MBMBAM has been really funny lately? I don't know, I've been really enjoying it.

I like how the lovely sound bath stems from both Griffin or Travis having “anxiety” about having to do any work for the show on a weekly basis for the outro. At least Justin tries with Munch Squad bits, as the lovely Wikihow poo poo is all user submitted anyhow.

The only McElroy show I listen to regularly anymore is Sawbones. Really enjoyed Justin laughing every time Sydnee said "the egg" in last week's episode.

Alaois posted:should i ask what sound bath actually is It is flat out just the three brothers making unintelligible sounds, sometimes finding a harmony, to end the show. It is absolutely nothing, it's worse than any ending bit they've attempted prior. So bad, in fact, I'm wondering how long before Griffin loses his cool and complains about it. I'll be shocked if this bit sticks. It's awful, lmao. Other than that I've had a good time with the episodes for the most part!

oh right because they don't have a final Yahoo. but surely there's a better solution than this lol I tend to bail at the plugs section anyway so whatever, but what a weird bit to do every week!

There has to be an archive of Yahoos out there for them to draw from.

Isn’t Quora a similar service? Maybe not inane enough?

change my name posted:Quora is absolutely insane but I think they swore it off after doing a few early on since it didn't feel right Quora is a lot more visibly international than Yahoo Answers was, and I think it’s a lot more apparent when somebody is writing ESL on Quora today than it was on Yahoo 15 years ago, which at a certain point can just come off like you’re making fun of somebody for being foreign and not writing English good Like a lot of the best Yahoo Answers moments are the result of people butchering the English language into nonsense, but the result is more unhinged and less “lol Engrish” because the implicit assumption was that they were American, or at least Western. Like if you read “how is babby formed…” or any other all-time classic Yahoo for the first time, but also you knew that the person writing it was from like rural India or whatever, then you might be less inclined to find it funny trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jul 12, 2023 |

MBMBAM was grim for a while for long stretches of 2019 through 2021 but they’ve seemed to be more invigorated and less grouchy since. I enjoy listening to it again these days

The podcast is good (despite the sound bath), but I think I might look forward to the Victory McElroyale streams more than anything else. The chaos and frustration of Super McElroy Brothers is unparalleled.

I'm sure it's hard to be funny for 600+ episodes, but I still think instead of Munch Squad they should just lean more into submitted questions. I mean they have a never ending stream of prompts in their inbox, they don't need to call Taco Bell. Also I've grown to look forward to terrible Travis games.

The thing I get most frustrated with on MBMBAM is the listener submitted question choice. Too often it’s like “I want to eat a bagel at work, how do I do that without people thinking I’m weird???” and I’m like, that is not an actual problem it’s just your crippling untreated social anxiety, nor is it a good jumping off point for goofs. It’s just boring

I don't even remember, what was the reason the Facebook group went insane over glass shark? I think he said the word fat or something and did an accent? I remember there was some drama about Justin going on a diet as well, so I'm assuming that's it

It’s just boring My favorites are the ones that involve a time-sensitive dilemma which has almost certainly passed by the time the brothers read the question on-air. Not even pretending to be looking for advice, just goofs (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I've watched upwards of five episodes of NCIS New Orleans and heard this sort of accent plenty.

Was that back when it was still angry griffin and stuff? It's honestly pretty crazy listening to the early stuff and knowing where the vibe ends up way later
