MBMBaM 453: The Grotto of Gains

Wow, oh boy, do we hope you love benign observational humor. Oh jeez. We’ve really put all our chips down on benign observational humor, and if that doesn’t pay off - yikes! We’re gonna lose our shirts!
Suggested talking points: PGA Street Ball, Owl Trust, Bug Armor, Emergency Greeting Card, Jacked Triton, A Wet Edible Aggro Crag, Candy Boss, The Ravioli Beast

God I love the image of the raviolli factory erupting into a bacchinalian orgy of pasta consumption, a floor manager bursting into the overseer's office, "It's happening!! It's happening!!!" Line works are dancing together, hanging their open mouths under the feeder belts, doves flying through, the sun finally comes out from behind the clouds and twinkles through the orange-tinted factory glass, and the curse is lifted from Steve the janitor who turns into a beautiful maiden riding a white horse, ladeling out ravioli as she's flocked by butterfly-shaped pasta.

Travis is expressing some very powerful and challenging ideas in this episode 😂😂

[@MakoClover]

As someone who lived in a house in Florida that was on a golf course as a kid, the fear of being killed by a golf ball flying at you and putting holes in the house is so real The golfers would be out golfing during hurricanes even! They wouldn't even apologize when they'd almost hit me and my sister playing in the backyard, they'd just ask for their golf balls back. They also broke a few windows and didn't have to pay to fix them so my parents had to pay tons to get 'golf proof' windows. The moral of the story is, golfers are evil and not human, don't get into golf, Griffin, you'll lose your soul.

Golf also requires a stupid amount of land for what the game actually is.

He doesn't actually pronounce it that way it's a bit. Do you think he actually kisses Clint square on the lips? 😂

[@alejandrorivas4585]

Because its a running gag from one of the first like, 5 episodes of the show. It was a joke about how modern cool products were marketed with intentional misspellings. And it just kinda stuck

Griffin is explicitly wrong about "love you lots" being an abnormal thing to say to a casual friend.
