MBMBaM 486: That’s So Hambone!

Hello! We’ve safely returned from the concluding show of the Become the Monster tour. We are weary, but we also didn’t want to put up another live episode, so we like … just recorded a new one. It’s wild, we think. It was all a blur. Comin’ in hot!
Suggested talking points: Magic Al the Fleshmancer, Working Less, Two-Timing Dog, Day One Costume, Flamin’ Ice Cream, Nude Rider, Intermediary Brothers

[@kipper1668]

When Justin said "you're wife can't be swayed by a slice of baloney" and Travis said "it takes at least three" and no one addressed it it broke my heart. One of the most underappreciated Travis jokes in a long time...

I wouldnt worry so much about Travis, y'all. Theyre fresh off a tour and he is the middle child. And the podcast isn't their whole lives, so a little ribbing on it isnt a sign hes being Actually Hurt

[@ingecruzvonmcbronwyn-san5098]

Travis killing all humor and infuriating his brothers, in every various segment is my favorite part. Whether its Riddle Me Piss, or just, not having a bit at all and asking a general bad-stand-up 'hey do you remember...' type question. Its glorious. Thank you Travis.

I love the podcast in every conceivable way and listen to it daily- but could be get a place we can go to to know when an episode is getting delayed?

[@Jack-tu5yr]

They usually announce delays on the twitter, or in the moneyzone segments on previous episodes

[@MissLexiMarie]

Bilal Akeem neither this week or last week got a tweet about it. I know they might mention it in the show, but an external reminder is pretty reasonable

[@djfrogtime9956]

Lexi probably needs a nap griffin mentioned last weeks delay on his and his brothers appearance on desert bus for hope

[@noahatlas5240]

Travis’ relationship in the show is a slightly exasperated “that’s the only helpful thing I said?” I’d like to think part of the way Griffin constantly dunks on Travis is just the tone and gag of the show, and he’s not actually such an asshole to him. I really hope it’s a goof they’re all in on, and they’re not really so constantly dismissive. I hate hearing him shut down all the time, but I hope it’s part of the joke.

[@doffrey5342]

Just found this, what is this? Please lmk guys, I want to like it

[@djfrogtime9956]

Doffrey my brother my brother and me! i would recommend starting at episode 101 if you’re gonna work through the backlog bc the first ~100 are a little problematic and not as funny, but the boys have grown since then. if the immense backlog is daunting, i’d recommend watching their tv show of the same name! it’s on vrv.co for free. this show is really good and you should totally get into it!!

[@djfrogtime9956]

there’s only about 2 hours of their tv show. it’s what got me hooked on the podcast. i really like this show cause it’s the funniest podcast out there and they never make fun of people or groups of people and they’re so accepting of everything except ppl like the creator of Dilbert cause he’s a misogynist

[@glyph1869]

I personally don't really enjoy the live show episodes. The intros in live shows tend to be kind of dead air if you're not from the city and I like the personal vibe of the brothers talking to each other and me listening in rather than me listening to them present to a crowd.

[@paulunga]

Man, you guys sound exhausted in this one. Take care of yourself, after all, you're vital to the Trolls franchise. Also, am I the only one who thinks the whole "Movie Watch" bit is kinda weak? I mean Like A Talk A Dino is a classic, but the bit of inside knowledge of future movies doesn't lend itself to being a recurring one. Especially an episode opener. Also also, I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as during the "riding a motorcycle naked" question. I'm hoping there'll be animations of that one.
