MBMBaM 655: Did Robotnik Send You?

Strap in, y’all, we’re getting intellectual in this one. We read about De Broglie wavelengths and we tried to use ‘em to let us enjoy a special frozen drink while watching the new Grease TV show, but that got too complicated. So instead we traveled to an alternate universe and set ourselves up for a PERFECT callback.
Suggested talking points: Big City Foley, Every Day’s a Day, Personal Pan Nobel Pizza Prize, Thanksgiving Wedding, Grease is the Drink

Griffin's wish for a Christmas funeral "because you're gonna be thinking about ME!" is so funny.

[@mason8920]

That couple getting married probably went down the thought process of "everyone has thanksgiving off, and my family will be coming to town for that. Might as well roll them together". but didnt consider that their friends probably wouldn't be able to accommodate their plans.

[@jackroberts2704]

It's still wild to plan your wedding on Thanksgiving. That's asking for people not being able to make it.

[@Juniper_Rose]

@@jackroberts2704 yeah like. That's fine for a family only wedding but you have to expect like, NO friends make it.

[@Em-kz4yv]

I actually think that may be their plan. They probably want a small wedding, but didn’t want to awkwardness of not inviting people. By having it on thanksgiving, it’s both giving their guests an easy excuse to not go, and gives them the relief of having asked all the “right” people.

I read robotnic as two words and thought it was going to be a joke about calling vaping robot nic as if they were tiny mechazords

[@norge0209]

My grandparents were married on Thanksgiving Day, but that was in 1948, so I’m guessing it wasn’t as big a deal then.

[@mothergoose9383]

They may have just capitalized on a day when most family would already plan to be around.

[@norge0209]

@@mothergoose9383 That’s very likely.

[@Twapska]

I got married the day after Thanksgiving (Nov 29, it was on the 28th that year). 😂

[@localman8914]

travis's thanksgiving wedding callback was legendary

[@Aster_druid]

As someone who hates Thanksgiving for Toxic Family Reasons, I could absolutely see this person using this as an excuse to have a small wedding without having to make an excuse for not inviting all the people they "should" invite. They know they "should" invite like 150 people, say, but they only want like 20 people to show up. How do you pull that off without offending 130 people? Put it on Thanksgiving.

[@joebordash3160]

Travis' distant "Fuck yeaaaa" during the Sonic bit is KILLING me.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Picturing the Venn Diagram between Sonic and Sonic crossing over in the "Chili Dog" section brings me so much joy - thank you for pointing that out, Griffin. 😆 And God, I _wish_ the world was cool enough to make the Nobel Prize just a Pizza Hut 12" and an ice-cold Mountain Dew. I feel like, if a Nobel Prize winner received some 'Za and Dew, they'd enjoy the Pizza more. Right? They have to! They earned it!

[@Devininity]

I'm hooked on the brother's!, being hooked on Sonic, who's hooked on Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies with their "special beverage"

All those time travel multiverse nerds are gonna be so pissed when they find out that temporal presentism is the ONE TRUE metaphysical interpretation of QM. Then my screenplay, "All The Things, Only Here, Right Now" will finally get the recognition it deserves.

Griffin saying he got married on December 7th, The Day That Will Live In Infamy, made me realize how fuckin hilarious it’d be to get married on 9/11

[@mothergoose9383]

That's not actually funny, though.

[@goodjaubrey]

I know someone who got a huge discount at a wedding venue for having it on 9/11 bc no one else wanted that day lol

My birthday is on 9/11. Makes me feel some solidarity with Noam Chomsky, whose birthday is December 7th.

Short episode? With lots of talk about how much they dislike doing this show in the intro? Bad vibe framing of an otherwise perfectly good episode :(

[@pindebraende]

they didn't say anything in the intro about disliking doing the show...?

[@scarletbard6511]

The intro was just about being a "Vice Show," where each of them are recording, and Joe Biden. When did they talk about disliking the show?
