MBMBaM 669: Oomp, There It Is!

[@jeremy____5747]

The correct pluralization is "Oompas Loompae"

[@HelloTardis]

Facts!

[@iantkach6640]

I was honestly not expecting another cold open about the Wonka movie that lasted 10-15 minutes, but I am *HERE for it*

[@spacebees86]

McElroy Mondays are keeping me alive

[@andrewbrowning1931]

669: the second-greatest number behind 420

[@CTATX]

Griffin’s story about the crunchy dude destroying a peeping drone with a frisbee is incredible, I’m shocked its never come up before. Also, he is not exaggerating how brutally cold Barton Springs is. As a child, I loved nothing more than to swim, yet I never wanted to go to Barton Springs bc it was just TOO freakin COLD for even an 11-year-old swim fan.

[@dboone7670]

Doesn't the water stay in the 50s or some shit?

[@CTATX]

Low 60s. Still, you don’t know what cold is until you jump in from a 100+ degree day into water that shocks your system by an instant -40 degree drop.

[@Jeevesie1988]

I want them to make a good Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie so they have a reason to make a Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator movie. Give! Me! My! Vermicious! K'nids!

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Good God, I _dearly_ hope that the whole "Autocado Robot" sequence gets animated by someone on KZbin someday. I need to see the robot breaking down at the sight of having a mere human (damn you, Dan with Tenure!) squash up all the precisely peeled, cut and cored Avocados. I was _dying_ at that bit! "I was so careful!" "PAPA NO!!!" "I could've been a surgical robot; did you see what I did!?!?!?"

[@moss_yt]

The “keep your kids away from Auto-cado” bit is basically the plot of FNAF

[@shelbyb3784]

you've heard of Oomp There it Is, now get ready for Oomps, all Loompas

Yay it’s Monday, and it’s up when I’m up 🎉😊

[@flairhayden]

My brother was really into creepypasta back when those stabbings happened in the news, and now I've got the perfect wikihow for my family that alienated him for it!

[@iantkach6640]

…you know, I get that this is kind of the norm for a lot of WikiHow articles - but the tone of that Slender Man piece feels like it was ALL over the place 😂

[@deigning]

this is my new favorite episode

[@hobocode]

I love that intro song so much

[@REMnut12]

Goddamn I love you boys!

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Technically I think the Wonka watch bit may be a SAG strike violation

[@MrOmactheawesome]

I had trouble listening because of this

[@laurafrakinroslin]

@@MrOmactheawesome it’s kind of a joke but also they are part of the union and they’re not suppose to promote upcoming (or completed) projects. Like I’m not going to start beef over it but it is odd they didn’t realize this

[@jackgillespie4594]

1) They explicitly say in the podcast that 2/3 of them didn't know the strike had officially started until they started recording 2) since the strike had only been voted on that morning, the guidelines for promoting projects hadn't been released 3) I really struggle to imagine the universe where openly mocking the trailer for a movie you're not affiliated with whatsoever is promoting it

[@laurafrakinroslin]

@@jackgillespie4594 thus why I’m not actually upset.

Why were you so scared to say chalamet is going to be terrible in this awful upcoming movie? Hes not going to be very good, obviously no shade against his skills its just a wild miscast.

[@cattbutt7758]

Exactly.

[@oliver9549]

I’m 90% sure they were being sarcastic and were joking around.

[@theWeaverofTales]

My brother in christ, this is a comedy podcast

[@clenelyn]

i think they implied it as clearly as they could without being nasty about it.

[@user-fl7sn9ng4j]

dude i just cant with travis anymore. i didn't know what people meant before when they were complaining and leaving for other podcasts, but the spell has been broken

[@cwalker8578]

bye 👋

[@user-fl7sn9ng4j]

@@cwalker8578 im just expressing my frustration, and judging by the 10x decline in viewership in the last 5 years im not the only one

[@Mcwollybob]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is also fatphobic as hell

[@Briman13]

22:51 to skip that slog of an intro. I hate the "x watch" bits, they're never funny.

[@OppositeofHATE7]

out of 669 podcasts, never is a strong word, my guy

[@faroshscale]

There is NO way they talked about it for _twenty two minutes._ Holy shit. Thanks for the skip button

[@alyssan62]

Disagree

[@MichaelS00]

I 'member when MBMBaM wasn't so politically charged. I seriously used to look forward to this show every week because it was one of a very few programs where it didn't deal with ridiculous American politics. I really wish we could just go back to not talking about politics and not feeling the need to broadcast who you vote for.

[@gemstone108]

They’ve always acknowledged politics. I dunno where you’ve been…

[@strayiggytv]

Tell me you aren't a long time listener without telling me. Also I listen to multiple UK based podcasts and they discuss politics too. It's almost like the system that controls the way we live our daily lives is important or something huh?

[@faroshscale]

​@@strayiggytvlong time listener here as well. They've always been political. Go listen to another show if you don't like it.
