Don't worry if you missed out on the pop culture zeitgeist in the big sport event! We've got the rundown on everything you missed: not going in twisters, anti-Valentines, Jon Bovie the cow musician, and hedgehog-adjacent tater tots.
Suggested talking points: Caffeine Porridge, An R2-D2 Full of Bath Bombs, Skibidi Valentines, Dolly Parton Drifting

[@mothergoose9383]

She is freakin' hilarious. I love her.

[@uuh4yj43]

ive been wanting to get into sawbones, where should i start?

37:28 jon bovi bit for posterity. i think the confidence with which he says it is what really sells it

[@murkyth0ughts]

thank you so much, i literally came to this video for this exact bit. you're a peach and i hope you have a great week

[@kristalgic1534]

I shouldnt have listened to this at work because now I'm trearing up from holding in my laughter about Jon Bovi

[@mothergoose9383]

My best friend's mom called him that. Killed us every time. Miss her.

18:34 "I have a cube shaped pillow for sleep, a log shaped pillow to hold, my uh Bluetooth headband and my two wrist-braces for carpal tunnel." Boy and I feel bad about needing an eyemask and ear plugs to sleep woah

I have to use a sleep apnea machine now in my 40s. Full on have to be strapped in to my rest pod.

@@sethharris813 yep, was thinking "pffft, where's your CPAP mask, Juice?" I have to roll backwards into bed like a scuba diver over the side of the boat so as not to kink my hose ...😅

My name is Seth and dislike Valentine's Day. I feel like this episode really spoke to me for some reason.

Me too, dude

[@Ruaryvash]

Podcast for the cool babies actually starts at 12:30. Everything before that is for the dads, just skip it

[@LucaAwooca]

Thank you.

[@robot_devils_advocate]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. For 12 million dollars a year, I would let Travis Kelce yell at me EVERY Sunday.

[@devcrom3]

How much would you pay for me to do it in a Kelce mask?

[@uuh4yj43]

every day of the week

[@maximillionchaoswolf]

The Reba bit was hilarious.

[@Levacque]

43:51 a chandler is literally a candle maker. Griffin's business plan is to sell candle makers. Griffin is a human trafficker. The unpaid warehouse smell-work is the screen, the setup, the moment you disappear and re-emerge in Lithuania as a chandler.

[@saraabel9718]

I haven't laughed at an episode as hard or as many times as the one today. Oh man 😂

[@taylordiclemente5163]

As a former candle safety tester, let me tell you - one three-wick peppermint-scented candle smells nice; a warehouse full of one hundred burns the eyes.

[@phillyfanmatt]

Munch squad is literally my favorite bit in all of MBMBaM, and I do not want it to end, but it is a crime that this particular munch squad will not be the final one. I just don’t get how any other one could more fittingly end the series.

[@jellyfisher0117]

700 is coming up so fast. i dont think they have anything planned

[@mustardofdoom]

"Sleep talismans" had me rolling

[@lukerabon7925]

Unfortunately for Griffin's billion dollar idea, wood wick candles already exist

[@mars6038]

[@lydiabarbry3310]

Lotta spots talk in this one

[@devcrom3]

How did they talk about the Ben Affleck commercial no one remembers but they didn't touch the Jesus Foot Fetish one?

[@awzthemusicalreviews]

Low hanging fruit; or, the result of violent repression (such as I went through when I saw the Scientology commercial)

[@NuglessMacArthur]

Hell yeah

[@uuh4yj43]

i feel like the boys lately have been getting back to their roots as southern straight boys with all this sports talk, right?

[@alienarchives2675]

[@commandrogyne]

Sydnee is so fucking funny between her 'telling justin abt soap operas neither of them have ever watched and never will' bit and 'i love you robocop' she may be funnier than justin ngl

[@thanaGogical]

im glad the intro song takes exactly 70 seconds so i know how much to skip
