[@annieeggo2536]

H'AAM and J'AAM

[@chromaphasia453]

annie eggo take a look in my mind H'AAM

[@8bitPikachu]

Jaam? tfwiki.net/wiki/JaAm This Jaam?

[@att6844]

br'aad

[@k.a.u.4599]

Jaam said with one syllable and long "aah" in center, and Ja'am said with two syllables.

[@wearethebomb42]

Didn’t they write the Berenstain Bears books?

[@sapphic_sophie]

Apple's paternal grandmother would be named Granny Smith. Worth it just for that if you ask me.

[@Arrakiz666]

I mean she'd be Granny Smith no matter what, but I see your point.

[@darkvioletcloud]

Ah, just like in My Little Pony.

[@argetlamgirl711]

if we're taking food-themed twin names, has anyone considered taako and chalupa?

[@thepanemaniacs1310]

pocoloki i was abt to make this Exact comment

[@crowstrive1426]

The Panemaniacs GAH same here

[@karabirb]

FUCK is that was Lup is short for???

[@calebduarte5255]

@Nai Birbduck Not canonically, apparently that was the original plan but for whatever reason Griffin decided to keep it as Lup instead. In my head, it’s always been short for Chaalupa though.

[@EnkerZero]

the birth of ja'am

[@jennieivins]

I honestly knew a set of boy/girl twins named Paul and Ester. So they were Pauly-Ester.

[@royalninja2823]

Those are both like, normal fuckin names on their own though. Not Jam.

[@justinbueche7315]

Their parents must be fan of Bubsy Bobcat

[@versebuchanan512]

I knew a real-life Crystal Shanda Lier.

[@sindrehsoereide]

If I got boy twins I would be tempted to name them Dewey and Louie just because people would then assume that they were triplets but that Huey died but be too embarassed to ask about it.

[@teaerrors360]

Sindre Søride no one would assume that

[@marialalima2074]

@@teaerrors360 Um, yeah they would!

[@jjju3]

"this is my son, mark, and my daughter _would have been better off adopted,,,,_ I love them both dearly"

[@hypomanix]

I actually know someone named Jam. Well actually her name is Julie Anne Marie, but she just goes by Jam.

[@damienm.9677]

That’s actually so dope

[@spacequeenasmr6573]

My sister came up to me one day and said "I never want to have twins, so if I do I'm gonna name them Crystal Meth and Crystal Seth."

[@KD-ou2np]

Crystal M really got the short end of the stick in that scenario huh

[@versebuchanan512]

@@KD-ou2np I've said this elsewhere, but in school, I knew a Crystal Shanda Lier.

[@knobwobble]

"I'm Dr. Dr. Pepper Smith." I'm getting some Joel vibes here..

[@Pomlithe]

I couldn’t believe the end of the Adventure Zone where the US president nukes Norway.

[@KindaNotReally]

I sat up in the middle of the night, desperately needing to hear this exact bit, so I just searched mbmbam ham and jam. As you can see, it worked.

[@deaths_enigma]

"Jam and Ham Smith" Brothers: *proceed to lose their minds laughing*

[@risipieces]

oh god this is in the first 100 and i wasnt aware til about 3 minutes in

[@scottl.2588]

Same. I got tipped off when Justin said a certain word that I’m not comfortable repeating

[@faroshscale]

2:58 oooof. This is how you know it's an older episode LOL

[@jellyfishneo]

yeah that's a yikes from me

[@solarprncss]

I had two friends that were twins named Sylvia and Sylvio. Sylvio is now studying to be a dentist and Sylvia is in prison.

[@JulesSepulchre]

This is how Araki named the characters in Vento Aureo

[@marveltard]

Pretty much

[@bluebear2214]

The main antagonist's alter ego's name is fucking Vinegar

[@wiktoriarynkun3673]

Blue Bear But he goes just by Vinegar

[@justinbueche7315]

Yeah, but I think (and truly hope) that those are their code or nicknames, because it's going to be hard to get respect if your name looks like you're born and raised in a fucking grocery store

[@Jupiterninja95]

Every single time I listen to this I forget Justin uses the r word and it hurts my soul

[@baileylogan8889]

Jupiterninja95 Yeah I always feel taken aback when I listen to old eps and hear stuff like that. It’s cool to see how much people can change in like eight years though. Makes me feel better about humanity.

[@shamblestheclown]

im so glad they have grown/matured into the icons they are today. they're huge advocates for inclusivity and such, and it's why I'll always tell people that anyone can change their ableist/racist/etc ways.

[@josephharold808]

I think it not only speaks to a general change in sensitivity, but also a change in the way that English language works culturally. I legitimately think that, since the 1990s even going as far up as since the early '10s, we as a society have drastically changed the way that words are used. As someone who is autistic and gay, I used to use those as descriptors for things that were annoying and dumb (i was in middle school at this time) and have since noticed a general shift in the way both words are used from negative to neutral or even positive. Hell, reading a piece of literature written in 2013 almost feels like a piriod piece that must be read in historical context when some *protagonists* speak. Language has shifted swiftly in the last decade, weather you read it as good or bad speaks about you, but it's undeniable that English is malleable, by culture or by reform, and change is slow enough to be unnoticeable and yet fast enough to be shocking!

[@t.s9021]

@@josephharold808 I suppose it probably has something to do with the rise of internet; being exposed to so many different kinds of cultures and folks, especially interacting via writing, means language adapts so much faster than before, when you'd only speak to other cultures very rarely. Whereas back even a few decades it would take something like an influential book or some TV show to alter the use of words en masse, now even stupid things like "yeet" can be spread across the globe in a matter of days.

[@robertsmithfan877]

yeah being a neurodivergant person, hearing that definitely pissed me off lmao

[@pluutonius]

"hehe I love this bit it's so funny Oh That's A Slur ):"

[@itsyaboykam]

I felt that so hard holyyy

[@sapphic_sophie]

Old mbmbam be like that, huh :( It does make me respect how much better they’ve gotten though

[@fluidstatic5564]

"Just turn your family into a big dumb compote" gets me every time. 😂

[@user-sg6ww7ts6n]

educated justin taught regular justin the word “prognosticate” and thats the only explanation ill accept

[@danieljensch3754]

"Come on and slam and welcome to the jam" is the best bedroom line though.

[@Maddiethedumbasslesbian]

Seems like Luke and Leia, two normal names, would be on that guy’s list

[@blackhillsbirder881]

I remember reading a spy kids type book where the protagonists were a pair of twins named Coke and Pepsi McDonald

[@neonblaze9177]

YES!!! I REMEMBER those books!!! I was looking in these comments to see if anyone else knew about The Genius Files!!!

[@thatquietkid]

Come on and Jam and welcome to the Ham

[@epoillaKory]

Sometimes I look at my list of (very extremely Jewish) potential baby names and worry about how growing up would be with those names (Tzipporah, Chaim, Yaakov, etc.) but then I think about this bit and I feel a little better.

[@isaiahlee2008]

Ik Ur comment is like a year old but those names are SO cool

[@rockinrobin42]

This is not even a joke, when my little brother was born in1998 my Mom says there was a woman having twins and she was going to name them Oranjello and lemonjello. That's right, she was going to name her kids after orange and lemon jello 'cuz that's all they would let her have.

[@IFledFromKansas]

A friend of mine had the same thing happen! People are so wild.

[@MortHarlequin]

if you named your kids Sugar and Spice both of them are going to be strippers

[@user-qq4tj8gm8b]

i was half expecting "phoebo and phoebe" like from 'friends' i am disappointed

Makes more sense than my Great-great aunt and uncle, twins Bernadel and Bernadean. Or my great grandma and her twin, Pearl and Merle.

[@jarroddobben]

2:57 oh damn I didn't know old mbmbam swung at those pitches

[@aaronyayger]

Yeah, it's based as fuck. Wish they stuck with it.

[@partlyironic]

Biiig oldest sibling/baby sibling energy at the start there

[@ColeMacho]

It's a shame this parent didn't have quintuplets, because then they could have had La Li Lu Le and Lo Smith

[@beaubryant4465]

i used to live next to a man named Van, who had a twin brother named Vaughn . at least, i think that's how it's spelled...

[@Altorin]

Call them Boy and Girl.

[@WaitinInAmber]

3:00 you know this shit’s old when Justin is laying down the r-word 😬

[@spore4ever91]

You can tell this is an old one because Justin says a slur!

[@robertsmithfan877]

yeah, but the fans will still act like the brothers are perfect unproblematic angels tho!

[@pureicefire]

I knew a family who named their girls after spices (Cinnamon, Sage, etc) and their boys...after guns (e.g. Ruger). o_O

[@fandomtrash6016]

Wham, bam, thank you Doctor Jam

[@Slop_Dogg]

you can tell this is old. back when podcasts still said “retarded” on the reg

[@AGuyWithAChannel]

Stireene and Paul

[@imsowonderstuck]

"Apple and Pear" like the twins from What A Girl Wants?

[@AceAttorny]

I feel like anyone who's into the very concept of twins legally should not be allowed to have them, and, yes, that does include like 80% of the The Adventure Zone fandom.

[@Animallovercomedian]

Fair and fair

This is the second video in this playlist with an ableist slur in it and as a disabled person that fucking sucks. Does anyone know if they've addressed this since this episode or changed it?

[@starfakename9293]

dont know if theyve addressed it specifically but they do say that new listeners should skip the first 100 episodes or so bc they were full of offensive comedy that does not reflect their current worldview, if that helps bc yeah they used to be Sometimes Pretty Gross at the very beginning, very much 2010 nerdbro energy around the good bits :/ theyve done pretty good at outgrowing it, afaik? like i totally started towards the end so whenever i find the classic bits with gross things its a total shock
