MBMBaM 684: Beta Bat Bet

A representative from the Democratic Republic of Griffin has been granted special Travlomatic immunity to Trav Nation this week, and they're here to talk all about tasty eats for the creepy season: movie theater dinners, kids made of pizza, three donuts baked together, and delicious bugs just in your house.
Suggested talking points: Six Degrees of Ke$ha, Who's the Pace Horse, A Hearty Snack for Boys After Dark, Tech Deck Devil Sticks

For anyone curious about why the wikihow article used the phrasing "It is unlikely I will ever see a ghost" instead of "I will never see a ghost," this is often done in therapy. For example, this is an integral part of exposure response prevention therapy, which is used to help people with OCD. Telling yourself that you will never experience [blank] will leave you without coping skills and likely worse off than before if you do experience [blank] or something similar enough that it still triggers your disorder. It would be like a person having extreme fear about getting into a car crash and then the person having even worse fear after experiencing one because they told themself they would never experience their fear. So even if the situation is impossible, therapists will still use that phrasing of "unlikely" and "probably won't happen." It's about becoming less afraid of uncertainty. A lot of the tips given in this wikihow article seem to be based on actual therapy practices.

The weak one has spoken, how strange to hear this in Trav Nation

[@margathapai4010]

"In FNAF, they turn kids into pizza." I know enough about FNAF, through osmosis, to say that's probably not true, but also I don't know enough about FNAF to definitively say that's false.

[@ltdessdu2503]

Honestly the next novel might as well have a story about turning kids in to pizza that gives you eternal life or something.

[@christopherdyson1158]

​@@ltdessdu2503 There are novels?!?! ...I thought it was just like a trilogy of games.

[@ltdessdu2503]

@@christopherdyson1158 Yeah. I mean there is also technically like 10 or 11 games. And then there are like more books than that. There is a trilogi with three larger books and then there many many shorter ones. There is also a bunch of books that aren't like novels but like books with puzzles you have to solve or just lore about the game.

[@Levacque]

​​@@christopherdyson1158dude I work at a bookstore and there are SO MANY books. There are graphic novel series, regular novels, different series for different age groups, activity books, and it's all this bizarre spooky stuff aimed at kids and teens. But honestly, the way we approach it, we're glad kids are reading 😅

I am a proud citizen of The Democratic Republic of Griffin

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Hate to break it to Griffin but Kesha is a queer 36-year-old, there is like a 15% chance Kesha knows exactly who Travis is and he is her favorite brother.

[@abbywolffe4114]

There's also a 15 percent chance that she knows Travis is the brother of the guy who uploaded the berries and cream sound to tiktok

[@AntheanCeilliers]

Never a truer thing ever spoken

[@brettbass6742]

Lol pretty sure it was a joke 😂

[@SunflowerAspenPlays]

The whole Kesha conversation gave me so much life. I'd eat the Kesha bread.

[@niallgraham9487]

Everyone get your questions ready for Kesha's questpert!

49:33 “The Dog Known As Scooby-Doo” is the gritty reboot of “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo”

[@SuolaSirkka]

As a non-native English speaker who's never heard the word "concession stand" I fully thought they meant a confession stand, like at a Catholic church, when talking about getting a hot dog at the movie theatre. Every day I learn.

[@AntheanCeilliers]

@25:38 It's so rare to see a Travis/Justin team up, it warms my heart.

[@ahoomnamedmatty]

Getting spooked by Riven is the realest thing ever.

[@zigorously]

Just started playing that this month (after finishing Myst), and they both are for reals unintentionally spooky at times 😰

[@ahoomnamedmatty]

@@zigorously I feel this! I still have childhood trauma from these games (loved them anyway, despite that 😆).

"I did watch a movie, and I won't say which one, but it was long, and boring, and about Oppenheimer."

[@meaganlongley618]

Oh my god, I was trying to do my halloween make up and I had to stop at the end because it was so funny I couldn’t do my eye liner carefully enough

[@disky01]

MegaCorp Pavilion? They're really just saying the quiet part out loud, huh. Stand in your truth I guess, MegaCorp...

[@snozwanger760]

Griffin is awfully defensive for someone who "Isnt a Renfield".

[@anthonyb4479]

Please I gotta know if Travis and Kesha are friends

[@emmaward174]

I've never cared about the sonic bath until this episode, omg

[@HamburgerTime209]

Trav there is no way Kesha is not in her 30s, I don’t think you can be a dad figure for her

[@johntong9743]

Kesha is 36.

[@Salemiswatching]

Travis is 39.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Lol that 3 year difference man 😂

[@yourhighschoolenglishteach8405]

catch me at the next meet and greet drinking so many coca colas

can't believe no one suggested wearing Mbmbam merch instead 😔

I did once hide behind a box in Amnesia Dark Descent for about ten minutes in my real life and then turn the game off and never turn it on again so . . .

[@anthonyb4479]

We can’t keep doing this

[@BlueScreenCorp]

Its nice that these good old boys can just post their own pods to KZbin now that they are part of a cooperative and own all the rights to all the stuff they make

[@richmeads1897]

What's with the Bob Mortimer reference? Big Bob fan, so If they already talked about him I want to know where!

[@pieawaitsme]

Travis is the hot brother and his Kesha enthusiasm solidified this

[@timmyDR]

It's actually pronounced Ke-Dollar-Ha

[@Over_cooked_egg_noodle]

41:38 ahem WILL WOOD REFERENCE!?

[@jackroberts2704]

CRJ & Griffin vs Kesha & Travis. Whoever wins, we lose

[@hpalpha7323]

Great movie meal? Gotta be something clean, portable, not too noisy or smelly, minimal waste...... If you can be sure of its structural integrity a burrito could work, maybe a couple of those little junior burgers from wendys. Popcorn chicken or french fries sounds pretty good but might not qualify as "meal"

[@Mondo_182]
