MBMBaM 464: Face 2 Face: Peace with the Ground-Children

We bumped the Grand Ole Opry from the Ryman lineup to present our own twisted, skewed comedy to the fine folks of Nashville, Tennessee. It was a momentous show, if only for the fact that we finally struck an accord with the Sky-Warriors, and put a climactic end to our centuries-long, unbelievably costly battle.

THEY CUT TRAVIS' NEW BIT!!!!! Travis introduced a new bit in the Nashville live show where he reads his ideas for new movies. The kicker is, Travis started this bit because Justin and Griffin told him he wasn't allowed to text them about it until he had fully written, directed, and produced said movie ideas. So it was just Travis telling us about his idea for a new movie called "The Kick" (you can find it on his twitter) and Justin and Griffin just getting so mad at their middlest brother for forcing them to hear his bad movie ideas. AND THAT IS WHY it is a crime that they cut Travis' amazing new bit. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

[@bsbrom]

[@em_birch]

"Bread For Ground Children" is my new favorite bit.

[@NunDePlume]

9:22 "I'm Caleb Fax™️, did you know turtles are just frogs with a big shell on?!" *-Griffin*

[@UsotheMarshmallow]

"I don't have to throw a brick through the olive garden door in order to go eat my uncooked fettucini" - Griffin McElroy

[@GregSiekman]

Turning his pain into comedy.

[@ten8603]

I can't believe they missed "What If Godzilla Was One Of Us" in that first question

[@bloodlustrous]

The way Justin says “Spread the wORD” 👌👌👌

[@commandrogyne]

12:35 when i first heard griffin say to-eye-let i almost crashed my car

[@brookebleazard73]

man it really speaks to me when one brother gets possessed and starts just speaking in fucking tongues like master chief, mango cult, glass shark and now Ground Children

[@MagicVodca]

didn't realize this was a live show at first and thought they added a cheer sound effect

[@fantsypants8313]

Thank you guys so much. I was there, and it was everything I wanted it to be.

[@Anafyral666]

Inhaler question: Put the inhaler cannister into a vape

[@twistysunshine]

Man the ground children bit is truly art

[@PhoenixIsOnline]

SO unbelievably happy I got to witness this show live this past weekend! shout out you beautiful McElboys

[@NunDePlume]

The one flex in the world that actually gets to me

[@nesterChubat]

live shows are always a deliiiighhht. it's like this show was meant to be live

[@PyrokineticFire1]

Eating lasagna without human utensils...but no Garfield comparison?!

[@DeeCross]

Sure, he also doesn't use utensils, but it was quite specific about eating lasagne with *hands*.

[@broodovermind]

aw man, i would totally buy those butterflies off you if you don't want em!!! I collect framed and mounted insects and skulls and stuff.

[@katl.7586]

that was perhaps the best final yahoo they've ever done

[@caturdaie]

god that dead butterfly question was mine and im here to report we still have that god damn butterfly that just sits on a fake plant and every so often i look at it and think about how far we’ve come

[@koolaidman_]

I looked it up, and Sweet Lightning does look like Satan but piss

[@electricstrawberry1635]

Yeah

[@ilikesloths8288]

had a dream last night where i met griffin mcelroy and then he vomited on me and left i feel like that might be an omen

[@sylvester452]

is it possible that this is just a repressed memory that's re-emerging? lol

[@kaylabella119]

I don't know if I'm the only one who's brain immediately jumped to it, but when Justin started the Ground-Children bit with that voice I was just a copy of that shocked BEYONCE? meme bc my brain went KARDALA???

[@annikaberg1350]

This is my fave episode

[@pluutonius]

????? NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW BUCK WILD THE BIRD QUESTION WAS???? THERE WAS A TWIST LIKE EVERY TWO SECONDS

[@ryntalkstoomuch4686]

[@marlesimms]

Live show recordings are hit or miss for me, but man, this one hit hard

[@spamreciever4208]

"You can't 'So so so' mortality, Sam!" is a phenomenal ooc.

[@xatlern]

I literally can't remember the last time I went to a KFC, but I might need to after that munch squad. I just looked it up to double check that it's still a thing that exists

[@FadeTouched]

So happy I got to see you guys. Very thankful for the experience, means so much!

[@littleleakyleakythere]

break ends at 35:30

[@possiblewitch]

[@grace25g]

[@2121bassplayer]

I'm going to my first live show in september, so i'm taking notes, i'm so excited :D

[@XeansIcemane]

8:55 is the title Yahoo, for the interested.

[@brody2k]

I swear if this title is a reference to the 100 Update: it certainly feels related, it might be wishful thinking though.

[@rollercoasterdude96]

Don't mind me, just making a button. 36:32

[@starlingmurmuration]

kfc and mountain dew are totally dew-ing it

[@bottlesalts]

I wanna go to a MBMBaM live showw!!!

[@sydnickiB]

There were a bunch of callbacks this episode!

[@sonya6191]

There is no KFC x MNT Dew fanfic or fan art I’m disappointed

[@evelynlamoy8483]

I too am a lasagna criminal.

[@forestdoor8897]

Aren't chickens also technically ground children?

[@SK-oo4uq]

feral chickens can fly.

[@bravetherainbow]

"Update: No."

[@sweetprimrose]

GRIFFIN DROPPING REFS TO MOTHERFUCKIN' FLUKE IN THE YEAR OF OUR DARK LORD LUCIFER 2K19 - it's a bad movie but boy do I remember it!

[@reesemcgeese824]

[@kaorudragneel8498]

I HAVE AN AUNT KATHY LMAO

[@cameron5422]

[@---fi2ml]

[@omnislacrima]

[@hogquaffer4741]

middle ads end at 35:00

[@charlieguy6872]

was this recorded on June 16th?

[@guavajagular]

Which gay on the marketing team got a press release for a Peach drink that shipped Sweet Lightning x The Colonel during Pride Month?

[@izzybella3409]

holy SHIT everyone is talking about the ground-children WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKIN KFC/MNTDEW FANFIC???

[@idiotcube]

Did Zach come back???

[@ouchie13]

Okay but what if the guy kept the tag on this shirt because he wants to return it after the date. He’s definitely just a cheapskate.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

my immediate thought

[@dagger3928]

I am the 666th person to like and I feel accomplished

[@alembicsystem]

i hope sam knows they're amazing

[@sidney9796]

someone tell me why im both attracted to sam's vibe and voice she said "i reckon" and i went 😳😳😳😳😳

[@zacharywood9416]

I hate the bird one. What a terrible person 🙄

[@Romanticoutlaw]

right? What’s her plan for when a human relative dies?

[@Pamelalrene]

Do the people at the mic not hear their laughter booming across the theater? Step away from the mic, please.

[@Nicholasryan17]

These live shows are never as funny as the ones they record by themselves. The echoes make every joke less funny, audience members are cringe inducing, and waiting for applause to die down kills any momentum

[@bearfamous_]

Nicholasryan17 well as someone who was there. I promise you, the live shows are not for the people who listen to the recordings. That's just a bonus

[@elitecabela5329]

Bet you’re fun at parties, huh

[@notveryniceatall]

​@@elitecabela5329 Your comment is 100 times more embarrassing than their's lol. I can just tell you're an absolute spineless loser in real life.
