MBMBaM 468: Down the Soda Hole

According to our editing software, this one is about 55 minutes long. Which is strange, because while we were recording in the Standing Energy Time Dilation Plane, it seemed a whole lot longer than that.
Suggested talking points: Standing Energy, Joe vs. Unassigned Carbon, Jelly Bean Pouch, Secret Donuts, Unfireable (w/ Guestpert Laura Kate Dale!), A Hospital for Humans and Birds

[@MortDork]

Justin's Stand is [ M A R G A R I T A V I L L E]

[@irokoalien]

Yeah, it’s really too bad we had to change it to [T E Q U I L A T O W N] In the localization

[@MortDork]

@@irokoalien LMAO

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

Stand Name: | Adam Sandler | Stand User: Griffin McElroy Stand Power: Creating solid structures out of sand Stand Name: | True Voice | Stand User: Justin McElroy Stand Power: Changing people's voices and controlling their speech Stand Name: | Bearded Dragon | Stand User: Travis McElroy Stand Power: Total control over beards and their growth, with the ability to set them on fire

[@mixmastermind]

This is not how Stands are named. Griffin's is fine, Justin's would be One True Voice, and Travis would be A Beard of Stars

[@bubblegumkk8158]

stands are named however the heck you want

[@aeugchad]

@@bubblegumkk8158 They're named after songs/bands lol

[@hermanmunster4607]

Stands are often named after songs or albums. But you can really name them after whatever you want.

[@greatbad5618]

“Adam Standler”

[@HPDDJ]

*Joker Voice* "There's lots of birds out in nature and they don't need doctors to live." Is probably my favorite MBMBAM quote of the last few years.

[@blue8913]

This legitimately is the first episode of MBMBAM that I've actually listened to. It would open with a jojo reference. lmao

[@PJTMercury]

The McElroys discover their Stands.

[@chrizchanang]

lol clever Jojo pun!

[@3picn355]

Griffin's stand: [B A N A N A V O R E C O R N E R]. Ability: swallow anything and absorb its energy and possible abilities, like Kirby.

[@jessicabuckham3421]

I just said "I'm Taako, y'know, from TV." in a Taako-like voice and for reasons unbeknownst to me, it suddenly gave me the power to work on my manuscript which I have not touched in two months. Thanks McElroys.

[@virtualboyscout4416]

McElroy bits have such raw energy when you say them out loud yourself the power can't be contained in any less than three vessels

[@hpalpha7323]

tfw your stand power is shooting jellybeans from your urethra

[@Rankerquat]

Everyone knows it's impossible to tell jokes while standing up.

[@evie5375]

yeah stand up comics are actually sitting, their legs are just really long

[@static4948]

Stand up comedians have lied to us all

[@BannanaOnFloor]

Vet etiquette: Don't let your animal say hi to other animals unless the owners say it's okay. You never know who's just there for a shot or who's sick.

[@todayjackdo7036]

Vetiquette

[@Trick.Sparrow]

Vetique- DAMNIT

[@peterm5545]

i love that no matter how many times he tries justin can never get through a joker impersonation

[@tree-turtle9944]

This actually is my first episode, and I want 467 more of these

[@Maradrafts]

Welcome! (I've got good news for you... :))

[@KazzieBB]

GRIFFIN KNOWS WHAT JOJO IS

[@olivertalks121]

everyone's gotta stand up and listen to this ep with their full standing energy!

[@tejntanga]

This is in fact my first actual episode of MBMBaM. I was not disappointed.

[@Maradrafts]

Glad to have ya here!

[@Dabednego]

If You Give a Sandler a McMuffin

[@IEatYourSandwiches]

how on earth did they manage to rehash the little old lady challenge bit

[@nerdily1052]

I literally had a co-worker who owned a dog make a similar comment one time about my pet guinea pig and I’m still not over it 😂

[@maskedabba4894]

Waking up on a Monday morning is the worst possible feeling that brings pure dread to every living being, but the McElroy bros give me a reason to wake up

[@warren_waters]

You know, the standing energy is very powerful, but I am gonna need Juice to never describe his ropey excretions ever again

[@CaptLuser]

43:49 w...what happened to Cecil?! edit: I've since learned that he ran away and is presumed dead. not to be controversial but don't make the same mistake as griffin. keep your cats indoors.

[@kresendoe]

Seriously!!! Is he okay???

[@AnoukvdS]

I think they mentioned on Wonderful! a few months ago that their cat died.

[@slevemcdichael4481]

taking proper care of a pet shouldn't be controversial. keep your cats indoors!!!

[@joeybrodeur548]

This was my first podcast, and i listened to it while standing

[@EpicBeard815]

I listened to this episode laying down, because I became the monster and I'm not backing off. Also, I'm sick

[@deanmarshallshalabi]

*_BONG NOISE_*

[@GippyHappy]

I totally thought they were joking about standing but now I think they're really doing it

[@Gibbs_300]

First episode. Already loving it.

[@chrizchanang]

I have a standing desk and as soon as the boys started talking about it, I too, am now doing JoJo poses in the office.

[@adventuretimeness222]

I feel like they think it’s impossible for vets to reject certain kinds of animals they aren’t knowledgeable enough to treat. For my sisters pet micro pig she has to drive to a vet an hours and a half away because none of the local vets will take him. He really only goes to get his tusks filed down though

[@and_also_aaron3372]

Not gonna lie, I stood today and it felt pretty good. See you again Standing Day 2020!

[@kassybirdy]

god im such a cool baby

[@Pomlithe]

BABY IDENTIFIED EVALUATING COOLNESS LEVELS... *!WARNING! RADNESS OVERLOAD! THIS BABY IS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!*

[@TalkS1ck3]

This is the first episode I ever listened to. Guess the McElroy family got their wish

[@scotwoodz3787]

What’s funny you were joking about what if this is someone’s first time listening to this show.......I looked at the time, of course it was 4:20.....Since it is my first time, I checked to see how many episodes I missed....over 450. I will be looking forward to listening to the show from now on.....I have to thank autoplay! Finally a great recommendation!

[@LuluGE]

this was one of the funniest episodes in a while ... that standing energy tho

[@19nmiller1]

I listen to the podcast while I'm working and now I gotta explain to my coworkers why I seemingly randomly burst out laughing when Justin said the natural pocket for a jelly bean is your urethra

[@sadierift1201]

9:59 is so funny "-now Travis is on Google now he's googling things!" is just so well delivered

[@ZeSnark]

STANDO POWAH! Also, I was using my standing desk while listening to this episode.

[@8DNArt]

And this is why Mc Donalds now servers breakfast all day lol

[@Trick.Sparrow]

God I wish they did that here

[@daniellesene7574]

I’m listening to this episode while working where I’m just standing and walking around for an hour anyways soooooo........ sorry for being a hero 🤭

[@eridanampora3024]

In the eyes of new York Times a hero is basically anyone who does his or hers job

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I would have taken that lady at the vet out to the parking lot for a row. That was incredibly rude, can you imagine someone making a vague threat at your child at the pediatric office??

[@exponentbracket]

it's actually ironic that this is my first episode i've listened to- LOL

[@thiscoolaccount4488]

4:12 “I hope this is someone’s first episode they’ve ever listened to” I’m glad to be that someone. I think.

[@thiscoolaccount4488]

Update: I do, in fact, enjoy this standing podcast. I feel like they go a little off topic sometimes though. Make it more about standing.

[@safehavenonice6431]

This is my first episode. I can't believe my sister tried to get me into the standing show.

[@katharinew4218]

I love Laura Dale :)

[@faroshscale]

This MBMBAM was posted July of this year. I just went on John Patrick Shanley's Twitter and all he's posted for what appears to be the past several months is two things each day: "Good Morning" with a picture, and "Good Night" with a picture. The pictures range from Marilyn Monroe to a bouquet of flowers on fire, and none of them have any context. Something has happened to this man.

[@noahatlas5240]

This has got to be hands down my FAVORITE opening EVER

[@dragamation3266]

Petition to get Griffin to watch Jojo lol

[@Rygoat]

The idea of a hospital being also full of birds is fucking wild.

[@sethp8947]

Well this is my first episode and now I'm hooked

[@naughtypanda4891]

The best god damn thing to wake up to, thanks for saving my life

[@theredvelveteer4721]

time for a standing ovation

[@noahatlas5240]

TheRedVelveteer boooooooo

[@markafterdark8047]

Loved the show but at the money zone Honey, the deal finding bloatware doesnt work. It uses outdated coupon codes and rarely updates. Its 2019 and I saw it trying to use a discount code from 2015

[@epoillaKory]

MarkAfterDark finally someone else who finds honey doesn’t work, i thought i was the only one!

[@NefariousElasticity]

I've been having issues too. I have 2500 gold that's been "processing" for around 6 months. Honey used to be cool, but it's maintained and operated like a whole ass joke now.

[@evie5375]

huh, its worked when i've used it, but i also rarely buy stuff online

[@permithurple3457]

STANDO POWAH

[@jordanomaly]

In some massive coincidence, I started this episode only moments after I put my desk into standing mode at work lol

[@jordanomaly]

I'm 20 minutes in and still standing guys, I'm sorry. I'm going to go the whole way.

[@gabbylynn8746]

I listened to the entirety of this episode while standing at the sink doing dishes and folks, it's achievable

[@sorignhasword3651]

Looks up: Is that a JoJo reference? Scrolls down: Is that a JoJo reference?⁴²

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Had my tickets for Austin for 2 weeks now. See ya in the first row ;)

[@shawnaeatscats]

Throwback: unrelated: somehow griffin predicted phileaux in the intro (not a jab at clint, it just cracks me up when I witness father-son coincidences)

[@ILoveSuju2ne1SNSD]

My parents first date was Star Wars A New Hope and even though I was born many years later I technically exist because of star wars

THI SIS THE NEW HIT SINGLE FROM LIZZO HFKJDFKJAJ

[@awstenknight1830]

This is the first episode I've listened to.

[@royalavera354]

This is the first episode I ever listen, so your wish came true.

[@gucketjug]

Okay he opened it that time and it’s like they BOOSTED the levels, and just didn’t even mention it.

[@MerryRose__]

does everyone else feel the standing energy time warp? Everytime I listen to this episode it feels exactly like how they describe it and it kinda freaks me out. I can't tell if its just my brains tricking me or if the first 20 minutes are actually cursed standing audio. maybe it was just all the drawn out standing talk

[@countmeowington]

Woah, I have been on this jelly bean belly button train since 2012.

[@jamesmiller7290]

This legit was my first episode before i only watched the animations

[@RobTunes]

17:49 - the jelly bean pouch 19:00 - the standing and the buckling 20:08 - more time dilation

[@r.j.macready3218]

Bruh, the fact these Southern Baptists didnt make a reference to veggie tales with "Everybody's got a baby kangaroo" is ridiculous.

[@shluv87]

I’m gonna be real. This IS the first time I’ve actually attempted to listen to one of these XD

[@whoviana]

GRIFFIN WHAT HAPPENED TO CECIL

[@liamobrien1839]

Clearly John Patrick Shanley should direct the MBMBAM movie...

[@goldcryptdavid]

THIS WAS MY FIRST EPISODE AND IM SO CONFUSED

[@sdquad6]

Someone in my extended family had their dog kill and iirc start to eat the cat before being stopped... So there you go boys.

[@chaseknight6450]

If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.

[@twistysunshine]

Two guests??? In two weeks??? Wild

[@Emiltee]

i normally listen to this while cooking, and the fact that I stopped listening @ exactly 16:10 is a fucking miracle

[@tiltedaphelion7404]

she really did get on mbmbam after all. good job laura kate dale! be excellent

[@noahatlas5240]

The kangaroo bit with Travis reminds me so much of Aubrey

[@ardendelspain]

frick me. i was trying to swallow my pb&j when griffin hit us with his real voice. have you ever aspirated a sandwich? it's painful

[@CancelSanity]

"Look, gun. Two targets."

[@Wartooth2112]

The amount that griffin seems to hate pets makes me sad

[@yung_bonsai]

Let's make it rain on these Standing Boys™

That appearance has been a nice surprise for me.

[@NunDePlume]

@@plodiN3 what did you like most about her?

[@Feasco]

@@NunDePlume She's so lovely and such a talent

[@NunDePlume]

@@Feasco She has a similar cadence and delivery as the brothers

[@jak-A127]

Although I think she's a hack Laura was a funny and natural guest.
