MBMBaM - Down To Be Abducted

From Episode 47 "Sleeve It"

"Focus on good, gentle aliens." is now my favourite sentence Ever spoken

[@kristinaamuan7577]

Sarah Williams he means mass effect romance option aliens

[@SavagePassion666]

Focus on Jaal and waterfalls.

[@AceAttorny]

Question: is it necessary to meet both criteria? Like, do the aliens have to be both good AND gentle or can they be either one? What if the aliens are good, but they're kind of heavy-handed about it? Or what if they're evil, but they only want to kill you in non-painfull ways?

“Tricked you again.. You duMb bItch...” sounded so little brother-ish

When Griffin clenches his teeth and says “let’s get him” I lose it. Every time.

I can't believe that Lin Manuel Miranda admitted that he listens to hours of MBMBAM when there have been bits like this. A legend.

[@risipieces]

Glazeliights in the fucking. god i haven’t listened to hamilton in ages but the one just before the reynolds pamphlet hamilton says “unless...” and then jefferson, burr, and madison respond “..UNLESS??” is confirmed by lin to be explicitly a mcelroy reference

[@connorlynch3474]

I can't explain why Griffin's "hey there he is" at 02:42 is so hilarious, but it's even better that it's completely ignored

[@capriottimultimedia]

"you dumb bitch" is a really powerful phrase. Like it's super aggressive. It's so punchy. Say "you dumb bitch" right now and you'll just feel that power surge through you. It's incredible

[@Youssii]

This isn’t quite related but the title of this clip reminded me of this time a guy on a hookup app tried to get me to abduct him. He messaged me asking if I’d kidnap him, and when I said no, asked why. I told him I just wasn’t interested in that. He asked me what I was into, and because he was hot, I told him. He then told me that I could just abduct him and do those things to him. I refused again, and when he kept nagging, I reported his account. Then he made a new account and asked again. It would have seemed rapey and threatening that he wouldn’t take no for an answer, except for how you just can’t really force someone to kidnap you. I wonder if he found someone to do it in the end.

[@njmoonfrost6145]

Maybe he got some alien to do it 😂 Anyway you okay? Did he bother you again?

Listening to this in bed and I had to bury my face in a pillow to stop myself waking up the whole house from laughing so loudly.

[@JohannaDeutschman]

I knew this was a super early on episode only because Griffin said "bitch"

[@yepimbatman]

Johanna It caught me so off guard

[@raqueld.6070]

wait I'm not really familiar with this podcast, why is that so surprising?

[@CpWiser10]

Raquel D. I'm not 100% certain but I believe its because 'bitch' is seen as a particularly sexist insult and the McElroys are very socially concise and unoffensive (nowadays).
