Simply the Guests | MBMBaM Video Clips

[@Mijal15]

The fact that Griffin guessed Randy Quaid so early is incredible. The fact Justin stone-faced and didnt give away how close it was is, I think, a miracle.

[@charliecrossing]

ESPECIALLY given Juice's track record melting down during Minions Quotes reveals

[@MickySarge]

Right?! I was so expecting Justin to flinch just a tiny bit, but his poker face was immaculate

[@grandmasgopnik9642]

I can’t get over the Dennissance. That fucked me right up.

[@kingsbury96]

i literally thought they edited out his reaction at first because i didn’t believe he could be so smooth

[@FlowersForVax]

As european I've never been this entertained by listening to the names of celebrities I don't know for five minutes

[@jilljmj]

I’m American and, for the most part, same 😂

[@MisterSynyster]

These are pretty random picks, ngl

[@BucklingSwashes]

This immediately became one of my favorites of Justin's games once it aired, and the fact that this podcast not only exists but that Griffin guesses so close so early in the process is really impressive.

[@Yammenkow]

For real. Man literally said "who is Randy Quaid adjacent". Doesn't get much more adjacent than that...

[@Smell-O-Vision-Citrus]

I'm still waiting for a continuation of "That's a Christmas to me"

[@Yammenkow]

@@Smell-O-Vision-Citrus me too. It was my favourite segment of them all and it has been so long 😔

[@AvisSapiens]

I'm not gonna lie. When i listened to the Audio version i fully thought Juice pre-recorded the segment intro cause it just sounded so good and so clean. No way he could have done that live. But damn, He truly is the modern renaissance man. (Edit: Dennissance Man)

[@CmakesP]

[@CaymenLeP]

not only did he nail the last name Quaid, but hit a 360 no-scope ladder-shot with the name of the podcast. Absolutely insane performance from Griffin.

[@lpqlbdllbdlpql]

it's edited, in the episode they say Dennis Office like 3 times and some other ones

[@afimcr28]

@@lpqlbdllbdlpql 3 might even be underselling it lmao

[@d0onut]

Actually its more hilarious that he said "Who is Randy Quaid adjacent" and Travis had to guess the right answer LMAO

[@RyanSpargo]

Boys, I gotta say, this might be the perfect example of a great bit game. The premise is simple; the theme slaps, natch; the total reveal is comedy gold; and the approach to that reveal has layers and steps. Also, I agree with Justin. Randy's the host? No go. But Dennis hosts? Gotta have a long talk about it.

[@GuitarSlayer136]

Even though I see no dependant clauses I still can't help but feel you've abused the semicolon.

[@RyanSpargo]

@@GuitarSlayer136 the comma before "natch" isn't a listed item, which led me to use the semicolon in the list. Parentheses would have done the job better, in hindsight.

[@mykabre666]

the cool dad energy radiating off of juice lately is fucking radical

[@BradGreer]

Griffin musing "who is Randy Quaid adjacent?" is just magnificent. And Justin still holds the line with that undersell of "you're not in the wilderness"!

[@MrTrigston]

"It's called Simply The Guests." "Good." "OK."

[@teganr5665]

I dearly hope Justin can cook up another one of these segments for a future episode. It doesn't even have to be as good as this, I just want the song again!

[@teganr5665]

Came back nine months later to listen to the song again. lol Justin's delivery is just so powerful.

[@XanBcoo]

I admire Justin's intense trust in his brothers to guess both the host and name of the podcast in question. Incredible.

[@BaiNaiMai]

Juice had SUCH a good poker face here

[@GemA2Gen]

I'm gonna hate typing this but justin really put his whole mclerussy into singing that segment theme and I applaud him for that

[@octoberspirit]

That was incredible to read.

[@aeidla]

he commits to the bit no one can say he does not

[@ozkey1558]

😂😂😂 that can't have been easy for you, but you powered through & you did write it, and I applaud you for that

[@cariswilliams5808]

That took me a bit of a moment to read. Thank you and how dare you create this word and bring it to my brain.

[@xatlern]

Absolutely cursed but extremely correct.

[@jchenier1903]

The Dennissance really does slap as a Podcast title. Now Dennis and Randy and Jack all need to get together and start one called Quaidludes

[@bennyfactor]

Hoops' camera is straight up and down relative to his head but everything else is at a dutch angle so my question is... is Justin the MBMBaM villain?

[@wonkothesane13]

just wanted to say I recognize your pfp, glad to see another CotF that is also a McElroy fan out in the wild

[@HGR555]

Wouldn't that make Griff and Travis the villains?

Right it’s so uncanny

[@Sleepfrog]

This bit is so so good, but even more so when you can see their faces. Griffin's and Travis' expressions as more guests are revealed REALLY make it 😂

[@abj6920]

I had no idea he sung the theme song live, makes it way better that it wasn't a recording

[@MichaelStephenFreitag]

This is a very good bit! I was not even CLOSE to correct, but it was delightful watching Griffin get so impressively close and set up Travis for the spike

[@akareject]

In a show that has some of the greatest bits in all of podcasting history, this one was a surprise banger straight out the gate into the top ten all time. I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess along with the beautiful brothers. Hope this one returns a lot!

[@DaemonInWhite]

The little intro was delightful 😂

[@swordmother]

the way that these West Virginia boys are saying Dennis is truly delightful. Dinnis

[@frankmudd5105]

Hearing Griffin shout Randy causes me to hearken back to simpler times.

[@HighSchoolReality]

Juice I’ve always known you’ve got a great voice but this really sells it, replayed the intro like 5 times

[@analoren4745]

the commitment this man makes to his bits. Simply stunning.

[@sidhackney8831]

Damn Griffin got extremely close with no hints and not even the full list of guests!

[@Jeevesie1988]

I have a confession. I have listened to 660+ episodes of MBMBaM and I still have NO idea who Randy Quaid is. I assume some relation of Dennis, who I think I have seen in... one movie? Like, twenty years ago??

[@134darklight]

I just Googled him myself! He's the dad in The Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap, The Day After Tomorrow, The Rookie, Yours Mine & Ours, Soul Surfer, I Can Only Imagine (just to name a few)

[@Jeevesie1988]

@@134darklight Oh dunk, I loved The Day After Tomorrow and had no clue that was him, haha!

[@Yammenkow]

He's Dennis's brother and the burnout pilot/dad in Independence Day. Also plays the homophobic old guy who hires the two main guys in Brokeback Mountain.

[@MisterSynyster]

He's mostly known for being a nutcase political dude who thinks secret cabals are trying to murder celebrities like him... But also he's the crazy guy who flies a plane into an alien ship at the end of Independence Day

[@fauxrowsdower7610]

his most recent role was in The Substance as the grossest man alive! please watch The Substance i promise you’ll only throw up once or twice

[@elbiggamehunter]

I want more Simply The Guests so dang bad. This was the best new segment introduced since The Munch Squad.

[@bassetts1899]

Me having no idea who Randy or Dennis Quaid are but still enjoying this bit: "I know who Billy Rae Cyrus is!" Edit: I looked it up, Dennis Quaid is the dad from the parent trap. okay

[@bookshelfhoney]

I guessed Miley Cyrus because I felt like having your dad be your first guest would make sense

The way Travis says “And Christ” is so funny

[@jobrown95]

In the same year Randy Quaid played both a Navy sailor traveling up the East Coast to go to military prison and a country bumpkin who wrestles Ryan O’Neal barefoot in order to keep his own truck. “Conservative eccentric” has always been his energy.

[@Absolute2ero]

The way he rhymed guest with guest 3 times

[@abj6920]

Very happy to see that I made the same expressions Griffin did about some of the celebs

[@iantkach6640]

Griffin's reaction to "Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy" is *perfect*.

[@M3GAMAN100]

god this bit was so good

[@LtTurtle13]

Dennissance is very good. My first guess, though, was Dennis Quaidio (like radio). Visually, the word is a nightmare, but it sounds good. Also, I have to assume Dennis doesn't really know the difference between podcasts and actual radio.
