The Great Aunty Donna Debate

[@TheAuntyDonnaChannel]

Join Mark and Zach as they mass debate for 45 minutes.

[@quakerninja]

Civilization was built for moments like tonight.

[@smit1000]

This was a hard mass debate, I wonder who came first?

[@CaptainMarmoset]

A mass debate is fine and good for a young, healthy democracy.

[@jamesrowlands8971]

Little did we know, Zach was in fact the Mark you were referring to. Mark Latham.

[@Tabroski]

As you would, of course

[@timato234]

I just dont think Mark will ever shake those rumours that he's Italian

[@jamesrowlands8971]

Is that why Zac said Spaghetti Pie?

[@GreasyFried]

Is there any connection between his mom potentially being Italian to him potentially being Italian?

[@Potaters12]

If he just releases his birth certificate to the public he can put all those dirty rumors to rest.

[@PoliteAsFuck77]

It's his knobby knees and penchant for marinara

[@kefkaexdeath]

i thought he was sicilian

[@MrMattShirley]

Well moderated Broden, this type of moderation is key in being in power. You have my vote.

I cant put my finger on why, but watching this debate made me crave for a morning brown

God, he sounds like a perfect TV moderator. The pauses, the cadence, the generic statements. Wonderful.

[@Kiwi_In_Japan]

8:41 - Mark incriminating himself out of nowhere then running out of time to save himself or elaborate is hysterical

[@glassworktrophic8465]

You had me at season 2 of the Netflix show. I can't vote as I'm not a member of Aunty Donna but please understand that the results of this election do effect the rest of us.

[@createdforthemoment6740]

I dunno, season 3 is pretty good

[@amphlett7]

@@createdforthemoment6740 it would be great it they just made season 3 and then refused to elaborate on why there’s no season 2

[@timothymessier7690]

Abstaining to vote is a vote for the other guy. Vote.

[@shanegreen9511]

I voted for cowdoy twice

[@CrashSable]

If you're abstaining, they're both the other guy... You just want to force people to vote for your guy, completely defeating the purpose of a democracy Don't vote. You will never change a corrupt system from the inside. Make it change by stripping it's authority from the outside.

[@jamesrowlands8971]

Not voting is illegal in Aunty Donna.

[@ShapezPuller64]

I would, but both Mark and the lissom, long haired fellow have both been campaigning on a platform which has 'displaced' many Editors. None of which would have been possible without seemingly bottomless shipments of American sweet treats. To personally resolve yourself into choosing either at this point is simply unconscionable.

Mark has indeed never made a mistake in his entire life. Especially not while trying to speak. He just flies by the seed of his pants and nails it every time.

[@lifealchemy1218]

The seed 😂😂

I honestly think Silly Boy should run things. He knows exactly when someone is being silly, and that's exactly what makes a leader a good leader

Yeah but Silly Boy can’t tell when he’s being Silly himself so how can we trust him. My vote is for Jan de Bont.

I want this between frog man and silly boy on the podcast 😂

[@ireallydidntwanttomakeanac575]

I might vote for Broden. He's a nice guy. He's won awards. Her name was Tess. She wasn't moving.

[@darcy2037]

I haven't been able to support Mark since he said all those awful things about italian people

[@Matt.Hamilton]

Mark has not been 'stealing money', but rather saving it for Broden's Sweety Room. This is the kind of initiative held by a strong leader.

[@deimofobico]

44:42 not that much money!

I love that mark keeps saying he ends on time but goes over everytime 😂

Zach's hair sure does grow fast... Definitely not banking 'em

Please also ponder the following for Mark (the “John Lennon” of the group…. Mark’s the heart, the steady hand, With grounded humor, bold and grand. A face of warmth, a voice so clear, He’ll steer Auntie Donna without fear. Vote for Mark, both wise and true, He’ll lead the trio straight to new!

[@OvAeons]

All in all, Aunty Donna has been well, well lived in.

[@fieldtrippin1]

You guys are weird…..and I totally love it. Thanks for the laughs.

[@pygmaelion]

How quickly we forget, that only One Year Ago, both Broden and Zach repeatedly chose Top Right while Mark continuously suggested a more center stance during the Noughts and Crosses sketch. This entire election is a comedic faff, and no matter which way it goes, it'll be the biggest joke of the entire sketch.

[@yvonnetaco]

Great connection lol

[@minime9990]

Genius closing statement by zach, Mark also has great hair

[@lucykinsman32]

I would like to bring up the snack situation: under Zachs reign Mish Wittrup was underwhelmed with the snack collection. This was brought up in the leguizamarama podcast. The snacks were “so bad” that Michelle Wittrup farted and left the room empty handed. I just wanted to bring this to the table

[@spoddie]

6:00 and I'm very disappointed with Mark's attitude. Making personal attacks like this and going dirty is not what I expect from an Aunty Donna candidate. 12:00 OMG, Zach, the spaghetti pie line was COMPLETELY uncalled for!

[@BoogerDad]

After hearing both sides put the best of themselves forward and eloquently present their (what seems like) manifestos, it's become obvious to me that the most qualified person to lead Aunty Donna for the next 4 years is very clearly Broden. I mean, just look at how precise and organized he kept this debate. These candidates were at each others throats and he was able to wrangle them into at least somewhat coherently presenting their arguments. If that's not the mark of an incredible leader, then I don't even know what we're doing here.

[@edgarallennope]

I love the long moment of hesitation from Zach on wether or not to accuse Mark of embezzlement.

[@PeterVescro]

That bombshell at the end about Mark was a real October surprise!
