We want you to come inside of our home — the one we all actually share together — to meet our new, government-mandated bird friends.

It happened. Well, a few things happened. One, we did a show in Orlando to make up for the time we had to cancel a show earlier this year. Two, in said show, Justin finally crossed the streams of his two wildly popular segments. Three, capitalism got the shot in the arm it’s needed for some time now. You’re welcome, everyone!

MBMBaM 481: I Have Seen Every Bird

Look, the title ain’t lying, and you’d have no way of proving it if it were. One of us has seen every bird, full stop.

John Hodgman), Dickbilled Priebus, Freakied and Fridayed, Ammunition for the Soda Wars

MBMBaM 480: Everlasting Stringburger

There’s only one surprisingly proportioned beef sandwich capable of stitching up the wide wounds carved across human civilization; and we’re the ones to invent it. (Not cook it, mind you.

MBMBaM 479: Face 2 Face: A Spectral, Horny Build-A-Bear

This live show, from our recent tour stop in Pittsburgh, will probably go down in history as “the one where we unknowingly distributed 100 KFC Doughnut Chicken Sandwiches to our audience, who, for some reason did not instantly turn against us.” We like to think of it … well, we don’t like to think of it. We did an unconscionable thing to you, our dear, dear listeners.

MBMBaM 477: Crash Bandicoot’s Wallet Chain

We’re returning from a big, wild family vacation, and so we present to you our big, wild live show from Atlanta! We performed it last weekend, back when we were SO jacked up on Coca-Cola that a beam of brown, carbonated energy shot out of our chest and blew a hole in the ceiling. You probably read about it in the newspapers.

MBMBaM 475: Edchup

MBMBaM 472: Public Domain LASIK Voicemails

We have been smashed to pieces by our recent viewing of Hobbs and Shaw, which may explain the somewhat punch-drunk nature of today’s episode. It’s also possible we’ve been sprayed with some kind of Jason Statham neurotoxin. In either case: Enjoy! Suggested talking points: 5DXXX, Neighbor Lube, Buying Money, Potential Golf Family, Secret Chicken Debut, Chinning, Fun Facts

Aug 12, 20191 hr 1 minEp. 472

MBMBaM 471: Face 2 Face: The Fraternity of Bones

We spent pretty much all of last week on Island Time, which means we didn’t have time to record our japes and post them online for you, our dear friends. Instead, please enjoy this VILE episode that we did in Cleveland, a city that we ruined, with our filth.

MBMBaM 470: Mama Freddy’s Turbo Spaghetti

In today’s episode, we stumble upon a new motto, a new personal mantra to guide us into the new Roarin’ 20s — but, unfortunately, it has a cuss in it.

Jul 22, 20191 hr 12 minEp. 469

MBMBaM 468: Down the Soda Hole
