01.25.2021 MBMBaM 545: Blood is Thicker than the Bun Even for us, this episode contains a lot of fast food discussion. Who’s got the good salad? What’s the casualty count in the chicken sandwich wars? Most importantly: How does one turn an abandoned Taco Bell into a loving home? ...
01.18.2021 MBMBaM 544: Quantum Cheez-Its We realize it’s going to be a while before we’re all out and about, attending hip dinner parties with our fashionable pals. Still, it’s always good to refresh yourself on basic party etiquette, like how to provide a Cheez-It experience ...
01.13.2021 MBMBaM 543: Charles Equality Cheese Oh my god what a week. But we're here to sooth your spirits by finding out what national pizza chains have been tweeting about, and also to figure out for ourselves what mood we're going for. Suggested talking points: Ted ...
01.04.2021 MBMBaM 542: The Naming of 2021 You were warned that this would be the contents of this episode, and we ALWAYS follow through on our threats. Join us as we choose a mantra and a direction for the new calendar year, and then at the last ...
12.28.2020 MBMBaM 541: Angels in the Ragnarok So long, stink year! While we’re not quite ready to provide a sagacious tagline for 2021, we’re more than ready to send off this one with a thorough look back. And also a look forward, and kind of to the ...
12.21.2020 MBMBaM 540: Bubblestar Metallica It’s Candlenights, we think! We already did ONE Candlenights spectacular for you, but because y’all have been extra good this year, here’s another one! I mean, it’s maybe not “spectacular” as much as it is a regular episode without cussing, ...
12.14.2020 MBMBaM 539: Quantum Beef When is beef considered beef and also not beef? To answer that, it’s important you possess a cursory understanding of the many-worlds theory and quantum entanglement — things that we, three super smart guys, totally know about. Now, let’s BURY ...
12.08.2020 MBMBaM 538: Shoegaze Mopeytones This week’s episode is chock-full of breaking news alerts, most of which send us spiraling hornily into homemade Home Improvement erotic fiction. I swear to God I’ve written this exact description for an episode before. What is wrong with us? ...
11.30.2020 MBMBaM 537: Bros Better, Bros Best, Ch. 134 - 152 We weren’t able to record last week, so we dipped back into the Best Of well for the first time in a few years. Hop on in the Time Boat and join us as we travel back to a MUCH ...
11.24.2020 MBMBaM 536: Ratashootie I guess we’re on that Christmas Creep? I dunno, seems early to us, but we don’t really have much control over the timing. Suggested talking points: Ebeneezer Christmas, Mail Soup, Mrs. Claus, Whoopsie Cheese, Bookervision, Bite Whales, Delicious Drugs Bars ...
11.16.2020 MBMBaM 535: Ethical Joker Termination Boy howdy, we sure hope nobody listening to this episode is a Joker sympathizer. This bad villain keeps messing up EVERYBODY’s stuff in the big city, especially Bruce Wayne — who is Batman! Too bad there’s no way to destroy ...
11.09.2020 MBMBaM 534: The Hang-in-There Burger We’ve all been through the wringer these past couple of weeks, but don’t worry! We have a burger, now, that’s gonna fix EVERYTHING. Take a bite, savor its complex flavor profile, and allow its powerful beef juices to do their ...
10.27.2020 MBMBaM 533: Butterbobs n’ Batteries We won’t be posting a new episode next week, so you know what that means: It’s Bolitics Time! Snatch up a couple crates o’ Party Bagels and let’s get into the HEAVY stuff! Suggested talking points: Bresident Butt Strike, 2nd ...
10.19.2020 MBMBaM 532: The Spooky Box Due to some goofed-up settings on account of us recording an audiobook this week, Justin’s coming at you with some rich, booming ASMR-quality sound. Which, really, should only be a problem if he performs an extended, 15-minute-long Dracula impression. We ...
10.12.2020 MBMBaM 531: Mighty Morphin’ Grown-Up Power Rangers Not now, Zordon. Christ, every time you come around here, we’re supposed to drop everything and mount up? Like, we know Rita Repulsa and her gooey guys are causing trouble, but we’ve got a PTA meeting this afternoon that we ...
10.05.2020 MBMBaM 530: Boat Beauties This one’s all boats and teeth, y’all. A lot of boat talk, a lot of cruising the high seas on our Yatch in search of adventure. A lot of teeth chat, specifically about our audience’s artistic dental desires. Boats and ...
09.29.2020 MBMBaM 529: Throw Me In the Dumpster Behind the Applebees When I Die We’re having trouble getting in the spirit of the most spooky holiday, mostly because of how spooky every other thing in the entire world is right now. Join us as we down a few Red Lobster bevs and battle the ...

09.07.2020 MBMBaM 526: Why Not a Wizard? Please, please let us do wrestling. Does anyone know anyone who’s doing wrestling that we could Skype with? We have really, really good wrestling ideas, most of which are based around telekinesis and fantastical incantations. Suggested talking points: Balloon Man, ...
09.01.2020 MBMBaM 525: Problems Related to Me Falling Down the Stairs This is a big one! Partially because we ask for aid from our Trolls co-star Ron Funches for a question, but also because Justin confesses to fraud, we think? We’re not lawyers, but it sure smells fraudulent. Suggested talking points: ...
08.25.2020 MBMBaM 524: Teen Beans We’re plugged in, okay? Obviously. Like, when young folks see us, they know we know what’s up. We’re cooking beans over roaring campfires like, every weekend, so please don’t pretend that we’re not. Suggested talking points: The Jokering, The NCIS ...
08.17.2020 MBMBaM 523: Dad’s Fat Trash Sack Even after all these years, we’re still learning about each other’s little, adorable idiosyncrasies. Take, for instance, Justin, who has big boy trash bag dead drops all around his house, for some reason? Like he’s the Trash King, we guess? ...
08.11.2020 MBMBaM 522: The Open and Honest Heart of a Child’s Eyes In today’s episode, Justin goes on a righteous and important quest to claim the Birdman’s special burrito, but instead ends up claiming nothing but heart-rending shame. It’s a TOUGH LISTEN. Suggested talking points: Big Eyes Watch, Under the Table and ...
08.03.2020 MBMBaM 521: Ah, The Soup Mess It’s the final week of the MaxFunDrive, so we’ve pulled out all the stops! By which we mean, we talked about Olive Garden, again, for like twenty minutes. Suggested talking points: Old Bill, College Shirt, Toilet Book, Liquid Benefits, Olive ...
07.28.2020 MBMBaM 520: Genuine Clean Fauciballs Look, the title’s challenging, okay? We get it. It’s probably not what you’re thinking it’s about, because we’re talking about athletic balls. Maybe that is what you were thinking about? Are we the problem? Yeah, actually, that sounds about right. ...
07.20.2020 MBMBaM 519: The Grandma Tesseract The stakes are awfully high this episode, both for the continuation of our podcasting empire and also for the many cigar-laden orphans Travis has taken under his wing. Did we mention the MaxFunDrive is on, by the way? No presh. ...
07.13.2020 MBMBaM 518: Pepperoni and Vicki We’re kicking off our long-delayed, fully-casual MaxFunDrive with today’s episode, and celebrating the occasion by firing an enormous cloud of mechanical space debris toward the unsuspecting surface of our Earth. That’ll teach ‘em! Consider becoming a supporter of our show: ...
07.06.2020 MBMBaM 517: Pepperoni Prescription In this one, we all take turns being the bad boy! But it’s just for fun — please do not get worried that it’s a permanent thing. It’s one of our skits that we do! None of it is real! ...
06.29.2020 MBMBaM 516: Radical Gamer Facts In which Travis weaponizes his worst segment with unprecedented menace, and also we ask Lin-Manuel Miranda how he would murder Super Mario, which does not seem like a great use of his time, now that we write it out like ...
06.22.2020 MBMBaM 515: Viscous Bod In today’s episode, we inexplicably relitigate the film Titanic, which is a million years old, and come up with a way cooler ending where the ship doesn’t break and the cool guy gets the treasure and everyone gets married. (Feat. ...
06.15.2020 MBMBaM 514: Kickeo How much money would it cost to get celebrity Dave Bautista to come to your neighbor’s house and absolutely kick it the hell apart? Less than you might think! Suggested talking points: McElroy Masterclass, Cameo Conundrum, Looking a Gift Lawn ...
06.08.2020 MBMBaM 513: Mother Cruncher In which we make an unprecedented mid-year swap-eroonie, and then do our due diligence to inform the federal government about the change. We THINK we got our message through, but there’s no way to know for sure. Suggested talking points: ...
06.01.2020 Feed Drop: Minority Korner Hey everyone! We don’t have a new MBMBaM for you today — instead, we’re doing a feed drop of Minority Korner. It’s a fantastic show on the Maximum Fun network that’s all about discussing culture and news through an intersectional ...
05.25.2020 MBMBaM 512: The Jabberjaw Affair When observing this episode from the future, it should serve as a pretty good benchmark for where we’re at, mentally speaking, mid-quarantine. Y’all, we spend a CHUNK of time talking about a cool blanket we had growing up. A BIG ...
05.18.2020 MBMBaM 511: A Big, Beautiful Buick Enclave We cordially invite you to go for a ride with us in Justin’s large, lovely Buick on a one-way trip to Jokesburg! (Provided you’ve wiped your feet, of course. Actually, just lose the shoes entirely. Are those CORN CHIPS? Are ...
05.11.2020 MBMBaM 510: Killer Car Wash Perhaps it’s the months of seclusion that has given us this macabre fascination, but in today’s episode, we debate, at length, the lethal capabilities of an automated car wash. Our conclusion: It’s probably not a great idea to walk into ...
05.04.2020 MBMBaM 509: The Grind Butler (Or: Grutler) At some point in all our lives, it’s happened to all of us: You’re enjoying a nice grind, but gosh! Where are you supposed to put your pocket-based belongings? Introducing: Grutler. (TM TM TM.) Suggested talking points: A Sampler Platter ...
04.27.2020 MBMBaM 508: Face 2 Face: The Pepsi Proposal Hey, this is a weird one! For one thing, it’s a live show, which is a strange thing to listen to. For another thing, it’s a selection of bits from two different performances aboard the JoCo Cruise, so it’s a ...
04.20.2020 MBMBaM 507: Dirtiest Dancing: Havana Nights If we’re gonna make it through this things, we’re gonna have to find genuine soul connections using Digital.

04.13.2020 MBMBaM 506: The Enchanted Horn of American Heroism Okay, we know we just had a non-standard 500th episode celebration, but as luck would have it, THIS episode also marks 10 years of us in the podcastin’ business. So, yes, Justin sings the song again. (Also, we’ve got new ...
04.06.2020 MBMBaM 505: Slippery When Voltron In today’s episode, we set a new record for Lack of Commitment to an Opening Bit — a record whose previous holders include … let’s see here … oh, it’s us! The list just says us, like, fifty times. Suggested ...
04.01.2020 FEED DROP - The Besties Play Animal Crossing: New Horizons! This isn't an episode of MBMBaM, but hey! Every living human being on Earth is talking about this game, so we decided to toss our Besties discussion here on the MBMBaM feed! (Don't fret -- this isn't taking the place ...
03.30.2020 MBMBaM 504: The Nasty Buns In which we find a hero in these trying times: A hero with a cybernetic, socially-conscious snake and a land speed rivaling a mid-2010s Toyota Corolla. Suggested talking points: Look to Britney, Porch-Stable Food, Angel Babysitter, In My Lungs, Unfortunate ...
03.24.2020 MBMBaM 503: How to Get Away with Pinkbelly Listen, y’all. There’s only one way that we’re getting through this thing, and I think we all know exactly what way I’m talking about. It is imperative, now more than ever, that we get Richard Gere to be a top-tier ...
03.16.2020 MBMBaM 502: American Psycho 2: The Squeakquel (Note: This was going to be our kick-off episode for the MaxFunDrive, which has been postponed. We've cut most of the drive-talk out of the episode -- hence the shorter-than-usual runtime and occasional pauses. Hang in there, y'all.) Join us ...

03.02.2020 MBMBaM 500: Spaghettageddon Two: 2 Saucy, 2 Carbious So, before setting any expectations based on the title of the episode, know this: Ten years later, our bodies respond to spaghetti-loading SUPER differently.

02.24.2020 MBMBaM 499: Right Down the Middle THIS IS A NORMAL EPISODE. Please do not come into this one thinking we’re doing some kind of pre-500 celebration, or something. It’s NORMAL. There is NOTHING that sets it apart from all the other episodes. OKAY? Suggested talking points: ...
02.17.2020 MBMBaM 498: Single Sleeved Sweater The energy in this one … is difficult to describe. Was it a result of us recording back-to-back episodes during a busy pre-travel prep session? Yes. Was it also the result of a soft and extremely haunted homunculus that now ...
