Live from Podcon 2, it's half an episode of MBMBaM! And then half an episode of non-live MBMBaM, just to give you a well-rounded hour-long podcast listening experience! Get It! Apple Time!

Haven't finished this yet but feels like a real weird vibe. Not bad, just muted compared to a lot of their live shows.

I admit, I was 100% with Justin in misunderstanding the meaning of "Floss."

I kinda felt that too. It makes sense to me though - most of their live shows are specifically MBMBAM events, but this one was part of a bigger event, so the proportion of huge MBMBAMheads to casual MBMBAM listeners to people who are only vaguely familiar with MBMBAM was probably way different.

Also, they were sober.

I enjoyed the escape room FIGHT MAN, USE CLUE ON MAN, OPEN DOOR, GO WEST diversion.

The weird taped segment at the end was super funny though.

I laughed real loud when Travis was like "Can we make a vape that to my cat tastes like killing a mouse, and to my cat tastes like the sense of satisfaction I feel when she catches a mouse?" I was like Damn Travis that's so deep, and then the two of them were like Holy Shit Travis. The thing that makes me laugh is when they say the same thing I'm thinking.

Yeah, not sure what was up with that live event. It seemed really over edited and tripped all my Something Is Off Vibes.

What I'm seeing from reports throughout the MBMBAM-verse is that, at this show:
--Seats were not numbered, so they couldn't screen questions ahead of time.
--A lot of the live questions were lame. People trying to be funny or cute. One person, apparently, simply asked whether there are any updates about the Mickey Mouse mailbox.

I wonder if now in the future they just won't do audience questions if they can't screen them. Not screening them has been proven not to work by now I think. It's like people get it mixed up with Jordan Jesse Go's "Momentus Occasions" bit. Maybe they should just do that instead of questions at live shows, since that's really what people want to do apparently.
