My Brother, My Brother And Me: MBMBaM 270: The Juice Will Flow

September 23, 2015 8:22 AM

Wake us up when September ends, y'all. We've gone done overbooked ourselves a bit, leading to the careful crafting of this dog-tired episode. It gets a bit bleak at times, but just keep on chewing. We'll get through this thing together! Suggested talking points: Teddy Bear Secrets, Vickypedia, Mr. Limpet, Trivial Loan Shark, Homemade Pokemon Gym, Coffee Quitters, Laser Ghosts

What it the MBMBAM shoutout in Hamilton.

That was a crazy episode. Were they referencing something with that insane (and hilarious) "The juice is flowing" bit or was that just exhaustion-induced weirdness?

What it the MBMBAM shoutout in Hamilton.

The "Unless... unless..." in the song where Hamilton decides to write the Reynolds Pamphlet. If only the brothers had been there for him. "Pack your bags and move away, A. Ham!"

I haven't heard it yet, but is it not a Dune reference
"Reference":["The #substance# must flow"],
"#substance#:["spice","juice"]

Amazingly, for brothers who spent a half hour making gom jabbar jokes recently, it is not a Dune reference. They're talking about vig.

maxsparber: "They're talking about vig."

Yeah, but were the creepy voices a specific reference, or just "Generic Loan Shark Voice"?

Hard to say. I think Griffin just tickled himself with that voice and so kept pushing it.

I'll have to listen to it to find out more!
But there's a new adventure zone (which always goes to the top of my podcast queue) to listen to first.

Thanks for the vig link, that's really interesting.

I was crying holding my laughs in on the subway at the juice bit. Definitely wouldn't recommend the episode for a first-timer but I didn't mind their exhaustion one bit.

My favorite thing about "the juice must flow" is that they were pretty much ready to give up on answering the question when Justin came back from the bathroom and started talking about "the juice."

I really hope that even for just a photo shoot, Griffin does his Pokemon Gym idea. Pretty sure Travis was actively trying to feed him with his suggestions of what type of Pokemon he should focus in (though I felt betrayed that Griffin never said what type he would go with).
