We're kicking off 20-Fixteen: Building Bridges by providing bespoke advice for some very specific groups of people: Former members of ska bands, grandma pill vendors, sleepyheads and the 12 slimy duplicates of Michael Jordan. All of you: You're welcome. Suggested talking points: Poppin', Shovel Courtesy, Beetlejuicier, Nap Genius, Barack Clonebama, Space Down

The brothers are back on a roll. Barack Clonebama was inspired.

If anyone here hasn't seen the MBMBAM Facebook fan group you should visit it immediately. Lin-Manuel Miranda has spent the last week openly trolling Griffin with Goldust-related stuff.

Are people going to start showing up at live events as Gold Dust?

Oh my god. Lin got Carly Rae Jepsen to record a video for Griffin but then deleted it.

Is Lin a semi-official brother now? It almost feels like it. I mean, the man put "Unless..." into his musical.

I saw the video in the ten-minute window before it got taken down, and now I feel like I witnessed some kind of rare and beautiful bird.

Do you think he had the CRJ video before he started posting the Gold Dust pics? The only thing that would have made it better was if CRJ said "Great job" in the way Griffin said it.

I assume he did, yeah... who knows.

I'm trying to explain this to my IRL friends who have only a vague inkling of what MBMBAM is and it's just impossible.

I've been having the same urge, but it's so inexplicable. I think my wife sort of got it when I told her.

My new favorite out-of-context MBMBAM quote: "If the Earth fucks another planet, we die."
