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 lens. We’re so appreciative that James allowed us to cross-post the latest episode from last Friday on our feed. This past weekend, we all witnessed a horrific escalation of police violence against protestors and Black folks across the country. We encourage everyone to not only seek out and support Black creators, artists and voices, but to find ways to support folks on the ground, either through bail funds or by providing direct support to frontline protestors. Subscribe to Minority Korner: https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/minority-korner/ Find a local bail fund to support: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd Find more educational anti-racism resources: http://bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES

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.

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 little patchwork-y and disjointed. We’ll be back with a regular ep next week!

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. We all recorded this one together, and mostly spent it talking to our various family members, but also there are two impromptu musical numbers and a fierce competition of athletic prowess, so, yeah. Thank you all so much for sharing this past decade with us. You’ve changed our lives irrevocably, and there’s no way we’ll be able to repay that kindness in our lifetimes, so instead, we just ate a bunch of pasta and recorded it for you.

OKAY?Suggested talking points: No Ramp Up, Soda Bag, Paul’s Finest Grape Cake, Bee Purple, Fall Off The Bone Love, Halftime Korn, Poker Griefing

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.
