MBMBaM 140: Hops for Pops

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.

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

A BIG chunk.Suggested talking points: Scoob Fever, Choice Bee Cuts, Mono Lisa, Powerful Tiger Blankets, Swordproof Hippo, 3rd Grade Plagiarism

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 one of these things. (Feat.
