        They're pretty funny, though it feels like they're massive libs. They don't talk about politics, but that's the vibe I get.

          From one of the episodes around the election they mentioned voting several times in that special little way only RGB portrait carrying libs do. At least they usually don't mention politics any other time but that episode had big :vote: vibes

          Justin's wife, Dr. Sydnee McElroy, hosts a different podcast with him on the same network called Sawbones. She's been dipping her toes into politics ever since COVID-19 became A Thing, and did a really great episode a few months ago about how the Black Panthers were fucking rad. I wouldn't say that they're necessarily radicalizing, but they're definitely travelling down the lib-to-leftist pipeline.

        Fwiw, I think they’re hilarious. I agree with the other comments that whenever politics do come up they seem super-lib. Maybe not ideologically committed to liberalism but more people who have been born into it and never looked for an alternative. Strikes me as getting most of their political opinions from some combo of MSM and Twitter. Low-information libs-by-default (this is about 100% projection, btw. When I first started listening to MBMBAM about six years ago all those things described me and so now I assume it of them. Maybe they’re actually psychos grounded in political theory who read The Economist and agree with it, I don’t know. I get all my political opinions from my ongoing study of history, political theory, and current events violent leftist memes nowadays)

        Anyway, they’re just a goofy comedy podcast. It’s just three brothers goofing around and laughing at each other for an hour. As someone who tends to like dark and cynical entertainment, I will occasionally follow something that is just fundamentally nice and MBMBAM is one of the most genuinely wholesome things I’ve come across.
