A thread for the Mcelroy Family of Products! I'm currently binging MBMBAM and was surprised we didn't already have a place to talk about these goof boys and the things that they do, so I battled my internet social anxiety to make one. What are y'all's favorite bits? I just finished episode 224, which contains the seed of what would later become Big Gulp, which is probably my favorite.
I love Munch Squad chiefly because of that time they got incredibly mad at "brunchfast." Let's see, I think Sawbones was actually the first McElroy product I listened to? And then eventually Monster Factory, and MBMBAM, and the Adventure Zone, and now... everything. Except Rose Buddies and some of Travis' podcasts. But I may start listening to Rose Buddies, SO.
Munch Squad is great too and I remember the anger over "brunchfast". I just started listening to Sawbones and... why didn't I before? It's exactly up my alley. Wanted to be a doctor for a long time, still retain a great love for medical stuff. Especially history. (Also I love how Dr. Sydnee gets really excited about things that I would also get really excited about, like scanning electron microscopy and whatnot.) I started with Monster Factory because of that one Tumblr post that was like "If you have a spare hour and a half please watch these videos" and had all of the Fallout 4 vids. Had no idea what I was getting myself into.
I listened to TAZ first, and then car boys and monster factory, and now I think I've passed some sort of event horizon and my future is nothing but a queue of mcelroy podcasts stretching to infinity.
definitely started with car boys, and then final pam happened now I'm 70 episodes into mbmbam and I will Never reach the end
I didn't actually start at the beginning of mbmbam, the amount of content was too intimidating. I started at around episode 170. I'll probably go back and listen to the ones I skipped at some point though, I'm too much of a completionist not to.
I started with TAZ, then Car Boys and some Monster Factory, then Sawbones, and then I tripped and fell down the slippery slope.
I started at the beginning of MBMBAM, got to like.. 137? Then my friend convinced me to listen to the recent ones, and now I'm going back from the most recent ones; I'm somewhere in the 200s now. I have no idea what I'll do when I run out. :P
The worst part is that they keep advertising other maxfun podcasts which sound really cool too. I really want to listen to oh no Ross and Kerry and song exploder but I know I will NEVER HAVE TIME
By the way, since I only mentioned it in a different thread before this one existed: Busto 2.0/The Final Pam otp. Hearts? Spades? Who knows
The Final Pam is in a weird poly red tangle with Trash Hulk and Metal Husband (Codsworth?) and possibly Roachie, so I'm leaning spades.
Two beings with that level of sheer chaotic power can never coexist peacefully in the same multiverse.
I ended up listening to Rosebuddies and I don't even watch the Bachelor. *hands* Griffin is just that adorkable, I guess. I've come to like the McElroy spouses as much as the boys at this point, and I'd love the hell out of a oneshot or whatever where Rachel, Sydney and Theresa play D&D or just talk about nothing for an hour.
I think i remember hearing about a pilot episode for a new podcast they were trying out called my sister my sister and me but i havent looked into it yet
Oh shit i just googled it, its not a pilot but a donors only episode. I wish i had money because i have a MIGHTY NEED
