This show had me busting a gut. Also that theme song has been stuck in my head for months. I LOVE IT. Hilarious, well-written, brilliantly produced, and for a great cause. It is, in fact, the best brisket.
Bring the meat!
Maintaining such a wacky, carefree tone with heaving sides of humor may seem easy, but it really isn't. And yet MMB makes it seem easy. Just a pure delight, through and through. It makes you feel good listening to it, which is perfect because as a charity event, you feel even better helping out for the cause. I'm so happy this exists.
A delicious delight!
A truly wonderful, whimsical podcast with a killer cast and an amazing cause. Can’t wait to see what they cook up next!
