My Brother, My Brother And Me MBMBaM 799: A Regular Human Footballman
12 snips
Feb 2, 2026 Brothers trade snowbound survival plans and pickaxe paranoia in a running riff about buried fiber optics. They prank a murder-mystery with shipping ducks and debate airport massage chairs and shoeshine stands. A spoof press release fuels a long, absurd deep dive into smash-burger construction and marketing nonsense. They close with merch plugs, charity mentions, and a raucous musical sendoff.
