MBMBaM 692: The Naming of 2024

Never before have we faced such a challenge as this: coming up with a year name that rhymes with "four". It's so unusual that it even caused a shift in the brother energy, so now there's a new Justin and we sure hope he remembers his Mavis Beacon lessons.
Suggested talking points: Not Every Bridge Goes to Somewhere, Limited Totemic Energy, The MB in MBMBaM is Mavis Beacon, Painted with the Color of Paranoia

It would've felt kind of tone deaf to me, and a hardcore anti-capitalism message would've been difficult to make fun/silly. Fungalore is the PERFECT choice because he is completely removed from reality and yet something that can truly unite us.
