Fandom
editThe show's format mostly consists of Segura and Pazsitzky talking about and commenting on various videos and clips which are acquired throughYouTube,TikTok,fan submission, etc. Through this format, the hosts and the fans of the show commonly use quotes to create a lingo which is used throughout the podcast. Some common phrases from the show include: "high and tight", "cool guy", "cool guy club", "try it out", "good morning, Julia", "full throttle", and "ta ta there, retard". Along with these quotations, Pazsitzky and Segura occasionally refer to each other as "Jeans" which stemmed from calling each other "mommy" and "mom jeans", and they refer to fans of the show as "mommies" as a reference to the title of the show. It is common for fans of the show to use this lingo when referring to the show on social media.
Starting in 2019, fans of the show commonly posted comments on the Instagram page of singer/songwriterGarth Brooks,which was referred to as the "Garth Brooks Instagram Takeover", leading to a restriction of Segura's comments on Garth's Instagram page.[13]The comments used the lingo of the show and commonly asked Brooks questions about where he was keeping the bodies. This line of questioning originated from Segura jokingly calling the singer "insane" and a "serial killer" in numerous episodes.[14]
During a 2022 episode of2 Bears 1 Cavewith guest hostJoe Rogan,Segura made jokes at the expense ofErie, Pennsylvania.[15]Erie weatherman David Wolter made jokes regarding Segura not being in the top 100 sexiest bald men awards on a local news show, resulting in fans targeting Wolter's social media. Segura challenged Wolter to a one-on-one game of basketball, which Wolter accepted. Segura won this match resulting in Wolter having to release an apology video to Segura. Segura also made a donation to a charitable foundation of Wolter's selection, and encouraged others to do so.
Most episodes feature original music from fans that often incorporate samples from the videos played on the show.
