27 Best Episodes of MBMBaM: UPDATED for 2022

My Brother, My Brother and Me is a comedy advice show for the modern era that features very little advice. Hosted by real-life brothers Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy, they offer ‘wisdom’ to listeners who submit questions, as well as answer anonymous posts from Yahoo! Answers.Look, MBMBaM is a really popular podcast. It’s been on for 12 years and has more than 600 episodes. All three brothers do other podcasts and between them, there are over 14 different shows. With such an established and prolific show, it’s hard to know how to get into it.Once upon a time, Bradley Davis, Podchaser CEO and ultra snob, refused to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me, which is my favorite podcast. In an effort to convert him, I curated the best of the best and sent him a list of top episodes to listen to if you want to fall in love with MBMBaM. And readers, it worked.Here is an updated version of the list I made for Bradley in hopes that you too will find joy in the McElroys’ big bag of goofs.

    A decision for the ages arrives with little fanfare. A benign Yahoo Answer spawns a flashpoint that will divide and define a generation. The bath is now soup; this much is unavoidable.

    We finally did it, folks! All the pop culture reboots from 20 years ago we never really wanted are finally coming into being!

    So, before setting any expectations based on the title of the episode, know this: Ten years later, our bodies respond to spaghetti-loading SUPER differently. We all recorded this one together, and mostly spent it talking to our various family members, but also there are two impromptu musical numbers and a fierce compet...

    Look, the title ain’t lying, and you’d have no way of proving it if it were. One of us has seen every bird, full stop. We’re the new high score on the birdwatcher leaderboard, and who’s gonna argue against that? The birds? Probably not the birds. Suggested talking points: Spookily, Raccoon Trash Strats (feat.

    We have been smashed to pieces by our recent viewing of Hobbs and Shaw, which may explain the somewhat punch-drunk nature of today’s episode. It’s also possible we’ve been sprayed with some kind of Jason Statham neurotoxin. In either case: Enjoy! Suggested talking points: 5DXXX, Neighbor Lube, Buying Money, Potential G...

    For reasons beyond our understanding, we were able to have Jimmy Buffett on this episode of My Brother, My Brother and Me.
