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.

  1. 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. What you do with this revelation is entirely in your hands.

  3. We always thought that episode 420 would be about the funny weed number. Instead, we're using it to mark 4/20, the date we say goodbye to Yahoo! Answers, a bad website that we will miss very much.Support AAPI communities and those affected by a

  5. It’s about to get real loud in here. Loud with FLAVOR. We’re talking sweet, salty, fat, acid, paprika, cheez-its, tarchup, and wasabioli. Suggested talking points: Holistic Hog Time, Reverse Johnny Appleseed, Who Washes the Dishwasher?, Sticky
  6. We’ve finally made it! We got nominated for an award for our amazing ad reads. We always knew this show would be recognized for something, and it’s as a parking space for our sponsors. Suggested talking points: The Pie That Did the Mess that Br
  7. We’re making an effort to make this show normal again, which means more sportball talk? Is that right? In any case, we’ve also brought on guestpert Ify Nwadiwe and his unique expertise to scrutinize Taco Bell morning beverage offerings and sung
  8. 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 m

  10. You’re gonna have some questions after the new segment in today’s episode. Only one man has the answers. His name is Travis, and also when we said he has the answers, that’s actually not gonna be true a lot of the time. Suggested talking points

  11. It has arrived. Our annual opportunity to place a steady hand upon the rudder of the new year is here, and boy howdy, it’s a big one. Twenty-Twenty?! It’s the same thing twice! Is that anything? Please? We’re spiraling. Suggested talking points

  12. 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 bird

  13. 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: Enjo

  14. This episode features some of the narrowest narrow-casting yet recorded in human history, which is to say: If you’ve got a science report about Birds due at school tomorrow morning, we’ve absolutely got you on this one. Suggested talking points

  20. For reasons beyond our understanding, we were able to have Jimmy Buffett on this episode of My Brother, My Brother and Me. Jimmy Buffett looked at all the opportunities available to him, the real Jimmy Buffett, and decided that a good expenditu

  23. So, look. Here's the thing. We prepped all our questions for this episode, but about 10 minutes in, we realized that we just weren't going to do them. So, in this bizarre installment of MBMBaM, we share advice that we wish we could have given o

  24. This episode is all about the stuff that gets folks' noodle going. It's one of our most thematically consistent episodes yet, which is a shame. A quarter of it was spent talking about a movie that came out in 2015. Cool! Suggested talking point

  27. We're back! And better than ever! Arguably. Well, okay; we're batting about average. Well, maybe Justin's a little rusty, and Griffin's a bit down, and maybe Travis recorded using an old-timey gramophone. But still - we're back!Suggested talk
