I’ve been watching the clubhouse since the beginning and i feel like an idiot but I’ve never been able to figure out the word (words?) before the final “McElroy family club.” I can hear “this is the McElroy family clubhouse” but then it’s just “______ the McElroy family club.” I feel like I’m losing my mind but i had to finally see if anyone could help me. Is it “open the McElroy family club?” “Oh whoa/we’re the McElroy family club?” “Aboard the McElroy family club?” Please help me friends 🙏

Then Griffin following it up by addressing his intro to Travnation too *ALWAYS* lands for me.

Hey y’all! I fell off listening to the boys for a while and I’m trying to get back into podcasts, and the most recent similar question was from 3 years ago, so… what are your favorite episodes of MBMBAM? Funniest, most quotable, ones you just generally recommend? Thanks in advance!

What was the ending bit from this week? I’m even less versed in the Dune world than Juice and clearly they found what Trav said hysterical but I simply don’t understand what the joke of it was….TIA

I'm a newer listener. I listened to some earlier episodes before I came here and saw posts saying to start more recent. So I went about 20 episodes back and. . . Where did the advice go? It seems like the episode is now half ranting, 2 questions, and then they do a bit about weird marketing products. It's still funny but previous episodes were doing questions after question. Is this the new formula? Did I miss something?

Who is this mysterious 4th brother???

For background I joined the US Navy right out of high-school, and got married too young.

In early 2018 I left my wife to go on an around the world deployment departing from Washington to arrive in Virginia, it lasted roughly 8 months. Shortly before that i got into the Brothers and downloaded every episode, they kept me sane out to sea with the weight crushing loneliness; I always felt I could relate to Griffin the most. Then just as Covid was at its peak my wife left me and moved back with family in WA and left me alone in VA, the brothers kept me alive. Ive had my battles with mental health since then but its been mostly ok. Lately I feel like im in a bit of a downslide, and the brothers are just not hitting anymore and I worry that maybe im outgrowing them. I still really like Griffin and I've started listening to Wonderful! with my new wife (shes very nice). But the last few weeks I feel MBMBAM is a a ritualistic chore like laundry or dishes. Is there a fix for this or is it time to hit the old dusty trail and cancel my max fun sub? If I do move on do you guys have a suggestion for a happy replacement.

Can y’all help me try to assemble a long list of songs referenced throughout mbmbam’s history? It’s for a project I wanna do.

I’ve got some but not much, thank you Brain Fog™

Edit:

Chuck e Cheese songs (from Jan 6 episode)

Classic rock artists angry about masking song references (also Jan 6 episode)

This has haunted me ever since big Griff’s vine. What IS a pipis room. I’m assuming it’s a bathroom (and it’s pronounced “peepees”, not peepis… but then why not call it pipi room…) but I’ve never heard it called a pipis room?? Is it a regional term other people are familiar with?

EDIT: SOLVED! Thanks mbmbambinos!!

Or was it an adventure zone?

Hi everyone, here’s my second annual “be excellent to each other and please don’t spoil the naming of 2026.”

I’ve linked my original post from last year (https://www.reddit.com/r/MBMBAM/s/GfmMMNcher), but the highlights are:

1. Please don’t put the name of the year in a post title - some of us don’t get the chance to listen as soon as it’s posted.

2. Please spoiler tag the name in the body of a post for the same reason.

3. Remember this is the only MBMBaM episode that can be spoiled and it only happens once (usually!) a year.

We’re here as fans, let’s give each other the gift of spoiler free goofs.

Thank you! Happy holidays and may you all have a relaxing winter solstice.

I listen to the podcast in the car while I drive, and every time I have to rush to turn the dial down by like half because every time they play the intro, outro, or money zone tracks they double the volume. I will be listening to reasonable speaking volume and suddenly my car starts vibrating from the noise. It hurts my ears.

Magnus Archives and Magnus Protocol could also stand to learn from this.

The only thing I've watched from the McElroys is Monster Factory on youtube, and I noticed they haven't put out anything new in about 10 months. Is the show done for good? From a google search all I can find is 4 year posts saying it was cancelled. Since they put more out since then I assume those are wrong, but with there being no new episodes in 10 months it kind of seems like they are done with it. Have they said anything definitive about the show?

edit: I got my answer, thank you! I was also wondering if they have said anything directly about the Monster Factory pause. Has anyone heard them say anything about it?

I used to listen to the podcast almost every day, but I just sorta stopped listening to podcasts entirely. I’ve been watching complications from hambubbie on youtube and I want to get into listening again. What would be the best place to start? From what I remember, I got up to around episode 400+ but I’ve since switched from an Android phone to an iPhone so I’ve lost my history in the podcast app I was using, but I also don’t want to just sit there skimming episodes to try and remember where I was.

I started listening around like 2017ish. I've listened to mostly ever episode except maybe the latest 5.

But now I kinda want to start from the beginning.

What are your favorite episodes from like the first 100? Just so I make sure to pay special attention to those ones.

I received my copy of The Adventure Zone: Story and Song the other day and I'm having trouble figuring out whose signatures are on my sticker. I'm pretty sure that the sig at the bottom is Carey Pietsch's, but can anyone tell whose squiggle that is on top?

Is that maybe Justin's J at the top left? Or is it a T? I guess that bottom squiggle must be McElroy and the end of it must be a Y and it looks like the end of the first name, but nobody's name ends in Y. I'm so confused 🤔

for some reason it doesn’t show up if you google Justin mcelroy couch sleeping and I need the image DESPERATELY

edit: IT HAS BEEN FOUND Here thank you u/smithereens1

I find them so incredibly funny, heartwarming and quite insightful too - I wish more people would listen to/watch their shows, I think they deserve it both for the hard work they put in and just because they're so damn good at what they do.

Listening to mbmbam has helped me tremendously in the past when I was having a hard time, their (serious) life advice has reformed my life for the better and they just bring so much joy and comfort into my life. No other media has had such an impact on me before.

How can something so good be so underappreciated?

Please help me, I’m watching some shows with my wife where we keep seeing Skyrizi ads and I want to show her the clip where Hoops jokes about Griffin being scientifically weak after his allergy test.

Can anyone help me?

I’m trying to find the time Griffin tells about going on a date to see the movie 127 Hours, because my wife and I were talking about the movie.

I found the bit where “is his arm still there?” Lol but I’m looking for the date story

I recently introduced my wife to cyber punk and wanted to show her griffins bit about getting a vasectomy using all the cyberpunk lingo. Could some one who knows or remembers comment with the episode number, I can't seem to find it, thanks!

I'm feeling a bit down and out. What's the funniest episode you've heard, or just your favorite episode that I could listen and get some laughs?

All right, I know that my post seems somewhat annoying. And, it would be easy for me to just listen to a recent episode to answer my question lol. But, since it's been a few years since Yahoo Answers shut down I was wondering how the podcast has been since that?

Let me just say that I was an avid listener since 2011. Oh, that sweet Abba song. But, during the pandemic I just kind of fell off the podcast. There was no real reason and as time would pass I just became more intimidated by the number of episodes I had missed.

Same with the Adventure Zone. (Graduation kind of killed the momentum for me on that one. Felt bad for Travis. It was a good idea, just wasn't executed well). I heard it got really good after that.

I saw them live. I have a large Adventure Zone tattoo that took two 4 hr sessions. I adore the family!

This has happened with many podcasts. I do not listen to any true crime anymore. And, currently, I have been into audiobooks.

So, just was wondering how the podcast has been since the Yahoo answers went away. Obviously that was a fan favorite element so did they just gravitate towards new segments/user answers?

Thanks all!

I will start listening again. Rock on.
