History Podcast / MyBrotherMyBrotherAndMe

Besides that, the brothers also do a yearly side podcast with Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery of ''Podcast/TheWorstIdeaOfAllTime'' fame, called ''[[https://blart.libsyn.com/ To Death Do Us Blart]]''. The premise is somewhat similar to that of ''Worst Idea'': watch and review ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop 2'' on every American Thanksgiving until the end of time.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Occasional episodes will not just add a little variable but change the formula so much that the ''brothers'' are out of their element. The biggest example is probably episode 400, where Music/JimmyBuffett invites them to the red carpet premiere of ''Escape to Margaritaville''...as media. The brothers spend their time at the event desperately struggling with their social anxiety, asking celebrities stupid questions like "What's the scariest sea creature?", and wondering whether Buffett's invitation was a friendly gesture or [[{{Troll}} deliberate torture]].
-->'''Justin''' I'm in hell. This is hell.\\
'''Griffin''' We've got to stop saying "this is hell" when we interview people.
** Episode 528 became entirely dedicated to the movie ''The War With Grandpa'', a Creator/RobertDeNiro film that had the audacity to release only in theatres during the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic. What started off as just a "watch" segment soon spiralled out of control as the brother vacillated between mocking, praising, and attempting to reenact the film without having ever seen it. ''No questions were answered''.

* RealityEnsues: While imagining scenarios to answer a Yahoo about how one should describe a non-human character in a book taking five blades out of their chest, when it gets to be Justin's turn, he has the alien protagonist pulling them out extremely slowly, inch by inch, swearing profusely, and vomiting and blacking out from the intense pain. Repeat four more times to get every other blade out.

The brothers were given the opportunity to bring their show into a live action format, with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7y7POw0yA first season]] airing in February 2017 on Seeso, and moving to Creator/{{VRV}} Select after Seeso's announced its plans for closure in August 2017.

* AmusingInjuries: The brothers occasionally talk about funny ways their father has hurt himself, including cutting his butt open and using a MaxiPad as a bandage, passing out from mixing kitty litter and bleach in a poorly-ventilated room, and getting hit by a van while carrying cold cuts to a Little League game.

* MissingEpisode: Because the brothers couldn't think of a concept that would do justice to episode number 420, they decided to just skip it and go to 421.

* RealityEnsues: While imagining scenarios to answer a Yahoo about how one should describe a non-human character in a book taking five blades out of their chest, when it gets to be Justin's turn, he has the alien protagonist taking them out extremely slowly, inch by inch, swearing profusely, and vomiting and blacking out from the intense pain. Repeat four more times to get every other blade out.

*** "X Watch" is a free-form segment in which Justin declares a "watch" on the release date of a movie. One recent example (2018) was ''[[Film/FantasticBeastsTheCrimesOfGrindelwald Fantastic Beasts 2]]'', a movie that perplexed the brothers by existing.

* SpecialGuest: Several episodes feature a "guestspert" who joins the brothers to answer questions about their area of expertise. Past guestsperts include lesbian comedienne (and fellow Maximum Fun family of podcasts member) Cameron Esposito, gay sex columnist Creator/DanSavage of "Savage Love," Broadway's Creator/LinManuelMiranda, rock musician Jonathan Roderick (of The Long Winters), ''Eat, Pray, Love'' author Elizabeth Gilbert, comedian [[{{Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000}} Bill]] [[{{Podcast/Rifftrax}} Corbett]], comedian [[{{Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000}} Jonah Ray]], and most recently musician Music/JimmyBuffett (who Justin is a ''huge'' fan of).

* AmbiguousSyntax: One Yahoo question brought on some brief confusion as to whether it referred to "cat people" (people who prefer cats as pets) or "[[LittleBitBeastly cat-people]]."

* AudienceParticipation: When Justin introduces "Munch Squad" at live shows, the audience joins in with "Squad!" at the appropriate times.

* AuthorAppeal: None of the brothers is above talking about their interests often. For Justin, this includes his love of Jimmy Buffett and island vacations, and for Griffin, this includes things such as Music/CarlyRaeJepsen , Pokemon, and vore [[note]] The last one is a joke interest, though it's gotten a bit out of hand in the fans' minds[[/note]]. They also had a segment where they talked about how they [[CouldSayItBut would never talk about being into odd kinks]] ("sexual waffle irons" for Griffin, while Travis "couldn't stop walrusing"; the punchline being Justin unable to think of something kinky so he just said, "s-sex? weird sex?", resulting in disgust from Griffin and Travis).

* {{Catchphrase}}: "You want a yahoo?"

*** Ever since being placed on the Forbes 30-Under-30 list, Griffin often introduces himself as such. [[InsistentTerminology Sometimes several times per episode.]]

-->'''Clint:''' The [=McElroy=] Brothers are ''not'' experts, and their advice should never be followed. They're just three brothers who created a podcast and now they've returned to their hometown to tape a TV show. Also: this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so you babies out there know how cool you are for watching. What's up, you cool baby?

* InsaneTrollLogic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOOHvOqiJgI&t=20s FURRIES CAN DO INFINITE CRIME!]]"

-->'''Justin''': I'm your oldest brother, Justin.
-->'''Travis''': I'm your middlest brother, Travis.
-->'''Griffin''': And I'm your SWEET baby brother, Griffin.

* LateToThePunchline: In one live show, Griffin describes a prank his brothers pulled on him when they were children, but only realized it was a prank ''as he was describing it''.
-->'''Griffin:''' I haven't been to Olive Garden in many moons, but they do have, like, a little, like, fettuccine bottle that you can just grab them out of and chew--[[ExplainExplainOhCrap hold on]]! Is this a prank you guys pulled on me when we went to Olive Garden as kids?! ''[audience laughs]'' No, stop! Everybody, shut up! Do they give you raw fettuccine to chew on in the lobby of the Olive Garden?\\
'''Audience:''' NO!\\
'''Griffin:''' YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!\\
'''Travis:''' ''[overjoyed]'' YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!\\
''[Cue MASSIVE audience reaction.]''

* {{Adorkable}}: All three of them.

* RealityEnsues: While imagining scenarios to answer a Yahoo about how one should describe a non-human character in a book taking five blades out of their chest, when it gets to be Justin's turn, he has the alien protagonist taking them out extremely slowly, inch by inch, swearing profusely, and vomiting and blacking out from the sheer pain. Repeat four more times to get every other blade out.

*** Near the end of the year, the brothers always come up with a rhyming nickname for the next one, along with a guiding ethos to fit it. Examples include "20-Grift-teen, the con is on," "20-Fix-teen, building bridges", "20-Serpentine, zag on 'em", "Collaborate-teen, stronger together", and "Frankenstein-teen, become the monster".

** Travis is sometimes called "Trav" or "Scraps".
** Griffin is often called "Grif", "Griffie", or "Ditto".
