History Trivia / MyBrotherMyBrotherAndMe

* CreatorBacklash: The [=McElroys=] have all said on numerous occasions that they consider the older episodes of the podcast to be this, as they were more insensitive and close-minded back then, and openly warn people ''against'' starting from the beginning of the podcast. On a less emotional level, they also mock the terrible audio quality of the early episodes.

* 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.
** Ultimately they ''did'' release an Episode 420, much later, to commemorate the [[EndOfAnEra closing of Yahoo Answers]] (which went read-only on April 20th, 2021, in anticipation of a complete shutdown the following May 4th.)

* BigNameFan:
** [[https://twitter.com/The_Davenporter Drew Davenport]] is a perennial submitter of Yahoo Answers questions, to the point of Griffin deliberately mumbling his name at times because who submitted the question is ''that'' obvious. He's even the namesake of a regular NonPlayerCharacter in ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance''. Merit Palmer, Graham Roebuck and Emma Kantt are similarly prolific submitters.
** Creator/LinManuelMiranda, who showed up as a guestspert and subsequently bombarded the MBMBAM Facebook page with videos of celebrities (such as Music/CarlyRaeJepsen, Wrestling/DwayneJohnson, Creator/TyraBanks, and Sinbad) telling Griffin that he's doing a great job. Topping it all off, he got Creator/ScottBakula (a frequent subject of discussion on the podcast) to wish Griffin's wife Rachel congratulations on her pregnancy. He even gave a split-second shout-out gesture to the podcast during the rendition of "Alexander Hamilton" at the Grammy awards, and another one when he hosted ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Miranda also included a [[https://twitter.com/lin_manuel/status/537319805163147264 few]] [[http://www.pajiba.com/podcasts_1/did-linmanuel-miranda-sneak-a-reference-to-his-favorite-podcast-into-the-hamilton-grammy-performance.php references]] to the podcast on Theatre/{{Hamilton}}.

* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: After a trainwreck series of audience questions in Episode 373, [[note]]The first "question" was the [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} asker saying that raccoons are actually ghosts of Confederate soldiers]], the second was ShamelessSelfPromotion for a (now-defunct) podcast, and the third flagrantly disregarded "no bummers" by trying to start a conversation about the patriarchy[[/note]] the [=McElroys=] instituted a "best of two" policy to discourage people from treating audience questions like an open mic. As of Episode 406, this has been replaced with audience members emailing single-sentence questions so that the brothers can screen them before inviting the question-asker up to the mic.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: The podcast used the song "It's a Departure" by John Roderick as its theme song since 2011. This ended on January 3, 2021, after Roderick posted a multiple-tweet story on Twitter the day prior revealing that he made his six-year-old daughter spend six hours figuring out how to open a can of beans by herself, which got him accused of child abuse. The "#[=BeanDad=]" story then led people to look into his old tweets and discover that he made numerous racist, anti-Semitic and ableist statements over the course of several years. The backlash led Roderick to delete his Twitter account, and within mere hours, the Creator/McElroyBrothers [[https://twitter.com/MBMBaM/status/1345853609175560193 announced they would no longer use Roderick's music on the show]] and would be looking for a new theme song.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: The opening theme "(It's A) Departure" will be changed in 2021 because John Roderick, who performed the song, was not only accused of child abuse after refusing to feed his child until she learnt how to use a can opener to open a can of beans, but also some rediscovered tweets from 2011-2012 that had anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and white supremacist dog whistles as well as ableist and racist slurs and a rape threat.
