MBMBaM 801: Bad Idea Blanket

Episode 801

16th February 2026

This isn’t a celebrity-guest centric podcast at all, but we’re thinking maybe we can lure a famous mascot on if we fill our pockets with small stinky fish. Maybe that’s too forward. How about wing sauce? No, that’s too wild. I guess we’re just going to have to do a John Cougar Mellencamp impression instead.

About the show

My Brother, My Brother and Me is an advicecast for the modern era featuring three real-life brothers: Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy. For roughly five-sixths of an hour each week, with new episodes dropping every Monday, the brothers McElroy will answer any query sent our way, each fielding questions falling into our respective areas of expertise. We operate like a streamlined, advice-generating machine. It’s both terrifying and humbling to behold.

If you’re in desperate need of a bit of advice, don’t be shy! Simply send an email to mbmbam@maximumfun.org and we’ll take care of that for you.
