MBMBaM 503: How to Get Away with Pinkbelly
Listen, y’all. There’s only one way that we’re getting through this thing, and I think we all know exactly what way I’m talking about. It is imperative, now more than ever, that we get Richard Gere to be a top-tier YouTuber.Suggested talking points: What’s Funny?!, Lying Ants, Snip Tunes, Roughhousing, Netflix Prophecies, Liminal Chalupa

MBMBaM 502: American Psycho 2: The Squeakquel
(Note: This was going to be our kick-off episode for the MaxFunDrive, which has been postponed. We've cut most of the drive-talk out of the episode -- hence the shorter-than-usual runtime and occasional pauses. Hang in there, y'all.)Join us as we open up the My Brother, My Brother and Me book to a brand new chapter; one celebrating lifestyle brand innovations and, well, cool orbs. Suggested talking points: Gotta Touch These Orbs, Justin Clears His Conscience, The Last Beheading Day, Ancient Grains Ready to Rip, Please Don’t Tell Pigeons About Farms, Snack’n Bac’n

MBMBaM 501: Face 2 Face: Jeans-Washed Acid
We’re currently sailing the high seas, searching for adventure on that big blue horizon. So, while we do that, here’s a live show we recently did in Cincinnati. (Griffin's doing fine, by the way. You'll understand why you might want that update a few minutes into the episode.)

MBMBaM 500: Spaghettageddon Two: 2 Saucy, 2 Carbious
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 members, but also there are two impromptu musical numbers and a fierce competition of athletic prowess, so, yeah. Thank you all so much for sharing this past decade with us. You’ve changed our lives irrevocably, and there’s no way we’ll be able to repay that kindness in our lifetimes, so instead, we just ate a bunch of pasta and recorded it for you.

MBMBaM 499: Right Down the Middle
THIS IS A NORMAL EPISODE. Please do not come into this one thinking we’re doing some kind of pre-500 celebration, or something. It’s NORMAL. There is NOTHING that sets it apart from all the other episodes. OKAY?Suggested talking points: No Ramp Up, Soda Bag, Paul’s Finest Grape Cake, Bee Purple, Fall Off The Bone Love, Halftime Korn, Poker Griefing

MBMBaM 498: Single Sleeved Sweater
The energy in this one … is difficult to describe. Was it a result of us recording back-to-back episodes during a busy pre-travel prep session? Yes. Was it also the result of a soft and extremely haunted homunculus that now dwells with — and within — Justin? Definitely, yes, for sure.Suggested talking points: Slim Leads, Nutzack, Buzz’s Space Car, Bum Bum, Stink Sniper, Average Erotic Wine Stopper, Living Pinecones

MBMBaM 497: Bugatti Boys
We’ve officially polished all the rough edges out of this weekly entertainment product that we’ve been making for like 10 calendar years.

MBMBaM 496: The Hyena Hole
Listen folks, because this is the last time we’re gonna say this: Hyenas go in the Hyena Hole. Please, PLEASE stop putting non-hyena things into the Hyena Hole. You’re disrupting the whole circle of life, and also, you’re REALLY riling up all the hyenas.Suggested talking points: Earnest Hogback, The Masked Listener, Pie Perversion, The Saltiest Chili, Football Twins, Part of Zoo.

MBMBaM 495: Play Along at Home!
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: Laughter and Love Challenge, Cole Slaw Juice, Brutalist Cup Design, Pizza Box Repair, Travis Takes a Big Swing at a New Bit, RIP Nut, Sky Pipes
