Episode Date: March 22, 2024

Happy MaxFunDrive everyone! We've been on the network approximately forever, and because of that our back catalog of bonus content can be pretty overwhelming. To help you out, here's some clips from three of our favorite pieces of bonus content from years past: The recreation of the Episode 400 Margaritaville Blue Carpet, where we were joined by special guest Matt Doyle; Prankee Doodle Dandy, where we forced our way through social anxiety to prank call people; and the long-lost Detroit Star Wars Spectacular, which we released as a bonus goal during 2019's drive, because only members are allowed to experience that catastrophe.If you want to hear more, you can become a member at https://maximumfun.org/join to get access to the full episodes, plus so, so much more.

No, no, but this year you you're driving straight to laugh city. We make new bonus content every year. There is a wide variety of stuff in there. Some real, some real wild ones, if you've ever listened.

For example, there's... Last year, we redid episode 400, recreated our Margaritaville blue carpet episode with Matt Doyle performing as everyone besides us and us swapping our parts so we play different brothers. It was a psychological experiment. It was. There's Pranky Doodle Dandy, there's lots of stuff.

Pranky Doodle Dandy, don't gloss over that. That's our entry in the prank universe. That's true. Yeah, there's a lot. You get to hear a Release stretch goal from 2019. There's our Detroit Star Wars spectacular, which only live show We are possibly anyone's ever done. Okay, it's they're all really good. Please take a listen and We will be back right after to remind you to please join

Is that maybe Matt Doyle? Nobody looks like the pictures. Matt Doyle? Maybe, maybe Matt Doyle? You say his name like 14 more times and maybe it'll just become true. Accurate. I'm thinking we need to be on the other side of this rope. You think that we would be?

So here's the, let's set up the scene for folks at home because remember we're recording an episode of the podcast. Okay, Travis is going across the rope. Yes, this is the right move. Okay, there's a rope and Travis is going on the other side of it. You gotta be more of a presence. Okay.

We're kind of his producers. We're supervising producers. Okay, Travis is... Travis is across the rope that is protecting us from the beautiful people. So terrifying. Travis is very, all right, now listen, from this point forward, we can't talk about being scared. Nobody's gonna yell at you. Everybody's a crosser rope.

Now we're a crosser rope too. Yeah. Okay. Oh, now he looks like he's doing interviews? Okay, Miss Hughes. Miss Hughes, right? Miss Hughes, yes. Maybe don't mention we do a podcast now.

Let me think about it. Oh, no, okay. There's so many different iterations of how I'm gonna introduce us out of my head. Is this Hughes? No, I think, I don't actually know. I didn't do, we're brothers. I'm not, I'm not sure of the name.

Don't, yes, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, I'm gonna get this. Okay, Travis, Travis, it's okay. Can we ask you some quick questions? Hi, how's it going? We do an advice podcast. Whoa, what is this? It's a microphone.

We've never done this before, so we're gonna- We're recording a podcast. Very nervous, this is our first one. We do an advice podcast called My Brother, My Brother, and Me. We were wondering what advice would you give to our listeners as far as good activities to do on vacation?

Getting away to Margaritaville? Oh, I love this podcast question actually. So I definitely... I'm a huge hiker. I love to go hiking. And I think if you're on vacay, the best thing to start the day is by going up for like a little exercise, a little walk, and that way you're burning out the hangover from the night before. Nice.

I love that. You just work hard and you play hard. Well, but it's not working. You're out, you're engaging, you're being good to your body. Yeah. So you're not. That is a novel concept for the three of us.

This is the best advice we've ever actually had. Be healthier. That's good. But you got to be with people. Otherwise, it feels like punishment. It feels like work, right? But if you're with people, then it's just fun. And if you're alone, you also have to be worried about bears.

But with people, you're less likely to be attacked by a bear. Avoid bears. Bigger. More bears. Speaking of, our second question is, what sea creatures do you think are most dangerous? Roboto! This is Roboto! God damn.

I mean, I'm wearing a mermaid dress, so I think mermaids, right? Mermaids can be fairly terrifying. Wow, that's a really good point. They are scary, actually. That's not an obvious choice. They'll sink you into a trance. You walk right into the water. Exactly. I love it. Excellent. Thank you very much. Cool. And what's your podcast called? It's called My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Oh, duh. Like,

it's written on the sign. Okay, cool. Jimmy Buffett was on our our show and we asked if we could come to this and we didn't really think through the practicalities We're actually doing it a podcast on the red carpet. Yeah, this is not really our milieu, but we're hanging in there You're nailing it. Thank you. A lot of people walk past us before you stop. So this is kind of the first oh Yeah, thank you. Thank you for stopping Yeah, thank you. Thank you for stopping. Hopefully I... Ah! Oh!

Oh! Very normal. Hopefully I will, you know, start a trend for you. Good luck. Thank you, I appreciate that. Spread the word that we're regular normal people. Ah! Ah!

Thank you. Take a chance. We could say we're Kam's Hams, a local ham business in Huntington, and tell dad. You didn't have to explain that, everyone knows what Cam's Ham is, come on. There's a Huntington based ham business

called Cam's Hams, we need to call him and say that you are Cameron, Justin. Cameron, Hamron. And you do have a new ham you'd love to name after the man if you can get his explicit permission. Okay. All right. And what's the name of that ham gonna be?

We need to, good crank work, Justin, is all about the preparation. So we do need a name for the ham. Well, we can call it Clint's hog. Clint's hog is great. Yeah. So just let him know that this is Cameron Ham from Cam's Ham, and we'd love to name Clint's hog after you

Alright, dad, you got us. You're on scene. Hang up, hang up! What are you doing?

Hang up! No, no, no. We're gonna get in trouble! Let's break down how this happened. Welcome to Anatomy of a Bad Idea, starring Griffin and McElroy. On Tuesday of this week, I was looking at all the great tweets that my friends and colleagues were doing, and I saw one go up from my brother Justin that said, Hey, this Detroit Mabin Man show is gonna be all Star Wars themed. This is our first time going to Detroit.

Let's show up hard. And I said, Oh, great. Usually we run things by each other, or maybe we don't. Maybe this is just- Usually it's just like, we have such a good internal compass of like, will they be okay with this?

And you know what? 99.999999% of the time, we're all right. But y'all are what Malcolm Gladwell called an outlier. People ask us sometimes like, you guys have done a lot of live shows. Do you still get nervous and we'll tell them, no, not really. Cause we know what we're doing every time.

For this one? Detroit, I stand before you. Motown, Hitchfield USA, Comeback City of the USA. Paris of the Midwest. I feel a little bit, Cloud City of the Midwest. I feel, I feel a little bit... Cloud City of the Midwest? I feel... I feel a little... nervous. I have... We have some Star Wars themed questions. Yeah.

We have some regular questions. We have a ripcord. Yeah, yeah, that's our escape hatch. The expediency with which we transition to... some regular questions. We have a ripcord. Yeah, that's our escape hatch. The expediency with which we transition to regular questions will be an interactive fortune of the show. And it's how bad the panic attack that is currently blossoming inside my chest blooms forth in front of all of you.

Now, here's the thing. We also don't want to take for granted that everyone in this room has seen Star Wars. This is interesting. Please, and I know you'd be nervous to identify yourself, so maybe just a quick sharp woo if you've never seen a Star Wars movie before. Fuck, that was a lot of you shit. Okay, great.

So let me give you a quick rundown. Fuck. Of what happened in the farm boy TV. Travis hold on, you're trying to move on very quickly, but let's take a minute to really just soak in this. Well you guys soak in it while I... Okay. I'll tell you everything else. So there's a young farm boy who represents Jesus.

There was shit before that. There was shit before the Jesus farm boy. No, there's not. And so Jesus farm boy loses his uncle and aunt. Somewhere. And he's really sad. And then a green guy is like, raise that plane. And he does it.

And then a dude in a mask is like, rawr. Yeah. Oh, there's also an old man there. Shit. Okay, wait. Let me start over. So Luke has a crush on his sister. If you like that shit, weirdo,

there's so much Boko waiting for you, including stretch goal content. There's episode commentaries of the Mabim Bam TV show with us and our pal JD Amato, show runner on that. A particular television program. There's home movies of ours from when we were children. Yeah, those were there. There's an extended cut video of the naming of 2023, which features both the crushing

and the triumph of the human spirit. Yeah, and there's new stuff this year. And if, I don't know, depending on how the drive goes, even more stuff by the end of it. It's a lot, it's great. And we really appreciate your support. Of course, the Boko isn't the reason you support us. You support us because you love us
