My Brother, My Brother, and Me (TV series)

My Brother, My Brother, and Me^[1] is a web television series based on the podcast of the same name.

The first (and currently only) season of the TV show was originally ordered as a co-production of NBC's streaming service Seeso and Big Giant Head LLC. However, Seeso was shut down soon after, and the show's rights were sold to VRV, where it is currently hosted as free content.^[2] The show can also be purchased on major streaming platforms^[3]^[4]^[5], but the McElroys do not receive royalties.^[6]

Each episode opens with a disclaimer read by Clint McElroy and the theme song "(It's A) Departure". The show was filmed in the McElroys' hometown of Huntington, West Virginia. In addition to celebrity guest stars, the show also features members of the McElroy family and various residents of Huntington, including Mayor Williams and Police Chief Ciccarelli.

Alternate Reality Game[]

The alternate reality game (ARG) clues in Episode 5 lead to three bonus clips from the show, which have been compiled into this YouTube video.

At the end of the episode, Clint says, "Go to my youngest son's seventh word hyphen my youngest son's fifteenth word dot pizza to unlock your prize."
In the cold open at the beginning of the episode, Griffin says, "Hey Siri, open contacts. Delete all Dereks. Hey Siri, text Derek. That was a trap."

First clip: Go to dereks-trap.pizza and enter 325892875734530 in the text box

3 and 2 are the numbers on the dice in Clint's studio.

The end of the episode features a clip of Clint speaking backwards. Reversing the audio gives the phrase, "My boy has two when he should have one. What is it?"
Griffin is wearing two watches in several scenes during this episode (as well as in the picture that was used for his Forbes profile and this wiki).

Season 2[]

Near the (supposed) end of Candlenights 2020, Travis can be heard off-handedly mentioning a season 2 of the T.V. show being in the works. However, Travis^[7] and Justin^[8] (and a source close to the brothers, Amanda Freberg^[9]) have since emphatically stated that this was a goof. Season 2 is not confirmed.

Trivia[]

It is commonly purported that the television show was short-lived due to the shut-down of Seeso. However, sources (that wish to remain anonymous) report that the cancellation occurred "for no less or more" because God saw how powerful it was and nerfed the McElbros in order to maintain the balance of the cosmos.
Justin and Griffin mention playing a lot of the Attack on Titan video game after shooting the TV show, partly as a way to relieve stress.^[10]
