The McElroy Family Clubhouse is a weekly live-streamed YouTube series created by Justin, Travis and Griffin in which they play video games and host game segments, sometimes with guests. The show is streamed on Tuesdays on their YouTube channel, usually alternating between video game and game segment streams every other week. The first "season" of the Clubhouse concluded on November 19th, 2024, with a promise of a return in January 2025.[1]
Miggy Mackerel's introduction in the theme song.
The show is produced by Miggy Mackerel, a fish who sadly passes away in each intro after drinking a cup full of pens. The intro concludes with the boys cheerliy deciding to do the show in honor of him. Despite Miggy's inevitable and constant passing, he is part of each show and helps manage the stream as producer.
Other credits for the show include graphic design by McKay, additional music by Eric Near, video design & animation by Brielle Garcia, show producers Sarah Davis & Amanda Freberg, as well as Tom Dyke as the assistant to Mr. Mackerel.
