Which One Vapes?
On September 20th, 2016, My Brother, My Brother, and Me released an episode called "Which One Vapes?"[10] in which they played a game where they tried to name celebrities who were more likely to vape than the one previously named. The following day, fan Aubron Wood launced a single-serving website [11] that shows two celebrities and asks users to vote on which one vapes. The next day, The Daily Dot[12] covered the website. As of September 22nd, 2016, the celebrity most likely to vape is Shia LaBoeuf, and the celebrity least likely to vape is Michelle Obama.[13]
The Adventure Zone
On August 18th, 2014, the brothers did a special episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me where they played Dungeons and Dragons with their father, Clint.[14] The popularity of the episode inspired them to create another podcast called The Adventure Zone in which they run through quests and solve puzzles. Griffin McElroy has written many of the adventures they work through.
SeeSo TV Show
On September 15th, 2016, West Virginia's Herald-Dispatch[15] reported on a parade the McElroy brothers held in their hometown, Huntington, West Virginia, as part of an episode for their upcoming TV series on SeeSo. On January 26th, 2017, the brothers uploaded a teaser for the show to YouTube (shown below).
Unlike their podcast, the brothers spend each episode devoted to helping one person asking for advice rather than several. On February 16th, they streamed their first episode of the series, which features the parade reported on by the Herald-Dispatch, a week in advance of the show's February 23rd premiere on SeeSo.
