MBmBaM: Justin Tries To Sing Jimmy Buffet

Island Boy wants to sing our troubles away, but his brothers are two silly boys.
All credit goes to the McElroy brothers. This little bit of levity got me through a tough day. The show is My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Please visit them at Maximum Fun.

[@michael-elliottjansen9830]

This sounded good and then Griffin joined in and it was good for three more seconds and then everything went to hell very quickly

[@stevencooper1103]

I never realized until right when he started singing that Boat Drinks and Breakfast at Tiffany's were the same progression, lol.

[@vodkasvoice]

This is literally The Sibling Experience.

[@CBobbington]

Justin's got like... A nice voice?

[@candyh4284]

idk if you've heard since then, but "Fugue for the brotherhorns" has a justin belt at the end that is absolutely nuts

[@swordswaltzing]

my three brain cells trying to have one (1) complex thought

[@zmelchert]

Literally can't hear this song without mashing it up with "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in my head now

[@Snowfoxie1]

I love that Justin knew EXACTLY how to get revenge on Griffin at the end of the song

[@cheerfulspace]

Travis doing the 500 Miles "dah dah dahdah" is so good to me every time I listen to this, it's unreal

[@NjordsWolf]

This is my favorite fucking thing. In these dark times, we need these good good boys.

[@gregwessendorf]

These boys have brought me more laughs and joy than pretty much anything over the last 5 years or so.

[@andrineslife]

Justin and Griffin can clearly sing, I don't really know about Travis yet, but I really want an album now.

[@norris5754]

RIP. Without him I wouldn't have laughed my ass off to this clip.

And I said WHAT about...Breakfast at Closing Time!

[@placeholderband19]

my mood is Travis singing closing time

[@doctor_puppy]

This was hilarious and made me smile. I do really want to hear Justin sing without getting interrupted though.

[@StarrChild.]

He sang "Life is a Highway" on a livestream once.

[@iryna8057]

you can look up some songs he sang on awful squad and he sang "i don't like your girlfriend" a long time ago

[@magicaggy]

I agree. Id love to see a collab album with justin on vocals and griffins electronic music wizardry. All covers maybe?? Jolene and boat drink of course. Ooh and justins version of dragula too.

[@raisedbybears1991]

@@magicaggy Also, honorable mention: I really liked Griffin's acoustic jingles he used to so. They were jokes but I really liked them as music

[@robinwaterman9163]

The vid where he sings Jolene is really good

[@misch3095]

I would have loved to just hear j-man's cover of boat drinks for the end of the anxiety free cruise but somehow this chaotic triple threat is oddly perfect

[@charlieraven6342]

Justin has such a lovely singing voice in all seriousness

[@LS-jj4sy]

"Jimmy Buffet is a garbage artist" and then he's on their show

[@annamartin6297]

The true older sibling experience- trying to do something you think is cool and fun and your younger siblings ruin it for you

[@rachelrachel9152]

An alternate older sibling experience is trying to make your siblings do this kinda thing with you and they totally dont want to but you force it onto them

[@flairhayden]

Every night I dream about what this would have sounded like if they had actually gotten that mashup going. I get goosebumps thinking about it.

[@cirices4884]

i /really/ want a studio recording of the entire multiple song mashup plz god

[@eldritch2258]

i worship chaos,

[@skittay]

you know that discord meme where people tried to sing songs in chat? this is the real life version of that

[@dmotz]

This is my favorite MBMBAM clip of all time and I heard it here long before I ever heard the actual episode. Consider this a much belated thank you for uploading.

BOYS IN THE BAND ORDERED BOAT DRINKS

[@mvwinf]

1:31 travis launches into the part where he sings “boat drinks” but every word is “boat drinkin’.” but you can’t hear the “drinkin’” on the first one so it sounds like he just says “boat.” I’m writing through tears bc im laughing so hard this is the funniest shit

[@mvwinf]

2:20 travis echoing while barely disguising his laughter

Episode 328: The Anxiety-Free Cruise

[@misch3095]

And a little bit over a year after this episode they had Jimmy Buffet on their show

[@magicaggy]

I would love to see james buffet react to this

[@heyitsaleesha]

This is hands down one of my favorite MBMBAM moments

[@ryseintide9332]

boOOooOooooooat drinks

[@MelodicReverb]

Rhys Ofcake and i said what about, breakfast at closing time

[@RollerbladeCat]

*boat drinks*

[@theWeaverofTales]

And now, over a year later, we've come full circle

[@xanianjamfalcon]

This is how we know they're really brothers.

[@2goblinsinatrenchcoat]

Aw, this was recommended to me a few days after Jimmy Buffet’s passing :( I hope the brothers are doing alright.

[@moskvagorit]

This episode was the first time I I became ironically interested in JB and now seven years later I had a JB themed birthday party. Thanks guys.

[@jordancanning3502]

RIP James :( I hope you're enjoying boat drinks up in heaven

[@darkollie77]

undeniable proof that they're siblings

[@LS-jj4sy]

Boat drinks at tiffany's was nice though. Travis killed it

[@calliope720]

The first time I heard this bit I was sitting in my car in a Wendy's parking lot near the PDX airport right before a thunderstorm, and I remember it exactly because as I continued to smile like an idiot to myself for the whole five-plus minutes, a realization settled deeply into my soul, and with a small amount of wonder and equal alarm, I thought to myself, "I am in love with Justin McElroy."

[@Lee-ey9zh]

The way griffin says boat drinks I imagine him flapping a cape open over and over again like a magician reveal before yelling at everyone

[@prettygreen13]

BOAT DRINKS,

[@IronmonkeyXD]

i like that for a few moments griffin and justin actually had something cool going on before instantly going off the rails

[@vidiia]

Go print out a Jimmy Buffett song lyric chart and then throw it in the fucking garbage.

[@twigwigsoso]

Justins voice is actually so good

[@swiftspot3055]

i just got recommended this and I think justin should record a memoriam album in honor of jimmy

[@Sista_Twista]

Ah, the first sonic bath.

[@novarex1071]

This is why Jimmy Buffet demands compensation when he brings them up/plugs the show

[@christianmarshal8768]

It’s hurts behind my ears so much from smiling ughh face is dead

[@aaronkemats4759]

RIP king

[@alexopossum7751]

i put the mbmbam podcast in when i sleep and i woke up to this bit in the middle of the night. i was laughing too hard to go back to sleep.

[@corndog3164]

Okay but I think Justin could cover a Bare Naked Ladies song really well

[@wdfinbllngsly]

I do love that each of the brother's singing separately sounds good and then you put them together

Boat drinks are cocktails served by a topless waitress, generally to the captain of a boat.
