McElroy Family Clubhouse: Travis's Yellowstone Book Report

[@glamafonic]

My indescribable joy when they say Travis has nine more minutes, but I see clearly that the episode has an hour left.

[@ThePlumAbides]

I had the exact same thought

[@lauracatherine5129]

Griffin finally experiencing what he put Justin through in the Catlateral Damage video

[@Maarttii]

very strong Travis start in 2025: the only one who ate before the naming of the year ep, took his punishment and made a great presentation even as he was being rushed through it. very powerful middle sibling energy.

[@eldritchzora]

That’s why he’s the Alpha! 🐶

[@fat.E]

This type of thing should be a series. I would honestly not miss a one. Would love to see the oher brothers book reports on "outside their wheelhouse" movies/shows.

[@mario_actually]

Absolutely!

[@hbtv03]

Griffin/Justin report on How to Train Your Dragon, pls

[@pyrogues]

Really put “Dare to Care” to the test

[@Mosstrades]

@@hbtv03 i'd adore that! id love a backdoor mcelroy film podcast

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

@@hbtv03 It's only fair!

[@DogEggOmelette]

Easily the best clubhouse episode yet. Travis' spite for having to watch Yellowstone will sustain me for years to come

[@caseyb.4188]

I genuinely think this type of content should be a new avenue for the brothers. Watching people recap cursed media properties I have no intention of ever consuming is one of my favorite pastimes and I know I am not alone in this.

[@BlaineKodos]

I applaud Travis turning his punishment into a punishment. There were two ways to do this and he chose the one that ensured this would be Justin and Griffin's problem as much as it was his.

[@Levacque]

It's pretty much what I expected to happen when they first floated the idea of watching Yellowstone as a penalty. No matter which ended up losing, how could these brothers NOT inflict this upon each other?

[@quietadah]

His commitment to making sure they knew EVERY DETAIL he knew was incredible to behold.

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

Big middlest brother energy! Middle siblings have to find creative ways to twist unfortunate situations (like the birth of further children after themselves) into weapons against their siblings.

[@chloee7007]

My unironic favorite genre of McElroy Content is "Travis Infodumps While Justin and Griffin Look on in Horror and/or Amazement"

[@vazzmatazz]

same energy as Griffin forcing Justin to watch him play Catlateral Damage for an extended period of time :D

[@MrSwagden]

this entire episode is weaponized ADHD and I love the sibling destruction

[@Nono-hk3is]

This is Travis's finest hour and 44 minutes

[@LilyCraig]

Y'all need to get Travis a whiteboard STAT

[@rubadoobes]

And some red string

[@kitkat1595]

this is what clubhouse is built for... travis is in absolute peak form thank u brothers for this all timer ep

[@leninade20]

I appreciate following up a marathon fever dream MBMBAM ep with a marathon fever dream Clubhouse ep. I can only hope season 2 is this year's punishment prize.

[@jonhanson8925]

Yeah, came here eager for Tummy Buddy Life to be addressed, instead I got an episode that somehow felt even more insane than the naming episode Bravo!

[@midnightshutdown]

travis wrote an ACTUAL book report, and made it into the funniest bit ever. i am so inspired by you travis

[@jacobrude5047]

The jarring transition between Travis' then hour-long "summary" of Yellowstone and the Energy Dragons bit was truly sublime

[@ironichamster8197]

“Thank you Travis” we all chant in unison. Now I no longer have to wonder if I would enjoy Yellowstone. Your dedication to this assignment is very appreciated. Well done, divine leader.

[@MaximumDracula]

"No Jacey and no J.C." sent me to Heaven, which does not exist apparently.

[@elizahare4004]

Amazing ep. More Travis book reports. As the adhd sibling in my own fam, I recognize griffin and Justins annoyance and I support and applaud Travis for barreling forward because he knows he has good content. MIDDLE SIBLING WITH ADHD CITIZENS OF TRAVNATION RISE UP.

[@jlgood89]

Seeing Justin and Griffin's horrified, bewildered faces in real time really elevated the experience higher than audio alone could ever achieve

[@hbtv03]

When Travis waved his twenty pages of notes I G A S P E D

[@Nono-hk3is]

Amazing. I admire Travis's ability to focus his hyper fixation onto something that doesn't necessarily appeal to him.

[@biscuitmeetsgravy]

By the power of THC I only today noticed how nice the reflections are on the floor in the intro

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

I too am a believer in The Holy Christ, through which all shiny objects are noticeable!

[@dustinheese]

This is great. 4 hours of the brothers already this week, not a bad way to spend being trapped by snow.

[@ClaudiaManns]

incredible start to season 2 guys, I'm sorry travis had to experience Yellowstone but god it was funny for all of us

[@Vilccm]

This was the wildest ride and I still don’t know if the main characters are horses or not

[@dboone7670]

All but Kevin Costner. He could never be a horse.

[@jacquiecotillard9699]

I hope you guys know you’ve been on fire lately. Blart 2024, Naming 2025, 600s have had me laughing harder than I have in ages. Thanks a lot!

[@Mosstrades]

oh yeah theyve been super funny

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

I keep thinking these funny brothers are going to run out of things to talk about with each other, but they somehow just keep getting better and better!

[@Beeevaaa]

This may have been the best family clubhouse episode yet???

[@CoraHaas]

Watching Justin try to keep a good face while dead in the eyes, realizing he created this monster and has also been promoting this awful show through its hysterical products is my favorite part

[@infinitenoodledoodle]

justin removing the hat after it's revealed that the dutton's were hostile towards the neighboring reservation

[@terry3906]

Trout conspicuously absent from the kill count.

[@olivers3298]

I would watch endless McElroy book reports. Like every week forever. Until the end of my life.

[@veraacatherinee]

I’m not sure why I watched an hour and a half of this but I sure did. 5 stars

[@erinrob915]

I’m an English teacher. Travis earned an A+ on this book report. Funnel method for the intro paragraph. Well researched. Keeps the audience engaged. Bravo, Travis!

[@dschu12]

Incredible effort by Travis to bring us the gem of an episode.

[@tylerdegenkolb7641]

I always enjoy the Clubhouse… but that was probably the most I’ve ever laughed out loud watching the brothers. Well done.

[@galnaresc]

It was selfish of Griffin to schedule a dermatology appointment on the same day as Travis’s book report

[@mockduckcompanion]

This is one of my favorite videos y'all have ever produced

[@wrentaylor4924]

obsessed with this. made me laugh out loud so many times. tbh i need travis to do this for season 2

[@YouTubeBot-8916]

I've been waiting with baited breath for Trav's Yellowstone book review, and it was even better than I was expecting! I would love for someone to make a 15 minute fan edit of this season of the show that just contained the story beats he described.

[@TimeyWimeyWomble]

This is easily my favorite thing ever, Travis committed to bit like an All-Star. Can’t wait for the next contest punishment to be for one of the other brothers to cover Season 2.

[@Takanudo]

I spend the holidays with my MAGA family. Watching Yellowstone has been the family tradition the last three years. The main antagonist for all 5 seasons is the general concept of California. To be fair to Travis, half the run time is dedicated to scenes that have nothing to do with anything, and yet are somehow intrinsic to the spirit of the show. SPOILERS for the cliffhanger at the end of Season 2 or 3: My favorite comedic moment is when John Dutton stops on the side of a highway to help a mother and her child change a tire. After helping, the mother offers to pay John for his services. By offering to pay, John knows she must be from California because, obviously, Californians only offer aid with the expectation of payment. John then proceeds to explain that, in Montana, aid is given freely. Then a van pulls up with armed men who shoot John. The mother is killed in the crossfire in front of her son. I don’t know if the juxtaposition of the lecture on Montana moral superiority with rural gun violence was intentional comedy, but it made me laugh.

[@mochrimek]

oh my god i would have keeled over laughing if i saw that scene played out in real time.

[@jasonhommas1775]

From descriptions, it sounds like this show could become a genuinely interesting critique if they just added one character who cannot be pierced by bullets who appears at the end of every scene and is like “is anyone else seeing this shit?”

[@mycatoverlords]

I loved this so much!! Please please please continue doing all the Yellowstone episodes! How about just one per show? Pleeeeeeaaaassseee????

[@cheesepiegreen]

I was watching this while stoned and at 1:16:18 the spirit of the names Lloyd and Casey took over my soul and forced me to write one of the most bizarre pieces of sketch comedy i’ve ever crafted. Thank you.

[@kaylastansbury7446]

This is truly my favorite video yall have ever done and it's not even close. I would watch literal hours of this.

[@oldloam]

the professionalism, the level of detail

[@blueskybelyr]

I'm delirious with the flu rn and this was literally a fever dream to me. I will hear Travis in my sleep

[@JayofLemuria]

I hope you feel better soon 😭♥️

[@blueskybelyr]

@@JayofLemuria thank youuu

[@GnabMangoes]

This is my first Clubhouse and ngl it's a banger. If Travis wants to do us all a service and watch and summarize every season then I, for one, would be grateful

[@Nelshaless]

I absolutely love listening to Travis' mad retelling of that nasty show. This is a ride!

[@Roccobear]

Justin shamefully removing the Yellowstone hat is very powerful

[@trevorkreutzer4305]

“The Duttons owns. Helicopter..” “Then who needs a mom?!?” 😅😂😂😂😂

[@frightenedsoul]

This was awesome. I easily could have listened to another hour of it.

[@Just_Becky_Dammit]

I want Travis to summarise everything for me now!

[@Violynnce]

Yep, think we're gonna need another book report for the other seasons too, Travis. By putting so much effort into reversing the punishment onto your brothers, you've created a demand that truly is a short lived prison of your own creation

[@sendrius]

I am loving this recap of Yellowstone! I know I shouldn't, but this segment is gold.

[@TheHoziest]

This is unironically one of the best episodes of Clubhouse there has been. Travis needs the stage to infodump about insane, bad tv more often and griffin needs to get on board lmao

[@JayEmmerton]

My dad is a huge Yellowstone fan and I know nothing about it. This is eye-opening

[@JayofLemuria]

No TRULY, my entire immediate family love it and I’m worried about them

[@drskelebone]

"As long as you'll let me" is the best response ever.

[@feelthejoy]

“Her name is Mint Tea?” good lord I choked

[@Mosstrades]

the person who said that this was like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel for white dads, you fucking genius, that's hysterically accurate

[@codypotter7875]

Love the book report idea. Would watch a hundred of them.

[@frankieflood7936]

Juice and Griffin really sleep on how entertaining Travis is and how good his vibes are when he goes rogue. Easily the best clubhouse

[@janedoe3043]

Travis gets an A+ for his book report but a B- for his speech class because he didn't control the room. I love this.

[@quirkthekenku]

I'm only 40 minutes in but to me this is the funniest piece of McElroy content in recent history. I want a multi-video series of Travis watching bad tv shows and describing it to his brothers. If you won't give me more BG3, at LEAST give me this!!!

[@quietadah]

Absolutely crying with laughter over Travis' commitment to the report and how utterly terrible Yellowstone sounds. I forget until weeks like this that there are so many fans who came to the brothers through Polygon or even TAZ rather than from early MBMBaM and may not quite get that doubling down on insane and sometimes painful bits is 100% on brand for them. This and the naming episode on back-to-back days was a JOURNEY, y'all.

[@swiles]

I want a podcast where Travis describes TV shows to his brothers 😂

[@sweater_ghost]

Griffin after Travis describes the opening scene of Ep 1: "Great. Next episode?" "Nope!" This is gonna be a gooooood episode

[@feelthejoy]

“Welcome back to my mind, Wes Bentley!” Wow, I’ve never thought about it before but he really is an actor who ceases to exist when I’m not actively looking at him

[@crabbycosplay]

so sad i have class during clubhouse this quarter so i cant catch it live. VOD squad here i come

[@threepwood0007]

this was literally one of the best clubhouses yet and I hate that it was built on the back of suffering (and what seems to be a truly miserable viewing experience in the form of a desecration of America's beloved national park)

[@theheathen42]

I clicked SO FAST when I saw that title. Commenting before I even watch, I'm that excited 🤣 EDIT - if it wouldn't break Travis entirely, I would request he do this for every episode of Yellowstone. Instead, I'll just request that he write his own episode as a Max Fun stretch goal. I think he'd do a way better job than the show!

[@honeyghosts]

need a spinoff pod of just this

[@ChuckWerner]

This dumb recap of a dumb soap opera is dumb, but also great. Loved every single minute of it. I would watch more Travis recaps of dumb shows. "Recaps Out of Spite" is a great new genre, not to be confused with "Sarcastic Movie Reviews."

[@yeet-hawjones]

this has video essay levels of intrigue

[@misterkingdom3571]

I’m working a double on this hideous Tuesday and all the McElroy content is the one bright spot that’s getting me through! I love you guys! Come do MBMBaM in Spokane, Washington!

[@hedgebard5182]

Welcome back and thank you for the blessing that is this show. Highlight of every week!

[@taylorhartwig1138]

well there goes the yellowstone sponsorship

[@ToyKnives]

1:07:29 this is the absolute best part of the stream

[@nightmare_eyes_]

Absolutely destroyed me 😂

[@janedoe3043]

Can you imagine forcing someone to watch like 9 hours of awful TV and then complaining to them that there's too much shitty content in the 1.75 hour synopsis?! Come on guys, Travis didn't write the show and you made him watch the 9 hour version.

[@lilylittlelamb]

29:02 THIS IS WHEN RIP SHOWS UP. EVERYBODY SHUT UP, RIP’S HERE.

[@PimpinPoptart06]

This is one of my favorite things you boys have done. 10/10 no notes

[@ash471]

i saw someone in a yellowstone hoodie today. didnt realize people were Actually fans of the show

[@eldritchzora]

Are you sure they weren’t just referencing the recurring Yellowstone bit from MBMBaM?

[@RaquelPena-wr7cf]

I'm a barber in Texas and unfortunately I hear people talk about how much they LOOOVE this show on a near daily basis. Now that I know some of what happens on it I respect them less

[@Taurusus]

It was pulling Game of Thrones numbers for _years_ and I don't know a single person who's ever seen it.

[@futchslug]

Wait... the tribe the main family is fighting against is the "broken rock" reservation.... like the standing rock reservation who fought against the dapl from 2016 on???? Bro the premise of this show is fucked

[@clanofclams2720]

pretty sure the season finale is the owner of the ranch ceding all their land and money to the reservation. not a joke.

For the next book report the brother who is reporting shoild have a mikes mic -esque board behind him, so he can always point at the characters and keep the photos up all the time! 😌

In this episode Travis is rocky, I am the Russian audience, the show Yellowstone is Ivan drago. He really won me over by the end of it. Griffin and Justin’s sanity is maybe Apollo creed?

[@dairypop4000]

Have we considered Charizard is simply a deconstructed dragon? Not dragon type but all the base elements are still present
