If you need advice, these guys are definitely not the best experts to turn to, but their answers are guaranteed to be the most entertaining. The McElroy brothers, consisting of Travis, Justin and Griffin, host the a weekly advice-comedy podcast for the modern era called “My Brother, My Brother, and Me.” Questions are either asked directly via email or ripped from the generous bounty that is Yahoo Answers. As the brothers break down each conundrum, hilarious tangents and anecdotes fly off the cuff. Earlier this year, the trio turned their beloved podcast into a live series for the late streaming service SeeSo while also taking the pod on the road. If you have a burning question, you might get to ask the sweet boys face-to-face as they descend upon Atlanta for a live performance.

Lil Yachty

The Fox Theatre - 660 Peachtree St. N.E. Atlanta, GA 30308 $61-$328. 8 p.m.

It doesn’t take seeing a Lil’ Yachty banner being proudly waved amid the throngs of Atlanta United supporters at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to know that the kid has become a fixture in the city’s culture. Despite a year filled with taking pot shots from hip-hop’s old heads saying he’s “ruining hip-hop” (sit down, Joe Budden), and releasing a debut album (Teenage Emotions) met with a lukewarm reception, the King of Teens is still comfortably nestled on this throne. The jokingly self-proclaimed purveyor of “bubblegum trap’ is bringing the Teenage Tour to his home turf.
