Joel continues to be my favourite (perpetually exasperated, put upon) McElroy Brother.

This made me laugh so much but my favorite part when was when Justin cracked himself up asking Joel what his strategy was for keeping them happy.

Also when Griffin said "And I'm not talking about a cameo" the laugh that Joel made was the laugh of someone who had already started thinking about it.

Prediction: The McElroys' roles eventually get cut from the film, but the podcast brings Joel's acapella skills to the notice of the producers, earning him a substantial role in Trolls 2 and eventually global superstardom.

I'm seeing people around the internet throwing out the conspiracy theory that the McElroys already were booked for the Tonight Show, and this is all an elaborate con. But I don't believe it.

First of all, Jimmy Fallon saying "Let's talk" is still a long way away from them actually appearing on the Tonight Show on Oct. 16.

And it's like ok sure but who cares??? I bet these are the same people who got all mad about the stolen century. It's entertainment. Either enjoy it or don't enjoy it. Instead people get it all intertwined with their deepest feelings and desires and requirements and then get big mad when it's not exactly what they requested in their furtive prayers. It upsets me to the same degree as they're upset by the not exactly bespoke to their precise specifications entertainment.

It confounds me how Joel is an agent and is this cool. Don't forget that he's an acapella star too!
