My Brother, My Brother And Me - PILOT: The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Trolls 2, Chapter 1

Episode Date: March 24, 2017

Happy #MaxFunDrive, to celebrate, we're giving you a sneak peak at our next project, a narrative, non-fiction prestige podcast about how we got into Trolls 2. This is not a goof. The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Trolls 2. Music: Underscore Orkestra, "Troll of the Mountain Swing"

Okay. I don't want to do a fucking intro. No, this is it. None of that. This is us talking. None of that garbage. All right. This is a safe. Don't say fucking though. They're trying to keep it clean. I'm saying if we're going to if we're going to do this thing in earnest, I think it's starting.

We got to live clean life. OK, so here you're cussing on the Internet. Here's this. Here's the thing. We're going to be in trolls, too. Welcome to a new prestige podcast from the McRoy brothers and big giant head. My name is Justin McRoy, and you're listening to the McRoy brothers will be in trolls, too. My brothers and I always wanted to be famous. We've gotten pretty far with the podcast.

We had power. We had money. We had some fame, but our real goal feature film had still managed to elude us. That all changed the day that my sister-in-law Riley told me that you two people got to be in trolls one. It occurred to me and my brothers, if them, why not us in 2020? The movie trolls, you know, let's break it down. Do you know, for a fact, 2020, J Tim's and April 2020, right? And here's the thing.

What people so very rarely do is they make a time capsule these days. And what we have done is this podcast presupposes that we are in troll, too. Otherwise, we're in. We got to be really fucking professional about this. So Travis, it's trolls, plural, too. What did I say? You said troll, too, which is bad. You made that movie. That was very good.

So we're going to assume we're in trolls, too. So this is the behind the music. Yeah, the lead out. It must be really weird, funny, listening to this after we're in trolls, too. Yeah, and three and four. And three and four, but we're actually actually made kind of more central to the more central to the plot. That's the thing.

The backstory that they established with our characters in trolls, too. It makes so much. Thank you for really hitting me. Yes, it makes so much more sense than the controls. One of the things that I want to achieve with this podcast. Like, what do you want to be in trolls, too? I guess I, I, OK, let me see this. I think the I think the podcast is the success.

If we're in the film trolls, too, yeah, with the one vocal role, that said, I don't think we should necessarily put it in that framework. I think we should angle for supporting. So there's like, there's there's OK, here. How much do you guys know about trolls? Nothing. So OK, that's not that can't be episode one. Well, no, it's I'm just going to tell you there's branch and poppy. There's sort of the major brains branch and poppy.

There's sort of the main ones. And then there's like tertiary. There's secondary trolls around them, like Guy Diamond and DJ Suki and. Oh, oh, and then there's like tertiary ones, like Cooper or some of the other ones. Uh-huh. So bragging right now. I think that we could be not Cooper, because they have real people in like that. Like, don't make new one.

Don't make new films for us. Ron Funch, this is Cooper. Right. So that's one thing that I'm excited about. We finally can talk with Ron. Yeah, project. Well, we also kind of we can get in touch with Ron if we need to. And so he could help us maybe get in trouble. Like, I've never had a really leverage that kind of stuff

with people who are a little bit more connected to the end. He's just been asking them. Just can you can we be in trolls too, please? Hey, that's the thing. You you miss 100 percent of the trolls, your boys overwork. You don't ask. Yeah. So I was not joking earlier. We need to start living and really doing comedy very clean.

And we can't. I feel like this. I think there's going to be lots of folks who work on trolls who hear this and they're going to be delighted and charmed by it. And they'll be like, these three boys struggle is, you know, so real. So very real and passionate. And so like, I don't there's going to be people. We're going to have insurgent sects inside of DreamWorks who are like, we got to get these boys in the picture.

But if it's stuff comes out in the Boyds about like us being bad boys or like doing lots of cuss before on Jimmy Fallon. And we do a bunch of cusses and somebody sees it like we're fucked. I want to let me let me put it this way. I don't want people to assume that we are being ironic or joking. I want to be in trolls. I want to be in trolls. Hey, guys, look at me. I want to be in trolls, too.

No, really, really framing it in that way. Your tense has to be really. We're in trolls, too. We're in trolls. Or no, we will be in trolls, too. We are in trolls, too. The plans started to go from dream to reality one night after a live show in Portland. We had consumed some marijuana edibles.

They're legal there. My brother's at each head, too. I had had one because I'm an old man. It was in that hotel room after the show, after the edibles, they're getting into trolls, too, started to seem like a really, really, really good idea. How do we how do we make that happen? Let me ask you this.

What is it about the trolls franchise that really hooked you and drew you in? Well, like I want to because I see lots of franchises and I don't think I must be in the next one of these. Well, I watch trolls a lot. I mean, like a lot of time. So I'm really familiar with the story. That's one thing. Secondly,

it's literally that Riley told me that they put YouTubers in the first one. I thought, well, shit, if you're going to do that, why not put podcasts? I use YouTube to watch other ones. They don't probably don't do that for everybody who uses YouTube. We should outline the premise of the show

because you talked about irony. And I want to do it in one sentence. The Macworld Brothers are going to be in Trolls, too. Yeah, the Macworld Brothers will be in Trolls, too. That's the name of the podcast. But like I want people to know that this is not a joke. A joke, joke, joke podcast. If you came for jokes, we have many other offers.

Is the truth a joke? It's it's not a joke. We're going to be in Trolls, too. And this was a podcast is the story of how we got into Trolls, too. This is the backward like breadcrumb trail. You're actually starting at Trolls, too. You watch Trolls, too.

And you said, who are those three Trolls? Those three Trolls, we do. OK, let's set that right now. We do have to be a package deal, right? Yeah, sure. And it doesn't work if you just two or one of them. What are we going to do if two of us are just like background trolls and one of us did something?

We like your heat, Travis. You got a real strong tone. I'm Gumball and I'm going to be in more of a movie than my brother. Justin, listen, it's not working out. I know you love Trumbo, the dumb troll. Trumbo, the famous screamer. Now. So we're going to be in Trolls, too.

We'll probably be Trolls. We might be Bergen's. Well, can I be? We might have a better shot. I'm not going to be the bad trolls. What do they call Bergen's? Is it Candace Bergen's? I think they've ever wrote the movie

but they hated Candace Bergen. I don't know. I don't know how. The thing of it's like, you know, brother versus brother, maybe one of us is a Bergen and two of us are trolls. I don't want to be separated because we're going to shoot on different days. No, it's going to be all three of us.

I'll say this, I'll say this. If both of you died and it was just me and we hadn't made it on Trolls, too, yet, I wouldn't do it because I don't want to do this without you guys. It's all of us or nothing. So you guys don't want to Trolls recap? I mean, not on episode one. We'll do that on episode two.

I think you spend enough time talking about how much we love Trolls this episode. But now I think what we should really dial into is that we're going to be in Trolls, too. Yeah. Watch this space. Do you guys think we're going to get in a musical number? Or do you think?

I'm asking, I don't want fucking jokes in this show. What have we said that's been a joke this whole fucking time? Let me see what I'd be fine with, Justin. As long as we had some speaking line, maybe before we danced. So when people saw us dance, we don't have to sing. You see us dance the musical and we're like, oh, that's so. That's that's not how that's not how animation works, though.

Yeah, like we can't be. They can't see us dancing through the troll. That's why I said we need dialogue first. So you hear our voices. Oh, fuck. In an image. Yeah, that makes sense. It's like, oh, the brothers are in this number, too.

They love me. Yeah. Very much. There's one guy in one of the Trolls who only has two lines. As near as I can tell. What? The first one is there at a Troll's party and that Troll goes yolo. Like that.

And then later he's trying to lift something very heavy with his hair and he yells, your confidence gives me strength. Your confidence gives me strength. And that I feel like that level that could be me. I could take that gig. I'd be fine with one of those lines. I'd be fine just saying yellow. I think I could actually and this would be unprecedented.

This was a joke. I'd love to. What you're about to say seems like it's going to be a joke. It's not. OK. I'd like to be in the movie, but have no lines, but like they'll see a little they'll see Trumbo dancing in the background and be like, his spirit is there's a lot of spirit in it.

It's sort of like how Alan Tudor got credited with playing the chicken in Moana and yet he just has a bunch of macaws and shit. Even those noises, those primitive noises, no, I just kind of I just people will know that I've been there. OK. No, I want to speak a lot. You do. Well, it doesn't have to be a lot, but no, I want to.

A good amount. What if you did a lot of unspoken work until like the very last scene? Your ribs are too chunky over there, bro. It's like a troll that you've never associated with Griffin, but you've seen a lot. And then in the last scene, you're like, that was Griffin the whole time. Yeah. That could be fun. And then the artist, when he talks and you realize like, oh, that's been Mel Gibson

this whole time. We just finished our show. Just being like put a whole fucking shit. Yeah. How have we not set this up? We just finished a show in Portland, Oregon. It was great. Everybody was super cool, but it lasted a long time and in an unrelated note, we did

legal here. And then also we wanted to be in trolls too, very badly. So bad. And then we decided to record a podcast. Fuck it. Eagle-eyed listeners are going to listen to that last part and put together the fuck it. Welcome to Serial 2. Welcome to.

You can put this on your table. This is the Serial 2 cinnamon toast scrunch. So we're going to be in trolls too. We're in it. Is it? I'm nervous. Do you think that they would have to do a play on like the names that people would get over like this is Jumbo, Trumbo, and Gumbo?

That's good. Oh, I see. Or they could just call him Justin, Travis, and Griffin, McRoy, the trolls. The trolls. I don't think any of the trolls have last names. King Peppy, I guess, has two names, but I don't think King is the first name. No, it's the honorific and then the name. Actually, every time, boy, that may be one kid, we could quit.

Do you think we'll do them? Do you think we'll get to it? Like, I guess my question is like, if we do this, if we pull this heist off, when we pull this heist off, what do you think meaning for Jumbo will be like, we've already done it? We met the old JTams. Do you remember? Do you remember when we met Jeffrey Tambor?

No, I remember when Lee Shriver said thank you to that. Tambor didn't come out, did he? No. Well, he's Tambor. No, he came out for a current call. He didn't come out the side door. Yeah, we got, but yeah. Lee Shriver thanked our dad.

Lee Shriver thanked our dad for being just doing him. That would be the best friend. That would be Glenn Garry Glenn Ross. That's a good cast. It's a great cast. Alan Alda? Alan Alda, Jeffrey Tambor, Lee Shriver is a good cast. But as...

Tom Wopat. Tom Wopat, yeah. Tom Wopat. As he was bowing Lee Shriver's mouth, thank you to our dad. Well, that was a thank you. As he was clapping in the front row, and Lee Shriver said no, thank you. So funny, this is a fucking pro. And then that way we, then later we decided to make his TV show synonymous with...

Who gave him the phone? Chris Robinson. What if we, if we pull this off, we, and they know like we got to have that McRoy heat in Trolls 3, we can be like we only do it if Lee Shriver joins us and all of a sudden we've done, we've, we've, we've done him a service. We got him a gig. We got him a gig. Hey, wait, hey, wait, it's Justin and Travis and Griffin.

We sure you're probably wanting to be in Trolls 3, but not really sure how to get into a Trolls movie. Well, good news, we've done all the hard work ahead of time and we know just how to get into a Trolls movie. So like, we'll just help you out. We'll see you on filming for your next season of Ray Donovan Season 6. I feel pretty strongly that like this show should be instructive in so much as if you listen to this show, you should be able to get into Trolls 3.

Like, yeah. Like, if you want to be... There'll be one crowd scene with a billion trolls and they all yell at their mice. We get a billion people listening to this podcast. I'll be very excited. No, I think it'll be like required listening from some entire nation of people. I do want to be in Trolls 2. We'll be, we're in.

We're in it. Some of the things... It's 2020. What do you think... What do you think... It's like 2020 when this podcast takes off because we're in Trolls 2 so fucking good. We didn't have much to go on. Vocal skills, love of the franchise, but not a lot of ends.

Some of the things that we're going to try to do on this podcast, and please listen to it if you have any ideas about how to get into Trolls 2. Our email address is macaroysintrolls2 at gmail.com. But don't make it too easy. Don't just email us and be like, I'm the head of the studio, you're in. Yeah, Todd, DreamWorks. We got a lot of different paths we can go down. We're going to talk to our agent Joel about if he can get us in Trolls 2.

That might be an easy one. I think we can help each other with really active tips about how to get that role in Trolls 2. I've got a pretty tight monologue that I've been doing, that I've been shopping around. No bites yet. I think that we can, listeners should not expect a regularly released podcast. God no. But maybe it's only when we go to live shows and people in particular towns with a certain

set of laws. No, I think it's when we have, I want progress on the case. If we make some progress, even if it's just like talking as maybe it was in Trolls 1, that'll be an episode. It's not going to be regularly released. It's not going to be a regular length either because you may get your length. It's just not going to be regular. Three years from now there will be a 14 second long episode.

It's just us going like, yeah, we did it. We got the part. We're in Trolls 2. That'll be it. That'll be that episode and people will be looking forward to that one. They see a 14 second episode pop in their scrumbler app and they're like, uh-oh, this is it. This is the one.

So we're going to talk to our agent Joel. We're trying to talk. I know we played over, watched The Throne Funch this once, so maybe he'll talk to us about how he got in Trolls 1. I think most of the other stars of the film will be inaccessible to us. We could get a Timberlake by 2020. I'm going to name, okay, this will be fun. This is our fresh minigame on the show.

I'm going to name names of people who are in Trolls 1 and I want you to give me a, again, please no jokes because I want you to simultaneously answer. I want you to give me a percentage chance that they will appear in our podcast. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'll start easy. Russell Brand. Zero percent chance no way.

Okay. Ron Funches. 10. 65. Okay. Good. Good. Justin Timberlake.

100%. That's bullshit. I'm taking juice. Look at me. I'm taking this fucking serious. Thank you. Travis isn't. No.

If we fuck up one of these called shots, then people aren't going to listen to the fucking core premise of the show, which is we're in it. The movie Trolls 2. Yeah. Justin, Justin, look at me. Justin Timberlake will not be on this show. Justin, look at me because I have to say without laughing because you need to hear this set and set out loud.

Justin Timberlake will not be on this podcast. Okay. That's fine. But what about it feels good. When you're doing the pilot. Say that. I'm a foster. A sense of expectation.

I'm thinking the Justin Timberlake will at some point appear on this podcast. You have gone awry. This is a series of unjust. Listen. I'm throwing my mid-2005 like era fucking fedora over the fins right now. I'm saying if Justin Timberlake asks to be on this show at this point, we couldn't get him. We couldn't do it just on an ethical principle. Anna Kendrick. No, Anna Kendrick 185. This fucking has me as well be called. Just a Jarrison Cuffman for me and Schultz too, but he has a star for Schultz too.

We'll not be on this show. Oh shit. In James Corden. How are you not getting this? James Corden. 75. We are like fleeced to them, clinging to their, their, their, their fatty talented high just trying to get nutrients. No, they won't notice that we exist. A lot of the conversation we had that night didn't make much sense. Like I said, edibles. But we knew that there was something there, something we couldn't let go of. Here's our prison dilemma. Okay.

If one of us gets offered one part, the size of three parts, but their brothers can't be in it. Is one of us going to, is one, hey, I promise. Yeah, no, they would say like, oh, if you, if you're in it, you can eat your brother's lines and do your brother's lines and they don't get to be in it. I'm looking at you guys right now and I'm saying if somebody came to me with that offer, I would turn it down. What if your name stay in the credit? Fuck. No. What if you made it to the poster? My character.

That you don't play. Gubbins. What if Gubbins, Bubbins and Jubbins got cut out of the video? Yeah, but it was just Gubbins on there. I was still, guys, look at me, because this podcast is more important to me than being in Trolls 2, which is like a kind of a weird paradox that I can't quite explain. But I'm saying if only one of us was offered it and, or like, we could all three be in it, I'd rather do that. Okay. Yeah, we'll all be in Trolls 2 though.

Yeah. Listen, we'll try to get our dad in Trolls 2, but like, we can't get everybody in Trolls 2. No, that's one thing I actually won't do. We can't get everybody in Trolls 2. If he's in it, it's completely coincidental. He auditioned for it somewhere else. I'm not going to stop him from being in it. Don't tweet at anybody on Trolls.

No, don't tweet until the time comes where we tell you to tweet. Yes, tweet about this show. Okay, if you're listening to this, write a draft, save it for the day of the month in 2020. The Trolls 2 comes out the next day. Tweet about the show. Just start a flood of tweets, because at that point it will be celebratory. Yeah, we need a Mr. Smith. I'm suggesting we may need people to alert the people in Trolls 1 to the existence of this podcast at some point.

They'll know. I just don't want to say anything blanket. I will say, don't harass the people in Trolls 1. No, we have to do this ourselves. Yeah, we got to get into ourselves. And by that, I mean asking all the people we know to please help us. Please help us get in Trolls 2. Should we wrap up, you think?

Yeah. I guess in closing, one of the segments we do every week, every episode, we pitch what kind of character we want to play in Trolls 2. Mine this week is Stinkers. He works in the Trolls sewer, but all the dookies smells like cotton candy or whatever. And that's mine this week. Mine is going to be something I can reasonably expect. My character is just like a rag of muffin, one of three, who has maybe one line about snails, huh? And that's like my one line.

What's his name? Mine? Mine is just Troll number 18. Yeah, that's good. That's realistic. Mine is named Judy Ruliani. And I think you can figure out who this is a fun sort of parent, who I sort of take the piss out of with this character. I'm really going to push it.

I wish I could still Rudy Johnny's piss. That's a corp. What is that? What is that expected to get? It's a corp line in Trolls 2. Oh yeah, we'll talk about that in the next episode. Yeah, my idea is for Judy Ruliani to piss Taker. All right.

That's a wrap. That's a wrap. We'll see in Trolls 2. See in Trolls 2. See in the picture. It all seems so simple back then. Just get into Trolls 2. Of course, as you know by now, that's exactly what we did.

But how we did it and what happened next was a mystery to us now because it hasn't happened yet. But we assume it does next time on The Macquarie Brothers Will Be in Trolls 2. The Macquarie Brothers Will Be in Trolls 2 is a co-production of The Macquarie Brothers and Big Giant Head. Our theme song is Troll of the Mountain Swing by the Underscore Orchestra. My name is Justin McRoy and thank you for listening to The Macquarie Brothers Will Be in Trolls 2. Brought to you by MailJump, I guess.
