[00:00:48] Ian and Graham have been kind enough to come back on the podcast and help me finish off Sitcom September in style But we are discussing the absolutely huge Sitcom that is, it's always sunny in Philadelphia

[00:01:01] This is a truly unique Sitcom that has been going for over 20 years and has an approach to comedy Unlike anything else out there. My self, Ian and Graham are all fans and I had a great time discussing this

[00:01:14] We of course discuss the characters, our favourite moments, episodes and so on And with it being such a long running show there is so much to discuss Really this conversation just kind of goes all over the place. I absolutely love talking with these guys

[00:01:29] It's so much fun getting together with them and there is just a whole bunch of really interesting and insightful things that they bring to this discussion As well as a healthy dose of wild and absolutely brilliant off topic discussion So make sure you stick around for that

[00:01:44] Right, that's enough from me Let's get on with the episode This is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia with Ian Harries and Graham Jones Hello Ian and Graham and welcome back to the fundamentals podcast. How's it going? Glad to be back

[00:02:09] Yeah, it's all good man. It's so lovely to see you guys again after what has been nearly a year since we last recorded But hasn't been a year Yeah, well I mean this so your episode came out Start this year January but we've recorded it in December

[00:02:23] Yes, so yeah, it's getting close getting close but yeah, I mean I'll say this to you now and I'm not saying it just because you're here But genuinely one of my favorite conversations I've ever had on this show You know last time we were chatting

[00:02:38] One of the most insane edits I've ever done for short Good bad movies and then when it came to doing sitcoms and stuff I got chatting to you guys And after listening to your show for so long

[00:02:49] This just felt like a great fit. It's talk about always sunny, so yeah, absolutely thrilled to have you guys back Up the good bed move I remember I was in I was in a random car park at states as all good story start You

[00:03:03] You were editing the podcast and you messaged me just with like which of these Pinocchio quotes was it And I'm starting to get a car for listening to these really weird quotes are very bad Pinocchio movie

[00:03:18] And my partner walked over and it's just what you doing it's like I'm listening to Pinocchio quotes This like but this one and then said the line is like yes, that's that's the line we're looking for The dedicated

[00:03:32] Yes, it can't be. Oh absolutely dedicated and I appreciate it. Yeah, that was insane If you've not listened to that and you're listening to this episode, please go back because Chaos is all about that glorious

[00:03:45] Glorious so much fun so much fun. I think I even re-round a clip in another episode recently because you guys triggered something in my brain Ah, glorious, but um yeah, we're here to talk about something that I don't think is in the good bad category right?

[00:03:59] It's just good. I think that's safe to say so To kick us off. I'm gonna throw it to you guys what was your introduction to always sunny in Philadelphia I don't actually remember it just seems because it's been going for where are we like 18 years or something ridiculous

[00:04:16] Like it just seems to have always been there Yeah, it must have been net I'm fairly sure it was early days of Netflix and kind of I didn't

[00:04:26] Pick up on it until it was probably about four or five seasons in just sort of binging that and then waiting for the next one to drop But yeah, it's just one of those ones

[00:04:37] It's also weird because it's one of the my favorite sitcoms but I've got like a there's a A few sitcoms where I kind of just go back to them. I watch them all the way through and then I'll finish that one and watch there

[00:04:51] So like the often there's parks and wreck community tend to be the three-theron rotation yep Because this hasn't finished it's never made it into that rotation so actually only have other than seeing the odd repeat I've never actually I've only watched kind of everything

[00:05:07] What the odd one I've seen more than once and I'm sure we'll get on to that yeah, but like typically I've only any kind of watch these These once and I'm sure if this ever finishes it will make its way into the rotation

[00:05:21] But yeah, as I say just kind of it fills and it's kind of I guess because I'm in my mid-30s now It's kind of like a you know grown up with it which is also kind of weird as well

[00:05:33] Because it's not the kind of show that you put it into a Have those your baromits for for Greg as a human being and I don't

[00:05:44] Yeah, there's not a lot of growth in the characters in this show. So yeah, yeah, you relate if you're still relating to the Minu-30s seek help Yeah, I

[00:05:54] So I the opposite I remember exactly where I was when I first watched it because I can't answer when I became aware of it's always sunny Because similar to Greg it's always sunny just well always seem to be there

[00:06:08] And it's something that people had always referenced and it was a you'd like it, but it was quite difficult to track down if memory serves currently So I was on a flight to Boston and

[00:06:21] You know that awkward end of a flight where there's not enough time to watch a film Yeah, so I'd watch my films and then there was like an hour left

[00:06:30] I went through the TV shows they had and they had a single episode of it's always sunny on there So it was the one where I have a feeling it was like maybe their hundredth episode where

[00:06:42] They're in a convenient store and it gets robbed and they all go through Their dream as how they would have stopped it and like Max is like a kung fu movie and I think one of them turns into A kitchen seek drama and it's all very very weird

[00:06:59] But that was the first episode I watched and it was on a plane coming down into a Boston at the time was like 42 degrees Which is the hottest place I've been and I'm not happy that the hottest place I've been was Boston

[00:07:14] But yeah, so that was that was the first watch But I I great is hit it So I'll rewatch it. I've I'll always watch it when I'm on the exercise bike at the gym

[00:07:26] So I'll just pick a random episode and go for them. But there are episodes of this I've seen Too many times Well that's great for our purpose It's a funny one. I think you when you say about the rewatch fact to there

[00:07:41] I think you both hit upon something that I like your point actually go in yeah because it hasn't finished it's like yeah, you Doing a full rewatch every time I don't know and and it's quite a lot of episodes I'm just checking it here now it's 172

[00:07:56] So even if you were to do it right up to now and the most recent season I think's just made it on to Netflix over here in the UK so I've yet to capture that That's a big big rewatch

[00:08:09] And I think the nature of it as well the nature of the show Being that it's it's not a sort of progressive story. It's one of those sitcoms that I've since learned doing this series It's like it's the sign-felt approach basically. It's the antithesis of hugs and learning

[00:08:24] It's like no one learns anything the status quo pretty much remains So the characters never really grow even though they you know that you say it's been around for 18 years Their lives are basically the same for when they start so when it comes rewatching

[00:08:39] That kind of works in its favor because it means you can just pick a random episode watch it And you're not going oh wait where are you in the story who's sleeping with who or whatever You're just kind of like it's the gang doing a thing

[00:08:50] I'm gonna just jump straight in in preparation for this because I take guesting seriously I rewatch the first episode if it's always sunny Wow, okay and It's it is a shock Because oh yes, I'm just looking up. Yeah, that's right because But it's just because like there

[00:09:14] And I mean this in the nicest possible way because some of the like season 10 has an episode We will have to talk about because I love it that much like there are later season 12

[00:09:24] See you know they're incredible like TV defining episodes in this show yeah, but they've become character tours of themselves Yeah, and I'm completely fine with that the first season they're just bad people Like yes normal like Charlie like It's not made a big deal that he's a literate

[00:09:47] You know max not definitely definitely yay Yeah, Dennis doesn't look like he's a serial killer. They're just normal people but bad people yeah and yeah You then watch a later season it's like oh this is an entirely different show now

[00:10:04] Yeah, oh and there's no doubt to veto which is a shock as well Yeah, because he yeah, he didn't join until season two Hmm Which I have questions about I don't know how much you guys know about the behind the scenes of this

[00:10:18] I'm aware that there's like a rewatch podcast one of the many rewatch podcasts that now exist Because of this and I know they were quite heavily involved, you know

[00:10:26] They've right a lot of the show as much as they do you know star in it as well. So I'd imagine they're Quite passionate and they're quite open about Early days and kicking off here. I don't know if you guys know much about that

[00:10:37] I'm not sure I think they basically I think it was a To make it more bankable they were told they had to get a like a name in Okay, Danny to veto liked the idea of playing someone just Repugnitely disgusting Right, and the other thing was that

[00:10:57] It the idea of him being Deand Dennis's dad when he looks like he does and they look like them He's really good sort of visual gag as well Yeah, yeah, that's also true

[00:11:10] It's something I do admire about it particularly the whole like yeah, down in the veto joining in I mean we do talk characters banks around but yeah him as Frank Reynolds I think is brilliant and It is yeah it turns out getting bankable stars

[00:11:23] It makes sense he's a big name in comedy But yeah, and it's just funny. I always want to have that question in my head of like this guy

[00:11:32] Does not need to work ever again like so he's clearly in this because he either likes the cast or likes the idea of You say in just playing one of the most disgusting little grubby people on the planet and just has a absolute kick out of just

[00:11:48] Doing ridiculous things and to his credit He goes for it, you know some of the scenes and some of the stuff they get him doing in this show Like my mind instantly thinks of him just bursting out for so feel like all grief stuff in naked

[00:12:01] Just how like horrible that is to watch and you're like He could he could have just said no. I'm not doing that and they would have gone fair enough or find something else But he's like oh yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it. I don't care the tone

[00:12:15] Just so nice rub rub Yeah Yeah, do you see Benching with babish did It's always sunny Episode why he's done two where he tried oh, he tries to remake Food from it's always sunny and he makes rumham

[00:12:37] He he try he does it like the show and then does tries to make a version of it that's good Okay, he also does a milk steak with a side of raw jelly beans Which I think is quite good Charlie orders for a fancy restaurant in the episode

[00:12:53] But it wouldn't be I can't think of I think of I think what makes a good show Is when you can't imagine any other person in it oh? Yeah, and yeah out of all of all of these guys there's It wouldn't work with anyone else especially Danny divito

[00:13:11] Like if they yeah if they didn't get him in I don't think it would have become What it did but also Credit to everyone else like Charlie Day is incredible raw back-al-hennies. Yeah, sorry Rexams own raw-pamackel-hennies is incredible over like

[00:13:27] Cake-cake but also blend out of the ice. It's yeah, it's Redible and sample cast that just kind of Get each other as well Yes, it's it's weird It's so weird Would you on the day into the open as well mean could you genuinely could you think of another

[00:13:51] Comedy actor in their 70s that would do any of this that's what I mean Just like you like you say that he has no reason to do other than a Love of the the show I guess but I yeah, I just can't imagine you know

[00:14:06] I'm just trying to wreck my brains of someone and kind of fix that You know it kind of reminds me a bit of the episode world up in the last episode I did of this we talked about the show raising hope and if you see that I

[00:14:20] I haven't no It's very funny and they've got This actress in it who's okay this like she's been around for decades. She's in her of 70s and she plays this like

[00:14:32] Crazy dementia ridden like grandma who just comes out with absolutely ridiculous stuff and says and does things that are at times Grotesque and you know In saying but they're very funny and it's the same kind of thing of is is chlorist leechman's the actress and it's

[00:14:48] The same thing of like she doesn't need to do this But she just clearly enjoyed it and was like yeah, I'm game for anything and it's kind of the same attitude

[00:14:55] I think with the end of you to it's just like like you said these sort of older actors that They don't need to do this sort of thing like they're not hard at for cash

[00:15:03] But they're just like yeah, do you know what it's fun stick some stilt song me? Let me run around naked on a beach or like whatever it is. I'm gonna do in this one or you know Point guns at people on as I'm on a couch

[00:15:14] Like being interviewed and just play an absolutely insane character just for their hell of it The the closest stuff that I would to find is so Steve Martin is the same age as death Steve Martin Is he just Danny DeVeater? Yeah, they're about 70 years old

[00:15:29] Steve Martin is 70 years old He's looked about 60 for like the last four years. I think this is His hair turned white. I think when he was and this isn't a joke when he was like early 20s So I think he is just I've always assumed he's 50

[00:15:49] But yeah, that's what ever yeah, whether it is the jerk or whether it is only murderous in the building or whatever Yeah, always Right

[00:16:00] Yeah, it doesn't help there is most prominent role as like five of the bride as well right which is definitely just a man and his 50s Yeah

[00:16:11] My point being is that like you couldn't imagine Steve Martin getting naked in firsting out nor do I want to firsting out of a safe No Hey, hey for say some people you never ever have a third with for the With all respect

[00:16:29] Could imagine Steve Martin's mate doing it Right Martin short Yes, yeah, oh yeah, I can see that sure Maybe the the correct abs maybe is Daniel Radcliffe in 40 years

[00:16:45] Yes, oh 100% yeah, I have so much time for Daniel Radcliffe which is a phrase. I think I say daily at this point I genuinely had this conversation for my wife like two days ago

[00:16:56] It's the same thing as I have I have no love or care for the Harry Potter films whatsoever But him as an actor I'm like fascinating to me Again, this the same thing of like you don't need to do this you're doing this out of choice

[00:17:09] And I love it and I can't wait to see what you do not have to be his agent just like all right Yeah, so we got this film come through you were guy who has guns bolted to his hands You call with that

[00:17:22] You know the worrying thing is that was the exact exact film I was about to give the same Same intro You guys spent so much time All right, so Peac-in to our lives Ian was over a minor Friday. We've played Madden on the PlayStation and

[00:17:43] He's got a touchdown which made to the game 42 24 and without missing a beat we both turned to each other and said that's a palandromic score And then both sides Because we realized we are basically one person Yeah Well that the the weirdest one was still

[00:18:05] It and we we have it recorded for preparing It was on the podcast but yeah at exactly the same time to the point I think people think we edited it We both went and again the timing the same Good all robot was Yeah It was so weird

[00:18:31] But also and then there's the good old robots I've robot horses great. I agree with the sentence Absolutely yeah, love for a horse I found out this is a weird tangent but I found out like

[00:18:44] In my adulthood that um my dad had been trying to get tickets for us to go and see it And he got so close to doing it. I think Basically, but at the time he got round to trying to buy them they finished the series for good

[00:18:57] And he was absolutely crushed his and I only find it. He obviously waited 10 years We told makers that's the time my team is You know, okay with it yeah

[00:19:08] Any sooner or not would have been it has won anything one of my favorite moments on TV as a robot was where the kid There's some kids against some like grown adults and it's still like a time breaker and they give it to the kids

[00:19:21] The grown man kind of just slams his controller down so I love his most And it's just I mean Oh you never can come back from that surely You know Daniel the comedian Daniel songs I'm fairly sure his dad got banned from robot Because like

[00:19:44] He covered it in one of his stand-ups. I can't remember which one it is but yeah Did some reading into it because you know when a comedian tells something it's like this eight true is it

[00:19:54] Yeah, so I think his dad was like something to do with like like and Like oil drilling engineer or something and basically attached like a diamond tipped

[00:20:06] Oil buying drill to the front of a robot and the project yeah, I've heard that story. Yeah, it was just like you can't do this I think they have to take it off which just left like a Basically a remote control car

[00:20:21] Yeah, and it was like this could have been like this is this is illegal on so many gloves But there's a very a very and I mean really at least approximately I'll get anyway, but there's a very young

[00:20:34] Daniel slur slur sort of an old episode of robot was with his battered robot that no longer has a drill on it That's phenomenal anyway always selling yes, we're talking about always sunny to robots Obviously, oh, you know, yeah obvious obvious obvious obvious connections

[00:20:53] It's fine. I embrace the pantheon I used a panic and think oh we're going off to offer it. I was like okay, is it's fine? Just a podcast You're all here Anyway, yeah, but no, he's going back to it. I think

[00:21:04] I'd you say I love that aspect of it if the guest up, but I think you're right. It's an important one to address right because I think it's one of those things and in other sitcoms it's been noted when a studio kind of says we need

[00:21:20] You know someone bankable to put on the poster or whatever And how that can fundamentally change the tone or the style of a sitcom IE the later seasons of the US office, you know as one that often gets talked about

[00:21:33] But I feel like in this one like you said Danny to be at a joins as we've said He kind of just does whatever because he's get clearly gained for it And it it definitely works

[00:21:44] Doesn't it in terms of like carrying on the show and like furthering the tone? It doesn't seem to have in any way Drag it down or change it drastically as you go as you said earlier. It's like it just seems to help

[00:21:54] either so long kind of gone that because The instances where it hasn't worked is like Chevy Chase in community where he just took everything Far right seriously all became about him and then obviously the whole thing where he ended up leaving

[00:22:10] And there's a definite decline whilst he was a great character His personality was too big for the show and actually it suffered as a result of when he left You don't get that would

[00:22:19] Danny to be over this I mean you couldn't have if if you're being asked to do the stuff that Frank Reynolds does Screen you couldn't have someone who takes the two seriously those two things just would not work at all But I think I think the

[00:22:36] Very good thing with it as well is not just Danny to be told with the character of Frank Reynolds Because yes with Frank there You no longer have to explain why the bar is still rubbing Hmm because Frank is

[00:22:52] Bank rolls everything because if he wasn't there because they touched on it in the the very first episode like I said I really watched and

[00:22:59] They keep mentioning how much money they're bringing in and how it's the most because the first episode is they accidentally become a gay bar

[00:23:07] Yeah, yeah, and they're like oh this is the most money we've made in ages we were struggling before and like if they didn't have that Thank roll Would that have become the main

[00:23:18] through fair of them trying to make the bar successful and it just feels like it would have become a different show While having Frank there allows them to just go you don't quite you don't ask how they could afford

[00:23:31] Random playing tickets to do a drinking competition on a plane across the US Like you don't you don't ask or have they can randomly rent a coach or you know that kind of thing

[00:23:41] Yeah, so it keeps it I think for from a story point of view as well. I think that character is really important Yeah, I totally agree it definitely is a nice and I never thought about like that but actually when you when you split it that way

[00:23:54] Yeah, it's a nice way of getting a range That obstacle for sure And it does explain a lot as to why basically Dennis and dear the way that they are on as well. Yeah goes a long way the actual sporting down for fur from the true No

[00:24:12] Add my pieces My gun oh I started blasting back Wow, I don't see so good. So I missed and they ran away. I ran after Okay, trying to shoot him in the back, but I don't want so good either Anyway

[00:24:27] You guys all think I'm a hero and I'll accept that responsibility. I mean speaking of yeah, it just as you said the rest of the cast in this if phenomenal I just pick him on a random. I mean Glenn Howard and as as Dennis

[00:24:41] One of the most frightening but also hilarious characters I've ever seen in a comedy like it's something you were alluded to earlier And I think it's the strength of a good sitcom is like understanding as they go

[00:24:53] Okay, this is through the character areas and then just leaning into that The place is Glenn Howard and goes That's Frequently crosses a line. We're like oh no now I'm at any scared It's not what he says it's it's the implication Very good very good Oh

[00:25:17] But purpose of buying the boat the first place was to get the looos nice and tipsy top sides And we can take him to a nice comfortable place below deck and you know they can't refuse Because of the implication Oh, okay

[00:25:31] You have me going there for the first part the second half kind of throw me will do dude think about it She's out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows you know she looks around or what is she seeing nothing but open ocean

[00:25:41] There's nowhere for me to run. What am I gonna do? Say no Okay That seems really dark now. I'm not sorry you misunderstood and we broke I think yeah, you are because if the girl said no then the answer obviously is no

[00:25:55] The thing is she's not gonna say she would never say no because of the implication Night you've said that weren't an implication a couple of times what what implication

[00:26:07] The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me now not the things are gonna go wrong for her But she's thinking that they will but it sounds like she doesn't want to have

[00:26:17] Why are you understanding I don't she she doesn't know whether she wants to have sex with me It's that she doesn't know the issues. Are you gonna? I'm not gonna hurt those women

[00:26:25] Why would I ever hurt these women? I don't know you're not getting this at all. I'm not getting God damn Well, don't you look at me like that you certainly wouldn't be in any danger so they are in danger no one's in any danger

[00:26:36] How could I make that any more clear to you okay? It's an implication of danger You know what just drop let's drop you might just find your I mean my mind just flashes to him with like I think I can't remember the context of why but it's just

[00:26:50] Him and a room doing a presentation and it just ends and I think there's some writing on the wall It's like I can't afford it. It's something to do. It's just like sex or something really weirdly explicit behind him

[00:27:01] And he's just stare into the audience and it's just how that moment ends and it hangs for like a good two minutes Which is deeply uncomfortable. Be like yeah, this is who this character is like he's just terrifying as you say It's the implication

[00:27:14] Oh, I should have made a note of this because of course this would come up But the Dennis system. Yeah Yes, oh my goodness Like it remembers it ends with separate entirely and then you'd do all the run down I had it my notes

[00:27:36] Oh, yeah, because there's also the max system right Yes, which max what is basically in moving after Moving after Present the Dennis system is Demonstrate value. Oh Lord engage physically Merch of dependence neglect emotionally and spy a hope and then separate entirely Oh But I love it

[00:28:10] Some of the favorite scenes from all ways suddenly involved them with flip charts. Yeah, but the crazy thing is it's like yeah to get maybe a little bit too

[00:28:21] Real like this is this was played out as horrific comedy like I mean when did the Dennis episode come out like Five six years ago something like that it was it's in five yeah, so like two thousand two five right so like 13 years ago and now

[00:28:38] There's all of this awful stuff like the Andrew Tates and everything of the world and it's like yeah It's kind of crazy that this was lampooned as like something that was completely out of this world The reason it was kind of funny is because it was

[00:28:55] It was lampooning the type of people that would be like this and you know also It was caricature of that to a degree yeah, and then now we're just in this world that is just kind of like it's

[00:29:08] It was I don't know maybe ahead of its time but it's it's kind of depressing to a degree We're not going to kind of down on the dumps about things, but I don't know

[00:29:16] It's kind of and I think they do this a lot right there's a lot of the stuff that is really shocking is actually Lampooning how awful certain people are in society rather than then playing it out for the sake of

[00:29:28] You know trying to kind of as a kind of gross out human which obviously is to a degree, but I think there's there's definitely like the subtext of Kind of a bit of a societal commentary as well

[00:29:41] Back up real yeah, I agree yeah, well the shirt does as you say It was something I thought we were talking about because It feel like it's satire and observation as you say, but in a way that Is often as you said extreme or like it's pushing things

[00:30:00] But then it's it's that kind of weird thing of life in matating art sometimes and I think you're right Especially when you watch back because as you say that was like yeah 2009 you guys intend that came out

[00:30:10] And then you 13 years on your like that's not aged badly if anything that's just more relevant like frighteningly So and there's a lot of examples like that of issues that they tackle early on and obviously They're not presenting these guys as the solution or being correct in anywhere

[00:30:28] Like if you read the show like that you've grossly misunderstood the point I believe but as you say it's it's satire ages work. I've just come on I've scrolled a little bit further down the episode notes and we all said we forgot

[00:30:43] Frank system which is scrap which is scrap which is not an acronym Oh Oh my lord So much good stuff but I mean yeah just as a character about he just Yeah absolutely terrifying like

[00:31:12] Just playing I think as get as you say like because we're more aware now of things like this unfortunately Him basically playing like a psychopathic narcissist

[00:31:24] But to absolute perfection yeah, it just works and I think credits are the guy because it's just hilarious like there's so much to I always really enjoy the running gag later on where

[00:31:35] It because of his the his mindset but the fact that he is genuinely convinced that he is the most attractive human on the planet And he will not hear it from anybody else and it's obviously we get later on in the season where

[00:31:47] Rob McElhenny is back just gets absolutely shredded and and Every opportunity Dennis is like trying to put him down physically and be like no no you don't look like this like I am a god

[00:31:58] Didn't you are he's like what and you just it just that running gag I really enjoyed of like dude No, I think he's pretty less than when he went when Rob McElhenny just decided to get fat for like two seasons

[00:32:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and also was he kind of made the point of need because there was the whole thing about As as Rob McElhenny It was interviewed about it and he was like yeah, I mean it's really easy

[00:32:23] I don't know why more people don't get in this kind of shape or you need is like tons of money a personal trainer a personal chef etc. Yeah because it was him and Not not sure if you actually stopped really a sicker

[00:32:39] Cumelnan journey the guy from Silicon Valley he got shredded for Your tunnels and but so both of them at the same time sick compounds get ripped Yeah, and they did a load of stuff out if like no this is really toxic I hate every minute

[00:32:56] He was in that had the yeah Mark will burglow that had the like ridiculous schedule Like he woke up at yeah gets about four yeah Amazing all in like I won't get 35 minutes and ends up in bed by six or 30

[00:33:11] So yeah, wake up at four go to the gym say hide the kids five prey at half four breakfast at six

[00:33:16] Dream it's yeah, it's like why do this if you go to bed at six you could do all this three hours later and still get to bed at night Yeah, yeah, or just you know take a bunch of animals and you know do it that way

[00:33:30] Which I'm I'm sure none of them do that But also like you know Talking of people you don't want to aspire to be Mark wallburns pretty He's up there with Dennis it's true

[00:33:44] Yeah, maybe not as bad up but who knows I say that and next week something could come out so Let's Swifley move away from that he lost me at the best friends with Seth McFar Fair enough Yeah, no Oh man that's incredible

[00:34:04] He's just he's definitely up there in terms of I think he he leads the charge in the recurring gag that comes with the entire cast of Ruining people's lives and just moving on like nothing's happened and then completely forgetting they exist

[00:34:20] Like the sheer amount of women that have been left Devastated in the wake of the Dennis system is just one of them There's you know that it's a whole host of recurring characters that just keep popping up and he definitely

[00:34:31] Plows the way forward of just like who are you what no? I'm carrying this the whole episode which is done like making a murder Because he He's dating the woman who becomes a cat Yeah, that's right

[00:34:47] She ends up dying yeah, she ends up dying and I think it ends up because she fell off a wall or something weird like that Yeah, but there are groups of because I think like Their security can footage of Dennis just sitting there

[00:35:01] Perfect. Yeah, still for like six hours or something It's the The right joke that he is almost definitely a serial killer Yeah, yeah Talking like it has got I know I guess you've got the benefit of running for such a long time

[00:35:18] But it's got such a good cast of recurring characters as well outside of the sort of main principle So I obviously all of the book coils you've got Max dad Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah, just in there's the waitress Who is married to Charlie? Right. Yeah

[00:35:42] Yeah, because she she's right back in episode one. Yeah Yeah, I always assume she came in later, but yeah, right the first thing that the first scene is then Drinking outside her cafe Because Charlie wants to talk to the waitress

[00:36:01] Yeah, and even in there's isn't it like an episode later on where you find out that like Charlie Is sort of stalking her but in a way that is actually really helpful. Yes, you can juice of to her Yeah, he takes a rubbish out like a week

[00:36:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah, like she's just like all the stuff keeps happening to me. Why is it? It's like oh, it's because Charlie's not bothering you around anymore Because Like wait what there's also an episode that has He ends up hooking up with a character play by Alexandra

[00:36:32] The Dorio the Dorio yeah, yeah, and just to make the waitress jealous And it is so funny It's because it ends with Just very perfectly telling it's like no, I'm doing this to make a jealous. I don't care about you I will never care about Sorry

[00:36:57] I want you back in my life Do you really mean that? Yeah, I Need you Okay, I'll be right there awesome. I'm out here. What are you talking about? I'm leaving. I'm going to be with waitress

[00:37:13] She's the woman I love no, but I I wasn't using you like Charlie was he's a total Oh, I really really really like you oh Yeah, I know

[00:37:24] Okay, I was using you that's why I kissed you and from the waitress. That's why I banged you a bunch of times Just to make the waitress jealous amazing you slept with me almost instantly and by the way

[00:37:33] A quality woman doesn't do that she doesn't say yes right away She says no to a man for years like 10 years That's what a real woman does okay. You know you're acting like stupid little rich slut and that's all that you are

[00:37:46] Okay, you did it to me. Are you still talking go away? I'm done go run and hide go for me I'm gonna see Women right oh man all right cool. I'm out. Oh man it's brutal. It's so brutal

[00:38:02] Yeah, there's so many of them in here as well. It's even at what's the yeah, it's one other one Another guy that plays a waiter as well as a whole. We're kind of waitress

[00:38:11] And neither one you learn their first name. It's just that's who they are and they do think what I'm Using the other same sort of character sage. Do you think they're ever gonna name the waitress? Now at this point you for two fog off episode surely

[00:38:27] Maybe last episode maybe they'll uh they'll challenge her it and we work now if it is actually her Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree that that would be a great guy Yeah, like Charlie thinks her names like Sue or something and then it's Mary

[00:38:41] Yeah, well like just you know he's got it completely wrong and then none of them actually know I think that would make more sense You also have to recurry it might be the same guys the waiter actually But there's a solicitor they keep visiting Yes

[00:38:57] And then we time they see him his job title is lower and lower because they've screwed up Then he might end up as a waiter I think you might be right. Yeah, as you say they're just so many crickets definitely I think that the absolute um

[00:39:17] I don't know what the word is he's like the he's the personification of all the stuff they've done Right, yeah, he's the right looking for because he's yeah, that's that's what he's start off as a priest Yes, and then he ends up as Basically a homeless jiggle

[00:39:32] Yeah, a horrifically burned I'm like With one eye and he's addicted to crack or something and you just like his life just get sad or and sad every time you see him

[00:39:45] And it's and again, it's that recurring gag of like none of them taking accountability or even acknowledging his existence at times Or they'll just turn up like you did this and they're like what are you talking about? No, he didn't and they just carry on Nothing happens

[00:39:57] The one time they try to take accountability was the whole yeah the gang squashes the beef And they try to make them to everyone that they did wrong and that ends up with them setting the apartment on fire and nailing everybody inside

[00:40:14] Yeah, yeah, so I'm nailing the door shut with everyone inside this like that's all Yeah, yeah, yeah, that takes care of that Oh, it's amazing Um, and we yeah feel about some background like Charlie Day. I mean he's top cast here just next to Glenhards and

[00:40:34] I kind of feel like the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of Dennis right like worries like Dennis is like Basically a socio-pathic narcissistic serial killer like for definite you know Charlie Day is just this sort of He plays this really innocent

[00:40:50] Kind of I don't know how to describe him He just there's just something kind of like a bullet bite and even though he is by definitions of bad person like he does bad stuff and gets things wrong

[00:41:01] He's kind of harmless right. I feel like he's just never is he's like his teenager still He's in his mid four. Yeah, he's been still a teenager Yeah, well the thing Charlie's got for him as well is He's the only

[00:41:18] And it's time to talk about that episode is the only person who Actually shows that he's good at his job Yeah, yeah, that's true the Charlie work episode Which I strongly believe is one of the best episode like best sitcom episodes so good ever

[00:41:36] Which is where there's the gang are trying to do like an air mile slash stake scam while the health inspector is coming to Check out the episode and If anyone's listened to our podcast they know that I'm a I'm a fan of a good one take

[00:41:59] And the whole middle of the episode is one shot of Charlie showing this health inspector around While all of this wild stuff is happening behind them, but They then pass the health thing and nobody cares He's the only one to keep the bar running and

[00:42:16] Nobody else cares about it by the end of the episode and it's just it like I don't think innocence to write word because he has his victims Like there are there are

[00:42:28] But yeah, I think Graham hit the nail on the head. I think like I would even say teenager I would say child Yeah, he's like uh I look what he did He did something silly

[00:42:41] Yeah, and also just as an actor like Charlie Charlie Dave seems like obviously take away from Think day to meters probably Separate to this but He's the one that seems to have done the most outside of it's always sunny as well

[00:42:56] I don't know yeah, but what that's true And a reason but I guess he's not involved in the writing right so maybe he's got a bit more time as hands together I think he I think well He is okay. I thought it was the other guy

[00:43:07] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, maybe he's just It seems to be pretty even kill from what I can gather from IMDB I think like Charlie Dave wrote the first episode

[00:43:20] Yeah, but I know what you mean there it's true. I was thinking about the earlier like in terms of outside of this body of work You're absolutely right. He's the one I've seen pop up in more stuff

[00:43:30] I think I've seen Glenn Howard and I remember him in the first season of Fargo and it's like the only other thing I think I've seen him in and gone like hey, it's Dennis you know

[00:43:38] But I think it's kind of the curse the gift and the curse right of being and such a successful show like this It's like It's very very hard for you to break out of just being that character from that show

[00:43:48] Yeah, I mean you look at like the friend's cast right probably Like right exactly Kind of the only ones that yeah, yeah really went on. I guess David trim is done a few bits and pieces here And I like I

[00:44:02] This is a thing I think maybe exclusive to sitcoms but where you use the character name an act today It's changed a bit which is also fine. Yeah, it's always sunny. Yes, apart from Glenn They're all day very names That's true

[00:44:17] To be fair I get it he did say that he the reason that he didn't want to be called Glenn is because he wanted to distance himself from Dennis as much as possible That completely makes sense like talking of names

[00:44:32] The best this thing and I will choose this randomly as my hill to die on The single funniest thing in always sunny is like this like later season reveal of what max full name is Ronald McDonald's Yes, like they just drop it into an episode randomly Wow

[00:45:05] Yeah, it's just it is so childish But yeah, max it's incredible max actual full name is Ronald McDonald's Oh my goodness me Uh, I'm probably not gonna wear mine Who wears the name tag right that's not I'm gonna wear mine

[00:45:23] I'm seeing everybody else wearing their name tags so just pop that on buddy nobody calls me this anymore And I feel like it's gonna confuse people It's not because everybody calls you that in high school

[00:45:32] Pop it on because it's definitely ruled they're not gonna let you inside without it's been so long It's probably not even my name legally you're gonna have to pop it on Okay, good Well, okay Ronald McDonald's call me yeah, what's your name?

[00:45:59] That's amazing that's so good. I get genuinely forgot that was the case But it makes sense as well it just fits the character because let me speak it off Yeah, I Don't know I feel like he's somewhere weirdly in between the other two

[00:46:16] Right like you can be really arrogant and self-centered but he's also incredibly stupid See, I so I would put rock makkelhennie as the teenager Because the whole thing yeah exactly like graved just said I just called it rock bangle heavy the weather call him mad

[00:46:34] A lot of the bad stuff Mac does is to impress Dennis Yeah, yes, like he's always trying to like He just wants to be like there's also a weird kind of like ignorance to the world as well

[00:46:48] Isn't just in so many things he just doesn't understand that this is not the way the world works for one reason or another Yeah, well like evolution yeah Like that that whole that whole Reddolls first Reddolls episode is incredible Oh goodness yeah, it's brilliant it's brilliant

[00:47:12] Yeah, and again another one like we didn't we mentioned it the physical performance as well to be fair like the whole like Just chucking on loads of weight and then getting super shredded and like does that doing that in between seasons is like

[00:47:24] Just just a commit to a joke as well like the whole joke for those two seasons is him going I'm acquiring mass and he kind of think yeah, he's just gonna be fat and then like out of nowhere one season

[00:47:34] He's suddenly super rich you're like whoa, where did that go? You know what the Like the matter side of the weight gain it So he basically said like When Traditionally in sitcoms like friends I think he specifically said friends the cast get more and more

[00:47:52] I believe it'd be beautiful this the season goes on So he was like yeah, yeah, funny if they just suddenly got like really fat was like I'm just gonna get really

[00:48:03] Because I'm assuming you guys you guys thought the same I thought it was a fat suit the first like the first episode Oh, yeah, that's quite funny and then

[00:48:13] I don't know if he took his t-shirt off or anything but like that's not a fat suit unless like prosthetics have got Yeah, yeah, I think there's it might be the end of one of the seasons. I think the last season where he looks like that

[00:48:29] And like they're okay, uh, score reunions yes And he's just got his belly hanged yeah sure and yeah, you're like you're like nope that is that is a real human body He committed to that you think fair play

[00:48:43] And I enjoy the mess in this as well and then I think Because he's still shredded, but he's not as shredded as The episode he was shredded in I've said shred of two really toes, but you don't want me

[00:48:56] I don't even apparently I think for the reason he had to get so shredded was At the end of that season They did so it's when mac kid come out as gay

[00:49:13] Yeah, and the end of that season he was trying to figure out how to tell his dad He was gay and want that meant and how he felt and things like that and he does it through dance

[00:49:28] And the whole episode is building up to he's gonna do a dance in prison for his dad Explain why he's gay and you're you're like pre-cringing for it because it's mac

[00:49:42] And we've and then the episode stops being funny and it is just like a deadly ordering of beautiful five minutes of tv Of him doing this dance and then his dad leaves but you cut into mac uh to Frank

[00:49:57] And it's filmed really cinematically like nothing out of the thing before and it's just him saying I get it and then the episode ends It's like that's not funny anymore Very serious as happens, but To do some of the lifts in that he had to be really really

[00:50:17] Like peak physical fitness to get that hold dance. They do work and it's just like yeah, always sunny and fillet Oh, this is the show where they pretended to have aides to get a discount at a water park

[00:50:31] And they ended up doing an episode that was just like We used the phrase I think on An episode of our podcast recently. It's like the It's the doctor cock's moment in scrubs Where the episode he stops being funny anymore and it is just deadly serious, but the

[00:50:50] It doesn't do it often I think there's one other one which is Charlie in Ireland Carrying the body of his dad off the hill and it's no base and it suddenly is just him shouting Like to the sky about how

[00:51:08] Why his dad wasn't there like that so yep, this is funny anymore I'm glad you brought that one up because yeah, that was the last season I watched

[00:51:19] Hands yeah, I thought the same thing like it was like a weird moment where like the whole premise of it the whole thing leading up to it There's so many stupid moments. It's all this infighting

[00:51:29] Just loads of it and like I might you say it and then it just has that moment and I remember watching that and going like

[00:51:37] Wait, I'm I'm tearing up now like what's happening like what's happening like what how is the show hit me with this all of the sudden We are like like you said on paper It's gross and ridiculous and it's everything that always sunny has been for years

[00:51:49] But it has this really poignant heart breaking moment. Well the guy from deep I'm gonna buy it's in like a wheelbarrow Yeah, and then like two minutes later ends on a really hard joke Like it just it goes from that yeah one extreme to the other

[00:52:24] I sure enough to carry you up myself You never carried me up the hill You never picked me up from school. You never even been timescoring You became the other shoulders It sounds me all you work there You are supposed to carry me You did

[00:53:14] Now I'm just gonna rest in my life It's something that I'm glad you brought the doctor Cox I'm out because we talked about it's way back when I did scrubs with your friend of the show I'm the guardian like I Feel like a good sitcom

[00:53:28] Can have those moments Right it like you can because a comedy and drama a lot of kind of Two extremes of the same spectrum often it's it's human connection. It's You know, you often say right if you get a good comedy actor

[00:53:43] They could probably do an Oscar winning dramatic performance because they know how to play those extremes So I love one of the show even a show is ridiculous and repugnant as this at times

[00:53:53] Can just surprise you with a moment like that where it just goes and the emotional Yeah trump card and you kind of go wait what no I wasn't ready for this no That's my first Yeah, go back to being stupid

[00:54:07] But I think it's got to be earned right because again I have I Exactly the same as you I haven't watched the latest season because it got added to Netflix literally like six days ago So I yeah, can't speak for that but Dennis hasn't had that

[00:54:27] And yeah sweet D has it had that Frank hasn't really Frank version of that was Understanding showing that he could empathize with like mac basically But I think it shows that they understand the characters that they are trying to humanize Dennis and they are tried Yeah, like

[00:54:47] Sweet D is also a repugnant human Oh yeah, like some of her worst stuff isn't on Netflix anymore because really because it was when she She hang on like was it blacked up as I was just about to say yeah, which which apparently she broke

[00:55:09] So she had a character's like a journalist or a news reporter or something Yeah, she would black up for it which like tropic thunder The comments was on blackface Like the whole point was showing how

[00:55:23] Stupid it is which is why I'm also not happy. It's not on Netflix because it feels like you've missed the point of it Yeah, yeah, but she I think she she injures herself quite badly filming a scene And had to go to hospital in blackface

[00:55:41] Oh no, and apparently yeah, I'll I'll this is interview with her somewhere, but it's just like I was very aware Very aware The the lethal weapon episode isn't on that anymore either Right, oh yeah, well, because there's like a whole running gag about that right of them like

[00:56:04] Debating that exact point and then being like you can't do this and that it's into change the different Members of them playing it and trying it on and being like no, this doesn't look like They keep switching who's playing rigs and who's playing muttap yeah. Yeah, exactly yeah

[00:56:20] Yeah, which as you say I think that then obviously the point of it is It's it's hanging a lantern on how stupid it is and how offensive it is and again the point of these characters is They are ignorant you know whenever you approach any subject

[00:56:35] They are not the solution they are highlighting the problem or people's You know issues around it, but I see what you mean. It is one of those Yeah, ever since that kind of came out I think a lot of shows I've even noticed it again rewatching the office

[00:56:48] Scrubs is another one we're like if there's a scene I think both of them have one moment in one scene and one episode, but they've just scrubbed it Just to be like yeah, we're not we're not gonna offend anyone Fair enough I suppose

[00:57:03] As three white guys in England. Oh, you're a cast we don't really have a lot I'm not gonna get here and be like oh I think you should know I'm gonna leave that one yeah, well I agree in in

[00:57:16] I do think with with stuff like it's always where the point has been completely missed Yeah, I think you kind of do a bit more harm and maybe Maybe you know some people aren't aware of the nuance and stuff and we'll take it

[00:57:30] Yeah, but a bit of a word face value But But I Do I do feel Yeah, I do It does it upsets me You don't you don't I think some of the I think satire is the most important thing of cutting through some of the awful stuff

[00:57:58] Whether it be just general society. Yeah, I think Satire in like politics. I think is one of the most important things right? The way that people are onto account them you know

[00:58:10] Take the UK right the the smallest population of the UK watch things like question time and Prime Minister questions actually give a damn about what policies The majority of people will find out from like Mark the week for example about why something is ridiculous or not anymore

[00:58:27] It's not running but you take my point and I think yeah, you get rid of things that are satirical even if They get close to the mark. I don't know. I just I feel that you lose something and you you're not challenging stuff and

[00:58:44] Like they get me wrong. It's probably a fine line's treason. I'm sure Netflix probably says We'll get rid of that and we don't have any problems and we can continue making billions of And it's a dollars It's It's a quick decision Yes, it's not

[00:59:02] Yeah, it's these. Yeah, absolutely yeah I'm speaking as White man Back in my day, yeah, no, we're not doing that but I know I do agree with you I guess you have both sides and

[00:59:16] You know to sort of sit on the fence. I do agree though. I do think I've had this discussion for actually. I think when I chat to Willa right stand up we sort of touched on this so like the idea of

[00:59:26] It's the intent and the execution in comedy is so important and yeah, the show like this as we said It kind of goes after those comments it goes after those things But in a way as you say that it's satirizing

[00:59:40] It's in no way condoning and saying like this is acceptable and fine. It's like now it's making fun of ignorance It's making fun of the sort of attitudes So as you say the intent is clearly there, but

[00:59:54] You're right. Yeah, it's from a corporate point of view. You can understand why they would just go blanket rule Just take it out It's not like it all no black face Which if I ever For I would have this exact same rule Don't

[01:00:11] Don't care about new ones of the intent No No, she's not about this Black face no service. Yeah, yeah Anyway, I don't turn on the lighter things. I count they yeah onto lighter things but True to the correct D Reynolds though is Kate

[01:00:28] Oh, yeah, yeah, we can talk about it out what I just wanted to highlight actually of On that with sort of D Reynolds I think it's definitely one of those characters where All you say she is for pregnant she is awful

[01:00:39] But you get the sense that in the earlier seasons it didn't quite know what to do Yeah with her character because she was slightly she sort of felt like normal one in the group for a while and then just suddenly like Inter depths of the world

[01:00:53] I was reading that that was Face the way they wrote her in and the reason for the character and the first instance which she was meant to be kind of like the normal voice of reason and kind of

[01:01:05] Ran with the kind of rest of the rest of the cast because I guess and you know going back to the point of sort of new ones and things on this I guess if you've got

[01:01:16] I think always sunny would become a bit boring and formulaic if you've got okay Here's the three guys that are pushing everything being disgusting and here's the one girl that's saying Isn't that awful and here's the moral of the story why where is actually if it's yeah

[01:01:31] They're all in on it and you know as the view You can kind of you know you pick up the nuance and you can kind of make you make your Injursments on that so I think it went down the right route, but yeah from the sounds of it

[01:01:43] They kind of bought her in to be this kind of like voice of reason character I think yeah that that ties in quite well with like the whole All the character arc or characters development always sunny is the gang bringing people down to their left

[01:02:00] Yes absolutely is clearly the first casualty of that Yeah, what do you expect from a stupid big bird God I hope people have watched our way sunny before listening to that or that made me sound horrible

[01:02:22] There's a running joke that she's a big bird to the point in one flashback scene She has literally played by an ostrich It's all right, they'll be plenty of clips open for contacts don't worry Big bird compilation please Why not I've done stupid a thing in the show

[01:03:00] Billboard and then you guys would talk about how ugly you think I am and compare me to some sort of giant bird How do you guys have to both come over here to get one bulls more fun if we both come yeah?

[01:03:08] I was gonna hold the ball Dennis was gonna stand next to me makes nine comment. Oh, yeah, that's right You look like a bird That's one old This is an old woman What good ones yeah, no, that was a good one. She looks like a bird

[01:03:20] Yeah, and since we're all saying things that we say all the time I'll just reiterate We don't care about you or your body or your baby or that baby bird that you're probably carrying inside of it

[01:03:29] D wine God's name, would you wear a costume with giant wings? I'm a sexy angel Are we supposed to pretend like you're not dressed like a giant bird? It was still time okay, D right here. You look like a turkey. Yeah

[01:03:41] I would say you look like an an ostrich I want to color him you move, but I want to save it for you You have a big fat flightless bird Those are all Like you guys have done something like that before Have we?

[01:04:02] Shut up bird all of this I've heard all of this before no Shutter blonde hair she's gorgeous not like a bird But like a beautiful woman definitely not like a bird You guys work here, right? Yeah, can I get a drink?

[01:04:23] Oh, last one of the other ones what are the ones? The other ones the bird lady You know what you look like you look like a bird Yeah, yeah, of course you look like a bird. You always look like a bird. Shut up bird These are bird

[01:04:46] I kind of feel compelled to call you a bird right now and throw my glass of water in your face You bird girl come on out. Yeah, I think you're right. It definitely

[01:05:00] She definitely is the first first casualty. I would agree with that it again. It does kind of remind me a little bit of sort of So Judy the Re's driver since sort of sign fell to like again. It's initially she's the girlfriend character

[01:05:14] And they're like oh have her be just as bad like it's lean into that like get it have the more Do this no lessons learned drag everybody down

[01:05:24] You know the best case scenario. I always think of this show as like best case scenario by the end of episode status quo is maintained that's your best case scenario Otherwise it's sinking even lower

[01:05:37] That's kind of the point of the show yeah, yeah, I mean I enjoyed if I could say that we have watched the I'm Yeah, to watch the latest one. I'm looking at the list of episode names I mean one of them is called Frank versus Russia

[01:05:47] You know and I'm just like I am so you get to see what that's all If it's anything like the previous ones like you know 2020 in a review doing the whole going to Ireland and

[01:06:01] Dennis being a sort of COVID denial like all that stuff. It's just it's hanging a lantern on stuff that You could say particularly nowadays right where we're so interconnected and

[01:06:12] I mean you mentioned one week there Graham like is it's a good example isn't it? It shows like that that kind of end up becoming a bit de funct because Things just move it's such a clip now

[01:06:21] Where anything that happens in the news there's going to be like a million tick-tock You'd you sketches about it by the end of the week so for a sitcom the kind of pick on these topics

[01:06:30] It's like or it's or a panel show like you've got to approach it with something interesting to say it It feels um The obvious kind of An example is self-bark right self-bark did that really well in that they kind of wait and tell that

[01:06:46] I mean I didn't you couldn't at the sitcom because you can't turn that around in the same time you can and an animation But self-bark and the drums that have I think been able to do to up to the minute satire

[01:06:58] The best but you need it's kind of on their side, but yeah, all right, but then like you know Like the 2020 retrospective and the fact that they were responsible for COVID and Trump and everything like that

[01:07:09] Like it was done in such a good way and I think it also like I think we were kind of like There was enough distance between all of it that it could be funny as well True, just a big Kanye reveal for me. Yeah, yeah

[01:07:27] So masterfully done it's like yep this is I get this and it's slowly they slowly fed through the whole episode That was all in there. It was yeah very very well done Yeah

[01:07:42] And written by three the main cast as well so you can tell all of them were coming out it together and we're like yeah Let's let's just think about this and into connected in a way that as you say

[01:07:52] hilarious absolutely hilarious it's time we're like you could think I'm or this again really I've had enough of this but yeah really and so again I'm excited to see what's what's up next. I think it's gonna be

[01:08:04] Probably more of the same right because it's another one of those things this show I don't you guys have mentioned it on your podcast and I think is absolutely true I don't think it's dipped in quality no. I was looking at like the average

[01:08:16] Squat the lowest score is like a seven or ten Which is mad for something that's been going on since 16 seasons I try to go through

[01:08:29] I kind of went through the episode list and made a note of I was trying to whiffle it down to make like of these And my favorite episodes list and heaven did not look 15 but it stretches from Season four right up to season 13

[01:08:44] Which is with any other show you you always have like there's the sweet spot Usually about a third of the way through Where it's really yeah really good and then the rest whether it's Bad is one the thing but definitely not as good but

[01:09:01] Always sunny is definitely kept like a really high level the whole way through it. Yeah What you think it is as help them to do that then

[01:09:10] I think they've marched the beat there in drum right they switched networks because that was the right thing to do sort of 10 10 episodes through like your story 10 seasons through

[01:09:20] You mentioned the fact that they are the ones that have you know the principle actors ones that are writing and producing it I think The fact that they're taking years off Because it wasn't the right time to do stuff yeah, I think helps stuff and also

[01:09:39] And a lot of stuff's gone and I was spoken about many times when we've discussed the way that TV's gone but Less episodes to a season as well like you go back to like I just I just did the maths

[01:09:52] Because I thought you were going to say that yeah if this was what we'd refer to as a Traditional American sitcom length so 24 six six 16 seasons would be 384 episodes. Yeah Which is just you run out of stuff right yeah

[01:10:08] Whereas I mean I think the most recent two seasons are like a episode so long right and Which is fine and I think that the fact that Streaming is kind of where a lot of the stuff sits now lends itself to it right you're not a slave

[01:10:23] I know they are on a network but then you're not as much a slave to network as slave to the other type of you don't need to be 24 episodes from September to May It doesn't need to be every episode this length as well

[01:10:35] Because that used to be a thing right if you look good. I mean I think there's certain episodes of friends We're certain bits are played at like a quicker speed just to ensure that they fit in the ad breaks and things like that

[01:10:45] It's it's mad but yeah, so I think all of those things combined And the other thing is kind of you know the stuff that's kind of kept things relevant like the jokes about 2020 and stuff like that it's it's It's fresh It's fresh but it's the same kind of

[01:11:02] Overaliable thing, but it's you know they've got musical episode and sure we'll talk about like some point But like the nightmare come as one of the best episodes of TV oh yeah easily and you know the fact that they've done that and not and it's not been

[01:11:16] Bad like some there's a lot of TV shows that will chuck like even grazing at them. He had a musical episode But there's lots of episodes that lots of shows that will do musicals and not particularly well

[01:11:30] But it's it's probably my favorite episode of it's always sunny so but always yeah always sunny also did Flatter an actual musical episode which was the Contablet Paradee the The gang goes black. Yeah, so I I

[01:11:50] Set some some of the songs on that are incredible because Frank is obsessed with the fact about whether he can now say it Yeah, even though we're still I've been standing to be took yeah, I think yeah weirdly so my of my top three episodes

[01:12:06] Give the gang guys black and my income with the top two so apparently high of the thing for musicals Well you say that and we can talk about favorite episodes. Yeah, I was gonna ask you guys this I feel like that is something that

[01:12:22] Can work really well on a sitcom ethics and executed right yeah, you know I think about like early Simpsons right you know some of like the iconic songs that they came out with From musical episodes there's others it comes that have done it scrubs to it

[01:12:36] Well, but yeah, I think it's episode was good. Yes the scrubs episode. I really like that one a lot Because again that the way they lean into it with like a woman with her head injury and so everything she sees is a musical

[01:12:46] If you can find a way to write it in and it's clever and you have all these different styles I mean I frequently would sing guy love sort of my best mates and like we were just that would be

[01:12:56] I'll you know, we just have a joke about that and You stuff like that that if it can stay in your head a little airworm like that Fair play you've done it but it can also land absolutely flat

[01:13:06] You know if you get it wrong it can just be like oh this is bad why are we doing this? Yeah, I mean yeah, talk to me about some of the episodes man. I mean the night man come with I'm just sort of looking through the

[01:13:17] episode. It's just to try and remind myself Of what that's all about and it looks crazy he tells he tells the waitress He will stop bothering her if he come if she comes to a play he's putting on which is called the night man

[01:13:31] Come and night man come on strike is the weirdest thing ever It is about the yeah, it's about the night man who then becomes the day man and there's a boy Who's to

[01:13:46] Pay the trolls to get into the boys and then D improvises a song about how she's not sleeping with the child Fighters of the night man They did no bro Brief yes, run on Broadway. Yeah, they did it kind of like an oh, they did it like

[01:14:12] Play within a play kind of thing yeah Yeah, yeah, that's right because the whole things on YouTube they did like a documentary around it Yeah, it looks great. I am in love with you Everyone They

[01:15:10] Stage free don't see stage freeze just do it on my list like so Charlie work I think is my like I said I think it's one of the best episodes like sick of episodes ever So that's up there night man come if this up there

[01:15:24] Yeah, this is a long list the Denis system Who got depraved in which is where they like rasha man it? Oh And it's the same Halloween party from everyone's perspective Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah, from max point of view He

[01:15:40] This like incredible fight with someone from somewhere else is he accidentally headbutts it or something Yeah, char the char deemookdennesses So char deemookdenness the game of games and char deemookdenness to electric voguele are incredible a good friend of mine

[01:16:00] I'll say his name just because Graham knows him rob oh yeah his friend made him a char deemookdenness for his birthday nice, so he has a homemade char deemookdenness game But that's incredible that whole episode is it is so funny and it is it's the

[01:16:23] It's also why I think it's lasted well because it's running doesn't insist on just being satire So like this episode is just timelessly weird and it then sits along ones with a proper commentary and what's going on

[01:16:38] And I think the fact they allow themselves that kind of thing just gives them even more longevity But those They do the hacker And They raise there's a flag raising ceremony and

[01:16:55] Yeah, I've whatever I watch one I have to watch the other char deemookdenness episodes they all blur into one for me But it's incredible The Reynolds first Reynolds the serial defense Which is where

[01:17:11] Frank crashes into Dennis and Dennis asks him to clean the inside of his car because he spilled his cereal And they do a whole yeah, that's right kangaroo in the bar to figure out who's responsible for it and that then leads to mac Arguing for arguing against evolution

[01:17:30] Which is nice The gang broke D oh It's just incredible yeah, so the gang broke D is where They convinced these are successful cabitians Ha ha ha That's someone who loves elaborate Franks that spoke to me that the so I was like this is incredible

[01:17:57] It's so good because you're wondering I don't ever you watching that as a good example of one of like You're watching him where is this guy? Like this doesn't make sense like how is this happening and like Dennis is getting

[01:18:08] Like basically the point of view character for that whole episode because he's like this doesn't make any sense What's going on? He's getting really angry. So it goes on and then ends with them just going oh

[01:18:18] There's a big elaborate prank no and you fell for it as well, which was a bonus. He's like But you're watching it going like that's brilliant. That's the only way that could have ended Yeah, this to me them going on like a

[01:18:33] Family fight which is just family feud Yes, yeah, and they just they break the show Charlie had been asked all the questions And there's always a really weird crap out of it like what's what's the fact that type of food and his answer was dragon Yeah

[01:18:56] God the list goes on this like this so Here's all the few guys I mean yeah, that my top two are Like main come-eth and then the gang Again goes black or the gang turns black gang turns black

[01:19:20] Yeah, because apparently I just love a musical Dennis system the rum ham episode obviously That's when they go to Jersey right yeah, they go to Jersey Yeah, yeah, yeah And the one you mentioned earlier, but the water park episode is great

[01:19:42] When Mac and Dennis by the house in the suburbs as well oh Yeah Yeah The most memorable episodes yeah Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I think just that's what you said like this just so many of them and they're all I'd be hard pushed to say that there's one

[01:20:05] I don't I will I forget the name of the guy but the the the chucking the beers on the airplane episode is great as well The gang get bogs bogs that's it. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Oh, there's there's the episode where

[01:20:24] Charlie enters a medical trial that turns some super intelligent And it turns out the actual experiment is to see what positive reinforcement does to morons He's not a genius

[01:20:41] He's just it was all for Cvo and he's was trying to I can't remember what is he ends up revealing its invention But it's like that allows like cats to talk to moths or something weird Yeah, yeah

[01:20:56] It's something that makes absolutely no sense, but yeah, they're the kitten mittens episode as well Oh, is that when they just keep making stuff I think so yeah, paddies pub home with the original kitten mittens They're trying to basically merchandising for paddies yeah, yeah, that's right. So the

[01:21:16] The The super intelligent Charlie one is called flowers for Charlie and it is written by David Benioff and DB vice As in the game of thrones dudes Oh, and there you go. Oh, nice I am just I will say this just so you can

[01:21:42] Jingle it, but I'm just googling what his invention is at the end of Two days later at the lab Charlie arrives in a wheelchair as he has grown quite weary and lexious the class Just new adventure a technology that allows cats to talk to spiders This

[01:22:12] I could use that actually because my cat just outright murders any spider she sees so they're like We're a trio of tangents at this point, but there's been a lot more spiders this year right

[01:22:27] Yeah, somebody so many more spiders and I don't know where they're coming from there is I mean as As a window cleaner I can tell you year on year it feels like there are more I am dealing with more on a regular basis and I'm

[01:22:40] So yeah, when it it's a conspiracy so I have this There's enough you can see where's the camera to This is yeah, it's an adult talk me out talk translator which claims to crowd source Meals from cats across the globe and then tell you what that me almeans

[01:23:03] Right people record you like it's like a What's that shizam but for cats See you press it when the cats meowing and then it will tell you based on other meals similar to this what people have said the reason for them me alms

[01:23:22] I don't know how let's shoot I don't know if I can make the cat me out That's that's a bit like I mean she's literally saying front of me. Let's see me What you're you're leaning in very closely so it's making me sign up

[01:23:40] Yeah, I don't want leaning out my head fights She's just she's just her own oh now she bit me I Don't I don't think we that No, no saying that was that case lost get lost I'm not get this phone. I got my face

[01:24:11] So that was a beautiful moment like we were apart I think we think that's it possibly That attacks my see you guys oh my goodness me. I mean I knew this would go on a go off in places

[01:24:30] But I didn't think that actually would be on the cards but Caches out genuinely agree that that app or a remost remaking of the DC movie with cats Yes, and I don't know which one I mean for Yeah, I would I would hate to see that genuinely

[01:24:48] Graham I'm not just saying this please keep you posted on that if I'll be listening I will podcast the next couple of weeks to hear if it actually works I will do incredible oh my goodness

[01:25:00] I mean I was wondering with this so yeah if you guys could wait a little down to like The podcast nobody asks for was top three always sunny episodes, but I think it's a tall order because 173 episodes Yes, was it been that 18 years?

[01:25:16] That's a lot to little down. Yeah, should we give it a try? I mean Not man calmness of those yeah, yeah, I feel like I feel like you guys are agreed on that Did you pick a third Dennis system was my third so I had

[01:25:37] Yeah, gang gang does work I'm gonna come and dinner system I but Charlie work is fantastic so I would I would yeah Would go not man come with Charlie work because the top two and then

[01:25:53] interchangeably any of several I do like that. Yeah, I think yes the gang turns back is I watched that episode it was a pro I think I watched it

[01:26:04] But our housemate was out at the time and when they came back it was like we need to watch this episode and I think I watched it again So that's up there but like a combined Charlie McDennis I would probably Is very close as well

[01:26:22] Like kill bills snow my whole blood is yeah, yeah, like the whole bloody Charlie McDennis But then he've also got like that and again Works on a meta level Because always sunny

[01:26:39] Had never won an award they wrote a whole episode about how the gang did the twad the board but really wanted an award which is where Charlie just a load of coke and things are sung about spiders It's He's like a really sweet like cheese style

[01:27:00] Paddy's pub song yeah, and then Comes out which is white low for his face singing that that outtakes from that are incredible Because they just they just so I mean for piano we're just letting go for it

[01:27:15] And it's music. Yeah, so proper and you have it in episodes anyway of watching background people trying not to laugh But yeah, I mean yeah night man come a night mouth come with we'll go for one Charlie look to And then with the understanding that there's

[01:27:36] 10 others we could choose for all my think gang turns black. Oh, oh, how are you? Okay? There you go. That's one episode we need to do Yeah, we done We're if you're gonna do it just mess this mean. Yeah

[01:27:56] Yeah, I agree man. I mean and that this is the beautiful things. I do feel like They could go on for another couple more seasons right like if they're doing it the way they are at the minute as we said keeping it short episodes

[01:28:09] In-house as a when they feel like it I could see them comfortably getting to like 20 and then maybe calling it Do you think they're gonna go down the route of like So it's saying like we spoken about no like scrubs the office and those ones that really tell

[01:28:26] off. I feel like yeah because they're so and back to what we spoke about they're so invested in this That it won't get to that point you know, it's not the studio that's pushing it it's There there's Bowie Bowie

[01:28:45] I was secretly hoping it was the end of the whole time but yeah And um I did wonder what you would love. I thought I was like what I'm saying funny at all Yeah, I think don't be great because they're so invested in it

[01:29:03] Yeah, yeah hopefully won't go down that really it's not a studio trying to long out for You know the extras and the scrubs and things like that so Yeah, I think 20's a nice run number it's still it's like the longest running

[01:29:16] I was gonna say so like you need to you need to Go it's a very exact sentence So you need to go down a couple of levels but it is the longest running live action American sitcom Right, yeah But the thing from my set in Philadelphia I

[01:29:40] Think they'll keep going as long as The core group are together because I think is one of them as long as one of what ruin scrubs and what ruined a lot of other shows is Like the office trying to continue without Steve Correll

[01:29:56] Community trying to carry on not without Chevy Chase but without Dan Harmon for a bit seem to to ruin You need to have As soon as like Glenn Howard and steps away from writing it as well

[01:30:13] I think that's yeah problems because you'll then have people trying to write an always sunny episode Which then becomes like a trip you and and it's never is good Yeah, I think like as we've said like the fact that it's this sort of core guys involved with it

[01:30:30] And I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right if any one of them just step to way Just kind of went yeah, because I'm basically you have Because you have with Brooklyn 99 Chelsea pretty But the thing right Brooklyn 99 is it's an ensemble but there's a main character

[01:30:51] Well always sunny It's an ensemble There is a there isn't a main person to kind of focus on so I think you need them all and I think they seem

[01:31:04] on the they seem to know what's working and I don't think any of them would carry on if they thought it was getting worse Or people were stepping away or anything like that so I have faith that as long as it carries on it will be really good

[01:31:18] We're all saying this without seeing the late season for all we know it's dirt This is very true. Yeah This is true. I've not I've not heard it. I trust it's not so far. We'll be funny with him Yeah

[01:31:32] I put this out watch them and then go on now That was so racist That's terrible yeah, they did black face again Yeah, I do sorry congrats. I was gonna say one thing so There's been like lots of

[01:31:50] Sickcums is particularly UK sitcoms that have had like the attempts at the American version right so like shameless Think There was one that failed absolutely epic the secret Venus the IT crowd yeah, they did the in between is they did the in between is What keeps leaking is

[01:32:15] John look as sarmo as Del boy in an American always Only fours and all Which doesn't work why Why would you do that St people who tried to make red to all for that two times I think Okay, but

[01:32:35] Did you know that always sunny has been made in another country? What There was a sick cool season of it's always sunny in Moscow So I am googling this It's time to google again

[01:32:56] Why sunny in Moscow you say yes, yeah, Ed in Russia and it sends a route since around four friends who own a bark called Philadelphia Interesting why did you still call it always suddenly in Philadelphia

[01:33:13] I guess because it is Russian language as well like it's yeah is Russian language yeah three point two on IMDB Ow if top cast there are two people Yeah, there's not a lot of info around it but um if you had

[01:33:33] To do a remake of always sunny where would you set it? Ireland Dublin always sunny in Dublin Yeah, which is not because I've been in my and it's never been sunny. I don't think it's I don't think it's that sunny in Philadelphia True Boston apparently really sunny Yeah

[01:33:55] Get you gave us the answer really The best thing with that was an entire plane of people going that must be Fahrenheit wait no no That's what's going on

[01:34:07] That was for the friend if I was not prepared for this. That was for the friend of mine who immediately had to buy shorts when we got there because he don't even jinx Because it's Boston oh Boston mid-September Wow, yeah, yeah, no, that's yeah you got tricked

[01:34:23] That's not fair Yeah, that's a good question. I mean they did the Irish season so would kind of make sense if you were gonna spin it off in some way or every adapt it And I feel like

[01:34:37] The way some like Irish comedians and writers operate right you could make it fast paced and And you could lean into that kind of absurdness and stuff like I'm just immediately thinking kind of

[01:34:48] Father-the-tad or you know half the IT crowd like stuff like that. We're like yeah, you're a girls even you know as a comet It's a drama but it has those kind of weirdly satirical moments in it that

[01:34:59] You could do so I could see that kind of working in that tone actually be playing the run Oh, that I mean I can't actually be anything just great

[01:35:13] We're talking about sort of a fair to get Arnold handling in as Frank yeah, he's got to be putting it Yeah, I know I would go for just because I think

[01:35:25] He would be really good in something like this so I'm setting it in the country just to get him in But have now realized it's kind of a mid-Summer joke is I would go brand it's always sunny in Stockholm

[01:35:40] And I would get I would replace Glenn Howerton with Alexander Skars god Oh, I like his succession character isn't far off I'm dead

[01:35:55] You say yeah, and you know what get Florence Poo in as D yeah, let's go for it. Why not give a give her a comedy role Well, I mean will polter would be great. It's like the Charlie day character

[01:36:07] Yes, and then yeah, and then we just need someone who looks like in 10 seasons they could get shredded And then we're done Which is also will-pulter Or um or a chiddy from the good place because he is shredded. We're shredded. Yeah, oh

[01:36:27] We'll just pat it out with so we'll get Alexander Skars god as Dennis Stellan Skars god as Frank yeah, Bill Skars god. I think it's the youngest so he can be the Charlie day character and then yeah

[01:36:40] I'm fairly sure it's good stuff Skars god is the other one who can Unfortunately well, he could be Mac and then I don't think there's a Skars god Acting sister Sorry, I mean that will still have to be Florence Poo

[01:36:57] Maybe I don't know. I'm just googling they do there are a couple of sisters there's a Megan ever I don't know she's she an actress He might be and there's another one whose name like can or pronounce

[01:37:13] So I will not attempt it. Yeah, she's a she's an actress then and this other one who I'll get after gurgling and put it in here And we have and we have our day We have our day

[01:37:25] I I I'm so sorry. I would I'll correct myself here actually if I if I've got it wrong But yeah, it seems to have an I end to be a character. Yeah, she's in movies So there you go there's you D so don't there you go

[01:37:38] You'll say you've aged Adel or a handling 21 years I think I I think the Irish winters aged Adelett I love this idea though genuinely that yeah Really in the expanded and all your on the animal team guys yeah, yeah

[01:38:00] That's it. That's yeah you've answered the question how do we remake this we just do it with the scar scar family instead of Instructor done as with everything the answer to every question is with the scar scar 15 seasons done sign it up let's go 15 seasons in a movie

[01:38:18] Yeah, that's it. Stel and stars guard is 72 So perfect they go The right age he looks very good for 72 Yeah, that's true Oh Well you could go down the the glisson roof for the Irish one right because there's Oh Dinnesties are I

[01:38:41] Very nearly broke the clean podcast thing when you said that Just but that's just Frank of island You true yeah, because what which is what made me the idol of Frank of But Brian Brian and right don't I think would be Rob or would be Matt sorry Yeah

[01:39:08] Dom or would be Charlie. Obviously Brendan is Frank You've got a furgas and a rory I don't know again if they're related let's have a look they might they might be unrelated Oh, but I've just pulled up a picture of Rory Gleason he is 100% Yeah, he's not

[01:39:31] He's not an actor though. I think as far as I actually might be No, he has seen a couple things yeah there you go that works Mary is that I'm assuming that's Brendan's wife yeah, that's not going to work Don't have a daughter

[01:39:48] Well, it's actually a it's an honorary person Fashion be like like great I said it. Yeah, yeah, that's actually yeah Yeah, yeah, we just won't do them as the The twins instead of being Dennis and D will be

[01:40:04] Well the brother that they'll be brothers it'll be Dennis and Charlie. Yes, that is in mag Yeah, yeah, that's your work around Ah, did there was a two versions I would genuinely watch as well. Have you watched Frank of Ireland?

[01:40:19] I haven't so not yet. I think it's on all four and it is I think it was written by Brian and Dommel And it stars Brian Listen and it is It was so good and then I never heard about it afterwards

[01:40:36] Like it's well worth checking out it's incredible To be interesting to see thinking I think I would just just the one Yeah, just the one cool. I will I will track this down and get back to you is very very good Interesting

[01:40:54] Yeah, I could so you they've done that before so there's there's uh yeah, that's pressing for it Yeah, I like this So basically we're franchising it's always so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Acting dinnesties. Well, yes if if any of the cast of always on here listening
