The Always Sunny Podcast - Charlie Wants An Abortion

Episode Date: November 18, 2021

We’re just figuring this out, guys. Still figuring it out.

I'm always sleepy. Yes, I know. I've known you for a good 20 years. Well, no I don't think you know how just how sleepy I am. Well, you're a man who claims to be sleepy But you don't show the signs of sleepiness. Well, he just yawns. Well, yeah, I yawn Making ya'll. Well, does constantly having red eyes count cuz my eyes are just always red. You see, I don't notice that I do Mentioning how tired you are all the time that I hear that I pick up. Yeah I think I probably use more energy than the average person acting like I'm not tired And that's probably why I'm so tired because I'm it's almost like a cyclical sort of like self perpetuating, right issue

It's a lot of run-stop run-stop. Well, welcome back to the podcast. Yeah, this is It's always sunny in Philadelphia. I'm Glenn Howerton. I'm Rob McElhaney. I'm Charlie day I guess did we do that last time when we say who we were? I don't know. Is that part of it? We're fine in it We're just figuring this out guys still figuring it out. This is only episode two and once again We'll we've already begun and then we'll talk for a while and then it'll just sort of end �� Guys, we just watched episode two of the show Charlie wants an abortion Do any of you guys seem to recall when that was written in what sequence because that's not how we shot them

That was like maybe the I want to say that was the second one we shot the second one we wrote Was the second one we wrote, but I believe it was maybe the third one we shot I don't know it feels like in watching it that after watching the first episode that we aired I definitely remember thinking maybe we talked about this on the podcast I don't know why anybody would watch the show, but watching that one. I'm like, oh, okay. I see some I see some funny Yeah, I like that one holds up to me. I like yeah, yeah the kids great It seems like everybody got cast is amazing in it. Yeah, we were still finding D D's character in that is Still sort of like the wet blanket. Yeah guys. What are you so funny in the scene with me? Definitely at the mall waitress

Yeah, yeah, she finds her moments. We she knows that be funny. Yeah, that's not an issue Yeah, she always knew how to elevate it, but you're right in terms of the writing We hadn't quite found her character yet and what's funny about it. That was the only episode I vividly remember writing on a yellow legal pad and showing you my notes Like the the scenes with the kid. I remember that I actually remember the office We were in I remember that was when we were all having conversations about what the title of the show could be Because it shouldn't be it's always sunny in Philadelphia because that's insane. Mm-hmm. It's a terrible terrible title It's too much of a mouthful and we had a bet go actually we did a bet in the office. Do you remember?

$500 we didn't have a bet we offered people money. No, it was $200. Are you sure? Yeah, we weren't $500 men yet. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was $200 Yeah, that's steep. Yeah, 200 bucks for whoever come up with the best title and we didn't go with the best one No, no, you can make the argument. We went with the worst one. You know what? I've got that I think I have that list somewhere. I should try to find that out. I've got it. No, I know I have it Yeah, the only one I remember is jerks But what else possibly could we have come up with I don't know jerks jerks would have been better I think jerks was way up there. I remember and I don't remember why we didn't why didn't we go with jerks? So we feel like it was too too cute reductive too cute. I

Don't know no idea, but this stupid title won by war of attrition. I think we just got to the end and we were like I screw it screw it screw it memorable. It's but it's not no it isn't it's not memorable It's a bad problem. It's a bad title. It's a bad title and it continues to be the people but then they talk about it They go no, no, it's actually a great title. Don't you see and I'm like no Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone's like I've had so many people come they're like I love it because it's not always sunny and Philly That's was and it's funny because of that Like yeah, yeah, I guess so I Mean that was the original home movie was actually titled. It's always sunny on TV

We were originally playing ourselves and we were originally actors who occasionally worked But they mainly we just wanted to have vain characters who had a lot of time on their hands And so originally we were all actors So the original title of the show was it's always sunny on TV and that came from I was at the gym I remember that crunch gym on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood We're working. Yeah, what were you I believe at the time I was stretching when this song came to the gym to stretch I know it's post-workout. I'm gonna say I'm gonna throw this in real quick This story has been told so many times over the last 15 years that anybody who's listening to this is probably already heard it 15 times

However, I think you should tell it but anybody who's as access to their phone should just hit like that thing where you can make it go Fast. Yeah, you can make it go. Yeah, I will say this. I don't remember the crunch gym aspect of it I also went to a crunch gym. So but I don't remember crunches gym affiliation with our successful show So for the people of crunch, I think they might want to hear it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I mean, they're still out there crunching. Yes. Well, so like I don't Crunch still exist. Are they crunching? I don't know Too many people get crunched. They're like, oh man, I crunched myself bad That was such a fun gym to go to is always there's always great people to watch at that gym

You know Dave Navarra was always there. I was always like that's weird He was I do was there every single time I was there and I was there at random time So I was like he's here all the fucking time crunches crunching. He's just crunching getting his crunch on Yeah, I think people have read this story, but I don't know that they've heard our voices telling it And that's what makes it special So so I met crunch. I've just finished my workout. I'm doing some stretches Don't ask me why but I'm listening to I don't know if I have my shit on shuffle Or if I was actually listening to an aha album, it's the their most it's the one would take on me on it

It's actually great album and Good stretching song and there's a song and there was a song that came on Well, so the song that came on was the sun always shines on TV I believe is the actual title of the show and that is the chorus of the song and I just remember thinking like oh That's a good type. That's a good title for the show It's always sunny or like some version of that and then I don't remember how we actually have that morphed into it's always Sunny on TV But it's based on the aha song and that would have made a lot more sense if we were doing a show

It's always runny on TV is a good title. It is. Yeah, it's always Makes no sense. No, we just change the words out. Yeah, we just changed. Oh, I lost its entire meaning Yes, but there is something to like sometimes something that's too pre-meditated Like the fact that it's not a good title is why it's a good title Yeah, right is that it's not like jerks is too cute and like too polished and I Don't know like the met to networking to networking. It is too accessible. Yeah What a lot of some of our street cred with that title in a way No, that's corporate art man. That's music

For me, man, I want the accidental title. I want the default title because they couldn't come up with something good Give me the Jackson Pollock of titles man No, Max straightness in this episode very straight extremely straight and I ably straight Undeniable. Yeah, but we always knew eventually in season 11. We were gonna take this character No, we talked about it extensively. We knew that once we were yeah, as you said 11 seasons in we were gonna You know because we knew we were gonna go 11 seasons for those of fans that we knew we're gonna invest as much time in it Yeah That kid now. Yes. How old is he? Oh, he's gotta be

He's gotta be in his late 20s. Yeah, how old is that kid? My god I mean, he was probably what 11 years old when he shot that so and that was 16 years ago So he's probably 20 in his late 20s Spencer Spencer Spencer. We gotta have him. We gotta have him back. We should have Spencer. He's great He was great. We were commenting on so I remembered The night before shooting a couple of those scenes like having a few ideas Lying in bed thinking about things and being like, oh, I should have him hit me with a pool stick. That'd be funny and I was like, I should Have him spit right in my face when I'm doing thing with the keys. Yeah

But we didn't tell the director that we didn't talk to the directors very much in those early seasons We just kind of did whatever we wanted and we expected them to know so Spencer halls off and spits right in my face And I remember the director like because they were across the street like yelling cut and like trying to run it run across The street like stop the cut and I remember thinking like oh For some we got enough of the takeout before you could hear him on camera But I remember being irritated that he would yell cut which is like it's like a guy does a fucking stunt and breaks his arm You don't yell cut and you're like, no you fucking I broke my arm for that shot. You fuck like I just got spit in the face Yeah, keep it like what are you doing? Don't so just to be clear

I get Charlie's point you're saying if somebody breaks their arm in a scene. Let's just say it's a four or five minute long See we should we should continue with the scene you can make sure that whatever fucking shot You're on you have that and then you yell cut No, Glenn is saying he's so badass that if he breaks his arm don't you're not saying you would hurt another actor You're saying as director. He was saying and I'm with you if I don't tap out of this cut Goddamn keep rolling because I just broke my Shit for the right and if it's a really good take and you ruin it and I have a broken arm The show must go on yeah Spencer Daniels he played a young Brad Pitt in

Benjamin buttons. Oh, did was he in Benjamin baton? I thought I thought Brad Pitt played young Brad Pitt in Benjamin buttons I thought that was the whole thing. I believe it's Benjamin batons. Yes, Benjamin's buttons He continues to He ages backwards and then he hits a certain point where even even Brad Pitt can't play right at eight year old You need Spencer. That's what Spencer you are underestimating Brad Pitt as people always have he can definitely play a baby He could play baby. He could do it all. He could play baby. I don't remember anything with batons There were small little round things that keep your shirt together Oh, I thought it was like the parade batons. No. Oh, well, no, they were but they were small and they were round and they kept

There's the person's shirt together in the form of a baton. Yeah, one thing we noticed from this episode was that we had some certain level of Interest in in some kind of social commentary that we noticed that there was one tiny line as we're watching it Hmm where these cutting the limes and then just for filler before someone walks in Dennis is commenting on how she's cutting the Limes that's that's that's that might I think Charlie said as we were watching it That's what the entire show is now like right what we realized was we can keep making these kinds of shows But what's really funny are the conversations that happen in between sort of the bigger conversations We're having yeah having getting into a whole thing about whether the lot the limes should be thin or thick Yes, actually that I believe did come from us talking about like how I mean, I think some of that

I was trying to give for accuracy like how would a bartender really cut limes, right? We were trying we were trying to say this was a real bar. These were real human beings. Well, yeah Yeah, but also too, you know, you get 15 years in and then in the first season you're like what we did we did racism and abortion and Cancer cancer and then like what's left? What's all you're just left with lines? Yeah, you know like that's it You're like well, I guess we're doing episode about lines Yeah, we probably figure out an episode about fruit the thickness and thinness of them Yeah, maybe we also realized that it's just straight up funnier to talk about

Wanting chips and you should have gotten chips at the hamburger store and getting real heated about something. That's relatively minor However, also weirdly relatable because yeah, we've all been in that situation where you've got a little bag of chips and your body's like Let me have some of those chips You're like it's a small bag of chips here and I'm loving it and I'm hungry And I don't want to give you my chips because they're delicious to me and I you should have gotten them Yeah, you had an opportunity The vending machine and you should have also gotten the chips and now you want to sip of my phantom to get fucked Yeah, we do both, you know, we do both we got scenes like that

But then we have times up for the gang which is fairly recent and we're talking about the times-up movement Which is a big, you know, yeah thing that happened, but they can't all be yeah They can't all be that was Megan Megan did that Megan wrote that so if anybody's upset with that one like that's Megan Yeah, that was that was her fault Her fault that was her fault Megan wrote Megan wrote Rob grabs another woman by her vagina and lifts her up into the air She's a woman. She's a woman. She's a woman also a notable guest star in that episode is Mr. Cormac Bluestone and for those of you who don't know Who Cormac Bluestone is he plays Jimmy Doyle in the episode but more importantly

He became our resident composer and helped us compose most of the original songs that have ever been on the show. And then not just the original songs, but like a lot of score and when we have like a really moody episode and we need something very specific, like last season for the laser tag stuff, we wanted like a sort of shining-esque theme and he nailed that. He did that? Yeah. I didn't remember that.

Okay. Yeah. But yeah, very talented guy. Charlie, you've been, you were friends with him before. This is one of the Williamstown Theatre Festival guys I knew like Jimmy Simpson and David Hornsby and, uh… Right. A lot of people that we know came from that connection.

Yeah, Nate Mooney, yeah. Yeah. The Williamstown Theatre Festival. Check it out. It's somewhere. Where is it? Williamstown. Williamstown.

Yeah, but that's not a state. Self-evident. What state is that in? It's in the state of Massachusetts. Oh. Oh. Westernmost corner there. Well, listen, if you ever find yourselves in the state of Massachusetts and you're looking

for some good theater, check out the Williamstown Theatre Festival, and you're not getting any of my chips during intermission. I want to talk about how much it hurt to get pelted with those eggs in that episode. Okay. Yeah, it looks like that. It really hurt. One caught me right in the ear. But we didn't stop and yell, cut.

One caught him in the ear. This is… Yes. We got the shot. It's a very salient point, and it's exactly what I was trying to say earlier. It's exactly what I'm saying. I'm 100% with you here, pal. Yeah.

We're the same work ethic when it comes to that, which is like, let's get the shot, man. But what if the line wasn't scripted, but you screamed out, dear God, my eye has been pierced, and then we look up and your eye is falling out of your head? Again, I think… Should we stop or should we keep going? I think an extra three or four seconds to make sure that you've got that shot and it's in the can is not going to make the difference between whether I lose my sight and that eye

or not. Yeah. Yeah. Because like, also, what am I doing in the scene? Like, is it a really good take for me? I want that in. Well, we do cross cover. We do cross cover.

Yeah. So, you know, just because your eye's out doesn't mean I'm not. Yeah. You weren't in that scene. No, no. Are you just talking in… It's theoretical. Theoretical you.

Theoretical me. Yeah. I believe we started shooting that scene, though, and people were throwing eggs at me, and they were not bursting. They were just bouncing off of me, and that hurt even more. So then somebody had the bright idea of just poking holes in the eggs so that they would explode every time they hit me, and that was a good idea. And it was disgusting, and I hated it, you know, but I did it.

I did it because I'm a professional. Don't sigh. Little known fact. I did it because I'm… Little known fact. There is an actor that had a scene that we hired, a friend of ours, Olivia Munn. We didn't, she wasn't a friend at the time. You guys mentioned that when we were watching the episode, I had no memory of it.

Yes, yes. Well, I didn't remember it either, but I bumped into her at a gym, not crunch. Crunch. And she was… You got a lot of gyms, Charlie. She was, can't you tell? And she's told me that story, where she was supposed to be Kaitlin's… What was her excuse?

Why didn't she show up that night? Something with like… It was not her fault. Was it not? Yeah, no. No, it was like a scheduled thing, or they told the wrong thing. Yeah, they gave her the wrong information. Oh.

Well, twice that's happened on her show where the actor didn't show up, one was Olivia Munn. Yes. And the other was Michael Madsen. Yeah, he just straight up didn't show up. Michael Madsen. Michael Madsen. I've never seen that before.

He fled the country. He fled the state. He fled the state. He was trying to get out of a… He was trying to get out of a… That country, he was in Canada. I believe he got out of the state of California. Yeah.

They're like the man's in Manitoba, Canada. Right, right. He's not going to make it. Yeah, he's not here. He's not going to make it. He's gone. He owes like some spousal support. It was a spousal support situation and he did not want to support that situation and

he's like, guys, I'm so sorry, I'm out of the country. But his agent was like, guess what, we got Tom Sizemore on hold. Yeah. So apparently his agent's like… We're like, yeah, even better. Great. I got all the crazies, man. I got, you know, I got all the wild guys.

And so Sizemore comes in, crushes. That's a different episode. We'll talk about that. That's a different episode. But then I do remember, you know, like six months later, we got word back. From Michael Madsen's agent who was like, re-reached out and said, hey guys, just FYI, you know, Michael is still like a huge fan of the show and would love to, would love to come back on.

Oh. And we were like, oh, so sorry, I'm sorry. He didn't show up. Straight up just didn't show up one day. And now he's, he's looking to come back. Yeah. Okay. We'll consider it.

Yeah. Noted. By the way, I love it. He's great. I love Michael Madsen. Yeah. I love him. I'm sure he's done terrible things or no, no bad things.

I don't know. And this is not an endorsement. Leave me alone. Cut this. Get off me. Cut this. Cut this. Cut it all.

Cut this. Cut this. You can't do a podcast. It's crazy. It's like walking through a muffin field. This is crazy. Hey. Hey.

Anyways. I would also like to point out that in that first season, we were all, and I don't remember why this was, everybody's wearing a hybrid of their clothes from their wardrobe, but also there was wardrobe. And also, like we had a props department, so we had props, but also some of the props were like ours. Yeah. What the hell was that?

Why was that? I've never seen anything fucking like that. We were in a real TV show. It was real like student film production quality. And we don't need to get into the exact amount we were paid at the time, but it was. It was minimal. We tell people what we got paid, it's almost like it was not possible. It's not possible.

Yeah. I don't know how they got away with that. Well, because they were like, aren't there unions and like we had, we were all SAG and WGA and directors. Was the show even SAG in the first season or was it Aftra? It was Aftra. It was Aftra. It was Aftra.

And I think that they didn't want us to be WGA either. In fact, we might not have been WGA. Oh boy. Here we go. For the first season. Hey, you guys want to talk about unions? I'm curious on your take on this. So going back to actors just not showing up on set, I've always wondered this about like

you hear stories about like, you know, super famous actors that are elusive in a way and that's part of their lore. Like, well, they just, you know, like, they'll have a meeting with the director, the meeting goes well. And then the director is just wondering, hey, on the first day of filming, you know, this dude may or may not show up. What the fuck is that? Like, like, how is that?

That's not charming, right? That's not good. That's crazy. Like, you know, I feel like those are the kind of shenanigans that are less and less tolerated these days. And I could be wrong about that, but I feel like more and more people are just like, no, fuck that guy. I don't want to work with them or her.

I just, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. There's too many talented people out there and life's too short. Well, it's like the guy who, like, you know, the key grip who lives in Santa Clarita, who wakes up at four in the morning, who doesn't get to see his kid in the morning, you know, who hasn't seen his kid for a week or whatever, drives like in the middle of the night all the way to. Well, here's the good news.

He still gets paid. He gets, he still gets paid. So he's not that upset. That guy, Santa Clarita. I am maybe. Yeah. He's like, I'll hold a boom mic or not. Either way, I'm getting paid.

I don't give a shit. Right. Um, what else? Yeah. What else? What else? Rob, what do you got, man? What can you talk about these days?

What can you cover? I have heard people say, many times though, they're like, yeah, it was just much, much more grounded. The show was much more grounded in season one. That's true. Which actually makes it more terrifying. Yeah. It was, it was more grounded.

And we were almost, we were truly presenting these people as the most awful people on the planet, of course, who always get their comeuppance. But we were saying like, these people like really do exist. Yeah. That was very important to us. I remember, I mean, we really wanted to like make it feel, even though it was scripted, we wanted to kind of feel improvised, we wanted the acting to be very not sitcom-y. And then that went away in season two, uh, when we realized it would be funnier.

Well, we realized it's a sitcom. Well, there is. It is a sitcom and maybe that's okay. There is some purity in making something where us as the filmmakers, the actors have no idea what's going to be funny about it to anyone else, right? So that you really can't rely on any character trait you've come up with. You can't rely on any sort of story element. You really have to invent something from scratch so that the pure inventiveness of it, it's

kind of like the accidental title that we have, which is that, you know, we're not really trying to squeeze season one into a box of, this is exactly like this other show. We were really trying to invent our own thing. And season two, we're trying to squeeze it into the box of season one in a sense. Like we're trying to grow on it, but it's also based on something we've done. So maybe there is like a purity to that, which is sort of exciting to watch, which is that it's, yeah, it could. I wish I could see it objectively.

I wish I could look at it objectively. It's just impossible. It's impossible. Well, it was definitely not through lack of trying. We were killing ourselves. We were killing ourselves and we were swinging for the fences, as I recall. First of all, I never understood why they let us make the show. I was like, you want us to write it?

We're not right. Okay, sure. We're not writers, but we'll do it. And I just thought like we may as well swing for the fences and go for it because there's no fucking way this show is ever going to get picked up. Now I understand how we watched it again. I haven't seen one of those episodes and I mean, seriously, I think 10 well over 10 years.

Wow. Remember how bad my stomach problems were? Like I have really bad stomach problems. You had reflux. I had, well, I had a fucking ulcer. Oh yeah. And then, and then it just like suddenly went away. But I realized the way that it went away was I'm looking, I'm looking at the episodes

that I'm realizing, well, that I weighed like 130 pounds. I didn't barely ate anything. All I did was drink coffee and smoke cigarettes all day long. All day long. Why do I feel good? I didn't even drink alcohol that much like during that time period. I was just drinking, I mean like on the weekends, but not every night like I do now. Okay.

Okay. Right. At the time I was just waking up in the morning drinking as much coffee as I could to get me through the day and smoking a ton of cigarettes and then being like, what is wrong with my stomach? I don't understand. Right. This doesn't make any sense.

I'm a youngish person, how long have you been off coffee now? I've been off coffee. I don't know. Five years. Yeah. You and coffee don't mix. No. Don't mix well with the coffee.

But I could drink the coffee without the cigarettes, but the combination was tough. But I did that for a good 10 years. Shut up. Guys, this episode brought to you by coffee. Coffee. Fuck you. But you guys, you're welcome. This episode also brought to you by cigarettes.

Cigarettes. Cigarettes. Cigarettes. We're dead. We're still around. We're still a thing. That's true. Cigarettes.

You know you want them, but you know we're bad. Some of you can resist us and some of you are just going to die. Taking knots and uncles since 1843. Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I've ever done. There was a point where I was like, you know what? I'll shave a good 15 years off my life. I don't care. I love it this much.

It's just gay then. You were like, fuck it. But now in your mid 40s, you're happy you haven't been smoking back in day since your 20s. Can you imagine? You would feel very bad. I'd feel very bad. Or you'd feel totally fine.

Like certain people we know that smoke and are fine and they smoke till brought to you by cigarettes. You'll be fine. Brought to you by cigarettes. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. Remember that one guy's dad? He still smokes and he's fine.

Cigarettes. Still cool. God, I do miss smoking though. It's delicious. I love it. Every time I, like on the rare, rare, rare occasion then, because I will occasionally, and it's very rare these days, have a cigarette. And I'm always thinking like, oh, this is going to be gross.

And it's not. I love it. The last cigarette I had socially prior to that, it had been five years, but I smoke like four cigarettes the night of your 40th birthday party. Oh, yeah. Everybody. We went to some bar. Everybody smoked.

Everybody got so drunk. It was the drunkest I'd ever seen David Hornsby. Oh, Hornsby was. He was, Fun Dave was on fire, and Fun Dave, yeah, Fun Dave got sloppy. Fun 40th? That was my 40th. That was my 40th birthday party. So that was five years ago.

Was that karaoke place? Five years ago. Gaslight? Gas lamp? Yeah. What the hell's the name of that place? Shit. David got so unbelievably drunk that night that I don't think he drank for like another

two years. And the next day we saw him and he was like, yeah, at a rough night and apparently he peed in his dresser. Oh, that's right. Yeah. He woke up and Emily, Emily's like, David, what are you doing? And he's like, shy. I'm gone.

I'm gone to the bathroom. She's like, David, wake up. And he's like, I'm fine. I'm fine. And she's like, wake up. You're peeing in a drawer. David. He was pissing in his drawer.

What a fool. In like his sock drawer. Oh boy. Yeah. And then he was like, I'm going to get off the sauce for a little bit. Yeah. This is not a good look. This is not a good look.

Yeah. So that was the last time you had a cigarette. That was the last time I had a cigarette. I had like five or six cigarettes. No. Are you like me though? Because I think it's more the chemicals that I want. You don't have to say, like, if somebody hands me an American spirit, I'm like, not

interested. You want the drugs. Yeah. If I'm going, I want to go all in. I want whatever. I want a camel. I'll even go camel with no filter. Yeah.

Absolutely. Because it's still got the chemicals in it. It just doesn't have the filter. Yeah. I want whatever they're adding to their, whatever camel, whatever Joe Camels adding to those cigarettes. That's what I want. That's what I want.

Yeah. To give me like real tobacco. I'm like, this is kind of fucking gross. You're going to smoke the fake ones in the movies. It's brutal. That shit's not right. It's brutal. For those of you not in the movie industry, when you smoke cigarettes, you're not really

allowed to smoke real cigarettes and things anymore because it's a hazard to the people around you. So they give you these herbal cigarettes that are just fucking awful. So when you see people smoking in movies now, unless they were shooting in like Book of Rest or something, it's these herbal things and they're really fucking gross. Really fucking gross. They're bad. They're bad.

But then the ritual of it is still nice, you know, like the lighting something and the cigarettes. Yeah. The ritual is nice. The ritual is nice. You'll miss the rituals. We can make a lot of money endorsing things that you're just not allowed. Can we just like...

You know, we should be endorsing things that we want more of. Just endorsing cigarettes and porn. Like let's just do that. I'd be like, hey, cigarettes and porn company will endorse you and then make a lot of money. Definitely. But any kind of booze, right? Mm-hmm. Booze, cigarettes and porn.

Porn. You love us. You'll never admit it. I guess it just sort of ended, didn't it? Yeah, this is good. I mean, it just, you know... You're still tired? Still thing?

Did that invigorate you at all? Did you get less tired? I do feel invigorated. I do. That was invigorating. So is it just the engagement thing? If you're not engaged, you're going to feel tired? Yeah.

But it takes a lot to get me engaged these days because everything bores me. Everything's boring. That sounds like depression. Oh, definitely. Oh, absolutely. Have you looked into it? Are you looking into that? I have looked into it.

Yeah. I think I have like a very, very minor case of bipolar disorder where like, you know, I go through like extreme highs and they're like not like semi-extreme highs.

I'm self-diagnosing here, which is what any good person does. Just poke around the internet and look for symptoms and see if anything matches up with how you're feeling.

No, thumbs down. Thumbs down. Thumbs down. She does not want to be exposed the way we are. She knows this is career suicide. Well, we've learned a lot today. Yeah. We've learned that...

We've learned about Crunch Jim. Gosh, what a fun trip down memory lane, guys. What a fun trip down memory lane. We've learned Glenn's touch with a splash of bipolarism, self-diagnosed. It's possible. It's possible. The show was brought to you by Depression. Depression.
