Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome everybody to the It's Always Sunny and Philadelphia podcast. I'm Glenn Howard and this is Charlie Dade. I'm with Rob McElhane as well and we got Merkin on the Ones and Doos. Guys this is episode 5. It's the end of the day and we're Pawnstruck. Pawn 11 on a Tuesday afternoon. We're the two bottom of the ninth. Charlie let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:00:33 How do you get it up at 4.11 in the afternoon? How do you get it up? I had a chocolate chip dunker Glenn. It was a chocolate chip cookie that was meant to be dunked in coffee. I'm chickening a sparkling water here and it's not doing the trick. Now had I got myself a coffee I'd be all fired up and ready to go. So I'm operating purely on the chocolate and the cookie. Coffee at 4.11 in the afternoon is what I call a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Now why would you call a bad idea Glenn? Had you had an improper sleep experience after how you got me there? My daddy told me that you need seven hours between your last coffee and when you go to bed. Otherwise you won't sleep good. And is your body a doctor? And is he aware of all the things in the universe and how they work? And does he have superior knowledge compared to you or say someone else who might also be a doctor? I don't know Rob.
Starting point is 00:01:25 What do you think? What the fuck is going on? Guys this is episode five of the It's Always Sunny and Showed Off You podcast. We wanted to come out of the gates. Shot out of a cannon. Wanted to come out of the gates hot for that one. Well we did. Guys listen. You were falling asleep on the couch 30 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:01:59 I'm an actor. We know this is the mania that we've been talking about. The mania is no. It's just the entertainer in me. It's just the entertainer in him Robert. Don't just repeat everything I say. And stop repeating what he's saying. I'm talking to you.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Episode five guys. Gun fever. Gun fever. This one holds up. I'll tell you why. Gun violence still a thing apparently. Gun violence still a thing. I don't see anything from the first season in ten years but that one I don't remember at all. Shelly is incredible.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Shelly Desai who plays Huang in the episode. By the way he was supposed to be Korean. That's why his name is Huang. When Shelly auditioned we were like well the character is only Shelly. It's got to be this guy. But we didn't change the name. We just decided to keep the name even though. But he is out of control.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Very funny. Well he didn't know the tone of the show. Neither did we. We were trying to find it and figure it out. He was playing the honesty. Well not only did he not know the tone of the show. He didn't know what the show was and what I mean. And granted it was the first season but he also years later didn't know that he'd done the show. Because he came in and auditioned for a totally different character.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yes. Apparently having not known that he was already a recurring character on the show. Correct. Outrageous. And that too. But we couldn't remember that. Of course. We didn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:03:29 We had to call our casting director and say this guy is already a recurring character in the show. He doesn't need to play Tony. He plays Wang. And he can't play Tony because he can't be two different people. Although we have done that. We have done that. I found that very funny. My favorite Shelly Desai story though is at the season one wrap party.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah. Which is for those of you who don't know at the end of a season all the time. So you have like a little party at the end to celebrate with the crew. And everybody who was involved in the making of the show. You know to basically celebrate all of your achievements. And you know pat yourselves on the shoulder. And just an excuse. But it's a big thing when you're first starting out.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Because it feels like oh wow you wrapped the show. It's a party. You're still young enough and full of life that you want to have fun. You're still young enough. You're still young enough and full of life that you want to have fun. You know have to go home to the stupid fucking dogs. That can't walk themselves. Like you want to go out.
Starting point is 00:04:17 And drink. And enjoy your life. It's nice for the crew. Everyone's worked really hard. It's been a long time. And it's just one night to be like hey we did it. We did it. Let's let loose together.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Congrats everybody. And thank you for all your hard work. Shelly Desai comes into the party. The guy who plays Wang. You're the first person I think he sees. I'm standing right next to you. I'm there for this. And he comes up to you.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And you're thinking he's coming up to you because you guys work together. And we were on the show together. You're thinking he's going to come in and be like oh hey. What a great time it was. Shelly looks at you. Thanks for the job. Hey guys good to see you again.
Starting point is 00:05:05 What's the reason we think he's going to... No none of that happened. He walked up to you. I don't think he knew who the fuck you guys were. And he said what? Where's the food? Where's the food? And where's the food has stuck with me
Starting point is 00:05:21 for the rest of my life. So anytime you walked up to the show's creator. Where's the food? Didn't say hi nothing. Where's the food? A fair question. Listener at home. This has become a running joke with us.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Anytime someone orders food. I think 5-10 minutes later we'll look at each other and say Where's the food? This is the first time we had Guajinos. Oh man. Guajinos is the restaurant that if you're a super fan you know exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:05:53 But Guajinos is the restaurant that in this episode Sweet D goes to with what was Rosenbaum's character's name? Colin. I don't know the name of the restaurant but I remember when I was writing it I don't know why but Carla Guajino came to mind and I thought Guajinos.
Starting point is 00:06:09 So that restaurant is actually named after the actress Carla Guajino. Now that location is in the Herald Examiner which was William Hearst's newspaper factory. His newspaper was the Herald Examiner. His factory was in downtown Los Angeles and it had been converted into a bunch of sets. One of which was a bar
Starting point is 00:06:25 that we dressed and so that's why Patty's looks like she looks. And the lobby of that building was Guajinos. Which we also used as the bank in the episode where we pop our shirts off to try to woo the bank teller.
Starting point is 00:06:41 And then a bunch of other locations were in that. Sweet D's apartment. We shot all over that fucking and remember every year they would say you got to move out of there, you got to move it somewhere else because they're going to tear it down and they wouldn't tear it down. They never did.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Oh, they tore it down. But they kept the lobby. Oh, so we can still do Guajinos? No, I think it's like condos or something. So Guajinos is done. That's why we haven't shot there in a while, right? It doesn't exist. That's sort of an end of an era thing for me
Starting point is 00:07:13 because I always really enjoyed those episodes. The gang dines out the whole episode takes place in Guajinos. I always liked that set. Oh man, that's a bummer. Funny things happen in that set. It was fancy for these guys. It was palatial.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah. It was a sound issue, right? It was marble everywhere. This particular episode, the sound is terrible. I'm off mic after. When did we not wear body mics? I think we must have always worn them.
Starting point is 00:07:45 No, there was a season where we didn't wear them. Then season one, surely. Do you remember the season where we had a boom operator who was like, he must have allergies or was a coke addict. But he always was holding the boom over your head and he'd be like, and I'm like, look, if I'm hearing it,
Starting point is 00:08:01 you gotta be hearing it. Dude, I am constantly amazed at how often a boom mic guy will be the one who's making the most noise. They're all... I'm like, what the fuck are you... Whenever I see a boom guy chewing gum,
Starting point is 00:08:17 are you fucking kidding me, dude? That's because that person's hearing everything except some bitch. I hate that shit. I don't like chewing gum. I just don't like it. I don't like it. That's misophonia, right? I do have misophonia.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I do. Look it up. Chewing drives you. It bugs me too, I'll admit it. It does, yeah. You're not alone in that. Just don't smack your gum, man. If you're gonna insist on chewing it like a fucking cow, just don't smack it.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Fucking jerks. And definitely don't pop it. Don't be poppin' and smacking your gum. Smacking and pop your gum. We don't want to fucking hear it. We don't want to hear it. We've got our own things going on. I'm thinking about something, but all I can hear is you.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Fuck you. Guys, did you notice on the show we yell a lot? It's always sunny in Philadelphia. And we yell over each other. Quite a bit. That was part of the charm of the show, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:09:27 Which is also why a lot of the reviews were like, I don't like it because it's just people yelling at each other, and they're not totally wrong. And I think a lot of people were like, I like it because it's people yelling at each other. It's people yelling at each other just like I do with my friends in real life. Talk over them because I have shit to say. I got a question for you guys.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Rob, let me take this, Charlie. Yeah, okay, good, good. Let's get real, man. I feel like I've asked you a bunch of questions and I want to start with Charlie. Good. He's also a bigger star.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It's too late, Rob, you're 44. Yeah, it's too late, buddy. He's established. The door is closed. It's closing. It's closed. All right, what do you got? I'm Morgan Freeman.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I'm Morgan Freeman. Charlie, how do you feel about guns? Well, they're awesome. You like shooting them? Yeah, a lot of fun. Go to shoot some skeet or whatever. Have you done that at a skeet shop? Yes, and it's a blast. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:33 What have you done? Skeet? Have you done clay? I've played pigeons. I've done that. Thanks for closing that. He's so jealous of me. He really is jealous. He doesn't even want me to see you. But it's totally insane.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I mean, I think I remember being naively optimistic that when we were making the episode and we were calling out sort of all the problems with mass shootings and things at the time a little bit and the problems with gun violence in our country, thinking that like, well, but it will get better, you know, that like, yeah, we'll have this sort of
Starting point is 00:11:05 snarky social commentary in our show. But you know, in 10 years or so, we'll get past some of this. So I am displeased, you know, if you're asking my full opinion with guns, which is like, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I think the problem is that we can't acknowledge that there's a problem, which is just nuts, which is just nuts. And then, you know, I think the other thing that people hide behind, they say, well, that's a mental health issue.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Also, yes. Also that. We can do two things at once. Let's do two things at once. Let's work on both. We definitely hit this issue much harder in the Gun Fever 2 Still Hot, which we'll get to in a long time from now. Yeah. When the fuck did we do that, season seven or eight?
Starting point is 00:11:53 No idea. I don't remember either. They do start to blend in quite a bit. I could name probably, again, not having seen them for a decade, I could still name all the episodes from one, two, and three, maybe even four, and then I'm lost. That's it. And then I'm lost all the way up until,
Starting point is 00:12:09 yeah, because they just kind of start to blend together. Robert, let's take on guns. Let's get real for a minute here. We can't just do the episodes about these heavy topics and then just totally avoid them. I think it's a complicated issue. I have a firearm myself. I have a firearm.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I have a handgun in my house, but I keep locked in the safe. I enjoy shooting the gun. Is it like a pistola? Yeah, like a little pistola. That's safer. You died from the lead poisoning. You talk about pistolas, or you used to talk about pistolas a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:41 What is a pistola? I don't know. I might be making it up, but like the little tiny gun that can fit in the palm of your hand. Like a little derringer? Like a gentleman's gun. Where the madams used to keep them in their purse. Yeah, like the man who you don't think
Starting point is 00:12:57 has a gun, then suddenly he shot you and he's like, surprise, I had a gun all along. Like that kind of gun. Well, what else, guys? What else? I can't be the only one asking questions. I didn't sign up to be the host of this fucking show.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Are you sure? Are you sure? I'm the only one keeping the goddamn thing on track. I see how you can perceive it as that. Yeah, sure. Let's just sit here with dead air. Dead air. Dead air.
Starting point is 00:13:29 No, okay. See, you hate the gum smacking, but you love that from Danny. Absolutely. But that's what I love about it, is that it's so fucking obnoxious. So if you make a joke about it, my favorite joke in the pilot
Starting point is 00:13:45 that we did, which nobody ever saw, boldly going nowhere, was the fact that actor Chad Coleman, who played the character Cobalt in the pilot, who plays Z Telfia, was the security officer on the spaceship that the show took place on,
Starting point is 00:14:01 and he had put someone in the brig because they were chewing their gum too loudly. Yeah. That whole sequence makes me laugh super hard. He was fantastic. He's always fantastic. Yeah, he's like, given my character a tour around the ship and he sees the guy and he's like, well, what's this guy in for?
Starting point is 00:14:17 And he's like, all I was doing was chewing gum. And Chad's like, yeah, but you were smacking it! Driving everybody crazy! It's like the best delivery ever. His eyes bulging. Driving everybody crazy! Do you remember who played the kid in the brig? It was Eric Zimmerman, our assistant.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Our assistant at the time. That's right. Hey, can you do your CCH Pounder imitation because that's a classic. Yeah, let's see. God damn it, Dutch! What other errands do you have us running for the DA? Now, there's going to be a large portion of our audience that doesn't know CCH Pounder.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And I suggest seek that woman out. Watch an episode of The Shield, which is fantastic. She's fantastic. I can assure you that is a perfect... Well, I think the one in the episode that I did was probably a little bit closer just because I think I warmed up. I think I'd studied. I think it was a little fresher in my head.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I remember when we... I must have been season one or season two. I got gifted from FX, The Shield, which is kind of a funny gift to be like, here's our show. Here's our show, right, right. But it turned out to be a great gift because I watched them all. And that show was fantastic. I wonder if they have a podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:23 That show blew my fucking mind. When I saw that pilot, I was like, man, this show looks like shit and it's so good. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, Kenny, so the first time I met Kenny was at a party. Kenny who? The guy that plays Lem. I can't remember the show.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I knew I liked it, but I don't remember him. The guy who barely got any fucking lines. He's very affable. He's not... Blonde hair. Yeah. Blonde hair. Not Big Mackey, not... No, Goggons. I mean, within three minutes of the conversation, he was like, do you want to arm wrestle?
Starting point is 00:15:55 And I was like, ah. Where was this? This was actually... had John Landgraf's house John Landgraf guys is the president of FX. Yes. I had just smoked, I don't know, a thousand cigarettes with Walton Goggons because I was still smoking cigarettes. That's how long it was. Season two. And he was like, hey, do you want to arm wrestle?
Starting point is 00:16:13 OK. And I was like, I just met him. I was like, no. No, no, I don't arm wrestle. I thought he was joking at first, but then he was like, oh man, all right, cool, like. Was he drunk? No, and I was like, what's, why? And he's like, I just arm wrestle.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I just arm wrestle everybody. Like this is kind of my thing. And I was like, oh, okay, well maybe later. And then he proceeded to tell me how he was the arm wrestling champion of the Pacific Northwest. Oh, so he would have broken your arm. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I think he just wanted to, but he's a very sweet man. Yeah. And then eventually I did arm wrestle him because he's very clearly wanted to. Yeah, but he started me, he was like, you can start all the way. And I had like started all the way down.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And he still got you? Where he was an inch off the table. Oh yeah, I mean, he would rip my arm. Oh God. Do you guys remember the movie, the Stallone movie over the top? Of course, of course. And there's that, you guys remember that,
Starting point is 00:16:59 that montage sequence at the end where it's the final competition and everybody's doing, there is a moment in that montage of arm wrestling bouts where a guy's arm clearly fucking snaps in half. And it's just, it's real quick. You see the guy, you see his arm, you see him wince and it cuts away
Starting point is 00:17:20 and the sequence keeps going. And I think that, you know, they were just like, well, that guy lost, you know, is the idea behind the sequence in the film. But if you're watching even slightly closely enough, you see the guy's fucking arm snap. And it is disgusting. Now how quickly does the AD, yo, cut?
Starting point is 00:17:35 This is a callback to the very first episode. This is a callback to the very first episode because they man, the guy's arm is broken. If he knew. Get the scene. If he knew that it was a montage sequence and that the point of the sequence was for that guy to lose, then I would argue that he could call cut very, very quickly.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Cause it's not like the guy had dialogue, you know. If he didn't. Doesn't matter with a broken arm. Well, he's not gonna bleed out, right? You can shoot for a while. Well, it depends on how tough you are. I mean, those MMA guys, right? Yeah, he kept fighting.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yeah. His arm's dangling. I saw a guy, there's a guy whose arm was broken and he punched the guy with the broken arm and knocked the other guy out. With the broken arm. Rich Franklin. No way.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Oh my God. That happened for real. That's outrageous. It broke his arm. Yeah. And then knocked the guy out. I tell you what, I'm not that tough. Oh my God, you get a gun, you don't need to do that.
Starting point is 00:18:24 They did that. Oh God. No, Jesus Christ. I can't, it's funny. That, that, ooh, that actually made me cringe. It scared you. That's it, it did. It did.
Starting point is 00:18:33 It was sarcasm. Well, it's edgy. It's very edgy humor. Edgy humor. Very edgy humor. Yeah, but it got me. It sent like a surge of uncomfortableness through me. Of fear.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah. I'm out guns. Well, cause it's so, it fucking people are. People are crazy. People are fucking crazy. And they're shooting each other. Back to the mental health issue. It's, it's.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And guns. What the hell's going on? Two for one. Can we work on both? Two wars. Two issues. Two issues. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Mental health. At the same time. And guns, yeah. I don't know. I got, you know, my theory on all that is honestly, it goes back, it's just an evolution thing. We have not had time to evolve into the kinds of creatures who all of us can actually conform to the rules of society.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Look, before when we were just tribes of people and we had to defend our tribe, you want the fucking maniac whose blood lust will allow him to slaughter everybody and anyone who comes near the tribe. Or her. Or that guy. Or her.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Sure, sure, sure. But let's, you know, let's be honest. Cut that. Cut that. Cut that. Cut that. But you want a psychopath in your tribe. So in other words, I'm saying there, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:43 there was a use for that guy. Yes. You know, even 5,000 years ago to have a fucking, a full-fledged maniac in your tribe who's just fearless and fucking insane, who will slaughter and kill anyone and everyone who even comes, I mean, it's like, you know, those guys, they just like, just give me something to kill.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Now we've, we're telling that guy's ancestors, like you can't kill anybody. They're like, I, and then you sit him down in a fucking desk chair in an office and have him stare at a computer and think that he's not eventually going to kill somebody. By the way, that guy can still go join the military if that person wants and practice their killing techniques
Starting point is 00:20:20 and become a weapon and go on clandestine missions around the world, whatever it is. But. Hopefully you can channel that and you're taking out the right people though. But you have other systems at play here, right? All of a sudden you have commerce coming into the mix, right? So we're not, we're out of the feudal system
Starting point is 00:20:35 in terms of like that maniac is now guarding the castle with his bunch of people. And now it's like, well, we have these weapons. We've had, we'll have this weapons race. Now we have these, the technology that we make guns readily available, but now we're going to sell them. Now we're going to make money off selling guns. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:20:49 We're going to, we're going to market them to people and we're going to sell them. And then now they're everywhere. So it's all these things. It's all these things. You guys are pitching the movie Fight Club. What? Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Right now, Megan, that's Fight Club, right? What Glenn and Charlie just described as Fight Club. I've never seen that. Just go back and check it out. No, you're wrong. That movie's about soap. That movie's about soap man and meatloaf. That's about a soap maker who beats people in the basement.
Starting point is 00:21:15 And Brad Pitt's meatloaf and Jared Leto's face. Meatloaf, I forgot meatloaf was in there. Meatloaf's actually great at that moment, man. Oh man. Yeah, go man. Everyone is, cause it was Fincher and you made them do like 900 takes each. And it's like, if you can't get one good take out of 900,
Starting point is 00:21:31 then you got to re-cast the actor, right? That's why. Brad Pitt changed what every actor wanted to look like with that fucking movie. When he took his shirt off in that basement and you saw that torso, every single actor went, well, that's the new standard. And it's practically unreachable.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And it's just- I love picturing you in the theater and being like, well, that's the new standard, folks. Getting up and walking out. Well guys. That's the new standard, everyone. Thanks a lot, man. Turning on my actor buddies and being like,
Starting point is 00:21:59 well guys, that's the new standard, you know? Yeah. Oh God. But it was, I mean, I was like, you are just- It's just lighting and makeup. Genetics. And diet. I mean, he cut hard for that.
Starting point is 00:22:15 But he's just a beautiful human being. He's gorgeous, gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that. Why? No, I'm kidding. I don't care. All of them.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I want to be him. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, Brad. You look really lonely that time we saw him here on the Fox, didn't he? He was sitting by himself. Sure he's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Didn't you do? Yeah, I think he's all right. Sure he's fine. Yeah, he's all right. He's all right, dude. Don't worry about Brad Pitt. You know it's lonely. You worried about Brad Pitt, right?
Starting point is 00:22:42 No, I'm not. I'm just- No, not at all. He's doing okay. Let's have him on the show. Let's see, maybe he'll talk to us about it. Guess what, surprise guest, he's here, Brad. What do you have to say?
Starting point is 00:22:51 Well, that sums that up. Thanks for coming, Brad. He's a man of few words. You know, he lets his body do the talking. You guys have a lot of celebrity friends? Yeah. Yeah, do you feel like you have a lot of like big celebrity friends like outside?
Starting point is 00:23:09 Like I'm friendly with many people who are celebrities now, but do I have a lot of celebrity friends? What's mattering? The grossest game that we've ever played that's actually really, really fun. And it's just gross. Poot tops.
Starting point is 00:23:25 No. Mmm. No, no, no, no. Poot tops was great. Oh, that was pretty gross. No, is everybody flipped through your phone and who has the most celebrity phone numbers in your context is the grossest game you can possibly play,
Starting point is 00:23:40 but also really, really fun to- Rob, you hang out with the rock a lot, is this true? Yeah. Yeah, I see the rock quite a bit. You guys are just talking about an actual rock that you talk to, right? Like just a rock that's in your garden that you talk to me. Like, hey, rock.
Starting point is 00:23:56 You know what it is kind of- And the rock's like, call me Dwayne. I was thinking about this in terms of celebrity pals. You're very good friends now, like Chase Otley. You're like best friends. And I was thinking about that joke that we had where you write him the letter. Which we wrote before you knew Chase, right?
Starting point is 00:24:11 You didn't know him at all, right? No. That we just wrote that joke in and then you got what you wanted. And then we became- Well, he made a response video, didn't he? Yeah. Isn't that how the whole thing kind of started?
Starting point is 00:24:20 Oh yeah, that's what it was. Between you and Chase and- Yeah, he responded to it and then we got him on the show and then we just became friends. And now you're just- Our wives became really good friends and now we're- But it also helped that he moved to California. You do have friends?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Who, me? Yeah. I do, but I don't like- You don't like- That's what I'm looking for, people. People, yeah. Yeah, I don't, I prefer to be by myself. I'm actually quite introverted, believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:24:44 even though I'm very loud on this podcast. Well, let's rewind back to that first minute and a half of this podcast. I don't see it introverted. Actually, I do. I see an introvert who's ready to explode at any moment. Oh yeah, well, I'm very angry. I didn't say I wasn't angry.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm just saying I'm introverted. I really am to a dangerous degree. Like if I had absolutely nothing to do and no wife and children, I would spend weeks at a time never leaving my house. Absolutely. And never talking to a single fucking person. And then I'd come out of it like,
Starting point is 00:25:11 oh my God, that was awful. But then I would do it again. The next chance I got, I would do it again. Anytime my wife goes out of town with my kids, I spend the whole fucking time in my house doing nothing. Because I love it. I love it. I just want to be left alone.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Now you, Charlie, you wrote something down. What were you writing? No, I didn't. I drew a little shape. He draws this on this. I thought for a second you were taking notes. Oh God, do you remember all the great stuff that Charlie used to do when we'd be sitting
Starting point is 00:25:40 in the edit, all three of us? Before phones. Before phones. Yeah. Because now you can pick up your phone. Yeah, before phones. You would do, Charlie, we'd pick, he'd just like pick up a magazine.
Starting point is 00:25:48 But phones existed. Oh God. But before smartphones. Smartphones. Charlie, by the way, is a very talented man in almost every facet of artistry. Go on. No, it's true.
Starting point is 00:26:01 But you would pick up magazines and you would find a picture of somebody and then you would doodle on the person's body and face to turn them into a totally different human being. I remember thinking, that's the funniest shit. Oh, you do it with headshots too. Headshot. Audition headshots.
Starting point is 00:26:17 That is a Jimmy Simpson technique. So Jimmy Simpson and I used to do that to our own headshots. Like we had a pile of useless headshots and we got it, we mastered like erasing. You can erase them. You can erase the ink, right? Yeah, you're like, wow, I can erase my eyebrows and erase my eyes.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And Jimmy would sometimes cut in different eyes from like a magazine. Full season, you guys did this in the editing room. It was the funniest fucking thing to me. You loved it. I felt so left out. Jimmy was a master at it. I was okay.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I was okay. We gotta have Jimmy on the podcast. That the man is, I love that man so much. He is the fight. Nobody, that man makes me laugh so fucking hard. He is so, so, so funny. Brilliant guy. Also very good at like anything he wants to do
Starting point is 00:27:01 he's like very good at it. And just a good dude. Just a good dude. Yeah, yeah. Thanks a lot of strawberry. You who still maybe? I don't know. Very quick.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I don't know. Didn't have the best diet. Back in the day. That was a long time ago. So when I met Mary Elizabeth, my wife, and we met in New York and we met outside of a play that I was doing and we all hung out at a bar and she came to tell us that story.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I'll skip it because you guys know it. But anyway, she was out in my apartment and she opened the fridge. That night? Not the next morning, pal. Wow. Boring. Actually, I left her
Starting point is 00:27:36 because I had to go do a recording for IFC that I'd forgotten about. And had you consummated this, the relationship already? No, I don't do stuff. You scatting out a little bit of fun. Knock it off. You scatting off. Hands up, just hand stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Hey, keep it clean. You guys just do hand stuff. That's my wife, guys. Okay, I'm sorry, you're right. Anyway, she's understandably thirsty, hungry. She opens the fridge. I'm living with Jimmy Simpson. The only thing that is in there is only two things.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Strawberry gogurt. Oh, God. That, like, Jimmy had bought. And a meat, a hunk of, like, ground beef that had been shaped into a penis. Why? Because Jimmy and I are making a funny video about a man who smashes his penis off of the hammer.
Starting point is 00:28:20 And we needed a fake penis. And, you know, that pretty much sums us up. That's the other deal. She was like, I got to marry this guy. She's like, this is the one. This is my guy. This is the guy. Well, that makes perfect sense, actually,
Starting point is 00:28:33 because her sense of humor is just as twisted and strange as yours is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's a very, very funny human being. Yes, indeed. And her wife, yeah. What else do they want, though? It's five, 10.
Starting point is 00:28:44 So we've been talking about a little over an hour here. It was about podcast. Well, that should be the end, then. That should be it. That's the end. No. That was too abrupt. That was too abrupt.
Starting point is 00:28:55 It was too abrupt. Glenn, you're the host. You can host. I knew it. Fine, I'll be the host. Well, we've been singing the birds of war. And one of the things that we'd forgotten, which was the lyrics,
Starting point is 00:29:09 which I think was the best part of that song is that we're singing about the fact that we're not just birds. We're also. We have muscles. The whole song is about clarifying that you're not just a bird, but that you're also a man.
Starting point is 00:29:20 You also have the muscles of a man. And you have all the best parts of a bird, but also the best parts of a man. But we reiterate one more time in the song, but we're also a man. Yeah, right, the end. That's a four. Yeah, well, maybe we'll sing it for you guys sometime
Starting point is 00:29:31 and get the lyrics right. Maybe we'll do it around the season where we do that episode. Six years from now. Oh, God. Oh, God. Stick with us, guys. I promise it's only gonna get better from here.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Grasshoppers, spooky or not spooky?
