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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And guns.
What the hell's going on?
Two for one.
Can we work on both?
Two wars.
Two issues.
Two issues.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
Grasshoppers, spooky or not spooky?
