The Always Sunny Podcast - Hundred Dollar Baby

Episode Date: December 27, 2021

Polly wants an eyeball.

He's kind of close. Kind of real close. I got real fucking nervous. I was rushing to finish my shit so that I could get in here because I got real fucking nervous about it. That's good. Not as close. It's 9.59.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think he said it was 15. No, no, no. He's gonna roll in here, no problem. He's, I mean, I'm telling you right when it turns 10. We roll. Well, okay, we're rolling now, but it's only 9.59.

Don't make it any sudden. Okay, right. I didn't hear him around. He might be standing outside waiting. Oh, do you think? No, no, oh, it's 10. All right, let's go. It's 10 o'clock.

It is officially 10 o'clock. That's when we said we were gonna do the podcast. I did see Charlie here earlier. Oh my God. Wow. So he's in the building. He's in the building. He's in, you said he was in the kitchen.

Yeah, he was in the kitchen. You saw him tinkering around in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah. Oh boy. He was making, oh, he had no regard for our time whatsoever. He was just making himself a bagel. Just making a bagel with no regard for when we said we were needed to be here to record.

And I think in his mind, he's like, well, I'm in the office, but the office is not the room where we podcast. Right. Now, should we make it? Oh, and here he comes. Oh, here he is. He's come in, he's late.

Oh, okay. He did, unfortunately. No, he did. No, he didn't. I did it for a reason. This guy got food. I saw that you've been here forever, but he just jammed food down his face so fast

to get in here on time. You didn't eat a whole bagel in the last two minutes, did you? Yeah, he did. I watched him pull it out like a minute and a half ago. It's already hard enough for the body to digest. I thought he's gonna be late. And he was, but he was really only,

if we're being fair, he was about 55 seconds late. He did it for the podcast. No, well, actually, I'll tell you, there's two things. I was like, do we say 1030? We said 10. And I was looking at it, I was like, it's almost 10, but I was like, it's probably better if I just stroll in after 10.

So yeah, they got something to talk about. But let's talk about the bigger issue here. Oh, shit. Let's talk about parking. Let's talk about parking. Yeah, sounds like a lot of you are saying somethingнее. I'm telling you, you are groaning. I'm just saying.

Now it's only three seconds, it's worldwide and far from there to get. Want to know what I want to know? A guy with a chance, and maybe because someone said, yeah, where there is everything. so dangerously close to the column today that I was nervous that he possibly

scratched his car. I'm literally behind the column and my my right wheel did touch the touch the column and that's when I was like okay that's close enough apart. Yeah my god. I want to believe that it went one of two ways and either way is amazing. The first way that I want to believe is that you back that thing up at like 55 and slammed on the brakes and just stopped and got out and that didn't happen but I like to believe that it did because it would have been cool. Yeah like in a full in a full slide. Yes I drifted in. I'd say Tokyo drift but I don't want to make it specific. Yeah so I just I California drifted in.

Don't you know yeah. The other version is you getting out over and over and over again and checking to make sure how close you got it which I don't think is what happened either but I like the idea of thinking you kept getting out and looking at it and I'm gonna fucking put it right on top. I will say I did it in two moves so there were no other cars in the garage that made a lot easier. Yeah but I came in I tossed the tail back at a far at an extreme angle extreme angle alright alright that's really good. That's actually a good technique. No the way I parked is ridiculous. I only don't say it for this conversation. I'm sure.

No that was clear. That was clear. I'm genuinely worried about getting out like that's gonna be. No as long as you pull forward your wheels already turned you should be in good shape. You kept your wheel turned which was smart. So that the butt went in first I'm like oh that's hilarious I'm behind the pole awesome and then I was thinking about it before I came in I'm like I can't wait to get in there. Yeah I'm gonna get so fucking close. Do the most ridiculous parking job. So close. And then and then I was able to yeah turn the wheel in until I felt the wheel hit the pole I was like perfect. Great. Yeah I'm in. I think I would have been willing

to scratch my car for the joke. I know you would. I know you would and I and I appreciate that about you. You're willing to go that far for a joke. Yeah no that's I know they're gonna be I don't understand the technology here is there gonna be a possibility for people to go to some sort of site that we could we could put the photos up because I think I think the photos are tell the real story here. A story of us. Because Glenn did a park job yesterday that was obscene. It was a shot across the bow he's gonna claim he always do. I do. I do. And I'm gonna I'm gonna say he went the extra maybe you you think that you do

but you don't know I never go that tight. No I do. I swear to God I am I am a maniac. I am an absolute maniac and because we know that but we don't know that it extends specifically to parking. It does because because it bothers me so much when people don't get close. I I put it upon myself to get so obscenely close to the column every single time and have done for many years. That's just how I am. I'm an I'm a maniac. Yeah I'm an absolute maniac. Now I want to say hold on so I parked next to you today Charlie and I'm gonna I want to get out ahead of this okay. I purposely didn't park too close to the wall this

time because I didn't need to. There's a full like almost a full car width. Yeah you can you can squeeze a garbage truck in there. So I was like there's no point in me getting too close to the wall because we both got so much room to swing my door open. Now wait a second that's disrespectful to the person that could come in after Charlie. Let's just say Charlie had to leave early. He doesn't. He might. No he does actually. I'm still within the line and I'm still parked very close to the wall to be clear. Okay I'm just not as absurdly close as I would normally get. Okay yeah yeah. Well guys we've settled it Charlie. Wow

well no no this is an ongoing saga. Yeah I mean I'm not gonna park like that again. I don't think you should. I don't think you should get that. No that's a comedy park job. Yeah it was a good job. It was great. It was a good bit. I genuinely enjoyed this episode hundred dollar baby. Yeah I remember we had a lot of fun writing it. I remember us thinking that we were sort of like tapping into some new shit with this particular episode. I think there's no issue of surrounding this episode. You know what I mean? It's just like I don't even. Well the one thing I don't and the only one thing that I whatever we got into a into a thing

with it and we used it a bunch and it and it worked for the show but it dates the show is like the parody aspect of it because we all saw that movie right. Oh the hundred dollar. We all saw Million Dollar Baby and it was probably either that year or the right that they won an Oscar and we were like what the fuck is what is this movie. Yeah why do people like this movie. Why do people even like this movie. It was terrible. It was terrible. It's terrible. No offense to all the people who made that movie. Well I'm going back maybe I'd see it again and like it was you know I don't know maybe it was terrible to someone in their 20s and

your 40s you watching you're like oh. Well it was like a boxing movie that you'd seen before except this time like it was just a feet from it was a woman and she was great. That's what I was going to say. Hillary Swank's performance is great. Of course. Of course. She's great. But then but then the end and not spoiling anything because the movie's been out for 20 years. The end she just randomly it's paralyzed in the ring. Yeah. By the way your memory of the writing of that is misinformed. Okay. We had a very difficult time writing that one and I remembered that you guys wanted to throw it out. At a certain point you were like

this just this isn't going to work. Let's just chuck it and I remember thinking okay I do see something that we can do to connect these stories they just weren't feeling connected. I don't remember what that thing was and we're doing a past and then you guys be like okay yeah that could work and then we jump back into it. But I remember at one point we were like this one isn't going to work. It does seem that it's the first time where we got started to get really cartoonish. We did a montage our first montage. Maybe yeah. No because we did a montage in Charlie has cancer but oh right yeah. But the reason I say it's cartoonish is

that we we got you guys like hooked on to some kind of steroid which then almost immediately turned you into like animals. Like legitimately animals. Two episodes before with crack. It's one of the first time. No but you know what it is. It's but that is what crack would do. Well I don't know for steroids Rob why don't you tell us about the steroid use. Yeah. Why don't you go. Why don't you go into that. I'm happy to walk you through it. If you guys want to do a whole episode about steroids but you know I'm very interested in the male for that. No I'm sure I'm sure Dak Shepard's got that that area covered. We do a whole episode about it. Yeah you guys

all your session with male body. It was really it was. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it but it's covered. Yeah of course man. He's got a good podcast. Yeah absolutely. That's how you do it. No where were we. Yeah cartoonish. Like am I wrong in thinking like we started doing like bits in this episode. I don't recall us really doing like bits before this like for instance if I remember one of the first times I had trouble getting through a scene was in this when we were shooting the scene where we're massaging where I'm massaging Charlie. Yeah. And I remember I was like something clicked for me there where I was like oh this is really funny to me. And it was and it's such a stupid little bit

and something clicked for me there. And we started doing I think started doing more things that were just like you know what I don't know why this is funny. It's just funny. It's funny behavior funny human behavior shit. There's a weird balance in that episode between the really broad stuff like weightlifting jokes or shaving your face or whatever. And then yeah the much more soddler like well you know just like what type of wood it is that I punched. Yes. Right. That conversation. Yeah that kind of stuff. I enjoyed those. I enjoyed those conversations so much. Exactly. Exactly. Like the clown baby bit too. I remember like watching where that came from. Do you remember where that came from. I'm going to

I'm going to suggest that I remember and maybe you and I'm going to I'm going to lay this out and maybe I'm dead wrong. But I distinctly remember having a conversation where Charlie was like I don't I feel like in every episode we're taking my character cartoonish place where he's this like baby clown clown baby. And like I don't want to fucking do that. I don't want to be a clown baby. And we were like OK. I understand we understand that. But it's also really funny and like maybe it doesn't sound like me not to want to be a clown. I think it was just like you are absolutely right. I totally remember that. Yeah. 100 percent. It was you describing

yourselves as being like a like a clown. Yeah. Like a dumb clown baby. And then that's sticking with us and being like clown babies just funny. And then when we got to that episode we were like oh I think it's also from a running joke about a really funny email. Clown baby dot fart. Clown penis. Clown penis. That's from SNL. Which is the SNL thing. Yes. I'm I'm I'm I'm almost 100 percent that you you were like well it wasn't that you were unwilling to go to places it was just like I feel like I'm turning into a cartoon character. Yeah. And then and then it turned into a clown baby and then we put that in the show and then you were by far the funniest in the show and

then we were like let's just all be clown babies. Oh let's all be clowns which we eventually got to. Yeah. Yeah. Except me. And then we're like well then we dialed you back. You dialed me back. Yeah. Try to rain me in your pocket. Well I stole a major bit from you in this episode. What is it. You might have even actually suggested that I steal it because it was probably your pitch and it's I to me it's really funny. But in the first season when we did the Nazi episode right. Yeah. You thought it was going to be really funny if we if when I opened the door to reveal you wearing the banana

you were casually eating this banana. Right. Which was really funny. And then in this second season you came up with that on the day as I recall that wasn't in the script. You were just like it'd be funnier if I'm doing the very dumbest food possible. Really. Yes. Yes. So then so then in this episode this guy sounds so interesting to me this this Charlie guy this Charlie day guy. Yeah. What else does he do. And then in this in this episode you you would have been behind the monitors so you would have either suggested or I would have just straight up said I would have said I'm just going to steal this from you. And then it was the reveal that we're at this at this event and we're just casually

eat. I'm just yeah just a brutal underground fighting situation like a real blood sport kind of a thing. Yes. So I'm sure fans looked at that and they were like oh it's like a running thing where these guys are casually eating food when they have these like very but really it's just me stealing. Oh no but that is what that was the idea behind it was like we thought that was funny we're like no that is funny it's funny to be in a situation like this and just be casually eating the dumbest possible food. I think to our credit no none of us have ever cared about that stuff. You know it's like hey man that's my joke our kid like that that would have been a toxic environment for creating something like OK

I did something funny if you do it and it's funny when in the next scene when you're doing it great. Yeah I mean there's I'm sure there's a line where like you know a line that could be crossed where like if you know I literally started doing every fucking funny thing that you ever did until it's like fully made it my persona that would probably be pretty irritating but it would also be bad acting on my part. I've heard us do it like we do it take someone does an improv two takes later someone else is doing it already taken the line and it's like unconscious. Yes that is true that does happen. Yeah that's a little irritating. We knew a lot we had a lot of friends in this in this episode like we knew a lot of friends

like yes in the beginning of the show that's pretty much how we were casting this one is like I mean like Jason Van Over who's my buddy from college who played the guy who mugs us in the alley in the beginning and in the end. Jesse Ward who I also knew from when I was in college although she was next door at the school of American Ballet. So I've known her for years. Katie Chrysler who plays the drug dealer who gets these steroids for her she also went to college with me. Talk about Cartelio the choice to reveal her popping up in a frame like that. Do you remember in the script do you remember what it said in the script I remember this. She came out from the shadows. She came as she emerged

from the shadows and they were like I remember that too. We don't have the capability to create shadows. We can't make a shadow. Yeah that requires 100 percent and then she says at the end let's lurk back into the shadows. So we were like well we're gonna get it in the dialogue. But there is no shadow to lurk into. No she just popped up. Isn't that funny like you know nowadays if we came to set you know and they let's see and they're like yeah so we couldn't come up with a shadow we'd be like sorry go make a shadow and then we'll shoot with a shadow. What are you talking about. Unless it was gonna add half an hour to our day in which case we'd go it's probably fine if she just pops up right. Which is

probably what we did. We don't really need a shadow. Guys we've rented this gym for two hours so we gotta shoot all these scenes. So let's talk about Eddie Mecca. Eddie Mecca sure well another great friend great friend of Danny's if I recall correctly. Oh god. No that's hard to tell whether Danny genuinely hated that guy or if he was just in character. I think that's something that Danny does like sometimes if the character is gonna be really upset Danny will stay a little bit upset. But then I can't tell if he starts to become upset because he's been acting upset and it's affecting him or if Eddie Mecca was just annoying and shit out of Danny. Either way those scenes are great. That guy is hilarious.

He's fucking hilarious. He's great. And do you guys remember that okay so when he has the line pan you know don't get your panties in an uproar. That wasn't written. That was not written the line that we wrote. Probably one of the panties in a bunch or twist. I don't remember if it was a twist or a bunch. Either way it was yeah it was the he's in an uproar. And he's like he in a take or or in the rehearsal. I don't remember what it was. He just went up on the line and mixed his metaphors. Did he go up on it. It's so much better panties in an uproar panties in an uproar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Get your panties in an uproar is one of my favorite things anyone said. What will show ever. Then we went to him after

that take or the rehearsal or whenever it was that he said it and we said Eddie you accidentally said don't get your panties in an uproar. That's the line now. Yeah. That is now the line and so that became the line and every other take. Let me ask you about this about this episode. The final sequence the slow motion sequence. Did we shoot that on film. Yes. We shot that with the phantom camera so no it wouldn't have been. Did we have the phantom for that. Yeah. Are you sure because why are the lights blinking. Why is it because we shot it on whatever we shot it on those lights started strobing. Yes. But I don't think we shot it on film. I thought it was we shot it with the phantom which was like

the first super high speed camera. I should look into that. Yeah. I remember that the first time we use the phantom was in the Christmas episode. It could be. But it means maybe we shot this with film but that wouldn't have created that strobing thing. I don't know what I am not sure what we I don't know. We shot it with something different which is because we couldn't slow down our cameras to yeah slow enough to get to get it to look how we want it to look. But I remember it was film. I remember in the editing room we tried a lot of different music choices for that and then when we came across Moonlight Sonata. Yeah. I remember I remember you know we weren't totally sure we're like this is a little felt

like heavy. Yeah. Yeah. It felt heavy and maybe a little yeah right like normally we would we would compose or we would put something very light in such a heavy moment. Right. There was something about it that just was so disturbing and beautiful and I couldn't by the way I had to cover my eyes when she went. I can't watch it when she breaks her neck. It's upsetting. I really can't watch it. How do we do that. We do a reverse. We would not have been sophisticated enough to do that. We were. But then Addius might have. Yeah. So we probably did that in reverse. No. I don't know. I don't know. How do you do that. I could ask Jesse someone pulls her up. Yeah. You would have seen her arm go up. Yeah. I think she went down. I

think she did it really slowly. Maybe. Yeah. I think someone held her arm and oh maybe pulled her up. Maybe. Maybe. God because if we could remember things I will I will ask. We remember enough. You remember most things. I'm upset. You can't remember this. Is it film. Yeah. Or is it some sort of phantom camera or is it a phantom camera. Is it a phantom camera that we shot. Okay. Let's let's put that on the way. It looks terrible. It looks terrible. The strobing guys. Come on. Meg has a note here. Please talk about the background actor in the gym who's holding the towel and keeps looking at the camera. Craig. That guy was great. Yes. I mean. Well he wasn't he wasn't. He wasn't he wasn't and that's why it was

so fun. Yeah. He was he was he was great but not probably for the reasons that he thought. I think I don't know what was going through his head but the absolutely bewildered look on his face was by the way why we put him in that role because we wanted some guy. I just think the name Craig is funny. I apologize to all the Craig's out there but I just think the name Craig is funny. We named him Craig and he's just he's Eddie Mech. He's Bobby Thunderson's lackey and he's just always standing behind him leering and Meg's right. He just was we couldn't get him to stop looking into the fucking camera. That's the guy you're talking about right. Yeah. Yeah. He was so nervous and you know. Yeah. He didn't know

what he was doing. No. He was not an actor. No. He was he was was he an extra sorry. Was he. I think he was an extra's casting that we just grabbed and we said you got a funny look go. Yeah. And then he wanted to be one of the better things of the episode. Just a man who constantly looks like he's worried that he's either that he doesn't know whether he's doing the right thing or that's a little bit of a rip off of the guy in Big Lebowski who's with John to Toro. Yes. Totally. Yeah. He's got like a bowling lackey. Yeah. The guy with the the the the military haircut. Yeah. Kind of overweight guy with the mustache who's been in like also a million movies. Really. Yeah. Always just playing like somebody

in the background or has like one line or something. That guy. Yeah. I know exactly who you're talking about. Yeah. That's a good bit too. Do you remember where the the line I will eat your babies bitch. Yes. Actually I was going to talk about this. Mike Tyson. That's Mike Tyson. But I think he was in an interview and he said I will eat his babies because he was doing an interview with somebody and they were saying like how do you think it's going to go. He's like I'm going to destroy him. I'm going to beat him. I'm going to beat him senseless. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to eat his babies. Mr. Spielberg you came back to the room. Well I just wanted to. OK. Fair enough. Sorry guys. I don't mean

to. I don't mean to interrupt. I just I heard you guys talking about Mike Tyson and I felt like I did a pretty good Mike Tyson impersonation. So I got to get back in the edit. I got to get I got five hundred movies coming out. Well thanks for coming in man. Appreciate it. You're always good to see it now. Doing the montage. Remember you had to break the things over my back. And I remember it hurting more than. Yes. I remember that hurting you too. Yeah. You were you had a bad on it. Still I had some kind of tears. The thing with my back hurt the glass over my head did not hurt. But I ate that. I closed my eyes before you hit me. You know which was like. And I think they were. I remember you being bombed about

that when we did it and us being like it's fine. It's fine. I still watch him like God damn it. Like you know. Yeah. You're supposed to. I mean you know you're supposed to not see it coming and get smashed in the head. Much funnier. Yeah. But what if a little little sugar glass got in your eyeballs. Well and you were. I pulled that car. I remember pulling that car. Yes you did. Pull the car. Not that hard. Not that hard. When a car is a neutral you can pull it. But you think it would be hard and then you're like oh well it's designed to roll. It is designed to roll and it is in neutral. And you know you're not you're not pulling it. You weren't actually pulling it through snow. So. But it must have felt

pretty cool. Felt cool. Yeah. Felt really cool. Yeah. I enjoyed the ride. I enjoyed going for the ride. Is this the first time we use the phrase pop your shirt off. Probably I think so. Yeah. That was a phrase that I admittedly stole from two other college buddies of mine who every once in a while would say that they'd be like let me pop the shirt off and I just remember thinking that's really funny and so we just I just stole it from them. What are the people that you go to college with. I went to college with a lot of people I mean a lot of people went to my college. A lot of people go to college and I knew the people that were at my college. So I called upon them. Well also it was it was an entertainment

driven college. So guys let's just say I went to Juilliard. Yeah. Yeah. No we know. Yeah. We talked about that. I'm sure we have. It's not that interesting but but yeah a lot of Juilliard folks in this and that Jason Vanhover Juilliard Katie Chrysler Juilliard. I feel like we're forgetting. I feel like there's somebody there's other. Oh Sean to me. Oh Sean to me. Sean to me. That's the clown baby scene. That's the clown baby scene. Yeah. Yeah. Sean who we were friends with for like a year and then he went. Yeah. He took off. He took off. Yeah. He went. He went. He was on a pirate reality show. Correct. And then disappeared off the face of the earth. He moved back to Virginia Beach and then Florida.

Right. So in reality he's a pirate. Like what is a reality pirate. Sure. Sure. That's a very fair question. It's a very fair question. This was right at the height. Although. So they were making like new reality type series and become a pirate and create some reality. You live. Yeah. Yes. You lived on a pirate ship. Right. And then the and then you had these various tasks to I guess that were very analogous to the way it was to live as a pirate and then you won. Yeah. You won. Captain Phillips style pirate ship. No. No. No. We're talking about like a black beer. A black beer style pirate ship. I'm sure Pirates of the Caribbean. One eye Willie. Yeah. Yeah. Those pirates. Yeah. Captain Hook. Captain Hook.

He did that. He did that and he was a contestant on that. Correct. And he and then. I don't think he did that well as I recall. I feel like I watched a little bit. I think he got eliminated relatively early but I don't remember why. Which is surprising because he's a big strong strapping pirate type. Intelligent as I recall and quite good with his hands. Good with how was he with his hook. Yeah. Right. That's true. You put a hook on your dominant hand. Yeah. Yeah. That's a thing. I remember I was so Sean to me. You know we would go surfing together and there was this one time where Sean I was at his and Zach Knighton's place because they I believe were roommates or maybe Zach had moved out at that point.

Yeah. But they were right on the beach. So I used to go to his place and we'd surf and you know eat jelly beans afterwards because for some reason that's what surfers do to get the salt taste out of their mouth. That's what we did. I don't know. Anyway. And I needed to ride back to my to my apartment. Sean's like I'll just hop on my motorcycle and we'll I'll go back and and and and now I admit I don't like motorcycles. I'm not I've never been on. I've never really I don't think I'd ever been on a motorcycle and he's like it's fine. This motherfucker like it was like he was in a motorcycle race. Yeah. And I was like Sean fuck. I don't want to die. I don't want to die from this. Sorry bro. It's the

jelly beans coursing through my veins. Yeah. I remember being really fucking pissed off in him for for putting my life in danger. It's like dude I'm going 30 miles an hour. He probably was but he got to 30 it's a motorcycle. He got from zero to 30 too fast. Do you still surf. No I don't surf anymore. No I was never very good at it. If you look closely in that episode I was I was looking at it and going I look strange in this one part in the underground episode I'm like bright red and then Sean Toomey's bright red and I'm like was that hot in there. And then I remembered that that weekend the day before we were out on the beach. You guys are sunburned. So fucking sunburned. Oh shit to set sunburn. That's right. Yeah. And I just

like we could go crazy. Yeah I look crazy and they try to like put makeup on it and you can still tell it's like we're just bright. Yeah Toomey was burned as fucking that same right. Yeah. Both of us. We look ridiculous. The little guy that you go to fight cracks me up. Yeah. The guy in the shot. Yeah. So that's the thing. I really enjoy that we used the song from the cry to kid. And I don't know that that's something that we would do now but I found it very amusing at the time. Cry to Kids is like one of my favorite movies. It still is. That movie holds up. It holds up. I watch it with my kids and loved it. It's fantastic. Yeah. That movie is fantastic. That song is terrible. Yeah. But I love it.

Performed by Mr. Joe Bean Esposito. I don't believe it was written by him. Okay. So they were like you know what who who's the best guy we can get to perform this awesome song. Who's the best around. Who's the best around. Joe Bean. Let's see if we can let's see if we can get Joe. Can we get Joe. He's the best around. Yeah. He's the he's not the best. He's the best that was around. He's around. He's the best that's around right now. There's not the best around. That applies to a karate tournament and recede it doesn't it. Right. He's not the best karate kid on the plan. He's the best around recede the recede around this dough Joe and recede. Yeah. He's the best that they had around. There was another actor in there who was on a television series back in the

mid to late 80s with Bronos with no no no no. Don. Yeah. Yes. Don. Well here's what's even stranger. Okay. So he's Dan. He was. Yes. Okay. So he was on a series with our friend Jason Bateman right called Valerie. Oh that's what it was. And then they change it to Valerie and then they change the Hogan family. I'm sorry I keep interrupting. No it's okay. I'm sorry. You're excited. I like it. It's adding energy to this podcast. Okay. Good. And so he played. He played one of the kids in that in that show. That's what it was. Right. And then his name. So I looked it up because I was like oh I want to look him up. He is credited as Don Ponce. Yes. And I'm like oh okay Don Ponce. So I look up Don Ponce. Don Ponce doesn't exist on IMDB. He just doesn't exist. He's

Daniel Ponce. Well yes. He's sometimes credited as Luis Ponce. Sometimes he's Luis Daniel Ponce. Sometimes he's Danny Ponce. And this time he was Don Ponce. Jesus. He tried on Don Ponce for one credit and then moved on from it. Right. Or we fucked that up. Or much more much more like he was embarrassed that he did our show and didn't want. Also fair. Also fair. Also fair. And the end of your storyline. Yes. Is just you beating him up. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes that's how shit ends. By the way I wanted to ask you. You in the scene leading up to that where you're eating the Hogi. The Hogi. Well actually. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The Hogi. You. You. Oh right. No. That was the seat. Right. When we were when we're in there and we're like you're going to

meet us there. Yes. I'll meet you there. I'll meet you there. And then you go to eat the Hogi and you cycle through so many different emotions. Thanks man. In the eating of that Hogi. Do you remember like thinking. What do you remember thinking when you were shooting that because it's such a strange and interesting choice. I think I remember thinking like how fun it is to just. Right. Completely let it rip. Right. Which is to be like. Okay. That you don't. There's no like. Yeah. Limitation to your choices here because you're a man out of control of yourself. Yeah. And then just trying to feel into each one. And then being pleased as though it's like that really. Well yeah. I just remember thinking it was very funny the idea of like cycling between

extreme joy and like. Teary sadness. Yeah. You know all within like milliseconds. Yeah. It's a little bit bummed I've never kind of gotten to do it again. Like which is like what a fun thing to get to do. Just like let it go man. Like suddenly something amuses you. Dive right into that. Right. And then if you feel a hint of anger for a second. Chase that down. And then you know there's no. Do you feel boxed in now on the show. No. Just in general that would be a very bizarre choice to do for any sort of scene. Yeah. Yeah. Well I don't know if you did it too many times though. It wouldn't be funny anymore. You did it. You did it the one time. Yeah. It was it was special. It was special. Thanks man. I'm proud of that moment. I like it. I like it. I'm

also proud of your outfits and that you know you can't go out. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're great man. I think that's the first time we put you guys in like funny outfits. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well yeah. I don't know. They mean the jihad episode. Right. But that was a costume. Yeah. Put on what we were supposed to be. There's a very stupid silly joke in this that I always thought was really funny and I still think it's funny. I remember it was funny on the day was that we were boxing trainers. So the thought is ostensibly we were waking you up at 4 a.m. to go training. And then so you're you're fast asleep in your in your room and we're banging on the door and you were slowly waking up. And the joke is it's guys 11 am. It's so stupid. But it's so

funny to me. Yeah. There's no actual clock in my apartment. So I just have to look somewhere on the wall. It's 11 am. Now was the idea that that the the bag of chips and the beer that's in your hand as you're waking up was from the night before. Yeah. Right. I guess you wake up in the morning. Have some chips and beer and fall back asleep. Fall back asleep. Not sure. Not determined. Do you remember there's a little debate as to whether or not you're going to bang that rubber. Yeah. I wanted a metal trash can. And they were like did. Yeah. Yeah. And production was like you can't do that. But I'm like it's funnier if it's going to crash and make a metal noise. Right. And we tried to figure out how to safely do it. I was like aren't they kind of like wait like want to

like dent it naturally. Well now what we would do is we'd go to the props department and we'd be like we want it to look like a metal trash can figure it out. And then we would walk out of the room and that would be the end of it. And then we would show up on the day and if there wasn't a metal trash can there or one that looked like one heads would fucking roll. Because we're me. When was the last time a head rolled on this show. We don't roll heads. We're nice. What about fights. What about fighting. Have we talked about fighting on the show. Have we. I don't think no we haven't talked. I don't think we've talked about like are you talking about like us getting in actual fights. Us as the people as people not a lot of fighting in a hundred dollar baby. Yeah. Us as

human beings and physical altercations. Yeah boy. Well I know Sean to me that was like you were alluding to this already but he was like known for just beating the shit out of people and I would not want to get into a fight with him. He's a big guy but he's also like he was like an amateur boxer. I'm also happy to say I never witnessed it. I wouldn't want to see that. Well we were all. Pirate right. And also pirates. Pirates they don't play by the same rules. You know what I mean. No he's got a knife in his teeth and a parrot that will you know the parrot might attack you. The parrot's going to get involved. Yeah he's going to peck your eyes out. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. Parrot knows it's going to get some good crackers. It takes eye out.

Yeah. Polly wants an eyeball. Yeah. Polly wants a finger. I'll say this about the episode. Going back to the episode. I did I did feel like watching it that we are really with the show hitting some sort of stride where we're like well this feels like a TV show where you know you watch the first season and you're like well what is this what are we doing and then by by this time I feel like we're we're finding our own voice and I I notice that we transition from some scenes without any music and I'm like we should go back to that. Like there's some scenes we just like the one where you're rubbing my shoulders we just cut into the bar and there's no like. Oh that would have that would have ruined it. That would have

ruined it because it's the silence the awkward silence between the hmm yeah yeah and the breaths that that makes it funny so you put music under that you you you fuck it up you fuck it up. I would say in general we score our show much less than other shows score things because to me it's it's it's sometimes it's a little bit of a cheat right it's like the scene's not working we need to put music in here to make the scene work now we do do that sometimes we do it's amazing how sometimes it fixes it fixes it like where you're working right song working a scene working singing like cut something's off and then you're like let's try one of our sunny cues and oh my god the scene works yeah all of a sudden it works or you score it with something else yeah I think

we were resistant to that too because this was around the time and then that continued for a few years where like there was like these big hit network comedies that were on and it would be wall to wall music right and wall to wall wall it would never let up yep and these shows drove me crazy on you'd they'd be marketed to hell you'd see billboards from everywhere they'd be the new smash hit for six weeks and then you know yeah some wacky fucking score just going through every single scene it drove me insane drove me crazy yeah so we made a we actually made a very conscious effort not to do that as I recall yeah what what I'm just I like I like that we feel we constantly are making a joke about on this show about how things and this is based on a bit we do in the

show that we just do do a bunch of things and then it just sort of ends and I'm getting that truly is the what the podcast is like you all collectively feel like it's just sort of yeah you kind of feel it right over right energy starts to divorce it I mean guys we're in we've done 50 minutes you know we're gonna cut 20 minutes out maybe yeah maybe it's all gold I don't know yeah I know those feel like we start digging at a certain point but I do no I will say though I do want to say this one last thing like about this episode to me there's something about it that does feel like is this I mean am I wrong in thinking this is the first time we really kind of did an episode that really just is not about a sort of a major issue it's just a dumb fucking

episodes with the characters the episode where the characters just doing dumb shit well the you know what I mean I brought this up about the one where I where I'm saying I felt like McBanks Dennis's mom was just about the characters and their relationship to one another and yeah yeah and it's just the last episode well it's okay he just forgot one thing that I said but that's just the one thing just the one thing just the one thing yeah he never let go of the parking in his mind the whole episode yeah I struggled on that last one guys I really did I was not I just wasn't really in a good mood and I have a lot of energy and I was I think you're right I think coming in it I think doing the podcast at noon is anything past 10 is really just you know you're

getting you know we should try we should do one podcast well these have been heavily caffeinated for you but we should try one where you're just fucking hammered we should do one like that we should see what happens right yeah we talk about that in the end in this episode where we're just like well everything is going to be enhanced with us being drunk yeah get in get get a little brown in us maybe some brown mm-hmm yeah we give a shot sure I'm hey listen man we should try one where we try crack and then try a podcast you know that's that's what we should be doing we should have had some steroids for this one and crack for the other one we should have banged each other's mothers wow yeah yeah yes yeah yeah you're right Charlie you know and I should

have been like you know it's interesting about begging mothers and then you would actually have something to talk about like like something concrete yeah they're in their 70s oh boy some sort of thing like that yeah well guys this has been great and we'll see you on the next one
