The Always Sunny Podcast - The Gang Solves the North Korea Situation

Episode Date: April 4, 2022

What else can we break?

You know what I got in here, guys, that you don't have? It's a standing desk. I got a standing desk. Yeah. We are currently at the production offices of some show nobody's ever heard of called Mythic Quest. A different mythic quest production office. Yeah, this is.

But what people don't realize is how shitty television studios actually are. Rob, what is this contraption you have in your office? Well, I did not have this installed. Clearly, this was installed sometime in the mid 70s based on the styling, the wood styling. We don't make things that are that size. They only have one button on them anymore, which is a waste of space.

You want to see what happens? Well, hold on a second. Let's describe for the listener what we're looking at here. We're looking at like a rectangular box, right? A wooden box with a black button in the center. And that's it attached to some cord coming off. Very long cord. And doesn't this cord sort of remind you of an electrical cord

from your childhood? Yes. Yeah. Old school, early 80s, very like it's going to cause a fire type of course. Yes. The technology is. OK. And when you first found this box, was it mounted under a desk? I believe it was on the side of a desk. Mounted on the side of a desk. It was hidden away.

Very doctor. No. Very gold finger. Yes. Right. Yes. So now this this person with this mysterious button on their desk, let's let's see what the button does. OK. Yeah. So Rob is going to push the button. He's pushing it now and it is shutting the door. Shutting the door. The office.

Now, how many people are were sitting in this office and saw that door close and got real scared? Yeah. What did she think? Right. Or he. Well, definitely. Well, it could have been he. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, it could have been. It could have been. That's what I'm saying. I mean, look, I'm not talking about a female executive. I'm talking about a male executive. Even if it's a male executive. Yeah, for sure. Getting what he wants. Even if that button wasn't used for assault, just the intimidation alone.

I know. Like you come in and we're going to talk. You're like, so, you know, like, I've noticed something about your work. And then you hear the click and the door. Now, Megan also has one. Just therefore, I have one in my office. So this office had multiple. Yeah. Yeah, it's two offenders. Potential sounds.

Can we admit something to you? Can I admit something to you? I love it. I love it, too. You use it all the time. You wind up using it all the time. Now, is there a possibility that the button was installed because in this particular office that there were people that maybe had a disability that made it difficult to get to the door?

And so they said, let's just make it easier for them. There's not a lot of ramps though into this office or anything. No, so it doesn't lock the door. I feel that's a very important part. It does not lock the door. Now, that makes a big difference. Now, there should be two buttons. There should be one that closes it and one that locks up.

That's a lot of buttons. Because if it won't have a desk full of buttons, they need like an operator. And you're the boss, you know, you don't want to look like the employee without having to push too many buttons. Two buttons took up a lot of space back in the day, didn't it? Yeah. These days, you can get buttons real close together and they don't even need to be actual buttons.

They can just be on a screen. No, now you can just say things. Right. Alexa. Alexa, close the door. Alexa, lock the door. Alexa, lock the door. Alexa, make this person like me. Oh, yeah.

You know what I mean? Or respect me or fear me. Fear me. That's what the buttons are about. Yeah. Hollywood was a shady place. Not anymore. No, we sorted it out.

Yeah, we sorted it all out, everybody. I think, right? We got rid of the bad ones. Yeah, we sent some to jail. Some of them. Yeah, some of them got sent to jail. Some of them got sent to Europe. Some sent themselves to Europe.

And some sent themselves to Europe, which is the jail of the world. But we... Europe, jail of the world. Not a bad. I knew you'd go to Paris now. Oh, no. OK.

But anyway, we sorted it out and all the monsters are gone and now Hollywood's great. Megan, when was the last time you ran into a Hollywood monster? Well, I only work with you guys, so never. Great answer. Don't cut that. Don't cut that. Give us time.

Yeah, I give us time. Yeah. We'll get there. So what are we doing here today? Well, first of all, we're here to talk about the gang solves the North Korea situation. That's the episode that we're discussing today. But in an earlier podcast,

I believe we had discussed some of my wildest dreams, right? Things that I'd grown up seeing in movies, such as sinking in quicksand and, you know, cutting open a bag of cocaine and putting on your gums and, you know, and then one of them, I believe, that came up over the course of the conversation was kicking in a door. Yeah.

Yeah. Right? I think, Megan, you set this up. I tried to get quicksand and cocaine, but it didn't come through. But I found a door. Sinking and cocaine. This is what I'm talking about.

That was fun. This is when you need a Hollywood monster. Because a monster's going to get it. The person who had that button had the cocaine, and if they were truly diabolical, had some quicksand. Yes. Well, he had access to it.

He knew the right people to cut. I want some quicksand, though, bro. I can seek you in quicksand. There are benefits to working with monsters. They can get whatever you need. True. You yell at the right person enough. It's the only way to get someone out of a four-picture deal.

Just sink them in quicksand. Yeah. But the thing about quicksand is you get to watch it happen slowly, and the person has the opportunity to change their mind. Right? So you can pull them out of the quicksand. You're like, you're going down.

This is happening. That's what you're called slow sand. Yeah, it's not so. It's not quick at all. It should be called slow sand. Why is it quicksand? It's very slow. It is slow.

But in the spirit of making those dreams come true and an acknowledgement of a moment of this episode, there is a door that is constantly trying to be kicked open in this episode. Yeah. Trying to bash it open. I tried my own home keys, which I'd forgotten about. Yeah, that's a great joke.

That was an Adam Stein joke, wasn't it? There's a lot of. I don't know. I think that was an Adam Stein joke. It could have been. That's great. I think that was a lot of. There's a lot of martyr and Roselle in this episode.

Oh, they are all over this episode. Yeah, all the racist parts. That's that. Yeah, that's exactly how. All the racism is. Oh, we can't throw them under the bus like that. Oh, yeah, racism was also us. I was going to say, are we going to discuss the bamboo flute?

Are we going to discuss the. We made some poor choices. Our hearts were in the right place, but the behavior was wrong. I think as the filmmakers, we made some. Some questionable decisions. Yeah, yeah, I think I think you're right. I think you're I think that's fair to say.

Charlie, you're a musician. Is that flute called a bamboo flute? Am I correct in saying that? I don't know. I don't I don't know the racist instruments. We can't always get it right. Sometimes we fuck it up. I'll tell you what we got.

I'll tell you what we got right. OK, leather dusters, dusters. Yeah, hilarious door doors marked pirate. Mm hmm. It's a very enjoyable. Some classics. I think even you guys doing the the. I know I.

Judges was very funny. It was funny when we set it up. I was like cringing because I was like, oh, this is one of the ones where we were we parody something and it's going to lock us and date us. And then I watched the scene. I was like, it's funny. It's hilarious.

Super funny. Even if you don't know the reference, Danny being like, no, it's a no dogs. No, it might be funny or if you don't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. I got again, I got to highlight Caitlyn's drunk acting. I mean, my God, her.

Caitlyn's drunk acting is fantastic in this episode. You've got some you've got some moments that really made me laugh hard. And so too, like your your whole explanation of the threat color. Oh, that was a real thing, too. Yeah, that was the other thing. That was a real that was a real.

George Bush's George Bush's color coded threat. Yeah, alert system or whatever that was called. Yeah, so we were spoofing that. But I love I also love how like you're yelling and then you go and then and then, you know, Dee says something about like, you're not going to take over my talent show. She's like, that's already done.

And like, you just completely drop it. Yeah. You know, we're taking over the talent show. Also, how angry you are at her for her impression of Rosie Perez. Yes, you're constantly like yelling at her and getting angry at her in this episode that in a way that is just so funny to me.

Well, I remember. So this is the introduction of the Duster. And I remember that it's such a long speech. And I think I remember getting really upset with myself because I'm trying to deliver it, but not. But I it was so long and I was just trying to get through it as quickly as possible to like get out the information.

And I remember that the glasses, that was like a last minute thing where Casey, our our our prop master was out in front of Patties and was like, I was thinking you might want some sunglasses. I'm like, well, let me look at him. And he showed me like a group of and I just put them on. And I think the first take, I remember walking in with it and you guys just started laughing.

And then from that point forward, it was impossible to get through a take. Yeah. Yeah, that was good. That was a good that's a that's a good look, man. That's a it's a fun look. It's a fun look. The duster is undeniably the most bad ass coat. I love I love the part where you can't hear Dennis on the other end and you're just that is amazing when you call him. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, to glow.

And then and then it's implied that he's like, fuck this, I'm coming over. Yes, yes. Yeah. And you don't know, don't. And then you hang up your while I call him. And then I'm laughing. There's a lot of good stuff in this episode. And and the twists and turns of the story are really fun. I mean, Danny jumping in in the slow mo shot, which again, had that flicker.

So I feel like yeah, our version of slow mo in those first two, three seasons. We never figured this out. Were we using some different kind of camera? I don't know what we used for that. Do you remember what kind of camera we used for that particular slow motion sequence? I just remember we used the phantom when we shot the Christmas episode. Yes. Then we must have been using that phantom thing

because we shot the Christmas episode at the end of season four. So you have to adjust for the lights to make sure that they don't flicker like that. I mean, I I know it's it's very it's very strange. I did enjoy the addition that I believe we just added in post of the the six million dollar man. Yeah, that makes it really work for me. That's pretty good. Also, your moment where you're like, where you're like, wait, so you're going to spray my fiancee with water

or exposing the rest to the entire crowd. That's really bad. That's what I'm talking about. I mean, there's some dicey shit in there. Yeah. But you guys get in trouble for it. It's like I know it doesn't happen. But I know. But, you know, the fact that we're like,

it's what what a change in times, right? Because we we knew it's not like we're getting caught off guard here. I mean, like, oh, man, these guys are behaving badly. Like, of course, we're like, let's set up a bunch of bad behavior and then have these people pay the price and lose. And that was sort of what the show was. And it's interesting to look at it now and say, oh, man, that behavior is bad. Like, no, totally.

But, you know, it's that thing that it's the wherever our meter is. Like when we're in the writer's room and there are certain things where we're like, that doesn't feel right. That feels like it's too far. And I think our meter then was just in a different place than it is now. Meaning like it just gives us a little bit more of a. Yeah, more positive and say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I personally want to get to Glenn kicking the door in really badly, because I feel like that's like exciting and fun. And I feel like talking about the episodes is boring. I think it is. But then when I'm out in the world, apparently a lot of people are listening to the podcast, which is great everywhere I go. More people are telling me that they're listening to the podcast than actually watch any of the shows we make.

And they do enjoy us talking about the episodes and reminiscing. Do you find this part of the podcast exciting? I find it boring. Oh, it's not that I. Well, you know what it is for me? I sometimes feel like it feels like self-indulgent. It's like it's just like like like people talking about something that they already did and then patting themselves on the back.

Yeah. And then they remember that time. That's what the podcast is. Yeah. That was the original concept for it. I know. I understand. It's a bad concept. I understand the like. Too far to dinner. But yeah. We're in it now.

We're in it now. I will say that I think I can see how it could be interesting. Certainly my interests in in what I like to do. Align with the podcast where people would be talking about the process. So if there was a, you know, if there's a podcast with certain filmmakers, I'm I want to hear every detail, you know, but that's me. And I know I'm a limited amount of the audience here. You know, I'm actually I'm one person.

But I don't know. Yeah, we should kick in some doors and that might get us really going on. So Charlie, before we do, though, we're wearing besides your orange outer shirt or rust color, let's call it. We're wearing the same colors. Look at your teeth. This is like a truck. Of course.

Similar, though. Very similar. Blue. It's blue. And your pants are black and mine are black. Anybody who's watching on YouTube and all the listeners, not only is this boring, but it's not even true. What Glenn is wearing completely different colors than Charlie.

Charlie, we're wearing the same outfit. They don't know if they don't watch, you know, a lot of people watch. And I like that Glenn calls them creeps. And I think we should just call them the creeps. Well, when you call someone a watcher, it just sounds creepy. I'm not saying their creeps. I'm just saying when you call someone a watcher, it sounds great. It's like call someone a listener.

It's like, yeah, listener. Right. But I think maybe that's kind of fun that if the audience on the who's listening to this in on the drive to and fro work, they're the listener and anybody who's watching is a creep. I think that's kind of fun. OK. That's the creep audience.

Yeah. All right. I just want to look in. Definitely try to alienate as many people as possible. It seems like a great idea. Let's see how many of these creeps want to see me kick a door in. Yeah. All right.

Let's do one for the creeps. Oh, all right. This one's for you. OK. All right, we're going to try to kick a door in in this office. Yeah. We have a door marked. I'm very excited about this, guys.

I always wanted to kick. Yeah, let's talk about it a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Tell me about it. Well, I've already got it out there. How are you feeling? Yeah.

Are you are you limber at this point? Are you stretched out? We should we should have you stretch. Yeah, I could I could probably stand to stretch a little bit more. OK, let's let's guess how many kicks it's going to take. I think I think one. I think one. But but two at the most, they won't take any more than two.

Yeah. All right, let's kick a door in. Let's do it. Let's get to work here. Check my angles, guys. Check my angles. Make sure we got a camera inside as well to get the inside. Oh, OK.

And then we've got a wide there. So you're going to kick it in. But what's the story? Like take us through because like let's take us take us to a place. Right. How are you feeling right now? I'm feeling I'm feeling good. I'm not that warmed up.

I do want to say. Don't see the folks. Yeah, folks, I do want to make this very clear that I never took martial arts in my entire life. What? Really? Yeah, so that. So what you're about to see is happening in real time.

So you're not even a ninja. And you think you're going to be able to kick the story? Ninjas don't kick indoors for the record. I they sneak in with their sneakier than that. They're much sneakier than that. OK, this is more of a sort of a SWAT team type situation. Yes, I like that. OK.

And can I ask a question? Yeah. Is it more fun if it's Glenn kicking in the door or do you want to play one of those characters from the 80s? Meaning you have a story and there's somebody or something in that door that you need to get to. Because you want to say something cool. After you kick it in, you want to come into the door,

into your camera and there and announce something. That's right. Who are you looking for? Where's the girl? We live your dream here for. Like, yeah, what's the what's the line? What's the narrative, you know? Where's the girl?

Something like that. That could that could be the villain or the hero. I don't know. How do you get your kicks? Oh, you wanted to be like a one liner. OK. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, OK. Let's go is just a great one.

Boom. Let's go because what I think also like commit to it, right? So if it doesn't work once, don't stop. Like keep going until it opens and you might. If you wind up putting a hole like through the door, you might have to bash through it like the the the high sea guy. The high sea guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Kool-Aid guy. The Kool-Aid guy. Sorry, the Kool-Aid guy. Oh, yeah. That's what you should say. That's the fucking. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, here comes.

All right, it's somebody else. All right, ready everybody? Yeah, here we go. Glenn's lined up. He's lined up. OK. OK, here we go. Oh, yeah.

So easy. Now you damaged the door. But yeah, come check this out. I mean, let's grab the camera here. You went straight into the drywall. So let me get a shot here into the drywall. We made it more stuff to fix a hole. So how do you feel right now, Glenn?

How do you feel? An exhilaration that I haven't felt in quite some time. Well, what else can we break? Is this a? So this one, you don't want to break the glass. But out here, again, oh, just for the creeps out there, this is the beautiful LA River. I know you've heard a lot about the rivers in LA,

and this is one of them. This is the one. Earlier, before we were discussing kicking in the door, we noticed there was some real flimsy wood. Mm-hmm. And we were thinking, gosh, this was wood that you could almost karate chop right through. It's bendy.

Really wouldn't even take that much. You could do an elbow, maybe. There's another bar underneath it that I'm afraid you could break. But I wonder if you could kick that first. Well, you could easily kick through it. But now we're fast talking about kicks and we're into chops. I think you could chop through that.

No, no. There's a good chance. It's not even full. It's popping up on the side. But there's a good chance you go to chop this. No, don't do that. Well, don't do that. I think you could chop as hard as you wanted,

and you actually would not break through this. Oh, see, he's making it a challenge, which I understand. I feel like what I want to do, though, is remove this. Because if you remove this, I'm afraid if you go through it. Because you're going to chop so hard that you're hoping you'll go through all three pieces of wood. Let's rip it. All right.

You need to put something on top of this to absorb the blow, although a ninja doesn't. I'm not a ninja. Well, again, the Glenn's not a ninja. I'm not a ninja. No, and ninjas don't do that. That's too noisy. Well, I think we've learned that this piece of old particle

wood is too tough for the three of us. What about that brick? You think we could smash the brick through it? Yeah. Smash on one of our heads. Am I the one doing it, though? Or I'll do it. What's he doing?

I just, yeah. Is he breaking it with the brick? It's like a hammer. Oh, the brick just bounced right off of it. But it did splinter the wood, making it far more choppable. OK, all right. OK, this is exceptionally choppable now. Yeah.

The brick did splinter it from the bottom. I mean, the security is going to be here at any time. Yeah, any minute. We're going to get in trouble. Do this with my right hand. These are all right. All right, we did it. Now you're not technically all the way to the wood.

He put it back. Well, this is the problem. So can you? Yeah. We tore it. We tore it. I mean, this is what these studios are made of. Just that's sexual assault, broken dreams, broken wood.

This is Hollywood, people. This is Hollywood. Well, we're back. Well, we've done it. We've broken things. We've kicked things. And Glenn, how do you feel? Wait.

Oh, Rob has pushed the button, is closing the door for the non-watchers. For the listeners. For the listeners. Door's closed. Glenn, how do you feel? He asked me in his creepiest voice. How do you feel? You know, I think, you know, honestly, it was, that was exhilarating.

Yeah, right? That was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. I did not, in fact, stay in character, like I promised, because I didn't want to. But then I kind of came out of character because I was like, that was too fucking easy. And then remembered I had a line and, you know, so had that been my one take, I would have fucking blown it. But I would like to do it again.

I would like to do it again. And I would like to do it again with a, that was a particularly flimsy door. Yeah. Not even, I wonder if it's just the fact that the door is locked and a lock sort of symbolizes no to you. And you kicking in that lock says, no, I will not be constricted. Right. Will not be constrained.

Constrained by the laws of physics. America. Or America. City to county. Or this flimsy door. I am godlike, you know, like that's, I wonder if that's why it feels so good. Yeah, absolutely. It would have been cool to kick the door clean off the hinges.

Like that. That feels great. Yeah, that'd be bad. That would require the door to really be bolted on both sides from a physics standpoint. Oh, yes. Which I'm sure of the science. Yeah. No, you're right.

Glenn, you did a pretty impressive spin kick in the episode to try to kick the door. I'm sure he's glad you brought that up. Well, sure. Yeah. I mean, listen, I, again, you know, as I made it clear earlier, never taken any martial arts class in my entire life. And the first time I'd ever attempted a spin kick in my entire life was when we did that bit on the show.

Wow. And I have to say, like, it, it shows. It looks pretty good. No, I thought it looked good. It looked pretty good. I think the duster makes it look good. The duster. The duster enhances anything.

Oh, sure. You guys can't give me this. You can't give me this. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta credit the duster for, for my form on my kick. I don't know enough about spin kicks. Well, that's what your form, whether it was good or bad. I think it's good. I like it.

I think it looks like a good spin kick. Yeah. And I think the duster, I think both things are true. It enhances. The duster makes it look awesome. It enhances. Because there are flaps and leathers flying everywhere. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, the leathers. This, that section of this, that whole episode is, I think the show at its finest, but we are arguing about the way like we have a conflict, which is that there's, we want to get past this locked door. Yeah. But then. We have the same goal.

It even starts even earlier as you're entering the bar. Right. We're arguing about who should have worn the duster. You have a very specific goal that you're both aligned with, right, or aligned on. And then you, and then you very quickly are arguing about something, about how to achieve that goal. Yeah. And who should be wearing the duster.

Mm hmm. And just the added level of conflict of, you know, I think I'm going to try my keys. No, that's not going to work. But what's really funny is that we're, we're conflicted, but we're in this particular one. We're not like really at each other's throats about it, which is funny. It's like a, like mild conflict. So like, I don't think you're thinking, let me try my thing. Well, and you're going back and forth, which is like, you're there on a mission, but you,

one of you wants to wear that. You both think you should wear the duster. And then, okay, let's get back to the mission. But wait, both of you are on the same page. You've got to drink the beer. Micro beers. Let's definitely drink the beer. And then we'll get back on the same page.

And then you're looking around, right? You're on the same team. And then Charlie sees the door, who lives behind that door. Yeah. Yeah, that's another great one. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's like, what do you think was, let's find out.

Let's find out. Let's stop arguing about. And find out what lives in there. And find out what lives in there. Yeah. Do you think a pirate lives in there? Yeah. Was that pirate private stuff scripted or did you guys just make that up on the day?

The key thing was scripted because I wouldn't have had a key chain in my pocket. The key thing was scripted and I'm almost positive that was an Adam Stein joke. Yes. I think the pirate joke was an Adam Stein joke. No, I think that's what I think it was. I think the pirate joke was an Adam Stein joke. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. The key thing I think was my, it was my idea. Oh, it may have been. Because I just remember thinking it was so dumb, someone would try their own keys, but also like kind of. Kind of made sense. Kind of made just enough sense that you're like, well, I guess it's worth a drive. No, sorry, Adam Stein.

I tried to give you credit. Yeah. I'm giving him credit. Yeah, for the credit. For the pirate. Arguably the better joke, which is the pirate joke. Pirate private. Yeah.

Mary Elizabeth reminded me of something that I'd forgotten, but there was a background performer in the scene who when we were banging ourselves against the door, Fred had to keep giving them the note because the person kept doing the universal sign for that person's crazy or you crank your finger in a circle and roll and pointed at the side of your head and roll your eyes and something no one has ever done ever to describe someone who's crazy. That person's crazy. Right. What does that meant to symbolize your, your, your brain is like tumbling around inside

your head. Like maybe. Yes. Yes. It's like a fucking cement mixer. Yeah. It's flipping over and over and the network should be. Yeah.

And I remember that being one of the first times that seeing a director like have to tell a background performer like, Hey, man, take it, take it on a notch. Yeah. It's, it's, it's awkward. Well, actually, I think the director is not supposed to talk to, it's, it's got to be AD, right? That's what it was. Right.

So the director has to tell the assistant director who can tell, talk to them. That's a DG. Is that a DGA ruler? Is that a, is that a background artist rule? It's a crazy ass rule that makes no sense. It is crazy. Crazy ass rules that make no sense. Have you guys seen the most recent news on daylight savings?

It looks like we're going to do away with it. Yeah. Or is that? Well, the Senate voted unanimously. The Senate voted unanimously. Well, the house, it's not up to the house quite yet. It's not, it's not been brought to the house. So we don't know when that's going to happen.

I thought things started with the house of representatives and then went to the Senate. Am I crazy? I think it goes from the Senate to the house, to the house, but I don't know. I thought things went from the house to the Senate. I would have thought that. Yeah. I would have thought the other way. I would have thought.

All four of us don't know. There's less power, so then it goes to the house, then it goes to the Senate, and then it becomes a bill on Capitol Hill. Remember that? Remember that card too? Yeah. Absolutely. They have an equal amount of power, but each individual member has less power because

that's right. There's many, many more of them than our senators. But it still has to pass that. And I just read a whole article about how we as a nation have done this before. In 1970, we did this for two years. We tried it and it never passed. Yes, and it didn't work, and people were miserable. The public at the time overwhelmingly decided, let's get rid of it.

And then two years later, they're like, can we have that back, please? And it was re-enacted. Wait, who? The people? The people wanted it back? Yes, the people wanted it back. What did they? Mostly, it was throwing people off to be getting up in the morning while it's dark for such

a long period of time. But it's darker now when we wake up in the morning. Yeah. It's like ruining people's circadian rhythms. Fuck your circadian rhythm. I'm sorry. Well, that circadian rhythm is going to get locked in when you just stick with it for a while.

Sure. That's what wires it in, right? Well, we can also just shift. It looks like it goes from the house to the Senate. Yeah. So then what happened? Why did the senators just decided, we're just going to do this? Right.

So. No, we'll kick it to you. Okay, guys, we're going to... This is less exciting than kicking doors down. Definitely. I think this is great stuff. By the way. I like that people tune in to get this information.

Yes. Absolutely. Well, that's what podcasts are all about. Actually, it's not even disinformation. It's just a lack of information. Yeah. Yeah. We're serving up zero information.

Yes. No information being served. I will say, I saw some comments on the, we were posting, we posted a clip, I think, this morning or maybe it was, I don't know, recently where we're talking about the daylight savings thing. I saw one comment on there because I do like to read some of those comments and one person was saying something like, well, no, no, we do need daylight savings time because it's important for the plants and the animals to have the maximum amount of sunlight.

You know what I mean? Because if they don't, then it's going to affect the plant life. And then somebody commented below them, do the plants and animals know what time it is? No, that's an idiot. I couldn't tell if they, maybe they were being mind of a joke. That's almost too dumb. That's almost too dumb. It seems, it's, see, it felt serious.

I don't know. A lot of people have devices that, and they can write things down now and put them out in the world. Yep. And they're not smart. Just like us. Yeah. We can, dude, we can put things out in the world.

We have a major platform and we don't know how the house works. We're not smart. I mean, this is, that's a revelation right there. Let's say what, that we're not, we're discovering that we're not smart. Yeah, but we can kick in a door. Charlie was just suggesting that some people should not. You kick in a door? You kick in a door?

I don't think so. I don't know when things go to the Senate, but can you kick in a door? I've never seen you make that face before. I've never made that face. Can I see it again? Oh. That looks like a puppet version of you. A puppet?

He's making a puppet. He's scrunching his face in a music way. I don't know when things go to the Senate, but can you kick in a door? Well, we had a lot of people try to kick in the doors of the Senate. That was interesting. Yeah. We did that. We did that.

We're a nation of door kicker-inners, so what can we say? I kicked in a door. I mean, I kicked in a door in the episode prior, right? You did. You did. Yes. We just didn't see it happen. Too well.

It was the first time we were on the inside. The first time we didn't see it, but the second time when I come in and address, you know. Oh, that's right. What do I say? Behold. Behold. A man in all his glory, or something.

Yeah. If you really want to get into something, Rob, go ahead and needle Glenn about the drinking and water. Oh, you know, we should do a listener poll. We should do a listener poll. And for anybody who's listened to the podcast. Don't make, you're going to get up, you're going to slap another poll on Glenn? Well, yeah.

He keeps polling you, dude. Oh, you're just as bad as our government. Just all. I'm fascinated by you thinking that you have this revelation. You've come up with this like this hangover cure that nobody's ever heard of. Yeah. And what is that, Rob? But it's it's having a drink and then drinking a glass of water.

Wrong. You're already wrong. Right off the bat. And this is why. And this is why I know. And this is why I know that your arguments fucking bullshit because right off the bat, you don't even know. You don't even remember what my formula was.

Okay. What's your formula? No, I don't want to, I don't want to tell you anymore because you're just going to find me. You don't want me to reap the benefits. I'm happy for you to reap the benefits. The problem is that you, you know, you, and you said the same thing earlier, like, oh, you know, you think you made up the thing.

I'm not saying I'm the first person to do it. I'm just saying I discovered. It's your method. Are you? No, I just am saying I discovered a way to get drunk and not get a hangover. That's all I said. I didn't say I'm the first to ever do it. And no one's ever done it besides me.

It's the word. It's the term discovered. That makes it seem like it's discovered for myself. And then you were presenting it as a revelation to us as if we, yes, but you don't remember what it was. So you're, you're saying it isn't, but you don't remember what it was. Could you tell us what it is? I'm happy to.

Okay. Uh, you pick a, uh, a clear liquor. I would argue vodka is better than tequila, but either one, I think works because they're both, uh, they have less impurities in them. And you drink, you do a shot of that. And then you, like if you're at a party, you drink a bottle of water and then you do another shot and then you drink enough. And then you kept, what you do is you carry around the party, you carry a bottle of water.

You make sure you drink as much water as you drink booze. Well, you're actually drinking. More water. I'd say what, like around 10 times as much. Can we rewind the tape? Yeah. Just so you didn't say, I said, for every drink you have, you drink a glass of water. And that's not my formula.

I'm lost. Am I, am I being gaslit? Uh, well, no, no, no, no, I'm being gaslit because what is it? Okay. Define, define an alcoholic drink only clear, are only clear liquors or alcohol drinks. Well, first of all, that's the first time I've heard you say clear liquor. I said that on the podcast when I said the formula. I don't know if that's true.

I feel like I would want a hundred percent. I had to watch that episode. Clean. Because you're looking for a clean, a clean, a clean, a clean, a clean, a clean, a clean, a clean. It's gotta be clean, brother. When Jill stays sharp. When Jill stays sharp.

Yeah. She's got a clean. Yeah. It's gotta be clean. It's gotta be pure if it wants to get inside my body. Okay. So besides, besides that, the, the choosing of the liquor. Yeah.

Besides that, you got it right. Yeah. I just like that you guys use that button to close the door and now you're in here arguing about your polls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Megan.

I was trying to do a joke. It didn't work. I get to cut that. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta keep that in there. Keep that for yourself. I just want to say, I just want to say though, I, I'm not saying that I invented it and nobody's

ever done it before. I'm just saying I discovered, I discovered for myself that that was a way of drinking and, and then in order to experiment with it, I was like, Jill, you should try this because we were going to a thing and she was like, I just, I'm going to get a, I'm going to get a hangover. And I'm like, I have a thing. Try this. And then she did it.

Yes. And she was like, oh my God. You know, she had the right response because she actually tried it. Not two people have never fucking done it. What? I mean, I literally do it every single time I drink. You drink vodka. I recognize.

You didn't drink any water in the drink episode at all. I had the taste. I do recognize that the more water I drink, the less hungover I'm going to be. Everybody in the world knows that. But that was. Wait. So can you talk about your, can you talk about your hangovers that you had after we recorded that episode?

Sure. Oh God. Who had the worst? Did we not talk about this yet? I don't think so. Definitely. Yeah. You got sick, right?

Just because, just because I texted you guys. So I only know I had it the worst because we texted with each other and I don't. I don't. I mean, I, I knew I was like, Charlie drank the most because you had two beers. Yeah. I had three beers. You had three. Yeah.

Oh, okay. And Glenn, I don't even know if you've finished that one beer, but then Rob and I just did the shots. Well, I, I, I mean, again, I want to, part of the problem was I didn't eat any. Anything. Yeah. Well, I, it's not that I didn't eat anything. I barely ate anything.

I had like a couple of bites or something and some potato chips, but like that's not, you can't do that and have seven shots of whiskey. It's just, I was, I was annihilated. I was surprisingly okay, which made me kind of worried. Like I got up and did work. Actually the next day I had to come and break down the whole studio and like put all the mics away and everything. And it felt distinctly like, do you ever do that in like college where you threw a party

in your house and then the next morning you had to like be around the party stuff. And it's always like the worst when you have the hangover and you're around. It's just the smell of the old beer. But back, but back when I was doing that, it was like, you would be picking up cigarette like red cups with like cigarette butts. Oh, remember when you like pick up a beer that you thought was yours and you go to drink it? That doesn't exist anymore.

Right? I guess it still does. People are still doing that. Yeah. People are still doing that. It's not as often as you can smoke indoors. Most people smoke in general, I think. I definitely felt like shit the next day for sure, but I always feel like crap after I

drink now. And always in my life did, you know, fucks me up. I had what basically amounts to the flu for the first half of the next day. Like I was not out of bed and even remotely functional until about one or two in the afternoon. That's a shame because you guys were, you were so fun. Both of you were so fun. It's also, but like bourbon, I don't, I don't know, my body doesn't metabolize bourbon well.

Let's do the next one with vodka. Okay. All right. Fuck it. Let's do the next one with vodka or tequila and we'll do the goddamn thing with the water. And I'm going to bring up. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to, we're going to drink, we're going to drink nine shots and you're going

to drink all that water and then you're going to wake up the next day and you're going to feel like shit. Well, nine shots. Water you have. No, no, nine shots. I'm with you there. I'm with you there. That's just that.

It doesn't matter how much water you drink. The alcohol will poison you. Well, I'm with you there. No, you, I will. Yes. I will concede that. Absolutely. I will absolutely concede that.

So what you're suggesting is you just drink a conservative amount of alcohol and then also hydrate and also be on a full stomach and then you won't feel something. I can see where you're headed with that. I know you can. Because you know me very well. Yeah. I know where you're headed with that. I'm going to let you guys battle that one.

I'll have some drinks with you. I'm not drinking nine shots. No, I'm saying you can drink. Fuck this. I won't, at some point, my body will be like, see you. Yeah. Yes. Now you got one more.

You got. Let's do one every, you know, every month or so. Oh, wow. No, no, no. I'm joking. I'm joking. Yeah. Once every couple of months.

Your liver's got that in it. Don't you think? Next time I'm going to bring a breathalyzer so we can see. Absolutely. Because I bet I would have had the highest just because my body weight versus, because I drank the same amount, but I was, I should have brought a breathalyzer. We saw someone on Instagram posted that they were watching the drunk episode while giving birth.

Like they were in, Caitlin reposted it. They were in labor. This woman in labor and like on her phone, like, well, we're going to have a St. Patrick's Day baby and like the podcast was on the TV in the hospital. It's crazy. It was wild. Yeah. Oh my God.

You're changing lives. Do you have a face? Do you have a face about that? Yeah. That was a good one, Rob. All right. Guys, we're changing lives. Oh, we are.

Well, guys, this has been fun. Thank you for letting me kick in a door in your office. I really appreciate that. I really do. I sincerely appreciate that. That was, that was fun. Yeah. That was cool.

That was a nice union job. So that's going to be quite pricey to you, but we'll figure it out. All right. You know what? I'm not going to pay for it.
