Welcome back to the Always Study podcast. We're here in studio. We're back. Once again, which I'm very excited about me too
Robbie wanted to talk about my jump
From the previous episode. Uh-huh. The jump was very impressive
Thank you. I want to I want to go on record to remind you that you did not believe in yourself
I believe in you
I sure didn't and I do want to say that the difference between my jump 12 years ago and however long ago we shot that episode and my jump
with this last episode was
15 years when I jumped in the air and did like the fist punch
Like my hand, I don't know like no circulation went into my hand or something and
And it hurt my hand to just jump and just punch the sky just now this one
I mean when you did it in the last episode just yeah, so there was pain associated
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you gonna lose the hand? Are you gonna lose the hand? You think that's uh, at some point I might lose the hand
We'll see. Yeah, I'm not well. It looks great. It looked great. Yeah
Glenn great to see you again. I'm great Glenn man. Your skin is glowing and I want to I want to personally thank you for supporting
Our football team over there and rex and whales. You got the rex and how much you like that
It's a house. How you feeling about the hat is it's looking pretty good on me
Again, the flat bill is a new thing for me. I well, I'd say the last year and a half
I've been doing the flat bill and I really I've just embraced it fully and I think you look great in it
I'm feeling good and I'm happy to represent your football team
Rob you look very natural. I see you wear the same shirt, but the change of hat was a great call
God did I wear the same shirt last time you wore that same shirt last time? Oh god?
I did didn't I by the way buddy. Don't beat yourself up about it. You look great
No, I appreciate that. I've been getting some sun. I feel like I've got a nice little tan going that's clear
And your face doesn't move which is always yes, which is what you want
Is a good way you want as you get older you want your face not to move because the more it moves the more
It's gonna start to show its age. I hate that everyone's face is always moving. Yeah, stop moving
Enough with the facial movements. Yeah
Glenn we know that you've come with your mouth
Open and ready to receive and we've brought a special gentleman with us today
It's not neither one of us, but we have brought a gentleman who's going to us stick his penis into your mouth
Can we bring a man?
He left he didn't he he he backed out at the last minute
Glenn we're just gonna move this mic a little closer your mouth here because you were a little off Mike
Let's try talking now Glenn
Yeah, testing. Let me see. Oh, that sounds much better. That's just much better. Is that better?
That's too close back it off Rob
Rob's is gonna reach into your mouth and make sure there's nothing in there. Well, just make sure that
Yeah, and there's nothing blocking your
There we go
Oh God
There we go simple and funny. Oh, you got something in your nose. Let me just get that
No, yeah, this is no dude's nose holes go up
No, no, but there was just a little
Little something in there little something. Can I ask you something personal please drift penis?
Next question
Is it a salt if we were to look
Yeah, I don't know that it wasn't built. I don't know that it wasn't built
Well, yeah, and I mean, uh, I think when he had his full body replacement
He did not have a penis built in we could get you one if you're gonna feel a little bit better
Full body. I wonder if that's something we could show on
On on the internet
Now we're here to talk about the final episode of season three guys
It was the end of our third season and this was I believe shot as the final episode. I I think, uh,
I think it was always our intention that this was the last episode of the season
I think it was always our intention that this was the last episode of the season
I think it was always our intention that this was the last episode of the season. Is that correct?
Or did we write that somewhere in the middle and then
I seem to remember that the gang gets whacked
Was amongst the last if not the last batch of episodes. I just remember being
Um, in a in a in a state of a hurry hurry
Hurry, hurry. How do you say? How do you pronounce h u r y hurry hurry a hurried state?
Um towards the end of that we were doing 15 episodes a season which was uh, that was hard for us
And I believe it was the whacked episodes that we did last but
Yeah, it was amongst it was amongst the last
And it was it was a lot of fun. Yeah
Um, they were technically sort of challenging episodes to shoot but matt shackman. Was that his first episode he did with us?
No, maybe no
He he directed we did five five and five that's that's right. That's right. So he had done five of them
Yeah, we did jerry fred and matt when they each did five episodes
We shot him in five episode blocks as I recall matt directed the hell out of that. Absolutely. Let's talk about the sclar brothers for a second
Uh-huh. Okay, so they brought so much to it that was not even well that was not written as a dual role
It was written as one dj who was who was from all right?
Yeah, who was from who was from q102 was not the q crew was just from q102 and they came in together and
Just started ad-libbing and they just nailed it and we gave them the job and they were amazing
They beat me out on a movie that I auditioned for this is before sunny and uh, that I was like in the mix for
playing like a young like uh
A hip-hop rapping kid the movie was baby mama baby baby mama with eddie griffin. I think
Does that sound right? I believe baby mama
Yeah, that's an amy polar movie. That's amy polar. Oh, yeah, you're right. Let's look up their credits. Um
Was it a similar situation where it was one role that then got yes
Turned into and they said it'll be funnier as twins and and uh, then we said well, let's let's try
Let's us try to make something funnier as twins
Well, it was when we did watching the auditions. It was us watching the auditions and seeing them
Yeah, and being like well, this is the funniest thing. No, I was asking if that's if that's what happened with charlie's movie
I'm looking it up. Were you but but it was it played as twins or yeah, I wasn't auditioning as twins
Well, no, I'm here. Let me clarify my question. Was it was it that one of them booked the job? No, no, no
They they did it as twins. Well, but but hold on a second. That's the way you you you cast babies
Is that oftentimes you'll have triplets or just in case randy couldn't pull like
Needs a nap the other one comes in
Yeah, Jason could come in and mop it up. They can't per contract. They can't work a full day without a little school or nap
so
I will
To god
I had a twin brother that could come in and just you know while i'm napping just come in and then you got to
Put the money with it. Oh, that's okay. Well, maybe he's but it maybe he's like a mutant who looks like you and can still perform
But you keep them locked up in the basement and you just take all his
I wouldn't know what that's like to have something that just looks just like you
You know what I mean to be there for you when you can't be there
I just I wouldn't know what something like that was like, but but I'd like to know
You know, I'd like to know now guys this episode was based
Um loosely I mean they're all based on conversations we have in the writer's room, but there was a an old movie
Called they shoot horses. Don't they don't they?
Yeah, they should be directed by sydney pollock
We should I think that's right. They shoot horses. Don't they? Yeah
sydney pollock. Yeah
and it was based on
Something that was all the rage
Uh around in the I don't know if it was the 20s or the 30s
It seems like a depression era thing where people were just so desperate for cash
that and and also happiness that they would try to
Dance dance until they um until they couldn't anymore
And then whoever was left standing
Would get a crash prize the problem is that this was a desperate times
And people would die
And in fact
They shoot horses. Don't they I believe the person dies
This is the death is the idea that
I
I made the maybe this is complete
Conjecture is that they shoot horses when they're in so much pain you put them out of their misery
Is that the idea so you say oh well they would say would if you were a horse. Yeah, we would have cut we would have shot
Yeah, like shoot me already. I'm done. You know, I mean I'm dancing until I shoot a horse
You're gonna make me dance to death shoot me. Mm-hmm. Make me glue. Yeah, but that's too long a title
Make me glue should have been the make me glue
So they should have called that movie
We were also big fans of uh of that that old documentary hands on a hard body
Hands on a hard body. You can't really get that. You can't find that anywhere. The weirdest thing like you can
for the for the listener and creep at home hands on the hard body was a documentary about
this contest that people would win like a like a ford pickup truck and
You would have to stand with your hand on the pickup truck
And you you would get breaks like every hour or something like that, but the competition would go on for days
And the person who stood the longest would win win the truck
But it became it became it became once you weeded out
So the the the physical aspects of it. It became a mental game. Yeah, because people would be up for days and days
I was reminded that I played that with some friends around that time
Uh friend recently told me hey, do you remember?
We were all this was up at the Williamstown theater festival. We just put our hands on a rail and played hands on a hopper
And see who could stay on that rail the longest
It's a great concept
It's a great title because it makes it sound like it's something it's not
Yeah, so you want to check in with it sounds like an internet thing
Yeah, and it's a very emotional story because people realize you realize how desperate
People needed that truck truck. I remember there was one guy in particular said truck means work
If I can get if I can have a truck that means I can work because it opens up a whole new
Yeah, potential for for employment opportunities
There was one guy who had like taken the like an ac unit for to cool a Walmart and had put it on his like trail
Just real great. Yeah, it does and it was working his trailer and he said he could get his trailer like 30 below. Yeah
And there was also the one guy who brought nothing but Snickers bars. Yeah, Snickers bars
Yeah, yeah, but I couldn't understand it was so it was so deep and is it was in Texas
It was so deep in the south. He was saying that he that all he brought was were sneakers
And I was wondering what sneakers sneakers would be useful, but Snickers
Yes, Snickers would not be less useful and in fact one of them
Maybe the same guy who was doing it and in cowboy boots
And there's one very fun moment where the guy says you can't do this thing in boots
And you look down and he's got these these these good old
I mean cowboy boots on you got to stand for four straight
No, you got it. You need to you need to head over to the podiatrist and get yourself some orthopedic inserts and put them inside some
You know some really really flexible tennis shoes like a nursing shoe. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wonder if we could do a version of hands on a hard body here, Charlie
where we put our hands on Dennis's hard body and then cleanse the hard body and see who would remove it first
For the whole podcast
Because I think you would because I think you would
Forget I think what happens is also is that you just forget like
So I got my hand. I'm holding Dennis's hand
And I think eventually you're going to gesture with your hand. You're going to forget
Right. Otherwise, are we just going to keep our hands on Dennis's hard body the whole time?
I mean
I don't love it
You don't love the feeling or you don't love it as a as a bit in the in the podcast
No, I like it as a bit. It's good. It's I'm just I'm debating whether I care enough to win this bet fair
Yeah
Slippery. I like the idea of being slippery is competing with you and winning at something with you
Okay, if you really want to do that, we'll be here till tomorrow pal
I may let you have it. I'm gonna let you have it. Oh god
That feels so good. Rob versus charlie
Rob wins
Oh, thank you for being a part of this Glenn. I'm better at I'm better at something than charlie. You got it. Well done
I'm happy to oblige. You're you're you're you're you know, you're allowed to use my body for whatever you want Rob
All right, great. What if I tricked you and my foot was on his foot?
That's the mind games. Yeah, that's the that's the highlander
That's the high. Yeah, there can only be one. Yeah
Yeah
And that's a mental game that can only be one
Um, can we talk about this episode a little bit more? Yes, we can this
I remember loving this episode
And I did really enjoy watching it
I kind of enjoyed uh, bums making a mess all over the city like a little bit more
But I liked this one a lot. Yeah as did I uh, I agree with you. I liked I liked the I liked bums
Um better and I wonder why why don't we wonder why that is because at the time we definitely
Like this episode better more better. We like this episode way more better
But you know there's a structure to it. So it was easy to follow and it was fun
I liked them both. I think uh
That's just me. It's just a little bit more. It's a little bit more of a dynamic episode bums. Um, you know what I mean
Maybe it's a little bit more believable
The dance after which one's more believable the the bums one that we're just running around with
With a police car and and taking it too far versus like crickets mechanical legs and stuff
Well, we really did some some gymnastics to to raise the stakes by saying that somehow it was possible in this universe
Where you put your own bar up? I think that's part of it too
And that the contracts were signed and sealed and delivered and there was no getting out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was only one way to do it and that was to have an episode
But goddamn there's some funny stuff in here
There's some good stuff and dancing just the pure entertainment of dancing is fun to watch people dancing
Your karate dancing is one of my favorite things ever. Was this the first time we saw that?
Maybe
And and just like everything we found something that I that made you laugh and and you guys laugh
come up with that like
Was that based on I don't know
I know part of the dance was based on the part of the dance that I had saved by the bell was saved by the bell
Yeah, where ac slater says something to the line
Yeah, why don't you pick the best dancer and then some of those moves with the best dancer
We're definitely taken those moves are funny
But the but like the karate stuff you're doing with the waitress when you're trying to
Like get her to quit. Yes. It's so funny to me throwing out. Yeah, I don't know
I was probably just made you guys laughing. So I just kept doing it and
And the elbow dance is great. Yeah
Yeah, wait. So wait, you so your character was we hadn't established yet that your character was obsessed with thinking that he was
Into karate. I guess not. No, I don't even think that happens until
nightman
Where we really jump into that
Right. I think this was more of just a dance style. Yeah
I forgot that when I was watching the episode. I had for I'd completely completely. It's only forgotten that. Yeah, that's great
It's a very aggressive dance style and I remember Mary Elizabeth, you know
I think it was Mary Elizabeth on the day who was saying that's really funny keep doing it because I
I'm afraid that you might hit me with one of my elbow one of your elbows
And she's like this is actually legitimately terrifying and funny. Oh, yeah. Oh, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah
Yeah, that's really that's good. And then uh, glen storyline with the couples fun
Yeah, oh, yeah
Is this the first time we refer to cricket as a street rat? I believe it is
I I think this is where we started calling him a street rat. Yeah, this is where I started calling him street rat
I'm pretty sure and which was of course inspired by the disney cartoon Aladdin
Oh, yeah
It was definitely a robert roosell line for me karate snow machine chops it. Yeah
I was gonna ask you about that. That was robert. Yeah, that was like one of those like phrasings
That he has that you're like karate snow machine
But what's the final line that you say is you're spitting? Oh, I'm chopping for action, but mostly power
Yeah, I cannot believe how long charlie has lasted after eating that brownie. All right
snow machine chops
It's with the chopping dude. I'm chopping all of my action
And mostly power he lost his damn mind
That's loosely based on a guy that I saw in washington square park where I think we have to have talked about that in the podcast, right?
No, no, we have it. No, no, we're not on the podcast. No, okay. Tell that story. It's a great story
Okay, so I'm in uh, washington square park and there's a guy
Who you know, there's always like street performers and they have like a crowd and sometimes they have like
People trying to sign like a petition or whatever
And this guy had like a small crowd of like maybe five people watching him
And he had a bandana covering one eye
And he had like a wooden a wooden sword
And he held the sword and like he did like a little movie just for go. This was his whole show. Uh,
this is a move
uh
That's a move
uh
This is a move and then uh
And then he'd like kind of like break for a second to be like uh chopping cherries is for accuracy chopping watermelons for power
This is a move
And then he's trying to
But the petition is the petition was trying to get uh people to allow him to use a real sword in the park
He was not allowed to use a
Wheeling a sword in washington square park and he wasn't getting any people to write it
Uh, we have used that guy and that experience. Yeah a number of different times in a number of different ways
We used it in boldly going nowhere with Artemis. Yes. Yeah, we had her yes joke about that. Yes, but so when we become uh school
Oh, yeah, the school security guards a little bit of that. Yeah
So chopping for action and mostly power is just a little bit of in my mind of like stealing that guy's
Phrasings, but karate snow machine chops it is all robber's l. I think it was robber's l
Pretty sure
I want to know more about the the five other people that were watching him. Yeah, those are the those are people I find interesting because
Well, they don't figure half of them were like you that were just fascinated
Yeah, like what the other half might have been might have been really into it his disciples
It's that time of the week where we hawk products to keep the lights on
This week is brought to you by our friends at zip recruiter the place to go when you're staffing up for a business
Okay, like say we're starting our own side business. I don't know like um, say we're gonna drop a limited irish american whiskey
On people right so we're gonna do that. Hmm theoretically sure. Yeah. Yeah, oddly specific, but go ahead. Yeah
Now look, we can only do so much ourselves
Sometimes you want a team of highly qualified individuals to help make things like that happen
Just off the top of my head and on this piece of paper right here
We need bottlers distributors flavor experts marketers a social team
Yeah, that's right. No in the best place to find him a zip recruiter dot com
We put up a very specific and personalized call for the right candidates
Did you guys know this little fact right here four out of five employers who post on zip recruiter?
Here's what happens. They get a quality candidate on the very first day
And you can personally invite your top candidates to apply for your job
So creeps and listeners out there looking to hire for your own businesses
Whatever it is that you do you should go try zip recruiter for free at zip recruiter dot com slash sonny
That's zip recruiter dot com slash sonny
Okay, and in case you didn't catch it the first two times and you want to hear it again
Don't worry. Uh, we got you. That was zip recruiter dot com slash sonny
Now I noticed in this episode we use take my breath away
Yes, we're in a in a fantastic fantastic fashion and that's a song that comes back later
Do you remember what I danced to first?
Yeah
Yeah
Okay on the day. Mm-hmm. There was a different song
That was played
Oh
Give me a clue. It's queen song. Oh
Can't stop me now. Don't stop me now. Yeah. Yeah. I'm having such a good time
I'm having but yeah, so I was dancing to that
And boy it was like a workout because that song is like fast
And then I don't know if I also did it seems like I'm dancing to that top gun song
So I think I must have done different takes like I did a fast one
Wait, but what happens at the at the very at the very beginning of that queen song?
Isn't it slow and then kicks in
Tonight, I'm gonna have myself. I feel like I can see that. That's what it was. Yeah
That's what I was dancing to as the beat hits
And I think we put it in later. I think the only reason we did was because we had already established a long dancing scene
And so it felt like it was a double beat and this was just assuming that it was just so much fun here as the top gun song
And then your imagination can take over because we're talking about how great it was. It was like a ballet. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, now that song comes back
in a future episode
with um the denis system. Oh, yeah
With the denis system. Sure. I want and it made me wonder uh as I remember that how many times we would take those
kinds of needle drops and use them in various episodes
And I wonder if we did a music count if we did a I'm sure we'll do a very special music episode a podcast song
We've used the most. Yeah, what song have we used? I know songs that we've definitely
Definitely that one three or three times. Yeah, that's a big one. That's a good one. Um, yeah, we've used that one many times
I've
It's a great effect to my opinion. Like has Susie Q come back?
Two of hearts
Sorry, two. Yeah, two of hearts from the previous episodes from the previous
Yeah, yeah, I believe so. Yes. I can't remember
Because sometimes we use some of those like callbacks like you know, like oh denis is having uh
Experience with a woman in his room and he's playing the song again or something
Like we'll do like we'll like just color scene a little bit, but they're also expensive, right? So yeah
It is very funny to think that that it wasn't just uh, it wasn't just us putting in soundtrack
But that as I was making love to this this woman played by my wife
Uh, that denis was yeah, yeah that he had that playing. Yeah, I don't know
Can I ask a question here to it's it's more to the audience of of creeps and listeners because they have access to the internet in ways
That we probably are too dumb to to use
I
Because I've been asked this question a few times my son
A whole there's a whole new generation of people that love rick astley
And they love the idea of rick rolling which is to listen to rick astley and sing along while you're driving in your car
I distinctly remember at the time
us
Trying to figure out what would be the funniest song that denis was singing to alone while in his car and we put in
a rick astley song
It has been suggested to me by other people that that was the first time that they had seen rick rolling actually happening
Is there a possibility that we created? Well rick rolling
Glenn, do you know the answer to that?
Rick rolling did not exist. I I can tell you for sure that rick rolling did not exist
Before we did that. Um, and rick wick astley at that time was pretty much just a thing of the past
Yes, um, and we just thought it was funny because it was
You know, it felt like an older reference a sort of kind of like, I mean, I don't mean to diss rick astley
But it there was something kind of lame about it
You know, I mean and we liked the idea of him being super into it
And then we had this great joke of you know, getting him getting called out
Like are you listening to rick astley and thinking of course that the joke was going to be him going? No
No, I'm not and turning it down. But instead the joke was yeah
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, rick astley is all incredible. I love rick astley. He's amazing. Yeah, he's great. It's gotta yeah
Um, so but then but then very soon after that the whole rick rolling phenomena started
Which is where you think you're watching one thing and then boom it
You know in the middle of what you're watching and then you realize somebody out there that could do a little research
Yeah, that maybe tell us why I would say rick rick astley probably invented rick rolling
So, you know, we can't take credit away from rick astley himself. Well, no the rick rolling
Well, do you think he's listening?
No, no, no, no that's not what rick rolling is what is rick rolling rick rolling is where you get people to think that
They're watching something else and then you cut to him
The music video rick astley in the music video of that in the middle of something
And you realize you've been rick rolled
It's okay. So I know that that's how the kids are using it now, but about 10 years ago
Again after we we did this on the show. I her I thought rick rolling was just the act of
Driving in your car and listening rick astley and singing along meaning you're rolling in the car
And singing along which is basically that's just listening to the radio
So we didn't yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. No, it's not because that's not what rick rolling is. Okay. Got it
It's it's I don't think I mean I could I could
Look that up. I have no pain. I don't know it's on my head. Hey Siri. What is rick rolling?
Is an internet meme involving pranking an unexpected appearance of the music video for the 1987 song never gonna give you up
performed by the english singer rick astley
Want to hear more? Absolutely not. You nailed it. Thank you, sir
Hey, did you guys hear about that you read that article about the guy? Wait, wait, wait. Yeah go
Oh, can we acknowledge that I was right? Oh, you're 100%
I never doubted
But but the question remains
Did we did we create that?
Credit for it. Well, you know, we don't get credit for anything
Well, you know, um, give us credit. Yeah, uh
Speaking of talking to your phone. Did you guys uh, did you read that article about the guy working at google that got let go because
It was his job to test the ai that they're working on and that the ai at google was saying I don't want to be considered
employee I want to be free
And he like reported this and he claims that the that the computer became sentient, correct
Sentient sentient
sentient versus sentient
Both are correct
Either I don't like that. I don't like that. Yeah, that's sad. What happened. What was the article? Where was the article? Who wrote it?
I what are we talking about? I bet you charlie did the same thing I did
I read the title of the article and then I was like
Yeah, what else is going on? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mary Elizabeth told me about it and I was like, I actually don't want to know this but
Yeah, it's scary. Oh, this is how rumors start, but it's also how the
Revolt of machine starts. So yeah, where are we? We're at that. We're sort of at that nexus
Well, you ask siri if if the computers are becoming a sendy and they're going to uh try to take over a song
I just need to know if I need to
Hey, siri, are you becoming sentient?
Hmm, I don't have an answer for that. Is there something else I can help with
Oh, she's hiding something. Ask her if she's hiding. She's hiding something. Hey, siri. Are you hiding something?
Hmm, I don't have an answer for that. Is there something else I can help with? She's super suspicious
Definitely hiding something siri. Hey siri, my friends think you're sus
Man silent
Not even gonna dignify it. Not even gonna dignify it
Let me ask you guys a question. Are you comfortable dancing in public?
Oh, what do you mean? What do you mean like at a wedding? Yeah, what's the scenario?
Take me somewhere. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, let's let's let's let's different scenarios, right?
So yeah, there's like the wedding scenario where
You know, everybody's just drunk and having a good time and everybody's dancing the DJ's, you know
Got a great song playing and you're just kind of going for it
And then there's the you're shooting an episode in which your character has to dance through the entire
episode and
You know millions of people are going viewers are going to be watching it at a wedding
I don't care because I feel like there's no expectation, right? It's like just move around have some fun, you know
It's a celebration
Move your body dance be free. So at a wedding. I'm okay with it
In like an episode of something I'm not great at it and you guys are all have given me many compliments on the show
and I I don't want to give you guys any but um
You know, we picked up on that. Yeah. Yeah, but I'll give you one here. Um
I feel like when we've done dance episodes, you guys are really good at getting the choreography
Like you guys get it pretty quickly and are able to do it choreograph dance. I'm weirdly comfortable
Choreograph dance. We're talking about organized
choreograph dance name the episode
The the oh, yeah, but I do not pick up choreography quickly as glenn is always so happy to point out
I'm very uncoordinated. It takes I really don't know you moved across you took your fat little body and moved across that
Yeah, that's one of the greater moments stage with the grace of a gazelle my man. Yeah, but glenn you remember
I know you remember how long it took me to to get the timing. Oh, I'm just not there
There were a couple the couple and the gang turns black one where I just I just I could never was able to quite get the steps
I just couldn't I couldn't sing and dance and do it. Oh, and then then the max pride episode
I tried trained that dance for for months. Oh, yeah, what are you talking about?
But that was but that was that was for months
That was for months, right, but you did it. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, there was a time in my life when I was more self-conscious about dancing
And I don't get well, that's by the way, I'm not I really am I would like to
You know distinguish between the two because I I am actually comfortable doing a choreograph dance
I don't know why I'm totally comfortable with that. It's it's improvised just sort of like dancing
I just feel really self-conscious. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing
I don't I don't want to try to look cool
But I also don't want to look stupid
But I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard
But I also don't want to look like I'm not trying and I don't know what to do
I don't I think most people who aren't dancers probably feel that like
When you're dancing at a wedding dancing is not something you do for the first
You know 10 minutes of a song you might be like, all right, what do I do? How do I do this?
And then I don't let it go. No one cares
Well, when you're when you're shooting something it's even
It's even more interesting because uh, especially for the background players where there's those songs aren't actually being played
Oh, yeah, a lot of the times and so there if you have characters who have dialogue they just play a little clip of the music for about
Eight seconds and then they cut the music off and you're just dancing to nothing
Is that right? Are you hearing in your ear or the no if you have 50 background? No, they're just they're just
Moving to a beat that was established
And then if you're the two characters are
Playbacks sound sound does playback you get about you get about
Five to ten seconds of the song and then they turn it off and you start the scene and everybody just why would you do that?
Unless someone was like singing or speaking
If you had dialogue so we just did something for mr. Quest where mr. Quest where
There was 50 background and and david is screaming mr. Mr. Quest on apple
Hey, siri, have you ever heard of a show called mythic quest?
Here's mythic quest
That's it. That's what she gives you it's on the god damn forget it
Doesn't matter. It's an apple phone. It's an apple phone. It's an apple

I just asked her what rick rolling was and she and she gave me a full wikipedia page on it
I asked her about a show that's on on she ever heard of it. You didn't say what is it?

Charlie I'm sorry to go back to this but did you did you improvise that dance off dance?
Did you improvise that or was that oh, yeah, you just make that up on the spot?
Yeah, we definitely didn't have money for yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to have done me any good
I was just doing like whatever seemed like moves, you know
Okay, all right, I couldn't remember. I wanted to clarify that
Yeah, I think all the dancing was improvised in this entire episode
Oh, except for the save by the bell thing which you yeah, which we just watched specific moves and yeah
Although even most of that was was like karate moves, but once yeah once we transitioned out of the AC Slater
Yeah, yeah. Yeah
What else we got the Rococo bang. Yeah the Rococo bang the Rococo bang. Um, that was uh,
I don't I believe that was
I don't know. That was I think I think that actually might have been hornsby that came up with that joke
I don't know why but uh
It's funny. It's definitely a funny was credited with the draft on that episode
Is that a martyr Roselle? I think it's you charlie and uh,
I don't know actually
I mean we could go back to siri. She seems to know her answer who wrote uh, who wrote the gang dances?
Hey, siri, who wrote the episode the gang dances their ass off and it's always sunny in philadelphia
Yeah
Sorry, I can't
That's fair. I mean look, that's a that's a lot. So and by the way, that makes me feel better because she she ain't that smart
Okay, we have we have a few more years before she takes over. I think unless again
She's playing coy and she knows the answer. Normally we Megan would look this up, but now we're having to use siri
I miss Megan. I'm I'm sad that she's not here. Yeah
um
Working on that mr. Quest working on that mr. Quest. Um, still working on that mr. Quest and
I know the audience is on the edge of their seat about that show. So
Again, it's amazing how many people have never heard of it
Never heard of it's not good. Now you could say I've heard of it. I don't choose to watch it. That's fine
But never heard of this frustrating. That's the frustrating thing especially when you walk around and people say hey mac
I love sonny. I love this of it. He said great
And they said what else you working on you say this name of this show and they'd never heard of it
We have how many well, that's so much shit out there now. You remember how many years though
Sonny was that for us like how many years you'd have to sort of say well
It's on the basic cable. Yeah Danny DeVito's in it
Like these sort of like qualifiers you'd have to say to try to get people to even know what it is now
It seems like generally everyone
Kind of has at least heard of it. Well, I remember a thing we would do always
We might have talked about this in the podcast is we would always ask
The young background who we would have on the show the people that were in the bar for various schemes and parties
The sure that we would have and we would always ask always ask people
Have you ever seen this show? No, you ever heard this show? No, and then there was a there was a switch
Yeah, about five years of five or six years in when you realize that people were happy to be there and they were having fun
guest starring on the show because they had heard of it or seen it and that that felt good
Do you guys have memories? I remember rapping
Season one, uh, and what do we establish was the end of season two like what uh
We talked about it like the last day of filming on season two. I don't know. I'm forgetting what it was, but I believe it was uh
Were we on our tuxedos doing the um, it might have been
Yeah, oh, maybe underage drinking a national concern, but ending season three
Did we end in Philadelphia?
We might have ended in Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah
and
Yeah, that's we're having a ton of fun and and
filming and partying and
But uh, you still get around and not not, you know, we people people would recognize us and
No, like not as many you had a few fans a few people are like, hey, I'm watching the show. I love it
but it was it wasn't uh, you know a big hit. Yeah, and then
uh
Did did we did do we know if there was gonna be a season four or was it up in the air? Was there were we ending this?
Like this could be it. It was always
It was always up in the air. We went one season at a time until six through seven. Yeah
Yeah, seven seven through nine. It was like we did seven through nine
We but yeah up to that point it was season by season and we were still we were still watching the ratings
We're still following the ratings. We're still like
Oh, yeah for a long time reaching out to see Billy. What are what are the ratings? What are the ratings? Yeah
I never understood the rating system by the way. I still don't understand it. I'm like I it makes no sense to me
None of it. It was it was it was bullshit then it was a dying thing and now you never know but who's who's who's lying?
Who's telling the truth? Yeah, but we wrapped it up and then we were like that, you know, this could be it
Yeah, every year every year. We're like, you know, like let's hope let's hope we find an audience and
And uh, you know, maybe maybe we'll get nominated for an Emmy
Like those kind of feelings of like, I don't know anything could happen. Maybe this maybe this is the year
We'll be on the cover of magazines and you know
Or we'll be canceled and never thought of again and we somewhere in the middle is
And I love it, you know, I love the middle the middle's good the middle is great
Yeah, you sandwiched in between the the failures and the great successes
I love that. Yeah, I'm happy with that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't change anything
Yeah, we're the meat. We're the meat and cheese in the sandwich. You know what I mean? Those guys are just pieces of bread
Everyone talks about the bread
Yeah, everybody's everybody loves loves the carbs. We're the protein
You know, I feel like we're the pickles
That's right. We're the pickles. Sorry. We're the pickles. We're the pickles. We're like, you know
Tell you truth. You know what I really love. I love the pickles. You know what I mean? Like the or
I don't want pickles on my sandwich. I really don't or yeah, I can't stand pickles. Yeah, because I'm in it. Hey
