this is the episode where you guys really came into your stride. the conversation got so much bigger than the tv show, and really demonstrated the potential of the podcast. you touch on fame, social responsibility, toxic masculinity, fatherhood, and more with sincerity, irreverance, and humor. favorite ep so far. thanks guys.
Does this confrontation remind anyone else of the episode where Charlie and Dennis try to track down the man who shushes them at a bar? This whole podcast I was thinking about that line of dialogue where they're like, "I could be a mad man with a trunk full of hammers he doesn't know me, what is he crazy?" lol
Respect to Rob. I've been there. The hamburger store can be a dangerous place, like the local water source in the savannah where lions and giraffes and hyenas etc all go to get a drink under a tense truce.
Rob you're doing a good job with your kids. Growing up myself with shitty abusive parents it amazes me to hear just how much thought you put into how your actions and words can effect your children. Thank you for being a decent human being
Same man, about the shitty abusive parents. It’s so refreshing and very healing to hear other parents think so much about how their actions will effect their children. They are good men.
yea hes right. there is a fine line to walk between being assertive, standing up for yourself, setting a good example and enacting violence on others over these small interactions. a weirdly cogent and level headed episode of a podcast abt a show where horrible nonsense happens all the time. this is the only podcast i can actually sit and listen to cuz it feels authentic unlike a lot of others.
@@kg7219 and to think, that comes from the episode that's not even related to Always Sunny, but is just about the main showrunner nearly getting into 2 fights over burgers at 44 years old. This kind of nuance is why I love some parts of the internet and modern media
It’s funny how we can know the “right” thing to do in certain moments, but experiencing the moment in real time can make all the difference. I think Rob handled it as best as he could. Adrenaline changes things.
It does but as they pointed out, at least there was something that stopped him. Unfortunately, that thing was the other person backing down. The key is to start recognizing the possessive rage for what it is in the moment rather than after the fact. Because it IS infuriating when that happens and we all react poorly 99% of the time. But what would have happened had he let the dickhead in? What would have happened is he got his burger 2-3 minutes later than he did. The mentality of "he's trying to get in front of me, he's encroaching on my space and my right and I can't stand for that" is just what leads to more of that mentality. We need more of the mentality of "Oh you're just a terrible person, please go in front of me because its worth more to me to be non-violent and gracious than to sink to your level to get what I am entitled to, when I am entitled to it." They said "justice is a powerful ally" but it is the most dangerous ally as well. All the religions of the world believe they have justice on their side, hence all of history.
@@Mine4062 No. This is wrong. This is the mindset that allows Karens to exist. It's not about your one interaction with some asshat and you letting them slide that one time. It's about setting a precedent with all of humanity. We, as a society, agree on a set of rules that govern our day to day lives and waiting in line is one of those. If you allow someone to break one of these rules without consequence, then you're teaching them that it's okay and further to the point: teaching them that it's okay to be a "terrible person". What happens when you let that person cut in front of you because "I'll just get my burger 2-3 minutes later"? You're enabling that person. You're sending the message "Yes. You can do this. It's okay for you to break the rules, they don't apply to you." And they will continue on to cut in line every time they want, because you told them it was okay. And it's all good and fine to accept that you've lost 2-3 minutes to this person and their selfishness, but you're simultaneously making that same decision for 4 or 5 cars full of people behind you, and you don't have the right to do that. And beyond this single interaction, by enabling this selfish person once, you're also indirectly stealing 2-3 minutes from any future people he decides to cut in front of. But if everyone were to confront this person and make it abundantly clear that "you cannot cut in line", then they'll stop trying. It's MORE selfish of you to ignore and enable this bad seed because of an aversion to conflict than it is for them to cut in line.
@@michaelmarquis284 "Its about setting a precedent with all of humanity." I couldn't have stated the problem with this mentality better myself. It's not an aversion to conflict, its choosing to rise above it. You carry on policing all of humanity. Thanks for fighting the fight for us all, Mike Justice.
@@michaelmarquis284everything you say can be summed up simply as "it's the principle of the thing". At the end of the day 2-3 minutes isn't worth somebody's life. Without being there we can't say for sure that he handled things in the ideal way. The fact that the kids were present is important to weigh in to what decisions he makes. At the end of the day, people aren't always perfect but the fact that Rob was willing to reflect on the incident and try to learn something from it, and by extension teach his children something too. If you were the two young girls behind Rob, should you also stand up and fight? What if it gets you killed? Does it matter that you were right? Those girls will make their choices based on the lesson they learned from role models. Sometimes it's important to pick your battles, and sometimes there's a time and a place for making your point. It's important to know when to stand and fight, and when to walk away but there's no one size fits all answer to when it should be one or the other. However one chooses to handle the particular situation is really irrelevant in the big picture, what matters is that he personally reflected on the incident during it and afterwards and strives to do the right thing.
Wasn't sure what to expect out of this ep, but it was really fucking great. You can tell they live and breathe storytelling and have a self awareness in conversation that is missed on a lot of other podcasts. By far the funniest podcast I've listened to. Can't wait for the new season, especially when youre here in Ireland! Love you guys. Fuck you.
I read elsewhere that none of the main cast went to Ireland for their "Ireland" episodes. Filmed it all some place in California. Some crew went over to film the shots for the intro. Haven't fact checked that info though.
One thing that helps is that they are much older than most podcasters. You can tell they've always been smart and open minded but that sort of maturity and life experience is rare in this environment. I really like these guys and their perspectives.
@@Holygiant even factoring in their maturity, they are still very wise and thoughtful about their own thought processes. They've been working together so long that they understand each other's as well.
Maybe a Rashomon style episode, where Mac doesn't know it was Dennis in the Rolls Royce, with Charlie all psyched in the back seat while Mac rationalizes that it's all to protect Charlie(& not just about him). Then they complain to each other and Frank in the bar, and it's 2 completely different flashbacks from each perspective, before Dee shows them the viral video of what was really just a 15 second exchange that was embarrassing for everyone involved.
You just described the convenience store robbery episode. It's been done, and it was great. And the lottery ticket episode. And the cereal defense. And the world series defense. (though everyone was pretty much in agreement in that one) And Who got Dee Pregnant? (first of all, I was Man Spider, not Spiderman. BIG difference) Always Sunny is Rashomon, haha.
This would be Mac and Dennis in one car and Frank and Charlie in the Rolls Royce, and Frank can't see shit because he tinted the insides of the windows.
Rob must have looked like a complete psycho to that second car lmao. He's coming at them 100% escalated rage from out of nowhere. I like to imagine those two guys were huge fans of the show lol. There is a scene in the movie Super where the hero bashes someones head in with a wrench because they cut in line.
Something I have really loved about the podcast is how much of the characters come from the guys themselves. Dennis having real life rage and concerns about his health/diet/appearance, Mac being a real life cooler at a drive thru... pretty interesting.
These episodes have been great so far but this was absolute gold. The analysis of Rob's actions and the way his boys absorbed it was equal parts insightful and hilarious; exactly the kind of tongue-in-cheek humor that I love from IASIP.
Dude, Glenn you're so right. I hate people that think they deserve better, the rules don't apply to them. You explain it so well. And Rob, the fact that you are so open enough to ask if you did the right thing, it's such a huge thing to be so critically introspective. You guys are the best, Charlie too lol
1000% respect for Rob... Great job Dad! Sometimes you gotta put jerks in their place . Also at least send the message to your son's that bullies can't be ignored.
Kinda disagree. Explaining that you can avoid an unnecessary dangerous situation is a better lesson. (I know it sounds like I'm a pussy). Raising above it is difficult but a good lesson learnt
@@bannnnnerI kinda don't give a shit. 😅 Jokes aside, I don't disagree with you.. it is a good lesson and necessary.. but there are defining small moments in life that will shape the way a boy thinks of his Father and eventually will pattern his response to bullies.. it's a balance of course, but I completely respect your decision to raise your son as a whimpy puss ball.. I'm just kidding. "Kinda" 😉
Dude, the guy could of gotten out with a gun and just started blastin' away (eg Frank). Even if he just hit the car and sped off, that's enough to leave deep emotional scars on those kids (or even Rob: PTSD for starters). Even if he just got out with a gun and screamed, THAT in itself is enough to be emotionally damaging to the kids (I had a friend who had a gun pulled on him in an attempted car jacking when he was 19; he's still haunted by that, still has nightmares). Rob put his kids in very potential danger all because he has some "Don't call me Chicken" Marty McFly complex. Piss poor response, and not much more civilized than the jerk in the Rolls.
@@dHolbach77 ummm…hmm…I feel like you must live in the sticks because it is not that serious my guy 😳 as a female living in a major city I’ll tell you that little conflicts like this are guaranteed to happen based on population count alone. Rob not letting a car cut in front of him in line to the hamburger store was not irresponsible or out of line WHATSOEVER. Chill 😵💫
I'm with Chuck, I feel the rage bubbling just from hearing this type of story. This kind of basic bullying makes me furious and it happens so fucking much.
My brother who works at in-n-out said this shit happens a lot at his place. He’s told by his manager just ignore it and take their order but makes it a point not too or give them shitty service when he sees it. God bless him.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. I felt real rage hearing about the rolls royce guy, but inbetween i was howling with laughter my girlfriend came in check on why I was being so loud 😂
Rob is such a good on the spot storyteller. With a little bit more pazaz or somthing that story could be a fantastic stand-up routine. PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
6:15 i really love that moment because it shows how much of these guys end up on their show, they're just really prone to start arguing about random stuff like how long you have to wait in an in-and-out line
43:50 yes Charlie!! Intermittent positive reinforcement!! If sometimes aggression works to resolve things sometimes (rather than never) aggression will probably be used again. And these responses are harder to change bc it’s works sometimes, and you’ll keep doing it until it works and be like “I knew it worked” and then keep doing it!!
I love mac's story, because it's exactly the type of interaction that nobody ever teaches you how to deal with. Dan Harmon has a similar story about him and his girlfriend being accosted by a man in a bar, except that time Dan had no idea what to do, and ended up being humiliated.
More Rob content! Love this podcast so much and this has honestly been my favorite episode! Thanks for your laughter and light that you bring to us in these rough times. We need you guys!
Seriously so FUCKING thankful for you guys podcasting - never ever stop, please. I’ve watched Sunny from the very beginning, came out in Sweden when I was 14 yrs old and my brother was 12. It would only air late at midnight in Sweden in the beginning and we just stumbled upon it on my 14” TV in my room and we literally cried so hard, I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life. I vividly remember exactly which two episodes we saw that first night and we we’re just blown away by the fact that you guys were joking in a way that our whole family was - it just suited us so perfectly. We later introduced this to our parents after quoting it so often and making them laugh so hard, and they wondered where we’d get all our jokes from. You made out entire family a favour and I think it actually molded us in some small way, and our relationship in a way NOTHING else has. THANK. YOU. And also - don’t be so hard on yourselves. Whatever you guys talk about is interesting, and this might actually be one of the funniest/best episodes. Please keep podcasting and making Sunny FOR EVER. ❤️
I want you guys to know all of these podcasts are classics! The candid feel and exploration of all these different stories and thoughts are my favorite thing about this awful year.
Hearing Rob’s story made me feel similar to how Charlie felt when he heard it I was shaky, sweaty palms, and felt jitters because I’ve been in scary situations like that before but you guys together walked though the best case scenario how to handle those types of situations and how to manage them. Thank you 4 for this podcast and TV Show it really helps tackle tough problems with a touch of comedy because these are indeed sometimes hard subjects/topics and having a chance to laugh makes it seem less difficult to talk about.
imagine one of your friends telling this story "man i was at in-n-out lined up around the block, this one asshole tried to cut me off and i thought i was gonna fight him, but then he snuck in behind someone else and nothing happened. then some other idiots tried to cut in too, it was stupid" now listen to this story coming from these 3 lol it's like going to a completely different world that only they can see
For context, to enter the Westwood in-n-out you turn right onto a street and then right again into a driveway to a parking lot, which after a while turns into the official drive through lane. The first guy cutting in would have been turning left over a double yellow to try to enter this driveway, which is why Rob had to leave a small space for the sidewalk. You can kind of enter the line through an alley too but it’s definitely cutting.
This is what I wanted clarification on. It sounded like the drive thru queue was right next to the main road and you could just enter whenever you feel like it. Sounds like in n out needs to sort their shit out
What would have been a good move, is telling the In-N-Out staff to not give the guy behind any food because he cut in line, and by the time it happens your out of there and safe from any violence happening
I don't know how other In-N-Out car lines are in the rest of CA but where I live there's an employee already standing outside next to the line of cars with a tablet taking orders and you're still gonna be a good 10 to 15 minutes away from actually getting to the pick up window.
This is easily my favourite podcast episode. Just a genuine sit-down chat with some philosophical elements, AND it was funny and entertaining still of course lol
It'd be fun if they did one of these in character, and improvised the whole episode, just as a one-time thing. Imagine Charlie musing on magnets and ghouls, Mac constantly being confused and not following any of the conversations and the Golden God getting endlessly frustrated by both of them.
This would be a fantastic it's always sunny episode. Mac and Dennis would be in the Range Rover, Frank would be in the Rolls Royce, and maybe Dee would be in the second car. You could call it The Gang Dines In N' Out or something stupid like that.
I started the show being absolutely in love with Glenn’s face, and still am, but along the way I have grown to appreciate Rob’s appeal and Charlie’s. Charlie just grows on you and it surprises you. He’s just an awesome person, and has so many attractive qualities.
They have a security guard at our In-N-Out just for this reason. They also have cones in the street to prevent someone from cutting into the turn. This was so hilarious!
Here from Cleveland Ohio! Been a fan of you guys since the beginning back in the day, never missed an episode. Still love you guys and I think the latest season is absolutely awesome! I’ve already watched the season like 4 times. This was an awesome podcast! Thanks for doing these podcasts! I can tell you guys with absolute certainty that we, your fans, truly love and appreciate these podcasts just hearing you guys talk, riff and talk about ‘Sunny’ episodes.
I think Rob did exactly correct - you defend the spot in front of your car - you don't go defending other people's spots. And yes - you lock your kids in the car and get out and take ALL THE RISK onto your own physical self. Good job. Good man. If you had hesitated to jump out of your car for even one second, you would have brought 10x more danger upon yourself. You must always present as ready to fight to the death - it is the best way to avoid having to actually do so.
At the start of the pandemic, this happened to me in line at a Panda Express. I've never been so enraged. I've only recently been able to let it go. Whew it's a wild world.
This was a really, really good episode and we can all relate to at any age! It's a damn hard one. It's good to know so many people struggle with this - action and reaction!
Real missed opportunity to tell the cashier you wanna pay for the guy behind you's food, then at the pickup window go ahead and take that too. Since you have the receipt for it and all

I'm severely disappointed in Rob. This could have been easily avoided if he only remembered to perform an ocular pat down.
He's lucky the other guys did an ocular pat down on Rob, saw he was a potential threat, and backed down.
The other guy did the oat down on him and saw he was a threat

I fucking love that everyone has adopted the phrase "hamburger store"
The moral of the story is, if you cut in front of someone at the In-n-out, you just might get to meet Mac
And if you're not careful, you're a baseball bat away from meeting country Mac.

What’s most astonishing about this story, to me, is that the words “Ronald MacDonald” and “ocular pat-down” weren’t used.
22:00 that is EXACTLY how I feel, and these guys taught me that.
"I could have a trunk full of chainsaws and a fist full of hammers."
You never know.
Rob gave him an ocular pat down to assess the threat.
As a double bat master who studied the bat while others studied the blade, single bat all the way Rob.
By far this was my favourite episode of the podcast. Just absolutely captivating listening for 50 mins
"Justice is on your side" - "That's a powerful ally"
And that is why Rob is a great writer! Because he's a great story teller!
Charlie is so emotionaly intellegent I feel like he's in therapy
The fact that In The Heights is playing while Mac is having these encounters is hilarious!!!

@@bannnnnerI kinda don't give a shit. 😅 Jokes aside, I don't disagree with you.. it is a good lesson and necessary.. but there are defining small moments in life that will shape the way a boy thinks of his Father and eventually will pattern his response to bullies.. it's a balance of course, but I completely respect your decision to raise your son as a whimpy puss ball.. I'm just kidding. "Kinda" 😉
Dude, the guy could of gotten out with a gun and just started blastin' away (eg Frank). Even if he just hit the car and sped off, that's enough to leave deep emotional scars on those kids (or even Rob: PTSD for starters). Even if he just got out with a gun and screamed, THAT in itself is enough to be emotionally damaging to the kids (I had a friend who had a gun pulled on him in an attempted car jacking when he was 19; he's still haunted by that, still has nightmares).
Rob put his kids in very potential danger all because he has some "Don't call me Chicken" Marty McFly complex. Piss poor response, and not much more civilized than the jerk in the Rolls.
@@bannnnner The truly strong people can control their emotions. That's not weakness, it's strength, maturity and wisdom.
@@dHolbach77 ummm…hmm…I feel like you must live in the sticks because it is not that serious my guy 😳 as a female living in a major city I’ll tell you that little conflicts like this are guaranteed to happen based on population count alone. Rob not letting a car cut in front of him in line to the hamburger store was not irresponsible or out of line WHATSOEVER. Chill 😵💫
Good to see me and Glen have something else in common. Use a turn signal people! haha
I don't doubt for a second that Glenn could look so psychotic people back down from fighting him
I'm with Chuck, I feel the rage bubbling just from hearing this type of story. This kind of basic bullying makes me furious and it happens so fucking much.
My brother who works at in-n-out said this shit happens a lot at his place. He’s told by his manager just ignore it and take their order but makes it a point not too or give them shitty service when he sees it. God bless him.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. I felt real rage hearing about the rolls royce guy, but inbetween i was howling with laughter my girlfriend came in check on why I was being so loud 😂
sneaking in the fact you have a girlfriend
Howling. Cringe
Rob is such a good on the spot storyteller. With a little bit more pazaz or somthing that story could be a fantastic stand-up routine. PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. I could visualize the whole thing perfectly
6:15 i really love that moment because it shows how much of these guys end up on their show, they're just really prone to start arguing about random stuff like how long you have to wait in an in-and-out line
43:50 yes Charlie!! Intermittent positive reinforcement!! If sometimes aggression works to resolve things sometimes (rather than never) aggression will probably be used again. And these responses are harder to change bc it’s works sometimes, and you’ll keep doing it until it works and be like “I knew it worked” and then keep doing it!!
I love mac's story, because it's exactly the type of interaction that nobody ever teaches you how to deal with. Dan Harmon has a similar story about him and his girlfriend being accosted by a man in a bar, except that time Dan had no idea what to do, and ended up being humiliated.
Got a link to where he tells the story?
oml i was so ready for this to be an actual video… can’t believe y’all would trick me like this :’)
very excited to hear this week’s Nonsense™ tho
"I have rage inside me, and I don't know why"
Lmao okay... Dennis
The In-and-Out story was like a real "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" episode. lmao
“Trained in ‘double-bat’” is one of the greatest phrases from this podcast I’ve encountered so far! 🤣🤣
Fact
More Rob content! Love this podcast so much and this has honestly been my favorite episode! Thanks for your laughter and light that you bring to us in these rough times. We need you guys!
I really appreciated hearing this episode and their view points on things. I’m fully down for a split podcast. 70% episodes and 30% life
I imagined Mac getting it of his car and yell, "get lost bozos"
Seriously so FUCKING thankful for you guys podcasting - never ever stop, please. I’ve watched Sunny from the very beginning, came out in Sweden when I was 14 yrs old and my brother was 12. It would only air late at midnight in Sweden in the beginning and we just stumbled upon it on my 14” TV in my room and we literally cried so hard, I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life. I vividly remember exactly which two episodes we saw that first night and we we’re just blown away by the fact that you guys were joking in a way that our whole family was - it just suited us so perfectly. We later introduced this to our parents after quoting it so often and making them laugh so hard, and they wondered where we’d get all our jokes from. You made out entire family a favour and I think it actually molded us in some small way, and our relationship in a way NOTHING else has. THANK. YOU.
And also - don’t be so hard on yourselves. Whatever you guys talk about is interesting, and this might actually be one of the funniest/best episodes.
Please keep podcasting and making Sunny FOR EVER. ❤️
I want you guys to know all of these podcasts are classics! The candid feel and exploration of all these different stories and thoughts are my favorite thing about this awful year.
It's like a 48 minute Curb scenario. LOVE IT.
Hearing Rob’s story made me feel similar to how Charlie felt when he heard it I was shaky, sweaty palms, and felt jitters because I’ve been in scary situations like that before but you guys together walked though the best case scenario how to handle those types of situations and how to manage them. Thank you 4 for this podcast and TV Show it really helps tackle tough problems with a touch of comedy because these are indeed sometimes hard subjects/topics and having a chance to laugh makes it seem less difficult to talk about.
Charlie: we cant get sued
Charlie: Paul..beeeeeeeeep
Thank you Megan
imagine one of your friends telling this story
"man i was at in-n-out lined up around the block, this one asshole tried to cut me off and i thought i was gonna fight him, but then he snuck in behind someone else and nothing happened. then some other idiots tried to cut in too, it was stupid"
now listen to this story coming from these 3 lol
it's like going to a completely different world that only they can see
I agree with Glenn. No blinker, you're not getting in.
For context, to enter the Westwood in-n-out you turn right onto a street and then right again into a driveway to a parking lot, which after a while turns into the official drive through lane. The first guy cutting in would have been turning left over a double yellow to try to enter this driveway, which is why Rob had to leave a small space for the sidewalk. You can kind of enter the line through an alley too but it’s definitely cutting.
This is what I wanted clarification on. It sounded like the drive thru queue was right next to the main road and you could just enter whenever you feel like it. Sounds like in n out needs to sort their shit out
these podcasts have been making me smile every time I park my car
"I mean, for all this guy knows, I'm a psychopath with a trunk full of chainsaws, right?"
"And I could be a man with a fist full of hammers...Right."
"is that Mac?" 😂😂😂
Keep these kinda episodes coming. These are perfect for when you’re done reviewing the seasons and want to keep the podcast alive
Damn I hate confrontation like that, props to Rob for not backing down. People do crazy shit when they're hungry
I can hear Meg laughing in the background at 26:13, after Charlie said, "He didn't do shit." Adorable.
The boys grabbing the bats would’ve been such a funny sight to behold lmao love you guys
I love that Charlie never wants to plug people’s stuff for free. He does that on the commentary tracks too.
What would have been a good move, is telling the In-N-Out staff to not give the guy behind any food because he cut in line, and by the time it happens your out of there and safe from any violence happening
I don't know how other In-N-Out car lines are in the rest of CA but where I live there's an employee already standing outside next to the line of cars with a tablet taking orders and you're still gonna be a good 10 to 15 minutes away from actually getting to the pick up window.
This is easily my favourite podcast episode. Just a genuine sit-down chat with some philosophical elements, AND it was funny and entertaining still of course lol
It'd be fun if they did one of these in character, and improvised the whole episode, just as a one-time thing. Imagine Charlie musing on magnets and ghouls, Mac constantly being confused and not following any of the conversations and the Golden God getting endlessly frustrated by both of them.
magnets ghouls and cheese
@@Hnbth Don't forget the milksteak.
Raw jelly beans on the side
This would be a fantastic it's always sunny episode. Mac and Dennis would be in the Range Rover, Frank would be in the Rolls Royce, and maybe Dee would be in the second car. You could call it The Gang Dines In N' Out or something stupid like that.
With all the talk about parking and driving on this podcast, I'm surprised there hasn't been a "The Gang Goes to Driving School" episode.
Incredible episode. This one deserves an award!
Imagine trying to cut line and Mac comes at you.
Imagining Mac at the in n out burger doing his karate moves on college kids is hilarious 🤣
This was one of best episodes yet. You guys just shooting the real-life shit. #alwayssunny cheers, Jeffrey 44yrs 🇨🇦🙏
“I would get real close to the car in front of me so they couldn’t get in. You wanna hit my car? Do it”
That is so me 😭
As a father, one of the best episodes of podcasting I have ever👏🏽 heard 👏🏽
"The Sheriff of In-&-Out Burger."😎 BaaaadAss.👍
I started the show being absolutely in love with Glenn’s face, and still am, but along the way I have grown to appreciate Rob’s appeal and Charlie’s. Charlie just grows on you and it surprises you. He’s just an awesome person, and has so many attractive qualities.
That rage that Charlie was feeling during the story was the most pure feeling of being a good person and knowing something bad happened.
They have a security guard at our In-N-Out just for this reason. They also have cones in the street to prevent someone from cutting into the turn. This was so hilarious!
Here from Cleveland Ohio! Been a fan of you guys since the beginning back in the day, never missed an episode. Still love you guys and I think the latest season is absolutely awesome! I’ve already watched the season like 4 times. This was an awesome podcast! Thanks for doing these podcasts! I can tell you guys with absolute certainty that we, your fans, truly love and appreciate these podcasts just hearing you guys talk, riff and talk about ‘Sunny’ episodes.
Honestly, this is the most Philly I’ve ever heard Rob be. This easily could have happened here and not in LA 🤣
I was riveted by this story! A very real life situation and a good discussion between friends. So well done!
I think Rob did exactly correct - you defend the spot in front of your car - you don't go defending other people's spots. And yes - you lock your kids in the car and get out and take ALL THE RISK onto your own physical self. Good job. Good man. If you had hesitated to jump out of your car for even one second, you would have brought 10x more danger upon yourself. You must always present as ready to fight to the death - it is the best way to avoid having to actually do so.
This podcast is so much better than you dudes give yourselves credit for. Keep 'em coming!
At the start of the pandemic, this happened to me in line at a Panda Express. I've never been so enraged. I've only recently been able to let it go. Whew it's a wild world.
there is nothing better than road rage set to the sound track of "In the Heights"
Honestly best one I've heard. Beautiful minds these guys have.
This was a really, really good episode and we can all relate to at any age! It's a damn hard one. It's good to know so many people struggle with this - action and reaction!
I love hearing the guys behind this amazing show, at times, live the same life I live.
Great podcast. These guys should do more than just episode reviews. But still do the episode reviews.
Mac gave the cars an ocular pat down and sent them to the back of the line
Robs "and... I... took that personally" moment.
Real missed opportunity to tell the cashier you wanna pay for the guy behind you's food, then at the pickup window go ahead and take that too. Since you have the receipt for it and all
This was everything I always search for in podcasts. Idk why I’m surprised that I found it in the cast of my favorite show
That guy in the drive-thru that Rob got out of the car for gave him an ocular pat down and realized he needed to back the fuck down
Charlie: You had *justice* on your side
I can totally see an episode of Always Sunny where Dennis is the "I can cut in anywhere, and if it works, good, if not cut in somewhere else in life"
