#like he’s always with rob or glenn

[charmac]

Just watched Fool’s Paradise!

[realbeefman]

rob is like a parody of what somebody famous should be like. think the human embodiment of the hollywood sign and that’s rob mcelhenney. and glenn is like if a woman from alabama made multiple deals with multiple demonic figures for talent and being attractive and also being a man bc that’s really helpful in hollywood. and then charlie day is just some guy who is talented and funny but ultimately normal

[deeenjoyer]

not for nothing but glenn howerton plays dennis SO gay in later seasons. like early dennis was believably frat bro heteroflexible but the last few seasons are next level queen energy

[secretagentsagainstwhatever]

Rob McElhenney follows Ryan Reynolds around the same way Mac McDonald follows Dennis Reynolds around…

[sunnytastic]

there is something so incredibly intimate about the line "because I know you man"

[howertism]

awwwwwwh

Sunny podcast is back after hiatus!

So many things were teased in this episode and we heard about some scenes that were never aired or featured on the DVDs!

Featuring...

Charlie on piano

Sun-damaged Glenn back from Hawaii

Complaining about 80s comedies, Three Amigos and Paramount+

Discussions about what works in film comedies from the '70s to early '00s and how sketches function differently

Brief talk of Mac's mommy issues

Episode chat

Premise of the episode came from Glenn watching "Intervention", a popular reality tv show at the time and discussing it in the writers' room, leading to Rob Rosell wondering what the difference between an intervention and a roast was

Gail the Snail was created as a pair with a brother Not Quite Right Robin, who was never introduced, as the Garbage Pail cousins in contrast to Dennis and Dee, the Cabbage Patch kids

Mary Lynn R was cast without an audition because she was a friend and she developed the character of Gail with rcg's notes in an unaired deleted scene shot opposite Frank at Guigino's before the funeral of Uncle Max

Nora Dunn who played Aunt Donna might have been unhappy when she came on set and realized how cheap and low-quality the show was

Marder and Rosell came up with all the insane quotes and concepts like nightcrawlers while writing this episode

Glenn and Charlie couldn't keep it together while filming the scene where Dennis writes Charlie's intervention letter to Frank but these outtakes didn't make it into the bloopers so we don't get to see

RCG were probably responsible for the idea that Dennis and Dee blame Gail the Snail "for making them salt her" (which is not a good feeling she's making them have)

They've previously mentioned the story of the reporter on location in Philly when Frank is doing his beer volcano bit, but in this ep they added that Danny got into an argument with her on live tv

Frank's volcano eruption was a nightmare for wardrobe and continuity because his beer gurgling was unscripted

[Talking about their shitty cameras] "We've destroyed our careers by presenting ourselves as clowns on videotape."

Season 16 teases

Confirmed that The Gang Goes Bowling was directed by Meg and shot in three days + one scene

It was a difficult shoot because of the number of side characters and continuity troubles during bowling, especially block shooting

There's a slow motion sequence in the episode which might have to be degraded to fit in with the rest of the show

Some colour grading/correction will have to be done on the s16 footage, which they usually never do, because they look red

Glenn was away for the first week of editing since he was at SXSW, sick and then on break in Hawaii, but he's back in now with his fresh pair of eyes

Charlie wants to add grain to the picture to dirty it up for the modern tvs and automotion plus

Return of a character from season 1 who fans have been asking about. Implied that the character was potentially dropped and hasn't appeared since season 1. Charlie's sister is the most obvious choice.

Other options include Mac's other gay cousin, any of the kids and teenagers from Abortion or Underage Drinking and Nikki Potnick, though she was mentioned again in season 7

Upcoming projects

Scott Marder and Rob Rosell are coming on for the S5E10 pod!

Glenn Howerton double feature on May 12 with Blackberry and Charlie's film Fool's Paradise.

Charlie only had Glenn in the movie until he did reshoots when he added a lot of Sunny cast. He offered Rob a role but he was busy. David Hornsby is also in it (not seen in the trailer).

IASIP season 16 is coming out in June.

In the meantime, RCG say to watch Succession and Tommy Boy.

[trouticide]

there is something molecularly wrong with their brains

[dennisboobs]

How are we feeling about RCG on the podcast tomorrow talking about The Waitress is Getting Married

[absolutely-not-my-main-blog]

Throwing my hat in the ring for half-baked hopeful theories: what if they’re waiting till the 25th to drop a new Sunny pod like “Merry Christmas, autism be upon ye!” because Christmas is on a Monday, or New Years is, too, RCG be like New Year New(rodivergent) me <3

[angelic-charlie-kelly]

Charlie sitting there quietly like a child of divorced like “🧍‍♂️” through most of the pod was killinggggg me

[hoss-bonaventure]

rob purposely going out of his way to make charlie’s character on iasip as grubby as possible so no one would find him attractive is all the proof i need that charlie day’s beauty knows no bounds

[sunnytastic]

i think if mac started wearing cut off tees again and bought a vintage muscle car, dennis would instantly get on his knees and blow him. add a leather jacket and some aviators and dennis would marry him

[cactusfool]

i started listening to the iasip podcast,,, what have i become

[mitch0id]

I’ve abandoned my morals and have officially become a Glenn Howerton bitch ™️
