I think the solution for your son is to have him speak to professional rock climbers who wear helmets (like your friend who warned you) so he doesn’t feel weird about it.

[@clarkmichaels822]

Can also go to an indoor climbing wall with matts on the floor. I think those don't even require helmets.

Have the pro go with him once and when he sees how badass the pro is he may stop caring

[@microchrist6122]

Just needs to see someone get their head smashed in by a rock 🤷‍♂️

[@PaulJAzevedo]

Forcing helmet use for rock scrambling for a group of coordinated teenagers is a bit overkill. Few wear helmets scrambling on 5.0-5.5 rated climbing. This would be akin to saying one should wear a helmet when walking the steep streets of San Francisco. Helmets are for top rope and lead climbing and are required gear to accommodate for the dangers of falling rocks and possible head injuries from falls. Encouraging and teaching proper risk management will be more fruitful than forcing overprotective measures when they're not needed.

Be the nerd in the helmet Rob. If Axel gets down and can still be mad at you and feel embarrassed, that's a huge win in comparison. Someday he'll get it.

The best bit is when Glenn says “that’s it. But that’s pretty good” hahahaha

[@Piratefaellie]

I actually really like the analytical-y nature of part of this episode, talking about what frames you used and analyzing the jean shorts scene, why it was there, and the character motivation - really interesting look into the writing process!

[@jeremyjohnson4280]

Yes I think when they get into those kinds of discussions is what got me into this podcast in the first look. An inside look into the writing process and the inter workings of the creating the final product.

[@trashpandaqc]

I enjoyed that story they retold from the anonymous crew member on one of the real home makeover shows, about how they manipulated the families to get a better reaction -- knowing that would have made this episode even funnier but I imagine it would have been tricky to work in. maybe if Dee had a side gig as an extra or something...

[@PaulthePlantGuy]

Very real conversation about the fears of raising children… then Charlie’s advice of pushing the bullies to their death 😂 I love this podcast

[@timchamberlain5858]

The shot of the gang outside calmy talking amongst themselves to suddenly the high frame rate invasion will always absolutely S E N D me into tears of laughter. Excellent physical acting on everyone's part, but especially Rob when he bursts into the bedroom. Also just watching the gang escalate to a home invasion immediately without even really having to discus it is hilarious, being bad people comes so naturally to all of them. Probably a top 5 episode for me!

You guys need to do a “6 Days to Air” style episode where you take us behind the scenes on your writing process. Being the longest running show - I’m sure there’s much you could teach!

[@idc5309]

I’ve seen “6 days to air” so many times, I’d love that for a Sunny episode, or at least just a small documentary about their writers room and their creative process, we already get a lot from these podcasts, but it would be really cool to see behind the scenes fully, maybe even for Mythic Quest too

[@steinohfive]

The Gang Gets Extreme was the first episode I ever saw and has always remained my go to first episode for people. So chaotic, so little time to understand why anyone is acting the way they are, Flawless episode.

[@luna-p]

Yeah, I don't think even Mel is that crazy

[@cordlemons3273]

Don't know if the Sunny gang will see this, but getting some cool ass stickers for Rob's kid's rock climbing helmet would probably help make it look cooler, and might even cause him to be a trend setter for helmet wearing with the group. I'm a wildlife biologist and most of my friends and colleagues cover our stuff in stickers 😁

[@Raumes513]

That’s a great idea, unfortunately the helmet issue is a real thing, I’m 30& nobody wore one. It seems to take something horrible to happen for people to switch to helmets unfortunately.

[@BethanyD14]

Wanted to watch the episode before checking the podcast - watched it last night. Some of the best Sunny moments of all time in this episode. I love the Charlie and Dennis scenes, especially. When Dennis hugs Charlie after he rampages about Sears is one of the most tender and humanizing moments we get from this character. And the scene with the shorts might be one of my favorites. Especially when it gets a callback in the White Trash episode 😅

[@JigglesBunny]

Charlie was coming dangerously close to that Norm McDonald “you haven’t heard of the revolution?” energy with that BetterHelp ad read.

[@NeroBaelside13]

The taco bed discussion still has me dying. Also in a later episode when Mac and Charlie are trapped in a swimming pool, Charlie passes on his knowledge of cut shorts to Mac. I love continuations to bits like that and I very much hope they do that Bar Rescue episode.

I can't wait for them to get to "the gang hits the road" my favorite episode where it was a poisonous glaze on those wicker chairs 🤣🤣 and "barter with the gypsy people" "hey bozo... you burned me"

The "end of day" podcast is fine, I enjoyed this week's content.

[@pallyjaius]

With the 'death of the author' idea, I don't care what ol Mel intended that ending to mean. I still think the ending of Apocalypto is: 'You thought you were facing an existential threat to your existence? This shit is just getting started son'.

[@thetruthinwonderland]

I always interpreted it this way, too. The main character leaving with his family while the two characters who had previously been chasing him more or less stand in awe of the Spaniards has always reinforced the idea that the apocalypse was just getting started.

[@ratdoller77]

I have never once heard the idea that the spanish ships were supposed to be seen as a good thing. Also it kind of ignores the fact that something insane like 90% of the native population already died because of disease between the time columbus landed and the settlers came over so it literally was an apocalypse to them (Though i doubt mel even knew this let alone was intended), and then the spanish come and fuck them (in multiple ways) even more. To me mel wouldn't have used spanish ships if he wanted it to be "and than jesus saves the day" because in US history its taught that the spanish just killed or sieged everyone into submission where we (the US/english) were just buddies look we ate thanksgiving together.

at 33:43 Dennis say he made $1 over minimum wage at $5.25 am hour. This would make the year between 1991 and 1996. Over if under 20 and a new worker could be pay today. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires a minimum of not less than $4.25 per hour for employees under 20 years of age during their first 90 consecutive calendar days of employment with an employer. After 90 days of employment, or when the worker reaches age 20 (whichever comes first), the worker must receive the minimum wage.
