[@This_is_my_spout]

I found it extremely disturbing the way they brushed aside Rob's story about sexual harassment. What he describes, and what Kaitlin describes before she realizes what it is, is sexual harassment by the definition they read right before. It went well with her and Rob, but the fact that she brushes what she did aside and starts rationalizing rather than accepting and addressing what she did, that's not OK. That's what men have been doing for decades and it's finally being addressed to some extent. Her reaction is a step in the wrong direction.

Megan Ganz: I wanted to **thank you so much** for getting more involved in this podcast than just producing, because I'm ashamed to admit if I only see someone's name flashing by in the credits I often forget them between shows or miss that they worked in previous projects I loved. I have been a huge fan of yours for longer than I knew who you were! The only comedy writers(/producers/etc) I've followed "behind the scenes" were the many amazing writers from Cracked and College Humor who started doing skits in front of the camera and moved on to write for many of my favourite shows. After seeing you on this podcast I pulled up your IMDB: * writer on some of my favourite episodes of Community, exec story editor/Producer on some of the best seasons. * Writer on some amazing episodes of Modern Family, and I'm guessing your guiding touch as producer is what kept me tuned into that show despite being outside my usual "genre" * Writer/producer on The Last Man on Earth, one of my and my wife's favourite show! Notably I loved all of it, but it wasn't until around season 4 that you were the most involved in that my wife also really fell in love with the series too (When Phil Tandy Miller was notably less of a horn-dogging PoS and instead was a lovely eccentric power-couple with the radiant Carol Pilbasian) * I enjoyed the understated Important Things and think it only got better in season two * Likely obvious, but I love Always Sunny and you have written some (and produced even more) of the best episodes of the later seasons. That you've taken a show on its 12th year and found ways with the rest of these amazingly talented people to keep it fresh, relevant, hilarious, and just... **chef kiss!** Episodes like The Gang Tends Bar, Gang Escapes are solid episodes that may be a bit more reserved (comparatively) but show a great understanding of the characters and stood out even more on reviewing. Janitor Mops Twice is an awesome noir parody/homage that still felt "honest" to Always Sunny despite taking them into a whole new level of parody, Dee Day and Time's Up were straight-up slammers and highlights of their seasons, and Corpse up a Mountain I think best highlights the ability you've brought to *so many shows* to bridge the gulf between these extreme personalities and their actual humanity, while maintaining the humor and heart of the characters, while not dipping into full saccharine - a very delicate balance you've repeatedly pulled off! Also the way you've all talked about the process during this podcast makes it clear your influence has been a huge boon to the dynamic of "the boys" and I think reflects on the quality of your behind-the-scenes work as EP. All of this led me to give Mythic Quest another shot. I didn't expect to like it at first, but no fault of your own - so many shows about game dev are just awful, I prematurely judged MQ! I got pulled in and now I proselytize MQ to everyone I know as a "new Silicon Valley, but even better". I *did not* expect MQ to be the kind of show that has made me flat out bawl... three different times now, I think? All of this to say: Thank you for your amazing work, I'm excited to see everything you work on!

I'm sooooo excited for the new season of Always Sunny, Rob Charlie, Glenn Kaitlin, Danny, Meg and everyone involved just a huge Thank you for making and being involved in one of the best shows of all time

[@seizinrbow90]

I hope they do a podcast episode with Uncle Jack.

[@zachbush7923]

And the other lawyer dude...have him wear sunglasses because of his "eye injury" 😂

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

His hands tell a story...

[@dbaser687]

Lets just get nuts

[@milliondotz]

Hey, can I just say a big ass thank you to Meg? Because last week she mentioned how her trainer kept telling her "congratulations you failed" and how it's affected her initially vs later on when she gave a it bit more thought and....wowzers. that mindset has been genuinely helping me look at things within another understanding. And it made me realize that I HAVE been pushing myself in ways I never even realize. That even if I failed or something didn't go the way I has wished, the fact that I tried in the first place and actually put myself out there is what really matters. I've been in my head alot, so thank you Meg!

[@stephengilmore2741]

"which is a... horrific waste of my time" Amazing. She may be one of the most naturally funny of the group, and that's saying something.

[@arhaegar12e.73]

What a great episode. At 7:34 when Charlie says "Two days ago!?" I was totally expecting them to hit up the " *TWO* WARS?!" bit, especially 'cause of the way Charlie said it 😂🤣

[@danielikelman481]

Sweet Dee is my favorite! The Roller Rink episode is genius

[@Dub.45]

When she calls Dennis " You small haired C*NT. LOL

[@savageman2394]

Her transition into current sweet fee is pure gold😂😂😂 “Oh uhhuuhuhuh”

[@incubus3114]

I love this show so much. I will randomly just start laughing because I thought of a scene. Like Dee getting pissed because Dennis just got a little blood coming out his ears and she is covered. It is the greatest comedy of all time for me. Thanks for the hard work to keep it going.

[@libbyburnsed4913]

Do you remember what episode this was?

[@incubus3114]

@@libbyburnsed4913 s5 e11 Mac and Charlie write a movie.

[@deanbalboa]

The passion they have talking about writing this new season has me really excited!!!

[@theraVen27]

Just really need more than 8episodes

[@mizuko6132]

Been rewatching sunny lately and I think Dee might be my favorite. She’s just too damn good on the show.

[@Smi7h1sH3r3]

Gotta say, love that head bob/shake thing that Kaitlin does! Same thing in the game show episode! Also, Rob, I would say don't feel ashamed for venting! Sure, lots of people are going through some pretty heavy shit but sometimes we just need to vent! Having the realization alone I think keeps us grounded though I do agree. Keep up the great work ya'll!!!

[@5leep_deprived]

Kaitlin is such a joy to see on the podcast. I don't know what it is, but whenever she is on the energy seems to shift. I love it. I wish she was on more often. P.s. Thanks for the memes, I needed that haha.

[@kab9706]

I think it's because Rob and Kaitlin are a married couple, and Meg and Charlie are friends of the couple, so it feels warmer, like friends all catching up. Where as when it's just the guys there's a "serious" work-mode element.

[@CozyVoidProductions]

cat memes are always a solid go to, your son is a smart one Rob.

[@gabbymcdonald1599]

It’s inspiring to know that someone who is an expert in their craft like Rob still has some rough patches. Beyond excited for the new season!

[@Jack_______oh]

Get Jimmi Simpson on the podcast, for real! The live show was nice but I want an actual sit down with him and the guys.

[@Rob_Cary]

I hope when they do the kitten mittens episode that they have Bryan Unger on. I'm sure he'll be on at some point. He'll walk in and be like "oh great, you're all here" lol

[@cheddaguap]

I forget literally every second watching the show that Mac of all characters is the true genius behind it all

[@cuylshepherdton7437]

The show is amazing. Everyone in their life, no matter what they do for a living, will have ups and downs. The show is still one of the funniest and often poignant shows on television. I hope it goes on forever, but if it ends tomorrow, you can all rest easy in the knowledge that you've created possibly the greatest sitcom in television history. Mythic Quest is also really, really amazing and the episode Rob's sister wrote in the first season was one of the most realistic portrayals of a relationship over decades that I've ever seen. So bittersweet and beautiful.

[@J.Soffer]

I love this show! I love that they are all family irl and they created this from nothing. It's truly organic art.

[@roll3r]

Hey a nice chill sesh today 😊 Everyone please take the time to decompress when needed 👌

[@MissyASTB]

I want to hear more of kaitlin and robs romance! She needs to be on the podcast more tooo

[@j0eyravi0li2]

Just wat to stop and take a moment to show my appreciation for R.C.G. especially Rob because of what Kaitlin was explaining. It's Always Sunny has been one of my favorite shows of all time for years and always will be, and we all appreciate the hard work you guys put in

[@rorhan]

Love you guys and how honest this Convo was. I've only watched the bloopers from Sunny but now I want to watch the show.

[@gibletoid]

These folks seem talented, I hope their show becomes a success!

[@josephamoraz7990]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this podcast. I agree with Glenn on waiting to talk about the "road trip" episode. Also glad to see kaitlin, she looks great and that Betty white story is awesome! Anyone else think its cool how big of a fan Meg truly is of the show?

[@aerbaer6572]

22:58 I don't understand why anyone would try to debate the winner of this fight. Special Agent Jack Bauer was born in a pool of gasoline on a piece of rusty scrap metal, he also survived a car bombing.

[@noeliajaime7656]

"She pursuit me like a jungle cat" made me laugh out loud.😂

[@Azriel884]

Season 15 was the best, the trip to ireland really had me actually invested in the storyline of it all. It was really a masterpiece. Cant wait for next season.

[@lauramonroe9446]

When I'm drained, stressed, and/or depressed, I don't look at cat memes, I watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Thank you so much for all you do and for putting your all into this show.

[@loudchris5403]

Oddly enough this was one of my favorite episodes of the pod. Lots of fun from start to finish

[@arhaegar12e.73]

11:34 - "Well, that's not working hard. That's just, like, smelling your work every now and then.." Gotta love Charlie...😂😂

[@will420high4]

I love IASIP so much! Just listening to you guys feels so nostalgic!! I grew up watching this show and learning stuff about you guys in real life is really awesome!

[@ThePreMoveObserver]

Great episode! Definitely need more Kaitlin. I loved hearing about Rob & Kaitlin's home life

[@gi_100x]

33:45 reminds me so much of the sexual assault debate scene between rob and kaitlin in the times up episode lmao

[@llYossarian]

41:26 - I've always heard that about Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs and how that warehouse was like, 90+ degrees most of the time and, being unconscious for half of the movie but still in almost every scene he just had to lie there on that ramp for literal _days..._

[@jacoscofield5150]

Can’t say how much I love you guys ! Thanks for the laughs ! I need that so bad in my life now

[@amyy801]

Keep your head up! 💗

[@commaJim]

Stay strong, bud.

[@matttoczylowski3451]

I haven't been this excited for a Sunny season in a long time. With everything they've learned through doing the podcast, a handful of people returning on production/writing/directing... I have full faith they'll keep season 16 just as good as some of the best seasons.
