Rob McElhenney on Birthday Prank War with Ryan Reynolds, Wrexham AFC & He Guesses Who’s From Philly

Rob talks about co-owning the football team Wrexham A.F.C. with Ryan Reynolds, pranking each other with birthday gifts, people using the C word in Wales, the new season of "Welcome to Wrexham," and we go out to Hollywood Blvd to see if he can tell if someone is from Philly just by looking at them!

When the guest greets Guillermo 😊

[@MsMiika13]

Indeed but fyi, many, even most do. Just not always shown directly on camera but it's apparent.

[@lizrobinson3893]

Love Rob, he’s taken our Wales, our City, our community, and our beloved football club to his heart! He and Ryan have lovingly put us on the global map ❤

[@kinyemibola4386]

So happy for the people of Wrexham! It’s very good to have a club with a lot of history back in the leagues.

[@ItsParachuteAdams]

We need the Sunny podcast back already

[@BwInNewJersey]

At least let us know if its coming back

[@cadegarrettmusic]

We should get this to top comment. I love the sunny gang and will always support future endeavors but if pod is cancelled let us know; if they still need time and are busy it’s been long enough to at least let us know that. They don’t owe it to us, but it just seems odd they haven’t. Side note: how funny would it be if they’ve just been arguing between the 3 of whether or not it’s coming back this whole time😂

[@danielhaas9612]

100%

[@mpblolly]

I love the fact that football and/or Wrexham are making their way in the States and onto big TV shows like this. Keep up the good work Rob.

[@cwg73160]

-the fact-

[@raidercam567]

The game is starting to explode here. Should reach new heights by the World Cup. As a football fan for almost 20 years, it's about time. And Ron and Ryan have certainly helped that trajectory. Love them both ❤

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

I think the fact they have taken football to the states is a much bigger achievement than helping Wrexham get back in the league and promoted once again. Sometimes in football a team needs to spend a bit of time in the wilderness. I grew up within a five minute walk of Fratton Park, so trust me when I say I know what it feels like to see your team spend some time in the wild

[@devilsadvocate1597]

I was going to rant about how 'real' football is the WORLD'S biggest sport, but now I realise American's are starting to see the beauty of the sport! As for contact ball games, American football vs Rugby lmao! Then there's Irish Hurling, and Aussie rules football, they both make Rugby seem a walk in the park!

[@prgx52]

The MLS has done really well last year and this year with Messi coming over, even women's is improving in popularity, here is Missouri the KC Current have their own whole stadium! I really LOVE to see it!

[@Alex-zi1nb]

its hilarious that the picture of rob looks more like a mixture of rob and ryan

[@sparky4878]

I was thinking that too, there was some Ryan about it

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

Something I've told the fellow that runs the Wrexham AFC Fanzone channel and will repeat here: Ryan and Rob gave the players, the team, the town back their mojo. They believed in them, took over, kept believing in the players, and suddenly the players were even better than before...because R&R believed in them...sunk money into that belief. And it transformed each player, then the team, and now the town ...all bursting with pride! They are present when possible, and care about the people...and when you put people before anything else, everything else falls into place.

[@geofthompson3844]

My best mate is from Wrexham and his uncle did the song that Wrexham sing at games. And you're right, the whole town has been revitalsed by this.

[@ToniShute]

I work at Wrexham Maelor Hospital and competently agree with you…. The town love R&R for their belief in the club and the way they are promoting the town, bringing in new businesses and injecting life back into the people with the excitement of what’s happening now and what’s to come x

[@lauriejones4507]

Does anyone else judge the guests on how quickly and warmly they greet Guillermo?? 😅

[@kathleenthompson2319]

Yup

[@sharrielee911]

It seems sometimes they give him more luv then they do with h Jimmy 😅LoL .much respect for those that do 😊

[@UptownBoogieDown]

What a stone cold legend of a human being, love you Rob

Amazon should put rob in fallout. He totally could pull off an old timey 1950s guy

[@population-_-420]

Idk why but fallout so far is amazing three episodes in 10/10

[@Gazshadows]

Being from Wrexham its so strange seeing the town become so famous.. and Wales for that matter as im sure most of the world always see Wales as England.

[@Victoria11T]

Should have reminded us about when mythic quest comes out.

[@destructoBoi420]

It did seem like he was going to announce it. Hopefully they reveal it online soon.

[@biggigunz43]

Since it’s on Appletv he had to cut himself off since this was about a Hulu show and they’re on abc. Both Disney networks

[@karlkettner4954]

It really is a great show.

Does Rob still uses the M.A.C SYSTEM?: Move in After Completion.🤣🤣 Genius!!

[@davidburke2132]

As a Brit I refuse to believe that Rob is actually an American! He’s clearly just playing a role. This is apparent from the way he fits in so well in Wrexham 😜
