Rob talks about the events that led to him injuring his foot over Thanksgiving weekend, 15 seasons of “Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” doing a new podcast with Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton about the show, Danny DeVito joining the cast, co-owning a football club in Wales with Ryan Reynolds, his love of the Eagles, and looking like Gardner Minshew.

This dude is a straight-up, Larry David-level genius. And he still comes off humble. Sunny is just so goddam good, but so is MythicQuest (not being paid to say so).

I loved Rob so much, such a genuinely awesome dude. So happy Sunny which is my fav comedy of all time has been running for so long. Love Mythic Quest as well and their podcast is actually so hilarious and gives lots of insights to each episode and just their lives in general.

[@sophiehollis3502]

Where do you find the podcast?

[@davidice1]

That clip shows a revelation that a character we've known for years has a hilarious name, which is itself a callback to the reveal years earlier about his son's name. And that's how you make a hit show that is this good for this long.

Rob was raised by two moms, wasn't he? So when he says he called his dad, I assume it was Luther who told him to "shake it off", without blinking.

[@PWizz91]

Check out early eps of always sunny and rob now.... a tan makes everyone look better

[@HatsovPenske]

He is actually using the cane on the wrong side. Everyone does that intuitively but the point is to shift the weight off of the injured leg to the opposite side of the body. His doctor should have demonstrated that. Try it sometime if you don't understand at first. For proper cane height the handle should reach your wrist with the arm relaxed and pointing down.

[@marcusaureliusRomanEmperor]

10:50 - Does he say “only Sunny”?

[@craigrussell3062]

I love It's Always Sunny to death, but the "longest running sitcom" title needs a bunch of asterisks. First you have to eliminate animated shows like The Simpsons, which currently has 33 seasons and 714 episodes. Second, you have to acknowledge that even though Ozzie and Harriet "only" had 14 seasons, and Sunny now has 15, O&H made 435 episodes, for an average of 31 per season. IASIP will have 162 episodes at the end of their 15th season, an average of 10.8 episodes per season. Third, It's Always Sunny premiered in 2005. Curb Your Enthusiasm premiered in 2000 (or 1999 if you count the original HBO special). Since both shows currently have a new season airing in December 2021, Curb has definitely been running longer (although for only 11 seasons, with more breaks in between, which will total 110 episodes). To sum up, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the longest-running sitcom if you discount animated sitcoms and don't count by number of episodes or number of years on the air. But hell, it's been on a lot longer than MY sitcom...

[@blutwurst4360]

Simpsons ist not a live action sitcom
