There's also a great deleted scene from earlier in the episode where Mac and Dennis tell Charlie that they're breaking up, that it's Charlie's fault and that Mac will be moving in with Charlie (so move past it). The S5 bloopers have outtakes from this scene.
I love the deleted scene from this episode. It’s so funny and also part of the bloopers I think. (Which you said in your comment. Pardon my lousy reading).
this episode has my favorite conversation in it where Charlie is like "Cat in the wall eh? I bet it flattened itself out and slipped through a seam in the wall" Dee: "there's nothing in the laws of nature to support that." Charlie: "Cats do not abide by the laws of nature." the most truthful thing ever spoken
Yes they do abide by the laws of physics and nature...Cats are still composed of atoms and cannot literally transport across the universe whenever they feel like it...I've starved a cat and it didn't spring back to life after dying. They require things. They abide by things. Cats aren't following their own laws of physics despite that you think its so hilarious that they do...🤡
@@jsmithers. not sure where u get your info, buddy, but everything you just said is wrong & dumb. cats are 6th dimensional beings that flout the fundamental physical laws of existence as we know it whenever they please

@@crankfastle8138 there was definately tension but i think glenn , as he has admitted in the past, misses social cues and definitely misinterpreted robs jokes. But it was still funny and just not that deep
I would love to see an extended episode where the guys and Meg all passionately plead their case for their favorite episode. I’d watch hours of that actually. So go ahead and do that now please.
The way you guys spoke about one another's feelings and the level of respect, even while joking around, is incredibly admirable. Solid friends who can hold a mirror up to one another and articulate why it isn't accusatory are absolute treasures. I loved watching that part of the episode.
This episode is one of the best. When Charlie tells Frank that Dennis swallowed some apple seeds, Frank responds with just a look of sheer terror. A perfect punchline
14:30 rob saying "how do you grow? how do you learn?" in response to people avoiding conflict is unironically eye-opening. as a conflict-avoidant person myself, that perspective is super refreshing to hear
Definitely worth confronting the problems and disagreements in your life head-on. Better to spend half an hour arguing and then have a weight off your shoulders for the rest of your life, than to just carry that weight around with you everywhere you go for the sake of comfort. People who never give anyone a chance to disagree with them never learn when they're wrong. And nobody is always right.
@@IllusionistBeatsOfficialidk it’s like Glenn says, some of us were raised in an environment where arguing and self-advocating just made things worse and it’s hard to reframe arguing as a form of problem solving after that
I hear them talking about this and I think “Jesus these guys really think their listeners are stupid if they think we don’t understand that resolving conflict is an integral part of having a happy and fulfilling life”, but then I see comments like these and I guess it’s worth it. I just feel bad you’re getting your life lessons from these clowns (whom I love) lol
@@redgreen2453 I was raised in a highly dangerous, abusive household, where if I so much as spoke out of turn I would be physically assaulted by a grown man. I've still never been one to back down from my principles and avoid a discussion. I'd argue I'm actually too far the opposite for my own good sometimes. I have a lot of sympathy for people who grew up in similar situations, but I don't see it as a valid excuse for grown adults to stay in a state of arrested development. Conflicts can be difficult, as my PTSD ensures, but I still only feel like I've "levelled up" in maturity when I've face the thing I was avoiding and dealt with it maturely. I'm 22 and constantly find myself blown away by middle aged and elderly people who are at a stage of development I recognise from my childhood years, simply because their fragile ego won't allow for them to risk the humiliation or sense of threat or discomfort a disagreement can cause. Circumstances can 100% make conflict difficult to approach, but any excuse is still just that: an excuse. Avoidance and stagnation are essentially two sides of the same coin.
@@johnwerner69 It's already an overload of self-righteousness from them every-time they speak, but that usually gets watered down by them actually discussing sunny and doing bits. When it's just them discussing their day, it's 100% unbridled divas who are full of themselves.
I enjoyed the scene reading a lot. Rob really became a stronger actor with each passing season and it was cool to see him now as opposed to then doing the scene from when he was less honed. Not that he wasn’t good then, he’s just even better now. His delivery has gotten SOOOOO GOOD.

I like that Glenn & Rob trust each other enough to be straight to their face. I would much rather have conflict & sort out an issue with a close friend than have someone hold it in or say it behind my back. Love that Charlie is the peace maker ❤
I absolutely love when they actually go through their opinions and discussions. it is really refreshing to see adults who are comfortable with who they are and feel confident in their friendship and can talk ab these things and resolve them. Rob's 19:20 idea for a episode was so good!! I hope they do discuss their favorite episodes, it would be amazing!
They are literally saving face like half this episode because of the stupid ass shit they talked about last episode. Well glen and Rob’s anyways, Charlie stayed clear of their bills hit antics.
These three men communicate and empathize better than anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder they seem so happy in their family life and personal life outside of work. It’s amazing
I agree. You can see the admiration they have for each other too. They obviously have such a great relationship between the 3 considering they have been working on the same show for almost 20 years and it’s rare in that business something like that last this long.
People keep saying Charlie is the glue but man lemme tell ya.. That cool chick from the other podcasts leaves for like 1 episode and all hell breaks lose.
I love how they subtly say lines from the show in the pod, such as “And then it just kind of ‘ends’” And Glenn saying “then the internet ruined everything” the same tone as Frank says “then AIDS ruined everything” Nice touches for the fans
I don't think it's on purpose. They often wrote those lines or improvised them. Sometimes the might be aware of it, but I'm sure they often say things that they forget are quotes from the show.
Why am I sobbing over these long time friends smiling and talking about movies and jokes that didn't make it in and idk. Its magic. They still have it. They still respect each other. They are still IN it. They still got the jokes. Their hearts are all in it. Still. This literally brought a tear to my eye watching this podcast for the 397th time. Thats why we love it. Doesn't matter if you talk about Anne Wilson or the episode. We just like the inside baseball of it all and watching friends hang. We feel like we've always been a part of the gang.
This has been the one I've been waiting for. Mac and Dennis Break Up is one of my favourite episodes, it's such a perfect distillation of what the show is with the classic dynamics. This is the episode I recommend to people if they've never seen the show before.
Shoutout to Mara for boldly stepping up to fill Megs shoes. Tough role to take, but she did well despite the gangs best efforts 😂 Love everything about this podcast.
Can't speak on behalf of the rest of the fans, but I tune in for the gang. Same with watching Always Sunny. Getting to hang out with you guys doing your thing is all that matters, you don't need too much structure.
This episode is another reason why season 5 is the best in the series. There are so many iconic moments; Frank’s toe knife, Charlie’s explanation of cat physics, Dennis’ outburst about the apple-as Glenn said, it’s all laughs from start to finish.
"Mac and Dennis Break Up" Is definitely in my top 5 episodes of all time, i'm glad the guys agree that its an absolute banger. "Peel this apple for me" might be my favorite comedic moment in the whole series.
It was more so they subject matter than how they handled themselves I’m calling it now - they’re going to find themselves in a controversy regarding pseudoscientific nonsense. The mad smoothie thing, Glenn was sucking off is genuinely bad for your health. Even with their sponsors, Better Help is predatory. I know they’re expected to sponsor shit but they do it in such a “snake oily” type of way
Then I think they should probably make a separate episode about that, not piggyback on the podcast about the actual show's episode. But whatever I'm just a savage and an idiot
I love this podcast so much, it’s genuinely the only one where they can change something every week and I’m on board with it. Usually I’m so adverse to change but with these guys, I trust it. I trust they can make an amazing podcast regardless of anything that happens to it. Love you guys, stay hot.
The beginning of this was lovely where the guys respectfully clarified each others’ perspectives and intentions with some of their discussion from the last episode. This should be watched by all friend groups and couples. 😀🙌🏼
It’s hilarious that Rob is more pragmatic about health, diet, and science, and Glenn is more holistic crunchy pseudoscience-prone considering that their characters are the EXACT opposite.
I think people avoid conflict not just because it's uncomfortable but because it can be exhausting. Even if you are as good at conflict resolution as these guys just hearing the constant debates sounds exhausting; I imagine that's why they enjoy filming so much more than writing.
i feel like it’s really rare to get to see people organically work through conflict like this in such a healthy way… sharing convos like this with people is so generous & offers such a lovely model of what productive and friendly conflict can look like!! great pod
I think it’s not uncomfortable for you guys bc you’re friends. While a listener might *feel* like they know you parasocially, they don’t actually know where your limits are. Basically the viewer doesn’t know if they’re witnessing a real fight or not lol.
One of my favorite lines is in this episode. "This little lady is a calico cat. All calico cats are female." I thought it was one of Charlie's crazy Charlieisms that couldn't possibly be true. Then I come to find out thats for the most part, true.
I appreciate this. I finally get Robs perspective, and it’s beautiful. Back on the aftershow I thought he was genuinely pissed, but now I get he has a different relationship with conflict than most people and it really is a positive thing if people are able to hash things out and be honest.
I was in a dark head space this morning, thank you guys so much for pulling me out of it. You guys are the brothers I miss. I grew up wth 2 brothers, man today's pod hit me, in a good way. Rob and Glenn getting into it really felt like home. Charlie trying to be the voice of reason, again comforting. Thanks for these, even when you get off track, WE LOVE IT! ❤️
As a huge pushover I really respect Rob for being so casual and even positive about conflict. I'm more like Frank plugging up my issues with greasy chicken wing paper
As someone attempting to address possible ND, do you mean Rob's ability to naviagte conflict and passing that to Glenn, or Glenn learning how to navigate from Rob? Or maybe something else intiretly?
@@CH1K3N99As someone who is also trying to address possible ND, I took it as Rob was the one who wanted to have the upfront conversation and sort out the problems, because problems need solutions. The most direct route may be conflict, but I would say for the most part it’s just passionate communication. I related to his perspective thoroughly.
Y’all really do have such a healthy view on conflict. I’d say Rob is one of the most emotionally intelligent people on the planet. Constantly learning from him!
I'm so glad they did the Video store clerk guy reread from the episode, I laughed at the exact sametime Glenn and Charlie did at Rob's line delivery 😂 Gold
I love seeing the conflict and I find it super interesting to watch you guys hash it out. I think an episode of you all debating the best episode would be brilliant.
Mara is a substitute teacher who wasn't warned that her class is the worst behaved class in the school.
This. And then add in the fact that the kids are her bosses 😂

I love watching her internal conflict - she loves the banter but sometimes you can see her wanting to go "omg will you assholes stay on track?!" but, you know, with love.
She's the fill-in baby sitter who was given no notes

Rob's 19:20 idea for a episode was so good!! I hope they do discuss their favorite episodes, it would be amazing!
Love that Charlie is the peacemaker of the trio lol
Rob, Glen and Charlie are putting on a communication and relationship seminar. These guys are giving it away for free!
literally 😄
They are literally saving face like half this episode because of the stupid ass shit they talked about last episode. Well glen and Rob’s anyways, Charlie stayed clear of their bills hit antics.
Chumps.
the puke sounds dennis did after eating the seeds in this episode is the best thing I ever heard
These guys are great friends cause a lot of ppl couldn’t have a conversation like this productively
These three men communicate and empathize better than anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder they seem so happy in their family life and personal life outside of work. It’s amazing
I agree. You can see the admiration they have for each other too. They obviously have such a great relationship between the 3 considering they have been working on the same show for almost 20 years and it’s rare in that business something like that last this long.
Literally I aspire for this level of healthy relationships
It’s so great to see three friends understand each other so well. Love seeing them push each others buttons.
Their chat about the last talk and conflict, holy shit that was fascinating and healing. Five star men. Mara... "this is riveting."
People keep saying Charlie is the glue but man lemme tell ya.. That cool chick from the other podcasts leaves for like 1 episode and all hell breaks lose.
Macs cadence in this scene is comedic genius. Still makes me laugh out loud.
I love how they subtly say lines from the show in the pod, such as
“And then it just kind of ‘ends’”
And Glenn saying “then the internet ruined everything” the same tone as Frank says “then AIDS ruined everything”
Nice touches for the fans
I don't think it's on purpose. They often wrote those lines or improvised them. Sometimes the might be aware of it, but I'm sure they often say things that they forget are quotes from the show.
@@droughdough they know exactly what they’re doing
@@droughdough they absolutely are doing it on purpose lol Jesus Christ
Why am I sobbing over these long time friends smiling and talking about movies and jokes that didn't make it in and idk. Its magic. They still have it. They still respect each other. They are still IN it. They still got the jokes. Their hearts are all in it. Still. This literally brought a tear to my eye watching this podcast for the 397th time. Thats why we love it. Doesn't matter if you talk about Anne Wilson or the episode. We just like the inside baseball of it all and watching friends hang. We feel like we've always been a part of the gang.
This has been the one I've been waiting for. Mac and Dennis Break Up is one of my favourite episodes, it's such a perfect distillation of what the show is with the classic dynamics. This is the episode I recommend to people if they've never seen the show before.
megan not being here for this specific episode, we lost 😭😭
Shoutout to Mara for boldly stepping up to fill Megs shoes. Tough role to take, but she did well despite the gangs best efforts 😂
Love everything about this podcast.
Can't speak on behalf of the rest of the fans, but I tune in for the gang. Same with watching Always Sunny. Getting to hang out with you guys doing your thing is all that matters, you don't need too much structure.
This episode is another reason why season 5 is the best in the series. There are so many iconic moments; Frank’s toe knife, Charlie’s explanation of cat physics, Dennis’ outburst about the apple-as Glenn said, it’s all laughs from start to finish.
"Mac and Dennis Break Up" Is definitely in my top 5 episodes of all time, i'm glad the guys agree that its an absolute banger. "Peel this apple for me" might be my favorite comedic moment in the whole series.
I loved last weeks episode, felt natural. like hangin out with the gang
It was garbage.
whatever jabroni
It was more so they subject matter than how they handled themselves I’m calling it now - they’re going to find themselves in a controversy regarding pseudoscientific nonsense.
The mad smoothie thing, Glenn was sucking off is genuinely bad for your health. Even with their sponsors, Better Help is predatory.
I know they’re expected to sponsor shit but they do it in such a “snake oily” type of way
Then I think they should probably make a separate episode about that, not piggyback on the podcast about the actual show's episode. But whatever I'm just a savage and an idiot
@@keithriley6597Can't like it if I don't
Im totally on Mac's side here...
You can see the rage boiling up inside dennis... I mean Glenn.
Honestly, I just like hearing the guys banter and talk for hours. They can talk about the episode or anything for that matter.
I love their real conversations. It’s both funny and thought provoking.
The way these three communicate with each other is just brilliant, i think a lot of men and people in general could learn a lot from them.
I love this podcast so much, it’s genuinely the only one where they can change something every week and I’m on board with it. Usually I’m so adverse to change but with these guys, I trust it. I trust they can make an amazing podcast regardless of anything that happens to it. Love you guys, stay hot.
Last weeks podcast may not have been a successful conversation but it was hella entertaining
With all due respect, you only need the three of them shooting breeze to make a good podcast
yeah i much prefer the free form
I vote to throw her out. REASON WILL PREVAIL
Are we saying "hella" now?
@@kylemartin7871 "we" are not doing anything. One person used the word. You are not obligated to. Fight me. (I like conflict too)
This is awesome. I hope I can find the kind of friendships they have because the communication between them is really beautiful
I don't think Meg/Mara are necessarily to keep the guys talking about the episode, but it helps a lot to balance out three big personalities
It is totally necessary. It is totally necessary.
The beginning of this was lovely where the guys respectfully clarified each others’ perspectives and intentions with some of their discussion from the last episode. This should be watched by all friend groups and couples. 😀🙌🏼
The line up with “Mac and Dennis Break Up” and the beginning of this is incredible 😂
It’s hilarious that Rob is more pragmatic about health, diet, and science, and Glenn is more holistic crunchy pseudoscience-prone considering that their characters are the EXACT opposite.
Wow, Robs way of looking at conflict is great!
I think people avoid conflict not just because it's uncomfortable but because it can be exhausting. Even if you are as good at conflict resolution as these guys just hearing the constant debates sounds exhausting; I imagine that's why they enjoy filming so much more than writing.
i feel like it’s really rare to get to see people organically work through conflict like this in such a healthy way… sharing convos like this with people is so generous & offers such a lovely model of what productive and friendly conflict can look like!! great pod
The last podcast was great. I love a fiery debate
Hell ya!
I think it’s not uncomfortable for you guys bc you’re friends. While a listener might *feel* like they know you parasocially, they don’t actually know where your limits are. Basically the viewer doesn’t know if they’re witnessing a real fight or not lol.
Exactly. This episode and the previous didn't feel as fun as any other episodes.
What? i know it wasnt a real fight it was pretty easy to see that it was just banter 😂
I dont feel like i know these people, theyre just actors i admire on a show i love.
@@dumb525 the man shouted "he's fucking gaslighting me!!"
That doesn't feel to me like banter.
@@itmeurdad It did to me.
This podcast hasn’t even begun to peak
I like that this continued almost exactly from a week ago like no time had passed.
One of my favorite lines is in this episode. "This little lady is a calico cat. All calico cats are female." I thought it was one of Charlie's crazy Charlieisms that couldn't possibly be true. Then I come to find out thats for the most part, true.
THE NEW SEASON IS SO FUNNY!!!! I think the podcast has inspired them for this season
I appreciate this. I finally get Robs perspective, and it’s beautiful. Back on the aftershow I thought he was genuinely pissed, but now I get he has a different relationship with conflict than most people and it really is a positive thing if people are able to hash things out and be honest.
Definitely a top tier episode of the Pod because of the raw emotions. KEEP IT UP GUYS, you guys are the best
This was the very first episode of sunny I ever watched and I still maintain it’s the best one. I’ve been waiting for this podcast forever
I was in a dark head space this morning, thank you guys so much for pulling me out of it. You guys are the brothers I miss. I grew up wth 2 brothers, man today's pod hit me, in a good way. Rob and Glenn getting into it really felt like home. Charlie trying to be the voice of reason, again comforting. Thanks for these, even when you get off track, WE LOVE IT! ❤️
As a huge pushover I really respect Rob for being so casual and even positive about conflict. I'm more like Frank plugging up my issues with greasy chicken wing paper
I’m like Frank,,, just use a gun for ALL conflicts,,,,, even opening tuna cans haha
@@DannyDeVitois79I see what you're doing here. Okay, just get it over with.
one of my fav episodes, that first apartment scene with Mac and Dennis is legendary
Glenn’s smirk that Charlie was talking about was soooooo funny
I find the nuances of their social dynamic extremely interesting. I love when these guys get off topic.
14:18 onwards, Rob and Glenn getting to the heart of autistic interactions. Very relatable
As someone attempting to address possible ND, do you mean Rob's ability to naviagte conflict and passing that to Glenn, or Glenn learning how to navigate from Rob?
Or maybe something else intiretly?
@@CH1K3N99As someone who is also trying to address possible ND, I took it as Rob was the one who wanted to have the upfront conversation and sort out the problems, because problems need solutions. The most direct route may be conflict, but I would say for the most part it’s just passionate communication. I related to his perspective thoroughly.
Y’all really do have such a healthy view on conflict. I’d say Rob is one of the most emotionally intelligent people on the planet. Constantly learning from him!
I'm so glad they did the Video store clerk guy reread from the episode, I laughed at the exact sametime Glenn and Charlie did at Rob's line delivery 😂 Gold
Man at the end when these guys are acting out the scene. They got something there, I think these guys have a future in acting honestly.
😂😂😂
LOVING THE NEW SEASON!! it has the old season vibes & i can’t wait to see the rest.
Do what do what do what do whatever you waaant!!
Frank vs Russia is seriously a top tier Sunny episode. I’ve watched it like 4 times already
I love seeing the conflict and I find it super interesting to watch you guys hash it out. I think an episode of you all debating the best episode would be brilliant.
