Airing as Episode 3 on July 16, 2025
What we know:
- Mac (and Dennis) seem to go about this via "legit means" and take a course:
- And respond to real emergencies!?
- This episode was filmed, at least in part, on October 21, 2024 on the Fox Studio Lot's "New York Streets" set:

- Filming also took place on October 25 & 26, 2024, on Baker St. in Los Angeles:

- Ambulance scenes were filmed using this Arm Car Camera from CineMoves, which is a pretty cool piece of equipment, and indicates some more intense/complex driving scenes were shot. (You can see it in action in an unrelated project here.)
- The Ambulance is being used to deliver for Postmates (a food delivery service), and is a plot stated by Charlie to have a more classic, old-type of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia feel. This is the Charlie and Dee B-plot, which probably comes together via Mac and Dennis!:

- This is the episode which features the plot where the Gang gets addicted to hot sauce, as first teased by Rob on Hot Ones.
- Richard Burden, a stunt driver, is credited for #1702 on IMDb. (This credit essentially guarantees that the writers noted for this episode are correct.) Kaitlin Olson also has a stunt double credit for this episode. Hugh B. Holub is credited as "Judge" for #1702 on IMDb. (These credits are as of June 12, 2025 a little conflated with Frank is in a Coma, due to it being Episode 2, but should belong to this episode and not #1707)
Predictions:
- This shot from an FX teaser likely belongs to this episode, with Charlie (and Frank) as part of Charlie's chef hussle
- There are possibly parallels between this episode and "Bums: Making a Mess All Over the City"
Questions:
Will other members of the Gang be involved in the Ambulance-Postmates scheme, or will there be a completely separate B-plot?It seems like the B plot is the Ambulance-Postmates scheme!
Notes:
- *The writers on this episode could be swapped with Dog Track, as filming does not always happen in production order (e.g. #1602 was filmed before #1601 in 2023), however given stunt driver credits for 1702, this episode #1702 (and its corresponding writers) seems the more-likely candidate for Mac and Dennis Become EMTs.
