“That right there is the mail. Now let’s talk about the mail. Can we talk about the mail please, Mac? I’ve been dying to talk about the …
Charlie’s illiteracy aside, I’ve worked in a mail room before and this isn’t far off from how insanity-inducing it actually is. I swear to fuck, I kept getting letters for people wiped from the system, deceased, or just didn’t exist. They almost always had to be returned, tossed or sent elsewhere. It is that maddening and Charlie’s reaction is justified.
LYRICS: Mac: They’re onto me, dude. Those guys are sharp as nails down there. You can’t put anything past them. Oh my God, dude, I am freaking out, I’m so stressed, I feel like I’m having a panic attack. Charlie: You wanna talk about stress? You wanna talk about stress? Okay, I’ve stumbled onto a major company conspiracy, Mac. How ’bout that for stress? Mac: ‘The hell are you talking about? Charlie: This company is being bled like a stuffed pig, Mac and I’ve got a paper trail to prove it. Check this out. Take a look at this! Mac: Jesus Christ, Charlie. Charlie: That right there is the mail, now let’s talk about the mail, can we talk about the mail? Please, Mac, I’ve been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, okay? Pepe Silvia, this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Pepe’s mailis getting sent back. Pepe Silvia, Pepe Silvia. Look in the mail– but thiS WHOLE BOX IS PEPE SILVIA!! So I say to myself I gotta find this guy. I gotta go up to his office I gotta put his mail in the guy’s goddamn hands. Otherwise, he’s never gonna get it, it’s gonna keep coming back down here. So I go up to Pepe’s office, and what do I find out, Mac? What do I find out? There is no Pepe Silvia. The man does not exist. Okay? So I decided, “aaahhh shit buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper.” There’s no Pepe Silvia? You gotta be kidding me, I got BOXES FULL OF PEPE!! Alright, so I start marching my way down to Carol in HR, and I knock on her door and I say CAROOOOLLLL!!!!! CAROOOLLLL!
Hold up, I just noticed at around 1:45 when Charlie says “HALFway to Siberia” the audio seems to switch from the boom mic (or lav, not sure) to some other lower quality mic. I think he must’ve peaked the mic with that enthusiastic “HALFway” and they had to do some audio editing around it. Just kind of mildly interesting and funny.
That right there is the mail. Now let’s talk about the mail. Can we talk about the mail, please, Mac? I’ve been dying to talk about the mail with you all day, OK? “Pepe Silvia,” this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Pepe’s mail is getting sent back to me. Pepe Silvia! Pepe Silvia!

When they were selecting the voice cast for the Mario movie, illumination showed Nintendo and Miyamoto some vocal samples from a list of potential actors. That means that’s there’s a pretty good chance that Miyamoto himself has seen this clip or at the very least the audio for it and I’m not sure how to feel about that information…
Imagine you’re just minding your own business and suddenly the new guy just barges into the office and begins banging on the door to the storage closet screaming, “CAAAAAAROL! CAROL I GOTTA TALK TO YOU ABOUT PEPE!” and then just looking gobsmacked when he opens the door, then lighting a cigarette mumbling about someone named “Barney” as he storms back to the mailroom
I feel like Charlie right now, a lot of fans have a theory that he’s illiterate and mistook Pepa Silvia from Pennsylvania, and Carol from HR is Care for HR(or something like that). However, I have an alternative explanation. Perhaps due to Charlie’s level of paranoia from his already dubious sanity, he kept pushing his mail delivery to the end of the day, and everyone else has already left for the day. That could explain why Charlie can’t find anyone, and has “boxes of Pepa” along with all the other of the employees that he claimed don’t exist.
Fun fact no one asked for…. Pepe represents “P.P.” It’s written as P.P. but people say it out loud as Pepe. P.P is an acronym for the latin words Pater Putativus which means supposed father. It’s often written as P.P on old stained glass artwork in churches depicting Joseph the supposed father of Jesus. So Pepe is a common nickname for people named Joseph. Or in Spanish José. Get it?…..Joseph, José, P.P, Pater Putativus, Pepe. It’s all the same.
Dude is super confrontational about the question, like redbulled right out of his mind.”Noah’s ark? Prove me wrong, Adam and eve? Prove me wrong!” Bro, calm down, science is a tool that is used to understand that which is around us, it’s not the enemy. Instantly throws out Richard Dawkins, like he’s got some wall with red thread and a dozen black and white photos. Always sunny in Philadelphia season 4 Ep.10.
