Ok so the main guys in the crew have their own personality secrets that occasionally get touched upon but are rarely addressed or talked about directly. Dennis is a psychopath maybe serial killer, Mac is gay, and Charlie is illiterate. In Macs case he’s now open about it, but I can’t think of any not so secret secrets that Dee or Frank have. Any ideas?
Your girl’s gotta get her guts pumped one way or another
isnt she like 60??!
We’re the same age!
Dee is a full-on rapist.
Dyslexics, kids, old people, you know.
95% of what went on was completely innocent. It's the other 5% that really sullied the operation.
True actually, good answer
Yes, surprisingly so. How she ruined Cricket… wow!
Okay but what’s her secret
Berating men until they cry and convincing cricket to leave the cloth
"She just call me a Cardio Jerk or a Workout Turkey...."
She is slamming ass all over town.
Any multiple number of-of sperms could have gone up there and eaten the egg.
It’s lines like these that make me wish to spend a day in the writers room to hear how they arrive at some of these lines and plots.
I feel like there has to be some level of off the cuff stuff at play. It’s just raw comedic chemistry sometimes I think, and that’s what it creates, lol.
It's clear from watching the podcast how goddamn witty and hilarious Charlie Day is off the dome. I'd bet the line mentioned above was improv on his part.
Yeah there’s def some improvisation. I recall when Charlie and Mac are stuck in the abandoned empty pool, Charlie interjects voodoo during Mac’s prayer. Funny to watch and see Mac’s response.
Or dee sets roommates on fire
She overwhelms them with her larger frame, and shoves her fingers don’t their throat and says, “stop talking”.
Frank's time in Vietnam clearly still has some untold chapters, and let's not forget the off-handed mention of Dee trying to set her college roommate on fire, after trying to mimic both the way she talked and the way she dressed.
I was copying her she was copying me…
Yeahrs ago, I burned my roommate's mattress down to the box springs whilst she was sahleephing, and I’ve a hankering to do it a-gain 🧐
DEE, I swear you would be of more use to me, if I skinned you and turned your skin into a lampshade.
I could even add you to my collection!
You have a collection?
Of course not, Dee. That would be ridiculous. Think of the smell. You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!
Rotting FISH… furniture.
"...off-hand mention..."
And the reason she failed a background check at Gunther's
You light ONE BITCH ON FIRE-
and everybody FREAKS OUT
Yeah she burned her
At least she wasn’t holding a box of kittens.
Frank gets a bad rap. He was just making sure no innocent Vietnamese go hungry.
They’ve got nothing on him past ‘92, tops!
Dee attempted an Erebus?
We see in the gang gets analyzed that Dee has been presenting herself as a successful actress to her therapist. I’d like to see what more of her relationships outside the gang believe about her.
Well she did bow out of being in the Notebook. Which is ok because she acknowledged Rachel McAdams did a fine job with the part.
Wouldn’t mind a “day in the life” episode for Dee. Similar to the Being Frank episode.
Plot twist: It would just just be one of those eagle nest cams.
I saw one of those once. They weren't sure whether or not the nest was active, so unfortunately, a worker came by and took the camera down. But then, he fell and got stuck, and his plight was webstreamed to a massive audience.
Is this what the Silicon Valley episode is based on? Or are you just referencing that show lol
Yeah, i was just trying to make a reference there. Guess it didn't land as well as I thought. Who would have thought that another group outside the gang would see a person in peril and be amazed at the views they're getting.
Nah dude I’m fired up on that reference, that show is goated
This is the funniest comment I've seen in this subreddit. 🤣🤣🤣
Frank’s known yet unknown unethical business practices (also his time in Vietnam). Dee is the same as her twin where she coerces sexual partners.
Yeah Frank literally ran an illegal sweatshop in Vietnam and, in Dennis' words, is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people.
He also fed them cat-and-human-finger soup.
You know, feeding people to people, shit like that.
Throw em in the soup!
Also made someone eat a shit sandwich
Yeah Wolf Cola is probably a tad shady
Shady nasty?
What the hell is Shady Nasty?
In times like this I like to quench my thirst with a delicious Wolf Cola.
Well, Frank has a drug problem and hookers, but I think the hidden thing is his businesses. Like Frank's fuilds and cooking the books at the bar. Dee is just a dirty whore and has no self-esteem at all, you know that and crack.
Awww, did someone get addicted to crack?
Just a little Crack.
And that was just cause her and her brother were trying to get on welfare.....why do you bring it up? Do you have some?
Frank is a frog boy. Dee has untreated brain damage issues from smashing her head at the roller rink.
At least one of them has donkey brains
Dee does have a plan to eliminate everybody else.
I think Dees secret is that she's actually a bird.
This, like did you know the twist at the end of Sixth Sense is that the dude in the bad wig was Bruce Willis the whole time?
What the fuck
I don’t think Charlie knows how to drive either
In the ponderosa wedding he states he has forgotten how to drive, which means he definitely knew how to at one point. (According to himself, and I don’t know how reliable Charlie is)
My thinking is he can’t read so can’t pass the written test.
He adapted
I’ll just move past it.
To reading?!
He drives in the games at Risk E. Rat’s Pizza and Amusement Center.
It’s like he doesn’t even get us
A Denial Correlation...what does that mean???
Pretty good, that’s close!
I love how wholesome that short interaction is.
i know! it’s so sweet. Mac and Charlie are so good together
Frank and Dee are married.
Surprised I had to scroll so far for this one!
But they don't have an official certificate. Because Seamus doesn't really exist
Do you have an official certificate to prove that you don't have donkey brains?
I love Danny's slight break when Charlie says that line.
jus commented this🤝🤝surprised that ur the first one I found that mentioned it!!
Are you pullin my dick bro?!
Dee's secret is her friend Steven.
Frank was at Chappaquidick
I don't know if I'd consider Charlie being illiterate/stupid is much of a secret. I don't remember which episode exactly it is but the episode where Charlie wants to learn business from Frank and Dennis calls out Charlie for not being able to read. Frank says "He'll adapt", Dennis-"He'll adapt to reading??" and there's Flowers for Charlie.
Frank secretly is actually Rambo.
Dee is also a psychopath. Frank doesn't have a magnum dong.
Were you planning on offing me and offing Dennis also?
The bloodbath in which Frank saw many pigs eat many men
Dragons don't actually eat people; they eat treasure.
Charlie's not so secret secret is having being molested by Uncle Jack tho.
Have you seen wrestling on television?
I think Dee's secret is that she loves to emotionally abuse men, and Frank's.... well, there's probably worse in his past regarding sweat shops and how he was able to create all his wealth.
Frank was institutionalized (at “a nitwit school”) during a time in which such places were genuinely awful — overcrowded, understaffed, underfunded, filthy, etc. (Think Geraldo Rivera’s expose of the Willowbrook State School.) They play it as a joke on the show, but that shit’s legitimately traumatic. Dude dissociated by becoming a… frog kid. 🐸
Frank has had a brain tumor since at least "Being Frank".
Not really a secret, but I often forget that Dee has had a biological child since the end of season 6.
Did they use her eggs or did they fertilize the eggs of a good woman and put them in Dee’s womb?
It's a donor egg, not Dee's.
That frank signed everything over to Dee when he dies.
Dee was planning to off Frank and take his wealth, anything in Vietnam is on the table for Frank. Maybe wolf cola too.
There was no soup. Nuh uh. No sweatshop.
I think Dee may have ended up in involuntary psychiatric care at some point. With her family it’s entirely reasonable though.
Very unprofitable scams
Definitely secret bits of “work” from back alley surgeons. Ironically making her look even more like a bird
In “Gun Fever Too: Still Hot,” they confirm that Dee was institutionalized for setting her college roommate on fire. But it’s okay, it was involuntary, so it doesn’t even really count.
Dee's secretly been dating high schoolers for years.
It's not a secret that Charlie is illiterate, he's in denial. And his illiteracy has SCREWED US again
Now, now, Charlie can read Gaelic.
It just doesn't come in handy all that often.
Dee in fact did want in on the poop war from the start. She was jealous a few pieces of poop got more attention than her. That’s why when the lights went out, she unleashed some thunder of her own. Thunder of the… chocolate variety.
Dee is actually a bird.
He is a drug addict with various untreated mental illnesses.
She has a massive case of narcissistic personality disorder.
I think Dennis has NPD, but probably not Dee.
Dee is a compulsive liar and has delusions of grandeur, which is a trait she shares with Dennis. Frank was in that nitwit school for a reason
There was that sweatshop soup fiasco but the statute of limitations is way past on that. And Dee did bang that kid.
Dee is the useless chick
Dee is the grown up version of the sister from Dexters Lab
Frank was pretty clearly an elitist and douchebag boss before he joined the crew and while he has embraced Charlie’s ways, we do see certain points where Frank sees something as beneath him for no reason other than he thinks he’s in a special class (but he is because he’s Frank and he rules)
Frank served some pretty nasty human/cat/etc soups in his day
aren't they both married to each other?? (I don't remember how far they went to trick bruce) it's not technically a secret, but as far as I can tell it's never brought up again
Isn’t Frank’s that he was in the institution & that he was really Froggy?
Dee has failed once and succeeded once at having sex with high schoolers. So there’s that
Dee is willing to put out for.... anything really.
Bony American is dirty dirty whore. She brings great shame to her nation.
Dee is a serial rapist and frank exploits minorities for financial gain
Dee finally got off... bro.
Thanks to the McPoyles
Rarely addressed or talked about? Might want to check those examples!
Very good question. I think that the secret that nobody acknowledges about Dee is her rage issues. She tried to burn her roommate, she has her own version of the Dennis system. She even calls herself a golden goddess. I would be very interested to see what the dynamic of the Reynolds Twins was.
As for Frank the thing that the gang casually ignores is his traumatic past, current slide into senility and the many crimes he has committed for profit.
Dee is unfunny and unattractive.
That would certainly be a secret about a hilarious, attractive character.

Frank likes banging hoors, and dee tricks jerk-turkeys into sex.
