• 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. 

Predictions:

• The below photo was taken on October 24, 2024 (in-between dates the street scenes were filmed), so it is likely the cast are in wardrobe for this episode:

• Mac and Dennis "dress the part" of EMTs, and end up responding to a real emergency call while in the midst of their delivery scheme
• There are 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?

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)
