TheDeadpoolstar and the Matchbox Twenty singer both star in a new FX and Hulu commercial for Aviation Gin. In the spot, Reynolds pokes fun at another Rob in his life — Rob McElhenney, his co-founder of Wrexham AFC.

Thomas then chimes in with his own introduction.
“And I’m Rob Thomas, no title,” he quips. Reynolds interrupts him and says, “Legendary singer, Rob Thomas. And thank you for doing this. I really appreciate it.”
The musician, who looks clearly baffled, then asks Reynolds, “What are we doing?”
“Well, Wrexham fans have grown used to seeing me and other Rob together, but he’s not legally allowed to be in Aviation Gin commercials, so,” he trails off, referring to McElhenney.
Thomas was still clueless as Reynolds made another reference to the Welsh football team.
“You want me to sing songs about Aviation Gin?” Thomas asks. Reynolds responds: “Yes and in Welsh.”
A good sport, Thomas responds, “I can try.”
Finally, the pair toast with gin-filled drinks as Reynolds jokes, “I already like you better than other Rob” and it closes out with Thomas singing “one, two, three, four” in Welsh.
“Other Rob,” also known as McElhenney, has his own spirits company, an Irish American whiskey brand calledFour Wall, which he co-founded with hisIt’s Always Sunny in PhiladelphiacostarsGlenn HowertonandCharlie Day.

In a hilariousYouTubevideo about the “origin story,” Day sipped on a smooth Irish whiskey, while Howerton ordered an American rye for “something a little more bold.” A tap on the back from McElhenney forced the two drinks to spill into one another, thus creating Four Walls Irish American Whiskey.
“We wanted to create a brand celebrating the four walls that have held our good times in and kept our troubles out,” Howerton said of the whiskey named after the four walls of a bar.
