The origin of Rickrolling started sometime around the year 1999 or 2002 as an Internet Email Prank where you would be treated to an email from a friend or a random message sent to you by an unknown sender. When you clicked on the link inside you would be sent to a new window where the video of Never gonna give you up would open and play the video. At the same time the lyrics of the video would appear and any attempt to click off the video would skip to the next sentence in the song until you got through the lyrics of the song before you were allowed to shut the video off, or just allowed for the whole song to play.

Change to the Simultaneous references of the appearance in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode. You cited the wrong episode
The song "Never Going to Give You Up" appeared twice in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 1 episode 4 "Charlie Has Cancer" whiched aired on on Aug 23, 2005.
https://itsalwayssunny.fandom.com/wiki/Charlie_Has_Cancer scroll down to trivia. Or watch the episode on Disney+/Star (Canada) or Hulu (USA) to confirm. Fast forward to 10:54. Dennis even mentions Rick Astley when asked what he listening to.
In the podcast you referenced as a citation, they only mention the song when Rob goes a little off topic and starts discussing music they have used through out the series, but it does not appear in episode 15 of Season 3 "The Gang Dances Their Asses Off".
In fact, the song is only used one other time on Oct 3, 2018 in Season 13 Episode 5 "The Gang Gets New Wheels" at the end of the episode as a call back to the Season 1 episode. 199.7.158.57 (talk) 10:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
according to the never gonna give you up article, when USA invaded panama they played this song as Psychological warfare. Does that count as rickrolling Thehistorianisaac (talk) 00:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
The song was in iasip (Charlie has cancer) in 2005 which was before the first uses of the rick roll. The current article says it was in iasip in 2007. 98.14.97.228 (talk) 15:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
