[00:00:00] Speaker A: Sam. [00:00:25] Speaker B: Hey, you reached the mayor's office. This is Alex. You're supposed to chime in. [00:00:31] Speaker A: Oh, that might go. [00:00:31] Speaker C: That's now three of us. [00:00:34] Speaker A: We're running out of time. [00:00:35] Speaker C: Come on. Sorry. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Come on, Mike. It's Alex, Mike now, and Adam. And we are unavailable to come at the phone now, so leave your message at the. Forget. Let's do the. Hey, Mike. Adam, it's Alex. I just landed in Florida, and I turned, like, my Wi Fi back on. I just heard back from the people at the mayoral exchange program. It turns out that the town I'm going to, Yeehaw Junction, Florida, like, their mayor, is not there. But the plane that their mayor, Douglas Fluferneuter, was on to come to. Yeah, it's going to be delayed for a couple of days, but it's already in the air, so it's like they're just kind of flying circles around Florida. So we're going to be out without a mayor for a few days. Listen, just do me a favor. Just keep everything quiet. Keep everything, you know, don't do anything drastic. And please don't open the silver box in the back of my closet in my office. Mike knows where it is, and Adam knows what it is, but you cannot tell each other the other piece of information. You know how it works. All right, I'll be back in a couple of days. Have fun, guys. Bye. [00:01:59] Speaker A: So, I was thinking, and this might be a little controversial to do inside, folks, but what if we put all of the cans of Steel City that we've all been pounding, put them in a line? We got the guns. Let's just go nuts, guys. Let's go nuts. [00:02:15] Speaker C: Yeah, let's do it. [00:02:16] Speaker A: That's what. Haas. Haas. I know you won that award last week for worst game, so why don't you come on up Haas. Haas is going to go first. And, hey, extra points if you hit the can, but you get one point if you do shoot the oil painting of Alex that's behind each. You know, we've got oil paintings of Alex from each angle that go along the wall. Yeah, no, Haas, you painted them, so, obviously, you're familiar, and thank you for offering preemptively before you shoot them, to do touch ups on them afterwards so Alex can't tell. [00:02:54] Speaker C: This is going to be the only joy I've had in my entire life. [00:02:57] Speaker A: So, what do you want to go with? You want automatic, semi automatic revolver? We got the whole, I think, for. [00:03:04] Speaker C: The name of the game, we got to go. Shotgun. What are we doing here? Come on. [00:03:10] Speaker A: Sawed off or sawed on, which is. [00:03:14] Speaker C: The more illegal one? [00:03:15] Speaker A: Well, sawed on is two shotguns put together. [00:03:20] Speaker C: Oh, I want that one. I want that one. Give me that one. I'm going to shoot the cans now. [00:03:26] Speaker A: Yeah, go ahead. Haas. [00:03:27] Speaker D: Fire. [00:03:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I got four paintings. [00:03:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:32] Speaker C: Let's go. [00:03:33] Speaker A: Got Alex. Zero, 91, 80, and 360. [00:03:37] Speaker D: Okay, Mike, come on. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Can you take over? I'm going to just make sure. I'm going to get the scotch out and tape them up. [00:03:45] Speaker C: Yeah, we got plenty of alcohol. [00:03:47] Speaker A: UMC. [00:03:47] Speaker C: Hey, guys. All right, everybody. Who was there with the double sawed on shotgun, over here. Haas, you got terrible aim, especially when you're drunk. We hate you. Thank you so much for coming. All right, this is not what I had in mind when I said we were going to have a shotgun competition today. But you know what? We'll do it. This is great. All right. Yeah, you grab the gun. You're up next. [00:04:14] Speaker D: Today, I have already got my own. [00:04:20] Speaker A: A sawed on shotgun is two shotguns glued together barrel to barrel. He takes out a sawed on and on and on and on shotgun, which. [00:04:30] Speaker D: Is sort of on it. [00:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah, a buzz saw with a lot of smaller. It's sort of like a spur on the front of it, so very destructive. [00:04:43] Speaker C: That is a scope that is like a sniper laser rifle. And that is the single most elaborate gun I've ever seen in my entire life. Okay, Dale, what am I doing to restack the guns, the cans, because Haas missed all of them. Good luck. Go for it. [00:05:01] Speaker D: Easy. [00:05:02] Speaker C: This is game. [00:05:08] Speaker A: He got all of them. [00:05:10] Speaker C: He got all of them when I was drinking. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Well, better get on the floor and lap it up. It's a party. [00:05:19] Speaker D: This place is great. [00:05:21] Speaker C: This is awesome. I haven't had a place like this since college. This is great. [00:05:27] Speaker A: Suddenly a lot of rubble in here. I don't know if, Mike, if we're going to be able to put this together the exact way that it was, but fine. [00:05:36] Speaker C: What's going to happen? Is Mayor Floofer noodle going to be that big a dick about the state of the mayor's office? [00:05:43] Speaker A: You won't know. So we've got time. We've got until Alex gets back. Know, dry wall, wet wall, et cetera. A parched. [00:05:54] Speaker C: Wall. Yeah, no, we got it all. We got it all. We got the builders, we got everything. All right, what do you say? Yeah, we should probably talk about the episode or something now that Alex is in. [00:06:10] Speaker A: Come on, man. We don't have to do that this week. It's a fucking party. [00:06:14] Speaker D: Hey, dudes, I'm going to drop this microphone in the. [00:06:20] Speaker C: No, wait, hold on. [00:06:21] Speaker A: That's expensive. Listen, I'm here for. No, don't worry. The toilets are a rental. They're not going to be damaged. [00:06:29] Speaker C: It's fine. It doesn't matter. [00:06:30] Speaker A: They're insured. [00:06:30] Speaker C: How do you rent a toilet? [00:06:32] Speaker A: I went into Lowe's with a flat cart and took them, and I said, I'm going to bring them back. And they said, fine. [00:06:43] Speaker C: I feel like, wait, did you steal these things? [00:06:48] Speaker A: Because I looked them right in the eye and I said, I'm going to take these. And they said, all right, bring them back when you're done. [00:06:56] Speaker C: I feel like this is a bad idea. I feel like just generally speaking, the quality of a toilet goes down after use. [00:07:04] Speaker A: And to be clear, this was Lowe's Los, which is where it's a home improvement store where everyone is deeply depressed, so their investment in the merchandise is not what it is at Los. Sorry, apostrophe s. No, I got you. Yeah. Taking advantage of some people struggling with mental illness so that I can get 30 toilets into our office for a party. [00:07:31] Speaker C: I am impressed, Adam. I have seen you consume more beer than I ever thought existed on this planet, and yet you are still incredibly pedantic about the spelling of which home improvement store you went to. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Well, these are Nas, man. These are non alcoholics. [00:07:48] Speaker C: You go to a party and drink non alcoholic beers the entire time. [00:07:52] Speaker A: I brought 15 kegs of Na Heineken 0.0. [00:07:57] Speaker C: Yeah. All right, I guess I didn't know you were that dedicated to being sober. That's cool. [00:08:05] Speaker A: Well, you know, I've had my struggles in the past. [00:08:08] Speaker C: I did. I wasn't going to bring them up, but I am aware. [00:08:11] Speaker A: Well, when I was working at LoWe's, it's just part of the culture. [00:08:18] Speaker C: Forgot. So. You right. Your employee discount. That's probably how he got. [00:08:24] Speaker D: Hey, man. Hey, Mr. Adam. Sir, are you finished drinking that beer? [00:08:28] Speaker A: Yeah, sure, go for it. [00:08:29] Speaker D: Yeah, no, I need to get as much as I can for beer Boy. Beer boy 0.0. Beer boy won't work. [00:08:35] Speaker A: This beer boy. [00:08:36] Speaker D: Excuse me, I need to find more alcohol. [00:08:38] Speaker C: Beer boy came. Holy shit. I haven't seen him since 84. [00:08:41] Speaker A: I invited him, but I didn't think he was going to show up. I put him on the evite. [00:08:45] Speaker C: But, dude, this is the problem. Beer boy comes these things. He drinks every drop of alcohol so that nobody else can have them. [00:08:53] Speaker D: This is in the other room. Just a faint noise that sounds like a vacuum. [00:09:00] Speaker A: Wet vac of course. Oh, God. [00:09:06] Speaker C: Oh, he started. Crap. [00:09:08] Speaker A: It's going okay. Well, I mean, if it's alcohol, then we'll still have the 15 kegs of NA that I brought. Do you think that's going to be popular with this crowd? I know that. [00:09:18] Speaker C: No, I don't. Not only that, if your boy consumes anything under 3% alcohol content, he gets hissed. We do not want to see. [00:09:33] Speaker A: Well, I heard we do not want. [00:09:34] Speaker C: To see beer book get pissed. [00:09:36] Speaker A: And I don't want to set this up too pointedly, but I heard that he explodes. Yeah, I heard that if beer boy drinks anything with less than 3% alcohol. [00:09:49] Speaker C: He explodes for him. Yeah, that's it. We don't want a murder on our hand. [00:09:55] Speaker A: Well, it wouldn't be a murder. It would be a suicide under our wives. [00:10:00] Speaker C: Isn't that negligent? I don't know. I just don't want to go to jail again. Please. [00:10:04] Speaker A: Again? [00:10:07] Speaker C: Listen, college was a rough time. [00:10:12] Speaker A: We cut back to a party that Mike was at in college, as he's alluded to previously. [00:10:19] Speaker C: Hey, everybody, crank the tunes. You'll never guess. I just robbed a bank. We got all this money for the beer. Let's go, baby. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Mike, we have the beer. We've been going for a couple hours now. You robbed a bank? [00:10:37] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought that. I didn't think we had enough money for the beer. [00:10:44] Speaker A: What bank did you rob? Not Lynbrook Family Credit Union? [00:10:49] Speaker C: Yeah, that's the only one within walking distance. [00:10:51] Speaker A: Mike, you robbed the LFCU. This guy grabs Mike by the collar and lifts him up. Mike, all of my money was in the Lynbrook family Credit Union. [00:11:03] Speaker C: Well, now it's right. I got good news for you. It's right in this bag right here. You can take it. [00:11:08] Speaker A: I can take it? [00:11:09] Speaker C: You can take it. [00:11:10] Speaker A: All right. [00:11:10] Speaker C: I was going to buy you beer with it anyway. [00:11:15] Speaker A: I wasn't going to buy beer with that money. If you must know, I was saving. I was going to bail my girlfriend out of prison with it. I almost had enough. [00:11:25] Speaker C: Listen, Midwest. Evan, I get it. I understand. I do. [00:11:34] Speaker A: To differentiate me from the other Devons, obviously. Northeast, southwest, Northwest. [00:11:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:38] Speaker A: No, Pacific North. Northwest. Don't get Northwest Devon and Pacific Northwest Devon confused. [00:11:43] Speaker C: Very. They get upset. [00:11:45] Speaker A: And they do not. [00:11:47] Speaker C: I didn't know Sophia was that close to bail. I did not. I thought that after she murdered those people, she'd be away for much longer. [00:11:52] Speaker A: Her proximity to bail is not changing. It's the same as it always is. It's my proximity to being able to afford bail. Sorry, I've been drinking a lot of NAS, so I'm a little pedantic right now. [00:12:05] Speaker D: Fellas, fellas, you got to come look southeast. Devin. Sophia and Devin and Space are about to get into a huge fist fight. [00:12:12] Speaker A: Oh, shit. [00:12:13] Speaker C: Oh, God. No. [00:12:14] Speaker D: Let's wait. [00:12:17] Speaker A: Everyone runs outside onto the lawn where these three are standing in a triangle, sort of a. I'm not crazy about this term, a Mexican standoff, but with fists. So they're all pointing their fists at each other. [00:12:29] Speaker C: They're all just pointing their fists at each. [00:12:32] Speaker A: Whoa, whoa. Sophia, how did you get bailed out? Oh, my. [00:12:39] Speaker C: I didn't get bailed out. I broke out. I couldn't wait for you forever. [00:12:44] Speaker A: Well, but who picked you up from the. No, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me. It was Mid Atlantic Devon. Oh, it was Mike. [00:12:54] Speaker C: No, it was Mike. Okay, no, Mid Atlantic Devin sucks. I would never touch Mid Atlantic Devin. [00:13:01] Speaker D: Well, that hurts. [00:13:02] Speaker A: Mike grabs Mike by the collar again. [00:13:06] Speaker C: I wanted it to be a surprise. [00:13:07] Speaker A: It's your birthday, Mike. I've asked you time and time. Thank you. By the way, I really appreciate you organizing this party for my birthday, inviting all the Devons. I've warned you time and time again to stay away from Sophia. She's not interested. She's not interested, Mike. [00:13:28] Speaker C: In you. Yes. I didn't realize. [00:13:34] Speaker A: Drops Mike to the ground. Yes. The reason I was waiting, slow walking, getting her out of jail was because I wanted to give her some space. Because I cheated. I cheated with Caribbean Devon. And it was a moment of weakness. I really wanted her to forgive me. So we'd talked about it. Obviously, I accepted the charges. We talked about it on the phone, and she just said, give it time. But I guess after a fashion. Mike, thank you for forcing us to confront this and get some closure. [00:14:26] Speaker C: Yeah, man, of course. I understand. You know, I wish I knew this before Sophia gave me the gun to rob the bank with. I thought that. I didn't realize that I wouldn't have shot all those people. What? The bankers resisted. I had to get the money somehow. [00:14:50] Speaker A: Mike bank robber, you are a complete maniac, man. Honestly, I got to admit, I have half of mine to turn you in. I'm going to call my friends in the FBI. [00:15:10] Speaker C: I'd appreciate you not. [00:15:12] Speaker A: Well, all right, what's in it for me? [00:15:14] Speaker C: As previously stated, I could buy you several Na beers. [00:15:21] Speaker A: I'd get pretty pedantic if I had several Na beers. [00:15:24] Speaker C: I know, but you've had a rough night. You can be as pedantic as you want. [00:15:28] Speaker A: They're not beers so much as they're a flavored malt beverage. [00:15:31] Speaker C: But all I'm hearing is, you want another one? That's all I got from that. [00:15:37] Speaker A: Well, you know what? I'm sorry. I did come in a little hot there. Hey, it's not like you invited. I mean, that would have been a step too far. That would have been crazy having Caribbean Devon at my. And nobody has to do the Voice cow bunga. [00:15:56] Speaker D: All right, we cut back to hear the phone ringing again. The same voicemail plays. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Adam, Mike, it's Alex again. I'm in the car on the way to Yeehaw Junction. I just forgot to tell you, when I'm not there, you guys tend to drone on a little bit. Please don't forget to introduce the show and tell everyone that it's everybody loves everybody loves Raymond and tell them what episode you're talking about. Okay, I'll call you later with my barometer. Once I actually watch the episode. I was feeling lazy this week. All right, love you. Bye. Oh, wait, no, I don't. Bye. [00:16:30] Speaker A: So just to be clear, Mike, you got arrested and went to jail for what exactly? That story was a little. It seemed like you committed multiple crimes. [00:16:41] Speaker C: But I did commit multiple crimes. The crime. [00:16:44] Speaker A: And then there was about to be a four way brawl, I believe, on the lawn. Yeah. What exactly happened? [00:16:51] Speaker C: So what happened? Know, as I said, I robbed the bank, I shot the people, I freed someone from jail. The brawl occurred, Caribbean Devon showed up, and who, for the record, I also brought into the country illegally. He went back home and didn't have his passport ready, so I stuffed him in my suitcase to bring him back. [00:17:14] Speaker A: Surprising. I always thought that Caribbean Devon was from the US Virgin Islands, but go on. [00:17:18] Speaker C: Oh, maybe he was. But regardless. But regardless, I took my suitcase. I was under the impression I was committing some kind of a crime. But what ended up happening was I had left my car parked in front. Yeah, I was double parked. [00:17:35] Speaker A: You were double parked in front of a hydrant. [00:17:37] Speaker C: Wow. In front of a hydrant. Yeah, it was not a good look. And obviously, they're there for many days. [00:17:42] Speaker A: And I've heard you scream about this in your sleep. There was the fire. Right. And you know how when somebody is parked in front of a hydrant, the fire department has to break the window and run the hose through the fire? So, because you were double parked. And then I believe somebody, based on what you've been screaming about, somebody triple parked you in. [00:18:01] Speaker C: Yeah, like I couldn't get out. It wasn't on me. Yeah. [00:18:03] Speaker A: Oh, and you were in the car? [00:18:05] Speaker C: Yeah. No, this was it. At that point when the brawl broke out, I was like, all right, this is not going well for me. So I went back. I got back into my car somehow through the broken window, but I was like, all right, I can't. [00:18:23] Speaker A: You were in your car. Fire starts. Fire department pulls up, they break through the car that's double parked you in both windows, find you in the middle, ask you to move. You can't. [00:18:35] Speaker C: I say sorry, I can't. Yeah. What? [00:18:43] Speaker A: Who did you double park? Who was the first in the sequence? [00:18:49] Speaker C: Some Mazda, I don't know the guy's name. He was just in a spot that I wanted. He was also in there. Yeah. You're all just waiting for the third person. And then, like I said, then they broke in and they broke my thing and I tried to drive away with the hose. And that didn't work. [00:19:06] Speaker A: Yeah, because it was through two cars. So you tried to drive away. And then I was like, I got placed going and then snapped you back? [00:19:14] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. And then I got for the accident and I was, to be clear, I did just come from a party. I was under the influence at the time. So that was a whole other thing. [00:19:24] Speaker A: And anyway, has been what, a night in jail? [00:19:27] Speaker C: Three nights in jail. [00:19:28] Speaker A: Three nights. Okay. Oh, rough. [00:19:30] Speaker C: Yeah. One night for the drinking and then the other two nights just because they were pissed at me for obstruction of maximum of 72 hours that they're allowed to hold you without cause. [00:19:40] Speaker A: I don't, but it sounds like you do. [00:19:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, you get very aware of what the lawyers. Anyway, this is a party. I feel like this isn't about me. This is about. What is this about? [00:19:56] Speaker A: Well, I think this was just sort of like, Alex is out of town, new mayor isn't going to show up for a little bit. Let's go crazy. Just because we can. Because the hormones in the office have been crazy. We've all been obviously second puberty since the gas leak. So everyone's a little worked up. Everyone's a little randy and British. Everyone's a little Randy, a little British Randy trying to shag. So, yeah, it's know kids going to do what kids going to do. Hey, by the know, the mics are on. What do you think? We should we try to get some because, God, Alex is going to be so annoying if we don't do anything for the show. [00:20:51] Speaker C: Guy sucks. [00:20:52] Speaker A: Like, we should at least try to get like 30 minutes of content. We got to have something to put an ad in front of. Mike, if we don't put an ad on the episode, we start charging. We're going to have to shut down the foster home. Yeah, have to shut down the foster program. School lunch is going to have to go back to bread. Just bread. Yeah, we got to do it. We need that. [00:21:19] Speaker C: All right. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Sweet ad revenue. All right, so this is everybody loves everybody loves. Hold on. Yeah, start recording. Hey, everybody, this is everybody loves everybody Loves Raymond. Sorry, I got to get a little loud. The mic is picking this up. A lot of crowd noise in here. This is the only everybody Loves Raymond Rewatch podcast. And we are talking about season three, episode 14 today. It's called Pants on Fire. Sorry, Mike, I know. A little too soon for that. It was, what, 20 years ago? [00:21:56] Speaker C: Yeah, a little bit. [00:21:57] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:58] Speaker C: Hey, everybody here, everybody here. If you're ready to be a part of everybody loves everybody loves Raymond this week, let me hear you scream. Woo. We have some. Jerry. Is that what you wanted in the house tonight? All right. [00:22:16] Speaker D: I'm Jerry. [00:22:18] Speaker A: Hi, Jerry. Jerry, come over here. [00:22:19] Speaker C: Hi, Trick. Okay, yes. Jerry. [00:22:24] Speaker D: Jerry's name. [00:22:25] Speaker A: Actor Jerry. Hey, come on, come here, come here, come here, come here. Get on the mic. [00:22:31] Speaker C: Don't walk away. Don't walk away. [00:22:32] Speaker A: Get on the mic. Get on the mic. You want to be on podcast? You ever been on podcast before, Jerry? [00:22:37] Speaker D: Yes. [00:22:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah? Which one? [00:22:42] Speaker D: No, I got nervous. [00:22:44] Speaker A: I have been on podcast before. That's okay. Well, I'm sorry. Don't worry, Jerry. You are, if I am aware of you correctly, you are in charge of the lifelong fitness program for seniors here, right? Walking for wellness, that sort of thing. Like the exercise equipment in the park you're in charge of. [00:23:07] Speaker D: Uh, sure, yeah, I do that and I get paid for it. I definitely don't just follow old people around for fun and chase them. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Chase? [00:23:18] Speaker D: I'm Jerry. [00:23:20] Speaker A: Yeah, the jogging program that you do that we have gotten some letters about, but I mean, it seems to be successful. [00:23:29] Speaker D: We have a very good mortality rate, or rather, a very bad mortality rate. [00:23:34] Speaker A: Depends on your perspective. [00:23:35] Speaker D: They live a long time because they are healthy. [00:23:38] Speaker A: Depending on how this works, either way, the mortality rate is high. I don't know if that means people live long or we lose or they prosper. You're a big Star Trek fan. [00:23:53] Speaker D: What's Star Trek? [00:23:54] Speaker A: Anyway, my question for you, the reason I want you to come over, because I know you watched the episode, season three, Episode 14 of Everybody Loves Raymond, because Alex usually does this. Do you want to give us, like, a little summary of what happened in the episode. A synopsis. Okay, cool. [00:24:14] Speaker D: So Raymond is his birthday, right? [00:24:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:18] Speaker D: Isn't that crazy? Oh, it's called pants on Fire. Yeah, Raymond, it's his birthday. [00:24:24] Speaker C: See? [00:24:25] Speaker D: And he's excited because it's his birthday. His mom gives him a kiss at 846 every day. But for her birthday every day, he's born on his birthday. And she went into the shower last year. That was fun. But then they find a bottle cap, and that means that Raymond was a bad son. So that Marie ends up giving Robert love to get revenge on Raymond. [00:24:53] Speaker A: Yes. [00:24:54] Speaker D: And then basically that's it. And then at the end, Raymond just kind of says, whatever and lets things go back to normal. And I didn't like Marie. I would not chase her through the woods, let me tell you that. [00:25:12] Speaker A: Jerry, were you perhaps pregaming a little bit while the episode was on? [00:25:18] Speaker C: No. [00:25:19] Speaker D: No, I'm straight edge. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Okay. So this is just you fully coherent? [00:25:23] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Were you, like, on your phone or something while you were watching the episode or. [00:25:28] Speaker D: No. [00:25:29] Speaker A: Okay. Do you have a phone? [00:25:33] Speaker D: I have half a phone. [00:25:35] Speaker A: What do you mean? You had a flip phone that you broke in half out of frustration or you share it with someone? [00:25:39] Speaker D: Well, no, I had an iPad, but it was too big. So old now. It's a good. It's a phone. [00:25:45] Speaker A: You're ahead of your time. [00:25:46] Speaker C: That's inventive. I respect that. That's pretty good. [00:25:50] Speaker A: So, Jerry, you said you wouldn't chase Marie through the woods. Let's follow up on that. Yeah. [00:25:56] Speaker C: Can we unpack that a little bit here? [00:25:58] Speaker A: Yeah. I found this. Look. Marie has been extremely passive aggressive to everyone in her family in the past. I found this to be perhaps the most. Like I wrote down, this is a legendary passive aggressive move from Marie. [00:26:16] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:26:20] Speaker A: On Ray's birthdaY, because Ray betrayed her retroactively celebrating Robert's first birthday in front of Ray pointedly to get back at him is the most. I love it. [00:26:37] Speaker C: I'm in. [00:26:39] Speaker A: Of all time. [00:26:40] Speaker C: Yes, you're right. But I dug it a lot. I got to be real with you, because what Ray said probably was 100% right. She probably felt guilty that she didn't help make the cake, and so she had the cake making urge. And just the idea of making the cake and then just saying Robbie on it is just such a great, such a smart move. [00:27:03] Speaker D: For me. [00:27:05] Speaker A: Jerry. [00:27:08] Speaker D: The question is, I don't think Ray did anything wrong. Right? Like, you tell me, guys, this. Guys, tell me if when you were all young and you did things that were not good and then time goes in a forward direction, and then later you're with your parents, those who birthed you or adopted you. I don't know, you guys. And they find the bottle cap equivalent and you have to be like, oh, ten years ago I did something like this. Would you guys share your misgivings? Way past time. [00:27:51] Speaker C: Every sin that I have committed I am taking to the grave. I am not spilling no beans. [00:27:57] Speaker D: Well, there's a lot of sins being committed tonight. [00:28:01] Speaker C: Only if we're having a good night. [00:28:03] Speaker D: I better hope the mayor doesn't listen to his own podcast. [00:28:06] Speaker A: I'm so glad that we swapped out the fish bowl for the fish tank for people to put their keys in to swing because it's getting very crazy. And I know that, obviously, as I said, everyone's pretty Randy, but no. [00:28:25] Speaker C: I am glad that we set up the orgy room. [00:28:27] Speaker A: Well, yeah, set up. [00:28:29] Speaker D: Yeah, everyone's pretty Randy, except, ironically. Pretty Randy who? It's just funny. It's a funny name. Because he's ugly. [00:28:37] Speaker A: Yeah. It's an ironic nickname. [00:28:39] Speaker C: Yeah. Every time you call him that, he starts crying. It's actually pretty brutal. [00:28:43] Speaker A: And he's the local pretty brutal is a different guy. He's the coordinator for the 911 Victims Relief Fund. [00:28:56] Speaker C: Hold on. Why did you have to bring that. [00:28:58] Speaker A: Up now I feel bad for making. [00:29:00] Speaker C: Fun of pretty Randy. Yeah. [00:29:02] Speaker A: I mean, that's why I've never done it personally to his face. I've never used the ironic nickname pretty Randy because he's ugly. He's a good guy. [00:29:13] Speaker D: It doesn't help that his last name is because he's ugly. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Because it's ugly. Yeah, because it's ugly. [00:29:22] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:29:24] Speaker A: But I think there's two sides to that coin. Yes, there are some things that you should take to your grave, and there's other things that. This was 20 years ago. It's okay. Maybe Marie is justified in feeling a little taken aback. But what can he do about it now? The house didn't burn down. There's all of these factors at play to sort of like, yes, it happened, but it's not something to disown him or ostracize him about, in my opinion. [00:30:01] Speaker D: Everyone has parties and everyone party equivalents. Except me. I never go to parties. [00:30:07] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say you don't seem to be like one that does the straight edge. Never get a party. Okay. [00:30:15] Speaker D: Literally no parties ever. If you see me at a party, it means I'm an imposter. [00:30:20] Speaker C: You're at a party right now. This is a party. [00:30:23] Speaker D: We invite runs away. [00:30:25] Speaker A: Walk. He sped, walk away. All right, well, so that wasn't Jerry or. That was Jerry, but he's not who he says he is. [00:30:35] Speaker C: Whoever the hell that was, he is chasing down old man Jenkins across the know. That's a bad guy. I'm going to be real with you. I'm glad that he left. That's a bad human being. [00:30:51] Speaker A: Well, I guess let's just keep our eye on the old man who chases other old people around town for the future. Hopefully that doesn't become a problem for us in the future. By the way, what is your job this week? [00:31:08] Speaker C: My job? [00:31:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:10] Speaker C: That's a great question. Did you get a job? [00:31:13] Speaker A: I think so. I mean, I got the envelope that we get every week that has our job in it. [00:31:18] Speaker C: I think I was supposed to be the secretary, but I'm not 100% sure. I think that might have fallen to the wayside. [00:31:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't really remember what happened there. We got so caught up in planning this party. I am. Here we go. Opening the envelope. Thank you, Price Waterhouse Cooper, for putting these together for us each week. I got Baker. I'm in charge of Baker. Yeah. What'd you get? [00:31:44] Speaker C: Okay, let me actually see. [00:31:47] Speaker A: And I don't know if this is. It's hard to tell because Alex wrote Baker and then drew a picture of weed. Smiley face, like, with the Rasta hat and everything, big red eyes. I don't know if I'm supposed to be making infused cakes or just getting. [00:32:08] Speaker C: You probably should just. Yeah, you probably should do all that. I got attendant to Mayor Fluffer Chuper. [00:32:16] Speaker A: Oh, okay. So you're just helping out the exchange? [00:32:19] Speaker C: Yeah. The man that's in the sky. So I got nothing to do. I'm doing great. Yeah. The man that's perpetually in Floridian airspace. Yeah. [00:32:33] Speaker A: Thin walls. I've heard you kneeling at your bed each night, praying to the man in the sky. You're not, like, taking it a little too far with the new mayor or. [00:32:45] Speaker C: What do you mean? I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to. Supposed to wait on him hand and foot? [00:32:49] Speaker A: Yeah, on knee, if he asks. Okay. You're not, like, worshipping him, I guess, is my question. [00:33:00] Speaker C: I am. Okay. I'll just be honest with you. All right. I wanted to kind of ease you into this. [00:33:08] Speaker A: Yes. [00:33:08] Speaker C: But we do have a new church. [00:33:12] Speaker A: Who's we? [00:33:17] Speaker C: The followers of the mayor. [00:33:20] Speaker A: Okay. Sorry. Okay, this is news. Now, when you say church, brick and mortar or more of a personality based. [00:33:29] Speaker C: No, it's more of a community. It's definitely a community based thing. Yeah. [00:33:34] Speaker A: And that bandage that you're covering up there, you said you got burned on the stove. How's that healing? [00:33:46] Speaker C: Not great, as you can see. And I take off the bandage, and you see a branding of the mayor's face. Right on. Right on the. Right on the floor. [00:33:55] Speaker A: Smiling, thumbs up. [00:33:57] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Okay. And that's just naturally how that formed. [00:34:03] Speaker C: Yeah. So, interesting. Well, all right, I'm going to stop be. Yeah. [00:34:09] Speaker A: If you could be completely honest with me, that'd be great. [00:34:12] Speaker C: Okay. I promise you won't judge. [00:34:15] Speaker A: Well, no, I won't judge. You've been going out every night to volleyball practice. I thought that's all you were doing. [00:34:23] Speaker C: No, we would play volleyball. [00:34:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:26] Speaker C: And then the group would form a big old circle and we'd sacrifice a chicken as we prayed for the mayor in the sky. [00:34:34] Speaker A: And the sacrifice, I mean, obviously. Was it Spike, set, bump? What was the mechanics of that? [00:34:43] Speaker C: Well, pretty Randy actually is in it. He's pretty great. [00:34:45] Speaker A: Really? [00:34:46] Speaker C: He's pretty great. Yeah, he would serve it. He would serve it. One of us would. [00:34:51] Speaker A: One of you would bump. So one of you spike it, and. [00:34:54] Speaker C: Then the third person would come out and spike the chicken into the ground, snapping its head. [00:34:59] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:35:00] Speaker C: It's a humane way to do it. It's a bloodless death unless you do it badly. [00:35:05] Speaker A: I don't see how that's possible. If you're smacking it down into a hardwood gym floor that it would be bloodless. [00:35:16] Speaker C: You hit it right at the right angle, the neck just snaps. It's not as. Not as bad. [00:35:21] Speaker A: Okay, and what's the point? [00:35:23] Speaker C: We pray to the new mayor for lower taxes and improved roads. Wants. [00:35:29] Speaker D: Volleyball chicken. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Volleyball chicken. [00:35:32] Speaker C: Wig fresh and broken. Pretty Randy. Great to see you. Thank you. [00:35:43] Speaker A: Randy. [00:35:44] Speaker C: I'm sorry, I forgot. [00:35:46] Speaker A: Randy, Randy, Randy, Randy. Mike. Randy, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand. I know it's been a while. Oh, pretty Randy. I'm sorry. I shouldn't call you that. Randy. [00:36:13] Speaker C: Randy. [00:36:16] Speaker A: I'm. Mike was just telling me about the club that you're in. Is that helping you get along better? I know each day is a struggle. [00:36:33] Speaker C: All right, listen. [00:36:36] Speaker D: I'm okay. [00:36:39] Speaker A: In the chicken. [00:36:43] Speaker C: Chicken wing. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Chicken. [00:36:44] Speaker D: Want some chicken wings? [00:36:45] Speaker A: Okay. [00:36:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, no, I'll take this one. This was a beefy chicken that we. [00:36:51] Speaker A: This was a beefy chicken. [00:36:52] Speaker C: You said this is a beefy chicken? [00:36:53] Speaker D: Yeah. Mike, you want to do the neck bone with me? [00:36:56] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Let's go. One two, three. [00:36:58] Speaker D: It's already broken, but. [00:37:00] Speaker C: Okay, never mind. I thought that we were doing the wishbone like we do, but you pull. [00:37:06] Speaker D: It apart even more. [00:37:07] Speaker C: Anyway, it's great to see you here, Randy. I didn't think that you were going to be able to make it. [00:37:12] Speaker D: Well, yeah, I was so busy, but then I decided I haven't been outside in over two days. I figured it's time to go stay inside. [00:37:24] Speaker A: More inside, elsewhere. [00:37:28] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:37:28] Speaker A: Why were you inside for two days? Was this some sort of. And I'm just picking up a vibe here from what Mike was telling me. Was this some sort of punishment, or were you. [00:37:41] Speaker C: Self. [00:37:41] Speaker D: Self inflicted punishment. [00:37:43] Speaker A: Okay. Violation of some sort of creed. [00:37:46] Speaker D: Well, I was on the phone with my therapist because I started to have emotions for the chicken as I was cooking him, which, as Mike knows, is forbidden. [00:37:59] Speaker C: That's a big no no you could get the boot for. [00:38:03] Speaker D: You know, we talked it out and we determined that I need know stay away from where the chickens are. And we know where chickens are. They're outside. So that's why I stayed inside. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Question. Many questions. Mike, what's the boot? And I know British is big this week, so do you mean shoe or trunk of car? [00:38:27] Speaker C: No, we're talking about the shoe. We're talking about the shoe. [00:38:30] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:31] Speaker C: No, the move is that when you are caught breaking dogma, unfortunately, the big mayor and this guy demands sacrifice. But after we had a conversation with the police, we can't do that in a traditional way. So what we do instead is we get a big ceremonial boot and kick someone, and they're not allowed back in the cult. [00:38:49] Speaker A: Fascinating. That. Oh, you call it a cult then. Straight up. [00:38:52] Speaker C: Okay, no, yeah, no, listen. [00:38:55] Speaker A: If we're trying to reclaim that. [00:38:57] Speaker C: What? [00:38:58] Speaker D: We're trying to take that word back. [00:39:05] Speaker C: If we call it a cult, it's technically a religion, and that's how we get tax deduction purposes. So we have to do it somehow. [00:39:11] Speaker D: I don't believe in it. I just like the chicken. [00:39:13] Speaker A: It's fascinating to me that your cult takes the time to consult with law enforcement about what's okay to do and all that. [00:39:24] Speaker C: Well, sometimes we throw them off the path. Like, for example, we have a guy that's really high up. [00:39:30] Speaker A: You throw them out of the car on the subway train that goes between Hoboken, New Jersey and Manhattan, you throw them off the path. [00:39:39] Speaker C: Yeah, we do that. Soon as. As soon as they pass over the bridge there, we just kind of bump them onto the different tracks. They can't get us. [00:39:51] Speaker A: Sorry, you were. [00:39:53] Speaker C: I was going to say, we got a guy that does a really good job. Every time they get close to really getting us down for not technically legal activities, we just change up the paperwork on them so that they have to spend a whole day moving all of their forms from one kind of paperwork to the other kind of paperwork, and then they can't get us. [00:40:14] Speaker D: I got to say, I used to think of you as a weak little mama's boy, but now I'm learning that you're a troublemaker. I'm a troublemaker? [00:40:22] Speaker C: You talk to me, too. [00:40:24] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:40:25] Speaker A: Whoa. Pretty Randy. Winding up big for a slap on the ass. Sorry. [00:40:30] Speaker C: No. Randy, come back here. What are you doing? [00:40:32] Speaker A: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called him that mid follow through. He was about to smack you on the ass. Randy, come back. [00:40:45] Speaker C: Randy. You know what would make you feel better, Randy? He's gone. [00:40:49] Speaker A: Okay, so just to recap, my job is to bake cakes, and your job is to be in a cult? [00:40:55] Speaker C: Well, it's the advisor to the mayor. So when the mayor eventually arrives. [00:40:59] Speaker A: Leadership position in a cult? [00:41:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Specifically. Well, he's specifically mayor Fluffer. Nutter. Right. That's the name of the guy that we're getting, more or less. We just call him the mayor in this guy. [00:41:11] Speaker D: No, Fluffer. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Neuter. Flu for Neuter. [00:41:13] Speaker A: Oh, Germany. [00:41:13] Speaker C: Thank you, Randy. I'm glad you came back for that. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Umlauts. I like Randy. [00:41:22] Speaker C: I like Randy. Randy's a good guy. [00:41:24] Speaker A: Okay, so you've taken on some sort of clerical position in a cult that's led by the mayor of Yeehaw Junction, Florida, and I'm baking cakes. [00:41:37] Speaker C: How's yours going? I got 45 members. How's your job going? [00:41:43] Speaker A: I'm looking at the envelope now. It says I need to make 45 cakes. Oh, no. [00:41:49] Speaker C: Got to get one per. [00:41:51] Speaker A: I was not aware that this is my job, so I'm going to bow out of the party for a second. Doesn't say the size. I'm going to go cupcake. Two pans of 24 cupcakes. That's 48. So three extra. [00:42:06] Speaker C: That's cheaper. [00:42:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So I'm going to go do that real quick. You keep the party moving. Try to get some opinions on the episode or whatever. I mean, who really gives at this point? But I'll be right back. [00:42:18] Speaker C: It's a party. What are we doing here? [00:42:20] Speaker A: Come on. Exactly. [00:42:21] Speaker D: Hey, are you. [00:42:23] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. Who's you? [00:42:26] Speaker D: Well, I'm no one, but you know that chair in the mayor's office that says property of Mike? Do not touch? [00:42:32] Speaker C: Yes, that's the one. It's specifically for my butt. Orthotics. You can't really mess with that. [00:42:36] Speaker D: Yeah, it's on Fire. [00:42:38] Speaker C: You did what? [00:42:40] Speaker D: No, I didn't do it. [00:42:41] Speaker C: I just saw who did. [00:42:44] Speaker D: Don't that guy over there see him? [00:42:47] Speaker C: Arson. Andy. Oh, my God. Who invited him? [00:42:52] Speaker A: Look at his dance. Look at his dance. Everybody look at it right now. I'm going to touch it, but I know I can't. But I want to. [00:43:03] Speaker C: Mike grabs a big can of Heineken 0.0 and unloads it and uses it. [00:43:09] Speaker A: To put out the chair, which there is still a little bit of alcohol in. So it does burn up big time. Big flare. Oh, my God, Mike. Oh, you always know how to turn things up just a little bit. Thank you, Andy. [00:43:22] Speaker C: This was not. [00:43:23] Speaker A: Let me kiss you on the forehead. Mike. [00:43:25] Speaker C: No, don't do that. Okay. Why are you wearing so much lipstick? [00:43:30] Speaker D: It's flammable, probably. [00:43:33] Speaker A: You know how when people. So in movies, stunt actors, there's this gel that you can put on yourself that lets you. That burns and it doesn't burn your skin. So, like, if someone needs to be set on fire in a movie, they put this gel on. [00:43:47] Speaker C: Yeah, I got the picture. [00:43:49] Speaker A: And it's hued because, look, you know this. I've written you many letters about this, and I know that you've been reading them. My dream is to kiss the fire. So I just was hoping that tonight could be the night that I did it. [00:44:08] Speaker C: I really don't think that. I'd really prefer if you didn't. This. [00:44:12] Speaker A: Listen, it's my birthday. [00:44:14] Speaker C: The clinical chair. It's your birthday, too? [00:44:18] Speaker A: Yes. Who else's birthday is it? I came here because I saw the lights and noise. [00:44:24] Speaker C: It was Midwest Devin's birthday. I forgot. This is the anniversary of Midwest Devin's birthday. Yeah, I invited him. I don't know if he actually came out, but I hope he did. Yeah. [00:44:34] Speaker A: He's my brother in law. I'm married to Sophia. You went to college, right? You guys went to Sarah Lawrence together? [00:44:41] Speaker C: That's the one. Yeah, that's it. [00:44:43] Speaker D: I went to Sarah Marshall. [00:44:49] Speaker A: No name. [00:44:50] Speaker C: We hate Sarah Lawrence. Lawrence is. Sarah Lawrence was not great. [00:44:56] Speaker A: And that's why you stand around holding that sign and wearing a Hawaiian shirt that says forgetting Sarah Lawrence, right? Correct. [00:45:04] Speaker C: That's the one. [00:45:06] Speaker A: Good title. My dream is to kiss the fire. It's my birthday. I want to make love to the fire. [00:45:15] Speaker C: Really? Is this really the special thing you want to do on your birthday? [00:45:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:45:20] Speaker C: Okay. [00:45:21] Speaker A: Obviously, I put the gel on the associated parts as well. I'm ready to go. I was just trying to get a big enough flame to really feel it. [00:45:31] Speaker C: Okay. I have a question for you, Andy, and I'm going to. Sure. I'm going to let you do it, but I really don't want this entire room to burn down. The chair was expensive enough, but do you have a way to put out the fire? [00:45:43] Speaker A: Mike, if it was clinical, you should have gotten covered by insurance. That was a miss. [00:45:48] Speaker C: We don't have insurance. No, this local government. [00:45:54] Speaker D: You hear the phone ring again in the distance? Mike? [00:45:58] Speaker B: Adam. I forgot to mention, I signed us up for some insurance, but it won't be active until tomorrow morning. [00:46:03] Speaker C: So just fuck you careful about what. [00:46:06] Speaker B: You do tonight, okay? [00:46:07] Speaker C: All right. [00:46:08] Speaker B: Love you. I mean, fuck. Never mind. [00:46:13] Speaker A: What was your question? Sorry? [00:46:17] Speaker C: After you fuck the fire. Which, again, it is getting very hot in this room. [00:46:21] Speaker A: In particular, make love. [00:46:23] Speaker C: After you make love. [00:46:24] Speaker A: Sorry? Make love through the fire. No, it's a stretch. Never mind. [00:46:28] Speaker C: Okay. After you. [00:46:29] Speaker D: I thought it was pretty good. [00:46:30] Speaker A: Thanks. No name. Guy like you. [00:46:33] Speaker D: I'm going to go back to Sarah Marshall University now. It's on the beach, so I'm going to go. My favorite thing to do there is chasing seagulls. So I'm going to go do that. [00:46:46] Speaker C: There is an active fire happening, sir, and you seem very relaxed about this. [00:46:50] Speaker A: Can you put out the fire? Yes, but not before I put in it. The fire. [00:46:58] Speaker C: Go with God, I suppose. I was going to ask you about. [00:47:03] Speaker A: Everybody loves everybody loves Raymond. [00:47:05] Speaker C: I kind of do. But I feel like you're kind of a nutcase. I don't know if I can appreciate. [00:47:10] Speaker A: Your take on this, Mike. You know that I got fired from planters this week. And that's why I've really been leaning into the arson thing. So fuck off. [00:47:20] Speaker C: First of all, great. You're still committing a crime that will destroy my place of work and residence. [00:47:27] Speaker A: It's contained. [00:47:30] Speaker C: So what other fun things do you do on your birthday? Is this what you want to discuss? [00:47:36] Speaker A: You had a question for me? [00:47:38] Speaker C: I did, and I feel like this is not going the way that I anticipated. [00:47:45] Speaker A: Calm down. The fire will still be there after you ask your question. And I will get to live. [00:47:52] Speaker C: Part of what I'm concerned about. [00:47:54] Speaker A: To be clear, I wit. Look, if it makes you feel better, I will wheel your chair on fire out of here after. [00:48:04] Speaker C: Not. No, that brings the fire to a new location. That does not. [00:48:08] Speaker A: I'll take it outside. [00:48:09] Speaker C: Okay? [00:48:10] Speaker A: I will take it outside. [00:48:12] Speaker C: Okay. [00:48:13] Speaker A: So we can make beautiful love in the moonlight. [00:48:17] Speaker C: You're fucked up, Andy. [00:48:19] Speaker A: This is fired from planters this week. 40 years on the line. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Level of psychopathic issues. [00:48:28] Speaker A: One by one into a tin. [00:48:32] Speaker C: How did you get fired from planters? Did you count wrong? What happened? [00:48:37] Speaker A: Well, you know how they have fire roasted peanuts? [00:48:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:45] Speaker A: Put my dick in the fire roasted peanuts. [00:48:48] Speaker C: You did what? [00:48:49] Speaker A: I put my dick in the fire roasted peanuts. And then I looked around at everyone else on the floor and I yelled, more like fire roasted penis. Right guys? [00:48:59] Speaker C: Yeah, penis. [00:49:05] Speaker A: What is the question? [00:49:08] Speaker D: The whole party has now stopped and is just waiting for Mike to ask this question. [00:49:13] Speaker A: Sorry we're burning Moonlight Mike and several other. [00:49:23] Speaker C: Question. My question is, have you ever had my. What did you think of. Spit it out. In this episode. In this episode of a keg stand. You keep holding that there, Quentin. My question is for you, Mike. [00:49:50] Speaker A: Your phone's ringing. [00:49:54] Speaker C: Hello? [00:49:55] Speaker B: Hey, Mike. [00:49:56] Speaker C: Hey, Alex. Hey, how are you? How's everything picked up? [00:50:00] Speaker B: I thought I would check your cell phone. [00:50:02] Speaker C: Yeah. Noise in the background. Oh, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. It's fine. It's a good time. It's nothing wrong. [00:50:07] Speaker B: What do you mean it's a good time? You're supposed to be watching the office. [00:50:11] Speaker C: We are watching the office. Michael's gotten some crazy shenanigans. It's pretty great. [00:50:17] Speaker B: Oh, is it like the party? [00:50:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that's the one. [00:50:20] Speaker A: That's what she. [00:50:24] Speaker C: Heard of you. Heard of. There you go. [00:50:26] Speaker B: You heard the line. [00:50:27] Speaker C: There you go. Pretty good. [00:50:28] Speaker B: Listen, I was calling because I realized you got my earlier voicemail, right. [00:50:35] Speaker C: With the insurance box? Oh, yeah, the insurance. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Don't worry about the insurance. We're fine. As long as your chair doesn't get set on fire. Like all of our cash is in that now. [00:50:46] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I'm aware. Yeah, that's part of the issue. [00:50:48] Speaker B: No, that box in my closet, just forget about it. Don't touch it. [00:50:55] Speaker C: I haven't. You told me specifically not if a. [00:50:57] Speaker B: Man shows up looking for it. Just tell him it's gone. I got to go. I just got to Yeehaw Junction. There are five people here and they're all named Frank. They seem to be related to each other. [00:51:09] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:51:10] Speaker B: And we're going to see where this goes. I'll call you back. I'll send you an SOS if I'm in danger. [00:51:15] Speaker C: Love you, bye. No, I don't. Bye bye. So you're going to put out the chair yet, Andy? [00:51:24] Speaker A: Not until you ask me. This fucking sorry, guys. [00:51:27] Speaker C: Sorry, guys. Yeah. So have you ever done something that has unintentionally made a parent proud? Because we had Frank be proud of Ray for the first time, I think, that we've ever seen him. Is this fire obsession tied to your dad issues? [00:51:45] Speaker A: Well, my father. So about 20 years ago, my father, who was a volunteer firefighter in and around the Sarah Lawrence College area, he answered the call to put out a house fire and some asshole had double parked. And he did what they always do. He broke the window open, ran the hose through, only to find another asshole had double parked the interior of it, had to run through there all the way through to the hydrant, plugged it in, and he turned it on. But unfortunately he had plugged it in the wrong way, you see? So the truck exploded with the force of several thousand pulsing gallons of water and killed him and didn't put out the fire. That explains a lot, I guess, to answer your question directly. No, it's not related to that. [00:52:57] Speaker C: What was your opinion on Frank this episode, though? [00:53:01] Speaker A: It's interesting because I think Frank took the opening to really share more of himself with Ray than I think he usually does. I mean, there's the things that Frank brings know apropos of, you know, are like, all right, shut up, Frank, you old Coot. But then it seems like he was almost when he took Ray by the shoulder and he know. Now I see you're a troublemaker. I'm a troublemaker too. During the war, I found this freak show in Korea where the star attraction, which of course, we didn't get to find out what it was that seemed like he was confiding in him. And in a way, that's sweet. And we see it at the end of the episode too, when he comes into Deborah's kitchen and Ray and Marie have made up and he sees the lipstick on Ray's forehead and you sort of see that he has a similar sense of betrayal that Marie had. Where. Now Ray isn't a troublemaker. He's a mama's boy. Again. I sort of felt for. Weirdly, I felt for Frank in this episode. [00:54:19] Speaker C: Interesting. That's a very interesting. [00:54:20] Speaker A: What did you actually kind of agree. [00:54:21] Speaker C: With you on the same. First of all, I thought it was hilarious. I thought it was just generally great that anything that pisses off Marie makes him happy. It's just a great character choice. I don't think I really pieced it together how much emotional connection that Frank genuinely had tied to it. But I think you're 100% right. I think that's a great insight from you, arson Andy. Yeah, I think that that's awesome. [00:54:50] Speaker A: And just to say, I went to Sarah Lawrence on a memorial scholarship for my father, and I majored in media studies, so I have a little bit of insight on this stuff. The circumstances of me being employed as a line worker at planters are something we don't need to get into, but let's just say grace. Well, maybe after I fuck this fire. [00:55:17] Speaker C: Okay, I'm going to let you do that because I really need you to put that out ASAP. It's becoming a big issue. Thank you for your insight, sir. I'm going to close the door. Right. That's. Yeah. You good? [00:55:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Thank you for leaning up against the door so we can whisper intimately to each other about do getting me quite random. [00:55:43] Speaker C: All right, I'm gone. Okay. [00:55:48] Speaker A: Hey, Mike. Did somebody mention my name? Quiet Randy. I work in the library. [00:55:56] Speaker C: Quiet Randy. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Yeah, quiet Randy. [00:55:58] Speaker C: I work in the. Oh, I think we told pretty Randy to be quiet. I think that's when that happened. [00:56:08] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Goodbye. [00:56:10] Speaker C: Goodbye. [00:56:11] Speaker A: Unless you don't want to talk to me about anything. [00:56:12] Speaker C: That's fine. It's interesting that you would come to the party to take. Is this really your went? [00:56:22] Speaker A: I sort of wanted to step outside of my comfort zone a little bit, and I've been kind of a wallflower for tonight so far, but how's it going? So I came over here. [00:56:33] Speaker D: Hey, it's quiet Randy. [00:56:34] Speaker A: Oh, no. Loud Randy. [00:56:36] Speaker D: It's quiet. It's quiet Randy. My other hand. [00:56:41] Speaker C: Hey, loud Randy. How you doing? Good to see you. Please. [00:56:46] Speaker D: How long have we known each other? Call me loud. So quiet Randy. How are we doing tonight? [00:56:53] Speaker A: I'm trying to. Trying to get out there, trying to meet. [00:56:55] Speaker D: Oh, cool. Yeah, no, me too, man. I'm looking out here scoping for all the fiery nut penises and the vaginas and all that stuff. I'm here for it. [00:57:06] Speaker A: I really don't like the way that you talk about women. [00:57:09] Speaker D: Yeah, same, man. It's going to be great. Hey, Mike, how you doing? I haven't seen you. [00:57:14] Speaker C: I'm doing good. I was going to say you did pretty good. I saw you doing the keg stand race, which is ballsy of you because you were going up against Kegstand Quentin over there. I was impressed. Yeah. [00:57:25] Speaker D: You know what? You can't beat him, but it's an honor just to compete. Am I right, quiet Randy? I'm right. He says I'm right. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Usually compete. [00:57:36] Speaker D: Yeah, exactly. So, hey, Mike, I'm here, I'm kind of interested. I'm looking for a little silver box. Alex said I could take it. Do you know where that might be? [00:57:49] Speaker A: Alex? [00:57:50] Speaker C: No. [00:57:50] Speaker A: You shouldn't tell anyone. Where the box. [00:57:52] Speaker D: Yeah, quiet Randy. Yeah, of course. [00:57:54] Speaker C: There are a lot of boxes in here. [00:57:56] Speaker A: Yeah, don't give him that ammunition. You know, he's going to make some sort of lewd joke about boxes. [00:58:04] Speaker D: Women, you know what they say about boxes. You put stuff in them and I got stuff put in boxes. I'm loud. Randy, everyone. I don't know if some applause. [00:58:15] Speaker C: I don't know if that was specifically about women. I think he was just explaining that he likes putting things into boxes. No, he didn't make reference. [00:58:23] Speaker A: Now he's a big 70s guy and box used to be slang for vagina. [00:58:29] Speaker D: You could say it. It's just anatomy pockets. [00:58:32] Speaker A: Sorry, what? [00:58:33] Speaker C: Hot boxing. I thought these are meant like hot Box, like weed in the car, Noxy boxing. [00:58:39] Speaker D: I don't really subscribe to that shit. [00:58:43] Speaker A: He's showing me on his phone. He does subscribe to Rhotbox, Foxy Boxing on Reddit. [00:58:49] Speaker C: That actually sounds like a great Reddit. I can't complain. [00:58:52] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm a moderator for the Sub, so it's more just like my job. I get paid for it. Paid in images of Foxy Boxers. [00:59:02] Speaker A: But he's a moderatorboxing. [00:59:06] Speaker C: Listen, we all have our thing, right? We all have our thing. [00:59:10] Speaker D: Yeah, that's one of my many things, including finding boxes. So anyway, what are we doing here? We're talking about a show. [00:59:18] Speaker C: Yeah, we are. And actually, I got to say, I want to get your takes on this because you guys have nicknames that make a lot of sense. We got quiet Randy over here. We got loud Randy over here. This is great. Can anyone explain to me how Ray Barone became Diz the Whiz? [00:59:35] Speaker A: I have no idea. [00:59:36] Speaker D: Yeah, well, as quiet Randy's saying, he actually has a theory. He's too shy, so I'll share words in his mouth. Short for Wizard. And Ray is short for quiet. Quiet. What's his name? Oh, yeah, quiet Randy. It's my name. [00:59:59] Speaker C: Your name? [00:59:59] Speaker A: Yeah, my name is that Raymond was. [01:00:02] Speaker D: Practicing in the mystic arts. Excuse me, Randy, it's very rude to talk over people. [01:00:08] Speaker A: Sorry. [01:00:08] Speaker D: So magic is real. And that's why in the flashback, Raymond still looked like he was 40 hanging out with a bunch of teenagers. He's always been that age. And as the show progresses, you're going to see he does not grow and he does not change. It's actually very freaky. But it's actually a necrotic art that he has perfected because he is, in fact, in secret. Diz the whiz. That's what he meant. Quiet Randy. That's his theory. I actually really subscribe to it, just like I subscribe to Boxing, which I am, in fact, a moderator of. Did I get it? [01:00:47] Speaker C: Kind of comes back to that. Yeah. Let's talk a bit about the party scene outside of Diz the Wiz, the single worst nickname that I've ever heard of. Ray is also wearing one of the ugliest shirts that I think I have ever seen in the history of humaNity. [01:00:59] Speaker A: It was the 70s with the butterflies and all that. [01:01:02] Speaker D: Well, in all sincerity, Mike, and I'm thinking about this, quiet Randy's theory is. [01:01:10] Speaker A: Interesting, but I think my name is Leslie. [01:01:12] Speaker D: I think that. Quiet Randy, excuse you. I believe what actually they're doing here is a cool little trick where they didn't really try to age Ray down too much, so they kind of leaned into the joke and dressed him up all stupid like to make him feel like, oh, he's young, he's hip, and, in fact, he is just an old, sad man. [01:01:38] Speaker A: The thing you have to understand, Mike, is that before the Irishman de aging technology was used so extensively on Ray Romano and the costumes had to do a lot more of a heavy lift than. [01:01:53] Speaker D: Look at those titties over there. [01:01:57] Speaker C: What? [01:01:59] Speaker A: I really wish you wouldn't talk to me like that. I really wish you wouldn't point to me and scream that in the vicinity of all titties. [01:02:08] Speaker C: I don't know if that's a nice thing to do. Yeah. Loud. Ready? [01:02:10] Speaker A: That was just look. And I'm wearing a jacket over it, but he put this apron on me that has fake or it has the image of breasts on it. [01:02:22] Speaker C: I see it. It's poking through. I get it. I understand what he was doing. Did loud Randy put that on. [01:02:33] Speaker D: You know, the more I see you in that, the more I stop becoming bisexual and start just becoming straight up gay. So what are you doing later? [01:02:46] Speaker A: This feels like a prank or a bully of some kind. This really feels victimizing. It feels like. [01:03:00] Speaker D: All right, I'll leave you alone. [01:03:01] Speaker C: Randy, you're such a dick. Oh, my God. I don't know if it is. It sounds like you put this horrifying, deeply disturbing thing onto quiet Randy. Also, I think you just came out of the closet. I did not realize that you were bisexual. I don't know what to do, where to go from you. [01:03:26] Speaker A: Can I say I know where to go. [01:03:28] Speaker D: I'm going to go look for that box, and I'm going to find. [01:03:32] Speaker C: I need you to not do that. [01:03:34] Speaker D: I'm going. [01:03:35] Speaker C: He's not. [01:03:36] Speaker A: He loves to do that. He loves to start a sentence, walk away, and then finish it while he's on the other side of it. [01:03:42] Speaker C: I'm going to have to get a sawed on shotgun and go after him with that. That's not okay. [01:03:46] Speaker A: Anyway, Mike, pretty Randy told me about this club that you're in, and it sounds like it's done wonders for his confidence. [01:03:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it really has. [01:03:56] Speaker A: Is there any room for. Look, I'd like to make some changes in my life so that I'm not as much of a pushover, particularly to loud Randy, and I can just sort of be myself more. Do you think you'd be able to get me in into your club? [01:04:15] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, we can definitely do that. Now, you're going to be upset when I tell you this, but you can't wear the apron to the meetings. We have strict dress code. That kind of violates. [01:04:26] Speaker A: I don't know where you got the impression that I want to wear the apron. It was a clear. [01:04:30] Speaker C: You're wearing the apron right now. Why would you do that? [01:04:32] Speaker A: Take it off. He sewed it to my clothes. [01:04:35] Speaker C: I'm going to be honest. That's kind of impressive, actually, that he was able to do that as quickly as. [01:04:40] Speaker A: Yeah, he. He was born in a sweatshop. [01:04:42] Speaker C: I'm learning more and more about loud Randy. That makes him a more sympathetic character. [01:04:46] Speaker A: It's like every detail you learn about someone at this party completely floors mean. [01:04:53] Speaker C: Yeah, kind of. [01:04:54] Speaker A: You really need to make more of an effort to get to know your coworkers. Mike and I normally doesn't work for me. Yes, he does. Does he? [01:05:03] Speaker C: Who does he work with? [01:05:06] Speaker A: Well, he's sort of a fixer. He goes around and breaks people's legs if they don't pay their property taxes. [01:05:13] Speaker C: So he's a criminal? [01:05:15] Speaker A: No, he's an employee of the city. [01:05:18] Speaker C: Oh, he's an enforcer. [01:05:20] Speaker A: Yeah, he's above the law. [01:05:22] Speaker C: Oh. Got you. Okay. Oh, God. Okay, then I really got to get asked after he gets that box, and. [01:05:29] Speaker A: I don't know if this is part of it, but I heard that your club, a big part of it, is volleyball. [01:05:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:38] Speaker A: At Sarah Lawrence, shorts are part of it. [01:05:42] Speaker C: Yeah, that's part of the dress code. [01:05:43] Speaker A: Well, good. How are these? Pulls the apron aside, shows you. Are these short enough? [01:05:49] Speaker C: Those are perfect. Those are actually. Wow. Those are Olympic regulation volleyball shorts. I don't know how you got. Those are tough to get. [01:05:56] Speaker A: I played varsity. Is that what it's called? In college, I played volleyball at SaRah Lawrence. And I went to the Olympic trials. I competed in. What would this have been? Sochi? It was the rare Winter Olympics. Volleyball. They only did it the one. [01:06:15] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say, kind. [01:06:17] Speaker A: Of biased in favor of the Russians. Because famously all of their volleyball courts are on tundras in Siberia. So there's volleyball. [01:06:27] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. No, we got volleyball. We'll get you in there, no problem. [01:06:30] Speaker A: Okay, cool. Okay. [01:06:37] Speaker C: There's something happening tonight. Yeah. [01:06:39] Speaker A: Okay. The mayor is coming. The exchange mayor. I heard that. Pretty Randy told me a little bit. [01:06:46] Speaker C: I would hope he's coming. If not, we're having a ceremony to pray for his safe arrival. [01:06:50] Speaker A: Okay, I'll be there. [01:06:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:52] Speaker A: And Mike. [01:06:53] Speaker C: Okay. [01:06:53] Speaker A: Hand on breast. Thank you. [01:06:56] Speaker C: Okay. [01:06:59] Speaker A: I'm going to go stand against the wall now. [01:07:02] Speaker C: Okay. I'm going to go chase down loud Randy. And you see Mike Sprints loud Randy running past several people that are having competitions. Chucking their bottle caps into air vents to see who can get it in the closest. [01:07:23] Speaker A: And we follow one of those bottle caps through the vents. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. It's a really cool shot. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce. It comes out another vent in the kitchen and lands directly on top of one of the cupcakes that I'm pulling out of the. Beautiful, beautiful. Leon. Thank you so much for your help. I wouldn't have been able to find all the ingredients without you. This is wonderful. These are going to be a huge hit at the party. I can just. Sorry. Okay. No, you're totally right. The fact that we were able to make gluten free muffins. This moist, belisimo, gluten free muffins. Gluten free muffins. That's right. Hey, Leon, I know we were talking about this before, but what did you think of. I mean, and you saw the episode, obviously. What did you think of the scene in Ray and Deborah's bedroom? So, obviously, it's Ray's birthday. He is entitled, apparently, to good old Sex. And he comes in. I thought it was pretty funny the way that he sort of shuffles in very awkwardly. But what was confusing about this to me was we've seen in previous, like, Ray and Deborah do have sex. At least enough to exhaust one container of spermicidal. Planning something. What do you think? Are they planning to do something adventurous? Or is it just more like the ceremony of it? That is such a big deal. What do you think? Putting the finger in the hole. Mining. The spanking? Mining. Accepting a golf truck. Mining is a submachine horse. I don't know where you got that hobby horse from. Okay, so that's what you thought they were going to do? I thought it might just be, like, anal. Well, I don't know, but, yeah, it seemed odd. I guess maybe the special thing was that he wanted to do it twice. I don't know. And it didn't seem like there were no candles or rose petals or anything. It just seemed like regular good old sex. But I don't know. What was funny about that scene, though, was Debra bringing up the birth minute kiss and Ray getting in his head, culminating in the line. Very funny line. I can't do this if my mother hasn't kissed me. Classic Ray. Indeed. I don't know. Pretty edible. I know that's the joke they were going for, but it's troubling every time. [01:10:33] Speaker D: Edibles. [01:10:35] Speaker A: Edible. Did you just drink a small container of vanilla extract? Is that what that was? [01:10:44] Speaker D: No weed. [01:10:47] Speaker A: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. Your accent. I'm sorry. Does that happen to you a lot where you ask for edibles and people hand you like. Who wrote that fucking homer? Not, you know, Sophocles. Okay, well, I think that. Yes, and these are obviously fully loaded with THC. You can't spell. You know what the C stands for? Cupcakes. What? Somebody's at the door. What? Come on in, Mike. We literally just pulled these out of the. Oh, the heats on. That always happens. Heats on the fumes. [01:11:59] Speaker C: You don't understand. Loud Randy is after the box. You know what's in it. I don't, but loud Randy is after the box. I got distracted. [01:12:07] Speaker A: I cannot let loud Randy get a hold of the box. Oh, my God, you're telling me. I don't even. [01:12:12] Speaker C: I don't know nothing now, he's looking in all the wrong places, which is good, but at the same time, there's only so much space in this house. He's going to find it eventually, and that's an issue. Is it under here? Shut up, Randy. [01:12:26] Speaker A: He's in B Kitchen. That's not good. He's close to us, and I know what it's in it, and you know where it is, so we got to keep him away from us. Principally. He's very convincing. [01:12:37] Speaker C: Give me his cupcake. [01:12:39] Speaker A: Give you his cupcake? [01:12:40] Speaker C: Well, did he get a cupcake? [01:12:42] Speaker A: Well, there's enough for everyone, and there's three extras. [01:12:45] Speaker C: Liam, I'm sorry. [01:12:46] Speaker A: Leon. [01:12:47] Speaker C: Leon. Leon. Sorry, Leon. I apologize. [01:12:54] Speaker A: Leon is here. He was telling me some great stuff about the episode. Have you been talking to people about the episode? [01:13:00] Speaker C: By the course, of course. All right, I got his cup. Give me. Is there still Sriracha in that fridge over there? [01:13:08] Speaker A: There is indeed Sriracha in the fridge. I knew you were you. You love you some Sriracha, don't you, Mike? Here you go. [01:13:17] Speaker C: You know what? Bottle, Mike twists off the cap and empties the bottle onto the cupcake. [01:13:25] Speaker A: Whoa, whoa. [01:13:26] Speaker C: You don't understand. Loud Randy is allergic to Sriracha. So I figure I'd give this to him and he's got to leave, right? [01:13:35] Speaker A: Leave Earth and be dead. Yeah. There you go. Maybe you're overcorrecting a little bit here by murdering one of our employees to keep him away from a box that you don't even know what's in it. [01:13:53] Speaker C: I don't know what's in it, but I know that it's a big deal. Right? [01:13:56] Speaker A: It is a big. Well, the biggest deal, but got. We can keep him away from it without ending his life, Mike. Okay, I thought you put this behind you. [01:14:08] Speaker C: Listen, every time I think out, I just come right back. Brings me right back in. [01:14:15] Speaker A: You made that deal with the FBI to clear your record, right? You told me about this one night when we were sharing. [01:14:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:29] Speaker A: And Leon just sworn to secrecy? [01:14:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say Leon's in on this. [01:14:34] Speaker A: Leon's in on this. Well, when you went from Mike B to Mike C, you said you would never kill anyone ever again. [01:14:42] Speaker C: Well, I didn't say that specifically. I said I would never shoot somebody. So. [01:14:50] Speaker A: Mike, if you sign the plea agreement, we will put you into protective custody. We will change your name to a name of your choice. We're offering that now from a limited. Like, the system will tell you if the username is already taken, but a name of your choice within reason. No numbers, no special characters, and you'll be scot free. Thank you for. Without your help, we could never have gotten Midwest, Devon. So we really appreciate this. We're willing to go the extra mile for you. [01:15:23] Speaker C: And I gave you the extra. Yeah. Of mean. I'm glad that I was able to help out. I would love. It was just too much. The showdown with El Chapo was just. That was a little bit scary. It was a little bit. [01:15:34] Speaker A: Wait for me. Mike, you didn't confront El Chapo. You confronted El Chapito, the young El Chapo, because it's the late eighty s at this point. [01:15:42] Speaker C: Yeah, correct. No, you don't have to tell me the year we're in this. [01:15:47] Speaker A: Well, you've been in the hole for a while, Mike. That is jail for 72 hours, so we kind of got. [01:15:53] Speaker C: That is true. [01:15:53] Speaker A: Just make sure you're back to reality. And we did waterboard you. [01:15:58] Speaker C: Yeah, that was not cool. I did not like that, as a matter of fact. [01:16:04] Speaker A: I mean, I admit the fire hose was a little much, but we're still learning, right? We're still learning how to do this. In about 20 years, we will have it down, but right now we're still learning. [01:16:15] Speaker C: You're aware I was on the receiving end. I'm going to say you were pretty good at it. It was pretty damn pleasant. [01:16:23] Speaker A: You know, I got this offer. We're opening this new branch in Cuba. They want me to go down there, know, take over. Do you think I should take. [01:16:33] Speaker C: Oh, you should do it, dude. [01:16:34] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [01:16:34] Speaker C: You should do it. [01:16:35] Speaker A: I'm sure that's going to work out fine for everybody. [01:16:37] Speaker C: It's a great opportunity for yourself. [01:16:38] Speaker A: So the plea deal. The terms are you will never rob another bank. You will never. [01:16:47] Speaker C: All right, that's lame. [01:16:50] Speaker A: You will never break anyone else out of prison. [01:16:54] Speaker C: Can we get, like, a definition of these terms? Like, what do we mean by bank? What do we mean by prison? [01:17:00] Speaker A: What do we mean by exclusive of credit unions, savings and loan, mattresses, big vault, safe, safe deposit box, mailbox, oddly enough, legally counts as a bank. Wallets. Basically anywhere money is stored. Cash register. Is this exhaustive enough for you? [01:17:22] Speaker C: I guess that's the one for you. [01:17:24] Speaker A: You were planning on knocking over a convenience store? Well, you can't do. [01:17:27] Speaker C: I was. All right. [01:17:31] Speaker A: Jail, prison place. Anyone is held house arrest. Yes, house arrest. You can't break anyone out of house arrest. Can't break anyone out of prison. Can't break anyone out of jail. Can't break anyone out of a prison of their own making. [01:17:46] Speaker C: Can I break animals out of zoos? [01:17:49] Speaker A: Let me check. [01:17:50] Speaker C: Cage. [01:17:52] Speaker A: Now. It says people, so it's an interpretive thing. [01:17:57] Speaker C: Okay, I'm going to the Bronx tomorrow. Let's go, baby. [01:18:00] Speaker A: Mike, you are wearing that shirt that says animals are people, too. [01:18:04] Speaker C: Fucking PETA. [01:18:06] Speaker A: You shouldn't have gone to the. [01:18:10] Speaker C: Shouldn't have. [01:18:11] Speaker A: Shouldn't have entered PETA's swag bag contest. [01:18:14] Speaker C: They're penguins. They're so cute. They troll the penguins. It's so nice I got to participate there. [01:18:20] Speaker A: All right, well, so no to Zeus. Third thing, you can't kill anyone. [01:18:28] Speaker C: I would like an amendment. [01:18:30] Speaker A: Describe what you would like, and I will tell. [01:18:33] Speaker C: I would like to say specifically that I will not shoot anyone. No, I would like to say that I will not shoot. [01:18:44] Speaker A: Less specific. That's more specific. We need it to be as broad as possible to prevent you from doing a murder. [01:18:51] Speaker C: Mike takes it, crosses out kill. Crosses out anyone to shoot. [01:18:55] Speaker A: Where did you get. [01:18:56] Speaker C: There you go. There you go. [01:18:59] Speaker A: You know what? Stop. Stop. Sit down. Sit down. [01:19:02] Speaker C: What? Fine. [01:19:04] Speaker A: Here's what I can offer you. No murder. Manslaughter. Okay, deal. [01:19:11] Speaker C: I'll take it. [01:19:12] Speaker A: All right. [01:19:15] Speaker C: I'm kind of in the clear on this. [01:19:17] Speaker A: No. [01:19:17] Speaker C: Well, I could accidentally kill him, right? I just like Sriracha cupcakes. I just like Sriracha cupcakes. And here I'm sharing one with my friend, and if he dies, Whoopsie, I did a poop. My bad. [01:19:33] Speaker A: I don't know what this will do for me, hell wise, but I'm going to put a cupcake on the tray. I'm going to put the bottle of Sriracha on a tray, and I'm going to loosen the cap. And if one of those things happens to fall on the other as you hand him the cupcake, you see, Leon. [01:19:53] Speaker D: Takes out a big syringe and sucks up some Sriracha and just sprays it all onto and inside the cupcake. [01:20:03] Speaker C: Leon, I knew you were. [01:20:06] Speaker A: Hey, that absolves me. You know what, Leon? Good luck. Luckily, we're not recording this, right, Mike? [01:20:13] Speaker C: No, no, we turned off. [01:20:14] Speaker A: Yeah, we turned off. [01:20:16] Speaker C: By the way, it's weird that they had Sriracha in the fridge right when we saw. [01:20:20] Speaker A: Anyway, actually, Mike, it's not that weird at all, because I did happen to look it up. And Sriracha was introduced in the United States, or at least what we think of as Sriracha. Then the red bottle with the green cap was introduced to the United States in 1980. So although it sort of took off big time in, like, the. Would not have been unusual for Ray and Debra to have Sriracha in 1998. But I also noticed that that's an interesting thing. Hey, before you go. [01:20:51] Speaker C: Yes. [01:20:54] Speaker A: Speaking of things, in the background of Ray and Deborah's kitchen. So obviously we saw that scene. Deborah making this hideous cake, Ray drinking out of the carton of milk. Hard not to notice. On top of the refrigerator, a box of Flutey flakes. Mike, this seemed like a sports thing. This seemed like novelty sports cereals. What can you tell us about. [01:21:20] Speaker C: Okay, I know I have to go kill a guy, but I really wish. [01:21:24] Speaker A: I would hear for say that I. [01:21:25] Speaker C: Think he appreciated it. [01:21:27] Speaker A: Say that you're going to handcake, right? [01:21:30] Speaker C: I have to go give a cupcake to a guy. All right, but let's dive in. So Flutiflakes were, one of these was a product produced by Doug Flutie, who was, at best, an okay quarterback from the Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears and stuff like that. But at the time of this recording, Buffalo Bills. Now, this is such a weird thing in sports, because typically you'll see sports people get into weird business ventures, but after they retire, you'll see it mostly happening there. Like, you'll see a Derek Jeter owning a car dealership or some shit like that. What's interesting here is Doug Floody had one good season, probably more than that, but the first good season he had was when he was quarterback for the Bills, in which he did a little bit above average. And he was like, wow, I'm popular. I need to do something. And so he made his own breakfast cereal just to ride that wave of him having more wins, slightly more wins than losses. He did Fruity flakes. He did fruity fruities, fluity fruities, which he was his fruit snacks line. And apparently it did well. But I looked it up, and there was a big controversy in January 1999 dealing with Flutty flakes. [01:22:53] Speaker A: Really? [01:22:53] Speaker C: Which was. Yeah. So this episode, released January 18, really may have been a mistake. January 3, there was a playoff game in which the Bills quarterback, Doug Flutie, played the Dolphins. The Dolphins stomped them. And in celebration, the coach of the Dolphins picked up a box of flutiflakes, opened it, poured it on the ground, and the entire team of the Miami Dolphins just stomped on it on live TV, and it became frontline live news. Like, is the sportsmanship, is this not. And it was a whole big thing. Eventually, the Dolphins apologized to Doug Fluty, and eventually he was released and then went to Canada to play more football, which he did also. [01:23:42] Speaker A: So that's something that Doug Flutie and Darius Rucker have in common, is that the Dolphins made them both cry. [01:23:50] Speaker C: I don't know enough about Darius Rucker to pick up on that reference. [01:23:53] Speaker A: Say Hootie and the blowfish lyric from only wanna be with you. [01:23:58] Speaker C: So anyway, that happened two weeks before this episode premiered. So depending on when it dropped, maybe it was, like, making a reference joke, or maybe it was play. Maybe it was just, like, a coincidence that it was featured in Everybody Loves Raymond at the time that this weird serial had reached the peak of cultural relevance because of this controversy. [01:24:21] Speaker A: That's interesting. You said it was on the third and this came out on the 18th? [01:24:28] Speaker C: Yeah. Two weeks. [01:24:29] Speaker A: Possible. Definitely possible. That's fascinating. Thank you for doing that deep dive. [01:24:37] Speaker C: You're welcome. [01:24:38] Speaker A: Yeah. So you would be excited, then, if maybe somebody had made a Flutey fllakes icing to put on the cupcakes? [01:24:51] Speaker C: Do you have flutey flakes? I would be shocked if you still have flutiflakes. Do you? Actually, yeah. [01:24:58] Speaker A: We found them in this clot. Leon went deep, deep in the pantry and found just a crate of them, apparently. [01:25:07] Speaker C: Yeah, they're selling currently for $75 on eBay. [01:25:12] Speaker A: Well, these are. These were in a crate that said two Miami dolphins from Limbrook. Please mail by January 2, 1999. There's some sort of conspiracy. Maybe we were going to supply the Fluty flakes for this print. [01:25:41] Speaker C: We were trying to fuck them up. We were trying to fuck up Doug Flutie. [01:25:44] Speaker A: Well, I did see back know there were a bunch of news. It was almost sort of like a shrine or something. Apparently, Doug Fluty used to live in Limbrook. [01:25:58] Speaker C: Really? [01:25:59] Speaker A: Yeah. And apparently, he was not popular because we wanted him to stay here and start for the Limbrook Owls. Right. We wanted to start our own NFL franchise built on the bones of a peewee team, and he refused to participate, so he was persona non grata here. [01:26:23] Speaker C: He can die in a hole. [01:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah, he can. In fact, anyone can. Speaking of true, why don't you go deliver that, try to kill. [01:26:31] Speaker C: Oh, well, the thing is, I also, at the same time, go give him the cupcake. Well, I'll also invite him to our ceremony because we got to pray for mayor Flu for neuter at this stage of the game. We got to make sure that he gets here safely. [01:26:48] Speaker A: I'm not crazy about how you people. Sorry. I'm not crazy about how you and your friends have hijacked this party, which was just sort of a general debauchery to be weirdly religious. [01:27:02] Speaker C: We have a whole cake stand room, a whole beer pong room. People are having fun. We're just using one of the other rooms. The orgy finished in five minutes, so we're going into the orgy room that hasn't been used in a while to do our. [01:27:16] Speaker A: I mean, people aren't thinking. [01:27:17] Speaker C: We're not bothering nobody. [01:27:18] Speaker A: They don't have the tolerance anymore. All right, I guess I'll go and serve these. What do you think? Like, Tuxedo? Should I do formal waiter? Should I do TGI Fridays with buttons and stuff? [01:27:31] Speaker C: Oh, you got to go TGI Fridays? [01:27:34] Speaker A: Okay, Leon, get the flare. [01:27:37] Speaker C: Flare. [01:27:37] Speaker A: LeT's go. [01:27:39] Speaker D: So, this is Yeehaw Junction, Florida. [01:27:42] Speaker C: Yee doggy. How you doing there, new mayor? My name is Frank. How are you? [01:27:47] Speaker A: Hi, Frank. And I'm Frank. [01:27:50] Speaker D: Hi, Frank. [01:27:52] Speaker A: And this is my daughter, Frank. [01:27:54] Speaker D: Hi, Frank. [01:27:55] Speaker A: Hey, how you doing? That would be Frank. [01:28:00] Speaker D: Hi, Frank. Pat. Pat. [01:28:03] Speaker A: Now, there's one more person in town we're going to need you to meet. [01:28:07] Speaker D: Who's that? [01:28:08] Speaker A: That's the vice mayor. [01:28:10] Speaker D: Oh, where is the vice mayor? [01:28:12] Speaker A: In the town hall, of course. [01:28:14] Speaker D: Oh, I can't wait to see it. I hope it's just as nice as mine. [01:28:19] Speaker A: Well, here we go. Let's go on in. [01:28:21] Speaker D: Town hall. [01:28:23] Speaker A: Now, this used to be a publix, but we had the fire, so now we gutted it and turned it into Town Hall. [01:28:31] Speaker D: I can see it still very much looks charred. Well, you know what? I guess it makes me appreciate that my town hall is very much not on fire. [01:28:42] Speaker A: This will be your desk. This used to be aisle six. I mean, check out Lane six. So you'll just sit here. It's a little difficult to wrap because the conveyor does still work, but okay. You'll get used to it. I mean, you're only here for a short while, but you'll definitely get up to speed in time. [01:29:00] Speaker D: Now, let me ask you guys, what is your primary podcast export? For Limbrick? It was everybody loves Raymond. What old fashioned TV show are we talking about in this town? [01:29:12] Speaker C: We watch the Andy Griffith Show. [01:29:14] Speaker A: That's exactly what I was going to say. What a. Yeah, no, there we go. We do Andy and Griffin talk. Andy Griffith. It's a popular podcast. Those boys don't live here. They come in because they record over on the selfs over there. The self checkouts. Yeah, pretty successful. Number one in Algeria. [01:29:41] Speaker D: Hey, you know what? We are number one on Venus. [01:29:47] Speaker A: Who's we? I'm sorry, we're not familiar with. What was it called? Everybody loves regardless. [01:29:55] Speaker D: Yeah, it's called Everybody Loves Everybody Loves Raymond. I'm usually the one who kind of keeps it together. I'm the only one who ever does research. I do all the editing, all that stuff. So without me, it's kind of a train wreck. So I'm a little worried how it's going to go without me there. [01:30:14] Speaker A: Well, that sure sounds like I'm trying. [01:30:16] Speaker D: Not to think about it. [01:30:17] Speaker A: Say, what episode of Everybody Loves Raymond Are you covering this week? Because I was sitting in front of the TV yesterday, I was watching my direct, and I couldn't find the remote, and it just came on. I was watching TBS, and it just. [01:30:35] Speaker D: Came a baking show. [01:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah. I was watching a baking show on the Turner Broadcasting Syndicate, and then everybody loves Raymond came on after that, and I was scrambling, trying to change the channel. Couldn't find it. Wanted to watch the dolphins, couldn't find it. So I did happen to catch season three, episode 14, pants on Fire. That wouldn't happen to be the one that you were covering? [01:31:01] Speaker C: Not. [01:31:01] Speaker A: Oh, okay. I just had some thoughts on. I'm just kidding. [01:31:04] Speaker C: It is. What? [01:31:05] Speaker D: Whoa. [01:31:06] Speaker A: What a coincidence. [01:31:07] Speaker D: Crap. If only I had my microphone here. [01:31:11] Speaker C: Frank, you make friends, everybody. I'll just set you guys up right here. You all bounce out. I'll let you get. Gentlemen, have your conversation. [01:31:19] Speaker A: Frank. But you've been stealing my cable. Right? So you also must have seen everybody loves. [01:31:27] Speaker C: I wanted to keep that on the down level. [01:31:30] Speaker A: I've been letting you do it. [01:31:32] Speaker D: I'll record this, I'll send it back to Lynbrook, and we'll patch it in with the episode somewhere. Because it'll probably be a boring episode if I don't interject at points. So you know what? I'm here with Frank, and I'm here with Frank in lovely Little. [01:31:54] Speaker C: What the hell is this place called? [01:31:55] Speaker A: Yeehaw Junction. [01:31:57] Speaker D: Yeehaw Junction, Florida. A real place that actually exists. And I'm sure we are doing justice. So, firstly, I'm just going to kind of go through a couple of things I've wanted to talk about. Firstly, there was a tiny little Colombo reference in this episode that made me very happy. [01:32:19] Speaker A: You know what? I also noticed that, and I thought, for sure, you can always count on one thing when a TV show from the 70s is mentioned on everybody Loves Raymond, and that is that Robert Culp appeared in it playing multiple characters over the course of different episodes. And that is exactly what happened. Robert Culp, who plays Deborah's father, Warren, was on three episodes of Colombo as three different characters. [01:32:45] Speaker C: You really did a deep dive over there. I'm impressed with you. [01:32:47] Speaker A: I already knew that. My mama used to tell me that every night before I went to bed. That was my bedtime story. Robert Cole was on three different episodes of Colombo's. Three different. [01:32:59] Speaker C: Sweet. [01:33:00] Speaker A: I love Mrs. Frank, God rest her soul. Mrs. Frank, I have two more things. [01:33:04] Speaker D: I want to talk about. The second thing is also kind of tiny. I love the visual image of the Kissy mark on Ray and Robert's foreheads. [01:33:15] Speaker C: All reminds me of Grandma's cookies. That old. [01:33:19] Speaker D: Yes, I was going to say Grandma's cookies. Yeah. No, it's very funny. Very comical. I'm wondering if that was just very practical. Just a lot of makeup. Just big smooch or they stamped shots, had to touch it up or stamp it or something. That's just me being curious, but I thought, visually, that's a really cool little image. It's very funny. Just overall, the last thing I want to talk about. This is, like, a big thing, and that's my opinions on Rey. In this episode, I scored Ray before seeing the hot clothes, and then after I saw the hot, I, like, took away, like, four points. [01:34:00] Speaker A: Wow. [01:34:01] Speaker D: Because for the whole episode, I think Ray's pretty much without blame. Like, he opens up about something he did a long time ago. And, yeah, you shouldn't drink when you're not 21. But also, like, come on. [01:34:19] Speaker C: Yeah, you're supposed to deal with high school. How do you learn to drive? I got whiskey on you. [01:34:24] Speaker D: I'm not going to comment on that. [01:34:26] Speaker A: But I appreciate it. I'm very devout. I only drink Nas. [01:34:31] Speaker D: Of course you do, Frank. [01:34:32] Speaker C: I thought you were more fun than you was. More fun than that. [01:34:37] Speaker D: You remind me of someone. Know, that's what it is. But it was so long ago, and Ray's obviously fine, but just like the whole episode is just Marie being very passive aggressive towards him. And Rey does try to apologize and open a dialogue at certain points and just to no avail. And then at a certain point, he gives up. I can't even blame him. Of course. Then Marie kind of looks for the first Opening. She gets to kind of course correct her own mind and say, like, wait, here's an excuse as to why I don't have to be mad at Ray anymore. It actually wasn't his fault at all. It was all Robert's fault. And that makes sense because I hate Robert. Well, she doesn't hate him, but you know what I mean. [01:35:24] Speaker A: Now, what do you think? Do you think it actually was Robert's party, or she was just seizing on. [01:35:34] Speaker D: He was basking in the enjoyment, and he was thinking about the hypothetical of, would mom be as mean if it was my party? Know, she views me in a different way. So we opened up a hypothetical, and the second he know, let's just say it was my party. She jumped on that and said, here's my chance. I can forgive Ray without sacrificing my values. [01:36:00] Speaker A: So both of them completely throwing Robert under the bus. [01:36:05] Speaker D: Yeah. And I want to say, yeah, but. [01:36:08] Speaker C: I will say here, if I'm Ray and Mama comes in and says, Robert told me this, my thought isn't going to be, oh, I better screw over my brother. I'm going to say, oh, how sweet of Robert to throw himself under the bus so I can get back in Ma's good graces. I'm going to take his appreciation. I'm going to make it up to him later. I don't know if I 100% blame Ray as much as you are there. [01:36:29] Speaker A: Well, here's the thing about it. Marie comes in. Robert just told me that it was his party. The world makes sense again. You made up that whole story just to protect your brother. Ray takes the longest pause of all know. You see his eyes darting back and forth. You can almost see the devil and the angel on his shoulder. I'm very devout, and there you go. I think he reasoned through both scenarios. Robert sacrificing himself for me. Very sweet, wonderful. Or this is my chance. Fuck Robert. I apologize. I'm very devout Robert. I don't care about him at all. I'm going to take this opening to repair my relationship with my mother and have some really creepy vibes while I'm eating this cake. [01:37:17] Speaker D: Well, you know what? You guys haven't seen all the episodes. I have, but I think it's the latter. At least not entirely. But definitely part. Most of it is kind of. In that sense, it's not even like getting back to his mom's good graces. It's just like, let this hell end. Let's just get back to normalcy. And that's why I'm actually really mad at Ray, because he kind of perpetuates this cycle of toxicity in the family. Had a chance to open up that dialogue and say, like, no, Mom, I wasn't perfect, and we need to talk about it, and he just does not. [01:37:54] Speaker C: I would also say that keeps going. [01:37:55] Speaker D: The way it does. [01:37:56] Speaker C: I do got to say, I thought that the moment in which Marie comes back into the room and Robert just turns and hands her the cake, I thought that was the laugh. [01:38:07] Speaker A: I like that whole scene. Oh, Vice Mayor's coming over. Frank. Mr. Vice Mayor, this is Alex. He is going to be our mayor for the next couple of days. [01:38:20] Speaker C: Hello. [01:38:22] Speaker D: Hi, Frank. [01:38:23] Speaker C: Hello, Frank. You're here for the mayor position? [01:38:29] Speaker D: Yes, I got switched with Douglas for a few days. [01:38:33] Speaker A: We see that Frank. And in fact, all of these guys are wearing shorts, headband, wristbands, volleyball gear. [01:38:42] Speaker C: You are. [01:38:43] Speaker D: Nice attire. [01:38:45] Speaker C: You aren't volleyball ready, are you? [01:38:50] Speaker D: Not currently. I packed shorts in my packet by my. [01:38:56] Speaker C: Damn it. These people always do this to us. We put together the world's finest volleyball team, and yet they send us a mayor that don't know nothing about volleyball. [01:39:09] Speaker D: Well, I'm kind of tall. I could at least maybe stand in front of the court and just kind of take see. [01:39:15] Speaker A: I mean, let's see. Hit the button. [01:39:18] Speaker C: We need a blocker. Mayor Doug is the one that did a lot of the Blockman spiking, so we'll take that. [01:39:25] Speaker D: I could do that. Let's go to the court. [01:39:27] Speaker A: Hit the button. The other Frank. Mike's Frank hits the button. All of the aisles in the public's part, Red Sea, and there is a volleyball court back there. And there's also a team of Russians who are ready to take us.

[01:41:15] Speaker C: Geriatric bumps it. [01:41:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Everyone bumps it around the circle as they start their prayer. Luckily, this loud Randy from opening the. [01:41:27] Speaker C: See, we see Mike go up and smack that chicken ass down into the ground. [01:41:34] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Luckily, because the. We are not going to kill a chicken on this podcast. Luckily, because this was the orgy room, there's many pillows, so the chicken just bounces back up in the air and. [01:41:47] Speaker C: Then everybody gets a chance to spike it down. [01:41:49] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. Do the fucking prayer, Mike. Come on. [01:41:52] Speaker C: All right. We pray for flu, for Neuter's safe arrival. Man, they are in the sky. Do it good. Do it. Great. We love you. It's awesome. In the name of. The name of the plane and the cloud and the volley and the mayor. Amen. [01:42:10] Speaker A: Okay, that was it. [01:42:12] Speaker C: That's it. That's the prayer. That's it. Don't get. Hey, everybody, go. [01:42:19] Speaker D: Like a man. Flies through the ceiling. [01:42:21] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:42:22] Speaker D: And bounces off the orgy pillows. [01:42:25] Speaker A: Is that him, Mayor Flufer Neuter? [01:42:28] Speaker D: Oh, my goodness. Yeah, it is I, bald. Flufer neuter. What tremendous aim. I got tired of staying in the plane, so I jumped. [01:42:40] Speaker A: Wow. Incredible. An incredible volleyball gear, obviously. Beard, glasses, shorter length. [01:42:47] Speaker C: Chicken. [01:42:48] Speaker D: Hi, chicken. [01:42:50] Speaker A: Oh, wow. He's so kind to the chicken. Mike, maybe you've been Getting some of this wrong. [01:42:57] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm starting to think that that might be. I'm the assistant to you for your week here. [01:43:10] Speaker D: Oh, it is excellent to meet you, Michael. [01:43:13] Speaker C: Would you like beer? We have both alcoholic and non alcoholic and also many other various kinds of alcoholics. Well, actually, no, we only have the non alcoholic left. Beer Boy did consume most of the others. [01:43:27] Speaker A: Wait, beer boy's here? Wait, where? [01:43:30] Speaker C: You know beer boy? [01:43:31] Speaker D: I thought it was only a legend. Where. [01:43:37] Speaker A: Has he actually consumed everything? [01:43:39] Speaker C: Consumed all the beer? [01:43:41] Speaker D: Yeah, you hear, like the faint vacuum in the other room. Turn off. [01:43:48] Speaker A: You know what that means? He's going to be coming in here looking for more. [01:43:52] Speaker C: We should hide. [01:43:53] Speaker A: We should all hide. Everyone get under the very stained blankets and pillows. Let's hide, let's hide. Let's hide. Turn off the lights. [01:43:59] Speaker C: Wait, we forgot about. Forgot about. Lord Randy. Oh, shit. I'm going to get this combination eventually. How do you think to look in the upper deck of the toilet? [01:44:08] Speaker D: Oh, he found the box. [01:44:10] Speaker C: He found the box. [01:44:11] Speaker A: Wait, you know. [01:44:11] Speaker C: You don't know the box? [01:44:13] Speaker D: Alex and I are pen pals. We tell each other everything. I know where the box is and I know what's in it. You know what's in it, Adam? [01:44:21] Speaker A: I know what's in. That would be ridiculous. [01:44:24] Speaker D: No, but you do know, Adam. If it is open, what will happen? [01:44:28] Speaker A: Yes. [01:44:28] Speaker D: We can't let that happen. Not now. [01:44:30] Speaker A: Not now. Certainly not. Okay, I'm going to go. [01:44:35] Speaker C: We see loud Randy moving through the hallways. Slowly, box over his head, walks into the room celebrating. [01:44:43] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:44:46] Speaker A: Be quiet. [01:44:47] Speaker C: Get down, get down. Get down. Why? [01:44:49] Speaker D: I got the box. [01:44:50] Speaker C: We hear in the background. [01:44:51] Speaker A: I just don't. [01:44:54] Speaker D: What the heck is that? [01:44:55] Speaker C: Bear boy? We hear the vacuum sound. We see loud Randy start getting sucked in the Sriracha cupcake flies across the litch. Oh, no, there's not alcohol. [01:45:17] Speaker D: He lets go of the box, which just falls to the ground and he flies into. [01:45:23] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait. Beer boy just so loud Randy ate the cupcake. Beer boy just ate loud Randy. There's no alcohol in that cupcake, Mike. [01:45:34] Speaker C: Everybody hit the deck. [01:45:36] Speaker D: This beer boy will self destruct in fiVe. [01:45:40] Speaker A: Beer boy's a me. As that countdown is happening, I run up to Beer Boy, I take off his shirt, and I see that he is a drone sent here by the Heineken Na Corporation to encourage us to drink nonalcoholic beer. Oh, fuck. It was a trap. [01:45:58] Speaker C: Get the box. [01:45:59] Speaker A: Get the box. Get the box. [01:46:01] Speaker D: One and a half didn't explode. Maybe my timer. [01:46:07] Speaker C: We go to a wide shot of the house and we just, in dead silence, we see a mushroom cloud form going all the way up, all over Limbrook. It's all been destroyed. [01:46:21] Speaker D: Oh, goodness. I'm here for 30 seconds and the whole town hall blows up. Things like this don't happen every day, do they? [01:46:28] Speaker A: Not every day. Maybe once a week. [01:46:31] Speaker C: Mike emerges from the rubble. [01:46:33] Speaker D: Alex isn't going to be happy about this. [01:46:35] Speaker A: Mike, do another roll call. Who do we use? [01:46:40] Speaker C: Jerry Hatrick. [01:46:42] Speaker D: I'm alive. [01:46:44] Speaker A: Mixed blessing. [01:46:46] Speaker C: Matthew. I lost Matthew. [01:46:49] Speaker A: Okay, lost Matthew. [01:46:50] Speaker C: He's dead. Because canonically, someone died. [01:46:55] Speaker A: That is manslaughter, though, so you're still in the clear. [01:46:58] Speaker C: Technically, this is your fault, Jeffrey. [01:47:01] Speaker A: Yes. [01:47:03] Speaker C: Okay, Jeffrey's alive. Quiet Randy. [01:47:06] Speaker A: Yes. [01:47:07] Speaker C: Quiet Randy. [01:47:08] Speaker A: Yes. [01:47:09] Speaker D: Who's quiet Randy? [01:47:10] Speaker A: Yes. Hey, it speaks me and pushing large rubble off of myself. And I'm confident now. All it took was a near death experience, and I'm not going to take it anymore. Now, where's Loud Randy? [01:47:28] Speaker D: Oh, he's. [01:47:30] Speaker A: Well, I guess I'm not going to get my comeuppance then. [01:47:34] Speaker C: Well, you live. He's gone. [01:47:36] Speaker A: I guess so. [01:47:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:47:37] Speaker A: You know what? That's right. Thank you, Mike. Mike, do you want to go on a date with. [01:47:45] Speaker C: Not. That's not how I. Okay, you know what? I'm not doing anything. [01:47:53] Speaker A: Really? [01:47:53] Speaker C: Go. Let's do it. [01:47:54] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:47:55] Speaker C: Why? We can. We can make that work. That's great. By the way, is pretty Randy here? Mr. Because he's ugly? Oh, that's still offending. [01:48:12] Speaker A: Whoa. [01:48:13] Speaker C: Not a character. [01:48:14] Speaker A: Wait, wait. The force of the blast and the impact of all the rubble on his face has made pretty Randy pretty hot. [01:48:23] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Pretty Randy's hot? [01:48:25] Speaker A: He's actually hot now. [01:48:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, my God. [01:48:28] Speaker A: It's not an ironic nickname anymore. Wow. [01:48:33] Speaker C: Pretty Randy, do you want to come on a date with me and quiet Randy? [01:48:37] Speaker D: No, I have. [01:48:39] Speaker A: He can do better. [01:48:41] Speaker D: I can do better. [01:48:43] Speaker C: You did it. Awesome. I love it. [01:48:45] Speaker A: Oh, wow. This really is working out for who's left? Leon. Where's Leon? Oh, good good. [01:48:54] Speaker C: He's good. He's okay. [01:48:55] Speaker A: Leon smoking a huge doobie over there. [01:48:58] Speaker C: Oh, wow, look at him. All right. [01:49:00] Speaker A: Is that everyone? [01:49:02] Speaker C: Well, we had keg stand Quentin, but, I mean, he's still. He's still doing the keg stand over there. [01:49:08] Speaker A: Incredible. Yeah, this is a real sausage, huh? [01:49:11] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we had Meredith and Bertha, but we never really heard from know. [01:49:16] Speaker A: So we only lost one. That's good. Only one person died in the well and well. Loud Randy. Unfortunately, through no fault of ours, perished. [01:49:30] Speaker C: He didn't do nothing. He's gone now. [01:49:32] Speaker A: He had an allergic reaction, but we'll never. [01:49:35] Speaker C: I was wondering, how are we going to explain this to Alex when he gets. [01:49:39] Speaker A: Yeah, this is. I guess the town hall is, like, completely, huh? [01:49:43] Speaker D: Hey, man, that was such a great party. Don't worry about it, bros. We'll help you clean up. [01:49:49] Speaker A: Thanks, Jerry. [01:49:50] Speaker D: Let's get to work. [01:49:51] Speaker A: Let's all work together. Yeah. Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor, now that you're part of the town and everything and kind of. I mean, we could use this against you, so you kind of should help us. You want to pick up a hammer? [01:50:07] Speaker D: Let's get to it, everyone. [01:50:09] Speaker A: All right, freeze frame. [01:50:11] Speaker C: Go. We all jump. Yeah. Freeze frame. Roll the credits. [01:50:15] Speaker A: Okay, wait. Just got to hang up. One more oil painting. Alex at 270. Okay. Luckily, Haas Patch. Oh, we lost. Did we lose? [01:50:26] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, we didn't check in on Haas. Is Haas? [01:50:30] Speaker A: Never know. [01:50:31] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:50:32] Speaker A: Maybe we lost more people than we. Well, let's not never mention this again. Deal. [01:50:36] Speaker C: Too late now. Too late now. Yeah. [01:50:38] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, shit. Here he comes. He's coming up. [01:50:41] Speaker D: Honey, I'm home. [01:50:44] Speaker A: Just reading. Loot the free ads paper. [01:50:48] Speaker D: No, I don't care. It's going good. I had a weird couple of days, guys. And that's saying something, because we have very weird lives. [01:50:57] Speaker A: I don't know if I agree. [01:50:59] Speaker D: I am exhausted. My pilot, he was doing donuts while we were flying around, so it's just a whole thing. Everything here looks great, actually. Like, anything. Go on. While I was gone, how'd the episode Turn out? It was good. [01:51:17] Speaker A: Although we were missing a little bit. I mean, luckily, you're back in time before we need to put this out. [01:51:23] Speaker C: But we haven't done the barometer yet. [01:51:25] Speaker A: No. There's a couple more things that I specifically wanted to talk to you about, Alex, but couldn't reach you. Kept calling you. I guess you're in the sky still. Of course, two other things. So, the party. We've got two credited guest stars in the party. Flashback. We got Bradley Warden, who is credited as drunk kid. He's the one with lines wearing an equally ugly shirt, possibly more ugly than Ray. A few one episode guest starring roles in the on something called Annie Maguire for seven episodes, which was show in the late eighty s. It starred Mary Tyler Moore and also was an early role for Adrian Brody. Very difficult to parse what it's about. It seems to be like a family relationship. Dramedy didn't go too deep on that. But what's interesting about this guy Bradley is he started working as an editor in the early 2000s, got into editing and producing reality shows, including the Real Housewives of Orange county, guys, grocery games, and his longest gig is as the producer of restaurant Impossible. So an interesting career turn from being the guy who calls Ray Diz the whiz in this episode. Most interesting credit probably is that he was the assistant editor on something called Mel Gibson, the high octane birth of a superstar. I don't know. [01:52:49] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, I was going to ask, was it like a documentary? [01:52:53] Speaker A: I think it was like a video that came with something or it was completely unauthorized because it's not like Mel Gibson is in it. I looked at it. Not credited. But the other person on IMDb is Natalia Reagan, who is listed on IMDb as drunk girl, uncredited, who is very interesting. She is a true multi hyphenate. She had a couple of guest starring roles here and there, but is now an anthropologist and primatologist and correspondent on Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Star Talk. She's a podcast host, a writer, a comedian, et cetera. Like a very busy person. [01:53:34] Speaker C: Yeah, no kidding. That's fascinating. Good for her. [01:53:38] Speaker A: Very fascinating. [01:53:38] Speaker D: Super cool. [01:53:40] Speaker A: She hosted something on Spike TV called $10 million Bigfoot Bounty, where people were looking for big. [01:53:46] Speaker C: I mean, yeah, that's my next binge watch. [01:53:50] Speaker A: Pretty cool, but yeah, that's her. Can you imagine if Neil deGrasse Tyson listened to this show and told us about everything that we got wrong? Guy loves to tell people about things they got wrong, right? [01:54:05] Speaker C: Yeah. For one thing, there are several things we got wrong. For one thing, I do know that beer boys typically self destruct. Their self destruct system typically counts back from ten. [01:54:17] Speaker A: Oh God. [01:54:18] Speaker C: So he might get us on that. [01:54:19] Speaker A: One he is going to hit us up on. [01:54:21] Speaker D: No one would notice that. [01:54:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:54:23] Speaker A: Oh boy. [01:54:24] Speaker D: Who's beer boy? [01:54:26] Speaker C: You haven't heard of Beer boy? No. [01:54:29] Speaker A: What are you guys talking about? It's a. Don't worry about a Danish TV show that Mike is a big fan of. You don't need to hear about it. It's very filthy. Freebird. They got the rights to put Freebird. Not a sound alike. We had that one flashback in the car where it was clearly a sound alike of, like, the BGs or something, but this, they got Freebird. [01:54:54] Speaker C: They put it in straight up got Freebird. [01:54:56] Speaker A: Leonard Skinner. [01:54:58] Speaker C: Which is like, I don't know, there's just something so damn hilarious about, like, first of all, Ray's air guitar leaves a lot to be desired, but also just like, the idea of just going to a party, and it's just like, yeah, this is awesome. Freebird guitar solo is just so. [01:55:19] Speaker A: What's funny about the idea of playing Freebird at a party is that the first part of Freebird, notoriously very slow, is very slow. Not like a rager off the bat. You got to wait like six minutes before it really kicks in. So that's a little bit about the party. And finally, I just wanted to talk about. We didn't really talk about while you were gone, Alex, the scene where. So Ray comes over to make peace with Marie, and she reflexively almost hits him with a, hi, dear, are you hungry? But cuts herself off and just turns around back to the cake she was icing. Just kind of sad just to have it, like, smoking because she's upset that ray smoked. I also like the line where she asks, Ray, did you smoke? And Ray's like, smoke what? She's like, oh, my God. It is an important clarification, Ray trying to relate to Marie that Dad is a real jerk, that Deborah is a bad cook. And then Frank coming in and saying, beer me. Marie was. I was like, what the fuck is that about? That's not a. [01:56:25] Speaker C: That was a new one, right? I don't think. New one. Yeah. [01:56:29] Speaker D: I feel like they try a lot of potential catchphrases, and we don't really catch on to a lot of them. [01:56:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:56:35] Speaker C: The only one that. Holy crap. [01:56:37] Speaker A: Holy crap. Have you ever in your life, have you ever heard somebody ask someone else to beer them? [01:56:46] Speaker C: Only ironically. And the reference is to Andy from the office. Not like anything like genuine, because it. [01:56:55] Speaker A: Could be a reference to this. [01:56:57] Speaker C: It's not. But there's an episode where Jim and him are driving, and he's like, beer me a Pepsi is like, no, it's stupid cringe comedy. [01:57:11] Speaker A: But yeah, we should do an office podcast. There aren't enough of those. [01:57:15] Speaker C: I was going to say there are not enough Office rewatch podcasts. [01:57:19] Speaker D: We'll call it the office. The office. [01:57:22] Speaker A: According to our titling convention. Yes. When Robert comes in, he brings his laundry. One bag of it. Just socks and underwear. [01:57:33] Speaker D: Socks and underwear. And it's heavy. [01:57:35] Speaker A: I thought very funny that Marie made his favorite dish, which is steak and macaroni and cheese and ham Alfredo, which. Jesus Christ. [01:57:45] Speaker C: That sounds disgusting. [01:57:47] Speaker D: That sounds gross. But also, I'm kind of a little. [01:57:51] Speaker C: It. I would try it, but it sounds like there's too much going on there, man. [01:57:54] Speaker A: Here's something that I've had, is macaroni and cheese with spam. [01:57:59] Speaker D: I've heard about this. [01:58:00] Speaker A: That's okay, actually. That's all right. Here's the thing. Mixed meats, I'm not a huge fan of ever. I think it's a dangerous combination. Steak and ham. [01:58:11] Speaker C: You need a very specific meal. I'm not going to say it's never good. I can't think of any good examples of it off the top of my head. [01:58:17] Speaker A: Right. [01:58:17] Speaker C: But I don't know. I feel like you need something because I can't even, now that I'm thinking of it, chicken sandwich and a burger. You can't do that. [01:58:28] Speaker A: Imagine bun, one burger on each side of a chicken steak. [01:58:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:58:35] Speaker A: That's wrong. Asking Robert about how his day was and fake laughing at his paperwork anecdote. And Robert being like, what's going on? What are you going to bring? I like how he gets. What are you going to bring? Dad out. He's written a song about me. Very funny. [01:58:54] Speaker D: Robert clearly knows what's going on, and he's enjoying it because he never gets it. [01:58:58] Speaker A: Yeah. When Marie leaves and he's gloating to Ray, it was 75% to 25, and now it's the other way. Ray's like, what you got? [01:59:07] Speaker C: You got a pie chart? [01:59:08] Speaker A: No. Pie cake. Very funny. And then just the awkwardness of once Ray left. And Brad Garrett's physicality. Where'd you get it? Bloomingdale's. They got blouses now. Yeah. All types. Thought that was very. [01:59:28] Speaker D: Reminds me. It shows you that they probably don't ever just talk. [01:59:31] Speaker A: Well, yeah. When they finally get a little more animated. When they're talking about Rey, which is sad in a fundamental sense that they can. [01:59:43] Speaker D: That's why the show is called Everybody Loves Raymond. It's not because necessarily everyone loves him, but because everyone's world kind of revolves around him. [01:59:49] Speaker A: Exactly. In the show, that's everything that I wanted to bring up. Did you guys have anything that you wanted to bring up? [01:59:56] Speaker C: No, I wanted to talk about the foodie flakes, but we hit on that already. You're going to have to listen to the episode, Alex, because it was a great anecdote. It was a great little deep dive. [02:00:06] Speaker D: Listen to the whole episode and see what was up. [02:00:10] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [02:00:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:00:12] Speaker A: All right, so I guess there's only one thing to do, right? The barometer. [02:00:16] Speaker C: Right. [02:00:18] Speaker A: This has been one of our longest to record episodes, so we've never recorded an episode over the span of an. An entire week before. Crazy. [02:00:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. [02:00:28] Speaker A: Well, if we still remember, let's turn our attention to the classic barometer, which is scale from one to ten on which you rate Ray's performance as a husband, son, brother, father, partier, bottle cap into vent flicker, with ten Being the great dads of sitcom history. Carl Winslow, Danny Tanner, Uncle Phil. Mike. Give me another one. [02:00:51] Speaker C: Why can I not think of a single TV show? Let's go with Jim from the office. He was a dad at the end of it. [02:01:00] Speaker A: He was a dad at the end. Spoiler alert for the office. [02:01:04] Speaker C: I'm so sorry. Have you missed it? [02:01:07] Speaker A: Okay, Jim from the office. Good. And one being the bad men of television history. Men who actively harm their families. Walter White, Don Draper. Alex. Yes, a bad man from television. [02:01:21] Speaker D: Aren't we all bad men in our own. [02:01:24] Speaker A: No, hold on. You've given non answers three weeks in a row. I'm going to hold your feet to the fire on this. [02:01:34] Speaker D: What? My dad wasn't a good answer? [02:01:36] Speaker A: Your dad was a good answer, but for a good dad. And then you totally copped out previously. [02:01:43] Speaker D: Well, yeah, because I don't know. TV? [02:01:45] Speaker C: Go. [02:01:46] Speaker A: Movies. Go. Real life. I don't know. Movies, documentaries. [02:01:51] Speaker D: Who's a dad? [02:01:53] Speaker A: Scripted audio dramas. Who is a dad? Would it help if I said son as well? Because that is another one. We could go out into the sun. [02:02:04] Speaker D: It wouldn't think of a bad human. [02:02:06] Speaker C: Being that was on any show ever. [02:02:10] Speaker D: Gee, I don't know. [02:02:12] Speaker A: Husbands? No. [02:02:18] Speaker D: Hang on. [02:02:20] Speaker A: Partiers, beer, flicker, canner, venters. Feel free to pull up IMDb or. [02:02:37] Speaker D: No, no. We don't cheat in this house. Keep this in, Adam. [02:02:44] Speaker A: Maybe we'll see. [02:02:51] Speaker D: What about Randy Marsh from South Park? [02:02:53] Speaker A: Sure. Awesome. [02:02:55] Speaker C: All right, great. Take that. [02:02:57] Speaker A: Yes. All right, so those are our points, and we will go ahead and turn our attention to the ratings. How about somebody goes first, like Mike? [02:03:08] Speaker C: All right, this is an interesting episode. I think that I generally agree that Ray does nothing wrong in this episode up until he needs desperate approval from his mother, and then is a bad husband. And even then, he tries to make it up to his mom, which is. All right, cool. A good son move until he throws his brother under the bus. But even then, I don't 100% blame him. I think. I disagree with. Alex has already sent us his discussion with the Franks. So I know what was said there, but I don't think I 100% agree that this was all greedy. I think that there is a little bit of reasonable doubt. If this was a court of law, he would not be convicted. So I'm only going to knock him down, like, one or two points for that. I think I'm giving him a seven this episode. [02:03:56] Speaker A: What? [02:03:56] Speaker C: I think he did fine. Yeah. [02:03:58] Speaker A: All right, fine. [02:04:03] Speaker C: What are you going to give him if a seven is so egregious? [02:04:06] Speaker A: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to get. Oh, God, my Samsung watch is really blowing up here. Not related to anything. I need to go and settle some business with a building contractor who apparently has not received payment. I wonder what that could be about. [02:04:28] Speaker D: Building things. [02:04:29] Speaker A: I got to go. I'll be right back. All right. [02:04:33] Speaker C: Okay. We'll let Alex go in your stead. That's fine. [02:04:35] Speaker D: Well, I'll do it then. Well, I mentioned in my Frank discussion or my discussion with the Franks originally, I scored him and then I saw the hot close. I gave him an eight before the hot close came on. And after what he did in the hot close, I decided to take off four points and give him a four. [02:05:00] Speaker C: Whoa, that's a big dip. [02:05:02] Speaker D: It's a huge change because I think his choice in this last section was that important to the reasoning as to why this family is so dysfunctional, taking the easy way out, getting out of conflicts, both without having open like. Obviously it was very funny and obviously the episode was ending. But I think just this one choice is kind of like a summary of a bigger issue with this family. And I think Rey kind of letting it go is the easy thing to do. And I think it was obviously the wrong thing to couldn't. I couldn't give him, like, above average for ending like that, so I'm going to. [02:05:50] Speaker C: Fair enough. [02:05:51] Speaker A: I agree with that. Alex. [02:05:52] Speaker D: Holy crap. There's a man behind me. [02:05:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it's me. [02:05:56] Speaker D: Who's this? [02:05:57] Speaker A: Quiet Randy. [02:05:58] Speaker C: Oh, crap, it's quiet Randy. [02:06:00] Speaker D: Yeah, quiet Randy. [02:06:01] Speaker C: You're so quiet Randy. I thought that you were feeling better about yourself. What happened? [02:06:06] Speaker A: You're really going to ask me what happened, Mike? [02:06:09] Speaker C: Oh, don't do this. Come on. [02:06:11] Speaker A: Red lobster seven Thursday night. [02:06:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:06:15] Speaker A: No, I stood outside of that red lobster for 3 hours. Finally they came and swept me away so that they could close up. [02:06:29] Speaker C: I'm sorry, Randy, I forgot. You should have texted me or something. I don't know. [02:06:35] Speaker A: I did text you. I called you. I slid into your DMS, which is big for me. I've never done that before. I've never had the confidence. [02:06:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I don't look at my phone after work hours. I apologize. I feel really bad about this, Randy. I'm sorry. [02:06:54] Speaker A: You shouldn't. Because as I was leaving the Red lobster, I car pulled up, cool Corvette, pretty Randy took me home and, well, we shagged. [02:07:10] Speaker C: You fucked pretty Randy? [02:07:11] Speaker A: Shagged, please. [02:07:14] Speaker C: Shagged. I'm sorry. [02:07:15] Speaker D: Yeah, please, Mike. They made shag. [02:07:21] Speaker A: So. Look, I don't know how I feel about it, but I'm getting over you. I'm in the process, so I'm still a little. [02:07:30] Speaker D: Since you're here. [02:07:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [02:07:32] Speaker D: You want to throw your number on the barometer, man? I just met now. [02:07:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm quiet Randy. Nice to meet you, sir. [02:07:38] Speaker D: Nice to meet you, too. How'd you know Mike? [02:07:41] Speaker A: It is a long story. [02:07:43] Speaker D: I'll ask later. [02:07:44] Speaker A: We play volleyball together. [02:07:46] Speaker D: Oh, cool. [02:07:47] Speaker A: For me, it's not a long story. For me. I'm going to say Ray is coming in at about as much as I hate to agree with Mike right now. I'm agreeing and then going a little higher. I'm going with an eight. Because Ray did what he did for love. Not for the love of his wife, children who weren't in the episode, or brother or father. He did it for the love that is the most important love between a basket case of a man and someone else in his life, which is for the love of his mother. If I could give him a ten, I would. But unfortunately, he shared some of the cake with Robert, when really it should have all been for him. So that's how I feel. I'm regaining my confidence more and more. And you know what? Actually, I'm back. And fuck you, Mike. And I quit. And you know what? I'm going to set this place on fire and just fuck it. I'm gone. Goodbye forever. [02:08:53] Speaker D: Insured for fire? [02:08:55] Speaker C: We are? [02:08:56] Speaker D: Yeah. Since yesterday. Because. [02:08:59] Speaker C: Right. Yeah, I forgot about that. Okay, well, that was intense for me. [02:09:04] Speaker A: Hey, guys, I'm back. Everything fine? [02:09:09] Speaker C: You notice how cute, quiet Randy looks really nice, actually. [02:09:13] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he won cutest this year in the yearbook. In the town hall yearbook. Just cutest. Mike, I kind of had to. Look, I put down your credit card for the building supplies, so I hope that's going to be fine. I mean, look, the place wasn't insured. We have to pay out of pocket. Yeah, and it did, by the way, get denied. So I put it on a couple of your credit cards. Spread it out. I spread it out over Visa. Obviously, you don't have MasterCard. You have sub card. I don't know. [02:09:46] Speaker C: That's the one. [02:09:47] Speaker A: Yeah. And obviously American slow. [02:09:54] Speaker C: Which is the opposite. I got to go call some eggs. [02:09:59] Speaker A: All right, let's go. Okay, so what's the average of. What was the score? I assume you got someone else to. [02:10:04] Speaker C: Come in .3 overall. [02:10:06] Speaker A: A 6.3. Okay, that sounds actually. I mean, a little high, but mostly right for me. All right, look, I got to go. I got shit to deal with. Anything else that you guys want to talk about?
