Episode Transcript
[00:00:25] Speaker A: Shoot him.
[00:00:25] Speaker B: He's the fake Alex. No, he's the fake. Mike. You gotta trust me.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: I don't know. I need to.
[00:00:32] Speaker C: Okay, Mike, turn your hat around backwards, american sniper style, and just. Honestly, just go with your heart. After what we've been through today, go with your instinct. Go with your gut.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: I can't do this, Mike. If I, the real Alex, can say, I know you'll make the right choice, because you're a very wise, smart, and wonderful person.
Mike. I knew you'd know it was me.
[00:00:57] Speaker C: You were right. He's bleeding green.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: You killed the fake.
[00:01:02] Speaker C: Alex's blood is blue because he doesn't process oxygen in the same way as a regular person.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: Yeah, and after he drank the antifreeze.
[00:01:11] Speaker C: That time, and he hasn't frozen since.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: And I haven't needed a winter coat since.
[00:01:15] Speaker C: Amazing. Well, we solved the conflict that we've been working on for the past 90 minutes. I guess that's the end of the episode, right?
[00:01:25] Speaker A: Thanks, guys, so much for listening. Listen to the barrel.
[00:01:27] Speaker C: Do you have anything else you want to say about this dvd commentary of season three, episode 21, that we just covered?
[00:01:36] Speaker B: No.
[00:01:36] Speaker C: All right, well, that's it for us. I guess there's only one thing to say, right, Alex? Real Alex?
[00:01:41] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: It's our classic sign off every snutty.
[00:01:45] Speaker C: What the fuck?
[00:01:46] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry. I meant everybody loves Raymond.
[00:01:52] Speaker C: And we love you.
[00:01:56] Speaker B: I'm definitely not the fake. All right, bye.
[00:01:59] Speaker C: I think that was good, Alex.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: I was doing some trolling at the end.
[00:02:02] Speaker C: A little bit of. A bit. That was good.
[00:02:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Thanks for killing the doppelganger, though, Mike.
[00:02:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:07] Speaker C: No way to get in there.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: So it was time to. Time to. Yeah, I'm glad I got to shoot someone on one of these.
[00:02:14] Speaker C: Body count? One. Putting it down. Well, actually, seven from the earlier 90 minutes.
[00:02:21] Speaker A: All right.
[00:02:24] Speaker C: Put the gun back in the what?
[00:02:27] Speaker A: Guys, we got an issue here.
[00:02:28] Speaker C: What, were we recording in mp3 instead of wave?
[00:02:36] Speaker A: No, I think it was a combination of.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: Show is going to sound bad, but.
[00:02:41] Speaker A: Also, we didn't start recording until right before I made my choice as to who to shoot.
[00:02:47] Speaker C: What are you saying?
[00:02:48] Speaker A: Hannah bumped into it?
[00:02:50] Speaker C: We weren't recording at all.
[00:02:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I think what happened was that I left my shotgun on top of the gateway button. Yeah, the gateway. So I thought that I had hit it, but it didn't. And it didn't process until I grabbed the shotgun.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: I mean, Adam, we've talked about this already enough. But I think it's time for us to. Mike, we'd like to present you with this letter of delegation.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Delegation? I'm running for president.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: We are delegating you to start seeking employment elsewhere.
[00:03:27] Speaker C: Yes. You've been authorized to no longer work here anymore.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: Congratulations.
[00:03:33] Speaker C: Let me just sign that.
[00:03:34] Speaker A: Wait, no, hold on.
[00:03:35] Speaker C: That's my job this week.
[00:03:37] Speaker A: You can't do this. Wait. No, you guys can't fire me. You're fired.
[00:03:41] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: We're friends.
The audience is kind of tired of you.
They want a little more diversity in the show.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: You made that joke last week, Alex.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Oh, did I?
It's a funny joke.
[00:03:59] Speaker C: You're on thin ice.
Thin ice. I'll clean house. I don't care. That's my job. This week, I'm cleaning house. By which I mean I'm the janitor.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: He's the only one who knows the password to the podcast.
[00:04:12] Speaker A: Hold on. You can just change my job title again? If I was the bad recorder, bad editor, you could just make me something else.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Yeah, but it's just. This is the latest in a series of 22 jobs that you've been, honestly, really bad at.
[00:04:25] Speaker A: Name one other mistake I made.
[00:04:27] Speaker C: What, today?
[00:04:28] Speaker A: No. Anytime.
[00:04:31] Speaker C: Well, let's go with today. When you endorsed RFK Jr. He's on the podcast.
[00:04:38] Speaker A: He's got points. He's got a good point.
[00:04:42] Speaker C: He got points on you in the basketball game that you were playing with him. But he doesn't have good.
[00:04:47] Speaker A: We need a president that can dunk.
[00:04:49] Speaker C: By the way, that's going in the highlight reel of you getting dunked on by RFK Jr.
I did like what you did, though. When he jumped over you, Air Jordan style, you reached up with your syringe and gave him a quick fax.
[00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah, he did not like that one.
[00:05:05] Speaker C: But, hey, you were playing dirty for sure.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: Yeah, but listen. You mean. Okay, so I think it's illegal to ban people based on their politics. That's all I'm saying. I don't think that. That.
[00:05:16] Speaker C: We're not banning you based on your politics. We are firing you from your job, which you're bad at.
[00:05:24] Speaker A: Adam, you're going to regret this. You are going to regret this. I'm going to show you personally. Yeah. I'm going to leave here, and I'm going to do so much better than any of you ever did. I'm going to tell you right now, this podcast is entering a new debra of productivity, of hilarity, of Raymond Diddy. It's going to be great.
[00:05:44] Speaker C: Not even a portmanteau.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: Well, Mike, as per the rules of podcasting, if you manage to make a better episode than us, then we will bequeath the title of the show to, um.
[00:05:57] Speaker C: That's what we've always.
[00:05:59] Speaker B: We will take full custody of everybody loves. Everybody loves Raymond, as is our birthright as father and mother. Adam and I, that is.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: Yeah. I still have language in the contract, by the way. I don't really think that that's the proper title. All right, I'm going to go.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: Yeah, whatever.
Get out of here.
[00:06:20] Speaker A: Send me my severance.
[00:06:22] Speaker C: We'll see you in court. No.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: Owe me a severance check. You didn't.
[00:06:26] Speaker C: No, we're keeping it.
[00:06:28] Speaker A: No, my contract isn't up for another year.
[00:06:30] Speaker C: Contract? You mean that napkin? Yeah, I used it.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: It's fine. Mike, your severance check is in the mail.
[00:06:37] Speaker C: It's not in the mail. We don't even have stamps.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: This place sucks. All right?
These fucking guys, they don't even know. They don't know what they're missing.
This sucks.
All right.
[00:06:53] Speaker C: Are you getting on the bus, son?
[00:06:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess I am.
What line is this?
[00:07:03] Speaker C: This is seven a going between Limbrook and Rockville center. All.
[00:07:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah, that sounds good.
So how are you doing today, man?
[00:07:22] Speaker C: I'm fine.
Stand behind the yellow line, please. You're not supposed to talk to the driver.
If you're so interested in striking up a conversation, why don't you find someone else on the bus to talk to instead of me?
[00:07:35] Speaker A: But you're so lonely. You look like you're in that little box there all day.
[00:07:38] Speaker C: I'm in here so you don't hurt me.
I don't know you.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: What's going to stop you from hurting yourself?
[00:07:47] Speaker C: What the fuck? Go away. No, you know what? Fuck it.
Get off the goddamn bus. You didn't even pay, by the way.
You're fired from the bus. Get the fuck out of here.
[00:08:00] Speaker B: Yeah, get off, man.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: Who are you? You don't know me.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: I'm trying to start a new life.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: Any of you guys? Come on.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: You look like a walking don't fuck me sign.
[00:08:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: I listen to your show.
[00:08:16] Speaker C: We all listen.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah? You guys.
[00:08:19] Speaker C: The MTA plays it on all of the buses and trains.
[00:08:24] Speaker B: Kirby got fired, dumbass.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: How did that already? That happened 40 seconds ago. How'd you.
[00:08:30] Speaker C: They posted it right away.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Who are they replacing me with?
[00:08:34] Speaker B: They don't know. They're having a live stream for it.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: Do you guys want to get on an episode of a podcast where we talk about Raymond?
[00:08:41] Speaker B: Yeah. We're going to town hall. Right.
See ya.
[00:08:45] Speaker A: All right. Goodbye. Mike throws this little stick bag over his shoulder and starts walking again. This place sucks. I hate Lynbrook.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: I hate Lynbrook, too.
[00:08:57] Speaker A: The fuck? Who are you?
[00:08:58] Speaker B: I'm Danny the hater.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Dan, I didn't see you there. I didn't recognize you.
Why do you hate Lynbrook so much?
[00:09:09] Speaker B: Firstly, I used to be the comedic one around here, but then all these shenanigans popped up a couple of years ago, and now I can't get a funny in edgewise. I used to have a really cool routine about me picking up sticks. Yeah, not funny anymore.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: Picked up.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: Remember that? You were the don't care man headliner of the limbo improv.
Yeah, I've seen your act a few times.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: Yeah, you remember I used to be called Danny pickup sticks?
[00:09:45] Speaker A: I do now.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: I'm Danny the hater.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: I mean, I got to be honest, your pickup sticks, they weren't great bits.
[00:09:54] Speaker C: All right, fine. We cut to Danny doing his routine.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: Check it out. One stick.
Check it out. Another stick.
[00:10:07] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:10:07] Speaker A: Those guys. Danny, Danny.
[00:10:09] Speaker C: Do me. Do me.
[00:10:11] Speaker B: All right, check out.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: See that guy right there?
Look at me. Look at me.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: Look at me.
[00:10:18] Speaker A: Ready?
[00:10:19] Speaker B: One stick.
[00:10:23] Speaker A: Great. We cut back.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: Tip your waitress.
[00:10:33] Speaker A: Sorry. Hold on.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be doing that stupid show with those stupid people?
[00:10:39] Speaker A: I got fired, man. Just a second ago because I was the only one that was funny. They fired me because I was telling the truth. I was telling it like it is.
This is typical of them, Danny. These guys.
First they hate me because I wanted to find out the truth about the way the earth was, and they hated me for that. And that didn't go well. Then they hated me because I declared war on France, which also is another thing that. Hey, come on. Everybody's got to declare a war once in a while.
[00:11:08] Speaker B: You're going over the history that we all know.
[00:11:10] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, I know. And now I'm fired because I fucked up a recording and shot a guy that might have been a parasite. And I also endorsed RFK Jr. But that's a bad.
[00:11:26] Speaker B: It's like you're speaking my language, man. This is my life.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: But.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: Except replace what you're doing with pickup sticks, and that's just my life, man. And it's so Danny. I'm out here hating Danny. What's up, Mike?
[00:11:39] Speaker A: I got to ask you, you ever do a podcast?
[00:11:42] Speaker B: No, but I've done something similar.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: There were these sticks.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: And I picked them up.
[00:11:50] Speaker A: That's close enough. So, let me ask you okay.
Let's do a podcast together. Let's fucking do it, man. You and so this is going to get your career back on track. It's going to get Limbrook back on track, and I'm going to show those fuckers that I can do anything I can do anything they can do. You know, let's. Let's try.
[00:12:14] Speaker B: Do I just pick up this microphone like it's a stick?
[00:12:16] Speaker A: Yeah. That's exactly.
[00:12:20] Speaker B: One microphone.
[00:12:22] Speaker A: Thank you.
He's back on it. He's back on it. All right, so let's start with the summary of the episode. You've seen the one that's been playing.
[00:12:29] Speaker C: On the book all week. Excuse me. You're standing in front of my crossfit gym. Can you let me through? I got the big tire. I got to get through.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: Oh, Chris. Crossfit.
[00:12:40] Speaker C: That's right.
Yeah. I'm wearing my gym clothes backwards. Obviously. You knew it was me.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah. How's your dog, applesauce?
[00:12:49] Speaker C: Crisscross and applesauce are doing better than ever.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: I miss that little guy.
[00:12:55] Speaker C: So, listen, my protein powder and steroids are wearing off, so I kind of really got to get in there if I'm going to get my pump on. I got, like, three episodes of Rogan to get through, so it's good. It's good. Got RFK Jr. On.
[00:13:10] Speaker A: Oh, man, you're in for a great episode. That turned me around. I'm going to be.
[00:13:15] Speaker C: You like RFK Jr. Too?
[00:13:17] Speaker A: You know it, man. It's easy.
[00:13:18] Speaker C: Hell, yeah.
[00:13:19] Speaker A: Time for the Kennedys to get back on top. I really think this is their moment. This is their moment.
[00:13:23] Speaker C: Yes. And all the Kennedys are famously on board with RFK Jr. And they haven't denounced him at all.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Well, all the important ones are.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: That's might be a little too far, even for me.
[00:13:37] Speaker C: Chris Crossfit.
So what are we thinking? Moving or.
[00:13:42] Speaker B: Mike, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
[00:13:44] Speaker A: What are you thinking?
[00:13:45] Speaker B: I'm thinking maybe we ask Chris Cross if he wants.
[00:13:49] Speaker A: Hey, Chris, you ever wanted to be Rogan?
[00:13:55] Speaker C: I want to be Rogan every goddamn minute I'm alive.
[00:13:58] Speaker A: All right, so I got a proposition for you. We're starting.
[00:14:01] Speaker C: I've been shoving people's faces in worms for years trying to be Rogan. I don't know what he's done between fear factor and the present, but, yes, I do.
[00:14:14] Speaker A: I think you're 100% ready.
You know what?
We're starting a Rogan cast right now. You want to join?
[00:14:22] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:14:23] Speaker A: We got a microphone and all the elch meat that you can possibly fit in your mouth.
[00:14:27] Speaker C: Oh, my God. I don't know how I'm going to fit more in there than is currently in there right now, but it's worth a shot.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: Don't worry. We got all the zins that you could possibly want here, too.
[00:14:38] Speaker C: I might not know that one.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: You don't know zins? All right, Howard.
[00:14:42] Speaker C: Zinn.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Zinn. Z-Y-N.
No. It's a very popular nicotine gum that all the Jimbrows and frappuccino are chewing. Just get out of the car.
Fuck it, dude. You'll get the pump in later. You'll get the pump in as we're doing it. You could use this microphone as a weight, low weight, low weight, high reps.
[00:15:03] Speaker C: Can I have two microphones that I can hold and they got to be wired, and I can do the crossfit thing with the ropes with the two microphones, please?
[00:15:11] Speaker A: Absolutely. You can? Absolutely. All right, boys. All right.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: Whoa.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: Let's start.
[00:15:16] Speaker C: Let's start right now. All right, here we go, everybody.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: Welcome back to the real everybody loves everybody loves Raymond. We're here reviewing season three, episode 22, working girls, and we got our new podcast host, flesh leader Danny the Hater, right here. Danny, pick of sticks himself, who's going to give you the breakdown of that ep.
[00:15:41] Speaker B: Hey, check it out. I've got one episode.
[00:15:46] Speaker A: He's back, baby.
[00:15:47] Speaker C: Love that act.
[00:15:48] Speaker B: Danny's back, baby.
I can't believe it.
[00:15:52] Speaker C: I decided to divorce my wife at one of your shows. Ex wife.
[00:15:56] Speaker B: Oh, congratulations on dropping that sticky.
[00:16:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I know that. I know that lady. She had a stick up the rear, if you know what I'm saying.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: Hey, yo, that one was good, too.
[00:16:18] Speaker C: It was always so great to sit there when all the women in the audience would get up and leave. When you started calling them sticks, it felt really great to be a man at the Lynbrook improv when you would do know.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: That's kind of my thing. Sticks.
[00:16:38] Speaker C: Period. Came fast there. Sorry, Mike. Keep going.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: I was just going to say that's when Limbrook was great. That was awesome. That was awesome. All right, so what's the summary of this episode here?
[00:16:51] Speaker C: You didn't introduce me. Sorry.
[00:16:53] Speaker A: Oh, I'm sorry to be. I assumed that everybody knew you. The one, the only Chris crossfit over here is coming to join us, and he's going to give us some workout advice later in the episode. He's currently eating an ungodly, like, a Costco sized protein shake that's on the desk here. Can you tell us a little bit about that. How do you eat that whole thing in one day?
[00:17:20] Speaker C: I drink it.
[00:17:21] Speaker A: I understand. But I will say it does say protein shake on there, but that thing has to be at least, like 90% to 95% whey protein.
[00:17:29] Speaker C: It's a lot of grit. It's a lot of grit. Yeah, but you can't chew the grit. This is something I tell everyone in my classes. You can't chew the grit. It's terrible for your teeth. How are you going to be able to bite through chains if you know fucked up teeth? Sorry. Can we swear?
[00:17:48] Speaker A: Yeah. This is America. We can absolutely fucking swear.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: I bet the old hosts never let you swear.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: The old. Yeah, I bet they really, those woke liberal guys.
[00:18:03] Speaker C: Keep going. This is good.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: Danny, pickup sticks is not sure how this should be going, but okay.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Yeah, this guy's already doubting us.
[00:18:16] Speaker C: This guy hasn't taken the red pill yet. You know what I mean?
All right, I've taken all sorts of pills today, so sorry if I seem a little off.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: It's just you famously are constantly doing drugs. Well, specifically, steroids.
[00:18:33] Speaker C: Yeah. And speed.
[00:18:35] Speaker A: Are you joining the enhanced game, Chris? The enhanced games? Chris Crossfit.
[00:18:41] Speaker C: Yeah, I absolutely am. And I'm enhancing myself in more ways than one.
This is going to date this. Did you hear about how they put the first neuralink chip in someone's brain?
[00:18:55] Speaker A: I did see that, yeah. Is that you?
[00:18:57] Speaker C: Two thumbs. Sorry.
[00:18:59] Speaker A: This guy. I should have known. I should have known. You got that self driving look in your eyes, I believe. This is awesome. This is awesome.
[00:19:07] Speaker C: While my biceps are too big, I literally cannot be at ten and two, so I have to.
[00:19:15] Speaker A: All right, well, don't get me wrong.
[00:19:17] Speaker C: Did you introduce me?
[00:19:20] Speaker A: I feel like I have a couple at this point. Chris Crossfit. But it's okay. It's all right. So, anyway, back to what we were talking about. We're here not to break down anything like this. Yet. We're here to break down. Season three, Episode 22 of Everybody loves Raymond working girl Danny, what you got for us?
[00:19:39] Speaker B: Working girl. You see when Raymond comes home. No, that's not what happens.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Sorry.
[00:19:46] Speaker B: I'm thinking about pickup sticks again. So, Deborah.
Deborah wants to get a job. She wants to get a job in the city. And Raymond does not want to do that. Because much like pickup sticks, there are things around the house that have to be picked up. For example, one pan, if you would.
So Deborah gets a job and then immediately gets fired for not being creative or clever.
And then Raymond tries to be supportive in that profession. But as we know, Deborah deborahed herself out of a job.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Whoa.
[00:20:27] Speaker C: Deborah herself?
[00:20:29] Speaker B: I'm pretty good at this.
[00:20:30] Speaker A: You are. You're crushing it. I thought you had more to say, honestly. But that's great. You're doing good.
[00:20:35] Speaker B: Sorry, I'm new at this.
I'm a one line.
[00:20:39] Speaker C: Yeah, he did that from memory. He just stared off into the middle distance and recited us. I don't know why you pimped him out like that. You expected him, but he rose.
[00:20:49] Speaker B: One line jokes is what I'm good at when you make me do summaries. I panicked. We're also sitting out here doing a podcast on the sidewalk, and it's throwing me off my game.
[00:21:02] Speaker C: Yeah, Mike, I was going to say, I know I've been doing the ropes thing with the two microphones for a while. I could keep going, obviously, but do we maybe want to go to some sort of studio or something? Do you have a space?
[00:21:19] Speaker A: We could definitely do that. Yeah.
[00:21:21] Speaker C: And you'll edit all this part out, and then we can just pick up.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: Once we're at the actual.
It'll blow our listeners to mind when they see the change in audio quality. Yeah, no, we can definitely do that.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Well, Adam, it's time for us to interview our first person to replace Mike.
[00:21:38] Speaker C: Yeah, I think if we're going know keep the podcast, we kind of need to make sure that the quality is as good, if not better as it was. And I'm glad that we agreed the two of us cannot do that. So we agreed person.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: So, first on the list.
Oh, this should be interesting.
A real wise cracking nut job, as it says here on his resume. Someone who's probably going to be very different from Mike. Let's you and I welcome psych.
[00:22:13] Speaker C: Hi. Psych. Come on in. Have a seat.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: Hey, I'm here to order some Wendy's.
Psych. Hey, I'm here for the job interview, guys.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: He's funny.
[00:22:28] Speaker C: That's funny.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: Adam, can we hire him right now?
[00:22:33] Speaker C: We got to do our due diligence. We don't want to get sued again. We got to due process.
Have a seat. Have a seat. Yeah.
[00:22:42] Speaker A: Okay, I'll take it.
Picks up the chair and starts.
[00:22:46] Speaker C: Pick up the seat. Okay. That's good. It's a good your.
There's no other way to say it than ace Ventura costume.
You're really bringing the fun. It's great.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: Yeah, I try. I try.
[00:23:02] Speaker C: So if you don't want to sit down, that's fine. Tell us about yourself. Where are you from? What are your interests? What are your strengths, weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in five years that sort of.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: From. I'm actually from Moscow, Russia. Psych.
[00:23:31] Speaker C: Wow. Okay.
[00:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah, keep going.
[00:23:33] Speaker C: You just don't stop.
[00:23:34] Speaker A: No, not at all. Never stop. Never stop.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: My hands are raw and painful.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Mr. Psych. Then how about we start by. Let's pretend we're on an episode of everybody loves everybody loves Raymond. Right.
Know, once every hour we like to take a few minutes to talk about the actual episode. So why don't you tell us about some of your impressions about how you felt during this episode?
[00:24:01] Speaker C: Yeah, just to be clear, season three, episode 22, working girl. I know you got the packet, but. Yeah, just making sure.
[00:24:09] Speaker A: You know, the one that was on repeat outside. Right.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Are you backing up?
[00:24:14] Speaker A: Yeah, this is fine. Yeah, I'm good.
[00:24:19] Speaker C: That's incredible that it makes the sound when you back up. Are you the first person that got the neuralink in their brain?
[00:24:26] Speaker A: It was actually number three.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah, that's really serious.
[00:24:32] Speaker C: Your interest. Impression of the episode. Your impression of the episode.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: It was great. It was a. Come on, what are we doing here? It's awesome. It was a good episode. I thought that the.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: He's really struggling, Alex. It seems like he isn't going to reflect well. And now, sort of like, when we try to transition to the serious stuff, he sort of loses steam a little bit. Look, his ace Ventura quaff is deflating.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: I mean, that shoe looked tasty.
The shoe. The kid ate the shoe. It looked pretty good. It looked pretty good.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: I think that's good.
[00:25:24] Speaker C: He's really doubting himself. This is kind of hard to watch. He's flaming out in a big way. Maybe we should give him a more specific question.
[00:25:33] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I started him off on hard mode.
[00:25:36] Speaker C: Well, you started him off on an open ended question that most people could answer, but it seems like he's having a little bit of trouble with it.
Psych.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:49] Speaker C: Let me help you out here. Let me give you a more specific question.
I assume you've seen season three, episode 20. Season three, episode 21. The past couple of episodes. Doesn't it seem like Deborah has had rare for this show, like a little bit of a character arc going the past few episodes? I mean, season three, episode 20. Move over. We saw her intimacy issues with Ray, and then in the next episode, sort of feeling like the boring housewife, and now she's making this big change and getting a job. What do you think about that?
[00:26:25] Speaker A: I think she cried a lot. Yeah.
[00:26:31] Speaker C: Psych.
Did you watch the episode?
[00:26:36] Speaker A: I totally did.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: Well, this better be one of his classic bits.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: Psych. A.
[00:26:45] Speaker C: That saves it a little bit.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: Come on. I mean, it was a good episode. It was great. I read the spark notes.
[00:26:55] Speaker C: And I liked him, too. I liked him a lot.
[00:26:57] Speaker B: He was real fun and charming. But if you're not going to actually put in any work into this episode, should you really be here? Is the question.
[00:27:06] Speaker C: I mean, the bare minimum is watching 22 minutes of everybody loves Raymond.
[00:27:11] Speaker B: Absolutely. And it seems like he doesn't want to do that.
I'll tell you what. Psych. Yeah, you got the job.
[00:27:19] Speaker A: Hey.
Psych. Get the fuck out.
[00:27:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Fully turned around on you. We hate you now.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: All right, I'm going to make like a.
[00:27:29] Speaker C: Can you send out of here?
[00:27:31] Speaker A: Come on.
[00:27:32] Speaker C: Now. See, we don't even find that charming anymore.
[00:27:35] Speaker A: That was all right. Come on. Wasn't bad.
[00:27:37] Speaker C: Completely lost the room.
[00:27:39] Speaker A: Bye, guys.
[00:27:40] Speaker C: Fuck off. Can you send the next one in?
[00:27:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:43] Speaker C: Oh, this is nice. Mike, you let us into the room from the alley.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:51] Speaker C: And now we're here.
What would you call this space? How would you describe this?
[00:27:58] Speaker A: I would describe the space as a gorgeous basement that we can't be too loud in or it'll wake the neighbor.
[00:28:07] Speaker C: Sorry. In the neighboring basement or above us in the bedroom.
[00:28:14] Speaker A: Actually, they don't know we're here. Quite.
[00:28:16] Speaker C: This is one apartment. This isn't. Okay.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: Yeah, okay, listen.
My apartment. Actually, if I read the contract, the apartment was a portion of my paycheck, so when I lost my job, I kind of lost my apartment.
This is Mrs. Mifflin's apartment there. Yeah.
[00:28:41] Speaker C: So we're do. I'm sorry. Mrs. Mifflin knows you're here, right?
[00:28:48] Speaker A: We've talked.
[00:28:51] Speaker C: You've talked? Okay, so you know her, at least?
[00:28:54] Speaker A: I know her. I saw her at the grocery store.
[00:28:57] Speaker B: She's okay with us working in her apartment for our podcast.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: Excuse me. Yeah, she's fine.
[00:29:05] Speaker C: We just want to be sure because it is a studio.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I also dumped a bunch of coffee stirs and straws onto the floor.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:12] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I spilled all the oat milk everywhere.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: That's fine. I'll pick it up.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: Just one at a time.
[00:29:19] Speaker A: She won't notice. It's okay. Yeah, it's okay. Especially once we got Danny working it.
[00:29:25] Speaker C: And you're sure she's fine? She's sleeping behind that room, like, panel thing that people change sexily behind in.
She's.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: She's real.
[00:29:39] Speaker C: Hold on. Danny. Danny, check out Mrs. Mifflin. She just threw her robe over the room, dividing silhouette thing.
[00:29:48] Speaker B: And now is presumably.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: It'S a guy.
How are you guys in my apartment?
Oh, hi.
[00:30:01] Speaker C: Came out in just a towel from the bedroom.
[00:30:04] Speaker A: Hi, Mrs. Mifflin. What's going on? Oh, you're the podcast boy. I remember you from the dairy section.
You're a good one.
[00:30:16] Speaker C: Dairy's. Did Mike follow this woman home from the grocery store?
[00:30:22] Speaker A: Excuse me, sir, can you reach the fat free milk over there?
[00:30:30] Speaker C: I absolutely cannot, ma'am. I am only five one, and we have a policy here that you have to be between five two and six three to reach the milk. It's the NASA rule, as you know, astronauts have to be between five two and six three. So I'm going to ask this gentleman behind me here, sir, if you would take your head out of the. You've been in there for quite some time.
[00:30:54] Speaker A: What?
[00:30:55] Speaker C: Oh, got your head in the door of the cold case there.
[00:30:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I want to see what ice cream you got.
[00:31:02] Speaker C: This lovely woman here needs help reaching the milk, and obviously, as you can see, I'm only five one. NASA astronauts need to be between five two and six three. But you know, that's on the sign in front of the.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: Just here at NASA Mart.
[00:31:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I got you to where our prices are to the moon. I don't know if that slogan makes a ton of sense, but up out of this world, it's right there.
[00:31:30] Speaker A: Here you go, ma'am.
Thank you very much, sweetie. Oh, you're a cute one. I should take you home with me.
You take home?
Yeah. So, you remember, Mrs. Mifflin, when you said you could take me home? Now I'm here with. Great, huh?
Oh, yeah, I guess I kind of remember that. All right, you boys take care of their chocolate chip cookies in the cupboard over there.
[00:32:01] Speaker C: That's exciting. Are they keto?
[00:32:04] Speaker A: Absolutely. It's all I get. How am I?
[00:32:07] Speaker C: I thought I spotted a fellow keto adherent. You are, after all, yoked, Mrs. Mifflin.
[00:32:13] Speaker A: You know it, honey.
[00:32:16] Speaker C: Can we arm wrestle real quick? Yep. Game, game.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: Here we go.
[00:32:20] Speaker C: All right, let's clear off this little side table. By the way, beautiful little glass figurines on this. All right, ready?
[00:32:26] Speaker A: They were gifts from my great grandchildren.
[00:32:29] Speaker C: Great grandchildren. Wow. Those are the biceps of a.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: To. You know how to get them, Chris?
Let me just put my walker down over here.
[00:32:42] Speaker C: All right, here we go. Can somebody ref?
[00:32:46] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
3210.
[00:32:52] Speaker C: Jesus Christ, my shoulder.
Oh, gosh.
[00:32:56] Speaker A: Got to get better than that to beat me.
[00:33:01] Speaker C: Did you guys hear that big snap? I think it's dislocated.
[00:33:05] Speaker B: Here, let me pick it up off the floor.
[00:33:08] Speaker C: Oh. Popped right back in the sock. Jesus Christ.
[00:33:11] Speaker A: Wow. You got a talent there, Danny. That's great.
[00:33:15] Speaker C: That's incredible. Thank you.
[00:33:18] Speaker A: Got to get up real in them early in the morning to beat old Melinda Mifflin.
[00:33:25] Speaker C: I have to say, I'm deeply in love with you. All of a sudden. Melinda.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: I'm blushing. Stop it. You want to be my fourth husband?
[00:33:38] Speaker C: Fourth. Sequential or simultaneous?
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Mostly sequential.
There was a little bit of overlap in the last one, but he's not in the picture anymore.
[00:33:53] Speaker C: Okay. I like what I'm hearing.
I'll let you go back behind your.
[00:33:58] Speaker A: He died when he tried to spot me.
[00:34:08] Speaker C: That's a shame.
You hate when that happens. That's how I.
[00:34:12] Speaker A: So much you can do. Listen, I was kind after. After he collapsed, I put more weight on the bench to make him look like he was all good, but it.
[00:34:20] Speaker C: Didn'T save his ego.
[00:34:21] Speaker A: Yeah, as one does.
[00:34:25] Speaker C: Well, I've been thoroughly charmed by you. I'll let you go back to. We have to record a podcast, so I'll let you go back behind your curtain there. Oh, like Rogan?
Yes, exactly. Yes. Nice, Mike. Nudge, nudge.
[00:34:41] Speaker A: Hey, this is what I'm talking about.
RFK Jr. On this week, right?
[00:34:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Great. Listen, although he seems a little different.
Did you see that viral video of him getting. He dunked on that guy, and then he collapsed in pain or something and just hasn't really seemed the same since?
[00:35:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know what that's all about. Anyway, I like David Goggins more than him anyway, so. It's okay.
[00:35:07] Speaker C: Well, I'll let you get back behind you.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: Okay. I'm going to go back to knitting. Thanks, honey. So, boys, should we talk about the.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: To the. Let's get back to the podcast. Okay. Do you need to start the recording equipment? Beautiful gateway by the.
[00:35:24] Speaker A: Oh, no. We've been going for a while.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: What? Oh, fuck. My wife. Current is going to be pissed if she hears me flirting with Mrs. Mifflin. Please cut that out.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah, you got it. No problem. No problem. I would never do that to you. Or Krista.
[00:35:41] Speaker C: That's right. Krista Crossfit.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: Krista Crossfit.
[00:35:45] Speaker C: Krista Crossfit.
[00:35:47] Speaker A: All right, so, guys, I got to ask. All right, so in this episode, we had Deborah, and she was going back to work.
Do you guys have any. Your mothers. Does your wife or does anything like any woman in your life work? Is this a dual income, family podcast?
[00:36:09] Speaker C: I would say most of the women in my life as Chris work why shouldn't she? But like me and Krista, we're very egalitarian.
She makes more money than me, actually.
[00:36:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I can see that. Actually. It's very clear. Yeah.
Krista is a CEO, isn't she?
[00:36:34] Speaker C: Yeah. She's the CEO of. You ever hear of 24 hours fitness?
[00:36:38] Speaker A: Yes, that's right.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: She's the CEO of twelve hour fitness. They're open for half the time, but charge twice as much.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: Got you.
[00:36:45] Speaker C: It's a great model.
[00:36:47] Speaker B: That's impressive.
[00:36:48] Speaker C: Yeah, that's how we met, actually. She was doing a walk through one of the locations and I was benching. What was it, 800 pounds? Wow. I was going to do a commercial for Dodge trucks where I bench pressed a ram.
[00:37:02] Speaker B: Wait, so the commercial is for that? You avoid trucks?
[00:37:07] Speaker C: No. What do you mean? Hold on.
[00:37:09] Speaker A: What?
[00:37:09] Speaker B: You said you were going to dodge trucks.
[00:37:14] Speaker A: You still got it, Danny. Hey. There we go.
[00:37:18] Speaker C: You're right. It was a public service announcement.
[00:37:20] Speaker B: I picked that one up.
[00:37:23] Speaker A: I will say that it's interesting to me. This predicament is interesting to me because they make it very clear that it's not about the extra money, it's not that they need this for the house or for the relationship to be able to send the kids to college or anything like that, which is great for Ray, but. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. When I saw the title of this, I thought it was going to be motivated by trying to make ends meet. And it wasn't. It was just Deb wanted to get back at it.
[00:37:54] Speaker C: Yeah, I definitely know. When Ray was first, early on in the episode, resistant to the idea, I was worried it was going to be like, know, stay home and take care of the kids. Like, that's the wife's role. And it absolutely wasn't that it was Ray's reticence about her going out.
[00:38:15] Speaker A: It was that he was lazy as hell.
[00:38:17] Speaker C: Yeah, he's lazy.
[00:38:18] Speaker B: He doesn't want to work.
[00:38:19] Speaker C: He's lazy. And he's insecure about him being the great provider for his family, which I think is a misguided mindset. Like, if you can get two incomes in your household, that's fucking great.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: You are a prime minded man, Chris.
[00:38:40] Speaker C: Well, I mean, obviously, it's in my Twitter bio. Sorry, x.
I mean, x. I'm socially liberal, fiscally conservative.
[00:38:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Elon, fanboy, neuralink, man. I can't believe that the neuralink is letting you mess that one up. That's great.
[00:39:01] Speaker B: They're a fascinating young man, but, yeah.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: Socially liberal, fiscally conservative. I got. Okay, that's respectable.
[00:39:06] Speaker C: That's respectable, is it?
Some people might say it's fucking dumb.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
Not RFK Jr, though. We're all in favor of him.
[00:39:19] Speaker C: We love him.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: We love RFK Jr.
[00:39:23] Speaker C: He seemed a little off lately.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: I don't know. Something's weird about that guy.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: He looks good lately. Like, he looks better.
[00:39:33] Speaker A: Like he's been doing Crossfit, maybe like he's been doing.
[00:39:37] Speaker C: I don't know. I haven't seen him at the gym, and he is a member of the same gym as me.
Yeah. No, I think it's a misguided mindset to be like, oh, I have to provide for my family. But you got to thinking back to raised child, you don't think it was drilled into him by Frank from a very young age, like, the man provides and the woman takes care of the house.
It's not hard to see why he's internalized this.
[00:40:08] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:40:10] Speaker C: And I thought he did eventually come around and overcome that to a degree that is like 20% of him not wanting her to go to work, and 80% is he does not want to take care of his children or his house.
[00:40:26] Speaker A: 20% feels generous. It kind of felt to me like he was trying to come up with some sort of reason why he could be opposed to Deborah leaving so he could avoid the housework for sure. Yeah, I agree. To be perfectly honest, I don't even think he was threatened in his masculinity. I think he was just like, oh, damn it, I got to work. Let me come up with the reason why.
[00:40:50] Speaker B: I agree with Mike.
[00:40:52] Speaker A: Thank you, Danny. Thank you. I never hear that on the other podcast. This is great. I appreciate that.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:03] Speaker C: Can we stop down for a, uh, Danny, is everything okay?
[00:41:09] Speaker A: Even quiet?
[00:41:10] Speaker C: Well.
[00:41:13] Speaker B: Guys, to be honest, I feel a little overwhelmed. Like, I don't know if I belong here with you guys, because, you see, I've been sitting over here this whole time picking up sticks, and you guys have not been, oh, oh, is that.
[00:41:30] Speaker C: What you were doing?
[00:41:31] Speaker A: Sorry. I don't think I even noticed you. I'm sorry, Danny, you got to make your stick.
[00:41:36] Speaker C: No, that's pronounced. That's hilarious.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's great. It's good.
[00:41:42] Speaker B: You know, I want to talk about, you know, we got these things, know, jokes. I think this show would be better if we didn't talk about that stuff and instead focused on the commodity.
[00:41:58] Speaker A: Well, but the thing is, we got to talk a little bit about Raymond. It's kind of in the name of the show, and I think it's kind of hard to talk about him less than we currently are.
[00:42:14] Speaker B: I feel like we can find a way.
[00:42:16] Speaker A: You think?
[00:42:17] Speaker C: I don't know. Can I just say, I feel like, danny, if we were to transition solely to jokes because I'm not funny. I'll put that out right now. I've been told point blank to my face, I'm not funny.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: You're not funny.
[00:42:35] Speaker C: So if we. And it just happened again, who are you, my wife.
If we were to transition.
[00:42:42] Speaker B: That wasn't funny. I thought that was pretty funny, Mike, don't support this.
[00:42:49] Speaker C: If we were to transition to just comedy, I felt like, stick.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: Don't pick him up. I'm sorry. Continue.
[00:42:57] Speaker C: If we were to transition to just comedy and no talk of everybody loves Raymond, I feel like the show, instead of being 33% of each of us, would become at least 66% you, 33% Mike, and then 1% me. Mike, you are funny.
I've often thought that.
[00:43:20] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:43:20] Speaker C: I appreciate Chris funny looking. Right, Danny? Nudge, Mike.
[00:43:27] Speaker B: I think we should let Chris go.
[00:43:30] Speaker C: Chris is all I have.
[00:43:32] Speaker A: Chris is pulling his weight. I don't think that. I think that was a quick thing to let go. I don't know. How do I fire someone? Can I fire someone? I don't know about this, Danny. I don't know.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: Cut to crisscross. Starting his own everybody loves Raymond podcast.
[00:43:50] Speaker C: So I think.
Thank you for tuning in to everybody actually loves Raymond.
Everybody loves Raymond podcast for the fans, by the fans. And there's no dicks around. We're going to make it all about being funny and picking up sticks and fucking shit.
[00:44:12] Speaker A: You tell them, honey.
[00:44:14] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:44:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm Mrs. Mifflin, and I'm here to give you some advice on lifting while we watch the Rays.
[00:44:24] Speaker C: Yeah, this is Mrs. Mifflin. She and I are just friends, Krista, for now. And we're hosting this podcast together, and we're going to be talking about everybody loves Raymond, and we're going to be taking calls from people who want tips on lifting. So I guess let's go to the phones. Let's just go to the first.
[00:44:46] Speaker A: Oh, we got one already. We didn't even give the number to call, but all right.
[00:44:51] Speaker C: It's in the description.
[00:44:53] Speaker A: Hello, you're on Mifflin and Chris.
[00:44:56] Speaker B: Hello? Yes, is this.
[00:44:59] Speaker C: Hold on, caller. I thought we agreed Chris and Mifflin, not Mifflin and Chris.
[00:45:06] Speaker A: I'm sorry, sweetie. I always forget I'm 98 years old.
[00:45:12] Speaker C: Don't big time me. I already got pushed out of one podcast. I'm not playing second banana anymore.
[00:45:18] Speaker A: Okay, I'm sorry.
[00:45:19] Speaker C: Go ahead, caller.
[00:45:21] Speaker B: Yeah, hi, this is the mayor calling.
You are imparting on a copyright infringement on our show, and we're issuing a cease and desist on you immediately.
We will be contacting the authorities if your show is not off the air within the hour.
[00:45:38] Speaker A: You'll never take me alive, copper.
[00:45:42] Speaker B: Did she just die?
[00:45:44] Speaker C: Alex?
[00:45:44] Speaker B: Hello?
[00:45:45] Speaker C: What was that?
[00:45:47] Speaker B: Let's not worry about that, Adam. Let's bring in the next person.
[00:45:50] Speaker C: Okay? Yeah, go ahead.
Come on in.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: Hello.
Oh, hello. It's good to see you.
[00:45:58] Speaker C: This is promising. This is promising.
[00:46:00] Speaker B: Funny accent.
[00:46:02] Speaker A: Here's my resume. My name is Professor Pizza.
[00:46:06] Speaker C: This is a round resume. This is delightful and delicious. Sharp.
Wow. And all of his biographical details are in little pepperonos.
You went to the Sorban.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: I hope you had this memorized, because I ate all of this.
[00:46:23] Speaker C: You took a slice out of it while I was looking at it.
[00:46:26] Speaker B: No, it didn't say Sabarn. It said Sabaro.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: It didn't say Sorban. It said Sabaro.
[00:46:37] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:46:38] Speaker C: That's funny.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: All right, so you want somebody to be a part of the.
[00:46:46] Speaker B: Mr. Zah. Let me start off with my first concern.
[00:46:50] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:46:50] Speaker B: I feel like you would only really be relevant for this episode.
[00:46:54] Speaker A: What do you mean?
[00:46:55] Speaker B: How do you feel about that?
[00:46:56] Speaker A: What do you mean? I don't know what you mean.
[00:46:59] Speaker B: Did you watch this week's episode?
[00:47:01] Speaker A: Of course I did. And I got a shout out. It was great. Yeah.
[00:47:04] Speaker B: But I believe Pete Zah is not referred to ever again after this episode.
[00:47:10] Speaker A: I've been on this earth for 46 years.
[00:47:14] Speaker C: Where are you from?
[00:47:15] Speaker A: Podcast. Well, from Italy, of course. Get you after.
[00:47:20] Speaker C: You're not from Sweden.
[00:47:26] Speaker B: Are you lying to us to try and get on the show?
[00:47:29] Speaker C: Are you lying to us to try to get on the show? Are you actually swedish and you're pretending to be an italian pizza chef?
[00:47:38] Speaker A: I might have been born in Helsinki, but I'm.
[00:47:40] Speaker C: Helsinki is in Finland.
[00:47:42] Speaker A: Shut up. You guessed wrong. What do you want from me?
[00:47:46] Speaker C: Oh, sorry. You're finished.
Well, it's actually better that you're finished because you're finished here. Goodbye.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: I was going to say the same thing.
[00:47:55] Speaker A: He's learning.
[00:47:57] Speaker C: That's two finnish puns in a row. Back to back episodes.
[00:48:04] Speaker A: Adam.
[00:48:05] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:48:05] Speaker B: I think it's going to be harder to replace Mike than we thought because we're only getting bit characters.
[00:48:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:11] Speaker C: We need someone sustainable who can stay on the podcast for a while. Let's send the next one in so we can actually ask them, like, a question about the episode and get it, because I'm throwing that resume in the trash.
[00:48:22] Speaker B: This guy's name is just.
[00:48:25] Speaker A: Hi.
[00:48:26] Speaker B: I forgot to fill in his name.
[00:48:27] Speaker A: Hi, I'm Phil.
[00:48:29] Speaker C: Phil.
[00:48:30] Speaker B: Phil. Yeah.
[00:48:31] Speaker A: I'm not applying for the job. I'm here to give you guys a lawsuit.
I have a client that is suing you for. They rejected me because.
Think that's. So. Anyway, I'm just serving this to you. I think that I'll see you.
[00:48:49] Speaker B: Hang on, Phil. Hang on for a second.
[00:48:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:53] Speaker B: Did you see this episode of Everybody loves Raymond?
[00:48:56] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, what a great show.
[00:48:58] Speaker C: Great show. Right?
[00:48:59] Speaker B: Let's sit down and discuss this. Yeah. Here, let me take that. I'll put it over there.
[00:49:05] Speaker C: Just pointing out that these papers are, of course, round these subpoenas of pizza.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: Yeah, my client kind of insisted that it was.
[00:49:15] Speaker C: Yeah, let's not talk about your client.
[00:49:18] Speaker A: That's kind of what I'm.
[00:49:19] Speaker C: Let's talk about.
No, but I mean, you're off the clock. You've done your job. You've served us excellent service. By the way, though, there will be a tip. Little something for you on the table. After you.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: I've never been tipped before for giving somebody a lawsuit.
[00:49:32] Speaker C: I can imagine that maybe you wouldn't have been.
[00:49:35] Speaker A: All right, this is a great place. I'm going to serve you guys more often.
[00:49:38] Speaker C: All right, you saw the episode. Can I ask you what you think about how are you at keeping up with the dishes?
[00:49:49] Speaker A: Because I guess a moderate amount.
[00:49:54] Speaker C: My counters have looked a lot like rays before, but I've never resorted to hiding dishes. What's the worst your dishes have gotten?
[00:50:04] Speaker A: Well, no, me and my wife, we have a daily routine of after we can. Married? Yeah.
I'm a little offended that that was a little surprising to you.
[00:50:16] Speaker C: Sorry. That was an inquisitive. You're married. Not a surprised.
[00:50:22] Speaker A: You're married. Okay. Yeah.
[00:50:24] Speaker B: You are married. Tell us more.
[00:50:25] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah.
[00:50:27] Speaker C: We love hearing about people's wives and husbands.
[00:50:30] Speaker A: Okay, well, we come home every day and we have a celebratory dinner, and then we wash our dishes together. It's quite nice. So it's a nightly routine and it never really piles up. Too bad.
[00:50:42] Speaker C: Can I ask, what are you celebrating every day?
[00:50:45] Speaker A: All of the subpoenas that we file.
[00:50:48] Speaker C: Oh, she's in the business too?
[00:50:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:50] Speaker A: I do the lawsuits. She does the subpoenas. I shouldn't say the subpoenas we file.
[00:50:54] Speaker C: Well, that's fun. That's fun. Great for you.
[00:50:57] Speaker A: It's pretty good.
[00:50:59] Speaker C: Sorry.
You're mostly, like, serving people who are down on their luck hearing the worst news of their lives. Right. Being sued by someone with much more money than them.
[00:51:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that's it.
That's where the money is at. Yeah.
[00:51:16] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:51:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
The number of chicken nuggets we eat every night is determined by the number of people that we collectively made cry during the day.
If you guys could actually start crying because I'm a little hungry today.
[00:51:33] Speaker B: We're not going to do that.
[00:51:35] Speaker C: I'll give you one nugget. Boohoo.
[00:51:38] Speaker A: That counts. I'll take that.
[00:51:40] Speaker C: Vegetables. What, do you just eat chicken nuggets every night?
[00:51:46] Speaker A: Basically. What's the problem?
[00:51:48] Speaker C: No problem. Just wondering.
[00:51:50] Speaker A: Judgment coming from me. But I do have a.
[00:51:52] Speaker C: How are your bones?
[00:51:53] Speaker A: Okay?
They're great. Because we wash it down with milk every night.
[00:52:00] Speaker C: That sounds amazing.
[00:52:02] Speaker A: We got three things.
[00:52:04] Speaker C: Celebratory dinner. We're x number of chicken nuggets.
[00:52:13] Speaker A: We got x number of chicken nuggets. We got milk, we got ginger ale, and we got pink stuff. That's all we got.
[00:52:18] Speaker C: The pink stuff. I wanted to ask you about the pink stuff. By the way, did you notice no fluity flakes.
[00:52:25] Speaker A: No fluity flakes.
[00:52:26] Speaker C: No. We got post waffle crisp instead.
And Canada dry mentioned, but we didn't see it. What was the pink stuff? Did you recognize it?
[00:52:37] Speaker A: I didn't. My pink stuff is different. It's actually a great drink that you might be familiar with. It's called not Pepsi, it's Pepto Bismol. I don't know if you're familiar with that.
[00:52:48] Speaker C: Familiar with a pept?
[00:52:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:52:51] Speaker C: I only drink diet pepto.
[00:52:53] Speaker A: Yeah. No, it's good. You need to consume a lot of it when your diet is exclusively several chicken nuggets and milk. But it's a good beverage. It's great. Now, I do have a question, though. You brought up dishes earlier, and my thought was, okay, the dishes were all super.
You know, Deborah gets home and she starts cooking. So what made the dishes dirty? If Ray didn't Cook dinner, what made the dishes dirty? Where'd the dishes come?
[00:53:23] Speaker C: It is the. It's the same day, right?
[00:53:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's like the night. Yeah.
[00:53:28] Speaker B: What did he try to make? Lunch.
[00:53:30] Speaker A: You don't need that many dishes to make lunch.
[00:53:33] Speaker C: He had, like, casserole dishes and shit.
[00:53:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:36] Speaker B: There was stuff in the oven.
[00:53:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:53:40] Speaker B: That's an excellent point. What a really good insight, Phil.
[00:53:44] Speaker C: You are a great analyst of these episodes. Wow. Mike would never have noticed that. Yeah. What could he have even done?
This is blowing my mind because there were dishes like piled like 60 dishes on the counter.
[00:54:02] Speaker A: And also, now that I'm thinking about it, at the beginning of the scene, the kids had shit on their face. I'm sorry, I can curse on this, right?
[00:54:09] Speaker C: We're trying to get away from that. Our old co host, he had just the filthiest. I begged him to chew some orbit and clean it up, but he just had the dirtiest mouth.
[00:54:18] Speaker A: I'm sorry. Okay, so they had all this stuff on their fucking faces and I don't know where that all came.
If it's not food, I don't know where it all came from.
[00:54:30] Speaker C: Yeah, it raises more questions than it answers, really.
And what did he do to the pan? First of all, these people never heard of non stick.
I got some infomercials I could show them because, Jesus Christ, I've never seen a pan like that.
[00:54:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that's destroyed.
[00:54:54] Speaker C: It was ruined.
At first I thought it was a nonstick pan that he had somehow like scraped the non stick off, but then I realized the black stuff was burned and not the other way around.
[00:55:10] Speaker A: Sorry, I was just going to say it doesn't make any sense to me. It just doesn't make any sense.
[00:55:17] Speaker C: It's a real goof. Should we submit it to IMDb? This is the test. Because if he says yes, then that means he cares too much about everybody left.
[00:55:26] Speaker A: Raymond, what's IMDb?
[00:55:27] Speaker B: We can't have two people like that.
[00:55:29] Speaker C: What's IMDb?
[00:55:31] Speaker B: I like this, actually. I think this is a good development.
[00:55:34] Speaker A: I'm not good with that.
[00:55:36] Speaker B: I think we should move him along.
[00:55:37] Speaker C: I think we should tell him next round.
[00:55:40] Speaker B: I think we should put him in the next round if he agrees to drop the suit.
[00:55:43] Speaker C: Okay.
I don't know if you knew this when you came in here, but we're interviewing someone to. Come on. Everybody loves, everybody loves Raymond as our.
[00:55:52] Speaker A: You put up several billboards around the city and as though it was caution tape.
[00:55:56] Speaker C: Yeah. On the mural here.
[00:55:58] Speaker A: Yeah, we work fast.
[00:56:01] Speaker C: So, good news, you're moving on to the next round of interviews.
[00:56:06] Speaker A: Oh, I'm being interviewed? Ok, great. Yeah. I thought I was the blandest man in America, but I'll take that.
[00:56:13] Speaker C: You may be bland, but we need you to balance out our wacky energies.
[00:56:17] Speaker B: Gotcha.
[00:56:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: You actually fit very comfortably.
[00:56:21] Speaker C: So much better than Mike from the just.
Mike was just never good, right?
[00:56:29] Speaker B: He was always too.
What's the word?
[00:56:33] Speaker C: Mike.
[00:56:34] Speaker B: I was going to say Mike. Yeah.
[00:56:36] Speaker A: So do I get the job. So, Danny, we got rid of Chris. Is there anything you want to bring up now that you don't feel threatened? That he's mean?
[00:56:47] Speaker B: I think we could take a long time going over how Marie is being so just, like, super manipulative again of Debra in multiple ways this episode. You're a smart guy, nothing new. But when you pick up sticks, as long as I have, you pick up more than just sticks.
[00:57:12] Speaker A: I didn't think Marie was being manipulative. I thought she was just being an asshole. I thought that she was just kind of a piece of shit to.
[00:57:23] Speaker B: Know. That's some good insight.
[00:57:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I see your point. She's not manipulative. She just is like, oh, you're a bad mother. She just makes passive aggressive comments to.
[00:57:34] Speaker B: That's. Yeah, fair enough.
What even was I thinking?
[00:57:39] Speaker A: I don't know. That's kind of what I'm asking.
[00:57:41] Speaker B: She has no ulterior motive here. She's just a huge piece of shit.
[00:57:47] Speaker A: Are you mad at me for suggesting. For giving my. Then hold on. Okay, stop recording.
[00:57:52] Speaker C: Diegetically, this has been playing on a radio, and Mike is in the SiriusXM offices. Mike and Danny are sitting across from Sirius XM executives.
It's a good.
[00:58:08] Speaker A: I know, I know it's a good idea.
[00:58:10] Speaker B: Yes, it's a great idea.
[00:58:12] Speaker C: A podcast about everybody loves Raymond.
[00:58:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:58:15] Speaker C: Fantastic. I mean, we're looking to expand our slate of programming. This would be a great fit. It would go right along with the office ladies. Not exactly the same thing, because you said you guys worked on everybody loves Raymond, right?
[00:58:31] Speaker A: No, we worked on a podcast about everybody loves Raymond.
[00:58:35] Speaker B: Yes, well, one of us did.
[00:58:39] Speaker C: Okay, we can talk about that. Just the dynamic between you two seems a little. There's no other word for it, but combative.
Am I picking up on that correctly? Julie, did you pick up this guy's ass?
[00:58:55] Speaker B: Let's pick up his bones.
[00:58:57] Speaker C: All the serious XM executives stand up. And one of them's got nunchucks and one of them's got, like, chains. Okay, all right, everyone. Everyone calm down.
[00:59:06] Speaker A: Shit, they came ready?
[00:59:07] Speaker C: This is not our first. Hey, we've had Howard in here.
Yeah, this is not our first rodeo. Kevin Hart. After Kevin Hart kicked our asses, we said never again. So let's all calm down. Let's sit down. I was going to say. All right, Mike, let's sit down. On the count of three, two, one. Okay, you're still standing.
[00:59:34] Speaker A: I'm still standing. I don't trust.
[00:59:36] Speaker C: Who is this guy? Elton John? Oh, my God.
[00:59:39] Speaker A: Hey, you're funny.
[00:59:41] Speaker B: Yo, Mike, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
[00:59:43] Speaker A: What? You're thinking what? You want a job on this podcast?
How much is Sirius paying you?
[00:59:52] Speaker C: Just enough to afford Sirius. So $55,000 a year.
[00:59:57] Speaker A: We'll pay you half of that. All right.
[00:59:59] Speaker C: Sounds like a pretty good deal. And would I have to pay for Sirius?
[01:00:02] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:00:04] Speaker C: Okay.
Are you sure?
[01:00:07] Speaker A: Is that a deal breaker? Is that a deal?
[01:00:09] Speaker C: Well, it's just I.
[01:00:10] Speaker A: If I pay Sirius, will you come and work with us?
[01:00:14] Speaker C: You can pay for Sirius. You can afford Sirius XM in the car?
[01:00:19] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. Why not? Wow. Can't be that much.
[01:00:22] Speaker B: Damn.
[01:00:23] Speaker C: Well, my kids are going to be so glad that they can have bread.
[01:00:28] Speaker A: What's your name?
[01:00:29] Speaker C: My name is Lewis Garfunkel, and I'm the head of comedy at SiriusXM.
[01:00:40] Speaker A: Excellent, Lewis. All right, so. All right. Hey, guys. With all those scary weapons pointing at you, you guys can fuck right off. We're going to record an episode right now.
[01:00:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I think I'm going to take this offer. If you guys can just send me my severance, that would be great.
[01:01:00] Speaker A: Lewis, you want a pickaxe? Just as, like, self defense here.
As a parting gift, I'm going to leave this pickaxe.
[01:01:08] Speaker C: Thanks, guys. That really means a on.
[01:01:11] Speaker A: Come on, bro. Let's go eat elk.
Elk.
Rogan's got JFK on this week.
[01:01:19] Speaker C: JFK.
[01:01:20] Speaker A: Hey, bro, I'm back. It's great. It's going to be good.
It's good.
[01:01:26] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:01:27] Speaker A: So, okay, so, all right, so you said that we're being combative, but it was basically an argument about Marie. What's your weighing in on this?
[01:01:36] Speaker C: I just thought it was typical Marie, passive aggressive. But I can also see how it might come across as manipulative, effectively suggesting you shouldn't go work because you should be at home taking care of the kids. So I think it's manipulation from that standpoint for sure.
[01:01:54] Speaker A: Thank you. That's fair.
[01:01:55] Speaker B: I feel better.
[01:01:56] Speaker C: You're welcome. I do want to point out Conan is coming in here in a little bit.
[01:02:02] Speaker B: Dude's like a living pickup.
[01:02:04] Speaker C: Stick it.
[01:02:06] Speaker B: I admire.
[01:02:07] Speaker A: That's one way to think about him. Yeah.
[01:02:10] Speaker C: He comes in here and he just lays on the conference table, arms and legs straight like a pencil.
[01:02:17] Speaker B: Pick him up.
[01:02:19] Speaker C: We should probably just clear out the equipment, and there's a studio down the hall if we want to go to that. We flash forward to a little while later. Danny pokes his head back in the conference room, and he sees Conan sleeping in the dark.
[01:02:38] Speaker B: My time has come.
Danny. Danny. Like Lion Kings Conan.
Well, Adam, it's. What have we had, like, 20 interviews so far?
[01:02:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:02:55] Speaker B: Phil aside, I'm not feeling any of them.
[01:02:59] Speaker C: We have one more coming in, and then if we don't like him, then we'll just. I mean, Phil's the only one who made it to the second round, so I guess we just go with him.
Come in.
[01:03:11] Speaker A: Hey, guys. How you doing? My name's Al, and I'm the next podcast host. This is great.
[01:03:16] Speaker B: Nice to be Al, but hang on, I don't like this.
[01:03:19] Speaker C: No, it's a third a. It's great.
[01:03:22] Speaker B: But, like, I'm Alex.
[01:03:25] Speaker C: Yeah, but you can change your name.
[01:03:27] Speaker B: Isn't that a little close?
[01:03:28] Speaker C: What's Al short for?
[01:03:31] Speaker A: Al is short for Al you doing?
[01:03:35] Speaker C: Is that a I like it or is that real?
[01:03:39] Speaker A: Well, it's both.
[01:03:41] Speaker C: Oh, your parents are fun.
[01:03:43] Speaker A: My name is Al you doing? But it's a fun. It's based on the thing.
[01:03:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:49] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:03:49] Speaker C: Your last name is. Sorry. Your last name is you doing?
[01:03:53] Speaker A: My last name is you doing. Yeah.
[01:03:55] Speaker C: Don't you think you might be better on, like, a friends podcast?
I guess then you'd be al you doing, like Joey.
[01:04:04] Speaker A: Oh, I see what you're saying. No, I don't like friends.
[01:04:07] Speaker C: No pivot.
[01:04:08] Speaker A: Come on, snow.
[01:04:09] Speaker B: Friends.
[01:04:10] Speaker C: Okay, all right, okay, all right.
[01:04:13] Speaker A: I'm here to talk. I'm here to talk.
[01:04:14] Speaker C: Wow.
Okay, here's a question for you. Cool.
[01:04:18] Speaker A: Hit me.
[01:04:20] Speaker C: Is Pete Zah really any better than any other pizza mascot? The noid? Little Caesar pizza. Craig Robinson. Well, you guys did that at the exact same time.
[01:04:33] Speaker B: That's law.
[01:04:34] Speaker C: That was.
[01:04:34] Speaker A: You got to do it. You bring up a little caesars, you got a pizza. Pizza.
[01:04:38] Speaker C: It's electric in here. Is really that crazy pizza.
[01:04:44] Speaker A: All right, listen. Okay, let's back it up here. First of all, I met a swedish guy outside. Awesome guy. You should have him on the podcast. That's all I'm saying.
[01:04:52] Speaker C: He's finished, actually.
[01:04:53] Speaker A: He's what?
[01:04:54] Speaker B: Yeah, he is finished. He's finished. We kicked him out.
[01:05:00] Speaker A: Well, regardless, I don't know. I thought it was pretty good. All right, but my second point. My second point is I think that pizza was actually quite cute. I think he was great. I don't understand why this lady was so fixated on getting him off of the programming. I think he would have done numbers, if I'm being honest.
[01:05:20] Speaker B: How'd you feel about the mozzarella hat?
[01:05:24] Speaker C: I think it clearly wasn't clear enough that it was a hat and not his hair.
[01:05:30] Speaker A: That's a problem. You can work that on the design stage.
[01:05:32] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not like Deborah was saying, here it is, it's done. Like it's starting a conversation.
[01:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah, this lady was real quick to fire her, even if she was being stubborn.
[01:05:43] Speaker C: I don't know.
[01:05:44] Speaker B: Here's my thought.
[01:05:45] Speaker C: Go ahead, Alex.
[01:05:46] Speaker A: Right.
[01:05:48] Speaker B: In the design world, right. If you're not willing to talk and compromise, you're not going to get anything done. Right? So if Deborah comes at this saying, this is putting all her eggs in this basket, and then.
What was her name? Charlotte.
[01:06:04] Speaker C: Charlotte Sterling.
[01:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Gives a couple of thoughts about, like, oh, this may not be the direction our client wants to go in. And then she doubles down on, like, on day one, acting like she knows better than the person who hires her. I can see how that would come off as, like, maybe you're not the person who's right for this job. Allie liked know.
[01:06:27] Speaker C: Yeah, but Ali's six, as Ray says, and Deborah says she's the only person I have to run things by. And then Ray says, you can run things by me. And Debra says.
[01:06:39] Speaker A: That was a great Deborah impression.
[01:06:40] Speaker B: I don't know how, because Ray does not enjoy getting things run by him.
[01:06:44] Speaker C: I agree with you. I think it depends on how there's a line between advocating for your idea and then just stubbornly refusing to let it go. And I think clearly Deborah crossed that.
[01:07:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:07:02] Speaker B: No, I think the moral of this episode is that you should not let.
If someone proves to you that they cannot be worked with or reasoned with, they should just be let go entirely. And even if they're your lifelong friend, you got to tell them, like, hit the road. You made one mistake, and now we're going to hire a random person to fill the void left in our mic shaped hearts. And that's what this episode of everybody loves Raymond was trying to tell me.
[01:07:40] Speaker A: I don't know what the mic guy is about, but that reminded me of my logic when I divorced my ex wife. Hey, how are you doing?
[01:07:46] Speaker C: Oh, were you married?
[01:07:48] Speaker A: Yeah, her name was Mifflin.
[01:07:53] Speaker B: I know her.
[01:07:55] Speaker C: You do?
[01:07:56] Speaker B: Yeah, she won the bodybuilding contest at town hall yesterday.
[01:08:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, we did do 90 minutes about that just recently.
[01:08:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
Not the barone, but, like, the double barone, which is so secretive that no one knows.
[01:08:15] Speaker C: The Barone fans?
[01:08:17] Speaker B: Yes, the Barone fans.
[01:08:19] Speaker C: So how'd that end?
How'd that end between.
[01:08:24] Speaker A: Well, not well. She took everything.
[01:08:26] Speaker C: And I don't even took everything.
[01:08:28] Speaker A: She took everything.
The judge looked at me and he said, hey, how are you doing? I said, hey, how are you doing? And he said, I didn't like that. And he took away everything I own.
[01:08:38] Speaker C: He took away everything you own?
[01:08:40] Speaker B: Bringing nothing to his show.
[01:08:42] Speaker A: He took away my house, took away my job, took away my car.
[01:08:45] Speaker C: I didn't want to mention it, but you did come in here in a barrel with suspenders.
[01:08:50] Speaker A: Yeah. I would appreciate you not noticing. I'm trying to own it, but it's not going to.
[01:08:56] Speaker B: Do you have a permit? To operate in a barrel to what?
[01:09:00] Speaker C: Yeah, if you don't have a permit. Indecent exposure.
[01:09:03] Speaker A: If you don't. I would disagree with that notion.
[01:09:06] Speaker C: If you do have a permit, it's decent exposure.
[01:09:09] Speaker A: If I could sign something right now.
Wait, actually, you're the mayor. Could you give me a permit to wear a barrel?
[01:09:17] Speaker B: No, I can't do that. I can't just make up rules. I just think of them and write them down.
[01:09:22] Speaker A: Well, could you write one down right now?
[01:09:25] Speaker B: No.
My pens out of ink.
[01:09:28] Speaker A: Here's my barrel.
[01:09:30] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
Look at the.
[01:09:33] Speaker B: You should go on.
[01:09:34] Speaker C: Barone fan this guy. What is this, a crossfit? Gym with the rope interview.
[01:09:41] Speaker A: This is a job interview? I don't know about this. Come on, come on.
[01:09:44] Speaker C: Why do you have two?
[01:09:46] Speaker A: It's a really personal question.
[01:09:49] Speaker C: I'm sorry, Al.
[01:09:53] Speaker A: That's me.
Sit down, baby.
[01:09:57] Speaker C: Yeah, that's taking on a more sinister tone. Now that you're nude, we'll let you stay and we won't send you to jail for flashing us. If you can answer another question.
Debra gets a job at the Charlotte Sterling agency, right? Yeah, the Charlotte Sterling agency. The ad agency in Mad Men is called Sterling Cooper. Coincidence.
[01:10:34] Speaker A: Isn't Mad Men, like, 40 years later?
[01:10:39] Speaker C: Technically, it's before this.
[01:10:42] Speaker A: Is there a large known ad agency named Sterling that both of them are playing off of?
[01:10:49] Speaker C: I don't think so. I think the creators of Mad Men were probably inspired by this episode. And Mad Men, therefore, is in the Raymond verse dong.
[01:11:00] Speaker A: That's really interesting. What is your interpretation of this Charlotte Sterling broad?
[01:11:05] Speaker C: I'm sorry, I got a pushback. You can't call her abroad.
[01:11:11] Speaker A: Why not?
[01:11:12] Speaker C: The term we use is sticks.
[01:11:16] Speaker A: Ok. What do you think of the Charlotte Sterling?
[01:11:19] Speaker C: I don't know. It's just been in the zeitgeist.
It's going viral. I think she seems like she's having a rough time keeping people employed.
So you got to wonder, is it Deborah or is it her? Did she maybe not give Deborah clear instructions? And that's why Deborah created Pete Zah.
[01:11:46] Speaker A: Because she down to Pete Zah, man.
[01:11:48] Speaker B: I think what happened was, again, I think it was really like, not even just the idea of Deborah presenting pizza, but how she reacted when she was told that that was not a good idea for this particular mean. Charlie came across as like, I think, a reasonable person who is overworked and is working an agency that should have at least two people working at, you know, is why she was hiring.
Maybe. I guess maybe she should have given it maybe a couple more days, right? With Debra.
[01:12:29] Speaker C: Yeah. But I just think if she doesn't have all the help she needs. Is she giving Debra everything that Debra needs to do a good job?
I understand Deborah fucked up, but what's the antecedent of that?
Was Debra set up for success or set up for failure through no fault of Charlotte's?
[01:12:53] Speaker A: But I got a thought here. What do we think about.
I got a thought here. What do we think about the receptionist taking all these mental health days? Was that supposed to be a joke? Or was that a signal that this stick is driving her crazy?
[01:13:07] Speaker C: I think mental health days in the 90s were a joke.
[01:13:12] Speaker A: There wasn't half track after they said mental health day.
[01:13:16] Speaker C: But maybe it was like mental health day. Right? And people in the audience were like, I'm nodding. People in the audience were just like, nodding.
[01:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so again, you got a terrible receptionist. Or is it that the boss is a little nutty?
[01:13:36] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I guess that's another way to interpret it, is that she's taking a mental health day from.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think if you find your receptionist is taking a lot of mental health days. By the way, Alex, I haven't seen Clark out there for a while.
[01:13:57] Speaker B: He's taking a mental health month. I talked about it with him two months ago.
[01:14:01] Speaker C: Oh, wow. Okay. But that would mean he hasn't been here for two months. So that would mean a mental health. Two months, three months.
[01:14:11] Speaker B: I was going to talk to him about it when he got back, but he's still gone.
[01:14:15] Speaker C: Yeah.
Is this what that quiet quitting I've been hearing about?
[01:14:22] Speaker B: I mean, I hope not, because all of our calls have been going to voicemail for like two years. Again, two months. At the very least.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: Let's try calling him right now. Okay, let me handle. Handle him.
[01:14:36] Speaker C: Oh, he's taking on more than.
This guy wants a job. Not on the podcast. He wants a job at town hall. Okay, here we go.
[01:14:43] Speaker A: All right, here's a number.
[01:14:46] Speaker B: Hello.
[01:14:47] Speaker A: Hey, clock speaking. Yeah, way at I'm home. Where's home for you these days?
[01:15:00] Speaker B: I'm sorry, who are you?
[01:15:01] Speaker A: I'm how you're doing, and I asked you a damn question. Tell me, where's home for you these days?
[01:15:08] Speaker B: My house.
[01:15:09] Speaker A: You sure about that?
[01:15:11] Speaker B: Pretty sure.
[01:15:12] Speaker A: You sure at your house right now?
[01:15:15] Speaker C: Why does he sound like he's pranking him?
[01:15:19] Speaker A: If I told you that I was at your house right now, would I be able to see you?
[01:15:24] Speaker B: I have two floors, okay?
[01:15:26] Speaker A: Because I got a tracker on this thing. I got a tracker on your phone. I got a tracker through this whole thing, and this is giving me opinion in Cabo, all right? You in Cabo right now. Are you lying to me?
[01:15:38] Speaker B: Like corn on the.
[01:15:40] Speaker A: No, no, not the corn on the.
[01:15:43] Speaker C: Clark's always been funny when he's not. Yeah, Clark's good when he's not. Face down on the desk.
[01:15:48] Speaker A: Why I hired him.
[01:15:48] Speaker C: He's funny.
[01:15:49] Speaker A: No, I wanted. Okay. So, you and Cabo, are you here, sir?
[01:15:54] Speaker B: What's this about?
[01:15:56] Speaker A: It's about your job. You know, the thing that gives you money. You guys have been paying.
[01:15:59] Speaker B: I work at city hall. You can call them if you're curious about hiring.
[01:16:09] Speaker C: Been. Sorry, Al, just so you have full context, we've sort of been acting as, like, an agency for Clark. And we've been sending him out on jobs that we think he'd be good at. He was a ditch digger for a while. He operated the cremator until he ditched digging.
Yeah. So he sort of flaked out, sort of fucked that contract up for us. He used to work at the crematorium. He would push the bodies through.
Yeah, he just.
[01:16:37] Speaker A: All right, I'll take care of this. Hey, Clark, you still there, buddy?
[01:16:42] Speaker B: Sadly.
[01:16:43] Speaker A: All right, so I just want to let you know, you don't got to worry about city hall no more because you're fired. Go back to the job with the crematorium. Go push them bodies all the way through. You're done here. You got it?
[01:16:54] Speaker B: Okay.
When can I expect my severance check?
[01:16:58] Speaker A: You ain't getting one. Goodbye.
[01:17:00] Speaker B: Okay, I'm going to sue you.
[01:17:04] Speaker A: Listen, I took care of it.
Out comes in, out goes out. I take care of the problems. Right?
[01:17:11] Speaker B: Adam, I don't like this guy.
[01:17:13] Speaker C: So I'm a little concerned about.
[01:17:16] Speaker B: He makes decisions without consulting.
[01:17:18] Speaker C: He didn't consult.
Just. It sounds like he just got us sued. Maybe we'd call Phil back.
[01:17:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a me. Phil again.
You got a lawsuit? Another one right here. For lack of severance pay.
I don't know what it's about. Sorry, guys. All right, I'm out.
[01:17:40] Speaker C: It seems like you opened the envelope, Phil.
[01:17:42] Speaker A: You, sir.
[01:17:43] Speaker B: Adam, sir.
[01:17:45] Speaker A: Yeah, how you doing? Are you supposed to be naked on this chair right now? Yeah, they told me to take off my barrel my only piece of clothes. That sounds like sexual harassment. Do you need representation?
[01:17:57] Speaker C: My guy, Phil.
[01:17:59] Speaker A: Okay, yeah, actually, that's a good point. Hey, you guys hire me, I use you for sexual harassment. What, do you.
[01:18:11] Speaker B: Don'T like Al? And I think I'm starting to not.
[01:18:14] Speaker C: I soured on Phil as well.
[01:18:17] Speaker B: I think we just need to go back to the guy who was doing what we told him to do.
[01:18:22] Speaker C: It might be that Mike is the least of 26 evils.
[01:18:27] Speaker B: I wonder if he'll take us back.
[01:18:28] Speaker C: I don't think we have to worry about that. I think we're in sort of the high status position with him. He will probably not like he's got.
[01:18:35] Speaker B: A whole other podcast going already. I mean, what are the odds of.
[01:18:38] Speaker A: That, Danny, everything's on fire. For the love of God. It's okay.
You got to stop going off on your nightmares. This is not okay.
We've endorsed so many candidates this week. This is too much. This is too much.
[01:18:55] Speaker B: My perfectly good pickup sticks. Now they're pickup firewood.
[01:19:00] Speaker A: Yeah, you still got it. Listen, daddy. Still got it. Guys, I'm sorry. I know that we're in a burning building.
[01:19:05] Speaker B: One after an.
[01:19:06] Speaker A: Ow.
[01:19:06] Speaker B: It's hot.
[01:19:07] Speaker A: I'm glad, guys. We got to be doing better. We got to be doing better than this. Lewis, tell me some good news.
[01:19:16] Speaker C: Well, once the firefighters are finished putting out Sirius XM Tower, I have some good news for you. Actually. I've scored you a pretty exclusive interview.
I think you'll be very pleased with it.
[01:19:36] Speaker A: With who? Okay, so, Mr. K. Jr.
I just got to say, now that I'm actually sitting down and talking with you, I'm realizing you're nuts.
[01:19:49] Speaker C: Well, in all honesty, I have to admit I was nuts. But in the past couple of days, I felt just a lot better. So I want to change direction, and I want to put that behind me.
[01:20:07] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:20:07] Speaker C: Yeah. So I thought I'd come on here and explain myself and really just first and foremost, apologize to everyone for the years of harm I caused with my public misinformation campaign. Well, I got a quick question, because this is the turning point for me. This is the first year I haven't gotten measles, mumps, or rubella. Oh, my God, 40 years.
[01:20:34] Speaker A: That's pretty good.
Can I ask you, though, what in your opinion, was the funniest joke from this episode of Everybody loves Raymond.
[01:20:43] Speaker C: Ah, I did get the packet beforehand.
It has to be the lasagna. I mean, that's a great joke.
[01:20:52] Speaker A: It's a great hot close.
[01:20:53] Speaker C: That's a great joke. Hot close of the episode. Marie, after giving Deborah such a hard time applying to Charlotte Sterling and presenting her with the lasagna to sort of grease the wheels, I did wonder, though, Marie says herself earlier in the episode, it takes an hour to get to Manhattan from Limbrook.
How confident do you have to be in your lasagna to bring a lasagna? Cold, loosely shrink wrapped on the li r, which I'm glad that I'm doing vaccines now because I had to take that to get here and, well, let's just say, would have gotten big polio.
What is the Babylon line?
[01:21:43] Speaker A: That's the one. It gets you every time. Gets you every time.
[01:21:46] Speaker C: How confident do you have to be in that lasagna to bring it to an interview cold and demand the interviewer eat it in front of you?
[01:21:56] Speaker A: You got to be really confident. You got to be really.
[01:21:58] Speaker C: You got to be a great lasagna.
[01:22:00] Speaker A: Absolutely.
All right, well, I think that'll wrap it up for us this episode. Thank you, Mr. K, Jr. Danny, you got any closing?
[01:22:10] Speaker B: Know, when I first met you, I thought you were nothing but a bunch of toothpicks. But now I see you are hard and sturdy. I would pick you up any day, sir.
[01:22:27] Speaker C: Wow, that's really beautiful.
[01:22:30] Speaker A: And that is it for us here on this episode of everybody is at least a moderate fan of Raymond. Thank you very much for listening, everybody. Have a good week.
I'm glad that you came out, Robbie. This is fantastic.
[01:22:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I did also come out. You're right. That sort of got glossed over a little bit in the announcement that I'm pro vaccine now.
[01:22:56] Speaker A: Doesn't matter.
[01:22:57] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I mean, hopefully Phil should be pulling up to Cheryl's house in just a second. I say Cheryl's house now because I've moved out preemptively to serve her with the papers. But yeah, it's a big change for me. I've really changed directions since I stopped getting typhus.
[01:23:17] Speaker A: I believe it.
[01:23:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Was that red light supposed to. I see the red light there. Was it supposed to be on while we were talking?
[01:23:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That was supposed to be okay because.
[01:23:28] Speaker C: It just turned on now.
[01:23:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I did it again. Fuck me.
[01:23:36] Speaker C: I know I don't work mean, right? Danny, you're fired.
[01:23:44] Speaker B: What?
[01:23:45] Speaker C: Not Danny, you're fired. Mike, you're fired. Oh, Danny, do you want to do the show together now? You and me?
[01:23:53] Speaker B: I think we've learned enough to start our own episode, our own podcast.
[01:23:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:23:59] Speaker A: All right.
I guess I got to go back to Alex and Adam and beg for my job back.
[01:24:05] Speaker C: Oh, wait, this sucks. Mike, right? Yeah, it is. Mike, I dunked on you.
[01:24:13] Speaker A: That was. Thank you for bringing that up again. Yeah, I was kind of hoping that had faded into obscurity, but, yeah, I.
[01:24:19] Speaker C: Owe you a lot of thanks.
If you hadn't surreptitiously vaccinated me, I would not be firing you right now. So thank you.
[01:24:29] Speaker B: So, anyway, what do you think about the title? Everyone picks up Raymond, I love.
[01:24:37] Speaker C: You know, since I came out, that's what I'm trying to.
[01:24:42] Speaker A: The. The door opens. Hey, guys, I'm looking for. Oh, hey, Robbie. I dealt. I handed those papers, and I'm looking for papers to give to Danny.
It's a lawsuit for Conan. He did not enjoy you picking him up.
[01:24:59] Speaker B: I put him down.
[01:25:00] Speaker A: Too bad. And we'll see you in court, sir.
[01:25:04] Speaker B: I shouldn't have picked up these files.
[01:25:07] Speaker C: Okay, well, this will be fine. Like, I plugged in the fourth input.
Okay, here he comes. We're going to ask him to come. Hey, Mike.
[01:25:16] Speaker A: Hey, guys.
[01:25:18] Speaker C: There he is. Yeah.
[01:25:21] Speaker B: We love this guy.
[01:25:22] Speaker A: All right, you guys can stop. I know you feel bad. I don't mean to really hit harp on this, but, guys, I tried. I was not able to make a good podcast. Can you just take me? We. Can we just go back to the way things were. We got, like, an endorsement. It was awful.
[01:25:38] Speaker B: Well, you know what surprised us, Mike? We couldn't really do it without you either. Believe it or not, everyone in this town sucks worse than some people in this room currently.
[01:25:49] Speaker A: You almost saved it there at the end. And I appreciate the attempt, by the way.
[01:25:53] Speaker C: This is Al.
[01:25:54] Speaker A: Hey, how you doing?
[01:25:56] Speaker C: Because of some legal matters we don't need to get into. He is going to be the fourth host of everybody loves Raymond. Everybody loves everybody loves Raymond from now.
[01:26:07] Speaker A: I don't know if I like that. Yeah, I don't like it either. I kind of got to be honest with you guys. I think that this is going to be a three man show.
[01:26:13] Speaker C: You're the one who demanded we hire you so you not sue us for sexual harassment.
[01:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah, correct. But I kind of thought it was going to be that.
[01:26:21] Speaker B: This will all be resolved by next week's episode. We'll take care of it off screen.
You got.
We'll do a look at the rabbits thing.
[01:26:31] Speaker A: I respect it.
All right, so time to wrap this thing up. What do we think? Anybody got any more thoughts?
[01:26:42] Speaker C: Just that Charlotte Sterling was played by Julie Haggerty who is best known for being an airplane. An airplane too. She had a great tv run in 1995 through 1999. Dropped off a little bit, but she's still working consistently to this day. She did an ER episode like everyone else on this goddamn show. But interestingly enough, she did two episodes. Do you remember really early on, Mike, Alex, you weren't here. Al, in the run of our show, we talked about women of the house which is the spinoff of designing women that Patricia Heaton was on right before doing everybody loves Raymond.
[01:27:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I remember that.
[01:27:25] Speaker B: I remember that.
[01:27:26] Speaker C: Julie Hagerty was on two episodes. So this episode is sort of a women of the house reunion.
[01:27:33] Speaker A: Wow, that's pretty cool. All right. I like that. That's a great little tidbit.
[01:27:39] Speaker C: Clearly, no one but me cares. So I guess I'll just go back.
[01:27:42] Speaker A: On to I'm glad you drop it, but I don't know what to do with that. You kidding me?
[01:27:49] Speaker C: I'm trying to drum up interest because it's hard to put the women of the house wiki together by myself.
There's 13 episodes.
[01:27:58] Speaker A: Is this woman the one? Is she Shirley in airplane?
Is she the one that gives the surely you can't be serious line?
[01:28:08] Speaker C: I don't know if I think you're getting a couple of wires crossed there.
[01:28:14] Speaker A: Because it was the stewardess that gave that.
[01:28:17] Speaker C: Her character wasn't named Shirley.
[01:28:19] Speaker A: No, but that's who I always think of her as.
[01:28:22] Speaker C: So you shouldn't refer. Her name was Elaine Dickinson.
[01:28:25] Speaker A: Is that the person that gave the line Shirley? You can't be serious.
[01:28:28] Speaker C: I assume to Leslie Nielsen who then says, don't call me Shirley. Yeah, I am.
[01:28:35] Speaker A: Don't call me Shirley.
[01:28:36] Speaker C: Shirley, you can't be serious.
[01:28:39] Speaker A: I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. What a great movie that is. It's a great movie.
[01:28:44] Speaker C: Ted Stryker, played by Robert Hayes, tells Leslie Nielsen, airplane's a pretty good movie.
[01:28:53] Speaker A: It's a phenomenal movie.
[01:28:54] Speaker C: It's funny, hasn't aged great. The old white woman being like, don't worry, I speak jive.
[01:29:01] Speaker A: Yeah. No, there are some jokes that don't age well at all. You're right, that joke doesn't. But the ones that age. Good age, really well.
[01:29:08] Speaker C: All right. Anything else?
[01:29:09] Speaker A: The only two things that I wanted to point out, I wanted to point out is just two lines that kind of made me chuckle. And they were both from the cold open. The first one was when Debra comes in from the party, and she says, I've been thinking. And Ray says, oh, God, you're leaving me. And Deborah says, eventually, but it's a great line. And it also kind of hit me as, like, the kind of banter, like a real married couple will. I just. I don't know. I thought that was funny.
[01:29:36] Speaker C: That was a really funny line.
[01:29:37] Speaker A: And the other one was just the remote control stick that Ray had made me chuckle, and I was waiting for it to come back, and it did not.
[01:29:44] Speaker B: That's a good physical. Yeah. Yeah, I forgot about it. Honestly, in the remainder of the episode.
[01:29:50] Speaker A: That's it. Shall we go to the barometer?
[01:29:53] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:29:54] Speaker A: All right.
Where do I get to judge people?
[01:29:57] Speaker C: Oh, in the barometer. Al, I don't know if we explained this to you.
[01:30:01] Speaker A: Just.
[01:30:01] Speaker C: Oh, by the way, sorry.
This is really important. So we should have said it earlier. Peter Boyle is not in this episode.
[01:30:12] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't even notice.
[01:30:14] Speaker C: He had a heart attack during rehearsal.
[01:30:17] Speaker A: Oh, holy crap.
[01:30:19] Speaker C: Yes. We should have mentioned that earlier.
But, yeah, he had had a heart attack during rehearsals for this episode. He was actually rehearsing with Julie Haggerty. He had a coughing and cold sweat and everything, and he joked that he was probably having a heart attack. And then the assistant director came over and said, I think you're having a heart attack.
So they called the paramedics, and they took him to the hospital, and he had a heart attack.
And he was in the hospital for a couple of days, so he couldn't film this episode, so they wrote him out. Yeah, this is the first of four episodes. The other one is the one that follows this, or the next one is the one that follows or two episodes from now, dancing with Deborah, how they met, and sleepover at Peggy's.
So basically, the rest of this season, and then no Peter Boyle way later as well.
[01:31:14] Speaker A: So.
[01:31:15] Speaker C: Yeah, we should have mentioned that earlier. That's important.
[01:31:17] Speaker A: That is important. Well, that's good to know. Wow. Okay, that sucks.
[01:31:21] Speaker C: All right, moving on to the barometer. So, Al, this is our scale from one to ten, on which we rate race performance as a husband, brother, son, dishwasher, with ten being the great dads of sitcom history. You're Danny Tanner's Bob sagets.
Same guy. You know what I mean? What's another example to you, Al, of a good.
[01:31:46] Speaker A: You know, you got to say, what's his name, the cake boss? Buddy Velastro. That's a good guy.
[01:31:55] Speaker C: Interesting choice. Not going to push back on it.
[01:31:59] Speaker A: He's a Freaking cake. But he's a good guy. Yeah. Come on.
[01:32:02] Speaker C: Sorry. What makes him a good dad? That he is a cake boss.
[01:32:05] Speaker A: He's a friggin cake boss. He makes a good birthday.
[01:32:07] Speaker B: He's a friggin cake boss.
[01:32:08] Speaker A: He makes a good birthday.
[01:32:10] Speaker C: Okay, so he's a good dad. About one day a year per child.
[01:32:14] Speaker A: That's a lot. That's pretty good. He's got a bunch.
[01:32:17] Speaker C: Depends on how many children he has. 365.
[01:32:22] Speaker A: He's got 300 kids. That's a great dad. I think per capita you even that out. That's a good day.
[01:32:28] Speaker C: So the other end of the spectrum is your ones, your bad men of television history, your Walter whites, your Don drapers, your, you know, bad dads. Men who actively harm their families. Alex, you have another example.
[01:32:40] Speaker B: Batman's parents.
[01:32:42] Speaker A: Well, in a sense, I guess they weren't.
[01:32:47] Speaker C: They certainly weren't around.
[01:32:49] Speaker A: They weren't around. Yeah, that's fucked.
[01:32:55] Speaker C: But he's not wrong. Better parents would not have gotten murdered.
[01:33:01] Speaker B: Put that on a t shirt and sell it.
[01:33:03] Speaker A: No.
[01:33:03] Speaker C: Please shop postfund.org. Mike, where's Ray? Coming in for you in this episode. And, Al, you can just watch. You don't have to answer.
[01:33:11] Speaker A: Oh, I'm watching intensely. It's really interesting because, Al, could you back up like about 3ft?
Oh, sorry. I'm just trying to watch intently. Yeah, you can do that from afar.
[01:33:25] Speaker C: Okay, thank you very much. To be fair, he can't watch inside your mouth from afar.
[01:33:30] Speaker A: Yeah, he was trying to though. Yeah, I was indeed trying to. I was trying to see what was going on in there.
[01:33:36] Speaker C: All right, what is going on in there? Sorry.
[01:33:39] Speaker A: We can talk about my dental hygiene another time, but I will.
[01:33:43] Speaker C: Something ain't right in there. Al, you're right.
[01:33:45] Speaker A: This is a weird episode because Ray straight up sucks in the first half. I think we can all kind of agree on that.
Okay, listen, going back to work is a major, major decision. And you can, for very legitimate reasons, be opposed to your wife going back to work because childcare costs are huge.
You need people to run the day to day.
It can be a reasonable discussion to say, hey, I was thinking about going back to work and we can't really have that happen right now. You could make that argument. Ray was not making that argument. He just didn't want to do the fucking dishes and he didn't want to deal with the kids. Which I also will say it's weird that Ray is so actively opposed to playing with the kids. I know it's supposed to be a joke and we're going to get comments and stuff like that, but I didn't get the joke as to why it was frustrating for him to play with the kids. As much as I can understand the. I don't want to clean, I don't want to cook. I can understand that. But I feel like if you're that angry at playing with the kids, there's something else that's interesting happening. However, I think that the gesture of him going to the office to have a conversation with the boss is mortifying, but ultimately so wholesome in its intention that I was like, this is kind of nice.
I think that the first part absolutely outweighs the second part, but I'm going to give Ray the benefit of the doubt. I think that second part was because he genuinely felt bad for his wife and wanted to fix a problem. I'm giving him the benefit of that doubt, even though I know some of my other co hosts looking at you, Al, will eventually disagree with that. I'm going to say Ray is coming in at a three. Eight. 3.8.
[01:35:38] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:35:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:35:39] Speaker C: I didn't know where that was going.
[01:35:41] Speaker A: The first half felt really shitty. Four seems high, but I feel like you should get to close to it. So I'm going to go 3.8.
[01:35:49] Speaker C: All right, Alex.
[01:35:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm kind of in the same ballpark as Mike because I can almost see where Ray's coming from at points where he's talking about. You know, it's going to be very difficult around the house without you.
Like, he's going to have to really step up and work harder. And then Deborah said she's going to be gone two days a week.
And then I kind of was like, oh, yeah, I don't think I caught that.
[01:36:22] Speaker A: Yeah. A little less shitty days.
[01:36:27] Speaker B: If she was gone all week and Ray was also gone all week, then, yeah, I could understand maybe a little hesitance there, but it's like, dude, you have to step up twice. A is just. This is parenting. This is what you agreed to when you had kids, so I'm going to give him less hearts. And also, yeah. Going into a place of work and fighting for your fiance or not fiance, your wife, who also was not completely truthful on why she was let go.
Yeah, I may have been just. Straight three. Bad job.
[01:37:04] Speaker C: Straight three. Good point. I don't think I caught that. It was two days a week. I knew it was part time, but two days a. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little nuts for the amount of complaining that he was doing. That's really bad. Yes. It's also mortifying to have your husband go into the office that just fired you. And Deborah uses the word grovel for your job back.
And she didn't even ask him to do that. So I feel like the intention was nice, but he really shouldn't have done that without talking to her, or at all, in my opinion.
Especially because then she didn't even go back to the job.
[01:37:52] Speaker A: Yeah, that was kind of unclear at the end there.
[01:37:55] Speaker C: She wouldn't have been interviewing Marie if she had hired Deborah. Although I don't know if it was an actual interview or Marie just showed up with a lasagna. Wouldn't be the first time she's done, I'm sure.
So really, it's hard to find a redeeming thing in this episode.
The best you can say is he begrudgingly supports her wanting to have a life outside of home and an identity outside of being a mother and wife.
But he doesn't even do that that forcefully. So I kind of want to give him a 2.5.
[01:38:33] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:38:34] Speaker C: He's really not doing great.
[01:38:35] Speaker A: All right, that's interesting. All right. Is it my turn?
[01:38:42] Speaker C: Yeah, if you want. Fine.
[01:38:43] Speaker A: All right, let's move. Let's settle in here. I got some thoughts. I got some breakdown for you here. All right. First of all, Ray, not a good guy during the last, the you don't bother woman in a place of work. That ain't cool. That ain't cool. You don't do that, Charlotte. You deserve better. You should move offices. That ain't cool. That's also a very tiny office. Is it just me? It kind of looked like it was two rooms.
[01:39:08] Speaker C: She is a sole proprietor.
[01:39:10] Speaker A: Don't matter. At this time, there were allegedly three people in this office. Come on. What are we talking about here? That's ridiculous.
[01:39:18] Speaker C: Second of all, you got to wonder where Deborah's desk was the day that she worked there.
[01:39:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Second of all, two days. We're talking two days. That's nothing. And that ain't nothing. What Ray should have done, if he was a real man, he should have put the kids to work. When I was a kid, when I was running. I was running copies for my dad's business, no questions asked.
[01:39:43] Speaker C: What does that mean?
[01:39:45] Speaker A: I know that's not politically correct anymore, but that's the way I feel. That's the way I feel.
[01:39:51] Speaker C: What is? Running copies. What does that mean?
[01:39:54] Speaker A: You know, when you get copies?
[01:39:58] Speaker C: Honestly? No. What do you mean, total copies?
[01:40:01] Speaker A: You're young. Okay? Back in the day.
[01:40:02] Speaker C: No, but what do you mean?
Let's start here. What did your dad do? What was his business?
[01:40:09] Speaker A: He was some businessman. I don't know. He did sales or some shit.
[01:40:13] Speaker C: But did he make copies of something on site?
[01:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah, of course.
[01:40:18] Speaker C: And then where would you take the copies?
[01:40:21] Speaker A: I would run them to where they had to go.
[01:40:24] Speaker C: Such as?
[01:40:26] Speaker A: I don't know. They went to another guy's office and then sometimes I would have to cross state lines. I don't know. You got to do what you got to do.
[01:40:34] Speaker C: So you were basically a human fax machine.
[01:40:37] Speaker A: What's a fax machine? I don't know any.
[01:40:40] Speaker C: We don't have time for me to explain.
[01:40:42] Speaker A: A fax machine. That's fine. All right. But, yeah, I guess I was running copies. I was running all this stuff all across the board. It was great. It was a good time. I earned some money. The family earned some money. It was a good time. We ain't got nothing.
Listen, I was offended because the only image we got was of a four year old eating a shoe. Now, four year olds are smarter than that, and they can carry several rings of paper, and they should be doing that so that they can cross state lines. And the Fukabi's got to get where they got to go. You get the kids to do work or you send them to the mines. One of the two.
That's how you got to do it. Also, I don't know. He was lazy. I'm giving him a one.
[01:41:21] Speaker B: Al, you're fired.
[01:41:22] Speaker C: Yeah, go ahead and sue us. You're fired.
[01:41:26] Speaker A: I'm going to get Phil on the horn right now.
[01:41:28] Speaker C: I don't care. Go away. You're fired. You're finished.
[01:41:31] Speaker A: Can I have my barrel back?
[01:41:33] Speaker B: Yes, if you'll leave.
[01:41:34] Speaker C: Fine.
[01:41:35] Speaker B: Give it to us.
[01:41:36] Speaker C: Fine.
[01:41:37] Speaker B: It's covered in stains anyway.
[01:41:38] Speaker C: Get in it and I'll push you down the hill.
[01:41:41] Speaker A: I don't like that. That ain't cool. Come on.
[01:41:44] Speaker C: Well, it's happening.
I hired a security guard, by the way, guys. Chris, can you come in here and stuff this man in this barrel? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, this is great. This is Crossfit 101 right here. Come here. Sir.
[01:42:02] Speaker A: That'S not a full rep. Actually, you can't.
[01:42:07] Speaker C: Mike.
[01:42:09] Speaker A: Hey, motherfucker.
[01:42:13] Speaker C: Did you know that me and Mrs. Mifflin are number one on iTunes? How does that feel?
[01:42:21] Speaker A: You are not one number one on iTunes.
[01:42:23] Speaker C: We're number one on iTunes. Personal journals.
[01:42:26] Speaker A: That's very impressive. That is very impressive.

We're not changing co we're not changing.
[01:42:53] Speaker A: Hoa. They have halting eye contact for a really long time. I just got to say, I know I'm in the barrel, but I can feel the tension of these guys locking eyes and it's palpable.
[01:43:06] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know what's happening between. The center of gravity of the room has shifted. We need to acknowledge it.
[01:43:14] Speaker B: Anyway, I'm Alex.
