[00:00:01] Speaker A: Testing, testing, one, two. Is this on? Yeah.
[00:00:04] Speaker B: Are we good?
[00:00:06] Speaker A: All right. Hi, everyone. Welcome to this press conference.
I am your lovely mayor, Alex.
I just want to specify for legality purposes that this is being hoarded and will be uploaded online to our podcast everybody loves everybody loves Raymond for legality reasons. So again, please understand that while we are here discussing the event that occurred that I was involved with, we shall not specify it by name for legal reasons.
Today I'm planning to discuss episode 325, season three. Episode 25, Robert moves back with my friends. So let's make this quick.
[00:01:02] Speaker B: Mr. Mayor.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah, Donkey boy, what's up?
[00:01:06] Speaker B: Ouch. First of all, my name is Donkey Hote. It's nice to meet you. I'm ready.
That's stupid.
[00:01:14] Speaker A: Wow. Look out. It's a windmill.
[00:01:18] Speaker B: Hi. I just want to clarify. You're not addressing this at all, like, no apologies, no anything. You're just going ahead. You got nothing to say for yourself?
[00:01:28] Speaker A: I apologized off the record, in an empty room. That is enough for me. That is enough for my conscience.
[00:01:35] Speaker C: Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Hey, I know you. Hi.
[00:01:39] Speaker C: Tara Jones from the Lynbrook Sentinel. Have you spoken to the victims?
[00:01:45] Speaker A: Yeah, hi, Tara. I have spoken.
I've spoken to some of the victims. Not all of them.
They did get my gift basket.
It was only one gift basket they had to share, but there was enough complimentary soaps in there to help all of them clean up.
[00:02:08] Speaker C: I should really ask a follow up question, but he's so dreamy. He makes my journalistic integrity fly out the window.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor. Yes. Phil McCracken from the. Phil's Plaza. I just want to.
[00:02:24] Speaker C: Sorry.
I'm from the AP.
If we could introduce ourselves like we're all professionals. If we could introduce ourselves by our real names and not our pun names that we write under.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: I like pun names.
[00:02:38] Speaker B: That's hugely offensive.
[00:02:40] Speaker C: Oh, that's your real name?
[00:02:42] Speaker B: I am from the Phillips Plaza. We're all named Philip. And they hired me from the McCracken coalition. I don't know what the problem is. I take offense to that.
[00:02:52] Speaker C: I withdraw. I apologize. I respect the McCracken coalition very much. I rescind. Sorry, go on.
[00:03:00] Speaker A: All right, let's get back to the track. This is about me and the thing that I did that shall not be named.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I just want to clarify. You have a lot of angry people. In fact, there is currently a protest being staged outside city hall right now in reference to what is going on, what you did, and how much it upset these. I think it'd actually be easier to list the activist groups that you did not offend in this particular instance.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Okay, go ahead. List the ones that I didn't offend.
[00:03:29] Speaker B: The fishermen seem fine. That's pretty much the end of the list. The fisherman seems okay.
[00:03:34] Speaker A: I am very great with the.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: They. They have actually put a public statement saying, Mayor Alex has done nothing wrong ever, and we love him. Also, please continue to lower the seafood taxes.
[00:03:48] Speaker A: That sounds like my boys.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: All right, can you have anything to say to the people that are borderline rioting in front of city hall right now?
[00:03:57] Speaker A: Yes, I do, actually. Please stop.
[00:04:03] Speaker C: Mr. Man.
[00:04:06] Speaker A: I said please. Yes, you.
[00:04:08] Speaker C: Yes, me. Sorry. Hi.
We've met before. We had a long sit down interview in your office last week. I had one of those weird, long NPR mics. My name is Orlando Jones. I'm from LPR. Lynbrook Public Radio. I just wanted to clarify whether the special counsel is going to be appointed like you said you would appoint, or if we're going to have to wait to see what the inspector general says. The people are saying pretty clearly that they want you held accountable.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: Thank you. Orlando.
I will tell you that the genital inspector is not coming.
[00:04:48] Speaker C: Sorry, wouldn't it be the inspector genital?
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that guy. He's not.
[00:04:52] Speaker C: That's journalist special integrity.
[00:04:54] Speaker A: Tara, a special counsel was brought on to determine why the genital inspector is not coming.
There is no word yet, but I will keep you informed. As for those that are pissed off about the thing that I did, I would like to remind you that throughout our great history, there are many people who have done atrocities far worse. And maybe we should all just forget about this and go home.
[00:05:22] Speaker C: Mr. Mayor, we're from the. This is my colleague, Byron. And my name is Philip. And I'm not affiliated with the whole thing. Put that behind me.
We're from the historians coalition, and we came just to announce that we took a vote and you won.
Yours was ever like, but like Hitler. Well, in.
Oh, sorry. Should have clarified. No, the heavy hitters, the Mount Rushmore of guys who did bad shit is still intact. Hitler, pole pot, Eric Clapton.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: By the way, that project just got approved. The Mount Rushmore of worst people in the world on Limbrook Mountain.
[00:06:18] Speaker C: We all thought that was going to get a lot of pushback, but weirdly, the public is all for it. I don't know. It was weird.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:26] Speaker C: I guess it goes with all those Confederate monuments that you bought a few years ago.
[00:06:31] Speaker A: I bought them to melt them down and make participation trophies for the south.
Everyone liked that idea.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: I have a question over here, sir.
[00:06:43] Speaker A: Yes, living gingerbread man.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: Hi. Yes, it's me with the Brooks book.
I got a question for you, sir.
I just want a timeline on the cleanup. Mrs. Landingham's bake shop is not going to be the same anytime soon until you get power washers to take out their windows.
Could you help us out here and just.
[00:07:04] Speaker C: Sorry. Just got to advocate for Mrs. Landing bakes Ham shop as well.
Talk about a distressed small business.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: No kidding. No kidding.
[00:07:13] Speaker C: And by the not, I know Landing bake monthly is sponsoring a lot of events around town this week to sort of underplay our complicity in what happened. Are. I mean, there.
I'm not Mrs. Landingbake. I'm not. So I'm going to.
[00:07:34] Speaker A: Thank you, older woman with a mustache. What was the question?
[00:07:38] Speaker B: Can we get a timeline on cleanup on Mrs. Landing Ham's bake shop? Mrs. Landing bakes Ham shop. Wanted to steal the headline. Okay. We're worried about Mrs. Landing Ham's bake.
[00:07:52] Speaker C: Look, and all I'll say, just as someone who's not a landing bake is, these are adjoining properties that somebody might want to push into if it doesn't get fixed. So let's just say twice as much.
[00:08:06] Speaker B: I know it's you. Sit down and shut up. I want my bake shop cleaned.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: All right? God damn it, Patricia. I told you to not follow me here. I told you to fuck off. God damn it.
[00:08:20] Speaker A: Get Mrs. Landy Bake out of here.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: No.
[00:08:22] Speaker C: Get off of me. Thugs. I'll stab twin.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: All right.
[00:08:26] Speaker C: Fucking switchblades. That's right. Fuck off.
I'm taking the McCracken guy hostage. Fuck this. Nobody follow me. Nobody follow me.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: So I would like to just follow up. I want a timeline on Mrs. Landingham's. I also want a timeline on how we're going to get McCracken back. He owes me $20 from the fantasy league.
[00:08:50] Speaker C: He owes me $20, too.
[00:08:52] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Everyone shut up.
[00:08:54] Speaker C: He owes me 100.
[00:08:56] Speaker A: He owes me 150. But you don't see me complaining.
[00:08:59] Speaker C: That's the last time I play fantasy lacrosse with that guy.
[00:09:03] Speaker A: All right, I'm going to shoot you. Stop.
[00:09:04] Speaker C: Put the gun down, man.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: Okay, so we zoom out to CNN being like, yes, this is Anderson Cooper's on the screen being like, yes, this is a live stream. The mayor of Lynbrook is currently threatening to shoot the press following an undisclosed controversy in the town of Limbrook.
[00:09:28] Speaker A: I am practicing my free speech to arms.
[00:09:31] Speaker C: Anderson. I'm on site and I'm a little tipsy. It's me, Andy Cohen. Just. Thank you for hiring me to do this. I'm just. Love you, buddy. Best friends.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: So can we get any information on the scene itself for people a little scared? Yes. Okay, you can stop winking at me. Okay. What happened New Year's Eve?
[00:09:52] Speaker C: You didn't say love you back.
[00:09:53] Speaker B: Okay, you're noticing.
[00:09:55] Speaker C: We are famous best friends.
[00:09:57] Speaker B: Anderson, we are on air. This is unprofessional. I want to know about the situation on the ground.
Put the corona down, sir.
[00:10:09] Speaker C: I can't drink champagne. It's not New Year's yet, so, yes, I bought a case of coronas. Sue me.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: I will, actually.
This is not using me. Can we talk about Mayor Alex? I want to know what's going on with Mayor Alex.
[00:10:25] Speaker C: The doors to the CNN studio burst open. I'm going to kill this motherfucker on air.
[00:10:31] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:10:32] Speaker C: If you don't give me the least look. I'm looking at you. I'm talking to you, Ted Turner. Alex, can you turn CNN off while you're giving a press conference? It's really distracting.
[00:10:42] Speaker A: There we go. Okay. To answer the question that was asked ten minutes ago, the cleanup for Mrs. Landingham's bake shop is going to occur starting tomorrow morning. We have the custodian from the town hall. He's going to go over there and he's going to spend 20 minutes sweeping up all the glass and candy in the front part of the store so people can get in. I understand the mess inside the shop. I understand that it looks like a tornado went through there. And we're going to get all the cotton candy out of the webs and all the webs out of the cotton candy.
We're going to clean it, but we want. Our primary priority is getting people back in Mrs. Landingham's shop.
[00:11:40] Speaker B: In the back of Alex's shot, you see a janitor in a hazmat suit pushing a mop down and out of the door towards Mrs. Landinghaze.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: He's also going to find whatever's causing that radioactive sounding sound and get rid of it.
And I think overall this will be an improvement for Lindbergh's favorite bake shop. I can't say that for the ham shop. I think I'm going to have to close that with how Mrs. Landingbake just acted.
We'll figure that out.
That's. I think I did my job well. Any other questions? I want to close this out.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: One more. Alex, it's Tara.
[00:12:26] Speaker A: Hi, Tara.
[00:12:28] Speaker C: Are you free later?
[00:12:29] Speaker A: No.
[00:12:30] Speaker C: Bye.
It just makes me want him more.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: That's it. No more questions. Get out of here.
That went well, actually. Yeah.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: Honestly, Mrs.
[00:12:41] Speaker C: Landing bake sort of, like, took the heat off of you a little.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: She saved it, kind of.
[00:12:46] Speaker A: Honestly, I feel like.
[00:12:47] Speaker B: Listen, and also, you're welcome. I slipped Andy Cohen the 24 pack of Corona because I knew he was on to you, man. He had the documents and everything. The paper trail had you dead to rights.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. I feel like Mrs. Landingbake really took off the heat for me. I think the news is going to be, like, half and half instead of exclusively on.
I mean, you guys know what happened. You can't blame me. How did I know there were going to be cameras there?
[00:13:17] Speaker C: Well, you got to assume, Alex, actually, we've talked to you about this before. You have to assume that everyone's got a camera at all times. It's the 2000s, Alex, I'm going to.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: Be real with you for a second. You screwed up so badly here that I really think that we got distracted. We somehow distracted the city of Lynbrook from its concern with the single horniest episode of Raymond to date.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: Honestly, it's such a shame this had to happen this week because this episode is so insane. And I was so looking forward to our usual wacky antics of going around town, talking to people. But I'm going to be honest, guys. I don't think I could leave this room without being interrogated profusely about what had occurred.
[00:14:00] Speaker C: You're going to want the public to cool down a little.
I'll leave the chain on. Hello.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: Hi. I have some questions for the mayor.
[00:14:12] Speaker C: Who are you?
[00:14:15] Speaker B: My name is Doug.
[00:14:18] Speaker C: Don't.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: That. Again.
[00:14:21] Speaker C: Better not be. Better not be Doug or Dave.
Tell you right now, no Ds. No Ds today. Sorry, DS and J's are out.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Stop it.
I'm Greg.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: Okay, that'll work. And what are your credentials? Do you work here?
[00:14:42] Speaker B: I work for the financial book of Lynbrook.
[00:14:50] Speaker C: You're going to have to explain to me what that is before I work for the FBI.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: I'll just come out and say it. I have some questions for Alex about his behavior earlier today. And.
[00:15:02] Speaker C: Show me your badge. Show me your badge.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: All right.
[00:15:07] Speaker C: Female body inspector checks out.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: It says Doug on.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: All right, let him in.
[00:15:15] Speaker C: All right, fine. Come on in.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: Come on, Adam.
[00:15:18] Speaker B: I've never been welcomed in here.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: I understand that this is bad for me, but, like, come on. Having an FBI agent on the show?
[00:15:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Would you mind signing this release? Would you like to be on everybody.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: Loves everybody loves you may or might be under arrest here. This is a bigger problem.
[00:15:37] Speaker C: What branch are you from? What? FBI field office. Are you from, like, Macon or Birmingham or.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: Valley stream.
[00:15:47] Speaker A: FBI. Valley stream.
[00:15:49] Speaker B: FBI. Valley stream. They're filming a show there, so they had to put it us up.
[00:15:53] Speaker C: They're filming a new spin off in the FBI franchise that's centered around Valley stream, New York. Population 10,000, correct?
[00:16:02] Speaker B: That's about right, yeah. Turns out that the surrounding neighborhoods have the highest crime per capita in the world, actually. You would be shocked.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: No idea what any of that's about.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: There's probably several crimes that you committed there, and I'll have questions for you.
[00:16:18] Speaker C: I doubt you have any evidence linking. Wait, us being Alex or both of. All three of us?
[00:16:25] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely not the three of us. No. I have witness testimony saying that all three of you.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: I don't know, Agent Greg. I feel like.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: Oh, please. Agent Greg's my father. Call me Doug.
[00:16:39] Speaker C: Fuck you.
[00:16:41] Speaker A: All right, so tell me, Agent Greg.
[00:16:46] Speaker C: Doug, do you want to be on the show?
[00:16:48] Speaker A: Don't ask him. Tell him.
[00:16:51] Speaker C: Oh, we're recording this right now, and you're on everybody loves everybody loves Raymond.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: If you want answers from us, you got to give us some answers about your opinions on the show. Everybody loves.
[00:17:05] Speaker C: That's Alex. I'm Adam.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: That's not really how this works, right?
[00:17:08] Speaker A: It is here in this town.
[00:17:10] Speaker C: This is the longest running everybody loves Raymond podcast, and we're talking about season three, episode 25, Robert moves back.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: Oh, that's even more than the Barone report.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Technically, no, but in terms of original content, far and away.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: Okay, I guess I'll take a first listen, guys. You guys are awesome. This is my first undercover investigation. I think that it's going.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Oh, you're doing a great job.
[00:17:38] Speaker C: Immediately told us you were from the FBI.
[00:17:41] Speaker B: Oh, damn it. I screwed it up again. I got to come on break.
[00:17:45] Speaker C: Your cover was you work for the finance book.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: Keep them on our good side, bro.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: I thought that I was coming from the press conference, you guys would take a part of the newspapers, and I guess that just didn't turn out too well, now, did it?
[00:17:59] Speaker C: No.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: That's okay, though.
[00:18:03] Speaker C: Do you want a handkerchief for those beads of sweat?
[00:18:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
You guys are the nicest criminals I've ever met.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: We're not criminals.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: Fine. We do a podcast.
[00:18:17] Speaker A: We are crime enthusiasts.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Okay. I'm just saying, Kaczynski would never have given me a kerchief at all. I'll tell you right now.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: Right now. Did you work the Unabomber case?
[00:18:28] Speaker B: Yeah, that guy was an asshole. He sucked.
[00:18:32] Speaker C: So this is season three, episode 25 of everybody loves Raymond. It's called Robert moves back. Alex, what happens in this episode?
[00:18:41] Speaker A: I will happily tell you what happens.
Robert and Amy get back together. Yay.
And the whole world tries to make them regret it.
So Amy, who previously was basically known on this show for being like three things. Deborah's friend, Robert's girlfriend, and being a virgin and working in marketing. And working in marketing.
Now she is only famous for three things because she is not a virgin anymore. She comes to Robert. She told literally.
Well, we don't know literally. She tells Robert that she misses him and she wants to get back together.
And Robert and her start seeing each other again. And they do the dirty dance at Robert's place.
And everything is great until the next morning, they realized that everyone in the apartment complex had seen them have sex, and everyone judged them for it because they left the blinds open. And basically they spend the entire episode hiding out Ray's house until eventually they get caught by Marie for having sex a second time. This poor girl.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: I have a thought. So listen, I spent a lot of time in the bureau looking at the windows and looking at things and the ways that certain things could be set up. We learned that after the JFK case, which I worked as well.
The JFK, if you will. That's correct. And by the way.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: Sorry, hold on. How old are you?
[00:20:27] Speaker B: Excuse me? That's on a need to know basis. I don't know.
[00:20:30] Speaker C: I'm going to guess 1963. You would have had to be at least 18. Who says that? 2024.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Now, I don't appreciate you sitting here with a calculator in front of you when I'm trying to give you feedback on your particular podcast.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: You are 79 years old at least. Assuming this was your first case and they let you into the FBI after high school.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: That's what you think. So anyway, I spent a lot of time looking at the JF case, looking at. Trying to figure out the different angles. By the way, Leon Harvey Oswald, he had nothing to do with it. I'll tell you about that some other time.
[00:21:04] Speaker C: Totally willing to tell us about that? Very cagey about your age.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: No, you don't ask Amanda's age. That's rude.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: Okay, don't point your finger at me. Fell off the bone onto the floor. Decrepit is what.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: I'll put my finger anywhere. Okay, don't tell me what to do now.
[00:21:23] Speaker C: Now, who are you?
[00:21:24] Speaker A: Don't put your finger anywhere. That's how I got in trouble.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: Oh, we'll talk a lot about that. By the way, I have several questions for you.
[00:21:32] Speaker C: But before you're getting more and more.
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Cajun by the moment, it's almost like you are continuous.
[00:21:41] Speaker C: When you get emotional, you head further down to the bayou.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: When I get emotional, when I get drunk. And that Andy Colwood feller just sent me a lot of those coronas, by the way. You ever had one of those?
[00:21:54] Speaker C: Can't say I have.
I can never find a lime.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Oh, man, you're missing out. Anyway, I will say what is the layout of this apartment?
[00:22:04] Speaker C: Because that's what I was going to bring up too, conceivably. Like we've already established there's some sort of courtyard in the center. We know that Robert lives directly across from his other neighbor because Amy wanted to put the couch facing the patio like an insane person or the balcony. So my question was, is there only one elevator per floor? And does everyone who live on the opposite side have to walk all the way around? Because conceivably no one on Robert's side of the building should have seen him and Amy have. Right.
[00:22:43] Speaker B: But everybody on that side did. So it's got to be. It can't even be that he woo's lack just kind of hanging out onto the courtyard. It had to be that that little tunnel goes down and hops up and then he.
So that there's like a little stage in the middle of the courtyard so that he and Amy are doing the freckle frack like it's the bubble bowl from the SpongeBob episode.
[00:23:10] Speaker A: Okay, I have so many questions, but I'm going to let you.
[00:23:13] Speaker C: So you're saying we see Robert go into his bedroom, which is off the side.
[00:23:18] Speaker B: We've never seen the bedroom. And that's an important distinction.
[00:23:21] Speaker C: Okay. But we assume he's going to a room that is on the same vertical plane as the rest of the set, I suppose, which is it's at least within a few floors of the 9th floor because nine J could see him. You're saying that somehow that leads to a subterranean tunnel underneath the courtyard down where there's facilities for love making.
[00:23:50] Speaker B: Right.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: And somehow that rose up from underneath on full view of the entire building provided that they're looking down at the courtyard. Right.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Because I don't see how else.
[00:24:07] Speaker C: Unless you're also saying that it continues to go up so that it's on level with every floor at some point and sort of like one of those theme park things where you sit in it and it goes up and then drops. Is that what you're saying?
[00:24:22] Speaker B: It's a tower of terror banging? That's kind of what I was kind of thinking.
[00:24:26] Speaker A: Tower of terror banging.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know how likely that is.
My guess was just that there's not as much space between the two sides.
[00:24:37] Speaker B: Of the building as next to him have seen him. If you don't have a window access. That's why I say he's got to be in the center. If he's not in the center, then how is everybody in the place going to be looking and see?
[00:24:49] Speaker C: Well, I'm saying that maybe it wasn't everybody. Maybe those people were on the opposite side of the building. They just are closer than we think. So it's not crazy that there's only one elevator.
[00:25:01] Speaker B: I want to ask you a question here.
Which one of us here has had 70 plus years of FBI experience? Okay, did you say 770 plus years of FBI experience? Is it mock over here? Who's sitting here like a dumb little silent boy? Or is it.
[00:25:21] Speaker C: That means you're at.
[00:25:22] Speaker A: Am I just on his phone?
[00:25:23] Speaker C: That means you're at least 87, by the way.
[00:25:26] Speaker B: You shut up. You get your math out of here. Do you have it? Do you have the 70 years?
[00:25:31] Speaker C: No, I can't.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: That's what I thought.
[00:25:32] Speaker C: Alex, I'm only 21.
[00:25:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:36] Speaker C: Mike, how many years of experience do.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: You have in NFBI?
[00:25:39] Speaker C: Well, in anything.
[00:25:40] Speaker B: I don't know, like 30.
[00:25:41] Speaker C: Wait, hold on. Quick.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Don't worry about it.
[00:25:44] Speaker C: When did you graduate college?
[00:25:45] Speaker B: Don't worry about it.
[00:25:46] Speaker C: Okay.
No, we don't have that.
[00:25:50] Speaker B: I think it's the most likely.
[00:25:52] Speaker C: Yeah, we can agree to disagree on that. Besides the construction of the building, though, there's plenty to talk about in this episode.
We can get into it.
Oh, hold on. My phone's going off here.
Oh, no.
Vanity Fair got. I'm sorry, vanity unfair got a hold of the story and they're going to do a major hit piece on you.
[00:26:17] Speaker A: Oh, no, they're never fair.
[00:26:20] Speaker C: I'm going to run downtown. I'm going to go downtown, Limbrook to their offices and see if we can work out some sort of spin arrangement.
[00:26:29] Speaker B: You go do the vanity unfair thing.
Mark, you go with him. I'm kind of good here.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: Who put you in charge?
I don't want Mike to come with.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Me, ask some questions.
[00:26:44] Speaker A: The dude inspects female bodies. He knows what he's doing on record.
[00:26:48] Speaker B: That that is not what I do anymore.
I learned that that is not anymore and it's been made very abundantly clear to me. But I do need to ask you about napalm use on horses, so we need to get that cleared up.
[00:27:01] Speaker C: You guys need to have a long sit down.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: That's correct.
[00:27:04] Speaker A: I guess.
[00:27:05] Speaker C: All right, we will. Alex, do you want the lawyer? The mayoral counsel in here? Because we have, like, that team of highly paid lawyers that we haven't really asked to do anything, so I think they're ready to go.
[00:27:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I think they've just been playing tic tac toe in the other room like a bunch of losers for the last year. Let's get some lawyers.
[00:27:29] Speaker C: Law enforcement telling you you don't need.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: A lawyer, so maybe overrated. You need lawyers.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: I don't need a lawyer.
[00:27:35] Speaker C: Supposed to tell him he has the right to a lawyer? Or is that only if he's being arrested?
[00:27:40] Speaker B: It's only if he's arrested, and also only if they find out.
[00:27:43] Speaker C: Did you work Miranda?
[00:27:44] Speaker B: What?
[00:27:46] Speaker C: The Miranda case. From Miranda, right?
Pretty sure.
[00:27:51] Speaker A: Well, Miranda is right.
[00:27:53] Speaker C: Pretty sure Miranda is the last name.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: She was great. I like Miranda. She was pretty.
[00:28:02] Speaker C: That's why you can't inspect female.
[00:28:04] Speaker B: It's a different kind of conversation.
[00:28:07] Speaker C: All right, Mike, let's go. Let's get into the. What did we call it?
The camera. Let's get in the. Let's go. Huh?
Well, there they told me, Mike and Adam told me that you asked for a lawyer, that you wanted one of us to come in.
[00:28:29] Speaker A: Are you guys my lawyers?
[00:28:30] Speaker C: Yeah, it's Bradley. I'm Bradley. Hi. Nice to meet you, Bradley. Bradley, Jennifer is here as well, and we are really excited to help you with the law.
[00:28:43] Speaker A: All right, where's the third one?
[00:28:45] Speaker B: No laws are needed because I'm going to be nice. I'm a nice guy.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Alex, who is this squirt gun?
This is Greg. I'm Doug.
[00:29:02] Speaker B: Greg.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: He's from the, uh. He's here to make me sad, make him go away.
[00:29:12] Speaker C: The important thing to remember, Alex, is, a, don't tell him anything, and b, what you did was technically not illegal. We've checked it, I promise.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Okay, hold on. I disagree.
[00:29:23] Speaker C: In this country, specifically, what he did was not illegal. Now, granted, most of the rest of the world it would be. But here in the United States, it was warranted destruction.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: There's going to be some consequences.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: Well, it wasn't explicitly by my hand. It was just a result of the actions that I took.
[00:29:52] Speaker B: So, Danny, in that case, he's not going to need a lawyer?
[00:29:55] Speaker C: No, please, come on. He needs a lawyer. Right? You need a lawyer, Alex, we figured out how to win at Tic tac toe every time. It's just not fun anymore. Please tell him you need a lawyer.
[00:30:06] Speaker A: I need two lawyers, actually, Jennifer, because how else would I have known that what I did wasn't illegal?
[00:30:12] Speaker C: Yeah, there you go. That's the power of the law right there.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Oh, I like that little sad face. Look at that little sad face so much.
[00:30:19] Speaker C: Here, take my handkerchief.
[00:30:20] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
This is like a town of anti Krasinski.
Krasinski is the guy in the office. That guy is also a tool. But that's a different.
That's a different story. But anyway, you guys are so sweet.
[00:30:35] Speaker C: He's trying to weaken our legal prowess by flirting with us. Geez. Don't worry, Alex. I won't fall for it again. Not after last time.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: Thank you. It was fun, though, for me to be your lawyer for that.
[00:30:48] Speaker C: Fun.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: That was interesting.
[00:30:49] Speaker C: Let's fondly remember.
Turn. Just turn the radio down, please.
And you said that there would be, like, bottles of water or charging cables.
I thought you were doing Uber. What's wrong? What's going on?
[00:31:08] Speaker B: I got kicked off Uber.
[00:31:11] Speaker C: It takes a lot to get kicked off of Uber, Mike. What'd you do?
[00:31:15] Speaker B: Apparently not. I played music too loud and did not have chargers.
[00:31:21] Speaker C: But you had water, right?
[00:31:22] Speaker B: Well, listen, I get thirsty.
[00:31:24] Speaker C: So you intended to drank the water you just failed to do. All right, that's a one star from me.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Why did you do that?
If I can't do Uber, I have to do Lyft, and I'm not going to get Lyft if I have one star.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: Hold on. Let me log on to lyft real quick and search. This is a great new feature. You can search your Lyft drivers. Mike H. One star. Okay, let me ask you a question, because it's been really loud driving along the road, and I feel really firmly that the.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: Oh, quick left.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Jesus.
Where's the seatbelt? What the fuck?
[00:32:01] Speaker B: Those are for liberals.
[00:32:03] Speaker C: Oh, God.
Weird political stance.
It seems like the back right wheel isn't moving. Is there a boot on this car or no or what?
[00:32:16] Speaker B: I don't check. Listen, this is a free country. The car can wear whatever it wants.
[00:32:21] Speaker C: To wear a boot again, you live above a garage. How did you obtain a parking violation?
[00:32:27] Speaker B: Because I lived on top of the garage. I parked on top of the garage. Apparently, that's not a legal space according to the structure building.
[00:32:40] Speaker C: You're talking about how there was that truck that had its bed down, and you took it like a ramp, and you drove through the front of your apartment above the garage, reparking.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: What the hell?
[00:32:52] Speaker C: It's an interesting spin. That's interesting that their solution to that was to give you a boot on your car.
Can I ask you, though?
[00:33:00] Speaker B: No.
[00:33:01] Speaker C: Speaking of, like, improper booting. So in this episode, the.
Where are the little things above the door that you can hold on to?
[00:33:11] Speaker B: Oh, I took those off.
[00:33:13] Speaker C: Why?
[00:33:14] Speaker B: Fun.
[00:33:16] Speaker C: You only have the little clothes hanger hook up there, and that's really bad for my arthritis.
[00:33:23] Speaker B: Watch how you're driving.
[00:33:24] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:33:25] Speaker A: No.
[00:33:26] Speaker C: Oh, she's pulling up right alongside us.
[00:33:29] Speaker B: Rolls out the window. Hold on.
[00:33:30] Speaker C: Don't do that Russell Crowe movie where he's the angry driver. Don't do that.
[00:33:35] Speaker A: It's an older woman on a bike.
[00:33:38] Speaker B: Stop trying to ruin it.
You said you didn't have water for.
[00:33:46] Speaker A: I wanted to talk about this.
[00:33:48] Speaker B: I don't have water for drinking. I only have water for chucking.
[00:33:53] Speaker C: She said she wanted to talk about this. We really need to get moving on those bike lanes. We said we were going to do them, like, at the start of this season. Okay. The way Robert and Amy reconnect in this episode is that he pulls her over, and she's in the car with a date. James P. Kits us of queens. 510, 165 pounds. Hair brown, eyes green. Not an organ donor.
[00:34:17] Speaker B: About him.
[00:34:18] Speaker C: We find out that Amy told him to go that way because she knew that that's where Robert's speed trap was.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: Right.
[00:34:27] Speaker C: So I have a feeling that he was used as a pawn by both of them in this. And I'd like to get his side of the story, frankly. Frankly, he's in jail.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I kind of got.
[00:34:40] Speaker C: No, I got the sense that he got a boot on his car, had to pay the ticket or whatever.
[00:34:45] Speaker B: I also wanted to. Well, actually, Robert left because he said, quote, I should take the boot off of that guy's car.
[00:34:51] Speaker A: Right?
[00:34:52] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. So he got off.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: I actually would have loved to see that scene where Robert goes being like, oh, man, I got to get this boot off the car. And then Robert comes up with the key, just like, hey, sorry. Then unlocks.
[00:35:06] Speaker C: What do you think, though, about. I feel like there's two sides. There's James P. Kitsos was manipulated by both of them. And I feel bad for him on that part. But who isn't an organ donor? That seems fucked up to me. I don't know. Maybe this is an. You're not an organ donor.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: I'm not an organ donor.
[00:35:25] Speaker A: You're not an organ donor.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: She's back.
[00:35:27] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:35:27] Speaker B: I caught up, Gladys.
[00:35:30] Speaker A: How dare you not donate your kidney and you die.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Listen, there are too many people after me. If I get shot, I don't want to. Or if I get attacked or something like that.
[00:35:41] Speaker A: Give me that kidney.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: I'll teach you to be okay.
Gladys is going to be.
Gladys is going to be making a donation pretty soon if she keeps this up.
What was your logic, Mike?
[00:36:01] Speaker B: If I get hurt and I'm an organ donor, the doctors aren't going to work as hard to save me because they're going to want my nice, healthy organ.
[00:36:10] Speaker C: That's not what that means at all.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: That is what that means.
[00:36:13] Speaker C: No, it means if you die.
[00:36:15] Speaker B: That's how it works.
[00:36:15] Speaker C: If you die despite their best efforts, or if you die, like in a car crash or something, which is highly probable for you.
[00:36:24] Speaker B: I'm a great driver. Oh, quick, right.
[00:36:29] Speaker C: Mike, you just hit a fire hydrant. Oh, we got a lot of air.
Did you put, like, gliders on this? We're really going.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. No, I installed, like, you know how in a flying squirrel, their wings spread out. I did that, like, for the doors. So every time you take air, the doors swing open.
[00:36:50] Speaker C: Oh, jeez. There's very little to hold on to. So I'm begging you to go in a straight line until we land now.
So the way an organ donor works is they try their very best to save you, and then if they can't, they give the organs to somebody who needs it. And to not do that seems weird to me because you're not using them anymore.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: You're not going to harvest my organs.
[00:37:16] Speaker C: Not harvesting.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: I purposefully ruin my organs so that I can make sure nobody else gets them.
[00:37:23] Speaker C: I know that. I've seen you sit down. You sit down with a 24 pack of coronas every night, and you say, time to do some damage.
It's weird that you're so focused on the liver, though, because usually what they're after is the heart or the lungs. Sometimes they even want the eyes.
[00:37:42] Speaker B: That's what the Big Mac is for. I figure if I have, I fill myself up with cholesterol.
[00:37:47] Speaker C: You've got to stop dousing those big Macs in Corona. I know you saw Joey Chestnut do it with the hot dog, and you're like, it'll get down my gullet faster, but it's.
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Don't knock it till you try.
[00:37:59] Speaker C: Doesn't work the same with lettuce, is the thing.
[00:38:01] Speaker B: I disagree. Anyway, you want to smoke? No.
[00:38:07] Speaker C: Get that out of here. Okay, we're coming to a landing right on top of the vanity unfair parking garage.
That was actually pretty. Honestly, I have to say you did a great job flying this spider.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: I'm a good driver. I don't know. I keep telling you this, but I got some skills here.
[00:38:26] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Look who's coming up the ramp.
[00:38:30] Speaker A: I'm going to get you.
[00:38:31] Speaker C: She's running.
[00:38:33] Speaker B: Gladys.
[00:38:34] Speaker A: I'm going to get you.
[00:38:35] Speaker C: Mike, you can't hit. We're not moving anymore. Stop.
All right, I'm getting out of the car. I'm standing in between you guys. Gladys? Hi. I'm Adam. I'm from the communications team for the mayor.
[00:38:51] Speaker A: I don't care.
[00:38:52] Speaker C: I heard you wanted to say something about this episode of everybody loves Raymond. Robert moves back.
[00:38:58] Speaker A: Yeah, but the brain damage has made me forget. Fuck you, Mike.
[00:39:02] Speaker B: I'll get your glass if it's last thing.
[00:39:04] Speaker C: Why are you feuding with this woman?
Let's start.
[00:39:08] Speaker B: I saw her on the bike. She called me and asked.
[00:39:10] Speaker C: Just because she was on a bike and called you that you would be feuding with everyone in town if that was the case.
[00:39:16] Speaker B: I'm feuding with most people.
[00:39:18] Speaker C: I've seen you drive on one wheel on the sidewalk and one wheel in the bike lane.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: Isn't that dope?
[00:39:25] Speaker C: No. That's pretty cool, Gladys.
Let me ask you, Amy. So Robert's in his apartment. He's eating directly out of a pot. Have you ever done that? First of all, I've done that with, like, Mac and cheese or something. Craft.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: Sure.
I've been on this earth 100 years.
[00:39:45] Speaker C: 100? Wow. You're even older than Greg, Mike.
[00:39:48] Speaker A: 98.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: Two years too many.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: He's my son.
[00:39:52] Speaker C: Wait, hold on. Two things.
You think she should have died at age eight?
[00:40:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:02] Speaker C: Do you guys have a history.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: Also? You're not my mom. My mom is dating Rudy. Julia.
[00:40:10] Speaker C: They're married.
[00:40:11] Speaker A: No.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: Oh, God, no. Don't do that.
[00:40:14] Speaker A: No.
[00:40:14] Speaker C: Although I hear there's been some.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: Greg is my son, agent.
[00:40:18] Speaker C: Greg is your son? I do hear, though, Mike, that there's been some tension between your parents since you changed your name again.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: Good.
[00:40:26] Speaker C: She's apparently looking for her. Know she likes to remarry. To match you. That was established almost a year ago.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: So what were you going to ask Gladys about Amy?
[00:40:37] Speaker C: First, I asked you, do you two have a history?
[00:40:41] Speaker A: Yeah, you almost hit me with the car. Just now.
[00:40:43] Speaker C: No, before that.
[00:40:44] Speaker A: No.
[00:40:44] Speaker C: Maybe 92 years ago.
[00:40:46] Speaker B: Asshole.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: She called me an asshole 92 years ago?
[00:40:50] Speaker B: No, like four minutes ago.
[00:40:52] Speaker C: Okay, let me change the question. Why do you wish she died when she was eight?
[00:40:58] Speaker B: Because then I wouldn't have to deal with her today. I don't see what the issue is here.
[00:41:03] Speaker C: Why don't you just wish that she was? I wish you lost the race to.
[00:41:06] Speaker A: The egg in the womb.
[00:41:09] Speaker C: Wait, Gladys, I think I recognize you, actually.
You were on the COVID of the Limbrook Sentinel as like, limbrook's highest paid surrogate, 19 something. I don't remember the number, but I saw that in the archives. And I think if I remember correctly, the woman standing next to you, beaming, holding a baby, was Mrs. H. Mike was Gladys.
[00:41:37] Speaker B: Don't do this to me.
[00:41:38] Speaker C: Your surrogate mother.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: Don't do this to me.
[00:41:41] Speaker A: Don't do this to me. Don't do this to me. Adam, I don't want.
[00:41:45] Speaker C: I'm sorry to bring you guys back.
[00:41:46] Speaker A: I don't want this.
[00:41:47] Speaker C: You mentioned him making it to the egg. I guess she.
[00:41:52] Speaker B: There's only one way to know for sure. Gladys, what is your last name?
[00:41:55] Speaker A: Greg. Because. Yeah, I'm his.
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Oh, okay, good.
[00:42:00] Speaker C: Well, but Mike, it's a g. My.
[00:42:02] Speaker B: Mom has an H last name.
[00:42:03] Speaker C: Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
All right, we'll move on from that. Despite the glaring flaws in your logic, I think I understand your relationship. Although it still doesn't explain why you wanted her dead. At eight.
Robert's eating directly out of a pot.
Amy.
And while he's doing this, the chin is back.
Right. Did you notice that after not having done it for like two seasons, the chin is returned? The chin is back. It's interesting that they would bring it back at this know. Robert compulsively tapping his spoon to his chin before he puts the food in his mouth.
Amy arrives. It's awkward. We find this out. We find out also that James's mother owns the car, which we didn't get an age. Maybe it's not unusual. Maybe he's like 21 and Amy's like, looking for a bit of a boy toy. Gladys, do you ever fool around with a younger man?
[00:43:10] Speaker A: How long you got?
[00:43:12] Speaker C: How long do I have to fool around or hear your story?
[00:43:15] Speaker A: I'm just saying we could turn a potential no into a yes.
[00:43:20] Speaker B: Whoa, hold on now with that one.
[00:43:23] Speaker A: He's a huge Dick, but I'm seeing two apples and one of them is ripe.
[00:43:30] Speaker C: Thank you. I'm married. Thank you. I appreciate it.
[00:43:35] Speaker A: All the good ones are.
[00:43:37] Speaker C: Thank you. Yeah. You're the first person who's ever said that about me. That's great. I feel like I'm in a romantic comedy.
So they start such a good life.
So Amy tells Robert that she knew it was Robert's speed trap and she told James to go there and she told James to drive faster.
[00:44:06] Speaker A: That's fucked up.
[00:44:08] Speaker C: I found it funny. And then it got really like the tension, the sexual tension got thick when Robert started playing along. Pretty girl like you, I would have let you off with a warning. And then they go to the bedroom and she tells him she's ready to lose that virginity. And Robert says, hold on.
[00:44:33] Speaker B: Or was the kiss really noisy?
[00:44:37] Speaker C: That might have been the settings on your.
Okay.
[00:44:41] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:44:42] Speaker C: I didn't notice anything.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: I saw that happen. I was like, that is the loudest kiss that I think I've seen on television.
[00:44:49] Speaker C: Admittedly. I was watching it on a phone, so maybe my speakers weren't tuned the same way as yours. Robert asks if she's ready know, go the extra mile, so to speak. And she says, robert, I've driven around long enough.
And that gets a big laugh from the audience. And then Shamsky. This is the point I'm trying to get to. Shamsky shuffles out of the bedroom after Robert kicks him out. Apparently, according to the IMDb trivia for this episode, this is the last time Shamsky has ever seen or mentioned on everybody loves Raymond.
[00:45:29] Speaker A: Holy shit.
[00:45:31] Speaker B: You're kidding.
[00:45:32] Speaker C: No.
[00:45:32] Speaker B: Season three.
[00:45:33] Speaker C: Season three.
According to somebody on IMDb. And it didn't have any thumbs down, so I assume it's accurate. But yeah, so we have to assume Amy was like, no, he ran away. No dog. I think Amy kicked him out.
[00:45:51] Speaker B: I think you're right.
[00:45:52] Speaker C: I think Amy drove him to a kill shelter and no, probably.
[00:45:57] Speaker B: I think that when Robert says, beat it, shamsky. Shamsky's like, okay. And home alone or no, not homeward. Bounds it in the reverse direction. He gets like a little pouch.
[00:46:11] Speaker C: Stretch the distance. A bindle.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: Yeah, Bindle. That's what I was looking for.
[00:46:18] Speaker C: Maybe, I don't know, maybe he walked across the hall and somebody, or maybe like the next morning someone was like, they called CPS on Robert and Amy for having boisterous sex in the presence of Shamski, who's a minor, child protective services. And somebody came and saved him from that.
[00:46:38] Speaker B: Or maybe he was abducted by the kinks in nine J.
What?
[00:46:45] Speaker C: I don't know where you're going with that.
[00:46:48] Speaker B: Basically to lure Robert over. Okay, that's what I was going.
[00:46:52] Speaker C: Okay, interesting. That would be an interesting strategy. So yeah, that's what I wanted to bring up is that this is the last time we ever see Shamsky. Gladys, what do you think about that? Do you ever have to say goodbye to a dog?
[00:47:05] Speaker A: No. The only dog I have is still with me.
[00:47:09] Speaker C: Really?
[00:47:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:11] Speaker C: When did you get him?
[00:47:12] Speaker A: 30 years ago.
[00:47:14] Speaker C: Wow, that's an old dog.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Yeah. He hasn't been moving much lately, like in the past six or seven years, but he's still good.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: How does he smell with his nose?
[00:47:27] Speaker C: Good one, Gladys. All right, Gladys, I'm going to give you a firm handshake, and Mike and I are going to go in here and try to do a little bit of crisis PR. You want to come with us or.
[00:47:38] Speaker A: I'm going to go smoke. Keep him on a leash.
[00:47:42] Speaker B: Yeah, you smoke camels? Because I got one for you.
[00:47:46] Speaker A: I smoke cigarettes, dumbass.
[00:47:49] Speaker C: Gladys, you are full of these, like snappy von Ville comebacks.
You're funny.
[00:47:59] Speaker A: Thanks.
[00:47:59] Speaker C: You know what? Why don't you and Mike stay out here and smoke in the car with the windows rolled up? I'll go inside. Don't worry. Just, you know, have a good time. All right.
[00:48:13] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I got myself with that one.
[00:48:16] Speaker C: That was very funny. Okay. Alex, you did great for the first couple of hours. That was good.
I don't think he has anything on you. I mean, you're totally in the clear as far as I'm concerned. But just in case he brings know what you did after what you did, I think he might have something with for it. Seems like he's leading that way. Jennifer, what do you think? Do you think he's going, like, the obstruction route?
[00:48:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that that's his best option. I think that if she doesn't do that. If he doesn't do that, he's kind of got screwed up a paddle. Because technically speaking, napalm is classified as a weapon, and everybody knows about the Second amendment constitutional right to bear arms. So we're fine on that front. And I think that technically, there's some light trespassing, some light treason. But it's okay. I think that we can work a way around that with a sympathetic jury.
[00:49:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I think he's not going to go for those smaller, fish like treason. He'll definitely try to do an obstruction of justice kind of prosecution. But the important thing is, what he needs for that is he needs to know your state of mind, Alex. So you can't give him anything.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:49:30] Speaker C: You just got to plead that fifth. Say, I don't recall. I don't know, maybe stuff like that.
[00:49:37] Speaker A: What if he asks me my opinion about this week's episode of everybody loves Raymond? I can't not talk about it.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: You probably need to keep your mouth shut.
[00:49:47] Speaker A: I can't. I just simply can't.
[00:49:50] Speaker B: Listen.
[00:49:50] Speaker C: Jennifer slapped you across the.
[00:49:56] Speaker A: Other. You got to do the other cheek bounce.
I did, like a handstand real quick.
[00:50:05] Speaker B: I was really impressive. I'm not going.
[00:50:08] Speaker C: That was really good.
[00:50:09] Speaker B: That scared me a little bit.
[00:50:11] Speaker C: If this does go to trial, do that in front of the jury, because I think that's going to probably turn the tide.
[00:50:16] Speaker B: That's definitely going to get you some points. But my point is, you got to listen. You are not in a state of mind to be giving opinions on anything, least of all your opinion on this week's episode of everybody loves Raymond. That's your entire livelihood. Okay? Anything you give away might give him a hint into the stuff that you did behind the scenes. And that is where we get fucked. You understand?
[00:50:40] Speaker A: Uh, so can I talk about this week's episode or. No.
[00:50:44] Speaker C: Here's the thing. I feel like it'd be clear, Alex. He starts off with a question like, oh, what do you think about all the people who came up to Robert in the hallway? What do you think about the kinks in nine J? And then before you know it, he's asking, did you or did you not drag the carcass from one side of the lake to the.
He. He will get into those things through everybody loves Raymond. So you got to be really careful that you don't let him. I'm going to differ from Jennifer. I'm going to offer a little bit of devil's advocate. That's a lawyer term.
And I'm going to say, answer it until it starts to feel like he's leading. And then you back off, do this. Throw your hands up in the air, and.
No, I plead the fifth. That's my advice.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: Okay. Do I have to plead the other ones first? Do I have to plead one through four first?
[00:51:42] Speaker C: I think, actually, we're going to want to steer clear of the first because freedom of speech.
[00:51:47] Speaker A: No, that's like the opposite of what we want.
[00:51:51] Speaker C: A tight lid on the speech. Religion. I wouldn't even go there, because I have a feeling this guy is. I don't know.
[00:51:57] Speaker A: He prays.
[00:51:58] Speaker C: He prays, but I just don't know. More ways than one. Yeah, he seems incredibly religious.
What else is in there? Assembly? No, absolutely not. Not with what you did. You do not want to talk about assemblages.
The press again, don't talk to the press. No press.
[00:52:17] Speaker A: I already talked to the press.
[00:52:19] Speaker C: Why didn't you talk to us first?
[00:52:21] Speaker A: We had a whole press conference. It was at the beginning of this episode.
[00:52:26] Speaker C: Wait, are you recording this? You're going to need to cut this out, Alex, because this is all admissible.
[00:52:31] Speaker A: I'll tell Adam to do that. I won't forget.
[00:52:33] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:52:34] Speaker C: Yeah, we trust you.
Second, I don't know. Do you still have the gun that we gave you? If anyone ever asks you to.
[00:52:43] Speaker B: Do you have the napalm?
[00:52:44] Speaker A: I have the gun. I think I left it outside after I threatened to shoot someone with.
[00:52:51] Speaker C: Not going to. Don't mention that. And cut that out from this, too, because that is was.
[00:52:56] Speaker A: It was.
[00:52:58] Speaker B: That's. That's guns and that's guns and speech.
[00:53:00] Speaker A: And I think it is on the news right now.
[00:53:02] Speaker C: Hopefully it wasn't on CNN. I saw Andy Cohen walking around with those coronas earlier. You know what that portends? He was loaded. Yeah.
[00:53:12] Speaker B: Have you or have you not slept with the army?
[00:53:15] Speaker C: Oh, did you talk about the fourth?
[00:53:17] Speaker A: The entire army?
[00:53:18] Speaker B: I thought that was the third.
[00:53:20] Speaker C: What's the one with the soldiers coming out? Have we had this conversation before?
[00:53:25] Speaker A: That is the third.
[00:53:26] Speaker B: That's definitely three.
[00:53:27] Speaker C: Feel like we've had this exact conversation.
[00:53:32] Speaker A: I feel like you both should know this. You're both lawyers.
[00:53:35] Speaker B: Search and seizure.
[00:53:37] Speaker C: Forest search and seizure. Three. Which one is the one where senators are directly elected?
[00:53:42] Speaker B: Eight.
[00:53:44] Speaker C: I think it's 17, actually. Hold on, Alex. Basically, the other ones don't apply. Okay?
[00:53:52] Speaker B: The other ones don't matter.
[00:53:53] Speaker C: The other ones don't matter. So you're just going to want to stick with the fifth. Maybe if he offers you a drink, plead the 18th, which is prohibition, I think. Maybe.
And if he tries to get Jennifer to vote for something, plead the 20th.
Wait, no, that's the opposite. Plead the negative 20th. What a lot of people don't know about the constitution is that there are the amendments and they're the negative amendments, which are the opposite.
[00:54:20] Speaker A: They cancel each other out. I think I got it. I'm ready to go in.
[00:54:25] Speaker C: Okay. All right.
[00:54:26] Speaker B: Okay. Now remember, don't tell him anything.
[00:54:30] Speaker A: I won't.
[00:54:31] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:54:31] Speaker A: I go in.
[00:54:32] Speaker C: We'll wait out here.
[00:54:34] Speaker A: You got it. I open the door. Let's talk about Robert's pants.
[00:54:39] Speaker B: Oh, man.
[00:54:40] Speaker A: That's the last thing the lawyers hear.
[00:54:42] Speaker B: Before I close the was. You interrupted me here. I was almost done with this here puzzle. You see, it's tic tac toe board with two out of three x's and an O in a completely other location.
All right, I was almost done. But I'm here to talk about Robert's pants. Those are some big old knickers they were big pants.
[00:55:04] Speaker A: Or Amy's just small.
[00:55:07] Speaker B: Amy is kind of tiny, but those were some still pretty big pants.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Let's just talk about that whole scene because. Oh my God, comedy. So the whole Marie coming in, she hears something in the basement. We know what's up. We know what's coming. It echoes from the beginning of the episode. She freaks out, she runs up, and then Robert follows, only wearing a shirt, which is hilarious because it also implies that he was wearing it while they were having good old sex, which.
[00:55:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought the implication might have been that he was like, doing it. Like he threw on the shirt readily. But the shirt was, and I don't think he.
[00:55:49] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I feel like if he was naked, he would have just thrown on his undershirt. But I think he had that on under the cop.
[00:55:58] Speaker B: But shirt. That being said, I will say he is wearing some underwear.
[00:56:02] Speaker A: He is wearing underwear.
[00:56:03] Speaker B: See him as.
[00:56:04] Speaker A: He's probably threw that on.
[00:56:05] Speaker B: Flash of the title.
[00:56:06] Speaker A: Unless he was doing the old fashioned snake through the curtains.
[00:56:13] Speaker B: He probably put those on.
[00:56:16] Speaker C: Sorry, Alex camp. Don't mention the snake through the curtains. Sorry, we're just listening at the door.
[00:56:23] Speaker B: You're going to mention whatever he can. He got the first amendment.
[00:56:25] Speaker C: Let us know if you want us to come in. I'm about to beat Jennifer Tic tac toe. So only if you really need us. Okay, we're good.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: I'm going to get you a tic tac toe. Don't you?
[00:56:35] Speaker A: Then the real crux of the joke happens when Amy comes up wearing Robert's pants, which just alludes to so many questions, right? She clearly did not have any clothes on, which makes sense, but her clothes were probably there, right? Why'd she throw on Robert's pants? To chase like that's just so embarrassed. Like throw on a shirt and your pants real quick. It'll take like 2 seconds.
[00:57:02] Speaker C: Look, I get it.
[00:57:03] Speaker A: It's hilarious. I loved it.
The logic here is confusing me.
[00:57:07] Speaker B: No, you make a lot of shiny threat there, young sir. Yeah, I would say I agree with you there.
I got another barone to pick with you. I want to back up a minute.
What do you think? Do you think Robert was violating Raymond's privacy or Raymond's hospitality by having doing the fricky frack in the basement of his brother's house?
[00:57:30] Speaker A: I don't.
[00:57:31] Speaker B: Was this cross?
[00:57:32] Speaker A: I think Robert kind of crossed the line a little, maybe even a little earlier. Him and like them hanging out in the basement like a teenage couple is.
[00:57:44] Speaker B: Kind of cute, because I was also thinking, teenage couple?
[00:57:47] Speaker A: Yeah, they're kind of, like, back into it. But I feel like it's not a good way to act when you are owing someone because Raymond's letting them stay in his house because of the situation they got themselves in.
He was not at fault at this at all, which is.
[00:58:09] Speaker C: Excuse me. Hey, Alex. It's me, Orlando Jones from LPR. I just wanted to come in because I heard you. I don't know if you know this, but you're holding the intercom button down, so everyone in town hall is hearing your conversation.
Just saying that. And then also, I heard you're talking about the scene with Robert and Amy in the basement when Ray comes in. And that not being very hospitable. I'm actually working on my review of the episode. I don't know if you've been to our website. We do reviews, like, really long form, very detailed reviews about the episodes that we post every week when you guys play them. And I'm responsible for those.
Sir, are you pouring a corona over there? Oh, you're pouring.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: Absolutely.
I got bored during your conversation. Not sad to get.
[00:59:04] Speaker C: I was just saying I found that scene a little sad, actually. I felt sad for Raymond because, like you were saying, he is inviting them into his home and giving Robert a place to stay because of his shame over the. Just want to make sure that's clear. Because of his shame over the whole apartment complex, knowing that he and Amy were having sex, it made me feel sad for Ray. I felt like they were kind of bullying him. When he comes down to use his computer and do his job, and then the printer jams, I think he gets more embarrassed than frustrated, and it leads to actual material damage, like the printer falling on the ground. I feel bad for Ray.
[00:59:51] Speaker A: No, I got you. And don't get it twisted.
Ray deserves basically all the blame we give him on our show. And also, I'm sure in your didn't. I didn't really particularly feel like Ray was too in the wrong at all in this episode. But also, to be fair, this episode wasn't really about him.
[01:00:14] Speaker C: No, you're right.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: Which is probably why I don't feel like he's to blame. But, yeah.
[01:00:21] Speaker B: Okay. I appreciate that. I think that this analysis is pretty good. On a scale of violation, do you think Marie violated Moore by bringing lasagna over to Robert? Or do you think Ray violated Robert Moore by telling Marie that Robert was at the know?
[01:00:43] Speaker C: I'll leave that question to you, Alex. I just mainly wanted to come up here, bring that scene up, talk through that issue, and then also tell you that, you know, the generic 70s like rock music that Robert and Amy are jamming on.
[01:00:57] Speaker A: I do.
[01:00:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:00:59] Speaker C: We have that guy coming in for. We have our series of concert videos that we put out. Giant desk. I don't know if you've heard of. Maybe you've seen them. We have bands come and play in a drawer of a giant desk.
That guy's coming. Nobody knows his name. He wasn't credited. We just put a call out and he accepted. So just. I wanted to plug that.
[01:01:22] Speaker B: I got a question.
[01:01:23] Speaker C: I want to plug that in. David Rubenstein. What?
[01:01:26] Speaker B: Backing up to the names of the people in the extras and stuff like that. Did they have a name in the script for the pervs and non J? Or was it like, literally just pervert couple?
[01:01:36] Speaker C: This is interesting, actually. I have done extensive research on this, and we'll get back to your question about Marie bringing the lasagna over. But I want to tell you.
[01:01:45] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll cross that bridge.
[01:01:47] Speaker C: I think someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time we've ever had a man number one, man number two, man number.
Like character naming convention in an episode of everybody loves Raymond.
[01:02:03] Speaker A: Really?
[01:02:04] Speaker C: A lot of times, because we often don't have multiple unnamed characters in these episodes.
But this one, everyone was credited as man number one, man number two, man number three, and woman. So I gathered, based on matching their photos, that man number three and woman are the swingers.
[01:02:25] Speaker B: Got you.
[01:02:26] Speaker A: Good for woman.
[01:02:27] Speaker C: I suppose you would want to know anything about them or the other people.
[01:02:32] Speaker B: Do you have information?
[01:02:33] Speaker A: Well, my usual encyclopedia beta boy is not here.
Sure, I'll take the info.
[01:02:43] Speaker C: Okay.
Encyclopedia beta boy.
[01:02:48] Speaker B: That's a grippy ending.
[01:02:49] Speaker A: That's what I have him as on my phone.
[01:02:52] Speaker C: Ebb. So we've got three men and one woman who approach Robert and Amy in the hallway after they have their love making and are giggling and they're at the elevator. The man who comes out of the elevator is Lawrence Lejon, which is a fantastic name. That's man number one.
He was on a bunch of sitcoms in the 90s. He was on Seinfeld. He was on. Yes, dear. If anyone's interested in that 9210 X Files, we've got something called women stories of passion, which is an interesting title. Very. For me, it was intriguing, I'll say that. To say the least. He was in the Miley Cyrus movie so undercover.
Okay. Not getting any reaction from that one. What about.
[01:03:41] Speaker B: I cannot say that I'm deep on Miley Cyrus's discography outside of the Hannah Montana franchise.
[01:03:47] Speaker A: I would like to say same.
[01:03:49] Speaker C: That would be a filmography, not to correct you, but discography referring to.
[01:03:55] Speaker B: This is why I hate the press. They come in here, they act all smarmy because they have degrees and brains and it sucks. But I'll tell you what. Can you solve this puzzle? I don't think so.
[01:04:07] Speaker C: Yeah, I just put the X in the bottom right corner.
[01:04:09] Speaker B: Shut up.
[01:04:11] Speaker C: I thought you had been interested in that being because we all heard you try to be undercover before.
[01:04:17] Speaker B: How did you hear it?
[01:04:19] Speaker A: You also had the button down.
[01:04:23] Speaker C: Maybe you're interested in one of Lawrence Lejon's early roles as House of hamburgers manager in the movie Fat beach. That's ph Fat.
[01:04:32] Speaker A: Wow. That means it's cool.
[01:04:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it sounded pretty cool. We're actually doing a screening of that at Lincoln center with a live orchestra later this month. But you've got to be platinum circle donor to get advanced tickets. General on sale will be in a few weeks.
[01:04:49] Speaker A: I'm a sperm donor. Does that count?
[01:04:51] Speaker C: Actually, you'd be surprised. But we have an arrangement with Limbrick Sperm bank where anyone who donates more than five liters can.
[01:05:02] Speaker A: That's great. I'm on my second gallon, so that's perfect.
[01:05:05] Speaker C: That qualifies you as a gold circle member.
[01:05:09] Speaker A: Five liters.
[01:05:11] Speaker B: That'll have to be in one sit.
[01:05:13] Speaker C: No, it's within a calendar year.
[01:05:16] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[01:05:18] Speaker C: And then obviously, you've got to renew every year.
[01:05:20] Speaker A: Yeah, they've got the rewards card. It's a whole thing.
[01:05:25] Speaker C: We've got some people who've set up legacy giving through their estate, through that program, which is interesting. It involves a lot of pre work. And then you have to invest it, obviously, so that it pays the dividends. It was very generous.
[01:05:43] Speaker B: That's fucking five liter bottles of coke.
Of come. That's fucking disgusting.
[01:05:52] Speaker A: They're not for drinking.
Wow.
[01:05:56] Speaker C: That is how they deliver it, though. And they do to us. We verify, and then we issue the card and send it back.
[01:06:02] Speaker A: What, they refill used coke bottles?
[01:06:05] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Well, it's very sustainable. So what they do is they're glass.
[01:06:09] Speaker A: I feel like we're getting off track.
[01:06:11] Speaker C: Sure. God, that's fucking nasty, Greg. It sounds like you find that pretty Grosso. Like, Rich Grosso, who played man number two in this episode. Rich Grosso, who was credited as Rich Batista, but I guess he changed his name to Rich Grosso. He's the man who comes up and says that Robert and Amy interrupted his Bible study.
For whatever reason, this was the last thing this guy did before a ten year hiatus from acting. But he came back in 2009, and he came back in a big way. He's worked really consistently since then. I guess, like, Obama inspired him. Hope and change and everything. He's like, I'll get back into acting. He often plays cops, cabbies and dead guys, which.
[01:06:58] Speaker A: Oh, my.
[01:06:59] Speaker C: He played a pay pig on euphoria. Do you guys know what a pay pig is?
[01:07:04] Speaker A: I don't even know what euphoria is.
[01:07:06] Speaker C: It's a show about teens, and it sounds like it's going to be fun.
[01:07:11] Speaker B: But it's not about drugs, mostly.
[01:07:15] Speaker C: Agent Greg, do you know what a pay pig is?
[01:07:18] Speaker B: Do you pay the pig?
[01:07:20] Speaker C: No, the opposite, actually.
[01:07:23] Speaker B: The pig pays you well.
[01:07:24] Speaker C: For what? Provided you're a yes.
[01:07:29] Speaker A: Oh, I have a friend who knows about that.
[01:07:31] Speaker C: Yeah, your friend Mike?
[01:07:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:07:36] Speaker C: If you're Mike. So that's good. That's quite a trajectory from Bible study guy to pay pig, don't you think?
[01:07:44] Speaker B: We all contain multitudes.
[01:07:46] Speaker C: John Harnagel, man number three. That's the male swinger. Golden Girls, Melrose Place, Malcolm in the middle. Star Trek Enterprise. Worked consistently until 2007.
Desperate housewives still seems to do theater in LA, but not much of a web presence for Mr. Harnagel. Sherry Shaw, though.
Woman. She's the lady swinger. We got our. Sorry. You got your er, Alex. So good to know. There she was on this and the nanny in the same year. I don't know if she was playing a swinger in that, too. You know, they're the same universe, or maybe canonically she has a twin. Family matters. Saved by the bell. The new class. What's really interesting about Sherry Shaw, though, she is an acting teacher, and she has a very nice website.
Her past clients have included Tay Diggs.
Quote, sherry Shaw is a stone cold powerhouse. She's a really well sought after acting teacher.
[01:08:54] Speaker A: How about that?
[01:08:55] Speaker C: Names on that website.
[01:08:56] Speaker B: That's great. I'll take her.
[01:08:59] Speaker C: I feel like, Greg, like she'd have you.
[01:09:01] Speaker B: I lost some steam. I'll be 100%.
[01:09:04] Speaker C: Do not seem like you care.
[01:09:06] Speaker B: I'm 85 years old. I don't really.
[01:09:08] Speaker C: Oh, that's a scoop. I know.
[01:09:10] Speaker B: You guys.
[01:09:13] Speaker C: I got to go take this to a morning edition. Hopefully they'll take this one. They don't take a lot of ours. We're like an NPR member, but we're like the minor league, so we're trying to work our way up there.
[01:09:24] Speaker B: I understand. I understand you got to do what you got to do. But just know you're dead to me.
[01:09:29] Speaker C: I don't care.
[01:09:31] Speaker B: You're dead to me.
[01:09:32] Speaker C: You don't mean anything to me. I'm sorry.
[01:09:35] Speaker B: I'll set the entire FBI on your ass. We'll get you.
[01:09:38] Speaker C: Will I see you at Fat beach?
[01:09:40] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[01:09:41] Speaker C: All right. Bye bye.
[01:09:44] Speaker A: I feel like.
[01:09:45] Speaker B: Alex, I have a couple other questions for you.
[01:09:47] Speaker A: That's fine.
[01:09:47] Speaker B: Primarily among them, could you talk to us more about your ties to Moscow and how you obtained that much plutonium?
[01:09:55] Speaker C: Sure. But first, hi.
I'm just casually leaning on your reception desk to ask if I could speak to your editor in chief.
[01:10:07] Speaker A: Editor in chief?
[01:10:09] Speaker C: He's busy.
[01:10:11] Speaker A: Is this important?
[01:10:13] Speaker C: It's very important. I'm from the office of the mayor of Limbrook.
[01:10:18] Speaker A: Oh, the office of the mayor of. Oh, that's like being from the.
I don't know. I'm typing. I can't think of a funny thing to say.
[01:10:27] Speaker C: Let me see if he's available.
[01:10:28] Speaker A: Kring ring boss, are you there?
There's a guy here, he's from politics. He wants to talk to you. Oh, is that so?
Wow, 17 inches. That's pretty good.
[01:10:47] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:10:49] Speaker B: Love you too, dad.
[01:10:52] Speaker A: Yeah, he could see you.
[01:10:54] Speaker C: Okay, just in there, that door.
[01:10:57] Speaker A: Door on the right. The door on the left is a bathroom and exercise space.
[01:11:05] Speaker C: The door on the left is a bathroom and exercise.
[01:11:09] Speaker B: And exercise.
[01:11:10] Speaker A: Well, yes, because it's taco Tuesday.
[01:11:12] Speaker C: Who are you?
[01:11:15] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I was just sitting here reading this pamphlet, tic tac toe up weekly, and I overheard that they had the bathroom and exercise space and it was pretty impressive. I'll go back to reading.
[01:11:28] Speaker C: Are you waiting for someone or.
[01:11:30] Speaker B: I have an appointment at four.
[01:11:32] Speaker A: It's 1130.
[01:11:33] Speaker C: Yeah. You're a little early. Do you want to come with? Are you trying to meet the editor? Because you can come with me, right? He can come with me, right? No, I mean, but he can though. He's got to wait. But he.
[01:11:47] Speaker A: Like, in a literal, physical sense, I guess, yeah. He could accomplish.
[01:11:52] Speaker C: Okay, so come on. Come with me. Come on, let's go.
[01:11:56] Speaker A: If my dad wasn't the boss, I'd be fired.
[01:11:59] Speaker C: What's your name before we go in?
[01:12:02] Speaker B: I'm Eric.
[01:12:03] Speaker C: Hi, Eric. I'm Adam. I'm from the mayor's office. Do you know about the mayor of, uh.
[01:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, he's the guy that. He did a lot of bad things today, didn't he?
[01:12:13] Speaker C: Well, that's kind of why I'm here.
No, we're not talking about it. And that's kind of why I'm here. I'm here to try to get them to kill this story.
Do you think this is enough? I brought $130,000.
You think that's too low?
[01:12:37] Speaker B: No, I think that's a bit of a stickler. Here, you know what? Let me count that for you, okay?
[01:12:41] Speaker C: Here, you hold this and count it. And we're going to go inside.
[01:12:45] Speaker B: Eric books it.
[01:12:46] Speaker C: What?
[01:12:46] Speaker B: Eric. Eric runs.
[01:12:48] Speaker A: Go.
[01:12:49] Speaker C: Dude.
[01:12:50] Speaker A: Hey, that guy stole your money.
[01:12:51] Speaker C: Okay, hold to. He's waiting for the elevator. I'll just stroll up to. Eric, what the fuck, man?
Give me that.
Kick you in the nuts. God damn it.
[01:13:03] Speaker B: No, you can't do that.
[01:13:05] Speaker C: Well, I haven't, so you count yourself lucky. Thank you for giving me back. What?
[01:13:10] Speaker B: No, this is my money. This is my money.
[01:13:11] Speaker C: Why are you trying to gaslight me? Hey.
[01:13:13] Speaker A: Why are you taking his.
[01:13:21] Speaker B: Money?
[01:13:22] Speaker C: No, there's a lot of confusion going on. Let's get back to basics. Let's get back to basics, Eric, remember the kindness I did for you. You were five and a half hours early for your appointment. I let you come in with me. Or I was about to.
[01:13:38] Speaker B: Four and a half.
[01:13:39] Speaker C: No, you're here. It's a let. Maybe.
[01:13:44] Speaker B: Well, see, you know what? This is even more reasonable. You should let me count your money.
[01:13:49] Speaker C: I don't trust you to do that anymore. Look, last chance.
Call off this guy.
[01:13:55] Speaker B: All right? I'll go talk to the editor.
[01:13:57] Speaker C: Come with me and give me back that money.
All right, let's go.
Knock, knock.
[01:14:06] Speaker B: Come in.
[01:14:07] Speaker A: I'm the editor. Robble, robble, robble. I edit.
[01:14:14] Speaker C: Are you for real?
[01:14:16] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:14:18] Speaker C: Okay. All right. Hi, I'm Adam. I'm from the mayor's office. We spoke on the phone.
[01:14:24] Speaker A: I know who you are, Adam.
[01:14:26] Speaker C: Eric, does this guy seem all right to you? He kind of.
[01:14:29] Speaker B: He seems very tight.
[01:14:30] Speaker C: He seems like automatony.
[01:14:33] Speaker B: Seems very weird.
[01:14:35] Speaker C: Is that a ponytail or a bundle of cables coming out of.
It's probably fine.
[01:14:42] Speaker A: You guys are whispering more than reference.
[01:14:49] Speaker C: He's funny.
[01:14:50] Speaker B: All right. I think this guy is.
[01:14:52] Speaker C: Well, he's either a real person with a very dry meta sense of humor or, I mean, let's hear him out. Maybe he is.
[01:15:02] Speaker A: When you guys talk about me like that, it makes me feel emotion.
[01:15:07] Speaker C: Okay, interesting. That's something that a person would say people do feel.
[01:15:12] Speaker B: That is true.
[01:15:12] Speaker C: All right.
[01:15:13] Speaker B: Talking about me behind my back do make me feel emotion.
[01:15:15] Speaker C: Does that happen to you often? We can talk about that later, sir. I'm here because I would like to politely request that you do not publish a story about what the mayor did, at least until we have a little bit of time to put things back together. A little bit.
[01:15:37] Speaker A: Oh, please don't make me laugh.
The truth is, this story is going to be great for our services. Just like that last time, for example. Give example.
[01:15:53] Speaker B: I remember that.
[01:15:54] Speaker C: I feel like. Well, okay, maybe I can change your mind by offering you a little incentive.
Let's call it a tax credit for your business. Give me the back. Give me the back.
Here. This is a little bit of tax incentive for you to. Pushing money across that. This is money. I'm pushing it across the table?
[01:16:24] Speaker A: Yes. This all looks acceptable. He starts putting the bills in his mouth one at a time, and it goes in like a vending machine.
One.
[01:16:35] Speaker C: This is good. Two, bulked. If he bulked, I'd be worried.
[01:16:41] Speaker A: Hang on. This one is not straight.
Three.
[01:16:49] Speaker C: Okay, good sign.
[01:16:51] Speaker B: Do you do all singles? $430,000.
[01:16:54] Speaker C: It's a mix. It's 100 singles, nine.
And then the rest is fives, 14. And there's 100 in there as sort.
[01:17:06] Speaker A: Of, like 114, 115, 120.
[01:17:16] Speaker C: Okay. Yes.
[01:17:17] Speaker A: That was one of the 5121.
[01:17:21] Speaker C: Hey, receptionist?
[01:17:23] Speaker A: Yes?
[01:17:25] Speaker C: You said this was your dad?
[01:17:28] Speaker A: Yeah, of course. Oh, God damn it. Dad snuck out and let the robot. He doesn't like to have meetings.
[01:17:34] Speaker C: Okay, well, does the robot have, like, authority to sign off on things?
[01:17:39] Speaker B: I guess.
[01:17:39] Speaker A: I mean, he's over there eating your money.
[01:17:42] Speaker C: No, that's okay.
[01:17:42] Speaker A: 200.
[01:17:44] Speaker C: Oh, he got through.
He's doing it fast when we're not watching him, and then when we are watching him, he's putting on more of a show.
[01:17:53] Speaker B: I mean, to be clear, 200 is still pretty far away from 130,000. We still got a long way to go here.
[01:18:00] Speaker C: All right. Yeah, that's a good point.
If we put the paper in front of him, the agreement that says he can't publish anything and he signs it, do we have to wait until he counts all the money? Because my friend is outside smoking in a car with a woman.
I kind of want to get back to him.
[01:18:22] Speaker A: Who smokes camels?
[01:18:25] Speaker B: This is a camel.
[01:18:26] Speaker A: This is a cigarette. I still don't understand.
You know, I'll let it go if you slip me one of those thousands.
[01:18:36] Speaker C: I will, but it's mostly singles, so I'm going to have to count them. I didn't bundle.
[01:18:42] Speaker A: Fine. I'm going to the strip club later anyway. Let me just grab a little bit of this.
[01:18:46] Speaker C: All right.
[01:18:46] Speaker A: I'm just going to whoops. I dropped the appropriate forms on the floor and I'm going to walk out of the door.
[01:18:53] Speaker C: Okay. Nice. That worked out well. Eric, what are you here for? Maybe we can work on your. My thing seems to be resolved.
[01:19:00] Speaker B: I have a question to ask the boss.
[01:19:02] Speaker C: What is it?
[01:19:04] Speaker B: Let me just. Excuse me, sir. Mr. Editor, sir.
[01:19:08] Speaker A: 201, take a little break.
[01:19:14] Speaker B: I have a very important question to ask you.
Could I have $128,000 processing question, please?
[01:19:25] Speaker A: Give reason.
[01:19:27] Speaker B: I want it.
[01:19:28] Speaker A: Reason being considered.
[01:19:32] Speaker C: He adopted a different voice.
[01:19:34] Speaker A: He's like, reason accepted.
[01:19:36] Speaker B: Oh, zoo.
[01:19:38] Speaker A: One.
[01:19:42] Speaker B: Two.
[01:19:44] Speaker C: I don't have time for this. I'm going to.
[01:19:48] Speaker B: Let me get this straight. Your uncle has ties to Libya, which is ties to Moscow.
[01:19:54] Speaker A: No, I said my uncle is a Debra. What?
[01:19:59] Speaker B: Oh, okay. No, I see.
[01:20:01] Speaker C: Just no comment.
[01:20:02] Speaker A: Don't worry. I'm lying. My uncle's a Capricorn.
[01:20:06] Speaker C: Wouldn't say that you're lying, because that is a crime.
[01:20:11] Speaker B: I got that on the record. Rot here, actually.
[01:20:14] Speaker C: Well, it was a joke. He was joking.
[01:20:16] Speaker A: Yes. He's actually a Sagittarius.
[01:20:19] Speaker C: He's got multiple uncles.
[01:20:21] Speaker A: He's got multiple uncles, and they're all Geminis.
[01:20:28] Speaker C: Let me turn the tables on you, investigator. How about some cross examination?
Now, you asked earlier. We got a little sidetracked with the Libya business.
You asked earlier.
[01:20:42] Speaker B: I feel like that's the main no present.
[01:20:45] Speaker C: You asked earlier about Marie bringing the lasagna over. So Robert is over at Ray's house. He has offered to let Robert stay there out of shame. All of these people in his apartment have approached him and said, robert, we saw you fucking. And they want him out. They've put up flyers and everything. Great. So Marie comes over in what is apparently the middle of the night while everyone is asleep with an entire lasagna. This is not leftover lasagna. This is an entire new lasagna that has been prepared separately from any food that Frank has had access to. As we can tell from Frank's lust for the lasagna.
Marie goes down into the basement. Me personally, while I was watching, know to prepare for this. I said, oh, no. Out loud.
And then we get the classic, like, farce thing of everybody running into the scene. We've got Ray and Deborah coming downstairs. We've got Robert coming upstairs, no pants.
Marie is distraught. Oh, why, Robbie? Why? How could you? In Raymond's basement? As if that is the worst part of this all. Then we see Amy run up to part of it. I noticed that there's no gun on the belt. The holster is empty. Because I was a little concerned about that.
[01:22:09] Speaker A: Where's the gun?
[01:22:11] Speaker B: I have a question.
[01:22:12] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:22:13] Speaker B: Were there handcuffs?
[01:22:14] Speaker C: I assumed not on the belt anymore.
[01:22:17] Speaker A: I'm sure handcuffs had been used, because.
[01:22:21] Speaker C: You know how it's well documented? Everyone, the second time they have sex, they go right to handcuffs.
[01:22:27] Speaker A: Come on. I mean, look, that's, like, the one good thing about dating a cop.
[01:22:32] Speaker C: Yes.
I want to call out Ray's line. Man, you just can't stop, can you? I thought that was funny. What did you think?
[01:22:40] Speaker B: I thought that was hilarious. Robert's got a public humiliation kind of kink, I guess.
[01:22:47] Speaker C: You think Robert engineered this?
[01:22:50] Speaker B: I think he did. I think he knew because both times that he decided to do the bingo boingo with the lady. I think that.
[01:22:59] Speaker C: Let me just get this for the record. You've called it the frica frack and the bingo boingo.
[01:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah. You and I called it.
[01:23:06] Speaker C: I'm trying to learn new euphemisms myself.
[01:23:09] Speaker B: What do you call it? What do you call it?
[01:23:11] Speaker C: I'm on a new app. It's not Duolingo. It's called Duolingo, but it's Deu.
And it's for people who want to learn new euphemisms.
What I call it is either making love, fucking, having sex, and doing it. So you can see why I'm trying to learn euphemism.
[01:23:39] Speaker B: You're a freak.
[01:23:40] Speaker C: Because it's inappropriate in setting your lawyer.
[01:23:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I trust him.
[01:23:48] Speaker C: He hired me right out of high school.
[01:23:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:23:51] Speaker B: So they do the dip it up. And I think for both of these guys, both of these times, Robert has hit it so that everybody gets to see it. I don't think that that's.
That ain't happening here in the FBI.
[01:24:07] Speaker C: I think in the first one, yes. At Robert's apartment. I feel like if the bed is visible from the window, the window must be visible from the bed, don't you think? So? He must have been able to see that it was open.
The other one, I don't think he had any way of anticipating that Marie would come downstairs with an entire lasagna. Although maybe there is an argument that from experience, he could have considered that as a possibility.
[01:24:41] Speaker B: He maybe should have. I agree.
[01:24:43] Speaker C: There's a non zero chance of Marie coming into anywhere.
[01:24:48] Speaker A: If Marie knows about the place you are. Like, even if it's Robert's apartment, there is a non zero chance she will just show up.
[01:24:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:24:58] Speaker A: So it's never safe to get laid.
[01:25:01] Speaker C: Let me ask you about Frank's dirty magazines. One playboy he says, marie says for 29 years. Who keeps pornography for 29 years?
I don't think it's out of line for me to say that. You are an older man. You look to be about 89 years old.
[01:25:23] Speaker B: You don't know that.
[01:25:24] Speaker C: What's the oldest piece of pornography in your possession today?
[01:25:30] Speaker B: That's a good question. I have a vintage taking out his drawing.
[01:25:36] Speaker A: A vintage cave drawing.
[01:25:38] Speaker B: Vintage cave drawing.
Back in the day of Uga and Thuga going at it right here.
[01:25:44] Speaker C: Is that one of your.
[01:25:48] Speaker B: Right there? That's Uga. He was a hunter. There's Thuga. She was a gatherer. They had a great time.
[01:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah, she certainly gathered something. And he sure hunted.
[01:25:58] Speaker B: Got a. I'll put that back in my briefcase. I carry that wherever I go. But I also got to tell you.
[01:26:04] Speaker A: The only thing in his briefcase.
[01:26:09] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right.
[01:26:11] Speaker B: It's got triple locks and everything.
[01:26:13] Speaker C: That in a pen thing about now.
[01:26:16] Speaker B: I need you guys to know is I don't believe that Frank has a playboy. I believe he has many. Playboys are like cockroaches. Where there's one, there's a thousand.
[01:26:26] Speaker C: You're saying there's only one playboy that Marie has found?
[01:26:30] Speaker B: Yeah, that is correct.
[01:26:32] Speaker A: I mean, look, Marie's pretty nosy. We know that Marie and Frank do get it on a, um. So I think it's actually like, stands to reason, like, maybe Frank only does have one nudie mag.
[01:26:46] Speaker C: You think he gets enough?
[01:26:49] Speaker A: I think he gets enough.
[01:26:52] Speaker B: Gets enough wood. I'm unclear.
[01:26:54] Speaker C: Let me try. Let me try.
[01:26:56] Speaker B: I believe in him. I believe in him.
Let's see what he's got. Let's see what he's got.
[01:27:02] Speaker C: Oingo, boingo.
[01:27:04] Speaker B: Oh, that's nasty.
[01:27:07] Speaker C: Did I do a nasty one?
[01:27:10] Speaker B: That's real nasty.
[01:27:11] Speaker C: I didn't want to be nasty.
[01:27:13] Speaker B: That's gross. This man over here, this guy's a freak. This guy's a freaking nature.
[01:27:18] Speaker C: Jennifer, don't look at me.
[01:27:19] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I did not know that about you.
[01:27:22] Speaker C: How do you feel about it?
[01:27:23] Speaker A: Oh, no. Get out.
[01:27:25] Speaker B: Oh, he said he don't want no lawyers. You guys keep skin at.
[01:27:28] Speaker C: Oh, OK. All right. We'll resolve this off screen.
[01:27:31] Speaker B: I want to play you in tic tac toe.
[01:27:33] Speaker A: Still freaking lawyers always romantically come together at inopt moments.
[01:27:39] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. So can we get back to Russia and Libya?
[01:27:44] Speaker C: Roll the window down.
That's.
[01:27:52] Speaker A: Did you know there was a cigarette called Camel?
[01:27:57] Speaker C: I think it's camel. Mike, we can go. It's resolved. I got the robot to sign off on it so it's not going to hit the press. At least not this one.
[01:28:09] Speaker B: Okay. Can Gladys come? She's dope.
[01:28:11] Speaker C: You and Gladys reconnected? And your friends now?
[01:28:15] Speaker A: No. I still hate this fucker, but he likes me.
[01:28:20] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:28:20] Speaker B: Damn. All right. I mean, I gave you some great cigarettes and I don't know, I thought we were hitting it off.
[01:28:27] Speaker A: You've destroyed my bike.
[01:28:31] Speaker B: Yeah. You deserve.
[01:28:32] Speaker A: And my pelvis.
[01:28:34] Speaker C: You also deserve that.
I don't know if the car is. You think it's still safe to drive?
[01:28:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, we can go. Let's go. Okay, get in.
[01:28:44] Speaker C: Wait, hold on. Can we let it air out a little bit? Can we just sit?
[01:28:48] Speaker B: We're gone.
[01:28:49] Speaker C: Oh, fuck. All right, I'll get in. God.
[01:28:56] Speaker A: Little smoke is healthy for podcast.
[01:29:00] Speaker B: I know you've seen the episode, Gladys, I don't feel the need to introduce you. You guys, one thing I want to talk about. Can we talk about when Robert walked in after he did the show for everybody? He came in and then Debra was looking real awkward and he was like, oh, you didn't tell anybody? And Ray came down the stairs to a grorious laughter. But Ray came down the stairs and what he said was, woo woo. That was weird, right?
[01:29:27] Speaker C: Oh, you mean when Robert came over.
[01:29:31] Speaker B: After getting kicked out of the apartment?
[01:29:32] Speaker C: After getting kicked out or getting shamed.
[01:29:34] Speaker B: Out of the apartment.
[01:29:35] Speaker C: Yeah. First of all, I like the line in that scene. A spouse automatically has the right to know that you deflowered a woman in front of your entire apartment building. That was a pretty good line.
[01:29:45] Speaker A: Checks out, I guess.
[01:29:46] Speaker C: So Deborah offers to let Robert stay with them. In this scene, Ray suggests Marie's, but Robert doesn't want them to know. Of course, we find out later that they find out, and it's a whole thing.
Ray's worries are that he'll stay with them for years, like he did after Robert, like Robert did after his divorce.
And then goes off on a long tangent about Robert's feet.
I want to ask. Robert takes one of Ray's pillows because down gives him nightmares. He says a goose will run right after you. What kind of pillows do you guys use, Gladys? Mike, I'm a memory foam gel kind of guy.
[01:30:30] Speaker B: You're one of those. One of those elites?
[01:30:32] Speaker C: I guess so.
I don't know.
[01:30:35] Speaker B: I don't use a pillow.
[01:30:37] Speaker C: Explain.
[01:30:41] Speaker B: I feel like I've explained. I just lie down and then I sleep.
[01:30:44] Speaker C: You lie down on the floor or on a bed?
[01:30:47] Speaker B: Depends on the day. Sometimes I lie down sideways with my.
[01:30:51] Speaker C: Head hanging off of the bed.
[01:30:57] Speaker B: Okay, so here's the thing, okay? You need to picture this. I don't think that you're understanding.
[01:31:00] Speaker C: We walk into your room, what do we see? A bed or.
[01:31:04] Speaker B: No, you see a bed.
[01:31:06] Speaker C: Okay. Sheets or, no, made, maybe.
[01:31:08] Speaker B: Not.
[01:31:09] Speaker C: Maybe. Made? Maybe.
[01:31:09] Speaker B: Depends on the season.
[01:31:10] Speaker C: Depends on the season.
[01:31:12] Speaker B: Depends on the season. Summer. I don't need sheets.
[01:31:14] Speaker C: Do you have any blankets?
[01:31:17] Speaker B: Yeah. When it's cold? Yeah, I got a blanket for when it's in the winter. I don't need more than that. Come on, what are we talking about?
[01:31:23] Speaker C: Is that where my dog blanket went? My dog has been looking for that blanket.
[01:31:29] Speaker B: Snooze, you lose. I'm sorry.
[01:31:30] Speaker C: He was. And you rolled him out of it like you were pulling a tablecloth off and leaving all the place.
[01:31:37] Speaker B: He snoozed, he lost. I don't see the problem here. I took the bed.
[01:31:41] Speaker C: All right. We see your bed unclothed with maybe.
[01:31:46] Speaker B: The blanket on top of it, depending on the season. Okay, so bedtime, I go to bed, I lie down.
[01:31:52] Speaker C: Okay, sleep. Where is your head?
[01:31:54] Speaker B: Or. Yeah, if I don't feel like the bed tonight by sleep on the floor next to it. Lie down. Sleep. Or if I don't feel like the bed, if I don't feel like the floor. What I do is I lie sideways, my head dangling off.
[01:32:08] Speaker C: So you're like half on, half off.
[01:32:11] Speaker B: My entire body is on my head off.
[01:32:14] Speaker C: I don't see how that's not feeling like the bed or the floor. That's mostly bed. That's like 90%.
[01:32:20] Speaker B: That's my body's in the bed. My head's on the floor.
[01:32:22] Speaker C: Yeah, your head's on the floor.
How high up is your mattress?
[01:32:28] Speaker B: Not very.
[01:32:30] Speaker C: One inch.
Is that where the. My mattress used to be eleven inches thick and now it's ten. I swear to God, it's ten. Did you cut an inch off of my mattress?
[01:32:41] Speaker B: You never would have been able to tell.
[01:32:43] Speaker C: I did because you did it off of the top and you did a. To call it an unclean cut would be an understatement. That's what they call me in college, an unclean cut.
An understatement?
[01:32:59] Speaker B: Yeah. No, not clean cut. They called me an unclean cut in college.
[01:33:03] Speaker A: Did the circumcisions go wrong?
[01:33:06] Speaker C: You got circumcised. Hold on, Gladys, do you have personal knowledge of that? Did you get circumcised in college?
I'm just guessing at Sarah Lawrence.
[01:33:16] Speaker A: Look at that face. That is the face of a circumcised man.
[01:33:19] Speaker C: I would say. Yeah.
[01:33:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:33:22] Speaker A: It's like that movie about the McDonald's. Circumcise me.
That's the right movie.
[01:33:30] Speaker C: Classic. Gladys.
Gladys, we've got to get you on the road.
You got to do these in front of an audience.
[01:33:40] Speaker B: So you see Alex and Doug Greg sitting down at the table with a blank tic tac toe board. It's just your move.
[01:33:53] Speaker A: Okay. Can I be X's this time?
[01:33:56] Speaker B: Yeah, you can be.
[01:33:59] Speaker A: I'm going to go in the top.
[01:34:06] Speaker B: I know just the counterplay for that. There you go. Right over there.
[01:34:10] Speaker A: Okay, well, may I kind suggestion, maybe try putting an O in one of the spaces.
[01:34:18] Speaker B: No, that's what you want me to do. Okay.
[01:34:20] Speaker A: I'll do an X in the middle.
[01:34:21] Speaker B: I'm seeing through your game, man.
[01:34:24] Speaker A: I'll do an X in the middle, then. Your move again.
[01:34:26] Speaker B: Oh, you're getting me. Okay. That's a good move. That's a good play. Good play.
Oh, here.
[01:34:33] Speaker A: Okay.
Yeah. On his face, on the forehead, is this sharpie.
And I'll do an X down here, and I win.
[01:34:46] Speaker B: All right. Hey, good game, good game. Draw it up again. Let's do another.
[01:34:49] Speaker A: Dude, we've played 30.
[01:34:51] Speaker C: He's been interrogating him for 6 hours.
[01:34:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sorry. I keep Mackie.
[01:34:58] Speaker C: Do you have everything you need? Because it seems like you have everything you.
I'm going to have to say as his lawyer now, flying solo, because apparently Jennifer was not interested.
I think he's done.
All right.
[01:35:16] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:35:17] Speaker C: We will look forward to hearing from your office, but as we've established, I think you've got nothing. He's fine.
We'll call it a know. Take a Dasani on your way out.
We got tiny Dasanis, the Marco Rubio.
[01:35:34] Speaker B: I'll get you one of these days and tic tac toe, and I'll get you arrested. But you escaped the.
[01:35:41] Speaker C: All right, Alex, I gotta go. I gotta go lay down. And I don't think I want to work here anymore.
[01:35:48] Speaker A: That's fine.
I think. You know what? We're probably at the point where we don't really need any lawyers. I think we're past all the really dramatic lawyer needing things.
[01:36:01] Speaker C: Okay. Do you want me to tell the others to.
[01:36:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:36:04] Speaker A: You know what? Get rid of all of them. You guys deserve a break.
No lawyers needed anymore. I got to go find my friends.
[01:36:13] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:36:14] Speaker A: I miss my friends.
[01:36:16] Speaker B: The door swings.
[01:36:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:36:18] Speaker B: I'm telling you, Adam, that is a perfectly fine left turn to make smoking.
[01:36:23] Speaker A: You can't make Mike when did you take up smoking?
[01:36:27] Speaker B: I don't. Oh, last week.
[01:36:29] Speaker C: Okay, you're smoking in the car, slamming the one star on Uber and Lyft, and the one that's just for women, which you shouldn't even be on. You shouldn't be on the women.
[01:36:39] Speaker B: Screw me over. Screw me over.
I got to make money somehow.
[01:36:44] Speaker C: If you gave me lung cancer, I swear to God, you know I'm an organ donor.
[01:36:49] Speaker B: Well, not anymore. They're not getting those organs.
You're welcome.
[01:36:55] Speaker C: Hi, Alex.
[01:36:57] Speaker A: How's it going?
[01:36:57] Speaker C: Guys, good news. The magazine, we shut it down.
I think I either talked to the editor in chief or put money in a vending machine, but it's done. It's fine.
[01:37:09] Speaker A: Great. And I totally handled things here.
[01:37:11] Speaker C: Mike reconnected with somebody whose name is escaping me. Gladys. Gladys, I'm still in the car.
[01:37:21] Speaker B: Shut up, Gladys.
[01:37:22] Speaker C: Wait, is that what that bump was? Mike, did you drive through the front of the town hall again?
[01:37:30] Speaker B: Well, everybody else was anyway. So what are we going to do? There were a lot of protests there earlier today.
[01:37:35] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:37:35] Speaker B: Okay, so listen, how about we close this out? I think that Anderson Cooper is finally free after.
[01:37:42] Speaker C: You mean Cohen?
[01:37:45] Speaker B: No, Andy Cohen is always fine. But I believe. Oh, yeah, the hospital situation with Mrs. Landingbake.
[01:37:52] Speaker C: Yeah, you remembered the.
[01:37:56] Speaker B: No, I remember. I buy her ham all the time. Not anymore, man. She's insane.
[01:38:00] Speaker C: But no, that's bad PR casualties. I might do some pro bono for her.
Crisis PR.
[01:38:07] Speaker B: That's very kind of you. How about we just dive right into the barometer?
[01:38:13] Speaker C: I mean, last thing we need to discuss. Last thing. Just the swingers. Robert, hot clothes Robert, come up in the elevator. Swingers waiting. I know, I know. You're in nine J. Great button on the episode. Of course.
[01:38:28] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[01:38:28] Speaker C: I don't think we said explicitly the swingers who came up wanting to invite Robert over for a night of fun in nine J. Great callback. Awesome. Okay, but the barometer is our scale from one to ten, on which we rate race performance as a husband. Brun.
[01:38:45] Speaker B: Brun.
[01:38:48] Speaker C: On which we rate race performance as a brun, with ten being the great dads of television history. Your Danny tanner's uncle Phil's, Carl Winslow's. Mike.
[01:38:58] Speaker B: I'm going to go grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls. That counts as a father figure?
[01:39:04] Speaker A: Yeah, he sucked.
[01:39:06] Speaker B: Yeah, he's fine.
[01:39:07] Speaker C: I don't know it.
[01:39:08] Speaker B: I give him ten out of ten.
[01:39:09] Speaker A: He is not a ten out of.
[01:39:10] Speaker B: Ten out of ten.
[01:39:13] Speaker A: Clean. Like six or seven.
[01:39:16] Speaker C: Mike, do a ten.
[01:39:19] Speaker B: Do a ten. Mike starts holding up ten papers.
[01:39:22] Speaker C: Gladys, give us a ten. Who's a ten out of ten?
[01:39:26] Speaker A: Me.
[01:39:29] Speaker C: A ten out of ten mom to somebody maybe question Greg. Oh, yeah, to Greg. To Greg for sure and only Greg.
[01:39:38] Speaker B: Where are your mom?
[01:39:39] Speaker C: Oh, they're reunited. They hugged in the car and they're both smoking now. The same.
[01:39:47] Speaker B: That they're, they're very close. Okay.
[01:39:49] Speaker C: Yeah, they're lady and tramping the same cigarette now. Wow.
With one being the bad men of television history, Don Drapers and Walter White's men who actively harm their families. Alex, give me a one.
[01:40:03] Speaker A: Adam, you give us a one. You never give us any.
[01:40:06] Speaker C: Okay, fine. I guess.
Who's a one? I'm going to say.
Wow. I wasn't ready for this, honestly.
[01:40:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Welcome.
[01:40:20] Speaker C: Well, you know, it's coming every time. It's not like it's a surprise.
Okay, a one from television. I'm going to go with, I believe when we last mentioned succession, we landed on Ken. So I'm going to go with Brian Cox. Logan. I'm going to go with Logan. Roy there. It's not so hard. I can do it. I'm smart.
For me though, I'm going to actually give Ray some decent points in this one. I think he let Robert stay over. He did complain a little, so I'm going to knock him for that. But I generally feel like this was a Robert episode and mean. I'm glad that he got to reconnect with Amy and they got back together.
And we didn't mention the climax of the episode. Marie being furious that Amy is no longer a good girl and Amy like standing up to her and then Deborah backing her up and basically know, no, Marie, you're wrong. We want Robert and Amy together. Great. And then Robert going after Amy.
If we were rating Robert, I think I would give him like an eight or nine. But we're rating Ray.
Pretty passive presence in this. I'm going to say seven because he did let Robert stay over after his traumatic puppet show. Alex, where's Ray? Coming in for you.
[01:41:55] Speaker A: Interesting. I think thing, the only issue I have with Ray is that he coerced Marie to come over to get Robert out of his house.
[01:42:07] Speaker C: Did he?
[01:42:08] Speaker B: Because.
[01:42:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Remember at the very end Robert or like Ray was like Marie or Ma. You were supposed to make it subtle.
[01:42:16] Speaker C: Oh, I forgot about that.
[01:42:18] Speaker A: Yeah, because Ray got her to come in.
[01:42:21] Speaker C: Sorry. Let me change mine. Then I'm going to go four.
[01:42:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
And that's kind of more where I'm leaning. He was very much like an observer for a lot of know. Obviously can't blame him for anything that happened between Robert and Amy in the apartment or on the road because he literally wasn't there.
But just for the parts he played, letting them stay is like, okay. But he was pretty reluctant. It was basically all Deborah being like, yeah, come in, do that.
And then, yeah, Ray.
Anytime Ray canoodles and comes up with his little schemes, I hate giving him anything over a five. I think I'm going to also give him a four.
[01:43:05] Speaker C: All right. Yeah, that sounds more like it.
[01:43:07] Speaker A: Inconsequential and also real dick move at the end.
[01:43:12] Speaker C: Company four. He didn't know that he was going know, expose Marie to.
[01:43:19] Speaker A: Yeah. But also he had her come over like late at night.
[01:43:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:43:24] Speaker A: Like what? They were either going to be sleeping or doing that.
[01:43:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:43:28] Speaker A: It's like, dude, have her come over at like two in the afternoon.
[01:43:31] Speaker C: That was a dick move. Actually. I'm going to go 3.5 the more I'm thinking about it. Because the motivation for that was he didn't want Robert to take his pillow and take his shoes off.
That's pretty low, Mike.
[01:43:49] Speaker B: I think that what we talked about with Ray telling his mom that his brother was there because he didn't like the stinky feet kind of sucks. That's not a very brotherly thing to do. So I'm going to give Ray. I'm going to give Ray pretty low here. I'm going to give him a 3.6 out of ten. Because I think that the 3.6. Yeah, it's not the worst that he's ever done, but also just, man, that's not what you do to your brother. It's kind of shitty.
[01:44:21] Speaker C: I agree. I think we have a consensus that despite being a very minor part of this episode, Ray still managed to fuck it up completely and be honestly, a terrible brun. Mike, what is the average of 3.54 and 3.63.5 plus four.
[01:44:45] Speaker B: Plus 3.6. That gives us an average of a 3.7 for this episode.
[01:44:51] Speaker C: That sounds pretty much right to me, actually, upon further reflection. So let's lock that in. Send that to Limbrick University.
Let me put that in the drive folder there. And we are good to go. All right, Alex. I would say that we've pretty much contained the damage and hopefully nobody. We have the local press here, but you know how slow they are. They're not going to get this out for a while. And by then people have moved, will have totally moved on. I think it'll be fine.
[01:45:21] Speaker A: Look, I mean, the end of the day. This is our one scandal. We don't have any other issues and nothing else can ever go wrong now because we got our one controversy out of the way.
There's no trouble brewing. We're good.
[01:45:39] Speaker C: Well, I guess that's it for us on everybody loves everybody loves Raymond for another week.
You can follow us at Barone on Facebook and at barone zone on Instagram.
And you can reach out to us at
[email protected]. Check out the Baronus Zonus. We've got 20. I think we're about to put out our 20th baronus, which is crazy considering we do them once a month, meaning we've been doing these for 20 months. Isn't that bizarre?
But yeah, that's it from us on everybody loves everybody loves Raymond, the only everybody loves Raymond rewatch podcast you should care to listen to. And we're going to be here forever. We're going to be here forever. We got our big season three finale coming up next week. We're going to wrap it up, finish strong with season three, episode 26, whatever. That's how they met. So come on back next week for that. We'll be diving deep.
[01:46:45] Speaker A: And sometimes things end up changing big time between seasons. But I think everything's going to work out great and nothing's going to change. And I think I'm going to keep, end up being mayor. We're going to keep things going strong.
No earth shattering changes.
[01:47:04] Speaker C: Next election isn't for, I think, six years. So that should carry us through the rest of the show.
[01:47:10] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, no big changes. Nothing surprising coming next week. Nothing at all.
[01:47:16] Speaker C: I think we just have one last thing to do, though, right?
[01:47:19] Speaker A: The classic sign off. Thank you so much for listening, everybody. And. Wait, who's that?
[01:47:25] Speaker C: Hold on, the chain is still on the.
Phil, hey.
[01:47:31] Speaker B: Hey, how you doing? It's me, Phil. Phil, you'll probably remember me from a couple of weeks ago. I'm the lawyer that was serving you guys lawsuits. Hey, okay, I'm just here and, hey, kind of my thing. Here's another lawsuit. You're getting sued from Paramount plus.
[01:47:48] Speaker C: We're being sued by Paramount plus. Just plus or the whole paramount. Paramount Global. Paramount network.
[01:47:54] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry. No, yeah, the whole organization. I'm sorry. This is the plus branch that is filing it. But I'm filing it on behalf of the whole organization.
[01:48:00] Speaker A: Okay, what do we do this time?
[01:48:02] Speaker B: You have copyright infringement because Ray Romano wants his IP back. Anyway, you've been served. Goodbye. Whoa.
