[00:00:22] Speaker A: So, Adam, I just now realized that it's very rarely just me and you. I don't really know what we should talk about.
[00:00:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel like anytime we've been alone together, we've sort of had some sort of task to occupy ourselves with.
It's usually you and me at the kitchen counter doing the dishes. I wash, you know? Yeah, we've been working on that Corvette in the garage downstairs.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: But no. Right mean, do you have anything you have to because I'm done with work.
[00:00:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: You want to go fuck with Mike?
[00:00:59] Speaker B: I mean, I'm always down for that. What did you have in a I got a roll of duct tape from that subscription box that I signed up for. Duct tape of the month.
[00:01:14] Speaker A: Cool.
I got this little bag of dick pinchers. They're like spins.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: Okay, so what if we took one of those and then wrapped we obviously did. What it's for? We used it for its purpose and then wrapped it in duct tape so that it would be immovable.
[00:01:33] Speaker A: Okay. I mean, that'd be good.
[00:01:36] Speaker C: Hey, guys, if you could just grab the desk back there. Oh, my good. I paid for that TV, too.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: Hunks moving junk.
[00:01:43] Speaker C: Got some buds in there.
[00:01:45] Speaker A: Yeah, those are some hunky buds. What's happening?
[00:01:48] Speaker B: You hired Mike. Why did you hire hunks moving junk?
[00:01:52] Speaker C: Because I'm out. I'm out of here.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: What?
[00:01:54] Speaker C: We're done. Yeah, I'm moving out.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: You're quitting?
[00:01:57] Speaker C: No, I'm not quitting. I'm not quitting. How am I going to quit, guys? Alex just gave me the biggest promotion of my life to hive's expert for allergist.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: Allergist.
[00:02:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Exactly.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: That's what normal people you're sort of.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: The Tony Fauci of limbrook now, correct?
[00:02:15] Speaker C: Yeah quitting. But I can't live here with you guys. I can't work here with you guys. I'm getting the hell out of yeah.
[00:02:24] Speaker A: Why?
[00:02:24] Speaker B: We haven't even done what we were going to do to you yet.
[00:02:27] Speaker C: What about the funko? So first of all, you sold off my funko pops. All of them.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: That was like that was about a year and a half. It was two different polls.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: It was much more recently than was I realized that you actually gave them away at Sheriff Toby's funeral. Okay. Which already what you guys were making jokes about and I wasn't.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: That's right.
I bought them back only to give them away again. But I didn't tell Mike.
[00:02:50] Speaker C: Last week was the final straw.
You guys did nothing as what's his face? Dixon after me into oblivion, and I was not a fan of that.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Are you sure that was you and not like a boxing announcer kind of character?
[00:03:04] Speaker C: I'm not 100% sure, but I know that I also got hit with it, and I'm not you remember someone who.
[00:03:10] Speaker A: Sounds vaguely like you getting dick slapped?
[00:03:13] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure.
[00:03:14] Speaker B: Unfortunately, we can never know who that was because they didn't introduce themselves.
[00:03:18] Speaker C: And that's a mean this is going back a ways, but you guys didn't really stand up for the French or the Flat earthers when they tried to kill me. You guys just kind of let that happen. And also, Alex, Alex, are you breaking out the dick pinchers again?
No, I see them in your hand. I'm not dealing with this abuse so constantly, and so I'm getting the hell out. I got a new place in.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: Rockville Center.
[00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's gross. Well, you know, they have one good diner.
[00:03:50] Speaker C: They have a Denny's as well. Excuse you.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: One and a half good diners.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: They got a Burger Ology, which isn't a diner, but it's still good.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: I will give you that. They have Burger Ology and one good diner. Denny's doesn't count. I like their bowling alley. But aside from mean, like, it's just like diet. Limbrook diet.
[00:04:11] Speaker C: You just can't so much better than Limbrook in every way imaginable.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: The World Health Organization just came out with that thing that says the reason that they said that aspartame might cause cancer is because of what happened in Rockville Center.
[00:04:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you want to investigate as to why? It's because Limbrookians started to invade Burger Ology? Because they were jealous that Burger Ology chose them for the location instead of Limbrook. They started putting aspartain in the burgers. So I do think that there is a little bit of know.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Burger Ology, home of the sweet burger.
[00:04:44] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: Mike, do you remember why the French and the Flat earthers got so peas at you? Yeah, it's because you keep doing stuff like this. You know what the Limbrokians are going to do when they find out that you're going to be working from across the country?
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Nothing. Because it takes them $18 to leave. So I'm going to get out. They're never going to come back.
[00:05:08] Speaker A: You can't afford to leave with the salary we pay you.
[00:05:11] Speaker C: That's another thing, by the way. That's another problem.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: Your big promotion and you don't have $18.
[00:05:21] Speaker C: I did give away almost all of the $40 that I get a year to.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: What was the hunks hunks moving junk? Mike, you saw the yard sign. You know, you pointed out every time we drive past in the Corvette that we're working on that's in the garage downstairs, you're like, slow down, let me write down the number.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: Yeah. How do we not see this coming?
[00:05:44] Speaker C: That is mostly because they do have some tasteful nipple. Male nipple showing on that sign.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: Yeah, it's 3D.
[00:05:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:53] Speaker A: Shit.
[00:05:55] Speaker C: Just the nipples.
[00:05:56] Speaker B: Like the Michael Keaton Batman costume.
[00:05:59] Speaker C: Correct.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: Speaking. Mike, speaking of nipple. Or George Clooney hello and welcome or George Clooney, welcome back to Everybody Loves everybody Loves Raymond. I'm your mayor, Alex Shearer of Limbrook, New York. I'm joined with these two other people. Adam Rudy, the one who is not a trader.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: Yes, that's me. I'm Adam Rudy. I'm in charge of the aforementioned toll to leave and enter Limbrook. I have been hired by the EasyPASS Corporation to install EasyPASS and toll by mail systems.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: Excellent. And the other guy said, enough already. Today's episode is season three, episode seven, Moving Out. When Robert's insecurities about not having a place to bone his girlfriend arise, he decides to finally bite the bullet and move out of Frank Marie's place. But when Ray learns that Robert has moved in with another couple as old as his parents, he catches a strong feeling of deja vu. What a fun episode. We're going to talk all about it as we deal with this whole Mike moving out thing today. It's going to be a real wacky adventure, so just stay tuned while we deal with this. Hey, that's mine. Take that one.
[00:07:07] Speaker C: Don't listen to him, Hank. I paid for that. That was his Christmas gift two years ago. That get me anything.
[00:07:14] Speaker A: That family portrait sized frame of all of Mike's loved ones and families is mine again.
[00:07:25] Speaker C: He didn't even replace the stock photo. I'm taking that with.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: Your that's not your mom and your dad and your mom. Again, that's just a random family. Just a random polyamorous family.
[00:07:38] Speaker C: No, that's my parents. But again, because I try to support all of my family members on $40 a year, they did have to take some.
[00:07:48] Speaker B: Your parents are stock photo model on stockflow.com.
[00:07:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: Your whole family is the family that is in the stock photos in the store where you buy frames.
[00:07:59] Speaker C: That is correct.
[00:08:00] Speaker B: Got it.
Speaking of Mike, what did you think about this episode?
Are you going to stay for the episode that we're doing, the podcast episode that we're doing, or do you got to get out? Do you have to drive the Hunks home after this?
[00:08:20] Speaker C: Yeah, that's correct. The Hunks do not have a driver's license, so I am in charge of driving them to and from collectively.
[00:08:26] Speaker B: Do not have a driver's license.
[00:08:28] Speaker C: That is correct.
[00:08:29] Speaker A: I don't think they have a car either.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: It's pretty crazy how they literally do haul it. Like, they lift it over their heads. It's very impressive when they're moving, like a sectional or something.
[00:08:39] Speaker C: Yeah, listen, they could straight up put out a show, but yeah, I mean, I'll do this right now. I'll answer some questions, and of course, I was in limbrook when the episode aired, so I did abide by the mandatory viewing rules, and I did see the episode, so I'm happy to talk with it, but I do got to go to my new place. But I suppose if you guys want to check out and see how much better I have it over there, that's cool, too.
[00:09:06] Speaker B: All right, plug off I'll go. Alex is a little hurt right now. I think he doesn't feel like you appreciate everything that he's done for you. He gave you $40, the food, the beverages.
I think he's a little hurt.
[00:09:24] Speaker C: Alex, thank you for the food.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: You're welcome.
Okay, hold on. Is there a reason you're not thinking is it because of the sweet tea that he made us?
[00:09:34] Speaker C: See, the thing is, I've recently found out that there's a thing called minimum wage that is actually it turns out to be above $40 per year. So I'm still a little peeved about that.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: I think whether or not minimum wage is above $40 per year depends on.
[00:09:53] Speaker A: How many well, Mike, look at it this way. If you need me to pay you more, then I'd have to take it out of Adam's salary of half a million a year. And do you really want me to do that to him?
[00:10:04] Speaker C: Adam, you make half a million a year?
[00:10:06] Speaker B: Well, I mean, after taxes, and obviously I've got 68 out of the 69 fabrice eggs, so I'm pretty much living paycheck to paycheck. Other than that, you buy 68 out.
[00:10:20] Speaker C: Of the 69 fabrice eggs.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: I don't continue to buy them. I have bought them.
[00:10:28] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: And it just so happens that I do about one a month.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: And you've just done it for the past.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: It just so happens that we're going to have five and a half years.
[00:10:38] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:10:39] Speaker A: We're going to have the Craziest Easter.
[00:10:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Because that's why I'm collecting them all, is because I'm going to shove dollar bills inside of them and hide them around the lawn and give you guys croquet malware.
[00:10:50] Speaker C: Awesome.
[00:10:52] Speaker B: People are furious with me. The Hague is so mad at me for doing this, and obviously I blocked UNESCO.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah, but he used a VPN.
[00:11:02] Speaker C: They don't know where he no, I understand. That's a good move. Now, of course, I don't want to screw over Alex. I'm just saying that, listen, like I said, I'm continuing to work until the conditions get better.
I'm just going to do it from the other side of town, from another know that's all. Side other side of the toll.
[00:11:22] Speaker B: I kind of think that working until the conditions get better is sort of like it's been proven that that's not an effective strategy.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, people strike for a reason.
[00:11:33] Speaker C: No, this isn't a strike. This is a ball. This is the opposite of a strike. I do such bad work that you have to improve my pay or else I'll keep doing it.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: That's what hasn't worked this long.
[00:11:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:48] Speaker A: I don't know if continuing generally, though.
[00:11:52] Speaker B: What did you think of this episode? I thought it was pretty funny.
[00:11:55] Speaker C: I thought it had its good moments. I thought it had a few very good moments. I thought that there were some very funny throwaway lines. I thought that the entire concept of the new Jewish Marie and Frank, but everything else is the same, was very was. There are a lot of individuals and.
[00:12:16] Speaker B: As Mike is talking, two hunks pick up either side of his chair, sort of Horace style, and carry him out of the room. He continues telling us how he felt about the episode.
[00:12:26] Speaker C: Yeah, there are a few points that I'm sure we'll get to that. I have a lot of thoughts on, but generally speaking, I thought this was a funny episode, but I don't think this was one of the funniest. Like, I thought the condoms episode last time was much funnier. I thought there were a few other ones that really stand out as laugh out loud funny. And this one had some damn good lines, but I wouldn't put it in the top, like ten.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: That's a pretty good point, Mike. I mean, I was watching it on my phone earlier while we were hauling that dining room table across town and yeah, it was pretty good.
[00:13:00] Speaker C: I appreciate that.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: Oh, you know my name?
[00:13:03] Speaker C: Yeah, Larry, it's on your name tag.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
I'm so glad that you're paying attention to that because it did really hurt to stick that needle into my peck. Yeah.
[00:13:16] Speaker C: I do like how it's all topless, but it's just like you do have it sewn.
[00:13:21] Speaker B: We can tell that you like that it's all topless. Don't worry.
[00:13:24] Speaker C: That's coming across stickers for the name.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: Tags with the oil. The stickers don't stick. You got to understand.
[00:13:32] Speaker C: Oh, that's oil? I thought that was just sweat.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, this is part of the service. You want hunks hauling junk. You want them to glisten.
[00:13:40] Speaker C: I suppose so.
[00:13:41] Speaker B: I suppose. Didn't you see our signs? You want them to glisten.
[00:13:46] Speaker C: I thought that was like that you would polish the windows or something after you finished. I didn't realize that it was I.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: Don'T know why you would assume that. Nothing about hunks hauling junks would imply that we clean the place that we're hauling the junk from.
[00:14:04] Speaker C: It says that you make it glisten. How else was I supposed I thought that? Yeah.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: Can you guys actually clean up this place before you leave? That would be nice.
[00:14:12] Speaker B: Hold on, sir. What can we help you with? He's shouting down the hallway at us. Mike, is this how these guys always are so rude?
[00:14:19] Speaker C: Yeah, they're fucking assholes, dude.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: What said, can you actually make it glisten? I live here. It would be nice.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Okay, I guess he won't. Hold on, Mike. We're going to put you down.
Steven, can you hand me the baby oil, please?
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
[00:14:36] Speaker B: Here's a thank you. Oh, well, get another one on standby.
[00:14:40] Speaker C: All right.
[00:14:41] Speaker A: Here's another gallon.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: And Larry pops the top. These are like milk jugs. Larry pops the top and sort of tosses it up in the air and does, like a you know, that little metallic ball from that infomercial where you would, like, roll it on your he does that with this gallon of baby oil and it's rolling all over himself and he sort of by the end of it, he's like a seal. Is this what you wanted? He's thrusting gyrating.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: You know what? Never mind.
We have a cleaning service.
[00:15:17] Speaker B: I just remembered another satisfied customer.
Yeah, sorry.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: Here you go.
[00:15:26] Speaker B: Thank you.
Sorry that's my other job.
Yeah. I really agree with what you were saying about this episode of Raymond, though. I mean, just taking sort of like the comedic game of Marie and Frank and applying it to a different context, sort of showing Robert repeating these just I thought that was a really fun take on the characters that we've already established, particularly. Yeah, go ahead.
[00:15:55] Speaker C: I was just going to say I like that analysis there. I like that.
Listen, you're a hunk, Larry, but you understand the idea of game.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Well, I pretty good. I did 301. I'm just doing this job until I can make enough money to take 401 and then I really want to get on a Herald team.
[00:16:17] Speaker A: Well, honestly, between Hunks Holland Junks and our other company, hunks hall and Jews, we're going to figure it out.
Because you did the lifting thing.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: Oh, no. Yeah, that is a thing, Steven. You're totally right.
[00:16:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought I would elaborate.
[00:16:35] Speaker B: People keep kicking down those yard signs. They're fine with the ones of our 3D nipples, but it might have something to do with the drawing and it being a little I could see.
[00:16:55] Speaker C: I'm going to be honest for some reason. What do you mean?
I thought that those lawn signs were for different hunks. I didn't realize that that was also you guys.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: What?
[00:17:07] Speaker A: Same Hunks.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: It's a service where we go around to Jewish weddings and help sort of less strong people lift the chair for the horror.
It's all a service that people enjoy if they read about it in the phone book and don't see our signs.
[00:17:25] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say you might need to get a new marketing director for that.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: Yeah, well, we farmed what we did was we put a X out on X and we asked someone to draw a logo for our company, hunks hall and Jews. And we went with the first one that we got. We got 500 and they were all pretty much like this.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: That's why there was a big X on it.
[00:17:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:50] Speaker C: The lower corner, that's Elon's new thing. Any idea suggested by NX has to have the X logo on it. Yeah. Okay. So can we bring the desk to the new apartment?
[00:18:03] Speaker B: Yeah, no, sure.
Do you want me to carry you in my papoose or do you want.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: To you have a papoose. I would love that. Yeah, absolutely.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: Oh, I'm a father. Oh, yeah.
[00:18:16] Speaker C: I learn more about you every day, Larry. You're like a fully complete human being.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: I am a complete person. We could stay with me the whole time and never stop discovering things.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: Yeah. This is fascinating.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: Here's my deal. I have two small businesses. I desperately want to be on a Herald team.
I have a son. And that's just the half of.
[00:18:44] Speaker C: Going to suggest you might make more money if you doubled down on the small businesses and didn't just obsess over the Harold team. I don't really know if there's a lot of money in that.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: It's tough. I mean, I am funneling most of my income to improv theaters around the greater New York area.
[00:19:03] Speaker C: Obviously.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: I don't love long form improv. I really love short form improv.
Like, whose line is it anyway? Okay, let's go. Mike. Rockville center. You?
[00:19:18] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Just generally rockville center.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: Hunks away.
[00:19:24] Speaker A: Honestly, Adam, all these guys coming in here and taking Mike away, I just don't even know wait, did he say he knew Wayne Brady?
[00:19:34] Speaker B: Wait, whoa. Alex, come back. Alex runs out of the or, tries to run out of the office and slips on the baby oil and sort of Mr. Magooze his way through the town hall. Like, he gets over to well, that's.
[00:19:49] Speaker C: Going to leave a mock.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: Chelsea, that was kind of.
[00:19:55] Speaker C: I know. I know how these things go. You guys hired me last week to replace Raylene, and now.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: Listen.
[00:20:07] Speaker C: I don't really care too much about this job, if I'm being completely honest with you.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: Well, honestly, I do. I respect that. I respect the moxie. I do. So, Alex all the way down the hall. He respects it. Alex. Alex is struggling to walk back up, but there's so much baby oil on the floor that he's sort of just walking in place. Alex, grab onto something. Get some leverage.
Propel yourself.
[00:20:33] Speaker C: I would help, but actually, I'm allergic to baby oil and also hunky men. That explains my husband giving am.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Oh, hello, sir. I didn't see you there. Two desks? When do we get two receptionists? What's your name? Hi, I'm Adam. I'm in charge of easy Pass.
[00:20:53] Speaker C: My name is Ray Fael.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: It's nice to meet you, ray Fael.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: Ray Fael.
[00:20:58] Speaker B: If you don't mind me asking, where does that come from? How did you get that name?
[00:21:04] Speaker C: I was born.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: Yeah, it was a weird question that.
[00:21:10] Speaker C: She liked the name Ray. Phael.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: I guess I'm wondering what the origin of that name is.
[00:21:17] Speaker C: She liked the name Ralph. She liked the name Ray. Here I am.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: Okay. Asked and answered. I feel like you and I are getting off to a bad start.
[00:21:27] Speaker C: Well, listen, it's not actually you. It's that my wife went and just decided to two brand new bosses brought up the fact that I'm not a hunk because that would make her sick or something, which I don't love. That okay.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: I'm here.
[00:21:43] Speaker B: Oh, hey, Adam.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: I see you've met Ray Fael.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Yeah. I didn't realize we had hired two receptionists.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I kept realizing that they kept falling in love with one of the three of us, so I just decided to hire two married receptionists.
[00:21:58] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:21:59] Speaker C: Best decision you've ever made, sweetie.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: No risk. This is a real risk management strategy. Unless you're not like, one of those open marriage couples. Right?
[00:22:10] Speaker C: We've talked about it, but I think that we decided that it's best for humanity if both of us just cancel each other out? I don't really we want to get out of nowhere.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Can I ask what the risk to humanity is? Is it that you guys are too powerful or that you're trying to cancel out a negative?
[00:22:30] Speaker C: It's a bit of both. It's a bit of both. Chelsea's hives are contagious. In fact, anytime she sees a healthy man, anybody that well, she's going to be totally fine.
[00:22:42] Speaker A: In this building.
We are not healthy individuals.
[00:22:46] Speaker C: I agree.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: We hired a dedicated allergist for a reason. I mean, he's not qualified, but legally.
[00:22:53] Speaker A: Has he is dedicated.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: Yes.
He has so many of those tests where they put all of the allergens on your back, except he sort of, like, tests them on himself first. So that's why he sort of I don't know if you saw him when he went past. He kind of looked like a painter's palette.
[00:23:12] Speaker C: Is that covered by insurance?
[00:23:14] Speaker B: No, not in this town, no.
[00:23:16] Speaker C: Damn. All right, well, we'll just have to leave the hives a mystery. That's okay with me.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Sorry about that.
[00:23:25] Speaker A: It's probably for the best.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: I had some follow up questions.
You're very interesting.
Hey, did you happen to I mean, obviously you did. It plays as the screen saver for all the computers in the building. But you saw the episode, right?
[00:23:40] Speaker C: Of course.
[00:23:40] Speaker B: Of Everybody Loves Raymond.
[00:23:42] Speaker C: Yeah, we did. Yeah.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: And as a couple, I think you would be good to answer this. Robert and Amy babysitting and then sort of getting all hot and heavy.
What did you think about that? I was surprised, I guess. Maybe it's just because they're a newer relationship.
What about being in Ray's house?
Got them all hot and know oh, few.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: Have you ever asked them about their sex life?
[00:24:13] Speaker B: Well, I just did. Have you ever been in a situation like that?
[00:24:16] Speaker A: To be clear, have you ever had sex in Raymond's house?
[00:24:20] Speaker C: We haven't had sex in the house of someone named Raymond. It's actually one of the few names on our list of people whose houses we have not screwed in. To be clear, we have a lot of very weird sex. Not necessarily when we're babysitting for a brother or a sister, though that's a little bit strange.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: Oh, do you have nieces and nephews?
[00:24:44] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, plenty. We have tons.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: We both come name all of them.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Yeah. First of all, give us a number. How many is tons?
[00:24:54] Speaker C: Let's see. Well, we both come from families of 14.
[00:24:58] Speaker B: Okay. And every single person 26 siblings. Got it.
[00:25:02] Speaker C: Every single one of them has at least three children.
Except for Tommy.
My brother Tommy's a priest. He decided not to go down that way. But everybody okay.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: So 25 times three.
[00:25:16] Speaker C: Yes. We have 75 nieces and nephews. You really want us to list all those names?
[00:25:21] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:25:23] Speaker B: And nobody's having trouble coming up with names today, so this should be easy.
[00:25:28] Speaker C: All right.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: And maybe we'll help you. We'll go ahead because we do see, your Christmas card list is sort of rolling off the table here, I guess. Big family.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: We'll just each read 25 of the names.
[00:25:39] Speaker C: I really think that this episode might not be interesting if it's just listing off 25 of my nieces and nephews names.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: If we go really fast, it'll just be a fun little goof.
[00:25:52] Speaker C: Sure. Fucking why not? All right.
[00:25:55] Speaker B: And I think you two should alternate also.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: All right, well, we'll go in alphabetical order, I suppose.
Yeah.
[00:26:04] Speaker A: Make this easier.
[00:26:05] Speaker C: We have Aaron Abica Oresta.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: Well, one of those was a real name.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: So those are three. Those are 372 to go.
[00:26:18] Speaker C: I shouldn't have done this in alphabetical order. See? Yeah. What the fuck were you thinking?
[00:26:22] Speaker A: Here, let me jumble it for you. Now it's all random.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: All right, we got Allison, we got.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: Still in the A's. Good.
[00:26:32] Speaker C: We got Zechariah, we got Zachary.
You just moved the Z's to the front here. All right, anyway.
[00:26:46] Speaker B: I believe we are at 69.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:26:50] Speaker C: All right.
[00:26:50] Speaker A: Come on, Mike.
[00:26:51] Speaker C: Billy. We got Wagner, we got 67, we got 66.
We got Steve. We got Larry.
[00:27:05] Speaker B: I think I saw that. Those are popular names today.
[00:27:08] Speaker C: Yeah, they are. We're on 64 noah paniota.
We got Sebastian, we got Ariel, we got 61, we got Brennan.
[00:27:20] Speaker B: We cut to the final three.
Alex and Adam have pulled up chairs and are sort of basking in this. They're drinking sweet tea.
[00:27:32] Speaker C: And then we got Erin. She's my Goddaughter. And then we got is that an.
[00:27:36] Speaker B: Erin with an A or Erin with an My?
[00:27:40] Speaker C: That's. My Goddaughter. My niece my got we also got.
[00:27:45] Speaker B: You guys stopped alternating. It's Ray Fael's turn.
[00:27:52] Speaker C: Just before I'm a very out of shape man.
Sitting down.
[00:28:01] Speaker A: Saying words.
[00:28:02] Speaker C: All right.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: You're sitting down holding a Santa style list. It can't be that difficult.
[00:28:07] Speaker C: We got Emily.
[00:28:09] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:28:10] Speaker C: And we got Brian.
[00:28:12] Speaker B: I insist Chelsea read the last one.
[00:28:19] Speaker C: Lastly, we got lawn.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: Wow. Yes. I'm very happy.
[00:28:25] Speaker C: All right.
[00:28:25] Speaker A: I can't believe there were, like, twelve of those who shared the name Jacob. That really made the middle of the list really interesting.
[00:28:32] Speaker C: Yeah. You see, we had two siblings that.
[00:28:36] Speaker A: Each tried to claim I don't really care about the backstory of that. All right, what were you going to say?
[00:28:42] Speaker C: That's fine.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: I was just going to say, so have you ever wanted to fuck while babysitting?
[00:28:50] Speaker C: Yes, typically. And no, typically. Typically, the presence of children in general is a big turn off.
[00:28:57] Speaker B: It reminds me of in the same house.
[00:29:01] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, listen, we have no children. We're the only two that have not been a part of the 26, plus three people besides Tom.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: Is that by choice?
[00:29:18] Speaker C: Yeah. No.
Children are a terrible deterrent to sex. We understand that. That's a natural consequence. And nobody likes that.
[00:29:34] Speaker B: I had a ton of condoms last week. I think you guys would have loved them, but unfortunately, you just missed completely out.
[00:29:41] Speaker A: Yeah, they're gone. Sorry.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: Yeah. It just seemed interesting to me to circle back to this, but I did think it was really it was sweet and funny how Ray and Deborah come in and tease them. I loved Robert jumping up and being like, hi, how's it hanging? The most awkward greeting in the world.
And then, yeah, just them teasing Robert and Amy for getting romantic. I liked does.
[00:30:12] Speaker C: I do also want to say and sorry, honey, I don't mean to make fun. I didn't find it quite humorous. Just the idea that being in the presence of Robert causes someone to have an allergic reaction. That was a very funny implication.
[00:30:24] Speaker A: That was very clever.
[00:30:26] Speaker C: Also, the pickup line of Amy's, which was, I don't have hives. Is that the standard now?
[00:30:32] Speaker B: I guess if Robert has that effect on people, it's like finding the one person who can physically it's like saying.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: I'm not allergic to you, which has got to be in the top five sexiest things Robert has ever heard.
[00:30:50] Speaker C: I agree. The lack of hives is a very big turn on. I got to agree with that, too. I got to agree.
[00:30:57] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: You want to expand on that, Chelsea?
[00:30:59] Speaker C: No, I mean, I just say listen, I experience it all the time. There are a lot of Hunky men on TV. I can't watch a Marvel movie anymore. It just ruins me. And so.
[00:31:12] Speaker B: It ruins you.
[00:31:14] Speaker C: It it's a medical condition there. Adam, I don't understand. What the problem?
[00:31:31] Speaker B: Laughing at you.
I feel like we've taken up enough of your time.
[00:31:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Let's give it up to the new receptionists. They won't be here next week.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Hooray.
[00:31:44] Speaker A: Let's go.
[00:31:44] Speaker C: Adam?
[00:31:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:45] Speaker C: You're firing me? No, we're just not just calling this job, man.
[00:31:50] Speaker A: No, we're just giving you your six day notice. All right, let's go.
[00:31:53] Speaker B: Yeah, it's severance.
Yeah.
[00:31:57] Speaker C: Alex.
[00:32:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I did, too.
[00:32:02] Speaker B: I just got a text from Mike. He says his new place is ready and he made a pot roast, which is quick. I guess the Hunks brought it and extension cord. Or he microwaved it, which wouldn't put it past him.
[00:32:18] Speaker A: You'd have to turn the microwave on its side and open it up from the top and then pour everything in.
And then the microwave device it yeah.
Honestly, it's not inedible. It's like a three out of ten. It's interesting.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: His chili is pretty good, I'll give him that. Although we did have to throw out the microwave afterwards. It was completely stained. Yeah, but for our sake, I hope.
[00:32:51] Speaker A: The microwave is built into the wall and he can't do that. Well, let's go.
[00:32:55] Speaker B: Yeah, let's hop on the as part.
[00:32:58] Speaker A: Of the yeah, let's get a plane ticket and fly over to Rockville Center real quick.
[00:33:02] Speaker B: Well, hold on. In the spirit of my new job, I would really love it if we could take the Corvette. Out and zoom through that easy pass at 45 mph. Could we do it just this one? Is it ready? It's ready, right?
[00:33:18] Speaker A: It is ready. And, you know, like, laws don't exist for the mayor, so we may as.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: Well diplomatic immunity, right?
[00:33:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:33:25] Speaker B: You want to drive or should we double steering wheel?
[00:33:28] Speaker A: It this corvette special. The steering wheel is built into the exact middle of the car.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:35] Speaker A: You get the brakes and I get the gas. And your hand on ten. My hand on two.
[00:33:42] Speaker B: And just so everyone's clear so picture a car with a steering wheel in between the driver's and passenger seat. The brake is in front of the passenger seat, and the acceleration is in front of the driver's seat. The clutch is on the ceiling outside because it is manual.
[00:33:59] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:34:00] Speaker A: And there was no room for seatbelts, but that's okay.
[00:34:02] Speaker B: All right, let's hit the road.
[00:34:04] Speaker A: Yeah. And when the airbag deploys, it protects no one.
[00:34:08] Speaker B: The airbag goes out.
[00:34:10] Speaker C: You see this monstrosity that exists.
[00:34:14] Speaker A: It looks like a normal car from.
[00:34:15] Speaker C: The outside in defiance of God and Henry Ford himself cruising down about 20 miles over the speed limit. And you see cops thinking about putting on the headlights. And then notice the vanity plate, which is Duh Mayor. And they turn off their lights and they sit back down.
[00:34:41] Speaker A: So anyway, Adam, I don't know if you noticed, but on the license plate, I spelled Mayor all funky. I spelled it like the month followed by the opposite of and it's going.
[00:34:54] Speaker C: To confuse the lights.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: Like, you're going to really have to pronounce it to get it right, as.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Opposed to the way that it's normally spelled, of course, which is like somebody slanting a pronoun that is referring to oneself to make it fit into a song and rhyme with me and the thing that you row a canoe with.
[00:35:17] Speaker A: Adam, I'm outside the car.
[00:35:19] Speaker C: We're here.
[00:35:20] Speaker B: Sorry, I was just poring over my thesaurus.
Wow, this place looks I mean, from the mean we're all thinking it's Scooby Doo mansion.
[00:35:32] Speaker A: Yeah, it's no town hall.
[00:35:35] Speaker C: You see thunder clap, the doors slowly creak open, bats fly out, and Mike walks out, arms outstretched, crying out, welcome to mi casa.
[00:35:50] Speaker B: Mike, this is honestly, is this whole place yours? Yeah. Bigger than I thought it would be.
[00:35:56] Speaker C: Yeah, you wouldn't believe it. The rent here is incredible.
[00:36:00] Speaker B: The frontier is incredible.
[00:36:02] Speaker C: The rent here is incredible.
[00:36:04] Speaker B: Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the bats.
[00:36:06] Speaker C: The frontier, which is also in the back. Yeah, the bats come freak. Wouldn't you believe it? This is awesome.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: I believe it.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: What an amenity.
[00:36:14] Speaker A: Why don't you give us a tour of this wacky establishment while we continue talking about the episode? Sure, come on in.
[00:36:21] Speaker C: And as they walk and discuss the different things of the episode, you notice they walk by various death traps. Like, you see a coffin with a bunch of spikes in it slam shut as soon as they walk by.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: We've all seen the Scooby Doo opening credits painting with the eyes moving.
They walk between doors in a hallway and Zombie follows them through one door.
[00:36:48] Speaker A: I also appreciate that you put us talking about the episode in the summary, so that way we don't actually have to do it.
[00:36:54] Speaker C: No, we will.
[00:36:55] Speaker B: Thanks for overlaying the reason 50% of the people listen to the show.
[00:37:00] Speaker C: No, we're going to do it. I just want to make sure we set the scene. So yeah, I'll be honest here. I thought that Ray did actually a pretty good job in this episode. I don't really think he was a jerk like he typically is. I think he did this pretty selflessly.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: He was looking out for Robert. I think basically exclusively, he wanted Robert to move.
[00:37:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:37:24] Speaker C: Oh, wait, duck and you duck and an axe. Axe just flies by. Sorry, continue.
[00:37:32] Speaker B: I wanted to just point out Ray being very empathetic in the scene where Marie and Frank are basically talking about all the ways they were listening in and being intrusive to Robert and Amy. I just love the detail of Marie to Robert being 39 years old or whatever and still searching and smelling his jacket for cigarettes. A good mother checks as she says.
And then, yeah, Frank making fun of Amy for calling him Yogi, which is kind of sweet.
[00:38:09] Speaker C: Oh, I would make fun of my friends for having that nickname. I'm not saying it's a bad nickname, but I would make fun of my friends. If someone called the significant other called in front of me, then, yeah, that would be a meme.
[00:38:22] Speaker B: Did they mention what he calls Amy? Is it Boo Boo or is it the Ranger whose name I don't recall? I don't know because neither is really the appropriate analogy for.
[00:38:38] Speaker C: The appropriate pairing is definitely Boo Boo. I think that Yogi and Boo Boo. I think that's the most maybe does.
[00:38:45] Speaker B: He call her Pick a Nick basket?
[00:38:47] Speaker C: I would actually hope that that's the real thing. That's Yogi's true love, because you're right, yogi and Boo Boo hopefully don't actually smash.
[00:38:55] Speaker A: Yeah, because you're much like the picnic basket. Yogi picks it up and eats it out.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: Jesus.
[00:39:04] Speaker A: I'm sorry.
[00:39:05] Speaker B: Yep. No, that's actually a really good analogy.
[00:39:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:11] Speaker B: And speaking of also, I have have.
[00:39:15] Speaker C: Okay, back to my normal series on strange eating habits.
[00:39:21] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:39:22] Speaker C: As Ray walks in, Marita's a typical hey, Ray, you hungry? And brings him a plate. And the plate that he's eating on is the same design as the plate that everybody else is eating on. That's not what's weird. What's weird is that I'm pretty sure Ray's is a paper plate because there's a little bend in it and there is not a bend in anything else. And I just want to point out that I think Marie gave Ray a paper plate, which is not weird because he came in late but it's the same design as the plates in the actual thing. Or at least it looked that way to me.
[00:39:54] Speaker A: So you're saying Marie is like very particular.
[00:39:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And that the paper plates have to match up with the real plates.
[00:39:59] Speaker B: Something was anybody else holding their plate up? Because maybe those were also paper plates.
[00:40:05] Speaker C: That's a good point. That's a good point.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: You wouldn't be able to tell if they were on the table.
[00:40:08] Speaker C: Also strikes me as weird. Marie doesn't seem to be the kind of person to serve paper plates for lunch.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Hey sometimes you can't deal.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: Sometimes you want to eat a paper plate.
[00:40:17] Speaker B: You think Marie has a dishwasher? No, Marie hand wash or nothing.
[00:40:23] Speaker C: Yeah she's one of the people to hand wash and then use the dishwasher for drying. Like as a drying.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: Also. You know she's so used to giving Ray food and like take this back with Ray leaves. So maybe she makes him a paper plate and puts that away for when he inevitably comes over would be the justification I would think. But who knows? It could be that they prop plates and they needed R1 quick and made one out of paper.
[00:40:58] Speaker C: That's also possible too but yeah I just noticed that and I thought it was a little bit strange.
[00:41:03] Speaker B: That is a good detail.
[00:41:05] Speaker C: Yeah, you're welcome. Hey listen, if you go oh by the way guys, if we're going to go to the kitchen which is the next big thing just follow me. It gets a little bit confusing and you see top down view. Mike walks in one door and the top right comes out towards the bottom of the hallway. They do a little Benny Hill kind of cute.
[00:41:29] Speaker A: That's cute. It's like a Scooby Doo. That's cute.
[00:41:32] Speaker B: I've never seen that.
[00:41:34] Speaker A: I don't know how we got here.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: Mike, from this episode but it's cute. Big kitchen, nice. A lot of cobwebs, big sandwich obviously.
Are you going for Guinness or are you building the world's largest sandwich or are you planning on eating?
[00:41:53] Speaker C: No. So you know how like in Everybody Loves Raymond in Marie's house they always have the big fork and the big spoon?
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:00] Speaker C: I thought the next logical jump was big sandwich.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: Okay, fair enough. But how are you going to eat?
[00:42:06] Speaker B: You eat with the fork and spoon.
[00:42:08] Speaker C: Of but it's just, it's just got to be big enough for now. It's just got to highlight that it's there.
[00:42:14] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:42:16] Speaker A: Is your jaw going to unhinge and are you going to cartoonishly take a big chomp out of it?
[00:42:22] Speaker C: No, I was thinking of just taking little bites like a lot of them. The other thing from that scene that stood out to me know you have the know, Rey kind of sort of heart to heart with Robert. And Robert realizes he's got to leave. And then as Marie realizes what Ray has done, I think it's the first time that we've ever see Frank have such a direct, immediate response to listen to Marie when he opens the door and Marie, almost godfather like, says stop. And Ray immediately, or Frank immediately bear hugs was I thought that was, like, a changing character. That felt, like, genuinely threatening. I was like, oh, God. What? Did Ray awaken?
[00:43:02] Speaker B: Well, yeah, I'm sure Frank had, like, bear hugged plenty of men into submission in the war and activating some deep seated thing in him.
Marie's reaction to Robert moving just I like Ray encouraging Robert to move out. Marie's reaction of guilting him into staying and really almost like a munchausen thing of like, you can't leave, I need you, you need me, sort of thing.
And it's strong. You can see why it's been so difficult for Robert to leave. She's like, Robbie's the last thing I have left. Which is such a manipulative thing to say to a child.
And then I like Frank's. The contrast with Frank, he just doesn't want Robert to leave because then it will just be him and Marie, which is very in character for Frank, but also cruel. But also you sort of get, um having to go from it's a real thing, like empty nesters. They got way more time than most people get with their kids, but the prospect is arising that they might be empty.
[00:44:22] Speaker C: True. Very true. And I also will say, we're going back a little bit, but how fucking awful, Murray, to bring up the divorce, specifically of like, this is what happens when you leave the like, yeah, that's was I was just like, damn, she's got him wrapped around it. She's got him, like, pinned down.
[00:44:41] Speaker A: I mean, it ended up not working. So you got to give Robert some.
[00:44:44] Speaker C: Credit exclusively because of yeah.
[00:44:48] Speaker B: You know, another line being Frank saying, I will say that Joni referring to Robert's ex wife. I will say that Joni had a nice caboose. Which is a weird thing to say about your ex daughter in law, but, yeah, it doesn't work on Robert. And he's walking out singing I'm So Excited by the Pointer Sisters. It's a real Saved by the Bell moment. I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm.
[00:45:15] Speaker A: So excited and he just can't hide it.
[00:45:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a good scene. I liked that we saw all sorts of emotional range in that scene. It's really good. Oh, Mike, the microwave's going off. Do you need yeah, yeah.
[00:45:31] Speaker C: Actually, hold on a second.
Just grab some bowls. I'll just pour right in. That'd be great.
[00:45:36] Speaker B: Okay. Wow, these bowls look a lot like skulls. Interesting.
[00:45:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:45:42] Speaker A: Just like hollowed out the top.
[00:45:43] Speaker C: Yeah. Design choice. I don't know, it's just going to.
[00:45:47] Speaker A: Fall right out the bottom.
[00:45:48] Speaker B: Mike, a question that I should have asked when you brought this up. Initially, did this place come furnished or was all this stuff in the town hall?
[00:46:00] Speaker C: No, the guy said literally, like, hey, listen, you can bring your own stuff in, but you pay me this flat rate, it's all yours. Everything in the house is yours.
[00:46:10] Speaker A: That's pretty.
[00:46:13] Speaker B: The guy that I assume you're renting, this isn't Old Man Withers, is it?
[00:46:22] Speaker C: Yeah, that's a guy. How'd you know?
[00:46:23] Speaker B: From the bus station?
[00:46:25] Speaker C: Yeah, from the bus station.
[00:46:26] Speaker A: We banished him from limbrook.
[00:46:29] Speaker B: Well, he works at the Rockville Center bus station, sweeping.
[00:46:33] Speaker C: Well, maybe you shouldn't have. Turns out that he made a great side business for real estate.
[00:46:39] Speaker B: Turns out he's a property owner. He could have been paying us taxes the whole time.
[00:46:44] Speaker A: Mike, he's a landlord. He is evil.
[00:46:48] Speaker C: I don't know. I don't know. Listen, you guys can't just say that about an entire industry of people. Landlords work hard.
[00:46:56] Speaker B: I don't know if I would call landlords an industry collecting paychecks. I don't know.
[00:47:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:03] Speaker A: You know how many paper cuts they get counting all that money?
[00:47:06] Speaker B: God, imagine if landlords unionized. How terrible would that be?
[00:47:10] Speaker A: That would be really everyone else. Yeah. We would all be fucked as a society.
[00:47:15] Speaker C: I can want him tips because he's such a good landlord.
[00:47:19] Speaker B: You give him tips?
[00:47:20] Speaker C: I tip the landlord.
[00:47:21] Speaker A: You tip your landlord. Don't stop giving them ideas.
[00:47:24] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just kind they got this they're letting me live here.
[00:47:31] Speaker B: How much is the rent?
[00:47:33] Speaker C: How much is the rent is $435,000 a month.
[00:47:38] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:47:39] Speaker C: So I tip him 10%. I think that's fair. I think that's half as much as I tip a Starbucks barista, so, you know, that's pretty good.
[00:47:48] Speaker A: There's a lot wrong here, but you know what? Let's just move on.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: What is this? I've got my skull bowl. I've got my big spoon. Big spoon.
[00:47:58] Speaker C: Big spoon.
[00:47:59] Speaker B: This is going to fit in the skull?
[00:48:00] Speaker C: Yeah, but it's Raymond themed.
[00:48:02] Speaker B: Is this like a Raymond skull? Is this Raymond skull?
[00:48:06] Speaker C: No, it's a Raymond big spoon.
[00:48:08] Speaker B: Okay, how does the skull factor in?
[00:48:11] Speaker C: That was just what Old Man Withers had in the house.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: Okay, I guess they're not as Big Raymond fans as we are.
[00:48:19] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
[00:48:20] Speaker B: Anyway, what is this?
[00:48:21] Speaker C: This is pot roast.
[00:48:23] Speaker B: Mike picks up the microwave and pours it into the.
[00:48:32] Speaker C: Mean. Listen, the microwave is a little bit more powerful than I had realized, so the actual meat kind of got vaporized. But hey, I mean, the liquid is probably pretty good.
[00:48:43] Speaker B: The only way to describe this is brown juice.
[00:48:46] Speaker C: Yeah, that's correct.
[00:48:47] Speaker B: And it's bubbling and okay, and I have to eat this in front of you, right? Like in a movie when somebody serves something disgusting.
[00:48:55] Speaker C: I mean, I'm not looking at you.
That would be polite.
[00:48:58] Speaker B: Thank you for not looking at me. I'm directly addressing you.
[00:49:02] Speaker C: That would be polite.
I don't know.
[00:49:05] Speaker B: Okay. I'm holding full on hard eye contact with you. As I find an angle for my big spoon to fit into the skull, I get a little bit of brown juice and I slurp it down. Should I do it on Mike? Let's see what it sounds like.
Oh, God.
Where's your bathroom?
[00:49:35] Speaker C: You're going to go through you're going to head down the hall, go through the door on the left, then the door on the right, then the door on the right.
Then you're going to do three doors on the right. Go up the stairs and you'll come out in the basement. And then it should be right in front of you.
[00:49:50] Speaker B: Okay. Do I have to swing on that chandelier that we walked past when we came?
[00:49:55] Speaker C: That's that's the quicker option.
[00:49:57] Speaker A: Adam you have to take the pot roast with you. If you don't eat more of it, your body is going to treat it like a poison. You have to accustomed to it.
[00:50:04] Speaker B: I don't know if I want to, but I'll try.
[00:50:06] Speaker A: You do you want to die?
[00:50:09] Speaker B: God willing, I make it past the chandelier and there isn't a horrible let's just say, I know you were planning on repainting this place. I don't think this is the color you want.
[00:50:23] Speaker C: True. Let's hope you make it down there. By the way, watch out for the night armor that's been moving around every time I turn my back. I don't know what's going on with that one.
[00:50:35] Speaker B: That might be the last one, although maybe not. Okay, I'll be right back. I'm going to carry this microwave to the bathroom and shit myself to death.
[00:50:46] Speaker A: Have fun. Maybe leave the microphone. Okay, well, that's going to be fun in editing later anyway. Mike so this place is nice.
[00:50:57] Speaker C: It's great. High ceilings. It's got a huge backyard. You look through the windows to cemetery.
[00:51:05] Speaker A: Have you noticed that? Is there anything that you don't like about the place or is it like, you know?
[00:51:11] Speaker C: Yeah, now that you mention it, they did not come with an in ground pool.
[00:51:16] Speaker B: That's okay. Yeah.
[00:51:19] Speaker C: Hey, how you doing, Kevin?
[00:51:23] Speaker B: Mike keep it down out here, I'm trying to sleep.
[00:51:27] Speaker C: I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sorry.
[00:51:28] Speaker B: It's like 03:00. P.m., come on.
[00:51:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. Listen, Kevin works nights. I'm sorry, buddy.
You want some pot roast?
[00:51:38] Speaker B: God, no. After what that did to me last night, I had to put new bolts in. That was crazy.
How are we doing on brains?
[00:51:48] Speaker C: Brains?
[00:51:50] Speaker B: I think they're still I'm sorry, I had something in my brands. Brands? I'm still a little irregular from your pot.
[00:51:57] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I got Raisin variety in the cupboard over there.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: No straight brand, just raisin.
[00:52:04] Speaker C: Just Raisin brand. Sorry. But costco.
[00:52:08] Speaker A: Mike who's that?
[00:52:09] Speaker B: This is Kevin. Mike can you get it for me? I'd need to bend my arms.
[00:52:15] Speaker C: Yeah, give me a boost.
[00:52:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:18] Speaker A: You share this place with him?
[00:52:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
I could never afford the $900,000 a month that this place actually cost. So I do the 435, he does the rest.
[00:52:29] Speaker B: Yeah, we need to talk about that, too. I think you're using up more than 50% of the place.
[00:52:34] Speaker C: I don't think so. You got the whole top floor. What are you talking about, man?
[00:52:38] Speaker B: I'm just saying, if you threw in another 15K, I'd be able to buy a nice bouquet of dead flowers for my sweetie.
[00:52:46] Speaker C: You got another person living up there with you?
[00:52:49] Speaker B: Well, she's not living here. Don't worry, she stays over some nights. Okay, you might have seen her hairbrush in the bathroom with obviously mostly black hair and then streak of white, but no, she's only going to be here like a couple of nights a week.
[00:53:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's no problem. That's no problem.
We can discuss at the meeting, but I think I'm okay with oh, the.
[00:53:15] Speaker B: Meeting with the other roommates?
[00:53:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
Gary.
[00:53:22] Speaker B: Gary. Hey, man. What's know you're?
[00:53:29] Speaker C: Sorry.
[00:53:29] Speaker B: I know you're the ghost of a dead child, Gary, but let me tell you, you're looking better than ever. Those bowflex lessons are really working for you.
[00:53:38] Speaker C: Thanks.
[00:53:41] Speaker B: Boo flex.
[00:53:43] Speaker C: Thanks.
So, Gary, we were discussing the rent and the rent situation.
I pay 435 and we got Kevin over here paying the rest. Just want to say I pay 568 pennies a month.
I don't think that's enough to be real with you. I think you got to pay a little bit more here because you don't.
[00:54:10] Speaker B: Use the water or the floors or the walls.
You're still living here. You got to pay for your mean.
[00:54:18] Speaker C: I guess living is debatable, right?
[00:54:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, sorry, I know that was insensitive.
[00:54:22] Speaker C: That wasn't cool.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Look, Gary, you do need to start picking up the slack because I'm going to be moving out in a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm getting married.
[00:54:37] Speaker C: Oh, congratulations, man. That's awesome.
[00:54:40] Speaker B: Yeah, it's really exciting to bride up over there. Well, she will be.
[00:54:45] Speaker C: Hey, there you go.
[00:54:46] Speaker B: Right now she's fiance of making an honest woman over.
[00:54:50] Speaker C: That's excellent. Good for you, man.
I do have a question for you, actually.
So you recently moved in here too, right? How long have you been here?
[00:55:03] Speaker B: I've been here. God, when was that storm? Like six months ago?
[00:55:07] Speaker C: Something like that, yeah. Just want to say so this is relatively new to you, too. What did you think of Robert's new place in the most recent episode?
[00:55:16] Speaker B: Oh, God. I mean, the ceilings were way too low.
[00:55:20] Speaker C: They were very low.
[00:55:21] Speaker B: I love the rumbling. Great rumble.
And the decor. I thought it's so fitting that Robert moves into an apartment where it looks not too dissimilar from his parents'living room. I really liked that aspect. I thought it was well set, designed. I don't think any human would want to live there.
[00:55:42] Speaker C: I agree.
I think the dog liked it there quite a lot, actually. I think Champsy yeah, the dog really.
[00:55:48] Speaker A: Seemed to enjoy mean. Chamsey doesn't need much. He needs a comfy sofa and then he's fine. So we could live anywhere? Theoretically.
[00:55:55] Speaker B: Mike, you never introduced us to your friend.
[00:55:58] Speaker C: Oh, sorry, guys. Kevin. Gary, this is Alex. Alex.
This is Kevin and Gary. They're kind of my roommates here.
[00:56:07] Speaker A: Hi. I'm trying to convince Mike to move back in with me, but you are I'm starting to debate why I'm living not here.
[00:56:16] Speaker B: This place is know we've tried to make it a home.
[00:56:23] Speaker C: Yeah, it's pretty oh, yeah.
[00:56:24] Speaker A: Mike, I came here to tell you to move back. I forgot.
[00:56:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that's news to me. I thought that I was very excited to be serving you pot roast and.
[00:56:31] Speaker B: From the microwave and don't drink the brown juice. That's why Gary's now the ghost of a dead child.
[00:56:40] Speaker C: Listen, I didn't know it was going to have that reaction, okay. It's just the hives were more violent than I anticipated and yeah, sorry about that.
[00:56:51] Speaker B: And to be fair, Gary was a Benjamin Button, so he had lived a full life.
[00:56:55] Speaker C: He did. Yeah, he did. He was fine.
Damn it.
But also, I will say that I wasn't actually a fan of the decor. There was one piece of the decor that I've mentioned before that did bother me quite a bit, and that was the jersey. Oh, yeah.
[00:57:12] Speaker B: You've been talking about this all day.
[00:57:14] Speaker C: It was a problem, dude.
[00:57:16] Speaker A: It was all the jersey.
[00:57:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay, so if you go we've seen this jersey in particular before, but in Robert's apartment in the background, there's a framed jersey. Framed number 24 jersey. Now, I was thinking immediately, and I think this is what the set designers were going for art Shamsky, who has been canonically established as Robert's favorite baseball player, he wore number 24. The problem was he played it for the Mets, and that's clearly a Yankees jersey. And Art Shamsky never played for the Yankees. It doesn't make any sense. So I was going through the list of the people that wore number 24 on the Yankees, and it's Robinson Canoe, who hadn't played baseball yet at the time, so it's clearly not him. Ricky Henderson, who was a decent Yankees player, but he's mostly known as an Oakland A and he played in the other decorations are for the are like from the youth. So like the archansky played in the 1969 World Series. So can't be I think I really think that the set designers just fucked it up. They meant to get an Arch Shamsky jersey and ordered a Yankees one instead of a Mets one, and it pisses me off.
[00:58:26] Speaker A: Yeah, okay.
[00:58:27] Speaker B: We've told him we don't care, but he does. Keep talking about sports.
[00:58:32] Speaker C: Show sports are a huge part of the show.
[00:58:34] Speaker B: Get the Yankees and the method.
[00:58:37] Speaker C: Everybody Loves Raven.
[00:58:40] Speaker B: It's not R list, it's a family sitcom.
[00:58:44] Speaker C: But sports come up like every single episode. It matters. It's a big part of their personality and their culture. And listen, if it's revealed later on if it's revealed later on that it wasn't a Ricky Henderson jersey the whole.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: Time, were you going to say it was an R list jersey.
[00:59:02] Speaker C: I was gonna say it was an archjamski jersey. I just got it mixed up. If it was revealed later on and.
[00:59:08] Speaker B: Don'T touch my jersey, by the way.
[00:59:11] Speaker C: Listen, you got to move that from the kitchen if you don't want me touching it, okay? I got a lot of food preparation to go with, and I can't be dealing with that hanging up. Okay. Okay, you got to move well, I.
[00:59:24] Speaker B: Can'T go back to the season two premiere of our list, which I was an extra in, so just keep your brown juice off my all right, I'll.
[00:59:34] Speaker C: Do my do my best. But if it's revealed later on that's a Ricky Henderson jersey, I'll take everything I said back. I just don't think that that matches up with the character as we know it. Robert's a Mets fan, not a Yankees fan. Like Ray kind of goes back and forth, but everything we know about Robert is that he's a Mets fan, and it fits his character, actually, because Robert's a lovable loser, and so are the Mets. So, I mean, there's something just I.
[01:00:03] Speaker A: Have a question, Mike. What if that jersey wasn't Robert's, but it was meant to be the dad's, and Robert just hasn't had a chance to kind of move in and stuff?
[01:00:13] Speaker C: Then why would the dad have a framed jersey from a player that played in the 1980s?
[01:00:19] Speaker B: He should have, like, it was an older man.
[01:00:23] Speaker C: But this is the 1990s. This is, like, ten years ago. I would buy that if we were talking about a Joe DiMaggio jersey or a Mickey Mano jersey, but I don't.
[01:00:33] Speaker A: Think Frank would own not Frank.
[01:00:36] Speaker C: Oh. Who.
[01:00:39] Speaker A: Harry Robin moves into.
[01:00:41] Speaker C: Oh. The problem is that we I've previously ranted about this jersey on this podcast because it was in Robert's room in a previous episode.
[01:00:53] Speaker B: Oh, interesting.
[01:00:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:00:55] Speaker A: Well, touche.
[01:00:57] Speaker B: Clearly, that stayed with Alex.
[01:01:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I listened to you, Mike, and that's why I want you to move back in. I value your input, did. I do.
[01:01:10] Speaker C: Know you didn't do a great job of proving your point, but I don't sorry. I'm sorry. Listen, Kevin, I interrupted you. Did you have any other thoughts about the room or the living situation as a.
[01:01:26] Speaker B: Frank? Not Robert's living situation, but just I wanted to say the Hunks are going to be coming by in a little bit.
[01:01:40] Speaker A: Attila the hunk.
[01:01:42] Speaker B: Sorry.
Oh, no, the Hunk attila the.
[01:01:50] Speaker A: Moving company. Sorry, I thought you were referring to the other one.
[01:01:54] Speaker B: No, I went with Hunk. Solid junk.
Mike recommended them when he moved in.
[01:02:02] Speaker A: So I immediately wow. They're busy today, but only has to go to one location.
[01:02:09] Speaker C: Damn it. The thing is, Kevin, if you move out, I'm not going to be able to afford it. I'm barely scraping together the $435,000 a month as I am. I mean, Alex, could I have a raise?
[01:02:28] Speaker A: No.
[01:02:29] Speaker B: Wow.
[01:02:30] Speaker C: Gary, do you think you start pulling your weight. A little bit more pay, a little more money.
[01:02:34] Speaker A: Where'd he go?
[01:02:36] Speaker C: He's a ghost. He turns invisible.
[01:02:39] Speaker B: He's probably doing ghost things. Beating the TV, other ghost things.
[01:02:47] Speaker C: We hear a scream coming from the basement bathroom here.
[01:02:51] Speaker A: You know what, Kevin? Why don't I help you with these boxes? Mike, maybe you want to go check on how Adam's doing.
[01:03:00] Speaker B: Washing my hands. Washing my hands.
[01:03:05] Speaker C: How you doing, Adam?
[01:03:06] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I thought I locked that.
[01:03:08] Speaker C: I heard a scream and I thought you were in trouble.
[01:03:12] Speaker B: I was screaming and it was bad, but it's over now and I'm okay. And let's just say I'm quite light now.
[01:03:24] Speaker C: I can tell. Yeah, you've clearly lost some weight.
[01:03:29] Speaker B: Actually, I'm pretty emaciated.
[01:03:33] Speaker C: Mildly concerning, if I'm being honest.
[01:03:36] Speaker B: Well, brown juice.
[01:03:38] Speaker C: I'll do it to you.
[01:03:40] Speaker B: Why are you in the bathroom with me?
[01:03:42] Speaker C: We heard screaming and I thought that you well, there's a few things. First of all, we heard screaming. Genuinely, we thought Gary had gotten to you. And second of all oh, yeah, you haven't met Gary. Gary's ghost of a small child that lives in the house with me. He's kind of one of my third.
[01:03:58] Speaker B: Roommates, but oh, cool.
[01:04:00] Speaker C: I also found out that my other roommate's moving out and Anthony style.
Yeah, kind of Anthony style, except know, marrying somebody. So it's one of those good for him but not for me situations because I can't afford the full rent, so I don't know what I'm going to do.
[01:04:18] Speaker A: Oh, hey, guys. OOH, bathroom party.
[01:04:20] Speaker C: Okay. Hey.
[01:04:22] Speaker A: Well, yeah, Kevin left.
[01:04:24] Speaker B: The bathroom is the nicest part of this house, Mike. It's beautiful. Marble everywhere. Gold faucets.
[01:04:31] Speaker C: It's very impressive.
It's really nice. It's got bidets. It's got everything.
[01:04:36] Speaker B: Bidets?
[01:04:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:04:38] Speaker B: Plural.
[01:04:38] Speaker C: Plural, plural.
[01:04:41] Speaker A: Poop with a friend.
[01:04:42] Speaker C: Correct.
[01:04:43] Speaker B: One toilet, multiple bidets.
[01:04:45] Speaker C: Kevin left already?
[01:04:47] Speaker A: Yeah, the company moved in.
How Kevin Stein is he doesn't have too much stuff.
I was hoping kevin Stein?
[01:04:58] Speaker B: He called Hunks moving juice.
[01:05:03] Speaker C: I was just hoping I could say goodbye to him before he dipped, but I guess that's not possible.
[01:05:09] Speaker A: All right, well, you got his instagram, right?
[01:05:11] Speaker C: Yeah. At real Kevin size.
[01:05:13] Speaker A: Yeah, because Kevin was hey, Mike, this place didn't work out, and you tried one place and it didn't work. So by the laws of failure yeah, you should move back in with us.
[01:05:29] Speaker C: To find the flaw.
[01:05:30] Speaker A: And again, it's not like we live there. It's like we work there. So you should come back and work there.
[01:05:36] Speaker B: I mean, there is the apartment above the garage to the town hall that we built.
[01:05:41] Speaker A: That's true.
[01:05:42] Speaker C: I might just take advantage of that.
[01:05:45] Speaker A: And it's like $10 cheaper rent than it is here.
[01:05:48] Speaker C: Yeah, and I can't argue with those savings, man. I mean, that's pretty good. That's pretty dang.
[01:05:55] Speaker B: The landlord is a little iffy, but tell me about well, I mean, if you're fine with him keeping his oil paintings and suits. Of armor in there. You're not going to have any problems.
[01:06:07] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:06:08] Speaker A: And the oil paintings have little eye holes cut out, but sometimes the eyes aren't cut out and they move.
[01:06:16] Speaker B: Yeah, the eyes.
[01:06:17] Speaker A: Especially when you get out of the shower. Don't even worry about that dog, okay?
[01:06:22] Speaker C: I won't.
[01:06:23] Speaker B: Don't worry about that dog or those meddling kids.
[01:06:26] Speaker C: I won't. I promise.
[01:06:27] Speaker A: Hey, that's our show. Just kidding. We still have more to do.
[01:06:32] Speaker B: Hey, let's get out of here.
[01:06:33] Speaker C: Yeah. As we're going, I just want to ask you guys and you see the brown boys going through the wild, benny Hill style doors as we talk.
I just want to ask you guys, what do you guys think about, like so, first of all, hilarious that the new landlords are very similar in nature to Marie and Frank. What do you think the worst living situation that you would tolerate?
This is clearly a deal breaker for Robert once he realizes what's going. But, like, I'm also thinking to myself, like, hey, not super independent, but there are way worse landlords out there. So I don't know. What do you think of are you.
[01:07:17] Speaker A: Asking the worst living situation?
[01:07:23] Speaker C: I was trying to because I don't think this is the worst.
[01:07:29] Speaker B: This I'm sorry, you don't think that this is the worst living situation for Robert or for a human being?
[01:07:34] Speaker C: For a human being. I'm going to say that. For a human being.
[01:07:37] Speaker B: Yeah. I think granting that the standard of living broadly in our part of the world is higher than lots of other parts of the world where people live in abject poverty, I would want a bedroom. Like a separate bedroom.
I wouldn't want fewer than one bedroom.
[01:08:05] Speaker C: You're just a hard line at Studio. Studio is out for you.
[01:08:08] Speaker B: I don't think I could do it. I need the separation of room and room.
[01:08:14] Speaker C: That's real.
[01:08:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
I'd like at least one bathroom.
[01:08:22] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. He did not have a bathroom. I totally didn't even process that.
[01:08:27] Speaker B: He had to go downstairs and share it with the Stipes.
[01:08:30] Speaker A: Yeah, you have to go to the house to have a bathroom. That's real screwy funny.
[01:08:35] Speaker C: I also wanted to talk about just, like, the Stipes in general, because first of all, do you have background on those actors? Adam, that feels like your do.
[01:08:43] Speaker B: I do. Let me look at my as we're as I'm looking, the Hunks have shown up to haul the junk. Hey, Larry Hall. Hey, Mike. How's it going?
I'm sorry if I'm a little less talkative. I auditioned for Casserole of Fun and they passed.
[01:09:11] Speaker C: I didn't get no, seriously?
[01:09:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm not going to be performing, dude.
[01:09:16] Speaker C: CMF is one of my favorites.
[01:09:19] Speaker B: Yeah, well, life goes on, right? I mean, at least I've got my son Gary.
[01:09:26] Speaker A: Gary.
[01:09:29] Speaker B: I left him here with, you know Kevin, right. He's our god. He and his girlfriend are I'm sorry. Fiance are always making out when I come home to.
[01:09:41] Speaker C: Kevin's gone. Kevin's moved out, as you know.
[01:09:45] Speaker B: They don't even let you no, no, they don't. And I've asked. I've done my baby oil know, it usually works, but yeah. Hey, you got to respect it. They're a closed been. I've been looking for an opportunity, but I don't know if it's going to happen.
Anyway, sorry, you were saying?
[01:10:08] Speaker C: I was just saying that Kevin's gone, but I haven't seen Gary.
[01:10:12] Speaker B: Anyway, we should leave motioning towards the door.
[01:10:17] Speaker C: All right.
I'm sorry. I have something to tell you about your son.
He might be a little ghost boy that's haunting this place now. He might be a ghost now. He might have died, you could still.
[01:10:33] Speaker B: Interact with know, this has been sort of status quo for us. For a don't. I get this a lot. My son was dead before he came here.
He's a Benjamin Button, so he lived a long, full life.
[01:10:52] Speaker C: How old are you, Larry? That your son lived a full, like, 85 year old life, and now you're taking care of his ghost?
[01:11:00] Speaker B: How old do you think I am? And before you answer, watch this peck Dance.
[01:11:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that Peck Dance lowers it a few years. I'd put you at 32.
[01:11:09] Speaker B: Bingo.
[01:11:10] Speaker C: Exactly 32.
[01:11:11] Speaker B: 32 years old. I adopted an old man, Benjamin Button, and I work at Hunks Holland Junk. But I'm not on a herald team.
[01:11:21] Speaker C: You live an ideal life, Kevin. I'm sorry.
[01:11:23] Speaker B: You'll get my name is Larry.
[01:11:24] Speaker C: Doesn't know what they're missing. Sorry, Larry. My name is Larry. Sorry, Larry.
[01:11:28] Speaker B: It's been a long day for contain. I told you earlier today, I contain multitudes.
[01:11:34] Speaker C: You do contain.
You should audition for Bigfoot Believers. They have another one coming up next week. You should definitely jump on that.
[01:11:45] Speaker B: What theater is this? Is this the Chuckle Hut? Is this Paul's Improv theater? Is this? Yeah, don't tell me. It's Geraldine's Improv theater.
[01:11:54] Speaker C: It might be JIT. It might be Geraldine's Improv Theater.
[01:11:59] Speaker B: Well, the JIT.
[01:12:00] Speaker C: The JIT. Yeah.
[01:12:02] Speaker B: Well, you know, Lin Manuel Miranda is an alumnus, so I guess it's pretty cool.
[01:12:08] Speaker C: Yeah, they got some star.
[01:12:09] Speaker B: I, by the way, I love Hamilton still.
I'm the one.
[01:12:16] Speaker C: I mean, it holds up, it doesn't become bad. So you're still one of the people that requests my shot of karaoke night?
[01:12:25] Speaker B: You're one of those requests?
Try muscles in. And I do mean muscles. Okay, look, I've taken up enough of your time. I know we've got a deadline. We got to get this stuff across town.
So don't mind me. I'm just going to be packing stuff up and other hunks pick up the sort of fainting couch that is being taken back to the apartment above the garage. Oh, here it is.
Sorry. That guy was going on for a while. I didn't want to interrupt, but I did find information about Rita and Harry Stipe. Are you interested in that?
[01:13:02] Speaker C: Yes. Hit me. Hit me.
[01:13:04] Speaker B: Okay, good.
So Rita and Harry Stipe, in addition to being the mirror image of Marie and Frank Barone, are played by Anna Berger, who played Rita Stipe. She started working, Interestingly enough, in 1952 as a child actor and continued working until she died in 2014. Her last credit was 2013. Really? Long career.
[01:13:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say that's impressive.
[01:13:31] Speaker B: She earned a rest in peace from you. Did she?
[01:13:35] Speaker C: Child actor all the way through. I got to give props for that.
[01:13:38] Speaker B: She worked for her entire life. I respect that.
[01:13:41] Speaker C: I do respect that she worked.
[01:13:44] Speaker B: You know what's interesting about her is she was in The Nanny, which is in the Raymond verse canonically. She was on an episode of, Er, the medical drama, Er, and she's done CSI and Law and Order, I think multiple versions of both of those. And most importantly, she was in the Adam Sandler movie. You don't mess with the I believe she is one of the mature women who is getting railed by the Zohan in the she boinked. The Zohan that he works at. Yeah, boinked.
You don't mess with the Zohan, but you do boink him.
[01:14:25] Speaker C: You can fuck the zohan. You can boink the zohon.
[01:14:28] Speaker A: That was the working title of that movie.
[01:14:29] Speaker B: You can boink the zohan.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:14:35] Speaker B: Harry Stipe, david Bird will be in one more episode of this show and that will be his last role.
He, Interestingly enough, was on Er, the medical drama, and E R, the Elliot Gould sitcom that predates the, Er, the medical drama.
[01:14:55] Speaker C: I did not know that there was a comedy show that took place in an emergency room.
[01:15:00] Speaker B: I don't think it took place in an emergency room, but revolved around the life of an emergency room doctor. But I don't know, I've never seen it. What I have seen is Seinfeld and many of the other sitcoms that David Bird has been in. Interesting fact, he played a judge ten times.
[01:15:18] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:15:18] Speaker B: Ten judge roles.
[01:15:19] Speaker C: So if you want someone dealing with any kind of heavy decision making, you go to David Byrd. Yeah, because, er, doctors saving people's lives, judges sentencing people.
[01:15:38] Speaker B: He has played judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, judge, possibly jury. I'd have to look. Definitely executioner.
And the other interesting fact about him was he was in a movie called Lawnmower Man Two Beyond Cyberspace. That is David Bird and Anna Berger.
[01:16:00] Speaker C: What is the Rotten Tomatoes reviews for Lawnmower Two?
[01:16:06] Speaker B: Lawnmower Two is a different movie. Oh, sorry.
[01:16:08] Speaker C: What was the name of this guy? This one?
[01:16:09] Speaker B: This was Lawnmower Man two.
[01:16:11] Speaker C: Lawnmower.
[01:16:12] Speaker B: Man two beyond Cyberspace.
[01:16:14] Speaker C: What is the reviews on Lawnmower Man Two beyond the Cyberspace?
[01:16:19] Speaker A: We need more lawnmower, man.
[01:16:20] Speaker B: Just based on the title and the synopsis, job exists as a malevolent consciousness in virtual reality. His name is Discover the Jobe and seeks to discover the technology to hack into all the world's computers. Job contacts peter, who had been a friend during his corporeal existence to assist him. But the young man realizes Job's evil intent. Peter calls on Benjamin, a brilliant computer engineer to help thwart Job's scheme for world domination and a battle rages throughout cyberspace and in the real world. Based on that, what do you think the Rotten Tomatoes score is?
[01:17:00] Speaker C: 30%. I don't think that that's a good movie premise. 30% is I'm going for Alex. What are you guessing?
[01:17:09] Speaker A: I'm going to guess 31. I'm going to be a dick.
[01:17:13] Speaker C: You're going to prices, right? This shit. Rotten Tomatoes. It can be very generous. I will say that there have been some garbage movies that got like a 53%.
All right, I'll stick with the 30, but yeah.
What did it get?
[01:17:27] Speaker B: Yeah, this is not one of those movies. It got 10% from the critics and 12% no, you went over Price Is Right Tam, and 12% from the audience. From 5000 plus ratings.
[01:17:42] Speaker C: 5000 ratings. And 12% of people liked it. That's awful.
[01:17:45] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:17:46] Speaker B: I mean, that would fill a room. 12% of people, 12% of 5000.
[01:17:52] Speaker C: I suppose that's like 500 something. Yeah, you're right.
[01:17:56] Speaker B: Yeah. So good. Good movie.
[01:18:00] Speaker C: I think we got to do a Baronus of Lawnmower Man, too.
[01:18:05] Speaker A: I do it. Jinx.
[01:18:07] Speaker B: Jinx.
Other fun facts about the Stipes. Well, I guess not fun facts. And these are about the characters that I wrote down. Rita loves cops. She backs the blue. Of course.
Harry stipe sort of recognizing Rey. Let's talk about that moment.
[01:18:26] Speaker C: That was a fun moment.
[01:18:28] Speaker B: Just more trauma for Robert's. Trauma pile there Harry Stipe recognizing Ray and the Tide because they loved Robert up until the point that he recognizes Ray. And Ray is a sports writer. He's semi famous. I guess he's locally famous. And I guess he really is. He if you met him, is he really that magnetic a personality that you would be like, oh hooray, oh, I'm so don't know.
[01:19:01] Speaker C: No, but I feel like if you're watching ESPN constantly and reading about nothing, but like, I don't think I'd lose my mind over beating Ken Rosenthal. But I'd be like, oh, you're that guy that I hear all of that I know from my sports. Listening and watching things. I know you guys don't know who Ken Rosenthal is, but nope, not at all. He wears a bow.
[01:19:24] Speaker B: Is he related to Phil Rosenthal?
[01:19:26] Speaker C: Probably not, but he wears a bow tie, so I like him.
[01:19:29] Speaker B: Interesting. I like him, too, then I guess yeah, I understand what you're saying. It's like if you have watched Lawnmower Man to be on Cyberspace every day and then you see Kevin Conway, who played Jonathan Walker walker through the room. You're probably pretty starstruck.
[01:19:48] Speaker C: I wouldn't say he was starstruck. He was just like, oh, you have an interesting job. I know that name.
[01:19:52] Speaker B: Yeah, he was drawn.
[01:19:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:19:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
I love the line when Robert realizes that the Stipes are Marie and Frank and you see a dawn on him, and it just jumped out at me. Maybe this isn't the radical change I had planned.
[01:20:12] Speaker C: And then Ray responds summing up, and then Ray responds with, no, it's a bit different. You get to pay rent now.
[01:20:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:20:20] Speaker A: How much do you think rent was there?
[01:20:23] Speaker B: $300.
[01:20:25] Speaker C: No way. It's still a New York City thing.
It's 90s money. But I'm still saying that wasn't less than 700 a month.
[01:20:34] Speaker A: No way. Brent was not absurd.
[01:20:37] Speaker B: 20 years a room above a garage in a suburban house.
This isn't like a property, like a rental property. This is like they're just renting a room.
[01:20:52] Speaker A: Yeah. The average New York City apartment was.
[01:20:57] Speaker B: $619 a month in 1996 and $619 in 1996.
[01:21:05] Speaker C: Equates to, I'm going to guess, like, 800.
[01:21:08] Speaker B: Now, 690,000 to 2023 is 1200.
[01:21:15] Speaker C: Wow.
[01:21:17] Speaker A: That's actually already inflation adjusted.
[01:21:20] Speaker B: Oh, that is wait. Oh, wow.
[01:21:22] Speaker A: The inflation adjusted medium asking rent for all vacant available units in New York City declined by 8% from 673 in 1993 to 619 in 1996. Rent was very affordable until the very recent 20 last 20 years, rent's always kind of been like a pretty reasonable thing.
[01:21:45] Speaker B: I did the inflation the other way, and $619 is $320. So I invite you.
[01:21:54] Speaker C: You might not have been far off.
[01:21:56] Speaker B: Screw off.
[01:21:57] Speaker C: Yeah, you weren't far off.
[01:21:59] Speaker B: I nailed it.
Although, technically, I went over. And Price is right.
[01:22:04] Speaker C: Price is right. Rules. And nobody got any money.
[01:22:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Bob Barker, by the way, since he quit that show, I think he's one of the hunks. I see him out there hauling junks.
[01:22:14] Speaker C: He put on junks. A lot of muscle. I got to give Bob Barker credit. He really bulked up after he left.
[01:22:21] Speaker B: He's lean, but he's strong.
[01:22:23] Speaker C: I'm going to Google to see if Bob Barker is alive to make sure.
[01:22:28] Speaker B: This is a famous misconception. Everybody thinks Bob Barker is dead until they Google Bob Barker alive and they find out that he's still alive.
[01:22:36] Speaker C: He's kicking at the age of 99.
Oh, my God.
[01:22:43] Speaker B: Satan is like, Come on down. And he's like, not yet.
He's going to hell.
[01:22:51] Speaker C: He made a game out of capitalism. He made it to normalized. He's going to hell.
[01:22:55] Speaker B: Honestly, surprising. It's the spaying and neutering thing that God doesn't like.
[01:23:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:23:01] Speaker B: God wants the animals to be fruitful and multiply.
[01:23:04] Speaker C: What does this have to do with Bob Barker? And the Price is right.
[01:23:07] Speaker B: Bob Barker ended every episode of The Price Is Right by telling people to spay and neuter their pets. You don't know about that. I did not know that that was his passion. Yes.
[01:23:17] Speaker C: That's for real? That's not even a bit yes. Oh, my God.
[01:23:21] Speaker B: That sounds more like something I know than, like, something I would make up. That's real.
[01:23:28] Speaker C: That's crazy. To yeah.
[01:23:30] Speaker B: And I believe Drew Carey still does it, although I haven't watched the show in a while.
It's just one of those things. CBS was like, fuck. Fine. Go for it.
[01:23:45] Speaker C: Do it, man. I don't know.
But yeah, I mean, anyway, when the Stipes realize that Ray is a sports writer, he immediately becomes their favorite, too. And you can just see Robert's spirits getting crushed in real time. It's great.
[01:24:02] Speaker B: Yeah, you love those moments. I mean, you hate them for Robert, sympathy wise, but the moments when Robert's truly I mean, I've never seen somebody who so embodies the word crest fallen. Like this guy can't keep a crest on to save his life.
[01:24:19] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[01:24:23] Speaker B: Yeah. And then just like the hot close of the episode where Ray comes back to the house, marie is there. He reveals that Robert is moving out of that place, but he's looking for another place. He's not coming home.
And obviously Marie not a fan. But you know who's really not a fan is the Stipes, because they come over to confront Ray about Robert moving out of their place to a different apartment. And this is where we get the callback from Harry Stipe. Without him, it's just me and her referring to his wife. This is a nice callback.
[01:25:04] Speaker A: It was nice callback.
[01:25:05] Speaker C: It was a nice little I want.
[01:25:07] Speaker A: To give this show huge props for taking a continuity step forward and having Robert move forward.
Continuity is something that many shows should do in order to kind of keep an audience engaged. Mike, help me with these boxes so that we can reestablish the status quo.
[01:25:29] Speaker C: Yeah, no problem.
[01:25:30] Speaker B: You would hate to see a show where somebody says that they're moving out and then at the end of the episode, they just move back into where they were anyway. Let's feel like it just wasted, like.
[01:25:40] Speaker A: 2 hours of your life.
[01:25:42] Speaker B: Larry, can you hit the buzzer down there so we can get into the building, please? Sure, no problem.
[01:25:50] Speaker C: Hose ran.
[01:25:51] Speaker A: Oh, you're still here.
[01:25:53] Speaker C: You gave me a six days notice. It hasn't been six days.
I love a job, right?
[01:26:01] Speaker A: I'm all over the place. I felt like we were in that building for a good this is Larry.
[01:26:08] Speaker B: I'm with Hunks Moving Junk. We need to come up to put some furniture up. Is that yeah, yeah.
[01:26:14] Speaker C: Okay. Wait. The Hunks are back. Oh God.
[01:26:18] Speaker A: Just let them in.
[01:26:21] Speaker C: You hear hives popping up all over Chelsea's body as she hits the buzzer.
[01:26:25] Speaker A: Don't worry, eventually one of those hives.
[01:26:27] Speaker C: Will hit the open buzer the door.
[01:26:29] Speaker B: There it goes.
[01:26:30] Speaker A: Yep, there it is.
[01:26:31] Speaker B: All right, coming on up.
Oh, Larry sees Rayphael and Chelsea and his heart starts beating under his prodigious pecs. And he pops out a little like what are those? Like a koolaid jammer? Is that what that is? Of baby oil?
[01:26:53] Speaker C: You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I got you now.
[01:26:56] Speaker B: Little koolaid jammer of baby oil. And he touches himself up and he puts the armoire that's the word.
He puts the armoire down that he's carrying and he sort of saunters over.
Hey, I wanted to thank you for letting us in. We're going to be coming in and out a little bit, and I know that probably makes your job a lot harder.
[01:27:24] Speaker C: Chelsea's face is just straight up one big red blemish at this point. Yeah, you could say that. Could you step about 40ft away? That would be really helpful.
[01:27:37] Speaker B: What if I just sort of step over to the side here and say hello to this nice looking gentleman, if you don't mind.
Handsome gentleman right here.
[01:27:50] Speaker C: Hi, I'm Ray Fael.
[01:27:52] Speaker B: I mean, I'm Larry.
[01:27:55] Speaker C: I've never gotten attention from a hunk before, I got to say that.
[01:28:01] Speaker B: Well, you just work together?
[01:28:04] Speaker C: No, we're married.
[01:28:06] Speaker B: Oh, well, I hope it's not too forward, but have you ever thought of opening it up?
[01:28:15] Speaker A: I'm going to go.
[01:28:18] Speaker C: Yeah, we got to move some shit in here.
[01:28:24] Speaker B: Well, luckily, it's all greased up now, so let's just push the furniture down the hall and oh, wow. They're getting right onto it. Wow. Okay. The hives, I think, are you don't want to touch?
[01:28:37] Speaker A: No, I fired them as a bit, but now they actually should they actually.
[01:28:42] Speaker C: Should be yeah, I agree.
[01:28:43] Speaker A: This is not appropriate work behavior. Also, let's not hire this moving company again.
[01:28:50] Speaker B: I'm not going to tell you how it's hanging. Leave me alone. Okay, let's just get in here and lock the door.
[01:28:57] Speaker C: Do we have anything else to discuss about the episode? Because I think that after all this moving, I'm kind of tired.
[01:29:03] Speaker B: Yeah, you did yes. Literally move back and forth between two towns in one day.
[01:29:11] Speaker A: Yeah. As far as the rest of town is concerned, we may as well have taken the day off. Like, we did nothing to help them, but that's okay.
[01:29:19] Speaker C: I paid $36 in tolls. That's most of my annual salary.
[01:29:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And look, all of that's just now on my desk, like, the tolls just come straight here.
[01:29:28] Speaker C: That's how EasyPASS works.
[01:29:29] Speaker B: Do you notice? Yeah.
No cash, baby. Any other circles to close?
I wanted to raise a couple of things that I took note.
Mike. Ray comes in. He says, hey, snuggle pants, to Deborah, and he says, that interview with or he thinks, to Deborah, and he says, that interview with Ewing went long. Mike, who is Patrick Ewing?
[01:29:57] Speaker C: You don't know who Patrick Ewing is?
[01:29:59] Speaker A: I would also like, patrick Ewing is.
[01:30:00] Speaker C: Like, one of the greatest basketball players. Yeah, he's one of the greatest basketball players.
[01:30:03] Speaker B: Give us some details. Come on.
[01:30:05] Speaker C: I mean, like, he was a point guard. I believe he played for the Knicks for almost his entire career. I think he maybe for his entire career. I'd have to look up his actual stats. But he was a Knick for most of his career. One of the greatest ball players of all time. Yeah, he's hall of Famer at this point. I think his career was over because this is in 1998. No, wait. No, he retired in 2002, so he would still have been playing with the Knicks at this point in time. So he was just interviewing like, one of the all time greatest basketball players and I guess he said the interview.
[01:30:44] Speaker B: Complaining about how it went long.
[01:30:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Patrick Ewing must have liked to hear himself speak. I wonder if that was like, originally a tease for the episode that they cut out because they couldn't get him for the actual episode.
[01:30:55] Speaker B: Planning a Patrick Ewing cold open.
[01:30:58] Speaker C: Right. Because they had Kareem style. They had Barry bonds. They had all these Kareem Abdul Brujibar, but just never got Ewing on.
[01:31:08] Speaker B: Interview with Ewing went short in that.
[01:31:11] Speaker C: There wasn't exactly so yeah, that's who Patrick Ewing is. One of the greatest all time New York Knicks players to ever grace the NBA.
[01:31:22] Speaker B: Thanks.
And I did want to touch on just before we get to the barometer, the rest of that scene of one of the more insidious, terrifying Marie episodes we've seen True, where he believes he sits down at the table, he believes he's talking to Deborah, and he begins to get a massage and discovers, almost too late, that it's Marie.
[01:31:54] Speaker C: Yeah. He goes in for the kiss. I know that's a little much. And then the line that follows, I believe, is, oh, God, now the dreams are going to start again. Which is a whole other ball of wags. But it's very funny line. Very funny line.
[01:32:08] Speaker B: It is a boundary.
Yeah. I feel like they really amped up Marie's whole thing, this episode. And why know this is to her a cataclysm. Yeah.
Last thing, snyder's hard pretzels a Campbell's company. Fun fact.
But I don't have anything else. Do you guys have anything?
[01:32:32] Speaker C: What does Snyder's have to do with anything?
[01:32:35] Speaker B: They're in the background of the kitchen scene, on top of the refrigerator.
[01:32:39] Speaker C: Great.
[01:32:40] Speaker B: In a box, no less.
[01:32:42] Speaker C: Isn't that how they used to be? I guess that's how they used to.
[01:32:45] Speaker B: Be given, but they must have been. I bought some Snyder's today, would you believe it?
[01:32:51] Speaker C: Not sponsored.
[01:32:52] Speaker B: No, but maybe yet.
[01:32:54] Speaker C: Talk to me, Snyder.
[01:32:57] Speaker B: Talk to me, Snyder. I've certainly given them money now they should give us money.
[01:33:01] Speaker C: Agreed. That's how it goes.
[01:33:03] Speaker B: That's the social contract anyway. Do you have anything else you want to talk about?
[01:33:07] Speaker C: The designated hitter rule. But I don't really think any of.
[01:33:09] Speaker B: You want to talk about that. Do tell us.
[01:33:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm so interested. Alex pulls up like a magazine.
[01:33:16] Speaker B: The designated Hitler. Designated Hitler month.
[01:33:20] Speaker C: The designated Hitler rule is a little bit different, but that was propaganda in the 1940s. But the designated hitter rule was a very controversial rule in baseball. Basically, the idea is that instead of basically nine people play, nine people hit. If you're in the field, you're also getting up to bat. But the thing is that the pitchers typically aren't very good at hitting because they're concentrating on throwing the ball in practice. So the designated hitter rule said, because it's not fun to watch these stick men that can't hit a ball, swing a stick a lot, let's not force the people to do it. We're going to choose a random other good batter to bat in place of the pitcher. And it's very controversial and I hate the rule. And at this point, only the American League, because there are two leagues there's the National League and the American League. American League. There is a DH designated hitter in the National League. There was not until 2020 when both teams adopted it. And when asked why, the league shrugged their shoulders and said, COVID. And that was apparently enough. And so now the desert hitter rule is rule for every baseball team. But like I said, you ask any hardcore old school baseball guy, you will literally get hours about how much the DH sucks.
[01:34:44] Speaker A: I like that rule.
[01:34:45] Speaker C: Say again?
[01:34:45] Speaker A: I like that rule.
[01:34:46] Speaker C: Well, you suck. You suck. Because, like, I whoa, this isn't football.
[01:34:53] Speaker B: Sit down on sit down.
[01:34:55] Speaker C: In football, eleven people play offense. Eleven people play defense. That's basically two separate teams. In baseball, everybody plays everything.
[01:35:03] Speaker B: That's part of putting the bat down. Put the bat you can make me.
[01:35:07] Speaker C: The DH sucks and it's ruining baseball. And don't even get me started on banning the shift.
[01:35:14] Speaker A: Yeah, Mike, we have a designated hitter for you. You're not allowed to use the baseball bat.
[01:35:20] Speaker B: Yeah, we still have the baseball diamond tile floor pattern. Of course.
[01:35:23] Speaker C: Sorry.
[01:35:26] Speaker B: The National League sounds like something that they would have the designated Hitler in, doesn't it?
[01:35:32] Speaker C: Great joke, Adam.
[01:35:34] Speaker A: Yeah, great. Good job.
[01:35:35] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:35:36] Speaker B: The Nationalism League.
[01:35:38] Speaker C: Yeah, I got the joke. I got the joke, Adam. But the Mets are in that league, so you can't insult it.
[01:35:44] Speaker B: Right, sorry.
[01:35:47] Speaker C: No, you're right. Hitler probably could play better than the Mets are right now. That's a different.
[01:35:56] Speaker B: Okay, so designated hitter, is that is that your only other thing?
[01:36:03] Speaker C: Yeah, I hit on pretty much everything else I had.
[01:36:06] Speaker B: Cool.
[01:36:06] Speaker A: Alex, I think I got everything. One more thing I wanted to say is that I want to say that Ray did a great job in this episode. Again, I wanted to say how I liked that he supported Robert not for his own selfish interests, which is usually a caveat. We have to talk about that. Ray did something good, but he did it for a kind of a weird motivation. No, I think Ray supported Robert because he thought Robert needed to move out in order to blossom. And he did it for I didn't think of any other reason, in fact, to the detriment of the opinion of the rest of his family. So I want to point that out and say good job.
[01:36:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:36:45] Speaker A: And now we can I think that's.
[01:36:47] Speaker B: A good point, because so often we see Ray avoid controversy, and in this he really spurred it on and created the controversy by, for the good of his brother, encouraging Robert to move out. For the good of Robert.
So on the topic of Ray's performance in this episode, I mean we should turn our attention to the classic barometer, don't you?
[01:37:12] Speaker C: We sure should. Absolutely.
[01:37:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Let's turn our attention to the classic barometer. Let me just take it out of my here and great.
[01:37:21] Speaker A: Ah, dang it. You hear all that banging?
[01:37:23] Speaker C: Yeah. That's Chelsea.
[01:37:25] Speaker A: It's those three. It's the going to give me the fly swatter. I'll be right back.
[01:37:30] Speaker B: Oh, he's joining in.
[01:37:31] Speaker C: Oh God. Oh.
[01:37:32] Speaker A: Hey guys, knock it off.
[01:37:34] Speaker C: Oh no. Help. No, I'm a part of it now. Help.
[01:37:41] Speaker B: But he's enjoying it.
Yeah, he's got a big smile on his face. He's oiling up. God, it's like watching seals feeding.
[01:37:52] Speaker C: Who's going to be the third all over? Yeah, it's like a feeding presbyter. Who's going to be the third barometer guy?
[01:37:57] Speaker B: I don't know.
[01:37:59] Speaker A: On the window behind you, you hear a knock.
[01:38:03] Speaker B: Let me undo the latch here and push up.
Hello.
[01:38:08] Speaker A: Hey there fellas. I heard you needed someone to come in. Who the fuck are you?
[01:38:14] Speaker B: This guy. Hello.
[01:38:16] Speaker A: I go by many names, but my main name is Pasta Man.
[01:38:22] Speaker C: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, Pasta Man?
[01:38:26] Speaker A: I don't eat pasta and I talk like this. I talk like this for no apparent reason.
[01:38:31] Speaker B: How did you get your nickname? I'm sorry? Is it a nickname A and B? How did you get it?
[01:38:38] Speaker A: It is not a nickname. I received it from my mother who was inseminated through a piece of pasta.
[01:38:47] Speaker B: Mean, the obvious one is pen A. But is that why?
[01:38:50] Speaker C: I don't think that's the follow up question we need there, Adam. I don't really think that that's depressing argument that we would like to know of.
[01:39:01] Speaker B: It's the only follow up question that makes sense.
Or is it a surprise?
[01:39:07] Speaker C: I don't want to know about his conception. That's not the main thing of concern. Are you kidding me?
[01:39:13] Speaker B: Pasta man widest.
[01:39:15] Speaker C: Why are you on the windowsill?
[01:39:16] Speaker A: I was looking at birds and then one was at the window so I climbed up to get a better look and it flew away.
[01:39:23] Speaker C: Are you a big bird watcher? Is that your thing?
[01:39:25] Speaker A: Not really, I was just bored.
[01:39:27] Speaker B: Oh.
Do you work? Do you have a job? How do you fill your days?
[01:39:33] Speaker A: My name is Pasta Man. I go around town doing this and people give me money.
[01:39:39] Speaker B: This is like performance. Are you like a street performer?
[01:39:42] Speaker A: What are you talking about?
Let's get back to the Baron.
[01:39:48] Speaker C: But you came in to do the barometer. You were just like that you heard us talking about. Yeah.
[01:39:56] Speaker B: Well those windows are only quarter glazed so they're pretty thin.
[01:40:01] Speaker A: And that one over there, it is.
[01:40:03] Speaker B: Broken so I could hear you. Oh yeah, that's the one. I didn't realize it. Was open. I just thought it was really clean. I thought the Hunks had done what we asked them.
[01:40:14] Speaker C: Made it close in.
[01:40:15] Speaker B: Yeah, went above and beyond.
[01:40:18] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:40:19] Speaker B: Pasta man. I mean, I can't promise that I'm not going to have any more follow up questions about you and your life, but you can participate in the barometer. We legally can't do it without three people.
So I guess we should turn our attention to the classic barometer, which is a scale from one to ten, on which we raise performance as a husband, brother, son, father, real estate broker, an all around guy. Ten being the great dads of sitcom history. Your Uncle Phil's. Danny Tanner. Carl Winslow. Mike, give me another one.
[01:40:48] Speaker C: Another good one.
I'm going to go with the grandpa from Ben Ten.
[01:40:57] Speaker B: The grandpa from Ben Ten?
[01:41:00] Speaker C: That is correct.
[01:41:02] Speaker B: Logically, he must be a dad, even though to the titular Ben and his nine compatriots no is a grandfather.
[01:41:12] Speaker C: Well, to be clear, Ben Ten is one guy that can turn into ten different aliens. Hence the name Ben Ten is the.
[01:41:20] Speaker B: Ten inclusive of Ben Meaning he can turn into eleven forms total or nine additional form.
[01:41:28] Speaker C: No, I guess if you include Ben himself in his human form, he could turn into he can occupy the space of eleven separate beings.
Actually, technically twelve because Ghost Freak was a whole thing. But anyway, that's a different story. But anyway, it's Ben Ten and one.
[01:41:46] Speaker B: Of them is a grandson.
[01:41:48] Speaker C: Yeah, ben is the grandson. There's the grandpa that leads them. He has cousin named Gwen.
But Ben is one dude that can shapeshift it to ten different aliens.
[01:42:03] Speaker B: I love that.
[01:42:04] Speaker C: Have you never seen the show?
[01:42:06] Speaker B: No. I love that shirt that you got that says I'm a grandson.
[01:42:18] Speaker C: Yeah, my grandma got it from you. It's a great shirt. It's a great shirt.
[01:42:23] Speaker B: And I saw her picking that out at Ross. She was looking at one that says said, I love my grandson, my grandma loves me and I am a grandson.
The one that is just a statement of fact with no judgment on it.
[01:42:45] Speaker C: Correct.
[01:42:46] Speaker B: One being the bad men of television history. Walter White, Don Draper and pasta man. Can you give me another one?
[01:42:54] Speaker A: What about from the titular series of Family Guy? Peter Griffin.
[01:42:59] Speaker B: Sure. Yeah. I would say that that is a bad guy. But you got to give him this. He is a grandson. So, Mike, where is Ray? Coming in for you on this episode. Season three, episode seven Moving out.
[01:43:16] Speaker C: I'm going to be honest. I think Ray did was this. He acted completely selflessly. He encouraged his brother to get out. Not because he wanted to screw over his mom or anything like that. He wanted it just because that's what his brother needed. And not only that, he only ever really acted with a semi selfish thought one time. And that's when he was trying to help out his wife and I can't make an argument against trying to help out your wife. So I'm going to give Ray a nine for this episode. I think he was phenomenal.
[01:43:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:43:52] Speaker C: Just good brotherly moments. We didn't even touch on the heartwarming moment in Robert's apartment. Know, Robert gives his life plan and he starts falling apart. But Ray handles that moment perfectly, that moment of emotional vulnerability with ease. Yeah, I'm giving him I think that's the highest rating I've ever given him. So I'm giving him a nine for this episode.
[01:44:14] Speaker B: Very nice. I think it might be. I agree. I think Ray, not only does he encourage Robert to go out on his own because he thinks that's a good thing for Robert, but he also tries to help Robert navigate the family dynamic. He tries to diffuse the conflict with Marie and Frank.
Prior to that, before everything blows up, he does his cover when he's telling Robert, you got to move out and Marie comes in, he switches topic immediately. The designated hitter is bad for baseball.
I thought that showed that he cares about Robert through this whole experience. He's being a really good brother.
He nearly has a romantic kiss with his mother and he doesn't protest too much when the stipes start to turn the spotlight on him. So I want to dock him just a little bit for that. I'm going to give him an eight.
[01:45:14] Speaker C: That's fair. I didn't consider docking him for his almost makeout session with his mother, but I guess that is a fair assessment.
[01:45:23] Speaker B: I call it the edible point. And every time he violates that rule, I need to dock it fair. Pasta man. Now that you see how it works, how do you think Ray came in during this episode?
[01:45:37] Speaker A: Well, I can tell that there are many numbers that can be assigned to Raymond here. There's one, certainly, and then there's two, and then there's three, and then there's four, and then there's 3.2, and then there's five. But the number I'm going to give Ray during this episode of Everybody Loves Raymond is not seven. It's also not eight. It's also not nine.
[01:46:03] Speaker B: This reminds me of Chelsea and Raphael naming their nieces and nephews.
[01:46:11] Speaker A: Sorry, it's also not ten. I didn't interrupt you when you were giving your description.
[01:46:18] Speaker B: Fair enough. I apologize.
[01:46:20] Speaker A: Also not eleven.
[01:46:22] Speaker C: Well, it's only on a scale of one to ten. There pasta man. It can't be eleven.
[01:46:25] Speaker A: That's why it's not eleven. Six is the score I'm going to give Ray.
[01:46:30] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:46:31] Speaker A: Three points because he is Italian, minus one points because I don't like his mom, plus two points because of the way he treats his brother, plus three points because of the way Robert treats him. Minus one point because that doesn't make any sense in regards to the rules of this rating. Put it all together and that probably adds up to six.
[01:46:56] Speaker B: I believe it.
Are you Italian?
[01:47:01] Speaker A: No.
[01:47:02] Speaker B: You're just a fan.
[01:47:06] Speaker C: Just a fan of Italian.
[01:47:07] Speaker A: Pasta man loves Italian.
[01:47:09] Speaker C: Okay, thank you. Okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. All right, well, that rounds out. Thank you, pasta man.
[01:47:14] Speaker A: I must leave my people.
[01:47:16] Speaker B: Human being people.
[01:47:18] Speaker A: He jumps out the window.
[01:47:19] Speaker B: Flew out the window and turned into a Farfale.
That's that smell.
[01:47:24] Speaker A: I want what's that smell was. Pasta man here.
[01:47:27] Speaker B: You know pasta man.
[01:47:28] Speaker C: Shit.
[01:47:29] Speaker A: That guy owes me money from Walmart.
[01:47:31] Speaker C: You can't run, pasta man.
[01:47:33] Speaker B: Wow. He's soaring through the sky on his fare wings.
[01:47:37] Speaker A: Goddamn it.
[01:47:38] Speaker C: As the door is open and in the background, we hear Chelsea sing. And then there's Alphonse.
[01:47:46] Speaker B: Oh, she's only on the A's. We got to hurry up, guys, or we're going to be stuck in here. All. Catch you, Mike.
[01:47:50] Speaker C: What is the average that brings us out to a 7.7 for Ray this episode? That still seems a little low, but you know what? Who am I to question Pasta man's judgment?
[01:48:04] Speaker B: Seems low, but broadly right to me.
I think then I think we're all done. We can stop down the equipment. We can alfredo all right, I'm going to oh, wait, pasta Man's joining in.
Oh, wow. Talk about fettuccine.
[01:48:23] Speaker C: So a grandson. Also a Disney.
[01:48:26] Speaker A: I closed the door.
[01:48:32] Speaker B: Mike, Alex and I are going to head on out, and you're going to feel the rumbling as we pull out of the garage in the Corvette.
[01:48:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:48:41] Speaker B: Remember that from 2 hours.
[01:48:43] Speaker C: Checks out. That checks out.
[01:48:45] Speaker B: I'm going to drop you off, and then I'm going to call an Uber driver to come handle the other half.
[01:48:50] Speaker A: Come drive with me.
[01:48:52] Speaker B: Yeah. And this is a thing that I'm doing that is really popular among the Uber drivers because it creates work for them. So they drop me off, and then we have one Uber driver who is not able to pilot the vehicle, so he needs to call another Uber driver and so on and unto infinity until we need the car again. So, Mike, we're going to be leaving.
[01:49:12] Speaker A: It's called the Uber paradox.
[01:49:15] Speaker B: We're going to be leaving. And you mind, like, locking up?
[01:49:22] Speaker C: I can do that.
[01:49:23] Speaker A: Licking up.
[01:49:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:49:25] Speaker C: I'm going to enjoy having my own spot. Thank you.
[01:49:27] Speaker A: Yeah, don't leave any sauce out, or Pasta Man will come back.
