Read the full performed opening

Welcome to Reverse Psychology, the Frasier Rewatch podcast where we go backwards through every episode of the show. Tonight, we are covering Season 11, Episode 12, Frasier Light. Is this the time Frasier added a salad to every meal? We'll find out. I'm your host, Curtis Sheck. Joining me as always, it's our resident upside downer, it's Ryan. Curtis, it's good to be here. It's light tonight. Oh boy. It's a light night tonight. It's good to be here. Also with us today is Big Boned Bradley Kirkston. What up? I guess I have to bring the energy tonight and Big Boned Bradley Kirkston, you should have gone with the B and call me Big Boned Bradley Kirkston. That would have been funnier. Well, would you be willing to change your name legally for the purpose of this intro? Look, if it's going to get us more views at this point, I will do anything. Boy, it will not. You know you're allowed to bring the energy every night, right? I bring the energy, but usually I don't have to follow you who goes, Hi, I'm a robot. I have no energy. I'm a blood sucking demon. Usually I can work off of you and be fun off of your energy. But tonight it's like, okay, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde tonight. All right, let's do it. Let's have fun. Bananas. Like what? I hate to say it, Ryan. I hate to say it, but he nailed you. I mean, you did say those words exactly. So. How am I, how am I no fun, but also a blood sucking demon with no energy? For example, it's fun. Yeah. Nowhere in that statement did I hear fun. I mean, blood sucking demon's definitely fun. You'd be so bad at that. You're saying that the reason it's not fun is because he'd be incompetent at it? Well, that's part of it. It doesn't help the case. Sure. I disagree. Curtis, set up a segment. I want to prove I'd be an excellent blood sucking demon. If we go off of his energy tonight, he'd be like, hi, I'm Ryan. I like blood. Can I suck your blood? I'm not going to get any louder than this. And I'm just going to sound like a 15 year old girl, but it's fine. What? Accountant demon? You think he's going to be an accountant demon? I mean, that's the energy he gave off of that intro.

Someone brought rules.

Activity request: What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Activity premise: Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. Activity description: Well, we are going to get a chance to see what kind of a blood sucker he'd be. Because, yes, in this episode, we do get to see the station manager, Kenny, accused of having eaten a live pigeon. And so I thought it'd be fun if we kind of discuss what kind of an animal would we be willing to eat live? Like you'd have to kill yourself and eat it. But not. If you're desperate enough. So what is the worst thing? But not live. What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Yeah, I don't understand the prompt, Curtis, even though I've been accused of no energy. If I'm hungry enough, I will eat anything. I'd eat another human. Like, what do you mean? Oh, so you have no limit. Like, you would go. No one has. If you are hungry enough, you will do whatever you got to do. Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. And you're just a little bit out of it because you're so hungry. I'm desperately hungry. I'm eating a human. What do you mean? Okay. Well, all right. We've got your answer. I think you might be a blood sucky demon. And I'm thrilled with the increase in your energy levels. I feel like you're outside of the mountain territory for me. Brad, what do you think? I just had an arm. I'm feeling a lot better. My answer is a little shocking. Maybe I've been watching a little bit too much TV. I'm a big fan of commercials. So maybe that's where I got this idea from. I did have to look it up to find out that this wasn't an actual bird because I really wasn't sure. But I'm going to go with an emu. And even more specific, I'm going to go with the limu emu. Oh, wait a minute. What? This is ridiculous. You have to be able to achieve the goal. An emu would wipe the floor with you. No, wouldn't it? No. Well, especially, first of all, you think Doug's letting you anywhere near the limu emu? Are you out of your mind? A hundred percent. I would befriend the limu emu and Doug, but obviously Doug wouldn't make it. And then I would eat the limu emu. You're killing Doug too? I don't have to kill Doug. The emu will take care of that. Why are you specifically going after the most charismatic emu in the history of emus? I don't know if it's the most charismatic. Okay. Name another one. But you can find out. Name a top three contender even. Oh, for emus? Yes. The emu from that Scrubs episode? Yeah, the emu from the Scrubs episode. No helping. Tina the emu, old neighbor of mine, and this emu. Oh my God. By the way, I can promise all the viewers, we're never going to go off and do a Scrubs rewatch podcast because it would require watching season nine. Kodis, I didn't realize we had to name specific people. So I guess since I named humans, I would eat Brad just to shut him up. Thanks, bud. I take that as a compliment. Sure. Well, I feel like I have to give an answer. I would say, I feel like this is a mistake. This is going to really cancel me quick. I feel like I would be very comfortable eating a beloved pet. So Eddie is who I would kill and eat. What the fuck? This episode took a weird turn. I love humans. That's fine. A beloved pet. Don't you dare. Your answer is psychotic. You went after a loved one. Like your own loved one. That's crazy as fuck. I didn't say my own beloved. I said a beloved pet. And then I named Eddie. So like literally a TV show. The dog that doesn't exist. Who cares? I thought you were saying your own beloved pet. That would be absolutely psychotic. No, Ryan just doesn't listen to things Curtis says. I was already freaking out when you said beloved pet. We better pivot into the episode. Yeah, let's do it. This has gotten great. Let's do it.

Frasier's Forays ↗

How this one works

Setup and instructions

Well, so far in the Upside Down, we've only seen Frasier at the radio station sparingly. This is our first full dedicated ep to his work family. And I thought it might be fun to imagine other career possibilities that Frasier could have had if he didn't become a radio psychiatrist. We're going to do a new segment. It's called Frasier's Forays. Great name. Great name. Shut up. Fuck your head. I've got a random job title generator, and it's going to spit out some professions for us to evaluate his potential. All right. So let's get started.

Submission type: predicted episode synopsis Response context: High holidays. Premise: No one is Jewish, which must mean we are getting cranes on planes. The cranes are choosing to spend Christmas in the Bahamas. Roz is joining them because it's the Bahamas. In the A plot, Frazier tries to get lucky in the air. He comes up short but is frustratingly close several times. Elsewhere on the plane, Daphne tells Niles that she's looking forward to their baby's first Christmas. This sends Niles into a panic as he forgot to give Daphne a gift. Ronnie and Martin get it on in the bathroom, old people style.

Title: Reverse Psychology Activity description: Welcome to Reverse Psychology, the Frasier Rewatch podcast where we go backwards through every episode of the show. Tonight, we are covering Season 11, Episode 12, Frasier Light. Is this the time Frasier added a salad to every meal? We'll find out. I'm your host, Curtis Sheck. Joining me as always, it's our resident upside downer, it's Ryan. Curtis, it's good to be here. It's light tonight. Oh boy. It's a light night tonight. It's good to be here. Also with us today is Big Boned Bradley Kirkston. What up? I guess I have to bring the energy tonight and Big Boned Bradley Kirkston, you should have gone with the B and call me Big Boned Bradley Kirkston. That would have been funnier. Well, would you be willing to change your name legally for the purpose of this intro? Look, if it's going to get us more views at this point, I will do anything. Boy, it will not. You know you're allowed to bring the energy every night, right? I bring the energy, but usually I don't have to follow you who goes, Hi, I'm a robot. I have no energy. I'm a blood sucking demon. Usually I can work off of you and be fun off of your energy. But tonight it's like, okay, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde tonight. All right, let's do it. Let's have fun. Bananas. Like what? I hate to say it, Ryan. I hate to say it, but he nailed you. I mean, you did say those words exactly. So. How am I, how am I no fun, but also a blood sucking demon with no energy? For example, it's fun. Yeah. Nowhere in that statement did I hear fun. I mean, blood sucking demon's definitely fun. You'd be so bad at that. You're saying that the reason it's not fun is because he'd be incompetent at it? Well, that's part of it. It doesn't help the case. Sure. I disagree. Curtis, set up a segment. I want to prove I'd be an excellent blood sucking demon. If we go off of his energy tonight, he'd be like, hi, I'm Ryan. I like blood. Can I suck your blood? I'm not going to get any louder than this. And I'm just going to sound like a 15 year old girl, but it's fine. What? Accountant demon? You think he's going to be an accountant demon? I mean, that's the energy he gave off of that intro.

And so I'll give it a very soft seven. Scores: 7 Result qualification: very soft Answer qualification: This was better than I gave it credit as I watched it, which is interesting. The pacing was good. But there's a lot of filler, too.
