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 19, Miss Right Now. Is this the episode where Frasier Netflix and chills? We'll find out. I'm your host, Curtis Sheck. Joining me as always, our resident upside downer, it's Ryan Sansone. I'm excited not to miss this one right now, Curtis. Curtis. Okay. And also with us today, our visitor, Bradley Gersten. What up, what up? I just came back from the beautiful, sexiest city in America, better known as New Jersey, so I am ready to be great again. Yes, the sexy city of New Jersey. One of my favorite cities. Yeah, none of that's great, but exactly how I expected it to go, but I'll take credit for it. It took twists and turns. Yeah, it was great. Oh my gosh, this is off to a rousing start.

Someone brought rules.

dog wrap

Adjudication: I knew you would see the dog. Notable events: We were going to gaslight you into thinking there was no Daddy. But you ruined it by not volunteering that you saw him and ruined my plan. Hey, I said, like I described the scene and it purposely did not mention Eddie. Activity request: Read us and text us screenshots or whatever to Curtis's email. Pictures of dog.

Fast Food Frasier ↗

Led by Curtis

How this one works

Setup and instructions

So I want to know from you two, what fast food restaurant or item do you think would win him over?
We all know that in this episode, Niles has fallen head over heels for greasy burgers and chimichangas. But Frasier remains unconvinced.
I think you can pick an item or you could pick an entire restaurant. You can still use it. What matters is will he be willing to not only eat it, but like admit after eating it that it's good.

WHAT THEY BROUGHT

food brad

Choice: Wendy's Frosty Answer qualification: I don't love my answer because I don't really think there's a correct answer because I think the answer is really zero. The reason why I went with a Frosty is because I wanted to go with something that wasn't like so typical fast food because I don't think you're ever going to be able to win him over, my personal opinion, with like a true fast food.

prediction

Surely this must be the time that Frasier meets Charlotte. This must be a plan hatched by Roz to give her something to do. Frasier isn't resistant, but then agrees because, oh, what the heck. Do we meet Ronnie? I don't think so. Ronnie and Martin continue their relationship. Ronnie Raz is Niles, who's flummoxed to find out she's never partaken in a scone. Daphne is around.
