The Two Hundredth

Title: Delectable Collectibles. Activity premise: But how good are we at identifying the completeness of a collection? Activity request: You're going to tell me whether the collection is complete or not. Then you're going to guess what the collection is of. And finally, if there is a missing item, you're going to tell me what that missing item is. Rules: And it will be entirely based on what I think should be in this group. You will be competing against each other. It will be turn-based. Competition adjudication competition established: True Scoring mechanism: You got one point if you guessed correctly how, whether the thing was incomplete. You got five points if you got the collection right, and you got ten points if you guessed the missing item. Scores: Ryan: 13; Brad: 21 Result qualification: Okay, but you robbed me of eight points for the whole stupid Star Trek thing. So, I don't know where you're getting eight from.

Welcome to Reverse Psychology, the Frasier Rewatch Podcast, where we go backwards through every episode of the show. Tonight, we are covering Season 9, Episode 8, The 200th, which originally aired on November 13th, 2001. Is this an episode of Frasier or an episode of Hoarders? We'll find out. I'm your host, Curtis Scheck. Joining me as always, it's our resident upside downer, it's Ryan Sansone. Curtis. You had an error. You said this was the 200th. This is actually the 2000th episode that Frasier shot. So you're... Right. The name of the episode is the 200th because this is the 200th episode of Frasier. What? No, it's the 2000th episode of Frasier. It's the 2000th episode of the Frasier Crane radio show. It's the 200th episode of the TV show from 1993 called Frasier. Also with us is our obsessed fan. It's Bradley Kirkston. You should have went with the bulldog thing. You know, he's like our basement dweller or whatever. This stinks! Well, this is not something we brainstorm. This is totally yes! We may or may not have lots of opportunities for Curtis to compare me to bulldog in future seasons. Oh, here it is. Yeah, you know, I'm just, I'm happy to be here, Curtis. If you're here, Ryan's here, I'm here. You know, the obsession comes with me. So we're ready for a great episode. What? Well, that will do it for us. The obsession comes with you? What do you think you just said? He called me the obsessed fan, so I guess I'm bringing the obsession with me. Why did you come immediately? What are you talking about? I can come wherever you want me to. No, no. You're disgusting! We're off to a great start. Have you guys ever had a cover-up? I mean, I must have, right? At some point it must have happened. I'm sure at some point, especially in your childhood, you must have had a moment where you did something, you knew you were in trouble, and you tried to just avoid facing consequences? Definitely. I have one. I'm sure at your elementary school, too, we went to the library at our school, and we would get books and stuff. And one time, I somehow got ketchup on the book, and I remember trying to wipe it up and not tell anybody. And the librarian was like, Brad, what did you do? And I said, oh, that was there when I got it. I was like seven, and I did this. I was like, I don't know. When you're covering it up, do you have the book just open, and the librarian walks over like, why is there ketchup all over my book? No, no, no. That would have been better. I just turned it in and walked away. When you return a library book, they don't check every page to make sure that no one put ketchup on it. Usually, it's just a pile. They don't even take it. They just let you set it on the pile. Although, to be fair, if Brad was someone that we were letting into the library, I probably would check all of his written books. The ketchup was on the side of the book. It was everywhere. It was not a good job of hiding it. Yeah, it was everywhere. But I just acted like it was there the whole time. That's pretty good. You would do that anyway, so I'm sure seventh grade you had no chance. No, no, no. Not seventh grade. Seven-year-old. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Either way. Either way. Yeah, seventh grade is a much harder look. I stopped reading by then. I have a couple, actually. If you even have one, I'd be shocked. So the fact that you have a quarter of a couple. Here's the thing. I was a very much rule follower kind of a kid. Weird use of ones. What comes with that is like a genuine fear of consequences. So the idea that good little, like goody two-shoes Curtis did something that he could get in trouble for was an unbearable thought. And so I would do anything to avoid getting caught. Uh-oh. Okay. My parents went out to dinner and me and my brothers were left to our own devices. I think Kenny was probably old enough to kind of be the babysitter. Um, and we got to wrestling, as you do. Sure. And as it normally does with brothers, the wrestling starts out like fun and playful. And very quickly, somebody gets actually hurt. And then it becomes actually wanting to hurt each other. And it gets out of hand. Ethan got so angry at us that he took this big plastic chair that we had and he threw it and it hit a wall. All right. This is an intense, like there's getting in fights with your brother and then there's like ECW. What a, that's a big escalation. He, he was really upset with us. Was he aiming for you? I think he was just like in frustration throwing something somewhere. Wouldn't you like to see Ethan as a basketball coach? He throws it at a wall, dents a hole in this wall, breaks through the drywall. And now all of us are no longer mad at each other. We're all just in like, you know, we know we're all in trouble for this. Like Ethan threw up, but it doesn't matter. So we're like, what do we do? What do we do? Those two cowards were both like, we just have to own up to it and be honest about what happened. But guys, there could be consequences. I had a brilliant plan that I was sure would work brilliantly, which was my parents had actually recently painted, which is part of what made it so bad that we had done this. I said, look, we can cover this up because my mom had saved the leftover paint for touch-ups. So I knew she had paint for this exact wall saved somewhere in the basement probably. And I was like, we can go get that paint. We get a piece of computer paper, tape that to the wall to cover the hole, and then just paint over it in the same color as the wall. No one will ever be the wiser. And still no one knows? You're about to tell everyone for the first time tonight? No, they convinced me that was not a good idea, which I never agreed with, but I couldn't convince them to go along with it. So we confessed. Blame. I recognize now that was not going to work, but I wanted to really badly. My question for you is how come you have way more stories about you like roughhousing someone and an injury happening or something crazy happening than all the rest of us. You have your story with Vitaly. You have this story. Like, I just don't understand. You should have more of those, Brad, because you have no control of your limbs. And you have a brother. Yeah, but I don't talk to him. You don't have to talk to her. There was not a lot of talking in this story, I think, to be honest. If you're doing a lot of talking and wrestling, I think you're probably doing it wrong. It's not like you talked to Vitaly back then either, so that makes sense. Or now. Ryan, do you have one? Yeah, there's been plenty of times where I broke something and walked away to no consequences. But I don't, I never jotted them down. Kind of like Brad's story was just like pretending like it didn't happen. I feel like there's a difference between that and what Daphne does in this episode, which is like actively try to hide and conceal that anything was wrong in the first place. I have another story about that. That's you. That I did do and did get away with. Ooh. All right, Mama Shaq. Cover your ears. This is a different night, different situation, but more wrestling. And this time I was the one that was pissed and I was so angry and I was so mad at them. And I went to my bedroom and I slammed the door and that wasn't enough. So I opened it again and I slammed it again. And then that still didn't feel like enough. So I kicked the door and I kicked the door and I, oh, my foot went through the door. It was, it was one of those hollow doors. So I, my foot went through the side on my side of the door. It didn't go all the way through to the outside of the door. So the only place you could see the hole was if you came into my room and closed my door. So I came up with a plan. Once again, paper was involved. I took whatever I could find and I just sort of, it was like a drawing or something. And I just taped it over the hole. And it was kind of close to the ground, off to the side. It was really awkwardly placed. So I thought, I'm going to cover this whole door in things. I'm just going to make it out that my door has to be covered in posters and stuff to cover up for the fact that I've put this weird random drawing in this weird random spot. But then I never did that part. And I just kind of let it go and just had this weird thing taped to my door forever. And nobody really questioned it or asked. It seems like you moved, you know, like, especially if it was like one of your shows you like. And you're just like, oh, this is my fan art. And people are like, yeah, sure, Curt. That's what you drew. Yeah. So literally Kenny gets, he goes off to college. So I get the big room. So we're swapping rooms. And I realized that I have to reveal this because he's not going to leave that weird thing up. I had to reveal my secret. And I told everybody. I told the parents and everybody. You don't have to tell them. Like, Kenny doesn't care that there's a hole in part of the door, I assume. Well, this is the thing. I mean, I felt like, I mean, eventually they will notice or care. Turns out statute of limitations are up because nobody was mad about it. Nobody gave me a lecture. It was just like a funny piece of trivia. How long had it been? Oh, gosh. I don't know how old I was exactly. I know when we revealed that I would have been like 17, probably. I probably was like 12. It was years. And you may have never told your brothers. Like, they had no idea either. Nobody knew. I was going to take this to the grave until I realized I had to give the room up. You had half a decade with this. That's pretty awesome. It's definitely insane. Well, should we find out how insane Frasier is going to be in this episode? Sure. Yes. As I say, none of your stupid anecdotes jogged my memory. We open with fireworks over Seattle. Bill Gates stops by to celebrate 2000 episodes of the Dr. Frasier Crane Show, but takes over as DJ tech support. What a guest star for what a weird role. No explanation of why. Apparently, he is a big fan. Very little explanation of why he's on the show. I love it. I assume he's a national fan. Do you think that this was a case of he's a Seattle celebrity and he actually maybe liked Frasier and so he was like gettable? One is love the way you just said Seattle. That's the best way he's ever said. He usually does the Frasier version. Yeah. I like that he put like a country twang to it. I appreciate that. He stumbled and then when he recovered, he's not close to normal. It was helpful. And two, yeah, that has to be the reason. They're like, let's get a local Seattle celebrity. Yes. Is he gettable? Well, obviously, he's gettable. He was there. It's very clearly Bill Gates. I assume it's because he's a fan, especially for the usage. I assume he doesn't act very well. And that was why. He had about three lines and two of them were being tech support. So it was in his wheelhouse. Did I ever tell you that I had a teacher in high school who was a body double for Bill Gates? What? I thought you were going to tell me Bill Gates was your teacher. Basically, this guy was at least as smart as Bill Gates. Easily the best teacher I ever had. And he was vaguely the same shape as Bill Gates. And he taught computer science. It was amazing. This is stupid. I thought he was like an actual body double for Bill Gates. He was. So there was a commercial Bill Gates was in. It had something to do with like a bathroom stall. They didn't have him for the scene where he was actually in the stall itself. They're like, oh, hey, teacher, do you want to fill in for him? He's like, oh, yeah, I've got the same legs as Bill Gates. So he literally stood in for Bill Gates. How did they find this guy? I'm so confused, Ryan. He was working for Microsoft at the time. Got it. So wait, so he went from working for Microsoft to being a teacher at your high school? Yeah. I feel like there's 74 details were missing. I mean, I don't remember most of those. It was high school when I was a very bad student that led me to Kent State. Like I was getting taught by basically Bill Gates to, you know, being with you two. Going back to the episode, how excited were you when Kenny came in? I was really hoping for more Bill, to be honest. I don't know about you guys. I saw Bill in the thumbnail on accident as I was loading it. So I was ready for Bill. And when we found out we were going to get him right away, I was like, because I knew he was coming. I was like, oh, great. And then we get all these fake ads and it was annoying. We got to see Bulldog. It's been a little bit since you got a Bulldog episode, right, Ryan? Yeah. The next time we see him is the, I guess, the quote unquote payoff or finish to the story. I don't know. Yeah. It's interesting. We find out in this episode, he just got the job in the basement. There's only one more episode where he's got that role, right? The zombie episode? Yeah. I can't remember. Did you know before this episode that he used to work there as a radio DJ? Yeah. Yeah. That's, I think that came up in the basement. The zombie. I thought so too. I just wanted to confirm. Okay. So yeah, we got very little information that was new other than he's the sports guy. That was the new thing for this episode. Did you guys feel like very nostalgic when Bill Gates is talking about upgrading your Windows XP? Oh my God. Yeah. XP was an incredible operator. Yeah. Did you feel real nostalgic then? I really liked that. No, it makes me more mad. It's like, why the fuck do we have Windows 11 and 12 and all this other crap? We had XP. We were living the glory back then. And they even came out with seven. That was pretty great. Just made me mad, to be honest, Brad. Okay. I was always a Vista guy myself. Hurt. Fuck off. This is why you broke doors, because you're angry with your childhood. Did you all notice that in the background there was a Cafe Nervosa employee handing out coffee? Yes. Yes. I was like, did he get Cafe Nervosa to cater his 2000 show party? I thought they were going to address it at some point, and they just never talked about it. Curt likes to pretend like he doesn't look at the background. It's all you look at. Every episode, you're like, I never look at the background. Oh, but there was a Cafe Nervosa guy in the background. This one was pretty obvious. I didn't see this at all. Oh. I did see it. Like, the whole scene, they're in the background. And I was like, who are these people we never see? Just like, are these just the interns eating the free food? Like, who are all these people hanging out? I don't even know what you're talking about. Like, I don't even know who you're referring to, because I was watching the foreground. Okay. In the background, behind the glass window, there is just a sea of people milling about, holding cups, eating snacks. It's clearly like the party of the episode. Curtis is being generous when he says a sea of people. It was like an ocean of people. It was so many people. Oh, thank you for clarifying, Bradley. Is it generous just to downplay how many people? Yeah, I don't know what you're going for. Was this before Bill showed up? It was touring. It was throughout the whole scene. Yeah. That's why I noticed it, because it was literally the whole scene. I only saw people in the booth with Rot, like when Noel goes in there and stuff like that. Oh, oh, Brad, I figured it out. I know what happened. So, all the, it wasn't people exactly. It was dogs. They were dogs that were hanging out. That's why Ryan didn't see them. That would explain things. While we're talking about the party, I want to mention that they got sweet and sour tacos from Senior Jose Fong. Oh, my God. This sounds so good. Asian fusion. Before it was a thing. I love it. Yeah, it's pretty exciting stuff. This is one of those cases where I really would have loved to have made food for the pod, because I would love to make a sweet and sour taco, but I didn't have the skill nor the time. The least we see around here is the crispy wonton taco, and it's always a disappointment. It's always like the okay-est thing you can order. I would love to try a sweet and sour taco. I'm sure it'd be great. Fraser loses his shit when he discovers an episode of his show is missing from his collection. While interrogating Niles, Daphne confesses. This wardrobe is not here for the, he gets rid of it after this episode, I guess, right? I don't know that we spent enough time in his bedroom to have noticed. His bedroom's so weird. We spent, we've been in there like three times tops, and every time it's jarring. I love that his bed's in the middle of the room. It's so fucking weird. It's, and it's also definitely a couch. It's so confusing. Yeah, him having a fold-out couch is a strange choice for him. The last time we were in there was when he boned one of his subordinates, and then acted like she was in the wrong. And I don't remember this giant wardrobe there. I'm pretty sure we would have noticed it. I don't feel like we went to that side of the room, but sure. Of course, he was naked on that side, and he was standing dick out facing her, being like, Roz, look at me. You may have watched the deleted scenes. That's exactly how it went. I'm just trying to engage you, Roz. Speaking of the cabinet, when he opened that up, I had, I don't know if you felt this way, I had the overwhelming urge to count. I wanted to know if there were 2,000 tapes in there. Well, I was thinking it counted all, but I thought, you know, I thought I could do like a math version of it. Didn't. This is the beauty of the internet, is that somebody did that for us. So I saw on some Reddit post, people were asking about this very thing. The thing that jumped out at me before you answered is that there was some missing ones. I was like, oh, does that just happen to go all the way to the end of season 11? But there's only like 10, 10 empty spaces. Yeah, there's not a ton of empty spots. Apparently, I think they said 875 slots and 840 were filled. Wow. So what a farce. What a fucking farce. Or is there a B-side situation? Well, and the whole post was because somebody noticed in the very bottom right corner, there is one open slot. Like he skipped a slot. I thought that's what we were going to, when he goes to like double back, be like, oh, I thought there was going to be one obvious one missing. In fact, it's one that's upside down. Upside down. And that's how he figures it out. So crazy. And then he goes to the living room and summons everyone to his room and they all just go. Before they go, though, they're milling about discussing what are you going to say about the episode. Can anyone tell me what happened today? I forgot to listen. I just listened for five minutes in case you asked me what my favorite part was. I just say the call from Tacoma. There's bound to be a call from Tacoma. Oh, yeah. I've just got a bunch of nice lines of this episode. We also see her like four or five times. It's crazy. She's going to get a whole monologue where 50% of the word she says is boombox, but it's still most of the word she's ever said in the show. In this scene, because then we find out that the tape is the best of Hall and Oates, which that's got to be a great tape. Yeah. I mean, they got at least five songs. Pretty good. I like that he starts to go accuse people and he's like, it could never be Niles. And then Daphne's about to confess. And then he's like, but maybe it's a double trap. And now it was actually me. Yes. I enjoy that he's trying to do the inspector thing. But I also love the way Niles continually deflates him. I did it. Ah ha. I can't say ah ha. You thought it was me. And then later he's like trying to give Daphne a hard time for having taken away this one of a kind thing. He's like, can't the station just make you a copy? Like, what is the problem here? It makes him feel better. Did you guys feel like Frasier was getting a little too handsy with Daphne at the end of the scene? Yeah. He was very up in her business. Did we all try to say boombox like she said boombox in the scene? The number of times she said boombox was a boombox amount of boomboxes. Does she say it? Weird? I don't know. Oh, in her accent. A boombox. A boombox. A boombox. Now how does she say it? Boombox. A boombox. I sound just like her. A boombox. A boombox. I don't know what accent you think you're doing, but it ain't it. A boombox. No, it's double, it's like three O's. A boombox. You can't coach anyone on accents. I'm a dialect coach. As the new steward of the KACL archives, Bulldog offers no help in finding the missing tape. Kenny reveals that the old episodes get taped over. So this is terribly confusing because I felt comfortable as soon as we got in the archives, but it's also very clearly a different archives. Is it? Yeah, it's not the same room. Obviously it's not. The zombie episode fits way more people. They have like six people in there. The door was on the flip side too. Yeah, nothing about it's the same. No. Okay, hear me out because I've been watching a lot of Severance. Maybe Basement of KACL is a severed floor and they just have just many, many, many weird little rooms and lots and lots of always. Do you want to make that accessible for us that haven't seen Severance or? Oh, sure. No problem. You've got to watch Severance. Okay. It's like the number one show on Apple TV, so I do need to watch it. Fine, I haven't seen it. I don't know. You still can't reference it like I've seen it. Okay. Imagine you're on the witch's road. Okay? Oh, which I've seen now. And I can already tell you this will be an inaccessible reference. So yeah, this is where we get the Bulldog stuff. This is where we find out officially that this is Bulldogs were O, and this is where we find out never misplaced Bulldogs' power bar. Okay, I'm sorry. You are really bearing the lead on this one. Did they not imply or outright state that Roz and Bulldog fucked the Christmas party? Yeah, but haven't they brought that up another time, didn't they? Did we know that? This felt like new but not at all surprising information. I thought they had talked about it the last time they were with the zombies. I thought they had brought it up. I don't think so. There was the sexual harassment episode where it could have come up. Yeah, you would think it would have come up there. I got no hint of it. Again, it felt new, but it didn't feel surprising. Yeah, I was going to say, Ryan, you don't seem like so shocked or anything about it. If you would have told me to write out six people she's had sex with that we've already run into, Bulldog would have probably been on the list. In fairness, I think you only know six people on this show. It's not that big of a cast. I know. I can't wait to find out she got with Gil also. How long you must have dreaded this dark yet inevitable day? I thought the more surprising thing was we got the straight up logistics dump of when he got fired, basically. Oh, did they go over that? He said two years, right? Something like he's been gone for two years. Yeah. So they laid it out pretty well. There's a number of moments this episode where they lay things out very explicitly. Like he loses the 96 tape. Bulldog lost his job a few years ago. You know, they hit weird beats. It's one of those helpful episodes. But I didn't take very good notes. Good. The only other thing at the end of the scene, Kenny shows up. I love the gag about the best of Frasier is like a mostly empty box. The joke that Kenny, the reason he redoes the tapes is because he doesn't have enough space in the storage room. But then he's storing his kids' bikes in the storage room. Like, I get why that's the joke. But why would he keep his kids' bikes? Like, Ryan, you're a parent. Would you ever store your kids' bike at work? Like, would that ever make sense to do? Oh, my God, yes. Really? For multiple reasons. Okay, enlighten me. For one, your house runs out of space because it fills up with kid crap. And tapes of your favorite radio show that you've been recording. For two, you may want to hide it from them for whatever reason. Yeah, you might think you want them out on the bike. Also, it might be super annoying. They're like, how can I hide it but not necessarily get rid of it in case it's that devastating thing that ruins their world? So sometimes you hide things and you don't want to hide it in the house because they're very good at finding it when it's in the house. Hmm. Okay. All right. Well, you know what? Well played. You know what confuses me is that we've established that there's not a lot of space for archives. We've established Kenny's using it for personal use. What happens between this moment and season 10, I believe it is, where we get a much bigger archive room clearly filled with actual archives? It's very confusing. It's not confusing. Bulldog's very good at his job. Yeah. Or they got a different space. If he was very good at his job, they probably wouldn't need the space. Also, if they're not keeping Frasier's show, what are they keeping? Because there was boxes of crap. They have other shows. I assume he's one of the more important ones, and that's probably foolish. But I've met some of the other, uh, what do we call them? MCs? What do you call a radio host? EJs. But close enough. Whatever. We've met enough of him that he has to be one of the top guys at the station, right? Only time will tell, right? We get a title card. It's a fancy way to say favor. Frasier asks his audience to send in their recording of his app. Instead, they turn the show into a lost and found. This is a bananas move from Frasier. Absolutely insane Salvo, where he's just like, I don't have it. We don't have it. I would like it. World? Present it to me. In the internet days, maybe. But that's not where we are. This is radio days, and it's nonsense and bullshit. Okay, I half agree with you. I think the idea that this random, you know, local radio show is being recorded by anyone is a long shot. But it is absolutely true that people would do this. People would record stuff and save it. In the internet, how do you even record a radio broadcast? The show Doctor Who was started in like the 60s in an era where they also like re-used tapes to save money. So some of the oldest episodes of that show are like lost to time. But they found a good handful of them because people just like had them in their basements. People would like recorded the show and had it. Right, and I'm pretty sure people recorded like on tape recorders, like radio shows and stuff. You can't say pretty sure and present it like that. I don't know what to do with that. It's not our generation, but there was an entire generation of people who would make mixtapes by recording whatever's on the radio. Oh my God, could you imagine a Frasier-based mixtape? I would love that. I'm listening. Did you feel this scene was weird because I felt like he was actually connecting with his callers, but he hated it the whole entire time? Like I felt like he was actually getting good callers and they were having good conversations. I think this has to be like the best episode of his show he's ever done. What an amazing thing. Like not only is he doing something kind of quaint and unique and new, but he's clearly connecting with people. And he said he reunited a family. This is the only time he has ever helped anyone on his show ever. And he hated it the whole time. He kept rolling his eyes. Yeah. And helpful. Would you maybe not call in, but... I would not. I would never call in. In the era where you don't have the internet, you just have like radio. I feel like a lost and found radio program where people call in and say, I found this or I'm missing this. I feel like that would be good programming. Very smart. Why would it be good programming? What do you mean? People like to help others. I think as a form of entertainment, it would be interesting to hear what people like find or what they're missing. And I think that as a form of an actual lost and found, like if you lost something that mattered to you, like if your kid lost that bike, you might like listen in and be like, I hope somebody's going to say they found a bike. And yes, this is a 10 years idea at best. And most of my ideas are. If you can't tell me this is what the segment is, I'm going to be disappointed. We get another title card. The Lost Weekend. Frasier is in a depression over his missing tape. Marty shares with Daphne how to break Frasier's shit and keep it a secret. I have a tough time with this scene. I don't like it mentally because I enjoyed it. What are you trying to say? I have no idea where you're going with this one. I love disheveled Frasier. I wish we got more of him. I'm guessing we do not get much of him the rest of the season this way. I think he does a very good job being just completely lost and depressed and hopeless. There's a whole season where he just stays in bed. I would love that. What annoys me is how likable Marty was in this whole scene. A low-rapped scallion and he's having a good time. And I was having a good time along with him and I was annoyed every step of the way. I wondered about that because you could take this as pure evil. Like he's breaking Frasier's stuff and hiding it from him. There's a version of that that you could find as more ammo against him. But I think you are correctly noticing that he's kind of a charmer. He's describing this stuff. We were all having fun with it. We were all having fun with it. And that annoyed me. Who doesn't love a tootsie roll? I tell you, it's a competitive move. There is like the longer, you know, tootsie products though. Like I don't get why he went with the roll. There's like that one that's like four tootsie rolls in one. Why wouldn't you just do that one? I couldn't tell because they didn't like do a close-up. They didn't zoom in. Like I couldn't actually see a tootsie roll in the shot. You could see where his knees went. Like it was definitely a proper small tootsie roll. So you saw the tootsie roll. You can make out the length. I mean, I just assumed that wherever he was supposedly replacing with a tootsie roll, it was the right size for the tootsie roll he chose. No, the whole point is it was a fertility statue. It was supposed to be a long dick. That's like the whole point. Oh, it was a dick that he replaced with a tootsie roll? Yes. Yes. I didn't get that at all. Oh, Curtis, it's a fertility statue. Here it is. I don't stare at statues' dicks. I know, you're looking at the background. We get it, Curt. Actually, I was looking at Daphne's shirt because she has a really delightful cat shirt that I kind of want. I can't see dogs and I can't see cats. Can you spell it out for us? Because I did not see this outfit. It was just a simple white t-shirt, but it had like a weird, fun little drawing of a cat. I don't know. It was fun. I liked it. How many years away are we from Curtis becoming a crazy cat guy? We're getting close, right? If it wasn't for his husband, he'd already be there. Got it. Okay. First of all, I think you are reverse generous because it will be far less than a year now that I'm buying a house. Just needed the space, Brad. That's all he needed. Got it. Curtis the cat guy. Niles tries to counsel Frazier into recognizing he has an obsession. When Marty announces the tape has been found, Frazier tries to play it cool. I just can't get over how weird Frazier's bed is. Every time we see it, it is jarring. Like, it just doesn't make sense. We do get a lot of it in this scene. Why would you put it in the middle of your room? Like, it's a psychotic maneuver. And it doesn't even make sense for the blocking of the, like, it's confusing. Yeah. It only works in the middle of a room if it's, like, a circular bed. Like, that would be cool. Brad, I don't know what you're on. I'm telling you, a circular bed would be cooler. It would work. I'm telling you. Yeah. I mean, it'd be cooler no matter what, but it would still, you'd walk in and be like, what the fuck is this? I think you'd be more focused on the fact that the bed was a circle, but I hear what you're saying. I don't think so. I'd be like, you're wasting a lot of space here. We should push this up against the wall. I did like at the end of the scene when Frazier tries to play this off, like, he's cool about, you know, someone finding his tape. We've seen this a couple of times, and it was always fun for, like, the, you know, Frazier, like, pretending to get over something, and then we find out whatever he was going for happened. We had to watch him do the mental gymnastics where he's like, I'm fine. And I was like, I'm getting the keys. I can relate to this. I understand why he wants his complete collection, why it matters to him to have every episode. When was the last time you had your underwear on backwards and your brother was trying to get you out of bed? Tuesday, but that's not what we're talking about. So I put a hole in the wall. No, I'm saying when you have an important creative work in your life, in his case, a radio show he's been doing for years, even though he's never going to listen to it, even though he knows he doesn't actually want to listen to the thing, the fact that it exists and he has access to it, he wants to hold on to this sort of validation of this thing he's done with his life. I understand why he wants the missing episode, and I understand why he really shouldn't care. He's committed to an insane, insane wardrobe, closet, credenza, whatever the hell you call this thing. It would be a little annoying to be missing one. I think if you're missing like 15, you'd get over it. But been like, I just need one. I can get irked. Well, and if you want to talk about him being crazy, I think apparently he played one of these for a date once. The only reason that that may not be crazy is because it might have been a raving fan. Like, if he would have started playing one for Tom, like, yeah, that would work. That would have worked, of course. This presupposes that he has a raving fan that he could... As I said, we know he has a raving fan. The question is, is this the one he was also attracted to? Well, we also know demographically that he does much better with lonely men like Tom than with any women at all. For every hundred lonely men, there's like, you know, one vaguely attractive girl that might find that an aphrodisiac. You don't know. I really don't. Because they didn't delve into it, I think it's fine. The second we find out that she was not into it, then it's psychotic behavior. And I hope we get to watch that episode. We meet Tom at his apartment, or rather, his shrine to Frasier. His crazed super fandom cures Frasier of his obsession over the collection. So Brad, who was that guy? He looked familiar. That's Adam Arkin. He's been a lot of things. You just finished West Wing and he was in West Wing. As what? President Bartlett's psychiatrist. Yeah. Nothing. After they kidnap his daughter and he goes to see a psychiatrist. I mean, it sounds right. You know, I'm sure he saw one. He was in a lot of other things in the 90s and early 2000s. Have you seen Halloween H20? No. His dad's Alan Arkin. Oh. Oh. Wow. Okay. Thoughts on the scene, right? Oh, yes. I knew we were getting the voicemail joke as soon as someone starts calling in. Absolutely. Go ahead, caller. I'm listening. This is your mother. Call me and change that stupid message already. Get a life, why don't you? That's becoming camp at this point. I don't even know if the joke was that good. I don't think it was that crazy of a voicemail thing to have. Like, if you're his mom, right, and you know he's obsessed with Frasier, hearing the voicemail bit isn't that bad. When you go to his apartment and see the shrine of Frasier, it's fucking crazy. If you know he's crazy and obsessive, I think that you might be frustrated to call in and hear that as a reminder of his crazy. You might be like, oh my God, you've got to stop. I don't think you dig in at the voicemail. I don't think that's the place that would break me. Why did he have a cover up for the shrine? What was that for? So it was a window. Yeah. He probably had the blinds already. Were they weird blinds? I didn't think they were that weird. I remember them being like shimmery. Shimmery. Is that, have I, have I added that in my head? That's in your head. All right. So he says, I'll have to rearrange. And then he opens up the blinds and just immediately pins it in a spot. Doesn't rearrange at all. Yeah. I don't think he takes that much care in his, in his obsession, to be honest. Well, I think, you know, to be fair, there was a nice spot for it. It didn't block any of Frasier's other faces. There's clearly a guy like on the mental edge, right? For whatever reason, he's obsessed with Frasier. Why do you say that? No reason. Only because he quit his job. Only because of everything he said. Only reason. And how he acted. The way he was dealing with Frasier probably should have been way crazier, but it wouldn't have been TV-able at that point. I think he is a functional obsessive in the way that other people are like a functional alcoholic. Like he's clearly a lunatic, but he can, you know, engage in a conversation. He can feed himself. He's engaging in a conversation with the source of his obsession. Like it's honestly remarkable. Think about sports fans who get tattoos of their teams winning championships before they've actually won the championship. It's like, same thing. Like insanity, but they're functional. I think this is the next level of that. Like I hear what you're saying, but I think this is one step even further than that. It's like Ryan, how you have that Super Bowl 60 sealer's tattoo. Like, you know, just, just being prepared for it. If it happens. I've got a 60, a 61 and a 63. He would have become a pot. Like that sports fan. If they would have met anyone on the team, they would have become a puddle. And this guy doesn't become a puddle around Frazier and it's a little confused, but he does then collect the weird chair doily that I don't understand why it was there anyway. But when it touched Frazier's head, he did have to go put that in another strange container. The doily is like, it's an object. Everything is, is objectified for him. He wants a token, a picture, a doily that touched his head. He wants some, some tangible aspect. Why was there a doily on the chair? What is that? Well, that's a different question that I can't answer. I've been to some strange places. I've never once seen a thing that should be, a teacup should sit on, on top of which. Ryan, there's so many things to touch this guy for. I think you got to give him a pass on this one. That is the one I will not give him a pass. I actually am mostly above board on a lot of the things we saw. That doily on the chair is like, lock him up. This is unacceptable. One other thing about his characterization that struck me, and I wonder if you noticed this too, and I don't know if this was an intentional choice to make him seem weirder or if it was just, it was just hot lights on that set. Was Adam Arkin incredibly sweaty looking? I thought that's just how they portrayed him, but he did look super sweaty and super like nervous, but excited. I didn't catch that he was sweaty until they were leaving, and then I saw him look a little sweaty. Was that the whole way through? I noticed that when he opened up the blinds to show the Frasier showcase. Regardless of what his interaction with Frasier's, it would make sense that he was nervous and sweaty. Yeah, absolutely. And then we get the great ending where Niles really wants, really wants to find out if maybe there's a tape of his one or two times getting to be Frasier for a day, take over the show, whatever he did. Yeah, Ryan, that was a little spoiler for you. How do you feel about that? We've seen him do it once, so it wasn't spoiler. Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah. You moved too past it. How'd you guys feel about the guacamole in this scene? Oh. I was surprised they ate it. I would have been a little bit like, I don't know what you put in this guacamole, man. Not only do they eat it, they seem to enjoy it too, so. I kind of was confused what the point of the guacamole is. It's called hospitality. No, no. For us, the viewer. I understand for the guests of the apartment. I feel like guacamole was a little less common back then. Yeah, I agree with you on that one. We've grown to prominence since then. Guacamole is incredible, for the record. If you've not tried guacamole because you've lived under a rock, go out, stop this, go get some guacamole. It's awesome. Even bad guacamole is fine. Get yourself some decent guacamole. As East Coasters and sort of Midwesterners, I think that you're right. In 2001, this was not the mainstay snack food that it is today. But bear in mind, the writers of this show were living in LA. I would not be surprised if guacamole was a little bit more normalized in 2001 there. Well, I wasn't sure what they were going for. Were they introducing guacamole? Which is weird. If you did show up to someone's place and like, here's some guacamole and chips, you'd be like, is this a Mexican restaurant? Like, what are we doing here? It'd be a weird thing to just throw out there. But then they ate it and enjoyed it, which is still like, I don't know what we're getting out of this. As viewers, I don't know. I don't know what to take. I understand where you're coming from, Ryan. But I still think that we are completely missing the major thing that happens with this guacamole. Adam Munkin dips a chip and hands it to Frasier. And Frasier eats it. He eats it, doesn't he? I missed that. Oh, that's bad. That's psychotic. That's the psychotic behavior that we... He should have freaked out after that. That's like if you threw a pitch to Babe Ruth and he hit a home run, right? Like, that'd be incredible. That's part of the scene where Frasier started feeling bad for this guy and started like, empath... Like, really empathizing with this guy and trying to make him feel better. You gotta feel a little uncomfortable at that bit. Where you're just like, why are you trying to ruin this guy's life? Like, he's decided that his life is Frasier. Like, I don't know. Why do you have to step in and change that? It's not that big of a problem. We're talking about when Frasier tries to, like, counsel him out of... Yeah. His impression. And then lets him keep the tape. At that point, he's made peace with it. I'm not worried about that part. I'm worried about before that, when he's like... He starts to do the psychiatry moves where he's just like, hey, your life sucks. It's like, don't tell him that. It's helpful to kind of assume Frasier is, at his core, a bit of a narcissist. So, in the instance where he's going to go to this man's house, even to ask for this at all, he thinks somebody loves him enough to record this for him, and he's going to use this fan primarily just to get what he wants, get his tape and go. But then, I think he sees how bad it reflects on him, that somebody's basically wasting away their life just only focusing on his radio show. And I think it is as much for his own guilt as it is for actually trying to help that guy. Interesting. I mean, you're definitely right, but I don't know what to do with it. It felt uncomfortable. It still feels uncomfortable. I think it's supposed to. But why? I don't... What did I do? I was trying to watch Frasier. Why do I have to be uncomfortable at some random person's life? Hey, buddy. I can calm you down. Here, take some of this guacamole I've dipped for you. If you've predicted, we're fine. I can accept that. I'm in a state where I can no longer dip my own chip. You hit on a lot of stuff. I took an emotional journey with you. Why didn't we just hire the guy? We clearly could have got a lot of free labor out of him. I'm sorry. Hire him for what? To do stuff for the radio station. He transcribed every episode. There has to be a use for this, ma'am. Today, you make a podcast, you put it out in the world, you get a transcription so anybody can access it at any time. If anyone's transcribing our podcast, you're hired. I don't care if you're dangerously obsessed with us. Just make sure if when we go to meet you, you make some guacamole and you pre-dip some of those chips for us because Lord knows I won't be dipping them in my cells. If you want a transcript, just use Apple Podcasts because they do it automatically for us. So, 2001, local radio, in the same way that I don't think they were saving every episode for posterity, I don't think that these things were meant to be, like, it was topical. It was in the moment. It was not meant to be revisited over and over again. They didn't need a transcript because it was only meant for audio listeners. You don't think there's any use for this guy? Who, by the way, next episode, they're going to hire Kirby for whatever reason. You don't think we could find any use for this man? For Frasier's show specifically, he is already sort of at his budget. For him to pay for another employee for his show, he would have to take a pay cut. I don't think we have to pay for him. I think we just hire him as an intern. But again, like, who are the transcripts for? We've hired Bulldog to do something to lose his protein bar. You don't think we can get this guy down in the archive room? The question of what is it for? Who knows? Who knows? Why do we have Bulldog? Why is Bulldog sitting around with boxes? Who knows? I think the problem is he's got a singular focus on Frasier. So, like, hire him for the Frasier show, maybe. Hire him for the radio station? I don't think he's going to do anything for any of the other shows. He only likes Frasier. Maybe. He could, like, spin a sign on the streets for them. I don't know. There's all kinds of uses you could have for an acolyte. All right. Frasier recounts to his family how he will never again obsess over a collection. Everyone flees quietly when Frasier notices a flaw in his vase. Okay. What am I, as a viewer, supposed to take away from this episode? Don't get obsessed with yourself? Um, I think just don't get obsessed, maybe. Is that it? Is that the lesson I'm supposed to take away from here? I think the lesson is to have some perspective. When your obsession or your collection or your fixation of any kind is impeding your life, you're switching jobs because of it, you're avoiding social relationships because of it, you're staying in bed all weekend because of it, it becomes an unhealthy thing. And you should have some perspective, realize it's not that important, and live the rest of your life. Okay. But then they undo all of that by having Marty live his best life by shitting on his son. That's clearly his passion. We know it's not overnight life, uh, overnight, uh, guarding. What am I looking for here? Security guard? Security guard. I kept wanting to say lifeguard. Yeah. Late night security guarding. You almost said it again. I almost said it again. I don't know what it is. I think Marty's, this episode made me think Marty's a hero. I don't know, Curt. I'm lost. I'm flummoxed. I know this is a hour long podcast, seetailing a 22 minute show, but I do think that we don't have to have some big meaningful takeaway from it. It can just be a sitcom. I think that's fair. Was it a bit of fun though? I don't know. Fraser comes out and gives like a, I've learned a life lesson speech. That means there's a takeaway, but I didn't know what it meant for me because I don't have a collection of tapes in my bedroom of me talking. Okay. It's hard to work out here what I'm supposed to do with this. It's supposed to be funny. So like he's saying he learned this big lesson. He's, he's moved forward with his life and then immediately is obsessing over some other thing. That's the joke. I don't know what to tell you. You still would be mad that your dad broke a vase even if you grew as a person. Right. Why don't you say this for your review? Fraser plays this out trying to fix his face. Marty enters, but quickly turns around as Fraser notices the broken fertility doll. I did like it was back to back. As soon as it starts, you roll your eyes and then it's mostly just Fraser face acting, which is pretty good. So it's like, oh yeah, upper end on the better end of these. Maybe my eyes are just bad, but I couldn't see what you obviously both thought the fertility doll had a very obvious plot. I can hear you putting air quotes there. What do you mean? Obviously it was a dick joke. Yeah. Okay. But what about the vase? Because I know the whole point is Marty saying he did such a good job. You can't even tell. This was nonsense. This was absolutely nonsense. It really looked like a perfectly fine vase. It didn't look like there was any flaw anywhere whatsoever. He said he glued it back together. Yeah. Okay. Old man who can't walk. Sure. Yeah. That joke fell flat. Sure. You used your precision gluing skills to make sure we couldn't see any seams. Well, Brad, did you see any seams in this episode? Oh, nice. Well, I don't know if you guys noticed, but we really struggled to talk about the actual episode tonight. We really just kind of talked about everything, what was actually happening. And I think that's mostly because nothing really happened besides Frasier being a baby. And like there was some funny bits. It was weird, but it wasn't like the weird that I like. So I'm going to give it C, mid-level C. Yeah. I think we're kind of in the same boat, but on opposite ends, I, it's a weird sentence. I came out 34 out of 75, which is on the higher end, but still pretty middle of the road. It is literally middle of the road. It is middle of the road. What does it anchor though? Because there's a bell curve with Frasier. Yeah. So I thought that this was pretty average. Um, I really did enjoy Arkin's performance, but I would rather watch my guy, Andy Daly. Oh, wow. But this was better in my opinion than the Cheers reunion. Okay. Ryan, what about you? You know, that's funny. I was thinking about the Cheers reunion for this as well. I gave this a 6-9, which I think is lower than what I gave the Cheers reunion. But we had watched the Cheers reunion, like right after a bunch of just fucking horrible episodes. Yeah. Like I would, I'd probably lower that now that we've gotten some okay stuff this season. For this episode, we're all around the same. We all kind of agree. Yeah. This is by no means the worst thing we've seen, and certainly not this season. It's probably on like a bright spot this season, to be honest. This episode ended up being about five minutes longer than most average episodes, but it didn't feel that way because not that much happened. What do you mean it was longer? I looked it up. He's right. This is a 28-minute episode. And all the other ones are 22 minutes. Yeah. Because it was like a special one. It didn't feel that way. How do they do 28 minutes? What do you mean? There used to be a thing where like they would do commercial free or less commercials. Like the networks used to like advertise that. So I'm assuming it was something like this. It might have even been like a 45-minute slot. They did it with The Office a lot. They did like 45-minute episodes. Yeah. I think Friends would have been in this era, and I think Friends did like long episodes. Yeah. Because they would do like, they would do like 90 minutes, 45 of Friends, 45 of Frasier, because they didn't have any other good shows. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Frasier took nearly a year to notice an item missing from his collection. But how good are we at identifying the completeness of a collection? We will find out in a new segment we are calling Delectable Collupti- Delectable Collupti- You got it. You gave up. You gave up on it. Delectable Collupti- Gosh. All right. Sorry. Delectable Collectibles. I don't know how to say nervosa anymore. I've lost it. That's my Brad impression, for the record. So I'm going to read off a list of items from a collection. You're going to tell me whether the collection is complete or not. Then you're going to guess what the collection is of. And finally, if there is a missing item, you're going to tell me what that missing item is. Got it. So it's not very complicated or anything. You said this is a me-style segment. What are you talking about? The reason in our text chain I referred to this as a rhyme-style segment is because the categories I've chosen are entirely subjective, and it is my subjective point of view. Oh, got it. You're going to have to decide if the collection is complete or incomplete, and what is the missing item if there is one. And it will be entirely based on what I think should be in this group. Are we working together, or is it individual? No. You will be competing against each other. It will be turn-based. So you can choose who goes first, but you will take turns. Other than a rhyme, why is it delectable? You're going to find out, buddy. I would like to go first for this round. Got it. Okay. Am I going first for Evermore, or will we change every round? It's only two. We're not doing snakes for two people. You will go first every round. I would like Brad to go first, second round. Okay. I'll go first every other round. I'm done with you. It'll be delectable. Here are the items in this collection. Tabasco, Sriracha, Franks, Cholula, and Tapatio. Uh, okay. Is that collection complete, first and foremost? Uh, no. This would be shit I might throw into a Bloody Mary. Interesting. Okay. And you said there's something missing. What's missing? The rest of the trick. That's a problem. Vodka. You are so bad at this game. This was just to introduce the idea of the game. Because I've got about ten more of these riddles that are way harder than this one. This was really simple. Yeah, I don't think he... I'm not sure he truly understands it. He really overthought that one. Sorry, I heard Worchester. In my head, I heard... You said Tabasco. I said Worchester. Yeah, you got this entirely wrong. Uh, the category... First of all, it was complete. This is the complete category of hot sauces. Yeah. Those are hot sauces. Well, I don't know... Those are all hot sauces. Apatio kind of sounds like a fish, if I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know what that is. It's a really good hot sauce. Okay. Great. I still don't know what it is. All right. Let's see if I can do better than that. All right, Brad. Yours are seashell, driftwood, starfish, sea glass, and sand dollar. Okay. I'm gonna say it is not complete. Can I steal? No. No. It's definitely not complete. I think it's not about beaches. Things you find at beaches. And what I think is missing is... You said sand dollar, but you didn't say sand. I'm gonna say sand. So you get no points for... Because it was complete. That was the complete list. Idiot. So no points for that. You guessed the category right. These are things you would collect on a beach. You get five points for that. What? Your guess of sand is actually very sensible and a good guess. It is wrong, though, because it's a complete collection. We've got all the things. It's just drifted onto the beach, Brad. It wasn't the beach itself. Idiot. Okay. Next up, Ryan, you get Chuck E. Cheese, Dave and Buster's, Disney Quest, and Aladdin's Castle. I don't know at least half of those. So I'm gonna say it's incomplete. I'm gonna guess it's things that you liked to go to as a child, and I think we're missing Cedar Point. Why are you so bad at this game? I don't know what the fuck Disney Quest is, and I definitely... Aladdin's Castle's made it. It's clearly children's arcades. Why is that clearly, man? You get one point because it was an incomplete list. Brad was a lot closer. Technically, this was arcade tokens, but I probably would have accepted kids' arcades. But you do not get things Curtis likes to go to. Can I guess what was missing? Yes, we've now established that stealing is a part of this game. Brad, would you like to steal... Discovery Zone? Wow. Brad, you just got 10 points. Yeah, because I know Curtis. He's my friend. We had reliefs and bounds when I was a kid. I don't have to tell you. Discovery Zone came later. I was an adult by the time we got Discovery Zone. And it was gone way before I was an adult. What the fuck is Aladdin's Castle? That's not a thing. That's not even a thing in Aladdin. Well, according to ChadGPT, Aladdin's Castle's very much a thing. All right, so now it's my turn because I'm way better at this game than Ryan. Yes. Did you know what Aladdin's Castle was? No, but I know Curtis. You're not thinking about Curtis. He literally gave us a hint. He doesn't know these things. He said it was subjective. I know how Curtis thinks. Okay. Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee. Okay. Okay. This is clearly a complete list. This is clearly Pokemon that Curtis is attracted to. And that's it because it's complete. So I don't have to answer anymore. I would not like this deal. That is obviously the answer. Incorrect. Coolest Pokemon of all time. And this is an incomplete list. The coolest is Adash. How could there be a list of five things that are the coolest? What are you talking about? Ryan, Ryan, am I the only one that feels like when he's saying coolest, he means most attractive? I think so. I think I should get points for that. Obviously, Adash isn't cool in any sense. It's not even the top one of its things. Doesn't matter. It's definitely ones he would want to bone. Yeah. I don't think Adash shows up then either. I don't know. I think I should get points for that. But I think Brad should get some points for that. I award no points. Ryan, it's your turn. Halloween Pales. McNugget Buddies. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. What? Teeny Beanie Babies. Hot Wheels or Barbie. I know this one too. God damn it. I know Curtis so well. These are all things you can get in a Happy Meal. And I don't know. Obviously, it's not complete. I'm going to say it's complete because Brad doesn't know anything. Okay. You get both of those points. It is complete. And it is just Happy Meal toys from specifically my childhood. They've had a bazillion toys. Obviously, you had other toys. What do you mean? You didn't go to McDonald's exactly five times and get a Barbie. What are you talking about? This is the complete list. You're finally learning how to play a Curtis game. You're finally getting it. This is why it's a Ryan game. I channeled Curtis. I saw five things around my house. I was like, that was all the things they gave out at McDonald's one time. Shut up. Brad, you get a telephone, an alarm clock, a car window plush doll with suction cups, a Funko Pop, and a black mug of this character in sunglasses and a caption that reads, Cool Cat. This might honestly be things Curtis is staring at right now. Before you said the last two, I really thought it was going to be like things in the 90s, early 2000s that no one uses anymore. But I'm going to say it's a complete list mostly because I have no idea what you would add. And I'm going to go with things your dad has in an attic that he doesn't touch. Curtis is not allowed in his dad's attic. So that's why. Yeah. Well, you're correct. It is a complete list. You are wrong about the category because my dad does not have any toys in the attic. He just has the boxes to every toy that we ever got growing up in the attic. The category was Garfield merch. Oh, that's a good one. I should have got that. You might be wondering who would collect Garfield merch. I have it in good authority. My sister-in-law threw a Garfield party for one of my nieces a year or two ago because she was of an age and had an interest in Garfield a lot. But one of her, I don't know if it was her coworker or somebody she knew collected Garfield merch and lent her a bunch of it to decorate the party. And she said he gave her like crazy box, like boxes and boxes. And she like had to say, I've got enough. And she just didn't take all of it. That's awesome. I don't think you say I've got enough. I think you throw some out. You don't even tell the guy. Just be like, look, I don't know what to tell you. I didn't get as many boxes as you remember giving me. And you throw out like six boxes. I don't know. Help the guy. Ryan, you get Shatner, Stuart, Brooks, Mulgrew. All right. It's obviously Star Trek Commanders. You can't let them finish so you know if it's complete or not, Ryan. I don't know if you finish that. It doesn't matter. Is it complete? It's not complete because there was that one guy in an episode and I didn't think he was a Star Trek Commander. His name was maybe it was the Scott guy. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know any of it. I'm going to say it's incomplete. Okay. Incomplete. Can you give me the collection? What is this a collection of? It's Star Trek Commanders. I already said that shit. Okay. People that ran the Enterprise. You're so close. I'm going to give you a chance. The Scott guy that you refer to. His name rhymes with Dracula. Scott Bakula. Oh, that's the guy I was looking at. All right. I'm going to give you half points for that because you need a little help. I'm going to give you five points for getting it right. No, Curt. You need a little help. I would love to award you five points for getting it right because technically this is Star Trek Captains. He chose the word Commanders. That's not the reason I'm not giving it to you. It's because this specific collection is Noel's attempt to get autographs. Okay. These are the people he had gotten autographs from and it's incomplete because he didn't get Bakula. Oh. Wait. You said Scott though. Yeah. That's what's incomplete. That's what's missing. Oh, so you know, but you gave me the complete list. So that's not fair. I never gave you Bakula. I made you guess Bakula. Yeah. Didn't you say Scott? Is that a different guy? You said Scott. You said you remembered the episode and you remembered it was a Scott guy and you're like, you couldn't remember his name. I just reminded you of Scott because you were on the right. I knew you knew it. You just couldn't remember the specific last name. And technically I was going off of last names, not first. So. I think I deserve a hundred points. You get six. You said the list one more time. Shatner, Stewart, Brooks, Mulgrew, and now Bakula. You're saying Scott Brooks isn't the guy. Now you listen to me closely. The next time you try something stupid, I will make you regret it. Okay. Brad, this is the final round. I got it. I got Pogs, Rocks, Coins, Yamakos. Oh, thanks. Curtis collects. He wasn't cool enough for Pogs. There's no way. I'm going to say it's complete. No, he did Pokemon cards. Brad, you get no points for it is an incomplete list, but it is absolutely things I have collected in my life. Yep. So you get five points for that. What was missing? Pokemon cards? Crazy Bones. Hmm. Crazy Bones. Fucking loves Crazy Bones. Oh, we call them Go-Go's for reasons. I don't know if that was correct or not, but we called them that. What's the final score? I feel like we're pretty close. Brad, I'm talking about Crazy Bones right now. Silence. Eggie was my favorite character. Was he your favorite? I don't remember, honestly. He was the egg with legs, Curt. He was the egg with legs. He was really big in our fifth grade circles. That sounds like one I would have enjoyed. I don't remember exactly. If I went home to my parents' house, I could probably still find 200 Crazy Bones. It was a glorious time, people. If you missed the Crazy Bones era, it sucks to be, though, because it was awesome. It was Red Rover, but with shitty, flicky toys. Well, Ryan, you've got 13 points. Lucky 13. Okay. Brad, are you good at blackjack? I'm pretty good at blackjack. I think you are, because you've got 21. Boom. Okay, but you robbed me of eight points for the whole stupid Star Trek thing. So, to be fair... We're not talking about some obscure technicality. First of all, you had a max 10 points you could have got for that. I gave you five. So, I don't know where you're getting eight from. What was the scoring system? You got one point if you guessed correctly how, whether the thing was incomplete. You got five points if you got the collection right, and you got ten points if you guessed the missing item. Also, it took you two rounds to understand what the game was, so... I don't understand the game now, Bradley. Got it. Good news, because the game is over, and now, Ryan, you're going to tell us what to expect next week when we cover the previous episode. It's season nine, episode seven. Blah-zy-boy. Oh, I read it. Blah-zy-boy? I don't know. I read it. Blah-zy-boy. Yeah. Blah-zy-boy. It's obviously Blah-zy-boy. Reefer Manis takes a hold of Marty again as he gets stuck in his stupid chair. Interesting. So, to translate for you, Curt, he gets high on drugs and then gets stuck in his chair. You mean like he took, like, three or four Tylenols instead of the two he's supposed to? What do you mean? He lights a couple of the Tylenols on fire and inhales them and then gets stuck in this chair. He blazes, Curt. Huh. Sounds dangerous. Oh, it definitely is. At this stage, chairs are a threat. All right. Well, we'll find out next week if that's what we're going to see. That will do it for us. Thanks to Gavin McLeod for our theme music, and thank you for listening.
