Instead, it served a new purpose. To offer a place for Frasier to sit and existentially spiral. But what else could the Powder Room be? We will find out in a new segment we are calling Extreme Makeover Powder Room Edition. You're so proud of that name. You should have heard the previous name. Now we have to. It was so bad. Dual Purpose Powder Dome. All right, let's stick with the Extreme Makeover Powder Room Edition. I don't hate it. I didn't like the Dual Purpose. It was a tough start, but like, yeah, it's kind of fun. Kind of a fun twist at the end. I wanted to do something like Power Up, like Powder Up, but it doesn't, that just sounds like you're doing cocaine. All right, I'll be playing this ridiculous game that probably makes no sense. We are going to collectively redesign the Powder Room to have a second purpose. It's still going to be a Powder Room, but it's going to serve some other purpose. So to start, we need to pick what that will be. So who's got thoughts on what they would like this Powder Room to have double duty doing? Let's go full man cave. Let's put a bar in there. Let's put a TV. Let's get like, you know, like a barber's chair so you can do the haircuts in there.

So you've got two vacuum tubes. One has that little canister that you can write notes in and send off to Daphne's room. Or just send it straight to her bedroom. And the other one, it doesn't take a canister. It's just sort of an open, always-on vacuum that you can toss your peanut shells into. Fine, I would go for that

- Occasionally, people might have to do, you know, like they might throw up in there and you don't really want to get it on the nice like pleather or whatever we've got.
- First of all, we need to upgrade the toilet no matter what.
