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.

There's no evidence to say that he'd be good at that. Answer qualification: Like he's just not good at doing work. Especially if he's painting for someone else.
