Mind your manners, simpletons; the time to discuss Frasier has come. Spencer takes the reins at Van’s behest as the Boob Tube Boys try to uncover all the things that made this NBC sitcom such a critical and commercial hit.

The boys start off early in the show’s prolific run with “Focus Group,” an episode about Beast from X-Men ruining Monk from Monk’s life. Spencer fields questions about the series as the resident expert, while Brian keeps bringing up Money Plane.

Later on, it’s time for a big heaping batch of Apple Podcasts reviews!

Podcast Episode

Episode 30 | September 29, 2021

Host

Spencer

About

After a lackluster first encounter with Frasier, the BTBs are pleased to talk about “The Ski Lodge,” a farcical and funny episode that ranks among the best the podcast has covered.

Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Marty, and a dozen other people are headed out on a ski trip, but there’s just one problem: everyone is horny for the wrong people. Van is baffled by Kelsey Grammar’s physical confidence, while Spencer elaborates on Niles and Daphne’s history. Brian talks about a flavor of Lifesavers he enjoys.

The guys recap their feelings on Frasier, and Boob Tube Hot Potato continues as Spencer reveals the show he picked for Van to host (should he choose to accept it)!

Highlights

-Which Crane brother is most desirable?

-Find out where Frasier and Niles got their names

-A discussion of Frasier’s cultural jokes: are they too general, or are they too esoteric?
