1.18 Recovering Pessimist (w/ ELR's Steve Skrovan)
Everybody Loves Raymond writer/producer Steve Skrovan graciously talks to the Barone Boys about his time on the show and the story behind "Recovering Pessimist," as well as some stories about the writing process, working with Larry David on Seinfeld, and having athletes as guest stars. Wow!
After that, the friends try to remain accessible to any new listeners by doing a thoroughly normal scene by scene breakdown of Season 1, Episode 18. Along the way, they feel sorry for Robert, feel sorry for Ray, and most of all, feel sorry for that poor girl trying to practice her dog sledding on Long Island. Finally, they wrap the episode up the only way they know how - by rating Ray's performance on the Baronmeter.
Episode talk starts at 25:59, but why would you skip ahead on this one?
Steve will be launching a Substack soon, where he'll share new jokes and more of his amazing stories - keep an eye on his Twitter (@skrocentral) for news about that! As for us, send in a hot take for Judge Debra…

1.13 Debra's Sick (w/ Joseph Schneider)
Adam is away rescuing our special friend from the Lynbrook jailhouse, so Mike and Alex do their best to steer the ship, perform the theme song, and take care of business as they welcome improvisor, comedian, not-author, and dear friend Joseph Schneider into the Barone Zone to talk Season 1, Episode 13. They talk about Schneider's working knowledge of Everybody Loves Raymond, cover his childhood love of Yes Dear, Just Shoot Me, and Hot in Cleveland, and issue a fairly suppressive disavowal. Then, they go scene-by-scene through "Debra's Sick," and as they do, Schneider and the Sports Guy go toe to toe on Terry Bradshaw facts, they ring in a new set, and the boys nail down their stage/pen names. Plus, Mike drops a stinger, Alex orders some Flintstones gummies, and Schneider laughs in the face of the Lynbrook police and, far more offensively, the Baronmeter.
