Must Love Raymond

Feast your ears on the 2021 Must Love Raymond Thanksgiving Special—a recap of episodes 17 and 18 of Raymond's 2nd season containing no reference to Thanksgiving whatsoever. There is, however, an extended discussion of a skit written by Phil Rosenthal for the 2000 White House Correspondents' Dinner, in which a lonely Bill Clinton wanders the halls of the White House and experiences the the wonders of eBay for the first time. To find out what he purchases, you'll have to listen to all 80 glorious minutes of the episode.  "The Final Days" White House Correspondents' Dinner Skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbbUYhyoWz8&t=252s

In this episode, Matt and Tim are forced to admit that the 15th and 16th episode of Everybody Loves Raymond are not that bad, leading to one of the shortest and least energetic episodes in MLR history. Regarding the low energy, other contributing factors include stuffy noses and the overwhelming solemnity of Columbus Day. (MLR denounces all forms of anti-Italian hate!) Pour yourself a glass of Nyquil and strap in. 

The episode you've all been waiting for. Unable to resist the prospect of discussing Ray Romano's sole (?) appearance in full Confederate regalia, former host Kevin returns to join Matt and Tim in their deconstruction of the 13th and 14th episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond's second season. Of course, by "deconstruction," we mean "multiple extended riffs on The Olive Garden" and an absolutely unforgivable amount of Italianese gibberish. Show a little respect to three wounded veterans of the Barone Civil War. 

The dog days of summer have descended upon the offices of Must Love Raymond, and the MLR crew turns in an appropriately sluggish and irritable performance. In this episode, Matt & Tim discuss the 11th and 12th episodes of Raymond Season 2: one of which Ray Romano himself considers the show's first "classic episode." Without bothering to cross-reference earlier installments of the podcast, this episode boasts the fewest number of audio drops in MLR history. Is the dialogue just that riveting?
