This week, Will and Steve talk hunting, fax machines, and the devilish manipulation of Niles Crane.

Frasier might have been the titular character of the hit sitcom, but Niles was clearly the star of the show. Let's take a look at what made him so hilarious (and lowkey relatable) and unpack why he provided such an important balance to the show!

It's time for the (whopping) second half of our 2023 gift guide! We tackle dads, sisters, in-laws, friends, coworkers, and some ideas for presents to ask for yourself when that feels like a necessary thing.

I'm a dedicated audiobook listener and | don't need any more cookbooks or board games. They won't do a donation in lieu of gift. Gift giving is their love language but only if the gift is very practical or they got it on a significant discount. We're fortunate to be in a financial position where I'm generally able to buy practical as they're needed, but my in laws hear ""I don't need anything!"" as a snub.

He's very cosmopolitan/urbane, lives in the city center even though he's 60, takes public transit, legitimately does his weekly grocery shopping at boutique cheese/bread/specialty food stores, always dressed impeccably. OWNS a beautiful specialty meat slicer that he has in his kitchen and uses for fresh/thinly sliced prosciutto (before you go there I've done ham hocks more than once). Interests: art, food and entertaining, culture. Loves to read, usually big sweeping historical books. Always the hardest person to shop for on my list because his taste level is very out of my price range and I'm tapped out on the specialty food theme. Dad recently become a grandfather (2 grandsons and one more coming in Jan) and it was a little weird for him - he loves my sons but the image of an old guy in a rocking chair teaching kids how to whittle didn't jive with his understanding of himself. He's starting to settle in. Has a very unique grandpa name with many indecipherable layers of historical context and family history that the grandkids will probably never understand. Buys them beautifully made clothes that they would immediately ruin. Talks to them about their shared interests: boats, planes, and other well-designed machines.Hoste Bottled Cocktails Regalis Black Truffle Microwaveable PopcornNordic Ware Indoor/Outdoor Kettle Smoker Custom OpinelBerea College Intersections Charcuterie BoardBig Nights PlannerSuzanne Sullivan Porcelain Playing Cards or Bone Inlay Domino SetBlackwater & Sons Return Address StampBillion Oyster Project donationRex Design Oyster PlateMy dad. 82 years old. Loves to read serious nonfiction but bus all the books he wants. Loves French and Italian wine but his taste is too expensive for me and he has all the gadgets. Generally expensive taste that's above my pay grade. He dresses pretty dapper and lives in NYC. Gets lots of compliments on his glasses and clothes. Grills meat for dinner nearly every night but stuck in his ways when it comes to cooking. Very much a creature of habit. Likes jazz and classic rock.

He's a 67-year-old workaholic lawyer many have described as "quite the character, huh?" He takes himself very seriously, though he also can be quite mischievous and loves to stir the pot. His interests include fishing, geopolitics, and monologuing. I truly feel like I've explored all gifting avenues already with him: consumables for his major sweet tooth, outdoorsy gear that he already buys himself, political or economic books that won't lead to arguments (he's conservative, I'm liberal), and seemingly every dog toy or black Labrador art print under the sun. He doesn't drink and mostly sticks to heart-healthy food. While he has many entertaining childhood stories, it seems unlikely he will set aside time for something activity-based like StoryWorth, as he spends most of his at-home free time watching YouTube videos about things like beekeeping (yes, I've gotten him multiple artisanal honeys that had little impact).

She loves Disney (I have secured Hanna Anderson Disney Christmas PJs), Rudy Giuliani (!!!), and believes enough conspiracy theories that we had to change our will about w hich uncle would get our kids if we died.

But for his very first job he worked as a prison counselor. (Cheers S8E26 Cry Harder)2. Perhaps Frasier was inspired by a bizarre chapter in his childhood; Marty used to take him and Niles to the police station and made a game out of locking them in an empty cell. He would then quote unquote “lose” the key. (Frasier S1E15 You Can't Tell a Crook By His Cover)3. Frasiers' operation was impressive from the get go - his office was in a downtown high rise (Cheers S5E24 Cheers the Motion Picture)4. He employed a full time secretary - a Mrs. McGrady, a woman who had been working for Frasier's mother since 1966. (Cheers S4E25 Strange Bedfellows P2)5. That's why he found himself at Golden Brook - a sanatorium in Connecticut (Cheers S3E2 Rebound P2)- in the fateful spring in 1984. He was working there as a consultant.6. Two female patients had a disagreement about a game of croquet and things turned violent. Frasier stepped in and broke it up (Cheers S3E2 Rebound P2)7. Let's travel further back in time to 1889, the year a tavern opened up at 112 1/2 Beacon Street in Boston. (Cheers S8E6 The Stork Brings a Crane)8. She introduced them all to Frasier, and there he met Ernie “Coach” Pantusso, Carla Tortelli, Cliff Clavin, Norm Peterson, and “Mayday” Malone himself. (Cheers S3E1 Rebound P1)9.

In the fall of 1984 Hester visited her son in Boston. (Cheers S3E8 Diane Meets Mom)13. In early 1985, a 32-year old timber heiress was in distress - the gates to her stately home weren't opening. As she banged her fists - and later a tire-iron - against them, Niles - who happened to be driving by - pulled over to assist. When their hands touched they both felt a spark and low and behold, the gates opened. That heiress' name was…Maris. (Frasier S1E17 A Midwinter's Night Dream)14. These two happy couples did meet in Seattle in 1985. (Frasier S3E14 The Show Where Diane Comes Back)15.

(Frasier S8E7 The New Friend)3. The young scholar truly jumped right in, pledging a fraternity right away. He went through a hazing process and although the details are vague, the rituals included handcuffs and/or a strapless brassiere. (Frasier S2E3 The Matchmaker)4. His passion for the subject was reignited after he attended an epidemiology seminar by one Dr. Bagely. (Frasier S7E16 Something About Dr. Mary)5. He played “Man #2” in a production of ‘Can Can,' and the experience made him seriously consider giving up psychology for the arts. (Cheers S8E9 Two Girls for Every Boyd”)6. He acted throughout his years as an undergraduate and later appeared as the Pirate King in the Pirates of Penzance' (Frasier S4E14 To Kill a Talking Bird), Col.

(Cheers S5E15 Spellbound)8. Unsurprisingly, Frasier began to dabble in activism - he started wearing crystals, he dissolved herbs under his tongue and listened to whale flute music while exploring alternative medications. (Cheers S10E10 A Fine French Whine)9. Frasier composed a poem called ‘Bangladesh, Dhaka Before the Dawn.' He performed it one night at a gathering called The Human Collective.

He studied with Dr. Bennet Ludlowe, an author, innovator and educator. Frasier saw the man as an idol and inspiration. (Cheers S3E13 Whodunnit)16. He also studied at the feet of Dr. William Tewksbury, a man Frasier considered as his mentor. (Frasier S8E9 Frasier's Edge)17. He began to manifest many symptoms he was studying about in his textbooks, leading to an unfortunate summer in 1975 when he became impotent. (Frasier S3E20 Police Story)18. He too joined a fraternity - Phi Beta Kappa (Frasier S1E15 You Can't Tell a Crook By His Cover)  19. and became something of a fixture on the Yale stage. He played Tartuffe in Molière's play of the same name, and Yale Daily News said he had ‘the magnetism of Marlon Brando, the charm of Danny Kaye, and the range of Laurence Olivier.' (Frasier S4E18 Ham Radio)20. [Niles] took impromptu trips to Vegas (Frasier S2E13 Retirement Is Murder), and even stole another man's fiance. (Frasier S11E21 Detour)21. During his senior year he was rocked by a series of misfortunes. After contracting mono, he missed four weeks of classes. He studied round the clock to catch up on this missing work but right before final exams, his girlfriend broke up with him - to start dating his roommate. Niles had a nervous breakdown. He was found curled up in a freezer bin at a nearby grocery store. (Frasier S11E8 Murder Most Maris)22. Frasier meanwhile graduated with honors in 1979, specializing in Psychosocial Behaviorism.

(Cheers S5E21 Simon Says) (Frasier S3E4 Leapin Lizards)25. It didn't help that he had fallen face first into some poison ivy. He still attended - as a blotchy, itchy mess. He ended up sitting with the most pathetic people there: the Chess Club's Barbershop Quartet known as The Checkmates. (Frasier S6E2 Frasier's Curse)26. She learned to play pool (Frasier S1E15 You Can't Tell a Crook By His Cover), she discovered psychic abilities (Frasier S8E20 The Wizard And Roz), and even starred in a children's TV show called “Mind Your Knickers.” (Frasier S1E9 Selling Out)

Frasier attended Seattle's prestigious Bryce Academy, a preparatory school with an impressive legion of alumni. (Frasier S6E2 Frasier's Curse)3.

His very first role on stage was Bottom in a production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He received a standing ovation (Frasier S4E19 Three Dates and a Breakup Part 1)12.

(Frasier S9E19 Deathtrap)13. For the trouble, Frasier wrote a short story about the experience that he published in the high schools' literary magazine.

He also started writing a society column for his school's newspaper using the nom de plume Alastair Mowbray, (Frasier S6E19 IQ)15. 1968 had another important milestone for Frasier: his first kiss.

Jill was not thrilled about the experience, and in response she hurt Frasier in such a way that he had to visit the nurses' office. (Frasier S8E17 It Takes Two to Tangle)16.

In one memorable incident, Frasier received a standing ovation night after night for his role as Conrad in Bye Bye Birdy.

(Frasier S3E23 The Focus Group)18. Frasier wrote a musical to be performed by the other students and made sure that Niles had a good part. (Frasier S7E13 They're Playing Our Song)19. They even collaborated on the spring musicale, writing cheeky songs that somehow got past the keen eyes of teachers and faculty. (Frasier S1E22 Author, Author)20. [I]n addition to theater, he also joined the Existentialist Club, where he was named “Most Likely to Be,” (Frasier S1E18 And The Whimper Is…)21.

After renting their house for ten years, the owners of the property - a Mr. and Mrs. Lasskoph- asked the Crane family to vacate. (Frasier S9E19 Deathtrap)25. That summer, Frasier lost his virginity.

[NB: Due to file-corruption issues, this episode's sound isn't stellar; apologies for any inconvenience!] For a third-choice star in a first-draft action movie, Dennis Quaid's quite good in 2008's Vantage Point, a fridge-magnet-poetry "thriller" script whose "what if In The Line Of Fire + 24 + Dave gave DQ the adrenaline trots" logline invited multiple weary comparisons to Rashomon in (uniformly negative) reviews. Despite dialogue some film student shook out of the Michael Bay Presents: Boggle cup, a Frogger algorithm used as a car chase, inconsistent blocking, an inert title, and Quaid adopting the wrong posture for a Secret Service agent, we did find a handful of things to enjoy, like William Hurt doing an imitation of that flappy dude outside the car wash while getting shot, and imagining Niles Crane listing budget rental-car models.

It's still NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our second week of Not On Disney+ Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2003 to pick a Disney-acquired 20th Century Fox romantic comedy that asks the bold cinematic question, "Hey, remember when romantic comedies didn't suck? Remember when they were actually romantic and actually funny and you'd actually enjoy watching them? Yeah, us neither, but apparently the director of that cheerleader movie does, and he somehow convinced Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bridget Jones, Niles Crane and the lady from Leap of Faith to star in his Rock Hudson/Doris Day fan film, so what the hell, let's market it so piss-poorly it won't even really develop the cult following it'll richly deserve!"

Nichole Perkins knows the power of pop culture: She has seen how Frasier's Niles Crane inspired her to overcome her own professional hang-ups, how Prince taught her critical lessons about sex, and how Miss Piggy served as both a role model and a cautionary tale about modern femininity. She writes poetically about all of that and more in her essay collection Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be. Writer and poet Saeed Jones said of the collection: “Hear the dark liquor of her laughter rippling behind her sentences in this magnetic memoir as it explores a journalist's obsession with pop culture and the difficulty of navigating relationships as a Black woman through fanfiction, feminism, and Southern mores.” In this episode we talk to Nichole about why we should take pop culture seriously, how it helps us discuss difficult issues, and why both Niles and Daphne and Kermit and Piggy are kinda messed up.

Season 2. Episode 3: Bad Therapy. And here’s the question we want to answer for history: We know that Frasier is the most decorated sitcom in the history of the Emmys. We know that the show was almost flawlessly written and acted. We know that Frasier and Niles Crane were lovable, learned and pretentious. We know so much about the Crane Brothers. But do we even the slightest idea if they were competent psychotherapists? Frasier and Niles were the flaccid superheroes of 1998. From the Elliot Bay Towers they plotted their takeover of Seattle’s upper crust. They obsessed over methods for dating women two to three leagues above them. They chafed at their father’s no frills common sense. They drank countless lattes and even more sherry. Across nearly 270 episodes, Frasier was mostly perfect and always lovable. That being said, great entertainment can obscure deep and dark mysteries, such as: How was a part time, AM radio therapist able to live like a man with generational wealth? Was Frasier Crane more of a ladies’ man than Jerry Seinfeld and Same Malone? Was he secretly the most testosterone addled, alpha male on TV? Most importantly, over eleven seasons, did either Frasier or Niles even once demonstrate basic competency as a therapist or physician? The more we pull at the thread from Niles’ cardigan, the more the Crane brothers’ story unravels. Join Matty Wishnow, Kevin Blake and panelist, Josh Kaufman, as they determine if Niles and Frasier upheld their Hippocratic oath. A very special thank you to Quincy, Matt, Gabe and the Blue Duck team for editing and sound design.

Will & Jace got curious what the Frasier cast was up to in the 90s besides Frasier, so as a special "Tweener" episode in between seasons 2 & 3, they decide to explore how Daphne Moon and Niles Crane ended up on the sitcom Caroline in the City! Enjoy.

For the Hobo Madness Finals, Niles Crane takes on John Lutz. But there's one last twist that will change everything.

Viene al Hotel Jorge Juan un invitado especial: mi hermano Álvaro. Nos tomamos una copa mientras diseccionamos el documental de Michael Jordan que tanto está dando que hablar estos días: "The Last Dance" (Netflix). Analizamos la controvertida figura de Jordan, el papel de Pippen, los 90, Rodman, hablamos de aquellos Bulls y de nuestros recuerdos. ¿Era Jordan un mal tipo? ¿Tienen que ser los deportistas un ejemplo a seguir? Luego me propone un juego para construir la sit-com perfecta y hablamos de Friends, The Office, Seinfeld, Alf, etc. Notas del podcast: - "The Last Dance" (Netflix): https://youtu.be/5AawkjOjQJo - "No son las zapatillas", Nike (2008): https://youtu.be/ot4d2RmQQQQ - "Jordan rides the bus", ESPN: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x24gcww - "No soy un ejemplo a seguir", Charles Barkley: https://youtu.be/R8vh2MwXZ6o - LeBron James, "What should I do?": https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfdup3 - Seinfeld - "Was that wrong?": https://youtu.be/ZB62oaOeqR0 - Mejores momentos de Niles Crane: https://youtu.be/PUJfjcE2lPs - Alec Baldwin en Friends: https://youtu.be/0xFrBfeKJoo - Brad Pitt en Friends: https://youtu.be/rJ0yqOavyPo - Sabrina y Salem: https://twitter.com/sabrinacdbrujas/status/1032682996514648064?s=21

We're down to the Final Four competitors in our Hobo Madness tournament. Niles Crane takes on Mike Ehrmantraut and John Lutz takes on Ron Swanson. But there's a monkey thrown into the wrench that may tip the scales.

Your podcast heroes deal with a certified stinker ad they review Drone, featuring Worst Janeway, Seven the Real Girl, and a special guest star that looks like a Power Rangers villain crossed with Niles Crane. It's terrible!

Matt talks about how he started saying he "stans" things and Julia deals with perv trolls on her increasingly more popular Facebook page.

"I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs..." Writer, "Thirst Aid Kit" co-host, and Niles Crane super-fan Nichole Perkins joins host Sandy Allen to dissect the immensely popular sitcom, Frasier. They discuss the Crane brothers' complicated relationship to their patients and each other, and whether Dr. Frasier Crane, the radio psychiatrist, needed a psychiatrist of his own.

I truly truly love Esther Perel’s podcast Where Should We Begin?. It’s a great way to listen to what great therapy sessions can actually sound like (in this case, couples’ therapy sessions). Nobody has covered the Crane brothers, especially Niles, with as much depth and nuance as Daniel Ortberg at the The Shatner Chatner; I referenced this post analyzing the Crane Brothers as stock clowns. Frasier is a show driven by a laugh track and I was therefore reminded of this excellent episode of 99% Invisible about laugh tracks.

First, some exciting news: we've got Stand Partners for Life T-shirts! Check them out here, and show your Stand Partner love! For this episode, Akiko and I just had a one-word outline: Mahler! And it turns out we had plenty to say about his symphonies. What's it like to learn them, refine them, rehearse them, take them on tour? What do committees look for when you play Mahler? Hear about the time Akiko was mortified to play Mahler 9 with David Hyde Pierce (Frasier's Niles Crane) in the front row! Or the time Nathan got a death stare from Daniel Barenboim during... well, also during Mahler 9! And as to Nathan's comment that Gustav Mahler was perhaps the New York Philharmonic's first music director? He was actually its ninth! Nathan was under the misapprehension that the NY Phil began around the same time as so many other American orchestras, in the early part of the 20th century... in fact, New York got its start in 1848, whereas Mahler wasn't born until 1860! Mahler spent the last two years of his life, 1909-1911, at the helm of the Philharmonic.

Whether you typically crave a drip coffee or something a bit more intricate and of the Niles Crane type of order, we can all agree that caffeine is necessary, right? On this episode, Steve discusses our collective love of coffee and his journey to discover his “coffee footprint.” What exactly does it take in terms of land and resources to maintain our daily coffee habit?
