"As far as I'm concerned, Sam Malone is the most important person to set foot in this apartment!"
This quote got me thinking. What famous people have been mentioned in conversation?
The only one I remember off the top of my head is Dwight Eisenhower
EDIT : Thank you all for refreshing my memory!!!
After recently attending a screening for the 50th anniversary of 'All The Presidents Men', I immediately spotted Miss Warren (Valerie Curton) from 'Give Me The Chair'!
I'm sure most Frasier aficionados noticed John McMahon (Fletcher Gray) in a few scenes. But I think from memory, Valerie Curton only had the briefest of cameos. Rather proud of myself for spotting her. She has a very distinctive voice!
Anyone else noticed the Frasier cast or guest stars in films? Any obvious ones I have overlooked?
I think this is considered a solid B level episode amongst the sub. That's the general consensus I've got. I've rarely seen it in people's favourite episodes list or top 10s etc
It really does have a bit of everything that I'd consider 'classic Frasier'. The central premise is funny and engaging. The siblings snobbery and elitism is juxtaposed nicely with their Dad's down to earth musings. The subplot involving Daphne links back effortlessly to the Crane's misfortunes. The scene with Roz and her date (who happens to be Niles's doctor) is great for laughs, with some biting one liners and cattiness between them which is emblematic of their relationship
"Oh look, a whole group of naked men..."
Give me those you philistine you don't even know his name!"
And the final scene culminating in the Cranes meeting Sir Trevor is poignant and hilarious in equal measure. Bravo!
I know I'm merely skimming the surface of the episode, and I'm sure most of the sub is very familiar with it. But on a recent rewatch it's really become one of my favourite episodes in the series
What do others think? Is Hot Ticket a certified classic or a missed opportunity?
All that needs to happen is
Rod Stewart swears his allegiance to the Teddy Bears

Ma Gran refusing to offer me a cup of tea and a biscuit when I visit her
We can still do it can't we?

*Nico O'Reily a recent player who fits this criteria*
Describing someone's appearance as 'ugly' is gross and demeaning.
Why is it so casually used and normalised in modern society? It's absolutely vile. We want to label everything. You're otherwise either 'chopped' or 'cooked' - or just 'mid'. Or maybe you're a 'hottie' or a 'baddie' (insert male equivalent)
It's so pervasive. Everyone has personal preferences and are attracted to different people. But there is absolutely no need to attack their looks. It contributes to a world where nuance and empathy is shunned at the expense of a cheap, unnecessary insult
No one you've met 2 or 3 times is your friend. At best, they are a casual acquaintance
We live in a society that glorifies friendship. We're now "besties" immediately, we have such a "connection" or a "spark" with someone based off one interaction. That's not real friendship
That barista isn't your friend. Neither is the cashier or the bartender. Neither is the guy/gal who paid for your drink or who had a quick conversation with you down the pub
People will call me cynical (and maybe close minded) but I believe that friendship should be nurtured over a long period of time. In modern society, we are very quick to call someone a friend when they have done the bare minimum (been friendly, pleasant, hospitable)
Could someone clarify what a "timber baron" is? This was mentioned as Harlo Safford's job. Would he have been actually working himself to acquire that wealth or would it have been family inherited? In court its mentioned he was a CEO, so its obvious he was extremely wealthy.
Thanks! Niche request
I really enjoyed this episode. Does anyone else find it a bit underrated? It feels fresh on a rewatch (after several years) The sibling rivalry isn't as catty and mean which I prefer, but more farcical. Frasier discreetly asking Harlo if he can slide down his pole really made me laugh, and the outro with Niles's dramatic court testimony to a totally bored judge was really amusing
Also, the subplot with Martin trying (and failing) to watch the boxing fight is great! So many fantastic lines.
"...I didn't even know it was boxing season"
Grind size? Ratios? Dripper? Fresh Beans? Or a combination of all the above? Does personal preference factor greatly into it?
I've had a Hario V60 paired with a Fellow Carafe for the past few months, and while I can produce decent brews, I can't intuitively understand how to elevate my 'coffee game'
Is it mostly a trial and error process or are there a few determining factors which will immediately improve the quality of my coffee?
For example, I've been using a Colombia blend the past 2 weeks (1:15 ratio) which has notes of Forest Fruits, Almond and Caramel. The mouthfeel is very 'heavy'. Its not unpleasant at all but nothing noteworthy
Any help or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
