Pull out your milk pens, TV Guide, and Windows XP update manual. The Speech Guys put their minds and hearts to the questions posed by the 1990s and early 2000s TV Dads. A speech given by Debra Barone, played by Patricia Heaton, in the TV series, "Everybody Loves Raymond" is the focal point for discussion. Mike's grandmother, Audrey Tinoco (Episode #12: "Holey Shoes, Mom-Made Clothes, and Spooky Radio Shows in the Great Depression"), makes a return appearance to introduce the crew on the phone call! Here's some snippets to see what this one is all about... "What explains the chasm between "Father Knows Best" and 'Everybody Loves Raymond'?" "Is relatability in TV and film the conceptual response to nihilism?" --Matt "Tim Taylor.. neighbor has eyes and a forehead." --Matt "Men and women can't live together ABC said. So, what holds them with each other then? That was the point of the show, 'Home Improvement'?" --Landon "The housework by parents is even more important now as Grandma Tinoco pointed out because kids just see the parents on the couch--not working, if they're not doing that." --Landon "If my daughter is okay with being treated that way (by a jackass), I'd take that as a fault of my own as a father." --Ross Post-credits scene... Ross breaks down how to do the Current River like a champ.
