Author and dear friend Khalonji Bulluck enters the Barone Zone to help the fellas wade into the shallow end of the hellmouth that is Season 1, Episode 8 of Everybody Loves Raymond. First, Khalonji answers Question Zero, employs a puppet metaphor, and gives a tripartite review of “In-Laws.” Then, as they go scene-by-scene through the episode, they discuss Robert Culp and the Columboverse, the truly unhinged studio audience, and how Debra’s parents are really just nice people. Plus, Khalonji writes a better ending for the episode, Adam disdains “Stomp”, Alex makes the fatal mistake of suggesting a spin-off for Robert, and Mike says his famous catchphrase.

Follow Khalonji on Instagram, send in a hot take for Judge Debra or a precious Raymembrance to us on Instagram, on Facebook, on Reddit, or to [email protected], and check out this week’s sponsor, BarkBox, at postfun.info/ads!
