The Barone Zone

Robert may be the most attractive Barone, but who’s the most attractive man on Long Island? Pull into Newsstand Station as the hosts flip through Long Island Magazine’s 100 Sexiest People (number 1 will shock you) before breaking down Season 1, Episode 14 of Everybody Loves Raymond. As they go scene-by-scene through “Who’s Handsome?”, they welcome Monica Horan’s first appearance as Amy, confirm that Robert is superhuman, and continue to antagonize the police. Plus, Adam recounts Valentino’s funeral, Alex empathizes with Ray’s large pores, and Mike celebrates his first Tinder match.

Adam is away rescuing our special friend from the Lynbrook jailhouse, so Mike and Alex do their best to steer the ship, perform the theme song, and take care of business as they welcome improvisor, comedian, not-author, and dear friend Joseph Schneider into the Barone Zone to talk Season 1, Episode 13. They talk about Schneider’s working knowledge of Everybody Loves Raymond, cover his childhood love of Yes Dear, Just Shoot Me, and Hot in Cleveland, and issue a fairly suppressive disavowal. Then, they go scene-by-scene through “Debra’s Sick,” and as they do, Schneider and the Sports Guy go toe to toe on Terry Bradshaw facts, they ring in a new set, and the boys nail down their stage/pen names. Plus, Mike drops a stinger, Alex orders some Flintstones gummies, and Schneider laughs in the face of the Lynbrook police and, far more offensively, the Baronmeter.

It’s Christmas in July as the Barone Boys unwrap Season 1, Episode 12 of Everybody Loves Raymond. First, Alex gifts us a tantalizing chapter of Raymond fan fiction, prompting Mike and Adam to frantically search the Barone Zone’s butler’s pantry for something to give him in return. Then, they break down “The Ball” scene by scene as Adam explains away our continuity errors, Alex eats the mustard, and Mike loves Frasier.

Some special credits: This episode features a staged reading of this, which uses sound effects from here and music from here.

Continuing a long legacy of athletic excellence, the Barone Boys are breaking down Season 1, Episode 11 on this, a classic guestless episode. First, a listener’s Raymembrance prompts them to watch Patricia Heaton’s appearance on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” (#SeventyNickels). Then, they go scene by scene through “Captain Nemo,” discussing Robert’s heat resistance, whether Kevin and Doug Heffernan are the same person, and Ray receiving his reward in the kingdom of sex (not heaven). Plus, Adam refuses to live, laugh, or love, Alex spies a boom, and Mike rests in prosperity.

It’s a Robert-sized episode as theatrical impresario and dear friend Olivia Hartle joins the fellas in the rebuilt Barone Zone to break down Season 1, Episode 10. First, they discuss Olivia’s life with Raymond, Roseanne, and all manner of #Women. Then, they go scene by scene through “Turkey or Fish,” listen to some tap dancing, and describe real details about Lynbrook. Plus, Olivia takes over as the Sports Guy, Adam has Christ on the brain, Alex learns why a couch full of pantsless men is not adorable, and Mike flips the bird (so to speak).

Olivia would like you to look for a mutual aid organization in your area, but we are selfish, and you can 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, Animaker, at postfun.info/ads!

This week, after a certain “piano man” puts the Barone Zone out of commission, Adam is forced to go off-site to interview musician, actor, and dear friend Keith Buxton about when, how, or if Raymond entered his life. They discuss Keith’s impressions of Season 1, Episode 9, which Barone he most identifies with, and of course, reveal their top 5 Eddie Murphy movies. After the break, the Barone Boys covertly meet at Lynbrook’s most square-jawed bar and grill, the Stallone Zone, to break down the finer points of “Win, Lose, or Draw.”

Keith’s music can be found on on your preferred streaming platform, and you can follow him on Instagram as well.

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.

Improviser and comedian Valerie Blain enters the #BaroneZone to help the friends break down Season 1, Episode 7, “Your Place or Mine?” They discuss Val’s absolute lack of familiarity with Ray, mention January 6th only slightly more than usual, and of course, break out the Baronmeter to measure Ray against the greats. As the ethics of Cerealgate loom large over the episode, Val says both “raw dogging” and “live nut,” Adam tries to remember if “Junior” is problematic, Alex spills the…salsa?…on Peter Boyle and Patricia Heaton’s offscreen relationship, and Mike claims to drink milk recreationally.

As they prepare to break down Season 1, Episode 6 of Everybody Laves Roymond, the friends read a story from the Digest, play a chaotic round of Judge Debra, and get a masterclass in ‘90s basketball from The Sports Guy. Then, as they go scene by scene through “Frank the Writer”, they follow the episode’s lowercase b story, feel apprehensive about the smash cut to Japan, and evaluate Roy’s handling of events on the Baronmeter. Plus, Adam is genuinely moved, Alex betrays his morals, and Mike’s future on the podcast hangs in the balance.

The hosts welcome their first ever guest as music industry mover-and-shaker Alexa Madison enters the #BaroneZone to share a couple of jaw-dropping Raymembrances and discuss Season 1, Episode 5, “Look Don’t Touch.” Together, they listen to Pete Holmes’s “Romano Sings” sketches, guess the plot of the 2006 Ray Romano/Kevin James movie “Grilled,” and put forward a theory about Leo’s death. Plus, Alexa points out Ray’s tomato-based diet and Nemo’s immovable breadsticks, everyone ignores Adam’s reference to the 2017 documentary “The Gospel According to André,” Mike explains who George Steinbrenner is, and Alex soft-launches his art criticism segment, Shades of Ray.
