The Barone Zone

The Barone Boys take to the gentle waves of Long Island Sound in Roboat Boatrone following a violent confrontation in Lynbrook’s Baguette District. While the heat on the street dies down, they take the time to go scene by scene through Season 2, Episode 21 of Everybody Loves Raymond, “Traffic School,” with substantial portions of time devoted to Frank’s squirrel, why anybody cares about the quality of Robert’s teaching, and a glaring error spotted by the Sports Guy. Finally, they send a Baronmeter in a bottle to the Will and Belinda Bates Foundation (no relation) and Lynbrook University with their final thoughts on Ray’s performance in this episode.
