    You and I have much in common in that we are very smart and obviously handsome. I'll shoot you a Teams invite next time I'm in my WeWork space and we can talk business and investments.

      Every time I watch Frasier I write down 5 business ideas. I have a book of them if I can just find the right minions.

        trade-offer

        1. just today i was driving past 5th and main and i was hungry and started thinking about a burger so wouldn't it be a great idea to open a burger joint on 5th and main?

        dammit now i could go for a burger. alexa, where's the nearest burger joint? ... 14 minutes? are you fucking kidding me!?

        1. why the hell doesn't someone open a burger joint closer to me? that's an obvious business idea right there.

        2. note to self: as climate continues to climate change, ice will inevitably become more expensive. invest in ice futures now!

        3. shit! what was that one i was thinking about earlier? i had it and i thought to myself, i'll write it down during my frasier time, and now here i am and i can't remember it. fuuuuck! angery

        4. frasier suits rental! fucking genuis! i wouldn't have to store all of my own frasier suits, and i'd have a wider selection at any given time, and someone else would do the laundry! how didn't i think ofthis before!?

          1. What if I owned a vape store

          2. What if I owned a video game store

          3. What if I owned an adventure jeep company

          4. What if I bred horses

          5. What if I grew lots of tomatoes and sold them for $1 each

          Just off the top of my head whilst watching tonight's episode.

    When I was a kid someone insulted me and said I watch Fraiser, at the time I thought "cool, I'm Mr. Smarty-Pants" little did a know he called me a lib. Same guy went on to be a marine after school so I was thoroughly owned like a soy boy.

    I generally have a thick skin but this show. Just a few minutes of watching makes me irrationally angry.

      Oh, a show based purely on rationality and being sophisticated makes you angry? Typical. "The pen is mightier than the sword" - Frasier Crane

    I've only seen a few episodes so apologies for not knowing the lore, but why do Frasier and Niles have Boston Brahmin accents while their dad sounds like a working class guy from Brooklyn? Was their mom just that fancy?

      Frasier lives in Boston in Cheers, so it'd be a continuation of the character's affect from there; Niles is introduced afterwards so may have gone for a consistency angle (or just shorthand for being snobs)

      Martin would have been around for a while before settling down and having kids (his past isn't mentioned as much other than his time in Korea and career as a cop – in Cheers he's canonically dead), but also John Mahoney had a Mancunian accent in reality and faked an American accent once moving to the US so may have gone for "generic American"
