    "The Ride Along" / "The Family Bed"

    Feast your ears on the 2021 Must Love Raymond Thanksgiving Special—a recap of episodes 17 and 18 of Raymond's 2nd season containing no reference to Thanksgiving whatsoever. There is, however, an extended discussion of a skit written by Phil Rosenthal for the 2000 White House Correspondents' Dinner, in which a lonely Bill Clinton wanders the halls of the White House and experiences the the wonders of eBay for the first time. To find out what he purchases, you'll have to listen to all 80 glorious minutes of the episode.  "The Final Days" White House Correspondents' Dinner Skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbbUYhyoWz8&t=252s

    "Marie's Meatballs" / "The Checkbook"

    In this episode, Matt and Tim are forced to admit that the 15th and 16th episode of Everybody Loves Raymond are not that bad, leading to one of the shortest and least energetic episodes in MLR history. Regarding the low energy, other contributing factors include stuffy noses and the overwhelming solemnity of Columbus Day. (MLR denounces all forms of anti-Italian hate!) Pour yourself a glass of Nyquil and strap in.

    "Civil War" / "Mia Famiglia" (feat. Kevin)

    The episode you've all been waiting for. Unable to resist the prospect of discussing Ray Romano's sole (?) appearance in full Confederate regalia, former host Kevin returns to join Matt and Tim in their deconstruction of the 13th and 14th episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond's second season. Of course, by "deconstruction," we mean "multiple extended riffs on The Olive Garden" and an absolutely unforgivable amount of Italianese gibberish. Show a little respect to three wounded veterans of the Barone Civil War.

    "The Letter" / "All I Want for Christmas"

    The dog days of summer have descended upon the offices of Must Love Raymond, and the MLR crew turns in an appropriately sluggish and irritable performance. In this episode, Matt & Tim discuss the 11th and 12th episodes of Raymond Season 2: one of which Ray Romano himself considers the show's first "classic episode." Without bothering to cross-reference earlier installments of the podcast, this episode boasts the fewest number of audio drops in MLR history. Is the dialogue just that riveting?

    "The Gift" / "High School"

    In this episode, Tim earns his wings as a true-blue co-host of Must Love Raymond by announcing that he is quitting the show. Though the absolutely bulletproof nature of his contract renders this an empty threat, it is nonetheless a momentous occasion. What is it about the 9th and 10th episodes of Raymond's second season that drives Tim to such desperation? It may have something to do with "Funky Town."

    "Working Late Again" / "The Children's Book" (feat. Kevin)

    Time flies when you're putting off watching Everybody Loves Raymond. In this installment, Matt and Tim are joined by the show's original co-host Kevin, who pleads shamelessly to be reinstated. Though most of that audio had to be cut for the sake of propriety, we were still able to piece together an hour-plus of analysis of episodes seven and eight of Raymond's second season. This episode is, for some reason, somewhat more vulgar than usual. Also, there is a crackling sound that crops up from time to time, due to the fact that Kevin was recording his part while standing over a bonfire, camped out behind MLR Headquarters.

    "Golf" / "Anniversary"

    In the latest installment of MLR2.0, Matt and Tim take aim at the fifth and sixth episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond's second season. As always, the recaps are brisk and efficient, and the commentary is clever, insightful, and full of heart. If you don't already love Raymond, you certainly will by the end of this winning entry in the MLR canon—that's the MLR2.0 guarantee. Along the way, you may just learn a little something about Harold Pinter, Mr. Freeze, and the average cost of a set of golf clubs.  P.S. — For the real Must Love-heads out there, this episode also contains the first and only instance of the "bleep" sound.

    "Brother" / "Mozart" (feat. TV Land Dan)

    Pretty nice town you've got here. Would be a shame if some boys got back into it... In the latest installment of Must Love Raymond, the patchwork duo of Matt and Tim carry on in Kevin's absence, this time with the help of their friend "TV Land Dan," who in the span of the episode is never referred to by that name. Dan helps get to the bottom-hole of last episode's TV vulgarity debate, and he sticks around to help unpack episodes 3 and 4 of Raymond's second season. Other topics include Sucrets, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and Three Six Mafia. If you love Raymond, you will love this podcast! It's that simple!
