Episode Recap – Doc’s Dishwasher Cupboard & Cousin Ethel2:21 – 5:55

A

AdamHost

2:21

So we start with just a phenomenal intro.

A

AdamHost

2:25

I've been commenting on how I really like the way that they're setting the scene before the plot happens.

A

AdamHost

2:30

And the scene getting set is Doc in the middle of inventing a cupboard that doubles as a dishwasher.

Roz StrandGuest

2:35

Yeah.

Roz StrandGuest

2:35

Yes.

Roz StrandGuest

2:37

Which I actually want.

Roz StrandGuest

2:38

I want this to work.

B

2:40

Yeah.

B

2:40

It basically, it's like one of those collapsible shelf things.

B

2:46

Yeah.

B

2:47

That goes down

Roz StrandGuest

2:48

into the dishwasher.

Roz StrandGuest

2:49

Yeah.

Roz StrandGuest

2:49

Is what you assume from looking at it.

A

AdamHost

2:52

I feel like that's what he's going for anyways.

Roz StrandGuest

2:53

Yeah.

Roz StrandGuest

2:54

And that'll get confirmed later.

Roz StrandGuest

2:56

Yeah.

Roz StrandGuest

2:56

And pretty quickly he reveals why he's...

Roz StrandGuest

2:59

Because Doc is into a lot of different things.

Roz StrandGuest

3:03

And normally it's just curiosity.

Roz StrandGuest

3:04

But this one has an ulterior motive.

B

3:08

Oh, that's right.

B

3:09

He's a little spiteful.

B

3:10

Apparently his cousin Ethel said, Doc, why don't you invent something useful? Yes.
