Eric Utley –
This episode made me mad. I didn’t realize how good-natured Joe could be toward the less fortunate until I listened to this episode. He tries to help out a homeless man, Raymond, who completely takes advantage of him. Let’s just say I would have gotten the police involved way before Joe let this situation escalate somewhat out of control. Am I a bad person for having such disdain for Raymond? Maybe. I really wanted to sucker punch Raymond by the end of the episode. This also comes with Third World Country. I enjoyed Raymond more than this episode, but Third World Country left me with an image of a line of toothless men on the beach that I will never get out of my mind. As you can expect of Joe, both episodes entertain.
