The Hoodoo Factory experienced some technical difficulties in the production of this episode. We apologize in advance if this isn’t quite the Hoodoo quality standard you’ve come to expect.
In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the episode Led Zeppelin II. This is the third and final episode in our “Dave and Lisa” unit. Part A is the game show portion of the Hoodoo experience. In the ABSA Fever round we’ll discuss some of our favorite scenes, quotes, keepsakes, and more. In the Marty Party round we’ll discuss our answers to these hard hitting questions:
Is it The Real Deal (I buy it) or The McNeal Perspective (I’m selling it)?Catherine’s best slap came in this episode.
Dave did the right thing by not firing Joe for starting the fire.
Dave was more wrong for pranking Matthew about the bathroom than Bill was for trying to lead a group down the stairs, against orders.
It was fair for Beth’s mother to ask if Beth set the fire, assuming that Beth has called her for reassurance in similar situations in the past.
Have an Adequate Day by playing “would you rather.”Would you rather accidentally set a fire at work by being careless OR have your date break up with you by sending security to escort you from the building?
Would you rather have your boss corner you 2x a day to talk about his sex life OR have your boss tell you he doesn’t care about your point in front of everyone at a staff meeting?
Would you rather work with a jealous ex who keeps asking about your dating life OR reconnect with someone knowing there was a good reason for a split, but not being able to remember why?
Would you rather have everyone know that you’re hooking up at work with the boss OR be told your building is on fire, hear about it on the news, and you have to sit tight for now?
Bonus consequence: Have a piece of a popcorn kernel stuck in your teeth for 24 hours.
We hope you’ll play along. Feel free to tweet us your answers by tagging @Hoodoo_Factory on Twitter. Come back Thursday for Part B where we’ll discuss the episode in greater detail.

In this episode of The Hoodoo Factory we discuss the episode The Breakup. This is the second of three episodes in our “Dave and Lisa” unit. Part A is the gameshow portion of the Hoodoo experience. In the ABSA Fever round we’ll discuss some of our favorite scenes, quotes, keepsakes, and more. In the Marty Party round we’ll discuss our answers to these hard hitting questions:
Is it The Real Deal (I buy it) or The McNeal Perspective (I’m selling it)Bill stopped harassing Catherine on her birthday after Catherine used Bill’s birth certificate to do something “super duper sweet” for Bill on his birthday.
Matthew senses Dave and Lisa have a connection, and then tracks down Bill’s birth certificate. It’s Matthew’s most competent day of work in the entire series.
“The Break Up” is a good title for this episode.
Bill is the worst dressed main cast character in this episode.
Have an Adequate Day by playing “would you rather”Would you rather have your first name be a traditionally gendered name for the opposite sex OR Have the same name as a popular, instantly recognizable somewhat divisive celebrity?
Would you rather have everyone at your job assume, and openly make frequent jokes, that you and a co-worker are cheating on your jealous spouses with each other (you are not) OR have a secret affair at work (both single) but have to make up excuses and lies to cover it up at least twice a day, and may get caught?
Would you rather have your assistant tell everyone unflattering details about your relationship with a co-worker OR have a meeting with your boss and co-worker about concerns over you and your co-worker dating?
Would you rather have a co-worker that constantly tries to finish your sentences OR Have a co-worker who, every time you hand something to another person, will ask, “What was that?”
Bonus consequence: Have a mildly embarrassing detail about yourself get posted on Twitter by someone with a large number of followers.
We hope you’ll play along. Feel free to tweet us your answers by tagging @Hoodoo_Factory on Twitter. Come back Thursday for Part B where we’ll discuss the episode in greater detail.
