Don't forget the family
RainDogJr13 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This episode has one of the most hilarious and, definitely, one of my favourites flashbacks of the old Earl. Is just amazingly funny all the things that Earl and Randy use to do just for some free beer, actually the ruined the life of Scott, an ex golfer who use to think that he was an excellent golfer but when the things start to be different he begins to have an obsession for return to his level so he left everything (wife, job and dog) just to be again a near professional golfer.

But what Scott didn't know was that Earl and Randy were the ones who fix his games just for the free beer that he invites to everybody every time he has a great game. But this two are "natural born criminals" so it was easy for them to start abusing of Scott's generosity and soon there wasn't more free beer and in consequence the obsession of Scott begins.

Of course when Earl wants to fix everything, things are more complicated and at the same time he realize that his list is becoming an obsession, just like Scott with golf. And here is confirmed again the great brotherhood with Randy and finally Earl realize that family will always come first.

Karma comes between two brothers
pezmetcalf3 January 2015
I saw this as part of a weekly series, and was moved by the accuracy of how music can portray the feelings of the emotions of two relationships. That of a lost lover (the golfer {Leonard from TBBT} with his 'golf wife') and two brothers (Earl and Randy).

I defy anyone to watch this episode and not feel like life does have a meaning, and that through all the trials and tribulations that hit us from day to day, we can always come out better on the other side!

The music is fabulous, hitting all the right notes (both musically and emotionally) with a deserved hark back to the iconic film Smokey and the Bandit.

The icing on the cake are the 'out takes' that inter textually reflect on the original film.

More than worth a watch, a must of a watch.

Where is my age again?

Revisiting this series in 2022, I am amazed at how much humor is censored now. In this episode, at one point, the burning of the cross and the swastika is played out. Is this possible now? Now people have become gentle, they want as much tolerance and racial diversity as possible in films, although we have to admit this spoils everything.
