Katz gets a fanny pack to hold his cell phone, beeper, electronic organizer, and various other technological gadgets. He is self-conscious, though, and asks Julie's opinion of fanny packs ("I think they're hideous," she says). Stanley, helpful as always, suggests a mule to carry everything. Ben doesn't like the fanny pack -- "I don't like the new you. I wasn't thrilled with the old you" -- and isn't afraid to say so. Katz wants him to guess how much it cost: "I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with 'dateteen.'" "You paid 15 dollars for that?" Trying to prove the fanny pack's worth, Katz wants Ben to call the office when he's out so that Laura will have to call him on the cell phone. Ben first refuses to do it (Katz: "I ask so little of you." Ben: "And that's the irony"), then agrees but screws it up. Ben eventually puts a baked potato with all the fixin's in the fanny pack and offers his dad a plastic bag instead.

• Denis Leary: His kids are like "monkeys on acid"; they don't understand the concept of the telephone; "don't buy the toys that make the noise"; the Darth Vader bank that never stopped making noise; therapy is odd because it's two men in a room discussing things, which normally would be called "interrogation"; he's Irish, and his whole family looks like him; Irish people deal with stress by bottling it up, lashing out, and then taking a nap; men shouldn't wear shorts; he and Katz argue about their fictitious books: "It Doesn't Matter What I Do When I Get Angry," and "It Does Matter What Dr. Katz Does When He Gets Angry."
• James Leemer: Caught a guy at the store comparing apples and oranges; puts black marbles in the ball-polisher at the bowling alley; makes cement sand castles; got his girlfriend pregnant ("Well, actually, I really really pushed her to adopt"); went to a Food Fair where they had colonial food -- "It was stale."
