I really like this episode as once again when one Crane brother gets something, the other brother gets jealous. I know some get tired of this, but I don't. I like it that they go through major trials in life yet still remain pretentious snobs. When Martin gets fed up with the whole deal and he brings Frasier down to the club, I busted a gut. Especially when Martin kept hammering at Niles in front of all the old wine club members with, "Are you gonna let your brother play? Are you gonna let your brother play?" And telling Frasier to "zip it!" Treating them like the grownup children they are.
Then there's the guest star: Jennifer Coolidge. She almost walks away with the episode as the hilarious German physical therapist, Frederica, who puts Martin through hell as he's slacked off on his exercises while Daphne is at the "fat spa." At first Frasier is concerned as he hears his dad scream in agony from the other room, then when he gets an interesting phone call about Niles and hears Martin scream again, he hollers, "People on the phone here!" 😆 One of my favorite moments in the series. But Martin (and Frasier) gets the reward of Frederica's marvelous cooking. Nice episode.
