To his dismay, Frasier realizes that he hasn’t really made any new friends since moving to Seattle. In an attempt to remedy the situation, he announces on his radio show that he is open to meeting new people. After receiving a number of bizarre phone calls and faxes from potential “friends,” Frasier agrees to meet Bob.

They rendezvous at Cafe Nervosa, where Frasier quickly comes to realize that he and Bob have very little in common -- particularly after Bob goes into excruciating detail about his love for barbecue. Just when Frasier is about to tell Bob he doesn’t want to be friends after all, he notices that Bob is in a wheelchair, and doesn’t have the heart to “dump” him.

As time wears on, Bob’s friendship becomes suffocating. For his own sanity, Frasier “comes clean” with Bob, explaining to him that they just don’t have anything in common. Bob is crushed, and tells Frasier that if he was being dumped because of his wheelchair, then he would understand. Willing to say anything to get Bob off his back, Frasier decides to blame the wheelchair. With that, Bob and the rest of the patrons of Cafe Nervosa turn on Frasier in disgust.
