To be honest it's pretty impressive that Marty remembered those sounds, most people would have been too distracted by what the kidnapper was saying he was going to do.

[@ZayMeisters]

nah that constant sound will register in your mind its called passive memory or something. Once monk made him calm down and focus a sojnd like that would be easy to remember. (Especially cause its repeated). At the end of the day I'm rambling and this is just a show tho😂😂😂

[@Sword_Man_YT]

@@ZayMeisters If you were in a normal phone call than yeah, but Marty was receiving news that someone has kidnapped his mother, if that was me I wouldn't be paying attention to sounds in the background, I would be too freaked out.

[@Bersztipflag]

His mother made him do it! Thud, clang!

[@benc.s.1393]

So sweet of Monk to try to make Marty look good in front of his mother.

[@Bersztipflag]

We don't know much about Monk's relation to his mother? She was very disappointed in him, I think. That could play a role here.

[@kishascape]

[@jwill5892]

He knows what it's like to have parents disappointed in him.

Let's appreciate Jason Alexander for a second lol He has been on Friends, Monk, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Tom and Jerry, The Cleveland Show, Two and a Half Men, Malcolm in the Middle, Star Trek and many more. What a LEGEND!

[@luckylife5325]

Absolutely. Right. I also love his actual part in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Tony Shalhoub and Jason Alexander play best friends. Jason is author of plays on Broadway. I hope he'll stay in the cast.

George seems as capable a detective as Duckman.

Wtf, i thought i recognized that voice at 0:05

[@donaldleyton4977]

I read somewhere that Michael Richards was originally considered for the role of Monk. He actually had his own show called the Michael Richards show following Seinfeld where he played a private detective, but it only lasted several episodes and was basically just Kramer as a detective. It was decided he was too goofy for the role of Monk and not serious enough, and they went with Tony Shaloub instead.

[@kishascape]

Can’t stand ya!

[@catialeoncini98]

I think this is one of the episodes where Adrian was at his most badass in solving a case... i don't know he just seems so confident (you know, until the "I'll wait out here" 😂) plus it was really nice of him and Natalie to let Marty take the credit in front of his mother😊

[@monwheajeng2717]

Wow, they call him Marty, but the writers didn't bother changing the character or mannerisms at all from George Costanza. I guess they figured if it works, don't mess with it!

Fun fact Michael Ricards who played Kramer on Seinfeld was considered for the role of Monk, so how crazy would that have been for George and Kramer to be acting together but in different roles?

I don't. I don't how like how he plays the guys as such a wimp even before they figure how he did it. I wish he mixed in a little more George when he is pretending to find all the clues.

[@stevenzeoli6147]

And so we have discovered someone crazier than Mr. Monk.

[@seangriffin2053]

This doesn't look all that different from how George Costanza would be as a witness or a PI. Jason Alexander definitely knows how to play someone insecure and high strung.

They should have done a episode where Sherlock Holmes and Monk had to solve a crime, Monk got knocked out and dreamt it all but Monk and Sherlock Holmes solved the real life crime while Monk was unconscious.

[@ghosty918]

Monk is Sherlock Holmes though, he is a modern reimagining of the neurotic overly observant consulting detective with a sidekick that helps keep him grounded, and an equally damaged/gifted brother.

[@blankpuddle0249]

Why the duck is there a shack under the pier that would get drowned every day?

[@ccggenius]

Well, the sign said it was a bait shack. I'd assume that the eminently floodable building has something along the lines of built in live bait traps, and the place being under water a good chunk of the time is a feature, not a bug. Either that, or it didn't start there. Beach erosion is a thing, and I could definitely see a wooden shack washing out to down there after a hurricane or what have you.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Does this episode ever explain why that little wooden building was down in the tidal area?

[@HadienReiRick]

Just a guess , but it says baits on the side of the shack, so I assume it means during hide tide it would get filled with sea critters that get trapped when the waters recede again.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@HadienReiRick Thanks, Hadien. I hadn't noticed that sign: "Jay's Bait." I'm pretty sure that would mean it's a shack were fishermen can buy bait. That explains why it's close to the water. But not why it's THAT close!
