Narrative:

Discussion with first officer distraction me. I started descent late. I accidentally missed crossing restr, by 600 ft and 2 mi. ATC asked if we would be able to make crossing restr. I thought we could and attempted to make the restr. In future, I will limit all conversation during dscnts into terminal areas, even above 10000 ft. Supplemental information from acn 338224: we were cleared to cross ramms and maintain 15000 ft 90 plus mi from the intersection. At 55 DME, center contacted us to ask if we could make the restr, we were still at FL230. Captain began a 3000-4000 FPM descent. I asked him if he wanted the propellers forward. At 46 DME, we were 1000 ft above assigned. I told the captain direct fqf. I centered the radial and started running in-range checklists. I looked at my needles and they were 1/2 scale fly right. The captain had dvv still. ATC asked if we were deviating around some WX. I first blame myself for being a complacent first officer. My second problem was lack of rest. For the captain's fault, he was also 'out of it' that day. He showed up with white athletic socks on and spilled his coffee on the EFIS panel during the runup. He also performed no walkaround before the runup. His attitude was far too casual. We were preoccupied with a discussion of where in den he could purchase black socks. From now on, the left seater is going to find a mini-captain in the right seat!
