And have a good old time doing so.
Let's do dis ting.
Just do a de ting.
All right.
All right. Here we go. He got a first question here. All right. Get it, John. Get it, John. All right. This was a really lovely fun bunch of episodes. Hey, John and Aaron. Happy Friends Day. Happy Friends Day to you. Thank you for being here with us. How would you two have handled the police situation at Central Park? Would you have tried any of the tactics of the boys tried or would you have tried something more out of the box? Have either of you been in a physical fight as an adult? If so, how to go?
not as adult and i would use the old tactic of trying to out crazy them uh to freak them out
dukey on the floor dukey on the floor just be like i'd get all amped up and i'd pull my pants down
and go yeah you don't want to fight a crazy guy and they'd give you my hat back and i would go on
with my day yeah what about you man uh golly that's a better tactic i don't know what i would
do honestly like i guess i would try to like talk to like talk
the situation. I don't know, maybe grab
the hat. I should
brush up on my taekwondo in case
anybody wants to steal
my chair or something like.
It's been a minute. I don't know.
I mean, there's a lot of fun
options. You got a challenge to a dance
off. I would like that actually.
Yeah. I think I could do okay in a dance off.
Dance off for the hat back. We really get everybody
in a circle and going like, oh,
oh, oh, you know, ride the vibes
and everything. You know, I could probably
cut a rug, you know, instead of
cutting a fool yeah yeah that was a wild episode though that was this was a very uh yeah vivid
medley of situations and scenarios very vast and different as every episode is so i yeah i appreciated
it but there will be no no fighting on this day no i like the way that that plot uh you know
rounded out though i like them like you know getting uh you know they're like the other two guys
run up and then they're like all four of them have to go get in a fight and then they come back and
they like you know kind to have respect i was like make these guys season regulars but
not it's not gonna happen but uh but nah i mean yeah i would kiss them like joey yeah i would be
like hey look i got an audition why don't you let me lay one on and then if you don't like it
you can keep my hat but if i do a good job you got to tell me and you've got to give my hat
tell me you spread the word so uh yeah that's what i would do i would try the joey
Appreciate you
Tadda
Hey guys
Tara Tara Tara
we had that we clarified this
at one point
and now my brain is stuck
in the 50-50 zone
Hey guys
Hey to you
The one with the two parties
Is fun
If you were at Monica's party
Would you try and escape
And go to the other party
Across the hall
Or would you stay
A Monica's very organized party
And make sure your pen cap
Is closed tightly
Now we're going to the other party
We're going to Chandler
and Joey's party
it honestly it's tough because it really depends on what games Monica has boggle because i'm a
uno fiend so if she had uno at the party i'd probably stay at the uno side stay at the calm
or chill side where i can actually have conversations where as joey's party would be fun a lot of dancing
but i feel like i got to get overstimulated quickly yeah it's like i would want to go to the party at joey and
chandler's because that seems more like outwardly fun um but at the same time
If I wound up at Monica's party, I would probably feel bad attempting to leave.
So I would likely, you know, stick it out and keep my pen cap on.
So you would stay out of guilt.
That sounds like a thing that I would do, you know.
Yeah.
I was like, she worked really hard and she really cares about this.
I'm like, I don't want to be a jerk about it.
So I'll stay.
I'd communicate with her.
I'd be like, hey, I'm going to come back.
I promise.
I'll be back in like 30 minutes because I need I need what do they call it like the the setup room or like the cool down room or something like that oh yeah it's the oh god the staging area
staging area I need me the staging area because I need to like reset myself before going into the party I appreciate the fact that there are two parties actually that's why that's like the perfect scenario for me honestly man if there was some kind of regimented way to like shuffle people back and forth which I get that they couldn't do because of you know the situation
with Rachel's parents, you know, I think that would be pretty fun, actually.
Because I like a game, you know?
I like an everybody get on board with something.
Yeah, man.
You know, but yeah, at the same time, yeah, the Joey party seems more fun.
But I don't know.
I would want Monica to have a win.
I would also be like that.
I would be like, I don't want her to feel bad.
Yeah.
After, you know, getting invited and all that.
So that's what I would do.
Anyway, Michelle, thanks for chiming in.
Rachel's mom is played by the legendary Marlowe Thomas,
who was TV's very first single girl in the city
on the famous 60s show, That Girl.
I'll have to check some of that out.
Let's see what a 60s take on that sort of story would look like.
She is my favorite friend's guest star.
Out of all the guest stars and TV shows you've ever seen,
which once are your favorite.
Oh, man, I've seen a lot of shows.
That's crazy.
Howdy, that's a that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a,
tricky one i mean we just and i wrapped dexter season four and that was
pretty iconic okay pretty iconic guest star lit cow lit go yeah absolutely is there another
one that you're not saying uh is that the one um i mean they've had great ones across the board
i mean you could you could you could throw uh freaking uh you know Miguel Prado in there you could
okay he's great then uh uh doesn't Washington shows up no not Denzel I was I was going to say Benjamin
Brad, but it's not Benjamin Bratt.
I get their names confused because Benjamin Bratt took over for Jimmy Smith's playing
Bail Organa.
So like there's a, yeah.
Yeah, but, you know, that's definitely one.
I'm trying to think.
There's probably like a, no, there's probably like a, spoileries.
There's probably a King of the Hill person that I would, I don't know, throw in there.
Don't look.
I'll look at a list and see.
what it could be golly i should go back in my database i know the psych was notorious for having
oh psych has so many good guest stars shit right i mean ed lover in uh at all i was on there
ed lover with the come on son uh freaking carrie elwis as despero excellent recurring guest
star on psych um let's see i'm gonna just search one for me i think that um how much your mother had
some good ones
for I remember correctly
yeah
no freakity do
these are all King of the Hill
ones oh BudaSack
Chris Rock is BudaSack
on King of the Hill
it's pretty great
freaking Alan Rickman
as the
as the Renaissance Fair
guy Snoop Dog as
Alabaster the white pimp
oh my God on what
Alabaster
on King of the Hill
yeah sorry
these are these are just
these are
for me. Yeah, there
is. That's amazing.
Oh, a little bastard. I love that.
Yeah. Um, goodness. I don't know.
Who's another good one?
To do you got. Who you got? Who you got? Who you got? Oh, uh, William Neeson on Atlanta
was great. Oh, that's right. I forgot. Yeah. I'm going to go with that.
Casey Williams on Atlanta was also great. Also crazy. There's a lot of good ones on
Atlanta. I don't know. This is another one of those questions.
It's like I will come up with my favoritest one later on tonight or something like that.
Yeah. Because there's so many shows. We've seen so many shows over the course of our lives.
Syke has a bunch of really good ones. Have you seen all of Syke?
I've seen all of the show Syke, but I haven't seen the movies that came after the show.
Here, let's let's get a good, let's let's remind ourselves.
Yeah. John Cena, that's right. He was on Syke.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
He's a freaking, uh, uh, uh, Jules's brother.
Oh, my God, there's some really iconic ones.
Oh, I just Elba on the office.
That's, oh, damn.
Yeah.
That's right.
Holy crap.
And Will Farrell, when he showed up as a guest star, and James Spader, too, I think they
were all really good on the office.
Yeah, James Pader is my favorite, actually.
Ali Sheedy on psych.
I'm the lizard king.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Oh, goodness.
Oh, yeah.
It's right there.
George's so many good people.
Bruce Campbell was on psych.
That's right.
Oh, Ed Lover's hard to beat, though.
Come on, I just say that to myself sometimes.
Yeah, leave us some of yours, though.
I'm sure there's also probably like a Simpsons one.
Anytime like James Earl Jones shows up in a tree house of horror, it's pretty sick.
Yeah, there are other ones, but this is going to drive me nuts.
So leave your favorite guest stars down below.
Yeah.
We'll shout some more out if we come up with any.
Haseena Ali, thank you for chiming in on the friend talk.

Hope. Hi, guys. Hope you're well. Better now that we're talking to you.
yeah what are you both looking forward to the most going into season three and do you and what do you think season three will bring oh it looks like we're about to get a lot more janis in our lives in season three so that's fun and sadly we're going to get significantly less tom selik as richard iconic guest star role i get why you asked that question or you know
i get why michel asked that question yeah he's great fantastic um yeah seems like ross and rachel are pretty chilling
they ended on a high note thank god and who knows what happens with phoebe will she
eventually see her dad that's what i want i want phoebe to meet her dad and some crazy
guest are that we have never considered to be on the show before like i don't know who's like
an older oh white gentleman who could be her dad um how about richard jenkins who's that
richard jenkins he was uh he's this guy he's friggin the dad
in stepbrothers.
He's in a lot of stuff.
Okay.
He's a great actor.
That's not who they would probably cast, though.
That was a very specific pull.
He's not as sexy as Tom Selleck, unfortunately.
I think he is, but not traditionally.
Will Ferrell's not old enough.
I don't think the guy who plays Al Bundy was old enough at that point,
either.
Ed, is that Ed Harris?
No, no, no, it's...
He's unmarried with children.
Ed something, or Ed O'Neill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How Bundy must be at O'Neill, right?
Yeah, there you go.
He's here.
We're going to get Bernie Sanders to play her dad.
There we go.
Well, well.
That'd be pretty funny.
It'd be a random poll.
Phoebe!
You've got to come home to this house.
You've been hanging out with your 1% friends.
Who run all the coffee shops.
I love that.
I love it.
We're her dad's Morgan Friedman.
We have.
Michael Cain is her father.
That would be the best.
Phoebe, I don't know why you've been gone so long, but I'm glad you're back there.
Oh.
I think we should sit down and catch up on my stilt, on my love of the stilt game.
I need to confirm if Homeboy was in another episode, Genevani, because you said he's easy.
All right, all right, all right.
let's let's do
I'm going to do
okay
was
Giovanni
Rubisi
well okay

role in friends

yeah

than one
role in friends

also yes yeah i was different person the first time that's right actress called jennifer gray
yeah i thought she was different yeah i was like clock that though that's good took over
for the role of the second episode featuring the character
okay jana marie hup
taking over from jennifer gray
wow
so there we go
I hope they both meet in the next season
but yeah I don't know I mean like
yeah definitely some shake-ups with Monica
you know more
things for Ross and Rachel
uh Joey
continuing to sort his life out
and yeah
will Phoebe connect with her
father otherwise just
more high jinks and cool guest stars.
It was cool when George Clooney and Noah Wiley showed.
I thought it was pretty sick.
John Claude Van Dam and Brooke Shields also pretty crazy.
Yeah?
Yeah.
All right, Jay Rushden.
Yes.
Question.
Who in Friends got the best fashion of the season over there?
All right.
Overall.
I think I'm tossed between Phoebe and Rachel.
Rachel has some fun fits this season.
Yeah, Phoebe is always, like, got something interesting and neat.
because i feel like phoebe's style switched up from a season one yeah a little bit but her hair
as well yeah change her hair up a lot and she has more like different hair styles more frequently
i feel like but uh yeah i feel like phoebe is number one and then uh i don't know i'm got
a charmed by chayman has some fun ties yeah he's got like neat interesting shirts on occasion he
had the grinch hat gunther had the best style this he gunther though like MVP like the new york city
tie.
Yeah.
Can't beat that.
I think Gunther's
pretty sick.
Those are the two
that are the three
that come to my mind.
Yeah.
Like the other two
other guests
or other friends
dress well,
but I feel like
they fill it in theme.
But none of them
made me go,
ooh, what are you
wearing today?
But Phoebe definitely
still has
top tier fits.
Like she had a whole
necklace that were made
of dice.
Yeah.
Oh, that's fun.
That's cool.
But then Rachel had her
like Mr. T fit on.
Yeah, that's right.
Or Mr. Terrific fit.
Yeah.
So that was cool.
I think, I think Phoebe's my fave.
But then, yeah, Rachel, pretty drippy.
Chandler can be surprisingly drippy.
He can be very drippy.
And then, yeah, Gunther for best supporting drip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll take that.
I like that for sure.
But leave us here as down below.
All right.
Got a little bit trivia.
Trivial.
Thank you, Tara, for chiming in.
If you were Rachel, oh, this is a question.
All right.
This is a question.
This is an overflow question.
if you were Rachel, would you have agreed to be Mindy's made of honor?
And how do you think she handled that?
No.
And they made the entire wedding about her.
So poorly.
But then again, the other guy made it about her as I'm like, there's just a weird wedding overall.
I would not have gone.
I think she did the best that she could.
And it was like, yeah, just like chaos attached to her the whole time.
I felt very bad because, yeah, she's trying her best to be graceful and dignified.
And, yeah, I respect.
the game because yeah like after what we saw with Mindy in that episode I'm like I get the specifics that led to this but also like wow that's a big old choice and yeah I felt real bad for her that they made yeah such a deal out of her because yeah she's doing her best out here she's doing her best but I don't know what do you guys think would you have agreed I don't know if I would have agreed to that honestly no no no that seems like a lot but yeah and then next from Tara
that was the slowed down version
there you go do you think monica made the right decision to end things with richard
i've heard other reactors say it was richard's decision to have a baby if he could stay with
monica i feel that she did the right thing he could end up resenting her or the child
i agree with you i'm gonna keep it short because we're short on time but yes i think that we
uh got to witness a very real relationship in reason for ending i feel like she didn't make the right
decision because he wasn't doing because he wanted a baby he was doing it for her
and long rolled
he made some valid points
being super old
and he already has kids
and I understand
he's like he's in the part
of his life
that he doesn't want to have kids anymore
so it's a very understandable reason
plus she's still very young
in short
yes it was the right decision
though I am very sad about it
yeah I love the articulation
of their relationship
and I felt really bad
because yeah I was just like
this is a rock and a hard place
and I love that he was willing
to give it a go
but that she was discerning enough
to be like yeah if it's a have to
and if this is a major compromise
for you and if you're going to
sacrifice, yeah, this life that you want to have for this, you know, we are at different stages
in our growth and that's not going to, yeah, ultimately make us both happiest. And as a hard
choice, man, and that was a beautifully acted moment. And I hope he appears again. Like, I could
imagine him appearing again. But it does certainly seem like we are breakup bound. Um, so yeah,
that was heavy. And that's going to stick with me for a minute. But a shout out to
frigging Eddie, Adam Goldberg. That was wild. The, the whole first episode with him watching
Chandler's sleep and all the weird gymnastics
it took to get him out. He was very fun.
The Phoebe old yellow game
and the boys getting to love Richard
and, you know, capitalizing
on all his time. I thought that was funny.
And yeah, Phoebe watching all the movies. The one
with the bullies, obviously. And then
the two parties was great. Charlie Sheen,
really fun appearance with the chicken
pox and Joey, Joseph, that whole saga.
And then, yeah, the wedding. This was a really, really fun
run of episodes. And I'm glad we could all
share it together. So, uh,
Thanks for being with us, gang.
Thanks for being with us, gang.
We love you.
We appreciate you.
Stay friendly.
Stay cool.
And we'll see you guys in the next batch.
Adios.
Oh, wait, wait.
