And certainly, if you happen to be listening to this in review form,

Starting point is 00:02:53 or audio form, I should say, on a podcast platform of any variety leave us a little bit of a rating if you could very much appreciate as i say as the kids would say how you feeling just post season three openings um feeling good some interesting episodes in this block we had a couple of episodes that i guess didn't maybe play into the the larger narrative of the season, but we're still fun, isolated episodes giving some context into how our characters

Starting point is 00:03:33 interact with our bottle episode and getting ready, and then we had another episode of the flashbacks and the things that almost happened but didn't quite, you know, bloom into something more. So yeah, it was interesting. Peppering with some other fun tidbits about

Starting point is 00:03:49 people sharing more information than, you know, maybe their significant other would like them to. So, yeah, overall, a good block of episodes. How you feel, I feel, yeah, is an interesting one because this show certainly, yeah, is well known for the comedy and the, you know, ensemble and all that.

Starting point is 00:04:07 But I do appreciate as we've gone along that, you know, in a fun way, they do just, yeah, check in with walks of life that young people growing up in the city might be going through as they navigate, you know, growth and career and relationships and blah, blah. And I feel like, you know, the show manages for my team, taste to balance, you know, a lot of fun comedy with some stuff that, yeah, feels lived in and feels, you know, pertinent to life, I suppose, in sort of a, you know, digestible way.

Starting point is 00:04:37 So, like, yeah, that whole episode where everyone's kind of talking to each other and, you know, people are sort of learning about how to open up and how to discuss things with friends or, you know, what kind of things do you discuss with your friends and get, you know, second opinions about or other feedback on and, you know, soon pretty much everybody kind of knows these things and, you know, being comfortable with the fact that people talk to you. It's just like interesting stuff. But yeah, there were a lot of fun bits, obviously. The

Starting point is 00:05:02 gold bikini, certainly the Princess Leia bikini is like, you know, I feel like at this point just like a pop cultural nexus event that everyone must acknowledge. You know, I thought that was pretty, made for a pretty

Starting point is 00:05:19 funny game of that episode and then, yeah, Joey and Jan is trying to you know come up with some kind of solution to having to spend a lot of time together I thought was really fun and then yeah the one where no one's getting ready

Starting point is 00:05:32 or no one's ready like that one absolutely stressed the fuck out of me because I thought it was really well done as yeah or real time like it's interesting to look at and we've had some questions about the writing and that was an episode that particularly

Starting point is 00:05:47 kind of honed in on the fun of yeah taking all the different like it still had multiple A, B, C, different plot lines. And yet it is all kind of centered around the same event and the same kind of room at least and the same situation that all these other things are distracting from.

Starting point is 00:06:07 And that was really like, as again, kind of painful as some of it was, like it was really well orchestrated and it really felt like you were in that room. I felt very much with Ross in that episode. And I thought that was definitely a standout. was funny you know Chandler and Rachel

Starting point is 00:06:27 with the whole like boyfriend lesson thing and Ursula like the whole Ursula and Phoebe for you know David Arquette

Starting point is 00:06:35 thing was very strange I thought that was a very odd subplot I wonder if this is where David Arquette maybe met you know

Starting point is 00:06:44 friggin his wife for a long time Monica the actress plays Monica Courtney Cox he were married

Starting point is 00:06:52 yeah I didn't Real is they're made in real life? Oh, wow. A lot of that. Yeah, and maybe it was on scream. Because, yeah, this says he would later go on to Mary. So I, you know, Scream, what are we in with season three, 1997?

Starting point is 00:07:05 So, like, scream is... Scream is just happening. So maybe they knew each other from that and decided to bring him on because his star must have been on the rise. But, yeah, that was a very interesting appearance and subplot. Yeah, and Monica. I like the way they kind of spread out certain events. you know, Monica trying to get over

Starting point is 00:07:24 Richard and that being like a couple episodes worth of a thing and it's more focal and then as time goes on we kind of let go of it. The whole answering machine thing was very and it says here Matt LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder in the previous episode

Starting point is 00:07:41 which was written into the plot. So I imagine yeah something must have happened there and even that was just kind of fun that you have to bring that stuff in but you know it was funny that They have that, you know, and it's neat when real life pokes in. And then you had Phoebe being Joey's agent.

Starting point is 00:07:59 I thought was really funny. Ross and the Barbie doll, which is a plot line that, like, those things are fun. Because now you're like, I feel like we're more than ever at a point in society where some people are definitely still going to be like Ross. But then a lot of other people are just going to be like, whatever, it's a toy. There are no rules. Who cares? So, you know, that was neat.

Starting point is 00:08:16 And then, yeah, Frank, definitely an odd character, Giovanni Revisi. He's good at playing that on. guy the entertainment center I thought was a really fun bit and the list you know I'm sure I'm sure that already existed as a concept but I have to imagine that everybody in culture was making their lists if they saw this episode and the whole having Isabella Rosalini show up like I it makes me wonder how and why just from like an amusement standpoint you know she became the one to you know come in and be the you know come in and have fun with it you know because she seemed to be very much having fun with it and you know they could have chosen a lot of actresses who were you know

Starting point is 00:08:55 notable at the time and i don't i'm just curious to know if anybody in there has some trivia about how that ultimately came together or if they were just like yeah we want isabella rosalini and she said yes um and then yeah like interesting to end this off on the flashback one too and seeing these like brushes with potential other relationship scenarios and seeing everybody just shy of the beginning of the first season was like a really fun way to cap this stretch off, I thought. And it was neat to see them, yeah, step back into some older styles, see Mr. Heckles again,

Starting point is 00:09:27 you know, see them both at these very significant times in their lives, but also as they're sort of meeting each other. And, yeah, this is a really flavorful block of episodes, most certainly. And now I feel like, you know, we are certainly cruising into the freaking stride, I would imagine, of the show for a lot of people. But, yeah, we've got some questions here to dive into.

Starting point is 00:09:47 Questions? Let's do some of that. Let's chat. you guys for chiming in, as always. Karam Javid. No. There we go. Hi, guys.

Starting point is 00:09:58 Thanks for doing friends and really hope you finish it. That is our goal. Yes. Stick with it. I have a sort of friends-related question. I'll be moving to Australia to start med school. That's a big move and am a bit worried. It's going to be hard and challenging to find my group of friends at 28.

Starting point is 00:10:14 Any tips or advice on finding your people at a later age? Yeah, dude. say go to the places in which you find yourself drawn to as far as like interest or hobbies go. You know, I'm someone who myself, granted, may not be your thing, but who found poetry and community in his later 20s and was able to harbor friendships because there's that common bond of, you know, we're all here over this thing and likely you have similar views and opinions and just those different sort of community things you can find. Or hell, even like D&D, you know, you have your D&D group friends.

Starting point is 00:10:56 I think once you find groups that are typically either surrounding by a certain commonality or a certain hobby or maybe even just some other common activity you guys can sort of find kinship over, I feel like it becomes easier. And then, you know, the beautiful thing can happen sometimes where you bond over that thing and then some friendships, you know, you don't even have to have that thing involved to be friends anymore. You just are friends, regular friends, not title friend, not like poetry friend or magic friend, just friends. So, yeah, I think that's an easy or, you know, a way to simplify that process of finding new friends and community. Yeah, I mean, that's a huge, you know, that sounds like.

Starting point is 00:11:45 like I don't know exactly where you're moving from, but, you know, moving to Australia, you know, for a big undertaking like that is a new walk of life, most certainly. And yeah, I mean, I think partly you'll have the benefit, I imagine, of being in school with other, you know, people pursuing similar interests as you or similar vocations as you. So that's at least a good place to start ice breaking, obviously. Yeah, Med France. Yeah, exactly. And I know that med school is highly challenging and having a social life is really hard and there's a lot of work. to do um but yeah i think you're absolutely right you know for me it's often about finding either yes seeking out places that yeah relate to your interests or your hobbies or you know just yeah where like-minded people might consort um but also finding places that you feel comfortable just being in and you know having sort of an open inviting energy at if that makes any kind of sense like you know if you sometimes you know what i use what i have i have met made friends made friends and met people in the past just by kind of like I would be at a coffee shop working or writing or, you know,

Starting point is 00:12:51 just kind of have my Bluetooth receiver on spiritually speaking. And, you know, hey, you might find in that kind of relaxed space where you are free to be sort of in a calm environment that, yeah, you might not feel weird about striking up a conversation or, you know, hey, I like, that guy's got a cool t-shirt on or something. I'll pay that compliment. And maybe that can turn into something. Yeah, I mean, like, it all depends. depends on your level of openness and your level of comfort with other people. And there is some level of awkward sort of. You just got to be willing to strike up a combo and see how it goes. But yeah, I think you're absolutely right. It's like, you know, seek out the stuff in the area that involves the things you like to do. Seek out any social type environments that, you know, align with how you like to unwind and get relaxed. And, yeah, just kind of walk in, I guess, with that idea that, like, you know, you might make a friend.

Starting point is 00:13:45 might meet somebody you might not and that's cool too and i usually have the best results kind of from that place but but yeah we're starting a youtube channel invite people to your house put an ad on craigslist and just say i'm new in town and i need some friends what do you got i'm new in town and uh you know just hope you don't get cereal killed and otherwise you're fine yeah uh yeah yeah i feel like uh rooting for you i hope you you know are able to find prosperous results in med school and community and friendship as well. Yeah, just tell everybody you meet that this is a no-life, and then they'll be like, oh, he knows our culture and our custom.

Starting point is 00:14:23 You're in the outback now, buddy. But yeah, I really hope it goes well out there, Karam, and let us know. Keep us updated on your journey. Find some good kangaroo roommates. Absolutely. Go on a walkabout. That's what you do. You go on a walk about.

Starting point is 00:14:36 You embrace the elements. You find yourself, and then when you come back, you will assemble with your people like some kind of ancient prophet. give pedestrians cookies give pedestrians cookies start of conversation all right Nikki Sunrisa thank you for chiming in sup Aaron and John happy

Starting point is 00:14:56 Friends Day. Happy Friends Day to you as well the one where no one is ready is my absolute favorite episode of Friends I'd love to hear you speak on the dynamics of this bottle episode and also would you drink the fat it depends I mean if it was important enough I certainly would be in that position where I'm like I would hate this but I got do it. And, you know, I don't know how I would get through it, but I would try. Yeah, no, it would be a tough

Starting point is 00:15:21 one. There has to be specific circumstances for me to drink the fat. What is on the line here? I don't know if I would be in Ross's position because I feel like I have a hyper awareness of how I come across and not wanting to be scary. I can be frustrated, but I'm not going to yell at somebody if I'm not getting the thing that I'm after. But as far as the, the dynamics go, I thought it was a really well-crafted episode and the fact that they were able to get everybody

Starting point is 00:15:50 in this episode, have their own arcs over the course of these 22 minutes, but no one's ever all on screen at the same time. People are walking into the living room and out of the living room and coming back with their little subplot and then the stuff with Joey

Starting point is 00:16:08 and Chandler and Monica trying to contact Richard and then Ross and Rachel whole thing and how Ross's thing is the thing that's on the line, the stakes here, so to speak. So I feel like it was the episode that felt the most

Starting point is 00:16:26 like a play in that way. Yeah, 100%. And I think that they were able to do it in a way where it didn't feel rush or an authentic and also true to everybody's characters. Even if some of the stuff was a little ridiculous, like the stuff with the clothes

Starting point is 00:16:42 and the seat. But I still felt like within the dynamics some of these characters have it felt authentic and true to them even if it wasn't a heightened sense but yeah very very fun one of my favorites too I'd have to say yeah coming I know that

Starting point is 00:16:58 with having experience herding chickens and being a chicken to be herded yeah that episode definitely got me it permeated my being because you know oftentimes I am not a raw

Starting point is 00:17:14 in that situation. I have been a Ross in that situation. And it is uniquely stressful to behold in this context because I get to watch them both happening simultaneously. So I'm sitting there going, okay, I can see through this something I'll think about the next time I am, you know, sort of on a time crunch and need to be, you know, focused and am not being focused. So yeah, it is. definitely touched me that way. But yeah, I thought it was a really well-written and performed and directed episode because, like you said, it does feel like I'm sure there's a movie magic and editing and retakes that happened. But like this felt like one big long run-through of the episode in front of the audience and it didn't feel like we were ever breaking from it because of how they put it all together. So, yeah, it really nicely captured the bridge.

Starting point is 00:18:14 between a live play performance and the fact that you're watching a TV show with multiple angles and you know there's that you know a lot of the time even though you have the laugh track and you have the audience presence known it still feels like you're watching a narrative show and not so much a play whereas yeah this was like right in between and it was really fun because yeah someone would leave the room and it would still feel alive that they were outside the room you know waiting to come back in or doing whatever they're doing off screen and yeah like the timing between them all and the things they gave everybody to be concerned with. It made for like a really, again, really stressful episode. Like it was funny and it was fun, but also like definitely took something out of me to watch because, yeah, it makes sense given when we know about the characters, the fun of it. Yeah, Joey and Chandler arguing like children and one up each other like children makes total sense. Rachel being the one who is like, yeah, yeah, no, I'm totally on top of it.

Starting point is 00:19:12 and yet, you know, taking all of her time to sort of be like, ah, but this, but that, you know, and then Monica being completely preoccupied with something else and dealing with Richard and not being able to, yeah, like that obsession. Like, I've, it was interesting because, you know, I've been in each of those different sets of shoes at a certain point. And so, yeah, this is a really well-observed episode, I would say, because it felt like all of those scenarios,

Starting point is 00:19:38 but just concentrated into one. and yeah it was very affecting and yeah i thought they orchestrated the chaos really nicely because i was laughing and i was cringing and i was recoiling and i was like stressed out and it's it's interesting because you're supposed to be you know it's it's like if there was a it's the it's the uncut gems of friends episodes so yeah i thought uh i thought that was really really well done and i can absolutely see why it'd be your favorite it is a standout episode for sure. And it exemplifies, I feel like, a lot of the magic and the, you know, the best of each department and the collective efforts therein, you know. So, uh, hell yeah, to that. And like I said

Starting point is 00:20:21 before, yeah, from a writing structural standpoint, it's neat to be like, oh, okay, in a different episode with a different setup, these stories might be taking place in other rooms or in different spots. And they found a really nice way to have both a bunch of different isolated things running alongside a shared scenario and yeah it was really well handled really well done Brandy Davis

Starting point is 00:20:44 thanks for chiving in hey friends so excited to be watching this with you and I'm excited that you're joining us any early predictions for the last season oh let's see

Starting point is 00:20:59 Janice and Richard get married yep Phoebe ends up with Ivani Rabisi because, you know, they're only half siblings and maybe there's a twist where she finds out that her dad's not even his real dad. So then they get together because that would be weird. And then Gunther, he gets a spinoff. I mean, he gets his own coffee shop. That's not necessary for the last season. Yeah, Gunther gets his own coffee shop. Like his Gunther getting his own coffee shop. He creates Starbucks in the last season.

Starting point is 00:21:36 Yep, yeah, for sure. I don't know. I have a feeling, because the thing is, I've heard, for instance, one of those shows that, even if you haven't seen the show, you have a semblance of some cultural osmosis because of, like, I think this is one of the few shows

Starting point is 00:21:57 in which I hadn't seen, yet I know the names of all six of the characters and the actors who play them. So, with that, you hear about certain you know dynamics through again through just being someone who's alive when the show is alive and hearing people who watch the show talk about it granted not everything but i that said i when we first started the show i didn't think that ben was i don't know i

Starting point is 00:22:30 thought the baby wasn't going to be born or like something would happen so i think one of my predictions is that Carol and Susan are going to, like, move away with Ben or something. They're going to, like, move to a different city, a different state. Okay. Yeah. See that happen? I can't. Because I can't imagine just, like,

Starting point is 00:22:49 some little 10-year-old running around that Ross is hanging out with. Maybe that does happen. I could be very wrong. Could? I mean... Maybe racial... Maybe Monaco finally have that baby. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. I feel like

Starting point is 00:23:04 There's got to be a lot of ships. I don't know if everyone's going to wind up with somebody, I guess because of the Joey show, I assume that Joey will wind up single, and by proxy, despite my previous prediction, Phoebe, I think, will end up either single or with somebody not in the friends.

Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah. I think I would have to imagine that the show would end on a note where Ross and Rachel can happily ever after, potentially, even if it's not like, I don't know what dramatic device they would use. but like you know i i feel like they got to make it somehow that leaves room for a potential chanler monica situation uh i don't know if that would factor to the very end of the show or not

Starting point is 00:23:45 i expect monica to maybe be in some kind of more high power i know like right now it's season three and she's still looking for like a good job so i figure like it by the end of the show maybe she'll be like a successful head chef someplace i hope monica can start her own restaurant by the having her own restaurant would be sick i hope rachel is not still working at central perk by the time this show is over yes i think rachel got a yeah get some uh real yeah next level you know career growth um freaking gunter yeah we got gunther he's going to start a starbucks and uh mr heckles comes back from the dead yeah with um with marcell with marcell there you go and then live together upstairs yeah and then we get to hang out with them sometimes and uh adam goldberg comes

Starting point is 00:24:34 well no Marcel didn't die he's a tv star now yeah he's out there he's still hanging Marcel's going to come back in season yeah and so is adam goldberg yeah he's going to become one of the ensemble in the last season yeah he's going to be the seventh friend and uh at some point during season eight or whatever uh Phoebe is actually going to die and they're going to swap in ursula so yep it'll be none the wiser I think that's what it's going to happen. And eventually we'll get a Halloween episode. Tara, thank you for chiming in. Or is it Tara?

Starting point is 00:25:04 We had a conversation about this. Do you like when they changed the clips during the opening? I love trying to see if I can tell which episode each clip is from. Yeah, in fact, in these couple, I had a higher rate of like, oh, that episode, in that episode?

Starting point is 00:25:19 And yeah, it does tease your brain a little bit because the first handful of episodes, I think we were both sitting there going, they're changing these each time. time, right? Because there's enough of the same stuff, and then there's, and it's all montaging by so quickly, and some stuff now you have from before. And they're not

Starting point is 00:25:34 even changing the clips of the episode, they're changing like the water fountain stuff, because I don't think Rostas' little jig in every single one, yeah. Yeah, well, and two, I love stuff like that. We, Andrew and I watching Dexter, that has an iconic opening title sequence as

Starting point is 00:25:50 well, and one, I think there's a, there are a couple episodes that do this, and I think the, the most prominent ones like in season two or something where like you can tell what they must have done is taken a bunch of the additional B-roll and used it because there's one episode where

Starting point is 00:26:05 yeah, Dexter's I don't know, there's one where they use it in a way where it's like he's feeling himself and you see like him going about his morning and they're using again clearly the same scenarios and ideas or a couple of extra ones but they're all shot in that style and you're like oh this is it from the

Starting point is 00:26:22 opening title shoot and then there's another episode where he's starting his day and things are not going right, and they, like, riff on that. But, yeah, getting the different foot in the stuff, I think it's really fun. It's just a little... Those are things that of you were like me.

Starting point is 00:26:35 It's like, ooh, neat. It's a little different in little tiny ways that someone's going to notice, you know, that aren't, like, the most significant parts, but there are things that someone will notice, and I think those are fun. Yeah, and watching it back to back like this makes it more recognized,

Starting point is 00:26:47 although when things are different. So, yeah, it definitely adds to that fun that each episode is changing in a little ways. Hondo Percente. Janice Janice B-C-P-H-T Hey The one where no-one's ready

Starting point is 00:27:05 is easily one of my favorite quotable episodes Regarding Frank Jr. Did y'all recall when Phoebe first met him? If not, it was in episode two. We were talking about this last block. It was in the episode two,

Starting point is 00:27:16 it was in the episode in season two where Joey and Chandler left Ben on the bus. It's funny because as of recording this, I was just scrubbing those episodes for thumbnail images. But while Phoebe was a street performance, he came back for the condom he threw in her guitar case. Yes, in fact.

Starting point is 00:27:30 And yeah, when he showed back up, we had that whole moment of like, wait a minute, is he the same guy? Is he a different guy? What's going on here? Is this just like Doctor Who, where you get cast as like an incidental character? And then they're like, hey, you're pretty great, or your stars on the rise, we'll give you a role. Yeah. It definitely was one of those scenarios.

Starting point is 00:27:46 But yeah, so I think in your head canning because he's never named in that episode, he could be the same guy. It could have been like them soft launching her brother without really knowing about it. Yeah, and I mean, that's just seems like the kind of thing that character would do. Yeah. It seemed like more innocuous at the time.

Starting point is 00:28:03 And obviously, like a throw-away, you know, like a one-off joke. But at the same time, I'm like, Ben's a, not Ben, Frank is a weird guy. Very weird guy. And they didn't know each other at the time or that their siblings. So, hey, you never know. I mean, he could have done that. Oh, my God. He visited the city and threw a condom in there.

Starting point is 00:28:20 What a strange character. And what a strange set of developments with the whole massage parlor. Oh boy Jay Rushden Friends, Aaron and John Question Who is your favorite side character

Starting point is 00:28:35 You get both Janice and Ursula there Like voicemail Was Tom Selleck cameo That's right We at least got the cameo And I'm pleased about that Yeah

Starting point is 00:28:47 Who's your favorite side character though Of season two It would have to be The roommate Was the roommate's name again oh Chandler's roommate yeah has Adam Goldberg he was a trip Eddie Eddie Eddie Eddie was a

Starting point is 00:29:01 wild Eddie was scary to be around like an enigma but I would I could not stop watching that dude yeah I was fascinating I was gonna say I mean up until now up until this block it was Henry Tom Selleck you know because he's just so much he's got so much suave compelling energy like he's just so fun to watch you know he's a really

Starting point is 00:29:24 charming. Charming reliable strong man. Yeah. I mean Janice and Ursula, you know, Janice is really fun and I it's been a roller coaster with that character because at first, like I know that she is a recurring trope of the show. But I didn't actually expect to be

Starting point is 00:29:40 here where it's like, oh, after the first two seasons worth of being like, oh, it's an on again, off again joke. Now all of a sudden they're in a position where they are actually together and Chandler's about this and it's interesting. The Ursula thing is very amusing. Yeah. We haven't really spent time with us. I don't really know who she is.

Starting point is 00:29:55 It just makes men like Google over her, goggle over her. Yeah. Crazy and sad. Glad for Gunther to be a character. Mr. Hekels cracks me up

Starting point is 00:30:06 and I'm glad we got to see him again because I really enjoyed him when he was a recurring side character. Sadly kill them off. And I do appreciate, I keep forgetting what her name is, Carol's wife, especially Susan.

Starting point is 00:30:18 Like, her energy is so much fun and the odds she is at with Ross, I think make for a very fun games. Yeah, it's fun dynamic. And, too, I guess I'll shout out Ross and Rachel's dad. I think he's Elliot Gould, especially.

Starting point is 00:30:32 Whenever he shows up, is really sweet, really lovely, really great fatherly energy. And when he comes over to console Monica and she falls right asleep, I was like, a lovely move. Also, I've gone through into all his ties. He always has fun fits on.

Starting point is 00:30:45 He's drippy. And he's got lines now. It's been a minute. He didn't talk much in this block, but he's out here. He's a character now. He used to be there. I hope of the You know it's another prediction answering a previous question. I hope that at some point in the show, towards the end of the season, he calls each of them out on their bullshit. Yeah, that would be.

Starting point is 00:31:03 The final episode is just a 30-minute rant of Gunther, just undressing everyone of the friends. Everyone gets 22 minutes, 24 minutes, let's say, divide by six. Everybody gets four minutes. It's in a block of a shoot. Yeah. Oh, no, you said four minutes. Okay.

Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah. Yeah, right? Six friends. I thought you're saying that he gets an episode per guest. Oh, that would be crazy. It's a six episode season of just every episode, 25 minute rant. That would be insane. All right.

Starting point is 00:31:40 Here we go. Tara. Question two. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Who are the five people? Yeah. Who are the five people who would be on your quote, hall pass list?

Starting point is 00:31:51 Golly, I'm not prepared. I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Not prepared. Okay. One, two. Ooh. I'm going to come up with this. I think.

Starting point is 00:32:10 I think I'm going to fly. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And they are, Miss. Alexia Cara. The girl from Genentee. who plays the main character.

Starting point is 00:32:26 Dude, I had like a couple more. It's lost in the ether. I know. I know it's a tough one. Because it's going to come up on the fly. It's a toughie. Not to look at shows that I watch. I know that Christina Hendricks would be on the list.

Starting point is 00:32:43 I know Pam Greer would be on the list if we're allowed to kind of, you know, if timing doesn't matter so much. Not that Pam Greer isn't still Foxy Brown. She's right, Foxy. Let's see. It's weird, yeah. I'm like, I should know this.

Starting point is 00:33:06 I shouldn't be so on the spot about this. I like that you're looking at the AMC app. Yeah. I'm like, I guess I would narrow it down in a slightly different way. Her Hallie Steinfield can be She'd be four Okay Um

Starting point is 00:33:23 Jessica Rabbit That's not a person Yes it is Okay I'll allow it Yes she is Uh huh Uh huh uh huh

Starting point is 00:33:37 Uh huh Uh huh Um She just keeps Roting the same movies What is this I think we each have to put Isabella Rossellini just, you know, out of sheer solidarity's sake. Oh, you're looking at, you're cheating.

Starting point is 00:33:55 You're looking at hot actors. I'm just looking at a list of actresses. Looking at all the actresses. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you spark, you know, there's a lot of names out there in life. Watch this videos, I'm going to end. I'm going to be mad because I'm going to think of a fifth one, and I'm, you're like, damn it, why didn't I see it?

Starting point is 00:34:13 Why didn't I laminate it beforehand? Shame. Maybe Rosario Dawson, for sure. Maybe for sure. Okay. I can see it. Who makes me swoon? Who makes me swoon?

Starting point is 00:34:29 Man. What famous people make me swoon? It's a tricky one. I feel like I am definitely forgetting somebody. Yeah. This is so hard. It's a vulnerable question. Stop, dude.

Starting point is 00:34:40 It's scary. Scary. Oh, God. Oh, man. Oh, Lordy. Janice. Damn it, Janice. Got to be Janice.

Starting point is 00:34:49 I love you. I love you. Baby, I love you. No. I don't know. Ah. I'm, I'm, um, underneath the hot lights.

Starting point is 00:35:07 I'm perplexed. This is a real time. This is a real time answer. He's, he's looking. He's, we're, We're in... Let me know when you want me to... We're in the 170s now.

Starting point is 00:35:17 This is just a list of all actresses. All the actresses. Every actresses. Are you also finding people for yourself? You know, if I've lost count now, so, you know, if anybody comes up who I'm like, contender, I'll let you know. Nothing is coming up for me. Stick my life on the line for these five. No.

Starting point is 00:35:41 all beautiful women just not my tea wow yeah well same flavors dog then you only get three or four all right we're gonna go for john's fit

Starting point is 00:35:58 oh okay I got a fit who we got um Lily James she'll be my fit Lily James not bad Baby driver fame Baby driver fame and other things

Starting point is 00:36:10 other things like driving just normally films. Anyway, leave us your five. Oh, another trivia from Tara. Hey, John and Aaron, hey to you. The one where no one's ready is a classic episode and is usually listed in the top 10

Starting point is 00:36:30 of all Friends episodes, I believe that for sure. Fun fact. They had done a few takes when Joey and Chandler race and jump for the chair and the show creators wanted them to do it one more time. and Matt LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder on the last take, which is why he's wearing a sling in the next episodes, and they explained it with him jumping on his bed and then falling

Starting point is 00:36:52 because that was a bottle episode with everyone in the apartment. They had to wait until Matt's shoulder was better to finish that episode. Oh, wow. That is insane, because, yeah, I never would have guessed that it wasn't all the same. And you know, it's funny? Pretty much taping, yeah. And the crazy part is, oh, no, because I think, yeah, know that's very specific to that time because i'd have to specifically be a season three episode

Starting point is 00:37:16 because i'm like yeah ross and rich are already together but then her monica going through the whole thing with richard so i guess in theory could that could have been like episode two was that like three or four right that episode i think that was the second episode i'm not mistaken yeah one more okay i'm like yeah i guess you could make the season premiere but no i It fits. It fits where it is. I think, yeah.

Starting point is 00:37:44 I feel like starting off with that bottle, I think you need something a little bit more just, like, sort of fun because it is still a fun episode, but it's, like, uniquely stressful. So I feel like you do a bit of a curve ball after at least you've set up the first part of the season or something like that. Or at least once you've started in, like, classic friends mode, then we start throwing in curve balls. Yeah. I guess. But that's wild. And, yeah, the fact that not only, like, it's fun that they embraced it and used it, but also that they must have had to wait.

Starting point is 00:38:17 Because I wonder how much they film at a time before they start releasing the season. That was it, too. I was like, I guess it wouldn't, it wouldn't necessarily have to be one week at a time. You know, I'm sure they could shoot more than that if they wanted to if the scripts are ready and the sets are ready. Because also, that could have theoretically been, like, episode like any one of these six. Could have kind of been anything, yeah. Yeah. for him in the next couple episodes to have

Starting point is 00:38:41 the sling on is interesting, and I guess they went like, okay, well, I guess we just have to go on to whatever's next and we'll use this so that we can get some stuff done. And then, you know, usually back then you would start your season. I don't know how TV production works so much now, but I feel like you would start your season and you would shoot and you would have

Starting point is 00:38:57 a certain amount of episodes kind of either finished or in the post production process before you start airing so you have a buffer zone. So yeah, being that that was the second episode, I wonder how long they had to wait to come back and change it or finish it, and it's impressive that it doesn't look disjointed or anything like that, because, yeah,

Starting point is 00:39:16 I thought it was all one big, you know, taping with, you know, maybe a pickup here or there. But, yeah, that was really fun. And thank you for the fact, because we were wondering about that. And I remember we had the same exact moment where you said, you know, like, I wonder if you actually really did something to his arm. And I was like, I wonder. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:39:32 Just wondering at the same time. I'm like, oh, hey, there's some continuity here. And I must say, Joey jumping on the bed. Very funny. explanation yeah it's a very joey thing to do and they were like really smart yes and on the writers part to be like okay what's the cold open uh you think joey's in there getting oh no no he's they're children and uh yeah he and chanler especially being children is just so much fun but yeah this is a bit of joy and uh these were you know i feel like the show is definitely on its stride and

Starting point is 00:40:02 everyone's really got their characters down and uh yeah there's even though yeah some episodes are more standout or iconic than others is just super duper fun. 100%. Hey, well, leave us your thoughts, gang. Leave us your fives. And we'll catch you for the next block of friends episodes. Maybe we'll have ours solidified and properly mapped out by then. Either way, you guys are all on the five.

Starting point is 00:40:25 And we love you very much. We'll see you next time. Be well, people.
