This week's video is sponsored by Acorns, the money app that makes it simple and cheap to make small yet significant investments. It's a good old time. It's a grand old time. But you know it's even a grander time? What? Hanging out with your friend. Hell yeah. Let's get it going. Let's do it. How far we've been, though. Season three. Season freaking three. freaking did it gang it was the one with the tiny t-shirt episode here we go all right well we filled in all the blanks and uh god i was so engrossed and you know that feeling you get when you're so engrossed in an episode and then it ends and you're like oh what what what do you

mean yeah it was yeah that episode flew by 22 minutes 22 minutes that's enough time for CNN to give you the world and it's way more than enough time for you guys to hit the like button on this video ding to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you can be notified when the next time a friend's video comes out is you can ring that bell hey i like it i love it's right baby and uh big thanks to prepper for chopping these together getting them visible on the youtube avoiding the copyright ninjas and uh also also also if you happen to be listening to this as an audio podcast review leave us a little bit of a rating if you could on your podcast platform of choice i'll run how are you feeling now that we've wrapped up season three with our friends

feeling good feeling well feeling swell oh what the hell what the hell oh yeah the bell this is ringing the bell this is a great season of tv tv but you know it's funny uh they were together at the beginning of the season they broke up had a whole bunch of shenanigans happens and i were teasing them getting back together and it makes me realize or not realize but puts into perspective like oh yeah this is a show that came out weekly So it doesn't feel like they've been broken up that long for us. But for people, it's been weeks since that breakup happened. I was about to say, in real time, we would have, like, a six-month gap to look forward to now as they go on hiatus. Yeah. Everyone takes a little bit of a break, like the old-school way of TV production. You know, you air the final episode. Probably before that, a lot of production has gone on break, but some people are still working on that final episode.

And then, yeah, you take a number of months off. And then pre-production begins back up. People start writing scripts, and they bank a few episodes. you get three or four or five in the can and then they start airing and then you're kind shooting as things are airing and yeah yeah and so they keep it going oh look at that i think it chris brown directed an episode of this season hey hey slap slap slap slap oh yeah he's had a long career sorry that was a guy that's a bit of gallows humor for chris brown i'm sorry i take it back yes no no i wasn't offended um he's good but yeah he's gone he's come a long way

but yeah i uh i thoroughly enjoyed this season um you know not some healthy things are happening in this finale you know he's he's holding with another girl on this trip but they have this this chemistry this undeniable bond between ross and rachel yeah that needs to be satiated and i imagine that it will be done come season four when we get to that episode just gotta be what you said it's just got to be we got it's part of the saga We got freaking seven more seasons to watch, you guys. So it has to come to a head at some point. Also, we're getting some teasers of potentially, you know, Chandler and Monica.

That's different. That's new from what we've seen thus far. That is true. I'm curious to see where that goes. Actually going to make that deal. That seemed like it was going to become a legit plot thread. And they did check in on it a couple times. But it wasn't like one of the more focal.

That seemed like something now knowing that this is a two-parter that they were setting up to then complete in the next episode because some stuff obviously like completes a little bit here we find out all that damn is Phoebe's actual mom which is a weird thing to discover wait we need to figure out that that was the same actress

I'm gonna start if that actress is actually her mom because she looked a lot like her okay okay I was like that chick looks like Phoebe and she has like some of her mannerism so if they're not related then that's pretty crazy but if she is I think a lot of sense so okay the one at the beach

I'm just going to look up the title of this. The one that's a bitch. The one that's the bitch. All right. Here we go. The one at the beach, Friends, episode TV. Also, I'm asking how you're feeling. I am feeling friendly.

I'm feeling good. This was a delightful batch of episodes. I mean, you know, I feel like we're at the point in the show now where... They're not related. You know, they're... What? Oh, doi. Terry Gar.

Terry Gar is, yeah, is a famous actor. And a rest in peace. Oh, damn. She just passed. Yeah, she's in tons and tons and tons stuff. Definitely an actor, yeah, who's like face I have seen in a lot of things. Young Frankenstein, Tootsie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which I have not seen. Mr. Mom, which I think is an Andrew movie, if I'm not mistaken.

We'd love to watch it. Yeah, oh, she plays Mary McGinnis in Batman Beyond as well, the voice of. Probably his mama. Yeah, no, prolific actress, for sure. And, yeah, definitely, like, a huge guest star. get i i guess i believe it now kind of realizing not clocking in the moment that it was terry gar but knowing that it's her and and the stature that she holds i'm like oh damn yeah this must be true great casting yeah she does definitely look like she could actually be lisa kudrow's relation

uh but yeah this was i'm feeling good man this this it's you know the show itself feels like it's at you know definitely like a cruising altitude you can just feel the sizz you can feel the chemistry and the rhythm and the you know the sort of you know we're not privy to like the audience conversation and the water cooler talk here and now but like i don't know even just watching these i'm like oh i can imagine people in the 90s like gathering around the tv and this being a huge thing and just yeah the the chemistry and the fun of it all is so you know effortlessly enjoyable but also it kind of crackles you know when it's really on and even the episodes that you know are not quite as unique or standout or still really like i've yet to meet an episode yet where i've been like i don't

ever want to watch that episode again these are all very fun and uh and yeah i mean the amount of things too again binging these at like six episodes at a time it feels like he went through tons of stuff because yeah we had the whole thing with dina mire and joey the saga of joey in the acting class and the weird director guy and i like i like you know i'm curious as to how this will progress into you know later seasons because right now again things are continuing to feel very serial and very ongoing and less episodic even though there are a lot of random

hijinks that interspers stuff but I love that stuff goes kind of for a few episodes at a time like all that stuff with Pete and you know Monica going back and forth like I don't I don't know if I love this guy or if I'm like he got the spark for him but you know he's like perfect in every other way and then you know

him buying the restaurant and the back and forth with Phoebe about like oh is he lying about having met somebody and then you know them actually getting together and then him wanted to do ultimate fighting this is like so much happens yeah a lot of happens and also you know ross and rachel were together at the beginning of the season and they had the whole fight because he was jealous about the mark guy yeah and the fallout of that and those awkward episodes between the two of them and a lot of stuff happened in this this uh 25 episode block yeah seriously and

we got an extra episode an extra episode and put a little cherry on top oh yeah goodness we got the crazy dollhouse thing we got yeah we got this Ross that was very sweet too like the Ross and Rachel stuff because I know that that's like a saga of the show is

has been handled I like in the long run that like there's some stuff where I'm like oh I definitely agree more with one side or the other there are other things where I'm like I kind of get both of where they're coming from and the sort of weird thing of like I'm mad at you I don't want to be with you right now but I still have these

feelings and as time goes by and experiences happen and we try other things maybe we'll come back to each other and I think the way they've done that here is really nice that whole thing where Rachel's like where Ross skips the Discovery Channel TV opportunity to take Rachel to the hospital when

she's like got the broken rib or whatever it was like that you know it's like a very sweet development and an example of as out of pocket as Ross has been in a lot of respects along the journey in this stretch season three of their relationship

you know that was like a very fun and kind of lovely moment because yeah you can kind of feel the sacrifice that that would be and the fact that he doesn't even want to make a big deal out of it is kind of nice and yeah her expressing in this last episode this sort of feeling like yeah i'm mad at you that doesn't mean i don't love you and you know i have been trying obviously to like she went on a date with mark you know and uh and even that you know at first you're like oh no and then you see what happens and yeah it's short-lived and it's not the right thing and it's not the solution and i like yeah the kind of nuance of the relationshipy aspects of the show because yeah stuff for as much as friends is like a ubiquitous thing and and you know comments on so many tropes of dating and and romance and coming of age as a young person in the city and blah blah blah like it doesn't feel as cliche as you might expect out of a sitcom you know going back to the 90s or something like that and uh yeah it's to the writing but also to the cast i would say it's just a fun a bunch of fun guest stars i mean i like that that thing with billy crystal and robin williams still blows my mind yeah wild out nowhere like bonkers

business and uh christine taylor a very fun edition uh the the jason you know the little swamp boy jason bald cap she's got on his little crazy but uh yeah also ben stiller in his episode was a lot of fun. That stiller was really funny and very bonkers. Kevin McDonald was a fun sort of person to see, uh, pop up here. Phoebe and the two guys, what I think was a very funny, uh, plot thread to when she's dating those two dudes. And they seem like each one has this one quality. And then they both have both of the qualities. And they're kind of the same guy. And she doesn't really end up with either of them. It's very, very funny. The chick and the duck like Joey just like on TV, completely missing the point and like ordering a chick. Yeah.

so funny and we had them for like a solid block of episodes and you know chanler had his goatee and got real slim and then you the one episode that he has it back no goatee yeah no no bird no no duck and i'm like okay oh dude chanel i feel like i i'm used to people's hair and everything changing every season but this season they've done a few on us you know yeah chandler definitely has gone through a few looks plus you know when richard that's come to come out no mustache but yeah he had a little mustache for a little while like that was crazy bro freaking crazy bro wild but yeah this is a joy to go through these and i love ending on a two-parter we've had some pretty epic two-parters yeah um and uh and yeah shouts out to freaking terry gar i'm sorry that i didn't clock you by name because uh i'm a heathen

like that's okay i'm sure she forgives you she's watching from beyond she does rest and peace and thank you for all of your lovely work uh yeah let's get into some patron questions let's do it let's do this thingy uh all right what do we got from the trons nicky sonorisa thank you for chiming in today hey john and erin happy friends day happy friends day nicky yeah this is one of my favorite blocks of episodes on friends i have so many questions but i'll stick to this one fun one Whose dollhouse? Would you rather play with Phoebe or Monica's?

What's your favorite element of Phoebe dollhouse? Mine is the ghost in the attic. Mine too, actually, I was going to say. Because every attic needs a ghost. It does. Let me see if I can pull that up really quick. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the tricky part is, like,

I would want to visit Monica's dollhouse because, like, it is beautiful and pristine. But the problem is, like, yeah, I would be perfectly at the center of the two of their sensibilities in that part of me, would be like, you know, I want to preserve the beauty of the main dollhouse, obviously. Yeah, it's so pristine and, like, put together. I don't want to, like, break anything.

I don't want to break anything, but I do want to apply a sense of imagination. You know what I mean? Yeah. I do want to, you know, I want a ghost in the nice dollhouse attic, too. Yeah, you know what? It feels like I would love, first of all, yes, I want to ghost in both of them. very different types of ghosts but ghosts nonetheless and i would want to play with monocos but i feel like i'd have like a sense of imagination i was more more practical you know maybe more grounded you know have like a pristine sort of family a thing going on there yeah maybe some some drama some history between the residents of the house whereas febe's house it's just a fun house we just we're just doing whatever you know parties happening in one room you know art circles happen in another

room. I feel like to my personal sensibilities, I would prefer to go to Phoebe's house. Yeah. And she got the, she got the freaking, um, the buggler with the, the, she got the, tool of paper roll. Yeah. And the, uh, the bubbles come out of it. Yeah, that's right. And I mean, too, I don't love a licorice, but I love that there is a slide instead of stairs. It's great. And, and like a room that you can also eat with a titsy roll roll, roll away bed is like pretty amazing. Yeah. Monica got a doll house. Uh, Phoebe got a fun house. exactly there's an aroma room like that's the thing is like Phoebe's has

so many rooms it's hard to choose and I like the china cabinet I mean Madicos? No Phoebe's has like so many rooms to choose from four rooms I know it's like you know three major rooms plus an attic I forget what this downstairs one was

but yeah like you know there's spooky ghost and I love this got like the little lift the roof and the front falls open revealing the tableau yellow cow down there plus we love creativity she built that herself out of shoeboxes tool paper rolls and whatever she could find plus the string lights the bubble chimney like it's it's an embarrassment of riches and it's hard to choose it's so charming but yeah the spooky ghost in the attic is definitely my favorite aspect for foreshow hope whose room do you think ross went into in the finale thank you for chiming in hope and that is the question isn't it i ask because my mom watched it when it aired it had to wait four months for the next season to get the answer Hoof. Heart hands. Yes.

Ooh. God. I feel like he went into Rachel's room. But I don't know, because I'm like, they got to keep the drama momentum going through the season. So we're going to have that comid thing at the beginning. It might feel like it'd be too easy. No, I'm changing it. He went to the other girls' room.

I'm really debating this heavily. Yeah, same. Yeah. Because I feel like it's too easy for us to start the season with them already together again. But the way that they was kissing at the end, they still love each other. So, like, what are we going to do about that? You know, clearly, Ross is completely repulsed by this girl now that she's shaved her head, which is why she's still an attractive girl.

Yeah, dude. Well, and yeah, like, give it, even if the shine flips you, like, give it a few days and she'll have, like, the buzz. Yeah. That's great, too. Like, she got that, like, the 90s shenan. eight o'connor thing going on yeah like which i i guess i'm biased because like that fits within the range of things that i enjoy but like you know i yeah i think the bald cap helps that case because the bald cap adds mass and makes her look like a little alien you know so it's like if they

actually shaved her head i think the argument would be trickier actually and i think it's a nice weird little quirk of circumstance that she probably didn't want to shave her head for this because i don't think you would want to as an actor honestly I think this is the time where you would go let's do a ball cap and I think too given the height and the tone the tenor of the comedy that helps yeah because

yeah I don't know I really feel like Ross is the kind of guy who would do it for love and would go to Rachel's room because deep down just he even if he's tried to get over her I just you know you just look at him and you're like this guy still loves this woman of course

he does so part of me is like he's Got to go there. But the other part of me is like, but that's what they want me to think. Exactly. And I feel like psychologically, and I don't know if this is, this is just pseudo,

pseudo speculation on my part. I think psychologically am used to seeing Rachel's door be on the right side of the hall, given that view of the apartment corridor that we often get. So part of me wonders if he's going in to

Christine Taylor's room. But then the, way he said hey was so like tender as if it was for rachel yes i i don't know and and part of me is like well what if he goes into uh god i need to to remind myself of her name uh you know it's like what if he goes into bonnie's room just to explain the situation and then comes out and then the next episode rachel sees him coming out and then there's like a whole thing there like oh that would be what would freaking is there going to be some kind of weird misunderstanding that comes out of this. They're usually freaking is.

But like, oh my God, dude, the two-door choice is maniacal in terms of just the writers coming up with the device to really rile us up. And then four months you have to wait for that? I'm so sorry. Yeah. Waiting four days to watch the next block of episodes

is a bit agonizing. I, yeah, like in my mind, I really don't have every time I try and come to like a, no, I think he'll do this. I have my brain pivots. Like, spiritually deep down, I think he wants to go into Rachel's room regardless. Yeah.

I don't know if Ross, he just seems like even if he was going to get back with Rachel, he would try and let things down as easily as possible with Bonnie because she's ready to hear with us at a beach house for the weekends. That's what he did with the other chick. Yeah. With the Asian Jay

come on with Russ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like he'd probably do the honorable thing considering that she's staying there. Plus, you know, I think the friend group all drove there together. Bonnie drove there by herself, so you could let her down and she just kind of goes off on her way.

Yeah. What was her name, too? What was her name? Lauren Tom. He's Ben Stiller's wife, right? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Julie was her name. Yeah, no, Christine Taylor's been stiller's wife. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a humdinger, though. It's a good brain cooker for you in the midst of the season. And, yeah, I'm sorry for your. your mom, and I hope that she's laughing, you know, at our plight as we wait at least four days to shoot the next one.

Oh. I know. Fellow reject, maybe you'll identify with what I'm about to say. I've never had the healthiest relationship with money. It's not because I'm a big spender or something like that. I've just my entire life carried around this general anxiety around it, a constant fear that I'm going to lose everything. When I don't have much, I'm never going to gain anything. Because, yeah, like, I'm a family, fought about money all the freaking time.

And, you know, we lost our home to bankruptcy when I was, like, much younger. And even though I'm a grown adult now, the fear has just never evaporated.

I was on a date once or, you know, something of a date once. And this was like in high school and we were at like a Chili's or something.

And I had ordered some kind of appetizer and like very nervous and stuff. And the second it showed up, I put, you know, like a onion ring or whatever it was in my mouth. It was so fucking hot. And it was just like one of those things where you try to play cool. and then you just have to spit it back out. And it was, yeah, it was very like, oh, God. Oh, my God. I was, I was, yeah, it's a small thing.

But in the moment, it was very mortifying. And now it's like for this whole dinner, my mouth is burnt. And, you know, I just, I just horked this thing back up onto the plate. You know, it's not very unflattering for me. Oh, my God. So I guess not, wouldn't be contained into a single episode. I feel like some of these would be arcs, but you guys, if you remember, it was last year, for those of you guys who watched a live, the whole saga with the girl in the car thing, that itself is a freaking sitcom. The one with the girl in the car is an episode, and you were absolutely the star of that episode because you're in the middle just being like, guys, you don't understand.

And everyone around Jesus is like, what is happening? Maybe one day I'll go into detail about what happened there. That is that incident that was on camera is not where the day started, not where the day ended either. That was just a small portion of that crazy freaking experience. Oh, my God, yes. Yes. I'm trying to think. Yeah.

As far as like dating goes, that would be one. I one time had a, it's another whole story, but had an ex-girlfriend of mine, potentially was pregnant as a prank to try to test my character. I've had that happen to. You've had that happen too? Yeah. No way. Yeah, it wasn't a prolonged.

thing, but I have been sort of attacked with that, you know, before. What? We never talked about this? Okay. It was a long time ago, yeah. We'll have to go over this off camera. I mean, it wasn't, yeah, it was, it was, uh, it wasn't like I said, it wasn't like many days. It was more like for part

of a day. No, same. Yeah, so, so yeah. That's freaking wild. I'm trying to think when this would have been how many years ago now. But yeah, I mean, I've had some other things that are a little bit more not like heinous or anything

some things that are a little more like a little less fun happen that would still make for like oh you know someone you're here with is over there making out with somebody else like you know like that's a sitcom thing that could happen that's happened to me I'm trying to think of yeah there's anything silly

outlanders mostly stuff like that I remember when I when I was like first dating my high school girlfriend I remember that first movie we went to I was like again it was that thing where you're like you're doing the things but your nerves are all jangly so we're like I made the move to hold hands but my hand was like

so I was so filled with adrenaline and my hand was like shaky the whole time and it was like it was prolonged I remember thinking to myself like I was more in my head than anything I was like what do here because this is like not a thing you couldn't not notice you know like yeah so should I just give up the ghost

and put my hand just like cross my arms or something like that or should I just wipe off with a hero So should I keep this embrace going, you know, despite being, yeah, all jangled up. That is a pickle. Yeah. I feel that. I feel that intrinsically.

There was another time where I was seeing this girl and she wanted to take me to this beach and we went to like the secluded part of the beach. But in order to get there, we had to go through a beach cave and we had to walk and then we're like chilling on that side of the beach for a while until we realized that high tide was. coming. Yeah. And I just got out of wrist surgery. Yeah. And so I only had one good hand and we had to cross back through this jagged cave and but the water was already risen

up and I'm 6'4. So it was already to like my shoulders by the time that we were going back and it was like pulling me back and forth. Yeah, man, I thought I was going to dive. That was a definitely a crazy situation. Luckily, we both survived but yeah, that was a

wild date. Sure. It was definitely a wild dating experience. Absolutely. Wow. Golly. Yeah. That's like a survival test.

Yeah, I one's less funny, but it sure was, I mean, it's funny in retrospect. Well, that's the thing about these shows, too, though, is like they, some, I could see that being a plot point, too, because as a team building exercise, it's like some kind of situation for you guys to, like, have to figure out and, like, I don't know, you got to call upon some level of your just, you know, fortitude against the elements to even in a. situation like that just figure out like we'd got to do wade back over there you know we're trapped now sort of yeah dude i had one good arm and i was trying to walk through a spiky cave and you're in a cave yeah you see my scar you're in old school territory you're you're you know doing the primal shit i was yeah and we mean her no talk anymore but you know we'll always have that yeah yeah i'm trying to think if there's anything more but you can always just continually ask this question if anything comes to mind.

We'll think of stuff. Yeah. There's got to be some other embarrassing date scenario. But yeah, that's what we got for right now. Leave yours down in the comments below if you're brave enough. Yeah. All right. Trivia from Stephanie Horton.

Oh, wait, no, no, no. We got Jay Rushden. My beat, okay. Jay Rushden. Question. Answer. Where they get the duck and the chick and the cold open with Crystal and Williams. Most random intros.

Were those the most random interests? I would say. Yes. Yeah. I mean, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. It threw me off. That was an authenticity. That reaction that drew out of us was authentically huge because it's weird.

Like I was talking to a friend of mine recently about just friends. And they were like, oh, you know, you're going to get ready because some crazy cameos are coming your way. And I was like, I feel like they've already been pretty crazy. We got George Clooney and Noel Wiley. and then we got John Clyde Van Dam and Brooke Shields and Julia Roberts and stuff and then lo and behold the next shoot blog was like fucking Robin Williams was it Billy Crystal here

what was it was going? Never mentioned again which is even more hilarious yeah and nothing to do they didn't directly engage with our characters except for like can we sit here yeah yeah yeah um and and the chicken the duck I mean I love the weird little animal threads that wasn't like

a cold open I don't I don't think but uh you know was it wasn't a cold involved in a cold Either way, the chick and the duck, I thought was very funny. Because, you know, we've had Marcell. We've had, like, everybody has had at some point, or there have been, not everybody, it was at the points. Yeah, weird animal friends.

Yeah. And I appreciate that they're there and that they come up in Congress. It's been the men who've had the weird pets. Let's get the girls getting some weird pets, too. Yeah, let's get a ferret for Monica and, uh, and Rachel. Let's get a Phoebe Flamingo. Yeah. Let's get fish, uh, flamingo for Phoebe.

Yeah. And a rabbit for. rachel yes and a mongoose for monica there we go uh yeah i mean that cold open is going to be hard to live up to and uh and yeah i just yeah i'm team duck and and chick and uh you know i hope that we see that chick grow to a ripe old age and that the chick doesn't befall the fate that was in the commercial that joey was watching that inspired him to buy the chick despite the commercials i don't want this i don't want that either I don't like the chick to have a long.

Fulfilling life. Same with the duck. Absolutely. All right. I want to know more about that Billy Crystal Robin Williams thing because, holy crud. Trivia. Here we go.

Fun fact about this block is both Ben Stiller and his future bride. Christine Taylor played dating interest in it. And this was before they met. I was wondering that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was wondering if this, if they would have somehow crossed paths,

you know, because things shoot. I don't know. know the way you shoot shows like this back then is different than how you do stuff now so like you could wow i don't know that's something they bonded over when they first started dating you were on friends i was on friends no way have i and then i'm like did you were you both viewers did you both see each other's episodes did ben stiller see an episode and go like oh man she's cute or did she see an episode and be like oh that ben still still still Fella. Yeah. Let me see. What episode was that? It was episode 24 had Robin Williams. Why have they put them as the thumbnail? They're only in the intro.

It's just got to be because it's so freaking iconic. It's such an iconic episode. And here we go. Here we go. Some trivia on IMDB. Due to the unplanned appearance of Billy Crystal and Robert Williams, their conversation in the coffee shop is completely improvised, including. joey's interruption that's crazy like i i want to go back and look at that scene again because the way they were talking it's weird it's like the patter of the scene the friends are trying to have as they cut in and out it's weird it's like there is some degree of editing in that scene as i remember there are some wides or whatever and close-ups but like they are having a slightly more

boil platey sort of like monica's trying to get a thought out and these guys just interrupt it but uh yeah i don't remember the exact details i just remember them having conversation and leaving and then monica was like i don't remember what i was talking about and then the cuss of the credits this goes on to say billy crystal and robin william's appearance wasn't in the original script they were by coincidence in the same building or the one across the street from where friends was being filmed and the writers asked if they wanted a guest appearance this was the day of shooting so it was just quickly thrown in wow that is freaking awesome i love that Monica was supposed to have a line after

the two men played by Billy Crystal and Robin Williams left, but Courtney Cox was so flummox that she genuinely forgot what she was going to say, so Adlib that she forgot what she wanted to tell them. It was perfect because, yeah, like that's the effect it has on us, too,

and I think that's really fun. Robin Williams and Billy Crystal's came on the opening scene coincided with the release of their film Father's Day 1987, which opened the day after this episode aired. Goodness, in 2016, John Favreau stated that he would have liked to know oh wait I don't want to say anything about

that we're out of Robin Williams territory I don't know how many more times we're going to see When Robin Williams and Billy Crystal enter the coffee shop Billy points towards the audience and director presumably to tell him to keep rolling He looks at the audience again on the way out Did they like surprise them with this appearance?

Oh where do you see that Lisa Cudra and Billy Crystal go on to star and analyze this and analyze that I forget that she's in those movies golly let's see did the friends cast know billy crystal and robin williams were going

to show up that's what I want to know no the main cast was not aware according to this that Billy Crystal and Robin Williams were going to appear in the scene the two comedians were not in the original script for the season three episode the one with the ultimate fighting champion is a happy accident

and was entirely improvised uh wow Williams and Crystal happened to be working on the Warner Studio a lot and wandered onto the set where Friends was taping that's great

since the producer Kevin Knight knew the comedy duo he spontaneously asked if they would be willing to do a quick unscripted opening scene at the last minute though taken by surprise the main cast members leaned into the moment

Matt LeBlanc's line interrupting the duo so you're the gynecologist was an ad lib as was Courtney Cox's line after the leave I really can't remember her original story

that is so friggin wild wild truly that is like oh that's that's yeah it's a special that's a special moment in TV history for sure and especially if they just kind of like wandered in there that's

that's beautiful man and them all just around them wow and props to those guys for uh to the core cast for adlet like going along with it and you know I wonder if there's anything on the cutting room floor

of a moment like that yeah Yeah, good question. Or if this was all just kind of like a single take or something like that. Yeah, maybe they'll talk about it because I do know that there's like a friend's reunion special after the show is over. So maybe we'll address it. Yeah. All righty. Good job team, though.

This is a good ass bunch of episodes, iconic. I see why this show is so beloved. It was great. All right, guys. This has been awesome. We're going to walk on out of here now. It's been a good day. It's a good day.

All right. It's been fun. And, dude, great reactions. Thank you, man. Good commentary. Alexander. At Fandual Casino, you get even more ways to play. Dive into new and exciting games.
