Starting point is 00:00:00 Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void, and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us, because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise.
Starting point is 00:00:27 CBC News. With Amex Platinum, almost every purchase made with your card can be covered with points, including new tastes, new fits, and virtually everything in between.

Starting point is 00:03:43 Arun. How you feel in season 5 in the can? Feel good. Feeling well as well. This was a fun season. Twas. The season of Monica and Chandler. Dude, truly their season. Yeah. And it just goes to
Starting point is 00:03:59 show that a show can remain interesting, even after five plus seasons. Dude, man. I liked the fact that they're gonna get married seemingly but then as usual the thunderstorm Ross and Rachel
Starting point is 00:04:16 shenanning again they have shenan and they're shenaning once more while drunkenly getting married as their faces are covered in seemingly permanent marker it's going to be that way for the rest of the show for the entire rest of the next five seasons remaining
Starting point is 00:04:33 this is wild man we've we've officially hit the halfway mark of the show Not ready, bro. We're halfway done. I am not freaking ready. This was a very fun season. This is a very fun batch of episodes. This season, it's interesting, had, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:49 certainly the major development, Monica and Chandler, or at least, you know, carrying that through from season four. But this one had a nice blend, I think, of like, it's definitely got all the serial stuff still. This felt maybe a little bit more episodic.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I would say so. Then we've been in a little bit, not in a bad way, you know, but, you know, coming to this finale even. Once we got to, like, the second to last episode, I was sort of like, okay, what is going to be, like, the ending note of this? Yeah, I was expecting something and maybe a little bigger, perhaps, and it kind of was like, oh, all right, cool. It felt like a, it felt more like a mid-season finale than like a season finale. Given what a lot of the season finale have amounted to, especially with, like, the jeopardy of Ross and Rachel, or just again, like a, a freaking, bomb dropper of the take the Rachel moment.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, like, and I don't begrudge than that. Like, it's interesting, and I'm sure some of our questions will jump into this. Like, it's, I had a great time, and I think this is really fun, and I really do like the Vegas two-parter as a way to end the season. It still feels like a kind of special event. But, yeah, there isn't as much, like, catastrophe or any, or as much of, like, a huge cliffhanger. Like, Ross and Rachel getting drunkenly married is a development.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah. You know, is something I think. will need to be talked about and dealt with. I don't think this will be them happily ever after just yet. But it is fun that, you know, the season, last season ended and this season started with a wedding and then this season ends with a wedding. Yeah. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And too, you have, you know, the tension of like, okay, I was sitting there thinking like, okay, are Monica and Chandler going to talk themselves out of this? Yeah. Or, you know, decide that it's not the right time. And, like, that would be neat. That would be fine. be interesting, but at the same time, yeah, you kind of need like a punch. And so like the shock of Ross and Rachel after everything, like does have a punch. But yeah, is certainly like a gentler
Starting point is 00:06:50 stakes finale, I guess I would say than some of the other ones. Yeah. Which is not, which in a way I'm not upset about because again, like, I guess they can all be high stakes, but I don't mind going to a bit more of a mellow circumstance for this one. And it is interesting now that we're really, re-entering the entertainment of the the ross and racial stuff and then obviously phoebe and i'm sorry um monica and chanler very much in the full swing of things so we know we have phoebe and joey's kind of like not floaters per se but you know they're not part of a a couple so their storylines feel a little detached um yeah i felt i felt like i really liked phoebe's storyline in this finale but i feel like joey's it was just like i feel like they didn't know what to do with
Starting point is 00:07:35 them they're like all right let's give them the hands thing that was very strange yeah honestly like it's i i like the joey going to shoot a movie thing i like that thread i think him having to get the job is funny but then yeah the whole hand modeling thing i this is just such a weird it's just yeah like unless they're going to pay that off next episode or they're going to pay that off somewhere down the line like it is a very random like silly like what yeah this is like purely a joey original over here. I don't even know what to make of the, like it's funny, but I don't know what to make out of it. And yeah, it does kind of detach him
Starting point is 00:08:11 from a lot of the other stuff happening because, you know, it's like Phoebe is off on her own, Joey is off on his own, and then you have Monica and Chandler and then you have Ross and Rachel. So like, interesting, all amusing, but also, yeah, very sort of like, weird, how do you arrive at this?
Starting point is 00:08:27 This storyline for him. Yeah. Yeah, I would say that out of the block we've watched, I really like the one that was largely a bottle episode with the pizza stuff in the apartment and Joey's grandma. That was very fun. Yeah, where they're all coming over to watch the Law & Order. I thought that was really funny.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And yeah, the whole pizza delivery girl bit and the flirting and all that. Like, I definitely cringed viscerally but also very fun. And the whole like looking for the earrings thing and like the chain of approval with Phoebe and Rachel and Monica was pretty funny. Like that episode overall, I do appreciate
Starting point is 00:08:59 like it's not quite as much of like a big old showstopper as the last bottle episode. But I really like that one too. Yeah and for them mentioning Richard and Emily I think they mentioned Emily a couple times post you know the marriage not working out. I thought they're going to bring her
Starting point is 00:09:15 back but they're just kind of like a one-off voice note thing unless they bring her back next season for some reason but yeah I was like huh interesting but she recorded that she was credited for that and so like interesting but yeah they dangled that and I thought we were going to see her and I thought we were going to
Starting point is 00:09:31 see Richard but I'm really mad that we didn't Yeah, I mean, I always want some more Tom Selleck. I like Tom Selleck. Yeah, he's just so fun to watch the second you hear Richard. He's like, what? Is he going to be back? But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Emily, you know, like, I'm kind of actually okay with, like, I like the crossroads. Like, oh, should Ross call? Should Ross not call? I'm happy he didn't, but I just think the expectation. I like that actress, but yeah, I don't. Also, I just like the mess of it all. And I think it would have been interesting to see how that would have played out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:03 you know we didn't necessarily need it yeah absolutely i thought the whole like back and forth between rachel and monica about the message was kind of cool like i like their plot line that episode as the boys are out for their ride along which was also pretty amusing the whole me paul sam like that was actually a very funny payoff because like at first i thought it was just going to be how it reads which is like oh joey got scared or he flinched and he just happened to jump on ross and no it's not even that it's that he's trying to protect the sandwich which is That was hilarious. It was a very, very funny way to pay that off.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And the Gary stuff, which like in this show, I feel like you can have like a few episode. You can be like a recurring character. And then the second they decide you're out, you're just out. Yeah. I feel like his exit felt very out of left field because he seemed like a real nice guy. All of a sudden, he's a psychopath who shoots birds. I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I guess we're done with him now. Which is, which I'm chewing on because in one breath, I think that's pretty funny. and it's and I think because for my taste because they kept making this deal out of like well there's I love everything I know about you and there's stuff we don't know about each other and so like the second they move it together it's firing out the window at birds is just like yeah it's just like a 100% like nope like in the more I think of it together yeah she spent the night of his place she's still in the same fit that she wasn't from the previous day yeah but still even I don't know just like the second they yeah like shift into that mode we immediately discover like the biggest red flag for Phoebe not wanting to be with him. This is pretty funny. And yeah, like, I liked his presence. I like what he brought. So I wouldn't be surprised if we ever saw him again.
Starting point is 00:11:41 But it was just kind of like a funny like, oh, I guess he's gone now. But yeah, man. Let me see. We got also the Yeah, the Sphinx cat, which was kind of, you know, one of the more random just subplots of this. I like that she offloaded it on Gunther, though.
Starting point is 00:11:59 The freaking ball going for like 12 hours was pretty epic That was awesome I like fun Yeah I like and that was one of those moments Where I was like oh please the second they called out How long it's been I'm like Please make this the thing for the rest of the episode
Starting point is 00:12:12 It's such a random choice I was hoping everyone was gonna get into it And like yeah we'd have all six of them tossing the ball That'd have been a lot of fun Yeah I thought everyone was gonna yeah I would have liked that But it's cool it's all right It's fine you can't get them all Yeah and then you know
Starting point is 00:12:27 Phoebe ultimately being the dropper Broke my heart Uh, the one with, I like the plotline with Joey's movie though. I thought that was pretty fun. I did enjoy that, yeah. Yeah, the whole, the whole to do about it. Him getting cast, him and Chandler starting the road trip, the questions game leading to Chandler being like, I don't believe this is going to be your big break actually.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And then, yeah, Joey going out, getting to set that randomness, him getting the Caesar's palace. Yeah. And like as a segue into the two part finale, I thought that was really fun. Uh, you know, that's like a, you know, it's ultimately kind of like three. Vegas episodes, but really the two mainly. But yeah, like, they're still got that
Starting point is 00:13:06 nice finesse on, like, how to again, serial Lee crest into episodic circumstances. But yeah, golly, kicked out on the George Washington Bridge. And Rachel's eye infection, that's right? That was a fun little bit at the end of there.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Everybody ganging up to freaking get the drops in. And then, yeah, Phoebe, angry at Ross, not remembering. and it being a dream also pretty funny and a good way to tie that game around of the like ask me questions real rapidly you know to get the answer
Starting point is 00:13:38 and then yeah the freaking finale good shit I like the friction between Ross and Rachel coming out of the naked subplot yeah with then leading to them ultimately like stuck in like a quarantine and then ultimately having a blast getting plastered
Starting point is 00:13:59 and getting married. Just like super fun. Ross and Monica having tension makes sense. Monica going off on like a crazy gambling vendor and just like racking up wins. Also fun. You said Ross and Monica? Sorry, Chandler and Monica. That would not be a good version of that plot line.
Starting point is 00:14:18 That'd be a different one because Joey's question. That's right. That whole thing too. That's right. You had that whole thing with Rachel. So funny. Yeah. The Hay-A-Twin thing, funny.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I don't quite get it, but funny. And then, yeah, the physical act of love. And then the lurker, all that good stuff. The return of Regina Falange. This was epic. This was still really fun. This was still really good. Let's chime in with our patrons, our royalist rejects, our sexy rejects.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Gang, thank you for chiming in, bringing your cues. We got some A's for you. Wait, no. there we go I'm all ZZ thank you for chiming in I'm sure it's been a heck of a whirlwind the whole Ross and Rachel
Starting point is 00:15:08 saga at this point what do you think will happen now that they're legally bound oh boy well I feel like it's probably not obviously it's not the best decision for them
Starting point is 00:15:25 because what do you mean I don't know me know what I take it all back It's the perfect way to start their new life together and everything's going to be great. No, I really like their subplot this season. I felt like it was an interesting point of starting the season where he was upset about Emily. She was in love with him. And then this season wasn't about the game between them. I felt like it was largely cordial, largely Potonic, giving him some space to deal with his feelings.
Starting point is 00:15:58 her kind of being like, all right, I'm a fallback as well. So for them to end it at this place was definitely surprising, but those two actors have great chemistry and seeing them as friends playing that game in the hotel to end up with him with the name across his own name across his face and being a cat was interesting. And how do I think things will go? I don't think they'll stay married.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I think this is going to be something that will probably be resolved. within the first two or three episodes of the next season. Yeah. But who knows? Maybe they'll rekindle things. Maybe they'll reevaluate their relationship because they're technically married. What do you think? I am fascinated.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I honestly have no idea what's going to happen here. I kind of am with you. I'm like, I sort of expect sober minds to prevail on this one and them to, uh, I guess you'd have to have an annulled or something. thing, right? Because it does count. It is like a legally binding thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:03 In a Vegas marriage, right? So like, yeah, I feel like, you know, I doubt this is going to lead to a season of them being married or anything like that. Because I feel like it doesn't fit within the long game of the show to do that. But also, I am sitting here wondering. And, you know, I know that part of the fun will be the journey as to how we get them unhitched. But also, you know. I don't know. As much as I am like, I bet this is going to be undone.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And then the first one, like you said, first couple episodes of the next season, part of me is like, I don't know, maybe they'll subvert my expectation. Because it tends to do that. You know, we had the, I think it was season three, the finale where Ross had to pick the room. And then that was pretty much undone very quickly with him choosing Rachel. Yeah. Much higher before the review. Yeah. And then him saying Rachel's name with the wedding.
Starting point is 00:17:57 and then them not getting together through most of the season. So you really, I feel like this show's proven itself to not be predictable in that regard. So I genuinely can't say where this goes. And we'll just have to find out when we watch next time. Truly, though, it has been a heck of a whirlwind. I can absolutely agree with you there. All right. Take it away.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Shapely? Wait, hold on. I want to do the Terminator, but it's, there you go. Hey, friends. Do you think that Chandler and Monica are moving too fast? with the impromptu wedding or would it have worked out? Probably too fast, but I like the idea. I think this worked out well for them.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Because part of me was sitting there thinking, okay, now that they're here and it's real, they might have a chat. I forgot what time it was in the episode, which is good. So I was like, oh, are they going to have a chat and decide to not do it right now? I think the point of this whole thing is that it just shows that they are willing to, you know, go a step further.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It's a journey on especially channel. is part of like really opening up to commitment so i think yeah it's mostly to serve the purpose at least from where i'm sitting now of just you know deepening their relationship but yeah i don't i don't think of them getting married right now would be exactly the right place and time i like where the heart's coming from though yeah like i like that this is showing chanelers growth as far as his history of being someone who's afraid of commitment and now him truly falling into this thing with Monica even though you know they're still not perfect they have their insecurities and their their little things that you know have them to cause them to still like
Starting point is 00:19:39 a fighter or whatnot but i feel like his commitment to her was showing that this is something that he is serious about something he's real about and yeah i i wonder if seeing ross and rachel was like oh maybe we're not making the greatest decision let's not do something so impulsive and kind of let our relationship read a little bit more and let things happen naturally over the course of of time. But yeah, I think it's definitely them moving a little too fast. And I feel like if you want a wedding, maybe do it, do it right, do it proper, you know, get her family involved, have your men be your groomsmen. And especially if all your friends are there, invite them to the wedding, you know?
Starting point is 00:20:28 It's your first wedding. It's your first wedding. This is a Ross, all right? At this point, no one's obligated to come to a Ross wedding. Right, right. You know, if anyone should be getting married, like, at Vegas or in the judge's chambers now, it's Ross. It should be Ross, right? You've shown us that you don't deserve a proper, proper ceremony.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Because it's going to be done done with anything. How about this? You stay married for 10 years and then we'll do a ceremony to renew your values. Exactly. Do a quick one and then if you guys, if you pass the trial period, then we'll give you a proper wedding. Tots agree. Yeah. Nikki Sonrisa. Thank you for chiming in, Nikki.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Hey, Jaron. Hey, to you. Happy friends day. Happy friends day, Nikki. Happy friends day. To everyone. To all of our friends. The one in Vegas, parts one and two is one of my favorite adventures in the entirety of friends.
Starting point is 00:21:23 In particular, I think it's some of the funniest writing we've. seen in this in friends so far what do you think is the funniest bit from these two episodes and why is it joey's hand twin joey's hand twin is just inexplicable and i just love that he is so i am charmed by the fact that he is so clear-eyed about what the importance and the excitement of this is and everyone else except phoebe is like what what and i kind of like that we are not in on the joke, but Joey and Phoebe are. I'm not going to lie Nicky. Aaron
Starting point is 00:22:00 hates this plot. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it, but I didn't find it extremely funny. But I will say I respect Joey's belief in himself and his commitment to seeing this thing through. Even if the other guy he wants to be hand twins with
Starting point is 00:22:16 and start a business with doesn't see it, nor does he want to be involved at all. He is committed to making it happen. And I think that is the type of attitude that's going to gain Joey some success at some point in his career. But I appreciate his enthusiasm and his general glee and excitement for trying to make this obscure, very specific thing happen and bring it to a semblance of reality where the world can enjoy it. He has a whole jingle and everything.
Starting point is 00:22:45 He's thought this through. He's a man of vision and I respect it. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's one of those things I think because it is so overtly kind of, of random and silly like you are going to kind of gravitate to that or not um i mean i do think it's funny i thought just the general especially when ross and rachel are like full on in drunk mode just like having a blast the physical comedy dials up i thought some of that stuff was high hilarious that was my favorite stuff i liked when joey was like how you do it and ritch was like
Starting point is 00:23:20 how you do it baby he's like yeah don't let a drink anymore yeah yeah yeah yeah you're three spots. Yeah. So yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of really fun stuff in the in the Vegas arc. But yeah, trying to think if there's anything else. I mean, I did like the scene where Phoebe sits down with Joey at the table and they both try to play, you know, play the game for old Thomas Lennon. And he's like, I'll cut my hand off and give it to you if you leave. That's pretty funny. That was pretty funny. But leave us your thoughts on what the funniest bit from these two episodes was and why you think it was Joey's hand. twin uh thank you for chiming in nicky terra's next ta-ta guys girls rejects i'm gonna tell you the god's honest truth i take a liquid iv one to two times a day daily if i had a religion to follow it would be this i take it after i work out i take it in the middle of the day when i need

Starting point is 00:25:39 I'm sweating. I'm going to take one of you right now, actually. Replenish. Hi, John and Aaron. What a ride. And I can't wait for season six. I feel like David Swimmers' physical comedy gets better and better. his facial expressions and the way he delivers the lines make me laugh so hard.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Me too. From Red Ross with his sandwich to my best friend and my sister, I have to remember not to drink anything while I watch. Otherwise, I will be a spit take. I also have to say, I think Jennifer is also getting funny. I agree with that. I love Ross and Rachel playing practical jokes on each other. that you have a favorite actor, a comedian who makes you laugh like that. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Oh, golly. That's a tricky one. I mean, yeah, first and foremost, like, I think we've said so many times, one of the funnest surprises of this show is that there is so much physical comedy and that the cast is like really good at that. And David Schwimmer stands out because I feel like they give him a lot of that. Like Chandler does have a fair amount of, like, physical things. But I don't know, for whatever reason, yeah, David Schwimmer's.
Starting point is 00:26:50 always the one like bumping into stuff or falling over. He's great. And I had some good ones too. He does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, and especially I feel like this past season, I think we commented at one point, like, man, a lot more slapstick, a lot more physical from people just generally around. But yeah, Red Ross with the sandwich, iconic. My best friend.
Starting point is 00:27:10 If I see the flip of that is great. But, oh, golly, man. Oh, wow. A favorite actor or comedian who, like, just busts your gut. I know there is a good answer for this. I know there's so many options. I think the first one that comes to mine, who's not necessarily the grand master of physical comedy,
Starting point is 00:27:34 even though there's some implored. I think John Mullaney is very, very funny. John Mullaney. Yeah. Very funny man. His new in-town bit always kills me. I think the special before his last one also was really great for me. I always reference him in my day-to-day.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Oh, absolutely. I think when John Hamm is funny, it's very funny. I'm trying to think out. I know I have a good answer for this, and I don't have it off the top of my head. But an actor or comedian who makes me laugh like that, oh, God, there was a name that just floated through my mind. Find it. It's in there.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's in the ether. Who's that funny? It's floating. Who's that funny? Floating, floating, floating. Oh, no. In your head, in your ether. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Let's see. Funniest actors. Funniest comedians. Who makes me laugh? Searching. Oh, that's your head. I'm sorry. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I mean, Mitch Hedberg makes me laugh a whole lot. I like, you know, silly nonsense and absurdity and stuff like that. Oh, golly. So many. this is a hard one man especially like two I'm trying to think of who's got the physical comedy
Starting point is 00:28:56 you know who's got the slapstick best physical comedians let's do and I want everyone chiming in on this it's not a specific actor but one of my favorite moments from our reaction was when we're watching blues brothers blues brothers man
Starting point is 00:29:12 and they had a rocket launch a shot at them and it's like it's 9 a.m. We're late for work I mean, the two of them in that movie, it's weird because Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi are so, they play it so straight and they're like so unaffected by the world around them that like, I mean, that whole experience, like I was thinking about Blues Brothers when trying to answer this question. And I was like, you know, both of them aren't being like the funny guy all the time. And yet like there's something like so gut bustingly hilarious about that particular. movie. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure I've had that with like, I don't know, a lot of the SCTV people, like, I don't know, I'm sure like Martin Short or someone like that has like busted my gut a
Starting point is 00:30:01 time or two. There's a guy named Neil Sissi Erega who does like mashup music among other things. And he did a version of the Ghostbusters theme song, but it's just called Bustin. and it's hilarious. And it makes me giggle like an idiot every single time. So yes, I don't know. Like, I feel like I should have an answer locked and loaded for this, but I'll think about it as we continue on.
Starting point is 00:30:30 But, hey, who's your favorite actor or comedian who just like devolves you into fits of joyous giggles? Let us know. Let us tomato pickle. That was. not the right clapping cadence, but there you go. Unsecret identity. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Here we go. Hello. Happy Friends Day and Mazel Tov. Happy Friends Day and Security Identity. Yeah. To Mazel to Mrs. Mrs. Ross and Mr. Rachel. Hello.
Starting point is 00:31:02 But more importantly, give us your best dream gig if you were ever to find your identical hand twin. Extra points if you had an impromptu hand performance together while singing this hand. is your hand This hand is my hand Oh wait that's your hand No wait that's my hand California
Starting point is 00:31:25 To the no hand Islands This hand is made From parts of me and you I did a hand performance I was doing a hand can Hand can of the hand Man
Starting point is 00:31:39 Two hands So yeah What's your What's your, uh, from freaking thing? What's your freaking hand endeavor? What do you, what do you? A hand ever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Okay. I would remake. Okay. Okay. Here's what I would do. You ready? I would remake the parent trap, but with hands. And there'd be like two, two identical hands.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And then we would, they'd both be Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan. you see and yeah I would put like little wigs on my hands and then one would be British one would be American
Starting point is 00:32:21 and their parents would also be hands and it would be great but we could change it up a little bit and everything would have some sort of either hand-related title or name or some sort of body part and it would be glorious and it would all be done in sign language
Starting point is 00:32:40 all right and yeah that's what my delirious brain says right now. I haven't answered the previous question. It is. There's a scene. I haven't seen this film,
Starting point is 00:32:49 but I have seen this one scene. There's a scene in Wonderlust. This is a David Wayne movie with Paul Rudd. And I believe Jennifer Anderson, uh, there's a scene where Paul Rudd goes in the bathroom to like try and talk himself up because the concede of the movie is like,
Starting point is 00:33:05 they're this couple and they're like trying to spice up their marriage. So they're, they like, they wind up at like a place for swingers essentially. And so like, they're opening. up their relationship and all that stuff and, you know, hijinks and sue. But there's a sea
Starting point is 00:33:17 where Paul Rudd goes in the bathroom. And he's trying to, like, talk himself up in the mirror. And I can't really quote much of it here, but he's just like, he's trying to, like, psych himself up for sex. And so he's in the mirror and he's like, yeah, you're going, you know, take it. You don't take that. Be your car.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Like, he's just, like, doing these, like, really exaggerated, like, you know, let me break off a piece of my dick. I'm fixing to fuck you see it's yeah and I watch it sometimes
Starting point is 00:33:50 out of context when I need to laugh like an idiot I'll show you after this please because it is explicit but it's just so funny and yes that's my answer
Starting point is 00:34:00 to Tara's question Tara's question um here what would be my hand endeavor yeah oh man dude I mean what happened to those thumb
Starting point is 00:34:09 movies I'm gonna start making some movies Dude, thumb wars or Yeah, there's real things Yeah, dude, they used to have them on videotape Look, there's bat thumb It's 28 minutes

Starting point is 00:34:39 Complete collection by Steve O'Dickirk. Which is $300. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Narlie. Let's see. Also, I would start a, like, an avant-garde art installation called the sound of one hand clapping, where I, you know, just clap my one hand against other things, you know, in one of those boxes.
Starting point is 00:35:05 I stick my hand in like a glass box and just, like, clap with other stuff. I think I could do I'll do a film, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. But every shot is on the actor's hands. Okay. So there's still dialogue, but you can't see their faces. You just have to go all off of hand posture,
Starting point is 00:35:25 hand, you know, etiquette. I would do hand poetry with someone else's hand, but we would have to be in sync. It would be like it would be like four sets of hands, and we're all doing hand poetry in sync. and yeah it sounds beautiful because all the hands are in unison so it's like an echo chamber of hands all communicating at once and my hope would you would cry from my hand and their feelings yeah absolutely yeah oh and because this is a you know you have to have your hand you know your hand identical hand twin
Starting point is 00:36:03 all of these things will be happening in duplicate yes you know so me and my hand twin in the hand movie we're going to be playing twins okay you know actually we're going to be playing the same where yeah it's going to be like a lot of split screen stuff because we can do that like when they shoot twins to play the same person so one person playing two people is going to be twins playing one person's hands i like that and then the avant garde art exhibit there's going to be two different places so it's like one hand but which one hand is it my hand or their hand and which are they clapping about you know what are they clapping on you know anything yeah absolutely wow i'll i'll do like a hand-based news report where I just morse code me and the other hand just morse code shit out
Starting point is 00:36:44 okay I like that do do do do do do do do do do yeah there's a lot of things you can do with hands there's a lot of things you can do rock paper scissors league rock paper scissors league yeah you in your hand uh you know you're you've got like a hand tag team then yeah with your person I will okay I would also start another business called only hands yes and this is where we're just like rubbing moist things on dry things. But with two identical twin pairs of hands. With two identical twin pairs of hands. Remember when movies were always just like twins?
Starting point is 00:37:20 Like there was just like a thing back in the day where anyone was like, oh my God, hot twins. Just hot twins. All these hot twins. People were like twins. Yeah, twins were all the rage back in the day. I would do a remake of twins with my hand twin. Oh, so would one hand be like. That would be the hand move.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Handy Devito. Handy DeVito and Arn. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes. Yeah. And you got to recreate the poster with your two hands. Go on Handteaks Roadshow. Go on QVC with these hands.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Ooh, okay. There's so many things. I'll start a haunted house called Catch These Hands. You sign a waiver and then the two of us just smack you. Ooh, okay. Like blackout experience or something. I make a hand of Steve. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And one would be super hand. Yes. The other one would be hands odd. Dude. Like action figures from our childhood. But they're not actually doing moves. They're just kind of smashing together. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:21 And what I put special effects in between the smashing. So it looks more visceral. Me and my hand double would do like lie. You know how they would do like, you know, like, oh, marionette show or something like that? We'll do like show tunes. But with our hands. in a little stage in costume. Ooh, I like that.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Is a cabaret, but hands. Okay. You know? Okay. I'll start a hand circus. Sure. Yeah. So we would do all the circus things.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And then after every one of these events, we'll be there to give you like one of those like good game, high fives. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I like it. I think we've exhausted the potential for what you could do with your hand double.
Starting point is 00:39:04 We have a few, we have a few possibilities, a few business ideas in the works. I was going to say, if I think of anything else, I'll stop the video and we'll talk about it. But leave us your handovers in the comments below. Please. Peggy's Feet.com. Michelle. Michelle. Take it away.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Okay. If you were Joey's casting agent, what kind of roles would you try to get auditions for him for? What types of characters would he be perfect to play? Wow. What do you think Joey would be good at? I think Joey would be good at playing. You know what? Hit me.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I want to see Joey playing. See, this is a good question, right? Because part of me is like, oh, you know, I could honestly see him as, like, some kind of detective or something like that. Okay. Put Joey in, like, a film noir movie or something like that. Or, you know, how about? I mean, the thing is we got to get Joey on a sitcom and then we got to transition Joey into action star. I want to put Joey in the Chris Pratt pipeline.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Okay. I can see it. You know, because think of it. Matt LeBlanc did Friends and then did Lost in Space the movie. And, you know, he's pretty cool in that movie. Yeah. He's the pilot. He's got a cool gun that turns into a rifle and he's got a cool, like, metal face mask that, like, goes up over his face and then he's shooting bugs.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Are you serious? Yes, I'm serious. I just to love this movie as a kid. I've never even heard of this movie. Lost in space. Yeah, dude, freaking William Hurt is in it. Mimi Rogers,
Starting point is 00:40:48 Gary Oldman, Dewey from Malcolm in the middle. Lacey Chabere from Mean Girls. No freaking way. Yeah, man. Freaking look at this. There's Matt LeBlanc. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:41:00 There's Matt LeBlanc. In 1998. 1998, man. Alongside Friends. Who's that? freaking the man the myth 27% on Ron Tomatoes There's his cool mask
Starting point is 00:41:15 Look at that thing. It like slides up over his head Plate by plate. It kind of looks like the destroyer. Dude, look at this guy. He's like a boss in this movie. Look at him how cool. Oh and Heather Graham is in it too. Oh wow. Yeah there's a lot of people in this movie. There's a lot of people in this movie. People don't like the movie but I did. He looks very serious. Yeah, look at how cool he. is. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I'm trying to make him cool back in the day. What would I cast Joey in for reals? Okay. Probably as a character who wears Hawaiian shirts. For sure.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I would definitely cast him as one of those guys. I feel like, you know, if he really got his chops down, he could play an old-timey detective. I think I would like that for Joe. A little against type. You know, he made an okay doctor.
Starting point is 00:41:59 So why not a detective? Let's see. I want to cast him in one of those movies where he's got a dress. is like a lady you know okay make a Joey big mama's house kind of thing big joey's big Joey's house big Joey's house and and he's always got a sandwich from the sandwich place that sandwich did look good okay yeah I like it I don't know what are you cast in Joey I'd cast Joey in like a sex comedy I probably cast him in like like an American pie honestly that's that's a better answer
Starting point is 00:42:34 and also cast Joey as like booster gold. Joey would be a great booster gold type character. Yes, yes, yes. You're a better casting director for this question. I think you would do good in those types of roles. You know, something that plays to his sensibilities as someone who's likable, but also not stretch him too far because, you know, he won't. I feel like Joey's the type of guy who can play things that are adjacent to him.
Starting point is 00:42:58 So I feel like casting him is something that suits his sensibilities as like, a ladies man or a goofball or you know he'd also you know what i think in an alternate universe i feel like he could also be some of some of adam sandler's roles but he would play them a little differently than adam sandler of course yeah um halfway between sandler and jim carey yeah i'm like mr deeds that's another one from the previous question jim carrie when we watched ace ventura cracked my shit up oh yeah i still say like a glove whenever i park places now. See, this thing is about this question.
Starting point is 00:43:38 You are, you are actually meeting Joey where he is. Yeah, you're challenging. I'm like, I want to push your range. I want you to play a down on his luck boxer. That's the thing. Are we casting Matt LeBlanc or are we casting Joey? Don't cast Joey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I'll cast Joey. All right. All right. Down his luck boxer, you said. Okay. Down his luck boxer, detective, you know, with a fedora hat, old timey detective. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. Or, yeah, I don't know. This is tough. Or other roles, Joey could play. He could be like a lovable best friend in like a coming of age story. Dude, yeah, he could be. He could be like the Jason Siegel in an I Love You Man type of scenario. I've seen I Love You Man.
Starting point is 00:44:23 That's a fun movie. I love You Man. I would love to watch it. We watched it at a test screening once ages and ages ago. They didn't bother to bring out the questionnaires because that's how. much the audience enjoyed it. Oh, wow. And, uh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Yeah. And then on top of that, they gave us little pirouette float drinks. Hey. Which is a reference to the movie, you aren't going to understand. Maybe I'll watch it here someday. I'm going to cast Joey in the Ross biopic. I'm with it. Leave us your Joey casting down below.
Starting point is 00:44:53 All right, Mary Sol. Mary Soul. Just for fun. So Ross definitely can't flirt, but whom amongst the, I would also cast Joey as like an old centurion. Okay. Just based on what we saw there, I think he could pull it off, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:08 For sure. Yeah. Anyway, but whom amongst the real rejects you think have got, have the most game and who might be the most adorably uncomfortable flurter? Oh. Oh. I think I'm nominating people who have Riz, the real Rizjects, I would.
Starting point is 00:45:33 argue that I think probably Roxy and Aaron have Riz. Get out of here. I think you would have some Riz. I think you would. I think you would have, you know, you would, yeah, not be, I think, you know, Andrew might be an uncomfortable flirt or depending. It depends. I think, I think, I think.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Ladies love Andrew. Ladies love Andrew. I think Andrews fucking slept on because, like, listen. I've known Andrew for some years. and just like I don't know Andrew's business like that
Starting point is 00:46:06 but he's dated some people and he'll show me picture I was like well I'll be fucking damn Andrew Andrew shows me a picture
Starting point is 00:46:17 of Jennifer Aniston like yeah we were talking for three weeks so they're just like yeah like you know Andrew's like
Starting point is 00:46:23 references glasses like glasses mustache secretly supermodel I'm like what did you do
Starting point is 00:46:29 what did you say I don't know secretly Andrew is at the top of this food chain Andrew is the Jewish L.O. Cool
Starting point is 00:46:36 Jay. He's L.O. Cool Jew. That's what the J stands for. That is like a shark spin except instead of a hat, it's a little young. Ladies love cool Jew, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:55 All right, so the Jew Jex would be good would have the Riz. Yes, they take the, they take the cake. I nominate you only, you're good at listening and you have like a very,
Starting point is 00:47:06 you have a fun and inviting energy. I feel like if you're not too psyched out, you'd be good. I don't feel like you would be that awkward. I don't think so. I nominate you, actually, because you were extremely witty, extremely smart, and also extremely personable. I feel like you have that perfect balance that I feel like it's not common in a lot of people of warmth and incompetence. Oh, thanks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I really appreciate that. Yeah, dude, of course. I'm a real 50-50 with the game. And the more I'm like, if I'm like in Ross's shoes where like clearly he cares a great deal. Yes. About this going well, then not so much. Like the more invested, the more like anxious I am, the worse it gets because then those tools start to disappear. You're like, where'd you go?
Starting point is 00:47:59 Where'd you go? I need some cool words. I need my wit. Where'd you go? But if I'm in the situations where I'm able to kind of create. or not be like too concerned then I can get there I've never seen you like at a loss for words though
Starting point is 00:48:12 I feel like you could probably like talk your way out of or talk your way in a situation possibly yeah it's like I could probably keep the situation running without like completely stalling out it's just a question of whether I would actually be able to like achieve my mission of risen
Starting point is 00:48:29 you know what I mean the most adorably uncomfortable flirter though that's rough I don't know I don't know who I'm a thing I feel like for myself. I feel like my warmth is a strength and I don't want to say weakness but I'm sooner to I'm sooner to
Starting point is 00:48:47 unpack your trauma than to drop the panties. There's a slogan for you. Yep. You should put that on a coffee mug. You should make that the tagline of your therapy practice. Oh yes. Yeah. Let me get to know you intimately but not in a sexual way.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I just want to know your soul. It's a weird way to put your ethics up front there, Doc. I'm saying if you were having a, like, if you were therapist, that should be on your business card. Yeah, totally. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Actually, if you were a sex therapist, that would be a good one because then that would be like, yeah, ethical sex therapy. Of course, actually. I don't want to nominate anybody to be adorably uncomfortable. But then again, I'm like, maybe, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I don't know anyone really is uncomfortable like that. I can be adorably uncomfortable if I'm in the right place or the wrong place, I guess. And I feel like Tara has so much like, I don't know, she's just like an innate force. So I don't feel like, you know, I can't imagine Tara being the uncomfortable one. Maybe like. The closest thing I can imagine in their own version of like Ross at the door situation. And granted, I haven't known him long. enough to say this so this could be a totally inaccurate assessment at this point but I feel like
Starting point is 00:50:15 someone who could flirt adorably and maybe put their foot in their mouth could be john j-on oh sure yeah but you know either of us either john could be that guy I could see it but I doubt it but I can understand the scenario which that would happen not to say that it's as likely scenario but I can see a scenario all right gang rank the rejects in terms of uh yeah game to most adorably awkward, uncomfortable. Who's flirting the best at the reject nation? Leaving the comments below. Let us know, please.
Starting point is 00:50:50 One more. Jay Rustin. What up, Jay? Question, what rejects would enjoy a trip to Vegas the most? Oh. That's not exactly what the question said, but I paraphrased. Yeah, I mean, I would enjoy a trip to Vegas. I feel like you and I would have the most fun of Vegas.
Starting point is 00:51:07 We would have a lot of fun of Vegas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like we would be the most inviting of like, yeah, we're in Vegas. I mean, like, Roxy would get down in Vegas, I think. Tara and Roxy both would probably be fun in Vegas, I would imagine. Yeah. I don't think Greg would care. I don't think Greg likes Vegas so much.
Starting point is 00:51:22 I think it would be like 830. I don't think Greg would care to go on this trip. Yeah, I think it would be like 830 and Greg would be ready to go back to the hotel. Yeah, Greg is ready to like chill in the hotel, go grab somebody to eat, and then, you know, go to sleep at a reasonable hour. Yeah. Greg's an old man. Yeah, I would say, I mean, you know. of them though. Everybody, I think, would be fun to go to Vegas with me.
Starting point is 00:51:44 I feel like we would get down, you know, we would accept the assignment of Vegas. Because I feel like you and I would be the ones who would be most likely to be out the latest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And get into some shenanics. That's what we're here for. Exactly. And you could walk around outside with a drink. We were literally like two or three years ago, John and I, after like a rejects gathering, went to a whole other part of Los Angeles to then go find.
Starting point is 00:52:09 a show that we didn't know the location of. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because we were trying to find double toasted. And then we were out to like hell of late, trying to figure out where the hell of this thing was. Trying to get into the double toasted after part. They came to LA. We walked around trying to find which bar they were in
Starting point is 00:52:25 because we didn't know what bar they were in. And eventually we found, eventually we found out where it was and it was mad close to where we were. But the thing, I don't know what other rejects would have had gone with us on that endeavor. Yeah, totally, totally. Maybe a Tara.
Starting point is 00:52:42 I feel like a Terra could be out for a good time. An adventure. Yeah, I feel like a Terra and Oroxie. I feel like Andrew would be fun, but Andrew would be regimented more. For sure. Because he's got, you know, like a discipline and like, you know, a schedule of things. And he's got his meals and stuff. And, you know, like, I think Andrew would have some fun, but I don't think he would be like wild and out.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Right. Yeah. I think, yeah, me, you and Tara would be down for some, like, off the cuff, like, impromptu sort of adventure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, Michael Tesler is just running the tables. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Killing the game.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Gang, which of the rejects would be best for your Vegas trip? Leave it down below. Thank you for joining us for yet another massive season of friends. This has been a joy.

I'm very surprised we didn't get even one, um, freaking, uh, uh, uh, the Elvis priest. Yeah. I'm surprised we didn't get one Elvis priest. Maybe in the beginning of season five, we will.
