I feel good, but also shell-shocks like yourself. I was not anticipating that. that Rachel would be the one who was pregnant. I did not see that coming. It was Quicksilver once said. Rachinent. Yeah, but it was sweet. It was funny.

It was chaotic. All in true friends fashion. And I'm happy that we've now officially met the bings. We have met the bings. We got binged. We got binged up. We met a lot of the bings. We even met dad.

Which, to clarify, I know, like, at the time, we didn't have. have all the language we do now. I'm not expecting the show to address the stuff. I'm just fascinated that they chose this. Yeah. And have a character who I guess is just dad. It is just Charles Bing, but who ostensibly is all the time living as ostensibly a woman.

I feel like it just goes beyond my understanding of drag because the show doesn't ever seem to stop. Yeah. It is like my my curiosity there about how they've drawn this character. But it was cool to see Alex's Arquette on screen. Freaking, yeah. Yeah, I didn't know who that was. Forgive my confusion in that episode. Yeah, Kathleen Turner has been in so much stuff over time.

Yeah, American actresses known for Deep Husky Voice, obviously. Wasn't she Ursula, I want to say? Freakin A. She's been in so much. Wait, go back for a second? I saw something. I thought I saw something that says. She's done tons and tons and tons of voice work. Oh, yeah.

She was Jessica Rabbit and who framed Roger Rabbit. Oh, well. Yeah, she played Charles Bing, the transgender father of Chandler. Okay, okay. Because it's that. Okay. It's like, yeah, because of all the stuff we know now, I'm like, I can't tell. Are they dead naming her?

Are they, you know, again, I don't want to dog whistle and blow up anybody's brain pan by acknowledging the existence of any of these conversations. But it's just like interesting to think about, I think. And also, Kathleen Turner, like, you know, veteran actress, cool that she decided to show up. opposite Morgan Fairchild as Chandler's parents. It's like some fun, yeah, stunt casting or, you know, like, I don't know, to have both of them and then to have Gary Oldman on this. Yeah, it was very cool. Very, very cool. No, I guess she wasn't Ursula.

I guess I'm just wrong about that. I'm just wrong. I'm a big old wrong, wrong, big old wrong, wrongerson. Getting your deep voice women mixed up. Yeah. All deep voiced women's. are the same woman to me. Anyway.

Yeah, man. This is a fun block of episodes, though. Yeah, like freaking we started with Denise Richards, right? Yeah. We had cousin Cassie. Who's cousin loving? Which was bonkers. It aired on my birthday. That's cool. Well done, April.

Hell yeah. Well done, April, O'Neill. Yeah. That was wild to have freaking everyone wants to get with cuz and also Joey trying to rig up an apparatus to make himself look uncircumcised yeah bonkers ass storyline that was hilarious the silly putty in the cold cuts and the whole like planet terror moment where it just falls right off and the thing uh apparently according to wikipedia the subplot where joey auditions for the role of an uncircumcised man was originally written for the one with Barry and Mindy's wedding. Oh, interesting.

The story was changed on the advice of network's censors who thought it was inappropriate. So that episode would have aired. Oh my God. So they tried to do that in 1996. That's funny. And they had to do it in 2001. That's amazing. Yeah, bonkers plotline.

Never would have expected that. Then we got Winona Ryder. I don't know what the thumbnail. for this video is going to be. I know. So many stars. So many stars. And I mean, one of them is definitely going to be

them kissing on the altar or whatever. But way to like overshadow the wedding with the freaking baby. No, shit. But yeah, freaking Winona Ryder and the whole like, did Rachel actually embellish this story? No, actually. This girl's just secretly in love with her.

It was very funny. The whole suits, the Batman's suit versus James Bond's suit. you know i think val kilmer is still a cool suit guy even if he didn't wear it in batman oh yeah but chandler's still won i'm glad he got the victory got the big w with james bond there yeah and also valcimer is still batman he's still wearing batman's suit yeah yeah like i feel like that still count and batman like valcimer as much as i don't ride for batman forever underrated bruce wayne a little bit yeah i like

his bruce wayne vibe i like that movie i watched when i rewatched it before the batman i was like this moving it's so bad it's like you know it's a little campy but it's the first one to treat bruce wayne like a character rather than an entity so that that was cool that's the one thing i like about that movie yeah i am in the the minority of people who actually has a better time watching batman and robin really i find batman forever kind of shrill and off-putting once has that you watched it it's been a while it's been a handful of years whenever we did that batman movie ranking Back in the day, Greg and I, we did a Batman movie ranking. And, yeah.

You rewatched all of them for it? We rewatched a bunch of them, yeah. Wow. And I did not rank that one very high. People like Batman forever, I die. I take a lot of elements. I'm like, these things should work, and they're just annoying. I'm like, I think it's great that Tommy Lee Jones is getting wacky and doing comedy.

But God, what is what is happening? And Chip Carrey's here. Everyone's just crazy. and I don't know. It's a wack. Everything everyone hates about Batman and Robin, I kind of feel about Batman forever in some ways. But anyway, side quest, side tangent.

Justice for the Val Kilmer, Bruce Wayne. And he's like trying to do good work in that movie. He's a philanthropist. He is. In that movie. Where's glasses? He's a slutty little glasses. Bloody little Bruce Wayne glasses that probably have like some kind of secret

digital shit that we didn't see then, but we will see in the future. We got another clip. I feel like these later seasons have had more clip shows, unless I'm forgetting that every single season at a clip show. I don't feel like every season is out of clip show. I remember we've watched one episode and in the trivia of like this is one of like

six clip shows in the yeah in the show one of the lowest rated episodes of the series. Damn! That's crazy. Wow. Wow dude I saw I was watching a video the other day about about a lot of things but he was talking about how like the Twin Peak

season two finale was like a particularly low rated like not many people people tuned in and it was like 10 million viewers or whatever. And then it was like cut to many years later and like flagship Game of Thrones, you know, upon airing, pulling in like two million viewers. And that seeming like it's crazy. So like you think back to like the times of more limited entertainment. And then you go 15.65 million viewers as a lowest rated episode is kind of bonkers. Kind of insane.

by now standards is kind of insane to think about. You think about that and like, wow, Friends was a cultural event. People tuned in every single week for this. Yeah. Around the world. And this is at a time where like 2001, I mean,

you have much more probably accessible cable capability. But even still, like, the way viewership has changed is wild to me. And yeah, so for just, yeah, for a figure like that to be lowest rated, Granted, it's like prime time telly, so I'm sure there's some other astronomically high numbers.

Every other episode would probably blow my mind by comparison. But, but yeah, I'm surprised by that. I mean, like, you know, it's fine. You know, I don't know. I feel like it's kind of a wash. Any clip episode being a low-rated episode, I feel like it's kind of a wash. Because, like, what are you going to say about the quality? Yeah.

Also, it's not even, like, new stuff. Like, the wraparound's fine. And, you know, writing vows as a wrap around for a clip show. Fine, sure. You know, that, that makes sense. But it was cool to me. Yeah, I wish in the moment I had had a more, like, visceral reaction because, like, Kathleen Turner is somebody who I am, who I'm, it's one of those things where it's like, I don't

have enough of the expertise to, like, pull her name and face together and the film mug together all out at the same time, you know? You know, when you know somebody's name, you know their face, you know their voice. Like, you know all different aspects of their... You know, the parts. just not the whole yeah exactly not enough to be like oh i would just recognize you if nobody told me or highlighted this or if i didn't know yeah i wonder if he's a bigger star in the 90s for her to turn around and people would be like oh shit i would have to imagine so because again like she's got voice i i know

exactly which episodes of king of the hill she's been on by these credits uh yeah i mean roger rabbit iconic obviously and she's done tons and tons of yeah like voice roles and different things over time and a movie my dad worked on. So look at that. Serial mom, Peggy Sue got married, romancing the Stone. See, these are also too, a lot of 80s and early 90s movies

that I didn't grow up with, which I would love to see, romancing the stone, Peggy Sue got married, serial mom. I've seen any of those. And, and two, because who's, oh, shit, who's Chandler's mom again?

You know, like both of his parents being these, like, yeah, veteran actresses is just a fun game. And I meant to call it out. They did the Bridgetton thing. They were playing Everlong by the foo fighters in the last scene.

There was so much going on, but underneath everything, you could hear the orchestral, just a string orchestral version of Everlong playing in the background, which is fun. I didn't get that. Good catch. Yeah, I meant to call it out, but yeah, and especially watching

Bridgeton recently, they do a lot of that. But yeah. But yeah, Joey wearing the underpants, the lady underpants. I'm surprised that it became nothing in terms of like he borrowed Rachel's underwear, but you know, whatever. And then, you know, it's cool that we got to see Daddy Bing. Hell in a handbasket, excellent drag name. A plus drag.

Hell in a hand basket. Love that. And yeah, to see her in her element, his, whatever their element. It was great. Yeah. I thought that was like the progressive episode, you know. is in his panties. Ross was flirting with a cop.

They went to go visit Chandler's dad. Well, I guess what also interests me about all of this is because also Alexis Arquette shows up, who is, you know, like a notable... I believe Alexis Arquette has passed since... But a notable, you know, trans figure. So, granted, again, the whole of a, you know, massive flagship sitcom

is not going to shift on you. But it certainly seemed like to include her and a featured little, you know, like extra part. And to have this story involved at all seemed like, I don't know, there must have been some care to... That's one of the trouble. Like, you know, you hear people talk in hindsight about friends and what's aged better than what else.

And, you know, the sort of like... You know, a lot of the writers had to be gay and queer and other things. So, like, I'm just curious. It's just something that's interesting to note. Totally. Yeah. And again, to get such great talent to be both of Chandler's parents and to have them. I wish we could see them play more off each other, honestly.

Yeah. Yeah. We get to see all the bings together. And I feel like they've brought Morgan Fairchild back enough times. Like, they should be able to friggin' bring back. Has there been like two episodes, something like that, up to this point, two or three? I feel like we've seen her a handful of times, if I'm not mistaken. in five episodes.

Because there's one she kissed Ross. I remember that. Maybe some of those we haven't seen yet. Maybe. Who knows? But I feel like we've seen her at least two or three times up till now. At minimum, Aaron.

Totally. But hell yeah. It was a nice wedding. It was a nice wedding. You know, not the most intense in terms of like the stakes. Intense stakes contextually. But I wasn't like,

oh, damn, Chandler's definitely. only going to leave or some crazy. It's actually like I, it didn't get as bad as I expected, which in some ways is nice. Yeah, it was pretty tame. I was like, okay. Yeah, which fits them, which is sort of like, I'm glad. Like, yeah, it makes sense that Chandler would freak out. It did seem interesting that like we have this stuff happening on the altar and Monica's like, you're freaking going to leave and stuff and what?

And like, we, it's like it, the truth, you know, like the situation outs, but at the same time, it's like, okay. I feel like she'd have feelings about this. And I feel like we would see that sometime, but I don't know. Maybe they'll dress it in the next season. Like, what do you mean you're going to leave? Yeah, or something. Yeah?

I don't know. It's interesting, but it was still a really sweet wedding. I really liked the way the vow was, you know, and Joey coming in the last minute and the sort of, again, I'm a little surprised that they were cool rolling with how loose Joey was about it. But it was also very charming that they made it, you know, his role was very sweet, heartfelt, but also very joey. Yeah, I feel like knowing Monica, in retrospect,

like, after the fact, he'd have been pissed that he shut up so late. I feel like there's so much mess in the actual situation of the wedding, and then the actual wedding itself almost feels like a short-lived thing. Yeah, right? Weirdly. Yeah. I feel like their proposal hit more, you know, like all in compassively. It was more emotional.

And it felt like, oh, my God. It was like at the crescendo. of like these huge stakes where you're like, holy shit, everything's going wrong. You know, like this looks like it's not going to happen actually,

and maybe, and we've seen stuff happen with Ross and Rachel, obviously, to make us afraid. And so, yeah, like, it's weird. I'm not, like, upset, and I'm not like,

ah, this is bad, but at the same time, I am just, it's interesting, you know, and it's cool because, again, very star-studded.

There are definitely a lot of remarkable things about this swathed episodes. Yeah, it wasn't like this triumphant thing of like, We made it, guys.

We suffered through adversity. We finally were here. It was more like, oh, yeah, you know, you deserve that. That's nice. Yeah. I liked it. Yeah, I wasn't, like, emotionally moved.

I wanted to be, like, swept up in it. I was, I was overcome with, you know, when the proposal happened, like you said. But, yeah, I would have liked to have, that to have been, like, a bigger deal, a bigger ordeal. And then the idea of, like, them being pregnant. Like, I like the mechanic of that. I saw that kind of on the horizon. I was like, cool, the whole, like, I was freaking out about all these big abstract things, but then I thought like, oh, you know, yeah, the whole like,

well, something can't fit in a little tiny, cute ones. You like, this can't be that scary. Like, I thought that was really nice. And I, it's weird. I don't know. I'm just like, the pregnancy thing becomes such a big thing. It's like, it's just once you drop that in, it's naturally going to rest in your mind is this big set of stakes.

and then they naturally use it for Chandler's development. But then it's not their thing at all, which is like a good twist. But again, I feel like the, yeah, the ending of the season could have done more to spotlight or to like really center the wedding. Because like it feel like there was a lot of the hijinks and there was like a lot of shit happening to get to the wedding.

And there was a lot of stuff happening. There was like obstacles in getting there, but not like actually a lot of. lot of tension. Yeah, because the stuff with Joey was happening off to the side and it felt like a, oh, I'm like, all right, I guess this is just an obstacle. But yeah, it didn't see yet. You didn't feel like the stakes of the situation.

And because even like, let's even go back to the Ross's wedding, you felt the stakes of Rachel's flying across the pond for this. What the hell's going to happen? You know, all these different pieces are moving. And then you're like, what, like everything's fine. Like they made it. They're here. and Ross is the thing.

You're like, oh my God. I was, I was a wild wedding. You really feel like you were there for some degree of it. Like that church, that blown out church that they're in, has a lot of aura. And yeah, I don't know. Like, it's weird. Even getting ready.

Yeah, like something was a little hinky about this in some ways, just given what type of event it is. And again, it's weird because it's like these are nitpicks. These are critiques. I'm not mad, though. Yeah, I liked it. I was like, oh, that was nice, but it wasn't like, but I wanted to love it and I just liked it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's like, I think they had all the stuff they needed. You could do different stuff, but I feel like they had a lot of what they needed. I think just like the proportionality and the tonality was like a little off. And too, with the whole Joey thing, I appreciate the stakes and the, we got Gary Oldman and he's being drunk. but like we didn't actually spend a lot of time with drunk gary oldman and then he finally figures that out by just like getting an out and then taking the out and it's fine and like i feel like the writers just kind of like left themselves a rip cord instead of like really solving that in a cheeky or clever or you know and also fired way is is drunk care woman in the car

you know what also kind of took away from it was i felt like you know this is the friends in there you know it's it was in a way you know still in line with them but i feel like the jokes of it kind of undercut the tension of the the feeling of them getting married there were times where yeah when especially doing taking time to do the whole monica noticing them being like what chanel around off like it started to feel like are they putting jokes here because they don't want this to get to schmaltzy or something but it's not in danger i don't think of doing that like it's weird I couldn't tell exactly what was happening with, like, how much emotional swell we were supposed to be getting. And obviously, like, you know, golly, why am I blanking on everyone's name?

Courtney Cox and Matthew Perry are very committed, you know, and everyone is really, you know, they brought the emotionality. But, yeah, I was like, I should be crying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I should be crying. And I'm just not, I'm not quite, yeah. It's like I liked it. I didn't love it, but still very fun and enjoyable. But let's jump into some questions.

I think we've said the thing. And I'm happy for them nonetheless. Like, it's that. It's like you still get to be very pleased for them. But, you know, in terms of like iconic moments, I feel like a lot of the iconic stuff about the Monica Chandler wedding is not as much about either of them. And I would have liked it if they had both spoken from the heart because, like, Monica read her thing and Chandler was like, I don't need that.

Then his was like more sincere. It seems like, I don't know, I don't know if they did it like it was, did they not, it felt not like the final draft or something. I couldn't tell. Oh, what Chandler was saying? No, no, no. Just the episode. Like, it's weird because I liked what Chandler said and did. And I liked the function of that.

I like the choice of that. And I liked what Monica's vows were too. I like that a lot. But I could also see your point there. It's like if you had some degree of conflict where she finds out. right beforehand, and then they both speak from the heart or something. Maybe you could have used those elements a little

more effectively. But all... Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah. It's interesting. Let's get into some questions. I'll thank you guys for chiming in on another Friends Day. Awesome Joe, movie reviews.

Happy Awesome Friends Day. I understand that Chandler does have some resentment towards his dad for the life directions he has taken, but I think he would have considered to at least say hello or introduce Monica to him. I too have some resentment towards my father, but he's still your dad, no matter

what. I'm glad at least here, I'm glad at least here they, this time visited, introduced, and invited him to the wedding. Your thoughts? Please stay awesome. I think relationships with

parental figures are a case-by-case basis. You know, I feel like with the case of Chandler, what they've told us, it seemed like, you know, played a lot into his shame about his own sexual identity or like being how he was perceived and then just being embarrassed by his dad and maybe what that could have cost for him. But I think when it comes to the concept in general of including your parents in your wedding, I feel like that really depends on, you know, because whatever. This is hypothetical. What if his dad was extremely abusive? and like didn't show up for him and all this stuff. Granted, that's not the case with his dad,

but I don't know. I feel like it's a case by case sort of thing. But, yeah, I have to imagine my head canons is more about Chandler and Chandler's dad's relationship that we don't see your talk about. That would play into why he doesn't talk to him or introduce him to Monica. But yeah, I don't know. Oh, too. It's interesting.

I thought they could have. I really liked the interesting. I think the intro was really nice. I really liked getting to see her in her element, him, dad, whatever. In Kathleen Turner, in that element, it was really fun, and the emotional kind of tension of doing the show, but also realizing the situation and kind of having these real moments, but keeping the show moving and kind of,

I thought that was really lovely. I did kind of maybe wish for just a little bit of a deeper, I don't know, some greater reckoning with the past or something. Again, I don't feel like it is beyond the pale of expectations for friends to occasionally have a

heart to heart, you know, with an important character like that. Granted, it usually happens between the friends or a significant other, but I feel like in this case, you know, I really liked, I can see the functionality and I really do like the

version we get in that, like, you see that, all this stuff that's built over time has kind of washed away in the moment and how Chandler invites him to come is really sweet. Because, yeah, I wish I feel like though it was sweet, we, I guess, undercut some of the drama with its, with its brevity, because Chandler's like, well, they might not be happy to see me because of, you know, I've ignored their messages for the next number of years. But then you really sit not mad at all. So I was like, oh. Yeah, and there's enough in there that you could, you can, you can. head cannon at yourself. But yeah, it's like it's a little bit, it just leaves you

wanting more in a way that isn't the ideal way. In this particular case, not the bad way. I would say that yeah, it's more to your direct question. I mean, yeah, I think it's a case-by-case basis absolutely because like some dads I think you have absolutely every right to not

have anything to do with depending on what they've done. I thought that what they bring up about the debate was interesting and I wanted more of that, which was like, you know, He showed up to every one of my games, dressed up like some kind of old Hollywood starlet, and then Monica's, you know, reframe on that being like, hey, it sounds like a really supportive parent who cared to be at all your games. And so that's something where I'm like, okay, cool. So like, that's an interesting nuance because it's like, yeah, you probably maybe didn't open yourself up to the support you were receiving because of the other factors involved.

But also, you know, as a parent maybe you should be sensitive to and aware of how your presentation. again everyone should be able to do and be how they are and be as they want to to be free also part of the conversation but at the same time if your kid is having a big problem with this and you're part of their life there's just something to talk about there

and I thought we could have talked about some of that so as it was I thought it was very sweet but yeah I am glad at least here that as you said the efforts were taken you know I get as they drew it wide

I don't know. It seemed realistic enough that Chandler wouldn't have said anything if they had drawn it that like, oh, we don't talk much, but I talked to him every Christmas or something.

Like, I would believe that too. Yeah. But this felt relatively believable. And, yeah, you know, there's some amount of resentment that can be worked past, and I'm glad they did.

I just would like to see a little bit more of the work. But good, good, interesting wrinkle to friends I never would have expected. So. Friends, what is your relationship with eating healthy right now? As many of you know, last year for me, it was all about aesthetics.

In all the seasons of channel is indulging to his dad Did you ever expect it to be Jessica Rabbit? I love this storyline so much. Kathleen Turner is such a bombshell. Do you all agree Monica did the right thing, forcing Chandler to make the trip to see his dad? I really wish that this is one of those occasions where it's very clear to you.

We're like, damn, man, I wish I really clocked that in the moment. Because it's really cool the reveal that it should be. And especially putting the, oh shit, she is Jessica Rabbit, isn't she? and like that iconic voice. I was sitting there going like, I know I know this voice. I know this is an iconic person and she just hasn't been in my random access memory.

So I'm sorry if our reaction there was less than, you know, satisfying in that regard. But yeah, absolutely. I really like the storyline too in spirit. And I, as we've been saying here, we'd love to see more. I think Monica, it's hard, man. I think it worked out well,

and I think there's an argument for her doing what she did, but I don't think it's a 100% clean thing to do. I think there's a fairly equal argument for why you wouldn't want to force this upon anybody. But again, the way it came together, it does seem like he ultimately agreed to go. So fine. I think under these circumstances, it worked out. So I guess under these circumstances, it worked as a good choice. Yeah, under these circumstances, you know,

it turned out okay, but I feel like with as much talk we've had about Chandler's dad and how apprehensive he's been about having a relationship, I don't know, I feel like in another show that would have been a bigger deal, but because you don't have time to really kind of mind the drama of the scenario, first, you know, the debate about going in the first place and then once you're there what happens and you know what that interaction is like um but i think for this show it did you know it turned out fine i think in real life probably not you know maybe respect your partner's wishes but for uh for what happened here i think it was probably a good thing for chanler to see their dad yeah absolutely you know what it is i think there's also

there's something for me a little bit weird in the transition of like for a while it feels like the wedding is far away and then all of a sudden it feels like it's oh my god it's like these next two episodes

you know like and yeah I'm just I don't know I'm fascinated as to how the how they beat out the overall season you know plot elements

and then distributed them over episodes because I feel like up till now we've oft praised friends for having like a pretty decent grip on the serial storylines and and they have done some good serial storytelling in the monica and chandler

romance saga but it does feel like the yeah the transition from like the wedding is coming in a little while to like it's here uh it's just yeah it felt real real fast and i don't know if it's just virtue of the fact of the way we watched these or what but it was just interesting uh to note but uh hell yeah jessica rabbit and i really freaking hope she comes back because, yeah, there's just so much, that was just yeah, the whole thing there is just like a fun,

unexpected surprise and it kind of reminds me of King of the Hill. So anyway, Nicky Sonorissa. Friends, it's my favorite day of the week. Happy Friends Day, Jaron. Oh, sucks. I'm gonna pretend that little, the horn emoji

is doing the ham horn. All right, what's the best Vegas show you've ever been to? And or what's a show that's on your list to see. My favorite was a vampire perlesque show called Bight that ran from 2004 to 2013.

It was a good time. That sounds awesome. I would love to go to a vampire cabaret. Ooh. I mean, I've been to a vampire cabaret, but a Vegas one would be pretty sick. Ooh, I, uh... You're freaking sick, yes.

Freckin' sick, yes. My God. The only if you guys get that reference, shout out. Yeah. Um, I've only been to Vegas as an adult a couple of times. Same. And the one thing I do remember is I saw Pennant Teller. That was very fun to a Pennanteller show.

But I've always wanted to go see the Blue Man group. Nice. I never had the chance to. That would be pretty sick. Uh, I went, uh, once I was taken on a trip to Vegas and we saw a group called Recycled Percussion. Oh. That had, uh, one.

I think it was like America's Got Talent or something, but they had this whole, percussion show, but it was all done with different found objects and crazy acrobatics and stuff, but it was pretty fun. I saw Cirque de Soleil there, what was it called? Just like, ca, or something like that.

It wasn't love. I want to see love. I would love to see, what's the erotic one? Zumanity. Zumanity? Oh, there's like a, yeah, it's more sensual. Cirque du Soleil after dark. Also, though,

I mean, I do recall in one of my brief Vegas sojourns going to also one of those just like classic Vegas variety shows where you wind up at some yeah little divey theater you get

you know yeah there's like you know some those is some magician guys hosting the show and then yeah there'll be like some old showgirl doing a number and then there'll be like a guy doing five minutes of comedy and then some juggling dudes and then a guy swallowing the swords and that's classic

the guy doing freaking you know like a variety shows, some kind of like, yeah, revolving door of talents and glam. Did you see the girl get sawed in half with the magician? I don't know if in that show, I'm trying to think. But that's a classic Vegas thing, too. Yeah, 100% is a classic Vegas thing.

Yeah, it's a work on sick, yeah. We'll have to go and see one of the Magic Mike shows, though. Definitely. That's what we'll have to do. But leave us your favorite Vegas thing to do. I got to get a, yeah, It's like I've not been crunk in Vegas and I've not had like a yeah an adult Vegas trip in a long time

one of these days but it is not this day Jay Rushden take it away Jay rushed into the room to ask a question what do you guys watch Joe is World War I film and who is your favorite guest star

of this current season God that's hard who we had we've had a lot of guest stars as yeah yeah I don't know Bring it back. We had Winona Ryder.

We had Denise Richards. We had Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon was great. And it was a quality guest star. Damn, that's hard. Did we know? Reese was an earlier season. Yeah, that was season six.

We had Kristen Davis, who is on Sex and the City. It was pretty cool to see her. Hank Azaria came back. That counts. Love Hank Azaria. Love him. the most contextually. Jason Alexander, very fun.

Crossover with Seinfeld, which I've never seen a lick of. Yeah, Susan Sarandon was pretty epic. I will say... Gabriel Union was fun. Gabriel Union was fun. I wish she had more to do. I was really excited for her to get to play,

and I don't feel like they let her play all that much. No, she's just the object of their affection. Yeah, she's kind of there. She's cooler than them in the situations and whatnot, but yeah, not much to do there. Denise Richards, most disturbing guest star, for sure, contextually speaking. I'm giving everybody their awards.

I think Winona Ryder got the most interesting things to do in terms of having a whole ass plot line and being very game to, yeah, like, have a... I don't know, some guests are playing more of a character than others, I would argue. And, like, I feel like Winona Ryder's one was like, I feel like this is a character of this universe as well as a celebrity cameo. Or some people you're like, oh, celebrity cameo.

That was out to Gary Oldman, too, completing the surprise Bram Stoker's Dracula vague sort of reunion this season between him and Winona Ryder. You know, very fun to watch him play as well and get, you know, silly about the craft. And to do a two-parter, no less, where the second half he's like just kicking an act and drunk. It's fascinating. Definitely a good what-the-W-T-F cameo. Kathleen Turner, I think, like, just is just an awesome twist. And again, the more I'm, like, contextualizing in my mind, the more I love this payoff over time,

because we have made so much out of it. And if I was in that moment, I would have been, yeah, losing my mind. So I think, like, crown jewel to that one, Gary Oldman, most unexpected, I would say. Definitely a fun one. Would be very curious to know how they got to that. Yeah, it's a toss-up. Fave is a toss-up between Susan Sarand and Winona Ryder.

and Kelly Turner's so fun to watch. Like when she's doing the show, you're like, I, yeah, man, I get it. Just the rhythm, the rasp, the, the, the ris. Yes, yeah. I'm like, which of Chandler's parents would you let chat you up? I don't know, man. It's a tough choice.

I've been my favorite cameo of the season. You know who'd be a cool one? We've not seen? Freaking, um. Yes. Travel back in time. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

fucking sexy ass. Friken Sechia. Zendaya. Zendaya, yeah. Tom Holland. Oh, freaking Spider-Man. Yes. Timothy Calabay.

No, who you got here? Surprise. Squintraveena Reeve hasn't popped up yet. That would be sick. Holy crap. How will we not get a Sigourney friend? Hey, we've got three more seasons. We never know.

We do. And on Kathleen Turner's IMDB page, it is playing a clip from friends right now. Heck yeah. That's how you know. All right. Well, anything else to say? uh, Susan Sarandon and and Winona right are tied for me.

Those are my favorites of the season. Okay. Hell yeah. Yeah. Who wins for you? I'm gonna say for just like pure iconic and for like the pure payoff factor. I go Kathleen Turner.

I am sad that there is like stuff that's left on the table at the moment. So I don't know. It might be Susan Sarandon. I don't know. It's hard. I've like maybe we don't know. I can't pick, man. It's a lot.

Winona Ryder fits the best into just like, well, no, but it's Chandler's my, no, it's Kathleen Turner. Winona Ryder. But they both do, I don't know, they both fit well into the universe of the show, and they both make sense to be only a one-off. Actually, I guess Winona Ryder makes more sense to be a one-off. I would like to see Susan Serendan again as a surprise, whereas I don't think you could say that as much. about I don't need that with Renowned Ryder but if like, not that would be sad but like I kind of wish that

now I want to say Zagorne Reader but yeah Susan Saranan will show back up. Susan Saranan should show back up and she should be with Joey and that should be how the show ends. Don't make me rank these is hard. It's one of the three of them. Jay Rush and asked it. Kathleen Turner, number one. That two

is either of the other two. What do you already want for me? Right. It's not what friends do to each other. You don't make me choose between my friends? Don't make me chose. They took time out of their busy schedules to come play on TV. I know.

After being in so many films. All the films. All the films. It's only good ones. We got married. We didn't leave the altar. We are not having a baby. But maybe Rachel is. We'll see about that.

Yeah, we said the right names. Richard's baby. Wouldn't that be crazy? That would be insane. If Rachel and Richard got together and had a baby, because he didn't want to do that. Baby comes out with a little mustache, too. And then Chandler next season is like, Monica,

we have this baby and then Monica's like we're not having a baby I don't want him anymore that would be crazy then everything is completely different the status quo is changed flipped on its head and nothing will ever be the same again nope all right gang I'm gonna go fall over and
