email us: bestfriendsclubpodcast@gmail.com instagram: @BestFriendsClubPodcast
If you know it through a wall, then you're our kinda people! Come glide through Miss Congeniality with us and Maurice Micklewhite.
10 Things I Hate About You! Both of us think this is our top 3 movies. We'll see you at Bogey Lowenstein's party.
Drive Me Crazy, the Melissa Joan Heart movie named after a Britney Spears song, where neighbors become more than friends in perfect 90s high school fashion. Ashley's never seen this one, so join in for her first opinions!
And We're dancin'... and we feel alright! Join us for one of our personal favorites from the year 2000, Center Stage!
Renee and Ashley are back! Join us as we recap all of our fave movies from the 90s and early 2000s. First up - Can't Hardly Wait! Don't be a tampon, and give this one a listen.
From the two best friends that brought you Best Friends Club, we are proud to present Millennial Movie Night! Same insane opinions about old movies. Join us this summer for our first episode!
We know that we have been leading up to this moment for the past 10 seasons but it somehow still doesn't feel real and we don't feel ready! Ross isn't ready to let Rachel actually go, Monica & Chandler bring home a big surprise, and everyone else is supporting in this episode (let's just be honest). Join us...for one final time!
Rachel is going to say some goodbye stuff to everyone.... except Ross. And Ross has feelings about it. Erica gets some gnarly heartburn that may be more serious than she thinks. Steph guest hosts with us again! Can you believe next week is the finale?!
Join us with special guest host, Steph! Joey! It's Estelle! (from the afterlife) Chandler and Monica are the first people in history hoping the Hitlers move in next door, since it's a better alternative to Janice. Ross tries to manage Rachel's life and career without her permission and we have some feelings about it!!!!
We meet a new FRIEND, Princess Consuela. And Rachel has a meeting with Gukky, Ross is up for Ten Year, and Joey makes friends with a little girl ghost.
French it up! Phoebe tries to teach Joey French (me floo!), and is a lot more patient than Ashley would be. Rachel's dad has a heart attack, so Ross goes and makes everything worse for everyone, kinda. Erica visits NYC and we find out is Chandler & Monica's baby is the biological son of the high school quarterback or killed his dad with a shovel. Oh, and there are spoilers for It Ends With Us, je suis desoles.
Phoebe and Mike get married! But on Monica's schedule. Have opinions on your own time. The boys don't know what they're doing for the wedding, but don't wonder that until the rehearsal.... which sounds typical. We get teary at the sound of the steal drums (and at Marjorie's overwhelming scent). MAZEL TOV!
Literally everything about this episode is perfect. Paper, snow, a ghost!! Let me get an ETA on the peepees. Way, No Way! You were my midnight mystery kisser?! (We promise we don't just quote the whole episode, even though we really, really wanted to. We do play a round of Pyramid ourselves though!). Enough teasin', now it's time for the pleasin'!
This episode was recorded before the tragic passing of our much loved friend, Matthew PerryChandler gets caught! But not caught doing what they think he's doing for 45 minutes in a house in Westchester. We talk about moving, and not so much about this being a clips show ;)
Phoebe shows off one of her non-main cast friends, and Joey shows off his inability to share food (unless it's yours and looks tastier than his coulis). We still think Ross should have got the nice leather jacket, even if it does say "Boys will be boys" in rhinestones - what? they will be! And finally... Doctor Chandler and Reverend Monica fly to Ohio to get themselves a baby!
Everyone is late! Emma is winning, Monica is Losing, and I think the Rangers ended in a tie. It's our last Thanksgiving!!!!!! :(
Ross and Rachel take Emma to the playground where they both face their own fears - Rachel of swings and Ross of spiders (unsurprisingly, I'm with Ross on this one). Phoebe and Mike start planning their wedding, then unpinning it and donating to charity, then undonating and planning again, then spiralling. Finally, Chandler and Monica are getting appraised (?) by the adoption agency rep, and Joey senses danger - Bert, Bert, Bert!
Ross is stuck between a rock and a hard place with Benji and Charlie, Phoebe has to decide who to gift Gladys to, and Joey does not get booked in a commercial by Chandler, despite how good he looks in shiny lip balm. (Apologies if the previous file did not work for you - issues should be resolved now!)
Salutations to our fellow enthusiasts of the 90s classic sitcom about comrades! We used the same thesaurus Joey used for his referral letter to the adoption agency for Chandler & Monica. Smart! Rachel's (favorite?) sister Amy comes over, breaks up with her old man boyfriend, and puts holes in the baby's ears. And while one couple is breaking up, another are... well... Phoebe and Mike keep having some jumbotron misfires.
Emma is this many years old - ::holds up one finger:: - and there is a cake, just the wrong one. But she is still ASLEEEEP for her own party (seems to me a Gellar problem). Monica and Chandler are NOT in Vermont, Phoebe is writing her worst song yet, Joey is doing moving dramatic readings, and Jack and Judy are leaving the worlds most depressing birthday message.
Rachel & Joey have their first official date, not counting the fajitas from last episode, and it doesn't go so well when they can't seem to power through. Ross has a few mishaps at multiple tanning salons and ends up a 12 on front and a 0 on back. And Amanda Bufamontieze from Yonkers comes dancing right back into Monica & Phoebe's lives, because she's scrappy like Monica.
Ross is fine, we're fine, everything is FINE. Ross tries to digest the news of Joey and Rachel over Fajitas and flan for three. Phoebe catches up with Frank Jr and the triplets. Monica and Chandler learn to always tell your children they are adopted so strangers don't do it for you.
Our last day in Barbados but the repercussions will carry on for episodes to come! Phoebe, Chandler, and Monica are on the listening side of the wall, capturing some partner-swapping in action. Both groups agree they should talk to the other person first before anything more happens. Ross does this on the plane, Joey not so much. Monica gets a treat for the eyes and the ears! Phoebe does Mike the favour of breaking up with Precious for him - you're welcome! Aaaaaand Ross walks in on Rachel & Joey kissing, oopsie.
It's the end of season 9!!!! The gang is in Barbados (can you say Barbados?) to listen to Ross give the keynote speech at a polentology convention. Unfortunately, it rains the whole time so they have to keep busy inside. They do so by - downloading viruses to Ross's computer, crashing a pharmaceutical convention, meddling, table tennis, playing hide & seek from the conference organisers, then kissing! There's also two proposals and 6 partner swaps before we're done. And we're nearly in season 10!!!
Ashley is still here! Hopefully she never leaves. Chandler tracks down a nice sperm donor in the form of John Stamos, Ross makes someone ELSE fall asleeeeeeeep for once, Rachel accidentally lets it slip on a shopping trip that she has feelings for Joey, and Phoebe doesn't have time for any of these childish games, she has to win 'who is more over who' against Mike!
Chandler and Monica get some fertility tests from Dr Connoley, Charlie and Joey start their new romance, and Rachel gets a lecture from Phoebe and a corporate greed massage from "Ikea". Oh also - RENEE AND ASHLEY ARE TOGETHER!
We meet the beautiful Charlie Wheeler, Rachel is trying to work out her crush on Joey, and Joey tries to distract the crew with a play while he throws his annual Soap Opera Roof Party. And we answer the age old question - WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME?
Rachel watches Joey shooting DOOL, and something starts going on in her subconscious because then she dreams of kissing him. Monica & Phoebe have a little feud over the music & garlic content at and outside of Javu. Chandler & Ross have a romantic weekend in Vermont stealing all the amenities.
The gang all drives to the next state over (which state is that, depends on who you ask) to buy a batch of lotto tickets. Chandler waits on his new career fate. Monica is sneaky. Phoebe encounters a scary pigeon. Rachel and Ross have a little baby genius on their hands.
A time before social media, when college alumni sites meant something! Unless you're Ross and no one cares you're dead. Or you're Chandler, and the phone's been ringing off the hook! Joey plots to get Huggsy back from Emma's chubby little hands, and Monica tries to help keep Phoebe's chubby little hands off of Mike.
Monica and Chandler just realized they need a budget, and they go to Joey for help. Rachel baby proofs the apartment (with a little help from a handyman). Phoebe and Mike are moving in together! Ross, The Divorce Force ™ gives Phoebe some advice when they do not actually hear wedding bells.
Give us your money punk! Or your comic books, or your backpack that says Geology Rocks. We'll add it to our bag of Crap From The Street. After that, we can roll our way into childhood obesity with Chandler's new internship and cool kicks. We'll round it off with unlimited nights and weekends and a whole lotta vertical energy at Joey's audition with Jeff Goldblum!
Ross and Rachel are not on a break and not really upset about last week, so Joey and Phoebe set them up on the worst blind dates. Monica and Chandler have a moral quandary about having S-E-X in front of the B-A-B-I-E!
Lucky for no one, Renee and Ashley do some singing in this episode, keeping Monica company! Monica shows her best side off when she sings on stage at Mike's piano bar. Ross does not show his best side off when he brings home a crazy lady in his efforts to show Rachel he's fiiiiiiiiiine. Rachel isn't doing her best either, immediately calling in sick and lying to her employer and coworker. We've called in sick for less!
We talk all about Phoebe's rat babies and our rat babies. Rachel accidentally has all of the birthday parties and kisses jerks on her balcony even though there were no lights! Ross and Chandler try to keep Hot Nanny away from Joey.
You know how we never have any idea what we're talking about when we talk about pregnancy and babies (amongst other things?) Well this week we fix that with our guest host Anais in Nashville! We make up slogans for random items because according to Chandler, that's what advertising is, we talk about our own best & worst acting jobs, and Anais speaks French! Must more attractive than when Joey, Renee, or Ashley try to speak French.
Aka the one where Chandler quits aka the one where Renee Quits and Ashley has never really quit. Not much happens in this episode and we still managed to talk for 50 minutes. ENJOY!
Hope everyone’s been practicing the art of seduction and memorized the difference between and lager? Good! Because in this episode, Monica and Chandler trick Joey so they can have a little alone time, Phoebe and Rachel have a girls night out indeed, and Mike plays with the boundaries of normal social situations in the land where time stands still.
Rachel's self-proclaimed favorite sister comes to visit for Thanksgiving after her sushi plans fall through, and sadly she ends up single and without a baby to raise. Joey learns how to lie from Phoebe without mentioning raccoons. Crazy Plate Lady lets everyone use her wedding china but it is not without restrictions. Rachel and Ross lay out their 18 page front and back plan for Emma if they die (knock on wood).
Phoebe is going to meet the parents for the first time ever! Unfortunately, it's snooty rich people and all her good stories involve pimp spit, prison, and punching people. Joey and Chandler try their hand at real estate investing but it happens to be at Richard Burke's apartment which happens to feature a lil VHS tape named Monica. And Ross & Rachel get Emma to laugh but unfortunately that girl is all about the ass!
Ross is uncomfortable getting in touch with Sandy's feminine side, Phoebe makes one step forward and two steps back with Mike and a certain man from Minsk, and Monica and Chandler decide what's funny in a Long distance relationship.
Phoebe just wants to have a fancy pants birthday dinner with her friends but they ruin that for her. Chandler smokes and Monica gets forbiddy, Ross locks himself and Rachel out of the house, and Judy is getting wine drunk. Joey is really the only shining light in this episode!
Chandler is weirder than we thought in the bedroom, Ross can't leave well enough alone and creates an entire fake serious relationship for Phoebe to tell Mike about. Paul Rudd steals the show as usual@!
How do you spell it, pediatrician or paediatrician like my NZ autocorrect keeps insisting upon? Well it doesn't matter, you'll either get fired for calling at all hours of the night and day or causing a scene by scaring all the kids in the waiting room. We hope you didn't fall asleep and get re-assigned to Tulsa, because turns out Monica isn't coming with you, if Nancy has anything to say about it. Also, Joey pulls a real Hail Mary which does not work, then does work but only because of the Paul Rudd charm!
The One Where Emma Cries! Sleepy Sleeperson gets himself banished to Tulsa. Phoebe advises Rachel not to wake Emma up, and thankfully Monica saves the day as #SuperAunt. Joey and Ross finally hash out their differences, and we all finally learn what Ross' name is short for.
Rachel has finally had the baby, stealing Monica's baby name since her teen years (ugh), and now we stand idly by and observe the painful experience of Rachel getting proposed to 0 times but broken up with twice, somehow?! We'd prefer that happen to us then getting walked in on by anyone's dad thank you very much!
RACHEL HAS HER BABY! Monica steals her name. Joey kneels down at the wrong time. Phoebe gaslights a handsome stranger. Chandler sees he's ex. Ross does.... kinda nothing. It's allllllll happening!
Join us in a semi-private room for Part 1 of the baby-having! Ross and Rachel are having a baby but not having a conversation about whether they'll be together or not. Monica & Chandler are starting their baby-making journey, right here in this hospital. Joey helps Phoebe swindle a could-be lover into spilling intimate secrets about his life...the healthy start to any relationship. While we wait for Rachel to dilate, 4 women come and go first and we ask... who would you rather share a semi-private room with?
It's (almost) baby time! It's Rachel's due date but we know that doesn't mean anything. Will Ross ever stop annoying her? Meanwhile, Chandler fell ASLEEEEEP at Joey's premier, and Phoebe and Monica learn the joys of odds making.
A palaeontologist who works out? Wow, you're like Indiana Jones... is all you need to say to successfully hit on Ross AND piss off Rachel, who is being unreasonable but that's ok because Ross is being selfless for once. Monica is being very much herself by acing a cooking for beginners class when she meant to prove a snooty food critic wrong. And Chandler is also being very much himself but, thanks to Phoebe, not TOO himself.
Monica and Phoebe throw Rachel but forget to invite the most important woman in the world, the grandmother of the baby (both grandmothers, now that we think about it), Rachel feels like a baby dummy, and Joey ropes Ross and Chandler into getting Bamboozled.
Turning a not-so-loved clips show into maybe our favorite episode ever?! YOU all contributed to this podcast with your favorite Joey moments. It was so fun for us to hear them all, and we hope you enjoy hearing from everyone!
We're not in Massapequa, but we are TOGETHER! We visit the Gellar's 35th Wedding Anniversary in event room C, and we took a mental picture - CLICK! Ross and Rachel lie about their wedding and the all star guest list, Phoebe is trying not to punch Parker in the face, and Monica is trying to make everyone cry.
Want to let dried herbs decide your life? Phoebe says OK LETS DO IT, because she likes to party. Joey and Rachel figure out how to get some extra maternity leave AND make their "I love you" "I don't" situation less awkward. And Ross is willing to get a restraining order to get his faded salmon shirt back.
Joey tells Rachel what he just told Ross after Ross told Joey he had to tell Rachel what he told him. Phoebe tells Monica she meets her soul mate and Chandler tells them what he thinks about it. Ashley tells us everyone she is currently annoyed with.
It's Valentine's Day! Monica tries to give Chandler a sexy Valentine's Day gift but wind up giving everyone nightmares. Rachel moves in with Ross and before you ask, no, he hasn't told Mona because he's a doofus. She finds out because of course she would, and breaks up with him. Joey breaks the dog with his blue mood, and ends it by confessing to Ross. Ashley & Renee also recount their own best and worst Valentine's Days. Happy V-Day, we love you all!
Phoebe realizes that Monica gets massaged by other people, and also that she makes sexual noises when getting massaged, Chandler discovers that Monica has Richard OR a secret closet full of bugs, Joey and Rachel go to the hospital for those braxton thingies, and Ross regularly forgets he has a girlfriend.
Get ready to melt all your troubles away in this glorious hot bath of an episode! We've got Joey and the rules, Monica misreading the situation and hanging poor Phoebe out to dry a bit, Chandler displaying some very poor bath etiquette, and Ross and Rachel giving us all lots of great baby name ideas! Just please don't name your baby Phoebo.
Joey takes Rachel on a non roommate date, Ross gets to teach an advanced class at Na Ya U, and Phoebe gets Monica and Chandler a giant arcade game as a wedding gift.
Mona and the pretzel pervert aka Ross talk about where they are or are not going, Rachel is erotically charged, and Chandler stars in "It's a wonderful life, with lap dances".
Hiiii boooooooots. We speculate on the price of Monica's 'way too expensive for her' boots, Phoebe crosses enough lines with minors that we're surprised she isn't on Megan's List, and Joey's little sister isn't interested in FaYsHon, she's preayganant!
Ok so the good news is we have Brad Pitt in this episode! The bad news is he is 1/3 of the I Hate Rachel Club (technically 1/2 if you don't count the foreign exchange student who didn't really understand what the club was for). Joey works on eating a whole turkey by himself because that's what Tribianni's do! Enjoy this only slightly later than real life Thanksgiving episode!
Chandler gets a belated hooker stripper for his bachelor party, Rachel gets TIVO which is slang for pregnant and lets her father tell Mona, instead of Ross.
Monica & Chandler scare their maid off with their antics. Rachel is moving, then not, then moving, then not, but at least Ross learns some Dutch in the process! Phoebe gets a call from her sister's ex-lover wondering if she wants to become his current lover. It's just as messy as it sounds. On a fun note, do you remember your first cellphone ringtone and was it also monotone beeps?
We finally get the answer to the age old question: Can Bunny defeat Doody? The gang is hosting a halloween party where everyone dresses up but Rachel's material instinct, Phoebe is dressed like Ursula, Joey is dressed like Chandler blahhhhhh, Monica is dressed like a scrappy Chihuahua, and Mona DID come as a slutty nurse.
No not that date - not that one either! We'll save you the trouble, it's the one with Cash, Joey's actor friend. Yes, she is pregnant, no, Ross is not ok with it (surprise, surprise). We meet Tim, the hot but annoying sous chef at Monica's restaurant that Phoebe dates. Things don't end well for Tim. We also meet Bob, who thinks Chandler is Toby... which is arguably better than Muriel. Come along to hear one of our family names that we loved to hate back in the day!
Renée and Ashley are still together in New Zealand! Did we every tell you about the time we were backpacking through Western Europe...... do you want to finish the story, Ken Adams? (Funny enough, we have never been to Europe together, but I digress).
We get the details of who came onto who (or is it WHOM?) that resulted in the Ross & Rachel pregnancy scandal. Monica and Chandler are back from the honeymoon without souvineers and with a new couple friend, who Fake Numbered Them.
Get excited because this week…we’re recording together in New Zealand! It’s the one where Rachel tells… the father of the baby! And that father shows up at her ob-gyn ready to be annoying. Monica & Chandler depart for their honeymoon and are robbed of all the good stuff by their arch nemesis couple. Meanwhile, Phoebe & Joey find clever ways to break into the betrothed couple’s apartment. Come join us for this one in Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud!
Phoebe's pregnant and Joey proposes.... oh wait actually Rachel is pregnant and Joey still proposes (he may still be looking for David Lynn...), Ross and Chandler throw a second wedding, and Monica goes AWOL on the gifts. We are ALMOST done talking about Mondler's wedding! And we find out who Rachel's baby daddy is!!!!
Season 8, (more) wedding season is upon us! We know someone is pregnant... pergnant...gregnant... and we find out it isn't Monica, isn't Phoebe, must be Rachel! Phoebe plays a very risky little game but thankfully it pays off. Meanwhile, Chandler and Joey are having an outfit and shoe crisis, and Ross is having a flirting and women crisis. What's new, right?
Summer break is over, are Renee and Ashley even friends anymore?! (Spoiler alert: of course)
These Best Friends are back with new weekly Wednesday episodes, starting next week, October 5th! We missed you all a whole lot!
Someone is pregnant, someone has disappeared, someone is drunk, someone is lying about a hair transplant, someone is HI YAH-ing, someone found Chandler......'s vest and someone is getting married today!!!! Season 7 ends us with a little baby cliffhanger (see what I did there?) and a little summer slash winter break for Renee and Ashley depending on which hemisphere you live in. See you next school year!
It's go time people!!!!! It's the day before Monica & Chandler's wedding and neither of them can believe Chandler hasn't freaked out yet. Well, don't speak too soon guys cuz it's about to happen. Meanwhile, Joey gets to play opposite one of Ashley's celebrity crushes - Gary Oldman! Doesn't sound so great though with all the spitting. Maybe Joey should just tell Ross, and he can go kick his ass for him.
Our first ever episode without Ashely! Anya guest hosts this iconic episode, where Monica and Chandler go to Viva Las Gay-gas, Ross and Rachel learn about the long arm of the law, and Joey tries a lil something special for new undies.
Ok listen... we aren't saying we've seen this whole episode before... but we've seen most of it before. The good news is... we always have more opinions! Join us to help Monica and Chandler reflect on their relationship and write some vows, with very little help from everyone else. Take it from Ashley trying to help Renee write her vows, it's not easy!
Get ready to do some kissin people, we've got Rae Rae, Melissa, and sangria at the ready! Meanwhile, Chandler is blue-pinning people while Joey is trying to get his parents invited to the wedding, no matter how much the post office or the Irish try to stop them. Ross and Chandler squabble over who has the cooler tux to wear to the wedding.
Cousin Cassie is in town with the best hair ever and making all the boys wanna speak Barry White (or Manalow?), Rachel and Phoebe forget to throw Monica a secret voodoo goddess shower with lusts of the flesh theme, and Monica helps Joey grow a turtleneck.
Phoebe & Rachel go wedding dress shopping, bargain buying, hog tying, and band bargaining with Monica to try and have both THE dress and the Swing Kings, because Chandler, much like Ashley, fell prey to The Gap marketing of the early 2000s. On the other side of the street, Ross & Joey have the novel idea to let a woman decide who she wants to date, but don't worry, they ruin that idea in the end.
Joey gets nominated for a Soapie, we talk all about award shows, gracious loser-ing, and all that jazz, and Ross is giving off some sort of ~SeXy PrOfEsSoR ViBe~ because he's making all his students fall in love with him... or in love with better grades.
IN LONDON?! We learn who Monica planned to hook up with, and Ben learns a lot of not so fun tricks (according to Ross) from his fun, Aunt Phoebe.... I mean Rachel! And Phoebe has a whole plot line cut out from the TV version - you're not gonna wanna miss this!
Phoebe & Rachel fight over who gets to find love in the digital age with a cell phone meet cute, Joey gets acting tips AND MORE from Jessica Lockharte so his character is ready to wake up from the brain transplant as her, and Ross treats Monica & Chandler to a wee bit o'celebration. Why is your family Scottish?! Why is your family Ross?!
We revisit everyones 30th birthday including our own, we talk about feeling like the only person who is PLONE (not a typo), and how age aint nothin but a number, baby! ;)
This episode we’ve got Earl, Puh-earl, Rosita, and Easy Monica’s Bakery. Phoebe prevents self harm, two barka loungers bite the dust, and Monica had a roller coaster of emotions when she loses her childhood memories but gains a Porsche!
The Burger King Comet viewing party on the roof is the beginning of a long night. Chandler experience insomnia for the first time, Tag and Rachel are both employee of the year, Ross and Joey figure out if face to face is actually better, and Phoebe fights with the smoke detector.
What’s worst: blowing off plans with your friend for a date that comes up last minute, eating a delivery that was meant for Mrs Braverman downstairs, or showing up to a wedding you weren’t invited to and saying blood to everyone at your table? Take your pick, because we’ve got them all in this episode!
Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukah! Ross decides to teach Ben about Phoebe, Superman, the Holiday Armadillo, the Christmas Skull, and the Easter Bunny's funeral this year, Phoebe tries to trick Rachel out of living with Joey, and Chandler has difficulty pulling off the oldest trick in the book. Happy Holidays, ya filthy animals!
This week we're joined by a very special guest - Kim! Kim goes waaaaaaaay back so prepare for some deep cut stories. We talk about Rachel, Tag, and the sexy evaluation; Ross, Phoebe, and her first bike; and how Monica could monetize her booming candy business. Mmm! Night Gar!
Chandler hates dogs, Ross hates Ice Cream and America, Joey hates logic, Phoebe hates when her knitting comes to life, Monica hates not knowing things, Rachel hates her back, Tag hates getting his car broken into but we all LOVE THANKSGIVING EPISODES!
Ok did everyone have a sexy spot in the library, and we were just too naive to know about it? Well... Ross's library book is smack dab in the sexy section. Janice has invited herself to Monica & Chandler's wedding, and invited herself to sing a little number, too. Joey tries to get rid of another one night stand, but Phoebe, Rachel, and Cupid have other plans. Join us, won't you?
Monica and Chandler talk about if she ever gets faa-a--aaaa-aaaaa and how she needs luck marrying him, the girls play Bamboozled: MOH edition, and Joey and Ross take the ultimate nap even though John McClain had plans....
Join us as we bird dog the hot chicas (sorry... we don't even know what that means and tbh it kinda sounds like something that one shouldn't say anymore, anyway moving on...). Rachel enlists the help of Joey to keep Tag occupied just enough to not actually date anyone, and then Monica enlists the help of Joey when Chandler can't stop looking like a crazed maniac in their engagement photo for the local paper. Perhpas Phoebe & Ross should have enlisted Joey to help them in their quadruple-way marriage problems with Kyle & Whitney, though there probably would have been more sex weapons than there already were.
The One with Rachel's Assistant! We have a special guest host named Em who talks all about Tag, Tacos, and Telling your friends when their TV shows suck. Tune in!
In this episode, Rachel tries to teach Joey how to sail the Mr. Beaumont - it does not go well. Jack Geller invites Chandler to play racquetball, which starts out great but does not end well on account of all the steam in the steam room. Monica and Phoebe try to recreate Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe, and batch 16 ends poorly for Ross, while the whole thing turns out to be a bit of a bust. Phoebe is right though, we do butcher the French language.
The Monica-Wedding-Fund apparently has run dry since Ross got married so many times and they've had plenty of years of beach fun, we find out that Chandler is great at saving money, Joey takes an unapprved nap in Rachel's room only to find her sassy romance novel, and Ross and Phoebe shack up for a while and both give people massages in Ross' apartment without the other one knowing.
Gird your loins people, Monica & Chandler are engaged! Truly though gird your loins, apparently this night puts people on the prowl for bonus night. At least that's what happens to Rachel & Ross, kissing in the secret hallway where no one ever goes. Meanwhile Joey is trying to pass for a 19 year old, and Phoebe is providing some fabulous music for the whole night (a little taster for when she plays at Monica & Chandler's wedding). Woohoo, Season 7 Baby!
IT'S HERE!!!!!!! Chandler is stupidly still trying to throw Monica off the scent (whyyyyyyyyy) and ends up throwing her right into the arms of her former lover, Richard! Richard is offering to give her all the things she wanted that he couldn't give her before, and Chandler is pretending that marriage is a scheme by the government to track us. Phoebe and Rachel, meanwhile, are securing their backups, and everything ends up pretttttttttty sweetly!
Chandler has to throw Monica off the scent of his proposal (but may not that far off) but Richard has other plans, Ross has to wash his nice suit after Elizabeth showers him with cocktail water balloons, leaving Ross to question where this relationship is going, and Rachel brings Phoebe to a charity silent auction to drink enough for the kids and Joey guesses the price of a sailboat he now gets to buy!
Hmm something's still not right... let me hold the musket again. Phoebe has the privilege of helping Chandler pick out the ring he's going to use to propose to Monica, but there are more than a few obstacles, ending with Phoebe pretending to be a dying woman to facilitate the ring swap. Meanwhile, Rachel is counseling Paul through his childhood trauma and a lot of crying. Joey & Ross try to ice Chandler out but it doesn't work so well.
Ross decides it's a good idea to keep dating Elizabeth even though her father, his employer, and friends do not think it's a good idea. Unfortunately they run into Paul and Rachel at the country house and then they have one problem they do NOT know how to solve. The girls put their name on the list for the wedding venue and send Chandler into meltdown mode when he finds out he is the groom. And I just realized nobody knows what Joey is up to today!
Yay Bruce Willis is here! We get to meet Elizabeth's dad, Mr. Stevens, aka Bruce Willis! Understandably, he does not like Ross. Ross tries to trick him into liking him by having his friends win Mr. Stevens over, and Rachel understood the assignment. Joey is enjoying lead actor life, and apparently it has already gone to his head because when he & the guy who controls the robot get off on the wrong foot, Joey says he's going to get him fired. Then Joey learns a little something about robots (not really). Meanwhile, Phoebe is writing a book about Mon...Martha and Chester. Join us for all the fun!
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a clip show. All about all the bad jobs the Friends have had in the past, every time Joey & Chandler have screwed each other over, and every mac & cheese Ashley and Renee have ever eaten described in great detail.
I'm not talking to you - you broke my fridge! Joey has lost his damn mind and is trying to get everyone to pay for half of his broken fridge, proving once again that refrigerators don't live as long as people. Rachel has a benefit and has to choose between what we can only assume is a Bitcoin mansplainer and a silent weirdo (can you guess which one we'd each choose?). Ross misestimates the Elizabeth situation, but thankfully he doesn't do anything stupid like fly to MTV for Spring Break... oh wait...
Ross dates Cutie McPretty even though it is frowned upon, Rachel and Phoebe have a fire in their apartment and learn about fire school, and Chandler helps Joey get an audition on Thursday - THE THIRD DAY. Let us know if you need help remembering...
Ahhh, salmon skin roll. In the One with Unagi, Ross tries to prepare Rachel and Phoebe in the Japanese art of always being prepared for any danger that could befall them, like someone stealing their kettle of fish. It doesn't end well for Ross. Chandler and Monica agree to make presents for each other for Valentine's Day but actually should have just agreed on no presents, because this idea tanks. Joey is looking to make some cash, so he recruits a twin for a medical study - dammit Carl!
Part 2 of this Friends alternate timeline. It's not a great time for married people or 30 year old virgins or stock brokers who lose millions of dollars or tv stars or struggling writers. We catch up with the gang and find out what they COULD have been doing if they'd taken a different path!
THE ONE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN! In this absolute classic, we laugh, we cry, we cringe, we talk for an hour. What if Rachel ended up marrying Barry? What if Joey didn't get fired from DOOL? What if Chandler had the guts to quit his job and write for the New Yorker, and Phoebe had decided to take the job at Merrill Lynch? What if Monica hadn't lost weight, and what if Ross never got divorced (the first time)? We also answer a few of our own "what if" alternate timeline questions, and give the self-help tips no one wanted or asked for!
Chandler can't cry because he is dead inside, Phoebe meets her biggest fan (but not for the talent she thinks it's for), and Rachel has her sister Jill doubting her fashion sense while she's freaking out that Jill & Ross shut the drapes on their date.
OMG Jill! OMG Rachel! OMG, introduce us! We meet Jill, Rachel's spoiled sister (not the one that bit her), after Daddy cut her off and told her to go learn from the only sister he's proud of. Slight problem, Jill and Ross start doin a little flirtin, which is understandably very weird for Rachel. Aside from that, Joey is giving away free food to modelling contest honorable mentions, and Monica is in the prime of lime!
Chandler and Ross send a joke to Playboy to contribute to the hard hitting journalism, Joey starts and nearly ends his career of being a barista, and the girls argue over who is more date-able.
Rachel buys a bunch of stuff from Pottery Barn and she has to hide it from Phoebe, but Ross ruins those plans. Monica & Chandler are so excited Joey & Janine are a couple so now they can double date, but Janine ruins those plans! Listen in for a very fun fact from Renee about Pottery Barn & Friends, and some ruined plans.
Janine invites Joey to some Dickin Rockin Dicky Eve, The Gellars get to show off their brother-sister dance skills, and Monica and Phoebe crack Chandler on the hunt for presents. NOW it feels like Christmas!
I don't know, I was all high! Happy Thanksgiving, people! We find out that Ross smoked pot in college (and blamed it on Chandler), Phoebe loves Jacques Cousteau, Rachel wasn’t supposed to put beef in the trifle, and Joey & Ross wanna gooooooo! It's a lot of information to take in in 30 seconds, so let us unpack it for ya.
Ross gets rid of his human teeth for his date with Hilary, Phoebe makes out with Kenny the Copy Guy and Rachel has to save face with her job, Chandler is suddenly obsessed with being "manly" and Joey gets in touch with his crafty side and learns about Famous Babies and Famous Watering Cans.
Come on, that's not running! Rachel moves in with Phoebe - YAY! - and to celebrate they go for a roomie run in Central Park. Chandler moves in with Monica and to celebrate, he decides to clean everything in the apartment... we'll let you guess how that goes over. Joey is also getting in on the new roommate fun, with Janine La Croix (no relation to the delicious beverage), a dancer from Australia. For those of us who have barely left our homes in the last year, the roommate switching fun is a nice outlet!
It's moving day, people! Rachel has not packed, and it's too late for Phoebe but SAVE YOURSELVES. Joey and Chandler do nothing for the last time, and play CUPS for the first time, and China somehow still beats Italy. Ross - amazing father he is - makes a fake Ben. It's the end of an eara!
Guys, it doesn't matter whether you say por-shhhh or por-shuh, what matters is that ROSS AND RACHEL ARE FINALLY GETTING A FREAKING DIVORCE! This episode starts with a funny, funny anulment form that goes awry, and then has a cute babysitting situation that also goes awry, and Joey is just a consistent amount of nuts the whole time.
Joey gets a hernia when his insurance expires, but it's nothing a little laser eye surgery won't fix! Phoebe is exhausted waiting for death after her psychic tells her it's coming, and Ross fakes an accent AND a marriage to Rachel.
So many bad decisions, but we love the friends anyway. Rachel has to move out of Monica's apartment because Chandler is moving. Her options are Ross - who she doesn't know re-loves her - and Joey - who keeps trying to make naked Wednesdays happen. She would move in with Phoebe but then what would we do about Denise? Chandler has some suggestions for the apartment, like a big road sign above their bed that says MERGE. Fun fact - this very same thing happened to Renee's mom!
Front page news: Ross and Rachel are still married. And they are hugging. Rachel gets more bad news when she finds out Monica and Chandler are moving in together. Monica is not pregnant, Phoebe knows all of the secrets, and Joey is mourning the loss of J-Man & Channys!
The day we've all been waiting for - the FRIENDS reunion is alive in the world! If you haven't watched this yet, skip until you're caught up, as there are some spoilers in there. We loved watching this and we hope you did too!
Well people it's the one after Vegas! Ross and Rachel wake up in bed together only to piece together their silly Vegas mistake (uh oh, been there! Just kidding, we haven't done that), Monica & Chandler are now avoiding signs to get married, and Phoebe & Joey have a friennassance on the drive back to NYC. Join us for this iconic one!
To commemorate finishing Season 5, we take some time to reflect and reminisce! Our favorite episodes so far, highs and lows of our time so far, and get generally sentimental and mushy. Come join us for the fun memories!
VEGAS, BABY! Vegas is getting all the points, people are getting married, getting drunk, getting kicked out of the casino, getting rich off identical hand twins, and getting the biggest suite in the place! This is peak FRIENDS territory!
Happy Annivegasry! Happy Planeversary! Happy Annevadaversary!!! We are so excited for the Vegas episode and not just because this trip includes Pheebs! There's some ups and downs with Monica and Chandler, some ups and downs with Joey's career (acting, then as a casino character, then with his hand twin), and some ups and downs with Rachel and Ross (naked, not being invited to the physical act of love, and some plane pranks that get out of control). Come join us in VEGAS!!!
ROAD TRIP TO VEGAS BABY! Joey gets his big break because Betsy has been dead for 10 years, Phoebe is mad at Ross and the inventor of a great decision making game, and Rachel gets an eye infection that EYE can't believe.
In this episode, there's some competitive ball throwing (droppers need not apply), a hairless cat ("it's not a cat!"), and some hasty decisions about moving in together. Look alive people, it's gut check time!
Ross, Chandler, and Joey get a new lease on life when they have a "near death" experience on a ride along with Gary, Monica and Rachel face a moral dilemma when Emily calls Ross the night before her NEXT wedding (I'm starting to think those two were actually meant to be).
In this episode, Ross can't flirt (hard same), Rachel can't find Monica's earrings, and Nonni can't speak English but can't tell what's going on anyway. We love this episode, even though not much happens. Join us for a gab fest, you know the drill!
Rachel looks happy and sick and has to smoke for work, Ben gets invited to audition and Joey wants to learn all of his secrets, and Monica and Phoebe RUE THE DAY as they plan Rachel's surprise party. MMMMMM NOODLE SOUP.
The guy from Ralph Lauren called, you got a second interview! (if you aren't watching the box set, then you probably didn't say that in Monica's "funny" voice in your head). Rachel is not litigious but does accidentally get kissy, Monica and Chandler have a little role reversal in who freaks out about the relationship, Phoebe and Gary are the new hottest couple in town, and Ross has all the funniest bits in his new apartment!
Phoebe finds a badge and gets drunk with power, Joey is jealous of Mondler and decides to hit on Rachel, ya know, since he saw her first, and Ross is too cheap to pay for the delivery fee and one of the most iconic FRIENDS moments happens. #PIVOT
In this episode, Joey puts on a lot of sweaters to avoid getting punched by his lil girlfriend. Chandler freaks out about his relationship with Monica (first time of many?) and overcompensates disatrously. Ross moves into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment and doesn't make friends but does retain his principles. It's a fun one!
THEY DON'T KNOW THAT WE KNOW THEY KNOW WE KNOW.... ya know? Phoebe seduces Chandler, he invites her to feel his bicep and maybe more, Ross gets competitive for Ugly Naked Guys' apartment, and the secrets reeeeeeally start to spill out!!!
Alright people look alive, we've got a lot going on in this one! Joey has an audition to play a sophisticated gentleman so Rachel hooks him up with a unisex bag that prompts great Joey one-liners but not so great auditions. Monica gives the worst massages and Chandler's too scared to tell her, until he does in the sweetest way and these two really start to come into their own as a (still secret) couple. And lastly, Phoebe's grandma dies and she meets her real dad at the funeral - aka Bob Loblaw and Renee's least favorite casting choice. Join us!
Chandler takes Monica to work events and she points out his disgusting work laugh, Rachel tries to get Monica to tell her all about her secret affair with Mr. Big, Ross is bummed Emily is getting married and takes it out on a scone & by dating someone's ex. Drama, drama, drama.
Couple months into 2021 but not too late to make a resolution (which we confuse with revolution and revelation...). It is 1998 in Friends world and everyone's got a resolution! Ross is doing something new each day, like winning us over with those cool leather pants; Rachel is not gossiping, until she finds out something just too juicy; Monica is taking more pictures though that doesn't really affect the story; Phoebe wants to pilot a commercial jet; Chandler nearly combusts trying not to make fun of his friends; and Joey really nails the old lady!
Rachel is sort of dating Danny, who is sort of dating his own sister....? Ross tries to "help" Joey but turns out to be one sad pole-in-tologist, and Street Phoebe works for charity and hands out some Joy and some Non-Joy. Then, a handsome man enters.....
Two words: MYYYYYYYYYYY SANDWIIIIIIIIIIIIICH!? This episode is packed with goodies! The only good thing going in Ross's life was his sandwich, most of which is now in the trash in Donald's office), Chandler and Monica are doing a terrible job hiding their secret love affair yet again, causing poor Joey to be accused of being a huge pervert, and Phoebe & Rachel take literature classes at the night school but Rachel wanted to have fun and Phoebe wanted to learn. Head to our instagram for the Wuthering Heights music video you do not want to miss (ok maybe you do...).
We talk about what we're thankful for, our best and worst Thanksgivings, and our fave Thanksgiving food. We also give you a run down of the best slash worst Friends Thanksgivings (real or imagined). Tune in for some Turkey fun!
Hey roomies!! In this episode, Ross has to deal with the fallout from his breakup with Emily (no wife, no stuff, no apartment)so the guys let him live with them. I think we can fairly say they rue the day they made that decision. Phoebe has a little flirty fun with Larry the health inspector who keeps shutting down their favorite restaurants, and Rachel has lost the plot because she's so pretty she's not used to having to be the one doing the flirting and well... it isn't pretty. Now make some tea and come join us in the fort!
Rachel & Monica fog a yeti (and each other a little bit!) in their weird basement we never knew existed, Phoebe changes her beliefs to accommodate her new heirloom fur coat, Joey pushes Ross over the edge because he's not haaaaaaaappy about the changes Emily is asking for.
Phoebe and Joey debate selfless good deeds, Joey has another delusion of grandeur, Ross has to make an impossible choice put forth by Emily, and Monica is mad at Chandler for being the best she's ever had (not exactly).
Emily says she'll come to New York to make the marriage to Ross work on the condition he doesn't see Rachel again. Rachel goes into a spiral thinking she'll lose all her friends - understandable! Monica & Chandler plan a secret, sexy weekend away but it's ruined by lipstick, feet smell, and a high speed car chase. Oh and of course - Joey finds out!! Join us for the fun!
Our gift to you, more trivia! We are all about the Christmas trivia and hope you have a wonderful holiday season! We love you!
ONE HUNDRED EPISODES! That's a whole lotta us talkin'. There's babies coming out of people, doctors obsessed with Fonzie, hot male nurses, and turns out, Chandler's a girl! Join us for this very special occasion of one hundred episodes. Thank you for being with us on this fun journey - we are delighted to be here with you!
Chandler picks up some European thing with kissing everyone trying to hide his secret relationship with Monica, Ross sends 72 long stem red roses and other cheesy gifts to try and win Emily's affection (FULL DISCLOSURE I TYPED RACHEL INSTEAD OF EMILY, NEW SYMPATHY FOR ROSS), and Rachel is back from her honeymoon with herself and trying to sort out her feelings for Ross.
Hold onto your butts people because IT'S SEASON 5!!!!!! Not only is it season 5, it's The One After Ross Says Rachel. We debate the finer points of - WHAT JUST HAPPENED, what would you do if you were Emily, and we want to hear from you: Team Ross or Team Rachel? This is a long episode but there's a special treat for those who hang in til the end!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you lovely listeners out there! We're dishing up Thanksgiving themed trivia while you're dishing out seconds. We hope you have a great holiday, even if this year looks a little different <3 No matter what, we sure are thankful for all of you!
Can you believe we're already at the end of Season 4?! What's going to happen?! Ross forgets to take his brain meds, Joey hooks up with a bridesmaid, Rachel gets to London just in time to ruin everything, and Chandler isn't SEEING MONICA WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT????
No surprise here, but we had a lot to say! It's all happening, people!!! They're all heading to London for Ross & Emily's wedding! Well, not all... Phoebe can't go because she's too far into her pregnancy and Rachel can't go because she's too in love with Ross, a fact she only realizes later. Chandler is being a bit fat bummer, Joey is truly living his best life as a tourist in London, and Monica is making (unhelpful) suggestions to a very stressed out Emily. What am I telling you this for, you already know! Join us and shout your opinions along with us!
Joey becomes Ross' best man and sleeps with the stripper (of course!) and loses his Grandma's heirloom ring (how many wives have had this ring?! we need to know), Phoebe is partially sad about giving away the babies, and partially pissed about still being pregnant, so the girls try to throw her a shower. Also he intro to this episode is a real treat - please enjoy :)
Buckle up for a montage episode! We recap what's happened so far, ask a hard hitting question (that you can vote in on our insta stories!), and take sides pretty much as expected between Ross & Rachel.
Emily finds her dream dress, but not before Monica finds it first. Rachel thinks the best way to show Ross she's moved on was to OFFICIALLY lose her mind and reeeeeeeeeeally make sure Joshua isn't in the picture anymore. Joey goes to a sleep clinic because Chandler is a "baby" and needs sleep (oh, ok, Joey....)
Moooooooniiiiiing's heeeeeeeere, THE morning's here! There is a LOT to unpack in this episode! Rachel & Monica devise a plan to win their apartment back that just might work, Ross is feeling himself and I guess that's a good reason to marry Emily? And Phoebe is wearing Santa Claus's pants.
Rachel get's a hot new nighty to the-duthe JoshUA, Ross is controlling and paranoid in his relationship (weird!?) and Phoebe is naming one of the babies after The Hulk or maybe someone else that she knows!
Phoebe finds out she's pregnant with TRIPLETS! And therefore tries a few different schemes for helping Frank & Alice get enough money to pay for all those babies. Chandler & Joey somehow now get the porn channel so there's a mulleted backdrop to the episode, where Ross tells Emily he loves her then they fly back and forth incessantly so hinjinx can ensue. The takeaway from this one is don't listen to Monica - who knew!?
Emily is going back to London, and Rachel pulls out all the stops to try and seduce Josh-UA. Phoebe realizes the baby needs the meat and Ross realizes where all of the hotels in Manhattan are at.
Ready to learn what a flanker and forward and a lad are? Great! Chandler tries, (unsuccessfully) to break up with Janice...again, Ross tries (successfully?) to impress Emily, and Monica tries(unsuccessfully) to figure out what that light switch does. Our commentary is light on the sports and heavy on airplane travel, because we stick to what we know.
Joey STINKS (literally and figeratively), Chandler is moving through the break up phases, Rachel realizes she might not be so over Ross and under JoshUA, and Ross flits off to Vermont with that awful British woman! IT'S ALL HAPPENING!
It's an episode of upgrades & downgrades. The girls downgrade to the guys' apartment while the guys upgrade to the girls', Kathy upgrades to handsome Nick while Chandler upgrades to the single life (though he is pretty bummed about it at present), Rachel downgrades to personal shopping, and upgrades to her new hot client Joshua. Give it a listen!
Phoebe has the embryo transfer procedure, and Renee and Ashely make a lot of guesses about what IVF entails. THEN the girls bet the boys the apartment over some who knows who better trivia.... and an iconic FRIENDS moment ensues! We do our own trivia - listen in to find out who knows who better?! (And who asked the harder questions)
Phoebe's gonna grow a baby in her uterus for her brother, a super nice gift. Ross and Joey give the Museum the gift of friendship, while Monica gives allllllll of us the gift of the 7 erogenous zones and a very memorable on-screen moment (and receives her thanks from Kathy).
Ross dates all over the tri-state area, Chandler sets Rachel up for the highest bidder, Joey makes more money being fired by Monica than he has in months, and Phoebe writes a classic holiday song that rhymes with Budolf.
So basically everyone's plans get thwarted - episode in a nutshell. The party wizard is coming to town and that's bringing some Big Frat Boy Energy to Chandler & Ross, but that gets sidetracked. Monica & Phoebe plan to start a catering business, but Alessandro from Alessandro's (& So Little Time) changes those plans. And there's some bad news for Rachel, worse news for her boss Johanna, but not bad news for everyone who found Johanna as annoying as we did?
It's Thanksgiving! Monica has to see her eye doctor without a boyfriend, and almost dates Richard Jr, Ross pesters Rachel about returning gifts when he clearly buys her things she doesn't like, Joey punishes Chandler (rightfully so!) for kissing his girlfriend, and Chandler makes it up to him by living in a box. This is a good one. Oh, and the gang plays Secret Santa, and we talk about how some people NEVER share who their secret santa was - do you do that?!
Ross dates the world's most beautiful slob, aka Spokesmodel and Former Mrs. Stamos, Rebecca Romijn. Chandler gets Kathy an extremely thoughtful and wildly inappropriate gift, and Joey gets her nothing because he's never had a girlfriend with a birthday before apparently, Monica and Phoebe start a catering business, and Rachel finishes a crossword puzzle. We reminisce about our rodent problems, how Renée basically invented the first iPhone, and Ashley giving expensive gifts to guys who absolutely did not deserve them.
Joey tells the super what's up for a little something called not making girls cry, and ends up with a Strictly Ballroom situation on his hands, Phoebe does some feet flirtin', and Ross and Chandler try to quit the gym.....AND the bank.
What, these? Just a little gag gift from a friend. Ok, suuuuuuure Joanna. Join us as we get annoyed by Chandler, Joanna, and Judy Geller for a variety of reasons, and as we all attempt to pull a Monica.
Phoebe's mom comes to visit as a cat and Ross can't just support her, Joey and Chandler get robbed when Joey was trying to make a sale, Monica gets to go out with and then DUMP "Chip Matthew in High School" (we assume that's his full name).
Screw the jellyfish... screw all the jellyfish! Monica got stung, stung bad, and Chandler will always be the guy that peed on her. Meanwhile, Ross makes a big decision, choosing between Bonnie & Rachel, but there's just the small matter of the 18 page letter - FRONT AND BACK - to discuss. Or not, if you get your relationship advice from Joey & Chandler. Oh and not to be forgotten, Beach Phoebe is Phoebe's birth mom! Lots of jaw droppers on today's episode, get amongst!
Phoebe meets Beach Phoebe, who is also a bit floopy. Chandler pesters Monica as to why she won't date him, while Rachel & Ross have a little will-they-won't-they of their own. It was all fun & Strip-Happy-Days-game until Bonnie and came in, and decided to "catch up." When Bonnie goes bald again, Ross & Rachel kiss, and now Ross has to decide between Bonnie & Rachel. Come on in, the water's fine (for now)!
Chandler has the longest "good game" of his life, Rachel unknowingly gives Ross permission to date Bonnie (who has a great personality and GREAT head of hair) when she thinks she is bald, Monica helps Pete get in the ring and out of their relationship.
It's a kundis! While Guru Saj takes care of that (funny enough, not the only white guy calling himself a guru that we discuss in this episode), Phoebe goes from playing the field to working in the field. Who has your vote: hot Vince or sensitive Jason? Another dilemma pops up when Monica thinks Pete is going to propose to her. Jump on in!
Joey is in the world's worst play, with the worst director and actors, falling in love with his dramatic co-star and avoiding painting mugs, Phoebe is stuck on hold for a $29 phone replacement, Ross decides to bring a date (which means Rachel decides to bring a date) and then spends his entire date waiting for Rachel's date to scream (Hi, Ben Stiller!). Monica reminds us that she has a boyfriend, and Chandler reminds us that he's a creep (which is about all these two do for the entire episode).
Monica rolls her way into a new job opportunity now that Pete isn't still in love with her... or is he? Rachel's hurt but thankfully Ross sticks around to help her get ready for a big work event, ultimately missing his own big work event. Joey & Chandler get pet!
Monica gets a dollhouse but is a stick in the mud when Phoebe tries to use her imagination (heaven forbid!), Chandler jeopardizes Rachel's job by dating her boss and essentially ghosting her, Joey gets what he wants with Kate.... but is on the other end of "it's not you, it's me" for once and calls every girl in his book to apologize.
We've got a competition going for who can be more petty between Ross and Rachel. Oh and also we've got a competition to name a state after Pete. Joey's entry is PeteChicago, think you can do better?
Chandler is a strong, confident woman who doesn't need to smoke - we hear of Renee's hypnosis story, Monica and Pete fly to Italy in record time, and Frank and Alice make out a LOT. We also finally hear Ross admit that he did something wrong, but don't worry, he will take it back by the next episode ;)
What can we say, there's no ski trip. There is, however, a smoking Chandler, and bra-less Phoebe, and angry Rachel, and a thwarted laser disc marathon. Join us as we join Ross & Rachel's relationship dramas. And then tell us what you think!
The one we've been dreading - the morning after Ross & Rachel take a break. There's Chloe. There's the trail. There's Isaac (we're the same!). There's Wax-ine. There's Pain-zine now with a little wax. Renée and Ashley disagree on Ross (shocker). The whole thing is painful. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS!
It got bad, now it gets worse. We dive all the way into Ross and Rachel's break, the ensuing few hours after, what led up to it, how they must have been feeling, how WE are feeling, what we are thinking, and how we feel about what we think. Every Friends fan everywhere in the world has opinions about this iconic break(up?!), so join us and weigh in with your thoughts!
Can we...not? Where's Phoebe's mom to come turn off this episode of Friends and say The End?? The end, the end!! You guyssssss we hate this! Ross and Rachel fight again, mostly because of Ross's poor boundaries and crazy amounts of jealousy, Joey & Chandler give kinda good advice while playing on their own bad advice, and I can't even remember what Monica and Phoebe are doing at this point because I'm so distraught about Ross & Rachel. Is it the translator thing? Idk everything's pointless and nothing matters. Please join us, we can comfort each other through this hard time!
Ross continues on a jealous rampage, but lucky for him Mark is quitting - unlucky for him, he can't stay cool for one day listening about Jurassic Parka. Chandler starts dating a girl that Joey did "the worst thing he's ever done" to (no, not that!). Phoebe's singin' partner annoys us with all her cutesy folk songs, get that Jingle-Bitch out of here!
The One Where Monica and Richard are Just Friends.... ok sure, we'll believe it when we see it! Also something to behold, Joey reading a book! No, not the Shining. In a timely reference he is reading Little Women. Phoebe is also trying new things - like trying to get her latest beau Robert to wear undies. Let's see how that goes!
ARE YOU A JEALOUS FREAK LIKE ROSS? We hope not. We mainly dive into why Ross needs to lighten up and we also dive into the empty vase. And just for fun, we screw up the intro 5 times and I decided not to edit it out so you know what it's really like behind the scenes ;)
Ho ho ho get back in the Christmas spirit and enjoy the lookie of a Christmas cookie! Rachel finally quits the coffee shop, gets the fear, and finds her way into her first fashion job... kinda. Joey works at the Christmas tree lot, and Ross has a relationship with a young girl that in any other context than questionable 90s sitcom, would be problematic.
Let's Go Sports Fans!!!!!! Time for some (American) football!!!!!! In this Thanksgiving episode, Monica and Ross get too competitive because that's how they are, and we all get introduced to the Geller Cup (a troll doll nailed to a 2x4). Joey & Chandler get introduced to Mar-ha, and Phoebe gets introduced to a huddle. Rachel... well, she just goes long. No sports skill required to listen to this episode!
Phoebe flosses to save lives, Rachel babysits for the first time, Ben continues to have zero emotion, Joey learns about the homosapians, Ross has yet another dinosaur emergency, Monica BANG, and Chandler learns that he's the "other woman" so to speak in his relationship with Janice. Ugly Naked Guys's life hangs in the balance and the crew is relieved to find out that he's alive and well!
Monica chooses money over friends (foreshadowing) by getting a mattress from Janice's ex, the mattress king. However, karma I guess, because they end up deliver a palindrome, I mean racecar, bed. Phoebe doesn't notice because she's teaching Joey how to box and he left his nose open, as well as telling his student to play a role homosexually. Turns out, it's great advice. Ross tries to dad-joke Dr. Green into friendship. Spoiler: it doesn't work.
Oh, and Janice has a cold but that's show biz, baby!
FULL EPISODE OF FLASHBACK! Janice has a question! Who has bumped uglies? WHAT is bumping uglies? How many great one liners are cut out of this episode (at least 3!) All this and more on this very first full episode of flashbacks!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Holidays! We hope you have a great time celebrating this season with friends and family. Here's a little peek into our favorite Christmas episodes of FRIENDS! <3
In this episode we are reacquainted with Frank Jr, and acquainted for the first and hopefully last time with David Copperfield and his puffy hair. Tell us, do you have a laminated celeb freebie list?
Amazing discoveries! Now you can have this podcast every day! Joey gives Chandler some decent advice, to face his fears of commitment with Janice! The girls are pissed because of the double standards. Ross is over reacting because of Ben’s Barbie, and we realize the root of “kicky”. Phoebe gets to talk on a car phone and pretend to be Joey’s agent. And we discuss accidentally running into people on purpose and how this has worked out for us.
Monica's got a plan to get over her man: jam! Join us as we discuss all the important things like do we like jam, what was The Illusionist about, what was The Prestige about, are Mary Kate & Ashley fraternal or identical twins, and which of our childhood friends had a sign about not peeing in their pool. Oh and we talk about this episode of Friends a little bit too!
Please welcome our very first guest host, Casey! Casey is one of our besties from college and fellow friends lover. We talk about this one-scene episode, where we’re all not in a very museum-benefity kind of mood. Ross is a bundle of nerves, Joey & Chandler are fighting over SEAT CHECK, Monica loses it juuuuuust a little when she hears an old message from Richard, and Phoebe is our shining star of this episode.
SEASON THREE!!!!!!!!!! We're just a teensy bit excited!! Poor Monica is moping around after her breakup with Richard, Ross & Rachel are exploring the sexier side of their relationship, and excuse us for a bit because we have to go join Joey and Janice's Day of Fun!!
SEASON 2 FINALE! Can you believe it?! Rachel gets to dress up like Princess Bubbleyum and enjoy a repeat of her own wedding, Chandler is HH all over the internet, and Joey reeeeeeeeally needs to kiss a guy. Monica and Richard confront the reality of the future. Renee and Ashley check to see if BracesAndGlasses69 is available as a username on AIM.
Phoebe's got the pox! Small or chicken? In our penultimate (that's right I said it) episode of season 2, we meet & then quickly forget about Phoebe's submarine man who shows up for a romantic trip and then gets the pox, Monica shows Richard her crazy, and Chandler RUES the day he got Joey a temp processing job in his office. And none for Ross & Rachel, bye.
WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE PARTIES WHERE YOU POACH SOMETHING? We are team paper games & no flan. Rachel's parents cant party together yet, so they do the realistic thing and throw two. Which party would you rather be at? And we discuss the "say something nice about the birthday girl" tradition and our thoughts.
Monica get sucked into the business channel, because MEG gets out before they go down, CHP because who DIDN'T have a crush on Erik Estrada (jk I think I'm thinking of Emilio Estevez), and ZXY because we think you're sexy. Phoebe almost meets her dad, and the boys get bullied over a Grinch baseball cap. What a wild ride, join us!
THE END! THE END! Phoebe learns about the sad endings of movies, Ross & Rachel fight their way to saying "I love you" and Joey & Chandler get obsessed with their new dad, Richard.
Be your own windkeeper, Rachel. Noooo he won’t go, no no he won’t go. Are you pro jaunty hat, or con? Any crazy roommate stories? Does ANYONE know if Gunther was Bryce in All My Children?!? We need answers!
So here's the thing, don't take credit for writing your own lines when you don't. Because that's when they kick you off the show.
Also, don't let Phoebe talk about your sex life! And maybe don't tell Ross about your animal sex with the weenie from Torini. You know? Maybe just don't say anything, and let us do the talking for now.
Now that Ross and Rachel are official, Ross is over at the girls' apartment and it's a real Entertainment Tonight vs. Predators of the Serengeti situation. J Man is officially moved out of Channy's, and has decorated his new place with all the finest porcelain one man could buy. Chandler gets a new roommate, Eddie, and Smelly Cat gets a music video!
No more J-Man & Channy's?! Joey has decided to move out now that he's been on TV for at least 3 episodes. Rachel and Phoebe get tattoos, of a heart and the whole world, and Monica and Richard are declared something of an item. We talk about you licked and you put, our tattoos (can you guess where Renee's is?!) and how we don't think the age gap is weird.
Remember when Monica was 9 and Richard was 30 and Dad said, "Boy I really hope those two get together?" Love is in the air people! We've got Monica & Richard (YAY Richard!), Ross & Rachel, Joey & Chandler & the La Z Boys, and none for Phoebe I guess.
I pity the fool who doesn't listen to this episode! I do, I do! Joey and Chandler become Bracelet Buddies, Ross makes a case for him and Rachel to get an answering service, Phoebe claims that lobsters mate for life (up for debate in our book!), and the gang watches a throwback of Monica & Rachel getting ready for the prom. This is a good one, you guys!
Go Sports? Thankfully, this 2-part episode has nothing to do with sports. Join us as we go on set of Outbreak 2: Monkey takes Manhattan and meet up with Chris Isaak, Brooke Shields, Julia Roberts, Jean Claude van Damme, and two zookeepers we're pretty sure are famous but we aren't sure. Come on by!!
Join us for The One With The Lesbian Wedding, where we answer all the hard hitting questions like "Who is Evelyn Dermer?", "Who is Soupy Sales?", "What's new in sex?", "Does anybody have any...marijuana?", and "Is Newt Gingrich watching this?" We hope you enjoy!!
Russ, Ross - Ross, Russ. It's David Schwimmer vs. David Schwimmer on who can, uh, guh, cheayh.... take the longest to get, like, a sentence out? We see Fun Bobby get sober and significantly less fun, and we hear about DOOL for the first time!
It’s Christmas time in NYC! That means we’ve got Christmas cookies, ugly naked guy’s Christmas balls, presents that can be purchased from the gas station, and a tropical themed Christmas party. Tis the season!
This episode is called... Two of Them Kissed Last Night. Wait, that's not right. It's The One with Betty, Neil and.... Lulie. Ross and Rachel kissed, Ross is an idiot and makes a pro/con list (great for deciding where to go to college, not so much on girlfriends), Rachel finds it, and it's a whole thing. We see the beginning of Ross' obsessive behavior. Chandler gets a 1mb computer to store this single word document and feels the pain of pre-wifi printing. Oh yeah, and Monica tries to make Mockolate work.
Ross? Hi, it's Rachel. I'm just calling to say that everything is fine, and I'm really happy for you, and your cat... who, by the way, I think you should name Michael. And you see I'm thinking of names so obviously, I am over you. I am over you, and that, my friend, is what they call, "closure."
Chandler & Joey turn out to be the worst babysitters ever, Ross is a baby about getting a shot, we profess our love for Publix (nothing new here, Rachel has to fire Phoebe and then get her rehired with some cash to entice her, since Stephanie knows all the cords....
5 steaks, 3 brokies, 3 richies, a blowfish, and one teeny tiny pizza! Come listen to the gang argue about money (while we collectively cringe)!
The best friends are back together! Live in Palm Springs, again! We talk about Phoebe's soon-to-be-gay-ex-husband and how one of us almost married for citizenship (don't worry, we didn't actually go through with it!)and we find out why Ross is constantly over compensating with his relationships.
These two best friends are together, recording LIVE! We met in the middle (ish) in Palm Springs for a quick weekend while Ashley was states-side for a work trip. We talk about Mr. Heckles death (sad!), how Ross cannot let ANYTHING GO EVER, how Monica is a control freak and won't let Rachel have anything fun in the apartment, and how Chandler is at risk of dying alone... so he brings back our #1 girl - JANICE - only to find out she's changed a bit since we last saw her!

Ross is freaked out by people trying the breast milk, Monica has a secret new shopping friend (her name rhymes with Bulie), and Joey faces off with the fastest perfume spritzer in the west (of the men's department).

SEASON TWO IS HERE!!!! In episode 1, we pick up where we left off from the last episode of season 1. And that's with Rachel showing up at the airport to confess love to Ross.... but he walks off the plane with another woman! Juicy details await in S2E1, The One With Ross's New Girlfriend!

It's the end of Season 1 - can you believe it?! Neither can we. Rachel finds out that Ross has been in love with her all this time, Joey does a medical research project for money (Ashley can relate), and Ross goes to China where he will be unreachable, because we aren't in the future yet. We reminisce on the last few months and look forward to the next season!

Monica lies about her age and starts dating Young Ethan (who is even younger than she realized), Chandler gets a promotion and everyone hates him for it, and Rachel has a sex dream about Chandler, which of course makes Ross SO JEALOUS. We share our own experiences with being Young Ethan-ed and that one time Ashley made Renee yell "Ashley is the boss of me" in exchange for bringing a roll of toilet paper to the dorm bathroom.

Not very surprising, there is a lot of poker (joker with a P!) in this episode. The guys play and the girls learn, Rachel puts herself out there for an assistant buyer job (aiming quite high!), we talk about our gambling habits, applying for jobs and again, talk about pizza.
