1
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: So you know how I'm a young guy trapped in

2
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: a young guy's body. Everybody knows that there's nothing old

3
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: about me in any way, shape or form. The prices

4
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: of things in town don't throw me in any way,

5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: shape or form.

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: No, no, I know that for sure. You're a young

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: cool if there's ever been one.

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: So this week, I have something very rare happened in

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: my life where I have two days in the middle

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: of the week completely off, like I have nothing to do.

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: I have no podcasting, I have no auditions, I'm not

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: recording anything.

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have nothing to do.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: So I wake up, I walk the dog, and I

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: say to Susan, I say, you know what I'm gonna

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: do tomorrow.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do something I haven't done in a very

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: long time. I'm gonna go to a movie.

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh I love this.

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: Which I have not done. Susan can't go. I'm going

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: by myself. So I go on the online machine because

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 1: apparently you gotta do that first to pick my seat,

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: and I go, well, this is a mistake because it's

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: an eleven AM movie, so it can't be twenty seven

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: dollars for a ticket.

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 3: That's wrong.

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: So I try to find another website that has the

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: correct price.

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: But no, it's twenty seven dollars for the ticket.

30
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Fine, this is the world we live in now, I'd

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: like to be a part of it. Apparently, here we go.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: I then have my wife, because she needs the car,

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: drop me off at a movie, like I'm eleven.

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: Right, because you shove me one car?

35
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: She we have one car.

36
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: So she literally is like, have a great time at

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: the movies' honey, call me when you're done and I'll

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: come pick you up. I went, thanks, and I jumped

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: out of the car walk inside.

40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: You know what I get? What the hell?

41
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Popcorn Minnesota and a hot dog?

42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'm going nuts.

43
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: What I didn't know is that before I had to

44
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: do that, I needed to call Zurich to move some

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 1: money around.

46
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: Good.

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: By the time I get the theater for a movie,

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: one single movie ticket, small popcorn, small soda, and a

49
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: hot dog, it was sixty dollars.

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's.

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: Insane.

52
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we go with both kids to the movies,

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: it ends. How do you do that? Almost two hundred dollars.

54
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 4: To see a movie?

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: This used to be like I've got five extra books,

56
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to a movie and get some popcorn.

57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: This is insane, people, and it made me realize that

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: we as consumers, we need to say no, we can't.

59
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

60
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: So first of all, I sit in the movie and

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm already like, I can't believe I'm doing this with this,

62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: And then two people sit next to me. Who the

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: guy they're obviously on a date or something. It's the

64
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: middle of the day, and he decides to describe everything

65
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: that's happening on screen to the woman next to him

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: the entire movie.

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: I'm sixty dollars in.

68
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, if I had kids, they couldn't go to

69
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: a private school because I decided to see this movie

70
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: and I'm next to people that are talking the entire

71
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: time I'm in the movie.

72
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: Was it full? Could you not just move seats even

73
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 2: though you had picture seat?

74
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: And one of those people that I would rather sit

75
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: there and seethe and stay in the seat that.

76
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: I booked than your day, Yeah, exactly, I exactly.

77
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: So I just sat there and I'm like, and then

78
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: he turns me in the movies over It's like it

79
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: was good, right, And I wanted to be like, it

80
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: could have been.

81
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: It could have been, but you were talking through the

82
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: whole thing.

83
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: But no, he he. I was like, yeah, sure was.

84
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: I went.

85
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of what they're doing in the

86
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: whole Predator world, so I wanted to see Predator bad Lands.

87
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: I've heard it cool, it's great. I really enjoyed it.

88
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,400

Speaker 1: for the tickets. So I'm already having like an old,

90
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: like a senior person's moment where I'm like, I get

91
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: that the music is too exactly, and the music is

92
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: too loud, and the movies are too expensive, and this

93
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: is awful. And I'm walking out of the theater and

94
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm walking down these big stairs going into the mall,

95
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: and it happens. My whole day changes because it happens

96

00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: In my age going on fifty three seats basically, and

150
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in this broken chair with people talking next

151
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: to me, just amazed that people are paying this amount

152
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: of money for tickets for things. Did you hear the

153
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: new article that came out that apparently, and we can

154
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: verify this, apparently the average price ticket for a Taylor

155
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Swift concert the average price was four thousand dollars. Oh

156
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, wow, insane what people are paying for this nowadays?

157
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, because of resale. Yeah that's why it's not because

158
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: that's what she targed her.

159
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't blame her at all. I blame people that

160
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: are paying for the for the tickets. Everyone just needs

161
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: to stop until people go. You know, Taylor Swift walks

162
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: into a concert and there's nine people there, They're going

163
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: to have to lower the prices.

164
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: And that's we We have the powers consumers, because this

165
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: is crazy. Now, it's crazy people. Sorry, I need its

166
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: event a little bit.

167
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Now. I'm going to take a nap and have some

168
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: oatmeal and my day is going to be fine.

169
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: You'll be good.

170
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: I'm wearing them right now. Yeah, I'm not regular. It's

171
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: making me a little angry.

172
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: Welcome to Pond meets the World. I'm Daniel Offishal, I'm

173
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: right or Strong, and I'm Will Fordell. The journey through

174
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: holiday TV episodes continues. I know I missed Will's make

175
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: a wish when you guys talked about mash Thanksgiving. Sorry

176
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: to have sat that one out, but this week we

177
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: are wanting to hear that.

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Sorry, sensing your sarcasm.

179
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: With this week, we once again get into the leftover

180
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: turkey and stuffing. But for one of the most popular

181
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: sitcoms of all time, possibly the biggest sitcom ever, Friends,

182
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: I'd say this one is even a bit of a

183
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: listener request because on our social media this episode came

184
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: up over and over. It is season eight, episode nine,

185
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: the one with the rumor. I know we've talked about

186
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: it being a bit of a blueprint for you will,

187
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: but what is both of your relationship with Friends? The show?

188
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: I love Friends?

189
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I started watching Friends from the beginning. I think

190
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: it is wonderfully written. The characters are incredible, and Matthew

191
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Perry is for this version of acting, which we always

192
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: talk about sitcom acting being its own thing.

193
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, is I'd say one of the top three of

194
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: all time.

195
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he just plays off beat. You never

196
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: know where he's going to go with his dialogue. You

197
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: never know what's going to happen. It's a shame knowing

198
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: now his life that he was in such torment as

199
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: he was doing the show. Yeah, but my god, could

200
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: that man hit a joke and hid it in a

201
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: way you never thought it was gonna happen.

202
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: It's interesting to me that you single him out so much,

203
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: because I think everybody is so good.

204
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: Like they're funny to get This cast is just amazing across.

205
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: The board, and their chemistry is insane, Like I just

206
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: so it's it's I've never been able to like really

207
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: say like he's that distinct. I just think that as

208
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: an ensemble, I don't know if there's ever been a

209
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: better cast.

210
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, you can make arguments for some

211
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: of the biggest sitcoms of all time, the Cheers and

212
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: the Seinfel Yes and Nash and but again, one of

213
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the things that we that writer and I talked about

214
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: on the episode that you decided not to come on

215
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: because you hate me and you hate the things I love, Danielle.

216
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: Nothing to do with Dancing with the Stars, nothing, no.

217
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: No, God, of course it didn't.

218
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Is the fact that we were trying to find a

219
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: show because there's so few that actually get better or

220
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: as just or just as good the longer they go,

221
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: which is almost impossible to do. I mean, yeah, every

222
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: show you find that has this big drop off where

223
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: you're watching the later seasons, like, God, this isn't very

224
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: good and Friends, well, yes, the later episodes weren't as

225
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: good maybe as some of the middle or early episodes.

226
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: It didn't have that big a drop off.

227
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 4: Right, this is season eight, eight and it's still doing

228
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: this so fresh, correct, So I know, yeah, I could

229
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: not believe how good this was.

230
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: The sustainability of this cast was really outstanding.

231
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: It really was. I agree. I know I had seen

232
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: a few episodes of the show when it was on.

233
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: I've still never seen them all. I had never seen

234
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: this episode, even though I was familiar with it existing

235
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: in just the zeitgeist because I remember, of course that

236
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, Brad Pitt was on Friends, right, right, So yeah,

237
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: I knew it existed. And obviously I know I've worked

238
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: with Marcel the Monkey, so we have that's right, We

239
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: worked with him. That's that's an accomplishment, so you know.

240
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, this show. When when I saw on the

241
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: paperwork that we were doing a season eight episode of Friends,

242
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, no, we're going to do one that's

243
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: not good. It was incredible.

244
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 3: It's very incredible.

245
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: It's a great It is a it is one of

246
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the best written sitcoms of all time.

247
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's a show that seems to still resonate

248
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: with even gen Z and younger and this particular episode

249
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: first aired on November twenty second, two thousand and one,

250
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: twenty four years old. You can watch it on HBO Max.

251
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: It's one of their tent pole titles for when you're

252
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: choosing a streaming service. They paid a lot of money

253
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: for the rights, so go make them feel good about it.

254
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: Is that I'm sorry? Is that?

255
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: I was wondering that because it was an NBC show,

256
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: so I figured it was going to be on Peacock.

257
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: Is that what it was? Is like HBO just had

258
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: a bidding warble of Friends.

259
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we know that people want that makes sense smartest, Yeah?

260
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. So jumping into our synopsis, Monica invites Will, an

261
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: old school friend of hers and Ross's, over for Thanksgiving dinner,

262
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: unaware that he isn't a big fan of Rachel. It

263
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: was directed by Gary Halverson. This is one of fifty

264
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: six episodes of Friends he directed, and he was a

265
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: very busy go to hire for TV shows. He began

266
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: his career as a director at the New York Metropolitan Opera.

267
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

268
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: It was written by Shana Goldberg Mehand, who was an

269
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: EP of the show. This is one of four scripts

270
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: she wrote. She would later co create the infamous spinoff

271
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: Joey with her husband, producer Scott Silvery and Worth, noting

272
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: her father created Family Ties.

273
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: Wow, Gary David Goldberg was her dad.

274
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: Yes, wow, jeez, Yes, I had to look at her

275
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: last name before. Yeah, that's right, that's awesome starring and

276
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: no need to go deep with these names. You know

277
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: all about them. Jennifer Aniston is Rachel Green, a role

278
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: she won an Emmy four Courtney Cox as Monica Geller,

279
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: Lisa Kudrou is Phoebe Buffet, another Emmy winner for Friends,

280
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: matt LeBlanc is Joey Tribiani, Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing.

281
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: He tragically passed away in twenty twenty three at the

282
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: age of fifty four, and David Schwimmer as Ross Gueller

283
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: guest starring Brad Pitt as Will Colbert. This is probably

284
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: the show's most publicized guest star. He was the real

285
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: life boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston at the time, making up

286
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: one of the biggest celebrity couples of our generation. Oh yeah,

287
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: and seeing the world's biggest movie star on TV back

288
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: then just was not happening.

289
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: Nope, it was.

290
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: It was crazy that he was going to do an

291
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: episode of TV.

292
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been That would have been the

293
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: film equivalent of in the seventies, like Robert de Niro

294
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: going on Barney Miller, right right, It just would never

295
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: have happened.

296
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a young, cool reference for you.

297
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: So, you know what, can you speak up? I can't

298
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: hear everything you're saying. And second of all, I'm old

299
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: today and I'm loving it.

300
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: Wow.

301
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: By the way, there's people out there that are like,

302
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, spot on analogyo, what I'm talking about?

303
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: Thank you?

304
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: They probably don't know how to listen to a podcast,

305
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: but they never heard of a podcast.

306
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: You know what's happening.

307
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: Oh, let's jump into our recap. We start in Joey

308
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: and Rachel's apartment. Rachel, who's in the early stage of pregnancy,

309
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: walks out in a bathrobe while Joey sits in his

310
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: favorite lounge chair. He's reading the book What to Expect

311
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: when You're Expecting Worth, noting it is not his baby

312
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: she's carrying. They are not in a relationship, not yet. Nope.

313
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: Joey is shocked by a section he just read. It

314
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: says a woman's finger will swell up to twice its

315
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: size during pregnancy and never shrink back. Rachel looks at

316
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: her fingers in shock and then grabs the book to

317
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: read it for herself. Joey laughs, you fall for it

318
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: every time. Then Phoebe walks in with a bag full

319
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: of her old maternity clothes. Rachel immediately loves one pair

320
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: of bold patterned pants with a stretchy waistband. Phoebe explains

321
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: that the pants expand as the baby grows, and once

322
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: the baby's out, they're perfect for shoplifting melons.

323
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 4: All right, So I had no idea what was going on.

324
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 4: So she's pregnant with Ross's Yeah, I mean because they

325
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: end up together. I know that. And the show started

326
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: with Rachel running away from a wedding, correct and meeting

327
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: the friends and becoming part of their crew.

328
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Well, she grew up with with Rachel and Ross. So

329
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Rachel was Monica's best friend in high school and Ross

330
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: was the older brother, right, and then Rachel went off

331
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: to Mary Barry and ran away from his Okay, but

332
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: now they're.

333
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: So they're having a child even though they're not together.

334
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Correct, they had there's a great episode. I think it's

335
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: called the one with a videotape where he actually Ross

336
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: by accident videotapes the sexual encounter they have that gets

337
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: her pregnant, okay, And it's really it's a very very

338
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: funny episode where all of the other friends are like,

339
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: we're we're gonna need to see the tape. And then

340
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a question of do they watch it or do

341
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: they not watch it? What are they going to watch?

342
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: What are they not because she keeps saying it's hysterical.

343
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: She keeps saying, you hit on me, Ross and that's

344
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: why this happened. He's like, you came on to me.

345
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: And they have the whole encounter and he's like, I have.

346
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: It on tape and she's like, excuse me. And so

347
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a really funny the way they get there. But

348
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: the thing about Friends is you can also tell where

349
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: they are in the series by who's living with whom right,

350
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: because it starts where Monica lives in that house, which

351
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: they've they've done the work on where they say, like,

352
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: if you actually were going to rent that nowadays it's

353
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: like fourteen thousand dollars a month or something like that.

354
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: But she lives there in the rent controlled building that

355
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: her grandmother left her, and Rachel moves in with her.

356
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: So that's Originally it was Joey and Chandler live in

357
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: across the hall, Rachel and Monica lived together, and then

358
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Ross lives by himself, and then they keep switching partners.

359
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Maybe also lives by herself at this point. I think

360
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: she lives by herself before she lived with her grandmother. Okay,

361
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: so the right now what's happening is eventually Monica and

362
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Chandler get together, so they move into that apartment, and

363
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: so then Rachel ends up moving in with Joey, which

364
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: then eventually leads to Ross.

365
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: And you think Ross.

366
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: And Rachel they're going to get back together, but actually

367
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Joey and Rachel start to get together. It's they keep

368
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: trading partners in and who's living with whom, but it's

369
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: they all live with each other at some point. Even

370
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: Ross moves in with the guys at some point, So

371
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: it's it they just trying to get everybody into these

372
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: two sets.

373
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: Well, what I love is that, as much as you know,

374
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 4: it feels like there's so much going on in this episode.

375
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: We're only in two sets.

376
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: The whole tome.

377
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just conversation.

378
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: It's just great character based.

379
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: It's beautiful set, it's big, and it's deep, and it's

380
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: just it would be wonderful to shoot on that.

381
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 2: I know, there's places for them to go where they

382
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: can still be kind of in the scene where you

383
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: can imagine that they either could or could not overhear

384
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: what's going on if they went up that hallway, the kitchen,

385
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: you can imagine conversations going on in there, and then

386
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: the living room by the TV. And there's places to go,

387
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: there's lots of places to sit. There are so much stuff.

388
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: It's also really crammed full of things, which doesn't make

389
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: it feel overwhelming. It just looks full and lived in

390
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: and gives people things to do.

391
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: And every little thing apparently was planned out, like every

392
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: little thing. So when you're in the guy's apartment and

393
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: they shut the door, there's an etch a sketch on

394
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the back of the door that always has a different

395
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: picture or a message. And apparently there was a person

396
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: that was hired at like two or three thousand dollars

397
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: a week whose entire job was just to come in

398
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: and change that etch a sketch.

399
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 4: Ever.

400
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: Really, wow, Yeah, that's cool.

401
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: Well, I have to say, it's like one of the smallest,

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 4: geekiest things. But the fact that the couch is sideways

403
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: is amazing because think about it, every sitcom, the tradition

404
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 4: is the couch faces the audience, and we still do

405
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 4: this all the time. And in this set or in

406
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: the set we enter in the next scene, it's like

407
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 4: it's sideways. It makes such a difference, exactly what you're

408
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: talking about, Danielle.

409
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 3: You have a division. You can have people sitting.

410
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: On the couch instead of one giant room.

411
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: Yes, it's so basic, but it's so good.

412
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 3: And they also almost never they do. There's times they do,

413
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: but very rarely do you go into the bedrooms.

414
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: Occasionally you go into a bedroom, or you go into

415
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Rachel's bedroom, where you go in to Monica and Chandler's bedroom.

416
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: Occasionally you go into the bathroom, but it's rare.

417
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, then Monica walks in. She's happy to

418
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: see everyone. She informs the crew that Thanksgiving will be

419
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: at four o'clock tomorrow. She adds that she invited Will

420
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 2: Colbert from high school, but Rachel doesn't remember him. Monica

421
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: explains that he was in Ross's class. Again, as Will

422
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: mentioned Ross is Monica's older brother and Rachel's baby daddy

423
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: to be. This Will Colbert was in marching band and

424
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: he was really overweight. Monica reveals that back then she

425
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: was his thin friend. This is another famous thing that

426
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: you should know from the show is that Monica in

427
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 2: a flashback from Friends, is revealed to be and it

428
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: was extremely overweight in high school. Despite these clues, Rachel

429
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: still can't place him. She asks, are you sure that

430
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: wasn't your imaginary boyfriend? Monica grins, No, that was Jared.

431
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: She looks off longingly in the distance. Wow, I haven't

432
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 2: thought about him in a long time. So good. She

433
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: snaps out of it and tells Rachel that Will's in

434
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: town for business and had nowhere to go. She also

435
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: mentions that he lost a bunch of weight and looks really,

436
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: really gorgeous. Joey loudly clears his throat with a disapproving look,

437
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: and Monica clarifies, I still love Chandler again. Footnote Chandler

438
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: is her husband and Joey and Ross's best friend. Joey demands,

439
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: wouldn't hurt you to say it once in a while.

440
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: Monica laughs it off and announces she won't be making

441
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: a turkey this year. Joey jumps out of his seat

442
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: and protest, but Monica explains Phoebe doesn't eat turkey. Joey

443
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: then turns his blame to Phoebe, but she stands firm

444
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: turkeys are beautiful, intelligent animals. Joey argues, no, they're not.

445
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: They're ugly and stupid and delicious. Monica assures him it's

446
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: not just Phoebe. Will is still on a diet, Chandler

447
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: doesn't eat Thanksgiving food, and Rachel has an aversion to poultry.

448
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: In this scene, more than any other scene, I really

449
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: felt like Joey is Will.

450
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Will me or Eric No, No, Will.

451
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: Is very smart, but so much of the Joey humor,

452
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 2: both self deprecating and being around food and and like

453
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: so much of it. I'm like, this just is will

454
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: Ford Dell.

455
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 4: I feel like we've actually had this argument because I'm

456
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 4: anti turkey. I'm like, why do we need to make

457
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: the whole meal about this awesome and amazing, totally average

458
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 4: bird that takes so much time? I never understood, like,

459
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 4: let's make Thanksgiving about anything but the turkey? No? Yes?

460
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: I also we should tell everybody out there and you.

461
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: I think you both know this, or maybe you don't.

462
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: The holiday that this show really wrapped itself around was Thanksgiving. Yeah,

463
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: like every year the big episode they did was a

464
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving episode. They didn't really do a Christmas but they

465
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: would occasionally or a Halloween episode, but everybody looked forward

466
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: to their Thanksgiving episodes because they would usually do flashbacks

467
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: or there would be some some kind of thing about

468
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the story that would really unfold. I think the Thanksgiving

469
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: episode is you see Ross and Chandler back in college

470
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: dressed like they're basically in flock of seagulls with the

471
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: hair like.

472
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

473
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: So this was like their big thing on Friends was

474
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving episodes.

475
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 4: Great, I love it.

476
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: Rachel explains that she had to leave the room the

477
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: other day when Joey had roast chicken, but he thought

478
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: it was because he put the whole thing on his

479
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: hand and made it walk across the table. Again. Monica

480
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: says it's not worth the hassle to make an entire

481
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: turkey for three people, but Joey argues, you have to

482
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: have turkey on Thanksgiving. That's like the Fourth of July

483
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: with no apple pie or Friday with no two pizzas again,

484
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 2: this is this is Wilfredll. Monica gives in but tells

485
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: him there's going to be a ton left over. Joey

486
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: shakes his head. He promises he will finish that turkey.

487
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 4: Story set in motion.

488
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: Personally, it's off and running. She just doesn't believe he

489
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: can eat an entire turkey in one sitting, but Joey

490
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: doesn't hesitate. I'm a tribani. This is what we do.

491
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 2: We may not be great thinkers or world leaders. We

492
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: don't read a lot or run very fast, but damn it,

493
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: we can eat.

494
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: There's a great famous blooper from this episode where he

495
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: says we're Tribbiani's we may not be great thinkers or

496
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: good run fast or.

497
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: Good actors because he can't remember his lines. That's amazing.

498
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: Oh that's so good. And then the show intro plays,

499
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: do you guys think this is maybe the most famous

500
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: TV theme song of all time?

501
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. I was trying to get Indy

508
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 4: the opening A Boy Meets World, except they're all dancing

509
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 4: around in front of a fountain. And I was like, oh, oh,

Speaker 4: you do know friends. He's like, yes, he's absorbed it.

Speaker 1: That's not I mean there's some that are pretty famous,

517
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, you'd have to put friends up there.

518
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, And I just love like how young they

519
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: are dancing fountain like, you know, because you're seeing them

520
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: in the contemporary set it and then it keeps going.

521
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: I just it's great, It's okay.

522
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: It's also just so different because we know what that's like. Well,

523
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, we're gonna throw you guys together. We're

524
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: shooting and opening title sequence.

525
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: Just have fun.

526
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 4: You don't dance, you can tell like some of them

527
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 4: are very uncomfortable. Shuffle and then look at the camera.

528
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: Oh hey yeah, just you know those days of shooting.

529
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: It's going to be cold. They're in the fountains. They're

530
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: spitting water at each other's like, come on, you guys,

531
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: jump in the fountain. It'll be great. Yeah, the kids

532
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: want to, kids want to. Yes, we know those days

533
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 3: so well.

534
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: And then we're in Monica and Chandler's apartment. Chandler is

535
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: watching Thanksgiving football while Monica sets the table. She asked

536
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: out loud, isn't it weird to think about how next year,

537
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: at this time there will be a little baby at

538
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: the table. Chandler's head whips around and he frantically examines

539
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: her stomach. She clarifies, Rachel's good to know where you're at. Ben.

540
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: Phoebe walks in, wearing one of her signature Betsy Johnson's

541
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: style bright outfits. She wishes her friends a happy Thanksgiving

542
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: and asks Monica if she needs any help. Monica gladly

543
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: puts her to work. Since Chandler is so invested in

544
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: the football game, She hands Phoebe a pile of napkins

545
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: to fold, but then as a real type a abruptly

546
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: stops her. No, not like that, sweetie, We're not at

547
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: a barn dance. You want to fold them like swans,

548
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: like I showed you at Christmas time.

549
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: That is my wife. We're watching and I'm like, that's

550
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: hug She's like, yeah, I know. I mean it was

551
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: like such a flashback to hey, hey, hi, you gonna

552
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna do the napkins like that this year for

553
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the table, Like you get that.

554
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 3: Kind of like, wow, you're doing it okay at Susan.

555
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phoebe sarcastically says, oh yeah, it just came screaming

556
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: back to me. Monica leaves her to fold the napkins

557
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 2: while she checks on the yams next door at Joey

558
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: and Rachel's apartment. Now alone, Phoebe makes her swans and

559
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 2: asks Chandler how's the game. He smugly responds, I have

560
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: no idea. I'm just pretending to watch the game so

561
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: I don't have to help out with stuff. Phoebe is shocked.

562
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: That is just brilliant. Chandler says, Monica doesn't notice because

563
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: every once in a while he just yells and screams

564
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: stuff at the TV. On cue, Monica walks in and

565
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: Chandler screams at the TV, Hey, wait away, Monica smiles,

566
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: is your team winning, honey? Chandler improvs Oh yeah, Anderson

567
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: just scored again. Then he whispers to Phoebe, there's no Anderson.

568
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: They're so good.

569
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: Laughed out loud.

570
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 4: I did take many times.

571
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: You can't help it.

572
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: It's so good.

573
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: It's just easy, simple character bit.

574
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

575
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: It just kills every time.

576
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 2: Phoebe wants in on this, shells Monica, I don't think

577
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: I can help you. After all, I didn't realize this

578
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: game was on. Monica didn't realize she liked football, so

579
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: Phoebe explains, normally I don't. But she squints at the TV.

580
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay is playing. Monica's surprised you like Green Bay,

581
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: and Phoebe explains, well, it's lonely, like my favorite Bay,

582
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: and then she runs to join the chandler on the couch.

583
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: Then there's a knock at the door and Monica answers

584
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: it to find the brad Pitt on the other end.

585
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: The audience loses their minds, as they should. By the way,

586
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 2: this is like Brad Pitt from Did You Meet Joe Black,

587
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: which is like the hottest Brad Pitt.

588
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: That's ever existed. Sue said the same thing. She's like,

589
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: oh it, it's peak Brade.

590
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: Brad Pit it is Brad Pitt when every person in

591
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: the world would be like, I would leave anyone for him.

592
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would sleep with that guy.

593
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeh.

594
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: And I say that as a fully heterosexual male, I

595
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: would and wake up in the morning be like totally totally.

596
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: Worth it, worth it. They hug and wish each other

597
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: a happy thingsgiving Manica admits, God, will you look so great?

598
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: You must have lost like he cuts her off one

599
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty pounds. Yeah, I'm gonna be in one

600
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: of those Subway sandwich commercials. A joke that does not

601
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 2: hold up.

602
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: No, the only one, maybe, Jared, Yeah, the only one. Now,

603
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: I have a question. As a sitcom actor sometimes you

604
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: notice that film actor. I mean, it's just a different

605
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: way of ask this.

606
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: I know.

607
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: So when he first comes in, some of the jokes

608
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: are a little staccato.

609
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: I was worried, doesn't worry. I didn't feel he's.

610
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: Just gonna through this. But then he nails it, and

611
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 4: he gets by the end of the shaky because they

612
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: gave him great things to do, Like it's perfect. Because

613
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: at first I was like, Oh, they're just gonna talk

614
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: about how he looks, and he's just going to like

615
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 4: walk through this stiffly. But when they gave him the

616
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: motivation of being angry at Rachel, I was like, oh good,

617
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: and he nailed it.

618
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, it started shaky the first cup.

619
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: I thought the same gang. I thought, oh no, he's

620
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: going to be bad. But no, you're right that what

621
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: the change was the minute you knew he wasn't just

622
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: going to be a guest at Thanksgiving. Who was gorgeous

623
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: character him and mouthings.

624
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: Written smoldering, so good.

625
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: Will hands are a pie. It's no fat, no sugar,

626
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: no dairy. It's no good. Just throw it out. Monica

627
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: introduces him to Chandler, who waves and explains, I'd shake

628
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: your hand, but I'm really into the game. Plus I

629
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: think it'd be better for my ego if we didn't

630
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: stand right next.

631
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: To each other.

632
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: Which one, I love that joke just on its face,

633
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: it's a great joke. But two, I love that as

634
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: the director for all the blocking in this, to figure

635
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: out if they did if it said in the script,

636
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: and then they shake hands, and now you have to

637
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: figure out how Chandler gets from here to over there

638
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: and then back over to the couch is a logistical nightmare.

639
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: And so the fact that they had a great, wonderful

640
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: joke to keep him right where he is is just amazing.

641
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 4: And on that tip, by the way, I think I've

642
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 4: mentioned this, the hardest thing to shoot is dinner table scenes.

643
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 4: Like dinner table scenes are the hardest things to direct,

644
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: and this show does it so well well. They had

645
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: to bring cameras into the set in order to get

646
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 4: both sides of the table. I bet you this was

647
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 4: multiple setups, multiple It's a nightmare, and you never lose energy.

648
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: Everything just pops. The acting is great. This is so

649
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: well directed this episode, so.

650
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: The way they incorporated the passing of food into the

651
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: storyline so that it isn't just like unnecessary business so great.

652
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: Monica introduces Phoebe next, who gives a casual hey, but

653
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: when she turns back to the TV, she mouths wow

654
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: and glances up to this guy to congratulate God on

655
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: a job well done. Meanwhile, Will can't help but admire

656
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: how great Monica looks, and she gives him returns with

657
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 2: a similar round of compliments for him. Chandler pipes up,

658
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm watching the game, but I'm not deaf. Will is

659
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: excited to hear that Ross will be joining them for Thanksgiving.

660
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: But when Monica mentions that Rachel Green will also be there,

661
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: he suddenly looks angry. He admits, through grinded teeth, God,

662
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: I hated her. She was horrible to me in high school.

663
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: He lets out a sigh. Well it was a long

664
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: time ago. I'm in a good place. It might be

665
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: fun to see her again. Then he impulsively asks cutny

666
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: cakes or cookies or something.

667
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: He also does the perfect He does the Brad Pitt

668
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: with Ready first years about He goes like, it's like

669
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: that weird head to Brad Pitt headshake that he does

670
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: in all the things.

671
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: It's so great.

672
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: He quickly scolds himself. No will no on the couch.

673
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: Chandler reminds Phoebe they need to scream something at the TV,

674
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: so they both let out some dramatic oh nos and

675
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: come on before Phoebe takes it too far, yelling, damn

676
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: you res reef.

677
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: You burn it, you burn it out.

678
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: Then Joey walks in rummaging through a bag of chips.

679
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: Monica snaps in him, what are you doing? You got

680
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: to save room. You're You've got almost an entire turkey

681
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: to eat. Joey responds, let me explain to you how

682
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: the human body works. Again, This is Will for now.

683
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell you, but someone

684
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: owes you massive royalties, curious residuals for this inspo like

685
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: I have to warm up my stomach first. Eating chips

686
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: is like stretching Triviani's never Get Full. Will chimes in,

687
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: I actually know what you're talking about, and I'm here

688
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: to tell you something. Friend. You can eat and eat

689
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 2: and eat, but nothing will ever fill that void. Joey

690
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: just nods and then turns back to Monica who.

691
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: And here it's a perfect writing to combine to to

692
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: thematically link A and B stories like it's just.

693
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: It's so great.

694
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 4: Well, the B story is ridiculous and so fun, But

695
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: then it still connects.

696
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: It still ties in. Monica introduces him to Will and

697
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: they shake hands. Then Ross walks in and sees his

698
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 2: old friend Will you came man, you look incredible, hot stuff,

699
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 2: hot sup.

700
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: He gives Will a.

701
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: Hug, but then questions his word choice hot stuff. The

702
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: two catch up. Will tells him he's a commodities broker,

703
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: and Ross says that's interesting. Will admits it's not, but

704
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm rich, and then Ross states, I don't think i've

705
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: seen you since Lance Davis's graduation party. Will remembers that

706
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: being such a fun night, and Ross admits it would

707
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: have been more fun if we had gotten in, but

708
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: still real fun. Will remembers how lame they used to be.

709
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: Remember how into dinosaurs we were.

710
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: It's such a good joke, sists exactly.

711
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: Ross is clearly embarrassed she has grown up to become

712
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: a palaeontologist. Will asks, so what do you do now?

713
00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: And Ross immediately changes the subject, and then Rachel walks

714
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: and Will stares at her with the fury of a

715
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: thousand zun's. Ross quickly remembers Will's hatred and asks if

716
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 2: he's going to be okay. Will just continues to stare

717
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: at Rachel. I'll be fine. It's just God, I hate

718
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 2: her Ross, I hate her, and then he crushes a

719
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: few of Monica's fake flowers in the process.

720
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: This is the perfect example of a show that's funny

721
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: from beginning to end without it being.

722
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: Joke joke joke, joke, joke, joke, joke joke joke. Yeah,

723
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: like the whole thing is just funny.

724
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's the comedy is coming from the situation,

725
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: and it's not set up joke, set up joke, set

726
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: up joke, it's just situation after situation that you're giggling

727
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: or laughing the entire time in between waiting for the

728
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: next Joes.

729
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: Yes, it's incredible, totally. I couldn't agree with you more.

730
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: Because the characters are so well developed. Yeah, they're allowed

731
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: to have nuance even though they're they're very clear, right

732
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 4: like it, but like the just think about the layers

733
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: of ross in this episode, right right, Like he's able

734
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 4: to be like hanging with Brad Bitt, haven't but the

735
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: and they were dorky kids together, so they were like

736
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: the losers in high school and that ends up being

737
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: actually the plot reveal later at the dinner table.

738
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: It's so good. It's so good.

739
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 4: It gives everybody like a level of realism that even

740
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 4: though it's completely over the top, Yeah, it never feels

741
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: like it never feels like it's just it's all built

742
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 4: out of what you believe and what you know about

743
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 4: these characters, so that when the ridiculous situation or the

744
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 4: exposure of somebody's secret is.

745
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 3: Revealed, it feels natural.

746
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: It's like, yes, it's been perfectly set up God, it's good.

747
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: It's really good. Ross reminds him that high school was

748
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: a long time ago, but Whill's still obsessing. Look at

749
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 2: her with those yams. My two greatest enemies, Rachel Green

750
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: and Complex CARLOI perfect joke. Then Rachel finally notices him.

751
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: She whispers to Monica, Oh my god, who is that.

752
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 2: Monica tells her that's Will from high school, and Rachel's

753
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 2: shocked she doesn't remember him at all. She admits, Wow,

754
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 2: he's really got that sexy, smoldering thing going on. The

755
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: camera cuts to Will, he still furiously staring her down to.

756
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: Kill her with his eyes, and she's like, that's so sexy.

757
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: Rachel is giddy. Look at the way he's just staring

758
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: at me. I think he's trying to mouth something to me,

759
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: but I can't make it out. Again, the camera cuts

760
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 2: to Will, who's very obviously mouthing I hate you. Monica

761
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: decides to intervene. Dinner's ready. Chandler and Phoebe hop off

762
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: the couch and yell good game, solid effort. Monica asks

763
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 2: them who won, and Phoebe answers Green Bay, while Chandler

764
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: says Detroit. At the same time, Phoebe clarifies the Lion's

765
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: technically won, but it was a moral victory for the

766
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: Green Bay mermans.

767
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: That's right.

768
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: Rachel grabs a glass of water, then finds Will standing

769
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: directly behind her. She introduces herself and he nods, yeah,

770
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: I remember you. She takes the has a compliment and

771
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 2: admits she's having the hardest time placing him, but then

772
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: realization hits did we fool around at Lance Davis's graduation party?

773
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: He shakes his head and responds, you are unbelievable. But

774
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 2: she's still not getting this, and she thanks him.

775
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: Thank you.

776
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: Once again, Monica intervenes. She makes sure Rachel and Will

777
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: sit on opposite sides of the table. Monica sets a

778
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: plate near Joey and uncovers a chicken. Joey scoffs, that's it.

779
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: Even if no one helps me, I'd be able to

780
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: finish that. No problem. At least give me a challenge.

781
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: Monica laughs at him, this is Chandler's chicken. She grabs

782
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: the turkey, which is a bird three times its size,

783
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 2: and plops it in front of Joey. This is the turkey.

784
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: He nervously asks how big is it, and Monica tells

785
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: him about nineteen pounds, He gasps, just like me when

786
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: I was born. Rachel asks the table, would you like

787
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: some yams? Will? He scowls, Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

788
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: Now? Way, I have a question, though she doesn't want

789
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: to make a turkey. She knows it's only for three people.

790
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Why get a twenty pound tree? You can't get a

791
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: fourteen You gotta get the giant one Nica comedy.

792
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: Will I know, I know, I'm familiar, but she doesn't understand.

793
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: As Joey passes the turkey right past her, she complains,

794
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: can we please keep the chicken and the turkey on

795
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 2: the other side of the table. The smell is just yack?

796
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: Will not so subtly coughs typical. Rachel asks what he means,

797
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: and he finally breaks I said it was typical, typical

798
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: of you, Rachel Green Queen Rachel does whatever she wants

799
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: in her little Rachel land. He pretends to flick his

800
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: hair back and the audience loves this. Joey asks again, seriously,

801
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: who is this guy?

802
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: Who is this guy?

803
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Then Rachel pipes up, Sorry, do you have a problem

804
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: with me? Will responds, I don't know, do I do?

805
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: I Phoebe states the obvious, I think you do. Monica

806
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: fills Rachel in, apparently you were a little mean to

807
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 2: him in high school. Will scoffs a litl mean. You

808
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: made my life miserable. Rachel admits I had no idea.

809
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Will huffs, well, you should be screw it.

810
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Bring on the yams. Monica tries to protest, reminding him

811
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: that he's worked so hard, but he screams, yams, you

812
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 2: shad obliges. Will angrily stares at Rachel as he scoops

813
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: spoonful after spoonful of yams onto his plate. Rachel tries

814
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: to apologize for whatever she did to him, but Will

815
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: reveals it wasn't just me. We had a club, the

816
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: I Hate Rachel Green Club. Rachel gasps, so what you

817
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: all just joined together to hate me? Who else was

818
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: in this club? Will lists off the members, Me and Ross.

819
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 2: He proceeds to point at Rachel's baby daddy slash ex

820
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: boyfriend sitting next to him. Ross tells Will no need

821
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: to point, she knows who Ross is. We get a

822
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: nice sitcom cliffhanger commercial break, and then we returned back

823
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: at the table. Rachel's dumbfounded you were in and I

824
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: hate Rachel club. Will proudly answers, yes he was, and

825
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: holds up a hand to high five Ross. Ross politely

826
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: leaves him hanging as Rachel continues to interrogate who else

827
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: was in this club. Ross tells her there was also

828
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: that exchange student from Thailand, but I don't think he

829
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: knew what it was. Rachel asks him, So we went

830
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: out for two years and you never told me you

831
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: were in and I hate Rachel club. Now, Will is

832
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: the shocked one. You went out with her. We had

833
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: a pact, Ross laughs. That was in high school. It's

834
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: not like it was binding forever. Will wonders, then, why

835
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: did it have the word eternity in it?

836
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: I just love this.

837
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 3: I love this so much.

838
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 4: Did you just immediately seen the two of them making

839
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 4: a pledge?

840
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, runs the eternity. I love it so much as

841
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 3: still thinks it's binding.

842
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 2: That's one of the things I love about it is

843
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: that I really do believe there are two different types

844
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 2: of people. Some who believe like my childhood packs are

845
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 2: for that and I would never betray my bestie from

846
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: eleventh grade, and people who are like that means nothing.

847
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: I was a child how have we not moved on

848
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: from this?

849
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 3: These are not legally binding?

850
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: Rachel asks Monica if she knew about this. Monica swear

851
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: she didn't, and asks Ross and Will, is that why

852
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: you guys would go up to your bedroom and lock

853
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: the door? They both nod and say yes. Monica admits

854
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 2: a little relieved. I gotta say not free from the

855
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 2: gay panic gay panic in the nineties.

856
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 3: He's gotta be a twist of gay panic.

857
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: It's everyone just a sprinkling sprinkle, sprinkling phobia and gay panic.

858
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: Ross tells Rachel he's sorry. He starts to explain. The

859
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 2: only reason I joined, Will jumps in, co founded. Ross clarifies,

860
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 2: co founded the club was that I was insanely in

861
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 2: love with you. Obviously I didn't handle it very well,

862
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: but I if you think about it, the I Hate

863
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: Rachel Club was really the I Love Rachel Club. Will clarifies,

864
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: except that it really was that I Hate Rachel Club.

865
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: Rachel has still worked up, So you guys would just

866
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: get together and just like say mean things about me,

867
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: Will boast, So we did a little more than that,

868
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: Ross begs him.

869
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no.

870
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: So phoebe asks what else did you do? Will grinns

871
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: we started a rumor. Rachel wants to know what it was,

872
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: and Ross starts to stammer. Phoebe interjects again, come on, Will,

873
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: just take off your shirt and tell us. So amazing.

874
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: I feel like that was an adlub from her. I like, honestly, yeah,

875
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: I feel like that's something she just said. And I

876
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: don't know why I have that feeling, but I it's a.

877
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: Perfect runner just established that she because at the end

878
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 4: when she hugs.

879
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: It, I know. But also, it's been such a long

880
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: time since she's really like made other than the wow

881
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: and looking up to God like, it's been a while

882
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: since anybody's reminded us that he's very good looking, and

883
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: so the fact that she throws it in there like

884
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: about something else is just so funny. Ross finally reveals

885
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: the rumor was that you had both male and female

886
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: reproductive parts. Rachel is shocked, but Will is loving it.

887
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: He brags, that's right. We said your parents flipped a

888
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: coin and decided to raise you as a girl, but

889
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 2: you still had a hint of a penix. A hint

890
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: of a penis is She's the perfect way of describing

891
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 2: it is something that you wanted to start as a rumor.

892
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 3: It's just such a great band name. Hint of a penis,

893
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: hint of penis.

894
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: Great. Yeah.

895
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: Rachel's in disbelief, and Monica chimes in, you started that.

896
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: Rachel gasps, you heard that, Monica breaks the news. Everyone

897
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: at our school heard it. Chandler chimes in, everyone at

898
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: my school heard it. You were the hermaphrodite cheerleader from

899
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: Long Island. Rachel covers her face and horror. Oh my god,

900
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: this is all making so much sense to me. Now.

901
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: This is why Adam Carter wouldn't go out with me.

902
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: This is why Billy Tratt would just stay in this region.

903
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: Motioning to her upper half, Ross tries to make her

904
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: feel better. Actually, Billy Trott is gained, so that one's

905
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: not really our fault. Rachel asks Monica why she never

906
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: told her this. Monica says, I thought it might be true,

907
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: and I was afraid that you were gonna cry and

908
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: then show it to me.

909
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: That's a great one.

910
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: Joey intensely stares at her pants, and she smacks him

911
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: on the arm. Stop staring. There's nothing there. It's not true,

912
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 2: Joey responds, I'm afraid I'm gonna need proof, and Rachel

913
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 2: storms out. Later that night, we're in Monica and Chandler's apartment.

914
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: Joey stares at his half eaten turkey and declares, you

915
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: are my everest. Monica assures him he doesn't have to

916
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 2: finish it, but Joey argues, I do otherwise. What's next?

917
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: Today I'm just a guy who can't finish a turkey,

918
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: But tomorrow I'm the guy who eats half a power bar,

919
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: wraps up the rest and puts it in the fridge.

920
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: Funny joke. Ye, He realizes he just needs to change

921
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 2: his pants. Jeans have no give?

922
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 3: What was I thinking? Jeeves have no give?

923
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: Again? This is so Will Like, I can totally imagine

924
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: going to Will and Susan's house for Thanksgiving and Will

925
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 2: being like, I've got my stretch your pants on, like

926
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: I It's perfect, It's true.

927
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: Uh.

928
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: He walks out, just as Rachel comes storming in with

929
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: her yearbook in hand. She announces to everyone, listen to

930
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: what Sean McMahon wrote in my yearbook Senior year. Dear Rach,

931
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: you're such a great person, not girl person. Ross rolls

932
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 2: his eyes. I think you're reading a little too much

933
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 2: into it. She reads the rest of the message to

934
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: prove him wrong. Dear Rach, you're a great person. Sorry

935
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: about your teeny weeny. Will loves it, but Ross asks her,

936
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: what do you want me to do? You want me

937
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: to call everyone in the entire school and tell them

938
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't true. She says yes, and Will buts in,

939
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: could you also tell them I'm skinny now? And Monica

940
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,399
Speaker 2: jumps in, oh me too. Ross says he isn't calling

941
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: anyone because it was like a million years ago, but

942
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 2: Rachel doesn't care. She reminds Ross, I never did anything

943
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: to hurt you in high school. Monica can't stand by

944
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 2: without saying something, well, that's not entirely true. You did

945
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: start that rumor about Ross making out with missus Altman,

946
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: our fifty year old librarian. Ross stands up and shouts,

947
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: how did you know that this?

948
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 4: Which is such a great turn, like the fact that

949
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 4: he get angry that.

950
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: It was revealed and it's her section though this whole

951
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: random story is so perfect because.

952
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 2: She's fifty and by the way, by the way, apparently

953
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 2: it was just a thing in the nineties that teachers

954
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: hooked up with students, and it was not at all

955
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: a problem for the teacher. It was looked at as like,

956
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 2: what was wrong with you child? Yeah, it's like.

957
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: It's also because if it wouldn't.

958
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: Have worked in the opposite gender, if it was one

959
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: of the if it was one of the women. Yeah,

960
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean talking about me when she was sixteen making

961
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: out it with a fifty year old teacher, a guy,

962
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't have hit the same way. Yeah, raw,

963
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: different times, different times, different times.

964
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: I know it's on a bump. It's a romp. It's

965
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 2: a it's an illegal romp. Monica is shocked.

966
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: Statutory romp.

967
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 4: Statutory romp is brilliant.

968
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: It's absolutely brilliant. Monica is shocked it's true. Then Ross

969
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 2: unconvincingly tries to deny it. Rachel jumps in, I saw

970
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,959
Speaker 2: you guys going at it behind the card catalog. Ross

971
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: stammers at the accusation, and Will cuts in. She also

972
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 2: made out with taka Ki KEHK the night before he

973
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: went back to Thailand. Chandler can't let this go. I'm sorry,

974
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: in high school you made out with a fifty year

975
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: old woman. Ross defends his actions. She didn't look fifty

976
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: Chandler asks, did she look sixteen.

977
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: The way and that delivery just the way? Did she

978
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: look sixteen just the way he did?

979
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: Is so ough? It's gorgeous. I know.

980
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: He does do things with an offbeat that just makes

981
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: you love them because they don't hit the rhythm the

982
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 2: same way, and it just it does. It stands out.

983
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 3: It's so good.

984
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 2: Rachel realizes there's a picture of her in the yearbook.

985
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: She shows everyone and they collectively get asp Ross explains

986
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: she didn't photograph well. Chandler ads, well, she probably wasn't

987
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: familiar with the process, having spent most of her life

988
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: sitting for oil painting.

989
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 4: Yes, she is my age fifty is it's insane. But

990
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 4: this whole set of jokes, it just kills.

991
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: When it rains. I was like, you know when it

992
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 3: was down down brilliant.

993
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it's so good. And we haven't left

994
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 4: this set.

995
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 3: We have not left this set.

996
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 4: We will not leave this set. No, like, we do

997
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 4: not need much more than just funny people. Oh my god,

998
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 4: it's so good.

999
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 2: Phoebe wonders, how did this happen? Did she lure you

1000
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: to an early bird dinner? Ross says, I was working

1001
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: late in the library one afternoon. It was just the

1002
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 2: two of us. She needed some help with her word jumble.

1003
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: Everyone watches on and they're all very clearly trying not

1004
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 2: to break. Ross continues, and one thing led to another.

1005
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: If you must know, Anita was very gentle and tender.

1006
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: May she rested bees. Monica questions didn't she walk with

1007
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: a cane? Ross shouts only when it was damn. He

1008
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 2: is disgusted by Rachel. I can't believe you told people

1009
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: about this. Everybody knew. He looks at Will and declarre's

1010
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm back in the club. He gives Will an overly

1011
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: enthusiastic high five, and Phoebe raises her hand. I want

1012
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: to join. Rachel can't believe this. Phoebe explains, I'm sorry,

1013
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: but I never got to be in a club. I

1014
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: didn't get to go to high school. But three of

1015
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: us would meet behind a dumpster to learn French bonjour.

1016
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 2: Rachel tells them, fine, you guys can have your stupid

1017
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: little club, But I would just like to say that

1018
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 2: what you did to me is way worse than what

1019
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: I did to you. You gave me a teeny weenie.

1020
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: Will laughs and nods with pride. Monica tries to bring

1021
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: Rachel back to reality. Even with that rumor, you were

1022
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 2: one of the most popular girls in school. Everyone wanted

1023
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: to be like you. One girl wanted to be like

1024
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: you so much she stuffed her pants with a Tootsie roll. Jesus,

1025
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: Rachel's touched, Monica tells Ross, and if it weren't for

1026
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 2: Rachel's rumor, no one in high school would even have

1027
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 2: known who you were. She put you on the map.

1028
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 2: Ross argues as a romancer of the elderly. Monica admits

1029
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 2: that missus Altman was the kind of woman where you

1030
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 2: could tell she used to be pretty. He remembers the

1031
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 2: eyes they did still sparkle. Monica reminds him of the

1032
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 2: bigger picture. This was way in the past. You've been

1033
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 2: through so much since then, and right now you've got

1034
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: so much more important stuff going on in your lives.

1035
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: Can't you just let this go? Rachel and Ross realize

1036
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 2: Monica's right. Ross adds, I mean we are having a

1037
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: baby together. Will is shocked. Hold On, you got her pregnant?

1038
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 3: I love that.

1039
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 2: Hold On, Ros says yes, and Will asks are you

1040
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 2: getting married? Ros says no, so Will smirks you knocked

1041
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: her up, But you're not going to marry her. He

1042
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: holds his hand up for a high five. Again. Dude

1043
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: Ross doesn't participate in the celebration, so Will looks around

1044
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 2: the room. Anybody. Phoebe jumps up from the couch. Okay,

1045
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 2: she gives him a long hug in size. It's exactly

1046
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 2: how I imagined it would be. Joey storms in, wearing Phoebe's

1047
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 2: maternity pants. Where's that turkey? Phoebe explains those are her

1048
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: maternity pants, but Joey argues, no, no, these are my

1049
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving pants, and he shows off the stretchiness and once

1050
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 2: again takes his seat with the bird. Then we're in

1051
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: the tag Monica and Chandler's apartment later that night. Joey

1052
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: victoriously sets his fork down next to the fully devoured

1053
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: turkey and wipes his forehead. Ah, here come the meat sweats.

1054
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 2: Monica hands him a towel. We're all very proud of you.

1055
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 2: Chandler adds, yes, I believe we can expect to call

1056
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 2: from the President any moment now. Phoebe asks if there's

1057
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 2: anything they can do for him, and he says no,

1058
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: just nobody press on my stomach. Rachel tells him he

1059
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 2: can keep the pants behind him. Monica's wrapping up some

1060
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 2: pie leftovers and Joey perks up. What do you got there?

1061
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 2: Is that pie? Monica laughs, yeah, you want some? He responds,

1062
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: just cut me a little sliver. Monica goes to cut

1063
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: him a piece, and he insists, not a little bigger.

1064
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: She makes the cut a little larger, but it's not enough,

1065
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 2: he insists, a little bigger. Why are you afraid you're

1066
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 2: gonna run out? Come me a real peace?

1067
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 3: You're a real peace.

1068
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: My god, what an amazing episode. It's just like barely

1069
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 4: any resolution, I don't care. So much fun and so

1070
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 4: much fun.

1071
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 3: Thing that's amazing is most of them are like this.

1072
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: I know, the vast majority of Friends episodes are this good.

1073
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,919
Speaker 1: They really are. It's the writing is so top notch.

1074
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1075
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so fun.

1076
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: Now, why couldn't.

1077
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: A show exactly like this work? But everyone's in their

1078
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: late forties and fifties?

1079
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, because those people share apartments.

1080
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like somebody's divorced, you know, obviously somebody

1081
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: would be divorced. Somebody is the bachelor who's been a

1082
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: bachelor now he's fifty one. There's so many ways to

1083
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: do this over again. You just have a good writing team,

1084
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: because god, the writing is so.

1085
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: Perfect it is, it's so good. It's the thing that

1086
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 2: makes it work. I mean. Also the fact that the

1087
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: casts chemistry, like writer said.

1088
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: Is just insane, and apparently they were like according to everybody,

1089
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: the six of them were thickest thieves the entire time

1090
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: they shot the show. It was never like this one

1091
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: person was getting too big for their bitches, or this

1092
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: person wanted more.

1093
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 3: It was they were together.

1094
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: As a unit the entire time. They always renegotiated together.

1095
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: They were I mean, it was no egos on the set.

1096
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you had people that were blowing up on

1097
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: the show at the time. You know, Matthew Perry was

1098
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: going off and doing movies. Jennifer Aniston was going off

1099
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: and doing movies. It would have been so easy for

1100
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: the egos to come in and destroy this entire set,

1101
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: and apparently it just never happened. They were first and

1102
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: foremost all about their friends and doing the show.

1103
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 3: And that's amazing. It shows so cool.
