Anticipation for The One with Frank Jr.
00:00:51
Speaker
um this This week, it is The One with Frank Jr. I've been looking forward to this immensely when I was looking through the list of what was coming up. It's it's a good and in my book. i' I'm excited to talk about it.
00:01:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's... um i I don't know. I'm excited to talk about it because... um yeah There are bits and pieces of this that I do remember, but a lot of it that I did not.
00:01:21
Speaker
so Well, I'm excited to get stuck into it. I've got, let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, just nine questions, a modest amount of questions, I feel.
00:01:31
Speaker
Wait, how many? Nine. Nine? Nine. Okay, hang on. I did number mine, and I always number mine. 18 17, 17, 17, 18, 17, 17, 17, 18, 17, 18, 17, 18, 17, 18, 17, 18, 18, 18, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
00:01:45
Speaker
seven, eight. And then I've got that I, they're kind of, I don't know. was a little unfair on a couple of these questions, but you got this. It's going great. Bring Bring it. I'm all, I'm all for it. I love it. All right. Good, good. Haley helped me with these. So.
00:02:08
Speaker
I love it. Well, if you've got eight plus two, that'd put you at 10. So that would really mean you're going first. feel like we're going to have some that overlap though. Probably. I i will ah be ladies first. Yes.
00:02:22
Speaker
Indeed. Yes. All right. In the boys apartment, what picture is on the door by the bathroom? in the boys' apartment. And I have never noticed this picture before, which it was very random, and that's why I noticed it. But it's big, it's large, and noticeable.
00:02:44
Speaker
So it's funny you mention this. I do not know the answer. But I do remember seeing it thinking, I haven't seen that picture. If it's the if I'm thinking of the right picture. I'm sure it is. Is it kind of black or dark?
00:02:59
Speaker
Mm-hmm. It's got a back of our a dark background. Right. And I remember thinking, I've not seen that before. If I had all the time in the world, as um I think I've mentioned this before, i wish so I'd love to do it. I wish somebody would go through the decor of the, really, the boys' apartment in Central Park, I feel, changed the most. But maybe they don't. Yeah. But I remember thinking, I've not seen this before, but I do not remember what it is.
00:03:25
Speaker
It's a giant ice cream cone. Like a soft-serve ice cream cone. It's just random. Yeah. Yeah. They do change. Every couple of episodes, the artwork seems to change. Yes.
00:03:39
Speaker
But that Laurel and Hardy picture has been there consistently for a lot, a lot, a lot of episodes. Yes. Some of them like that stick around in. There's one with an old boxer. Yes. Yes.
00:03:54
Speaker
You know, and that kind of, ah to me, is a prominent one. But no, I did not remember the ice cream cone. Yeah. all right. Well, that's okay. It's okay. It's okay. You're going to get us off the mark here. Because I'm going to ask you, who is the designer that makes Joey's work pants, the tight jeans?
00:04:12
Speaker
Okay. It's Sergio and then Valenti. Sergio Valente. Okay. I was going to Google it. didn't Google was going to see if that was a real guy. sound I'm guessing it's made up. but Do you think? I don't know. I think it might not be.
00:04:29
Speaker
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see. Let's see. It is a ah a well-known American denim brand famous for its designer jeans in the 80s. There you go. Especially for juniors and women.
00:04:44
Speaker
Whoops. That makes it even the joke even better. I love it. Yeah, but he's an Italian italian designer.
00:04:56
Speaker
that That's funny. I love it. I love it. and We're five four five minutes in. Every day is a school day. We just learned something. There you go. There you go. And ah said with a terrible Italian accent, which is fine. It's fine. All right.
00:05:15
Speaker
So what two things did Frank Jr. want to do while he was in the city? That is my question, too, for you. He wants to go to Times Square to get ninja stars, but his friend Larry wants him to take a picture of a hooker. There you go. Yes, yes.
00:05:32
Speaker
I love that so much. I really do. Yeah. All right, well, my next question for you is going to be, what year does Monica suggest Joey is going to in those jeans? 1982? Indeed it is. Yes.
00:05:50
Speaker
The year after I was born, 1982. Well, baby. yeah Baby. The baby of the group. Well, I would say the baby of the group, but Hayley is sitting near you. That that is true. that She is the baby of the group. Hayley is the baby.
00:06:05
Speaker
Haley's the baby. i think She has no idea what's happening right now. because i love that. Because you can only hear my talk and she has no idea what you're saying. so that's
Expanding Online Presence with TikTok
00:06:15
Speaker
awesome. Maybe randomly through this episode, you should just say things like Haley would probably disagree or Haley did that just to see her reaction.
00:06:25
Speaker
Yes. I suppose we should maybe say now, we should tell listeners, Hayley has been, ah you know, aside from being an awesome friend to us both, has made some of our Purple Door merch that you and I have worn and is going to be taking over the TikTok because I don't really know how to TikTok. And we need to grow our our our online presence over there. So she being young and hip is going to show us how it's done. Now, Hayley may disagree with you on that. i see i just Ah, But she's just nodding her head. But she wouldn't really. So if you happen to be listening to this and on TikTok, go give us a follow, a like, whatever is you do over there. Hayley is going to be creating some awesome content for us. Yes.
00:07:11
Speaker
Yes. All right. Let's see. It's your turn. No. No? didn't know Oh, yeah. You asked me. nineteen it Yep. Just kidding. All right.
00:07:21
Speaker
What two different band shirts does Frank Jr. wear? That is my question. Six. i knew we you You called it. We'd have crossover. Motorhead and Anthrax. There you go. Yes. yes nice All right. All right.
00:07:40
Speaker
Let's see. um In this episode, when does Phoebe say her birthday is? February
00:07:50
Speaker
sixteenth You got it. Look at you go well remembered. Apparently there's a as some discrepancy there. She says it's another time. in i googled it. I was just saying, is that consistent? But in this episode, she does say February sixteenth Man. Okay. All right. Yeah.
00:08:10
Speaker
Well, let's listen for, ah yeah. I wonder when another time that we talk about her birthday is. Yeah, it's ah it's at some point, she says it's in October. i Apparently, I did a quick Google. oh I didn't go any farther than that. But February 16th for the sake of this episode. There you go. And then I can also tell you Frank's birthday, in case you were wondering. Well, that was going to be the next question on my end. how would you like me to go ahead and tell you? It's October 25th.
00:08:40
Speaker
It is indeed the day before Kate's, which is quite That's right. And three days after mine. Oh, there you go. That's right. It's right there, right around. Okay.
00:08:51
Speaker
What color is Monica's tea kettle? This question is courtesy of Haley because she would like one for her apartment. Okay. I have no idea. So I'm just going to think about how decor wouldn't be purple because other stuff is purple. I'm going to go with red. Ooh, that's a good guess, but very wrong.
00:09:13
Speaker
Oh dear. Right. a Good guess, but terrible. Terrible. Yes. Well, good guess, but, you know, a different primary color. Yellow. Yellow.
00:09:25
Speaker
ah We just did some ah some New Year's, you know, cleaning out of the house, took lots of things to charity. And one of those things was a red kettle. oh so i So I went with red. We had two kettles. We don't need two kettles.
00:09:37
Speaker
Yeah. My mom has a red kettle. She sure does. I have zero any color kettles. So I i yeah i don't i don't know.
00:09:50
Speaker
It's ah it's ah it's a definitely a discrepancy between the UK and the US. Everybody in the UK has a kettle. You couldn't have a house without a kettle. And yet people here make tea without a kettle, which is a very odd thing. We use our kettle every day.
00:10:06
Speaker
Huh. See? Hmm. Yep. I wonder if I would make tea more if I had a kettle. I think you might. I think, i think. Haley does not think so. Haley does Doesn't think so. You know, my morning routine is firing up the coffee maker for Kate and I, but then I make tea for her to take to work.
00:10:27
Speaker
So the kettle gets used every morning. At minimum once a day to make her tea. Yep. no I'm a, we're wearre coffee. We want some coffee.
00:10:39
Speaker
Coffee every morning. couple A couple of mugs of Joe. That's it. Mm-hmm. All right. Oh, we're off track. is who we Not to be confused with Joey. No, no I've forgotten who asked the last question already.
00:10:53
Speaker
yeah It was me. I asked you the about the tea kettle. and That's right. That's right. All right. Well, my one for you is, and I suspect you might have thought, huh, Al's going ask that. What is the name of the establishment where Phoebe works?
Trivia and Coffee Orders
00:11:09
Speaker
Oh, man. It's... a is that my Is that on my end? That is a dog on your end. It was dogs on my end, and now it's a dog on your end. Okay.
00:11:21
Speaker
I think. All right. um um Oh, it's it's something hands. It is. It is. There's some alliteration going on.
00:11:34
Speaker
Happy hands? Healthy hands? No, but keep going. You're going to get it. Oh. what Because it's it's it's to do with being a masseuse and rectifying the issues that people might have.

00:11:59
Speaker
Healing hands. Healing hands. Healing hands. Yes. All right. Awesome. Yeah, I got stuck on that h sound. and Right. And I was wrong. All right. So who in Phoebe's family can roll their tongue? This question was also courtesy of Haley. Good question, Haley.
00:12:21
Speaker
He says good question, good question. So it's going to be... Is it is her a mother? Yes. It's her mom. All right. Oh, and?
00:12:34
Speaker
Oh, and is her mom. Let's go mom and grandmother. ah And her her half-brother. Oh, of course. Of course. That's I was overthinking it Yes. That's yeah right. You're good. You're good.
00:12:49
Speaker
All right. Let's at course. Thank you. All right. My second last question for you is what is the name of Phoebe's client that she has to go and see? Oh, dang.
00:13:00
Speaker
It's Mr...
00:13:05
Speaker
whippen yeah whippen you're not a million miles away so it's that kind of length of name and is it jasmine i think her co-worker well she's the next question for you oh well in the massage place that frank touches her fanny what's her name that's right uh mr what whippenheimer and Miffler. Miffler. Oh, well, there you go. Miffler, Whiffler.
00:13:34
Speaker
Yes. um Okay, this one is a little unfair. Okay. It'll be fine. You got this. All right. What is the freak in the coffee shop's drink order?
00:13:49
Speaker
That's a great question, and I remember thinking I should write that down, and I didn't. So he's gonna it's it's going to be, I'm going to guess, just a couple of components. Soy milk, cinnamon, and extra foam.
00:14:05
Speaker
No, no foam, actually. No foam. Oh, the opposite. No foam. Half-caff, double tall, easy hazelnut, no fat, no foam, whip-whip, extra hot latte.
00:14:19
Speaker
that Which is wild to me that Rachel would have remembered that. Yes. Because no, she wouldn't have. No, given that i mean even a top tier veteran waitress would struggle with that. And we all know that her heart's not really in it. I want to just point out, because you would not know this because my camera is facing me, but I just watched Haley as I was listing that all off.
00:14:47
Speaker
She's counting it on her fingers to make sure that she remembered what it was. She may have missed a calling there. I don't know. Maybe a new career for Haley is calling. Haley may disagree with that one.
00:15:02
Speaker
She probably will. She probably will. Poor old Haley. She's to have to listen back to this to see what we're talking about. Or not. And she can just always wonder. It'll be fine. Indeed.
00:15:15
Speaker
Well, my last question for you is, what does Ross ask Rachel to hold so he can talk to Isabella Rosalini? Oh, his crawler. i don't know what. I know it's a type something to with a donut. I don't know what it is. it's not. That's a cruller.
00:15:32
Speaker
Okay. We have had a whole conversation about this. I thought we had. we have. But it's a crueler because we talked about that from Wayne's World whenever we were talking about that. Yes. Okay. But this is a crawler. And a crawler is a very robust coffee drink.
00:15:55
Speaker
if There's also a company named um like Crawler, but they're not they're out of Chicago. So they're not tied to that. But I Googled it because I was like, what in the heck? What in the heck? Help me out here.
00:16:10
Speaker
And so, yeah. And it can have like nut, it but it's a very robust flavor. But it's got like almonds or different kinds of nuts and things in it.
00:16:22
Speaker
to like make it whatever, or it has a citrus flavor, but it's just a very specific kind of flavor of coffee.
Theater Experiences and Movie Screenings
00:16:33
Speaker
Well, let me tell you, I'll tell you quickly what Kate and I are starting tomorrow. I'm not one for New Year's resolutions per se, but something she and I have decided we are doing in 2026 is visiting every independent coffee shop in Denton where we live.
00:16:50
Speaker
Oh, that's fun. We've got a list of, it's about 25 or so. And, you know, that may change throughout the years as businesses is open and close. You know, we're not including your Starbucks, your Dutch Bros, all those. one those ah Those don't count. It's all the ones that are independently owned and and primarily serve coffee.
00:17:09
Speaker
So we are going to a first, and we haven't quite decided where, but we're doing our first one in the morning. That's so nice. So maybe I'll need to see if any of them have this. How did you pronounce it? Crawler?
00:17:20
Speaker
Crawler. Crawler. Like something crawling along the ground? Like creepy. Creepy crawler. Creepy crawler. I'm going to have to look out for that on our our adventures. Yes. That's so fun. Okay.
00:17:33
Speaker
Who did Isabella Rossellini get bumped for Ross's list?
00:17:40
Speaker
That was Winona Ryder because she's local. There you go. Yes. Which is so weird because Dorothy Hamill, I don't know. Like, I know they made a joke, but like, come on.
00:17:55
Speaker
Right. don't know. Maybe, i don't know. Whatever. I do quite like the way Ross does it Local. Like she's going to be like in a four block radius all the time. Right. Right. Right. Well, and I had to look up who Isabella Rossellini was.
00:18:12
Speaker
i don't I know her from this episode. That's all I know. Okay. Well, she was in ah Death Becomes Her, which I was like, oh, okay. Like I... i I know that movie.
00:18:26
Speaker
Right? Right. But ah she was also, she played Julia Childs in ah like an ah a series. I can't think of what. um Was it the biopic, like the movie about her? Which I think was just called Julia, right? Yeah, it sure was. It sure was, yeah.
00:18:47
Speaker
um And then Blue Velvet, but I had never heard of that movie and I looked it up and I was like, what is that? ah But yeah, she was she was in stuff, you know, here and there and everywhere. But um Death Becomes Her, the original one with Goldie Hawn and ah that other chick, the blonde chick.
00:19:10
Speaker
um That was the one that I was like, oh, okay, I remember that movie. That movie was funny, but like she was not a standout character. So very interesting choice of people to have on a list, in my opinion. Julia Childs is one of those people. i just know she was before my time, but she was a TV chef, right? Yes. Or or cook or chef or something. But I think she if i' i think I'm right in saying she's got a really interesting backstory. Like she was ah a code cracker for the army when she was in her early 20s or something. Oh, that's fun.
00:19:45
Speaker
Yeah, something something really kind of cool like that. um I might have the details wrong, but she was, I swear, involved in some sort of espionage for the army or something.
00:19:58
Speaker
Wow. See, I don't know anything at all about Julia Childs either. Yeah, that's the only thing I really know. and When was she on the TV? Was it in like the 70s and 80s, or have I got that wrong? I have no idea. i just knew I had heard of Julia Childs and Isabella Rossellini was in Julia.
00:20:18
Speaker
Gotcha. know But another thing that she was in was Merlin, which was in the 90s. And it was like a miniseries. And I loved that miniseries. i have no idea who she was, though.
00:20:33
Speaker
Nice. Well, there's definitely, we'll kind of get into There's some interesting crossover with ah with a few of the people on the list. um Which I find kind of interesting. We'll get into that when the lists are revealed. Okay. um Yeah, but we need to talk about those lists. because Definitely. Because I don't necessarily agree. But then some of them I 100% So...
00:20:56
Speaker
so I'll be interested to find out. Now, do you have any more questions for me? ah oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay, good. No, no, you're good I'm out, so fire away. Oh, actually, both of my questions were, like, one was Rachel's list and the other was Chandler's list. um so But if we're going to talk about the lists in a bit, then we should talk about the lists later. Let's do it now. I've got Chandler's list certainly in front. Oh, no, there we go. I've got them both here. Chandler's list, Kim Basinger, Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Yasmeen Bleeth, which if I ever see that name, which isn't very often, I have to in my head, I say it the way that Chandler says it later on, where he goes, how could anybody not love Yasmeen Bleeth?
00:21:40
Speaker
Or maybe that was, yeah you know, maybe before. Yes. Whenever they're talking about, yeah about Baywatch. Right. yeah why Yes. And I feel like these have to be in no particular order because I feel like Yasmeen Blythe would be at the very top of his list.
00:22:01
Speaker
Absolutely. yeah Sorry, my dogs are going nuts I'm not sure what's going on, but we'll see if that gets picked up in the recording. and there are Did anybody tell them that Jessica Rabbit is a cartoon?
00:22:12
Speaker
i Yeah. Well, I guess Monica does, right? Because he wants to see her eyes can pop out her head or something. Yes. Oh, man. Okay, did you ever see whenever... Oh, God. What is the lady who does the amazing Halloween costumes?
00:22:30
Speaker
And she was Jessica Rabbit one year. oh my God. Hayley, what is that girl's name? The movie star who does... as She was married to Seal.
00:22:42
Speaker
Heidi Klum. Yes, Heidi Klum. Heidi That's exactly who it is. And she was Jessica Rabbit one year, and she looked like a cartoon. Like, it is the weirdest, coolest Halloween costume. I'll need to Google that. halloween costume Yeah. Well, do you know why Jessica Simpson, as Jessica Simpson, good Lord, Jessica Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit has an interesting tie to Friends. Yeah.
00:23:09
Speaker
And to Chandler in particular. oh Oh, I was thinking that the voice of Jessica Rabbit yes is, I thought it was the girl that sang the song with Phoebe, but no.
00:23:26
Speaker
No, it is Kathleen Turner. Who plays Chandler's dad. and ya Okay. Oh my God. And Kathleen is in it Kathleen Turner. Is that the blonde in death becomes her?
00:23:43
Speaker
No, i don' not it's not. It's not. It's not. I don't really know Death Becomes Her. Meryl Streep. I lost my mind. ah Don't mind me. All right. Well, let's think. I'm sort of going through all of this. um Rachel's List, JFK Jr., Chris O'Donnell, yeah Sting, Daniel Day-Lewis, and a hardy boy called Parker Stevenson. Okay, so we had to look up Parker Stevenson and I was telling Haley this. I was like, Chris O'Donnell, that's the same, like, Joshua Jackson. like Since I was young, like, and I feel like I've grown up with him and they they are both very attractive men.
00:24:25
Speaker
Right. and So Chris O'Donnell, okay, because remember he was Robin and Batman, ah batman was it Returns?
00:24:36
Speaker
But he was, anyway, he was Robin, Batman and Robin. I'm so silly, but he was Robin and, and Chris O'Donnell. He's so cool. John F. Kennedy Jr. He's, he's a very handsome man.
00:24:49
Speaker
Right. Daniel Day Lewis. Right. Oh, that movie, Last of the Mohicans. Yes. Sting. He can sing. He's handsome. But then Parker Stevenson. I was like, who is that? Who even is that? A Hardy boy. What are you talking about? He's a star from like the 70s and he's a nice looking guy with floopy hair. like Interesting. But I was like, that seems so random. madam It just seems very... It's an interest. and I wonder if there's some connection. Because between the Chandler's list, Rachel's list, and Ross's list, there's quite a few connections to friends. Yes. Throughout the series, which i i you know Sting ahha is you know gets featured. because Well, he's not on it, but Phoebe meets Sting's wife.
00:25:38
Speaker
Right. um I got Winona Ryder ends up playing Rachel's sister. um Not sister. Sorry, not sister. um Her college roommate when they she claims they kissed and they didn't Yes. And then Susan Sarandon does scenes with Joey.
00:25:58
Speaker
Yes. Yes. her slap. So those are the ones I kind of caught. She plays Jessica. Yes. Oh, that's it. Jessica. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So between that and then... um You know the Jessica Rabbit, Kathleen Turner. There's quite a few interesting kind of connections that popped up to me from these lists. Yes.
00:26:18
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. But we'll um we'll see. um Yeah, we'll talk about Ross's list. haven't mentioned that one yet, but that'll come up. Yeah. but Let's see, we we start off in the boy's apartment. i i don't know why. i adore this B-plot of this entertainment unit. i Where he's being an Andy man. I just, I love it. Although I've got to say, in this first scene, i thought of your good husband as I was watching this opening scene. Because you Joseph Wilson is a handy chap.
00:26:54
Speaker
Yes, he is. right Yes, he's a handy chap. he can He can put things together, take them apart, repair the odd things, robotics, all sorts of stuff. The amount of wood in Joey's apartment, 99% of that wood does not get used, would not get used in this project.
00:27:12
Speaker
Where did it all come from? Why did he bring it all in? Like, what happened? Yeah. Well, and that's what Chandler says. What happened? Yeah, Forrest ticked him off.
00:27:23
Speaker
Like, it's all these two by fours, and there's there's none of those are used in the final product. Right. so So it's like, I just i thought of of of Mr. Wilson's head exploding, going, what waste of material.
00:27:36
Speaker
Like, this was poor planning. this is This is not good. Yeah. But ah Joey is the term. to date What did he say? A two-day job, Max? No, I think he said one-day job, Max. One day? One day? And how where did he get all this wood? And where did he bring it like bring it up at the stairs? And on what planet is this a one-day job if you've got this much stuff?
00:27:57
Speaker
Right. Like, I don't believe you. I don't believe you. There's just going to be sawdust everywhere. Like, just, it's just calamitous, and and I'm here for it. I think it's fantastic.
00:28:12
Speaker
um But, yeah, I thought good old... our good old um Mr. Willison. So I'm just going to answer Kate. Kate, sorry, Kate just texted me. I think there is a possum outside, which happens fairly frequently. And that's why the dogs are going nuts. Is it running up on your fence? Yet that we've got what we call the possum highway, our back fence. yeah Most nights, while the weather's nice like this, it's not too hot, we sit outside quite often. And we often see you see a possum racing back and forth across the fence. Nice. And I've got ah like a UV light in my camping gear. And she's looking for it. Because if you shine it on a a black light on a possum, it glows kind of pink.
00:28:59
Speaker
Oh. That's a fun fact for you. That's weird. wonder why. Yeah, I'm not sure, to be honest. And actually, Kate told me that, and it's true. ah Car, left hand drawer under the bed. This is thrilling podcasting. There we go. Text answered. There we go. I could have paused it, but why not be authentic and just let the pod run? Why not?
00:29:27
Speaker
Why not? um We end up in we're outside Central Park. Phoebe's waiting for Frank. um He's late. He's always late, even though he's she's met him once. i yeah um but Rachel comes out to okay wait Gunther told her. Oh, tell me. who in your family is always late?
00:29:48
Speaker
She says it's a bit very big sister-y to say. Yes. So who your family is always late? Or is anybody in your family always late? Or have you adopted me? Because I am always late. You are family. Now, there's one person that comes to mind.
00:30:05
Speaker
I don't think they listen to this podcast. We're about to find out. my My wonder, she is a wonderful woman. My mother-in-law. I have two mothers-in-law. Kate has her mother and a stepmom. Kate's mom is one of the nicest, kindest ladies. I will preface this by saying that.
00:30:23
Speaker
But she she being on time can be a struggle. At times. Not always, but at times. But the rest of my family, it's pretty punctual.
00:30:34
Speaker
And um I think we may have talked about this. It doesn't bother me one jot if people are late, like, unless it's super important. If you're going to come over for dinner at 5 o'clock and you show up at 5.20, it doesn't phase me at all. But I hate to be late.
00:30:51
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Throughout my whole secondary school, high school career, five years, you do that ah back in the UK, I was literally never late a single day. It just... Wow. Just bothers me. I'm i'm the guy who's opening up my you know the office in the morning at work.
00:31:08
Speaker
Just don't like... It it sets me up, be but I don't care if other people are. There you go. Okay. Do you have anyone that's that's you notoriously, chronically late in your family?
00:31:21
Speaker
Yes. Everybody. My mom is always late. Joseph Woolison is always late. Fred is late. George is our stickler for time.
00:31:36
Speaker
george Good for George. George, man. And then me, there are often many things that I would just soon not go then show up late.
00:31:47
Speaker
Like, if I'm going to show up late, I'm just not going to go. Because I don't want to walk See, and and Kate's ken got that kind of vein running through. a she She likes to establish her seat, her place, if we're going somewhere that is maybe like general seating.
00:32:05
Speaker
Yes. You know, like one of the greatest things that technology has brought us is being able to book your particular seat at a movie theater for her. Because otherwise we would need to be very early to establish She Likes Her Seat, Her Place. It's a good thing. So now you can book that online. it ah We just show up when the movie starts.
00:32:25
Speaker
Okay, so then let's talk about that real quick because yesterday we were talking about the last movie that we had seen in the movie theater. Yes. And I figured it out. It was Back to the Future. We had gone and seen like whenever they- That's right, yes. In November.
00:32:43
Speaker
Okay, so today we went to the movies to watch the finale of Stranger Things and it was awesome. I did not tell a soul about what time that movie was starting.
00:32:57
Speaker
I did not. Right. i told them we have to leave the house by 8.30. Okay? game Right. I made coffee and I was ready to go at 8.25.
00:33:12
Speaker
Do you know what time we got in the car, Al? I'm going to go with 8.56. Okay.
00:33:23
Speaker
8 And then Joseph gets in the car and he looks at my coffee and he goes, Oh, you caught coffee. And I said, i did.
00:33:34
Speaker
and then I said, don't worry. You can go back inside and get some. And he goes, we don't have time. And I, Oh yes. Yes we do. Because do you know what time the movie started? 10 o'clock. You were a planner. You knew what was going to happen. i knew I was like I had a crystal ball. And I knew that those two gentlemen would not be ready on time.
00:33:59
Speaker
And so we arrived at the movie theater at 9.38. Yeah. nine thirty eight And so we had 22 minutes. I was surprised whenever they printed out our tickets, we got $20 piece for vouchers for the concession stand. So we even had time to go and peruse and decide what to get and to make it to our seats and get to watch like the newbie before they started the previews. is It was a girl glorious, yes. Perfection.
00:34:37
Speaker
i ive ah i have ah I wouldn't say love-hate. That's not the right expression. like I won't go to the movies for a year. And then I'll go and I'll be like, why don't we do this more often? Yes. Like, this is so nice. It's relaxing. Enjoy. There's no distractions. There's no dogs barking like there is throughout this podcast. Same. You know? Mm-hmm.
00:34:59
Speaker
And then we won't go again for six months. Yes. And that's why i have very, um ah very clearly invited myself to the secret movie club.
00:35:10
Speaker
Yes. Because i love it. And man, and like the finale of Stranger Things, it could not have been better. Yeah. Here's an interesting thing on the screen, up on the big screen where I could not be distracted by my phone or by dog barking or by anything. The only thing that was terrible was that at a very, I had to run up and run to the bathroom.
00:35:39
Speaker
And I heard people laugh at me because I was literally running because otherwise if I was at home, I would have paused it. You be you. That's right. Yes. Live your best life.
00:35:51
Speaker
ah So I've got, ah we talked about this. I've got nothing against stranger things. I just haven't jumped on the bandwagon. I haven't watched it, yeah but my kids have and Kate, they watched it home.
00:36:02
Speaker
Now, to be fair, I haven't really heard Kate's review, but basically I'm noticing a trend. People that watched it home thought it was okay. Okay. ah you know, looking at my social media and stuff, but people who saw it in the theater are saying, this is the way to see it.
00:36:19
Speaker
It was so good. It was so good. And I don't know if there's anything in that, but there seems to be a different, uh, different reaction to it. Interesting. Yes. I, I believe that. I believe that wholeheartedly because on our way home, I called Kusa who we had, you know, we, kind of gone through this stranger things journey all together. And, um, and we were talking about it. She had watched it at her mom's that last, last night. And, um,
00:36:53
Speaker
you know, she was poking holes and things and, and thinking, and I'm like, I was just living the experience and having the best time. And, oh God.
00:37:06
Speaker
Yeah. But having all of that up there, there's something about a movie theater and that's the piece is I think you nailed it though, is the, the lack of distraction.
00:37:20
Speaker
Well, it's like Back to the Future. I've seen that in the movie theater guys several times. Right. We could watch it for free on some streaming service here. I've done it. Watch it all it's on. like I'll put on.
00:37:32
Speaker
But the experience of that the the whole thing, going to see yeah even a movie that I know Back to the Future, oh I would dare say almost word for word. But if it's on at the movies, which it seems to be about once a year, they do that.
00:37:46
Speaker
I mean. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. well it seems So good. This year was special because it was the 40th anniversary. Yeah, think so. I don't remember. But but yeah. Oh, gosh.
00:38:01
Speaker
Yeah.
Is David Copperfield Attractive?
00:38:02
Speaker
ah like yeah I like it. Haley's probably going to start yelling at us in a minute because we're 40 minutes in and we've done one scene, I think. Oh, I think Haley would disagree with that.
00:38:13
Speaker
I think so. I'm enjoying this game far too much. She's laughing. yeah Well, let's see. Where are we? Yeah, Rachel, kempm she has to get the cup. Gunther.
00:38:28
Speaker
yeah I was going to ask you what was on that cup, but all I could tell was a tree and I couldn't read the word. So I was like, never mind. I wouldn't have known that to us. I didn't didn't didn't really notice the cup.
00:38:43
Speaker
um Let's see. we we end up We're in Central Park, and this is where the whole list thing kicks off, because Chandler asks if other people think that David Copperfield's cute.
00:38:54
Speaker
Monica says he thinks Chandler's a fox. Is David Copperfield cute? I don't know. Let's see. you know While you're doing that, I'm going to... Yeah, i please continue. I mean... Oh, no, I'm good. The dogs are running in now. his Oh, interesting. I do know who that guy is.
00:39:14
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, he's the magician, right? Yeah, yeah. But, like, very angular. And ah he's very angular and has a very tall forehead.
00:39:26
Speaker
an Interesting. Angular. I like that word. I don't know. I have described people that way today. i don't know what that is. Just an Angular kind of day. Just Angular. I don't know.
00:39:39
Speaker
Well, Janice has the list, and they kind of discuss Chandler's list. Rachel seems to rattle off the list that we've discussed pretty quickly. um Frank shows up. So we get to meet Frank. Yeah.
00:39:52
Speaker
And he he kind of shakes hands with everyone and woe to Rachel and tomon which it to a dork. He is. I love how kind of yeah kind not closeted or closed-minded, naive, just I guess. Just not sheltered, maybe.
00:40:10
Speaker
That's the one. Like, he's never left his hometown kind of thing. Yeah, which is probably accurate because he doesn't live that far from New York City. Like, it seems that even as a kid, like, you would have taken field trips. you Somehow, you would have gotten... But I guess not. i don't know.
00:40:29
Speaker
Yeah, it's one of those things I thought about that. i was like, surely, if you live that close, you go. But... but I think like, ah you know, we live both very close to Dallas and Fort Worth. and I've been to Fort Worth a handful of times.
00:40:45
Speaker
I hardly ever go. And there's stuff to do. yeah you know, there's interesting things. there's that I like it every time I go, but it's so close. I just never go. You know, I've been all over the country, been you know, but not seen a lot of things and in my own backyard, as they say. And actually, that's on our minds. um I'm planning sort penciling and equipment. You gotta go watch. Have you seen the Longhorns, the cattle drive?
00:41:09
Speaker
Never. Yeah. If that's worth going, it um it'll make you feel like a true Texan. Will it now? Yeah, it will. I'll come back with a belt buckle and hat. Kaylee's head over here. just...
00:41:24
Speaker
Next time I see Hayley, I'm showing up in a Stetson. Yes. I think Hayley would like that. I think she might.
00:41:36
Speaker
Poor old Hayley. She'll be all right. She'll be fine. She's going to be fine. Not my to-do list is to get out to West Texas to Big Bend. Have you ever been out to Big Bend?
00:41:47
Speaker
I have, but I was a kid. And that's funny that you bring that up because i've I'm, you know, panicking because Fred's about to be 18 and then, oh my God, and ah all the things that we didn't do that I wanted to do. And, you know, right and then I spiral and and could have a breakdown. ah But we don't want that. One of the things.
00:42:10
Speaker
And then also going to a dinosaur, dinosaur valley. Like we, I don't know why we've not done that. That's a cool place. There's dinosaur. Yeah. The state park is cool. yeah That's worth a visit. And I've been there. Like, I don't know why we haven't ever been there, but I always think about it whenever it is so blasted hot.
00:42:32
Speaker
Like it's just, you know, and wow that's terrible. So, yeah. All right. Anyway, let's move on. Cause I could. Oh yeah. You're good. Um, Let's see. Where are we? I'm sorry. I just moved on my papers right while we were talking.
00:42:49
Speaker
He almost what? He drilled his head. Yeah. You get me, you kill me. get me, you kill me. one thing we didn't discuss in the opening scene was Chandler's door being sawed like the bottom third of it. Oh, he had a big issue with that.
00:43:04
Speaker
Well, the door would swing open, right? Yes. And that's what she said. There's no way it would stay closed. Yeah, no, because what's holding the... Yeah, I agree with Hayley, but it gives us a ah bit of physical comedy gold.
00:43:18
Speaker
Yes. So, yeah yes. Yes. um And then also, why is Joey drilling through the wall? Because I don't think he mounts this thing to the wall. No, he doesn't. So what's what what's happening here, Joey? He's just... I don't think he's quite the craftsman he thinks he might be.
00:43:36
Speaker
and No. um now His dad's a plumber, so maybe he's good at plumbing things. I don't know. I don't know. um Well, he's pretty good at laying tile in a bathroom. Exactly, because he goes over to Monica's dinner. Her bathroom looks great.
00:43:49
Speaker
Yeah, he goes to get beer ends up, you know, tells Monica that the designer tile is on sale. Now, there's no way Monica would have not moved her toilet brush. Right. Right. No, the hamper. It's the hamper that moves. The hamper, that's right, the hamper, the hamper. Yeah, I consider myself middle of the road in terms of cleanliness. I have this clean, you know, normal stuff.
00:44:14
Speaker
I move the things if I'm like mopping the bathroom floor, that the things get moved. Right. There's no way she doesn't move stuff. No, no. Yeah. And ah like there is no way that she would not have noticed that Yeah.
00:44:28
Speaker
I do quite like when he tries to dig up the tile and then just put, that's where he puts the toilet brush just in the middle. of the look Because if that was the boy's apartment, that's probably what they would have done.
00:44:39
Speaker
Yes. And just, just left in there. Well, and then there's a chunk at the end of this um scene that got that got cut that was on mine, but not yours. Really? Okay. What happened?
00:44:51
Speaker
Because, you know, whenever he's ah he sets that over there and she goes, you know, but ah something about the surgeon removing it from his colon. And then yeah he starts yelling at him and she's like, you know, you get me that new floor.
00:45:05
Speaker
and then he's like, i can't. Like, Cheryl will kill me if I don't finish this. And she's like, well, I'll pay you double what he's paying you. he goes he's not paying me anything and then she goes i'll pay her triple i'll pay you triple right and then he stops and he goes hmm and that's how he ends up nice bathroom doing her floor but triple of nothing is still still nothing uh-oh still nothing poor old joey Poor old Joey. He's getting got there. um We end up with Frank and Phoebe. They're in Phoebe's apartment talking about rolling tongues. Can you roll your tongue?
00:45:47
Speaker
Look at you go. Yep. It's not a skill I possess. Oh, I was going to say, can you? Yeah. No, so I think when I was little, I should have had my tongue clipped, possibly.
00:46:00
Speaker
okay. Like, underneath it wasn't. So things like... People can roll their tongues and ah even blowing bubble gum, as we've discussed, it's tricky. Oh, yeah, that's right. You know, people can like tie knots with cherry stems beyond me. and Anything like that.
00:46:16
Speaker
um I still haven't broken. out and It's sitting right here. my friends my ah the What is it? The bubble gum. The bubble yum. It's right here behind me on my shelf. i need to break that out. Yeah, you do. Well, but um okay. Sorry. Go on. No, no, you're fine. but So Phoebe actually can't, but frank Frank's scott he's got something he can do. He likes to melt stuff.
00:46:41
Speaker
um Yeah, he does. He says, like, which art. Oh, yeah, I can melt art. I can melt art. Now, there's something in this scene. yeah Every once in a while, I'm sure everyone on the planet does this. You have a million-dollar idea.
00:46:54
Speaker
You know, if you you're just going to invent this. Yesterday, it was yesterday, two days ago, I said to Kate, I've got a billion dollar idea. And actually, I thought thought this was quite a good one. Fire extinguishers, right?
00:47:07
Speaker
they're They're ugly and they're hidden away. And if you suddenly end up fire in your house, you might not know where your fire extinguisher is because it's hidden away under a sink in the garage or somewhere. So they should make either fire extinguishers that look like and you know something nice in your house,
00:47:23
Speaker
Like they wouldn't be out of place in your living room or something. Or you could knit covers for them and cover them. Or some kind of fire height you fire extinguisher cover. Right. So it could become something in your house. And then it's accessible if you know the kitchen goes up in flames.
00:47:45
Speaker
Huh. Yeah. yeah um And then this episode happened. Maybe it's a sign. Obviously it is. I say do it. I should ken this teaching business and just throw all my chips in in fire extinguisher covers.
00:48:00
Speaker
Yes. That's it. We'll see how that works out. I like it. um Let's see. where Frank's melting the spoon. Phoebe, yeah, she goes to bed because the fumes are giving her a headache and puts the fire extinguisher on the table and he thinks this is cool. He's going to try and melt the end of the nozzle.
00:48:19
Speaker
um We bounce on over to the girl's apartment, which I guess is the next day. We don't really see it, but man alive, i love Frank with the nunchucks on the balcony. yeah Just having the time of his life. She's like, what kind of karate is that? He's just mixed up. He's mixed up. Yeah, he's doing his thing. Like, to have that innocent joy that Frank has with things like that. Like, good on him. Living his best life. Yeah. Okay, and then I laughed whenever he asks for the phone.
00:48:52
Speaker
And she's like, you want to call your mom? in No, I want to melt it. Right. That's right. this is Yeah. Maybe not. Maybe not now. um but Phoebe's kind of upset at how badly things are going. And Monica, good old Monica explains that she and Ross weren't always close.
00:49:11
Speaker
Yeah. And, you know, it took a while for them to get closer. And, you know, there's lots of hope. There's hope for Phoebe
Phoebe and Frank Jr.'s Bonding Moment
00:49:17
Speaker
and Frank. Um, Chandler comes in upset because Joey had left the lid to the varnish on the couch, evidently. And Chandler had sat down at the end of the day take a load off and landed on the varnish lid.
00:49:32
Speaker
Yeah. um But this is where, yeah, Joey's redoing the tile in the bathroom, I think, at this point. And it does. It looks pretty good. He's doing a good job. Laying tile, I've not done it because it's kind of intimidating. You've got get that right.
00:49:47
Speaker
You know, if it's if you mismeasure, you get things off. it's Yeah, i don't I don't really fancy the idea of messing around with tile too much. Yeah. um I don't think don't think that would go well. Yeah. Do you know who would? It's Joseph, my husband. I thought he might. He's done. He did our floors like in our bathrooms.
00:50:12
Speaker
And then he redid our closet. And like, and then in our old house, he did our downstairs flooring. um Yeah. And it's a pain and I hated it.
00:50:27
Speaker
I hate it so much. So much. I hate those things. Nothing but respect for the people with those skills. Yeah. i'm i'm I'm handy with some things. There's some things I'm good at, but I also know my limit, like painting.
00:50:40
Speaker
I'll paint all day, but I need somebody else to do the edges or do the final coat. and Yeah. Because I can put eight layers of paint on the wall and somehow or other there there ends up being like light spots and dark spots. Uh-huh. Things like that. I'll give it a good go. I'm enthusiastic about it.
00:50:57
Speaker
Yeah. um Stuff like that, just not good. But yet, like this week, we had to chop a tree down and rather than call somebody to do it, we just like, oh, we can do this. And it worked.
00:51:08
Speaker
That's about a 35-foot tree. Yeah, nice. It was growing two feet from our house and then going up and over the roof. So the insurance company said, needs to come down. That's far too close to the roof.
00:51:21
Speaker
So we we tied some rope and fired up the chainsaw, and we have more firewood than we know what to do with at this point. Excellent, excellent. yeah That was a fun thing to do. But yeah, tile, good on Joey, knowing how to do tile. Yes. Good on Joseph Woolison, too. Yes, yes. Yes. I wonder if Hayley Lynn Phillips knows how to do tile.
00:51:44
Speaker
I feel like she could. she's i feel like she could. like She is. She is a strong, independent gal. Yeah, she is. If she doesn't know how to do it, she'd figure out pretty quickly. I've got no doubt. She would. Because she can do anything. It's true. Yeah. It's true.
00:52:01
Speaker
It is. all i was going to ask you, when was the last time or have you ever really met a long distance family member in your adult years? like Have you ever had like a second cousin you know that you'd ever met show up?
00:52:16
Speaker
No. No? No. It's pretty boring like that. No. I know everybody in my family. and Right. um Yeah. or I mean, I say that. We'll see. um yeah but okay well i probably i i don't i i could talk about joseph but i won't right okay how about that i i know they leave leave that little teaser out there yeah throw that out there and he won't and he doesn't listen anyway so it's all
00:52:54
Speaker
That'll end up in a cut for our TikTok. Joseph will see that and be like, what the heck is she talking about? What are you on about? Yes. um See, because I had this two years ago. No, just last year.
00:53:09
Speaker
I connected on Facebook with my dad's cousin, who yeah he would see once in a while as a child, like every few years, but then they hadn't seen each other. I think they saw each other a funeral, you know having not seen each other for 30 years, and stayed in loose touch, Christmas cards and such.
00:53:30
Speaker
But we ended up bonding over the football, over soccer. On Facebook, we found each other. um And we were Facebook friends for a couple of years, and then she ended up saying, um I'm going to be in...
00:53:45
Speaker
where What was the original plan? They were in Florida okay last year. And then it was like, oh, it'd be nice to see you, but, you know, Florida's quite far and all of that. Well, this was when there was a huge hurricane heading towards Florida about a year ago. little over year ago. And basically, they the the hotel said, we're shutting down. You have to leave.
00:54:09
Speaker
You know, that everyone's evacuating. So they... um basically said we might be coming to Dallas. Oddly enough, it's she she's a lady in her, let's just say she's retired. Oh, you've gone offline.
00:54:24
Speaker
I'm going to pause this because Wilson's signal has dropped. And Wollison is back. um Yeah, but the cousin and her son, the cousin is, um she's recently retired. Her son is closer to our age.
00:54:40
Speaker
the He went to school with somebody who now lives in Dallas, oddly. Just complete coincidence. So she said, and he's a bachelor with several spare bedrooms. And she said, we're coming to Dallas because it was the the only place they could get a flight to was Austin.
00:54:57
Speaker
the friend drove down, got them, and um they ended up staying there. And then they arranged to stay with Kate's mom, who has a couple of spare bedrooms. So it was odd because was sitting at Kate's mom's house and then saw them walking up the driveway. And i was like, here's my second cousin, third cousin, something like that, who I've never met. Second cousin once removed or All of that. And here they come to stay. And it was the, they are the nicest people. And we had the best time. ah And we ended up going out with Lana and CB and like all sorts of fun things. And, and they just loved Texas. They thought it was the greatest. Like they just. I mean. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:40
Speaker
Right. Pretty cool. So they, they, so that was, it reminded me of that a bit because, and now we're, we've you know stayed in even tighter contact.
00:55:51
Speaker
So it was, ah you know, just reminded me of that, how it can be, it could have been awkward, and but from me, thankfully it wasn't at all. um But they do end up bonding in a very odd way because Phoebe ends up having to go into work.
00:56:08
Speaker
And Frank, he's got the wrong idea altogether. Yeah, he does. Of what she does. But he goes along and thinks he's getting something in addition to a massage, shall we say.
00:56:23
Speaker
then it's quickly put in his place. Yeah, because he touches Jasmine's fanny. Yes. Now, I cannot say that word. It's worth so pointing this out. How should we have any UK listeners that has a different meaning? Oh, no.
00:56:40
Speaker
What's it mean? it it's It's... oh Oh, okay. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. Don't tell me. I don't want to know. I very much apologize. No, no, it said on the show, you are quoting the show.
00:56:54
Speaker
I am, but I didn't know. I'm sorry. And it's understood. No, no, it's not. It's not anything. It's not like a terrible word. It just refers to another part of the anatomy. I just looked it up.
00:57:07
Speaker
There you go. I'm sorry. It's not. What about girls that have that name? How embarrassing. Right. tering Yes, yes, yes. It means a bottom or rear end here in the United States. It does indeed. It does indeed. Yes. Which would be understood to our fellow Brits who might be listening because it it's used in American shows and things all the time. dead right now. Oh my God. Every day's a school day. It's quite all right. Is Hayley still there? Is she wondering what's going on?
00:57:43
Speaker
Haley would definitely agree. She would. Yes.
00:57:51
Speaker
Oh, my God. We'll move on We'll move on. Don't They i know and sit down they sit down and they have a lovely touching moment um of just this is Phoebe's favorite moment of the whole time. And Frank's apologetic for being an idiot.
00:58:09
Speaker
um But it's a sweet moment. It's a sweet moment between the two of them. they They immediately start bonding. um We head back over to the boys' apartment. Okay, and there's a cut scene there. Oh, another I do love a good cut scene. And it's a whole scene because they're over at Monica and Rachel, or Phoebe and Monica and Rachel are um all sitting there around the table. And Phoebe pulls out um it's a garage door opener.
00:58:42
Speaker
And Monica's like, what is that? And she's like, oh, it's Frank Jr. gave it to me before he left. It used to be our dad's. It's a garage door opener until Frank melted it. And then whenever she starts pushing it, it's changing the channel on the TV.
00:59:02
Speaker
That's brilliant. I didn't and know that existed. Yes. And then Chandler walks in to get them to come and help move us into the next scene.
00:59:13
Speaker
Which explains why the girls are over there in the first place. I was wondering, yeah, how they all ended up over there. They lift up this entertainment center. How they did nobody noticed this thing was too big when it's lying in front of the doors.
00:59:28
Speaker
We'll never really know. You know, it was pretty obvious. It'll all be fine. It'll shrink whenever it up. Yes. We'll pick it up. Okay.
00:59:39
Speaker
it just there's some I don't know what it is. I can't put my finger why i love this this this storyline so much. but um ros aross Joey is trying. He's trying his best to make something good for the apartment. um We end up back in Central Park. This is where we do so meet Isabella Rossellini.
01:00:01
Speaker
Ross attempts to talk to her. did that The way he kind of goes, oh, Isabella. Like, it's kind of icky. It's kind of icky. It feels little sleazy.
01:00:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I'm all for shooting your shot. Why not? But he's get kind of creepy. Well, and it's Ross with his stupid, creepy, laminated and typed up list.
01:00:28
Speaker
What a dork. Indeed. Um, we kind of finished this episode. We're in the boys apartment and this is where Joey bets that he can fit in the entertainment center.
01:00:40
Speaker
Um, foreshadowing a little bit, cause this isn't the only time he ends up in there. Um, But one of the things that gets quoted in my head, if nothing else, a lot is the cha-ching that he does when he pulls the money in. Like if I find some money or something, cha-ching, a lot in my head in Joey's voice. But then Chandler locks him in and just walks out.
01:01:07
Speaker
yeah um poor old joey but he kind of i wouldn't say he deserves it he didn't do anything malicious but no that thing is is pretty hideous and huge yeah it is but that's so funny hayley's like he doesn't even like try to get out and i said well no he's just sitting in there playing with lincoln now Right. I did think about this. He could have pushed against the wall because it's not attached to the wall, but then everything would have fallen off. So that wouldn't actually be good. Right. Yeah, he is kind of kind of stuck in there, I think.
01:01:42
Speaker
um But yeah, that's the final scene of this episode. um Yeah. Let's think. All right. Who would be your Gunther Central? No.
Gunther Central Perk Selections
01:01:51
Speaker
Yeah. Gunther Central Park. Gunther Central Park for this episode. Where did you land this week? Okay.
01:01:57
Speaker
Well, first of all, I'm going to share Hayley's Gunther Central Park. She is laughing hysterically. Good. Because it was Joey.
01:02:08
Speaker
Because she liked his pants. Just kidding. She said it's because she always liked them. Hayley would disagree. um No, but she said he's always her favorite.
01:02:22
Speaker
um And I i mean, i can I can be on board with Joey, but I think that in this one, my Gunther Central Perk is Phoebe.
01:02:34
Speaker
Right. is Yeah, she's learning how to be a sister to a brother and you know the things that she, I think,
01:02:45
Speaker
was looking for and that whenever she kind of removed her expectations of that relationship is whenever it became nice.
01:02:56
Speaker
You know? So. I like it. I think that's very good rationale. like it. Yeah. it's It's a good bit of character development.
01:03:07
Speaker
um I've just written mine down and man alive. He's come, a I think three or four of the past five or six episodes, I'm going again for Joey.
01:03:18
Speaker
i kind of wanted to go for Frank. Hayley would agree with that. Hayley would agree. that's going to be the new tagline of this podcast. Haley would agree with that. Or Haley would not agree with that. I think so. Either one. I can't, my, my natural instinct is to go for Frank because he was new. He's the shiny new character on the show and I really do like him.
01:03:42
Speaker
Um, but I, I think Joe, Joey, for me, I just love this entertainment center thing so much. Um, I had to go had to go with it. He features quite heavily in this episode. So yeah for me for me, it's going to be Joey.
01:03:59
Speaker
um Now let's think, what could we measure this episode with? This is a tough one. probably rulers because they could all. Rulers. they they i did That's a great line too. We didn't touch that. All the rulers are. i do I've thought about that before. Like if you are going to make rulers, where's the universal thing that you make your first ruler with at the ruler factory?
01:04:24
Speaker
Okay. And then that. ah Yes. Exactly. And then the same could be said for colors. Yes. Like all kinds of different things, like shoe sizes. I mean, we all know that different brands of shoes of different sizes in the way that they feel and what you need and, you know, and clothes and, uh, yeah. What is, what is the standard measurement of a ruler? Like what, what,
01:04:57
Speaker
What was the, and how do you? i'm i'm glad i sleep I sleep well at night. I don't really have any sleeping issues. If I did, this is the stuff that would keep me awake at night.
01:05:09
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. but these things Oh, and so how many rulers? Oh, seven. Seven. A nice seven ruler.
01:05:21
Speaker
I'm giving it an eight. I'm going with eight this week. One extra ruler. I like Frank. I like the development with him and Phoebe. um Yeah, I had to go down because I'm still embarrassed by my right my slip up. Well, but you wouldn't know. How would you?
01:05:41
Speaker
How would I know? Indeed. and Indeed. I'd be interested to see if that was changed, actually, when it was played on the TV there. I don't remember. I wonder.
01:05:52
Speaker
I feel like it would be. I think it might be, especially if it was aired at a certain time. um Well, let's see. Next

Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, I love it.
01:06:35
