Podcast Introduction and Greetings
00:00:05
Speaker
Well, hello and welcome to the Purple Door Podcast, the Friends Rewatch Pod. I'm one of your hosts, Alistair, alongside Deanne. Deanne, how are you this evening? I am just fabulous as can possibly be. How are you? oh even better, because Kate just walked in the room. I'm doing very well. Oh, Kate. Yay. Hi, Kate. Hi, Kate.
00:00:28
Speaker
You can't see on the podcast, but she is leaning in giving a kiss and a wave to Deanne. She's going to do a little work, I would guess, while we record this episode, the one where Chandler crosses the line.
Alistair's Distracted Viewing
00:00:44
Speaker
I was just telling Deanne off the air that I just watched this as we had Linny, our granddaughter here, so was very distracted.
00:00:52
Speaker
So we'll see what happens. Distracted with wonderful goodness. All of a sudden you got very quiet. oh And I don't know if that's on my end. Let's see. Can you hear me any better now?
00:01:05
Speaker
No. Let's see. Perhaps a little technical. There we go. Yep. Yep. There it is. We're back. Yes. All right.
Technical Troubles and Fixes
00:01:13
Speaker
You just got real quiet. All right. Well, if it happens again, I'll push all the cables in, but we'll see. So I might be, I'll be leaning on you even more than usual for some of the details from the scenes. that ah oh Okay. Well, hopefully I won't um disappoint, but I... possible I was little distracted. Joseph watched it with me. And so he helped me pick my Gunther Central perk. And yeah. So anyway, I was having a whole conversation while was watching. So not as cute and cuddly as a little baby Lenny. This could be a roller coaster of an episode. It could just be. It just could love Well, let's see. This is episode one, two, three, four, five, six. I believe it's seven. So who's going to play today? Yes, that would be me. All right. I love it.
00:02:14
Speaker
All right.
Who is Guy?
00:02:16
Speaker
So my first question for you, what's the name of the doctor that Rachel gets asked out by?
00:02:25
Speaker
Oh, man. I don't even remember at all. ah it's ah Do you want to just take a guess?
00:02:35
Speaker
I'm going with ah with a Feinstein. Oh, that's nice. um No, his name is Guy. so she's like, hey, Guy.
00:02:47
Speaker
and I was like, is that really his name? But yeah, it is. That's his name, Guy. Hey, As I feared, there was going to be bits I missed, and that one is definitely one of them.
00:03:01
Speaker
um All right, your chance to take a gnarly lead. Let's see.
Phoebe's Nose Hair Joke
00:03:05
Speaker
Let's start with, um according to Phoebe, what is little Tony Tarzan swinging on? Oh, a nose hair. Yes, he is indeed.
00:03:16
Speaker
oh okay. right, what have you got for me? Well, but so one of my questions is finish this line and it's little tiny Tarzan.
00:03:30
Speaker
So I feel like that question has to be negated on So take that one away, Al, and ask me something else. Okay. Okay. I'll ask you another one. um When Chandler and Joey are talking in this in Central Park about Casey initially, what color is Joey's mug? Oh,
00:03:49
Speaker
oh That's rude. Yeah, you said. Oh, man. And I can tell you whenever they're listening to Ross. um Okay.
00:04:02
Speaker
Is Joey's yellow? It is not yellow. Take it. We'll take one more guess. Blue. It is blue. Yes. Nicely done. Okay, I don't know that I get that. or I do. Because you got the nose here, one, two I think if we look at the whole picture, you get the point. All right. If we're being super nice, I'll remember. all right.
00:04:24
Speaker
What happened to make Joey miss his dinner date with Kathy? um So he needed to get transmission fluid for Casey's car.
00:04:35
Speaker
and but And then the transmission had fallen out of the car. it wasn't there. There you go. Okay. Beautiful. Ding, ding, ding. All right.
Ross and Monica's Card Game
00:04:45
Speaker
Off the board, your question two.
00:04:48
Speaker
What do Ross and Monica both have in their hands when they are talking about his sound? Oh, carts. They do indeed. Playing cards. Just for bonus, do you know what color they were?
00:05:00
Speaker
Blue. They were blue indeed. They're blue bicycle carts. Yes. And I feel like they were playing like Jen Rummy because they have more than seven cards in their hands.
00:05:12
Speaker
I was trying to think of what they were playing. gin rummy's a huge shout i think All right. You're one for me. All right. What color is Kathy's purse that she forgot?
00:05:26
Speaker
Her purse that she forgot. Oh, that's a good question. I've got some color related questions in here too. A question. I'm going to have to just,
00:05:38
Speaker
I'm going just have to go. It seems too easy. I'm just going with black. No. It's brown. And it really irritated me because her skirt was red and black. right And so I felt like it needed to be black, but it wasn't. It was brown. And her jacket was brown with a black fur collar. And so I was like, okay, I guess it kind of matches. But, you know, black and brown don't really go Not really.
00:06:11
Speaker
and And then with red, don't know. It was it was an interesting ensemble, in my opinion. Yeah. For whatever that's worth. ah Well, let's stick with this theme. My question for you is going to be, when Chandler's getting his hair cut, what color is the towel around his neck?
Chandler and Kathy's Haircut Moment
00:06:32
Speaker
Is it white? It is not white. Dang. It is not. It is. Sticking with the theme, it is red.
00:06:45
Speaker
Is it really? wow yeah Like I can't see. Yeah. Love is what I was guessing. like oh well, yeah. but Yeah. you
00:07:00
Speaker
well there you go yeah okay ah weren all right ah so when did ross develop his sound
00:07:12
Speaker
ah Tell me if I need to be more specific. In college? e Or am just wrong? Well, no. No, no, no. That's whenever he just really like defined it. Okay.
00:07:28
Speaker
so so it So, yeah, kind of. Well, I think I'm going so i'm gonna have to go with
00:07:38
Speaker
his his junior year. Oh, no, they weren't specific like that. He said he he got really into it in high school, but it wasn't until college that he really developed.
00:07:53
Speaker
Maybe half a point. Maybe. i don't know. um Okay. Yeah, no, I think that's fine.
00:08:04
Speaker
But, um oh, no I'm going to ask you a question. yes And if you don't know the answer, then what that tells me is that the number one question you wouldn't have even known.
00:08:21
Speaker
ah okay. oh no Okay, so what does Rachel have for dinner whenever she's out by herself? Do you, in the episode that you watched, do you see her to dinner by herself? No, I don't think do.
00:08:42
Speaker
So that that was cut, and so you wouldn't know the doctor's name. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I didn't remember the doctor's name. Yeah, no, she sees him in one of the scenes.
00:08:53
Speaker
I'll tell you whenever we get to it. But dang, Al, so I don't even have five questions. Oh, yes, I do. yeah Yes, I do. Okay, so what's the name of the other girl that Joey's dating?
00:09:10
Speaker
that is You know, it's funny because I wrote down Ginger and it's not Ginger because oh it's it's Casey. Very good. is ki Very good. Okay. All right. So we've we've got there. Let's see. I'm going to ask you.
00:09:24
Speaker
to today let's see. I've got a couple written down. Here's here's a super tricky one. It's obscure, but i think it's worth um asking. When Chandler and Kathy almost kiss initially, you can see what's written on the Etch-A-Sketch.
00:09:40
Speaker
Oh, what does it say It's clean up the duck feathers in the hallway. Trigger. Trigger.
00:09:48
Speaker
Okay. Nice. I do know that one. And I went back because I went, Al's going to ask me that. Yeah, he is. I do love a good bit of Etch-a-Sketch. Okay.
00:10:00
Speaker
and All right. Al. Yes. There is a pillow. on their chair that used to be a white chair in the girls apartment but now it's like a brown kind of chair the big comfortable chair yeah and there's a or a ah a pillow on that that you see a number of different times what color and what's on it what design man i've got no idea that's a great question i am just sticking with the theme
00:10:34
Speaker
or stick it with O, which tells me maybe it's it's red red with hearts, red with... Is that it? With a heart. Oh, fantastic. All right. So I make it that I have got three and a half out of five and you have three out four.
00:10:51
Speaker
so So this is it. Oh, gosh. All right. I've got two questions. I've got three questions, and actually, and I think they're all sort of similar difficulty.
00:11:03
Speaker
um What do we find out is three blocks away from Central Park? Oh, a Starbucks. A Starbucks it is, and you get you get the W's. Yes! Man, that was close and terrifying. That was. Okay, let me just ask you a question for fun then. Yes.
00:11:23
Speaker
What does the Etch-a-Sketch say later in the episode? It says something along the lines of, I love you, man. That's exactly what it says. Yeah, with a little drawing. little drawing of Joey, I think. Uh-huh. Well, I'll throw my two extras at you. um Why does Chandler say he watches Baywatch?
00:11:44
Speaker
ah For the article. It does indeed. And then specifically, where did Kathy learn to cut hair? Oh, at her aunt's dog shop. Indeed. See, you would have won if I'd gone with any of those questions. Yeah. So normal service is resumed. You are 2-1 up in season four.
00:12:05
Speaker
Dang. i cannot believe that two of my... So I had seven questions. Okay. One of them was like a match, right? Finish this line. Little tiny Tarzan yeah swinging from a nose here. Okay. Okay.
00:12:21
Speaker
And then the other two were from the scene that was cut. Isn't that funny? Because i didn't look at the at the script before or during watching it. Right. And so i was like, dang. It's funny how that happens once in a while.
00:12:38
Speaker
Yeah. But, like, it's ah it's a full-on scene, which I thought was very appropriate and funny. And i' it's kind of just ah i'm I'm a little, honestly, disappointed that it got cut. Right.
00:12:51
Speaker
Yeah, it's ah I look forward to hearing about it when it's at it drops in this episode. um So we start off this episode, we're in the girls' apartment. Chandler comes in he saw Kathy naked. um I didn't catch what he said. Again, I'll excuse any, please excuse any mistakes. had Linny on my lap. We're feeding her dinner, things like that. Does he say it was it was torture or he was in hell or something? Yeah, he says that it was torture and ah Ross was like, well, if we go to war and you get taken prisoner, yeah you're in for rude awakening. That's right. Yeah.
00:13:30
Speaker
So, yeah. Yeah. So good. And Chandler, he now thinks that he thinks Kathy likes him too. He thinks there's a an energy, right? A spark of some sort. Uh-huh.
00:13:43
Speaker
And then jumps up on the kitchen counter, talks for a bit, and as he leaves, everyone was able to see right up in there, up his robe. Yeah. Have we talked about dressing gowns or robes before? Do you and old Mr. Wilson own one each? Or what's the robe situation in your house?
00:14:02
Speaker
Okay, so i I don't know if I've told you this or not. But um I used to have a robe and then I threw it out because I decided that I just wanted one of those like super duper duper soft ones like, you know, and I was like, my my robes is not soft. And then Joseph had a robe and it's just like a navy blue terrycloth robe that he literally never wears. He never uses. And so I had thrown mine out thinking that they would get me a really, really soft robe because that's like the quintessential mother Christmas present or something. Right. And I didn't get it and I didn't get it. And I think two years went by of me hijacking his um his terrycloth robe and then a friend of mine at work.
00:14:55
Speaker
Just randomly one day, she was like, I saw this. It's too big, but you needed it. And I opened it up and it is one of those super duper duper soft robes, but it's a Slytherin wizarding robe, but it's, it's a bathrobe. Right. And so it is so soft and it's adorable and it's cute and it's a little bit too big and it's perfect.
00:15:21
Speaker
Yeah. I love it. so um so then I threw out Joseph's terrycloth rope. That was the end of that one. Yeah. And so we have one rope in our house and it is that one. It's that one. Awesome.
00:15:35
Speaker
I love it. yeah Yeah. Do you do y'all doall have robes? So the reason I thought about this in this scene was Kate and I have one each.
00:15:47
Speaker
um I've got kind of like a thick navy blue, I don't know what material it is, but it's pretty thick. So thick, in fact. um We've got kind of blackout cartons in our bedroom, but they're about two inches too short from one of the sides. So one day we hung my, you know, I'm just going to throw my my dressing gown, my robe up there. And man alive, the room goes pitch black with that thing hanging there. So I leave it there because I don't wear often. And it just cuts out any light from the room. But once in a while, like we'll forget, oh, forgot to throw something in the dryer. Yeah.
00:16:22
Speaker
So got to run through the house. I will borrow Kate. And I look exactly like Richard. Remember when he and Ross bump into each other? Because hers is like halfway down the thigh length, pink with a little ruffle.
00:16:37
Speaker
And I'll have to chuck on once in a while. It's it's quite a sight to behold. Yeah. But, you know, we rarely wear them, but just, yeah, it's usually we've forgotten to throw something in the dryer is ah is that situation.
Dating Dynamics: Chandler, Kathy, and Joey
00:16:53
Speaker
um But, yeah, we yeah let's see, we go to Central Park. Joey is setting up a date with Casey, and Chandler is very excited. He thinks he must have broken up with Kathy.
00:17:03
Speaker
This is it. This is Chandler's chance. But, no, Joey's going to just date them both for a little bit. Yeah. um i mean despite chandler thinking that she gets joey even though she just saw the back of his head right yes she's smart and funny and she gets you she gets you yeah and then he's like look you just gotta to pick a lane and he's like who's a lane Yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, oh Joey.
00:17:34
Speaker
Oh, Joey. He's got yeah too too much going on in the dating department at this point. um We go up to the girls' apartment. This is where Phoebe is singing about Tony Tarzan swinging on her nose hair, but gets gets stuck into you know the musical transition.
00:17:52
Speaker
And again, I was watching part of this with the closed captioning and not the sound, but I think this is where Ross kind goes, duh, da duh, duh, duh. And then just goes into it. Is that right? yeah Yeah. Yes. Yes. yeah and Because she can't figure out how to transition into the next verse. Right. And so, yeah. And then she's like, how do you know about whatever that tune or whatever is? Yes. Yeah. You know, and then he talks about the sound. And yeah they get into all of that. Okay. yeah
00:18:27
Speaker
Oh, Wolves is a minor minor coffee fix. I'm sorry about that. just got really excited because i have we talked about this? Do you play an instrument?
00:18:39
Speaker
I don't know if we've talked off or on air. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none. i played the trombone to fairly, I mean, looking back, a fairly high level all through high school. I could have done that at college, went another path.
00:18:56
Speaker
Like I can tinker on a guitar. I can tinker on a bass guitar. I can tinker on a piano. Trombone was far and away what I excelled in. played in various jazz bands and all sorts of things. And it's one of those things I think about her quite a lot, like, all right, I need to set aside some time. In fact, quick shout out to my good friend Rowan, who I went to high school with. um He was in the brass band, the school brass band with me, and has just recently picked up his, oh, suddenly I've forgotten it. I think it's the trumpet.
00:19:31
Speaker
um again 25 plus years later and has joined a band is super excited to join this brass band and we've kind of we've stayed in touch over the years but we've been talking a lot about getting back into music well they're rowing yep ah Very good good. for you. I love that for him. That's awesome. The story is basically his partners in the military and he is somehow now connected to the military brass band and this, that, and the other. And it's just kind of happened and he's so excited about it.
00:20:09
Speaker
Oh, good. So I'm looking forward to hearing. I've sent him a thing saying I hope that you we can get some recordings so we can We can hear this. Now, how about you? I'm not sure of your musical past. No? No, no. I played ah in the bell choir at church...
00:20:29
Speaker
The end. The end. Hey. That's it. That's all I got for you. It's something. Yeah. And i i I wish if I could go back. Right. And there's not many things that I would do any different.
00:20:45
Speaker
right Right. Right. But whenever I was going into middle school, I really wish I would have just done band. Yeah. Played whatever instrument it was that.
00:20:56
Speaker
was and just just try it out see how it goes yeah i think it's i think it's a fairly common regret that lot of people yeah wish i hadn't given that and i've still got i've got my trombone i've got my bass guitar i've got a you know normal six string acoustic guitar i just need to all right commit to you know an hour an hour a week or something because i really enjoy it when when i start playing yeah okay well there you go i we have house full of ah guitars and bass guitars and i don't even know what all we've got but a lot like joseph collects them does he play he knows how to play right does he play no understood um ah but um i yeah you know what
00:21:49
Speaker
This is yet another thing. So we're going to do improv. Yes. And then we're going to hold each other accountable and so just spend an hour a week. And you can just refine and I will learn.
00:22:01
Speaker
There we go And then we can discuss it. How's it going? Yes. Okay. I like that. where with That is on our list. I like it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Ross is showing us even if you you need to go and dust off the instruments, you can always fire them back up.
00:22:18
Speaker
yes he is do Yeah, yeah, yeah. and And find your sound. Find your sound. I think to me, that's is one of the classic friends lines is finding your sound. Yeah. Well, Ross is all set up. He's ready to play. I did know that Chandler is drinking Yoo-Hoo again. he is.
00:22:38
Speaker
And then I love the way Ross keeps stalling. He's nervous. You know, he keeps needing to pause to explain that, you know, his, his sound, his music and Chandler just tells him, Oh God, just play her something. My wordless sound poems. That was, I'm like, Oh my God.
00:22:58
Speaker
What a line. And when he plays, it reminds me of when he plays the bagpipes because Phoebe, or Lisa Kudrow, is playing so well. and And Jennifer Aniston is dying in the background. Okay.
00:23:11
Speaker
And her hand is over her mouth. And i was I watched that and I was like, I wonder if she isn't just... Oh, that i that is Friends folklore that is 100% true. If Jennifer Aniston is ever covering her mouth, it's because she's breaking. yeah um she could She could notoriously could not hold it in if she started to break. So she just covers her mouth. Like when Ross plays the bagpipes, she wasn't supposed to be laughing and you could see her just just dying. So, yeah, she is completely breaking character. um
00:23:48
Speaker
And phoebe but Phoebe is in awe. Ross gets all excited. And does he leave to get another tape? I forgot what he kind of leaves to get. Yeah, to get the other disc that has the other sounds. and um And his stupid, like, whenever he's like, oh,
00:24:07
Speaker
ah yeah you know oh my gosh it's so ridiculous it's ridiculous but it's so iconic like the way the way he does it yeah um Let's see, we go over to the boys' apartment now. Chandler is watching Baywatch, um just for the articles, of course.
00:24:27
Speaker
ah Nothing more, not Yasmeen Gleith. Kathy comes in. Joe is not there yet. um I love this. i do I do like them together at this point. They're great. Chandler offers their seat in the boat. He prefers it in the stern of the boat. ah ah He's so uncomfortable. Joey calls. I think at this point, think he's just going to be late because he needed to get transmission fluid. Is that right? From yeah Casey's car. yeah um
00:24:58
Speaker
Again, i just picture the village kind of lower Manhattan. Who's driving around for a date? Okay, that's what I was wondering too. I'm like, who has the car and who's driving and what's happening here? Yeah, it's like Carol and Susan have a car and always think that's, I mean it just seems so unnecessary. with i mean, who knows where do they work, where Susan works or something, but and right The expense of storing and parking a car in Manhattan is is what you and I would pay for a house.
00:25:31
Speaker
it's it's just It just seems unnecessary. Chandler said he had a what a haircut appointment. Kathy's like, it looks great, but it got cancelled. So she offers to cut his hair um and he sort of slightly reluctantly accepts, but is as long as she doesn't make his tail too poofy.
00:25:51
Speaker
um which I do like that line. um And it kind of, it for me, kind of cuts to, she's cutting his cuts to him getting his hair cut. She's getting very close in his little personal space, making sure things are level.
00:26:08
Speaker
And there's a moment, there's an awkward moment. And then suddenly the phone rings and it's Joey, took the transmission fluid back to the car and the transmission wasn't there. don't know how that happens but it had fallen out um he said i just figured we had hit a dog yeah that's right um so yeah i've just written down that joey ends up speaking to them both kathy ends up you know so fill in the blanks what i'm missing here kathy ends up leaving comes back though because she forgot her person they end up kind of kissing in the doorway and then into the apartment
00:26:47
Speaker
um chandler pulls away saying that they can't do this and kathy reveals she has feelings for chandler too yeah at this point and she can't pretend that she doesn't have them okay yes go ahead okay so there's like it's weird because it they cut out part of it okay because she comes back in right because she forgot her purse yes and then they kiss And then she's like, no, I really did forget my purse.
00:27:18
Speaker
And then she grabs her brown purse and then she leaves. And then he walks over to the door and he goes, a and then he goes, are you still there? And she goes, do you, did you see that? And he goes, um he goes, are you still there? And she goes,
00:27:42
Speaker
Yes. And then he opens the door back up and then they kiss. That's right. Yes. And then they kiss. Yeah. um Yes. Yeah, I did have that. Like he he knew she was right there. She hadn't left. Yeah. um We go over to Central Park. Ross is playing his sounds and Phoebe still just loves his music.
00:28:02
Speaker
But, you know, I guess Ross was kind of opening for him, but she's like, no, I can't go on. i can't follow that. um She just thinks he's he's too good. um And it would be a letdown, I think, if she got ah went up on the stage after being blown away by these amazing sounds.
00:28:22
Speaker
um it's just It's just, it tracks. It tracks for Phoebe that something so unearthbound and just peculiar would would resonate with her musical soul.
00:28:35
Speaker
Like so much. so much oh my yes she's just it's so good um again if i'm feeling like i may be missing things but we go over to the boy's apartment chandler's obviously very nervous i think he's kind of pacing around and joey comes in and chandler reveals the new chairs the entertainment center all of that but before that he opens the door and it's got the chain lock yeah i missed what happened Yeah, he goes, no, I blocked myself out again. How could you do that? Yeah, and then Chandler opens it, and that's whenever.
00:29:19
Speaker
The big reveal. The
Joey's New Furniture Discovery
00:29:21
Speaker
big reveal. and We've got Sita, Rosita the Sita. Yes, yeah. And that's how they ended up with the brown chairs. With the brown chairs, that's right, because they needed to get rid of the black ones. I think we discussed that because of the lighting. Yeah. um So, and I can't, I didn't quite write down how this happened, but Joey ends up thinking Chandler has a crush on Casey. Yeah. um Because he keeps on bringing up Casey. Right, okay. He keeps bringing her up and bringing her up, bringing her up. And then he's like, yeah.
00:29:56
Speaker
I think that, so you gotta, you gotta, I can set all up. And he's like, everything's falling into place. Yeah. Right, that's right. this Poor old Chandler.
00:30:08
Speaker
um We go back over to Central Park and Ross, I think this is where Ross tells Phoebe he's not going to play anymore because he doesn't want to take anything away from from her sound, I suppose. um Chandler comes in and tells everyone that's there that he has kissed Kathy.
00:30:26
Speaker
um He doesn't know what to do. I just wrote down that nobody was really helpful at all, but they all tell him that he does have to tell Joey. Yeah, none of them. None of them were helpful. right Because they were like, and Ross is even like, you know, no, if you had told him first, Joey would have stepped aside.
00:30:47
Speaker
And he's like, why didn't you tell me that? Why didn't you tell me that? And then they all start talking because then Phoebe's like, Yeah, like he did say that to me. I did think that was a good idea. So they all were like discussing what Chandler should do, but forgot to tell Chandler. Yeah, just forgot the most important bit of all of this and letting Chandler know.
00:31:09
Speaker
But Ross, you know, very generous, very kind, what big hearted guy, offers to write a song about this. It's just fantastic. I was going ask you in the next scene, what is Joey watching on the television when Chandler comes in to talk to him? Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman. That is the Wonder Woman of my childhood.
00:31:30
Speaker
I love that. Oh, my gosh. I just, she was so awesome. And I was like, my hair was not as dark as it is now, and thanks to hair dye. um But I was like, I've got blue eyes. I'm going to have darker hair.
00:31:47
Speaker
I could be Wonder Woman. I could be her. no She was just so cool. I'm going horrify you because I've never released it. Is it Linda Carter?
00:31:58
Speaker
Is that name? It is Linda Carter. i was yeah taking a chance there. Our whole friendship might have been on the line, I No, I've got that wrong. Never, never. Because I've never seen it. I know it from Frasier, really. Roz dresses up as her. Yeah. Because you got to dress up in that episode, one of your heroes.
00:32:17
Speaker
And she dresses up as the Linda Carter. Wonder Woman. um Absolutely. Absolutely. Roomful of heroes. Superb Frasier episode. But Joey ends up telling Chandler, I think that Kathy broke up with him after acting class. Is that right? But time out. I have a question for you. Please.
00:32:36
Speaker
Okay. What's sambucha, sambuca, margarita? What is that? What is that? I know I've heard of sambuca, but I don't even know what that is.
00:32:47
Speaker
Sambuca is one of those things. I don' i feel like it's really a really cheap spirit. was it's It's one of those things that I think of. I've never drank it as a 90s drink. Like they talk about a six pack of Zima ah in one episode. I'd never heard of Zima either. And I don't know Sambuca still exists. you know what what but I'm just doing a quick Google while we're here. Sambuca is oh it's still a popular Italian anise. It'd be like, yeah, a bit aniseed flavored.
00:33:20
Speaker
Like your sweet taste, black liquor. That's why I've never drunk a black licorice aroma. Cannot stand black licorice. Oh my God. I bet you that is disgusting with margarita mix. Yeah, sounds horrible. But oh, yeah, still very much available. I don't drink. So it's just not be a 15 bucks for a big bottle. It's almost too cheap.
00:33:43
Speaker
Like worryingly cheap. I like a good deal. But sometimes things are just too cheap. Yeah. Yeah. um So, yeah, that's right. He's drinking that. But then Joey ends up telling Chandler and correct me if I'm wrong here, but Kathy broke up with him in acting class.
00:34:04
Speaker
And then I think he kind of says, does Joey then say something like, but you might have some competition. because he thinks there's somebody else chan tells him what happens is that right yeah that's exactly what happens but it's funny because okay yeah you don't really ever see joey like really drinking right so he's obviously sad about this situation but i thought it was so funny whenever he talks about her breaking up with him Because he's like, he broke up after class and he said, like, he thought she was doing like a bit or a scene or something. And said, so I was letting people watch us. And I was like, oh my God, how embarrassing.
00:34:49
Speaker
How embarrassing. But yeah, so Chandler, you know, explains to her, ah ah to him how, um how, yeah. Yeah.
00:35:01
Speaker
how he's feeling about Kathy. And then that you're exactly right. That's whenever Joey says, you know, well, you might have some competition. That's it. That's it. And then Chandler says that I think once Joey say, oh, did you sleep with her? Chandler's like, no, I just kissed her. Well, that's worse. Well, it's the same. Yeah. And he's like, yes, it's just sad. It's so sad. Yeah.
00:35:25
Speaker
And then Joey had made Chandler bread and the new bread maker. Yes. Yeah. Oh, and what I should have said, do you know what what kind of bread?
00:35:38
Speaker
Cinnamon raisin. Yeah. Have we talked about raisins? Raisins are rude. Raisins I've got no time for. None. No. Absolutely. Zero. and None at all. Disgusting, rude imposters. Just use chocolate chips in everything. A hundred percent. There's nothing worse, and now I mean nothing worse, than biing biting into a cookie that you think is chocolate chip and it ends up having raisins in it. Just a gooey, chewy. Yeah. And then bread, come on. Put some chocolate chips in there. That's right. A little dessert bread, you will. I'm all over it. Exactly.
00:36:21
Speaker
Oh, let's see.
Ross's Final Performance
00:36:23
Speaker
We end up over in Central Park. Ross is playing for one last time. I love that Monica has earplugs in. um She's there. Oh, okay. So, sorry. No. Before the scene that got cut, I'm following along and I skipped right over it.
00:36:43
Speaker
So, whenever ra it's between, it's right before that last scene that we went over. right And so Rachel is out to dinner by herself.
00:36:54
Speaker
And she's got like a Caesar salad in front of her. She's obviously at an Italian restaurant. She's got like a little roll and water. And it's yeah as she's sitting there and um she's breaking up with herself in her head.
00:37:11
Speaker
Telling herself, you know, like, I just, we we need to be going out, seeing other people and just seeing what happens. And, you know, she's like, well, so she's having this crazy conversation in her head. And then that's the, daughter the two doctors come in.
00:37:30
Speaker
And the doctor that she had talked to at the coffee house. And she saw him and she was like, oh, hey, guy And he's like, hi, Rachel. And she says, you know, I, am ah turns out I am free on Sunday. And he goes, oh, he's like, well, that's too bad. Because, you know, ah or she asked him, like, what are you doing? And he's like, oh, I work at the hospital right across the street. And so she says, you know, I'm i'm actually free Sunday. and he's like, oh, i I just told them that I can work this weekend. She's like, OK, well, maybe next weekend. And he's like, sure. Yeah. Well, then and she's like, OK, well, you know, I'll talk to you later. And he's like, sounds good. And they like shake hands. It's real weird. right And then in his head, he's thinking, yeah, I'll talk to you. Never, because you're one of the crazy women that eat dinner by yourselves.
00:38:27
Speaker
When was the last time you went out to dinner by yourself? There's like oh there's a question.
00:38:35
Speaker
set Like, sat down somewhere and ate by yourself. Because I am not... I know I have. i cannot think when... Yeah, like the Jeopardy theme song is playing in my head right now. Well, tell I just remembered mine while you're thinking of yours. Okay, share. A couple of years ago, um i would that we've got an Indian restaurant that I just love that's very close to our house. And I had taken our really thick bedding to to get washed at the laundromat, which happens to be next door. It was on on one of my a day off.
00:39:13
Speaker
So put all that stuff in and I had to kill 45 minutes, you know, so they could put it in the dryer. And I thought i was like, you know, it's lunchtime and the Indian place next door. I'm going to go and treat myself to the Indian buffet. That was probably 18 months ago. Ended up going in and my next door neighbor was there. So we sort of ate together. But the intention was to eat by myself. So I will count that. That was probably 18 months ago.
00:39:41
Speaker
I still can't come up with it. Right. like to think about this one. Yeah. Because I couldn't i couldn't tell you. i have no idea. And it's not because I i don't, but I don't know. Yeah. I mean, very few and far between I've done it. Nothing against at all.
00:40:01
Speaker
i Yeah. I had to have to ponder that one. Yeah. and ah whenever, before I was married, I did enjoy going to the movies by myself.
00:40:11
Speaker
Right. I did enjoy that. But i don't I don't know about eating out like at a restaurant. by my Do you know what?
00:40:23
Speaker
OK, it was in Dallas. And al I'm embarrassed of how many years ago it was. I mean, it was a long time ago. And I was in Dallas for training.
00:40:38
Speaker
And so I went and I sat down at this restaurant and I was taking notes and writing. And at the end of my meal, the waitress asked me if I was a food critic. that kind of fun And I said, i really wish my answer was yes.
00:40:58
Speaker
Why do you think that? And she's like, well, because of your notebook. And I was like, oh yeah i was like i'm just writing but i kind of love that though i it could have fantastic Oh, I think I would have had to have said yes.
00:41:16
Speaker
Right? Just to see what happens. What would they do? Yeah, would they send... See, now, knowing everything that I know about life and watch too many TVs and movies and stuff, they might have given me something for free. That's what I'm thinking. Your dessert on the house. See, missed out. Missed out.
00:41:36
Speaker
kate was a Kate was a mystery shopper back in the day. oh that's fun. Yeah. Stop. Okay, so whenever I worked at Foley's, I had gotten really good at picking out our mystery shoppers.
00:41:49
Speaker
Nice. Like, I knew who they were. That's fantastic. Yeah. um yeah I just had a thought. and We're going to finish this last scene and then I just had something we need to discuss. Okay. So sorry. Yeah. have Ross ends up his song and he pretends that he's lost it. Tells Phoebe can so she can play. And then Kenny goes, yeah, like I could ever lose it. Like he thinks he's pulled a fast one over everyone. um with that that's kind of how this episode ends I just remembered so we should a sort of semi-apology to the listeners after we recorded so the one with Dirty Girl you sent a text to me like 20 minutes afterwards and I think we should address this oh we need to we need to because people I was like oh my gosh how embarrassing okay so Al
00:42:44
Speaker
yes and and Typically, like, Friends and our and and that's it. Like, I enjoy other shows that, like, I don't really, like, get into and watch. But it's summer, and Joseph has started this. a He's been watching it, and then I picked up on the last episode of season three, and it is called...
00:43:10
Speaker
I sent it to you in the text. I can't think. Is it Nightwing? No. It's called Darkwing? it's Darkwing Duck. Anyway, it's fabulous. It is about and Navajo Indian. It's a reservation. Darkwind.
00:43:28
Speaker
There you go. Not even close to what I was guessing. Darkwind. um It's so good. It's a police show, but they're on the Navajo Reservations.
00:43:40
Speaker
And so all of the actors and the actresses are Navajo descent, American Indian descent. And it in they've got like each episode, we figure that in the in the.
00:43:57
Speaker
writings, if writing of this, there has to be a certain percentage or a certain number of like cultural ah references that are brought in because each episode has different ties to different things from the culture.
00:44:14
Speaker
Oh, it's so good. But I got the end of the last episode of season three and now we're almost done with season four. Well, there is a character in season four and she's a very tall, blonde, very beautiful woman. um And she looks famous to me.
00:44:31
Speaker
So I had done all this research on her the day. It might've earlier before we recorded. And so in my head, that was the tall, blonde, beautiful person in my brain. Duh! No. In our episode of Friends, that was Rebecca Romaine Stamos. Oh, my God. That was the blue girl from X-Men. That is John Stamos' wife. like Or ex-wife.
00:45:02
Speaker
Ex-wife? I think so. think so. I think there are exes now. But like... Oh my gosh, how embarrassing. How embarrassing. for what it's worth, I didn't know, to be honest. oh I think I would have known Rebecca Romaine Stamos, if she still goes by that name, was tall and blonde, i think, but that's about it.
00:45:24
Speaker
Yeah, and beautiful and hilarious and like, I don't know. And then this ah the other lady, she's tall and blonde and beautiful, but she is not hilarious.
00:45:36
Speaker
And she is creepy and is an excellent show. All right. That's going on the list. But she's a German actress. That's not anybody that we know.
00:45:47
Speaker
so All right. The Dark Wind. We are currently watching Alone because a new season came out. And then Big Brother starts tonight, which we'll probably this weekend. And that's kind of our episode. We sit with that that we get into. Excellent.
00:46:03
Speaker
Good. But then Dark Wind. Going on the list. All right, let's think who would be your Gunther Central Park of the week. All right, so mine, it's Ross.
00:46:19
Speaker
It's Ross. Wow. Wow, I am slightly stunned. I know. Joseph was too. um Because he's so funny in this episode.
00:46:30
Speaker
And I'm like, I can't pick Chandler. I can't pick Joey. Right. And then i was like, i like, and it's just and then I'm like, really? The good laughs were Ross being an idiot with the music. And it's so funny. And then it's like,
00:46:53
Speaker
I respect the fact that, yes, he probably should have kept the sound a secret. he probably should have, but he didn't. He went out on a limb yeah and did his thing.
00:47:07
Speaker
So good for him. Good for him. Well, my little routine is i don't pick my Gunther Central Park until we finish reviewing, but I always write it down before you say yours, just so just so I don't get influenced in any way. And I had also written down, I don't think I can on the camera, nah. I had also written Ross down for the first time in a long time. Okay, well, gro Joseph asked me, he was like, have you ever picked Ross? And I said, I have. And every time I did, shocked me. But this shocks me even more, because I felt like two episodes ago, the reason that it was scored so low was because it was back to being a heavy Ross situation. But I don't know. But I wrote, yeah I said, Ross, he's so funny. He started playing bad for Phoebe and he was brave. And and then I wrote, ha ha. so
00:48:08
Speaker
It's just iconic. Ross and his sound, the stuff that goes along with it. it's it's yeah so Somebody would have had to done something pretty special to knock the iconic sound off top spot for me.
00:48:22
Speaker
Yes, yes. a house How shall we score this week? By random keyboard sounds, of course. I think it has to be keyboard sounds. peer yeah How many are we going for this week?
00:48:37
Speaker
Seven and a half. Yeah, seven and a half. Yeah. I literally am doing the same. We've been off a little bit. So we're both Ross and seven and a half. I liked it.
00:48:48
Speaker
I love the Ross's sound bit. That if that on its own is an eight or a nine. And then the other stuff to me is kind of a seven. So, you know, seven and a half, kind of landing in the middle, thinking of all the different storylines. So that's always fun. Always fun when we end up with the same... yeah yeah keyboard sounds is one of my favorites so far purebu I love it. too let's they create Next week, if you know friends at all and you know what happened this week, you know what's coming next week. It's the one with Chandler yeah in a box. ah In a box. This one, this one, this gets my heartstrings a little bit. this one Yes. Yes.
00:49:34
Speaker
It's the good. it says It is. I'm excited to get into this one. Any final thoughts this week?
00:49:44
Speaker
No. No. But I'm excited because we're going to start playing some musical instruments. That's right. when Maybe one day we will share our wordless sound poems.
00:49:54
Speaker
Oh, our wordless sound poems. Yes. That's what thinking. We are on it. All right. we yeah works I might, with my guitar, I might sing about some tiny Tarzan swinging from a nose hair. We should only be so lucky if you would do that for us.
00:50:15
Speaker
I am looking forward to it. Maybe when we do trivia night, we can open with a with some of that. Oh my gosh, that would be amazing. That would be pretty funny. All right, we're going to go and dust off our guitars and musical instruments. But as always, everybody, thank you for listening to the Purple Door podcast.
