Iconic 'Friends' Episode Discussion
00:00:49
Speaker
This week we are talking about the one with the race car bed. I don't think it's it's too much to say. It's fairly iconic. I think anyone who's watched Friends, as soon as you say the race car bed, people know what you're talking about. Yes. Yes. They know that that red race car bed. And that last scene.
00:01:11
Speaker
The very last scene. The last scene. That's what makes it, I think. a great way to finish the episode, that last scene. which I think is just super awesome. Let me have a quick look at my bamboozled. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:01:27
Speaker
I have 11 questions coming in fairly strong this week. I have 12. So I will go first. I bet we have, I bet we have a couple of that overlap. sure. There's going to be some crossover, but I love it. Well, Deanne, why don't you kick us off with your first question?
00:01:45
Speaker
All right. What is on Gunther's tie? Now, that is? Your fourth question. Wow, that's my fourth question.
00:01:59
Speaker
Yep, because if I did my questions in order, that's where that one would have been. That's amazing. Is this one, yes, the one where Rachel's talking to her dad on the phone? why that be Yes.
00:02:10
Speaker
I think it's weird, right? He has lots of emojis. Yeah. Or smiley faces. But emojis weren't really a thing, right? I haven't figured this. They're all smiley faces. Okay. They're all smiley faces.
00:02:24
Speaker
Yeah. so And it it's before emojis became a thing. Right. And yet they look very much like emojis. Yes. So he is so fashion forward. Oh, my gosh. Go Gunther. Gunther is ahead of the game. I love it.
00:02:41
Speaker
um If you didn't see this video, Answer. You might be able to work out, but what is the Mattress King's phone number?
Mattress Costs and Store Suspicions
00:02:51
Speaker
That is my question number 10.
00:02:53
Speaker
2-1-2-5-5-5-K-I-N-G. i and g Indeed this is. Indeed it is.
00:03:03
Speaker
Okay. ah
00:03:08
Speaker
All right. What did Joey ask was the war cry of the Gellers' neighborhood whenever they were growing up? That was, was that Egg the Gellers? Yes, it was. That's a great, a great war cry. I like that. Yes.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yes. That made me laugh. Yeah. Let's see. My one for you. How much is the Mattress King selling the Pillow Top Queen set for? And that would be my question number 11. $4.99 for a Pillow Top Queen set.
00:03:44
Speaker
These prices, they sell themselves. They do. know They do. Man, which is still, it seems expensive. Mattresses are so expensive.
00:03:55
Speaker
it's It's one of the banes of my existence. Obviously, we don't buy one often. Right. It's like, really? Like, do we need to spend four figures on a mattress? Like, you know, don't know. Because if going to buy one, like, we... You got get a good one.
00:04:11
Speaker
So we did buy...
00:04:15
Speaker
a sleep number bed, we but we bought it used, which was, we were very like, pet you don't buy a used mattress. That sounds icky. It was somebody in our neighborhood. and It was like, put in their guest room, used once.
00:04:28
Speaker
They never used it again. And they're moving. They must be so rich. That's what I'm thinking. And we looked at them like this thing looks like brand new. Like it really does. So we were willing to, willing to go down that road.
00:04:42
Speaker
Um, cause it was like $200 for a sleep number. just Wow. And that works. Yeah. raise You can raise your feet. you can raise your head. Wow. So we're like, all right, this, it felt a little bit like buying used tires.
00:04:58
Speaker
Like, uh, don't really want to do that, but at this price, Oh, hey, Joseph is all about some used tires, which is so weird to me. But anyway, go on.
00:05:09
Speaker
have I have bought used tires in the past. I did buy a set of four new tires, which, again, is another expense that just irks me. ah So, yes, I'm currently paying on new tires for my car right now. See, exactly. like I went in, it's probably been a year ago, because I knew i had one that was getting a little bold and went to discount tires. And they're like, your tires are 12 years old.
00:05:34
Speaker
You know, my car. When I bought my car, it was used, but it was used very lightly and sparingly. It was actually a government car. And then the small dealership bought it at an auction, repaired the transmission. I bought it from there. So the tires didn't have really that many miles on them, but they were just old.
00:05:54
Speaker
So the tread looked fine, which is why I didn't notice. But the guy's like, ah, these are starting to grow. Your sidewalls. Yeah. All of that stuff. so Four new tires. and i yeah food Yeah. yeah and then And it's the same thing li a mattress. If you're going to buy it you've got to buy a good one because you're going to be using it every day.
00:06:17
Speaker
yeah and a creates even bigger problems if you don't have a good one. Yes, exactly. Yeah. And I feel like mattress people and tire people know that they've got it.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's a big, giant conspiracy. Well, there is that, there's this theory that all mattress showrooms are a front. Okay! Hayley, Hayley told me about this.
00:06:40
Speaker
Yeah. Because Sean is, like, all about this. Her brother. Okay. He is. There's something to right? People believe this's It has some traction that this is not just a a silly theory, but there's mattress places all over. the and I don't know. How often are people really in there buying mattresses? Not more often than every eight years is what one would think.
00:07:03
Speaker
That's what I would think. and they always and I now look and they always seem to be empty to me, and yet there's quite a few of them around. And you know, okay, and I'm thinking specifically about the one over here by us. There's one, and it's like on 380. It's on, it's a storefront right there. in a strip mall, you know that that um that rent, to rent in that building is not cheap.
00:07:31
Speaker
You know it. Right. And so you never see anybody in there. And I'm sorry, like if I was going in to buy a mattress, Like, we spend time trying to figure out which one is the one. I'm still going to maybe go in, try, like, all right, look at this one, lie on this one. I'm still probably going to buy it online.
00:07:55
Speaker
You know what mean? I'm going to be honest. It's probably you're going to have. If I do, you mention that. There's a place, what's the odds of them listening? Minimal. It's what's called? Rustic Firmish. It's on 318. It's on 318. I always think that place is a front because again, how much furniture are they selling?
00:08:14
Speaker
Okay.
Gardening and Used Tires Reflections
00:08:15
Speaker
So let me tell you, they, um, ah my parents live in the neighborhood over near us and they, um, there was like this whole big thing where they cut down all these trees and they were doing like all these things and and like, seriously,
00:08:36
Speaker
how much furniture are you people really selling to have all this land and all of this stuff? And, and it's not cheap to have people come in and cut down trees.
00:08:48
Speaker
It is not. Hence me cutting down my own tree the other week. Right. Exactly. Well, it exactly. Yeah. And so that's crazy. Yeah.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah. I often think about that place. It's like, You sell one item a day, i think, if you're lucky. you know If you're lucky. There's no way. During the week, who's going in buying furniture?
00:09:16
Speaker
So just the running costs alone, you know this the hourly wage or whatever is of somebody in there, the rent, the light. I don't know. The mob.
00:09:27
Speaker
It is. With that place on three, I guess we're just going through all the local businesses and tearing them to bed. It's fine. Yay. There was their place, what was it called? Laguna Madre, which is now shut. But it just sold like- Oh, yeah.
00:09:40
Speaker
And again, that's a big piece of prime land and they sold plant pots. This said again, this- I remember that place. Yes. There's some new laundering shadiness going on in
Cultural Impact of Classic Shows
00:09:52
Speaker
that area, I think. For sure. and And why can I not be a part of this? I would like my hands in the pot.
00:09:59
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not judging. I'm jealous. Let me in here. I mean, let's be honest here. Yeah, we're not hating. just wish we were on the other side of this. Yes, that's right. I couldn't agree more. What a bizarre twist. and And we have gone down. That's right.
00:10:20
Speaker
So, mattress stores are a front that we... that that that And furniture stores and tires. But tired not tire stores because they're always busy. They're always busy. Even the little used place up here on 377. Always busy.
00:10:35
Speaker
So, not tires. Tires are on the up and up. But furniture... Yeah. Not for me. I no idea do whose question is next. Um...
00:10:49
Speaker
I don't know either. or you don't I think I asked do you how much the mattress was for sale. Yeah. Okay. So then what kind of mattress does she buy? Not talking about the race car, not the mistake, but the one that she actually wants. What kind of mattress is that?
00:11:05
Speaker
Obviously. And don't you dare tell me a queen pillow top because that's not the right answer. Okay. All I remember is it was a very dated looking.
00:11:17
Speaker
like Yes. Red. Yeah, red, pink. I've never thought about a mattress looking dated. That looks like it. That be straight out the 90s. Yeah. I don't know the answer. just remember the color.
00:11:31
Speaker
It's therapeutic. Therapeutic. Therapeutic. Sorry. Pedic. Uh-huh. And it's like T-H-E-R dash A dash P-E-D-I-C. There's a big sign like whenever they're laying down on there that says, Like, you got to, this is a therapeutic, therapeutic. Therapeutic. Well, let's see. We're going to go a different direction. and What is Dr. Green's nickname for Ross?
00:12:01
Speaker
Oh, is it? At the beginning, it's Wethead. Wethead, yes. Yeah, this is my number seven. And then at the end, it's Mr. Big Shot. That's right. Yeah. Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:12:15
Speaker
um Okay. Hang on. I'm going to write repeat so I don't ask that one again. That's what I'm doing. I mark them out. Yes. ah Okay. um So what does Joey say is the most important part of soap opera acting?
00:12:31
Speaker
That is the – that's my question, Seven. The importance of reacting. But that does not mean acting again. ah Correct. Yes. This is very important.
00:12:44
Speaker
That's one of those things that in just life in general, if I hear somebody say the word reacting, in my head, I have to kind of say, that does not mean acting again. Otherwise, I think my system will shut down. Like, I have to go through that. I'm saying it in my head.
00:13:02
Speaker
yeah Speaking of Joey teaching, where is where is he teaching? What's the place called? He just says, I got a job teaching acting at...
00:13:14
Speaker
The community college? That's what I would, add if I hadn't noticed this, I would have guessed. It's a place called the Learning Extension. Oh. Yes. Yeah, I don't remember that at all. Awesome.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah, it just when he comes into Central Park excited, he says, i got a job teaching acting at the Learning Extension. There you go. Yeah. good for Good for Joey. All right, in the girls' apartment, we never, um ah Phoebe and all of them are in there.
00:13:44
Speaker
What kind of flowers do they have on this kitchen table? That's a great question. I have no idea, so I'm going to guess.
00:13:54
Speaker
And they've got them in another spot in the apartment as well, like over by the big window. I'm going to guess sunflowers. Oh, that's a nice guess. Nope, tulips. And I've told you how sunflowers are terrifying.
00:14:07
Speaker
Yes. Yes, okay, good. And then Joseph killed my sunflowers that were there to... to give me exposure therapy and make me not scared anymore. And then it killed him.
00:14:19
Speaker
He said, everything in this area needs to die. He's like, are you okay with that? And and yeah, I guess so. Yeah. But they were giant. Some flowers. I don't know.
00:14:29
Speaker
yeah so you get huge right mean Yeah. Yeah. Those are the ones that are terrifying to me. Did I, did I tell you, was talking talking with my dad about those.
00:14:40
Speaker
Did I tell you about that? Okay, so I think after the last time that we talked about them and I was telling my dad, you know, yeah, we recorded today, blah, blah, blah. Do you remember whenever I was so scared those sunflowers in the backyard?
00:14:54
Speaker
And he goes, I do. And so my mom and my dad and I were talking about it and laughing. And the reason that the sunflowers were back there was because my dad was trying to make sunflower seeds.
00:15:09
Speaker
Really? Uh-huh. That's really interesting. I know. like, wow, really? Yeah. I thought they were just there and they were so scary. And he's like, no, I was, I wanted to make my own sunflower seed, like to consume.
00:15:26
Speaker
And I said, huh. That strikes me as one of those things that you would end up paying about 17 times as much as if you just bought them in the shops. That might be completely wrong. Yeah, I don't know. i don't know. but I think, you know, I i don't remember.
00:15:41
Speaker
you know, we just kind of we were like, huh, that was weird. And then went on, but we've all seen these things like grow something, plant something and make some, Oh yeah. No, I'm already excited. I'm doing my garden again this year. Cause I did not plant or grow anything last year. I did nothing.
00:16:02
Speaker
And I, um, like, Yeah, I'm doing my little stand-up garden. I'm clearing it out today so Joseph can repair it. Because he he built me during COVID this like rolling raised garden and out of bicycle parts. and just It's great. But it's overneath of this over the years, it's kind of and it's it's a little wonky these days. Aren't we all? ah Yeah, right. Right. Yeah, between COVID to now, um yeah, we're all just a little wonky. Right.
00:16:39
Speaker
But um he said that if I you'll get the dirt and stuff out of it, um he'll repair it and everything, and then I can use it again this year. So I'm really excited. I'm going to do that. I'm going to have my hanging plants. I'm, I'm, I'm.
00:16:55
Speaker
I'm going to be a growing this spring. I'm excited. to I'm excited to see that. And we'll have to get Haley to post these on social media for us. Yes. Yes. That's right. Maybe Haley will pull it for TikTok. There we go. We got to throw it in there.
Dinner with Dr. Green: Ross's Struggle
00:17:15
Speaker
Oh, whose question is it? I've already lost that again. Oh, I asked you about the tulips. And then I started sunflowers and yep. Okay. Well, my next one for you is who does Dr. Green want to say goodbye to at the restaurant?
00:17:31
Speaker
Oh. He said, I'm going to go say goodbye. know. Goodbye to the, and then he says the name. He sure does. He says it. And I was like,
00:17:42
Speaker
Huh. I should probably listen to that. And I didn't. And it was, ah it was it Lou Hans? No. item I don't know. made that up. It was the Levines. Levines. Ooh, hey, I have the right first letter.
00:17:56
Speaker
You do? Good for you. Good for you. i Yes, good for me. All right. So how much does Dr. Green tip? That's literally my next question. Yeah, of course it is. That's 4%. 4%.
00:18:10
Speaker
Yes. Which would be what? Let's see. downto du to du is Well, my next question for you is how much was dinner? Oh, $200. Do you know how much that would be in today's money?
00:18:25
Speaker
Ooh, I do not. Do you? I would imagine you're asking because you do know. I do. Can you imagine a dinner for three people is Manhattan $407. Yeah, can. that's, four hundred and seven dollars yeah i can yeah that's I sure can.
00:18:41
Speaker
There was a couple of lobsters in there. I've never paid... i don't know if I paid $200 for... No, definitely not. Actually, for a meal for three. but And they were drinking wine and you throw in alcohol and there you go. but And then market price for lobster?
00:18:59
Speaker
Yep. Like, I've had lobster, of course. and it's I love lobster. I'm like, are you about to hate on lobster because if you are just... No. no what watch it's I'm not hating on it at all because I've eaten it and it's delicious.
00:19:14
Speaker
Two things, though. i don't I have a slight adversity to working really hard for my food once it's on my plate. i think this and It becomes a yeah multi-stage thing.
00:19:26
Speaker
Not with lobster. That's with crab legs. You know what? I'm thinking of crab. I do love some crab legs. yeah That's one of Kate's favorite things in the world. I like it. tastes good.
00:19:37
Speaker
The work-to-meat ratio sometimes gets me a little bit. Yeah, and you get all sad. You pull it out, and it's like, and then it breaks inside, and you got to... Crab nugget after 10 minutes of, you know, don't know. But I'm not hating on it because it is delicious. It is delicious. Okay.
00:19:57
Speaker
Now, crab and lobster are quite different. They are. They are. um Yeah. just It made me think of that. But lobster... I wouldn't, I've never ordered anything market price.
00:20:10
Speaker
and Because that's scary, right? That's so scary. If you're looking at a menu and it says market price. Yeah. and no words I don't like it but just being a surprise.
00:20:24
Speaker
Yeah. Surprise. It's $800. Yeah. um Subway Takes, we ever talked about that. it's It's an Instagram. I'm sure it's on other platforms. But it's an account I really like.
00:20:35
Speaker
And it's just a guy and he sits down with people on the New York subway says, what's your take? You what's your your your thing about life that you want to share? And one of somebody got in there and basically said that ordering something at market price is the sign that you have made it.
00:20:54
Speaker
like' the goal it's not there It's not the fancy car or the penthouse apartment is being able to order things at market price. I am not at that station of life. and I am not.
00:21:04
Speaker
In education, we may never. and that's okay. oh Okay. So I just let, ah this is my new thing too, is that ah whenever we, you tell me something like this, I'm going to do something about it right then because i forget.
00:21:20
Speaker
and then I, And then, you know, i I don't know. So anyway, I just followed that guy on Instagram. So there you go. short. like Two minute videos.
00:21:31
Speaker
I love that. It's not random people, which I thought it was initially. kids He brings people in. a lot of them are comedians trying to make it. It's good stuff.
00:21:42
Speaker
Oh, good. Okay. All right. Well, I will check it out. He's on my feed now. I love it. There you go. Do you have any more questions for me? I've got two left for you. I do. I do i have i have three.
00:21:56
Speaker
Awesome. Fantastic. All right. Bring it on. Is it my turn? Well, think if you've got three and I've got two, why don't you go? Okay. Yes. And it's it is my turn because we started talking about something. I don't know All right. um and So why does Phoebe why does pebe know how to box?
00:22:20
Speaker
Oh, okay. That's a great question. I don't know. I don't, but I'm sure it's because she, I remember the scene. Sure. She, when she was living on the street, she had to defend herself.
00:22:32
Speaker
No, I don't know. I don't remember.
00:22:43
Speaker
Oh, we lost Woolison temporarily. So I'm going to hit the pause button on this recording. And Wallace in his back, who was about to ask me a question about the why. Yeah, I was. Do you know what the why is? And it's such a crazy question for me to ask that, but I just wanted to make sure.
00:23:01
Speaker
Yeah, I know it's the YMCA with the Young Men's Christian Association. In my head, it's a gym, but I think there's it's more than that, right? Because though people go to whack out at the why.
00:23:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. And they some of them have pools. Like whenever I was a kid, we would go there to shoot off um model rockets and things at the Y. that would be fun. But anyway, yes, Young Men's Christian Association. And so she was staying at the Y, and some of those boys weren't acting so Christian.
00:23:32
Speaker
How dare they? How dare they? Very rude. So she can make their nose bleed. There you go. Right. Good for Phoebe. All right, my penultimate question for you.
00:23:44
Speaker
When Chandler, oh, sorry, what is Chandler going to go and get when he sees the race car bed for the first time? He walks in saying, I'm going to go get, and then comes in and starts laughing because he sees the bed.
00:24:00
Speaker
And by the puzzled look on your face, I'm going to give you another small clue. He says, you know, would you like some? Would you like me to get you some? Dinner? Specifically, it's a specific type of food. oh Pizza?
00:24:14
Speaker
No pizza. He's going to go and get sushi. ah Oh. Yeah. Wow. Oh, I love some sushi. Oh, yeah oh dear. no Oh, yeah.
00:24:26
Speaker
yeah You're on the Joseph Woolison bandwagon where he's like, absolutely. But he's a good he's a good sport because Fred also loves sushi. And so...
00:24:40
Speaker
You know, Joseph will entertain us. But he's not, nope, not a fan. Didn't think i was like it. And I tried it once years and years ago. And then a friend, this is again, ten at least 10 years ago, said, I'm going to take you to a really good sushi place. Like, you have not you've got to have good sushi.
00:24:59
Speaker
So we went, I just don't get it. It's just, it's not for me. But good on those who love it. Yeah. Oh, I do. Oh, gosh. Yes, yes, yes.
00:25:10
Speaker
um yeah What have you got for me? um All right. So what would Ross rather do than go to dinner with Rachel and her dad? Oh, I thought about writing this down. is It made me laugh. out ah Like, it made me, it gave me a really good giggle. Is it something like jump off the Empire State Building and land on a bicycle?
00:25:31
Speaker
with no c ex it With no seat. seat. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I love it. I mean, it's just a what visual. My final question for you. This is an odd one.
00:25:47
Speaker
Okay. What does the sign say outside the mattress king? Where the name of the store should be, it does not say mattress king when we see the outside of it.
00:26:04
Speaker
Yeah. Low prices? no it says is Does it say this is a front?
Joey's Acting Class Misunderstanding
00:26:11
Speaker
It should say. It says Frederick Bed Central.
00:26:19
Speaker
Above the store where they are. Weird. Yeah, it is weird. it is we actually I should have looked out to see if it's a real place. That's my final question. Do you have any more for me? I do. I have one final one. ring it What is Rachel's chiropractor's name?
00:26:36
Speaker
well she calls him robert bobby but it's Bobby Bobby Dr. Bobby yeah Dr. Bobby Bobby yes we'll discuss that scene I don't like the way they turn on Rachel better um I didn't think you would yeah yeah' little ganggging up on it but we don't start there we start in Central Park it's a funny opening scene I think yeah impos is talking about Carl who has famous parents and can't climb on the dinosaurs.
00:27:11
Speaker
I was going to ask you, okay, you know, ah yes, they'll climb up on the dinosaurs and he starts, and then it it gives you a glimpse into everybody's brain. Yes.
00:27:21
Speaker
Okay, and did you know that this is the first time that we find out that Gunther's got the hots, like for sure that Gunther's got the hots for Rachel? So I got thinking about that and I didn't know that, but i did suspect that this might be might be the first time, because I got thinking, I don't think we've addressed that before.
00:27:40
Speaker
His undying love. Yes. Rachel. Good old Gunther. Okay, so... Um, I'm pretty sure that that's, this is, uh, okay. And then whenever it goes around into everybody's brain, I laughed, I laughed at everybody, right? Because the, the, it's so on point, like with what everybody is thinking. And then whenever Rachel says, you know, that if she squints, Ooh, here's another question. Do you know who she says she wishes he look like, or he kind of looks like if she
00:28:17
Speaker
I can remember again the line, but I don't remember who she says. Because you don't know who it is. Ah. um It's Alan, oh wait, I have it right here. Alan Alva.
00:28:33
Speaker
Alva, I think. Right. I don't who that is. But anyway, they... ah Maybe it's not Alva. Alvin Alda. Alan Alda. ah But anyway, him and 98, him and... um And he's older. Like, he's the guy from MASH.
00:28:53
Speaker
Alan Alda. He's the guy from MASH, the, like, main guy, Hawkeye. Okay. And... um But they ended up doing a movie together in 98. Oh, nice. Yes. And so there's a couple of other light connections that he has with people from friends. And so it kind of makes me laugh. But he looks nothing like David Schwimmer. And so it makes me giggle that, you know, if I squint, he looks like him. She sees something there. yeah Yes. And then um that song that Joey is humming.
00:29:29
Speaker
Yes. I have no idea what it is. Okay, I thought it was a theme song. And it is not. it it was It sounds like a theme song. It does. And that's what I thought it was. i was like, what theme song is that? with the it it I think it's Pink Elephants on Parade. But anyway, all my tabs went away. So, I don't know. right But... um But yeah, it's it's just like a a classical song.
00:29:58
Speaker
And it might be from Dumbo or or something like that. Right. I love that phoebe the the Phoebe line. Yeah. Who's singing in here? it'ss just It's just a quintessential Phoebe line.
00:30:13
Speaker
It is. So much. It is. And it makes you go, Huh? Yeah. Yeah. And then, yeah, and Chandler thinking about superhero. Yeah. and Okay. what And be invisible.
00:30:27
Speaker
Right. Which is so interesting. Okay. What would your superhero power be? Because, you know there's all kinds of, like, things about, like, if you could pick any superhero, what it actually says about you as a person.
00:30:40
Speaker
So, Kate, is funnily enough, Kate and I, she asked me this the other day. And I can't remember. I think I said the ability to fly. because then I could go anywhere. I thought that'd be pretty cool.
00:30:52
Speaker
But then she and she said that actually the ability to teleport, which I think is actually a better idea, because then it's like you don't have to, you know.
00:31:03
Speaker
You can just. How long would it take for me to fly at home? Hours. You know, many, many hours. That sounds a bit dull. So if I could just, you know, close my eyes and teleport to myself somewhere, I think i think that would be pretty cool.
00:31:19
Speaker
Yeah. how one I've got two, well, another question for you on that note, but what would yours be? I don't know. Because i often think about flying and not because, so I could get places quick, but because I think it would just be really fun. it would be very cool.
00:31:36
Speaker
think it would be just really cool to be able to fly. Yeah.
00:31:41
Speaker
um Yeah, and then I've often wanted to like be able to read people's minds, which is terrifying, right? And I think the older that I've gotten, the less I want to.
00:31:55
Speaker
I would say 100%. I don't need to know what's going on in everyone's mind. Right. I'm thinking about invisibility. Nah. No desire. And I would spend my entire life, if I was invisible, announcing that I was here so I didn't come off as a creep.
00:32:13
Speaker
I would be living in perpetual fear of people thinking I was a creep because walking around invisible. Yeah, yeah. Did you ever see the movie The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?
00:32:26
Speaker
Oh, yes, years ago, but I don't feel like it made a real big impact. I liked it, but i don't think it was a particularly great movie. There's a guy who's invisible, so he puts like white paste all over himself.
00:32:40
Speaker
And he walks around like that so, you know, you can be seen. And it reminded me a bit of that. And also reminded me of, and I feel like if you watch this, you would have loved it, um Heroes.
00:32:52
Speaker
Oh, Joseph and I. so Okay. Joseph was like, you will love this show. You would love this show. And so we start. So good. So good. but And we fell off watching it because, like, you know. It is one of those shows.
00:33:09
Speaker
that I feel like I'd like to go back and re-watch. Yes. Because at first that first season is so good. Right. So good. I think I might have to go back and at least give the first couple of episodes a shot. We're watching The Morning Show with Janet Bryan and Stinden.
00:33:27
Speaker
Yes. Just now. But when we finish that, maybe we'll throw heroes out there, see see what Kate thinks. There you go. of TV shows, we're going to re-watch. We go into the girls' apartment, and they're watching Happy Days,
00:33:39
Speaker
which I don't think we've discussed, the legend that is Happy Days. Everyone knows of the show. I have never watched it. I thought it was...
00:33:50
Speaker
I thought, I'm going to try and watch it. And there's not the whole series online anyway. Like, Amazon Prime starts at, like, halfway through c season two and only has a few episodes. Like, it's weird.
00:34:05
Speaker
We're going to try and find it. Interesting. I think whether you love it or hate it, it's a cultural, it's very culturally significant. Oh, yeah. Like, you hear, Joni loves Tachi all the time. Right. Yes, yes. And, ah you know, I watched, I've watched enough episodes. Like, I know all the characters and kind of what the story is and all that. But, like, yeah, I mean, it was fine.
00:34:35
Speaker
I never pretended to be any of the characters, though. That was not, see, we were Dukes of Hazzard. Oh, Dukes of Hazzard. If that tells you anything about just... I'm not sure what that tells you about, but we enjoyed playing Speed Racer and Dukes of Hazzard.
00:34:53
Speaker
I love it I don't know what it tells me. I'm going to hold on to that. Yeah. I think it tells you ah Texas and just silly. And I'm... ah Oh, we played Star Wars too. but but um Yeah, just south and just kind of, I don't know.
00:35:18
Speaker
It aligns culturally yeah with being here. Yeah. Very much so. There's a Mattress King commercial. It's on the television. Janice is going to get half the kingdom.
00:35:29
Speaker
But wait, I want to say that I did not know until I was an adult that it had anything at all to do with illegal um um moonshine stuff. I had no idea. No idea growing up. I just thought that the cops were jerks.
00:35:45
Speaker
Oh, okay. Gotcha. i thought You know, and they were just always picking on those dudes. You didn't know. you didn't know i didn't know. I had no idea. Yeah.
00:35:59
Speaker
i don't Not knowing is a good defense that would hold up in court. but Probably not. Probably not. But, you know, what ifs. Yeah, it's fine.
00:36:10
Speaker
Yeah, Janice is going to get half the kingdom post-divorce. Um... But Monica, she's she's quite on board with
Humorous Business Speculations
00:36:18
Speaker
the sale. Seems like a good deal. And Monica does like a good deal.
00:36:22
Speaker
Yeah, she does. We end up in Central Park. This where Gunther's wing is. Emoji tie from the future. And Rachel gets off the phone with her dad. She and Ross, they're going to have dinner.
00:36:34
Speaker
Ross is not so keen on this. I kind of don't blame him. I don't blame him. Oh, yeah. And then the fact that it's just sprung on you. i mean, and ah this is almost 20 years of marriage, right? But I know better than to just spring on Joseph and not expect some pushback.
00:36:56
Speaker
Like, I can't just assume it's all cool and this is what's happening. Yeah, I'm kind of with you. with this with kids And her dad sucks.
00:37:07
Speaker
Her dad sucks. He's the worst. Yeah. Like, I'm not, like, what what the one with two parties, is that the first time we met him?
00:37:18
Speaker
Like, I'm not sure. We've heard, and he wasn't terrible, but he just sucks. Not a not fan of him at all, to be fair.
00:37:32
Speaker
Um, but, you or she convinces Ross to go, um, This is where Joey bursts in. He's excited. He got his teaching gig at whatever the place was. I told you it was called the Learning Extension.
00:37:44
Speaker
um He's going to be you know teaching soap opera for a soap opera class, which, yeah, good for Joey. I wonder how he got that job. Good good for him.
00:37:55
Speaker
Yeah. but Giving back to the soap opera community. I mean, there you go. I love it. um We end up going over to the Mattress King. This is where Phoebe's gone shopping with Monica looking for the mattress.
00:38:11
Speaker
um I love her dated all, I say dated, you know, of the time. It looks, the whole thing, even the jester hats that all the staff are wearing. and no she feigns She finds the mattress that's right for her. and She's willing to get new friends if need be, or Phoebe certainly is.
00:38:31
Speaker
Yeah. which I really like that. I really like that, um that line. But ah yeah, they're going to buy from the Mattress King despite what, a which, you know, now I think about it, is buying from the Mattress King that if Janice is going to get half of it in the divorce, good sales is ah ultimately good for Janice, right? Yeah, but it's not Janice that they're worried about being upset.
00:39:01
Speaker
That's right, Chandler. That's right. It's Chandler. It's Chandler, which, oh, poor Chandler. old Chandler. of We get to see Joey's classroom now. It's an old-looking classroom, and I love it. Yes.
00:39:17
Speaker
You know, that's that's a hundred-year-old classroom, I think, with the the chalkboards and the the old wooden floors and desks and the way he writes his name on the board. Yes, with a chalk, and it's very, I am very i don't know if iconic's the right word, but very um yeah stereotypical, I think.
00:39:39
Speaker
And then just... them blue but Right. And the chalk breaks and all that. it's yeah Yeah, I was trying to date in my head when we went from I'm not even sure what way around it is, but black chalkboards to green chalkboards. And then now everywhere has whiteboards. Oh, interesting. Or if it was the other way around, I don't remember. But there were blackboards. Like ah we grew up calling it a blackboard.
00:40:08
Speaker
It's gone rather than a chalkboard. Same thing. Right, right. Sometimes the blackboards were green. See, okay. member So in my first classroom 20 years ago,
00:40:22
Speaker
Um, I had a green chalkboard. Right. It was green. And then, yeah, weird. Because i don't remember.
00:40:40
Speaker
Weird. Okay. Because I'm like trying to remember. I remember the one time i got my name written on the board whenever I was a kid. And in my memory, it was on a whiteboard written in black marker. But I know that there's no way that that's right.
00:40:55
Speaker
Right. I know that that's not. Yeah. Yeah. definite not yeah Yeah. Weird. Huh. One of the classrooms that I'm not teaching in it this semester, but last semester, one of the classrooms, the rooms I was in still had a a chalkboard up.
00:41:13
Speaker
I think allen so it goes, it went the entire length of one of the classroom walls. So I think and they just left it and we now have a projector screen that comes down. but It's kind of fun that they've left it there. um Yeah, it's it's an old looking classroom. And I think it it's just part of it. I quite like it.
00:41:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He's introduced to this class. I do love this concept of reacting. It does not mean acting again. And and his tools, you know tools of the trade, the tweezers and trying to do was a division in his head.
00:41:47
Speaker
um Yeah. All his acting secrets. Yes. they Yeah. And then the the fish hook in the eyebrow. And 232 divided would good baboozled question. Right.
00:42:06
Speaker
I would not known.
00:42:10
Speaker
ah Yeah. But I was, and so of course, because this is my brain we're talking about, I'm like, ooh, 232 divided 13. then I'm like, Oh, yeah, I do make that face.
00:42:25
Speaker
We all look up to the sky. and we Yeah. And then, uh-huh. Yep. yeah Only if I'm doing math in the air, i've I'm doing something with my finger, too. Right. oh yeah. but That's not a good... Yeah, that's not a good... um ah I don't know, strategy or something right some for me to look at. I think I do the same.
00:42:47
Speaker
Or I pretend to write it on a piece of paper. Like there's something to that. Without a doubt. Not is Joey teaching, he has an audition for All My Children.
00:42:59
Speaker
opposite susan lucci yes yes so you wanted to talk a little bit about susan lucci is that right i did but i feel like we have ah we have skipped a lot before we have gotten there okay well like in this time and before we got down there to whenever he talks about nick the boxer oh wait Oh, wait. Yeah, because he's got the audition. My notes, I'm i'm talking about whenever the student gets it. So never mind.
00:43:29
Speaker
All right. Susan Lucci, we briefly touched on her. I think it was last week whenever we were talking. It was either one or two weeks ago. um and we talked about all my children and um susan lucci and how awesome she is and so one of the big things in the 90s was whenever she kept getting passed over she would keep getting nominated for an emmy daytime emmy award right and then she would get passed over and passed over and passed over and it was it it was a joke and it ended up being like a whole big thing. Right. um
00:44:10
Speaker
But i mentioned to you off the air that I was so shocked whenever I found out that she quit being on days or on all my children in 2013. That means that she has not been on there for 13 years. And I was like, how have I, and I knew she wasn't on there anymore, but how on earth has it been 13 years since she was there? Because she was the the queen. She a little short and so fancy and she was mean, but not. And she was like whenever i remember growing up like her relationship with hayley which is uh chris um no why can't i think of her name the one that's married to mateo and it was hayley and mateo and uh they've got this they've got the tv show now where it's the husband and the wife and they um um like the old regis philbin show
00:45:08
Speaker
yep that is that's kelly ripper and yeah kill it swing all there you go and mark and it was hayley and mateo and um but she was she i just i loved all of that dynamic it was so good um But she's got a walk on our ah star on the Walk of Fame. She's got her Emmy. She's daytime's leading lady. And they mention, he calls her the what? The first lady of daytime television yeah or something like that. It's almost like and a frog in his throat or a tear in his eye. like this Like he truly loves Susan Lucci.
00:45:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Well, because she is, she's iconic in daytime television. Okay. So she had been nominated 19 years in a row, 19 years. That's incredible. And it was not until that 19th year that she actually won.
00:46:10
Speaker
it's done And so like after, ah you know, being nominated and then losing and, and all of that. Um, she finally won. And then whenever she was off of, um, all my children, she got the lifetime achievement award in 2023.
00:46:30
Speaker
twenty so So, so she got, she got her recognition in the end. She did. She absolutely did. And she got the lifetime achievement award. Like that's, that's amazing.
00:46:44
Speaker
But she, at the end of her acting career, she had had a total of 25 nominations. So she is, that's very impressive. She has set the bar high Susan Lucci. Yeah, she did. Way to go, Susan Lucci. I'm sure she listens. Good for you, Susan Lucci. She does. as She does. She is 79 years. She actually just had a birthday back in December, December 23rd.
00:47:10
Speaker
And so. Good for I love it. ha Well, Joey might be playing opposite her. He thinks at this point he's going to play the boxer named Nick. um I forget the exact line, but does he say that Nick has an evil twin?
00:47:25
Speaker
Yeah. I think that's sort a foreshadowing for Dr. Drake Ramore, who ends up... it's He, um when... um Oh, what's her name? Brooke Shields. Yes. You know, they pretend he stands for an evil twin. Yes. That's going make my news park up. was like, we've talked about, or we we will talk about an evil twin.
00:47:44
Speaker
Okay. But I don't know if it's really, truly foreshadowing because I don't know if they really, truly knew that that was going to end up happening. Probably not. I'm sure it's not. You know, probably not. But that is so fun. But the evil twin is is not, that's a...
00:48:03
Speaker
that's a, it's it's amazing how many in daytime television, i should, I'm going Google that real quick, but how many evil twins have appeared. Yeah. Because like on all my children, there was Adam and Stuart and Adam was a big fat jerk. And Stuart was like, so kind and like a little slow and super kind. um Yeah. So, and they were there at the same time. and so But Adam was definitely the evil twin.
00:48:35
Speaker
So, anyway. Interesting. Well, while you're looking that up, let me see. The Mattress King. Hear ye, hear ye. Delivery from the Mattress King. Comes on in. That guy looks so excited to be doing that, too. He's beaten down, isn't he? He's just... He just... You know, you can tell this is the tenth delivery of the day already.
00:48:59
Speaker
And... I just got no desire to... I was just having a quick... I don't think he's credited in the show credits.
00:49:10
Speaker
I was trying to see who he is, if he is somebody. Delivery guy. Oh, there we go. Andre Rossi Brown, who unfortunately has passed away in 2006.
00:49:24
Speaker
in two thousand and six Yeah, that's him. i just Again, it's one of those lines. He was in a bunch of stuff. Yeah, my wife and kids.
00:49:36
Speaker
um All sorts of things. Interesting. The Jamie Foxx show. Good for him. all right Definitely an iconic line. So while there is no definitive count, the number of evil twins on soaps is vast and new ones are popping up in every long-running series.
00:49:56
Speaker
So it's a
Ross and Rachel's Family Dynamics
00:49:58
Speaker
thing. it's It's a thing. The storyline of the evil twin. i know. i would like an evil twin. I would like one. Yeah. Make me look good. Right? Right. Yeah. Exactly. And then the plot twist. It's actually me. That's right. We're writing our own soap as we speak.
00:50:18
Speaker
ah Well, delivery, the bed comes in, but because Phoebe has whacked Joey in the nose, as we talked about, bamboozled, they don't really see the bed being brought in, the race car bed, that somebody's made a mistake.
00:50:34
Speaker
yeah Obviously, Phoebe signs for it. Monica, oh, that another question. Well, because she punched him in the nose, and now they're over there. Yeah. What's Monica's middle name? Okay, I was going to ask you that. i was like, I don't even know. forget Oh, but what's her real middle name? Because that's not it. She just makes it up.
00:50:58
Speaker
Her real middle name, Monica. bo um Oh, hold on a second. We know her initials for when she buys stock. It's Mag. It's Mag. yes Is it Ann?
00:51:10
Speaker
It might well be. i just don't, I don't remember. Okay, because that's that was going to be one of my questions that I was like, dude, I don't i don't need to do that to Al. I appreciate that. That's just rude. Right, that that's taking it to a whole other level.
00:51:25
Speaker
yeah But yeah, they bring in this race car. I wonder who made the mistake when, you know, I'm assuming somebody at the Mattress King put the wrong bed number down or something. I figure it was probably red.
00:51:39
Speaker
Because that's the only red one. and the and But yeah, who knows how that mistake was made. But who knows? You I just Googled it. Monica's middle name is never officially said.
00:51:54
Speaker
But we know for a fact her middle initial is E. Oh, E. um Not Mag. Meg. I mean, you're right there. um But it doesn't actually say anywhere in the show. There you go. don't know her middle name.
00:52:09
Speaker
But there you go. That would have been a mean question. Yeah, it would. Yeah. But we do know it starts with the E because of the stocks. Because of the stock. That's right. Right. We get to the restaurant seat and we meet the pretty horrible Dr. Green.
00:52:26
Speaker
Yeah. He's weird. He's coming in being a jerk. Yeah. Yeah. but There's no reason to dislike Ross. at I mean, we can dislike him because it's Ross sometimes. But why he would dislike Ross at this point? i Okay.
00:52:42
Speaker
No. i oh I'm going to say some crazy things right now. I know. i'm ready for Okay. And as a father of girls, that would be you. Now, in my years in education, i have often found that um there is a very specific type of man that is the father of girls.
00:53:11
Speaker
That is the, have my shotgun out and all of that. and there' And it's not all, it's not all, but you know, within three minutes of having a conversation with them,
00:53:27
Speaker
if if they're the kind that is like this. And I feel like Dr. Green probably falls into that stereotype. I kind of can't recommend people like that. I've got to be honest. I'm probably stepping on toes here, but the whole all of a shotgun ready for you. No, you won't.
00:53:45
Speaker
Don't be a dude. No, you don't. Oh, I'll, you know, if you ever, you I'll bury the body. No, you won't. Like, just get to know the guy. And if he's a jerk, him know he's a jerk or let your daughter know.
00:53:58
Speaker
right but whole shotgun stereotype you like but it's the same ones that are you know what did you do to make my kid act this way yeah and what did you it where nothing is the kid's responsibility and they you know And I feel like this is how he he's one of the, like, ah of overly exaggerated, that type of.
00:54:29
Speaker
and And, you know, and I hate stereotypes because, but there are as, you know, and as, and it's typically somebody who is the father of girls or somebody who is ah man Oh, I need to be real careful.
00:54:51
Speaker
Because the thing is, is like all i the the faces of these people like are scrolling through, but they're the ones that um don't treat their wives right. I know exactly what you're saying. Yes. You know, they, they, and it's like, yeah, like you can't come in guns a blazing because this happened to your, no, like that's not how that is. And I feel, like to handle things yeah, I'm talking all choppy and everything because I don't want to be rude.
00:55:27
Speaker
Right. Yeah. But I feel like this is him. Like, he's gonna hate Ross because he's with his daughter. And, um you know, i feel like he was probably a jerk to Barry as well. Probably don't think that being orthodontist is a high level advice.
00:55:46
Speaker
Exactly. That's not a real doctor. you find out he's like a heart surgeon or something. later but what we have been Yeah. He's either. Yeah. I think he's a cardiologist. Yeah. Cardiovascular. Yeah. Yep.
00:55:59
Speaker
And, um, And he's got three girls and a lot of money. And so, and, you know, him and Mrs. Green are now divorced. And, you know, you find out like they'd go out on the boat, but then it was fighting and then don't touch this and don't do that. And it's like and everything about that guy lines up with what.
00:56:19
Speaker
that stereotype so he's just a jerk i don't like him yeah no i'm right there with you and i do think ross is trying like he's making some some jokes be standing up for himself he to me ross is trying ah Like, he's been a good guy in this scene. Okay, and the wrong... Whenever he's like you know, about rust on the boat, and he's just kind of, do you know? i lost a bike to that when I was a child. And and i mean, and Rachel laughs too, because it's funny. That's funny. It's a funny joke.
00:56:54
Speaker
Yes, ah but but yeah, he just... Yeah, just not a fan at all. um but Dr. Green ends up leaving the small tip amount of 4%, so Ross throws the 20 down. Now, I was curious, like, I guess how the logistics of Ross paying would work, because they've obviously run Dr. Green's credit card, because he has receipt. Okay, but remember, one we're in the 90s, before you could just swipe. and go. Right.
00:57:29
Speaker
And so they probably ran the thing because, you know, he said, you don't want to go back and get that, the carbon on it. And so that means they used the credit machine. Yeah. you do Did you, have you ever used one of those?
00:57:44
Speaker
Never. you I know what you're talking about. I've never used one. Okay. So whenever I worked Foley's in the, ah I guess that was the early two thousands. Um,
00:57:55
Speaker
we would use those. um Like if, I'm trying to think if the thing, if we had the credit card, like swiper, yeah if if the machine wasn't working because it often did not work.
00:58:12
Speaker
Right. And it was messy and it was gross. And so what you would do is you would, you would run it and you would like put the card down and then, You'd put the paper over it and then you'd swipe the big thing and it would go back and forth. And then it was a, like a in my head it's triple, but I've, it only makes sense for it to be a double, but whatever. Um, but ah a triple copy and the credit card information was, you know, you did this to make sure that the card was there and it like, um,
00:58:48
Speaker
made an imprint of the numbers on the card. And then you would fill out, you know, the expiration date and then the person would sign the carbon copy or the copy. You'd give them the carbon and then they would leave with that. And then you'd put that in your bag. And then at the end of the night, that would, you would turn all those in plus the cash from the till.
00:59:13
Speaker
And then you're, you would run your whole, your whole, you know, receipt paper. Right. And so really, like they would have run it and then they he would have gotten the signature. But the fact that he tore it all up, if they did it with that machine. Yeah.
00:59:34
Speaker
Like then it's like he didn't pay. Interesting. Okay. That's good. i was curious about some of the logistics of that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:45
Speaker
And that like i don't know whenever it's switched over because I use that sometimes at the dry cleaners as well. Okay.
00:59:57
Speaker
Yes, it is. yeah I can picture the machine. I think I can almost hear the sound, but i don't yeah know much about it. Because it was all manual. It was all manual, and then at the end of the night, i whoever you gave the receipts to did something with it. Right. Who knows? Yeah. Joey is teaching people how to cry and react to doing something evil, or if you get bad news, right in the acting class. And this is where comes up and says he's got an audition for the same role. Yeah. the boxer i think i do love the way it kind of plays with joy doing the things that he used to yeah and is and he's like it's it's so well done like slightly exaggerated kind of fantastic yes um
01:00:45
Speaker
Interrupt me if I'm missing stuff, but we go back to the girl's apartment and Monica's, im sorry, Phoebe is kind of freaking out because she's waiting for Monica to come home and realize she has a bright red race car that she signed for. She made the mistake.
01:01:00
Speaker
And this is where Rachel proposes that she and Ross invite her dad to brunch. um Again, got to give Ross credit. He stands up for from himself. He's like, no, there's no point. But then he backs down because he again he sees how important it is to Rachel.
01:01:16
Speaker
So he's willing to give it another shot. um So so like a little credit little credit to Ross. But this is but right before we go into Monica's bedroom and she sees the bed. I love that. You must have won a prize or something, whatever it is. You must have won a contest or something. Yeah.
01:01:38
Speaker
yeah Yep. Yep. Yep. I love that defense. can i I don't know. It just, a I don't know. It landed well with me. This is where Chandler comes in. It just starts laughing. Yeah.
01:01:54
Speaker
And the fact that it's still got the the the plastic on it. because once she What does Monica say? yes She has nightmares sometimes. It's so good. like Why she has to defend the fact that they delivered the wrong bag.
01:02:09
Speaker
Well, because where did she buy it? that's Of course, i didn't that didn't click. And who was she trying to hide that from? Of course, that's right. That's when I watched it didn't click.
01:02:21
Speaker
Yeah, but at the same time, i mean, i don't know how much he'd really care. I don't think he would care much either, to be honest. I think they're just trying to be respectful, good friends. think so. I think so.
01:02:36
Speaker
um Let's see. So we go back over to the acting class temporarily. and This is where the shoot shows Joey is acting. And Joey is impressed.
01:02:46
Speaker
So he panics. And we find out Central Park, he
Ethics in Acting: Joey's Lesson
01:02:50
Speaker
not only told him to pay play the actor gay, but super gay. But super gay.
01:02:57
Speaker
yeah I can just picture Joey panicking. and Yeah. And this is the greatest idea he can come up with. Right. Well, and then Phoebe's like, well, if you really want it, then it's okay.
01:03:08
Speaker
It's okay to just screw over your suit like that. ah goods me I think when the girls apartment, right, this is where Dr. Green enters and Ross is rubbing his neck, which is kind of alluded to earlier that had a sore neck.
01:03:23
Speaker
And this is where it becomes very unhinged to me because suddenly Dr. Green and Ross are best friends. making Because they're being mean. They're being mean to Rachel.
01:03:35
Speaker
like Yeah. You know, I don't know. du Dr. Bobby... Yeah, and I don't know if they're really being like mean to Rachel, but they're being mean about Robert Bobby.
01:03:48
Speaker
Yeah, Dr. Bobby Bobby. Now, the only thing that I will come to, I guess possibly Ross's defense, because he knew this, is Rachel said one leg is two inches shorter than another.
01:04:02
Speaker
They've There's no way like that to me in my head, that that's requiring some sorts of surgery or something. Two inches is a lot. It is. Okay. And it's every, every time you go to a chiropractor, right? That's what they always say is that you're out of alignment and that um your hips are, are, yeah you know, however, but yeah, two inches is a lot. Yeah.
01:04:31
Speaker
Right. Two inches is a lie. and Her dad didn't know this. Her dad, the doctor, didn't know that. Yeah. So they might be right about Dr. Bobby, but I don't like the way that they kind of handle this situation. Right. Well, and you've also got to think, too, this is in the 90s, whenever chiropractic, like, was not.
01:04:52
Speaker
as widespread and accepted as it is now and you'll still you know there are still people that feel some kind of way and say things about chiropractors but um but a great one but it yeah yes i've always kind of been i wouldn't say really skeptical but just a little like you said like hesitant no they're gonna say when you go in this one's me she she takes care of lindy
01:05:20
Speaker
Oh, Lindy. Not like a carpet chair, just normal baby stuff. They favor one side. So Lindy goes in every couple of weeks and she's like she's awesome. She doesn't need to come back in for three weeks. It's one. She's realigned. It happens with babies.
01:05:36
Speaker
So there's no you know You need to come in every week or she's going to be lopsided her whole life. Or three times a week. and yeah no Yeah. Well, and that's that's the thing too, I think, like with any profession, right? Like as time goes on and you kind of... I don't know. They become more respected. and I think so.
01:06:01
Speaker
yeah yeah Because I'm just saying like... I went after an accident that I had a long time ago, I went and started going to a chiropractor and because I was, I didn't want to be on medication. i didn't want all of that. And my back hurts so bad. And I had stuff from like, whenever I was in a bus accident in high school that had done to my neck and it, that I just thought it was normal that whenever you roll your shoulders, everything pops. Like I thought that was a normal thing. I thought that just happened to everybody. and Apparently not. And um it it made a huge difference, but I was like, I don't want to be on muscle relaxers and all of those things. I just don't. And it was awesome.
01:06:53
Speaker
Awesome. Awesome. But it's, Just like a regular PCP or anything else is finding somebody who's good and honest that you can work with that you trust. Finding somebody's trust when they're not trying to sell you on something is always my thing.
01:07:09
Speaker
Okay, but but I laughed whenever they were talking about the renter's insurance. Because, yeah, Ross is the one who took it from making fun of Dr. Bobby to...
01:07:22
Speaker
talking about frustration with Rachel, right? But the redress is the dad says, you know, what what are you going to do? Somebody steals it and you're going to run after them. how are you going to run after them?
01:07:38
Speaker
like that made me laugh. I thought that was funny. But at the same time, I thought, God, like that would make me feel about this thing. Yeah. And I don't. it It's a bit mean.
01:07:50
Speaker
It's a bit mean. Funny, but a bit mean. Yeah. Speaking of being mean, this is where Joey explains to his whole class he has a confession to make. Yes! And they all clap. They all clap.
01:08:01
Speaker
Yeah. They give this round of applause and turns out the casting director likes, what does he say, the whole gay thing and casting of Susan Lucci for two years.
01:08:12
Speaker
um Joey has learned a life lesson in there, I hope. and then And he's so mean, telling them that they're too ugly to be on television. It is mean. I'm like, God, a dang. Yeah.
01:08:26
Speaker
Yeah. Joey's got a lot to learn. But speaking of Joey, he goes down with Monica, I guess because he's kind of the muscle of the group. you know He goes down to get this thing returned, and he sees Janice kissing them.
01:08:43
Speaker
ah It's icky. It's not good. Poor Chandler. Yeah. We say poor Chandler, but this episode does end up where he is very, very happy. Yeah, he is. Driving the racing bed, honking the horn. You know, he's having a good time by himself driving this race car bed. Yeah, he is hitting on imaginary ladies. That's right. Racing people. he's He's living a good life.
01:09:11
Speaker
Yes, I do like that it ends up on that. That's such a funny scene. Yes. Very Matthew Perry-esque. Well, let's We kind of come to the end of the episode, but who would you give your younger central park to this week? I'm going to let Bellatrix do it. She says... Oh, Bellatrix. She says, because Deanne can't say it it's...
01:09:36
Speaker
Ross. It's Ross. It is. I had a funny feeling. Yes! Yeah, because, yeah. He's funny and he's good and um all the things. and i'm Terrible.
01:09:53
Speaker
agree with you completely, actually, and also go for Ross. I think he's patient with Rachel's situation. you know yeah knows he's going to get clobbered by Dr. Green. He does it for Rachel.
01:10:06
Speaker
the the rust bicycle joke is one of my favorite in the episode and the one where oh no i had plans to jump off the entire empire state building onto the bike without a seat yes like yeah it's just a bummer it's just yeah i'm also i've got to got to give it to ross i think as well um We're going to go highbrow. We're going to go expensive this week.
01:10:34
Speaker
How many market price lobsters would you give this episode? Seven and a half. Seven and a half. I think I was going between seven and seven and a half. I'd forgotten about a couple. i'm gonna We're just going agree on all fronts this week. I love that for us. We are on the same page. In my head, it was a seven until we reviewed it. And I'd forgotten about those couple of really funny Ross jokes and a couple of other funny moments in here. Yeah. So I think seven, seven and a half is it's fair.
01:11:11
Speaker
Yeah. ah A good, you know, it's it's not a blockbuster episode, but there's some funny moments. There's some funny moments in here without doubt. Any final thoughts this week before we wrap this up?
