Bamboozled Game Rules
00:01:16
Speaker
I'm glad to be back. And yeah, well we're ready for this. I had to rewatch all of season two just to make sure that I was up on my lore with timing and i was surprisingly accurate. But yeah, I'm not shocked by this at all.
00:01:33
Speaker
I'm not shocked to know that. No, I haven't either. it's um It's fun to go back and go, hold on, was that the end of season one? Was that season two? And kind of look how far we've come over the last, I don't know, four or five months reviewing season two. it um It's a good one.
00:01:50
Speaker
But why don't we just get started right away with this bamboozle? Because that's that's what we're all here for. Lara is going to establish the rule. She is the quiz master, but I believe it's going to be alternating questions. But if I don't know the answer, which is very likely, Willison can jump in and steal the points.
00:02:10
Speaker
Or vice versa. Or vice versa. I suspect this will be leaning one way and not the other, but vice versa. Yes. You may surprise yourself. That's right. And I feel like all this building up and everything is just setting me up for failure. That's right. We'll see how it's got to go. We're trying to make you nervous, throw you off your game. That's what it is. That's what it is. You've got justice. Evil.
00:02:39
Speaker
You talked about it. You were good. Okay. So yes, we are going to alternate questions. I'm to start with Al and then I'm to start with, then I'm going to to Deanne. And if Al doesn't know the first question, he's going to get, you know, to answer
Scoring System & Game Show Atmosphere
00:02:53
Speaker
it. If he doesn't know it, then,
00:02:55
Speaker
will give Deanne the right to steal it. I love it. If you get right, you're not going to get it wrong. And I will tell you the answer if nobody's able to answer correctly. So looking forward to it. I love it.

Episode Discussions & Character Insights
00:20:29
Speaker
have got there. Yeah. Yeah. So I gave Al half a point. Rhymes with coy. Yes. Right. Come on. I can't give you the rhyme missing every single time. I mean, we're people. I know. Way to go, Al.
00:20:48
Speaker
Thank you. Good. Go you. All right. um how many time How much time do we have for more? How many more time how many more do we have time for? We're in no rush. How many questions do you have? Awesome. Awesome.
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah, let's, I mean, I'm thinking, what have we got? Five each? I say we got at least a few more, or at least. All right, let's do it. yeah I'm having so much fun. But wait, what's the score? ok Not that that's what it's all about, but...
00:21:15
Speaker
So right now, Wilson, you have 5.5 points and Al has 4.5 points. So you're still pretty neck and neck here Neck and neck. We're neck and neck, but we've had the same amount of questions. So, Wilson, you are in the lead.
00:21:29
Speaker
Okay. um I say we do at least, you know, let's just go say 10 questions. What have we done, five or six each? Yes. Let's do 10 questions each. And if it's tied, if it's tied there'll be a ah you know a wicked wangle card.
00:21:42
Speaker
And yes. This one's actually very interesting. So I'm looking forward to seeing if you get this. okay All right. I'm ready. All right. Ready.
00:21:53
Speaker
Is it Al's turn? yep yeah okay but All right. So what character actually first appears getting a condom out of Phoebe's guitar case?
00:22:07
Speaker
That we don't know his name in this episode, but that ends up being Frank Jr. Jr. but That is correct. Which I love. yeah Yes. And I really wonder if she ever remembers that, that her half-brother actually got a condom from her, or whether they ever connect it. Like, is he just, like, in a very weird cameo in that episode, and then they bring him back as her brother? or
00:22:40
Speaker
Is it like a foreshadowing thing? I wonder. What was the woman's name? I feel like, Deanne, you'll remember because I forgot this. It was not the lady. It was not the teacher, his future wife. It was not her.
00:22:55
Speaker
I know. You know what? What was it, Lara? It's Christine. Christine. She goes screaming, Christine, I got it! Yeah. yes Screaming in panic. Yeah. Yes. so Yeah. So that that was hilarious. But yeah. So I love that. I love that they like brought him in as like that random thing. And now like he's, you know, He's his brother like ninja stars.
00:23:20
Speaker
so I love it. I love it. Well, we are tied up, but I've had one extra question, I believe. So, Deanne. Excellent job.
00:23:31
Speaker
um
00:23:35
Speaker
oh Okay. So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you a question. And for this question has five answers.
00:23:47
Speaker
Oh, my gosh. So for each answer you get, you will get a point. Whoa! oh Actually, no. H.S.A. is half point. She doesn't make a fair. Half a point, okay?

I feel very good about my four. yeah And possibly the boy that's on Sister Sister. I'm just saying. I feel good.
Quiz Conclusion & Tight Finish
00:26:19
Speaker
I would not have got at least one of the ones you said, Deanne, because I forgot about Chris Isaac. Are we going to the San Diego Zoo here? Yes, we are. Oh, Deanne, it's the guy.
00:26:31
Speaker
It's the guy. You talked about him for a long time.
00:26:37
Speaker
And he's the voice actor. yeah there's Well, there's, yes, I might butcher his name, but something like Dan Castanello, who's the Simpsons voice actor. Yes. And in my head, I don't know how much of a celebrity cameo, but it's Fred Willard, who I just know from Everybody Loves Raymond.
00:26:55
Speaker
Yes. So Fred Willard, so fred willard i I know him mostly from like the Christopher Guest episode ah movie, like a Mighty Wind and Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman. Fred Willard's huge in those things. but I know him from Everybody Loves Raymond. He's Amy's dad, think.
00:27:16
Speaker
yeah so um i mean I did know that um Dan Castaneda from Simpsons was on it. so like He technically could be the sixth. You got the five that I was thinking of. so Very good. so There you go. Nice one. A boy from Sister Sister. There were seven.
00:27:34
Speaker
That's right. He was pre-star era. here Here's how we're going to do this then. right so that We're going to go with seven and yeah we're gonna give we're going to give Deanne two and a half points and then we're going to give Al two points or ah one point and then we're going to go from there. I think that's fair. You don't have to give me the half point for the guy from Sister Sister. You absolutely don't. He wasn't a star yet.
00:28:03
Speaker
Okay, okay. i yeah All right. So we're we're at Al has one. ah Al has, I guess, six and a half at this point and Deanne has seven and a half. So we're good. Okay.
00:28:14
Speaker
okay All right. I'm going to give. That was a fun question. I like that one. That was good. Thank you. All right. um Okay. This is going to be a more difficult one. Okay.
00:28:28
Speaker
I'm ready. It's a question, right? So, what original manager of Central Park perk has his last episode in the one with the baby on the bus?
00:28:45
Speaker

Speaker
I can picture him. He's got quite a unique voice. And and we're going to go with...
00:29:31
Speaker

Like, I keep wanting to say Damien, but that's wrong. It doesn't start with a D. wonder who Damien is. I wonder why that's in my head. don't know.
00:30:00
Speaker
I can't even think of a guest that makes sense in my head. It'd just be a random name. His name is Terry. name is Terry. Terry! Yes, it is. Terry. That is the original manager basically wants to play... And this is going to go into my next question, which is a little easier, who is...
00:30:27
Speaker
The singer and guitar player in the band Pretenders that sings professionally at Central Park instead of Phoebe.
00:30:37
Speaker
And that's for you. We'll listen, right? dang. Yeah. m ah i don't know that guy's name. The woman. She's in the band. I do know who that is. Dadgum.
00:30:53
Speaker
Yes. And ah because I didn't know who she was. And Al looked her up and was like, oh, yeah, she's actually there because her singing is beautiful. yeah And on my DVD version, it gave you the longer version of her singing.
00:31:08
Speaker
And oh, yes. Oh, good. She's so good. Yeah. I don't know her name. And she and she tries to sing Smelly Cat and Phoebe's like, too much. I wonder if you can get how smelly this cat really is. Right. Do you want name or do you want to take a guess? I know her name.
00:31:33
Speaker
I'm pretty sure it's Chrissy Hind. It is. Very good. dive that you did with. You guys are tied. you guys are ti hu Yes. right. We're tied with what we got. Maybe two questions left each.
00:31:48
Speaker
Yes. All right. Depression. All right. All right. So, um, Ooh, okay. So this one's for me. We've got two left. We're tied up. I love it.
00:31:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:32:04
Speaker
The pressure. alright Okay. Okay. So towards the beginning of the season, when Phoebe's doing her haircuts, What celebrity woy there Julie want Phoebe to make her hair like?
00:32:23
Speaker
ah I thought you were going to say Monica and was like, okay, I've got that in the bag. That's obvious. I want know what Julie are. pop out of the scene by way Something tells me Wilson knows. I'm going to give myself about 10 seconds to try and see.
00:32:41
Speaker
ah All I can think is who Monica wanted and ended up with. julie Julie wants a haircut like
00:32:52
Speaker
Willison, here's my gift to you Thank you, Andy McDowell.
Geller Cup Victory Celebration
00:32:58
Speaker
Very good. Yeah, because it was Demi Moore and Dudley Moore then Andy McDowell. and then Okay, so do you know who Rachel tells Phoebe lying to her? Because Phoebe's like,
00:33:14
Speaker
ah Annie McDowell is the one in like, ah I don't even know what she said, but before running dinner funeral. And Rachel's like, no, that's... And do you know who do you know who it is that Rachel tells her? The wrong person? ah I'll give you... No. Also McDowell.
00:33:37
Speaker
oh is it stevie mcdowell no ah it's rotting mcdowell so yes so so rachel's like that's rotting mcdowell so that she's basically sabotaging the haircut so yeah she is okay and see how many times i think a great question would be how many times does planet of the apes come up in season two because it's at least three because i forgot about this one yes It does come up. Isn't that weird? It comes up three times, at least.
00:34:11
Speaker
That's weird. Ryan McDowell. Yes. Okay. So.
00:34:19
Speaker
Okay. Whose turn is it? It's Deanne's. You just stole one of my. It's on you. stole it. Okay. Yeah. How does Phoebe explain opposable thumbs? Back to the evolution question.
00:34:37
Speaker
How does Phoebe explain plausible tongues? Al, do you know this one, by the way? Phoebe, it's on the tip of my tongue. yeah you
00:34:52
Speaker
This is ah definitely on the harder ones because it's not like out there. Right. But it's hilarious.
00:35:01
Speaker
Think like Phoebe, you know, like a very Phoebe answer. I gotta be honest, Wilson, taking the pressure off you, I do not know the answer. Okay. Well, and it has,
00:35:13
Speaker
does she talk about feet? No, she talked about, just talked about thumbs, but she said she says something uses it for something else.
00:35:25
Speaker
I'll tell you the answer. I'll give you the idea. Okay. That's all good. I don't know. so She says, maybe the overlords needed it to steer their face back. Yeah. No, it's coming back. Yeah. yes ah That's a great line. about That's hilarious.
00:35:43
Speaker
All righty. Ready? We're coming down the crunch, right? Because we have one question, but Wilson's ahead. So I need to get this to stay in the game. i Or I think... yeah You need me to miss mine and you pick up my question. Something like that. Either way. I'm ready. I'm ready.
00:35:59
Speaker
All right. All right. Ready? Yep. um Let me see.

Speaker
want to make sure I got a good one here. Okay. Okay. Yep, I'm ready. 1 5% of the global population actually has what condition similar to Chandler's?
00:36:21
Speaker
What was the percentage again? 1 to 5% of the global population actually has what condition similar to Chandler's? Oh, no. This might be Wilson's time to share. Is it a nubbin?
00:36:36
Speaker
Well, what is that? It's a third nipple. The third nipple. He needs his neptomectomy. All right. yeah all right All right. Actually, I don't know the term for it. One to five percent of the global population actually has a third nipple.
00:36:53
Speaker
Interesting. who knew Who knew? Every day's a school day. Every single day. Yeah. That's it. we are all tied up with Wilson's question. Is that right? But Wilson, you get first correct because it's your question, of course. Okay. To win it.

00:38:23
Speaker
Oh, that was good. that was good. i loved it. oh if I do have other questions, but, you know, I needed to like mix it up with like ones that, and like Al and I were talking about, you know, things that people may perceive as easy, the you know.
00:38:38
Speaker
You never know. and i never know. Right. So. Well, and that's the cool thing about this show is that it speaks to everybody, like the things that you really connect with and, you know, or find funny or, you know, it's different for everybody. Yes. Right. Or, you know, some people might be proud to be a Ross. I don't know. I love it. That was yeah that was amazing.
00:39:06
Speaker
What a good, I love a bumper bamboozled. Yes, Wilson. Oh, yeah, no, I'm like, choom, onto my, okay, so the conversation that we were having yesterday, and I texted Al, and I was like, Al,
00:39:22
Speaker
who are you? Because we started talking about that. We have a friend's pot or I have a friend's podcast with my friend Al and, you know, and he started this and, and anyway, we were talking along and everything. And then one of the people's like, Oh, you're Phoebe.
00:39:39
Speaker
And I was like, Hmm, I don't know. I would like to be a Phoebe. i would aspire to be a Phoebe, but I'm curious. I'm curious what, what,
00:39:51
Speaker
What qualities do you see that made you decide on Phoebe? Well, and I don't know that I've decided on Phoebe. The answer that I gave was that I um i said, I think I ah probably, you know, I like I always try to look for the best in people and in in the world. And I try to be optimistic and all of that.
00:40:17
Speaker
But then I've also got some controlling features that are very Monica-y. Now, don't look at my house because that is not Monica-y at all. But i there's there's ah the element of, like, control that I i like. so then i like you You like to control the mess.
00:40:39
Speaker
There you go. Exactly. Okay, the one with the dirty girl and a future season. he then My house looks like that. but yeah No, it does not.
00:40:55
Speaker
We can see behind you. The house looks immaculate. You're good. and wall So then he yeah they asked, like, what what's your friend that you do the podcast with?
00:41:08
Speaker
who yeah What is he? is he a Chandler? is he ah and I was like, I am going to ask him. okay so yeah I was surprised because you asked me and I thought, you know, I need an objective opinion. So I asked Kate, my better half. yeah And she went, you're Ross.
00:41:25
Speaker
and i was a me I was immediately a touch offended because we all know, you know. But then she was like, no, you're passionate about things like, to you know, like he is about dinosaurs, the things in my life I'm very passionate about. And then she said, you're you're faithful ah beyond measure like he is to Rachel. So she yes she she very lovingly pulled out his good qualities and said, these, these you know, the the passionate about things and faithful and blah, buth blah, blah.
00:41:53
Speaker
brought those up. As long as Phoebe's glossing over the copy girl incident, sure. Yes, Facebook. Yes, yes. Okay, Laura. ah So what are you? Who are you, Laura?
00:42:05
Speaker
So who am i
00:42:09
Speaker
I'm going to say that I mostly align with Phoebe. And that is because, and I talked about this before, why she's one of my favorite characters, is because she's unapologetically her.
00:42:23
Speaker
okay She's quirky, but in a way that makes her so fun and lovable and nonjudgmental. Yes. I have my judgy parts about people for sure.
00:42:36
Speaker
Don't we all? But I'm not always – I don't go with – I'm not into following trends. I'm not into following fashion trends. I just don't care. I'm me. Okay? And take it or leave it.
00:42:57
Speaker
i love it. So, you know, and if you decide to leave it, that's on you. There's a sensitive piece to it.
00:43:08
Speaker
But mostly, you know, I aspire every day to be more and more like Phoebe.
Season Two Highlights & Impact
00:43:14
Speaker
I think she really is just... I mean, and joe Joey also...
00:43:21
Speaker
also Like, his loyalty does not end. In all ten episodes, in all ten seasons, he's the most loyal person. I feel he does is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most loyal friend.
00:43:37
Speaker
Yes. So, yeah the but between the two of them, those are the qualities that I aspire to person personify. So, yeah. yeah So, those those are the two. Okay. See, and Al...
00:43:52
Speaker
lll um Al focuses on that quality of Joey often. yes And for me, that wasn't a quality that I really honed into until we started this pod.
00:44:06
Speaker
It just, it wasn't something that, you know, there's like bits and pieces where I'm like, oh, that was nice. Like, i felt like he was like, a creep, you know, yeah with the women. But, you know, there were things and it's like, but maybe he's not really creep. But I didn't ever really think so hard about it until we started this pod. And I'm like, actually, Joey is freaking awesome.
00:44:34
Speaker
Yeah. And honestly, when, and not not that I necessari necessarily love a storyline because I thought it was weird, but when Rachel and Joey get together, you really see a much more tender, loving side to Joey. and Yeah, but God, I hate that. It a short line, but you just see a little bit of a, you just, i don't know, something about, like, if you're looking at Ross Chandler and and Joey, o like, if I was going to pick one to be my, like, you know, imaginary boyfriend,
00:45:15
Speaker
It would totally be Joey. I mean, because, yes, he's stupid, but hilariously stupid. And got to give props to Matt LeBlanc because...
00:45:29
Speaker
You have to be really smart to be that stupid.
00:45:36
Speaker
I'm going to remind Kate of that next time I do something really dumb. Really smart to be that stupid, but yeah. Yes, I love it. Well, Wilson, I've got a few questions for you, Laura. You're sticking around. I want you to jump in with your thoughts. talk to my friends all day. My family all knows it.
00:45:54
Speaker
I love it. So you just jump in whenever you see fit. But well, listen, what was your favorite episode of season two? All right. So my favorite see er episode with 9.5 mugs was the one after the Super Bowl. I suspected it might be because that one was fantastic. um I've actually got a tie, which I forgot or I didn't realize. The one with the Super Bowl, but you know we again, we combined those because on the DVD it's one big bumper episode. And the one immediately following the one with the prom video, I also gave a nine.
00:46:34
Speaker
So the I say ended up with that one. I got nine. And then the one after the Superbowl was nine and a half. Yeah. I mean, just, just shining jewels in in the greatness that is season two. um who did you establish to be your favorite character in season two?
00:46:54
Speaker
Okay. So I went through, i counted up And my top, the one that I gave the most Gunther Central perks to was Chandler.
00:47:07
Speaker
Followed by Phoebe. and I love that. That's we have the same second place. Phoebe ended up being second for me. um But my number one for all of season. Let me make sure I've got this right on the right page. Yep. Is Rachel. um She came through with five Gunther Central parks over the course. um And I didn't track this, but I just realized that as I was looking through the episodes, Monica didn't get a single vote from me for all of season two, which I thought was just just noteworthy.
00:47:44
Speaker
She got two from me and Courtney Cox got one for me for that very last episode of the season because, God, she's such a good actress. like Oh, she's brilliant. She's so good.
00:47:59
Speaker
See? Okay. So, yes. And then we had our our magical Tilly, which we got to give first. Shout out. we'll give it i've got I've got a couple of things to say on the wonderful Tilly slash Mary, which... um But Lara, is there any episode that jumps out for you?
00:48:18
Speaker
Episodes? ah Or characters throughout the season. ah So, episode... what The one I really, really like...
00:48:29
Speaker
is the one where Monica and Richard start dating. him And um Monica and Richard start dating, and it's at her dad's birthday party.
00:48:46
Speaker
yeah oh Her parents are finding out. And one of the things I noticed in that episode was Ross's reaction when Monica and Richard tell Judy and Jack that they're together,
00:49:03
Speaker
And the way it's timed so well. was like and he takes that bat. The bat. um I'll take that for you. like just And just the way that Ross's reaction to the the revelation to the to the just, oh, guess what? We're dating. It's just hilarious. I really i really love Tom Selleck in that.
00:49:30
Speaker
In those, flows you know, he He's kind of at the height of his his gorgeousness. So, hey, you know, you know, I was the smitten kitten just like Monica. So, yeah, wow that was one of my favorite ones. I do like the Super Bowl ones a lot.
00:49:49
Speaker
I think, you know, you see so much kind of circling back. But yeah, favorite characters? I mean, i think, you know, Phoebe, I think, will always be my favorite character of anything. You know, she just has that wit. You know, when the whole thing happens with Chandler and, ah you know, Susie Underpants and the whole underwear.
00:50:14
Speaker
And, you know, she's like, can I borrow your G-string? Yes, you've been saving that joke up. yes Like, I've had a half an hour now. Like, I love it. So, yeah. So those those are my favorites.
00:50:26
Speaker
I love it. Well, we don't want to focus on anything negative on the Purple Door podcast, of course. But, Wilson, is there a least favorite episode of this season? Oh. Whoa. Whoa. Yeah. Whoa.
00:50:42
Speaker
Yeah, this was a tough one. Again, I tried to be very organic and I just look at what I scored them at the time yeah rather than looking back. So I had three.
00:50:54
Speaker
Okay. that were And you're going to have to forgive me because I did not look and see which ones they were. ah Yeah. But it was episode 22.
00:51:06
Speaker
okay Right. So that's is that the one with the bullies, perhaps? Yeah. Probably. Definitely. Yeah, because it's not going to be the two parties. um So I think it might be the bullies.
00:51:20
Speaker
and thats so Hang on. Give me a minute. you You're good. I'll tell i'll tell you i'll tell you mine because I looked up and I'm throwing this on you fairly. I get my lowest episode still came in at like six and a half. So it's not awful by any stretch.
Season Two Recap & Nostalgia
00:51:39
Speaker
But the one with Phoebe's husband,
00:51:41
Speaker
Even though there's, again, with every episode, there's moments you like. But that seat that episode as a whole just didn't land too well for me. Okay. So that one came in, gave it six and a half cups of coffee at the time. There was no other ones that landed at six half. There was a couple of sevens.
00:52:01
Speaker
um Let's see. The one with Ross. No, that was seven and a half. Let's see. The one with the breast milk came in at seven for me. Okay. The the one one where Ross and Rachel, you know, that one was slow for me.
00:52:18
Speaker
Yep. um Again, that one has Richard in it. So it's it's it gives you that, but the episode itself wasn't great. um The one where Joey moves out, I'm kind of surprised with hindsight. I gave that a seven. But I did. So there was obviously reasons for it. And then finally a seven was...
00:52:36
Speaker
um Again, I'm kind of shocked at myself because I love Eddie, but the one where Eddie won't go, i gave a seven. Interesting. Which almost seems like it must be a mistake, but that's what I've written down. And then um the one with the bullies, definitely seven. Just didn't love that storyline lot. Okay. what Guess what? Tell me. was the love of the two parties.
00:53:00
Speaker
Oh, it was? Okay. That was lovely for me too. And... The one where Eddie won't go. Yeah. Which surprises me with hindsight because we we both think that Eddie is superb as a character. Yeah. i mean, he was a great character. You and know, you have the fish, you have the dehydrating vegetables, which in love God. And watching Chandler sleep.
00:53:26
Speaker
i like Yeah. So many. There was some great. And then that was also with the wind keeper book. That's right. Yes. isn't it fun Isn't it funny how when you look back on it, it's different than when we kind of deep dived and analyzed. Right. because It's a funny thing, isn't it? um but what we on there Sorry. Go ahead, go ahead Laura.
00:53:49
Speaker
mean, the outtakes from the one with the wind, the wind keeper, be your own wind keeper. Oh, how they ever got through it. Yeah. Yeah. Swing snapper! Yeah. It's but just hilarious. Like, I love it. it's It's so good. It's so good. But on on that note, DM, do you have favorite moments? or Favorite moment? Moments? So not whole episodes, but just things, scenes, characters, all that kind of stuff that just jump out at you as little highlights. Okay.
00:54:23
Speaker
Okay, so the whole thing with ah Susie Moss just cracked me up about what a psychopath. But I'm here for it. I am here for it. Like, what a psychopath. Like, hanging on to that and planning that.
00:54:46
Speaker
Psychopath. I love it. Love it, love it, love it. I mean, I hate to, like, really blend the character with the actress, but I'm really rooting for Julia Roberts there.
00:55:00
Speaker
yeah so Yeah. She she plays it, I mean, Julia Roberts, right? The A-list of A-list. She plays that so well. yeah Yes.
00:55:11
Speaker
yes I mean, that i was so I was sold on, I didn't see it coming, you know, at all, that she was just setting him up. Mm-hmm. So good.
00:55:23
Speaker
Yes. And then ah my heart, whenever they're at the wedding at the very end. And that's why I gave Monica the, the, I mean, ah Courtney Cox, my Gunther Central perk, but where they're dancing and it's like,
00:55:42
Speaker
they have that conversation and then Tom Selleck said, she's like, so what now? He's like, we just dance. And it's so because it's not dramatic. It's not, it it's just heartbreaking and sad. Like i could tear up over it. yeah Yeah. It was very, very sad. And I actually don't love when they bring him back in the third season with that whole they're just friends thing that whole thing just bothers me so ah and i i like i don't want to be negative but like ah yeah just that just yeah it it would have been a ah very sad but beautiful way to end tom selick's
00:56:29
Speaker
and Yeah. It's time on friends. But yeah, it comes back what kind of midway through season three, I think, um is when he comes back. But I'm torn on that because I do love the character of Richard. Tom Selleck is amazing.
00:56:43
Speaker
But you're right. It's like that that would have been tragically sad, but a brilliant way to end his involvement. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. it was but Speaking of weddings, I'd love to throw three things out at you guys for my favorite moments. i'm kind of I've got three favorite things for three different reasons. And I love um the one with the lesbian wedding. I love the story the story behind the kind of political...
00:57:08
Speaker
landscape at the time. Newt Gingrich's sister, who I've talked to via Instagram, who would have loved to have been on the episode. um she just She's not very active on social media, didn't see the message, but replied in a beautiful way. um You know, she would love to speak to us sometime about it. You know, the way that... um Susan acts towards Ross. I'm not a huge Susan fan, but i love the moment where she's like, you did a good thing. And and that, I love that, um that moment between them. And and i think right and Ross does a good thing.
00:57:43
Speaker
um We got highlighted. He gets over himself. Yeah. He gets over himself and the hurt that he has from Carol leaving him. And he puts it in a, you guys love each other. This is the right thing.
00:57:57
Speaker
Who cares what anyone else thinks? I think that is a powerful message. And this is his ex-husband telling her that, showing what good person he is. Yeah. Fight the heart, fight everything that happened. So, yeah.
00:58:13
Speaker
Yeah, I completely agree. Pound for pound. In terms of guest stars, it doesn't get much better than Eddie for me. Zingers all the time. Every line is fantastic.
00:58:26
Speaker
For the amount of time yes he was in the show, too after' two episodes, right? now Two, maybe three. Was he in the one where Dr. Omori dies? I've suddenly forgotten. But he has the most lasting effect for me. um I love it when I stumble across episodes with Eddie in it. um So ah just his appearance is a highlight for me for season two. um I think he was in the one. Yeah, he was in the one where Dr. Romo died because he's still living with Chandler.
00:58:58
Speaker
Yeah, that's in between. the yeah So that's the one right before Eddie won't go because then he just does another crazy thing. Yeah, yeah Dr. Romo dying a sandwich between Eddie moving in and then won't go. And speaking of Eddie Won't Go, on sort of a you know podcasting personal note, um we cannot let a season review go by with without speaking about Mary Gallagher, who played Tilly, you was gracious enough to give her time and has stayed a friend of the podcast um since then. We've sent some messages back and forth.
00:59:32
Speaker
She's just been a great friend to the pod. So a huge thank you to Mary Gallica for what she has done for us. And long may it continue because she's ah just a a good egg, a good egg. And we're so thankful that she gave us her her her time a couple of months ago.
00:59:48
Speaker
So, yeah, those are three favorite moments and things coming out of this for me.
Season Three Teasers & Excitement
00:59:53
Speaker
Eddie, the lesbian wedding. And then, like said, on a podcasting note, um tilly slash mary um speaking to us and giving us those great insights um so that was fantastic um let's think wilson any other thoughts about this this season before we kind of wrap this up it was a good one it was yeah a really good one um
01:00:19
Speaker
I'm pretty excited about um Frank Jr. Jr. being back in the in the picture. Yeah. Yeah, it it's it was a it was a really good season. And in my brain, I'm always like me. The first couple of seasons aren't really my jam, you know, and I've really enjoyed going back over this season because this is actually a really great season. It um it doesn't have the big, um
01:00:54
Speaker
you know, the the the big to me things because I'm a Chandler and Monica like fan for life. ah And ah you know, there's not a whole lot with that, but gosh, there's so much good stuff. Like, you know, I just, I, it was a great season, great season.
01:01:19
Speaker
And I'm very thankful. I love so interesting trivia about season two. That's the only one that doesn't have an actual Thanksgiving episode. Really? Very interesting. I was not, I had not caught that.
01:01:36
Speaker
no Yeah. Because there wasn't. i think it though And if you look at the episode goes from like beginning of November, November 16th, then it goes, the next time you have an episode is not until December.
01:01:48
Speaker
So, it there's no there's no Thanksgiving episode in season two. I'm the only one that doesn't have it. It's so interesting. I didn't didn't catch that. and It's so funny, Wilson, as you were saying, um ah the context has gone in my head. You just said the word gem. Oh, it's not my gem. yeah yeah And um i was I was just glancing through season three.
01:02:08
Speaker
this The first two are great, but then the third episode is the one with the gem. yeah And it just makes me smile. Yeah. You know, as you were saying that, I was looking at that. um and just through this There's some great episodes coming up, but just whet the appetite of listeners, the one with the jam, as you said, the one with Frank Jr., the one with the race bed.
01:02:30
Speaker
The one with Joey's Dirty Day, because I don't actually like the whole art the episode about Joey's Dirty Day and the fishing thing, but...
