Friends TV Show Trivia Overview
00:01:10
Speaker
So, Friends premiered exactly 31 years ago this week on September 22, 1994.
00:01:18
Speaker
We want to give a huge thanks to our listener, Jess, who sent us a coffee through our Buy Me a Coffee link and requested this theme. Yes, if anyone else wants to show your support for our show and request a theme, our Buy Me a Coffee link is in the show notes.
00:01:33
Speaker
If you buy us a coffee, we'll create a trivia episode with your topic of choice. Now for our fun fact of the day. Did you know that Lisa Kudrow was already playing a ditzy waitress named Ursula on the show Mad About You when Friends premiered?
00:01:50
Speaker
Producers decided to have her character cross over into friends, giving us Phoebe's mysterious twin sister, Ursula. I wish more shows would do crossovers like that today.
Food Debate: Rachel's Trifle vs. Monica's Sandwich
00:02:02
Speaker
All right, so before we jump into our trivia questions, let's ask a couple of this or that questions based on today's theme.
00:02:12
Speaker
This or that, would you rather try Rachel's famous trifle, which was accidentally a combination of a traditional English trifle and shepherd's pie, or would you rather have Monica and Ross's moist maker sandwich, which is essentially a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich with an extra layer of bread soaked in gravy? Ooh.
00:02:37
Speaker
I'm not fond of the name of the sandwich, but... I think Rachel's is a little too experimental for me, so I'm going to go with the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich.
00:02:48
Speaker
What about you? the That sandwich does sound amazing. Not sure I like the name either, but i wonder what else they could name it. I like the extra gravy part. yeah Oh, me too. It sounds amazing. But I don't know. I think my curiosity is stronger for making me lean more towards trying Rachel's trifle because I just want to know what it tastes like.
00:03:09
Speaker
Joey seemed to like it. I feel like she might be on to something. Okay, this or that.
Pet Debate: Marcel vs. Chick and Duck
00:03:15
Speaker
Would you rather have Marcel the monkey as a pet or chick and duck?
00:03:22
Speaker
I kind of feel like Marcel the monkey would be a handful. So think I'd have to go with chick and duck. yeah And they were really cute when they were they were little. So and think I think I'd have to go with chick and duck. What about you? I think I have to go with Marcel the monkey.
00:03:35
Speaker
I think we could go on some great adventures together. We'd have a lot of fun. I feel like he'd be a good sidekick for you. Yes. And you love Aladdin, so you'd be like Aladdin. ah okay All right, everyone. Time for
