Speaker: Well, hello, welcome to this week's episode of the Purple Door Podcast, a friend's rewatch pod. I have one of your hosts, Alistair, alongside, as always, Deanne. Deanne, how are you today?
Speaker: I'm doing awesome, Al. How are you? Yeah, wonderful. We're recording early on a Saturday morning. The day is ahead of us, and it's going to be a great day. Yes, it is. It is. It is. The weather's changing and everything is awesome. It is. i mean, it's not it's not too hot to go outside, which is just, just wonderful. But before we go outside and we seize the day, why don't we talk a little, friends?
Speaker: ah Yes, let's. Because my man. Okay. The one with all the wedding dresses. All the wedding dresses. I love a good wedding dress. I've always loved a good wedding dress. It's a fun one. I had made a bit of a faux pas.
Speaker: Just when I was thinking about this episode, I thought it was the one where Monica gets her wedding dress at the discount place. Oh, where they're blowing the whistle and all of that. Yeah. No, not that one. Of course it's not. But this one equally is fun.
Speaker: Yes. And this is the one. Okay. So if you talk about that one where they're shopping and running around and all of that, and then this one, this one, my relationship with the wedding dresses is a lot more,
Speaker: i I can relate much more with this episode than the other. I love it. I am looking forward to hearing your stories about this. But before that, before that, we are going into ah another unvetted bamboozled. We're going to have to see what happens.
Speaker: and du da Yes. Kate hasn't had chance to go through them, we are just going to wing it. That's right. That's right. and And this has not been fully successful in the past without Kate's help. It's not. We do need Kate. So we need Kate.
Speaker: But we're going to do it it's to be great. It is. It is. Well, who it goes first? You. Alright, let's see what questions we have Alright, in the opening scene it is me I just looked up from my notes and that I'm ready I am ready In the opening scene what cup of coffee is is being poured for Chandler?
Speaker: In the opening scene? I'm looking for a no, you know you know i say the opening scene after Joey snoring when he's in Central Park i miss recording steve hey I'm looking for a number.
Speaker: Oh, oh that is it fifth fifth cup of coffee? It's not the fifth cup of coffee. Fourth? It is the fourth indeed. you okay Okay, yeah. I felt like four was a weak number, so in my mind i just automatically popped it up.
Speaker: more. I like it. You've got it. Say four cups of coffee, no bacon. Five is where it's impressive. Five is where it gets, yeah, that's a whole other level. All right. What color is Joey's mouth guard?
Speaker: Oh, that's a good question. Is it blue? It is blue. All right. Nice. We are both one for one. My second question for you is what day and time does Ross suggest he, Emily, Rachel, and Joshua all go out? Look at day and the two.
Speaker: She would have thrown this question out because mine is the double date supposed to take place? But sunday at it's seven and then she says make it for three.
Speaker: Yes. yeah but Well, my question was initially, what does he suggest before he books it?
Speaker: It's slightly different. that They do book it for for that time. Sunday. Sunday at a different time. Is it eight? It's nine o'clock, which is insane. Nine o'clock, which is so late, right? On a Sunday evening.
Speaker: Yeah. um That's wild. Yeah. That's wild. And then she says you should make it for three. um Yeah, so I don't know. i got it wrong.
Speaker: so Well, you know, let's just get rid let's just get rid of that question. And I'm going ask you a different one, which you may have got a funny feeling you'll have this one. What's the name of the bridal shop that Monica goes to?
Speaker: Oh, I don't have that one, but I know that it's Beatrice. It is indeed. You are two for two. We're counting that. That's fantastic. oh ah Okay.
Speaker: What song did Phoebe think Joey was humming in the coffee house? That's the Olympics. Yes. Such a tiny joke, but I love i love that.
Speaker: All right. My third question for you. What time is it when Joey is complaining he's so tired about having to stay up all night? six o'clock it is six o'clock indeed you are on a roll all right where did phoebe get her dress uh it's a place called it's not too late is so good so silly all right so silly silly silly what's the name of the lady chandler flarksworth in the sleep clinic
Speaker: Oh, no, Al! What's the name of the lady at the sleep clinic? It's Majory or Marjorie or something like that. All right, I've asked you three and I've got two left, so fingers crossed. Well, no, one of them is too similar.
Speaker: And this one, might we might be just doing it out of three and calling it. We'll see what happens. Well, you know, did you answer this one? I'm not sure. What is the name of the restaurant that Ross books the double date?
Speaker: Oh, I don't know. yeah All right. He says at at Sunday at at six.
Speaker: You're going to have to. Just take a stab. Antonios. You know, and yeah I feel you're not. mil It's Arnie's. Arnie's it is. It was a name. It's not even close. It was one name, you know. I don't know.
Speaker: Yeah, it started with a vowel. Exactly. All right, so you are for you three out of four, but that's all the questions I can muster up. Okay, well, guess what? Yes. No. No, I lost.
Speaker: No. You didn't lose because you got three out of four, and I've got, I think, three out three. So I'm happy to call that a tie. You got a perfect score, Al. You won. That's all right.
Speaker: We will we will will figure that out. that um Yeah, ah you won. You got a perfect score. I i did not. I did not.
Speaker: Well, that was an unhinged version of bamboozled. We need Kate back. We'll get her back. I was going to say, that just ah qualifies the statement. We need Kate. Absolutely.
Speaker: there's What do you have in your cup of tea and or coffee? It is definitely coffee. And I don't. really know what that is. It grows. o That makes me a sad panda. Oh, no. Okay. I'll put my coffee over there. Well, I've gone to pour you a fourth cup. I'm finishing mine off right here.
Speaker: Right. Like, ew. That's sad. Okay. Well, we're going to start in Joey's bedroom. He is snoring so loudly. He wakes Chandler up next door.
Speaker: I love that Chandler ends up you slamming the door to startle him awake. You got much experience with snoring in the Woolison household? um Yeah. Yeah. um My better half. He snores from time to time. I can always tell that it's allergy season. Yes.
Speaker: um And I just have to make a point to make sure i fall asleep first. that's Because it won't wake me up, but it sure will keep me from falling asleep. I'm pretty sure that's Kate. I used to snore.
Speaker: i lost a bit of weight. I stopped snoring. But I know the threshold of my weight where i start snoring. so that's and and And Kate can tell before I get on the scale if I've gotten too close to that number.
Speaker: um Wow. Yeah, it's it's a very, like, within a couple of pounds window. but it it It tips me over the edge snoring-wise. um well that's That's it. all Or I'm sick. and um Or, again, allergies, but I'm very lucky. I rarely get them.
Speaker: Yeah. Had them had them this this season for the first time in a long time, I feel. But yeah, so Joey has developed a very loud snoring habit. We go to Central Park, Chandler's getting, I did write my notes, his fork up in a pink mug. There you go. And Monica's drinking out of a green mug. I did not note that. I love that he and Gunther are trying to make small talk and Gunther just dismisses it. He's like, you don't need to fill these silences. Yes. Although I would have loved to find out more about what Gunther does outside of Central Park.
Speaker: Yeah. Well, we know that he was an actor on General Hospital. That's right. That's right. He's probably got some weird and wacky hobbies, I feel. Yeah. And he's always available to be at anything That Rachel is at. He will drop in. They invite him to. He is there.
Speaker: Yes. He is on it. um Yeah. Joey says, I kind of like this back and forth. Joey says that, you know, Chandler's the one with the problem. He should go to the quit being a baby and leave me alone clinic. Which is so funny. And what about his like Hawaiian shirt in that scene? It's very loud. But I couldn't figure out like what was on it.
Speaker: You know? Yeah, it was I was going to look for, know, what is it, a floral pattern or what is it, but I couldn't quite couldn't quite make it out. I did look up this whole, you know, you got to do what you got to do, I got to do, I got to do line, and it's apparently from, excuse me, a movie called Heat.
Speaker: He's quoting that from the movie Heat. I didn't know that. Yeah. I don't even know what movie that is. No, no, neither do I. But apparently that's where that line is from.
Speaker: um Ross comes in and Joey starts with the wedding march. Phoebe thinks it's the Olympics. I feel like the wedding march, the Olympic theme and the graduation theme are ones that people get muddled up.
Speaker: like Oh, for sure. yeah Because you don't hear them all the time. Right. You know, like. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah Yeah, but ah yeah, I don't know. Okay, I'll go.
Speaker: Hum the Olympic song. da du dada da da da Okay, I was like, i can i could pull the wedding march and I can pull um graduation like that, but the Olympics, I could not.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't think I could do the wedding march off the top of my head. yeah no of course it is here comes the bride of course it is yes yeah yeah but okay well then go ahead now it's your turn to graduation uh da da da pump and circumstance right yeah it is yes we did great look at our school The Purple Door Podcast, a musical pod. Oh, goodness. Al, did I tell you that I had to sing in front of people all by myself?
Speaker: That sounds horrifying. Not that you know you're singing. It was horrifying. yeah It was. Because I don't know if you know this or not, but I cannot sing well. did not know all that.
Speaker: Yes, no. I mean, and I feel like you can listen to me talk and make an educated guess that probably singing is not going to be my forte. But um yeah, I sure did.
Speaker: sure did. was going to ask you, what was the situation? had an accompaniment on piano and I sang all by myself in front of a panel of people. what And it was awful. was the situation?
Speaker: ah I was auditioning, of course. oh of course. But Al, this was like a for real life audition. This is not like a you're in a group of eight people and y'all are all being silly and we're going to do these things.
Speaker: It was like legit. like I had to like read a script and things. And I was like, oh, oh, and please sing.
Speaker: You had to have a song prepared. And I said,
Speaker: That would be terrifying. you can sing happy birthday. I found out the day before. And so I went to our music teacher. And I was like, I need you to teach me how to sing happy birthday.
Speaker: Not the way that I sing it. Because I do it for the comedy. sing happy birthday for the comedy. ah my entire life. So... Don't we all? Don't we all? Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. What I did not know is that happy birthday is actually a very difficult song to sing because it goes up octaves and a a typical pitfall that people have is they start out too high. Indeed, because it goes up and up. I've heard that before. You knew that. I did know that. i've heard that before. it It is notoriously and you have to start lower than you think.
Speaker: Yeah, I had no idea. No clue whatsoever. Miss Van Ort taught me that, and I was like, oh, really? okay.
Speaker: Good for her. yeah That's awesome. Good for helping you out. yeah I love it. my Dude, yeah, but it was it was it was bad news bears. So we're revisiting that after...
Speaker: The New Year, or I don't even know this. It'll be after the New Year, Al. It's probably going to be before then. But anyway, we're going on a couple of auditions just for funsies. Why not? Why not? Yeah.
Speaker: Why not? Okay. We'll give us some jazz hands and we'll, yeah. We had to dance too. Oh, no. whole time. The whole time. I'm thinking,
Speaker: Oh, my God. This is so much like bring it on because like we had to like tuck and then pop out with our jazz hands. Jazz hands. Whoa. Good for you. Good for you. It was whole thing. Good for me. I don't know.
Speaker: i did not know what I had walked into until it was too late. You you know who you are? You are my nana. I am, i am Nana. You are a I am, the other, i'm also just a little of the other Monica. Yes. Just a little. Just a smidge. Yeah. yes Just a smidge, but I am a Nana. Yeah, yeah I am. let's see monica Speaking of Monana, Monica is says Rachel is upstairs not doing the dishes. And she was right. the Evidently this was true. Rachel's not doing the dishes.
Speaker: Monica really knows that's the case. And then Ross asks Monica to pick up the wedding dress. And again, one of one of an iconic Friends moment where Chandler is ak running around doing errands.
Speaker: Whoop-a! and the And the whole whipped discussion. oh Yeah. Yeah. What a dork. What a dork. Indeed.
Speaker: It reminds me of Joey learning French, you know, where Chandler apparently can't hear that his whop-a is not the same and sound that Joey's making. is not or uh-oh. Yes. There you go. I was like, I was getting my arm going, but I couldn't make the noise right. It's the dance moves. You can't help it now. It isn't. It's just It's whop-ah. Whop-ah.
Speaker: oh ba Well, Monica was right. We go up to the girls' apartment. Rachel's just reading a magazine. um and then here But she's wearing her dishwashing gloves. So I have a question for you about those. See, in the UK, it's a bit of an old-fashioned name, but they have a name, those things.
Speaker: And I was going to ask you, what do you call them? Are they just dishwashing gloves? No, they're rubber gloves. Rubber gloves? Yeah, not sure why. No, I've got to Google it quickly. Why why am I doing this now? um Yeah, they're just rubber gloves.
Speaker: um they they You'll see them like also in haunted houses a lot. like If you have somebody who's like a... ah I don't know.
Speaker: Like a... oh like a mad scientist or something yeah yeah mad scientists or a butcher or anything like that they'll wear those gloves yeah i was just looking at at the uk they're kind of known as marigolds and i've never really known why and it's it's a brand name of like the most popular launched in 1947 so i forget what that's called where a noun becomes just like the proper noun you know you use that to describe all yeah that was like white out Yeah, all the white-edged discussion. Yeah, marigolds. Yeah. Yeah, I've never actually looked that up. um
Speaker: But she runs back to the sink, thinking it's Monica. Ross comes in and kind of talks about the whole marriage thing. I guess this was a good thing for Ross to do. He's trying to care for Rachel and make sure she's fine because he would feel weird.
Speaker: But then, man alive, does he fumble the ball with this kind of condescending line? Yeah, does. I bet this will happen for you one day soon. Just hang on. Just hang on. Hang in there.
Speaker: That's what he says. Hang in there. That's right. Like, I was all on the you know Team Ross for the first 30 seconds of this interaction, doing a good thing, but then he lost it. He lost it. there Rachel understandably gets defensive and says to see Joshua, she and Joshua are serious after four days. They're connecting in every way.
Speaker: And this is where Ross suggests they all hang out and have dinner on Sunday night and It's all going to spiral. It's all going to not not end so well for Rachel here. She blows like ah the raspberry sound and then but then she pretends she was singing.
Speaker: i believe your singing trumps Rachel Green's singing in this in this instant, without a doubt. i I have no idea. Yeah, I think you're singing, where where she pretends she was singing. Yeah. Yeah, you're singing. What's she singing?
Speaker: She's not really. She just kind of is making random noise noises. Noise, right? Okay. Sorry, I think I got distracted for a second. You're fine? I have no idea what she was singing because it was just noise. Oh, yeah, she says to Ross she was just singing. blaed up And then makes all these random noises.
Speaker: it' Nice. Okay, great. Yes. um We wander on and over to the bridal shop. Monica and Phoebe picking up the dress. ah Little fun fact, it's not the dress that Emily wears in her wedding.
Speaker: Okay. No, it is not. And I'm sorry, but that thing on her head is so ugly. it is so ugly. ah Yeah. So ugly. I thought it was an interesting choice.
Speaker: yeah Yeah, that's what I was going with, you know, it's like, that's it, to each their own. Maybe that was a style i didn't know about. it's not style. she ends up trying on the dress. She takes the ring from the the sales clerk. Yes, and then stands there, I feel like probably for hours.
Speaker: That's, you know, I would be surprised if Monica went close to closing time. You know, she's organized, she's prepared, she's picked up a dress, going to give herself a window of time and she ends up staying there till, yeah, till closing time.
Speaker: Yeah, which is awesome. Man, because it I don't know, I get that. Okay, so whenever I was in high school, um,
Speaker: And it it prom dresses. I love prom dresses. Prom dresses are so beautiful. But I had my best friend and I, if we were bored or looking for something to do, we would go try on fancy dresses.
Speaker: right Why not? think ah Why not? Because it's so fun and they're just so beautiful. So beautiful. And, um,
Speaker: Like, I get it. Just standing there being like, man, like, this is so pretty. And then you imagine like, you know, whatever. ah Yeah, I just, but it's so awkward because, and what a good friend is Phoebe. Right. Because.
Speaker: Whenever Bobby and I would go, we would both dress up and then we would tell each other how pretty we were. Right. as you should Build each other up. Yes. Right. But like, you're not just going to stand there and watch me try on dresses. Right.
Speaker: Yeah. yeah All right. ah Yeah. One time, though, ah the last time that we ever did that, we broke a zipper on the dresses. Yeah. So then we just left. Didn't do that. No, we didn't do that again. Never to happen again.
Speaker: ah the Yeah. Yeah. That was sad. Yeah. Anyway, yeah i just, I get it.
Speaker: Yeah, I could see that being a fun thing. Like, I'll just try on stuff. And it feels good, I'm sure. ah Yeah, fun thing to do. We go over to Joey's bedroom. He is snoring again. And Chandler, indeed, rolls him over.
Speaker: Joey, not one for pajamas. We find out. And this is this is the line for Chandler. He's going to take him to a sleep clinic. And yeah i a pajama store. Like such a thing exists.
Speaker: It's so good. This next scene, it's a tiny, tiny detail that de bugs me. In the girls' apartment, Monica doing the dishes in the wedding dress and then kind of fans the dress or pulls it up with the rubber gloves on.
Speaker: Which you know are wet and dirty with sinky, you know, dirty dishwater. And she's touching the dress with them. I don't think she would that. I don't think she would risk getting anything on it. There's a knock at the door. She's like, wait, wait, wait. wait And then Phoebe comes in also wearing a dress, which what good friend Phoebe is.
Speaker: see yeah I mean, we don't find out quite yet where she got it from or how she got it. But obviously she was thinking Monica was just having a great time and she wanted a bit of that action too, that wedding dress action. Yes.
Speaker: yeah Well, and it made me laugh whenever she's... No, open up the door now! Right. they open it And they both point at each other because they're both yeah playing dress-up. They're playing dress-up is what they're doing. And that... I get that so very much. That's so Childlike and awesome.
Speaker: Like I think it's fantastic. um We're in the boys' apartment. Joey is exhausted. It is 6 p.m. and he has to stay all night. um Rachel comes in Joey and I think joe well Chandler and Joey are both kind of, you know, they're there for Rachel. They think she's handling it really well. And she's like, there's nothing to handle. she thinks I think she says what she said they'll be engaged for like a year and one of them is going to realize that they've made a big yeah mistake. um Before we continue with this scene, apparently in this scene, the Etch-a-Sketch changes message in the middle of the scene. Okay. I was watching this and I swear at one point there was nothing on it. And then there was something on it. And I was like, what is even happening? But I didn't...
Speaker: I, I, mmm. Yeah, I kind of noticed that. Tell me more! Well, I kind of noticed that, so I looked it up, and apparently it says, get out, and then it's blank in one bit, and then it says, poop, and then it goes back to get out at the end of the this scene. Oh, how funny. So they must have also shot it multiple times. Whoops!
Speaker: i Well, speaking of singing, now we can compare your dancing to Chandler's wedding dancing. Again, I'm sure you would dance him off the ballroom floor because he doesn't dance at weddings because they're a great place to meet women.
Speaker: um Yeah, excellent dance moves for her from Chandler there. Yes, which makes me a smile, right? Because whenever in ah in a season or I guess in two seasons time,
Speaker: um he takes the dancing lessons. Yes. So he doesn't dance like that. oh Yeah, he wants to to do right. And get he has the slippery shoes. Yes, it's so good.
Speaker: Ross comes in, he announces he and Emma are getting married in a month. um Very quickly, indeed. They are just they're just going for it. They are sending it. They are not going to wait.
Speaker: They're just going to get married. um It's so crazy. It is kind of wild. um We go to Central Park and we start seeing unhinged Rachel really for the first time in this episode. She just goes off the rails, tells Joshua she's so happy with the two of them. But if there's one thing she would change, um it's just not crazy enough. Even though they are working, they are clicking. And Joshua, to his credit, is getting freaked out by this behavior from Rachel.
Speaker: ah Okay. Did you know that at this point, or not necessarily at this point, but they were dating in real life? So, yeah, we haven't discussed this. And then I read that they were breaking up or had just broken up something right about this time. I didn't know if that was really accurate, but yeah, how awkward and difficult would that have been?
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See, but I imagine that that happens a lot, right? Right. If you have, like, there's the big things, you know, like, that we hear from on the tabloids. But, like, if they're spending that much time together, and I don't know.
Speaker: Yeah. but But I was like, okay. See, I'm not super familiar with him. Right. Right. But I know he was a model and an actor and on all of these things. So. Yeah. I just know his name, to be honest. I don't know if I've seen him in anything else. Take Donovan. But that ah that might be it. and That might be my my length and breadth of knowledge of him is this role, to be honest.
Speaker: Oh, weird. Okay. So actually. i do know who he was on the OC. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: yeah Okay, sorry. Now I have wandered down this Tate Donovan hole, rabbit hole of stuff, and I did not recognize it. I recognize him.
Speaker: like a picture, not now, but maybe 10 years ago, as opposed to, you know, the 30th. Oh my God. Well, I think he handles this situation pretty well. Thankfully he has the the legal situation of not actually being divorced to fall back on.
Speaker: but also basically just tells Rachel that no, like this, you know, no, but thanks and gives her an awkward thumbs up. And one of my favourite lines of the episode is Gunther's response to this situation.
Speaker: um We've just given it an awfully loud and aggressive, you idiot! Yeah. for Yeah. Oh, yeah i George asked me, he's like, why is he so mad? this is Like, because he loves the Rachel and he he has to watch her, you know, when all of her I don't know, all the men and all the things that she talks about in front of Gunther. And he loves her. And and he gets so frustrated, you know. But George george was, like, floored. He's like, ah, why is he so mad? Because he loves her. He loves her.
Speaker: Yeah, he does. Poor old Gunther. We end up back in the sleep clinic. Joey keeps falling asleep in the chair. And Chandler thinks that this woman is super attractive and goes over. I quite like his his approach of going over and dropping the magazine. and Again, it just seems like a sort healthy way to go over and start talking to somebody.
Speaker: um what's it i've already for I asked you her name and I've already forgotten it. Marjorie. Marjorie. Marjorie. And Joey just can't help himself but be super loud and sort of ask her out for Chandler on his behalf. But it evidently works. Well, he was coming on to the entire room. That's right.
Speaker: the Oh, goodness. We go to the girls' apartment, Monica and Phoebe, they're practicing throwing this bouquet back and forth. um Phoebe catches her and then throws Monica's one like onto the couch across the room. Cause that, you know, wouldn't be real to throw it straight to her.
Speaker: um And then they have a moment of of almost embarrassment, don't they? Where it's like, how sad is this? But I'm with you. I think you should look past that and just have a little joy in your life. They're having fun. Why not?
Speaker: Why not? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Just do it. This is where Phoebe said, yeah, she rented her dress from a place called It's Not Too Late. And I do love that, you know, we're going to get changed in like a half hour.
Speaker: You know, they're not ready to commit to ah to changing. Yeah. Like, what's the rush? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. ah But they do end up getting changed because we go back over Central Park. Monica and Phoebe have on normal clothes, but Monica kept the garter on, i guess. Yes, and that that whole exchange at the beginning, whenever Phoebe's just like, I hate my normal clothes now. I look down and I know this isn't going to be the most special day of my life.
Speaker: Right. just It's got to be some truth to that. Like if you and, wason it was it Bobby? Who's your best friend? Yes. Bobby, you know, went and tried on all your fancy clothes and things and then had to go back to you know jeans and t-shirt the next day. It's a bit of a come down from that lofty yeahy height.
Speaker: Yeah, I can see that. Chandler comes in, he's going out with Marjorie. He managed to go out with her and it turns out really because just Joey was unconscious.
Speaker: um But I would have liked to have seen more of Marjorie. We barely get to see her. but um Yes, we see her enough to know that Chandler is cool. and um Yeah. yeah yeah it's a Joey comes in at this point with his mouth gone. It tastes good. I cannot imagine how a big lump of plastic would taste good.
Speaker: but I figured it must be like, maybe there's like flavor in it. but Maybe that's a good point. yeah Or he might like just chewing on it. I don't know. Yeah, there's something weird. It's very joey.
Speaker: Yes, but it makes me laugh whenever Chandler tells him, you know, and you look cool. Yes. And the way he smiles, the way he kind of shows it as he nods in agreement.
Speaker: yeah Yeah. Yeah. He's pretty happy with it. We end up in the girls' apartment. Rachel has called Joshua to try and convince her that she isn't crazy.
Speaker: You know, just going through a bit of a tough time. But I do feel for Rachel here because she's like, she really doesn't care about Joshua, actually. She's really more just just down in the dumps about Ross and figured they would be on again, off again one day.
Speaker: um I don't know it was really sort of touching moment getting to see these feelings of Rachel's. Ross comes in, yeah, our days at 9pm, an insane time for dinner on a Sunday evening, especially but any night.
Speaker: i am i am am im I'm either winding down or have wound all the way down at 9pm these days. Yeah. I'm not getting started at anything at 9pm. That's Well, okay. yeah but even even whenever I was in my 20s, like, no, um not eating, not sitting down to have dinner at 9 o'clock. That's not so late.
Speaker: no I don't know. That's crazy. These people don't sleep. Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, starting at 7 and going until 9 might be one thing, but... No, no, can't do nine o'clock. and But Rachel says he has to make it for three.
Speaker: Ross doesn't quite get it and then she tells him that she and Joshua are over. Ross and Rachel hug. And he should be excited to go and get Emily. because I think he's just kind of preoccupied, isn't he, with being um with just being sad for Rachel. It's clearly bothering him a lot.
Speaker: Yeah. um But Phoebe has a great idea. She knows how things are going to you know take a turn for the better. And they're all weird dresses. Where Rachel gets her dress, who knows?
Speaker: buts yeah Do you know, i wondered if it was her wedding dress from the pilot. That's a great point. It's not. It's not. Because i I went back and I looked at a picture from the pilot and Like, i I feel like it's the same style, but it is very clearly not the same dress because there's a whole lot more happening on the dress from the pilot. Right. So I wonder, though, if that wasn't what they were doing.
Speaker: trying right yeah make it look close enough that's a really good good thought i don't know why at this point i mean it's been four years i don't know why you would still have that wedding dress yeah yeah it seems like an odd thing to to hold on to um yeah This, again, one of these silly things that in the Friends universe bugs me, there's a knock at the door and they say it's going to be Chandler. When has Chandler ever knocked on the door to come in and borrow something?
Speaker: ah Whenever he wanted to swap back apartments. Just in very last episode. Open up, open up. You know what? That's a very good point.
Speaker: that He did that two episodes row. He has knocked on the door and and waited for a response. yeah Assuming Chandler, Rachel goes up and I do.
Speaker: And yeah this is the final, understandably the last time we see Joshua. ah Yeah. Yeah. ah I do love the line where she sort shuts the door and goes, yeah, well, that ought to do it.
Speaker: You know, the way she delivers that. So good. Yeah, because she's so unhinged with him. Yeah. Like she is like with the cheerleading outfit and everything else.
Speaker: And then whenever she was talking to him in the but or in the coffee shop and she said, you know, that ah she isn't going to. um Anyway, and then he's like, are you going to put on your.
Speaker: ah are you going to get the cheerleading outfit back out? yeah you know Or whatever it was that he asked her. And I was like, gosh, that's so funny because, yeah, she was about to get her wedding dress out.
Speaker: yeah hope this It's so well done I want to talk more about Rachel but the last scene Chandler's bedroom Marjorie starts talking and then full force screaming in her sleep Yes And it's come full circle and Joey has been woken up by the screaming Marjorie when he is trying to sleep um I like that it sort of starts and ends with that same storyline but just kind of in reverse
Speaker: Yes, yes, absolutely. Yeah. it's It's a good one. Yeah, Rachel, well, we'll talk we'll talk about it second. Let's see. Gunther Central Park.
Speaker: Who are you going this week? Rachel. Yeah. Okay, so as am I i love to get Rachel in this. So you tell me why you picked her. Okay, so I thought she was so funny. Like, and um I don't know.
Speaker: i she kind of She took me through a whole like a lot of different feelings. and um She's so funny, but then at the same time, like your heart is kind of broken for her because she realizes she's not oblivious to the fact that and she's having a hard time. you know and and Then that last line, whenever she's up,
Speaker: That ought to do it. Yeah. hey Okay. It's one of those lines I play in my head a lot if I do something, like I break something... Yeah, I ought to do it. you know Yeah, I mean, I think I mirror your feelings. I just think she, as an actress, Jen Franston pulls off this unhinged behavior and then, but just in a split second, she you know she gets in touch with Rachel's like deep feelings about Ross with just a few words. I think she does it brilliantly. So it has to be Rachel for me.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. And I i don't know. It's,
Speaker: Like Ross gets sad, right? Whenever they have that conversation. And I don't know that he really realizes like the only reason that him and Emily are okay is because he thought that Rachel was okay.
Speaker: Right. Yes. see what you're saying. and um But she realizes that she is not okay and that she knows why, but she also isn't going to do anything crazy yet. Right.
Speaker: Yet. Yet. The power of yet. Yes. Don't worry. She will. Just it' not right now. We got to wait until it's just a ridiculous amount of money and just completely unhinged. Yeah. Well, we have four more episodes and we'll see. if We'll see what happens there. How are we measuring it this week? In wedding dresses, of course. I assumed that was going to be the case.
Speaker: Yeah. what How many are you going for? I'm ah going for seven wedding dresses and veil. I like that. I like that. um But not an ugly crown weird thing. No. It's a veil.
Speaker: umm I'm going to go with a solid eight wedding dresses from It's Not Too Late. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. I like this one a lot. I like all the storylines in it. I think there's great acting in it. Really funny moments.
Speaker: Yeah. A solid a solid eight. Yeah. Coming this way. All right. Let's look. What do we have next week? The one with the invitation, which. Okay. Yes.
Speaker: I'm super curious because I i think I remember. i think I remember. But like on IMDb, this one's rated super low. And I don't know that I should have put that out there or not. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: But yeah, that's interesting remember a couple of highlights from. There's a couple of specific things I remember from it. Neither of those things would make it a good or bad episode. So I'll be curious to see, to see what I think about it. Because yeah, and I really don't don't recall too much about it.
Speaker: Wow. Okay. So fun fact. Jennifer Aniston and Tate Donovan dated from 1995 1998. it's long time.
Speaker: oh it's a long time Yes, because they were dating before he came on to show as Joshua. Joshua. Uh-huh. Interesting. In my head, they just they maybe met on the set, dated, and then he was you're never going be in world. That's what i was thinking, too. But no, they were dating. Then he was on the show. They broke up while he was on the show. Interesting.
Speaker: Interesting. Oh, wait. So actually, i don't know. There's two different things here. So it's saying that right before ah right after they broke up, he guest starred as Joshua. And then it says that they broke up while he was guest starring in that role.
Speaker: Right. Interesting. So maybe they were together all the time and then they were like, ooh, gross. That's right. We don't want any part of that. and Well, yeah, the one with the invitation next week.
Speaker: I'm looking forward to Because, again, revisiting one, I'm not sure, other than the main story, what it's all about. um Fantastic. Well, thank you, Wilson, as always. We've recorded two days in a row, which is unusual and super awesome.
Speaker: Yeah. And I hope you have the best week ever. You too. You too. And as always, everybody out there, thank you so much for listening to the Purple Door podcast.
