Speaker
Well, hello and welcome to the Purple Door Podcast, a Friends Rewatch Pod. I am one of your hosts, Alistair, alongside my wonderful jet-setting friend, Deanne. Deanne, how are you today?
00:00:16
Speaker
I'm awesome, Al. I'm excited to be here recording, talking with my friend about friends. Exactly. So we recorded a couple of weeks ahead because Deanne went to Italy with her dad for a wonderful, wonderful trip, but we're thrilled she's back with amazing memories and ah back so we can discuss more friends because we've we've missed recording the podcast.
00:00:39
Speaker
But to how what how was Italy? Italy was amazing. Italy was incredible. It was amazing being there with my dad. I learned a lot about my dad.
00:00:50
Speaker
He was state. I knew he was stationed in Italy whenever he was in the Marine Corps. Right. But, um, but he's, I learned a lot more about those two and a half years he spent there, um while we were on that trip and, um,
00:01:07
Speaker
You know, we went some of the places like we went to the Vatican and and all that. And that was awesome. And then Roman and we went to Rome and Florence and get Venice and the history the history.
00:01:23
Speaker
the I have seen so many pictures of this in my entire life. And here I am standing. Right. And it's been here thousands of years.
00:01:35
Speaker
at It's mind boggling and humbling and just and crazy. It's crazy. and it so it was such an amazing experience that I am just so very thankful for.
00:01:49
Speaker
Well, I am so glad. And you didn't bump into Paolo. I didn't. And, you know, i shared I was sharing with Al ah before we started recording that they have the same trend over there where they've got the names on the Coke cans.
00:02:05
Speaker
And so my dad and I were on the hunt for a Paolo Coke can. And we found Pasqual and a ah lots of charas and...
00:02:18
Speaker
But no Paulos. and No Paulos. So disappointing to me. disappointing. Yes. but Well, we'll make it a mission, though. We're going to have to try and find one somewhere, somehow. Yes.
00:02:30
Speaker
Yes. Well, like i said, we are back. We're excited to record. And this week is... You know, we should have double-checked with each other. I'm assuming we're both on the same page. The one where Ross finds out.
00:02:42
Speaker
Yes. Excellent. All right, because like said, it's actually been a couple of weeks since we've spoken. Yes. The one where Ross finds out. But of course, as usual, before we dig into that, I have missed playing

00:03:39
Speaker
And I remember thinking... And then a weird blue was in that outfit. And I've got thoughts about this. It was terrible. and And we'll discuss this in the review. And he went to a party in that.
00:03:52
Speaker
But anyway, but the point is... um mean I'm going to go with with five. There were four, and every single one of those stupid buttons was buttoned up and to create the most hideous Chandler outfit to date.
00:04:06
Speaker
it It was, and I have thoughts on it. We'll get into as I assume you do in the review. do. All right. But speaking of Chandler, what is the consequence for Chandler doing, and I quote, butt clenches at his desk?

Speaker
They won't bring him his mail anymore. They will not. They will not bring him his mail. Okay. What taxi, whenever ah Monica and Chandler are are running the first time, what is the taxi number of the taxi that Chandler pulls on the that's That's a great, incredibly difficult, wonderful question.
00:04:47
Speaker
can it Is it just a number or numbers or is there letters in there? There's letters and numbers, but it's really big on the side of the taxi cab. I'm going to go with X46.
00:05:00
Speaker
Oh, that's not... Completely wrong. Yeah. yeah ah seven k seven two 7K. I wish I had noticed. I told you some of these questions are just going to be stupid because I was just so excited to be doing it So, sorry.

Speaker
I am all for it. I love it. All right. When Monica enters Central Park to play racquetball with Chandler, how much time does she say they have until they leave?
00:05:30
Speaker
Wow. She says racquetball in and then gives it an amount of time. Is it 10? 10? It's 20 minutes. Oh, okay. 20 minutes.
00:05:41
Speaker
The way she was, who knows? Yeah. Yeah. She walks in and she's, yeah, she sure did. All right. What is the full name of Monica's old cat?
00:05:54
Speaker

00:06:08
Speaker
Michael. It is Michael. Yes. Michael. It's a great name for a cat. It is. It is Michael the cat. Do you know what? My best friend, her husband has a cat.

All right. So in the scene where, ah you know, Julie and Ross come in and then Monica, I mean, Rachel's walking around and she's got a tray that has two mugs and a towel on it.
00:06:45
Speaker
Yes. And then when she gets all upset. She goes to leave. And one of those mugs has disappeared.
00:06:54
Speaker
What color the mug that disappeared or the one that's still on the tray? I'm going with a green mug. No. No. I thought if I said it with confidence, it would somehow manifest. I mean, one was blue and one was yellow. If you put them together, it's green. There you go. There you go.
00:07:14
Speaker
I mean, I feel like... Half a fictitious point. should get Yes. yeah Something for that. All right. what is the re what What reason did Michael give for having fun on the date?
00:07:29
Speaker
Oh, because he was playing the movie Diner in his head. He was. do you that's most That's the full answer, but do you remember for how long he said he was playing it? The last hour. Yeah, I've got an hour and a half, but you get it. You get it. Diner.
00:07:43
Speaker
Okay, yeah. i I wouldn't die on that and say it was an hour. But yeah in my head, that's what he said. is For the last hour, I've been playing Diner in my head. Right.
00:07:55
Speaker
Wow. Poor guy. I was going to look up that movie, and I didn't. I looked up for a second and there didn't seem to be any big connection. Oh. But, yeah. Okay, well. um So what happens with Monica and Chandler outside of the coffee house?
Ross and Rachel's Awkward Date
00:08:14
Speaker
Like ah Phoebe and Joey are inside and they're taught and then in the background, in the in the window. Is it when they start kind of gently shoving each other that she shoves him over?
00:08:26
Speaker
then she runs away and he kind of walks after her with a yeah look on his face. Because he had stopped running. And so she's like, and I had figured that she's like telling him to come on.
00:08:37
Speaker
And then she like slaps and then he pushes her back and then they start that, that part cracked me up and he gets up and he's fucking like a scary, a guy in a scary movie. Right, like he is he is he is unhinged. He is done. he But it's so funny.
00:08:52
Speaker
Yes. All right. Well, speaking of the date that Rachel and Michael went on, did you happen to catch the name of the restaurant? it was that We saw the outside of it before we went in, and we saw the name one time, and that was it.
00:09:10
Speaker
No, not at all. It jumped out as me at me because... The name was The Saloon, there's nothing Western about this restaurant at all.
00:09:23
Speaker
But The Saloon it Interesting. Yeah. Huh. Okay. All right, so what you got? What does Rachel think that Julie and Ross should get instead of a cat?
00:09:41
Speaker
Some kind of bug, right? and she says it and the she's like, and it's called and it's called. And then he says the same thing. Yeah. um in my head, I've got stick insects. I'm sure that's not right. i don't remember. That would be caught do you know Do you know that I had a friend who had those in his kindergarten classroom?
00:10:04
Speaker
No. Yeah. Good old Scott. So good old Scott. Scott was yeah is amazing. He's amazing. He's moved. Yes. Yes. He's up there in Seattle now.

That's right. Yeah. All right. so So it's a fruit fly. Oh, that's a fruit fly. Sorry. no no, no. I wouldn't have got it. Yeah. No, no. would not have got it.
00:10:27
Speaker
oh Those walking sticks though. They're really cool. Yeah. They're really cool bugs. Yeah. They're cool little things to, yeah. Yeah. But like you can, you can keep those as a pet.
00:10:39
Speaker
Yeah. And they just walk around. I remember seeing those in some classrooms when I was little, I think. Oh, wow. see I had never seen that before, Scott. And I was like, that's so weird. Yeah. the the Just odd things. Like how did they develop?
00:10:54
Speaker
Yeah. like Yeah. um Okay, let's see we have got let's see. What is Joey watching on the television when Phoebe comes in? I have that on a question.
00:11:07
Speaker
It is a rabbi playing an electric guitar. I really
Phoebe's Dating Life with Joey
00:11:11
Speaker
wanted to deep dive this to find out what in the world that is. What in the world?
00:11:19
Speaker
I like it. All right. How many locks are on the central park door?
00:11:29
Speaker
I'm gonna go with three. oh Five. Five, wow, no, I could have stretched that to four, but would never have gone five. Yeah, if you want, as you can see, or she counts, or she locks the five locks, and then she hits the door.
00:11:47
Speaker
And then she unlocks four locks, and then she can't get it open. Can't get the last one. All right, good to know. I will i will always remember there's five locks on the door. five locks they are not letting people in but what's weird to me is that they don't have like the cage or anything to go over it but it wouldn't make for good tv but it wouldn't but yet break the glass and you're you're in right all right my last question for you how long has ross been hiding his feelings about rachel
00:12:22
Speaker
Since ninth grade. Since ninth grade, indeed. Did you see that? No pause. No pause. yeah It was like you knew it was coming. You knew it was right. There was no doubt in your mind.
00:12:34
Speaker
Why won't Chandler run on a Sunday? Because it's God's day. That's one of my favorite lines. It's okay brilliant.
00:12:45
Speaker
i've I've still got bunch. Bring them. Just buckle up. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready. Where does Rachel throw the phone whenever she realizes what Ross is about to hear? And she jumps on him, she grabs the phone, and she throws it somewhere. Where does she throw it? got See, I remember her doing that, and and I also remember thinking, I should pay attention.
00:13:08
Speaker
I think it's the sink. It is the sink. It is the sink. Yeah, it is. Good Good. All right. Okay, Ross is not the kind of guy that would have two cats.
00:13:21
Speaker
Who is?
00:13:24
Speaker
Wow.
00:13:28
Speaker
I heard that answer. What? let's say to i didn't I thought one of your children shouted an answer in the background. I might be wrong. George is the only one that's home and I've got my headphones on so I can't hear anything. He just yelled out a character's name is quite funny. Okay, what did he say? He said Rachel.
00:13:48
Speaker
Rachel would never have two No. i'm I don't remember this, and I do feel we you have some extra scenes which we'll discuss, but I'm going to go with Monica. No, she wouldn't have a cat. She wouldn't have a cat, actually. It's all.
00:14:02
Speaker
I don't know. I
Monica's Workout Plan for Chandler
00:14:05
Speaker
don't know. Joey. Joey would have two cats. I wonder if you don't have that scene. this ah So I did look up IMDb afterwards, which I try not to do, and apparently there's a couple of scenes.
00:14:19
Speaker
there Is it the one, okay, so where they're in the cat place looking at the different cats? That we do not have, but that's one of the ones thought.
00:14:29
Speaker
That's where that line takes place. looking at the and So she narrows it down to two cats and she's like, just pick one. And he's like, a I don't know.
00:14:40
Speaker
and then she's like, you want to just get them both? And he's like, two cats. I can't have two cats. I'm not the kind of guy to have two cats. Joey's the kind of guy to have two cats.
00:14:51
Speaker
But he's not. Right. One odd thing. But that's neither here nor there. but Right. Because he's talking about Rachel and Julie. Right.
00:15:01
Speaker
Because it's right after him and Rachel have that conversation. Right. I'll need to find that one. What have you got for me? There you go. If you don't have that scene, you don't have this next question either, which is what kind of cats does Ross ask to see?
00:15:16
Speaker
He wants really ones or really sick ones. Okay. Yeah. Nope. Don't have it. And then I have what's Joey watching on TV. And then what time does Monica come over to run in the last scene?
00:15:27
Speaker
6
00:15:33
Speaker
six thirty six all close close All right. That was a mighty good round of bamboozled. Yeah, it was. We haven't missed a beat, I don't think. a great job.
00:15:47
Speaker
Great job. We did. Yeah, I'm excited. There are, I believe, a couple of scenes you have that I don't. So, of course. I'm excited. Yeah. Because I told you my... um
00:16:01
Speaker
Sorry, I got distracted. You're fine. My um website that had all the scenes, you know, like which ones. So I knew before.
00:16:12
Speaker
it it only It stopped at season one, at the end of season one. And then it's like, well, okay. Now what? Where anybody else has gone through and done it.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yeah, somebody needs to spend some time doing that. Yeah, and I... i've i a I agree. Yeah, somebody. If there's a listener out there who has the time and the dedication, that would be fantastic. Or maybe has already done it and it just doesn't show up whenever I Google it.
00:16:43
Speaker
Help us out. Yeah, like I'm convinced somebody out there has tracked all the set design changes, especially of the girls' and the boys' apartments, because there's stuff constantly changing.
Ross Discovers Rachel's Feelings
00:16:54
Speaker
yeah And I feel somebody has probably tracked this from episode to episode, which I would find fascinating. ah But speaking of the girl's apartment, that's where we're going to kick this episode off.
00:17:06
Speaker
um With Chandler. In the terrible Chandler outfit. That's right. Oh my God. Chandler. Yeah, he comes in and he basically, right, he feels he's undateable. He'd been to a party. He's having some confidence issues.
00:17:19
Speaker
um And he wore that to a party. He should have some confidence issues. But the the issue is not that he's put on weight, right? I don't think he's put on weight and this is just a hideous cardigan, sweater, whatever we're calling it to make him look bad.
00:17:36
Speaker
He's not put on any weight. I don't think. Okay. So actually, whenever I was watching this, I was like, I felt like Al and I could have like a total side conversation about people putting on weight and if you notice and all of those things.
00:17:53
Speaker
Because like, I, you don't ask me how old somebody is because I don't know. I don't know. don't know. Are they 19 are they 30? I, and then me and then ah Like when people will say things, it's like, oh, yeah, you put on a lot of weight or they put on. ah I don't know.
00:18:15
Speaker
And so it was crazy to me that Phoebe said that to him. Because like, I don't notice that he's put on weight, but maybe he had put on a little. i don't have any idea.
00:18:30
Speaker
but yeah But she also says things sometimes just to get people going. Like those last couple of episodes before this one, she was kind of instigating some things just because she like whenever she did that whole thing with Ross.
00:18:48
Speaker
about And she's like, I can't believe that I got you to abandon your beliefs or whatever. And then she's like, that was fun. What do y'all want to eat? And, you know, and so i don't know if that was her being...
00:19:03
Speaker
silly entertaining herself or it was because but then whenever she's they're talking about it and then they're like counting down the amount of weight he's losing you know you've got eight more pounds you've got three more pounds you've got one more pound like Would we even notice if he put on 10 pounds?
00:19:28
Speaker
I don't think don't think I would. And there's times later on that unfortunately due to his substance abuse problems, he puts on quite a bit weight and it's never brought up in the show. Maybe because it's because he really had put it on in real life.
00:19:41
Speaker
They didn't bring it up. But i just thought he's still a svelte fella. Like there's, there's, he's not fat at all. Like, I just thought that was an odd setup for the game. Yes.
00:19:55
Speaker
ah Yeah. Just make fun of that cardigan. But it made a great beeline. So. It did. It is one of my favorite beelines, you know, to this point. What do you call it? I call it a B plot. Yeah. Okay.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah. I had never heard that until we started doing this. So I might be trying to rename it to B. I might be just making things up. In my head, it's an A plot, a B plot, a C plot, but I don't really know where that from. don't feel like you're making it up because that seems very logical to me. It it kind of makes sense.
00:20:29
Speaker
Yeah, but Monica... Like a meanty B. That's meanty B. I don't know where that came from, but it's a thing. It is. These things just take off. um That's right. Yeah, Monica, she offers to help him and sets up this B plot, which is fantastic.
00:20:45
Speaker
Phoebe doubles down on the gag with the hug. Yes. She can't get her arms around. Which makes me think that maybe she was just screwing with him the whole time. Right. Yeah. That's funny.
00:20:58
Speaker
I think that, yeah, that's not a good idea. That's a brave, brave lady to, to go down that road. Um, she lived on the streets. You don't mess with her. She did.
00:21:09
Speaker
She did. She just shoots from the hip. It's no problem at all for Phoebe. Um, But I do love that we kind of go straight into this story, right?
00:21:19
Speaker
I think we go straight into Monica and Chandler going for a run. This is where he has a tiny stretchy pants. Right. It's an interesting choice. I think that's definitely one of those things that a woman can wear and nobody would bat an eyelid.
00:21:34
Speaker
And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I just, but I think if a guy was running around in those, you would notice. I might be wrong. I don't know. I don't know. i Maybe. i don't know. Because I know that like if you go to a 5K or you're people running and things, you see them in there.
00:21:55
Speaker
ah Right. like And I always think, that's weird. But I don't know. don't know. Yeah. i'm know I've done a couple of 5Ks in my day, but it's been it's been a few years yeah since I've been in any kind of racing situation.
00:22:13
Speaker
But did you wear tiny stretchy pants? I absolutely did not. No. Oh. I would have been the only person. no No. The back here. Yes. No. No.
00:22:25
Speaker
that would be That would be horrifying. And people would just a abandon in the race. I think if they saw me in that. Yeah. Wouldn't be good.
00:22:36
Speaker
But what's interesting, did you notice what Monica was wearing?
00:22:43
Speaker
I did not. No. See, and that's where I just, I have an issue because she was wearing leggings, which are skin tight, stretchy pants.
00:22:55
Speaker
Right. And a sports bra. Okay. She's got a jacket on ah but it's just a sports bra. Like, so her whole midriff is showing, like, there's nothing.
00:23:09
Speaker
But then he's wearing a sweatshirt and the baggy, or in the tight pants, and she says, know. It's interesting. i wonder if it's one of those things that has changed in 30 years, or if there's still just a bit of a gender divide when it comes to like athletic wear, you know, what I think so. And I think it also has to do with your body type.
00:23:33
Speaker
Probably that too, because it would look, you know, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I think be it's, I'm going to get to think about that. Um,
00:23:44
Speaker
But yeah, they go running, he hops in the taxi, right? Is this this is where you saw the taxi? Yeah, because they' they go out on the on this on the street and they're running on the street and he's got all the sweat.
00:23:55
Speaker
And then she's running ahead and then like but he pulls open the door and jumps in and then off she goes er off he goes. And she's like, yeah. And then they're in the girl's apartment doing the sit-ups. That's right. Yeah.
00:24:12
Speaker
I do quite like the gag where basically she offers to flash him and he does two and a half. Two and a half. Just one. See,
Review and Preview of the Next Episode
00:24:22
Speaker
but I like their relationship so much. Okay, so I've got a note about that. And this seems as good a time to any as good a time as any to bring it up.
00:24:33
Speaker
um So I don't know how accurate this is, but it sounds good. So I want to read it to you. um So again, I stole this from IMDb.
00:24:45
Speaker
It said, writer Scott Silveri, I guess is how you pronounce it, had confirmed it was during the filming of this very episode that the chemistry between Monica and Chandler was first properly recognized amongst the writers and the producers.
00:24:59
Speaker
The episode features the storyline featuring the two where Monica basically acts as Chandler's personal trainer. it just took It took just over a season to notice that this was only the second subplot were the two cat that the two characters had together. After season one's the one with the birth.
00:25:16
Speaker
Yes. So Veri said they were they were special together and it was agreed that if they ever wanted to pair up another couple in the group, Chandler and Monica would be the way to go. There was talk of exploring a romantic pairing as early season three, but the writers decided that it would be overshadowed by the Ross and Rachel drama of that season.
00:25:36
Speaker
So they waited till the end of season four. But this was the episode that made them realize, aha. Okay. Like the one with the birth wasn't just a fluke.
00:25:47
Speaker
Because there's lots of little, like all through season one, ah lots of little parts like where they're sitting on the couch together. and Yeah. And you know and you notice.
00:25:58
Speaker
And then, yeah. Because as you're reading that, I'm going, well, there's the part where like there she's on the phone with her mom and he's right there. Yeah. and there's ah There's a ah closeness from the beginning between those two.
00:26:13
Speaker
Yes, and it's so good. Which I like. So it's interesting that you brought that up. um Because, yeah, I think especially with hindsight, you can see it all the way back into the first season.
00:26:24
Speaker
ah um the two of them The two of them have a ah closeness that I just love. um And they might be close, but she is, she's causing him some pain. He's over there in Central Park.
00:26:38
Speaker
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. As he's reaching. It's so funny. um Yeah. if Poor Phoebe. She's having dateal dating trouble with Scott, who is a remaining chaste, I guess. And just, you know, she's had she's got some issues with that.
00:26:56
Speaker
um Yes. Which we'll kind of get into. I do... I love the conversation between Phoebe and Joey later at the end of this storyline. Yes. And then she's all like, Oh, Oh, because he's my God.
00:27:11
Speaker
That's right. think It's just, again, another great line. Um, but yeah, she's kind of her woes about that. But Monica enters, she's ready to play racquetball.
00:27:23
Speaker
Um, Racquetball is pretty big, I think, on this side of the Atlantic, although I've never played. It's not on the other side of Atlantic at all. It's a bit like squash, which is played more there, but okay the racket's different.
00:27:37
Speaker
It's still the same kind of premise of four walls and smacking the ball about and somehow not getting in the way of your opponent. like Yeah, there's absolutely nothing about it that's interesting to me. But every college that we've gone to um on our college world tour around, you know, Texas.
00:27:59
Speaker
Right. um Although now I want Fred to look at Florence. but Right. oh But they all have racquetball courts.
00:28:10
Speaker
and And Joseph, every time, oh, yeah, racquetball is so fun. and I'm like,
00:28:18
Speaker
i don't yeah I don't know. I played squash as a teenager a little bit. And it was like super high intensity. Like if you want to work out, it's the way forward. But I just, I don't know anything about it. I don't know the rules. i don't know how you win.
00:28:31
Speaker
um Yeah. I just, I see it a lot in sitcoms and things. Racquetball, it comes up in Friends later. There's a lot of potential for her getting hurt. and Yes. In comedic moments, right? Right.
00:28:44
Speaker
Absolutely. Absolutely. of Yeah, we see it at least one more at least now a couple more times, I think, that can think of. Wreck-It-Ball gets mentioned.
00:28:55
Speaker
um But when she comes in and all of that with Chandler, Ross and Julie are kissing outside, Oh, God. Yeah. My favorite line in this scene is whenever Joey says, you know, are there they tell her, don't look.
00:29:12
Speaker
And then it's like, oh, sorry. She's like, it's fine. i have a date tonight. They're like, but what about, ra or, you know, what I don't remember what the question is. She's like, you know oh, that whole insane jealousy thing. Yes. As much fun as that was. But that made me laugh.
00:29:29
Speaker
a lot. I was like, that's hilarious. Right. much fun as that was, I've decided to was it move on or let it go or something. It was very, very funny. Yeah, that was good line.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yeah, and she's going out with somebody. Does Monica set them up? Is that right? Yeah, Monica's been busy in her unemployment life. She is recreating Chandler. She's setting Rachel up. She's setting Michael up.
00:29:54
Speaker
She's busy. Yeah, she's got projects on her mind, substituting in for work. um And I guess, yeah, we go straight into one of these projects in the saloon, the the restaurant where Rachel's on the on the date with this newly divorced, what did we say, Michael, right? That was his name? Yes, Michael. And, man, Rachel is a horrible date.
00:30:18
Speaker
um Yeah, she is. Yeah, she is. She is. It's all about Ross and Julie and the cat. and how long cats live and poor old Michael, his first date since his divorce and this is what he walks into.
00:30:32
Speaker
Right. Yeah. I feel for Michael at this point. um Oh yeah. God. Could you imagine? i and good for him for staying.
00:30:44
Speaker
That was my thing. Whenever she starts getting sloppy, like. Yeah. that's terrible He just stuck it through where I think most guys might have just walked out. Yeah. Like, you just... Go to the restroom and then never come back. And never come back. I mean, and I i mean, vice versa. I think a female would be the exact same, you know, like... Yeah.
00:31:06
Speaker
Oh, and as they should. Like, you don't... Yeah. I mean, giving up your time. And it looks like... mean, I'm assuming he's paying for the dinner too. And he's the one who asked for the check. Yeah. so he's paying...
00:31:17
Speaker
how terrible and you will never get that evening back yeah and she's drunk a lot you know yeah it's not not going to have been a cheap evening i don't think no so poor old michael we hope he found happiness happiness somewhere in the friends universe he's uh yeah he deserved better um let's see we go from there where are we and yeah over to central park um where Phoebe kind of says that she's not sexy enough. Maybe that's the problem.
00:31:48
Speaker
And Joey offers a crude, his first thoughts. Like it's kind of, it's weirdly sweet. It is. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. And she even acknowledges the fact that that made me feel good, but it really shouldn't.
00:32:04
Speaker
But it did. That's right. Once you say like, of course, I'm offended or something. it's Right. Yeah. Of course. That's terrible. And how dare you? But thank you. Yeah, again, there's something about their relationship which, no, there's no spoilers. It doesn't blossom into anything romantic, but I love their friendship.
00:32:23
Speaker
and um And she knows that that's kind of Joey's love language, I think. Like, he's not objectifying her. Whereas most guys, if they said that, the woman would rightly say, how dare you?
00:32:38
Speaker
You know, but not in this situation. i think it's I think it's oddly touching. even though he's being incredibly superficial. It somehow runs deeper.
00:32:48
Speaker
I love it. yeah Yeah. And this is where you see Chandler and Monica outside. um it home Again, it's almost like sibling playing, and then Chandler, he's over. He's out for the count.
00:33:02
Speaker
yes Yeah, but then and she knows, and she takes off. Yeah. Have you ever been into running? Has there ever been something? No. Yeah. no i was on drill team whenever i was in high school and then dance whenever i was younger and like they would talk about cardio and like the importance of that and no no running sucks yeah and i say that with all the respect in my heart for people who are runners but absolutely i think i never learned how to breathe right like yeah i'm not built it that to run
00:33:43
Speaker
Like people will say to like, zalli I go hiking a lot and people, oh, it's amazing. You hiked 20 miles today. you You know, well and to me, that's really not difficult.
00:33:54
Speaker
Generally speaking, I'm more blown away by people who can run for one minute without stopping. Like I can't do that. Like that, that to me, how do you do that? How did you build up that strength to do that?
00:34:06
Speaker
ah Let alone people who go and run a 5K for fun. um Like, to me, that blows my mind. Like, that's so impressive to me.
00:34:16
Speaker
So maybe we're just kind of built differently. But that, yeah, people who can run and not stop. Mm-hmm. Very impressive in my eyes. So if we have any runners out there, good on you. good on of you. Now, i I would like to share just a piece of trivia that will probably only be interesting to me and you.
00:34:40
Speaker
Okay. But yes I do know for a fact that out of me and your wife, Kate, yes one of us is a much quicker runner.
00:34:55
Speaker
And if you want, I'm not going to tell you which one. Yeah. You'll just need to ask Kate and say, Kate, I was just wondering in a foot race, if you were chasing perhaps after a child outside of a school, who would win? or you? were In such a scenario. Okay. I will ask. She has. And ask and see what she says.
00:35:17
Speaker
She has more 5k medals than I can lift with one arm hanging in the garage. Um, But I don't know how... A, I don't remember her so her speed in general.
00:35:30
Speaker
And B, I don't know if her speed is fast or slow. I don't know. i'm just i get I was just so impressed at the amount she could run. I will ask her that. Now, and I i mean, and and this is... I mean, and we're prefacing it all with this was an emergency situation.
00:35:46
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And...
00:35:51
Speaker
and it um Yeah. Yeah, I mean... Again, 5K, I'm walking. Oh, yeah. Just ask Kate, in that hypothetical scenario, who do you think would win in a foot race?
00:36:05
Speaker
I will make sure I ask her as soon as we're done with this. Okay. Definitely. But one thing could be, I'm assuming that in this emergency situation, there was no shoving of each other and then one of you chasing the other one around the playground.
00:36:19
Speaker
No, no, it was on the street, like down the street. Down the street. Down the street from the school. Well, I'm glad it didn't descend to the Monica and Chandler behavior. No, absolutely not.
00:36:35
Speaker
Well, we go back over to the saloon and Rachel, she is just drunk at this point. There she is. She is hammered. oh still talking about this cat and is rude and obnoxious to the guy with the phone.
00:36:51
Speaker
this is the whole fruit flies part. Yes. Why would you want to get a cat? She's getting like an insect, like a fruit fly that only lives for a day.
00:37:02
Speaker
Kate just walked by. If she comes in, I'm going to ask her about this. ah you Do it. We'll do it live on air as she comes in. There you go. But the whole fruit fly thing. We'll ask her your questions.
00:37:14
Speaker
So I have to ask you a question. Kate has entered the room. o Who would win in a foot race between you and Deanne? Because apparently there is an answer involved. Hang on. oh You have to tell her.
00:37:27
Speaker
In a hypothetical situation. In a hypothetical situation. students that Where you are chasing a student who has left the school. Who would win in a foot race? new york case lunchn fox Who would win in a foot race?
00:37:40
Speaker
ah Kate needs to know the rules. Does this kid have his lunchbox? I don't remember, but he's a large child. She doesn't remember, but he's a large, fast child.
00:37:52
Speaker
Oh, girl, he had his lunchbox. He had his lunchbox. Did he really? In this hypothetical situation. He would have run to his house and run back to me before I made it to the edge of the curb.
00:38:04
Speaker
Right. he he He had some wheels on him, apparently. He was fast. Is Willison faster than you? Oh, my gosh, yes. Oh, my gosh, yes. Wollison.
00:38:16
Speaker
Wollison for the win. Speedy Wollison. We didn't know. i yeah But only in an emergency situation. And a 5K, Kate is winning all day long.
00:38:26
Speaker
So she says that in an emergency situation, she'll win, but in an actual 5K, you're winning all day long. Yeah. don't know. But yes, he did have lunchbox. He did have his lunchbox. Yeah, he did. This story rings a very vague day. God, Dave. Yes.
00:38:43
Speaker
All right. Good time. Okay. Yes, she says, Wilson for the win. That's it All right. I'm glad we have rectified that. That is fantastic. ah was this When I say that does this story or this story rings a bell, is there a pun in there?
00:39:01
Speaker
Yeah, for sure is. I thought there might be a vaguely is coming back to me. Oh, yeah. now now Speaking of things coming back to you, cast your mind back about 20 years.
00:39:13
Speaker
Do you remember the first cell phone you got? Yeah. Yeah. I was just thinking, you know, it was a couple more than 20 years, couple more than 20 years because I got one whenever I went to college.
00:39:27
Speaker
Ah. And it was only to be used emergencies. Right. But for me, an emergency could be calling my roommate and saying, hey, girl, where are you?
00:39:41
Speaker
Let me down at the whatever. um and it was, you know, 25 cents a minute until after seven and all that. Yeah.
00:39:53
Speaker
Yeah. But it was one of those like Nokia's that had the game Snake on it. And it it wasn't a flip phone. It wasn't cool like that. and That's funny. that's I vaguely remember getting my first one and the first thing I did was place a game of Snake.
00:40:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I could beat the game Snake. kid beat That's impressive. I don't remember how well ah how far I got, I don't think I ever came close to beating the game. Yep. yep Because you would end up making it until ah into a little spiral until it...
00:40:25
Speaker
ended up that's i impressive so but that is awesome yes yes yeah that's yeah it's it's some nice old tech and i do enjoy it when we see that stuff and this one had the yes with that with antenna and then yeah talk part and how rude how would you okay even now like would you just pass your cell phone over for somebody to use So it's funny. I was thinking about this and I think he was, I'm assuming this guy was either with his girlfriend or wife or at least a date.
00:41:04
Speaker
And she kind of nods and begrudgingly kind of go, all right, just let her have it. So I think he did the right thing because, you know, for the rest of the evening, he did what his wife, girlfriend, but significant other. His lady.
00:41:17
Speaker
Yeah, the lady there. You know what she suggested. If she had suggested that he do it and then he said, absolutely not, that could have caused an issue, but I don't think I would, especially, i mean, they're more valuable nowadays too.
00:41:30
Speaker
yeah You know, just that that's a lot to lose. um No, I don't think I would. I'd have to say, because again, um not a 5K runner.
00:41:42
Speaker
If someone decides to run off with my phone, they're probably getting away with it. You know, there's a good chance I'm not catching them. Yeah. um So... I don't know. Yeah, i think I think I would have to say no.
00:41:58
Speaker
But she borrows his phone, leaves Ross this drunken message, and then kind of... Does she throw it in the ice bucket for the champagne? and No. What did she throw it in? That wasn't the She had emptied out the wine bottle.
00:42:14
Speaker
Oh, that's right. That's right. The empty wine bottle upside down into the ice. she is Yeah, she's so drunk. Yeah, she was, I don't think we see her that hammer too much.
00:42:25
Speaker
No. But yeah, she, should the next day she doesn't remember too much. um ah go see she Everything was just a vague memory.
00:42:36
Speaker
feel like I talked to you last night. Right. And maybe I had a dream. What a terrible feeling. Yeah, that instant as it's slowly coming back to her.
00:42:48
Speaker
Yeah. But let's see, between that, now I wanted to ask you a question. Right before we get to that scene, Monica shows up at Chandler's and he yeah he refuses to exercise because it's God's day.
00:43:00
Speaker
Now, he leaves the apartment. I'm assuming we then bounce over to see Ross and Rachel and he's not there. So where does he go in his his his dressing gown, his robe, his, you know,
00:43:15
Speaker
who knows who knows because he just leaves and he doesn't yeah that's true yeah yeah well i mean because he kind of turns ah like i assumed he was going to the stairs yeah so he does give me i think he's when he's wearing that kate had not heard the term dressing gown before she now got together The dressing gown, rogue. Okay, so let me tell you this.
00:43:42
Speaker
The only time, the only time i have ever heard dressing gown is in, oh, God. um
00:43:54
Speaker
That's Christmas Carol. chris is carol Because Ebenezer Scrooge is in his dressing gown throughout the whole thing.
00:44:05
Speaker
And so ah that, for whatever reason, stuck in my head. Like that is what a dressing gown is. That's it. So it's cracking me up that you're saying dressing gown and it's a robe.
00:44:16
Speaker
and I love it. It is all the same, but it kind of. yeah also it to me is That's what I if I hear dressing gown is Ebenezer Scrooge flying around with the ghost of Christmas past.
00:44:31
Speaker
I love that. Yeah. kate Kate said that she had just simply not heard the term. I'll bring that up though. But he gives me Mr. Heckles vibes. Oh, yeah. I think that's because that's all we ever really saw Heckles in, I think. Uh-huh.
00:44:45
Speaker
Uh-huh. And it just gives you that sort of flashback. And if it weren't for Monica, Chandler may have turned into heckles. He might well have. um She stopped him becoming heckles, which is a beautiful thing in itself.
00:45:00
Speaker
um But yeah, right now, Yeah, it's God's day, which is just, I don't know. I'm the energy train you're on board.
00:45:13
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, she is. She's embracing the unemployed life, I guess, and she is focused on this. um Good for her. um She is. She is on it.
00:45:25
Speaker
But we do get a guess the most important of the biggest scene in this episode. Rachel is hung over and reach and Ross then comes over for the cat toys. Don't know why Monica has the cat toys.
00:45:36
Speaker
Why would she have brought them with her to that apartment um from her parents' Where would she have put them? Yeah. You know, seems an odd thing to have brought if you don't have a cat.
00:45:47
Speaker
And we find out later on when Rachel has a cat for an episode, she doesn't seem too keen on having one. um But like you said, Rachel kind of, it's slowly piecing back together. Was this a dream? Did we have a conversation?
00:46:04
Speaker
And to me, the way she jumps on his back is one of the most iconic scenes. ah yeah Certainly this season. maybe the entire show. Like, is this is where ah Ross finds out that Rachel has had feelings for him. And he also finds out that she knows he had feelings for her.
00:46:25
Speaker
a if that all makes sense. I feel like Joey in that famous scene that they don't know that we know that they know we know. Yes. You know, it's like that. But as you said, she she grabs the phone, right? Throws it in the sink.
00:46:39
Speaker
Yeah. um Because she like jumped on him. Yeah. It's, a I assume that Monica will have brought bought a new phone after that. I don't think she could get a phone clean enough from dirty dishwater for her.
00:46:54
Speaker
Maybe she would never have even known. That's true. Maybe they dried off and it still worked. I'm just saying, living with roommates and things, if there's something like that, you just don't say anything. Yeah. like Silence is golden.
00:47:07
Speaker
Say nothing. Yeah. Yeah. Just let it go. But if any of my old roommates are listening, sorry. That didn't happen. Hypothetical. It wasn't you. Right. or Or my current roommates. That's right.
00:47:23
Speaker
No, it didn't ever, ever happen. it I do think Ross and David Schwimmer act pretty well in this scene. Oh, yeah. and i And then there he leaves.
00:47:35
Speaker
and its i mean I can't do this right now. I've got to go get a cat. That's right. Cat. Cat. but And then he just stands there and then he leaves. And it's like so dramatic and ridiculous and awkward and perfect.
00:47:52
Speaker
It's exactly what it needed to be. And is this perhaps where they then go to the cat rescue? um No. like that Then it's the rabbi on the electric guitar and all of that.
00:48:09
Speaker
I'm going to have to Google because that can't just be like a random thing they put on. um Somebody must have looked into this. Now, Joey is watching that because he has lost the remote control.
00:48:22
Speaker
is this Is it just Kate and I or does the remote get lost in your house quite a bit and everyone blames each other? What's the remote control situation like? The remote control situation, if it's missing, ah we ask George.
00:48:37
Speaker
George, because George is very, um he walks around with it. Because if he's put something on and he's watching it. Right.
00:48:47
Speaker
Like, that is what you're going to be on that TV. Right. but it does get moved around a lot. Right. we've We've got a very, our type of, um, our sofa seems to eat remotes quite well. The cushions move around a lot.
00:49:07
Speaker
It's a, there's a lot going on with our couch where things tend to fall behind the cushions. Um, yeah. So, and and I rightly get blamed for it. I'm generally the last one to have had the remote.
00:49:18
Speaker
If Kate and i are watching TV together, I'm usually, you know, I'm, asked to be in charge of the remote so if it gets lost it's usually me but it's uh we have a remote control for the lights and the fans on the ceiling and that that's not allowed to leave a specific bowl because if that gets lost then then you know you can't turn the lights on and off it's it's yeah it's It's chaos in our household if we lose that remote. So it has to stay in the wooden bowl.
00:49:44
Speaker
But the TV remote can move around a little bit because we know if it's lost, it's in the couch. um We just have to dig behind the cushions. um But yeah, I love this, the the rabbi playing the electric guitar.
00:49:57
Speaker
And this is where Phoebe comes in and she and Scott have done the deed. And he had convinced her beforehand, though, that... no pressure. He can, she can call if he wants, or she said to him, he can call if he wants.
00:50:11
Speaker
And Joey's mind is just blown at this point. Right. Because she's begged. She said, yeah it's fine if you don't call me again. and then, um, yeah, he doesn't like, okay.
00:50:27
Speaker
Yeah. This man is my God. and Right. It's a great, great line. um And I like, he has a little sort of a Tupperware thing of cookies. i don't know if you noticed.
00:50:40
Speaker
Yeah, and she takes one. She takes one. I like to think that Monica's so bored she just baked some cookies for Joey. Probably didn't. Who knows? But I just like to think that that's part of her unemployment thing is she's baking for everybody because that's what she does.
00:50:56
Speaker
yeah well and she medals in their lives and and cooks and feeds and yes this is what i i love that i'm sure that's exactly what happened yeah i hope it is but one of the most important scenes i think we could see in the whole series coming up ah away oh is this the before But talk to me. yes All right. So then it flips over to it's a pet store or a rescue.
00:51:27
Speaker
And it's it's Julian Ross and they're standing in um in there with a lady that works there. And they're looking at all of them. And Julie's like, which one do we want? Which one do we want? And he's like, they're all cute. Let's just wrap it up and get the hell out of here.
00:51:44
Speaker
And, you know, and he's trying to rush it on. Right. And she thinks he's like stressing out about the commitment. And so she's telling him, you know, I know that this is a big decision, ah you know, but we're going to be OK.
00:52:02
Speaker
And she says that to him and then he turns to the lady that works there and is like, so do you have any that are really old or incredibly sick? And then she, Julie's like, I don't want one that's about to die. and Right. and he's like, you know, so they kind of go back and forth and they're looking. And and so then she's like, okay, look, I'll narrow it down to two and then you pick one.
00:52:30
Speaker
And so he's obviously, you know, so all in his head about Rachel. Right. All in his head. And so he's like, I have to pick me. It's me. i have to pick.
00:52:41
Speaker
And so she's like, yep, this one. And she points to like this little like black and white one. And then she's like, or this one with the stripes. And then um he's like, it's not easy to just choose. They're both pretty and funny.
00:52:57
Speaker
And she's like, what are you talking about? And he's like, i'd I could really be happy with either one. And then she's like, okay, let's get both.
00:53:08
Speaker
And then he's like, whoa, ah can't I can't get both. I am not the kind guy that would have two cats. Joey's the kind of guy that would have two cats. I see now the metaphor.
00:53:21
Speaker
Yes. I didn't get it. Yes, I did. Yeah, because he had spiraled and was over here having this whole other situation going on while Julie's in the present having this situation.
00:53:34
Speaker
Ah, so that's why Joey's the kind of guy who could have two cats. Yes. That makes a lot more sense to me. That's Yeah, I'm sure. And so, you know, so then then we go to the coffee house, and it's and that's why the statement, I didn't get a cat.
00:53:56
Speaker
Now, tell me something. When I was looking at IMDb, um there was a line that somebody had written. So I'm assuming that your scene here might be longer than mine.
00:54:08
Speaker
And I don't know if this is true. It said in this episode, Gunther's name is finally revealed because Rachel says goodbye. Because okay he's walking out. He's walking out and she shuts the door behind him.
00:54:22
Speaker
She's like, goodbye, Gunther. she She says goodbye, Gunther, and shuts the door. And then she turns around and is walking. And then the door opens. Ross comes in.
00:54:35
Speaker
and then um she turns around is like, and then he's like I didn't get a cat. Right. So that few seconds is cut out of the stream.
00:54:46
Speaker
It just starts with... Oh, it's just her shutting the door and walking away. You don't see Gunther at all, which is a funny thing to cut because to me, Gunther's such an iconic... Yeah. you know Outside of the main you know the main six, you know Gunther's one of those... Well, he's been there.
00:55:04
Speaker
i mean, we he still hasn't set his line. No. like He still has not set his line, but you know he is who he is because he always there.
00:55:16
Speaker
He is Gunther with that that bleached white hair and all of that. Yeah. yeah but I see Rachel's like, he comes in. Now, contrary to what listeners might think, I'm really not trying just to rag on Ross all the time.
00:55:30
Speaker
As you should for this scene, though. he They both are jerks. They both kind of are, and maybe maybe they they are. They both are.
00:55:40
Speaker
I think in my head, Ross might be more of a jerk, but they are. they've They've got no right to be angry with each other, I don't think. um Ross, to me, just definitely doesn't, I mean, yeah I mean, Rachel didn't handle it great, calling him drunk and leaving a message. That's not ideal.
00:55:58
Speaker
But she didn't do anything wrong. No, she didn't. She didn't. it's I mean, like I it's not ideal, but it's not wrong. Right. And get real.
00:56:09
Speaker
Like, Ross hasn't gotten drunk and done anything stupid. Right. and and Spoiler alert, Ross, you're going to get drunk and do something real stupid later.
00:56:20
Speaker
Right. man yeah but know He seems to hold himself to different standards of others. i To me, he came in aggressively, and then Rachel kind of fired back, and it wasn't great on either side, but Yeah, I mean, he's not told Rachel for so long about his feelings.
00:56:38
Speaker
And he's mad when she, you know, he's taking his frustration out on her when he's not, he's just frustrated at the situation. Not her. I don't think he handles it correctly at all.
00:56:50
Speaker
No, but surprise, surprise. Right? This is what he does. ah They get mad at each other. He storms out. Rachel locks the doors, but he comes back. And then this is the first...
00:57:03
Speaker
It's not their first kiss, I don't believe, it's certainly their kiss. Right, it's the kiss. their kiss that kind of brings them together. Yeah, because she kissed him in the laundromat.
00:57:15
Speaker
Yes. Yes. yeah And I feel like there's been one other smooch. I do too. I can't think what it is. um
00:57:26
Speaker
Yeah. it's a It's an interesting thing. because you know so much of the Ross and Rachel story revolves around the copy girl. But in this situation, Ross is also, i mean, he's cheating on Julie.
00:57:40
Speaker
There's no ways around it And Rachel's kind of the other woman. no you know It's different, but it's kind of- How do you think he's cheating on her? Well, on Julie, if he's with Julie and then he's kissing Rachel.
00:57:52
Speaker
No. Or is he broken up? He broke yeah whenever he's saying I didn't get a cat. That's right. Because they were in there getting the cat. So I i take that to mean that he was like, I can't get a cat with you.
00:58:06
Speaker
No, you're absolutely right. I forgot the about that. Yes. Yeah. No, definitely. So they're not being hypocrites. Right. that yeah You're absolutely right. forgot about that. Yeah. um I mean, and not that I want to stick up for him, but. No, no, it goes against our our instincts a little bit. A little bit, but. He is not cheating on Julie.
00:58:27
Speaker
No, no, no. I do love this final scene so very much with Chandler and Monica. um What time did you say? It was 6.30 in the morning. 6.30 in the morning. And we have one pound to go.
00:58:44
Speaker
and he manages to to weave his way into her psyche and getting her to have nap on the couch. Yes. Yeah. yeah And she lies down. and and What's that music, that Hello Mother, Hello Father music that kind of plays when he skips off?
00:59:01
Speaker
I can't remember what that's from. Yeah, I don't know either. And I heard it and everybody knows that song. Yeah. But I don't know what it is. and Yeah. And he kind of skips back off to bed, which is just just wonderfully done. And that's that's where this one ends. I think that's kind of it.
00:59:21
Speaker
um Now, let's see who would be your Gunther Central Park. My ah Gunther Central Park this week is Monica. All right. Thank you. Tell me why. What's going on with Monica? Because she's a good friend.
00:59:37
Speaker
Like, she's unemployed, but so she's doing all the things for her friends. like Right. You know, i like that. I bet you those cookies were from her. That's what think. then she set Rachel up on the date, and she...
00:59:54
Speaker
is you know working with Chandler on losing the weight and you know she's just and she's hilarious so she is she is I think that's my winner this week I think it's a very good choice um you know some we've talked about this sometimes I'll go with the character sometimes the actor so for me I'm going with Rachel because Jennifer Aniston had to do so many different roles and I think that line about you know how much fun it was being obsessed with Ross whatever it was at the beginning.
01:00:26
Speaker
And then playing drunk, I'm no actor. I imagine that's difficult. yeah You know, I don't know if it is or isn't, but in my head it is. And then the jumping on Ross's back and then the iconic scene in Central Park. To me, she, she as an actress, had going on. She nailed it.
01:00:44
Speaker
She did. So for me, Rachel gets it because of Jennifer Aniston being such a good actress in this episode. I love it. That's right. Good, solid choice.
01:00:55
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you. Now, how would you rate this episode? Do you come back from Italy with a new acquired taste for coffee in my head? Yeah. yeah My first morning back, ah Thursday morning, I got up at some ridiculous hour, like five 30 before my alarm and everything else. And the first text I sent was to my dad where I said, I hate the coffee here.
01:01:25
Speaker
Right. Right. The coffee sucks here. Stupid America. that's This is why I roast my own coffee. I've become a low key coffee snob.
01:01:37
Speaker
and to get i'll need to i'll I'll need to send a bag over to you. Well, and we've already drank our first sample of oh that's right. That's right. Yeah. it's ah To get to the way like it, you've got to sometimes do these things just yourself.
01:01:53
Speaker
You just have to. We roast our own coffee. And it also makes for a good gift. so There you go. But if you're pouring your cups of Italian coffee, you're sitting on the patio and you're you're watching Vespas fly by and there's a fountain and cobblestones, how many cups of coffee are you going to have as you watch this episode?
01:02:12
Speaker
Well, I would... No, I would have it eight. You'd have eight? I have eight. It's such a good, yeah, it's such a good episode.
01:02:23
Speaker
And it's iconic. Yes. And it's, and um I feel like all the characters shine. It's a good, good, solid episode. It's great.
01:02:34
Speaker
It is. So i'm I'm with you. I think I've given it seven and a half, seven and an an espresso shot. But I think the same reasons. It's not one of my favorites because there's just, Not my favorite storylines or my favorite jokes, but that doesn't mean they're not really good.
01:02:51
Speaker
They're just not the ones that emotionally or whatever, I'm um like, that's my favorite. But objectively, it's so well done. It's such a good episode. So a strong seven and a half. This is strong coffee um coming in at the seven and a half this week. Now let's think. of I think we're just about there. I'm so glad that we are back. Yeah.
01:03:14
Speaker
