00:00:04
Speaker
Well, hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Purple Door Podcast, a friend's rewatch pod. have one of your hosts, Alistair, alongside Deanne. Deanne, how are you today?
00:00:15
Speaker
I'm doing great, Al. Wonderful. You know what? I do want to share this with you because just a little while ago, so we're like cleaning and planning and I've gone through all these pictures and I've pulled out all these pictures of Fred, like all these pictures found like class pictures from kindergarten all the way to fifth grade. And right. You know, and then his like yearbook photos. And but anyway, I'm, I'm organizing and getting those things ready because he's graduating. yeah
00:00:50
Speaker
And then we're having like our, our come and go thing Saturday morning.
Humorous Interruption and Reflections
00:00:55
Speaker
Well, i was I was sitting there and I was like, yeah and I was talking along like with Joseph and Fred. And i was thinking in my head, like, we've got so much to do. And I'm i'm like, down my list.
00:01:11
Speaker
And then I was like, what's so funny is that.
00:01:17
Speaker
Whoa. Did you just hear that? I did. Was that, was that sloth? I'm guessing that's the name. That is Kate, who's my wife, who's sitting at the opposite, the table beside me. That is the ringtone when Ben calls.
00:01:35
Speaker
Yeah. Nice. Amazing. And she just grabbed her phone, smiled, put her head down, and walked out the room. Yeah. So that's amazing. Her leave, like, yeah in the background. Yes.
00:01:52
Speaker
That's amazing. Everybody should tell Ben we all said hi. He's a purple door famous. I will do that. There you go. i am But anyway, I was just thinking, you know, in a week, like this will have all been done and had and whatever. And then was like, man, whenever this episode comes out, it it it will be but a memory.
00:02:19
Speaker
Exactly. Exactly. it Time is so weird. and yeah Yeah. Time is a bit of a thief and all of that. It is. But at the same time, there's something like, hey, you know what? It's okay. Yeah. If ah the picture's not perfect or the, you know, whatever, it's not perfect, it's okay.
00:02:41
Speaker
Yeah. It doesn't matter at all. because there will be an episode of the Purple Door podcast. Indeed. to record. Yes, we've always got that to lean on um That's right. Well, yeah, and it's very exciting. So between
Seasonal Transitions and Episode Introduction
00:03:00
Speaker
this and... well Yeah, my time is all trying to figure out who's graduating when and when episodes come out. But it is the season of all the crazy stuff happening.
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah. and And then before you know it, we'll get to summer. And that'll be fantastic. ah Yeah, will. That will be amazing. Well, speaking of summer, that's a good that's an unintentional segue. This week it is The One at the Beach.
00:03:28
Speaker
It is the finale of season three. We are we are going away. We are going to Montauk. We are going to... This this is full of sand and lots of it this episode.
00:03:42
Speaker
Flood damage. Yes. I can't figure that out, how flood damage would do that. But but there you there you have it. Well, I imagine that it all just kind of like it flooded and so that beach house must be on the beach, but everybody's beach houses are always on stilts. So this house i is not on, on, on stilts.
00:04:11
Speaker
So I figure it like, it must've come in. But then the thing that I thought was very nice about that is that at least they didn't have any electrical damage.
00:04:25
Speaker
which right I feel like would have happened if that much sand and water had come in. That's what I'm kind of thinking. No, it sure did make for some funny scenes.
00:04:36
Speaker
It did indeed. well We'll get into those in a minute.
Trivia and Episode Breakdown
00:04:40
Speaker
Let's do bamboozled. Who goes first this week? It's odd. It's me. All right. So you go first. Awesome.
00:04:50
Speaker
All right. So what who is Bonnie's best friend? ah that she had whenever she was 15.
00:05:00
Speaker
Oh. think I can remember the scene. I've got no idea of her name. it's at the very beginning of first Very family first scene Yep, and they're talking about her very first experience.
00:05:19
Speaker
and We're going to have to go with Susie. Oh, that's a good guess. What if I said it's like an... I don't want to be any offensive to anybody out there, but I think that the the name is adorable because it's an old lady name.
00:05:41
Speaker
Okay. And my grandmother's name was this. Okay. Margaret. margaret Oh, that's a great one, but no.
00:05:52
Speaker
Short, four letters. four letters short uh is that anna from the bible the but ruth there you go all right i'm not i cannot take a point but we got there in the end
00:06:10
Speaker
You can take a half a point. I don't know. This would be that would be a major stretch. We'll see what happens in the rest of this game. Okay. My first one for you is what is the name of Older Phoebe's real estate company?
00:06:26
Speaker
I know that. It's Beachside Realty. And you are one for one. Because it's on that sign in the background. Yes. That's well spotted.
00:06:39
Speaker
Yes. All right. Who does the beach house belong to? Okay. I was just thinking when we got started here, I couldn't remember because Phoebe arranges it.
00:06:53
Speaker
Yes, she sure does. But who does it belong to?
00:07:00
Speaker
And I was thinking, I don't remember. um ah Yeah. um
00:07:07
Speaker
she You find out because she's talking about all the great things that have happened, like with karma and all of that. Yeah, then she's not worried about somebody else's karma. um Yeah, I am going to be 0 for 2. I do not remember who owns the beach house.
Family Discoveries and Beach House Dynamics
00:07:30
Speaker
It's ah her client with the fuzzy back. The added detail makes it. Well, it has to be something, right? Right. And it can't just yeah just be you know? Right, right. that That wouldn't be in the spirit of Phoebe, I don't think, at all. But let's see if you can go two up. What is older Phoebe's last name?
00:08:01
Speaker
Oh...
00:08:08
Speaker
It's just mentioned once fairly quickly. Mm-mm.
00:08:19
Speaker
Thompson. i don't I don't know. It is not Thompson, but it is the same name as an elementary school that is very popular on television. No, it know has its own series on television.
00:08:33
Speaker
Abbott, indeed. Dang. Dang. hu That's all right. All right. Well, whatever. right. What mask is Joey looking for to bring to the beach?
00:08:49
Speaker
What mask? Has it got to be? So they're sitting out waiting for him to come. And he says, you know, Joey's looking for his mask.
00:09:02
Speaker
Is it a scuba diving mask? Nope. That's what Rachel asks. Oh, yeah getting a snork or I mean, that's what Monica asks.
00:09:14
Speaker
No, this one so that he can scare the fish. ah I don't remember. Oh, goodness. I'm not the good bamboozled this time. Shark.
00:09:27
Speaker
Oh, good guess. No, gorilla. Gorilla, man. I know. I mean, how could you go to the beach without a gorilla mask? Well, that's what I take every time I go.
00:09:38
Speaker
I don't know about you. Yes. There you go. All right. we need to We need to get on the board. When you're on the board, i am struggling. Let's see if you can go up 2-0. Speaking of Joey, what's the first item that he loses when they play Strip Happy Days game?
00:09:55
Speaker
A shoe. It's a shoe indeed. Yes. Yeah. And then he sets it up on the counter because he won't get sand in it. Yes. All right. And speaking of Joey, what does he bring his luggage in? um It's just like a brown paper bag.
00:10:17
Speaker
Uh-huh. Yes. Nice. All right. Off the off the board. Yay. All right. And for you, question four. When Chandler and Monica, and they're making breakfast, how many boxes of cereal are on the counter?
00:10:34
Speaker
It feels a little mean, this one. but Yeah.
00:10:39
Speaker
Are there...
00:10:44
Speaker
Because I know that there's the shredded wheat box because that's...
00:10:55
Speaker
There's the, is there three? Because there's a red one There's the one that's the the brand that we have now. And then there's the shredded wheat. Yeah, no offense. There's no three. You get half a point. I think it's four.
00:11:12
Speaker
Four. Four. You were right there. What, what? what um I don't remember what the Outrage went back and counted. I just remember one was one was simply called Serial at the front. Yeah, that was the lead box one. And I was like, okay.
00:11:31
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Well, that one does that will give you the win because you have quite a lead. ah Do I really? Yeah, because you've got a two and a half.
00:11:44
Speaker
I have one and I've only got one question left. Huh. Yeah. You get half a pint of that. Yeah. So you've got this. don't think, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't think so.
00:11:56
Speaker
Okay. We'll go for it. What kind of cookie jar does Phoebe have? Like the, the older Phoebe. I remember seeing this and thinking, is it, I know it's not the same, but I remember thinking it was similar to the one like Monica or the boys have or something.
00:12:16
Speaker
Uh-huh. Uh. Is it a cow? That is a great guess. It is white like Yeah, I was kind of picturing white. I don't remember.
00:12:29
Speaker
I can just remember it being white-ish. Yep, it's a dog. Oh, it's a dog. Yep. Yeah, yeah, that was a struggle. You've got one more question. That was a struggle for me. This is a struggle.
00:12:42
Speaker
Why? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know either. I think there's just a lot going on. We don't have... first code Yeah. there's And and different different scenes and things too, different sets.
00:12:56
Speaker
I think that plays into it. Last question for Bamboozled for you is why does Phoebe say she broke into older Phoebe's house when she confronts her? To fill up her ice trays. You're finishing strong. That's exactly it.
00:13:12
Speaker
and Well done, let me write this down. You ah back on on winning in winning ways. Yeah. Yes. Okay. you have i got Do you have any extras?
00:13:24
Speaker
I do. I have three. have three. I've got one, so why do you go first. Okay. what does ah What does Chandler... No, that doesn't even make sense. ah What makes Chandler want to play strip poker?
00:13:44
Speaker
What makes Chandler want to play? Because he's the one who gets um to pick, right? Because
Unfolding Drama and Backstory Revelations
00:13:52
Speaker
Phoebe like spins around and then she points at him.
00:13:55
Speaker
And then he says, you know, a strip poker. And then, was it Rachel or Monica? says why what makes you choose that? Like, why why did you do that? And then he tells, there are three reasons.
00:14:16
Speaker
Oh, It's like one reason, but it's three reasons.
00:14:23
Speaker
It's almost as if I didn't watch this episode. I'm struggling. What were the three... i it's No, I keep thinking it's got to be like a setup to get Joey because of what happens, but I don't remember.
00:14:38
Speaker
No, he says it seems like a good idea. And she's like, And then he goes, it was margarita three, five, and nine. Ah, no, I've got a feeling that was cut.
00:14:53
Speaker
I wonder if, ah see, I'm wondering if some of these things were cut that, don't know. Like, i feel bad.
00:15:05
Speaker
oh don't feel Weird. Weird. All good. I've got one for you. My last one, my bonus. um This might take a little deducing because you yeah I just happened to spot it. On the older Phoebe's fridge, there's a magnet with a popular 90s two word slogan that's kind of fridge related.
00:15:28
Speaker
What do you think it is?
00:15:33
Speaker
Yeah. There was a huge ad campaign with a two-one slogan. There you go. Well done. Wow. I did not notice that at all. Yeah, just over her shoulder. that whenever she takes the picture of Chuck Maggioni?
00:15:52
Speaker
Yes, when she confronts her. think it's actually when Phoebe comes back, think. Later. Okay. Okay.
00:16:01
Speaker
um Okay, so i was I had a question that was to name four things that are on the counter while they're making breakfast. But then, like, don't know. I'd have to go with cereal, milk, boxes, and Joey's shoe.
00:16:22
Speaker
I don't know if that was still there. There you go. Milk and plus orange juice. But it wasn't on the counter. That's not where he put his shoe. He put his shoe like on the counter that goes like this behind the table. Ah, I see. Instead of like the island in the kitchen. Okay.
00:16:43
Speaker
What does Phoebe, the older Phoebe, have in her hand to protect herself whenever Phoebe, younger Phoebe, breaks in? That would be, would you call it a hanger or a court hanger?
00:16:56
Speaker
I would call it a hanger. okay yeah but yeah yeah what would be a hanger if if you were going to say hanger think i would call talking about well no i think that implement that phoebe has is both a hanger and a court hanger yeah i think think it's like an airplane hanger but like other than that what would a hanger be Yeah, so do we need to qualify the hanger by saying
Conclusion and Friendship Dynamics
00:17:26
Speaker
coat?
00:17:26
Speaker
like I don't know, I'm curious. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, there we go. There we go. Let's get stuck into this one. We are starting in Central Park.
00:17:37
Speaker
the The gang are all there. Well, most of them are there, and they're talking to Bonnie about her escapades. And um this is where Bonnie seems to be settling in with the gang. She's very comfortable, evidently.
00:17:51
Speaker
um But then Phoebe comes in with a photo of her mom and the dad and a friend. Um, and I think she'll look at the back of the picture and that says that the friend is Phoebe.
00:18:06
Speaker
Is that right? I was going to ask you if you knew what year they graduated. 1965. Yeah, indeed. that means she's 50 years old, Phoebe.
00:18:17
Speaker
Right. That well, well worked out. hadn't thought that one through. um I suppose then we should think of how old Phoebe, so I suppose young Phoebe would probably be about in the early 30s, something like that at this point.
00:18:34
Speaker
um No, they're not in their thirty s yet. No, just trying to think, because in my head, and I suppose we don't actually know about this, if older Phoebe had her when she was a teenager.
00:18:47
Speaker
Like in my head, it was kind of like ah in high school, but that might not be true, actually, at all. I'm not sure. Yeah, I think I'm just making an assumption there about when Phoebe, our Phoebe, was born.
00:19:02
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know. But they talk it and they're all going to take a trip to Montauk. going stay in the client's house. What was it with the hairy back? Fuzzy back? What did you have? Fuzzy back.
00:19:13
Speaker
A fuzzy back. um I don't know why, but I always like it when we're outside Central Park and we can see it. um And Monica and Chandler are sitting outside.
00:19:26
Speaker
And this is it's the very, very first and the earliest edition of the two of them together. They're not getting together at this point, but I just like the conversation.
00:19:37
Speaker
Monica thinks she's going to die alone, and Chandler says that he'll be her boyfriend. And Monica finds that hilarious, which is just fantastic. ah So Joey shows up with his brown paper bag with his luggage.
00:19:52
Speaker
and then phoebe and ross they show up do they come together in the taxi is that right i'm trying to remember quite how when ross shows up um yeah he just kind of appears yeah that's i couldn't remember if he was in the text up yeah because he walks up and then they're talking about the fuzzy back the guy with the fuzzy back right um hey hey al yes all right so i'm i'm going through i'm looking at this and the i had to find a different website because that other website that would like highlight the things in blue that were cut yes yeah um they stopped like back during season two they stopped okay they only made it that far they're quick and so
00:20:48
Speaker
I found a new website that like I follow a um along and I'm, as I'm going through this episode, a I have to take away, I have to either give you the point.
00:21:03
Speaker
ah Yeah, i that's probably what I would do, right? Because question eight, you had no problems with, but you need to give yourself a point because the one about the mask that Joey was looking for, it's not in here.
00:21:17
Speaker
Interesting. And I feel like this script is of the cut version. Okay. So there you go. Fortunately for you, you had built integrity is what we do here, but you had built up such a lead that's just for morale. I get that extra point.
00:21:35
Speaker
and Yeah. But that's good that you found another another resource. Okay. Yes. Yeah. Well, and it it helps me like whenever we're going back through to understand why what I was saying in my notes.
00:21:50
Speaker
Right. so you got to have yeah yeah So anyway, you need to give yourself a point. All right. I have written in my handy dandy notebook over here an extra point.
00:22:04
Speaker
Okay, thank you. Thank you for the the integrity. Rachel shows up with the massive hat, which... Yes, she did. Chandler, the way he teases out about it, is very funny.
00:22:19
Speaker
And it's so well done. They took me aboard that hat. They did things to me. They did experiments on me. Yes. Very, very well done. Let me find out That it was Ross who gave it to her.
00:22:36
Speaker
Yes. Which is interesting. And I don't know why that's interesting and why she chose to bring it. But I guess there's really no other time that you would ever wear that hat.
00:22:50
Speaker
Right. Ever. Ever. I think a hat is one of those things I would never buy for Kate unless she we were like together and she said, oh, I would really like that.
00:23:01
Speaker
like it's a fast god It's got to fit just right and all of that. like you can't add that's I don't think that's something I would get. Yeah. And I am not. I've seen You wear a beanie a lot.
00:23:16
Speaker
Yeah, when it's cool that's my go-to. Yeah. yeah But you don't wear like a baseball cap or or a fedora or anything like that, do you? The sort of the flat brimmed baseball one I wear from time to time.
00:23:31
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, just depending on what I'm doing, where I'm going, that kind of thing. Yeah. See, Joseph wears a like baseball cap any time that he can. Right. if If it's, you know, if he can wear a hat, he's wearing it.
00:23:46
Speaker
Me, i I don't care for hats. Very seldom will I wear a hat. Right. And I've got, and Fred does sometimes, and George, baseball games, and that's it.
00:24:02
Speaker
That's it. um But, ah yeah, I don't, I do like a beanie sometimes in the winter. Yeah. But um I got the cutest hat, though. A friend of mine found it.
00:24:17
Speaker
and bought it she was thrifting and she bought it and washed it and gave it to me and it's this cute little it's a a little like a women's like ball cap with like the little thing in the back but it's embroidered and it says Fred and then there's like a stamp on the back of it from some something I mean but anyway we just thought that was so funny And so I wore it to the banquet last night and then let Addy borrow it for the rest of the night. And, um, yeah.
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah, but hats aren't really a thing for me. Not really a thing. No, I know i go through phases, I think, but in the winter, ive always got a beanie on the head. I was built for the cold weather.
00:25:05
Speaker
um not I wasn't built for the hot weather with the beach so much. um They arrive at the beach house, and like we've talked about, the house is just covered in sand.
00:25:16
Speaker
How and why... Like I was thinking about the set, like building the set, like that's got to be the bit of pain bringing in all this sand and working with that, but they did it and they make, made it work. Um,
00:25:32
Speaker
I haven't really written anything down about that scene. I've written that pretty quickly Phoebe goes to older Phoebe's house and um introduces herself. And older Phoebe tells Phoebe about the fact that she and her, what well, we think mum and dad were actually, were known as the three losers.
00:25:52
Speaker
The three of them were together all the time. Yeah. um But of course we come to find out there's more to the story in just a little bit. yeah We go back to the with the beach house and everyone's sitting around and I've got the just Joey suggests strip poker.
00:26:11
Speaker
Rachel still flirting with Ross. This is carried over from um last week. And I felt bad with Ross. Was it Ross kicks over Chandler's sandcastle that he's building?
00:26:24
Speaker
yeah a big bully calls him a big boy yes and then she's right yes but you know what was weird so which i found very odd and maybe it's just me and maybe they were just bored and i need to not think about it that much but she's over there rachel's over there she's painting or i'm sorry polishing i i remember yes polishing polishing her nails not painting and she's polishing monica's nails right yes and then she goes to it goes after ros well then if you look at monica's nails like in that same scene right
00:27:16
Speaker
There's no polish on there. It was clear. what's it matter? Who cares? I love that you notice things like the dress and the nails and all that stuff.
00:27:31
Speaker
I had no idea. No idea. Yeah, but I don't know. ah just, you know, that just seems so silly.
00:27:43
Speaker
But I imagine... It wouldn't work out if they had used like a color that you would see because whenever he like, and whenever they're fighting on the couch and it looks like she kind of brushes their face.
00:27:57
Speaker
Yes. There was no, no, like no polish anywhere. And so, I don't know. It just seems silly. Interesting note though. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't catch that.
00:28:10
Speaker
ah Phoebe comes back with the photo til that she stole from older Phoebe's fridge. I forget who actually is. Chuck. We find out later. Maggioni. I don't know who.
00:28:22
Speaker
Sounds like a baseball player. Got no idea. No. Chuck Maggioni is a famous singer. And now famous meaning, oh no. but I didn't know him. i listened to the song and i I did not feel confident that I had ever heard that song before in my life. Right. Like the big the big one, it's called Feel So Good and it came out in 1977. But it's like jazz, pop, music.
00:28:51
Speaker
okay Right. But he just, Chuck Maggioni, he was born in 1940 and he just passed away 2025.
00:29:01
Speaker
Oh, a good long life. Good on Chuck. Yes, but that song Feels So Good made it on, like, the top ten in the Billboard 100 in 1978. Good for him. So,
00:29:14
Speaker
good for him so there's that. Yes. That's who that was, and it's so weird that, I don't know, that like, what a weird person And he doesn't look anything at all like Frank Sr. Sr. Right. Interesting. I'm going to need to look this guy up. It does seem an obscure reference.
00:29:40
Speaker
Yes. But maybe one of the writers just loved Chuck Mangione. um Maybe. Maybe. Young Phoebe is going to have dinner tomorrow night with older Phoebe.
00:29:51
Speaker
And this is where Strip Happy Days game starts. And poor old Joey. Nobody has any cards. Yeah. was trying to think of a question to ask about the game, but really was self-explanatory, but quite funny that they're competing for cool points.
00:30:09
Speaker
And, you know, I can't remember quite the things that they do, that it was very funny. um this this game. And yeah, poor old Joey. He ends up with just every single person.
00:30:23
Speaker
Well, except for Monica. And we see it's one point. Yes. Well, I figure he must have gotten the points. Yes. And that's who he went after. Yes. Monica kind of calls Rachel out, right, for flirting with Ross.
00:30:39
Speaker
Not calls her out in a bad way, but it's like, what are you doing? And then she says Ross is flirting with her too. Which, I don't know if he is. Kind of. We're supposed to be running around bit.
00:30:51
Speaker
Yes, yes. And there's like a little bit of playing and and all of that. But I don't think he was as openly flirting as she was.
00:31:02
Speaker
Right? Yeah, I agree. Now, we have, what Bondi shows up. We haven't really talked about it. What do you think of Bondi?
00:31:12
Speaker
I don't know. Yeah. She's a little much, right? like Yeah. I like her. She's a free spirit. She's like whatever. But there's something about her that is
00:31:28
Speaker
just she's trying too hard, I think, maybe to to fit in. Yeah, I can see that. But that might be just my take on her.
00:31:38
Speaker
Right. Because maybe some people are just like that. you know. Yeah, just very open, very friendly, just... Yeah.
00:31:49
Speaker
Yeah, I think they've been on like two dates and she's already kind of coming up for the weekend with them. Yeah, and that's that's strange. And I don't know. Well, I think that they are on They've been on more dates than that because last week that was their second date whenever she was putting her hand on his thigh. That's right. So...
00:32:13
Speaker
you know so this is a little bit later and she was there whenever they all said hey y'all want to go and then she's like oh i have to work and so you know but um yeah it just seems i don't know yeah yeah i don't too many feelings we don't get to know her really no um But she shows up and she decides she's going to play catch up.
00:32:44
Speaker
And i think the thing I like about her is how like enamored and both Joey and Chandler are with her a bit. Oh, yeah. Like it's funny. um They're like just the way they're acting towards her.
00:32:57
Speaker
Yes. And in the way that, um yeah, gosh. And then Ross is such a dork. he He is a bit.
00:33:08
Speaker
um Did you notice in the next scene it's morning and Chandler and Monica in the kitchen that there was another Yoohoo on the counter? Uh-huh.
00:33:19
Speaker
Yeah. This is... So, like, what is going on there? on there Like, is Matthew Perry, like, is this his, like, drink? Like, why? why Why? If I could ask, I think, a behind one behind-the-scenes question, this this might be it. What is the deal with the Yoo-Hoo that's suddenly making an appearance?
00:33:43
Speaker
um Was that three episodes? Something like that. Yeah. Rachel comes down frustrated. you know, she's all annoyed that, you Ross, Bonnie, they're getting along.
00:33:55
Speaker
Joey Sleep on the Sand, in the sand, iconic because it's in the opening credits a lot. Yeah. ah Kind of like good artwork. Like whoever did that, like they did all this or scales on the tail and like that took some time.
00:34:13
Speaker
and to make Joey into a mermaid, I think. um Okay. What did you just find out? You have that look on your face. Something. I do. Yes. So it says, if you're referring, this isn't the AI answer, answer right? If you're referring to the beloved chocolate beverage, Chandler Bing frequently drinks Yoo-Hoo throughout Friends, heavily featuring it in season three as a fun substitute for alcoholic drink.
00:34:45
Speaker
Well, no, he's in the he ze Central Park. Right. We'll need to dig into that one. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to reach out to our dear old friend of the podcast, Steve.
00:34:58
Speaker
This is the kind of stuff he lives for. And if he doesn't know, he'll probably enjoy trying to find out. So, yeah, we'll get Steve on the case and I'll report back next week.
00:35:11
Speaker
Yes, please. Yes. Yes, please. Steve, answer. Steve will take the challenge. He will love this. um We go outside to the beach house. Now, Bonnie's come back in from swimming, and this is where things start to unravel a bit because she has lots of sand in her hair, and Rachel seizes an opportunity here.
00:35:32
Speaker
um Not good form from Rachel, but she's letting the jealousy take over a bit. And I don't know if she convinces Bonnie to shave her head, but she certainly encourages it at this point. 100% she does. yeah Oh, what's Kate say? Yes, I missed that. what's what's it I said Bonnie is her only person. Nobody made her do anything.
00:35:58
Speaker
Kate says Bonnie is her own person. Nobody made her do anything. ah Well, that is accurate. However, Rachel definitely cheered her on to go do that and gave her the razor.
00:36:11
Speaker
I would agree. Yeah. She is her own person. Rachel cheers her on and gives her the razor. But she is her own person to make her own decisions. She already has her hair.
00:36:24
Speaker
Yes. Yes. In case, well, if George has shaved it once, it's not like this is the big first time to do it. It's like, yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, as long as her hair was, it had been a while.
00:36:39
Speaker
Right. yeah I mean, yeah I've got no real frame of reference, but I'm guessing a couple of years. Oh, for sure. Because I'll tell you, okay, I have...
00:36:51
Speaker
I know somebody who shaved their head back in October. Not even completely bald, but like a really close. je And her hair is now, so October to May, how many? That's two, five, seven months.
00:37:14
Speaker
Seven months. And it's not even like like a, but like a thing. it's It's probably about that. Right. So yeah, we're it's a long time. Yeah.
00:37:28
Speaker
Yeah. um So we we're go inside the beach house. Older Phoebe has called and cancelled. And our Phoebe decides she's going to break into her house to find a clue.
00:37:41
Speaker
um Figure out what is going on and and who are who her dad really is. And this is where Bonnie comes down and she has shaved her head. um And the look on some of the faces. Now, time out. Yes.
00:37:59
Speaker
She knows who her dad really is.
00:38:03
Speaker
That's, yeah. I mean, to me, it's one of those things where I can't quite remember the the time frame. She just doesn't know where he is. Okay. Yes. So she knows who he is because she knows Frank Jr. Jr. That's right. And but Frank Sr. took off.
00:38:20
Speaker
ah tear off And she doesn't know where she is. But that's right she found that picture on the refrigerator of Chuck Maggiore, which she's about to find out. yeah she And it's a recent picture. So she's thinking that Phoebe knows where her dad is.
00:38:39
Speaker
And that's what why she thinks Phoebe is avoiding her. right So she knows who her dad is. she just does not know where he is. That's right.
00:38:52
Speaker
um Okay. Yes. no thank you. for No, no. I appreciate you clearing that up because, yeah, it gets a little confusing, the world of Phoebe from time to time. Phoebe's is confusing. Yes.
00:39:05
Speaker
Bonnie asks, I think, Ross, if he wants to touch her head. can't remember what he says, but it's a good response. There's moonlight bouncing off of him so I can feel all the bones in your skull. That's Because he ends up touching it. Yes.
00:39:23
Speaker
Now, it looks pretty convincing. Like, I think it kind of boggles my mind how they managed to get so much hair into a... You know, what do you call it? A cap. Yeah, just a ball cap thing. But they do a great job, I think. of Yeah. Yeah, do. I did notice the towel around her neck.
00:39:42
Speaker
So I was curious if that's because she still had hair going down her back or something. Oh, that's probably. I bet you're right. yeah bet you're right. like That's a lot of hair to just squeeze in the burrow bouncing off her head. It's fantastic.
00:39:58
Speaker
um We go back onto the porch area, and this is where Ross confronts Rachel about convincing Bonnie to shave her head. um Bonnie's going for a midnight swim. they just that was her idea. i just gave her a nudge. You said you gave her the razor. Right. she gave She's ah an accessory at this point, I think.
00:40:25
Speaker
Yes. Bonnie's going to go for a midnight swim. Is it Chandler? some add Somebody says oh the can they just had some Oreos or something. um No, that's Ross. Oh, yeah, it must be Ross. Oh, wait, maybe no, because didn't they come up as she was heading out?
00:40:48
Speaker
Yes, kept all coming and going at that but that point. But this is whenever Ross and Rachel, um yeah because then Bonnie heads off and then that's whenever he says that you could see the moonlight bouncing off of our head. That's it, yes.
00:41:09
Speaker
And then they start into their conversation about how she's still feeling some kind of way. Yes. You know. Yes. Yeah.
00:41:19
Speaker
um she Yeah. Yeah. broke up with you because was mad Not because I stopped loving you. Right. And then they start kind of, and it's like, ooh.
00:41:30
Speaker
Yeah, it's going to start getting complicated and difficult for them. um Because he obviously still has feelings for her, but he's not. with Bonnie and um I think does Rachel say she loves him but she can't forgive him something ah yeah so we can already kind of tell that this is going to become a ah tangled mess ah right yeah because she says you know I don't know um like oh shit but I still can't forgive you for what you did right
00:42:08
Speaker
And then, yeah, and then she starts talking about how she feels some kind of way. Yeah, so it's tricky because nothing's really changed. Like, she still cares for him, but she can't forgive him.
00:42:19
Speaker
Right. And then he kisses her. Yeah. And then Joey and Chandler come in. That's right, because Joey wants to play strip poker for practice. citizen Yes, and Joey has made cards for them to practice.
00:42:37
Speaker
Yeah, he is he is very keen on this. um Now we go over back to older Phoebe's house. um Phoebe breaks in, but older Phoebe has not gone away. She is indeed there.
00:42:51
Speaker
Did you get whenever she was climbing in through the window and in it it shuts on her butt? No, I didn't.
00:43:03
Speaker
so Okay, yeah, it was just silly and it made me laugh. but I don't know why. but it just Because like it's got that music that weird music playing. Yes. Whenever she's being a cat burglar or whatever. and then she's like, ow, my ass.
00:43:20
Speaker
Like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're quite all right. but But that just made me laugh because if you weren't listening for it, you didn't hear Right.
00:43:30
Speaker
right It's just. you know, you're not a cat burglar, Phoebe. Yes, she's not going to be subtle. But she comes in and I think they both start screaming, don't they, for just a second. The certainly older Phoebe does when she comes down with the hanger. Yeah, got the hanger.
00:43:47
Speaker
Yes. And our Phoebe's like, I'm just going fill your ice trays. But they end up having a very honest conversation about the fact that ah Frank and Phoebe and then what's What's Phoebe's alleged mother's name? Lily. Lily, that's right.
00:44:06
Speaker
yeah um the The three of them were kind of like a couple, and our Phoebe doesn't know how that would work. And then older Phoebe has to make a confession that actually she is her mother.
00:44:19
Speaker
Yes. Because that she was feeling all floopy. That's right. such a Phoebe. It's it's great that they they give give her words like that that Phoebe would use.
00:44:30
Speaker
Yes. Well, and then even in that scene, like with all the mannerisms and that she's doing while they're talking, she's, and I felt all floopy and, um, it's, it's very Phoebe-esque.
00:44:45
Speaker
I mean, yeah they are both Phoebe, but it, it made me laugh, you know, like, I don't know. It's, it's weird, like mannerisms and personality traits and things like that, that you can see.
00:45:01
Speaker
whenever you people get together yes that you might not otherwise notice. And I felt like that with that Phoebe and our Phoebe.
00:45:13
Speaker
You saw, and I think it, I mean, obviously it was very intentional, right? Right. I thought it was cool. Yeah. it's It's so much fun to see those, yeah, those little things.
00:45:26
Speaker
We go back outside the beach house, the boys are talking like so it's Joey, Chandler and Ross about Ross and Rachel casing and Ross just doesn't know what to do. um And you know if he decides to go with Rachel, then Bonnie's available and Joey is showing interest. Not great timing, Joey.
00:45:45
Speaker
But he's ah yeah he's just kind of been an awe of Bonnie, I feel, since the very beginning with just how how liberated and free she she she seems to be.
00:45:59
Speaker
Yes. Oh, but this is the okay this is the part. It's not i had an Oreo. It's the right now whenever Bonnie is telling them that they should, the water's great. You should go challenge like, Oh, no, thanks. I had an M&M.
00:46:14
Speaker
Okay. That was it. knew there was some sorts of little sweetened. A little something. Yeah. But I think that definitely would not have. And we've had ah this discussion about whether or not yes you cramp up if you go swimming right after you've eaten.
00:46:31
Speaker
Indeed, and it's it's an old wives tale, right? It's just, yeah, no, nothing factual about that. um And Ross ends up walking upstairs, walks into a bedroom, says hi,
00:46:46
Speaker
We don't know whose bedroom it is. Bum, bum, bum. It's the cliffhanger for the season. For the season. Yeah, what cliffhanger. We don't know.
00:46:57
Speaker
But we do end downstairs at the Beach House, and I'm going to need your help explaining this. Because Chandler pretends to take Monica out. he know He knocks on the door, and then he does it again, and he's on his knees. He says he's Dorf, and it's something like Dorf on dating. I've got no idea what this is.
00:47:15
Speaker
Oh, I have no clue either. I thought he was just being a dork. Right. Dorf on dating. Yeah, I don't know if it's a reference. sounded like it was a reference to something. It was like, yeah, something like Dorf on dating.
00:47:34
Speaker
um i know you're going to get the answer just now. Oh, yeah, Dorf on dating is an imitation for Dorf on golf.
00:47:46
Speaker
what oh okay What are some jokes or references? Okay, hang on. Here we go. Oh, no. Yeah. While you're looking that up, I do think it's quite sweet that this is the very first.
00:47:58
Speaker
Like I said, they're obviously not really dating and they're not serious, but just a little sort of fun foreshadowing of just how strong their friendship is. i think it's I think it's kind of adorable at this point. It Well, and I like how that their relationship kind of threaded all the way through this entire episode.
00:48:22
Speaker
Yes. Yeah, it certainly does. um Yeah, it's just a very healthy... So Dorf is a character and played by Tim Conway.
00:48:35
Speaker
And um he was... Dorf, he was tiny, right? Right. That's all it was. is and Tim Conway would play him and it was where he would walk around with shoes on his knees and pretend.
00:48:55
Speaker
And and that's what that's what Chandler was doing. That was it. All right. You learn something every day. I did not know you build that one. um Yeah. Dorf on dating. That's how this e episode ends and brings to a close season three.
00:49:15
Speaker
it's um no yeah it's yeah It's kind of sad. But awesome. Yeah, we we're we're going to be getting into good things. But yeah, at the end of season three.
00:49:26
Speaker
um Let's see, who would be your Gunther Central Park this week? Okay, I picked, yeah, I picked Joey.
00:49:37
Speaker
Right. Just because he's so funny. Right. and And God bless him. Like if he's got something in his head like that, he wants to do or whatever, like he's going with it. He is unapologetically Joey.
00:49:53
Speaker
Right. And so he's going on and on about strip poker and then it kind of bites him. Right. But then he's still wanting to play.
00:50:05
Speaker
He even makes his own deck of cards to practice. And it's just so funny. And it makes me laugh. Yeah, as is shoot. He was a second for me.
00:50:18
Speaker
I don't think anyone really stood out in this episode, but I just, I like the wholesomeness of this Monica and Chandler friendship and this storyline. And then, so was like, all right, which one was kind of funnier? I thought Chandler had some other funny moments, so I've gone with go with him this week. There you go. I love that.
00:50:38
Speaker
That excellent. Excellent, excellent. Okay, Al, what are we raiding with today? I know. I mean, is it you-hoos? it... What else could it be?
00:50:48
Speaker
It could be... I don't know. I don't know. It's a tough one. It be Sandcastles. Let's do Sandcastles. It could be Bald Heads.
00:51:01
Speaker
It could be what? Bald Heads. All right. or Or, yeah. All right. Bald Heads. That the moonlight bounces off. Yes, with the moonlight bouncing off. That's so silly.
00:51:18
Speaker
Yes. Okay. Well, anyway, i I'm excited to be typing bald heads. Yes. I love it. How many bald heads are you going with this week?
00:51:30
Speaker
Eight. All right. I went with eight. I think it's a good episode. It's funny. It's... um A little Ross heavy, but I guess it has to be. Sometimes, yes. which is fine, but I like it. I think it's a very good, solid episode. Fantastic. I said, eight bald heads with the moonlight bouncing off. I'm going to type that too. With?
00:51:59
Speaker
Well, I am going with, mine's going to be seven bald heads and a mohawk. Because it's going be seven and half. It's kind of the same as last week. A good episode. A good episode.
00:52:13
Speaker
Solid. Nothing to complain about. Really funny moments. I think i think seven and a half over here. I love that. Well, that is perfect.
00:52:24
Speaker
Yeah, well, we're going to figure out a way of, you know, we' we'll summarizing, round up, do something for season three. And then after that, we will do season four, episode one, the one with the jellyfish.
00:52:40
Speaker
Oh, no. Yes. Yeah, another one that lives in, the you know, sort of the lore of friends.
00:52:49
Speaker
Which we'll have a very fun conversation because I've never been stung by a jellyfish, but I have a lot of knowledge about it. And I deliberately don't want to know until we're on the on the air recording. Oh, I'm not going to share. I will. I won't. I love it. Any final thoughts for this episode before we wrap this this one up?
00:53:11
Speaker
Okay. Well, I can't remember if I said this while we were recording or if whenever we were chatting before, but I really, really, really love Rachel's dress.
00:53:22
Speaker
that she wears while they're at the beach. Yes. With the little, with the islands on it. It's so cute. I love that dress. And that's all, because I can't remember. And if I said that on the air, sorry, that can just be a piece of knowledge. We all walk away really remembering. Worth mentioning twice, I think.
00:53:43
Speaker
Fantastic. As we said, we will be back. Our next episode will be at season three recap. Not sure what it'll look like, but it's going to be awesome. And then back with season four, episode one. After that, the one with the jellyfish. But as always, thank you to everybody for listening to the purple door
