It's TOW Joey Moves Out! We're drinking Twinkie martinis because everyone's talking about how "Richard's dating some 20-year-old Twinkie in the city." Of course, we all know that Twinkie is Monica! Phoebe and Rachel get tattoos -- sort of -- and Joey licks a spoon, setting off a cascade of events that eventually leads to him moving out.

After discussing everything about this episode, we only have one burning question left: Where do you stand on the whole "babe" thing?

It's TOW Ross and Rachel ... You Know! We've got a lot of "firsts" this week: It's Ross and Rachel's first date, Richard's (Tom Selleck's) first appearance, and Chandler and Joey get their first barcaloungers!

This week, we're sipping on Cran-Apple and Cran-Grape-inspired cocktails and we talk about: annoyingly long bangs, fire safety hazards, diner lingo, whether you can wear too many clothes on a date, and the freakin' palpable chemistry between Monica and Richard. Seriously, the last 15 minutes of the show is just us waxing poetic about Tom Selleck!

It's TOW the Prom Video, and we're drinking Blingy Best Budtinis in honor of the gaudy gold bracelet Joey buys Chandler and engraves with "Best Buds"!

Monica endures a creepy job interview with Noel from Frasier (Patrick Kerr), Chandler finds himself between a rock and a mob place when Joey gives him a golden token of his appreciation, and Ross has trouble ACCepting that he and Rachel are never going to happen. Oh and Phoebe talks about old lobster couples.

It's Part 2 of The One After the Super Bowl! Heather made another round of the Handbag Marinara cocktail, Elizabeth went straight-up champagne.

In this episode, we discuss ideal public bathroom sex setups, semi-smarmy action star pickup lines, and the origins of the podcast:

"You give me back my sweater, or it's handbag marinara."

"Give me back my sweater, or it's handbag marinara."

It's TO After the Super Bowl, Pt 1! The second half of this two-parter features that line that launched a podcast -- THIS podcast! And we actually found a cocktail recipe that features tomato (for the marinara) and champagne (for the celebration!): The California 99.

Some big guest star action happened in this episode in the form of Brooke Shields as Joey's crazy stalker, and Chris Isaak as a librarian who hires Phoebe to sing, er, kid's songs.

It's TOW the Lesbian Wedding! Carol and Susan are getting married, Rachel's mom wants to get high (and get divorced), and Phoebe's possessed by the spirit of Mrs. Adelman, her newly-former elderly massage client.

We're drinking butterscotch old fashioneds in honor of Mrs. Adelman/Phoebe interrupting Carol and Susan nuptials by opening a very crinkly butterscotch candy wrapper.

This episode is jam-packed full of Marlo Thomas (guest starring as Rachel's mom), smell-the-fart acting, and lots o' lesbians!

We talk lettuce preferences, nut-baked-good preferences, personal growth, and not-so-taboo sexual orientation.

It's TOW Russ! We've got a three plot lines happening in this week's episode. Monica's dating Fun Bobby, but before too long the gang discovers he's been having a bit too much fun. Joey unfortunately joins the "Me Too" movement when he has to decide between sleeping with a producer and losing out on a big opportunity. And Rachel is in pretty serious denial, dating Russ without realizing that he's basically a carbon copy of Ross.

This week, we're drinking Irish Coffee Martinis and talking about some pretty heavy topics -- alcoholism and sexual harassment to name a couple -- but luckily, Rachel's got another set of comfy jammies to get her through the worst of it.

"Ho, ho, ho-ly crap is it hot in here!" It's TOW Phoebe's Dad! Phoebe finds out her dad isn't a famous tree surgeon, Ross forces Rachel to list all the annoying things about him, Monica and Rachel host a very hot Christmas party, and Chandler and Joey do some last-minute Christmas shopping -- at a gas station.

We're drinking tropical eggnog and talking about things like: baked goods as gifts, baked goods as drugs, hers-and-hers towels, and a possible Game of Thrones prop crossover moment.

OMG it's Thanksgiving in real life AND the FRIENDS universe! We're celebrating this happy coincidence with some Mockolate Martinis -- they taste just like chocolate cake, but there isn't a bit of chocolate in them!

Mockolate Martini: http://handbagmarinara.com/blog/mockolate-martini

It's TOW the List, and Monica's desperately trying to concoct Thanksgiving-themed recipes using a disgusting synthetic chocolate, Phoebe's coming up with VERY awkward songs on the fly, and Ross is being an idiot and making a list of reasons not to date Rachel. Oh and Chandler's laptop is hilariously ancient.

Join us as we discuss all of this, plus things like Props Props, glitzy Muppets, cranberry necklaces, Star Trek-loving IT guys, and really weird posters.

It's TOW Ross Finds Out and Rachel doesn't get any Closure, but we drink some!

Closure cocktail: http://handbagmarinara.com/blog/closure

Ross and Rachel finally kiss in this episode, and the writers were clearly focused more on that than any of the other characters, because we've got a couple of really iffy sub-plots:

• Chandler trying to lose weight with Monica (??)
• Phoebe thinking that the reason the guy she's dating hasn't slept with her is because she isn't hot enough (????)

We also talk unreasonable body goals/low self-esteem, drunken phone call confessions, & Prinsesstårta (we're pretty sure we've got a Great British Baking Show/FRIENDS crossover happening here!)
