003 - T1W Brandon Gets Tongue-Tied and Jozi Laughs...A Lot

April 16, 2017

Jozi addresses her Well of Laughter. Brandon has issues with his note taking; he’s omnipotent. We are briefly introduced to Milo. Rachel gets her first paycheck and Brandon reminisces to 6 months ago when he got his. Jozi shows her 80s sitcom trivia prowess. We talk pajamas whilst in pajamas. Brandon turns play-by-play guy. Receptionists are definitely omnipotent. #rossisanidiot. George shows his snuffleupagus. There’s a battle of the sexes. Brandon references The Blair Witch Project. We meet Janice and drink coffee. Brandon admits to industrial sabotage. Ross is briefly excellent strictly because he knocked himself out. Angela and Bob play the banjo with Monica and Joey. Pheebs is a level ten breaker upper.

April 13, 2017

We talk about the Friends Theme Clapping Conspiracy, is it four claps or five? Brandon doesn't know what plugs were in 1994. He's certain of what they are in 2017. He's also had a dentist go in with ungloved hands. He also explains his Twitter handle. Jozi has a list of the wonders that fill Chandler's office space. Speculum puppet shows are incredible. Every time. #rossisanidiot

Brandon complains about the characters. We discover he can't keep the names Ross and Chandler straight. Joey and Pheebs seem like Urkel from Family Matters to him. He doesn't like audience laughter in sitcoms, especially if is seems disingenuous. Perhaps he just doesn't like being told when to laugh. He also hates the song because it gets stuck in his head. He's concerned that he's insulting his friends and loved ones by essentially calling their laughter stupid, but he respects them, which is why he's doing the podcast.

Jozi likes Friends because of the nostalgia. The laughs are comfortable to her. Also, she can relate to each of the characters at times. And she likes it because it does what it set out to do: make people laugh.

A rudimentary scoring system that heavily favors Brandon is set up. Brandon starts the podcast with a point for each episode of Friends, 236. For each recap where he is impressed with an episode enough to call it enjoyable (to him, of course) he loses a point and Jozi gains one.

Jozi recaps the pilot and Brandon interrupts her. The first interruption comes quick, and it's about the hideous clothing styles of the characters. Chandler drinks pond water from a non-existent pond. The pilot is the only episode that spends the entirety of the credits in the pond - it gets cut for show pulls starting next week.

We start at Central Perk, or the CP. We always do. Chandler has weird dreams and the other characters are really just caricatures of themselves the whole episode.

Jozi points out that Brandon may be too literal to enjoy this show properly. Nothing really makes sense.

Everyone knows that Rachel and Ross will end up together as soon as they see her in the wedding dress, but that probably won't be for at least 4 or 5 seasons…. or, um, episodes. (Foreshadow, foreshadow, foreshadow.)

Joey and Pheebs might should work on the streets, and we talk about ice cream and words used for toppings. It's a Jimmie Thing.

We talk about spit three total times this episode, and it turns out Brandon may be a closet germaphobe. He's picky about which closet he's in though.

There's talk of employment, and the lack of experience seeking it, and it really leads Jozi to sneak in and steal a point from Brandon. Sealing the deal was the bad coffee joke and Pheebs singing sentences.

SCORING

Jozi takes an early leap in the standings, closing the gap.

Brandon - 235 Jozi - 1

FUNNY ROSS TALLY

Ross establishes a baseline of 2 funnies per episode. Will it trend?

Pilot - 2 Overall - 2

RECORDING AND EPISODE DETAILS

S1:E1 | The Pilot |Aired September 22, 1994 | Also known as "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate"

This was recorded in Alaska and Oregon, USA (not) in front of a live studio audience (unless you count dogs) on March 13th, 2017.

NEXT WEEK

Episode Two is next week where we will cover two episodes, The One With the Sonogram at the End, and The One With the Thumb.
