  • 165. S7 Ep11 TOW All the Cheesecakes

    A re-watch that makes us desperately crave cheesecake? Sign us up. But let's talk about our very concerning list of general wondering-ments first! There is absolutely no way these cheesecakes are being delivered from another state without being packed on ice or in some kind of secure packaging. Do you think the woman over Phoebe's shoulder with the thigh high slit knew what she was doing? Would YOU eat the cheesecake?

    A delicious cheesecake gets delivered to the Purple Palace by mistake and Chandler and Rachel eat the entire thing. As it turns out, one cheesecake simply isn't enough. Phoebe lectures Joey on the principle of never canceling plans with friends, but when David, the scientist guy, is in town for only one night she may change her beliefs entirely. Monica doesn't get an invite to a cousin's wedding so she sneaks her way in as Ross' plus one.

  • 164. S7 Ep10 TOW the Holiday Armadillo

    An iconic re-watch of an episode that goes down in Friends history! Where else do you get David Schwimmer, as Ross, dressed in an Armadillo costume? Our list of general wondering-ments are full of fun too. Who actually believes that Rachel Green had a pet tarantula as a child? Phoebe's grandmother's ability to erect a wall inside their apartment without the landlord's knowledge is either extremely impressive or it literally didn't happen. Didn't Richard himself teach Chandler how to do the money-transfer handshake?

    Ross has Ben for the holidays this year and he hopes to take the opportunity to teach him about Hanukkah. But, when Ben is so disappointed he won't see Santa, Ross tries to track down a Santa costume at the last minute to no avail leaving him with only one option: the Holiday Armadillo! Phoebe and Rachel's apartment restoration is finished but Phoebe is worried that Rachel is having too much fun living with Joey to want to move back in with her so she tries to create an unbearable living situation at the Bachelor Pad. Chandler practices the art of being smooth and never quite achieves it.

  • 163. S7 Ep9 TOW All the Candy

    Another week, another re-watch and there's plenty to love about this one! And our list of general wondering-ments might be just as entertaining. What kind of monster said having 150 extras in the park scenes was the way to go? How dumb is Rachel to think stamping something with the word "confidential" wouldn't deter Tag from opening it? On that note, props to Tag for not reading it AND for taking the fall. Do these people really just never lock their apartment doors...even overnight?

    The holiday season is upon us and Monica decides that, in order to get to know the neighbors, she's going to put out homemade candy in a basket hanging on the door. When the tenants get a little too greedy for more candy, Chandler has to step in. Rachel fills out an inappropriate work evaluation for Tag as a joke, but, it somehow ends up on her boss' desk. Ross finds out that Phoebe never had a bike growing up so he buys her the perfect bike and offers to help her learn how to ride it.

  • 162. S7 Ep8 TOW Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs

    If it's a Friends-giving episode it's ALWAYS worth the re-watch! Between Chandler's states game, Joey's "moo point" and Chandler's dog phobia, there's comedic gold to go all around. But let's talk about some of our general wondering-ments, shall we? Monica, the professional chef, really did no meal prep/cooking prior to Thanksgiving day? Tag seemed to get over his ex-girlfriend, whom he thought he would be with forever, rather quickly. Have we been watching Friends for too long or does Joey's "moo point" make complete sense? Naming all 50 states in under 6 minutes is easy and Erica & Aubrie can prove it.

    It's Thanksgiving at the Purple Palace and the friends are spending it together. Monica and Chandler discover that Phoebe has been secretly keeping a dog in her room. Chandler's deepest, darkest secret, thus, must come to light: Chandler hates dogs. Chandler has all the friends play a game where you have to list all 50 states in under 6 minutes. Ross gets a little too confident and when he can't do it, he makes a bet that he can get all 50 before dinner or he won't eat. Tag joins the friends for dinner after breaking up with his girlfriend. Joey misreads the situation and lets it slip that Rachel likes him forcing her to confess everything.

  • 161. S7 Ep7 TOW Ross' Library Book

    Any episode that includes Janice is worth the re-watch. Our list of general wondering-ments, however, warrants some discussion. Again with restaurant patrons being allowed back into a working restaurant kitchen to talk to the chef...this doesn't actually happen! Do these makeout corners exist in large public libraries? How about a two minute tangent to talk about A Star is Born? You're welcome.

    Ross discovers that his doctoral discertation is published and in the library on campus. However, when he discovers that students are using the paleontology section to get frisky he takes security matters into his own hands. Joey has what he planned on being a one-night stand but when Rachel and Phoebe meet Erin they are convinced Cupid delivered her there just for Joey. They finally convince him to give her a real chance and when he comes around to really liking her, it turns out, she doesn't like him as much. Monica runs into Janice and she invites herself to the wedding, so Monica and Chandler now have to figure out how to uninvite her!

  • 160. S7 Ep6 TOW the Nap Partners

    A re-watch that goes down in Friends fandom history! That list of general wondering-ments, though. Should we be surprised that Joey is the big spoon and Ross is the little spoon? Shouldn't Rachel have been Monica's maid of honor to begin with? Does any woman really want their fiance tracking down a girlfriend from over fifteen years ago just so they can apologize to them?

    Joey and Ross accidentally share the best nap of their lives together and are struggling to stop themselves from doing it again...on purpose. Monica tells Rachel and Phoebe that they have to decide who is going to be her maid of honor. Things turn competitive when Ross and Joey get involved in the decision process. Monica runs into one of Chandler's ex-girlfriends who appears to be holding a fifteen year old grudge, so, Monica asks him to apologize to her.

  • 159. S7 Ep5 TOW the Engagement Picture

    Chandler's epic failed smile attempt is always worth the re-watch. We do still have a list of general wondering-ments to get through, though. Is it really feasible to get the idea for a photo session, secure the appointment, have the session and receive a proof sheet all in one day? So, exactly how much authority does Rachel have to be giving away a dozen Ralph Lauren shirts in 24 hours? Is this the worst engagement photographer in the history of time?

    Monica and Chandler are getting professional engagment pictures taken for the local newspaper back home except Chandler can't smile naturally when the camera comes out. Ross and Phoebe are both dating one half of an almost divorced couple and, before they know it, the divorced couple's problems become their problems. Rachel asks Joey to hang out with Tag and then Joey teaches him how to be Joey so Rachel makes him take it back.

  • 158. S7 Ep4 TOW Rachel's Assistant

    It may be a re-watch with one of our least favorite guest appearances but the comedy is still gold! And our list of general wondering-ments keeps us plenty entertained. So did they completely change the plot of Days of Our Lives to write Joey back in as Drake instead of the original part he was going in for, Stryker? A big fashion corporation is doing walk-in interviews for a senior level assistant position? What is happening with Phoebe's pants that are six inches too short?

    Rachel gets promoted and gets to have her own assistant. When interviewing applicants she's torn between the middle-aged woman who is more than qualified and the young boy with the pretty face. Chandler and Monica exchange secrets but when Ross finds out that one of those secrets was his own, well, the gloves are off and everybody's secrets are coming out. Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. is officially out in the world AND Days of Our Lives wants Joey back to play Drake's evil twin, Stryker. But, Joey gets too big for his britches when he takes offense at being asked to audition. Once he gets word that Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E. is cancelled he has to return to the DOOL offices with his tail between his legs.

  • 157. S7 Ep3 TOW Phoebe's Cookies

    A re-watch with an iconic Friends moment and we are here for it! And our list of general wondering-ments is going strong, y'all. Does anybody say Nestle Tollhouse without hearing it in Phoebe's french accent? It turns out, in real life, sailing is exhausting and not fun in the slightest...according to Aubrie! Do steam rooms really have that much steam in them? Monica, the professional chef, really can't come up with her own kick-ass chocolate chip cookie recipe? Does Rachel not know how to properly hold a sandwich?

    Monica is on a mission to be the mom who makes the best chocolate chip cookies. Wanting to get Phoebe's grandmother's recipe, she's forced to get creative when Phoebe discovers that the recipe was lost in the fire and only 1 cookie from a frozen batch remains. Rachel teaches Joey how to sail. Jack invites Chandler to play racquetball with him and Ross but Chandler suffers the embarassment of a lifetime when he sits on Jack's naked lap in an overly steamy steam room.

  • 156. S7 Ep2 TOW Rachel's Book

    A re-watch with an erotic novel, weird massages and wedding budgets. This one runs the gamut of comedy. Our list of general wondering-ments though! Ross, the bachelor, with a delicately prepared salad in a wooden salad bowl with matching wooden spoons for dinner? We have questions. Is anybody on Monica's side of the wedding budget debate with Chandler? What exactly is a Vicker? Joey climbing into Rachel's bed with his shoes on....ewwww!

    Joey stumbles upon an erotic novel that Rachel has hidden in her bedroom and he is never going to let her live this down. Phoebe moves in with Ross for a few days to give Monica and Chandler some privacy, but Ross didn't realize that also meant she would be massaging clients in his living room. Jack and Judy have spent all of the money in Monica's wedding fund so now she and Chandler must pay for it on their own. But, first, they have to agree on how much they are willing to spend.
