Kushal and Karan return in 2020 to discuss one of the last two decades' most important topics; Friends - the TV show. 

They discuss how it's aged over time and why some of the 'jokes' can now be seen as offensive or problematic. Conversely, they also discuss the show's merits, and what positive impacts it has had on society today.
