An analytical discussion of each episode of the series Friends to determine which friend is the best friend utilizing a Cosmo best friend test.
The Friends are having a baby! This week's episode includes: Ross reaching a whole new level of obnoxious, Monica catching baby fever and Joey acting as a stand-in dad. Also, Jonathan Silberman stops by and somehow doesn't break down cursing David Schwimmer, even though his very existence is the worst thing that ever happened to him.
Monica punches a much younger man's V-card after each lies about their age. Does it make it right? Does it make it funny? Does it give us a lot to talk about you betcha! Phoebe goes to work for Chandler. And one of our most unfavorite has sex dreams about the others. There's no time for chit chat in this episode as we delve into what it takes to be a best friend.
Monkeys are GROSS and it's no surprise that you find 'Ross' in 'gross' because he owns a monkey. Other notable happenings this week - the gang says goodbye to monkey fever - is this a call forward to COVID-19? Wait... is a call forward really just foreshadowing in disguise? The biggest upset is the friend that ranks number one and is really rank.
This week, the Friends are dealing with a Peeping Tom while Rachel enters into an affair with her ex. Also, Monica fights an enormous sandwich, an enormous shirt and enormous hair - yet remains an absolute angel. Additionally, we get to know a little too much about some of the gangs bathroom habits and sexual proclivities.
This week the Friends chase the monkey. Phoebe makes a huge sacrifice, Rachel get a B bomb dropped on her, and Ross dabbles in both physical violence and verbal abuse. It was the 90s! Also, if you're looking for an unnecessarily long and borderline unintelligible examination of Chandler's sex drive - you're in luck!
This week on Friends, one of the gang manages to steal money from everyone else but she's so whiny, annoying and self-obsessed that they let her get away with it. Also, get ready to toss your cookies as you reexamine the the way Ross describes his relationship with his monkey. Plus, learn about the Aunt Iris fan club and find out which alley Alf's dad is creepy videotaping things in.
The Friends crossover madness continues this week, with the inexplicable appearance of two unknown actors from ER. Joey's relationship with Phoebe's twin is on the skids, the girls commit fraud and the guys prevent a monkey suicide attempt. Warning: in this episode, Gunther is watching YOU.
Friends meets Mad About You in the crossover event no one asked for. Joey dates Phoebe's twin, Ross attends Lamaze classes, and the rest of the gang handles a ball of yarn. Also, Rachel's flatulence almost ends her life. Yeah, that's in there.
Our man, Johnny Love (aka Jon Lovitz), drops in on the Friends this week to portray one of his classic characters - Hungry Person. Also, Jan from The Office drops by for an unprecedented crossover event. All of this, yet we still have time to talk fashion and speak ill of the dead. The Mons!
Love is in the air for the Friends this week! Chandler reunites with the best character from the entire series - Janice! No, that's not a joke. Also, Ross uses an egg to lure a girl to a Japanese steakhouse where he tries to trick his ex-wife into not being a lesbian anymore. A classic never goes out of style.
After Chandler accidentally sees Rachel naked, the gang spends the rest of the episode trying to forcibly pull down his pants. Comedy! Also, Joey discovers his father is having an affair, but it's okay because Joey's mom has known all along. Oh, that's handled well! Plus: The Fishman, authentic NY pizza and someone spots an angel.
The Friends are rocked by scandal this week when a certain Italian guy puts his spaghetti-stained hands on Phoebe. Also, Monica make-a the lasagna, Joey and Chandler invite evil in when they purchase a new table and Ross wears an aggressively large sweater. What is the Kevin Spacey scale, you ask? Listen and find out.
Ross and Chandler's mom share a big, wet, sloppy smooch in the moist - I mean MOST - shocking chapter of the Friends saga to date. Also, this week, we don't do Gunther Watch, we don't check in with Alf's dad and we don't successfully premiere an entirely new segment of the show.
It's New Year's Eve for the Friends and that can only mean one thing - monkey business! And boy do we hate that. But here are some things to love in this episode: Hank Azaria, luminous Monica, Alf's Dad Bottled Water and the dangers of exotic pets. Mun-key!
It's FRIENDSgiving and our experts are at loggerheads, people. Loggerheads! This week's contentious topics include: VD (funny), potatoes of all sorts (even cannon), baggage fees, and who is the real Friends fan? Hopefully, you're not wearing socks because they're gonna be blown off by our special guests: The hero of ID4 and the dad of a certain Alien Life Form.
Welcome to The Flush Factory! The friends deal with some serious issues this week: an anonymous dead hag, drug overdose, Italian shoes and sexual orientation anxiety is explored with the tact and sensitivity you can only get from a nineties sitcom. How YOU been?
A blackout, an Italian guy and an angel...stop me if you've heard this one already! The Friends are really duking it out this week for the top spot, so it's the perfect time to premiere the new temperature scale. Brrrr! Also in this episode: word economy, sound shapes, buns pain and a spooky Gunther Watch. It's "the worst"! Listen and find out why that's in quotations!
Episode six is all about the butt and nothing but the butt! Except for these non-butt topics: Puffy eyes, chicken molecules, the start of Monica's descent into madness, Yemen's first time and the return of the Trik Turner special (t-shirts coming soon). Take a listen and fill out your sheets!
Laundry Day! It's Don Henley's least favorite day but not yours. While Ross and Rachel try to work up the suds of love everyone else is breaking up - or breaking people up. Shout out to Seinfeld, Emeril, Alf's Dad and Trik Turner for helping make this episode possible.
The Friends are back in a real barn burner. This time the gang deals with: an unusual anniversary, secrets revealed, facial injuries, taxes, George Stephanopoulos, and many other events which won't be addressed or acknowledged in any way. However, if you want to know where Gunther is - there is a scoop you have to hear. Slam dunk!
Could this be the end of Friends? Chandler sets off an awful series of events when he can't stop smoking. A controversial episode leads to a heated debate. Secondhand smoke, Karma, spot-on Impressions - no subject is off-limits!
Straight from Central Perk - a steaming hot cup of Episode Two! The debate continues over who is the best friend. Also this week: Lasagna, sweeping, the other Carol, and your brave hosts deal with personal tragedy as they mourn the loss of a hero. This one's for The Extreme!
Kicking off this Friends-centric podcast with a no-holds-barred discussion regarding: the Pilot episode, the scientific method, taking it to the extreme, and, of course, the movie Twister.
