Best Friends Club Podcast

10 Things I Hate About You! Both of us think this is our top 3 movies. We'll see you at Bogey Lowenstein's party.

Drive Me Crazy, the Melissa Joan Heart movie named after a Britney Spears song, where neighbors become more than friends in perfect 90s high school fashion. Ashley's never seen this one, so join in for her first opinions!

Come hang out with us VIPs, we're the same height and that is neat!

One of our favourites that, much like Velma, did not get enough play!

And We're dancin'... and we feel alright! Join us for one of our personal favorites from the year 2000, Center Stage!

Renee and Ashley are back! Join us as we recap all of our fave movies from the 90s and early 2000s. First up - Can't Hardly Wait! Don't be a tampon, and give this one a listen.

From the two best friends that brought you Best Friends Club, we are proud to present Millennial Movie Night! Same insane opinions about old movies. Join us this summer for our first episode!

We know that we have been leading up to this moment for the past 10 seasons but it somehow still doesn't feel real and we don't feel ready! Ross isn't ready to let Rachel actually go, Monica & Chandler bring home a big surprise, and everyone else is supporting in this episode (let's just be honest). Join us...for one final time!

Rachel is going to say some goodbye stuff to everyone.... except Ross. And Ross has feelings about it. Erica gets some gnarly heartburn that may be more serious than she thinks. Steph guest hosts with us again! Can you believe next week is the finale?!

Join us with special guest host, Steph! Joey! It's Estelle! (from the afterlife) Chandler and Monica are the first people in history hoping the Hitlers move in next door, since it's a better alternative to Janice. Ross tries to manage Rachel's life and career without her permission and we have some feelings about it!!!!

We meet a new FRIEND, Princess Consuela. And Rachel has a meeting with Gukky, Ross is up for Ten Year, and Joey makes friends with a little girl ghost.

French it up! Phoebe tries to teach Joey French (me floo!), and is a lot more patient than Ashley would be. Rachel's dad has a heart attack, so Ross goes and makes everything worse for everyone, kinda. Erica visits NYC and we find out is Chandler & Monica's baby is the biological son of the high school quarterback or killed his dad with a shovel. Oh, and there *are* spoilers for It Ends With Us, je suis desoles.

Phoebe and Mike get married! But on Monica's schedule. Have opinions on your own time. The boys don't know what they're doing for the wedding, but don't wonder that until the rehearsal.... which sounds typical. We get teary at the sound of the steal drums (and at Marjorie's overwhelming scent). MAZEL TOV!

**In Honor of Matthew Perry** by Best Friends Club Podcast

Literally everything about this episode is perfect. Paper, snow, a ghost!! Let me get an ETA on the peepees. Way, No Way! You were my midnight mystery kisser?! (We promise we don't just quote the whole episode, even though we really, really wanted to. We do play a round of Pyramid ourselves though!). Enough teasin', now it's time for the pleasin'!

***This episode was recorded before the tragic passing of our much loved friend, Matthew Perry*** Chandler gets caught! But not caught doing what they think he's doing for 45 minutes in a house in Westchester. We talk about moving, and not so much about this being a clips show ;)

Phoebe shows off one of her non-main cast friends, and Joey shows off his inability to share food (unless it's yours and looks tastier than his coulis). We still think Ross should have got the nice leather jacket, even if it does say "Boys will be boys" in rhinestones - what? they will be! And finally... Doctor Chandler and Reverend Monica fly to Ohio to get themselves a baby!

Everyone is late! Emma is winning, Monica is Losing, and I think the Rangers ended in a tie. It's our last Thanksgiving!!!!!! :(

Ross and Rachel take Emma to the playground where they both face their own fears - Rachel of swings and Ross of spiders (unsurprisingly, I'm with Ross on this one). Phoebe and Mike start planning their wedding, then unpinning it and donating to charity, then undonating and planning again, then spiralling. Finally, Chandler and Monica are getting appraised (?) by the adoption agency rep, and Joey senses danger - Bert, Bert, Bert!

Ross is stuck between a rock and a hard place with Benji and Charlie, Phoebe has to decide who to gift Gladys to, and Joey does not get booked in a commercial by Chandler, despite how good he looks in shiny lip balm. (Apologies if the previous file did not work for you - issues should be resolved now!)

Benji gives Ross an ultimatum about Charlie, Joey reveals his affinity for Japanese lip balm when Chandler doesn't put him up for a role in a commercial, and Phoebe gifts Gladys to Monica.

Salutations to our fellow enthusiasts of the 90s classic sitcom about comrades! We used the same thesaurus Joey used for his referral letter to the adoption agency for Chandler & Monica. Smart! Rachel's (favorite?) sister Amy comes over, breaks up with her old man boyfriend, and puts holes in the baby's ears. And while one couple is breaking up, another are... well... Phoebe and Mike keep having some jumbotron misfires.

Emma is this many years old - ::holds up one finger:: - and there is a cake, just the wrong one. But she is still ASLEEEEP for her own party (seems to me a Gellar problem). Monica and Chandler are NOT in Vermont, Phoebe is writing her worst song yet, Joey is doing moving dramatic readings, and Jack and Judy are leaving the worlds most depressing birthday message.

Rachel & Joey have their first official date, not counting the fajitas from last episode, and it doesn't go so well when they can't seem to power through. Ross has a few mishaps at multiple tanning salons and ends up a 12 on front and a 0 on back. And Amanda Bufamontieze from Yonkers comes dancing right back into Monica & Phoebe's lives, because she's scrappy like Monica.

Ross is fine, we're fine, everything is FINE. Ross tries to digest the news of Joey and Rachel over Fajitas and flan for three. Phoebe catches up with Frank Jr and the triplets. Monica and Chandler learn to always tell your children they are adopted so strangers don't do it for you.

Our last day in Barbados but the repercussions will carry on for episodes to come! Phoebe, Chandler, and Monica are on the listening side of the wall, capturing some partner-swapping in action. Both groups agree they should talk to the other person first before anything more happens. Ross does this on the plane, Joey not so much. Monica gets a treat for the eyes and the ears! Phoebe does Mike the favour of breaking up with Precious for him - you're welcome! Aaaaaand Ross walks in on Rachel & Joey kissing, oopsie.

It's the end of season 9!!!! The gang is in Barbados (can you say Barbados?) to listen to Ross give the keynote speech at a polentology convention. Unfortunately, it rains the whole time so they have to keep busy inside. They do so by - downloading viruses to Ross's computer, crashing a pharmaceutical convention, meddling, table tennis, playing hide & seek from the conference organisers, then kissing! There's also two proposals and 6 partner swaps before we're done. And we're nearly in season 10!!!

Ashley is still here! Hopefully she never leaves. Chandler tracks down a nice sperm donor in the form of John Stamos, Ross makes someone ELSE fall asleeeeeeeep for once, Rachel accidentally lets it slip on a shopping trip that she has feelings for Joey, and Phoebe doesn't have time for any of these childish games, she has to win 'who is more over who' against Mike!

Chandler and Monica get some fertility tests from Dr Connoley, Charlie and Joey start their new romance, and Rachel gets a lecture from Phoebe and a corporate greed massage from "Ikea". Oh also - RENEE AND ASHLEY ARE TOGETHER!

We meet the beautiful Charlie Wheeler, Rachel is trying to work out her crush on Joey, and Joey tries to distract the crew with a play while he throws his annual Soap Opera Roof Party. And we answer the age old question - WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME?

Rachel watches Joey shooting DOOL, and something starts going on in her subconscious because then she dreams of kissing him. Monica & Phoebe have a little feud over the music & garlic content at and outside of Javu. Chandler & Ross have a romantic weekend in Vermont stealing all the amenities.

The gang all drives to the next state over (which state is that, depends on who you ask) to buy a batch of lotto tickets. Chandler waits on his new career fate. Monica is sneaky. Phoebe encounters a scary pigeon. Rachel and Ross have a little baby genius on their hands.

A time before social media, when college alumni sites meant something! Unless you're Ross and no one cares you're dead. Or you're Chandler, and the phone's been ringing off the hook! Joey plots to get Huggsy back from Emma's chubby little hands, and Monica tries to help keep Phoebe's chubby little hands off of Mike.

Monica and Chandler just realized they need a budget, and they go to Joey for help. Rachel baby proofs the apartment (with a little help from a handyman). Phoebe and Mike are moving in together! Ross, The Divorce Force ™ gives Phoebe some advice when they do not actually hear wedding bells.

Give us your money punk! Or your comic books, or your backpack that says Geology Rocks. We'll add it to our bag of Crap From The Street. After that, we can roll our way into childhood obesity with Chandler's new internship and cool kicks. We'll round it off with unlimited nights and weekends and a whole lotta vertical energy at Joey's audition with Jeff Goldblum!

Ross and Rachel are not on a break and not really upset about last week, so Joey and Phoebe set them up on the worst blind dates. Monica and Chandler have a moral quandary about having S-E-X in front of the B-A-B-I-E!

Lucky for no one, Renee and Ashley do some singing in this episode, keeping Monica company! Monica shows her best side off when she sings on stage at Mike's piano bar. Ross does not show his best side off when he brings home a crazy lady in his efforts to show Rachel he's fiiiiiiiiiine. Rachel isn't doing her best either, immediately calling in sick and lying to her employer and coworker. We've called in sick for less!

We talk all about Phoebe's rat babies and *our* rat babies. Rachel accidentally has all of the birthday parties and kisses jerks on her balcony even though there were no lights! Ross and Chandler try to keep Hot Nanny away from Joey.

You know how we never have any idea what we're talking about when we talk about pregnancy and babies (amongst other things?) Well this week we fix that with our guest host Anais in Nashville! We make up slogans for random items because according to Chandler, that's what advertising is, we talk about our own best & worst acting jobs, and Anais speaks French! Must more attractive than when Joey, Renee, or Ashley try to speak French.

Aka the one where Chandler quits aka the one where Renee Quits and Ashley has never really quit. Not much happens in this episode and we still managed to talk for 50 minutes. ENJOY!

Hope everyone's been practicing the art of seduction and memorized the difference between and lager? Good! Because in this episode, Monica and Chandler trick Joey so they can have a little alone time, Phoebe and Rachel have a girls night out indeed, and Mike plays with the boundaries of normal social situations in the land where time stands still.

Rachel's self-proclaimed favorite sister comes to visit for Thanksgiving after her sushi plans fall through, and sadly she ends up single and without a baby to raise. Joey learns how to lie from Phoebe without mentioning raccoons. Crazy Plate Lady lets everyone use her wedding china but it is not without restrictions. Rachel and Ross lay out their 18 page front and back plan for Emma if they die (knock on wood).

Phoebe is going to meet the parents for the first time ever! Unfortunately, it's snooty rich people and all her good stories involve pimp spit, prison, and punching people. Joey and Chandler try their hand at real estate investing but it happens to be at Richard Burke's apartment which happens to feature a lil VHS tape named Monica. And Ross & Rachel get Emma to laugh but unfortunately that girl is all about the ass!

Ross is uncomfortable getting in touch with Sandy's feminine side, Phoebe makes one step forward and two steps back with Mike and a certain man from Minsk, and Monica and Chandler decide what's funny in a Long distance relationship.

Phoebe just wants to have a fancy pants birthday dinner with her friends but they ruin that for her. Chandler smokes and Monica gets forbiddy, Ross locks himself and Rachel out of the house, and Judy is getting wine drunk. Joey is really the only shining light in this episode!

Chandler is weirder than we thought in the bedroom, Ross can't leave well enough alone and creates an entire fake serious relationship for Phoebe to tell Mike about. Paul Rudd steals the show as usual@!

How do you spell it, pediatrician or paediatrician like my NZ autocorrect keeps insisting upon? Well it doesn't matter, you'll either get fired for calling at all hours of the night and day or causing a scene by scaring all the kids in the waiting room. We hope you didn't fall asleep and get re-assigned to Tulsa, because turns out Monica isn't coming with you, if Nancy has anything to say about it. Also, Joey pulls a real Hail Mary which does not work, then does work but only because of the Paul Rudd charm!

The One Where Emma Cries! Sleepy Sleeperson gets himself banished to Tulsa. Phoebe advises Rachel not to wake Emma up, and thankfully Monica saves the day as #SuperAunt. Joey and Ross finally hash out their differences, and we all finally learn what Ross' name is short for.

Rachel has finally had the baby, stealing Monica's baby name since her teen years (ugh), and now we stand idly by and observe the painful experience of Rachel getting proposed to 0 times but broken up with twice, somehow?! We'd prefer that happen to us then getting walked in on by anyone's dad thank you very much!

RACHEL HAS HER BABY! Monica steals her name. Joey kneels down at the wrong time. Phoebe gaslights a handsome stranger. Chandler sees he's ex. Ross does.... kinda nothing. It's allllllll happening!

Join us in a semi-private room for Part 1 of the baby-having! Ross and Rachel are having a baby but not having a conversation about whether they'll be together or not. Monica & Chandler are starting their baby-making journey, right here in this hospital. Joey helps Phoebe swindle a could-be lover into spilling intimate secrets about his life...the healthy start to any relationship. While we wait for Rachel to dilate, 4 women come and go first and we ask... who would you rather share a semi-private room with?
