Keeping you guessing with irregular releases! Friend-of-the-Show Meagan joins us again to discuss what may be the best Friends episode to date. Ross and Rachel trying to hurt each other's feelings is way better any of their love-based plot lines. Joey and Chandler free themselves from the burden of possessions. Monica finally gets with Chip. Friends Trivia purrs along. I don't remember what Friends News was about...
Season 4 is upon us. Ross and Rachel are upon us. They're back together!!! Or are they?!?!?! Prepare for another season of will-they-or-won't-they. Monica gets peed on. Phoebe's gets dinner with Phoebe. Friends News calls in the censors. Friends Trivia relives the glory of 1997.
We finally finished Season 3. This one is for all the haters who said we'd never do it. But we did do it... for them. The haters. Who could have guessed they'd finish on a Ross/Rachel-will-they-get-back-together?!?!? plot line? Monica will never date Chandler. Joey loves sand boobs. Phoebe turns out to be her own mother, or something. Chandler will never be in Don't Look Up. Chris will never again win at Friends Trivia. See you in Season 4!
It's a new year and we're getting back into it. We made serious upgrades to our podcast hardware to bring you a recap of this thoroughly average episode of Friends. Pete will not rest until he is the Ultimate Fighting Champion®. Will Monica stick by his side as he climbs the fighting ranks?!? No. She will not. Chandler has a sensitive posterior. Rachel hates to see Ross happy. Chris does not know anything about UFC.
This week, Ross has a growth that he will show everyone except the viewer. Phoebe pulls in some top-tier trim. No one will ever make an honest woman out of Monica. Rachel has song zingers. Friends News brings Taylor Swift into the mix. Friends Trivia grows on you.
Admit it! You thought we were dead. We remain alive. James Michael Tyler, however, does not. RIP Gunther. Friend of the podcast (and sister of Becka), Meagan, returns for her second appearance. Ben Stiller has an excellent turn as Tommy the Screamer. Joey's play is not well reviewed and his current female fixation leaves for LA. Tough week for Joey. Ross gets screamed at. So do Chandler's avian pets. Friends Trivia pits Chris against Meagan in a battle to see who can get the most questions wrong.
We're back to discuss a perfectly mediocre episode of Friends! Are Ross and Rachel getting back together?!?! Talk about a plot twist. Did you know the word 'chick' has two meanings??? Well, this Friends episode will make sure you do. Monica's love language is full-featured commercial kitchens. Friends News is not a doozy. Expect the unexpected in Friends Trivia.
Aunt Sylvia finally kicks the bucket and Monica is psyched! Phoebe's DIY dollhouse is chock-full of character and charm. Joey sleeps his way through the cast of his play. Chandler hates to disappoint the ladies. Friends News is a feast for the eyes. Friends Trivia finds Chris at his worst.
The shirt really is small. We saw it. Are Ross and Rachel headed for a reconciliation?!? What is the director of Joey's new play wearing under that trench coat?!? Will Monica ever find the right man?!? Are Jen and Dave dating IRL?!? Will Chris ever get 2 out of 3 trivia questions correct?!? Tune in now for the answer to some of these questions.
Vacation is over and we have returned! THIS PODCAST WILL NEVER DIE!!1! We're back to discuss one of the best Friends episodes to date. Giovanni Ribisi returns with an excellent performance as Frank. Frank is banging - and going to marry - his former Home Ec teacher. Chandler gets in touch with his feminine side. Ross and Rachel set aside their differences to allow an episode to be good. Jennifer Aniston casually dating some model-type?!? Get the scoop during Friends News. Friends Trivia leaves Chris in a pool of his own blood.

On the plus side, Ross has a super cool new laser disc setup. If you crave bad Chandler jokes, WATCH THIS EPISODE NOW! Friends News updates you on Courtney Cox' Emmy status. Friends Trivia cabs it to glory.
Ross is a dog! Copy-shop-girl tears apart America's favorite relationship. Can the gang survive?!?!

Chandler and Joey picture each other having sex. You won't BELIEVE who wins Friends Trivia.
After some long overdue visits with family and an out-of-town wedding, we have returned! With special guests, Chris's parents! They're Friends noobs and this episode did not win them over. Phoebe refuses to sellout. Chandler has an oddly high, superfluous third nipple. Joey burns legs. Ross is, once again, horrifyingly annoying. Monica is. Friends News gets into some celebrity gossip. Friends Trivia shows that odd people are still good at some things.
The name of the podcast is in the episode title!!! What are the chances?!? Dr. Burke returns sporting no mustache and a more pronounced widow's peak. He and Monica just can't keep it platonic and coitus ensues. Joey and Rachel get into a book battle. Chandler spends most of the episode looking at testicles. Just when you thought the canal of Friends News could be dredged no further, we find some more gunk. Friends Trivia shines brilliantly.

Ross breaks a small child's leg, but she's pretty cool about it. Ross has to sell Brown Bird cookies, which sounds like a euphemism for avian excrement. Friends News limps along. Friends Trivia tosses its cookies.
We scrapped last week's recording because we had a little too much fun a bar trivia before we recorded; it was a mess. But fear not! We have returned, sober enough, to absolutely destroy this episode. It's Thanksgiving touch football extravaganza! It's a pretty lame episode. Some indistinctly European woman distracts Joey and Chandler. Rachel sucks at football. Ross and Monica fight over a Troll® doll. Friends News is almost too hot this week. Friends Trivia has a surprise twist ending!
We're back from a brief winter hiatus! Janice decides to crawl back to the Mattress King. Chandler steals her shoe. Monica, Rachel, and Ben bang. The Friends disturb Ugly Naked Guy as he tries to air out his gut by the window. In Friends News, you'll never guess why Courtney Cox won't give up her Malibu home! Becka tries to extend Chris an olive branch in Friends Trivia. The branch pierces Chris's eye, blinding him.

Giovanni Ribisi returns as Phoebe's pyromaniacal half-brother who's just trying to get some full release in the city. Joey has two functional arms again and wants to show it off by crafting hideous furniture. Chandler wants to have sex with a cartoon. And Isabella Rossellini puts Ross in his place. Friends News stretches the bounds of what can be considered "Friends news". Friends Trivia gets relative.
Hey, kid! I'm a computer! Friends redeems itself after a couple of subpar episodes. Joey is still in a sling and no one seems to care. Phoebe is an excellent, if overly sensitive, agent. Chandler is hopeless and awkward and desperate for love. Ross is super gender normative. Friends News clears its throat. Friends Trivia digs deep. Who wants a body massage?
Chris and Becka do their best to make the most out of a real snoozer of a Friends episode. Joey has jam-based sex fantasies. Monica quits on all of her plans. Phoebe, Ursula, David Arquette stalking both of them, etc., *yawn*, *snore*. Friends News is pushed to the brink due to a slow Friends-related news week. Friends Trivia delves into the trafficking of fluids.
Chris and Becka are underwhelmed by what is allegedly a fan-favorite episode. Insufferability reigns as no one gets ready for Ross's dinosaur fund raising thing. Joey's balls touch Chandler's clothes, but not before he splatters Phoebe with hummus. Monica demonstrates some very advanced answering machine maneuvers. There's a glass of chicken fat floating around most of the episode. Friends News now comes with its own fanfare. Friends Trivia talks a look behind the idioms.
SEASON 3 BEGINS!!! Joey's new hairstyle embraces a certain offensive description of Italians a little too much. Big-mouth Rachel spreads Ross's sexual fantasy all around town. Chandler and Janice begin to build a life together. Janice has a baby in the mix apparently. Phoebe is just around, doing whatever. New Segment Alert: Friends in the News! What are they up to now? Hopefully something on a weekly basis or this segment will die. Old Segment Reminder: Friends Trivia is a disaster!
After weeks of building suspense by not publishing an episode, we have returned with the finale of season 2! Mindy has transformed into a completely different person. Joey tries to brush up on his same-sex smooching. Chandler probably has cybersex off camera. Rachel ruins another wedding. That's a series wrap on Dr. Burke. Ross is just kind of around. Friends Trivia fights the good fight! Bring on season 3!!!
Friends slaps together some throwaway plots to assemble this filler episode before the finale. In the alternate reality of Friends, no one has had chicken pox. Charlie Sheen guest stars as a guy with a scratching fetish. Joey becomes "Joseph the Processor" and tries to tear down Chandler. Monica and Dr. Burke never leave the bedroom *wink*. Friends Trivia puts Chris's Charlie Sheen knowledge to the test.
It's Rachel's birthday!!! Despite zero social interactions outside their clique, the Friends invite about 100 other "friends" to a party in a New York apartment. But oh no! Both of Rachel's parents are there! Rachel's father docks his yacht long enough to show up uninvited and the gang has to keep him away from Rachel's mother. Gunther speaks a few times. Joey sexually assaults Mrs. Green. Pretty standard stuff. Chris continues his Friends Trivia losing streak with grace and dignity.
Thanksgiving leftovers! We didn't get this out before the holiday consumed all our free time. But it's worth the wait because this episode of Friends was terrible! Monica gets sucked into the stock market after getting a taste of quick, easy money. Phoebe tries to meet her father again and maims a dog at the same time. Ross and Chandler get bullied by some real estate agents. Friend Trivia is a celebration of fatherhood.
Phoebe's world gets turned upside down when she realizes the beloved movies of her childhood are not as she remembers. Rachel busts her ass while the rest of the Friends laze about. Ben earns his SAG insurance when he finally gets some lines. Ross and Rachel share a love/hate smooch. Joey and Chandler get a new dad! Friends Trivia takes production value to hitherto unknown heights with all new sound effects!
Our first episode in what is now, officially, the twilight of the Trump era! Eddie desperately needs mental health services. In what we can only assume is a reference to Reagan era mistreatment of the mentally ill, Chandler kicks Eddie to the curb and renders him homeless. Not even a fancy new hat can revive Joey's acting career. The girls join a cult and can't stop blowing. Friends Trivia takes on terrible roommates. So relatable!
Special guest alert! Becka's mother joins the show as we bid farewell to Dr. Ramoray. Will we ever learn how many men Monica has slept with?!? Ross pouts and mopes his way into sex with Rachel. Chandler tries to get to know Eddie and it does NOT go well! Twist! Friends Trivia isn't about Friends at all this week.
A very special musical episode of Just Friends with our highest production values to date. We needed to do something to salvage what was a subpar episode of Friends. Monica and Ross fight. Phoebe gets the Milli Vanilli treatment. The Hebrew Hammer moves in with Chandler and they do NOT see eye-to-eye on the merits of women running in swimsuits. Friends Trivia hits the beach!
A kerfuffle between Joey and Chandler lead to a tectonic shift in the gangs dynamic. Joey has apparently hit the big time and is ready to move into an apartment the size of a small town. Ross discovers his tattoo fetish. Jack, Monica's father, tries to trade her for a weekend with a sports car. Monica keeps "accidentally" seeing her parents bang. The Geller clan is getting real gross. Friends Trivia is actually relevant this time.
Chris and Becka discuss a crude and tasteless episode of Friends featuring jokes about premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and pre-human genital evaluations. Ross and Rachel finally consummate their relationship *wink* and Monica hooks up with someone who is definitely not Burt Reynolds. Joey and Chandler get on the fast track to bedsores and obesity in their new La-Z-Boy brand reclining chairs. Friends Trivia really misses the mark this week.
WE HAVE RETURNED!!! Like another installment in a movie franchise no one asked for. Chris and Becka shake off some rust while discussing a horribly disjointed episode of Friends. Chandler betrays his hatred of Italians when he rejects Joey's traditional Italian gift. Monica makes a dirty salad and Ross lends her some money. And an old high school video provides further evidence that Ross has been moping since birth. Friends Trivia?!? It's back too!
The much anticipated Part 2! More celebrities. Less monkeys. Julia Roberts gives it that girl-next-door charm, then goes shoeless in a public bathroom. Joey, Chandler, and Ross don't know what to do with a pair of panties. Monica and Rachel square off over JCVD and it gets saucy. Chris and Becka go head-to-head in this Friends Trivia installment.
We are still alive. We held back this episode to release it along with Part 2. Or we just didn't get around to releasing this last week. Who can remember? A celebrity-jam-packed affair. Marcel is a movie star. Brooke Shields has a wonderful turn as Joey's stalker. A then-living Fred Willard shares some old wisdom regarding monkey death. Friends Trivia is another barn burner!
Better late than never! is what we always say. Ross overcomes his simmering anti-gay impulses and saves a lesbian wedding. Phoebe's elderly massage patient dies during a session. It goes unspoken but it is likely Phoebe killed her in order to gain her wisdom. Joey smells some farts. Friends Trivia really goes off the rails. There is nothing more you can ask for.
We are live from vacation! David Schwimmer does double duty as Ross and Russ, Rachel's hot new date; it's kind of disappointing. Joey decides he is going to fuck his way to stardom. Fun Bobby returns briefly, only to be quickly replaced with the inferior Sober Bobby. Friends Trivia is a real nail-bitter that ends in the usual way, with Chris in the loser's circle.
Published on time! It's a Friends Christmas special! Monica and Rachel still have no money and a gigantic apartment. The title of the episode is a lie! We never see Phoebe's dad. Current dad theories: reformed member of the Hell's Angels or baby boomer/hippie who sold out to become a pharmacist. Joey has all the zingers. A surprise ending to Friends Trivia you will not see coming!
Just Friends continues to keeps its listeners guessing about when episodes will post! Such excitement! Another Ross-and-Rachel-centric episode that isn't terrible?!? How can it be? Have we seen that last of Julie? Chandler wows everyone with a top of the line PC. Monica makes maligned Mocklate mush. Chris is perfectly wrong in the Friends Trivia round.
Sorry for the delay, dear listener. Fear not: your favorite inconsistently posted podcast is still going strong. A Rachel and Ross episode?? No thank you. But wait! It's actually good. Ross finds out that Rachel used to be "under him". Everyone pretends Chandler gained weight. Phoebe is super thirsty. Chris is left in a bloody heap after a Friends Trivia slaughtering. What more do you want?
We've returned after our blackout week! David Schwimmer's vanity ruins a great opportunity for allergic reaction humor. Chandler and Joey aren't gay until they need to be. Phoebe is reduced to panhandling outside Central Perk. Friends gets desperate with a slew of uncredited guest stars! Tune in to find out is Chris is up on his abducted children facts.
Julie is missing!! But no one seems to care. Income inequality threatens to tear the gang apart. Hootie and the Blowfish party down with their legal counsel. Chandler gaslights a woman into a night of forgettable lovemaking. Joey enjoys a soft pretzel. Friends Trivia is supplanted by our new, permanent segment, Hootie and the Blowfish Trivia.
Phoebe has a secret gay husband?!? Or does she?!? Joey was in a porno?!? How many nipples?!? How could this episode disappoint? Well, it does. If you enjoy watching Rachel be insufferable for 15 of the 22 minutes, put this episode on repeat. Becka tries to throw Chris a Friends Trivia bone. Chris does not see the bone coming. Will he turn and see the bone in time?!? Tune in to find out.
Could this episode be any later? We were pretty broken up after the passing of our beloved Mr. Heckles that we took forever getting this episode out. Joey hooks up with a transgender woman. Ross tries to knowledge shame Phoebe. An erotic clock threatens to tear Rachel and Monica apart. If you're tuning in to see if Chris turns his Friends Trivia luck around, you are in for disappointment.
Breast milk! Gross!!!! Rachel wanders deeper and deeper into the black, thorny thicket of trees that is the Forest of Ross-ly Delights, lashing out at innocent Julie along the way. Joey gets in touch with his inner cowboy. That's about it. Can Chris go 3 for 3 and take home the Friends Trivia crown? If history is any indication, no.
