We are back in Season 6 and Ross is at it again with yet another Ross relationship crisis, this time with his college-aged girlfriend Elizabeth - which makes us wonder if age is really just a number? Meanwhile, Joey's fridge breaks down leading to some hilarious moments and genius financing schemes, while Chandler, Monica and Phoebe are in full competition mode over who can find the better date for Rachel. We are also bringing back quiz corner (this time with a twist). Overall: Fun times. Join us in the FriendsZone, with new episodes coming out on Thursdays.

In this episode, we unpack why Chandler keeps dodging the hard truth by behaving like a one-trick pony, how paying your dues - whether it’s untangling coat hangers or serving food on rollerskates - is just part of the long game, and why Kris nearly sent her remote flying in frustration. Thankfully, she held back, sparing her TV so it can live to tell the tales of future episodes… Enjoy. If you like our show, please leave a rating and tell your friends.

There is no such thing as a free lunch but there is free porn - at least in this epiosde of Friends. In fact, this episode is - dare we say it - packing: There is a Good Will Humping earworm, a Relaxi-Taxi, switched apartments, refrigerator college, not one but THREE babies, Emily and a giant Toblerone bar everybody is jealous of (including yours truly), and to top it off, we discuss whether long-distance relationships, especially across oceans, can be successful. EnjoyIf you like our show, please leave a rating and tell your friends.

Let’s talk about Ross’s thing (insert obvious joke here). And as if that is not enough excitement, Monica is looking at the possiblity of getting engaged to her billionaire boyfriend Pete, and Phoebe has to decide between macho manly fireman and a sensitive Kindergarten teacher. And all of this decision-making stuff is making us wonder: What do you do when you are stuck between a rock and a hard place?

This episode might be called "The One With Ross' Step Forward" (S8E11), but the word forward is a bit of a stretch. While he is not sure whether his relationship with Mona is "mixed tape" or "exchanging keys" level, Chandler joins his boss at a strip club, and Rachel's pregnany hormones are running wild. With all these characters dodging tough conversations left and right, it begs the question whether it’s not about moving forward, but about stepping up and facing the issues head-on.

It's taken a few years, but today we finally find out what is behind that secret door in Monica's apartment (spoiler: not Richard). We also deal with the noises Monica makes while getting a massage, ugly wedding gifts, feeling left out of pregnancy updates and a major crush on a close friend we are not ready to deal with. Let's get to the bottom of all this and talk about why we hide things from others (and ourselves). If you like our show, please leave us a five-star rating and share your comments.

Super Gavin comes to the rescue, Chandler goes into Advertising, Phoebe becomes a method actor: Welcome to "The One Where Rachel Goes Back To Work" (S9E11) where our Friends find new careers, return to old careers and make all kinds of other career choices.

Welcome to "The One With Rachel's New Dress" in which Rachel wears lingerie for Joshua (which unfortunately also impresses his parents), Ross is paranoid about his girlfriend Emily spending too much time with Susan, and Phoebe is trying to decide whether she will name one of the triplets after Joey or Chandler. Tune in as we break down the awkward moments, the interesting fashion choices and how a name can shape our entire identity and influence the way we are perceived by others.If you like our show, please leave us a five-star rating and share your comments.

Welcome to "The One With The Vows": Monica and Chandler are in full-on vow-writing mode, only to realize that that isn't as easy as they hoped and thought. As they struggle to find the perfect words, they reflect on their journey from their first meeting (hello, Thanksgiving flashback!) to THAT proposal. Are we all in on Monica and Chandler’s love story? Absolutely. But did the producers take a few shortcuts with this one? Maybe. Join us as we dive into the laughs and the yawns and the clips of it all while we discuss the art of cutting corners - in TV and life.

For the first time in the history of our podcast, we are staying in the same season for two consecutive episodes. And, boy, did we pick a packed one: Joey and Chandler are entering the next phase in their bromanceship and buy a "table", Rachel is looking forward to a romantic weekend trip with Paolo (remember him?), while Paolo is looking forward to his massage with Phoebe, Phoebe is making cookies to have a heart-to-heart with Rachel, and then we have Ross who is trying to ignore Paolo while navigating the question whether he wants to find out the sex of his baby. Oh, and Monica is handing out the title-giving lasagnas she made. Let's talk about this yummy episode and fangirl together over how amazing Phoebe is when she is telling Rachel those not-so-awesome news. Might she have cracked the code to successful interpersonal communication? If you like our show, please leave us a five-star rating and share your comments.

Welcome back to Season 1 and the show‘s very first cliffhanger. This one has a lot to offer: from being a giver thanks to "science" (Joey), giving appropriate birthday presents (Ross), managing relationships (Joey, Ross, Rachel), not being able to keep secrets (Chandler), giving interesting advice (Monica), and rushing to airports, twice (Rachel). And in between all that, Rachel finds out that Ross is in love with her. Heavy stuff. Come join us as we explore this cliffhanger episode that kicks off 10 years of will-they-won't-they.

Baby Girl Gellar-Green is here and we are celebrating this momentous occasion with our very first double episode. Let's tackle the big decisions our Friends make in these season-ending cliffhanger episodes: there is Monica and Chandler's baby wish, there is Ross wondering why he is not with Rachel, there is Joey finding a ring in the wrong place at the wrong time and there is us wondering what it takes to make big decisions in life.

"Je de floop flee. Poof!" Welcome to a new episode in which Joey (thinks he) speaks French which leads to a few frustrating but also a lot of funny moments. Meanwhile, Chandler and Monica are confronted with the possibility that the child they are going to adopt was conceived by a shovel-wielding father killer, and Ross and Rachel are dealing with the question whether that thing with them is ever off the table - which makes us deep dive into a discussion on soulmating (yes, that is a word).

This one is all about Chandler being a true Magna Doodle Idiot, which is not only a bit out of character but also almost ruins Joey's career.

Asking for a friend: Is the Princess Leia Fantasy an actual thing? Since there is not that much else happening (agree?), we talk about what the writers were trying to do with this season opener, love that Jean Claude van Damme makes another appearance in our podcast, and wonder if all of us need at least one Phoebe in our lives.

Supergirl versus Catwoman! The pink bunny costume! An equally weak arm wrestle match. And, of course, Ursula's new fiance... We cannot help but wonder what we would have done in Phoebe's situation, why Chandler would put on THAT costume and whether Ross' costume makes sense to non-native speakers.
