175. S7 Ep21 TOW the Vows
The Friends Reel
Even in the world of Friends episodes, what goes up must come down and this re-watch definitely left us wanting. And there's only a singular general wondering-ment worth discussing: why does this episode exist? Monica and Chandler are struggling to write their vows so they recruit the friends to help. A series of flashbacks showcasing how their relationship has blossomed over the years helps them put pen to paper. All clips are property of Warner Media. Find us on ! Leave us 5 stars and a review.

174. S7 Ep20 TOW Rachel's Big Kiss
The Friends Reel
Long time, no pod!! Sorry we've been MIA the past few weeks. But, we are back with another memorable re-watch. Winona may steal the show this episode but we've still got a list of general wondering-ments to get through. Who doesn't try on a tuxedo before leaving the shop? Should Joey's parents have been invited to the wedding? Let's discuss. Doing a seating chart over a month out from the wedding is not how it works. Do we think Rachel and Ross have already hooked up? Rachel runs into an old sorority sister, Melissa, and recalls the time they got drunk at a frat party and made out. Melissa...

173. S7 Ep19 TOW Ross and Monica's Cousin
The Friends Reel
Even the episodes where Erica and Aubrie disagree on the re-watchability are worth the re-watch! Our list of general wondering-ments is deeply concerning. Raise your hand if you're a woman who WANTS to look at male full frontal nudity in movies? We'll wait. How exactly is this "turtleneck" staying on? How does a Maid of Honor forget to plan a bridal shower for the bride? Ross may be twisted but are we not concerned about Cassie's icky factors in this situation? Ross and Monica's cousin, Cassie, is visiting for a few days and not even Ross can take his eyes off of her. Rachel and Phoebe forgot...

172. S7 Ep18 TOW Joey's Award
The Friends Reel
We will never skip over this re-watch if for no other reason than Ned and Allen. If you know, you know! Our list of general wondering-ments needs to be addressed too. Monica has wedding jitters? Nah, don't buy it. Would the Soapys actually be televised? Why is Ross' velociraptor impression so dang good? Why weren't Ned and Allen offered permanent roles on the show? Joey gets nominated for a Soapy award and brings Rachel to the ceremony as his date. Unfortunately, he fails to execute his gracious loser face when he loses. Ross takes pity on one of his students who claims that being in love with...

171. S7 Ep17 TOW the Cheap Wedding Dress
The Friends Reel
An episode with a bargain bridal shop brawl will always be worth the re-watch. Let's not gloss over those general wondering-ments though. The dress Monica puts on and the dress she pulls off the discount rack is not the same dress. WHY?? Two months before her wedding and Monica hasn't purchased her dress or secured her wedding band? Shouldn't Joey, regular daytime soap opera actor, be able to afford just about as fancy of a date as Ross? Monica enlists the girls' help in getting her dream wedding dress at a discount bridal shop in Brooklyn. But, when a rival bride threatens to steal away the...

170. S7 Ep16 TOW the Truth About London
The Friends Reel
An episode re-watch with the most epic prank of all time is one that we would never miss! But let's not skip over our list of general wondering-ments. That's quite a bowl of pretzels you've got there, Pheebs!!! Geez. In the Joey and Monica "what could have been" scene, don't you think Monica might have also gained her weight back? One might be impressed by Chandler's ability disrobe quickly but let's not overlook the fact that Monica appears naked instantaneously without removing a single item of clothing. Finally, once again, let us argue over the difference between an etch-a-sketch and a...

169. S7 Ep15 TOW Joey's New Brain
The Friends Reel
An episode re-watch where I'm not sure we've ever laughed this hard? Yes, please!! Even with the boisterous laughs and the occasional tangent, our list of general wondering-ments still warrants some attention. Is Guadalajara/La Guardia the best Joey joke of the series? It might be. We're pretty sure anybody would call in a noise complaint over how loud those bagpipes are. Susan Sarandon is a legend and George Stultz is not...let's discuss! Joey's character on Days of Our Lives is coming out of his coma via a brain transplant which means the character of Jessica Lockhart is being killed off the...

168. S7 Ep14 TOW They All Turn Thirty
The Friends Reel
An episode re-watch with a slew of birthday flashbacks is always worth it. Once we address the enormous elephant in the room that is Rachel's May birthday not tracking with this Feburary episode, we move on to the rest of our general wondering-ments. A formal birthday party inside an apartment that, we presume, isn't taking place until after 11pm feels a bit off, right? An entire MILE on a hippity-hop? We don't buy it. Just a tad more effort into character styling for the flashbacks would have been appreciated. It's Rachel's 30th birthday. While she's wallowing in the fact that she's not...

167. S7 Ep13 TOW Rosita Dies
The Friends Reel
Another week, another episode re-watch. The whole of the episode may be mostly forgettable, but still we mourn Rosita's passing. Our list of general wondering-ments is far from forgettable, though. What exactly is toner? While we're on the subject, what is escrow? It's for sure February AND a weekend and nothing is making sense. Why would Rachel and Joey reassemble Rosita before heading out to find a new chair? Rachel accidentally breaks Joey's barca lounger, Rosita. When they return from the store with a new chair, Rosita appears to be miraculously healed...but not really. Jack and Judy are...

166. S7 Ep12 TOW They're Up All Night
The Friends Reel
We would stay up all night for this episode re-watch! But it does come with some very curious general wondering-ments. Weren't cell phones pretty common-place by this point? Couldn't the fireman have disabled the alarm himself before bringing it back to Phoebe? Is there actually anybody that resorts to warm milk to help them sleep? Ross has all the friends up on the rooftop to watch a passing comet. When the comet is a no-show, the friends all head their own ways and are kept up all night for different reasons. Ross and Joey get locked onto the rooftop and have to go down the firescape....
info_outlineChandler's epic failed smile attempt is always worth the re-watch. We do still have a list of general wondering-ments to get through, though. Is it really feasible to get the idea for a photo session, secure the appointment, have the session and receive a proof sheet all in one day? So, exactly how much authority does Rachel have to be giving away a dozen Ralph Lauren shirts in 24 hours? Is this the worst engagement photographer in the history of time?
Monica and Chandler are getting professional engagment pictures taken for the local newspaper back home except Chandler can't smile naturally when the camera comes out. Ross and Phoebe are both dating one half of an almost divorced couple and, before they know it, the divorced couple's problems become their problems. Rachel asks Joey to hang out with Tag and then Joey teaches him how to be Joey so Rachel makes him take it back.
