FRIENDS of the Podcast

How you doin?  We're back with FRIENDS of the Podcast: our Friends retrospective and could we be any more excited? Ian and Georgia are here on a Friends Friday to discuss all things Season 1 of the hit 90s sitcom as we discuss Season 1, Episode 10: The One with the Monkey. We try to figure out who's got the keys this week as we discuss:

• Is Marcel way too big a gimmick for a show the quality of FRIENDS?
• Does the introduction of Marcel give Ross too much to do as he's now got 3 concurrent storylines (Rachel, Fatherhood, Monkeyhood)
• We talk all about how great Hank Azaria is as David, the Science guy
• Is this the laziest Christmas episode ever?
• We talk about Season 1/Season 2 fashion choices for Jennifer Aniston & Courtney Cox  
• We discuss our respective New Years celebrations
• Ian spots a hiccough in the costuming department
• Georgia corrects Ian on some dinosaur knowledge
• What the original theme song to FRIENDS was supposed to be
• What makes a Phoebe episode so good?
• Whether live music at a coffee house hold the same social conventions as a concert?
• We discuss which parts of the episode are the best for water cooler discussion

We're so thrilled with our theme music by Baltic House Orchestra.  Catch their stuff over at:
