So live. Hi everyone and welcome to another special episode of the Nodioh North podcast. It's a Nodioh podcast that is hosted by Northern Nergs. I am on your horse Sam.
And I'm the horse Paul. I'm joined by a very special guest tonight. One of the main players I would say in the Nodioh North community. So it keeps us entertained a lot and I think she would appreciate it with one of the members of the Scooby Gang as well I'm sure.
Yeah. We are joined by lovely Jen and she's going to be talking about herself a little bit. Hopefully not to make it too uncomfortable because she is one of our experts special special special guests who runs ordinary business and she's northern as well. So it really sounds a little bit different to us.
It is definitely northern there after everyone in the place in a group you live here. Well I'll say nothing about that. Yes. Some people like to push the look a little bit.
I'm sure we say yes. We are going to be having a little bit of chat about Jen and a business. And also talking about the TV show that was the most iconic TV show of the 90s. And I would still go off as not to be surpassed as of yet by any TV shows.
I agree. Especially in pop culture, shall we see it? But because I know a lot of people do have their issues and stuff with certain things but we'll get to that in a bit. So if someone's to do her little disclaimer bit that I was on the BBC.
Yeah. Did you know that Jen? My voice in this disclaimer was on the BBC. Oh privileged.
So everything discussed in today's episode is our opinions and our opinions a lot. If you'd like to discuss anything from today's episode please come and join us in the Facebook group where we have an open discussion. What we want to have is anyone comment for us and tell us our opinions are wrong. We can all agree to disagree and fund them.
So let's give it a fun. Give it kind and keep the toxic behaviour out of notism. Well said. Well said.
Well done. I'm very, very, very telephone voice. It is my telephone voice. That's why I do it for a living.
If you go back to episode one you would be, you know it's a big difference in accents when it comes to Sam. She was very posh and very, very proper at the start. And now she's just a common northerner like those sorts. It's like I was trying to frugal everyone.
I saw no one. So yes, Jen. So thank you for coming on to the end. But rather not to throw you in the deep end and tell you about yourself.
So can you join the Nodial North community? I don't know how long it's been a while now. It's been over a year now. I remember finding you on Instagram and you told me to join Facebook.
I was like, yes. I was like, yes. I was like, is that a good co-lead? So that's fine.
Yes. And it's probably, I would say, I could be a bit flirty with Facebook groups and join them and never really contribute. But this is probably the only group I would contribute to the day when I see content on social media. And so, I'm not sure where to force this.
And the interaction in that group is just supportive in such a good group that I'm in there every day. Just seeing what other people are passing. Actually, it is a group and I have quite a bit of a following on it. And don't really pay much attention to it.
I have a good answer. I've totally forgot about it until today. Yeah, it's easy to join thinking that you're going to be interested in the content and then just never interact with it. But it's just not like that in any of your mouth.
It's just such a good group to be part of the people in that group. Well, some people, some people don't get me with that time. I'm not going to lie. But that's just maybe the probably bastard social media.
No, it is nice to hear positive. And I think that's the thing with any type of situation as well, it's what you've got into it. So it's not just down to the forces because you do post a lot of interest and content as well. I know you just pitched last month for the Nerd of the Month by an American, which is funny.
I should have attracted my heart. It might have helped, but no. Yes. But yeah, because I know you are probably one of the most hard-working nerds I've come across as well.
I'm not sure. You're always grafted. I'm like, everything makes everything up. I'm here instead of everything.
Well, you're like, see when you talk to you and stuff like the eyebrow in the office, you create new things, you're doing new websites. So how did you get started with the whole metal dot MC? Like what I got to go to that? Well, COVID.
Oh, that's great. Yeah. Well, I kind of started metal MC probably in 2020. I had another business I'd had for over 10 years, and that was a stationary business that's the reason I had this office.
I was running a stationary company providing stationary for other small businesses. It was doing brilliantly. It was my soul in for a long, long time and always kept the flow up. And then lockdown hit and boss shut down because there was no suppliers to be able to get my content and things from.
And when it was time to reopen, I just kind of said to my husband, I was like, I really want to, I really want to just focus on my LMC and we have the finances to do it. And I already had the machinery because I'd started that building and doing clothing for small businesses too. And he said, just do it. Don't reopen.
Do the same. I just close the business down and start. I don't know. I've always wanted to do alternative clothing and I wanted to be able to care at all sizes.
So we get a right up to five XL and can go larger if needed. So cool. Yeah, we love that. I'm an XL on some products who have never been asked for it, but it's always there and I do some on all of the things that's there.
You know, if you need smaller sizes, some products I can go down to two X, two Xs and then up to seven XL, but they're not often requested. So because they're limited to the products, I don't list them on everything. But yeah, I just wanted to be able to do that. And so I started metal and say.
I love that. Yeah, it's like came out with like thing and having the balls to do it as well. That's the biggest part. Yeah, because I wouldn't have balls to do.
So again, people always ask, like, what would you like because I like to double in design. And I think like anything's a lot of cool and interesting. But people always ask, why don't you do that instead of the union job? It's like, I tried before I was a massophilia.
I was in a mass with the company I worked for was a massophilia. And it kind of didn't stick to like the what I wanted to do when it was more doing deals and stuff like that again, a lot of dodgy history I could talk about but I get myself in trouble there. I did learn a lot and learn a lot of like tricks and things that how a lot of programs worked. I was never like the trends.
Probably it was all self-taught. I was showing as how something kind of worked around and going to college or university and everything like that. It probably did help in that. It's helped us build up, know the north as well.
Because it's kind of been put together with like busy sticks and me storing stuff, see what works and what things don't work. Which has been a huge learn curve. I think I've read or saw your course, I've had your self in like a design background as well. Is that right?
Yeah. I'm from Leeds, I college in 2010 with a BA on this in 20,000, 1000 service pattern design, which is very, very niche. Wow. Pretty much it just means I'm a digital pattern designer.
I can make patterns out of anything. So fabric and all sorts. I did freelance for a while. And sold some designs to other companies.
I had my stuff on water bottles and phone cases and things like that. But it was just boring, repeat patterns and it built a sketch pretty dull after a while. So then I just started and sort of take all I did really was I started making out prints for friends and then personalizing them and then I bought a book finding machines, I put them on the books and then that moved in stickers and then people started asking me if I could put their logos on stuff and then I somehow ended up as a stationary provider from that. So that just completely came out of no way.
It's not what I wanted to do. It's not what I wanted to do. But I had the skills and I had the machine to do it. So I kind of fell into that and it's so well-prepared.
So I'll always love the business. Yeah, definitely. I think, I think when you've got that background and I say that knowledge as well, I think that's the big thing, having the knowledge to know how things work and go about. And then you can then put it into other things and say, well, I know a little bit about this.
If I can incorporate this into that, how I can say what I call forward and stuff. And that's kind of like what I've been doing for the progression for the podcast as well. Because when we started out, it was literally just two squares on a Zoom call where I then would stop doing it live. So I was able to produce the videos a bit more.
Then we started doing live and find out what software and upgrading things as well. So it's about that progression as well. I know the first time I noticed your stuff, I think it was the, because as you said, like all kind of clothing store, there's not that many other than the big brands that's around that do it well. And yours stand out because I do.
And I love the influences. I think one of the first few things was the Buffy influence ones. That was all, because you didn't make a whole Buffy. I did, I did because Buffy, I grew up with Buffy.
So I knew that I wanted to be influenced by movies and music. The things that I'm passionate about that I know that other people still are, even though it's not around now, so big. So yeah, I did a small Buffy arrangement. That is still a range I still have now.
That was one of the first ranges I made. I've made more and retired them from different movies and TV shows and things because they didn't do well and that's going to happen. So for that range, just still be as popular now every time I play out there. I feel like I see some Buffy on the bat on behind you.
I think it's that one. Yeah, that one. It's not from the Buffy range, but that one is actually new. And it's a broken heart club design, but it's the Valentine's range that I've just released.
Oh wow. So yeah, it's a heart with a knife through and it's a broken heart club underneath. So yeah. So where's the website that they can find us in for me?
Where can we buy your stuff? You can find me at metal dash mc dot co dot uk. Cool. And if you're ever in the North East as well, because this woman works and she is like hard as nails as well, she is a tiny mouth market and I left my tits off this weekend at your Instagram when you share a video of you with the hands warmers that you're pretty much just rubbing it.
Oh yeah. I took it off after about 20 minutes. I was worried I was going to leave a burn mark. I was like, I'm going to take that out.
And a time of market platform to ever Sunday. Yes. And if you have a go to time, it's a lovely place. But boys, there's no one thing at all.
No one's in there at all. But it's under shelter. So even if it's raining, if it's snow, any of these windows, it's secure from the elements except for the cold. I've been once and one time last year.
And it was like, I couldn't fit everything into one day. I did get a reading though. I got a carmarade in which was interesting. Yeah.
But I also got a parking ticket. I was a parking ticket from time of market. Yeah. I did it for a route.
We tried to fight it purely because the person, it was my mum that got it and she was picking me up. So she was there for like two minutes. And if you're a trader and you're dropping off and picking it up, you're allowed to park wherever. And we couldn't, we were contested that, you know, it was just a pick up.
It was in and out in five minutes and they were like, you can't prove that. So you have to pay the fine. And it's like, wow, but he was in and out. That ticket guy was in and out in like two minutes.
He must have seen her park up and got a ticket and then run probably here from the boys looking for her because it was so long to get there. And by the time we found somewhere apart, I didn't care that I got that part into it. I really did not care. Well, I didn't pay half of it.
But there's not many places like, as you said, do have parking wands on a Sunday. But I was on there. They are there. They are there.
They hide. Yes. But I have to admit, I do go to town with market. There is a lot of, and there's food stalls as well.
And it is a fat lad's room and I go there. Yeah. Yeah. So choices there.
Well, by the time we got there, because the guy who goes, I went with them features and when we got there, we went to see one of her friend's stalls and he was telling us all about these amazing donuts. And it was sort of there was a big as he had and everything was like, where are they? I was like, oh, I was like, oh, what are you telling us all? Yeah.
Yeah, there are a few places where once I saw that they openly and they do it regularly. I mean, I wish I could sell out so I could openly, but that's what I said the next week. To be further, every time I've been around your stall, like I have that time now, it's always busy. There's never, when I try to actually have conversations with you and it's always, it's always like two minutes is like, oh, what's this?
This is cool. So it's always like a nice little say hello typing, but Jen was one of our first people as well to advertise near the North from their school. Oh, yes, they did. I did.
I had flyers. And I'll apply this way thing on the end and they, they literally flew out. Just for not people that were trying to steal stuff, naughty this as well. Yes.
Talk about stalls and everything that you do as well, because I know recently I've done with you at a convention. There was the very first convention you do, yeah, no trust. I remember messing with you the night before because you said you were a little bit nervous about which. Yeah.
That's the first thing I've ever done that type thing, was it? It's different to tournaments because you get a little bit of everyone at time of marketing. I, I, but know that I'm not going to get to everyone. I've seen some of the faces of people that walk past my style and are disgusted by what I sell going to some way where you know it's your target demographic and the fear of being rejected by them is unreal.
Oh, pleasure. Oh, bless you. I wasn't. Thanks.
I can't imagine you would be. I've seen what you sell and I've been, I've worked a lot of conventions myself and you are the ideal store. Yeah. Because you are so unique to everyone else around you because you will get the stalls.
I've just sell the generic, you know, a lot of funkors and a lot of statues and I love going to pick, like going to the stalls and it's just, it's something different. No one else is going to have it. Yeah. I love that.
And I, oh, are you doing more? Yes, I am booked in for Easter. So I will be at an invest in Easter. Me too.
I also, I'm a, the Metro San because we might have to have a little road trip more. Yes. I'm excited. I'm quite interested in this year.
If everyone, it doesn't know we are actually going to have our own table there. Yes. Yeah. So we will have the equipment with us as well.
We won't be doing a live podcast, but we will record and introduce as well. So you might get a little video of Jen there. She's not too busy selling all of her shit. But we are going to be doing a comic and not the comic on cosplay competition, which I'm going to have to get other people involved in that cos I was the prettiest of the video that we have.
But we are getting some cosplay experts to come with us to try and help with the judging challenge. I would just want to give everyone a walk. Yes, you win. Everybody wins.
Especially the 12 one as well. It's supposed to be another 12 section as well. Yeah, I guess. Oh, you shouldn't tell us now because of my favourite.
I will tell you what you said. It's fine. But just being in the chat as well, God, we'll have a good, like, same art plan for you. If you wanted to help in, he says, just get assigned to and buy all my stuff so I can go home.
See facts. I should put that on a hoodie. Yeah. See.
And I can just wear that. Well, that can be my jacket for you. And I'll put it on the back as well. Yeah.
Buy my stuff so I can go home. Yes. That should be an interesting one. But yeah, I'm excited for it.
And I'm excited to see it spend more time and see you there as well, which I know it's always been strange. You don't really see the faces behind the screens as much. I don't like socializing at the best of times. Like when we did a nearly up and off meetup, it was like my little hell.
I sat in the corner and just hid from everyone. I think the hilarious thing is, because we do have some next year glasses that run back on the podcast and help run out and they are quite like a goby. Shall we see it in adventures? But they were getting all the attention.
Like the likes of Sean. Oh, you were going with that. I was just thinking that in the shadows, but you know, Charlotte Donna and even Laura, like say, was running down to being crazy. Oh, yeah.
And Nick and people actually walked up to us saying, are you part of the near the North group? That's sure you have much of an impression I made on. I did leave early on that night. I was there.
I just, I had so many to eat. I met up with one of my best friends and then I went home. Lefty do it. But yes, it's always anything.
But it's always nice to put like a personal, the interface to make someone rather just the tag behind it. So yes. It's nice to talk to the person and not just looking at the TikTok screen. Yes.
That's the thing as well. Just before we do start talking about like one of the reasons over here, you are as the social media mogul, shall we say, like say, all the different videos and posts. I am constantly watching your, I don't use TikTok. I have a lot to learn from you from a TikTok.
I don't know. I think I actually only joined TikTok because my eldest said, let's see on the way, you know, you're going to get your business out there. And I knew you were correct because Instagram sort of dwindled down towards the end of my other business and I know it's now I had a platform to get seen on. So my initial videos were all product based and they didn't do very well and then kind of realized I just needed to show my face in front of the camera and just check off all those inhibitions and just go along with the ride.
And you see so many of the people just making bills of themselves and just having fun and just, you know, I mean, I draw the line at dancing on TikTok. I'm going, I just want tons of TikTok but lip syncs and, you know, tutorials and, you know, all that stuff. I'll do it. I think it's so endearing when you can watch someone just be themselves and be very unapologetic about it.
And it's very addictive to watch because you're like, I don't know more about this person and now I just keep swiping up and swiping up and yeah, I do feel sorry for people that see me in their feet all the time. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't ret puppeteation. I looked like it, that's a good process.
So I'm on the baller. I do, I do have a lot of fun machines. I'm not going to lie. So I, like, I get people asking me questions about some of the machines I've gotten, and I'm rather than happy to share that and I wish we could keep it and it's just not cool at all.
So other people want to get into something like book binding or, you know, make because it's just asking and I'll tell ya. Just ask me where we're going alphabetifies. Yeah, you don't want to steal your business exactly? Exactly.
I also really accommodate them as well cos you do a lot of customer stuff, cos I know that's our badge doing a little bit. I know you've recently through it to do so you've recently helped us out because we've done a special gift for one of the like said in the early on podcast members Kelly who recently just had a wee one so congratulations Kelly. We haven't mentioned that. We haven't been able to be.
We've done the baby girl. We still wait for the pictures of the baby units yet but we've done a little nerdy up North Rebel Alliance thing that brought them down and it came out amazing as well so thank you. It was so cute. I mean because I used to personalize with Jen's little tea I kind of didn't want to do that with my LMC but when people come to me and they're like can you do this to do that I'm like yeah absolutely let's do it.
I want to get in them like yeah absolutely absolutely not in half it's all coming to it. And then as you've done for us as well like say I'm sorry I'm going to be bad doing it for a few more these things so but that makes it everyone who's saying them and actually most of them has been taken now which I was not on selling so that was a stressful. I want to do all the off-cats and things we've done a couple of them over the weekend but the answer is absolutely fantastic as well so thank you for that. So moving on now so let's talk about the iconic culture phenomenon phenomenon.
I was going to talk about the friends so we're all around well I'm a little bit older than you too so I'm a few months behind you. I'm definitely in the same year at college. I'd say with this short came along I've never experienced a world wind or a swing where if you weren't watching friends you weren't part of the conversation. Now can I ask you can you remember when it first aged?
Oh no because I can. Now I remember back in one it wasn't the summer it might even be the beginning of the channel four released a new program called Friends and the short the first season and we heard nothing else. Six months later channel four launched Friends again with the first season and short again and then that's when it took off. I have watched Friends twice when it first came out.
I will always remember that. I remember the time I think short of the time. Yes I remember showing it and we will wait for the second season and nothing came of it and then all of a sudden it's like Friends has come in on and I've just watched that. You've only watched it.
I've watched it again but yeah I remember that. I remember that one very well. I think it was a time when channel four was taken not risk but they were buying pretty much every single American sitcom that was being shown because they had that home improvements and for Asia and stuff like that. I think they just came short.
I think they had cheese on because the cheese got cheese on at the late time as well. So anything that was like American related was always on channel four and it was a Friday night I believe and Friends was either between the eight and nine o'clock slot was up around time. Yeah I remember obviously I remember the finale. That was huge.
That was massive. But there's one particular memory I have. It keeps coming back to us that it was round about me birthday and it was coming up to where this season, no it was coming to a new season and me mum and dad took us to the theatre and I was absolutely heartbroken. I was going to miss friends because there's no pausing rewinding or calling back then.
So I just had to get some watch. I was heartbroken. I was going to miss the first season of Friends like the first episode of this new season and I always remember taking a massive hoof. I was around about 13 so bless my parents.
But I remember the thing that stands out the most is not when I watched it the first time. It was when it got released on VHS because I sport a Woolworths of items at the VHS. The world police. But the never used to have the full season because in the VHS the only used to have I think was episodes or three or four episodes for VHS.
So I used to release a VHS and two or three months after the second video was out. So by the time you got the set it was kind of like two or three years down the line. There's so much to comment. I'm very there.
I forgot they did that but you're absolutely right. It was the most irritating thing in the world though as well though. And we used to swap them at school. So because VHS said well, no because these were like 15 quid a video.
At the time, like I said, we weren't rich at the end of the day. And the guy in the Y van didn't have copy version of Friends unfortunately. It was when he when the DVDs came out that he got a snotty DVD version at the car boot sale. Oh this is from the house.
This is from the shop over the table. Yeah. But it wasn't the cops. It was the Trent and Stan that's people that used to be scared.
Well yeah, so I remember that we used to go and scroll and we used to buy the video. VHS or me and the friends used to have like a table. So I would buy one version but someone would buy the second tier. And after I watched the first tier, they would swap them over.
So we used to because for some period, I went off channel for one Skyboy out for a few years. So if you didn't have something like DV, you had to wait till the video just as well. So with your friends used to like video interest rates. And that was like the thing I used to remember is like we weren't trading the X-assists and back here.
It was the time to do these and stuff like blue. Maybe it was like there was no day throw and stuff like that. It was all such a train with friends. And that was always the crazy thing when it came about.
Like how much and how obsessed they were became this one. And it was 10 seasons. Is that right? 10 seasons of Friends?
Yeah. Yeah. Because it was for the time now, because I can't remember a time where there wasn't Friends. Like Friends is literally on every single channel.
It's like a contrary central for a certain period. It was only short for like 24. Yeah. Yeah.
And actually when you put it on, yeah. And they would do like specials like oh this week it's a Phoebe weekend or a Ross weekend. And it's like you essentially just playing the same thing you play on the other day. Like you just don't repeat.
You don't have to watch it in any particular audience. What is? I do have a few set episodes that I do like to watch. Like if I'm in a blue mood, it's like I know this is guaranteed to make us laugh.
So I will just put them on. That's how good this show was. You can think about it. You don't even have to think about the whole episode.
Just love it. And it puts us behind your face because of like say how clever and how good and how. I would want to use the word wholesome because at times it wasn't wholesome. There was some damage like filth in that show as well, which done it was done in the way that you didn't really notice it as a kid.
That's why I kind of think it worked on so many levels because you had like jokes that worked for kids, jokes that worked for teenagers and jokes that worked for the adults as well. So it kind of had them type aspects. But I'm gonna ask a really hard question as well. So what would you say was a favorite episode?
Oh, but not episode. Sorry. What was your favorite memory from friends? Like watching it.
So do you mean like a favorite part of an episode? Oh, it can be a favorite episode. I'm not good at remembering episode titles and stuff, but I remember past. No, I don't know.
I don't know the episode titles. Okay. So I really love when they cancel London. Right.
Joey in London is just it's just it's just it's easily in that episode. He also me loads everything about London and he's like that. Yeah. And he jumps in the map and you know, just a little thing.
I have to love it when he comes in, happens trying to get his bearings direction wise. I just love that those sort of parts of the program. That was awesome. Joey have such a childhood in a sense as well.
We never lost that aspect. Really good. And did Joey rot did do Joey dirty at some points. The made him way too stupid to where it was borderline ridiculous, but then the kind of reeled it back again.
Because Joey in the first first season is incredibly tuned in, incredibly comes off quite smart. He's nothing like how he progresses throughout the season. And I accepted that. I'm okay with that.
But there's some points that did make him like, well, like, like ridiculous. Like it wasn't funny to be laughing at him anymore. And but they did really bad. One of my favorite ones is one of the earliest, and one of the earliest episodes.
And it's where Rachel gets our first paycheck. Right. Oh yeah. Absolutely.
I absolutely love that episode. And it's the George Niffer Luffelakis. Who's that big bird's friend? Actually.
It's one of the funniest line BBCs. I just love that episode so much. Well, that's that's the thing when you when you're watching this show, there was progression like all the characters kind of progressed. Some faster and others, some kind of slowed down at times.
As you said, went after, like I think they realized with Ross, that they made him too serious too early. And then they made him ultra, ultra crazy at the end as well. But yeah, all the flaws and all the things like like, I still love the three things I absolutely adore. And one, the pivot episode when I get that thing, just to see Ross completely bring down pivot.
And then like, can't get this sore forever. That it honestly, I think it's one of the most used phrases as well. When anyone moves or is lifting a heavy piece of like thing, he can't help but see a pivot. And that is just going to be there for as long as friends as remembered.
The Galleball where the player footballs. Yes, yes. And all the different like little nuances like how no one wants Rachel because she's useless. Chandler enjoy your fight, Nova, the Dutch lady who makes up.
No. When, yes. He's flashing. I'm a bit flashing, yes.
And then Monica versus Rachel Ross at the end where they're both like still on the pitch and then the realization, why is it always us to that's left in my career at the end? Because Nova cares enough for as much as us to. The whole dynamic in that episode was just like pure brilliance. I'm sorry to be greedy here.
It's one of my favorite guest appearances. I can't, I've had any TV show I've ever been. The Thanksgiving brand, pick one. You are, yes.
You just named two of my favorite episodes. This is that one, it's just genius. Well, so you didn't Jennifer Aniston then? He was, yes.
Is that how he was at End of the Bon App? Right? Yeah. It's been all Jeff's.
He got a lot of actors in that show. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same as, what's his name?
Donovan? Donovan? He was in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston when he was honest. Right.
She's done well, bless her. He did well. Well, she did well. But the Brad pick one, I tell her, it's how big, so even Ross, not that I hear at racial club.
Yeah. Give her a tini weenie. And then back, so when he screams and says, just pass me the yams and then the favis trying to lick them as well. So everything's going around.
He's just giving them hugs, sniffing them and stuff. But honestly, I can watch that. So just standalone it. It just breaks me every time just crying.
I laughed at it. It's one of the ones that I will go to. But me and my sister only discovered the other day, the other month at Christmas. What yams actually are?
Yeah, I don't know. It's sweet potato with marshmallow on top. Yeah, really? Yeah, it's sweet potato.
And marshmallows on the topness, toasted. I'm just like, yeah, I'm just like, sweet potato. That's all. No, it's not marshmallows on it.
The white stuff on the top is the marshmallow. Oh, no. Is it hot? Is it eating hot?
I don't like, we actually have an American in the chat so gay. Yes. It's like, please. What the foxy arms and why do you like this?
Yeah, I told this now, but no one just like honestly, marshmallows. They're none of that. But we did get some interesting food in friends as well. That's like talking about food.
You can't not talk about the private food. Right. Richesmith. And you can actually buy a recipe for that.
You can actually buy a recipe for this. They've got a friend's recipe where you get all the mixed joy sandwich and the rest of the sandwich as well. But as I've seen, there's videos and things online of people replicating this type of, I mean, I would say, So we should say lady fingers and love the way to look at lady fingers. Yeah.
Why is this okay? It's just because of how you don't realize after the lady fingers that it's going in the mince. Yeah, that's like, great. But he's just said yam's sweet potatoes.
So the marshmallows might just be an extra. Like, Oh, quiet. I love marshmallows, but the idea of them being unsweet potato just made me see them roll. Yeah.
We're talking about food as well. Like, I would love to have tried one of Joy's meatballs. So yeah, it looks so nice. I remember I think it was one of the episodes as well, where he's holding it and keeping it in.
And to show his friendship with with which, I know he says, oh, you have it, but he gives him a bite and channel of things. I thought it was how much and he was not. That's how we did that fire scene, isn't it? Yeah.
Where he protected sandwich. Because he doesn't share food. Yeah. Everybody knows that, right?
That was one of the best day at scenes as well. Though they only sit there, they sort of shut it all off his face. He's going to not even, sorry. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, talk about like, say different aspects of that. A lot of people did cameo in friends as well. So I'm talking about the brand people up there, but what was your favorite cameos in the show?
There's so many. Actually, Robert. Yes. Don't call them down.
And Nick has seen in the bathroom, where he texts the door off and has to walk out because she steals his clothes and he's just wearing a pair of knickers. That's brilliant. Apparently the mass majority of his boot that he's just released is about Julia Roberts. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Because they're in a relationship at the time. And apparently the majority of it is, how much you love Jennifer Aniston and his relationship with Julia Roberts. Yes.
Yes, I didn't hear about that. It must have been Hadram to film so much of the show, while he was in love with the past member that didn't feel the same back. He was making enough money to get over it. But I know you never so it's all right.
I think, I'd say with Matthew Perry as well, I love as a drill of Chandler as well. But there is difficult, there's difficult, when you watch the back now, because we know, because what we know went on, or what went on behind the scenes and stuff, it does get uncomfortable when you see like his transformation when he has all the weight loss, that when he gets healthy and puts the weight back on. But you can even tell he's timing and he's humor as well. There was big shifts and changes.
Different. It's after they get engaged. Yeah. And the way we say close, yeah.
But he is noticeably very slim. And he looks at all poolly. It's half-rigging and to look at it. It's because he had to watch.
We kind of knew Matthew's Perry's struggles, but to the, not to the extent of what we know now, with him being a lot more public about it. And it was just heartbreaking to see that transformation from looking very healthy to looking incredibly unhealthy. Yeah. Yeah.
I agree. I agree. The other one I was going to say, character that I realised was Anna DeVietta or Strava. Oh.
Are you always forget about him? Honest to God, it is such a funny scene. I would love to think that's where Frank was born. In some way.
Yeah. That's when you realise this is how I'm going to be for the rest of my life. But you can see the heartbreak and scene when he goes through. I actually said there's been so many good ones and big ones.
I love some of the little ones as well. I love the Helen Hunt and where... Oh, the matter. The matter you, little Jork, went to the previous sister Ursula.
But actually, I'm sure there was a one with... I don't know if I drank this one. I'm sure there was a one with Rob Williams and Billy Crystal. Billy Crystal, they're on the couch together.
And they're having a... They're sealed their seats. No, they're having a dispute over one of their wives, right? Yeah.
It's like with the other. And they lose their time. Charlie Sheen was really good in his episode. Yeah.
Yeah. They get to check him. Cheers. I've been mixed.
Yeah. That's the fact in each other we're the mix on. I don't think I appreciated Phoebe Tuma. And who Phoebe is as a person until when I became an adult?
Yeah. I actually adore her. Like I said, that was my biggest crush as a kid. I didn't fancy Monica Rachel.
It was always about Phoebe for me. Like, see, I don't know why you must be in the free spirit. I asked Max to it, but I say I absolutely adore Lisa Cooh and everything about it. Um, what...
I had a Jennifer Aniston haircut. I did do it. I'm thinking about it. I'm looking at it.
It does a little bit, but I did have the full bedded... bedded hair because that was huge back in the day. But probably the one person that surprises the most with it was I know you got a few episodes out of it as well. Because he is notorious, like being a grumpy asshole as well.
No, yeah. But Bruce Willis, like how good he was and doing that before. Thinking about it. Yep.
And just a looosh machine. And saying the whole interaction between him and Ross and then like seeing him getting with Rachel and stuff. Like honestly, you would never see in a million years. I think that Bruce Willis would do that after anything that you've read and heard about and behind the scenes and stuff.
Yeah. Yeah. One bad report came out about and being on that show. Because he always hears that something like something he's done is being a difficult to work with or he's being let go because he asked for too much.
And then this never heard a thing? Never heard a peep. That's a nice positive thing for him. And like saying on favourite things as well.
So I know I've just given mine a way about how he was your favourite character. Like, and you can't say all them. I think I like them all in different seasons. Ah, you've got to go on the same way.
Yeah. Two more than one different seasons. But I'd say if I speak one overall, I think it would be fair. She's just such a free spirit.
And she's been for so much in life and she's still in half. She's possibly the worst masseuse out there. But she's never stopped perjuring with being on the show, so she. Depends on your work.
Because if you've got the service that she gives that one point, that was married up. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
Critical pile. I do, like I said, I appreciate Phoebe and I wasn't at all. But my favourite character will always be Ross. He's very endearing to start with.
But there's a part in the middle where he just becomes like, I mean, like barely laughing funny. The episode where him and Chandler are going at each other to where Chandler says he has sex with dinosaurs. And then Chandler's gay. And then Ross is dead.
And my god. And some of the interactions he had is so funny. And the episode where he gets his leather pants, or when he goes to the turn and booth, that still cracks me up to this. I feel like my eyes are going to start watering thinking about it.
It's when he goes home. Well, what colour are you? And he's like, I'll have your shit. And he's like, what are you?
And he's like, Puerto Rican. There's a lot of like, say, okay, I'm with that. But I think Ross, as he said, is one of them, one's ways. Because the show was pretty much me and for David's women.
Like, I think when they, like, that was the only person that had it mined, like when they were making the cast list and everything. I think a few of them came on board a little bit later. I think Matthew Curry was like the last one that he cast us on. You know, they're very never rightly.
It was on the reunion, wasn't it? Because I mentioned with a step-by-step guide, and they were all the show with David Schummer in mind. So he was always going to be Ross. And there was no other one, or Ross, if you remember.
Ross, I don't know. It took me a long time to realize I was actually David Schwimmer. I genuinely thought, as a kid watching it, that they just got someone in that really looked like him. It took a good job with the makeup as well, because it was the saving as well.
But I think Ross got better when they moved in the way from Rachel. Because I know we all love the storyline at the time, but friends actually got better when they moved away from the Ross and Rachel. And having, like, say, the weather on a break and all that stuff. When they got away from that dance, I think that friends to me, got in its own and started becoming, like, as I said, the phenol that I was, is after the beach episode.
When Ross basically front and back with 15 pages. And he takes one either. But that's when, I think, you could tell the notes that have changed in not just the look, but the colors and the quality of the film. And they could tell that there was money involved.
And it kind of grew a lot from there. And that's when, to me, in my eyes, that became what we got now. Because I think the first, early days, it was very much just the romance and comedy. And it was actually the friends aspect was going to be, like, the size age.
But then it stopped focusing on Ross and Rachel, and then focused on the group of friends and how things evolve and change. And it was nice to think, and I'm glad to didn't go with the obvious as well, because the obvious way that the kind of done is going, Rachel and Ross got together. I know Chandler and Monica got together, then having Joey and Phoebe get together, that's, I think, would have not worked as well. And I like how he moved away and brought in Mike as a character, because Paul Grot is just good and everything that he does.
I went in class as a cabinet company, because he just came in and saw it, so he said he'd come in. It's when she tells it, when she asks him to play piano, and he's like, well, I don't have one in front of his, well, the true penis wouldn't have anything like that stand in the way. And he just starts playing it! I just remember to someone else who is a regular, she's being in a few episodes, but she is an absolute highlight for me.
And I will go back and watch her episode as Christine Abigat is... I know you were going to say Rachel's really just a... Yeah, she is absolutely phenomenal. It's when she goes and her flaws!
Yeah, she is brilliant in that program. Oh, is it she Amy, isn't she? Yeah. And Reese's...
I don't know, because I said this one, all the sisters, what Reese's actually amaze and when she comes in as well. Just to show her how devious and conniving she is, when she goes on the pier with Ross and she knows Rachel's looking out the window, so she's looking at the back. That look she gives! And then she's like, you didn't even want to sleep with me?
What's wrong with you? It's that look she gives, I can't think of what any amaze. No, I'm just kidding. I really can't think of what I was just an amaze.
