The One With The 'Friends' Thanksgiving Episode - Ep. 4

It's a 'Friends' reunion! We are joined by Jeff Strauss's college buddy and for many years, his writing and producing partner, the award-winning Jeff Greenstein, the original "Other Jeff." In this week's episode, Strauss and Greenstein, who co-wrote the very first 'Friends' Thanksgiving episode, share never-before-revealed secrets behind "The One Where Underdog Gets Away." You'll hear the hilarious and horrible, real-life story from Strauss's life that inspired that much-loved, Emmy-nominated holiday tale. You'll also learn the surprising inspiration for Monica's need to keep everybody happy with potatoes. An exploration of Greenstein's childhood in suburban Atlanta and his comical "food-rules" lead to a discovery and a dare as Phelps and Strauss make Greenstein eat a food he has never tried before. What more could you want? A little eating, a little drinking, great stories from behind the scenes at one of the biggest hit TV shows ever — and a food called "Orange Carnage."
