It gives you a real sense of narrative purpose because like me and Gav, we're talking so much about like trying to manage our relationship now that we're in a long distance marriage effectively.

And I keep being like, and this is just the time when we do this.

And this is just our, you know, whatever, our act one break or whatever.

And he was like, you can't just think of everything in terms of stories.

And I was like, well, you're going to anyway.

Like every single person, they look back on their life and they see it in terms of like, oh, that was the tough time before the good time happened.

And that was the like this, the lonely time before I met this person.

Like we all think of our lives in terms of stories.

Lives are divided into chapters.

I mean, I love it, but I don't think the listeners will have heard it.

I would say people talk a lot about how Joey gets dumber.

But the thing is, even Joey's dumbness, I find very easy on the ear and the eye.

But I find the fact that Monica's erraticness gets more kind of neurotic and more competitive and more shrill.

I find it so hard.

It's why I actually watch...

Someone, when they just, her little fingers through the... Or their fingers through the kind of the pay...

slot in the cab is just so lovely.

Another, another thing about that episode I really love as well is like, I don't know why this is so dear to me, you know, in the closing credits where I think the whole plan was that they were going to hit up an outlet mall on the way back from seeing Phoebe's dad upstate and they were going to do all their Christmas shopping, but they were in the car too long and they couldn't do it.

So they just like bought everyone gifts from the gas station and it's like car air fresheners and condoms and stuff.

And there's something about that 45 seconds of like the credits playing over that while they give everyone their shitty presents.
