Will Friedle

And I do think that at this point, it really is a pattern worth noting that some of the weirdest scripts that are feel the worst toward women, um,

Have women's names on the front of them.

I had a conversation with him once and I don't remember how the question came up, but I, I asked something about, well, who wrote that episode?

And he went, well, I write every episode, but you mean whose name was on the front?

I know, literally never.

I know the episode did.

Well, we can talk about it now.

And let me let me jump into our guest stars.

Well, do we want to talk about our overall thoughts before we jump into our guest stars?

There's a resignation behind the commitment.

Yeah.

There are a lot of women that have said to me that this episode was the one that finally made them feel beautiful.

And it's the polar.

So it's always been weird for me as somebody who's refused to watch it all these years after doing it because of, like Will said, what was going on for me personally and internally, how much it hurt.

I didn't remember that there's a full, beautiful kind of storyline or arc to it and that it finishes up in a different place.

And when people would say that to me, like, oh, that is so sad that you have such a negative association to that episode.

Because for me, it's the thing that finally made me feel seen and accepted and beautiful.

And that, and like...

that there are different body types and, and like that mine was okay.

And that I was still going to, that I was still an attractive woman, even if I didn't look like other people on TV.
