Friends: The One In Vegas Part 1 and Part 2 (S5E23, S5E24)

Published: Jan. 19, 2021, 3 p.m.

This week we did one of my all-time favorite shows, Friends!!! I love this show, so well written, so funny, amazing cast, great jokes, very relatable, you know you can always relate to one of the friends. I relate to Chandler, he is my spirit animal, ha. Also, The One in Vegas was chosen and I grew up in Vegas, so there's that. I don't know about you, but this was a show I started watching in season 4, I actually had to hide the fact that I watched it, season 4 was when I was living in Vegas. I was hooked! "I take thee Rachel." That was talked about at school by students and teachers, more so the teachers. Side note, I did meet Lauren Tom (aka Julie) a couple of years ago, no one was asking questions in this panel for Men in Trees, so I said I have a dumb question, I said that I hadn't watched Men In Trees but I would try to find it to watch now (I still haven't), but I had to know what she thought Russ and Julie were up to these days. Everyone laughed, audience and the panel, so that was good. She let me know that she thought Russ and Julie were still together and had a lot of cats. After the panel was over, I did talk to her for a bit and got a selfie and she signed my copy of Friends, she was so kind and genuine. Anyway, enjoy this episode.
