Summary
This one where Knox and Jamie discuss the pilot episode of Friends.
In this episode, we journey back to 1994 and step into Central Perk for the debut episode of juggernaut Friends. Join us on the orange couch as we dissect if the episode and theme song hold up and examine why this sitcom became a cultural touchstone. Plus find out if Knox and Jamie think they're more of a Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, or Joey.
