| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Friends Through a Lens, the podcast where I talk to my real-life friends |
| 0:10.5 | about the show Friends Through a Lens of their choosing. |
| 0:14.3 | My name is Caroline and this year I'm spending Christmas in Tulsa. |
| 0:18.0 | And my favorite part was when Superman flew the Jews out of Egypt. It's |
| 0:21.6 | Eleus Bridger. Hi, best friend. There you are. Hi, best friend. Here I'm in Tulsa, which is an |
| 0:30.3 | anagram for Dublin this year. I tell you what, dude, to let everybody behind the scenes on some |
| 0:34.9 | movie magic of how I make this podcast. Almost every episode |
| 0:38.5 | of the podcast that you've heard of Friends Through a Lens so far was recorded in October and |
| 0:43.7 | November when I was preparing to leave to go live in Dublin to make the Rachel incident, the TV show |
| 0:50.8 | for Channel 4. Look it up. It's going to be great. It's going to be so good. And this episode, we're recording from, I'm recording it from like a |

| 1:36.7 | The lens of friends is they are our friends. |
| 1:40.4 | No, the lens of friends through which we will be looking at friends today is, I guess, Christmas and the holidays, which will be a nice lens, because we were initially going to do the feasts of friends. But I don't know. I couldn't quite be bothered. You know, the feasts are all at Christmas, apart from that one time they make the lasagna and Monica's nail goes off in it. I don't know. I just very, very tired. I wanted to talk |
| 2:00.8 | about like the twinkly bits and, you know, when they're all together or not altogether, because sometimes Chandler has to go to Tulsa and Caroline has to go to Dublin. And let me tell you, I am as bereft as Monica. We're all as bereft as Monica. It's really weird.
