The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant
S2 Episode 5. The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant. This episode starts with Tiana catching up with Natalie after she was gone last week, followed by Natalie's thoughts on this season's starting lineup of Love Island. Natalie gives her recommendation on a new show she's watching, The Bear, while Tiana recaps her recent new fav show, Stars on Mars. Next, they get into the episode recap and discuss whether or not Chandler is acting ethically when trying to score a date with a woman, followed by a lengthy conversation on the complicated dynamics involved when it comes to friends and money; they dissect these dynamics when it comes to group dinners, bachelorette trips, and nights out at the club. It wasn't a struggle when it came to choosing this week's Frenemy, but when it comes to this week's Best Friend, Natalie discusses her options before making her final choice.

As Monica continues to deal with the heartbreak from her breakup with Richard, Tiana and Natalie give their thoughts on whether they agree or disagree with Monica's decision to have a baby via sperm donor.

The One Where No One's Ready
44:37||Season 3, Ep. 2S3 Episode 2. The One Where No One's Ready. Join Tiana and Natalie as they talk about one of their favorite Friends episodes ever. Dare they say it's a perfect episode of television? They discuss whether or not they would have made Ross drink the fat, who was right in the Chandler vs. Joey argument, and why Monica dialing into Richard's answering machine is the common day equivalent to looking through your partner's phone. All in all, this episode is very demure, and very mindful.1. The One With the Princess Leia Fantasy

So much has changed since the last time they podcasted, so they wanted to catch up and give a preview of what's to come as they cover Season 3. First, Natalie gives a breakdown of what was happening in the year 1996 (which looked very similar to 2024 with the Olympics and an election year). Next, they run down each episode title and give a fast thumbs up or thumbs down on how good they think the episode is.24. The One With Barry and Mindy’s Wedding

45:27||Season 2, Ep. 22S2 Episode 22. The One With Two Parties. One of Tiana and Natalie's favorite episodes has arrived, but before they get into the recap, Natalie has a movie request for Tiana and she is not excited about it. Next, they get into the recent news around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce and the handshake heard around the world. They discuss the juxtaposing vibes of the two parties, how difficult surprise parties are to pull off, birthday flan, why the guy's party is so much better, and how Ross and Dr. Green's dynamic is pure delight. They highlight a subtle outfit decision all the characters made in celebration of Rachel's birthday, and how the actor playing Dr. Green almost did't take the part. Tiana and Natalie are on the same page in how this week's Best Friend won the episode with his awkward comedic genius.Hosts: Tiana Wasinger and Natalie NovotonyEmail: donttakemywind@gmail.comInstagram: @thepivotpod21.
