FFAtoZ S5 Ep8 All The Thanksgivings 41:47

5M ago41:47

41:47

**Note that this episode was recorded before the untimely death of Matthew Perry** This is an easy favourite, with lots to love. There is also, though, a lot to forgive with several plot holes revealed through the discussion, but that doesn’t prevent this from being a classic. There’s surprise at Adele’s favourite joke, Friends-thru-a-lens makes an…

FFAtoZ S5 Ep7 Ross Moves In 35:57

10M ago35:57

35:57

There’s a surprise in store for Zoe with a very special Epidimerick. There’s a lot of debate about possible explanations for very curious behaviour from Rachel, Zoe learns a new social hack and an iconic hand gesture takes the conversation from sitcom to psychology.By Adele and Zoe

1y ago38:19

38:19

FFAtoZ S5 Ep5 The Kips 38:53

1y ago38:53

38:53

We're off to a racing start in this one with a cracking cold open and, despite it having a title that Zoe really (really!) doesn't like, it's jam packed full of fantastic laughs and stuff to discuss; Does Monica have the wrong idea of what a perfect weekend away should be like? Even though the weekend went a bit wrong, are they in a better situatio…

FFAtoZ S5 Ep4 Phoebe Hates PBS 36:29

1y ago36:29

36:29

Apologies to any US listeners who will cringe at our lack of knowledge about PBS, but hopefully that doesn't distract from the discussion too much! Adele wonders what the plan was for Emily if the actress hadn't got pregnant when she did (meaning Emily is not only written out but also filmed only from the neck up). Zoe on the other hand isn't sure …

1
FFAtoZ S5 Ep3 The One Hundredth 39:18

1+ y ago39:18

39:18

It's The One Hundredth and that's not the only landmark thing about this episode. Elsewhere, Zoe reveals an improvised moment by Lisa Kudrow that never made it to air (understandably, when you know what it is!), we discuss why a tiny bump in the road for Chandler and Monica is so significant and we marvel at how an actor can make repeatedly deliver…

2y ago44:54

Important turning points here when another Rachel and Ross chapter closes, Monica and Chandler's story develops and Phoebe's life is about to change.

FFAtoZ S5 Ep 1 After Ross Said Rachel 37:44

2+ y ago37:44

37:44

We’re back for Season Five and what an opening episode - the resolution to one of the greatest end-of-season cliffhangers in television history. So much here to discuss including of course the big question of just what it *did* mean that Ross said Rachel at his wedding, what to make of Emily’s reaction and just why it is that we’re so happy to ship…

E40: PMDD, Social Anxiety & Mental Health ft Jen Kay 40:38

A feature length episode to cover everything that happened in The Reunion... and there was a lot! The memories! The tears! The surprises! The special guests! The table reads! The unseen footage!

3y ago39:50

39:50

This episode is such an important one. I chat with Dr Zoe Hodson, GP and menopause specialist, all about testosterone and the gender bias we’re still facing as women!

Episode 36: Early Menopause at 14 years old ft Hayley Cockman 42:29

3+ y ago42:29

42:29

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with Hayley Cockman who at just 14 years old was told she’d gone through an early menopause, she started her periods at 12 like most young ladies do; then a year later they stopped. Night sweats were an awfully impacting symptom for Hayley and she recalls waking through the night dripping with sweat …

FFAtoZ S4 Eps 23 & 24 Ross' Wedding 1:06:43

3+ y ago1:06:43

1:06:43

Christmas is a time for giving and, to round off the year, we’ve got an extended episode to cover off both parts of Ross’ wedding and two episodes means two epidimericks! We break down why these episodes are so beloved, which celebrity cameo is the best, how our knowledge of what comes next for Monica and Chandler shapes our response to the big twi…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep22 TOW The Worst Best Man Ever 50:33

3+ y ago50:33

50:33

Two episodes (well, one and a half) for the price of one here because we’ve wrapped up TOW The Invitation with TOW The Worst Best Man Ever, because The Invitation has very little original content. However, this does mean we’re double-epidimericking! There is a brief but interesting discussion about the Invitation episode, including Zoe inventing th…

Episode 33: Learn this technique for a happier life! 15:23

3+ y ago15:23

15:23

In this episode I delve into and share with you a fabulous technique I use at times of overwhelm!

If you want to reach out with any questions or topics you’d like covered in …

FFAtoZ S4 Ep20 All The Wedding Dresses 39:49

3+ y ago39:49

39:49

It’s (another) one with the lockdown, which means we’re back on Zoom for our recording of this discussion (and the sound quality is a teeny bit affected by that). There’s a debate about whether the wedding dress storyline stands up to 2020 scrutiny and whether it retains its humour with multiple viewing. Questions are raised about what’s going on i…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep9 All The Haste 38:51

3+ y ago38:51

38:51

This episode’s easy to love for so many reasons: echoes of TOW The Embryos, Joey and Chandler solid bromance moments and significant storyline progress. Despite that, it does raise many question: Is Rachel counter-intuitively the reason why Ross proposes to Emily so quickly? How long does it take to pack up and move an entire apartment? And has Zoe…

1
Episode 32: Menstrual Cycles with Piritayoga 38:10

3+ y ago38:10

38:10

In this episode I have a brilliant chat with Pirita a Cycle Awareness and Yoga coach based in Australia.

You’ll find Pirita here https://Instagram.com/@piritayoga go ahead and give her a follow if you’d like more information on all things period…

FFAtoZ S4 Ep18 Rachel's New Dress 36:43

3+ y ago36:43

36:43

There is one standout storyline in this episode which is undeniably great for a number of different reasons. Beyond that, there’s plenty of debate about ‘that’ dress - not just the dress itself but several questions about the set up and the outcome of that storyline. Elsewhere, how do we feel about Ross’ paranoia 20 years on and why did no one have…

Episode 31: Menopause Matters with Dr Zoe Hodson - Lead Doctor Newson Health Manchester 55:17

Episode 30: Body Comparing = Body Dissatisfaction 25:07

4y ago25:07

25:07

In this episode we chat through body image, body positivity, neutrality and body confidence. How comparing ourselves to others is just not like-for-like in a world where our bodies and ourselves are unique and therefore not on a like-for-like playing field. I highlight some research around Body Dissatisfaction leading to eating disorders and where …

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep17 The Free Porn 35:07

4y ago35:07

35:07

Interesting trivia right off the bat with this one and its main storyline, which also leads to a mass debate trying to make sense of a group of friends sitting around watching this particular type of TV channel. What does this tell us about how TV has changed in the intervening years? Elsewhere, which is better, Relaxitaxi or Relaxicab? Is there a …

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep16 The Fake Party 39:39

4y ago39:39

39:39

This one might contain a fake party, but it’s the real deal when it comes to Friends episodes. There’s a lot of appreciation for the quick-fire funny lines and for Jennifer Aniston’s tour-de-force performance. There are also lots of questions to debate: why does the public at large not feel the same way about this episode? Just how many times has P…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep15 All The Rugby 39:52

4y ago39:52

39:52

There’s plenty to discuss about why this one gets the IMDB rating it has. Is it because 15 Yemen Road, Yemen is so iconic? Is it because Janice is back? Is it the shape-shifting accents that Emily’s rugby pals seem to have? In Friends Thru a Lens, we ask who would have thought that Toxic Masculinity would be so prolific in 22 minutes of television …

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep 14 Joey's Dirty Day 37:01

4y ago37:01

37:01

It’s fair to say this isn’t a favourite episode of Season 4 for Adele or Zoe or indeed the audience at large. That said, this is a really important one because we meet for the first time one of the most disruptive and memorable characters of all ten seasons. It does raise a number of questions though: why does Emily sound like she has a fake Britis…

1
Episode 29: Food Perception with The Fitness Chef, Graeme Tomlinson 50:14

4y ago50:14

50:14

In this episode I chat with Graeme Tomlinson, aka The Fitness Chef, all about how we (society) perceive food types, how the media plays a big role and we touch on household circumstance for food availability. As always I hope you enjoy this episode. You can find Graeme here https://instagram.com/thefitnesschef_ where you’ll get access to Graeme’s f…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep13 Rachel's Crush 43:53

4y ago43:53

43:53

Not the most popular episode of Season 4, but given the real life trivia around this one, there’s a great deal to discuss. There’s an in-depth exploration of Joshua’s background and a hypothesis that Joey might have unwittingly helped us understand the chemistry (or lack of) between him and Rachel. That’s not the only storyline that doesn’t really …

1
Episode 28: Food and Family Influences on our adult selves with Dan Osman 49:42

4y ago49:42

49:42

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with our first ever male guest, Dan Osman, where we chat about food and family, weighing kids at school and our own experiences growing up. Dan has over 15 years experience in performance nutrition and has worked with many people over that time. He’s a proud dad of 1 and also co-hosts his own podcast …

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep12 The Embryos 37:10

4y ago37:10

37:10

Is there such a thing as 22 perfect minutes of television? Not only do we think so, but, arguably, THIS IS IT! This is not just a good episode of Friends, this is one of if not THE best episodes of Friends ever made. All of the many (many) features that earn it this mantle are explored, but how can we possibly pick a favourite joke? Well we have to…

Episode 27: Communicating with our kids effectively with Cathy MacDonald (ex hostage negotiator) 55:12

4y ago55:12

55:12

In this episode I’m joined by Cathy MacDonald, ex police Scotland hostage negotiator and owner of The Art of Communication. Cathy and I chat through communication styles and she gives some guidance on dealing with outbursts, reading body language and how to take back control in those situations with youngsters and teens. Connect with Cathy here htt…

FFAtoZ S4 Ep11 Phoebe's Uterus 46:17

4y ago46:17

46:17

Another one where the rankings differ between the people at large and the hosts - this time totally inexplicably because this is a great episode! All three storylines are not just funny but play a role in raising issues into mainstream culture that were interesting and brave, so we get our Friends Thru A Lens all over that. There’s an interesting d…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep 10 The Girl From Poughkeepsie 36:38

4y ago36:38

36:38

There’s a lot packed in to this one with four storylines and three of them scoring big points for great jokes (one not so much). We wonder whether the title of this one might explain the difference between our rating and the one on IMdB and Zoe has an idea for how to improve the summaries for all the episodes. There’s a lot of admiration for a clas…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep9 Where They're Going To Party 38:26

4y ago38:26

38:26

There are very mixed feelings about where this one ranks amongst the episodes of Season Four but no such disagreement with another favourite joke snap. Zoe’s initial insight into Rachel’s promotion storyline is surprising to Adele to say the least. There is an epiphany about the choices made by the writers when Monica and Phoebe don’t get to see ou…

Episode 26: Overwhelm, Exhaustion, Anxiety and Self- Doubt getting to you? 19:28

4y ago19:28

19:28

In this episode I explain why I’ve taken time away from recording. Why I’ve learned ways of boosting my mood that are away from food; and I share a story with you that left me feeling both incredible and vulnerable. As always I love to hear from you so please reach out if you want to Adele@a-gamelifestyle.com or you’ll find me over at https://insta…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep8 Chandler In A Box 42:55

4y ago42:55

42:55

You may not expect a storyline with Chandler in a box to connect to mythology and ancient religious rituals but it does in Adele’s head. There might be only one hole in Chandler’s box but, one of the storylines has so many holes in its credibility that it’s blowing our tiny minds (even though we can forgive it because it’s very funny) and Friends T…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep7 Chandler Crosses The Line 38:14

4y ago38:14

38:14

A classic episode here, which means it’s fun to talk about and there’s loads to get your teeth into. Not only is this one choc full of great story and some iconic moments, but the discussion around Chandler, Joey and Kathy unearths a whole load of interesting debate about the deeper psychology of this storyline. Ross’ ‘sound’ is one of the most mem…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep6 The Dirty Girl 42:43

4y ago42:43

42:43

There’s no debate over whether this is a favourite or not, but there is significant debate over both Chandler’s endgame here and (not for the first time) some of the choices made around how Kathy’s character behaves. Zoe has some interesting trivia about the Dirty Girl herself (as well as her real life husband), the favourite joke snaps reach unpre…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep5 Joey's New Girlfriend 36:00

4y ago36:00

36:00

This is one of those episodes that’s scoring quite high but not from how many laughs it contains, more for the depth of character and narrative importance. There’s a lot of debate over exactly what Kathy is thinking and a lot of love for the ridiculous dating circumstances Rachel and Ross find themselves in. Phoebe’s storyline clocks up a possible …

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep4 Ballroom Dancing 37:44

4y ago37:44

37:44

**APOLOGIES** There was a sound error with the first upload of this so it is being posted again!! I'm "sorry" (as Joey would say!) We need the extra large machine for Friends Thru a Lens this episode as there are things in every storyline that don't quite feel right 23 years later, but there is one thing that was very insightful at the time and rem…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep3 The Cuffs 37:27

4y ago37:27

37:27

Cuffs, cleverness and quiches collide, Adele has a theory about strengths and flaws in all three. Zoe has her assumptions about who or what Milton Berle is thoroughly challenged and there are no fewer than three candidates for Friends Thru A Lens that show how much the world has changed since this episode first aired in the late 90s. Also, can we b…

1
FFAtoZ S4 Ep2 The Cat 40:13

4y ago40:13

40:13

This is a tough one to rate because of brilliant highs and not so brilliant lows, but there’s plenty of interesting discussion about it all. Chandler and Joey being robbed provides a Favourite Joke snap and Monica dating Chip provokes a debate about how much this storyline reflects today’s views on weight and self-worth. The storyline about the cat…

Episode 25: A mums view on raising girls with PT and mum of two Rachael Walker 55:26

FFAtoZ S4 Ep1 The One With The Jellyfish 45:21

4y ago45:21

45:21

We were on a break! No, we really were… that break was officially for Zoe to have her baby, but little did we know a global pandemic would arrive shortly after, meaning that the sound will be a *bit* affected as we’re recording remotely. We’re off with a bang though with a universally loved episode that's got strong Rank Bank potential. Popularity …

In this episode Dr Rosie Tarbuck joins us to share her front line experience and learnings from her front line role during this time. Rosie is strong, vulnerable, dedicated, selfless and through all of this; she’s helping keep her fellow NHS colleagues mentally and physically well with sharing her knowledge and passion for weight lifting and nutrit…
