Other Info:
• Rachel told her friends last week that she even does her own laundry, whereas this week she confesses to being a "laundry virgin." This is due to the 2 episodes airing out of production order.
• Monica says Ross never told her when he lost his virginity, but last week, she even knew the exact date. Again, the episodes aired out of production order.
• Monica tells a story about the Thanksgiving parade Underdog balloon getting away, something that doesn't actually happen for another month or so.
• This episode runs 23:37 on DVD (a typical sitcom runs about 22:00).
