Storyline

Joey is trying to solve a crossword in a soap opera magazine. Rachel is helping him to finish it, when Joey tells to their friends that he will be interviewed for an article about "Days of Our Lives". Everyone is very excited about it, but they're worried about Joey and his habit of saying the first thing that comes into his head. However, they promise to be near Joey during the interview, which takes place in the coffee house. There, Joey tells the reporter about his life, while we see some flash-backs of old episodes, and rediscover Joey's affection for "healthy" food, "exercise" and so on. But when Joey's about to say something wrong, everyone rushes in and stops him. Then Joey talks about his friends and who could be the best one.

User Reviews

Joey is going to have a second interview!

Joey tells the Friends that he refused to give a new interview because he was afraid of saying wrong things again, like the interview he did before. The Friends (specially Rachel) give Joey the support to make the interview, but Joey asks them to be near him to help him not say anything wrong or stupid again. The interview is in the Central Perk ( Joey didn't know that the magazine would pay the expenses) and almost everything goes well, with the exception of the end of it, when Joey says that he doesn't waste his time watching soap operas.

Ps: Rachel stays ridiculous saying ''gal pal Rachel Green'' all the time!
