Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meet My Friends the Friends is a recap podcast hosted by Tom Scharpling of The Best Show fame. A labor of love, each episode recaps an episode of The '90s Sitcom Friends featuring different segments such as "Fun Friends Facts," "Rank the Friends," "This Day in Friends History," and much more.Except not really. In Meet My Friends, Tom really plays a fictionalized version of himself who is very defensive about jumping on the recap podcast bandwagon. Each episode is littered with technical incompetence, and the conversation is often derailed by on-again-off-again engineers Jason Gore and Pat Byrne, to Tom's never-ending irritation. Really, the whole thing serves as a big Take That! to cash-grabbing, fad-chasing podcasting, as all of Tom's own "sponsors" are purely fictional and often weirdly aggressive.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As of 2022, the podcast has recapped up through the fourth season of Friends, consisting of four seasons of its own.

Big Bad: Season three slowly reveals Don Strong to be a stern, iron-fisted podcasting tyrant who ropes his talent into ridiculously binding contracts, as well as physically abusing them if they flub any information on their show. Jason learns this the hard way.

Berserk Button: Bad-mouthing the show is a huge pressure point for Tom. He spends entire episodes distracted by bad reviews from AV Club.

Abusive Advertising: The ad copy is often super aggressive, with sponsors like "caviar.net" calling out their competition for selling "slimy fish eggs" and presenting an offer code that actually raises the price on an order instead of taking money off.
