Friends has to be one of the greatest shows of all time.
Even though Friends has been finished for more than ten years we still could watch any episode today. Luckily they’re on Comedy Central every day so you can binge watch whenever you want.
While the world longs for a reunion still, we’ve heard plenty of theories and ideas about past episodes and this theory certainly is up there in terms of craziness.
Reddit user lolalodge has supplied the internet with her own theory about the strange behaviours of Monica and Joey.
According to this fan, Monica and Joey are drug addicts, with Monica reportedly using cocaine and Joey using marijuana.
“Alright, so Monica is a restaurant chef, usually a Sous Chef or even head chef most of the time in some rather high end restaurants in NYC.
First, most people that work in the restaurant industry tend to gravitate towards some sort of substance since the job is very high stress.
But that’s not even my reasoning. See, head chefs and sous chefs in high end restaurants in NYC tend to get paid a lot, like $50-$100 dollars an hour a lot.
Monica also lives in a rent controlled apartment that she illegally sublets from her dead grandmother, she even has a roommate to share the bills with. She doesn’t own an obscene amount of clothes or anything, doesn’t go out to bars regularly, so where exactly does her money go?”
The theory does kinda explain why Monica was so protective of her closet to be fair…
“Cocaine, which she stashes in the closet by the big windows, which is why when Chandler opens it in the last season, she flips out because she doesn’t want him to find her cocaine stash.
It also explains why Monica is so high energy and high strung.”
While Monica was reportedly using cocaine for energy, Joey’s lethargy is explained by his use of marijuana.
“As for Joey, Joey pretty much smokes weed all day. That’s why he’s always hungry, can eat a ton of food and is constantly napping and is kind of spaced out and a lot of what other people say goes “whoosh” right over his head.”
Do you think there could be any truth behind the theories?
We could only imagine his rage at finding out Monica’s secret habit…
