Rebecca's 'Grind' and the Flay Hat Empire

Rebecca describes her 'grind' in NYC despite her father being the President of NBC, and pivots to promoting her nonsensical hat line featuring made-up languages like 'Gongy Pong'.

"I should disclose, my father was the president of NBC for about two decades."

"I was sweating my ass off in coffee shops, not working them, but getting coffee at them."

"Gongy Pong is a combination of a German word, a French word, a Japanese word, and a Canadian French word."

The 15-Year Reunion Math Problem

The cast struggles to calculate how long they have been apart, repeatedly insisting it has been 15 years despite the show ending only 8 years prior in 2013.

"So not exactly 15, but we're getting close."

"More like eight, but we're getting close."

"Sometimes eight feels like 15 if we're really compounding all the times that we haven't talked to each other."
