Rachel encourages Joey to do the interview and mention her as the gal pal Rachel Green.
Joey prepares for an interview with Shelley, a journalist from Soap Opera Digest, but he's afraid that he will mess up his interview again like he did last time. So he enlists his friends to sit nearby and make sure that his interview goes well. Shelley is impressed that Joey chose the coffee house, since most stars picks a fancy restaurant when they find out that the magazine is paying for the interview.
Shelley asks if Joey can think of any work that he is particularly proud of: he remembers the time he played Freud in a musical. TV sales network for the milk carton opening gadget. The time he played an astronaut going to other systems in search for alternative fuels. The time he starred in porn as an extra. He says he has done so many things, that nothing stands out. What does he do in his spare time: learning to sail with Rachel. Holding his breath for 4 mins. Making a castle out of card-boards in his apartment. The time they got free porn in their apartment. He says he reads to blind kids and is a mentor How does he stay in great shape: The ball throwing game, hernia from lifting weights. The time when Rachel put beef into a custard, but Joey likes it. The time when the fridge broke and Joey had to eat everything in it. Eating cheesecake off the floor with Rachel and Chandler. He says he doesn't believe in crazy diets. He was on the show yrs ago and they killed him off, what happened there: As Joey starts to narrate what happened back then, his friends intervene.
The interview goes surprisingly well almost to the end. Phoebe tells Shelley that one doesn't expect someone so hot, to be so sweet. Shelley asks who is Joey's best friend. He remembers the time when he got Chandler a bracelet. The time when Rachel stayed at Joey's and spilled spaghetti on his carpet. Ross kisses Joey to help him prepare for an audition. When Joey peed on Monica after she was stung by a jelly fish. Is Joey gay? The time when Joey had the man's bag. When Ross climbed over Joey to drop down a fire escape. When Joey wore women's underwear. When Joey turns into a woman living with the hot dancer from Australia, Jeanine. The time when Ross and Joey had a nap on the couch. His romantic life: "How you Doin".. When Joey pretends he has a Porsche. When Joey hits on Rachel's sister Jill. When Jeanine is not attracted to Joey.
Unfortunately Joey slips up with his final question when he says he doesn't watch soaps because he has a life, and this can be considered disrespectful to the magazine readers.
A few weeks later when Ross and Rachel are reading the interview in Soap Opera Digest, the piece about not watching soap operas was not published. They ask Joey who says he called Shelley to tell her he was joking and she said it would be alright. When questioned by Monica, Joey admits to sleeping with his interviewer "a bit".
