From the outside, the house isn’t terribly different from others on the block: a cozy bungalow in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood with an old lilac tree blooming near the entrance. In fact, it’s legendary: the place where a prodigal teenager and her older brother recorded the album that made Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell the queen of Gen-Z pop.  It’s a location familiar to any Eilish fan, and at first glance on an absurdly beautiful day in April, not much appears to have changed about the house in the couple of years since it became famous, along with its teenage occupant.

On The Late Late Show With James Corden Wednesday night, it was the one where the cast of Friends joined Corden for Carpool Karaoke. However, in this case, it was Golf Cart Karaoke as our favorite friends hitched a ride with the late night host on the Warner Brothers studio backlot while filming the highly anticipated Friends reunion, which began streaming on HBO Max May 27. After singing the classic Friends theme song, Corden ended up at the soundstage that held the sets from the show, where he got to experience every fan's dream – grabbing some coffee with the cast at the Central Perk cafe. There, Matt LeBlanc reminisced about some of the funniest moments on set. "We spent a lot of time in these sets, had a lot of laughs.
