Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
How close to was? I?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Come on?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
That was really good. I remember that because we'd be
heading back to work usually to shoot the show, and
we both would have just had our birthdays.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I remember that. Mm hmm okay, So what are
we discovering in this episode? We're going to talk secret tattoos?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, keeping secret, face tattoos.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
What are we going to talk about in the show?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Keeping secret? It's mm hmmm, something I'm very good at. Yes,
face tattoos, something I'm not very quick. And surprise birthday
parties actually my whole wheelhouse?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Wait are you do you throw?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
For real? I'm really good at surprise birthdays.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Really.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, we'll get to that later, but all right.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
In this episode, Jess's dad, Bob, played by the Magnificent
The King. He comes into town for CC's wedding and
Jess begs Nick not to tell him that they are
hooking up. Speaking of hooking up, things are getting quite
steamy between Schmidt and Elizabeth, but he isn't sure where
it's going. Although while Winston is convinced that the loftmates

(01:42):
are throwing him a surprise birthday party and keeping him
in the dark about it, it is so sweet, but damn.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn damn.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Winston's disappointed, and so am I.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I just want to say something. We're gonna get there.
But one of my favorite laugh out at moments just
reminded me of the we said damn is this meet me,
meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me,
meet wahen Rob Reiner talks.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
About how to build this. Yeah, meet meet me, meet me,
let us, meet me me me me me me me
me me me me me meat let us cracked me
up so much.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I was like, that sounds delicious actually.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Speaking of speaking of meat Rob Reiner was uh, I
want to say, best known, but he was known back
in the day from being on the show all in
the family where his his his father on the show
or step father.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Father, and was his father his father in law, Archie Bunker.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Archie Bunker would call him meathead all the time, but
always called meathead. I thought that I was being clever
and a scene. There's a scene that we'll get to later,
but the scene where a very memorable moment where I'm
eating the cake and he goes, are you sure you
want to eat that with that body? And then I
take the fork and I throw it down. Yeah, I used,

(03:00):
there's nothing scripted. At one point, I call him a
meathead and I go away. He was not amused. Not
only was he not amused, he decided to come up
to me and ask me if I thought that was
the first time he's ever heard that.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
He's not. I was so like.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Hurt because I thought I saw that. I thought I
was being clever. I just thought, like, he probably hasn't
heard that in a while.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Oh sure, you know what I mean, Like, it's that show.
Wasn't the seventies, eighties like that? Early eighties and seventies
a long time ago. I was like, there's no way,
There's no way, especially with this generation. They probably never
saw the show. Thought it'd be a deep cut.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
He was not having him different kind of deep cut.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Different kind of deep cut. So let us go to break.
But when we come back, I want to talk about
I want to dive right into this episode. It's a
good one directed by Max Winkler, written by Brett Bear
and Dave Face. That doesn't count. Come on, it does
not count.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It just makes me happy when I hear the word.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
When we come back, I'm gonna look completely different. I'm
not gonna have this hat on. I just want to
I just want to switch things up a little bit. Okay,
I'm gonna have on a different hat. Let's go to
break watch this.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Did you notice anything?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Delete?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
All right?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
So, oh what a sweet beginning to this episode. He's
like watching her sleep and he goes fantastical and then
checks her pulse because she's sleeping so.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Deeply, so still that he checks her pulse.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, and she's like, are you checking my pulse? Also
felt a little I don't know if that was in
the script. It felt like they could be improvised. Probably
it's a Jake Johnson thing to be like how many
takes redoing this and me saying fantastico and then he
just starts doing silly stuff. That's what it felt like
to me.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
But you're right, very very sweet moment.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
So she puts out a pretzel, right, pretzel in the bed.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
My favorite part though about this moment was was when
he decides to be like a good guy and going
and he wants to go be romantic and make her
breakfast wet eggs.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Man, those eggs were so wrong.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
I laughed my ass off.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I was like, he just pours them out like a
glass of curdled milk.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
And I was like, why disgusting?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know that winston ate them. Yeah, that's the funniest part.
He was just like it's fine, for sure, But also
the dessert part, and he's got a little vase of flowers.
He's like, just takes the one, puts it in a beer.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Classic Nick Miller's the thought that counts.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
There was a lot of thought.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
He couldn't even get a grapefruit right to make it
look this is just intentionally bad.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah he's a big baby. Oh yeah, he's a big baby.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
But as he's walking to give her the breakfast, yeah,
guess who walks in Robbie Rob. Robbie Rob. Now it's
odd and it's tricky, and it's troublesome for Nick because
he was literally just making love to this man's daughter.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
And I was trying to do like a sweet thing
to show like, oh, like we're here, this is the morning.
I still got you. I think you're great, wonderful, and
then bumps into I mean, it's the living nightmare to
just bump into the dad when you're trying to sort
out what this is, and then your character just turns
into Tom Hanks's soccer.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Ball Wilson, volleyball Wilson Wilson. I'm like, guys, it's Winston.
You know it's Winston. Justin Long would call me, didn't
he do that? Guns linger?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
He called me Wimbledon Wilson.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Sports references a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, I mean, look, okay, look at the muscles, bicep, tricep,
all in one flex. Okay, but Winston runs into him
and he which is great for Nick because he can say, oh,
I was making this for Winston, and he goes for
my birthday.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. I also like how Rob Brighter calls it girl food.
Looks like girl food. Yeah, so then you get to announce, yeah,
it's for my birthday. Nobody knows what the hell you
were talking about.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, nobody knows, no.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
But you got excited. You thought you got a birthday breakfast.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, you think so.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's sweet.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But he was even a little little skeptical in that moment. Yeah,
he was like, mmm, and.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
We're gearing up. This is the penultimate episode, so we're
gearing up for the big finale for CC's.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Wedding, which is why he's in town.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Which is why he's in town. So they're doing all
this prep work, which is also like a fun like
motivator for so many storylines in this episode.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Speaking of which Schmidt, Schmidt and Elizabeth they are getting
after it.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Oh my gosh. I don't know why. Maybe because I
lived in la in an apartment where I had my
neighbor on the other side of the wall. There's sweet
moments talking back and forth and then them banging on
the wall. So made me laugh. I remember, I don't

(08:30):
know what episode of New Girl it was, but it
was one that I was like, Oh, I wonder how
people are going to receive it. I don't remember what
it was, but I remember through my wall being able
to hear my neighbors watch it, and I could hear
when they laugh.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh wow, it's working out.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You were very frugal because.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I didn't build the walls, just they were in that.
That was the way the apartment was. You were there,
You've been to that apartment, you know it.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, but I'm talking the moment I booked New Girl.
Wan imagine, I mean you you you did.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Go out and spend a few dollars. The moment you
booked New Girl, We're like, what are you showing up
in a Ferrari with four rolex?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I didn't know how maney, we haven't got the first
check yet. I instantly regretted it.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, we were just like, we were like, what are
you doing? Return all of it?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Ain't like no, I was like, but have you seen
your paychecks?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Have you seen the first check yet? Return it all?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Credit card?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh? No, I tried to buy a jet.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
You do so many things like what is happening? Somebody
talked to him.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, ignorance, ignorance, ignorance, ignorance. I paid pay the ultimate
price for that. It's hard to sell a jet. You know.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I was in that apartment for years. I know years
I stayed in that little apartment.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well you also also fun fact about Hannah. Yeah, she
stayed in that little apartment because she was never in town.
Hannah was always in another country, that's right, Always in
another country, that's right. So yeah, you didn't have been
ignorant to move when you're never there anyway.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Well, I don't know that moment with the guy that
was living in my shed in my parking spot. I
should have at some point been like, maybe we'll move. Yeah,
that's on you what I'm shouting at my neighbor through
the wall. Glad you like the scene. I was like,
maybe maybe it's time.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did you ever meet those neighbors that knew they were
watching your show? You know?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Actually who would turn out to be was Katie Stole.
Do you remember my dear friend Katie Still. She also
has an amazing podcast by the way, Really Katie, you
met her a million times over the neighbor. The one
that I related to the on this with the shot
Bernie was there was a neighbor downstairs who advertised himself
as a Craigslist headshot photographer. So you know when that

(10:48):
bus rolls into town, prettiest girl from Wichita and you're like,
I need a new headshot, you'd look up this dude.
It was busy downstairs. Let me just sit Oh you
could hear. And I've told you this story because I
remember coming decided to tell you this story. Yeah you
know what I'm gonna say. I remember sitting in sitting

(11:12):
there in bed, I was like reading a book, glasses
on hair tight, my jam He's very Jessica day in
my life. And all of a sudden I hear them
going at it downstairs, and I'm just like, wow, this
was And then it was like a swinging from the
chandeliers like she was definitely doing some theatrics. None of
it felt real. And then all of a sudden I

(11:32):
hadn't heard him. It was just all of her performance.
And then all of a sudden I heard him say
and I was like, oh no, I gotta move now.
I can never look you in the eye. Walz did
the floorboards.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
You walk out, He's doing like this to you.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
He gets in his car and just uses his little
feet and just.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Fred your friends off.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Anyway, it made me laugh so hard because I just
could relate to that moment so much where they're trying
to have this meaningful moment Schmid and Elizabeth and the
way it's the best when Max does that angry yell.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
And then my favorite, too, is when they go flash
back to the college party of how they met they
danced together, which is Chef's kiss so good, yeah, so
good now, she which I found to be really funny.
She asked him if the weight loss, uh may lose
weight in his penis and he goes, it's slightly smaller.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Nobody can explain.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Now Jes tells Nick that her dad could never find
out about them hooking up.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's a very odd thing that she even has to
tell him that. That was the part. I was like,
what no man's father. And let's like, unless you're about
to propose, unless you got a ring and you're about
to ask for a blessing, don't need the update man, right,
why would she even have to tell you a grown man?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Grown man? And apparently she did have to tell him,
because ultimately he did. But prior to that, you could
see he's trying not to be You can see he's
trying not to uh be stuck alone with him.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's right. He tried documents. Was very funny.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh my god. He goes, what did what did? Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
He said stuff? He said, what kind of stuff? You got?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
No stuff? That what?

Speaker 1 (13:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
When he says, I didn't gave my way out of
Vietnam just to get killed by some punk. But he's
trying to explain to her why he doesn't want to
sit sit in her car and wait at her school.
He's starts to see some punk. I didn't gave my
way out of Vietnam, just like.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I heard it as game my way. But now that
you said what it is, it makes a lot more sense.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's what he said, right, I didn't gave my way
out of Vietnam.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I can see it, especially if it was Brett Day
writing this episode. Yeah for sure.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
And so Jess gets a call. She is called to school.
She's going to get an opportunity to teach with kids again.
She's gotta go. It's like her dream. But she is
now in a real conundrum because if it's one thing
we all know about Nick Miller is the man can't
keep a secret.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
You can't hold water. It literally comes out of his back.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
He sweats, sweaty back, well, sweat back.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I remember Joey, Remember Joey having to pour water down
his back to make it look like he was sweating.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
He was in even they were in a heaven. Joey.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh my gosh, yeah, Joey pearlt that'd be great, be
so happy.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
He's the best Joey.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
So she goes to the school, but these kids, these
kids ain't ain't ain't normal, the worst kids I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
When the kid comes over at the end, it offers
the cigarettes and he's got a car. It was a
beautiful kid. I was just like, what is happening, yo?
Mad disrespect to these substitute teachers.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I just felt like Samuel Jackson should have been a
teacher those kids in one of those old movies where
he tries to make a difference in these badass kids.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Because though Michelle Pfeiffer, come on, been spending most all love.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Dealing with these bad ass kids to that, yeah, yeah,
so that she goes there, the kids are having an issue.
She's having an issue with the kids. But meanwhile, back
at home, Nick is Dick is doing too much. He's
doing the most, He's doing the absolute most.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
But I mean Dad is also putting the heat on
him to like, you know that he wants a little
hot Guss tell me about the ladies, And so he
tries to talk about it without not talking about it,
to kind of test the waters. Yeah, and he kind
of gets taken down a garden path.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes not fully his fault, No, it's not. Honestly, it
felt it felt like a good moment to say, hey,
you know, I'm inside of your daughter.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
It was so wild. I was like, if he's having
a normal dad reaction, how did you think this is
gonna go any other way?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know what's interesting, I always have having a child.
She's only three and a half. But I imagine that
if she was in her thirties, at some point in
her twenties, I would have had to have gotten over it,
meaning forced yourself, because.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
People are adults, and you really think you would get
over amman saying I banged your daughter last night, But.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
He didn't say I banged your dar last night.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
I slept with her last night.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
So my point is the blow up mattress makes sense. Well,
I would be like that.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Too, not if she's in her thirties.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Really, it's I gonna be in the house when it happens.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I'm not staying over once I get there and I
realized she out here. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Now that's a dramatic though. Now to be like I'm
gonna go see a hotel that means you're not over it.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, I don't have to. My point is, My point
is I don't have to express it.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
You gotta just know go say, I'll repress, suppress.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Here's the thing. My daughter gets married, right she walks
down the aisle. I'm not gonna be thrilled about him.
I know what's happening tonight.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Sure, but they're married.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
But I gotta act like take he's gonna be like,
I'm gonna take care of that ass. All right, I'm
gonna kill that man. So I'm just gonna get it
out of my head.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay, you make that You're just like laying this runway
for you. Now she's three. I know, are you gonna
cope at the wedding to not beat this man that
he's gonna find your daughter tracked of? This is this
conversation right now. I feel like God left for you
real quick.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Dudes are disgusting. I want my daughter to be lesbian.
I'm serious. I just you know what men are.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
You're not wrong, horrible, Sure, I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Please speaking of your own kind, please, man, met no horrible,
not me, not me. Great guy, one of the best,
one of the best guys, one of the best, which
is which is which was interesting too because we're fast
forwarding a little bit. When he when they do have

(18:09):
the conversation. Essentially, Bob is saying to him that, you know,
he's like, why not, why not Wilson, why not this person.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Anyone but you?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Because he reminds him of himself.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
If your daughter ended up with someone that, you're like,
holy smokes, that's just me at twenty nine years old.
Would that scare you more?

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah? When I was twenty nine, when I was charming. Yeah,
you know what I mean, I was a man of
the people. You know what I mean? Uh huh Yeah,
A sea of women.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Every night, A lot of people.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, you know, a lot of a lot of paid
gigs I would go. I would show up to. Yeah,
I'd get paid. I would show up. I just I
was happy you finished the No, I wouldn't pay them
they I just was.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I was just happy you finished the sentence.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah. Yeah, they would pay me for love making. Oh God,
remember Deduce Bigelow. That was me.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It was a biopic based on the real life.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Now Jess is like CEC's freaking out.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Meanwhile, Cecy's freaking out. The next day is her wedding day.
She has to get she is to get her wedding Sorry,
she has to get Hannah a whole bunch of things
that having her best friend has gone a wall. She
is stressed the family's taking over the space. She can't
hear herself think. I loved the wardrobe fittings for this episode.

(19:39):
I got to wear some really cool sorries. I never
worn a sorry before in my life. It was the
first time. I remember them leaving it in my trailer
and I was like, hunt, like you dress. I'm like,
who's gonna what do you mean in my dress? It's
just there's like pins and like wrapping and then like folding.
There's a whole thing. I have never worn a sorrow.
How am I supposed to know? They just a sap

(20:04):
about many times things were assumed about it. You should
be trying to wrap the story around you. I was like, ah,
never in my life. But it was really really fun
to wear and really fun to put on. And it
was actually fun to be in a room full of
Indian people all there because representation matters, and it was

(20:24):
cool to get everybody hired. That was a fun feeling.
I do remember the hennaed moment.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Have you ever done that in real life? Gotten?

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Hennah?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:35):
How long does it take to get up.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Until it fades like you can't get it off. And
I remember when we shot the scene where you know,
I wake up, I see it and it was like
a nice little imprint, and I was like, okay, this
is this is fine. And then when Jess comes and
she's like, it's okay, and she kind of goes to
clean my face with like the olive oil, and this

(21:01):
was still I feel like I was still a little
bit nervous on New Girl, and I it's just I
don't know the fact of it. I was like, I
didn't want to look ugly, and they just kept makeup,
just kept like smearing more and more and more to
sell the Mandy Patinkin joke at the end of the
episode that Sathia says, Chavrun says, and I remember just

(21:23):
being like, oh god, and it was like a genuine
feeling of embarrassment that I had a full beard. And
then it's one of my favorite jokes where then Jess
goes Burke is not you guys right?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
My favorite though, is uh, just tells Nick, I mean,
just tells Winston to help you out. What does he
bring it to your house? Sorry the wedding. Sorry he's
bringing that to you to your apartment. But when he
gets there, he's dressed in this orange Murphy raw it's red.

(22:02):
I think it was orange. It was orange. It was
very delirious. I guess it was yeah, delirious. I think
he was wearing red. I want to say, yeah, I forget,
but he but it's very much so Eddie Murphy inspired. Yeah,
and I still own that.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh you take it from set? Does it fit still?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Hell? No? I think I might have worn it too
for Halloween one year.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's a good one.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, I love that. I love that suit. He shows
up and he's like thinking, He's like, oh, you want
me to go and drop off? Sorry? Because again he
still thinks everyone's trying to plan him a surprise.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I mean the episode is called Winston's Birthday. Yeah, he
just thinks it's gonna pop around some corner at some point.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Even when I was reading it, is this, I kept thinking, like, Oh,
it's gonna be a big surprise. Is yes, no boiler,
It's not about you, not at all. Really quick, Hannah,
we're gonna go to break. But before we go to break,

(23:05):
did you find the.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Bear is a California s teeth flag has a bear.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It's a school. I don't think we actually see the
bear though we see that it's a flag, but I'm
not sure if we see the bear.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
The bears always there. That's my whole premise for this segment.
Always there.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Okay, you know what, you know what I'm gonna give you.
I'm gonna give you that. I'm gonna give you that one.
I am going to go back though and watch it again,
and if it's not there next episode, I will redact.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Big black sharpy take it back.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Okay, so listen, we're back.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
And so a brutal moment happens in this episode that
I really did cringe and I was like, man, this
is when they start to really go left a little
bit with Schmid.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
For me.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh yeah, when Elizabeth being sweet wear's the shirt that
they first met in and he pretends that he doesn't
know her. Yeah, that is ruthless, man, it's such a

(24:23):
it's ruthless.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah. That one's hard to explain because it's it's like, dude,
you you just expressed how much you're into it, yeah,
and immediately you're like, I don't know her because.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Of her shirt. I mean, well, I think it was
all of it. It was just like this whole, you know,
like it was just her and it was just so horrible. Yeah,
And I feel like fans will say, like it's Schmidt
became a little problematic. Oh yeah, the way he was
dealing with it, the way even the way it was
just written, was just like, oh, it was a struggle

(24:56):
and like, you know, love to Max Greenfield because I
feel like it was anybody else, Yeah, you would just
be like in villain territory forever.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was a hard moment to watch it.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I don't like it because you know, you're an actor
and you have to play it.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Sure, but you're like m but he manages to play
those moments like he is a real idiot without malice.
Does that make sense? But I think that's the only
saving grace of it, Yeah, is that he's just an
idiot in that moment.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's ignorance, is what it is. Yeah, you know what
I mean, because you can forgive someone for literally not
knowing their behaviors.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I did not like the fact that she danced with
him at the end. I will say that him showing
up him like eating crow, him wearing the sweater, him
doing the thing I think he should have danced alone
and she should have gave him a smile. That's just
me a my pettiness.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, I could tell you why she did it. She
knew the guy she was on a date with. What God,
I mean, you look like a serial.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Killer, serial killer and like, but you would kill you
just by boring you to death, Like that was his
way of killing you.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
And she knew Schmidt thinner penis and all was still
gonna be bad pis. Yeah, yes, she knew he was
gonna be better than her current situation.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
I know, but she's need to dance. That man still
had to grobble a little bit.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, well, we got to push the story ahead, somehow
push the story. But I'm glad they did it because
it was such a funny, a funny scene. Now where
are we at? Now we are back at Oh, you
know it's so funny in that moment when he goes
and speaks to the I love this line when he
looks to the band j.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Peta perfect just perfect.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Gosh. Acting is about choices, and no one makes choices
quite like Maxic. Okay, so now Bob is in the
middle of the floor, he's he decides that he's going
to sleep in between them, right, He's.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Like, you know, the blow up madges him just huffing
and puffing, trying to blow up the whole blow up mattress.
And he has that moment where he's like, I am
your father, Like I'm never gonna.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Stop worrying about you exactly.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
This is how it's just gonna be so fine. You
can make your messy choices, you can do all of this,
but you can't ask me to not worry. Another beautiful,
like heartfelt moment of New Girl where you're like, all right,
rob Ryiner lay down on the floor and then pass
out like a dad that could be easily stepped over.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm like, I mean she walked out of the room
and then closed her door and the door made a
sh that moment too.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I was like, why did you close the door? That's
the most risky part of this whole situation. Woke up
just like not even like you know, when you close
the door trying to be quiet, where you do like
the slow thing you put the hand as the counter
pressure and.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
You turn the knob all the way, all the way.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I mean, that's a ten minutes to release.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
When people don't do that in the movies. I go,
the director must have told them to speed it up.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
That's right, because then you have to take like a
breath makes you got away with it.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Now we're to a walk upstairs to the roof.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
For sure, and the fact that she was like slam walk,
It was just like time. We just spend so much
time on the on the hennah situation.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, we need to make sure.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
You got to get the scroll up to the roof.
You got to get past the sleeping dad, close the
door and wait.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
So he so Nick sends her a text message says
meet me on the roof. She goes on the roof,
She loudly goes up to the roof and uh, up
there she discovers the breakfast that he was gonna make her,
which is so sweet.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, breakfast for dinner.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
But then who comes to ruin their their parade? Everybody
Schmidt Elizabeth. They go up there with a telescope. They're
gonna go and do some romantic star gazing. Yeah, now
this one through me because I'm like, what the fuck
is Winston doing up there? Just like like, oh, he
may as well get the gang o here. And Winston

(28:52):
goes up and he's like, you threw me a surprise party.
He let it go instance, and finally he gets the party.
They just humor that man, he gets the party, shitty party,
you know. Indeed, he's like, can I.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Get the telescopes? It's my telescope. You can't take the
TA a golden telescope.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Like you know what's funny about that is that every
time I found myself in that situation a lot of
times on this show A couples, couples, couples, couples by myself.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Winston, I was like, man, they couldn't like.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
You couldn't even showed up bout the house. I don't
feel like I was always I was always like odd
one fucking up somebody's romance.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It's a very good, though, penultimate episode, because you sit
there and you go like, oh, Nick and Jesser, like, yeah,
they're doing great. Schmid and Elizabeth have made up. And
you see that sweet moment on the couch with CC
and Schiffrung and he's just like, it's okay with the
beard I got you, Like, everything is like cooled, all
the relationships, but you know the finale's coming, yeah, and

(29:55):
you know they're gonna have to do some cliffhanger and
you know it just can't be now Nick and Jess
forever everything is great, and you deep down know it's
not going to be Schmidt and Elizabeth and it's not
going to be Cc and Chivern. So it's like, what
is the deal? And Whenson's gonna get a cat? Yeah
that's howl yet damn, just what a great episode, so funny.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, we're gonna go to break and when we come back, Uh,
you know what we like to do. We like to
mess around with each other.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
We like to mess up around.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
And we're back. I noticed that one I said mess
around with each other. Not like that, guys, No knock
that all the way out. I mean, not the time.
But I don't have the desire to no desire. Also,
no time, no time. That's that's true, babe.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah, babe.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
What do you do if you're a parent or parents
aren't a fan of your significant other? How do you
navigate those murky waters?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Stand on your choice, man, stand on your choice, and
if not, uh my bye.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Mm interesting to you to your parents?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
I think Look, I think you have to be at
a certain point where introducing to your parents, I think
it's wild when people are like, we have it on
two dates and they met my parents, and I'm like,
you guys are inviting a lot of opinions. So until
you're really sure, don't involve other people. It's kind of
like a baby name. Don't tell people what you're gonna
name your baby unless you want their thoughts. Don't bring

(31:36):
in this strange man and be like, this is who
I'm spending my special time with unless you want to
hear everyone's thoughts.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, for me, I let my mom choose. I'm going Magrange.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
You're back in. You're gonna be on that Netflix show
for sure. Be like, just give me a nice Indian lady.
You pick her. I'll show up on the day.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
You know who you are.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, Hannah can't wrap the Sorry, It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, I don't apologize. Let's see Surprise birthdays. Are you
a fan of them? You ever had one?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I feel like I must have had them. But I
love throwing them.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
You love throwing them.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I feel like you were there at the most epic
surprise party I ever threw, which was for my brother's thirtieth.
Do you remember this? So for my brother's thirtieth, I
am there's a restaurant up on like Third and Fairfax. No,
but we did end up there, of course, and there

(32:42):
he had like a little private room, a little Italian restaurant,
and so I had like my parents came down and
all his friends were there, and I just said to
my brother, Hey, a bunch of people are gonna come
over to the house and we're gonna hang out, and
we just have to go pick up the pizzas. You
want to go for a walk and get your pizzas.
And he was like all right. So we walked to
the place and then I go, oh, apparently have to
pick him up in the back, and we go and
open the door and it was everybody was there, had

(33:04):
this incredible like surprise birthday. It was so funny. He
was genuinely surprised. You couldn't believe it. It was like
such a huge thing. And then everybody said goodbye and
left after this like two and a half hour dinner.
It was super, super fun. And what they did is
they ran all the way down the road to I
think it's called Carma Lita, this Italian Italian and ice

(33:24):
cream shop that was on Third Street. And the ice
cream shop if you went through the ice cream shop.
Behind the freezers, there was a door you could push
and they had a room back there that had like
a photo booth and like, yeah, it's small, but it
was like this cool, secret, little kind of speakeasy style
kind of room, and so I had rented that out
and so everybody went there. So after the birthday party

(33:46):
was like this is so great and wonderful, like I
made it seem like it was like something wrong with
the bill in my card. And then I was like, okay,
let's walk home. And so we went to walk home
and I was like, let's guess some ice cream is
your birthday and he was like all right, and so
we went in and then I was like played the
girl card because I was like, I go to the bathroom.
I was like, I don't know. I was like, it's weird,
it's late. I was like, would you just like come
on like sandals at the door, just because I feel

(34:07):
a little weird. And he was like all right, cool brother,
and he was like walks back, and I pushed the
door and inside everybody shouts surprise again and then we
have this. It was the most fun. We had ice
cream and drinks and like a DJ and it was
super super super super.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Fun'll be so funny, parties will be so funny. Is
at the end of that, he goes, when do I
get the pizza?

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I was promised pizza. These people came popping up, but
I got him twice in one night.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
That's epic. I never I've never heard that before.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
It was really good. I couldn't believe him, and I
was so The problem is I couldn't enjoy the dinner
because the whole time I was just so anxious, and
then people were like loitering at the end of dinner.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I was like, but you also, you're a problem anxious
because you realized you didn't invite me.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Are we gonna have an Ellen de generous to Coda
Johnson moment, just.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Saying I don't remember getting this invite. I don't remember
a pizza.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Parties were invited. You know what, I think you probably
didn't show up.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
