Speaker 1 (02:45):
Today is a big episode, A big one.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Pretty pretty big one. This episode is episode three oh three,
Double Date, Double Day, directed by Max Winkler, written by
Love Rocket fun Fact and Love hates when I tell
the story because I've told in a million times. I
don't know why I keep telling it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You love the story.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He once took a shit in front of my house.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You brought him on the podcast. He's like one of
the most prolific writers on our show. And half of
that episode where we had levonn was you talking about
that moment?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You got to take greatness and not get down a
peg because you don't want him to get too big
for his britches. You know what I mean? People know
him as a great writer. I know him as a
shit taker.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
All right, tell us what happens in this episode. Let's
go okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So in this episode, Jess and Nick propose that they
go on a double date with Schmidt and Ceci. They
agree to let Winston fifth Wheel after he lets them
know he can get a reservation at the exclusive restaurant Pika,
which was on Pico by the way. Piko bulevards yes,
but after confessing to Nick that he is still dating
both Ceci and Elizabeth, Jess Warren Schmidt that if he
(03:59):
doesn't come clean into CC, she will. While Winston struggles
to hold down the community table, Nick, Jess, Schmidt, and
CC all race Topeka for a can't miss dinner. Let
us begin, Let us.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Begin, dive right in. I will say this is one
of the most memorable episodes that I ever did, and
it's for what happens in that restaurant. But we will
get there. So let's start. Schmidt is making mistakes.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Schmid is making a ton of mistakes. We open up
the episode with him on the phone talking to Elizabeth.
We said, Elizabeth right on the phone, and then now
have you Now this is a weird one because it's like,
if you're cheating. I'm not saying this as a person
who's cheated and never cheated, never, never cheated, most loyal person,
(04:53):
but like, why are you on the phone? Why are
you You can't like text or wait till you're getting
the car to have these conversations, like you'd like playing
with fun.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I had a friend who It was really interesting when
like Schmid does this big confession near the end where
he explains like why he kept both women, and he
was saying he no woman has ever really been interested
in him, right, he said, he struggled with his weight
and for that reason he believes that no women were
(05:25):
interested in him. And now all of a sudden he's
got like these two dimes that are all of a
sudden like want him, and he just he can't say
no like this. He's never experienced two women at the
same time wanting him and he couldn't say no. And
I had a friend who did the same thing, and
he was also doing wild things like nuts, not that
(05:46):
they're smart cheating, but he wasn't like he would do that. Yeah,
like five seconds going to the bathroom calling somebody, then
coming out and talking to the girl, and it was
sort of like they they were acting like twelve year olds, yeah, right,
like couldn't understand it. They had like candy in each
room and just running back and forth and just couldn't
help themselves. So I feel like this kind of supports
(06:06):
his story that he's just like, look, I'm bad at this.
I'm bad at this, and I'm making terrible decisions. And
it's even in the fact that like CEC's in the bedroom,
I got to call Elizabeth. It's just messy. That's so
stupid to me, it's so stupid. It's so stupid. But
the whole thing is stupid. He doesn't like he shouldn't
be in the situation to begin with, so none of
the choices are going to make sense anyway. So Cec
(06:28):
comes out. She says she's tired. I remember shooting this
scene because I was always in like these little dresses,
and they're like, here's like a nice oversized shirt and
you can come out barefoot and you can wear like boxers.
I was like, this is a dream day. What an outfit.
I was so happy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Just barefoot and bottomless.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's right, So I dream outfit. No, But just then
it leads into the funniest thing ever, which was you
with the whole f.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Man, you know that part of that. And I was
looking for the episode for some reason. I don't I
don't have that draft. Now, I don't know I found it, Yeah,
I was. I was like in my email scouring. I
had the I had the the schedule, I had the
parking instructions for peak. Out of all these things, I
did not have the actual script, and I, for life
(07:22):
me couldn't find it. And the reason why I was
looking for the script is because I'm quite sure I
improvised a lot of that utail chat and I was
trying to figure out which words were scripted and which
words weren't. And I think I remember when I said,
you know, I chose to be alone or something like that,
and nobody know you like you. You know that was
the choice I made as a man. You know that
(07:45):
that all there I want to say is improvise because
that's just kind of how I speak a little bit,
you know what I mean. I have those iss from
time to time and I'm and I'm happy they put
it in there because it's something that you know, people
people post often people we'll get.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
A table at a chair store. Was not in the script.
It wasn't in a script. So either it was in
a massive alt pack or that's just you just just saying,
you're thinking, that's the thing I can never you know,
they never sent us the old packs. Those were just
like there, they all jokes. But yeah, get a table
at a chair store. It made me laugh.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Heww.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That was a good one. Wherever it came from, that
was a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And when you go I think Liz pitched me or Love,
I think maybe it was Love who pitched me. At
the end, when I say, go ahead, man, I'll make
you some coffee.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So Winston invites himself on the double date, basically buying
his way in by saying he can get them a
table at the most exclusive a restaurant in town, Peka Pika,
and says, yeah, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You're in Yeah, now this this place. Okay, So this
moment in the episode. I remember an actor by the
name of Lee Thompson Young who we used to live
in the same apartment complex. He was the famous Jet Jackson,
you know, a bunch of movies, you know, Nickelodeon, a
bunch of stuff, you know, passed away that day and
(09:10):
and I knew him a little. We would, you know,
we would see each other in the hallway, we'd be
at events together, and we'd done some table reads together,
like work related, you know, friendship. But it was a cool.
Dude was always so kind to me. And then yeah,
you know, passed away that day and I was on
set and I and I just remember not being able
to like fully you know, fully like be in it
(09:35):
and trying to be funny and trying to like they
like gave me a break, you know. I remember Alice Weterland.
She she played the woman who works who works the
front of the restaurant, the hostess, and she was just
so kind to me. She was just like talking to
me chilling hanging out. I didn't know her at all,
(09:56):
but you know, I was just in such a weird space.
It was hard for me to even do this this episode,
to be quite honest with you, A lot of funny
stuff came from it, but it was like, yeah, I
was like, that was my head.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We're also not alone that week, basically because you were
kind of shooting at that restaurant by yourself, so it
wasn't like you had us either, Yeah, for most of it,
which is also you know, and then you're on locations
you're not even like on the lot. Yeah, that is
quite disorienting when you're actually going through that real life stuff. Yeah,
and then you have to show up and tell jokes
(10:32):
when you're trying to cope and process by yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, that was That one was rough. That one was rough.
But let's just let's dive back into it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So I walk in cec walks into the room where
Nick and Jess are in bed. What's post quoital and
I just hear, so here's I did have the script,
so I read the script, and the truth of this
scene is that they really gave Jake not much to do,
not much to do. It all, he was just supposed
(11:01):
to sit there and be awkward, like look awkward, and
it was really a just and CC scene. But I
truly I was like, but he does the most in
this scene, right, like when I sit on the bed,
he's like what you're saying, Like he starts saying all
sorts of funny things, injecting all sorts of funny things
about like those penises showing. None of this is scripted,
None of this is in the script, And I was like,
(11:23):
why is he because it's so funny, he's so great,
And I was like, I wondered if it's the two
fold things. One we talked about how season three everybody
just hit like a full stride and comfort level of improv.
But also it says best friend Max Winkler is directing,
and I'm sure he could just like let Jake go
(11:43):
and Jake Philip company to be like, I can do
what I want. It's Max here, and it was gold.
That scene is one of the funniest scenes to me
because of Jake. We're having a real conversation her and I,
but like Jake is doing because he's an naked in
the bed and then they have to do that weird
like bedroom treat kitchen treat thing. Also improvised this like
(12:06):
oh the little itchy bra of the day. And I
remember sitting there genuinely feeling uncomfortable. It was like but
it was so funny and it made the show.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
In that moment, you were Winston, So you were third
wheeling it and Winston's trying to fifth wheel it, which
is the same.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thing, right, we're just on the outside of it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
On the difference is you were doing it at the
most inappropriate time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay. So Winston then walks into Peka and immediately just
see it a class decord of ball. I don't know
why that made me left too, Like trying to be cool,
you know what I mean, Like trying to be cool.
So you own a spot, so you just do something.
Oh the information.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The thing the tricky is when you're trying to get
you're trying to get to a locase you're not supposed
to be. You got to walk with confidence. And he
walked in extremely confident and was like, I'm going to
eat this mint. And till this day, whenever I see
a glass bowl of like those things, I always think
of that moment where I just I was like, nah,
that's glass.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That glass.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It's kind of like what you just talked about when
we did our little Emmy recap. Right, it's like Emmy first, Right,
all of a sudden, you're trying to get into a place,
Just walk in with the Emmy first. That work for you.
Here's Winston walking in. He'says like, I'm gonna pop a
mint like I own the joint. Yes, Emmy, this is
what Winston needed at Pica. I know he needed to
do an art life like crossover time travel. Oh wait.
(13:30):
The Iowe You moment also was so funny.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh my gosh, it's uh, it's one of my favorite bits.
It's like and I see it in movies from time
to time, and even even later on in Game Night,
Billy Magnuson kind of does the moment where he's like
sliding her this dollar. She's like one dollar really, and
he's like, hold on, sorry, this is another dollar. And
(13:53):
this one is so funny. I don't know, I mean
laughing at my own stuff, but it's it's it's funny
because it's like the writers wrote that like, oh, that's
not supposed to be that's supposed that's supposed to be
ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's that scene actually went on in the script right
where you're like, can I change it? And then you
change it and then you slide it slowly back to
her and then she's like no, like an no. But
there was so much to get this episode. There was
a bunch of little like endings of things that were cut,
(14:24):
but that scene went on. It was but it was
so funny. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Meanwhile, Schmit's being really weird, right yeah, and Nick approaches
him and asks him if he is on drugs now.
Schmidt pulls Nick into his room and then he asked
if he's cracked his email password? How did you guess?
Smithereens this is so funny. But then Schmid's like, you know,
I did something really really bad and he tells him.
(14:52):
He lets him know. First of all, that was before
we before he tells him, you know, He's like, you
could tell me anything. We're best friends, and he goes,
I was there you when you fell off the deck
at Chester's graduation. But in a flashback, it's clearly showing
Nick is like high five in them so hard that
he knocks him off, knocks him off, Yeah, he knocks
him off the deck, but then Schmid comes back to
(15:13):
let Nick know, hey, man, I'm dating Elizabeth and CC.
This is also one of those really funny, funny back
and forth whenever Max and Jak are on camera together
where he's not. Nick is so confused about what he's
trying to tell him. He can't fathom a world in
(15:35):
which you can have multiple women.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He's just like, this was like half a page on
the script, so they obviously Max told him. Max Winkler
the director told him to just like open it up
and just to keep going with the confusion and the
questioning and the justifications and all of it made it
in because it's so funny, and I feel like it's
one of the most iconic scenes between these two guys
(15:59):
that people you get one wife, this is the way
the world works. And then when he goes why and screams,
and then the turn that Jake does where he's.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like it's so great, oh yeah. And then meanwhile Winston
still trying to get that reservation by pretending to be
author Tony Morrison. This is like, well, what, well, I
think you're a woman, because he can't he doesn't know
(16:29):
who Tony Morris. He didn't know Tony Morris.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He just actually did kind of a good Tony Morrison though.
That's that's not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Lie Tonny Morrison. Yeah, I mean, I'm really good with impressions,
especially Tony Morrison. We're gonna we're gonna take a quick break,
and when we come back, Hannah's gonna give you her
best Tony Morrison impression and we are back. Now, is
(17:03):
this the week that we're not even mentioning you know what?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
When I'm mentioning you know what because I have a
plan for this season. Okay, I'm not getting into debate
about the bear every single week with you.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I didn't say anything about the bear. I love the show,
great show.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Great, great show. Love bears, love bears, Bears love big bears,
small bears, brown bears, black bears, love them.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, so we're not getting into it, right.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We're not getting into the bear situation. If you guys
are just kind of like plugging into this third season.
The plan is I need all of your help out
there to DM me all where the bears are, okay,
and then I'm going to do a special bear episode
at the end of the season that's called Screw You
Lamar Bears, Bears bears. That's what it's going to be called.
(17:47):
And I'm going to show you the memoir.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's the name of the memoir from every Woman has
Ever Dated Me?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's screaming Lawarn's bears bears Bear.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. Okay, So here we go, diving
right back in in the mirror. Nick is trying to
convince himself to lie to Jess about his talk with Schmidt.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Again.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Love it when he's by himself doing nonsense, you know.
It just just walks into his room and asks him
how his day's been. And this man is wearing a motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Helmet, and then she asks one of the funniest questions.
I forgot about this line, We're finally going to do
no kiss sex, And then she opens the visor, sees
his eyes and she's like, no, something is going on.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
He's got too many taills, he's got sweatback. You know,
she can look in his eyes until he's lying. He's
a terribly terrible liar.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Some people are though, for real.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, they just can't.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
They act like a totally weird person.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh yeah, I avoid like, if you don't hear from me,
it's because I gotta lie. It too.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm great. I'm a great layer.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Shout out to Kanye.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We were back at Pica and Weinstein. He's going to
go to the community table route. He's not getting a table.
That's not happening. So he's got a plan and then
does some of the most disgusting things. The fish the
thing that you put in your mouth. Was that a
rubber thing?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, that was real fish? No, sir, that was real fish.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well that was really real with the bones.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
No, the bones weren't in it. They deboned it. So
I just remember in that, in that moment, having them
pitch that idea to me, and then thinking, okay, well,
can I at least get something warm and not like
something that maybe you just heat it up. At least
go put it in the microwave or something, because cold fish.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Is just microwave fish.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I just had him heat it up a little bit.
I don't know if they microwaved or you know, took
a blowtors to it. I have no idea, but when
it brought it back it was a little warm, so
I was like, Okay, this is better than sticking cold
fish in my mouth. Yeah, And then even that moment,
I think I might not be in this particular moment,
but it's later on when we when we see him
still at that table and you know, you could sell
(20:12):
he's been there for a while and somebody tries to
sit down and I go into this African language that
I just made up.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh my gosh, that my off guard too. I was crying.
I was like, what is this man doing? Please tell me,
no one pitch you that, and you just decided to
do it.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I just decided to do that. That was That's just me.
It's like a it's just silliness. It's just like, what
can I do to get these people away from me? Oh,
I can act like a you know, an African warlord.
You know that's really mad at somebody, like, hey, But
the thing is I made that up. I am curious though,
because you know, sometimes when you just make stuff up,
(20:49):
something I said could possibly be a word in one
of the many, many, many African countries. That's true, you
know what I mean? I don't know. So for for
all of my Afrikaans and African folks out there, let
me know if I said anything, well, let me know
if it was just plain stupidity.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Imagine, imagine if you actually like said something, but it
was actually something beautiful. I would like to give you flowers.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Hey, beautiful flower man, why did he leave? He's welcoming.
Please sit.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I misspoke earlier, so she did not lift the visor
and see that he was lying. They then bound Chikawauwa,
and then she finds out afterwards with the motorcycle helmet
on after sex that she finds out the secret and
she comes out hell fire, which, by the way, that
is such a me thing that I would do in
(21:47):
my real life if I found out, oh yes, have
sex and a motorcycle helmet. No, I would if I
found out that my best friend is being cheated on
and that person who was doing it was in the vicinity,
rip to that person, bye bye. I'll call the cops
myself on myself, I'll be like, Okay, this is about
to happen, you better show up. There's I would be
(22:09):
furious and I love It's. One of the things that
Liz Meriweather did so well is she kept the female
friendship between Jess and CC so honest there was not
even a question in Jess's mind just because she's you know,
love Schmidt and their roommates and their friends when it
comes to like these girls sticking together and having each
other's backs. It never falters. They never fight of a man,
(22:31):
they never choose a man over each other. It's a
really beautiful part that lasts the entire series. And this
is like her in spades. She comes out, she totally
trashes him, insults him in the way only Jess can
crumbum right, and then she puts down the ultimatum, which
is like, you better tell her quick, yeah, otherwise I'm
going to And they know CEC's about to show up,
(22:54):
She's about to walk through the door.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Here's what's on. Here's the anger. The Actually I might be,
I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but
I when we get to it, remind me to We'll
just go to it. We'll just we'll just keep going
because I do have I do have a thought on
on the behavior of Cci, and just in this moment,
(23:18):
the behavior of you two is despicable and it is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You mean Schmidt.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Speaking, no, no, that man, that man was trying to
spare feelings and you guys, let's keep going.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
My lord, I'm about to drive to your house right now.
Here's the other thing in the script there, it never
shows Nick, it never says that Nick dances. He's supposed
to just be standing there. I think, like, like, again,
he's not part of this scene, right, he just comes
out with her and this is between Jess and Schmidt.
And again, I think it was the Winkler effect. I
(23:55):
think he was just like, you, you do something because
you're uncomfortable, and they know that Jake hates to dance. Hmm,
so deeply, so there's gonna be anything more awkward. It's
the funniest. It's one of the most like memeable things
that have like come out of the show is that
insane dance with the motorcycle helmet. But it was not
(24:16):
in the script, so either they came up with it
on set or they chatted about what could he be
doing instead of just standing there. Maybe it's you know,
it's like a little kid, right, like the parents are
fighting and he's just like, look at me, who are here?
Let's please don't fight. It's okay. Maybe it's that. I
don't know, but it was. It's so funny and it's
the perfect way to balance what is it really high
(24:38):
stakes dramatic scene.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you balance it out by telling
Jack Johnson stick a helmet on and dance. It's done now. Now,
when Ceci walks in the room, she can totally tell
the vibe is off.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And Schmid's like, we got to get the hell out
of here. We'll take it two cars to the phone. Yeah,
and and is blining it. I mean he gets in
a car and just is gunning it, blowing stop signs,
which we don't endorse here on this show. Drive responsibly,
don't be like Schmidt.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Don't be like Schmidt. And then he's just gonna like
disappear her. He's like, we're just like going somewhere no
one can find as we're gone. And then he makes
this is the thing of like the panic choice. He
makes the fatal mistake, which is he then says that
Nick is cheating on Jess. Yes, And so now this
(25:36):
is where these best friends mirror each other. She's like,
what I need to be in front of that man
right now, and I'm going to tell Jess right now.
And he realizes hold the smokes. He was out and
now he's back in.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So what happens though, because meanwhile Winston's still there holding
the table down. He's got an excuse for why he's now,
you know, secured every singy bathroom. And so when they
when you come walking in, like there she is there,
she goes. Jess walks up, and you guys are both
(26:12):
about to tell each other the exact same thing about
two different people. And the moment Nick walks in, what
does CC do? What does she do?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
She does the most obvious understandable thing. If anything, she
holds back. She was kind to that man.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
You can how by punching him in his dingling twice
killed him. She could have killed him, and she decided
to give him a little. Papa, let them know, you
don't need anymore you We were just dragging it around town.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Pop, pap.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let me ask you a question. If someone if someone
cheats on you, that means they deserve to die.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Did you're my best friend? There's no rational irrational, it's
primal at that point.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
These are your emotions. So someone deserves to lose their
life because you two disagreed on a thing. So your
life is worthless because you hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So you got my friend's feelings. If you hurt my feelings,
that's it. If you hurt my feelings, I'd probably be like,
oh God, that's that makes me feel sad. You hurt
my friend. That's it. It's over, Bye bye, I see
you later.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
His so never so when a woman cheats on the man,
never in the history. I don't ever, Not me and
my friends at least, we don't. We don't plot out
punching this woman in her vagina.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I'm put a punch of breast.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
We just go, hey, man, yay, brother man. Sometimes it happens.
That's life's time to move on. God bless God, bless
her man. And you know, she just she wanted what
she wanted, and she made a decision. Man, I love
her anywhere. I respect her decision and humbly, humbly, let's
just keep it moving. But but you are like, no,
I must punch this man in this testacle so he
(27:57):
can never breed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
So this was the story of that too, right as
they're like, so, you know, you come in and they
tell Jake and Hannah's gonna punch you twice and obviously
not real. We're gonna fake it like he's gonna move
his body, there'll be no contact. It's fine. And then
I remember they were like, hey, Uh, do you want
a cup? Or like, oh, you're fine, And I just
remember him looking at me and he was like, you
(28:21):
know what, I'm gonna take a cup.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm gonna have a cop.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
When I realized, oh, we have no trust. With no
trust here, she misses because it's so funny because he says, also,
I feel like this actually was scripted, I think, but
he says like, you know, like she nipped the corner.
And I remember in the moment like I was like,
oh God did I I'm so sorry. It was really
(28:47):
funny that moment. It was very fun to do. It
was very cathartic because it was a really weird shoot.
That was the only thing that we did there, and
then we're skinna. We'll come back to what happens in
the car between Schmidt and Max. But when Max does
come in to the bar, what was scripted and what
(29:08):
we did was actually much more of like a joke
where he was kind of like I hurt you, you
know you hurt me, Take the fork, stab me. It's fine.
Like it was more like heightened and very Schmidt joke style.
And then that's all we shot that day. What you
actually see when Schmidt and Ceci start to really talk.
(29:32):
When they really talk was a reshoot. Oh yeah, it
was a reshoot that we did back at the bar,
so they'd cut the episode together, and I think they realized, like,
this is a huge moment in the series, right, and
he has to get it, Like if we're going to
get these people back together, this can't just be easily
(29:54):
like forgivable. There has to be some real truth told
and he has to really talk through it. And this
ca about the comedy of this. This has to be real.
And that's where a New Girl again, just like shined.
It was like in those relationships and I'll never forget.
I feel like Jake Kasden was there, came down for it.
I think Winkler was there. I feel like Kasden was there,
(30:17):
and they had kind of written out Max's little speech
she does again. We shot it in the bar. They
dressed it to be like Pica and they said, Hannah,
you can just say whatever you want, just respond to
him however you want, however you feel, however it hits you.
(30:37):
And so that whole scene where I'm there and I'm
crying and all the things that I say was just
fully improvised.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I was going to comment on I didn't know that
you had these type of chops, Hannah, because you let
out one single Denzel Washington from Glory Tyr. It just
came right down the left eye. I was like this,
and I said, how she do that? How she do that?
That's Cgi? That must be Cgi. That's Ai right there.
(31:07):
How she do that, Hannah? How you do the one single? Tier?
If I'm crying is coming out. If I'm crying, it
looks like Viole the daysis I got snop bubbles coming
out of my nose. It's just like you were just
like one tier. How.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I don't know. It was a moment. I will remember
that moment in there because Max is a really wonderful
actor and he has no problem like he never breaks
eye contact with you. And when he was saying the
things he was saying, which were problematic like what Schmid says,
it's kind of problematiccause he's talking about himself, right, like
I've never had these opportunities before, two girls at the
(31:44):
same time, and I was a fat kid, and he's
saying all these things, which you're the one that's hurt, right,
So you're sitting there like her character is the one
going through this and you're it's like enraging. No, it's
not no justification.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
There is, there's no no. See, this is a two
way street because he's hurt because now he had two women.
Now he ain't got no host.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yes, he is hurt. He's from his own choices. She's
hurt from his choices.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You imagine having too, and now you got none. Somebody
give you two million dollars. Today you got two million dollars,
and tomorrow you've got no million dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, but I've put them in a trash can and
set them on fire. It's a little hard to feel
sorry for me, you know what I'm saying. And if
I took the two million from you, you'd be pissed anyways. Really,
I remember that moment of like trying to like channel
being angry and sad at the same time, which is
(32:40):
why I don't think it was like fully bawling, right,
because you're just mad and you don't even want to
give somebody that you know, you don't even want to
sit there and like let them know how deeply they
hurt you. But you can't keep it all in. And yeah,
I was really grateful that they kind of just let
us get there, and they did. Yeah, they didn't script me.
He just said like say what you want to say
(33:02):
and that like I don't know, I don't know you anymore.
Like that was all like improvised. It was such a
it was like a big scene. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
So it was a great scene, a very emotional scene.
But I love that this is a new girl. And
right at the end, Schmid asks if anyone has twelve
dollars for Valet for the ballet, and then that such
a serious tone and in such a serious way, so
I know it's.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Also very real. It's la you wouldn't be able to
get your car back. They'd be like, sorry, I don't
know what to do. Walk we own your car now forever.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm like, bro, I had two girls and I got none,
Like come on, man, like help me out.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Meanwhile, back at the loft in the bathroom, just tells
Nick that Ceci still hasn't called her. She asked if
Nick can call her phone to test it. He tells
her he doesn't have any more minutes left from the
ten thousand he bought back.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The funniest break she has to do in this whole
Like as where she's like having this real, sincere emotional
moment and she just gets so bumped by how crazy
that notion is.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Thing, Oh yeah, you have to have minutes. Shout out,
shout out, shout out to the old next tail phones
and the the uh, the razor phones, the motorolas with
minutes on them. That's my favorite thing to do back
then they was go to the mall and get one
of those cards that had minutes on it. I felt
like the man after that. Now back at the front door,
(34:31):
we see Elizabeth throwing a.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Pie, a peach pie, a peach pie peach.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh my gosh, and and and rightfully so, and that's
the and that was the conclusion of the the love Triangle, right.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I loved it so much, where she's like, you broke
my heart, mail me my mouthguard. Yes, it's so funny
because it is hard and breakups and you're like, I
still got stuff at your place and I need it.
I just want to be done, but I also need
my stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
She could have literally just walked in the room and
got it.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Though she was done, she's covered in pie. She gotta go.
Elizabeth used to be but you.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Know why women do that?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Right?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Bring me my stuff later that she's leaving the door open.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
No, no door open. This door was for telling herself
that that's not true. Male in a box that no
return descender a lot open. Oh that's right, he says.
There was a call, right, Is that right?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
He said? Apparently, Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
CEC told Elizabeth. No. CC told Elizabeth. Here's where I think, honestly, like,
I know you don't watch Love Island, No, but I
watched Love Island USA this best season, and it was
so good and the way the women held each other
down was so good. It was so great, and I
(35:55):
feel like it was that same energy between CEC and Elizabeth.
I think it was just straight up call where she's
just like, I got this information. I'm giving you this information.
You can, by the way, I respect you, any choice
you would like to make.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Let's reenact it really quickly, Okay, ringing Hello, This is Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Hey Elizabeth, this is CC.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You waggedy bitch. What's doing calling my motherfucking phone? Same
on you.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is like I expected you to respond like that.
I just want to share something that maybe will make
you feel a little differently. Schmidt was fully dating me
while he was fully dating you and I just found
out and I broke up with him, and I think
he's disgusting and it's over. You can do whatever you
(36:42):
want with that information. The only way to prove it
is for you to go to Schmidt and ask him
if it's true. You should get that rate from him.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
You know what I want to do. I want to
go with him, going to sleep with him one or
two more times, and then while we look at your
photo on the nightstand and then see and then see
what he really feels. And then after that, if he
doesn't feel any thing for either one of us, then
I'm gonna throw a pie in his face.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I love that choice for you.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my man.
I love him.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
See that. I can see that, Elizabeth, I can see that.
I'm really happy for you too. Peace of love.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Probably that's probably how the call went.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
I feel like, of all the improv scene partners I
could have had on that reenactment, maybe despite the Emmy,
you might not have been my number one choice. I
feel like Merret Weaver needs to come on the show
and we can do that call, and we can do
that call. I don't think as bitch is going to
be in that reenactment.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Oh well, I think that's something she would say.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Sure, right after that great moment, No great woman, say
it's say it. I love this is my favorite part
of the episode.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Schmidt becomes as sinister as sinister is while covered in
peach cobbler. He lets Nick and Jess know that he
will stop at nothing to ruin their relationship. He blames them,
he blames them. He's like, this is her fault. I
was going to fix it. I was going to handle it,
but you interjected, and so now I'm going to ruin
(38:14):
the both of you. Right on, Schmidt because it was
none of their business. Right on.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
And then they do the funniest turn where they go,
you know what, We're not going to let this happen,
so we have to spill all of our darkest secrets.
Let's go. And then they do a back and forth
of the ages, The Fear of Cares. I can't.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
She's a part of the Green Party, she's banned from
Lake Ontario, and she's.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
The iconic nickline where he's convinced he does not.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
He he just memorized a bunch of words.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Amazing, so funny.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
The doctor said that she might grow another eighteen inches.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
It's another foot and a half on a woman. He's like,
I'm getting past it. I'm working through it. I'm done.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And they disagree on the moon landing, which I'm I'm
with I'm with Nick on that. That's fake moon landing.
It's fake.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
For real. Moon Lane is fake, for real, for real,
for real, for real? Are you just trying to make
me crazy?
Speaker 4 (39:13):
I am.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. You went
to the moon, dogs, man, you know how hard it
is to get to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
To go more a dinner in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
That's hard to go, bro.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
It was so hard.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
That's hard, bro.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Someone I love though, So I was like, all right,
because I love you so much, I will travel to
Santa Monica on a Friday at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
They couldn't cure racism, but they got to the moon.
I don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
So I do buy that. Motivate here on earth.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Oh my gosh. Okay, let's go to a break and
when we come back, we're gonna mess around a little bit.
You know, don't tell your husband.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
And we are back.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Babe, bababe dating two people? Advice? Was there any way
for Schmid to get out of this clean. I mean,
you've done it.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
You know you've did No, there's no way to get
out of it clean. It's messy, messy, messy, no matter what.
Because here's the thing. Even if you managed to choose
one and break up with the other and nobody found
out somehow clean you know, quote clean, you would carry
it on your conscience.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
They wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
No, I'm just saying because you, ultimately, the crisis is
within you. So if you if you got rid of
the crisis, if you decided in the middle of this journey, like,
you know what, I'm messing up. I'm screwing up. I
messed up. I gotta fix this. You don't fix it
by just like it admitting to both parties that you're
sleeping with you. No, you just break up with one
(41:03):
of them and then you know and then keep the
other one. You know she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
That's the past.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That's the past. What are we doing on the past?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
You keeps for other people? You know, some people are
fine to be like, you know what, date other people.
I'll date to the people and then we're gonna just
we'll figure out if we're right for each other, Like,
why not be transparent? It's one thing I guess it's
like it's so nuanced, right, because if you're in a relationship,
like let's say for a few months, and then you
meet somebody else and you start dating them, that's cheating. Yeah,
(41:33):
that's cheating. The dating to people being transparent is you
know dating.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Well, CC she was lucky in this because when this
whole little love triangle started, remember she was trying to
marry Sharron, so she was literally at a wedding, her
own wedding, and all of a sudden, she expects this
man to just drop everything that he had going on,
and all of a sudden just be like, I'm gonna
drop this other woman because now you're single. You he's
(41:59):
the rebound, and we know what happens in rebound scenarios.
It doesn't work out because the moment you found out
he was cheating, guess what, you had another man coming
out of your apartment.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
You know what's really funny, As everybody says that this
storyline for Max was super problematic and it almost like
derailed Schmidt and it could have really hurt the series, right,
and somehow it all bounced back and it was fine.
It was like, no big deal. But I was always like, man,
there probably are some crazy people out there that are
like team Schmidt, and we just found one just off
(42:29):
n for Schmidt. No, I'm just I'm not wrong. I'm
not wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
No, I'm not on board with him cheating. I'm on
board with him fixing it the way he wants to
fix it. As long as he fixed it fixed.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
He didn't fix it, he did.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We look at it.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
We go back.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
No, we we go to seasons. We go to season seven,
and we realize you guys are married and have.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Children eventually, eventually the grace of sick. All right, double dates?
How do we feel about them? Is there anything worse
than having to go on a double date with a
couple you don't like? Can I just say something? Here's
the worst version of a double date? Okay, the worst
to me, the worst version of a double date is
(43:10):
you're with your partner, okay, and then your guy for you,
your girl like finds a bro that he's like, this
guy's the coolest, he's amazing. We should go to dinner. Okay,
So you're a partner now is going to have like
the greatest dinner because they're with their boy and you.
(43:30):
But for me, now I'm stuck with you, who are
super distracted to be hanging out of dinner with your
guy friend and some rando that I have to get
to know. And it's so weird to be on a
blind date with another woman and you're just like, ah.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
But all relationships get formed, you have to meet people
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Uh you'd look for I always call it like like
the unicorn couple, where like the women get on, the
men get on, or the whatever, the men all get on,
whatever it is, whatever you look like in your relationship,
but everybody knows each other and it's like, that's my person.
I get them. It is the worst when it's just
your partner likes the you know the other person, and
then you're stuck with their spouse and you don't get on.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, no, no, I can.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
I can get it in that situation before. It's yeah,
but it's weird.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, I've been in a situation. Yeah, Like just like
you said, it's it's when she does it, you know
what I mean. I have to I have to suck
it up and be like, yeah, I'm gonna go meet
this random dude and try to be friends with him
while you, you know, talk about girls stuff, talk about love islands,
you know what I mean. And we talk about it
a lot, I know you do. And the Bachelor and
(44:40):
the Bachelorrette and the Golden Bachelor. What quality program it's not.
I mean, it's on air, so people still love it.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
And I.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Know the Golden Bachelor's starring people who are ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
That's right, that's where they ended up. They ran out
of people. They these all people.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Island called Geriatric Island, a bunch of walkers, just as
TV is going around everywhere because the old people, they
don't wear condoms.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
It's great, disgusting. I love It's so down for it. Okay,
it's weird. Double dates can be weird.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Double days can be weird. Now, the double dates that
I find weird is if you you go on a
double date with someone and then you realize that they
want more than the double date, like they're trying to
they're trying to swap. They're trying to swap.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Oh a swap or a swing.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't do that.
I can't, thank you. You know.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Also, like if you don't want them right now? Why
would I want them?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Trying to get rid of her bro I don't I mean.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
You want him because I want them to. But why
don't you want that?
Speaker 3 (45:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Thank you bye bye?
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Yeah, not for me, not for me.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Not for me either, No thank you.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Fun fact they swing a lot in my treoll. Moving
on the punch, the junk punch on Jake Hannah. We
talked about this earlier, but did you practice that? You
know what I mean? How many takes do you remember doing?
Speaker 1 (46:12):
They asked me, They were like, do you want the stunt?
People were there, They're like, do you want us to
show you? This is how you fake it out? I
was like, I got it. I think that's why Jake
was like, look up please, I don't know if she's
got it.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, trust hand around, you're junk. She likes the punch.
She liked a couples of Sara. She likes to punch.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Absolutely, folks, we gotta we got an exciting show for you.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Today is a big episode, A big one.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Pretty pretty big one. This episode is episode three oh three,
Double Date, Double Day, directed by Max Winkler, written by
Love Rocket fun Fact and Love hates when I tell
the story because I've told in a million times. I
don't know why I keep telling it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You love the story.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He once took a shit in front of my house.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You brought him on the podcast. He's like one of
the most prolific writers on our show. And half of
that episode where we had levonn was you talking about
that moment?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You got to take greatness and not get down a
peg because you don't want him to get too big
for his britches. You know what I mean? People know
him as a great writer. I know him as a
shit taker.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
All right, tell us what happens in this episode. Let's
go okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So in this episode, Jess and Nick propose that they
go on a double date with Schmidt and Ceci. They
agree to let Winston fifth Wheel after he lets them
know he can get a reservation at the exclusive restaurant Pika,
which was on Pico by the way. Piko bulevards yes,
but after confessing to Nick that he is still dating
both Ceci and Elizabeth, Jess Warren Schmidt that if he
(03:59):
doesn't come clean into CC, she will. While Winston struggles
to hold down the community table, Nick, Jess, Schmidt, and
CC all race Topeka for a can't miss dinner. Let
us begin, Let us.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Begin, dive right in. I will say this is one
of the most memorable episodes that I ever did, and
it's for what happens in that restaurant. But we will
get there. So let's start. Schmidt is making mistakes.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Schmid is making a ton of mistakes. We open up
the episode with him on the phone talking to Elizabeth.
We said, Elizabeth right on the phone, and then now
have you Now this is a weird one because it's like,
if you're cheating. I'm not saying this as a person
who's cheated and never cheated, never, never cheated, most loyal person,
(04:53):
but like, why are you on the phone? Why are
you You can't like text or wait till you're getting
the car to have these conversations, like you'd like playing
with fun.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I had a friend who It was really interesting when
like Schmid does this big confession near the end where
he explains like why he kept both women, and he
was saying he no woman has ever really been interested
in him, right, he said, he struggled with his weight
and for that reason he believes that no women were
(05:25):
interested in him. And now all of a sudden he's
got like these two dimes that are all of a
sudden like want him, and he just he can't say
no like this. He's never experienced two women at the
same time wanting him and he couldn't say no. And
I had a friend who did the same thing, and
he was also doing wild things like nuts, not that
(05:46):
they're smart cheating, but he wasn't like he would do that. Yeah,
like five seconds going to the bathroom calling somebody, then
coming out and talking to the girl, and it was
sort of like they they were acting like twelve year olds, yeah, right,
like couldn't understand it. They had like candy in each
room and just running back and forth and just couldn't
help themselves. So I feel like this kind of supports
(06:06):
his story that he's just like, look, I'm bad at this.
I'm bad at this, and I'm making terrible decisions. And
it's even in the fact that like CEC's in the bedroom,
I got to call Elizabeth. It's just messy. That's so
stupid to me, it's so stupid. It's so stupid. But
the whole thing is stupid. He doesn't like he shouldn't
be in the situation to begin with, so none of
the choices are going to make sense anyway. So Cec
(06:28):
comes out. She says she's tired. I remember shooting this
scene because I was always in like these little dresses,
and they're like, here's like a nice oversized shirt and
you can come out barefoot and you can wear like boxers.
I was like, this is a dream day. What an outfit.
I was so happy.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Just barefoot and bottomless.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's right, So I dream outfit. No, But just then
it leads into the funniest thing ever, which was you
with the whole f.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Man, you know that part of that. And I was
looking for the episode for some reason. I don't I
don't have that draft. Now, I don't know I found it, Yeah,
I was. I was like in my email scouring. I
had the I had the the schedule, I had the
parking instructions for peak. Out of all these things, I
did not have the actual script, and I, for life
(07:22):
me couldn't find it. And the reason why I was
looking for the script is because I'm quite sure I
improvised a lot of that utail chat and I was
trying to figure out which words were scripted and which
words weren't. And I think I remember when I said,
you know, I chose to be alone or something like that,
and nobody know you like you. You know that was
the choice I made as a man. You know that
(07:45):
that all there I want to say is improvise because
that's just kind of how I speak a little bit,
you know what I mean. I have those iss from
time to time and I'm and I'm happy they put
it in there because it's something that you know, people
people post often people we'll get.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
A table at a chair store. Was not in the script.
It wasn't in a script. So either it was in
a massive alt pack or that's just you just just saying,
you're thinking, that's the thing I can never you know,
they never sent us the old packs. Those were just
like there, they all jokes. But yeah, get a table
at a chair store. It made me laugh.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Heww.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That was a good one. Wherever it came from, that
was a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And when you go I think Liz pitched me or Love,
I think maybe it was Love who pitched me. At
the end, when I say, go ahead, man, I'll make
you some coffee.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So Winston invites himself on the double date, basically buying
his way in by saying he can get them a
table at the most exclusive a restaurant in town, Peka Pika,
and says, yeah, you can do it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
You're in Yeah, now this this place. Okay, So this
moment in the episode. I remember an actor by the
name of Lee Thompson Young who we used to live
in the same apartment complex. He was the famous Jet Jackson,
you know, a bunch of movies, you know, Nickelodeon, a
bunch of stuff, you know, passed away that day and
(09:10):
and I knew him a little. We would, you know,
we would see each other in the hallway, we'd be
at events together, and we'd done some table reads together,
like work related, you know, friendship. But it was a cool.
Dude was always so kind to me. And then yeah,
you know, passed away that day and I was on
set and I and I just remember not being able
to like fully you know, fully like be in it
(09:35):
and trying to be funny and trying to like they
like gave me a break, you know. I remember Alice Weterland.
She she played the woman who works who works the
front of the restaurant, the hostess, and she was just
so kind to me. She was just like talking to
me chilling hanging out. I didn't know her at all,
(09:56):
but you know, I was just in such a weird space.
It was hard for me to even do this this episode,
to be quite honest with you, A lot of funny
stuff came from it, but it was like, yeah, I
was like, that was my head.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
We're also not alone that week, basically because you were
kind of shooting at that restaurant by yourself, so it
wasn't like you had us either, Yeah, for most of it,
which is also you know, and then you're on locations
you're not even like on the lot. Yeah, that is
quite disorienting when you're actually going through that real life stuff. Yeah,
and then you have to show up and tell jokes
(10:32):
when you're trying to cope and process by yourself.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, that was That one was rough. That one was rough.
But let's just let's dive back into it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So I walk in cec walks into the room where
Nick and Jess are in bed. What's post quoital and
I just hear, so here's I did have the script,
so I read the script, and the truth of this
scene is that they really gave Jake not much to do,
not much to do. It all, he was just supposed
(11:01):
to sit there and be awkward, like look awkward, and
it was really a just and CC scene. But I
truly I was like, but he does the most in
this scene, right, like when I sit on the bed,
he's like what you're saying, Like he starts saying all
sorts of funny things, injecting all sorts of funny things
about like those penises showing. None of this is scripted,
None of this is in the script, And I was like,
(11:23):
why is he because it's so funny, he's so great,
And I was like, I wondered if it's the two
fold things. One we talked about how season three everybody
just hit like a full stride and comfort level of improv.
But also it says best friend Max Winkler is directing,
and I'm sure he could just like let Jake go
(11:43):
and Jake Philip company to be like, I can do
what I want. It's Max here, and it was gold.
That scene is one of the funniest scenes to me
because of Jake. We're having a real conversation her and I,
but like Jake is doing because he's an naked in
the bed and then they have to do that weird
like bedroom treat kitchen treat thing. Also improvised this like
(12:06):
oh the little itchy bra of the day. And I
remember sitting there genuinely feeling uncomfortable. It was like but
it was so funny and it made the show.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
In that moment, you were Winston, So you were third
wheeling it and Winston's trying to fifth wheel it, which
is the same.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thing, right, we're just on the outside of it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
On the difference is you were doing it at the
most inappropriate time.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Okay. So Winston then walks into Peka and immediately just
see it a class decord of ball. I don't know
why that made me left too, Like trying to be cool,
you know what I mean, Like trying to be cool.
So you own a spot, so you just do something.
Oh the information.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The thing the tricky is when you're trying to get
you're trying to get to a locase you're not supposed
to be. You got to walk with confidence. And he
walked in extremely confident and was like, I'm going to
eat this mint. And till this day, whenever I see
a glass bowl of like those things, I always think
of that moment where I just I was like, nah,
that's glass.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That glass.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It's kind of like what you just talked about when
we did our little Emmy recap. Right, it's like Emmy first, Right,
all of a sudden, you're trying to get into a place,
Just walk in with the Emmy first. That work for you.
Here's Winston walking in. He'says like, I'm gonna pop a
mint like I own the joint. Yes, Emmy, this is
what Winston needed at Pica. I know he needed to
do an art life like crossover time travel. Oh wait.
(13:30):
The Iowe You moment also was so funny.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh my gosh, it's uh, it's one of my favorite bits.
It's like and I see it in movies from time
to time, and even even later on in Game Night,
Billy Magnuson kind of does the moment where he's like
sliding her this dollar. She's like one dollar really, and
he's like, hold on, sorry, this is another dollar. And
(13:53):
this one is so funny. I don't know, I mean
laughing at my own stuff, but it's it's it's funny
because it's like the writers wrote that like, oh, that's
not supposed to be that's supposed that's supposed to be
ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's that scene actually went on in the script right
where you're like, can I change it? And then you
change it and then you slide it slowly back to
her and then she's like no, like an no. But
there was so much to get this episode. There was
a bunch of little like endings of things that were cut,
(14:24):
but that scene went on. It was but it was
so funny. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Meanwhile, Schmit's being really weird, right yeah, and Nick approaches
him and asks him if he is on drugs now.
Schmidt pulls Nick into his room and then he asked
if he's cracked his email password? How did you guess?
Smithereens this is so funny. But then Schmid's like, you know,
I did something really really bad and he tells him.
(14:52):
He lets him know. First of all, that was before
we before he tells him, you know, He's like, you
could tell me anything. We're best friends, and he goes,
I was there you when you fell off the deck
at Chester's graduation. But in a flashback, it's clearly showing
Nick is like high five in them so hard that
he knocks him off, knocks him off, Yeah, he knocks
him off the deck, but then Schmid comes back to
(15:13):
let Nick know, hey, man, I'm dating Elizabeth and CC.
This is also one of those really funny, funny back
and forth whenever Max and Jak are on camera together
where he's not. Nick is so confused about what he's
trying to tell him. He can't fathom a world in
(15:35):
which you can have multiple women.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He's just like, this was like half a page on
the script, so they obviously Max told him. Max Winkler
the director told him to just like open it up
and just to keep going with the confusion and the
questioning and the justifications and all of it made it
in because it's so funny, and I feel like it's
one of the most iconic scenes between these two guys
(15:59):
that people you get one wife, this is the way
the world works. And then when he goes why and screams,
and then the turn that Jake does where he's.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Like it's so great, oh yeah. And then meanwhile Winston
still trying to get that reservation by pretending to be
author Tony Morrison. This is like, well, what, well, I
think you're a woman, because he can't he doesn't know
(16:29):
who Tony Morris. He didn't know Tony Morris.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He just actually did kind of a good Tony Morrison though.
That's that's not.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Lie Tonny Morrison. Yeah, I mean, I'm really good with impressions,
especially Tony Morrison. We're gonna we're gonna take a quick break,
and when we come back, Hannah's gonna give you her
best Tony Morrison impression and we are back. Now, is
(17:03):
this the week that we're not even mentioning you know what?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
When I'm mentioning you know what because I have a
plan for this season. Okay, I'm not getting into debate
about the bear every single week with you.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I didn't say anything about the bear. I love the show,
great show.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Great, great show. Love bears, love bears, Bears love big bears,
small bears, brown bears, black bears, love them.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okay, so we're not getting into it, right.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
We're not getting into the bear situation. If you guys
are just kind of like plugging into this third season.
The plan is I need all of your help out
there to DM me all where the bears are, okay,
and then I'm going to do a special bear episode
at the end of the season that's called Screw You
Lamar Bears, Bears bears. That's what it's going to be called.
(17:47):
And I'm going to show you the memoir.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's the name of the memoir from every Woman has
Ever Dated Me?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's screaming Lawarn's bears bears Bear.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, Oh my gosh. Okay, So here we go, diving
right back in in the mirror. Nick is trying to
convince himself to lie to Jess about his talk with Schmidt.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Again.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Love it when he's by himself doing nonsense, you know.
It just just walks into his room and asks him
how his day's been. And this man is wearing a motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Helmet, and then she asks one of the funniest questions.
I forgot about this line, We're finally going to do
no kiss sex, And then she opens the visor, sees
his eyes and she's like, no, something is going on.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
He's got too many taills, he's got sweatback. You know,
she can look in his eyes until he's lying. He's
a terribly terrible liar.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Some people are though, for real.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, they just can't.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
They act like a totally weird person.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh yeah, I avoid like, if you don't hear from me,
it's because I gotta lie. It too.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I'm great. I'm a great layer.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Shout out to Kanye.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We were back at Pica and Weinstein. He's going to
go to the community table route. He's not getting a table.
That's not happening. So he's got a plan and then
does some of the most disgusting things. The fish the
thing that you put in your mouth. Was that a
rubber thing?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, that was real fish? No, sir, that was real fish.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well that was really real with the bones.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
No, the bones weren't in it. They deboned it. So
I just remember in that, in that moment, having them
pitch that idea to me, and then thinking, okay, well,
can I at least get something warm and not like
something that maybe you just heat it up. At least
go put it in the microwave or something, because cold fish.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Is just microwave fish.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I just had him heat it up a little bit.
I don't know if they microwaved or you know, took
a blowtors to it. I have no idea, but when
it brought it back it was a little warm, so
I was like, Okay, this is better than sticking cold
fish in my mouth. Yeah, And then even that moment,
I think I might not be in this particular moment,
but it's later on when we when we see him
still at that table and you know, you could sell
(20:12):
he's been there for a while and somebody tries to
sit down and I go into this African language that
I just made up.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh my gosh, that my off guard too. I was crying.
I was like, what is this man doing? Please tell me,
no one pitch you that, and you just decided to
do it.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I just decided to do that. That was That's just me.
It's like a it's just silliness. It's just like, what
can I do to get these people away from me? Oh,
I can act like a you know, an African warlord.
You know that's really mad at somebody, like, hey, But
the thing is I made that up. I am curious though,
because you know, sometimes when you just make stuff up,
(20:49):
something I said could possibly be a word in one
of the many, many, many African countries. That's true, you
know what I mean? I don't know. So for for
all of my Afrikaans and African folks out there, let
me know if I said anything, well, let me know
if it was just plain stupidity.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Imagine, imagine if you actually like said something, but it
was actually something beautiful. I would like to give you flowers.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Hey, beautiful flower man, why did he leave? He's welcoming.
Please sit.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I misspoke earlier, so she did not lift the visor
and see that he was lying. They then bound Chikawauwa,
and then she finds out afterwards with the motorcycle helmet
on after sex that she finds out the secret and
she comes out hell fire, which, by the way, that
is such a me thing that I would do in
(21:47):
my real life if I found out, oh yes, have
sex and a motorcycle helmet. No, I would if I
found out that my best friend is being cheated on
and that person who was doing it was in the vicinity,
rip to that person, bye bye. I'll call the cops
myself on myself, I'll be like, Okay, this is about
to happen, you better show up. There's I would be
(22:09):
furious and I love It's. One of the things that
Liz Meriweather did so well is she kept the female
friendship between Jess and CC so honest there was not
even a question in Jess's mind just because she's you know,
love Schmidt and their roommates and their friends when it
comes to like these girls sticking together and having each
other's backs. It never falters. They never fight of a man,
(22:31):
they never choose a man over each other. It's a
really beautiful part that lasts the entire series. And this
is like her in spades. She comes out, she totally
trashes him, insults him in the way only Jess can
crumbum right, and then she puts down the ultimatum, which
is like, you better tell her quick, yeah, otherwise I'm
going to And they know CEC's about to show up,
(22:54):
She's about to walk through the door.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Here's what's on. Here's the anger. The Actually I might be,
I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but
I when we get to it, remind me to We'll
just go to it. We'll just we'll just keep going
because I do have I do have a thought on
on the behavior of Cci, and just in this moment,
(23:18):
the behavior of you two is despicable and it is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You mean Schmidt.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Speaking, no, no, that man, that man was trying to
spare feelings and you guys, let's keep going.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
My lord, I'm about to drive to your house right now.
Here's the other thing in the script there, it never
shows Nick, it never says that Nick dances. He's supposed
to just be standing there. I think, like, like, again,
he's not part of this scene, right, he just comes
out with her and this is between Jess and Schmidt.
And again, I think it was the Winkler effect. I
(23:55):
think he was just like, you, you do something because
you're uncomfortable, and they know that Jake hates to dance. Hmm,
so deeply, so there's gonna be anything more awkward. It's
the funniest. It's one of the most like memeable things
that have like come out of the show is that
insane dance with the motorcycle helmet. But it was not
(24:16):
in the script, so either they came up with it
on set or they chatted about what could he be
doing instead of just standing there. Maybe it's you know,
it's like a little kid, right, like the parents are
fighting and he's just like, look at me, who are here?
Let's please don't fight. It's okay. Maybe it's that. I
don't know, but it was. It's so funny and it's
the perfect way to balance what is it really high
(24:38):
stakes dramatic scene.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you balance it out by telling
Jack Johnson stick a helmet on and dance. It's done now. Now,
when Ceci walks in the room, she can totally tell
the vibe is off.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And Schmid's like, we got to get the hell out
of here. We'll take it two cars to the phone. Yeah,
and and is blining it. I mean he gets in
a car and just is gunning it, blowing stop signs,
which we don't endorse here on this show. Drive responsibly,
don't be like Schmidt.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Don't be like Schmidt. And then he's just gonna like
disappear her. He's like, we're just like going somewhere no
one can find as we're gone. And then he makes
this is the thing of like the panic choice. He
makes the fatal mistake, which is he then says that
Nick is cheating on Jess. Yes, And so now this
(25:36):
is where these best friends mirror each other. She's like,
what I need to be in front of that man
right now, and I'm going to tell Jess right now.
And he realizes hold the smokes. He was out and
now he's back in.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So what happens though, because meanwhile Winston's still there holding
the table down. He's got an excuse for why he's now,
you know, secured every singy bathroom. And so when they
when you come walking in, like there she is there,
she goes. Jess walks up, and you guys are both
(26:12):
about to tell each other the exact same thing about
two different people. And the moment Nick walks in, what
does CC do? What does she do?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
She does the most obvious understandable thing. If anything, she
holds back. She was kind to that man.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
You can how by punching him in his dingling twice
killed him. She could have killed him, and she decided
to give him a little. Papa, let them know, you
don't need anymore you We were just dragging it around town.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Pop, pap.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let me ask you a question. If someone if someone
cheats on you, that means they deserve to die.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Did you're my best friend? There's no rational irrational, it's
primal at that point.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
These are your emotions. So someone deserves to lose their
life because you two disagreed on a thing. So your
life is worthless because you hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So you got my friend's feelings. If you hurt my feelings,
that's it. If you hurt my feelings, I'd probably be like,
oh God, that's that makes me feel sad. You hurt
my friend. That's it. It's over, Bye bye, I see
you later.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
His so never so when a woman cheats on the man,
never in the history. I don't ever, Not me and
my friends at least, we don't. We don't plot out
punching this woman in her vagina.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I'm put a punch of breast.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
We just go, hey, man, yay, brother man. Sometimes it happens.
That's life's time to move on. God bless God, bless
her man. And you know, she just she wanted what
she wanted, and she made a decision. Man, I love
her anywhere. I respect her decision and humbly, humbly, let's
just keep it moving. But but you are like, no,
I must punch this man in this testacle so he
(27:57):
can never breed.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
So this was the story of that too, right as
they're like, so, you know, you come in and they
tell Jake and Hannah's gonna punch you twice and obviously
not real. We're gonna fake it like he's gonna move
his body, there'll be no contact. It's fine. And then
I remember they were like, hey, Uh, do you want
a cup? Or like, oh, you're fine, And I just
remember him looking at me and he was like, you
(28:21):
know what, I'm gonna take a cup.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm gonna have a cop.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
When I realized, oh, we have no trust. With no
trust here, she misses because it's so funny because he says, also,
I feel like this actually was scripted, I think, but
he says like, you know, like she nipped the corner.
And I remember in the moment like I was like,
oh God did I I'm so sorry. It was really
(28:47):
funny that moment. It was very fun to do. It
was very cathartic because it was a really weird shoot.
That was the only thing that we did there, and
then we're skinna. We'll come back to what happens in
the car between Schmidt and Max. But when Max does
come in to the bar, what was scripted and what
(29:08):
we did was actually much more of like a joke
where he was kind of like I hurt you, you
know you hurt me, Take the fork, stab me. It's fine.
Like it was more like heightened and very Schmidt joke style.
And then that's all we shot that day. What you
actually see when Schmidt and Ceci start to really talk.
(29:32):
When they really talk was a reshoot. Oh yeah, it
was a reshoot that we did back at the bar,
so they'd cut the episode together, and I think they realized, like,
this is a huge moment in the series, right, and
he has to get it, Like if we're going to
get these people back together, this can't just be easily
(29:54):
like forgivable. There has to be some real truth told
and he has to really talk through it. And this
ca about the comedy of this. This has to be real.
And that's where a New Girl again, just like shined.
It was like in those relationships and I'll never forget.
I feel like Jake Kasden was there, came down for it.
I think Winkler was there. I feel like Kasden was there,
(30:17):
and they had kind of written out Max's little speech
she does again. We shot it in the bar. They
dressed it to be like Pica and they said, Hannah,
you can just say whatever you want, just respond to
him however you want, however you feel, however it hits you.
(30:37):
And so that whole scene where I'm there and I'm
crying and all the things that I say was just
fully improvised.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I was going to comment on I didn't know that
you had these type of chops, Hannah, because you let
out one single Denzel Washington from Glory Tyr. It just
came right down the left eye. I was like this,
and I said, how she do that? How she do that?
That's Cgi? That must be Cgi. That's Ai right there.
(31:07):
How she do that, Hannah? How you do the one single? Tier?
If I'm crying is coming out. If I'm crying, it
looks like Viole the daysis I got snop bubbles coming
out of my nose. It's just like you were just
like one tier. How.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I don't know. It was a moment. I will remember
that moment in there because Max is a really wonderful
actor and he has no problem like he never breaks
eye contact with you. And when he was saying the
things he was saying, which were problematic like what Schmid says,
it's kind of problematiccause he's talking about himself, right, like
I've never had these opportunities before, two girls at the
(31:44):
same time, and I was a fat kid, and he's
saying all these things, which you're the one that's hurt, right,
So you're sitting there like her character is the one
going through this and you're it's like enraging. No, it's
not no justification.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
There is, there's no no. See, this is a two
way street because he's hurt because now he had two women.
Now he ain't got no host.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yes, he is hurt. He's from his own choices. She's
hurt from his choices.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You imagine having too, and now you got none. Somebody
give you two million dollars. Today you got two million dollars,
and tomorrow you've got no million dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, but I've put them in a trash can and
set them on fire. It's a little hard to feel
sorry for me, you know what I'm saying. And if
I took the two million from you, you'd be pissed anyways. Really,
I remember that moment of like trying to like channel
being angry and sad at the same time, which is
(32:40):
why I don't think it was like fully bawling, right,
because you're just mad and you don't even want to
give somebody that you know, you don't even want to
sit there and like let them know how deeply they
hurt you. But you can't keep it all in. And yeah,
I was really grateful that they kind of just let
us get there, and they did. Yeah, they didn't script me.
He just said like say what you want to say
(33:02):
and that like I don't know, I don't know you anymore.
Like that was all like improvised. It was such a
it was like a big scene. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
So it was a great scene, a very emotional scene.
But I love that this is a new girl. And
right at the end, Schmid asks if anyone has twelve
dollars for Valet for the ballet, and then that such
a serious tone and in such a serious way, so
I know it's.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Also very real. It's la you wouldn't be able to
get your car back. They'd be like, sorry, I don't
know what to do. Walk we own your car now forever.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm like, bro, I had two girls and I got none,
Like come on, man, like help me out.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Meanwhile, back at the loft in the bathroom, just tells
Nick that Ceci still hasn't called her. She asked if
Nick can call her phone to test it. He tells
her he doesn't have any more minutes left from the
ten thousand he bought back.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The funniest break she has to do in this whole
Like as where she's like having this real, sincere emotional
moment and she just gets so bumped by how crazy
that notion is.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Thing, Oh yeah, you have to have minutes. Shout out,
shout out, shout out to the old next tail phones
and the the uh, the razor phones, the motorolas with
minutes on them. That's my favorite thing to do back
then they was go to the mall and get one
of those cards that had minutes on it. I felt
like the man after that. Now back at the front door,
(34:31):
we see Elizabeth throwing a.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Pie, a peach pie, a peach pie peach.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh my gosh, and and and rightfully so, and that's
the and that was the conclusion of the the love Triangle, right.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I loved it so much, where she's like, you broke
my heart, mail me my mouthguard. Yes, it's so funny
because it is hard and breakups and you're like, I
still got stuff at your place and I need it.
I just want to be done, but I also need
my stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
She could have literally just walked in the room and
got it.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Though she was done, she's covered in pie. She gotta go.
Elizabeth used to be but you.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Know why women do that?
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Right?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Bring me my stuff later that she's leaving the door open.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
No, no door open. This door was for telling herself
that that's not true. Male in a box that no
return descender a lot open. Oh that's right, he says.
There was a call, right, Is that right?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
He said? Apparently, Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
CEC told Elizabeth. No. CC told Elizabeth. Here's where I think, honestly, like,
I know you don't watch Love Island, No, but I
watched Love Island USA this best season, and it was
so good and the way the women held each other
down was so good. It was so great, and I
(35:55):
feel like it was that same energy between CEC and Elizabeth.
I think it was just straight up call where she's
just like, I got this information. I'm giving you this information.
You can, by the way, I respect you, any choice
you would like to make.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Let's reenact it really quickly, Okay, ringing Hello, This is Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Hey Elizabeth, this is CC.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You waggedy bitch. What's doing calling my motherfucking phone? Same
on you.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
This is like I expected you to respond like that.
I just want to share something that maybe will make
you feel a little differently. Schmidt was fully dating me
while he was fully dating you and I just found
out and I broke up with him, and I think
he's disgusting and it's over. You can do whatever you
(36:42):
want with that information. The only way to prove it
is for you to go to Schmidt and ask him
if it's true. You should get that rate from him.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
You know what I want to do. I want to
go with him, going to sleep with him one or
two more times, and then while we look at your
photo on the nightstand and then see and then see
what he really feels. And then after that, if he
doesn't feel any thing for either one of us, then
I'm gonna throw a pie in his face.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
I love that choice for you.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's my man.
I love him.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
See that. I can see that, Elizabeth, I can see that.
I'm really happy for you too. Peace of love.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Probably that's probably how the call went.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
I feel like, of all the improv scene partners I
could have had on that reenactment, maybe despite the Emmy,
you might not have been my number one choice. I
feel like Merret Weaver needs to come on the show
and we can do that call, and we can do
that call. I don't think as bitch is going to
be in that reenactment.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Oh well, I think that's something she would say.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Sure, right after that great moment, No great woman, say
it's say it. I love this is my favorite part
of the episode.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Schmidt becomes as sinister as sinister is while covered in
peach cobbler. He lets Nick and Jess know that he
will stop at nothing to ruin their relationship. He blames them,
he blames them. He's like, this is her fault. I
was going to fix it. I was going to handle it,
but you interjected, and so now I'm going to ruin
(38:14):
the both of you. Right on, Schmidt because it was
none of their business. Right on.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
And then they do the funniest turn where they go,
you know what, We're not going to let this happen,
so we have to spill all of our darkest secrets.
Let's go. And then they do a back and forth
of the ages, The Fear of Cares. I can't.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
She's a part of the Green Party, she's banned from
Lake Ontario, and she's.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
The iconic nickline where he's convinced he does not.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
He he just memorized a bunch of words.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Amazing, so funny.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
The doctor said that she might grow another eighteen inches.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
It's another foot and a half on a woman. He's like,
I'm getting past it. I'm working through it. I'm done.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
And they disagree on the moon landing, which I'm I'm
with I'm with Nick on that. That's fake moon landing.
It's fake.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
For real. Moon Lane is fake, for real, for real,
for real, for real? Are you just trying to make
me crazy?
Speaker 4 (39:13):
I am.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. You went
to the moon, dogs, man, you know how hard it
is to get to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
To go more a dinner in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
That's hard to go, bro.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
It was so hard.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
That's hard, bro.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Someone I love though, So I was like, all right,
because I love you so much, I will travel to
Santa Monica on a Friday at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
They couldn't cure racism, but they got to the moon.
I don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
So I do buy that. Motivate here on earth.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Oh my gosh. Okay, let's go to a break and
when we come back, we're gonna mess around a little bit.
You know, don't tell your husband.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
And we are back.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Babe, bababe dating two people? Advice? Was there any way
for Schmid to get out of this clean. I mean,
you've done it.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
You know you've did No, there's no way to get
out of it clean. It's messy, messy, messy, no matter what.
Because here's the thing. Even if you managed to choose
one and break up with the other and nobody found
out somehow clean you know, quote clean, you would carry
it on your conscience.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
They wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
No, I'm just saying because you, ultimately, the crisis is
within you. So if you if you got rid of
the crisis, if you decided in the middle of this journey, like,
you know what, I'm messing up. I'm screwing up. I
messed up. I gotta fix this. You don't fix it
by just like it admitting to both parties that you're
sleeping with you. No, you just break up with one
(41:03):
of them and then you know and then keep the
other one. You know she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
That's the past.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That's the past. What are we doing on the past?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
You keeps for other people? You know, some people are
fine to be like, you know what, date other people.
I'll date to the people and then we're gonna just
we'll figure out if we're right for each other, Like,
why not be transparent? It's one thing I guess it's
like it's so nuanced, right, because if you're in a relationship,
like let's say for a few months, and then you
meet somebody else and you start dating them, that's cheating. Yeah,
(41:33):
that's cheating. The dating to people being transparent is you
know dating.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Well, CC she was lucky in this because when this
whole little love triangle started, remember she was trying to
marry Sharron, so she was literally at a wedding, her
own wedding, and all of a sudden, she expects this
man to just drop everything that he had going on,
and all of a sudden just be like, I'm gonna
drop this other woman because now you're single. You he's
(41:59):
the rebound, and we know what happens in rebound scenarios.
It doesn't work out because the moment you found out
he was cheating, guess what, you had another man coming
out of your apartment.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
You know what's really funny, As everybody says that this
storyline for Max was super problematic and it almost like
derailed Schmidt and it could have really hurt the series, right,
and somehow it all bounced back and it was fine.
It was like, no big deal. But I was always like, man,
there probably are some crazy people out there that are
like team Schmidt, and we just found one just off
(42:29):
n for Schmidt. No, I'm just I'm not wrong. I'm
not wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
No, I'm not on board with him cheating. I'm on
board with him fixing it the way he wants to
fix it. As long as he fixed it fixed.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
He didn't fix it, he did.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We look at it.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
We go back.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
No, we we go to seasons. We go to season seven,
and we realize you guys are married and have.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Children eventually, eventually the grace of sick. All right, double dates?
How do we feel about them? Is there anything worse
than having to go on a double date with a
couple you don't like? Can I just say something? Here's
the worst version of a double date? Okay, the worst
to me, the worst version of a double date is
(43:10):
you're with your partner, okay, and then your guy for you,
your girl like finds a bro that he's like, this
guy's the coolest, he's amazing. We should go to dinner. Okay,
So you're a partner now is going to have like
the greatest dinner because they're with their boy and you.
(43:30):
But for me, now I'm stuck with you, who are
super distracted to be hanging out of dinner with your
guy friend and some rando that I have to get
to know. And it's so weird to be on a
blind date with another woman and you're just like, ah.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
But all relationships get formed, you have to meet people
for the first time.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Uh you'd look for I always call it like like
the unicorn couple, where like the women get on, the
men get on, or the whatever, the men all get on,
whatever it is, whatever you look like in your relationship,
but everybody knows each other and it's like, that's my person.
I get them. It is the worst when it's just
your partner likes the you know the other person, and
then you're stuck with their spouse and you don't get on.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, no, no, I can.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
I can get it in that situation before. It's yeah,
but it's weird.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, I've been in a situation. Yeah, Like just like
you said, it's it's when she does it, you know
what I mean. I have to I have to suck
it up and be like, yeah, I'm gonna go meet
this random dude and try to be friends with him
while you, you know, talk about girls stuff, talk about love islands,
you know what I mean. And we talk about it
a lot, I know you do. And the Bachelor and
(44:40):
the Bachelorrette and the Golden Bachelor. What quality program it's not.
I mean, it's on air, so people still love it.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
And I.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Know the Golden Bachelor's starring people who are ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
That's right, that's where they ended up. They ran out
of people. They these all people.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Island called Geriatric Island, a bunch of walkers, just as
TV is going around everywhere because the old people, they
don't wear condoms.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
It's great, disgusting. I love It's so down for it. Okay,
it's weird. Double dates can be weird.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Double days can be weird. Now, the double dates that
I find weird is if you you go on a
double date with someone and then you realize that they
want more than the double date, like they're trying to
they're trying to swap. They're trying to swap.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Oh a swap or a swing.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't do that.
I can't, thank you. You know.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Also, like if you don't want them right now? Why
would I want them?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Trying to get rid of her bro I don't I mean.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
You want him because I want them to. But why
don't you want that?
Speaker 3 (45:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Thank you bye bye?
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Yeah, not for me, not for me.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Not for me either, No thank you.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Fun fact they swing a lot in my treoll. Moving
on the punch, the junk punch on Jake Hannah. We
talked about this earlier, but did you practice that? You
know what I mean? How many takes do you remember doing?
Speaker 1 (46:12):
They asked me, They were like, do you want the stunt?
People were there, They're like, do you want us to
show you? This is how you fake it out? I
was like, I got it. I think that's why Jake
was like, look up please, I don't know if she's
got it.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, trust hand around, you're junk. She likes the punch.
She liked a couples of Sara. She likes to punch.
