Speaker 1 (00:17):
Today we're doing the Mars landing recap and we will
get into it deep into this episode. But true, I
don't know if you felt the same way when I
was watching it, but it brings back any bad decision
you've made.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
When you were hungover. Oh yeah, Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You watch it and you're like, this is one very
good episode, no surprise because it was written by Josh
Malmouth and Nina Pedrad and directed by Lynn Shelton. So
it's like the Holy Trinity was around this very key
episode of how do they break up and why.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They like to drink? They like to get out very
often their method right the next day. They'd come into
set the next day and honestly, I tell you, it
looked like they've been out. It looked like they hadn't
gone home yet. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's the only way to do it. If you got
to write an episode about it, you gotta live it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
You got to be it look ran through. So let's
dive into it, shall we. Yeah, let's go after a
wild and booze field night of playing true American Nick
and just clash over the destruction.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's I'm stupid, No, but you know, what that was.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That was actually like true of what happens the destruction
of their futures.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, I said distraction though, well they.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Were distracted too because they were hungover. I'm still with
this recap.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Okay, fine, well let's just keep it going, Nick and
just clash over the distraction, uh, destruction and also the
direction of their futures or lack of futures. Is a
long haul truck driver living on really next plan? Quite possibly? Yes. Meanwhile,
(02:04):
when a hot new neighbor moves into the building, Winston,
Schmidt and Coach agree to let the best man win.
Sex blinks, pounding backets, steadying abroad, mirrors are all on
the table. Lastly, CC's relationship with Buster, Oh, it's in
jeopardy after drunkenly sending him some risque cat slash human pictures.
(02:25):
Who will people? Right then? And we are back as
you said, Hannah. Directed by the great Lynn Shelton, written
by Josh Malmoth and Nina Pedrad, the drunkest of our writers.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's with such a perfect episode I realized for Lynn
to do because she's an incredible film director, and I
feel like this had such a cinematic quality to it.
This the wheels falling off and the storytelling and the
capturing of comedy and the humanity and the relatability, and
it was just written so beautifully by josh Anina and
(03:12):
then Lynn taking that kind of lens on it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It was perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It was just a great I honestly not seen it
since it aired, and I was like, Wow, this is
one for the ages.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Same here, same here. Now we start up, obviously by
playing True American, which is there it's their way into alcoholism.
I do love the fact that this It's like, we
could have used any other situation to have the hangover
be to the fate, but they're like True American.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's like, of course, I mean he worked, Nix works
at a bar. Yes, there's other paths to have this happen.
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What's also funny is that I remember in our final
season or second to final season, feeling really down because
I was like, I never shot True American, and I
was like, that's such a like everybody else has. It
seems like the most fun shooting days.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I was on the show but also a fan of
the show, and I was like, man, it's so weird
that I never got to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And then I watched this episode and I was like, girl,
you did true American.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I even forgot it while we were, I guess well
making this show. I was laughing when I saw myself
when they did that wide thing, and I was like,
holy shit, there I am doing True American.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I think that was. I could be wrong, which I'm
very rare that coach that was. Was that his first
time playing true American.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
For sure, because we didn't do it any other time
in season three and his only other episode is the pilot.
So Damon and I once again in the same moat,
same vibe.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But here's the thing, just like we spoke about earlier,
the worst part of having a night out is having
responsibility the next day and just wakes up in the
morning with everyone in her bed.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Do you remember also when we shot that, we all
had to then stay there frozen in position, and the
photographer went up and got on like a huge ladder
and did an overhead shot of us there because they
were thinking of using that as like some key art.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Did they ever use that as some key art?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
No, but that picture does exist.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I think maybe they just used it as like in
like the press catalog of like they would send out.
But I remember we all had to be like they
were positioning as in all sorts of weird parts on
the bed, on the floor, half on the bed, holding
a record, touching each other, not touching each other, because
it was not only a shot in the show, but
it was going to be used for press.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Huh. Well, you know, fans, if you're listening, please tag
us in that photo you find it fris Yeah, the
New Girl Org bedshot.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But that's what we were all saying.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We're like, why would there's so many bedrooms, there's couches.
Why are we all in bed together? What are we
saying about this show? That's exactly what the conversation we
all had because we aught to all awkwardly. They were like, okay,
you know, Max, put your hand on like you know.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Jake's thigh. You know, We're like, what are we doing?
What is this press shot?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I remember that they won't they that the real will
they won't.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
They the sexual tension?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Mm hmm, all right, okay, cut to the next morning
disaster worst hangover. Also, I know that feeling you reach
for the glass of water knock it over.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What a nightmare?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very related that's why I
don't reach for glasses of water anymore. I got one
of those helmets the water bottles attached to it, and
not go to sleep in that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I thought you were going to say, what one of
those ham stir ones on section cups on your headboard
and just.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That's a good one. I should I should probably probably
invest in that. Yeah, you know, uh.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
A helmet.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No. I love being held with the pads on the
inside and the next support you just like cocoon.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
We're never going to get through this episode, but just
in case.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I fall out of the bed, you know, can move along.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, it's such a good episode. So many good things happened.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I mean, we have like another huge film star in
this episode.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I mean, there's so much to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, oh yes, okay. So here's the dilemma though. The
dilemma is that, uh he gets a call from Sadie,
and Sadie says Sadi right, yeah, well Sadie.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
June Dian Raphael calls Jess and says, it's my baby's birthday,
turning one, So where are you at the craziest moment
of that is when they cut to June AKA say and.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She dresses soon and she goes, this is a private
resident who you I was like a man just walked
off the street at your job's birthday.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And then we cut back. We go back to Schmidt
coach in Winston. So they walk into the loft after
grabbing coffee and then having met their new neighbors, and
we flashed back. The two girls introduced themselves and then
Schmid drops his bagel out of his mouth. Now who
do we have in this one? We have Alexandra di Dario.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, and isn't it Stevie Nelson? Am I right?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Nelson? I believe so?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Two beautiful, funny, smart, talented actresses.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh yeah, that this was this was a I just
remember this being a big deal and all of the
guys trying to be really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In real life.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
In real life, let's trying to just be like off camera,
like just talking shop, like you know what, what's it
like working at this? You know what I mean, just
trying to like Smolt wasn't working at all, And our
energies actually came through as characters.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, what's funny is that usually Zoe or myself are
part of those scenes and so on and off camera
we're there to make fun of you, guys. I can't
imagine all of you guys getting to be together, number one,
and then having these talented women that you have to
hang out with all day and no sisters there to
(09:38):
just make fun of you the entire time.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Now. Now, my favorite, my favorite line and his whole
moment is when Damon Damon walks in with his shades
on and he goes, he goes, I have these he
goes on the body told me that these women's I
still would still wearing these women's sunglasses. I look like
(10:04):
Magic Johnson's son e J. That was funny because we
had been we had Max had just met Ej at
a at a party and he talked about like it
was like this big thing they all and they all
had a big conversation, and then Max or or or
tests was mentioning to EJ, oh my son, Yeah, he's
(10:25):
on the show. I mean my my, my husband, he's
on that show and his and he's he's that show
New Girl. And all of a sudden, Max ears, oh,
I know that show, and then so we we all
we all like, oh my god, I can't wait to
be EJ and I have met I have met me
(10:45):
EJ before. Super cool dude. I just remember it was
so funny because Damon Damon added that himself.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
For sure, it's so funny with Damon.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You can tell because he gets a Damon grint, not
a coach, but a Damon grid on his face where
he's like, I got a funny line, and he'll.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Say it once in one take, and then that's the
one that they use, but it's just Damon going, I
hope this makes it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh, I know that shall that was so funny. Then
CC comes in and she lets everybody know that she's
deemeddum dumb.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Drunk text this kid. We still have this storyline going.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I love how you're still calling him a kid even
though your care it's very evident you too are in
a relationship a kid.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I again forgot that this relationship lasted more than that
one episode that they made like a meal of it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, and that she was one of those really like
it is.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Like really into him obviously, so strange, there's this show
takes some strange turns sometimes. And also what she wrote,
I can't ever imagine like CC writing, but I can't
imagine most people of their drunk and really into somebody
(12:03):
saying those crazy things.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh, I mean I missed the way your hands smell.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Maybe they had a moment like it was an inside thing, like.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You know, knuckles, knuckles, that's the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Way your knuckle smell is very buddy.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Little palm sniffer. Now the boys are having a bit
of a dilemma because they feel like their intro wasn't
the best, so they need a way to reintroduce themselves
to the new neighbors properly. This time Winston is suggesting
I thought was I personally think it was a brilliant suggestion.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's brilliant help them move.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Of course, you look strong, you're being chivalrous, you're being kind,
you're putting yourself out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
They shoot it down because they're haters, hating ass haters.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I don't even know why they shot it down.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Because it was Winston supposed to be a three man race.
They were like, no, no, it's a two man race.
Whence it never gets taken seriously, never.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
True, true.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But this was a great idea. It was very smart
and made sense. Also, it wasn't like a crazy thing.
It's sort of like an obvious moment the girls are
carrying things up from a truck. Also, how are they
going to carry those big heavy things anyway?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
They didn't have.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I was just about to say, hell, first of all,
who put them on the truck? And why did that
person put them on the truck and then stop their
job afterwards? That big ass loft that they're moving into
is not cheap, which tells me even though there's three,
Even though there's three, that means you're still making enough
money to hire somebody just for the move for Yeah,
(13:47):
I don't like it. You know what I thought, You
know what I thought about the whole time those girls
were plotting on us dudes, saying, how do we get
those dudes to like look at us?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And they just like kick their movers to the curb
after they spotted the boys. This makes more sense than
with a scenario that was there, because.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I've been in that scenario a million times. You know,
I'm walking down the street a lovely young ladies moving
into her new apartment and she's like, help me, help me.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
She's got a queen bed on her back.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, and I'm just like, go help this woman. Now
we date for a few weeks, you know how it.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Is for sure. It happens to me all the time.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Put it in the comments below. If you've ever been
walking down the street somebody asked you to help them move,
and then you help them move and date for a
few weeks.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
This is like, I think we've talked about this on
the podcast before. How I moved apartments and then I
was like, I just like asked a bunch of people.
A bunch of us were all like hanging out at
a bar one night and it was friends and friends
of friends, and I was like, I need help moving.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And then like the.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Next day, like eight dudes showed up at my apartment
and helped me move the apartment.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And at the end, I was like, thanks, be honest.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Anes, Hannah, which one did you let's stay none.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I was just like thank you, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And then my girlfriends who are also there, were like,
you know, nobody wanted to help you move, right, I
was like what I was.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like, I thought they were just everybody's being really nice.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
There is a naivete that happened. When I first moved
to LA I was just thinking.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Can I came from Canada.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I was just like, everybody's so nice here, Yeah, Canadians
are really nice as the newest state.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That's why y'all want to just nice people have to
come in this country.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Let's just take them. I know. Oh gosh, I wish
don't you start?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So you start.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Canada is such a beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I okay, okay, So when they're so so now we're back.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We're back with Nick and Jess and they're about to leave.
They're about to leave. Jess as trying to get you know, dressed.
She gets really emotional because he tells her to put
his shirt on. It's a really funny moment.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It's also sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I thought she was gonna get mad because he threw
like a dumb shirt. She's standing there in like a
bikini top. But instead it's like.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
A sweet moment.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Or she's just like I could do it without you,
And I was like, oh, this is really again. I
didn't know that this episode was about a breakup because
I didn't remember what it was about.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So I'm like, oh, this is so sweet. They're so
good together.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. But in typical Nick fashion,
he hadn't put the toy together. Actually it's not even
typical Nick fashion. Laziness is Nick fashion. Yeah, he loves
putting stuff together. I'm actually shocked that he had such
a hard time putting together this toy, which is.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well, he's hungover. When you're hungover, it's you can't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
But I can tell you exactly what it is. Two
people I know like this my brother Yeah and Kyle,
my brother, my boy Kyle. Whenever they're like putting something together, Yeah,
whether it's ikea or a gift or whatever it is,
the the damn instructions are sitting right there. They're not
(17:16):
looking at it got you. They're just like, hold on,
this is not a competition. Who can put it together?
About that? Look at the damn instructions. It should be Basically, those.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Are also the people because I know these people. Those
are all the people that like at the end, there's
like fifteen screws leftover and they're like, oh, they're just extra.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They give you extras. No, they're not extra. And I
don't want to sit in that chair now.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, somebody will die in that chair.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Also, I just would like to say another little weird
plot thing in this episode where I was like who
and like if I've been doing it wrong my whole
life with children's birthday parties that you are supposed to
like assemble and build the thing when you give it.
Like I loved when Nick goes when you like kind
of like naps at one moment, and he's like, it's
not for.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Me to say.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
What if they want to return the gift.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What if they all want to build it together. What
if they want to save it because the kid got
three hundred gifts and they're saving some for later to
build it is aggressive.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That is aggressive. That's to say you're taking this gift.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's right, This large thing is going in your house. Yeah,
for your one Also, he made a good point where.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He's like it's a one year old.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, they don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They don't care. They got zero gifts, They would have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You know, if you're billing it for your own now,
if it's your own kid's birthday, then yes, or christ yes,
put it together, put a bow on it. Think I've
done that with Lily for like toy cars that she
can drive around in or sure lovely put them together.
You know, have them there waiting for you. Give her
a box. She's going she's gonna what she's gonna do
is see the picture on the box and go open
(18:51):
it and have and then go, wait, what what do
you mean you need an hour and a half two hours?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Or also open it there's nothing inside? Yeah, and then like,
oh no, there's this thing kids don't understand. So now
you got two things, but you've also given me an
empty box.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, that's very weird for a child.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Anyway, this whole thing is basically and I know this
whole episod's about it, but it could have been avoided
because there's some silly choices being made.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Oh but in this moment, they start to get into
an argument based off of you know that you know,
she mentions envisioning Christmas morning with their little guy, and
then that rolls Nick into a spin you know what
I mean, And they're going back and forth. He says
that he says he doesn't want to deal with this
(19:34):
right now, he doesn't want to think about the future
right now, because six hours ago he was lapping cognac
out of Winston's hand. What's funny about that is I
remember that moment.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Do you really? I can imagine he was not happy
to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
No, I mean he didn't care. I was I kept
I kept being like, you know, we got it He's like,
that's fine, I'll do it again, because I don't know,
he's weird, Nick Jake Johnson weird. You know, he really
committed to that for somebody who hates New Girl definitely
and hates the fans, like, he really committed to that bit.
For sure.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I can imagine you guys, like in your eighties on
your respective podcasts, still keeping this bit going, the fake
feud going, is the craziest choice years later.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel can keep their feud going,
this is true. I keep this feud going.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
This is true. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I will also say it's very rare that Nick Miller
gets to be the voice of reason and he keeps flagging, Hey.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We're really hungover. Can we not have the big life
talk right now?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's not that I don't want to have it, it's
just right now, like there's three of you standing in
front of me. Can we just put a pin in
it and get through this kid's birthday? Which is also
fair play to him.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, I was getting annoyed. Listen, all he's doing is
speaking logic, and we know how this goes with men
versus women. Man just the we're just the problem solvers
with the thinkers, men such as myself. You know, we
really get the job done.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And you humble, you stay humble.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Humility, hold on to yeah as been Yeah, smart, very
nice guys.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I think you made my point. Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Moving on, Where were we at now? Okay? Yeah, oh so
coach and Schmidt the chugging water and then c c
asked him about a text that she sent Buster. She
sent him a picture of cats, apparently Winston's idea, but
it turns out be a pick of human men.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What is mad? Says like, what are they sucking on? Crazy?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And then uh and then schmid lets sees you know
that they're trying to the reason they're out there in
the hallway is that they're trying to create an accidental
bumping with the with the new hot neighbors.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I also like this moment because I have had guy
friends insinuate this to me before, back in the day,
where he was.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Just like, get out of here, you'll confuse them.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I can't be standing here talking to a woman when
I'm trying to get with another woman. I'm like, I'm
a great wing woman, bring me along. And my guy
friends are like no, I feel like you've told me
no before. I'm like, oh, come, I'll help you get
the girl, and you're like, no.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Don't they just you you're there. It is not going
to make her feel.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Me and Alicia. That's what happens with us all the time.
That's why you call each other brother and sister, because
when we go out together, people automatically assume. Sure, you
know what I mean, I'm already so intimidating as a man.
Sure when when dudes are trying to like talk to her,
they get intimidated based off my physicality and chery. Sure, sisters,
(23:10):
my little sister, even though she looks older, she's my
little sister.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Even worse though, you really have to go away.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I know, I gotta put the guns down too, because
to getting ready, you know, at the given moment. Hey,
let us take a quick commercial break, and when we
come back, women dive into someone's name. Not like that.
(23:47):
What it was? It was it this episode? I think
it was this episode where Damon we're talking about he's
talking about what do you say something about separation? That
might have been the next episode, that's the next epios,
So I thought it was this one for some reason,
he just I'll set a note to bring it up later. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I love that you're enjoying yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It was so funny that I because it's a bit
that I currently do, and I'm curious is if I'm
curious if I got that from there or have I
always that just a common bit that people do. We'll
get into it. Meanwhile, the New Neighbors, they come out
of the elevator with Winston. He went, he went rogue
and he had to give the guys a little a
(24:33):
little look. Now, what's funny about this. I remember shooting
this episode and I just remember being egged on by
by Damon and Max telling me to grunt even more,
and just so there takes that didn't make it, or
I'm just straight up going like come on, come on now,
come on, come on get it, which just I just
(24:55):
went so far and I'm shocked they dialed it down
to what you saw.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I mean, if that was dialed down, you walked into walls,
you slammed into doors. I was like, it could not
be a worst mover in my life. You were very
vocal the fact if you went bigger than that, that's
really funny.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh yeah, Oh I went I went extreme. I would extreme.
I just kept trying to motivate myself. Come on, come on,
come on baby, come on. Oh my gosh. So we're
still with nick in uh Jess, We're still back in
(25:37):
this in the in the room.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean, this is what's really beautiful about this episode
and the fact that it's a big hungover spiral, right,
is that the setup at the beginning of this episode
is you think they're going to get to this children's
birthday party, and that's where this episode is going to
take you. It's going to take place, and it's just
a beautifully written episode because they never leave the room,
(26:03):
and they just everybody's had that in those relationships where
you're trying to figure out something. You could talk for
twelve hours and you're just not connecting on the thing
and you just can't get out of the moment. And
I love that they just kept it that real to
life of how couples can just get stuck in something
(26:27):
and then they just they're immovable and then everything becomes
about it. Like even when they start to build the gift,
even that is now through this lens of ore, we're
supposed to be life partners or not, like everything. They're
just sucked into it because their brain capacity right now
is at five percent because they're so hungover, probably starving
(26:47):
and dehydrated, and so that's just like it's primal how
they're operating.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, which is strange to me. Somebody should at least
brought them some eggs.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah, it's like somebody throw them a sandwich, a glass
of water.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
No, speaking of food. I love the fact that Nick
says it's something important that he wants to tell Jess
about his future. Part the name of his firstborn child
has to be Reginald Vell Johnson because he lost the
bet to Schmidt. The bet was about flipping a big pancake.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And the giggle that Jake Johnson gives at the end
of it is so funny, and then he reveals how
it actually is a great name compared to the one
he actually lost the bet too, but he managed to
talk himself out of it, which was big ass baby,
I think. And the greatest part two, which you know,
(27:40):
this is why you know Nick and Jess are meant
to be together, is even for the duration of their
fight argument conversation of the episode, she calls her first
born child Reginald like she doesn't even like when she's,
like Reggie said to them, I'm like, this is how
you know they're meant to be together.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
She's not fighting him about the fact that they're gonna
name their kid after the bet.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
They're gonna name their kid after the dad from Family Matters.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, Yeah, it's so good. It's so good, and it's
the it's those little things.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I feel like, is what keeps you, like in the
faith of knowing, Oh, they're gonna be together, because that's
not what she's fighting about about.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
How stupid it is that they're gonna name the child
off the bet. She loves them for it.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Beautiful, that's original. Phil Johnson, good friend of Diddy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Apparently you're gonna have to go to Mars and drive
a track after this episode.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Good lord, didn't I do that? Okay, so so so so.
Now now Winston has forced the guy's hands. So now
they're gonna help move right, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Help they have to otherwise the bad luck.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
That's right, But they're trying to, you know, they're kind
of engaging to see what the situation is. You know.
They learn that one of the neighbors has a boyfriend
who's serving overseas. But Michelle mm hmm, the other neighbor
is single, and the Darius agree, that's right, the Dario's single.
And so the boys are gonna fight.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Over this, and she just have fun right now. That
was the funniest life. Everybody's he joke man.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And that moment when she turns her back and walks
away and the handshakes, No one looks at each other.
They're still looking at her walk away is so good.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Now now we're at the the they're still helping. They're
helping Michelle now unload things out of the U haul
and such a funny lie where she just goes, I
was pregnant once the just And then when she walks away,
Coach says that she gave him a sex blink says, nah, no, no, no,
he has no chance because Coach's chicks look like gremlins.
(29:59):
I just what did he say? Oh? By all my
women look like me?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You also know that's Damon but different shades, but just
like me.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
And then in their back and forth in their argument
are they're arguing, Coach knocks the vase out of Schmid's
handbreaking it, so Schmidt kicks the mirror that Coach is.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Holding the funniest moments. But it's so funny the sabotage.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Oh man. And then they're about to fight, you know,
and then of course Winston he comes in. He breaks
it up because he can't believe they broke Michelle's study
of broad Mirror in her dream.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Veins Charsie knows the stories of all the pieces because
he's in there.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He's what they probably didn't tell you is that they
ended up having they all, you know, Winston in the
two women. They end up never hap That's that's stuff
they cut out the episode. Yeah, that's the HBO version,
cutting room floor right there. Anyway, So now we're back
Nick and Just the are still in this room.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Nick and Just are still in the room, And I
swear it's like such a It's interesting to me because
there's the two points of view.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Is He's going like, why try.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
To plan out our life? That's crazy. Who knows what's
gonna happen? A million things can happen. Why are we
going to obsess over this? And she is like, I
think it's crazy not to plan out every single second.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
There's just two schools of thought, right in a relationship,
plan out every aspect of your life, or don't plan
out every aspect of your life. And now this is
where they're getting caught up because they've found the thing
that they feel like could be a deal breaker.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
He philosophically is against it, she is philosophically for it.
And Nick suggests, like, well, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Break up?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
And he says it so offhand, not as a real thing,
but then it hits her as a new thought. Also
some brilliant acting between the two of them, because he's
not really suggesting it, you know, he's like jump off
a cliff, like that's how he's saying it, but it
hits her as a new thought in her very weakend
hungover state. And then they both kind of take a
(32:16):
breath because they go like, shit, now that's on the table.
M let's just put the kids toy together first and
then we'll think about it. But then the building of
the toy becomes the symbolic of their relationship working or
not working. And again, in the sweetest fashion of this relationship,
you know it they work together so well because he's
(32:38):
referring to all these pieces as their weird shapes, and
they understand each other's socie.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
The pieces, the pieces don't fit, but Jess is constantly
trying to make things work right and it keeps breaking
because of that, you know, forcing it together, and he's
mn to try to band aid the situation. And then
he goes a little bit extreme. He wants to melt
the pieces.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Together, weld the plastic.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
It's gonna weld the plasta together, and does a little
zippo trick, which I know how to do. All men
know how to do it. We get taught that as boys.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It is true. Why do all Q guys know the
zippo trick?
Speaker 1 (33:17):
It is I remember that growing up, the guy with
the zippo, and you're like, that's why. That's why the
guys have spent like a year setting things on fire.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Because he gets so impressed by it. That lighter it.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Is super weird. It felt like Pirro. This is correct,
sa his mam. What was that song that came out
around that time? That's why which one I'm a fire? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I remember that those around that time.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That sounds like it is. It's old.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We're all, okay, you're like, cut that out.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
But the blanket catches on fire. Yeah, And then they
just sit there and watch it like a couple of idiots.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
How do you not immediately notice the smell of burning?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
You know, plants have.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
To you don't even have to, like, well, he knew
the plastic was burning because he said he's melting plastic.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I just assumed that his what do you call it,
a duvet would be made of fully synthetic material moisture.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
But no, he he's watching it. He literally sees it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's just oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Then he realizes because he's trying to say he's like
a responsible person who has his life together. And then
he asked it now, try to spin fast enough to
say he's a human.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Hey, don't that? Why don't don't? Yeah? So, yeah, the
place is on fire. And then the truth comes out
and just just tells Nick that if she were always
honest with him, then they would never stop. Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Nick and Jesser outside they're apologizing because they had to
evacuate the building.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And then Da Dario.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Michelle comes down and see all of her broken stuff.
And this part is why Winston can't close, because you
were doing great.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yea, you have the upper hand.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
So he slaps them. He slaps them both Coach.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And yeah, not the women, sid the boys.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
And he burnts out that everybody here knows the deal
of what's happening here. The boys have been trying to
sex Michelle every which way from Tuesday. He tells her
he's like well to be for a Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
This was the part that he did not need to
say out loud.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
He did crazy which eyes?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
You know that part.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Why he'd had to say that. No, but he's being
at least at least I will say, if she chose,
if she made a decision, then she know who she
was dealing with.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
She knew.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He put it all out there about who he was.
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Exactly he loves witch eyes. And I'm to saying here
right now, Alexandre de Dario definitely has witch eyes in
a good way. In a good way.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
She's mesmerizing. She's a beautiful woman.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, is she single? Ask you for a friend? Not
for me? Do your paparazzi googling thing?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, I'll google it for you.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Uh uh. Anyway, Winston, he does that little thing. I'm
Winston Bishop and I have a job to do. I
didn't like that line, but I said it anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Really, you delivered it with such like conviction.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, I don't I don't know. I don't know. He
didn't like it, but I said it anyway. He loads,
he grabs this big ass armoire or whatever the hell
that thing was, and on his back starts lunging towards
the building. That thing. Okay, So when they set it up,
they like they like get rid of all the thickness
(37:10):
of the wood on the inside. Right, Yeah, so they
make it look like this heavy piece, but it's actually
really thin. Right. They did that for a lot of it.
But it was in order to keep the weight balance
a certain way. They had to keep certain parts of
it heavy. That thing was heavy.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It was also awkward, Like even if it was light
as a feather, it's still an awkward thing because it's
bigger than you.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, it was like to move, but guess what I'll
be in the gym, you know what, to find.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Very strong, very strong.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Then this moment, Oh, I didn't see see the storyline
with cz She decides to call Buster and then he
like comes through the crowd, and I think it's supposed
to be a romantic moment, but it's there's nothing I
mean to me that makes anybody root for this. I
think as a as a as a viewer, when you
(38:08):
watch it, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Huh yeah. I was like, you know what it is?
Maybe I should ask Liz. Maybe it was.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
In terms of like the bigger picture of getting CEC
and Schmidt back together. They needed her to just do
some dumb, weird things too, because Schmid had done so many,
and so maybe they just were like, what's really like
questionable that we can have CCD so we know that
they're meant to be together because they're just dating weird
(38:40):
and doing dumb things.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
I don't know. That's the only way it makes sense
in my brain, because I forget.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I get me, y'all. I hate to say it this way.
Please don't judge me. All the fans out there, Hannah, Joelle,
let's call, please don't judge me. But every character on
this show, besides Winston awesome hoes.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
You like, Winston wants to be a hoe.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
But he's not because he's got integrity. You guys are like, oh,
I broke up. I must go out and gate children.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Winsley has no game in a crazy way, because this
show did set it up for everybody to go out
and have a good time, and the fact that they
made your character trait just no game.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
When also you were the only for a while in
real life, like single person on our show, like in
real life, like would have been great to meet some
actresses as you're shooting connect at work, little office romance,
and you were not really put in that position.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
No, they they did me a disservice. And I've always
said this to Liz. I've always said this about Liz,
is that Liz ruined my love life. I was always
at work. I was at work fourteen hours a.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Day, right, and they gave you a cat?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.
Definitely dated multiple women at Fox in the offices that
work somewhere else. Do you know what I'm saying, But
didn't date that actresses because they didn't give me none
to date.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
You got a cat. It's pretty sweet.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Love me some no no.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Oh this Then this heartbreaking moment, heartbreaking, We go back
to the laft. Jess tells Nick she doesn't want to
fight me more. Nick asks if she ever just misses
being friends and they didn't have to pretend to be
people that they aren't, and then she says this line,
(40:42):
what if loving each other is the only thing they
have in common? And it's that It was not like
an old like Patti Smith song of like sometimes love
just isn't enough or something like that. It's like a
very famous lyric that I can't remember right now.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Turner, what's love got to do with it?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Not? Well, that's different, that's the opposite of it.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
But there's a song of about like sometimes love just
isn't enough. Basically, that's all you have and you have
nothing else in common? How are you ever gonna make
it work? But I feel like as you live life longer,
you realize that is actually it, because if you really
love somebody, you will you'll bend for each other, you know,
(41:25):
like you'll make things work. And so oh, it's just
like you're just watching like a young couple who have
everything fight about things that they can adjust on with time.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I got so sad.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, And then they have that moment that's like cooler
when she walks across the hall and then they come
back and they have this now breakup embrace with the
same emotional intensity and reaction I think from the audience,
and it's so sad.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Oh yeah, it was beautiful. It was beautiful. It wasn't
sad for me because I you know, I had read
future scripts.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You're like, I know the formula of comedy, and I
felt fine.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
My favorite is when Schmid pops back out of the room.
It says he doesn't he doesn't know why, just is
weirded out by a man doing downward dug in the nude.
It's just a couple of testicles.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I was like, this is why this is the button
on this episode.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
So funny.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
And you can watch Max's face. He loved delivering those lines.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
He was so happy. Well, yeah, let us go to
a quick break. This one's gonna be short, you guys,
I promise it's gonna be short. We're gonna sell you
some car insurance and then come back. We're gonna messing
around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
And beautiful.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Thank you for saying so. That means a lot. Let's
mess around, Hannah. Let's go are their actual rules to
true American We have.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Gotten this question since the show came out.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
This is the most common. It's either what's it like
working with Zoe? That was always the big when we
first started.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Are you friends in real life?
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yeah? And then you know, what are the rules of
True American? These newer generations are picking it up, so
the question keeps popping up because they're actually playing this game,
which means the future of our great nation is filled
with alcoholics. New Girl has ruined the newer generation.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's all New Girl's fault.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Screwed weave.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
You go back to the beginning of this podcast, we
had Leslie wake Webster on who she in season one
brought True American to the show because it was a
game that her and some friends played in college that
they made up, and so she pitched it in the
(44:02):
writer's room and a kind of you know, caught wind.
And there are no rules, no rules, have fun, love history,
get drunk.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
The only but the only, the only rule slash non
rule that I would enforce is that the floor is
lava for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
And how you start the game?
Speaker 3 (44:22):
Yeah on two, three, Okay, gotta do itta.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Gotta do it. So there's some loose guidelines.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Also, it's kind of play True American out there. If
you're going to have a big sponsored game or something
something crazy with a lot of young single women in
their thirties or forties, some fifties, maybe late late twenties
as well.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
And don't you the late sixties?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know, you never know. Suans
random want to pop up. Susans random want to pop up?
I might pop up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Hey, when we started this podcast, every single question and
circled back to how we're going to get you to
meet the lady of your life. And I told you
this year is the year. I have a feeling this
year is the year. So yeah, we should start bringing
every question. We should sit and keep the vibes going out.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
Yeah, so if you're doing it, you know, please shoot
us a note, shoot us a message, Please invite us.
Me and Hannah will be there, wasted out of our mind.
We ain't got families to go home to.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Oh what's the best excuse you've made up to get
out of helping a friend move. Anybody who knows me
you'll know this. So I would say this is a
big difference in who we are as people, but also
why our friendship works.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
You and I.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
You are a shower upper. You show up for people
all the time. It is one of the gifts of
being a friend with you. You're incredible. Anyone I know
who knows you is like Laurn's the best. He's the
only person who came out, who showed up. He always
does your so love that way. I, on.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
The other hand, a horrible person. Never show up me.
But here's the rule of it, and this is why
it is still kind. It is consistent.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yes, I don't show up to anything for anyone ever,
because I'm a very introverted house cat, and because I
tell the truth, which is I love you so so, so, so,
so so much. You can come to my house any
single time. The door is always open twenty four to seven,
no problem. But no, I'm not driving to Santa Monica
to go to your thirty sixth birthday mixer at a
(46:35):
bar at eleven pm. Listen, No, and I love you
so much, but I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Well, you know a couple you know, there's a couple
of things that I do. My favorite, my favorite that
I go to is I go somebody died. I wish
I could, I wish I could help you.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
So if you don't show up, you will make up
a lie.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
Well here's the thing. Well, a lie and then a
truth and then like a truth with a caveat got
So I'll say somebody died. That's not a lie. Somebody
somewhere died and true, my god, and I was just
they say, who died. I don't want to get into
it right now, but today is not a good day
for me, and around the world somebody every second, someone's
(47:18):
passing away.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Hopefully it's not to anybody. I know everybody have health everywhere.
But that's that's that, that's the excuse. The problem is
I'll forget that I said.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
And they send flowers, or they go like.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Hey, man, you know my condolence is who died. I'd
be like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (47:40):
To get help when you move? Oh, my bad.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
So you're a good person but a liar.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I'm a bad person, but I tell the truth when
it comes to showing up right.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
But or I'll say, you know what, I can't help
you move. How about this? Get movers And they go, man,
I ain't got the cash. Boom check your van, wock movers, vemo.
It'll relieve stress for everybody. You ain't got to. Because
here's what I hate. Here's what I don't hate to
have happened. You asked a bunch of people to move
(48:10):
and then you post on Instagram. You move them by yourself,
You sub dudes you met on the street because none
of your friends showed up out because nobody wants to
help people move, just nobody wants to do that. So
I just offer a few hundred bucks to get somebody else.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
To cut very kind.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Yeah, go there you go.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
You know, I guess it's more of a mail request
because no one's ever asked me to help them move.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
Yeah, what are you gonna do? Like label the boxes?
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
I'll just sit there cry over their baby photos.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
No, my sister, Oh my god. When i'm when i'm
the I get the most help. Though. When I am
when I am ready to move, by help, Bye bye bye.
My close friends helping me pack. Sure, they box stuff
up like organizers in here, they take label you know.
That's that's that's the part that I need because I
know I can just have some people like you know,
big strong guys, including myself, move, But I don't know
(49:02):
what's in those boxes, so labelers.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah, that is helpful.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
And let me ask you a question. You ever struggled
and then eventually just gave up on putting together a
toy your kids have gotten as a gift.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Have I ever struggled to put a gift together? I
will say this.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
Once I went past a shop window. There was a
very elaborate dollhouse in the window, and I said, I
liked about the cell house, and they said it's this
is the last one left. And I said, okay, perfect right,
because it's already assembled, brilliant, brought it home, didn't like it.
(49:45):
I went to return it. It was like one hundred dollars.
I went to return it and the guy said, no,
you can't return it because it's assembled.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
Lot mourn.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
This by.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
What a jerk and out of principle. I never shopped
there again.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
Oh my god, you never going back to target you?
Speaker 2 (50:12):
What about you? Have you ever struggled to put a
toy together?
Speaker 3 (50:15):
If I brought this laptop out to the side of
my house, there is there is an old toy car
that is now just sitting on the side of my house.
So if anybody comes to my house they want it,
it is not put together. It is not difficult. What
happened was is that multiple people brought my daughter the
exact same gift. I put together one of them. Sure,
(50:37):
And then when I started opening more presents for her.
I see the exact same one I just put together.
And it wasn't until I really I took it out
of the box before I realized what was happening. Hmmm,
and then I just said it on the side of
the house, when uh do we doing it out? Like
the gardeners came in, they were cleaning stuff up. They
took it out of the box and threw the box
(51:01):
away in the recycling bind and left the toy like
the pieces, in a bag on the side of the house.
So now it's just sitting there and she's been there
since last year, and I have it.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
I was gonna say, what a good regift you could
give that someone else, But now you can't do it.
It's in a trash bag, just pieces.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
Yeah, I mean that thing's been here. I mean literally,
she's she'll be five this year. That toy was from
I mean, it's a while ago. It's from the house
before this house. I ended up bring it anyway, it
was a long.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Story, hysterical.
Speaker 3 (51:35):
Next to you, Yeah, that's it, But I put I put.
Let me tell you something. I put together the gifts
for my kids, even though even when my daughter doesn't
want to play with them, I keep them and then
I play with them myself a little basketball. Look at
that little right there, buckets, buckets all day. I put
(51:57):
that together quickly. That's our show.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
We got to talk about next week because next week.

Our theme song was written and composed by Ronald Jukebox Jackson,
Catch You Next Time.
Speaker 3 (53:29):
Bye,
Today we're doing the Mars landing recap and we will
get into it deep into this episode. But true, I
don't know if you felt the same way when I
was watching it, but it brings back any bad decision
you've made.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
When you were hungover. Oh yeah, Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You watch it and you're like, this is one very
good episode, no surprise because it was written by Josh
Malmouth and Nina Pedrad and directed by Lynn Shelton. So
it's like the Holy Trinity was around this very key
episode of how do they break up and why.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
They like to drink? They like to get out very
often their method right the next day. They'd come into
set the next day and honestly, I tell you, it
looked like they've been out. It looked like they hadn't
gone home yet. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's the only way to do it. If you got
to write an episode about it, you gotta live it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
You got to be it look ran through. So let's
dive into it, shall we. Yeah, let's go after a
wild and booze field night of playing true American Nick
and just clash over the destruction.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's I'm stupid, No, but you know, what that was.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That was actually like true of what happens the destruction
of their futures.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, I said distraction though, well they.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Were distracted too because they were hungover. I'm still with
this recap.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Okay, fine, well let's just keep it going, Nick and
just clash over the distraction, uh, destruction and also the
direction of their futures or lack of futures. Is a
long haul truck driver living on really next plan? Quite possibly? Yes. Meanwhile,
(02:04):
when a hot new neighbor moves into the building, Winston,
Schmidt and Coach agree to let the best man win.
Sex blinks, pounding backets, steadying abroad, mirrors are all on
the table. Lastly, CC's relationship with Buster, Oh, it's in
jeopardy after drunkenly sending him some risque cat slash human pictures.
(02:25):
Who will people? Right then? And we are back as
you said, Hannah. Directed by the great Lynn Shelton, written
by Josh Malmoth and Nina Pedrad, the drunkest of our writers.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's with such a perfect episode I realized for Lynn
to do because she's an incredible film director, and I
feel like this had such a cinematic quality to it.
This the wheels falling off and the storytelling and the
capturing of comedy and the humanity and the relatability, and
it was just written so beautifully by josh Anina and
(03:12):
then Lynn taking that kind of lens on it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It was perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It was just a great I honestly not seen it
since it aired, and I was like, Wow, this is
one for the ages.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Same here, same here. Now we start up, obviously by
playing True American, which is there it's their way into alcoholism.
I do love the fact that this It's like, we
could have used any other situation to have the hangover
be to the fate, but they're like True American.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's like, of course, I mean he worked, Nix works
at a bar. Yes, there's other paths to have this happen.
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What's also funny is that I remember in our final
season or second to final season, feeling really down because
I was like, I never shot True American, and I
was like, that's such a like everybody else has. It
seems like the most fun shooting days.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I was on the show but also a fan of
the show, and I was like, man, it's so weird
that I never got to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And then I watched this episode and I was like, girl,
you did true American.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I even forgot it while we were, I guess well
making this show. I was laughing when I saw myself
when they did that wide thing, and I was like,
holy shit, there I am doing True American.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I think that was. I could be wrong, which I'm
very rare that coach that was. Was that his first
time playing true American.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
For sure, because we didn't do it any other time
in season three and his only other episode is the pilot.
So Damon and I once again in the same moat,
same vibe.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But here's the thing, just like we spoke about earlier,
the worst part of having a night out is having
responsibility the next day and just wakes up in the
morning with everyone in her bed.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Do you remember also when we shot that, we all
had to then stay there frozen in position, and the
photographer went up and got on like a huge ladder
and did an overhead shot of us there because they
were thinking of using that as like some key art.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Did they ever use that as some key art?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
No, but that picture does exist.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I think maybe they just used it as like in
like the press catalog of like they would send out.
But I remember we all had to be like they
were positioning as in all sorts of weird parts on
the bed, on the floor, half on the bed, holding
a record, touching each other, not touching each other, because
it was not only a shot in the show, but
it was going to be used for press.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Huh. Well, you know, fans, if you're listening, please tag
us in that photo you find it fris Yeah, the
New Girl Org bedshot.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
But that's what we were all saying.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We're like, why would there's so many bedrooms, there's couches.
Why are we all in bed together? What are we
saying about this show? That's exactly what the conversation we
all had because we aught to all awkwardly. They were like, okay,
you know, Max, put your hand on like you know.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Jake's thigh. You know, We're like, what are we doing?
What is this press shot?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I remember that they won't they that the real will
they won't.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
They the sexual tension?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Mm hmm, all right, okay, cut to the next morning
disaster worst hangover. Also, I know that feeling you reach
for the glass of water knock it over.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What a nightmare?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very related that's why I
don't reach for glasses of water anymore. I got one
of those helmets the water bottles attached to it, and
not go to sleep in that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I thought you were going to say, what one of
those ham stir ones on section cups on your headboard
and just.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That's a good one. I should I should probably probably
invest in that. Yeah, you know, uh.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
A helmet.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No. I love being held with the pads on the
inside and the next support you just like cocoon.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
We're never going to get through this episode, but just
in case.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I fall out of the bed, you know, can move along.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, it's such a good episode. So many good things happened.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I mean, we have like another huge film star in
this episode.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I mean, there's so much to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, oh yes, okay. So here's the dilemma though. The
dilemma is that, uh he gets a call from Sadie,
and Sadie says Sadi right, yeah, well Sadie.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
June Dian Raphael calls Jess and says, it's my baby's birthday,
turning one, So where are you at the craziest moment
of that is when they cut to June AKA say and.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She dresses soon and she goes, this is a private
resident who you I was like a man just walked
off the street at your job's birthday.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And then we cut back. We go back to Schmidt
coach in Winston. So they walk into the loft after
grabbing coffee and then having met their new neighbors, and
we flashed back. The two girls introduced themselves and then
Schmid drops his bagel out of his mouth. Now who
do we have in this one? We have Alexandra di Dario.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, and isn't it Stevie Nelson? Am I right?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Nelson? I believe so?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Two beautiful, funny, smart, talented actresses.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh yeah, that this was this was a I just
remember this being a big deal and all of the
guys trying to be really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In real life.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
In real life, let's trying to just be like off camera,
like just talking shop, like you know what, what's it
like working at this? You know what I mean, just
trying to like Smolt wasn't working at all, And our
energies actually came through as characters.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, what's funny is that usually Zoe or myself are
part of those scenes and so on and off camera
we're there to make fun of you, guys. I can't
imagine all of you guys getting to be together, number one,
and then having these talented women that you have to
hang out with all day and no sisters there to
(09:38):
just make fun of you the entire time.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Now. Now, my favorite, my favorite line and his whole
moment is when Damon Damon walks in with his shades
on and he goes, he goes, I have these he
goes on the body told me that these women's I
still would still wearing these women's sunglasses. I look like
(10:04):
Magic Johnson's son e J. That was funny because we
had been we had Max had just met Ej at
a at a party and he talked about like it
was like this big thing they all and they all
had a big conversation, and then Max or or or
tests was mentioning to EJ, oh my son, Yeah, he's
(10:25):
on the show. I mean my my, my husband, he's
on that show and his and he's he's that show
New Girl. And all of a sudden, Max ears, oh,
I know that show, and then so we we all
we all like, oh my god, I can't wait to
be EJ and I have met I have met me
(10:45):
EJ before. Super cool dude. I just remember it was
so funny because Damon Damon added that himself.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
For sure, it's so funny with Damon.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
You can tell because he gets a Damon grint, not
a coach, but a Damon grid on his face where
he's like, I got a funny line, and he'll.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Say it once in one take, and then that's the
one that they use, but it's just Damon going, I
hope this makes it.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh, I know that shall that was so funny. Then
CC comes in and she lets everybody know that she's
deemeddum dumb.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Drunk text this kid. We still have this storyline going.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I love how you're still calling him a kid even
though your care it's very evident you too are in
a relationship a kid.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I again forgot that this relationship lasted more than that
one episode that they made like a meal of it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, and that she was one of those really like
it is.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Like really into him obviously, so strange, there's this show
takes some strange turns sometimes. And also what she wrote,
I can't ever imagine like CC writing, but I can't
imagine most people of their drunk and really into somebody
(12:03):
saying those crazy things.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Oh, I mean I missed the way your hands smell.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Maybe they had a moment like it was an inside thing, like.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
You know, knuckles, knuckles, that's the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Way your knuckle smell is very buddy.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Little palm sniffer. Now the boys are having a bit
of a dilemma because they feel like their intro wasn't
the best, so they need a way to reintroduce themselves
to the new neighbors properly. This time Winston is suggesting
I thought was I personally think it was a brilliant suggestion.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's brilliant help them move.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Of course, you look strong, you're being chivalrous, you're being kind,
you're putting yourself out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
They shoot it down because they're haters, hating ass haters.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I don't even know why they shot it down.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Because it was Winston supposed to be a three man race.
They were like, no, no, it's a two man race.
Whence it never gets taken seriously, never.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
True, true.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But this was a great idea. It was very smart
and made sense. Also, it wasn't like a crazy thing.
It's sort of like an obvious moment the girls are
carrying things up from a truck. Also, how are they
going to carry those big heavy things anyway?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
They didn't have.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I was just about to say, hell, first of all,
who put them on the truck? And why did that
person put them on the truck and then stop their
job afterwards? That big ass loft that they're moving into
is not cheap, which tells me even though there's three,
Even though there's three, that means you're still making enough
money to hire somebody just for the move for Yeah,
(13:47):
I don't like it. You know what I thought, You
know what I thought about the whole time those girls
were plotting on us dudes, saying, how do we get
those dudes to like look at us?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And they just like kick their movers to the curb
after they spotted the boys. This makes more sense than
with a scenario that was there, because.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
I've been in that scenario a million times. You know,
I'm walking down the street a lovely young ladies moving
into her new apartment and she's like, help me, help me.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
She's got a queen bed on her back.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, and I'm just like, go help this woman. Now
we date for a few weeks, you know how it.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Is for sure. It happens to me all the time.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Put it in the comments below. If you've ever been
walking down the street somebody asked you to help them move,
and then you help them move and date for a
few weeks.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
This is like, I think we've talked about this on
the podcast before. How I moved apartments and then I
was like, I just like asked a bunch of people.
A bunch of us were all like hanging out at
a bar one night and it was friends and friends
of friends, and I was like, I need help moving.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
And then like the.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Next day, like eight dudes showed up at my apartment
and helped me move the apartment.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
And at the end, I was like, thanks, be honest.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Anes, Hannah, which one did you let's stay none.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I was just like thank you, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And then my girlfriends who are also there, were like,
you know, nobody wanted to help you move, right, I
was like what I was.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like, I thought they were just everybody's being really nice.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
There is a naivete that happened. When I first moved
to LA I was just thinking.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Can I came from Canada.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I was just like, everybody's so nice here, Yeah, Canadians
are really nice as the newest state.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That's why y'all want to just nice people have to
come in this country.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Let's just take them. I know. Oh gosh, I wish
don't you start?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So you start.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Canada is such a beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I okay, okay, So when they're so so now we're back.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We're back with Nick and Jess and they're about to leave.
They're about to leave. Jess as trying to get you know, dressed.
She gets really emotional because he tells her to put
his shirt on. It's a really funny moment.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It's also sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I thought she was gonna get mad because he threw
like a dumb shirt. She's standing there in like a
bikini top. But instead it's like.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
A sweet moment.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Or she's just like I could do it without you,
And I was like, oh, this is really again. I
didn't know that this episode was about a breakup because
I didn't remember what it was about.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So I'm like, oh, this is so sweet. They're so
good together.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. But in typical Nick fashion,
he hadn't put the toy together. Actually it's not even
typical Nick fashion. Laziness is Nick fashion. Yeah, he loves
putting stuff together. I'm actually shocked that he had such
a hard time putting together this toy, which is.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well, he's hungover. When you're hungover, it's you can't.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
But I can tell you exactly what it is. Two
people I know like this my brother Yeah and Kyle,
my brother, my boy Kyle. Whenever they're like putting something together, Yeah,
whether it's ikea or a gift or whatever it is,
the the damn instructions are sitting right there. They're not
(17:16):
looking at it got you. They're just like, hold on,
this is not a competition. Who can put it together?
About that? Look at the damn instructions. It should be Basically, those.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Are also the people because I know these people. Those
are all the people that like at the end, there's
like fifteen screws leftover and they're like, oh, they're just extra.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They give you extras. No, they're not extra. And I
don't want to sit in that chair now.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, somebody will die in that chair.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Also, I just would like to say another little weird
plot thing in this episode where I was like who
and like if I've been doing it wrong my whole
life with children's birthday parties that you are supposed to
like assemble and build the thing when you give it.
Like I loved when Nick goes when you like kind
of like naps at one moment, and he's like, it's
not for.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Me to say.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
What if they want to return the gift.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What if they all want to build it together. What
if they want to save it because the kid got
three hundred gifts and they're saving some for later to
build it is aggressive.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That is aggressive. That's to say you're taking this gift.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's right, This large thing is going in your house. Yeah,
for your one Also, he made a good point where.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He's like it's a one year old.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, they don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They don't care. They got zero gifts, They would have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
You know, if you're billing it for your own now,
if it's your own kid's birthday, then yes, or christ yes,
put it together, put a bow on it. Think I've
done that with Lily for like toy cars that she
can drive around in or sure lovely put them together.
You know, have them there waiting for you. Give her
a box. She's going she's gonna what she's gonna do
is see the picture on the box and go open
(18:51):
it and have and then go, wait, what what do
you mean you need an hour and a half two hours?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Or also open it there's nothing inside? Yeah, and then like,
oh no, there's this thing kids don't understand. So now
you got two things, but you've also given me an
empty box.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, that's very weird for a child.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Anyway, this whole thing is basically and I know this
whole episod's about it, but it could have been avoided
because there's some silly choices being made.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Oh but in this moment, they start to get into
an argument based off of you know that you know,
she mentions envisioning Christmas morning with their little guy, and
then that rolls Nick into a spin you know what
I mean, And they're going back and forth. He says
that he says he doesn't want to deal with this
(19:34):
right now, he doesn't want to think about the future
right now, because six hours ago he was lapping cognac
out of Winston's hand. What's funny about that is I
remember that moment.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Do you really? I can imagine he was not happy
to do it.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
No, I mean he didn't care. I was I kept
I kept being like, you know, we got it He's like,
that's fine, I'll do it again, because I don't know,
he's weird, Nick Jake Johnson weird. You know, he really
committed to that for somebody who hates New Girl definitely
and hates the fans, like, he really committed to that bit.
For sure.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I can imagine you guys, like in your eighties on
your respective podcasts, still keeping this bit going, the fake
feud going, is the craziest choice years later.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel can keep their feud going,
this is true. I keep this feud going.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
This is true. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I will also say it's very rare that Nick Miller
gets to be the voice of reason and he keeps flagging, Hey.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
We're really hungover. Can we not have the big life
talk right now?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It's not that I don't want to have it, it's
just right now, like there's three of you standing in
front of me. Can we just put a pin in
it and get through this kid's birthday? Which is also
fair play to him.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, I was getting annoyed. Listen, all he's doing is
speaking logic, and we know how this goes with men
versus women. Man just the we're just the problem solvers
with the thinkers, men such as myself. You know, we
really get the job done.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And you humble, you stay humble.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Humility, hold on to yeah as been Yeah, smart, very
nice guys.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I think you made my point. Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Moving on, Where were we at now? Okay? Yeah, oh so
coach and Schmidt the chugging water and then c c
asked him about a text that she sent Buster. She
sent him a picture of cats, apparently Winston's idea, but
it turns out be a pick of human men.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What is mad? Says like, what are they sucking on? Crazy?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
And then uh and then schmid lets sees you know
that they're trying to the reason they're out there in
the hallway is that they're trying to create an accidental
bumping with the with the new hot neighbors.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I also like this moment because I have had guy
friends insinuate this to me before, back in the day,
where he was.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Just like, get out of here, you'll confuse them.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I can't be standing here talking to a woman when
I'm trying to get with another woman. I'm like, I'm
a great wing woman, bring me along. And my guy
friends are like no, I feel like you've told me
no before. I'm like, oh, come, I'll help you get
the girl, and you're like, no.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Don't they just you you're there. It is not going
to make her feel.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Me and Alicia. That's what happens with us all the time.
That's why you call each other brother and sister, because
when we go out together, people automatically assume. Sure, you
know what I mean, I'm already so intimidating as a man.
Sure when when dudes are trying to like talk to her,
they get intimidated based off my physicality and chery. Sure, sisters,
(23:10):
my little sister, even though she looks older, she's my
little sister.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Even worse though, you really have to go away.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I know, I gotta put the guns down too, because
to getting ready, you know, at the given moment. Hey,
let us take a quick commercial break, and when we
come back, women dive into someone's name. Not like that.
(23:47):
What it was? It was it this episode? I think
it was this episode where Damon we're talking about he's
talking about what do you say something about separation? That
might have been the next episode, that's the next epios,
So I thought it was this one for some reason,
he just I'll set a note to bring it up later. Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I love that you're enjoying yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It was so funny that I because it's a bit
that I currently do, and I'm curious is if I'm
curious if I got that from there or have I
always that just a common bit that people do. We'll
get into it. Meanwhile, the New Neighbors, they come out
of the elevator with Winston. He went, he went rogue
and he had to give the guys a little a
(24:33):
little look. Now, what's funny about this. I remember shooting
this episode and I just remember being egged on by
by Damon and Max telling me to grunt even more,
and just so there takes that didn't make it, or
I'm just straight up going like come on, come on now,
come on, come on get it, which just I just
(24:55):
went so far and I'm shocked they dialed it down
to what you saw.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I mean, if that was dialed down, you walked into walls,
you slammed into doors. I was like, it could not
be a worst mover in my life. You were very
vocal the fact if you went bigger than that, that's
really funny.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh yeah, Oh I went I went extreme. I would extreme.
I just kept trying to motivate myself. Come on, come on,
come on baby, come on. Oh my gosh. So we're
still with nick in uh Jess, We're still back in
(25:37):
this in the in the room.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I mean, this is what's really beautiful about this episode
and the fact that it's a big hungover spiral, right,
is that the setup at the beginning of this episode
is you think they're going to get to this children's
birthday party, and that's where this episode is going to
take you. It's going to take place, and it's just
a beautifully written episode because they never leave the room,
(26:03):
and they just everybody's had that in those relationships where
you're trying to figure out something. You could talk for
twelve hours and you're just not connecting on the thing
and you just can't get out of the moment. And
I love that they just kept it that real to
life of how couples can just get stuck in something
(26:27):
and then they just they're immovable and then everything becomes
about it. Like even when they start to build the gift,
even that is now through this lens of ore, we're
supposed to be life partners or not, like everything. They're
just sucked into it because their brain capacity right now
is at five percent because they're so hungover, probably starving
(26:47):
and dehydrated, and so that's just like it's primal how
they're operating.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, which is strange to me. Somebody should at least
brought them some eggs.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah, it's like somebody throw them a sandwich, a glass
of water.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
No, speaking of food. I love the fact that Nick
says it's something important that he wants to tell Jess
about his future. Part the name of his firstborn child
has to be Reginald Vell Johnson because he lost the
bet to Schmidt. The bet was about flipping a big pancake.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And the giggle that Jake Johnson gives at the end
of it is so funny, and then he reveals how
it actually is a great name compared to the one
he actually lost the bet too, but he managed to
talk himself out of it, which was big ass baby,
I think. And the greatest part two, which you know,
(27:40):
this is why you know Nick and Jess are meant
to be together, is even for the duration of their
fight argument conversation of the episode, she calls her first
born child Reginald like she doesn't even like when she's,
like Reggie said to them, I'm like, this is how
you know they're meant to be together.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
She's not fighting him about the fact that they're gonna
name their kid after the bet.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
They're gonna name their kid after the dad from Family Matters.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, Yeah, it's so good. It's so good, and it's
the it's those little things.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I feel like, is what keeps you, like in the
faith of knowing, Oh, they're gonna be together, because that's
not what she's fighting about about.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
How stupid it is that they're gonna name the child
off the bet. She loves them for it.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Beautiful, that's original. Phil Johnson, good friend of Diddy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Apparently you're gonna have to go to Mars and drive
a track after this episode.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Good lord, didn't I do that? Okay, so so so so.
Now now Winston has forced the guy's hands. So now
they're gonna help move right, They're gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Help they have to otherwise the bad luck.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
That's right, But they're trying to, you know, they're kind
of engaging to see what the situation is. You know.
They learn that one of the neighbors has a boyfriend
who's serving overseas. But Michelle mm hmm, the other neighbor
is single, and the Darius agree, that's right, the Dario's single.
And so the boys are gonna fight.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Over this, and she just have fun right now. That
was the funniest life. Everybody's he joke man.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And that moment when she turns her back and walks
away and the handshakes, No one looks at each other.
They're still looking at her walk away is so good.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Now now we're at the the they're still helping. They're
helping Michelle now unload things out of the U haul
and such a funny lie where she just goes, I
was pregnant once the just And then when she walks away,
Coach says that she gave him a sex blink says, nah, no, no, no,
he has no chance because Coach's chicks look like gremlins.
(29:59):
I just what did he say? Oh? By all my
women look like me?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You also know that's Damon but different shades, but just
like me.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
And then in their back and forth in their argument
are they're arguing, Coach knocks the vase out of Schmid's
handbreaking it, so Schmidt kicks the mirror that Coach is.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Holding the funniest moments. But it's so funny the sabotage.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Oh man. And then they're about to fight, you know,
and then of course Winston he comes in. He breaks
it up because he can't believe they broke Michelle's study
of broad Mirror in her dream.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Veins Charsie knows the stories of all the pieces because
he's in there.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He's what they probably didn't tell you is that they
ended up having they all, you know, Winston in the
two women. They end up never hap That's that's stuff
they cut out the episode. Yeah, that's the HBO version,
cutting room floor right there. Anyway, So now we're back
Nick and Just the are still in this room.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Nick and Just are still in the room, And I
swear it's like such a It's interesting to me because
there's the two points of view.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Is He's going like, why try.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
To plan out our life? That's crazy. Who knows what's
gonna happen? A million things can happen. Why are we
going to obsess over this? And she is like, I
think it's crazy not to plan out every single second.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
There's just two schools of thought, right in a relationship,
plan out every aspect of your life, or don't plan
out every aspect of your life. And now this is
where they're getting caught up because they've found the thing
that they feel like could be a deal breaker.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
He philosophically is against it, she is philosophically for it.
And Nick suggests, like, well, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Break up?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
And he says it so offhand, not as a real thing,
but then it hits her as a new thought. Also
some brilliant acting between the two of them, because he's
not really suggesting it, you know, he's like jump off
a cliff, like that's how he's saying it, but it
hits her as a new thought in her very weakend
hungover state. And then they both kind of take a
(32:16):
breath because they go like, shit, now that's on the table.
M let's just put the kids toy together first and
then we'll think about it. But then the building of
the toy becomes the symbolic of their relationship working or
not working. And again, in the sweetest fashion of this relationship,
you know it they work together so well because he's
(32:38):
referring to all these pieces as their weird shapes, and
they understand each other's socie.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
The pieces, the pieces don't fit, but Jess is constantly
trying to make things work right and it keeps breaking
because of that, you know, forcing it together, and he's
mn to try to band aid the situation. And then
he goes a little bit extreme. He wants to melt
the pieces.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Together, weld the plastic.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
It's gonna weld the plasta together, and does a little
zippo trick, which I know how to do. All men
know how to do it. We get taught that as boys.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It is true. Why do all Q guys know the
zippo trick?
Speaker 1 (33:17):
It is I remember that growing up, the guy with
the zippo, and you're like, that's why. That's why the
guys have spent like a year setting things on fire.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Because he gets so impressed by it. That lighter it.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Is super weird. It felt like Pirro. This is correct,
sa his mam. What was that song that came out
around that time? That's why which one I'm a fire? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I remember that those around that time.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That sounds like it is. It's old.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We're all, okay, you're like, cut that out.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
But the blanket catches on fire. Yeah, And then they
just sit there and watch it like a couple of idiots.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
How do you not immediately notice the smell of burning?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
You know, plants have.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
To you don't even have to, like, well, he knew
the plastic was burning because he said he's melting plastic.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I just assumed that his what do you call it,
a duvet would be made of fully synthetic material moisture.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
But no, he he's watching it. He literally sees it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's just oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Then he realizes because he's trying to say he's like
a responsible person who has his life together. And then
he asked it now, try to spin fast enough to
say he's a human.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Hey, don't that? Why don't don't? Yeah? So, yeah, the
place is on fire. And then the truth comes out
and just just tells Nick that if she were always
honest with him, then they would never stop. Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Nick and Jesser outside they're apologizing because they had to
evacuate the building.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And then Da Dario.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Michelle comes down and see all of her broken stuff.
And this part is why Winston can't close, because you
were doing great.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yea, you have the upper hand.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
So he slaps them. He slaps them both Coach.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And yeah, not the women, sid the boys.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
And he burnts out that everybody here knows the deal
of what's happening here. The boys have been trying to
sex Michelle every which way from Tuesday. He tells her
he's like well to be for a Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
This was the part that he did not need to
say out loud.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
He did crazy which eyes?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
You know that part.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Why he'd had to say that. No, but he's being
at least at least I will say, if she chose,
if she made a decision, then she know who she
was dealing with.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
She knew.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
He put it all out there about who he was.
That's for sure.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Exactly he loves witch eyes. And I'm to saying here
right now, Alexandre de Dario definitely has witch eyes in
a good way. In a good way.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
She's mesmerizing. She's a beautiful woman.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, is she single? Ask you for a friend? Not
for me? Do your paparazzi googling thing?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, I'll google it for you.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Uh uh. Anyway, Winston, he does that little thing. I'm
Winston Bishop and I have a job to do. I
didn't like that line, but I said it anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Really, you delivered it with such like conviction.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, I don't I don't know. I don't know. He
didn't like it, but I said it anyway. He loads,
he grabs this big ass armoire or whatever the hell
that thing was, and on his back starts lunging towards
the building. That thing. Okay, So when they set it up,
they like they like get rid of all the thickness
(37:10):
of the wood on the inside. Right, Yeah, so they
make it look like this heavy piece, but it's actually
really thin. Right. They did that for a lot of it.
But it was in order to keep the weight balance
a certain way. They had to keep certain parts of
it heavy. That thing was heavy.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It was also awkward, Like even if it was light
as a feather, it's still an awkward thing because it's
bigger than you.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, it was like to move, but guess what I'll
be in the gym, you know what, to find.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Very strong, very strong.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Then this moment, Oh, I didn't see see the storyline
with cz She decides to call Buster and then he
like comes through the crowd, and I think it's supposed
to be a romantic moment, but it's there's nothing I
mean to me that makes anybody root for this. I
think as a as a as a viewer, when you
(38:08):
watch it, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Huh yeah. I was like, you know what it is?
Maybe I should ask Liz. Maybe it was.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
In terms of like the bigger picture of getting CEC
and Schmidt back together. They needed her to just do
some dumb, weird things too, because Schmid had done so many,
and so maybe they just were like, what's really like
questionable that we can have CCD so we know that
they're meant to be together because they're just dating weird
(38:40):
and doing dumb things.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
I don't know. That's the only way it makes sense
in my brain, because I forget.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
I get me, y'all. I hate to say it this way.
Please don't judge me. All the fans out there, Hannah, Joelle,
let's call, please don't judge me. But every character on
this show, besides Winston awesome hoes.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
You like, Winston wants to be a hoe.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
But he's not because he's got integrity. You guys are like, oh,
I broke up. I must go out and gate children.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Winsley has no game in a crazy way, because this
show did set it up for everybody to go out
and have a good time, and the fact that they
made your character trait just no game.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
When also you were the only for a while in
real life, like single person on our show, like in
real life, like would have been great to meet some
actresses as you're shooting connect at work, little office romance,
and you were not really put in that position.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
No, they they did me a disservice. And I've always
said this to Liz. I've always said this about Liz,
is that Liz ruined my love life. I was always
at work. I was at work fourteen hours a.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Day, right, and they gave you a cat?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying.
Definitely dated multiple women at Fox in the offices that
work somewhere else. Do you know what I'm saying, But
didn't date that actresses because they didn't give me none
to date.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
You got a cat. It's pretty sweet.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Love me some no no.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Oh this Then this heartbreaking moment, heartbreaking, We go back
to the laft. Jess tells Nick she doesn't want to
fight me more. Nick asks if she ever just misses
being friends and they didn't have to pretend to be
people that they aren't, and then she says this line,
(40:42):
what if loving each other is the only thing they
have in common? And it's that It was not like
an old like Patti Smith song of like sometimes love
just isn't enough or something like that. It's like a
very famous lyric that I can't remember right now.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Turner, what's love got to do with it?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Not? Well, that's different, that's the opposite of it.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
But there's a song of about like sometimes love just
isn't enough. Basically, that's all you have and you have
nothing else in common? How are you ever gonna make
it work? But I feel like as you live life longer,
you realize that is actually it, because if you really
love somebody, you will you'll bend for each other, you know,
(41:25):
like you'll make things work. And so oh, it's just
like you're just watching like a young couple who have
everything fight about things that they can adjust on with time.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
I got so sad.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, And then they have that moment that's like cooler
when she walks across the hall and then they come
back and they have this now breakup embrace with the
same emotional intensity and reaction I think from the audience,
and it's so sad.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
Oh yeah, it was beautiful. It was beautiful. It wasn't
sad for me because I you know, I had read
future scripts.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You're like, I know the formula of comedy, and I
felt fine.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
My favorite is when Schmid pops back out of the room.
It says he doesn't he doesn't know why, just is
weirded out by a man doing downward dug in the nude.
It's just a couple of testicles.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I was like, this is why this is the button
on this episode.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
So funny.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
And you can watch Max's face. He loved delivering those lines.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
He was so happy. Well, yeah, let us go to
a quick break. This one's gonna be short, you guys,
I promise it's gonna be short. We're gonna sell you
some car insurance and then come back. We're gonna messing
around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
And beautiful.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Thank you for saying so. That means a lot. Let's
mess around, Hannah. Let's go are their actual rules to
true American We have.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Gotten this question since the show came out.
Speaker 3 (43:14):
This is the most common. It's either what's it like
working with Zoe? That was always the big when we
first started.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Are you friends in real life?
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Yeah? And then you know, what are the rules of
True American? These newer generations are picking it up, so
the question keeps popping up because they're actually playing this game,
which means the future of our great nation is filled
with alcoholics. New Girl has ruined the newer generation.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's all New Girl's fault.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Screwed weave.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
You go back to the beginning of this podcast, we
had Leslie wake Webster on who she in season one
brought True American to the show because it was a
game that her and some friends played in college that
they made up, and so she pitched it in the
(44:02):
writer's room and a kind of you know, caught wind.
And there are no rules, no rules, have fun, love history,
get drunk.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
The only but the only, the only rule slash non
rule that I would enforce is that the floor is
lava for sure.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
And how you start the game?
Speaker 3 (44:22):
Yeah on two, three, Okay, gotta do itta.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Gotta do it. So there's some loose guidelines.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Also, it's kind of play True American out there. If
you're going to have a big sponsored game or something
something crazy with a lot of young single women in
their thirties or forties, some fifties, maybe late late twenties
as well.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
And don't you the late sixties?
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean, you know, you never know. Suans
random want to pop up. Susans random want to pop up?
I might pop up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Hey, when we started this podcast, every single question and
circled back to how we're going to get you to
meet the lady of your life. And I told you
this year is the year. I have a feeling this
year is the year. So yeah, we should start bringing
every question. We should sit and keep the vibes going out.
Speaker 3 (45:16):
Yeah, so if you're doing it, you know, please shoot
us a note, shoot us a message, Please invite us.
Me and Hannah will be there, wasted out of our mind.
We ain't got families to go home to.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Oh what's the best excuse you've made up to get
out of helping a friend move. Anybody who knows me
you'll know this. So I would say this is a
big difference in who we are as people, but also
why our friendship works.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
You and I.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
You are a shower upper. You show up for people
all the time. It is one of the gifts of
being a friend with you. You're incredible. Anyone I know
who knows you is like Laurn's the best. He's the
only person who came out, who showed up. He always
does your so love that way. I, on.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
The other hand, a horrible person. Never show up me.
But here's the rule of it, and this is why
it is still kind. It is consistent.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yes, I don't show up to anything for anyone ever,
because I'm a very introverted house cat, and because I
tell the truth, which is I love you so so, so, so,
so so much. You can come to my house any
single time. The door is always open twenty four to seven,
no problem. But no, I'm not driving to Santa Monica
to go to your thirty sixth birthday mixer at a
(46:35):
bar at eleven pm. Listen, No, and I love you
so much, but I'll tell you the truth.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Well, you know a couple you know, there's a couple
of things that I do. My favorite, my favorite that
I go to is I go somebody died. I wish
I could, I wish I could help you.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
So if you don't show up, you will make up
a lie.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
Well here's the thing. Well, a lie and then a
truth and then like a truth with a caveat got
So I'll say somebody died. That's not a lie. Somebody
somewhere died and true, my god, and I was just
they say, who died. I don't want to get into
it right now, but today is not a good day
for me, and around the world somebody every second, someone's
(47:18):
passing away.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
This is true.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Hopefully it's not to anybody. I know everybody have health everywhere.
But that's that's that, that's the excuse. The problem is
I'll forget that I said.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
And they send flowers, or they go like.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Hey, man, you know my condolence is who died. I'd
be like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (47:40):
To get help when you move? Oh, my bad.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
So you're a good person but a liar.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
I'm a bad person, but I tell the truth when
it comes to showing up right.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
But or I'll say, you know what, I can't help
you move. How about this? Get movers And they go, man,
I ain't got the cash. Boom check your van, wock movers, vemo.
It'll relieve stress for everybody. You ain't got to. Because
here's what I hate. Here's what I don't hate to
have happened. You asked a bunch of people to move
(48:10):
and then you post on Instagram. You move them by yourself,
You sub dudes you met on the street because none
of your friends showed up out because nobody wants to
help people move, just nobody wants to do that. So
I just offer a few hundred bucks to get somebody else.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
To cut very kind.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Yeah, go there you go.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
You know, I guess it's more of a mail request
because no one's ever asked me to help them move.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
Yeah, what are you gonna do? Like label the boxes?
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
I'll just sit there cry over their baby photos.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
No, my sister, Oh my god. When i'm when i'm
the I get the most help. Though. When I am
when I am ready to move, by help, Bye bye bye.
My close friends helping me pack. Sure, they box stuff
up like organizers in here, they take label you know.
That's that's that's the part that I need because I
know I can just have some people like you know,
big strong guys, including myself, move, But I don't know
(49:02):
what's in those boxes, so labelers.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
Yeah, that is helpful.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
And let me ask you a question. You ever struggled
and then eventually just gave up on putting together a
toy your kids have gotten as a gift.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Have I ever struggled to put a gift together? I
will say this.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
Once I went past a shop window. There was a
very elaborate dollhouse in the window, and I said, I
liked about the cell house, and they said it's this
is the last one left. And I said, okay, perfect right,
because it's already assembled, brilliant, brought it home, didn't like it.
(49:45):
I went to return it. It was like one hundred dollars.
I went to return it and the guy said, no,
you can't return it because it's assembled.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
Lot mourn.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
This by.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
What a jerk and out of principle. I never shopped
there again.
Speaker 3 (50:07):
Oh my god, you never going back to target you?
Speaker 2 (50:12):
What about you? Have you ever struggled to put a
toy together?
Speaker 3 (50:15):
If I brought this laptop out to the side of
my house, there is there is an old toy car
that is now just sitting on the side of my house.
So if anybody comes to my house they want it,
it is not put together. It is not difficult. What
happened was is that multiple people brought my daughter the
exact same gift. I put together one of them. Sure,
(50:37):
And then when I started opening more presents for her.
I see the exact same one I just put together.
And it wasn't until I really I took it out
of the box before I realized what was happening. Hmmm,
and then I just said it on the side of
the house, when uh do we doing it out? Like
the gardeners came in, they were cleaning stuff up. They
took it out of the box and threw the box
(51:01):
away in the recycling bind and left the toy like
the pieces, in a bag on the side of the house.
So now it's just sitting there and she's been there
since last year, and I have it.
Speaker 1 (51:12):
I was gonna say, what a good regift you could
give that someone else, But now you can't do it.
It's in a trash bag, just pieces.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
Yeah, I mean that thing's been here. I mean literally,
she's she'll be five this year. That toy was from
I mean, it's a while ago. It's from the house
before this house. I ended up bring it anyway, it
was a long.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Story, hysterical.
Speaker 3 (51:35):
Next to you, Yeah, that's it, But I put I put.
Let me tell you something. I put together the gifts
for my kids, even though even when my daughter doesn't
want to play with them, I keep them and then
I play with them myself a little basketball. Look at
that little right there, buckets, buckets all day. I put
(51:57):
that together quickly. That's our show.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
