Speaker 1 (00:07):
Talking about you guys. We have a very uh interesting
episode for you guys today, Landline, directed by I mean
(00:28):
basically a cast member of New Girl, so deeply embedded
in the family, mister Trent O'Donnell and written by Rob Roselle.
You wanna break it down, sure.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Let's do that now. In this episode, Jess is forced
to crack down on teacher hookups when she finds out
that Coach is doing nasty stuff with two of their colleagues.
But when a charming New British science teacher was brought in,
her own self control is put to the test. Meanwhile,
after a landline gets installed, Nick becomes the lost receptionist,
(00:58):
bushing out unsolicited dating and work advice. Let's got to
bring and we are back, as you said. Directed by
Tren o'donald, written by Rob Roselle. No episode is called
(01:20):
landline for obvious reasons. Now it's I am interested and
you know write it in the comments below. How many folks,
how many of our listeners had a landline or knew
what a landline was? You know, because some of them
are very very young and they are not in the
age of landlines what soever. I mean some of them
(01:41):
may have jobs where they work and they have the
landlord the desk of the phone. That's still that's still
a landline, but a lot of those still use like
wireless services. So I am curious to see how many
of these folks grew up with one. I know some
of the people are our age, for sure, but a
lot of the young folks discovering New Girl for the
first time in recent years, I don't think they had landlines.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I don't think so either. I think it's like, you know,
this is what a phone looks like, you know, like
it's just like that's the shape of it. That's how
you hold it, Like there's no grip like this.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You Also, I was thinking because they talk about it
in the episode when the phone rings and they're like,
who's that? And I was like, oh, yeah, you never
knew who was calling and if someone was using the phone,
no one else can call.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Right now unless you had caller ID, which was a
newer day, but.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That was later. Then caller IDA came in, and then
call waiting came in where you could hear a beep
if someone else was trying to call, But those were
like later inventions. I remember when I moved to La
I was renting like a floor in a woman's house,
and she was like, you need to get a landline
because like the service up here is so bad. If
you just have a cell phone, you might not be
(02:53):
able to reach people. And I was like, oh, so
I had to have like a landline and it cost
two dollars a month. And I was like, you guys
know what, you're going out of business.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right dollars? Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It was. It was the craziest bill to pay. You're
also I used it zero times. The cell phone worked
just fine. I think she was just a little paranoid, like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Can I pay off the whole year up front?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Here's twelve dollars?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah? Yeah, So anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh man. So Jess gets a call from Principal Foster,
who calls her dog very strange, Jess Belzmasano bitch, and
they're trying to have this conversation and it's not going
well because there is no reception. That's happening in the
loft because of construction, which the building.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Up well, what happens is when you build, so there's
a million reasons why construction could do it that maybe
they they're using one of the polls one of the lines,
and it reduced the service. Maybe it's a tall building
that's blocking signal cell signal on that side of the
on that side of the building.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I just feel like it could be somewhere, like it's everywhere.
You're going to get service everywhere now, unless you're out
in the woods, like it's common for you be shocked.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You'd be shocked, you know. I remember buying when I
bought years ago, and I bought a house out deep
in the valley and I was like, oh, this is great,
it's perfect, this is perfect. And then I remember I
had no cell service in that house.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Get out.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's like, what the hell I had to switch? I
just switched phone carriers.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, man, you were in Tarzana. That was basically like
the moon at that point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, but AT and T didn't work.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
That's hysterical. So they're all in there, they're all on
nick sped, leaning out the window. I do remember having
to lean out a window at my old apartment like
years so all they're just trying to like get a bar,
get a bar so that they can have their phone calls.
And they're like, Nook, we need to get a landline.
This is important. They'll look at it. Schmid's like, what's
(04:56):
the rope?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, the phone is sitting there, and it's just
like it's just a thing to them. It's almost like
which was shocking to me because this was twenty fourteen,
I want to say twenty thirteen when we shot this one.
It was shocking to twenty fourteen. Maybe it was shocking
to me just because I was like, these they know
what a landline is. I was like, why are they
(05:18):
doing that?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like they ages down the network at that point, They're
like make them look like young ones. Yeah, they don't
know what I did. Love the flashback though of us.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, this one people talk about a lot. I get.
I get questions about this a lot, and people send
me different memes and gifts of this particular moment where
Winston is smooth talking some ladies into a double date
tell the girl to cut her fingertails, which I thought
(05:51):
was really funny because they pitched up our voices in
that one. So if you know, like every time we
flashed back to you know, young Nick and young Winston,
like they pitch up our voices, and their thought was like, oh,
that's interesting. But I've always said, there's a deep voice.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I will say, some people have a real sexy phone voice.
Some people just have that voice.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Thank you, thank you for saying so.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I remember that. They were always like they were so
good on the radio.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did girls like that?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
If it spoke to you like that way, then yeah.
There were some people I remember listening to the radio
and you were just like, we have a crush on
this person I've never seen, but just their voice is smooth.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I was like, cheesy as hell. Yes, all right, ladies,
ooh that does it for me? Like really, I guess
it's better than hi, ladies, I guess it's better.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Than that, A little bit better than that. You can
then just take. But then you're imagining what they look
like like, what they are like as a person. So
you're you're extrapolating a lot just from the voice.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh yeah, but if you like, look at David Beckham,
he's not gonna look like how he sounds high pitch choice,
you know what I'm saying. So if you heard, if
you heard David Beckham on the radio, you might miss out.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, you could count him out. You're a loss.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This is your loss, is your loss.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So then we uh we come back, and Schmid is
saying he needs to go study for Businessman, not Businessman magazine,
but businessman this man.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yep. It's like jay Z's lying, I'm a I'm not
a businessman. I'm a business man.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And when he's busy, and all of a sudden, you
just see like Nick is like upset because he can't
just hang out and drink all day with his boys
and he's missing the bonding and knowing what's going on
in their life and all the hot goss and uh,
he's home alone.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then he's home alone brings Yeah. The school nurse
calls the landline. Turns out that she's sleeping with Coach
right now in her office, just the newly appointed VP.
She makes Coach, she makes Coach and the school nurse
sign some papers in regard to their relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Between coach and the nurse. Is so funny. And then
Zoe at the end is like, it looks like you're
wearing like something costume from Halloween Town and she's like, yeah, yeah,
buy it.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's a media and they're.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Both so happy about it. Oh man, the greatest.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, having a work in a work situation is crazy.
I'm sure it happens all the time at schools. When
you're a kid, you never really you always wonder, but
you never really know if it's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a second place. You get all these young people,
they're caring their hearts in the right place, all these teachers.
I'm sure things happen.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What that's a terrible explanation of why school is a
great place.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I'm just saying, if you're a single person at a
school working and there's other single teachers, I don't know
why it's like so bad. Why that's so bad to date?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I don't know, because you're trying to set an example
for these kids.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well I was saying you have to like flaunt it.
But if you're grown adults after school hours and you
wanted to date, it seemed terrible to me.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I guess you got to have a love like where
you supposed to meet somebody. You want your teacher going
to the bar after work to try to meet somebody. Okay,
So the nurse is all confused and she's like, so
what should we put down for like our relationship status?
You put like a calamari on my finger, like a ring.
So I'm assuming girlfriend. And then Rose comes barging in
(09:31):
and she's like, Ernie, last night was amazingly. She kills it.
She's so funny. And then the women start fighting because
Jess has blown up coaches spot.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, oh yes, yeah. It turns out Coach is quite
he's quite the attraction there at the school.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I love it when later in the episode he's like,
I figured out who I am, Like, I figured out
who I am in the school.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm the guy that everybody I was like.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I get for you. You you started that. Okay,
So now we are back with Nick, who's alone. He's
just dudeling just and the phone rings. That's a call
for Schmidt, and then the phone rings again as a
call for Winnie, and then all of a sudden, he's
got a purpose that connects him to his friends and
his friend's lives and he's good at it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
HM, that's right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Nick asked Winston about Judy in particularly, who is this
Judy person?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, because then Winnie and Schmidt come back and he
presents them with their alphabetized message messages.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's right, which is very strange for Nick, but it
feels like he did find his purpose in this one.
Which was like, I'm going to be the secretary.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The only thing that was shocking about it is that
he knew the alphabet. That was shocking the only part
that was shocking that he alphabetized it. I believe he
took the messages and he would enjoy like hot GOSSP.
But when he alphabetized it, I was like, man, you know,
Jess really rubbed off on him in the relationship. That's
a very just thing to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Man knows ACB's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Andy.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And I'm like, why didn't you just why are they all?
Why are they all on different types of How many
different types of sticky notes do they have?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But I think it is I just bought little almost
like recipe cards Q card things, and they usually do
come in a multicolored path.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
No, this was beyond multicolor. This was like different shapes,
different sizes. I'm like, he could have just grabbed one
singular notebook and just wrote it all down on one note,
but you know, nobody did not do that, and that's fine.
This is television. Now we're now Judy. You know it's
a girl that Winston met at the driving range. It's like,
I don't know you were golfing. He's like, no, I
(11:36):
just go to watch.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, that sounds like me.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You go to driving range to watch?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, No, I wouldn't mind if, like I would go
with somebody who wanted to golf. I don't like to golf,
but if they're like, do you want to just hang out? Ship?
I love watching sports and sporty things. You can bring
me to anything where people are doing sports are sporty things.
I mean, golfing is a really fun one to tag
along because you often get to go on a cart
and you get to just like drive around. That's kind yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, but like the driving range is literally just one
person hitting the ball over and over.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, would you like chat? I've been to the driving
range of something before and I just like hang out
and you didn't swing a.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Club at all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh, I'm a good hang I don't know what to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm not sure if you know this about me, But
I am a sponsored golf pro.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Arnold.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Is that you I am?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's a golf brand? Is it really Larson's Extreme Golf?
You know they they they're looking after your boy, now
after your boy. Yeah, I'm about to. I'm about to.
I'm straight up, straight up and down.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You're gonna get to wear the green coat.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah. And I mean, listen, if I keep playing my
cards right, I might. You know, I might get a
grand slam in this thing. You know what I'm saying
when all the majors, You know, I might.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, you have a you have a very serena vibe
right now.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I might. I'm powerful, you know what I mean. And
I was just the other day. I was out there
hitting some uh, hitting some balls and crushed one of
the balls so hard and exploded and then injured injured
the bird. Okay, bird survived, bird survived. Felt if I
might have felt that way to the bird, but the
bird survive. I nursed it back to health milk I
(13:21):
fed at milk from from my person. Sure, and uh,
it's it's like it's out there thriving right now.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know what I'm here for is the representation of
you being the first male lactating golf pro.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I wouldn't say first. There are others before me that
paved the way, for sure, but I just learned from
their lead. You know what I mean. I can't take
credit for yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't. Yeah no, yeah, When.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We discussed it. We say it a loud speaking of
important the Julian Morris is the guest star on the episode. Yes, incredibly,
just lovely to watch.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He's great, He's so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Great, He's so talented, and you can tell. It's so funny.
Some people when they're on camera, they just have that thing,
whatever that magic thing is, and you just believe every
expression on their face. He just has that thing, and
he's so lovely anyway. So here is a Jess kind
of giving it to coach, being like, you can't be
(14:24):
sleeping with all these people and it's it's wrong and
you're trouble and there there's all these forms and we
have to and then Principal Foster introduces her to the
new British teacher.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And goes in, you.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I can't goes in. Me goes in. Jess goes in,
It goes in, and she can't handle it. And she's
now all of a sudden, very much like in the
micro episode where she was just like, I know I'm
not shallow, and in this one she's like, I know
where the boundaries are in my workplace. She is now
(15:02):
being tested in the most horrifying way. In last week's episode,
it was with the absolute worst dude and now it's
the absolute best dude.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Brian goes in you, Ryan goes
in you. I love it. First when he's when he's
introducing him, he's like, and he sounds a little what
he say, he sounds a little different. He goes, uh,
go ahead, say something to her, and he's speaking loud
to him as he's from a different planet.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's so amazing thing to me. If someone speaks multiple
languages and usually the other person can only speak English, right,
and they're just like, so your country, how and they
forget to speak English and like say the whole thing,
Just say like speak country, just like say that, just
say the whole Why are you speaking like you don't
(15:56):
speak English?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
English?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You think when that person speaks like five languages, have languages.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yes, you're the slow one, You the slow one.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, okay, all right, we're gonna go to break and
we come back. We're gonna be in the three way call.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's right, that's right, which is so silly.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's very silly.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And son Nick three way calls Winston Schmidt uh and
he gives them their midday messages, which is so silly.
I like his rundown of it. Nick called Judy told
her Winston wasn't feeling her, so he sent. He also
sent the magazine a picture of Schmidt against his will.
(16:52):
He just picked a random picture.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He picked the most recent one on the stone for accuracy.
He thought that was the best branding move, which is
just him like yelling at him on the couch.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, have a very weird looking position. Yeah, kind of
blurry photo as well. Yeah. And then they you know,
they hang the phone up, and then Winston. Then Schmid
calls Winston and I don't know where this came from
or how this. I remember shooting it, and it's funny
how they put it together. But it's literally just us
going and yo, yo you And and then I just
(17:28):
love when Winstay goes, wait, who's this?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's like Schmidt, But haven't you ever done that with
like a friend? I for sure have done that with
Wendy on a call where I'm like yo, she's.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Like yo, yeah back in the day, for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yo, And she's like yo, And it's just very weird.
You just kind of do it because now you're kind
of both like laughing at your own little weird thing.
And then finally when you run out of all your
hay and you're like, als, what you're doing A real
friendship moment man Robert Zell and Trent letting that moment
breathe and.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It worked out.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Just shut it down.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh yeah. The meeting, they're in the teachers meeting about relationships,
and uh, I.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Love no, you know, her whole her whole demonstration is
you know, if you ever get into a situation with someone,
you have to they if they get close to you
and you don't feel comfortable, just say, shut it down,
you know, shut it her up.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They come back down, shut it down. And Coach is
obviously trolling here at this point. Yeah, Coach is like
he because he knows, he knows she feels some type
of way about Ryan. And and this is also for
the betterment of everybody else who clearly they want to
be They want to you know, they're like, what do
you call a principal foster? Call him hose. He's like,
they want to they want to do it. So he
(18:57):
asks for a visual of this.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm a visual learner.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, and so she tries to get close to do it.
She tries to get close to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, She's like, fine, how much get up here, and
he's like, no, I get the new guy. And what's
so sweet about how Julian La portrays this is he
he always plays everything like in knowledge, so like it's
not like, oh, I guess I'll go up there and
it's gonna be fine. You see him like already looking
at Jess being like, I know you don't like I
know what they're doing, and I don't want to put
(19:27):
you in that position. And so he kind of goes
up there and he's just trying to like make this
painless for her. He's already obviously you know, the attraction
is mutual, and so he's just trying to like like
I'm on your team too.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, And then she talks through the example and then
Coach is like, no, no, I need to, like you
guys have to act it out. I really have to
see it. And then he gives her a little massage.
Mister goes in you oh boy, and she forgets where
she is and what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Oh well, right before that, right before that, yeah, right
before that. Back at the loft, Schmid is trying to
have you re record the voicemail.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my god, this scene.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
And you're just saying it in the most played boring voice.
He he can't you try to turn on the nations.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I will say, man, shout out to our writers. They
really did make me feel good about myself because they
really did. As opposed to last episode where they called
you a six and a half, they were really selling
me as a hard ten every single episode and I
don't think I'm a hard ten. And it was a
very sweet moment. And the way there's nothing more that
(20:47):
I love than someone being like, like like yelling and
mad because they're so into you, Like I think it's
so funny. It's a funny, funny thing. And the way
Max always played it like he was so angry she
couldn't just say it not sexy. But it's really his
lens of that everything she does is just the hottest
(21:09):
thing and he just can't take it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
My favorite is what he makes a comment later on.
He goes, when the act we will get there, but
it's just funny. It's when the voicemail goes out with breaks,
when he's like, well, you probably because you listen to
CC's voice a million times, and he goes, yeah, then
I touch my pen.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah now again, once again, why are we saying the
choir parts out loud? It's so funny the freedom these
friends have in the loft. I was like, okay, wow,
we didn't need to say it. I also love that
the CC character just is like so unfazed, like she knows,
she knows, and she knows he's the guy to say
(21:47):
it out loud too.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah. Now, back at the school meeting, coach keeps on
antagonizing Jess. Yeah, and this demonstration he's trying to see,
and then it leads to Ryan, like you said earlier,
rubbing just his shulders because she looks tense, because he goes,
oh you look tense, and he starts rubbing her shoulders.
And then when she goes to shut it down, she can't.
She's actually she's actually like, yeah, it's a little lower, Yeah,
(22:11):
just like that. And then when she goes to shut
it down, she actually touches his.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, she does an accidental bank and she is mortified
because now she's just touched somebody. This is the whole thing.
She's now done this, and then she goes to show
what she was trying to do and then does.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It again again.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Literal nightmare if that ever happened to me, I would.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Move Yeah, Oh are you kidding me? Not back at
the loft now the answering machine is not working.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah. So Nick was pretty hurt because he was like
loving his job as being a secretary, loving being there
for his friends. It gets revealed that he even bought
himself a secretary and he was like, look, the computer
is going to take over and all the robots are
going to take over, and you're gonna miss me. And
then guess what. The answering machine is on the fritz
(23:06):
and it's not working. And when he's like, don't say anything, Nick, Yes,
then we have the beautiful hysterical pen moment that Schmidt
says about CC that Schmid is the one who broke
the answering machine.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah. And then when Nick comes Nick comes in, he
comes back into the living room and Schmidt asked him
if the magazine's.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Called yeah, is check the machine?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh my gosh. Now Nick jokingly tells whence that the
magazine did call? This is so crazy because this is
a multiple episodes where Nick is kind of sabotaged just
with his job.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It is still employed with Nick around is crazy because
it feels like he's trying to sabotage that man.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and he's like, he's like, they did call, and
they do want to do the interview with Schmidt today.
And you know, Schmid had already left. Was he's trying
to get the damn you know, recorder or the yeah,
whatever you call it, the answering machine fixed. So he's gone,
and Winston asked him. He goes, why didn't why did
he say anything this interview? Man, it's very important to Schmidt.
(24:17):
And Winston asked Nick, like, hey man, there's something bigger
going on here, So what's really going on? And he
says he just you know, he just misses them, you know,
and then answering the phone makes him feel connected to
him and Schmidt actually, I mean in Winston actually understands.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah. It's a very sweet, like emotionally mature moment between
both of them.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
M M.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That felt very shocking. Yeah, oh, in the phone.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Rings, that's right, it's the magazine. Yeah, and they want
to do the interview right now. Nick tells Winston that
he has to do it. He's magical on the phone.
So Winston grabs the phone. He tells Nick he needs
a soda and a straw and he also needs to
get horizontal.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I will say this as the owner of that cow
mm hmm. I saw you like get up and with
your shoes on it, and it didn't shit right with me.
I got grossed up on my couch.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Now, a lot more happened on that couch than you.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Probably I know, I know, but I don't have to
see it. And it was really weird that in my body.
The first thing was like, get your shoes off my.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Couch, Hannah. Can I you know how many times we
stood on that couch playing true American.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I know, I know, I know. I'm just saying what
it was.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But when I get it, when I do it, it's like, oh,
he can't stop.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
On it because I know you were raised better, that's all.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, I can, I can. I can guarantee you. When
the crew was breaking down the set, some crew members
were sleeping with each other. And I guarantee you they
slept with each other on that couch.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Crew members were sleeping with each other. No, yeah, you
know what I do think about those because I know
a lot of people did take naps on the couch.
Like for the billions of years we had that couch.
And here's what I really do think it does gross
me about the couch a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, but it's leather, so it bounced off.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Just squeeze that. You can know if you just push
the cushion down and the air comes out and it
smells like ERDs.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I will say, Man winning on the phone was very
smooth and actually sells the deal way better than Schmidt
ever could do, even Schmidt what it stands for.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, some can have money. I desire thoughtfulness.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I mean amazing and then watching like Max and Jake
high five in the background because they're so happy. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. There's been multiple episodes where
Winston proves himself on the phone, which is hilarious. Certain,
but when the writers come up with this stuff, it's like,
it's it's funny. It's very creative. It's very funny to
get to add that there's this is to get to
get so much mileage out of oh, this person's good
on the phone, like that very basic thought, and you
(26:56):
get multiple episodes of hilarity out of it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, all right, now we're going to wrap the episode
up because Jess walks into coaches room. She's a sorry,
she realizes now that it's sometimes hard to control your feelings.
And then he apologizes she's repealed the policy. How convenient,
but she's repealed the policy. And then Ruth pops up
(27:24):
from under the covers hot under there? Can I tell
you what I thought was gonna happen? I don't know
if you thought this was going to happen too, because
the scene was going on really long for a new
girl scene. It just seemed like really long. They were
talking justin coach, and then finally Ruth pops up, and
then I thought, what was going to happen is you
were going to see Rose pop up?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Me too?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I thought that was going to happen. I was like,
oh man, Ernie.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Missed opportunity. I thought that was going to happen too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, That's what I was like, all right. The next
day at school, Princeville, Foster says he's tried to corral
these animals, but teachers are just straight up hoes.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh yeah, And then he tells Jess that, you know,
the two administrators like themselves could hook up, but he's
not attracted to her. Only Asians.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
She said the faster again.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Why oh uh, now you know Schmidt, the bad boy
of marketing. It's officially out. And then at the end,
outside you hear a boombox screaming for Winston, which I've
heard before, screaming for La morn right outside my door.
I'm to show up a boombox as often and you
know that's Judy. That is Judy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Another ever made a female pick for Winston?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yes, oh my gosh. Yeah, let's let's go to a
quick commercial recor when we come back.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I just want to I do want to mess around
a little bit and we I'm back again.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Uh babe. Yeah, what's the craziest in office secret relationship
story you've heard or had?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah? Have you had? Have you dated a co worker?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I have me too? I have Again?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Where are you supposed to meet people?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I know right now, like online dating is like a
big thing, but like back in the day, it kind
of wasn't, And so you met people where you met them.
And of course you're going to meet someone at work
because often your boss sucks and work can be hard,
and that's how like you bond and connect and it's
the person you're spending time with. Yeah, I think that
there's like there's this big rule around it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, it is strange. It is strange, I think just
because of work productivity of what happens when you don't
work together anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, but then they're just going to do it in secret.
They're not going to not do it to people know
what I mean to each other.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well, here's what I mean. Here's what I mean if
you break up and the issues that it causes at work,
especially if you work in the same department, Like if
your two cast mates and you're doing it and you
break up, you're going to notice that there is some
sort of weird energy.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, but there's no rule around that on an acting set,
and like right, it's like not a traditional workplace, and
so people do date on sets because it wasn't there.
Like the craziest story, I don't know it, but I
just know it's a crazy story with like Dexter. Was
he like with his wife and his girlfriend and it
was a whole it is a regulation in Dexter, and
(30:31):
it got very messy for everybody in the crew. I
think that's true. I think that was the craziest one
I ever heard on And there was like multiple articles
because he had to continue working and the women had
to continue working there. Yeah, and it was like very challenging.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I could imagine. Yeah, that's one thing that I don't
I wouldn't date a as an actor. I wouldn't date
a coworker in a project that I was working on. Now,
if it had ended and you guys had a thing,
then I could see it, you know, if you if
you pursued it after the fact. But I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it while we were working. It's too
you never know what scenarios the writers are going to write.
(31:09):
You never know what scenarios are going to put you in,
and you never know how your partner's going to react.
Like if if you're you're a couple, and then they
constantly have you dating these other women that come on
the show, yeah, you know, for storyline purposes. You never
know how people react to that. Every weekend, I'm like
making out with some different women, Like, you might feel
some type of way about that, even though we know
it's pretend. Yeah, and I might feel some type of
(31:30):
way if every episode she's like doing sex scenes with
somebody else, that's right, I'm like, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And the acting workplace it is a wild thing, but
it's also hard, I would assume, because if you're like,
have real chemistry with somebody and you're both single and like,
oh yeah, stuff can happen. But I had, like write,
office romance was just like in a normal job. It
wasn't that exciting.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
In Cyprus, it was very, very chill.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I think I've actually had several and they were all
like because again, where else were you going to meet somebody? Yeah,
but there was no like consequence to it. There was
like boss being like I've heard.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, there was no consequence to mine because it wasn't.
We didn't. We didn't make it a thing, make it crazy,
right like, it didn't and we were and we were
in two completely different departments.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, I think it's normal people say they met at work.
I don't know. The teaching thing, it does feel weird
to me. Teachers. I'll say this again, I do want
to hear if you have met your partner at work,
was there any consequence to it? Like? It seems so
strange to me. I'm here for teaching.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Love that. What's that show with something? Remember? What was
it called May December? What's that about?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I don't know you watched these romantic movies. I don't
watch romantic movies.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I didn't watch this one yet, but I should. I should.
I should. Got Corey Michael Smith and he is a
fantastic actor. I gotta check that out. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Oh, I know which one you were talking about. I
read about it. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, in May December. It's about a teacher about teacher.
Uh why am I great actresses? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, super famous persons.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Their names. Yeah, I'm dropping their names for some reason.
But uh anyway, Yeah, did she put.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
In the chat no May December? Julianne Moore and Charles
Milton and Natalie Portman. Yeah, just like a murderer's row
of actors, just like I was gorgeous talented.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I just know Corey Michael Smith said it because I
just worked with him on Saturday Night. He's on that movie.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, that was a big movie.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I remember that so anyway he uh oh yeah yeah
with Dexter. He they did the woman who played his sister.
I remember that. But I didn't know he was married
when he did it.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
There was something I don't know. I got to read
up on it. I'm so sorry Dexter. People have I
got that wrong, but I heard that there was some
real drama put allegations. I know. I'm so sorry, so
sorry to get back. Okay, So our next question is
should we go back to landlines? Do you may recording
your first voicemail?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
I think landlines are cool because you know the surface
is going to be fine. Yeah, you know, everybody should
have one because you know when service is an issue,
like if I'm at home, yeah, I'll call from the
landline just to make sure we're clear, just to make
sure we're good to go and locked in. I remember,
I don't remember it recording my Actually I do, I do,
but mine was a silly one, and I'm drawing a
(34:25):
blank on what exactly it was. But it was one
of those like it was one of those like I'll
act like we're having a conversation and then go, I'm
just kidding. Leave a message.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Everybody did that message where it was like, yeah, you
went like this, hello, yeah, hey, I'm actually not here man,
and that person.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Is yeah, you deep your message like that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
That was so funny. Yeah, it was fun to leave
your own voice message. And now you don't even do
it on your iPhone. It's so funny. Nobody like leaves
a message really like records one anymore, you just kind
of like whatever.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, what I used to do was record a song.
I used to record a song too. I used to
have some like music playing and then I would come in.
Yeah the morning here right now. Yeah you just hear
like some like jo toicy in the background. Yeah, that's
how I used to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I remember. Here's what I will say about I remember
my first landline. I used to live in Saudi Arabia
and I remember my first landline and I think the
phone number was like six numbers long, like it was
like so short and soud because they didn't have like
a ton of phone and so it was like the
shortest phone number in the world. And I remember feeling
really practiced little. I was like seven years old, and
(35:36):
I was like, oh, I know my phone number, and
now I respect I'm like, yeah, of course you did.
It was like literally two numbers.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, I hope you remembered six numbers in a row
at age six. Yeah, way back in the day. Man,
here's what I will say. When I lived in the
hills and I had to get the landline because she
told me there's no service up in that house, and
I got the landline. It was annoying because that phone
would just ring. Spam people get landline numbers, and so
(36:04):
at night. What the crazy thing was, I'd have to
unplug the phone phone because you can't just be like
I'm going to put you on silent. That doesn't increase.
So I have to unplug the phone, and then you
have to remember to plug in the phone. And I
was like, this is ridiculous. I need bout two dollars back.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I know, because it does keep you up. I had
the same thing recently, because you know, depending on the
I think it was Spectrum. When you get Spectrum cable service,
you know, they make you get the whole package of
the internet phone whatever. It's cheaper if you get the
phone included. And I get the phone included, and I
had a little landline phone that just I never used,
but it would ring all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yes, it rings all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Who's calling it?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
No one has this number except Spectrum.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
The same thing had it unplugged.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
That's right, That's what I'm trying to say. The joke
of it is you can get the landline, but then
it's actually somehow more annoying and then you just unplug
it and now you just got this relic.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, they just want to go to your house.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
They just need that two dollars man.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Making millions that way for everybody to give you two bucks.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
All right, y'all, that was a landline. If you like
this merch you can barely see because of my hair.
It's so cute though. My cosiest sweater in the world.
You can head to the messround pod dot com buy
for yourself a loved one good birthday gift. For all
those diehard New Girl fans. You can follow us at
the mess Around Pod on ig and send in your
(37:32):
office romance stories. I want to know and I want
to know if there's consequences, because that feels crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Yeah, and I think that there's a lot of people.
The consequences are high for some people because you lose
your job, you mess around, sleep with the wrong Let's
say you're in the mob and that's your job and
you sleep with the head of the mob's wife. Yeah,
that's all office romance. You lose your you lose your legs.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
For that's it. That's it. Are real consequences.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah, oh my god. All right, anyway, Love you guys
as always. Hmmm, stay safe out there.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
That was the mess around. In iHeartMedia production, Our.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Executive producer is Joel Monique. Our senior producer is Abu
Zafar Bei Wang provided engineering and editing services.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Additional production from Daniel Goodman, Wendy Heisler, and Kyle Shevron.
Our theme song was written and composed by Ronald Jukebox Jackson.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Catch you next time. Bye,
Talking about you guys. We have a very uh interesting
episode for you guys today, Landline, directed by I mean
(00:28):
basically a cast member of New Girl, so deeply embedded
in the family, mister Trent O'Donnell and written by Rob Roselle.
You wanna break it down, sure.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Let's do that now. In this episode, Jess is forced
to crack down on teacher hookups when she finds out
that Coach is doing nasty stuff with two of their colleagues.
But when a charming New British science teacher was brought in,
her own self control is put to the test. Meanwhile,
after a landline gets installed, Nick becomes the lost receptionist,
(00:58):
bushing out unsolicited dating and work advice. Let's got to
bring and we are back, as you said. Directed by
Tren o'donald, written by Rob Roselle. No episode is called
(01:20):
landline for obvious reasons. Now it's I am interested and
you know write it in the comments below. How many folks,
how many of our listeners had a landline or knew
what a landline was? You know, because some of them
are very very young and they are not in the
age of landlines what soever. I mean some of them
(01:41):
may have jobs where they work and they have the
landlord the desk of the phone. That's still that's still
a landline, but a lot of those still use like
wireless services. So I am curious to see how many
of these folks grew up with one. I know some
of the people are our age, for sure, but a
lot of the young folks discovering New Girl for the
first time in recent years, I don't think they had landlines.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I don't think so either. I think it's like, you know,
this is what a phone looks like, you know, like
it's just like that's the shape of it. That's how
you hold it, Like there's no grip like this.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You Also, I was thinking because they talk about it
in the episode when the phone rings and they're like,
who's that? And I was like, oh, yeah, you never
knew who was calling and if someone was using the phone,
no one else can call.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Right now unless you had caller ID, which was a
newer day, but.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That was later. Then caller IDA came in, and then
call waiting came in where you could hear a beep
if someone else was trying to call, But those were
like later inventions. I remember when I moved to La
I was renting like a floor in a woman's house,
and she was like, you need to get a landline
because like the service up here is so bad. If
you just have a cell phone, you might not be
(02:53):
able to reach people. And I was like, oh, so
I had to have like a landline and it cost
two dollars a month. And I was like, you guys
know what, you're going out of business.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Right dollars? Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It was. It was the craziest bill to pay. You're
also I used it zero times. The cell phone worked
just fine. I think she was just a little paranoid, like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Can I pay off the whole year up front?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Here's twelve dollars?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah? Yeah, So anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh man. So Jess gets a call from Principal Foster,
who calls her dog very strange, Jess Belzmasano bitch, and
they're trying to have this conversation and it's not going
well because there is no reception. That's happening in the
loft because of construction, which the building.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Up well, what happens is when you build, so there's
a million reasons why construction could do it that maybe
they they're using one of the polls one of the lines,
and it reduced the service. Maybe it's a tall building
that's blocking signal cell signal on that side of the
on that side of the building.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I just feel like it could be somewhere, like it's everywhere.
You're going to get service everywhere now, unless you're out
in the woods, like it's common for you be shocked.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You'd be shocked, you know. I remember buying when I
bought years ago, and I bought a house out deep
in the valley and I was like, oh, this is great,
it's perfect, this is perfect. And then I remember I
had no cell service in that house.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Get out.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's like, what the hell I had to switch? I
just switched phone carriers.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well, man, you were in Tarzana. That was basically like
the moon at that point.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, but AT and T didn't work.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
That's hysterical. So they're all in there, they're all on
nick sped, leaning out the window. I do remember having
to lean out a window at my old apartment like
years so all they're just trying to like get a bar,
get a bar so that they can have their phone calls.
And they're like, Nook, we need to get a landline.
This is important. They'll look at it. Schmid's like, what's
(04:56):
the rope?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, the phone is sitting there, and it's just
like it's just a thing to them. It's almost like
which was shocking to me because this was twenty fourteen,
I want to say twenty thirteen when we shot this one.
It was shocking to twenty fourteen. Maybe it was shocking
to me just because I was like, these they know
what a landline is. I was like, why are they
(05:18):
doing that?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Like they ages down the network at that point, They're
like make them look like young ones. Yeah, they don't
know what I did. Love the flashback though of us.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, this one people talk about a lot. I get.
I get questions about this a lot, and people send
me different memes and gifts of this particular moment where
Winston is smooth talking some ladies into a double date
tell the girl to cut her fingertails, which I thought
(05:51):
was really funny because they pitched up our voices in
that one. So if you know, like every time we
flashed back to you know, young Nick and young Winston,
like they pitch up our voices, and their thought was like, oh,
that's interesting. But I've always said, there's a deep voice.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I will say, some people have a real sexy phone voice.
Some people just have that voice.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Thank you, thank you for saying so.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I remember that. They were always like they were so
good on the radio.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did girls like that?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
If it spoke to you like that way, then yeah.
There were some people I remember listening to the radio
and you were just like, we have a crush on
this person I've never seen, but just their voice is smooth.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I was like, cheesy as hell. Yes, all right, ladies,
ooh that does it for me? Like really, I guess
it's better than hi, ladies, I guess it's better.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Than that, A little bit better than that. You can
then just take. But then you're imagining what they look
like like, what they are like as a person. So
you're you're extrapolating a lot just from the voice.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh yeah, but if you like, look at David Beckham,
he's not gonna look like how he sounds high pitch choice,
you know what I'm saying. So if you heard, if
you heard David Beckham on the radio, you might miss out.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, you could count him out. You're a loss.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This is your loss, is your loss.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So then we uh we come back, and Schmid is
saying he needs to go study for Businessman, not Businessman magazine,
but businessman this man.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yep. It's like jay Z's lying, I'm a I'm not
a businessman. I'm a business man.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And when he's busy, and all of a sudden, you
just see like Nick is like upset because he can't
just hang out and drink all day with his boys
and he's missing the bonding and knowing what's going on
in their life and all the hot goss and uh,
he's home alone.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then he's home alone brings Yeah. The school nurse
calls the landline. Turns out that she's sleeping with Coach
right now in her office, just the newly appointed VP.
She makes Coach, she makes Coach and the school nurse
sign some papers in regard to their relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Between coach and the nurse. Is so funny. And then
Zoe at the end is like, it looks like you're
wearing like something costume from Halloween Town and she's like, yeah, yeah,
buy it.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's a media and they're.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Both so happy about it. Oh man, the greatest.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, having a work in a work situation is crazy.
I'm sure it happens all the time at schools. When
you're a kid, you never really you always wonder, but
you never really know if it's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a second place. You get all these young people,
they're caring their hearts in the right place, all these teachers.
I'm sure things happen.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
What that's a terrible explanation of why school is a
great place.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I'm just saying, if you're a single person at a
school working and there's other single teachers, I don't know
why it's like so bad. Why that's so bad to date?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I don't know, because you're trying to set an example
for these kids.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well I was saying you have to like flaunt it.
But if you're grown adults after school hours and you
wanted to date, it seemed terrible to me.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I guess you got to have a love like where
you supposed to meet somebody. You want your teacher going
to the bar after work to try to meet somebody. Okay,
So the nurse is all confused and she's like, so
what should we put down for like our relationship status?
You put like a calamari on my finger, like a ring.
So I'm assuming girlfriend. And then Rose comes barging in
(09:31):
and she's like, Ernie, last night was amazingly. She kills it.
She's so funny. And then the women start fighting because
Jess has blown up coaches spot.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, oh yes, yeah. It turns out Coach is quite
he's quite the attraction there at the school.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I love it when later in the episode he's like,
I figured out who I am, Like, I figured out
who I am in the school.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm the guy that everybody I was like.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I get for you. You you started that. Okay,
So now we are back with Nick, who's alone. He's
just dudeling just and the phone rings. That's a call
for Schmidt, and then the phone rings again as a
call for Winnie, and then all of a sudden, he's
got a purpose that connects him to his friends and
his friend's lives and he's good at it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
HM, that's right.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Nick asked Winston about Judy in particularly, who is this
Judy person?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, because then Winnie and Schmidt come back and he
presents them with their alphabetized message messages.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's right, which is very strange for Nick, but it
feels like he did find his purpose in this one.
Which was like, I'm going to be the secretary.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The only thing that was shocking about it is that
he knew the alphabet. That was shocking the only part
that was shocking that he alphabetized it. I believe he
took the messages and he would enjoy like hot GOSSP.
But when he alphabetized it, I was like, man, you know,
Jess really rubbed off on him in the relationship. That's
a very just thing to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Man knows ACB's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Andy.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And I'm like, why didn't you just why are they all?
Why are they all on different types of How many
different types of sticky notes do they have?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But I think it is I just bought little almost
like recipe cards Q card things, and they usually do
come in a multicolored path.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
No, this was beyond multicolor. This was like different shapes,
different sizes. I'm like, he could have just grabbed one
singular notebook and just wrote it all down on one note,
but you know, nobody did not do that, and that's fine.
This is television. Now we're now Judy. You know it's
a girl that Winston met at the driving range. It's like,
I don't know you were golfing. He's like, no, I
(11:36):
just go to watch.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, that sounds like me.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
You go to driving range to watch?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, No, I wouldn't mind if, like I would go
with somebody who wanted to golf. I don't like to golf,
but if they're like, do you want to just hang out? Ship?
I love watching sports and sporty things. You can bring
me to anything where people are doing sports are sporty things.
I mean, golfing is a really fun one to tag
along because you often get to go on a cart
and you get to just like drive around. That's kind yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, but like the driving range is literally just one
person hitting the ball over and over.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, would you like chat? I've been to the driving
range of something before and I just like hang out
and you didn't swing a.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Club at all.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh, I'm a good hang I don't know what to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm not sure if you know this about me, But
I am a sponsored golf pro.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Arnold.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Is that you I am?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's a golf brand? Is it really Larson's Extreme Golf?
You know they they they're looking after your boy, now
after your boy. Yeah, I'm about to. I'm about to.
I'm straight up, straight up and down.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You're gonna get to wear the green coat.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah. And I mean, listen, if I keep playing my
cards right, I might. You know, I might get a
grand slam in this thing. You know what I'm saying
when all the majors, You know, I might.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, you have a you have a very serena vibe
right now.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I might. I'm powerful, you know what I mean. And
I was just the other day. I was out there
hitting some uh, hitting some balls and crushed one of
the balls so hard and exploded and then injured injured
the bird. Okay, bird survived, bird survived. Felt if I
might have felt that way to the bird, but the
bird survive. I nursed it back to health milk I
(13:21):
fed at milk from from my person. Sure, and uh,
it's it's like it's out there thriving right now.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know what I'm here for is the representation of
you being the first male lactating golf pro.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I wouldn't say first. There are others before me that
paved the way, for sure, but I just learned from
their lead. You know what I mean. I can't take
credit for yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't. Yeah no, yeah, When.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
We discussed it. We say it a loud speaking of
important the Julian Morris is the guest star on the episode. Yes, incredibly,
just lovely to watch.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He's great, He's so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Great, He's so talented, and you can tell. It's so funny.
Some people when they're on camera, they just have that thing,
whatever that magic thing is, and you just believe every
expression on their face. He just has that thing, and
he's so lovely anyway. So here is a Jess kind
of giving it to coach, being like, you can't be
(14:24):
sleeping with all these people and it's it's wrong and
you're trouble and there there's all these forms and we
have to and then Principal Foster introduces her to the
new British teacher.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And goes in, you.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I can't goes in. Me goes in. Jess goes in,
It goes in, and she can't handle it. And she's
now all of a sudden, very much like in the
micro episode where she was just like, I know I'm
not shallow, and in this one she's like, I know
where the boundaries are in my workplace. She is now
(15:02):
being tested in the most horrifying way. In last week's episode,
it was with the absolute worst dude and now it's
the absolute best dude.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Brian goes in you, Ryan goes
in you. I love it. First when he's when he's
introducing him, he's like, and he sounds a little what
he say, he sounds a little different. He goes, uh,
go ahead, say something to her, and he's speaking loud
to him as he's from a different planet.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's so amazing thing to me. If someone speaks multiple
languages and usually the other person can only speak English, right,
and they're just like, so your country, how and they
forget to speak English and like say the whole thing,
Just say like speak country, just like say that, just
say the whole Why are you speaking like you don't
(15:56):
speak English?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
English?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You think when that person speaks like five languages, have languages.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yes, you're the slow one, You the slow one.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, okay, all right, we're gonna go to break and
we come back. We're gonna be in the three way call.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's right, that's right, which is so silly.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's very silly.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And son Nick three way calls Winston Schmidt uh and
he gives them their midday messages, which is so silly.
I like his rundown of it. Nick called Judy told
her Winston wasn't feeling her, so he sent. He also
sent the magazine a picture of Schmidt against his will.
(16:52):
He just picked a random picture.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
He picked the most recent one on the stone for accuracy.
He thought that was the best branding move, which is
just him like yelling at him on the couch.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, have a very weird looking position. Yeah, kind of
blurry photo as well. Yeah. And then they you know,
they hang the phone up, and then Winston. Then Schmid
calls Winston and I don't know where this came from
or how this. I remember shooting it, and it's funny
how they put it together. But it's literally just us
going and yo, yo you And and then I just
(17:28):
love when Winstay goes, wait, who's this?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's like Schmidt, But haven't you ever done that with
like a friend? I for sure have done that with
Wendy on a call where I'm like yo, she's.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Like yo, yeah back in the day, for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yo, And she's like yo, And it's just very weird.
You just kind of do it because now you're kind
of both like laughing at your own little weird thing.
And then finally when you run out of all your
hay and you're like, als, what you're doing A real
friendship moment man Robert Zell and Trent letting that moment
breathe and.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It worked out.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Just shut it down.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh yeah. The meeting, they're in the teachers meeting about relationships,
and uh, I.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Love no, you know, her whole her whole demonstration is
you know, if you ever get into a situation with someone,
you have to they if they get close to you
and you don't feel comfortable, just say, shut it down,
you know, shut it her up.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They come back down, shut it down. And Coach is
obviously trolling here at this point. Yeah, Coach is like
he because he knows, he knows she feels some type
of way about Ryan. And and this is also for
the betterment of everybody else who clearly they want to
be They want to you know, they're like, what do
you call a principal foster? Call him hose. He's like,
they want to they want to do it. So he
(18:57):
asks for a visual of this.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm a visual learner.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, and so she tries to get close to do it.
She tries to get close to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, She's like, fine, how much get up here, and
he's like, no, I get the new guy. And what's
so sweet about how Julian La portrays this is he
he always plays everything like in knowledge, so like it's
not like, oh, I guess I'll go up there and
it's gonna be fine. You see him like already looking
at Jess being like, I know you don't like I
know what they're doing, and I don't want to put
(19:27):
you in that position. And so he kind of goes
up there and he's just trying to like make this
painless for her. He's already obviously you know, the attraction
is mutual, and so he's just trying to like like
I'm on your team too.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, And then she talks through the example and then
Coach is like, no, no, I need to, like you
guys have to act it out. I really have to
see it. And then he gives her a little massage.
Mister goes in you oh boy, and she forgets where
she is and what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Oh well, right before that, right before that, yeah, right
before that. Back at the loft, Schmid is trying to
have you re record the voicemail.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my god, this scene.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
And you're just saying it in the most played boring voice.
He he can't you try to turn on the nations.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I will say, man, shout out to our writers. They
really did make me feel good about myself because they
really did. As opposed to last episode where they called
you a six and a half, they were really selling
me as a hard ten every single episode and I
don't think I'm a hard ten. And it was a
very sweet moment. And the way there's nothing more that
(20:47):
I love than someone being like, like like yelling and
mad because they're so into you, Like I think it's
so funny. It's a funny, funny thing. And the way
Max always played it like he was so angry she
couldn't just say it not sexy. But it's really his
lens of that everything she does is just the hottest
(21:09):
thing and he just can't take it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
My favorite is what he makes a comment later on.
He goes, when the act we will get there, but
it's just funny. It's when the voicemail goes out with breaks,
when he's like, well, you probably because you listen to
CC's voice a million times, and he goes, yeah, then
I touch my pen.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah now again, once again, why are we saying the
choir parts out loud? It's so funny the freedom these
friends have in the loft. I was like, okay, wow,
we didn't need to say it. I also love that
the CC character just is like so unfazed, like she knows,
she knows, and she knows he's the guy to say
(21:47):
it out loud too.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah. Now, back at the school meeting, coach keeps on
antagonizing Jess. Yeah, and this demonstration he's trying to see,
and then it leads to Ryan, like you said earlier,
rubbing just his shulders because she looks tense, because he goes,
oh you look tense, and he starts rubbing her shoulders.
And then when she goes to shut it down, she can't.
She's actually she's actually like, yeah, it's a little lower, Yeah,
(22:11):
just like that. And then when she goes to shut
it down, she actually touches his.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, she does an accidental bank and she is mortified
because now she's just touched somebody. This is the whole thing.
She's now done this, and then she goes to show
what she was trying to do and then does.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It again again.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Literal nightmare if that ever happened to me, I would.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Move Yeah, Oh are you kidding me? Not back at
the loft now the answering machine is not working.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah. So Nick was pretty hurt because he was like
loving his job as being a secretary, loving being there
for his friends. It gets revealed that he even bought
himself a secretary and he was like, look, the computer
is going to take over and all the robots are
going to take over, and you're gonna miss me. And
then guess what. The answering machine is on the fritz
(23:06):
and it's not working. And when he's like, don't say anything, Nick, Yes,
then we have the beautiful hysterical pen moment that Schmidt
says about CC that Schmid is the one who broke
the answering machine.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah. And then when Nick comes Nick comes in, he
comes back into the living room and Schmidt asked him
if the magazine's.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Called yeah, is check the machine?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh my gosh. Now Nick jokingly tells whence that the
magazine did call? This is so crazy because this is
a multiple episodes where Nick is kind of sabotaged just
with his job.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It is still employed with Nick around is crazy because
it feels like he's trying to sabotage that man.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and he's like, he's like, they did call, and
they do want to do the interview with Schmidt today.
And you know, Schmid had already left. Was he's trying
to get the damn you know, recorder or the yeah,
whatever you call it, the answering machine fixed. So he's gone,
and Winston asked him. He goes, why didn't why did
he say anything this interview? Man, it's very important to Schmidt.
(24:17):
And Winston asked Nick, like, hey man, there's something bigger
going on here, So what's really going on? And he
says he just you know, he just misses them, you know,
and then answering the phone makes him feel connected to
him and Schmidt actually, I mean in Winston actually understands.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah. It's a very sweet, like emotionally mature moment between
both of them.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
M M.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That felt very shocking. Yeah, oh, in the phone.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Rings, that's right, it's the magazine. Yeah, and they want
to do the interview right now. Nick tells Winston that
he has to do it. He's magical on the phone.
So Winston grabs the phone. He tells Nick he needs
a soda and a straw and he also needs to
get horizontal.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I will say this as the owner of that cow
mm hmm. I saw you like get up and with
your shoes on it, and it didn't shit right with me.
I got grossed up on my couch.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Now, a lot more happened on that couch than you.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Probably I know, I know, but I don't have to
see it. And it was really weird that in my body.
The first thing was like, get your shoes off my.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Couch, Hannah. Can I you know how many times we
stood on that couch playing true American.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I know, I know, I know. I'm just saying what
it was.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But when I get it, when I do it, it's like, oh,
he can't stop.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
On it because I know you were raised better, that's all.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, I can, I can. I can guarantee you. When
the crew was breaking down the set, some crew members
were sleeping with each other. And I guarantee you they
slept with each other on that couch.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Crew members were sleeping with each other. No, yeah, you
know what I do think about those because I know
a lot of people did take naps on the couch.
Like for the billions of years we had that couch.
And here's what I really do think it does gross
me about the couch a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, but it's leather, so it bounced off.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Just squeeze that. You can know if you just push
the cushion down and the air comes out and it
smells like ERDs.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I will say, Man winning on the phone was very
smooth and actually sells the deal way better than Schmidt
ever could do, even Schmidt what it stands for.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, some can have money. I desire thoughtfulness.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I mean amazing and then watching like Max and Jake
high five in the background because they're so happy. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. There's been multiple episodes where
Winston proves himself on the phone, which is hilarious. Certain,
but when the writers come up with this stuff, it's like,
it's it's funny. It's very creative. It's very funny to
get to add that there's this is to get to
get so much mileage out of oh, this person's good
on the phone, like that very basic thought, and you
(26:56):
get multiple episodes of hilarity out of it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, all right, now we're going to wrap the episode
up because Jess walks into coaches room. She's a sorry,
she realizes now that it's sometimes hard to control your feelings.
And then he apologizes she's repealed the policy. How convenient,
but she's repealed the policy. And then Ruth pops up
(27:24):
from under the covers hot under there? Can I tell
you what I thought was gonna happen? I don't know
if you thought this was going to happen too, because
the scene was going on really long for a new
girl scene. It just seemed like really long. They were
talking justin coach, and then finally Ruth pops up, and
then I thought, what was going to happen is you
were going to see Rose pop up?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Me too?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I thought that was going to happen. I was like,
oh man, Ernie.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Missed opportunity. I thought that was going to happen too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, That's what I was like, all right. The next
day at school, Princeville, Foster says he's tried to corral
these animals, but teachers are just straight up hoes.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh yeah, And then he tells Jess that, you know,
the two administrators like themselves could hook up, but he's
not attracted to her. Only Asians.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
She said the faster again.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Why oh uh, now you know Schmidt, the bad boy
of marketing. It's officially out. And then at the end,
outside you hear a boombox screaming for Winston, which I've
heard before, screaming for La morn right outside my door.
I'm to show up a boombox as often and you
know that's Judy. That is Judy.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Another ever made a female pick for Winston?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yes, oh my gosh. Yeah, let's let's go to a
quick commercial recor when we come back.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I just want to I do want to mess around
a little bit and we I'm back again.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Uh babe. Yeah, what's the craziest in office secret relationship
story you've heard or had?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah? Have you had? Have you dated a co worker?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I have me too? I have Again?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Where are you supposed to meet people?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I know right now, like online dating is like a
big thing, but like back in the day, it kind
of wasn't, And so you met people where you met them.
And of course you're going to meet someone at work
because often your boss sucks and work can be hard,
and that's how like you bond and connect and it's
the person you're spending time with. Yeah, I think that
there's like there's this big rule around it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, it is strange. It is strange, I think just
because of work productivity of what happens when you don't
work together anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, but then they're just going to do it in secret.
They're not going to not do it to people know
what I mean to each other.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well, here's what I mean. Here's what I mean if
you break up and the issues that it causes at work,
especially if you work in the same department, Like if
your two cast mates and you're doing it and you
break up, you're going to notice that there is some
sort of weird energy.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, but there's no rule around that on an acting set,
and like right, it's like not a traditional workplace, and
so people do date on sets because it wasn't there.
Like the craziest story, I don't know it, but I
just know it's a crazy story with like Dexter. Was
he like with his wife and his girlfriend and it
was a whole it is a regulation in Dexter, and
(30:31):
it got very messy for everybody in the crew. I
think that's true. I think that was the craziest one
I ever heard on And there was like multiple articles
because he had to continue working and the women had
to continue working there. Yeah, and it was like very challenging.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I could imagine. Yeah, that's one thing that I don't
I wouldn't date a as an actor. I wouldn't date
a coworker in a project that I was working on. Now,
if it had ended and you guys had a thing,
then I could see it, you know, if you if
you pursued it after the fact. But I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it while we were working. It's too
you never know what scenarios the writers are going to write.
(31:09):
You never know what scenarios are going to put you in,
and you never know how your partner's going to react.
Like if if you're you're a couple, and then they
constantly have you dating these other women that come on
the show, yeah, you know, for storyline purposes. You never
know how people react to that. Every weekend, I'm like
making out with some different women, Like, you might feel
some type of way about that, even though we know
it's pretend. Yeah, and I might feel some type of
(31:30):
way if every episode she's like doing sex scenes with
somebody else, that's right, I'm like, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And the acting workplace it is a wild thing, but
it's also hard, I would assume, because if you're like,
have real chemistry with somebody and you're both single and like,
oh yeah, stuff can happen. But I had, like write,
office romance was just like in a normal job. It
wasn't that exciting.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
In Cyprus, it was very, very chill.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I think I've actually had several and they were all
like because again, where else were you going to meet somebody? Yeah,
but there was no like consequence to it. There was
like boss being like I've heard.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, there was no consequence to mine because it wasn't.
We didn't. We didn't make it a thing, make it crazy,
right like, it didn't and we were and we were
in two completely different departments.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, I think it's normal people say they met at work.
I don't know. The teaching thing, it does feel weird
to me. Teachers. I'll say this again, I do want
to hear if you have met your partner at work,
was there any consequence to it? Like? It seems so
strange to me. I'm here for teaching.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Love that. What's that show with something? Remember? What was
it called May December? What's that about?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I don't know you watched these romantic movies. I don't
watch romantic movies.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I didn't watch this one yet, but I should. I should.
I should. Got Corey Michael Smith and he is a
fantastic actor. I gotta check that out. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Oh, I know which one you were talking about. I
read about it. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, in May December. It's about a teacher about teacher.
Uh why am I great actresses? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, super famous persons.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Their names. Yeah, I'm dropping their names for some reason.
But uh anyway, Yeah, did she put.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
In the chat no May December? Julianne Moore and Charles
Milton and Natalie Portman. Yeah, just like a murderer's row
of actors, just like I was gorgeous talented.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I just know Corey Michael Smith said it because I
just worked with him on Saturday Night. He's on that movie.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, that was a big movie.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I remember that so anyway he uh oh yeah yeah
with Dexter. He they did the woman who played his sister.
I remember that. But I didn't know he was married
when he did it.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
There was something I don't know. I got to read
up on it. I'm so sorry Dexter. People have I
got that wrong, but I heard that there was some
real drama put allegations. I know. I'm so sorry, so
sorry to get back. Okay, So our next question is
should we go back to landlines? Do you may recording
your first voicemail?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
I think landlines are cool because you know the surface
is going to be fine. Yeah, you know, everybody should
have one because you know when service is an issue,
like if I'm at home, yeah, I'll call from the
landline just to make sure we're clear, just to make
sure we're good to go and locked in. I remember,
I don't remember it recording my Actually I do, I do,
but mine was a silly one, and I'm drawing a
(34:25):
blank on what exactly it was. But it was one
of those like it was one of those like I'll
act like we're having a conversation and then go, I'm
just kidding. Leave a message.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Everybody did that message where it was like, yeah, you
went like this, hello, yeah, hey, I'm actually not here man,
and that person.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Is yeah, you deep your message like that.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
That was so funny. Yeah, it was fun to leave
your own voice message. And now you don't even do
it on your iPhone. It's so funny. Nobody like leaves
a message really like records one anymore, you just kind
of like whatever.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, what I used to do was record a song.
I used to record a song too. I used to
have some like music playing and then I would come in.
Yeah the morning here right now. Yeah you just hear
like some like jo toicy in the background. Yeah, that's
how I used to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I remember. Here's what I will say about I remember
my first landline. I used to live in Saudi Arabia
and I remember my first landline and I think the
phone number was like six numbers long, like it was
like so short and soud because they didn't have like
a ton of phone and so it was like the
shortest phone number in the world. And I remember feeling
really practiced little. I was like seven years old, and
(35:36):
I was like, oh, I know my phone number, and
now I respect I'm like, yeah, of course you did.
It was like literally two numbers.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, I hope you remembered six numbers in a row
at age six. Yeah, way back in the day. Man,
here's what I will say. When I lived in the
hills and I had to get the landline because she
told me there's no service up in that house, and
I got the landline. It was annoying because that phone
would just ring. Spam people get landline numbers, and so
(36:04):
at night. What the crazy thing was, I'd have to
unplug the phone phone because you can't just be like
I'm going to put you on silent. That doesn't increase.
So I have to unplug the phone, and then you
have to remember to plug in the phone. And I
was like, this is ridiculous. I need bout two dollars back.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I know, because it does keep you up. I had
the same thing recently, because you know, depending on the
I think it was Spectrum. When you get Spectrum cable service,
you know, they make you get the whole package of
the internet phone whatever. It's cheaper if you get the
phone included. And I get the phone included, and I
had a little landline phone that just I never used,
but it would ring all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yes, it rings all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Who's calling it?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
No one has this number except Spectrum.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
The same thing had it unplugged.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
That's right, That's what I'm trying to say. The joke
of it is you can get the landline, but then
it's actually somehow more annoying and then you just unplug
it and now you just got this relic.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, they just want to go to your house.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
They just need that two dollars man.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Making millions that way for everybody to give you two bucks.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
All right, y'all, that was a landline. If you like
this merch you can barely see because of my hair.
It's so cute though. My cosiest sweater in the world.
