Speaker 1 (00:03):
Ring ring ring ring. May I please speak with Zoe?
Oh hello, Lamar, Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot
what it was like working with you. Guys. Hi friend, welcome,
(00:29):
Welcome to our show. Welcome to our show. I don't
know if we explained why our show was called Welcome
to our show. We did, We did, we did, We
did just a long episode. Okay, you know what I
get confused? Yeah, guys, I have something to confess today.
You're sick. I'm sick of of I'm sick of this congestion. Yeah,
(01:00):
what do you have? So we are basically doctors, that's right.
Would you like a cookie? But here's I think. I
think what it is. I think my body is breaking down. Okay,
your body, you're dying. Yeah, you're slowly dying. That's just
I'm hoping. I hope. I'm hoping I clock out a
(01:21):
hundred and fifteen. And you know I'm good years old.
If I die a fever of a hundred and that's
really hallucinating. That's oh. Absolutely, I'm telling you. I've got
(01:41):
weird songs that are just like everything someone says right now,
if it's got even a fraction of a lyric in it.
I'm just in this space where it like pops into
my head. So you just said it's getting hot, you know,
Nelly just popped up into my head. Well you know
what happened when I happened when you just said that. Yeah,
because of my advanced ageh okay, I'm your pre meno
(02:09):
puzzle right now. He's had a menstruation episode on New Girl.
Now enough time has passed that it's now a menopozzle.
That's how old were Winston hot flashes, It's a perfect
Winston episode. Joining the cast of Golden Girls, now, oh
(02:31):
I would love that so much. Oh my god, we too.
Everybody's seen Golden Palace, which is the sequel spinoff. Who
is like everybody except the Arthur or something who was
in it? A very young Don Cheetle. I'm not even
doing yes, I mean that's how we describe, you know,
(02:53):
lamour and all the time. Very young don Cheetle. Thank you,
thank you for saying something means a lot to me
or mildly do exactly age don Cheeta don Cheetle, who
I love it. I worked with and he's amazing. He
refuses the work with me, but it's okay. Well, um,
(03:14):
we're here to talk about an episode called Jess and Julia, Yes,
one of them, and which lots of L O l's.
Is this the first time we meet June Diane Raphael Sadie.
Yes do because and I think, Lamourn, you have the
(03:34):
story right because of the switch. They switched the episode
and she's our friend who's a guy indacologist. Yes, that
is the fun fact. The fun fact about this one
is so in another episode, apparently I'm not sure if
I could say this, but apparently one of the big,
big big wigs, one of our big producers, thought that
(03:57):
the episode that she was going to be introduced in
was a little too heavy Injured Injured, yea too heavy.
And so what they do is they switched the order
of the episodes and so she was introduced in this one. Right,
So we had already shot with her, but it had
not aired yet. Injured had an aired yet. They pushed
it further down into the season. This is the time
(04:17):
the audience is meeting miss June, who is gonna be
on the podcast? Right? We hope? Right? She's on a
podcast I love called how Did This Get Made? Oh? Yeah,
do you guys know that podcast? I do? We start
the episode with Nick and Julia there in there in
(04:38):
bed together, right, is that how we start this episode?
I remember Nick's bed, if you for the audience out there,
if you, if you, if you remember looking just pantages
to the episode, look at his sheets, right, they look
like the dingiest cheats you've ever seen. And this is
a this is a fun fact they are, and they
(04:58):
smell awful. Actually in real life, you smell them. Yeah,
of course we all did, because we all had to
be in that bed at some point or sit on
that bed, and also crew members in between, like you know,
on lunch breaks and stuff like that. People would just
go lay down in that in that bed that if
they ever cleaned those sheets, I don't think. Yeah I
(05:22):
did that. My sheets didn't smell because they had me
in that battle a lot and I would be like, um,
guys please watching them like that. I don't like germs,
and I mean, who does really? Um? And I was
like please. And I also have a dust allergy, so
I was like, this is so. Lizzie Kaplan was just
(05:45):
full like method in that moment. She was like she's disgusting.
She team player right there. So you know what's funny is.
I watched this episode last night with Jonathan and he
was like, when he saw Lizzie caaplan, He's like, she
looks like she's a part of your family. Yeah, And
I was like, you know what she does. We had
(06:05):
we had a project like years ago that we were
kind of talking about where we played like fraternal twins
or friends that pretended to be fraternal twins. If you
guys like that idea, just dm me, don't actually be
um me. I'll never see it. I say that, Just
comment on this episode's post or something and let me know.
(06:26):
If it's overwhelming. I'm sure i'll see I think it's
an automatic green light. It's green. It's green light right now.
Hannah Smone has a green lit this movie. She's talking
about your eyes. She's making fun of your eyes, and yeah,
but her eyes are equally large. That was what was funny.
(06:47):
I was like, excuse me, ma'am, but yeah. So the
episode starts off and they're lying in bed and talking
and then there's a group scene in the bathroom which
sets up one of my favorite bits, which happens at
the end of this episode. Um with the towels. This
(07:08):
is one of my favorite New Girl bits, and actually
Jonathan said it was one of his favorite New Girl bits.
At the end, when it turns out that that Nick
is using Schmidt's towel, that they've been both using the
same towel, and then Nick never washes the towel, Yeah,
he says, the towel washes you. You know what. It's
(07:30):
very solid child thinking though, where you're kind of like,
it's hard to argue against the logic if I've come
out of the shower and my body has just been
scrubbed clean and I'm just drying it with a towel,
what performative thing are we doing by sticking the towel
in the wash to bring it out? Well, Hannah, there's
(07:50):
something called mold, thank you. But if you're hanging it
to dry, uh huh, where is there's no garantee that
there's not going to be some kind of microbial action
and out to dry metaphorically you get real salty and bitter. Yeah.
(08:12):
And also, do you think Nick is really great at
actually washing his body with soap? He might not be,
he says he, you know, he says he's clean, and
but we don't know what he's doing. You know, he
might not have fully waked. He might have just rinsed.
And let's also keep this in mind. He says, I
don't wash the towel. The towel washes me. So the
towel is not just drying him. He's using the towel
(08:32):
as a nick. This is a guy who might not
even know about soap. He doesn't use moisturizer either. And
guys also in a moment like this, this is a
good time for for me to drop a jewel. Jewel,
drop a gem if you will, on your foreheads. So ready, Okay,
(08:53):
my forehead's ready. Get the four heads ready because here
don't look up now, but here comes a gym. Need
to be dropped. This was a very iconic scene. Just
like you said, there was a lot of people's funny,
funniest moment for them. It was definitely one of my
funniest moments for me on the show. It was almost killed.
The scene was almost killed because yes, one of the
(09:17):
one of the higher ups said that Schmidt would come
off as to Queenie and they wanted to kill it
but kept it in and then that became and Schmidt.
This is one of the reasons his character was so
dynamic because of a moment like this and how he
(09:37):
was freaking out about the towels, and it definitely sculpted
his character. I don't. It definitely helped for sure. You know,
anybody would be horrified. Yeah, I don't. I don't think
it designates you as any type of person, you know. No,
(10:00):
it was the entire thing the the towel storyline in general,
where the towel storyline. Yeah, I loved it, And yeah,
one of my favorite characters. Yeah, definitely top five characters
from me on this show. It's so funny because when
I guess you're making a show, you have to top
(10:21):
five characters, you have to pick your battles. You know
what you're gonna fight where the notes that come from
the higher up. So I'm glad they fought for that
because it's one of my favorite storylines in any Yes,
and I in fact think it's like one of the things,
like it's such a definitive storyline for Schmidt, Like it's
(10:42):
it's something I love. Sometimes they're they're like there are
things you'll get notes where they fight against the thing
that makes the character the most unique and exciting. Um
And I definitely think that's a you know I think
this was such a great storyline, and I I love
Schmidt's you know, all of his character um defining moments absolutely. Welcole,
(11:20):
speaking of unique storylines, there's a whole storyline in this
episode about Winston having zero game, which compared to real life,
Lauren have zero game. I have a child. That means
you had sex once. Right, that's right, once once. But
(11:41):
that that's all it takes. That's the whole point of sex,
guys to have kids. Nothing else. I did it. Uh
back to your original statement, Hannah about Winston and not
having game in this particular moment. This is a very
part of the of Winston's evolution. So remember, you know,
(12:04):
we're spoken about the character being all over the place
and some of his traits and being a new character
on the show, trying to find out who exactly he was.
If you're familiar with the show, Winston ends up being
a sweetheart. He's you know, very sweet individual. In this moment,
it's very interesting. He's inconsiderate, he's cocky. I mean the
(12:25):
guys as a dick, you know what I mean. He
ordered he ordered her water on the on their drink
on their first day, you know, for a job at
her own job. Either we saw the evolution of Winston
throughout time, which what you know, throughout our rewatch we'll
talk about, or Winston or the other writers were truly
trying to figure it out and realize that problem that
(12:47):
storyline probably just didn't work. What do you guys think? Well?
I also think, like, what business does he have treating
Kaylee Hawk like that? Look at her? She's gorgeous wife.
I don't know, how could you know? I was really
nervous the first time I worked with her. Yeah, she's
called Fox, she is for real, yea for real. But
(13:09):
then when you talk to her, she's the sweetest person
and so cute and like charming too. I think like
it's um a common thing that happens that men who
have had and women, but mostly men that have um
kind of built in power and being famous, being an athlete,
(13:30):
being whatever translates into power don't have to be as
charming or considerate because a lot of women are just
attracted to the power and the access that can bring,
or men are just naturally drawn to it, which can
lead to somebody all of a sudden being less than
less considerate, right because they don't have to work as hard.
(13:53):
And so it's interesting in this storyline because initially he
has I guess, that kind of power and so he's
not being a very nice person. And now that power
has been stripped from him, and she's just like, oh,
it's just you. You You can take me to a fancy
game where I will not put up and tolerate a
(14:13):
little bit of this attitude. No, And I think it's
a shock to his system. And those are moments of growth,
don't you think that? I mean, I really do, truly.
I mean, at this point in my life, people really
do truly change. I mean it could have been that
Winston was inconsiderate and then became considerate. So I've definitely
seen that with a lot of people. You know, as
(14:35):
you get older, you know, you go through life changes.
And I mean I think I mean from diving very
deep into psyche but going to lockin and like kind
of like like losing that, you know, basketball part of
his life is a big thing and maybe a humbling
thing that turns him into a more considerate person. Yeah,
(14:55):
gets to watch it in this episode. Yeah, him become
a slightly better version of himself. This just in Cally
hawks Um cally Hawks jewelry line is h Crown, the
first black woman to have her jewelry on the cover
of Vogue. Really, that's amazing. I mean when you spent
(15:17):
when it's interesting. When I spent time with her, it
would be she would talk a lot about, you know,
her eclectic taste and jewelry, and she would have all
these cool rings on, and she was I found this
at this boot teach shop for this thing, and it's
and I was so fascinated by that, and and me
I was also confused. I was like, you're an actor,
how do you know so much about jewelry? And then
here you go. It's always been her thing. So diving
(15:40):
right back in. I need to talk about this. I need.
I need to talk about it because bug me watching it,
like I know, because our friendship has rail um this
part where Julia goes, um this the judge might buy
into this whole thing. Oh yeah, no, I know, so
(16:02):
you know it's so funny. I actually paused because I
was watching Johnathan and I actually paused. I was like,
this is this the thing that this episode gets so well?
And I think, just like, hats off to our team
of writers and um our director I think is that
Jake Casson directed this one. I think right, and I
Love wrote this one that wrote this. Hats off to
(16:29):
Jake Cason and um Love. Roque Love wrote this episode
and Jake Caston directed it, and um also our whole
team of writers and everyone, because this captured something that
I have a hard time explaining to people, especially people
who haven't been on the receiving end of this type
(16:49):
of treatment. I've had this many times in my life
where it's like a type of contempt, and that type
of contempt is for something you kind of can't help.
It's something like that's like deep in your soul, like
who Jess is is, who Julia you know, has a
problem with at the beginning of this episode, And I mean,
(17:12):
it can happen to anybody, of course, but um it
does happen a lot with women. And it was always
this thing where it's like hard to explain. I'm like, no, no, no,
And I think this episode gets it so well, especially
when CC and Jess and Sadie are talking around the
kitchen island and Nick comes in and they're kind of
(17:34):
rehashing what Julia said and it doesn't if you and
it's all about tone of voice, but you can tell
from Julia's tone of voice that she like has this
disdain for Jess about Jesse's choice and clothes and you know,
her sense of humor and kind of little things that
(17:55):
aren't really mean or attacks on Julia or anything, but
for reason, Julia hates them. And it's the worst feeling
in the world when somebody just like hates you for
who you are. Have you ever had that? Have you
guys ever had that you for who you are? It's
hard because she's not even the way she frames it
and phrases it, which I found like so hard to digest,
(18:19):
is it's not even like I don't I don't dig you.
It's I don't believe that is who you are. I think, yeah, yeah,
which you are being on. You're putting it on to
make yourself cute, see, so that you can get away
with things in life. And if I behaved like that
and I put that on, then I could have, you know,
things be easier for me. And that was like the
(18:41):
hard part of it, where people kind of look and
think that you're like playing up being sexy or playing
up being like a little dumb or whatever it is.
They think you're doing it. You're like, no, that's just yeah,
that's just it's funny. I have, I mean, I personally
have dealt with that a lot. Like a lot of
this sort of episode was based on a lot of people,
(19:05):
especially when this show came out. I mean, I attack
is kind of a strong work, maybe being snarky or
kind of being critical of me, me Zoe as a
person um for the things that I like and the
way I expressed myself um. And I remember Liz telling
me how mad it made her when you know, people
(19:28):
would dismiss me or treat me that way. And I
think that was, like, I have so appreciated that that
we could kind of address it in this episode between
the Jess and the Julia characters, because you know, it
was something that was frustrating for me because I guess
it's frustrating to be pigeonholed or have people assume that
(19:52):
you're putting something on or you know, you were hyper dissected.
I felt like when this show came out and it
was like people were trying to parse out the parts
that they just felt were that they didn't believe, which
is basically what happened in this episode. And what's so
great about it is a kind of just culminates in
this unapologetic like firing back of like this is exactly
(20:19):
who I am, all of it, all of it, and
you don't have to like it, but you do have
to believe it. This is who I am exactly exactly
and and I you know, not everybody's going to like
you in life, but I remember they were. I was
having to defend myself a lot for wearing bows or
things like that, where I'm like, well, that's just my
(20:40):
taste in clothes. And maybe it's unusual, maybe it's silly,
maybe it's like something that you know, you know, a
child would want to wear. Um, But I'm still an
accomplished person who you know, I'm not. I'm not a
child just because I like to dress like one. You know,
(21:04):
that's a good shirt. By the way, I think a
lot of the people related to it. I think a
lot of people had, you know, and especially women have
been dismissed, you know, and had their clothing taste dissected
in a way that a lot of you know, men
don't have to deal with. I mean, you look at
when Hillary Clinton ran for president, and everybody's like she
(21:27):
chose to wear a red pant suit, and you're like,
nobody said Donald Trump chose to wear a navy pants suit.
Nobody said that, you know about the male candidates. People
were just talking about, you know, what she chose to
wear and dissecting it. And I think that's just something
(21:47):
as a female a lot of times you're having to
deal with. I'm not saying men never have to deal
with it, but you deal with that all the time,
you know. I feel like the undercurrent of the whole
thing is is that we spend so much of our lives,
especially in school, just trying to blend in and not
(22:09):
be noticed because it's scary to put yourself out there. Um.
And then if you're lucky enough in life, you develop
the confidence to identify the things you really like that
are specific to you and then to put them out
into the world. And for most people that kind of
confidence to be like I like poconuts and I like
(22:31):
to hang out with glimma during the day and do
by graphs. I think for a lot of people who
it's um, it's that thing where it shines a light
within themselves where they that's right where it exposes it,
and so they need to attack you that you feel
confident enough to be yourself. That's it and and that's
(22:54):
what it's really upset, because they don't feel like they
have the confidence to be themselves. I mean, I'm you know,
I'm sure it's different for everybody, you know, every situation,
but that that's kind of my takeaway on this episode.
I do want to say, like shout out to Lizzie Kaplan,
who is so great and did such a wonderful job
of capturing this like insecurity in a person and how
(23:19):
it comes out. Like, you know, she's obviously a very
intelligent person. You know, Julia is like a lawyer, she's
very accomplished, um. But she dislikes Jess for the things
that make j Jess um and that's very hard to
for Jess to take. And I think it's also an
(23:41):
expression of Julia's own, you know, insecurities. Here's the thing
that was hard about the episode two to watch, right
because everything we're saying right now is so true, Like
Julia is so wrong for like attacking the authenticity of Jess.
But then just as something I believe it is so shady,
(24:04):
and Julia calls her out in such a direct way,
Oh what did Jess say those shady I think I
think it was a little shaddy to go and tell Nick,
Yeah that guess what this whole thing that you guys
think you're so cool about labels, She wants to know
(24:26):
if you're sleeping with other people, and that's like such
a breaking Yeah. I mean, it's hard though, because Julia
is not being very nice to her, and I think
what she's trying to do is I think what Jess
is trying to do is to prove to Nick that
you know that there's this stuff going on under the surface. Um,
(24:48):
and totally I agree it's wrong for her to repeat that,
but Julia never asks her not to say anything. You know, no, no,
no no. But it's it's hard to say girl code
when they're not friends, you know what I mean. And
it is shaded the way that Jess does it. I agree,
but because Julie calls her out and says, I know what,
(25:10):
I know why you did it. I know why you
did it, which is you're trying to steal my man.
You're trying to steal my man. Deep down you want him,
and I know, deep down he's going to end up
running to you and I know what I see and
she's crying. She understands that there's a deeper connection and
she calls it and guess what, girl is right? Well,
she is right, Um, she is right. Obviously Jess and
(25:32):
Nick end up together. But I don't think Jess knows
that it's definitely not intentional. And I think Jess goes
to the bathroom to apologize, what if we did anything?
She was wrong for doing that? What if art? What
if we did like a rewind and every and we
did like flashbacks and every episode, every situation that ever happened.
Jess goes into her room and rights into her diary.
(25:53):
Do your diary today? It worked my grand master plan,
every every little issue. But I think I think it
is what makes this episode good. It's like Jess has
to have flaws, and it is. It is a flaw.
And it is shady that she said that so directly
to Nick without you know there. I definitely think there
(26:13):
would be a way to kind of indicate to Nick
that Julia wanted something more without telling him what she said.
You know right, Well, it's one of those things where
the mature response is it's like it's none your business, right,
Like let these grown people figure out their grown relationship
(26:35):
on their own. But it's weird because you feel like
this chick has attacked me. Why they say there and
have your back, that's right, And so it gets messy.
And that's what I love about the show is that
it's messys right and you just speak fully in the
right and this relationship with this woman who's not being
(26:55):
cool with her, and so then you watch her be like, oh,
you want to poke the bear, let's go. I'll right back.
So is that the bear in this episode? You know
what the bear was? The where's the bear? Where's the bear?
Where's the bear? Teddy Ruxpan reference? Teddy ruxpin reference. Roxan
(27:18):
been doing this for decades, en, Teddy Roxman listening. If
you're listening, please come on the podcast. You would love
to have you Rexpen. That's nice because sometimes you know,
I have to like really reach for these bear moments.
And that's a legit one. By the way, I do
say blankie, and I'm not ashamed still. I like a
(27:38):
good Blanky can say blank because well, it's like sometimes
it's like you're trying to express I think blanky expresses
something that blanket does not It's like if I'm like,
I'm so tired and I had a bad day or
something and I just want to go home, Like I
just want to go home and get under a blanket
doesn't sound the same as I doesn't want to grow
(27:59):
up with my You know, then you're like, I know
you want to be babied by saying that, you're kind
of like expressly that I also have two kids. And
so all right, everybody, We're going to go to break
and hear about some products that Lamaren loves and um,
when we come back, we're gonna we have a little
(28:20):
audio clip UM from Lizzie Kaplan. I she sent me
very kindly and I have not listened to it yet,
so we're all going to be surprised to hear Lizzie's
take on this episode. Uh so don't go away, we'll
hear you, or you'll hear us in a little bit.
(28:48):
Welcome and we're back with Welcome to our show. And
we have an audio clip from the wonderful Zi Kaplan
that we're all gonna hear for the first time right now. Hi,
So it's worth mentioning um right off the bat that
(29:12):
I have a terrible memory, like one of the worst
memories of all time, So forgive me if it's all
a little blurry. Um. But one thing I do remember
from my time on The New Girl, which was very
I do remember it was very, very fun. I remember
I had a really good time. But in the lead up,
(29:35):
I got a call from Liz Merryweather, who we were friends,
we still our friends, um, and she asked me if
I wanted to come on the show and her new
sitcom that she was making to play like I'll Foil Two,
Zoe's character. She kind of explained it to me, and
(30:00):
I remember being instantly interested in this, partly because I
think Liz is truly a genius, and I was also
a fan of Zoe's. We had never met. I'm pretty
sure we had never met, um. But one thing that
was happening at the time to me constantly was that
(30:21):
I would be compared I guess primarily physically to Zoe.
Maybe I guess maybe that wasn't the whole thing. It
wasn't just physically physically. It was like a constant like, oh,
she looks just like Zoe, she is just like Zoe.
Oh she's like a Zoe Decianelle type, like over and
over and over again, and while there are worse things,
(30:45):
like it wasn't like a growth like it at all.
It was like partly it partly made me feel really good,
but I also just disagreed with it. I felt like
our sensibilities are were and are so different, and so
I would try to figure out what is it? We
both have like big eyes, we both are partial to
(31:06):
two bangs, like what what is it? Because our vibes
feel like kind of polar opposites. So this was like
something that was happening in my life. There's zero chance
that anybody was telling Uzoe that you were a Lizzie
Kaplin type like that was just not a conversation that
was happening. Um. But I remember when called me and
(31:28):
talked to me about this, it was like, ah, here's
an opportunity to put this thing to bed and then
maybe people will stop saying I'm like a budget Zoe
de Chanelle and I can like go off and have
my own career. So that was like, I guess my
reasoning behind doing it. It was like Taylor made for
(31:49):
that argument. I mean that was like the premise of
the show. Uh, And that's like, I guess my biggest
memory from it. I had known Jake Um for a
while as well. I wanted to hang out with him.
I think I knew Max too. It was just like
it was just like the show with the kids that
I liked because we were kids at the time. Um. Yeah,
(32:12):
that's all I got. I guess I could try to
rack my brain for more. Let me know, I hope
you're well very excited about this. Okay, this is so great,
you know. I gotta say, like, Lizzie is so awesome.
And I think what was similar about us is that
we both have low voices, and we have sort of
(32:37):
we could be sisters, right, you know, and then we
look a you know, a bit alike and um have
you know, brown hair and bangs. But for sure, agreed,
we have really different takes. She's a totally different actor
and so awesome in her own right. And I do
(32:59):
think it was really smart of Liz to cast her
in that role. Um. And I'm so happy that, um,
you know that that Lizzie you know, took the part,
because I think it was just it was really perfect.
It would kind of it was perfect as in it
(33:20):
showed how different we were, you know, for her as
an actor, it was perfect, and that it perfectly illustrated
this kind of particular type of character conflict. I guess.
So I love hearing that. That's that's so interesting. So
you're evil twin. Yeah, it's very rare that you can
actually get an opportunity to act across from and and
(33:45):
display the incredible differences between yourself and someone that the
industry has said you are the well you Hannah and
me that we both can't have banks because we both
have brown here and bangs, the Lizzie Kaplan of the world.
(34:07):
It's you know, you wouldn't think that that they would
put two people that you know look similar because they're
so afraid of anybody. But the exact reason why Don
and I haven't is done the Julia's your Jess or
the Jess on our show. We never really shared the
(34:29):
screen together because crazy crazy Well, that's so interesting to
hear that that was a huge motivation for her two
to take the role. It makes me think of a
music video with Katie Perry, well, a lot of Katie
Perry zoey stuff that she wasn't in it. It was
(34:51):
right after she had her baby, and she's she you know,
couldn't do like a whole video and she she was
in it at the very beginning, and then it was
aliens mistake me for her, um, and they think that
I'm her, and then I have to go into this
onto the spaceship and do a performance as Katie Perry. Um.
(35:17):
But um yeah, so we did. But you know it's
so funny. Is now I don't because she's like changed
her hair so many times and she really has that
pop star aesthetic. I do not think we look as
much alike as we did once upon a time. Um. Yeah, so,
but it was so much fun to do that. Yeah.
So I actually have gotten to work with some of
(35:39):
my doppel dangers out there, I know. I mean, I
guess that's a good question to ask. People used to
mistake you for Kim Kardashion. That's true. I when I
moved to l A and I had my bangs, you
didn't chase down the street. Did she have bangs at
the time? She had just at bangs and I had
(36:01):
bangs and friends took me to dinner a little restaurant
called No Boo. And I remember you don't familiar with Nobo.
It's the place Zoe goes through after she lands in
private okay, wait, okay, can I just see no, no, no,
I don't have a private jet. I don't take private jets,
(36:24):
lamar and keeps seasoning you about this. Yeah, I got
chased down the street by these paparazzi screaming Kim and
running after me. And I also actually didn't know who
they were talking about. Remember that, I don't know why
(36:44):
because there's my damn dam and they're just like running
after me getting out of the car to go into
the restaurant and just moved to l A And I
was like, I don't I don't know what's happening. I'm
not Yeah, yeah, um, yeah, I remember that. That's the
that was the big look alike. Want to tell you
(37:06):
you look like Padma because they did keep making that
comparison in the show. Remember, like Schmidt says it, Yeah,
I feel like um, I think I feel like it
did happen in the show. But Bodma Lukshmi as like
a direct reason of why I got a job and
(37:27):
my visa to work down here in the States. Yeah.
The show that got me my visa and offered me
a job to relocate from Canada here. Um was a
show called WCG Ultimate Gamer and they wanted a host.
And the two guys that created that show, Dwight and
Michael m Dwight Smith and Michael Babbian, they were huge
(37:50):
top chef, huge top chefs, and so they were like,
what have we got, like a Padma lection Me type
to host? And because top Chef was huge and she
was hosting that show, and there weren't a lot of
Salthacian women walking through their door to host this gamer show.
And then I walked in and I had bangs and
the long hair and I was Indian and they were like, like,
(38:15):
what do you know about the gaming world. They're like,
not a lot. They're like, it's okay, perfectly perfect. Yeah,
you look like the chick that the Great cooking show
that we like, So it'll work. And so I remember
years later being at the Governor's Ball, the after party
from the Emmy's the Globes one of them, and I
(38:39):
remember being there and I met her for the first
time and I told her that story probably um missing
a bunch of it and overenthusiastically expecting her. I think
she was just sort of like, I'm great because your
(38:59):
response possible for me being here. You broke the ceiling,
You're amazing, and I think she was like, Okay, you're welcome.
I walk away. Anytime you like run up to somebody
really excited, even if you look know them, Yeah, it's
not always like the best response because I've done that
two people I know, thinking they're going to be like, like,
(39:21):
I have something I really want to tell them. I
haven't seen them a long time, and then usually they
don't react well. Right, well, because for me, she's like
this huge defining person in my life that because of
her being on TV. This is why representation matters so much. Right,
they considered me for a job I probably wouldn't have
been considered for. So for her it was like a
(39:43):
he Like for me, sorry, it was a huge moment,
but for her it means nothing. I didn't change her
life in any way. Me showing up didn't change her
life in anyway. So it's just a very honest human
reaction of like, it's very nice to meet you. You know,
I'm happy for you. I'm gonna go back to eating
my through today. Um so, but I remember that moment.
(40:04):
So yes, maybe that's the doppelganger and it led to
like a real result. You guys, real result, because then
I do helps people. That's right. Oh yeah, there's people
used to tell me they would get audition notices that
would say a little more and Morris type. ID be
because I didn't get that call. Yeah, like Irris type
(40:31):
taking that job. I don't know a few people. I
know a few people that there is a cat named
Edwin Brown, um obviously strikingly handsome season two of You,
I want to say Edwin Brown. No. He would message
mea people say we look like and I would look
(40:52):
at the photo and I was pissed. I was like,
we do damn it, we do look alike. And then
and then I start getting all these messages from folks
go and oh my god, Winston is on you. Winston
is on you. And I was like, what are they
talking about? And then when I watched, it's a very
interesting sentence without you all the time. Okay. So I
(41:15):
just looked him up and I at first was like
not really, and then there was like a facial expression
like I scrolled down and there was like one picture
where I was like, wait, is that Lamarne poor Edwin Brown?
Oh yeah, I gotta say he has one expression that
looks like an expression you make and it makes you
(41:36):
guys really look I like to think I've inspired a
generation or just that you look like that one guy.
That would actually have been like a fun episode that
never really happened a New Girl whereof you had like
Lizzie Kaplan, Bob Malekmi Mr Brown playing us. Wait, I
(42:00):
guess there is a flashback moment right where we see
all of our doppelgangers right that exists in New Girl.
There's an episode a flashback, a flashback moment? What am
I saying here? There's where we look across the bar
and we see a bunch of friends that look like us.
(42:22):
I had a stand in. I think she actually stood
in for me on the UM the pilot, and she
was my stand in on Five Hundred Days of Summer
and she looked so much like me. And we had
one scene in Five Days of Summer where he gets
on a bus and there's like all I'm on every
(42:43):
seat basically, but they actually had a whole bus full
of um women dressed up as me, UM, like as
kind of placeholders, and then they ended up putting me
in like later um. But it was really kind of
funny to see that many people dressed episode. It would
(43:03):
be so surreal, that'd be so trippy. Yeah, hey, guys,
question for you, how does this episode end? I want to,
I want to, I want to ends with um Well,
the conclusion to the uh Julia story is that she
comes in and joins our knitting crocheting party, right, And
(43:25):
then the conclusion to the you know Schmidt storyline is
that he kind of he goes for the Jillian Vigman character,
like he goes for it like with her based on
what Hannah a, based on what um CC says, and
(43:49):
then gets arrested. And I want to want to, I
want to, I want to talk about that really quickly.
So um so in this episode, he he runs after her,
and the security guards see this and they're gonna beat
him up and arrest him. Yeah. I mean even as
an audience member, when you see him running across like
you know that, you know they like each other, right,
(44:10):
and it's happening. He ran two down fast. You don't
do that, You don't run that fast. Yeah. Yeah, and
he didn't he run over Yeah, I jumped over you
know Parker. Yeah, he does Parkor screen better. But she
was again, somebody's so enthusiastically Yeah, she was into it.
(44:31):
She was like thank you. Finally they didn't get to
pick up on that audio, so they just went into
like straight up hero mode. Yeah, I would have done
the same thing. I'm not gonna lie to you. I would.
That woman was ready, willing and able. She was she
was she was down. But then the towel conclusion was
(44:58):
the thing that we talked about. Oh oh, and then
sorry your storyline where you take um Kaylee Hawk home
from a date and she doesn't give you a kiss, right,
she just walks into her apartment. You're excited because you
were a gentleman and you did your weird touchdown and
you did that weird dance. That's not weird that that
(45:20):
called that boy. You had a gumby body and kind
of gumby body. And here's why I say that, because
the old Jamaican's old reggae singer named shot By Ranks
I used to have the gumby haircut would dance like this.
You would go your body rolled, put his fingers together.
That was kind of a version of the sho By
(45:41):
Ranks dance. That's that's what I was doing. I'm gonna
bring in the true America. Welcome to true American where
the rules change weekly and you leave more confused than
when you showed up. This week, we're answering listener letters.
(46:02):
That's right, it's time to open up. Then Franklin's letter
back then Franklin my who has the same birthday as
me and you guys? Yeah, I mean not the same year.
Damn you, Sam, You're I look pretty good for being
(46:23):
years old. Um. Okay, So here's some questions from Tyler
m T. How did you guys come up with the
scream cry that Winston does? I mean, we didn't. I
had nothing to do with it. Dn't you want to
answer him really hard? That could have been it. You know.
(46:43):
I was also injury prone on set, so it was
probably some audio they captured from me breaking my thumb
on a bar a jar of honey. I don't know,
but I do think the scream cry every time Winston
did something weird and obscure that just didn't make sense.
I gotta say it was. It was probably not. Probably
it was for sure one of the writers, maybe Liz Um.
(47:07):
You know, the writers would come up with these weird bits,
and you would see them in the in the wings,
just waiting to come up to me and say it
with like a shy, sheepish grin. Hey can you try
this thing? We know it's gonna be alone, and and
I was always game for it. And I think that's
where the scream cry comes from. But as I'm speaking,
(47:30):
holy crap, No, as I'm speaking, I'm realizing what scream
cry they're talking about? Is it the word that is
from if your YouTube? Best cry? Ever? It was from
one of those reality shows where a guy was getting
off drugs and trying to make his his life right
(47:50):
with his family, and that's how he called intervention. That's
what it's from it because that I really like that show.
There we go. I think they gave me a note
and I pulled out the intervention Um, okay from Emily
w or any of the characters on the show based
on real life people. Okay, Now this is more of
a question for Liz Merryweather. But I know that she
(48:13):
had a friend she called Schmidt. Um. She also has
a best friend called c c Oh. Yeah, she's and
she lives in India. She lives in India. Um, she's
not Indian, but she lives in India. And I remember
I went to a dinner that Liz had and there
(48:38):
was place cards for everybody at the dinner, and there's
a place card that said CC. And I was like, well,
that's weird because you know, like when was and I
hang out, it's not like she confuses me for my character.
But I naturally went and sat down there because I'm
just after so many years, you're just so used to
like whatever. I guess things are interchangeable. Whoever made these
(49:00):
place cards, it's made a mistake. And then c C
walked up and she was like, I think you're sitting
in my seat. That's so funny. And I was like what.
And then it turns out that we knew a bunch
of people in common um in India, which is really strange,
and our worlds are like really small. There are a
(49:21):
lot of a lot of people live in India, you know,
do you know Jimmy from India? It was really strange.
So I do know that there is a real CC
and she is like in fashion and is so cool
and she was so nice and we became like best
(49:43):
he's hanging out of that dinner um. And also the
saddest part is that supposed to show how like distracted
you can be in life and just used to being
um confused for something else is that my seat was
actually directly next to her with my name on it,
and you didn't look at it. No. I just was like, oh,
Ceci and sat down and think about it. You thought
you had two seats? Um so UM. I think Jess
(50:09):
was a little bit based on Liz. And then of course,
you know, we all end up having elements of our
own selves that end up in the characters. Just let's
face it, but we should put this question in the
bucket of when Liz May there comes on for sure
walk us through. I will say this. So, the reason
why Jess and Cecy were from Portland was that at
(50:32):
some point I was talking about my my grandma's my
my I had both my grandma's were still alive when
we were, you know, at the beginning of shooting this show,
and I was like, they said, how's your grandma, And
I was like, which grandma? Colorado grandma? I was like, um,
Boulder grandma or Portland grandma? And then Portland Grandma. My
(50:56):
grandma who lived in Portland. Grandma Betty as opposed to
Granny Anne. Grandma Bettie was the inspiration because um, she
lived in Portland. I have a lot of family in
the Pacific Northwest, so that's kind of why Jess and
CC were um ended up being from Portland's Trailblazers. Um Scotty. Yeah, well,
(51:21):
she and her mom played basketball all the time. So um, okay,
I'm gonna I'm gonna do one more and then we
can tackle these other questions on another episode, because I
feel like we want to have time to really get
into them. All right. This is from Karina l I've
always loved all the song choices made in the show.
I was wondering if the cast was ever involved in
(51:43):
choosing the songs. Well, I will say this, they did
license some she and Him stuff over the years, yes,
um yeah. And then also we did do a version
of God Only Knows for New Girl for one of
the Christmas episodes I can't remember which season, And then
Brian Wilson heard our version and liked it so much
(52:08):
that he asked to us to record a version do
a video of a version of us, you know, singing
with him. So that was pretty cool. Um. But yeah,
I mean a lot of there were Liz has fantastic
taste of music. They always had, um, you know, great,
great songs. I'm sure you know when you're on a
(52:30):
show this long, there there's inspiration coming from all directions.
Because we had so many episodes to make, So I'm
sure you know everybody was somehow involved in everything at
some point. I know, I for sure. Me, Sam Richardson
and I wrote a song, wrote um and saying before
(52:50):
performed well and that's music jargon. We wrote and performed
a song called Elatitions at the funeral. I also did.
I also did write a couple of songs in the
show too. Driving in the car right now we were
at the bar. At the bar is you know give
him one of my give him one my greatest hit
(53:12):
CDs is something you know? Him and I we just
I'm not gonna lie to you. We did it, you
did it. I wrote that the episode with Joey King.
She's in my class. It's like season one or two,
and Um, I sing a song to her. Ah, and
I wrote that song. UM one of the songs. The
(53:34):
other one I think maybe Ludwig maybe wrote UM. Anyway, Uh,
this was so much fun. Um serenaded Joey King. Yeah,
she was like, I'm playing a middle schooler on our show.
Does not make you feel old. She was like fifteen
(53:57):
or fourteen. Yeah. Fun fact she was bald because she
was also shaved her head. She was she was shooting
dark night. Yes, yes, night. She really um. And by
the way, I love these questions um from the listeners.
(54:18):
It's my favorite thing. It was one of the major
reasons we wanted to do this podcast was to make
sure that we could answer all your questions. So this
is a fun, true American like it. Yes, yes, and
we have lots more questions, so we'll be answering more
on future episodes. Thanks like and subscribe five star subscribe

what it was like working with you. Guys. Hi friend, welcome,
(00:29):
Welcome to our show. Welcome to our show. I don't
know if we explained why our show was called Welcome
to our show. We did, We did, we did, We
did just a long episode. Okay, you know what I
get confused? Yeah, guys, I have something to confess today.
You're sick. I'm sick of of I'm sick of this congestion. Yeah,
(01:00):
what do you have? So we are basically doctors, that's right.
Would you like a cookie? But here's I think. I
think what it is. I think my body is breaking down. Okay,
your body, you're dying. Yeah, you're slowly dying. That's just
I'm hoping. I hope. I'm hoping I clock out a
(01:21):
hundred and fifteen. And you know I'm good years old.
If I die a fever of a hundred and that's
really hallucinating. That's oh. Absolutely, I'm telling you. I've got
(01:41):
weird songs that are just like everything someone says right now,
if it's got even a fraction of a lyric in it.
I'm just in this space where it like pops into
my head. So you just said it's getting hot, you know,
Nelly just popped up into my head. Well you know
what happened when I happened when you just said that. Yeah,
because of my advanced ageh okay, I'm your pre meno
(02:09):
puzzle right now. He's had a menstruation episode on New Girl.
Now enough time has passed that it's now a menopozzle.
That's how old were Winston hot flashes, It's a perfect
Winston episode. Joining the cast of Golden Girls, now, oh
(02:31):
I would love that so much. Oh my god, we too.
Everybody's seen Golden Palace, which is the sequel spinoff. Who
is like everybody except the Arthur or something who was
in it? A very young Don Cheetle. I'm not even
doing yes, I mean that's how we describe, you know,
(02:53):
lamour and all the time. Very young don Cheetle. Thank you,
thank you for saying something means a lot to me
or mildly do exactly age don Cheeta don Cheetle, who
I love it. I worked with and he's amazing. He
refuses the work with me, but it's okay. Well, um,
(03:14):
we're here to talk about an episode called Jess and Julia, Yes,
one of them, and which lots of L O l's.
Is this the first time we meet June Diane Raphael Sadie.
Yes do because and I think, Lamourn, you have the
(03:34):
story right because of the switch. They switched the episode
and she's our friend who's a guy indacologist. Yes, that
is the fun fact. The fun fact about this one
is so in another episode, apparently I'm not sure if
I could say this, but apparently one of the big,
big big wigs, one of our big producers, thought that
(03:57):
the episode that she was going to be introduced in
was a little too heavy Injured Injured, yea too heavy.
And so what they do is they switched the order
of the episodes and so she was introduced in this one. Right,
So we had already shot with her, but it had
not aired yet. Injured had an aired yet. They pushed
it further down into the season. This is the time
(04:17):
the audience is meeting miss June, who is gonna be
on the podcast? Right? We hope? Right? She's on a
podcast I love called how Did This Get Made? Oh? Yeah,
do you guys know that podcast? I do? We start
the episode with Nick and Julia there in there in
(04:38):
bed together, right, is that how we start this episode?
I remember Nick's bed, if you for the audience out there,
if you, if you, if you remember looking just pantages
to the episode, look at his sheets, right, they look
like the dingiest cheats you've ever seen. And this is
a this is a fun fact they are, and they
(04:58):
smell awful. Actually in real life, you smell them. Yeah,
of course we all did, because we all had to
be in that bed at some point or sit on
that bed, and also crew members in between, like you know,
on lunch breaks and stuff like that. People would just
go lay down in that in that bed that if
they ever cleaned those sheets, I don't think. Yeah I
(05:22):
did that. My sheets didn't smell because they had me
in that battle a lot and I would be like, um,
guys please watching them like that. I don't like germs,
and I mean, who does really? Um? And I was
like please. And I also have a dust allergy, so
I was like, this is so. Lizzie Kaplan was just
(05:45):
full like method in that moment. She was like she's disgusting.
She team player right there. So you know what's funny is.
I watched this episode last night with Jonathan and he
was like, when he saw Lizzie caaplan, He's like, she
looks like she's a part of your family. Yeah, And
I was like, you know what she does. We had
(06:05):
we had a project like years ago that we were
kind of talking about where we played like fraternal twins
or friends that pretended to be fraternal twins. If you
guys like that idea, just dm me, don't actually be
um me. I'll never see it. I say that, Just
comment on this episode's post or something and let me know.
(06:26):
If it's overwhelming. I'm sure i'll see I think it's
an automatic green light. It's green. It's green light right now.
Hannah Smone has a green lit this movie. She's talking
about your eyes. She's making fun of your eyes, and yeah,
but her eyes are equally large. That was what was funny.
(06:47):
I was like, excuse me, ma'am, but yeah. So the
episode starts off and they're lying in bed and talking
and then there's a group scene in the bathroom which
sets up one of my favorite bits, which happens at
the end of this episode. Um with the towels. This
(07:08):
is one of my favorite New Girl bits, and actually
Jonathan said it was one of his favorite New Girl bits.
At the end, when it turns out that that Nick
is using Schmidt's towel, that they've been both using the
same towel, and then Nick never washes the towel, Yeah,
he says, the towel washes you. You know what. It's
(07:30):
very solid child thinking though, where you're kind of like,
it's hard to argue against the logic if I've come
out of the shower and my body has just been
scrubbed clean and I'm just drying it with a towel,
what performative thing are we doing by sticking the towel
in the wash to bring it out? Well, Hannah, there's
(07:50):
something called mold, thank you. But if you're hanging it
to dry, uh huh, where is there's no garantee that
there's not going to be some kind of microbial action
and out to dry metaphorically you get real salty and bitter. Yeah.
(08:12):
And also, do you think Nick is really great at
actually washing his body with soap? He might not be,
he says he, you know, he says he's clean, and
but we don't know what he's doing. You know, he
might not have fully waked. He might have just rinsed.
And let's also keep this in mind. He says, I
don't wash the towel. The towel washes me. So the
towel is not just drying him. He's using the towel
(08:32):
as a nick. This is a guy who might not
even know about soap. He doesn't use moisturizer either. And
guys also in a moment like this, this is a
good time for for me to drop a jewel. Jewel,
drop a gem if you will, on your foreheads. So ready, Okay,
(08:53):
my forehead's ready. Get the four heads ready because here
don't look up now, but here comes a gym. Need
to be dropped. This was a very iconic scene. Just
like you said, there was a lot of people's funny,
funniest moment for them. It was definitely one of my
funniest moments for me on the show. It was almost killed.
The scene was almost killed because yes, one of the
(09:17):
one of the higher ups said that Schmidt would come
off as to Queenie and they wanted to kill it
but kept it in and then that became and Schmidt.
This is one of the reasons his character was so
dynamic because of a moment like this and how he
(09:37):
was freaking out about the towels, and it definitely sculpted
his character. I don't. It definitely helped for sure. You know,
anybody would be horrified. Yeah, I don't. I don't think
it designates you as any type of person, you know. No,
(10:00):
it was the entire thing the the towel storyline in general,
where the towel storyline. Yeah, I loved it, And yeah,
one of my favorite characters. Yeah, definitely top five characters
from me on this show. It's so funny because when
I guess you're making a show, you have to top
(10:21):
five characters, you have to pick your battles. You know
what you're gonna fight where the notes that come from
the higher up. So I'm glad they fought for that
because it's one of my favorite storylines in any Yes,
and I in fact think it's like one of the things,
like it's such a definitive storyline for Schmidt, Like it's
(10:42):
it's something I love. Sometimes they're they're like there are
things you'll get notes where they fight against the thing
that makes the character the most unique and exciting. Um
And I definitely think that's a you know I think
this was such a great storyline, and I I love
Schmidt's you know, all of his character um defining moments absolutely. Welcole,
(11:20):
speaking of unique storylines, there's a whole storyline in this
episode about Winston having zero game, which compared to real life,
Lauren have zero game. I have a child. That means
you had sex once. Right, that's right, once once. But
(11:41):
that that's all it takes. That's the whole point of sex,
guys to have kids. Nothing else. I did it. Uh
back to your original statement, Hannah about Winston and not
having game in this particular moment. This is a very
part of the of Winston's evolution. So remember, you know,
(12:04):
we're spoken about the character being all over the place
and some of his traits and being a new character
on the show, trying to find out who exactly he was.
If you're familiar with the show, Winston ends up being
a sweetheart. He's you know, very sweet individual. In this moment,
it's very interesting. He's inconsiderate, he's cocky. I mean the
(12:25):
guys as a dick, you know what I mean. He
ordered he ordered her water on the on their drink
on their first day, you know, for a job at
her own job. Either we saw the evolution of Winston
throughout time, which what you know, throughout our rewatch we'll
talk about, or Winston or the other writers were truly
trying to figure it out and realize that problem that
(12:47):
storyline probably just didn't work. What do you guys think? Well?
I also think, like, what business does he have treating
Kaylee Hawk like that? Look at her? She's gorgeous wife.
I don't know, how could you know? I was really
nervous the first time I worked with her. Yeah, she's
called Fox, she is for real, yea for real. But
(13:09):
then when you talk to her, she's the sweetest person
and so cute and like charming too. I think like
it's um a common thing that happens that men who
have had and women, but mostly men that have um
kind of built in power and being famous, being an athlete,
(13:30):
being whatever translates into power don't have to be as
charming or considerate because a lot of women are just
attracted to the power and the access that can bring,
or men are just naturally drawn to it, which can
lead to somebody all of a sudden being less than
less considerate, right because they don't have to work as hard.
(13:53):
And so it's interesting in this storyline because initially he
has I guess, that kind of power and so he's
not being a very nice person. And now that power
has been stripped from him, and she's just like, oh,
it's just you. You You can take me to a fancy
game where I will not put up and tolerate a
(14:13):
little bit of this attitude. No, And I think it's
a shock to his system. And those are moments of growth,
don't you think that? I mean, I really do, truly.
I mean, at this point in my life, people really
do truly change. I mean it could have been that
Winston was inconsiderate and then became considerate. So I've definitely
seen that with a lot of people. You know, as
(14:35):
you get older, you know, you go through life changes.
And I mean I think I mean from diving very
deep into psyche but going to lockin and like kind
of like like losing that, you know, basketball part of
his life is a big thing and maybe a humbling
thing that turns him into a more considerate person. Yeah,
(14:55):
gets to watch it in this episode. Yeah, him become
a slightly better version of himself. This just in Cally
hawks Um cally Hawks jewelry line is h Crown, the
first black woman to have her jewelry on the cover
of Vogue. Really, that's amazing. I mean when you spent
(15:17):
when it's interesting. When I spent time with her, it
would be she would talk a lot about, you know,
her eclectic taste and jewelry, and she would have all
these cool rings on, and she was I found this
at this boot teach shop for this thing, and it's
and I was so fascinated by that, and and me
I was also confused. I was like, you're an actor,
how do you know so much about jewelry? And then
here you go. It's always been her thing. So diving
(15:40):
right back in. I need to talk about this. I need.
I need to talk about it because bug me watching it,
like I know, because our friendship has rail um this
part where Julia goes, um this the judge might buy
into this whole thing. Oh yeah, no, I know, so
(16:02):
you know it's so funny. I actually paused because I
was watching Johnathan and I actually paused. I was like,
this is this the thing that this episode gets so well?
And I think, just like, hats off to our team
of writers and um our director I think is that
Jake Casson directed this one. I think right, and I
Love wrote this one that wrote this. Hats off to
(16:29):
Jake Cason and um Love. Roque Love wrote this episode
and Jake Caston directed it, and um also our whole
team of writers and everyone, because this captured something that
I have a hard time explaining to people, especially people
who haven't been on the receiving end of this type
(16:49):
of treatment. I've had this many times in my life
where it's like a type of contempt, and that type
of contempt is for something you kind of can't help.
It's something like that's like deep in your soul, like
who Jess is is, who Julia you know, has a
problem with at the beginning of this episode, And I mean,
(17:12):
it can happen to anybody, of course, but um it
does happen a lot with women. And it was always
this thing where it's like hard to explain. I'm like, no, no, no,
And I think this episode gets it so well, especially
when CC and Jess and Sadie are talking around the
kitchen island and Nick comes in and they're kind of
(17:34):
rehashing what Julia said and it doesn't if you and
it's all about tone of voice, but you can tell
from Julia's tone of voice that she like has this
disdain for Jess about Jesse's choice and clothes and you know,
her sense of humor and kind of little things that
(17:55):
aren't really mean or attacks on Julia or anything, but
for reason, Julia hates them. And it's the worst feeling
in the world when somebody just like hates you for
who you are. Have you ever had that? Have you
guys ever had that you for who you are? It's
hard because she's not even the way she frames it
and phrases it, which I found like so hard to digest,
(18:19):
is it's not even like I don't I don't dig you.
It's I don't believe that is who you are. I think, yeah, yeah,
which you are being on. You're putting it on to
make yourself cute, see, so that you can get away
with things in life. And if I behaved like that
and I put that on, then I could have, you know,
things be easier for me. And that was like the
(18:41):
hard part of it, where people kind of look and
think that you're like playing up being sexy or playing
up being like a little dumb or whatever it is.
They think you're doing it. You're like, no, that's just yeah,
that's just it's funny. I have, I mean, I personally
have dealt with that a lot. Like a lot of
this sort of episode was based on a lot of people,
(19:05):
especially when this show came out. I mean, I attack
is kind of a strong work, maybe being snarky or
kind of being critical of me, me Zoe as a
person um for the things that I like and the
way I expressed myself um. And I remember Liz telling
me how mad it made her when you know, people
(19:28):
would dismiss me or treat me that way. And I
think that was, like, I have so appreciated that that
we could kind of address it in this episode between
the Jess and the Julia characters, because you know, it
was something that was frustrating for me because I guess
it's frustrating to be pigeonholed or have people assume that
(19:52):
you're putting something on or you know, you were hyper dissected.
I felt like when this show came out and it
was like people were trying to parse out the parts
that they just felt were that they didn't believe, which
is basically what happened in this episode. And what's so
great about it is a kind of just culminates in
this unapologetic like firing back of like this is exactly
(20:19):
who I am, all of it, all of it, and
you don't have to like it, but you do have
to believe it. This is who I am exactly exactly
and and I you know, not everybody's going to like
you in life, but I remember they were. I was
having to defend myself a lot for wearing bows or
things like that, where I'm like, well, that's just my
(20:40):
taste in clothes. And maybe it's unusual, maybe it's silly,
maybe it's like something that you know, you know, a
child would want to wear. Um, But I'm still an
accomplished person who you know, I'm not. I'm not a
child just because I like to dress like one. You know,
(21:04):
that's a good shirt. By the way, I think a
lot of the people related to it. I think a
lot of people had, you know, and especially women have
been dismissed, you know, and had their clothing taste dissected
in a way that a lot of you know, men
don't have to deal with. I mean, you look at
when Hillary Clinton ran for president, and everybody's like she
(21:27):
chose to wear a red pant suit, and you're like,
nobody said Donald Trump chose to wear a navy pants suit.
Nobody said that, you know about the male candidates. People
were just talking about, you know, what she chose to
wear and dissecting it. And I think that's just something
(21:47):
as a female a lot of times you're having to
deal with. I'm not saying men never have to deal
with it, but you deal with that all the time,
you know. I feel like the undercurrent of the whole
thing is is that we spend so much of our lives,
especially in school, just trying to blend in and not
(22:09):
be noticed because it's scary to put yourself out there. Um.
And then if you're lucky enough in life, you develop
the confidence to identify the things you really like that
are specific to you and then to put them out
into the world. And for most people that kind of
confidence to be like I like poconuts and I like
(22:31):
to hang out with glimma during the day and do
by graphs. I think for a lot of people who
it's um, it's that thing where it shines a light
within themselves where they that's right where it exposes it,
and so they need to attack you that you feel
confident enough to be yourself. That's it and and that's
(22:54):
what it's really upset, because they don't feel like they
have the confidence to be themselves. I mean, I'm you know,
I'm sure it's different for everybody, you know, every situation,
but that that's kind of my takeaway on this episode.
I do want to say, like shout out to Lizzie Kaplan,
who is so great and did such a wonderful job
of capturing this like insecurity in a person and how
(23:19):
it comes out. Like, you know, she's obviously a very
intelligent person. You know, Julia is like a lawyer, she's
very accomplished, um. But she dislikes Jess for the things
that make j Jess um and that's very hard to
for Jess to take. And I think it's also an
(23:41):
expression of Julia's own, you know, insecurities. Here's the thing
that was hard about the episode two to watch, right
because everything we're saying right now is so true, Like
Julia is so wrong for like attacking the authenticity of Jess.
But then just as something I believe it is so shady,
(24:04):
and Julia calls her out in such a direct way,
Oh what did Jess say those shady I think I
think it was a little shaddy to go and tell Nick,
Yeah that guess what this whole thing that you guys
think you're so cool about labels, She wants to know
(24:26):
if you're sleeping with other people, and that's like such
a breaking Yeah. I mean, it's hard though, because Julia
is not being very nice to her, and I think
what she's trying to do is I think what Jess
is trying to do is to prove to Nick that
you know that there's this stuff going on under the surface. Um,
(24:48):
and totally I agree it's wrong for her to repeat that,
but Julia never asks her not to say anything. You know, no, no,
no no. But it's it's hard to say girl code
when they're not friends, you know what I mean. And
it is shaded the way that Jess does it. I agree,
but because Julie calls her out and says, I know what,
(25:10):
I know why you did it. I know why you
did it, which is you're trying to steal my man.
You're trying to steal my man. Deep down you want him,
and I know, deep down he's going to end up
running to you and I know what I see and
she's crying. She understands that there's a deeper connection and
she calls it and guess what, girl is right? Well,
she is right, Um, she is right. Obviously Jess and
(25:32):
Nick end up together. But I don't think Jess knows
that it's definitely not intentional. And I think Jess goes
to the bathroom to apologize, what if we did anything?
She was wrong for doing that? What if art? What
if we did like a rewind and every and we
did like flashbacks and every episode, every situation that ever happened.
Jess goes into her room and rights into her diary.
(25:53):
Do your diary today? It worked my grand master plan,
every every little issue. But I think I think it
is what makes this episode good. It's like Jess has
to have flaws, and it is. It is a flaw.
And it is shady that she said that so directly
to Nick without you know there. I definitely think there
(26:13):
would be a way to kind of indicate to Nick
that Julia wanted something more without telling him what she said.
You know right, Well, it's one of those things where
the mature response is it's like it's none your business, right,
Like let these grown people figure out their grown relationship
(26:35):
on their own. But it's weird because you feel like
this chick has attacked me. Why they say there and
have your back, that's right, And so it gets messy.
And that's what I love about the show is that
it's messys right and you just speak fully in the
right and this relationship with this woman who's not being
(26:55):
cool with her, and so then you watch her be like, oh,
you want to poke the bear, let's go. I'll right back.
So is that the bear in this episode? You know
what the bear was? The where's the bear? Where's the bear?
Where's the bear? Teddy Ruxpan reference? Teddy ruxpin reference. Roxan
(27:18):
been doing this for decades, en, Teddy Roxman listening. If
you're listening, please come on the podcast. You would love
to have you Rexpen. That's nice because sometimes you know,
I have to like really reach for these bear moments.
And that's a legit one. By the way, I do
say blankie, and I'm not ashamed still. I like a
(27:38):
good Blanky can say blank because well, it's like sometimes
it's like you're trying to express I think blanky expresses
something that blanket does not It's like if I'm like,
I'm so tired and I had a bad day or
something and I just want to go home, Like I
just want to go home and get under a blanket
doesn't sound the same as I doesn't want to grow
(27:59):
up with my You know, then you're like, I know
you want to be babied by saying that, you're kind
of like expressly that I also have two kids. And
so all right, everybody, We're going to go to break
and hear about some products that Lamaren loves and um,
when we come back, we're gonna we have a little
(28:20):
audio clip UM from Lizzie Kaplan. I she sent me
very kindly and I have not listened to it yet,
so we're all going to be surprised to hear Lizzie's
take on this episode. Uh so don't go away, we'll
hear you, or you'll hear us in a little bit.
(28:48):
Welcome and we're back with Welcome to our show. And
we have an audio clip from the wonderful Zi Kaplan
that we're all gonna hear for the first time right now. Hi,
So it's worth mentioning um right off the bat that
(29:12):
I have a terrible memory, like one of the worst
memories of all time, So forgive me if it's all
a little blurry. Um. But one thing I do remember
from my time on The New Girl, which was very
I do remember it was very, very fun. I remember
I had a really good time. But in the lead up,
(29:35):
I got a call from Liz Merryweather, who we were friends,
we still our friends, um, and she asked me if
I wanted to come on the show and her new
sitcom that she was making to play like I'll Foil Two,
Zoe's character. She kind of explained it to me, and
(30:00):
I remember being instantly interested in this, partly because I
think Liz is truly a genius, and I was also
a fan of Zoe's. We had never met. I'm pretty
sure we had never met, um. But one thing that
was happening at the time to me constantly was that
(30:21):
I would be compared I guess primarily physically to Zoe.
Maybe I guess maybe that wasn't the whole thing. It
wasn't just physically physically. It was like a constant like, oh,
she looks just like Zoe, she is just like Zoe.
Oh she's like a Zoe Decianelle type, like over and
over and over again, and while there are worse things,
(30:45):
like it wasn't like a growth like it at all.
It was like partly it partly made me feel really good,
but I also just disagreed with it. I felt like
our sensibilities are were and are so different, and so
I would try to figure out what is it? We
both have like big eyes, we both are partial to
(31:06):
two bangs, like what what is it? Because our vibes
feel like kind of polar opposites. So this was like
something that was happening in my life. There's zero chance
that anybody was telling Uzoe that you were a Lizzie
Kaplin type like that was just not a conversation that
was happening. Um. But I remember when called me and
(31:28):
talked to me about this, it was like, ah, here's
an opportunity to put this thing to bed and then
maybe people will stop saying I'm like a budget Zoe
de Chanelle and I can like go off and have
my own career. So that was like, I guess my
reasoning behind doing it. It was like Taylor made for
(31:49):
that argument. I mean that was like the premise of
the show. Uh, And that's like, I guess my biggest
memory from it. I had known Jake Um for a
while as well. I wanted to hang out with him.
I think I knew Max too. It was just like
it was just like the show with the kids that
I liked because we were kids at the time. Um. Yeah,
(32:12):
that's all I got. I guess I could try to
rack my brain for more. Let me know, I hope
you're well very excited about this. Okay, this is so great,
you know. I gotta say, like, Lizzie is so awesome.
And I think what was similar about us is that
we both have low voices, and we have sort of
(32:37):
we could be sisters, right, you know, and then we
look a you know, a bit alike and um have
you know, brown hair and bangs. But for sure, agreed,
we have really different takes. She's a totally different actor
and so awesome in her own right. And I do
(32:59):
think it was really smart of Liz to cast her
in that role. Um. And I'm so happy that, um,
you know that that Lizzie you know, took the part,
because I think it was just it was really perfect.
It would kind of it was perfect as in it
(33:20):
showed how different we were, you know, for her as
an actor, it was perfect, and that it perfectly illustrated
this kind of particular type of character conflict. I guess.
So I love hearing that. That's that's so interesting. So
you're evil twin. Yeah, it's very rare that you can
actually get an opportunity to act across from and and
(33:45):
display the incredible differences between yourself and someone that the
industry has said you are the well you Hannah and
me that we both can't have banks because we both
have brown here and bangs, the Lizzie Kaplan of the world.
(34:07):
It's you know, you wouldn't think that that they would
put two people that you know look similar because they're
so afraid of anybody. But the exact reason why Don
and I haven't is done the Julia's your Jess or
the Jess on our show. We never really shared the
(34:29):
screen together because crazy crazy Well, that's so interesting to
hear that that was a huge motivation for her two
to take the role. It makes me think of a
music video with Katie Perry, well, a lot of Katie
Perry zoey stuff that she wasn't in it. It was
(34:51):
right after she had her baby, and she's she you know,
couldn't do like a whole video and she she was
in it at the very beginning, and then it was
aliens mistake me for her, um, and they think that
I'm her, and then I have to go into this
onto the spaceship and do a performance as Katie Perry. Um.
(35:17):
But um yeah, so we did. But you know it's
so funny. Is now I don't because she's like changed
her hair so many times and she really has that
pop star aesthetic. I do not think we look as
much alike as we did once upon a time. Um. Yeah, so,
but it was so much fun to do that. Yeah.
So I actually have gotten to work with some of
(35:39):
my doppel dangers out there, I know. I mean, I
guess that's a good question to ask. People used to
mistake you for Kim Kardashion. That's true. I when I
moved to l A and I had my bangs, you
didn't chase down the street. Did she have bangs at
the time? She had just at bangs and I had
(36:01):
bangs and friends took me to dinner a little restaurant
called No Boo. And I remember you don't familiar with Nobo.
It's the place Zoe goes through after she lands in
private okay, wait, okay, can I just see no, no, no,
I don't have a private jet. I don't take private jets,
(36:24):
lamar and keeps seasoning you about this. Yeah, I got
chased down the street by these paparazzi screaming Kim and
running after me. And I also actually didn't know who
they were talking about. Remember that, I don't know why
(36:44):
because there's my damn dam and they're just like running
after me getting out of the car to go into
the restaurant and just moved to l A And I
was like, I don't I don't know what's happening. I'm
not Yeah, yeah, um, yeah, I remember that. That's the
that was the big look alike. Want to tell you
(37:06):
you look like Padma because they did keep making that
comparison in the show. Remember, like Schmidt says it, Yeah,
I feel like um, I think I feel like it
did happen in the show. But Bodma Lukshmi as like
a direct reason of why I got a job and
(37:27):
my visa to work down here in the States. Yeah.
The show that got me my visa and offered me
a job to relocate from Canada here. Um was a
show called WCG Ultimate Gamer and they wanted a host.
And the two guys that created that show, Dwight and
Michael m Dwight Smith and Michael Babbian, they were huge
(37:50):
top chef, huge top chefs, and so they were like,
what have we got, like a Padma lection Me type
to host? And because top Chef was huge and she
was hosting that show, and there weren't a lot of
Salthacian women walking through their door to host this gamer show.
And then I walked in and I had bangs and
the long hair and I was Indian and they were like, like,
(38:15):
what do you know about the gaming world. They're like,
not a lot. They're like, it's okay, perfectly perfect. Yeah,
you look like the chick that the Great cooking show
that we like, So it'll work. And so I remember
years later being at the Governor's Ball, the after party
from the Emmy's the Globes one of them, and I
(38:39):
remember being there and I met her for the first
time and I told her that story probably um missing
a bunch of it and overenthusiastically expecting her. I think
she was just sort of like, I'm great because your
(38:59):
response possible for me being here. You broke the ceiling,
You're amazing, and I think she was like, Okay, you're welcome.
I walk away. Anytime you like run up to somebody
really excited, even if you look know them, Yeah, it's
not always like the best response because I've done that
two people I know, thinking they're going to be like, like,
(39:21):
I have something I really want to tell them. I
haven't seen them a long time, and then usually they
don't react well. Right, well, because for me, she's like
this huge defining person in my life that because of
her being on TV. This is why representation matters so much. Right,
they considered me for a job I probably wouldn't have
been considered for. So for her it was like a
(39:43):
he Like for me, sorry, it was a huge moment,
but for her it means nothing. I didn't change her
life in any way. Me showing up didn't change her
life in anyway. So it's just a very honest human
reaction of like, it's very nice to meet you. You know,
I'm happy for you. I'm gonna go back to eating
my through today. Um so, but I remember that moment.
(40:04):
So yes, maybe that's the doppelganger and it led to
like a real result. You guys, real result, because then
I do helps people. That's right. Oh yeah, there's people
used to tell me they would get audition notices that
would say a little more and Morris type. ID be
because I didn't get that call. Yeah, like Irris type
(40:31):
taking that job. I don't know a few people. I
know a few people that there is a cat named
Edwin Brown, um obviously strikingly handsome season two of You,
I want to say Edwin Brown. No. He would message
mea people say we look like and I would look
(40:52):
at the photo and I was pissed. I was like,
we do damn it, we do look alike. And then
and then I start getting all these messages from folks
go and oh my god, Winston is on you. Winston
is on you. And I was like, what are they
talking about? And then when I watched, it's a very
interesting sentence without you all the time. Okay. So I
(41:15):
just looked him up and I at first was like
not really, and then there was like a facial expression
like I scrolled down and there was like one picture
where I was like, wait, is that Lamarne poor Edwin Brown?
Oh yeah, I gotta say he has one expression that
looks like an expression you make and it makes you
(41:36):
guys really look I like to think I've inspired a
generation or just that you look like that one guy.
That would actually have been like a fun episode that
never really happened a New Girl whereof you had like
Lizzie Kaplan, Bob Malekmi Mr Brown playing us. Wait, I
(42:00):
guess there is a flashback moment right where we see
all of our doppelgangers right that exists in New Girl.
There's an episode a flashback, a flashback moment? What am
I saying here? There's where we look across the bar
and we see a bunch of friends that look like us.
(42:22):
I had a stand in. I think she actually stood
in for me on the UM the pilot, and she
was my stand in on Five Hundred Days of Summer
and she looked so much like me. And we had
one scene in Five Days of Summer where he gets
on a bus and there's like all I'm on every
(42:43):
seat basically, but they actually had a whole bus full
of um women dressed up as me, UM, like as
kind of placeholders, and then they ended up putting me
in like later um. But it was really kind of
funny to see that many people dressed episode. It would
(43:03):
be so surreal, that'd be so trippy. Yeah, hey, guys,
question for you, how does this episode end? I want to,
I want to, I want to ends with um Well,
the conclusion to the uh Julia story is that she
comes in and joins our knitting crocheting party, right, And
(43:25):
then the conclusion to the you know Schmidt storyline is
that he kind of he goes for the Jillian Vigman character,
like he goes for it like with her based on
what Hannah a, based on what um CC says, and
(43:49):
then gets arrested. And I want to want to, I
want to, I want to talk about that really quickly.
So um so in this episode, he he runs after her,
and the security guards see this and they're gonna beat
him up and arrest him. Yeah. I mean even as
an audience member, when you see him running across like
you know that, you know they like each other, right,
(44:10):
and it's happening. He ran two down fast. You don't
do that, You don't run that fast. Yeah. Yeah, and
he didn't he run over Yeah, I jumped over you
know Parker. Yeah, he does Parkor screen better. But she
was again, somebody's so enthusiastically Yeah, she was into it.
(44:31):
She was like thank you. Finally they didn't get to
pick up on that audio, so they just went into
like straight up hero mode. Yeah, I would have done
the same thing. I'm not gonna lie to you. I would.
That woman was ready, willing and able. She was she
was she was down. But then the towel conclusion was
(44:58):
the thing that we talked about. Oh oh, and then
sorry your storyline where you take um Kaylee Hawk home
from a date and she doesn't give you a kiss, right,
she just walks into her apartment. You're excited because you
were a gentleman and you did your weird touchdown and
you did that weird dance. That's not weird that that
(45:20):
called that boy. You had a gumby body and kind
of gumby body. And here's why I say that, because
the old Jamaican's old reggae singer named shot By Ranks
I used to have the gumby haircut would dance like this.
You would go your body rolled, put his fingers together.
That was kind of a version of the sho By
(45:41):
Ranks dance. That's that's what I was doing. I'm gonna
bring in the true America. Welcome to true American where
the rules change weekly and you leave more confused than
when you showed up. This week, we're answering listener letters.
(46:02):
That's right, it's time to open up. Then Franklin's letter
back then Franklin my who has the same birthday as
me and you guys? Yeah, I mean not the same year.
Damn you, Sam, You're I look pretty good for being
(46:23):
years old. Um. Okay, So here's some questions from Tyler
m T. How did you guys come up with the
scream cry that Winston does? I mean, we didn't. I
had nothing to do with it. Dn't you want to
answer him really hard? That could have been it. You know.
(46:43):
I was also injury prone on set, so it was
probably some audio they captured from me breaking my thumb
on a bar a jar of honey. I don't know,
but I do think the scream cry every time Winston
did something weird and obscure that just didn't make sense.
I gotta say it was. It was probably not. Probably
it was for sure one of the writers, maybe Liz Um.
(47:07):
You know, the writers would come up with these weird bits,
and you would see them in the in the wings,
just waiting to come up to me and say it
with like a shy, sheepish grin. Hey can you try
this thing? We know it's gonna be alone, and and
I was always game for it. And I think that's
where the scream cry comes from. But as I'm speaking,
(47:30):
holy crap, No, as I'm speaking, I'm realizing what scream
cry they're talking about? Is it the word that is
from if your YouTube? Best cry? Ever? It was from
one of those reality shows where a guy was getting
off drugs and trying to make his his life right
(47:50):
with his family, and that's how he called intervention. That's
what it's from it because that I really like that show.
There we go. I think they gave me a note
and I pulled out the intervention Um, okay from Emily
w or any of the characters on the show based
on real life people. Okay, Now this is more of
a question for Liz Merryweather. But I know that she
(48:13):
had a friend she called Schmidt. Um. She also has
a best friend called c c Oh. Yeah, she's and
she lives in India. She lives in India. Um, she's
not Indian, but she lives in India. And I remember
I went to a dinner that Liz had and there
(48:38):
was place cards for everybody at the dinner, and there's
a place card that said CC. And I was like, well,
that's weird because you know, like when was and I
hang out, it's not like she confuses me for my character.
But I naturally went and sat down there because I'm
just after so many years, you're just so used to
like whatever. I guess things are interchangeable. Whoever made these
(49:00):
place cards, it's made a mistake. And then c C
walked up and she was like, I think you're sitting
in my seat. That's so funny. And I was like what.
And then it turns out that we knew a bunch
of people in common um in India, which is really strange,
and our worlds are like really small. There are a
(49:21):
lot of a lot of people live in India, you know,
do you know Jimmy from India? It was really strange.
So I do know that there is a real CC
and she is like in fashion and is so cool
and she was so nice and we became like best
(49:43):
he's hanging out of that dinner um. And also the
saddest part is that supposed to show how like distracted
you can be in life and just used to being
um confused for something else is that my seat was
actually directly next to her with my name on it,
and you didn't look at it. No. I just was like, oh,
Ceci and sat down and think about it. You thought
you had two seats? Um so UM. I think Jess
(50:09):
was a little bit based on Liz. And then of course,
you know, we all end up having elements of our
own selves that end up in the characters. Just let's
face it, but we should put this question in the
bucket of when Liz May there comes on for sure
walk us through. I will say this. So, the reason
why Jess and Cecy were from Portland was that at
(50:32):
some point I was talking about my my grandma's my
my I had both my grandma's were still alive when
we were, you know, at the beginning of shooting this show,
and I was like, they said, how's your grandma, And
I was like, which grandma? Colorado grandma? I was like, um,
Boulder grandma or Portland grandma? And then Portland Grandma. My
(50:56):
grandma who lived in Portland. Grandma Betty as opposed to
Granny Anne. Grandma Bettie was the inspiration because um, she
lived in Portland. I have a lot of family in
the Pacific Northwest, so that's kind of why Jess and
CC were um ended up being from Portland's Trailblazers. Um Scotty. Yeah, well,
(51:21):
she and her mom played basketball all the time. So um, okay,
I'm gonna I'm gonna do one more and then we
can tackle these other questions on another episode, because I
feel like we want to have time to really get
into them. All right. This is from Karina l I've
always loved all the song choices made in the show.
I was wondering if the cast was ever involved in
(51:43):
choosing the songs. Well, I will say this, they did
license some she and Him stuff over the years, yes,
um yeah. And then also we did do a version
of God Only Knows for New Girl for one of
the Christmas episodes I can't remember which season, And then
Brian Wilson heard our version and liked it so much
(52:08):
that he asked to us to record a version do
a video of a version of us, you know, singing
with him. So that was pretty cool. Um. But yeah,
I mean a lot of there were Liz has fantastic
taste of music. They always had, um, you know, great,
great songs. I'm sure you know when you're on a
(52:30):
show this long, there there's inspiration coming from all directions.
Because we had so many episodes to make, So I'm
sure you know everybody was somehow involved in everything at
some point. I know, I for sure. Me, Sam Richardson
and I wrote a song, wrote um and saying before
(52:50):
performed well and that's music jargon. We wrote and performed
a song called Elatitions at the funeral. I also did.
I also did write a couple of songs in the
show too. Driving in the car right now we were
at the bar. At the bar is you know give
him one of my give him one my greatest hit
(53:12):
CDs is something you know? Him and I we just
I'm not gonna lie to you. We did it, you
did it. I wrote that the episode with Joey King.
She's in my class. It's like season one or two,
and Um, I sing a song to her. Ah, and
I wrote that song. UM one of the songs. The
(53:34):
other one I think maybe Ludwig maybe wrote UM. Anyway, Uh,
this was so much fun. Um serenaded Joey King. Yeah,
she was like, I'm playing a middle schooler on our show.
Does not make you feel old. She was like fifteen
(53:57):
or fourteen. Yeah. Fun fact she was bald because she
was also shaved her head. She was she was shooting
dark night. Yes, yes, night. She really um. And by
the way, I love these questions um from the listeners.
