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, Welcome to our show.
(00:30):
Every Welcome to our show. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Thank
you for being here, Thank you for being here. Take
your shoes off, take your pants. Don't take your pants off. Well,
if you're at home and you're in the privacy of
your own place, I think it's fine to take your
pants off. But weird traffic. Yeah, you're in traffic or
(00:53):
on the train, don't take your pants off, right, that's right? Yes,
is an episode all about control and a apriatness exactly.
Don't take your pants off unless you're Schmidt in this episode,
or a streaker. You know, if you wanted those flashers,
you're a streetcar flasher. Then five, then do you think
(01:16):
you know what? Forget it, We're not. We're not telling
you what to do. You know, you're in charge of
your bodies. Episode one six, Team Control. It was supposed
to be so simple. All just wanted to do was
bring a hutch into her shared living space. What's wrong
with that? How was she to know it would upset
the delicate balance of the entire loft. Meanwhile, Schmidt feels
(01:38):
out of control in his relationship with c C, who
was basically using Schmidt as a booty call at this point.
Damn Cca now used to calling the shots. Schmidt. He
can't take any more uncertainties. And here's what he does.
You guessed it. He smashes jess as Hutch that is,
that is absolutely ridiculous. But Jessica Day won't be so
(01:59):
easy put out. She takes Schmidt to Venice Beach to
get him to loosen up a bit, because if you've
been to Venice Beach, they loose down there. Yet fall loose.
While there, Schmidt lets his freak flag fly. Back at home,
things fall apart. Since Schmidt is the one who cooks,
he's the one who cleans, He's the one who does
all the grocery shopping. Jess Winston and Nick they'll left
(02:23):
the fan for themselves. The place looks ridiculous, young looks
like a hurricane went off in the kitchen. It turns
out you can't make Schmidt better by trying to change him.
This is the best he gets. In the end, Schmidt
goes back to his original controlling himself as a roommate,
but he learns to let Cec control the pace of
their budding relationship. Now back to our ship, guys, Hi,
(02:46):
Hey up, Um, I dig this episode. I really, I
really did enjoy think Lebart wrote this episode and it's
so funny. It's very funny and directed by the amazing
Jess Kretz. Yes, Jesse school friends with him, right, Yeah.
(03:09):
So I I met Jesse when I did a video
for Jimmy Fallon's had like a comedy album and I
was in the video for his comedy album. He had
a song called Idiot Boyfriend and I was in this
video and Jesse directed it and it was like a
spoof of a bunch of kind of seventies and eighties
(03:32):
videos and it was really fun. And I met Jesse,
and I met Georgie, who was our makeup artist on
New Girl. I met her on that and I met
um Jesse. As I've said three times now, and anyway,
I met Jesse, and um he became my friend, and
(03:53):
his lovely wife became my friend, Um, Sarah and um.
And then when we were doing New Girl, I asked
him to direct some episodes because he also directed some
movies that I absolutely love. Um, I did a movie
with him as well. I did a movie called Our
Idiot Brother, but he did. Have you guys seen the
(04:13):
movie that Jesse directed called The Chateau No, Oh my God,
Run don't Walk. It's so funny. It's about Paul Rudd
and Romney Malco play brothers who inherit a chateau in
France and they go to claim the chateau and they
(04:33):
meet all these crazy characters but it's mostly improvised. Such
a funny, funny movie. Everybody watch it. It's so good.
Chau the Chateau. It's great. Moving on to this episode
because that's what everybody's I guess listening for. You know,
I want to you know this episode was I want
(04:58):
to say, and maybe we could talk about a little
bit later, but I want to say, this is the
episode that Max Greenfield got nominated for an Emmy four
or submitted. How's that work is? Both? Yes, we both
got nominated and they sent We each got to submit
(05:18):
an episode that would be like the the um the
example of our finest acting on the show. And his
episode got submitted for me, and my my episode got
submitted for him, and there was like some committee and
then they were like, we swear, so they told us
(05:40):
there was this mix up and then they were like,
but they resent them, and they everybody swears they watched
the new episode and I was like, it's over. It's over.
Neither one of us won UM and we'll never know
if it was the episode mix up or just are
(06:01):
not being as good as the other for the person
who won UM. But yes, this was his, This was
his episode that he wanted to submit and he is
fantastic in this episode. Yeah, he's It's a good performance
piece for him because he gets to be all kinds
of things, and real transformation happens because if you know Schmidt, um,
(06:22):
you get to see the opposite side of Schmidt, and
the and the folks in the loft talk about it
when Jess is trying to change him, and that's a
big no no in this loft. Apparently you don't want
to you don't want to know the origin of Schmidt.
And then we we flashed back into the origin. Yeah,
Winston and um Nick no darn well that you can't
(06:46):
try to change Schmidt because bad things happen, But Jess
she wants to try. I love what he says though,
because he's or Winston says it says, he just gets worse,
like there's no improvement. This is the bast it's gonna be,
so don't mess. At least it cleans up. That's right,
it'll take a turn to a bad place. What I thought?
(07:08):
What I think about this, But just visually you see,
um the flashback of Was this the first time we
saw a flashback of the of Nick Winston and Schmidt?
Was this the at the same time? Because I remember,
I feel like it was. I had these kawuahi Leonard
braids for all the basketball fans out there. Uh so,
(07:28):
technically I technically quit. Leonard being younger than me, stole
my hairstyle from this episode. That's a fact. How dare he?
That's a fact? You know a Winston's has he given
you a thank you? Royalties? He is a new Girl fan.
(07:52):
So this is the first time we see these braids
in the episode. Yeah, it's the first time we see
these braids, the first time we see the soul patch.
I think on Nick Miller and I don't think this
is this is not the first time we've seen Big Schmidt.
It's not. It's not. Yeah, I think there was definitely.
I'm pretty sure there's a flashback in a previous episode
with Nick and Schmidt. I forgot that he vomited in
(08:17):
that flashback. And there's something when I see Lettuce throw
up makes me I can't feel me too, do not
like it? And I forgot that it happened, and so
I was like watching and then I was just like,
oh no, I would have definitely looked away if I'd
remember that Folks's birthday Folks d m her all the
m oh my god, don't do that, but her birthdays
(08:43):
in August? Okay. Um. We also see the apartment empty. Yeah,
don't pass out the apartment, And I feel like the
only other time we see that is in the series finale. Yeah,
we see the empty apartment. See how big that places?
That rent must have been high, bro, extremely high. Um.
(09:04):
And it's weird seeing it on TV like that, um,
just because I don't know. I don't know why it
is even during like set changes sometimes you'll come in
and you'll see it empty, but seeing it on television
like that, especially during especially now going back to rewatch it,
it's very I don't know. It moved me in a
a in a very strange way. I will say this
episode is like the true roommate episode, which is the
(09:29):
truth of living with the roommate is the balance. What
kind of um chores do every does everybody take on
with everyone's strengths, what do you just have to live with?
And we really hadn't explored that in the show up
to this point. And that's why I love this episode
so much, as you kind of just go like, we
had we accept all this craziness because he does all
the cooking and all the cleaning, and he kind of
(09:52):
keeps the house together. Um. And you see that bat Also,
Schmidt does so many despicable things, like so many despicable
things from episode one, but you realize that they, you know,
they all accept him in spite of those things. Um.
(10:12):
And it's kind of part of this. You know that
all these characters have their flaws. UM. I think Schmidt
probably has um maybe the most. Um. But uh, he
does so many things that are kind of, you know,
truly unacceptable um um, but they all love him in
spite of of those things. The one thing I like
(10:36):
about TV is when when uh, when they're trying to
show or showcase how dirty an apartment is or disgusting
the places they really go for it. I mean it
must have been a day and all of a sudden
there were I'm talking piece of boxes, a million dishes.
How how did we do that in one day? How
(10:58):
did we become this slow be without without Schmidt for
a day? Which I thought was very very I don't know,
like four grown adults and like three meals a day
plus like snacks plu. I mean, you could do some
real damage if you are not you know, clean people.
That was extreme Dallas extreme Dallus Dallas who was on
(11:25):
our props team, um, who is now a film director. Yes,
what's actually Dallas? Yeah, he's awesome. We also learned about
like Schmidt's anger issues, like the way he destroys that also,
um cinema magic, how perfectly it was put back together.
Yeah yeah, good at cleaning, he's very good. He has
(11:50):
to control everything. Oh yeah, I feel like I remember
you Zoe talking a lot about um that day or
two of shooting in Venice. Oh yeah, it was fun. Well,
you know, you're dealing with a lot of elements, variables,
(12:11):
if you will, in Venice, and a lot of like
various types of people that are all congregated together. You know,
in one place. You know a lot of Venice people
that a lot of things that are out of your control.
(12:32):
Control exactly exactly. We were dealing with our own control issues,
because that's the thing. I mean. I love. Venice Beach
is amazing, and I grew up here in Los Angeles,
so you know, it's a place that I remember I
was going as a kid, and it's it's it can
be really fun, but it's also like shooting there is
tough because you have, you know a lot of people
(12:52):
who don't care that you know, you're you're trying to
get your your work day done and um and you
know they'll just do their thing. Yeah, I say, like
a highly disproportionate number of people on roller blades of
shots hard to catch someone. The people, Well, here's the thing.
(13:14):
I'm just gonna say, a lot of people on various substances, right,
we don't know, Yeah, exactly, roller blades with with with
substances and things happen. You know, careful folks when you're
walking down if you're a tourist and you're coming to
Venice Beach, be care you might step on a needle.
They're everywhere. I'm not gonna lie to you. I've seen
it before, shoot Up Central. Um, it is. It's definitely
(13:38):
there's there's Yeah, there's a lot going on. It's hard
to work there. And I'm trying to be diplomatic, but yeah,
it's hard to work there. I don't want to, like,
you know, make assumptions about people, but I feel like
there were substances involved. It's not an assumption. I saw
(14:01):
gout in his beach once. I say, hey, man, you
look how He said, yeah, it's crack. I said, okay,
guess right to the point. He got straight to the point. Um.
So yeah, that's kind of what we were dealing with
in our shoot days. Are imitating life imitating our imitating.
But we did get to eat ice cream. And I
have a very fun picture of Max and me, um
(14:24):
eating ice cream on Venice Beach. That yeah, it's a
it's a picture of me. I'm wearing like heart sunglasses.
It's just like a picture where I'm like, oh, that
was fun, and you know it's it's I didn't get
that many episodes like with just me and Max and
we're working together a lot, and so it was really
you know, it was fun to have those episodes, you know,
where you kind of have a concentrated time with a person.
(14:48):
So it was it was really fun to get to
work with Max on this one. I feel like that's
what people sometimes don't realize, is that means that just
you and Max those days were actually spending an entire
day down at Venice Beach together. So you're kind of,
you know, just like in the show, in those moments
in real life, you're really you know, growing and learning
your friendship, our friendship, navigating are you know interesting day?
(15:15):
Speaking of strange, strange Los Angeles shooting locations, MacArthur Park
another where some substances we're probably being is that the
bench where you and Jake are on talking about how
much money. Yeah, we're having a little conversation about how
much money goes me. And every once in a while
you might see somebody, you know, they'll step into the
(15:37):
shot and they don't care. They don't care. They got
I wonder if there's footage of it where you would
just see a person just randomly roam and you know,
in their own little zone while we're trying to film
the scene, they just step on in. Because if you
if you're not familiar with sets. We have security that
kind of surrounds the perimeter, but that's a public park,
so you can't really lock it all the way down completely.
(15:59):
And folks would, like you said, don't give a damn.
They do not most Yeah, most people are following a
certain rule book. But then these were people who were
following their own rule book. It's a funny story. In Atlanta,
there are times when you film and on certain streets,
what happens is that people know that you need to
get those shots, and so yeah, they'll pretend to be
(16:22):
out of their minds. They'll pretend to be a little
wacky and they'll start screaming, and then the security has
to come and pay them or productors to pay them
to leave. And they know this, so they all do
it well. I was filming in Atlanta and in the
middle of the night we would have these We were
filming in this park for like weeks, and in the
(16:44):
middle of the night there would be like a caravan
of I don't know what you'd call them, like gelopes
or something like lights on them and they would play
really really really loud music and I'm who's in this caravan?
(17:05):
I'm like, who's all right, So I'll meet you guys
to and there's a filming location like right down the street,
and we're gonna we're gonna ruin. We're going to ruin
their shot with our light up cops. Oh yeah, that's
what you that's what you you gotta deal with. That's
(17:25):
a trip against when you shoot outside. I love shooting outside,
especially in warm weather because it's just I don't know,
just you can breathe. But at the you, I mean,
they're planes. You gotta deal with sirens. People. It's it's
not as easy as it may seem. Yeah. And if
you ever, like, yeah, shot in New York City, that's
(17:47):
a whole other thing too. Um it's it's fun though,
it's what's it's what we like. We enjoy it. Oh yeah.
Also in this episode, this is we talked about this
in the previous episode where sometimes it's hard to you know,
when you're dealing with a person's performance style, it's hard
to stay in character because you laugh too much. This
(18:08):
is a slap fighting scene the supermarket. It was like
some real head scot in there. Though. I watched it
and I was like, wait, hold up, wait, did you
just really guess slapped Jake doesn't. I feel like he
was trying to prove something in in this episode, in
particular because I slap him and I have everybody knows
(18:31):
I have a gentle touch, and you know, I slap him,
and then Jake has the heaviest hands ever. He just
kept going for it and it hurt. But all I
could do is laugh because he wouldn't pull his punches,
and I was like, Jesus man, this this hurts. And
I started to get a headache during that. During that time,
(18:53):
we kept doing take after take after take after take,
and I want to say I didn't have a blow
up moment, but I definitely out loud at some point
said I think we got it. I think we got
My head is killing me. He's he's got the heaviest
knuckles he've ever held your life, thick palm. Jake Johnson
(19:14):
is what we call it. Well, he used to move furniture,
like Jake used to move furniture as a job, So
I mean that, yeah, he probably still does. Um, he's
like he's like on a break from Minx and he's
like showing up out of your house. Um. But but yeah,
(19:34):
I know he uh he plays for real. It made
me think of like the boob fight slap fight that
you and I do later in this season. That was different, Bras,
that's right. We were like, here's your bra and I
was like, this is the most yeah, robust. It was
all in the face. Yeah, we were doing the face
(19:56):
kind of acting. And then yeah, they had like the
the best post work with the sound to make them
the most hilarious slap sounds. But we were very considerate slappers.
But when I watched that fight, when I rewatched this episode,
I literally like my body curled up in a ball
because I'm like, no, this is this is actually getting
(20:17):
not fun. I can see this is getting Jake was
hitting you for real. He was her head cast his
head well, because here's the thing. Everybody knows that when
you when you're engaged in a slap fight, um out
of respect for your opponent, you put a hand to
cheek and Jake, I'm sure if you can slow it down,
(20:38):
his hand was like, by my eye, he was hitting high.
That's the thing you got hit. You got the bottom.
I watched it. It wasn't just like little things on
the cheek, like you were really getting your face angled.
I know until this day I get headaches, and I
don't know if that's I think you need to maybe
(20:59):
sue Jake super Rich. It's launched right here. Yeah that's right.
So you're storyline in this is that in a poker
fight he puts like all his chips in and poker fight.
Did I just say poker fight? A poker fight which
(21:19):
happens from time to tell, h stakes, poker poker game. Um,
what is wrong with my brand? You're in a poker game,
he's drunk, he puts all his chips in and then
he loses four and eighties seven dollars or something. That's
what is belly said. I think I wrote that on
(21:40):
his belly as well? Did you really? I do believe
I did. I thought I was, like, I wonder who
wrote it because it's very very clear, beautiful penmanship. Well
we'll say this, if you never get a chance to
write on Jake Johnson's body, do it's a smooth camp. Um.
If you're out there folks and you're listening on the street,
just going right on his body, yeah, that's gonna go over.
(22:04):
Then you can should take a break. I think let's
take a break. Um come from I'll go right on
Jake Johnson's body and come back and tell us how
you felt when you did it. Right. Welcome and we're back.
(22:32):
We hope you had fun writing on Jake Johnson's body. Yeah,
I'm sure he is as much fun as he did
exactly because I'm still thinking about it. Um. Now your penmanship, lamar,
did you go to convent school? Like? How did you
get that beautiful penmanship? Here's the thing, here's I here's
the thing I say. I think I wrote that because
(22:54):
in all actuality, I have dogshit handwriting. It's really bad.
It is really really bad. That's why some folks. I'm
known out there as a doctor Dr Lamour, and that's
what people call me. Yeah, I'm known as Dr Lamour
and that's like a thing. It's common. Everybody knows it.
Maybe it's because your hands are too damn gentle. I
(23:16):
have a gentle touch. Everybody knows that too. But I
have the worst handwriting, much like a doctor would. It's
because your hands aren't too I'm trying to I'm trying
to make the marker or the sharp or whatever utensil
I am using, um feel good, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Can we just set this scene though, okay, because if
(23:37):
you wrote on his belly, that means you would probably
have to I don't know, down on your knees, right,
get eye level to right, all right, and you're gonna
have to back where are you going to? Like right
clearly on his belly for somebody else could hold his back,
someone else could get behind stable, or he could lean
(23:59):
a ends the wall. Hannah, I'm not sure where you're
going with this. I'm just trying to just on my
knees to tread it, Hannah, an innocent conversation, and I'm
just trying to figure out how you wrote on his belly.
And I can tell you exactly how I did it,
and I, Hannah, instead of getting perverted, Hannah, enough, okay,
(24:21):
instead of getting hurt with this, I'm gonna tell you
exactly how it happen. Woud your mind go. I'm just
talking about how you wrote on this man's back. Yeah,
you said I had to kneel down. Okay, we know
what that means. That's what happened. Lad him down. I
laid Jake Johnson down on a bed. It was silk sheets,
(24:42):
gentle hands, that's right. I kindly removed his shirt one
button at a time. There you go, right you go.
I brought up my favorite sharpie and Jake was a
little nervous, so I had to make him feel comfortable.
But put on some Luther Van draws, okay, gave him
a little wine, you know what I mean. And then
you know, then I wrote on his belly like any
(25:02):
normal person would do, it's a job professionally, did a
great job, and that your pen mission was actually great
because you were focused and relaxed. We solve that mystery, guys. Yeah,
now we all know. That's a great behind the scenes story.
(25:25):
I'm glad everybody knows now fully accurate and factual. We're
here to bring you the truth, you guys, untold stories
of New Girl. Here you go, there you go. I
love how you do this intervention moment on the park bench, though,
because I if somebody owes me money, I don't know
how I was. I can't ask for it. It makes
(25:45):
me super uncomfortable. What do you do in that moment?
What do you I don't do anything. It's terrible borrow
money for me. I guess like it's just terrible to
ask someone for money, because if you borrow it, it it
should be on you to return it, that's the right
way to do it. So the fact that that you know,
(26:05):
Winston's been back into this corner now where he's like
ad to write a letter um to have this big intervention,
that is an uncomfortable thing. I have a question, are
you guys, like do you guys need a lot of
control over things? How neat and fastidious are you? Or
like how how much do you how much control do
(26:26):
you need? I there's not a lot that bothers me, right,
So if you're very easy going, very easy going, but
it can't like like, for example, the apartment loft, my
place can't look like that. No way, that exactly exactly.
(26:49):
I understand every once in a while you might leave
a cup or a plate out and you you pick
it up the next day, and you know, it just
sits there for a day. I understand that. But like
just full on open containers and things, especially if it's
not mine, then I get upset about it, and you know,
because then I find myself being the one that that
does it all. Here's the thing, there's two I feel
(27:09):
like schools of thought on this of like housekeeping, you
clean as you go right or you leave it all
to the end. Of the night, and then you've got
to spend an hour and then that's when you kind of, yeah,
get to work. But I guess the third school of
thought is just like, no, I'm not doing any of it,
which is what happens in this episode. I'm clean as
(27:32):
you go person. I don't want at the end of
the night a whole mountain of work of like collecting
dishes and tidying up. That makes me crazy. I don't.
I don't want it at the end of the night.
What about you, z d um. It kind of depends
on what I'm doing. I do, like if I'm baking
or something that gets messy, I like to clean as
I go because otherwise you make mistakes. Um. But if
(27:56):
I'm just cooking a regular meal and there is an
that much like stuff to clean up, I'll leave it
till the end. I'm lucky because Jonathan is very helpful.
Um uh. And he's he's extremely good at cleaning up,
So you know, I'm lucky that he'll always help me
clean up. Um. But I am. I would say, like,
(28:20):
I don't know, Hannah, if you'd agree with me, But
being a mom, I'm controlling about other things, sure, um
like I like things done a certain way. You know. Well,
I think what's interesting about this episode is what the
real kickoff is is in the cold open right right
(28:41):
with the case, he's trying to be spontaneous, right, and
it's like and it's making him feel like he's totally
out of control and he doesn't know when this thing
is going to happen or not, and it's manifesting what
other things. It's kind of like in a couple, you know,
eights where people go like, it's not about the dishes.
(29:02):
It was not about the hutch, right. He just was
trying to figure out this huge thing that was way
out of his control, and so then he was like
hyper focusing and getting really angry and it was coming
out in different ways. And then he went on a
journey and then that's why the full circle moment at
the end with CC, where he was like, I can
(29:23):
relinquish this control a little bit and just enjoy the moment.
And then do you guys feel about thrift store stuff,
by the way, thrift store stuff, yeah, like the hutch,
the typewriters, I'm all about a good find. I love
it too. Everything right, you don't like old stuff, right,
like everything to be new. Know, every every home that
(29:44):
I've ever been in, apartment for the most part, that
I've rented, has never been It's always a new construction.
Always never did Every time you were like, I was like,
because I like more historic homes and stuff, and you're like,
you live in an old home. You're like, what you
(30:07):
want to live in a home that people have lived
in before? I see people have like they like, I
just feel like the amount of ghostsious. I get so
creeped out by the idea that, like, when I'm in
my own personal space, there's a ghost looking at me, like, man,
this is my couch, and I can't tell until he
(30:30):
does something weird like move something. You know what I don't.
I don't. I haven't seen a ghost, but people talk
about them and they say they're real, and I'm like,
what if they are? They're always watching me, even when
I'm in the new homes because you are concerned that
a ghost is watching you. Yeah, you're concerned that you
(30:51):
have to share a couch with a ghost, right, And
and you change the toilet seats in case a ghost.
I changed the toilet. No, No, that's a different issue.
So there's a different that's a different issue. So if
I'm renting a place, you know, um, if I'm you know,
(31:13):
renting a place, and I always change the toilet seats out,
the whole the seats, not the whole toilet itself. I changed.
I changed the seats out, unless I'm putting in one
of those very you know what you pop up in
a will you go, you won't use like a bathroom
like in a restaurant or something if I have to.
But like when I'm at home, you know what I mean,
there's a there's a I don't want. I don't want
(31:35):
to have to put a sheet down over what those
little protective things down in my own home. You know,
there's something like called bleach that can totally clean. I
get it, I get it, but I don't I don't
always believe in bleach. You know what I mean? You know,
I don't bleach don't always do the trick. You ever
walk into a smelly place and you can smell that
bleach was laid on the ground, but it still smells
(31:56):
like a yeah, because smell frying chean flavor, hospital flavor.
All right? Why I always support you and thank you
for your support, your fear of sharing couches with ghosts. Um,
so I gotta put down one of those, like very
lovely like Japanese like toilets. I love those, so I
(32:18):
I just removed them. I removed the old stuff and
put in something new. You know. That's my investment. You
got a lot of esque qualities. Just clean cheeks. I
just want clean cheeks. Yeah, that's all clean cheek. That's
the name of your new album. That is your new album.
But that's the thing that people know about me though.
(32:39):
Everywhere I go people are always like, yo, you're the
guy who has clean cheeks. Right. I'm like, yeah, that's me,
that's me. That's how did you know I'm known for it?
Everybody knows. That's some headstone stuff. That's right, folks. It
had his birthdays coming. Please pictures cheeks. I cannot with you.
(33:00):
You don't ever check your d M s again. Never
he's rude. I can't open it again. That's it. Um.
There's an interesting, a little tidbit on this really quick.
I'm sorry, but there's like this crystals, you know, the
he's wearing a crystal, which I thought was very interesting
because later on we'll find that that that's been like
(33:24):
a Winston thing as well. I'm not sure if you
guys are. He has this obsession with crystals, and I
thought it was really funny. I don't know if they
were selling it early, but when Nick is, you know,
pretty much telling Schmidt that his crystal is uh, what
do you call it? Rock poop? Is that what you
called it? Yeah, anyway, send us your crystals, send us
(33:48):
all your crystals. Foreshadowing, Yeah, for sure. This episode ends
with some of the most vile dirty talk that I
feel like I've ever heard about him trying to night
her m hmmm, naming his purnas hector j m hm. Yeah,
(34:13):
it was one of the most I get so uncomfortable
with things like that, Like I'm just like that, okay,
i'men showing the episode off, and he's just again it's Max.
So he's like over committing to this crazy dirty talk,
which I feel like most of that must have been
done in like a d R. And they gave him
pages of just crazy stuff, pages of jokes, and a
(34:36):
lot of times it was supposed to be one joke
and then they're like, how about you fit all fifteen
and then it will become a list of many, many, many,
that's what that felt. Especially first man, Um and I
felt like re traumatized just watching it. I was like, oh,
um yeah, too much, too weird. Um. And the fact
(34:57):
that she's into it is also very weird. You know
what's funny is when I see the love scenes with
you and Max, it's like it feels like weird. It's
like your friends, you know, when you're like like like
if somebody were like, here's a video of your friends
in the badroom, I'd be like, uh no, thank you.
(35:20):
I also didn't realize how much c C and just
like made out the first season, which is a very mean,
weird way to dive right into a TV show, you
know what I mean. You're just like, Hi, nice to
meet you. Okay, so in this episode, you're just gonna
like jump this guy's bones, which I was like, oh goodness,
(35:41):
can't I just rap welcome? Alright, guys, I think it's
that time. It's that time? Is that time? Where's the bear? Okay?
(36:07):
It's been a hard couple of weeks because this is
the one. Here's the thing. I know. I know, trust me,
you don't think I want the bear. I want the bear.
And so I watched it. I watched it slow. I did, like,
I did a couple of pauses. I'm like peeking around
on scenes that had like a lot going on in it.
I did not find a bear in this episode. Listeners,
(36:28):
did you in the episode of Control? Did you find
a bear? Because it feels like when I go online
then and then I go like, where's the bear in
the Control episode? Is my little cheek to kind of
like figure out if anybody else did it. Everyone goes like,
it's the picture of the bear on the fridge, and
I can't. I feel like, you just can't keep counting
that one. Now, Yeah, we're gonna have to have But
(36:49):
this episode is written by Bret Bear, which I know,
so it doesn't count. It doesn't count, but I could
be part of the It could be the fact that
Nick and Wine having a bare hands slap their bare hands.
This is also stretching. Any bear spelled b A R E.
(37:11):
Does that count because they said bear b E A
R like that bear of the animal? Um if we're
also including bread bears last name and also bare hands
and bare bottoms, do we do we? Is that count?
Because we need to know the rules you tell us.
(37:34):
I feel like the rules of where the bear are
very similar to the rules of true amargant, where we
kind of are making them up as we all along
do fit what we need that happen because it's fun, y'all.
It's fun speak American Welcome, It's a true American where
(38:01):
the rules change weekly and you leave more confused them
when you showed up. This week, we're playing Betty Crocker's
Kids Dessert. Well, each describe the greatest kids snack and
you guys can vote for the best version right now
on Instagram a vote a contest. You know my my
(38:23):
favorite kids snack growing up, and it's not really a
kid snack. It's well, it is a kid snack, but
it's a candy bar. It does that count? It's a
candy bar? Yeah, yeah, it was. This a Snickers candy bar.
But I ate it in a very weird way, you
know how. I'd say, it's no wrong way to eat
a Recei's and with like some people who have the commercials,
(38:44):
but they never had that for Snickers. I would eat
the Snickers the long way, like a like a corn
on the cob, the new Get part first. I would
nibble the Newgat. I always gonna start with the newgat
okay um. Fun fact was a snack that I gave
Jake Johnson to calm him down when I was writing
(39:06):
on his belly was a piece of Snickers like fun size,
a little fun size with a little toothpick and fun
size um and uh that's how I would eat it.
And my mom. So my mom would work late. She
would work nights, and I was always the one who
would wait up, and she got so mad at me
for waiting up for her because it was it was
(39:27):
school night, and I would always wait up. And she
would get home around midnight from work every night, and
I would always wait for a while. She thought I
was waiting up because I was a sweetheart. I was
waiting up because I was like, did you bring me
a Snickers from the store? And she would she would
always say no, but she always had one. I was
going no, go to bed and I wake up the
(39:49):
next morning and then you say, take this in school
with you. I remember my dad bringing home from work
those little red and white striped peppermints, which I'm sure
there was just like a free bowler reception or whatever,
but I just remember bringing home like this little sweet
for me. I remember that too. It was more like
the fact that your parents thought about you when they
(40:10):
were at work. Yeah, very sweet. Okay, So a snicker's
eating like a corn on the cob? Is your you
toss in your favorite candid dessert? Um, I'll share mine.
I already know it won't win and people think it's disgusting.
(40:32):
Here's what I don't care. Is it a dessert or snack.
That's the thing. It's a snack. Okay, Okay. I just
remember eating this in Saudi Arabia with my best friend.
I just remember as making these and we thought it
was really delicious. Um. Because obviously we couldn't use the
stove or anything to make like a grilled cheese. We
(40:55):
were young, you know, like we're nine years old. So
what we would do was get a piece of bread.
It was just like white loaf bread. We put mayonnaise
on it. Then we would already I'm out, Then we
would put Then we would put like a craft single okay,
(41:18):
and it would put it in the microwave because we
thought it would basically um burns it. I think is
now in retrospect, I can say was what would really happen?
React very well to the microwave. We did not know
these things, so we would put it in and we
thought we were making like open faced grilled cheesies. Um,
(41:42):
and then take it out and the and the and
the the plastic ea cheese and burn the roof of
our mouth. And we thought it was the greatest invention
of a snack ever. Um, and our parents let us
do it, and um, that was our delicious uh snack. Us.
I think Stickers is going to win this, Okay, so
(42:03):
I'm gonna put in. I don't think you could pay
me to eat that now, but I ate a lot
of that growing up. I was like, Um, so growing up,
we would make this like coffee cake. That was a
box mix that my dad would make with us on
(42:23):
like Saturday mornings. And it was you would mix the
whole thing in a bag and then bake it in
a little cardboard container. But it had like cinnamon, sugar,
streetl topping and it was so good. Yeah. It was
just like a regular coffee cake. Um, like a vanilla
(42:43):
cake with a strusel topping coffee and having coffee. No, no, no,
you know what a coffee cake is not. It's not
a oh because maybe okay, so a coffee cake cheese
over here. So yeah, I was like, I feel like
if you grow up in the States, maybe it's more
(43:04):
of a thing you call a coffee cake, something you
eat like that you you would eat with like for breakfast. Yeah,
it's not. It's not something that has coffee in it contains.
It's just something that you would have maybe with coffee.
But so they call it a coffee cake. Normally, like
a coffee cake would be like a a sort of
(43:25):
delectable cake with cinnamon, sugar. Strusal topic. It's and it's
like a single layer cake. It's not like a birthday cake.
It's like it's like a yeah, tea time snack. Yeah,
it's it's delicious. You can put a little butter on it.
But I thought for a second I might have like
an edge because it was like coffee for kids, and
(43:45):
then that wouldn't be Okay, No, there's no coffee in it,
just in the name. Now it's just a delicious tree,
which sounds great. Yeah it's confusing. It doesn't have coffee
in it. It's just cinnamon e and yummy. So sneake
is eaten sideways. Al Right, those are three contenders. Cinnamonster,
sol for coffee cakes with no coffee in it, or
(44:08):
a piece of bread with mad with mayonnaise and American
cheese in the microwave. Yeah, those are three options, folks.
Three options. I feel like it's really only two. It
might win now because of that, I think now the
(44:29):
snickers on top of the coffee cake. So vote on
the folks. We want you guys to vote on your favorite.
We want to hear what you have to say. Yeah,
go to maybe maybe we'll find out a lot of
people made a grilled cheese in the microwave. I well,
I've done that before, but I don't think I put mayonnaise.
I don't think I put in the microwave. But I
don't think I also also, I don't think I put
(44:50):
mayonnaise on it. Mayonnaise and cheese and bread. That really
threw me off. That threw me off. And I've done
some some strange things. Syrup sandwiches is something we also
reponds so so, but mayonnaise disgusting. Um. So yeah, make
sure you guys go to the Welcome to Our Show

Let's patch in, Hannah, God, I forgot what it was
like working with you. Guys. Hi, Welcome to our show.
(00:30):
Every Welcome to our show. Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Thank
you for being here, Thank you for being here. Take
your shoes off, take your pants. Don't take your pants off. Well,
if you're at home and you're in the privacy of
your own place, I think it's fine to take your
pants off. But weird traffic. Yeah, you're in traffic or
(00:53):
on the train, don't take your pants off, right, that's right? Yes,
is an episode all about control and a apriatness exactly.
Don't take your pants off unless you're Schmidt in this episode,
or a streaker. You know, if you wanted those flashers,
you're a streetcar flasher. Then five, then do you think
(01:16):
you know what? Forget it, We're not. We're not telling
you what to do. You know, you're in charge of
your bodies. Episode one six, Team Control. It was supposed
to be so simple. All just wanted to do was
bring a hutch into her shared living space. What's wrong
with that? How was she to know it would upset
the delicate balance of the entire loft. Meanwhile, Schmidt feels
(01:38):
out of control in his relationship with c C, who
was basically using Schmidt as a booty call at this point.
Damn Cca now used to calling the shots. Schmidt. He
can't take any more uncertainties. And here's what he does.
You guessed it. He smashes jess as Hutch that is,
that is absolutely ridiculous. But Jessica Day won't be so
(01:59):
easy put out. She takes Schmidt to Venice Beach to
get him to loosen up a bit, because if you've
been to Venice Beach, they loose down there. Yet fall loose.
While there, Schmidt lets his freak flag fly. Back at home,
things fall apart. Since Schmidt is the one who cooks,
he's the one who cleans, He's the one who does
all the grocery shopping. Jess Winston and Nick they'll left
(02:23):
the fan for themselves. The place looks ridiculous, young looks
like a hurricane went off in the kitchen. It turns
out you can't make Schmidt better by trying to change him.
This is the best he gets. In the end, Schmidt
goes back to his original controlling himself as a roommate,
but he learns to let Cec control the pace of
their budding relationship. Now back to our ship, guys, Hi,
(02:46):
Hey up, Um, I dig this episode. I really, I
really did enjoy think Lebart wrote this episode and it's
so funny. It's very funny and directed by the amazing
Jess Kretz. Yes, Jesse school friends with him, right, Yeah.
(03:09):
So I I met Jesse when I did a video
for Jimmy Fallon's had like a comedy album and I
was in the video for his comedy album. He had
a song called Idiot Boyfriend and I was in this
video and Jesse directed it and it was like a
spoof of a bunch of kind of seventies and eighties
(03:32):
videos and it was really fun. And I met Jesse,
and I met Georgie, who was our makeup artist on
New Girl. I met her on that and I met
um Jesse. As I've said three times now, and anyway,
I met Jesse, and um he became my friend, and
(03:53):
his lovely wife became my friend, Um, Sarah and um.
And then when we were doing New Girl, I asked
him to direct some episodes because he also directed some
movies that I absolutely love. Um, I did a movie
with him as well. I did a movie called Our
Idiot Brother, but he did. Have you guys seen the
(04:13):
movie that Jesse directed called The Chateau No, Oh my God,
Run don't Walk. It's so funny. It's about Paul Rudd
and Romney Malco play brothers who inherit a chateau in
France and they go to claim the chateau and they
(04:33):
meet all these crazy characters but it's mostly improvised. Such
a funny, funny movie. Everybody watch it. It's so good.
Chau the Chateau. It's great. Moving on to this episode
because that's what everybody's I guess listening for. You know,
I want to you know this episode was I want
(04:58):
to say, and maybe we could talk about a little
bit later, but I want to say, this is the
episode that Max Greenfield got nominated for an Emmy four
or submitted. How's that work is? Both? Yes, we both
got nominated and they sent We each got to submit
(05:18):
an episode that would be like the the um the
example of our finest acting on the show. And his
episode got submitted for me, and my my episode got
submitted for him, and there was like some committee and
then they were like, we swear, so they told us
(05:40):
there was this mix up and then they were like,
but they resent them, and they everybody swears they watched
the new episode and I was like, it's over. It's over.
Neither one of us won UM and we'll never know
if it was the episode mix up or just are
(06:01):
not being as good as the other for the person
who won UM. But yes, this was his, This was
his episode that he wanted to submit and he is
fantastic in this episode. Yeah, he's It's a good performance
piece for him because he gets to be all kinds
of things, and real transformation happens because if you know Schmidt, um,
(06:22):
you get to see the opposite side of Schmidt, and
the and the folks in the loft talk about it
when Jess is trying to change him, and that's a
big no no in this loft. Apparently you don't want
to you don't want to know the origin of Schmidt.
And then we we flashed back into the origin. Yeah,
Winston and um Nick no darn well that you can't
(06:46):
try to change Schmidt because bad things happen, But Jess
she wants to try. I love what he says though,
because he's or Winston says it says, he just gets worse,
like there's no improvement. This is the bast it's gonna be,
so don't mess. At least it cleans up. That's right,
it'll take a turn to a bad place. What I thought?
(07:08):
What I think about this, But just visually you see,
um the flashback of Was this the first time we
saw a flashback of the of Nick Winston and Schmidt?
Was this the at the same time? Because I remember,
I feel like it was. I had these kawuahi Leonard
braids for all the basketball fans out there. Uh so,
(07:28):
technically I technically quit. Leonard being younger than me, stole
my hairstyle from this episode. That's a fact. How dare he?
That's a fact? You know a Winston's has he given
you a thank you? Royalties? He is a new Girl fan.
(07:52):
So this is the first time we see these braids
in the episode. Yeah, it's the first time we see
these braids, the first time we see the soul patch.
I think on Nick Miller and I don't think this
is this is not the first time we've seen Big Schmidt.
It's not. It's not. Yeah, I think there was definitely.
I'm pretty sure there's a flashback in a previous episode
with Nick and Schmidt. I forgot that he vomited in
(08:17):
that flashback. And there's something when I see Lettuce throw
up makes me I can't feel me too, do not
like it? And I forgot that it happened, and so
I was like watching and then I was just like,
oh no, I would have definitely looked away if I'd
remember that Folks's birthday Folks d m her all the
m oh my god, don't do that, but her birthdays
(08:43):
in August? Okay. Um. We also see the apartment empty. Yeah,
don't pass out the apartment, And I feel like the
only other time we see that is in the series finale. Yeah,
we see the empty apartment. See how big that places?
That rent must have been high, bro, extremely high. Um.
(09:04):
And it's weird seeing it on TV like that, um,
just because I don't know. I don't know why it
is even during like set changes sometimes you'll come in
and you'll see it empty, but seeing it on television
like that, especially during especially now going back to rewatch it,
it's very I don't know. It moved me in a
a in a very strange way. I will say this
episode is like the true roommate episode, which is the
(09:29):
truth of living with the roommate is the balance. What
kind of um chores do every does everybody take on
with everyone's strengths, what do you just have to live with?
And we really hadn't explored that in the show up
to this point. And that's why I love this episode
so much, as you kind of just go like, we
had we accept all this craziness because he does all
the cooking and all the cleaning, and he kind of
(09:52):
keeps the house together. Um. And you see that bat Also,
Schmidt does so many despicable things, like so many despicable
things from episode one, but you realize that they, you know,
they all accept him in spite of those things. Um.
(10:12):
And it's kind of part of this. You know that
all these characters have their flaws. UM. I think Schmidt
probably has um maybe the most. Um. But uh, he
does so many things that are kind of, you know,
truly unacceptable um um, but they all love him in
spite of of those things. The one thing I like
(10:36):
about TV is when when uh, when they're trying to
show or showcase how dirty an apartment is or disgusting
the places they really go for it. I mean it
must have been a day and all of a sudden
there were I'm talking piece of boxes, a million dishes.
How how did we do that in one day? How
(10:58):
did we become this slow be without without Schmidt for
a day? Which I thought was very very I don't know,
like four grown adults and like three meals a day
plus like snacks plu. I mean, you could do some
real damage if you are not you know, clean people.
That was extreme Dallas extreme Dallus Dallas who was on
(11:25):
our props team, um, who is now a film director. Yes,
what's actually Dallas? Yeah, he's awesome. We also learned about
like Schmidt's anger issues, like the way he destroys that also,
um cinema magic, how perfectly it was put back together.
Yeah yeah, good at cleaning, he's very good. He has
(11:50):
to control everything. Oh yeah, I feel like I remember
you Zoe talking a lot about um that day or
two of shooting in Venice. Oh yeah, it was fun. Well,
you know, you're dealing with a lot of elements, variables,
(12:11):
if you will, in Venice, and a lot of like
various types of people that are all congregated together. You know,
in one place. You know a lot of Venice people
that a lot of things that are out of your control.
(12:32):
Control exactly exactly. We were dealing with our own control issues,
because that's the thing. I mean. I love. Venice Beach
is amazing, and I grew up here in Los Angeles,
so you know, it's a place that I remember I
was going as a kid, and it's it's it can
be really fun, but it's also like shooting there is
tough because you have, you know a lot of people
(12:52):
who don't care that you know, you're you're trying to
get your your work day done and um and you
know they'll just do their thing. Yeah, I say, like
a highly disproportionate number of people on roller blades of
shots hard to catch someone. The people, Well, here's the thing.
(13:14):
I'm just gonna say, a lot of people on various substances, right,
we don't know, Yeah, exactly, roller blades with with with
substances and things happen. You know, careful folks when you're
walking down if you're a tourist and you're coming to
Venice Beach, be care you might step on a needle.
They're everywhere. I'm not gonna lie to you. I've seen
it before, shoot Up Central. Um, it is. It's definitely
(13:38):
there's there's Yeah, there's a lot going on. It's hard
to work there. And I'm trying to be diplomatic, but yeah,
it's hard to work there. I don't want to, like,
you know, make assumptions about people, but I feel like
there were substances involved. It's not an assumption. I saw
(14:01):
gout in his beach once. I say, hey, man, you
look how He said, yeah, it's crack. I said, okay,
guess right to the point. He got straight to the point. Um.
So yeah, that's kind of what we were dealing with
in our shoot days. Are imitating life imitating our imitating.
But we did get to eat ice cream. And I
have a very fun picture of Max and me, um
(14:24):
eating ice cream on Venice Beach. That yeah, it's a
it's a picture of me. I'm wearing like heart sunglasses.
It's just like a picture where I'm like, oh, that
was fun, and you know it's it's I didn't get
that many episodes like with just me and Max and
we're working together a lot, and so it was really
you know, it was fun to have those episodes, you know,
where you kind of have a concentrated time with a person.
(14:48):
So it was it was really fun to get to
work with Max on this one. I feel like that's
what people sometimes don't realize, is that means that just
you and Max those days were actually spending an entire
day down at Venice Beach together. So you're kind of,
you know, just like in the show, in those moments
in real life, you're really you know, growing and learning
your friendship, our friendship, navigating are you know interesting day?
(15:15):
Speaking of strange, strange Los Angeles shooting locations, MacArthur Park
another where some substances we're probably being is that the
bench where you and Jake are on talking about how
much money. Yeah, we're having a little conversation about how
much money goes me. And every once in a while
you might see somebody, you know, they'll step into the
(15:37):
shot and they don't care. They don't care. They got
I wonder if there's footage of it where you would
just see a person just randomly roam and you know,
in their own little zone while we're trying to film
the scene, they just step on in. Because if you
if you're not familiar with sets. We have security that
kind of surrounds the perimeter, but that's a public park,
so you can't really lock it all the way down completely.
(15:59):
And folks would, like you said, don't give a damn.
They do not most Yeah, most people are following a
certain rule book. But then these were people who were
following their own rule book. It's a funny story. In Atlanta,
there are times when you film and on certain streets,
what happens is that people know that you need to
get those shots, and so yeah, they'll pretend to be
(16:22):
out of their minds. They'll pretend to be a little
wacky and they'll start screaming, and then the security has
to come and pay them or productors to pay them
to leave. And they know this, so they all do
it well. I was filming in Atlanta and in the
middle of the night we would have these We were
filming in this park for like weeks, and in the
(16:44):
middle of the night there would be like a caravan
of I don't know what you'd call them, like gelopes
or something like lights on them and they would play
really really really loud music and I'm who's in this caravan?
(17:05):
I'm like, who's all right, So I'll meet you guys
to and there's a filming location like right down the street,
and we're gonna we're gonna ruin. We're going to ruin
their shot with our light up cops. Oh yeah, that's
what you that's what you you gotta deal with. That's
(17:25):
a trip against when you shoot outside. I love shooting outside,
especially in warm weather because it's just I don't know,
just you can breathe. But at the you, I mean,
they're planes. You gotta deal with sirens. People. It's it's
not as easy as it may seem. Yeah. And if
you ever, like, yeah, shot in New York City, that's
(17:47):
a whole other thing too. Um it's it's fun though,
it's what's it's what we like. We enjoy it. Oh yeah.
Also in this episode, this is we talked about this
in the previous episode where sometimes it's hard to you know,
when you're dealing with a person's performance style, it's hard
to stay in character because you laugh too much. This
(18:08):
is a slap fighting scene the supermarket. It was like
some real head scot in there. Though. I watched it
and I was like, wait, hold up, wait, did you
just really guess slapped Jake doesn't. I feel like he
was trying to prove something in in this episode, in
particular because I slap him and I have everybody knows
(18:31):
I have a gentle touch, and you know, I slap him,
and then Jake has the heaviest hands ever. He just
kept going for it and it hurt. But all I
could do is laugh because he wouldn't pull his punches,
and I was like, Jesus man, this this hurts. And
I started to get a headache during that. During that time,
(18:53):
we kept doing take after take after take after take,
and I want to say I didn't have a blow
up moment, but I definitely out loud at some point
said I think we got it. I think we got
My head is killing me. He's he's got the heaviest
knuckles he've ever held your life, thick palm. Jake Johnson
(19:14):
is what we call it. Well, he used to move furniture,
like Jake used to move furniture as a job, So
I mean that, yeah, he probably still does. Um, he's
like he's like on a break from Minx and he's
like showing up out of your house. Um. But but yeah,
(19:34):
I know he uh he plays for real. It made
me think of like the boob fight slap fight that
you and I do later in this season. That was different, Bras,
that's right. We were like, here's your bra and I
was like, this is the most yeah, robust. It was
all in the face. Yeah, we were doing the face
(19:56):
kind of acting. And then yeah, they had like the
the best post work with the sound to make them
the most hilarious slap sounds. But we were very considerate slappers.
But when I watched that fight, when I rewatched this episode,
I literally like my body curled up in a ball
because I'm like, no, this is this is actually getting
(20:17):
not fun. I can see this is getting Jake was
hitting you for real. He was her head cast his
head well, because here's the thing. Everybody knows that when
you when you're engaged in a slap fight, um out
of respect for your opponent, you put a hand to
cheek and Jake, I'm sure if you can slow it down,
(20:38):
his hand was like, by my eye, he was hitting high.
That's the thing you got hit. You got the bottom.
I watched it. It wasn't just like little things on
the cheek, like you were really getting your face angled.
I know until this day I get headaches, and I
don't know if that's I think you need to maybe
(20:59):
sue Jake super Rich. It's launched right here. Yeah that's right.
So you're storyline in this is that in a poker
fight he puts like all his chips in and poker fight.
Did I just say poker fight? A poker fight which
(21:19):
happens from time to tell, h stakes, poker poker game. Um,
what is wrong with my brand? You're in a poker game,
he's drunk, he puts all his chips in and then
he loses four and eighties seven dollars or something. That's
what is belly said. I think I wrote that on
(21:40):
his belly as well? Did you really? I do believe
I did. I thought I was, like, I wonder who
wrote it because it's very very clear, beautiful penmanship. Well
we'll say this, if you never get a chance to
write on Jake Johnson's body, do it's a smooth camp. Um.
If you're out there folks and you're listening on the street,
just going right on his body, yeah, that's gonna go over.
(22:04):
Then you can should take a break. I think let's
take a break. Um come from I'll go right on
Jake Johnson's body and come back and tell us how
you felt when you did it. Right. Welcome and we're back.
(22:32):
We hope you had fun writing on Jake Johnson's body. Yeah,
I'm sure he is as much fun as he did
exactly because I'm still thinking about it. Um. Now your penmanship, lamar,
did you go to convent school? Like? How did you
get that beautiful penmanship? Here's the thing, here's I here's
the thing I say. I think I wrote that because
(22:54):
in all actuality, I have dogshit handwriting. It's really bad.
It is really really bad. That's why some folks. I'm
known out there as a doctor Dr Lamour, and that's
what people call me. Yeah, I'm known as Dr Lamour
and that's like a thing. It's common. Everybody knows it.
Maybe it's because your hands are too damn gentle. I
(23:16):
have a gentle touch. Everybody knows that too. But I
have the worst handwriting, much like a doctor would. It's
because your hands aren't too I'm trying to I'm trying
to make the marker or the sharp or whatever utensil
I am using, um feel good, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Can we just set this scene though, okay, because if
(23:37):
you wrote on his belly, that means you would probably
have to I don't know, down on your knees, right,
get eye level to right, all right, and you're gonna
have to back where are you going to? Like right
clearly on his belly for somebody else could hold his back,
someone else could get behind stable, or he could lean
(23:59):
a ends the wall. Hannah, I'm not sure where you're
going with this. I'm just trying to just on my
knees to tread it, Hannah, an innocent conversation, and I'm
just trying to figure out how you wrote on his belly.
And I can tell you exactly how I did it,
and I, Hannah, instead of getting perverted, Hannah, enough, okay,
(24:21):
instead of getting hurt with this, I'm gonna tell you
exactly how it happen. Woud your mind go. I'm just
talking about how you wrote on this man's back. Yeah,
you said I had to kneel down. Okay, we know
what that means. That's what happened. Lad him down. I
laid Jake Johnson down on a bed. It was silk sheets,
(24:42):
gentle hands, that's right. I kindly removed his shirt one
button at a time. There you go, right you go.
I brought up my favorite sharpie and Jake was a
little nervous, so I had to make him feel comfortable.
But put on some Luther Van draws, okay, gave him
a little wine, you know what I mean. And then
you know, then I wrote on his belly like any
(25:02):
normal person would do, it's a job professionally, did a
great job, and that your pen mission was actually great
because you were focused and relaxed. We solve that mystery, guys. Yeah,
now we all know. That's a great behind the scenes story.
(25:25):
I'm glad everybody knows now fully accurate and factual. We're
here to bring you the truth, you guys, untold stories
of New Girl. Here you go, there you go. I
love how you do this intervention moment on the park bench, though,
because I if somebody owes me money, I don't know
how I was. I can't ask for it. It makes
(25:45):
me super uncomfortable. What do you do in that moment?
What do you I don't do anything. It's terrible borrow
money for me. I guess like it's just terrible to
ask someone for money, because if you borrow it, it it
should be on you to return it, that's the right
way to do it. So the fact that that you know,
(26:05):
Winston's been back into this corner now where he's like
ad to write a letter um to have this big intervention,
that is an uncomfortable thing. I have a question, are
you guys, like do you guys need a lot of
control over things? How neat and fastidious are you? Or
like how how much do you how much control do
(26:26):
you need? I there's not a lot that bothers me, right,
So if you're very easy going, very easy going, but
it can't like like, for example, the apartment loft, my
place can't look like that. No way, that exactly exactly.
(26:49):
I understand every once in a while you might leave
a cup or a plate out and you you pick
it up the next day, and you know, it just
sits there for a day. I understand that. But like
just full on open containers and things, especially if it's
not mine, then I get upset about it, and you know,
because then I find myself being the one that that
does it all. Here's the thing, there's two I feel
(27:09):
like schools of thought on this of like housekeeping, you
clean as you go right or you leave it all
to the end. Of the night, and then you've got
to spend an hour and then that's when you kind of, yeah,
get to work. But I guess the third school of
thought is just like, no, I'm not doing any of it,
which is what happens in this episode. I'm clean as
(27:32):
you go person. I don't want at the end of
the night a whole mountain of work of like collecting
dishes and tidying up. That makes me crazy. I don't.
I don't want it at the end of the night.
What about you, z d um. It kind of depends
on what I'm doing. I do, like if I'm baking
or something that gets messy, I like to clean as
I go because otherwise you make mistakes. Um. But if
(27:56):
I'm just cooking a regular meal and there is an
that much like stuff to clean up, I'll leave it
till the end. I'm lucky because Jonathan is very helpful.
Um uh. And he's he's extremely good at cleaning up,
So you know, I'm lucky that he'll always help me
clean up. Um. But I am. I would say, like,
(28:20):
I don't know, Hannah, if you'd agree with me, But
being a mom, I'm controlling about other things, sure, um
like I like things done a certain way. You know. Well,
I think what's interesting about this episode is what the
real kickoff is is in the cold open right right
(28:41):
with the case, he's trying to be spontaneous, right, and
it's like and it's making him feel like he's totally
out of control and he doesn't know when this thing
is going to happen or not, and it's manifesting what
other things. It's kind of like in a couple, you know,
eights where people go like, it's not about the dishes.
(29:02):
It was not about the hutch, right. He just was
trying to figure out this huge thing that was way
out of his control, and so then he was like
hyper focusing and getting really angry and it was coming
out in different ways. And then he went on a
journey and then that's why the full circle moment at
the end with CC, where he was like, I can
(29:23):
relinquish this control a little bit and just enjoy the moment.
And then do you guys feel about thrift store stuff,
by the way, thrift store stuff, yeah, like the hutch,
the typewriters, I'm all about a good find. I love
it too. Everything right, you don't like old stuff, right,
like everything to be new. Know, every every home that
(29:44):
I've ever been in, apartment for the most part, that
I've rented, has never been It's always a new construction.
Always never did Every time you were like, I was like,
because I like more historic homes and stuff, and you're like,
you live in an old home. You're like, what you
(30:07):
want to live in a home that people have lived
in before? I see people have like they like, I
just feel like the amount of ghostsious. I get so
creeped out by the idea that, like, when I'm in
my own personal space, there's a ghost looking at me, like, man,
this is my couch, and I can't tell until he
(30:30):
does something weird like move something. You know what I don't.
I don't. I haven't seen a ghost, but people talk
about them and they say they're real, and I'm like,
what if they are? They're always watching me, even when
I'm in the new homes because you are concerned that
a ghost is watching you. Yeah, you're concerned that you
(30:51):
have to share a couch with a ghost, right, And
and you change the toilet seats in case a ghost.
I changed the toilet. No, No, that's a different issue.
So there's a different that's a different issue. So if
I'm renting a place, you know, um, if I'm you know,
(31:13):
renting a place, and I always change the toilet seats out,
the whole the seats, not the whole toilet itself. I changed.
I changed the seats out, unless I'm putting in one
of those very you know what you pop up in
a will you go, you won't use like a bathroom
like in a restaurant or something if I have to.
But like when I'm at home, you know what I mean,
there's a there's a I don't want. I don't want
(31:35):
to have to put a sheet down over what those
little protective things down in my own home. You know,
there's something like called bleach that can totally clean. I
get it, I get it, but I don't I don't
always believe in bleach. You know what I mean? You know,
I don't bleach don't always do the trick. You ever
walk into a smelly place and you can smell that
bleach was laid on the ground, but it still smells
(31:56):
like a yeah, because smell frying chean flavor, hospital flavor.
All right? Why I always support you and thank you
for your support, your fear of sharing couches with ghosts. Um,
so I gotta put down one of those, like very
lovely like Japanese like toilets. I love those, so I
(32:18):
I just removed them. I removed the old stuff and
put in something new. You know. That's my investment. You
got a lot of esque qualities. Just clean cheeks. I
just want clean cheeks. Yeah, that's all clean cheek. That's
the name of your new album. That is your new album.
But that's the thing that people know about me though.
(32:39):
Everywhere I go people are always like, yo, you're the
guy who has clean cheeks. Right. I'm like, yeah, that's me,
that's me. That's how did you know I'm known for it?
Everybody knows. That's some headstone stuff. That's right, folks. It
had his birthdays coming. Please pictures cheeks. I cannot with you.
(33:00):
You don't ever check your d M s again. Never
he's rude. I can't open it again. That's it. Um.
There's an interesting, a little tidbit on this really quick.
I'm sorry, but there's like this crystals, you know, the
he's wearing a crystal, which I thought was very interesting
because later on we'll find that that that's been like
(33:24):
a Winston thing as well. I'm not sure if you
guys are. He has this obsession with crystals, and I
thought it was really funny. I don't know if they
were selling it early, but when Nick is, you know,
pretty much telling Schmidt that his crystal is uh, what
do you call it? Rock poop? Is that what you
called it? Yeah, anyway, send us your crystals, send us
(33:48):
all your crystals. Foreshadowing, Yeah, for sure. This episode ends
with some of the most vile dirty talk that I
feel like I've ever heard about him trying to night
her m hmmm, naming his purnas hector j m hm. Yeah,
(34:13):
it was one of the most I get so uncomfortable
with things like that, Like I'm just like that, okay,
i'men showing the episode off, and he's just again it's Max.
So he's like over committing to this crazy dirty talk,
which I feel like most of that must have been
done in like a d R. And they gave him
pages of just crazy stuff, pages of jokes, and a
(34:36):
lot of times it was supposed to be one joke
and then they're like, how about you fit all fifteen
and then it will become a list of many, many, many,
that's what that felt. Especially first man, Um and I
felt like re traumatized just watching it. I was like, oh,
um yeah, too much, too weird. Um. And the fact
(34:57):
that she's into it is also very weird. You know
what's funny is when I see the love scenes with
you and Max, it's like it feels like weird. It's
like your friends, you know, when you're like like like
if somebody were like, here's a video of your friends
in the badroom, I'd be like, uh no, thank you.
(35:20):
I also didn't realize how much c C and just
like made out the first season, which is a very mean,
weird way to dive right into a TV show, you
know what I mean. You're just like, Hi, nice to
meet you. Okay, so in this episode, you're just gonna
like jump this guy's bones, which I was like, oh goodness,
(35:41):
can't I just rap welcome? Alright, guys, I think it's
that time. It's that time? Is that time? Where's the bear? Okay?
(36:07):
It's been a hard couple of weeks because this is
the one. Here's the thing. I know. I know, trust me,
you don't think I want the bear. I want the bear.
And so I watched it. I watched it slow. I did, like,
I did a couple of pauses. I'm like peeking around
on scenes that had like a lot going on in it.
I did not find a bear in this episode. Listeners,
(36:28):
did you in the episode of Control? Did you find
a bear? Because it feels like when I go online
then and then I go like, where's the bear in
the Control episode? Is my little cheek to kind of
like figure out if anybody else did it. Everyone goes like,
it's the picture of the bear on the fridge, and
I can't. I feel like, you just can't keep counting
that one. Now, Yeah, we're gonna have to have But
(36:49):
this episode is written by Bret Bear, which I know,
so it doesn't count. It doesn't count, but I could
be part of the It could be the fact that
Nick and Wine having a bare hands slap their bare hands.
This is also stretching. Any bear spelled b A R E.
(37:11):
Does that count because they said bear b E A
R like that bear of the animal? Um if we're
also including bread bears last name and also bare hands
and bare bottoms, do we do we? Is that count?
Because we need to know the rules you tell us.
(37:34):
I feel like the rules of where the bear are
very similar to the rules of true amargant, where we
kind of are making them up as we all along
do fit what we need that happen because it's fun, y'all.
It's fun speak American Welcome, It's a true American where
(38:01):
the rules change weekly and you leave more confused them
when you showed up. This week, we're playing Betty Crocker's
Kids Dessert. Well, each describe the greatest kids snack and
you guys can vote for the best version right now
on Instagram a vote a contest. You know my my
(38:23):
favorite kids snack growing up, and it's not really a
kid snack. It's well, it is a kid snack, but
it's a candy bar. It does that count? It's a
candy bar? Yeah, yeah, it was. This a Snickers candy bar.
But I ate it in a very weird way, you
know how. I'd say, it's no wrong way to eat
a Recei's and with like some people who have the commercials,
(38:44):
but they never had that for Snickers. I would eat
the Snickers the long way, like a like a corn
on the cob, the new Get part first. I would
nibble the Newgat. I always gonna start with the newgat
okay um. Fun fact was a snack that I gave
Jake Johnson to calm him down when I was writing
(39:06):
on his belly was a piece of Snickers like fun size,
a little fun size with a little toothpick and fun
size um and uh that's how I would eat it.
And my mom. So my mom would work late. She
would work nights, and I was always the one who
would wait up, and she got so mad at me
for waiting up for her because it was it was
(39:27):
school night, and I would always wait up. And she
would get home around midnight from work every night, and
I would always wait for a while. She thought I
was waiting up because I was a sweetheart. I was
waiting up because I was like, did you bring me
a Snickers from the store? And she would she would
always say no, but she always had one. I was
going no, go to bed and I wake up the
(39:49):
next morning and then you say, take this in school
with you. I remember my dad bringing home from work
those little red and white striped peppermints, which I'm sure
there was just like a free bowler reception or whatever,
but I just remember bringing home like this little sweet
for me. I remember that too. It was more like
the fact that your parents thought about you when they
(40:10):
were at work. Yeah, very sweet. Okay, So a snicker's
eating like a corn on the cob? Is your you
toss in your favorite candid dessert? Um, I'll share mine.
I already know it won't win and people think it's disgusting.
(40:32):
Here's what I don't care. Is it a dessert or snack.
That's the thing. It's a snack. Okay, Okay. I just
remember eating this in Saudi Arabia with my best friend.
I just remember as making these and we thought it
was really delicious. Um. Because obviously we couldn't use the
stove or anything to make like a grilled cheese. We
(40:55):
were young, you know, like we're nine years old. So
what we would do was get a piece of bread.
It was just like white loaf bread. We put mayonnaise
on it. Then we would already I'm out, Then we
would put Then we would put like a craft single okay,
(41:18):
and it would put it in the microwave because we
thought it would basically um burns it. I think is
now in retrospect, I can say was what would really happen?
React very well to the microwave. We did not know
these things, so we would put it in and we
thought we were making like open faced grilled cheesies. Um,
(41:42):
and then take it out and the and the and
the the plastic ea cheese and burn the roof of
our mouth. And we thought it was the greatest invention
of a snack ever. Um, and our parents let us
do it, and um, that was our delicious uh snack. Us.
I think Stickers is going to win this, Okay, so
(42:03):
I'm gonna put in. I don't think you could pay
me to eat that now, but I ate a lot
of that growing up. I was like, Um, so growing up,
we would make this like coffee cake. That was a
box mix that my dad would make with us on
(42:23):
like Saturday mornings. And it was you would mix the
whole thing in a bag and then bake it in
a little cardboard container. But it had like cinnamon, sugar,
streetl topping and it was so good. Yeah. It was
just like a regular coffee cake. Um, like a vanilla
(42:43):
cake with a strusel topping coffee and having coffee. No, no, no,
you know what a coffee cake is not. It's not
a oh because maybe okay, so a coffee cake cheese
over here. So yeah, I was like, I feel like
if you grow up in the States, maybe it's more
(43:04):
of a thing you call a coffee cake, something you
eat like that you you would eat with like for breakfast. Yeah,
it's not. It's not something that has coffee in it contains.
It's just something that you would have maybe with coffee.
But so they call it a coffee cake. Normally, like
a coffee cake would be like a a sort of
(43:25):
delectable cake with cinnamon, sugar. Strusal topic. It's and it's
like a single layer cake. It's not like a birthday cake.
It's like it's like a yeah, tea time snack. Yeah,
it's it's delicious. You can put a little butter on it.
But I thought for a second I might have like
an edge because it was like coffee for kids, and
(43:45):
then that wouldn't be Okay, No, there's no coffee in it,
just in the name. Now it's just a delicious tree,
which sounds great. Yeah it's confusing. It doesn't have coffee
in it. It's just cinnamon e and yummy. So sneake
is eaten sideways. Al Right, those are three contenders. Cinnamonster,
sol for coffee cakes with no coffee in it, or
(44:08):
a piece of bread with mad with mayonnaise and American
cheese in the microwave. Yeah, those are three options, folks.
Three options. I feel like it's really only two. It
might win now because of that, I think now the
(44:29):
snickers on top of the coffee cake. So vote on
the folks. We want you guys to vote on your favorite.
We want to hear what you have to say. Yeah,
go to maybe maybe we'll find out a lot of
people made a grilled cheese in the microwave. I well,
I've done that before, but I don't think I put mayonnaise.
I don't think I put in the microwave. But I
don't think I also also, I don't think I put
(44:50):
mayonnaise on it. Mayonnaise and cheese and bread. That really
threw me off. That threw me off. And I've done
some some strange things. Syrup sandwiches is something we also
reponds so so, but mayonnaise disgusting. Um. So yeah, make
sure you guys go to the Welcome to Our Show

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
