Speaker 1 (00:03):
Ring, ring, ring ring. May I please speak with Zoe. Oh, hello, Lamarne,
Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was
like working with you guys. Hi everyone, and welcome to
(00:30):
our show with Zoe, Lamarne and Anna. Today we're talking
about an episode one oh five CC Crashes written by
Rachel Axler, directed by John Hamburg. John Hamburg. Had you
had worked with John Hamburg before, Zoe before, I had
auditioned for him. And he's just a lovely guy, such
(00:53):
a great director, great writer, all around hilarious guy, so nice.
He's the nicest guy. And uh, you guys don't are
forbid with John Hamburg. I mean, tons of great great movies.
Why him along came Polly. Yeah, just a bunch of
just a bunch of really really really dope stuff. I
love you man, um and I a really interesting I
(01:17):
love you man, and I love you Man. I love
you man, an interesting story about I love you too,
the Marvel Edition. I love you man. I'm gonna love
you man. I don't love you like I used to
love you man. I no longer love man. Let's get
(01:40):
into that love man um. So you know you had
said he's a wonderful guy. And let me let me
tell you how nice of a guy he is. When
we were shooting this episode, I I bit an almond,
A bit an almond, and I correct, this is the
tooth episode. I don't remember this because I don't. I
(02:04):
didn't work with you that much in this this episode.
I don't think so. But I remember. I remember cracking
my tooth. And I want to tell you I was
in the most pain in my life. I had broken
my collar bone before you know what I mean, I've
broken fingers, torn things in my knee. Stuff is the
worst pain. And so and I and I. At this point,
(02:28):
I'm admitting this to all these folks out here in
listener Land. I hadn't had a dentist it's so long,
and had been to the dentist it's so long. I
thought my teeth were fine, and they were. But when
I went to the dentist, they were like, okay, so
here's the problem you got. You got a few issues.
It had been, but I didn't have a dentist. So
John texted his dentist, um and and and got me
(02:52):
in immediately. And she has been my dentist ever ever since.
I don't know anybody that has like their dentist's personal
cell phone number that they can just tech emergency. Yeah
not well, yeah, I mean obviously John does, and I
think John, but that's a credit to John because she
(03:12):
must really like him. And I think also she's also
Liz Meryweather's dentist as well, dentist to all the funny
people that time drinks together. And Liz did not make
the call John did. Yeah, listen, listen come through on
the dentist. She comes through on so many other levels.
So but I think we can give her a past.
(03:32):
But enough about how nice John Hamburg is a John
Hamburg fan podcast. If you're just tuning in our show, Um,
kind of, I'm not sure if we if we discussed
this on the last episode, but you found the bear
in the last couple of episodes there was one that
(03:55):
we have that sort of in. Yeah, the wedding one
is the and that's up in question. And then we
get to hopefully get to ask Liz about, first of all,
the truth if there is an intentional bear in every episode,
and where is it in the wedding episode? If so? Um,
in this episode of I call it like now it's
become like my bear hunt. Like I'm I would try
(04:16):
to watch and remember all the things, but I'm so
distracted by hyper focusing. Now when I watch rewatch these
episodes on Where's the Bear, that the moment I find
it that I can actually like focus and pay attention
to the rest of the episode. Um, and the bear
was found and the bear was uttered by none other
(04:36):
than so We. I don't remember it, yeah, you, like
I said, I will not. I'm purposefully not looking up
for the bear. Um. You talk about how people say
things in Chicago. Oh, the bears and milk, Yeah, bears,
(04:56):
some milk? Yeah, okay yeah so um um, I will
say I went to school in Chicago, and I freaking
love of Chicago accent so much. It's there. I'm from
Chicago and I don't have an accent. You don't like
it will come out, it can come out, like um,
(05:18):
So shall we start from the top. Previously a New
Girl episode one on five, CC crashes after breaking up
with her cheating face tattoo dumbass euro DJ boyfriend. CC
asks Jess if she can stay with her until the
DJ moves out of her place. Meanwhile, back at the loft,
the guys are just trying to relax after a long week.
(05:42):
You know, guys being guys, there's so much stress on us.
Sometimes we have to just chill. But of course, when
Ceci shows up, no one can just chill. A very
drunk Cec starts dancing with the guys. Let me tell
you something. She is a horrible dancer, and also Wednesday,
but La More in real life is a really good dancer. Anyway,
Cec doing all this craziness is leaving just feeling a
(06:04):
little bit left out. Meanwhile, Winston vet Schmidt he can't
close with CC. The following morning, Schmidt hangs upside down,
claiming to do four thousand crunches to impress CC. While
Schmidt attempts to woo CC, Jess tries to determine if
Nick likes her more than just a friend. I believe
it is all in defeat. Real fans know what I'm
(06:26):
talking about. On the final night, Schmidt is tired of
the chase and asks Cec if he may sleep in
his bed. I mean, that's a true gentleman right there,
getting permission to sleep in his own damn bed. If
it was me, I would make her sleep on the floor. Norman. Anyway,
she agrees and they end up holding hands. As far
as Schmidt's concerned, he won the bed. As far as
(06:46):
Winston is concerned, he did not win the bed. Holding
hands don't count. Now back to the show, Yes, but
I want to mention something about this episode first, which
is so funny to me because probably a lot of
people have noticed this, maybe people who like to read
scripts or whatever you want to call him teleplays UM
(07:11):
for TV episodes. UM know that there's like different storylines
and we call them like a storyline, B storyline, C storyline,
depending on you know, a storylines like the main one
and then then it goes from there. And the B
storyline is kind of like the second storyline that's maybe
not the center of the story, but it's an important storyline.
So in season crashes, the CC crashes is how you
(07:35):
pronounce it, um. In CC crashes, there was a big
B storyline about a cat on that lives on the
roof like a wildcat. Um, not a wild cat, but
like a wild outdoor house cat if you was raised
by birds, that was raised by birds and lived in
(07:56):
a nest, and it was a bird cat, and Schmidt's
scared of the bird at and he doesn't want to
go on the roof because of the bird cat. And he,
you know, is really conflicted because CC ends up going
to the roof in her bathing suit and you know,
like sun tanning all day and he wants desperately to
go up there, but he's scared of this bird cat. Well,
(08:18):
in the final cut, that whole part of the story
was completely cut out, and there's only one Yeah, there's
only like one thing at the very end where they
just show a shot of the bird cat, but they
never you never hear like in the original script, he
like Schmidt says bird cat about a thousand times in
(08:38):
the episode. He's like bird cat, bird cat, bird cat,
and gone pretty much gone says that to to Winston
once and then all of a sudden he's hiding behind
the huge But you don't know why he's hiding because
he's not. It's not it's not established the way it
was in the real down. Yeah, and I'm not sure
(09:03):
why that is. I think it ended up being more important,
like it worked without it, but then there were still
remnants of it, and it doesn't there's like one bit
at the end that like doesn't totally make sense because
this whole part of the story was cut out, and
you're like, wait, why is there a cat there? Think
it's a special shot. There's a picture of a bird
(09:25):
in the nest and you're like, I know, but there's
no There are no other episodes in this show where
Schmidt is up there with the bird cat. This is
the because I remember seeing that visual and this is
that episode. This is the bird cat episode. Yeah, there's
only one bird cat. Believe it or not. They only
spent one episode talking about a bird cat and show
I mean damn bird cat in it. So in fact,
(09:50):
I also had a dream once about a bird bird
dog freaked me out. It was it was a bird
flying around my house with a doghead and it wouldn't leave. So, yeah,
that happened. What kind of dog head? I don't it
looked like it looked like it was whatever those droopy
eared dogs are, Like, Oh my god, that's the cutest thing.
(10:13):
I pictured more like a Rottweiler that would be kind
of scary, But no, I mean a basket hound dog.
I'd be like, yes, please, you really wings? You'd love
a dog with wings flying around your house. I love
I love dogs, Yeah, I mean even I also I mean,
I love cats, so I'd be like, very a cat
blow in my house, I'd be like, I just wouldn't
(10:35):
want them like flying around and like trying to get
out and squawking around. Like once they come inside, they
need to put their wings away. But imagine this, when
birds poop, it's cute and a little white stain. Do
you want that dog flying around just shipping all over
your house? No, this conversation is off the rails at
the moment. I'm just saying, because you don't have one
of those little bags poops in the grass and you
(10:55):
pick it up and you're kind neighbor. And yeah, because
what happens when that poop is flying in from nazy
feet in the air. It's hurting people. It's hurting people.
You got to wear a hard it has velocity. Okay,
you're right, that's a great point. I don't want about
the cause of death. Oh my god. Alright, let's take
(11:20):
it back to this cold open because I had the
strongest memory come back to me remembering shooting in that nightclub,
which I feel like we did it, like remember that
probably seven in the morning or something crazy, and it
was the middle of the night. It was the night
because we went out on the street and we weren't
it was night. Yeah, I mean I think we shot
(11:42):
that on Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was definitely on Hollywood.
I was trying to think what day of the week
because like like weird memory, I felt like we shot
that it was late. I actually feel like we shot
that at the end of the episode, just because it
was like, you know, Friday night or so, like I
was so scared, of course, because it was like my
(12:03):
first ever big CC episode, so I was super nervous,
and we went to go shoot this scene and again
they put me in these like you know, five in chields,
and I'm just going like, don't fall, don't fall. And
I don't know if you remember this, Zoe, but when
we were at the DJ booth on the on the fall,
(12:24):
I didn't fall. But we're at the DJ booth and
we're yelling at the European DJ DJ Diet beat beat It,
Diet beat It. And we then kind of you're like
kind of pulling me away from the DJ booth and
so like I have to kind of walk backwards and
turn before we can walk through the crowd, and I'm
wearing these five in stilettos, and they had put you
(12:45):
in like slippers because you had come in your pajamas
and I stepped on your toe. Oh I do remember
that I stepped on your toe, like really stepped on
your toe because I couldn't see where I was going.
And then we had to like call a medic and
it was bad. You really got like, yeah, I do
remember that I had I had um a bruise, but
(13:08):
like it did break the skin. Yeah yeah. And then
we were like, please give CC like um platforms, that's right,
stilettos more comfortable for you. I don't have a star.
I'm totally fine, but I do remember that. It was like, yeah,
I do remember some weird folks out there, Zoe that
would pay a lot of money to see this foot
(13:29):
scar a lot of money. Crazy Zoe m requests for
pure foot. I'm not going to see it, don't DM me. Um.
But I just I had forgotten all about it. And
then as soon as that open came up, like a
chill went through my body and I was like, oh
(13:50):
my gosh, this is where I accidentally I don't remember it.
I actually looked. It's what's so funny about me is that,
like my I have a very good memory, but I
usually remember everything positively and so like I'll be like, oh,
I'll remember like all the good stuff, and then I'll
be like, like that kind of thing. I'm like, oh,
(14:10):
I don't remember, um, but um, so you do remember
shooting till eight in the morning that day. Oh no,
I remember that stuff. I remember. Um, well, we'll get
to it our our next episode because that was the
craziest but um we we were shooting really long hours,
um and um. We were so tired at this point
(14:34):
in season one. Um and so I remember that was
a funny scene with the DJ diabete it Gavin right,
is his name Kevin? Because later that was the name.
Do you remember that Jake gave our camera operator whose
(14:55):
name was Casey but he called it was a case
He's one of the greatest camera operators. He is hilarious
as a great personality. Yeah, so funny and grumpy him
around this DJ. You know it's interesting about that that
that particular cold open. I remember when you rip his
(15:18):
shirt open, and I don't know why. This is so funny.
It's so funny. Eagles, it's my deep V my favorite deep.
You know, it's V I don't know why I like that.
That was kind of establishing a part of jazz that
I liked, which was like, let's look at it on
the bright side. Now, it's just a deeper V. Every
time I wear a deep V, which I don't um
(15:40):
every time when I come across one, I think of that.
That's because because in my life that's the only time.
That's the first time I've never heard someone referred to
anything as a deep V. Ever, Like I've seen the shirts.
I mean, I got friends who deep vs go down
in their belly buttons. I gotta say it's not my favorite.
My favorite looked on a man. Uh personally, I like,
(16:04):
you know, I like a crew neck at this time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a good that's a good nice fit. Alright, Hannah,
calm down if you were, I worked over it, hand
of calm down for all the folks out there. I'm
wearing a really tight shirt. My boobs, my two boobs, Morris. Um. Okay.
(16:29):
So we established that CC. It has nowhere to go
because Gavin A K. D J Diabet it was staying
at her model apartment and so she needs to crash
at our house. She comes back to the house, the
guys are just hanging out before we get back to
the house. I want to talk about your friendship really quickness.
(16:50):
One little moment, how reckless CC is. She goes from
being so reckless too later on seasons, you know she's
like the most like thoughtful away. Yeah yeah, but in
this particular moment, she's already leaving this club because deep
V Gavin with the tattoo on his face did her,
did her. He's done her dirty, right, And you came
(17:10):
in to save the day. As you're still trying to
save the day and leave, a group of dudes drive
by in a car and they're like hey, and she's like, oh,
let's go hang out and party with them. Yeah. So terrible,
so terribly and then again you saved time. Show. There's
so many moments we're realizing now of how this could
(17:33):
have taken a dark turn this show. Cecy was not
in the first season. I would say first, that's true,
I will say it's my it's so it's the reminds
me of the pilot where Cecie comes in and sees
like these three guys that Jess has moved in with,
and instead of like flirting with a guy, or being
(17:56):
like he's cute. She acts like a real best friend would,
which is like if you heard her, I'll kill you.
And it was I love this moment too, um of
like authentic female friendship of when Jess shows up at
the DJ booth and he's like being a jerk like
(18:16):
and Cecy is kind of a little all over the
place that Jess kind of is like you'll get away
from her and like kind of tells the guy off,
you know, as opposed to being annoyed her friend or whatever.
She just like shows up and has her back, And
I love that. That was always something that was part
of our show and the friendship. There was no like
fighting over guys or putting a guy before our friendship ever.
(18:39):
Um and that was like another second, I feel like
big establishing moment of the CC Jess friendship dynamic that
always felt authentic to me. Yeah, I love that part
of our friendship choice by you guys or was that
a writer that was written but it was authentic, which
was I feel like I do feel like they really
(19:00):
would kind of see what was working with us and
then lean into that as writers and more and more
they kind of tailored everything to us because as of
girlfriends that we are, so it was would have felt
weird of all of a sudden, it was like, oh,
that's your boyfriend. He's cute. I'm gonna take a swing.
That I would have been like, not a friend, that's right,
let's just act ablage. That's a bad that's not only
(19:23):
a bad friend, that's just not a friend. That's just
that's like a bad person. Um. So okay. So after
this whole moment where Jess comes to pick up c
C at the club, we come back to the loft
and the guys are being silly, silly you put some
(19:45):
paper towels in your nose. Well yeah, but well this
is well, remember this is the this is the Is
this the intro to the kimono? Is this is the
introduction to you? Guys are all staying home on a
Friday night or some thing? Yes? And Schmidt comes in
wearing his kimono, which is tiny, very tiny kimono. You
(20:07):
could see part of his um um if you zoom in.
Folks at home the real close attentions uh no but
to to uh. Nick and Winston are on the couch
in utter disgusted, and I even I believe Nick has
a line where he says, what happened to you? You
(20:28):
weren't always like this, It's like, what happened? It's my
pregame o, no man. And so Winston's character decides, you know,
this is uh character Lamuren's character Winston besides that he's
had enough of this this crap going on in the loft,
and so he decided to take his pants off, and
(20:50):
also he wants to wear paper towels. Um. This for
me was the first, I want to say, one of
the first times I got I got a chance to
do uh. It was a quick scene, a quick moment
with the guys and really see the banter and the
the improv back and forth between Jake and Max and
how they perform and being a part of that trio
(21:12):
of guys on the show, trying to fit in and
see you know what it was that they were doing,
you know what I mean, and trying to I'm still
season one, still trying to get my footing a little bit.
So this is an interesting, um, an interesting moment. And
then incomes you know, just and c C. Yeah, I
remember this dance sequence really well, the weird dancing that
(21:36):
we all that we did, Max, you and I because
that was actually the first shot of the day, and
it was so it was like at seven am, which
is like a little hard to kind of get yourself
going because you're up at like whatever, being here and
makeup by five, you know, and then all of a sudden,
it's like seven am. The sun's barely up, and they're like, now,
(21:59):
dance and party, pretend you're drunk. And I was so
tired and not really with it yet, and I remember
I pulled my neck. You ever had that feeling where
you really pull it and now you can't turn it
left or right, And I'll never forget being like uh.
And they're like, you gotta dance. It's got to be crazier,
and I'm like, I'm immobile, I'm injured. This is like
(22:23):
I feel like this is like the episode of injuries
like your toe, your tooth, and my neck all or
just trash during this episode. I just it was so
funny watching this episode back because I just remember all
of those things. My neck hurt, watching the dance part.
Watching the dance was one. It was so cringe e
for me because I don't like dancing on cameras. This
(22:44):
is something I just don't like doing and this is
the second time in this and on this season where
the wedding was the first time. I want to say,
and then which I which you're a good dancer. I'm
just I'm just I just have a little rhythm, that's
about it. But I don't like, you know what I mean,
I don't like to dances the whole thing. You gotta
do it so many times there's no choreographer there, so
(23:07):
I'm just kind of doing a freestyle whatever. And I
remember they like, you know, dance like you're trying to
get with c C. And I was like that, it's
at the apartment. So something so funny to me about
the back that you came back to the apartment and
(23:27):
you were like's put on girl, look at that body
and have a dance party with three people. It was
so uncomfortable. And then it was like I really not
had like met Jake Johnson at zero scenes with him.
So we met in passing like Hi, this is cool,
(23:49):
and so it was like my first time ever having
to do anything on camera with him, and it was like,
go and dance up on him, which, by the way,
just me as a person have never danced up on anybody.
And I was like, this is so uncomfortable, and of
course in the scene it's like you're being gross get
(24:12):
away for me, Like, can we just do this in
one take and have this being over. I've never felt
more awkward in my entire life during that scene and
during the wedding scene when had they said grind on Zoe,
I was like, well, they had both of you guys
doing this thing where you were like in the episodes
(24:32):
where you guys both like close in on me, and
I have to like, yeah, I know you're supposed to
stay in character and being the moment, but certain things
definitely pull you out. When your neck is pulled and
you're feeling real awkward, you're just like, can we just
move let's I think we got to grinded on by
three of the sexiest men alive men of the year
(24:52):
at one point. So watching Max like turn around and
do that like like kind of low key twerk did
make me really laugh. He crushed it. Oh yeah, yeah,
that was very funny. Wiggle little wiggle, it's still his day.
When people asked me to dance, I used that Nick
(25:13):
Miller line, I don't dance them from the town in Footloose. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that is a very memorable line. It's funny. Um. I
didn't say this earlier, but I think it's worth say
worth mentioning that Max Greenfield before this show, I mean,
he'd done a bunch of guest stars and things and
like pilots that hadn't gone but it was like the
weirdest thing in the world. He was so like such
(25:38):
like a pro by the time we started this show
that you're like, how was he not already? He had
the vibe of something like the confidence of somebody who
had already had a show on CBS for eight years,
you know what I mean? Like you were like, wait,
what you're You weren't like you weren't the star of
(25:59):
some other show. Like he had like so much confidence
and conviction in his character, and like like his performance
was like so dialed in and like unwavering that that
I remember being like, wait, this guy isn't famous already.
I felt that way the whole time too. I was like,
you obviously are the most season professional ever. Nothing they
(26:26):
throw it you seems to face you and I and
they would give him like speeches that were a page long,
like oh yeah, I was like, how are Yeah? It
was incredible like that, and he would memorize them and
have to speak so fast because that was kind of
the the pace that he'd established for his character. Um
(26:51):
and they would just give him these speeches with like
lists that would just rattle off in the words did
not understand, he didn't understand or no, like like what
is this? Who is this? I'm like, that's an author,
that's a food, that's but he would just like like
how little kids will just like no words but not
fully understand their meanings of some things. Because they would
(27:14):
give him really weird, specific cultural lists and he'd nail
it every time. My favorite, My favorite is when my
favorite is when he struggled on a word or a
line and he kept he would stop, start himself and
try to get the line out. It was Max Max
frustrated with himself. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Max would talk to himself. He would go, come on, Max, Max, well,
(27:38):
because they're asking him to do I mean, they're asking
a lot of him. Occasions, both Jake and I are
slow talkers and we both and they'd be like, we
need to see this faster. I'm like it happened for
me and Jake and I both would talk about that,
and I definitely I'm kind of like intermittently, I can
(28:01):
talk really fast and then I have to talk slow
and then talk really fast. And but it's a lot
of times when it's a line, I have a certain
way of doing things, and you know, I have to
It's not natural for me to say something fast. So
that was something Jake and I always connected on, was
that they would want us to talk unnaturally fast for
(28:23):
our own rhythms. Um, but Max had just he naturally
had that speed. But then it was you know, they
there were definitely some challenging speeches for him, and he
always it was hilarious. Okay, we're gonna just pause for
a second to take a commercial break and talk about
(28:45):
some of the things that we love, and you will
too welcome speaking of challenging speeches. Um, I feel like
it's time we address the the India the India speech
(29:11):
he gives, which I remember, that's right, that's right, that's right,
because I remember sitting there and I was so grateful
at least they gave lamour and I the moment to
have the genuine reaction, because I've absolutely sat in front
(29:31):
of somebody before who's like India, let me tell you
all the weird stereotypes that don't applide to India that
will make you feel like we relate and I know
your culture. I think it was also funny. It's such
a funny line to give you where you say, what
what is my culture? Right, and then he's like doesn't know,
(29:53):
He's like, I love your culture. And then you're like, okay,
all right, let's go test on this path kids. Let's
Oh my god, Jeffrey and I don't know how much
of which I'm surprised Schmidt wasn't canceled after different era
(30:13):
different But I do like the fact that you have
those moments and then you can have the genuine reaction.
And then they allowed my character to have the smart moment, yeah,
to send him to the roof of the bird cat
and just show how easily that she was actually the
one in charge. And I love that that they gave
(30:36):
the power to see c in the moment um. But
it was I just remember sitting there because of course
there was a thousand alts, right, So that's a part
of the list, so everyone listening. Alts are what we
call alternative jokes, you know, and most comedy shows they
do this where they'll have the script and then they
(30:57):
have all all which um would be other jokes that
can kind of be interchanged with the jokes that are
in the script just in case that joke doesn't work
when they go to to the edit. Um. And then
we would also improvise a lot as well. So um,
(31:18):
we would always have a lot of options for jokes, um,
whether they were written jokes or improvised jokes that could
be kind of interchanged with the jokes in the script. Right.
So they had a very dense alt pack. Yeah, we
had stereotypes, wrote a ton of alts with and wrote
(31:40):
a ton of Indian stereotypes, right. And so I just
remember sitting there because I feel like the coverage was
on him first, and it was so we have to
sit there and you're just listening to every stereotype about
your culture being said to you the entire time. Um,
But I was. I was really when they turned the
(32:01):
camera around and Lamourn and I got to have that
knowing look also between each other gave us, I feel
like our first CC Winston moment of kind of yeah
looking at each other being like yeah, yeah, that was
our first rodeo. Okay, that was probably our first that
was that was again, that's foreshadowing to the messing around
we do later. And for those that we're not talking
(32:23):
about messing around in the biblical sense, we're talking about
messing around in the New Girls sense, where CC and
Winston just do weird stuff, right, they're their only little
inside jokes, And that could have been the first one. Um,
here's the big question from this episode was Yeah, the
(32:43):
first one. I feel like the big question was, because
this is the Nick Jest storyline, was can men and
women just be friends or at some point in the
friendship does one party or the other think about what
it would be like to be with them or sleep
with them? Right? So this I did think this. I
(33:08):
did think the storylines in this episode were very funny.
I like them, and I remember this was for me. Um,
this was a big Nick Jess episode, um, because there
was a It was kind of the first time we
established like where it said out loud and Cec I
(33:28):
like that. Cecy is the one who says it, like,
I think Nick likes you, and then she gets it
in Jess's head and of course Jess reacts in a
really weird, awkward, uncomfortable way. Um but yeah, I laughed
out loud at a lot of the foot, but the feet,
because it's kind of how it happened. Somebody puts something
(33:52):
in your head and then you're like out of my head,
and then it's really difficult because somehow everything in your
environment then somehow confirms the thing that you're trying to
get out of your head. And I feel like that
happens a lot in life. So I thought it was
a funny. It was a funny storyline. I feel like,
even though it's exaggerated for a comedy, like, there is
(34:15):
so much truth though about how body language is analyzed
to figure out if someone is into you, right, like
if someone sits back and crosses their arms and you're
on a date with them the entire time, versus if
they like lean forward and and are kind of like engaging.
People dissect that stuff. So, but people also do those
like postures. I feel like to try to look cool.
(34:38):
That's that's what I do. I put if you guys
can't see what's always doing, She's putting her arm on
the back of the chain back. I do that constantly.
One because I have very fresh under arms. Okay, so
I'm allowing the room to one feel those and and
since those phaeromones, but also that whatever scent that I'm
wearing for that day, I'm just given out nothing but love.
(35:02):
And so that's how I get the attention. I lean
back like this and one that's the bicep, So that's flexing.
That's letting her know, Hey, I'm just chilling ing you
to read, though, is uninterested if you're like so casually
laid back and she's telling like a story, like at
some point, I'm sure if you were into the girl,
you would. I'm sure that's what Gavin the DJ did,
(35:24):
and I'm sure you know what I mean, Like you can.
I think there's there's Well, it also depends because there's
multiple ways. You if you're if you're two forward, if
you're if you show too much interest, the other person
may retreat. If two people are yeah, you're like, well
that's a that's if I talk to this person, we
are for sure going to be in a committed relationship
(35:46):
because this person is putting all their cards on the table.
I'm so interested in you. If it's the other way around,
if everyone's just relaxed and you see where it goes.
People who on the first day or like should we
talk about kids? Yeah, loved them about we order first?
So en, do you think that men and women can
be friends? Yes, I have, I have with all you
(36:09):
thought across all your friends, lamarens friends like he has
like so many friends, and I would say a lot
of them are women. Am I correct? Ever crossed your
mind early when you first met that girl who's now
your friend and all those women that are girl friends.
So like, let's be let's tread delicately here, I feel
(36:31):
like than us. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yes, it happens.
It comes across your mind at some point, you know,
in the beginning, usually usually the beginning, because as a
as a it's a quick thing. It's more like no,
all right, once you established, once you established a boundary
(36:54):
and friendship, it just moves in a completely different direction, right,
And I think, I um, work is different. I think
I think work is different because automatically you're going into
a work situation like Nope, that's not that's not what
I'm doing. Unless you never know it happens with people.
But I'm saying in regular friendships and regular I'm saying,
good regular friendships. You know, it's it may happen. But
(37:19):
I have friends that I am that I that are
women folk and you know, never never crossed my mind
some of them, you know what I mean, But not
even in the beginning, not a thought. It's hard to say.
It's it's hard to say yes because I've been friends
with some of these people for so long. Um, I'm sure,
(37:40):
I'm sure it's crossed their mind with me. And that's
and that's not their fault again, pha Amont, it's because
of the posture, because thank you for saying so again,
Calm down. Sorry, sorry, sorry, It doesn't remind me that
(38:00):
when I was in high school, there was like a
guy that all the girls liked, and I walked past
him in the hallway one time and he said he
like did that like head nod? And he went what's up?
And at the time I was like fourteen, and I
didn't know what you say to what's up? I was like,
what do you say? And I hadn't even thought about
(38:20):
it and thought, you know, sometimes people say what's up? Um,
what do I say back when somebody says that? So
I remember him going, um, what's up? And I was like, Hi, Hi,
and forever more. And I was like, that was so stupid.
(38:40):
And then like for a couple of weeks, like my
friends and I talked about what you say when you
get a quick head, what's up? Not much? Or yeah
or or or um or you can say what's up?
Back right, you go? You know what's up? What's up?
(39:03):
You could do that. That's what I decided. I don't
know that was did you end up dating this guy? No,
you come back tomorrow? Hey? Um? That guy remembers that
moment as do you know? There was this one time
I said what's up to Zoe Daanel And it didn't
(39:26):
seem like she was interested in It's burn in his
memory too. I was very I was very shy in
high school, you guys. I was not shy on stage
because I was like a theater kid and I would
be in all the musicals and stuff. But I was
very shy, like, um, that was it? What I mean?
I wasn't we could call a nerd. I was in
a lot of clubs. I started multiple clubs, started the clubs.
(39:51):
Yeah yeah, because I was in all these clubs and
then there was no Philosophy club and I had to
start it and there was no fact, shun't club. So
I started the Fashion Club and the Philosophy Club. And
so this is actually funny. We had the same faculty
advisor for both of them, and the yearbook STAF got confused,
and then we took a picture of the Philosophy Club
(40:12):
and they put it as the Fashion Philosophers and I
was like, no, the Fashion Club was just two of us.
It was just me and one of my girlfriends and um,
and that was the Fashion Club. And it was basically
like us just sitting at lunch in a classroom looking
at Vogue and um and like you know Paris fashion magazines. UM.
(40:32):
So yeah, the Fashion Club and the and the Philosophy
Club accidentally got combined. Speaking of Fashion Club, let's go
to a commercial break so we can talk about all
the things that Zoe wearsco. I will say this because
(40:58):
this is related to New Wrong. We haven't talked about
this yet, and I hope we have, UM Deborah McGuire
on UM to talk about costumes. I love shopping, I
love costumes. I love sewing. That was another nerdy thing
I did in high school. I sewed my own clothes.
I didn't have a sewing club. Because I actually didn't
know anyone else who sewed. I took pattern making, I
(41:19):
took sewing. Glasses is going to be hand stitched by sewing.
That's not true, but now, um but um um. I
loved working with Deborah and I for all, like pretty
much the first season, I went with her. We went
(41:41):
shopping together for a lot of vintage clothes for Jess
and I like the first season, like establishing Jess's you
know style. I was with them shopping for all of it.
So that was really a fun part of greeting this character.
I have to say. The one last thing I would
say about this episode, which I I remembered so clearly too,
(42:06):
is that there's this moment where Schmitt and CC hold hands,
which is really sweet. But I remember for that shot
they brought in a crane to get that overhead shot,
which I feel like in later years they would have
just had Polly or Casey like stand on top of
us and like straggle over our hands and been like,
(42:27):
we got it, it's fine, we'll make it work. But
they brought in a crane, and for me, I had
never shot anything that had something that fancy. It felt
like for this really sweet moment of just a close
up on our hands, um, and that signified to me.
I was like, why are they're going to all of
these lengths? This is not just like a joke of
(42:48):
Schmitt and CC being a little drunk and having like
a funny episode moment. I think this is actually going
to turn into like a relationship arc at some point. No,
I didn't. I was so scared. That's nothing scared me.
I was like looking at my nails, being like hands,
(43:11):
I did look at a true I'm just gonna say
that was a joke posted on your hand, very pretty hands.
Thank you. That's why they call you handa pretty hands.
And that's out And that was stupid joke. Okay, but
(43:32):
I remember that moment. There were so many things that
I got established, relationship wise, romantic wise, like they really
kind of opened it up on this episode, which I
really really like, one of the funniest episodes. But also
Nick and Jess and Schmitt and c C and then
the first Winston CC mess around all their folks. They're
(43:53):
got to look for it, alright, So time for True American.
Welcome to True American, where the rules change weekly and
you leave more confused than when you showed up. Now
this week we are playing an American prince. In this episode,
(44:17):
we get a glimpse of Schmidt's romantic side. Today, we're
gonna remember other great American princes by guessing what movie
they appeared in based on their most romantic line. Are
you guys ready to play? Ready? I'm ready? Okay? The
first line when you realize you want to spend the
rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest
(44:39):
of your life to start as soon as possible. Yeah,
is that is that correct? Oh? See, I don't see.
See I shouldn't have picked this guy because I don't
know any of these answers. So we talked about it
this episode, so it was front of mine. But I
was like, I know that's from something I don't remember
what they're years eve party. I'm about this one. So
(45:04):
it's not going to be easy. It's gonna be really hard,
and we're gonna have to work at this every day.
But I want to do that because I won't you.
I want all of you forever, you and me every day.
I'm so intense. I know, I don't even know if
it was delivered that way in the movie. I hope
(45:26):
I don't know. I'm not gonna be good at this.
I'm this doesn't get you A happy actor is Ryan Gosling?
Ok Yeah, we're like there's one romantic movie the rest
of them. I have a dark side. We're going with
that one. Um. Okay, here we go, next one. Okay, sorry,
(45:47):
wait what happened? Are you okay? No? Well I have yes,
I am, I'm fine. I just saw on this, like,
so we have a print out of what these quotes
are and the more's reading them, and I literally just
saw the first two words of this one and it's
from my favorite movie of all time ever period And
just even seeing that this is going to be said
on our podcast just gave me that reaction. Okay, so
(46:09):
this must be so this must be from Pooty Tang. Okay,
first line, No, um, I love you not like they
told you. Love is. And I didn't know this either,
But love don't make things nice. It ruins everything, It
breaks your heart, it makes things amiss. We aren't here
(46:31):
to make things perfect. The snow flakes are perfect, the
stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We are here
to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love
the wrong people and die. It's not I know that, Hannah.
(46:52):
You want to tell us so excited? No, Nicholas Cage
says this to share in moonst oh Moons, and he goes, now,
get in my bed. It's very aggressive. Yeah, he says that,
I do know what the next quote is from, and
it's very on brand. So let's just say it and
(47:13):
let me guess because I know what it is. Okay,
you want to say it. You say you want to
say that, you want to read the Look, all right,
what do you want? You want the moon? Just say
the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and
pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll
give you the moon. That is from It's a wonderful
(47:34):
you know about Bible, It's a wonderful life. And that's
Jimmy Stewart. I wouldn't have known that. You wouldn't know.
I watched it. I watched every Christmas Moon. You say
the word and I'll throw it a lasso around it.
Didn't pull it down, is how he sounds. Pretty much. Yeah,
it's really good. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give
you the moon. Okay. This next one is a classic.
(47:57):
I haven't even looked at it, well, I knew how
to quit you. Oh, that's Broke Back Mountain. That's got
to be Broke Back Mountain. I haven't seen the movie,
but I know Niccolas Cage takes up a lot of
space and like the romcom area in my head because
of you just love Nicolas Cage. I just love that movie.
So and Nicolas Cage will also be a guest on
this show episode where right our butts can't cash. But
(48:24):
Nicholas Cage is going to be a guest on the show.

Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was
like working with you guys. Hi everyone, and welcome to
(00:30):
our show with Zoe, Lamarne and Anna. Today we're talking
about an episode one oh five CC Crashes written by
Rachel Axler, directed by John Hamburg. John Hamburg. Had you
had worked with John Hamburg before, Zoe before, I had
auditioned for him. And he's just a lovely guy, such
(00:53):
a great director, great writer, all around hilarious guy, so nice.
He's the nicest guy. And uh, you guys don't are
forbid with John Hamburg. I mean, tons of great great movies.
Why him along came Polly. Yeah, just a bunch of
just a bunch of really really really dope stuff. I
love you man, um and I a really interesting I
(01:17):
love you man, and I love you Man. I love
you man, an interesting story about I love you too,
the Marvel Edition. I love you man. I'm gonna love
you man. I don't love you like I used to
love you man. I no longer love man. Let's get
(01:40):
into that love man um. So you know you had
said he's a wonderful guy. And let me let me
tell you how nice of a guy he is. When
we were shooting this episode, I I bit an almond,
A bit an almond, and I correct, this is the
tooth episode. I don't remember this because I don't. I
(02:04):
didn't work with you that much in this this episode.
I don't think so. But I remember. I remember cracking
my tooth. And I want to tell you I was
in the most pain in my life. I had broken
my collar bone before you know what I mean, I've
broken fingers, torn things in my knee. Stuff is the
worst pain. And so and I and I. At this point,
(02:28):
I'm admitting this to all these folks out here in
listener Land. I hadn't had a dentist it's so long,
and had been to the dentist it's so long. I
thought my teeth were fine, and they were. But when
I went to the dentist, they were like, okay, so
here's the problem you got. You got a few issues.
It had been, but I didn't have a dentist. So
John texted his dentist, um and and and got me
(02:52):
in immediately. And she has been my dentist ever ever since.
I don't know anybody that has like their dentist's personal
cell phone number that they can just tech emergency. Yeah
not well, yeah, I mean obviously John does, and I
think John, but that's a credit to John because she
(03:12):
must really like him. And I think also she's also
Liz Meryweather's dentist as well, dentist to all the funny
people that time drinks together. And Liz did not make
the call John did. Yeah, listen, listen come through on
the dentist. She comes through on so many other levels.
So but I think we can give her a past.
(03:32):
But enough about how nice John Hamburg is a John
Hamburg fan podcast. If you're just tuning in our show, Um,
kind of, I'm not sure if we if we discussed
this on the last episode, but you found the bear
in the last couple of episodes there was one that
(03:55):
we have that sort of in. Yeah, the wedding one
is the and that's up in question. And then we
get to hopefully get to ask Liz about, first of all,
the truth if there is an intentional bear in every episode,
and where is it in the wedding episode? If so? Um,
in this episode of I call it like now it's
become like my bear hunt. Like I'm I would try
(04:16):
to watch and remember all the things, but I'm so
distracted by hyper focusing. Now when I watch rewatch these
episodes on Where's the Bear, that the moment I find
it that I can actually like focus and pay attention
to the rest of the episode. Um, and the bear
was found and the bear was uttered by none other
(04:36):
than so We. I don't remember it, yeah, you, like
I said, I will not. I'm purposefully not looking up
for the bear. Um. You talk about how people say
things in Chicago. Oh, the bears and milk, Yeah, bears,
(04:56):
some milk? Yeah, okay yeah so um um, I will
say I went to school in Chicago, and I freaking
love of Chicago accent so much. It's there. I'm from
Chicago and I don't have an accent. You don't like
it will come out, it can come out, like um,
(05:18):
So shall we start from the top. Previously a New
Girl episode one on five, CC crashes after breaking up
with her cheating face tattoo dumbass euro DJ boyfriend. CC
asks Jess if she can stay with her until the
DJ moves out of her place. Meanwhile, back at the loft,
the guys are just trying to relax after a long week.
(05:42):
You know, guys being guys, there's so much stress on us.
Sometimes we have to just chill. But of course, when
Ceci shows up, no one can just chill. A very
drunk Cec starts dancing with the guys. Let me tell
you something. She is a horrible dancer, and also Wednesday,
but La More in real life is a really good dancer. Anyway,
Cec doing all this craziness is leaving just feeling a
(06:04):
little bit left out. Meanwhile, Winston vet Schmidt he can't
close with CC. The following morning, Schmidt hangs upside down,
claiming to do four thousand crunches to impress CC. While
Schmidt attempts to woo CC, Jess tries to determine if
Nick likes her more than just a friend. I believe
it is all in defeat. Real fans know what I'm
(06:26):
talking about. On the final night, Schmidt is tired of
the chase and asks Cec if he may sleep in
his bed. I mean, that's a true gentleman right there,
getting permission to sleep in his own damn bed. If
it was me, I would make her sleep on the floor. Norman. Anyway,
she agrees and they end up holding hands. As far
as Schmidt's concerned, he won the bed. As far as
(06:46):
Winston is concerned, he did not win the bed. Holding
hands don't count. Now back to the show, Yes, but
I want to mention something about this episode first, which
is so funny to me because probably a lot of
people have noticed this, maybe people who like to read
scripts or whatever you want to call him teleplays UM
(07:11):
for TV episodes. UM know that there's like different storylines
and we call them like a storyline, B storyline, C storyline,
depending on you know, a storylines like the main one
and then then it goes from there. And the B
storyline is kind of like the second storyline that's maybe
not the center of the story, but it's an important storyline.
So in season crashes, the CC crashes is how you
(07:35):
pronounce it, um. In CC crashes, there was a big
B storyline about a cat on that lives on the
roof like a wildcat. Um, not a wild cat, but
like a wild outdoor house cat if you was raised
by birds, that was raised by birds and lived in
(07:56):
a nest, and it was a bird cat, and Schmidt's
scared of the bird at and he doesn't want to
go on the roof because of the bird cat. And he,
you know, is really conflicted because CC ends up going
to the roof in her bathing suit and you know,
like sun tanning all day and he wants desperately to
go up there, but he's scared of this bird cat. Well,
(08:18):
in the final cut, that whole part of the story
was completely cut out, and there's only one Yeah, there's
only like one thing at the very end where they
just show a shot of the bird cat, but they
never you never hear like in the original script, he
like Schmidt says bird cat about a thousand times in
(08:38):
the episode. He's like bird cat, bird cat, bird cat,
and gone pretty much gone says that to to Winston
once and then all of a sudden he's hiding behind
the huge But you don't know why he's hiding because
he's not. It's not it's not established the way it
was in the real down. Yeah, and I'm not sure
(09:03):
why that is. I think it ended up being more important,
like it worked without it, but then there were still
remnants of it, and it doesn't there's like one bit
at the end that like doesn't totally make sense because
this whole part of the story was cut out, and
you're like, wait, why is there a cat there? Think
it's a special shot. There's a picture of a bird
(09:25):
in the nest and you're like, I know, but there's
no There are no other episodes in this show where
Schmidt is up there with the bird cat. This is
the because I remember seeing that visual and this is
that episode. This is the bird cat episode. Yeah, there's
only one bird cat. Believe it or not. They only
spent one episode talking about a bird cat and show
I mean damn bird cat in it. So in fact,
(09:50):
I also had a dream once about a bird bird
dog freaked me out. It was it was a bird
flying around my house with a doghead and it wouldn't leave. So, yeah,
that happened. What kind of dog head? I don't it
looked like it looked like it was whatever those droopy
eared dogs are, Like, Oh my god, that's the cutest thing.
(10:13):
I pictured more like a Rottweiler that would be kind
of scary, But no, I mean a basket hound dog.
I'd be like, yes, please, you really wings? You'd love
a dog with wings flying around your house. I love
I love dogs, Yeah, I mean even I also I mean,
I love cats, so I'd be like, very a cat
blow in my house, I'd be like, I just wouldn't
(10:35):
want them like flying around and like trying to get
out and squawking around. Like once they come inside, they
need to put their wings away. But imagine this, when
birds poop, it's cute and a little white stain. Do
you want that dog flying around just shipping all over
your house? No, this conversation is off the rails at
the moment. I'm just saying, because you don't have one
of those little bags poops in the grass and you
(10:55):
pick it up and you're kind neighbor. And yeah, because
what happens when that poop is flying in from nazy
feet in the air. It's hurting people. It's hurting people.
You got to wear a hard it has velocity. Okay,
you're right, that's a great point. I don't want about
the cause of death. Oh my god. Alright, let's take
(11:20):
it back to this cold open because I had the
strongest memory come back to me remembering shooting in that nightclub,
which I feel like we did it, like remember that
probably seven in the morning or something crazy, and it
was the middle of the night. It was the night
because we went out on the street and we weren't
it was night. Yeah, I mean I think we shot
(11:42):
that on Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was definitely on Hollywood.
I was trying to think what day of the week
because like like weird memory, I felt like we shot
that it was late. I actually feel like we shot
that at the end of the episode, just because it
was like, you know, Friday night or so, like I
was so scared, of course, because it was like my
(12:03):
first ever big CC episode, so I was super nervous,
and we went to go shoot this scene and again
they put me in these like you know, five in chields,
and I'm just going like, don't fall, don't fall. And
I don't know if you remember this, Zoe, but when
we were at the DJ booth on the on the fall,
(12:24):
I didn't fall. But we're at the DJ booth and
we're yelling at the European DJ DJ Diet beat beat It,
Diet beat It. And we then kind of you're like
kind of pulling me away from the DJ booth and
so like I have to kind of walk backwards and
turn before we can walk through the crowd, and I'm
wearing these five in stilettos, and they had put you
(12:45):
in like slippers because you had come in your pajamas
and I stepped on your toe. Oh I do remember
that I stepped on your toe, like really stepped on
your toe because I couldn't see where I was going.
And then we had to like call a medic and
it was bad. You really got like, yeah, I do
remember that I had I had um a bruise, but
(13:08):
like it did break the skin. Yeah yeah. And then
we were like, please give CC like um platforms, that's right,
stilettos more comfortable for you. I don't have a star.
I'm totally fine, but I do remember that. It was like, yeah,
I do remember some weird folks out there, Zoe that
would pay a lot of money to see this foot
(13:29):
scar a lot of money. Crazy Zoe m requests for
pure foot. I'm not going to see it, don't DM me. Um.
But I just I had forgotten all about it. And
then as soon as that open came up, like a
chill went through my body and I was like, oh
(13:50):
my gosh, this is where I accidentally I don't remember it.
I actually looked. It's what's so funny about me is that,
like my I have a very good memory, but I
usually remember everything positively and so like I'll be like, oh,
I'll remember like all the good stuff, and then I'll
be like, like that kind of thing. I'm like, oh,
(14:10):
I don't remember, um, but um, so you do remember
shooting till eight in the morning that day. Oh no,
I remember that stuff. I remember. Um, well, we'll get
to it our our next episode because that was the
craziest but um we we were shooting really long hours,
um and um. We were so tired at this point
(14:34):
in season one. Um and so I remember that was
a funny scene with the DJ diabete it Gavin right,
is his name Kevin? Because later that was the name.
Do you remember that Jake gave our camera operator whose
(14:55):
name was Casey but he called it was a case
He's one of the greatest camera operators. He is hilarious
as a great personality. Yeah, so funny and grumpy him
around this DJ. You know it's interesting about that that
that particular cold open. I remember when you rip his
(15:18):
shirt open, and I don't know why. This is so funny.
It's so funny. Eagles, it's my deep V my favorite deep.
You know, it's V I don't know why I like that.
That was kind of establishing a part of jazz that
I liked, which was like, let's look at it on
the bright side. Now, it's just a deeper V. Every
time I wear a deep V, which I don't um
(15:40):
every time when I come across one, I think of that.
That's because because in my life that's the only time.
That's the first time I've never heard someone referred to
anything as a deep V. Ever, Like I've seen the shirts.
I mean, I got friends who deep vs go down
in their belly buttons. I gotta say it's not my favorite.
My favorite looked on a man. Uh personally, I like,
(16:04):
you know, I like a crew neck at this time. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a good that's a good nice fit. Alright, Hannah,
calm down if you were, I worked over it, hand
of calm down for all the folks out there. I'm
wearing a really tight shirt. My boobs, my two boobs, Morris. Um. Okay.
(16:29):
So we established that CC. It has nowhere to go
because Gavin A K. D J Diabet it was staying
at her model apartment and so she needs to crash
at our house. She comes back to the house, the
guys are just hanging out before we get back to
the house. I want to talk about your friendship really quickness.
(16:50):
One little moment, how reckless CC is. She goes from
being so reckless too later on seasons, you know she's
like the most like thoughtful away. Yeah yeah, but in
this particular moment, she's already leaving this club because deep
V Gavin with the tattoo on his face did her,
did her. He's done her dirty, right, And you came
(17:10):
in to save the day. As you're still trying to
save the day and leave, a group of dudes drive
by in a car and they're like hey, and she's like, oh,
let's go hang out and party with them. Yeah. So terrible,
so terribly and then again you saved time. Show. There's
so many moments we're realizing now of how this could
(17:33):
have taken a dark turn this show. Cecy was not
in the first season. I would say first, that's true,
I will say it's my it's so it's the reminds
me of the pilot where Cecie comes in and sees
like these three guys that Jess has moved in with,
and instead of like flirting with a guy, or being
(17:56):
like he's cute. She acts like a real best friend would,
which is like if you heard her, I'll kill you.
And it was I love this moment too, um of
like authentic female friendship of when Jess shows up at
the DJ booth and he's like being a jerk like
(18:16):
and Cecy is kind of a little all over the
place that Jess kind of is like you'll get away
from her and like kind of tells the guy off,
you know, as opposed to being annoyed her friend or whatever.
She just like shows up and has her back, And
I love that. That was always something that was part
of our show and the friendship. There was no like
fighting over guys or putting a guy before our friendship ever.
(18:39):
Um and that was like another second, I feel like
big establishing moment of the CC Jess friendship dynamic that
always felt authentic to me. Yeah, I love that part
of our friendship choice by you guys or was that
a writer that was written but it was authentic, which
was I feel like I do feel like they really
(19:00):
would kind of see what was working with us and
then lean into that as writers and more and more
they kind of tailored everything to us because as of
girlfriends that we are, so it was would have felt
weird of all of a sudden, it was like, oh,
that's your boyfriend. He's cute. I'm gonna take a swing.
That I would have been like, not a friend, that's right,
let's just act ablage. That's a bad that's not only
(19:23):
a bad friend, that's just not a friend. That's just
that's like a bad person. Um. So okay. So after
this whole moment where Jess comes to pick up c
C at the club, we come back to the loft
and the guys are being silly, silly you put some
(19:45):
paper towels in your nose. Well yeah, but well this
is well, remember this is the this is the Is
this the intro to the kimono? Is this is the
introduction to you? Guys are all staying home on a
Friday night or some thing? Yes? And Schmidt comes in
wearing his kimono, which is tiny, very tiny kimono. You
(20:07):
could see part of his um um if you zoom in.
Folks at home the real close attentions uh no but
to to uh. Nick and Winston are on the couch
in utter disgusted, and I even I believe Nick has
a line where he says, what happened to you? You
(20:28):
weren't always like this, It's like, what happened? It's my
pregame o, no man. And so Winston's character decides, you know,
this is uh character Lamuren's character Winston besides that he's
had enough of this this crap going on in the loft,
and so he decided to take his pants off, and
(20:50):
also he wants to wear paper towels. Um. This for
me was the first, I want to say, one of
the first times I got I got a chance to
do uh. It was a quick scene, a quick moment
with the guys and really see the banter and the
the improv back and forth between Jake and Max and
how they perform and being a part of that trio
(21:12):
of guys on the show, trying to fit in and
see you know what it was that they were doing,
you know what I mean, and trying to I'm still
season one, still trying to get my footing a little bit.
So this is an interesting, um, an interesting moment. And
then incomes you know, just and c C. Yeah, I
remember this dance sequence really well, the weird dancing that
(21:36):
we all that we did, Max, you and I because
that was actually the first shot of the day, and
it was so it was like at seven am, which
is like a little hard to kind of get yourself
going because you're up at like whatever, being here and
makeup by five, you know, and then all of a sudden,
it's like seven am. The sun's barely up, and they're like, now,
(21:59):
dance and party, pretend you're drunk. And I was so
tired and not really with it yet, and I remember
I pulled my neck. You ever had that feeling where
you really pull it and now you can't turn it
left or right, And I'll never forget being like uh.
And they're like, you gotta dance. It's got to be crazier,
and I'm like, I'm immobile, I'm injured. This is like
(22:23):
I feel like this is like the episode of injuries
like your toe, your tooth, and my neck all or
just trash during this episode. I just it was so
funny watching this episode back because I just remember all
of those things. My neck hurt, watching the dance part.
Watching the dance was one. It was so cringe e
for me because I don't like dancing on cameras. This
(22:44):
is something I just don't like doing and this is
the second time in this and on this season where
the wedding was the first time. I want to say,
and then which I which you're a good dancer. I'm
just I'm just I just have a little rhythm, that's
about it. But I don't like, you know what I mean,
I don't like to dances the whole thing. You gotta
do it so many times there's no choreographer there, so
(23:07):
I'm just kind of doing a freestyle whatever. And I
remember they like, you know, dance like you're trying to
get with c C. And I was like that, it's
at the apartment. So something so funny to me about
the back that you came back to the apartment and
(23:27):
you were like's put on girl, look at that body
and have a dance party with three people. It was
so uncomfortable. And then it was like I really not
had like met Jake Johnson at zero scenes with him.
So we met in passing like Hi, this is cool,
(23:49):
and so it was like my first time ever having
to do anything on camera with him, and it was like,
go and dance up on him, which, by the way,
just me as a person have never danced up on anybody.
And I was like, this is so uncomfortable, and of
course in the scene it's like you're being gross get
(24:12):
away for me, Like, can we just do this in
one take and have this being over. I've never felt
more awkward in my entire life during that scene and
during the wedding scene when had they said grind on Zoe,
I was like, well, they had both of you guys
doing this thing where you were like in the episodes
(24:32):
where you guys both like close in on me, and
I have to like, yeah, I know you're supposed to
stay in character and being the moment, but certain things
definitely pull you out. When your neck is pulled and
you're feeling real awkward, you're just like, can we just
move let's I think we got to grinded on by
three of the sexiest men alive men of the year
(24:52):
at one point. So watching Max like turn around and
do that like like kind of low key twerk did
make me really laugh. He crushed it. Oh yeah, yeah,
that was very funny. Wiggle little wiggle, it's still his day.
When people asked me to dance, I used that Nick
(25:13):
Miller line, I don't dance them from the town in Footloose. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that is a very memorable line. It's funny. Um. I
didn't say this earlier, but I think it's worth say
worth mentioning that Max Greenfield before this show, I mean,
he'd done a bunch of guest stars and things and
like pilots that hadn't gone but it was like the
weirdest thing in the world. He was so like such
(25:38):
like a pro by the time we started this show
that you're like, how was he not already? He had
the vibe of something like the confidence of somebody who
had already had a show on CBS for eight years,
you know what I mean? Like you were like, wait,
what you're You weren't like you weren't the star of
(25:59):
some other show. Like he had like so much confidence
and conviction in his character, and like like his performance
was like so dialed in and like unwavering that that
I remember being like, wait, this guy isn't famous already.
I felt that way the whole time too. I was like,
you obviously are the most season professional ever. Nothing they
(26:26):
throw it you seems to face you and I and
they would give him like speeches that were a page long,
like oh yeah, I was like, how are Yeah? It
was incredible like that, and he would memorize them and
have to speak so fast because that was kind of
the the pace that he'd established for his character. Um
(26:51):
and they would just give him these speeches with like
lists that would just rattle off in the words did
not understand, he didn't understand or no, like like what
is this? Who is this? I'm like, that's an author,
that's a food, that's but he would just like like
how little kids will just like no words but not
fully understand their meanings of some things. Because they would
(27:14):
give him really weird, specific cultural lists and he'd nail
it every time. My favorite, My favorite is when my
favorite is when he struggled on a word or a
line and he kept he would stop, start himself and
try to get the line out. It was Max Max
frustrated with himself. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Max would talk to himself. He would go, come on, Max, Max, well,
(27:38):
because they're asking him to do I mean, they're asking
a lot of him. Occasions, both Jake and I are
slow talkers and we both and they'd be like, we
need to see this faster. I'm like it happened for
me and Jake and I both would talk about that,
and I definitely I'm kind of like intermittently, I can
(28:01):
talk really fast and then I have to talk slow
and then talk really fast. And but it's a lot
of times when it's a line, I have a certain
way of doing things, and you know, I have to
It's not natural for me to say something fast. So
that was something Jake and I always connected on, was
that they would want us to talk unnaturally fast for
(28:23):
our own rhythms. Um, but Max had just he naturally
had that speed. But then it was you know, they
there were definitely some challenging speeches for him, and he
always it was hilarious. Okay, we're gonna just pause for
a second to take a commercial break and talk about
(28:45):
some of the things that we love, and you will
too welcome speaking of challenging speeches. Um, I feel like
it's time we address the the India the India speech
(29:11):
he gives, which I remember, that's right, that's right, that's right,
because I remember sitting there and I was so grateful
at least they gave lamour and I the moment to
have the genuine reaction, because I've absolutely sat in front
(29:31):
of somebody before who's like India, let me tell you
all the weird stereotypes that don't applide to India that
will make you feel like we relate and I know
your culture. I think it was also funny. It's such
a funny line to give you where you say, what
what is my culture? Right, and then he's like doesn't know,
(29:53):
He's like, I love your culture. And then you're like, okay,
all right, let's go test on this path kids. Let's
Oh my god, Jeffrey and I don't know how much
of which I'm surprised Schmidt wasn't canceled after different era
(30:13):
different But I do like the fact that you have
those moments and then you can have the genuine reaction.
And then they allowed my character to have the smart moment, yeah,
to send him to the roof of the bird cat
and just show how easily that she was actually the
one in charge. And I love that that they gave
(30:36):
the power to see c in the moment um. But
it was I just remember sitting there because of course
there was a thousand alts, right, So that's a part
of the list, so everyone listening. Alts are what we
call alternative jokes, you know, and most comedy shows they
do this where they'll have the script and then they
(30:57):
have all all which um would be other jokes that
can kind of be interchanged with the jokes that are
in the script just in case that joke doesn't work
when they go to to the edit. Um. And then
we would also improvise a lot as well. So um,
(31:18):
we would always have a lot of options for jokes, um,
whether they were written jokes or improvised jokes that could
be kind of interchanged with the jokes in the script. Right.
So they had a very dense alt pack. Yeah, we
had stereotypes, wrote a ton of alts with and wrote
(31:40):
a ton of Indian stereotypes, right. And so I just
remember sitting there because I feel like the coverage was
on him first, and it was so we have to
sit there and you're just listening to every stereotype about
your culture being said to you the entire time. Um,
But I was. I was really when they turned the
(32:01):
camera around and Lamourn and I got to have that
knowing look also between each other gave us, I feel
like our first CC Winston moment of kind of yeah
looking at each other being like yeah, yeah, that was
our first rodeo. Okay, that was probably our first that
was that was again, that's foreshadowing to the messing around
we do later. And for those that we're not talking
(32:23):
about messing around in the biblical sense, we're talking about
messing around in the New Girls sense, where CC and
Winston just do weird stuff, right, they're their only little
inside jokes, And that could have been the first one. Um,
here's the big question from this episode was Yeah, the
(32:43):
first one. I feel like the big question was, because
this is the Nick Jest storyline, was can men and
women just be friends or at some point in the
friendship does one party or the other think about what
it would be like to be with them or sleep
with them? Right? So this I did think this. I
(33:08):
did think the storylines in this episode were very funny.
I like them, and I remember this was for me. Um,
this was a big Nick Jess episode, um, because there
was a It was kind of the first time we
established like where it said out loud and Cec I
(33:28):
like that. Cecy is the one who says it, like,
I think Nick likes you, and then she gets it
in Jess's head and of course Jess reacts in a
really weird, awkward, uncomfortable way. Um but yeah, I laughed
out loud at a lot of the foot, but the feet,
because it's kind of how it happened. Somebody puts something
(33:52):
in your head and then you're like out of my head,
and then it's really difficult because somehow everything in your
environment then somehow confirms the thing that you're trying to
get out of your head. And I feel like that
happens a lot in life. So I thought it was
a funny. It was a funny storyline. I feel like,
even though it's exaggerated for a comedy, like, there is
(34:15):
so much truth though about how body language is analyzed
to figure out if someone is into you, right, like
if someone sits back and crosses their arms and you're
on a date with them the entire time, versus if
they like lean forward and and are kind of like engaging.
People dissect that stuff. So, but people also do those
like postures. I feel like to try to look cool.
(34:38):
That's that's what I do. I put if you guys
can't see what's always doing, She's putting her arm on
the back of the chain back. I do that constantly.
One because I have very fresh under arms. Okay, so
I'm allowing the room to one feel those and and
since those phaeromones, but also that whatever scent that I'm
wearing for that day, I'm just given out nothing but love.
(35:02):
And so that's how I get the attention. I lean
back like this and one that's the bicep, So that's flexing.
That's letting her know, Hey, I'm just chilling ing you
to read, though, is uninterested if you're like so casually
laid back and she's telling like a story, like at
some point, I'm sure if you were into the girl,
you would. I'm sure that's what Gavin the DJ did,
(35:24):
and I'm sure you know what I mean, Like you can.
I think there's there's Well, it also depends because there's
multiple ways. You if you're if you're two forward, if
you're if you show too much interest, the other person
may retreat. If two people are yeah, you're like, well
that's a that's if I talk to this person, we
are for sure going to be in a committed relationship
(35:46):
because this person is putting all their cards on the table.
I'm so interested in you. If it's the other way around,
if everyone's just relaxed and you see where it goes.
People who on the first day or like should we
talk about kids? Yeah, loved them about we order first?
So en, do you think that men and women can
be friends? Yes, I have, I have with all you
(36:09):
thought across all your friends, lamarens friends like he has
like so many friends, and I would say a lot
of them are women. Am I correct? Ever crossed your
mind early when you first met that girl who's now
your friend and all those women that are girl friends.
So like, let's be let's tread delicately here, I feel
(36:31):
like than us. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yes, it happens.
It comes across your mind at some point, you know,
in the beginning, usually usually the beginning, because as a
as a it's a quick thing. It's more like no,
all right, once you established, once you established a boundary
(36:54):
and friendship, it just moves in a completely different direction, right,
And I think, I um, work is different. I think
I think work is different because automatically you're going into
a work situation like Nope, that's not that's not what
I'm doing. Unless you never know it happens with people.
But I'm saying in regular friendships and regular I'm saying,
good regular friendships. You know, it's it may happen. But
(37:19):
I have friends that I am that I that are
women folk and you know, never never crossed my mind
some of them, you know what I mean, But not
even in the beginning, not a thought. It's hard to say.
It's it's hard to say yes because I've been friends
with some of these people for so long. Um, I'm sure,
(37:40):
I'm sure it's crossed their mind with me. And that's
and that's not their fault again, pha Amont, it's because
of the posture, because thank you for saying so again,
Calm down. Sorry, sorry, sorry, It doesn't remind me that
(38:00):
when I was in high school, there was like a
guy that all the girls liked, and I walked past
him in the hallway one time and he said he
like did that like head nod? And he went what's up?
And at the time I was like fourteen, and I
didn't know what you say to what's up? I was like,
what do you say? And I hadn't even thought about
(38:20):
it and thought, you know, sometimes people say what's up? Um,
what do I say back when somebody says that? So
I remember him going, um, what's up? And I was like, Hi, Hi,
and forever more. And I was like, that was so stupid.
(38:40):
And then like for a couple of weeks, like my
friends and I talked about what you say when you
get a quick head, what's up? Not much? Or yeah
or or or um or you can say what's up?
Back right, you go? You know what's up? What's up?
(39:03):
You could do that. That's what I decided. I don't
know that was did you end up dating this guy? No,
you come back tomorrow? Hey? Um? That guy remembers that
moment as do you know? There was this one time
I said what's up to Zoe Daanel And it didn't
(39:26):
seem like she was interested in It's burn in his
memory too. I was very I was very shy in
high school, you guys. I was not shy on stage
because I was like a theater kid and I would
be in all the musicals and stuff. But I was
very shy, like, um, that was it? What I mean?
I wasn't we could call a nerd. I was in
a lot of clubs. I started multiple clubs, started the clubs.
(39:51):
Yeah yeah, because I was in all these clubs and
then there was no Philosophy club and I had to
start it and there was no fact, shun't club. So
I started the Fashion Club and the Philosophy Club. And
so this is actually funny. We had the same faculty
advisor for both of them, and the yearbook STAF got confused,
and then we took a picture of the Philosophy Club
(40:12):
and they put it as the Fashion Philosophers and I
was like, no, the Fashion Club was just two of us.
It was just me and one of my girlfriends and um,
and that was the Fashion Club. And it was basically
like us just sitting at lunch in a classroom looking
at Vogue and um and like you know Paris fashion magazines. UM.
(40:32):
So yeah, the Fashion Club and the and the Philosophy
Club accidentally got combined. Speaking of Fashion Club, let's go
to a commercial break so we can talk about all
the things that Zoe wearsco. I will say this because
(40:58):
this is related to New Wrong. We haven't talked about
this yet, and I hope we have, UM Deborah McGuire
on UM to talk about costumes. I love shopping, I
love costumes. I love sewing. That was another nerdy thing
I did in high school. I sewed my own clothes.
I didn't have a sewing club. Because I actually didn't
know anyone else who sewed. I took pattern making, I
(41:19):
took sewing. Glasses is going to be hand stitched by sewing.
That's not true, but now, um but um um. I
loved working with Deborah and I for all, like pretty
much the first season, I went with her. We went
(41:41):
shopping together for a lot of vintage clothes for Jess
and I like the first season, like establishing Jess's you
know style. I was with them shopping for all of it.
So that was really a fun part of greeting this character.
I have to say. The one last thing I would
say about this episode, which I I remembered so clearly too,
(42:06):
is that there's this moment where Schmitt and CC hold hands,
which is really sweet. But I remember for that shot
they brought in a crane to get that overhead shot,
which I feel like in later years they would have
just had Polly or Casey like stand on top of
us and like straggle over our hands and been like,
(42:27):
we got it, it's fine, we'll make it work. But
they brought in a crane, and for me, I had
never shot anything that had something that fancy. It felt
like for this really sweet moment of just a close
up on our hands, um, and that signified to me.
I was like, why are they're going to all of
these lengths? This is not just like a joke of
(42:48):
Schmitt and CC being a little drunk and having like
a funny episode moment. I think this is actually going
to turn into like a relationship arc at some point. No,
I didn't. I was so scared. That's nothing scared me.
I was like looking at my nails, being like hands,
(43:11):
I did look at a true I'm just gonna say
that was a joke posted on your hand, very pretty hands.
Thank you. That's why they call you handa pretty hands.
And that's out And that was stupid joke. Okay, but
(43:32):
I remember that moment. There were so many things that
I got established, relationship wise, romantic wise, like they really
kind of opened it up on this episode, which I
really really like, one of the funniest episodes. But also
Nick and Jess and Schmitt and c C and then
the first Winston CC mess around all their folks. They're
(43:53):
got to look for it, alright, So time for True American.
Welcome to True American, where the rules change weekly and
you leave more confused than when you showed up. Now
this week we are playing an American prince. In this episode,
(44:17):
we get a glimpse of Schmidt's romantic side. Today, we're
gonna remember other great American princes by guessing what movie
they appeared in based on their most romantic line. Are
you guys ready to play? Ready? I'm ready? Okay? The
first line when you realize you want to spend the
rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest
(44:39):
of your life to start as soon as possible. Yeah,
is that is that correct? Oh? See, I don't see.
See I shouldn't have picked this guy because I don't
know any of these answers. So we talked about it
this episode, so it was front of mine. But I
was like, I know that's from something I don't remember
what they're years eve party. I'm about this one. So
(45:04):
it's not going to be easy. It's gonna be really hard,
and we're gonna have to work at this every day.
But I want to do that because I won't you.
I want all of you forever, you and me every day.
I'm so intense. I know, I don't even know if
it was delivered that way in the movie. I hope
(45:26):
I don't know. I'm not gonna be good at this.
I'm this doesn't get you A happy actor is Ryan Gosling?
Ok Yeah, we're like there's one romantic movie the rest
of them. I have a dark side. We're going with
that one. Um. Okay, here we go, next one. Okay, sorry,
(45:47):
wait what happened? Are you okay? No? Well I have yes,
I am, I'm fine. I just saw on this, like,
so we have a print out of what these quotes
are and the more's reading them, and I literally just
saw the first two words of this one and it's
from my favorite movie of all time ever period And
just even seeing that this is going to be said
on our podcast just gave me that reaction. Okay, so
(46:09):
this must be so this must be from Pooty Tang. Okay,
first line, No, um, I love you not like they
told you. Love is. And I didn't know this either,
But love don't make things nice. It ruins everything, It
breaks your heart, it makes things amiss. We aren't here
(46:31):
to make things perfect. The snow flakes are perfect, the
stars are perfect. Not us. Not us. We are here
to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love
the wrong people and die. It's not I know that, Hannah.
(46:52):
You want to tell us so excited? No, Nicholas Cage
says this to share in moonst oh Moons, and he goes, now,
get in my bed. It's very aggressive. Yeah, he says that,
I do know what the next quote is from, and
it's very on brand. So let's just say it and
(47:13):
let me guess because I know what it is. Okay,
you want to say it. You say you want to
say that, you want to read the Look, all right,
what do you want? You want the moon? Just say
the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and
pull it down. Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll
give you the moon. That is from It's a wonderful
(47:34):
you know about Bible, It's a wonderful life. And that's
Jimmy Stewart. I wouldn't have known that. You wouldn't know.
I watched it. I watched every Christmas Moon. You say
the word and I'll throw it a lasso around it.
Didn't pull it down, is how he sounds. Pretty much. Yeah,
it's really good. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give
you the moon. Okay. This next one is a classic.
(47:57):
I haven't even looked at it, well, I knew how
to quit you. Oh, that's Broke Back Mountain. That's got
to be Broke Back Mountain. I haven't seen the movie,
but I know Niccolas Cage takes up a lot of
space and like the romcom area in my head because
of you just love Nicolas Cage. I just love that movie.
So and Nicolas Cage will also be a guest on
this show episode where right our butts can't cash. But
(48:24):
Nicholas Cage is going to be a guest on the show.

girl ladies and gentlemen. That was another edition of True
American and the score is one to one one. We
