Speaker 1 (00:03):
Ring ring ring ring. May I please speak with Zoe?
Oh hello, La More, let's patch in Hannah. God, I
forgot what it was like working with you guys. Oh

(00:28):
my gosh, you guys. Hi, what's up? Players? So happy
to see you. I know I'm sitting here on my
death bed and I apologize my voice, your radio voice
so much shown good. Why don't you do the in
because hello? Hello, hello friends, and welcome to our show.

(00:56):
I'm Zoe Deschanelle. I'm also handsome, and I'm all soult
More and Morris. This is the show when we discuss
New Girl and all things New Girl related. Sometimes we
may have a guess, sometimes we won't. Sometimes we'll just
talk about pregnancy. Who knows? Ye? Are you pregnantly? I
am with child right now currently at least that's what

(01:19):
my belly is saying. Um, but don't worry, I'll get
rid of the soup you guys. Episode I just watched
it and this is one of my favorites. Last time
on New Girl, episode one oh eight, Bad in Bed

(01:39):
just designes it's time to go all the way with Paul.
But it's a first time since a big breakup and
she's nervous about whether or not she can perform. We've
all been there. Schmidt struggles with standing out as the
only guy in an office filled with women. We've all
been there. Desperate to get ahead, Schmidt invited himself to

(02:00):
his boss's baby shop, which is a big no no,
never do that. Meanwhile, Jess and Cecy shot for Sexy Sexy, Sexy,
Sexy lingerie, and she buys a black charcoal starfish number
with way too many straps. She discovers Schmidt's porn folder,
and you had served into a black hole for five
and a half hours. That is absolutely a big no no.

(02:22):
You never go through someone's porn folder. You never know
what you're gonna find. Nick needs a hair cut, and
he's way too afraid to go to a barbershop. He
thinks about cutting his own hair, but a YouTube video
that ended in a bloody guys are quickly changed his mind.
So Winston invites him to a black barbershop, but Nick
knows they'll make fun of him. It's absolutely correct, that's

(02:45):
what we do have black barbershops. We make fun of people. Eventually,
Winston convinced his Nick to go, and he receives a
vanilla ice looking haircut. And for some reason, he absolutely
loves it. Just learned a lot from the porn, and
she came back with a lot of weird kinks. She
tries an old Timmy news voice, Paul does Jimmy Stewart.

(03:07):
This is not a great start. This is something you
don't do. So the date ends poorly, obviously. Meanwhile, Schmidt
is the life of the party. He throws his pregnant
boss into the pool and she loves being treated like
a normal person. Schmidt gets laid that night and it's
a total success for him, you know. Success. Meanwhile, Paul

(03:29):
comes back the following day and Jess apologizes for being scared.
The episode ends with the two of them making love
and and elevator. We've all been there, not back to
the show. I think this is the one that I
turned in for the Emmys that that year, and they
actually switched Max Greenfield and I were nominated for Emmys

(03:52):
this year and that the first season, and they switched
our episode. So actually they submitted my episode for Schmidt
and Schmidt's episode for me, and then then they were like, oops,
we made an error. And then they're like, we sent
the other episodes and we swear everyone watched them and
I was like, guys, because I think the one they

(04:16):
sent for like for me, it was like an episode
that was like super Schmidt like it was all it
was the beach up and I was like, that's the
one I would have picked for like my Emmy turn,
you know. Anyway, So that was fun. Fact. But I
love this episode so much. And Jesse Perette's a good
friend of mine, directed this. He also directed a movie

(04:37):
I did called Our Idiot Brother and many other episodes
of New Girl, and I think, I don't know, this
was just in my opinion, this was the episode where
I feel like I kind of figured out the just
beyond the like pilot Jess, because there was like the
pilot Jess and then just like kind of evolved, um,

(05:02):
and pilot Jess was really like kind of extremely cookie
kind of and then I was I leaned into a
different direction and this is where I kind of settled
on it. And so this episode feels very important to me.
So it's such a standout episode. Josh Malmouth, Oh, Josh

(05:25):
Mallmouth is a total genius about this episode, Yeah, I
think he helped a lot of people find their voice. Yeah,
it's funny when I asked Liz. I remember Liz saying,
I was like, who do you think in the writer's
room writes Jess best? And she was like Josh mallmouth.
I was like really, and she's like, oh, yeah, he's

(05:46):
really good at Jess. Yeah, Josh is awesome. Josh. The
one thing I remember about Josh, kind of like Berkeley,
is his long hair, his long curly hair. Yeah, and
he loves the surf and about five in the morning
drive all the way down to the ocean just to
get his surfing guys. He had a jazz themed bar mitzvah.

(06:08):
It is like my favorite thing I've ever He's lovely,
He's so talented, so talented, and he was there for
the whole run of New Girl. Yeah, the whole run.
He was like he came on as a very young writer,
Like I think he had a you know, a couple
of other credits, but he was he was a young
guy just really starting out and then was like a

(06:32):
senior writer by the end. We got to talk to
Josh for Jesse Perett's did you reach out to him
since I asked him to come and direct. Yeah, I
reached out to Jesse Peyton Miguel Arteta. Yeah, so Peyton
read Jesse Perette's gall Arteta and then probably some others.

(06:55):
But the first season, we had a lot of my
friends come and direct, a lot of people I'd worked
with before, which was very very I mean, these are
all amazing directors, easy to do because you did a
hundred movies before. I know, it was like I almost
retired from movies when I started doing New Girl because
it was like I was just so tired. But by

(07:16):
the time we started and I was kind of like, well,
I've done that. But yeah, I know I had done
a lot of movies because I started when I was
pretty young, so um, yeah, I had a you know,
I had a number of friends that were really talented
directors and I could, you know, luckily reach out to
them and see if they would come on and play.

(07:37):
So it helped with the tone of this, right, I
feel like with our show because then it was like
every episode felt like a mini movie because we had
movie directors, yeah, coming in and doing the first season
of New Girl a lot, and it's always have it's
important to have people you're familiar with directing as well
with in TV, you switch up, you know, each week
could be a different director usually and over and over again.

(08:00):
It's hard to develop that report even though in TV,
you know you have this formula that you follow, but
still as the lead of a show, it's got to
be comforting to know that the person who's giving your
direction as someone you've worked with before. Yeah, because like
a director, So even though a director in TV that's
kind of a different job than a director in movies,

(08:21):
Like it's more all encompassing for a movie because they
have to do all the prep and you know, it's
a lot of world building and they don't need to
do that world building when they're coming on to direct,
you know, an episode of TV. But I mean any
actor will tell you having a director that like jogs
your imagination, that sparked something in you that you know,

(08:43):
lets you play, lets you improvise, you know, gives you
good ideas. That is the difference between you know, a
mediocre performance and a really good performance. So to me,
having those people was such an amazing strength. Um and
I know in this episode, I can tell you spots

(09:04):
where where Jesse let us do weird stuff that wasn't
in the script and um, and it ended up you know,
working and ended up in the final cut, and it
was was, you know it really you know, worked in
our favor that we had, you know, a director that

(09:24):
was doing, you know, kind of like letting us play. Yeah,
he had this very kind of not Maverick energy about him,
but he had a very kind of like guerrilla style
energy to him. And I and it was spoke briefly
and he said I was asking about where he lived,
and he was like, I live in New York. And
I just thought, I just for some reason, I just thought, well, yeah,

(09:45):
of course you just come here and shoot how you
want to shoot. You live in New York, in the
big city. Fancy son of a bit being so cool.
I was like, Oh, this dude is cool. He's cool
that Did you ever see this movie that that Jesse
did Maybe you guys have, maybe you haven't. It was
a little movie that I love. It's called The Chateau

(10:05):
starring Paul Rudd and Romney Malco and they play brothers
who go to France to um collect a chateau that
um was left to them and you know, by some
distant relative. It is such a funny movie. Everybody, run,
don't walk this local video store. Here's my pitch. Don't

(10:30):
walk to Jesse to come off. Asked Jesse if he
wants to do a remake where you and I can
play adopted sisters. Yeah, Ron malcod or adopted siblings the
chateau and you play the chateau. Well, it's the castle

(10:52):
when your name is chateau. The thing I love about
that movie is that um Romney Malco plays like this
super smooth guy, and um Paul Rodd please the biggest nerd.
And oh and I forgot the most important part is
that it's all improvised, entirely improvised, improvised, and guys watch

(11:17):
it seriously. It's so good. Um, we want to do
a remake. This is official. I'll send in the tape,
sing the tape as the chateau. Yeahau, I'll send in
the tape. I'm not that's not beneath me. Um. So
let's let's look bad in Bed. First of all, title

(11:39):
already funny, Yes, bad in Bed? Um. I thought you know,
we were talking a lot about the performance. Um, your
performance in this, which I thought was was fantastic and
so funny. Um. Also, hold up one second. Sorry, I
don't mean to interrupt, but I just need to say this, sorry,

(12:00):
looked incredible. Thank you. I just want to say looked
incredible because I know the feeling when it's like and
now all your cloths are off to be funny very
last minute, they're like, oh, yeah, you're gonna be in
your underweard next episode. And I was like, yeah, I
was a gentleman. I did not look just like this

(12:22):
on my hands over my eyes. Yeah. I only looked
at Justin Long's boy body and he just as long
as shredded though it's long, is in shape. You guys
look great together. Um there's basically kept all of his
clothes on though too. Like he was like, I don't
think I saw just a long his body, but you

(12:43):
looked amazing. How long did it take to put that
cage over your body? It was confusing? I remember, so
I remember we had like there's a lot about the costume.
Like also, my hair changed in this episode for the better,
because I think we sided on one hair and one
set of glasses for like the first however many episodes.

(13:04):
And I was finally like, can we just do like
different hair? I don't. I wasn't that into the other hair.
And then I was like, can we just like have
the glasses that are like basically the glasses I wear.
And we kind of changed around this time, but I
remember what the costumes we were like. I was like,
I just want to be wearing regular cotton underwear and
then have the starfish thing over it, like to kind

(13:25):
of have a contrast. But it was really hard to
like find the headhole, like, it's not, it's not. It
wasn't easy, but Deborah McGuire really knocked it out of
the park, like coming up with this fun fact about
that particular costume that was directly from Deborah McGuire's personal collection.

(13:51):
That is not true Foxy Lady, that's true, but it's
a fun It wasn't part of it wasn't. She is
a Foxy Lady, but it's not a part of her
personal collection that I know of. Okay, um, that's what
I imagine. So so okay, So the other storylines other

(14:15):
than Baden bed In Baden bed are Nick doesn't want
to get hair and so he goes to your barbershop.
He goes from my barbershop. Now, this is a this
is funny. This is an interesting thing because I believe
Jake pitched this idea to list Jake had told me.
When Jake and I first met, we were just kind

(14:37):
of bonding over Chicago stuff and who we were and
you know, what we were into and childhoods and all
all those kinds of things. And Jake tells a story
about his first time at a black barbershop. Now, I
reached out to Jake and I said, hey, Jake, do
I have permission to to retell your story or you

(15:00):
can send me a voice note and I'll play on
the show. And Jake's response to me it was very clear.
He said, you have every bit he goes. His words were,
you can do it yourself. I'm not gonna jog your memory.
You have to just tell the story the way you
remember it, and then when I come on this show,

(15:21):
I'll correct any It's a point of view, isn't it. Yes,
So if you guys will allow me at sixty seconds
tell the story the way. Remember, I wish we had
a Jeopardy clock right now. So, so, if you guys
are familiar with this episode, Jake goes to a black barbershop,

(15:42):
especially the you see you see the reveal towards the
middle of the episode, and then at the end of
the episode when he's in the black barbershop. For those
who aren't familiar with how black barbershops operate, they're kind
of like it's more than a barbershop. It's like therapy
for black dudes, right, because we don't believe in actual therapists.
It's just something that has spanned our culture. We just

(16:07):
if it ain't Jesus or barber, we ain't fixing it.
So in this particular episode, this is exactly where uh
Nick Miller finds himself. Um and again he wouldn't give
me a refresher. So this is kind of how I
remember the story here goes. Jake was a curious kid.
He was troubled, but but curious. He would watch tons

(16:32):
of BT you know, rap videos and living single things
like that, and Jake he wanted to be like the
black people. That was his thing, you guys know, Jake
Jake thought, man, these folks got it figured out. He
wasn't secure and still till this day with who he is,
Jake Johnson still hasn't identified with his own person right now.

(16:55):
At that time, Jake had a long ponytail. I'm not
sure if you guys have seen the photos like onto
his butt cheeks very nineties West like Midwest meth chic,
Like he looked like one of those if you guys
are from the Midwest, y'all out there, y'all know what
I'm talking about. So Jake's mom she worked in a
black neighborhood. She owned a furniture store, uh like knick Knack's,

(17:17):
household goods, that kind of stuff. And it was next
to a black barbershop. So Jake's mom she bartered with
the owner and said, now this is this part. I
I still remember this. She said, I will give you
this cassio keyboard for free, and then you could go
use it to make beats or do whatever you want
to do. Is kind of like that scene from Hustle
and Flow. She was a strange mom. I'm not sure

(17:38):
why she saw that movie. Um, but it's she says,
it's yours if you if you cut my son's hair
right now. The police have been showing up at the
house constantly saying Jake's fit the description of of of
a meth head that's been going around stealing shipped from
people's houses and stuff like that, and and she said,
can you please go ahead and cut my son's hair?
So Jake goes into the shop and immediately he's home.

(18:01):
He's talking to language, he's fitting right in, and so
they asked him what cut he wants, and the guy
mumbles it and he goes and then Jake, trying to
be cool, decides, yes, I'll take one of those. Keep
this in mind, Jake just wanted a trim, right. He
wanted to go from like like nineties meth Head too,

(18:25):
I don't know, like door to door VCR salesman. So
he just wanted to like, he just wanted to like
shoulder lengths something. So when Jake nodded to this guy
to confirm what he had heard, the guy ended up
giving Jake the exact same haircut that you see in
the episode. So Jake went from nineties meth Head to

(18:45):
vanilla ice and that is exactly where this storyline came from.
Oh my god, that is hilarious. I'm gonna go with
the ouristic license and that story. I do remember that
that his mom had bartered with the barbershop next door,

(19:08):
but that's the only part of that story I remember.
Yet he probably went to greater detail with you, since
you guys are both Chicago guy, because somebody was stealing
copper pipes in the neighborhood and they would sell him.
That's what crack kids would do, and Jake fit the description,
so they thought he was one of the people doing
it based off of his hair. That's like the best,

(19:32):
like the most hilarious racket, right, people steal copper pipes.
That's weird. Heard that. I was so confused. I was
so lost by that. How they got their hands on them,
I don't know, yeah, or even how people in that
state figured out they're valuable, Like, it's just it's amazing.
The thing I loved about that storyline the most and

(19:54):
related to so hard is that the root of it
is that he's just terrified of small talk like this,
the paralyzing fear of small talk, which I have as well.
Oh yeah, yeah, I have that. I have that when
I'm on a plane. I don't like talking to the
person I'm sitting next to on the plane, which is

(20:14):
why we're talking about like dinner parties where you don't
know a lot of people. We've talked about this before,
like freaks me out because I'm just like one on
the one on a plane. Yeah, not on a plane.
I don't really want to talk on planes just because
I it's like loud and everything, but it doesn't love
talking like yeah, you're like oh. And then it's like

(20:39):
when we were flying, like I don't know, on a
long haul or something, it's like, now we've got to
maintain this potentially for ten hours. Yeah. Like not. I
prefer like if somebody says something to me in the
last four minutes of the flight and nice to me.
I had a guy recently on the plane decide that
he just started to telling me he was drunk, clearly

(21:01):
that he was moving to l A. He works for Apple,
but he's quitting his his high paying job to move
to l A to become a TikToker. This man was
in his thirties. Yeah, and he kept he kept pulling
up different hotels on his phone, saying, is this a
good hotel for me to stay in? Is this in

(21:21):
the scene? Is this in the mix? And I was like,
I don't know, man, I don't know, man. I have
a home. I don't stay in hotels alone. Man, And
he just kept saying. He was like, are you in entertainment?
I was like somewhat, and he goes, I got connections
if you what he kept and I didn't I ever
told him what I did, but he just kept saying,
I got connections, man, like my friend's dad created Dexter.
He kept saying that. I was like cool man my

(21:46):
friend's dad. And then after the flight, he was like, dude,
you're thirty. Did he offered me ride home, which clearly
did not need one, and he insisted, and he kept
saying and Tolley, it's good to take this ride. It's
my to my friend whose dad created Next he's the
one picking me up, so you might want to take
this right. Don't offer me a right like somebody else's. Yeah,

(22:09):
that's what a girl would think if someone killer. That's right,
he's a serial killers were dropped. And funny story, this
guy got away with the whole the whole flight. Well, no,
because you know there's the mask mandate on the plane.
He clearly didn't get the memo like he was just
kicking it. He was just talking and I was like, hey, man,

(22:32):
I don't want to be that dude, bro, but you
are in my face. I was like, you know, I'm
sure you're fine whatever. I love the mask mandate a plane.
You guys like I I have gotten sick, like on
flights before. Have you gotten a cold on a flight
all the time? Oh my god, Like one time, my
whole holidays were ruined because some woman sat next to me.

(22:55):
It was like Southwest where they just like picked the
seat and I got the seat and I was like, oh,
nobody's next to me. Then they came and they were
like like coughing, coughing, coughing, and then she's like, it's
just allergies. And I was like, it's not allergies. And
then I was like sick the entire rest of my
my holiday break. And I'm like, you know, I'm like
so happy to wear that mask. For those who out

(23:16):
there who are confused, Zoe was on a Southwest flight once,
But normally it's true. I don't normal real obsession. I
don't private. You probably flowing private more than I have.
I do, want to say the only the first time
I was the first time, but I think the second

(23:36):
time I flew private was to go watch you perform.
I want to say, oh at the at the Super
Bowl Sorr, I was like Super Bowls like for when, yeah,
no nobody sings that? Do people sing the national anthem
at this I've never watched the Super never forget that flight,
because I remember we came back and shot the Christmas episode.

(24:02):
Oh yeah, I remember that because it was when they
sprung on me that you're going to do like a
photo shoot during the episode of you're the after of
like a diet pill or something, so you're gonna be
in a like a bikini or whatever. And the whole
time there was so much like Super Delicious, and I

(24:26):
was like trying to be here like Monday morning, I'm
gonna be I just remember that tortured. I had the
same thing, but in a different way. That so when
I sing, I have to be very careful. And I
know a lot of singers don't know a lot of
singers can like party, drink, like eat a lot, whatever,
But when I sang, I basically have to be super disciplined.

(24:46):
Otherwise my voice isn't like what it should be. So
you guys got there and everybody's like, yeah, we're all
going out, and I'm like, no, I'm gonna be going
to sleep at eight. Remember y in a strip club?
I think where were we were in Dallas or something
in Dallas. Yeah, yeah, Jake looking for me somewhere. I

(25:10):
think I remember they sat as right down um basically
on the field, and with these incredible seats, we had
actually watched the game and it was really amazing. And
then halfway through they were like, we have a box.
We have a box. We have box, we have a box.
And then there were the cheese in the box, and
I was like, where's the cheese. I love cheese. And

(25:30):
so they moved us up, and I remember Jake being
so mad because now you're up there and you have
to like mingle with everybody who has kindly brought you
out there. But he was like, we just had the
best seats to watch the World Series, and now I'm
all the way up here. But I also remember but
I also think I remember part of that. Joe Buckner

(25:52):
he decided to call us out and say that we left.
He was like, some fancy Hollywood people just we left
the game. We had camera panned over, and he's like,
and the cast of Super all and the band over
in the Rampty seats. Nobody said that they were, but
like we were hungry and we were still watching the game.
And I like baseball. I grew up watching baseball. So

(26:13):
even though I called it the Super Bowl, it's only
because I have mom braind you guys. I know it's
the World Series and I sang at the World Series twice.
Um the next year, no, thank you, m M. I
sang the second year, but they, like you guys didn't

(26:33):
come with us, and so it was not as exciting
or fun. Yeah. Um, you're right. We did get called
out and we were all like so mad about it
because we were eating cheese and to move upstairs. Speaking
of speaking of Super Bowl, the Bears Bears, Let's let's
rewind for a second Hannah Hunt for the Bear, Hunt

(26:55):
for the Bear. Yeah, I hunted hunted for the bear
and I could not find one in this episode. So
I'm writing this down. So when Liz Maryweather comes on
the show at the end of this season, UM, I'm
asking her about it, and I'm actually I'm gonna text

(27:17):
Malmouth too, um to find out because I could not
find it and of course and I went into my
deep dive online, nobody's found it. Can I say there
was like something that I did and I remember doing
it and it was one d percent Liz Meryweather, Um
genius that she is. Um. There you know in this

(27:39):
episode where I'm like naming like sex positions and I'm like,
there's this and there's one where I'm like this. I
remember Liz being like, just do this, like the floppy
handshaky sorry those of yeah, floppy handshaky thing was like
Liz going just do this, and I'm like, oh, that's

(27:59):
one represent Liz um anyway, Yeah, you've seen it before.
But before I want to also mention Schmidt's storyline is
so great in this episode. Yes, yes, Mikayla Watkins Murray,
they are just fantastic and oh my god, Max is

(28:21):
so funny. So I didn't a thing too about our
show that the Schmidt office where he works is actually
what the New Girl offices were. Yeah, that's where all
the writers were, the producers were, That's where all the
magic was made, and that's they would repurpose it and
just shoot Schmidt's office there. Yep, yes, indeed. Now have

(28:43):
you guys ever been to a baby shower where there's
just one dude there and you're like, what one dude
would be interesting? Just one I you know, I do
like a baby shower at night. That's like normal, and
it's not just women because the traditional ones. I think
it was because my mom would throw baby showers like

(29:06):
every weekend when I was a kid, and she'd be like,
I'm having a baby shower here, and I'd be like,
count me out, peace, because it would always be like
it would always be like a tea party and we
would have to measure the belly with a toilet paper
or something, and people would guess, like how the terrible circumference? Yeah,

(29:29):
and I get that that. I get it was super sweet,
Like my mom is. She's great at throwing parties, don't
get me wrong, and she throws a lovely party. I
think it was just that there were so many of
them that the novelty had worn off by the one
and um, and so I was just you know, kind
of you know, I mean, I'm not going to say traumatized,

(29:52):
but I was. I was. I was fatigued. Fatigued. Yeah.
So like now and I have friends that are pregnant
and having baby showers, I'm very happy when they have
a nighttime one that is normal with alcohol and and boys.

(30:13):
They wrote her character, Michaela's character so well because I
feel like that very overly precious pregnant woman kind of
stereotype has been played out and the idea that she
was just like over it wanted to have a good time.
She wanted to feel like herself. She wanted everyone else
to have a good time. And that weird like moment

(30:35):
of her getting like shoved in the pool yeah um
by Schmidt and then her reaction to it, it just
felt like so fresh and funny, and she played it
so perfectly. I love the line where she's like, I
hate how everyone's She's like, everyone's being so delicate with me.
I'm not a box of crackers, Like I remember feeling

(30:56):
that when I was pregnant. That like I remember going
to get pregnanty massages and it's basically like somebody like
like lately caressing you with a feather and You're like, no,
please give me a massage, Like that's kind of what
I'm here for and if you just crass me tell you.

(31:18):
It's also funny because Ava Murray is like one of
the nicest people. Oh yeah, ever was Michaela. And they
get to play these like real strong, bitchy women, which
I love Ava's character on this too. She is so funny.
Have you guys ever been pushed in a pool while
pregnant not pregnant, I've definitely jumped in pools many times

(31:40):
in my clothes, like yeah, yeah, just just it. I
remember my friend's wedding, uh, not that long ago. I
was just bored. So um one of my other friends
jumped in the pool in his clothes and I was like, okay, bye. Yeah.
And then in high school I used to do that

(32:00):
because I didn't really drink. I mean, I don't really
drink that much without having alcohol in yeah, I mean
not like maybe a little bit of alcohol, like a
I don't like to drink like hard liquor or anything.
So I would drink like maybe a glass of wine
or glass of champagne, but like not more than that. Yeah.
And then you know, so in high school, I wouldn't
really drink, and then I'd just be bored because everybody

(32:21):
else would be drunk, and I would just jump in
the pool. That's fun. Yeah. I couldn't do that. I
could barely swim. I mean I could swim. No, I
can swim now. But I'm not I'm not Michael Phelps
any stretch of the imagine. I am also not Michael Phelps.

(32:42):
I was on swim team in middle school, But that
does Michael Phelps. That does not make me anyway. I

(33:03):
want to tell you guys something crazy and weird that
I found out about this episode. So I the only
scene I'm in in this episode is that lingerie scene
where you buy the starfish contraction and you're very funny.
Um I. So anyway, I remember I had a lot

(33:24):
of time off this first season, and I went on
these really big deep dives into obscure, strange documentaries that
I would watch. And there's a documentary called Confessions of
a Superhero um and it basically is a documentary that
talks about the people that dress up in like the

(33:46):
Superman or Batman costumes on Hollywood Boulevard. Mm hmmm. And
it's a quite dark, sad, strange documentary. You learn a
lot of things would not expect about what the real
lives of those people are. And so after I watched it,

(34:06):
I was a little disturbed, and I googled all of
the people because they have their names up there, and
I was now just deep diving stocking um online. The
girl who was wonder Woman in this documentary, who was
on Hollywood Boilevard taking pictures and she has it's crazy

(34:28):
her life is documented in this crazy way. Is the
girl that's the lingerie store clerk. Oh she was good.
She was really good. Yeah, she's sorry health code. That's right,
that's exactly that was her line. But it was such
a strange thing because you're watching this documentary that's really intimate,

(34:50):
very dark, very personal, Like they really went there with
every single person that they were following in the documentary,
and I was like, this girls life story is intense.
And then to find out in the Google that we
met her and also with her, um, Hannah, this is

(35:12):
one of your late night um that's right documents. You know,
Like Hanna would come to work and be like I
watched an entire season of the show, and I'm like,
how are you doing this? We had to be at
work at six am my, especially the first thirteen like

(35:32):
episodes of New Girls season one, I had a much
lighter schedule so I could kind of you were in
different countries too. You were like, yeah, you were doing
international traveling. Anyway, I recommend watching the documentary, but it
was no. It's called her name is Jennifer Wanger as

(35:55):
the actress Confessions of a Superhero and it came out
two thousands seven, so she had done all of that
and it kind of made me feel happy because obviously
we know we shot that in two thousand and so
I was like, oh, that's great because obviously she's now
working and booking gigs. Just kind of interesting to know

(36:16):
the kind of trajectory of her career. So in in
in this episode, you know, there's a lot of a
lot of sex talk, a lot of just trying to
figure it out. You know, what's appropriate, what's not appropriate?
Am I good enough? Am I not good enough? Um?
If you had fifteen minutes to help someone be better
at sex, what advice would you give them? Why don't

(36:39):
you start? Oh gosh, really start, You get start, and
we have to probably beat the rest out my guest. Okay, here,
here's the secret to be to becoming better at sex.
Always always get yours first. It's it's because because you

(37:04):
had a good time, the sex was correct to you,
the sex was fantastic, it was it was you. You know.
Then you then it's like when a plane is like
the turbulence is happening in the oxygen masks come down.
You've got to put the mask on yourself first before
you can help others. But what if both people have
that point of view? Now, what when you have a race. Yeah,

(37:27):
then you both. You both had fun, both both. You're
just looking out for you. You gotta look out for
yourself because it's not my job to make you happy.
Then do you need somebody else there at that point?
Do you need someone else some of the best sex
at that point, I've been alone. So I just put
it out there, folks. Nobody, nobody knows me the way

(37:50):
I know myself. I think we have different points of
view slightly. There's a line in this episode which it says,
it's like a I think you say, it's so like
it's a job interview with like the weirdest Yeah, we're
just interview. Ever, that's kind of I guess is the
first time you're with somebody, you're just getting to know

(38:10):
each other. You're like and then there's that that's how
that works. And now we all know that about little
more and he's just gonna go off by himself. He's like,
I'll be back. I always sleep well at the end
of the day. The end of the day, I am
out like a light. And your body heals when it's sleeping,

(38:32):
And I think that's important to get. What's funny about
this episode two is that Nick actually has I think,
great advice and he's trying to give it and jests
just does not want to hear, and I'm like, I'm
listening to a little more. I mean right. It's also

(38:54):
interesting there's a whole storyline basically about like porn trauma.
Oh yeah, goes in the porn hole. You So you
you figure this out by looking at Schmidt's computer? Is that?
Do you? Guys just leave your laptop just open? You do? Yeah?
But I don't have a porn folder in my lap

(39:16):
topic any folder. I think it's just free in its
out if you're still saving porn, I don't. Yeah, you
can use my computer anytime you want. Yeah, you can
use my computer. So you leave your computer wide open?
You don't, I take it? No? Is this other stuff
that's I'm like, people all need to be looking at.

(39:39):
I mean, I'm not going to let like a stranger
use it, but I let one of my friends use it.
You're at an internet cafe, no way already wrong? Okay, okay,
internet cafe anymore? That's it's very like nineties zero cafe. Yes,

(40:01):
So in this in this episode, I know there's a
lot of the Schmidt Winston Nick they're talking about who
you know, who's the best at it? Who is the expert?
Who would you guys say, would actually be the sexpert
in the loft, like the actor, the real person or
the character the character, the character the character. I don't know.

(40:24):
It's really hard to say. They're all such. I would
to find the partners that makes sense for them, because
that's really what it is. Yeah, that girl who walked
out of Schmidt's room, she didn't look sad, she looked fine.
So he found somebody that was like vibing with what
he wanted to do. That's what it is, right, chemistry communicate.

(40:47):
That's the other line of this episode. I was crying.
It was the rescue Strandon miners communicating with each other.
You okay, are you? Oh? Yeah, that was so funny.
That's so funny. I don't know that was Mama's joke,
but it was really funny. To write down a lot

(41:10):
of jokes too. That sounds like something Max would have. Oh,
I'm pretty sure Malma wrote that. I remember that in
the scripts. Yeah, but I mean obviously writes down lots
of jokes that are good. Um. I think um. I
wanted to say one thing that the voices. It was
really nice to have Justin Long because Justin Long is
very like, he's just like a fun actor to like,

(41:33):
you know, kind of like improvised with, and he always
has lots of ideas and we just were running our
lines before we shot that scene, and I remember we
were just doing different voices and there was the newscaster
kind of was in there, but like none of the
other voices really were in there. Maybe the lumberjack part,

(41:55):
but um, but we both kind of started improvising weird
voices and it was really Yeah, I was like, I
just didded doing something weird. I don't know even what
I was doing. That was my favorite one. It was
like an old lady and um, and then he laughed

(42:17):
and then I was like laughing at his Jimmy store.
And then it was like whatever made the other one,
you know, like people giggle. And then it was just
such a fun like it was just a fun thing
to play around with on that. You know, it's a
fun turn in there too, where you think, oh, they're
just gonna then end up having some very traditional sweet

(42:38):
like consummation of their things and they end up having
elevator sex, which is pretty bold yeah, the elevator sex
is bold. I also I also like the turn in
that was you know in the script, but um in
there where they he's like, let's just calm down, let's
just come down, and she's like okay, okay. Yeah. I

(43:03):
was like, I totally forgot about that whole part. I
was like, choking was very funny his trauma response to
it when you just try to talk about it later.
The for the folks out there who are listening to
this episode, uh, don't have elevator sex. We're not. We're
not encouraging it. It's disgusting, it's it's dirty. There's a

(43:26):
million people don't the elevator. People need that elevator. You
know what I mean something the elevator. Just go go home,
go to a hotel, go to rest stop, go wherever
is you go arrest stop. That's your hygienic alternative. Go
wherever it is you're going to go. Just arrest stop

(43:46):
because to get that either. I also I admired the
restraint to not play love and elevator. Isn't that what
that song is? There's a song called oh my gosh,
I don't so do you know what I'm talking about?
I don't know it. It's like a C D C

(44:09):
or something. Steven Tyler is an Aerosmith song, giving it
up while you're going down? Should we stop for a
commercial break after fifty six minutes this playing that song?
Let's stop for a commercial break. Oh my god, let's
listen to some of this elevator music. Welcome. All right,

(44:43):
we're back you guys. We're going to play True American.
Welcome to True American, where the rules changed weekly and
you leave more confused than when you showed up. This week,
we're playing Rosalind Franklin's Mix and Match. So in this

(45:03):
week's episode, attends his boss's baby shower or his boss
baby shower, I don't know. So we're playing a classic
baby shower game. Our producer has given us five photos
produced by Morphy underscore Me on Instagram. Each photo photo
shows two faces smashed together, and we have to distinguish

(45:25):
which two celebrities make up the individual in the images.
So I actually, I think I'm gonna be good at this.
I can Yeah, I already know. I feel like I
know the first one. Let's describe it first. So it's
a beautiful woman with high cheekbones, hazel eyes, hair, beautiful

(45:46):
like cherubic lips, and perfect face. Um, I'm gonna say
this is Scarlett Johansson and Lady Gaga, both beatiful women's
scar Joe and Gaga. And the next one, I got
this next one too, Okay, yeah, I got it too. Yeah, yeah, yea.
So we have a beautiful brunette. Um, she has like

(46:10):
almond shaped eyes and you know, cute cati makeup, perfect mouth,
perfect nose, cute little freckles. Um, you guys, very caramel
colored tone, caramel skin. I'm gonna go ahead and say,
Zoe Kravitz, Yes, that's my that was my guest. Too

(46:33):
good and beautyful and by the way, these combinations are stunning,
perfect human. Okay, that's what I'm a little confused on
one of these. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could be wrong
about the second half of this one. Okay, wild guest
for the second I have a wild guest one. So
this woman, she she has how do you describe her hair.

(46:55):
It's like in a ponytail. I guess you would say
it's like a deep sigh part low ponytail. Also very
kind of caramel colored skin, green eyes, So she might
be a mixture of a black woman and a white woman.
That's what I'm thinking. She I think she has h
I think it's the woman you stock online all the

(47:16):
time limit it's Beyonce and Margot Robbie. I think I
think it's I was going to get that wrong. I
was gonna say Jamie King. I mean it looks like
that too, yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of like um elfin
kind of. I mean, Margot Robbie and Beyonce is a

(47:39):
it's a beautiful woman, another stunning woman. Favorite. I know
exactly this is. And it's a strange combination because these
two actors don't look anything alike. I know one of them,
it's an actor. He has brown hair, kind of eyes, yeah,

(47:59):
tussle all forehead yeah yeah, high forehead, yeah, the high one.
Like his eyes start at the bottom of the kind
of a distinguished look about him. I think this is
Kian who reeves and Neil Patrick Harris. That's what really,
that's Kanu. I did not Patrick Harris in this right

(48:22):
look at the mouth and just the bottom of the nose,
and that's yeah, that's who it is. Um. And then
the next one, I know, you know what I mean,
it had that vibe to me, Yeah, it does. It
does have a little bit of a Neil Patrick Harris.
That's next. And I know one of them. I don't
know the second. I know both. So this looks like
she looks like such like a nineties kid in this picture. Yes,

(48:44):
this is a beautiful woman. Another beautiful woman with brown
hair and kind of light brown eyes. Um, olive skin,
perfect face again, shaped face, Yeah, young, yeah, very young.
And Millie Bobby Brown. I never would have got that

(49:08):
because she feels like Winona Wryter. Yeah, Winona writer has Yeah, No,
it's it's Millie Bobby Brown and Natalie Portman. She does.
It's the Natalie Portman from like the Professional. Yeah, but
they look alike. They look alike so so actually I
think really true when they look alike, it's harder to
to because this one the first thing I thought, I

(49:28):
know this picture of Natalie Portman, um, and I was like, oh,
it's Natalie Portman. I'm like, who's the other person? Looks
just like Natalie Portman. But um, sweet eleven Millie Bobby Brown, uh,
looks a lot like Natalie Portman. Um. But they make
a beautiful hill. They were playing to American we would
have to take zero drinks because we just crushed that game.

(49:53):
High fives. Guys. You gotta put these pictures up on
a Graham so you guys can take a what we're
looking at? These perfect humans, I know, perfect humans. Even
I wouldn't have known that. Lady Gaga and Scarlett Johansson,
I mean, both beautiful women, but they make such a
pretty mix too. Yeah, yeah that one. That one is

(50:17):
the more flawless one, I think, I think right away
that one blends so yeah, that one and um, Zoey
Kravitz and Zendaya, those two mess like a real I
want Morphee and me to do combinations now, all the
existing combinations of the three of us, the folks, I mean, like,

(50:41):
