Speaker 1 (00:03):
Ring, ring, ring ring, May I please speak with Zoe. Oh, hello, Lamar,
let's patch in, Hannah, God, I forgot what it was
like working with you. Guys. Hi, guys, welcome, welcome to,
(00:31):
welcome to, Welcome to our show. I haven't seen you
a little bit. I know, I know it's been a
way for us, the way that we record these things.
So jumping right in, Yes, let's jump. This is called
bully ye holy on. This week's episode just deals with
(00:54):
a classroom bully Brianna. I don't know how you feel
about Brianna just yet, played by a young Joey King.
You've got to be kidding me now. While she trials
her best to change the tone of the room through song,
Brianna's cutting words get to tender hearted Jess. Y'all know
(01:14):
she's sensitive. Now, in a moment of anger, just breaks
Brianna's science fair project. Now that's something you just don't do.
You don't come for the kids like that. Now, when
she comes clean to the entire school, just expects to
get the hammer. Instead, she's welcome to a sorority of
kid hating teachers. Meanwhile, Nick finds julius gift of a
(01:37):
cactus perplexing. His imagination runs away with him as he
begins viewing the plant as a bad omen for telling
an impending breakup. Is Nick psychic or is the cactus psychic? Now?
While he tries his best to take care of the cactus,
every action destroys it a little bit more. That cactus
(01:58):
was messed up. Y'all was jacked up. Y'all said it
had bandages on all kinds of places. Now panicked, he
leaves Julia seven increasingly erratic voicemails, I'm not gonna lie
to you. I've done it now. When she returns from China,
Julia realizes she doesn't want to be in a relationship
with me, and they break up. Over in Schmidt's room,
(02:20):
Ceci begins a tourret love affair that embarrasses her. She
sneaks in and out of the loft like a damn spy,
makes Schmidt stay in her car while she's at a
party like he's a little dog, cracks the window for
him like he's a little puppy, And finally Ceci mets
that she doesn't like being shown off as a trophy
(02:41):
and worries Schmidt wanted to tell people about their relationships
simply to brag. But our man Schmidt has a confession too.
He's head over Here's for Cecy. Y'all know it's coming next.
He's so in awe of their being together that he
wants to shout his love from the rooftops. She allows
him to tell a waiter and he stands on the
(03:02):
table and he tells the whole damn restaurant. Now back
to the show directed by Dan Addias, is how you? Yes?
I think it's Dan Addis and he he had quite
a pedigree, as I recall that director he interrected like
(03:22):
the wire and stuff like that. I mean, if you
go to his Wikipedia, his list of the list of
shows that this man has uh directed is insane. Their soprano, Um,
you know, here's the funny thing about it, though, so
many shows I'm talking shows from Miami, Vice, the old
(03:44):
school Advice he's directed if you're looking at his Wikipedia. Though,
the one show that's not on the list of shows,
that girl, his new Girl. Well, I fell out of
his It felt like it was not his his thing.
Maybe like he's kind of a drama die right, yes,
(04:05):
but he had done a ton of always funny Oh
really so right at the top of the episode, right
it's Um Schmidt and c C kind of like fall
into frame and then you get that funny scene of
her being disgusted but satisfied. UM And I remember going
into my trailer that morning and there was zero wardrobe set.
(04:29):
There was just a robe, zero wardrobe, and so I
went and was like, UM, must be a mistake. Where's
my wardrobe? And it became a bit of an issue
back and forth. And this was my first season on
the show. It was also a network show, like you
can't have zero wardrobe, you have I didn't know those things.
I was just you know, this whole show is a
(04:49):
huge learning experience, a thing for all of us, UM
for me in particular, I'd never done anything um like
this at all. And so I remember putting this robe
on to come to set to talk because I there's
literally no clothes. And I will never forget how incredible
and wonderful Max Greenfield was in that moment because he
had a lot more experienced than me. UM and he
(05:12):
literally because you know, you have a bunch of um
our lovely crew on set, but mostly men, and he
Max used his body to kind of like shield me
and It was a very vulnerable, strange moment. And then
I think other people got involved because I was upset
(05:33):
and didn't have like cover anyway, like you're supposed to
even even if there's you're supposed to like look like
you're naked, they're supposed to have like nude underwear or something,
you know, but it just didn't even make any sense.
And so it was interesting. I had completely forgotten about it,
to be honest with you, um, but then I watched
(05:55):
that moment where all they used, of course, is just
doing this fake like fall into the frame fully with
like gets over us and then getting our clothes on.
But it and she learned to get my voice. It
helped me learn like where the boundaries were, and it
helped me realize that the men on our show, the
actors on our show, the actors on our show, were
(06:15):
such incredible allies in those moments where you needed people
to kind of like stand shoulder to shoulder with you
as a brother and be like, now that's not how
we roll on the show. But she's not comfortable. I'm
not comfortable. I never I didn't know that. Yeah, I
didn't know that either. I just I do remember it
being a little tense on set during this episode just
for what whatever reason, And I didn't remember exactly why. Um,
(06:38):
just like there was like a big scene in the UM.
Remember we were like gett a gym or something for
that science there. Yeah, yeah, And I just do I
do remember there being like tension in general, but I
just don't remember exactly why. But I remember I felt weird.
I felt not weird. I felt like because again this
is my first time as well, first show UM, and
(07:01):
I was just getting into the flow of how Liz likes,
you know, like to do things with with alts and
which which is my favorite thing to do now is
you know, have people throw jokes out and just stay
loose and you know. And I remember I remember being
so nervous because of the ilk of Dan, because of
his skill level. And I was so nervous that I
(07:24):
don't when I say I don't think he likes me,
it wasn't. It was just because I was so mixed
up in my head. He comes from such a strong
background do I keep do I play it straight or
do I do bits? And he just didn't. He didn't
have the saying like vibe as most of our directors.
I would say, like his his vibe was more like serious,
(07:47):
He's very serious. He's very like serious guy and serious guy.
And I remember one moment I did a bit or
something like that and he walked up and he goes
and he goes, he goes, yeah, let's try the script
on this one. I laughed at it and went back
to it. That was the only thing I was like,
I wonder if he hates me now, I wonder if
this guy is not a good actor. It is funny
(08:10):
like we all kind of learned on this learning curve
in like in front of each other and then in
front of this huge audience. Because there's definitely moments I'm
sure all of us had in later episodes, seasons years
where we knew how to stand up for ourselves, or
we knew our characters better, we knew our relationships with
Aaron O'Malley and Liz and Bretton Dave and who we
(08:30):
could go talk to. Um, Yeah, we just I was
pretty I think I was like luck, I mean, I
wish you'd come to me because I would have totally
helped with that. Hannah. I mean I know that now,
and like I knew that later on texted me I
would have you know, I know that now. I didn't
know that, yeah, because yeah, well no, no, we did
(08:56):
have texts. We did, That's true. I didn't definitely learned
about the strength of like the Sisterhood and later seasons
to be able to go to you and Liz and
Aaron especially bout something around like a girl thing like
not being trying to know something, and it would just
go away, you know what I mean. It was just
(09:16):
mean that was dealt with and handled with because we
had such a female lead set, which was really wonderful.
All right, let's live into this episode because this episode
is actually great. Like you and Schmidt, I mean c
C and Schmidt are carrying on a clandestine affair behind
the backs of every department where everybody is and and
(09:39):
I mean, um, Jess and Winston are so dumb that
all all Wintson us to do, say, there's a crescent
moon outside, and they look for long enough for for
CC to sneak in. Okay, here's my question, right, because
(10:00):
um Jess comes in and says to Nick right in
the beginning, snap out of it. Then they're like, there's
this crescent moon and jessin Winston run to the window
and standing like this profiled shot staring at the moon,
which is this famous shot from Moonstruck where Nick Cage
and Share are looking at Cosmos moon. And I'm like compared,
(10:24):
and I've been compared to a middle Share Award winning Share,
and I go, is are these two like Moonstruck references?
Because it's one of my favorite movies all time? Everyone's
that's the whole show is or am I just like
seeking it out? Um? When it's not a reference to Moonstruck.
(10:48):
It's a reference to Mermaids. Okay. I text Brett and
Dave today because I was like, in the episode Bully,
it looks like two very clear Moonstrike references, and they
were like, venuinely, Hannah, this was a thousand years ago,
don't remember, But there's no way somebody walks up to
somebody and goes snap out of it in a comedy
that is not a reference to moonstruct So I really
(11:12):
don't think you're correct when they see it in the shot.
I'm going to post this, Okay, I'm gonna post this
in my story. But there had been a whole lot
of movies that had profile shots looking at moons and
then saying snap out of it. I just think there
was a long film history before Moonstruck and no, that
(11:38):
was Norman Jewison, Canadian hero. Um, Okay, you know what
we're gonna do. I'm gonna get Dave Finkel to contact
the writer Walpert and to find this out because I
am convinced I think it's by accident. But I love
how how well versed you are with construct. That's awesome.
I see it everywhere you guys see very adorable. And
(12:01):
maybe it was, but I just feel like I feel
like I'm going to bet my money on the other
side on that. Okay, let's do a friendly or could
it be a two dollar bill because I have I
want to all right, Okay, that already the next episode. Okay, alright,
(12:28):
So the okay I loved about that moment in bed
is that that Max goes boobies and I am very
immature with my sense of humor, and you can see
and so you are not I can be. And I
was like, I'm like a teenage boy. And he said,
and that means that there was not one single take
where like I did not laugh because I'm clearly laughing
(12:49):
in that moment, like real me laughing. I couldn't hold
it together. I do have to say that Max had
a lot of really great Schmidt moments in this episode.
Party with Havardy, when he sends her into next room. Yeah,
that was very good. Yeah it was. It was definitely
(13:10):
like a a shining uh Schmidt. And also I loved
when you guys go to the to the restaurant at
the end and he's um telling everybody that he's sleeping
with you, but you have driven out to some like random,
really far restaurant to make sure to make sure. Oh
(13:31):
my god, Mullins, can we just talk about this moment where?
So yeah, this was was this the first theater, This
is the debut of two Winston characters, right lightning Theodore
came Mullins and Brown lightning right, and so in this moment,
Theodore came Mullins. The first take, I did it normally,
(13:51):
and I thought, no, I gotta I need to do
something else with this person with this character. Right, changed
my voice somewhat and I started handling Russell hornsby the
actor um. And there are sometimes when he gets like
real dramatic, his voice quivers and throw. Sometimes He's a
phenomenal actor. And I was just doing I was doing
(14:12):
a Russell Hornsby impression. So for all the folks out there,
because I've been asked that you were wondering, it's Russell,
That's what I'm doing. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, Max
to a real laugh in that coverage, to like not
a Schmidt laugh. Yeah, like a real break when you
do this, like love on the down low. I like,
(14:37):
I like when next like, yeah, Theodore Camelins isn't my type?
Was that Nick? Or was that Schmidt? One of those
that was Schmidt? Okay, what's really funny that it was funny.
I've been watching so much um Minx show. Yeah, and
I've taken a break from doing the rewatch episodes that
(15:00):
when Jake entered clean shaven and just like with a
fresh haircut, I was just like, oh my gosh, she
looks so different. And I'm like, no, no, this is
normal for a new girl. But it genuinely took me back.
I'm to see him, Yeah, seeing him so minxy, it's
very different. Um can you talk to us Zoe, because
(15:22):
I was not there for any of these scenes about
this sad Sparrow song. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wrote
that song. I can't remember I wrote one of the songs.
I'm pretty sure it was the Sad Sparrow song. I
didn't write the lyrics. I wrote the music. Um. And
then the other one was written by um Ludwig Uh
(15:42):
Ludwig Grenson are wonderful composer who also now is an
OSCAR winning composer. And um, yeah, he and I prerecorded
those together. And uh yeah it was fun. I know
Liz really, Um, I know she loved that. Uh she said,
(16:03):
I don't know she had that song some I don't know,
she like really liked that song some reason. It was
very catchy song. Give us a little bit of it.
I can't. I don't remember it, to be honest. Um.
And and so it was so memorable that I forgot
(16:24):
whether I forgot which one I wrote. I'm pretty sure
it's the Sad Sparrow one. It feels more like me
than the other one. UM, like my ratting stag as Um.
But um, yeah, so guys, Joey King star of Stage
and Screen or I don't know is she starts stage
starts screens all the screens, the big, the small, the medium.
(16:50):
Um was a kid in this episode and a very
scary bully. Yes, I'm actually very scared of mean kids.
The truth tellers there, truth tellers, un how they get you.
You're probably scared because with mean kids, like if you're
if you are grown up in someone's menia, you can
be mean back, or you can check you should be like,
(17:13):
excuse me, act your age, not your shoe size. Yeah,
but you can snap their science fair project and yeah
you can. But so so I love I love a
twelve year old that who's who's main burn was? Are
you barren? Um? That? Also anytime you see a mean child,
(17:40):
and we've all encountered a few in our lives. How
later in life I realized, Oh, you were just a
mouthpiece for your parents. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I've learned
nothing about you as a little, tiny person. This is
completely taught. I don't know, though, guys, because I have
(18:01):
met totally not nice kids who have lovely parents. Well,
you know what I'm gathering is sometimes it's it's so
my kid loves um. She loves to scream randomly. She's
your kid, only she's almost two, she's a couple of months,
she's still very small. But I realized something. I said, Man,
(18:24):
no one, no one in this house screams, right and
I thought, Okay, where is she getting this from? And
I call parents, you know, and I asked the mom
what's going on. She was like, I don't do that.
And so I remember sitting down and watching Vivo, right,
and there's this one scene in Vivo multiple times, but
the little girl on the show just screams every time,
and she will go out and every time she does that,
(18:46):
my my kid would do the exact same scream. And
then I go and I put two and two together.
It's her favorite movie. She was getting a lot of
that from this particular movie and it hasn't left her.
It's like that's when it started. Yeah, I pieced it together.
That was it, you know. So sometimes it's not the parents,
it's it's you know, that's true with their little friends. Yeah,
(19:07):
the little shows, they also get like more, you know,
they start trying to manipulate you to get what they
want at a certain point, and then they do things
that you don't like to kind of exactly and she
(19:27):
probably can see you don't love that, you know, interesting,
he hates this. Let me do it again. That fact
Also about about Joey King. In this episode, she was
wearing a wig. Oh yeah, she had shaved her head
(19:48):
for Dark Knight. Dark Knight. Yeah, the little girl in
that film. Yes, I remember that. I thought that when
I when I heard that when when we were filming
this episode with Dark Knight. This movie has since become
my favorite of the superhero movies. I thought, that's so cool.
(20:09):
I worked with that person right there, and yeah, it's
my favorite, you know. Um, but yeah, that thought that
was an interesting thing. I was like, why is this
a little girl wearing why she wearing a wig? Like
that's weird, you know. I watched the episode. I'm like,
that's a very nice bob. Yeah, it's very cute and
(20:32):
she is a very good actress. Can we just talk
about second, did you guys? Science fair? Oh? Yes, very much. Yes,
I have and didn't do a good job. I remember.
I was like, what everything was? I remember doing the
(20:53):
eighth grade science fair and um, I was like, none
of this is I was like, what's interesting to me?
And I was like makeup. I want to make makeup,
and so I made makeup. But I didn't do a
great job at it. Guys, I remember I did um
(21:16):
a science fair project. Classic. I'm mean smarter than women
or women smarter than men? So I built like a
maze out of cy we do, and I convinced my
mom to let me go and like to the pet
store and get guinea pigs and mice and monnies. This
(21:38):
is true. And we kept them all in our bathroom.
This is in Cyprus. Um ended up at finding homes
for the bunnies in the guinea pigs, because after about
three hours my mom was like, this is like, what
did I agree to? This is crazy? Um, So we
just had the mice. I had a little boy that
was a brown one and a little girl that was
a white one. And then we lost the little brown one.
(22:00):
I'm sorry we lost the white one. I brought a
baby of better and tried to cover the brown one
and talcum powder to make it white. That's exactly what
I tried to cover the fact that, Hannah, you tried
to white wash the brown That's right. It's a it's
a deeper issue of me growing up in the eighties
as a little brown girl. Okay, I understand the metaphor here,
(22:23):
I get it. Okay, I'm talcum powder causes cancer too,
so you might have given that mouse cancer. We were
all covered in talcum powder as a baby that's the
thing that's pretty crazy. Um well, on that really positive
note of traumatic science fairs and we're gonna throw the
brake on the other side, Welcole and we're black from Break.
(23:01):
You crack yourself up every single time. I don't know
why it's your favorite thing. Ah and we are black
um us. Can we talk about where's the bere? Did
you find it? This episode Science Fair? In the Science
Fair stuff bear? There's a big stuff that is where's
(23:25):
the bear? Where's the bear? You know what? It's not
obvious because there's a lot going on in set deck
for that episode, so it's definitely um a hunt, but
there's a bear boom. We founded this episode. We didn't
do anything. We did a great job collectively as a
as a unit fund the bear. And I'm really really
(23:46):
excited about that. Yeah. Lt mourn is excited. You like
the participation award? Huh? I do um jess uh jess Zoe.
Oh wait, I have a funny story to really quick
wait no, you go ahead, And mine wasn't you go much. No.
I was just gonna ask you got you got something
(24:07):
scrubbed from the internet and I was just curious, like
who call? Yeah, when I asked, I don't know. I
was actually thinking the same thing. I was like, who
am I'm on the phone with how do you get
how do you describe yourself from the internet? Maybe I
called Google? Um, No, here's my story, you guys. Um.
(24:31):
I was shopping yesterday. I was at Sephora and two
middle school girls came up to me and asked me
if I was a teacher at their school. Get and
I was like, no, no, no, not. And then I
was like, well, that's the best compliment that they believed
that I was anything other than an actor. She really said,
(24:57):
was you dumb bitch? Do teachers draft five planes? Definitely
know what you said. Yeah, because I drive to Sephora.
I'm a I'm a private plane driver each my job.
I'm not going to comment on that you're the only
(25:19):
one that drives a private plane. Cars. I know you
have all kinds of fancy cars the fly. Okay, not me,
not me at all. Um. In this episode, Nick Um,
there's a lot of relationship be stuff happening, obviously, and
you know Nick gets broken up with Yeah, everything was
(25:43):
doing was going fine, and then he just sabotages himself
with his own sarities and seeing those insecurities is what
causes Julia to be like, he can't do this. He
pulls a Jon Favreau and Swingers. Do you remember that
moment and Swingers where John Favreau keeps calling the girl
who gave she just gave him her number and he
(26:06):
keeps calling her and calling her and calling her until
it's like he's completely ruined it. Great moment And another
person who does that very well is Mr Jake Johnson. Um.
He does a great phone sabotage. Um. But um, you
know that Julia had to leave the show because she
(26:27):
was a guest star, and you know any guest star
like there is going to be killed off, not kill off,
but like the relationship will get killed off at some point. Yeah. Yeah,
And you know it's interesting because you know, you know
it's coming, Yeah, what's gonna happen? And then you you
develop some sort of you know, I'm not, I'm not
you know, friends with her, but I thought she's dope,
(26:48):
she's cool and she's really awesome. Yeah, and then you go, oh,
this that episode she has to leave. Now, I know
it's one of those things that I wish she could
have been on longer. Yeah. Great. The things about the
show that I love is like a fan of our show,
is that it wasn't just Julia coming and saying I'm
breaking up with you or I've moved on, because it's
(27:09):
easy to make the guests are the villain, so you
can keep your heroes kind of protected. But we learned
so much about Nick's character, um and how much um
he wants to try to be better and grow and
is not comfortable with all the things he's not good
at and he wants to fix those. You learned so
(27:32):
much about him, and he was the reason that she
ends up not being able to stay with him because
he's not ready to be in a real relationship yet.
And you learned all of that through a cactus. And
how great Jake is, um, you know, in handling, how
they gave him that storyline. He did try to put
(27:52):
the cactus back together. I know it's all taped together
in a symbolic turn. I have a similar story that's
I'm not sure if I've ever told you guys a story.
There was this lovely young actress that I was dating
back in the day. I want to say dating. I
was more like we were talking casually talking in a
flirtatious way, and dating, you know, loosely, I would say, loosely,
(28:16):
and loosely loosely dating and a friend of mine and
and I hadn't I guess I don't know the rules
of courtship. Sometimes if I'm in a relationship, it just
kind of happened, you know what I mean. And organically, well,
you have to fight for her in an organized night
fight with sort I would have, Well, it might it
(28:40):
was going to come to that at one point. This
is a weird situation because she was a foreigner, right,
and she had a very cool foreigner energy, And I
was like, man, how do I what are you? And
my face is twisted up into I'm trying to say thing.
I'm trying to say what She's from a different country,
(29:03):
and she she's just she was a foreigner and head
of for it, like in a great way. I thought, man,
this is super cool. She's super like free and like
energetic in a way that I hadn't dated in that time,
and and her view in the world was different, and
so we A friend of mine suggested that I bring
her like flowers, right, And I thought that's stupid. I'm
(29:26):
not doing that, and he was like, dude, I'm telling you,
like she's going back out of town. She's only town
for a little bit, and now it's gonna be this
long distance thing. Just get her like flowers before she goes.
I call a flower shop. They go to a flower shop.
On my way to her place. All I had left
was like like succulents, like with like secculents, with these
(29:46):
little weird daisies popping out of him. And I was like,
I guess this is all I have. Really, I guess
I'll get her this right. And I go and I
go to her place and I bring it. I think
it's just going to be her and I and she's
having like a party, like there's like there's like ten
people in her apartment and they all look at me
like this loser. Then I gave it to her. The
(30:08):
rest of the party was awkward. The next day, she
sends me a note a text like listen, I don't
think it's gonna work out. Oh my god, wut. I
was so hurt, like I want to say hurt, Like
I still I still think about it every once in
a while, like damn, that succulent. So do you know
what happened? Lamour, What just happened? What? She was Patrick
(30:30):
Swayze and you were Jennifer Gray and you carried a watermelon.
Oh I don't remember, I don't. You don't know that reference.
I know it, but I don't know. And Dirty Dancing,
Jennifer Gray is really excited to go to like the
sexy cool Patrick Swayze and she's got this watermelon and
then he opens the door and it's like a huge
(30:52):
party and he's like looking super cool and sexy, and
she's like, I carried a watermelon and he's like, yeah,
cool man. And it's a very awkward moment. I get that.
I get that weird moment where you're just like I
was trying to do the thing, and my friend gave
me advice, and so I've showed up to try to
do the thing. And now sometimes it works out because
(31:14):
it's against your instinct, and you know, sometimes it works out,
and then sometimes it doesn't, and then it really makes
it hard because you want against your instinct by bringing
her the flower, the cactus flower. Um, and um, that's
always that's always tough. She wasn't ready to be in
a real relationship. The title of this episode is called bully. Bully.
(31:38):
Have you ever had a bully or been bullied? Of
course I have. Look at me. It isn't that crazy.
It's kind of a universal experience. I feel like everybody
somebody who has been bullied guys and personality. All Right,
(32:01):
should we take a break before we wrap up this
wonderful episode and come back and play True American? Yeah,
we'll come back and play True Americans. Alright, to play,
let's go Welcome. All right, we're back and we're ready
(32:24):
to play True American. Welcome to True American, where the
rules change weekly and you'll leave more confused than when
you showed up. This week, we're playing j Edgar Hoover's Bullies.
(32:44):
We'll try to match these famous quotes to the famous
bully who said them. You guys, ready, Yeah, let's do it.
I mean, I feel like this one's the first one's obvious. Okay,
Bully number one? Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think McFly? Think?
I gotta have time. Wait, I gotta have time to
(33:06):
get them retyped. Do you realize what would happen if
I handed my reports in your handwriting? I'll get fired.
I'm sorry, I'm doing a very bad acting job. You
wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Would you? Look,
this is why I don't play bullies, also because I'm
good at it. Um. This is from Back to the Future.
(33:28):
This right is correct? Fun fact. If you're out there,
if you're living out there and your name is Biff,
you are just by your name your name, you can't
alright bully too, Okay, do you want to read it? Sure? Oh?
(33:49):
This is Susan from Planted Parenthood. I have her test results.
If you could have her give me a call as
soon as she can. It's urgent. Thank you. The other
example from that Bully too is I love her, She's
like a Martian. And then the other one is get
in the car, losers, we're going shopping. Is this like
from Mean Girls? Maybe it feels like Mean Girls, but
(34:12):
that feels like Regina. What's her name? Regina? Yeah, you
gotta get out, Thank you, Thank you. I felt like
another She's a classic classic bully but also sort of likable. Yeah,
classic bully. Um, Bully three, you want to go atmar listen, jerk?
(34:33):
Why not tell you to come? You better come? Um?
That face you made, Hannah just so you read it?
So mean that you also read it like you're in
a comes or or or what You're gonna cry? Now,
(34:58):
come on cry, maybe cry for me. Cry. Look, first
of all, I just hear a cry baby, and I'm like,
it's cry baby. I thought too that and cry baby.
I don't remember the name of the bully. I just remember, guys,
the movie A Christmas Story. I don't remember, Oh my god,
(35:26):
the name. Well, you know what I realized now your
impression was kind of spot on. You were channeling a
clue basically. Yeah, alright, by four, okay, all decide when
he's had enough? Man, the enemy deserves no mercy. Okay.
(35:46):
And then also, okay, here's your first lesson how to
take a fall? Is this from a like an army movie?
That's different? Is it from an army movie? Right's karate kid?
Karate Kid? Uh? No mercy? All right, Hannah, you want
(36:13):
to take the last one? Okay, there's two left. Here's
number five. You're all ready to bust the ass? Oh
my goodness, the first like I'd like to dedicate to
your mother. Sucker. Okay, this one I don't know. I
didn't get, but this is a very mean bully played
(36:35):
by Ben affleck Oh oh is it? Oh it's from
right correct? Whoa, it's so funny, alright, wrap it up.
Oh my gosh, yeah that movie was a star studed. Yes,
I love that movie. Okay. Um, with this money, I
can get away from you, from you and your chickens
(36:57):
and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells
of grease. I can get away from this shack with
its cheap furniture in this town and it's dollar days,
and it's women that wear uniforms, and it's men that
were overalls. This is interesting the writing. This is like
a man at movie or something. You think, just because
you made a little money, you can get a new
(37:19):
hair do with some expensive clothes and turn yourself into
a lady. But you can't because you'll never be anything
but a comment Trump whose father lived over a grocery store,
whose mother took in washing. Huh definitely uh yeah. This
is definitely like a mean husband, obviously, but being called
a frump frum. Yeah, what what is this from? I
(37:43):
don't know what is this? This is from Mildred Pierce,
actually Mildred's daughter che kang i energine and now, yeah,
don't speak this way. May I say, there's another great
(38:03):
bully in Days and Confused. Um, it's um Parker Posey
and she's like, get on the freshman bitches. And then
she was a New Girl too. She was on New
Girl first season of season two. Um, this was really fun.
(38:25):
This was really fun, very fun. You guys. Thank you.
UM can't wait for the next one. Every time I watch,
it's so fun to get to read. Um. So these episodes,
what we're gonna do do a little deep digging. I'm
going to contact the writer of this episode the Moons,
going to find out about the moonstick situation. Sounds kind

let's patch in, Hannah, God, I forgot what it was
like working with you. Guys. Hi, guys, welcome, welcome to,
(00:31):
welcome to, Welcome to our show. I haven't seen you
a little bit. I know, I know it's been a
way for us, the way that we record these things.
So jumping right in, Yes, let's jump. This is called
bully ye holy on. This week's episode just deals with
(00:54):
a classroom bully Brianna. I don't know how you feel
about Brianna just yet, played by a young Joey King.
You've got to be kidding me now. While she trials
her best to change the tone of the room through song,
Brianna's cutting words get to tender hearted Jess. Y'all know
(01:14):
she's sensitive. Now, in a moment of anger, just breaks
Brianna's science fair project. Now that's something you just don't do.
You don't come for the kids like that. Now, when
she comes clean to the entire school, just expects to
get the hammer. Instead, she's welcome to a sorority of
kid hating teachers. Meanwhile, Nick finds julius gift of a
(01:37):
cactus perplexing. His imagination runs away with him as he
begins viewing the plant as a bad omen for telling
an impending breakup. Is Nick psychic or is the cactus psychic? Now?
While he tries his best to take care of the cactus,
every action destroys it a little bit more. That cactus
(01:58):
was messed up. Y'all was jacked up. Y'all said it
had bandages on all kinds of places. Now panicked, he
leaves Julia seven increasingly erratic voicemails, I'm not gonna lie
to you. I've done it now. When she returns from China,
Julia realizes she doesn't want to be in a relationship
with me, and they break up. Over in Schmidt's room,
(02:20):
Ceci begins a tourret love affair that embarrasses her. She
sneaks in and out of the loft like a damn spy,
makes Schmidt stay in her car while she's at a
party like he's a little dog, cracks the window for
him like he's a little puppy, And finally Ceci mets
that she doesn't like being shown off as a trophy
(02:41):
and worries Schmidt wanted to tell people about their relationships
simply to brag. But our man Schmidt has a confession too.
He's head over Here's for Cecy. Y'all know it's coming next.
He's so in awe of their being together that he
wants to shout his love from the rooftops. She allows
him to tell a waiter and he stands on the
(03:02):
table and he tells the whole damn restaurant. Now back
to the show directed by Dan Addias, is how you? Yes?
I think it's Dan Addis and he he had quite
a pedigree, as I recall that director he interrected like
(03:22):
the wire and stuff like that. I mean, if you
go to his Wikipedia, his list of the list of
shows that this man has uh directed is insane. Their soprano, Um,
you know, here's the funny thing about it, though, so
many shows I'm talking shows from Miami, Vice, the old
(03:44):
school Advice he's directed if you're looking at his Wikipedia. Though,
the one show that's not on the list of shows,
that girl, his new Girl. Well, I fell out of
his It felt like it was not his his thing.
Maybe like he's kind of a drama die right, yes,
(04:05):
but he had done a ton of always funny Oh
really so right at the top of the episode, right
it's Um Schmidt and c C kind of like fall
into frame and then you get that funny scene of
her being disgusted but satisfied. UM And I remember going
into my trailer that morning and there was zero wardrobe set.
(04:29):
There was just a robe, zero wardrobe, and so I
went and was like, UM, must be a mistake. Where's
my wardrobe? And it became a bit of an issue
back and forth. And this was my first season on
the show. It was also a network show, like you
can't have zero wardrobe, you have I didn't know those things.
I was just you know, this whole show is a
(04:49):
huge learning experience, a thing for all of us, UM
for me in particular, I'd never done anything um like
this at all. And so I remember putting this robe
on to come to set to talk because I there's
literally no clothes. And I will never forget how incredible
and wonderful Max Greenfield was in that moment because he
had a lot more experienced than me. UM and he
(05:12):
literally because you know, you have a bunch of um
our lovely crew on set, but mostly men, and he
Max used his body to kind of like shield me
and It was a very vulnerable, strange moment. And then
I think other people got involved because I was upset
(05:33):
and didn't have like cover anyway, like you're supposed to
even even if there's you're supposed to like look like
you're naked, they're supposed to have like nude underwear or something,
you know, but it just didn't even make any sense.
And so it was interesting. I had completely forgotten about it,
to be honest with you, um, but then I watched
(05:55):
that moment where all they used, of course, is just
doing this fake like fall into the frame fully with
like gets over us and then getting our clothes on.
But it and she learned to get my voice. It
helped me learn like where the boundaries were, and it
helped me realize that the men on our show, the
actors on our show, the actors on our show, were
(06:15):
such incredible allies in those moments where you needed people
to kind of like stand shoulder to shoulder with you
as a brother and be like, now that's not how
we roll on the show. But she's not comfortable. I'm
not comfortable. I never I didn't know that. Yeah, I
didn't know that either. I just I do remember it
being a little tense on set during this episode just
for what whatever reason, And I didn't remember exactly why. Um,
(06:38):
just like there was like a big scene in the UM.
Remember we were like gett a gym or something for
that science there. Yeah, yeah, And I just do I
do remember there being like tension in general, but I
just don't remember exactly why. But I remember I felt weird.
I felt not weird. I felt like because again this
is my first time as well, first show UM, and
(07:01):
I was just getting into the flow of how Liz likes,
you know, like to do things with with alts and
which which is my favorite thing to do now is
you know, have people throw jokes out and just stay
loose and you know. And I remember I remember being
so nervous because of the ilk of Dan, because of
his skill level. And I was so nervous that I
(07:24):
don't when I say I don't think he likes me,
it wasn't. It was just because I was so mixed
up in my head. He comes from such a strong
background do I keep do I play it straight or
do I do bits? And he just didn't. He didn't
have the saying like vibe as most of our directors.
I would say, like his his vibe was more like serious,
(07:47):
He's very serious. He's very like serious guy and serious guy.
And I remember one moment I did a bit or
something like that and he walked up and he goes
and he goes, he goes, yeah, let's try the script
on this one. I laughed at it and went back
to it. That was the only thing I was like,
I wonder if he hates me now, I wonder if
this guy is not a good actor. It is funny
(08:10):
like we all kind of learned on this learning curve
in like in front of each other and then in
front of this huge audience. Because there's definitely moments I'm
sure all of us had in later episodes, seasons years
where we knew how to stand up for ourselves, or
we knew our characters better, we knew our relationships with
Aaron O'Malley and Liz and Bretton Dave and who we
(08:30):
could go talk to. Um, Yeah, we just I was
pretty I think I was like luck, I mean, I
wish you'd come to me because I would have totally
helped with that. Hannah. I mean I know that now,
and like I knew that later on texted me I
would have you know, I know that now. I didn't
know that, yeah, because yeah, well no, no, we did
(08:56):
have texts. We did, That's true. I didn't definitely learned
about the strength of like the Sisterhood and later seasons
to be able to go to you and Liz and
Aaron especially bout something around like a girl thing like
not being trying to know something, and it would just
go away, you know what I mean. It was just
(09:16):
mean that was dealt with and handled with because we
had such a female lead set, which was really wonderful.
All right, let's live into this episode because this episode
is actually great. Like you and Schmidt, I mean c
C and Schmidt are carrying on a clandestine affair behind
the backs of every department where everybody is and and
(09:39):
I mean, um, Jess and Winston are so dumb that
all all Wintson us to do, say, there's a crescent
moon outside, and they look for long enough for for
CC to sneak in. Okay, here's my question, right, because
(10:00):
um Jess comes in and says to Nick right in
the beginning, snap out of it. Then they're like, there's
this crescent moon and jessin Winston run to the window
and standing like this profiled shot staring at the moon,
which is this famous shot from Moonstruck where Nick Cage
and Share are looking at Cosmos moon. And I'm like compared,
(10:24):
and I've been compared to a middle Share Award winning Share,
and I go, is are these two like Moonstruck references?
Because it's one of my favorite movies all time? Everyone's
that's the whole show is or am I just like
seeking it out? Um? When it's not a reference to Moonstruck.
(10:48):
It's a reference to Mermaids. Okay. I text Brett and
Dave today because I was like, in the episode Bully,
it looks like two very clear Moonstrike references, and they
were like, venuinely, Hannah, this was a thousand years ago,
don't remember, But there's no way somebody walks up to
somebody and goes snap out of it in a comedy
that is not a reference to moonstruct So I really
(11:12):
don't think you're correct when they see it in the shot.
I'm going to post this, Okay, I'm gonna post this
in my story. But there had been a whole lot
of movies that had profile shots looking at moons and
then saying snap out of it. I just think there
was a long film history before Moonstruck and no, that
(11:38):
was Norman Jewison, Canadian hero. Um, Okay, you know what
we're gonna do. I'm gonna get Dave Finkel to contact
the writer Walpert and to find this out because I
am convinced I think it's by accident. But I love
how how well versed you are with construct. That's awesome.
I see it everywhere you guys see very adorable. And
(12:01):
maybe it was, but I just feel like I feel
like I'm going to bet my money on the other
side on that. Okay, let's do a friendly or could
it be a two dollar bill because I have I
want to all right, Okay, that already the next episode. Okay, alright,
(12:28):
So the okay I loved about that moment in bed
is that that Max goes boobies and I am very
immature with my sense of humor, and you can see
and so you are not I can be. And I
was like, I'm like a teenage boy. And he said,
and that means that there was not one single take
where like I did not laugh because I'm clearly laughing
(12:49):
in that moment, like real me laughing. I couldn't hold
it together. I do have to say that Max had
a lot of really great Schmidt moments in this episode.
Party with Havardy, when he sends her into next room. Yeah,
that was very good. Yeah it was. It was definitely
(13:10):
like a a shining uh Schmidt. And also I loved
when you guys go to the to the restaurant at
the end and he's um telling everybody that he's sleeping
with you, but you have driven out to some like random,
really far restaurant to make sure to make sure. Oh
(13:31):
my god, Mullins, can we just talk about this moment where?
So yeah, this was was this the first theater, This
is the debut of two Winston characters, right lightning Theodore
came Mullins and Brown lightning right, and so in this moment,
Theodore came Mullins. The first take, I did it normally,
(13:51):
and I thought, no, I gotta I need to do
something else with this person with this character. Right, changed
my voice somewhat and I started handling Russell hornsby the
actor um. And there are sometimes when he gets like
real dramatic, his voice quivers and throw. Sometimes He's a
phenomenal actor. And I was just doing I was doing
(14:12):
a Russell Hornsby impression. So for all the folks out there,
because I've been asked that you were wondering, it's Russell,
That's what I'm doing. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, Max
to a real laugh in that coverage, to like not
a Schmidt laugh. Yeah, like a real break when you
do this, like love on the down low. I like,
(14:37):
I like when next like, yeah, Theodore Camelins isn't my type?
Was that Nick? Or was that Schmidt? One of those
that was Schmidt? Okay, what's really funny that it was funny.
I've been watching so much um Minx show. Yeah, and
I've taken a break from doing the rewatch episodes that
(15:00):
when Jake entered clean shaven and just like with a
fresh haircut, I was just like, oh my gosh, she
looks so different. And I'm like, no, no, this is
normal for a new girl. But it genuinely took me back.
I'm to see him, Yeah, seeing him so minxy, it's
very different. Um can you talk to us Zoe, because
(15:22):
I was not there for any of these scenes about
this sad Sparrow song. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wrote
that song. I can't remember I wrote one of the songs.
I'm pretty sure it was the Sad Sparrow song. I
didn't write the lyrics. I wrote the music. Um. And
then the other one was written by um Ludwig Uh
(15:42):
Ludwig Grenson are wonderful composer who also now is an
OSCAR winning composer. And um, yeah, he and I prerecorded
those together. And uh yeah it was fun. I know
Liz really, Um, I know she loved that. Uh she said,
(16:03):
I don't know she had that song some I don't know,
she like really liked that song some reason. It was
very catchy song. Give us a little bit of it.
I can't. I don't remember it, to be honest. Um.
And and so it was so memorable that I forgot
(16:24):
whether I forgot which one I wrote. I'm pretty sure
it's the Sad Sparrow one. It feels more like me
than the other one. UM, like my ratting stag as Um.
But um, yeah, so guys, Joey King star of Stage
and Screen or I don't know is she starts stage
starts screens all the screens, the big, the small, the medium.
(16:50):
Um was a kid in this episode and a very
scary bully. Yes, I'm actually very scared of mean kids.
The truth tellers there, truth tellers, un how they get you.
You're probably scared because with mean kids, like if you're
if you are grown up in someone's menia, you can
be mean back, or you can check you should be like,
(17:13):
excuse me, act your age, not your shoe size. Yeah,
but you can snap their science fair project and yeah
you can. But so so I love I love a
twelve year old that who's who's main burn was? Are
you barren? Um? That? Also anytime you see a mean child,
(17:40):
and we've all encountered a few in our lives. How
later in life I realized, Oh, you were just a
mouthpiece for your parents. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I've learned
nothing about you as a little, tiny person. This is
completely taught. I don't know, though, guys, because I have
(18:01):
met totally not nice kids who have lovely parents. Well,
you know what I'm gathering is sometimes it's it's so
my kid loves um. She loves to scream randomly. She's
your kid, only she's almost two, she's a couple of months,
she's still very small. But I realized something. I said, Man,
(18:24):
no one, no one in this house screams, right and
I thought, Okay, where is she getting this from? And
I call parents, you know, and I asked the mom
what's going on. She was like, I don't do that.
And so I remember sitting down and watching Vivo, right,
and there's this one scene in Vivo multiple times, but
the little girl on the show just screams every time,
and she will go out and every time she does that,
(18:46):
my my kid would do the exact same scream. And
then I go and I put two and two together.
It's her favorite movie. She was getting a lot of
that from this particular movie and it hasn't left her.
It's like that's when it started. Yeah, I pieced it together.
That was it, you know. So sometimes it's not the parents,
it's it's you know, that's true with their little friends. Yeah,
(19:07):
the little shows, they also get like more, you know,
they start trying to manipulate you to get what they
want at a certain point, and then they do things
that you don't like to kind of exactly and she
(19:27):
probably can see you don't love that, you know, interesting,
he hates this. Let me do it again. That fact
Also about about Joey King. In this episode, she was
wearing a wig. Oh yeah, she had shaved her head
(19:48):
for Dark Knight. Dark Knight. Yeah, the little girl in
that film. Yes, I remember that. I thought that when
I when I heard that when when we were filming
this episode with Dark Knight. This movie has since become
my favorite of the superhero movies. I thought, that's so cool.
(20:09):
I worked with that person right there, and yeah, it's
my favorite, you know. Um, but yeah, that thought that
was an interesting thing. I was like, why is this
a little girl wearing why she wearing a wig? Like
that's weird, you know. I watched the episode. I'm like,
that's a very nice bob. Yeah, it's very cute and
(20:32):
she is a very good actress. Can we just talk
about second, did you guys? Science fair? Oh? Yes, very much. Yes,
I have and didn't do a good job. I remember.
I was like, what everything was? I remember doing the
(20:53):
eighth grade science fair and um, I was like, none
of this is I was like, what's interesting to me?
And I was like makeup. I want to make makeup,
and so I made makeup. But I didn't do a
great job at it. Guys, I remember I did um
(21:16):
a science fair project. Classic. I'm mean smarter than women
or women smarter than men? So I built like a
maze out of cy we do, and I convinced my
mom to let me go and like to the pet
store and get guinea pigs and mice and monnies. This
(21:38):
is true. And we kept them all in our bathroom.
This is in Cyprus. Um ended up at finding homes
for the bunnies in the guinea pigs, because after about
three hours my mom was like, this is like, what
did I agree to? This is crazy? Um, So we
just had the mice. I had a little boy that
was a brown one and a little girl that was
a white one. And then we lost the little brown one.
(22:00):
I'm sorry we lost the white one. I brought a
baby of better and tried to cover the brown one
and talcum powder to make it white. That's exactly what
I tried to cover the fact that, Hannah, you tried
to white wash the brown That's right. It's a it's
a deeper issue of me growing up in the eighties
as a little brown girl. Okay, I understand the metaphor here,
(22:23):
I get it. Okay, I'm talcum powder causes cancer too,
so you might have given that mouse cancer. We were
all covered in talcum powder as a baby that's the
thing that's pretty crazy. Um well, on that really positive
note of traumatic science fairs and we're gonna throw the
brake on the other side, Welcole and we're black from Break.
(23:01):
You crack yourself up every single time. I don't know
why it's your favorite thing. Ah and we are black
um us. Can we talk about where's the bere? Did
you find it? This episode Science Fair? In the Science
Fair stuff bear? There's a big stuff that is where's
(23:25):
the bear? Where's the bear? You know what? It's not
obvious because there's a lot going on in set deck
for that episode, so it's definitely um a hunt, but
there's a bear boom. We founded this episode. We didn't
do anything. We did a great job collectively as a
as a unit fund the bear. And I'm really really
(23:46):
excited about that. Yeah. Lt mourn is excited. You like
the participation award? Huh? I do um jess uh jess Zoe.
Oh wait, I have a funny story to really quick
wait no, you go ahead, And mine wasn't you go much. No.
I was just gonna ask you got you got something
(24:07):
scrubbed from the internet and I was just curious, like
who call? Yeah, when I asked, I don't know. I
was actually thinking the same thing. I was like, who
am I'm on the phone with how do you get
how do you describe yourself from the internet? Maybe I
called Google? Um, No, here's my story, you guys. Um.
(24:31):
I was shopping yesterday. I was at Sephora and two
middle school girls came up to me and asked me
if I was a teacher at their school. Get and
I was like, no, no, no, not. And then I
was like, well, that's the best compliment that they believed
that I was anything other than an actor. She really said,
(24:57):
was you dumb bitch? Do teachers draft five planes? Definitely
know what you said. Yeah, because I drive to Sephora.
I'm a I'm a private plane driver each my job.
I'm not going to comment on that you're the only
(25:19):
one that drives a private plane. Cars. I know you
have all kinds of fancy cars the fly. Okay, not me,
not me at all. Um. In this episode, Nick Um,
there's a lot of relationship be stuff happening, obviously, and
you know Nick gets broken up with Yeah, everything was
(25:43):
doing was going fine, and then he just sabotages himself
with his own sarities and seeing those insecurities is what
causes Julia to be like, he can't do this. He
pulls a Jon Favreau and Swingers. Do you remember that
moment and Swingers where John Favreau keeps calling the girl
who gave she just gave him her number and he
(26:06):
keeps calling her and calling her and calling her until
it's like he's completely ruined it. Great moment And another
person who does that very well is Mr Jake Johnson. Um.
He does a great phone sabotage. Um. But um, you
know that Julia had to leave the show because she
(26:27):
was a guest star, and you know any guest star
like there is going to be killed off, not kill off,
but like the relationship will get killed off at some point. Yeah. Yeah,
And you know it's interesting because you know, you know
it's coming, Yeah, what's gonna happen? And then you you
develop some sort of you know, I'm not, I'm not
you know, friends with her, but I thought she's dope,
(26:48):
she's cool and she's really awesome. Yeah, and then you go, oh,
this that episode she has to leave. Now, I know
it's one of those things that I wish she could
have been on longer. Yeah. Great. The things about the
show that I love is like a fan of our show,
is that it wasn't just Julia coming and saying I'm
breaking up with you or I've moved on, because it's
(27:09):
easy to make the guests are the villain, so you
can keep your heroes kind of protected. But we learned
so much about Nick's character, um and how much um
he wants to try to be better and grow and
is not comfortable with all the things he's not good
at and he wants to fix those. You learned so
(27:32):
much about him, and he was the reason that she
ends up not being able to stay with him because
he's not ready to be in a real relationship yet.
And you learned all of that through a cactus. And
how great Jake is, um, you know, in handling, how
they gave him that storyline. He did try to put
(27:52):
the cactus back together. I know it's all taped together
in a symbolic turn. I have a similar story that's
I'm not sure if I've ever told you guys a story.
There was this lovely young actress that I was dating
back in the day. I want to say dating. I
was more like we were talking casually talking in a
flirtatious way, and dating, you know, loosely, I would say, loosely,
(28:16):
and loosely loosely dating and a friend of mine and
and I hadn't I guess I don't know the rules
of courtship. Sometimes if I'm in a relationship, it just
kind of happened, you know what I mean. And organically, well,
you have to fight for her in an organized night
fight with sort I would have, Well, it might it
(28:40):
was going to come to that at one point. This
is a weird situation because she was a foreigner, right,
and she had a very cool foreigner energy, And I
was like, man, how do I what are you? And
my face is twisted up into I'm trying to say thing.
I'm trying to say what She's from a different country,
(29:03):
and she she's just she was a foreigner and head
of for it, like in a great way. I thought, man,
this is super cool. She's super like free and like
energetic in a way that I hadn't dated in that time,
and and her view in the world was different, and
so we A friend of mine suggested that I bring
her like flowers, right, And I thought that's stupid. I'm
(29:26):
not doing that, and he was like, dude, I'm telling you,
like she's going back out of town. She's only town
for a little bit, and now it's gonna be this
long distance thing. Just get her like flowers before she goes.
I call a flower shop. They go to a flower shop.
On my way to her place. All I had left
was like like succulents, like with like secculents, with these
(29:46):
little weird daisies popping out of him. And I was like,
I guess this is all I have. Really, I guess
I'll get her this right. And I go and I
go to her place and I bring it. I think
it's just going to be her and I and she's
having like a party, like there's like there's like ten
people in her apartment and they all look at me
like this loser. Then I gave it to her. The
(30:08):
rest of the party was awkward. The next day, she
sends me a note a text like listen, I don't
think it's gonna work out. Oh my god, wut. I
was so hurt, like I want to say hurt, Like
I still I still think about it every once in
a while, like damn, that succulent. So do you know
what happened? Lamour, What just happened? What? She was Patrick
(30:30):
Swayze and you were Jennifer Gray and you carried a watermelon.
Oh I don't remember, I don't. You don't know that reference.
I know it, but I don't know. And Dirty Dancing,
Jennifer Gray is really excited to go to like the
sexy cool Patrick Swayze and she's got this watermelon and
then he opens the door and it's like a huge
(30:52):
party and he's like looking super cool and sexy, and
she's like, I carried a watermelon and he's like, yeah,
cool man. And it's a very awkward moment. I get that.
I get that weird moment where you're just like I
was trying to do the thing, and my friend gave
me advice, and so I've showed up to try to
do the thing. And now sometimes it works out because
(31:14):
it's against your instinct, and you know, sometimes it works out,
and then sometimes it doesn't, and then it really makes
it hard because you want against your instinct by bringing
her the flower, the cactus flower. Um, and um, that's
always that's always tough. She wasn't ready to be in
a real relationship. The title of this episode is called bully. Bully.
(31:38):
Have you ever had a bully or been bullied? Of
course I have. Look at me. It isn't that crazy.
It's kind of a universal experience. I feel like everybody
somebody who has been bullied guys and personality. All Right,
(32:01):

wonderful episode and come back and play True American? Yeah,
we'll come back and play True Americans. Alright, to play,

to play True American. Welcome to True American, where the
rules change weekly and you'll leave more confused than when
you showed up. This week, we're playing j Edgar Hoover's Bullies.
(32:44):
We'll try to match these famous quotes to the famous
bully who said them. You guys, ready, Yeah, let's do it.
I mean, I feel like this one's the first one's obvious. Okay,
Bully number one? Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think McFly? Think?
I gotta have time. Wait, I gotta have time to
(33:06):
get them retyped. Do you realize what would happen if
I handed my reports in your handwriting? I'll get fired.
I'm sorry, I'm doing a very bad acting job. You
wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Would you? Look,
this is why I don't play bullies, also because I'm
good at it. Um. This is from Back to the Future.
(33:28):
This right is correct? Fun fact. If you're out there,
if you're living out there and your name is Biff,
you are just by your name your name, you can't
alright bully too, Okay, do you want to read it? Sure? Oh?
(33:49):
This is Susan from Planted Parenthood. I have her test results.
If you could have her give me a call as
soon as she can. It's urgent. Thank you. The other
example from that Bully too is I love her, She's
like a Martian. And then the other one is get
in the car, losers, we're going shopping. Is this like
from Mean Girls? Maybe it feels like Mean Girls, but
(34:12):
that feels like Regina. What's her name? Regina? Yeah, you
gotta get out, Thank you, Thank you. I felt like
another She's a classic classic bully but also sort of likable. Yeah,
classic bully. Um, Bully three, you want to go atmar listen, jerk?

of all, I just hear a cry baby, and I'm like,
it's cry baby. I thought too that and cry baby.
I don't remember the name of the bully. I just remember, guys,
the movie A Christmas Story. I don't remember, Oh my god,
(35:26):

impression was kind of spot on. You were channeling a
clue basically. Yeah, alright, by four, okay, all decide when
he's had enough? Man, the enemy deserves no mercy. Okay.

can get away from you, from you and your chickens

and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells
of grease. I can get away from this shack with
its cheap furniture in this town and it's dollar days,
and it's women that wear uniforms, and it's men that
were overalls. This is interesting the writing. This is like
a man at movie or something. You think, just because
you made a little money, you can get a new
(37:19):
hair do with some expensive clothes and turn yourself into
a lady. But you can't because you'll never be anything
but a comment Trump whose father lived over a grocery store,
whose mother took in washing. Huh definitely uh yeah. This
is definitely like a mean husband, obviously, but being called
a frump frum. Yeah, what what is this from? I
