Speaker 1 (00:03):
Ring Ring Ring Ring. May I please speak with Zoe. Hello,

was like working with you guys. I'm going to start
(00:29):
the show and say that Lamarne just had a birthday
and he's drinking espresso out of a tiny, like very
fancy cop tell us about that. Well, you can get
this tiny little cup at the welcome to our show
merg store with the plug. Oh yeah, you know what
(00:53):
we should We should mention that we have a merch
store now. And it's like, I'm look, God, is I
don't feel this is coming from a bias place, but
I am so excited about this merch. I think it's
some of the most fun merch with like the most
fun designs like ever, and I'm really excited about it.
(01:16):
It's um Nike wanted to to take over because they
realized how good quality of you know, of of of
merch that we had. But we were like, no, Nike,
where can we find that? Everyone's just to find the
Merchant's all linked in all of our our bios. I
think you can go to our Instagram accounts and just
go to our bios and you can check out all
(01:37):
the cool merch and tag as in it, see it
in the world. Especially Hannah loves to put that on
her stories. I do, I do. I'm really happy it.
Also like, it's stuff I don't necessarily look for, so
when you find the good stuff and you share it,
I'm like, oh, so thanks for that. Hand it was
(01:59):
the same are like, I've a bunch of reviews for
this podcast came up and it was just so wonderful
to know how many people are really enjoying this show.
Makes me happy. Thanks. Sorry, I got distracted for a
second because I just looked down at my notes I
took last night when I rewatched Normal, which is the
episode we're doing today, and in all caps, this is
(02:22):
what dis distracted me. Says, um, um, WTF your balls
in a shake? Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get
we'll get to that later. That feels like a thing
that like I need to know. Like this seems like
all the guys keep saying it's a guy thing, but
I'm like, that can't be. If you guys girls, if
(02:48):
you get balls, you do it all right, Let's jump
right in normal, Normal, you know what's crazy? Also to
four more episodes and we're done. Our first season. Crazy incredible,
our first whole season. I've been rewatching. I didn't. Oh boy, okay,
I know. I feel like I blinked. Bam. This podcast
(03:09):
almost has done a whole season of New Girl. Alright, UM,
episode one twenty normal, let's go. Let's go, guys. This
there's some There are so many funny things in this
episode that I totally forgot about. UM. Directed by Jesse Parretts,
who's an old friend of mine, and he is a
(03:32):
great director. He made an awesome movie called The Chateau
years Ago UM with Paul Rudd and Romney Malco and
it's so funny. And I talked about this before, You've
talked about on the podcast before. But I went in
to look for it and I can't find it to
watch it. Do you have a copy? Gonna borrow it?
I probably do somewhere, Yeah, on DVD? Yeah? How about so?
(03:56):
How about this? You upload a copy to your Instagram
page and all the fans out there can go and
watch it for free. Right now. I want to see.
I don't want to be pirateing enjoy. I don't want
to be you know, I don't want to be I
don't This is not how I want to go down.
I'm sorry. So Jesse Karretz directed and Love Roquet Our beloved,
(04:19):
Love Love, Love, Love Love Um. Such a funny episode
and it kicks off at a political fundraiser where just
as that questionable sexy talk again. Yeah, and I had
to skip it because I feel, really it's like watching
my parents or something like you know what I mean.
It's like watching like if you see your parents like
(04:40):
smooth or something when you're a kid, and you're like, oh,
that's what I feel. If I have to watch myself
do like like some kind of sexy talk thing on TV,
I'm like, ah, so, I'm sorry. I passed forward that part.
Do you guys talk about it? I forgot, like I
forgot so much of this episode. It was really fun
to watch again. So I was kind of bracing myself too,
(05:02):
because it's strange when we watch each other do those
kinds of things. Then when you're like, I'm wearing your boxer?
What a weird thing to say. The whole episode is
called normal, and it kicks off a comfortable trying to
get it. Yeah, but how bunchie is that under? You know?
(05:24):
Maybe that's weird? Were the skirts that have a little more,
you know, volumnus skirts. It makes room for some some
boxer shorts. Yeah, your boyfriends. Fun fact, fun factor the
fans out there. Um, ladies, if you come to my
place and you're thinking you're gonna leave with a pair
of boxers, surprised. I don't wear boxers, so you will
leave with nothing. That's it. That's a fun fact. That Wait,
(05:46):
I don't wear underwears. I don't have any you wait,
you just share that's a that's an intimate fact. I
don't know any. I don't believe in them, you know,
quite frankly, I don't believe it. Are you hurting here? First? Society? Okay?
Constricting us? Just a freeman out there in the world,
freeman freeman. It just feels like maybe like like some
(06:11):
materials in pants might be a little chaffey. I'm not gonnad.
He has been rough. It's been rough. Literally, I was
like some like like like raw salvage denim jeans. Feels
like it might be a little chaffey on this a
little bit on the equipment. Russell in this episode goes
(06:38):
goes to Jesse's place for the first time to stay over. Mmm,
that feels like can you mark that for a second, Hannah,
I want to go right right before that was it?
It was right right before that there was a scene
with you, you and Schmidt. We're all in the loft
and then you know, Jesse's looking for CC and then
(06:59):
you come out and Schmid's room and she says, I'm
not used to this yet. Schmidt goes on this, you know,
rant about all the things you guys just did in
that room. Cut to the next scene. Just as laying
on the bed, I just thought, this is this is
this is disgusting. What's weird is that that CC never
(07:20):
gets dressed. Like the next scene, she's still just wearing
a sheet. Yeah, the blankets and we're in I remember
this part of that scene though, really clearly, because you know,
we get to pick how we're going to kind of
be positioned or wearing the room in the scene, and
I thought it was just really sweet to do that,
almost like nineteen eighties movie teenage girl kind of pose.
(07:44):
Right when you're like lying in your stomach on your bed,
your feet are kicked up, kicking back and forth. It's
easy to cover. Uh, it was remember that. Yeah, it
was really easy to shoot, but it was also just
like a sweet moment where you could kind of see
like the girl's friendship and you could kind of see
them as like teenagers like doing that. I remember beating
(08:05):
that intentionally with you because we could have just sat
up and had the conversation too. No, I like, I
like that. It was very sweet that part, and also
disgusting when you think about what Lamore just said that.
I was like the sweet the sheep. Maybe they changed
the sheets for just do a quick change. They totally did.
(08:30):
They totally change the sheets. Schmidt's personality type, he would
change the sheets immediately, he would change He didn't even
notice that because I was so caught up in like
the girlfriendness of the whole thing. Okay, so you're at
Russell comes to the first time and Jess says, you know,
(08:51):
to her roommates, guys just act normal, um, and they
all act we beard in different ways. Yeah. Fine. Normal
is a very important part of this episode. She's like,
I don't feel like well. And the thing is that
first she's like, uh, be cool, and then she's like,
(09:13):
I don't trust that our definition of cool is the same.
But also the definition of normal is clearly not the same.
Nick is like obsessed with Russell, wants to share his
idea book. Schmidt is incredibly competitive with Russell, and I
do feel like Winston is like more normal. He's just
kind of caught up in his his work stuff. He's
(09:37):
also convinced that he's just a rich white man, which
means he's probably a little racist, are you. That's what
I noticed in this episode. A lot about Winston is
that he doesn't he doesn't like rich. Oh who's despicious
(09:57):
his Russell's pretty nice, but his boss is. Yeah, he's
takes a lot of question of all moves. Let's just
say that. Yeah, absolutely, Um, what was it like to work?
So you got to work with Kareem abdul Jabar. So
let me just say this so if anyone knows me,
they know I'm a huge basketball fan. Um, and Kareem
(10:20):
was to me like Prince was to everyone else. I
love Prince being on the show, and I was, you know,
and I'm still I still think about all the time.
But Kareem was mine. He was that was Prince to me.
He was the guy though, like he's like when we
were kids. He was the he was like the guy.
I'm not even a basketball person, and it was like
like he's a god and he's so tall, so he
(10:45):
looked like a little boy in that scene. It was
very sweet. Well because he's so big, so it's like,
but a superman little boy. I put it to you,
like this super manly little boy for all the fans.
Truly a little boy. And I still feel that right
the the all the fans out there who don't know
who Kareem Abdul Jabbar is. He's the in basketball. He's
(11:08):
the all time leading scorer, which is hard that the
thirty eight thousand over thirty eight thousand points thirty eight thousand,
three hundred and eighty seven points to be exact. But
his his unstoppable shot was the sky hook, right. It
was this shot that he was just tossed the ball
over his head and you couldn't till this day. It's
the most unstoppable shot in NBA history. He in there
(11:29):
in this episode, he takes a paper ball over the
over the little uh what you call it, the cubical
the cubical partition. Yes, he does a sky hook over
it and it hits me right in the head. He
was nailing that every single time. He kept hitting me
in the head every single time. And I thought the
(11:51):
accuracy on this man like like hand eye coordination and
absolutely because he can do it with like, you know,
big massive dudes running at him, grabbing on him, and
he could still make that shot. So do you remember
the like when you found out it was going to
be him and he was really coming and the moment
(12:13):
you met him. Yeah, I well, you know, New Girl
was one of my new girls. That obviously the first
time I'm acting really like in this capacity. And you
see how these cool guest stars that we get, especially
in the first season, we got a lot of cool
folks that came on this one. To me, I was
blew my mind so in shock. But even after he
(12:37):
had left, even after he'd gone, I still till this day,
I'm still kind of blank about it because I never
fully I was. I was just recently in Ohio. Dave
Chappelle has this thing called Summer Camp and we were
there and Kareem was I didn't get invited. Yeah, Hannah
(13:00):
and I want to come. You guys should come to
the next one. It's a family affair. You can bring
the families, all right, That sounds like okay? Next? And
I was so nervous to go talk to him, even
though we had worked together, they had been so long.
And I start and I walk up and I start
(13:22):
having this conversation with him, and he look he gives
me is kind of like, I don't remember what you're
talking about, but nice to meet you. I was just
like he blaked it out too. I was like, all right,
because you know he was nervous to meet me too,
I'm sure. Yeah, Well he was so nervous that he
forgot I just remember you guys do a handshake and
(13:46):
you like hold onto his hands for a very long
time in that scene, And I was like, is this
acting or were he just like I need this another
moment of just touching. I wanted to grab him and
embrace him and then roll my body up into his
so I could a little spoon. I could be a little, huge,
(14:10):
huge guest star in this show. I mean it was incredible.
Oh my god, it was so I got to meet
him and I looked like a little tall next ship. Um, okay,
so you had also Phil Hendry was played your boss
Joe Napoli. You guys don't know who he is. He's
(14:30):
like a radio legend and his voice is absolutely incredible,
and the guy couldn't be nicer. But for him to
play this character, he's such a whole I'm like, that
to me is the test of a really good actor
because I hated him in those scenes and after each
(14:52):
take he would just tell jokes and tell old stories
and do voices and stuff like that. The guy is incredible.
He does so there. I can't remember what station it
was on, but they I used to listen to his
show all the time, and he would do like five
different characters that were so I mean, it doesn't sound
(15:13):
like a character. It sounds like a real person. He'd
do all the people calling in and he'd interrupt himself.
It was like, and it's funny because he does the
thing where he does your voice, and it's like nowhere
near what he does on his show. Like he'd interrupt
himself in such an accurate way. He'd have like I
never saw him do a lot, but he'd have like
two different microphones so that they could like play him.
(15:36):
But anyway, when he when he is mimicking or mocking Winston,
he's mocking the fact that Winston used to be this
basketball player. M So here we are, you know, for
the folks out there keeping tally. This is another job
that Winston. So in this episode we realized Winston is
(15:57):
trying to quit the nannying job to become a radio
host potentially, and he has to work his way up.
So so far we have radio host, nanny and job,
basketball player, football player. I forget what else we have.
But if you're keeping it's only season one, folks just
(16:23):
try and stuff out, trying it all out well. But
here I think it does emphasize something about being being
an athlete that is one of these tough things that
to be, like say in the NBA, like you have
to be the top top top like point one percent
(16:44):
of all basketball players, and you could be the best
in your school. You could be like the best kid
on your team from you know, like from elementary school,
and you can be like everyone could think you're phenomenal,
and then you go and try to become a profest
national and everyone says you suck, and it's it must
(17:04):
be so hard to go from like being the greatest
like being you know, but to be at a professional
level of playing sports is just such an incredible feat
in itself. But like once you get there, if you're
not the best player, people will really not be nice. Yeah,
(17:26):
because and you have to put it in perspective as well.
You know, for fans, we only see the end result.
We only see you try to make it to the NBA.
Didn't work out, Yeah, you must not be good, but
you don't you try to. If I played with a
person who who gets cut from the NBA or any
(17:47):
professional sport, someone who gets cut, they will destroy me
and still makes such quick work out of me and
makes it will be so embarrassing. That's how good professionals
are the people, you know. A kid speaking of professionals,
my cot Max in an unprofessional moment in this episode,
(18:09):
and it makes me laugh because I feel like maybe
some like real fans of this show now can tell,
but we all for sure can tell when someone actually breaks,
when they're actually laughing, and when it makes it to
the show that means they were zero takes, that someone
got through without breaking, which also makes me laugh. And
(18:31):
it's when Max is at the table and you know,
you know what I'm gonna say, when he goes avocado
woll he has to say it, and he literally says,
I acatto. He goes what's the once and have Acatto
Wold and you see Max just fully broken laughing through it,
(18:53):
And it's one of my favorite moments. They don't often
like make the show, but when they do, it's my
favorite because I just know that means he couldn't or
whoever it is, could not get through one bake. I
love that so much because it makes it so much funnier. Yeah,
I loved I actually loved like all the roles that
everybody was playing with Russell in this in this episode, um,
(19:17):
and the fact I was like, what what a Schmidt
perfect thing to kind of hone in on that he
somehow thinks he can compete with Russell clearly is like
much more established in the world, like, but that Schmidt
has this kind of like very healthy ego um, and
and that he's like being so mean to him. The
(19:41):
label check moment also got me. It was so funny
trying to do this like quick what are you wearing?
Moment is just so funny. I love it so much.
And also it's you don't think of you would think
in a comedy of like playing on that trope of
women caring about what label you're wearing, and to see
(20:02):
um Schmidt so committed to finding so fight the wrestling
that man to the ground. Also, the big thing about
this episode, sorry, Lamuri. The big thing by this episode
I feel like everybody has always talked to me about
is it feels it's the first time you hear some
sort of explanation of what true American is and the rules,
(20:25):
which is I think what kicks started this whole thing
of there must be a way to play it because
there's this episode where we get some sense that there
is structure to it. Um. And listening to the explanation
and how the explanation devolves the more they drink is
really funny too, because it makes no sense even when
we explain it, absolutely no sense. Yeah, with a loose
(20:50):
candy Land structure, what is that? What are you talking about?
There's little things I guess you could build it around, right,
like the Kentucky whiskey is the king of the castle.
The floor is lava, right, there's four zones, a trail
of chairs, like I can see now rewatching the episode.
(21:12):
You could start to pull things out. But it's forensic.
It's forensic. That's that's right. It's a law and Order episode. Yeah,
it is the law and Order episode. Um, But I'm
glad that people you know are out there getting you know,
(21:36):
getting pleasure from playing True American. Yes, but you gotta
do it you, I will say this guy's you gotta
do it safely. The stories that I'm hearing back from
you guys, it's just ridiculous, and it's you can't be
you can't be out here playing True American. That's the
part that's scary is you watch the pile of cans
that start to happen, and you go like, oh, I
feel like someone's about to be hospitalized. If this is
an accurate reflection of how much alcohol is being you
(22:00):
have to fill a certain amount of space, like like
from a like you know, set decoration perspective and maybe
not thinking like these people have really gone into alcohol
poisoning territory. I hope, I hope the folks out there havn't.
But here's what we do want. We do want to
hear your experiences, so you can send us voicemails of
(22:23):
all of your True American experiences, the bad, the ugly,
the ugly I really wanted bad, the really bad, really bad? Yes,
or the rules you use. I would love to know
how you've actually made this into a game and the
rules you have fashioned. Oh sorry, go ahead from your
(22:47):
forensic investigation American. Yeah exactly. We want to hear you
explain it. And I was gonna say, it's kind of
like how there are million types of poker, you know,
M like there can be a million types of American, right, Yeah,
so send is like a voicemail. Send it in of
your true American experience, the rules you use the craziest
(23:07):
stories at Welcome to our show podcast at gmail dot com.
And we can play him on the show. And we're
going to take a break. Yes, we'll be back after
these messages. Welcome and we are back. You know we're back.
(23:33):
We when we broke, we were talking about true America.
I want to I just want to say this one thing.
We were doing shots of whiskey at the at the
table at the end and we will get into the
real apps of it all. And iced tea, yes exactly,
it wasn't the bottle truly iced tea sometimes sometimes coffee
(23:58):
sometimes I want to ask for depending on how the
day got Yeah, um so the bottle of Jack Daniels.
It's called Jake Denzels. Yes, yes, I remember Jake Denzels. Wait,
(24:19):
we we used to laugh so much about the fake
alcohol like that because for for yeah, Heisler and then
there was like another one I can't remember, but in
for props, you can't use like the real thing unless
you pay for it, so they have all these like
prop brands that are fake. And Jake Denzils was probably
(24:41):
my favorite because Jake Jake Johnson was like, oh man,
i just had so much Jake Denzils, so I'm just
obliterated on Jake Denzil's. So they're they're at this table
in their having this conversation. They're trying to grow up
(25:03):
to Russell. After the wild True American drinking game, Cec
comes home, pulls Schmidt into the disgusting room that they
hang out in, and she's a really pull um. That's
what I love about their dynamics. Sometimes she's just like,
I'm gonna go get near bed and he's like, yeah,
I'm out to you later. That's to make a choice
(25:29):
right now, yes I'm going. Um. But but we see
the beginnings, the beginnings of an argument or a disagreement
for the first time between Jess and Russell. Yeah. I
mean what's interesting too, is it brings up a big
I think, a big conversation point in this episode. UM,
(25:52):
and I think it's a life thing too, which is
CC gives you advice that it's very healthy for um,
you to fight in relationships. It's healthy to have a fight.
What do we think of this advice? I think it's
true because not that not fight, but like if where
you have disagreements like that, that's what brings people closer together. Now,
(26:17):
now it's how you fight, not not that you are
having an argument. You have to be respectful when you're
having an argument. Otherwise, if you're exactly if you if
you're if you're you know, you know, fighting dirty or something, um,
you know, you know, call name calling, all that not
(26:40):
nice stuff that you know that can cause problems. But
I think if you have a disagreement, it's totally normal
and totally healthy to work it out in a mature way.
So I think enough for sure to express how you
really feel, even if you know the other person doesn't
feel the same way. Yeah, that be a disagreement and
(27:01):
it should be okay. Otherwise it's just like suppress, repress,
and then it will come out in other ways. That's
my thought. I thought this was a great advice from
c C to Jess. Yeah, anybody out there knows me,
knows that I don't argue, so I can't really chime
in on this. I'm such a mild mannered Uh you
are thought, Yeah, one of the relationships and I do
(27:22):
something messed up and they want to scream and they
want to yell, I just give them the bow, you
know what I mean. I just kind of back my
way out of their lives forever. Um, you are really
like nice, and I mean you're like, you're not like
a little mouse, but you are pretty nice, pretty nice. Well,
you know, I don't disagree with angry women. Um of
(27:53):
One of my favorite moments of this episode is like
Elvin Um doing you with solid I mean, in a way,
they could have sent you to jail forever for sure.
First bordering that was yeah, a little too much. He
loved you too much, But it was like the idea
of a friend seeing what was best for you and
then making the hard decision for you. That essence of
(28:15):
it was incredibly sweet. So be like, there's no safety
net anymore, you gotta go exactly he could have I mean,
he could have chosen he could have literally just said no, seriously,
I've outgrown this relationship to you should go. And it
would have made Winston feel like, you know what, maybe
you're right, but instead he threatened him with like prison, Yeah,
(28:37):
that's that's I don't know. We were bordering at least
getting destroyed on a on a nanny board, Yeah for sure.
Probably nanny prospects just got completely wiped out about um.
But the cool thing I liked about the Elvin and
Elvin and Winston dynamic that Elvin was kind of like
(29:01):
even though he even though it's like this is the
job for Winston, Elvin is such a kid, but he's
so smart and he's so elevated that it felt like
the roles were actually reversed and in their conversations and
you'll see in later episodes as well, in their relationship,
Elvin is always the one teaching Winston something, you know,
(29:21):
and even in a moment like this, he's doing it again. Um.
And that's why I loved about the dynamic. It wasn't
just a typical um, you know, you're a kid doing
stupid stuff. It's like, no, Winston, you're an adult doing
stupid stuff, and this kid is the one who has
to check he's precocious that and but he sends him
(29:42):
back to his job, which we were talking about this earlier. Um,
is this something that folks do? Joe Napoli is such
a d head too to everyone who works for him
that the advice that Russell gives Winston is to dip
his is vo into his his his milkshake. That's so
(30:06):
disgusting to me. I can't believe Russell did that suggested
to go. The part that was hard for like me
to process is it seems just as much of a
punishment to who's doing the dipping as the person that
has to drink the dips. And I'm like, you've put
(30:26):
in some cold we like the experience. Maybe it just
feels like a weird There's a million things you could
put in there to ruin someone's day, but it sounds
like you got to ruin your day first. I don't understand.
That's the part where I was like, as a woman,
I do not understand doing that to yourself. Very sticky,
(30:52):
that's right. I didn't mean. It's not that hard. Um,
it's not that hard in my previous Again, anyone who
knows me, they know that there's a process to it. Um,
I like, I'd like to fully strip down completely, I
to hang my clothes up. Did you go full method
for this bit on the show, like you wanted to
(31:12):
really experience it so you could sell the acting part? Okay, alright,
tu Well? I called Dallas, Dallas props guy, shout out
to Dallas, and I said, Dallas, I said, man, I
really want to go for it in the scene. And
so I said, don't don't make sure that the milkshake
isn't cold, right, Dallas, What a prankster. The milkshake was cold,
and so it was a little difficult for me to do.
(31:35):
So it was a very messy, sticky situation that I
had to, you know, get out of in the middle
of the scene. But it did not happen. Never everybody,
he's a good actor. When he said he there was
a possibility that you were like, wait, did he Well,
I won't. People, you were okay, all right, you did
(31:59):
That's okay, you did it. Um send us your power
play stories. If you've ever had to power play your boss,
please send us the voicemails you want to hear all
about it. I remember like people when I was growing
up and be like, oh, I put their toothbrush in
the toilet. Gosh, it was so disgusting. It's such a
(32:21):
gross thing. And I think it's like a kid bullying
thing that I just remember people saying that they had
done to someone. So I always used to keep my
toothbrush like in the top drawer in my bathroom around
my life. They can't. You know, what you should do
is hide your toothbrush in the back of the toilet
and they will never be Here's where I keep my
(32:45):
toothbrush in the tank of the toilet. Never find it here.
Um okay, we have to talk because about this fight
between um uh Max and Jake, Nick and Schmidt, because
I was crying laughing, I've completely yeah, it's really yeah,
it's really the realization of relapse, relapse, relapse when they're
(33:11):
pitching to Rustle. Honestly, um, it put me on the floor.
I thought it was so so really it's also just
a Swiss army knife that's bigger than a Swiss on
the back of your phone. My favorite part about that
is them is them sliding into when you when you
are having your argument, them sliding into the kitchen to
(33:33):
start pitching you. That was one of the funniest things
I've seen Um and Jake's the differences between their characters.
It makes so much sense, you know, optimistic, like idiot,
this idiot, you know, businessman. It was so funny to Yeah,
(33:55):
it was so funny importance in business of timing and
reading the room. There's a very hungover man in a
fight with his girlfriend and they're like, you know what
this moment, this moment we're gonna choose. Um oh gosh.
I completely had forgotten about it, and I just thought
(34:16):
it was one of the funniest things ever. Not gonna
lie to you though, I'm not gonna lie to you
though I would, I would buy that would Yeah, I think.
I mean, I'm sure you've heard worse. For sure, I've
heard worse names for for products, for weird apps. There's
(34:40):
two things that happened though in the nick world of
this episode that I didn't realize and I don't know
we ever talked about for the rest of the series.
One he's one eighth Cherokee. Yeah. And then the other
is that apparently he quotes Aladdin's a Whole New World
all the time. Does he ever do it again in
the series, Like I'm gonna try to pay attention and
(35:01):
see if I catch it again. So besides where's the Bear,
you gotta find where's the Aladdin quote? Also, you guys,
I don't want to talk about where's the Bear in
this episode because, um, I can find it on the
fridge and it makes me mad if I can only
find it on the fridge. But I'll say this to
our listeners, you have been incredible because when I really
can't find it, I get d m s from these
(35:22):
super sleuths who actually can find it in the episodes.
So what I'm going to try to do then is
kind of make a master list of all of the
episodes at the end of season one when we get
to our twenty four episode, and list where all the
bears are found, some by me and a lot by
the listeners of this podcast. So if you find one
that's not on the fridge for this episode, tell me,
(35:44):
and I'm going to put it on this list and
I'll drop it when we do there season finale. Oh
that's good, that's really I found the bear. I'm not.
I'm just not going to say anything. Are you the
one dming me? Just using different accounts? Do actually know
where all the bears? Are true. Oh if that were true,
(36:08):
if you like had the time to like sit around
and create fake accounts to to catfish Hannah, I would
love break Sinatra is reel to big Um. We're going
to go to break and when we come back, we
(36:28):
will play around of true American. Welcome all right, we're back.
Welcome back, everybody. We're gonna play a round of true
(36:49):
American are brilliant. Producer Joel will put together yet another
amazing round uh. This week, both Just and Nick conveyed
their feelings with Disney songs. We're going to guess the
(37:10):
Disney movie based on obscure lyrics. Let's see. Okay, here's
the first one. Now is your moment floating in a
blue lagoon? Just because the lagoon, I'm going to say
a little mermaid? Yeah, yeah, fun fact about that. I
(37:36):
had to sing that in men Schore. Did you really?
Oh my god, that's so cute, A little crabby, Yeah,
that's I love it. I actually when you said that,
it made sense. But I don't remember this lyric at all.
And I thought, like, I know that was like that
came out when I was like a kid, so like
(37:56):
that was like my movie. And I didn't know it,
So I'm like, I know that sound backwards and forwards,
um lamour, and you want to take the next one.
Though my face leaves people screaming, there's a child behind
it dreaming. No, laman, read the next thing. Don't share
something personal right now, Read the next leric. Is this
(38:22):
like um quasimoto um the Hunchback of Notre Dame. That's
a good guy, but it is not that g also
a good guess, but no is Shrek. Shrek is not
a Disney movie iron Man. My face leaves people screaming
(38:52):
there's a child behind it dreaming. This is a very
aggressive laric. Is this like a bad guy and uh
and a movie storto villain? Oh it's got to be
mm hmm. I don't know. Though my face leaves people.
(39:13):
You will give us a tune? Sing it uh sing
sing child behind it dreaming. You have a very pretty voice.
But I still okay. Is it like an old school Disney?
(39:38):
New school Disney? It's newer? Oh? Whoa whoa Malana, No,
I'll give it you. It's tangled. I've got a dream
like Rapscallion thinking about their inner Oh, Rapscallion, Is this
when they're gathering the bar. Yeah, that's a good scene.
(40:00):
I love that movie alright. Number three, Your daughter will
love it once she's like two or three. She's still
on Coco Melon into Well in Ghento is like amazing. Yeah,
she's still rocking out to those um okay, Hannah Bruno's
(40:22):
song in my head. Number three. I know that love
will lead us and find a way to guide me,
do you? I know that love will lead is and
find a way to guide me to you. Is this
gonna be Aladdin? I was thinking Aladdin too. It's not
a it's not a carpet that could, you know, lead
(40:42):
him somewhere sen era? Okay, so that that would be
like Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, right King,
Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, that's that whole. It's the
good nineties era of Disney. We're obviously not right because
(41:05):
we say, I would say is a major Disney princess movie.
Oh oh, it's a little it's okay, Peter Pan, but
still from the Peter Pan is from like the fifties.
I think it's from the nineties, and it's obscure, uh,
(41:26):
like Little Mermaid too. American Tale is American tale. Disney no,
but write essence. Um, oh yeah, this is no. It
involves the mouse. Disney doesn't involve a mouse. It rah.
(41:49):
It involves several breaths of dog Hotel for Dogs, Oliver
and a hundred one dominations. We are terrible at You're
the same breeds? Does it say about us that we
were able to identify the saddest songs of all times? Right,
(42:13):
and we cannot, for the life of us identify like
basically any Disney lyrics. The group within the movie that
thinks that it's called power line, If that is it
all helpful to you? I think I've ever seen that
in the tramp that's from this like fifties or sixties.
(42:38):
It's from a goofy movie. It's called Eye. It is
called classic Disney movie here for nine hundred years, and
those words would never have fallen out of my mouth.
But can I say I on every weekend we got
my kids, and I go on Disney Plus and like
pick up Disney movies. So I feel like I thought,
(42:58):
when when I first read this was our true American
this week, that I was going to be good at this.
Like if you haven't seen it, though, fabulous movie. Okay,
what's called the movie? The song is called Eye to
Eye Okay, alright, last one Zoe, Alright, my heart has
(43:23):
wings and I can fly. I'll touch every star in
the sky. Um. That's from Peter Pan. I think this
is such a good guest, same era, very classic Disney.
UM Disney's Reading Rainbow. Um. Also don't watch Peter Pan
(43:45):
because it's problematic. That's why I will not put on
for my kids. Daddy Duck Story, Mickey Mouse Story, Pluto Story,
a classic Princess. I'll give you that classic sleeping Sleeping Beauty.
Sleeping Beauty is Cinderella Les. I remember like the when
(44:10):
they came out, because like, I think Sleeping Beauty is
fifty nine, like I think. I looked at the chronological era.
Is my favorite UM Disney movie color palettes are Alice
in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty, and I was like, I
think Alice and Wonderland's fifty five and Sleeping Beauties fifty nine,
and I was like, I love the color palette of
(44:31):
the fifties. When with Cinderella, do we know Cinderella was
around around like maybe early sixties, like maybe I think
like sixty one, maybe something it's really close, really close,
but the color palette is different. It's whoa, it's earlier.
Oh shoot, sorry I'm wrong. Nineteen other way, ten years before.
(44:57):
You go out there and watch Alice Alice's Wonderland Bakery. Um,
it's a great for kids. I happen to be on it.
It's fine. So Disney Junior Plus or something. Can we
talk about our Disney Junior Plus shows? Mira Royal Detective, great,
great show that one. Should we do one together? I
(45:20):
would definitely do it. Our next show. That's our next show. Yeah,
that's our next show. It's on Disney Plus Junior. There
four minutes long. My kids were asking to download some
Disney Plus Junior shows for the plane, like we're going
on a trip, and they're like, I want this one,
and I was like great, And then I was like, okay,
these are four minutes long. This is like not plane
(45:46):
four minutes long. Please give me that episode. Please. I
need a lot more episodes. You're flying private, just have
the pilot. We're gonna wrap this episode up. We're wrapping
this episode up. I also love that this whole like
like the real episode of New Girl that we're watching today.
Normal was all about True American and how it made
no sense and it's a game that's very difficult to play.
(46:07):
And then we played Your American on the show today
and we were terrible, terrible, terrible and asked for so
many clues and helps and hands sand just like American,
it made no sense. Well, on that note, I love
you guys. Can I just say one thing quick? Yeah?
Of course. I thought. What could be really fun is
(46:29):
after we do our episode, rewatch episode, so we will
have finished season one, we could all do um uh,
have a glass answer, have a glass of wine. And
for all the questions that have been sent in as
voice memos to our email address, maybe not all, but
(46:51):
a lot of them, a lot of them. Do as
many as we can squeeze onto an episode. So any
any questions, especially about season one, and send them in
and we will spend an episode Zoe, Lauren and I
um answer. We can drinking lots of wine. Absolutely absolutely,
while we are welcome to our show merch yes, yes,

fun designs like ever, and I'm really excited about it.
(01:16):
It's um Nike wanted to to take over because they
realized how good quality of you know, of of of

I'm like, oh, so thanks for that. Hand it was
(01:59):
the same are like, I've a bunch of reviews for
this podcast came up and it was just so wonderful
to know how many people are really enjoying this show.
Makes me happy. Thanks. Sorry, I got distracted for a
second because I just looked down at my notes I
took last night when I rewatched Normal, which is the
episode we're doing today, and in all caps, this is
(02:22):
what dis distracted me. Says, um, um, WTF your balls
in a shake? Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get
we'll get to that later. That feels like a thing
that like I need to know. Like this seems like
all the guys keep saying it's a guy thing, but
I'm like, that can't be. If you guys girls, if
(02:48):
you get balls, you do it all right, Let's jump
right in normal, Normal, you know what's crazy? Also to
four more episodes and we're done. Our first season. Crazy incredible,
our first whole season. I've been rewatching. I didn't. Oh boy, okay,
I know. I feel like I blinked. Bam. This podcast
(03:09):
almost has done a whole season of New Girl. Alright, UM,
episode one twenty normal, let's go. Let's go, guys. This
there's some There are so many funny things in this
episode that I totally forgot about. UM. Directed by Jesse Parretts,
who's an old friend of mine, and he is a
(03:32):
great director. He made an awesome movie called The Chateau
years Ago UM with Paul Rudd and Romney Malco and
it's so funny. And I talked about this before, You've
talked about on the podcast before. But I went in
to look for it and I can't find it to
watch it. Do you have a copy? Gonna borrow it?
I probably do somewhere, Yeah, on DVD? Yeah? How about so?
(03:56):
How about this? You upload a copy to your Instagram
page and all the fans out there can go and
watch it for free. Right now. I want to see.
I don't want to be pirateing enjoy. I don't want
to be you know, I don't want to be I
don't This is not how I want to go down.
I'm sorry. So Jesse Karretz directed and Love Roquet Our beloved,
(04:19):
Love Love, Love, Love Love Um. Such a funny episode
and it kicks off at a political fundraiser where just
as that questionable sexy talk again. Yeah, and I had
to skip it because I feel, really it's like watching
my parents or something like you know what I mean.
It's like watching like if you see your parents like
(04:40):
smooth or something when you're a kid, and you're like, oh,
that's what I feel. If I have to watch myself
do like like some kind of sexy talk thing on TV,
I'm like, ah, so, I'm sorry. I passed forward that part.
Do you guys talk about it? I forgot, like I
forgot so much of this episode. It was really fun
to watch again. So I was kind of bracing myself too,
(05:02):
because it's strange when we watch each other do those
kinds of things. Then when you're like, I'm wearing your boxer?
What a weird thing to say. The whole episode is
called normal, and it kicks off a comfortable trying to
get it. Yeah, but how bunchie is that under? You know?
(05:24):
Maybe that's weird? Were the skirts that have a little more,
you know, volumnus skirts. It makes room for some some
boxer shorts. Yeah, your boyfriends. Fun fact, fun factor the
fans out there. Um, ladies, if you come to my
place and you're thinking you're gonna leave with a pair
of boxers, surprised. I don't wear boxers, so you will
leave with nothing. That's it. That's a fun fact. That Wait,
(05:46):
I don't wear underwears. I don't have any you wait,
you just share that's a that's an intimate fact. I
don't know any. I don't believe in them, you know,
quite frankly, I don't believe it. Are you hurting here? First? Society? Okay?
Constricting us? Just a freeman out there in the world,
freeman freeman. It just feels like maybe like like some
(06:11):
materials in pants might be a little chaffey. I'm not gonnad.
He has been rough. It's been rough. Literally, I was
like some like like like raw salvage denim jeans. Feels
like it might be a little chaffey on this a
little bit on the equipment. Russell in this episode goes
(06:38):
goes to Jesse's place for the first time to stay over. Mmm,
that feels like can you mark that for a second, Hannah,
I want to go right right before that was it?
It was right right before that there was a scene
with you, you and Schmidt. We're all in the loft
and then you know, Jesse's looking for CC and then
(06:59):
you come out and Schmid's room and she says, I'm
not used to this yet. Schmidt goes on this, you know,
rant about all the things you guys just did in
that room. Cut to the next scene. Just as laying
on the bed, I just thought, this is this is
this is disgusting. What's weird is that that CC never
(07:20):
gets dressed. Like the next scene, she's still just wearing
a sheet. Yeah, the blankets and we're in I remember
this part of that scene though, really clearly, because you know,
we get to pick how we're going to kind of
be positioned or wearing the room in the scene, and
I thought it was just really sweet to do that,
almost like nineteen eighties movie teenage girl kind of pose.
(07:44):
Right when you're like lying in your stomach on your bed,
your feet are kicked up, kicking back and forth. It's
easy to cover. Uh, it was remember that. Yeah, it
was really easy to shoot, but it was also just
like a sweet moment where you could kind of see
like the girl's friendship and you could kind of see
them as like teenagers like doing that. I remember beating
(08:05):
that intentionally with you because we could have just sat
up and had the conversation too. No, I like, I
like that. It was very sweet that part, and also
disgusting when you think about what Lamore just said that.
I was like the sweet the sheep. Maybe they changed
the sheets for just do a quick change. They totally did.
(08:30):
They totally change the sheets. Schmidt's personality type, he would
change the sheets immediately, he would change He didn't even
notice that because I was so caught up in like
the girlfriendness of the whole thing. Okay, so you're at
Russell comes to the first time and Jess says, you know,
(08:51):
to her roommates, guys just act normal, um, and they
all act we beard in different ways. Yeah. Fine. Normal
is a very important part of this episode. She's like,
I don't feel like well. And the thing is that
first she's like, uh, be cool, and then she's like,
(09:13):
I don't trust that our definition of cool is the same.
But also the definition of normal is clearly not the same.
Nick is like obsessed with Russell, wants to share his
idea book. Schmidt is incredibly competitive with Russell, and I
do feel like Winston is like more normal. He's just
kind of caught up in his his work stuff. He's
(09:37):
also convinced that he's just a rich white man, which
means he's probably a little racist, are you. That's what
I noticed in this episode. A lot about Winston is
that he doesn't he doesn't like rich. Oh who's despicious
(09:57):
his Russell's pretty nice, but his boss is. Yeah, he's
takes a lot of question of all moves. Let's just
say that. Yeah, absolutely, Um, what was it like to work?
So you got to work with Kareem abdul Jabar. So
let me just say this so if anyone knows me,
they know I'm a huge basketball fan. Um, and Kareem
(10:20):
was to me like Prince was to everyone else. I
love Prince being on the show, and I was, you know,
and I'm still I still think about all the time.
But Kareem was mine. He was that was Prince to me.
He was the guy though, like he's like when we
were kids. He was the he was like the guy.
I'm not even a basketball person, and it was like
like he's a god and he's so tall, so he
(10:45):
looked like a little boy in that scene. It was
very sweet. Well because he's so big, so it's like,
but a superman little boy. I put it to you,
like this super manly little boy for all the fans.
Truly a little boy. And I still feel that right
the the all the fans out there who don't know
who Kareem Abdul Jabbar is. He's the in basketball. He's
(11:08):
the all time leading scorer, which is hard that the
thirty eight thousand over thirty eight thousand points thirty eight thousand,
three hundred and eighty seven points to be exact. But
his his unstoppable shot was the sky hook, right. It
was this shot that he was just tossed the ball
over his head and you couldn't till this day. It's
the most unstoppable shot in NBA history. He in there
(11:29):
in this episode, he takes a paper ball over the
over the little uh what you call it, the cubical
the cubical partition. Yes, he does a sky hook over
it and it hits me right in the head. He
was nailing that every single time. He kept hitting me
in the head every single time. And I thought the
(11:51):
accuracy on this man like like hand eye coordination and
absolutely because he can do it with like, you know,
big massive dudes running at him, grabbing on him, and
he could still make that shot. So do you remember
the like when you found out it was going to
be him and he was really coming and the moment
(12:13):
you met him. Yeah, I well, you know, New Girl
was one of my new girls. That obviously the first
time I'm acting really like in this capacity. And you
see how these cool guest stars that we get, especially
in the first season, we got a lot of cool
folks that came on this one. To me, I was
blew my mind so in shock. But even after he
(12:37):
had left, even after he'd gone, I still till this day,
I'm still kind of blank about it because I never
fully I was. I was just recently in Ohio. Dave
Chappelle has this thing called Summer Camp and we were
there and Kareem was I didn't get invited. Yeah, Hannah
(13:00):
and I want to come. You guys should come to
the next one. It's a family affair. You can bring
the families, all right, That sounds like okay? Next? And
I was so nervous to go talk to him, even
though we had worked together, they had been so long.
And I start and I walk up and I start
(13:22):
having this conversation with him, and he look he gives
me is kind of like, I don't remember what you're
talking about, but nice to meet you. I was just
like he blaked it out too. I was like, all right,
because you know he was nervous to meet me too,
I'm sure. Yeah, Well he was so nervous that he
forgot I just remember you guys do a handshake and
(13:46):
you like hold onto his hands for a very long
time in that scene, And I was like, is this
acting or were he just like I need this another
moment of just touching. I wanted to grab him and
embrace him and then roll my body up into his
so I could a little spoon. I could be a little, huge,
(14:10):
huge guest star in this show. I mean it was incredible.
Oh my god, it was so I got to meet
him and I looked like a little tall next ship. Um, okay,
so you had also Phil Hendry was played your boss
Joe Napoli. You guys don't know who he is. He's
(14:30):
like a radio legend and his voice is absolutely incredible,
and the guy couldn't be nicer. But for him to
play this character, he's such a whole I'm like, that
to me is the test of a really good actor
because I hated him in those scenes and after each
(14:52):
take he would just tell jokes and tell old stories
and do voices and stuff like that. The guy is incredible.
He does so there. I can't remember what station it
was on, but they I used to listen to his
show all the time, and he would do like five
different characters that were so I mean, it doesn't sound
(15:13):
like a character. It sounds like a real person. He'd
do all the people calling in and he'd interrupt himself.
It was like, and it's funny because he does the
thing where he does your voice, and it's like nowhere
near what he does on his show. Like he'd interrupt
himself in such an accurate way. He'd have like I
never saw him do a lot, but he'd have like
two different microphones so that they could like play him.
(15:36):
But anyway, when he when he is mimicking or mocking Winston,
he's mocking the fact that Winston used to be this
basketball player. M So here we are, you know, for
the folks out there keeping tally. This is another job
that Winston. So in this episode we realized Winston is
(15:57):
trying to quit the nannying job to become a radio
host potentially, and he has to work his way up.
So so far we have radio host, nanny and job,
basketball player, football player. I forget what else we have.
But if you're keeping it's only season one, folks just
(16:23):
try and stuff out, trying it all out well. But
here I think it does emphasize something about being being
an athlete that is one of these tough things that
to be, like say in the NBA, like you have
to be the top top top like point one percent
(16:44):
of all basketball players, and you could be the best
in your school. You could be like the best kid
on your team from you know, like from elementary school,
and you can be like everyone could think you're phenomenal,
and then you go and try to become a profest
national and everyone says you suck, and it's it must
(17:04):
be so hard to go from like being the greatest
like being you know, but to be at a professional
level of playing sports is just such an incredible feat
in itself. But like once you get there, if you're
not the best player, people will really not be nice. Yeah,
(17:26):
because and you have to put it in perspective as well.
You know, for fans, we only see the end result.
We only see you try to make it to the NBA.
Didn't work out, Yeah, you must not be good, but
you don't you try to. If I played with a
person who who gets cut from the NBA or any
(17:47):
professional sport, someone who gets cut, they will destroy me
and still makes such quick work out of me and
makes it will be so embarrassing. That's how good professionals
are the people, you know. A kid speaking of professionals,
my cot Max in an unprofessional moment in this episode,
(18:09):
and it makes me laugh because I feel like maybe
some like real fans of this show now can tell,
but we all for sure can tell when someone actually breaks,
when they're actually laughing, and when it makes it to
the show that means they were zero takes, that someone
got through without breaking, which also makes me laugh. And
(18:31):
it's when Max is at the table and you know,
you know what I'm gonna say, when he goes avocado
woll he has to say it, and he literally says,
I acatto. He goes what's the once and have Acatto
Wold and you see Max just fully broken laughing through it,
(18:53):
And it's one of my favorite moments. They don't often
like make the show, but when they do, it's my
favorite because I just know that means he couldn't or
whoever it is, could not get through one bake. I
love that so much because it makes it so much funnier. Yeah,
I loved I actually loved like all the roles that
everybody was playing with Russell in this in this episode, um,
(19:17):
and the fact I was like, what what a Schmidt
perfect thing to kind of hone in on that he
somehow thinks he can compete with Russell clearly is like
much more established in the world, like, but that Schmidt
has this kind of like very healthy ego um, and
and that he's like being so mean to him. The
(19:41):
label check moment also got me. It was so funny
trying to do this like quick what are you wearing?
Moment is just so funny. I love it so much.
And also it's you don't think of you would think
in a comedy of like playing on that trope of
women caring about what label you're wearing, and to see
(20:02):
um Schmidt so committed to finding so fight the wrestling
that man to the ground. Also, the big thing about
this episode, sorry, Lamuri. The big thing by this episode
I feel like everybody has always talked to me about
is it feels it's the first time you hear some
sort of explanation of what true American is and the rules,
(20:25):
which is I think what kicks started this whole thing
of there must be a way to play it because
there's this episode where we get some sense that there
is structure to it. Um. And listening to the explanation
and how the explanation devolves the more they drink is
really funny too, because it makes no sense even when
we explain it, absolutely no sense. Yeah, with a loose
(20:50):
candy Land structure, what is that? What are you talking about?
There's little things I guess you could build it around, right,
like the Kentucky whiskey is the king of the castle.
The floor is lava, right, there's four zones, a trail
of chairs, like I can see now rewatching the episode.
(21:12):
You could start to pull things out. But it's forensic.
It's forensic. That's that's right. It's a law and Order episode. Yeah,
it is the law and Order episode. Um, But I'm
glad that people you know are out there getting you know,
(21:36):
getting pleasure from playing True American. Yes, but you gotta
do it you, I will say this guy's you gotta
do it safely. The stories that I'm hearing back from
you guys, it's just ridiculous, and it's you can't be
you can't be out here playing True American. That's the
part that's scary is you watch the pile of cans
that start to happen, and you go like, oh, I
feel like someone's about to be hospitalized. If this is
an accurate reflection of how much alcohol is being you
(22:00):
have to fill a certain amount of space, like like
from a like you know, set decoration perspective and maybe
not thinking like these people have really gone into alcohol
poisoning territory. I hope, I hope the folks out there havn't.
But here's what we do want. We do want to
hear your experiences, so you can send us voicemails of
(22:23):
all of your True American experiences, the bad, the ugly,
the ugly I really wanted bad, the really bad, really bad? Yes,
or the rules you use. I would love to know
how you've actually made this into a game and the
rules you have fashioned. Oh sorry, go ahead from your
(22:47):
forensic investigation American. Yeah exactly. We want to hear you
explain it. And I was gonna say, it's kind of
like how there are million types of poker, you know,
M like there can be a million types of American, right, Yeah,
so send is like a voicemail. Send it in of
your true American experience, the rules you use the craziest
(23:07):
stories at Welcome to our show podcast at gmail dot com.
And we can play him on the show. And we're
going to take a break. Yes, we'll be back after
these messages. Welcome and we are back. You know we're back.
(23:33):
We when we broke, we were talking about true America.
I want to I just want to say this one thing.
We were doing shots of whiskey at the at the
table at the end and we will get into the
real apps of it all. And iced tea, yes exactly,
it wasn't the bottle truly iced tea sometimes sometimes coffee
(23:58):
sometimes I want to ask for depending on how the
day got Yeah, um so the bottle of Jack Daniels.
It's called Jake Denzels. Yes, yes, I remember Jake Denzels. Wait,
(24:19):
we we used to laugh so much about the fake
alcohol like that because for for yeah, Heisler and then
there was like another one I can't remember, but in
for props, you can't use like the real thing unless
you pay for it, so they have all these like
prop brands that are fake. And Jake Denzils was probably
(24:41):
my favorite because Jake Jake Johnson was like, oh man,
i just had so much Jake Denzils, so I'm just
obliterated on Jake Denzil's. So they're they're at this table
in their having this conversation. They're trying to grow up
(25:03):
to Russell. After the wild True American drinking game, Cec
comes home, pulls Schmidt into the disgusting room that they
hang out in, and she's a really pull um. That's
what I love about their dynamics. Sometimes she's just like,
I'm gonna go get near bed and he's like, yeah,
I'm out to you later. That's to make a choice
(25:29):
right now, yes I'm going. Um. But but we see
the beginnings, the beginnings of an argument or a disagreement
for the first time between Jess and Russell. Yeah. I
mean what's interesting too, is it brings up a big
I think, a big conversation point in this episode. UM,
(25:52):
and I think it's a life thing too, which is
CC gives you advice that it's very healthy for um,
you to fight in relationships. It's healthy to have a fight.
What do we think of this advice? I think it's
true because not that not fight, but like if where
you have disagreements like that, that's what brings people closer together. Now,
(26:17):
now it's how you fight, not not that you are
having an argument. You have to be respectful when you're
having an argument. Otherwise, if you're exactly if you if
you're if you're you know, you know, fighting dirty or something, um,
you know, you know, call name calling, all that not
(26:40):
nice stuff that you know that can cause problems. But
I think if you have a disagreement, it's totally normal
and totally healthy to work it out in a mature way.
So I think enough for sure to express how you
really feel, even if you know the other person doesn't
feel the same way. Yeah, that be a disagreement and
(27:01):
it should be okay. Otherwise it's just like suppress, repress,
and then it will come out in other ways. That's
my thought. I thought this was a great advice from
c C to Jess. Yeah, anybody out there knows me,
knows that I don't argue, so I can't really chime
in on this. I'm such a mild mannered Uh you
are thought, Yeah, one of the relationships and I do
(27:22):
something messed up and they want to scream and they
want to yell, I just give them the bow, you
know what I mean. I just kind of back my
way out of their lives forever. Um, you are really
like nice, and I mean you're like, you're not like
a little mouse, but you are pretty nice, pretty nice. Well,
you know, I don't disagree with angry women. Um of
(27:53):
One of my favorite moments of this episode is like
Elvin Um doing you with solid I mean, in a way,
they could have sent you to jail forever for sure.
First bordering that was yeah, a little too much. He
loved you too much, But it was like the idea
of a friend seeing what was best for you and
then making the hard decision for you. That essence of
(28:15):
it was incredibly sweet. So be like, there's no safety
net anymore, you gotta go exactly he could have I mean,
he could have chosen he could have literally just said no, seriously,
I've outgrown this relationship to you should go. And it
would have made Winston feel like, you know what, maybe
you're right, but instead he threatened him with like prison, Yeah,
(28:37):
that's that's I don't know. We were bordering at least
getting destroyed on a on a nanny board, Yeah for sure.
Probably nanny prospects just got completely wiped out about um.
But the cool thing I liked about the Elvin and
Elvin and Winston dynamic that Elvin was kind of like
(29:01):
even though he even though it's like this is the
job for Winston, Elvin is such a kid, but he's
so smart and he's so elevated that it felt like
the roles were actually reversed and in their conversations and
you'll see in later episodes as well, in their relationship,
Elvin is always the one teaching Winston something, you know,
(29:21):
and even in a moment like this, he's doing it again. Um.
And that's why I loved about the dynamic. It wasn't
just a typical um, you know, you're a kid doing
stupid stuff. It's like, no, Winston, you're an adult doing
stupid stuff, and this kid is the one who has
to check he's precocious that and but he sends him
(29:42):
back to his job, which we were talking about this earlier. Um,
is this something that folks do? Joe Napoli is such
a d head too to everyone who works for him
that the advice that Russell gives Winston is to dip
his is vo into his his his milkshake. That's so
(30:06):
disgusting to me. I can't believe Russell did that suggested
to go. The part that was hard for like me
to process is it seems just as much of a
punishment to who's doing the dipping as the person that
has to drink the dips. And I'm like, you've put
(30:26):
in some cold we like the experience. Maybe it just
feels like a weird There's a million things you could
put in there to ruin someone's day, but it sounds
like you got to ruin your day first. I don't understand.
That's the part where I was like, as a woman,
I do not understand doing that to yourself. Very sticky,
(30:52):
that's right. I didn't mean. It's not that hard. Um,
it's not that hard in my previous Again, anyone who
knows me, they know that there's a process to it. Um,
I like, I'd like to fully strip down completely, I
to hang my clothes up. Did you go full method
for this bit on the show, like you wanted to
(31:12):
really experience it so you could sell the acting part? Okay, alright,
tu Well? I called Dallas, Dallas props guy, shout out
to Dallas, and I said, Dallas, I said, man, I
really want to go for it in the scene. And
so I said, don't don't make sure that the milkshake
isn't cold, right, Dallas, What a prankster. The milkshake was cold,
and so it was a little difficult for me to do.
(31:35):
So it was a very messy, sticky situation that I
had to, you know, get out of in the middle
of the scene. But it did not happen. Never everybody,
he's a good actor. When he said he there was
a possibility that you were like, wait, did he Well,
I won't. People, you were okay, all right, you did
(31:59):
That's okay, you did it. Um send us your power
play stories. If you've ever had to power play your boss,
please send us the voicemails you want to hear all
about it. I remember like people when I was growing
up and be like, oh, I put their toothbrush in
the toilet. Gosh, it was so disgusting. It's such a
(32:21):
gross thing. And I think it's like a kid bullying
thing that I just remember people saying that they had
done to someone. So I always used to keep my
toothbrush like in the top drawer in my bathroom around
my life. They can't. You know, what you should do
is hide your toothbrush in the back of the toilet
and they will never be Here's where I keep my
(32:45):
toothbrush in the tank of the toilet. Never find it here.
Um okay, we have to talk because about this fight
between um uh Max and Jake, Nick and Schmidt, because
I was crying laughing, I've completely yeah, it's really yeah,
it's really the realization of relapse, relapse, relapse when they're
(33:11):
pitching to Rustle. Honestly, um, it put me on the floor.
I thought it was so so really it's also just
a Swiss army knife that's bigger than a Swiss on
the back of your phone. My favorite part about that
is them is them sliding into when you when you
are having your argument, them sliding into the kitchen to
(33:33):
start pitching you. That was one of the funniest things
I've seen Um and Jake's the differences between their characters.
It makes so much sense, you know, optimistic, like idiot,
this idiot, you know, businessman. It was so funny to Yeah,
(33:55):
it was so funny importance in business of timing and
reading the room. There's a very hungover man in a
fight with his girlfriend and they're like, you know what
this moment, this moment we're gonna choose. Um oh gosh.
I completely had forgotten about it, and I just thought
(34:16):
it was one of the funniest things ever. Not gonna
lie to you though, I'm not gonna lie to you
though I would, I would buy that would Yeah, I think.
I mean, I'm sure you've heard worse. For sure, I've
heard worse names for for products, for weird apps. There's
(34:40):
two things that happened though in the nick world of
this episode that I didn't realize and I don't know
we ever talked about for the rest of the series.
One he's one eighth Cherokee. Yeah. And then the other
is that apparently he quotes Aladdin's a Whole New World
all the time. Does he ever do it again in
the series, Like I'm gonna try to pay attention and
(35:01):
see if I catch it again. So besides where's the Bear,
you gotta find where's the Aladdin quote? Also, you guys,
I don't want to talk about where's the Bear in
this episode because, um, I can find it on the
fridge and it makes me mad if I can only
find it on the fridge. But I'll say this to
our listeners, you have been incredible because when I really
can't find it, I get d m s from these
(35:22):
super sleuths who actually can find it in the episodes.
So what I'm going to try to do then is
kind of make a master list of all of the
episodes at the end of season one when we get
to our twenty four episode, and list where all the
bears are found, some by me and a lot by
the listeners of this podcast. So if you find one
that's not on the fridge for this episode, tell me,
(35:44):
and I'm going to put it on this list and
I'll drop it when we do there season finale. Oh
that's good, that's really I found the bear. I'm not.
I'm just not going to say anything. Are you the
one dming me? Just using different accounts? Do actually know
where all the bears? Are true. Oh if that were true,
(36:08):
if you like had the time to like sit around
and create fake accounts to to catfish Hannah, I would
love break Sinatra is reel to big Um. We're going
to go to break and when we come back, we
(36:28):
will play around of true American. Welcome all right, we're back.
Welcome back, everybody. We're gonna play a round of true
(36:49):
American are brilliant. Producer Joel will put together yet another
amazing round uh. This week, both Just and Nick conveyed
their feelings with Disney songs. We're going to guess the
(37:10):
Disney movie based on obscure lyrics. Let's see. Okay, here's
the first one. Now is your moment floating in a
blue lagoon? Just because the lagoon, I'm going to say
a little mermaid? Yeah, yeah, fun fact about that. I
(37:36):
had to sing that in men Schore. Did you really?
Oh my god, that's so cute, A little crabby, Yeah,
that's I love it. I actually when you said that,
it made sense. But I don't remember this lyric at all.
And I thought, like, I know that was like that
came out when I was like a kid, so like
(37:56):
that was like my movie. And I didn't know it,
So I'm like, I know that sound backwards and forwards,
um lamour, and you want to take the next one.
Though my face leaves people screaming, there's a child behind
it dreaming. No, laman, read the next thing. Don't share
something personal right now, Read the next leric. Is this
(38:22):
like um quasimoto um the Hunchback of Notre Dame. That's
a good guy, but it is not that g also
a good guess, but no is Shrek. Shrek is not
a Disney movie iron Man. My face leaves people screaming
(38:52):
there's a child behind it dreaming. This is a very
aggressive laric. Is this like a bad guy and uh
and a movie storto villain? Oh it's got to be
mm hmm. I don't know. Though my face leaves people.
(39:13):
You will give us a tune? Sing it uh sing
sing child behind it dreaming. You have a very pretty voice.
But I still okay. Is it like an old school Disney?
(39:38):
New school Disney? It's newer? Oh? Whoa whoa Malana, No,
I'll give it you. It's tangled. I've got a dream
like Rapscallion thinking about their inner Oh, Rapscallion, Is this
when they're gathering the bar. Yeah, that's a good scene.
(40:00):
I love that movie alright. Number three, Your daughter will
love it once she's like two or three. She's still
on Coco Melon into Well in Ghento is like amazing. Yeah,
she's still rocking out to those um okay, Hannah Bruno's
(40:22):
song in my head. Number three. I know that love
will lead us and find a way to guide me,
do you? I know that love will lead is and
find a way to guide me to you. Is this
gonna be Aladdin? I was thinking Aladdin too. It's not
a it's not a carpet that could, you know, lead
(40:42):
him somewhere sen era? Okay, so that that would be
like Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, right King,
Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, that's that whole. It's the
good nineties era of Disney. We're obviously not right because
(41:05):
we say, I would say is a major Disney princess movie.
Oh oh, it's a little it's okay, Peter Pan, but
still from the Peter Pan is from like the fifties.
I think it's from the nineties, and it's obscure, uh,
(41:26):
like Little Mermaid too. American Tale is American tale. Disney no,
but write essence. Um, oh yeah, this is no. It
involves the mouse. Disney doesn't involve a mouse. It rah.
(41:49):
It involves several breaths of dog Hotel for Dogs, Oliver
and a hundred one dominations. We are terrible at You're
the same breeds? Does it say about us that we
were able to identify the saddest songs of all times? Right,
(42:13):
and we cannot, for the life of us identify like
basically any Disney lyrics. The group within the movie that
thinks that it's called power line, If that is it
all helpful to you? I think I've ever seen that
in the tramp that's from this like fifties or sixties.
(42:38):
It's from a goofy movie. It's called Eye. It is
called classic Disney movie here for nine hundred years, and
those words would never have fallen out of my mouth.
But can I say I on every weekend we got
my kids, and I go on Disney Plus and like
pick up Disney movies. So I feel like I thought,
(42:58):
when when I first read this was our true American
this week, that I was going to be good at this.
Like if you haven't seen it, though, fabulous movie. Okay,
what's called the movie? The song is called Eye to
Eye Okay, alright, last one Zoe, Alright, my heart has
(43:23):
wings and I can fly. I'll touch every star in
the sky. Um. That's from Peter Pan. I think this
is such a good guest, same era, very classic Disney.
UM Disney's Reading Rainbow. Um. Also don't watch Peter Pan
(43:45):
because it's problematic. That's why I will not put on
for my kids. Daddy Duck Story, Mickey Mouse Story, Pluto Story,
a classic Princess. I'll give you that classic sleeping Sleeping Beauty.
Sleeping Beauty is Cinderella Les. I remember like the when
(44:10):
they came out, because like, I think Sleeping Beauty is
fifty nine, like I think. I looked at the chronological era.
Is my favorite UM Disney movie color palettes are Alice
in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty, and I was like, I
think Alice and Wonderland's fifty five and Sleeping Beauties fifty nine,
and I was like, I love the color palette of
(44:31):
the fifties. When with Cinderella, do we know Cinderella was
around around like maybe early sixties, like maybe I think
like sixty one, maybe something it's really close, really close,
but the color palette is different. It's whoa, it's earlier.
Oh shoot, sorry I'm wrong. Nineteen other way, ten years before.
(44:57):
You go out there and watch Alice Alice's Wonderland Bakery. Um,
it's a great for kids. I happen to be on it.
It's fine. So Disney Junior Plus or something. Can we
talk about our Disney Junior Plus shows? Mira Royal Detective, great,
great show that one. Should we do one together? I
(45:20):
would definitely do it. Our next show. That's our next show. Yeah,
that's our next show. It's on Disney Plus Junior. There
four minutes long. My kids were asking to download some
Disney Plus Junior shows for the plane, like we're going
on a trip, and they're like, I want this one,
and I was like great, And then I was like, okay,
these are four minutes long. This is like not plane
(45:46):
four minutes long. Please give me that episode. Please. I
need a lot more episodes. You're flying private, just have
the pilot. We're gonna wrap this episode up. We're wrapping
this episode up. I also love that this whole like
like the real episode of New Girl that we're watching today.
Normal was all about True American and how it made
no sense and it's a game that's very difficult to play.
(46:07):
And then we played Your American on the show today
and we were terrible, terrible, terrible and asked for so
many clues and helps and hands sand just like American,
it made no sense. Well, on that note, I love
you guys. Can I just say one thing quick? Yeah?
Of course. I thought. What could be really fun is
(46:29):
after we do our episode, rewatch episode, so we will
have finished season one, we could all do um uh,
have a glass answer, have a glass of wine. And
for all the questions that have been sent in as
voice memos to our email address, maybe not all, but
(46:51):
a lot of them, a lot of them. Do as
many as we can squeeze onto an episode. So any
any questions, especially about season one, and send them in
and we will spend an episode Zoe, Lauren and I
um answer. We can drinking lots of wine. Absolutely absolutely,
while we are welcome to our show merch yes, yes,
(47:14):
and Russell's boxer shorts all of us. That's much item
