Speaker 2 (01:43):
Did you rewatch it?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
You watched it about an hour ago. First time i'd
seen New Girl since season six. By the end, I
have not revisited. I'd like clips online with people have done,
but I haven't gone back watched it.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
So you never watched season seven.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
I did not watch the ending of it.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
If you watched season seven, I think you'd have more
respect for my abilities. Shut up.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
I was there with you.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
I didn't respected him.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Person Sony was killing it.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
You were not.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I know the way they edit, and so I came.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
If it was a play, the people would walk out.
Those editors saved your ass.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, that's why you don't respect me. You didn't see
the magic happening.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Right in that one season.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Although this episode Pepperwood, what was it, fourteen? Yeah, it
was a wild episode, wild wild episode. You're really funny
in it. You got some good bits in there. A
lot of episodes you didn't have a lot of bits.
This is a fact, but like you just have stuff
where you're there. Yeah, you're in emotional scenes, you're setting
up a bit.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
But I was like, oh, this.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
One you had bits, share your whole bit of like,
what's my role in the last trying to find it's funny?
The baby Boys is funny. Yeah, I was like, you
had a good bits your old thing. I guess is
your fucking dick.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
A swing touching people.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I forgot about that episode was like, I.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Was like, the way this episode starts is that your
boner touches me.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Winston apply just gets boners all the time.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
He doesn't realize it, but and touches us all with
his boner and once touched pizza.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yes, but big ones, we're establishing this is what excuse
me about it. I remember reading it and kind of
going like I don't get it. I don't get it,
and then shooting it. I was still in my mind
going like, there's no way they're talking about my dick's
winger totally because I just had you see my underwe.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
We run out of the scene and you don't see him.
I'm not hard at all, or no, your character is
he's just not big at all.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
How do I how do I knock over pizza?

Speaker 4 (03:43):
You didn't knock over you bumped into it. Nobody says
the pogo stick is big, because.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Whoa back up like this?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
That's what if I had a tooth pick in my
pocket and I.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Poked a thumb.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's too much, too much thumb, No, no, no, what they're saying.
But Yeah, that's just I mean, that's just what the
fans gather that's based off that episode aired. You boy
got it a.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Lot of literally about your mom and never heard the
churches listening. You just said your boy got it in.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, but that's how the Bible says, be fruitful. The
multiplayer trying to tell you how we get it in.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
People are running in the other direction, Lamar.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
That was a wild storyline.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
So you know what's weird is that in my mind
I thought this whole time, all these years, that the
pogo was that accidental owners But it's not that your
friends talk about when you leave the room. I've never
known that, and so in my mind, I've always just
been like, who.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Wrote that episode?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
That was Nick Adams and Rebecca Edelman?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Fine, yeah, both really funny people and everything that shows
all like the whole everybody would pitch in.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
But who directed it?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Lynton?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
What a sad turn of events.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's sad to hear it.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I know.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's so I was really excited to watch it because
everybody loves this episode so much. When her name came
up as the director, man, my heart, my heart just
went out because we all loved her so so young.
It was great and she crushed this episode.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, let's dive into it really quick. After reading a
disturbing piece of fiction from one of Jessica's students, Nick
goes undercover as Julius Pepperwood to investigate the author to
things He's a killer. Meanwhile, Schmidt and Winston discovered there
we just talked about it, pogos and now huge Winston's
penis is you're at it turns off lights, turns off lights?

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Do you guys do something on this where you cut
the lights? So the whole podcast is gonna be her
talking me a little and hamming out at all.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, understand something you in my house?
I look at the riff.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Get there.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
You've been separated.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
This is this is a podcast right here.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
You know, I chose this situation.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
And we're back with another episode of the Morning After
with Hannah and Jake.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Carl's asked, Carl, that killed you?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
So okay, so let's just let's just go through it,
and let's just go through it in order. But before
we do that, let us go to break and we'll
be back. And we are back. We're here with real,

(06:44):
real piece of real, piece of ship. Jake Johnson, we're
talking about weird looking at his method. I'm going after episodes.
I'm going after oscars.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
That's the only.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
According to this episode. I'm okay with that. I'm okay
with that.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Where were.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
These sweet fans listening being like, just tell us something
about Julius.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Pepperwick Julius pepperwin is based off the name is the
football player from the Bear Julius Peppers.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
That's really where it came from. I had no idea,
did you.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
That's obviously I think that was then given a because
I'm obviously a big Bears fan. So when they did
the Chicago thing, they did that as like it at the
table read was, you know, like look at that guy.
So that's where Nick got it from its Bears fan.
Julius Peppers was then Julius pepperword.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
What about the Julius his first n.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
The football player. I mean, I was on a show
called Brainiacs on that seat, but what about the Bears?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
On's the word hog comes shut down for like three minute.
It's a survival. It's a new girl technique I learned
on set.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I'm back.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'm back.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So just the Claires. She's made a breakthrough with the student.
Nick tells her, you can't teach people how to write.
Writers don't read. They write right line. It's a great line,
so funny. I have dog shit it right. You know,
I don't read either.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
It's just I think it's one of those no girl writers.
Everyone's going to hit perfect lines. You'd be at the
table read and you're like, all right, what's this with
the Pogos? I don't know, and then you go get
that line right there.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, a very writer saying that writers don't right. You're like,
what stupid logic excellence?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, you're right, and it is stupid logic because right
after that we discover the pogos in the loft. Now
that's a real thing I'm imagining for people. Not for me,
no one talks behind my back, but for you guys.
Do you guys, Yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Not those days on set we all pogoed you.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
No, I don't believe that because I feel like you guys, fause.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
I was like normal behavior, normal human behavior. It's so
funny that they came up with like this thing, this
term for it.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
But it was really funny to do. It's like a
perfect new Girl vehicle. To then get Schmidt freaking out
the eyebrows is.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
A great I mean, that is.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
A perfect new girl when he was through the eyebrows,
and then your character just goes like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
We know about it.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
My mom had a pogo when we were growing up,
and she found out about it years later and wasn't
very happy about it. My mom used to she used
to threaten to beat us. She never did, but she
would always threaten us like yeah, but she would never
do it. And so, but the fear is enough. Fear
is enough, and so I used to call her Steven
Sagal because she thought she was above the law, and

(09:49):
we used to do it so much. It was two
years later when she was like, uh, huh, you call
me Steven Sagall. I was like, what it's like above
the lot?

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I will say.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
The funny thing about mothers is, to this day, there
aren't that many people who truly scare me. If my
mom came in here at seventy nine years old, right
now and he said, ship up straight, I would be
afraid of Steven Scott.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
That woman is above the law.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
She wants to will.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Kill me in this place, and none of these people
will help.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
I mean, the scariest mom. So I feel like it's
a look and a tone. Again, they can be across
the room and it's a look and a tone. Way
scary than someone coming up and just giving you a slap.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, okay, So let's talk a little bit about this student.
You you, Nick reads? What do you say?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
The actor?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
What's his name?

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Corday? Nick, Cordra Corday.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
So funny.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Yeah, you might be saying that, yes, his brother, I know,
sorry you that's what his name was. I'm like, you
killing him Edgar?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Funny, really funny. Dude. Nick reads the disturbing piece of
writing that one of Jessica's students handed in, and it's
convinced her student is a murderer. Now that's typical new
girl fashion as well. It's like, oh, let's just go,
let's just go so deep into it. Like he reads
some writing and he's like, let's go investigate and do
a thing.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, I thought it was really funny because I
feel like every woman, deep down just things that most
men are gonna murder them.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
And then the fact that she.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Would read that and not be able to put it
together herself and be scared. I thought was a very
sweet moment for like Zoe's character to be like, I'm
sure it's fine, And it was a very nick thing
to be like, are you an idiot?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
This man definitely wants.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
To hurt you.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
So it was really funny in that episode. So fun
watching it again, I was like, man, I gotta say
everybody had really solid bits.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
I was like, she was scoring. You were scored in
that one. You were scoring Schmid was. I was like,
this is funny, is cool? And then they turn the
fact that at the end, I was like, this shows ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's disgusting and different.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I forgot about it because I was like, there's something
that's very weird, and then the whole.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Time you're going like, well, then what's in the devil bag? Man?
I still want to know what's in the bag.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
I forgot about that whole storyline.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
I forgot that that whole thing is what started the books, right,
the fact that Nick became.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
A writer for years.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
I was like, oh, it did all start in her
writing class?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, and motivated to protect her, which is also like
a sweet character thing too.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Did you workshop this character at all? Because obviously now
in TV his homework you don't you just improvise everything?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Yeah, it depends on the job. But on a show
like New Girl, where it's all of us doing bits
and I know we're going to improvise, there are other jobs.
You know, you get two takes and even if it's
starting to go, they're just happy with the two takes.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
So on those you'd better do your homework.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
The beauty of New Girl was even if you crush
it and you do your homework, you're doing thirty takes,
so you can go in there and nail it, and
you know the cruise laughing the casm, well, like got.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
It, it doesn't matter, let's keep them.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
So there would be no homework because I always felt
like rehearsal was the beginning, the first take. You're now started,
and you remember Liz. Sometimes you do scenes where she
would basically be like, now sing the lines, but you're like,
you never know, she might find something. So no, with
that entire show, there was as little memorization. You needed

(13:24):
to be memorized because everybody else was, so what.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
You weren't memorized? Yes I was, you were improvising and
take one bullshit, Yes you were.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
That is Edit his Lives, Edit his lives. That's not reality.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
We're not doing curb taking comfort. We're not doing curb.
We get a scripture show. And I said the word,
we just do.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
A scripted show.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
But I will say when my character finally started working
at the bar, it was somebody that taught me.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
You can the bar is the best because you can
take all your side and she's on the truth, lay
them all out.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm not saying I didn't have cheat sheets everywhere.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's why my character is going like this, leaning on
something all and he's thoughtful looking down like but no,
we did.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Not, and we did not.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
We always said the lines.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
No, no, we said the lines you said.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Memorized the I've memorized the like you guys talked about
how you put your sheets everywhere.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
If you memorize hold on, hold on, if the camera
starts here, this is memorizing.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Answer function.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
Babe, Yeah, babe, question mark Hello is in a quick
catch up? You know we got five minutes for that.
That's memorized.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
We didn't have to go Yes, your understanding of what
the world, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Turned it for me and this is the truth because
we were all that Season one for me, I was
shocked how uh word perfect Max was. I was shocked
at the level that Zoe always was.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I wasn't shad for your ass man.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
You didn't have you didn't have any lines we did.
I didn't meet you Untilsea's three, but I was shocked
how prepared they were. And we would get a rewrite
the night before and everybody was just it was like
it was a play. Thank you besides you.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I know, I know I was off book either actor
here the professional. Yeah, I'm going to go through my
credit credit.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
But then when the alts started and you would do
the scene and there was a thirty page book of
alts that I was like, oh, we're doing all of
those two. So then my memorizing this scene the night
before is the same as me memorizing these alts right now.
So that because I won't do that on stort, like

(15:41):
you cannot go to a certain job and a shit out,
but New Girl was a different animal, so you're like,
all right, if we're gonna do alt and Liz loved
improv so much. A lot of people fake love and
improv because they think it's cool to say to an
actor like open it up, but they don't use it.
The fair thing about Liz. If the script was the funniest,
if the alt was the funniest, or the improv was

(16:02):
the funniest, that's what she would use.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
So you're like, all right, it's fair.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I noticed you went and bought that hoodie in Chicago. Yeah,
years ago, years ago from Chicago. Your accent is kind
of there, but when you turn it on, it's one
of the funniest things in this As soon as you
sit in that classroom, I was like, I wonder if
he workshopped that. So you're saying you just that's immediately

(16:28):
that's where you go.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
I will say something funny about that scene is and
a lot, as we all know, such great stuff got
cut out of that show that you just forget. What
was hard about watching. The real reason why I don't
revisit is the memories of on set were so fun. Yeah,
so many great bits, And then you watch and I'll
be like the one stupid examples when we were all
at the bar and that little kid Terrio came out

(16:54):
and we would just for no reason create Terrio moments. Yeah,
so you're doing the material and then somebody would go
like ooh, and there was a multi arcial thing. They're like,
you know, the editors or Liz or somebody or they
never did like and who's all out out cry laughing.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
So you watch and you're like, oh, that's a weird cutting.
I was like, oh yeah, there was like all that.
So when I sit down in this scene and I'm
next to that old timer and we look at each other,
I guarantee there was like a ten minute scene between
me and that guy.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's too long. But anytime you see.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
My character, I used to always ask for like the
wildest looking background to be next to me. So if
I'm in a two shot, don't give me some like
thirty five year old actor who's like I'm just for
my sad card.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Give me the wildest looking, craziest person.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Keep it in a two so that when you're saying
your lines to Zoe, you can go like, yeah, what
do you think, man? And then because they're not allowed
to talk, they then if they talk, it's a credit issue.
So the ADS resulty would always sy don't talk to them, man.
So I'd go like, what do you think and they
would be.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Like, pretend this is real life. That's incredible. Somebody responds
that way.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Speaking of that. I'm not sure if you remember this
because you don't rewatch, but there was an episode we
covered Table thirty four.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I was just gonna say, it's so funny because I
caught this moment even in this episode when you go
and sit next to Edgar, just because I know you
so well. You sat down and you said something like
you're okay, my man, and I was like.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
That was not written down.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I just know you sitting down into the scene and
you were in your accent. And then it reminded me
of Table thirty four when you guys have to jump
on the duct taped table that you had to build,
which is like the Indian Speed Day. Yeah. Fun, and
you just grabbed this background actor and hauled him up
and you went, this is happening, this is real, and he's.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So scared and you pull him up and you start
to jump and he falls off in you.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
You're like, you're okay, and it's just Jake, Like the
character has left the building and you're just having the
best time and the guy.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Can't say anything, but he's silently pleading for help and.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
He was off the thing and you've got him, like
I got I will say this every time I've ever
pulled a background guy on the camera, I've had family
members of them right and be like thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Oh yeah, remember the guy Sid.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
If you remember, there was a guy at the bar
who had a big beard and he was a background
actor and he used to always take photos with everybody.
Remember that he had no lines. Every time we were
at the bar that some guy questioned him would say like,
I got his name, and I said to I think
it was the second Id who ran. I said like,
this dude right here needs to be every time we're
at the bar, and if we're doing a scene, Sid

(19:45):
needs to be either right in the middle.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
And then the director would go like can we move
that guy and have Max there?

Speaker 5 (19:50):
And I was like, I would love Sid move here,
And a.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
Lot of it would get cut out. But if I
would go like what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Or the beginning of a scene before like acts would
enter with a monologue and there's that moment of quiet,
it would always be like you would try to start
a conversation where you'd be like, well, that's a really
scary story.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
My man.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
Like his family, it's like granddaughter somebody reached out and
was like he'd passed, but they're like, that was really
a highlight.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
We would watch them. You're like, it's fun.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Man, I remember actually you telling me that he passed away.
That's what I was to say. I was like, yeah,
he's not. I don't think he's with.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
His He was actually the inspiration of my movie, the
Biff Wiff character, and my character goes around I first
looked for I was like, I got a guy in mind,
and then I was like, oh, yeah, he had passed.
But that kind of look and feeling that bit in
there whenever you're in a two shot, I'm like, just
give me somebody who's not going to react like an
actor who's not going to be talking for thirty minutes

(20:44):
about their fake backstory.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Pros like you where you're.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Like, thank you for saying so. That means a lot
to me.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
But those true characters, for me, I'm like, man, they
are just gold.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
And that's so funny. He says that he has you
hear him talking about it, how he just has the
power calling a d calling the director boom, I need
my man in.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Here's a class one thing where we're doing edits now.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Every time you.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do that, guys on Jake, right, now, but no, but
he never. We don't have to harp on this. We
don't have to harp on this. I don't because here's
the thing. I don't because it's not because I don't
want to go past this, because I do want to
get back into this episode because it was great Pepper,

(21:30):
but he don't call me that be in his ship
at all. So let's but I want to get back
into this episode. And where are we at right now?

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I'm hard by it too, So that's okay, you can
harp on it. Yeah, let's shake up.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
We used to love him.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
This is your intervention right now, friends are sending you down.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Let us go to break. While we're gonna break, we're
gonna discuss with Jake. Why why why? I think we
talked that. I think we got through this for the most.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
You know, it's funny.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
When I watched your movie, I genuinely had that thought.
I was like, wow, Jake is a type.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Yeah for sure.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
When I saw that.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Guy, And now you're saying that it was like a
connected thought for you, just even.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
When you mentioned even when you mentioned him at the
bar just now, I was thinking about your movie.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, totally. That guy was so funny, and he never
had a line. Yeah, you trans the best, the best,
they're just instincts are funnier. You get anybody, anybody who's
an actor, anyone who's an improviser. There's a way we
all attack a joke where there's the same rhythm, where

(22:48):
you're like, yeah, you're good at it. But somebody who
doesn't the pauses they take, I'll be like, spectacular choice.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Never in a million years, but I've guessed you paused
that long. Never seen it in my life, truly, never
seen it in my life.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
It reminds me of some of those movies. Have you
seen Run Ronnie Run?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yes, of course.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
So there's he's just David Crosses escaping from the police,
and they get this eyewitness, this old lady, this old lady.
She's outside and she's in her nightgown and she's disheveled,
and she's like, and you know, and I and I
and I and I didn't and I forgot to take
my pills. And uh, I was sitting here going like,
she's not an actor's it? He's not an actor. That's

(23:29):
way too genuine. Hannah, I got a question for you. Yeah,
please don't mess this up. This week.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
That's not a question, that's a weird comment.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I'm not done with the question two parter. You know,
the whole theory behind.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
There's a huge fan theory that in every single episode
of New Girl there is a Bear reference, whether it's said,
whether it's in a picture.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Have you heard this theory?

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Heard of it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
And so I had so much like sent to me
through whatever damns and fans and comments that I was like,
there must be truth to it.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And then read it.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
There's threads and I was like wow, asked Liz and
she was like maybe She's like maybe, not like super intentionally,
but yeah, there is a lot. And so now in
every episode I'm on like a quest to find it.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Bears still Bear.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
And I found it?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
You did?

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yes? Max says it. Max says he's watching the Bears game.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Yeah, Chicago Bears.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh that's a simple one, the simple one.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
I was so happy by the way so it was
said and done, because I've struggled a little this season.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I don't really buy that now one doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
What do you mean it doesn't count?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
You gotta see it, No, you don't.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
You have to say it or see it. That's it.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
And Brett Bear's name in the credits doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well, you can't count more than once. Well, I'm just
saying I don't make the rules.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Okay, I'm just like going along with what the fans
have said.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm on their side.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay, let's keep going. So you guys break into this shed, right.
You don't remember a lot about filming this, but but
it came back to you. Watch it's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Physical comedy, like how much it did you have to do?

Speaker 5 (25:01):
I did the tire and then I remember, I think
it was Jimmy Sharp it's stunts who said we've got
stunt people and if you do it, there's no residuals
passed around. Do you like doing it? And that was
a big turn for me of like no, but I
thought we had to and that became the beginning of stunts.

(25:22):
But it was that episode because he's like, we're here,
but all of a sudden they fake everything. So the
window they had built low so there's nothing hard, and
then the falls there's a huge pad. So but that
was the episode because I did the beginning where there's
a thing where you climb on the big tire, you
hang and then I fall and you could see that
it's me doing it. And that was the one where

(25:43):
I was thinking it was cool, and I didn't realize, like,
you're actually taking jobs away.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
You've already got your salary, You fucking goofball. What are
you showing off?

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Don't you show off enough? You're on camera all day?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Sure, yeah, but some people do find it a weird
bragging point.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
It's a macho thing. It's cool.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's what I was gonna say, say, did you do
the Mummy before or after?

Speaker 4 (26:05):
After?

Speaker 5 (26:05):
And I did all my stunts. But you didn't have
a choice, I know.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
He told me some of the stories, and I was like,
there is no way I would have been I would
have had to be recast. I would have had to
because I know. I have a friend who was in
Top Gun and he was like, dude, he had to
really fly planes. And I was like, I would have
been recast.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Yeah, you would have done it. I mean, he makes
you it's it's He said something that was really smart
where he said, do you really think we're going to
get one of the stars of the movie hurt? Because
if you're hurt, can I film the next day? And
so you're like, right, it's scary. You have to train
a lot, but it is fun. Yeah, but that was
the episode of Nuger after that. If they said, will

(26:44):
you stand up and put a cup on the uh
in the cabinet, I'll go. We have stunts. I mean,
if I got a stand and go all the way there,
stunts is here.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
He's wearing my plaid shirt.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Edgar tells Jaf he's based his character off of her
and that she has to die. The main character has
to die. Your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I love the fact that there was like a fight
over the safe word and that she uses apricots so
much into real life. She feels like it would be confusing,
and then it does actually become confusing because it makes
you automatically think of you actually needed a safe word.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Dragon Slippers felt like it'd be a little obvious.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
You look completely out of your mind if you said
it and you're locked in a room with a killer.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
We have a safe for my mom. We have I
can't say it on a camera, but we have. No,
I can't. That's a it's a real safe a child.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
You need a safe for real. It's mostly a sex thing.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, it's not. It's like, oh, if I call you in.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
This show, they made it funny, but in real life
it's a sex thing.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Son. No, you have it with your mom.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
No, that's the answer.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Don't you call your mom, Steven Sagal because she's a.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Bone of law, don't you don't you?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Yeah, I know your I assume your mom. I like
your mom. We're friends.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
I kill you and I'm messing with your brother. I
respect you're train. It was Lamarn making those mom drugs green.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
It was so we have since I was a child
around trouble.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
You're grown now.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
You can see you're not gonna call your mom if
you're in trouble at this point, right.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, some so things have happened with my mom because
my mom lives, you know, by herself, right, And if
if there's weird delivery guys in the house, or there's
weird things, she calls. She stays on the phone and
I'm like, I monitor from a distance. Or my brother
will do the same thing, because I don't know these

(28:43):
motherfuckers in my mama's house.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
What am I going to do?

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Get on a jet and fly over there?

Speaker 1 (28:48):
No, I got people, Jake, you know, Jake, I know
your geeks from Jake.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Well, they're gonna do her talk. God damn man.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
But here's what we got our we got, our locations shared,
we got I'm like, listen, I need to know what's
going on.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
If that was my mom, I would be more nervous
about the delivery guy. It'd be like, if that went down,
you'd be like, shave for an apricots and get out
of there.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Heal, you get out, get your bags and girl, I
don't want to the laws.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
To get out. But it was sex stuff between what
we thought was his Edgar's mom. But it turns out
it's Edgar's lady friend, his girlfriend wife. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It's the large age gap in their loving union.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
And they have a duffel bag filled with do we
know what's in there?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
We never explained.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
It seems like it's sex stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's a lot of any explanation over like a lot
of pictures of Jess agreed.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I like a lot of creepy pictures. It feels like
they kind of like he just got like a pass.
I was like, I watch you man.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
That's what I miss about old TV as opposed to
new streaming comedy where new streaming will be like eight
episodes and everything connects and everything is so thought out,
and then you're like, it's great, it's really smart, win
all the awards. When you watch New Girl, there are
things I'm like, the tone is really weird. This doesn't
fully check out. Winston has a boner and he's bumping

(30:27):
into us and we allow it.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
And then you also go like, who can Max shaved
his eyebrows? Guess what next episode? The back It's like,
who cares?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
There was a theory that's been going around the line
that he wasn't actually erect. Is it? Winston just has
wow flaccid.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
That's just a lie.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I'm just saying. I don't I don't make it. I
don't go on these blog What do you call him? Reddits?

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah, okay, all right, I don't post from more.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I don't have I don't know, I don't have the
log in. I don't have the past.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
What's the log in?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
So we are towards the end of this episode, Yeah,
I just.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Something I remembered watching this episode was about the pogo
because I remember you and I walking back to our trailer.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
We were talking about how everyone has a pogo or whatever.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
And you said that every like, no matter what weird
thing someone throwing up some whatever will turn someone on.
It turned into that conversation and you and I getting
into a raging debate and I was like, no, there's
certain things in the world that would not turn someone
on and not get a guy turned on. And You're like, no, I.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Think you're gonna lose that debate.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
He was like, you're so He was like, you're so naive.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
No, even the weirdest, darkest, strangest thing that you think
would be revolting to everybody.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
There's one dude, well not way more than one dude.
Have you seen the internet?

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Google anything?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
An, I don't want to google.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
The weirdest, grossest thing you can ever think of.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Yeah, I's computer, honey, I'm research.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
I'm writing a play about it.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
I remember there was a huge, huge debate. But that's
where the baby voice came from. And I was like,
and you had that reaction, and that's how it made
it in the show. He was like, it's so gross
when she doesn't And he was like, nobody would be
turned on by that voice.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
It's so gross. And that's how like that was the
one thing you know.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
There's a big turno of like adults wearing diapers and
literally filling them.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yes, feeling it.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
This is a real thing.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
There's a very real thing. It's it's you're talking about
a baby voice.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I like, well, his reciction just made it seem like
it was like a lot of things full, a lot
of people wearing dirty diapers and getting off.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
And she's like, I'm super hat and I used kind
of a baby voice, and.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Guys are gonna be like, oh no, it's gross. Put
on two girls, look cup, that'll do it for me.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
And then after they're like there was a lot disgusting
about her literally eating Pooh.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Same. So so it's a super turnal.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
But no, Hannah, you saying a baby voice, I'll never
find a man on.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Well, when I did it to you, I was like,
wait about that, and you were just like it was
like nails on a chalkboard to you. And that's what
I brought back to the show because they were like, well,
what could we do to be your pog?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
And I was like, well, the more.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Finds this revolting. And I remember List being like that's
kind of weird, and I was like, maybe it work.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
I remember watching this going tomorrow, we got to recap this.
I hope Hannah doesn't do that right at the end.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Here you go.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
But it came from you.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
It came from this big debate and you were basically
saying what Jake saying was like, do.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
You not know what's out there?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
And I was like, no, I guess I've kept that
part of myself away from.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
The essentially what was essentially what Hannah is saying to
the people out there, the millions and millions of fans,
JO don't is that I have inspired a culture. I
have inspired a movement. I have inspired all the actors,
all the show. They're not going to cut it out.
I control the editor. I'm the one I'm editing.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
No, you're not.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
I like your hands just went up, like dude, like
you know what you're doing when you're playing a piano.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
What I do wish comedically after watching that episode is
they pushed cecymore in the wanting to be included.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
In because the idea of every time she pushes and
everybody just goes like, that's a lot of thing.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
That could have been like that, whoever, whatever, writer, it's
such a great way to kill somebody. We could have
hit that, but for a year of like everything she
wants to do, of like all of us eating spaghetti again,
it's like, we don't.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
That's not a thing.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
A person who really wants to be and the old
group of friends and you're like, it's different, you're in, we.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Like it, but this is all you're here, you're on
the post is a loft.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Well, it's a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Was also like you never said and yeah, it's weird
that they didn't continue going with it because it felt
like it was also like a known thing, like here.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
She's here again. You don't like live here. You're in
this vibe of the thing.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
And we are going to break and we are back.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
There's a reason he's the best. It's nobody in the
world who would have saw that.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
No, no, I have nobody here because he's the only one
who can say.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Remember the thing I was saying about you work with
people who have like different brains.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Anytime my man.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
And we go to break, I gotta let them know
what time it is exactly, because if we just go
to break, they're going to be confused. Okay, I want
to give them time to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
About talk. We're talking about the episode.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
All right, we are back handa what what time is it?

Speaker 2 (35:41):
That time.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
You're doing a bad job? Man, Hannah, will you sitting
in that seat? Let him just respond.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
And it's the one thing, it's the one thing I've
learned about new girls sitting the light work.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, smart, smart, smart.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
I let the one getting killed.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
You think you think I want to now?

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, you're smart, You're smart. Like we're on the team.
Yeah we are. It's working out. Okay, let me read this. Also,
go to break what you want to say? You went again?
Welcome back.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, we we have to, we have to, we have
to go to break. Jake good. You should know that
you have a podcast, Jake, no commercial and you go
to break now, you don't go to commercial. I know
how much money you make my manular.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
I mean, what if planted a tiny seed, a tiny
seed with Jake about podcasts?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
You did, and it's worked out.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
You did get the first podcast I've ever done that's
not our own.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Right away, I can't.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
I meant to text you. You should be honestly doing
another podcast. The response has been really strong to yours.
I'm not kidding, but when you left and said it
was the first one you did. You should go do
like the whole run.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
We've all done it.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
Lamore knows the whole. There's like fifteen you just do.
They got great numbers, great hosts, it's fun bits. You
should do the whole push right.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
I liked hanging out, let's go back to break.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Liked hanging out with you guys.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
I love the idea. I think I grew up listening
to so much talk radio. I love the idea of
having a caller and it's five and you don't know
what's going on. Like, I love it the whole idea
of your podcast, and I got.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
To kick it with you.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
That's why.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
But the idea of like doing like a circuit of
podcasts just because.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
To me, I'm like, but that's what I was always
a no to them, even when I used to do press.
I was the big turn for me lately is that's
actually you're getting For my movie, I did more podcasts
than I did traditional press because I'm like, these are
actually the people who want to watch the stuff. It's
a bigger market and you are advertising something, kid.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
I mean, I know we got the new girl I pee,
but you gotta beat the god damn.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
This is why.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
By the way, I don't want to do advertisement back
to break, this is to break.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Manager. You're a lokey manager. You just sat down on
the couch. You're like, listen, I love driving.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
The studio city to talk somebody I don't know for
three hours.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
She don't want and we're going to break and we
are back. Hannah. When I was asking you what time
it was, I was trying to set you up. It's
it's time for the mess around. The segment you wanted
to That was my mess around. This is your.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Segment, the mess up round.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Okay, here's the topic. Do you ever do anything weird
for a roommate?

Speaker 5 (38:54):
Answer? You're married now? Later it was that's just what
you did to survive.

Speaker 4 (39:05):
What you did.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
It's all over.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
We're still with you with family, even if you're guilty.
Were family, even if you're guilty.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Did you live a roommates ever?

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:15):
I live with my wife and my goods. They're just
you don't pay for anything.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
I wasn't on the couch, so well, you grab me
something to drink and I'm like, I'm a waiter.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
I I didn't do anything weird for a roommate. But
I had a roommate who was extremely weird, and I
would go out of my way to avoid some.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
Of his weird ship was always lived alone.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
No, no, no, there is this guy's other characters. This
is this guy who was a ninja. I figure. I
feel like I've told you the story before. There was
a guy who was a Jamaican dreadheaded ninja, vegan vegan guy.
He cooked with all the weird aspices. House smelled odd,
it was very I was broke, So God rest his soul.

(40:02):
Chad Boseman got Chad Boseman.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
That's just like you killed.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
I didn't say he was a good ninja. They say
he was a good ninja. I caught him slipping exactly.
Was a show gun.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
No.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
But Chad, he knew that I was struggling, and he's like,
I have a guy who's moving to l A. You
should let him, you know, live with you. I said, okay, cool,
no problem. You know Chad. He was a martial artist
and a lot of his friends were also martial artists.
But Chad wasn't extreme. His friends were this guy comes
in my place and he has this sword that he
kept in the living room and he had rules for

(40:47):
me when he moved into my place. One of his
rules were, this sword contains energy and power, and you
do not know the power in which it contains, so
please believe it where it is.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
I've done that. It works.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
The sword contains, as a mere lady, mortal.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Power.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
Power runs off very fast again when he can quickly
experience that power initially and then but be so.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Proud experience the lane. Just remember the power.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
When describing the sword to your friends, like, honest, please
don't tell how fast, like I would really embarrass me.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
And we are in the same friends.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
All you need to know sword powerful, that's it. Uh No.
But but one day a buddy comes over and he's like,
what's that? And I was like no, no, no, don't touch it.
And he was like what. He picks it up and
I was like all right, he puts it back down. Meanwhile,
an hour later, somebody's why we're outside and he comes
storming outside in his boxer's barefoot ninja. Yeah the ninja

(41:55):
and no shirt. He was pissed and he goes, did
you touch my soul? And I was like no, because
I know I didn't, but I know it was touched
and he goes, did you touch my sword? And I
was like, no, I didn't. He goes, I told you
you do not know the power in Richard contains. And
he's screaming at the top of his lungs in front

(42:16):
of I'm not joking twenty people. And then he storms
off and goes back inside. And I tried to avoid it,
but it happened.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
How much longer did you live with this man?

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Oh? Probably know A couple of months after that, wild
I was struggling. I needed to help.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
That's walking on eggshels though forever. Now, Oh yeah, you
lost all.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
The power I got, really I got. I got really
passive aggressive with this guy because I would walk you
could smell down the hallway this, this the spices, and
I'd be like, I get into my apartment like, god, damnit,
I'm about to I gotta go out tonight, and I'm
about to go out smelling like garlic. You know what
I'm saying in couscous you know anyway, And we're.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Honestly, I can't even tell you by weird roommate thing
now because it doesn't again, this is like a weird flat. No,
it's a weird flashback to when we basically shared a
trailer for whatever, and he'd be like, I'd be like,
how's your night, and he would the morne would tell
like a crazy ass story like that would happened last night,
and I was always like ready to be like I
had a crazy night too, And then he'd be like.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Well, no, tell me what it was.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
And I was like, well, I did, like a whole puzzle,
had like two classes the fine and now this is
the version of this my weird roommates.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
I can't tell it now. It's so boring.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
They were boring. I'm not gonna lie to you, I know,
but I'd been out drinking with you and you'd rage, yeah.
But never had those stories if I was, they don't
have a.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Weird turn in the night where all of a sudden
I'm at some weird person's apartment and crazy weird stuff happened.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Like that's it. I could just like go out and hang.
That's what I could do.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
I was that ninja on the streets and I don't
appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
You know what you did.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
I my bad.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
I know what you did.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
My bad? Like you Jamaica that.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
Everybody here about the smell. I guess that's on me.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Is it crazy to think you've probably crossed paths with
a murderer?

Speaker 4 (44:10):
One of these questions they're.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Based on the episode, like in real life, real life?
Do you think do you think you ever.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
I walked from sunset to here on the past four
murders in La every ninth person, and you see as
a murderer.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
I know I've crossed paths with murderers. I got family
that's locked up. I'm the picnics with these dudes.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
Wild.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
It's funny when you can. I remember being like your
mother is going to hear this.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I'm just saying, yeah, they got caught, so like I'm snitching,
they got caught. I'm not saying no names. You know
you did it.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
You know they got internet in jail.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Now, I know, but they don't know that. You know
what I'm saying. Your guys watching, it's a few of them.
If you feel guilty, you know you know who you are.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Got all this for his safety, you know, for everyone's safety.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Let literally have him go. I got to I had.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Two glass of wine and puzzle.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
That over his stop.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Okay, last question, would you ever write a book or

I feel like you've written or.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
No, I started started the movies.

Speaker 1 (45:31):

Speaker 5 (45:32):
Did you ever do a memoir or one of those

Speaker 3 (45:36):
It would never be I'm the most private personal planet earth.
I would never write a memoir, but I would.

Speaker 2 (45:41):

Speaker 3 (45:42):
I would think so my dad has such an interesting
story because.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Agreed rubbing in our faces?

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Oh my dad? Okay, all right, couple of orphans?

Speaker 4 (45:57):

Speaker 5 (46:00):
That'd be cool if I could.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
Could you do more?

Speaker 1 (46:02):

Speaker 2 (46:06):
You're all gonna make me legit cry. I didn't even

Speaker 5 (46:13):
So that's cool that. I'm happy for you. Yeah, sorry
for your loss.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
Let's go to break people be like man that Jake episode,
Hannah didn't say anything.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
She just under sad quiet. You didn't have any weird stories.
You couldn't talk about her dad.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
It's over.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
What would I like when he was raising you?

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Okay, it's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
You have a poss the ball around. He tell you
a good job, and shit, howd that.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Make you feel?

Speaker 1 (46:35):
You must know how to play catch.

Speaker 5 (46:37):
That give you like a confidence that like you just
always have until you die. Is it like weird for
you as you get older because you're like just making
it up. Or do you like just know what to
do and stuff?

Speaker 4 (46:49):
How do you tie a tie?

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Do you just naturally know how to like change oil
and stuff like.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
A learned skill.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
It's on going, It's okay, it's okay. Please tell the
story about the book.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
When my dad went to university in India, when they graduated,
they pulled there's a million people this university. They pulled
them all out into these like fields and you could
choose to be a doctor or an engineer.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Those are your options in life. He was in a
fight with his brother. His brother went over to the
doctor side, so my dad went over to the engineer side.
Spent his whole life working as an engineer. But what
I didn't know is.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
He really really, really really just wanted to write.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
And he felt like he had all these stories, he
had led this really incredible life and he really wanted
to write. So when he retired. And he's an incredibly
intelligent man. He's got five degrees, he's super smart, he's
so interesting and he is the moment he retired. He
just started writing, and he now has written and published
I want to say, like books. No, And he's written

(48:04):
like you know, he's done deep research and on like
in ancient histories and ancient civilizations. And he's written like
murder mysteries, and he's written like a.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Comedic short stories.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
And he's written his memoirs, which is the first time
I learned all my family history. I mean, he's just
such a prolific writer, and he was just like within him.
I can't like the idea to sit down and try
to write one book in my lifetime would be an
incredible accomplishment. But my dad has now like a whole
like library of books, written all these books.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Yeah, so he's just as absentee as my dad.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Was when he read.

Speaker 5 (48:44):
Man will find anyway not to raise their good I
will love to raise you.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
I gotta write sixtys.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
What do you want me to do? I gotta get paid, I.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
Gotta write a comedic thriller. I gotta study regions. I
have a soccer game before.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
I'm sorry to tell you all, he was a real
good daddy.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
He was a wonderful dad.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Congratulations very much, so much Jake. The fans have written
in and they are thrilled. The fan I just know
her name is Rosie from denn of Geek and I
GN and she yeah, yeah, dumb, dumb.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
I literally was not make a good joke.

Speaker 5 (49:22):
I thought it was Jocelyn.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
I was gonna kill you.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
So Rosie from Denna Geek and dinn Geeks and I g.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
Geek Gek is a different publication writing from one gig's dad.
I was gonna say, you gotta get out of that room, ladies.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Well, she has a question that's been on all of
our minds and hearts, and it is Jake Johnson. What's
it like creating a new romantic archetype. You kind of
have had your hand in that development.

Speaker 5 (49:59):
I'd say, I'll explain what you mean by that.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Well, you're not attractive. You me, yes, grumpy, hadn't shaved
the data's life.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Not a weird smell about that.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
And for the first season of that show, you had
a bowl haircut that I had to tell you to
fix you.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Well, you were the guy.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
I didn't go to their hair and makeup plot, so
everyone's while La Morne would go like, I mean, this
is a friend man, your hair looks terrible. You go,
you have to go back and say what it says
that you would say it looks like you had a helmet.
He goes like, it's like I'm telling you it's a friend.
Go back in there and say, my hair looks like
I have a weird helmet on.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
Yes, because this haircut now, the one you have now
is very similar where it's low on the sides. Yeah,
kind of crazy on the top. That's what the That's
what the fans before before it was just the same.
You had a white man's afron.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
I had your character in the flashbacks. Yes, yes, that's right, Yes,
it's so funny.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
But the but the folks out there loved you romantically.
What was that like?

Speaker 5 (51:10):
Well, I think that goes to the writing, would be
my guess, and I don't know. I don't really know
how to answer that question, but I think, you know,
it's got to be Liz. You know, Liz put me in.
I never had any interest in romantic comedies. I always
liked going back to the type of characters I wanted
to act next to. That was the kind of actor
I wanted to be. I wanted to be in just
comedies and do weird little Indy's. Then she put me

(51:33):
in no strings attached and I'd love interest in that
Greta Gerwig And that was the beginning of me being like,
there was a whole scene where they wanted me to
open her car door, and I was like, but what's
the joke? Why am I here?

Speaker 4 (51:47):
You paid me fair money, I'll do the bits.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
And that was the beginning of being like, oh, this
is a whole different lane where you don't do bits.
You just the actress comes in and it's like you
look while everybody else does the bits, and you're like, oh.
And so when this show started, and we talked about
it a lot at the beginning, but you and I
didn't really know our roles on the show, you know,
and we Zoe was very clear comedically, she knew what

(52:13):
she was. We all knew what that show was. Max
created Schmidt really fast, and the writers knew what that was.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
So it was very clear.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
And Max has said it on my podcast, We're here
to help go to add.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
But I get some of that one.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
But he basically was saying he knew that he was
somewhat of the Jim Parsons, so he was like, really
blow it. Up and at the beginning, I didn't know
where Nick was going to live. I was like, I
don't know where it was, and then the writing just
kept putting it to Nick and Jess, Nick and Jess,
and so I went there. And then slowly, when you're
in scenes and everyone he relies ends with a question

(52:52):
mark or Sho'll come in and overalls and he'll just
go like Nick looks, and I'm like, all right, So
when I'm with the guys, I have to improvise, yeah,
or I'm gonna be here for seven years just going
like you look great and like it's just not that
fun of a part. So like having me and heard
that thing, you're like, oh, it's really nice. But Pepperwood,
it's clearly a season two Nick and Jest story Season

(53:15):
one early there's and I talked to Justin Long about
it when he came in season one that you're like,
if you're playing that love interest, there's just not a
lot of meat on the bone. Your job is to
be in love with that person. And so that wasn't
a natural fit. It's not why you know, I started
getting paid. So my thought was if I'm here and
of lines, I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Prov I'm not gonna shut up, So he is admitting
right now that he did not know his after I
remember after after all, all right, jac One of.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
The great things though about this show is how they
built those romantic moments in without always having to say
it or speak to it, like when you were like,
he's clearly trying to kill you at the beginning of
the episode, like are you crazy, I'm gonna you know,
I'm gonna go there and I'm gonna to talk to
the guy and whatever, and then they cut to Zoe
and she just kind of gives like a little smile,
because it is pretty hot when a guy is like

(54:08):
I'm gonna come, I'm gonna protect you, I'm not gonna
let anything happen to you. But they didn't give her
any lines to it. It was just a look and
you got to commit fully to this sane exactly right,
Blane and go for without making it being.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
Like, yeah, but you know that.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
Like so, Liz's strength, in my opinion, is one she's
unthinkably funny. Her bits are crazy, but she's a really
romantic person and her writing, like you did that a lot.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
So your role a lot of.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
The times was Max would say something outlandish and crazy.
Then your character somehow in love with it, right, and
you've got to somehow he's got crazy eyebrows he's doing
so he has a monologue that most women aren't in
real life going to be like wonderful. But by you
doing that, that then tells the audience that that his

(54:54):
character is attractive. Yeah, so it is, like you know,
it's a it's a partnership.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
So the writing you, hey.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
Man, already makes all of us. You better kiss Jason
Wrightman's feet next time you see him.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
