Speaker 1: like chilling dude, usually have a surfer Yeah I'm not.
Speaker 1: You're all professional and stuff.
Speaker 4: Well, I wore it. I thought I'd dress up for
Speaker 4: you guys, because out of respect.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: Man, I'm excited to be on this show. I'm excited
Speaker 4: to talk to all of you, where I don't see Hannah.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Hannah was a problem with me. No, No,
Speaker 2: she she she's just take I think she's with her kids. Maybe.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She did want me to pass along a message to you.
Speaker 1: What is it? She said, Please don't let this be
Speaker 1: any type of negative space between the two of you.
Speaker 1: But she and her words were and I didn't make
Speaker 1: I could, I wouldn't say this Justin, but her words were,
Speaker 1: I don't fuck with him. That's what she said.
Speaker 4: Oh, like like, like, because I'm so hostile, Like, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't want to anger him.
Speaker 1: There're such an angry guy. You're an angry guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I'm now beginning to suspect
Speaker 4: that maybe she doesn't.
Speaker 2: She had a different experience of you, Justin than I did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so, because you you have I do
Speaker 4: one of them.
Speaker 2: I mean I worked with you a lot, and I
Speaker 2: never had that experience.
Speaker 4: But well, I wonder what I did to her. No,
Speaker 4: I think she was.
Speaker 2: Gonna be on, but then she was like, is it
Speaker 2: too many people to interview? Justin and then we were
Speaker 2: kind of all talking about when this is probably stuff
Speaker 2: to cut, but we were just like, oh, I worked
Speaker 2: with you the most, probably and then little more and
Speaker 2: Hannah didn't work with you as much. So I'm hoping
Speaker 2: to have episodes off when she interviews like, oh, I see, okay,
Speaker 2: it's sometimes we'll interview the people we worked with the most.
Speaker 4: Oh, that makes sense, so I shouldn't. I won't take
Speaker 4: it personally.
Speaker 2: Don't take it personally other than she doesn't fuck with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty personal. Okay, Yeah, oh my goodness
Speaker 4: with you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, man, thanks for doing that.
Speaker 1: Oh man, course, dude, Zoe, do you want we want
Speaker 1: to dive right in this and maybe get this intro
Speaker 1: out later or you want to oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh hi guys, welcome to Welcome to our show.

Speaker 2: a couple of people were asking why we call it

Speaker 2: welcome to our home, and now we're saying welcome to
Speaker 2: our show.
Speaker 1: We go.
Speaker 2: It's a stretch, but we'll take it.
Speaker 4: Right, and you start each show by saying that, welcome
Speaker 4: to our show.
Speaker 2: One of the names we could clear with legal. Also,
Speaker 2: we had so many other we had a lot.

Speaker 2: don't know if we can, but I don't say it
Speaker 2: very much myself, so Dan'll know that that's not that's
Speaker 2: against miamage.
Speaker 4: So I've just been quoting Hannah.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4: Quote that was a direct quote, and we don't I've
Speaker 4: just been quoting Hannah.
Speaker 2: I was just quoting Lamar in quoting Hannah.
Speaker 1: Right. I think we had what we had. We had
Speaker 1: a loft talk or apartment for D or no apartment
Speaker 1: for D.
Speaker 2: Is like it's already it's an already established podcast.
Speaker 4: That was Who's that? Who's that? Who's that? What's that?
Speaker 4: Podcet Now.
Speaker 2: We had oh, what was the one I loved? And
Speaker 2: they were like, that's not going to happen. Do you
Speaker 2: remember which one that was? Joelle? They were like, well,
Speaker 2: True Americans was one. They thought that sounded like too much.
Speaker 2: We were like military, Yeah, reminiscing about our times in
Speaker 2: the military. Uh so that didn't Yeah, they yeah, that
Speaker 2: didn't work.
Speaker 1: Was able to do Justin to come up because you're.
Speaker 4: Well, it's hard to well, no thanks, lamar idiot, but
Speaker 4: it's I feel you. It's hard to name things. And
Speaker 4: we had a hard time. You know. Of course we
Speaker 4: like I like stupid puns and so life is short
Speaker 4: with Justin long is what we settled on. But we
Speaker 4: had a lot of There were a lot of long
Speaker 4: puns that we played with, which sounds very arrogant, but
Speaker 4: it's just me doing it. I mean, I mean for
Speaker 4: you guys, it's like, I guess you'd have to have
Speaker 4: to do something New Girl related, and that's I'm struggling
Speaker 4: to come up with one, just one show.
Speaker 1: Your show is very very much so jeepers creepers themed.
Speaker 2: That is true, but it's creepers rewatch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been dissecting it for two and a half years.
Speaker 4: It is a deep it's deep, so you we need
Speaker 4: more time to unpack it. Cheepers creepers is it's crazy
Speaker 4: Lamaran that it comes up all at the time. Zoey
Speaker 4: and I we're just talking about things that people will
Speaker 4: come up to you about. And and that is one
Speaker 4: that just for for this low budget horror movie. It
Speaker 4: truly comes up all the time. It's been twenty something years.
Speaker 1: I know of two low budget horror movies that you've
Speaker 1: done that will never leave my brain. Never, yeh, never
Speaker 1: leave my mind. Speepers is one of them. It's it's
Speaker 1: the first time I was introduced to you as an
Speaker 1: actor and I thought, my goodness, this guy at the time,
Speaker 1: this kid is incredible. And the second time was Tusk
Speaker 1: and I if you guys haven't seen Tusk, don't It is.
Speaker 4: A terrifying great plug. What a great plug. Yes, do
Speaker 4: not see it if you haven't. If you have seen it,
Speaker 4: don't see it again. Yes, yeah, that's when you thought.
Speaker 4: The first one you thought, who is this kid? The
Speaker 4: second one you thought, what has this kid done to
Speaker 4: his career?
Speaker 1: Man? It's one of the dopest, most insane movies I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. And I saw it in the theaters and
Speaker 1: I said, think, I sent you a photo of me
Speaker 1: watching it, going what.
Speaker 4: Yes, And you're so nice about it? Actually? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 4: well my mom, you know, she I told her not
Speaker 4: to see it. My grandma was alive at the time
Speaker 4: and she was well into her nineties and they went together,
Speaker 4: so like she must have been the oldest person to
Speaker 4: have seen that movie. But for the few of you
Speaker 4: who don't know, it is a movie about a psychotic
Speaker 4: older man who turns I play a podcast, or actually
Speaker 4: I play like an obnoxious podcasts are such a stretch
Speaker 4: and he turns me into a walrus. Basically, he's fast.
Speaker 4: He was like past this obsession with walruses. And it
Speaker 4: was based on this actual thing that happened. A guy
Speaker 4: in England took out a Craigslist type ad for a roommate.
Speaker 4: He said the deal was free room and board and
Speaker 4: the only stipulation was that the person would have to
Speaker 4: dress like a walrus for for like three or four
Speaker 4: hours during the day.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a New Girl episode.
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, he does. It's very quirky,
Speaker 4: but it but it it turned out. I mean he
Speaker 4: did it as a as a joke, but he got
Speaker 4: like over four hundred responses people wanting to do that
Speaker 4: thinking it was a good deal. And Kevin Smith heard
Speaker 4: about this. They talked about it on his podcast and
Speaker 4: he was so taken by the story that he turned
Speaker 4: it into this kind of like hammer horror human body
Speaker 4: mutilation story and play the man. Well, Mike, this great actor,
Speaker 4: Michael Parks, who has had passed away unfortunately, but he
Speaker 4: had a real like cult following, and one of his fans,
Speaker 4: like Tarantino, loved him and put him in a bunch
Speaker 4: of movies and Robbed Rodriguez. These like tour guys would
Speaker 4: would cast him a lot, and Johnny Depp was a
Speaker 4: big fan, and so Johnny played a That's why he
Speaker 4: played the detective in that movie. So he did it
Speaker 4: kind of in this.
Speaker 2: Really, I haven't seen this. I'm not a big horror
Speaker 2: movie person, but it sounds interesting. Is it too much
Speaker 2: for me? Probably? I don't watch it.
Speaker 4: I'm begging you, yeah, do not. Of all people, we
Speaker 4: should have been talking about this new.
Speaker 1: We want to get to know you. We want to
Speaker 1: get to know yeah.
Speaker 2: So, so welcome to Welcome to our show. I already
Speaker 2: said that we have the incomparable crazy Town. Did justin
Speaker 2: long here today on Now aka Paul Genslinger.
Speaker 4: Yes, So.
Speaker 2: It was really cool because you came on our show
Speaker 2: first season and the Thanksgiving episode was your first your
Speaker 2: first episode and they were like, what do you think
Speaker 2: of justin long playing like your love and dress. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, that's amazing because I knew
Speaker 2: you were so talented. But what was cool about working
Speaker 2: with you is I saw how much work you put
Speaker 2: into everything behind the scenes. You you write a lot
Speaker 2: of You write a lot of jokes like on your own,
Speaker 2: like a lot of alt lines, and you're always like
Speaker 2: your mind is always going, You're always like trying to
Speaker 2: come up with like the best version of the scene.
Speaker 2: And the other thing that was really like cool to
Speaker 2: see about you was that you have an amazing kind
Speaker 2: of sense of physical comedy that was like reminded me
Speaker 2: of of like a John Ritter. And there was this
Speaker 2: stuff that got cut from that episode, but you did
Speaker 2: a full on acrobatic tumble over the cow over a couch, yes,
Speaker 2: and we were I was like, oh my god, this
Speaker 2: is incredible. This guy is like so funny. I remember
Speaker 2: then they cut it. I was so mad.
Speaker 4: That was a bummer. I remember somebody gasping when I
Speaker 4: did that, thinking that I had uh and and and
Speaker 4: the truth people thought.
Speaker 2: You really hurt yourself.
Speaker 4: I do remember, yeah, and I actually I have hurt
Speaker 4: myself in the path. I have a thing in my elbow.
Speaker 4: I have a little bone chip that I can still feel,
Speaker 4: and every once in a while if I hit it
Speaker 4: the wrong way and it's from something that something, I
Speaker 4: should stop doing this. This should be a lesson. It's
Speaker 4: something else. I got cut from a movie that wasn't
Speaker 4: very good that I really And the truth is I'm
Speaker 4: not trained as I'm a stunt person, but I love
Speaker 4: doing that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: That's why you messed up your elbow. Clearly you're not trained.
Speaker 2: No, exactly exactly Like I worked with Jim Carron. He
Speaker 2: did that stuff where he'd just be like I'm doing
Speaker 2: this and like he's like like I remember him going
Speaker 2: like okay, when you hear me say this line, move okay,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, like he didn't. He just whispered it
Speaker 2: to me. He didn't tell anybody else. He's like just
Speaker 2: he's well. He It was like I was behind this
Speaker 2: bar and he was like just move, like move to
Speaker 2: the right, to your right and move the glass. And
Speaker 2: I was like okay, and I I did, and he
Speaker 2: like full on did a similar thing to you where
Speaker 2: he leapt over a bar and did like a full
Speaker 2: front flip and surprised everybody because nobody knew he was
Speaker 2: doing it except I had an inkling because he kind
Speaker 2: of warned me, but I didn't know what he was
Speaker 2: going to do.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, was that yes man?
Speaker 2: Yes man?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes man, yes yes now yes yes person, yes person,
Speaker 4: that's the twenty Well that's so John Rider was my favorite.
Speaker 4: I mean I've watched I loved Three's Company. I loved
Speaker 4: him so much. And Jason Rider is a friend of
Speaker 4: mine and I.
Speaker 2: Me too, I grew up with him.
Speaker 1: Oh right, right, So the craziest.
Speaker 2: Thing is that John Ritter would come and be a
Speaker 2: room parent in our kindergarten class.
Speaker 4: What that's yes?
Speaker 2: And I remember this because for some reason my parents
Speaker 2: let me watch Three's Company. I was like three years old.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know why, but like it was I mean, look,
Speaker 2: I'm glad I did, but it was not necessarily like
Speaker 2: for there.
Speaker 4: A little probably missed some of the nuances, some of
Speaker 4: the especially with.
Speaker 2: The I just thought it was funny, you know, it
Speaker 2: was like he was funny.
Speaker 1: He would like you had John Ritter come to your
Speaker 1: class as a kid. Yes, so I had a street
Speaker 1: singing clown that is a clown who lived on the street.
Speaker 1: And he would show up at our school and lunch
Speaker 1: of breaks and sing to us.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I think. He sounds cool, but nah.
Speaker 1: He was a tricky guy.
Speaker 2: So so John Ridder would come in and like volunteer
Speaker 2: as a parent, like, and he would be sitting I
Speaker 2: remember because he was like a tall guy and Jason
Speaker 2: was in my class and he I remember sitting at
Speaker 2: a little tiny table in little tiny chairs with like
Speaker 2: construction paper and little baby scissors. And I walked in
Speaker 2: and I sat down and John Ridder sat next to me,
Speaker 2: and I was I knew Three Company was in syndication
Speaker 2: and stuff. It was on after school, like it was.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, you know, it was like.
Speaker 2: On at three PM or three yeah, three thirty. And
Speaker 2: I remember being like, what is happening? Like your mind
Speaker 2: must have been My mind was well because I still
Speaker 2: didn't understand like that people like, you know, I was like,
Speaker 2: did he come out of the tavy? Like what happened?
Speaker 4: You know? Yeah? And are we am I on the show? Now?
Speaker 2: He was so nice and I didn't know what Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, I was like I didn't know what to say.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to say. I was just like, huh,
Speaker 2: like it was very I'm imagining and he was so nice.
Speaker 2: And he was like sitting on this tiny little chair
Speaker 2: at this time cutting out construction paper with us in garden.
Speaker 4: Yes it is, and I and I'm imagining his perspective
Speaker 4: of like little Zoe, like being like awestruck with the
Speaker 4: big eyes looking up on it. Must have been so
Speaker 4: so nice. I've heard he was just the sweetest. It
Speaker 4: makes sense because Jason is just you know.
Speaker 2: I love Jason. Yeah, yes, and also so talented.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, so good. You guys did.
Speaker 2: You live No, we did for my first movie that's
Speaker 2: with Larry Casten. Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah, Jason, Jason
Speaker 2: is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Justin your career has brought you to the highest of heights.
Speaker 1: You've been all over the world, You've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of things. Yeah, it brings you all the way here.
Speaker 1: It's a new girl.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: So here you are. You're on our show. You know,
Speaker 1: people usually have the traditional audition process for a show.
Speaker 1: They go audition, they go get on the show. What
Speaker 1: was yours?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: How did you get on the show. Let's just let's
Speaker 1: start there. How did it even happen.
Speaker 4: Well, you know this, Lauren, because I know I don't
Speaker 4: know it either.
Speaker 1: I gave him a shot.
Speaker 4: You it was a fecasting couch situation. You were you
Speaker 4: claimed to be the casting director. I got a call.
Speaker 4: It was this is boring, but I I got a
Speaker 4: call from my manager saying there was this new show
Speaker 4: and it was just I just knew that Zoe was
Speaker 4: on it. And I always been such a fan of hers,
Speaker 4: and I thought she was so talented and sweet and
Speaker 4: I just wanted to work with her. It was as
Speaker 4: simple as that. So all I knew about it was
Speaker 4: it was playing Zoe's love interest. And I was like, yes, man,
Speaker 4: like the movie.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, ma'am, I will say this on the show.
Speaker 1: You guys have a very interesting romance. So the Esctor
Speaker 1: love this couple. This couple is.
Speaker 2: I mean in a way like Genslinger was like the
Speaker 2: most just like you know, the most, like the exact
Speaker 2: like the you know, just is exact like counterpart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was sort of pitched to me that way.
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah that it should be. And and and
Speaker 4: Joe and I were just talking about on my podcast
Speaker 4: the word quirky.
Speaker 2: Following us both around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and you know what I.
Speaker 2: Think it is, it's like unexpected stuff. And that's what
Speaker 2: makes me laugh a lot. Like when you when you
Speaker 2: walked in at the beginning of the of this recording
Speaker 2: session and and I'm like eating pretzels and then I'm like,
Speaker 2: what what are you He's like, Oh, you're eating pretzels okay,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are you eating? I was like
Speaker 2: granola and he's like, no, linils. Like that's where I
Speaker 2: make me laugh. That's what makes me laugh. And I
Speaker 2: think that like that's kind of like, I'm not it's
Speaker 2: not on purpose, but it's like, I think the things
Speaker 2: that come out of your mouth are unexpected and probably similar, Yes,
Speaker 2: make a thing out of more. Moving on you, I
Speaker 2: saw your I saw your face. He was ready, he
Speaker 2: got excited about het.
Speaker 4: Like, I love that. I love the way your show
Speaker 4: explored those moments and and allowed those moments to like
Speaker 4: breathe and a lot of the awkwardness was was created
Speaker 4: just from the silences and from the moments in between,
Speaker 4: and that I always felt like that's kind of that's
Speaker 4: definitely rare now. I mean, I feel like shows used
Speaker 4: to indulge in those moments a little bit more often
Speaker 4: and more consistently. But I remember one of my favorite
Speaker 4: scenes was just riding in a car with Jake and Uh,
Speaker 4: and I would just point out kind of mundane things
Speaker 4: on the roads and associations with like you know, and like,
Speaker 4: oh that I think that's where my my copies made.
Speaker 4: Jacob course is so over it, but I I loved.
Speaker 4: I mean, Zoe used this great word when we just talked, guileless,
Speaker 4: that that Paul that Genslinger has has guileless is jess
Speaker 4: that he had. There's an innocence that is really I
Speaker 4: loved playing like I really loved because I kind of
Speaker 4: aspire to be that present and positive and and and
Speaker 4: and take people uh in that kind of way, like
Speaker 4: treat people with that kind of positivity and and so
Speaker 4: anything any cynicism that that Jake's character had, or any
Speaker 4: any of you guys on the show had, I would
Speaker 4: just completely I just would. It wouldn't absorb it at all.
Speaker 4: Like he's he's such a an innocent that it just
Speaker 4: didn't affect him. I don't think he's dumb. I think
Speaker 4: he heard the jab.
Speaker 2: Oh. He also doesn't know why people don't like him,
Speaker 2: which is like so sweet, too, like he's like, it's
Speaker 2: a nice way to be I know, it's yeah, and
Speaker 2: and they should like him because he's nice.
Speaker 4: Well, well, I can also see why. Well. I also
Speaker 4: like the dynamic of the odd coupling of somebody like
Speaker 4: Jake who would get like annoyed by him. I mean,
Speaker 4: who's more cynical? Oh really, that's where you get your
Speaker 4: copies made? Oh no, no, I'm sorry, it's that place,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: I loved that. So that was such a funny scene.
Speaker 2: So a favorite memory of mine working with you was
Speaker 2: that we had that crazy, hilarious like the on the page.
Speaker 2: It was hilarious, the love scene where we're like supposed
Speaker 2: to be like were like trying to role play and
Speaker 2: it's kind of coming out in an awkward way. And
Speaker 2: I remember we were rehearsing and running lines and we
Speaker 2: just both started doing really weird voices just like out
Speaker 2: like just trying them, like just because we were like
Speaker 2: just running lines and it was just weird. Like it
Speaker 2: was late at night and we're like, why don't I
Speaker 2: try this one? And then we were doing we ended
Speaker 2: up doing the weirdest voices, and I remember you were
Speaker 2: doing a Jimmy Shirt voice. And then I was doing
Speaker 2: a couple of last voice and then I did this
Speaker 2: other like really weird voice, and then you laughed, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm gonna try it because just long
Speaker 2: laughed at it. And then and then they were the weirdest.
Speaker 2: It was the weirdest choices, but people ended up really
Speaker 2: liking them, and I was like, I was very bolstered
Speaker 2: by the fact that you were like playing along so
Speaker 2: well with all that like just weird, like the experimentation
Speaker 2: of finding those voices, like in that scene, it was
Speaker 2: just really fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so fun, Joey. I remember that voice made me
Speaker 4: laugh so hard that you did. It's like indelible. I
Speaker 4: can kind of do. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: I want to hear a re enactment of that scene.
Speaker 1: I start from the beginning.
Speaker 4: Well, i'd been I mean, Jimmy Stewart, I've been like
Speaker 4: working out.
Speaker 2: Wow, when I got a little more comfortable.
Speaker 4: Yes, oh years. But what you did with.
Speaker 2: That infection, your mild you it was.
Speaker 4: It was Harry Carrey kind of.
Speaker 1: It was very much so Harry ca.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who Harry Carrie is, so that's
Speaker 2: is so much no no idea who he is. It
Speaker 2: sounds to do an old lady, but that's okay, young mild,
Speaker 2: Young Mile. I was like, what happens if you put
Speaker 2: the voice in your nose and then stick it so
Speaker 2: far up your nose that you can barely breathe.
Speaker 4: Because you know when you're doing something that like, is
Speaker 4: so ridiculous that and this isn't exactly, this was definitely
Speaker 4: a case in point. You have to, like, you have
Speaker 4: to commit or you're screwed if you don't. If you
Speaker 4: don't commit full commitments, so we.
Speaker 2: Were cliff if you don't fully commit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm in that. But then if you go
Speaker 4: too far, if something like if something brings you out
Speaker 4: of it, you you immediately realize how absurd the thing is.
Speaker 4: And I think that's what happened. That's what happened when
Speaker 4: you did that, Young Maya, because it was like, it's
Speaker 4: just too much. And I hate I hate when when
Speaker 4: when something is funny, which that scene was. It was
Speaker 4: written really funny. You were being so funny. When I'm
Speaker 4: doing something like that, I feel so lucky that I
Speaker 4: I hate, I like really don't like breaking. I don't
Speaker 4: like ruining.
Speaker 2: Did you break?
Speaker 4: Especially on a TV show?
Speaker 2: I don't remember that because you were so funny. It
Speaker 2: was so fun.
Speaker 4: That was like it's on the outtakes broke when you
Speaker 4: said young, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's so funny because I just remember doing that, but
Speaker 2: I remember it was like a conspirausy, Like it was
Speaker 2: conspiratorial between us that we had like almost made a
Speaker 2: pack to make the most the weirdest version of that scene.
Speaker 2: And and it was really nice because you weren't like
Speaker 2: that was a little you know, maybe don't do that voice,
Speaker 2: or that was a little too far. It was just
Speaker 2: nice to have a scene partner who was like fully
Speaker 2: on board with the weirdest choice.
Speaker 4: Likewise, God, yeah, well that's what's fun about that again,
Speaker 4: Like if you don't, that's what it's that's the fun
Speaker 4: I mean, And that was so fun.
Speaker 1: In a scene like that. You know you obviously you're
Speaker 1: a funny guy, and you're bringing your own i mean,
Speaker 1: the both of you together. That scene was one of
Speaker 1: the funniest things that that I've seen on the show.
Speaker 1: But in real life, justin on the romantic side.
Speaker 4: Would you stop in school? Would you stop? What are
Speaker 4: you doing? No? I'm sorry, what.
Speaker 1: I just you know, you know, are you an old
Speaker 1: school romantic kind of guy where you might play some
Speaker 1: jodas Cy, you know, do a deep voices, tell her
Speaker 1: sweet things. Is this the Justin long or you want.
Speaker 2: To you want to do it the voice?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, yeah, I kind of do this, and I
Speaker 4: do a whole I'll do the.
Speaker 1: Damn Justine Justin that's.
Speaker 4: Hot in the morning, Like, let's pretend Justin stop. So
Speaker 4: you mentioned Mcaulay Culkin. I remember running into him at
Speaker 4: Don Hills. Do you remember Don Hills on Spring and Greenwich.
Speaker 4: It was this great in New York great bar where
Speaker 4: I was introduced to like a lot of you know,
Speaker 4: great like Pulp and uh, you know, like James all
Speaker 4: these like britt.
Speaker 2: Pop bands yeahs and uh.
Speaker 4: It was just so fun, like just dancing and cheap
Speaker 4: beer and y U students and but I remember seeing
Speaker 4: Macaulay Kulchin there and I was introduced to him and
Speaker 4: and he was and he was in character for a
Speaker 4: party monster oh really, And he was playing Michael I
Speaker 4: think his name is Michael. Like he was very kind
Speaker 4: of flamboyant and he was being that.
Speaker 2: And I never understand that the being like, look, I
Speaker 2: have all respect for all processes, but what an arduous
Speaker 2: thing the whole time. Must it just seems like so
Speaker 2: much and in a way like like like you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's kind of collaborative and it kind of can can
Speaker 2: like interfere with other people's processes.
Speaker 4: Sometimes, yes, yeh, So I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, I'm like whatever, like I've thought about it. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I pass on that for me.
Speaker 1: I mean, I always think that's the only way I'll
Speaker 1: get respected as an actor, as a factually committed to
Speaker 1: the process.
Speaker 2: To the process without taking it home. I mean, like
Speaker 2: even merit does like go home and you know talking,
Speaker 2: you know, like her character.
Speaker 4: Well that was the odd things. They weren't even shooting.
Speaker 4: I mean it was like he was just out. He
Speaker 4: was he was just out and yeah, he was just
Speaker 4: had an audition. But so my impression of him was
Speaker 4: that I.
Speaker 2: Had a years ago, I had a meeting with Kevin Spacey.
Speaker 2: He was making this movie about what's his name, Bobby Darren,
Speaker 2: Bobby Darren, Yes, yes, And I used to do this
Speaker 2: cabaret act and he'd come and seen it and I
Speaker 2: was like, like they were meeting me about the part
Speaker 2: of Sandra d And eventually Kate Osworth did that part.
Speaker 2: And it was yeah, she is. And and I I
Speaker 2: met him somewhere like for lunch or something, and I
Speaker 2: walk in. He's like, hey, hey over here, over here,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, he talked like Bobby Darren the
Speaker 2: entire job, and he's like.
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 2: He and I remember, particularly like, not knowing what was
Speaker 2: going on, he goes, I see two swinging cats doing
Speaker 2: a cabaret act and I thought, oh, yeah, he's like
Speaker 2: to swing and jazz cat ladies doing a cabaret act.
Speaker 2: And I was like what I was like? I was like,
Speaker 2: I was like, I had no idea how to react.
Speaker 2: Like I've definitely worked with like my share of actors
Speaker 2: who like do that. Usually it's like while we're working
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, I kind of yeah, you're
Speaker 2: on set, and that's that's fine. But it was weird
Speaker 2: meeting somebody for a movie and he's already a character
Speaker 2: and he called me a swing in jazz cat.
Speaker 4: So that's wild.
Speaker 2: The only time you ever been called the swing and
Speaker 2: jazz cat.
Speaker 4: Did you find yourself like kind of trying to adopt
Speaker 4: a similar.
Speaker 2: No, I was trying to get out of the meeting
Speaker 2: at that point. I was like get me out of here.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 2: I want to be seeing in this movie. I was like,
Speaker 2: I get a weird feeling about this guy.
Speaker 1: Was that what made you say no to the movie?
Speaker 2: Nobody offered me the movie. I was not chosen, but
Speaker 2: it was good because it was I was not. I
Speaker 2: think I was. You know, it would have been we
Speaker 2: wouldn't have I wouldn't have liked the four months of
Speaker 2: talking in jazz Daddy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be funny if now Kevin Spacey was like, Wow,
Speaker 4: that wasn't me that did that. It was it was Bobby.
Speaker 4: I was characters, Bobby Darren.
Speaker 2: I couldn't shake it.
Speaker 4: I got fired from a job an animated movie called
Speaker 4: Tale of Despero, uh, which I loved because it was
Speaker 4: all these great actors actors I loved. I got to
Speaker 4: it was an animated movie, but they were recording us
Speaker 4: some I wonder if you guys have done this where
Speaker 4: they like wanted us to be interacting and wanted all
Speaker 4: together with booms. Yeah yeah, or as together as we
Speaker 4: could be. We had body mics and stuff, and they
Speaker 4: because they wanted us to feel our interactions, you know. Cool.
Speaker 4: It was really cool.
Speaker 2: I did that. I did that on an animated movie.
Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, but they did.
Speaker 2: We were on a sound stage, yeah, and we had
Speaker 2: I guess we were like we had lavel years and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They you they let you let me go.
Speaker 4: It was because they I know, well I was playing
Speaker 4: I was playing a mouse, a kid mouse mouse. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well here's what happened.
Speaker 4: Say, well, because I said I loved that Gary Ross
Speaker 4: was the director, and I said, I was kind of
Speaker 4: pitching my voice up a little, like, you know, to
Speaker 4: play he was younger, and and Gary Gerry said, uh no,
Speaker 4: just do your voice like, we just want your you know,
Speaker 4: I don't want you to pitch it or do a
Speaker 4: thing affected at all. And and so I didn't, and
Speaker 4: I and I he they claimed that as they were
Speaker 4: animating to my voice, it just sounded too low, too
Speaker 4: rich roman. Who knows, I may.
Speaker 2: Have did they did you get replaced by an actual kid?
Speaker 4: James Earl Jones Matthew Broderick replaced me, which I was
Speaker 4: like so flattered by. I was like, I loved Matthew
Speaker 4: and I thought where would we who would be fine?
Speaker 4: I truly I grew up watching him, and I was
Speaker 4: weirdly flattered. I was like, well, Okay, if you're going
Speaker 4: to lose to somebody, lose to somebody, really, but who cares.
Speaker 1: You've done so oh voice broh.
Speaker 4: The irony is a couple. Like a month later, I
Speaker 4: got the Alvin and the chip Links job, which Zoe
Speaker 4: and I were just talking about, and I remember running
Speaker 4: into Gary I don't know how much later, and I
Speaker 4: said he was like, hey, sorry again about that. I said, well,
Speaker 4: I ended up playing a road in after all the
Speaker 4: computers they dig they enhanced my voice, made me sound higher.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was a bomber. It was a bomber
Speaker 4: because it was just such a great cast and Christopher
Speaker 4: Lloyd was It was a good Yeah.
Speaker 2: I worked with Christopher Lloyd.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well okay, so together refresh my memory.
Speaker 2: It was a little tiny movie called Flakes.
Speaker 4: Aaron Stanford and cheer O'Donnell. Yes, shot in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Yes, were you buddies with Kerr? Is that right?
Speaker 4: Friends with Yea?
Speaker 2: I love those guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, here and I like here I haven't
Speaker 2: seen in so long. But he was such a good friend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's so so hilarious and talented. But so we did
Speaker 2: this movie with Christopher Lloyd and I remember we were
Speaker 2: rehearsing for it and it was a little movie and
Speaker 2: like we didn't have anybody, like any runners or anything
Speaker 2: to like go get lunch. And I was like, I'll
Speaker 2: go get lunch. So I was like taking everyone's orders
Speaker 2: and like burritos or whatever we're getting. I was like
Speaker 2: getting Chipotle and shout out Christopher Lloyd, like in the
Speaker 2: most Christopher Lloyd way. Was like and get to some
Speaker 2: of those.
Speaker 5: Bingo and I'm like, okay, okay, however, and he's like
Speaker 5: one of them, get some.
Speaker 2: Of those albino things and I'm like, yeah, okay. He
Speaker 2: said it like four times, and I was like, this
Speaker 2: is like the best. I was like, I wish i'd
Speaker 2: had like camera glasses.
Speaker 4: Yeah he has. We had the funniest. We had a
Speaker 4: moment where he was playing like a mentor of mine
Speaker 4: and he gives me my character wants to be a knight.
Speaker 4: He and he's got this courage mouse. Yeah, the mouse
Speaker 4: that I got fired from. Uh and he so Christopher
Speaker 4: gives me a like a needle that is to be
Speaker 4: my sword. And his line was every good night needs
Speaker 4: a sword and he said, uh, so he said, every
Speaker 4: good night needs a sword and I remember Gary, the
Speaker 4: director said, that's great, Chris, uh we got that one.
Speaker 4: Bring it down a little bit because it's, you know,
Speaker 4: kind of an intimate moment, and uh so it's it's
Speaker 4: not so oh okay, okay, take two Every good nights
Speaker 4: are sure, you know and kind of the same. Uh
Speaker 4: and he Garry was like, yeah, yeah, just really bring
Speaker 4: it down, like very intimate, almost a whisper, you know,
Speaker 4: like it says this moment.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, every good night.
Speaker 4: You know, it was not the level that he had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were the one who was like, you're the one.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it reminds me of It reminds me of
Speaker 1: a moment that we had. Is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: moments actually on New Girl when you wouldn't call me
Speaker 1: by my name? Do you remember that moment you had
Speaker 1: to leave the scene.
Speaker 4: It was one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: I was walk us, walk us through what was happening
Speaker 1: in the scene. So here's here's here's here's what I
Speaker 1: remember from my point of view. The director said, just
Speaker 1: walk out of the the or just come on in
Speaker 1: and say hello. And you were like, I think it
Speaker 1: was Jake Johnson and I are I think you say Hey, Nick, Hey,
Speaker 1: Winston's and then you added an S to my name,
Speaker 1: and each time it was slightly different. What do you
Speaker 1: remember from from that?
Speaker 4: From that, Well, it's funny because I was just talking
Speaker 4: about this one. I remember being in church when I
Speaker 4: was a kid and trying to make my brothers laugh
Speaker 4: by standing out in like as subtle a way as
Speaker 4: possible from the conformity of like like the singing. For example,
Speaker 4: like if we were to like, like you know, if
Speaker 4: you we we had to say, like, h let us
Speaker 4: let us pray, I would say, let us praise, and
Speaker 4: I would just add like an ass sound to it,
Speaker 4: which stands out, which makes it stand out? Does or
Speaker 4: I try to be like the last, like the first
Speaker 4: one to rise to stand and the last one to sit,
Speaker 4: and I do it with my friend Craig Guiling, who
Speaker 4: was on the opposite side of the church, and we
Speaker 4: play like kind of it would be it was like
Speaker 4: church chicken to see who would sit the last, you know,
Speaker 4: so it's just the two of us still standing in
Speaker 4: this whole congregation people sitting. So that reminded me of
Speaker 4: that a little bit. I always found it funny to
Speaker 4: just get people's names slightly wrong. Your name was Winston.
Speaker 4: I think I called you. The reiteration of that will
Speaker 4: call me Wimbledon, Wilton, well Walton, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Justin This is the part of this is this is
Speaker 1: a part of your performance that has possibly gotten me
Speaker 1: in trouble in my life. So on New Girl, I
Speaker 1: had a nickname. I was Porcelain. I would always get
Speaker 1: Morris for the most random thing.
Speaker 2: Well, you would like stuff would happened that didn't seem
Speaker 2: like an opportunity to get injured and you somehow injure yourself,
Speaker 2: like getting up from the couch. I come up with
Speaker 2: that nickname, you know I didn't.
Speaker 1: Zoe came up with Porcelain.
Speaker 2: I did not. You know that was Jake Johnson's.
Speaker 1: Zoe would cut down the magazine. No, no, like a
Speaker 1: like a kidnapper and simulate notes. No, sir, dear Porcelain,
Speaker 1: trying to keep it together this episode.
Speaker 2: Please don't break your wrist again. No, no, you you did.
Speaker 2: You did get injured, but I think it was just
Speaker 2: bad luck.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: this part. I injured myself getting off of a couch,
Speaker 1: and let me explain why. There was a moment where
Speaker 1: a director once said to you, justin leave the scene,
Speaker 1: just kind of go quickly, and you would take your
Speaker 1: time in such a way that was so funny, and
Speaker 1: you would leave and then it was like, can you
Speaker 1: just go a little bit faster? And then the next
Speaker 1: take you bolted out of the door so fast, like
Speaker 1: you did a full sprint and ran out of the
Speaker 1: door and we were in tears. So a director was
Speaker 1: asking me to get off of the couch for like
Speaker 1: this is maybe a season or two later, and so
Speaker 1: I got up with Zoe and I were in the
Speaker 1: scene together, and they said, okay, when she does this,
Speaker 1: just get up and exit the scene. So I got
Speaker 1: up and they said, okay, let Mark, can you do
Speaker 1: a little bit faster? So I thought I was moving
Speaker 1: as fast as I humanly could. That made sense to
Speaker 1: the scene. So I got up and I walked out.
Speaker 1: He goes, I hate to do that to you, but
Speaker 1: if you could just move just a little bit quicker
Speaker 1: out of the scene, I said, okay, great. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull a justin long. I'm going to push
Speaker 1: myself off of the couch and leap over the table.
Speaker 1: That was my plan. I was going to aggressively push
Speaker 1: myself down. If you know that couch, the one that
Speaker 1: we always sat on on the loft, there's a dead
Speaker 1: spot in the cushion doesn't quite have that much cushion.
Speaker 2: It was a vintage couch like when we got it.
Speaker 1: And as I pushed myself down, my thumb goes down
Speaker 1: and I dislocate my thumb and you can hear it
Speaker 1: in the you can hear it in an old eddae.
Speaker 4: It just goes, Oh my god, is that embarrassing.
Speaker 1: It was not only embarrassing. I had to go to
Speaker 1: the emergency room.
Speaker 4: Dude, I had no.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I credit you for that.
Speaker 2: Well just oh oh.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you were to hurt yourself.
Speaker 4: I used to do a bit. I'm sure I did
Speaker 4: it on your show because I've been doing it since
Speaker 4: kindergarten that I got from John Ritter, not personally, but
Speaker 4: he would do this great thing with the door. I'm
Speaker 4: sure he got it from somebody. You know. It probably
Speaker 4: goes back to chaplain or something. But you you stop
Speaker 4: a door with your foot, I mean you just time
Speaker 4: it so that it's it hits your shoe, yes, perfectly
Speaker 4: right as it's.
Speaker 2: Jason Jason Ridder taught that to me, no kidding, and yeah,
Speaker 2: like in high high school or elementary, I can't remember,
Speaker 2: it was probably high school. I remember he would do
Speaker 2: that and then he was like, oh, yeah he showed
Speaker 2: me and then yeah, no, it's a great it's a
Speaker 2: great trick. I love that one.
Speaker 4: Well. I've been getting mileage from it since Kindrick, Like
Speaker 4: I remember, I remember like it was an indelible moment
Speaker 4: to me, indelible memory getting a laugh from that. And
Speaker 4: so I do it all the time. I would do
Speaker 4: it all the time. And I I was doing stuff
Speaker 4: one of our sponsors on the show is Bud Light
Speaker 4: Seltzer on our.
Speaker 1: Podcast Light to Bud Light Seltzer.
Speaker 4: And so I was doing like a bit for Instagram
Speaker 4: to you know, hitting my running into something. And and
Speaker 4: the key part of it is that you have to
Speaker 4: be wearing daring, protective footwear because that's what you're hitting.
Speaker 4: That's really what you're hitting is your feet. And I
Speaker 4: was I was with uh. I was also trying to
Speaker 4: impress my girl. I was trying to make her laugh
Speaker 4: because she had never seen me do that. And it's
Speaker 4: like a surefire lap. It's I could go to like
Speaker 4: Ace in the hole and I was wearing crocs. Oh geez,
Speaker 4: and yeah, and so I hit it. So I hit
Speaker 4: my foot so hard because I really, I like over
Speaker 4: committed to the bigs. I'm trying to impress her, trying
Speaker 4: to be funny for this thing on Instagram. And immediately
Speaker 4: I knew. You know that, you know when you get
Speaker 4: hurt trying to do something funny like more and like
Speaker 4: your couch thing, and you quickly have to do the calculation.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be you don't want to let
Speaker 4: on that you're hurt, because it's the most embarrassing thing
Speaker 4: to like get hurt doing something fun trying to be funny,
Speaker 4: to get hurt. So I covered it up at first,
Speaker 4: like I was like, but she must have seen like
Speaker 4: real pain, Like she must have seen me suppressing like
Speaker 4: genuine pain, because I was. I was. I was shot
Speaker 4: through my leg and shot all the way. This was
Speaker 4: this was broke. This was Kate Brooke and and and
Speaker 4: she was like yes, Kate bag and she was like
Speaker 4: she didn't really laugh, I was. She kind of gave
Speaker 4: me a consolation laugh. And then she goes and I'm sweat,
Speaker 4: I'm I must have had the weirdest grin plastered on
Speaker 4: my face because I wanted to cry. You know, it
Speaker 4: was that bad. It hurt that bad that I wanted
Speaker 4: to like, and she goes, are you okay? And I
Speaker 4: tried to play it off like, uh, yeah, what do
Speaker 4: you mean. She's like, you seem like you're in pain.
Speaker 4: And I had to come clean. I mean it was
Speaker 4: a moment where I was like, well, I have to
Speaker 4: this person can see. And so I had to admit
Speaker 4: that I had hurt myself. And I hurt myself so
Speaker 4: badly that I went I was hot, I was limping.
Speaker 4: I was like hobbling. I think I may have broken
Speaker 4: my toe. And I had to go shoot a movie
Speaker 4: in Bulgaria the next day. I had to travel so
Speaker 4: for the first and I was doing and then pray, yeah, exactly, joke,
Speaker 4: I'm getting brook.
Speaker 1: So justin you have this, you have this energy on
Speaker 1: set that is contagious for and obviously there's love for
Speaker 1: comedy that in a way, even the way you explain
Speaker 1: it just now, it's almost teacher like. It's almost like
Speaker 1: you could teach a class on this type of stuff
Speaker 1: you're directing. Now, you know what what is that like?
Speaker 1: Is this something you've always wanted to do? Is that
Speaker 1: something uh that you enjoy doing?
Speaker 4: Yes, thanks, Loren, I it's nice you to say, I think,
Speaker 4: and that's just along everybody show. Yeah, I do. My

Speaker 4: Stepping to the Baby, So keep.
Speaker 2: Miss miss misunderstands baby.
Speaker 4: Yes, but I I but it's the it's the again.

Speaker 4: beautifully by Frank. Cause I just love I love that movie.
Speaker 4: So that movie is always Yeah.
Speaker 2: That movie is so good. Richard Little Things, Well, that
Speaker 2: character that Richard Drivers plays is kind of like the
Speaker 2: lead character but then he's in he's like a narcissist character.
Speaker 2: And then this like super sweet guy who's like innocent
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways but also like but also stable,
Speaker 2: and he's stalking yeah yeah somehow, but he wins over
Speaker 2: the entire family.

Speaker 2: Oh my god, dark, it's dark? What is it? Six sixteen?
Speaker 2: Candle Candles and Pretty and Pink Oh yeah, those movies.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Oh really there's so much problematic stuff.
Speaker 2: I think it's sixteen candles, Yeah, sixteen candles.
Speaker 1: She sneaks in a room and hooks up it's someone
Speaker 1: and she thinks it's someone else or something.
Speaker 2: You know. So the one guy who's like the lead
Speaker 2: guy who you're supposed to like, says to Anthony Michael
Speaker 2: Hall like this was on TV or somehow. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: let me watch that movie again, and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god. So he's like he's going out with
Speaker 2: this girl who's kind of shallow, and then he's like,
Speaker 2: she gets really drunk. She's passed out in this car.
Speaker 2: And then the lead guy whose name I forgot, Jake Ryan,
Speaker 2: I think, just like the guy and he says, like
Speaker 2: Anthony Michael Hall character, he hands him the keys and
Speaker 2: it's like you take her, do what you want with
Speaker 2: her or something like that.
Speaker 4: Maybe he met like put her to bed and like
Speaker 4: to give her some water.
Speaker 2: The next day they wake up together and then she's
Speaker 2: like what happened And he's like like I can't remember,
Speaker 2: but she's like I think I liked it or something
Speaker 2: like that. It's so oh my god, not to say problematic, like.
Speaker 1: Of that caliber from back in those days. Would to
Speaker 1: change some of them? Would that be the movie you'd
Speaker 1: remake or would you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're like, I think we're due
Speaker 2: for some good team movies because again, like all the
Speaker 2: ones from the eighties are racist and problematic in various
Speaker 2: ways like either rape or racist or both, so ours
Speaker 2: we don't want. So maybe we're due for some more
Speaker 2: teen movies that we can feel okay showing darkest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, I haven't seen those movies in a long time.
Speaker 4: I hadn't seen The Jerk in a long ever. I
Speaker 4: hadn't I had not seen The Jerk, and it had
Speaker 4: been a movie that people that I really admired were like,
Speaker 4: you know, strongly recommended, and so I got to see
Speaker 4: that a couple of years ago, and I just I
Speaker 4: fell in love with that. I mean, there's some like
Speaker 4: there's racial humor in it, but it's it's at his expense.
Speaker 4: It feels like, you know, some of that stuff seems
Speaker 4: like if you looked at it through a very macro lens,
Speaker 4: it should you know, it could be problematic. But I
Speaker 4: think some of that stuff, if it was done properly,
Speaker 4: and by that I mean not not in danger of
Speaker 4: hurting anyone or alienating all.
Speaker 2: Oh god, Yeah, the character is probably like, it's funny
Speaker 2: because that that was one of the things that has
Speaker 2: been brought to our you know, not brought to our attention,
Speaker 2: but like people are like, how are you guys going
Speaker 2: to talk about the way Schmidt talks, which is on
Speaker 2: an episodic basis problem?
Speaker 4: Oh really in that that's a good question. Have there
Speaker 4: been things on the show that through a new lens
Speaker 4: you've had to re kind of explain or apologize for.
Speaker 1: Well, you had to, you know, there was a lot
Speaker 1: of even when it happened, a lot of explaining for
Speaker 1: me on that It was a crack episode where his
Speaker 1: character is he thinks that the best way to get
Speaker 1: to my heart is to.
Speaker 4: Get out of here, and.
Speaker 1: What is it to take me to to find crack?
Speaker 2: I don't remember this. I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I'm not joking because he's like asking me, like, what
Speaker 1: was it like living in the hood and all this
Speaker 1: Rollo the clown was our dealer?
Speaker 4: Wait, Lamurna, are you seriously? And what about how did
Speaker 4: Schmid talk?
Speaker 2: That was like but also a lot of yeah, there's
Speaker 2: there's so much Schmid. But the thing is we did
Speaker 2: establish that he's a douchebag from them and it was
Speaker 2: self deprecating.
Speaker 1: It was self deprecating. It was it was. It wasn't
Speaker 1: offensive to me because it was it happens. People are
Speaker 1: like that, people like he would talk differently to you, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he would like, you know, he wanted me to
Speaker 1: feel welcome and more included. So he was like, I
Speaker 1: want you to feel warm around me. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to take you to get some crack.
Speaker 2: Because I don't remember this because what was this in Lauren?
Speaker 1: I don't remember Joel, if we could figure that out,
Speaker 1: it was the episode it was it was I forget
Speaker 1: what it was, but I was. I was messing with him.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, Schmidt, you know when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, we used to we used to, you know,
Speaker 1: huddle up around the fire and like sing songs in
Speaker 1: a trash barrel, a trash can fire, and we would
Speaker 1: sing songs and then we would warm up to some nice,
Speaker 1: sweet crack. And he was like, see, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: you some crack, man, like I'm going to catch crack.
Speaker 4: But isn't then the joke on on Schmidt, I mean,
Speaker 4: isn't isn't it his own ignorance?
Speaker 1: And exactly that's what I was saying that's why I
Speaker 1: find it offensive because there are pea like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and every moment that Schmid had on the show where
Speaker 1: it may have been looked at with a cringe look,
Speaker 1: was a teachable moment for him because if you rise
Speaker 1: the show and is the way his character evolves, he
Speaker 1: is not that character in the end, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. And that is so great about the David
Speaker 4: Brank character and the Michael Scott character on the Office
Speaker 4: or Archie Bunker, is that you know it it reveals
Speaker 4: their own shortcomings, their own pre judices or biases that
Speaker 4: that are laughable, you know, if they're examined properly and
Speaker 4: you know, comedically. So I got I I didn't even know,
Speaker 4: but I know that everything is now being relooked, relooked
Speaker 4: at and rightly. So I think people are kind of
Speaker 4: doing a deep dive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's interesting just to look
Speaker 2: through a twenty twenty two lens and thing like, would
Speaker 2: we portray that character that way as a comment on
Speaker 2: people like that, or would there be you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: it wasn't up to me because I wasn't writing it,
Speaker 2: but yeah, or you know, or acting it. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's like there's people like that in the mix,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why I love All in the
Speaker 1: Family is because that's one of my favorite shows, is
Speaker 1: because you know, he's clearly telling on himself, and the
Speaker 1: audience is in on this and their characters around him
Speaker 1: that are letting him know, Bro, this is not this
Speaker 1: is not how we behave. It's not what you're have
Speaker 1: to be doing, like what and now?
Speaker 4: And I think I hope society is progressing to the
Speaker 4: point where we like it did during All in the
Speaker 4: Family time, where whoever is taking that at face value
Speaker 4: and enjoying it at face value and and doesn't see
Speaker 4: the irony in those jokes. I'm hoping eventually they'll just
Speaker 4: they'll I hate to say it, I they'll just die out.
Speaker 4: I mean they'll just die, like that way of thinking
Speaker 4: will die, and that kind of prejudice will That's I
Speaker 4: guess the hope. I don't know, Maybe that's too maybe
Speaker 4: that's too positive Genslinger way of like, I.
Speaker 1: Hope that idea dies out. Hope they just hope they learn.
Speaker 1: I hope they the.
Speaker 2: Develop the awareness.
Speaker 4: A lot of people don't grow, they don't a lot,
Speaker 4: especially if you're of a certain age. I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: I struggle with this sometimes. I'm not saying this is
Speaker 4: what we're talking about with my parents, but but you know,
Speaker 4: people were of a certain age, they're kind of setting
Speaker 4: their ways to this is this ageist? Am I being agist?
Speaker 4: Yes you are, Yes I am. I'm gonna pull up.
Speaker 4: I'm going to bail out of this theory that I had.
Speaker 1: It is episode twelve Cabin. Yeah, that's the episode, oh.
Speaker 2: Cabin, I remember, because that was we had Olivia mon
Speaker 2: on that one. And that's right, David Walton, where we
Speaker 2: all go to a cabin.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, you go to a cabin and do

Speaker 4: other and we've been doing it for a couple of year.

Speaker 4: love it. I've always loved doing podcasts because, as you
Speaker 4: can hear, I like to talk and I'm curious about people.
Speaker 4: I like, I like talking to people. And it's been
Speaker 4: such a blessing during the pandemic, of course, because you know,
Speaker 4: I just we just weren't going out and so it
Speaker 4: was a way to like lo mor than when you
Speaker 4: were on. It was a perfect example of this, like
Speaker 4: just to catch up with people that you don't normally
Speaker 4: get to talk to, people that you like from your life.
Speaker 4: So Jake Max was.
Speaker 1: On Worst Mass Max Max Greenfield, No, No, we're.

Speaker 4: that he has like kind of holes tattered underwear.
Speaker 2: And Josh was the gay wolf.
Speaker 4: Gay Josh was the gay wolf. Yeah, anyway, we're talking
Speaker 4: about because Vince vond calls it. But I'm working with

Speaker 4: been around. And he on the on curb he calls
Speaker 4: he refers to the underwear as being He goes, well,

Speaker 1: hidden for years for obvious reasons. Justin long, what's your
Speaker 1: favorite memory from your time working on New Girl?
Speaker 4: Oh? Man, you know it's got to be. I mean,
Speaker 4: we talked about it that it's got to be that sex.
Speaker 4: That it's weird to called a sex scene, a scene,
Speaker 4: a love erotic love scene. I I just remember laughing
Speaker 4: so much that day. Uh and and it was so
Speaker 4: weird and it was just so weird and fun to
Speaker 4: like commit to. I love that, you know, there were
Speaker 4: moments I actually felt bad there. I love playing around
Speaker 4: Lamurn with you and Max and Jake so much that
Speaker 4: I remember trying to stretch out scenes that were meant
Speaker 4: to just be filler scenes, you know, like yeah, like Zoe,
Speaker 4: I remember we had one way I basically just go
Speaker 4: to pick you up. It's like the scene is just
Speaker 4: like it's meant to get from like you got you
Speaker 4: in the room to like us on a date or whatever.
Speaker 4: And it's just me at the door being like let's go,
Speaker 4: and I the three of you more and Max and
Speaker 4: Jake were behind like there were you were in the
Speaker 4: background on the couch when you used to sit on couches,
Speaker 4: and and I remember kind of like leading around Zoe
Speaker 4: because I was like, are you ready to go? And
Speaker 4: she said yeah, and then just say hi to you guys.
Speaker 2: You made a lot of bits that were like that
Speaker 2: weren't in the script that that became like recurring bits
Speaker 2: that you just carried through, like you every time you'd
Speaker 2: see the guys trying to impress them. It was almost
Speaker 2: at a certain point like you liked them more than
Speaker 2: you were like trying to impress them. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: great how you'd carry those through. Well, it's real commitment.
Speaker 4: To something that would that is in an unprofessional way
Speaker 4: because it's something that you knew wouldn't be used. As
Speaker 4: someone who had been doing the show.
Speaker 2: Long, well, we knew a lot of it was gonna
Speaker 2: get gone.
Speaker 4: Yes, And and the indulgent part that I do have
Speaker 4: some regrets about was that I should have known that too.
Speaker 4: And there's something I'm a guest star. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: coming in just to like, you know, for a limited
Speaker 4: time and it's your show and and I but it
Speaker 4: was it only because I loved playing around, uh with
Speaker 4: with you guys so much that But I remember, Zoe,

Speaker 1: of the other characters.

Speaker 2: have to like curve bares, break our toes. Oh no,
Speaker 2: it would be improvisations.

Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: I it's it's a it's a show that comes up

Speaker 1: of this. And I was like, yo, what do you
Speaker 1: guys have a history or something because you.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad she was a part of this.
Speaker 1: Oh thought I heard you wrong.
Speaker 4: Well, you know I have a soft spot for Yeah,
Speaker 4: I like all Hannah's because my my pet this is quirky.
Speaker 4: Are like family pet growing up was a rabbit named Hannah. Yes,
Speaker 4: and even more quirky when Hannah passed away. We had
Speaker 4: it for for a long time. When Hannah the rabbit
Speaker 4: passed away, I went to the pet store to get
Speaker 4: another rabbit and I picked one out like like the
Speaker 4: smallest one, the runt of the litter, because I identified
Speaker 4: because I was the shortest and smallest and and I
Speaker 4: took it home and it started hopping around in a
Speaker 4: strange way, like its front paws were kind of splayed out.
Speaker 4: And I I picked it up, and I looked underneath it,
Speaker 4: and I realized it had no hind legs. It just
Speaker 4: had little not nubs, little like little snubs and and
Speaker 4: and so I took it back to the pet store
Speaker 4: and the guy, the kind of surly pet store owner
Speaker 4: was I. I said, sir, there's no I'm twelve years old.
Speaker 4: I was like, this's no. This rabbit has no legs
Speaker 4: and has no feet. And uh. He said, ah, all right,
Speaker 4: put uh, you'd pick out another one and he and
Speaker 4: he took it and he tossed it in a separate tank.
Speaker 4: Then the other one's a separacation. And I said, well,
Speaker 4: what's going to happen to that rabbit? And he said
Speaker 4: one of the pythons is going to get lucky? And yeah,
Speaker 4: So of course, you know, my little animal loving heart
Speaker 4: was I couldn't let this thing be eaten by pi.
Speaker 4: That's so I said, wow, okay, I'll I'll take it.
Speaker 4: I said, well, but can you knock off? Can I
Speaker 4: get like a discount or something? He said, I'll take
Speaker 4: five bus, I'll take five, but no five bucks. And
Speaker 4: at the time, I was like a twenty dollars, twenty
Speaker 4: five dollars rabbit, and so he gave five dollars off
Speaker 4: and I had and I called him Nubs and I
Speaker 4: had that rabbit. I took it to college. I had
Speaker 4: it like all throughout my freshman year. It lived for
Speaker 4: quite some time. For a rabbit with no feet, it lived.
Speaker 4: So that's kind of a Genslinger story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Well, she didn't want to be on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, were you guys? I have to go.
Speaker 4: You gotta go, Zoe, Thank you, Thank.
