Speaker 1: Hey babe, Yeah, babe, who are you with? Today's Outside?
Speaker 2: One of the most beloved characters from the New Girl universe.
Speaker 1: I want everybody to go. I mean, when fans watch
Speaker 1: the show, there are memorable moments, they're memorable characters, the
Speaker 1: memorable lines, and I think you are responsible for about
Speaker 1: fifty that.
Speaker 3: It's the I get recognized for the most. Really, yeah,
Speaker 3: it hands down, not even close. And I've been a
Speaker 3: regular on shows, this is still the one where people
Speaker 3: are come up and quote me lines, a lot of
Speaker 3: which I don't remember at all because a lot of
Speaker 3: this stuff was alts. You know, this is a show that,
Speaker 3: like I was like, Wow, you show up and you
Speaker 3: have your lines memorized, and you go into your trailer
Speaker 3: in the morning and there's a page two pages of alts.
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, So we had this conversation we were discussing
Speaker 1: a prior episode, that spot episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was my first one.
Speaker 1: What is your first one?
Speaker 2: That's introduction ab outside Dave because you're asleep on the
Speaker 2: car on Jess's car, I'm can I get you anything?
Speaker 2: And you say coffee two percent? And we were like,
Speaker 2: is that was that like improved or was that in
Speaker 2: the pack of all.
Speaker 3: That was improved that The original line was just She's like, Dave,
Speaker 3: can you move? And I screamed something at her and
Speaker 3: that was the original line.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then I think Zoe improvised I'm gonna go get
Speaker 3: a coffee you want anything?
Speaker 2: And it's like, two, that's really funny, I said to
Speaker 2: the morning, even though I know the alts that we
Speaker 2: all used to get handed all the time. When we
Speaker 2: did the recap of Parking Spot, I was like, I
Speaker 2: feel like he improved that and it made me laugh
Speaker 2: so hard because it's so specific and the refined taste
Speaker 2: of the unhoused of la O milk.
Speaker 3: That was great. That was like it was I was
Speaker 3: supposed to be one episode and done. Really Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then I think Zoe after that, I mean that took
Speaker 3: like ten minutes. You guys were a well oiled machine
Speaker 3: by the time I got there, Like Outside Dave scenes
Speaker 3: were never more than like twenty minutes worth of shooting.
Speaker 3: And then I remember Zoe going, oh my god, that
Speaker 3: character's so funny. We got to have him back.
Speaker 2: Ooh.
Speaker 3: That led to like many.
Speaker 2: More interesting I don't know that's how that all happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, folks, So Today we are reviewing the episode First Date,
Speaker 1: First Date, directed by Lynn.
Speaker 3: Shelton, Late Great Lynn Shelton, Lynn.
Speaker 1: Shelton, written by jj Fhilban and Berkeley Johnsons. All the
Speaker 1: big hitters, Yeah, also in this episode, and I want
Speaker 1: to I want to start by saying this episode was
Speaker 1: the I'm going to say, the start of a very
Speaker 1: funny individual, also by the name of Ron Funches. Ron
Speaker 1: Funch is also on this episode, and I shot him
Speaker 1: a text. I said, is there anything you remember about
Speaker 1: this episode in particular? And he wrote me this note,
Speaker 1: which is very lovely. He said, my main memory of
Speaker 1: that episode is Lynn Shelton. When I auditioned that role
Speaker 1: was not shirtless, and when I showed up and realized
Speaker 1: part of the joke was that I was fat and dirty,
Speaker 1: I was very self conscious. Lynn saw that and came
Speaker 1: over to me and told me that I could either
Speaker 1: shrink or own the situation and made me feel so
Speaker 1: powerful and funny. And the first time I made you laugh,
Speaker 1: I felt powerful and knew I wanted to act and
Speaker 1: wanted to get my health together so I could be
Speaker 1: more than the fat, homeless guy. And I remember shooting
Speaker 1: there's a flashback scene where I'm on a date and
Speaker 1: he comes up and he starts singing father Figure, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going to happen or who
Speaker 1: was preferred. I didn't know. And when he started doing it,
Speaker 1: when I tell you, I kept breaking characters so much
Speaker 1: that we kept having to redo it, I was in tears.
Speaker 2: Funny when you see the actress in front of you,
Speaker 2: you can see her break and she turns her head
Speaker 2: and she covers her mouth and her face and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: she can't hold it together. Yeah, And she probably felt
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure too to be like, I can't
Speaker 2: screw up this scene. This man is fully in song.
Speaker 2: You know. It's different than I think when you were
Speaker 2: like a regular on the show or whatever the thing is.
Speaker 2: But I watch her fully break because they just I mean,
Speaker 2: they gave him so much airtime. They did too some times.
Speaker 2: He's the tag as well as well.
Speaker 1: So that was man.
Speaker 2: That's also just the power of Lynn. I have so
Speaker 2: many stories too about her just being able. She could
Speaker 2: just see when you felt vulnerable and you didn't have
Speaker 2: to really say anything, and she would show up and
Speaker 2: somehow empower you in that feeling. There's a reason why everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, I have goosebums talking about it right now.
Speaker 3: That was my first time working with Lynn and we
Speaker 3: became great friends. Like she was when my mom passed away.
Speaker 3: Lynn was like really responsible for keeping me sane and
Speaker 3: like really yeah. It was during COVID and so Lynn
Speaker 3: and I would there's an app called Marco Polo where
Speaker 3: you video each other and Lynn would like every day
Speaker 3: check in on. Yeah, she was the best.
Speaker 1: That's great, man. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Such, she has such a giving heart. Man. We love her,
Speaker 2: We miss her. We're so lucky that we like got
Speaker 2: to be in her world for as long as we did.
Speaker 1: So you down to break down this episode with us absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know what goes through kind of beat my beat
Speaker 1: a little bit and also just you know whatever you
Speaker 1: feel like.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So in this episode, Nick and Jess they go on
Speaker 1: their first official date. However, they flip flop more than
Speaker 1: a politician around Electric Year and it's you know, they
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a date or not, and it's
Speaker 1: a whole stupid thing they do. Meanwhile, Schmid and Winston
Speaker 1: they're afraid to They're afraid they will lose Nick, you know,
Speaker 1: because Nick is the glue that holds their friendship together
Speaker 1: and that will happen there for you if he starts
Speaker 1: to date Chest. So they come up with an elaborate
Speaker 1: plan to sabotage the date that includes free drinks, stealing
Speaker 1: a bear from the zoo, and outside days everyone's favorite
Speaker 1: homeless guy. So let's let's dive right into it. Let's
Speaker 1: start from the top. Winston tries to sneak into his
Speaker 1: room the phone charger.
Speaker 3: That is so mental for a premise, like they have
Speaker 3: one phone charge.
Speaker 1: It was like, what, well, when you buy a phone,
Speaker 1: it comes with one.
Speaker 2: Yes, well she was saying, just says it's a bonding
Speaker 2: thing for all of them, right, But then also like
Speaker 2: a joke that they're not all really doing it except
Speaker 2: for Windnsday.
Speaker 1: Like the fact that he's trying to like on the
Speaker 1: low like all this, Like, bro, just put one in
Speaker 1: your room, no one's coming.
Speaker 2: That's what she's like. I have nine phone judges in
Speaker 2: my phone in my room or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what Jake says, His phone doesn't even take
Speaker 3: that kind of.
Speaker 2: Exactly right.
Speaker 1: What I found interesting about it is that the guys
Speaker 1: take action. They try to fight Winston. They like wrestle
Speaker 1: him down onto the floor and then Jess is like
Speaker 1: I got him. He's like, you don't.
Speaker 2: It's just walk away slowly, there's no problem.
Speaker 1: Okay. My favorite line of that is when Schmid calls
Speaker 1: you cannot run the Jewish.
Speaker 2: Jewish and then he does the run like you're just
Speaker 2: going why so much? You're gonna go so far with
Speaker 2: this ridiculous run, We're almost going backwards. You're going so slow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, classic Nick and Jess. They stand in front of
Speaker 1: each other, not sure what to say. He puts his
Speaker 1: hand on Jess's boob.
Speaker 2: By the way, like there was I also forgot that
Speaker 2: that ever happened.
Speaker 3: What are upper boob? Upper boom? Under said yes, and
Speaker 3: by the way, did you notice the hand physician and slipping.
Speaker 1: A lot of.
Speaker 2: Boob touches in this episode because they could not cut
Speaker 2: together unless it was very Kubrick of them, like we're
Speaker 2: just going to keep making everyone feel slightly uncomfortable through
Speaker 2: the cut.
Speaker 1: It was initially because he says he's an under boob guy, right.
Speaker 1: Initially my question when when when it was happening, I
Speaker 1: was like, is that a TV thing? Like he can't
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: Think he could have grabbed her boobs I'm sure that's
Speaker 2: probably what was wanted, and it's like, you can't, so
Speaker 2: I'm just going to touch the upper part of your
Speaker 2: chest because that's as far as we can go in
Speaker 2: network television and then roll with it.
Speaker 1: That's difference between network television and like I was watching
Speaker 1: I was watching Anything But You the other day and
Speaker 1: they went they was touching butts and boobs. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: but PLA's going for it? Oh whole butt out.
Speaker 2: No, I've not seen you.
Speaker 1: Haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just watching this show.
Speaker 1: A lot of episodes, a lot of episodes. Jess shows
Speaker 1: ce Cee what Nick did you know? And CEC says
Speaker 1: it looks like the pledge of allegiance that can't be
Speaker 1: which can be sexual?
Speaker 2: Hand on hard, I got it?
Speaker 1: Okay, what else we got? Jess explains to CC it's Nick.
Speaker 1: He's never going to tell her how he feels that
Speaker 1: I was going to be awkward and she needs to
Speaker 1: stop thinking it's going to change. Now. Here's what I
Speaker 1: found interesting about this, this back and forth with them.
Speaker 1: There's so much Typically in a show, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of build up, the will they won't they, and then
Speaker 1: it happens or it doesn't happen. In this show, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of like, oh, we can't. Then nothing happens,
Speaker 1: then they have their own thing. I'm I'm not lying
Speaker 1: to you. I got so confused. I was like, didn't
Speaker 1: they already do it? Didn't aren't they already together in this?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, they're not.
Speaker 2: Like no, but this was I think like the gift
Speaker 2: of like Liz Meriweathers and I think white people love
Speaker 2: the show and responded so much. It was just so
Speaker 2: much of that was like real life and real relationships.
Speaker 2: It's messy, you made out and we shouldn't do it.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, then we're back in as opposed to just
Speaker 2: like some rom com comedy where it is just the
Speaker 2: will they want they attention forever. And then in the
Speaker 2: final season, in the final episode, basically relationship time, like
Speaker 2: what but that's not real life. These are like people
Speaker 2: in their late twenties, they're living together. It's a bit
Speaker 2: of a disaster.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 1: There's all these characters we obviously we were talking with
Speaker 1: outside Dave, but there's always these characters that are that
Speaker 1: are mainstays for for tr.
Speaker 3: Tran, such a great happy Smiley yes, silent character.
Speaker 1: The interaction between Nick and him is always some of
Speaker 1: the funniest stuff because he's not saying anything. What a
Speaker 1: dream roll dream roll.
Speaker 3: That and coma.
Speaker 2: God be able to sit there smile and you can
Speaker 2: also tell again and when you know someone really well,
Speaker 2: how happy Jake Johnson is in that scene that he
Speaker 2: gets to sit there ramble be weird scene. He own
Speaker 2: the scene. But he loves being He talked to us
Speaker 2: about this before. He was like, loves being in a
Speaker 2: two shot with somebody. He likes to bounce off, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And you could just see why
Speaker 2: that I think probably, I bet you it's a similar
Speaker 2: story with the with the with the Trand character. Probably
Speaker 2: was supposed to be a one off and then Jake
Speaker 2: was like, no, no, keep this.
Speaker 1: Gem.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Then you get to see into his mind a little bit.
Speaker 2: And then he practices asking Jess out on a date
Speaker 2: yes with Trand, which by the way, comes effortlessly unlike
Speaker 2: when he actually is in front. Yeah, it was just
Speaker 2: really funny. He feels more comfortable Tran.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: We're going to go to break and when we come back,
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to dive into this episode, there's
Speaker 1: a loss to talk about. We'll be back.
Speaker 2: First before we get into the storyline, right, which is
Speaker 2: you guys just trying to break this tension of Nick
Speaker 2: leaving the glue together. You know, he's the glue that
Speaker 2: keeps you and Wincident Schmidt together. I talk about this
Speaker 2: incredible episode with outside Dave, Steve tell us how did
Speaker 2: you get on the show? Do you remember how you
Speaker 2: were asked? Do you remember what it was like? Was
Speaker 2: their casting? How did they go down?
Speaker 3: So that first episode, the Parking Spot, a guy I
Speaker 3: used to do sketch comedy with around La Fred Goss
Speaker 3: was directing that episode and they were about to start
Speaker 3: casting it and he approached Aaron O'Malley, who was the
Speaker 3: EP of a show I used to be on called
Speaker 3: The Sarah Silverman Program. So I already knew Aaron and
Speaker 3: Fred said, hey, I know this guy's Steve ag who
Speaker 3: might be goad. Aaron was like, he's perfect. They just
Speaker 3: offered me the part. It was again one episode, and
Speaker 3: it was like one line, so it was not like
Speaker 3: a crucial part, and it just stuck. Zoe loved it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the crew loved it, and my experience was I think
Speaker 3: The writers especially loved writing for Outside Dave. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: because you can just be so weird, just out of
Speaker 3: left field with him.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this episode in particular. Do you
Speaker 1: remember anything specifically about this episode? There was a lot happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big outside Dave episode because he becomes
Speaker 2: inside Dave.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, usually Outside Dave episodes there is a pattern. It's
Speaker 3: close up of someone like Schmidt pouring out his heart.
Speaker 3: He's got he's got a conundrum. He's like, I don't
Speaker 3: know what to do with it. They're treating me like
Speaker 3: I'm a child, and it's a very deep, intense conversation.
Speaker 3: And then and they cut to he's sitting across the
Speaker 3: table from me at an outdoor cafe and I say
Speaker 3: something insane and then it goes to a commercial. That
Speaker 3: was My scenes were usually like fifteen to twenty minutes
Speaker 3: of shooting. Wow, very little. I showed up one day.
Speaker 3: Outside Dave was a mess, and I showed up one
Speaker 3: day and hair and makeup goes, you look great. There
Speaker 3: was one and I think it was a scene with
Speaker 3: you where I'm like giving CPR to a bug or something,
Speaker 3: and I showed up and they were like, all right,
Speaker 3: you look good, like they didn't do anything to me.
Speaker 3: I had a big beer because I was shooting something
Speaker 3: at the time. And yeah, but most of my scenes
Speaker 3: were just a there were very few multiple days with
Speaker 3: me on set.
Speaker 2: And did they just let you go and improv a
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff after you'd done the big alt pack.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We would always do the first the line as
Speaker 3: it was written in the and I would sometimes throw
Speaker 3: something out. A lot of times it was the writer
Speaker 3: in fact that scene with Schmidt and an outdoor cafe,
Speaker 3: it cuts to me and I've got a little action
Speaker 3: figure in my pocket and I take it out and
Speaker 3: there were a thousand lines of me what this guy is?
Speaker 3: And I think it was Matt Fussfeld and Alex who
Speaker 3: gave me the line. His name is Connor and he
Speaker 3: went to sunny Binghamton. I didn't know what soony Binghamton was,
Speaker 3: but yeah, that it was very very quick, quick stuff
Speaker 3: with outside Dave. This was great because it was like
Speaker 3: I was there for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: A couple of days I would say, I would say
Speaker 1: talk to us about let's let's let's dive into this
Speaker 1: actual moment. We're going to go back and we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about what's happening with the with some of
Speaker 1: the a story, but I definitely want to dive into,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the actions of outside Dave in
Speaker 1: the the hijinks. How do we get here? Help me
Speaker 1: set this one up?
Speaker 2: Well, how outside Dave becomes inside Dave? Do you remember that?
Speaker 2: Do you remember how the story?
Speaker 3: Yes? So you guys mean you guys come to me.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna raise this. You guys come to me outside
Speaker 3: and you're like, Dave, how what would it cost to
Speaker 3: get you to break up a date? And I'm like
Speaker 3: four million dollars and something else? My part is YouTube
Speaker 3: turning away, he goes and Max going, I don't have
Speaker 3: you have roommates four million? And then you're like, how
Speaker 3: about two sandwiches and something.
Speaker 2: Home cooked sandwiches?
Speaker 1: Cooked sandwiches also the.
Speaker 2: Greatest thing home cooked sand.
Speaker 3: And my counter is one sandwich. And then we later
Speaker 3: cut to you guys letting me into the loft and
Speaker 3: I immediately knock something over and run.
Speaker 1: Yes, you pull down that. So what's what's funny about
Speaker 1: that particular? Uh? What do you call it? The little
Speaker 1: stand with all the stuff on, It's like a football
Speaker 1: and a bunch of stuff. They were really particular about
Speaker 1: continuity of that thing because there are times where like
Speaker 1: I did improvise a bit where I take something off
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, we got to make sure they
Speaker 1: take pictures of it that stays the same way. And
Speaker 1: I found it so funny that you immately come in
Speaker 1: and throw it on the ground.
Speaker 3: But I didn't even know if that was in the script.
Speaker 3: I think Lynn told me. I think Lynn told me, like,
Speaker 3: knock something over when.
Speaker 1: You knock down pretty big.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of continuity right there.
Speaker 1: One of my favorites. And I don't even know how
Speaker 1: they they I don't know how they shot it because
Speaker 1: Jake talked a lot about in this In the episode
Speaker 1: Pepperwood when he's trying to break into the thing, the
Speaker 1: stunt he didn't actually do the stunt.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when he's breaking into Edgar's shed.
Speaker 1: Do you remember filming when when Schmid had to come
Speaker 1: down from the thing and film that. Talk to me
Speaker 1: about that day there.
Speaker 3: So your bathroom, which was amazing on the show, had urinuals. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like that is so crazy. Yeah, I go in, lock
Speaker 3: myself in and Max hears me like using his razor
Speaker 3: and stuff, and he is freaking out, like so you know,
Speaker 3: OCD and neurotic, and so he's like, I gotta get
Speaker 3: in there. And so he goes up to your roof
Speaker 3: where there's a skylight and he lowers himself in and
Speaker 3: you just hear from the outside him screaming as he
Speaker 3: lowers himself in. And they did a reverse. Okay, there's
Speaker 3: a reverse of Max like hanging. I don't remember them
Speaker 3: shooting that, but it's a practical shot that they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was so confused when I was again
Speaker 2: because I didn't remember the episode, so I was like,
Speaker 2: where's the thud? Because you think he's just going to
Speaker 2: fall through and it's not. It's only when Winston then
Speaker 2: kicks the door in and then we see that you're
Speaker 2: holding him.
Speaker 3: We have got his leg and one leg to shave
Speaker 3: him his wife.
Speaker 1: My favorite part about that episode there's always a in
Speaker 1: a future episode I do this. I've always there's a
Speaker 1: bit that I've always wanted to just do because I
Speaker 1: used to write a lot of sketch and I've always
Speaker 1: wanted to do this bit. I never did it where
Speaker 1: you would show a urinal a line of urinals and
Speaker 1: you show just the backs of men pissing, and then
Speaker 1: there's one that's blank, and then you go back and
Speaker 1: you lower it and you realize some guys taking a
Speaker 1: ship in there. I always want to do that and
Speaker 1: and I just I just love the fact that you're sitting.
Speaker 2: There, how many you just kind of.
Speaker 1: Put together in the.
Speaker 3: Bathroom, And I love that you run in to save
Speaker 3: Schmidt and he's like, catch me and you do not
Speaker 3: catch him now, and he's still like, oh, you saved
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bonded Now.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a lot of like flash forwards and flashbacks.
Speaker 1: So we talked about this another episode where Winston another
Speaker 1: another moment where I find it to be well. The
Speaker 1: New go writers I think connected dots pretty well where
Speaker 1: he's And even in this point, I'm not one hundred
Speaker 1: percent sure we've established him as a shitty, shitty prankster.
Speaker 1: When he's talking about shooting catching a catching a come on,
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know if I'm you know, be
Speaker 1: still bear.
Speaker 2: So we have this thing. There's this big fan theory, Steve,
Speaker 2: just so you know that, and every single episode of
Speaker 2: New Girl, there is a mention a photo someone says
Speaker 2: it of the bear, a bear, any bear. There's just
Speaker 2: this thing because it's.
Speaker 3: So a bear mentioned in this one. H.
Speaker 2: I know, well, I would just like to say in
Speaker 2: season two, I have struggled a little bit a little bear.
Speaker 2: I believe this fan theory deeply. I have struggled a
Speaker 2: lot of it. And so when I watched this episode,
Speaker 2: I genuinely screamed out loud because because he gives me
Speaker 2: so much shit for it that this there is no
Speaker 2: truth in this theory and it is all instead it
Speaker 2: is yeah that says the word bear still out.
Speaker 1: There, shoot that bear full of Hepsi's.
Speaker 2: A breakup that Nick Jenson and Max.
Speaker 3: Is like, we wouldn't even need to give it. Restaurant
Speaker 3: would be fun, but.
Speaker 2: It's a too big, too small prank world. It's slowly
Speaker 2: being established, and I don't even think intentionally. They're just like,
Speaker 2: this is a weird, fun thing, and then they fully
Speaker 2: lean into it because it's just so funny.
Speaker 1: So let's go back, let's talk about let's talk about
Speaker 1: this date or not date, or them just going out
Speaker 1: to eat.
Speaker 2: Well, he wasn't very clear when he asked her at
Speaker 2: the door and just had some words fall out of.
Speaker 1: His mouth food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very bizarre.
Speaker 2: And then gets dressed. The boys dress them, and I
Speaker 2: guess Winston is like a low key barber.
Speaker 1: Which is which is true to life, because we talked
Speaker 1: about this when we had Jake on the podcast. His
Speaker 1: hair he looked like he was wearing like a helmet,
Speaker 1: like a like a circular helmet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, man, what and you did
Speaker 2: in real life help m with his hair?
Speaker 1: I told that true. Yeah, I told him. I was like,
Speaker 1: you gotta talk to the you gotta talk to the hairstylist.
Speaker 1: I was like, I think she's laying your hair down
Speaker 1: too much here. You gotta have it lower here in
Speaker 1: a little bit of And then once that happened, he
Speaker 1: became a sex symbol.
Speaker 2: And they wrote it into the show. They're just like,
Speaker 2: let Winston help them with the hair. Let Schmid dress him.
Speaker 2: Which I also feel like I have a feeling that
Speaker 2: Max would help Jake. We would have to go and
Speaker 2: your press things and be like, can you just what
Speaker 2: are you going to wear it? What are you going
Speaker 2: to do? Put the clogs off, man crocks, get the
Speaker 2: cross off your feet.
Speaker 1: So they're outside of this place. And here's the part
Speaker 1: that I don't know why it's a stupid comedy, and
Speaker 1: that it pissed me off that he kept getting Jaywalking
Speaker 1: tickets and all he did was step in the street
Speaker 1: fully go across. He didn't fully go across. By the way,
Speaker 1: you have to go.
Speaker 3: That is the great Brian Stack as the cop a
Speaker 3: writer on Conan O'Brien. You would recognize him on that
Speaker 3: he because the writers on Conan used to always write
Speaker 3: themselves into the sketcher, so you know Brian from and
Speaker 3: now he writes for Colbert. And I have a very
Speaker 3: specific memory of showing up one night to shoot and
Speaker 3: I knew Brian really well, and he looked mortified, and
Speaker 3: I go, hey, how is shooting? And he's like, oh
Speaker 3: my god. He goes, I don't know how to ride
Speaker 3: a motorcycle. He's like, and they have me on this motorcycle.
Speaker 3: He goes, we did a take where I get off
Speaker 3: the motorcycle and it fell over. He goes, I knocked
Speaker 3: it over and he goes, I am so horrified by that.
Speaker 3: And that's the take.
Speaker 2: By the way, it was one of my biggest laugh
Speaker 2: out loud moments because you can see, like just the
Speaker 2: way he's playing this character. He's the energy of him
Speaker 2: trying to be like a good cop and he knows
Speaker 2: he's going overboard, but he's just trying to do a
Speaker 2: really good job and he's so nervous, but maybe that's
Speaker 2: how he really.
Speaker 3: There's no coverage, it's the back of him going trying
Speaker 3: to pick the motorcycle. Oh dear. He's very like Wisconsin, midwestern.
Speaker 3: So that was a mistake that they kept it. But
Speaker 3: he felt so horrible. He's like, I don't know why
Speaker 3: they hired me. He's like, I think I might get fired.
Speaker 3: Felt terrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why you never This is for any actors
Speaker 2: that are like listening is like, you never break in
Speaker 2: a scene, even if you make a mistake, even if
Speaker 2: it all goes wrong, even if you're in your own
Speaker 2: head of it. Sometimes it's the best stuff because it's
Speaker 2: so real. Yeah, and you made you fear, even though
Speaker 2: this cop had just been like so terrible to them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they say you your heart went out to him in
Speaker 2: that moment because it was authentic. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: There's a new law I think in Los Angeles County
Speaker 1: that you can jaywalk as long as it's safe to do.
Speaker 2: So I love they change it.
Speaker 1: They changed it.
Speaker 3: Let's go. They change as soon as we're done recording.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing you just said. He didn't he
Speaker 2: just stepped into the road. Do you for it to
Speaker 2: be called jaywalking? Do you have to like like a
Speaker 2: little chicken, you got to make it to the other side.
Speaker 3: In my head, it's at least halfway. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I've got made up rules, but I'm like, if I
Speaker 3: get halfway, clearly I'm trying to.
Speaker 2: But if you just get out of your car on
Speaker 2: the driver side and then drop a pack of gum
Speaker 2: and you're just like going to get like, what qualifies
Speaker 2: as jay walking?
Speaker 3: I mean we should I guess text Berkeley right now.
Speaker 1: Because I did the math on that. That's like, I
Speaker 1: think over one thousand dollars in tickets he got.
Speaker 2: Well, that was the part that made it something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a grand He pays with you for a
Speaker 2: nick is like, might as well be four million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It felt so crazy, and that's why it made me
Speaker 2: laugh so much. At the end of the episode, when
Speaker 2: he realizes there's Valet, yes, but he would never pay
Speaker 2: for Vala because he's so broke because he didn't pay
Speaker 2: for Vala. He made a grand in tickets, which also
Speaker 2: feels very la. They find a way to just make
Speaker 2: you feel like you screw up with your parking and
Speaker 2: get that money.
Speaker 1: This restaurant baso, Yeah, where is that that used to?
Speaker 1: That's in Hollywood. That's in Hollywood. I've been there a
Speaker 1: couple of times. Really, No, it was the.
Speaker 3: Sign of the restaurant was actually based.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that that was Eva Longoria's restaurant.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. We shot there again actually in
Speaker 2: the final season. That's funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Dermot mulroney, Fancy Man was in this one.
Speaker 2: Fancy Man the only man we both ever loved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love when he's on the show. This
Speaker 1: one was interesting because what I didn't realize because his hair,
Speaker 1: sorry to keep going back to hair, he had the
Speaker 1: long old school like eighties Wall Street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Hall Street, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I didn't know. I that was shocking. That
Speaker 1: made me feel And I don't know why this thought
Speaker 1: went through my head, was that we shot this show
Speaker 1: like a long time ago in the eighties. I mean
Speaker 1: it was a long time ago.
Speaker 3: Corporate Wall Street.
Speaker 2: The thing that made me laugh too, is when he
Speaker 2: approaches the table and they're all talking and then he's
Speaker 2: on a date, and right, I just related to it
Speaker 2: so deeply as a human being or at the energy
Speaker 2: goes my brandy. It was awesome, Like and also I'm here, Yes.
Speaker 3: That was awesome.
Speaker 1: Has any off? When I watched this episode and on
Speaker 1: this podcast, we talk a lot about personal experiences with
Speaker 1: the subject matter of this show. Any weird dating things
Speaker 1: in your life, any awkward will they won't, theys in
Speaker 1: your personal life, anything you can relate to and with this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not not.
Speaker 3: On a level of this show, because obviously everything's heightened,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I've gone on like setups like blind dates,
Speaker 3: which are the worst, and you're like, what was my
Speaker 3: best friend thinking that I would get along with this
Speaker 3: person I have nothing in common with, And now I'm
Speaker 3: sitting across from this person for an entire meal and
Speaker 3: like trying to find some common ground to talk about.
Speaker 3: That's about as bad as Scott for me.
Speaker 1: I have. So there's a friend of mine and love
Speaker 1: her to death. Name is Margo Bingham. Margo, if you're listening,
Speaker 1: I love you. However, recently in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Never good to say however, well, I love you.
Speaker 1: However she goes. She goes, the more I'm going to
Speaker 1: set you up with someone, I'm going to set you
Speaker 1: up on a date, and she goes, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you anything about this woman. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you her name, what I tell you her race,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you what you know, just
Speaker 1: pol job nothing.
Speaker 2: And I was like, tom Petty free falling.
Speaker 1: I am I still did it? Not yet? Because she
Speaker 1: keeps she's like, once you get back to La. She
Speaker 1: lives in La. She's like, once you get back to La,
Speaker 1: I'm going to set it up. So let me know.
Speaker 1: And I have been hesitant to let Margo know that
Speaker 1: I'm that I'm back in La, because.
Speaker 3: That's a hard note, don't hard, No, But also in
Speaker 3: my head, I'm like, maybe it's a famous person and
Speaker 3: you maybe.
Speaker 2: It's finally going to happen for you, Lamore, and you've
Speaker 2: been putting it out there. Zoe Kravitz was, maybe it's
Speaker 2: finally gonna happen, you know.
Speaker 3: No. I was at a friend's Halloween party this past
Speaker 3: Halloween and she walked past me as Rosemary from Rosemary's Baby.
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to say Rosa Parks.
Speaker 3: And she was with Channing Tatum, who was a giant baby.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny, and it wasn't you
Speaker 2: have no chance they're funny.
Speaker 1: It was two.
Speaker 3: It was two people walking past me at a very
Speaker 3: crowded party, and I thought, oh, there's two old friends
Speaker 3: that I haven't seen in a long time because I
Speaker 3: recognized them, but not enough to put it put them
Speaker 3: in context. And so I didn't say anything because I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm going to fuck up somebody's name. And
Speaker 3: later someone was like, I think the best costume was
Speaker 3: Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum, and I.
Speaker 1: Go, that's who. That wasn't at all at all.
Speaker 2: I We'll say, Okay, so my date. The way I
Speaker 2: could relate to this episode is that, so my whole
Speaker 2: thing is like I've never been on a date, Like
Speaker 2: no one's ever asked me out on a date, and
Speaker 2: we've gone out on a date and like dated date
Speaker 2: until we've been together. Well, here's the thing, Steve, okay,
Speaker 2: is that when I started New Girl, I remember the
Speaker 2: guys on the show. So we would come up to
Speaker 2: me like I met so and so they said they
Speaker 2: used to date them. I was like, I've never I've
Speaker 2: never been on a date. Like I've never been on
Speaker 2: a date. And then it started to happen more and more,
Speaker 2: and it would be people that I'd be just like, oh,
Speaker 2: like you and I are like we're friends, and they
Speaker 2: would go for coffee.
Speaker 1: They're well, get a coffee.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, sure, we go get a coffee and
Speaker 2: I go home. But on their mind, just like the show,
Speaker 2: Just like the show, they were like, well, and so
Speaker 2: there's all these people walking around in these streets being
Speaker 2: like I dated Hannah and I was never on a date,
Speaker 2: never knew about a date, never understood this whole thing
Speaker 2: was a date. So I've now had many friends and
Speaker 2: be like, Hannah, you've dated it a lot of people,
Speaker 2: like a lot of people haven't dated you, but they didn't,
Speaker 2: you know, like the word date was never used. It
Speaker 2: was just like, hey, hey, they're feeling a vibe, right
Speaker 2: and they're saying like, hey, let's go get coffee. You
Speaker 2: free on Friday, And I'm like sure, and we would
Speaker 2: go get a coffee and then I'd be like whatever,
Speaker 2: like you know, they're just kind of like fade out
Speaker 2: and then or I guess I would fade out because
Speaker 2: I was just like, well, you know, they're not like
Speaker 2: my best friend now, like whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then when I got on this show and the
Speaker 2: show hit big so many people, that was like their
Speaker 2: claimer link into the show, like oh I love new girl.
Speaker 2: You know I used to date here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like when Moby said he went out with
Speaker 3: Natalie Portman. Do you remember that? No, Like a year,
Speaker 3: like about two years ago, two or three years ago,
Speaker 3: there was a thing on the news where Moby had just,
Speaker 3: you know, as an aside, was like, oh, yeah, I
Speaker 3: went out with Natalie Portman a date or something like that,
Speaker 3: and they asked her and she's like what, yeah, no.
Speaker 2: Never, it never happened.
Speaker 1: Never, It never happened that happened to me once. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to name any names, but there was there
Speaker 1: was someone that I had been friendly with, sure, romantic friendly. Never.
Speaker 1: My girlfriend never dated. But when I tell this story
Speaker 1: about her, I just say it like, oh this girl,
Speaker 1: I dated this, this, this, and this. We never actually
Speaker 1: dated and it and it didn't dawn on me until
Speaker 1: the story came back to me. Oh sure, but she
Speaker 1: was like, we never dated, and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: you told people we dated.
Speaker 4: I was like, you're like, I was just saying, so
Speaker 4: we went out and did some I didn't want to
Speaker 4: I didn't want to be I don't want to be
Speaker 4: specific like oh we did this, this, this that I
Speaker 4: just said dated to throw it out and I was like,
Speaker 4: but no, I know we didn't date, so that that
Speaker 4: happens and it's and I've done that on accident.
Speaker 2: To say the words, I just was super clueless, like
Speaker 2: because in my human experience of my life, no one
Speaker 2: has ever come up and benleg I think you're cool,
Speaker 2: I would love to take you out on a date,
Speaker 2: and me being like, yes, I also feel the same way.
Speaker 2: I would love to see you at that restaurant to
Speaker 2: eat food in this date situation. So when I watched
Speaker 2: this episode, I could so deeply feel what the Jazz
Speaker 2: character was going through where you're kind of like clocking
Speaker 2: like is this wait a minute, hold up? Why are
Speaker 2: you in a suit? Why would we drinking to pain?
Speaker 3: I feel like it's not a date unless there's awkwardness
Speaker 3: at the very end when you're getting dropped off, like
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, maybe this is a date. What am I
Speaker 3: supposed to do? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's I had that moment happen once for someone to
Speaker 2: drop me off after I thought we just went to
Speaker 2: get dinner as friends, and then they kind of leaned
Speaker 2: over that middle part of the car and I was
Speaker 2: just like, I was like emon them. The supermodel was
Speaker 2: like my neck along. Excuse me?
Speaker 1: Was this that Kanye and a dated? Kanye?
Speaker 2: The rumors that Lamurn likes to start to make my
Speaker 2: life seem more interesting because I have a very uninteresting
Speaker 2: life is kind of fun.
Speaker 1: You did it, Kanye? This is this is pre Rose Royce. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only thing about your private life I know is
Speaker 3: you walk around with cats on leashes.
Speaker 2: That's sure wit you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is some of the most.
Speaker 3: Like camping stuff with a cat on a leash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't want to like let them loose
Speaker 2: in the woods.
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean, if you're taking a cat, you
Speaker 3: have to have it on a leash. That's not something
Speaker 3: you see every day.
Speaker 1: You definitely don't.
Speaker 2: I took them on a big camping trip to see
Speaker 2: the world because they were both very very very old
Speaker 2: and getting a little sick, and I realized, like, man,
Speaker 2: they need to like they've never heard the ocean or
Speaker 2: like been to a mountain, and so I rented an
Speaker 2: RV and like took them on like this this big
Speaker 2: like bucket list.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: One of them is blind and like deaf, and so
Speaker 2: I took him the ocean and just hold them and
Speaker 2: he felt the sand and the ocean.
Speaker 3: You need a movie about that.
Speaker 1: What I'm doing, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Go on dates like, go on romance, take life ending
Speaker 2: trips with cats.
Speaker 1: This has been years, years of this bullshit.
Speaker 2: Bastel type to make the world go round.
Speaker 1: Nobody Hannah would come with my feelings, you know, Hannah
Speaker 1: would Hannah would come to work and be like crazy.
Speaker 1: First of all, she'd ask you how your night was,
Speaker 1: just so she could get to her story. Sure, but
Speaker 1: what did you do last night? How it works?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: First of all? Then I would have to selectively listen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would do a lot.
Speaker 2: We give all the details, very very detailed. I didn't
Speaker 2: need I didn't need it.
Speaker 1: And then she would go and she would go mourn
Speaker 1: who when I tell you? When I tell you? And
Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, tell me tell me. She would like,
Speaker 1: I hope you're sitting down. We're in hair makeup. I'm
Speaker 1: clearly sitting down, and then she would go Last night,
Speaker 1: me and my man we did a buzzer and we
Speaker 1: finished about a bottle and a half of red wine.
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, yeah, then what it's like and
Speaker 1: we fellow sleep. Wait.
Speaker 3: I listened to an episode of This Isn't it white Wine?
Speaker 3: Because like, who drinks white wine? That's like a daytime summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she would brag about this and I'd go, Hannah,
Speaker 1: I just told you how I was. I'm not eve
Speaker 1: gonna get into it, but I'm like, your story not interesting.
Speaker 2: That's true. But I always say, like, the dynamic of
Speaker 2: our friendship is like Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce willis
Speaker 2: an unbreakable Oh that's good, Like we we both thank you,
Speaker 2: Like I understand it, the ying and the yang. We
Speaker 2: both have to exist for the world to be right.
Speaker 2: We have nothing in common except for our existential need
Speaker 2: for the other one to exist. We were forever bond.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: So we're at the end of this episode. We're at
Speaker 1: the end of this episode. Nick and Jess. They have
Speaker 1: a lovely I think, multiple attempts at having dinner. One
Speaker 1: thing that was interesting was that Russell's already sitting down
Speaker 1: at the table. They decided they want to come back.
Speaker 1: Then they literally made them move, which doesn't make it.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. But then they end up back at
Speaker 1: the loft and they have a moment where she's trying
Speaker 1: to open It's a very very you know, tense scene.
Speaker 1: That one made me go.
Speaker 2: And the beer gargle mm hmm, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this is they don't do it.
Speaker 2: It is a thing I remember talking to a girlfriend once,
Speaker 2: but like weird things that that someone does that you
Speaker 2: don't know why, but just like makes you feel weird
Speaker 2: and you can't help O did you feel really weird
Speaker 2: about it? And so again when I watched like this episode,
Speaker 2: I was like, I can understand that people have You're
Speaker 2: not in control of that. You don't get to choose
Speaker 2: those things that if someone does like that made you
Speaker 2: feel weird.
Speaker 1: I'm like very specific about mine. I'm like, I like
Speaker 1: the way she's naked.
Speaker 2: And I'm talking about non se non sexual little things
Speaker 2: that just are you like surprising and you're just like, Oh.
Speaker 3: The cool thing about this show is there's not like
Speaker 3: at this point, there's not a will they won't they
Speaker 3: there's a when will they come? It's not like The Office,
Speaker 3: where it's like that show could have made a run
Speaker 3: and they never got together. Yeah, this, you know it's
Speaker 3: going to happen, and so you're just like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm going to enjoy it when it happens.
Speaker 1: It happens.
Speaker 2: That's what I love about I mean, I really loved
Speaker 2: it in season one. I remember talking to Liz about
Speaker 2: it when they did it with Cec and Schmidt, which
Speaker 2: was like they slept together like almost instantly, and it
Speaker 2: was just what it was. But it was the emotional
Speaker 2: and intimacy that was so hard for them and scary
Speaker 2: for them, and they fought it so deeply, and Liz
Speaker 2: was like, well, that's because that's most people's experience, like
Speaker 2: as people are hooking up, and that's fine and doesn't
Speaker 2: feel complicated to them, but the emotional vulnerability and intimacy
Speaker 2: is hard. And the fact, again, I think it's the
Speaker 2: fact that she wrote how real dating life was happening,
Speaker 2: especially in that time period, and people just got it.
Speaker 2: And the fact that you just let Jess and Nick
Speaker 2: get messy and weird and dip in and dip out
Speaker 2: and get mad at each other about it and mad
Speaker 2: at themselves about it, and their roommates are now getting
Speaker 2: involved and frustrated with it. That it was the truth
Speaker 2: in that I think that is like the heartbeat of
Speaker 2: the show, and she kept telling the truth of how
Speaker 2: these real relationships worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wanted to also just say, because I know we're
Speaker 2: wrapping this up. But one of the things that I
Speaker 2: didn't and I was like, is this improvised too? That
Speaker 2: you said as outside Dave is when you hear him
Speaker 2: shaving and then you just hear him go, oh, there's
Speaker 2: bucks in there.
Speaker 3: I don't think that was I don't think that was improvised.
Speaker 1: Probably it made me laugh.
Speaker 2: So hard, like the delighted realization that there's bugs in
Speaker 2: the pubes.
Speaker 3: Maybe by the way, I remember ideas being floated around
Speaker 3: as the show was coming towards the last season. Someone
Speaker 3: floated around an idea that it turns out at the
Speaker 3: very end that Outside Dave actually owned the building, which
Speaker 3: I was like, that would be amazing.
Speaker 1: Which is so funny that when I was nineteen, I
Speaker 1: went to meet and some friends. We took a trip
Speaker 1: to California for the first time, and I remember being
Speaker 1: we were in San Diego, and I remember after a
Speaker 1: night out, one of the people we were with, we're
Speaker 1: going to get a tattoo, and there was this kind
Speaker 1: of like strip mall right by the beach. There's a
Speaker 1: tattoo par there. There's like some bars, some restaurants or whatever,
Speaker 1: and there's this homeless guy that's just hanging out outside,
Speaker 1: right hanging outside. Now we've been drinking and so we
Speaker 1: all sit down. We're like like right by the beach,
Speaker 1: on boardwalk, beach whatever, and we're sitting down, we're talking
Speaker 1: to this guy and now we've assumed he's homeless. Well,
Speaker 1: we didn't realize. We realized later on after he told
Speaker 1: us that he owned that whole strip mall that holes. Well,
Speaker 1: we were just like casual beach bums are a real thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's the truth.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what's so wonderful about LA is
Speaker 2: that you never know. In La, people with money don't
Speaker 2: dress like they have any money. Oh no, it's like
Speaker 2: so you kads is like pick it out. You can't
Speaker 2: profile it, you can't figure it out.
Speaker 1: That's about who owns a ferrari and he and he
Speaker 1: intentionally keeps it one dirty and two always wears like
Speaker 1: holes in his sweatpants, like holes in his shirt. They're
Speaker 1: not like stylish holes like how Justin Bieber might do it.
Speaker 1: He has like he's genuinely like doesn't care with what
Speaker 1: he's about what he's wearing. And he has a lot
Speaker 1: of money and he loves his car, but he intentionally
Speaker 1: keeps it filthy. It's like the outside looks like shit,
Speaker 1: and he's like, who cares for him? So the tag
Speaker 1: of this is really funny. Back to Ron funchs.
Speaker 2: Ron, they I mean, you can tell how much they
Speaker 2: must have loved it, because when that did a lot
Speaker 2: done in this episode, you can tell there was a
Speaker 2: lot of story that to tell a lot of exposition flashbacks.
Speaker 2: I'm like, why it's weird between yeah, all this stuff
Speaker 2: and they let him go like in the episode, yes
Speaker 2: for such a and usually those pops are fast, you know,
Speaker 2: as you know, and then and then the whole tag
Speaker 2: of him singing Yota Go se Michli's song Father Figure
Speaker 2: h and then the Missus Doubtfire song.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one of the funniest things.
Speaker 2: Caught me off guard. I remember the first time I
Speaker 2: watched that episode. I do remember the first time only
Speaker 2: time besides last night was I never knew that was shot.
Speaker 2: I wasn't there, Yeah, and I don't think it was
Speaker 2: written like that or that funny like at the table read,
Speaker 2: so it didn't stick in my head. And I remember crying,
Speaker 2: just crying because he was so funny.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go to break and when we come back, Hannah,
Speaker 1: myself and Steve, we're all going to mess around a
Speaker 1: little bit. It is sexual thing, Steve.
Speaker 2: Now it's definitely not.
Speaker 1: And we are back, babe. So I asked this question earlier.
Speaker 1: Do you have any first dates that competes with the
Speaker 1: one Nick and Jess went on.
Speaker 2: You got to ask all these people that said they
Speaker 2: dated me because I was not there on those days.
Speaker 2: I was out there in a date capacity. You went
Speaker 2: on a date with me and said you went on
Speaker 2: a date with me. Share your story.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 2: I was fully unaware.
Speaker 1: I've gone on a bunch of first dates. YEA, like
Speaker 1: a bunch, most obviously most of which didn't go anywhere
Speaker 1: because I'm single right now. But the ones that ended
Speaker 1: up in in like longer relationships, weren't a traditional first date.
Speaker 1: I dated someone for three years our first date was
Speaker 1: she she was like, hey, I'm at the driving range
Speaker 1: if you want to meet me there. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: I didn't ask her out, she was. I was like,
Speaker 1: we should hang out one day. She's like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: at the driving range right now if you want to join,
Speaker 1: And I was like okay, and I met up at
Speaker 1: the driving range.
Speaker 2: But here, this is the thing, though, is this now
Speaker 2: just like an old fashioned idea of like asking someone
Speaker 2: out on a date. And maybe that's why I didn't
Speaker 2: realize I was on dates because I was expecting like
Speaker 2: a formal invite with the title to what our arrangement
Speaker 2: was going to be. And then maybe just people don't
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of we should hang out sometime.
Speaker 3: That's like a really gray area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because also people are afraid of rejection, so you
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to be too formal
Speaker 1: and put pressure on that person.
Speaker 2: But I can get them hang out with me. Then
Speaker 2: they realize that, which is basically this whole episode. But
Speaker 2: then it becomes so confusing. We should talk. We didn't
Speaker 2: talk about this in the recap, and I and now
Speaker 2: I'm mad about it, because what do you think was
Speaker 2: on the valet cards, like what did they write?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, we never find out, we never?
Speaker 1: We find out later? Yeah later, yeah, out much later?
Speaker 3: Are we allowed to say? Now? Are you going to
Speaker 3: hold it till that? No? What you guys can tell
Speaker 3: me after?
Speaker 2: I just thought it was such a awesome moment because
Speaker 2: then you see Russell basically do them a solid. He's
Speaker 2: just like, oh, wow, you guys. Yeah, no, I'm running
Speaker 2: off with this thing like I'm not. I can't. It's
Speaker 2: too it's too hard.
Speaker 3: But in my head, it's like each one of them
Speaker 3: wrote something completely nonsense sensical, like Jake wrote apples, she
Speaker 3: wrote uppies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something, she's writing forever, right, she keeps writing and
Speaker 2: keeps writing. And I think he wrote like I love
Speaker 2: her and that's what my brain said. And then she's
Speaker 2: just going like, well, I don't know, and I don't
Speaker 2: want to fall apart. Like it's like that whole like
Speaker 2: inner monologue was going because it was so no spoilers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. There's no spoil I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's what it is. I don't remember what happened.
Speaker 2: Do you do remember? I don't. Yeah, that's why I'm
Speaker 2: good for this rewatch podcast. I'm watching it as we go,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: So one of the questions was how many how many
Speaker 1: takes of Ron Funches singing do they have? I think
Speaker 1: they have a million? Was it different songs? I mean
Speaker 1: you were there, No, there was. I think there's like
Speaker 1: two or three songs. I think maybe I think maybe
Speaker 1: three songs. That's clear that yeah, and he I mean
Speaker 1: I read the note earlier. You know how he was
Speaker 1: discovering because I think some of the first takes weren't
Speaker 1: as aggressive, and then as time went on he got
Speaker 1: really into it. And part of this question is did
Speaker 1: I break? Did I break? I think I only had
Speaker 1: one straight take, and you know it was you're literally
Speaker 1: in tears.
Speaker 2: There's no way I'd be able to hold it together
Speaker 2: and be a mess because it's solid too. They don't
Speaker 2: like they're not editing like it's one take. They play
Speaker 2: it all the way through.
Speaker 1: Fun fact, when I when I when I was there,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of background in in like a
Speaker 1: holding area, and he had a cast chair, but he
Speaker 1: was hanging out in the background area. Holy Aaron, it
Speaker 1: was outside in like a tent or something like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not joking. I genuinely thought, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that man. I think that that almless man
Speaker 1: is lost. I was like, and I didn't say anything
Speaker 1: that any body, but I was like that that man,
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I was like, get the a d And I was.
Speaker 1: Like, why is he just kind of lurking around? And
Speaker 1: then because a lot of times you check out of
Speaker 1: the scene, like I knew what I was about to shoot,
Speaker 1: but then I was like, oh, that's the dude. It
Speaker 1: was just too real because he wasn't hanging out by
Speaker 1: his share you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like one of the first acting gigs for Run.
Speaker 3: He's a very funny stand up. Yeah, this has to
Speaker 3: have been one of its first.
Speaker 1: Like, I think it. I think the way he described it,
Speaker 1: I think it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the nerves around it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, last question in this mess around, Steve, what was
Speaker 2: your favorite outside Dave moment that you remember.
Speaker 3: The whole show or this episode the whole show.
Speaker 1: Unless you want to come back?
Speaker 2: Yeah, please come back.
Speaker 3: I mean they were all fun. The most fun was
Speaker 3: when I would have multiple days with you guys. There's
Speaker 3: another episode with where Zoe's dating I don't remember the
Speaker 3: character's name Julian Julian Morris, and Max is dating Zoe
Speaker 3: Lister Jones, and there's it's something to do with a
Speaker 3: noise like construction outside of the loft. And there had
Speaker 3: to be like a town hall meeting. And you say
Speaker 3: something to Schmidt just before he's about to go up
Speaker 3: and speak about his suit not fitting right, and he
Speaker 3: can't get through his speech because he's like now tugging
Speaker 3: because he thinks he looks terrible. And for some reason
Speaker 3: outside Dave is in the town hall meeting. I'm sitting there.
Speaker 3: And we shot it at the Masonic Temple on Islandland
Speaker 3: Highland and like right near the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Franklin and.
Speaker 3: Hyland and Franklin and and Schmid has a breakdown. He's like,
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 1: Talk, my suit doesn't sit anyway.
Speaker 3: And I say something and I think I improvised this.
Speaker 3: I said, if you want, I'll give you my tailor's number.
Speaker 3: It's seven. That was the same episode where you guys
Speaker 3: are doing like a phone bank in the wow. I
Speaker 3: don't know. Anytime I have to hang out for like
Speaker 3: long periods of.
Speaker 1: Time, dude, anytime you're on set. We loved it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was always so great. That was always such
Speaker 2: a fun thing because it was a pretty intense show
Speaker 2: to shoot in terms of like the hours, and it
Speaker 2: was kind of constant, lots of rewrites, that's of alt.
Speaker 2: But it was always fun to sit there and look
Speaker 2: at like the call sheet in the morning and get
Speaker 2: to see who was coming. And we knew you, we
Speaker 2: knew it was going to be a great damn we
Speaker 2: were all going to get to laugh.
Speaker 3: Did you guys have a long drive like Fox Lot is? Like, no,
Speaker 3: not really central to a lot of stuff. What part
Speaker 3: of town where you coming from at that time, like
Speaker 3: Beechwood Canyon. It wasn't too bad.
Speaker 2: It was Fox was like a bit of a drive.
Speaker 2: But I remember two things. One, I lived in West Hollywood,
Speaker 2: like near the Grove. But our call times were so early,
Speaker 2: and most of us, if you were working that day,
Speaker 2: you were there all day. Oh yeah, because they would
Speaker 2: go faster on certain things and slower, so you wouldn't
Speaker 2: kind of get like, you know, your call times eleven
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning because you just have one scene
Speaker 2: for us, it'd be like everybody's here at four thirty am.
Speaker 2: We're going all day. We'll figure out when we're going
Speaker 2: to do your thing, we might want to put you
Speaker 2: in something it had. So that's why it was like
Speaker 2: a little more of an intense show to shoot, I
Speaker 2: feel it. So it took me like nine minutes because.
Speaker 3: I was going going forward to you guys got established.
Speaker 3: It was great because you used to have to go
Speaker 3: downtown LA to do the exteriors.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, and then we just rebuilt those on
Speaker 1: the stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, they rebuilt those. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had to go to set a lot earlier than people, well,
Speaker 1: not really set for about a season and a half.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I forget at least one full season.
Speaker 1: I was driving to a barber shop in the morning
Speaker 1: to get my hair cut then go to set. Wow,
Speaker 1: because they didn't.
Speaker 2: Have a barber Yeah. That changed, that did change.
Speaker 1: That changed quickly. I was like, man, I'm waking up
Speaker 1: at three am, three thirty to get to the barber
Speaker 1: shop at you know, four thirty, you know, five in
Speaker 1: the morning to be on set by six thirty. And
Speaker 1: I was like, this is crazy because they weren't counting
Speaker 1: that as mich As turnaround time. That's not you know,
Speaker 1: so I was like, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of growth in the industry around
Speaker 2: certain things that we I think also is are all
Speaker 2: of our first times like on a big show, yeah,
Speaker 2: or a lot of us for a lot of us,
Speaker 2: and I think that we didn't know certain things you
Speaker 2: could just like ask for, but they weren't industry standing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to it's not supposed to be happening right now. Yeah, wrong,
Speaker 1: like fuck me, yeah yeah, all right, folks, We're going
Speaker 1: to go to break, We're going to sell some ship.
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we are back. We're at the end
Speaker 1: of our episode.

Speaker 1: That's so great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way you got you went to a
Speaker 3: break and you started talking to me, and I didn't
Speaker 3: know we were back earlier. I just kind of figured
Speaker 3: it out. Yeah, I didn't need I was like, oh, we're.
