Speaker 1: We're here to talk about one of the greatest episodes.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I don't remember this episode whatsoever. We
Speaker 1: are talking about three twelve basketballs, baskets, ball, baskets, balls.
Speaker 2: Baskets balls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, balls and also by the Female Dream Team, directed
Speaker 1: by Lorraine Scafaria, Oh my god, and written by my
Speaker 1: dear friend Rebecca Adaman. Yeah, but I forgot all about
Speaker 1: this episode was so when I rewatched it, it was
Speaker 1: truly like the first time ever hearing the story. I
Speaker 1: don't remember it.
Speaker 2: What's crazy. I remember, I think the ending of this episode.
Speaker 2: I remember, like towards the ending, there was the moment
Speaker 2: at the bar. I remember that moment, but all the
Speaker 2: other antics and things like that. I don't remember filming it,
Speaker 2: but I do remember the Jersey swap situation from seeing
Speaker 2: it before when it had aired. I do remember that
Speaker 2: back and forth with the Bulls Jersey and the Pistons Jersey. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's crazy is I found the table draft and it's
Speaker 1: almost completely different. And so sometimes I feel like with
Speaker 1: those those episodes that got like a full rewrite, those
Speaker 1: are the harder ones to remember, right, because so much
Speaker 1: was kind of like done on the flyer in the
Speaker 1: moment and adjusted as they were figuring it out, and
Speaker 1: you were kind of like almost so present that you're
Speaker 1: not like kicked back and being like, oh I remember this,
Speaker 1: or let's store this in the memory bank. You're just
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, falling forward a little bit
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, all right, all right, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's break it down first before we dive in.
Speaker 2: Okay, So, in this episode, just decides the fake being
Speaker 2: a Detroit Piston's basketball fan in order to become friends
Speaker 2: with Coach. Here's the problem. Her boyfriend Nick is a
Speaker 2: massive Bulls fan, which causes them to get into a
Speaker 2: good old fashioned sex standoff. We've all been there. I'm
Speaker 2: constantly having to tell these women not today. Meanwhile, Winston
Speaker 2: shadows Schmidt at work, thinking that marketing and advertising might
Speaker 2: be for him. As he helped Schmid navigate getting past
Speaker 2: the backstabbing employee, Winston comes to the realization, with CEC's help,
Speaker 2: that maybe he's wanted to be a cop all along.
Speaker 1: That was the part that really surprised me. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is where it came from. Yeah, this is where
Speaker 1: it came from the whole like cop trajectory. Winston comes
Speaker 1: from this episode, no idea. I just thought in class
Speaker 1: the New Girls style one day, you just walked in
Speaker 1: with a cop out I'm a cop.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that they actually set the groundwork and
Speaker 1: did it properly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so right before this episode. Uh now you said
Speaker 2: you saw the table draft, not on thousand percent sure
Speaker 2: if it was in there or if this happened right
Speaker 2: before the table read or write after it. But I did.
Speaker 2: But I was already in their ear about about job
Speaker 2: possibilities for and and before. It might have been right
Speaker 2: before the season when I had to sit down chitchat
Speaker 2: with the whole squad the writer's room about potentially becoming
Speaker 2: a cop and trying to figure out what's the the
Speaker 2: best way to transition into that profession. And yeah, they
Speaker 2: made it work in this one. So it was fun
Speaker 2: to see it actually come to light. You know, you
Speaker 2: can talk about a lot of different ideas. I said this,
Speaker 2: I said on the show multiple times, I need Zoe
Speaker 2: Gravits to put my girlfriend. Never happened.
Speaker 1: It never happened.
Speaker 2: Never happened Zoe.
Speaker 1: You weren't specific. You just I want Zoe to be
Speaker 1: in the show near me? Right, done?
Speaker 2: Got it? We got you bro check different Zoe, And
Speaker 2: so with the cop thing, I was like, oh, they
Speaker 2: actually they made it happen.
Speaker 1: Well done, here's my here's my what my theory was
Speaker 1: on it where my brain went immediately, which is you
Speaker 1: were like, here I am on this comedy and it's
Speaker 1: Winston so he's doing the most with the cats and
Speaker 1: the puzzles. And you were like, but I know at
Speaker 1: some point this show is going to end. I need
Speaker 1: to show myself in a different light. And you love
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy and was like, I'm like, is this you
Speaker 1: trying to set up for like Axel Holly, You being like,
Speaker 1: this is my Beverly Hills cop. Let me run around
Speaker 1: in the cop uniform and show you that you can
Speaker 1: put me in like the new version of Beverly Hills Cop.
Speaker 1: Right after this, I can submit the tape, I can
Speaker 1: cut the reel. I got it. I just needed to
Speaker 1: get it on this somehow, you would.
Speaker 2: Think so, well, internally, internally we always have a plan
Speaker 2: for those things, but it didn't happen. In fact, the
Speaker 2: new Beverly Hills Cop I auditioned to be in and
Speaker 2: they said then nay, no, they said no, they said no,
Speaker 2: to you. They don't. They don't want me to work
Speaker 2: with Eddie Murphy. I feel that's what I realized. Then
Speaker 2: the Internet would break, the world would the world would
Speaker 2: collapse on itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: It'd be the most it'd be the funniest movie.
Speaker 1: Of all time. It's also the most obvious thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so obvious.
Speaker 2: Like he plays my twin brother. Yeah, me and Eddie
Speaker 2: played twin brothers.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is going to be one of
Speaker 1: those recap episodes, Sorry, everybody that's listening, where we're just
Speaker 1: like mad about a lot of really small things that
Speaker 1: are just kind of like tangentially associated with this as
Speaker 1: we're like, this is one of the best episodes of
Speaker 1: all times. Let's not talk about it. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Eddie Joel.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Eddi's wearing diapers right now?
Speaker 1: Full circle this moment. All right, Okay, let's dive in.
Speaker 1: So Winston asks Schmidt if he thinks he'd be good
Speaker 1: at advertising. She talks down on advertising and let him
Speaker 1: know he does marketing, and he says, basically, you can
Speaker 1: be like my take my kid to work day from
Speaker 1: the job shadow of me, so you can figure it out.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Jess is facing a little bit of like
Speaker 1: that weird blurred line situation that people get into, which
Speaker 1: is you're hanging out with your boyfriend's friends and you
Speaker 1: really like them and you see them as a friend,
Speaker 1: and they don't. They just see you as their buddies. Girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's doing too much, and she wants.
Speaker 1: The friendship like a legit separate friendship that is just
Speaker 1: their own where they have their own connection.
Speaker 2: I don't do you think that's okay? Though? I mean, like,
Speaker 2: I know when it happens organically, it happens organically. But
Speaker 2: do you think that's okay? If you're like, oh, like
Speaker 2: you don't know what me and Ernie did yesterday, you
Speaker 2: won't know. That's that's between us. And you say that
Speaker 2: to your boyfriend, I'd be like, what the fuck are
Speaker 2: you talking about? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Very well, it's very unique, right because they live together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's your roommate, and so you want to be
Speaker 1: able to just like if you're hang out Guess in
Speaker 1: the morning and you're having your coffee and you want
Speaker 1: to be able to just like chat and be seen
Speaker 1: as like your own self as a human versus like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's his nixt girlfriend sitting at the counter that I
Speaker 1: live with. So in this situation, I think it's unique.
Speaker 1: I think in normal life it is a bit strange
Speaker 1: to go to this lengths to have your boyfriend's friend
Speaker 1: be like, let's go to the bar together and watch basketball.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what you why?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, if I fight it, it's not for me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's a bit too much.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 1: But I will say Nick is very supportive of the quest.
Speaker 2: Strangely, I mean, that's all right, that's all right. You
Speaker 2: know who wouldn't be supportive of that, Jake Johnson. Nick
Speaker 2: is sure, but Jake not so much. Not so much.
Speaker 1: I think you'd just be more like, you're on your
Speaker 1: own if you want to do that. I'm not getting involved,
Speaker 1: Like knock yourself out.
Speaker 2: That's you imagine waking up late at night, she's like
Speaker 2: textings about it. Who you texted? I'm trying to see
Speaker 2: if he's awake.
Speaker 1: I will say, the list of the things of the
Speaker 1: Boo Boo but Vagina thing had me the floor first.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know you could say. I didn't know
Speaker 1: you could just like list the five body parts on
Speaker 1: a network show. That's what I was like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: is already an iconic episode, just that describable women. The
Speaker 1: five Things I Like about you is wild in the
Speaker 1: order of it wild.
Speaker 2: I like the line where Winston talks about his the
Speaker 2: onesie when she's says that's how she went. She wins
Speaker 2: people over food, you know, clothes, pajamas.
Speaker 1: I like the butt flap, But can we just talk
Speaker 1: about that for one second. I have thought a lot
Speaker 1: about that, because like I've bound buffalot my life and
Speaker 1: be like, but who what, how?
Speaker 2: No, the multiple reasons why won would have a butt flap, Hannah,
Speaker 2: I'll let you do the math on that.
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, even practically, I don't quite under like,
Speaker 1: there's just too much clothing still near the toilet. It's
Speaker 1: gross to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you think it's getting soaked up or.
Speaker 1: Something like the legs of it, like all of it
Speaker 1: just feels like, just take it off. You chose a
Speaker 1: romper that means you go naked to the bathroom, Like,
Speaker 1: just take it out, all of it.
Speaker 2: I'm just not into Yeah, I can. I can tell
Speaker 2: you that this Pistons Bulls fan rivalry. It was a
Speaker 2: rivalry back in the day. It's it's not a rivalry now,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't a rivalry when this episode was filmed.
Speaker 2: But I gotta.
Speaker 1: Pull this up because I'm pretty sure I scream grabbed
Speaker 1: it from the when I was watching that this. It
Speaker 1: wasn't actually the Pistons. Bump bump bum. It wasn't the Pistons.
Speaker 1: I don't think. Oh I lied. See this is what
Speaker 1: happens when I read It's the best. I think it
Speaker 1: was the Pistons. There's they, but they talk about the Bruins.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Then they realized that, Nah, it's basketball.
Speaker 1: Never mind. I thought I had like this big thing
Speaker 1: to share about that that wasn't the Pistons, but it
Speaker 1: was the Pistons. It was the Pistons, but it was
Speaker 1: a joke that just didn't make it about the Ruins.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's not a real rivalry. It's not it's
Speaker 2: the Bulls back then didn't have a real rivalry. In
Speaker 2: the eighties. It was Bulls Pistons, for sure, and the
Speaker 2: Bulls got the short end of the stake most of
Speaker 2: the time until Michael Jordan came into his own and
Speaker 2: then the rest is history. He rose to the ranks
Speaker 2: to become the second greatest player of all time behind
Speaker 2: bron James.
Speaker 1: That's officially from the Bourne Wars basketball lists.
Speaker 2: It's official. It's official. Yeah, now let's see.
Speaker 1: Oh, this funny storyline with Bob Gunton where so so
Speaker 1: shadow him is so funny.
Speaker 2: I think again, we gotta do a segment on this
Speaker 2: episode on this show where we highlight one moment that
Speaker 2: shouldn't be that funny, but it's really funny when when
Speaker 2: she introduced him and they show him in the background,
Speaker 2: they cut back to the to the group talking, then
Speaker 2: they cut back to him over I think it's over
Speaker 2: Schmid and you see him in the background trying to
Speaker 2: get off the couch. It can't It's like he's like
Speaker 2: to get off the couch. That was one of the
Speaker 2: funniest things I've ever seen. And I'm not sure if
Speaker 2: a lot of people caught that moment, but yeah, that
Speaker 2: was well done. Well done.
Speaker 1: It did. Some actors I feel like would come onto
Speaker 1: the set and they and that's why they would get hired.
Speaker 1: They were so incredible with so many legends, and they
Speaker 1: would do so many little things fully in character that
Speaker 1: made the show and the show's so funny, and it's
Speaker 1: tiny little things like that yeahysterical Gwen.
Speaker 2: Gwen was fired because she turned forty five, and so
Speaker 2: she filed her lawsuit against them. So ed tel Schmid,
Speaker 2: he's shadowing him today because his office is closest to
Speaker 2: the toilet. It's got to prostate the size of an avocata.
Speaker 2: Have an avocat. Now you know he would be a
Speaker 2: great spokesperson for depends great exactly. Uh now, yes, she
Speaker 2: barges in the coach's room. It stinks, obviously, Eddie tells
Speaker 2: her it stays stays closed off during basketball season. Plus
Speaker 2: he's dropped them alive. Was under the bed. We've all
Speaker 2: been there. And then, uh now, which is a real thing,
Speaker 2: by the way, because I I've been in relationships where
Speaker 2: one my girlfriend would have to know the schedule, the
Speaker 2: basketball schedule. I was, are you kidding me? You can
Speaker 2: ask any of my exes. They will tell you. And
Speaker 2: there are thousands.
Speaker 1: There's a game Friday at seven o'clock. So we obviously
Speaker 1: aren't going out and doing anything.
Speaker 2: Or we can we can watch the game. But just know,
Speaker 2: this isn't one of those things where it's like what
Speaker 2: are we doing today? Like, well, you know what we're
Speaker 2: doing today. We're gonna watch the game. You can do
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do once the game is over.
Speaker 2: You know, we're free to move about the cabin. I
Speaker 2: can meet you somewhere, you know, if you want to
Speaker 2: go out tonight, if you want to go to the game,
Speaker 2: let me know. But it's game time, so don't go.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: My friend she she wants to go to Korean barbecue today.
Speaker 1: Married.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting married, like you know, like none like
Speaker 2: not so.
Speaker 1: Dirty, baby, I'm so sorry, but.
Speaker 2: Lakers bulls baby. So yeah, that's a real thing.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Interesting, I did not know you were that committed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm committed. Well, once I had Once I had
Speaker 2: a kid, though, my commitment kind of shifted my daughter.
Speaker 2: Don't give a damn about what.
Speaker 1: No, this is the thing I always say, it's really
Speaker 1: important you have to have like a sister or a
Speaker 1: daughter in your life because of your only love as
Speaker 1: a man is your mama's love. Yeah, it's not a
Speaker 1: true representation, that's true of the expectations and the adjustments
Speaker 1: you need to make. You need a daughter to let
Speaker 1: you know how it is, or a sister. That's not
Speaker 1: what we're doing. And you're acting.
Speaker 2: Crazy exactly, And it's in that moment though, when when
Speaker 2: she does come in the room that she's now shooting
Speaker 2: her shot, she's asking coach if he wants to watch
Speaker 2: the game, which is very awkward and strange, and you
Speaker 2: know he allows it. Now the bar, Schmidt is telling
Speaker 2: Winston that this networking is a is a big part
Speaker 2: of the job. Says it's usually more sexy. But they
Speaker 2: got Ed the old couch potato with him today. Said
Speaker 2: he could split up bake the table. They are making
Speaker 2: this man's sound very old time old.
Speaker 1: He's not that old. He looks very young and handsome,
Speaker 1: and they're just like, let's make it seem like.
Speaker 2: He's ninety be born in eighteen ninety, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So now Winston, you know, he tells Cci that he
Speaker 2: thinks marketing is a bad lead for him. All right,
Speaker 2: Schmid tells that he wants to take Gwen's job. Micro
Speaker 2: Marketing is his golden idea. Now, this is the thing
Speaker 2: that Schmid has come up with. You see a lot
Speaker 2: of times at his job he's trying to figure out
Speaker 2: ways to advance and this could be that moment. He
Speaker 2: says it's micro marketing, and Ed tells him it's a
Speaker 2: great idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can recognize it. He can recognize Okay, this
Speaker 1: stuff going back to coaching Jess doing their butt bumps
Speaker 1: also wild. This is where it starts to blur a
Speaker 1: little about like appropriateness, because.
Speaker 2: What's happening is you guys are touching body parts and
Speaker 2: I'm not talking hands, You're talking reproductive ish body parts.
Speaker 1: What's also just like a cute thing to do to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this is my boyfriend's like friend, Yes,
Speaker 1: we live together, but like it's our secret handshake with
Speaker 1: their butts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because what if it was like the opposite, what
Speaker 2: if it was like crotch touch you know, you're just.
Speaker 1: Like so it was like Nick and Ceci being like
Speaker 1: butt bomps. I think Jess would be like, hold on, yeah, sure.
Speaker 2: You should know what her butt feels like with your butt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's no way, there's no way, no way.
Speaker 1: This does feel like a bit of a double standard situation.
Speaker 2: What would you do if you came home and your
Speaker 2: your girlfriend and your husband were just like their friends,
Speaker 2: like just like, you know, it's fine, it's normal, it's natural.
Speaker 2: They're just she's hanging out the house and before he
Speaker 2: like goes to do something, they do their handshake, but
Speaker 2: it's like they touch noses like this and then yeah,
Speaker 2: what you what would you do?
Speaker 1: Honest to God, very simple thought about this many times.
Speaker 1: Kill that bitch, which is the morgue. I have to say,
Speaker 1: you're about to have two incoming bodies, make so much
Speaker 1: five minutes dead. That's that's done. Now.
Speaker 2: It's funny what you said earlier about having a mother's love,
Speaker 2: like you need a sister or you need a because
Speaker 2: Nick Nick says that Michael Jordan is the first man
Speaker 2: who taught him that he can love uh man, and
Speaker 2: you know there's a whole you know. Nick can't get
Speaker 2: on board with Jess just switching teams depending on what
Speaker 2: friend she's talking to, because she's supposed to be a
Speaker 2: Bulls fan.
Speaker 1: That's right, Like, I know you love the balls, but
Speaker 1: he loves the pistons, and I'm trying to connect with
Speaker 1: him and be his friend. And once I can like
Speaker 1: we're friends and we've got like solidified and our friendship
Speaker 1: is like you know, it's golden, then I'll just I'll
Speaker 1: be a Bulls fan and like support your team, which
Speaker 1: is way more horrifying to him than her just being
Speaker 1: a full Pistons fan that you can just switch up
Speaker 1: your team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a psycho. And and that's when he lets
Speaker 2: her know the real, real, honest to god truth. He'll
Speaker 2: never be able to trust her. That's ever.
Speaker 1: You have to have to have some like team loyalty.
Speaker 2: So he forbids her and then he says, you can't
Speaker 2: forbid me from doing this.
Speaker 1: That also was wild, had to come up, but that
Speaker 1: is such like a you're in a new relationship with
Speaker 1: like one of your first relationships, like you've never had
Speaker 1: a real relationship. We're out of nowhere. You're just like,
Speaker 1: I forbid it, and you're like, whoa, okay, fourteen hundreds
Speaker 1: Peter forbid it.
Speaker 2: But he does what he has to do. Work well,
Speaker 2: it kind of did because he turned off the sex
Speaker 2: tap and she says that she needs her vitamin D.
Speaker 1: I couldn't with a joke had laid to I was like,
Speaker 1: after the but but you know, but this is when
Speaker 1: I need the vitamin D. I was like, what happened
Speaker 1: to broadcast standards?
Speaker 2: And we ended it. After this everything went streaming.
Speaker 1: They were just like that whole department was just gone.
Speaker 2: It felt like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, a very funny line because Jess says to Nick,
Speaker 1: don't challenge me to a sex standoff, because she can
Speaker 1: channel all her sexual energy into knitting. And that's how
Speaker 1: she came through high school. It is true in high school,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well. I was going to make a big generalization.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, probably more so for boys.
Speaker 1: But you know, boys, girls, what do you do with
Speaker 1: all that sexual energy.
Speaker 2: You you get out on on all the all the girls.
Speaker 1: You know you sleep some reason my brain you take
Speaker 1: it out on your toy story sheet man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh god, oh god, Annah, that is gross.
Speaker 1: It is gross. I thought you were gonna say it.
Speaker 1: That's why I thought.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about being being being fourteen and sleeping with
Speaker 2: all the all the seniors in high school.
Speaker 1: You sleep with nobody who are fourteen years old.
Speaker 2: That's true. I didn't. I didn't lose my virginity until
Speaker 2: much later in life.
Speaker 1: So last week when you text me about it, and
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it's like, it's it's great. Let's
Speaker 1: take a break when you come back.
Speaker 3: More new girl, more new girl, and we are back.
Speaker 1: So Jess and Coach are watching the game. Coach calls
Speaker 1: Jess his friend, his friend, she did it.
Speaker 2: She did.
Speaker 1: She did, She's like done, locked, I don't just a
Speaker 1: basketball thing. Amazing, And then this scene I can't Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: When Jake walks in with his Bulls uniform on, which
Speaker 2: was so funny, short shorts and everything, and he starts
Speaker 2: to squat the sexy dance, which was shockingly bad.
Speaker 1: So bad. Honestly, I know he was trying to make
Speaker 1: it funny and everything, but I was like, this is
Speaker 1: now tipping to like Family Guide territory, where I was like,
Speaker 1: this is so uncomfortably and all the tongue stuff, where
Speaker 1: then she's like, the only person you're turning on but
Speaker 1: genuinely doing a good job of doing is yourself. You're
Speaker 1: getting yourself in a mess.
Speaker 2: And he turns around because he clearly has a boner and.
Speaker 1: He has also a wild choice. No way that's in
Speaker 1: the script is sit there and be like, no, adjust
Speaker 1: your shorts as you walk out of the room.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh boy.
Speaker 1: I just want you to know the notes that we
Speaker 1: have on this episode, says Nick ends up just turning
Speaker 1: himself on and then has to waddle away, because that
Speaker 1: is how that is written as a description of the scene.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. When I was in high
Speaker 2: school there was whenever you would get asked to go
Speaker 2: up to the whiteboard and draw something on the chalkboard,
Speaker 2: I'd always decline. I'd be like, I can't do it today,
Speaker 2: not today, I can't do it today. Gabe over here,
Speaker 2: Gabe wearing this perfume. I can't handle myself and I
Speaker 2: gotta go. She wearing this perfume. I gotta I can't
Speaker 2: stand on yep. Yeah, a girl walked by. I can't
Speaker 2: get up. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: That's how it was. One of my best guy friends
Speaker 1: was explaining this to me like ten years ago, about
Speaker 1: how high school was so torturous because for genuinely no reason,
Speaker 1: just the way you stand up. It could just be
Speaker 1: like hello. And he was saying that he honestly feels
Speaker 1: like that binders were invented by men, like a shield
Speaker 1: just as you walked down the hall to the next class.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you had to have the binder, and that
Speaker 1: they were like all boys carried them in the front
Speaker 1: of their bodies.
Speaker 2: But that's why they wore those those big ass Jenko jeans.
Speaker 2: Remember those Bis skater pants.
Speaker 1: With the nine layers of denim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but locked up. Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 1: Okay, So back at the office, and we've said this before,
Speaker 1: but it's always worth reminding people because it makes me
Speaker 1: smile and I think of it every time I rewatch
Speaker 1: a New Girl episode. The Astrat office, we're actually the
Speaker 1: New Girl offices where all of our writers and producers
Speaker 1: were all stationed up. So when we never had to
Speaker 1: shoot at Astrat, they all had to like kind of
Speaker 1: like I don't know, rearrange themselves and all be shoved
Speaker 1: into one back room like you know, yeah, clown car
Speaker 1: full of writers.
Speaker 2: You would see like you would see like a hallway
Speaker 2: just stacked with assistants sitting in little corners. They all
Speaker 2: had their I'm like, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: So we could shoot maybe in another office floor, real
Speaker 1: practical working office. These people are working on this, Like
Speaker 1: we're going to compromise a show. Why would we do
Speaker 1: into our our own show at the Brooklyn nine nine
Speaker 1: offices rent their offices for the day. What you're doing? Gosh,
Speaker 1: that was always so fun because then you would actually
Speaker 1: get to see people. That was always fun shooting there
Speaker 1: because you actually got to see all of our favorite
Speaker 1: writers and producers and would hang out with them all day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was kind of nice.
Speaker 2: And in this moment here Nick Or it's about to
Speaker 2: present you know, his his micro marketing strategy. However, Ed
Speaker 2: Ed Ed cuts him off at the pass and yeah,
Speaker 2: steals it, steals it, and he beats him to it,
Speaker 2: giving himself all the glory. Now Ed, he kind of
Speaker 2: whist was over. He says, hey, man, he may be dirty,
Speaker 2: but he plays old. And then he has his paws
Speaker 2: wrapped around his avocadas.
Speaker 1: Now, what's with you on the avocados?
Speaker 2: Damn avocata? Uh not the bar Winston he's he guesses
Speaker 2: that Ed stabbed him in the you can see it
Speaker 2: coming a mile away. C. C. Tel Schmid, there's way
Speaker 2: too much going on in his Shark and Minnow metaphors?
Speaker 1: Did hand Max these these huge, like huge rants that
Speaker 1: were like half a page long. And Max would be like, great,
Speaker 1: I'll just memorize it right now in three seconds and
Speaker 1: try to spit it out. And it made no sense.
Speaker 1: That was like the Shark and menow.
Speaker 2: One, especially when he would get frustrated because he couldn't
Speaker 2: get the words out. That was always the best, Mas damnit.
Speaker 2: And Winston tells him that they need to get Ed back.
Speaker 2: Schmid struggles to keep his shark minow toast metaphor. Going
Speaker 2: now back at the laft coach is suggesting that they rewatched.
Speaker 2: So they watched the game, have a good time. It's
Speaker 2: a long, long game, you know, double overtime. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that he's like, hey, I got an idea, let's watch
Speaker 2: it again.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done that? Rewatched a game? Yeah, a
Speaker 1: whole game.
Speaker 2: Oh, I do it all the time. They're like classic
Speaker 2: NBA games that you just get excited watching and it's
Speaker 2: actually more fun because you don't have the stress because
Speaker 2: you know the outcome.
Speaker 1: So do you know who does this? My dad does this.
Speaker 1: My dad. When I go to his house and walk in,
Speaker 1: he's always watching cricket. Oh yeah, and he's watching cricket
Speaker 1: games that are like forty years old, like old. But
Speaker 1: he only watches the cricket games where India wins. He
Speaker 1: just the games where India wins and he loves it.
Speaker 1: He just sits there and rewatches it. That there's no
Speaker 1: stress in his body of India is going to beat
Speaker 1: Pakistan or whatever. He just got so excited and he
Speaker 1: watches the game.
Speaker 2: So you know what, you know what I hate when
Speaker 2: I put on an old game like a old playoff
Speaker 2: game and I think my team won that game. So
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, yeah, this is the game Michael Jordan
Speaker 2: dropped forty five. I'm gonna watch this and then you
Speaker 2: watch it back and then they lose and you're like, damn,
Speaker 2: they're the most winningest.
Speaker 1: Team in this this. I gotta go out myself, count
Speaker 1: myself to pay, all right. So then there's this super
Speaker 1: sexy moment between Nick and Jess right where she has
Speaker 1: gone in now with a plan, a little manipulative plan,
Speaker 1: where she's like, I'm gonna flip this.
Speaker 2: Yes, y'all do.
Speaker 1: It's going to be x tap. But I would have
Speaker 1: to do is make him take the bait, and she
Speaker 1: does a brilliant job. The polybdual dance is one of
Speaker 1: the weirdest things I've ever seen, and the fact that
Speaker 1: it works on him is wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they both.
Speaker 1: I realized after seeing his bulls dance and then heard
Speaker 1: you the polybdual dance. I'm like, you guys are made
Speaker 1: for each other, because these are ways to get somebody's
Speaker 1: you know, motor going.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try that. I think I'm I'm going out
Speaker 2: tomorrow night. I'm going to try to do the sexy
Speaker 2: dance in the middle of the bar or the Paula
Speaker 2: Abdul dance, and let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably gonna work. That's the thing that's
Speaker 1: going to shock you.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, it moves the steps.
Speaker 2: But that's in that moment. Nick goes in and and
Speaker 2: and he's about to turn off the sex or turn
Speaker 2: the sex tap back on, and just goes aha, gotcha,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And now she's becoming.
Speaker 1: I can't hear aha without thinking of the coming to.
Speaker 2: America America shots. Where's the spoon?
Speaker 1: All right? So Winston is trying to help Schmid deal
Speaker 1: with this Ed situation, and he's like, here's the move.
Speaker 1: You got to find an older, crankier guy than Ed
Speaker 1: and then find out how to counter strike him.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: So they're making plans and plotting, right, which I think
Speaker 1: is interesting.
Speaker 2: Okay, and then that's when Nick comes in. He sits
Speaker 2: down and asks them, okay, so this is this moment
Speaker 2: is so it's so perfect because like Jake by the way,
Speaker 2: well yeah, they're they're looking for an old man that
Speaker 2: he comes down and he does real Jake Johnson's stuff.
Speaker 2: And which is we call him old man Johnson. That's
Speaker 2: a real thing. And he's asking them where they get
Speaker 2: their photos developed these days, that he wants to print
Speaker 2: out some sexy sense private selfie picks that he took
Speaker 2: to dangle in.
Speaker 1: Front and give them to Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, And he's like, there's a there's a camera on
Speaker 2: your on your phone, yeah, And he can't quite figure
Speaker 2: it out, and.
Speaker 1: Then he dives into the greatest conspiracy theory talk mm hmm. Ever,
Speaker 1: and I feel like they gave him a bunch of
Speaker 1: to say, but I feel like Jake probably was just like, actually,
Speaker 1: I need to look up a bunch of this stuff,
Speaker 1: because it does feel like a lot of this has merit.
Speaker 2: You know, even I'm a lot older now than I
Speaker 2: was when we shot this, and I believe it, and
Speaker 2: I believe most of what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: He goes through this whole thing, and he tells them
Speaker 2: that he only trusts the hard copy light bulb moment exactly.
Speaker 2: So now they realize who they're talking to, and this
Speaker 2: is the perfect old man they need to dive into.
Speaker 2: Schmid tells Uh tells Nick to seek advice from him
Speaker 2: next time he wants to take sexy news because he's
Speaker 2: the one, you know what I mean. He had the
Speaker 2: the poses. He had the half Nelson pose, the Guy
Speaker 2: Fieri pose, the black licorice pose. Was reminded me of that.
Speaker 2: Remind that moment reminded me of Zulander when he had
Speaker 2: all of his uh Ben Stiller, Old Wilson. They had
Speaker 2: all their poses like Latigra and all those different like
Speaker 2: or blue Steel was it? Magnum was another one. That's
Speaker 2: this if they do another. Uh so they do another
Speaker 2: Zulander Max, Max needs to get a phone call. Sure,
Speaker 2: that's also written for him. And you know Nick is
Speaker 2: complaining about the whole jersey thing, and Winston's like, just
Speaker 2: just wear a damn pistol jersey.
Speaker 1: The lengths you're going to Yeah, it's sit there and
Speaker 1: try to like get this woman to have sex with you.
Speaker 1: It's very simple put on the.
Speaker 2: Jersey because it don't come off anyway.
Speaker 1: So who is your team, Lamar, who's your team that
Speaker 1: you've had your girlfriends schedule their lives around.
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't really team based. It was player based.
Speaker 2: So it was Lebron James basketball. So it was the
Speaker 2: Calves a lot back in the day.
Speaker 1: The player that you dislike the most.
Speaker 2: The player that I disliked the most.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody who're just like, I guess the.
Speaker 2: Worst right now? I mean, right, yeah, right now, it's
Speaker 2: probably Dylan Brooks.
Speaker 1: So if a girl came in wearing a Dylan Brooks jersey,
Speaker 1: it was like, let's go, would you be like.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'd be like no, I would push her
Speaker 2: in a pool, let's go, yeah, you hope you know
Speaker 2: how to swim.
Speaker 1: A turn off? Is there a jersey that would be
Speaker 1: like a like, you'd just be like, doesn't take it off.
Speaker 2: No, I don't take it that seriously. But I but
Speaker 2: if she did it, and if she was like, you know,
Speaker 2: we're ready to become intimate, and she said I'm keeping
Speaker 2: the jersey on, then I'd be like, no, you're not.
Speaker 2: That's strange, you know. And then when she undresses she's
Speaker 2: wearing like Dylan Brooks underwear. Then I go, okay, this.
Speaker 1: Is this is here's my husband, Dylan Brooks. Yeah, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's making sense now, got it? Got it?
Speaker 2: But but but here's why. Here's why it's not that
Speaker 2: he's my least favorite player because I don't because he
Speaker 2: is a he's an antics guy and a bully. He's
Speaker 2: a good player, but he's like a villain, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So that's why it's like, oh, if
Speaker 2: you're wearing a villain's outfit, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: can go down this path, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I can't do it?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, ladies understand where this is. Dylan Brooks
Speaker 1: Jersey is not going to happen more complicated for you
Speaker 1: at the karaoke tomorrow.
Speaker 2: With the morning I go out and everyone's wearing Dylan Brooks.
Speaker 1: Jersey, that becomes this thing.
Speaker 2: Dyl Brooks Jersey salesbouts to go through the room.
Speaker 1: So Jess is losing her mind. She can't watch any
Speaker 1: more basketball. She doesn't want to do it. She just
Speaker 1: wants to be friends. And she's like, this is it.
Speaker 1: I'm over it, So she cuts the cord to the TV.
Speaker 1: She tries to blame it on a mouse rat and
Speaker 1: sees now that their afternoon is freed up if they
Speaker 1: can just like talk and chat and hang out and
Speaker 1: spend some quality time together. And then he's like, I
Speaker 1: guess sure, fine, and then he has a brain wave
Speaker 1: and he's like, let's do it over food and she's like, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: now we're going out to lunch together. This couldn't have
Speaker 1: gotten better. And then a great cut to a sports
Speaker 1: bar bar.
Speaker 2: The basket, which I thought was really funny because they're
Speaker 2: in LA and logistically speaking, at that time, the Pistons
Speaker 2: weren't playing on national television at the time, they weren't
Speaker 2: a good squad, so you have to get them on
Speaker 2: the NBA League Pass, which most sports bars don't even
Speaker 2: have in the LA area. They only play Lakers and Clippers,
Speaker 2: and then in the nationally televised games, which are the good.
Speaker 1: So much about this it's it's kind of blowing my mind.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I was just like, no, I don't buy it,
Speaker 2: Like this is.
Speaker 1: The one loophole thing and new girl that's gonna bug
Speaker 1: me for yeah, exactly. The math doesn't math. So then
Speaker 1: she then which is also like I love that our
Speaker 1: show can do this in twenty one minutes. She finally
Speaker 1: just comes clean and she's like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do this anymore. This is actually what was going on.
Speaker 1: This is really what I'm feeling, and this is why
Speaker 1: it's important, and he's like calls her Nick's girlfriend girlfriend.
Speaker 2: I mean listen. She was asking for it because she
Speaker 2: she's she said, there are no fun parts, there are
Speaker 2: no themes in basketball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very unfun to watch basketball.
Speaker 2: It's not for her, you know what I mean. Now,
Speaker 2: back at the office, Ed he's about to give his presentation,
Speaker 2: oh so fun, and he asked Schmidt for some papers,
Speaker 2: but Schmidt broke all the printers, causing Ed to use
Speaker 2: a computer to give his presentation, which his old ass
Speaker 2: don't know how to do. So what does he do?
Speaker 2: He fakes a heart attack to get out of the presentation.
Speaker 2: Schmidt wins. Now anyway, back at the bar, he's coming
Speaker 2: to look for Jess. He's gave it, he caved, so
Speaker 2: he's wearing the Pistons jersey. He sees Coach there by himself,
Speaker 2: and Nick just tells coach that he's like, listen, man
Speaker 2: just just wants to be your friend, Doug. Nick tells
Speaker 2: me he needs to tell Jess his sweet random thoughts
Speaker 2: because that's the type of stuff that you do to
Speaker 2: get to her, you know what I mean. You tell
Speaker 2: her the most the dumbest shit. And I love that.
Speaker 2: I love what he actually does tell her. It's so stupid.
Speaker 2: He mentions how he's never seen a baby pigeon before
Speaker 2: as an example.
Speaker 1: He's like, that's what you gotta tell her that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh Now back at the off, Nick comes in,
Speaker 2: He's like, you win. He barges into her room and
Speaker 2: what is she wearing just standing there? Damn Bulls Jersey.
Speaker 2: He tells her to take it off. No, leave it on,
Speaker 2: leave it on.
Speaker 1: This, by the way, is a very new Girl thing
Speaker 1: because I remember shooting something with Max and it was
Speaker 1: the tag of the episode. I think after the speed
Speaker 1: dating episode where it was turbine on, turbine off, and
Speaker 1: then it was turbn on, Like, this is the Nick
Speaker 1: Jess version of that. Like nothing like Nick Miller would
Speaker 1: love more than like his girlfriend wearing a full Bulls
Speaker 1: Yeah outfit, like the full kit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean that that would work for me. That
Speaker 2: would work for me.
Speaker 1: It is a very sweet end to this episode that
Speaker 1: they both were like, you know what, forget it, let's
Speaker 1: just do it. Let's just do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 1: And then she did it. It was very sweet. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't remember this episode, so I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that was such a smart way to wrap
Speaker 1: this up. I buy it.
Speaker 2: I buy it now. This is the moment here that
Speaker 2: I do remember. At the bar, Schmidt is thanking Winston
Speaker 2: for all his help and he offers him a job.
Speaker 2: Winston declines, and he starts describing what he wants to do,
Speaker 2: and that's when Cec interrupts him and says, have you
Speaker 2: ever thought about being a cop officer? Bishop? In that moment,
Speaker 2: Winston's doing his Denzel impression, says Trained Day is one
Speaker 2: of one of his favorite movies. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I don't know if I if I had been working
Speaker 2: on a Denzel impression back.
Speaker 1: Then, it was not in the script. This thing was
Speaker 1: not in the script. This is you, and.
Speaker 2: You know what I think it it was in this moment.
Speaker 2: I think it was J Farrow related. It could have
Speaker 2: been it because I think on SNL J had started
Speaker 2: doing Denzel even more and it was like mind blowing,
Speaker 2: and so then I started, like everybody started doing them.
Speaker 2: I mean people had done Denzel impressions before the past,
Speaker 2: but I think Jay Ferrell really like really like captivated
Speaker 2: folks with it, and so I think that's what it was.
Speaker 2: In that moment. I had been either just heard it
Speaker 2: or did it, and I just did it, like did
Speaker 2: a bit and they kept it in there, and then
Speaker 2: for the rest of my career. I've been doing these
Speaker 2: little Denzel bits for a very very long time now,
Speaker 2: which I'm going to retire at some point.
Speaker 1: You're gonna how can you retire a bit?
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Denzel keeps doing great movies and
Speaker 2: so it's hard to stop, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Have you seen Gladiator too? No, he doesn't have a dialect,
Speaker 2: that an accent at all. He's just done that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like roam. Yeah. I like that. Uh, yeah, that
Speaker 2: was protest.
Speaker 1: That's amazing that he's just like, nah.
Speaker 2: He's ain't doing all that.
Speaker 1: And everybody's just like, Bravo, Okay, that's what we came
Speaker 1: here for, Denzel, and.
Speaker 2: Exactly he was great. Uh and social Maid has to
Speaker 2: let him know that your training day impression, that's not
Speaker 2: what it's like is gonna. I love this tag too,
Speaker 2: when when Coach knocks on the door and starts telling
Speaker 2: Jess that he would really love to be her friend,
Speaker 2: and she gets super excited. She opens the door, you know,
Speaker 2: half naked, covered in a blanket, just to like have
Speaker 2: that moment, and then she shuts the door in his
Speaker 2: face and he does the butt bump.
Speaker 1: The funniest line is he's like, I know you guys
Speaker 1: are done already. Yeah, it's like, don't lock me up
Speaker 1: because you right, what are you doing? Let me in?
Speaker 2: Oh man, we'll be right back. Is crazy, It is crazy. Well,
Speaker 2: right back, and when we come back, we're going to
Speaker 2: talk more about roommate life and we're back. That was
Speaker 2: a fun episode.
Speaker 1: That was such a fun episode. Also, real fact, I
Speaker 1: love watching basketball, so this was actually a very fun
Speaker 1: episode for me to watch.
Speaker 2: Wait, so you your team Raptors. I'm assuming I wasn't
Speaker 2: the old Vancouver Grizzlies.
Speaker 1: Ew did you see the Raptors.
Speaker 2: Then went back to old school Vancouver Grizzlies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was exactly right. I loved the Grizzlies so
Speaker 1: much so I loved basketball. I did not live in
Speaker 1: North America for almost my entire life, and then I
Speaker 1: moved back at seventeen, and I could not believe I
Speaker 1: lived in a city that had an NBA team. And
Speaker 1: I was just like, and I was so excited, you
Speaker 1: know that. I was like, that's it. I'm here, I'm
Speaker 1: the good luck chy arm. We're gonna win everything. Ye
Speaker 1: got it? It's phenomenal what happened. It got real dark,
Speaker 1: got real dark. But there's a big rivalry between Vancouver
Speaker 1: and Toronto, and so I was definitely not cheering for
Speaker 1: the Raptors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then that team, that team, that team is gone.
Speaker 2: Now that team is.
Speaker 1: Nowphis sold the Grizzlies to Memphis, and little known fact,
Speaker 1: they obviously did not want to be called the Memphis Grizzlies.
Speaker 1: How does that make any sense?
Speaker 2: Does it?
Speaker 1: And so they were changing the name to the Memphis Express.
Speaker 1: Did you know.
Speaker 2: This much of the basket ball?
Speaker 1: So they were gonna change the name of the Memphis
Speaker 1: Express and the team was going to be sponsored by FedEx.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Express, the Express.
Speaker 2: They're in the FedEx building is the thing.
Speaker 1: And I guess that's where the NBA drew the line
Speaker 1: because they were like, no, we don't want like, you know,
Speaker 1: Chicago McDonald's nuggets running around the girls, you know, Junior Whopper.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're like, we have to, we have to draw a
Speaker 1: line somewhere. We've given them the buildings, we've given them everything,
Speaker 1: all these companies. We cannot have the little chicken nuggets
Speaker 1: just running. So they wouldn't let Memphis change the name
Speaker 1: to the Express. And then I just got even more
Speaker 1: mad because I was like, you don't even respect the Grizzlies,
Speaker 1: you don't even want them to be Grizzlies. I got
Speaker 1: the whole thing.
Speaker 2: No, I get it. I got I was happy when.
Speaker 1: I moved to LA because then I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll pick a team here. But I was never going
Speaker 1: to go to the Raptors. Couldn't rivalry. You can't go
Speaker 1: to that team.
Speaker 2: It's too weird, that's true. Who's your team in LA?
Speaker 2: Lakers or Clippers?
Speaker 1: This is actually hard. I just love LA. I'm just
Speaker 1: Randy Newman here. I'll be like, it's the Lakers as
Speaker 1: long as it's I'm a much more invested in sports
Speaker 1: and the teams I don't like, like, I'll commit to
Speaker 1: that harder than the teams.
Speaker 2: I like, Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: I just got the hater raid going. All right, we're
Speaker 1: in the mess around already. I feel like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like we just dove all the way in. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's a question from the mess around today. What's
Speaker 1: the craziest thing you've done for a relationship that wasn't you.
Speaker 2: That wasn't like in your character to do.
Speaker 1: Craziest lots of crazy things in relationships.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like said I love you and stuff. I
Speaker 2: would I would say, you know, that's a tough one
Speaker 2: because you know you're doing it, so it is a
Speaker 2: little part of you in your in your that just
Speaker 2: means you are willing to go that extra mile to
Speaker 2: step outside of yourself. But I would say for me,
Speaker 2: I know, I don't even want to put this information
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 1: Actually, careful what you say now, I know, because I
Speaker 1: also just also understand that most people put like a
Speaker 1: crazy thing done in a relationship in the same bucket
Speaker 1: as like romantic For some reason, we do, right, even
Speaker 1: like the crazy lady wearing diapers and the helmet who
Speaker 1: drove across the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to like.
Speaker 1: Terrorize this man. A lot of people are like, man,
Speaker 1: she really loves him though. Yeah, So be careful what
Speaker 1: you say, because you set a bar and women want
Speaker 1: will want the crazy Lamarne to show up in the relationship.
Speaker 2: I know that was the thing. I I'll tell you
Speaker 2: offline what I the real, the real crazy thing that
Speaker 2: I did, which I don't want to put that out
Speaker 2: there because and then it's going to be expected of me.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. Crazy and like and
Speaker 1: crazy in love. Somehow we've put in the same bucket.
Speaker 1: We've watched too many grand romantic gestures and movies and
Speaker 1: TV shows where we expect the most. Yeah, and if
Speaker 1: it's borderline like call nine one one, we're still just
Speaker 1: like mmm, yeah, he's so like to me, it's great toxic.
Speaker 1: We got some weird toxic stuff going on as women,
Speaker 1: just because we've watched too many crazy movies.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know what I would say. I
Speaker 2: went to I went to like three weddings in a
Speaker 2: month because of my ex And that's unlike me. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't give a damn that your friends are in love.
Speaker 2: Like I got to show up to all damn Like
Speaker 2: they're not paying for me to wear these suits and
Speaker 2: like get there and like one of the trips was
Speaker 2: in Costa Rica. I was like, damn, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. I have a friend of mine, one
Speaker 1: of my best friends. I think she's been in never
Speaker 1: mind gone to I don't even know what the numbers
Speaker 1: have gone to, but she's been in something like twenty
Speaker 1: five or more weddings been in them.
Speaker 2: Is she single?
Speaker 1: She's single, and but it's wild because I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: how much everybody loves her. Everybody loves her, and she
Speaker 1: doesn't say no. And so I remember watching her make
Speaker 1: these very loving, kind choices, showing up for her girlfriends
Speaker 1: and her guy friends and being in the weddings and
Speaker 1: doing all this stuff that it actually pushed me to
Speaker 1: the other extreme, and I just like, don't do weddings, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's hard to take cherry pick
Speaker 1: like I'll come to yours. I'm not coming to your wedding.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I'm not coming to any weddings.
Speaker 1: I love you. Here's a gift. I'm not coming to wedding. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't mind weddings when they're like spread.
Speaker 1: Out, like three in a month is crazy.
Speaker 2: Three in the mother is wild. And then one of
Speaker 2: them you got to travel and getting passport.
Speaker 1: Not getting on of Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: We talked about this next one. I feel like people
Speaker 1: know where we stand on this at the fine line
Speaker 1: of being too close with their friend's significant other in
Speaker 1: part ner. We've talked about this, this this is we
Speaker 1: we know where the.
Speaker 2: Line is this when the line is body parts touching, but.
Speaker 1: The butts, the butts touching is the line. I also though,
Speaker 1: I like I said, I think this is a very
Speaker 1: unique situation because it's also your roommate and yeah, you
Speaker 1: want to have your own kind of friendship. So it
Speaker 1: was a bit weird. And I also will say Nick
Speaker 1: kind of gave the green light like you can be
Speaker 1: his friend.
Speaker 2: I don't care. So it didn't touch, cuss, bother him.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that doesn't make yeh, that's that's not There's
Speaker 2: a lot of security going on, meaning secure personalities.
Speaker 1: That's true. Nick is very secure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very secure because even when even in the
Speaker 2: episode where Tate Diggs was laying butt naked in his bed,
Speaker 2: he didn't no, he looked at her was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I believe you. Yeah, and then he went and tried
Speaker 2: to beat him up.
Speaker 1: All right, final question, have you ever been backstabbed at
Speaker 1: work like Ed did to Schmidt?
Speaker 3: Hmmm?
Speaker 2: Uh, I had work not, I mean I didn't. I
Speaker 2: haven't had I haven't had significant places of employment besides acting,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like I you know, I
Speaker 2: wait at tables a lot, and you know I worked
Speaker 2: at Walmart for a little bit, but there wasn't a
Speaker 2: lot of backstabbing. It wasn't there. It wasnt Walmart's not
Speaker 2: a backstabbing culture, you know what I mean. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we're just like friendly people, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: just trying to help folks get their toilet paper needs
Speaker 2: in order. Yeah, you know, the Walmart greeters were the
Speaker 2: best man made. It made you happy when you walked
Speaker 2: in and made you happy when you when you left.
Speaker 2: And so uh, I would say, I've had I've had
Speaker 2: people steal jokes of mine. It's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 2: you're you're improvising a moment or something, and they say
Speaker 2: your joke on the next one, and you're like, that's
Speaker 2: my joke, that's my joke.
Speaker 1: I will say. I worked at a place coffee shop,
Speaker 1: coffee shop that is a very well known coffee shop.
Speaker 1: I worked at a coffee shop for a while in
Speaker 1: London and there was a bunch of other baristas that
Speaker 1: worked there. They were all Italian and Brazilian myself, and
Speaker 1: we just had this coat, all women. We had this
Speaker 1: code if a jerk came in and ordered a coffee,
Speaker 1: where we would then kind of call the order out
Speaker 1: in a certain way and sabotage their morning coffee because
Speaker 1: we would open at like five point thirty in the
Speaker 1: morning for like six am. So I remember there were
Speaker 1: this these construction workers always were coming in. I guess
Speaker 1: they were on a job site close by, so they
Speaker 1: were always there with this girl. She was really beautiful
Speaker 1: who worked there, and she was on cash and they
Speaker 1: would tell her like a fun dream about you this morning.
Speaker 1: It was a great way to wake up. They're like
Speaker 1: twice her age. The whole thing was so gross, trust me.
Speaker 1: They got decaf with burnt beans every morning, goodbye, having
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. We would get like the expired
Speaker 1: sandwiches from the back and give it to them. We're
Speaker 1: supposed to throw away they wouldwich. But they were so
Speaker 1: gross and out of pocket that we were just like,
Speaker 1: this is karma. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Look up you see like con trucks and workers falling
Speaker 2: off of scaffolds.
Speaker 1: Keep you with dreams, tell yourself gross. So I've never
Speaker 1: been backstabbed, I think by a co worker, but which
Speaker 1: definitely did some things at work that were not exactly
Speaker 1: fully above board. But I've have no regrets.
Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't have regrets, regrets. I used to wait.
Speaker 2: I used to wait tables in the back. You would
Speaker 2: see sometimes, you know, if there was a and this
Speaker 2: is this is gross, but I would see some weird stuff,
Speaker 2: like if if somebody didn't like the person they were serving,
Speaker 2: you would see them do shit sometimes and you would
Speaker 2: have to like, eh, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you know, I was thinking about. I remember
Speaker 1: reading in like an you know, an US weekly or
Speaker 1: something that a fun fact about this celebrity. I remember
Speaker 1: that reading that who knows if it's true or not,
Speaker 1: but that Madonna brings like brought her own cutlery to restaurants.
Speaker 1: And ever since I've read it, I can't unread it
Speaker 1: because I'm like, if you think about how the forks
Speaker 1: and spoons and knives have been in everyone's mouth, look
Speaker 1: around at your fellow diners, and then they give it
Speaker 1: a lowrrence and now it's in your mouth. Why is
Speaker 1: that crazy? They made it seem like Madonna was crazy,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's just so smart. She's just like cutlery.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing that's if you're if yes, on one hand,
Speaker 2: if you if you are a germaphobe, or if you
Speaker 2: are taking the the ultra. If you're taking that approach
Speaker 2: that you're taking that everyone's you know, that's that's fine. However,
Speaker 2: I've worked in restaurants. They have dishwashers and they do
Speaker 2: like they have both people hand washed and like actual
Speaker 2: dish washing machine, and they have sanitizing solution that they now.
Speaker 2: Now whether these people are doing it, if they're living
Speaker 2: up to the code, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's why like open kitchens, show me that open kitchen,
Speaker 1: let me see what's going on.
Speaker 2: But that's also like that's also like saying I'm going
Speaker 2: to bring my own food to the restaurant as well.
Speaker 1: So this is a you have a corkage fee here.
Speaker 1: I am with my wine, I brought my sandwich, I
Speaker 1: brought my chefoon.
Speaker 2: I brought my chef.
Speaker 1: Could you clear that burner? Yeah? Anyway, just.
Speaker 2: My own chair too.
