I just filed for divorce. Whoa. I said the words that I've said like in my head for like 16 years.

Wild. Listen to Miss Spelling on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, guys. It's Zoe and... Lamorne. And Hannah.

And we're here with our show. I don't know why I said a couple things. I don't know why I said my name that way. I thought you said it. I thought you did it really well. I was kind of put on the spot. You paused and I thought you were going to say it. And then I just like, oh, snap. No, I like to hear your sweet mellifluous voice. Let's try this one more time. You took a dramatic beat to show your range. Ring, ring, ring, ring.

May I please speak with Zoe? Oh, hello, Lamorne. Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was like working with you guys. Hey, guys, it's Zoe Deschanel and... It's Lamorne. And Hannah. You think that was better? That was a lot better. We have a lot of women listeners. They just like my... It's like a soothing voice for the ladies.

And then I did that. I just screwed it up. It was good. I like your normal voice. Talk as yourself. Like in addition to your radio voice. My normal voice like this? Yeah, I mean, I like it all. My Robert Downey Jr. Tropic Thunder voice. It also sounds like...

Do you remember, like, there were a lot of, like, Euro bands from the... Euro dance bands from the 90s that had a guy that would rap with a voice like that? Wait, what? Like that Barbie song. Oh, dude. Sounds like that Duoshmish guy. Sounds like that voice. Yeah.

It sounds like the beginning of the Jodeci cry for you. Oh, man. Hello, baby. Hey, baby. Yeah, it's the one deep voice guy from Boyz II Men. Boyz II Men. Yeah. The water runs dry. We always got to bring it back to Boyz II Men. You got to do it. That's the greatest group of all time. Yeah. Right next to she and him. Thank you. Do you love that boy bands have to always announce...

their presence with a song that tells you about them as as an entity like Motown Philly is oh yeah yeah Boyz II Men's like and then there's like Backstreet's Back right yeah yeah you gotta know exactly Motown yeah they they all have to tell you about themselves in an intro song yeah to get everybody familiar because you know people have their specific

They're a fan of a specific character, if you will. Right. And they would like to know about them. Yeah. It's kind of like when you have that intro song, you're like, okay, we got this out of the way. Now I can find which one of you guys I like the most. Also in the 90s, there was always two that were...

hard to distinguish between. Like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. And there was, in the UK, it was like, take that and I obviously like Take That Better because I can't even remember the other one. Take this. Was that Bad Boy Records? Take that and give this. Take that better. So we're going to talk about New Girl. Episode 2.

Previously, our new girl. The episode is 102. Kryptonite. Coach is out. Bye bye, Damon. Will we ever see him again? The real fans know. And Winston returns to the loft from his adventures in Latvia. You're going to love Winston, I do believe. Here's the thing. Winston wants his room back, but Schmidt is the top dog now. And he refuses to give up the rooms.

Eager to be just one of the guys, Jess tries to surprise Winston, but Winston is hungover. Winston been drinking. Nick begs her to keep it down, but she wakes him up. Needless to say, Winnie is pissed.

Jess complains she is out of clothes. She left all of her things at her ex's house. Schmidt allows her to borrow from the lost and found box of his sexual escapades. And if you know New Girl, then you know Schmidt be having some escapades sexually. Trying to be one of the guys, Jess accidentally hits their TV with a basketball. She don't know how to handle the rock, y'all. Now Jess must pick up her items from her ex-boyfriend's house.

Jess valiantly tries to get her things back, but she's still under the spell of Spencer's perfect hair. I mean, if you'd seen his hair, wouldn't you? Meanwhile, with her friend's support, a few drives around the block, and evidence of a beloved plant's neglect, Jess finally gets the chutzpah, the chutzpah, to get her TV, which she drops. Silly Jess, but hey, it's better than not having a TV at all. And now, back to the show.

It was 102, but would we call that the first episode? I don't know. I get confused. They say pilot. It was the, it wasn't the, it was the, it was, I mean, because you shot the pilot already and then you had a bit of a gap in between shooting the pilot and shooting the second episode. How long was that gap? I think we shot the pilot in April and I think we shot the first episode in September.

September something like that it was kind of like school year a little bit but more time everyone so there's this funny thing that I always notice with pilots to first episodes because there's always a lag time between the pilot and the first episode or the you know or the second episode whatever you want to call it and everyone always gets more fit than they were

Everyone else goes to the gym a lot while they're waiting. And then you come back and you're like, whoa. Yeah, I think Max was like, I have to take my shirt off again. Give me three months. I got it. Great. Perfect. Max was hitting the CrossFit gym. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That first season, he was like, they were making him take his shirt off on an episode basis, I feel like.

Well, he was also very, very dedicated, too. I mean, he would work out. We'd have 6 a.m. call times, sometimes earlier. And he had already gone to the gym. Yeah. But he became dedicated, I think, once we got, like, he knew that we were picked up and that was going to be a thing. Because him and I talked about it. Because I remember finding out there was an episode coming up where I'm, like, sun tanning on a roof. Yeah.

And I remember calling Liz Merriweather into my trailer because I saw the wardrobe, big quotations around that, where I was like hanging in my trailer and I was like, I was not aware this is a comedy that I would have to be like, I was so nervous about it. And I remember Max talking to me.

And he was like, oh yeah, I feel like this is going to be a thing before you and I, and now I'm going to the gym constantly. And I was like, okay, great. You got to go to the spray tan person that sprays the abs on.

You got to go to your steroid guy. Nice and juiced up. Thankfully, the spray tan thing I had covered from my mama and my daddy, so that was okay. That one happened in utero. So today we're going to revisit kryptonite. Yeah. Kryptonite. Kryptonite. Spencer was my kryptonite. For those who aren't familiar with what kryptonite is, it's that little green thing.

interstellar stone that can kill Superman or stop Superman or get rid of his powers. It weakens Superman. Your Achilles heel. That's right. And Spencer, which I probably laughed the most out of, out this moment and I shouldn't have, uh,

It was based on the pilot, but also into this episode as well. How... Because, I mean, he's a good-looking guy, but he's not your typical Chris Hemsworth, what Hollywood will tell you is a good-looking guy. But the way you fawn over him is as if he is Fabio in the 90s. He takes his helmet off and he does all this. It's so funny. His hair was...

Yeah, beautiful hair. And you play it so believable. Oh my God, thank you. You know what I was thinking? I was like, it's so funny because I had seen the episode, the first episode, the pilot a lot of times, but I haven't seen all the other episodes a lot of times. And I was just thinking how great you guys were and Max and Jake, like everyone. I was like, oh, in my mind, I had thought that it took us a longer time to like figure it out. I was like,

No. All of my co-actors had this figured out from day one. You guys were fantastic. That is not how I felt. Sorry.

You were so... You're really great. You're really great. Day one. Day one. I was afraid day one because you guys had a thing going on already. And all I kept getting was, oh, you're replacing Damon, even though that wasn't necessarily the case. So I was like, okay, Damon is so great. How do I... I don't know what to do. And I couldn't find bits or play in some of the lines because I was so nervous. I just wanted to like...

say the lines as an actor as it not do any bits just get just like play it as real as I could possibly play it you not it was so great I thought it was I thought that top dog bit like worked so well because you and Jake were like playing it really in a very grounded way and then

Max so believably wants to be the top dog. And it's like, when I think of that storyline, it sounds like if you described it, it could sound like

It could go broad and it didn't at all. You guys played it so well. You were all great. And then Hannah, when you come in the car, like you're so dry and hilarious. I was just really, I was, it was so fun watching it. It was fun. Just to echo what Lamorne said, because I remember I only had two very quick scenes in that episode. One,

One coming into the loft and then one when we're, you know, like basically like in the car and then we go into the house. But I will never forget because it had been a huge gap. So I hadn't seen you guys. Right. And you guys had been shooting all week all together. And then all of a sudden to pop in. And the first thing we shot for me was that I had to take the bike and I'd forgotten all about it until I watched it. And I had like a PTSD response to my body watching it. And I was like, oh, God, I remember that.

Walking the bike out of the house that was full of stuff in these ridiculous like four inch wedge heels. They put me in to make me look like I'm a model because you and I are the same height. Oh, yes. So I totally forgot that they made this really big thing out of like, well, Hannah's supposed to be a model and models are tall, which is like not true. Like a lot of models are different sizes and different.

like yeah runway models are tall but like in la you have a lot of print models who aren't necessarily tall and but they made this very big deal out of it and so then they decided you had to be in four inch heels at all times and all times and whenever you're standing next to me because we are the same height yes it was the craziest thing and so i i was just watching my you know young self

I just remember when they called action and I was just like, get down the stairs, don't fall. Don't drop the bike. Don't drop anything. Because the whole crew is watching you. You have this tiny little thing to do. And you had to be very cool and be like, you can keep the bell. I was so scared. I would have tripped, Hannah. Hats off to you. You should have done it. I've done plenty of it. I should have Genslingered it. Yeah. Yeah.

Just to recap, guys, in this episode, Jess needs to get her stuff back from that heartthrob Spencer. And it's motivated by the fact that I break the TV with a basketball. Yes. And everyone's mad at me for breaking the TV. And the guys put pressure on me saying I need to go play.

back to Spencer's house or my old house and grab my stuff. And it's just very hard for me because Spencer is my kryptonite. He's your kryptonite. He's your Fabio. He's my Fabio. And it's interesting. I wasn't, I should have gone back and looked at the pilot. Was that basketball hoop there in the pilot episode or was it there because my character showed up and he used to play basketball?

I pretty sure that it wasn't there until that episode that you. Yeah. That was one of your things you brought back from Latvia. Yeah. I brought back a hoop. Because all professional basketball players have like a, what was it like a Fisher Price? Yeah. It was like a little seven foot hoop. Yeah. Listen, just talk to any pro ball player. They'll tell you. Yeah. I just called LeBron. He just said, yeah, I got a couple of those in my bag.

A nice five and a half footer. Yes. Yeah. You got to practice somehow. How's he going to practice? I remember that. I didn't know anyone really. I'd met Max a couple of times just out and about prior to the show. But Jake and I, we had talked beforehand about playing, being from Chicago, things we like, the sports that we like, Chicago sports, basketball and basketball being one of those things.

And in that little moment when we're discussing Schmidt and everybody else and we're playing basketball. And for me, I thought I said, my God, this job is going to be a cakewalk. I just get to sit around a basketball hoop all day.

and dunk the basket. I was like, this is so fun. If I could do all my lines right here, just like how Jake does all his lines sitting on the couch, I was like, this would be two of my favorite things combined into one. But that was not the case. That was not the case. Not the case at all. I do remember because they stuck me in those four-inch heels for at least six years that I was always standing. I'd walk into the loft and be standing in these heels. I feel like after a while, they kind of let you be your height for a while.

For a certain. I think it took like five seasons. Yeah, it took a little while. It was not okay. It took till almost the end. But I remember being so uncomfortable. And I was telling Jake, I was just like, my feet are like, like literally destroyed. And he was like, yeah, see, you made a mistake.

He made a mistake in the pilot of not like saying it was a character choice. He's like for your for and to choose things that would be comfortable. He said, I said that Nick is the kind of guy that's always just sitting on a couch with a beer in his hand.

And look how that's worked out for me. And I was like, dang! I was like, that's genius advice for an actor. Sit down, have a drink. My favorite part about Jake Johnson's approach to the day. So for the folks out there in listener land, we get to set, we

We have our lines memorized. Maybe we don't, but we do a quick rehearsal and a quick blocking rehearsal so the crew can know exactly what our movements will be. The director gives us ideas. We give the director ideas, etc.,

I remember Jake always, always rebutting it going. Now I see why I think my character will be sitting here. He would do it so much. He would do it so that he look over at you and wink. You know, that was like, that was my introduction. I don't feel comfortable. Yeah, I don't feel comfortable. They'd be like, I think Jake, you walk in. He goes, no,

No, I don't feel comfortable. I think I'm sitting on the couch. And it worked. It worked. It's definitely a character choice. It became part of the character, whether it was meant to be or not. Very intentional choices. He's also like, I have a notebook. I have to...

So he could write his lines on the notebook in case he forgets them. Just tuck your sides in there. It's fine. That's why working behind the bar eventually when they put me there, that's also a Jay gave me a trick. He was like, they never see below the bar.

Which Marlon Brando, by the way, would do that. He always had his lines written everywhere. Isn't there like an infamous picture where he had stuck his lines on the off-camera actor's face? Oh, yes. Yes, he did. He's like a famous picture of that and he's just like reading it. But in an incredible performance, he's delivering what he's just reading. The same thing we're discussing now, we talked about it on set. And I remember as a bit once, Jake stuck his lines to Max's forehead. Ha ha.

While Max was off camera and they did a scene that way. Now, again, I wasn't there in the beginning. And we'll dive more into the episode. But I wasn't there in the beginning. And so for me, when the show got picked up, it was exciting. But it wasn't that exciting because I wasn't on it. I was like, oh, damn. I was like, man, I knew I should have did that show. How did you guys feel? I mean...

What were you going through? What was happening in your life when you heard that, yes, it's going to go? I definitely felt like every movie that I ever did where I had fun on set would turn out well. And if I didn't have fun on set, it wouldn't turn out well. And it was this weird thing where I know a lot of people have totally different experiences than that. And this was just my experience. And so we had so much fun making that pilot that I was like,

This has got to turn out well. And I was like, they have to pick this up. Like, I just, I felt like so...

confident that like we had such a great you know group of people and like you know I just felt like it was I hate to say no brainer because like look I know tons of factors you know go into picking out the shows that get picked up but you know Liz being so talented us having you know Jake Kazan Brett and Dave great team you know in the writing room and you know on the directorial side and then like getting such a good you know cast like

I'm not patting myself on the back. I mean, like, you guys are all so great. So I just felt like I felt really lucky to be working with all these people. So and I've been working. I know. I felt like it was going to happen. And then when it did, I was like, we're all on the same page. If it didn't, if it hadn't gotten picked up, I would have been.

So sad. So really, yeah, I just really, really wanted to keep working with everybody. So, you know, it's hard to say. I mean, I was overjoyed that this long story short, I was overjoyed. What about you, Hannah? And then and then, you know, I was sad that Damon couldn't do the show. But then when we got to circle back to Lamorne and.

I have to say, we all rallied so hard to get Lamorne on the show. Like, I wrote emails, called people. I know Jake did, Max did, and

I don't know what you were doing, Hannah. I did not call anybody. Everyone was like, she has zero power at that point in my career. I was in Spain, surfing. I was like, I remember I could probably find the email. Maybe I'll find it and read it on another episode where I could find the email I wrote. I can't remember if I, I think I might have written to Kevin Reilly who was heading up

the network um at the time and i remember saying like i really believe that lamorne morris is the man for this job please give him your seal of approval to whom it may concern yeah i was like he's so great oh come on now thank you thank you what a voice like this i mean what i'll tell you about finding out our show was picked up that it has ruined me

For the rest of my life, because because it was my first pilot experience. It was my first real pilot experience. I shot one and it got picked up and I just thought, yeah.

That's what's supposed to happen. You do a show, you do it with really great people. It's really wonderful. And then it picks up and then it runs for eight, nine years and everybody's really wonderful. That's a great experience. And then I got out into the real world, you guys. It was a very different thing. And so for me, it's interesting that I was so new to the industry.

here in LA and how tough this business can be and all the different factors, like you said, they go into actually picking up a pilot and how it lines up with their schedule. Like, I didn't know any of that. So it made perfect sense to me. I was like, it was a great pilot, I guess. And then it becomes a show. And now in retrospect, I'm like,

Holy smokes. Even like the best pilots, there's no guarantee. And how lucky we were that the stars like aligned for us that we got picked up. So lucky. Yeah, I don't know if I had actually that much like...

The level of deep gratitude that I now only have in hindsight after seeing how amazing pilots getting passed over and all that stuff that I've learned over the years. So I definitely was just like, yeah, of course. Cool. All right. When do we start work? And the fact that they were willing to kind of take a chance on like a show. I mean, look, it's an ensemble. All shows end up being ensembles. But like, you know, the fact that it was

you know, had strong female characters. Um, I got us, I have to say up to that point, there weren't a ton, there weren't a ton. So, um, that year was the year they actually kind of started picking up more shows with female leads and stuff. Um,

Two broke girls. And they were like, yeah, two broke girls. Mindy Project was like next year. Yeah, it was kind of a little bit of a renaissance where they were like, oh, girls, I guess they can be funny. Wasn't it? The height of the conversation, like really the height of that ridiculous conversation. I remember like Tina Fey and all of these women and Liz and you having to deal with this question of like,

You know, people say women can't be fun. Like it wasn't just like a smattering of that conversation. Shockingly. Yeah. And also shockingly, they were like, but can can a girl be pretty and fun?

and you're like i can't even answer that question i mean that always is the question isn't it yeah because can they to do two things at once that might be it's hard being pretty and it's hard being funny i remember to go back to what uh hannah was saying i remember um

Towards the end of New Girl, we were coming to an end. I was talking with Max on set and Max had done a number of, you know, pilots that didn't go, recurs on shows. And, you know, he'd been around the block and New Girl obviously was a blessing to his life. And I asked him, I said, man, you know, I don't know if I'm going to like, I wonder what work would be like after this. He was like,

It's all downhill from here, man. Let's just say, he goes, "We got very lucky." He goes, "We got very, very lucky on this show." He goes, "This doesn't happen often."

And I, you know, obviously, you know, we still continue to work in some capacity and we do shows or movies. We do a podcast about. We do a podcast. We can't let it go. We can't. It was such a fun time. We just like each other. It was such a fun time. All right, let's dive right back into. Yes, let's do it. Thanks for keeping us on track, Marnie. Yeah.

Every once in a while, I'm going to call you Mornie because it's your nickname. Mornie. That's what my nieces call me. Mornie.

My grandma used to call me that. She used to say, good morning, Mourny. So cute. Good morning, Grandma. I miss that woman. But the beginning of this episode, the cold open, was one of the funniest things I've seen. And it really set up the dynamic of the characters in the loft with Schmidt asking you where he's the most sexy and how...

I can see the transition between you're going, is he being serious to, oh, I could play a game with him. And then Nick instantly going, cause they know each other for the longest time. It's like, oh, I can play this game with him. And then,

The question I have is, where did Schmidt look the sexiest? On the chair. On the chair? Beds trying too hard. The side of the chair, he kind of looks weird. The chair, he just looks like normal and kind of relaxed, you know? And he set it up, right? He was like, I'll be sitting here just like flipping through a magazine, being real cash. Yeah.

He's sitting on the bed. Yeah. No. I like the bed just because every time he jumped on the bed, he did the same adjustment. Every single time he smoothed. He had to smooth his sheets. That was funny. The thing I loved about that scene too was it became one of those things that was like an on-camera, off-camera thing that felt true to life that translated in chemistry, which was like these bits, right?

You know, because obviously and it was like the first time we saw like a Jess and Nick bit and like the easy chemistry of that and how it worked. And those things lived like off camera so much. And I was like, wow, an episode to like, yeah, they had like a bit and it worked and it was funny. And then the person caught on that they were being messed with. Yeah, I thought that was actually pretty cool.

I think we need to take a little break, you guys. Break time. Break time. Let's go sell some stuff that we use, obviously. Of course. In a world where TikTok didn't exist yet, las películas no tenían color. The comedy of a genio mexicano crossed borders y conquistó the heart of America. Da, da, da!

And his catchphrases are part of our culture, but...

So before the break, we were talking about our on-set bits. And I do have to say there is this, there was this kind of cool thing about this show that we could all do like mix and match things.

With who we were having our storylines with, you know, because you might have a story like I might have a week where I'm just working with Lamorne or a week where I'm not just but mainly working with Lamorne, mainly working with Hannah, mainly working with Jake, mainly working with Max. And I kind of treasured all those, you know, those weeks when I got to kind of.

you know, bond with each one of the cast members and, and then we kind of saw what those dynamics were because they all changed our performances and like, you know, we're all different people when we're around our,

various friends and family and coworkers. So that was one thing that I definitely saw in this episode was that, you know, because, you know, it was our dynamics were just forming. You really start to see the genesis of those things. So thanks for pointing that out, Hannah. Yeah.

Oh, I could tell you this to piggyback what you're saying. You're saying it was exciting. I was nervous because I like people's energy. It doesn't show at all. You're like, seems so cool. It does feel like you're such a perfect fit. But yeah, it was your first day at school. Yeah, I was like, oh, gosh, is it?

Am I going to be funny? Are they going to be mean? Like, how is it like, how's this work? Because I was so used to doing at that point, up until that point, I'd hosted television shows before and I'd done a bunch of commercials where there wasn't a ton of scene work. It was just you doing a bit to the camera or with one other person, you know, and then you go home.

This, you know, throughout the course of a day, you had a scene with everybody and sometimes the entire group. And you're just trying to find your place. And I'll be honest with you, I was the most nervous doing, obviously doing scenes with Zoe just because...

I was, well, yeah, at first, well, I mean, you're a goddamn movie star. So I was like, this doesn't make any sense. Like you were saying, Hannah, this is my first pilot season and all that stuff. I didn't, I was just kind of showing up.

And here's this woman who's done a hundred movies. She's been doing it since she was younger. The whole family's crushing it in this particular arena. So there's a certain level of professionalism and skill that you have to have. And experience brings you a lot of that. And I knew I was inexperienced. And so I was like, I don't want to, I kept thinking like,

when we do these two shots, I don't want to mess up her stuff. Oh my gosh, you're so good, Lamorne. I didn't know. That's how I felt in the beginning. I didn't know. And you were so good right out the gate. I mean, I turned into a superhero. Well, I know. We all know that. We all know the end of the story. A humble superhero. Very humble. Captain Humility. Captain Humility.

I will say it's funny that...

I'm very humble, but I'm super here. Just happy to be the best. Switch the genre out of comedy. It's funny. I was thinking about the difference between the pilot and this episode. Because when I watched the pilot, I was like, this is timeless. Like, they're so smart. There's nothing that dates this show. You can watch it now and it's... There's nothing that throws you. And then I started to watch this second episode and I was like...

they're doing it. I'm like, this is, must've been a really conscious choice to make sure that nothing will date this. And then all of a sudden flip phone.

Which I actually think that they had him have a flip phone, which was at that time a really old thing to have because they were like, well, Nick would have like a really old phone. Yeah. But then that's right. He had a really good picture. Like, I don't know why he was like watching soccer or something. I don't know. Yeah. Football. Somehow the picture was just clear as like as if you were watching like a football

a high quality that's true it's dated futuristic technology yeah it was uh it was probably um done in post so it looked really good and we can see very i know for a fact that jake i well i don't want to say fact i do believe jake had a flip phone he did yeah yeah he did he he's he's not a tech guy no oh fun story about jake so on the iphone there is a maybe a couple uh

stories about how technologically advanced he is. So on the iPhone, there's a button to put your phone to sleep. When I turn the screen off, you just hit the side button.

Right. You just hit that little button. I think people who have iPhones know to click that button. It turns the phone. Most, most smartphones are probably all smartphones have a button that when you want the screen to go dark, you just press it. When we were filming, we were sitting on the couch, obviously Jake's favorite place. And I remember him, he kept turning his phone in between takes, he'd text and then he would turn his phone upside down and put it under a pillow. And he kept doing, I was like, why do you keep turning your phone upside down? And he was like,

They took all this time to light the set. I don't want to have a stupid light shining up. I said, what do you mean? He goes, the phone, the light from the phone. I don't want it to be shining. He's like, come on. And I said, Jake, put the phone to sleep. He's like, what does that mean? I was like, just hit that button. And he goes, what, what button? I said, the button on the phone. And he hits the button. It was like,

oh, how am I supposed to know that? But you get a phone, don't you press the buttons? Did you just think it was just there for show? He had no idea. We could do a whole episode dedicated to Jake Johnson and his lack of awareness around certain technological things, especially with his phone. He told me his phone didn't have Wi-Fi when he had the latest iPhone. And that's why he couldn't use it on the soundstage. And I was like,

Let's delicately walk through how. I didn't get the Wi-Fi plan. Why? That's right. It doesn't have Wi-Fi. I was like, honey, honey, no. Yeah. Honey, Linda, Linda, Linda. It all falls into the old man. Yes. Like he's an old man living in a young man's body. Oh, yeah. I want to say he had done a movie where he was a drunk drunk.

And ceremony, I believe it was, he was like drunk at a wedding. And a lot of folks talked about how funny drunk Jake is. Great movie.

Yes. Max Winkler directed that. Yeah, I haven't seen it. But I will watch it. So good. I will watch it when it hits theaters. I'll watch it when the world opens back up. It hit theaters about 10 years ago. It's coming out. My bad. That's on me. That is on me. But Jake being drunk, Jake.

And wild Jake and excited. Anytime there's a moment where he has to go crazy, I think it's really, really funny. And when you break the TV, his stressing over the television was so funny.

I have to say, I can't keep track of how many times all you guys made me laugh in this episode. I was like, oh my God. And I laughed out loud. But yeah, Jake made me laugh. The thumb ring... The slap? Max and the thumb ring made me laugh so hard. You...

and you're like hilarious playing it cool like no no that top song that made me laugh so hard and Hannah when you're like your hand is on my leg and he's like your hand's on my leg and you're like no

No, it's not. So good. Amazing delivery. And then everybody, you know, standing down. Is that what you call it? Standing down. I don't know. I'm making stuff up. Standing down? Is that what I think? You mean the stare down? When we're all staring down. The stare down. Yes. Ian, who plays Spencer. Ian, very funny guy. So funny. Very funny guy.

Everyone staring him down, coming in, supporting Jazz. Just a really fun, hilarious scene. There were a lot of things that made me laugh with all you guys did. Is it true that there was so much chemistry involved?

Between you and Jake in the beginning that you guys couldn't be in the same shot together because it was just bleeding through. I remember them saying that, that they were like, listen, you guys have such good chemistry that this is a series. We have to play this out over time. And we don't want to put you guys in the same storylines together because we're worried that people... I was like, what are you...

What? Isn't that like a good thing? I think we all had good chemistry together, like from the get go, you know, in different ways. But...

Yeah, they did say they wanted to play out that storyline, that our chemistry was really good. I just want to make a quick thing because I'm going to probably do it leading up to certain things. We didn't know anything about Winston. And this is the first time I realized Liz was a psycho in a good way. In a good way. My character owning up to Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams on his pregame mix.

That that's the first clue to, oh, okay. There's something off about this guy. And in each episode, you'll find a little thing that, that will tell the tale of what Winston will ultimately end up becoming. And I didn't realize it in the moment.

I didn't realize it until much, much later. I kept thinking back going, wait, there were breadcrumbs leading to this. It wasn't just the thing that just happened. It was trying things and the weird obviously stuck around. You know what's interesting too, though, is I was thinking about that in episode two. They did plant the seeds for little things that became these then really known and loved character traits, like your weirdness. But they also had Max...

I shouldn't even say that because I bet you they didn't have Max. Max probably chose to do this and they went, that's great. Keep it. Or he said, found a Kate. Yeah. And I'm sure he was just supposed to say fornicate. Yep. And he said it in a weird way and it stuck and it became one of those like Schmidt isms that stuck around. Yeah. And, and I will say actually that what happened Schmidt happened. Yeah.

That was actually sort of a spinoff from one. I'm pretty sure. Correct me, guys, if you remember differently. But I'm pretty sure that David Neer had improvised like Schmidt happens or that Max had improvised Schmidt happens in the first in the pilot. I can't remember. We'll have to ask around and see what other people remember. But I remember there being

an improvisation like which David near every time you know in the in that pilot every time they would do a different take he would improvise some other thing based on on Schmidt and he said I'm pretty sure he said Schmidt happens or that Max said it and that it got written into that next episode and

Even though it didn't make that pilot episode. At the end when he says, you got some Schmidt on your face, because we were just tossing stuff out. I feel like I pitched that joke. I believe that. I feel like I did. I'm not a thousand percent, but I remember thinking that and tossing out a bunch of jokes. I want to say that was, I tossed that one out.

Take the credit. No one remembers. I wrote this episode. You are the only cast member that wrote an episode and directed an episode. Oh. Yeah. Take that, Emmys. All right, guys. We're going to take a little break now and sell some things that Lamorne uses. All right.

It's going to be a tampon commercial. I know it. I know it. I would take a lifetime supply of tampons. That's fine. It's useful. So a little trivia before we go to our break. And hopefully when we come back, someone will have an answer. Maybe we'll leave this up to the fans. But one of us, one of the characters from New Girl was actually in a tampon commercial. When we come back.

to our show okay and we're back from the break welcome back to our show the Zoe, Lamorne and Hannah show that's yet to be named so Lamorne dropped a little piece of trivia before we went to break and I'd love to hear the answer okay which one of the new girl characters was in a tampon commercial and the answer is of course Jake Johnson

Jake Johnson. I had no idea. Yeah. He played the before guy. Yes. I remember him telling. Before he had his period? So it's like this, the girl in the commercial has, it's like her life before she has these new tampons or is it pads or something? I don't know. It's her life before and her life after. Her life before like sucks. Her life before or her life after is great. Yeah.

And the guy in the before is Jake Johnson. And I feel like they were really mean to him while they were shooting it too, right? Do you remember that part? They were like super mean to him. He had to eat with background. He couldn't eat. They didn't give him a trailer. It just says, wait in your car. They gave him a food voucher to eat food.

What? Give him a Starbucks coupon. They didn't see him as becoming a huge star of screen and screen. Wow. That he is now. Earn your dues, man. You got to earn your dues. Yeah. Okay, so we have a little game to play before we go. Cheer on

It's called True American, where the words change weekly and you leave more confused than when you showed up. This week we are going to play a game called Choose Your Fighter. Um,

In today's episode, Nick tells Jess that Spencer is her kryptonite. He is, of course, referring to the glowing green rock that steals Superman's powers. So today, we're going to decide which superhero, stripped of their powers, would win in a fight. And you guys are going to tell us who won in a social media poll. Okay. Ooh.

So we're just picking superheroes. Okay, so we're stripping them of their powers. So just like in a fist fight? Like a bare knuckle fight? They become regular. Well, so I feel like Batman doesn't really have powers, so I feel like he would win. He has that guy that builds stuff for him, right? He's got all this cool stuff. And those aren't superpowers, right? Just gadgets. He's Inspector Gadget. He's got so many gadgets. Superman, I feel like he's

probably like ripped right but or does that only happen once he puts the suit on is that just the suit yeah is he hiding it as clark kent or as clark kent like no he clark kent's not the the before jake johnson clark kent is he's superman he's superman so he's got brawn batman has gadgets um

I don't know any others. I'm going to go outside the box of thinking of what a superhero is. Like way outside the box. Okay. Don't say Neil deGrasse Tyson. Don't say Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Okay, go. My mom. No. She's my superhero. Oh, God. Just stick with me for one second. No.

You really hate the baby voice. He genuinely gets creeped out. It's like a weird phobia of yours. So here's my pitch. Why do you hate babies, Lamar? I don't hate babies. Why do you hate babies? Grown-ups sound like babies. Rondo, Rondo, Rondo. We did the whole podcast like this. Rondo, Rondo, Rondo. Oh, that's Gollum. Yeah.

oh my puzzle yeah i can't handle it you guys like everybody out there if you're casting the new golem i can do it if like anybody falls out um okay this is my very outside the box but stick with me okay any of the care bears

Because when you... I know they're not technically... Well, they have all these weird powers, but even if you strip them, they're a bear. Yeah, but they're like a stuffed bear that's like lavender. That's kind.

And their superpower is kindness. You would have to change their nature. That's true. I mean, you're making Superman get into a fist fight. Maybe they would. I mean, it's a brawling bear. I'm just putting it out there. I mean, I love the Care Bears, but I love them too. And what I will say, Zoe, you're Batman. Yeah.

Because Batman, is his intelligence his superpower? I think so. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. He becomes a superhero because he has the grit to do so. So are you taking away his intelligence? And he's just a rich dude? Oh, no, no, no, no. He has the intelligence. I don't think that's a superpower, though. I think his superpower is that he wants a superpower so bad that he has...

Like with his resources, his intelligence and his money and all that, he set it up so that he... I don't even watch Batman movies, by the way. What? I haven't seen a Batman movie since I was a child. What?

Yeah, no, but seriously, he is the best superhero. I seem to know a lot about him having. You seem to be leading this conversation as an expert. I don't like watch superhero movies. You know who's definitely losing the fight?

Spider-Man. Oh, yeah. He's a little boy. What are you going to do? He's a boy. He's a boy? We love you, Tom Holland, but you'd get beat up. He in a full Spanx outfit. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Just walking around and he can barely see. Well, because the problem is the first time he would test his superpowers, he would go in a building, he would jump off and realize he doesn't have superpowers. There's no more Spider-Man. Yeah. And the last superhero movies I saw, which was actually fantastic, was that Into the Spider-Verse.

Fantastic movie that Jake Johnson is, does a voice in. While sitting on a couch. Exactly. Having a drink. And literally everyone becomes Spider-Man in that movie. Like, I mean, they have like 12 different Spider-Men. Porky Pig Spider-Man. Right. So if you strip those away, none of them have like,

Really what it takes to be to be Batman in a fight. That's for sure. Well, I'll challenge you to this one. OK, challenge. So my favorite movie of all time is The Matrix. OK. Keanu Reeves. That's a great movie. It's the best. But you could say that Keanu Reeves is a superhero in this movie. Right now, when you strip his superpowers away.

you know, his ability to bend time and matter and create things out of his brain, whatever the matrix allows, whatever the program allows, he just becomes a regular old dude. But what we know is that when Keanu Reeves is a regular old dude, he's John Wick. John Wick is badass. So I don't know. So what we're saying or what you're proposing is that Keanu Reeves just wins? Yeah.

Yeah, it's Keanu Reeves as a superhero. It's just him. Okay, can I just say, I agree with you. Keanu Reeves wins. He was on a plane that I was on once and he seemed very nice and normal. It was not a private plane. Stop making me into this. I go on normal planes just like everybody else. But Keanu Reeves seems really nice.

And I support him. I put my money on Keanu against Batman. Okay, so Keanu, Batman...

We're going to leave it there. We're going to leave this up to the audience. If you have any other ideas, who do you think the best superheroes would be? Keanu versus Batman. Keanu versus Batman. Who would win? It's been coming. That fight's been coming. Please send your answers to all of us on Twitter. I think Keanu's going to take it. I'm going to throw one out there and then I'm just going to leave it at that. I'm just going to throw one. Blade.

Wesley Snipes even though he wasn't even he's half vampire but he could still that sword action that's not a superpower that's a skill

Okay. He's got a weapon. If Keanu's fighting him, does Keanu get a sword too? Oh, yeah. Damn. Because he beat up the entire Yakuza by himself. I don't know. That's hard. All right, everybody. Guys, Blade or Keanu? What did you say? I said, what about built-in defense? Like, if you think about Iron Man. Okay, strip the powers, but he's still just in that suit.

Does he get the suit? Is the suit the superpower? I don't know. Like Spider-Man would have been in that suit, right? He just couldn't do anything. The suit that Spider-Man wears is literally like a wetsuit, right? He's got buoyancy to it. With muscles. Built in. Yeah. Michael Phelps.

Well, we got to throw Iron Man in there and then we'll leave the rest of the audience. All right. You let us know. Hey, guys. Thank you guys so much for listening. I hope you enjoyed our show.
