Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was like working with you guys. Welcome to our show. Welcome to our show.

I'm gonna start the show and say that "La Morne"

Just had a birthday and he's drinking espresso out of a tiny, like very fancy cup. Tell us about that, Lamar. Well, you can get this tiny little cup at the Welcome to Our Show merch store. Ooh, with the plug. Oh, my goodness. Oh, yeah. You know what? We should mention that we have a merch store now. And it's like, I'm...

Look, guys, I don't feel this is coming from a biased place, but I am so excited about this merch. I think it's some of the most fun merch with like the most fun designs like ever. And I'm really excited about it. It's Nike wanted to take over because they realized how good quality of, you know, of of merch that we had. But we were like, no, Nike, no, we're going at this.

this alone. Where can we find the merch? Everyone's just talking about it. It's all linked in all of our on our bios, I think. You can go to our Instagram accounts and just go to our bios and you can check out all the cool merch and tag us in it. Tag us in it. I like to see it in the world. I like to see it in the world. Especially Hannah loves to put that on her stories. I do. I do. It makes me really happy. It also like it's stuff I don't necessarily look for. So when you find the good stuff and you share it, I'm like, aww.

So thanks for that, Hannah. That was the same for like a bunch of reviews for this podcast came up. And it was just so wonderful to know how many people are really enjoying this show. Makes me happy. Thank you.

Thanks, guys. Thanks for letting us know. I got distracted for a second because I just looked down at my notes I took last night when I rewatched Normal, which is the episode we're doing today. And in all caps, this is what just distracted me, says, um, WTF, your ball's in a shake. Whoa. Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get to that later. That feels like a thing that

I like I need to know like this seems like all the guys keep saying it's a guy thing but I'm like that can't be a thing it's a if you got balls thing then you do it it's a so guys girls it doesn't matter if you get balls you do it all right let's jump right in normal normal you know what's crazy also too four more episodes and we're done our first season

crazy incredible our first whole season will have been rewatched I know oh boy okay I know I feel like I blinked bam this podcast almost has done a whole season of New Girl alright episode 120 Normal

Let's go. Let's go. Guys, there are so many funny things in this episode that I totally forgot about. Directed by Jesse Peretz. Yes.

who's an old friend of mine and he is a great director. He made an awesome movie called The Chateau years ago with Paul Rudd and Romney Malco and it's so funny. Have I talked about this before? You've talked about it on the podcast before but guess what? I just love that movie. I went to look for it and I can't find it to watch it. What?

Do you have a copy? Can I borrow it? I probably do somewhere. Yeah, on DVD. Zoe, how about this? Zoe, how about this? You upload a copy to your Instagram page and all the fans out there can go and watch it for free right now. I don't want to be pirating. You're going to send Joey to jail. I don't want to be, you know, I don't want to be, I don't want, this is not how I want to go down. I'm sorry. You're right. You're right.

So Jessica Perrette directed in Love, Raquel, our beloved love. Love, love. Love, love. Love, love. Love, love wrote it. Such a funny episode. And it kicks off at a political fundraiser where just as that questionable sexy talk again.

Yeah, and I had to skip it because I feel really embarrassed. It's like watching my parents or something. You know what I mean? If you see your parents smooch or something when you're a kid and you're like, ew, that's what I feel if I have to watch myself do some kind of sexy talk thing on TV. I'm like, ah, ah.

So I'm sorry I fast forwarded that part. You guys can talk about it. I forgot so much of this episode, so it was really fun to watch again. So I was kind of bracing myself too, because it's strange when we watch each other do those kinds of things. But then when you were like, I'm wearing your boxer brief. What a weird thing to say. The whole episode's called normal and it kicks off. And Min's undies are comfy. I kind of get it.

Yeah, but how bunchy is that under a, you know? That's right. Maybe that's why you wear the skirts that have a little more, you know. Voluminous skirts. It makes room for some boxer shorts. Your boyfriend shorts. Fun fact to the fans out there. Ladies, if you come to my place and you're thinking you're going to leave with a pair of boxers, surprise, I don't wear boxers. So you will leave with nothing. That's it. That's a fun fact out there. Wait, what? I don't wear underwear, so I don't have any.

You wait, you just share. That's a that's an intimate fact. I don't own any. I don't believe in them. You know, quite frankly, I don't believe it. Are you hurting your first society? Okay. Constricting us. Just a free man out there in the world. Freeman Freeman Freeman. It just feels like maybe like like some materials in pants might be a little chafee.

I'm not going to lie to you. It's been rough. It's been a rough 39 years. Literally. I was like some like raw salvaged denim jeans. Feels like it might be a little chafey on the equipment. Yeah, but I sold you on. I sold you on. You're sick into it. Russell in this episode goes to Jess's place for the first time to stay over.

That feels like. Can you mark that for a second, Hannah? Yeah. I want to go right before that. It was right before that. Yeah, yeah. There was a scene with you and Schmidt. We're all in the loft. And then Jess is looking for Cece. And then you come out of Schmidt's room. And she says, I'm not used to this yet. Schmidt goes on this rant about all the things you guys just did in that room. Cut to the next scene. Jess is laying on the bed.

I just thought, this is disgusting. But also what's weird is that Cece never gets dressed. Like the next scene, she's still just wearing a sheet. Yes. Yeah, no, I'm naked under the blankets. And we're in, I remember this part of that scene, though, really clearly. Because, you know, we get to pick how we're going to kind of be positioned or where in the room in the scene. And I thought it was just really sweet to do that scene.

almost like 1980s movie teenage girl kind of pose, right? When you're like lying on your stomach on your bed, your feet are kicked up, kicking back and forth. It's easy to cover. Yeah, it was. I remember that because it was really quick. Yeah, it was really easy to shoot. But it was also just like a sweet moment where you could kind of see like the girl's friendship and

You could kind of see them as like teenagers like doing that. I remember picking that intentionally with you because we could have just sat up and had the conversation too. Yeah.

No, I like that. It was very sweet, that part. And also disgusting when you think about what Lamar just said. Yeah, the filth. I didn't think about it like that. I was like, oh, it's so sweet. Maybe they changed the sheets before. Yeah, just do a quick change. Maybe. They totally did. They totally changed the sheets, guys. That is the character. That is Schmidt's personality type. He would change the sheets immediately. He would change the sheets. I didn't even notice that because I was so caught up in the girlfriend-ness of the whole thing.

Okay, so you're at... So Russell comes to the loft. Yeah, the loft for the first time. And Jess says, you know, to her roommates, guys, just act normal. Yeah.

And they all act weird in different ways. Yeah, define normal is a very important part of this episode. She's like, I don't feel like... My normal's not your normal. Well, and the thing is that first she's like...

be cool. And then she's like, I don't trust that our definition of cool is the same, but also the definition of normal is clearly not the same. Nick is like obsessed with Russell, wants to share his idea book. Schmidt is incredibly competitive with Russell. And I do feel like Winston is like more normal. He's just kind of caught up in his,

his work stuff. He's also convinced that he's just a rich white man, which means he's probably a little racist. Oh yeah. That's what he's focused on. Are you? That's what I noticed in this episode. A lot about Winston is that he just, he doesn't, he doesn't like rich old white dudes in this episode. He's suspicious. His boss. And then also,

And his Russell's pretty nice, but his boss is pretty. Yeah. He's like a lot of questionable moves. Oh, absolutely. Let's just say that. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. What was it like to work? So you got to work with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. So let me just say this. So if anyone knows me, they know I'm a huge basketball fan. And Kareem was.

to me, like Prince was to everyone else. I love Prince being on the show and I was, you know, and I'm still, I still think about it all the time. But Kareem was my, he was, that was Prince to me. He was the guy though. Like, he's the guy. Like when we were kids, he was the, he was like the guy. I'm not even a basketball person and it was like,

Like, he's a god. He's a god. He is. And he's so tall. So, you know... He's so tall. You looked like a little boy in that scene. It was very sweet. Well, because he's so big. So it's like... But a super manly little boy. So I'll put it to you like this. Super, super manly little boy. For all the fans... Truly a little boy. And I still feel that way. The... To all the fans out there who don't know who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is, he's the...

In basketball, he's the all-time leading scorer, which is 38,000, over 38,000 points, 38,387 points to be exact. But his unstoppable shot was the sky hook, right? It was this shot that he would just toss the ball over his head, and you couldn't, until this day, it's the most unstoppable shot in NBA history. In this episode, he takes a paper ball

Over the little, what do you call it? The cubicle partition. Cubicle. The cubicle partition. Yes. And he does a sky hook over it and it hits me right in the head. He was nailing that every single time. He kept hitting me in the head every single time. And I thought, that accuracy on this man. He must have like exceptional like...

like, hand-eye coordination. Absolutely. Because he can do it with, like, you know, big, massive dudes running at him, grabbing on him, and he can still make that shot. So do you remember, like, when you found out it was going to be him and he was really coming and the moment you met him? Yeah. Well, you know, New Girl was one of my...

New Girl is obviously the first time I'm acting, really, in this capacity. And you see all these cool guest stars that we get, especially in the first season, we got a lot of cool folks that came on. This one, to me, blew my mind. So in shock. But even after he had left, even after he'd gone, I still, till this day, am still kind of blank about it. Because I never fully... I was just recently in Ohio.

Dave Chappelle has this thing called Summer Camp and we were there and Kareem was there. I didn't get invited. That sounds fun. Hannah and I want to come. You guys can come to the next one. It's a family affair. You can bring the families. That sounds like so much fun. But Kareem was there. Oh, Kareem was at Reunited Camp. I was so nervous to go talk to him.

even though we had worked together, it had been so long. And I start, and I walk up and I start having this conversation with him. And he, the look he gives me is kind of like,

I don't remember what you're talking about, but nice to meet you. I was just like... He blanked it out too. I was like, all right. Because, you know, he was nervous to meet me too, I'm sure. Yeah. Well, he was so nervous that he forgot. Yeah. I just remember you guys do a handshake and you like hold onto his hands for a very long time in that scene. Yes. And I was like, is this acting? Or were you just like...

I need just another moment of just touching. I wanted to grab him and embrace him and then roll my body up into his. So I can little spoon. I can be little spoon. Get it, teaspoon. I wanted to do that. Aw. Yeah, huge moment. Huge guest star in this show. I mean, it was incredible. Oh, my God. So I got to meet him. And I looked like a little doll next to him. Yeah.

Okay, so you had also Phil Hendry played your boss, Joe Napoli. If you guys don't know who he is, he's like a radio legend. Oh, yeah. And his voice is absolutely incredible. And the guy couldn't be nicer. But for him to play this character, he's such a a-hole. I'm like, that to me is the true test of a really good actor because I hated him.

In those scenes. And after each take, he would just tell jokes and tell old stories and do voices and stuff like that. The guy is incredible. He does. So there, I can't remember what station it was on, but they, they, I used to listen to his show all the time and he would do, I like five different characters that were so different.

I mean, it doesn't sound like a character. It sounds like a real person. He'd do all the people calling in and he'd interrupt himself. It was like, and it's funny because he does the thing where he does your voice and it's like nowhere near what he does on his show. Like he'd interrupt himself. Oh yeah. In such an accurate way. He'd have like, I never saw him do it live, but he'd have like two different microphones so that they could like play him.

But anyway, let's talk about what he's when he is mimicking or mocking Winston. He's mocking the fact that Winston used to be this basketball player. So here we are, you know, for the folks out there keeping tally. This is another job that Winston. So in this episode, we realize Winston's trying to quit the nannying job to become a radio host potentially. And he has to work his way up. So, so far we have radio host Winston.

Nannying job. Usher. Basketball player. Usher. Basketball player. I forget what else we have, but if you're keeping... It's only season one, folks. I know. I know. You're trying to... You're a jack of all trades. You're just trying to... Trying stuff out. Trying it all out. Well, but here, I think it does emphasize something about being an athlete that is one of these tough things that...

To be, like, say, in the NBA, like, you have to be the top, top, top, like, 0.1% of all basketball players. Yes. And you could be the best in your school. You could be, like, the best kid on your team from, you know, like, from elementary school. And you could be, like, everyone could think you're phenomenal. And then you go and try to become a professional and you're...

Everyone says you suck. And it must be so hard to go from being the greatest, but to be at a professional level of playing sports is just such an incredible feat in itself. But once you get there, if you're not the best player, people will really not be nice. Yeah, and you have to put it in perspective as well.

you know, for fans, we only see the end result. We only see, oh, you tried to make it to the NBA. It didn't work out. Yeah. Oh, you must not be good, but you don't, you try to, if I played with a person who, who gets cut from the NBA or any professional sport,

Someone who gets cut, they will destroy me and they'll make such quick work out of me. It'll be so embarrassing. That's how good professionals are. That the people who don't make it make you look like...

you know, a kid. Speaking of professionals, I caught Max in an unprofessional moment in this episode and it makes me laugh because I feel like maybe some like real fans of this show now can tell, but we all for sure can tell when someone actually breaks, when they're actually laughing and when it makes it to the show, that means they were zero takes that someone got through. Yeah.

without breaking which also makes me laugh and it's when max is at the table i know the part and he you know you know what i'm going to say when he goes oh baby russell wants an avocado whoa he has to say it and he literally he says avocado he goes widow wessel wants an avocado whoa and you see max just fully broken

laughing through it and it's one of my favorite moments they don't often like make the show but when they do it's my favorite because i just know that means he couldn't or whoever it is could not get through one take oh yeah i love that so much because it makes it so much funnier

Yeah, I actually loved all the roles that everybody was playing with Russell in this episode. And the fact, I was like, what a Schmidt perfect thing to kind of hone in on that he somehow thinks he can compete with Russell, who clearly is much more established in the world. But that Schmidt has this kind of very healthy ego and that he's being so mean to him.

The label check moment also got me. It was so funny trying to do this like quick, what are you wearing moment is just so funny. I love it so much. And also it's, you don't think of,

You would think in a comedy of like playing on that trope of women caring about what label you're wearing and to see Schmidt so committed to finding out. It's so fight the wrestling that man to the ground. Also, the big thing about this episode, sorry, Lamorne. No, no, go ahead. The big thing about this episode, I feel like everybody's always talked to me about is it feel it's the first time you hear some sort of explanation of

of what true american is and the rules which is i think what kick-started this whole thing of there must be a way to play it because there's this episode where we get some sense yeah that there is structure to it yeah um

And listening to the explanation and how the explanation devolves, the more they drink is really funny too. Because it makes no sense even when you explain it. Absolutely no sense. Yeah. 90% drinking with a loose candy land structure. What is that? What are you talking about?

There's little things I guess you could build it around, right? Like the Kentucky whiskey is the king of the castle. The floor is lava, right? There's four zones, right?

A Trail of Chairs. Like, I can see now re-watching the episode. You could start to pull things out. But it's forensic. It's forensic. At best. That's right. It's a Law & Order episode. Yeah, it is the Law & Order episode. But I'm glad that people, you know, are out there getting, you know,

Getting pleasure from playing true American. Yes. But you gotta do it. I will say this, guys. You gotta do it safely. The stories that I'm hearing back from you guys is just ridiculous and you can't be out here playing true American. That's the part that's scary is you watch the pile of cans that start to happen and you go like...

I feel like someone's about to be hospitalized if this is an accurate reflection of how much alcohol is being consumed. Well, you have to fill a certain amount of space, like, from a, like, you know, set decoration perspective. And maybe not thinking, like, these people have really...

gone into alcohol poisoning territory. I hope the folks out there haven't. But here's what we do want. We do want to hear your experiences. So you can send us voicemails of all of your true American experiences. The good, the bad. Oh, yeah. The ugly. Oh, the ugly. I really want to hear about the ugly. The good bad, the really bad.

The really, really bad. Yes. Or the rules you use. I would love to know how you've actually made this into a game and the rules you have fashioned. Exactly. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. From your forensic investigation of Two Americans. Yeah, exactly. We want to hear you explain it. And I was going to say, it's kind of like how there are a million types of poker, you know? Mm-hmm. How?

There can be a million types of true American, right? Yeah. So send us like a voicemail. Send it in of your true American experience, the rules you use, the craziest stories at welcome to our show podcast at gmail.com. And we can play them on the show. And we're going to take a break. Yes. We'll be back after these messages.

We will get into the real apps of it all. A.K.A. iced tea. Yes, exactly. We're heavily caffeinated. Oh, 100%. Truly, iced tea. Sometimes coffee. Sometimes I would ask for coffee depending on how late the day got. So the bottle of Jack Daniels, it's called Jake Danzel's.

No, it was not. Yes. Jake Denzel. I remember paying attention to it one day going, what? Jake Denzel? Yeah. Wait, we used to laugh so much about the fake alcohol. Heisler. For a

Yeah, Heisler. And then there was another one I can't remember. For props, you can't use the real thing unless you pay for it. So they have all these prop brands that are fake. And Jake Denzel's was probably my favorite. Oh, yeah. Because Jake Johnson was like, oh, man, I just had so much Jake Denzel's. Yeah.

So I'm just obliterated on Jake Denzel's. So they're at this table and they're all having this conversation. They're trying to bro up to Russell after the wild true American drinking game. CeCe comes home, pulls Schmidt into the disgusting room that they hang out in. And

and Russell she doesn't really pull them that's what I love about their dynamic sometimes she's just like I'm gonna go get in your bed and he's like yeah I'm out see you later that's a pull that's a pull may as well be a physical role a psychic pull yes I'm going this way but we see the beginnings of an argument or a disagreement for the first time between Jess and Russell and

Yeah. I mean, what's interesting, too, is it brings up a big I think a big conversation point in this episode. And I think it's a life thing, too, which is Cece gives the advice that it's very healthy for you to fight in relationships. It's healthy to have a fight. What do we think of this advice?

I think it's true because not that not fight, but like if where you have disagreements like that, that's what brings people closer together. Now, now it's how you fight, not not that you are having an argument. You have to be respectful when you're having an argument. Otherwise, that can be damaging if you're exactly if you're if you're, you know, you know,

fighting dirty or something, you know, you know, call it name calling all that not nice stuff that, you know, that can cause problems. But I think if you have a disagreement, it's totally normal and totally healthy to work it out in a mature way. So I think she's right enough for sure to express how you really feel, even if you know the other person doesn't feel the same way.

Yeah. That can be a disagreement and it should be OK. Otherwise, it's just like suppress, repress, and then it'll come out in other ways. That's my thought. I thought this was great advice from Cece to Jess. Yeah. Anybody knows me knows that I don't argue, so I can't really chime in on this. I'm such a mild mannered. You you are, though. Yeah. One of my relationships and I do something messed up.

and they want to scream and they want to yell I just give them the bow you know what I mean and I just kind of slowly back my way out of their lives forever you are really like nice I mean you're like you're not like a little mouse but you are pretty nice pretty nice well you know there are going to be some angry women out there that are going to disagree send us emails angry women play the tapes

Oh my gosh. One of my favorite moments of this episode is like Elvin...

doing you a solid. I mean, in a way that could have sent you like to jail forever. For sure. For sure. That was, yeah. A little too much. He loved you too much. But it was like the idea of a friend seeing what was best for you and then making the hard decision for you. That essence of it was incredibly sweet. So it'd be like, there's no safety net anymore. You got to go. Exactly. He could have, I mean, he could have chose, he could have literally just said, no, seriously,

I've outgrown this relationship too. You should go. And it would have made Winston feel like, you know what, maybe you're right. But instead he like threatened him with like prison. That's right. Yeah. That's, that's, I don't know. We were bordering on that one. Or at least getting destroyed on a, on a nanny board. Yeah, for sure. Which probably still is. All your nanny prospects just got completely wiped out. Yeah. Absolutely.

But the cool thing I liked about the Elvin and Winston dynamic is that Elvin was kind of like, even though it's like this is the job for Winston, Elvin is such a kid, but he's so smart and he's so elevated that it felt like the roles were actually reversed. And in their conversations, and you'll see in later episodes as well,

In their relationship, Elvin is always the one teaching Winston something, you know? And even in a moment like this, he's doing it again. And that's what I loved about the dynamic. It wasn't just a typical, you know, you're a kid doing stupid stuff. It's like, no, Winston, you're an adult doing stupid stuff, and this kid is the one who has to check you out. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

He's precocious, that Alvin. 100%. 100%. I like him. But he sends him back to his job, which we were talking about this earlier. Is this something that folks do? Joe Napoli is such a D-head to everyone who works for him that the advice that Russell gives Winston is to dip his huevos into his milkshake.

That's so disgusting to me. I can't believe Russell did that. Suggested that. The part that was hard for me to process is it seems just as much of a punishment to who's doing the dipping. Oh!

as the person that has to drink the dipped. And I'm like, you put in some cold weed. It's a sensory experience, maybe. It just feels like a weird, there's a million things you could put in there to ruin someone's day. But it sounds like you're going to ruin your day. First. First, I don't understand. That's the part where I was like, as a woman, I do not understand doing that to yourself.

It's very sticky. That's right. Well, it's not that hard. It's not that hard. In my previous, again, anyone who knows me, they know that there's a process to it.

um i like to i like to fully strip down completely i had to hang my clothes up did you go full method for this bit on the show like you wanted to really experience it so you could sell the acting part okay all right tell us yeah well i called dallas dallas props guy shout out to dallas and i said dallas i said man i really want to go for it in the scene and so i said don't don't make sure the milkshake isn't cold

Right? Dallas, what a prankster. The milkshake was cold. And so it was a little difficult for me to do. So it was a very messy, sticky situation that I had to, you know, get out of in the middle of the scene. That 100% did not happen. No. Never happened. He's a good actor. When he said he, there was a possibility that you were like, wait, did he? Well, I want people to think that I did.

That's fun for me. Okay, you did it.

Send us your power play stories. If you've ever had to power play your boss, please send us the voicemails. We want to hear all about it. I remember people when I was growing up would be like, oh, I put their toothbrush in the toilet. Oh, gosh. Do you remember? It was so disgusting. It's such a gross thing. And I think it's like a kid bullying thing that I just remember people saying that they had done to someone. So I always used to keep my toothbrush in a top drawer in my bathroom.

I was like, if someone's trying to ruin my life, they can't find my toothbrush. You know, what you should do is hide your toothbrush in the back of the toilet and they'll never be able to find it.

That's what you should do, Hannah. Here's where I keep my toothbrush in the tank of the toilet. Joke's on them. Beat you to it. Never find it here. Okay, we have to talk about this fight between Max and Jake, Nick and Schmidt, because I was crying laughing. I completely forgot about this scene. Yeah, it's a really good scene. The realization of...

Relapse. Relapse. Relapse when they're pitching to...

To wrestle. Honestly, um, it put me on the floor. I thought it was so, so real. It's also just a Swiss army knife. That's bigger than a Swiss army knife. It's just on the back of your phone. My favorite part about that is them, is them sliding into when you, when you all are having your argument, them sliding into the kitchen to start pitching you. Pitching Russell. That was one of the funniest things I've seen. Um,

And Jake's, the differences between their characters, it makes so much sense. You know, Jake is this optimistic, like, idiot. And Schmidt's this idiot, you know, businessman. Yeah.

It was so funny to me. Yeah, it was so funny. Also just shows you the importance in business of timing and reading the room. There's a very hungover man in a fight with his girlfriend and they're like, you know what? This moment, this moment we're going to choose. Oh gosh, I completely had forgotten about it and I just thought it was one of the funniest things ever. Not going to lie to you though. Not going to lie to you though. I would buy that.

I totally would. I'm sure it exists. I'm sure it's out there. I've heard worse, for sure. I've heard worse names for products. For weird apps. There's two things that happened, though, in the Nick world of this episode that I didn't realize and I don't know we ever talk about for the rest of the series. One, he's one eighth Cherokee?

yeah what and then the other is that apparently he quotes aladdin's a whole new world all the time does he ever do it again in this series like i'm gonna try to pay attention and see if i catch it again so besides where's the bear you gotta find where's the aladdin quote also you guys i don't want to talk about where's the bear in this episode because um i can only find it on the fridge and it makes me mad

If I can only find it on the fridge. But I'll say this to our listeners, you have been incredible because when I really can't find it, I get DMs from these super sleuths who actually can find it in the episodes. So what I'm going to try to do then is kind of

make a master list of all of the episodes at the end of season one when we get to our 24th episode and list where all the bears are found. Some by me and a lot by the listeners of this podcast. So if you find one that's not on the fridge for this episode, tell me and I'm going to put it on this list and I'll drop it when we do our season finale. Oh, that's good. That's really good. I found the bear. I'm just not going to say anything.

Are you the one DMing me just using different accounts? Yes. Do you actually know where all the bears are? Yes. I am PiratesCody44. If that were true, if you had the time to sit around and create fake accounts to Catfish Hannah, I would love that. Frank Sinatra is real. Oh my gosh. I'm Kevin Durant. Frank Sinatra is real. Too big. Too big, Lamar. Too big. Too big.

Oh, my goodness. We're going to go to break. And when we come back, we will play a round of True American. True American.

Our brilliant producer, Joelle, put together yet another amazing round. This week, both Jess and Nick conveyed their feelings with Disney songs. We're going to guess the Disney movie based on obscure lyrics. Let's see. Okay. Here's the first one.

Now's your moment floating in a blue lagoon. Just because a lagoon, I'm going to say Little Mermaid. Yeah. Kiss the girl? Is it? You've got to kiss the girl. Sebastian sings it? Yeah, I love Sebastian. Fun fact about that, I had to sing that in men's choir.

Did you really? Oh my god, that's so cute. You were a little crabby? Yep, yep. That's cute. The crabbiest of crabs. Crabbiest of crabs. I love it. I actually, when you said that, it made sense, but I don't remember this lyric at all. And I thought, like, I know, that was like, that came out when I was like a kid. So like, that was like my movie. And I didn't know it. So I'm like, I know that soundtrack backwards and forwards. Oh, yeah.

Lamorne, you want to take the next one? Though my face leaves people screaming, there's a child behind it dreaming. No, Lamorne, read the next thing. Don't share something personal right now. Read the next lyric. Hannah, you better stop. You better stop, Hannah. Oh, is this like Quasimodo? Ooh. The Hunchback of Notre Dame? That's a good guess, but it is not. Beauty and the Beast. That was a good guess. Beauty and the Beast.

Also a good guess, but no. Is it Shrek? Shrek is not a Disney movie. It's not? Is it Wolverine? Is this Iron Man? My face leaves people screaming. There's a child behind it dreaming. This is a very aggressive lyric, you guys. Is this like a bad guy in a movie? Sort of.

villain oh it's got to be i don't know though my face leaves people's joelle give us a tune sing it uh sing it sing it joelle behind it dreaming

You have a very pretty voice, but I still don't know what song is this. Is it like old school Disney, new school Disney? It's newer. Oh, well, well, well, Moana.

No, I'll give it to you. It's Tangled, I've Got a Dream. It's the bar full of rap scallions singing about their inner childhood dreams. Love a rap scallion. Yeah, they're in the bar. Yeah, that's a good scene. I love that movie. I haven't seen that one yet. Your daughter will love it once she's like two or three. She's still on Cocomelon and Encanto.

oh well and kento is like amazing yeah she's still rocking out to those um okay uh hannah you want to do next bruno song in my head number three i know that love will lead us and find a way to guide me to you oh i know that love will lead us and find a way to guide me to you is this gonna be aladdin i was thinking aladdin too

It's not a Latin. It's not a carpet that could lead him somewhere. Similar era. That would be like Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, right? Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, that's that whole era. That's the good 90s era of Disney. But we're obviously not right. But we're obviously not right because we haven't validated it. It's not a major Disney princess movie.

Peter Pan Peter Pan is from like the 50s I think it's from the 90s and it's obscure like Little Mermaid 2 American Tail is American Tail Disney no but Essence oh yeah this is it involves a mouse this is not Disney does it involve a mouse

It does not involve a louse. I'll say it involves several breeds of dog. Hotel for dogs. Oliver and Company. All dogs. Oh, 101 damnations.

We are terrible at this, I'm going to say. All breeds of dogs. You're like 101 of the same breed. What does it say about us that we were able to identify the saddest songs of all time? That's right. And we cannot, for the life of us, identify basically any Disney lyrics. All dogs go to heaven. I'll give you the group within the movie that sings it. It's called Powerline, if that is at all helpful to you.

I don't think I've ever seen that. Oh, Lady and the Tramp. That's from the 50s or 60s. It's from a goofy movie. It's called Eye to Eye. It is a cult classic Disney movie. I've never heard of it. I've been here for 900 years and those words would never have fallen out of my mouth. But can I say on every weekend my kids and I go on Disney Plus and pick up Disney movies so I feel like

I thought when I first read that this was our True American this week that I was going to be good at this. And I am not. It's called a goofy movie? It's so good, guys. If you haven't seen it, though, fabulous movie. Okay, what's it called? Eye to Eye? It's called a goofy movie. The song is called Eye to Eye. Okay. All right, last one, Zoe.

All right. My heart has wings and I can fly. I'll touch every star in the sky. Well, now I'm scared. Oh, that's from Peter Pan, I think. Is this Hook? Oh, such a good guess. Same era. Very classic Disney. Disney's Reading Rainbow. Yes.

Also, don't watch Peter Pan because it's problematic. That's one I will not put on for my kids. Daffy Duck story. Mickey Mouse story.

Pluto story. No. A classic princess. I'll give you that. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping Beauty. It is Cinderella. Let's go. Let's go. I remember when they came out because I think Sleeping Beauty is 59. I think I looked at the chronological era because my favorite...

Disney movie color palettes are Alice in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty. And I was like, I think Alice in Wonderland's 55 and Sleeping Beauty's 59. And I was like, I love the color palette of the 50s. When was Cinderella? Do we know?

Cinderella was around maybe early 60s, maybe, I think, like 61, maybe something. It's really close, really close. But the color palette's different. 1950. Whoa, it's earlier. Oh, shoot, sorry, I'm wrong. Other way. Other way. Ten years before. Make sure you go out there and watch Alice's Wonderland Bakery. It's a great show for kids.

I happen to be on it. It's fine. So Disney Junior Plus or something. Can we talk about our Disney Junior Plus shows? Mira, Royal Detective. Yes. Great, great show that I'm on. I don't have one.

I don't have one. Should we do one together? I would definitely do one. Is it our next show? That's our next show. Yeah, that's our next show. It's on Disney Plus Junior. They're four minutes long. My kids were asking to download some Disney Plus Junior shows for the plane. Like we were going on a trip and they're like, I want this one. And I was like, great. And then I was like, okay, these are four minutes long. This is like not good.

I need 444 minutes long, please. Give me that episode, please. I need a lot more episodes. You're flying private. Just have the pilot. Okay, we're going to wrap this episode up. We're wrapping this episode up. I also love that this whole like the real episode of New Girl that we're watching today, Normal, was all about True American and how it made no sense.

and it's a game that's very difficult to play and then we played True American on the show today and we were terrible terrible terrible and asked for so many clues and helps and hints and just like in True American it made no sense well on that note

I love you guys. Love y'all. Love you. Can I just say one thing quick? Oh, yeah, of course. I thought what could be really fun is after we do our 24th episode rewatch episode. So we will have finished season one. We could all do. Have a glass of wine. Answer. Have a glass of wine and answer all the questions that have been sent in as voice memos to our email address. Maybe not all.

but a lot of them. A lot of them. We'll do as many as we can squeeze onto an episode. Yeah, that's a good idea. So any burning questions, especially about season one, send them in and we will spend an episode, Zoe, Lamorne, and I, answering them the best we can. Drinking lots of wine.

Yes. Absolutely. While wearing our Welcome to Our Show merch. Yes. And Russell's boxer shorts. All of us. That should be a merch item. We should think about that. Russell's boxer shorts. It'd be great. All right. Thanks, guys. Bye. See you next week. Bye. Love you guys. Bye. Bye.
