Hello, hello, hello, friends, and welcome to our show. I'm Zooey Deschanel. I'm also Hannah Simone, and I'm also Lamorne Morris. This is the show where we discuss New Girl and all things New Girl related. Sometimes we may have guests, sometimes we won't. Sometimes we'll just talk about pregnancy. Who knows? Yeah.

Are you pregnant? Yep. Are you pregnant, Lamar? I am with child right now, currently. At least that's what my belly is saying. But don't worry, I'll get rid of this soon. It's just a breakfast burrito. You guys, this episode, I just watched it and this is one of my favorites. Last time on New Girl. Episode 108, Bad in Bed.

Jess decides it's time to go all the way with Paul, but it's her first time since her big breakup and she's nervous about whether or not she can perform. We've all been there. Schmidt struggles with standing out as the only guy in an office filled with women.

We've all been there. Desperate to get ahead, Schmidt invited himself to his boss's baby shower, which is a big no-no. Never do that. Meanwhile, Jess and Cece shop for sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy lingerie, and she buys a black charcoal starfish number with way too many straps. She discovers Schmidt's porn folder and gets sucked into a black hole for five and a half hours. That is absolutely a big no-no. You never go through someone's porn folder. You never know what you're going to find.

Nick needs a haircut and he's way too afraid to go to a barbershop. He thinks about cutting his own hair. But a YouTube video that ended in a bloody geyser quickly changed his mind. So Winston invites him to a black barbershop. But Nick knows they'll make fun of him. He's absolutely correct. That's what we do at black barbershops. We make fun of people.

Eventually, Winston convinces Nick to go. And he receives a vanilla ice looking haircut and for some reason he absolutely loves it. Jess learned a lot from the porn and she came back with a lot of weird kinks. She tries an old timey news voice. Paul does Jimmy Stewart. This is not a great start. This is something you don't do. So the date ends poorly, obviously.

Meanwhile, Schmidt is the life of the party. He throws his pregnant boss into the pool and she loves being treated like a normal person. Schmidt gets laid that night and it's a total success for him. Success. Meanwhile, Paul comes back the following day and Jess apologizes for being scared. The episode ends with the two of them making love in an elevator. We've all been there. Now back to the show.

I think this is the one that I turned in for the Emmys that year. And they actually switched. Max Greenfield and I were nominated for Emmys this year. And that the first season and they switched our episodes. So actually they submitted my episode for Schmidt and Schmidt's episode for me.

And then they were like, oops, we made an error. And then they're like, we sent the other episodes and we swear everyone watched them. And I was like, please. Because I think the one they sent for like...

For me, it was like an episode that was like super Schmidt. Like it was all about Schmidt. Yeah, the beach stuff. I think it was the beach stuff. And I was like, that's not what I would have picked for like my Emmy turn, you know? Anyway, so that was fun fact. But I love this episode so much. And Jesse Peretz, a good friend of mine, directed this. He also directed a movie I did called Our Idiot Brother and many other episodes of New Girl. And I think, I don't know,

This was just, in my opinion, this was the episode where I feel like I kind of figured out the Jess beyond the like pilot Jess. Because there was like the pilot Jess and then Jess like kind of evolved. Yes. And pilot Jess was really like kind of extremely kooky kind of. And then I was...

I leaned into a different direction and this is where I kind of was settled on it. And so this episode feels very important to me. So it's such a standout episode. Josh Malmuth. Oh, Josh Malmuth is a total genius. Genius. That guy wrote this episode. Yeah. I think he helped a lot of people find their voice. Yeah. It's funny when I asked Liz, I remember Liz saying, I was like, who do you

do you think in the writers room writes Jess best and she was like Josh Malmuth I was like really and she's like oh yeah he's really good at Jess yeah Josh is awesome Josh the one thing I remember about Josh kind of like Berkeley is his long hair his long curly hair

Yeah. And he loves to surf. He does. He would get up at like five in the morning and drive all the way down to the ocean just to get his surf in. Guys, he had a jazz themed bar mitzvah. Which is like my favorite thing I've ever heard.

He's lovely. Oh, man. He's so talented. So talented. And he was there for the whole run of New Girl. Yeah. Whole run. He was like, he came on as a very young writer. Like, I think he had a couple other credits, but he was a young guy just really starting out and then was like a senior writer by the end. We got to talk to Josh.

Oh, yeah. Let's get him on the show. For Jesse Peretz, did you reach out to him since you asked him to come and direct? Yeah, I reached out to Jesse, Peyton, Miguel Arteta. Wow. Yeah, so Peyton Reed, Jesse Peretz, Miguel Arteta, and then probably some others. But the first season, we had a lot of my friends come and direct, a lot of people that I'd worked with before.

Which was very, very, I mean, these are all amazing directors. Easy to do because you did a hundred movies before you got a new girl. I know. It was like, I almost like retired from movies when I started doing New Girl because it was like, I was just so tired by the time we started. And I was kind of like, well, I've done that. But yeah, no, I had done a lot of movies because I started when I was pretty young. So, yeah.

Yeah, I had a, you know, I had a number of friends that were really talented directors and I could, you know, luckily reach out to them and see if they would come on and play. But it helped with the tone of this, right? I feel like with our show, because then it was like every episode felt like a mini movie because we had movie directors. Yeah. Coming in and doing the first season of New Girl a lot. And it's always important to have, it's important to have people you're familiar with directing as well. In TV, you switch up

You know, each week could be a different director. Usually. Over and over and over again. And it's hard to develop that rapport. Even though in TV, you know, you have this formula that you follow. But still, as the lead of a show, it's got to be comforting to know that the person who's giving you direction is someone you've worked with before. Yeah, because like a director. So even though a director in TV has kind of a different job than a director in TV,

like it's more all encompassing for a movie because they have to do all the prep and, you know, it's a lot of world building and they don't need to do that world building when they're coming on to direct, you know, an episode of TV, but it's,

I mean, any actor will tell you having a director that like jogs your imagination, that sparks something in you, that, you know, lets you play, lets you improvise, you know, gives you good ideas. That is the difference between, you know, a mediocre performance and a really good performance. So to me, having those people was such an amazing strength.

And I know in this episode, I can tell you spots where Jesse let us do weird stuff that wasn't in the script and it ended up, you know, working and ended up in the final cut. And it was, you know...

It really, you know, worked in our favor that we had, you know, a director that was doing, you know, kind of like letting us play. Yeah. He had this very kind of not maverick energy about him, but he had a very kind of like guerrilla style energy to him. And I, and I remember we spoke briefly and he said, I was asking him about where he lived and he was like, Oh, I live in New York.

And I just thought, I just, for some reason, I just thought, well, yeah, of course you just come here and shoot how you want to shoot. You live in New York in the big city, you fancy son of a bitch. I just remember him being so cool. I was like, oh, this dude is cool. He's cool. Did you ever see this movie that Jesse did? Maybe you guys have, maybe you haven't. It was a little movie that I love. It's called The Chateau starring Paul Rudd and Romney Malco. No. And they play brothers.

who go to France to collect a Chateau that was left to them in, you know, by some distant relative. It is such a funny movie. Everybody run. Don't walk. Watch this movie. Local video store. Here's my pitch. Why don't we ask Jesse to come on? Ask Jesse if he wants to do a remake of,

Where you and I can play adopted sisters? Yeah, well, Romney Malco and Paul Rudd are adopted siblings. There we go. And I'm the chateau. And you play the chateau. We think we're going to get a castle, but it's just you and your name is Chateau. The thing I love about that movie is that Romney Malco plays the super smooth guy and Paul Rudd plays...

the biggest nerd and I forgot the most important part is that it's all improvised like entirely improvised oh crap 100% improvised and guys watch it seriously it's so good Jesse we want to do a remake this is our official play I want to go to France I'll send in the tape I'll send in the tape as the Chateau yeah you're a great you make a great Chateau I'll send in the tape I'll send in the tape

I'm not, that's not beneath me. So let's, let's let's. Bad in bed. First of all, title already funny. Yes. Bad in bed. I thought we were talking a lot about the performance, your performance in this, which I thought was, was, was fantastic. It's so funny. Also hold up one second. Sorry. I don't mean to interrupt, but I just need to say this. So he, you looked incredible.

I just want to say you looked incredible because I know the feeling when it's like, and now all your clothes are off and be funny. They popped that on me very last minute. They're like, oh yeah, you're going to be in your underwear next episode. And I was like, yeah. I was a gentleman. I did not look. You watched this under the covers? Just like this with my hand over my eyes. I only looked at Justin Long's boy body.

And he just as long as shredded, though. Just as long as in shape. You guys look great together. He basically kept all of his clothes on, though, too. Like, he was like, I don't think I saw Justin Long's body, but you looked amazing. How long did it take to put that cage over your body? Starfish? It was confusing. I remember, so I remember we had like...

There's a lot about the costume. Also, my hair changed in this episode for the better because I think we decided on one hair and one set of glasses for the first however many episodes. And I was finally like, can we just do different hair? I wasn't that into the other hair. And then I was like, can we just have the glasses that are basically the glasses I wear? And we kind of changed around this time. But I remember with the costumes, we were like...

I was like, I just want to be wearing regular cotton underwear and then have the starfish thing over it, like to kind of have a contrast. But it was really hard to like find the head hole. Like it's not, it's not, it wasn't easy. Yeah.

But Deborah Maguire really knocked it out of the park, like coming up with this. Fun fact about that particular costume. That was directly from Deborah Maguire's personal collection. It was something she wears on a regular basis. That is not true. If y'all know Deborah, Deborah is a foxy lady.

That's true, but... It's a fun non-fact. It wasn't... She is a foxy lady, but it was not a part of her personal collection. That you know of. That I know of. Okay. That's what I imagine. Yeah.

So, okay. So the other storylines other than Bat in Bed, in Bat in Bed are Nick doesn't want to get a haircut. Yes. And so he goes to your barbershop. He goes to my barbershop. Now, this is funny. This is an interesting thing because I believe Jake pitched this idea. Oh, really? To Liz. Jake had told me when Jake and I first met, we were just kind of bonding over Chicago stuff and...

who we were and, you know, what we were into and childhoods and all those kinds of things. And Jake tells a story about his first time at a black barbershop. Now, I reached out to Jake and I said, "Hey, Jake, do I have permission to retell your story? Or you can send me a voice note and I'll play on the show." And Jake's response to me was very clear. He said,

You have every bit. He goes, his words were, you can do it yourself. I'm not going to jog your memory. You have to just tell the story the way you remember it. And then when I come on the show, I'll correct any inconsistencies. I'm going to get fact checked. It's a point of view, isn't it? Yes. So if you guys will allow me 60 seconds. You're allowed. To tell the story the way.

I remember. I wish we had a Jeopardy clock right now. Okay, go. So if you guys are familiar with this episode, Jake goes to a black barbershop. You see the reveal towards the middle of the episode and then at the end of the episode when he's in the black barbershop. For those who aren't familiar with how black barbershops operate, they're kind of like...

It's more than a barbershop. It's like therapy for black dudes, right? Because we don't believe in actual therapists. It's just something that has spanned our culture. We just, if it ain't Jesus or a barber, we ain't fixing it. So in this particular episode, this is exactly where Nick Miller finds himself. And again, he wouldn't give me a refresher. So this is kind of how I remember the story. Here goes.

Jake was a curious kid. He was troubled, but curious. He would watch tons of BET, you know, rap videos and living single, things like that. And Jake, he wanted to be like the black people. That was his thing. If you guys know Jake, Jake thought, man, these folks got it figured out.

He wasn't secure and still to this day with who he is. Jake Johnson still hasn't identified with his own person. Right now, at that time, Jake had a long ponytail. I'm not sure if you guys have seen the photos like down to his butt cheeks. Very 90s West, like Midwest meth chic. Like he looked like one of those. If you guys are from the Midwest out there, you know what I'm talking about. So Jake's mom, she worked in a black neighborhood.

She owned a furniture store like knickknacks, household goods, that kind of stuff. And it was next to a black barbershop. So Jake's mom, she bartered with the owner and said, now this is this part. I still remember this. She said, I will give you this Casio keyboard.

For free. And then you could go use it to make beats or do whatever you want to do. It's kind of like that scene from Hustle and Flow. She was a strange mom. I'm not sure why she saw that movie. But it's she says, it's yours if you if you cut my son's hair.

Right. Now, the police have been showing up at the house constantly saying Jake's fit the description of a of a meth head that's been going around stealing shit from people's houses and stuff like that. And she said, can you please go ahead and cut my son's hair? So Jake goes into the shop and immediately he's home. He's talking the language. He's fitting right in. And so they ask him what cut he wants. And the guy mumbles it and he goes, are you on a number seven?

And then Jake, trying to be cool, decides, yes, I'll take one of those. Keep this in mind. Jake just wanted a trim, right? He wanted to go from like 90s meth head to...

I don't know, like door-to-door VCR salesman. So he just wanted to like, he just wanted like shoulder length something. So when Jake nodded to this guy to confirm what he had heard, the guy ended up giving Jake the exact same haircut that you see in the episode. So Jake went from 90s meth head to,

to vanilla ice in an instant and that is exactly where this storyline came from oh my god that is hilarious I'm gonna go with um 10 true 90 artistic license in that story I do remember that uh that his mom had bartered with the barbershop next door

But that's the only part of that story I remember. Yeah. Well, in to be there. But he probably went to greater detail with you since you guys are both Chicago guys. Yeah. Because somebody was stealing copper pipes in the neighborhood and they would sell them. That's what crackheads would do. And Jake fit the description. So they thought he was one of the people doing it based off of his hair. That's like the best. Like.

like the most hilarious racket, right? People steal copper pipes. That's weird. When I first heard that, I was so confused. I was so lost by that. How they got their hands on them. I don't know. Yeah. Or even how people in that state figured out that they're valuable. Like it's just, it's great. Amazing. The thing I loved about that storyline the most and related to so hard is that the root of it is that he's just terrified of small talk.

Like the paralyzing fear of small talk, which I have as well. Oh, yeah. I have that when I'm on a plane. I don't like talking to the person I'm sitting next to on the plane. Which is why we're talking about dinner parties where you don't know a lot of people. We've talked about this before. It freaks me out because I'm just like, one-on-one I can do. Yeah, not on a plane. I don't really want to talk on planes just because I...

it's like loud and everything, but like at a dinner party, I love talking. Yeah. Like a plane is very close. Yeah. You're like, Oh, and then it's like when you're flying, you're like, I don't know, on a long haul or something. It's like, now we got to maintain this potentially for 10 hours. Yeah. Like, no, I prefer like if somebody says something to me in the last four minutes of the flight, nice to meet you. Goodbye. Yeah.

I had a guy recently on the plane decide that he just started to tell me he was drunk, clearly, that he was moving to L.A., he works for Apple, but he's quitting his high-paying job to move to L.A. to become a TikToker.

- Oh God, and lived in one of those houses? - Yeah, this man was in his 30s. Yeah, and he kept pulling up different hotels on his phone saying, "Is this a good hotel for me to stay in? Is this in the scene? Is this in the mix?" And I was like, "I don't know, man." - The scene? - "I don't know, man. I have a home. I don't stay in hotels, you know?" And he just kept saying, he was like, "Are you in entertainment?" I was like, "Somewhat." And he goes, "I got connections."

If you want, he comes in. I never told him what I did, but he just kept saying, I got connections, man. Like my friend's dad created Dexter. He kept saying that.

I was like, cool, man. My friend's dad. My friend's dad. And then after the flight, he was like, dude, you're 30. Stop. Then he offered me a ride home, which I clearly did not need one. And he insisted. And he kept saying, it's good to take this ride. It's my friend whose dad created Dexter. He's the one picking me up. So you might want to take this ride. Don't offer me a ride. Are you trying to murder me? That's what a girl would think. Isn't Dexter about a serial killer?

Killer? That's right. Is he telling you he's a serial killer? Possibly. Those were dropped. Yes. And funny story, this guy got away with the whole flight. Well, no, because you know there's the mask mandate on the plane. He clearly didn't get the memo. Like he was just kicking it. He was just talking and I was like,

Hey man, I don't want to be that dude, bro, but you are in my face. I was like, you know, I'm sure you're fine. Whatever. I love the mask mandate for the plane. You guys like, I,

I have gotten sick like on flights before. Have you gotten a cold on a flight? All the time. Oh my God. Like one time, my whole holidays were ruined because some woman sat next to me. It was like Southwest where they just like pick the seat and I got the seat and I was like, Ooh, nobody's next to me. And then they came and they're like, like coughing, coughing, coughing. And then she's like, it's just allergies. And I was like, it's not allergies. And then I was like sick the entire rest of my life.

My holiday break. And I'm like, you know, I'm like so happy to wear that mask. For those who out there who are confused, Zoe was on a Southwest flight once, but normally it's private. That is not true.

I do normal flights. You have this real obsession with Zoe being on private jets. I don't fly private. You have probably flown private more than I have. I do not fly private. I want to say the only, the first time I ever, not the first time, but I think the second time I flew private was to go watch you perform, I want to say. Oh, at the Super Bowl.

Sorry, World Series. I was like, Super Bowl's like for when, yeah, no, nobody sings that. Do people sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl? I've never watched the Super Bowl. Yeah, they sing the national anthem at every one.

I'll never forget that flight because I remember we came back and shot the Christmas episode. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I remember that because it was when they sprung on me that you're going to do like a photo shoot during the episode of you're the after of like a diet pill or something. So you're going to be in like a bikini or whatever. And the whole time there was so much.

like super delicious stuff. Oh, food at the World Series. And I was like trying to be here. I'm like, Monday morning, I've got to be...

I just remember that flight feeling tortured. I had the same thing, but in a different way. So when I sing, I have to be very careful. And I know a lot of singers don't. A lot of singers can party, drink, eat a lot, whatever. But when I sing, I basically have to be super disciplined. Otherwise, my voice isn't like what it should be. So you guys got there and everybody's like, yeah, we're all going out. And I'm like, I'm going to be going to sleep at eight. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I remember. I got lost in a strip club, I think. Oh, for God's sake. Where were we? We were in Dallas or something? In Dallas, yeah. Yeah. I just remember Jake looking for me somewhere. I remember they sat us right down, basically on the field. And we had these incredible seats. We could actually watch the game. And it was really amazing. This thing.

And then halfway through, they were like, we have a box. We have a box. We have a box. We have a box. Yeah, and they were like, there's cheese in the box. And I was like, where's the cheese? I love cheese. Bring the cheese. And so they moved us up. And I remember Jake being so mad because now you're up there and you have to like mingle with everybody who has kindly brought you out there. But he was like, we just had the best seats to watch the world.

World Series and now I'm all the way up here trying to buy cheese. But I also think I remember part of that Joe Buck was the announcer. Decided to call us out and say that we left. He was like, could have made it seem like we were some fancy Hollywood people just showing up all the way and then leaving. The camera panned over and he's like, and the cast of Two Girl and it panned over and we're on TV.

Nobody said that they were, but like we were hungry and we were still watching the game and I like baseball. I grew up watching baseball. So even though I called it the Super Bowl, it's only because I have mom brain, you guys. I know it's the World Series and I sang at the World Series twice. Give us a taste. I sang the next year. Yeah.

Give us a taste. No, thank you. I sang the second year, but they like you guys didn't come with us. And so it was not as exciting or fun. Oh, yeah.

You're right. We did get called out and we were all like so mad about it. We were eating cheese in the box at that point. And we got forced to move upstairs. Speaking of Super Bowl, the bears. The bears. Let's rewind for a second. Hannah. Hunt for the bear. Hunt for the bear. Where's the bear? Where's the bear? Y'all, I hunted, hunted for the bear.

And I could not find one in this episode. So I'm writing this down. So when Liz Merriweather comes on the show at the end of this season, I'm asking her about it. And I'm actually, I'm going to text Malmuth too, to find out because I could not find it. And of course, then I went and did my deep dive online. Nobody's found it.

Wow. Can I say there was like something that I did and I remember doing it and it was 100% Liz Merriweather. Genius that she is. There, you know, in this episode where I'm like,

naming like sex positions and i'm like there's this and there's one where i'm like this i remember liz being like just do this like the floppy handshaky sorry those of yeah floppy handshaky thing was like liz going just do this and i'm like oh that's 100 liz um anyway yeah you've seen it before but um before

I want to also mention Schmidt's storyline is so great in this episode. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Michaela Watkins, Ava and Marie, they are just fantastic. And oh, my God, Max is so funny. So I love this storyline. This is a good insider thing, too, about our show, that the Schmidt office

where he works is actually what the new girl offices were yeah that's where all the writers were the producers were that's where all the magic was made and that's they would repurpose it and just shoot schmidt's office there yep yes indeed now have you guys ever been to a baby shower where there's just one dude there and you're like what yeah one dude would be interesting just one

I, you know, I do like a baby shower at night. That's like normal. And it's not just women because the, the traditional ones, I think it was because my mom would throw baby showers like every weekend when I was a kid and she'd be like, I'm having a baby shower here. And I'd be like,

Count me out, peace. Because it would always be like a tea party and we would have to measure the belly with a toilet paper or something and people would guess how...

The terrible games. Yeah, and I get that. It was super sweet. Like my mom is, she's great at throwing parties, don't get me wrong, and she throws a lovely party. I think it was just that there were so many of them that the novelty had worn off by the 80th one. And so I was just, you know, kind of, you know, I mean, I'm not going to say traumatized, but I was fatigued.

You were a baby shower fatigued. Yeah. So like now when I have friends that are pregnant and having baby showers, I'm very happy when they have a nighttime one that is normal with alcohol and, and boys. They wrote her character, Michaela's character so well, because I feel like that very overly precious, uh,

pregnant woman yes kind of yeah stereotype has been played out and the idea that she was just like over it wanted to have a good time she wanted to feel like herself she wanted everyone else to have a good time and that weird like moment of her getting like shoved in the pool yeah um by schmidt

And then her reaction to it, it just felt like so fresh and funny. And she played it so perfectly. I love the line where she's like, I hate how everyone's, she's like, everyone's being so delicate with me. I'm not a box of crackers. Like, I remember feeling that when I was pregnant that like, I remember going to get pregnancy massages. And it's basically like somebody like, like lightly caressing you with a feather. And you're like, no, please.

please give me a massage like that's kind of what I'm here for and if you just caress me with this feather. Am I going to pay you 10% of what I normally would pay you? It's also funny because Ava Murray is like one of the nicest people ever so is Michaela and they get to play these like real strong bitchy women which I think is super fun I love Ava's character in this too She is so funny Have you guys ever been pushed in a pool while pregnant?

Not while pregnant. I've definitely jumped in pools many times in my clothes. In your clothes? Yeah. Just raging it. Just raging it. I remember at my friend's wedding, not that long ago, I was just bored. So one of my other friends jumped in a pool in his clothes and I was like, okay, bye.

See, yeah. And then in high school, I used to do that because I didn't really drink. I mean, I don't really drink that much or anything. Well, you did this without having alcohol in your system. Yeah. I mean, not like maybe a little bit of alcohol, like a...

I don't like to drink like hard liquor or anything. So I'll drink like maybe a glass of wine or glass of champagne, but like not more than that. Yeah. And then I, you know, so in high school I wouldn't really drink and then I'd just be bored because everybody else would be drunk and I would just jump in the pool. Cause that's fun. Yeah. I couldn't do that. Yeah. I couldn't do that. I could barely swim.

I thought you could swim. No, I can swim now, but like, I'm not, I'm not Michael Phelps. My only stretch of the imagination. I am also not Michael Phelps. I was on swim team in middle school, but that does Michael Phelps. That does not make me.

Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that's guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like a recent episode with author and podcaster Glynis McNichol on her new memoir, I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself. It's all about seeking pleasure in middle age. At some point, I stopped

feeling shame around any part of my existence. There was a point where I thought, who's benefiting from my feeling of shame? If there's a general sense of like, oh goodness, she's doing what she wants, who benefits from you feeling bad about that? Because usually not anyone whose opinion you're interested in, I would argue. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to our show.

Anyway, I want to tell you guys something crazy and weird that I found out about this episode. So I... The only scene I'm in in this episode is that lingerie scene where you buy the starfish contraption. Yes, and you're very funny. You are. Thank you. I... So anyway, I remember...

I had a lot of time off this first season. And I went on these really big deep dives into obscure, strange documentaries that I would watch. And there's a documentary called Confessions of a Superhero. And it basically is a documentary that talks about the people that dress up in like the Superman or Batman costumes on Hollywood Boulevard. And it's a quite...

dark, sad, strange documentary. You learn a lot of things you would not expect about what the real lives of those people are. And so after I watched it, I was a little disturbed and I Googled all of the people because they have their names up there. And I was now just deep diving, stalking online. The girl who was Wonder Woman in this documentary is

who is on Hollywood Boulevard taking pictures. And she has, it's crazy. Her life is documented in this crazy way.

Is the girl that's the lingerie store clerk. Oh, she was good. She was really good. Yeah. She's like, sorry, health code. That's right. That's exactly. That was her line. But it was such a strange thing because you're watching this documentary. That's really intimate, very dark, very personal. Like they really went there with every single person that they were following and the documentary and,

And I was like, this girl's life story is intense. And then to find out in the Google,

That we met her. And also. And I've been kicking it with her. Hannah, this is one of your late night. That's right. Documentary watches. This was like a 4 a.m. thing. Like Hannah would come to work and be like, I watched an entire season of like the show. And I'm like, how are you doing this? We had to be at work at 6 a.m. My, especially the first 13 like episodes of New Girl season one.

I had a much lighter schedule so I could Hannah you were in different countries too I could watch a lot of stuff yeah you were doing international traveling anyway I recommend watching the documentary but it was what is it called? Surviving Superman? no it's called

her name is Jennifer Wenger as the actress Confessions of a Superhero and it came out 2007 so she had done all of that and it kind of made me feel happy because obviously we know we shot that in 2011 2012 yeah and so I was like oh that's great because obviously she's now working and booking gigs so it's kind of interesting to know the kind of

trajectory of her career. So in, in, in this episode, you know, there's a lot of, a lot of sex talk, a lot of just trying to figure it out. You know, what's appropriate, what's not appropriate. Am I good enough? Am I not good enough? Um, if you had 15 minutes to help someone be better at sex,

What advice would you give them? Why don't you start, Lamar? Oh, gosh. Really? Lamar, you start. You get 10 seconds. You get to start. And then we have to probably beep the rest out. That's my guess. Go. One, two, three, go. Okay. Here's the secret to becoming better at sex. Always get yours first. It's because you had a good time.

Then to you, the sex was great. To you, the sex was fantastic. It was you. You know, then it's like when a plane is like the turbulence is happening and oxygen masks come down. You got to put the mask on yourself first before you can help others. But what if both people have that point of view? Now what? Yeah. You want to race? Yeah. Then you both had fun.

- You both? - You both? - You're just looking out for you. - Yeah, you gotta look out for yourself because it's not my job to make you happy. - Then do you need somebody else there at that point? Do you need someone else there? - Not all the time. - Great question, Zoe. - Not all the time. Some of the best sex I've had has been, I've been alone. So, I just put it out there, folks. Nobody knows me the way I know myself.

I think we have different points of view, Lamar. Slightly. There's a line in this episode which it says it's like a job. I think you say it, Zoe. Like it's a job interview with like the weirdest. Starting a new job with the weirdest. Yeah. Weirdest interview ever. That's kind of, I guess, is the first time you're with somebody. You're just getting to know each other. You're like, and then there's that. That's how that works. And now we all know that about Lamar. Yeah.

He's just going to go off by himself. He's like, I'll be back. Well, guess what? I always sleep well. At the end of the day. At the end of the day, I am out like a light. And your body heals when it's sleeping. And I think that's important to get sleep.

What's funny about this episode, too, is that Nick actually has, I think, great advice and he's trying to give it and Jess just does not want to hear. And I'm like, shh, I'm listening to Lamar. I mean, I'm listening to Winston. Yes, yes, you answered it to Lamar. You said it right. I said it right. It's also interesting there's a whole storyline basically about like porn trauma. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

yeah jess goes in the porn hole no would you you so you you figure this out by looking at schmidt's computer is that do you guys just leave your laptop just open in place you do yeah but i don't have a porn folder in my laptop i don't think anybody has a porn folder anymore i think it's just free and it's out there like if you're still saving porn i don't

Yeah. No. You can use my computer anytime you want. Yeah, you can use my computer. So you leave your computer wide open. Sure. You don't? I take it? No. There's other stuff that people don't need to be looking at.

I mean, I'm not going to let like a stranger use it, but I'd let one of my friends use it. So you're at an internet cafe, right? No way. It's already wrong. I'm also not at an internet cafe anymore. It's very like your 90s Euro. Do you want to ask the internet cafe? Yes. So in this episode, I know there's a lot of, there's Schmidt, Winston, Nick, they're talking about who, you know,

Who's the best at it? Who is the expert? Who would you guys say would actually be the sexpert in the loft? Like the actor, the real person or the... No, that. The character. The character? The character. Yeah.

the character? I don't know. It's really hard to say. They're all such... They seem to find the partners that make sense for them because that's really what it is. That girl who walked out of Schmidt's room, she didn't look sad.

That's true. She looked fine. So he found somebody that was like vibing with what he wanted to do. That's what it is, right? Chemistry, communicate. That's the other line of this episode. I was crying. It was the rescue stranded miners communicating with each other. Oh, yeah. Are you okay? Are you okay? Oh, yeah. That was so funny. It was so funny. Melmoth. Oh, my God.

I don't know if that was Malmuth's joke, but it was really funny. I know Max used to make up, Max used to write down a lot of jokes too. That sounds like something Max would have. Oh, I'm pretty sure Malmuth wrote that. I remember that in the scripts. Yeah. But I mean, obviously Max writes down lots of jokes that are good. I think I wanted to say one thing that the voices, it was really nice to have Justin Long because Justin Long is very like, he's just like a fun actor to like, you know,

kind of like improvise with. And he always has lots of ideas. And we just were running our lines before we shot that scene. And I remember we were just doing different voices and there was the newscaster kind of was in there, but like none of the other voices really were in there. Maybe the lumberjack part, but, but we both kind of started,

improvising weird voices and it was really the young man. Yeah, I was like, I just,

think weird i don't know even what i was doing that one was my favorite one it was like an old lady and um and then he laughed and then i was like laughing at his jimmy store and then it was like whatever made the other one you know like people giggle and then it was just such a fun like it was just a fun thing to play around with on that you know

It's a fun turn in there, too, where you think, oh, they're just going to then end up having some very traditional, sweet, like, consummation of their thing. And they end up having elevator sex, which is pretty bold. Yes.

it's bold I'll say yeah the elevator sex is bold I also I also like the turn in that was you know in the script but in there where they he's like let's just calm down let's just calm down she's like okay okay and then she starts choking him that made me yeah I was like I totally forgot about that whole part I was like oh god the choking was very funny and then his trauma response to it when you just try to he's like talk about it later

For the folks out there who are listening to this episode, don't have elevator sex. We're not encouraging it. It's disgusting. It's dirty. There's a million people walking around that damn thing. Also, don't stop. Don't stop the elevator. People need that elevator. Yeah, don't stop the elevator. You know what I mean? Don't stop the elevator. Just go home. Go to a hotel. Go to a rest stop. Go wherever it is you go. A rest stop. Yeah.

That's your hygienic alternative? Go wherever it is you're going to go. Just don't go to a rest stop. Don't do that either. I also, I admired the restraint to not play Love in an Elevator. Isn't that what that song is? There's a song called Love in an Elevator? Oh my gosh. Zoe, do you know what I'm talking about? I don't know that song. I don't know it. Love in this club? No! It's like ACDC or something. Steven Tyler.

It's an Aerosmith song. Giving it up while you're going down. Should we stop for a commercial break after 56 minutes? Can we resist playing? Let's stop for a commercial break. Oh my God. Let's listen to some of this elevator music.

Welcome to our show.

All right, we're back, you guys. We're going to play True American. Welcome to True American, where the rules change weekly and you leave more confused than when you showed up. This week, we're playing Rosalind Franklin's Mix and Match.

So in this week's episode, Schmidt attends his boss's baby shower or his boss baby shower. I don't know. So we're playing a classic baby shower game. Our producer has given us five photos produced by Morphe underscore me on Instagram. Each photo shows two faces smashed together and we have to distinguish which two celebrities make up the individual in the images.

so i actually think i'm gonna be good at this yeah me too i i can yeah i already know i feel like i know the first one let's describe it first so it's a beautiful woman gorgeous with high cheekbones hazel eyes blonde hair there yeah beautiful like cherubic uh lips and a perfect face um

I'm going to say this is Scarlett Johansson and Lady Gaga. Both beautiful women. Scar Jo and Gaga. Next one. I got this next one too. Okay. Yeah, I got it too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we have a beautiful brunette. She has like almond shaped eyes.

and you know cute cat eye makeup perfect mouth perfect nose cute little freckles you guys very caramel color tone skin yep caramel skin chai tea latte chai tea latte

I'm going to go ahead and say Zoe Kravitz. Yep. And Zendaya. Yes. That's my guess. That's my guess. That was my guess too. You're good at this. Beautiful. And by the way, these combinations are stunning. Perfect humans. Okay. This one I'm a little confused on.

Oh, I know exactly. I know one of these. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could be wrong about the second half of this one. I have a wild guess for the second half. I have a wild guess. So this woman, she has, how do you describe her hair? It's like in a ponytail, I guess you would say. It's like a deep side part, low ponytail. That's right. Also very kind of caramel colored skin-ish. Green eyes.

So she might be a mixture of a black woman and a white woman. That's what I'm thinking. I think she is, yeah. I think it's the woman you stalk online all the time, Lamar. It's Beyonce and Margot Robbie, I think. I think so. We should go to Vegas. We are crushing this game. I was going to get that wrong. I was going to say Jamie King. I was going to say Jamie King.

I was going to say. I mean, it looks like that too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like Elfin kind of. I mean, Margot Robbie and Beyonce is a stunning combination. It's a beautiful woman. Another stunning woman combo. This next one is my favorite. This next one is my favorite. I know exactly who this is. And it's a strange combination because these two actors don't look anything alike. I know one of them. It's an actor. He has brown hair.

Kind of brown eyes. Yeah, tousled. Tall forehead. Yeah. Yeah. High forehead. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a big forehead. It's a high one. Like his eyes start at the bottom of his face. Kind of a distinguished look about him. I think this is Keanu Reeves and Neil Patrick Harris. Boom. Really?

I am Keanu. I did not see Neil Patrick Harris in this. I saw Neil Patrick Harris right away. Look at the mouth and just the bottom of the nose. And that's, yeah, that's who it is.

Yep. And then the next one I know. Do you know what I mean? It had that vibe to me. Yeah, it does. It does have a little bit of a, but Neil Patrick Harris, that's really good. I know one of them. I don't know the second. I know both. So this looks like she looks like such like a nineties kid in this picture. Yes. So this is a beautiful woman, another beautiful woman with Brown hair and kind of light Brown eyes. Um,

Olive skin, perfect face again. Heart shaped face. There's a mole somewhere on her cheek. Very young. Natalie Portman. And Millie Bobby Brown. I never would have got that because she feels like Winona Ryder.

Yeah, Winona Ryder has... Yeah, no, it's Millie Bobby Brown and Natalie Portman. She does. It's the Natalie Portman from The Professional. Yeah, but they look alike. They look alike. So actually, I think when they look alike, it's harder to... Because this one, the first thing I thought... I know this picture of Natalie Portman. And I was like, oh, it's Natalie Portman. I'm like, who's the other person that looks just like Natalie Portman? But...

Sweet Eleven, Millie Bobby Brown, looks a lot like Natalie Borman, but they make a beautiful high

Well, if we were playing True American, we would have to take zero drinks because we just crushed that game. High fives, guys. Crushed it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. High fives all around. We got to put these pictures up on Zagram so you guys can take a peek at what we were looking at of these perfect humans. I know. Perfect humans. Even more perfect. I wouldn't have known that Lady Gaga and Scarlett Johansson...

I mean, both beautiful women, but they make such a pretty mix too. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That one, that one is the more flawless one. I think, I think right away that one blends. well that one in the blended. Yeah. That one in, um, Zoe Kravitz and Zendaya, those two mesh like a real, I want Morphe and me to do combinations. Now all the existing combinations of the three of us. Yeah.

I feel like there's some out there. Folks. I'll be like, does it make us look even more like a really attractive or are we just going to look like gremlins? At Morphe underscore me. M-O-R-P-H-Y underscore M-E. Please, please, please do some killer combos. I want to see it. Of your favorite new girl cast. Yeah. I want to see it. I would love to see that. Yeah.
