Hey guys, I just want to say, fans out there, I was tardy today. I was tardy and I'm emotional about it. I think you had a pretty darn good excuse. That's true, that's true. I think so. Nobody's mad about it. Nobody's mad about it. You were feeding, you were doing a charity event? Yeah, it wasn't really an event. It was just, you know, go to the Boys and Girls Club with feeding the children and...

Yeah, I think that's more important than our podcast right now. I think it's totally fine. Did you get some nice smiles? Yeah, it was cool. Today I was with Harry Shum. Harry Shum Jr. I love Harry. That's so cool.

making smoothies. Oh, sweet. Yeah, which I'm one of the best at. That's like something that people always say whenever they see me on the street. They always go, hey, you're the smoothie man. Smoothie king. That's what you're known for. What's your secret? What's your secret? I'm not going to lie to you. You add a little bit of, a little bit more banana than you need.

That's what I think in a lot of smoothie shops. I'm like, you put like five bananas in this smoothie. Like, I'll order a smoothie and I'm like, I feel like I just drank five bananas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bananas, super fruit. It is really good. Bananas are delicious. While you were doing good deeds, it gave me some time while you were tardy for the party. Usually I just sit here with a glass of water and we go through the podcast.

Not going to lie. Or a glass of wine. I had a little afternoon delight. What is that? You are drinking. Is that water? No, girl. It's a little lemon lavender cocktail by it's called Straight and Narrow. It's a company called Straight and Narrow. I'm not even. I don't. They don't support our show or brand our show. There is. It's a gin cocktail.

Oh, good for you. I thought you were joking, but you were serious. Yeah, I know. I'm recording this up in Canada. And they allow booze in Canada. They do allow booze. Yeah, these straight and narrows keep me straight and narrow. Lavender infused, you say? Lavender and lemon. To keep you calm. If there's one thing I want my cocktail to taste like, it's flowers. Yeah.

It's delicious. Well, lavender is good for Hannah. If you guys, folks at home, if you don't know, Hannah is very aggressive and wild. So the lavender keeps her calm, which we need her to have as much lavender as possible. Makes her sleepy. She's not scoring. I'm kidding. I actually, I love lavender. It's one of my favorite scents. I've never tasted it, but, oh wait, you know what? I've had a lavender latte, I think. Yes. And that's good. That is good. I'm bringing this back for you.

All right. You guys, very excited about this episode. Fancy man's fancy men. Fancy man. Part one. All right. Lamorne, do you want to read this little recap of the first part of fancy man? So it reminds all of us.

Jess's student is exhibiting some dark thoughts in her art, so she schedules a meeting with the student's parent, who should arrive, but Russell Schiller. Russell doesn't adhere to Jess's experimental teaching styles and insists his daughter work with a tutor instead.

Unfortunately for Jess, Russell is the third largest donor in the school district. Number one, of course, being me, which means she needs to apologize. Meanwhile, Nick is struggling with his credit score. I threw a joke in there that Nick has the credit score of a homeless ghost, which means it's pretty low.

Now, since he weighs more than his credit score, he's unable to secure a new phone. This causes him to have a bit of an identity crisis. Winston, meanwhile, also struggles with his confidence. Shocker. After Schmidt shows off his superior intellect in front of Shelby. They had a trivia night and Schmidt was showing his butt. Winston really wants to make things official with Shelby, but...

Schmidt's antics make him second guess himself until Shelby reveals that she likes Winston for who he is. Quite honestly, I think it's the mustache. It turns out Jess likes Russell.

Though it takes Cece to point it out to her. Russell can provide her with a car. That's an important thing. A mechanic, that's also important. And a new phone for Nick and pretty much more than any man she's ever dated. Even Nick falls in love with Russell.

Okay, sniffing on his sweater and his... That's my favorite weird storyline. The sniffing on the... Yeah. No, just that he... Him in Russell's office being weird. Says he smells like seeing a man about a horse. I thought that was pretty funny. Yeah, that's a good... That was a good... That was a good line. Now, after Russell saves Jess from a Japanese bidet, which I love. I love me a good old-fashioned toto.

I love a Japanese today, Joe. Love him. Love him. There's a story. By the way, there's a story behind that storyline that I'll get to. So just after Russell saves her from getting wet by the toilet water, agrees to go out with him. Now love is in the air for all of our loft mates. Now back to our show.

That's a good refresher. Yeah, I think it was a good refresher. Separate the fancy man's for me. Yeah. 100%. Who directed this episode?

Peyton Reed. Peyton Reed. Love Peyton Reed. Love, love, love Peyton. We love Peyton. What a great guy. He directed a movie I did called Yes Man. Yep. And when we started our first season of the show, I sent him a little text and said, hey, I'm doing a TV show. Would you be up for directing an episode or two? That's awesome. And he came in. Yeah. Him and then Jesse Peretz and Miguel Arteta.

A number of people that were my friends who were directors, I roped in. Peyton had a party at his house once. Was it a Christmas party or something? I forget what it was. Probably. But he reminded me of Fancy Man. You know what's so funny? I was literally going to tell the same story. Peyton had a Christmas party. And I remember going. And I felt a little intimidated and overwhelmed. And I was like, you know what? It's fine.

Just, you know, try to blend in. And I remember Al Yankovic. Yeah, he's friends with Peyton. Which I didn't know. Again, this is like kind of my first like industry party to go to. And he was sitting on a couch by himself. And I just remember being like, wow, I'm crazy.

Weird Al. Like, that's what I want to do. Like, that is my comfort zone at a party to find a couch, sit down, kind of keep to myself. And I've never been starstruck slash related to another human being in their party mode more. That's what I remember of Peyton Reed's Christmas party.

I met Weird Al and his lovely family at Peyton's house at a party, and he sent me a Christmas card via email every year since. No way. What a nice guy. Very nice etiquette. I met Weird Al at church, and he never sent me a Christmas card. Well, that's weird. Okay, well.

Okay, this episode. This episode. All right. All right. All right. All right. We love you. We love you, Al. We love you, Weird Al. We love you, Weird Al. Whether you're at church or a Christmas party. Right off the bat, guys, I do want to say this.

Randall Park is in this episode. I know! I didn't know that. I didn't know he was ever on our show. Randall Park is in that opening moment. Yeah, in the cell phone store. In the cell phone store. As soon as I saw that, I went, what? Oh my goodness. With a hairdo that says some things. That says some things. Like I almost didn't recognize him. I know. I did not recognize him. You just said that and I was like, wait, what? You were the one in the scene.

Yeah. Yeah. I want to take the credit for, I want to be the first one to say that New Girl is responsible for Randall Park's career. Launching his career. You're welcome, Randall. With his two lines. Yeah.

Yeah, it was a wild moment. I thought too. I was like, there's no way. I actually Googled it because I'm like, there's just no way that someone who just looks like Randall Park. Exactly. But it was him gracing our show with his incredible talent. So that's a great way to start off. Shout out to our casting department on our show who did such an incredible job. We had the best cast. I mean, we had such incredible guest actors coming in every single week and like

Every time I watch it, I'm like, I'm reminded of who was on our show. And I'm like, how did we get all these people? It was pretty incredible. In this episode, we get Randall Park, we get Callie Hawk, we got Dermot Mulroney. Yes. Dermot Mulroney. So let's dive in. Dermot Mulroney plays Russell, Fancy Man. Mm-hmm. Right? Yeah.

So how did this story, did this storyline come about in any particular way? Or is this just, you know, another way to try to weave into the will they, won't they with Nick and Jess? Because we bring in this man. Guys, also we had Rachel Harris, by the way. Rachel, oh, that's right. She was in that episode, but she was recurring. So she was in multiple episodes, but Rachel Harris is so, so funny. Oh, yes. Playing my boss.

Yes, absolutely. And if I'm forgetting anybody, I'll go back and I'll... Well, there are just too many great ones. That's what's... I feel like this is the first time we see Jess with now a boyfriend that we're going to have around.

you know, for a real storyline. Yeah. 100%. Do you remember how you felt, Zoe, when you found out, like, this is it, okay, we're in the show now, and this is your love interest for the season? I was like, yeah, because Dermot, I had met, like, he probably doesn't remember this, but I had met him at, like, a play reading, maybe, you know, a number of years before, and he was, like, so incredibly nice, and he was like, oh, because he's, I'm a musician, he's a

He's like a really good cello player. He like plays on sessions and stuff. No, he's a session cello player. Like you have to be so good to be a session player. And he was like, yeah, if you ever need a cello player, here's my information. Like he is so nice.

And I remember being like, what a nice guy. And then when they said he was going to, that that's who they wanted, I was like, absolutely. He is such a nice guy and would be a fun person to work with. Did he play the cello at all in any of these episodes? I forget.

No. I think he might have at some point. Really? I remember Megan Rath at the later seasons, she had to pretend to play a cello. Right. I remember that. For some reason, I thought he did in later, later seasons. Maybe he came back for a few episodes at the very end. I mean, if they didn't have him use that skill, what a waste. What a waste. I mean, really, what a waste. Because I have so many skills that...

And New Girl, to me, over the seven seasons, wasted a lot of them because they never used them. Tell me which ones are those. I'm a horse whisperer. A horse whisperer. You're a horse whisperer? Yeah. I like to whisper in a horse's ears. They never let me do it. Not once. They don't like it, but I do it. Yeah, I'll do it. You know what I mean? Like a professional. I can juggle chainsaws.

oh my god well i would love to see that i'm surprised i didn't take advantage of that one yeah but i'm not good at it okay okay then i don't yeah then please don't then we don't want you to please don't try to i'm still working at least not on our watch you know yeah i won't do it on the podcast but i'll you know what i mean like if we ever you know gear up for another rerun of new girl i'll do it then okay and then what else lamorne tell us honestly

If you just look up, look left, look right, I'm behind you. I can appear anywhere. Oh my God. So you're a stalker. There you are. Yeah. Some people call it stalking. That's what the police said. That's what the lawyer said. I call it appearing.

I mean, honestly, I'd be delighted if either one of you appeared in my midst at any point. Delighted. Don't look up. Don't look left. Don't look right. There he is. Lamorne. Wasn't that the term that they had in season five? Doing the Biden? Just Biden him? Just be there. Yeah.

Joe Biden, just be there. Just be there. That's what you were doing, the Biden. That's what's happening now. You're Biden-ing. I'm Biden-ing. Okay, so we're talking about the show, remember? We're talking about the show. Okay, so Nick is also enamored with Russell Bannon.

uh because he's the opposite he's the he's the opposite he's kind of the person that nick wants to be but he we start off by talking about how bad his credit score is like that's as basic as it gets he has a very very terrible it's it's a 250 right and so it's a 250 and so everyone is shocked by this is that do you think russell's

what do you call it? Stature in life was intentional by writers. Like let's make this someone who was directly opposite from Nick. But do you think it was specifically for that reason of getting them together at that point? Sure. Or was it just like funny? I think it's like to show how it can't work if it's all the things that Nick isn't.

You know, it seems like the perfect package. How could you say no? Even Nick can't say no. Well, what's what's cool about the two episodes back to back and having just watched both of them is that the first one, it's like Nick is the opposite of Fancy Man. And then the second one offers Nick a chance to step into another type of Fancy Man status as he woos like a college student.

Right. So there's definitely a progression of Nick throughout these fancy men episodes. Yeah, he gets a taste of what it's like to be

uh admired for what it is he's doing which is right he's a bartender you know which is great he can make cool would you guys be happier so nick doesn't have a phone this episode and he makes it like his identity would you guys do you guys think that you could survive for a while without a phone would you be happier without your phone no i couldn't survive without a phone i don't think so i used to think that i was the guy who could but there's so much more responsibility now

If I were stuck, if I was in one location with my kid, then I feel like everyone else can handle themselves and I wouldn't need to have a phone necessarily. But because I have to, like, no. I think, like, I want my phone for emergencies, but I do think there's, like, a major amount of time suck that happens with certain things, like Instagram. Yeah. Which I enjoy very much. I had to put a limit on myself, like...

Because otherwise I just like mindlessly doom scroll, you know. Yeah. Just scrolling. Just scrolling. Memes. Cat memes. You guys. Cat memes are my favorite. I love it. Instagram gives you the report. Instagram gives you the report of how many hours you spend that week. I did the math. They gave me a report. It said that I spend 390 hours a week.

I didn't know it was that many hours. Instagram was like, yeah, bro. Yeah, bro. Yeah, bro. Guys, in our notes, it says, talk about working with Randall Park, Zoe. I'm like, didn't realize I was working with him. But I will say, okay, that I do remember him separately as the actor that I worked with on that day versus him.

The man he is today. Okay. And I remember him being very nice and very funny and very professional. Nice. What if he weren't? That'd be so funny if he was like... He's the loveliest. That would be. But you know what? I don't remember like really ever having anybody that was like...

Do you remember having anybody that was like a big problem? I think maybe we'll have to like go through and like, you know, I don't know if I'd necessarily call them out, but I might mention them. But I don't think because I don't want to like ruin anyone's careers. But I can't remember any time that we had somebody on the show where I was like, what a dud. No.

Here's the thing that bumped me at the fancy man barbecue that Jess goes to. Okay. This is a very like high to do party. It's catered. It's fancy. It's fancy man's. I aspire to that kind of party. Like have fun. It was gorgeous. It was incredible. So grown up. But he's then like, she finds him like working the grill. And I was like, come on.

There's no way if he's supposed to work through them and talk to people and he has it fully catered, he's the one turning sausages at the barbecue. You know what, though? Sometimes I've gone to people's houses who are kind of fancy and they have a caterer and all that stuff, and then they want to make the thing that they're good at making. Elon Musk. And a lot of guys are kind of territorial about that.

The grill? The barbecue? He just doesn't seem like the guy that would be like, I'm the grill master. Maybe they're trying to surprise you because I do think it was weird that he took such a turn from he's such a dick in that first scene when he walks in. He's like, I know what's best for my daughter, Miss Day. Remember how he was in the first scene? I was like, this guy's a jerk. And then all of a sudden,

He's like totally nice and seems to respect. I do think they were trying to give him a down to earth moment. And that was the down to earth moment. Like, I'm just here cooking the food. He's turning his own sausages. Yeah. Turning his own sausages. Giving out cell phones, giving out sweaters. That was a part two that was a little nuts. I'm like this man, it just keeps handing like things out.

And a real bizarre. I've never seen anybody just do that. They barely know. That just goes to show you've never been to my house. You are actually oddly generous. Like you are very over. You are extremely. I will attest to that. I remember being like, it's like so nice. Yeah. Hold on to those watches. What are you doing? You just like give away Rolex. I will never forget when we booked new girl.

You had a friend who's just a friend and you're like, oh, she helped me like, you know, read lines and get the show. And you gave her a pair of Louboutins. Right. I remember that story. And I was like, you need to slow down.

I was like, do you want to help me pick out presents for people? That's a really good present. If you hate money, Zoe, have Lamorne come with you. You know what I thought was so sweet, Lamorne, was when I had my first baby, Elsie. You got me a baby food maker, which was the sweetest present. I remember that, too.

I was like, this is so sweet. And I'm like, I need this. This is so awesome. What a good gift. Yeah, because you are a bit of a fancy man. And speaking of which, we started this whole podcast that you were out there.

Turning sausages this morning. I mean, maybe you are. He was turning bananas is what he was doing. And a big old blender. So here's the big question that I wanted to ask you guys, because Jess has a tell, right? If she has a crush on someone that she goes into this like weird, funny British accent.

or she does the Kermit the Frog voice I think Cece's like please tell me I think she does lots of weird voices yeah she gets into like these voices do you have a tell when you when you like somebody well I only like one person his name is Jonathan Scott he's from Canada but did you have a tell did I just do a voice there you go you just did a voice why did you talk like that I'm just kidding I only like one little man no I mean I'm just kidding with the voice um

I don't know. Like when you first like somebody. I don't know. I can't think of anything other than, you know, I feel like all the normal stuff like, you know, texting people.

But I text my friends, too. It doesn't mean I like them. Like that, you know? There's no, like, weird tell. It's like a dead giveaway. I don't think so. Like a twitch? Like a twitch. I do. You do? What's your thing? I do. Mine is like, it's post-coital, you know? Oh! That's when I know. You really like somebody. I was like...

that's the game i like you i hope you like them at that point yeah yeah that's when i know that's when i know if we engage in grown-up stuff then i'm like yeah that's not a tell i don't yeah otherwise i don't think i have a specific tell um i think it's i you know it's hard to date these days so i think um you go out multiple times i think if you if if

If you're continuously as on my side of the coin, if I reach out multiple times to continue after the first date, that's my tell. That's what it is. Because a lot of times, I will be honest. You're ghosting. You're ghosty boasty. It's one date and then, you know. Adios, Felicia. Yeah. If my everyday life...

takes precedent over me hanging out with you again, then that's telling me. That's my tell for myself. I go, I have to get this other stuff done. But there are times where I go, I put everyday life on the back burner to see that person again. And then that would be my tell. My thing is that I...

I look like I'm just like about to start laughing all the time because there's like a voice in my head the whole time. I'm trying to listen to you and talk to you, but I have, I know, I know that you're going to be trouble for me. And so there's like a voice in my head the whole time going like, this is like, this guy is like really hot and you really like him. And what do you even say? You're talking so quietly, but that's what's happening. Like in my brain, this little voice is saying it. And then I'm like laughing and I cannot hear a word that they're saying.

Do you still do that with Jesse? Yes. Isn't that terrible? He's the worst. I mean, it's very cute. It is. But that's a scary one to do. And I know we're off topic a little bit. That's a scary one to do because when you're not listening and you're just giggling at what that person looks like, they're probably telling you very important information. Like I'm a serial killer. I watch you while you sleep. Yeah.

wear your underwear and you know that's that you avoid that person but you wouldn't know because you're not listening yeah hopefully my instincts of who I'm spending time with has gotten me past the super creepy people so that's nice hey guys speaking of creepy people who will wear your underwear while you sleep we're gonna go to break I don't know why that bad transition but

And we're back. Hello, everybody.

So good to be back. Can we talk about like bar trivia dates? Like a good like pub quiz? Would that be like... I think it's tough because you're like, those things can get so competitive. It's like if you're going to go play basketball with somebody on your first date. Just a little bit much. Yeah.

I would love that as a first date. Trivia or basketball? Not basketball. By the way, my first date with Jonathan was an escape room. Really? See, that sounds fun. It's the best, but I didn't know how to play. I didn't know how you were supposed to do it. There's a learning curve. And I was like, what is happening? And

And he was there, and then we went to dinner, and then his brother and sister-in-law met us. And they were all doing stuff. They knew exactly what to do. And I was just standing there like, what is happening? Wait, on your first date, you met the whole family?

I'd already met. I'd already met. Because then he liked you bad. Like if he was like, date one, here's everybody. They were supposed to come to dinner with us. And then when he was like, he was like, not sure if it was a date or not. He was like, so who's coming tonight? And I was like, just me. And he was like, okay. And then he canceled everybody. He's like, get away.

I say trivia nights are great, though, for a first date. I mean, because they sometimes do work out. I'm not sure if you guys have seen the hit classic movie Game Night.

Guys, rent the movie. What do you call it? You don't rent it. You stream it. Stream the movie. Game night. Sorry, I'm old. Stream the movie Game Night starring Lamorne Morris and also Rachel McAdams. That's right. Jason Bateman. Billy Magnuson. Jason Bateman. I mean, the cast is fantastic. It's an incredible cast. I love all these actors. Do you remember shooting these bar trivia scenes?

Well, so we did our trivia scenes in someone's home, but the movie opens up with Jason and Rachel going to- I meant in this episode, not the movie. Oh, in this episode. Oh, I thought we were still talking about Game Night. You're plugging your movie career. So Game Night, no. So in this one, you know what's interesting? While I was watching it, every once in a while this will happen when I do the rewatch. I don't remember being there. Get out. I don't remember. When I was watching it,

It was like I was watching it for the first time. And I just thought, man, I don't remember shooting this scene. And I don't know what it is about it. Maybe because internally, I truly would feel some sort of way if Schmidt was behaving that way. If I liked a girl and Schmidt was just...

you know, showing you, showing me up. It's so annoying. It's so annoying for it to do that. 100%. So that's, I probably blocked it out of my memory, you know, so it's, it was gone that moment, but you were method acting.

Daniel Day-Lewis is what they say when they see me on the street. They always go, man, is that a young Daniel Day-Lewis? Daniel Day-Lamorne? Yeah. And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Smoothie King? Absolutely. Yeah, that's me. Isn't there like a smoothie place called Smoothie King? I think so. Is that your joint? I don't know, but I could be the spokesperson for Smoothie King.

Guys, opportunity right here. Guys, you're hearing it here first. Yeah, but I think a trivia night, a bar trivia night, because you can tell a lot by a person's personality. You can tell a lot of their personality due to how competitive they may be, how passive they may be, how smart they may be with useless information. Yeah. 100%. I think, yeah, it would be fun. I mean, I love a game night.

I guess what you're saying, there's a flip of it. It would be very telling if you're doing that as a date and the other person is actually concerned about winning or losing. That to me all of a sudden becomes a bummer of a date. Like if you're there just to have fun and who cares if you get one answer right and you're just enjoying the show of everybody else having high stakes on it, that's a fun night to me. But if you actually care, like I'm out, bye. Have you guys ever played that game Balderdash?

I've heard of it. It's a fun game. Yeah. It's where they have categories. It's like movie, book, laws, like a number of things. And they'll give you a title of a movie, say, or a book. And then you have to write the synopsis. And...

And then you write down, like, the person who's, like, the center of the game writes down, like, the real thing. And then everybody turns in their, like, fake answers. And then you read them all together. You get points if people pick your fake answer. And you get points if you pick the real one. But that one's really fun because...

I a lot of times play just to make people laugh. Like I just say like stupid stuff to make people laugh. Like not caring whether I get points or not. And I like that one because you can kind of play for laughs or like play for real and everybody's welcome. They have another game that's essentially that game called Fibbage. Or Fibbage. Fibbage. Fibbage. You play Fibbage. Fibbage.

on Jackbox TV or something like that. And it's cool because everyone has their own phones and you can write down the wrong answers. Oh yeah, we did this during quarantine a lot. So that's just saying I never knew that. I never knew that.

I never want to play an online. I never want to have an online party again. No, goodbye. Don't you feel like, I feel like I'm like, we did that just like to scratch the itch of being around people, but I'm like, I don't want to have a zoom party again, but I did. I did like doing that. I did like playing that game and that was very fun. So thanks.

For the memories. Speaking of memories, one of the most memorable parts of this episode is you in a real like almost karate fight with the bidet, which is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm like, that looked like a violent assault that that toilet was doing to you. Okay. So here's what happened. And this, this is true story. Okay. Yeah.

All right. Remember when we had the first season, which this was, we had a big giant dinner with the heads of the studio and the network. Oh, yeah. Like it was like Dana Walden, who basically runs Hollywood now. She's like a super, super smart, powerful executive and.

We had Kevin Reilly. We had Gary Newman. We had Peter Chernin. Kevin Reilly ran the network. Gary Newman also was running the studio with Data. And then we had Peter Chernin, who was one of our exec producers. It was a big wig dinner, okay? These are like...

very, very high up people at Fox. And they had a big dinner to celebrate our wonderful show success, which was so exciting. And Liz was sitting next to me, and I think Peter Turner was on the other side of me. I think Gary was sitting close by too. And I got up to use the restroom. I walk in the restroom.

And there's this like toilet, right? And it has like a, there's like a bunch of buttons on this. I have no idea. Like, I'm like, and it's closed. And I'm like, well, how do I open it?

So I press some buttons. The toilet like opens and starts like squirting me with water. What? I get my entire. Yeah, I press the wrong button. OK. Oh, my goodness. I got sprayed on my dress with toilet water. And when I went back to my seat, I was like, Liz, Liz. And she's like, what? I'm like.

a Japanese toilet just like assaulted me in the bathroom. She's like, what? I'm like, my skirt is all wet because the Japanese toilet like went crazy and started squirting me. Anyway, Liz thought this was hilarious and put it in the, um, the episode and which, cause it was like, we were with these very, very, um, powerful people. Right. And, um,

So that's the story. And we were at a place. Do you remember the restaurant we were at? It was like a steakhouse in Beverly Hills. I wasn't invited. It was in a private room. Yeah, we had a big square table. Hang on, it's still there. Hang on. Mastro's?

Was it a Mastro's? Yeah. Huh. That's interesting. I don't, I didn't get that invite. No, you were there. I was eating a bologna sandwich. So that was, so that was pulled from a real experience because I also remember there's a scene where you and I are talking and I'm giving you advice and,

about, you know, taking a chance and dating like a man instead of a boy and you're holding your bunny phone case. And wasn't that your real phone case? No, it wasn't. I thought there was like a phone case or something of yours that you, I don't know that they had stolen from your real life and put in the show. Don't remember what, look, it's not out of the realm of possibility. It might've been my real phone case. I'm not sure. I think, but here's actually, I think what happened is,

That it was in the show and that I liked it and ordered one. I was like, I love this phone case. This is so cute. I just remember having a conversation with you and I thought it was about that phone case, which is like, there's like, they're starting to kind of like mine our real experiences. And things that we like. It's like, there's, there's stuff that's not like Jess about me. And then there's,

A lot of stuff. Then there's stuff that's totally, you know, like Jess. So, but that is something I would 100% rock without regrets. I'd be proud of my bunny phone case. You know, it's funny too. When I watched that episode and Nick goes into Russell's office, there's some like black and white framed art of like...

I don't know, like the Savannah in Africa somewhere with like an elephant on it. You see it in the background. And in the final season of New Girl, that exact art is hanging in Nick's office.

in his room in his office and so when new girl ended um i actually bought my first home and i'd always lived in an apartment and i bought this home and i was like i i didn't have enough stuff to even begin to fill a home and i remember um michael whetstone was sort of like

Help yourself to anything to use that you really like. And then stuff can be placeholders until you find the things that you really want. Or if you like it, just keep it. And that black and white, because I've traveled there and spent time there and whatever. I was like, I love this. And so that actually is in my house now. Oh, my God. From a fancy man's office to my house. That's so funny. I have...

I have the watermelon and the botanical print from my room that are up in my house. I don't think I have any. No, I do have artwork from that. I took a lot of stuff. Yeah, I think we all kind of really did a lot of shopping. I only asked for three things.

Yeah. I should have asked for more, but... I took Ferguson's tombstone. I took the space orgy that was happening. You did not. Did you really? Yeah, I have that. The space orgy that happened. I took that painting. I have the basketball hoop from the loft. You took a cat's tombstone? I keep it in my front yard so when people come, they go, oh my God, you buried someone here? It's like Pet Sematary. Yeah. But yeah, they don't know it's a cat though. They think it's a person. Terrible. Terrible.

Now it's time for Where's the Bear? Where's the Bear?

Where's the Bear is brought to you by Hyundai. When it comes to your journey, Hyundai is thinking of you every mile. Hannah, have you figured it out this episode? Okay, so I will say...

Besides the bear on the refrigerator in Fancy Man Part 1, I don't find any other bear references. But I'm going to say this because it happened a couple weeks ago when we did our injured episode. I was like, I couldn't find any bears. And then people were commenting in...

on my Instagram post about there was a bear and I had missed it. And I realized this is what needs to happen now on this podcast. Okay. As we go through this season and we're going to start taping these upcoming episodes, message me if you find the bear, and then I will read that aloud and share it here on the show. Help me.

I need this to be a team effort from our listeners. So after Fancy Man Part 1, we're going to do Part 2. So after that going on, from that, if you see bears, let me know and help me out because I'm a believer in the bear in every episode. Yes, please, please let us know. And right now I'm not doing the best job as the lone man on campus hunting bears. You're not. I knew all the bears were. I just don't say it. This is your segment, so I don't say anything. Ha ha ha.

Whatever your destination, they've got the latest tech to get you there safe and keep your passengers entertained along the way. From shopping to buying to owning, Hyundai has your back. Learn more at HyundaiUSA.com. This end of this episode, I will say, is one of the funniest tags I feel like we did in the entire series where Jake is pretending to be like a CEO of Hyundai.

Or president of planet Earth behind the desk. Oh, yeah, that was very funny. And just... It's so funny. Also, can we mention that I had to fall into a pond, a koi pond, at like three in the morning? Did you really do that? Yeah. Get out. So you do your own stunts. You and Tom Cruise. I don't. I have an amazing stunt double, but I fell into the pool. I had to like...

I can't remember whether she did the falling and then I had to do the getting up or whether I just, I think I might have just done the falling there. Because I do remember that I had to be in the pool, but I'm not sure. So I'll, I'm not sure. But I do remember having to go in the pool at pool. I call it a pool. It was a koi pond. It was a koi pond. It's a lot of water work you had to do in this episode. It's a pool for koi.

Toilet water, pond water. Toilet water, pond water. It was clean. A lot of water sports. I had to fall in the koi pond. But yes, Jake and the CEO of the company was so funny.

This was just I forgot about it. And then he just kept going and going. And I was like this. I was just crying. I was like, this is so funny. I was like, this is the whole thing. His love for him is so genuine. And I love that that's like a twist because you think it's going to go into the formula. Right. Of him, like not liking him because he secretly has a crush on Jess.

But the fact that he can't resist them, it just, I don't know, it caught me by surprise again in the rewatch and I absolutely loved it. I died laughing. I love this episode. Okay, we're going to do a little True American to end this episode.

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 Sean Connery's Rich Tough Guy quotes. Are we listening to them, Joelle, or are we? Sorry, no. If you guys could do dramatic readings and then I'll drop in the chat. Oh.

if you guys guess who said them. I don't do a good Sean Connery. They're not all Sean Connery. Oh, they're not all Sean. I think however you read them will be a lot of fun. Okay. Alright, Lamorne, you go first. You really don't remember, do you? We didn't pick you. You picked us. You volunteered right here, right here, even after you were warned. I don't know whose voice I'm doing because they're not all Sean Connery. Ha ha ha ha!

Why did you pick me? You don't remember, do you? We didn't pick you. You picked us. You volunteered right here, right here, even after you were warned. I have zero clue. I don't even know. What is it? None of these are movies I would probably know well enough. It sounds like The Matrix, but it's not The Matrix. Oh.

I'm going to go ahead and say this is the Bourne Ultimatum, the Jason Bourne series. I'm going to say Star Wars. Star Wars. I just don't know. So I'm picking Star Wars. It's the Bourne. It's the Bourne Ultimatum.

Is it? Is it really? Sorry, I was dropping the answers in the chat. Oh, I didn't see. I can't look at the chat. So nobody knew. Zero points. Minus one for Lamorne for cheating. I'm sorry. She put it right there for everybody to see. The next one. My dear girl, there are some things that just aren't done such as drinking Dom Perignon.

53 above the temperatures of 38 degrees Fahrenheit.

But just as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs. The Beatles? The Beatles. The Beatles. So in Help, the Beatles movie, the bad guys keep calling the Beatles the Beatles. The Beatles? That was a little reference. I have no idea what... This sounds like a James Bond quote. It sounds like a James Bond movie. This feels very James Bond-y. I think it's the Pink Panther.

My guess, Star Wars. It is James Bond. It's Goldfinger. Goldfinger. I don't know any of the Bonds apart from any other Bonds. Well, nobody's... The Bond in Goldfinger. I mean, it feels like it has to be a Bond, like the way Bond talks. And then it's... My dear God. 53, like who's drinking...

Wine from 1953. That's very old. Very old champagne. Yeah, sorry, not wine. Champagne. Yes, champagne. All right, Hannah, do you want to do... What? I can't even. Okay.

If you're dealing with a man who has crushed, shot, stabbed, and detonated five members of his own IMF team, how devastated do you think you're going to make him by hauling mom and Uncle Donald down to the county courthouse? Is that like a county courthouse? Matthew McConaughey or something?

I don't know. IMF team is a very important team. It's like a war movie because there's detonations. I'm going to go with The Hunt for Red October. I'm going with Star Wars. It's a spy movie. Mission Impossible.

Whoa. That was impossible for me to guess. This is all Mission Impossible, this game, right now. If you are playing along at home and you've even gotten one, bravo to you. Oh my gosh. Mornie, you want to take D? The 70s and the 80s? You're not missing anything, believe me. I've looked into it. There's a gas shortage and a flock of seagulls. That's about it.

Is this Back to the Future? But no, I think this is... It's not a spy movie. It's not a spy movie. I'm going to go ahead and say... Tough guy. Austin Powers. Boom. Whoa! Okay, we got one right. Boom. Wow, I love it. I'm impressed. That was not going to be my...

That was tough. We don't know a lot of rich tough guys. That's all we've just learned. I like how good we were at sad songs. Sad songs? We knew them all. Yeah, we were really amazing at that. Rich tough guys? Don't know you. Don't know those men. Bye. All right. Thank you, guys. Like and subscribe. Please. Give us five stars if you love us.
