Ring, ring, ring, ring. May I please speak with Zoe? Oh, hello, Lamorne. Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was like working with you guys. Welcome to our show. Hi, everyone, and welcome to... Welcome to our show. Welcome to our show. With Zoe Deschanel, Hannah Simone, and Lamorne Morris. That's me. Welcome, guys. Today, we're talking about a little episode...

the story of the 50? Yeah. Episode 10. Episode 110. It was season one, episode 10. And this episode changed a lot because of some of the circumstances that happened while we were shooting it. And we would love to tell you about lots of things about this episode because I think it's pretty fun. Wow.

Last time on New Girl, episode 110, the story of the 50. Schmidt has done something so douchey and the entire loft agrees he should put $50 into the jar. We flash back a few days to the planning of Schmidt's 29th birthday party. The fear of 30 just a year away leads him to make some weird decisions. He wants a party bus with a boob-shaped steering wheel and a stripper pole, but the bus isn't available, so resourceful Jess...

improvises and decks out a school bus with streamers' lights and balloons to keep the party going. Nick is concerned his friends will make a bad impression on his new lady lawyer love, Julia, but is pressured into bringing her to Schmidt's party to prove that he's not embarrassed of them.

The night kicks off a series of calamities when Schmidt's bronymy, Benjamin, immediately rains on his parade by forcing Schmidt to sing the humiliating parody song, We Built This Schmitty on Tootsie Rolls, hearkening back to Schmidt's zaptic college days and the man they call Fat Schmidt.

When the stripper agency sends a male stripper instead of a female, Schmidt wonders if he could have a future as a stripper. Benjamin refuses to help get the gang into Schmidt's favorite club and then hits on Jess in a totally creepy way. Schmidt tries to intervene, leading Benjamin to declare that the party sucks. After Nick and Winston try to calm Ben down, Julia punches him in the face and all the commotion causes the driver to crash the bus.

Later, Julia reveals to Nick that she has an anger management problem. Undeterred, Nick and Julia cement their couple status. Way to go, Nick! Everyone goes home, but Jess and Schmidt stay behind to wait for the tow truck. While they wait, Schmidt tries to kiss her, which is why he owes money to the douchebag jar. He got off easy. Now back to the show. We had some great, great guest stars. Mm-hmm.

It was written by Love Rock Hay and directed by Troy Miller. Yes. Good old Troy Miller. It was awesome. And yeah, we had Lizzie Kaplan. I was a huge fan of hers. Me too. I don't get starstruck by any. I mean, I do. But seeing her on the show, I was like, holy crap, man, she is dope. Yeah, she's fantastic. Were you a fan from like Party Down?

No, I would just see her in random things. Like, I don't remember specifically what it was, but I knew exactly who she was. And I was like, oh, she's cool. I was like, that's awesome. Yeah, she's very cool. She's very funny, very cool, really good actress. And we were lucky enough to have her for a number of episodes. And she was playing Nick's girlfriend, Julia. And this is the first time you see them together. And then we also had David Neer coming back as Benjamin. Some of my favorite...

um of his improvisational genius in this episode oh my which never made by the way a lot of his stuff never made it to air but to this day my favorite thing that he's ever that i've one of the turquoise no when he goes up to nick he's at the party bus and he goes what's that my n-word he goes don't don't call me no no what

Wow. What a joke pitch that was. Yeah. So this episode is about when Schmidt's turning 29, right? The final year of his 20s. Yes. And his party bus falls through.

Yes, exactly. His party bus falls through. And also Nick is ashamed. Nick has been dating Lizzie Kaplan's character, Julia. And he's been hiding her from his roommates. Well, I think it's the reverse. I think he's hiding you guys from her. Yeah, he's embarrassed of his roommates. That's right. And that he's friends with us. And then so Schmidt's party bus falls through.

I just want to say. No, he's not hiding her. He's not embarrassed of her. She's great. She's great. He's embarrassed of me and you. That's right. Max, all of our characters, not us, our characters, you guys.

But we have, and then Jess decides to step up and throw Schmidt a birthday party. And Jess isn't really who Schmidt wants, let's face it, to throw his party. But I will say, I do want to just like add as an aside that, and I know I'm being scatterbrained, but that David near improvised something that never made the cut about he's like,

You guys are selling turquoise on the side of the road like a couple of dorks. Dorks. Yeah. And I mean, I can't do justice to the delivery, but it was definitely made me laugh very hard and still makes me laugh when I think about it. He was he was improvising a lot of insults. Oh, yes. At a certain point.

So this finds us at the beginning of the episode with Schmidt's very upset because he can't get his party bus. And it's, you know, it's kind of, you know, everything to his DB friends. That's douchebag, everybody. That, you know, having the right kind of party bus. And Jess, the good friend she is, tries to help by getting a party bus, which is actually just a school bus.

And then we find Nick on a date with Julia. And Julia's like, why haven't I met your friends? And he's kind of evasive about it. And he finally agrees to let her meet his roommates. And that occasion to meet his roommates slash friends is Schmidt's birthday party. Boom. Boom. Where there is a stripper. And it's set up that he puts $50 in the douchebag jar that he's never...

put that much in the douchebag jar before. Right. And you... It kind of starts in the future and then goes back to finding out why he put $50 in the douche... It's a mystery episode. It's not the juice bar, but the douchebag. What did he do that was so bad...

that 50 bucks amount that has never gone in the douchebag jar had to go in. And then we flashback to this story. Right. Because if you're a fan of the show, you know, he has said some pretty douchey things, but $50, that's a lot. That's a lot of money. But before we, before we dive into that, Hannah, did you, did you find, did you find the bear? Where's the bear?

So the only mention of the bear when I went to hunt the bear was the stripper asks, I think, if the pole is weight-bearing.

Or a part of the bus. Wait, bearing. This feels like... I'm already off this bear thing. I think we can just establish that the people who are on that train are wrong. I think we can say this. We love you, but no, it's not a thing. I feel like it's so hard for me to let go of it because I'm that person who likes to look for a little space

Easter eggs, yeah. And intention and like, yeah, Easter eggs and everything. Well, I'll tell you this. But it does feel like a...

Here's what we'll do. Here's what we'll do. Because I'm with Zoe on this one. I do think we've been we've been we've been sent on a wild chase here. And we found like half of the episodes don't have a legitimate at all. So what we'll do here for the fans out there, you know, hey, we're going to keep doing it. We're going to keep looking. But if we don't find it, if Hannah doesn't find it and you do find it. That's right. Please tell us because we don't.

Can I just show you my screen though? Can I share my screen with you for a second? Because I will say this BuzzFeed article, I don't have to be careful. It's

You need to be careful. Yeah. Are you drinking wine? What's happening? It's coffee. It's coffee. Why are you drinking coffee out of a wine glass? Well, because I had water in it. I was just trying to get water. It's a Christmas wine glass, everybody. If you know, it's a Game of Thrones wine glass. Oh, and I had ice in this coffee. They're making too much noise. Is that the Game of Thrones theme song? Yeah. It's something like that. I like changed it slightly for copyright purposes. We do not own the rights to Game of Thrones. You know,

You can only have like four seconds. Okay, so I got this BuzzFeed article that popped up. Not that my phone is listening to me at all, but it says, okay, I'm going to read it.

The Office, New Girl and Friends all had amazing subtle details. Here are 42 you've probably never noticed. And then the line underneath is bears are mentioned in every new. No, I don't think. No, no. That's not proof of anything because we've now watched these and I don't believe. Let's get in touch with the writer from BuzzFeed because I know BuzzFeed.

Yeah. Hope. No, I'm going to say this on this podcast now. Hope, I want you to DM me and I want a list. Don't DM me because I will not see it. Um, but DM Hannah, she'll look for you. Um,

Okay. All right. Don't please don't DM him. If you're saying DM, because I want facts. Hope I want to see it because I'm out here in these streets fighting for this. And I need someone to back me up and help me do all this. And I don't think, I don't believe that. I believe like, how would she have like watch all those episodes of, because she probably got an assignment, you know, from Buzzfeed, like,

find a bunch of you know things about shows and then she was like okay cool I'm gonna take these fans word for it which I get because we also did as well but we just haven't found that and we worked on the show for seven years and I don't recall ever noticing that and look there's lots of things I don't notice but I I just look I just feel like maybe some of them are a stretch I

The segment is in the balance, you guys. Maybe we need to find a new fun thing to do. Maybe we need to find a new game. If you want this game to survive, guys, we need some proof. We need proof, and it can't just be Brett Baer's name. Can't be Brett Baer's name. It can't be the bear on the fridge. Yeah. Can't be the bear on the fridge every time. There are three different

Spellings of the word bear that mean three different things. Are we talking about bears? The animals are in every episode or was it like, I can't bear it or the mention of the mention of the word necessities or bear? Like what? What? You know, B.A. B.A.R.E. B.E.A.R. Or B.A. What's the other one? B.B.E.A.R. Wait, B.A.

You okay? No, I'm not. I had the COVID booster shot yesterday and I'm not feeling well. So there's bear. Wait, okay. There's bear as in the animal. There's bear as in... There's bear as in, if you're saying berry for short. What's up, bear? Like $50. That's $20 in the jar, right? I honestly feel like I have a fever right now. Bear the animal. Mm-hmm.

guys b-a-r-e-b-a-r get your booster shot i'm not a good i'm like if you're barely there like you're like just thank you i'm barely here yes okay so barrett bear all are there three different spellings maybe there are only two spellings i can't remember i think there's two spellings there's two spellings three meanings okay yeah yeah

I did go to college, but I don't remember it very well. But it was for theater, you guys. Same with me. Okay, it wasn't a conservatory, okay? I took other classes. It was a hard school to get into, okay, everybody?

But when you got Lori Loughlin on your, no. Northwestern. Yeah. Lori Loughlin was not paying my way in. I'll tell you that much. She doesn't care about me. So this whole episode, guys, is, is, it's a flashback episode. It's a flashback episode, which is very, have we ever done that on this show? Was this the only. There were other ones, but this was the first one where they played with the timeline like that. Mm.

Right. I'm trying to remember what other ones we did that were like that. This was the first, which I like. I like the idea of trying to figure out as you're watching the episode, what is he doing? Because it's Schmidt that's going to flag the $50 penalty. Yeah. Yeah. And you're kind of pinpointing certain things throughout the episode. Like, could that be it? Could that be it? And at the end, I think it's pretty evident what it was. And we'll get to that later.

There was a mention of Frankie Muniz on this episode. I never met that guy, but I was always such a huge fan of his. Yeah, he's great. Yeah. He says Frankie Muniz or something. Yeah. I would love to hang out with him one day. Should we have him on the show? If he's seen the show. We've mentioned you on our show. We would love to talk to you. I want to have some random guests just because I want to meet these people. I'm

I'm going to think of some ways to like really stretch the definition of appropriate guest. Yes. Just people. Just people. All the Real Housewives. If you watch New Girl, let us know. Yeah. Because you know Hannah and I want to. I don't know. Are you a fan, Lamar? I know Hannah is. I kind of. Not really. But I've met some of those folks and they're lovely people. Yeah. Yeah.

In a world where TikTok didn't exist yet, las películas no tenían color. The comedy of a genio mexicano crossed borders y conquistó the heart of America. Da-da-da!

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

We should get back to this episode, I feel like. Okay, let's get back to it. In this episode, there was a... Schmidt, he has this big moment in the kitchen where he's asking... He's telling everyone, like, you know, I dropped the ball on the party bus. You know, this is the big moment for me. I am... I'm 29. This is it. Because once I hit 30, my life is over. It's all darkness, is what he says. And I'm like, I'm not going to do this.

Did you guys feel the same way when you were turning 30? Did you have like this moment, this crisis? No, I was like my life starting. It's been awkward up until this point. And finally, like, I can be normal. That was the way I felt. And I was right, by the way. I have friends who are like younger than me and they were who freaked out about, you know, like recently were like telling me they were freaking out about turning 30. And I was like, welcome to the better part of your life. That's true. That's true. I remember for years.

Like when I was turning 30, I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. And so I didn't want to have a party. I was not interested. I'm going to throw a party. I also am someone who's just not like a party person. So I was like, no, I'm good. And I remember my...

best friend at the time. And it was something that's really sweet that stuck with me where she was like, okay, that's cool. But, um, we love you and we want to celebrate you. And so they threw me a party and it was actually like my 30th birthday party was one of the most fun nights ever. Um,

What was the party like? Where was it? What was it like? It was just really sweet. It was like on a rooftop of some hotel and it was something like I would never do. Like they had like a beautiful dinner laid out and drinks and my parents flew in. I was like essential for Hannah. If you ever throw Hannah a birthday party, the food better be amazing. Yes, the food was good. Like friends flew in from all

over the place and it was all a surprise I didn't know that anyone was going to be there like that like it was it was like a and we all stayed at the hotel so it was like you know like we got to like have breakfast this morning hang out and it was really great but I was so surprised and it changed my stance on the parties y'all I actually had a really fun 30th birthday party too and it was kind of like chill but really fun and the theme was sock hop

And we had like a sock hop and cleared the, had socks for everybody and cleared like the rug out of the living room. And my friend DJed and it was like, it was like, you know, kind of like 50s, 60s rock and roll. And everyone just danced and it was so fun. Yeah.

Good old dance party. How about you, Lamorne? Did you have a fantastic 30th? I mean, it was 20 years ago. Do you remember it? 20 years ago? I was on New Girl. You were on New Girl. I was on New Girl when it happened. And I don't remember, to be quite honest with you. I don't remember.

I'm like, was I working? I just don't remember if I, I would have parties all the time when I, but our birthdays are close together. We're like a week apart. Yeah. So I don't ever, when I be, I'll be honest with you guys. I don't remember. Cause it was a blurry time back then.

I were having parties constantly. That's true. So no parties like the entire time I was on that show. I was so tired. I also went to only parties to do with work. So I remember feeling like I, in retrospect, I remember like you guys both having birthday parties or definitely you Lamorne having it.

Maybe you didn't, Hannah. But Lamorne, I remember you having a birthday party like almost every year and I never could go because I was so freaking tired. It was like right around when we would start shooting. And I feel bad about that. I should have just rallied and gone like a big kid, you know? You didn't miss anything. Yeah.

- Just fun, excitement, intensity, passion, passion, passion, passion. - Like when everyone went to, remember when we all went to Miami for the, to meet the people, the syndication people? We all went to Miami and there was like a party at the Soho House and they put us up in this crazy like clubby hotel on Miami Beach, right? - The hotel where Liv is, Fountain Blue, Fountain Blue. - Fountain Blue.

Like not my scene and every person but me. I mean, I think we had dinner, Hannah, like with Liz and maybe Catherine Pope or something. You know what I remember about that dinner? Yes, you're right. It was the four of us. It was really fun. And a chair broke.

Oh, yes. I just remember that because it was like, it's my worst nightmare to think of being in public and to sit on the chair. Interesting. I don't think that's embarrassing. I think it's hilarious and not embarrassing at all. I don't remember who broke the chair, but. I don't know either. You know what I love about that time? It was on the chair.

When we went out, I went out that night. You guys all went out and went crazy. We went to the club live. Wasn't Maxwell at the club? Maxwell. It was, he was dating a friend of mine at the time. And then he, the Spurs were there, the San Antonio Spurs. And Kawhi Leonard was, was a fan. Kawhi Leonard. I remember going, he kept, he's a very soft-spoken guy and I'm a huge basketball fan. And he leaned over and he goes, I'm a huge fan. And I went, what? And he goes, what?

I'm a huge fan. I said, Oh my God, dude, that's awesome. I'm a fan of yours. And then obviously he's talking about from new girl. I didn't think that he knew me from like a Pepsi commercial or something. So I was like, Hey, look, and I want to say you were there, Hannah. And I remember saying, Hey, this is a, she's, she's on the show. I was like, you want to say hi? And he's like, no, no. He was nervous and scared. You know, I met him later and he was, I was like,

He's very shy and soft spoken. Very shy. Yeah. Yeah. Very, very sweet. Such an endearing quality in a person. I love it. Yeah. I remember about that club is that, yes, the show is on the air and the show is doing well, but we didn't get into that club because of the show. We got into the club because of Damon.

Yeah. Damon walked up and was just like, hey. And they were like, oh, OK, sure. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, we recognize this family. All these random people. Yeah. He's like, oh, a man with Damon. He's from a dynasty. OK. He's from a comedy dynasty. Yeah. I was not there. I remember going to sleep and then feeling like.

did I, should I have gone? But then the next day you guys were all so tired. And, and I was like, I'm, I'm glad that I did. I'm glad I didn't go. But you guys also all knew I wasn't going to go. You guys were like, yeah, not for you. I think I went to bed at like nine, 10 in the morning or something. I remember that too. We were all up to the sunrise. It's so crazy. I,

It's so crazy. I'm actually shocked you went, Hannah. I was actually like, whoa, go. Liz went, I want to say. Liz went. A bunch of people all went except for me. Everybody kind of went. Jake did not go. No. I thought, oh no, Jake was like, I'm going to walk on the beach by myself. I remember that. Yeah.

That's right. In this episode... We're trying to come back to this. This episode is just taking our own flashbacks. A 17-minute detour. We've only talked about...

episode for three minutes well in this episode schmidt talks a lot about his relationship with with uh benhamin david neer and uh which is one of the funniest like i would watch the benhamin schmidt show like 100 every week yeah i mean please i want to produce that multicam yeah oh my god oh my gosh i want to watch it yeah

Have you ever, he mentions their relationship as, he refers to their relationship as frenemies. You ever had one of those? You ever had somebody that you- Oh my God, all girls have had frenemies. Yes. Sure. Oh, definitely.

Where you're like, yeah, this person hates me, but I, for some reason, want to hang out with them. But I need their validation. But for some reason, I'm desperate to hang out with them. Folks out there, make sure you forward this episode to any one of your frenemies. See if they get it. See if they understand what you're doing. Mm-hmm.

He also has good. No, I'm just trying to find this meme. Hold on. Come back to me for a second that I about frenemies that I saw yesterday. And I was like, this is very true, even at this age. OK, continue. So another another. I mean, this is something that.

i don't know guys say i mean we bros before hoes i don't ever remember saying that in my in my in my life bros before hoes just sort of weird to like refer to all friends as bros and all women as hoes like i don't know like you don't have female friends that's weird yeah it's like bros before hoes like my mom also lamorne you have a lot of female friends like i have a lot of females those are like a very yeah those are your bros those are my my

you know, or if I lose his homies. It's kind of a misogynistic expression. It is. And Schmidt, so there's a, um,

I forget who referred, I forget who mentions this. Maybe it's Jake's character when he's talking about it. He goes, what does he goes bros before hoes in yacht? What? Wait, what was on the moon? On the moon in yacht attire. What, what, what is that? Very 2012, um,

douchebag like what people would be it feels like very of that time right like yeah it feels like douchey but also of that time like the in yacht attire feels very 2012 i had boat shoes once well you know what yacht rock is actually a was something that um like basically yacht rock wasn't something that wasn't a moniker that was used like in the time of that music it was like

It was actually, I think, a Buzz... It might have been BuzzFeed or... It was a publication and then also, like, maybe possibly before the publication, somebody dubbed it Yacht Rock. Like, it might have been... There was, like, a YouTube series about that time, but it was actually called The West Coast Sound. They called it The West Coast Sound and it was, like, particular...

It was just a particular, really specific type of music. I think of West Coast Sound. But it was very popular in 2012 because people were making jokes about it a lot. You think of the West Coast Sound as Dr. Dre? It was Dr. Dre. That's a different kind of West Coast Sound. That's the only thing I can hear. That's post West Coast Sound hip hop, West Coast hip hop. Yes. Yeah.

Sorry. Very also great. Great. Love Dr. Dre. You were searching for something. What happened? I couldn't find it. But the gist of it basically was with frenemies was like, I don't talk to anyone nicer or kinder.

than a frenemy because then it makes it harder for them to talk badly about me. Like, oh, I love your coat. Now what you gonna say about me, huh, girl? And it made me laugh because it does feel like to be a tactic.

If you know somebody doesn't always speak nicely of you, if you just keep feeding them with kindness constantly. I have, I have a couple of people like that that I'll see around and I don't know why they don't like me. And I want, I want them to like me and I'm so nice to them. And I always give them compliments and they, they don't like it. I actually think they might not like me because I give them compliments. And I realized like,

They just don't like fundamentally don't like who I am. And that's fine. Right. I'm a big girl, you know, but I'm always like, why don't they like me? What did I do? No. Have we talked about, Oh yeah. You want to talk about it or have we talked? No, I feel like for me, that's like my instinct. If I feel like there's some weird pushback against me. Cause I like a deep dive conversation. So I'll be like, can you just tell me, did I do something? Yeah.

Did something happen? I promise it wasn't intentional. Sometimes the way they treat you is so subtly rude that you can't, like, then they'd be like, no. Usually I'll say that because I'm pretty direct and I'll be like, did I do something? And then they'll be like, no, no. That's so much worse. I know. Usually it's the passive aggressive people that do this to me and I'm not passive aggressive at all. Like I'm...

The literal, like, I don't even know what to do when someone is passive aggressive because I'm very direct and I'll just kind of say what I'm thinking. Yeah. That's what they don't like. I do. I do. Do you? I don't. He's going to be all passive aggressive right now. No, I'm fine. I'm good. I'm okay. I'm good. I have no problems with anybody. No, I have no problems. You're like, it's a lot easier if you just tell us. Just say it.

Just say it. And if you have a problem with me, tell me.

It's all love in my life, you guys. It's all love. Nobody dislikes Lamorne. Nah. I mean, come on. How could they? I am the sweetest man alive. This is the second time today you've shown us that. Not to be confused with the sexiest man alive. How do you have all these available? Oh, I see. It's the backside. I saw Trevor Noah do a thing about the sexiest man alive, which made me laugh. Which is like, why does it only last a year?

Like you're deep. You're not sexy enough. Like he's like, I believe in the same thing. I believe that if you did it for a few years and then it was like, you know what? You lost it.

because like a michelin star you gotta keep bringing the sexy and paul rudd mentions that paul rudd was like so you mean to tell me that michael b jordan is no longer the sexiest man alive right he's like i think it's probably still him like what did idris do yeah what'd he do to get less sexy and he didn't do anything to get less sexy like yeah that man is maintained

I don't understand. That's what people keep saying about me, but I'm just like, nah, I don't want the title. You turn it away every year. You're like, I'd rather be the sweetest man alive on the back. Exactly. I want to be on the back cover because sometimes the magazine drops and falls and people look at the back like, oh. Yeah, and the back cover is yellow and yellow is eye-catching.

Exactly. All I kept thinking about when I was watching this episode would be like the pressure of throwing a friend a party that has such a polar opposite aesthetic for me. And like it would fill me with panic of thinking I was getting it wrong the entire time. Oh, yeah. I have some. See, I have for me, I have friends who are kind of gaudy.

like outwardly gaudy, overtly gaudy to the point where I, whenever I, to keep this in mind, whenever I do have a party though, it's really chilled out. It's not like crazy, you know, I don't like expensive gifts or anything like that. People just hang out and, you know, but I have friends who are like, yo, I'm going to throw you a party. And in the back of my mind, I'm like, no, please don't.

please not you not you i don't i don't need that environment in my life i understand you want like a chill party you don't like it to be crazy ostentatious yeah yeah i know i find that a little like i i feel intimidated yeah i want very relaxed people just kicking it like normal all right when we throw you a birthday party we're gonna keep that in mind bare minimum that's what we're gonna do for you found the bear we'll get that we'll

We'll get those cookies with the frosting from the grocery store. Yeah. I didn't say that. I love those. And it'll be a self-decorate. Those are good cookies. It'll just be on a table. In a box. Separate. In a box. Some sprinkles. Do it yourself. Pre-made. Nothing says Le Morn on it. It's just generic. Yeah. The thing that I found to be interesting. I'll reuse some tablecloths for my son's birthday. Yeah.

You want Finding Nemo theme? Okay. I thought- I'll reuse old shower curtains as your tablecloth.

The thing that I like about this episode is you had mentioned earlier, we had some cool guest stars, Matt Besser. Oh my God. I, you know what? I love Matt Besser. He's so hilarious. Oh my God. One of the, one of the four fathers of improv. Yes. He's a legend. The stripper. The stripper. And also he plays the stripper. Yeah. And he does it very, very well. He's like, oh, well we heard a female voice. So we, they sent me.

Have you all ever had to do that? He's one of the founding members of Upright Citizens Brigade, everybody, which is a very famous sketch improv. It's second in line to Second City. There's Second City, then there's UCB. And there's Groundlings. There's like the three of those. Yeah, the Cornerstones. Have you all ever found yourself having to hire a stripper?

- Nope, I've never seen a stripper. I've never been to a strip club. I've never been anywhere where there's been a stripper. - Stop it. - No, I'm serious. - Really? - Yeah, no, I don't really, I've seen naked people before. - I have a slightly traumatic story. - Uh-oh. - Which I will share quickly. - Your time in college? Sometimes I gotta pay the rent. - I was in college and I remember,

The girls that lived in my dorm were like, hey, you want to come out? We're going to go to this bar. It's ladies night. And I just thought that meant like, oh, I'm going on my girlfriends for like a girls night. I didn't realize that that was a term being used in bars for what the setup was that I was going to walk into. So we go there and I didn't notice, but it was all women. We're all there. And it's like dollar highballs.

And so good. So good. So everybody's for like 10 bucks, you get 10 drinks. And so everybody's drinking and having a good time. And then all of a sudden there were these like very respectable, lovely men at the park, like at the club that we're walking around. Okay, fine. Normal to like, of course, there's gonna be men and women at the place in suits.

And they're like walking around and they're chatting to us. Businessmen. Just a regular businessman. And only a handful of them. And they're chatting and this guy's talking to me about like, oh, college. And he's trying to get himself through what he's doing. And I was like, oh, that's a very nice guy. And then all of a sudden...

The lights went really low. And these men had since disappeared for a few minutes. And all of a sudden, they were standing there naked. This is my nightmare. Do you understand? And so I'm going, that's the sweet boy that's trying to get into school. Like, that's the guy who's applying for school. And so I'm sitting there. And I'm like, what? And all the women have gone totally crazy and are screaming, like, take it.

And they're removing the last piece of clothing and they're chanting, take it off. And I have now run to the back of the bar, like Blair Witch Project, facing the wall. In the corner. Just going, keep it on. Please keep it on. Oh my goodness. Bradley, keep your clothes on. You don't need to do this. You're a good boyfriend. You're better than this. You're a good boyfriend. Run away with me. Run away. It was the, and I was so traumatized. And then they did whatever they did because I could not watch it because I was terrified.

I had no idea what was happening. I was so horrified. I had no idea what was happening. And then at some point the music stops, they leave. And then this is the other crazy part. Then all of a sudden, hundreds of men flood into the bar. Right. So what they had done is it's only ladies. And then the male strippers come and they get you drunk and they get the men naked. And then those men leave after they've done their thing. And then all of a sudden,

Oh, like the dudes that have been lined up to get into the bar. And they think you guys are like, oh, just like DTF. Is that? I guess. Hannah, I'm sorry to break this to you. I was in a taxi going home. All these men came in. I was like, I'm out. This is. Hannah, I'm sorry to break it to you. You were at an orgy. That's what it sounds like. It sounds disgusting. It was in Vancouver. I was at UBC at school. Just because it's Canadian doesn't mean it's not dirty. Okay. That's what I'm saying.

We're not the only weirdos down here in the States. That's the only time that I have been in a situation where there was a male stripper. And let me tell you, even though I didn't see anything for more than one second, still traumatizing that memory to this day.

Well, you know, Hannah, I love that for you because life is about experiences and I'm glad you experienced it. Well, you've never seen any strippers, Lamorne. So you don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm still like hoping, you know, for that day where a friend invites me to a, what is it called? A club of strip? That's right.

A ship of club. Le Club. Yeah, Le Club. That's the only time. And you know what? Respect his choices. He was doing his thing. He was fine. This was more just about me being in a situation where I did not expect anything like that. I thought I was hanging out with my girls. He was probably like,

Or at least like happy because he's like, oh, I get to make money and just take my. Oh, OK, that's fine. He was probably fine. I'm sure everybody was very happy with the situation. The male strippers and the ladies that were there. I was just surprised. He's like, I get to take off my clothes and not get arrested. Incredible. This is legal.

So riddle me this, Hannah, after watching the episode and after having gone through this traumatic experience, how well of a job did Matt Besser do embodying a male stripper? He did great. A gospel male stripper. He was proud of his profession. He was sharing the wisdom and the wealth. So where is CeCe?

So for season one, in the first chunk of episodes, I was only nine for 13. So I was only hired for nine of the episodes out of 13. And so I remember reading the script and I thought it was so funny. And I was like searching because I was like, oh, I can't wait to be part of this. This is so great. And my name never showed up. And it was interesting because they were like...

No, you didn't get paid. That was the thing. I remember them kind of talking and they were like, look, they're watching the budget of this show because it's an expensive show. So they can't just put you in for fun because that's a, you expanse it.

I will say something that I remember that I kind of mentioned at the beginning of this episode until we went off the rails. So this episode we went and we're shooting on this mountaintop. And if you know LA, you know that we have this thing called a marine layer that sometimes we just get clouds that roll in and make everything foggy so you can't see. So we were shooting. We had this beautiful, it was supposed, it was like the Tuscany themed like, yeah,

It was Tuscany themed or something like that. And when we got to the location, which was in, I want to say, kind of Griffith Park area or something. It was like in the Hollywood Hills. All of a sudden, whereas when they scouted the location, you could see all of Los Angeles twinkling lights.

For miles and miles, you could see like not even three feet in front of you when we got to the location. So it was so foggy and it no longer looked, you know, romantic. And it was just kind of a weird foggy location. And all of our my hair gets really frizzy in the fog. And I just remember my hair was like blowing up and frizzing out. Me too, girl. Yeah.

And so they kind of had to change that. In the original script, there was like a whole thing about a Tuscany theme. And that's why there's like charcuterie and cheese plates and stuff is kind of like Tuscan. I love how Winston couldn't say charcuterie. Yeah. And I'm not sure if that was in the script. I'm not sure if that was in the script or if I actually in that moment couldn't and just made a bit out of it.

I don't remember. I don't remember. But I've I or never heard the word until then. I want to say I've never used that word before until that episode. And I was so lost. Charcuterie. That's the right way to say it. But now you're an expert. I have so much charcuterie around the house. Eating it and saying it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's part of my nighttime ritual.

In a world where TikTok didn't exist yet, las películas no tenían color. The comedy of a genio mexicano crossed borders y conquistó the heart of America. Da-da-da!

Guys, should we play True American? Yeah. Should we drop in before True American? What made him put 50 bucks in the jar? I can't remember. He tried to kiss you. Oh, that's right.

I watched it last week because I thought we were doing this last week and I had the COVID booster and now I'm just, I'm a bit tired. Which I kind of thought was a cool thing that that was the thing where everybody was like, we have boundaries. Don't do that. Yeah. Don't do that. Just because you're having a weak moment, you can't just start like,

Trying to make out with your friends right now. I do remember laughing hysterically that Max had to pretend to make a move on me. It just was like a funny thing because Jess and Schmidt should never be together. As we know. All right, we're going to play the wonderful game that is called True American. Welcome to True American, where the rules change weekly and we leave more confused than we showed up. This week we're playing...

Alexander Hamilton versus Aaron Burr's Jeopardy. History's greatest frenemies. Guess the frenemies the clue describes. Okay. You guys want to start? So clue A. These reviewers decided the fate of movies with a flip of a thumb. But behind the scenes, they often flip a different finger at one another. Siskel and Ebert. But they didn't like each other.

I didn't know this. I didn't know that either. That breaks my heart. Roger Ebert came to my defense once a long time ago. Really? Yeah, there was someone who kind of

wrote like I won't go into it but somebody wrote like kind of a mean thing about me for no reason was not like I didn't do anything and um and I kind of wrote a response and Roger Ebert this was right around the beginning of New Girl and Roger Ebert came to my defense and so I always remembered how kind that was of him that's nice yeah that's really nice yeah that's awesome all right um I'm

I'm very surprised by that revelation about Siskel and Ebert. I had no idea. I want to know, is it that they disagreed on movies enough times? Because, you know, sometimes you're so passionate about a topic that you can start to feel angry at somebody for disagreeing with you about something trivial. Or maybe they weren't actually frenemies. It was just their characters that were playing because they were going against each other. Except that they worked hard to hide it. So...

Do you guys want to know the answer? Yeah. Oh, who was it? They're just very different. They're just very different types of people. Ebert is like

a party person and like always around people and very like warm and friendly kind of guy like you can catch him at bars in Chicago a lot um and Siskel's just a quiet dude and they have very different opinions and there's a lot of behind the scenes footage of them on their show like bickering back and forth in a way that you can only do with someone you've known forever and like kind of love but also like this guy um

It's sweet and you know overall it's love but they definitely had like really intense tips with each other. Interesting. So like introvert extrovert just not vibing. Did one of them pass away? Was it Gene Siskel? They both did. They both passed away. And Roger Ebert has now passed. Yes. Yeah. Siskel. Yeah. Because it was Ebert had another had a show with Ebert and Roper right? Roper. Yeah. Yeah.

I always appreciated the very simple rating. Thumbs up. Yeah. Thumbs up and thumbs down. I don't need a scale of one to 20 and the whole thing. Just say yes or no. I like that too. I like that too. I think that was kind of what made it. So we got it right. Yeah, we got it right. We got it right. So it was really that they were very different people. They were very different people, but that's probably what made the show great.

Okay. Clue B. Lemorne. One was an heiress. The other worked for her. Then she began a new reign all her own.

I know this one. What is this? Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Oh, I wouldn't know that. But I, you know what? I've never met Kim Kardashian, but Paris Hilton is so nice. Yeah. Have you guys met her? No. No, but she married a guy from my high school. Oh, wow. I sat next to her at a party and she was so nice. So, so nice. So nice. Carter Reham, not so nice to me in high school. Oh, really? Oh, dear. Yeah. Well, he's probably nice now. He kicked a soccer ball at my head.

What? Yeah, he was a bully. All right. We're going to take this up. I'm sure he would apologize at this point. Yeah, he was a bully. All right. I can remember that vividly. Is that true? That's very true. He was on a soccer team. Do you think he meant to do that? Yeah. Yeah, he did it on purpose. That's not nice. Because I kicked it back at him and then he chased me and then I ran. Oh my God. Well, she's lovely. Well, maybe she's getting him in line.

Maybe she's getting him in line. I'm sure he's a lovely guy now. We were in high school. That was a long time ago. Not everybody's best. Not our best years. Okay. Hannah, you want to go? Sure. Clousey, probably the inspiration for the phrase stabbed in the back. Is this Julius Caesar and Brutus? Whoa! Is that right? Would that be right?

You know what's so sad is that my mind went to OJ. All right. That's my time, y'all. I'm out. That's where my mind went. I don't know why. I don't think you were frenemies at that. I think you were enemies. Yeah, that would be enemies. Yeah. Like something had to happen for you to let it go. You know.

Is that right? Is that correct? Yes. Yes. Okay, great. Julius Caesar Marcus Junius Brutus. Yes. Yes. Thank you. I do know some things. I don't know about Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, but I do know about Julius Caesar. Okay. All right. Last one, Zoe. These founding fathers went from friends to enemies and eventually shared a death day. I should know this.

but i don't know that i do is it um um oh my brain isn't working today um i'm out i can't do this um yeah is it um okay who is the second president of the united states i'm like my brain's not working right now um adams washington adams um is that right

John Adams. Okay, wait. Jonathan Adams. Jonathan J. It's not Jonathan. There's no Jonathan. Oh, John Adams. Okay, we got one right. John Adams and George Washington. Is that it? That's what I'm thinking, but I could be wrong. No. Oh, it's not. Hancock?

John Adams was, because I watched that movie about, or the miniseries about John Adams. I don't know nothing about American history. I'm not going to lie to you. Is it Thomas Jefferson? Is it Thomas Jefferson?

No. Oh, it is. Hey! Adams and Jefferson. Adams and Jefferson. Teamwork. That was some teamwork. Thank you. It's that my brain doesn't recall names as quickly as it used to before I had kids. I hope some other people relate to this. Some other moms. Hannah, does your brain remember as well? No. I don't remember what I had for breakfast. Yeah. Thank you. So at least I'm not totally crazy. But yeah, Adams. I knew it was. I'm like, who's the second president? I know. But yeah.

Yeah. Thomas Jefferson. That's why we got a band together. Well, we did it, guys. We barely did it. Another episode of True American. I feel like
