Speaker 1: la Uh. Hannah is in somewhere in bumpfuck Africa on
Speaker 1: a little vacation.
Speaker 4: Okay, folks, you are just tuning in, It's seven am
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, and my dear friend Lamourn agreed to
Speaker 4: get up early to record our podcast because I I'm
Speaker 4: on a little Greek island and there is a ridiculous
Speaker 4: time difference, and he's a very good friend.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're in a Greek island, does.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Living.
Speaker 4: You know what is actually kind of interesting is like
Speaker 4: I had a real moment. I was with some friends
Speaker 4: yesterday and they very fancy I have friends, and I
Speaker 4: was like, uh, sorry, guys, I gotta go home and work,
Speaker 4: and they were like, oh, like what do you What
Speaker 4: are you working on?
Speaker 2: And I realized My.
Speaker 4: Answer was I have to go home and watch New Girl,
Speaker 4: which sounded crazy, but then I realized I had this
Speaker 4: moment as I was walking home, I'm like, how lucky
Speaker 4: are we? We got to make this incredible show that
Speaker 4: got that stayed on the air because well, listeners like
Speaker 4: you loved the show and watched it, so we got
Speaker 4: to keep making it. And now I get to go
Speaker 4: and like, watch this great show again because of listeners
Speaker 4: like you. It's like, it's no work at all. It's
Speaker 4: just like the greatest thing in the world. And to
Speaker 4: call it a job that I had to go home
Speaker 4: and work, I realized how ludicrous it was because I
Speaker 4: just got to go home and watch an awesome TV show.
Speaker 4: And then the next part of my work was hanging
Speaker 4: out with my bud the next day to.
Speaker 2: Talk about it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting you and I see things totally different,
Speaker 1: you see. Okay, you're right, the show was fun and
Speaker 1: it was well, you're right, it didn't feel like work
Speaker 1: at the moment. But let me tell you something, folks.
Speaker 1: Right now, it was three thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2: It's seven am. It's actually almost seven thirty.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. When you do it mathematically, of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you look at a watch, at a watch.
Speaker 1: You're numerically then yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2: If you're looking at a clock.
Speaker 4: Okay, we should dive into this week's episode because it's
Speaker 4: by far one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: It's called Parents.
Speaker 1: Oh, this one was great. This was great. This one
Speaker 1: we have, you know, it's interesting. I as I was
Speaker 1: rewatching it, I realized, my goodness, we had Jamie Lee Curtis,
Speaker 1: we had Rob Reiner, we had Rob wriggle h and
Speaker 1: we had love More and Morris.
Speaker 2: The Humble there and Morris.
Speaker 1: That's what they say? Am I missing? Am I missing? Anybody?
Speaker 4: Can I just say, do you remember the moment that
Speaker 4: you found out that it was Jamie Lee Curtis and
Speaker 4: Rob Reiner playing Jess's parents?
Speaker 2: Because I do.
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't tell you exactly where I was
Speaker 1: in that moment, but I could tell you I was
Speaker 1: freaking out. That was I was so nervous. I was
Speaker 1: excited at the idea, but I was more so nervous
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of
Speaker 1: these two Hall of famers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember exactly where it was. We were in
Speaker 4: a we're shooting models at the big what do you.
Speaker 2: What's the word? Where we where? We built the club
Speaker 2: set in a big what's the word studio, yes, warehouse
Speaker 2: and a big warehouse and a big warehouse downtown. It
Speaker 2: was grimy and.
Speaker 4: I walked over to Video Village in between setups and
Speaker 4: I just heard Liz chatting with I think Breton Dave
Speaker 4: and they were so casual about it, and I was like,
Speaker 4: what's going on and they were like, oh, we just uh,
Speaker 4: we just got confirmed who as soon as she next
Speaker 4: week as Jess's parents, and I was Jamie Curtis and
Speaker 4: Rob Erinder and they were so casual about it. I
Speaker 4: thought it was a bit like I thought, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like they were just they were making
Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 2: And I looked and I was like, are you serious?
Speaker 4: And I had to walk away because that's when I realized, like,
Speaker 4: this show is a powerhouse. Oh yeah, they're gonna come
Speaker 4: and just like hang out and do these these.
Speaker 1: Bit what weird ridiculous bits on our show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so crazy, and they were so incredible and
Speaker 4: cool and kind, and it was like taking a masterclass
Speaker 4: every day with the stories they would share.
Speaker 1: Oh well, so speaking of stories they would share, Rob
Speaker 1: Reiner was back, you know, back in the day he
Speaker 1: was on a little show called all in the family
Speaker 1: m HM, and he played the son of Archie Bunker
Speaker 1: and his dad. Archie Bunker used to always call Rob
Speaker 1: Reiner a meathead. That was like the thing. Every episode
Speaker 1: he would call him a meathead. I I would get
Speaker 1: the brilliant idea to in a scene with Rob Breiner,
Speaker 1: improvise and call him a meathead, thinking it would get
Speaker 1: a laugh out of him, thinking that he would chuckle
Speaker 1: in his belly and think, man, this young actor is
Speaker 1: on his way. He's genius with this remark that I've
Speaker 1: never heard before the first time, first time. So I
Speaker 1: did it. Man. This man stared a hole through me.
Speaker 1: This man stared a hole through me. And the look
Speaker 1: on his face was if you don't sit your punk ass.
Speaker 2: Down, no, there's no way.
Speaker 1: Yes, Rob is so nice.
Speaker 2: I'm sure. He looked at you like he's not going
Speaker 2: to make the show nice strike you.
Speaker 1: No, he looked at me like he had heard that
Speaker 1: for thirty forty years, said, you are not reinventing the
Speaker 1: real young man. I was. I was hurt. I was hurt.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. He's so sweet. I've bumped into him a
Speaker 2: couple of times now and he always treats.
Speaker 4: Me like I'm like a long lost daughter and and he's.
Speaker 2: Just always so like.
Speaker 4: Doing it's so sweet and genuine. What if I am
Speaker 4: what a dream that would be Jamie Lee Curtis And
Speaker 4: when she won that oscar, didn't you just feel like
Speaker 4: some sort of weird, like deep like it's just it's weird.
Speaker 2: When it's someone you know. I was just like some
Speaker 2: proud like she was.
Speaker 1: I know. That was one of the coolest moments, you know,
Speaker 1: seeing seeing that her own stage, was seeing that squad
Speaker 1: on stage for that film. Yeah, well shout out to
Speaker 1: Harry Shume Jr. A former Fox Family Harry, But yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: he was on that stage. I sent the video to
Speaker 1: him and record the whole thing. He didn't respond.
Speaker 4: It's a big time time because we had to just
Speaker 4: dive into like talking littlebout Jamie Lee and Rob because
Speaker 4: Rob Ryder, it's not your homie because it was such
Speaker 4: a huge moment for a show to get them. But
Speaker 4: now we're gonna get into the episode.
Speaker 2: You want to talk about it a.
Speaker 1: Little more, Let's talk about it a little bit. So
Speaker 1: here's the deal. It's our traditional Thanksgiving episode in the
Speaker 1: Loft and divorced parents mean two separate thanksgivings, unless, of course,
Speaker 1: you're trying to parent trap your folks back into a
Speaker 1: loving relationship. Joan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Bob rob Reiner
Speaker 1: are polar opposites, and as an audience, we have a
Speaker 1: hard time envisioning them ever being together. But Jessica day
Speaker 1: she will stop at nothing to get her parents back together.
Speaker 1: She reveals her father was dumped, knowing her mom will
Speaker 1: try to comfort him, and then Jess plays an old
Speaker 1: standard song that they love and sparks start to flying.
Speaker 1: CC tries to remind Jess of all her previous attempts,
Speaker 1: but when Jess sees the beginning of a spark, she
Speaker 1: ropes Nick into honey potting her mother. They sing romantic songs,
Speaker 1: they flirt over the turkey, but Nick forgets he's playing
Speaker 1: the game and develops feelings for Joan, who everybody loves
Speaker 1: Jimmy d Curtisy. Sorry I said it in such a
Speaker 1: deep voice, y'all, but you get my point. Meanwhile, Winston
Speaker 1: decides to have a little fun with the two Schmidts.
Speaker 1: Loft Schmidt's cousin, Big Schmidt, arrives in town, recently divorced
Speaker 1: and is ready to prove there's only one true Schmidt.
Speaker 1: Winston encourages the men to wheelbarrow, burp and Donkey raise
Speaker 1: their way to a champion. But when Ottawa's phyxiation enters
Speaker 1: the picture, lof Schmidt claims a new kind of man,
Speaker 1: the post Clinton man who enjoys a cheese played, likes
Speaker 1: to exfoliate and expertly cut vegetables. Unfortunately for Loft Schmidt,
Speaker 1: Big Schmidt was the Marines Chef of the Year in
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. He will do anything to prove
Speaker 1: he's the manliest, so CC jumps in and claims the
Speaker 1: manliest thing a man can do is be confident in
Speaker 1: his manhood. So whoever can kiss a guy wins the competition.
Speaker 1: CC offers up Winston this tribute without him knowing what
Speaker 1: was coming. Big Schmid really needs a win, and he well.
Speaker 1: He attacks Winston's face. He attacked it, y'all, He attacked it.
Speaker 1: Though he wins, he realizes after kissing Winston's lips that
Speaker 1: he really just misses his wife. Bob misses his wife too.
Speaker 1: Jealous of Nick's flirting and court and raw turkey juice,
Speaker 1: Bob and Joan head to the bathroom to get cleaned up.
Speaker 1: They share a spicy, spicy kiss, A spicy kiss some
Speaker 1: would consider more than that. Unfortunately, Jess sees and convinces
Speaker 1: herself that they are getting back together. Over dinner, just
Speaker 1: reveals she saw them in the bathroom doing dirty stuff,
Speaker 1: and Bob and John make it clear that they're never
Speaker 1: getting back together. Despondent just dumps the turkey in the sink,
Speaker 1: which my mama would have slapped the dog pis out
Speaker 1: of me if ifor done something stupid like that. She
Speaker 1: brewin Thanksgiving for everybody, damn it now. Later, she tells
Speaker 1: her mother that she's scarce she'll end up alone because
Speaker 1: both of her parents are single. JOm reminds her divorce
Speaker 1: is a part of life and her life is not predetermined.
Speaker 1: She could have a great love or do a Gray Gardens. Comforted,
Speaker 1: Jess says goodbye to her parents. As they leave the loft,
Speaker 1: we see that Jess's parent trap wasn't completely ineffectual. In fact,
Speaker 1: it might have been sexual because they look up in
Speaker 1: the elevator and promise not to tell Jess. And that's
Speaker 1: what happened on episode two, Await Parents.
Speaker 4: Let's dive into this episode because I have been really
Speaker 4: excited to talk about the idea of split holidays.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, going through that now, I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to get emotional. I don't want to get emotion.
Speaker 1: Christmas away from my baby.
Speaker 2: Holidays.
Speaker 4: I grew up having split holidays, and I remember I'm
Speaker 4: having conversations with kids at school who were so jealous,
Speaker 4: so jealous because my parents were divorced that I would
Speaker 4: have two Christmases. And it was like I was the
Speaker 4: cool girl because of it. Because the two Christmases. I
Speaker 4: remember being like, Wow, that was actually a very nice gift.
Speaker 4: I realized from like the kids at my school, I
Speaker 4: don't think a gift, but psychologically at the time, I
Speaker 4: was just like, I guess I'm winning.
Speaker 1: Well, technically technically you were. I mean double gifts. That
Speaker 1: doesn't it's like double vacations. Yeah, wow, that's interesting. That's
Speaker 1: interesting because as I'm co parenting, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: it is a strange thing. My daughter definitely gets multiple holidays.
Speaker 1: That because I also I feel like like when she's
Speaker 1: at her her mom's side of the family, let's say
Speaker 1: on Christmas that she would spend it with both, I
Speaker 1: would feel this urge to buy her two presents as well.
Speaker 1: She's over there with them that I don't want them
Speaker 1: to think I didn't get her a gifts. I want
Speaker 1: to send a gift.
Speaker 2: Yes, you got to represent over there too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I won't keep my foot down in their household.
Speaker 1: And then I have presents here. You know, what a
Speaker 1: what a trick, what a scam this little girl did.
Speaker 1: She thinks she's.
Speaker 2: Slicked, Well, Jess does not feel that way.
Speaker 4: Jess wants her parents back together, and it's been scheming
Speaker 4: about making this happen for.
Speaker 2: Years and years and years.
Speaker 4: We get a great flashback scene of a young Jamie
Speaker 4: Lee Curtis and a young Rob Reiner, which made my heart,
Speaker 4: saying because they looked amazing, and I feel like there's
Speaker 4: a story. Jamie Lee Curtis told him on set that
Speaker 4: they're like they are truly, Jamie Curtis and Rob ran
Speaker 4: are like the oldest of friends, right, And didn't Rob
Speaker 4: Ryan or Mary Jamieie.
Speaker 2: Curtis and Christopher Guest he married. Yeah, she hated the ceremony.
Speaker 2: I should say, I don't.
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa progressive.
Speaker 2: Progressive?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna marry you?
Speaker 2: You're like legit besties.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I wonder it was like a package deal thing.
Speaker 4: We should ask Liz if like when she called and
Speaker 4: asked and Jamie Curtis was like, I'll do it, and
Speaker 4: robbed Rob like if I get to hang out with
Speaker 4: Jami Lee Curtis all day, she's my best friend.
Speaker 1: If it was what they called Rob Wriggle and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'll do it only if you get Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 1: And this is a question for you. Have you have
Speaker 1: you ever been in this situation before.
Speaker 4: What trying to parent tat my parents. I do feel
Speaker 4: like there were moments where I felt like.
Speaker 2: It'd be so great they were back together.
Speaker 4: I think every kid kind of has the thought and
Speaker 4: there needs to be like a big conversation from the
Speaker 4: parents to explain the reasons why that's not going to
Speaker 4: ever work and why that's in the best interests of everyone.
Speaker 4: And then I think that's like the big moment at
Speaker 4: the end where she kind of gets it, when they
Speaker 4: kind of go like, this is it's better for everybody.
Speaker 4: We're all happy. If you're worried about our happiness. If
Speaker 4: you think that we're unhappy apart, we're happier apart which
Speaker 4: I thought was like really beautifully woven into you know,
Speaker 4: a comedy that's great lesson.
Speaker 1: Well that great lesson which we knew was BS because
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't find out that they are still
Speaker 1: slapping below the belt.
Speaker 4: You know what's funny, but that too. I was thinking
Speaker 4: about it. They do this thing, and I'm you know,
Speaker 4: it's not like they were writing later seasons at the time.
Speaker 4: They're writing episode to episode to episode with like season
Speaker 4: arcs in mind. But they make a real pointed, you know,
Speaker 4: moment of showing that Nick Miller and.
Speaker 2: Bob are the same person.
Speaker 4: They even use the same like terminology of like you know,
Speaker 4: you ruin everything, you ruin everything. They shout out the
Speaker 4: hallway at Bob and that's exactly what Jess says to
Speaker 4: Nick is what Jones says to Bob separately. They do that,
Speaker 4: and then I was thinking about, like the elevator hookup
Speaker 4: is like the big Nick.
Speaker 2: Jefs moment hookup.
Speaker 4: Big elevator hookup where they like declare their love and
Speaker 4: decide they want to be together, just like her mom
Speaker 4: and dad look at life.
Speaker 1: It's almost like expected, yo, It's almost like we had
Speaker 1: brilliant writers put in.
Speaker 2: This wrote it.
Speaker 4: No, but I don't think that they were thinking. I
Speaker 4: just wonder that's a good question to go back. I
Speaker 4: guess I'm when the text is an ask her because
Speaker 4: I'm like, did you when you thought about where are
Speaker 4: they going to have this iconic kiss? Was it that
Speaker 4: in mind? That that was like, you know, the relationships
Speaker 4: you'd also been hoping and dreaming for was her parents
Speaker 4: and they had iconic kissing.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, you know, being on the show, you're in
Speaker 1: it for so long, you don't realize some of the
Speaker 1: themes they're putting together. I mean, sometimes you do. When
Speaker 1: you can sit back and read an episode, a theme
Speaker 1: will just pop out with you know, on you and
Speaker 1: sometimes the theme is you know, somewhat in the title.
Speaker 1: But in this one, it was interesting. I had no
Speaker 1: idea that that was one of that that was a
Speaker 1: situation they were going for, that that was something they
Speaker 1: were trying to connect until just now, until you mentioned it.
Speaker 4: And that's what this podcast is important, the epiphanies you
Speaker 4: have a decade later when you rewatch it, you're like,
Speaker 4: hold up. They also, I feel like if I caught
Speaker 4: it this time watching it, I've never caught it before.
Speaker 4: Where I feel like they planted the seed for the
Speaker 4: first Winston cc aha, because there's like this under the
Speaker 4: breath muttering that really made me laugh.
Speaker 2: Of what are you doing? I'm bored?
Speaker 4: Yeah, worth it, let's go for it, and then it's
Speaker 4: thread runs until.
Speaker 1: It all Winston.
Speaker 4: Yeah, backfires on you, which we have to get to
Speaker 4: because I mean, I've always wanted to know what it's
Speaker 4: like to kiss a large, strapping man like Rob Wriggle
Speaker 4: and you have the experience.
Speaker 1: Well, I could tell you it wasn't like the other times.
Speaker 1: This one was unique.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It was so funny in that moment because Rob was
Speaker 1: trying to like map out how he was gonna kiss
Speaker 1: but not kiss me. So fun fact, folks, we never
Speaker 1: touched lips. So if you're wondering, if you're thinking about
Speaker 1: asking Rob how soft my lips are, he can't tell you.
Speaker 1: He gotta come to the source. But he did this
Speaker 1: thing where he took his thumbs and he put his
Speaker 1: thumbs over my lips and then he grabs the side
Speaker 1: of my face with the rest of his fingers and
Speaker 1: then kisses his own thumbs. So Rob, if he were
Speaker 1: to assume what my lips would feel like he'd probably
Speaker 1: say thumbs. He is kissing his own fingers, so yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's a.
Speaker 2: Very very funny moment.
Speaker 4: I was like, I forgot, I was like, who ends
Speaker 4: up kissing made out?
Speaker 1: That's right, that was his first kiss on the show.
Speaker 2: I feel like there was also like a sweet C. C.
Speaker 4: Schmidt moment where she kind of helped Schmidt out because
Speaker 4: he can't figure his way out of this situation with
Speaker 4: his cousin. This is also a very great episode for
Speaker 4: lots of people breaking, which always makes me laugh because
Speaker 4: that means there wasn't one single take where the person
Speaker 4: could keep it together.
Speaker 2: And the all day, all day, all day Max is
Speaker 2: a mess.
Speaker 1: Max is you could clearly see him visibly laughing. He's
Speaker 1: just like, screw it, I'm gonna laugh. I it was
Speaker 1: it was I think in that moment, I want to
Speaker 1: say I had either pitched the all day thing no way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive I did.
Speaker 2: It wasn't on the page. There was no all day
Speaker 2: ever written down.
Speaker 1: You know, I can like I can do this all
Speaker 1: day yeah. But then I think I screamed like oh.
Speaker 2: D and then it became.
Speaker 1: An yeah, and they just kept going back and forth
Speaker 1: with each other. Hucle I want to say that was me,
Speaker 1: and I want and you know, and I would love
Speaker 1: your thanks and your praise. If you're out there, I'm.
Speaker 2: Given to you. It's an iconic moment. I mean, I
Speaker 2: feel like the other big breaking moment that made me
Speaker 2: or I.
Speaker 1: Didn't or I think or I completely made that up sorry,
Speaker 1: or I just did not.
Speaker 2: There's no way to fact check. There's no way to
Speaker 2: fact check it.
Speaker 1: We'll go with I did.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go with it. We're just gonna save here.
Speaker 2: That was you. I didn't turn a line into a moment.
Speaker 4: The other favorite breaking moment that had me laughing and
Speaker 4: caught me off guard was Rob Reiner.
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
Speaker 4: It's when it's when the two Schmidts are showing how
Speaker 4: they would grind on Joan Oh yeahs, and they obviously
Speaker 4: could not get a reaction shot a Rob not just
Speaker 4: laughing at how committed and dumb those boys, and it
Speaker 4: made me laugh so hard.
Speaker 2: I love it because it's so funny.
Speaker 4: Because you think as an actor, like, oh, and you're laughing,
Speaker 4: you're laughing, You're not laughing like in character or whatever.
Speaker 4: But when you know people so intimately, you can actually
Speaker 4: tell when their smile is like a choice in a
Speaker 4: scene or it's their real smile.
Speaker 2: And it's so subtle, and I couldn't if you gave
Speaker 2: me ten.
Speaker 4: Hours and the full dictionary to go through to describe
Speaker 4: with the differences, I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2: It's just something, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I love if you ever see me
Speaker 1: in a scene that doesn't call doesn't call for it,
Speaker 1: And it's a lot if you pay attention to this
Speaker 1: episod So actually, this this entire series, there's sometimes I'm
Speaker 1: delivering a line with a smirk on my face, Like
Speaker 1: if me and you know, Winston and Nick are getting
Speaker 1: into a slab fight and Winston has a bit of
Speaker 1: a smirk on his face, That's not how my character
Speaker 1: is supposed to be doing it. I'm laughing. I'm laughing,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying not to be laughing. I laughed so
Speaker 1: much on this show, and I think they capture a
Speaker 1: lot of it too, not to me. I think that
Speaker 1: I think Liz found that to be funny when people
Speaker 1: were breaking character and laughing, and we'll keep it in
Speaker 1: the show often first.
Speaker 4: I mean for me also, like I used to say,
Speaker 4: it was like the Queen of eyeball acting, because I
Speaker 4: feel like in season one they didn't give me a
Speaker 4: lot of dialogue.
Speaker 2: There was so much going on.
Speaker 1: You start, you start saying, hey, guys, gotta get more lines,
Speaker 1: and they go, holy shit, you speak English.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't know what, but I do remember when I,
Speaker 4: you know, was in scenes, it was always something like
Speaker 4: cutting someone was like saying to me or about Jess
Speaker 4: or whatever the thing was, and it was my natural
Speaker 4: reaction to roll my eyes right or to give like
Speaker 4: a death stare. That is just my natural resting face
Speaker 4: and my natural reactions, which then became such a part
Speaker 4: of CC because I'd be just sitting there for hours
Speaker 4: and then I would just watch, you know, Jake make
Speaker 4: the dumbest, funniest choice ab how to like, you know,
Speaker 4: shove a turkey into something, and I would just like
Speaker 4: roll my eyes. That's the way I respond if I
Speaker 4: find something funny. That's what my face does.
Speaker 2: The show. And then it was like, that's that's a
Speaker 2: CC thing, and it's like, no, that's just me.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, oh okay.
Speaker 4: Here, here's actually the big question about this this Parent's episode.
Speaker 2: Have you ever watched Parent Trap?
Speaker 1: I have watched it. Oh I haven't. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan.
Speaker 4: No, I mean I know of it because it's such
Speaker 4: an iconic movie. I know of it so intimately. I
Speaker 4: thought i'd watched it, and then I went and like
Speaker 4: read the synopsis and I'm like, oh, no.
Speaker 2: I just think I know it.
Speaker 1: We'll never watch Parent Trap. Well, it's an iconic tale
Speaker 1: about a young girl who will stop at nothing to
Speaker 1: get her parents back together. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Or she could have a twin. I don't remember.
Speaker 2: There's definitely a.
Speaker 4: Twin, because that's what CC says to her. She right,
Speaker 4: She says, oh, it's parent Trap. Oh no, Nick says it.
Speaker 4: It's parent Trap, but without the twins or the mistaken identity.
Speaker 4: It's just a makeover you're doing right now to see
Speaker 4: if you can get your parents to go.
Speaker 2: There's no parent trapping that really is happening. She just
Speaker 2: likes the movie and then tries.
Speaker 4: To get her parents together, which also makes it so funny,
Speaker 4: because I feel like little kids do that where we
Speaker 4: think we're doing something but it's in no way actually related.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's a fun fact about me, and
Speaker 1: it's going to get very very dark. In a second,
Speaker 1: I did not care. I did not care to get
Speaker 1: my parents back together. Let's go to commercial. Wolcome shoes,
Speaker 1: and we're back from commercial for just tuning in. I
Speaker 1: had no cares to get my parents back together, as
Speaker 1: they did in the classic film Parent Trap.
Speaker 2: Sorry you're just coming back. My computer is garbage and
Speaker 2: we're started out.
Speaker 1: She got this so much. Also, a fun fact about today,
Speaker 1: two things. One is that it is now three fifty
Speaker 1: seven in the morning. And also, Hannah, for the longest time,
Speaker 1: she's had the exact same laptop that she did when
Speaker 1: we started a New Girl.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Actually it's you had to dial up laptop.
Speaker 2: The modem connects.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, So we were talking a little
Speaker 1: bit about, you know, Jamie Lee Curtis and the effect
Speaker 1: that she had on us on the show. That moment,
Speaker 1: that moment she's in the kitchen cooking, you know, or
Speaker 1: basing that turkey with Jake Johnson. That that was powerful.
Speaker 1: That was a sexy moment.
Speaker 4: It was a very sexy moment, and it was one
Speaker 4: that I could believe that, you know, It's like those
Speaker 4: moments were the character and then the actor, like the
Speaker 4: Venn diagram. Those are moments of crossover. I feel like
Speaker 4: that could have happened to Jake Johnson.
Speaker 1: You think Jake Johnson, not Nick Miller. You think Jake Johnson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: could have made love to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 2: No, but I feel like you could have got a
Speaker 2: little lost in the sauce in a sexy moment where
Speaker 2: you go like, what am I doing? I think I'm
Speaker 2: feeling somethings. It can happen to any of us. It
Speaker 2: can happen to any of us.
Speaker 1: One minute you're based in the Turkey. Next next minute
Speaker 1: you're based in that ass.
Speaker 4: Definitely now and I'm trying to think I will saying
Speaker 4: it's the holidays, having a few drinks.
Speaker 2: Things could happen, That's all.
Speaker 4: I just thought it was believable. But Zoe's reaction like
Speaker 4: that she makes as just in that scene is so funny,
Speaker 4: where she's like grabs him, snatches him away. She's like,
Speaker 4: you ain't about to become my stepfather.
Speaker 2: Let's move something. What's happening today?
Speaker 1: He did become daddy though.
Speaker 4: Okay, oh, this was my other thing I noticed during
Speaker 4: the episode. Okay, when when Nick and Boba on the
Speaker 4: couch talking and they're talking about ze for Zombie. Am
Speaker 4: I right on this right? And he says that the
Speaker 4: hold and I have to call up my notes. My
Speaker 4: nose is jumped. He says, Carol the zombie and Carol.
Speaker 4: Do you think they chose a name Carol to be
Speaker 4: short for Caroline, Like he's like kind of like thinking
Speaker 4: about his acts.
Speaker 1: I think so. I think one hundred, because you know,
Speaker 1: we find out in the later episode that he can't
Speaker 1: spell rhythm, right, which is alluding to the fact that
Speaker 1: Nick Miller has no rhythm.
Speaker 2: No rhythm. That's not a shock.
Speaker 1: I think it's all connected.
Speaker 2: It's all connected.
Speaker 4: I feel like the true like easter eggs of this
Speaker 4: whole show all lie with it and Zeus.
Speaker 1: For Zombie, probably probably because I feel like I feel like,
Speaker 1: for some reason, I only remember the Zeus for Zombie
Speaker 1: in later seasons. I didn't realize that this was a
Speaker 1: thing from the beginning. Like again, going back and doing
Speaker 1: this podcast, I was like, my god, zombie has been
Speaker 1: around for a long time.
Speaker 2: M h, it's been around from the beginning. They really did.
Speaker 4: That's like, when we get Liz back on this show,
Speaker 4: maybe at the end of the season, I.
Speaker 2: Want to be like, how much did you arc out
Speaker 2: the series?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? Like that elevator kiss, Like,
Speaker 2: how much did you arc out this series? Or is
Speaker 2: it one of those things that when you look back
Speaker 2: you can find connection points that make it make sense.
Speaker 1: Well, when you're doing imagine, you're dealing with the same, uh,
Speaker 1: the same core group of writers, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And sometimes your brain, when it's active to tell a joke,
Speaker 1: you go in a certain direction, and so they probably
Speaker 1: when you're writing a certain style or techn you're probably
Speaker 1: tapping back into very similar thoughts that you had along
Speaker 1: the journey, and you probably don't remember. So you're right,
Speaker 1: you probably go back and you can connect them and
Speaker 1: they probably weren't done intentionally, but because it's coming from
Speaker 1: the same brain, you know that maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: M I like the theory.
Speaker 1: You like the the theory, and I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: it's not a theory.
Speaker 2: You're like, this is far science, it's a fact.
Speaker 1: This is a fact. There's nothing theoretical about what I said.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the theory of like figuring out what's
Speaker 4: going on a New Girl. Whether these things that kind
Speaker 4: of all come back together.
Speaker 2: Mmm, this Parent's episode. We're going deep, you guys, We're
Speaker 2: going deep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, because you know I had a rough relationship
Speaker 1: growing up, So we gotta tap in because right now
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get a breakthrough in my emotional state.
Speaker 2: There is no part of you ever thought your parents
Speaker 2: should get back together, even when you were little.
Speaker 4: We're not going to go there, going to take all
Speaker 4: of that in the back of the closet.
Speaker 2: We're going to close the door. We're not going to
Speaker 2: go there.
Speaker 1: We don't have to go there.
Speaker 2: That's not go there.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, here's I just want to talk about one
Speaker 4: of my favorite quotes is in this episode. I didn't
Speaker 4: really realize it came from this episode, which is from
Speaker 4: Nick Miller, who I feel like I could have said
Speaker 4: this a thousand times in my life.
Speaker 2: Do I regret it? Yes? Would I do it again? Probably?
Speaker 1: Probably.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a lot of LFE though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we listen they say you learn from your mistakes.
Speaker 1: No we don't. We don't. We love the way that
Speaker 1: mistake felt and so ourselves back there.
Speaker 2: That's right, the happy mistakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because what we think, we trick ourselves to think
Speaker 1: that the outcome will be different. You know, the quote
Speaker 1: should be you should be learning from your mistakes because
Speaker 1: we should, but we don't because we stupid.
Speaker 2: It is you, It is you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know. One thing that I found interesting about
Speaker 1: this episode is the idea of of and this is
Speaker 1: because of our mess around the idea of what being
Speaker 1: manly is. You know that. I thought that was a
Speaker 1: very interesting thing to go through to talk about in
Speaker 1: the show. And it was almost like they were like
Speaker 1: bordering some lines a little bit whatever. I was everything
Speaker 1: a comment easy now. I know this is twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: There's a different back then, like easy now. You know
Speaker 1: some of the things that felt like were happening in
Speaker 1: this episode. And I'm gonna I'm gonna say something that
Speaker 1: we could probably cut it just because this is a
Speaker 1: story that I needed to tell about. This moment. This
Speaker 1: my friend, uh, some friends from high school who hit
Speaker 1: me up. They sent me a text and they were like, dude.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like kind of like a congratulations slash.
Speaker 1: We never knew message it was man. We just it's
Speaker 1: been going around that that you know, you're you're bisexual,
Speaker 1: not not gay, but bisexual, very very It was I
Speaker 1: was like wait what okay? I was like, well, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 1: And are you being serious? It's a joke because it's
Speaker 1: a bit. I was like, you know, I'm not have
Speaker 1: my I got my ladies. I was in a relationship
Speaker 1: at the time, and they go uh. I was like,
Speaker 1: what will make you say that? And he goes, well,
Speaker 1: everybody's been talking. You know we watched the that last
Speaker 1: episode of your show and you know you kissed.
Speaker 2: Get out of town.
Speaker 1: I started crying loud, like.
Speaker 2: Do you understand how fictional stories work?
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what, Oh my god?
Speaker 2: I was in tears.
Speaker 1: I was in tears where that's that's I remember. That's
Speaker 1: the one thing I took away from this episode is
Speaker 1: that but it's like, there's a rumor about you based
Speaker 1: on this episode of television. And I was like, you
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Where by going home to every
Speaker 1: summer you know what's funny?
Speaker 4: Though there's a lot of we shouldn't get that it's
Speaker 4: so funny. I feel like there's been like so many
Speaker 4: like moments where you realize what people are watching. There's
Speaker 4: there's difficulty in separating it from reality. Because I remember
Speaker 4: when there was like the big C. C. Schmidt breakup
Speaker 4: like people would like run to like shove themselves into
Speaker 4: an elevator with me and be like out of breako
Speaker 4: and like please please take Schmidt back.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And I'd.
Speaker 4: Be like, I Wow, Okay, how do I explain this
Speaker 4: to you? Because you're very distressed. I'm I'm not CC,
Speaker 4: Max is not Schmidt. It's a story, and I don't
Speaker 4: even write the story.
Speaker 2: So I can't. I can't even in this story make
Speaker 2: it happen for you.
Speaker 4: On multiple levels, on so many levels, I cannot help you.
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm getting off on this floor. I feel
Speaker 2: like I've left you worse than I found you. I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry. Thank you for watching closing the pressing the
Speaker 2: close the door. Bu. But it's true. There's moments where
Speaker 2: people blur it.
Speaker 4: So I'm sure seeing Robrick will kiss you there was like,
Speaker 4: well against.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, that's an interesting thought, you guys,
Speaker 1: Harry Stute. This is also something interesting about this episode.
Speaker 1: I do believe this was the episode where so Rob
Speaker 1: Wriggle big Schmidt is showing that he can he can,
Speaker 1: he can he can do his thing in the in
Speaker 1: the kitchen right, and he's got this knife and he's
Speaker 1: just chopping and he's just going ba man, man, man man.
Speaker 1: Fun fact, I believe that the person there was a
Speaker 1: stunt person doing the chopping there was. It wasn't Rob
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the hand to knife stuff. For
Speaker 1: safety reasons, he could do it, but for safety reasons,
Speaker 1: they had a stunt person do it. This stunt person, Damnar,
Speaker 1: chopped his whole finger off and was bleeding all over
Speaker 1: the place in this episode, and I just thought to myself, man,
Speaker 1: they hired you to do this, and low and behold anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't know why that. I hope he's okay. I
Speaker 1: do hope he's okay, But if not, I hope they
Speaker 1: give him a cyboard hand.
Speaker 4: I will say there's a couple of things I just
Speaker 4: would like to share as we kind of wrap up
Speaker 4: this episode about Jamie Lee Curtis, just because I was
Speaker 4: such a huge, huge fan of hers, not just because
Speaker 4: of the work that she had done shout out to
Speaker 4: true Lies love that movie, but because she had many
Speaker 4: years before, had a photo published of her in her
Speaker 4: like braun underwear where she said, I'll do this photo shoot,
Speaker 4: but you can't retouch my body.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to look like.
Speaker 4: My body, and it was like it was like disruptive
Speaker 4: to the whole game because everything had been retouched and
Speaker 4: people posed in certain ways and certain angles.
Speaker 2: And did the thing.
Speaker 4: And it it was as a young girl seeing that
Speaker 4: image something I can I can see it now.
Speaker 2: It just was so important to see what a real
Speaker 2: woman's body looked like. She was. It was just so powerful.
Speaker 4: And so when I found out that she was coming
Speaker 4: on said because she was also this role model to
Speaker 4: me for doing that, I was so nervous. And she was,
Speaker 4: by far, in my life, one of the most down
Speaker 4: to earth kind and fully like in herself, knowing herself,
Speaker 4: kind of humans I've ever met. I remember, because she was.
Speaker 2: She was talking to me about so we're talking about
Speaker 2: like philosophy and life, and I told her that, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm from half Indian and had she ever been to India?
Speaker 2: It just felt like she'd been to India. I remember
Speaker 2: she looked at me and she was like.
Speaker 4: No, and I have no wanderlust, no wonderlust at all,
Speaker 4: no desire, you know. And I remember just being so
Speaker 4: taken aback because how most people speak. If you say like, oh,
Speaker 4: have you ever been to wherever, India, China and whatever.
Speaker 2: People go like no, but like maybe one day or
Speaker 2: I'd like to. It's just like a natural reflex we
Speaker 2: have as humans.
Speaker 4: And for her to be able to lovingly but knowing
Speaker 4: herself and going nope, and I have no interests because
Speaker 4: I don't have wanderlust was another huge lesson from like
Speaker 4: the Jamie Lee Curtis Book of Life.
Speaker 2: I feel like where I was like, oh, yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't have to think that someone's going to take offense
Speaker 2: by your own truth. Just say it. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go.
Speaker 2: I love her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see that. That photo that just you
Speaker 1: know that you said was retouched over and over and over.
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that.
Speaker 2: Fun never been retouched, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, yeah, I have never seen that photo. But
Speaker 1: I can tell you I personally know what it's like
Speaker 1: to be retouched over and over and over again. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: I am in the streets again, y'all. I'm a single
Speaker 1: ready to be touched and then retouched.
Speaker 2: This is what happens.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is why this podcast has just become a
Speaker 4: mess around. I'm talking about body positivity. Female empowerment about it,
Speaker 4: touch about it.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm all about it. Feel empowered to retouch. I'm lonely,
Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to tell everybody out there.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, episode it's getting emotional for you. It
Speaker 5: is extremely lonely, Hannah.
Speaker 1: Often on this show we talk about a certain we
Speaker 1: have a certain topic on the show that we dive into,
Speaker 1: and oftentimes you deliver, but oftentimes you fail.
Speaker 4: Oh Hannah, Okay, Hannah, Okay, Yes, I know what you're
Speaker 4: gonna say. I know what you're gonna say, and listen,
Speaker 4: hold up, because I know the bear the bear.

Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So every time, every every single time you're doing Where's
Speaker 4: the Bear, all I can think about is Sein filled.
Speaker 4: There was purposefully a superman in every single episode.
Speaker 2: This is confirmed. It was on Jeopardy. But the thing is,
Speaker 2: in so many episodes it was just the same Superman
Speaker 2: statue on Jerry's bookshelf. Justice for Fridge Bear. Okay, he's there.
Speaker 4: He's not appearing in every single episode, but he is
Speaker 4: in episodes with no other Bears. Coincidence, I think not
Speaker 4: it sho didn't have to be a different bear in
Speaker 4: every episode. Anyway, Girls, my favorite show of all time.

Speaker 4: and I quote it all the time.

Speaker 4: me cluting, Rebecca, that's ballid, So Fridge Bear this episode appears.
Speaker 1: Are you Are you retroactively going back to all the
Speaker 1: times you let the fans down, all the times you
Speaker 1: left your co stars hanging in anticipation to find this
Speaker 1: damn bear. A you mean to tell me, to tell
Speaker 1: me that you're retroactively going back to place the bear
Speaker 1: in the moments you failed us, so you can have failed.
Speaker 4: Us from the Jamie Lee Curtis Book of Life. Okay,
Speaker 4: I stand in my truth. I've always said fridge Fair
Speaker 4: when there was no other bear to be found, and
Speaker 4: I've always said it's a valid bear.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that a lot of other people are
Speaker 2: echoing back that.
Speaker 4: That is valid and truthful and has been used in
Speaker 4: different ways on other shows that are iconic.
Speaker 2: So it counts bear.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go out and get our merchant. The
Speaker 1: new one is going to say the bear is on
