Speaker 1: What keeps a baby's skin healthy A diaper that doesn't
Speaker 1: leave the skin wet. That's what. Now. My baby, you know,
Speaker 1: she's just like every other baby. She leaks and she's
Speaker 1: not shoy about it either. She drinks so much water
Speaker 1: and she releases whenever, wherever, especially in her sleep. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it's hard to keep up. Now. What makes
Speaker 1: swaddlers overnight so great is that they have twelve hours
Speaker 1: of protection. We're talking leak proof. That's right, Superub's orbit.
Speaker 1: It's even got a wetness indicator to let me know

Speaker 1: Ring Ring, May I please speak with Zoey? Oh Hello,
Speaker 1: lamar Let's patch in Hannah, God, I forgot what it
Speaker 1: was like working with you guys, hey man, thank you
Speaker 1: for being here, Thanks for having me. Guess good seeing everybody.
Speaker 1: So good to see you. How are you? You have
Speaker 1: a new show coming out in the midst of the
Speaker 1: press for it, Um, I'm having a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's exciting. It's called an angle on it that you
Speaker 1: haven't told any other press outlet. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: ask a question, because like, I'm not a journalist, but
Speaker 1: just give us a weird angle. The angle on it
Speaker 1: is and the reason I wanted to do it. Within
Speaker 1: the pilot, there is a section called a Penis montage
Speaker 1: because we do we do. We're anudy magazine. We're essentially
Speaker 1: like the first play Girl, and I'm the publisher of it,
Speaker 1: and we need to find the man all centerfold. And
Speaker 1: so I read in the script that there was gonna
Speaker 1: be a Penis mong tige. See what that looked like?
Speaker 1: And what like was a group of as we all know,
Speaker 1: extras are the greatest people on every set of all time.
Speaker 1: But now I saw almost no underpands on Like it
Speaker 1: was like thirty five dudes or something like that who
Speaker 1: were wanting to be in the show and get a
Speaker 1: bump for showing their penises, just one naked dude after
Speaker 1: the next time, so it was it's real. It's not
Speaker 1: like prosthetic. Those were real hawks, um, And it was
Speaker 1: probably the hardest I've laughed in a really long time
Speaker 1: because the immaturity spikes and you're trying to be professional
Speaker 1: and cool like a long haired dude and take off
Speaker 1: his underpands and you're staring his on. It brought out
Speaker 1: the true twelve year old in me and it was
Speaker 1: scream funny. So the show is really great. It's really fun.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for people to watch it. So I just
Speaker 1: want to know what music that panis montages, so it's
Speaker 1: all hits from the seventies, which you'll love. I love
Speaker 1: it already. Yes, So the music was great, but obviously
Speaker 1: what was like when it's cut together, it feels way
Speaker 1: smoother because obviously, as you guys know, there's never music
Speaker 1: while you're shooting. So the sound over the montage was
Speaker 1: the slapping of guys hitting their own butts and sting
Speaker 1: their thighs, with me going like this when a d
Speaker 1: s being like, everybody keep it together. The next guy
Speaker 1: is Carl and me being like, don't make an appropriate joke.
Speaker 1: Don't make a joke. Don't make There's like an intimacy coordinator.
Speaker 1: They're trying to like make sure you're professional and you're
Speaker 1: making her heard. Yeah, And then when you're sitting there
Speaker 1: being like, don't left, don't left, don't leaf, don't laugh.
Speaker 1: And then there's like a bigger guy with the ponytail
Speaker 1: and being like hello, everyone, nice to meet you. And
Speaker 1: then he takes his shirt off, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: cannot believe on God's great Earth take The fans have
Speaker 1: been the fans have been messaging me ever since the
Speaker 1: announcement of your show. They've wanted to know how many
Speaker 1: times in this show do you show your hog? Every episode?
Speaker 1: About forty times? You know, this is a dream role
Speaker 1: for you. This is oh yeah, they're building this thing
Speaker 1: is kn't Kong to n okay. Only. The only thing
Speaker 1: that could be worse than coming on set and having
Speaker 1: to pull your hog is that what we're calling it
Speaker 1: right now? Your hog out is then to have um,
Speaker 1: the big fancy actor of the show look at it
Speaker 1: and then laugh hysterically. Yeah, yeah, not wrong. Now. Then
Speaker 1: the problem was the kind of guy who's willing to
Speaker 1: show his hog, and the most part he's got something
Speaker 1: to show. Song at somebody where you would go, hey,
Speaker 1: at five ft four about a hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: pounds with long, greasy hair, well done, I have judged
Speaker 1: you correct not washing his hair right? Yeah. I learned
Speaker 1: about seeing the amount of genitalia in the person is
Speaker 1: that you really can't tell you. There is no like indicator.
Speaker 1: It's not like, well, that's a thick bodied man. Therefore, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can people look at me and they judge me correctly?
Speaker 1: I will say, you know what I mean? What is that?
Speaker 1: What is correctly? Strong? But it's fast. I get the
Speaker 1: job done quick. But myself. Your wrists, yeah, I have
Speaker 1: dainty wrists and skinny fingers, a massive biceps. You've got
Speaker 1: swarms in you you've been working out? Hell? Yeah, don't.
Speaker 1: I'll try to get my life together. Yeah I have.
Speaker 1: I have. Would you like to say, my hug, sure
Speaker 1: what this happened? Now? Yes? I would love it if
Speaker 1: you show it. Incredible. Speaking of how about Ralph in Passing?
Speaker 1: What a sad thing he was in his nineties, by
Speaker 1: the it's amazing. I thought he was a lot younger
Speaker 1: and one of the mystery on my card. I thought
Speaker 1: he was in his seventies. Yeah, you remember your first
Speaker 1: scene with him, Jake? Uh, Yeah, I was there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was so uh. You know, he doesn't talk on
Speaker 1: screen obviously, as we all know and they all know,
Speaker 1: but he was a really present actor and he was
Speaker 1: joking in between. So it's funny being part of it.
Speaker 1: There's such a different take than people watching him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really a solid actor. And you know, obviously it seems
Speaker 1: like it's a bit because he doesn't talk, but we
Speaker 1: all know there's people who don't listen in scenes, and
Speaker 1: there's people who listen. Yeah, he was so good even
Speaker 1: he didn't talk. But I'm shocked, meaning he was probably
Speaker 1: late eighties while he was doing that. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm in my late eighties. There's no chance I'll be
Speaker 1: doing anything Ralph in his nineties is me and my fifties. Well,
Speaker 1: get used to Jake now because it Man, I am
Speaker 1: on the farewell tour, Like we didn't you have something
Speaker 1: to do with him being on the show, Like, wasn't
Speaker 1: it your idea for that character? It was a soft
Speaker 1: pitch I want. I pitched Liz that I think it
Speaker 1: would be really funny if Nick went to a park
Speaker 1: and had a magical friend who never talked but Nick
Speaker 1: believed he could hear them so that you could get
Speaker 1: like exposition out from Nick. But they came up with
Speaker 1: the whole pitch of that episode where Zoe and I
Speaker 1: go in like the hot tub. That was all the writers,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what really made the character. But
Speaker 1: I just Nick having a character who never talked back
Speaker 1: but Nick could hear. That was what I remember was
Speaker 1: that that episode on the page was not working yet
Speaker 1: and they were like it ended up being such a
Speaker 1: good episode, was like the first one that Ralph was
Speaker 1: on and then um they were like how about you
Speaker 1: guys getting a hot tub? And we're like what so
Speaker 1: much that show was like that though, of like, well
Speaker 1: we figured it out. Yeah, if you're if you're just
Speaker 1: tuning in, folks, we are talking to Jake Johnson. He
Speaker 1: was a cast member on New Girl. Do people tune
Speaker 1: in halfway through podcast? By the way, we're gonnation. We
Speaker 1: might have for a commercials. Yeah, we call it station
Speaker 1: identification stuff. We got we got back. We're back. If
Speaker 1: you didn't. If you didn't, you just decided to skip
Speaker 1: the first it was all about hogs, so you know
Speaker 1: what it was. It was broadcast and started. We got
Speaker 1: we got Jake Johnson from Drunk History Fame. Jake, you've done,
Speaker 1: You've done a lot before we go back to the beginning.
Speaker 1: Let's keep that. Let's keep that. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Dennis Farina, another another actor that you got to
Speaker 1: work with. He played your father on New Girl. UM
Speaker 1: in the spirit of UM, I mean, one of the
Speaker 1: more iconic actors that we have in our in our universe. UM,
Speaker 1: God rest his soul. Jake, please tell us the story
Speaker 1: of Dennis and Max Greenfield? Sure? Can we tell that story? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. But do you remember them? Mourned that.
Speaker 1: It was a big moment where because you guys obviously
Speaker 1: remember rehearsals, we didn't overly commit as actors. And now
Speaker 1: that we've all done, you know, at that time, I
Speaker 1: hadn't done a lot of more. I hadn't done as
Speaker 1: many jobs. But you start seeing the scripts were being rewritten,
Speaker 1: so we were reading them for the first time. A
Speaker 1: lot of the time we would get pages and it
Speaker 1: would be the night before and we'd be walking into
Speaker 1: rehearsal and I viewed it on that show. Is that's
Speaker 1: just the first time we're doing it? But when we
Speaker 1: were doing Virgins, and do you remember how committed Dennis
Speaker 1: Farina was to rehearsals. And we remember that there was
Speaker 1: a scene we did on like a bed where he
Speaker 1: like gives us a talk and the crew applauded after
Speaker 1: a rehearsal because of his performer. Remember being like, they've
Speaker 1: never done that before. Resting with you, you were notorious
Speaker 1: for kind of phoning in rehearsals. Um, yeah it was you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make fake news. You. I feel like
Speaker 1: everybody was on the same call, very tired. I was
Speaker 1: profession You were not professional. You. You laughed halfway through
Speaker 1: every take when you initiated improv walking into a scene.
Speaker 1: The scene would be he would be starting and he
Speaker 1: would go his line would be like the waters here,
Speaker 1: and you would go, hold on. I just was. I
Speaker 1: just talked about this in an interview. They said, like,
Speaker 1: ask me questions about what you remember from the show.
Speaker 1: I said, I remember having anxiety because going into a
Speaker 1: scene with Jake Johnson, I would go, I know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do a bit, and I know I'm gonna laugh,
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna kill me. I said, I
Speaker 1: know he's gonna kill before he's gonna kill me on camera.
Speaker 1: It's like those were some of the best days, but
Speaker 1: also the worst because I was like, damn it, man,
Speaker 1: you're a professional. You're supposed to be able to handle this.
Speaker 1: You're one of the few guys that you would break
Speaker 1: midway through your own bit before you got it out.
Speaker 1: So even if it was funny, it would be like,
Speaker 1: if you can't get through it, just say then you
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. You haven't even done to take yet, Jake.
Speaker 1: I want to say you're one of the most committed
Speaker 1: people to long term bits I've ever met. I give
Speaker 1: you the same thank you which time. We're still over
Speaker 1: text doing bits that we started on the first season
Speaker 1: of New Girl, and I still will try to make
Speaker 1: those bits happen with other people. What are you talking
Speaker 1: about is the uh we when we start off pretending
Speaker 1: to be fake managers and trying. Yeah, that was and
Speaker 1: I are still doing it. I don't know how personally
Speaker 1: about families and stuff like that. I'm fine with you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you tried to sign my kids. Yeah the photo of
Speaker 1: ton of daughter doing a funny video, So I just
Speaker 1: want to letter know I did sign your daughter. I think,
Speaker 1: right before she was born. I'm boarding your son. Take
Speaker 1: I'll take Jonathan too, he's a hun the whole group.
Speaker 1: I know it's a little and do your contract is
Speaker 1: really bad. That's the thing. I don't do jampers as
Speaker 1: a manager. I don't do tampers of the work, and
Speaker 1: you don't take cultures on their behalf or anything. It's like,
Speaker 1: I'm busy with my own ship, to be honest. But
Speaker 1: so it started out with us both competing to sign
Speaker 1: Max Winkler's dog is three legged German shepherd to a
Speaker 1: conject Hamlet and um, and then it went from there.
Speaker 1: That was That was one of my favorite bits, and
Speaker 1: it's still going on today ten years and and going
Speaker 1: the thing that I missed the most about New Girl,
Speaker 1: um and doing other shows like the show Minx was great,
Speaker 1: but it was only three and a half months so
Speaker 1: and movies are so different. And what's the different about
Speaker 1: New Girl? Which was so crazy? It was how long
Speaker 1: we shocked and then how much press we had to
Speaker 1: do over this summer. Yeah. Actual, from the second that
Speaker 1: show got picked up until we were canceled, we were
Speaker 1: around each other so much. That just doesn't happen in
Speaker 1: my professional life. Anymore. Yeah. Yeah, it was like you
Speaker 1: guys were my family. I saw more than my family.
Speaker 1: For me, it was by in the first couple of years,
Speaker 1: I lost my mind because I was not used to
Speaker 1: You then get used to it and you figure out
Speaker 1: how to be. But it would be like you I
Speaker 1: remember waking up exhausted driving to work. You're there from
Speaker 1: the dark to the dark, and then as soon as
Speaker 1: you have to come back and then they would be
Speaker 1: like some email from todda dere at publicity being like
Speaker 1: good news this weekend we had another event at twentieth
Speaker 1: century to something like holy sh it, man, it never
Speaker 1: ends really quick before we before we get into the
Speaker 1: actual interview, because all this was just bullshit. Um, Jake
Speaker 1: tell us the Dennis Farina's story with Max. Um. The
Speaker 1: Dennis Farina's story with Max was he came on, he
Speaker 1: was very we going back to the long term bits, right,
Speaker 1: we were all in bits and me and Max's bit
Speaker 1: that we really still do together as well is that,
Speaker 1: uh it's kind of who can out dumb the other, right,
Speaker 1: And where Max is at his funniest is when everybody
Speaker 1: knowing stop, like you know, like he would just hang
Speaker 1: out in my trailer, and there would be a lot
Speaker 1: of times where I'd actually asked him to leave, and
Speaker 1: not because I was mad at him, but just like,
Speaker 1: you know, I just got in trouble about some malts,
Speaker 1: like my brain didn't feel it. I'm so tired. Can
Speaker 1: I have an hour of lunch alone? And he would
Speaker 1: be like no. So we were in that mode, and
Speaker 1: I was in kind of bully mode and we were
Speaker 1: messing with each other. And then I don't remember how
Speaker 1: it started, but we were doing some joke about the
Speaker 1: fact that Dennis Rainey was a real tough guy and
Speaker 1: he was an actual detective. Yeah, he was at Chicago
Speaker 1: detective Yeah. And then Max said something of the extent,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to like, I don't remember all
Speaker 1: the details, but it was something about, like I wonder
Speaker 1: as a detective and you're like doing a steak out,
Speaker 1: Like what do you do if you see like nakedeople?
Speaker 1: I say, like, do you keep steaking out? They were
Speaker 1: cry laugh, you know, and that's like obviously being a
Speaker 1: heightened version of himself, and you know, he's hilarious, and
Speaker 1: I was like dying laughing. Somehow, I think either I
Speaker 1: convinced him to tell Farina or I told Farina and
Speaker 1: we asked him, and we were in such overtired state
Speaker 1: of everything was funny that we forgot who we were
Speaker 1: talking to in Farina did not find it funny or charming,
Speaker 1: like the the idea that as a police officer he
Speaker 1: was a peeping tom and he did not see that
Speaker 1: we were being ridiculous, and he aided Max for the
Speaker 1: quitement in a way that didn't come out of Max's mouth.
Speaker 1: And then he either that cocted with you more, either
Speaker 1: that or I sold Max out. I really don't remember.
Speaker 1: It really might have been. It might have been, I
Speaker 1: asked him, and then I said Max wants to know
Speaker 1: remember he hated Max in a way, and that would say,
Speaker 1: like you know, Farina would finish the day, we would
Speaker 1: all shake hands and Matt would be like, he squeezed
Speaker 1: my hand so hard. Well. The thing about Max is
Speaker 1: that like I very rarely would like see him like
Speaker 1: really like ruffled, like he's like a guy that's joking
Speaker 1: around all the time. And whenever Farina would come on
Speaker 1: an episode, I'd see Max like truly nervous. Agree He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Dennis for Annis dame here, Like he doesn't he's not
Speaker 1: a guy who gets serious, but like he was scared.
Speaker 1: But those the annual bits that keep getting heightened and heightened.
Speaker 1: Day after, I'm like, that ship was so funny, and
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm realizing now, like, oh, that's never gonna
Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah, you know, you get like you get
Speaker 1: like I'm sure, I'm like woke, Like you get close
Speaker 1: to the field, but then you're leaving, You're gone first
Speaker 1: song by the time you come back, and then you
Speaker 1: do it, and then you do it press virtually yes,
Speaker 1: so you're like, I don't get to kick it and
Speaker 1: hang out and have to drink and I don't get
Speaker 1: to know you guys inside it out, so we know
Speaker 1: how to press each other's buttons. We know where everybody
Speaker 1: else is. Funny, you then know zones you don't go,
Speaker 1: you know zones you can go. Because it really felt
Speaker 1: like a t Yeah, it was. It was a team.
Speaker 1: It was ladies and gentlemen. We'll be back with check Johnson.
Speaker 1: What keeps the baby skin healthy? A diaper that doesn't
Speaker 1: leave the skin wet. That's what. Now my baby, like
Speaker 1: every other baby, and she's not shy about it either.
Speaker 1: She drinks so much water and releases it whenever wherever
Speaker 1: she feels like it, especially in her sleep. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you it's hard to keep up. Now. What makes swaddlers
Speaker 1: overnight so great is that they have twelve hours of protection.
Speaker 1: I'm talking one leakproof. That's right. Super Absorbent has even
Speaker 1: got a wetness indicator to let me know that that
Speaker 1: thing is full. And I greatly appreciate that, so thank you. Pampers,

Speaker 1: Johnson Um Jake, I remember talking to you in a
Speaker 1: surfer voice for at least three hours straight. Yes, well
Speaker 1: also for seasons you guys, okay, I love you. Guys
Speaker 1: are so stupid. But I would walk in and it
Speaker 1: would be like five in the morning or no, I
Speaker 1: mean I would have been there for like an hour
Speaker 1: at that point. But you walk in for your call,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what are you doing today? Jake? And
Speaker 1: you'd be like, of course, I'm catching lots of ways, bro.
Speaker 1: I honestly think for me, you know. And obviously sometimes
Speaker 1: we all got in trouble for doing too many bits
Speaker 1: on that show. But in watching you know, and seeing
Speaker 1: it come up or people like refinding it, those were
Speaker 1: the fucking bits and that connection is what people really like.
Speaker 1: But we did all make to their laughs. Like I
Speaker 1: remember Lauren's bit was always you would pretend to be
Speaker 1: really confident and stumble over. Your bit came Winston, like
Speaker 1: if Winston was an alpha male who was competing with
Speaker 1: Max about running, and by the end Winston couldn't get
Speaker 1: a sentence out because he would start and do the bit.
Speaker 1: Did I'm set? I'm like those bits on a show,
Speaker 1: like at on Single Cam when you're there and you
Speaker 1: know they were so open to improv and so open
Speaker 1: to changes. I'm like, man, that gave so much to it. Now,
Speaker 1: going into the you know, going into your beginning on
Speaker 1: New Girl, we all talked about our and I know
Speaker 1: this is something that you've talked about in interviews and
Speaker 1: we've all spoken about it. Um, did you see this
Speaker 1: coming in the beginning when you how did how did
Speaker 1: you get onto the show and two did you did
Speaker 1: you think it was gonna be this thing, this chemistry?
Speaker 1: This yeah? So um, I had done. I had met
Speaker 1: Liz Merriweather. I did an indie with Max Winkler called Ceremony,
Speaker 1: and she was edited. She was writing a script with
Speaker 1: her with Liz, Max and Akiva. I think it was
Speaker 1: called The Adventures Handbook, and they were doing it at
Speaker 1: Henry Winkler's house while Max was editing Ceremony. So Liz
Speaker 1: had seen that footage and then she and I got
Speaker 1: to know each other and she put me in No
Speaker 1: Strings Attached. And then when that movie opened, it opened
Speaker 1: number one one weekend, and then it was that Sunday,
Speaker 1: A Shoe texted, uh, Fox just picked up my pilot.
Speaker 1: Would do audition for it, And so I had never
Speaker 1: been close to a TV show. I'd never tested. I
Speaker 1: am not what they call a good auditioner. So I
Speaker 1: was pretending to do call with Liz where I'm like,
Speaker 1: absolutely I would be. I think to my name, I like,
Speaker 1: it depends on the dates. Then, you know, when I
Speaker 1: found out Zoe was the lead of it, I knew
Speaker 1: we had a fighting chance, because at that time, when
Speaker 1: you know, you don't have somebody who could carry a show,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a whole different beast. And so
Speaker 1: we had a we had a true number one, We
Speaker 1: had a true shot. So I thought would number one?
Speaker 1: Some would say number one and a true number four?
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Uh, how did that time? Not at that
Speaker 1: time sign my contract, sir? Thank you, Damon. I actually
Speaker 1: remember you were the only person when because I was
Speaker 1: reading with everybody when once I was casting, you were
Speaker 1: like the only person. I got multiple emails from so
Speaker 1: many friends saying I recommend Jack Johnson for the role
Speaker 1: of Muni. Yeah, it was remember Jeremy Connor and also
Speaker 1: Max Winkler. Yeah. I remember being really nervous for our
Speaker 1: chemistry read because but it's funny, like it's you know,
Speaker 1: I've talked about it and pressed before. But you know,
Speaker 1: you had a big say in casting. You know, as
Speaker 1: the show went on, we became a whole thing and
Speaker 1: it became new. But like we had, we had to
Speaker 1: be approved by you, and it was a really tripute
Speaker 1: thing to be in a scene with somebody and then
Speaker 1: like you know, if you didn't like a cast member,
Speaker 1: we weren't getting in. And it was a really neat
Speaker 1: feeling to be like just and like, you know, I've
Speaker 1: known you well. I knew I was gonna have to
Speaker 1: be with people like a lot, which was true to
Speaker 1: be true, and um, it's cool, like I feel like
Speaker 1: we got like such. I mean, we got so lucky
Speaker 1: with this cast, really, but you knew more about the
Speaker 1: world of uh TV and the business way more than
Speaker 1: I think any of busted at the beginning. And so
Speaker 1: it was really nice to remember when you and I
Speaker 1: did scenes and we both knew it was pretty good, right.
Speaker 1: I think you, like wrote back to Jeremy, he was great.
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I got a real shot.
Speaker 1: I think, well you were really what was cool about you?
Speaker 1: And I mean it's still cool about you. You're so unique.
Speaker 1: You're totally like and and you feel like a real
Speaker 1: like your characters feel like real people that you know,
Speaker 1: you know, and the way that you play Quirks is
Speaker 1: in such a like genuine way like the other than
Speaker 1: I would say, like a lot of people that would
Speaker 1: have come into read for that part. We're more playing
Speaker 1: like at the comedy rather than playing like the reality
Speaker 1: of the situation. And you were like playing the reality
Speaker 1: of the situation. And then it's that much funnier, you know.
Speaker 1: But I remember those early days, you know how much
Speaker 1: we used to text and talk about the characters and
Speaker 1: talk about lamour, And I remember you came to my
Speaker 1: house during your auditions. Max and I used to sit
Speaker 1: around and like literally call each other and like just
Speaker 1: like there was so much passion for making this thing work.
Speaker 1: Then we all just got like season three, we all
Speaker 1: just forgot about it because we're like, we've always done this.
Speaker 1: We all really gave a ship, and those characters in
Speaker 1: those connections, they didn't happen by chance, like we really
Speaker 1: and we all fought for and Liz Merryweather really care
Speaker 1: about that show. I think that's what makes things work
Speaker 1: in general, Like when you really put your all into things,
Speaker 1: tends to work a little crazy. Yeah, but you're right,
Speaker 1: but you have a shot. How does happen? How did
Speaker 1: this happened for you? Jake? I mean, people are so
Speaker 1: complementary of you, obviously, because you're really skilled at what
Speaker 1: you do. What were you doing before New Girl? Why
Speaker 1: didn't it happen earlier? Jake? You were before eight when
Speaker 1: we started this up. I was fifty three years you know,
Speaker 1: I was doing tons of theater and live stuff and
Speaker 1: trying hard. There's a rumor that you were the before
Speaker 1: guy in a Tampex commercial. Was the before guy, I'll
Speaker 1: give me the read of it, Chicken. You know I
Speaker 1: was doing commercials um yeah, And honestly, it's a really
Speaker 1: hard business. I just remember one day we had a
Speaker 1: really like long you know, they on set and there's
Speaker 1: some weird vibe going on and it was just tough.
Speaker 1: I don't know what was happening. Don't remember that part
Speaker 1: of it, but I remember you and I walking back
Speaker 1: to our trailers and discussing it and then taking a
Speaker 1: breath and going, yeah, but we can't forget that we
Speaker 1: won the lottery, And I just remember that it was
Speaker 1: like season one and it was that idea of like
Speaker 1: because it was our first time on a for me,
Speaker 1: especially on a show like that and I and it
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, yes it is. This is challenging and difficult,
Speaker 1: and that's real. Those are real things were experiencing. But
Speaker 1: the big picture is we are so lucky and I've
Speaker 1: wanted this for so long and it's happening, and you
Speaker 1: don't forget that. Really funny, it's funny you say that
Speaker 1: because the pandemic kind of redid that for me. Also,
Speaker 1: it was the new look. New Girl was hard. It
Speaker 1: was a grind. It was great, um, but we did
Speaker 1: big hours and people watching and think like every second
Speaker 1: is a blast. It was. It was a hard job.
Speaker 1: We were trying at a job like we'd work sixteen
Speaker 1: you would we would make you would basically do content
Speaker 1: for a nine hour episode that would get cut down
Speaker 1: every week, and you weren't allowed to recycle bits, and
Speaker 1: we were asked to improvise, We were asked to experiment.
Speaker 1: Liz was working our ass off, our staff was working
Speaker 1: ours off. But I've gotten to a point where, you know,
Speaker 1: I just got burned out with acting, and I forgot
Speaker 1: that feeling of loving it, and you know, because you
Speaker 1: put so many hours in and so m much pressed,
Speaker 1: and you start going like, what the fuck am I doing?
Speaker 1: Just just in all sound stages at the end of it,
Speaker 1: once you pass the magic of it, they're all the same,
Speaker 1: all crews, they're past. And then the pandemic hit and
Speaker 1: it all went away. And I remember that thing you
Speaker 1: were talking about, Hannah, of like doing this is the
Speaker 1: fucking lottery, goofy. If you're gonna do it, like love
Speaker 1: it because when went away, I was very quickly like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I remember who I was before I got
Speaker 1: acting jobs, A fucking weirdo. I was before a guy
Speaker 1: and now and now you've become a professional weirdo. Dare
Speaker 1: I say, Jake, you know a heartthrob um? So when
Speaker 1: did you become Oscar? Isaac? Like, at what point? It
Speaker 1: was after David Krummelt's right, then you are all siblings? Yeah, right, right, right, Well,
Speaker 1: here's the truth of local as there are not just
Speaker 1: the fact that there's a truth about it. Keep going.
Speaker 1: There are every white man with the beard, your hair,
Speaker 1: and they are just a lot of us. Hannah and
Speaker 1: I looked just like like because we both have brown
Speaker 1: hair and bangs. Right. It honestly gets as far as
Speaker 1: that where you know everyone's while somebody there's always like
Speaker 1: a new actor where they're like you're the blank but
Speaker 1: with the dad Bob And I'm like, who is this
Speaker 1: person just talking about a white guy with brown hair
Speaker 1: and a beard that old? We look nothing a lot,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what has I know? We talked about
Speaker 1: the early on in our in our process when we
Speaker 1: do press and stuff, sometimes we get shocked by the
Speaker 1: fan reception of New Girl because we weren't out as
Speaker 1: much we would. We were working so much, We're doing
Speaker 1: pressed so much. And then we go to one of
Speaker 1: these events at t C A S or something like that,
Speaker 1: or an award show, and and you're hit with thousands
Speaker 1: of fans just who who are calling you by your
Speaker 1: character name, who loved the bits they are quoting the show.
Speaker 1: Now there's this reemergence of the show. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's every where. It's almost like we just started. By
Speaker 1: the way, this whole like during the pandemic, New Girl
Speaker 1: got a second life. Yeah, especially a girl. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think now the way that things you know are just streaming,
Speaker 1: people discover them. I think. Yeah, there are like a
Speaker 1: lot of young girls who come up to me and
Speaker 1: they're like, are you still shooting the show? Yeah. They
Speaker 1: think it's a new show and it's something they can
Speaker 1: binge that's not done in a day. Right. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: we made so money, we were in the network model.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's trippy about the new era of
Speaker 1: the Netflix New Girl fans is And I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's generational, but I do feel like men who
Speaker 1: are discovering it now are admitting that they like it,
Speaker 1: and then when it first came out, would essentially apologize
Speaker 1: for liking it. Yeah, like as my big experience that
Speaker 1: I would always find so annoying with another dude. Would
Speaker 1: they'd be like, I'm not a girl. My girlfriend loves
Speaker 1: here's some funny stuff. And I'd be like, thanks, I
Speaker 1: like Schmidt and I don't have to apologize for being
Speaker 1: Like you're literally not in a bar quoting the show
Speaker 1: to me, like you know it more, you're a fan.
Speaker 1: I really like that. Like dudes can say like I
Speaker 1: like it. It's like, well good, it's for everybody. Just
Speaker 1: want to be called new girl. That did not mean
Speaker 1: it was only for girls. Yeah, with the re emergence
Speaker 1: of this show, you know a lot of fans and girls, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and fans you know, because it's new to certain people,
Speaker 1: to a newer generation. People always ask me, happened yesterday?
Speaker 1: Happened the security guy? I was at a Laker game.
Speaker 1: The security guy comes up to me and he goes,
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, man, y'all do it? Uh, y'all doing
Speaker 1: one of the reunions? Yeah, I said, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I have no idea, said y'a gotta do a reunion, man,
Speaker 1: And he goes, He goes, I'm on episode. He goes,
Speaker 1: I just finished that. Y'all did four episodes, four seasons, right,
Speaker 1: I said, well, we got a lot more to go.
Speaker 1: He's like what, And it was like this confusion. You know,
Speaker 1: he thought we had ended that, like season four or
Speaker 1: something like that. He wanted to know if we were
Speaker 1: doing It's a grown man. He wanted to know if
Speaker 1: we were doing a reunion. I gotta put you on
Speaker 1: glassmore because the reason you're telling this long story is
Speaker 1: just to get free Laker tickets. And I think nak
Speaker 1: on the nose. I don't think that security guard existed.
Speaker 1: Jake his Yeah, he did. His name was. His name
Speaker 1: was Johnny. I was at the Laker game where in
Speaker 1: Nike sneakers and then no, that's not that's not vitamin water,
Speaker 1: which I really love, especially Jakey. You gotta stop this.
Speaker 1: You got can I finish telling my story about how
Speaker 1: when I was at the Lago game because I'm a
Speaker 1: diehard fan of the Lakers. Shout out to Lebron James
Speaker 1: and all those guys. Um that free kombucha sent to
Speaker 1: the set. So I don't know that was talking Jake.
Speaker 1: We were like, we both love this kombucha. Let's pretend
Speaker 1: to be a publicist, and so we got we got
Speaker 1: some like you did. I got some because of it,
Speaker 1: That's right. You were like, come to my trailer, you
Speaker 1: will not believe. And there was an entire case of
Speaker 1: healthy kombucha sent for us and then fall en up
Speaker 1: in the past where I'll look at contact us on
Speaker 1: the back of things and I've written, like, hello, this
Speaker 1: is Jake Johnson from New Girl. I played he named
Speaker 1: Nick Miller. I love your sweet and sour ta sauce
Speaker 1: my mind. They would send cases and then we'd have
Speaker 1: too many cases. In kambucha, you got to drink it
Speaker 1: within a month. So you're like walking up there, so good,
Speaker 1: your microbiome is on point. Still, wait, do you still
Speaker 1: drink that? Jake's not as much. I have an addictive personality.
Speaker 1: I get very addictive things. I go really hard on it,
Speaker 1: and then I drink like I was like having like
Speaker 1: nine gambooches a day, and I think I'm turning yellow,
Speaker 1: and I'm like I'm not. I'm done with this trash.
Speaker 1: I don't even like the takes. What are some of
Speaker 1: your addictive websites. But this is the new addiction right now.
Speaker 1: Water water water in the first water got on a day,
Speaker 1: Let's go, gotta do it. You gotta get, you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta have a baby smooth skin. When you gotta
Speaker 1: finish your question, you were asking an important question. I
Speaker 1: was asking an important question. Um. I started off by
Speaker 1: talking about my experience of the Lakers game back. We
Speaker 1: don't need to go over again. Oh we don't have to, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: dot com center, Okay. Would you be open to a
Speaker 1: reunion of the show, like a season? I can't believe
Speaker 1: you're asking this question? You know you know that when
Speaker 1: you get asked that in the morning and you're doing
Speaker 1: what would you say? I say, hell, yeah, yeah, look here, sure,
Speaker 1: who knows. We would need Liz to come on board.
Speaker 1: See what she would be writing. It would be very important.
Speaker 1: Who's directing that? What's the studio behind it? Do we
Speaker 1: do it on Fox? Isn't the streamer? What does that
Speaker 1: actually mean? If we're all on my director's chairs doing
Speaker 1: like a talk, that would be a lot easier. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, is it a series? I have no idea
Speaker 1: in terms of Friends reunion. A fountain and talked about
Speaker 1: the shouldn't do I wouldn't do that. That was funny
Speaker 1: because well, I'm like, if we did that, it would
Speaker 1: be so weird because it only ended like four years ago.
Speaker 1: They're going back to something that ended twenty years ago
Speaker 1: to see the couch from the It wasn't that long
Speaker 1: that that. But Jake, um, so, yes you would. So
Speaker 1: I'm just marking that down. Here, give me a sick so, Jake,
Speaker 1: while Laurens taking the notes. There you do the best
Speaker 1: drunk person of any actor I've ever worked with, and
Speaker 1: I've worked with a lot of great actors. What's your inspiration?
Speaker 1: Not you, Jake, What's what's your inspiration behind that? Growing
Speaker 1: up around drunk people, who's your favorite drunk person? I
Speaker 1: had an uncle Timmy, who was my favorite drunk growing up.
Speaker 1: He was a true old world drunk drunk where you know,
Speaker 1: puking in his hand, put in his pocket on holidays,
Speaker 1: you know, the multiple sweaters at once, the real red face,
Speaker 1: the hoboes, beard um every year on my birthday. And
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it now. It's because it's the
Speaker 1: joke is a long winded one that he would tell
Speaker 1: me the same aim joke, and so it's like a
Speaker 1: little boy, you have to get a call and my
Speaker 1: mom would be like, hey, Jake, it's your uncle Timmy,
Speaker 1: and I'm like hello, maybe a joke and a year
Speaker 1: it was the same joke, but he wasn't doing like
Speaker 1: the deep comedy bit of like it gets funny. After
Speaker 1: ten he never remembered he told me to joke because
Speaker 1: the years went on and I'd be like twelve, He'd
Speaker 1: be like, happy birthday, But let me tell you, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's doing it again. He's yeah. Do you
Speaker 1: think it was specific to you? That? Like every year
Speaker 1: he's like, you know who like this? You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I do know you think everybody got that.
Speaker 1: I did like the joke too, so it might have
Speaker 1: been specific. It was. The long and short of it was.
Speaker 1: It was how to get an elephant into a hole
Speaker 1: full of ashes. The first thing you gotta do is
Speaker 1: you gotta get an elephant. Once you steal that elephant,
Speaker 1: then you gotta dig a hole the size of three elephants.
Speaker 1: And then you gotta burn a bunch of paper and
Speaker 1: fill the hole up with ashes. Then you gotta take peanuts,
Speaker 1: and you gotta align them all the way around this hole.
Speaker 1: So the elephant goes and once it gets to the edge,
Speaker 1: you run up and you can't get right in the ashole.
Speaker 1: And every time, and he would take about fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: for that joke. But when you got to kick get
Speaker 1: out in the ashole, I would always go like, I'm
Speaker 1: crying laughing, man, I am well done to me. You've
Speaker 1: done it again. The inspiration behind your long term coming
Speaker 1: into um uh no, I think it's my brother Dan
Speaker 1: um Dan and I growing up we um We did
Speaker 1: bits for years on end, to the point where like
Speaker 1: my mom worried about us and would say like, would
Speaker 1: you guys please ask each other real questions? But we did.
Speaker 1: I mean I was just in Vegas with him. We
Speaker 1: went and saw the band Chicago by the way, They
Speaker 1: rock yes, and we were kind of going there and
Speaker 1: we weren't sure if we're going in terms of the
Speaker 1: long term bits. We decided to go to Vegas to
Speaker 1: see Chicago. I bought Chicago shirts. We were pretending to
Speaker 1: be the biggest CTA Chicago Transit Story Authority fans of
Speaker 1: all time. Uh. I wasn't sure if we were doing
Speaker 1: a bit or we were really excited, you know. I
Speaker 1: was like, we're so deep in this that we're literally
Speaker 1: find in Vegas to see Chicago. It was even in
Speaker 1: the band still they've been playing for fifty What the
Speaker 1: funk am I going to see the band Chicago. We
Speaker 1: got to the theater. It was an older crowd, obviously. No,
Speaker 1: I'm the oldest gentleman on this zoom the oldest person here.
Speaker 1: I was the young boy there, like the front row
Speaker 1: of like the babes churring on the band. I'm not kidding,
Speaker 1: we're in their seventies. Yeah. The show starts and I'm
Speaker 1: really laughing. This is a room full of like sixty
Speaker 1: plus and the band was okay. It started slow. Then
Speaker 1: they take an intermission after like twenty minutes, and my
Speaker 1: brother and I are dying. Were like, who takes a break? Yourn't?
Speaker 1: And I know why those motherfucker's came out and killed
Speaker 1: the second half. There was no irony, there was no bit.
Speaker 1: We were just going like. The lead singer came out
Speaker 1: and goes, I'm not going to take you to the
Speaker 1: magical eighties, and he did horn section, the full horn section. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it really was. But my brother and I spent
Speaker 1: the entire weekend in a bit. So like when I
Speaker 1: get home and Aaron was like, how's your brother, I'll
Speaker 1: be like, I'm not sure, but it was you had
Speaker 1: there was something that there was something. There was a
Speaker 1: poster on your wall in Nick Miller's room of a
Speaker 1: band right that that you selected personally because it was
Speaker 1: a friend of yours. I always I always trying to
Speaker 1: get it, at least in that show. It's kind of faded,
Speaker 1: but I was really excited about being able to influence
Speaker 1: the background and care and try to get people on it.
Speaker 1: It was so neat to me that I was on
Speaker 1: network television that I couldn't believe it. So my high
Speaker 1: school buddies, Oliver Raley, his band was Past Control. I
Speaker 1: got his post on the wall. Billy Bung Growth was
Speaker 1: in J. C. Brooks in the Uptown Sound. We got
Speaker 1: that on the wall. Aaron had a guerrilla drawing. She
Speaker 1: drew a gift from me. I got that on the wall.
Speaker 1: I remember the little one with the little Eric. I
Speaker 1: draft probably fans out there, if you can catch these images,
Speaker 1: screenshot him, tag us in him, post them. We want
Speaker 1: to we want to see some of these things. Speaking
Speaker 1: of super smart, smart bits, so I'll never forget. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was like halfway through the first season.
Speaker 1: I don't know it. I'm telling you it's acting advice.
Speaker 1: I have never forgotten because I was standing there in
Speaker 1: the know whatever nine inch heels feet, you know, near bleeding,
Speaker 1: and Jake was laying on the couch holding a beer
Speaker 1: and that's how he got to spend his day compared
Speaker 1: to mine in the scene and I was like, you're
Speaker 1: so lucky. You're so lucky that their writers did this
Speaker 1: for you and you get to sit there comfortably. And Jake,
Speaker 1: do you remember what you said to me? Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: like with no one wrote this for me. I made
Speaker 1: this decision in the pilot. I understand that this is
Speaker 1: gonna be long days and this could go on for
Speaker 1: a long time. I want to be seated with a
Speaker 1: drink in my way the pilot, it was probably like
Speaker 1: episode four when I'm like these fourteen hour day If
Speaker 1: you noticed, by like season three, my character starts wearing.
Speaker 1: In terms of shoes in your trailer, actors always get
Speaker 1: a thing they call warming shoes, which are just really
Speaker 1: comfortable slippers, And all of a sudden, I'm like, we're
Speaker 1: talking about yes, Lamren Scout, I'm still walk into the
Speaker 1: scene with them and in a pair of sweat pants,
Speaker 1: and if I'm here for fourteen A lot of the
Speaker 1: days you're spending on other people's coverage on that show,
Speaker 1: which I've never experienced since, where you're sitting there for
Speaker 1: ten hours you don't talk in a scene. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: would feel the need to bring us all in for
Speaker 1: the cold open part, like everybody every week, and it
Speaker 1: would always be and I was thinking about this, how
Speaker 1: similar all the cold opens really end up having to
Speaker 1: be in. They're like, well, we've realized that only certain
Speaker 1: things work. So a lot of times it was like
Speaker 1: one character coming into the loft living room setting up
Speaker 1: the man story and then yeah, and then everybody coming
Speaker 1: in and saying maybe one line, and whoever that person
Speaker 1: was had a lot to do. And then but a
Speaker 1: lot of times you're like either in the background or
Speaker 1: they'll be like, I figured you'd be eating cereal in
Speaker 1: the background, Miller. We're doing a lot of those exposition
Speaker 1: scenes because that big monologue was either you or Schmidt mostly,
Speaker 1: so I would be you know, you guys carried more
Speaker 1: of like exposition stuff, so I'd be like literally drinking.
Speaker 1: The beer would be a soda water and I'd be
Speaker 1: sitting there and then at one point I would go, like,
Speaker 1: without being disrespectful, if she's talking to let's say as Tho,
Speaker 1: he's doing a monologue and it's really to like Hannah's
Speaker 1: character and the guys are just there because they have
Speaker 1: their A story and we're in the B story. Should
Speaker 1: I be here at six I am? Or I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, dude, and three takes, you're gonna make that
Speaker 1: monogue last for four hours? You blame me. I blame Microsolia.
Speaker 1: I love Mikerosoli. Mike would call me Michael. Sometimes, just
Speaker 1: like you said, someone would be doing a monologue and
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd be way in the background, full makeup,
Speaker 1: like wardrobe and everything, knowing I'm not gonna say anything
Speaker 1: till after lunch, and I would go, can I go
Speaker 1: to my trailer? It's like, hold on a second, We'll
Speaker 1: just give us a second, and I'll go, man, I'm
Speaker 1: not supposed to be here right now. And then during
Speaker 1: you know that call when it says, oh, you're not
Speaker 1: used after lunch, he would come in and apologize, Hey man,
Speaker 1: look man, here was the catch with though he was
Speaker 1: a cast, none of us felt disrespected by the other
Speaker 1: one never been there. So I'm doing if it comes
Speaker 1: in and does a monologue and I'm mostly talking to Jazz,
Speaker 1: And in the end of the scene, Lamarin pops in
Speaker 1: and says, like, I like puzzles, I don't need you
Speaker 1: stands of us doing every all every improv cross coverage
Speaker 1: singles a two shot so at the end and a
Speaker 1: single you could sound like puzzles. Bring him in later
Speaker 1: about this bring me in first to say that I
Speaker 1: could go home. Yeah, like where we're like, You're like,
Speaker 1: do you care if I like like pop out of
Speaker 1: my room and you know, say this thing about whatever?
Speaker 1: And I'm like absolutely not, Like that's like like we would.
Speaker 1: They just have to bring you in for like to
Speaker 1: tie you into the store, like you have to be
Speaker 1: the scene, but you don't have to be there, like
Speaker 1: the be there for each other when there was a
Speaker 1: scene and when of course, and we were always in
Speaker 1: the cross cover when we had like an important moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But in terms of like the comfort stuff, I started
Speaker 1: realizing I could be standing because in the pilot Um
Speaker 1: Damon and I were mostly like standing next to each
Speaker 1: other and we were always on the other side of
Speaker 1: the couch, So like there would be like a move
Speaker 1: where I'm like, honest to God, my legs are hurting.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, if I'm here all day and I
Speaker 1: don't think I had, like you know, if I didn't have,
Speaker 1: like there'd be entire scripts where Nick would just ask
Speaker 1: questions early on and every one of my lines would
Speaker 1: end with a question mark, and so it would be
Speaker 1: like one line I would ask this and then like
Speaker 1: you'd be like Nick reacts, I'm like, I can do
Speaker 1: this comfortably. It in with my legs. Yeah. Um, your
Speaker 1: character is known for saying stupid, ridiculous things on the show.
Speaker 1: Um iconic lines. You give your cookie? I got you
Speaker 1: could That's like, I don't it's not scripted that way.
Speaker 1: This is jake, I mean, but to say the way
Speaker 1: you said it, that's a jake. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: no one would read it the way you you you
Speaker 1: read it. Um, anything any any one of those lines
Speaker 1: stick out to you in particular that you just love
Speaker 1: doing the most, or you're constant reminded of it, or
Speaker 1: no what in terms of that, what I really like
Speaker 1: is with each then partner, it was a different show.
Speaker 1: So like if you and me had our story together,
Speaker 1: there was a vibe on set, there was a vibe together.
Speaker 1: Remember early on we always ended up slapping each other, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because each other yet so and then there was we
Speaker 1: did something in a grocery store were and I got
Speaker 1: a headache after that, ship like, all right, we need
Speaker 1: to find another bite. Zoe went Zoe and I were together.
Speaker 1: I knew those bits with each person, you would know
Speaker 1: that rhythm. But the view the reason I never liked
Speaker 1: the cold opens because when you throw everybody together, it
Speaker 1: was too much like the mixing of the world where
Speaker 1: I'm like, I knew how to like do bits with Damon,
Speaker 1: and then you'd like pair them up with somebody else,
Speaker 1: and then like Zoe and I do bit and then
Speaker 1: if it's Zoe and I, I know what those are.
Speaker 1: But with everybody, you've got all these funny people and
Speaker 1: most of them aren't doing any of the bits. And
Speaker 1: then you're actually viewed as being annoying when you start
Speaker 1: improvising cracking jokes and laughing because you're slowing down to day.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, but everybody, we've all got our own
Speaker 1: like secret languages, rather than like the lines or something.
Speaker 1: I remember. I remember what it felt like to do
Speaker 1: on certain days where you'd see a script and I
Speaker 1: would be like, Oh, I'm in a story with this
Speaker 1: person and or that guest star, so they go fun.
Speaker 1: I know what that tone is, I know what that
Speaker 1: vibe is gonna be. Uh, and each it always felt
Speaker 1: so different depending on how the people were with you.
Speaker 1: Just reminded me of that episode where we're slapping Joel
Speaker 1: if we could figure out the name which episode that
Speaker 1: was in We're We're having a slap fight contest and
Speaker 1: the kitchen it was about we were doing something with
Speaker 1: the horse tracks. Yeah, and I remember this Dennis Verna
Speaker 1: called it was with Dennis right, Yeah, I remember Jake.
Speaker 1: I remember I realized something about you in this moment
Speaker 1: when we were doing the slap fight bit right, that
Speaker 1: you won't And we talked about this earlier. This was
Speaker 1: my reminder that Jake won't stop the bit. He will
Speaker 1: keep doing the bit. My face was hurting after the
Speaker 1: first lap and I was like, but I have to
Speaker 1: slap him back, and then you slap me back even harder,
Speaker 1: and I was like this is hey man, Like you said, like,
Speaker 1: hey man, could you grow less hard, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: we're in a two shot, like it's funnier you see. Damn,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is heavy handed. He doesn't understand this. Jamie
Speaker 1: Fox tells the story about Hello cool J about doing
Speaker 1: a bit about Jamie like cool J wants to fight
Speaker 1: for real in the scene of any given set day,
Speaker 1: Je cool J, Hey man, this is acting. Does that
Speaker 1: happen in that Holly wrestling scene? Yes, oh, my hand
Speaker 1: for it was not I hit my hand against the wall.
Speaker 1: What was different about that and what kind of got
Speaker 1: tricky about it was m and we did so much
Speaker 1: improv and so many bits and what Max and I did,
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize honestly until after the show, which
Speaker 1: was really disrespectful to guest stars. We would do bits
Speaker 1: while they were calling like quiet on set because we
Speaker 1: were all so comfortable with the show that you would
Speaker 1: memorize those lines so quickly you would know the tone.
Speaker 1: You would also know like if I forget my lines,
Speaker 1: I'll say salamis mdwich and somebody else will say something
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back other people. I forgot that
Speaker 1: other people weren't there that much. So like before that,
Speaker 1: while we're sitting backstage. We didn't give them a chance
Speaker 1: to like think, I'm calling a big d asking about
Speaker 1: his hair, like your hair looks great, and he'd be like,
Speaker 1: so we're wrestling, like yeah, and then joke jump out
Speaker 1: and the scene starts, and I don't think he knew
Speaker 1: the level of wrestling. So it wasn't a fight. It
Speaker 1: was just we hadn't communicated what we were doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you really broke your hand. I actually remember part
Speaker 1: of the problem. I mean, well, I can't say it's problem,
Speaker 1: but that you were so you were kind of acting
Speaker 1: like a tough guy about it, so you couldn't tell
Speaker 1: how much it hurt you. I could tell because I
Speaker 1: knew you really well, and you were like, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you weren't laughing anymore, and like normally you're
Speaker 1: always laughing. And I was like, oh, he's really hurt.
Speaker 1: But like to the untrained person, it's like the person
Speaker 1: that doesn't know you, you think like, oh, the bit
Speaker 1: was still going on, just still doing a bit. Well,
Speaker 1: what happened was it's not good. It hurts so bad.
Speaker 1: It started to swell up. So the adrenaline was going
Speaker 1: in a way where I didn't quite feel anything yet,
Speaker 1: but my hand was getting really weird and obviously like
Speaker 1: I especially then it's changed since I've had kids and
Speaker 1: that you know as it's gone. But like I did
Speaker 1: not care about health for a lot of years of
Speaker 1: my life, so my body would just be like you
Speaker 1: just try to disconnect from your body, So do you
Speaker 1: have like a weird well like trying to think about
Speaker 1: it um but so that I remember being like, it's fine,
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. But in between lines, I
Speaker 1: would look down and because I broke a bone here,
Speaker 1: they started becoming this bubbling thing. And Josh green Bomb
Speaker 1: was our director, who's a friend, and he and I
Speaker 1: are always doing bits, so I was like, it's the
Speaker 1: problem with living in bits too long. It's the boy
Speaker 1: who cried Wolf. When the wolves are coming to attack you,
Speaker 1: everyone's like, are they being broken? I've spent many moments
Speaker 1: of my life being attacked by wolves, being like, goddamn it,
Speaker 1: I built this house. La Mourn and I were doing
Speaker 1: a bit where we were talking. He was shooting a
Speaker 1: commercial in Pasadena and he's like, hey, I'll come bye,
Speaker 1: we'll hang out after. And I was like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: doing a commercial. You're rich so you come over, bring
Speaker 1: me steak and lobsters. And he came over and he
Speaker 1: brought a lobster live, like I'm not cooking this. I
Speaker 1: was like getting out of my house and he was like,
Speaker 1: you said lobster and where did you go? How like
Speaker 1: how long did TU defind the lobsters? Well? I told
Speaker 1: lobster in a bag to my hull, No, I told
Speaker 1: I told production to get me. I thought they were
Speaker 1: going to bring me cooked lobster. Oh. Interesting. And what
Speaker 1: was the saddest part about the whole thing? One what
Speaker 1: was happening to the lobster. But the other sad part
Speaker 1: was that the p a who dropped it off was
Speaker 1: was vegan and was looking at me like I was
Speaker 1: the worst and I didn't know what she was doing.
Speaker 1: I was like, why is she staring at me? There?
Speaker 1: And I look, it's a live, whole lobster in my
Speaker 1: bag and I lost it. I was like, what the
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do with this? This is
Speaker 1: way beyond the bit, This is way beyond the bit.
Speaker 1: And Jake want nothing to do with it. Took it
Speaker 1: back to a friend's house. They ended up taking it
Speaker 1: to the ocean, which I do believe was the wrong ocean. Yeah, amazing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was meant to be in the Atlantic. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a drive. We couldn't make it, so hopefully hopefully
Speaker 1: he survived. Um. Okay, so now he's an invasive species. Uh. Um,
Speaker 1: let's move off from New Girl for a second. For
Speaker 1: a second. You man, you know, obviously, working working with people,
Speaker 1: you become friends and family, but you also become fans. Dude,
Speaker 1: Spider Verse. Man, I love that. I love that movie.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hate animated shows. That movie all
Speaker 1: the time. Um, tell us about tell us about that?
Speaker 1: How like do you get recognized more for that or
Speaker 1: or it's a huge that was a huge deal. Like
Speaker 1: do you get recognized when that ever to come up
Speaker 1: to you talk about Spider Verse or is it strictly
Speaker 1: New Girl? Um? People talk about Spider Verse? Good, all right,
Speaker 1: we're back talk. You've just tuned in before. He loves
Speaker 1: Spider Verse, giving me about it all the time. Chris
Speaker 1: Miller and Phil Lord, who were the kind of the
Speaker 1: people behind that whole version of the rethinking of the
Speaker 1: Spider Man world. It was really great. It's we're doing
Speaker 1: the new one now. Um, they're really talented so talented.
Speaker 1: It's like and when we all know is actors, there's
Speaker 1: a really big difference between getting like a great script
Speaker 1: and a medium one. Yeah, you know it's really funny,
Speaker 1: like you just see it and you just it's a
Speaker 1: really like it's funny because I remember doing that. Phil
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, man, I wrote you some stuff.
Speaker 1: Um well we'll figure it out in the booth. It's
Speaker 1: not quite ready. And I would read it and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, this ship is ready. I say these words.
Speaker 1: It's good. Until it was a really nice thing about like, yeah,
Speaker 1: good skimming. It's great material, it's great stuff. What about
Speaker 1: your writing, Uh, Jake, I know you wrote Ride the Eagle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you did. Trent, Trent O'Donnell directed that. We did
Speaker 1: it together. It came out, uh this last year during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. It was great. We Uh it was funny.
Speaker 1: So Trent, who was a new girl, you know. I
Speaker 1: think he directed like fifty episode something like a lot
Speaker 1: a lot love him. I think he think he's such
Speaker 1: a secret to the success of that show. And he's
Speaker 1: as to have a moment. I've been teasing him because
Speaker 1: I think he's becoming kind of like a little bit
Speaker 1: of a mogul. He's got like a bunch of shows
Speaker 1: and he's always like, well, text about getting together and
Speaker 1: he's like, well, I'm at the law working on another ship.
Speaker 1: I don't know that guy, but he's so wildly talented.
Speaker 1: What happened was in the pandemic, we both really just
Speaker 1: missed working in bits and being on set, so we
Speaker 1: financed it. We made the whole movie for two or
Speaker 1: fifty grand I think we shot it in like nine
Speaker 1: days and it was really just it was a blast.
Speaker 1: So we did have a fan question, The question is
Speaker 1: you did a movie? No, this is yeah, um, since
Speaker 1: you did a movie right the ego with Darcy Carton,
Speaker 1: Susan Surrandon, j K. Simmons. When did you discover you
Speaker 1: had a talent for not casting your real friends in
Speaker 1: your movies, all your new girls? The fan question like,
Speaker 1: we didn't get the call Mars was directing, and you
Speaker 1: didn't call Lamar lamar ale. You guys, you know I
Speaker 1: don't make anything, Okay, you know we do have one
Speaker 1: thing called Nick's Box that we're going to come to
Speaker 1: when we come back from her. What keeps a baby
Speaker 1: skin healthy? A diaper that doesn't leave the skin wet.
Speaker 1: That's what now. My baby like every other baby, and
Speaker 1: she's not shy about it either. She drinks so much
Speaker 1: water and releases it whenever wherever she feels like it,
Speaker 1: especially in her sleep. I'm telling you it's hard to
Speaker 1: keep up. Now. What makes swadlers overnight so great is
Speaker 1: that they have twelve hours of protection. I'm talking one leakproof.
Speaker 1: That's right, super absorbent. It's even a witness indicator to

Speaker 1: And we're back with Jake Johnson. I have to just say,
Speaker 1: because you're talking about your movies, you were I feel
Speaker 1: like the only person that between seasons would just go
Speaker 1: off and be in these huge, ginormous films while the
Speaker 1: rest of those were like had no energy. I don't
Speaker 1: like summer with Tom Cruise and coming back, and that
Speaker 1: for me was always the most exciting thing. Was like
Speaker 1: the kid coming back to school that had had like
Speaker 1: the best summer, well that one specifically. So, um oh
Speaker 1: you came back and you were super fit too, very
Speaker 1: into health. Yeah no, I wasn't into health. I was
Speaker 1: super fit because he wanted to work out together, and
Speaker 1: I was very afraid of Tom Cruise. But that job
Speaker 1: happened because you know, I think if you get an
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with Tom Cruise, you take it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But look, this, this interview is spitting in a way
Speaker 1: that's not reality. We were all working I understand I'm
Speaker 1: the one being interview, but if we were doing the
Speaker 1: Vulture and they were doing it, we all did projects
Speaker 1: over the summer sky. Really who else was doing stuff
Speaker 1: over this? I mean, I'm just saying that was like
Speaker 1: in Jurassic Park and it had to speak for yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure maybe you remember. But with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Speaker 1: that happened here writing these questions you too, that's the
Speaker 1: problem we are. Um, Okay, we have a thing called
Speaker 1: Knick's Box, or as I like to call it, your box.
Speaker 1: Today it's Jake's box. This is a segment where we
Speaker 1: crawled into the back of Nick's closet and pull out
Speaker 1: some memories that the cast and crew New Girl have
Speaker 1: kept hidden for years. H Jake, what's your favorite memory
Speaker 1: from your time working on New Girl or worse memory?
Speaker 1: Aren't just your most prominent memory, you know, honestly, and
Speaker 1: you know I've said it. We've all obviously all done
Speaker 1: a ton of press for this show. But it was
Speaker 1: working with all you guys, and it was Max and
Speaker 1: it was Damon, and it would be the Riggles of
Speaker 1: the world. It was, you know, when we talk about
Speaker 1: the long bits, I don't remember a lot of the episodes.
Speaker 1: I don't remember certain lines. Um. I don't remember a
Speaker 1: lot of the drama. Like you know, you'd have like
Speaker 1: a hard day and somebody mad at you for screwing
Speaker 1: up a line. It's like you didn't hit the joke.
Speaker 1: All that ship faded away from me. And what I
Speaker 1: really remember about it was, you know, so many laughs
Speaker 1: and so many hours of doing stuff where dude get
Speaker 1: slap happy and you'd be acting really immature, um. And
Speaker 1: it was probably annoying for those outside of the circle
Speaker 1: of actors, you know, because they're holding bloom mis but
Speaker 1: like there were many times I just couldn't stop laughing.
Speaker 1: Or you're off camera and someone's doing a performance and
Speaker 1: you guys have done a bit that like like I
Speaker 1: remember like other actors would make sounds during performances to
Speaker 1: try to screw you up, So like if I was
Speaker 1: doing this thing, I would hear like woop woop. You're like,
Speaker 1: you know that is quote on don't really bad, but
Speaker 1: it made it so. It made it the experience so joyful,
Speaker 1: And I do feel like what people take from it
Speaker 1: is there was a lot of joy, and there was
Speaker 1: a lot of laughs, and there was a lot of
Speaker 1: like genuine fun. We were heaven where people say, like
Speaker 1: how much are you like your character? And the truth is,
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us are really like any
Speaker 1: of our characters. But our joy was real and our
Speaker 1: bits were real, and I think people can feel that
Speaker 1: when I watch a show that I like, you feel
Speaker 1: like you get a sense that like that that must
Speaker 1: have been fun to do, and a lot of New
Speaker 1: Girl was really fun to do. Yeah, And that's kind
Speaker 1: of my big takeaway from it. I don't really There'll
Speaker 1: be moments, things will come up, like even Trent or
Speaker 1: Ralph passing away. You know, I got hit by a
Speaker 1: way of the saddness. But I don't really remember much
Speaker 1: of the stuff we did besides like being on set
Speaker 1: when he was around now, always being happy that he
Speaker 1: was there and just being like, oh yeah. It was
Speaker 1: always like fun that you would say certain episodes and
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh great, like these three people are
Speaker 1: here now, cool, Jake. People don't remember what you did
Speaker 1: for them, they remember how you made them feel, and
Speaker 1: that's what's important. That's the takeaway. Come back anytime I'm
Speaker 1: putting Lauren mute, what are your Honestly, that's my same takeaway.
Speaker 1: I don't remember all the like any drama or anything.
Speaker 1: I don't remember at all. I do remember loving doing
Speaker 1: bits with you guys. I just miss you guys. I
Speaker 1: mean obviously because we're doing a rewatch podcast. Like I
Speaker 1: love working with all of you guys so much, and
Speaker 1: I love, you know, the camaraderie with the crew and
Speaker 1: the writers, and that was my favorite part two. So
Speaker 1: mine was just that there was no pressure. It was
Speaker 1: no again, we're we're friends, and now you work on
Speaker 1: a project. You're like, Okay, I can't suck. I can't
Speaker 1: you know, are they gonna are they gonna give me
Speaker 1: ship like real ship, like a new girl? If I sucked,
Speaker 1: if I did something, you would call me part of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like this part of the part of the bit
Speaker 1: on other project. If you if you came in and
Speaker 1: we were having like a bad mental day, you couldn't
Speaker 1: remember it. I would know this is going to make
Speaker 1: everybody else have the best day and they're gonna look,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be the guy in the corner
Speaker 1: getting railed on. But it's funny. Max not knowing his
Speaker 1: lines was one of the funniest thing. He would He
Speaker 1: would curse himself out. He would call Max and I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys felt this before doing this
Speaker 1: kind of rewatch. I don't remember storylines, so I don't
Speaker 1: remember like arcs. I don't remember like you know, there'll
Speaker 1: be something I'll be doing an interview for something and
Speaker 1: they'll bring up something. They go like, how do you
Speaker 1: feel about that decision? And I'm like, I don't even
Speaker 1: like and I'm not trying to be disrespectful about it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not what I remember about. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember the whole package, the final product the final twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes, Like we were there for fifty hours what
Speaker 1: they cut in and like eight hours but like and
Speaker 1: then you know if you're doing a scene and they
Speaker 1: cut it down to a minute and a half. We
Speaker 1: performed that scene especially it was like a big dinner
Speaker 1: table scene. We were there for twelve hours doing bits,
Speaker 1: and the entire comedic bits were cut out. But I
Speaker 1: like those are like I don't even know, Like I
Speaker 1: had a memory the other day when we were at
Speaker 1: the bar, uh that that little dancer Arrio by saying
Speaker 1: that wrong. The more you know how I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: So it started how it started. But when one of
Speaker 1: when somebody would go, oh, whoever this single like Terrio dance,
Speaker 1: and you know, the editors or whoever didn't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of it's in the show. But
Speaker 1: doing Tario was like for four months what I looked
Speaker 1: forward to going to work that when some dude come
Speaker 1: in a scene and be like, bad news, I've been fired.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is off cameras go oh,
Speaker 1: you know, like the news For me, I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: about to get a show, like I'm gonna see somebody
Speaker 1: full of Tario and The other joke was like if
Speaker 1: you get somebody off their game. I always loved in
Speaker 1: that show, like all right, like I threw off a
Speaker 1: really weird line, how are they going to get back
Speaker 1: on story? And for me, the like skill was you
Speaker 1: take a really weird improv but then you're driving you
Speaker 1: got another line like get us back and make it usable.
Speaker 1: That's so fun. Like do you remember take that we
Speaker 1: made up a song and convinced littlemore and that it
Speaker 1: was single, and I remember was something about like a
Speaker 1: sexy dancer. It was like, oh my god, really you
Speaker 1: know that something? And he's like, I'm just go again.
Speaker 1: I was like, god, God, I almost saying dance. But
Speaker 1: then the beauty of that show and honestly it's just
Speaker 1: like makes the show I'm doing. We don't really improvise,
Speaker 1: so you can add like a liner two, but we
Speaker 1: would be doing that, oh my god, I'm a sexy
Speaker 1: as dancer. They would call action and the beginning scene
Speaker 1: is we're all still going like this. The first chance
Speaker 1: if if you two are talking in that scene and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a beer, well I'm gonna then go
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm gonna get a beer. Sexy as dancer.
Speaker 1: Well that fine might have made it all of a
Speaker 1: sudden for some reason, yet makes a sexy has a
Speaker 1: dancer like that is so fun And whenever you can
Speaker 1: sneak something really weird and he would make it into
Speaker 1: the show, that always felt like such a point of
Speaker 1: pride if you like did a really weird improv and
Speaker 1: then it was in and you'd be at a d
Speaker 1: R and I'd be like, oh, they haven't has made
Speaker 1: it on the network elevation. That was probably like the ultimate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the ultimate? When when you you have a bit
Speaker 1: that's weird and it makes it up, it makes it
Speaker 1: and then it starts And I was like, that was
Speaker 1: always when you talk about like the shared experience, I'll
Speaker 1: never it's That's the thing I think about the most
Speaker 1: with this show is very few people will understand what
Speaker 1: it was truly like because they only see that twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes or they read in you know, and an
Speaker 1: interview that you've done, and that's what they think it
Speaker 1: all was about. I remember maybe it was the end
Speaker 1: of season one, season two. That time kind of blurs,
Speaker 1: but you showed up, you drove up to the trailers
Speaker 1: in like a brand new car Alexis no season two,
Speaker 1: I got rid of the that's right. I remember we
Speaker 1: were like a convertible right, like you could take the
Speaker 1: top down or something that I thought it was. I
Speaker 1: was like what and You're like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: think this is real, Like I think this show is
Speaker 1: staying around and I feel finally comfortable to do it.
Speaker 1: And I looked across at my like real beat up
Speaker 1: first car that I came to l A with that
Speaker 1: the side mirror was like in the glove box, and
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, I think it's safe and Hannah,
Speaker 1: then you said how did you get that? And I
Speaker 1: gave you my contact. That's right, you still I still
Speaker 1: used today. I showed up in Alexis a week later,
Speaker 1: but I remember you took me for like a spin
Speaker 1: around a lot and you're just like this could be
Speaker 1: your life. You can do it here now. I remember
Speaker 1: with new Cars like about the same week. Yeah, it
