Speaker 1: Ring ring, ring ring. May I please speak with Zoe?
Speaker 1: Oh hello, Lamar, let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot
Speaker 1: what it was like working with you. Guys. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm apologizing right now off the bat. I am sick today.
Speaker 1: It is not COVID, it is the flu. But I'm

Speaker 1: Just in my house with my microphone. Well, explain how
Speaker 1: I got sick. How did you get sick? You got
Speaker 1: me sick. I didn't get you sick. I saw you out, Zoe.
Speaker 1: We were at the club. I saw you out. Um no,
Speaker 1: from the beginning, your own damn sickness that's in your head.
Speaker 1: I do. I just have to say, Zoe, um, you
Speaker 1: look very cute. We are recording Oh my God, pretty
Speaker 1: early in the morning, and You're bringing a red shirt
Speaker 1: with some cute sleeves and I'm like, yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: thank you. I was like, you look lovely. The shoulders,
Speaker 1: shoulder pads. You said, I look like Dracula. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've never seen Dracula were puff sleeves, but Dracula is
Speaker 1: known for those puff sleeves. That was his go to
Speaker 1: that and killing point was it. We're talking today about
Speaker 1: the Valentine's Day episode, and I have to say I
Speaker 1: have been waiting on this, have you? Yeah? It's one
Speaker 1: of those teen one thirteen written by Leslie wake Webster
Speaker 1: and directed by Tucker eight. On this week's episode, Schmidt
Speaker 1: declares that every time we sleep with the same person,
Speaker 1: we die just a little. And now Jess is on
Speaker 1: an adventure to get her well what she likes to
Speaker 1: call her dirty twirlyon. That's not what I call it.
Speaker 1: I call it horny. She's trying to smash. Meanwhile, Winston
Speaker 1: is trying to get back in Shelby's good graces. However, Shelby, well,
Speaker 1: she's having a little trouble trusting Winston. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: why he is the most trustworthy person in the loft.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's for good reason, maybe it's not. So here's
Speaker 1: what she does. She invites him to a girl's night what.
Speaker 1: He ain't too sure about this, but luckily sincerity and
Speaker 1: Sangria as always sexy. When Winston can hang with her
Speaker 1: holmies with her little friends, she Alby can envision a
Speaker 1: possible future with him. Meanwhile, Nick is attempting to have
Speaker 1: his first romantic Valentine's Day since the big break up,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately Julia cannot leave work. After rescheduling the reservation
Speaker 1: multiple times, Nick gets a little testy. He tells Julie's
Speaker 1: assistant played by the wonderful Clark Duke, the entire story
Speaker 1: of why he dropped out of law school, and oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, the assistant gets inspired he quits immediately. Now
Speaker 1: at the club, Jess finds a friends. She finds a
Speaker 1: good looking a guy, a guy some people might call
Speaker 1: him a hot dude, a hot guy, hot butt, hot
Speaker 1: in the pants, okay, cute and in the face. She
Speaker 1: finds him. His name is Oliver, right, She just wants
Speaker 1: to bang him and leave him. She on some weird
Speaker 1: stuff this episode, but the date quickly goes wrong when
Speaker 1: Schmidt refuses to leave. Then the sexy guy, hot butt,
Speaker 1: hot in the face, his ex shows up. Cecy comes
Speaker 1: to save the day, but her boyfriend, he high on
Speaker 1: shrimp y'all, he had of his damn mine. He burst
Speaker 1: into the house and he makes out with with with
Speaker 1: hot faces ex. What a mess. It's a whole, it's
Speaker 1: a whole sloppy mess going on in this house. The
Speaker 1: house is filthy too it looks disgusting anyway. After just
Speaker 1: video chats with her mother, she returns home. Schmidt tells
Speaker 1: her to just sleep with a friend and not overthinking
Speaker 1: grabbing a giant box of condoms, just considers you guessed it, Schmidt.
Speaker 1: What Luckily Nick catches her and she thinks better of
Speaker 1: her actions, but Cecy didn't. And now back to our show.
Speaker 1: Um So just so you you guys might not know this,
Speaker 1: but I reached out to Leslie and asked if she
Speaker 1: had any specific memories, and she had many, and she
Speaker 1: sent a little voice note which I thought maybe we
Speaker 1: could all listen to together and uh, you know, start
Speaker 1: to unpack this great episode. One of my faiths, hand
Speaker 1: to play it. Roll the clip the clip. Hey, Hannah,
Speaker 1: I have a couple of memories of the Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: episode for you. They're pretty random. So the first one
Speaker 1: is that I remember that no one in the writer's
Speaker 1: room had gone to law school, which is really weird
Speaker 1: because usually people go to law school. At least there's
Speaker 1: always like two attorneys in any comedy writer's room. So
Speaker 1: when we were writing things for the Julia character, no
Speaker 1: one knew anything for her to do. Except depositions. So
Speaker 1: every time Julia had business, it was like, she's got
Speaker 1: to get some depositions done. And I remember the actress
Speaker 1: asking us like, can I do something other than depositions?
Speaker 1: And I was on set and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's the only term I know. Um. The
Speaker 1: other memory is that the c story involving Shelby and
Speaker 1: Winston UM originally was a little, uh, a little more
Speaker 1: risque than it ended up being. Originally, the idea was
Speaker 1: that Shelby and Winston had sex, and Winston thought he'd
Speaker 1: done a great job, and he gets up to go
Speaker 1: to the restroom and when he comes back from I
Speaker 1: guess taking a shower or something, he discovers that Shelby
Speaker 1: is finishing things off for herself, that she hadn't had
Speaker 1: an orgasm, and she was taking matters into her own hands.
Speaker 1: And then he's super bothered by that, even though she's like, no,
Speaker 1: it was fine. I just didn't get there and I
Speaker 1: wanted to get there on my own. And a lot
Speaker 1: of us thought it was really funny, and I think
Speaker 1: Liz just thought it was really gross, and I think
Speaker 1: David Brett might have thought it it's sold out. The
Speaker 1: character of Winston in a way that was unredeemable, but
Speaker 1: so it turned into Winston gets invited to girls night. Um.
Speaker 1: The last thing I remember is that we shot the
Speaker 1: pieces at Oliver's house and at the park late at night.
Speaker 1: Those scenes were both meant to be late at night
Speaker 1: and actually were film late at night, and everyone was exhausted,
Speaker 1: and I think one of the A d s maybe
Speaker 1: got trapped in a porta potty at the park where
Speaker 1: we had Kyle on the swing. I remember there was
Speaker 1: a text chain about her being like, Hey, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get out of here. Can someone please let me
Speaker 1: out of the porta potty? And finally, um, there was
Speaker 1: a scene that was at the end that we cut,
Speaker 1: and it was Shelby and Winston and Nick and Jess
Speaker 1: at a diner and I can't remember why they were
Speaker 1: at a diner, and it was a conversation where Jess
Speaker 1: sort of tells when Ston and She'll be about her night,
Speaker 1: and it didn't make a whole lot of sense. And
Speaker 1: I remember Zoe asking, like, why am I telling Shelby
Speaker 1: about that? I almost you know, I had a thing
Speaker 1: with Schmidt. I barely know her. And again I was
Speaker 1: like I don't know. We're just it's written on the page,
Speaker 1: so we're doing it. Um. And we did shoot it,
Speaker 1: but it didn't get in the episode, probably for a
Speaker 1: good reason. Okay, I hope that's helpful. Um, that's all
Speaker 1: I got for you. By wow wow wow wow wow
Speaker 1: wow wow wow. That's very that's interesting stuff that would
Speaker 1: never get past the network. The first storyline, uh, with
Speaker 1: you and Shelby. That never would That just not a
Speaker 1: storyline made for network. Here's the problem. Okay, you go
Speaker 1: to Liz in between and you tell her personal stories
Speaker 1: about your life, and a sudden they want to write
Speaker 1: these stories. I think that is out of bs that
Speaker 1: they would go into my diary and write stories of
Speaker 1: my sex life. That is not okay, that is not
Speaker 1: appropriate the TV doing out a documentary I know, fiction
Speaker 1: not fact. I mean nah nah, never happened. Never happened.
Speaker 1: But also, by the way, it's not like they made
Speaker 1: a slight adjustment to go from that risk a storyline.
Speaker 1: They just went like a full on eight. It's like
Speaker 1: we're gonna do Girls Night a bunch of people. Poor
Speaker 1: is cleared. Yeah, that was that was an interesting That
Speaker 1: was an interesting part of the I guess the Winston journey.
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about all these different traits that that
Speaker 1: that this character had, are different um emotional levels to
Speaker 1: him and figuring out who he was when he was
Speaker 1: back from Lafia. I found it interesting, you know, even
Speaker 1: in wardrobe he was always an athletic, were as if
Speaker 1: he were. In fact, when I walk out of the
Speaker 1: when Winston walks out of the door, out of the
Speaker 1: loft with Schmidt's he's wearing like a track suit, but
Speaker 1: he's got a gym bag with both a basketball and
Speaker 1: a baseball bat get out of the bag, and I
Speaker 1: just thought, where's he going hitting all the cords? He's
Speaker 1: he's multi talented, and then we find out later he's
Speaker 1: not talented at all. Well, let's that's much later, guys.
Speaker 1: This episode starts with the cold opens, not in the
Speaker 1: kitchen or like the loft kind of open concept area.
Speaker 1: It's it's with Julia and Nick. Right, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of p d A. What you think about, like where
Speaker 1: do we stand? The whole point? I think is that
Speaker 1: the p d A is meant to be annoying the
Speaker 1: single people, right, and and that Justice single and Schmidt
Speaker 1: is single, and they're annoyed by all the you know,
Speaker 1: lovey dovey couples, um but um and and Nick is
Speaker 1: with Julia in the beginning, so you kind of see
Speaker 1: that first, do you think it is? Do you see
Speaker 1: them in the bedroom first? Right? You see you see
Speaker 1: Nick and Julia in the bedroom and they're talking about
Speaker 1: how excited they are about Valentine's Day and kind of
Speaker 1: an ironic way, but also actually excited. And then we
Speaker 1: have the scene in the in the kitchen where Schmidt
Speaker 1: and just are observing Winston on the phone. Nick and
Speaker 1: Julia you're not in there, CC, but you you are
Speaker 1: in a relationship. Um. But I will say this some
Speaker 1: of the language. I just remember now when I was
Speaker 1: watching this episode that this got into territory that I
Speaker 1: found a bit like hard to say some of the stuff.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, I found it a little like cringey,
Speaker 1: like dirty twirls. I was like, how do I make
Speaker 1: this work? Like I think I think it bumped me
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I know they were trying to
Speaker 1: make Jess like both this like well, it's hard because
Speaker 1: they started off with Jess as a person who can't
Speaker 1: say the word penis, and then this was the episode
Speaker 1: where I was like, wait what because all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they're like, well, she's now she wants to have
Speaker 1: a one night stand. Here's the I wrote three things
Speaker 1: down watching it because I had the same thought. One
Speaker 1: was the dirty twirls, Little Jess and one Night Sex. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, one night sex is kind of funny,
Speaker 1: um and Little Jess, Like I laughed. But I also
Speaker 1: just remember being like like there was stuff that I
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: Like there were a bunch of things where I was like,
Speaker 1: this is and this is like we had amazing writers
Speaker 1: and like, you know, but they're inevitably and I've never
Speaker 1: I've never done a TV show this for this long,
Speaker 1: you know, before I did like, you know, multiple episodes
Speaker 1: of TV shows. But um inevitably, there's gonna be stuff
Speaker 1: where you're like, I know it's my job to make
Speaker 1: stuff work, but this is like I don't, like I
Speaker 1: don't have an angle on this. You know, so you
Speaker 1: don't spray your you don't spray a little Jess before
Speaker 1: you walk out. I'm not even gonna gratify that with
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that was like, it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: little Sprints. It was like, like fifty Sprints is like
Speaker 1: someone I think the idea was like that she's like
Speaker 1: spraying and then walking into it, like you know they
Speaker 1: do in perfume stores, like, um, but yeah, I mean look,
Speaker 1: uh the Dirty Twirls. I don't know why the Dirty
Speaker 1: Twirls was really like. I was like, wait, what is
Speaker 1: that even? And I was like is that Like? But
Speaker 1: I don't know how you go from someone who can't
Speaker 1: say the word penis to being this person in this episode?
Speaker 1: That was what I was like, Um, I was confused.
Speaker 1: But it was a really fun episode and super funny
Speaker 1: and lots of great stuff happening, of course, but it
Speaker 1: definitely was a challenging one for me because I think
Speaker 1: the j version of like Horny was hard to play.
Speaker 1: It's interesting right now in retrospect to watch how season
Speaker 1: one they really were trying to just figure out who
Speaker 1: all these characters, yes, and then you're watching things you're like,
Speaker 1: that does not apply that that character ended up being
Speaker 1: a hundred episodes in and that kind of got discarded
Speaker 1: because probably at the forefront of that when it's always
Speaker 1: at the forefront of my character for for folks, whether
Speaker 1: it's pressed or whatever I'm doing. I forget about the
Speaker 1: earlier seasons. I genuinely do, Like I only think about
Speaker 1: you know, you know, season three, four, five, six, you know,
Speaker 1: and on. But I am I forget watching this episode.
Speaker 1: I totally forgot. I can usually watch an episode and
Speaker 1: know what's seen this coming next because I've seen them already.
Speaker 1: This episode, for some reason, it was like I had
Speaker 1: never seen it, like I was going through it, like
Speaker 1: I forgot about shooting that scene when I knocked on
Speaker 1: Shelby's door and then I opened up. There's people in there.
Speaker 1: I go, when did I meet these people? Remember this
Speaker 1: day on set at all? I do not have a
Speaker 1: drug problem. I do not have a drinking problem, Remember
Speaker 1: I do. I do remember shooting this episode, but but
Speaker 1: it's definitely like one that I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: didn't stick in my mind really like definitely, like the
Speaker 1: details of this episode didn't stick in my mind really. Well. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: so after we establish, can I just ask the one
Speaker 1: question because it's how this whole thing opens, right with
Speaker 1: the p d A, which I think begs the question
Speaker 1: if you're single or if you're not single? If p
Speaker 1: d A when you see it happening around you by
Speaker 1: a super lovey devy couple. Is it genuinely annoying or
Speaker 1: is it that thing where you kind of just wish
Speaker 1: you had it? No, I don't think it's annoying unless
Speaker 1: people are like really crazy all over each other and
Speaker 1: they're like not paying attention. They're not like being present
Speaker 1: like normal people. Like it's nice when people like I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think it's nice, but it's like weird
Speaker 1: when people are like like if you're at a dinner
Speaker 1: with people and they're just like all over each other
Speaker 1: and you're like, mmmm, okay, can you don't be present here?
Speaker 1: Like like like I'm okay with a looking at I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with people, you know with p d A.
Speaker 1: Don't don't type in p d A in World start
Speaker 1: hip Hop, Like if you get a World Start hip
Speaker 1: Hop and then type A is a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: that happened on a New York subway that you do
Speaker 1: not that's kind of PA. That's inappropriate. People hugging and
Speaker 1: hold in hands and you know, a little guessing here
Speaker 1: and that that's cool, you know, But like when it's
Speaker 1: loud and you can hear sounds no, we don't want
Speaker 1: to do that issue. We're trying to stay on check
Speaker 1: that we I think we just have the next episode.
Speaker 1: Clark Duke all of a sudden, um makes some very
Speaker 1: inappropriate comments. We haven't even gotten there yet. Wait wait
Speaker 1: wait no, no, no no, because we haven't established yet,
Speaker 1: um that Nick goes to pick up Julia at her
Speaker 1: place of work for their Valentine state and yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying. He meets Clark there and walks
Speaker 1: him up. He says some very inappropriate things he does,
Speaker 1: but but we should tell them first what happened, is right.
Speaker 1: Nick goes to pick up Julia or plays of work,
Speaker 1: like I just said, and he finds Clark Duke, who
Speaker 1: is a like a an intern who's who's working for Julia.
Speaker 1: Hilarious Clark Duke, every hilarious Clarke. I will say, did
Speaker 1: you find um like some of the stuff Julia saying
Speaker 1: is pretty inappropriate on the phone, there's some racist kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. I mean, maybe we should cut this, but
Speaker 1: it was there was for me, I thought, what were they?
Speaker 1: Because I didn't clock what she was saying on the phone.
Speaker 1: I was I don't know if I want to repeat it.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to repeat it, but it was she's
Speaker 1: on the phone to somebody in China, and there's like
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that's like oh my gosh, yeah
Speaker 1: really leaning into um yeah. I don't know whether or
Speaker 1: not to address this or not, but I will say
Speaker 1: there's that moment where I was like, that's not okay.
Speaker 1: And then then there was another moment that was not
Speaker 1: okay with you and Schmidt. There's another moment that happens
Speaker 1: with Schmidt Knight at the bar where where he he
Speaker 1: he talks to me in an Indian accent, which is
Speaker 1: super racist, and then I say to him, you know what, Um,
Speaker 1: I should leave because uh, I don't want you to
Speaker 1: have to be around Kyle, who's going to get a
Speaker 1: little racist. When Schmidt was just a little racist to
Speaker 1: my face, which that that was a weird moment of
Speaker 1: like and then at the end to um, Kyle's like
Speaker 1: on the swing and he's like yeah, he says, but
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When Kyle says the thing that's a
Speaker 1: little racist. I've already said this guy gets racist. That's
Speaker 1: one thing. But it's very weird when Schmidt it talks
Speaker 1: to me in an Indian accent, and then I look
Speaker 1: at him call you a baby like he's like, but
Speaker 1: he just says that in talking to someone baby too.
Speaker 1: It's very stra you. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. It's a
Speaker 1: very weird moment. But the fact that my response to
Speaker 1: it is like, oh, that's cute. I gotta go. This
Speaker 1: guy's gonna get racist was the moment where I was like, so,
Speaker 1: I think the lesson we learned in this moment is
Speaker 1: that CC loves racist. Who yeh, who knew that was
Speaker 1: a character because he tried to date Coach and didn't
Speaker 1: work out, and you went straight back to the racist
Speaker 1: tied to date Vrangue. It didn't work out, back to
Speaker 1: the racist. You know, CC, you got some issues. Um.
Speaker 1: So yes, they they Nick gets to Julia's office. They're
Speaker 1: supposed to have a Valentine His Day date, and when
Speaker 1: he gets there, to his surprise, he's greeted by Clark Duke. Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, he says some super inappropriate things about Julia. Julia,
Speaker 1: But it reads to me the thing I thought about
Speaker 1: it reads to me like the um I carried a
Speaker 1: watermelon moment from Dirty Dancing. When he then finds out
Speaker 1: that he's not talking to like a bike messenger. He's
Speaker 1: talking to Julia's boyfriend. Um, he's been outed, And that
Speaker 1: moment of like pure humiliation when you're like, I thought
Speaker 1: this was something very different, and now I feel so awkward.
Speaker 1: It just reminded me of that I had a story
Speaker 1: like that, and I'm sorry that it's I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: side trick, but I had a terrible story like that, terrible,
Speaker 1: terrible story. I used to host back in a Day
Speaker 1: for BT, and I was I had to interview this
Speaker 1: artist and she she, uh, we're at a roll Kate
Speaker 1: bowling alley, a bowling alley and Atlanta maybe. And I
Speaker 1: had to interview a few artists, but one in particular
Speaker 1: was this young young rapper and she a lot of
Speaker 1: folks didn't know who she was yet. She had only
Speaker 1: put out a mixtape and she was so dope, but
Speaker 1: I had never seen what she looked like. And and
Speaker 1: this is I don't want this to come on the
Speaker 1: wrong way, So I do apologize to listeners who might
Speaker 1: find I'm not trying to be offensive what I'm but
Speaker 1: what I am saying. A guy who she who was
Speaker 1: with her, I thought maybe he was because he was
Speaker 1: holding her stuff and helping her get set up and
Speaker 1: prepped and glammed and all that stuff like that. He
Speaker 1: was kind of doing everything and and we're standing there
Speaker 1: talking and I for the first time she she was
Speaker 1: built differently, you know, she she had some ships ship,
Speaker 1: but cheeks I've never seen before. And I just went
Speaker 1: and I was standing right next to him because he
Speaker 1: was wearing she was wearing like a one piece of
Speaker 1: cat suit, and I just went, ohh. I looked at him.
Speaker 1: He went, I know right, and I said whoa and
Speaker 1: he was like, I know, And it was Nicki Minaj
Speaker 1: and I interviewer. At the end, him and I were
Speaker 1: talking again. I realized this is her boyfriend, and I
Speaker 1: went more yet, but he kind of egged it on,
Speaker 1: he encouraged it. He just shocked me. It just shocked me.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all I'm trying to say. I was
Speaker 1: blown away. You were blown away, blown away, you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to me, keeping Naj high Hi. It's like
Speaker 1: everybody's got that I carried a watermelon moment. We're just
Speaker 1: like a watermelon. I knew that was coming. It's like
Speaker 1: I said it. I was like, you set it up.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh my god. More it's
Speaker 1: say something about wait for there. I used to have
Speaker 1: this a teacher that was from Kentucky, and I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: By the way, this guy should be like fully fired.
Speaker 1: But I remember walking into class with a friend of
Speaker 1: mine who also um had a figure on her. But
Speaker 1: we were in maybe first year high school. And iron
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. It's funny the things that live in
Speaker 1: your head permanently, like unlike this episode for you Lettle,
Speaker 1: more like this uh comment from one years ago under
Speaker 1: his breath, he went just like two pigs wrestling in
Speaker 1: a guinea sack. No. Who teacher said that a teacher,
Speaker 1: this teacher from Kentucky. I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: I was in grade nine. He also told us. He
Speaker 1: sat down and he's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna help
Speaker 1: you ladies out there in the world because you're gonna
Speaker 1: get out in the world one day. And this is
Speaker 1: the advice he gave us. Keep your eyes open and
Speaker 1: your legs closed, that's he said. And yet he's making
Speaker 1: comments about her body. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Probably you know. It's like his own two demons wrestling
Speaker 1: inside him. He's like I would like to warn you
Speaker 1: away from objectifying students. That's right to scarnd our own business.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm happy Valentine's Day you guys. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back with mar Clark Duke, Welcole. We're back with
Speaker 1: more Clark Duke. Um. So uh. Clark Duke obviously a
Speaker 1: very funny individual. He plays Julia's assistant. This Nick a k.
Speaker 1: A J. Johnson, very funny individual. Lizzie Caplan, very funny individual.
Speaker 1: Those three and that that was very funny back and
Speaker 1: forth to me, m um, and you know, three wonderful improvisers.
Speaker 1: I talked to Clark um about his time on the
Speaker 1: show him. I called him, I called him and recorded.
Speaker 1: Did you tell him you're recording? No? I didn't tell him.
Speaker 1: I was recording the conversation to Las Vegas to make
Speaker 1: sure it was legal to record without Did you do
Speaker 1: it on a subway party? I didn't exactly, but we
Speaker 1: have this recording. UM. Hopefully he'll sign off on it later. UM,
Speaker 1: so listen to it. You might have to. Did you
Speaker 1: get the email, Zoe? I did. We'll listen to it
Speaker 1: and we'll say, hey, Clark, do here. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to recount my New Girl memories off the top of
Speaker 1: my head without any real planning, but hopefully in chronological order.
Speaker 1: So here goes. I think I had met Liz Maryweather
Speaker 1: socially before the show over came out, because we had
Speaker 1: a mutual friend in Max Winkler. And I also remember
Speaker 1: before the show over came out that my agent had
Speaker 1: sent me the New Girl pilot and I read it
Speaker 1: and thought it was really fantastic writing. But I had
Speaker 1: just wrapped like five years on the show called Greek,
Speaker 1: and I was so burned out because truthfully, because it
Speaker 1: was so long ago now it doesn't matter. Um, I
Speaker 1: was really unhappy on that show and I tried to
Speaker 1: get off of it for years and they would not
Speaker 1: let me out of the contract. So that contract really
Speaker 1: scared me off of even like considering like a series
Speaker 1: regular role for a long time, like like five plus
Speaker 1: years until I did the show call I'm dying up here.
Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I have no clue if anybody actually like
Speaker 1: had me in mind for New Girl, or if my
Speaker 1: agent was just sending it to me to read and
Speaker 1: audition or whatever. But all of that is to say
Speaker 1: I was aware of the show, and I was a
Speaker 1: fan of the pilot, even though I'm pretty sure I
Speaker 1: had not actually watched the show when I did my
Speaker 1: guest spot episode. As for my recollections of filming my
Speaker 1: actual episode that I did of New Girl, I think
Speaker 1: all my scenes were just with Jake and Lizzie Kaplan,
Speaker 1: both of whom I knew already from real life, so
Speaker 1: it was a pretty fun and stress free environment for me.
Speaker 1: Lizzie I knew from Hot Tip Time Machine, and I
Speaker 1: knew Jake from Clark and Michael. Anybody that doesn't know
Speaker 1: Clark and Michael was my thesis film in college, and
Speaker 1: then me and Michael Sarah ended up selling it to
Speaker 1: CBS and doing a web series in like two thousand seven,
Speaker 1: which was approximately thirty years ahead of its time because
Speaker 1: people still had like DSL internet. But anyway, Jake had
Speaker 1: done an episode of that and I thought he was
Speaker 1: legit one of the funnier people I've ever met, So yeah, overall,
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was super fun. You know,
Speaker 1: Guest spots are great because the regulars are usually just
Speaker 1: exhausted and just like grinding it out week after weeks,
Speaker 1: so they're pretty happy to have a new person to
Speaker 1: play around with I remember riffing and improving a lot,
Speaker 1: because Jake and Lizzie are both great at that, and
Speaker 1: you know, just having a great time and Jake and
Speaker 1: everybody going, oh, we gotta have you back, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and all that ship everybody says. But I think the
Speaker 1: whole thing was like a half day tops, or or
Speaker 1: maybe just like a couple hours. I ended up becoming
Speaker 1: friends with you and Max years later, but I don't
Speaker 1: think I even saw or met either one of you
Speaker 1: all that day. But you may remember this and I don't.
Speaker 1: And I have never met Zoe to this day. Oh
Speaker 1: and to bring it full circle, me and Lizzie Kaplan
Speaker 1: are currently starting together on a show on Netflix called
Speaker 1: Inside Job, which everybody should check out. I'll get that.
Speaker 1: It would be my one cheap plug here. All right,
Speaker 1: that's all I got. Wait, I lied. I have one
Speaker 1: more anecdote, which is that I'm pretty sure that was
Speaker 1: the only time I've ever actually filmed anything on the
Speaker 1: Fox loot over on Pico. So that's a pretty cool
Speaker 1: personal history for me. Checking that one off the list.
Speaker 1: All right, that's now, and now it's officially all I got.
Speaker 1: It's so funny that he was just like friends with
Speaker 1: everybody got to hang out. I still haven't met Clark Duke,
Speaker 1: and um, he was really funny on the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I met it either. That was a strange thing about
Speaker 1: you when you shoot these episode oodes, there are full
Speaker 1: guest stars, moments, things shot that you people you never met,
Speaker 1: things you never saw like one of I remember watching
Speaker 1: this episode for the first time and being so shocked
Speaker 1: by the cock fight in Mexico that Jake does. I
Speaker 1: was like, when was this shot? When do they have
Speaker 1: a Mexico shocked? That was a funny cutaway though, because
Speaker 1: it was I was surprised. Yeah, one of the funniest
Speaker 1: cutaways I think in New Girl was that it was
Speaker 1: just so unexpected, told you so much about that character,
Speaker 1: especially when he lays down just to tack to the chicken.
Speaker 1: Also made you question, like does he remember things correctly?
Speaker 1: Because I'm exactly Freddie one of my favorite cutaways. Okay,
Speaker 1: Freddie has been a rough couple of years. So so
Speaker 1: where are we? Uh, let's so we meet Clark Duke.
Speaker 1: We we were in there with Julia. It turns out
Speaker 1: Nick thought the state was going to go one way,
Speaker 1: but she's busy. She's a lawyer and she's got depositions,
Speaker 1: lots of depositions. That's what lawyers do. They do depositions
Speaker 1: to talk to China. So so it doesn't go yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and I mean disrespectful how she was talking too on
Speaker 1: the phone on the fus like lots of texts. She
Speaker 1: kept saying, like what you text me wasn't okay? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is the nature of this hold up
Speaker 1: that's keeping you here all night? I started, I feel
Speaker 1: like you could deal with this tomorrow. Are you just
Speaker 1: like blowing nick off? Yeah? I don't like it one bit.
Speaker 1: I don't like it one bit. I'm already I'm already
Speaker 1: like her for him. Yeah, yeah, okay. So we go
Speaker 1: over to this the bar and at the W Hotel
Speaker 1: in Westwood. Do you guys remember I didn't remember, Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's still there, to the W Hotel and
Speaker 1: was what I think it's like on Gaily or something
Speaker 1: like that. L A, Yeah, I know it. And it
Speaker 1: was funny because we were like shooting it at night
Speaker 1: at a real bar. I mean, you know, we're shooting
Speaker 1: it at night at a real bar that um, you know,
Speaker 1: it didn't have you know, we cleared it out like
Speaker 1: we I think, you know, had it for the night
Speaker 1: for the show, but it's still like they filled it
Speaker 1: up with people. Kind of felt like we really were
Speaker 1: at a bar, which was funny. M h. You know,
Speaker 1: it's always interesting when that happens. How much money is
Speaker 1: spent on shutting an actual bar down get out? We
Speaker 1: have to hire people day night though, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It was not like but imagine being that
Speaker 1: that old dude who's who just loves going to the
Speaker 1: bar on business. But it did a hotel. You pay
Speaker 1: to be at the hotel. You want to go down
Speaker 1: and have a drink, and they're like, nah, can they
Speaker 1: probably have two bars? Guys, they probably have another bar
Speaker 1: I do too or something. You know, you're gonna google
Speaker 1: it now. The four people have they also I believe
Speaker 1: they have, you know what, I actually believe that we
Speaker 1: shut off part of the bar and that they probably
Speaker 1: had like the other part probably. So so just is
Speaker 1: there to see if she can have a one night stand,
Speaker 1: which means she can have zero emotional connection. Otherwise it'll
Speaker 1: be a two, three, four night stand two relationship. That's
Speaker 1: right exactly. So someone you find sexually attractive but are
Speaker 1: not interested in um in any other way. Right, And
Speaker 1: she first is talking this guy, but seems like she
Speaker 1: has emotional connection and see seeing Schmidt or like, no,
Speaker 1: you're already too connected to him. He was too sweet.
Speaker 1: He was from Oregan. Yeah, connections. Yes, she meets Ryan
Speaker 1: quantin what's his character? I mean, what's the character? Yes,
Speaker 1: from True Blood everybody, and she has zero emotional connection.
Speaker 1: He really loves tacos. He loves lunch. I love lunch.
Speaker 1: Would have something in common guys, I like lunch. I'm
Speaker 1: not a lunch guy. But you know that's not that's
Speaker 1: none of my business. You couldn't have hooked up with
Speaker 1: him then, and I couldn't have and I wouldn't have honestly,
Speaker 1: shirt too tight. Well, he was very very funny and
Speaker 1: such a nice guy. He's extremely nice guy, he wrote me,
Speaker 1: I think you know so nice? Yeah, writ think you
Speaker 1: know so? This is the person that that you know,
Speaker 1: she decides he's going to be the guy. This is
Speaker 1: going to be the guy she's gonna go with. And
Speaker 1: it's a bit strange, right because you get Schmidt to
Speaker 1: give you a ride because you need a ride, but
Speaker 1: then you want to kick him out and say you'll
Speaker 1: take a cab home. Yeah, that's part. That's part of
Speaker 1: the story that I was having a little trouble He's
Speaker 1: gonna take a spending my disbelief. I'm like, you need
Speaker 1: you to drive me here? Now, you need to get out.
Speaker 1: Why won't you leave? And then he's like, there are
Speaker 1: you this in the streets in the car? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they're watching Plan of the Apes. Yeah, and then his
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend walks in and by el mel right mel
Speaker 1: m Stevens is that Yeah, Yeah, she's very funny. He's
Speaker 1: extremely funny. She's a like a a real accomplished comedy actress, comedian.
Speaker 1: That was that was that to me when I when
Speaker 1: I when I was watching this episode, I thought, because
Speaker 1: again I forgot a lot of it, I said, oh,
Speaker 1: this is about to get crazy, about to get wild.
Speaker 1: And it did. So she walks in, there's a disagreement,
Speaker 1: there's a back and forth like a little fight her
Speaker 1: Jess Oliver, and then you know, and she's like wondering
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? And then and then
Speaker 1: Ceci walks in next right, because Jess has said get
Speaker 1: Schmidt out of here, and so I show up to
Speaker 1: get Schmidt out and so this is the reason why
Speaker 1: this episode six so strongly in my head because of
Speaker 1: this scene. So it's written in the script that then Schmidt,
Speaker 1: when I get into like fisticuffs with the X, it
Speaker 1: was being straight up disrespectful um that Schmidt throws Cec
Speaker 1: over his shoulder and like walks her out right. And
Speaker 1: I said to Max, Um, I don't think you're going
Speaker 1: to be able to like lift me like dead weight
Speaker 1: lift me and put you put me over your shoulder.
Speaker 1: So what can I do in the moment to help,
Speaker 1: like you want me to just kind of like not
Speaker 1: like no one will be able to see it, like,
Speaker 1: but could you want me to jump a little bit
Speaker 1: to help you as you go to go up so
Speaker 1: we can like tean this out. And he Max looked
Speaker 1: so offended. He's like, I got it. I can lift
Speaker 1: you over my shoulder. And I was like, no, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think you might need a little help. How can
Speaker 1: I help you? Anyway? He was at that time, that's right,
Speaker 1: So he but he would genuinely like I saw this
Speaker 1: as um an affront. And so then they called action,
Speaker 1: and I think he overcompensated a little bit and took
Speaker 1: it a half step too far and threw me over
Speaker 1: his shoulder with such force that I land ended my room.
Speaker 1: Kache landed on his shoulder and it knocked the wind
Speaker 1: out of me. So I couldn't breathe, you know that feeling.
Speaker 1: And so he picked me up and it slammed me
Speaker 1: into his shoulder and I was like, and I couldn't breathe,
Speaker 1: and I was super scary because I couldn't catch my breath.
Speaker 1: And he's saying his lines and marching out the house
Speaker 1: and puts me down with like a look of pride,
Speaker 1: like see I told you. And I'm like, and I
Speaker 1: finally got like the air back into my body, and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, okay, great. I was like, Max,
Speaker 1: because we have to do it again and again, right,
Speaker 1: that's the nature of television. I was like, I believe you,
Speaker 1: please be gentle killed me. Um So, yes, he can
Speaker 1: lift the dead weight and put it over his shoulder.
Speaker 1: But that's the reason why it's like one of those
Speaker 1: like on Our Responses Valentine's Day episode, the one where
Speaker 1: I nearly died. That's what I remember in this moment.
Speaker 1: It was a very um old school kind of slapsticky.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there word. You wouldn't call it vaudevillian, would you,
Speaker 1: with all the entrances, exits and the confusions and who's that, well,
Speaker 1: who's that? I don't know who's this person? Yeah? Farctical
Speaker 1: like French, like a French farce. Yeah, people slamming bedroom doors, Hey,
Speaker 1: who are you? Yeah, you're here? Reminded me of this play.
Speaker 1: I think it was called what's it called, Noises Off?
Speaker 1: Noises off? Kind of d me of noises off, a
Speaker 1: lot of doors opening and closing. And then and then
Speaker 1: you think it's going to blow up to this thing,
Speaker 1: and it kind of does. He walks out with you,
Speaker 1: just throws a glows stick out the door to get
Speaker 1: to get the other racist out, just throws a glow
Speaker 1: stick out the door to get what's his name again, Kyle,
Speaker 1: Kyle Kyle out of the door. My apologies, Steven, and
Speaker 1: and and then and then the thing that shocked me
Speaker 1: the most it was after all that Jess was like,
Speaker 1: finally it just goes back on that they have a plan.
Speaker 1: I'm not letting the plan, which is really interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 1: The other moment that I was like, what is Cecy's
Speaker 1: nonchalance when her boyfriend starts making out with a strange
Speaker 1: girl and just goes, hey, you're going home with me
Speaker 1: and are going to sleep with meat and nice? Can
Speaker 1: we leave? And I was like, immediately after he beat himself,
Speaker 1: was like, ceci needs to get some self respect. What
Speaker 1: are you doing? And then it starts taking out with
Speaker 1: another woman and I'm like, you're mine. She's like still
Speaker 1: saying that he's going on with her. I mean, at
Speaker 1: that point, I think the pea point, you'd be like,
Speaker 1: you know what in a cab, that's right, you're a
Speaker 1: bit far gone. What would you get here? This wouldn't
Speaker 1: count as consent. Well one p when one is on shrooms.
Speaker 1: I've never done shrims, but I'm assuming that is a
Speaker 1: response to listen on the side effect. So guys, the
Speaker 1: the takeaway is, don't do shrooms. You'll pee your pants
Speaker 1: pants and shot on your girlfriend and friend and you're
Speaker 1: not gonna remind you. C c uh. There's a little
Speaker 1: plot twist at the end of her own so I
Speaker 1: can't really, uh, you know, put her on some moral
Speaker 1: high ground here. Welcome. There's one thing I just want
Speaker 1: to go back to the bar and talk about that.
Speaker 1: Schmidt names his top five books which I was like,
Speaker 1: surprise Schmidt reads by his top five books. I just
Speaker 1: be't curious what you guys think of this Outliers by
Speaker 1: Malcolm Gladwell, Machiavelli's The Prince, Freak by John Leguizamo, any
Speaker 1: Vampire Diaries script from the first season, and the Phantom
Speaker 1: Toll Booths or Phantom t Um by Norton justter Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you think I was most surprised by Freak
Speaker 1: by John leg I want to say, out of all
Speaker 1: these books, that might be the only one that I read. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think it's also just a funny character thing to
Speaker 1: to be like right here off the tippy top my
Speaker 1: five favorite books. Bam, I feel like that's not something.
Speaker 1: Probably five only books is when I'm thinking that'd be funny.
Speaker 1: Five favorite and only books I've ever read in my life.
Speaker 1: But I can guarantee you you to have a top
Speaker 1: five favorite books. Yeah, sure, Yeah. The reason why I
Speaker 1: put it, the reason why I say it that way
Speaker 1: is because I definitely do not I'm like I read.
Speaker 1: But when I say, it's so little, every different things,
Speaker 1: not just straight up books. Um, it's I'll read for
Speaker 1: a purpose, like I have to read this book for
Speaker 1: a thing, or I have to you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Or someone suggested something and they're really strongly passionate about it,
Speaker 1: then I'll do it. But I have friends who know
Speaker 1: when the new whoever is coming out. Oh, such and
Speaker 1: such just released a new book. I go, I think,
Speaker 1: at the same M Kanye album. How would I know?
Speaker 1: I don't. So I used to read fiction. I don't
Speaker 1: read a lot of fiction. And I usually take in
Speaker 1: books um on um, like audible, right, because I just
Speaker 1: that's the easiest having you know, two kids, and like
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always like having to ultitask. I
Speaker 1: can't just like sit down with a book and you
Speaker 1: know it's it's I have very little time for that.
Speaker 1: So I can listen in the car, you know. So
Speaker 1: I usually take in books like that. I feel like
Speaker 1: I only have well I shouldn't. I have one way
Speaker 1: of reading a book when I'm realizing now is if
Speaker 1: you hand me a book and like it would be
Speaker 1: interesting if I start to read it and put it down, um,
Speaker 1: because life happens. Chances of me picking that book up
Speaker 1: again are almost zero. But if I pick up the
Speaker 1: book and start reading it again, if it's something for
Speaker 1: work or whatever. I will read the book. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if it's five pages that day. The speed read
Speaker 1: I figured that out in college. How to do it,
Speaker 1: how to just like read as fast as I can,
Speaker 1: like skim contextualized, pull it all in as fast as
Speaker 1: possible and absorb it. It's a really like. I mean,
Speaker 1: I wear glasses and um, it's hard. I can't. Like,
Speaker 1: I will fall asleep if I'm just looking at wards
Speaker 1: for that long. Like That's part of the reason why
Speaker 1: I listen. Um on, I listened to books because, um,
Speaker 1: it's just like I can. But I get really tired
Speaker 1: reading so with my eyes. But thank God for like
Speaker 1: being able to listen to books, guys, to all my
Speaker 1: books on my heart. I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Um okay, so we've established you too are smart. I
Speaker 1: am not. Can we just talk about this last moment
Speaker 1: of the episode where just like goes to Schmidt's room
Speaker 1: with her box of a hundred Before that, before that,
Speaker 1: before that, I want to talk about that hug at
Speaker 1: the end when you come in you guys, hug that
Speaker 1: was weird, you know, and he says you is it
Speaker 1: you Lang Lang fun fun fact? You guys, that's real.
Speaker 1: That's a gem I just dropped on you. Here's what's
Speaker 1: weird is that they in the story of the Fifty,
Speaker 1: they make Schmidt put fifty dollars in the jar from
Speaker 1: trying to make a move on Jess. But then Jazz
Speaker 1: goes to Schmidt's room with a box one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: colored condoms um and almost knocks on it. You should
Speaker 1: have put a jar per condom, that doll dollars in condom. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: at least just you know, so you know. I I
Speaker 1: but that was a very funny moment. I didn't think
Speaker 1: that's the thing because it happened once and it was
Speaker 1: on Schmidt's side, and now it's happened from Jess on
Speaker 1: the other side. So that's a reciprocated feeling, folks. Plot
Speaker 1: twist on plot twist, guys. So you never see it coming,
Speaker 1: and I think they hinted at it a couple of
Speaker 1: times throughout the episode that could be where this is going.
Speaker 1: In the beginning, you two decide to go and off
Speaker 1: onto this adventure, yourselves being the two single folks, right,
Speaker 1: and then at that moment where the hug happens, it
Speaker 1: looked as if it was about to be a story
Speaker 1: of the fifty thing again where Schmidt was about to
Speaker 1: move in on you but he didn't and he walks away,
Speaker 1: and then you go and move in on him, but
Speaker 1: you're stopped by a good friend, good friend Nick. But
Speaker 1: I think that this was the writers trying to I
Speaker 1: think they always kind of had C C and Schmidt
Speaker 1: in mind, and Nick and Jess and um and that
Speaker 1: they are. They were trying to kind of get people
Speaker 1: off that by having Jess kind of go there, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, And there was also part of having Julia
Speaker 1: in the mix because they didn't want like Nick and
Speaker 1: Jess to get together right away in any way because
Speaker 1: it would make people stop watching, right Maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: a little red herring. Yeah, yeah, it's a red herring. Also,
Speaker 1: I just one other thing I noticed which I was like,
Speaker 1: what we talked about the flip phone, remember early on
Speaker 1: that Nick has, and we're like, what like dates the show.
Speaker 1: We're like, maybe that's a Nick character thing, but Winnie
Speaker 1: the bish how the phone in this, So I'm like,
Speaker 1: it just does date the show. That is something that
Speaker 1: does little that keeping like Valentine's date two eight. And
Speaker 1: I was like, note to self, if you want to
Speaker 1: have evergreen show, just don't mention specific dates. Also like
Speaker 1: who was taking a cab? Well at that time, people
Speaker 1: were taking cabs, yeah, but didn't like Uber wasn't around
Speaker 1: until like yeah people, yeah, there's no yeah, maybe Uber.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing about I think I went to the
Speaker 1: White House Correspondence dinner in two or something and I
Speaker 1: sat next to the CEO of Uber and I was like, what, Suber,
Speaker 1: do you think that girls are going to get into
Speaker 1: a stranger's car didn't let it take them home? Well,
Speaker 1: it was first, it was it was at first it
Speaker 1: was you know, it was limos, like it was just
Speaker 1: off it was off duty, you know, um like town
Speaker 1: cars and limos and you know livery drivers um who
Speaker 1: were you know, like on their off hours, wanted to
Speaker 1: pick up some extra work because and it started because
Speaker 1: I guess it was really really hard to catch a
Speaker 1: cab in San Francisco. Oh yeah, oh hey wait, where's
Speaker 1: the bear? Oh well, it's a Mr Clark Duke. Mr
Speaker 1: Clark Duke. That's a little teddy back. It's all part
Speaker 1: of the v D package. He had a little teddy bear.
Speaker 1: That's right, part of the v Day package. This is
Speaker 1: like a literal bear. There's no stretch happening here. It's
Speaker 1: not someone's bar feet. I ain't reaching this chest in
Speaker 1: this one. That's true. Steven definitely at a bare chest.
Speaker 1: And don't Hannah, you're married, don't nod your head like that.
Speaker 1: Y'all can't see what she's doing. She's nodding her head.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he had a bare chest, but I
Speaker 1: don't have to reach for that. In terms of the
Speaker 1: bear more and slow your roll down back back. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about two things about this Valentine's Day episodes.
Speaker 1: And things don't turn out always the way that you
Speaker 1: are hoping now. In La More in in your storyline
Speaker 1: and Winston storyline, he thinks he's going on like a
Speaker 1: little romantic date with his his uh girlfriend Shelby, And
Speaker 1: when he gets there, she has all her friends there
Speaker 1: and uh and they're doing a girl's night in plus
Speaker 1: Winston Um and when Nick goes to pick up Julia,
Speaker 1: she's like still working and he ends up kind of
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time with um Clark Tuke's character.
Speaker 1: So how do you guys deal with being uh, you know,
Speaker 1: change of plans or Um, things turning out not exactly
Speaker 1: as you planned on a on a big holiday like
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day? Do you react well? Are you flexible? Can
Speaker 1: you roll with the punches? I do not like a plan.
Speaker 1: I'm not you don't like any plan, and I'm not
Speaker 1: like a big planner. I kind of like to see
Speaker 1: how the night goes. So this is kind of like
Speaker 1: a super fun evening to me. The way it's just
Speaker 1: kind of she's like just going in there being like,
Speaker 1: let's see who do I end up with? How is
Speaker 1: this going to happen? That's definitely a vibe that uh
Speaker 1: I can get with. Yeah, for me, it takes the
Speaker 1: pressure off of me. Yeah, if there is, if there's
Speaker 1: a plan, there's too much pressure because if it doesn't
Speaker 1: go according to plan and you feel like you're the
Speaker 1: night is failing, even though maybe your partner doesn't know that. Um,
Speaker 1: So it takes the pressure off of me. Also for me,
Speaker 1: I've been avoiding Valentine's Day for a long time. Number
Speaker 1: one breakup day day before day. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm cheap or just coincidence. I'm always single, but usually
Speaker 1: then begs the question of the nature of the relationship.
Speaker 1: Of the person if you're celebrating with them. So if
Speaker 1: you've all been casual and now it's Valentine's that you're
Speaker 1: spending it together, all of a sudden, it could take
Speaker 1: on some new, deeper meaning that you weren't ready to
Speaker 1: go to yet. That's right, So you got to evaluate, right.
Speaker 1: And also there's always that thing where it's like, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you have a person kind of show some
Speaker 1: affection and it's more than the other person balance, you know,
Speaker 1: and there's a name, yeah, exactly, Like that's awkward to like,
Speaker 1: you know, because if you didn't get something mm hmmmm,
Speaker 1: you didn't get a gift and other person did it,
Speaker 1: lets you know right away. Well. Also, here's the thing
Speaker 1: about Valentine's Day. It's true. Look about it's like Mother's
Speaker 1: Day brunch and Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve. Everybody's
Speaker 1: going out m M that day and they all want
Speaker 1: to have a nice meal and at that specific time,
Speaker 1: and so all restaurants are serving like prefix menus, which
Speaker 1: I hate, like I hate a prefix, Like I wanna
Speaker 1: like choose from the menu and with a right with
Speaker 1: a side of fries. But um um no, I mean
Speaker 1: like prefix and then it's always like you get there
Speaker 1: and it's like your table is not ready or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. It's like I don't I don't love like
Speaker 1: a dinner with like fifteen people at a restaurant or like,
Speaker 1: you know, an occasion that's like a big ends up
Speaker 1: being like a big hassle. Like you know, you go
Speaker 1: to like a movie with a bunch of friends and
Speaker 1: then somehow everybody's like, let's go go up to dinner,
Speaker 1: like and then like where should we go? And then
Speaker 1: no one can decide where to go, and then you
Speaker 1: finally decide and then you get there there's not enough
Speaker 1: tables and then like that just like I'd rather just
Speaker 1: go home and eat, you know, toast or something. What
Speaker 1: are you about to do? So I'm about to go
Speaker 1: home and open bid Valentine's Day? Jonathan, did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Go to the I like, I like to go out
Speaker 1: to dinner, but I would also be like we could
