Ring, ring, ring, ring. May I please speak with Zoe? Oh, hello, Lamorne. Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was like working with you guys. Welcome to our show. Welcome to our show.

Hi guys! Welcome to the show! Welcome to our show! Welcome to our show! I haven't seen you guys in a little bit. I know, I know. It's been a while. Time moves in a different way for us, the way that we record these things. So, jumping right in. Yes. Let's jump. This is called Bully, this episode. Yep. Bully. On this week's episode, Jess deals with a classroom bully. Pfft.

Brianna. I don't know how we feel about Brianna just yet. Played by a young Joey King. You've got to be kidding me. Now, while she trials her best to change the tone of the room through song, Brianna's cutting words get to tender hearted Jess. Y'all know she's sensitive. Now, in a moment of anger, Jess breaks Brianna's science fair project. Now, that's something you just don't do. You don't come for the kids like that.

When she comes clean to the entire school, Jess expects to get the hammer. Instead, she's welcomed to a sorority of kid-hating teachers. Meanwhile, Nick finds Julia's gift of a cactus perplexing. His imagination runs away with him as he begins viewing the plant as a bad omen for telling an impending breakup. Is Nick psychic?

is the cactus psychic. Now, while he tries his best to take care of the cactus, every action destroys it a little bit more. That cactus was messed up, y'all. It was jacked up, y'all saw it. It had bandages on all kinds of places. Now, panicked, he leaves Julia seven increasingly erratic voicemails. I'm not going to lie to you. I've done it. Now, when she returns from China, Julia realizes she doesn't want to be in a relationship with Nick and they break up.

Over in Schmidt's room, Cece begins a torrid love affair that embarrasses her. She sneaks in and out of the loft like a damn spy, makes Schmidt stay in her car while she's at a party like he's a little dog, she cracks the window for him like he's a little puppy, and finally, Cece admits that she doesn't like being shown off as a trophy and worries Schmidt wanted to tell people about their relationship simply to brag.

But our man Schmidt has a confession too. He's head over heels for CeCe. Y'all know what's coming next. He's so in awe of their being together that he wants to shout his love from the rooftops. She allows him to tell a waiter and he stands on the table and he tells the whole damn restaurant. Now back to the show.

directed by Dan Adias. Is that how you... Yes. Yes. I think it's Dan Adias. Dan Adias. And he had quite a pedigree, as I recall, that director. He directed The Wire and stuff like that. I mean, if you go to his Wikipedia, his list of... The list of shows that this man has directed is insane. There's Sopranos. Impressive. There's...

You know, here's the funny thing about it, though. So many shows. I'm talking shows from Miami Vice, the old school Miami Vice he's directed. If you look at his Wikipedia, though, the one show that's not on the list of shows that he's directed. What, New Girl? It's New Girl.

And I think... Well, it felt out of his... It felt like it was not his thing, maybe? Like, he's kind of a drama guy, right? Yes, but he had done a ton of Always Sunny. Oh, really? So right at the top of the episode, right, it's Schmidt and Cece kind of, like, fall into frame. And then you get that, like, funny scene of her being disgusted but satisfied. Mm-hmm. And...

I remember going into my trailer that morning and there was zero wardrobe set. There was just a robe, zero wardrobe. And so I went and was like, um, must be a mistake. Where's my wardrobe?

And it became a bit of an issue back and forth. And this was my first season on a show. It was also a network show. Like you can't have zero wardrobe. You have to at least have like. I didn't know those things. I was just, you know. Yeah. This whole show was a huge learning experience, I think, for all of us. For me in particular, I'd never done anything like this at all.

And so I remember putting this robe on to come to set to talk because there's literally no clothes. And I will never forget how incredible and wonderful Max Greenfield was in that moment. Because he had a lot more experience than me. And he literally, because you know, you have a bunch of our lovely crew on set, but mostly men. And he, Max used his like body to kind of like shield me.

Right, right, right. And it was a very vulnerable, strange moment. And then I think other people got involved. Yeah. Because I was, of course, upset and didn't understand. You're supposed to have, like, cover anyway. Like, you're supposed to, even if you're supposed to, like, look like you're naked, they're supposed to have, like, nude covers.

or something, you know. Right. It just didn't even make any sense. And so it was interesting. I'd completely forgotten about it, to be honest with you. But then I watched that moment where all they used, of course, is just doing this fake like, oh,

fall into the frame fully with blankets over us and then getting our clothes on. But it helped me learn to get my voice. It helped me learn like where the boundaries were. And it helped me realize that the men on our show, the actors on our show, the male actors on our show were such incredible allies in those moments where you needed people to kind of like stand shoulder to shoulder with you as a brother and be like, no, that's not how we roll on this show. And if she's not comfortable, I'm not comfortable. Yeah.

I never knew that. I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't know that either. I do remember it being a little tense on set during this episode, just for whatever reason. And I didn't remember exactly why. There was a big scene in the... Remember, we were in a gym or something for that science fair. Yeah, for the science fair. Yeah, and I do remember there being tension in general, but I just don't remember exactly why. But...

I remember why I felt weird. I felt not weird. I felt like, because again, this is my first time as well. First show. Um, and I was just getting into the flow of how Liz likes, you know, like to do things with, with Alton, which, which is my favorite thing to do now is, you know, have people throw jokes out and just stay loose and, and, you know,

And I remember being so nervous because of the ilk of Dan, because of his skill level. And I was so nervous that I don't, when I say I don't think he likes me, it wasn't, it was just because I was so mixed up in my head. He comes from such a strong background. Do I keep, do I play it straight or do I do bits differently?

And he just didn't he didn't have the same like vibe as most of our directors, I would say. Yeah. Like his his vibe was more like serious. He's very serious. He's very like serious guy. And serious guy. Yeah. And I remember one moment I did a bit or something like that. And he walks up and he goes and he goes, yeah, let's try the script on this one.

I laughed at it and went back to it. That was the only thing I was like, I wonder if he hates me now. I wonder if this guy is not a good actor. It is funny. Like we all kind of learned on this learning curve in like in front of each other and then in front of this huge audience. Yeah.

Because there's definitely moments I'm sure all of us had in later episodes, seasons, years where we knew how to stand up for ourselves or we knew our characters better. We knew our relationships with Erin O'Malley and Liz and Brett and Dave and who we could go talk to. But yeah, we just start. I was pretty I think I was like, look, I mean, I wish you'd come to me because I would have totally left.

helped with that, Hannah. I mean, I know that now. And like, I knew that later on. If you texted me, I would have, you know, been on it. Oh, I know that now. I didn't know that. We didn't have text back then. Yeah, no. Because I, yeah. So old we are. No, no. We did have texts. We did. That's true. I did definitely learned about the strength of like the sisterhood and later seasons. Yeah.

to be able to go to you and Liz and Aaron, especially if it was something around like a girl thing, like not being comfortable with something. And it would just go away. You know what I mean? It was just something that was dealt with and handled with because we had such a female led set, which was really wonderful. I would,

All right, let's dive into this episode because this episode is actually great. Let's dive. So like you and Schmidt, I mean, Cece and Schmidt are carrying on a clandestine affair behind the backs of the roommates. In the apartment where everybody is. In the apartment where everybody is. And I mean, yeah.

Jess and Winston are so dumb that all Winston has to do is say there's a crescent moon outside and they look for long enough for Cece to sneak in. Okay, here's my question, right? Because...

I've always been compared to a young Nick Cage, thank you.

And I've always been compared to a middle share award winning share. And I go, are these just two like Moonstruck references? Because it's one of my favorite movies of all time. That's what everyone's, that's the whole show is a Moonstruck. Or am I just like seeking it out? Um,

And when it's not a reference to Moonstruck, it's a reference to mermaids. Okay. I text Brett and Dave today because I was like in the episode bully, it looks like two very clear Moonstruck references. And they were like, genuinely, Hannah, this was a thousand years ago. Don't remember. But there's no way somebody walks up to somebody and goes, snap out of it.

and a comedy that is not a reference to Moonstruck. So feel free to say that. I really don't think you're correct. Really? When they stand in the profile shot, I'm going to post this. Okay, I'm going to post this in my stories. Okay, but there had been a whole lot of movies that had profile shots looking at moons and then saying snap out of it. I just think there was a long film history before Moonstruck. Fun fact. That...

Dan Adias directed Moonstruck. No, that was Norman Jewison, Canadian hero. Okay, you know what we're going to do? I'm going to get Dave Finkel to contact the writer, Walpert, and to find this out because I am convinced. I think it's by accident, but I love how well versed you are with Moonstruck. That's awesome. I see it everywhere, you guys. I see

very adorable and maybe it was but i i just feel like i feel like i'm gonna bet my money on the other side on this okay let's do a friendly wager two dollars friendly wager two bucks quarters or could it be a two dollar bill because i have a two dollar bill all right okay i will take that bet

$2 bill. See you next episode. $2 bill. Money. Okay. All right. So the other thing I loved about that moment in bed is that Max goes...

boobies and I am very immature with my sense of humor and you can see me laughing. You are not. You are not. I can be and I was like I'm like a teenage boy and he said and that means that there was not one single take wherein like I did not laugh because I'm clearly laughing in that moment like real me laughing I couldn't hold it together.

I do have to say that Max had a lot of really great Schmidt moments in this episode. Party with Havarti. One of my favorites. When he sends the girl into Nick's room. Yeah, that was very good. Yeah, it was definitely like a shining Schmidt. And also I loved when you guys go to the...

to the restaurant at the end and he's um telling everybody that he's sleeping with you but you have driven out to some like random really far restaurant to make sure to make sure yeah oh my god okay okay mullins can we just talk about this moment where oh yeah this was was this the first thing this is the debut of two of two winston characters right yeah lightning

Theodore K. Mullins in Brown Lightning, right? And so in this moment with Theodore K. Mullins, the first take I did it normally and I thought, no, I gotta, I need to do something else with this person, with this character and change my voice somewhat and I started channeling Russell Hornsby, the actor and there are some times where he gets like real dramatic. His voice quivers in the back of his throat sometimes. He's a phenomenal actor and I was just doing, I was doing a Russell Hornsby impression and

So for all the folks out there, because I've been asked a bunch of times. If you were wondering. It's Russell Hemsby. That's what I'm doing. Yeah. Well, that's a very cool tidbit. I feel like you see Max do a real laugh in that coverage, too. Like, not a Schmidt laugh. Yeah, like a real break when you do this, like, love on the down low. It was very funny. I like when Nick's like,

Yeah, Theodore K. Mullins isn't my type. Was that Nick or was that Schmidt? One of them said that. I think that was Schmidt. That was Schmidt. Okay. One of them said it and it was funny. I've been watching so much Minx, Jake's show. Yeah. And I've taken a break from doing the rewatch episodes that when Jake entered Clean Shaven...

And just like with a fresh haircut, I was just like, oh, my gosh, you look so different. And I'm like, no, no, this is normal for a new girl. But it genuinely took me aback. I'm so used to seeing him. Yeah. I'm so used to seeing him so minx-y. It's very different.

Yes. Can you talk to us, Zoe, because I was not there for any of these scenes about this sad sparrow song? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wrote that song. I can't remember. I wrote one of the songs. I'm pretty sure it was the sad sparrow song. I didn't write the lyrics. I wrote the music. And then the other one was written by Ludwig.

Ludwig. Ludwig Gorenson, our wonderful composer who also now is an Oscar-winning composer. And yeah, he and I pre-recorded those together. And yeah, it was fun. I know Liz really, I know she loved that. She said, I don't know.

She had that song some... I don't know if she really liked that song. I really liked that song. For some reason. It was very catchy. It would have gone viral in a teasing video. Hannah, you liked that song. Give us a little bit of it. I can't remember. I don't remember it, to be honest. And it was so memorable that I forgot whether... I forgot which one I wrote. I'm pretty sure it was the Sad Sparrow one. It feels more like me than the other one.

Like my writing style, guys. But yeah, so guys, Joey King, star of stage and screen. Or I don't know. Is she star of stage? Star of screens. All the screens. All the screens. The big, the small, the medium.

was a kid in this episode and a very scary bully. Yes. I'm actually very scared of mean kids. They're truth tellers. They're truth tellers. That's how they get you. You're probably scared because with mean kids, like if you are a grown up and someone's mean to you, you can be mean back or you can check them. If you can't check a child. Excuse me, actor age, not your shoe size. Yeah.

Yeah, but you can snap their science fair project in half. Yes, you can. Yeah, you can. But so I love a 12-year-old whose main burn was, are you barren? Yeah.

Oh, my goodness. That also, anytime you see a mean child, and we've all encountered a few in our lives, where now later in life I realize, oh, you are just a mouthpiece for your parents. Yeah. I'm like, oh, I've learned nothing about you as a little tiny person. This is completely taught.

I don't know, though, guys, because I have met totally not nice kids who have lovely parents. Well, you know, what I'm gathering is sometimes it's it's so my kid loves she loves to scream randomly. She loves to just go to the primal. Well, she's your kid is only she's almost two. She's a couple months. Yeah, she's still very small. But I realized something. I said, man, no one no one in this house screams. All right.

And I thought, okay, where is she getting this from? And I co-parent, you know, and I asked the mom, what's going on? She's like, I don't do that. And so I remember sitting down and watching Vivo, right? And there's this one scene in Vivo, multiple times, but the little girl in the show just screams every time Vivo, and she

And she'll go, and then every time she does that, my kid would do the exact same scream. And then I go, and I put two and two together. It's her favorite movie. She was getting a lot of that from this particular movie and it hasn't left her. It's like, that's when it started.

Right. Yeah. And I pieced it together. That was it. You know, so sometimes it's not the parents. It's it's, you know, that's true. They're little friends. Yeah. The little shows. Mm hmm. They're also people that live in the house. They also get like more, you know, they they start trying to manipulate you to get what they want at a certain point. And then they do things that you don't like to do.

kind of and she probably like can see you don't love that you know she's like interesting he hates this let me do it again oh fun fact also about Joey King in this episode she was wearing a wig oh yeah she had shaved her head for Dark Knight she's the little girl in that film

Yes, I remember that. I thought that when I heard that when we were filming this episode, with Dark Knight, this movie has since become my favorite of the superhero movies. I thought, that's so cool. I worked with that person right there. Yeah. It's my favorite, you know. But yeah, I thought that was an interesting thing. I was like, why is this little girl wearing, why is she wearing a wig? Like, that's weird. Yeah.

It was a very cute wig, by the way. I was coveting that hairstyle the whole time I watched the episode. I'm like, that's a very nice bob.

Yeah, it is very cute. And she is a very good actress. Can we just talk about science fairs for a second? Did you guys ever enter into a science fair? Oh, yes, very much, yes. I have and didn't do a good job, I remember. I was like, what? Everything was... I remember doing the eighth grade science fair and I was like, no.

None of this is... I was like, what's interesting to me? And I was like, makeup. I want to make makeup. And so I made makeup, but I didn't do a great job at it, guys. I remember I did...

a science fair project, classic. Are men smarter than women? Are women smarter than men? So I built like a maze out of styrofoam. We know the answer to that. We do. And I convinced my mom to let me go and like to the pet store and get guinea pigs and mice and bunnies. This is true. And we kept them all in our bathroom. This is in Cyprus. And

ended up finding homes for the bunnies and the guinea pigs because after about three hours my mom was like this is like what did I agree to this is crazy um so we just had the the mice I had a little boy that was a brown one and a little girl that was a white one and then we lost the little brown one I'm sorry we lost the white one I brought a big thing of talcum powder and tried to cover the brown one in talcum powder to make it white oh you nobody would know that's exactly

I tried to cover the fact that I- Hannah, you tried to whitewash the brown.

That's right. Oh, my gosh. It's a deeper issue of me growing up in the 80s as a little brown girl, okay? I understand the metaphor here. I get it, okay? I'm covered in talcum powder. And now we know talcum powder causes cancer, too. So you might have given that mouse cancer. We were all covered in talcum powder as a baby. That's the thing that's pretty crazy. Well, on that really positive note of Traumatic Science Fair, so we're going to throw it a break. See you on the other side. ♪

BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Every Friday, we're popping off with pop culture news you can't stop talking about. Like our recent episode with TV host, influencer, and entrepreneur Julissa Bermudez, we got into pop

culture stories like the new Devil Wears Prada movie. I did a poll because I was really curious to know if my followers are just as excited and if people are like, yay or nay or not another one, you know, because there's that. But they're genuinely excited. And someone responded, which I think is the same sentiment. I was like, you know what? That's a really good point. Better to have the sequel rather than the remake.

Because honestly, that movie, there is nothing to change about it or remake about it. It is a perfect movie. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

from break you crack yourself up every single time i don't know why it's your favorite thing and we are black all three of us can we talk about where's the bear where's the bear did you find it this episode science fair in the science fair stuff bear

Is the big stuff? Is that obvious? Where's the bear? Where's the bear? You know what? It's not obvious because there's a lot going on in set deck for that episode. So it's definitely a hunt. But there's a bear. Boom. We found it this episode. We did not do anything. We did a great job collectively as a unit finding the bear. And I'm really, really excited about that. Yeah. Lamorne's excited. You like the participation award, huh? I do. I do.

Jess, Jess, Zoe. Oh, wait, I have a funny story to tell really quick. Oh, wait, no, you go ahead. No, mine wasn't. You go much. No, I was just going to ask. You got you got something scrubbed from the Internet. And I was just curious, like, what call? Like, who's your character? Oh, when I was on the Internet. Yeah.

When I asked, I don't know. I was actually thinking the same thing. I was like, who am I on the phone with? How do you get, how do you scrub yourself from the internet? Maybe I called Google. No, here's my story, you guys. I was shopping yesterday. I was at Sephora and two middle school girls came up to me and asked me if I was a teacher at their school. Okay.

Get out. And I was like, no, no, I'm not. And then I was like, well, that's the best compliment that they believed that I was anything other than an actor. She really said was, you dumb bitch. Do teachers drive private planes? Definitely not what you said. Yeah, because I drive to Sephora.

I'm a private plane driver. It's my job. I'm not going to comment on that. You're the only one that drives a private plane. You just did. You just did. You have fat cars. I know you have all kinds of fancy cars that fly, okay? No, not me. Not me at all. In this episode, Nick...

There's a lot of relationship stuff happening, obviously. And, you know, Nick gets broken up with. Yeah. Everything was going fine. And then he just sabotages himself with his own insecurities. And seeing those insecurities is what causes Julia to be like, yeah, I can't do this. He pulls a Jon Favreau in Swingers. Do you remember that moment in Swingers where Jon Favreau keeps calling the girl who gave

she just gave him her number and he keeps calling her and calling her and calling her until it's like he's completely ruined it.

Great moment. And another person who does that very well is Mr. Jake Johnson. He does a great phone sabotage. But you know that Julia had to leave the show because she was a guest star. And you know any guest star, like, there is going to be killed off. Not killed off, but, like, the relationship will get killed off at some point. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, it's interesting because you know it's coming.

And you know what's going to happen. And then you develop some sort of, you know, I'm not, you know, friends with her, but I thought that she's dope. She's cool. She's really awesome. Yeah. And then you go, oh, it's that episode. Oh, she has to leave now. I know. It's one of those things about our show. I was sad. I wish she could have been on longer. Yeah. It's one of the things about the show, though, that I love as like a fan of our show is that it wasn't just Julia coming and saying,

I'm breaking up with you or I've moved on because it's easy to make the guest star the villain so you can keep your heroes kind of protected. But we learned so much about Nick's character and how much he wants to try to be better and grow and is not comfortable with all the things he's not good at and he wants to fix those. We learned so much about him and he was the reason

that she ends up not being able to stay with him because he's not ready to be in a real relationship yet. And you learn all of that through a cactus and how great Jake is, you know, in handling how they gave him that storyline. He did try to put the cactus back together. I know it's all taped together. In a symbolic turn. I have a similar story that's, I'm not sure if I've ever told you guys this story. Tell us.

There was this lovely young actress that I was dating back in the day. I wouldn't say dating. It was more like we were talking, casually talking in a flirtatious way. Okay, so dating? Loosely. I would say loosely. Loosely dating. Loosely dating. And I hadn't

I guess I don't know the rules of courtship. Sometimes if I'm in a relationship, it just kind of happened. You know what I mean? And organically. Well, you have to fight for her in an organized night fight with swords and stuff. I would have. Well, it was going to come to that at one point. This was a weird situation because she was a foreigner, right? And she had a very cool foreigner energy. And I was like, man, how do I? What are you in black?

we're hannah and i are both giving you like a video on this because my face is twisted up into so many i'm trying to say things i'm trying to say without being too specific country she's from a different country and she's just very not for she was a foreigner and had a fort like in a great way i thought man this is super cool she's super like free and like energetic in a way that i hadn't dated in that time and um and her view on the world was different and so we it

A friend of mine suggested that I bring her flowers. And I thought, that's stupid. I'm not doing that. And he was like, dude, I'm telling you, she's going back out of town. She's only in town for a little bit. And now it's going to be this long distance thing. Just get her flowers before she goes. I call a flower shop. I go to a flower shop on my way to her place.

all I had left was like like succulents like with like succulents with these little weird daisies popping out of them and I was like I guess this is all I have really I guess I'll get her this right and I go and I go to her place and I bring it I think it's just gonna be her and I and she's having like a party like there's like there's like 10 people in her apartment and they all look at me like this loser this

I gave it to her. The rest of the party was awkward. The next day she sends me a note, a text like, listen, I don't think it's going to work out. Oh my God. It's not going to work out. I was so hurt. Like when I say hurt, like I still, I still think about it every once in a while. Like, damn, that's succulent. So do you know what happened, Lamorne? What just happened? What? She was Patrick Swayze and you were Jennifer Gray and you carried a watermelon.

Oh, I don't remember. I don't know that reference. I know it, but I don't think I was in Dirty Dancing. Jennifer Grey's really excited to go to like the sexy, cool Patrick Swayze. And she's got this watermelon. And then he opens the door and it's like a huge party. And he's like looking super cool and sexy. And she's like, I carried a watermelon. And he's like, yeah, cool, man. And it's a very awkward moment.

I get that. I get that weird moment where you're just like, I was trying to do the thing and my friend gave me advice. And so I've showed up to try to do the thing. And now I'm really worse and you don't like me. Sometimes it works out because it's against your instinct. And, you know, sometimes it works out and then sometimes it doesn't. And then it really makes it hard because you went against your instinct by bringing her the flower, the cactus flower. And that's always tough. Sure.

She wasn't ready to be in a real relationship. The title of this episode is called Bully. Bully. Have you ever had a bully or been bullied?

Have I ever been bullied? Of course I have. Look at me. Isn't that crazy? It's kind of a universal experience. Look at me. I feel like everybody has been bullied at some point. I have the face of somebody who has been bullied, guys. And personality. All right. Should we take a break before we wrap up this wonderful episode? And come back and play True American. Yeah, we'll come back and play True American. All right. I'm so ready to play. Let's go. Let's go.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

I did a poll because I was really curious to know if my followers are just as excited and if people are like,

yay or nay or not another one, you know, because there's that. But they're genuinely excited and someone responds, which I think is the same sentiment. I was like, you know what? That's a really good point. Better to have the sequel rather than the remake.

Because honestly, that movie, there is nothing to change about it or remake about it. It is a perfect movie. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Meet the real woman behind the tabloid headlines in a personal podcast that delves into the life of the notorious Tori Spelling as she takes us through the ups and downs of her sometimes glamorous, sometimes chaotic life and marriage. I don't think he knew how big it would be, how big the life I was given and live is.

I think he was like, oh, yeah, things come and go. But with me, it never came and went. Is she Donna Martin or a down-and-out divorcee? Is she living in Beverly Hills or a trailer park? In a town where the lines are blurred, Tori is finally going to clear the air in the podcast Misspelling. When a woman has nothing to lose, she has everything to gain. I just filed for divorce. Whoa. I said the words.

Welcome to True American, where the rules change weekly and you leave more confused than when you showed up. This week, we're playing J. Edgar Hoover's Bullies. We'll try to match these famous quotes to the famous bully who said them. You guys ready? Yeah. Let's do it. I mean, I feel like this one's the first one's obvious. OK. Bully number one. Hello. Hello. Anybody home? Huh.

Think, McFly, think. I gotta have time. Wait, I gotta have time to get them retyped. Do you realize what would happen if I handed my reports in your handwriting? I'll get fired. I'm sorry, I'm doing a very bad acting job. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? Would you? Look, this is why I don't play bullies also, because I'm not good at it. This is from Back to the Future. Yeah.

What's his name? Biff? Biff, right? That is correct. Shout out to Biff. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Fun fact, if you're living out there and your name is Biff, you are a asshole. Just by your name. Your name is, you can't have Biff. All right, Bully 2. Okay, do you want to read it? Sure. Oh, this is Susan from Planned Parenthood. I have her test results. If you could have her give me a call as soon as she can. It's urgent. Thank you.

The other example from that bully too is, I love her. She's like a Martian. And then the other one is, get in the car, losers. We're going shopping. Is this like from Mean Girls, maybe? It feels like Mean Girls, but that's like a stab in the dark. It feels like Regina. What's her name? Regina something. Yes. You got it right, guys. Get out. Ooh.

Thank you. Thank you. Felt like it. She's a classic, classic bully, but also sort of likable. Yeah. Classic bully. All right. Bully three. You want to go Lamorne? Listen, jerk. When I tell you to come, you better come. Um,

What's that face you made, Hannah? Just so you read it. It's so mean. That's why I made you bully. That's what they said. Well, you also read it like you were in a 1940s film noir. Jerk. When I tell you to come, you better come. See? Or, or, or. What? You're going to cry now? Come on. Cry, baby. Cry for me. Come on. Cry.

Look, first of all, I just hear Crybaby and I'm like, it's Crybaby. That's what I thought too. The bully in Crybaby. I don't remember the name of the bully. I'll give you guys the movie. It's a Christmas story. Oh. I don't remember the name. I don't remember. I don't remember.

scott marcus oh my god the names well you know what i realize now your impression was kind of spot on yeah you were channeling a clue basically yeah i was channeling yeah all right bully four goes okay i'll decide when he's had enough man the enemy deserves no mercy

Okay, and then also, okay, here's your first lesson, how to take a fall. Is this from like an army movie? Karate Kid or something? Is it from Fight Club? Is it from an army movie? Lamorne had it right. It's Karate Kid. Oh, Karate Kid. No mercy. Johnny Lawrence. Yep. Man can't breathe. He can't fight. Hannah, you want to take the last one? Okay, there's two left. Here's number five.

Y'all ready to bust some ass? Oh my goodness. The first lick I'd like to dedicate to your mother. Fucker. Oh, Jesus. What is this one? I don't know, but this is a very mean bully. Yeah. Played by Ben Affleck. Oh, it's from Days of Confused, right? Correct. Yes. Oh my God. It's so funny.

All right. Wrap it up, Lauren. He's really good in that movie. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that movie was a star-studded cast. I love that movie. Okay. With this money, I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture and this town and its dollar days and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls.

This is interesting. The writing is like a mammoth movie or something. You think just because you made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady? But you can't. Because you'll never be anything but a common frump whose father lived over a grocery store and whose mother took in washing. Huh. Definitely a

Yeah, this is definitely like a mean husband, obviously. But being called a frump? A frump. You can call me a frump. Yeah, what is this from? I don't know. What is this from? This is from Mildred Pierce.

It's not a husband. It's actually Mildred's daughter, Veda Pierce. Oh. Oh. So we're channeling the Joey King energy. I understand now. Yeah. Real men don't speak this way. May I say there's another great bully in Dazed and Confused? Sure. It's Parker Posey. And she's like, get on the floor, you freshman bitches. Yes. Yeah.

And then she was on New Girl, too. She was on New Girl, first season of season two. Yep. So, wow. This was a really fun rewatch. Very fun, you guys. Thank you. Can't wait for the next one. Every time I watch, it's so fun to get to re-live these episodes. What we're going to do is...

Let's do a little deep digging. I'm going to contact the writer of this episode. Oh, yeah. The Moonstruck. I'm going to find out about the Moonstruck situation. Sounds good. Have that two dollar bill ready. I have it in my purse. Do you have yours ready? I do not because I know I'm right. OK, I love it. Love you guys. Bye. Like and subscribe. Bye.
