They messin' around.

- Laugh meeting. - Laugh meeting. - Hey folks, we got a very, very, very special Laugh meeting today. You know him from Dance Flick. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Damon Wayans Jr. is here.

It's Coach O'Clock. That's right. Coach is with us today for a very special loft meeting. So how we like to do this, Damon, is we just answer some fan questions. We talk about some things. We just go through it. Share your, you know, real...

Real quick, these are like, you know, whatever's coming to your heart, whatever's coming to your mind, you just spill it. If you get emotional, if you cry. I think what we realized when we started this podcast is that 90% of our DMs is filled with people sending us very specific questions about New Girl that they want answered. And so we're like, yeah, we're going to recap the episodes and share the behind the scenes and really get into it. But there's some specific things that people really want addressed and

And so we have this whole episode called loft meeting where we kind of address those questions with people that know the answers like us and you. All right, should we dive in? Yeah, let's dive in. So I'll take this first one.

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll ever have Damon on the show, but I wanted to know what brought him back to New Girl first and second time. Did they entice you with anything cool for Coach? I think bringing him back as a teacher at Jess's school was a stroke of genius. It really allowed him to move beyond being one of the guy's friends to being his own person. And I like the dynamic between Coach and Jess. It reminds me of me and my brother.

The seasons with Coach are the best. Becca from Casper, Wyoming. So I was shooting Let's Be Cops with Jake. And during the shoot, I found out that Happy Endings was canceled.

So I was like, oh, I just found out Happy Endings. I had got the call. I was like with Jake at a bar and I was like, Happy Endings got canceled. He was like, come to New Girl. I was like, are you sure? I don't know. Would Liz want me back? He's like, he's like, let me find out. He calls her. She's like, yeah, I'd love to have him. He's like, yeah, come do it. That's how it happened. Yeah.

It was pretty cool. It was pretty seamless. So I'm thankful for that. It doesn't work like that for everybody else. It is pretty wild choice and so cool for Liz to do that if you think about it. Because you're like, it's in the pilot. It got people at a lot of different, you know, confused interpretations of what that was. Yeah.

Yeah. Right. The coach to win a situation. You know, when I explain it, they don't understand it because it's like so, you know, inside baseball. There we go. Exactly what it is. You try to like I wanted to write something one day just explaining the process and just have it out there because, you know, there are different stories that are always being told for people from people who don't actually understand how contracts work.

You know what I mean? You know, they don't like acting contracts. They really exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I've heard all kinds of stories. I heard Damon quit Happy Endings to come back to the show and they will kick off Lamorne. And then it's like I've heard the wildest, the weirdest things. And it's just it's just people who obviously don't know how our industry works. But yeah, but I am thankful that that Liz always kind of left that door open for me to come back and hang.

And yeah, I have so much fun. So much fun goofing off with you guys. Like my favorite stuff was when, you know, is in between the takes. Yeah.

you know, there and there too long and just being tired and just like goofing. Like that's my jam. I will say, I think I've talked to Lamorne about this before, the greatest thing about when you came and rejoined the cast for me, because that was the first show I ever did, biggest opportunity of my life. And of course, everybody whispers in your ears, like all sorts of weird industry stuff.

All the time. And there was like this real feeling like, you know, you could get fired for any reason at any time. Everybody's disposable, this whole thing. And I felt pretty good on the show, but it was like this weird thing. And I think we all kind of carried a kind of nervous energy about different things, but there was a nervous energy. But then when you rejoined the cast...

You carry this air of confidence where you would just truly be having fun and do things that were crazy, like drop your pants to make everybody laugh. And it was like, oh, for me, genuinely, I was like, I didn't know it was possible just to be like, I'm here. I'm very secure in this job. I just want to have the best time possible. And it shifted my whole experience of like what I was allowed to be.

and to not live in fear of the whole thing and really enjoy it because you just naturally came on and were just like, yeah, okay, I'll say those words. Then I'm also going to do all these things and we're going to have the best time. And it was true. It really changed the whole energy for me of the set. I loved when you did that. Yeah, it did. People ask me all the time about it. And I go, what you coming back on the show did for me was it gave me freedom and license. I was looking at how much fun you were having

doing the dumbest shit, like doing a cartwheel in the middle of a scene. You're like, what the fuck? It's just like, he was like, you gotta own this, you gotta own the space. And he was doing whatever he felt like doing. That made, that definitely helped me form my character because I started to play more and have, just have a bit more confidence and fun going,

You know, maybe Damon walking away with his ass out is not going to work. Maybe that won't work for network TV, but it made me laugh. You know what I mean? All right, let's move on. Okay. I need to know, was the scene with the guys in the car on the way to Prince's house improv? There's no way the whole exchange about being turned on by gas mileage was scripted.

it was a thursday that's all i remember a thursday yeah from casey so we talked about this when we did the recap the thursday part was definitely improvised for sure i think you guys were just trying to get out of it too and not stop talking about like the the fact sheet on ford that you've been given to to sell the car was that a separate was that a separate like i feel like there was separate sides handed to us like

I don't know. Was that, is that true? Yeah. They, they came and gave us an additional piece of stuff to talk about in the car. That's when we got kind of like, wait, what? Yeah. Yeah. And then that, that Thursday bit, I remember Max is always pushing you to do, it's like, he's pushing you to get in trouble. Yes. Yeah.

All the time. You remember we just did our Sexiest Men Alive thing. And every time I said something really messed up that can get me in trouble, Max would go, Jake would go, Lamor and stop. And Max would go, no, no, let him go. I would try and go, and then he put his hand on me. He got, no, no, no, let him finish.

So, yeah. So, Casey, to answer your question, a lot of the specifics about gas mileage and stuff like that was scripted. But some of the extra little moments when another person would ask another person a question was improvised, I would say. Just so we could kind of mess with the person.

Ready to laugh and stay informed? Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome. My name is Paola Pedrosa, a medium and the host of the Ghost Therapy Podcast, where it's not just about connecting with deceased loved ones. It's about learning through them and their new perspective. Join me on the Ghost Therapy Podcast. Whoa, my lights in my living room just flickered.

I'm a little nervous. I'm excited. I'm excited, nervous. You know, I'm a very spiritual person, so I'm like, I'm ready and open. That was amazing. I feel so grateful right now. I got to speak to my great-grandmother, Abuela, and she gave me a lot of really good advice that I'm going to have to really think about. Wow. Okay. That's crazy. Yes, that is accurate.

Listen to the ghost therapy podcast as part of the my culture podcast network available on the I heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. Dear beautiful Hannah Simone and Emmy winner. Sexiest man alive. Lamorne Morris. Definitely didn't say that. Did you guys write this? No, no. Zoe Kravitz wrote these. Tyra Banks wrote these. Um,

I'm writing to inform you that Google AI is causing quite a commotion amongst the New Girl fandom. Some Googled, why did Coach leave the loft or something similar? And Google's AI responded, following the pilot episode of New Girl, Coach left the apartment to move in with his girlfriend, Malia. In his place to help round out the cast was his cousin Winston, portrayed by Lamorne Morris, a basketball player coming home to the States after playing in Latvia. So my question is,

We're Coach and Winston cousins. I've watched New Girl so many times and I can't ever recall a mention of Coach and Winston being related. Is Google lying? Was this a plot at one point that later got dropped? Please help us. Thanks. Ashlyn. They sent a screen grab of that being written and it is explained as the reason. No. Right? No. Never cousins. We've been cousins. AI is racist. Yeah, that's exactly right.

No, guys, I got to push back on that one. I do for some reason remember, there is a moment, I forget who mentions it, that we're cousins. But I think maybe it left a script. It was in an original script and it left a script. But I do remember that. Are you thinking of like Jess and Robbie? They're cousins. No, no. I remember this in the very beginning. And again, I'm not sure how Google AI would know that. But I remember that.

I don't think we ever established it, but I do remember that being a thing. Wow. I do remember you moving to Santa Monica with your girlfriend, Malia. That's all true. That's true. Because then he comes back and he's all like broke up over Malia and won't stop talking about it for like three episodes. And everyone was like, who? Yeah. So, you know,

So I got to go back. I'm not going to lie to you. I do remember something like that, but I'm going to come back, Casey, or Ashlyn, with a different response for you on that one. I don't think so. I think Google's racist. I'm with Damon on this one. That's news to me, man. I don't know. Actually, you know what? While we're here, let's try it. Let's see. What is it? Why did it cost the... Hey, AI. You're going to go to the source? You can't ask the racist to answer. Hey, Siri. Hey.

Why did Coach leave the loft? Well, it just brings up a bunch of like Reddit stuff and fan theories. But I don't think so. I just genuinely don't think so. I think it would be mentioned.

Yeah, it doesn't mention it in this one. It just says that he, you know, it talks about the real reason, his commitments to happy endings. Yeah, the real reasons. Yeah, the real reasons. All right, we'll do an extra deep digging, but I don't think that that's a thing. Okay. Yep. All right. Okay, did Prince sing any other songs for you guys besides the one on the episode? No. I wish. Sorry, Whitney. No, he just did the one song.

many times no no at one time so so i was standing there by myself no one saw this no one's around to see this prince comes up to me and all of a sudden i just hear in my ear and i say oh prince and he proceeded to sing the whole song and performed for me um and was just like i'm a huge fan of yours lamor and i've always wanted to do that for

I remember us doing a bit while they're shooting his song on the show. We're in the crowd down and I remember, I think it was me and you or me and Jake or me and Matt. I don't remember. I just remember us going like, we're like listening to it but also going, what the fuck is this? What the fuck is this?

But it was so loud. The music was so loud. You couldn't do what I'm saying. Play the hits. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Play the hits.

There was actually in that original script, there was a whole thing about how Nick is the biggest fan of Prince and him then singing lines like Raspberry Parade and something about dogs going astray and how he literally actually knew none of the lyrics.

and has just been like bullshitting the lyrics his whole life and is the super fan that actually doesn't know any of the words to Prince and all of that got cut. But that's really funny. But no, he only sang that one song. Were there other duo names before they came up with Fire and Ice? And how was it dancing on stage with Prince? At I love Giggly. Giggly. Giggly? G-I-G-L-I? Anyway. I don't know. I don't remember if there were any other duo names. I don't think

There was, I do remember just being fire and ice and you know, um, so yeah, warm water, warm water, baby. There was a part that was cut where then you went like fire and you went like, and then the ice and it was like,

We got to work on our sounds. There was like a whole thing that was written about you working on the sounds to make it save fire and ice, but they stuck with warm water. Warm water. And how was it dancing on stage with Prince, Damon? Dancing on stage with Prince? I barely remember it. Me too. I don't remember that part.

I remember, you know, I sat down and I rewatched it yesterday with my daughter. And so she just was like, she enjoys looking at just TV. So if I'm putting on New Girl, she'll sit there and watch it. And she'll get really silent like she's not in the room because I don't know how to watch that much TV. And so when I'm rewatching it, she's just like behind me.

She's just silently watching it and every time I would come on screen she would go. Yeah, that's daddy It's not say that and then at the end when I'm explaining to her who Prince is she we all jump on stage by this time to the end of the episode She's invested and so we all jump on stage and she keeps going. I don't see you daddy She goes daddy. Why are you not on stage? And I'm looking around going like

Damn, like was I not? I remember running on the stage. Did they just not cover me? And then they widen out at one like this one shot where they widen out in Damon and myself were on the far side of the stage.

We're at the very end of the stage. There's no light on that side of the stage. Yes. I was like, oh, there we are, baby. I was half in, half out. Yeah. I was like, baby, look, that's us in the corner. Look at that. That's daddy. I really feel like we were doing a bit. Like, I feel like we were doing a bit all the way up until we got on the stage.

And I think that's just like a side effect of the bit is like our location. Right. And I remember some of those extras not wanting to give up their space. Yeah. They were like, nope. There were some things about that it was so crazy about the going up on stage where you realize, again, it's like very rare to have things that were just kind of like alive in the moment and it is what it is. Like they didn't light it properly. They didn't have that...

as wide as it was where people were going to be all over the stage there's no close-ups of anybody dancing it was just like this is one shot he's gonna sing go get up there and dance and it's gonna be kind of this big yeah we'll do like a one size and a little bit bigger and then that's what it is and then yeah i half of us you can't even really see is yeah there wasn't really a question yeah no they were just like get up there and dance

I think it was. Yeah, I think there were so many moving parts and so many people on the set and they were all night shoots. Right. This whole thing was night shoots. And when we during 2020, I don't remember, but we did like a reunion. We did like a Zoom reunion or something.

And I kept saying, I was like, didn't we shoot this episode at a mortuary or near a mortuary? And I feel like Jake just like destroyed me. He's like, you're crazy. Never happened. And I then was like, no, I'm pretty sure it was near a mortuary. And so yesterday I went and looked it up and I found the address of the house.

And the house that we shot Prince's house at was next to a mortuary, which is, I think, why I remember the turnoff sign to go to this house right in the heart of Altadena. It was on Altadena Drive. And so the house that we shot this Prince episode in

No longer exists. Wait, did it burn down? It burned? It's gone. I mean, it's right in the heart of Altadena. I can't imagine it's standing. I can't imagine how it would be. Text me that address. I'll text it to you right now. I looked it up on the fire map too and I was like, I think, I shouldn't say I know, I guess. I think that house is gone. But it was, I remember, it was on Altadena Drive, East Altadena Drive. I'll send it to you.

where that house was. But yeah, strange. It was such a strange thing. It's that we drove there for night shoots for a week. And that's the house that, you know, Prince approved would be his house for his house party. Sheesh.

Okay, thanks for bringing the news down. Yeah, no. What? Come on, Kardashians. You're going to make Carpool real awkward for yourself, David. We never liked that house. Oh, gosh.

Listen to the Ghost Therapy Podcast as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. Did Prince have any requests or ideas for the script of the episode itself? Or did he just want it, or did he just want to be on the show and would do whatever? From Nostalgia Chick. Uh...

Yeah, I actually so we talked about this a little bit in the recap, but he he definitely had his his ideas. I've heard stories about Prince that when he would go to a hotel aesthetically, he would bring in his own furniture from his home.

And redo certain hotel rooms. And he would, yes. And he would have like, he would have it all ready to go before he got to the hotel room. I feel like I heard that too. I don't know if it was true or not, but I heard that too, where it was like, he wanted the vibe to kind of like feel right for him. But I don't know if that's true.

So for this episode, for sure, I heard that he had some thoughts and some opinions and some ideas on set deck. And like you talked about, Zoe's clothes when he was doing the makeover, his stylist, I think from Canada, I want to say, from Toronto maybe, his stylist was either tailor-making clothes for Zoe or hand-selecting clothes for Zoe. I think they were channeling that Stevie Nicks vibe. Yeah.

To make her. So, yeah. And he had one request that he could do a scene alone with Hannah at the end. That was about it. To play ping pong. That's the thing though, right? That was a lot of people played ping pong with Prince, right? Like, doesn't Jimmy Fallon have like a famous story about that? I just know the basketball story, the Chappelle one. Yeah. What's that one? Oh, yeah.

You've never watched the Chappelle show? I have. I just don't remember this specific story. Hannah, get out. It's all turned. Guys, that's stupid. I'm sorry. Was that mad about I don't know this specific story? What's the story? Because it... You know what? This is your show, Hannah. I'm not gonna... It's the end.

friendship. You're entitled to watch or not watch Class of Telegenic. You can lead a horse to water. Oh my gosh. Okay, alright. You should watch it though. It's really funny. I'm sure I've seen it. I just don't remember it right. Dave Chappelle pretends to be Prince. He's like dressed up as Prince as Charlie Murphy retells the story of Prince um

inviting them over to play basketball. And he's really good at basketball. And cooks, though. Cooks Charlie Murphy and Eddie Murphy. And then afterwards, he feeds them pancakes. I wonder where the pancakes thing came from, because that's like a real thing. He supposedly makes really good pancakes. Or maybe really good pancakes. In 2003, they talked about it on the Chappelle Show. Then we talk about it on...

Prince mentions it in the episode. And he let it stay there, so I guess... That's a real thing. That's a real thing. Okay, folks. Another warm round of applause for Damon for being on the show. Woo!
