Lamorne Morris
Now let's break it down.
Gareth Reynolds
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy.
Lamorne Morris
Bacon, pickles, onions and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and the drinks.
Gareth Reynolds
Sound good? I participate in restaurants for a limited time.
Jake Johnson
Hey, Nora. Come on, dude, cool it.
Gareth Reynolds
Who are you talking to?
Jake Johnson
My dog is. Follows me around, then snores and makes so much noise that we got a whole house. Just go in any other room. She is a retired guide dog and I truly believe she thinks I'm the blind person. She's like, where are you going, pal? Where are you going? I'm like, I'm the only one who needs good audio right now. She's like, let me just come in here and bang my head against the wood floor for a while.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm probably gonna nap right near that microphone, Truly.
Jake Johnson
And I've been on zooms where it sounds like and I want to be like my little blue things lights up. I'm like not ripping ass. There's a dog outside of camera. I'm not making that.
Gareth Reynolds
Try to mute. Yeah, in between every statement, try to mute.
Jake Johnson
It's humiliating.
Gareth Reynolds
Real quick, there was someone who. There was a podcast that said that Dave farted on a dollop recording. We did. And they were like playing it back. They're like, listen closely. Dave is like, I didn't fart, by the way.
Jake Johnson
And let's just have already started. Rob. Let's just keep all this in. We'll just start weird on this Thursday. We'll just transition everybody. And we're back.
Gareth Reynolds
And we're back.
Rob Hollis
It's a Thursday.
Jake Johnson
It's a special one. We'll explain Rocket Money. But one of the funniest things is clips of people trying on television who have farted and people on YouTube trying to expose them. Yeah, there was a guy. It was a sports announcer. I feel like we've sent this to each other. Gareth. But it was like, they're all talking in a panel and you can hear the fart. There's been, like, different people. I'm thinking of, like, I can't remember who it was, but there's, like, really clear ones.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yeah.
Jake Johnson
Tony Romo or somebody.
Gareth Reynolds
There's a Romo fart. Absolutely. But there's also. You're like, I don't think, like, yeah, but they do. I know they do, but you have to really rip it for, like, for Jim Nance to not be like, whoa.
Jake Johnson
Yes.
Rob Hollis
Did you see them? The marathon runner?
Jake Johnson
No, she.
Gareth Reynolds
She.
Rob Hollis
Her pants.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, well, that happens.
Jake Johnson
I have seen that.
Gareth Reynolds
And she says, don't feel my butt.
Rob Hollis
I just.
Gareth Reynolds
Myself. Yeah, that happens, like, with marathon runners where they, like, they're so determined to finish that they just.
Jake Johnson
That I understand more. I did, when I was doing tag, Hannibal Burris in the middle of a scene, farted. And, you know, we are not only Mike for comedy. No, no, we were. He. Me. We were in a scene. I can't remember who else was in it. Middle of coverage. Middle of a take. Blue ass.
Rob Hollis
Wow.
Jake Johnson
And, you know, Obviously I'm a 10 year old when somebody farts, so I died laughing.
Gareth Reynolds
Y.
Jake Johnson
He had the nerve to say to me, come on, man, stay in it. We're in the middle of a take.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow.
Jake Johnson
I was like, no, you know what?
Gareth Reynolds
You don't get to tickle and say, keep it together.
Jake Johnson
I. You. I was like. And also the nerve of, like, being on camera. Sou part. But also ribbon ass. Then saying, be a grown up is a real power play.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah, that's.
Jake Johnson
That's the way making you num.
Gareth Reynolds
It's hard to make you seem childish when someone else cuts ass. Be like, you're a child about this.
Jake Johnson
Hey, could you please grow up? I farted.
Gareth Reynolds
Good Lord. Finish your line.
Jake Johnson
So we've got today. Well, this is an interesting one. These are, you know, Thursdays are experimental days. Gareth and Rob. Yep. We're figuring them out. We're having a little bit of fun on Thursdays. We're back into season two. We're having fun, and we're starting to figure out what we can do. We released the Biff one on a Thursday, and this is our second one.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, this one has to be put out because, you know, we didn't really choose. Yeah.
Rob Hollis
Forced.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. We didn't want to have to do this. To be quite honest with you. This is kind of the battle that chose us. Yeah. You know, I mean, we're. We're just kind of Reacting.
Jake Johnson
You want to set up a little bit, Gareth, of what's going on to people who have not. So all this stuff, you can find it on social media, the clips of this. For anybody who just listens. Who wants to see. Go to our.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, you have. It's very important to see the video of this.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. And also it's important to see the video of what they did. So, yes, the Morning after podcast. Look, I think it's on their Instagram, but it's also on ours. If not, we'll post it. We'll just steal it from them and post it. Who cares?
Gareth Reynolds
Well, it started out kind of just silly. I mean, you. You basically explained that you did a live the morning after.
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
And our show got a better reaction.
Jake Johnson
As a dear favor.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. I mean, you're a busy guy.
Jake Johnson
He called Damian Waynes Jr. And I begging. He said, yeah, the show is a total bust. The theater is really mad. Nobody's showing up.
Gareth Reynolds
Get some names attached.
Jake Johnson
Damon, please come. And Damon was like, lamorn, I don't want to go. And so Dame and I are like, well, we haven't seen each other. We respect each other. Let's just go. So. Well, I would say what it was going in.
Gareth Reynolds
I would say for you, that probably makes this so hard because, you know, it turns from favor quickly to. To battle.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. What I also don't understand about Lamorne is like, yeah, he's getting a lot of hype right now. The media's behind him. Well, we've all pitched in. In the business to hire PR people for him. He needs this.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
I mean, he. He's like that kid you're doing a favor for, and everyone's trying to pat his head, and then he flexes on you, and you're like.
Gareth Reynolds
It's like he had a sleepover that nobody wanted to come to. He begs you to come to it, and then you wake up and he's put your fingers in warm water all night and think it's like he wrote.
Jake Johnson
A dick on your forehead.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. And he wrote a dick. I like. Instead of drawing, I like writing a dick. So.
Jake Johnson
Pencil.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, with a pencil. So. So anyway, so he did that. You did that. We got a better reaction. Whatever. We're not egomaniacs. Whatever.
Jake Johnson
No, but it wasn't even close.
Gareth Reynolds
You. You threw it away. It matter.
Jake Johnson
Long story short, for anyone, I simply. They said late 30s. He said, Lamor's doing the show. The crowd was full. Everyone's excited. They're all excited.
Gareth Reynolds
So then they. At the morning after, and I think it's safe now to say, you know, Kyle's fully involved in this. At this point, I. For a minute, I thought he was getting dragged along, but.
Jake Johnson
Well, I actually think Kyle's a victim of this, But I can explain later.
Gareth Reynolds
I think we're about to maybe see a little evidence in that.
Jake Johnson
Well, I. Actually, I. I know that's the case.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay. All right, so we. So we now know Kyle's a victim, so.
Jake Johnson
Of Lamorn.
Gareth Reynolds
Of Lamorn, absolutely. Which we'll get a little more into. But anyway, so then Lamorn and Kyle put out this clip that is of the moment you talked about, and it's just very clearly edited.
Jake Johnson
I mean, idiots.
Gareth Reynolds
It's just. It's not even a good attempt.
Jake Johnson
No.
Gareth Reynolds
And it's obviously a deep fake. It's fake news. And they put that out there. They're trying to kind of poke the bear a little bit. We kind of let that go because.
Jake Johnson
I'm going to tell you. But I'll tell you why we kind of let it go. We're trying to do a podcast here where we take in callers and we give some of the best advice America has to offer. Guys like, you know, Dr. Phil, the real one, real hitters are emailing us and thanking us for the work we're doing. Dr. What's the guy's name who does all the rehab? Dr. Drew.
Gareth Reynolds
Dr. Drew.
Jake Johnson
Dr. Drew emailed us. So what we're actually doing is trying to help people. What Lamorne does on his podcast with Kyle is, I think, tries to get people just to look at him in pajama outfits.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
It seems to be the kind of different shows, but I think you're right.
Gareth Reynolds
Because I think we're trying to kind of have. We are trying to stay.
Jake Johnson
We're to help.
Gareth Reynolds
Exactly.
Jake Johnson
They're here to take hurt. To hurt.
Gareth Reynolds
And. And anyway, so it's important that people know that we are, you know, good, respectable guys. Anyway, they're trying to drag us down, so we kind of let it go. We've mention it, but we kind of let it go. Who cares? But then they really start going after it and they kind of. First of all, very disrespectful to me, pretending to not know my name.
Jake Johnson
I don't think they know your name.
Gareth Reynolds
I think they do.
Jake Johnson
I don't think that was a bit Gareth.
Gareth Reynolds
I think everybody knows.
Jake Johnson
Let's cut this out for a second, Garrett. They don't know your name.
Gareth Reynolds
No, they do. So they know me.
Jake Johnson
They do. They do.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, even in the. They put out a clip of Puff.
Jake Johnson
Talking about you that was unthinkably disrespectful. Very clearly. So here's the other thing. And I know this is a fact because Lamorne has texted me, off the record. Oh, that you can do this stuff. And he laughed about it. There's some app called Voice Generator, and he's like, dude, it's hilarious. We can get anyone to say anything. So he does Puff Daddy as if I partied with him.
Rob Hollis
Right.
Jake Johnson
Rob.
Gareth Reynolds
Rob sort of saw. We were kind of getting kicked around. We were trying to rise above it.
Jake Johnson
We were trying to ignore it, too.
Gareth Reynolds
And Rob sort of says, you know, optically, we're kind of getting dragged through the here. And we know on the Inside Hollywood Secret that you have some stuff, Jake, that's from your personal life because you hike with Lamorne. We've heard about it. Right. We know there's some, you know, some stuff that probably shouldn't be out there.
Jake Johnson
Well, let me say this. I. I hate to do this.
Gareth Reynolds
I know.
Jake Johnson
You do this. I. I love Lamorne. Yes. I want to sue him and go on People's court with him, but he knows this. I love the guy. And this is. It's breaking my heart that it's coming to this. He's. He's in my inner circle. I love the guy.
Gareth Reynolds
But you did a show. I mean, but I just.
Jake Johnson
He knows I have this footage, and I don't want to release it. I don't, like, release, you know, footage of when I go to his house. I go in his bathroom, and he's got a chair facing the toilet. That stuff embarrasses me.
Gareth Reynolds
I saw that.
Jake Johnson
It embarrasses me that he lives this way.
Gareth Reynolds
That's just important.
Jake Johnson
But it's important.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
And so I would like to release this video.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
And this was taken when he and I took a hike together. And this was just. I believe us talking. Isn't that right?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. Yeah. Good. That's. That's what it is.
Gareth Reynolds
So let's watch it. All right.
Jake Johnson
Come on.
Gareth Reynolds
Huh?
Jake Johnson
I just turned this on because you fake it around the camera. You're trying to take too many breaks. Okay. Come on.
Rob Hollis
You're not filming, right? I don't need those fans. They are trash fans. I'm moving up. It's not even that I don't appreciate them. It's worse. I want them to stop following me and listening to my show. The mediocre morning after with that Keith guy. See, New Girl was my caterpillar phase. I was a weird Gross worm or whatever. Now I'm a butterfly. I don't need New girl people from the cocoon days bothering me. I'm flying now. I have wings lead me to the skies.
Gareth Reynolds
It's so. It's so blatant.
Jake Johnson
Very good job.
Gareth Reynolds
What are you talking about? You mean. I'm putting it. Yeah. Well, on the captions. Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Good job with the captions.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, the captions. You did great. Everything else is.
Jake Johnson
You're DPing that quick, quick side thing. And then we will get back. But. And obviously, this could stay in. But whenever we all get afraid, and this has nothing to do with the video we just saw. This is just a different thought I'm having. Well, we all get scared of AI taking over the world. We got some time.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. They're gonna take over everything.
Gareth Reynolds
That's. That's a natural.
Jake Johnson
We all get scared. It's a total non segurator. It's got nothing to do, that video. But, yeah, I do believe we got some time.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. That's a non sequitur, though. That's. That's a different intro because what we saw there is damning.
Jake Johnson
And.
Gareth Reynolds
And to be clear, when he's talking about fans, is he talking about the. The fans of New Girl?
Jake Johnson
So, Lamorne. All right, now, Lamorn hates New Girl fans. He said it a bunch. We all know it. It's the. It's the biggest kept, you know, secret in Hollywood. We all love the fans because without them, what are we doing? We're just walking around a sound stage doing nothing. Right.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
It's Wayne's World. But because of them, the show mattered.
Gareth Reynolds
And you love the fans. I mean, you say that all the time.
Jake Johnson
I do. I say it all the time. Everything I do. Max, Zoe, Hannah and I, we'll go out there and just do anything. Brian, we'll do anything for the fans. Lamor is always passing.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Lamorn always uses hand sanitizer anytime he even sees a New Girl fan. And I'm like, you didn't even touch.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
And he goes, they looked at me. And I'm like, that's dis.
Gareth Reynolds
It's just. It's painful to have to do this.
Jake Johnson
I, I, I. Again, I love you. I'm sorry about this. But then this other part that I really want to get into.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Is about the abuse that he has done. Well, first of all, maybe we could show the clip that he sent me. Yeah. Kyle.
Rob Hollis
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Rob Hollis
Also, did you see. Did you see Kyle's video about trying to defend his mustache?
Jake Johnson
No. Is this real? Yeah, yeah, hold. But we haven't talked about what happened there with the mustache.
Gareth Reynolds
Maybe we do that last. So we sort of, you know, I.
Rob Hollis
Think do set up the Kevin defending.
Jake Johnson
The mustache thing before we leak the audio.
Gareth Reynolds
Kyle.
Rob Hollis
Kyle, whatever.
Jake Johnson
But by the way, perfect. Leave that in too. Rob, did you hear that?
Gareth Reynolds
Kyle?
Jake Johnson
That's not being edited out. That was. That was real leaked audio.
Gareth Reynolds
It was legit. Rob, we literally just said your name and Rob got it way wrong.
Jake Johnson
I mean, the guy who found all this footage just called Kevin my man.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Clearly knows. Well, Lamore called her Keith in that video. So it's very confusing.
Jake Johnson
Call him Keith in all these videos.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, they called him Keith.
Jake Johnson
Hey, Rob, that might be a problem. Does he call him Keith?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Leaked audios.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, no, no, just in that one. But that I think shows Lamorne's inability to focus on who he's working with. It shows how self centered he is. I mean, it shows why he has a chair in the.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, well, he has that because he's a creep. He's disgusting. He's a pervert.
Gareth Reynolds
He's a crap creep. So. So the next thing we'll watch is. Is we'll watch.
Jake Johnson
Lamorne sent me this. I just want people to know the kind of deep fake stuff Lamorn's doing. He sent me out of the blue of footage of Joe, quote unquote, Joe Biden. Right. Talking to me directly. This is just the kind of trash I get as a text. It's a Monday morning.
Gareth Reynolds
Look, look.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, I know. Look, look, look. We're here to help you. Come on, man. I like the blacks and I like. We're here to help favorite radio station, Jake Johnson. Let me sniff his ear while I fingered him.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay? It's just.
Jake Johnson
That's like, hold on, we gotta play that one.
Gareth Reynolds
That's rotten.
Jake Johnson
So he's. So Lamorne's claiming this is what Joe Biden, the ex president of the United States of America said during an interview.
Rob Hollis
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Man, look, look, look, look.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, you know, look, look, look. We're here to help, man. Come on, man. I like the blacks and I like. We're here to help favorite radio station, Jake Johnson. Let me sniff his ear while I figured out. So I just need people to know the kind of trash that Lamorne does. This is who the guy is.
Gareth Reynolds
Favorite radio station. Now look, we're laughing only because of how absurd it is to call our podcast the radio station.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, so now, by the way, I call it a radio show.
Gareth Reynolds
You have.
Jake Johnson
So now this other part of this that we're getting into is there's all this talk about Kyle's mustache. It's all over the Internet. It's one of the biggest stories going around. We've known the industry knows that Kyle's mustache is holding back their show.
Gareth Reynolds
Hollywood's a small town.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. And his mustache looks goofy. It doesn't look right.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
It doesn't feel right on his face. It's an embarrassment to the show. And has it hurt their numbers? Well, we know as a fact, because they're at Head gum, it really hurts their sales. So they have a really hard time selling ads a lot.
Gareth Reynolds
That's why they didn't get Kleenex. Kleenex doesn't want to work with someone who can get a snotty like.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, it's also. It's just. It's a bad mother. It's just. It's not great. So Lamorne has been trying to be cool about Kyle keeping that stash and publicly acts like he doesn't care, but I guess. Rob, you found something. I did. I don't.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't really want to share this, but, see, this is at head. The cameras are always rolling, and that's what people need to remember.
Jake Johnson
Was it Headgum? So this is leaked audio?
Rob Hollis
It is. Are you listening to me, Kyle? You want to know why no one listens to our stupid podcast? Want to know why? I'll tell you. They come for me. They come for me. I'm Lamorne Morris. I'm the king. I own these people. I hate my fans, but they love me. People respect me. People fear me. I'm taller than Kevin Hart. They come for me. But why did they leave? Why do we get such bad numbers and can't even sell ads for rocket money? Because of your mustache. You look like a creep. You look like a weirdo. You shave it, or you're done on my podcast. You understand me, you little weirdo?
Gareth Reynolds
You're done.
Rob Hollis
Shave or you're fired.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, and then there's no and then the reveal is that Kyle has no.
Jake Johnson
Mus at the end. So Lamorne bullied Kyle, and Kyle literally shaved because of Lamorne.
Gareth Reynolds
Yes, that's what it looks like. Yeah. I mean, we don't want to get involved in this. I mean, it's very clearly Lamortin Lamorn has one of those voices that's very distinct, and you could tell that that's his voice.
Jake Johnson
I agree.
Gareth Reynolds
That's very clearly his voice.
Jake Johnson
So look, it's a match. Yeah. Here's what we're doing today, guys. We're just saying we understand what's been happening. We don't want to be involved in this kind of that we feel like this trash is beneath us.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
But what we're going to do today is to honor Lamorne.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. As a sort of olive branch.
Jake Johnson
Look, we're at a point like we could keep kicking down, but let's start pulling up, Right?
Gareth Reynolds
That's exactly right.
Jake Johnson
What we're going to do is we're going to re release two of his calls, which, you know, they're honestly two of my favorite calls, so.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Because they're unhinged.
Jake Johnson
Because they're unhinged. Because they're funny. The first one is going to be the one of our. It was episode four. It was when Lamorne, when the woman was house sitting a cat. But you know what? Let's just let anybody who hasn't heard people who are new to the pod experience it for the first time.
Rob Hollis
Sure.
Jake Johnson
I have heard some people who are coming in and you know, even Morgan, they're going back and learning the cat, the catalog, but they haven't listened to anything. So we're going to start highlighting some every once in a while.
Gareth Reynolds
Y.
Jake Johnson
And this is highlighting that as well.
Gareth Reynolds
As the Wedding Speech, which is a classic. Both classics. I mean, we loved, we love and loved having Lamorne on the show. That's what makes this so hard. Before we throw to that Jake, should we see Kyle's sort of attempt at a cover up that Rob was referring to?
Jake Johnson
Oh, right. Yes.
Gareth Reynolds
Just to kind of put a final point on this and then we'll go to the Lamorn calls and again, we encourage everyone to go listen to the Lamorning after, you know it go get it. I mean, Lamorne said those things and, you know, he said them, but that doesn't mean.
Jake Johnson
Oh, he looks so much worse without a mustache.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, Lamorn made a bad call. So let's. This is from Kyle here on Mustache Gate as it's being. So just to set the record straight here, I had shaved prior to any videos being released by the We're Here to Help podcast. Why'd you say everyone knows I have.
Rob Hollis
The most majestic mustache in the game?
Gareth Reynolds
Those guys even said so in their. In their video. I've received countless DMS that guys and girls saying that my mustache.
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
So in no way, shape or form did I see also wearing transitions of their videos.
Rob Hollis
This was done prior. So just a weird coincidence.
Jake Johnson
Okay, hold on. I'm not making a joke here. He seemed scared and he seems like.
Gareth Reynolds
Someone is off camera, making him.
Jake Johnson
You know what that is? That's Lamorne's trailer.
Gareth Reynolds
Is that right?
Jake Johnson
Look at the back. That is a trailer from being on set.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Lamorne is currently shooting something. I guarantee you he is in Lamorne's trailer. And it's like that's sort of a.
Gareth Reynolds
Hostage video he's brought there to for a forced confession.
Jake Johnson
So first of all, Kyle, we love you. We're here for you.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Reach out.
Gareth Reynolds
Call us. I mean, this is what we do. Call us with this problem and let's.
Jake Johnson
If you want to call in, please call in. Please call in the show. We can get you away from the Warren. Use a fake name.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, yeah. Because this Keith works.
Jake Johnson
Perfect. The problem is what are you going to change Lamorn to Malone? Keith and Malone.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Pretty good. No one will know.
Gareth Reynolds
No.
Jake Johnson
So.
Gareth Reynolds
And then it's the Malorning after.
Jake Johnson
We. We worry about you, bud. I'm sorry you got bullied into shaving that mustache. Nobody believes your fake hostage video. We love you. We're here for you.
Gareth Reynolds
We're here to help.
Jake Johnson
And. Yeah. And Rob, thanks for finding those videos.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Rob Hollis
And.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, thank you. And also, you know, that's tough. I'm sure that was tough to watch.
Rob Hollis
Yeah. But.
Jake Johnson
And maybe to take us out before we go to the episodes. And then we're just gonna have these two. We hope you enjoy them. Could you possibly play the Joe Biden one more time?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, I think it's worth hearing again, man. Look, look, look, look.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, you know, look, look, look. We're here to help, man. Come on, man. I like the Blacks and I like. We're Here to Help. Favorite radio station, Jake Johnson. Let me sniff his ear while I fingered him, everybody.

Nicole
Hi, can you hear me?
Jake Johnson
Yeah, we got you perfectly. Welcome to the podcast.
Nicole
Thank you so much for having me on. It's an honor and a privilege.
Jake Johnson
Well, it's an honor to have you. Can we get your name, please?
Nicole
Can I give a fake name?
Jake Johnson
You can give whatever you want.
Gareth Reynolds
Sure.
Nicole
Okay. My name is Emma.
Jake Johnson
Emma, you're on with Gareth Reynolds, Jake Johnson, and our special guest, a dear friend, Chicago native Lamorne Morris. Welcome to the podcast, Lamorne.
Rob Hollis
Oh, thank you for having me.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my gosh, thank you.
Nicole
Hi, Lamorne.
Rob Hollis
Hey, Emma. Emma, real quick, what's your real name?
Nicole
That's a great question. I would love to tell you, but I'm not going to.
Jake Johnson
Good. I'm with you, Emma. Don't be bullied by Lamorne.
Nicole
It's going to be hard, but I'll try.
Jake Johnson
Emma, we brought Lamorne on today because we got your email. We think he's an expert on this subject. So, Emma, please go ahead and would you tell us a little bit about why you're calling in today?
Nicole
Well, I'm calling because I had this super embarrassing story happen to me and it was so humiliating that I couldn't tell anybody at all. And when I saw you post on Instagram about sharing embarrassing stories, I was like, okay. Perfect opportunity to admit a story that I would never have shared otherwise. So that's what I'm calling about.
Jake Johnson
It's a good start. It's a good start.
Gareth Reynolds
We love this. Yeah.
Nicole
So just a few months ago, I had some friends from college who asked me to pet sit for them for a week. And this was like the most. The most exciting thing ever because I live with roommates and there's no alone time and I'm an introvert, and so it's just always busy. And so I jumped at this opportunity to just be alone for a whole week. And so when I get there, I am so excited. I get to just be a human for an entire Week. And of course, that consists of just near constant masturbation, because there is absolutely no place to do that in private in, like, the way that I would normally want to. So as this week goes on, I am just so excited because I can even do it in the living room, like, in public.
Lamorne Morris
It's.
Nicole
It's just the most exhilarating thing. The whole week long, I am just having the time of my life. And then the week comes to a close. About an hour before I'm supposed to leave, I've just finished my final session, and I look up and realize that staring directly at me is a pet camera.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my God.
Nicole
And I immediately go into the biggest panic attack of my entire life and totally blacked out and threw the camera out the window because, you know, what else are you going to do in that moment? You know, you can't throw yourself out the window.
Jake Johnson
It's all recorded. So, yeah, this is.
Gareth Reynolds
I'm understanding the fake name a little bit now. I think I kind of.
Nicole
Yeah, right.
Gareth Reynolds
Name part.
Jake Johnson
So, Lamar, really quickly, you know, now for sure why we brought you on for this one. Correct. I don't know anybody who masturbates at a level that my man Lamorn Morris does.
Rob Hollis
I go to work.
Jake Johnson
Oh, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Is.
Nicole
You're the same way.
Rob Hollis
Yeah, but when I do it, I always make sure I look out for that little red dot in the sky. You know what I mean?
Jake Johnson
You've been talking about that red dot since the 80s, Lamore.
Rob Hollis
I know.
Gareth Reynolds
Sounded crazy now.
Rob Hollis
Yeah, yeah.
Nicole
How can you tell, though, if it's, like, wireless?
Gareth Reynolds
There's no red dot.
Rob Hollis
There's no red dot. Listen, if you didn't see a red dot, I got news for you. They may not have been recording.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, I bet they were. So. Okay, first of all, I'm a. So the question is, basically, and I'm asking, not telling, you spent a week house sitting, some pets. You masturbated all week. You're afraid that they saw. Correct.
Nicole
Correct. And I have not spoken to them since. I am too humiliated, and I have no idea how to approach this.
Jake Johnson
Are they close friends of yours?
Nicole
They are, but they are out of state, so I don't actually have to see them that often.
Gareth Reynolds
How long ago was this?
Nicole
Just a few months ago.
Jake Johnson
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
Just.
Rob Hollis
That's. I got news for you. They saw it.
Jake Johnson
I mean, I think. For sure.
Nicole
Oh, man.
Jake Johnson
And I also think everybody in your extended group of friends has heard about it.
Gareth Reynolds
I like that you just see this as a real masturbation holiday. That's very Relatable. Anyone who I've ever pet, sat for stayed in their house. Absolutely. Like when I had roommates, it was like when I lived with my girlfriend at the time and she would leave town, it was just. I really understand the let's let it rip attitude and I fully support it. So I don't want you to think that we're like, you know, what you did is, look, I've been there. I think that's great. I support it. Unfortunately, yeah, technology has caught up with us. House sitting masturbators and. All.
Jake Johnson
Right, look, this is shameful and embarrassing, but I also, if I'm alone in a hotel room, the first thing, you got to let it rip.
Gareth Reynolds
The way they call the body lotion, like, it's like body lotion hotel. Really? This is masturbation.
Jake Johnson
Can I interrupt for a second? Because Lamorn is making faces as if he doesn't let it rip.
Gareth Reynolds
He's shaming us.
Lamorne Morris
Yeah, well, that's a lie.
Nicole
Come on.
Rob Hollis
No, no, no, it's not. It's not that. I listen as a single man. Hello. These hands are. Don't get much use because I can tell you others. Do you get what I'm trying to say?
Jake Johnson
Nobody gets what you're saying. We're talking about it.
Rob Hollis
What I'm saying. Yeah, what I'm trying to say is I. I get. You know what I'm saying?
Jake Johnson
Gareth and I have all admitted that we let it rip. And you said something about these hands get used. Are you talking about on yourself?
Rob Hollis
No, no, they don't get used. They're unused. I date around sometimes and I gotta say, if I'm home alone, I like to take that opportunity to maybe spend an evening alone with a lovely young lady that I am dating.
Jake Johnson
Okay, how about if there's no lady.
Rob Hollis
There, then I'm jerking it?
Gareth Reynolds
Okay, there we go. That's what we need. You.
Rob Hollis
I jerk it from that back. I jerk it from that side. I like to get a mirror, you know what I'm saying? Put that mirror on the floor. I like to get creative.
Jake Johnson
Okay, slow down.
Gareth Reynolds
You've overcorrected. You've overcorrected.
Rob Hollis
I like to take all the security cameras in the house and put them in a circle, you know what I'm saying? Just so I can really make sure.
Jake Johnson
The idea, the idea of you setting up with mirrors is incredible.
Gareth Reynolds
It's like the end to Enter the Dragon, but with masturbating.
Nicole
You're laughing. I'm out here taking notes though, so.
Jake Johnson
Thank you for that. So, Emma, So here's where we're at. So you let that, you let that week go. It's a tough situation. It is very embarrassing. When you said the way that I want, what does that actually mean? Like when you said.
Nicole
What do you mean?
Jake Johnson
You said you had the living room to yourself. I want to know how embarrassing this gets before we start figuring out if there's a move. I mean, are you just like quietly masturbating under a blanket on a couch or how are you Lamorne Morris in it? Do you have mirrors set up? Are you getting weird? Where are we at here?
Rob Hollis
That's right.
Nicole
Oh, man. We're talking like exhibitionist, full volume, problematic types of videos, just everything that you could possibly imagine.
Rob Hollis
A past video.
Jake Johnson
Can you give us a feel of what's problematic?
Rob Hollis
Yeah. What's your search history looking like?
Nicole
Oh, just, you know, power dynamic kind of things.
Jake Johnson
Emma, I'm with you on power dynamic. So I knew you would be fake. The question comes when you finished this week. Right. And you. So you. I'm going to just try to put myself in your situation here. You're house sitting, you're fired up. What a great week. You masturbate like crazy. You had yourself what, you know, like a little staycation, if you will. Then you see the camera and you know, if this is serious, which is what we're taking it as, that's a fucking living nightmare. If I. If I had friends who saw me masturbate for a week, I would be so deeply embarrassed and I would have you guys play this as real. Play. This is real.
Gareth Reynolds
It really is the worst.
Jake Johnson
That's a deep shit.
Nicole
I am telling you. I have never been closer to jumping out of a way. I really like the panic. Just like you have to just not be here anymore.
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Nicole
So this is the worst thing that could have happened.
Jake Johnson
So when it ended and that you. They come back and get the keys, there's no turnover, you didn't have to see them?
Nicole
Nope, nope. I left it under a trash can and that was it. I just never spoke to them again and haven't heard anything either.
Jake Johnson
So do you have a mutual friend who you trust like a buddy? Because I think what we need to get to here in terms of your extended group and just a life of living with a certain level of embarrassment and shame. I think we gotta know if they saw it because there is a reality of they have a pet cam, but they don't watch it. Right. Like, I had a buddy of mine is a house sitter and he was house sitting for another friend. And you could see in the video what that person's doing. And my friend said, like, you know. You know, because a light would go on in movement. Okay, so we gotta just figure out, like, some people have these, like, a ring camera, and they're not even set up anymore. So do you have a trusted third friend, Lamorne Morris, if you will, that you could go to. To kind of, you know, bridge the situation? Do you have anybody near them that you trust?
Nicole
Possibly, but would I have to tell them the story?
Jake Johnson
What you could do in this situation is you could ask them if they ever said anything about the house sitting. You could say, like, you really enjoyed it, blah, blah, blah. Go ahead, Lamar.
Rob Hollis
Or you could say you lost something. You could say. Is there any way you could check the cameras? Unless I. I can't seem to find my credit card.
Gareth Reynolds
I know it.
Jake Johnson
You can't do that. Because if they didn't watch the videos.
Rob Hollis
No, no, no, no, no, no. Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake. I got news for you. These cameras, they record sometimes 60 days. That's it.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, yes. Sometimes less.
Rob Hollis
Sometimes less, sometimes less. They can't have.
Gareth Reynolds
For. It would be. It would be interesting if you were like, I left my rings. And they were like, did you check your vagina? Because we checked the tape, and it feels like that's where most of your fingers were.
Jake Johnson
It would also be a nightmare if you. If you said, hey, will you check the tapes? And they go, we haven't watched them. And then they sit and watch and go, yeah, she asked us to watch her masturbate for.
Gareth Reynolds
So we don't know where your wallet is, but we know where it isn't.
Nicole
That feels like its own exhibitionist kind of a thing. I don't know if I can do that.
Jake Johnson
Gareth, what you got?
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I think that first of all, do you know what kind of camera it was? Have you done any research into kind of the like. Okay, so what kind of camera was it? And what do you know as far as the time that it holds onto a recording and how you know if it's recording?
Nicole
Okay, it's been months ago, so let me tell you. I did block out a lot of this for trauma reasons, but sure, I do remember I Googled the type of camera that it was, and I was excited that it was not plugged in, but then I found out it was a wireless camera and had a second panic attack.
Jake Johnson
Emma, do you remember the name of the brand?
Nicole
Oh, I think it was called Pet Cam, but it was something very similar to that name, like A play on word.
Jake Johnson
Okay, Okay, I got.
Rob Hollis
Hey, hey, listen to me.
Nicole
It looks like a little apple charger.
Gareth Reynolds
Like a little box.
Jake Johnson
So, Lamorne, you're kind of going, it wasn't plugged in. You're kind of going with, but plugged in doesn't necessarily matter.
Gareth Reynolds
No.
Rob Hollis
Unless it had a battery. If it wasn't plugged into a wall, there's no power source.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, that's true.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, it means at some point it probably stopped recording if it was. But I'm just curious. Yeah, I could very easily be on battery when they left.
Jake Johnson
I'm going to kind of go towards the advice mode here for this call. And Emma, as we've said before, the advice is not necessarily good, but we're trying to be on your side. We're trying to help figure it out. And you know, the truth is, getting caught potentially masturbating for a week straight is a humiliating life experience. But they have not brought. So I personally, if I were you, I wouldn't do the third party thing. I was saying I would bury this in the deep graveyard of secrets and move forward. I would never bring it up. I would just keep this as one of those life shameful moments. And hopefully one day in years you're drinking with them or you're at an event and you could hint at it and hopefully either you get the truth or just bury this one and move on.
Nicole
You know, that was. That was going to be my plan until your podcast, Lamour and Gareth, you.
Jake Johnson
Guys got any thoughts on what you would do if you were Emma?
Rob Hollis
You know, I would look them square in the eye and I would use keywords to see if they flinched.
Jake Johnson
Give me an example. Pretend them that you're at a wedding. Yeah, you house that for me. You're Lamorne, I'm Jake. You masturbated for a week straight. You saw there's a camera. We see each other in four months out of a wedding of a friend. What's up, Lamore?
Rob Hollis
Back of my mind knowing that I shot all over your sheets. Okay, cool. So, Jay Johnson, what's going on, man?
Jake Johnson
Not much, my man. How about you, bud?
Rob Hollis
Man, me and my girl, we got. We got into it yesterday. You know, it's crazy. It was a very interesting power dynamic that we had.
Jake Johnson
Okay, that's cool, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Cool.
Jake Johnson
Did you. Did you get any of that shrimp cocktail? That was good. I had like two cups of it.
Rob Hollis
Oh, man. You know, one thing that I do love is shrimp cocktail when it's. When I'm eating it.
Jake Johnson
Are you okay?
Rob Hollis
I'm good, man. I'm good. Say, Jake, real quick question, but while I got you here, because it's rare that we see each other, has there ever. Do you ever get chance to be alone? You know what I'm saying? When the old ball.
Jake Johnson
I'm gonna take off. Lamorne, you're acting really weird, and I don't apprec. Appreciate this vibe at a wedding of a close friend of ours.
Rob Hollis
My man. That's awesome.
Jake Johnson
Also, I do jerk off at my house, man, and I don't find that appropriate. No, no.
Nicole
That was a great demonstration. I so appreciate the whole plate. Thank you, guys.
Jake Johnson
Garfield. You got it. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, first of all, what a great power dynamic. I'm a little turned up, so I get it.
Nicole
You and me both.
Gareth Reynolds
Here's what I'll say. I think Jake. I think Jake's advice is right. I think Lamorn, you know, if you want. If you want to know, then something like that is the way to go. But I think Jake's right. In order to know, you gotta inform them more. And I just think that's probably right. And I'm just gonna tell you, my gut. My gut is that they didn't see it. I don't think they saw it. The only thing that bothers me is that you haven't spoken to them in so long. So it might be worth floating out a text for some reason just to not even find out. Just to kind of like be clear. We're moving forward. Maybe you saw me diddling for a week, maybe you didn't, but either way, I have now realized that we are moving past. We live in a different world. We live in a post. Me doing this world. And. And let's just move forward.
Jake Johnson
Hey, Gareth, could that text be about the pets?
Gareth Reynolds
I don't. I think if it was like a week ago. I think if it was a week ago, yes. But I think that it's been months. I feel like it should be something else. Otherwise, I feel like you're kind of still living in it a little bit.
Jake Johnson
Lamar, go ahead. You're pointing a finger, Lamorn. Go ahead.
Rob Hollis
Yeah, but I also. I also want. I want you to be really, really careful here, because we are walking a very, very dangerous line. Okay. We don't want to. We don't want to kink shame anybody, because everybody does it. Everybody does it. It's almost like you went to take a. And realized you left the door open and there was a camera pointing. You know, it's just natural. What you're doing is.
Nicole
Yeah. Great analogy.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, it's natural when you're talking like this. Why has your voice changed?
Rob Hollis
Because honestly, I'm a scientist and professor of love logic and also labius. So I'm here.
Jake Johnson
But here's what's different. No, this is we all masturbate. We don't all masturbate in other people's homes while their pets. I do.
Rob Hollis
I have just admitted to it. Jake.
Jake Johnson
No, I'm talking hotels.
Gareth Reynolds
I've house sat and whacked it in there with the cat sitting next to me. What are you going to do?
Jake Johnson
Yeah, gross. I've got a question, Emma. In terms of the email reach out, did you bond with any of their pets?
Nicole
Absolutely.
Jake Johnson
What kind of pets do they have?
Nicole
I know it's going to be ironic, but a cat.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so you connected with the cab a little bit?
Nicole
Oh, very much so, yeah.
Jake Johnson
I would personally go a little bit different than Gareth and something and I would write something like, you know, hey, guys, just thinking it. What's the cat's name?
Gareth Reynolds
I'm hoping you're changing the cat's name too. I don't, I don't. We don't want to.
Nicole
I did not, I did not.
Rob Hollis
Gertrude. It's Gertrude.
Nicole
That's the real name.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so could you possibly write something of. And is this weird to say something like, hey, hope you guys are good, had a funny memory of what a great cat. And if they do not write back, that means you are an enormous character in their discussion of the girl who masturbated in front of non stop. And you're a huge character. If they write back like, aww, you're the best, then they didn't watch it is my guess. Okay, guys, what do people think?
Gareth Reynolds
Well, here's why this is a tough one.
Jake Johnson
This is a hard one.
Gareth Reynolds
Let's say, let's say you hit their car in the driveway and you're wondering for a while, do they know I hit their car? I don't think being like, how's the car driving? I think get away from this area of thinking as much as possible because let's say they did. Let's say they did. Then you're going like, hey, let's circle back on when I, you know, played with myself all week in your house. I think you go with something more like, I don't know, I don't know the specifics of the relationship, but something if you can think of some other reason, it's just saying, hey, we no longer we, we, we don't do this anymore. And the way you can find out maybe is if they ever ask you to do it again. If they ever ask you to do it again, you're in the clear. Or.
Jake Johnson
Or they're perverts. Yeah. Or they're pervert.
Gareth Reynolds
They like that power dynamic because they.
Jake Johnson
Might say, hey, do you want. We. We're going to take our cat with us this time. We're going to set up some more pet pet camps. Do you mind house sitting for just the night?
Gareth Reynolds
Can we watch you house sit tonight?
Jake Johnson
So, Emma, I got a question for you.
Nicole
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
What do you kind of want to do here? Because, you know, what we've kind of found is people who call in have their instinct and how they want to handle it. What's your gut telling you to do?
Nicole
My gut was telling me to do the same thing that you suggested, Jake. I was just going to bury this and pretend like it never happened. Like, really push it back in my memory. I did tell one of my friends and I said, listen, I'm going to tell you a story and then we're never going to talk about it again.
Jake Johnson
Okay.
Nicole
So that was sort of how I preface the story to anybody. So honestly, I was going to do that. That's sort of what I'm feeling is right. But I do like the idea to send a text, maybe unrelated.
Jake Johnson
Now, I've got a question. Is this out of character for you and your friend group?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
Like, I'll be honest. If Lamorne stayed at my house and he masturbated every day, truthfully, all bits aside, that would be out of character and it would warrant a talk. Now, if he masturbated in the shower or, you know, outside of public. But if I can't.
Rob Hollis
Location.
Jake Johnson
But if I looked at a video, I was like, watching my dogs in the living room and he's watching porn with his pants, I would go, hey, Lamorne, what's up, my man? Like, but there are other friends. Maybe Gareth is one of them that I would be less surprised by.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank you. I live in rarefied error.
Jake Johnson
If they. If the Garf man was standing on my dining room table with no bottoms on, I would go like, hey, man, that's right. Don't break anything, my friend.
Gareth Reynolds
So stop so much.
Jake Johnson
Stop dancing while you do it. Just finish.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Why do you lose your balance when you end?
Jake Johnson
And why do you. Why do you giggle so much?
Gareth Reynolds
What's so funny about that? It's been going on for a long time.
Jake Johnson
In your group of friends. If the story circulated that this happened, would everybody kind of laugh or Would it be shocking?
Nicole
Shocking? I am the professional put together one out of the group. I'm the one that the answers. I'm the one that is probably looked at as like a mom figure. So this is very out of character.
Rob Hollis
What do you do for a living?
Nicole
I would love to tell you that because you are going to love that, but I'm not going to tell you on air.
Jake Johnson
Can you give us a. Without any specifics. Tell us or you're a free teacher.
Nicole
Definitely. In the same vein of this conversation.
Jake Johnson
I think you got two paths forward. I think it's in either bury it. But I got to say, as we're talking and getting to know you a little bit, I don't think burying it's the move. I think that you got to sniff around and see if there's a bomb in these woods a little bit. I think you got to do the random text and just start a dialogue and see if there's any smoke. If the. The way le born and I did that terrible example of the wedding, I think there's something to that. Okay, what do you guys think?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, either way, opening it up, kind of clearing the air in whatever way, or even if you don't have to, clearing the air and just starting to see the vibe. I bet. I bet you'll be able to tell a little bit of what's going on.
Nicole
You never know with women. They're good at hiding things.
Gareth Reynolds
No, for sure.
Rob Hollis
I think you come out of the closet with this one. I think you let every. I think you let everybody know you a freak. Let everybody know you like to get busy.
Jake Johnson
But Lamorin, how would she do that? If you were her, how would you.
Nicole
Do that, like, to your group of friends? How do you come out that way?
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Rob Hollis
Accidentally. Accidentally send a video of yourself that you, you know, when you were in the office alone and say, late night sesh with myself. You know what I'm saying? And then be like, oh, my bad, you guys. Does this. Does this confuse you? You know, we gotta be more open, man.
Jake Johnson
I gotta say. Hold on. We've done a lot of these so far. That's probably the worst advice we've ever heard, my man.
Rob Hollis
No, no, no, it's not. It's not. You know, it's like when.
Jake Johnson
Hey, hey, late night sesh. You know what? Saying, because what's going to happen got away from me. Everybody.
Rob Hollis
What's going to happen is they're now going to expect this from you. And, you know, and your secret of, like, loving to masturbate in Front of people's cats, in their homes, on their furniture, on. In their. In the refrigerator.
Jake Johnson
Mute this man, Kevin. Mute this man. Gareth, in closing. You got anything in closing?
Gareth Reynolds
Look, there's some options. I'm curious exactly what path you'll take. I mean, you basically said it, but I just want to again be clear. I have house sat. I have masturbated on the couch where they hang out. I've done it with the animals adjacent. So as far as you ever going there should. You should feel. You should not feel bad about what you did. When I have people come to my house and I can take care of my cat, I know they're definitely doing strange stuff in the places where I hang out.
Jake Johnson
You know what I just realized? I think I might want to start a business. And it's called We House it. And we don't masturbate in your house.
Gareth Reynolds
Apparently, I'm going to master sitters.
Jake Johnson
But if you have. If you have pets and you need someone to house it, I don't want people masturbating on my couch. I don't want people using it as a.
Gareth Reynolds
You're not going to.
Jake Johnson
As a one person orgy.
Gareth Reynolds
No, I'm doing. I'm doing one that's called Pet Star Baiters. And actually we lean in and we promise. Our guarantee is that we are going to be playing with ourselves around your animals just like you would. Just like anybody would.
Rob Hollis
It's gross.
Jake Johnson
Gross.
Gareth Reynolds
So I'll see you on Shark Tank, Emma.
Jake Johnson
I would love to see. I got to tell you, Barbara from Shark Tank would go, now that's a good idea. I am a real estate mogul and I always masturbate.
Gareth Reynolds
Mr. Wonderful. I'd love for you. I'd love for you and Barbara to partner up. That was kind of my dream pairing.
Jake Johnson
Mark Cuban. I always masturbate. I masturbate in Dallas in the locker rooms.
Gareth Reynolds
We actually have a Jack shack in the Mavericks locker room.
Jake Johnson
So, Emma, I would say my what I want to push you towards, but. But I keep going back and forth. My feeling is maybe there's a random email, but I also feel like you're asking for trouble. You masturbated in her house for a week straight. You had a lot of fun. Nothing has come of it. You have not heard.
Rob Hollis
She did.
Jake Johnson
Well, God bless you. You have not heard from that group of friends. There's not chatter, there's no smoke. I think you got to swallow this grenade and just kind of move forward.
Nicole
All right, I think that's pretty, pretty solid advice because if they do know the connection.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lamore and Gareth. You got anything else in closing?
Gareth Reynolds
No, I think that's right. I. I think, I think, I think reach out. Let's clear the air. But I'm curious what's going on with.
Jake Johnson
Lamort Lamorn in closing. You got any final advice?
Rob Hollis
Don't be ashamed who you are, you know, you're a freak. You know, I. I'm not ashamed. I'm not ashamed. I got a lot of straight to camera roll videos out there.
Jake Johnson
What does that mean?
Gareth Reynolds
Do you want to plug any of those?
Rob Hollis
I'm a poor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look out for my hidden folder in my iPhone. Shout out to.
Jake Johnson
Shout out to my hidden folder.
Gareth Reynolds
Shout out to the dog pics folder on my phone.
Nicole
Here's to the hidden folder.
Lamorne Morris
Yeah.
Jake Johnson
So, Emma, at the end here, we always like to ask, what do you think that you're going to actually do?
Nicole
I think that I am going to bury this in my trauma memories and pretend it never happened and send a text to reach out just to see if they're going to pretend everything's okay too.
Jake Johnson
That makes a lot of sense. All right, well, I want to say thank you for calling in. I also want to say thank you to the always charming, the always handsome, the freak in the sheets and the freak on the streets, Mr. Lamorne Morris. Damn.

Lamorne Morris
So I'm Nicole I'm 29 and I'm from San Diego, but my husband and I are actually on our way to moving to Boise today. So we're kind of.
Jake Johnson
Right now.
Gareth Reynolds
I lived there for. I had a Weird Year in Boise. That's another podcast. Okay, great.
Jake Johnson
Weird Year in Boise from Gareth Reynolds.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Are you. Because I feel like it's not going to do great.
Jake Johnson
I'm excited about Weird Year in Boise.
Gareth Reynolds
As you know, it was pretty weird. All right, Nicole, so what. What can we help you with today?
Lamorne Morris
Yeah, so this weekend on Saturday, my little sister is getting married, and my older sister and I are the maid of honors. And we've been the maid of honors for all of our, you know, weddings. Like, both of us, you know, both sisters and everything. And we're kind of getting a little stumped on what we should do for speech, because our speeches for each other have been pretty creative, but we don't want to do the same thing. Like, for my older sister's wedding, my little sister and I did like a song parody. And then for my wedding.
Gareth Reynolds
What. Can we just ask, what. What. What parody song you did?
Lamorne Morris
Oh, yeah, it was Part of youf World from the Little Mermaid.
Jake Johnson
Nicole, can we hear a little bit about it?
Gareth Reynolds
Just a taste.
Lamorne Morris
Oh, gosh. We want to see all the people right now. We want to see them on the dance floor. I can't remember the words.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, my gosh.
Jake Johnson
All right, that was something. We got a taste of it. We got a sense of it.
Gareth Reynolds
I'll be honest, I think it's a pretty low bar if I'm being totally with you. So I think we could. I think we could beat this.
Lamorne Morris
So then for my wedding, you know, they started to play music. They asked the DJ to play music. So I thought they were going to do a song parody. And then they had a record scratch kind of, and they're like, no, we're not going to be doing that because Nicole's the creative one. So I do feel like there is a little bit of pressure.
Gareth Reynolds
What did they do after the record scratch instead?
Lamorne Morris
Oh, they just said like a regular, you know, just a speech and, you know, saying how, like, you know, interesting.
Gareth Reynolds
Stuff about interesting set up and punch. I'm not gonna lie. I. They were probably great at the event, but for Jake and I, I mean, we feel pretty good about being able to beat this.
Jake Johnson
I kind of agree, Gareth. I kind of agree. So just to kind of get where we're at, your sisters did you guys did a song parody of Little Mermaid. It worked pretty well. Your other sisters for you did a record scratch and then just a traditional speech. Is that correct?
Lamorne Morris
Yeah. And so right now, we kind of have an idea, like, kind of doing, like, a bit. So, like, we want to. I don't know if you've watched the Office or anything, but there's this one scene at Phyllis's wedding where Michael Scott would intro, like, four different wedding speeches. And so we were thinking of, like, kind of bickering, being like, oh, no, this should be the intro of the speech. Or this should be the intro, like, and then just being like, you know what? We're actually just really bad at speeches. So let's bring out, like, here's a video of someone helping us out. And kind of like, the tag piece of it would be trying to find, like, a celebrity that they like. So I know that they have cameo where you can pay an actor to, you know, make a little video. Unfortunately, though, when we're trying to get information from her and her fiance, the characters that they really liked weren't on cameo.
Rob Hollis
Huh.
Lamorne Morris
So now we're kind of stumped, and we just. We don't know if that, like, would be, like, a good bit, like us trying to intro stuff like that and then, like, bringing in someone else to kind of close the speech. But I'm just. We're not sure if that's gonna land.
Gareth Reynolds
I. I like that. I think. I. I think there's something to that. The idea.
Jake Johnson
Who are the characters they like? Who are the characters they like?
Gareth Reynolds
That's a good question.
Lamorne Morris
So they're big fans of New Girl in Brooklyn, Nine9, and the Office.
Gareth Reynolds
It's so interesting because we have two people who new Girl, Brian and Nick are on the. The G. Damn call right now. Go ahead.
Jake Johnson
So the idea that you were thinking, Nicole, was that maybe you would set up something where you're trying to do the speech. It's not working. You're introducing others. Hopefully, you're getting mom and dad and some uncles and aunts to laugh at this bit. And then at a certain point, you want to go, you know what? Here's the real speech. And you would play a video that you would have a cameo of somebody from New Girl or Brooklyn Nine Nine or the Office kind of come on and say what to your sister.
Lamorne Morris
Just like a congratulations and then, like a piece of, like, marital advice. And it could be. Yeah, so just anything that they would think is, you know.
Jake Johnson
And then what's your name?
Rob Hollis
Funny.
Jake Johnson
But also Nicole. What's your sister's name?
Gareth Reynolds
And the husband.
Lamorne Morris
Her name is Natalie.
Jake Johnson
Natalie.
Lamorne Morris
And then my. Well, my future brother in law is. His name is Jeremy.
Jake Johnson
Jeremy. You know what I think we're gonna do, Nicole?
Gareth Reynolds
You think we can do this?
Jake Johnson
Yes, we're gonna. What do you say we do the video right now for Natalie and Jeremy, and maybe you'll be part of it too. But we have a real surprise guest that our producer put together on this one. We would like to add another person to the call. The great Mr. Lamorne Morris.
Lamorne Morris
Oh, my gosh.
Gareth Reynolds
There we go.
Jake Johnson
Oh, man, you can't see this, but Lamorne is laying on his side in some sort of a camp.
Rob Hollis
What y'all niggas talking about?
Jake Johnson
So, Lamorne, here's where we're at. We're about to make a wedding speech.
Rob Hollis
Good morning, Jake. First and foremost, I just want to say good morning, everybody. Everybody.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Good morning.
Jake Johnson
Good morning, man. Thank you.
Rob Hollis
How y'all sleep?
Jake Johnson
Good, Good.
Gareth Reynolds
Been up for a while, but. But good.
Rob Hollis
What time is it?
Gareth Reynolds
It's definitely like wake up time. Close to.
Rob Hollis
Oh, damn.
Jake Johnson
Just a true idiot. Where did you get that? For your head.
Rob Hollis
You mean my. My OVO Durag. Drake gave it to me. Drake gave me this.
Jake Johnson
Oh, incredible.
Rob Hollis
Are you talking about this brown lightning shirt? Yeah, that's available now.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, wow.
Jake Johnson
I was talking about these we're here to help hats that are available now.
Rob Hollis
Oh, okay. Oh, okay. My bad. Who on the phone?
Jake Johnson
Nicole, will you introduce yourself and say a little something to Lamorne Morris?
Lamorne Morris
So I'm Nicole and this is awesome. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe that you're here because what's really funny is that my brother, my future brother in law is also a cop. So.
Rob Hollis
Very nice, Very nice.
Jake Johnson
Okay, that's something we could kind of chime in. And what does. What does Natalie do for work?
Lamorne Morris
The thing is, so she's like super smart and everything, and I don't really know what her job title is. I think she's like an environmental, like, biologist. Like, she goes out in the field and tell people which plants and stuff are endangered. But also she takes pictures of islands and. And dots, birds. And.
Jake Johnson
Tell me this. What are. What are a few things you like about Natalie and Jeremy? What does the family like about this pairing?
Lamorne Morris
Well, we really like, I don't know, they seem very well, like, linked together. Like, they make sense. They both are serious, but also kind of match each other's silliness level in a way. And. Well, so their wedding is also going to be in a church. So they both, like, met. Where they met was at Like FCA meeting.
Gareth Reynolds
What did they meet at?
Lamorne Morris
The Christian Fellow Christian Athletes meeting in college. So they went.
Gareth Reynolds
Did you just give us an acronym and think that these three individuals would know what that meant?
Jake Johnson
But then also, she didn't know it.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Then she's like, you know, it's where Christian athletes go to mingle. It's like a draft for Christian athletes.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so they're both athletes. They like that. They're kind of serious, and they're a little bit silly. He's a cop.
Lamorne Morris
Yes.
Rob Hollis
Like a detective or. He wear a uniform? Does he get to, like, do the gang unit? Because I'll take this durag off.
Lamorne Morris
He wears a uniform. I know he has a police dog that he just got and.
Jake Johnson
Police dog.
Lamorne Morris
The dog's name is.
Gareth Reynolds
Yes.
Lamorne Morris
Axel.
Jake Johnson
Ax.
Gareth Reynolds
Of course.
Jake Johnson
All kinds. And they run named Axel since.
Lamorne Morris
Well, what's funny is his favorite movie is Rush Hour, and I guess he tried to rename the dog Carter.
Jake Johnson
And they're like, you can't do that with Jackie Chan.
Lamorne Morris
Yes.
Jake Johnson
Hey, Kevin. Bring him on.
Gareth Reynolds
You're not gonna believe this.
Jake Johnson
Jackie Chan. Come on.
Gareth Reynolds
He's in the bathtub.
Jake Johnson
Yeah. Oh, his reception. He's in the bathtub. He just texted us. We're gonna go with just us.
Gareth Reynolds
Sorry.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so I will say this now to Lamorne and Gareth.
Gareth Reynolds
Do.
Jake Johnson
Do we feel like we need more, or are we ready? Because we're gonna send them this video, and hopefully they're gonna play it at their wedding. And I will say it's a big deal, guys. It's their wedding.
Gareth Reynolds
It's the Closer, too. So this is like, you're gonna have given your speech, and then you're gonna bring us in for the closer, basically, right, Nicole?
Lamorne Morris
100%.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay.
Jake Johnson
So do we need more info? What she said before you got on LE Moran was, you know, just congratulate them. Then a little bit of advice we could go around and give about marriage. Is there anything we need besides them, or shall we.
Rob Hollis
Give me a key. Give me a key. I might break into song. I don't know if I'm going to. But if I get a key from her. Something that symbolizes your family.
Jake Johnson
That's as weird of a question as you could have asked.
Gareth Reynolds
It's a great question.
Rob Hollis
A above middle C. I mean, how you want to do it?
Gareth Reynolds
Nicole, do you have a range?
Lamorne Morris
I don't.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay. What I like about that question is we've already. They've done music, but this is a nice.
Jake Johnson
This is a nice meeting of Little Mermaid. You got to sing Lamorne A little bit of that song parody. So he knows that. He knows the Little Mermaid.
Rob Hollis
I know. I want to be where the people are.
Lamorne Morris
Okay? So I do remember a little. I do remember a little bit of it. So it's that. So what? We were singing part of it. We want to be on the dance floor right now. We want to see. Want to see everyone dancing. Dancing along to that. What's that song again? Oh, yeah. Electric Slide.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay, okay, okay, Listen again. I like Our chance. This is a good closer. So you feel. You guys feel good? Should we just. How do you. Jake, just rehearsal. Do you want to.
Jake Johnson
I think we got to just shoot live. We're doing it live.
Gareth Reynolds
All right.
Jake Johnson
Don't you think?
Gareth Reynolds
O'Reilly it. Let's O'Reilly.
Jake Johnson
Don't you think?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, let's go.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so then on this video, to start, Nicole, how are you gonna intro it so literally.
Lamorne Morris
So after we're done, like, my older sister and I are done bickering, we're gonna be like, you know what? We're just really bad at speeches, so we brought in some people to help us with this speech.
Jake Johnson
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
And, Nicole, just so I know what I'm working with, people probably aren't going to freak out when they see me, right? It's probably just so.
Jake Johnson
Security guard Bryant.
Gareth Reynolds
All right, thank. That's all I needed. Jake, let's go.
Jake Johnson
Let's go. Hey, Gareth. Don't forget who you are. My king.
Rob Hollis
Right? I directed you. I know what you're capable of.
Gareth Reynolds
Talk about a pep talk.
Jake Johnson
I will say, Lamorne, you're getting. And I have known you for a lot of years. Right now you're getting dangerously close to your Denzel impression.
Rob Hollis
What do you. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jake Johnson
It started early with your. Okay, okay. And it might be the durag.
Rob Hollis
It might. This is chess, not checkers. You understand what I'm telling you?
Jake Johnson
Once I saw that on your head, I was like, I know how this is going to start. We're going to say, Natalie and Jeremy. Congrats. And I want to hear. Okay, okay. All right, so we got a. We got us. We're going to see what we can do, everybody. And Jeremy, Natalie and Jeremy, from your sister Nicole and. What's the other sister's name?
Lamorne Morris
Nancy.
Jake Johnson
Nancy.
Gareth Reynolds
Don't think we didn't pick up on what's going on here with these names, okay?
Rob Hollis
They're all girl names.
Gareth Reynolds
They're all names. A lady. Thank you very much.
Jake Johnson
What's really sad, Gareth, is when you said, don't say we haven't picked this up. I had to look at my notes because I had not picked it up. It was a crossword puzzle that got on top of me. I was like, nicole, Nancy, beautiful mind. Beautiful Natalie.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Yeah, right. We're in your mind palace.
Jake Johnson
Girls names. And I was like, all girls names.
Gareth Reynolds
Gotcha.
Jake Johnson
Gotcha. Yes. Victory. All right, let's do this. 3, 2, 1. Congratulations.
Gareth Reynolds
Way to go.
Jake Johnson
We are fired up for Natalie and Jeremy. How about a round of applause from everybody here? Everybody here.
Gareth Reynolds
Natalie, who digs in the soil and takes pictures of islands, and Jeremy, the cop who's got a dog named Axel.
Jake Johnson
You took all the info, you little snake. We just want to say that your sister Nicole asked us to come on and say a little something, because for her wedding, when you guys did the record scratch and then just talked, she just didn't think it was enough. Am I right or wrong, Lamorne?
Rob Hollis
Absolutely right. You know, she tried some things. She wanted some things to run past us. One of her ideas was she was gonna run in and say, what up? My n words like Natalie, Nicole, Nancy. But she was like, guys, is that a good idea? I asked my durag, and it said nah.
Jake Johnson
So I want to apologize to Natalie and Jeremy and the entire family. We want to say congratulations.
Gareth Reynolds
Yes. Three stars of New Girl. We know you're a fan of our show.
Rob Hollis
Three.
Gareth Reynolds
That's right. And all three of us here probably starstruck. Everybody's a little starstruck.
Jake Johnson
And then last, we want to go around, and we want to each offer one piece of advice to the newlyweds, the couple that everybody in the family is excited about. Jeremy, this side of the family likes you a lot. Nicole made that very clear. So, Garf, man, you want to start? How about some marital advice to the new couple on day one of their married life?
Gareth Reynolds
Listen, I'm in my 40s, and I have a cat. That's the level of commitment I have. So I can't offer up much. But in my relationships, I've noticed that saying you're sorry when you don't mean it seems to go a long way. So don't be afraid to just toss out a sorry every now and then. Just seems to work. Again, litter is my main issue.
Jake Johnson
Mr. Lamorne Morris.
Rob Hollis
Anything Now, I've been married, I want to say, 10 times all successful marriages. And the one thing that I learned that you got to do to keep that thing spicy in the bedroom is don't brush your teeth. So if you don't brush your teeth, you Know what a real love is? If they're willing to go mouth to mouth with you with them dirty ass teeth, then you know you got yourself a winner and you'll stay together forever and last.
Jake Johnson
I would like to say the old saying is don't go to bed angry. I think that's incorrect. I think it is okay to go to bed angry sometimes. Don't take it out on each other. So if you need to, Jeremy, sleep on the couch for a couple of nights. But it's all right. Go to bed early, start over fresh. In the morning when the tequila has gone down and you've sobered up, you don't have to resolve everything right away.
Rob Hollis
Or sleep at a hotel or sleep in a hotel.
Jake Johnson
And before we go, we've got a special guest. If everybody could close their eyes for a moment. Mr. Denzel Washington. You mind taking us out with a couple of lines before we let these people enjoy their lives together?
Rob Hollis
Ha ha ha. Natalie and Jeremy, it's important that you listen to these following words, okay? You must, and I repeat, you must stay together no matter the weather, no matter the color of the sweater. Because sometimes you might not like what he's putting on, okay? He goes outside and he embarrasses you. But you too, you too can be an embarrassment. So stay in embarrassment with each other, huh? No matter the summer, even if the Temperature is above 101, you must find the fun. Find the sun. I repeat, find the sun. You have to. I love you.
Jake Johnson
We all love you guys. Have a great life together.
Gareth Reynolds
Under the sea.
Jake Johnson
How was that?
Rob Hollis
They're not gonna last.
Lamorne Morris
I wasn't sure if it was still recording or not. No, that was great. Thank you so much.
Gareth Reynolds
So, all right, let's record one and get it.
Jake Johnson
Nicole, do you think you're going to play that at the wedding? You can be honest.
Lamorne Morris
I'll have to run it by my older sister, Nancy.
Jake Johnson
We gotta.
Lamorne Morris
We gotta agree on it.
Jake Johnson
But what. What do you feel? What do you feel?
Lamorne Morris
I think.
Jake Johnson
So how do you think it's gonna go over with your group?
Lamorne Morris
So. Good question.
Gareth Reynolds
Can I be honest? Your ambivalence is troubling. I gotta tell you. We've all been in the business for a while, and when you're getting picked up to series or you're not agree getting a green light, it's tough. I did not think the wedding was going to pass on our pilot.
Jake Johnson
Well, we're getting to the bottom of it, Nicole. So what are you feeling?
Rob Hollis
Where beep out the swear words.
Jake Johnson
What are you Feeling. This is a church group, right? They're athletes. So, yes, they're getting.
Lamorne Morris
Yes, they're getting married in a church. And we do have older family members that are going to be at the wedding.
Jake Johnson
Okay, sure. How about this? Let's try a. Let's try a second option. We are here to help. Guys, guys, I'm going to tell you this.
Rob Hollis
I missed the church part.
Jake Johnson
Gareth Lamorne, remember the premise of this show. We are on Nicole's team. Right.
Gareth Reynolds
I know, it's true. It's just think about when we were all doing New Girl. You know, I don't think we got this many notes on set, but you.
Jake Johnson
Weren'T there a lot. You weren't there.
Gareth Reynolds
We did. I was there. I was on set. I've been on set of New Girl being paid, so I don't know what.
Jake Johnson
Here we go. We're gonna try again.
Gareth Reynolds
The whole thing.
Jake Johnson
The goal of this, all right, is we're gonna do it in 30 seconds.
Gareth Reynolds
All right? Okay.
Lamorne Morris
Okay.
Gareth Reynolds
This is. This is worse. This is harder. No wonder I'm not a cameo. This is brutal.
Jake Johnson
In three, two, one. Hey. Congratulations to Natalie and Jeremy.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow, you guys really did it. It happened. If you're seeing this, you did say, I do, so. It's a fish.
Jake Johnson
We're very excited for you, Lamorne. What do you think?
Rob Hollis
You know, I think it's a very special occasion. It's a holy union. I want to give some advice if that's possible, please, you know, because I've been married so many times. Still am. Well, married to the game, baby. But, you know, if I were you guys, I would sleep as much as possible. Because when you sleep, you have that right mind for your partner. Okay? You stay sharp, you stay solid, you stay in love forever.
Jake Johnson
So we just want to say to Natalie and Jeremy, we are excited for you. Congratulations. Garf, I know you got a little advice? Shoot it.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I just wanted to point out I was also on New Girl, but I don't want to make it about me. I'm a 40 year old man. 43 year old man with a cat. That's my longest relationship. God bless. This is going to go great.
Jake Johnson
And last before last, before we leave. Denzel, you got anything?
Rob Hollis
The game of marriage is chess, not checkers. You understand what I'm telling you? It's chess, not checkers. Make your next move, your best move. You understand what I'm telling you?
Jake Johnson
Congratulations. You guys were really happy for you. What the fuck, Nicole? That was pretty good. Come on, Nicole, what do you think of that one.
Lamorne Morris
That one was good.
Gareth Reynolds
You do this voice thing where it gets higher. I'm in bed, Nicole. We're not buying it, Nicole. In our heads, when we heard what was about to happen, we were like, man, Nicole's gonna be so thankful. I feel like I am thankful. Well, is it good?
Jake Johnson
Where are you at, Nicole?
Gareth Reynolds
Be honest.
Jake Johnson
No, no. Here's what I need now. Here's what I. Now, Nicole, here's what we need. We need notes. What would you like this fucking speech to be? God damn it.
Lamorne Morris
I liked a lot of aspects of both speeches.
Jake Johnson
Okay, talk to us. Talk to us. So if we did a third, what would you want?
Lamorne Morris
Probably, I don't know. It all was really good. It's just. Remember that it's going to be at a church. At a church with elderly. Well, not elderly, but elderly.
Jake Johnson
Give me this, Nicole. Give me this. Give me this. Walk us through what you would like for the gamemanship of it all. We start off with an intro, right? Hellos, hellos.
Gareth Reynolds
This is.
Jake Johnson
Let's just do it.
Gareth Reynolds
This is why we're here. Right.
Lamorne Morris
What I really liked about the first one was just the hype that you had at the beginning.
Gareth Reynolds
So you like up top hype. Order at a restaurant. Okay. Up top hype.
Jake Johnson
Okay. And then we transition into.
Nicole
Yeah.
Lamorne Morris
The advice. You know, advice that you would. That you would be okay saying in a church.
Gareth Reynolds
Sure.
Rob Hollis
Oh, church advice. Church advice.
Jake Johnson
Okay. And then in closing, just a closing prayer. No, thanks.
Gareth Reynolds
No, Pastor Washington, you don't have to.
Jake Johnson
Okay, so we got. We got an intro, we got some hype, we got some advice, and then we've got a well wishes. Would you be happy with that?
Lamorne Morris
Yeah, 100%.
Jake Johnson
And in terms of length, where are you thinking?
Lamorne Morris
Oh, whatever you're comfortable with, Nicole.
Jake Johnson
You the boss, baby.
Lamorne Morris
It doesn't have.
Jake Johnson
You ain't bossy. You're the boss.
Lamorne Morris
Okay, I feel like I'm already asking a lot.
Gareth Reynolds
So do I. Jake is the only one.
Rob Hollis
Yeah.
Lamorne Morris
I'm not someone who asks a lot.
Gareth Reynolds

Gareth Reynolds
Oh, completely. Yeah. That's great. What a lovely service. We all go to church and love church, so. What a great service.
Rob Hollis
Exactly. Shout out to Reverend. Shout out to Reverend Jones in the back. You get that replacement hip yet, you old snake, you?
Jake Johnson

Very happy. Three stars of New Girl. Jake Johnson. Lamorne Morris. Brian from the show, Gareth Reynolds. We're so happy for you.
Jake Johnson
Yeah.
Rob Hollis
Against all odds, you survived. Nobody thought you were going to get married. Everybody had doubt in you.
Jake Johnson
All the arguments had doubt in you.
Gareth Reynolds
Doesn't matter.
Jake Johnson
Your sister Nicole asked us to do this. She said you guys have a lot of fun with your speeches and we just want to say from the bottom of our hearts that we hope you guys really stick it out.
Gareth Reynolds
Out.
Jake Johnson
Don't go to bed angry. Always be nice to each other. Always try to listen. Gentlemen, any advice for this lovely couple?
Gareth Reynolds
I actually have never been in a committed relationship. I have a cat, so always clean the litter. But what Jake said sounds really good. Really happy for you, Lamorne.
Jake Johnson
What you got?
Rob Hollis
Always stare into each other's eyes. So you could read the tea leaves. You understand what I'm telling you? You know, when your partner's up to something.
Jake Johnson
And guys, we just want to say in closing to everybody there, thank you guys for having a wonderful night. And please, everybody, give a big hug to Natalie and Jeremy. Congratulations, guys.
Rob Hollis
Don't forget Axel and Axel.
Jake Johnson
Nicole, where we at?
Lamorne Morris
Did Lamorne says that everyone had doubts about Bob.
Gareth Reynolds
That's a blooper. There's bloop. There's bloopers. Listen, okay, this is. I mean, honestly, what I have. We have lives outside of this speech.
Rob Hollis
My kid. My kid is in the car right.
Gareth Reynolds
Now, like he's an accountant on April 14th. Right now.
Jake Johnson
In three, two, one. Hey. Hey. Natalie and Jeremy.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow, A wedding.
Jake Johnson
You did it.
Gareth Reynolds
We're so proud of you.
Jake Johnson
Congratulations, guys. We're really happy for you. Your sweet sister Nicole asked us to do this. Hi, Nancy. How you doing? And we just want to say we wish you guys all the best from your friends at New Girl. And. Any advice, gentlemen?
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I just. We heard about the event and we said we'll just do one quick take of a speech just to get it out there and give it to you and wish you the best. So we really do wish you the best. Lamorn, you got anything?
Rob Hollis
Yeah. Shout out to Deacon Jones in the back. You gotta call me. You gotta call me. You owe me something. I'll take payment soon. Venmo works. Don't think cause you had a wedding that I wasn't gonna run up on you. I love you and I know there's a wedding, but I need my stuff. Deacon.
Gareth Reynolds
Oh, man, we're so happy for all of you. And obviously Deacon Jones is totally invented. And that's not real at all. We're just having some fun. And fun is what life and marriage is all about. This is going to go great. Jake, don't look so stressed. You should be happy. We're at the finish line. Oh, God bless.
Rob Hollis
We helped.
Jake Johnson
What are you talking about?
Gareth Reynolds
I think the goal of that speech was to make you miss the one before it.
Jake Johnson
Nicole, do we have any wins here?
Lamorne Morris
Yes, there are some wins there.
Jake Johnson
Now, I gotta ask, honestly, is there any world you're playing this at that church wedding? Okay, let's do one more. Hey, Kevin, can you mute Lamorne?
Rob Hollis
No, just, just. I'll keep it clean. I'll keep it.
Gareth Reynolds
Listen, I will.
Rob Hollis
I will keep it. Okay, watch this, watch this.
Jake Johnson
So, Lamorn, you start our intro. Let's see if that changes it.
Rob Hollis
Okay?
Jake Johnson
In three, two, one.
Rob Hollis
This is Hip Hop Church. I'll start again. I'll start.
Gareth Reynolds
What is this?
Rob Hollis
Jesus Christ is my homie. I'm stop y'all. What? Y'all are messing this up for her. Y'all are messing this up for her.
Gareth Reynolds
Are you talking to you?
Jake Johnson
Okay, you're wearing a durag and you're laid at bed. You are not a real person.
Gareth Reynolds
How Deacon Jones is gonna get run up on.
Jake Johnson
You are just not a serious person.
Rob Hollis
I got it. You just gotta let me be.
Jake Johnson
In three. In two, go.
Rob Hollis
Congratulations, Jeremy and Natalie. It's your wedding day. Everybody in the building is excited, excited to see you. They come from all over the world.
Jake Johnson
I work with Lamorne. Guys.
Rob Hollis
From miles. I don't think mother looks.
Jake Johnson
It's a guy playing in bed with a durag on talking hindsight in some rhythmic way. I don't think it. Hey, yo, it's. It's not going to work. Listen, people.
Rob Hollis
Older people in church like to relate to the younger folks, so you got to. You got to bridge that gap.
Jake Johnson
All right, let's start again. Gareth, can you try in trial?
Gareth Reynolds
All right, let's try. All right, ready?
Jake Johnson
Three, two, one.
Gareth Reynolds
Natalie and Jeremy, you did it. You got married. And we want to help you celebrate. Stars of the hit show New Girl. Gareth Reynolds. Brian the security guard, Jake Johnson. Lamorne Morris. And we're all here because we know you want to see something big. We got to outdo the previous speeches, the system.
Jake Johnson
And I think we are, Gareth, and I think we are. Now, mind you, the Little Mermaid song was great, but I think we're winning this one, don't you?
Gareth Reynolds
I agree. Jake, why don't you give him a little bit of advice? You've learned you're a married guy.
Jake Johnson
Well, here's what I'm going to say to you, Jerry. You got to find your way into the family just the way you have found your way into your bond with Axel at work. So I want you to start looking at your father in law as Axel and bond with that man. You're part of the team now. You're part of the family. And I'll say this. Nicole has a lot of great things to say about you, too. She says that you guys are equally serious but equally silly, and she loves the match. And I think the whole family does.
Gareth Reynolds
Yep. And you could see Jake's been a little emotional from even hearing about these nuptials. Lamorne, now, why don't you close out this speech with some great, great, great advice that would play great right now.
Jake Johnson
All right, thank you guys so much. We really appreciate Natalie and Jeremy. You guys have a wonderful wedding. Thank you, guys.
Gareth Reynolds
Appreciate it.
Jake Johnson
I knew he was going south.
Gareth Reynolds
We got it.
Jake Johnson
So, hold on.
Gareth Reynolds
No.
Jake Johnson
Nicole, what'd you think of that?
Lamorne Morris
That one was great.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay, I'm sorry.
Lamorne Morris
I'm so sorry, but I didn't mention that my dad passed a few years ago.
Gareth Reynolds
Okay, but is there a way that.
Lamorne Morris
That piece could just get cut out and everything else is perfect?
Gareth Reynolds
Yes, yes, yes.
Jake Johnson
Can you lift the dad stuff?
Rob Hollis
Yep.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank God.
Jake Johnson
Yep.
Gareth Reynolds
I got it. But we got it.
Lamorne Morris
I should have said something.
Gareth Reynolds
No, please, listen.
Jake Johnson
We did. After all that, you revealed that you're dead.
Gareth Reynolds
Amazing that after all that, we talked about your father who's passed away, and you're like. But this is the best one.
Jake Johnson
Hey, Nicole. Nicole.
Gareth Reynolds
Wow.
Jake Johnson
Thank you for the call, Nicole.
Gareth Reynolds
Venmo us. You owe us a thousand dollars each.
Jake Johnson
And Lamore, thank you so much.
Lamorne Morris
I will play that last. That last one was.
Jake Johnson
You really will?
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Maybe there's. Phil. If you get any footage of it.
Lamorne Morris
Send the dad pieces out.
Jake Johnson
Send us.
Lamorne Morris
Kevin, cut that out. Yeah.
Gareth Reynolds
Send us a video of this speech playing. Cause we would love to know how it goes.
Jake Johnson
I think that's right. That feels like a fair trade. Will you make sure somebody, if not you, films it and sends it to Kevin?
Lamorne Morris
100%.
Rob Hollis
Thank you. Can you also. Can you make sure that everyone at the wedding understands that the link is in my bio if they want a fabulous brown lightning T shirt.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. Make sure to spread the word at the wedding about the brown lightning merch.
Rob Hollis
Thanks, guys.
Jake Johnson
And I'm also gonna tell you in the. Cole, you got a sense of what it was like to work with Lamor for seven years. We would be trying to go home, wouldn't we? Lamor and I would go like this. Please, my man, just say it. Just say the line, man.
Gareth Reynolds
Please.
Rob Hollis
I'll say.
Jake Johnson
Ideas.
Rob Hollis
Workshopping. Ideas.
Jake Johnson
Guys, we gotta get off this call. Nicole, thank you very much.
Gareth Reynolds
Thank you, Nicole.
Lamorne Morris
Thank you so much.
Gareth Reynolds
God bless.
Jake Johnson
All right, so, guys, thank you for listening.
Gareth Reynolds
Appreciate it.
Jake Johnson
As you can see, you know, they're great calls. We love Lamorne. It was a lot of fun. So we just decided to, you know, while this was running, we were talking and we decided what we would like to do is offer Lamorne and Kyle to come on the show for a very special episode. We can release it on ours. And the Lamorning after podcast, we could bury the hatchet. We could have all this out.
Gareth Reynolds
Well, I think when you listen back to those two calls, what jumps out to me? Is we were having a hell of a time.
Jake Johnson
Yes.
Gareth Reynolds
I mean, this was the good. This was the good old days.
Jake Johnson
I also spent seven years with this guy at New Girl. I love the guy like a brother.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah. I mean, you hear that. You can hear that between you two for it.
Jake Johnson
And I know that you and Kyle love each other like cousins.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, well, we see each other at the lesser host events all the time. I mean, we're always bumping into each other.
Jake Johnson
So many worlds to the podcast people don't know about.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, no, they don't know. There's like eight different ponds to this.
Jake Johnson
Yes.
Gareth Reynolds
So.
Jake Johnson
But what. So, guys, listen, Lamorne, Kyle, let's do. Come on the show. We'll go. We'll do like, let's. It's time to start.
Gareth Reynolds
And then.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, like, look, we all know the world can get pretty ugly and things could get really out of hand, but God, what we're just trying to do here is we're just trying to bring people together. We would love to have you guys on. Go ahead.
Gareth Reynolds
And let me say, we don't expect an apology. Apology.
Jake Johnson
It'd be nice.
Gareth Reynolds
It'd be nice. But we don't. We don't need it. We're. We're those guys. We're those guys.
Jake Johnson
So here's what we're asking Lamorne, before you and I end up on People's Court and I take every dollar from you, which I'm willing to do. I don't want to, but I'm willing to. We'll get in a legal mess. You and me will spend seven years in court together. We'll both be broke.
Gareth Reynolds
Shows like an hour.
Jake Johnson
What's that?
Gareth Reynolds
The show's an hour. So I don't know people's heart.
Jake Johnson
We'll go back. Oh, so it'll be a multi season arc.
Rob Hollis
Wow.
Gareth Reynolds
I don't think they've done that. Okay, okay.
Jake Johnson
Ryan Murphy will do a show about us on fx.
Gareth Reynolds
Crazy Court.
Jake Johnson
Crazy Court. But listen, guys, come on the show. Yeah, you can really. We'll do. Go on yours.
Gareth Reynolds
Let's just.
Jake Johnson
Let's bury this. Let's get back to peace and love.
Gareth Reynolds
Yep, let's. The good times were great times. So let's get back to that. And I think the best way to. To sign off is probably to just hear that Joe Biden audio one more time.
Jake Johnson
James.
Gareth Reynolds
Just because that really was where the whole thing bottomed out, man. Look, look, look, look.
Jake Johnson
Yeah, I know. Look, look, look. We're here to help, man. Come on, man. I like the blacks and I like, we're here to help. Favorite radio station, Jake Johnson. Let me sniff his ear while I figured him. Okay, goodbye, everybody. And I want to say something to the audience really fast. I'm sorry about this episode.
Gareth Reynolds
Yeah, this is not okay.
Jake Johnson
Sorry to anybody who's listening going, what happened? But we don't know either, guys, this is Thursday.
Gareth Reynolds
Thursdays are wild cards.
Jake Johnson
Thursdays are wild. Wild. On Monday, it's gonna feel normal.
Gareth Reynolds
Monday we'll be back to right. This is.
Jake Johnson
This is a disaster.
Gareth Reynolds
Joe Biden did not say that. All right, thanks, everybody.

Podcast Summary: We're Here to Help - Episode 150: Pod Wars: The Lamorne Tapes
Overview
In Episode 150 of We're Here to Help, hosted by Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds from Headgum, the dynamic duo delve into a heated confrontation with Lamorne Morris, best known for his role in New Girl. Titled "Pod Wars: The Lamorne Tapes," this episode unravels the complexities of their fractured relationship, exploring issues of misrepresentation, personal boundaries, and attempts at reconciliation. The episode combines candid discussions, humorous exchanges, and a unique interactive segment involving a fictional wedding speech.
Early Tensions and Misrepresentation
The episode kicks off with Jake and Gareth expressing their frustration over Lamorne Morris's use of technology to misrepresent their podcast interactions. Lamorne reportedly utilized voice generator apps to fabricate conversations that portrayed Jake and Gareth negatively.
Jake Johnson [07:05]: "What Lamorne does on his podcast with Kyle is, I think, tries to get people just to look at him in pajama outfits."
Gareth Reynolds [08:35]: "Because everyone knows without them, what are we doing? We're just walking around a soundstage doing nothing."
Mustache Controversy: "Mustache Gate"
A significant point of contention is the so-called "Mustache Gate," where Kyle Reynolds's mustache allegedly hampered their podcast's success. Jake and Gareth assert that Lamorne pressured Kyle to shave off his mustache, negatively impacting their show's ratings and advertiser appeal.
Jake Johnson [17:06]: "Hollywood's a small town, and his mustache looks goofy. It's an embarrassment to the show."
Gareth Reynolds [17:30]: "It's a bad mother. It's just not great."
Deep Fakes and Fake News
Jake and Gareth highlight instances where Lamorne released heavily edited, fake clips intended to tarnish their reputation. One notable example includes a manipulated audio clip of Joe Biden speaking inappropriately.
Jake Johnson [15:57]: "So, Lamorne's claiming this is what Joe Biden... said during an interview."
Gareth Reynolds [16:17]: "Man, look, look, look, look."
Emotional Strain and Betrayal
The hosts reveal the depth of their personal relationship with Lamorne, describing him as "a brother" and expressing heartbreak over the fallout.
Attempts at Moving Forward
Despite the animosity, Jake and Gareth contemplate a path toward reconciliation by inviting Lamorne and Kyle Reynolds to their show for a special episode. They aim to "bury the hatchet" and clear the air.
Jake Johnson [93:04]: "But listen, what we're just trying to do here is just trying to bring people together. We would love to have you guys on."

The episode introduces "Nicole," a caller who shares an embarrassing incident where she was caught masturbating by a pet camera while house-sitting for friends. This segment serves as a comedic yet insightful exploration of privacy intrusions and personal embarrassment.
Advice Discourse
Jake, Gareth, and guest Rob Hollis offer a mix of humorous and genuine advice on handling such embarrassing situations, emphasizing moving forward and addressing the issue directly if possible.
Jake Johnson [39:00]: "If I'm alone in a hotel room, the first thing, you got to let it rip."
Gareth Reynolds [49:17]: "You come out of the closet with this one. I think you let everybody know you’re a freak."
Rehearsed Wedding Speech with Lamorne
In a creative twist, the hosts attempt to craft a wedding speech for Nicole's sister, Natalie, incorporating Lamorne into the process. This segment is filled with improvisational humor, showcasing the hosts' chemistry and their ongoing playful antagonism with Lamorne.
Jake Johnson [63:19]: "This is Hip Hop Church. I'll start again."
Rob Hollis [87:57]: "Whatever diet you’re after, Hungry Root is just like having a personal shopper and a nutritionist all wrapped into one."
Invitation to Reconcile
The episode concludes with Jake and Gareth extending an olive branch to Lamorne Morris, inviting him to join their podcast for a special episode aimed at resolving their differences and moving forward collaboratively.
Jake Johnson [92:33]: "But what we're going to do is offer Lamorne and Kyle to come on the show for a very special episode."
