No one knows ♪
No one cares ♪
I keep dressing up myself
And go nowhere ♪
No one loves me ♪
Like I do ♪
And to think there was a time
When that was you ♪
I ♪
[Morgan] Oh my God, you're late.
- [Joanne] I know.
- Have to do the first segment.
I'd love to apologize, Morgan,
but I can't.
What?
I just had the single greatest kiss
of my entire existence.
Okay, great. Save it for the show because
I have nothing to talk about this week.
I've had a UTI for the last three days,
and I didn't even get it the fun way.
- Here's your cranberry juice.
- Thank you.
I used to get them all the time
with your father.
- Mom.
- Gross.
- Morgan, you're gonna die.
- Okay.
Noah and I were playing
this fun cat-and-mouse game,
pretending let's just be friends.
And, obviously, we both know
that is never gonna happen.
Okay, go on.
I did this cute thing at the restaurant
where I was like,
"I don't think I can stay."
Let me guess. You stayed.
- Oh, I stayed.
- Yeah.
And then we walked down the street
and ate ice cream.
You know when you see annoying couples
eating ice cream, and you wanna kill them?
We were that couple!
Okay, keep going.
Then he said, "Put down your ice cream."
- I don't hate that.
- Me neither 'cause he was taking charge.
Okay. And did you do what you were told?
I mean, obviously.
- Yes, chef.
- Mm-hmm.
And then you know what happens next.
You went back and fucked in the bathroom.
No, we just kissed.
I said that on the way in.
Maybe that's why you have
all those UTIs. My God.
I mean, it's possible.
[sighs]
- Remind me who the guest is tonight.
- Okay, it is Dr. Jay Shah.
- My idea.
- [Joanne] That makes me nervous.
He wrote a book about how your aura
indicates what kind of person you are.
Oh, that sounds stupid.
Oh, he's not stupid. He has a degree
from the University of Turks and Caicos.
- [Morgan] Okay.
- You need to be fact-checking that.
[Morgan] I did. Kind of.
Where's his biography?
There's nothing here.
There's just quotes and birds.
[upbeat music playing]
- [Noah] Hey!
- [Sasha] Oh! Hey, dude, where you been?
What the hell happened?
I got, like, ten calls
from Rebecca's phone.
It was her mom saying
she's almost in a coma.
I don't know what almost in a coma means.
But yeah, she's okay.
Yeah?
She ran into the back of a parked bus
and she, like, broke her wrist.
She's gotta have a surgery
to put a pin in there.
- Her wrist?
- Yeah.
- That's it?
- Yeah, that's it.
- So she's fine.
- [Sasha] She's okay.
- Thank God.
- Dude, she's better than okay.
She's gonna get painkillers, and gonna be
able to take a couple of day off of work.
God, wait.
Should I drive into the back of a bus?
- Honestly, I like that for you.
- Yeah.
Oh, wait. There Uh, one more
little bit of fun news for you.
Mom and Dad are with Rebecca's parents,
and they're sniping at one another.
The only thing they agree on
is that they're all mad at you.
What are they mad at me for?
Well, you're the one
that, like, caused the accident.
- Obviously.
- What?
She's, like, so heartbroken
that she ran into a bus. It's easy math.
Wait a second.
Do they think she
like, tried to, like
What, kill herself?
Because of
[laughing]because of because of you?
No, look. You're cute, but you're not
"leave this Earth
because you dumped someone" cute.
I didn't dump her, okay?
People break up. It happens all the time.
I don't care. I'm just trying to tell you
what the people inside are saying.
I'm playing both sides,
trying to defend you
while also defending myself.
- [Noah] Great. Thank you so much.
- Yeah.
Where were you?
Were you out with that tiny blonde girl?
- Uh, I'm not gonna answer that right now.
- Okay, so that's a yes.
[gentle music playing]
We had a really nice time.
You had a really nice time.
God, you tell the worst stories.
[man] Your aura is
It's not a forest green.
It's more emerald.
It means that you are very generous.
Oh my God!
This stuff actually works
because that is me. That is me.
You literally Venmo requested me
for a smoothie this morning.
- [Morgan] So?
- Do Joanne now.
Oh, sure. Yeah.
Oh no, no. I'm good.
I'm okay. Thank you though.
Please. It's like having Jason Mraz here,
and you don't ask him to sing "I'm Yours?"
Mom, you're obsessed with Jason Mraz.
I see your point, Mom. Okay, go for it.
- All right? Right. Okay.
- Bring it. Yes.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
[Morgan] Okay, for our listeners,
the doctor is moving his hands
around my sister's face.
Oh.
Yep. What? Why are you touching me?
'Cause you didn't touch anybody else.
I'm having a little bit of a hard time
finding your aura.
Wow.
I'm not finding it.
It's rare, but it happens.
[groans] That's bad.
Do you think it's possible
that you can't find it
because this is not real?
Oh! So cynical.
Starting to make sense now.
- See? This is why she never got married.
- Better than being divorced.
Don't lash out, honey.
It doesn't help your case.
- I'm not trying to prove anything.
- [Morgan] You're screaming.
I'm literally not screaming.
- Wow. She gets like this.
- Oh?
Do you wanna hear something weird?
She's dating a rabbi.
Oh! Really?
Huh.
"Huh"?
What does "huh" mean?
Well, it's just that people who are
close to God have such powerful auras,
whereas yours is eh.
I have to say it. I don't think
you're allowed to wear that kimono.
My partner is Japanese,
so arigato.
[pensive music playing]
- You want it too.
- [Noah's mom] Yulia, don't worry. Ah.
Hey, everyone.
[Sasha grunts]
It's a shame she had to have an accident
to get you to pay attention to her.
Well, I'm here.
Where have you been, son?
How is she?
- Sh sh she's in God's hands.
- [Noah] Right.
And how is the wrist?
[Yulia] There's no way to know.
Okay. Can I go see her?
Why? To break her heart too?
No, well I'm here
to make sure Rebecca's okay.
You don't need to see her.
She's gone through enough.
I spoke to the nurses.
She's gonna be fine.
Suddenly, he's a doctor.
Actually, had my older brother Sidney
not died from typhoid,
I would've gone to medical school.
I filled out all the forms and everything.
- You hear that? He filled out the forms.
- He did. I was there.
And they were very difficult
and very complicated.
Thank you.
Anatoly, I will
let those insulting comments go
due to our long-term friendship
and the stress of the situation.
The cafeteria was closed, but here's
what I was able to grab from vending.
Noah, how nice of you to finally join us.
I'm so happy to be here, Esther.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
Okay, and your phone was broken
for the last two hours, or
I had turned it off so I could focus.
Oh, focus. Okay.
I'm sure whatever you were doing,
you were on top of it.
[Sasha laughs]
That's brutal.
Noah, tell me you've come to your senses.
Of course you have. You know
I told you that this is just a phase.
All we want to hear is
that your heart is open to a reunion. Huh?
Tonight, let's focus our energy
on Rebecca getting better.
- Give thanks for that.
- Amen.
Bullshit. He's changing the subject.
You're old enough to be grandparents.
What the hell are you waiting for?
Oh, he's not waiting.
He got himself a shiksa.
Damn it, Esther.
- You're cheating on my daughter?
- No, nobody's cheating.
- Did you know?
- A shiksa? Absolutely not.
- I'm shocked.
- I gotta go.
[Yulia] No, you're not. You knew. You had
to know. You just didn't want me to know.
- Honey. Honey.
- [all clamoring]
- [Yulia] I'd never speak to you again.
- Honey, don't
I would have been great
in medical school too.
What?
I would've done great in medical school.
I didn't fill out the forms, but
I'm just having trouble computing
how you go from a kiss that passionate
and then you just don't respond
for over three hours.
Maybe his side of the kiss
was not the same mouth experience
as your side of the kiss.
- Trust me. That's not the case.
- [Morgan] Okay.
- It does feel weird
- [phone chimes]
- Wait.
- [Morgan] I agree. It's weird.
Is that him?
No, it's my pharmacy
telling me to pick up my Xanax.
- Well, you better go get it.
- You think I sound crazy?
- [Morgan] No!
- Oh, crazy? No. No.
- I'm just joking.
- We're all a little crazy. Come here.
[chuckles] My little angel.
That's nice.
- What was the last thing you texted him?
- Oh, I sent Well, just read it.
Okay.
I think I nailed it.
Mm-hmm. I'm sure you did.
I'm sorry. "I think I might be pregnant"?
Don't just read that part.
You have to read the first text.
Okay. "That was a great kiss."
Yeah, it's a joke. "That was a great kiss.
I think I might be pregnant." It's funny.
- Ooh.
- I don't get it.
Listen. Okay, guys
do not like pregnancy jokes.
He's confused. He's a rabbi.
He has a different brain than you.
Come on, you have to admit
you guys are a weird pair, no?
- Why?
- Why what?
Why are we a weird pair?
Just because he's a rabbi?
No, I'm just saying,
you know, like, when I met him,
he seemed very responsible
and, like, kind.
And you
Have edge, dear.
I'm not a bad person.
We're not saying that you are.
We're just saying
that you're, like, sort of a bad person
relative to a man of God.
[Lynn] Yeah.
I could see you with a cult leader.
That I could see.
[gentle music playing]
- Noah.
- Huh?
- Noah!
- What? What?
What do you What? What do you wanna say?
So so many things.
Uh, the woman in there, the goddess
who's always been too good for you,
she is currently fighting for her life.
My dad just said she's gonna be fine.
- Your dad doesn't know shit.
- Actually, he was almost a doctor.
Yeah, and I almost fucked
Adam Levine in 2003,
but you don't see me flying high
on the Maroon 5 jet, do ya?
Was it worth it?
Was what worth it?
Your little blonde friend who can't stop
talking about ass play on her podcast.
You were just talking about
fucking Adam Levine.
- Almost
- You fucked Adam Levine?
Almost fucked Adam Levine.
And honestly, at least he's Jewish.
I know my man's Jewish.
When did you almost fuck Adam Levine?
[Esther] In Cabo, baby. You know this.
We are not done here, Noah.
What are we even doing?
Yeah, what are we doing? I'm lost.
I'll tell you what he's doing.
He's throwing away a relationship
with literally the perfect woman.
Okay, okay.
Listen. She's not dying.
You can still be friends with her.
Yeah, you can still be friends with her.
But you're not just breaking up with her.
You're breaking up the whole family.
Strong Jewish guilt you're giving.
Yeah. I feel like you could use a little.
[sighs]
She still loves you.
[gentle music playing]
Breaking up the family?
What the fuck? I'm sorry, man.
Honey, Adam Levine?
Was that so hard to believe?
[Sasha] I don't know.
You just seem, like, aggressive.
He seems like
More like a gentle type, I guess.
[gentle music continues]
I mean, it's pretty late.
Maybe he just hasn't seen it yet.
I sent it 15 minutes
after we left each other.
You think he's just, like, at home
and, you know, brushing his teeth,
getting ready for bed,
setting his alarm from his phone,
and then didn't check his texts?
No. No, he's seen it for sure.
God! Why do I always have to make a joke?
Most girls would be like, "That was
a lovely night. I had a great time."
But most girls are boring.
Guys seem to like that.
But, like, who cares
what they like, right?
Yes! Yes!
Who cares?
I certainly don't.
I'm not spiraling.
It I mean, I stand by the fact
that it was a joke
because it was, and it was funny,
and I kissed him very well.
I'm sure.
So I'm not worried about that at all
because I know I'm a great kisser,
and I'm good. I'm totally good.
- Great.
- [Joanne] I am great, actually.
- Yes. Okay. Great.
- [Morgan] Great. Okay.
- [Joanne] Hoo!
- [door opens]
- My God. She's in a complete spiral.
- [door closes]
The whole world is weighing you down ♪
Cult leader.
Those guys are superhot, so
[phone chimes]
Yes, I knew it.
Oh, fucking Kyle.
No, thanks.
Actually Wait.
[line ringing]
- [phone rings]
- [video game playing]
Oh! That was fast.
- Hey, I have a question for you.
- Yes, you can come over.
I'm not interested in your booty calls
anymore. I have a serious question.
Do you think I'm a good person?
- Like, first thing that comes to mind.
- No.
Well, think about it for a second.
I mean, really give it some time.
Let it marinate.
When I think of Joanne,
I think of someone who is
goo
Oh, okay. I see what you're doing.
You're calling the worst person you know
because only someone
as shitty as me would think
that somebody as shitty as you
isn't really that bad, huh?
No, I'm not Oh shit!
[Kyle] Nailed it.
God, I love this.
Getting honest with each other, you know?
- Wait. What? No. Ho-hold on, hold on.
- [unbuckles seat belt]
Can I tell you something personal?
I'm so rock hard right now, it hurts.
- Hi, little buddy.
- [dog whimpers]
Where's your mom and dad?
Okay. Yeah, I could be into this.
- Um [clears throat]
- [dog barks]
[in baby voice] Mommy and Daddy are
in Phoenix right now
where they have a time-share.
Ew! Kyle, can you not?
What? You started this, Joanne. Fuck. I
You know what, Kyle? I just remembered.
I actually don't care what you think.
- Buddy! Doggy!
- [snarls softly]
[makes kissing sounds] Come here, dog!
- Where Oh, hi.
- [dog whimpering]
What do you want? What do I have?
[yelps softly]
I have half a cracker,
um, a mint, and a hair tie.
- Want any of these? Come here.
- [whimpering]
Hey.
Hi.
Hi.
[gentle music playing]
Come here.
You know what?
This is my favorite sweatshirt,
and they discontinued it,
but I'm gonna ruin it for ya.
Whoo. Okay. Hi.
[sighs] Oh.
- It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
- [dog whines]
Oh, dog.
Can I ask you a question?
Having known me for the last 30 seconds,
do you think I'm good enough
to be with someone who's, like,
really good?
Like, extremely good?
[whines]
Okay. I'm gonna take that as a yes.
[chuckles]
Well, that's kind of fun. Okay, um
Should I get bangs?
Okay. No bangs.
All right.
[gentle music continues]
Oh my God. With all the tourists
and the screaming and the kvetching,
it's hard to think straight in there.
Yeah.
Most of that noise
is just people yelling at me.
Oh, come on.
I've been sitting here
thinking, I wonder if I am the reason
that Rebecca got into an accident.
Oh, stop that.
How selfish is it
to want someone new and exciting,
no matter how long it would last,
no matter who it hurts?
Just been wondering
if I'm a terrible person.
You, a terrible person?
Come on. Not a chance.
Be honest.
Do you think I'm making a mistake
ending things with Rebecca?
- You're asking me?
- I'm asking.
Noah, I think Rebecca is a wonderful girl.
She's terrific.
I think with a girl like this on your arm,
you'll have a beautiful life.
On the other hand, Noah,
you're gonna be the one
who'll have to live with the regret
or the joy of this decision.
Only you. Not Esther.
Not your mother. Certainly not me.
I have my wife for many years.
I'm very happy.
If you tell her that I said any of this,
I'll deny it
because she'll come to kill me.
Are we doing big hugs?
Yeah, let me get in on that.
Oh, yeah. [grunts]
[gentle music playing]
[dog whines]
Noah?
Hey. Did you get a dog?
What are you doing here?
Well, uh
I had a rough night.
Tell you about it later.
But I just found myself driving over here
on the off chance I'd get to see you.
Then I thought maybe it's a bit much
to ring your doorbell at 2:00 a.m.
So I was trying to decide if I should
just leave and never admit I came here.
Did you get my texts?
'Cause when you didn't text back,
I kind of got in my head about it.
[Noah] You're pregnant.
Congratulations. That's amazing.
I knew I was a good kisser, but this
I mean, this has never happened to me.
[laughs] See? I knew it was funny,
and I knew you'd get it.
Why didn't you text back?
I didn't get the text till 20 minutes ago.
I left the phone in my car.
Sorry about that.
So, uh,
who's this handsome gentleman
or gentlelady
that, uh, you're coming home with so late?
Just some cutie I picked up.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Should I be jealous?
I mean,
this thick boy did stare deeply
into my eyes the entire way home,
and I felt very seen, so maybe.
Okay. I am, then.
- Where'd you find him?
- On the street.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
My friend runs a rescue place, so I'm
gonna bring him there in the morning.
Well, you saved a dog tonight.
You did a mitzvah.
It's a good deed.
Oh. Yeah, I did a mitzvah.
Yeah.
- May I? You have a
- What?
twig in your hair.
- [Joanne] Oh God.
- You have a lot in your hair.
- [Joanne] What?
- Well, leaves and just foliage.
[Joanne chuckles]
I'm glad to see you.
Glad to see you too.
