Hey gorgeous babes! We thought it would be fun & festive to revisit our original recaps of holiday episodes this month. So for the next two Fridays we'll bump those up to the top of the pile. Then on the third Friday?? A little something extra for ya! This recap of 109: The 23rd features the one & only Zooey Deschanel and was recorded during our 'Welcome To Our Show' era. Quite the throwback!

Attention all Jar Men and Smushers: arachnophobia is no laughing matter. Except - well - see, there's a real classic mess around in this podcast episode that makes even the arachnophobe writing this paragraph cackle. Also arachnophobia is a laughing matter when it involves Schmidt, of course. So the original statement is true, but there are loopholes. Such is life! God this is such a good episode (New Girl 417 AND the pod)...

The entire New Girl gang goes to Oregon for Jess's Dad's wedding, etc etc etc yes we DO talk about that but ALSO more importantly we learn that people who live in Portland "don't use umbrellas" ??? Hardy folks out there. Only need a good, sensible rain coat and a dream. Speaking of dreams, we also talk about Jake Apex, Jordan Catalano and Jamie Lee Curtis!

If you're wondering if Lamorne is still sick, YES. And now also Hannah. So, they're both a little bit loopy!! But as a wise man once said, The Crawl is for all. The sniffly-nosed, the brain-fogged and sneezy schnozzed; the puffy-peepered and sleepy keisters. And this is an iconic episode, so there is much to talk about!

We're BACK! YAY! With a Christmas episode?!? Why not! In this New Girliest of plots, the whole gang heads to the airport together because everyone has flights on the same day (which is totally normal of course). Jess gets nervous about Ryan's rich English family. Winston drops classic quotes on 'em. Pervert Santa is there. And so is Billy Eichner!

Loft meeting! Loft meeting, Babes. We've got the Max Winkler in the house. When he was just starting, he met a comedy wunderkind, Jake Johnson. The two formed a powerful friendship, eventually leading them to Elizabeth Merriwether. The rest, as they say, is history. Max would go on to direct Cooler, where Nick and Jess kiss for the first time. He also directed Tinfinity, a special episode in Hannah's heart.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
