Speaker 1 (00:18):
Folks, we got a very exciting episode for you. So
literally riding in from season two, see what I did there,
Nick and Jess drive all the way down to Mexico
in an attempt to escape from Winston and Schmidt for
some alone time. Meanwhile, Schmidt can't find it in him
to break up with CC or Elizabeth, so he lies
(00:41):
and tries juggling two relationships. Oh, Schmidt, We've all been there.
Winston begins puzzling, and we quickly find out something ain't right.
Nick gets arrested and sent to resort jail. Try that again.
Nick gets arrested and sent to resort jail, forcing Jess, Winston,
and Schmidt to come together to bail him out.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He'll be right now, and we are by.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This kickoff episode was directed by Winkler and written by
the Elizabeth Meriweather and one of my favorite people, Camilla Blackett.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh yeah, I just ran into Camilla and yeah, yeah,
she's doing well. She came to see they had they
had like a screening of my movie. It's been kind
of buzzing around the town right now, and she and
she came to check it out and the new movie
Saturday night, and she saw it and she loved it.
Apparently Liz Meriweather has not seen it. Yeah, well, oh yeah, yeah,
(01:56):
oh yeah, I believe. So it's a fun movie. It's
a really fun movie.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Are you gonna do a friends and family screening?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I want to. I want to, uh, you know, rent
out one of those like amc M, like like the
smaller rooms or whatever, and then get get the squad together,
maybe like add like a couple of fans in there,
like or we can raffle away.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So new Yeah, well you know where your ultimate fans.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Live, Texas.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
They live in the listenership of this podcast. Oh so
stay tuned for that. That'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That happens.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
All right, let's dive all the way into this episode
because I remember this episode so clearly. Oh yeah, just
because of the location. But we'll get to that all right.
I love how they started, by the way, because they
started with a recap. Did that play in on yours too?
I love that because that's not just like a you know,
(02:54):
like a kickover that happens now when you watch TV
like previously on like that was like I think scripted
and written. So it's awesome because who would remember because
these things were airing week to week and then you
would be off for five six months in the summer.
I was like, this is a very helpful thing.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, recap is very necessary, especially when the whole summer
goes by and you're like, oh, I remember that show.
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, but they didn't used to do that in sitcoms
to be like just to catch you up.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I was like, you know, i'll tell you when they
did it. I'll tell you when they did it. They
did it a lot on like when it was those
like very special glassiass those very special episodes of a
show like Little Timmy finds out he's got AIDS, and
then they come back and they go, you know, last
time on such and such, it's like you found out
(03:45):
Little Timmy and aids, and then it's like an episode
about like health awareness, you know what I mean. In
the eighties and nineties, after school special style you know
what I mean. I think they so they know.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Their audience was the after school special kits for new
girls like let us give you a recap, we know
you need the help. Here's what context, here's the context.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yep. But yeah, they used to do that a lot.
You're right, that was a really cool device that they
used for this one.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, I thought it was super helpful. Now I think
it's silly because now when you watch streaming, you know
you're binge watching, so you're going episode to episode, and
when they're like last week, I'm like last week, last
four seconds ago, move, skip it, let's go. I don't
need it. But this was a show A New Girl
aired week to week and then took a summer hiatus
and then you hoped you got picked up, and we did.
(04:34):
We came back for season three. Anyway, I found it
very helpful to remember everything. And I also remember that
a lot of people found season three a little problematic
because Schmidt was really so beloved, right, so beloved, and
his relationship on and off, and the ins and out
(04:57):
of the relationship with CC, even though it was complicated,
it was always like above board. And then on this one, yeah,
it's like he's a little the choices make him, for
the first time ever, like a little unlikable. And I
feel like a lot of fans really struggled with that,
(05:19):
And if it was anybody but Max, I feel like
it actually could have made our show turn a little corner.
But somehow, I don't know he's just got that magic
where he kind of got away with what's a pretty
tough storyline in a comedy.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I think, you know, I I problematic. I can
totally understand. I think back in those days, we weren't
identifying those things in real time the way our brains are,
the way our brains are conditioned now to identify these
things in real time. You know. I think when you
go back and you watch it, then the fans watch it,
(05:57):
then they talk to each other and they go, yeah,
what the hell, Like this dude is a you know,
he's different, he's shifted, and it can throw people off.
But in real time back then, like like if you've
made that now, I think the writers in the room
with Clockett.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I mean I felt it. I remember being like, wait
a second. I remember reading the script and being like
we're just like sitting there being like, did you choose me?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did you choose me?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And I was like, that's crazy. Tell me one woman.
You know that'd be like did you pick me?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well? Hold on now, They're.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like, don't count it out, mind you. That is the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's the whole show of the Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You'll stand here, you give me a little flower and
pick me. That's basically what happened. I was like, man,
that's great. Okay, we gotta go. We gotta break this
down because there's so much that happens in this episode
that gets us into what it turns out to be
a pretty wild, awesome season of New Girl. So let's go.
So Jess and Nick are in the car. They're driving,
and they say they're all in title of the episode,
(06:57):
and the whole episode stays on that theme. They are
all in and true to a new exciting relationship. They
pull over immediately.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hmmm, and they do it in the car to each other.
I think that's what they did, John, I think that's
what they did. They were fully dressed post.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I was gonna say post coital too, because he says
the craziest post coital thing I think I've ever heard
that would give me immediate ick, where he's like, I'm
fighting the urge to buy you a lobster dinner.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean, that's why we different, Because if I was
gonna make in love to a lovely young lady and
she said to me, I'm in the urge to make
you elapse at dinner, and I'd like, bitch, why are
you still standing here. I wouldn't say the bitch part.
I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, that might. That might change the vibe real quick.
She got the ick now, I know, what'd you call me? Bob?
Taking me my lobster going home?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love that this.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They did this like little device to in this episode
where they're like at the door right immediately one minute
and they're at the door of their back at the
loft and they're like nah, you know, like the end
of Coming to America where they're like, nah, that's one
of my favorite parts. And then they just like boot
it and then they do this thing. I don't know
if you remember in your you know, twenties, when you're
(08:16):
feeling like, let's like run away and escape this life.
We should just like drive to Mexico. I remember saying that,
right road trips, you're like, let's pj Ito.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But let's get this city bus and drop off on
Fairfax and then take that train down the well.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I could relate to it. I remember dating someone and
being like, we should just run away to Mexico. And
so it's so funny to think that Liz and Camilla
obviously were like you do you say these wild things.
And I thought it's such a great episode because you
get to see how highly impractical it is. Yeah, you
don't have to just run, you don't have any money,
you're in a foreign country. What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's that in the moment that there, in the moment
they get there, he hain't got no sleeves.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, there all of a sudden shipwrecked, Like I think
you drove a car. Why do you look like you
fell off the back of a pirate ship? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I know Nick ain't doing that great as a
bar turnder, but he still has a job and just
still has a job, you know, like, don't they have money?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But it's the romantic notion of it, which I think
is really really sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Right, pull over out a beach in Tijuana, let's just
pull over.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They're just like, fine, let's see what it really is.
And you're just like, oh, this looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Okay. So so now they have this idea. Now they
have this idea that they're gonna they're gonna lay around,
They're gonna they're gonna sit on the beach, they're gonna
live off the land. And Nick wants to he wants
to like plant his roots there in that moment. But
they're at this resort and they don't have a wristband.
So here comes the issue of the episode there. They
(10:01):
don't want to live out the back of a van,
so they want to go and live in this resort,
but they don't have rispairds. If you've ever been to
one of these places, they are so amle about their wristbands,
I mean aggressively angle about their wristband. I'll tell you.
I'll tell you a quick little story. I was in
Jamaica and there are three towers, right, and each tower
has its own beach front and their own pools and
(10:22):
their own whatever. If you're staying in the big, big tower,
then you have access just to your beach, the medium
tower just to your beach. The small tower, you can
go to all of the beaches. Oh you can go.
You can have yeah, full access to everyone's gyms, everyone's
(10:43):
whatever the case may be. I remember meeting this girl
out like out somewhere, and then she was staying she
was staying at one of the bigger towers or whatever.
So I was like, oh, let's just go, Let's just
go to your place, Like, oh, my roommate is is
in my room. I was like, oh, well, I don't
(11:04):
have anybody in my room. Let's let's walk to my room.
We started walking to my room and the security guy
was like, he's like, he's like, mom, if I see slip,
she was like she showed it to me, was like,
ye can't come in here. You can't come in here.
And I was and I showed him mine. I was like, oh,
we're good. I have this one. She's a guest of mine.
He's like, no guests. You can't have no guests.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
She has to have like a sandals resort, a family
resort where they were like, listen, no funny bet.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was at a place called I Be a Star,
I bere a Star. It's a really nice place. But
they were like, nope, no funny business going. And so
I went to Jamaica and got no funny business.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No. So funny to me, Yeah, so blocked by a wristband?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, And what was funny is Nick's negotiation with the
little kid days like, how about I just strangle?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Honestly, I was thinking about it, like the first half
of what Nick says where he's talking to that little boy.
I'd forgotten all about that scene, right, and it was
shot at the beach, like at Marina Delray. I remember
that because it was like we're back, We're back after
a long summer break. I was like, all of us
are gonna be reunited. And I was like getting ready
to go like kick it at the you know, at
the loft, to walk around the lot, and they're like
(12:25):
they said the first call sheet and it was like
Marina Delray. I was like, are you anybody who lives
in La you know? That's like you're I might as
well just drive to New York, Like it's cross country.
What are we doing here? All the way out to
Marina del Rey. So they're shot it there. But the
way he gives the that speech initially of like, man,
one day you're gonna meet a girl. You're really gonna
(12:47):
like her. I was like it was so sweet. But
then you remember the children don't care whatsoever about your lame,
weak grown man crush. Yes, that's not happening, and so
that he just falls out just then he was like, well,
(13:08):
I'm gonna know threaten you. And it was so funny.
That kid was amazing that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh yeah, and shout out to was it is it? Manny?
Did he play was it. I think it was Manny. No,
was it was it Manny who the officer who was
the security guard? I think it was.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Manny security guard.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, I think it was. It was Manny. He his
name is hemke Hemkey Madera, the guy who plays him,
and I know him. I know him and uh and
I just was that dude is such a dope actor,
such a funny character. Uh. I don't know, Like when
whenever I watched that episode, I'm like, dude, this dude,
he should get his own Uh, he should, he should
(13:49):
like recur on this. He was one of those characters
that I felt like would recur on the episode on
the show like you Don't to be Outside Day and
all these different characters. He just feels like he was
pop up randomly as a security guard even where they are,
like it does not in Mexico, like in La or
something like that. I followed you, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
We got to take a break and switch back to
the loft because this is honestly where I feel like
it's this weird, this weird thing and New Girl where
it's like they took all of our real life personalities
put them in a big bowl and then they would
just like Lucky, dip things out and then just attach
(14:31):
it to a character. And so many of the things
about me personally in real life somehow got stuck on
the Winston character, like.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You, I am really what are you hinting at?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Biggest puzzler in the world?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Really do you know that?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Honest to good? Yes, I do puzzles. I probably this
is not a joke. I probably do two or three
puzzles a week. What I well, I actually had to
cut it back because it's a very expensive hobby. Like,
puzzles are super expensive, and I would just blow through them,
(15:12):
and I don't do a puzzle twice, so once I'm done,
I'm done. And so like we just had to donate
it so many puzzles because I have like hundreds of them.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Are you are you? Are you sharing in this experience
with your family? Are you doing them by yourself?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
By myself? Don't come near my puzzles. And that's the
funniest part about it is that this is the character
trait I forgot about that. I like, again, I don't
rewatch the show unless we do it for our podcast.
And so I was watching where He's like, here's the rules,
and I was like, oh no, it's me and I honestly,
Liz and I, you know, are are good friends, and
I you know, told her all sorts of weird things
(15:48):
about myself over our friendship, especially when we were on
set all the time. And I'm like, did she take
my crazy obsession with puzzles and was like I have
to use this somewhere but gave it its waste?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Wait did she know of that? You don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Maybe I can't remember because it was so long ago,
but I mean it's I've had it my whole life.
I love puzzles so deeply. And I watched the episode
last night and I was like, this is like not
a funny broad character trait to me whatsoever. It's my
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That is your real life. That is sad, you know.
I think for all the listeners out there, we now
know the real Hannah, and she's.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You know what's really crazy. I literally this week, Okay,
I'm going to send a picture to the to the
producer so they can put a picture up of it.
So literally this week. A last Christmas, someone gave me
a puzzle. This is not a plug, this is just
like real called a liberty puzzle. And I was like
freedom never did it and then very American and I
(16:51):
cracked it open two nights ago, and every piece it's
called it was called night in La or La by
Night or something. Every piece is cut into the shape
of the actual like like something in La or like
ships or something so not normal puzzle pieces. And I
(17:12):
somehow since Christmas lost the picture. It was the hardest
puzzle I've ever done. And I got so obsessed with
it that for two days, like I didn't really talk
to anybody, and I got so deep in this Liberty puzzle.
And now I'm obsessed and have to buy all of them.
And so that's my new puzzle obsession. Anyway, you're looking
to give a gift for me for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Last time I got deep in anything named liberty.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Okay, it was a jama anyway, So I watched this,
but I was like I would have been this is
like those weird crossover moments. That was a big crossover moment.
And then also the moment in the loft where CC
comes in and goes to h she can smell on
(17:55):
Winston that he's lying, and there was just this weird,
sweet conversation that was so funny between CEC and Winston
that I feel like was very close to our real
relationship because yeah, Winston and I was just like, I
for sure been like, lo, morn no, we're not saying
(18:16):
that or doing that. And I was like the tone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Was right, Yeah, let's let let's h So. So for
the folks out there just catching up, this is the
first time we reintroduced this, this puzzle obsession with Winston.
This is the first time we've introduced it. Correct. I
hate puzzles with a passion kind of you love puzzles.
Same Not this episode, but the next episode we we're
(18:41):
gonna we're gonna dive into another first of something that
I hate and you love. But we'll cross that bridge
when we get there. But I thought it was interesting
because in this moment, in this moment, we see and
then we'll and then we'll get back to I'm sorry
the argument between CC in Winston, but I wanted to
talk about the song Winston is about to do some puzzling.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
M h.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Do you I wonder how I asked this question? Do
you know how do you know which song I'm referring to,
in which which what melody? I think that's the word
I'm using it's it's R Kelly. I forget the song,
(19:28):
but this, Oh yeah, so it was R Kelly. I
wish I could you know in hindsight, you know what
I mean? Take that back?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Well, that's like there's another R Kelly they sing, right, Yeah,
there's a lot of R Kelly. Then all over three oh.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
One, yes, yes, good old Robert, Hey, Robert, how you
doing anyway? He's a long time listener of the mess
Around podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
God no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
But then let's go back. Okay, So so Schmidt, So
Schmid's gotta choose between the both of you, Hannah or
CC and an Elizabeth, and he pulls a he pulls
his player card, and he decides to choose both.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
He just can't, right, That's the problem is that he's
I'm watching I'm behind, but I am watching, uh Love
Island right now. I Love Love Island, And it's it
just seems I just I was thinking about it when
I was watching the episode last night, because it seems
to be this thing of these these men who are
just like looking at two very beautiful and very different
(20:35):
women and just going like, ah, yeah, both roads seem great,
and they can't and they can't really shut the door, right,
they can't just not capable because you can handle it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's why I you know, I'm not a what do
you call it polygamist, but I don't judge people who
are because I'm like, I get it. You know, it's hard.
Everybody has different qualities, people have different traits, different things
that can you know, that can complete your puzzle.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And yeah, but here's the thing. If you've ever been
in a relationship for more than a few months, you
realize the nature of your relationship evolves and changes, and
there's a lot more work and growth that you usually
have to do to bring two lives together. And then
the ica of doing that with multiple people is it okay?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, because if you let's say you're in a thrupple
and you have one lovely uh partner and then another
lovely partner who each have different qualities. How, here's the thing,
because it's because you evolve and you have to learn
and work towards things, they can help You can help
each other because person A is going to be also
(21:50):
coexisting with person C and and they're going to be
the two ladies are going to be teaching each other
about life. And then you sitting there eating grapes, watching
them teach each other about life.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You know what I mean, Like, I so desperately now
want you to be in a throttle and I want
to know the real experience when you just have like
two women very mad at you a lot at the time.
Some people are built for it, they can handle it.
They could choose the right people. I feel like with
you you would just be like, I don't know what
everything I'm doing wrong. They've ganged up on me how
(22:28):
I was supposed to be. I don't think it's for you.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
But shockingly Schmidt seems to be pulling it off quite well.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, because you're.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Keeping them separate. Nobody knows the game yet. I will
say Winston was like, man, no, yeah, this is not
the thing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Wise, you know, he's a wise old sage and and
I think it's important to listen to him. Sometimes it's
step when he's like topless about to do something weird
to a puzzle. Don't listen to him in those moments,
because that's that's a creep. But besides that, he's a
very wise old man.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The fact that the way that you tried to sell
the lie that you had done Elizabeth two and a
half times.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's right, the half. I could tell you what that
half is. You do it twice and you're like excited.
The third time they're like can you go again? And
you're like, yeah, sure because you want to be embarrassed,
and then halfway through your body's like no, your partner,
your your your fellow passenger is like, I'm going to bed.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Can we not just say we did? You know what
it is?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You have fun?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I rebby feet, come on, yes, so where are we now?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
That's when? Oh and then the creepiest thing I honestly think,
I mean, there's so many weird, creepy, funny things that
are said in New Girl. This I think takes the cake.
We'll see as we continue to like, you know, rewatch,
But the fact.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That what.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Says that he needed cees these panties just so into
his underwear was honestly.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I was like, who who who wrote Who wrote it?
Because whoever wrote it looking at you New Girl Rider's Room,
whoever it is, you need to go talk to somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's what we used to say about Camilla. She used
to always talk about text her.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
She used to always say, oh, I've got my my
panties in a pair of boxes in a bunch.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
My pants my pants.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah I got that accent quite well.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Since my pants. So in your pants into my pants
and now I've got double pants. See actually sounds better
in British versus like us your panties up into my underwear.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And if you're talking like a street urgent, sure like street.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Thinking about Deliverance remember that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh yeah, love Deliverance. Okay, So Schmidt is so one.
He comes to the loft, You come to the loft,
he lies you now think you now say the creepiest planet. Yes,
you think. Winston is quite the nasty, nasty individual. He's
(25:29):
so nasty, very nasty.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You know what's really funny is that when you say it,
that reaction, you know, when you know, like you kind
of slip a little out of character a little bit.
That is just I know, my real face, because I
was just like, I can't believe they're gonna make me
stay here, just in real life and have this man
be like so, you know, panties into and I was
just like I remember throwing a look back, being like, guys,
(25:54):
this is so gross. She would be calling the police.
This is a sign of some and who's deranged.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, I feel like that's for some reason, I feel
like that's a form of assault. It still something weird.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
You're implying you're like a little past the point of
like a normal relationship with another human when I need
to abandize the sew into my bads. Real crapy cy.
But I did love that we got that little moment together,
and it's really fun and cute and hostile and strange,
and he's trying to be a really good friend and
(26:29):
trying to sort it out. I also love the fact
that we learned that you're just like garbage at puzzles,
which is so funny to have something you love so
deeply and are just not good at it. Is such
a fun character trait that they gave you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's not even that he's not good at it. He
is dog shit horrifying. There was an almond, there was
an amend he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Upside down still.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yes, oh my god. And then Winston gets a little
upset and chases Schmidt back into the now. People always
ask me, there's a moment where we're well, as Winston's
doing the puzzle, they're rounding off, they're having their little
we're going back a little bit. They're having their little
face off Schmidt and Winston.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh yeah, because the day we have to be best friends,
like they're gone.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, And as they're having their face off, there was
one moment that I get asked about a lot. So
here's the time to answer that question. People ask me
if I stubbed my toe for real?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
And then okay, wait, just before you say it, can
I say I watched it last night, okay, and I
rewound it three times, and I said, he really stubbed
his toe. He really hurt himself. I could tell because
I know you well enough, but that'll if I'm wrong.
But the way you did it, because you just went
(27:53):
and I saw your face just get up and you
get a little mad when you get hurt. So you
got a little mad and I could see that the anger.
But Max didn't stop, so you just kept going. And
then that was a take they used. That was my guess.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yes, that was it. That was the take. I would
have been to know it if they didn't, because it
really hurt.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, And I stated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
The character the whole time, which is shocking. I'll use
normally I would have been like, hold on, time out,
But yeah, because Max kept going. I kept going, and
so to all the fans out there, yes, I stubbed
my toe for real and fun fact, till this day,
it still.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Hurts get out.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
When I go and do And I didn't realize this
until maybe like last year. It's been hurting forever only
when I do certain exercises. So if I'm doing like
a reverse lunge where my foot ask Eddie, I don't
do reverse lunges anymore because when I put my foot back,
my toe is resting on the angle of something and this,
when you put weight on it like this, it feels
it hurts, like really bad. So when I'm in regular stuff, no,
(29:01):
but like when I'm doing those exercises or sometimes when
I play basketball for too long, I can feel it
and I'm like, when did that happen?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, you like roll the tape.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, Because a fan had asked me a while ago,
a fan had asked me. I mean, I get them
all the time, but they said, did you stub your
toe for real? And I was and I responded to them,
I said, yeah, that's that was real. And I thought
about it, like, was that when I hurt my toe?
Because it's still messed.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Up, get out of town. Huh, that's so funny. I
rerounded three times because I was just like, oh, I
can see in your eyes that like legit hurt, and
then you gat you got like a little mad. When
we do the mess around at the end of this episode.
M hm, I'm already embarrassed. I will share with you
(29:53):
my weirdest injury.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's st Let me come and we're back. But we're
not just back, Hannah. We're back at the beach.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Back at the beach. Marina del Ray actually next to
like a red lobster really could have followed through. They
would have had the built in location right there. I
don't know if it's still there.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That's probably that was probably an improvised moment. They probably
saw red lobster and let's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Add that glow of the red neon. They were like,
you know what works.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Chutdter biscuits, those cheddar Bay biscuits. I don't think there's
any better than that. So here they are back at
the beach, you know, debating whether they go home or
whether they stay there in paradise like living. I mean,
they look rough. They honestly look like.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
They look rough. They get in the resort. They have
that conversation with the kid, which is, yes, the way
Nick does it, Jake does it is so funny to me,
so desperate, And then he gets hauled off to jail
and she freaks out. Yes, she goes to get help.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yes, she leaves Marina del Rey in Mexico all the
way back to get to get the gang together. Yeah,
and this is when we start to realize a lot.
Once the gang gets back there, we realize Nick is
an idiot because he's trying to live off the land
in Mexico and he's trying to, you know, rip up
his passport and he's trying to do all those crazy things.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Well, yeah, it's funny. It's that all in thing, right,
which I again I can understand from like a really young,
naive sweet dating relationship. Right. They said they're all in.
They're not going to be roommates with living with two
other dudes. They're choosing each other, they're committing, they're going
to run away, they're going to start a new life.
And he's the dreamer, right, So he's just like stuck
(31:53):
on it and he's just like, look I'm here. By
the way, he was not in some like weird, crazy,
terrifying jail he was in just sitting in like the
you know, probably the general manager's office.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, watching Ugly Betty, you said.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Watching Ugly Betty, and then going like, I'm committing I'm
choosing you. I'm gonna shred this passport. We're not going back,
as we'll follow up. The fear is just like in
all relationships, there's usually an undercurrent of some whatever worry
and his big worries if we go back, we're never
gonna make it, like our relationship won't make it. So
(32:28):
we're choosing each other. We have to cut ties with
every other thing, and in true absolutely insane, over the
top fashion, he's like, I'm gonna shred my passports so
i cannot go home. I think one of the funniest
things that also happens is that we learned that Winston
(32:49):
is color blind. Yes, with the shoes, right, isn't it
with the shoes.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
He is He's he's wearing green shoes that he says,
these are my favorite brown shoes.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
But it must have been I feel like when they
were writing this over the summer must have been Remember
the dress is the dress whatever it was, it was like,
is the dress gold, yeah, white or gold or whatever
the two colors were, and it became this massive thing.
It was like on the news. People were being asked,
like really crazy over the top. I'm like, how privileged
(33:21):
are we that this is like what we're focusing on
in life anyway? And it's so funny because it obviously
then made its way onto the show, and I feel
like the only reason it wasn't just to give Winston
a weird another weird thing. I feel like the only
reason they did that was because they wanted the joke,
(33:43):
and the.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Joke was if you know what it is, say say
the white color do you think you are?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
That's it. I feel like that whole thing was just
to spet up to ask that question, which really made
me laugh.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I was like, you know what, I think it is pocket,
But you know what, I I wish I wish I
would have gone back. I didn't even think about that.
I think Max improvised that. No, I'm almost certain I
could be wrong, but I'm almost certain that there was.
It was a lot of back and forth. Now they
have the alt lines and things like that, and we
were going back and forth and Max just said it,
(34:23):
that's why my reaction, I'm kind of smiling. It's like
you can tell. You can tell there's like a smile
underneath my my job looking like I'm like what, yeah,
I could be.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, you know, I have the scripts, so I will
go back and look and see and then we'll post
it if it happened or not. Hutererical, Well, that derails
my whole theory that it was just like I'm jumping
on a cultural moment that's so funny, though, I could
see that because it's it was just really funny.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Well, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Two minutes, welcome back. So all right, ask me do it?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Hannah. I'm not sure if I want to ask bear?
Where is it? Did you find it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Here's what I'm going to say. Now listen, just we
are grown now, okay, so just listen. Thought about it
a lot. I believe that there is a bear of
(35:41):
some sort in every episode of New Girl. I do
believe it. I stand by it. I do believe it.
Sometimes it's a little more figurative smile right now. Sometimes
it's physical. Sometimes it's a metaphysical okay, but I do
believe that there is a bear. I also because I
(36:06):
am a grown up Santa and the Easter Bunny told
me directly that for season three of this show, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta let it go.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Oh no, oh oh no, are we dropping the bear?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I think, Look, there are so many fan theories about
so many things that I am happy to create a
new segment if the fans want, we can put this
on a poll of fan theories. We can go through
a fan theory, and we can talk about it a
little bit. This one I stand by. I do believe
that there's a bear. I don't know if I can
(36:55):
produce a physical bear though every single episode, And so
I think rip to the bear segment.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Not well, Hannah, okay, because you're saying goodbye, I was
gonna have I had a compromise. Oh, I had a compromise.
What Like you said, it sometimes could be physical metaphysical, Yeah,
it could be a theory of a bear. Sure, Now
(37:27):
what if? What if you could make a case each episode?
This is a new challenge even when there is no
direct bear in sight, which it rarely is. Out of
all the episodes, I think I could say it rarely.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Is no majority had them. But you just like rode
me so hard every single time, like I couldn't produce one.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
You're on crack, You're on cracked drugs.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
That's not the case.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I could. So how about this. The compromise is you
have to make a case every episode of a bear reference.
So whether Nick is shirt listening and say, oh, he
looks like a bear because he's bear.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Chested, or he high fived you with his bear hands.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
If you make the case, and I and you, and
you'll convince me and you'll win me over Hannah, I'll
buy you a lobster dinner every episode. Every episode, I'll
send a lobster to your house and make it.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Here's what I'll say. This is why I'll just say this,
and I will put it to rest. I truly believe
that the bear was important. I think it probably started
off with the joke of like Brett Bear, and then
it was like so many references in season one to
the Chicago Bears and how he says bear because he's
from Chicago, Bear, bear, Bear, and I think it was there,
and then they put the bear on the fridge, so
you already got two bears every single time you got it,
(38:45):
and writing with Brett Bear spelling, okay, fine, and then
you got the bear on the fridge always, and then
sometimes they would double triple down on it and then
give you a different kind of bear. So I just
feel like it's bears all around. I accept the bears.
I love the bears. I love the fans that have
this bear theory. I have the theory too, but I
know that it's taking up some time on this podcast
(39:08):
with us fighting. This is literally an hour and minute
seventeen of us talking about just trying to me kill
the bear. Like I feel like we just have to
be you know, like, what do you gonna agree to disagree?
And I just have to stand in my in my
and my strength. But I do feel like, here's what
I'll do at the end of season three. I will
do a standalone loft episode where I just go a
(39:32):
loft meeting where I go through every episode and I'll
highlight where those bears are. But we're pulling it out
of the recaps just because I can't take the fight anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Okay, all right, and deal, deal.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Deal, All right, there we go.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
And we let's die. Let's let's let's jump back into
the end of this episode really quick.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Before the end of.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
The episode, they're trying to leave and Nick accidentally drops
his which is so stupid. He had it in his
hand and all of a sudden it's in a shredder.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
It just gets shredded to pieces.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
What what I thought was was so funny on the
writer's part, I nay at Winston pick up the pieces,
the shreds, and go oh, I can work with this.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
By the way, that's how my brain works all the time.
All the time when I see like a shredder, I'm
always just like, that'd be the ultimate puzzle. I'm telling you,
this is stolen from my brain. I love that moment
so much. I forgot all about it, and I loved
it so much as a puzzler. I was like, this
is perfect. That's how our brains.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Let me tell you about privilege. Though, these assholes manage
to get back in the country.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
You're the one who greased the wheels for them to
do it, with you talking about your color blind disability.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, but he even had a comeback. He wasn't. He wasn't.
He looked at it like, Yo, this is crazy, this
isn't even a and you know, and somehow we still
manage to get that man into the United States. Yea
of America. Yep, nothing exactly. Now they get back to
the Now they get back to the apartment.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
There heard moment from the beginning of the episode.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Nick does something very special. He gives her the bracelet
from the resort he opens. He goes to open the door,
but it's locked, and then they get into an argument
about why he doesn't have a key, and then out
of nowhere, they just start making out aggressively. Yeah, right
in front of Winston and Schmidt. And it's a lot.
It's like, I'm not even I don't think we were
(41:42):
there on that day. I think it was probably a
special request from like for like Zoe, you'd be like, no,
I'm not about to watch a bunch of dudes watch
me make out. You know that's not gonna happen. So
I don't remember being there on that day. Yeah, because
they were never in the same shot. I think we were.
We shot that on two different two different times. Huh.
(42:04):
But but yeah, we get we we we we wrap
on that, and we also towards the tag is Winston's
at a table and he looks at a puzzle and
it's clearly I don't think any pieces are correct, not
one set of pieces are correct. He looks at it
and he's like, hmm, this is it. This is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I think I did it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah, I think you said this is great. It's masterpiece.
This is a masterpiece. And that concludes episode three oh one.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
All in such a great episode, such a good launch
into like a new season. You know, all these new dynamics,
like they set the stakes up I think really well
for an entire season.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. I've always told folks, you know,
season three is where I really start to feel like
I was comfortable on the show. Season three and on
I was like, Okay, now I'm in a I'm in
a pretty good groove here. As far as as far
as as I think, from season three on, my character
(43:15):
stays the same. He's crazy, he's weird, He's got these
weird traits and quirks where season one and two we
were kind of finding it a little bit like.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
I agree. I feel the same way too. I feel
like I found my lane a little bit more too,
also because they brought you and I together more like
that little dynamic scene where I come in and like
I'm annoyed at you when you're saying crazy stuff. You
start to see their relationship, which started to become integral
to the series as it went on, and I think
(43:44):
that was for me. It was like helpful too that
I wasn't just always caught in some sort of like
love triangle situation that now I just like had like
a guy friend who was like annoying, but like I
dug and that's what they kind of gave me with
like the C. C. Winston thing. So that was season
three two, which I loved.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
Oh yeah, and it's hard and I'm shocked that they
even we even continued our friendship knowing that Wuston was
wearing your panties.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That's true. But as we know, if you have your
platonic male friends, they will say and do things that
are out of pocket sometimes and you just go like,
that's how my brother is. That's just what it is.
He's so crazy and I.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Love him for it. Right, we'll be right back to
gay and here we are, Hannah, m hmm, it's time
for the mess around. Let's go, babe, Yeah, babe, any
(44:46):
wild Mexico stories or vacation stories.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
M any wild Mexico stories. I feel like you for
sure have one.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I got quite quite the array of.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Mexican I feel like, you know, like you know, people
like fan out an envelope and you get to like
pick one and you're.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Like, yes, I got a panick a lot. I can
tell you, well, I have a lot of Mexico stories,
and I'm trying to figure out which is the most
pg because some of them are just straight up not
(45:35):
like in a like a sick, like a nasty way,
just like gross, like I fun, fun, but also some
of them are rather gross, and I'm trying to figure
out which one's more interesting. So I'll just I'll just
start spewing one off right now. And one of them
is I ate. There was this restaurant at the at
(45:56):
this resort that we were staying at, and it was
this This resort is one of the it might be
the most beautiful place I'd stayed. It's called the Esperanza
l Esperanzo, I think that's what it's called in Cabo.
And there is a restaurant there that serves this fish.
It's a white fish, but it's very fatty and oily,
(46:19):
very very fatty and oily. And when I say it's
one of the best things I've ever eaten in my
entire life. That's that's the feeling when I was eating it,
when I was putting it inside of my body, but
when it decided it wanted to come out of my body.
It I okay, I'm trying not to gross everybody out
(46:42):
and lose the listeners, but just bear with me, you
know me. I go use the restroom and it's bright orange.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
I thought I was dying. I was like, what, there's
a white fish. But it was very oily, just like
and it was the oil from the fish. It was
that that it would just kept coming out.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
That's what happened, you know that right there?
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I didn't but no, but I didn't feel sick. It
was just what's that fish called? It was God, damn it.
I wish I could tell you the name of it.
But it's a white, oily fish. And it messed me up.
But it didn't feel bad. It just was like weird,
like a little fish.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
She just like swam right through you. And then I
was like I'm coming out and swimming around somewhere in
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
So I'm sorry. I'm sorry, listeners, that wasn't what you wanted.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
When it's not the wild story. This is about like
a couple that was romantic and like, drove to Mexico
and did something crazy to be there.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I didn't do nothing crazy. I got a ticket and
bought a flight, paid for a hotel room. Each time.
I'm not like these dumb dumbs, you know, I remember.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
I remember.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
I'll tell you a little bit of a Mexico thing.
And then I have to fulfill my promise, which I
was going to tell you my weirdest injury that still hurts.
I shouldn't say still hurts, but you can still see
the scar. I'll tell you my little Mexico story, which
was I remember dating somebody being like in a job
(48:23):
I didn't love. They were also in a job didn't love,
and I would talk a lot about like we should
just run away and run away to Mexico. I don't
know why. It was this big romantic thing. I wonder.
I talked to Liz about that too. We used to
chat a lot anyway. I remember being like, oh, I
want to run away to Mexico and just like uh,
and he was like me too, and we would talk
about the whole thing, and of course never happened. No,
(48:45):
r Who's because it's impractical, but he wrote a song
about it. He wrote a song about it, and like
it played like on the whatever. Like I heard it
and I was like, oh my god, we'd broken up,
no longer together. And I remember being like, this is
(49:06):
the whole conversation we had about running away to Mexico.
And and then he made yeah, he was like a
like an artist, and then he faced a song and
then it was just a weird moment about this totally
ludicrous conversation.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Oh, now, this is what this is when you dated
Kanye run away from the Baby run Away.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
No, that song is brutal. That song is a brutal song.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
Wait so you so, so do we talk about already?
Did you? Did you? Maybe I missed it? Who are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (49:45):
I'm not going to say who it is.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
But I just give a first name.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
No, I'm not going to say who it is, but
I do really, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. But
I it was such like a you know, it's like
just a weird moment, like this person wasn't like a
you know, a big artist or whatever at the time,
and then wrote this song and then this song came
out and I was just like and then now he's.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
A big artist.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
No no, but like an artist. And anyway, so here's
my weirdest injury and this.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Mm hm o boy.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
I don't know I've ever told this story, but it
just made me think about like you're you know, like
you're in the middle of a scene and then all
of a sudden, some weird office chair like catches your
toe and you're in pain, and you just keep going
with it. I was sitting on the couch and I
had a cat who I loved very much, very large
(50:39):
obese cat named Jake. Actually funny big obes's cat named Jake,
a big fat cat named Jake. And Jake was on
my lap, and I was with somebody who was sitting
next to me, and I was dating at the time,
and they were very comfortable in a relationship, and they
(51:02):
farted so loud. The guy was dating, and the cat
got startled and so dug their claw into my thigh
and jumped off and scooped out a chunk of my thigh.
(51:23):
That is how disturbing and loud that fart was. Took
me by surprise, and I looked down and my leg
was bleeding and a chunk of it is just out
scooped out like a little ice cream Scooper and I
have a scar on my leg and people have seen
it and they're just like, what's that scar? And I'm like,
it's a really hard he ate some oily fish and
(51:51):
now I know I'm scarred for life. Literally, come on,
that's a weird one. How do you explain that to people?
Speaker 1 (51:59):
That's aggressive?
Speaker 3 (52:00):
That it's aggressive?
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Did you break up with him immediately after?
Speaker 3 (52:07):
Anybody who's going back to our a threatle thing? Imagine
that just just like you know, a cacophony of farts
around you all the time. Like I feel like, when
you've been in a relationship long enough, you should be
comfortable to do whatever your human body needs to do.
No shame here whatsoever. But that one was at a
level that even like the wild life, you know, or
just like darting to the hills.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah, that that that don't sit right with me.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
It didn't right with anybody incutting the person obviously that was.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
Farting, and he just the fact but he you know,
that's saying a loud that he felt comfortable enough to
just blow your skull away, but also also to try
to like kill your cat in the process.
Speaker 3 (52:46):
I don't know. It was the craziest thing. And of
course there's such a dude just being like I looked over,
I'm bleeding and I'm like and they're like, what like
nothing like that for them. They were just like, oh, hold,
I like, I did you a favor. I didn't even
like let it all go?
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Was he smoking a vape in that moment? No?
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Why do vapes cause parts?
Speaker 1 (53:07):
No, I'm trying to figure out which X we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (53:11):
Going through the list. No, all right, that is true.
It's so funny that you like know my life previous.
All right. Well, the last question, of course, on the
mess around, which I don't even think we need to
answer because I talked about it. Basically, the entire thing is,
are you guys big puzzle be bump?
Speaker 1 (53:31):
I'm a yes, I'm a hard no hard.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I like to complete the puzzles of life, you know
what I mean. I like to go up to a stranger,
figure out what they're lacking, and I like to complete them.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Mm hmm, you're just full Jerry Maguire at this point.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Now, Well, I'm a I'm well, well, well I'm a chameleon,
you know, I'm a I'm a utility player. If there's
anything you need in your life, Daddy can fix it.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Why we like Hannah. Honestly, we'll talk why am I single?

the ladies' ears.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
They dumb. They dumb. That's not that's them, that's on them. No,
all right, if you love my sense of humor and
you find it slide in the Hannah's dms, she doesn't
check them.
Speaker 3 (54:37):

gotten so many awesome messages from people who listen to
this podcast, sharing so many amazing things in details. That

been an iHeartMedia production. Our executive producer is Joel Moniche.
Our engineer and editor is Mia Taylor. Additional production from
(55:50):
Daniel Goodman, Wendy Heisler, and Kyle Shevron. Our theme song
was written and composed by Ronald Jukebox Jackson. So we
gonna catch you next time, but
Folks, we got a very exciting episode for you. So
literally riding in from season two, see what I did there,
Nick and Jess drive all the way down to Mexico
in an attempt to escape from Winston and Schmidt for
some alone time. Meanwhile, Schmidt can't find it in him
to break up with CC or Elizabeth, so he lies
(00:41):
and tries juggling two relationships. Oh, Schmidt, We've all been there.
Winston begins puzzling, and we quickly find out something ain't right.
Nick gets arrested and sent to resort jail. Try that again.
Nick gets arrested and sent to resort jail, forcing Jess, Winston,
and Schmidt to come together to bail him out.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
He'll be right now, and we are by.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
This kickoff episode was directed by Winkler and written by
the Elizabeth Meriweather and one of my favorite people, Camilla Blackett.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh yeah, I just ran into Camilla and yeah, yeah,
she's doing well. She came to see they had they
had like a screening of my movie. It's been kind
of buzzing around the town right now, and she and
she came to check it out and the new movie
Saturday night, and she saw it and she loved it.
Apparently Liz Meriweather has not seen it. Yeah, well, oh yeah, yeah,
(01:56):
oh yeah, I believe. So it's a fun movie. It's
a really fun movie.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Are you gonna do a friends and family screening?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I want to. I want to, uh, you know, rent
out one of those like amc M, like like the
smaller rooms or whatever, and then get get the squad together,
maybe like add like a couple of fans in there,
like or we can raffle away.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So new Yeah, well you know where your ultimate fans.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Live, Texas.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
They live in the listenership of this podcast. Oh so
stay tuned for that. That'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That happens.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
All right, let's dive all the way into this episode
because I remember this episode so clearly. Oh yeah, just
because of the location. But we'll get to that all right.
I love how they started, by the way, because they
started with a recap. Did that play in on yours too?
I love that because that's not just like a you know,
(02:54):
like a kickover that happens now when you watch TV
like previously on like that was like I think scripted
and written. So it's awesome because who would remember because
these things were airing week to week and then you
would be off for five six months in the summer.
I was like, this is a very helpful thing.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, recap is very necessary, especially when the whole summer
goes by and you're like, oh, I remember that show.
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, but they didn't used to do that in sitcoms
to be like just to catch you up.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I was like, you know, i'll tell you when they
did it. I'll tell you when they did it. They
did it a lot on like when it was those
like very special glassiass those very special episodes of a
show like Little Timmy finds out he's got AIDS, and
then they come back and they go, you know, last
time on such and such, it's like you found out
(03:45):
Little Timmy and aids, and then it's like an episode
about like health awareness, you know what I mean. In
the eighties and nineties, after school special style you know
what I mean. I think they so they know.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Their audience was the after school special kits for new
girls like let us give you a recap, we know
you need the help. Here's what context, here's the context.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yep. But yeah, they used to do that a lot.
You're right, that was a really cool device that they
used for this one.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, I thought it was super helpful. Now I think
it's silly because now when you watch streaming, you know
you're binge watching, so you're going episode to episode, and
when they're like last week, I'm like last week, last
four seconds ago, move, skip it, let's go. I don't
need it. But this was a show A New Girl
aired week to week and then took a summer hiatus
and then you hoped you got picked up, and we did.
(04:34):
We came back for season three. Anyway, I found it
very helpful to remember everything. And I also remember that
a lot of people found season three a little problematic
because Schmidt was really so beloved, right, so beloved, and
his relationship on and off, and the ins and out
(04:57):
of the relationship with CC, even though it was complicated,
it was always like above board. And then on this one, yeah,
it's like he's a little the choices make him, for
the first time ever, like a little unlikable. And I
feel like a lot of fans really struggled with that,
(05:19):
And if it was anybody but Max, I feel like
it actually could have made our show turn a little corner.
But somehow, I don't know he's just got that magic
where he kind of got away with what's a pretty
tough storyline in a comedy.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I think, you know, I I problematic. I can
totally understand. I think back in those days, we weren't
identifying those things in real time the way our brains are,
the way our brains are conditioned now to identify these
things in real time. You know. I think when you
go back and you watch it, then the fans watch it,
(05:57):
then they talk to each other and they go, yeah,
what the hell, Like this dude is a you know,
he's different, he's shifted, and it can throw people off.
But in real time back then, like like if you've
made that now, I think the writers in the room
with Clockett.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I mean I felt it. I remember being like, wait
a second. I remember reading the script and being like
we're just like sitting there being like, did you choose me?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did you choose me?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
And I was like, that's crazy. Tell me one woman.
You know that'd be like did you pick me?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Well? Hold on now, They're.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Like, don't count it out, mind you. That is the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's the whole show of the Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You'll stand here, you give me a little flower and
pick me. That's basically what happened. I was like, man,
that's great. Okay, we gotta go. We gotta break this
down because there's so much that happens in this episode
that gets us into what it turns out to be
a pretty wild, awesome season of New Girl. So let's go.
So Jess and Nick are in the car. They're driving,
and they say they're all in title of the episode,
(06:57):
and the whole episode stays on that theme. They are
all in and true to a new exciting relationship. They
pull over immediately.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hmmm, and they do it in the car to each other.
I think that's what they did, John, I think that's
what they did. They were fully dressed post.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I was gonna say post coital too, because he says
the craziest post coital thing I think I've ever heard
that would give me immediate ick, where he's like, I'm
fighting the urge to buy you a lobster dinner.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I mean, that's why we different, Because if I was
gonna make in love to a lovely young lady and
she said to me, I'm in the urge to make
you elapse at dinner, and I'd like, bitch, why are
you still standing here. I wouldn't say the bitch part.
I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, that might. That might change the vibe real quick.
She got the ick now, I know, what'd you call me? Bob?
Taking me my lobster going home?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love that this.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
They did this like little device to in this episode
where they're like at the door right immediately one minute
and they're at the door of their back at the
loft and they're like nah, you know, like the end
of Coming to America where they're like, nah, that's one
of my favorite parts. And then they just like boot
it and then they do this thing. I don't know
if you remember in your you know, twenties, when you're
(08:16):
feeling like, let's like run away and escape this life.
We should just like drive to Mexico. I remember saying that,
right road trips, you're like, let's pj Ito.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But let's get this city bus and drop off on
Fairfax and then take that train down the well.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I could relate to it. I remember dating someone and
being like, we should just run away to Mexico. And
so it's so funny to think that Liz and Camilla
obviously were like you do you say these wild things.
And I thought it's such a great episode because you
get to see how highly impractical it is. Yeah, you
don't have to just run, you don't have any money,
you're in a foreign country. What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's that in the moment that there, in the moment
they get there, he hain't got no sleeves.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, there all of a sudden shipwrecked, Like I think
you drove a car. Why do you look like you
fell off the back of a pirate ship? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I know Nick ain't doing that great as a
bar turnder, but he still has a job and just
still has a job, you know, like, don't they have money?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
But it's the romantic notion of it, which I think
is really really sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Right, pull over out a beach in Tijuana, let's just
pull over.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
They're just like, fine, let's see what it really is.
And you're just like, oh, this looks terrible.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Okay. So so now they have this idea. Now they
have this idea that they're gonna they're gonna lay around,
They're gonna they're gonna sit on the beach, they're gonna
live off the land. And Nick wants to he wants
to like plant his roots there in that moment. But
they're at this resort and they don't have a wristband.
So here comes the issue of the episode there. They
(10:01):
don't want to live out the back of a van,
so they want to go and live in this resort,
but they don't have rispairds. If you've ever been to
one of these places, they are so amle about their wristbands,
I mean aggressively angle about their wristband. I'll tell you.
I'll tell you a quick little story. I was in
Jamaica and there are three towers, right, and each tower
has its own beach front and their own pools and
(10:22):
their own whatever. If you're staying in the big, big tower,
then you have access just to your beach, the medium
tower just to your beach. The small tower, you can
go to all of the beaches. Oh you can go.
You can have yeah, full access to everyone's gyms, everyone's
(10:43):
whatever the case may be. I remember meeting this girl
out like out somewhere, and then she was staying she
was staying at one of the bigger towers or whatever.
So I was like, oh, let's just go, Let's just
go to your place, Like, oh, my roommate is is
in my room. I was like, oh, well, I don't
(11:04):
have anybody in my room. Let's let's walk to my room.
We started walking to my room and the security guy
was like, he's like, he's like, mom, if I see slip,
she was like she showed it to me, was like,
ye can't come in here. You can't come in here.
And I was and I showed him mine. I was like, oh,
we're good. I have this one. She's a guest of mine.
He's like, no guests. You can't have no guests.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
She has to have like a sandals resort, a family
resort where they were like, listen, no funny bet.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was at a place called I Be a Star,
I bere a Star. It's a really nice place. But
they were like, nope, no funny business going. And so
I went to Jamaica and got no funny business.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
No. So funny to me, Yeah, so blocked by a wristband?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yes, And what was funny is Nick's negotiation with the
little kid days like, how about I just strangle?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Honestly, I was thinking about it, like the first half
of what Nick says where he's talking to that little boy.
I'd forgotten all about that scene, right, and it was
shot at the beach, like at Marina Delray. I remember
that because it was like we're back, We're back after
a long summer break. I was like, all of us
are gonna be reunited. And I was like getting ready
to go like kick it at the you know, at
the loft, to walk around the lot, and they're like
(12:25):
they said the first call sheet and it was like
Marina Delray. I was like, are you anybody who lives
in La you know? That's like you're I might as
well just drive to New York, Like it's cross country.
What are we doing here? All the way out to
Marina del Rey. So they're shot it there. But the
way he gives the that speech initially of like, man,
one day you're gonna meet a girl. You're really gonna
(12:47):
like her. I was like it was so sweet. But
then you remember the children don't care whatsoever about your lame,
weak grown man crush. Yes, that's not happening, and so
that he just falls out just then he was like, well,
(13:08):
I'm gonna know threaten you. And it was so funny.
That kid was amazing that.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh yeah, and shout out to was it is it? Manny?
Did he play was it. I think it was Manny. No,
was it was it Manny who the officer who was
the security guard? I think it was.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Manny security guard.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, I think it was. It was Manny. He his
name is hemke Hemkey Madera, the guy who plays him,
and I know him. I know him and uh and
I just was that dude is such a dope actor,
such a funny character. Uh. I don't know, Like when
whenever I watched that episode, I'm like, dude, this dude,
he should get his own Uh, he should, he should
(13:49):
like recur on this. He was one of those characters
that I felt like would recur on the episode on
the show like you Don't to be Outside Day and
all these different characters. He just feels like he was
pop up randomly as a security guard even where they are,
like it does not in Mexico, like in La or
something like that. I followed you, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
We got to take a break and switch back to
the loft because this is honestly where I feel like
it's this weird, this weird thing and New Girl where
it's like they took all of our real life personalities
put them in a big bowl and then they would
just like Lucky, dip things out and then just attach
(14:31):
it to a character. And so many of the things
about me personally in real life somehow got stuck on
the Winston character, like.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You, I am really what are you hinting at?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Biggest puzzler in the world?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Really do you know that?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Honest to good? Yes, I do puzzles. I probably this
is not a joke. I probably do two or three
puzzles a week. What I well, I actually had to
cut it back because it's a very expensive hobby. Like,
puzzles are super expensive, and I would just blow through them,
(15:12):
and I don't do a puzzle twice, so once I'm done,
I'm done. And so like we just had to donate
it so many puzzles because I have like hundreds of them.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Are you are you? Are you sharing in this experience
with your family? Are you doing them by yourself?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
By myself? Don't come near my puzzles. And that's the
funniest part about it is that this is the character
trait I forgot about that. I like, again, I don't
rewatch the show unless we do it for our podcast.
And so I was watching where He's like, here's the rules,
and I was like, oh no, it's me and I honestly,
Liz and I, you know, are are good friends, and
I you know, told her all sorts of weird things
(15:48):
about myself over our friendship, especially when we were on
set all the time. And I'm like, did she take
my crazy obsession with puzzles and was like I have
to use this somewhere but gave it its waste?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Wait did she know of that? You don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Maybe I can't remember because it was so long ago,
but I mean it's I've had it my whole life.
I love puzzles so deeply. And I watched the episode
last night and I was like, this is like not
a funny broad character trait to me whatsoever. It's my
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That is your real life. That is sad, you know.
I think for all the listeners out there, we now
know the real Hannah, and she's.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You know what's really crazy. I literally this week, Okay,
I'm going to send a picture to the to the
producer so they can put a picture up of it.
So literally this week. A last Christmas, someone gave me
a puzzle. This is not a plug, this is just
like real called a liberty puzzle. And I was like
freedom never did it and then very American and I
(16:51):
cracked it open two nights ago, and every piece it's
called it was called night in La or La by
Night or something. Every piece is cut into the shape
of the actual like like something in La or like
ships or something so not normal puzzle pieces. And I
(17:12):
somehow since Christmas lost the picture. It was the hardest
puzzle I've ever done. And I got so obsessed with
it that for two days, like I didn't really talk
to anybody, and I got so deep in this Liberty puzzle.
And now I'm obsessed and have to buy all of them.
And so that's my new puzzle obsession. Anyway, you're looking
to give a gift for me for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Last time I got deep in anything named liberty.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Okay, it was a jama anyway, So I watched this,
but I was like I would have been this is
like those weird crossover moments. That was a big crossover moment.
And then also the moment in the loft where CC
comes in and goes to h she can smell on
(17:55):
Winston that he's lying, and there was just this weird,
sweet conversation that was so funny between CEC and Winston
that I feel like was very close to our real
relationship because yeah, Winston and I was just like, I
for sure been like, lo, morn no, we're not saying
(18:16):
that or doing that. And I was like the tone.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Was right, Yeah, let's let let's h So. So for
the folks out there just catching up, this is the
first time we reintroduced this, this puzzle obsession with Winston.
This is the first time we've introduced it. Correct. I
hate puzzles with a passion kind of you love puzzles.
Same Not this episode, but the next episode we we're
(18:41):
gonna we're gonna dive into another first of something that
I hate and you love. But we'll cross that bridge
when we get there. But I thought it was interesting
because in this moment, in this moment, we see and
then we'll and then we'll get back to I'm sorry
the argument between CC in Winston, but I wanted to
talk about the song Winston is about to do some puzzling.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
M h.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Do you I wonder how I asked this question? Do
you know how do you know which song I'm referring to,
in which which what melody? I think that's the word
I'm using it's it's R Kelly. I forget the song,
(19:28):
but this, Oh yeah, so it was R Kelly. I
wish I could you know in hindsight, you know what
I mean? Take that back?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Well, that's like there's another R Kelly they sing, right, Yeah,
there's a lot of R Kelly. Then all over three oh.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
One, yes, yes, good old Robert, Hey, Robert, how you
doing anyway? He's a long time listener of the mess
Around podcast.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
God no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
But then let's go back. Okay, So so Schmidt, So
Schmid's gotta choose between the both of you, Hannah or
CC and an Elizabeth, and he pulls a he pulls
his player card, and he decides to choose both.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
He just can't, right, That's the problem is that he's
I'm watching I'm behind, but I am watching, uh Love
Island right now. I Love Love Island, And it's it
just seems I just I was thinking about it when
I was watching the episode last night, because it seems
to be this thing of these these men who are
just like looking at two very beautiful and very different
(20:35):
women and just going like, ah, yeah, both roads seem great,
and they can't and they can't really shut the door, right,
they can't just not capable because you can handle it.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
That's why I you know, I'm not a what do
you call it polygamist, but I don't judge people who
are because I'm like, I get it. You know, it's hard.
Everybody has different qualities, people have different traits, different things
that can you know, that can complete your puzzle.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And yeah, but here's the thing. If you've ever been
in a relationship for more than a few months, you
realize the nature of your relationship evolves and changes, and
there's a lot more work and growth that you usually
have to do to bring two lives together. And then
the ica of doing that with multiple people is it okay?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, because if you let's say you're in a thrupple
and you have one lovely uh partner and then another
lovely partner who each have different qualities. How, here's the thing,
because it's because you evolve and you have to learn
and work towards things, they can help You can help
each other because person A is going to be also
(21:50):
coexisting with person C and and they're going to be
the two ladies are going to be teaching each other
about life. And then you sitting there eating grapes, watching
them teach each other about life.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
You know what I mean, Like, I so desperately now
want you to be in a throttle and I want
to know the real experience when you just have like
two women very mad at you a lot at the time.
Some people are built for it, they can handle it.
They could choose the right people. I feel like with
you you would just be like, I don't know what
everything I'm doing wrong. They've ganged up on me how
(22:28):
I was supposed to be. I don't think it's for you.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
But shockingly Schmidt seems to be pulling it off quite well.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, because you're.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Keeping them separate. Nobody knows the game yet. I will
say Winston was like, man, no, yeah, this is not
the thing.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Wise, you know, he's a wise old sage and and
I think it's important to listen to him. Sometimes it's
step when he's like topless about to do something weird
to a puzzle. Don't listen to him in those moments,
because that's that's a creep. But besides that, he's a
very wise old man.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
The fact that the way that you tried to sell
the lie that you had done Elizabeth two and a
half times.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That's right, the half. I could tell you what that
half is. You do it twice and you're like excited.
The third time they're like can you go again? And
you're like, yeah, sure because you want to be embarrassed,
and then halfway through your body's like no, your partner,
your your your fellow passenger is like, I'm going to bed.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Can we not just say we did? You know what
it is?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
You have fun?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I rebby feet, come on, yes, so where are we now?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
That's when? Oh and then the creepiest thing I honestly think,
I mean, there's so many weird, creepy, funny things that
are said in New Girl. This I think takes the cake.
We'll see as we continue to like, you know, rewatch,
But the fact.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That what.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Says that he needed cees these panties just so into
his underwear was honestly.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I was like, who who who wrote Who wrote it?
Because whoever wrote it looking at you New Girl Rider's Room,
whoever it is, you need to go talk to somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's what we used to say about Camilla. She used
to always talk about text her.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
She used to always say, oh, I've got my my
panties in a pair of boxes in a bunch.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
My pants my pants.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah I got that accent quite well.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Since my pants. So in your pants into my pants
and now I've got double pants. See actually sounds better
in British versus like us your panties up into my underwear.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
And if you're talking like a street urgent, sure like street.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Thinking about Deliverance remember that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh yeah, love Deliverance. Okay, So Schmidt is so one.
He comes to the loft, You come to the loft,
he lies you now think you now say the creepiest planet. Yes,
you think. Winston is quite the nasty, nasty individual. He's
(25:29):
so nasty, very nasty.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
You know what's really funny is that when you say it,
that reaction, you know, when you know, like you kind
of slip a little out of character a little bit.
That is just I know, my real face, because I
was just like, I can't believe they're gonna make me
stay here, just in real life and have this man
be like so, you know, panties into and I was
just like I remember throwing a look back, being like, guys,
(25:54):
this is so gross. She would be calling the police.
This is a sign of some and who's deranged.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, I feel like that's for some reason, I feel
like that's a form of assault. It still something weird.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
You're implying you're like a little past the point of
like a normal relationship with another human when I need
to abandize the sew into my bads. Real crapy cy.
But I did love that we got that little moment together,
and it's really fun and cute and hostile and strange,
and he's trying to be a really good friend and
(26:29):
trying to sort it out. I also love the fact
that we learned that you're just like garbage at puzzles,
which is so funny to have something you love so
deeply and are just not good at it. Is such
a fun character trait that they gave you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's not even that he's not good at it. He
is dog shit horrifying. There was an almond, there was
an amend he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Upside down still.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yes, oh my god. And then Winston gets a little
upset and chases Schmidt back into the now. People always
ask me, there's a moment where we're well, as Winston's
doing the puzzle, they're rounding off, they're having their little
we're going back a little bit. They're having their little
face off Schmidt and Winston.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh yeah, because the day we have to be best friends,
like they're gone.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, And as they're having their face off, there was
one moment that I get asked about a lot. So
here's the time to answer that question. People ask me
if I stubbed my toe for real?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
And then okay, wait, just before you say it, can
I say I watched it last night, okay, and I
rewound it three times, and I said, he really stubbed
his toe. He really hurt himself. I could tell because
I know you well enough, but that'll if I'm wrong.
But the way you did it, because you just went
(27:53):
and I saw your face just get up and you
get a little mad when you get hurt. So you
got a little mad and I could see that the anger.
But Max didn't stop, so you just kept going. And
then that was a take they used. That was my guess.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yes, that was it. That was the take. I would
have been to know it if they didn't, because it
really hurt.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, And I stated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
The character the whole time, which is shocking. I'll use
normally I would have been like, hold on, time out,
But yeah, because Max kept going. I kept going, and
so to all the fans out there, yes, I stubbed
my toe for real and fun fact, till this day,
it still.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Hurts get out.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
When I go and do And I didn't realize this
until maybe like last year. It's been hurting forever only
when I do certain exercises. So if I'm doing like
a reverse lunge where my foot ask Eddie, I don't
do reverse lunges anymore because when I put my foot back,
my toe is resting on the angle of something and this,
when you put weight on it like this, it feels
it hurts, like really bad. So when I'm in regular stuff, no,
(29:01):
but like when I'm doing those exercises or sometimes when
I play basketball for too long, I can feel it
and I'm like, when did that happen?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, you like roll the tape.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, Because a fan had asked me a while ago,
a fan had asked me. I mean, I get them
all the time, but they said, did you stub your
toe for real? And I was and I responded to them,
I said, yeah, that's that was real. And I thought
about it, like, was that when I hurt my toe?
Because it's still messed.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Up, get out of town. Huh, that's so funny. I
rerounded three times because I was just like, oh, I
can see in your eyes that like legit hurt, and
then you gat you got like a little mad. When
we do the mess around at the end of this episode.
M hm, I'm already embarrassed. I will share with you
(29:53):
my weirdest injury.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's st Let me come and we're back. But we're
not just back, Hannah. We're back at the beach.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Back at the beach. Marina del Ray actually next to
like a red lobster really could have followed through. They
would have had the built in location right there. I
don't know if it's still there.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
That's probably that was probably an improvised moment. They probably
saw red lobster and let's.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Add that glow of the red neon. They were like,
you know what works.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Chutdter biscuits, those cheddar Bay biscuits. I don't think there's
any better than that. So here they are back at
the beach, you know, debating whether they go home or
whether they stay there in paradise like living. I mean,
they look rough. They honestly look like.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
They look rough. They get in the resort. They have
that conversation with the kid, which is, yes, the way
Nick does it, Jake does it is so funny to me,
so desperate, And then he gets hauled off to jail
and she freaks out. Yes, she goes to get help.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yes, she leaves Marina del Rey in Mexico all the
way back to get to get the gang together. Yeah,
and this is when we start to realize a lot.
Once the gang gets back there, we realize Nick is
an idiot because he's trying to live off the land
in Mexico and he's trying to, you know, rip up
his passport and he's trying to do all those crazy things.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Well, yeah, it's funny. It's that all in thing, right,
which I again I can understand from like a really young,
naive sweet dating relationship. Right. They said they're all in.
They're not going to be roommates with living with two
other dudes. They're choosing each other, they're committing, they're going
to run away, they're going to start a new life.
And he's the dreamer, right, So he's just like stuck
(31:53):
on it and he's just like, look I'm here. By
the way, he was not in some like weird, crazy,
terrifying jail he was in just sitting in like the
you know, probably the general manager's office.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, watching Ugly Betty, you said.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Watching Ugly Betty, and then going like, I'm committing I'm
choosing you. I'm gonna shred this passport. We're not going back,
as we'll follow up. The fear is just like in
all relationships, there's usually an undercurrent of some whatever worry
and his big worries if we go back, we're never
gonna make it, like our relationship won't make it. So
(32:28):
we're choosing each other. We have to cut ties with
every other thing, and in true absolutely insane, over the
top fashion, he's like, I'm gonna shred my passports so
i cannot go home. I think one of the funniest
things that also happens is that we learned that Winston
(32:49):
is color blind. Yes, with the shoes, right, isn't it
with the shoes.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
He is He's he's wearing green shoes that he says,
these are my favorite brown shoes.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
But it must have been I feel like when they
were writing this over the summer must have been Remember
the dress is the dress whatever it was, it was like,
is the dress gold, yeah, white or gold or whatever
the two colors were, and it became this massive thing.
It was like on the news. People were being asked,
like really crazy over the top. I'm like, how privileged
(33:21):
are we that this is like what we're focusing on
in life anyway? And it's so funny because it obviously
then made its way onto the show, and I feel
like the only reason it wasn't just to give Winston
a weird another weird thing. I feel like the only
reason they did that was because they wanted the joke,
(33:43):
and the.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Joke was if you know what it is, say say
the white color do you think you are?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
That's it. I feel like that whole thing was just
to spet up to ask that question, which really made
me laugh.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I was like, you know what, I think it is pocket,
But you know what, I I wish I wish I
would have gone back. I didn't even think about that.
I think Max improvised that. No, I'm almost certain I
could be wrong, but I'm almost certain that there was.
It was a lot of back and forth. Now they
have the alt lines and things like that, and we
were going back and forth and Max just said it,
(34:23):
that's why my reaction, I'm kind of smiling. It's like
you can tell. You can tell there's like a smile
underneath my my job looking like I'm like what, yeah,
I could be.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, you know, I have the scripts, so I will
go back and look and see and then we'll post
it if it happened or not. Hutererical, Well, that derails
my whole theory that it was just like I'm jumping
on a cultural moment that's so funny, though, I could
see that because it's it was just really funny.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Well, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Two minutes, welcome back. So all right, ask me do it?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Hannah. I'm not sure if I want to ask bear?
Where is it? Did you find it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Here's what I'm going to say. Now listen, just we
are grown now, okay, so just listen. Thought about it
a lot. I believe that there is a bear of
(35:41):
some sort in every episode of New Girl. I do
believe it. I stand by it. I do believe it.
Sometimes it's a little more figurative smile right now. Sometimes
it's physical. Sometimes it's a metaphysical okay, but I do
believe that there is a bear. I also because I
(36:06):
am a grown up Santa and the Easter Bunny told
me directly that for season three of this show, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta let it go.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Oh no, oh oh no, are we dropping the bear?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
I think, Look, there are so many fan theories about
so many things that I am happy to create a
new segment if the fans want, we can put this
on a poll of fan theories. We can go through
a fan theory, and we can talk about it a
little bit. This one I stand by. I do believe
that there's a bear. I don't know if I can
(36:55):
produce a physical bear though every single episode, And so
I think rip to the bear segment.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Not well, Hannah, okay, because you're saying goodbye, I was
gonna have I had a compromise. Oh, I had a compromise.
What Like you said, it sometimes could be physical metaphysical, Yeah,
it could be a theory of a bear. Sure, Now
(37:27):
what if? What if you could make a case each episode?
This is a new challenge even when there is no
direct bear in sight, which it rarely is. Out of
all the episodes, I think I could say it rarely.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Is no majority had them. But you just like rode
me so hard every single time, like I couldn't produce one.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
You're on crack, You're on cracked drugs.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
That's not the case.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I could. So how about this. The compromise is you
have to make a case every episode of a bear reference.
So whether Nick is shirt listening and say, oh, he
looks like a bear because he's bear.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Chested, or he high fived you with his bear hands.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
If you make the case, and I and you, and
you'll convince me and you'll win me over Hannah, I'll
buy you a lobster dinner every episode. Every episode, I'll
send a lobster to your house and make it.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Here's what I'll say. This is why I'll just say this,
and I will put it to rest. I truly believe
that the bear was important. I think it probably started
off with the joke of like Brett Bear, and then
it was like so many references in season one to
the Chicago Bears and how he says bear because he's
from Chicago, Bear, bear, Bear, and I think it was there,
and then they put the bear on the fridge, so
you already got two bears every single time you got it,
(38:45):
and writing with Brett Bear spelling, okay, fine, and then
you got the bear on the fridge always, and then
sometimes they would double triple down on it and then
give you a different kind of bear. So I just
feel like it's bears all around. I accept the bears.
I love the bears. I love the fans that have
this bear theory. I have the theory too, but I
know that it's taking up some time on this podcast
(39:08):
with us fighting. This is literally an hour and minute
seventeen of us talking about just trying to me kill
the bear. Like I feel like we just have to
be you know, like, what do you gonna agree to disagree?
And I just have to stand in my in my
and my strength. But I do feel like, here's what
I'll do at the end of season three. I will
do a standalone loft episode where I just go a
(39:32):
loft meeting where I go through every episode and I'll
highlight where those bears are. But we're pulling it out
of the recaps just because I can't take the fight anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Okay, all right, and deal, deal.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Deal, All right, there we go.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
And we let's die. Let's let's let's jump back into
the end of this episode really quick.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Before the end of.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
The episode, they're trying to leave and Nick accidentally drops
his which is so stupid. He had it in his
hand and all of a sudden it's in a shredder.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
It just gets shredded to pieces.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
What what I thought was was so funny on the
writer's part, I nay at Winston pick up the pieces,
the shreds, and go oh, I can work with this.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
By the way, that's how my brain works all the time.
All the time when I see like a shredder, I'm
always just like, that'd be the ultimate puzzle. I'm telling you,
this is stolen from my brain. I love that moment
so much. I forgot all about it, and I loved
it so much as a puzzler. I was like, this
is perfect. That's how our brains.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Let me tell you about privilege. Though, these assholes manage
to get back in the country.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
You're the one who greased the wheels for them to
do it, with you talking about your color blind disability.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Yeah, but he even had a comeback. He wasn't. He wasn't.
He looked at it like, Yo, this is crazy, this
isn't even a and you know, and somehow we still
manage to get that man into the United States. Yea
of America. Yep, nothing exactly. Now they get back to
the Now they get back to the apartment.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
There heard moment from the beginning of the episode.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
Nick does something very special. He gives her the bracelet
from the resort he opens. He goes to open the door,
but it's locked, and then they get into an argument
about why he doesn't have a key, and then out
of nowhere, they just start making out aggressively. Yeah, right
in front of Winston and Schmidt. And it's a lot.
It's like, I'm not even I don't think we were
(41:42):
there on that day. I think it was probably a
special request from like for like Zoe, you'd be like, no,
I'm not about to watch a bunch of dudes watch
me make out. You know that's not gonna happen. So
I don't remember being there on that day. Yeah, because
they were never in the same shot. I think we were.
We shot that on two different two different times. Huh.
(42:04):
But but yeah, we get we we we we wrap
on that, and we also towards the tag is Winston's
at a table and he looks at a puzzle and
it's clearly I don't think any pieces are correct, not
one set of pieces are correct. He looks at it
and he's like, hmm, this is it. This is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
I think I did it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah, I think you said this is great. It's masterpiece.
This is a masterpiece. And that concludes episode three oh one.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
All in such a great episode, such a good launch
into like a new season. You know, all these new dynamics,
like they set the stakes up I think really well
for an entire season.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. I've always told folks, you know,
season three is where I really start to feel like
I was comfortable on the show. Season three and on
I was like, Okay, now I'm in a I'm in
a pretty good groove here. As far as as far
as as I think, from season three on, my character
(43:15):
stays the same. He's crazy, he's weird, He's got these
weird traits and quirks where season one and two we
were kind of finding it a little bit like.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
I agree. I feel the same way too. I feel
like I found my lane a little bit more too,
also because they brought you and I together more like
that little dynamic scene where I come in and like
I'm annoyed at you when you're saying crazy stuff. You
start to see their relationship, which started to become integral
to the series as it went on, and I think
(43:44):
that was for me. It was like helpful too that
I wasn't just always caught in some sort of like
love triangle situation that now I just like had like
a guy friend who was like annoying, but like I
dug and that's what they kind of gave me with
like the C. C. Winston thing. So that was season
three two, which I loved.
Speaker 1 (44:02):
Oh yeah, and it's hard and I'm shocked that they
even we even continued our friendship knowing that Wuston was
wearing your panties.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That's true. But as we know, if you have your
platonic male friends, they will say and do things that
are out of pocket sometimes and you just go like,
that's how my brother is. That's just what it is.
He's so crazy and I.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Love him for it. Right, we'll be right back to
gay and here we are, Hannah, m hmm, it's time
for the mess around. Let's go, babe, Yeah, babe, any
(44:46):
wild Mexico stories or vacation stories.
Speaker 3 (44:51):
M any wild Mexico stories. I feel like you for
sure have one.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I got quite quite the array of.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Mexican I feel like, you know, like you know, people
like fan out an envelope and you get to like
pick one and you're.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Like, yes, I got a panick a lot. I can
tell you, well, I have a lot of Mexico stories,
and I'm trying to figure out which is the most
pg because some of them are just straight up not
(45:35):
like in a like a sick, like a nasty way,
just like gross, like I fun, fun, but also some
of them are rather gross, and I'm trying to figure
out which one's more interesting. So I'll just I'll just
start spewing one off right now. And one of them
is I ate. There was this restaurant at the at
(45:56):
this resort that we were staying at, and it was
this This resort is one of the it might be
the most beautiful place I'd stayed. It's called the Esperanza
l Esperanzo, I think that's what it's called in Cabo.
And there is a restaurant there that serves this fish.
It's a white fish, but it's very fatty and oily,
(46:19):
very very fatty and oily. And when I say it's
one of the best things I've ever eaten in my
entire life. That's that's the feeling when I was eating it,
when I was putting it inside of my body, but
when it decided it wanted to come out of my body.
It I okay, I'm trying not to gross everybody out
(46:42):
and lose the listeners, but just bear with me, you
know me. I go use the restroom and it's bright orange.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
I thought I was dying. I was like, what, there's
a white fish. But it was very oily, just like
and it was the oil from the fish. It was
that that it would just kept coming out.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
That's what happened, you know that right there?
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I didn't but no, but I didn't feel sick. It
was just what's that fish called? It was God, damn it.
I wish I could tell you the name of it.
But it's a white, oily fish. And it messed me up.
But it didn't feel bad. It just was like weird,
like a little fish.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
She just like swam right through you. And then I
was like I'm coming out and swimming around somewhere in
the ocean.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
So I'm sorry. I'm sorry, listeners, that wasn't what you wanted.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
When it's not the wild story. This is about like
a couple that was romantic and like, drove to Mexico
and did something crazy to be there.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I didn't do nothing crazy. I got a ticket and
bought a flight, paid for a hotel room. Each time.
I'm not like these dumb dumbs, you know, I remember.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
I remember.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
I'll tell you a little bit of a Mexico thing.
And then I have to fulfill my promise, which I
was going to tell you my weirdest injury that still hurts.
I shouldn't say still hurts, but you can still see
the scar. I'll tell you my little Mexico story, which
was I remember dating somebody being like in a job
(48:23):
I didn't love. They were also in a job didn't love,
and I would talk a lot about like we should
just run away and run away to Mexico. I don't
know why. It was this big romantic thing. I wonder.
I talked to Liz about that too. We used to
chat a lot anyway. I remember being like, oh, I
want to run away to Mexico and just like uh,
and he was like me too, and we would talk
about the whole thing, and of course never happened. No,
(48:45):
r Who's because it's impractical, but he wrote a song
about it. He wrote a song about it, and like
it played like on the whatever. Like I heard it
and I was like, oh my god, we'd broken up,
no longer together. And I remember being like, this is
(49:06):
the whole conversation we had about running away to Mexico.
And and then he made yeah, he was like a
like an artist, and then he faced a song and
then it was just a weird moment about this totally
ludicrous conversation.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
Oh, now, this is what this is when you dated
Kanye run away from the Baby run Away.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
No, that song is brutal. That song is a brutal song.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
Wait so you so, so do we talk about already?
Did you? Did you? Maybe I missed it? Who are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (49:45):
I'm not going to say who it is.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
But I just give a first name.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
No, I'm not going to say who it is, but
I do really, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. But
I it was such like a you know, it's like
just a weird moment, like this person wasn't like a
you know, a big artist or whatever at the time,
and then wrote this song and then this song came
out and I was just like and then now he's.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
A big artist.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
No no, but like an artist. And anyway, so here's
my weirdest injury and this.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
Mm hm o boy.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
I don't know I've ever told this story, but it
just made me think about like you're you know, like
you're in the middle of a scene and then all
of a sudden, some weird office chair like catches your
toe and you're in pain, and you just keep going
with it. I was sitting on the couch and I
had a cat who I loved very much, very large
(50:39):
obese cat named Jake. Actually funny big obes's cat named Jake,
a big fat cat named Jake. And Jake was on
my lap, and I was with somebody who was sitting
next to me, and I was dating at the time,
and they were very comfortable in a relationship, and they
(51:02):
farted so loud. The guy was dating, and the cat
got startled and so dug their claw into my thigh
and jumped off and scooped out a chunk of my thigh.
(51:23):
That is how disturbing and loud that fart was. Took
me by surprise, and I looked down and my leg
was bleeding and a chunk of it is just out
scooped out like a little ice cream Scooper and I
have a scar on my leg and people have seen
it and they're just like, what's that scar? And I'm like,
it's a really hard he ate some oily fish and
(51:51):
now I know I'm scarred for life. Literally, come on,
that's a weird one. How do you explain that to people?
Speaker 1 (51:59):
That's aggressive?
Speaker 3 (52:00):
That it's aggressive?
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Did you break up with him immediately after?
Speaker 3 (52:07):
Anybody who's going back to our a threatle thing? Imagine
that just just like you know, a cacophony of farts
around you all the time. Like I feel like, when
you've been in a relationship long enough, you should be
comfortable to do whatever your human body needs to do.
No shame here whatsoever. But that one was at a
level that even like the wild life, you know, or
just like darting to the hills.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah, that that that don't sit right with me.
Speaker 3 (52:30):
It didn't right with anybody incutting the person obviously that was.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
Farting, and he just the fact but he you know,
that's saying a loud that he felt comfortable enough to
just blow your skull away, but also also to try
to like kill your cat in the process.
Speaker 3 (52:46):
I don't know. It was the craziest thing. And of
course there's such a dude just being like I looked over,
I'm bleeding and I'm like and they're like, what like
nothing like that for them. They were just like, oh, hold,
I like, I did you a favor. I didn't even
like let it all go?
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Was he smoking a vape in that moment? No?
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Why do vapes cause parts?
Speaker 1 (53:07):
No, I'm trying to figure out which X we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (53:11):
Going through the list. No, all right, that is true.
It's so funny that you like know my life previous.
All right. Well, the last question, of course, on the
mess around, which I don't even think we need to
answer because I talked about it. Basically, the entire thing is,
are you guys big puzzle be bump?
Speaker 1 (53:31):
I'm a yes, I'm a hard no hard.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I like to complete the puzzles of life, you know
what I mean. I like to go up to a stranger,
figure out what they're lacking, and I like to complete them.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
Mm hmm, you're just full Jerry Maguire at this point.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
Now, Well, I'm a I'm well, well, well I'm a chameleon,
you know, I'm a I'm a utility player. If there's
anything you need in your life, Daddy can fix it.
And this is a message to all the single ladies
out there who didn't have that dad experience. Let me
be your guide. Let me be your old man guiding
(54:07):
you through this journey of life. Yeah, this is.
Speaker 3 (54:15):
Why we like Hannah. Honestly, we'll talk why am I single?
And I'm like, because these jokes are not translating to
the ladies' ears.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
They dumb. They dumb. That's not that's them, that's on them. No,
all right, if you love my sense of humor and
you find it slide in the Hannah's dms, she doesn't
check them.
