Speaker 1 (00:17):
Lord, Lord Lordie. Hannah. Yes, it's been a time child,
I know.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You're in a safe place now, you're in the loft
or having a meeting with our fans.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Let me take my way off.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's that famous what's that Fresh Prince scene where she
like takes everything off? Oh yeah, yeah, nails come off,
everything comes off, and he's just like, what am I
just get pulled off?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's comfortable. You guys were all together in the loft
meeting your questions.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And boy do they have questions. I think most people
don't have They don't really have questions. I mean they
have some questions, but it's like some sort of cool
story or moment or antidote.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That they like to share.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, and we appreciate it all we do. Okay, here
we go. I'll take this first one. Hey, Hannah and
lamar my now, X and I were a rewatching new girl.
We always joked that we were Jess and Nick because
we'd be on again and off again. I'm adorable and
clumsy with my big blue eyes and with my hair
(01:30):
is and it's natural color with bangs. I give Zoe vibes.
And he's a mess who drinks too much. Nick is
actually more successful than him.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Let me just start by saying, you ain't overhere. This
man relaxed. Okay, you this is too much. The episode
where Nick and Just break up precipitated hours. It led
to a conversation that we also have nothing in common.
We left the conversation and he went home. A few
days later, we were long distance and then his friend
(02:02):
of fifteen years, a boyfriend of nineteen months, dumped me
via a text and refused to answer his phone. Classy,
So wait, his friend, this friend, I'm sorry. So I
was like, wait, what, oh.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
This friend of fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh gosh, she's speaking about.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It and it was her boyfriend for nineteen months of
their fifteen year friendship. Okay, send a text and then
never picked up the phone.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So here in lies my controversial opinion. Obviously, in the show,
we want them to get back together. But if you
had a friend who was a teacher who basically gave
up her career to follow her boyfriend around Europe on
a book tour while he refuses to propose to her,
would you be shipping them. I haven't rewatched those episodes yet.
(02:49):
I'm trying to stick to where the pod is up to,
So it will be interesting to see if I still
think that when I get there. But my memory is
that I don't think they should be doctor Kayla. Oh
you're a doctor, doctor not to feel you guys, you
need to call it different, doctor because you've got some
healing to do, doctor Kayla, Doctor Kayla.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, I don't know. I feel like there's two things
going on here. One is the show and what's going
on with Nick and Jess And they're will there won't
they of a TV formula where they have to keep
them upart bring them back together. They have to go
through their ups and downs, but they truly do love
(03:35):
each other and are meant for each other, and we
know they end up in together at the end, and
they do, which is where the shipping comes from. Then
there's what is a really unkind breakup to send a
text and then not answer the phone when you've known
this person for fifteen years, been together for almost two
(04:00):
probably could have done that better.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, but it also sounds like.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But if he's got in trouble with the bottle, then
maybe he's not the most reliable person to lead like
a healed emotionally available. Yeah, according to you, I don't
know this man, sir, I don't know you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like she shouldn't be
too shocked or offended. Really, they broke up, like you said,
you knew like you knew this. You have nothing in common,
like what's happening here. The issue that I have is that, yes,
you have been friends for fifteen years. That's the tricky part,
(04:38):
you know, the the text. If you've been friends for
fifteen years, you should have expected that behavior out of
this person. That's true.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You would know somebody. And you're saying he's a mess,
and so it's messy. Yeah, I honestly don't know anybody
who's like me. And Chad broke up and it was
wonderful and I feel great about it now. Yeah, if
you're not the wondering the dumping, if you got dumped
like I got dumped by Chad.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, Chad be dumping Chad.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And so I feel like it's no matter which way
it was gonna happen, it is probably gonna hurt. And
then at least it's over and you can start to
heal and move forward.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Doctor, Yeah, doctor Kayla. If you're looking for a specialist
in that field, try give me an email. Shoot me
an email. I'm a I'm a specialist in the art
of relationship therapy, couple's counseling. It's something that I do
on the side, and I don't charge a penny for it.
I don't charge a penny. In fact, I charge three
(05:38):
hundred dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So yeah, feel free to reach out. I know you
got the money. You're a doctor.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That'ually quite reasonable. All right, We're moving on to Emily. Hi,
Hannah Lamorn and the mess Around crew. My name is Emily,
and I'm repping Pennsylvania. I like you never hear people
(06:06):
just repping a state. Yeah all right, well, goodcos Pennsylvania.
You got Emily. I, like many mess Around listeners, love
New Girl with my whole heart. I watch it for
the first time right before and during COVID, which I
will always remember because I would do puzzles while watching
and not realized that I was channeling my inner Winston
and Hannah. Since then, I've rewatched the show so many
(06:26):
times that I don't know what number this rewatch is.
I wanted to tell you that you guys helped me
pull off a nick esque birthday present for my fiance.
It worked out that you guys were talking about the
episode Birthday about a month before his birthday, and hearing
you talk about Nick making the video for just inspired
me to do the same thing for him. I was
able to get twenty eight to his favorite people to
(06:47):
wish him a virtual happy birthday and put it all together.
You really liked it, and I told him to thank
you guys for the inspiration. I have a bit of
a goofy question for you that comes from Max being
on Celeberty Jeopardy this season. If the New Girl characters
were on Jeopardy, who do you think would win and
who would not do so well? We know from part
(07:08):
one of Fancy Man that Schmid is insanely good at trivia,
but do you think anyone would be able to show
him up? Thank you all for this podcast. It's so
much fun to listen to. I love hearing you talk
about your actual selves showing up in your characters and
calling everyone out for breaking And now I watch even
closer to see if I can catch anyone break. Also, Hannah,
keep those air horns coming. I echo you every time
(07:32):
you do them. A love you guys. Emily, Oh, Celebrity Jeopardy.
Have you ever been asked to be on?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes, I have. I couldn't make it. Celebrit Jeopardy and
Wheel of Fortune was able to do it. But Max
was on it. And did you see that?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I saw it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Max was on it. He did not do well. He
did No, it's dumbest.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Boy in school. But I think he did okay. I
think he did okay, but he didn't win. Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We know some people. Udkarsh was on it. I saw
a lot of like some of the work like Blake
Anderson was on it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Really a lot of the Yeah, a lot of the
homies were on it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
But yeah, I think I honestly, I think it would
be It would have to be Jess because if they're not,
they're not celebrities, right, They're just regular people, so not playing.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The celebrity Jess Schmidt for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, I think Jess school teacher. There's a lot of
information that she just knows. One.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I feel like the fun though of New Girl is
is they love the dark horse thing, and so I
feel like you could have Whinny or cecier Nick. All
of a sudden they just are like they got weird
and drilled out on one subject so they could like
blast an entire category, well.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What it is? What it is? And CC because all
of the C C stuff, like she is dumb, finished,
did finish school? You got it? You know all these
things where you're like, wait, what it'd be so funny
if like but she's but she knows so much and
they're like, well, what.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
How do you know all these?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know, it's like, oh, well, you know my grandma
when I grew up, you know, she used to maybe
you watch Jeopardy, and I used to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I used to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
All these things that you never knew would come in
handy until you watched, until you played Jeopardy.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
H it's like grt. Remember the Price is Right documentary.
There was a guy that watched every single Price is Right,
every single one, and he created like a whole system
and he did a whole thing and he went on
the prices right right, this is true right, and then
he like crushed it and got the biggest winnings and whatever,
and then The Price is Right came after him and
(09:42):
said that he cheated.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, I don't think it was. The Price is Right
maybe there's a whole movie coming out. Paul Walter Houser
is in it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
This is a real documentary from years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Well there's a movie coming out, My Luckiest Man in
the World. Yeah, coming get Paul Walter Hauser. Yeah, yeah,
But it's not about that. I don't know if those
prices right, but it's about that. It's about this guy
who studied and studied and studied and then went and
then went on the show and and gamed them so
much that they started coming after him.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They came after him, and they took all his winnings
and stripped him of the whole thing, and they said
no when he genuinely did win. And so I feel
like that's like a that could be like a nick thing,
you know what I mean, like a get rich quick thing.
If I could just crack, he'll never work again, and
then he could go on and it could be he
could be great at it. So I feel like there
(10:33):
could be a I think the obvious choices are Jess
and Schmidt, but you never know. When the New Girl universe. Okay,
oh my god, do you want me to read it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's just it's not this is a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
These are a lot of I'm going to read this one, Okay,
I mean we can skip.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
This is its own episode. Elizabeth from Wisconsin. I love you,
but this is I haven't had to do as much
as research this is. I'll read it. Okay, all right,
I want you to know something.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Elizabeth from Wisconsin. I'm on here.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
She all here trying to get a book deal. Okay,
dear Hannah Lamarnan. Possibly Max what okay you are reading
this while he was visiting? Okay, well Max isn't here,
but just us, but we'll relay the message. I absolutely
adore New Girl. It has been my comfort show for
(11:38):
well over eight years and is always where I can
turn to when things get rough. For that, thank you
so much. Thank you for all the love you obviously
poured into this show and are still pouring. A shout
out to the writers for making it something so special
that so many people have this show as an outlet.
My connection with New Girls started in college, and with
(11:59):
each year I can to it on a deeper level.
My junior year, I started to date one of my
best guy friends of three years, and we have now
been in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
For over five years. Dating someone that you only see
as a friend was scary at first, as navigating through
the changes can be challenging. Watching Jess and Nick's relationships
sometimes very much reminds me of mine and has taught
me a lot. As we got into our senior year,
my housing placement was very unfortunate, but he ended up
(12:29):
having a single room in his fraternity house. I ended
up spending the majority of my time there and was
the girl roommate to ten of my closest guy friends.
Yes you read that correctly, ten guys.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes, it was a lot, but no, I would not
trade that time for anything, because it was the most
part a great because for the most part a great
chaotic time. I connect with Jess on a spiritual level
living with that many men, and unfortunately none of them
or a roommate like Schmidt, my best guy friend in
(13:04):
the whole world, lived in that house, and one of
my fondest memories with this show happened with him. I
regrettably remembered I had a paper due the next day
at eight am, and I had not done my due
diligence on it. He was known to be quite the
night owl, so as I was working away in the
living room binging new girl, I decided to see if
(13:27):
he was up, and I wanted to help keep me up.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This fuck me?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Do you want me to take over? Now? It's the
meat of the story, all right, Gloria Gainer go on
will serve first.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
He was known to be quite the night owls, so
as I was working away in the living room binging
new girl, I decided to see if he was up
and wanted to help keep me awake. He immediately came
downstairs and asked me what I was watching. Within five
minutes of scrolling on his phone, pretending not to pay
attention to the show, I instantly. I instantly said, how
(14:08):
do you not know this show? And happily restarted it.
We ended up staying up until four in the morning,
an interesting decision only a senior in college with limited
time left could make, laugh, crying and enjoining each other's company.
To this day, whenever he comes to visit, we will
have this show on in the background as we catch
up on our lives. Some days we strictly communicate in
(14:29):
newgro gifts, one of my favorites being Schmidt's line, you
know what they call you where I come from? A
dirty old bitch.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't remember that one I do what do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
AnyWho, my girlfriends and I all have sweatshirts that say
street youths on the front, and this is a horrible
neighborhood on the back. Schmidt, while being one of the
most infuriating characters, is my favorite to quote, so hence beginning.
So hence the beginning. Hey, if you are reading this
(15:01):
when he is visiting. If not, I am still pumped
to be on the pod. I have an hour two
community can well took me an hour to read this.
I have an hour to communicate every day at Listening
to YouTube makes the time fly. Thank you for doing
this podcast. I look forward to the episodes every week.
(15:21):
I don't have I don't have a good goosebumps walk
away because I don't have time to write twenty different
ideas down. So thank you for reading. Love youa Elizabeth
from Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I am signing off.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Take a nap. Do you know what I think this is?
This is what I think this is? It's she said
that she has an hour commute and so she just
left like a voice note that then transcribes into an
email and she sent it when she got home. It's
got me talked for the hour of like and then
this happened, and then I went to college, and then
I dated this guy. Because the guy she dated, we
(15:58):
got the whole backstory. We never heard from him.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't know anything about this guy anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We don't know. She's been with her for five years,
but she's watching the show with some other guy who's
like her best friend. I don't know. There was a
lot going on, Elizabeth from Wisconsin. But what I will
say is I know that you are a true fan
to write your PhD thesis on New Girl and send
it to us, and we appreciate that deeply. And the
(16:23):
fact that you got all of these guys in the
frat to pay attention to New Girl, which is a
great show. Oh yeah, for that age of men to watch.
It is fun and funny and shows how you can
live healthily with women. Appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Elizabeth. Leamourn has passed away and they'll never speak again.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, Elizabeth, listen, First of all, I love you and
thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Why would you make me do that?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Elizabeth, Next time you send in a letter, just just
title at the top. Please don't have leamore and read
this one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, Once I get past like four sentences, my eyes
start to go what you're doing here? And readers aloud.
We remember at the end of each episode we say,
if you have a question comment, leave us a voicemail.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh see, that would have been great, Elizabeth. If this
was a voice memo and we could have played it
and listened to it, that would be your sweet.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sweet, lovely voice.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Because also, tone is everything, yeah, because I'm like, yeah,
I don't know what your tone is, and certain things
a lot of punctuation and the wrong because here's the thing,
where's that part here? My maybe she was like my
best guy friend changes.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Who could be laying her down at night?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We don't know. We don't know, and so it's best
take this as as a as a as a note
to all of our listeners. Record a voice memo, send
it to us, or video he love to see you.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh, video would be great. A video would be great.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We'd love to see you. Then we know there's air
quotes going around these friends. And then Morn doesn't have
to read fifty pages.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You gotta sit. I feel like Floyd Mayweather reading a
Harry Potter book.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
You sound like your mouth is dry.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It feels like it.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You know, I can see it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You know, even in the marathon run. In marathons, there's
somebody that gives them a cup of water at least
every mile.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Halfway through, just a cup comes in.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
That's something comes on a table read.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Your heels are bleeding. You just don't know why, you
just you just ran a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I can't close as it was like a table read.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
A little bit where you're just like cold reading and
you're just like, oh, where are we going?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Embarrassing for me, Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well, you gave us a good time, Elizabeth on the
back end, maybe not for reasons why you thought, but
this is why it's a great show in the lock
all right, last one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I had to begin. He was like, Lamurn, I'll you
take the first one so I could read the next one.
I'm like, yeah, but the one after that is a long.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Lamourn, what you have to read? This one? It's for you.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You can do it, okay, Damn, Lamurn, I didn't realize
you moonlight as the principal at my kid's school laughing
emoji on the real This man also frequents the same
coffee shop as me, and I do a double take
every time he walks in the door. What do you think?
Should I approach him one day and ask if he
knows he looks like Emmy Winner, Lamore and Morris.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Thanks for all the laughs, Alexa.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
This guy here, not only do I know him, I
think I've been tweeted this guy's picture.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Really I believe so this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Is like full doppelganger situation, Alexa.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I might ask him. I want to see. I want to, Alexa.
I am curious. I want to I do want to
follow up on this one. Do we have his name?
Do we have the kids school? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, but we can respond. We have Alexa's email.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Alexa in the photo. It'd be so funny if she
blurred out her.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Own Facebook's like, it's not me.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You don't have the rights to show my face.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But give people in the picture. I just so it's
not confusing. It's this one. You look like this one.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We do do we kind of resemble each other a
little bit? I see it.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
If you have, say the top three people that people
say that you look like, Michael.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
B Jordan, Idris Elba Andres Alba. Uh No, I get
Malcolm Barrett, who's an actor. Love Malcolm Adwin Brown, who's
also an actor, Adwin If you guys look him up,
Adwin Brof. You google Adwin Brown, my name might pop up.
(20:54):
I swear to you a d w i N.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Brown, Edwin Brokay.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Here you go, Oh okay, all right, Edwin Brown. And
I mean sometimes people mistake me for Jay Farrow. I
get that a lot. I get that a lot. I
think it's just because we're both funny people, and people
associate SNL with humor, so if they see me, they go, oh, funny,
(21:21):
always funny, they just go always SNL, they always, they
always do that. But yeah, the one I've been getting
a lot lately is Damnseon Indrius, just because I mean,
we're both we both have great accents and both sex symbols.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So I've been getting that a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Known for your humility or humbleness.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's something that something that the people desire.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Anyway, that's our show. What about you, Hannah, Who do
you get Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I've had two over the years, Kim Kardashian. When I
first moved to LA I also got Nicole Scherzinger back
in the day. It's all those ethnically ambiguous like girls,
Kamela alvas I got a bunch.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, Kamela Kabeo.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No no, I'm just joking, no no, but there's definitely
been a few where you're just like once, I'll never
forget this. I was in college. I was, oh, I
don't know whatever, I was like twenty years old and
took a cab from UBC my university and the cab
(22:35):
driver was silent the entire time, didn't speak a word,
and then dropped me off and he said to me
he was an Indian cab driver and he congratulated me.
So maybe I don't know what year this was, but anyway,
I just remember me. He graduated me for being a
bucheon now and he thought I was a shy Rai
(22:57):
and a Shwayerai is the most stunning human period and
the most at that time. I was also like the
most famous Indian woman in the world. It's just been
on Oprah, like teaching Oprah how to like rap a
sari or whatever. And I look nothing like I could
not look further from a she has like blue eyes,
like there's like we could not be further apart. But
(23:20):
I will never forget that this man who's took me
for her, and I was like, this is the greatest.
I mean, he must be fully blind.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But other than not fully blind, I mean I could see,
I could.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
See the resemblance. I could I could see it a
little bit besides the eye color and the beauty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I could see. I could definitely see it. But but yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's cool. All right, were your It's good to see
you again.
Speaker 1 (23:54):

Speaker 3 (24:17):
That's right. If it's more than four sentences, flag it
at the top, say Hannah, you gotta take this one.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We need Hannah to read the stuff that with words
in it, especially words past seven letters.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Don't do that to me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):

Idyllic. Oh my god, we.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Love you, Bay.

Additional production from Daniel Goodman, Wendy Heisler and Kyle Shevron.
Our theme song was written and composed by Ronald Jukebox Jackson.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Catch you Next Time. Bye,
Lord, Lord Lordie. Hannah. Yes, it's been a time child,
I know.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You're in a safe place now, you're in the loft
or having a meeting with our fans.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Let me take my way off.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's that famous what's that Fresh Prince scene where she
like takes everything off? Oh yeah, yeah, nails come off,
everything comes off, and he's just like, what am I
just get pulled off?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's comfortable. You guys were all together in the loft
meeting your questions.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And boy do they have questions. I think most people
don't have They don't really have questions. I mean they
have some questions, but it's like some sort of cool
story or moment or antidote.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That they like to share.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, and we appreciate it all we do. Okay, here
we go. I'll take this first one. Hey, Hannah and
lamar my now, X and I were a rewatching new girl.
We always joked that we were Jess and Nick because
we'd be on again and off again. I'm adorable and
clumsy with my big blue eyes and with my hair
(01:30):
is and it's natural color with bangs. I give Zoe vibes.
And he's a mess who drinks too much. Nick is
actually more successful than him.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Let me just start by saying, you ain't overhere. This
man relaxed. Okay, you this is too much. The episode
where Nick and Just break up precipitated hours. It led
to a conversation that we also have nothing in common.
We left the conversation and he went home. A few
days later, we were long distance and then his friend
(02:02):
of fifteen years, a boyfriend of nineteen months, dumped me
via a text and refused to answer his phone. Classy,
So wait, his friend, this friend, I'm sorry. So I
was like, wait, what, oh.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
This friend of fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh gosh, she's speaking about.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It and it was her boyfriend for nineteen months of
their fifteen year friendship. Okay, send a text and then
never picked up the phone.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So here in lies my controversial opinion. Obviously, in the show,
we want them to get back together. But if you
had a friend who was a teacher who basically gave
up her career to follow her boyfriend around Europe on
a book tour while he refuses to propose to her,
would you be shipping them. I haven't rewatched those episodes yet.
(02:49):
I'm trying to stick to where the pod is up to,
So it will be interesting to see if I still
think that when I get there. But my memory is
that I don't think they should be doctor Kayla. Oh
you're a doctor, doctor not to feel you guys, you
need to call it different, doctor because you've got some
healing to do, doctor Kayla, Doctor Kayla.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, I don't know. I feel like there's two things
going on here. One is the show and what's going
on with Nick and Jess And they're will there won't
they of a TV formula where they have to keep
them upart bring them back together. They have to go
through their ups and downs, but they truly do love
(03:35):
each other and are meant for each other, and we
know they end up in together at the end, and
they do, which is where the shipping comes from. Then
there's what is a really unkind breakup to send a
text and then not answer the phone when you've known
this person for fifteen years, been together for almost two
(04:00):
probably could have done that better.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, but it also sounds like.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
But if he's got in trouble with the bottle, then
maybe he's not the most reliable person to lead like
a healed emotionally available. Yeah, according to you, I don't
know this man, sir, I don't know you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like she shouldn't be
too shocked or offended. Really, they broke up, like you said,
you knew like you knew this. You have nothing in common,
like what's happening here. The issue that I have is that, yes,
you have been friends for fifteen years. That's the tricky part,
(04:38):
you know, the the text. If you've been friends for
fifteen years, you should have expected that behavior out of
this person. That's true.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You would know somebody. And you're saying he's a mess,
and so it's messy. Yeah, I honestly don't know anybody
who's like me. And Chad broke up and it was
wonderful and I feel great about it now. Yeah, if
you're not the wondering the dumping, if you got dumped
like I got dumped by Chad.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, Chad be dumping Chad.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And so I feel like it's no matter which way
it was gonna happen, it is probably gonna hurt. And
then at least it's over and you can start to
heal and move forward.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Doctor, Yeah, doctor Kayla. If you're looking for a specialist
in that field, try give me an email. Shoot me
an email. I'm a I'm a specialist in the art
of relationship therapy, couple's counseling. It's something that I do
on the side, and I don't charge a penny for it.
I don't charge a penny. In fact, I charge three
(05:38):
hundred dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So yeah, feel free to reach out. I know you
got the money. You're a doctor.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That'ually quite reasonable. All right, We're moving on to Emily. Hi,
Hannah Lamorn and the mess Around crew. My name is Emily,
and I'm repping Pennsylvania. I like you never hear people
(06:06):
just repping a state. Yeah all right, well, goodcos Pennsylvania.
You got Emily. I, like many mess Around listeners, love
New Girl with my whole heart. I watch it for
the first time right before and during COVID, which I
will always remember because I would do puzzles while watching
and not realized that I was channeling my inner Winston
and Hannah. Since then, I've rewatched the show so many
(06:26):
times that I don't know what number this rewatch is.
I wanted to tell you that you guys helped me
pull off a nick esque birthday present for my fiance.
It worked out that you guys were talking about the
episode Birthday about a month before his birthday, and hearing
you talk about Nick making the video for just inspired
me to do the same thing for him. I was
able to get twenty eight to his favorite people to
(06:47):
wish him a virtual happy birthday and put it all together.
You really liked it, and I told him to thank
you guys for the inspiration. I have a bit of
a goofy question for you that comes from Max being
on Celeberty Jeopardy this season. If the New Girl characters
were on Jeopardy, who do you think would win and
who would not do so well? We know from part
(07:08):
one of Fancy Man that Schmid is insanely good at trivia,
but do you think anyone would be able to show
him up? Thank you all for this podcast. It's so
much fun to listen to. I love hearing you talk
about your actual selves showing up in your characters and
calling everyone out for breaking And now I watch even
closer to see if I can catch anyone break. Also, Hannah,
keep those air horns coming. I echo you every time
(07:32):
you do them. A love you guys. Emily, Oh, Celebrity Jeopardy.
Have you ever been asked to be on?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yes, I have. I couldn't make it. Celebrit Jeopardy and
Wheel of Fortune was able to do it. But Max
was on it. And did you see that?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
No, I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I saw it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Max was on it. He did not do well. He
did No, it's dumbest.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Boy in school. But I think he did okay. I
think he did okay, but he didn't win. Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We know some people. Udkarsh was on it. I saw
a lot of like some of the work like Blake
Anderson was on it.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Really a lot of the Yeah, a lot of the
homies were on it.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
But yeah, I think I honestly, I think it would
be It would have to be Jess because if they're not,
they're not celebrities, right, They're just regular people, so not playing.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The celebrity Jess Schmidt for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, I think Jess school teacher. There's a lot of
information that she just knows. One.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I feel like the fun though of New Girl is
is they love the dark horse thing, and so I
feel like you could have Whinny or cecier Nick. All
of a sudden they just are like they got weird
and drilled out on one subject so they could like
blast an entire category, well.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
What it is? What it is? And CC because all
of the C C stuff, like she is dumb, finished,
did finish school? You got it? You know all these
things where you're like, wait, what it'd be so funny
if like but she's but she knows so much and
they're like, well, what.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
How do you know all these?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know, it's like, oh, well, you know my grandma
when I grew up, you know, she used to maybe
you watch Jeopardy, and I used to do this.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I used to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
All these things that you never knew would come in
handy until you watched, until you played Jeopardy.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
H it's like grt. Remember the Price is Right documentary.
There was a guy that watched every single Price is Right,
every single one, and he created like a whole system
and he did a whole thing and he went on
the prices right right, this is true right, and then
he like crushed it and got the biggest winnings and whatever,
and then The Price is Right came after him and
(09:42):
said that he cheated.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No, I don't think it was. The Price is Right
maybe there's a whole movie coming out. Paul Walter Houser
is in it.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
This is a real documentary from years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Well there's a movie coming out, My Luckiest Man in
the World. Yeah, coming get Paul Walter Hauser. Yeah, yeah,
But it's not about that. I don't know if those
prices right, but it's about that. It's about this guy
who studied and studied and studied and then went and
then went on the show and and gamed them so
much that they started coming after him.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
They came after him, and they took all his winnings
and stripped him of the whole thing, and they said
no when he genuinely did win. And so I feel
like that's like a that could be like a nick thing,
you know what I mean, like a get rich quick thing.
If I could just crack, he'll never work again, and
then he could go on and it could be he
could be great at it. So I feel like there
(10:33):
could be a I think the obvious choices are Jess
and Schmidt, but you never know. When the New Girl universe. Okay,
oh my god, do you want me to read it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's just it's not this is a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
These are a lot of I'm going to read this one, Okay,
I mean we can skip.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
This is its own episode. Elizabeth from Wisconsin. I love you,
but this is I haven't had to do as much
as research this is. I'll read it. Okay, all right,
I want you to know something.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Elizabeth from Wisconsin. I'm on here.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
She all here trying to get a book deal. Okay,
dear Hannah Lamarnan. Possibly Max what okay you are reading
this while he was visiting? Okay, well Max isn't here,
but just us, but we'll relay the message. I absolutely
adore New Girl. It has been my comfort show for
(11:38):
well over eight years and is always where I can
turn to when things get rough. For that, thank you
so much. Thank you for all the love you obviously
poured into this show and are still pouring. A shout
out to the writers for making it something so special
that so many people have this show as an outlet.
My connection with New Girls started in college, and with
(11:59):
each year I can to it on a deeper level.
My junior year, I started to date one of my
best guy friends of three years, and we have now
been in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
For over five years. Dating someone that you only see
as a friend was scary at first, as navigating through
the changes can be challenging. Watching Jess and Nick's relationships
sometimes very much reminds me of mine and has taught
me a lot. As we got into our senior year,
my housing placement was very unfortunate, but he ended up
(12:29):
having a single room in his fraternity house. I ended
up spending the majority of my time there and was
the girl roommate to ten of my closest guy friends.
Yes you read that correctly, ten guys.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes, it was a lot, but no, I would not
trade that time for anything, because it was the most
part a great because for the most part a great
chaotic time. I connect with Jess on a spiritual level
living with that many men, and unfortunately none of them
or a roommate like Schmidt, my best guy friend in
(13:04):
the whole world, lived in that house, and one of
my fondest memories with this show happened with him. I
regrettably remembered I had a paper due the next day
at eight am, and I had not done my due
diligence on it. He was known to be quite the
night owl, so as I was working away in the
living room binging new girl, I decided to see if
(13:27):
he was up, and I wanted to help keep me up.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This fuck me?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Do you want me to take over? Now? It's the
meat of the story, all right, Gloria Gainer go on
will serve first.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
He was known to be quite the night owls, so
as I was working away in the living room binging
new girl, I decided to see if he was up
and wanted to help keep me awake. He immediately came
downstairs and asked me what I was watching. Within five
minutes of scrolling on his phone, pretending not to pay
attention to the show, I instantly. I instantly said, how
(14:08):
do you not know this show? And happily restarted it.
We ended up staying up until four in the morning,
an interesting decision only a senior in college with limited
time left could make, laugh, crying and enjoining each other's company.
To this day, whenever he comes to visit, we will
have this show on in the background as we catch
up on our lives. Some days we strictly communicate in
(14:29):
newgro gifts, one of my favorites being Schmidt's line, you
know what they call you where I come from? A
dirty old bitch.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't remember that one I do what do you know?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
AnyWho, my girlfriends and I all have sweatshirts that say
street youths on the front, and this is a horrible
neighborhood on the back. Schmidt, while being one of the
most infuriating characters, is my favorite to quote, so hence beginning.
So hence the beginning. Hey, if you are reading this
(15:01):
when he is visiting. If not, I am still pumped
to be on the pod. I have an hour two
community can well took me an hour to read this.
I have an hour to communicate every day at Listening
to YouTube makes the time fly. Thank you for doing
this podcast. I look forward to the episodes every week.
(15:21):
I don't have I don't have a good goosebumps walk
away because I don't have time to write twenty different
ideas down. So thank you for reading. Love youa Elizabeth
from Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I am signing off.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Take a nap. Do you know what I think this is?
This is what I think this is? It's she said
that she has an hour commute and so she just
left like a voice note that then transcribes into an
email and she sent it when she got home. It's
got me talked for the hour of like and then
this happened, and then I went to college, and then
I dated this guy. Because the guy she dated, we
(15:58):
got the whole backstory. We never heard from him.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't know anything about this guy anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We don't know. She's been with her for five years,
but she's watching the show with some other guy who's
like her best friend. I don't know. There was a
lot going on, Elizabeth from Wisconsin. But what I will
say is I know that you are a true fan
to write your PhD thesis on New Girl and send
it to us, and we appreciate that deeply. And the
(16:23):
fact that you got all of these guys in the
frat to pay attention to New Girl, which is a
great show. Oh yeah, for that age of men to watch.
It is fun and funny and shows how you can
live healthily with women. Appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Elizabeth. Leamourn has passed away and they'll never speak again.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, Elizabeth, listen, First of all, I love you and
thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Why would you make me do that?
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Elizabeth, Next time you send in a letter, just just
title at the top. Please don't have leamore and read
this one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, Once I get past like four sentences, my eyes
start to go what you're doing here? And readers aloud.
We remember at the end of each episode we say,
if you have a question comment, leave us a voicemail.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Oh see, that would have been great, Elizabeth. If this
was a voice memo and we could have played it
and listened to it, that would be your sweet.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Sweet, lovely voice.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Because also, tone is everything, yeah, because I'm like, yeah,
I don't know what your tone is, and certain things
a lot of punctuation and the wrong because here's the thing,
where's that part here? My maybe she was like my
best guy friend changes.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Who could be laying her down at night?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We don't know. We don't know, and so it's best
take this as as a as a as a note
to all of our listeners. Record a voice memo, send
it to us, or video he love to see you.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh, video would be great. A video would be great.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We'd love to see you. Then we know there's air
quotes going around these friends. And then Morn doesn't have
to read fifty pages.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You gotta sit. I feel like Floyd Mayweather reading a
Harry Potter book.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
You sound like your mouth is dry.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
It feels like it.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You know, I can see it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You know, even in the marathon run. In marathons, there's
somebody that gives them a cup of water at least
every mile.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Halfway through, just a cup comes in.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
That's something comes on a table read.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Your heels are bleeding. You just don't know why, you
just you just ran a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I can't close as it was like a table read.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
A little bit where you're just like cold reading and
you're just like, oh, where are we going?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Embarrassing for me, Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well, you gave us a good time, Elizabeth on the
back end, maybe not for reasons why you thought, but
this is why it's a great show in the lock
all right, last one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I had to begin. He was like, Lamurn, I'll you
take the first one so I could read the next one.
I'm like, yeah, but the one after that is a long.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Lamourn, what you have to read? This one? It's for you.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You can do it, okay, Damn, Lamurn, I didn't realize
you moonlight as the principal at my kid's school laughing
emoji on the real This man also frequents the same
coffee shop as me, and I do a double take
every time he walks in the door. What do you think?
Should I approach him one day and ask if he
knows he looks like Emmy Winner, Lamore and Morris.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Thanks for all the laughs, Alexa.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
This guy here, not only do I know him, I
think I've been tweeted this guy's picture.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Really I believe so this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Is like full doppelganger situation, Alexa.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I might ask him. I want to see. I want to, Alexa.
I am curious. I want to I do want to
follow up on this one. Do we have his name?
Do we have the kids school? Nothing?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
No, but we can respond. We have Alexa's email.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Alexa in the photo. It'd be so funny if she
blurred out her.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Own Facebook's like, it's not me.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You don't have the rights to show my face.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But give people in the picture. I just so it's
not confusing. It's this one. You look like this one.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We do do we kind of resemble each other a
little bit? I see it.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I see it.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
If you have, say the top three people that people
say that you look like, Michael.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
B Jordan, Idris Elba Andres Alba. Uh No, I get
Malcolm Barrett, who's an actor. Love Malcolm Adwin Brown, who's
also an actor, Adwin If you guys look him up,
Adwin Brof. You google Adwin Brown, my name might pop up.
(20:54):
I swear to you a d w i N.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Brown, Edwin Brokay.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Here you go, Oh okay, all right, Edwin Brown. And
I mean sometimes people mistake me for Jay Farrow. I
get that a lot. I get that a lot. I
think it's just because we're both funny people, and people
associate SNL with humor, so if they see me, they go, oh, funny,
(21:21):
always funny, they just go always SNL, they always, they
always do that. But yeah, the one I've been getting
a lot lately is Damnseon Indrius, just because I mean,
we're both we both have great accents and both sex symbols.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So I've been getting that a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Known for your humility or humbleness.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's something that something that the people desire.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Anyway, that's our show. What about you, Hannah, Who do
you get Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I've had two over the years, Kim Kardashian. When I
first moved to LA I also got Nicole Scherzinger back
in the day. It's all those ethnically ambiguous like girls,
Kamela alvas I got a bunch.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, Kamela Kabeo.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No no, I'm just joking, no no, but there's definitely
been a few where you're just like once, I'll never
forget this. I was in college. I was, oh, I
don't know whatever, I was like twenty years old and
took a cab from UBC my university and the cab
(22:35):
driver was silent the entire time, didn't speak a word,
and then dropped me off and he said to me
he was an Indian cab driver and he congratulated me.
So maybe I don't know what year this was, but anyway,
I just remember me. He graduated me for being a
bucheon now and he thought I was a shy Rai
(22:57):
and a Shwayerai is the most stunning human period and
the most at that time. I was also like the
most famous Indian woman in the world. It's just been
on Oprah, like teaching Oprah how to like rap a
sari or whatever. And I look nothing like I could
not look further from a she has like blue eyes,
like there's like we could not be further apart. But
(23:20):
I will never forget that this man who's took me
for her, and I was like, this is the greatest.
I mean, he must be fully blind.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
But other than not fully blind, I mean I could see,
I could.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
See the resemblance. I could I could see it a
little bit besides the eye color and the beauty.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I could see. I could definitely see it. But but yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's cool. All right, were your It's good to see
you again.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Hey, folks, that's our show.
Speaker 2 (23:57):

don't like to read past four sentences.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
That's right. If it's more than four sentences, flag it
at the top, say Hannah, you gotta take this one.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We need Hannah to read the stuff that with words
in it, especially words past seven letters.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Don't do that to me.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, it's too idyllic for him.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Idyllic. Oh my god, we.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Love you, Bay.
