Speaker 1 (00:19):
Just recapped one of the greatest episodes of all time,
Mars landing but being really hungover and making some bad decisions.
So I couldn't resist it. I couldn't resist embracing the
emotional center of that episode. Got shades on. I'm just
(00:42):
gonna be method acting my way through this whole thing,
just like well, fake method acting. I guess the opposite
of method acting because I'm drinking water. But I got
the shades on. We're getting a vibe going, is what
I'm gonna say. It's gonna be very difficult though, to
read the emails, so I'm gonna do my best with
these thick shades. Which it's so funny because all I
can think about now is that I am clean the
sunglasses before I put them on. I remember being on
(01:05):
vacation once my mom came to meet me so we
could do a little holiday together. I was like a
teenager and I was like, Mom, I'm a girl, and
she walked up and was like, oh darling, miss when
I said, oh god, your glasses all filthy, and she
was right, And that's what I'm thinking about. All right,
let's see you guys can call me up and be
like girl your glasses were filthy. It's a loft meeting.
(01:27):
Be laft meeting, laft meeting, laugh meeting. Y'all, roomies. We
have a voice note. Do you know how happy this
makes me? I love to hear your voice notes. It's
from Santaca. Okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Hey, Hannah, lamon. I'm the team at mess around Port.
My name is Sanaica and I'm based in England, but
I'm originally from India. I want to first start by
saying thank you for making this podcast happen. It is
such a joy listening to you all. Reminisce those memories
from New Girl. When I got introduced to the show
by my sister, I was going through a really bad breakup.
A New Girl came like such a rescue to my sadness.
(02:02):
It truly helped me get over all the complex emotions
I was feeling at the time. It's been six years
since then, but I still watched New Girl with the
same excitement as if it's my first time. Lemon, congrats
on your Emmy, So proud of you, so well deserved. Secondly, Hannah,
I wanted to share something with you. I'm so happy
to see someone representing South Asians on screen. I know
(02:23):
this has been discussed a lot in the podcast, but
I still wanted to mention it. The South Asian names
references was so spot on that I absolutely enjoyed every
moment of it. I got married last year, and we
two got married in a very unconventional Ceci and Schmid style.
I also wanted to tell you about this experience I
had back in Mumbai. I was in a restaurant for
a solo date and noticed a girl sitting beside me
(02:45):
alone as well. She told me she loved my bag
and that's how we started talking. She then told me
she's an American from Oklahoma and was a teacher back
there and is currently working in India because she loves
the culture. And then the most funniest thing happened. Her
name is Jess and she too isn't a hard fan
of New Goal. We spent three hours chatting with each
other and it was truly the most amazing and unexpected
(03:07):
day of my life. Shanna even said how we found
a jests and CC within each other. Anyway, here out
of the pictures of us, one with my wedding and
another one with Jess, we love you all so much.
Thank you once again for the series. It truly is
and always will be super special to me.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Sonaca. Oh my goodness, of course this is the episode
I've chosen to wear sunglasses to embrace what this week's
episode is about, just being hungover and making bad decisions.
And here I am in a meta situation where it
made a bad decision to wear these sunglasses. Because what
a story, What a story? How cool you met your Jess.
(03:47):
That's amazing. How cool that this show has helped you
through a breakup. Comfort shows are everything, as we know, right,
being able to put it on and have this chosen
family make you laugh, that's so great. And yeah, yeah,
I love that you had this unconventional wedding and you
got through that breakup and you realize that person wasn't
(04:09):
for you and you found your person. Your pictures are beautiful.
Oh what a beautiful wedding. Oh and I love this
picture of you and your real life Jess. How cool. Well,
I also love voice notes. It was so nice to
hear your voice. More voice notes people beautiful. I feel
it's very strange with these sunglasses on. I feel hungover
(04:33):
just wearing them. Something about wearing sunglasses in like a
darkish room is very funny, all right, Carly. Carly said,
I'm currently watching Brooklyn nine nine again and there's an
episode season three, episode fifteen, the nine to eight is
so what it says the nine eight? Do I say that? Right?
(04:53):
Chel Oh? From Brooklyn nine nine, I got your, I
got your, I got you. Where Damon Wayne's junior I
was like, we have no episode called nine eight, got it?
Gota gotta gotta gotta get it? Where Damon Wade's junior
guest stars as Jake Peralta's Is that who you say
his name? Very first partner Stevie Shillins. Since we know
New Girl in Brooklyn nine nine exists in the same
(05:13):
universe because of the crossover episode, does that mean that
Coach has a doppelganger that's a cop in New York?
What happens when Coach and May move to New York?
Just had to put it out there because I don't
remember Damon guest starring on Brooklyn. You guys are great, Carly.
Let me tell you, Carly, it is wonderful to me
when someone else points out how things don't exactly line up,
(05:36):
little plot holes, things that were overlooked or not addressed,
because that's exactly the kind of TV viewer I am.
I'm always like, this doesn't make sense. That's not even
possible because of X and Y, So you can't have Z.
I get it. I think you're right. It doesn't line up,
it doesn't match up. It wasn't thought through, you know
when they put that crossover episode together. I think it
(05:58):
was just a super fun thing they wanted to do
because they were such super FANSO New Girl and of
Brooklyn nine nine, and it was such a fun thing.
But yes, there were some issues and having it all
makes sense. So you caught one, Carly. It's good put
it up on the on the Reddit threads that call
out these issues, because I love it. Those are all
(06:19):
like little mysteries for us to solve or to acknowledge
they can't be solved because it just doesn't make sense, period.
End of Good job, Carly. I like that one. I
haven't heard that one before, so but now I won't
forget it all right? From Amanda in Missouri, My husband
(06:40):
and I recently visited a New Girl themed pop up
bar called New Bar. Wait Is this real? There's a
New Girl themed pop up bar called New Bar. Wait?
What where? How? What? Okay? I drank bro juice and
ate soft pretzels while wondering while wandering around the loft
(07:02):
complete with urinals, the Archduke, glass grapes and so many
great touches for lovers of the show. What type of
pop ups with the Gang of wanted to transform the bar?
Intwo love the pod Amanda in Missouri? Hold up? Where
is this bar? I know it's a pop up, but like,
where did it happen? How did nobody like take pictures
(07:25):
and like tag is on Instagram? They rebuilt like part
of the loft for this or like made it seem
like it was the loft. How I have to text
the cast and ask if anybody got tagged in a
New Girl bar pop up? That is so cool. That's
so nice that someone would even like love our show
(07:47):
that much that they would do that and give other
people that experience. Ooh, I see what they did. Very cool.
These gasses are filthy. Oh my gosh, how fun. I'm
down for it. Anybody else does any kind of recreation
thing for New Girl? Send it in? I love it.
I should do that kind of stuff all the time,
(08:08):
because I was like, oh, you know, just make it
into my favorite TV show and uh oh, I love it.
This is so cool. Okay, there's also a ps, Amanda,
you're bringing the goods. Very excited about this. Our dogs
are named Winston and CC after your characters get out
of town. Winston is loving, energetic, and has some strange
personality quirks, while Cec is the queen of side. I
(08:28):
love this, very stubborn, does not get easily excited, all
on brand. After a while, Winston wore CC down and
now she is his ride or die and loves what
he decides. It's time for a mess around. What look
at these pups? What so honored? Thank you so much.
(08:50):
This is wonderful. We couldn't have picked better namesakes if
we tried. I'm so I'm so into all of this, Amanda,
You're great, You're great, Thank you. This is all gold.
Huh so cool. All right, here we go. Oh this
one is for my mom. Oh dear, here we go. Hey,
Hannah and Hannah's mom. We all know Lamurn doesn't show
(09:13):
up for these loft meetings. Ooh, I just recorded one
with him. He does sometimes, you know, Nick Cage has
got him for the Loft meetings, but he'll be released
back to us. I promise, but we just did a
laft meeting together. But yes, for the most part, it's
me out here holding it down. That's true. Shame Jame.
I know your name very funny. That's good one. So
I figured I'd give a shout out to at least
(09:34):
two people. I know. It's hard to say, Hannah Nymanna's mom,
this is very funny. I wanted to record a voice
note descend in, but the sound of my voice and
recordings makes me want to vomit. So I figured I'd
write a message and said, you know, I just want
to say this before I dive in. I'm the queen
of voice notes. Lamurnoud be the first to tell you this.
(09:56):
I feel like I'm always runing around doing stuff, and
so to sit and compose a text just takes too
much time. But if I'm like walking around, I can
just like you know, dump my thought out or my
question out and then just send it off as a
voice note. And I would say nine times out of
ten from my friends and family, I get a text back,
and it makes me crazy because I'm like, well, just
(10:19):
you know, let me listen to it. And I have
to sit and read this text like I could just
press play and keep doing all this stuff in and
I realized. I asked a friend. I was like, why
don't you just like record it back? And they're like, oh,
it just gives me like a lot of anxiety, the
thought of like sitting there and then like I'm thinking
while I'm talking and pausing and then my voice annoys me.
(10:40):
And I was like, oh, heard fair, Okay, We'll do
what's comfortable to you. So I get it. I totally understand.
Even though I would have loved to hear your voice,
I understand you don't like the sound of how your
voice sounds on recording, so you made a better choice
for you. I am your friend, all right. First off,
(11:09):
I want to say, my name is Paul. Paul love
your choices so far, and I can always tell two
new girl fans by the way they respond to my
name Paul. I don't even know how to pronounce that,
And the way Schmid pronounces the name when he finds
out CC's going on a date with a guy named
Paul very funny. I have three questions for you, okay, Paul,
here we go. Question the first tags, are they filmed
(11:35):
at the same time as the rest of the scene,
or do you actually wait to the end of shooting.
I know in the Prince episode, you guys waited to
shoot the tag until the very end on the off
chance that Prince might decide to leave after getting to
work with you, which is all he wanted to begin with.
But when I watched the episode like X's for example,
there's a scene in the middle of the episode where
Schmid is describing all the different furniture for sexcapades, and
then the tag at the end is him going over
(11:56):
more of these. Can't imagine they were shot separately. Maybe
I'm wrong, not wrong. It was definitely shot at the
same time. So sometimes and I might be wrong on this,
but sometimes, like you know, they're just going through a
bunch of alt jokes or improv or something and that
can be used as the tag. And then sometimes the
(12:18):
tag was there with intention. So if it's a separate
scene carved out, then it'll be shot on its own,
like that Pingpong scene with Prince was a separate scene,
you know, scripted out, it had to be shot differently,
different setup and everything. But yeah, often if it's pulled
from something that you've seen in the episode it was
shot at the same time, so you're right. Question two
(12:40):
regarding the Bear Hunt, Ooh, No, one's asked me in
a while, but you know, I'm always thinking about it.
I'm a believer that's pausing that, and so am I. Though,
ever since you guys began the podcast and started the
Bear Hunt, I have been seeing slash hearing the word
bear everywhere on television and other shows and commercials, et cetera.
It's like the number twenty three all of a sudden,
and I hope you understand that reference. Of course, I
(13:02):
do phenomenal Jim Carrey movie said, you said me, Do
you think that's a coincidence? Or is the Bear Hunt
bigger than we realize?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Maybe after we do all the episodes of New Girl
and I do my big Bear Hunt recap, maybe this
is how the podcast evolves, right, just becomes the bear
Hunt of all TV shows and movies. Maybe this is
how I keep it going on, create a podcast called
(13:32):
the Bear Hunt. Maybe just gave me a job, Paul,
question the last I was born in ninety four, so
by nature, I'm incredibly nostalgic. Therefore, my most important question
for you is Backstreet Boys or in sync. I know
you're barely older. Paul's very kind, so maybe New Kids
on the Block. Oh, thank you guys so much for
(13:54):
this podcast. I hate that I'm all caught up now
and have to wait for new episodes, but always get
so excited when I see them. You guys are the
best buye for now. PS shout out to DJ Daniel
and Joelle for their amazing work on this podcast. All
the best to everyone who helps with this incredible show.
Moon walks out who Backstreet Boys or in sync? Here's
(14:16):
the problem. You just wrote Backstreet Boys are in sync
and my brain went back streets back all right, I mean,
I guess that's it. You know what else can I say?
I did love New Kids on the Block though, back
in the day, because you kind of had no choice.
(14:37):
They were everywhere. You kind of had to love the
New Kids. There was a song called Step by Step.
It was a very classic song and then on a
real listen you go like, wow, the bar was uh,
not so high, but it was fun. It was a
fun song at the time. Wow wow wow wow wow
wow wow. I'm gonna say Leamren has done this podcast
(14:59):
before with sunglasses, and I think he's done his other
podcast with sunglasses on, and I'm going to say it's challenging.
It's challenging. Also, look if I go up to the
light a little oh gosh, like so filthy. These are
very dirty sunglasses. Sorry mom. Alright, you guys, man. I
(15:24):
love these Loft meetings. Thank you so much. Plot holes
in there, authentic Indians, girls, slash Jess, friendships, great questions
about the bear Hunt and the tags. Loft Meetings. Please
keep sending these in. I live for them. I love them.
