Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hey, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi Hi, Hi, roomies,
we are calling a loft meeting. My favorite thing to do.
My favorite thing to do is to do these loft
meetings with you. And they don't exist without you. So
thank you for sending in your emails, your videos, your
voice nows, your photos, all your weird questions and theories.
(00:40):
That's what makes these loft meetings happen. Okay, first we
have an email from Laura. Hi, guys, I adore New Girl,
my first ever comfort show and the pod that helps
me get through the day. Well, that's nice writing in
for the first time. Is I feel super qualified to
help you with your question about adults dating when they
(01:00):
work in schools. My name is Laura. I'm from England
and have worked in a lot of different schools. Let
me tell you, oh, Laura, I feel this. Let meet juicy.
Let me tell you they are wild. It's worse than
high school stafford dating each other and sleeping together and
having affairs everywhere you look. It's a weird phenomenon, but
(01:21):
one that mostly stays hidden from students. I have been
saying this, of course. It is. It's like, you know,
teachers are like wonderful and caring and and young, and
they're put in this you know space where they're meeting
other young, caring adults. And if they're both single, I
mean it makes sense that teachers would end up with
(01:42):
each other. Keep saying this, Okay. I never really got
into any of that, but did meet my partner when
we both worked in a school. Our colleague set is
up and I met the love of my life. We
have both moved into different jobs, but for a while
I used to love going to work, even though it
was a horrendous job. Because of him. We would play
around in a non obvious way, share lunches, and stay
(02:04):
late to finish work together. He made every day so
special and I think it proved our love as I
would happily spend all day at home and work with him.
This is so sweet. We thought we were being super
secret and hid this, but then one day our office
haed men left a relationship disclosure form on our desks.
Apparently everyone knew. All we had to do was sign
(02:27):
a form declaring our relationship, what it was, how long
it had been going on. I can imagine this part
is awkward if you break up or don't know what
you are like coach. Yeah, are we dating? Are we not?
Are we just hanging out? What's going on? It's a
lot more common than you think. I know a lot
of staff who end up marrying each other. I hope
this help. Thank you for always bringing joy to my day.
(02:48):
Take care of Laura, Laura. This was very helpful. It
also was very validating because this is what I think
is happening in a lot of schools, and I'm okay
with it. I'm all right with it. I guess I'm
also only all right with it in this sense that
these are like true love relationship that don't in anyway,
(03:09):
you know, cause a teacher to be really upset seeing
their ex around school where they're also supposed to be
teaching children. So I can, I guess, get complicated if
I think it all the way through. But in my
romantic brain, it just seems lovely, all right. Our next
email is from Darcy. Hi, Hannah, I know you love
(03:29):
when cats and babies are named after New New Girl characters.
What about a bishop? What? I work for a Catholic church.
My former boss and good friend became a bishop a
few years ago. I was used to calling him a
far dave. I assume Friar does it for Friar Dave,
(03:52):
but I didn't know what to call him with his
new position. He insists on just Dave now that he's
not my boss. But I can't do that. Bishop Dave
feels weird and Bishop she doesn't want to say his
last name, so it's been redacted. Feels too formal for
a friend. So my husband suggested Davy the Bitch, and
(04:13):
it has stuck. He hasn't seen this show, but he
thought the name was fun. Oh my gosh, Davy the Bisch.
You gotta watch New Girl. You got to. There's not
a lot of bishes around. It's also a great nickname,
David the Bisch. What do you do a bishop? It
feels like Winston would lose his mind if he knew
(04:36):
that they were bishops now that were inspired by his nickname.
That would be like a Winston love thing in an instant.
I love this and I love this suggestion. This is
what I'm telling you, the power of television shows to
infiltrate into real life and to change and shift and
move things in different areas of the world and different workplaces.
(05:00):
Say that you would never think I would never think
that New girl would help to generate nicknames in the
Catholic church. I love this so much. Thank you, Darcy.
All right, this is from Marita from Brisbane, Australia. Hi,
(05:27):
Hannah and Lamore, and I was listening to an oldish
episode of the podcast the other day. By the way,
I love that. I love that people even go back
and re listen to the podcast, not just rewatch the show.
You like her episode so much? Thank you. It's very
sweet because we work very hard on them. I was
listening to an oldish episode of the podcast the other
day and Hannah mentioned that you see so many cats
(05:48):
named Winston come through, but rarely any CC cats. I
wanted to introduce to two or three year old baby Cecilia,
often pronounced Chia and a terrible Italian accent, just like
Schmidt in episode one. She is sweet, fun, resilient and loyal,
(06:09):
just like Ceci. Thank you for the show on the podcast.
I know you hear this a lot, but it truly
is a lifesaver for some people. Sincerely, Marita, Brisbane, Australia.
There's something about I've talked about this a bunch, which
is why you guys send it in, But there is
something about the naming of a baby or a pet
(06:29):
after the characters of the show, or like from us,
from actors, like there's Zoe Kats and Hannah Kats and
you know, you know Lamarne Dogs. It's very sweet. It's
a really wonderful thing that people have just connected to
the show so much and loved it, and that we've
become part of like the extended family, that they name
(06:52):
a family member after us. I don't think there's like
a greater honor that anybody could ever give. Anyone's very
very sweet, so I appreciate that. And there's a picture
she's like a snowy gray cat. I also love the
fact that you I think, I think this is what
you were saying, that you adopted her at three years old,
(07:14):
or maybe you got her when she was little and
named her because the show's been around for a while
named for Cecilia. Then I don't know if it's recent.
My my brother just adopted a cat that was one
years old. I always think it's nice when people adopt
cats that are a little bit older and give them
a home that's really lovely. I so appreciate you listening
(07:36):
to this podcast for participating in it. For sending in
videos and these pictures and telling us your stories. I
feel wonderful knowing that teachers are falling in love and
following their hearts. Just don't make it messy. Yeah. Thanks,
another great Loft meeting you guys. I appreciate it. I
(07:58):
appreciate you. Make sure you tune in every Tuesday for
a brand new recap. It's so funny La morning, and
I've been trying to record these recaps and I feel
like it's sometimes hard to understand is because we just
are laughing so hard. Season four has some crazy episodes
(08:18):
that we just totally forgot all about. Anyway, it is
really really funny. We have some great merch for sale,
as y'all know. At the mess around apod dot com.
You can grab yourself a it's a classic T shirt, hoodies,
we got ferguson shirts. We got you covered in all areas.
(08:40):
I wrap it all day, all day, and you can
follow us an ig at the mess Around Pod. You
can always DM us questions there if you have something
that you would really like to see. And you guys remember,
at the end of season four, I will do a
bear episode lamour and has not let me do the
bear segment anymore on this because it makes them crazy.
(09:02):
But I love looking for the bear, but I can't
do it without your help. So make sure you DM
as we go through these recaps for season four any
bear finds you have so that I am prepared to
make my case at the end of the season. All right, Phil,
thanks for listening to this loft meeting, and I'll catch
you next time. Bye. That was the mess around in

Additional production from Daniel Goodman, Wendy Heisler, and Kyle Shevron.
