Speaker 1: All right, hello and welcome to Welcome to our show.
Speaker 1: How is that? Was it sexy enough?
Speaker 2: Or too? Very sexy? Very sexy?
Speaker 1: So today we're talking about episode two O seven.
Speaker 2: Menzies, mensies.
Speaker 3: I've never heard that shortened term for menstruation, by the way,
Speaker 3: I have my mensies?
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard that before?
Speaker 1: I had heard it, but it's not something I had
Speaker 1: heard regularly. I'll admit to that. I definitely heard it,
Speaker 1: but it yeah, wasn't It wasn't commonly commonly used. Can
Speaker 1: I just say first of all that I happened to
Speaker 1: have the only scene I've ever shown my kids from
Speaker 1: New Girl is this puppy and a cup scene? And
Speaker 1: it happened to be like a few days ago before
Speaker 1: I even realized this is the episode we were doing today.
Speaker 1: And I showed it to them because they had found
Speaker 1: a picture of a Pomeranian and a cup and they
Speaker 1: were freaking out over how cut it was. And I
Speaker 1: was like, wait just a second, let me show you something.
Speaker 1: And it was really funny to watch them because they
Speaker 1: like got the comedy of the scene even though they're little,
Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of it was it was
Speaker 1: cool to.
Speaker 3: Say, you know, did they get sad when they realized
Speaker 3: that the puppy is dead?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, Charlie so little.
Speaker 1: His eyes were watering. Yeah, it was. It was really.
Speaker 1: I was like it and they were like, but it's fake, right,
Speaker 1: it's fake, right, that dog's totally alive. I mean in theory,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna say and it was just pretend and
Speaker 1: not real, and but yeah, it was. It was cute, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was cute. Yeah. So I love this episode,
Speaker 1: such a fun episode, and you know what, like it's
Speaker 1: probably going to be banned in Florida soon, so like,
Speaker 1: let's chat about it. Did you hear about this?
Speaker 2: What? Why?
Speaker 1: Guys? Apparently girls aren't allowed to talk about menstruation in
Speaker 1: school in Florida, like or this is this is like
Speaker 1: something that's being proposed right now. It's something that's being
Speaker 1: proposed that girls should not be allowed to talk about
Speaker 1: menstruation except in sex ad from like six to twelfth grade.
Speaker 1: But like say a girl starts menstruating before the age
Speaker 1: of eleven or twelve than their sol so because they're
Speaker 1: not allowed to talk about it. Not sure what harm
Speaker 1: can come from talking about menstruation, but.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't really I've never understood it at all.
Speaker 3: It's how we all are here on the planet because
Speaker 3: of this absolutely normal human bodily functioned Yeah, helps us
Speaker 3: create life period. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 3: it's so bizarre to ban what what? Yeah again, Oh
Speaker 3: my head hurts, it's bananas to me, But I digress. Well,
Speaker 3: I'm glad they we're gonna talk about mensies loudly than today.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about loudly and hope everyone in
Speaker 1: Florida is listening and hopefully this, uh, this proposed bill
Speaker 1: does not come to fruition. Yeah, but yeah, I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed getting to revisit this episode. It was written by
Speaker 1: Kim Rosenstock, directed by Jason Walliner. What do you remember
Speaker 1: about about this episode, Hannah?
Speaker 3: Honestly, when I rewatched it, I think so far in
Speaker 3: our podcast, this is the one that made me laugh
Speaker 3: out loud multiple times and caught me off guard because
Speaker 3: I had I had forgotten that all three of you
Speaker 3: and up in the water massage. Oh yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 3: just I started out like I died laughing with Jake,
Speaker 3: but when you're in there, I don't know. The way
Speaker 3: he was handling you was so funny. And then to
Speaker 3: put Lamarn in there in the tag, I just lost it.
Speaker 3: It was just such a funny running thing to squeeze
Speaker 3: in in twenty one minutes because.
Speaker 1: I was it was a random like. You know what's
Speaker 1: funny is it was kind of a random like. It
Speaker 1: feels kind of out of left field, but then it
Speaker 1: really works. But I guess, you know, now looking at
Speaker 1: it again, I'm just I'm kind of recalling that. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember this, maybe because you weren't
Speaker 1: in this part so you might not remember, but that
Speaker 1: the it had a different ending in the in the
Speaker 1: original table read, and they were trying to figure out
Speaker 1: the ending, and they added this whole Tran piece with
Speaker 1: the like water massage. At like part way through the week,
Speaker 1: they were like, Okay, we figured it out. It's a
Speaker 1: water massage. And I remember Jake was like, wait what
Speaker 1: because it does feel out of left field, but then
Speaker 1: you know what, it totally works and it introduces one
Speaker 1: of our favorite characters, Tran, and it's really a funny bit.
Speaker 1: So and you know what, I really enjoyed this episode
Speaker 1: because it's kind of an exploration of sensitivity and you know,
Speaker 1: like all of our emotional lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just there's a line that Jake says,
Speaker 3: we're he's has to take off his clothes, and then
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you cut to him in the
Speaker 3: water and he goes, this is a moment that cut
Speaker 3: away from me. And then you can see that on
Speaker 3: your face when it's happening, and then on the mourns
Speaker 3: when it's happening.
Speaker 2: Man, and we've all had those things. We're like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna surrender to the thing.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it, especially while all this like New
Speaker 3: age wou stuff that happens now and then sometimes you're
Speaker 3: just like, wait, what's happening here?
Speaker 2: I don't, I can't what's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a point at which you decide
Speaker 1: you're going with it or not. That's like I'm going
Speaker 1: with it, I'm going with it, and going I'm not
Speaker 1: going with it.
Speaker 2: I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 1: I got I mean, obviously Nick is like fully you know,
Speaker 1: buying you know fully fully buying into it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Should we just start to go through this episode like
Speaker 3: a little bet because there's so many parts of it
Speaker 3: that I was like, they're just so smart how they
Speaker 3: put this one together. And that's so much credit to
Speaker 3: Kim because she's super brilliant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the writers. She's the map.
Speaker 3: I also like went back and paused to see who
Speaker 3: wrote it because I was like, this better be a
Speaker 3: woman because there's a lot of like deep specifics about
Speaker 3: having your period.
Speaker 2: And yes, it was one of the best female writers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it starts off that you're broker, that Ess is
Speaker 3: broker than Schmidt, which is an all time loan Schmidt's.
Speaker 1: You mean broker than Nick?
Speaker 2: Oh, broker than Nick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm broker. Yeah, Jess is broker than Nick, which
Speaker 1: is like an all time low, and she can't pay
Speaker 1: the back gas bill, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's funny where he what does? He says, like,
Speaker 3: you're basically trying to use your period card to get
Speaker 3: out of, uh, stepping up to your responsibilities.
Speaker 1: Well, first they're asking her to pay money that she
Speaker 1: doesn't have, and then she's like kind of putting off
Speaker 1: getting a job a little bit, and then they kind
Speaker 1: of push her too far, and she admits, like, it's
Speaker 1: that time of the month and I'm not like feeling
Speaker 1: like you guys pushing me this hard. You know.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite lines in all of that is
Speaker 3: when Nick is going like, I don't think it's fair
Speaker 3: that women have an excuse once a month to act
Speaker 3: irrationally angry when the rest of us have to take
Speaker 3: it together all the time. Like I nearroly needed to
Speaker 3: go out and buy a fainting couch because I was
Speaker 3: because I forgot I don't have this, you know, episode
Speaker 3: memorized I don't know, and I was short of like,
Speaker 3: excuse me, if we're talking about anger issues. I don't
Speaker 3: think that the female of the species is the ones
Speaker 3: that people look at and think of that for and
Speaker 3: then Jess goes on a rant right back at him
Speaker 3: and says exactly that.
Speaker 2: So I come you act.
Speaker 1: Irrationally angry three hundred and sixty five days. Yeah, all
Speaker 1: the time, all the damn time. Nick calls Jess a
Speaker 1: ninny in this episode. Do you know what a ninny is?
Speaker 2: I don't know, like the word origin of ninny.
Speaker 1: I do. It's short for nincome poop?
Speaker 2: Is it really? Yeah? Nincompoops such a g It's a
Speaker 2: great word.
Speaker 1: You don't hear it very much. It's like a very
Speaker 1: old fashioned word.
Speaker 2: I like them.
Speaker 1: But what is an income poop?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What is it? Is it like a stick in the mud? Like?
Speaker 1: Is it a complainer? What is it like somebody who
Speaker 1: whinds a lot?
Speaker 3: I feel like if someone's an income poop, they're just
Speaker 3: being like a bit of a dummy. You're such an
Speaker 3: income poop.
Speaker 1: Let's see should I look it up?
Speaker 2: Look it up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up.
Speaker 2: Hang on, we're gonna bring it back.
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring it back. Let's find the exact say keep.
Speaker 3: It in my back pocket. And the next one we
Speaker 3: do with lemourn if he says something crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh you're right, it's a foolish or a stupid person.
Speaker 1: There you go, yeah right, yeah, but I know ninny
Speaker 1: is short for an income poop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great word, great word, great word.
Speaker 1: So Jess says the nick needs to be nice to
Speaker 1: her because she's pmssaying, and then she sort of describes
Speaker 1: what it feels like to be pmssaying. She feels like
Speaker 1: she's laid a mill eggs and they're all hatchets. She
Speaker 1: wants to murder someone and also eat a soft pretzel.
Speaker 1: That feels really accurate.
Speaker 3: Ye, you know, it was very accurate When she's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: Devil's in my belly. I was just and to be
Speaker 3: honest with you, I feel like, I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: know if you felt like this from a young age,
Speaker 3: but women have been taught to kind of now talk
Speaker 3: about it, hide it away, pretend it's never happening. It's
Speaker 3: not like girls are volunteering to talk about it.
Speaker 1: But it's okay. But it's not. It's not. It's so
Speaker 1: insane that you're not you're not supposed to talk about No.
Speaker 3: I remember being like pe in middle school and they're
Speaker 3: just like run a lap and I'm like I and
Speaker 3: you do yeah, or we have to get the nurse's
Speaker 3: office since yeah, all of it was just it's so
Speaker 3: bizarre that the world hasn't made any like adjustments for
Speaker 3: people that are just standing there bleeding once about that
Speaker 3: happens rarely, it happens often.
Speaker 1: Support somebody at all times, at.
Speaker 2: All times, at all times. I was really happy.
Speaker 3: I remember when we read the did the table read
Speaker 3: for this episode that I was like, Yeah, we should
Speaker 3: normalize this.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: Let this incredible woman who lives with three men say,
Speaker 3: let me paint a picture and.
Speaker 1: Let her inspire one of them to have his period too. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let him be inspired.
Speaker 3: He's like, like, the worst pain I've ever felt, it
Speaker 3: must be a period.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, listen, not it's not childbirth, but
Speaker 1: it's not pleasant.
Speaker 2: It's not as bad as childbirth.
Speaker 1: But it's not pleasant. Okay, Okay. So after this beginning scene,
Speaker 1: so basically Schmidt turns the gas off, and so they
Speaker 1: have no hot water, and so Jazz basically need to
Speaker 1: get a job so that she can get the money
Speaker 1: to get the gas turned back on and take a shower.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that feels like very base level, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's very motivating, like I'd be like, absolutely
Speaker 1: need to get a job.
Speaker 3: It's very motivating, but it's one of those moments where
Speaker 3: you're like, I don't know a world where Schmidt wouldn't
Speaker 3: have a hot shower.
Speaker 1: I think he's saying a shower at the gym, right, maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean that's what he's saying, A shower at the
Speaker 1: gym for sure, or his work, you know what.
Speaker 2: I mean, He's got to be doing something. Yeah, he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not missing out on on a on a hygiene.
Speaker 2: And basically for sure, there's no way, no, no.
Speaker 3: There's also that great storyline that goes on with him
Speaker 3: and the incredibly talented, wonderful car.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he has a great storyline with her, and
Speaker 1: she's like another awesome boss lady in the in the
Speaker 1: pray in the amazing uh new Girald tradition of Schmidt's bosses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, right, forgot about that. You're right, there's
Speaker 3: more to come. Yes, that felt like such like a
Speaker 3: left field thing, but I guess that was in the
Speaker 3: are you are you a good person or a bad
Speaker 3: person storyline that they're trying to figure out with Schmidt
Speaker 3: and CC even trying to shut it out.
Speaker 1: I like that kind of you know that when when
Speaker 1: you're like, am I I'm not. Like, it's like that
Speaker 1: CEC so identifies with being a bad girl, that she's
Speaker 1: like both of them. Do you know that that that
Speaker 1: CC kind of has to make peace with it to
Speaker 1: be with Robbie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember shooting that scene with Max on the edge
Speaker 3: of the bed, and the reason I remember it is.
Speaker 2: I sneezed.
Speaker 3: In the middle of this scene that we both struggled
Speaker 3: to take seriously because it's just like a weird thing
Speaker 3: to do, you know, to be like I'm bad, You're bad.
Speaker 3: It just like felt so weird to be like trying
Speaker 3: to really sell it or just like trying not to laugh.
Speaker 3: And then out of nowhere, he sneezed and it blew
Speaker 3: my bangs fully back and caught me so off guard,
Speaker 3: and I remember saying, oh my god, I just got
Speaker 3: a glaucoma test because it felt like it was just
Speaker 3: air like blew my eye open. It was the most
Speaker 3: aggressive sneeze, and I like, I still remember it to
Speaker 3: this day. And I watched that scene and I could
Speaker 3: see it be like it's either the beginning of whatever
Speaker 3: part of my coverage of some part of the scene,
Speaker 3: you could see like this weird smile in my face.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that must have been just after the sneeze.
Speaker 3: My eyes look like they're watering.
Speaker 1: It's funny, like a behind the scene thing I remember
Speaker 1: from this episode was that the day I shot that
Speaker 1: puppy in a Cup scene, I think it was the
Speaker 1: day after the Emmys and that I had gone and
Speaker 1: it's like they always have them on a Sunday, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is the punishment for actors, because if
Speaker 1: you're working, you have to go to work at like
Speaker 1: five am on a Monday, and if you want to
Speaker 1: like go and celebrate like at an award show, you're
Speaker 1: going to be out like lead than you should be
Speaker 1: to wake up at five am. And I was so
Speaker 1: tired that it like made it really easy to be
Speaker 1: emotional about the puppy in a cup. It was actually perfect.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, oh my god, how
Speaker 1: am I going to go to work today? I'm really tired.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, this is perfect. Use it.
Speaker 3: It was a great cry, Like you do sell that
Speaker 3: cry you feel.
Speaker 2: I was sad about the puppy in the cup.
Speaker 3: You can tell you can I know how much you
Speaker 3: love dogs, so it was you can really tell. And
Speaker 3: then when she says yes, she was, you just see
Speaker 3: this look in your eyes where you almost draw back
Speaker 3: like it's the best.
Speaker 2: So I understand why it lives in the meme world.
Speaker 2: It's so good memorable moments.
Speaker 1: I really liked that scene on the page was just
Speaker 1: really funny. It was just a really funny scene, such
Speaker 1: a well written scene. Anyway, I digress. I just figured
Speaker 1: I would I would share another memory. Okay, So in
Speaker 1: the park, Nick meets Tran played by ralph On Rip.
Speaker 1: We lost ralph On last year, I believe, and he
Speaker 1: was such a great addition to our New Girl extended
Speaker 1: cast members and we remember him fondly. I think this
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite guest stars we ever had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really interesting because as you watched that scene
Speaker 3: where they're just well or Nick is just chatting at
Speaker 3: Tran on the on the bench, you can I feel
Speaker 3: like I could pick out moments that it was Jake
Speaker 3: improvising because there's one line where he looks and goes
Speaker 3: and you can just hear Jake's like voice because he's like, Uh,
Speaker 3: are you just gonna nod and laugh at everything I say.
Speaker 2: He just said it in a way. Now, look, it
Speaker 2: may have been written on the PAE.
Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look at the script
Speaker 3: that was written or if it was an alt or something.
Speaker 3: But the way he said it was like he was
Speaker 3: clocking how Ralph was going to do the scene, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like where he's like, this is
Speaker 3: the character I'm created, and this is how I'm going
Speaker 3: to handle it, and Jake like clocks it as he's
Speaker 3: been doing Alt after Alton, line after line going on.
Speaker 1: I really that improvise a lot that at least like
Speaker 1: the episodes going forward with Tran, Like I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: there was a lot of improvisation because it's just like
Speaker 1: just because Trey and doesn't really talk, it kind of
Speaker 1: gives like this blank slate to Jake, And you know
Speaker 1: that's what's fun about it.
Speaker 3: I Mean it's interesting too because we say Tran, but
Speaker 3: he never confirms that's his name. Oh yeah, I guess
Speaker 3: just a look.
Speaker 1: And then next like that it's the fourth name he
Speaker 1: guesses too. He's like, is your name like Jim uh
Speaker 1: Scott John Tran. I'm like, wait a second, you you
Speaker 1: only went there, like four names that you came up with.
Speaker 3: Tran, Yeah, he never gave me some like audible confirmation
Speaker 3: or a high five. I wonder how many times Tran
Speaker 3: speaks a new girl, because he does say a line
Speaker 3: when a couple of.
Speaker 1: Lines, but I don't think I think they he says lines.
Speaker 1: But then I don't think they had him speak a
Speaker 1: lot later because I think they hit on what was
Speaker 1: really funny about that relationship. And it's just like Nick
Speaker 1: talking non stop and try and like just being silent
Speaker 1: is very like a fundy combination.
Speaker 2: It's such a funny bit.
Speaker 3: Like it's the only thing he says in this episode
Speaker 3: is you're a huge baby. I was like, if that's
Speaker 3: the only thing he says in this series, that's the
Speaker 3: funniest shit ever. If that's the only time we hear
Speaker 3: him speak, I feel like he says one thing at
Speaker 3: some point later in episodes. I guess we'll find out
Speaker 3: as we watch, but yeah, whack me up. I'm like,
Speaker 3: if that was your one line of this series.
Speaker 1: It was a huge baby, and it was one point, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Have diagnosed this man.
Speaker 1: Welcome sho Okay, So Schmidt is falling for the vice
Speaker 1: president of his company, please buy Carla Gagino. But what's funny?
Speaker 1: I think in this scene with Schmidt, she makes him
Speaker 1: sign like a crazy contract so that they can have
Speaker 1: like a sexual relationship, I think. But let's see, here
Speaker 1: are some things involved in the contract. Party A absolves
Speaker 1: Party B of any psychological trauma, whether temporary, permanent, future,
Speaker 1: or imagined. Possible exposure to lead. Pete, do you have
Speaker 1: a latex allergy? Guaranteed mercury poison.
Speaker 2: That's what made me laugh.
Speaker 1: Guaranteed. Yeah, some really funny stuff with Schmidt and Emma
Speaker 1: in this episode.
Speaker 3: There's like such a new girl thing of like character
Speaker 3: writing that happens in this episode that I love is
Speaker 3: that this could have so easily just been like a
Speaker 3: one dimensional, you know, sex dominate trix boss and that
Speaker 3: could have been it for this storyline. But at the end,
Speaker 3: when she's like tying him up, he sees that she's
Speaker 3: struggling and then calls her out on it being her
Speaker 3: first time, and you just watch Carla like have this
Speaker 3: real moment of vulnerability and it's to save herself in it,
Speaker 3: And I feel like that's why this show people responded
Speaker 3: to it. With this there's always just like this little
Speaker 3: bit of heart. There's always like this little bit of
Speaker 3: just being a real person who doesn't have it all together,
Speaker 3: as opposed to making her this flat character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could have ended like that, and I loved it.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, then he kin it was her text her in
Speaker 3: the moment. It's a sweet, tiny thing. But I don't know,
Speaker 3: I thought it was really sweet in the writing.
Speaker 1: It's funny because you Anne Schmidt are going through like
Speaker 1: opposite things, Like he's being pushed to like the like
Speaker 1: like edgy or side of himself and you're being pushed
Speaker 1: to the more like wholesome side of yourself.
Speaker 3: Right, And I think what eventually happens is we realize
Speaker 3: we can't live in either of those extremes. Just being
Speaker 3: seen as like the good girl and just being good
Speaker 3: that's hard. Yeah, that's actually hard thing to live up to.
Speaker 3: And then he discovers you know that for himself eventually too,
Speaker 3: that just being like the bad boy doing the crazy things,
Speaker 3: that's a hard world to just stay in all the time.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, So speaking of bad, Schmidt turns the gas
Speaker 1: off in the apartment, and what's funny is that he
Speaker 1: just like, look, I should know this, but like at
Speaker 1: the it's like he just turns the gas off and
Speaker 1: then at the end he just turns it back on.
Speaker 1: Is that like even a thing like very weird?
Speaker 2: Somebody have to do that?
Speaker 3: Like he makes the phone call. Remember when he's calling
Speaker 3: and he's like thanks Denise, Thanks Denise, And he's getting
Speaker 3: it turned off, so he makes a phone call to
Speaker 3: get it turned away.
Speaker 1: Turn it back, turning it back on. Isn't he like
Speaker 1: turning some kind of a switch or something. I'm like,
Speaker 1: does Schmidt like work for the gas company?
Speaker 3: Now? Like I think he's just turning the faucet, right,
Speaker 3: I think that's what was happening, Like he's got to
Speaker 3: turn back on. They're doing a ceremonial thing and he
Speaker 3: turns the facet and then they have to wait whenever
Speaker 3: it was six to ten minutes for the water to
Speaker 3: kick in.
Speaker 1: Did we did we jump around? To jump around? Like
Speaker 1: more than once on New Girl? I have multiple memories
Speaker 1: I feel like of jumping like that that song it.
Speaker 3: Did feel familiar, but I didn't know if it was
Speaker 3: from this. But I don't feel like I've watched the
Speaker 3: ending of this episode more than like when it first
Speaker 3: came out and then.
Speaker 1: I was jumping around with Damon at some point and
Speaker 1: I'm like, was that just like like so, I'm like
Speaker 1: that had to have been like later, because like Damon
Speaker 1: wasn't in the episode, and like he wasn't in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: Like I remember being in the bathroom with Damon like
Speaker 1: jumping around, and I'm like, what is that a creative memory?
Speaker 1: Did somebody just like play that on set and we
Speaker 1: were just being stupid jumping around, you know what?
Speaker 2: I do think that happened for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well sometimes people would play like music on set, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you would get Yeah, we definitely got late night zoomi'es
Speaker 1: a lot because we were there all the time. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Schmid turns off the gas, which means no one
Speaker 1: can take a shower, and everyone is mad. Everyone has
Speaker 1: their periods now, and now Jess has to go to
Speaker 1: a meeting, you know, and then Nick is mad, and
Speaker 1: then Winston gets his period, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he calls it a sympathy period.
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, they talk about it with
Speaker 3: pregnancy that oh, you know, you're partner can get like
Speaker 3: sympathy pains yea, And that to me is totally insane.
Speaker 1: Well, I think usually it's like the partner can gain
Speaker 1: weight with the because there's more food being consumed.
Speaker 3: I've had friends tell me that they're like, he's complaining
Speaker 3: to me that his like lower back hurts like sympathy
Speaker 3: pains in the pregnancy, which I'm like, it feels like
Speaker 3: that should be on that show, like The Hundred Dumbest
Speaker 3: Ways to Die, Like, don't tell a pregnant one that
Speaker 3: you're yeah, you're fine. So when he talks about having
Speaker 3: a sympathy period and you're actually having your period, I
Speaker 3: feel like Jess's response was very tempered and ballid.
Speaker 1: What what did I say? I said something like, don't
Speaker 1: steal my menzies. Yeah, I said, like, don't don't steal
Speaker 1: my shit or something.
Speaker 2: Right though, Right, it's like, you're men, you have all
Speaker 2: these other things. Don't take you don't take my one thing.
Speaker 1: But then it feels like at a certain point then
Speaker 1: they're like experiencing things together.
Speaker 3: Well, then they bond over it because that is the
Speaker 3: one thing when you're feeling emotional and hormonal, it's nice
Speaker 3: to have.
Speaker 1: Someone else who feel the same way.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: She's like, all right, I'll take it if you're gonna
Speaker 3: sit here and open up and be a real human
Speaker 3: with me.
Speaker 2: Fine, call it what you want, let's do it together.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Jazz goes to the meeting, uh the job
Speaker 1: interview after not getting a shower, and then has the
Speaker 1: be mimable puppy and a cup moment. Have you ever
Speaker 1: had a dog in it or just cats?
Speaker 3: We rescued a dog when we lived in Cyprus once,
Speaker 3: a little German shepherd and I named her Zipper, and
Speaker 3: that's cute.
Speaker 2: She was very cute.
Speaker 3: And we had three rescue stray cats at the time
Speaker 3: that were like old street alley cats and they were
Speaker 3: so mean, and so the poor Zipper because we were scared.
Speaker 2: The Zipper was a German shepherd.
Speaker 3: So we're like, oh gosh, you have three cats at home,
Speaker 3: and we got it backwards. Those cats were like terrorized
Speaker 3: this little puppy.
Speaker 2: Uh oh.
Speaker 3: But thankfully I think Mike, my uncle, ended up. I'm
Speaker 3: taking Zipper and it was all fine. But that's the
Speaker 3: that's the only dog. My family moved countries.
Speaker 1: You hate dogs, what's your deal?
Speaker 3: No, we just moved countries all the time, and so
Speaker 3: we just never had hang But dogs can't. Like, well,
Speaker 3: we had the cats and I feel like I don't
Speaker 3: cats in Cyprus, but I didn't have them in like
Speaker 3: India or in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2: We didn't have them.
Speaker 1: Grown up, you have cats.
Speaker 3: I lived in apartment buildings where you could have a
Speaker 3: small cat, right. I love the three, so I know
Speaker 3: I won't tell I.
Speaker 2: Stuck them in. I was like, is anyone counting bodies
Speaker 2: up here?
Speaker 1: It's like it just anybody, and like this is a
Speaker 1: really small cat who hides all the time, and it's mean.
Speaker 3: I mean the apartment that we lived in in Cyprus
Speaker 3: where we had the three alley cats and we had
Speaker 3: Zipper the dog. We also at one point it had
Speaker 3: like guinea pigs in the bathtub.
Speaker 2: We had Bunny.
Speaker 3: Like I love animals, Like I could live on a
Speaker 3: farm with a thousand animals.
Speaker 2: I would be so happy bring them all.
Speaker 1: I don't want to take care of a thousand animals.
Speaker 1: But it's funny because I actually I really want a cat,
Speaker 1: but I've never had a cat. I love.
Speaker 2: We have been talking about this since I met you.
Speaker 2: Could you want it? Astonish Folds?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Now I love cats.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I think they're so cute and they're so like I
Speaker 1: like their personalities that they just don't care what you
Speaker 1: think of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're pretty easy going little kiddies. Yeah, well maybe
Speaker 3: you never know, could be in your future.
Speaker 1: No, no, well yeah, my kids want a cat, so
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll get one. They started asking
Speaker 1: for another dog, but we already have a dog, and
Speaker 1: you know, dogs are a lot more work than cats.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, how about a cat?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: How about a cat? Yeah? Well no, not no goldfish
Speaker 1: because they're like they just there's a lot of turnover
Speaker 1: life turn swing dying and it's very disappointing. Every fish
Speaker 1: I ever had died like in a week, and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, what did I do?
Speaker 2: True, that's true. Let's reduce the trauma. Get a cat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get a cat. Cats. Cats want to live.
Speaker 2: Speaking of swimming around in a very small.
Speaker 3: Uh huh water space, yeah, I wasn't there when you
Speaker 3: guys did this crazy water massage thing.
Speaker 2: What do you remember of it? Where was it? How
Speaker 2: weird did it get?
Speaker 1: I want to say, where were we? Was like one
Speaker 1: of these places? Like because we shot on the Fox
Speaker 1: lot in La. So whenever we had we shot on
Speaker 1: a location, it was like some where close by. I
Speaker 1: think we were shooting like maybe in a you know,
Speaker 1: a hotel like chacuzi or something like something like that
Speaker 1: indoor thing that was close by their a bunch of
Speaker 1: hotels near Fox. I can't remember exactly where it was.
Speaker 1: I just know it was like an indoor chacuzzi, you know,
Speaker 1: hot tub thing. I still have the swimsuit that was
Speaker 1: my own personaluit. Oh do you It's a really flattering swimsuit.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm like, I still have it. And it's
Speaker 1: funny because I even weren't when I was pregnant because
Speaker 1: I could put it on like underneath my giant pregnant belly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I still I mean, I I look, that's
Speaker 1: a great swimsuit, great swimsuit, and uh yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I remember. I remember that my they had
Speaker 1: a couple of things where my stunt double was being
Speaker 1: like flipped really hard. They were like wanted him to
Speaker 1: flip me really hard. So my awesome stunt double came
Speaker 1: and and Monica Broninger, she came in and doubled me
Speaker 1: for those more violent moments, and she was always an
Speaker 1: incredible addition to my character, helping me make those moments funny.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean I do remember. It was like
Speaker 1: one of those things we were having. We were like
Speaker 1: kind of figuring stuff out in the moment, though, you know,
Speaker 1: there was like it was a little bit because that
Speaker 1: kind of part was written very last minute. There was
Speaker 1: a little bit of like on the day figuring, you know,
Speaker 1: like where we were figuring stuff out on the day,
Speaker 1: and that was like one of the most fun things
Speaker 1: about the show I think was like you know that
Speaker 1: we had those opportunities.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a moment I think with you where he's like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I touch a boob.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch the boob because
Speaker 4: he's grabbing and moving you around, and you have that
Speaker 4: you could feel it when you're watching it where you're
Speaker 4: like nobody really knows really what they're doing in this scene,
Speaker 4: which is why it's so funny, Like how far do
Speaker 4: you go?
Speaker 3: How hard is he going to try to really move her?
Speaker 3: And how much is she going to resist and go
Speaker 3: like stap like we're not.
Speaker 1: When Tran does it with him, he's like super gentle,
Speaker 1: and then when Nick does, he's just like a total maniac,
Speaker 1: like that's not that's not water massage that's like that's
Speaker 1: like forced like water acrobatics.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a moment when it's when Winston is
Speaker 3: doing it in the tag where because I know our
Speaker 3: show well enough to know it probably it was probably
Speaker 3: going on for a little longer than it needed to go.
Speaker 2: And it's often the actors who would.
Speaker 3: Go like, I think I think we're being you know,
Speaker 3: dunked in the water a million times.
Speaker 2: But they end the episode with like some.
Speaker 3: Really crazy movie move happening on Lamar and then you
Speaker 3: like just like swimming off to the ladder, like walking
Speaker 3: off to the ladder, And I was like, I feel
Speaker 3: like that might have been Zoe being like, I think
Speaker 3: we're you guys, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1: Well, also, I feel like we're just like running out
Speaker 1: of ideas. That's how many funny things left to do here. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't feel that Lamarn loves the water. Is that right?
Speaker 1: He's not into Like he's not not that's not his
Speaker 1: happy place. I don't think.
Speaker 3: No, I'm curious when he's gonna drop is this voice
Speaker 3: note to talk about his take on the episode. I
Speaker 3: think that there were things that were challenging. I think,
Speaker 3: and wait, wan was the water and the other was
Speaker 3: having your period.
Speaker 1: It's like water and cats or his like water Cats
Speaker 1: not happy Place, and being.
Speaker 2: A man with a period.
Speaker 3: It was yeah, it was yeah, yeeah, it's a I
Speaker 3: think that was tricky because there's a moment in the
Speaker 3: beginning of the episode where Winston tells Schmidt, I have
Speaker 3: you can't laugh, I'm gonna tell you have my period.
Speaker 3: And there are moments where I see Max trying to
Speaker 3: Max's face not Schmidt. It's like we're trying to hold
Speaker 3: it together but enjoying the fact that Lamourn is to
Speaker 3: give this speech about why he thinks he has a.
Speaker 1: Period, and lamar like, really, I was actually like looking
Speaker 1: for like in Winston, I was like looking for the
Speaker 1: break of like Lamarne like being annoyed that he had
Speaker 1: to pretend to have his period. But I didn't see
Speaker 1: it at all. So like, that's off to Lamar and
Speaker 1: yeah for keeping it professional. But I don't think this.
Speaker 1: I don't think like, I don't know that any guy
Speaker 1: really likes to pretend to have their period. But you
Speaker 1: know what, sorry, we uh we all have to deal
Speaker 1: with it, us ladies, you know. So uh, it's just
Speaker 1: like I don't feel so bad for you guys, like
Speaker 1: having to deal with it for like a few I.
Speaker 3: Mean, yeah, I do think it's a nice moment at
Speaker 3: the end though, when he basically says like, oh, I
Speaker 3: just like I miss Shelby and you realize like, oh,
Speaker 3: this pain in him hurt so bad and is making
Speaker 3: him feel angry and emotional and he's starting to relate
Speaker 3: to all the things that just the same. He deils
Speaker 3: that he thinks that that you know, I don't know
Speaker 3: he can relate.
Speaker 2: To it so deeply. Yeah, he just needed a word
Speaker 2: for all the feelings. And it was the.
Speaker 1: Period and now did you find a bear? Here?
Speaker 2: Now it's time for Where's the Bear?
Speaker 1: Where's the Bear?
Speaker 2: Where's the Bear is brought to you by Hyundai. When
Speaker 2: it comes to your journey, Hyundai is thinking of every mile. Uh.

Speaker 3: thanks to my friends who are on the same bear
Speaker 3: quest as me, Oh there is a framed a Teddy
Speaker 3: Bear in your interview scene, Thank you, smash.
Speaker 2: So I felt very relieved.
Speaker 1: Where's the Bear?
Speaker 2: We found it.

Speaker 3: this for the series because I'm that kind of person
Speaker 3: where I'm watching something and my mind can go on
Speaker 3: little tangentile you know, yeah tracks, and it keeps me
Speaker 3: focused because I'm trying to solve a mystery the entire
Speaker 3: time I'm watching.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't remember anytime I'm rewatching any of
Speaker 1: these episodes until we're talking about it, and to ask
Speaker 1: Cana about the bear, I'm just glad it's not me

Speaker 1: any like Robbie memories or right.
Speaker 2: The scene that we do in the bar.
Speaker 3: With Nelson and Max and myself, it was just Nelson
Speaker 3: Franklin is as everybody knows. I mean, he's been on
Speaker 3: the podcast now and they know him from all of
Speaker 3: this his wonderful work.
Speaker 2: But he's just like the most lovely person and.
Speaker 3: Not a better feeling than when you look at the
Speaker 3: call sheet and see who's coming into work that day
Speaker 3: and it's just someone who's just gonna make.
Speaker 2: The day better.
Speaker 3: And the moments in between takes and in between scenes,
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna have like a good chat and
Speaker 3: catch up and they just make you feel really good.
Speaker 3: So I just I can see, I can I know
Speaker 3: myself well enough to see this like an ease in
Speaker 3: my body, you know, to be like my friend Nelson's here.
Speaker 2: So that was so nice.
Speaker 3: And it's just amazing how those people that we like
Speaker 3: connected with and became such good friends with are the
Speaker 3: ones I feel like that stayed in the series and
Speaker 3: just kind of got woven into the New Girl world. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and he's you know, one of the first of those,
Speaker 3: and which is great. And then yeah, and then trans
Speaker 3: in this too, that character. Yeah, there's a like introduction
Speaker 3: right here in the beginning I feel like of our
Speaker 3: show where so many people stuck around and it was
Speaker 3: the good ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was an introduction of a lot
Speaker 1: of good characters. I mean, he was Nelson wasn't introduced,
Speaker 1: but in this episode that was nice to have him yeah.
Speaker 2: Season two, they kind of fit. They started to build
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: Out season Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was awesome.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we're gonna take a break, and after we
Speaker 1: take a break, we're gonna do True American.
Speaker 3: Guys as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're back and it's time for True Americans. Regular
Speaker 1: listeners know that we've switched up the game a little
Speaker 1: bit when we have a guest on the show, so
Speaker 1: now we try to get the truth of their experience
Speaker 1: on the show. We don't have a guest, but we
Speaker 1: have Hannah and me. In this episode, Nick visits a
Speaker 1: spa for what is likely to be the first time
Speaker 1: in his life. He enjoyed the soaking tub. What's the
Speaker 1: best spa treatment for beginners? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Here's what I will say. I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 2: a regular spa goer, but I have had I had.
Speaker 3: A couple awkward incidents and have taught me that when
Speaker 3: you go to a spa to be really specific.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you want to be able to relax.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember someone got me a massage one of
Speaker 3: my first ones or whatever, and I went and they
Speaker 3: were like, would you.
Speaker 2: Like a male or a female?
Speaker 1: You know, and you're like, I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't care, Zoe is what I said. I said,
Speaker 3: I don't care, and in walked. And I can say
Speaker 3: this because it's all the men in my family are
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: A very.
Speaker 3: Uh hairy all the way down to the knuckles man,
Speaker 3: and all I could feel on my body the entire
Speaker 3: time was just a bear rug being rugged all over.
Speaker 2: And I did not enjoy it.
Speaker 3: It wasn't for me for a lot of people, but
Speaker 3: I think need to be exfoliated by my body hair.
Speaker 3: Then I never turned to sit up really quickly to
Speaker 3: be like I forgot. I had a meeting though, and
Speaker 3: I did it in a way where I turned my
Speaker 3: head out of the thing that you would rest your
Speaker 3: face in and cricked my next heart that I need
Speaker 3: a massage.
Speaker 2: So you learn your lasson just what will feel good
Speaker 2: to you. Be specific.
Speaker 1: I think a good like first spaw treatment is a manicure.
Speaker 1: Nice a manicure, And the first thing like because pedicure,
Speaker 1: it's ticulary.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's true.
Speaker 1: The first time I had a pedicure, I couldn't stop laughing.
Speaker 1: I was like laughing hysterically and it was really embarrassing
Speaker 1: and I'm like and and uh so, so you need
Speaker 1: to ease into and massage that. Sometimes they get up
Speaker 1: in your bits and it's a little bit You're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that's good, a bit familiar, you know. So uh you know,
Speaker 1: I think first start with the manicure. It's pretty safe.
Speaker 1: It's not tickling, they're not getting up in your bits,
Speaker 1: and and uh you know. The only advice I have
Speaker 1: is make sure you're going to a place that's like
Speaker 1: extremely like clean and sanitary. That's right, because I was
Speaker 1: like one time I was like at a at a
Speaker 1: place and I watched the person like put like a
Speaker 1: tool like for a manicure on the floor, and I
Speaker 1: was like no, no, no uh floor no no no
Speaker 1: no uh uh.
Speaker 2: No thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like no thanks. Luckily they weren't doing me.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, I won't be going back
Speaker 1: to this place because like no. Yeah. So anyway, go
Speaker 1: to a super clean place for a manicure and you
Speaker 1: will hopefully and it.
Speaker 3: And bring bring company if you go for a manager break,
Speaker 3: someone you want to have a good old chat with,
Speaker 3: that's nice.
Speaker 1: I totally agree, because like you can't it's like you
Speaker 1: can't use your hands to like, you know, scroll through
Speaker 1: your emails or whatever and so, or if you don't
Speaker 1: have someone to chit chat, listen to this podcast.
Speaker 2: That's right, let us be.
Speaker 1: Let us be your butt. Bring your earphones and catch
Speaker 1: up on Welcome to Our Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't get up in your bits.
