Speaker 1: All right, okay, we're having a loft meeting. You guys,
Speaker 1: you know the drill. You send in your questions, your concerns,
Speaker 1: your theories, and we address them right here on the
Speaker 1: loft meeting.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Hi, Hannah and Lamore, and my name is a Parna
Speaker 1: and I am a huge fan of both New Girl
Speaker 1: and the pod. I've been watching and listening to both
Speaker 1: since their inception. I too use New Girl as a
Speaker 1: comfort show. I rewatch it so much I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: say my family rolls their eyes when they hear the
Speaker 1: intro or when I make a New Girl reference in
Speaker 1: everyday conversations to Hannah. I was so excited to finally
Speaker 1: see Indian women represented in such a cool way. I
Speaker 1: grew up in the States and never saw Indian women
Speaker 1: on TV. CC is such a badass, and I appreciated
Speaker 1: that she's American. Growing up, people always question my nationality,
Speaker 1: but Americans can be brown people. Thank you for your
Speaker 1: performance of CC. I definitely wish I had a CC
Speaker 1: in my life, and Hannah, if we ever hung out,
Speaker 1: I'd be down with some wine and puzzles. Bonus points
Speaker 1: if it's a New Girl Meseronne puzzle hint, hint too,
Speaker 1: lo morn. I'd regret it if I didn't say to
Speaker 1: you showed me what that thang do?
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Your performance of Winston was so funny, even beyond the
Speaker 1: popular lines people quote. Sometimes it was just a look
Speaker 1: you would give that would crack me up. And I
Speaker 1: love that Winston found Ali. I can't wait to hear
Speaker 1: your recap of your time with the scene pajad Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: I have some questions. My first is to both of you,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite type of music? I realized it might
Speaker 1: be passe, but with huge music stars like Prince and
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift on the show got me wondering what the
Speaker 1: two of you listened to. And finally, I was rewatching
Speaker 1: the episode Cruise, episode twenty three of season three. At
Speaker 1: the end of there's a picture of the group after
Speaker 1: being locked up for days in the cabin. My questions
Speaker 1: are about how Cec is looking at Schmidt. What was
Speaker 1: the direction for that shot? Why do you think Schmidt
Speaker 1: brushed it off instead of pursuing Ceci right then? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I love how Cec chases after Winston as he teases
Speaker 1: her seriously. I love the friendship between them. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: sign off, but thanks so much for your time. A
Speaker 1: new girl and an extra thank you for this podcast.
Speaker 1: Loved you both. A Parna from Tucson, Arizona.
Speaker 4: It's it's.
Speaker 1: I've only known arpanas orpanas.
Speaker 4: Whatever it is.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful and a lovely, beautiful note that she wrote
Speaker 3: to us to Shotty what that thing do line?
Speaker 4: It's so near and dear to me?
Speaker 3: I uh I wrote that in an episode or I
Speaker 3: improvised that one of the two.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for I can't wait for our recap
Speaker 3: within the scene as well. I haven't talked to her
Speaker 3: in a little bit. People will stop. People are starting
Speaker 3: to wonder if we broke up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, your favorite type of music, hip hop.
Speaker 4: Is my numeral? Who know hip hop?
Speaker 3: I'm a Lil Wayne guy. I love Lil Wayne. Drake
Speaker 3: is dope, and you know I like some old school
Speaker 3: hip hop as well.
Speaker 4: Wu Tang do you tang?
Speaker 1: I feel like there's like an like a divide now,
Speaker 1: like can you listen to Kendrick and Drake?
Speaker 3: Well, I think people who try to make it so
Speaker 3: divisive are stupid. I hate people all the time when
Speaker 3: I say like, oh, Drake. Then Drake's all like, you
Speaker 3: still mess with Drake? And I go, he didn't do
Speaker 3: anything to me to his music, Like what are you
Speaker 3: talking about? Are you really letting this get to you
Speaker 3: and your spirit? That two rappers, two guys worth one
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars up, that are just having the time
Speaker 3: of their lives are engaging in a rap battle that
Speaker 3: made them both crazy amounts of money, and you're upset.
Speaker 3: You're at home, upset at the idea that I still
Speaker 3: listen to Drake. I think those people are absolutely I
Speaker 3: will say.
Speaker 1: I turned up in Canada and I first song I
Speaker 1: played is Hotline Thing.
Speaker 4: So I mean, Drake is one of your own too.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You gotta represent Drake. Love
Speaker 3: Kendrick though. I mean, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3: The guy is a genius and I love his music.
Speaker 3: But also like Drake, and I'm allowed to do so.
Speaker 2: This is a fact.
Speaker 1: This is a fact.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but there is a divide to the idiots.
Speaker 3: If you're not a member of Drake's camp or Kendrick's
Speaker 3: camp and you have a problem with each other, then
Speaker 3: you're an idiot.
Speaker 4: Sure, you're an idiot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not talking about you at their dinner table.
Speaker 3: Yeah, relax.
Speaker 1: What do I like to listen to?
Speaker 4: Gangster gospel?
Speaker 1: Not gangster gospel? I it's honestly just depends on the day,
Speaker 1: and like the mood I'm in, I'll listen to anything.
Speaker 1: And I always have like a specific song usually I
Speaker 1: want to listen to depending on the day, the mood
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm like, I know, and I always go
Speaker 1: to music first. I can't drive in silence. That's insane
Speaker 1: to me. So I need music. And it'll just depend
Speaker 1: if I having a good drive home or not. Am
Speaker 1: I doing like a you know, like a bonnie Ver
Speaker 1: kind of like playlist just to get that kind of
Speaker 1: vibe going? Is that nice? We're doing that? We're going
Speaker 1: like old school Lilith Fair and I'm just like mad
Speaker 1: scream singing from the nineties. We're doing that. Or we
Speaker 1: get some TLC and some Bell Bivdevo going, or you're
Speaker 1: just gonna just like bounce around in the car all
Speaker 1: the way home, Like I don't know, depends on the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel you because I do. Like on the plane,
Speaker 3: I don't really listen to hip hop that much. Right
Speaker 3: when I'm on the plane when I'm mellowing out, it's
Speaker 3: like it's Cage the Elephant, is Young the Giant.
Speaker 4: It's music like that that I like.
Speaker 3: To sure, like the Cage the Elephant. The Neon Pill
Speaker 3: album I think is fire.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen to it when we get off this rewatching cruise. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I have to address this, right, The question is
Speaker 1: CC looking at Schmidt was the direction for the shot?
Speaker 1: And why do you think Schmid brushed it off instead
Speaker 1: of pursuing CC?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Then, Well, because in cruise she's still with Buster, She's
Speaker 1: still in a relationship. His ring got knocked off the
Speaker 1: side of the boat by Wen the bish, and so
Speaker 1: he wanted this moment. The moment doesn't exist. He can
Speaker 1: tell that she's still like in this relationship and doing
Speaker 1: this thing, and so he didn't pursue it. He had
Speaker 1: a thought about it with the violinist, and then it
Speaker 1: just just it wasn't working. And so and I don't
Speaker 1: don't know what the direction is. I think honestly, I
Speaker 1: just looked at Max. Yeah, I don't think it was
Speaker 1: like a big thing, but we just that's just the look.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got that look.
Speaker 4: You got the look, you got the look. Who thinks
Speaker 4: that song?
Speaker 1: M I don't know, I know the song. It's a Prince.
Speaker 1: It's the end of the podcast.
Speaker 4: You got the look.
Speaker 3: Let's see, let me make sure it's Prince before.
Speaker 1: Gotta be Prince. It's gotta be Prince.
Speaker 3: You know, back in those days be people will be
Speaker 3: trying to sound like them.
Speaker 1: Sound like That's why I got confused, like.
Speaker 4: Rock will always feel like Money's.
Speaker 3: I used to think that was Michael Jackson my whole
Speaker 3: life Rockwell, yeah, you have to look, it's Prince, So
Speaker 3: I thought you got the looks. So sorry, thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm one of the greats. Hi Hannah and lamourne My
Speaker 3: name is Natalie, and the messing around is such a
Speaker 3: breath of fresh air in the midst of chaos of life.
Speaker 3: I have been a huge New Girl fan from the
Speaker 3: time it aired, and it's my go to comfort when
Speaker 3: my go to comfort show when I need to decompress.
Speaker 3: As a nonprofit lawyer representing detained asylum seekers, my job,
Speaker 3: neilas to say, can be stressful, especially now. But complicating
Speaker 3: things more is that I come from a family that
Speaker 3: believes that the work that I derive such meaning from
Speaker 3: is actually harmful, and I have sometimes not been welcome home.
Speaker 4: Sorry that I screwed that up.
Speaker 3: I have pondered a lot over why New Girl, rather
Speaker 3: than some other show, has been my safe haven when
Speaker 3: I have been ostracized by my family, friends, and the
Speaker 3: religious community that I grew up in. I think the
Speaker 3: power of New Girl is in the fact that these
Speaker 3: friends have created in idyllic, idyllic fantasy of chosen family. Yes,
Speaker 3: their parents make occasional and hilarious guest appearances, but it
Speaker 3: is through the magic of the loft and their relationships
Speaker 3: with one another that they created their own community of
Speaker 3: love and support that rivals and even surpasses that of
Speaker 3: biological family. For those of us who do not have healthy,
Speaker 3: if any, relationships with our biological families, whether it be
Speaker 3: because of what we think or who we love, New
Speaker 3: Girl represents or new Goir presents a model for what
Speaker 3: loving community can look like. Family can be chosen. In
Speaker 3: that sense, New Girl isn't an escape, it is what
Speaker 3: many of us hope for.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Thanks for keeping the magic alive on this podcast. Can't
Speaker 3: wait for the next episode. Best Natalie.
Speaker 4: Natalie.
Speaker 3: First of all, let me just say I struggled through that, and.
Speaker 1: Your voice at the end turned into you know when
Speaker 1: you turn on the computer to start reading for you,
Speaker 1: it turned.
Speaker 4: Into that as I started out doing my voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I realize, all this is serious, I know.
Speaker 1: So you put on a serious place.
Speaker 3: I had to put on a serious for us. Then
Speaker 3: she threw me off with idyllicyl.
Speaker 1: Here's what I will say. The thing I think that
Speaker 1: at least I connected so much with when I read
Speaker 1: the pilot is that there's this in between phase for
Speaker 1: most people where they're not at home living with their
Speaker 1: parents anymore, and they're not you know, married or with
Speaker 1: a partner or have kids and like adult responsibilities, right,
Speaker 1: and there's just like this window of time where your
Speaker 1: friends are your chosen family. Like that's who you go
Speaker 1: to every single day. That's who's helping you. It's not
Speaker 1: your mom and dad, it's not your partner. It's like
Speaker 1: it's there's this window that exists, and it is so
Speaker 1: special because you really then get to pick who those
Speaker 1: people are. And it's usually a great time in your
Speaker 1: life because you're just so ided buy your best friends
Speaker 1: who really get you, they forgive a lot easier. There's
Speaker 1: no heavy expectation on you. And I feel like Liz
Speaker 1: was in the time of her life when she wrote
Speaker 1: this pilot, and a lot of us were too when
Speaker 1: we joined the show, and so it was awesome. It
Speaker 1: was one of those art you know imitates life, life
Speaker 1: imitates art kind of weird thing that was going back
Speaker 1: and forth for all of us, and I just think
Speaker 1: it showed and I think a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are in that season of life really have a deeper
Speaker 1: connection to the show because it's not like, oh, I
Speaker 1: remember the day when I had roommates like they're in
Speaker 1: it now, and it feels like so validating of why
Speaker 1: chosen family is so important. I think our show does
Speaker 1: that for people, even.
Speaker 3: Though that's just on camera because off camera, Jake one
Speaker 3: returning phone.
Speaker 1: Calls, it's a war, a war like go and how's
Speaker 1: a beef going? I feel like you guys have died
Speaker 1: down the attacks.
Speaker 3: I've been busy, you know, I mean, I'm busy being
Speaker 3: a single dad. I don't have time to I don't
Speaker 3: have I'm trying to teach my daughter a different path
Speaker 3: than what Jake is trying to teach his You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Jake is teaching chaos, corruption and confusion,
Speaker 3: and for me, I'm teaching love, appreciation and generosity. And
Speaker 3: and that's when we differ, and we're always going to
Speaker 3: be on the separate lines of that. I teach love,
Speaker 3: he teaches hate. And so yeah, I just keep myself.
Speaker 3: I just keep myself focused on that. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. No time for fuds, No time for feuds.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Drake Kendrick situation.
Speaker 3: No, No, life is all about love making and.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm doing, all right.
Speaker 1: Next question from Abel Abel are mh. Hey, guys, I
Speaker 1: love the podcast. I'm a little late to the game,
Speaker 1: so not sure if this question has been asked, but
Speaker 1: if it hasn't, you should ask this to every guest
Speaker 1: and even yourselves. Kill Mary, Screw how plitically correct Nick,
Speaker 1: Schmidt and Winston. My answer Abel's sharing is screw Schmidt.
Speaker 1: Of course, the more for that sexy bod and to
Speaker 1: experience the captain Mary Winston because he has a stable
Speaker 1: job on season four. He's a stable job, and I
Speaker 1: know he wouldn't cheat on me unlike other people. Kill
Speaker 1: Nick and yelling and temper or his alcoholism will eventually
Speaker 1: kill him anyway, how well, thanks guys, ab.
