Speaker 1 (00:03):
Yeahs hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Lap meeting meeting. I've been waiting to talk to you
because have you ever seen Wicked?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Uh? No comment?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh so you've never seen it?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
So me either, I'd never seen it, didn't know the story,
didn't know anything about it whatsoever. It's my mama's seventieth
and she absolutely loves musicals, and so I was like, oh,
for her birthday, my brother and I will take her
to go to the Pantagious Theater here in Los Angeles
(00:55):
to watch Wicked, to see the stage play. None of it,
so anything about it, like literally nothing. And then what
we'll do the next day is go and watch the
movie so we could kind of see it how it
was supposed to be seen. Nice before we go and
watch the movie. And I have to say, and I
(01:17):
am a tough like convert, like I have a natural
resistance to things where everybody's like the mess. And I'm
just like I just can't. I'm just I can't. I
can't go into the fold. It just it bothers me.
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Like I said, you hadn't seen it, Well now I have,
Now you have.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now I have been like the past two days, I
have I've gone to the theater? How did I've gone
to the theater?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We mask question, how did the performers do? How did
they fare versus me singing Wicked on New Girl?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Because when you sang here's the thing I remember because
like it's Schmidt and CC that are trapped naked under
a map in the back of the car, right, And
so I remember like the singing of it because I
think Aaron O'Malley came and was like, this is what's
going on, this is what's so crazy, and either she
(02:08):
played it for us or something, because we were supposed
to making all these faces and you're an exceptional singer.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Had the flu during that time too, so it wasn't
even I wasn't even given it my best.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh well, you were exceptional, And I did think about
it after when I left the theater. I was like,
you would have fit really well into that movie, like
you they could have really given you off fun Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
John Cia, what's going on with y'all?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Like plug him in? But then all of a sudden,
of course I went down like the rabbit hole where
I'm just like man and like, you know, you have
to have like Jess. Jess could have been a really
good you know, Golinda and you know, so that we
could have done that. And then I just started thinking
of the New Girl cast in the Wicked movie. Who
(02:58):
would we all have been? And I actually feel like
the New Girl cast is very Wizard of Ozzie, like
it's not a big leap. And then you think of
all the other characters like the bear Claw and the
whatever tran, like everybody fits into that world, the Wicked world,
very well. So I feel like we need some of
our super fans out there to do like a mock up,
(03:21):
please do like of us in the cast of Wicked.
I do think that every girl that watches that movie, though,
we all see ourselves as Elfie. So that's who I
would want to be. But I don't know if the
New Girl you know universe sees me that way.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
I don't know. You paint yourself green, maybe they will.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Love to paint myself green. Love to be green. Ha
Kermy said it to us at first. Oh yeah, do
you remember the Defining Gravity song? Do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I can't sing. I can't sing.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'm not gonna singing right now.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I feel like I'm not taking it. You've already gone it.
You've been there, You've done it, and you set the bar.
I'm telling you well.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And now I was doing falsetto on the show Define.
I was doing that. But I shouldn't have done that.
I should have went in my own register. I should
have went to a lower register because I'm sick lower register.
You got higher registers and you at your lower registers.
I should have went to my lower you know, but
I didn't. At the time, it wasn't classically trained. Now
I'm classically trained. But you know, we'll get into it.
(04:29):
Maybe I'll make a little music video of me doing
the song.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
You should give it to the people, anybody.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Okay, let's put this out there. Yeah, I'll go to
the studio with Ronald juke Box Jackson. I'll record my
own version of Define Gravity. We get any filmmakers out
there who wants to set it up, make a dope
music video with me doing Define Gravity. How about your boy?
I'm down. I'll make myself readily available.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Wow, this is a moment, you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Spiderberg, are you listening?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Spielberg?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Are Marty? Are you out there?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Let's dive in. Let's hear from you, Denise, you want
me to read it? You're live, go Live, Hey, Hey Joel,
you queen. I already love this intro Hannah and Lamourn
as a kid, it's in quotations as a kid, as
(05:44):
a kid from Chicago. I loved all the Chicago references
on the show, but most of all, I love the
poster Nick Head on his wall throughout the series of
an Actual Chicago, of the actual Chicago band. It was
very funny.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
J C.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Brooks and the Uptown Sound. I spent my early mid
twenties in Chicago during the late naughties. Ooh like actual Chicago,
not how do you pronounce this Walkegan because we all
know what that means? And my friends and I followed
j C. Brooks in the Uptown Sound to venues all
over the city. Oh diehard fan. My first introduction to
(06:19):
them was when my friends were on the crazy Chicago
public access television show Chica Go Go episode when j. C.
Brooks and co performed It were all locked in from there.
I also thought it was really cool that Jake Johnson
took his tampon Commercial Street Cred to appear in a
J C. Brooks music video with Aubrey Plaza. I did
(06:40):
not know that.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I didn't either, I mean Jake. These were Jake's friends, by.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
The way, Oh for real?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah, that's how you get the poster on the wall.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Oh cool.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I moved to Saint Louis when I got married years later,
but so want to see the band every time they
were in town. In fact, the song that my spouse
and I had our first dance to at our wedding
was an Otis writing cover that J. C. Brooks used
to do. My last show with them was when I
was several months pregnant with my first kid and we
hung out in the parking lot while the band smoked
the Devil's Lettuce. The kid is now twelve. Sometimes life
(07:15):
pre kids reads like a fever dream. This is very
true anyway, just wanted to express my appreciation. You guys
were my on screen companions who walked with me and
kept me laughing through big life changes, early marriage to
late nights, during the first time parenthood, losing a parent.
In more, my kids went to school believing that raccoon
was pronounced the way Schmid says it raccoon, and we
(07:36):
all yelled at the sky to send messages North to Chicago.
Here's a link to a J. C. Brooks Wilco cover
that slaps always xoxo Denise, I.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Loved That's awesome, Denise. I'm not one hundred percent. Maybe
Jake talked about it or something where he uses tampon
Commercial Street grid to appear in the J. C. Brooks
music video, But I remember Jake saying that those were
his buddies. I want to say that's how he got
their picture on the wall. Now, now I'm not sure
if he became buddies because of the you know, being
(08:11):
in the music video, then they became friends. But yeah,
Jake would have a lot of personal like his wife's
artwork is all throughout the loft. Yeah, he uh, he
really got his way on that show.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I will say it's something that both you and Jake
Johnson have in common, which is that you use the
platform to support and uplift your friends and family. You
gotta do you you don't, that's the thing. You don't
got to do it, but you guys do it, and
it's very loving and kind.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, Hey, Hannah in the Morning to this day, New
Girl is the only TV I've ever experienced that can
make me laugh out loud by myself. I still rewatch
about once a year. I laughed until I cried the
first time I experienced look at me being so naughty.
The question is I have often heard the cast mentioned
(09:02):
that shoot days for New Girl were insanely long, like
as long as eighteen hours. That always made me sad
to hear, because I imagine how much more fun the
whole thing could have been if everyone wasn't so exhausted.
How did you deal with that level of sleep deprivation?
How did you manage to remember your lines and stay
creative while tired? Thanks so much, Kate Brin? Is it
(09:27):
Kitrin or Caitlyn? And here it says Kitrin.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Caitrin, Catrin.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Just say Caitlin, Caitlyn. I've never heard of Catern.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know Kate.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, Kate, we're giving you a nickname, CZ.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're giving your nickname.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I could tell you I eighteen hours is extreme. I
think it was like sixteen hours. Maybe it was a yeah,
something like that. But I can tell you you get
used to it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's true. That's I was going to say that it
was just the norm. I mean, that was my first
time ever doing a show. Like that, and if it's
all you know, it's all you know. And as the season,
like the seasons went on, it did smooth out and
then get a lot easier with the hours and they
got into a better rhythm. It took a few years.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, I would say it got to the point we
were doing like a ten hour day would be considered
a long day. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No, I don't think we ever got to a ten.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, we've done eight, you crazy. Yes, we got down
to ten, you remember, because the reason why we how
we did it was we stopped we stopped doing the
screaming out alts and we just had an alt packet.
So then we would pick one or two jokes that
we wanted to say, and we'd roll right into it,
and what would happen.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We got more efficient that way, That's true.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
We'd be at lunch and the modern family folks would
be heading home, and we would complain about that a lot.
We'll go, wait a minute, they're shooting it's one of
the funniest TV shows ever, and they're done by them,
you know, they're doing eight hour days, it felt like.
And then so then we got ours down to like
ten hour work days.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, maybe in those last few seasons.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, how you bug it, Doug. We was in now Bro.
They became more efficient with our time the more we
don't know that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's true, they got easier. So it's I think it's
better than the reverse, which is like, oh, you've done
a show for years that had six to eight hour
days or ten hour days, and then if you did
New Girl and it was like sixteen hours. You know
for the first few years, that would have been tough.
But I think because it was.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
All we knew.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Also, we were all kind of in the same phase
of life as our characters. Yeah, so it wasn't like
you had big responsibilities at home you had to go
and take care of It was sort of like this
was it and we'd kind of made it. It was
like you were on this big dream show. So I
think the just you were just so caught up in it. So, yes,
(11:51):
you're a little tired, but you're a little tired like
living your dream. Yeah, it kind of it doesn't register
like there was no in the moment feeling like okay,
but I would rather do anything else than what we're doing. Yeah,
oh yeah, blessings, Okay, the next thank you, Kate, Kat
(12:16):
Tree Trend. Hi, my name is Olivia. First off, I
have to say I love New Girl, I love you guys,
and I love the fact that you do this podcast.
Three days ago I discovered I've watched every episode twice.
I have two questions. One is, so far during your rewatch,
what's been your favorite episode to revisit? My second question is,
(12:40):
can we get a podcast episode with the whole cast?
Keep doing you and congrats on the Emmy, Winnie the Bish.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's right, thank you, thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I uh, let's see favorite one we've watched so far.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Actually, you know what's interesting, I I I feel like
it's going to be the Prince one, just because we've
got so many stories.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, we don't have that one till next week. You
haven't rewatched it yet, and you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Can't say it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a perfect time to ask this question. We can't
say Prince, but.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Damn it, Okay, do I pick another one? Man? That's
a tough one.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's hard.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Literally so many I don't. I don't. They're all they're
all fun and they're funny and it's and it's great
to to to have that nostalgia when you're sitting back
you know, just thinking about the weird ship that you
guys did on the show. So it's all fun, especially
even some of the more chaotic episodes. It's fun to
(13:50):
look back on it because you're done with it now.
And so I would say one that I found to
be very fun was Elaine's big day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I was gonna say that was mine too. Yeah, it
felt like one of our bigger, like super epic. Yeah,
it was just like a big episode.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And a lot of high jinks was happening, So it
was fun to look at. It was fun to watch,
you know, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And Taylor Swift was there. That to me also, Elaine.
I mean, that's why we did special merch By the
way we go to our website, there might be a
piece or two left, but we did special Elaine and
Hivy shirts because I was mad that they didn't really
exist online and we're like, we're just gonna make our own.
So that's true. I was gonna say that one too.
It was really fun, and it was also really interesting
(14:39):
for me because it was like the first Indian wedding
I'd ever been to. They kept asking me these questions like,
so culturally, would you be wearing and I was like,
I don't know, I've never even get to an Indian wedding.
I'm so sorry I wear a texied.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I remember being like, maybe she wears a white dress.
And my mom, who by the way, who was not Indian,
she was like, it's an Indian wedding. She can't wear
white because they were white to funerals in India, so
it's like she'd be a dead ghost coming down the isle.
I'm like, first of all, this is not real, so
also good to know. Yeah, yeah, I think that was
(15:16):
one of the most fun ones to rewatch because it
brought so many memories.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah back, yeah, a lot of high jinks. Like I said,
that's that's always fun. Guys, thank you, thank you. That's
that's our show. You can join us Tuesday to recap
season three episode Prince.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The Prince episode. I don't know how we're going to
do it in a one episode recap if I'm being
very honest with you, because this is like a lot
and you know, a little while ago I had a
conversation with our beloved costume designer, The Queen, Deborah Maguire,
(15:58):
and part of a story about Prince came out, but
just part of it. So I think we are going
to be able to address the whole thing and actually
share the whole Prince story, which is very exciting and I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Will gladly address finally after all these years, the Prince
and Kardashian New Girl debacle. Yeah, I think we should
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think we should talk about it. It's out there,
but I feel like everything is out there in pieces.
So if you want to know all the stuff that
happened with Prince, with all of us, be here on Tuesday.
It's gonna be a big one, okay, and make sure
you send in all your questions you have around the
Prince episode, because of course we're gonna hold a loft

Jake talked about it or something where he uses tampon
Commercial Street grid to appear in the J. C. Brooks
music video, But I remember Jake saying that those were
his buddies. I want to say that's how he got
their picture on the wall. Now, now I'm not sure
if he became buddies because of the you know, being
(08:11):
in the music video, then they became friends. But yeah,
Jake would have a lot of personal like his wife's
artwork is all throughout the loft. Yeah, he uh, he
really got his way on that show.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I will say it's something that both you and Jake
Johnson have in common, which is that you use the
platform to support and uplift your friends and family. You
gotta do you you don't, that's the thing. You don't
got to do it, but you guys do it, and
it's very loving and kind.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, Hey, Hannah in the Morning to this day, New
Girl is the only TV I've ever experienced that can
make me laugh out loud by myself. I still rewatch
about once a year. I laughed until I cried the
first time I experienced look at me being so naughty.
The question is I have often heard the cast mentioned
(09:02):
that shoot days for New Girl were insanely long, like
as long as eighteen hours. That always made me sad
to hear, because I imagine how much more fun the
whole thing could have been if everyone wasn't so exhausted.
How did you deal with that level of sleep deprivation?
How did you manage to remember your lines and stay
creative while tired? Thanks so much, Kate Brin? Is it
(09:27):
Kitrin or Caitlyn? And here it says Kitrin.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Caitrin, Catrin.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Just say Caitlin, Caitlyn. I've never heard of Catern.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know Kate.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, Kate, we're giving you a nickname, CZ.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We're giving your nickname.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I could tell you I eighteen hours is extreme. I
think it was like sixteen hours. Maybe it was a yeah,
something like that. But I can tell you you get
used to it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
That's true. That's I was going to say that it
was just the norm. I mean, that was my first
time ever doing a show. Like that, and if it's
all you know, it's all you know. And as the season,
like the seasons went on, it did smooth out and
then get a lot easier with the hours and they
got into a better rhythm. It took a few years.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, I would say it got to the point we
were doing like a ten hour day would be considered
a long day. You know.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
No, I don't think we ever got to a ten.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, we've done eight, you crazy. Yes, we got down
to ten, you remember, because the reason why we how
we did it was we stopped we stopped doing the
screaming out alts and we just had an alt packet.
So then we would pick one or two jokes that
we wanted to say, and we'd roll right into it,
and what would happen.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We got more efficient that way, That's true.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
We'd be at lunch and the modern family folks would
be heading home, and we would complain about that a lot.
We'll go, wait a minute, they're shooting it's one of
the funniest TV shows ever, and they're done by them,
you know, they're doing eight hour days, it felt like.
And then so then we got ours down to like
ten hour work days.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, maybe in those last few seasons.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, how you bug it, Doug. We was in now Bro.
They became more efficient with our time the more we
don't know that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's true, they got easier. So it's I think it's
better than the reverse, which is like, oh, you've done
a show for years that had six to eight hour
days or ten hour days, and then if you did
New Girl and it was like sixteen hours. You know
for the first few years, that would have been tough.
But I think because it was.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
All we knew.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Also, we were all kind of in the same phase
of life as our characters. Yeah, so it wasn't like
you had big responsibilities at home you had to go
and take care of It was sort of like this
was it and we'd kind of made it. It was
like you were on this big dream show. So I
think the just you were just so caught up in it. So, yes,
(11:51):
you're a little tired, but you're a little tired like
living your dream. Yeah, it kind of it doesn't register
like there was no in the moment feeling like okay,
but I would rather do anything else than what we're doing. Yeah,
oh yeah, blessings, Okay, the next thank you, Kate, Kat
(12:16):
Tree Trend. Hi, my name is Olivia. First off, I
have to say I love New Girl, I love you guys,
and I love the fact that you do this podcast.
Three days ago I discovered I've watched every episode twice.
I have two questions. One is, so far during your rewatch,
what's been your favorite episode to revisit? My second question is,
(12:40):
can we get a podcast episode with the whole cast?
Keep doing you and congrats on the Emmy, Winnie the Bish.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's right, thank you, thank you very much, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I uh, let's see favorite one we've watched so far.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Actually, you know what's interesting, I I I feel like
it's going to be the Prince one, just because we've
got so many stories.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, we don't have that one till next week. You
haven't rewatched it yet, and you.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Can't say it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a perfect time to ask this question. We can't
say Prince, but.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Damn it, Okay, do I pick another one? Man? That's
a tough one.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It's hard.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Literally so many I don't. I don't. They're all they're
all fun and they're funny and it's and it's great
to to to have that nostalgia when you're sitting back
you know, just thinking about the weird ship that you
guys did on the show. So it's all fun, especially
even some of the more chaotic episodes. It's fun to
(13:50):
look back on it because you're done with it now.
And so I would say one that I found to
be very fun was Elaine's big day.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I was gonna say that was mine too. Yeah, it
felt like one of our bigger, like super epic. Yeah,
it was just like a big episode.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
And a lot of high jinks was happening, So it
was fun to look at. It was fun to watch,
you know, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And Taylor Swift was there. That to me also, Elaine.
I mean, that's why we did special merch By the
way we go to our website, there might be a
piece or two left, but we did special Elaine and
Hivy shirts because I was mad that they didn't really
exist online and we're like, we're just gonna make our own.
So that's true. I was gonna say that one too.
It was really fun, and it was also really interesting
(14:39):
for me because it was like the first Indian wedding
I'd ever been to. They kept asking me these questions like,
so culturally, would you be wearing and I was like,
I don't know, I've never even get to an Indian wedding.
I'm so sorry I wear a texied.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I remember being like, maybe she wears a white dress.
And my mom, who by the way, who was not Indian,
she was like, it's an Indian wedding. She can't wear
white because they were white to funerals in India, so
it's like she'd be a dead ghost coming down the isle.
I'm like, first of all, this is not real, so
also good to know. Yeah, yeah, I think that was
(15:16):
one of the most fun ones to rewatch because it
brought so many memories.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah back, yeah, a lot of high jinks. Like I said,
that's that's always fun. Guys, thank you, thank you. That's
that's our show. You can join us Tuesday to recap
season three episode Prince.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The Prince episode. I don't know how we're going to
do it in a one episode recap if I'm being
very honest with you, because this is like a lot
and you know, a little while ago I had a
conversation with our beloved costume designer, The Queen, Deborah Maguire,
(15:58):
and part of a story about Prince came out, but
just part of it. So I think we are going
to be able to address the whole thing and actually
share the whole Prince story, which is very exciting and I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Will gladly address finally after all these years, the Prince
and Kardashian New Girl debacle. Yeah, I think we should
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think we should talk about it. It's out there,
but I feel like everything is out there in pieces.
So if you want to know all the stuff that
happened with Prince, with all of us, be here on Tuesday.
It's gonna be a big one, okay, and make sure
you send in all your questions you have around the
Prince episode, because of course we're gonna hold a loft
meeting all about Prance, so make sure you send those in.
