They messing around.

All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's a loft meeting. Loft meeting. Loft meeting. Today we're answering your questions about episode 217 parking. You guys had a lot of questions. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Parking spot. Parking spot. So wait, what does this say? Parking spot. I got to know how Schmidt would literally pee inside his body. Oh, yeah. I will say this.

I don't know if you've had this happen to you the morning before. I've genuinely had moments where I've had to like really, I really had to pee. And then there's no like bathroom available or it's gross. And I'm like, I'll hold it. And you hold it for long enough and you don't have to pee anymore. Yeah.

I don't know the scientific reason for that. And does it just absorb into your body and it's toxic and then you just like die quicker in the end? You know, I think it's like a second wind. You ever get really tired when you're like doing something athletic? Well, you probably don't. Never done something athletic so I can't respond.

But in my athlete days, there's something called the second wind. And I'm thinking that your body gets a, you know, it's like a second wind, but for your bladder. So it's like, I really got to go. I really got to go. I really got to go. But then your bladder expands and says, okay, no.

We don't need that. We don't we don't got to go just yet. That's why the more you do it, the more you hold your your urine, the worse you're off. New Girl fans, you came here for all the behind the scenes details of the New Girl universe. I mean, science is kind of my thing. Conspiracy theories about bladders. I wouldn't call it conspiracy. I'll text Neil deGrasse Tyson and ask him. I think you'll have the answer. Yeah.

Can you exercise your bladder muscles to make them stronger and grow in the case of emergencies? And is that what Schmidt did in parking lot? I think so. I think he did that. And also he was doing Kegels as well, which keeps your body tight in that area. Boys can't do Kegels. Yes, they can. I'm doing them right now. What do you mean? You mean like bum Kegels? Yeah, you're just like squish. It's okay. Tight.

I think Kegels are just for the ladies. No, Hannah. In the lady part. Hannah, are you and I going to have to take this to the comment section? I can't Google because it'll screw up my whole algorithm. I'm not, I'm not Googling Kegels vagina, but I'm not doing it. I won't do it. I've already searched all those things. So my algorithm is just fine. Like that's my whole algorithm. I won't do it. Yeah. Men can do Kegels as well. It's for your prostate and to strengthen your,

You know, when you are engaged in to keep it, you know. The penal kegs. The penal kegs. Thank you, Hannah out there who's probably 14 who didn't need to know any of this information. Okay. Oh, no. So the Cece and Winston interaction was so rare and funny. Would you guys consider that condom scene the kickoff to the legendary Cece-Winston friendship?

That's interesting. As I think back, I would say, yes, I know we had a scene prior to that, which was a bad one. I think it was CC. What was it called? CC. When you spent the night and we were dancing, it was a weird dance moment. That was, I would say, was one of the first times we they kind of made us interact. But in that episode where I come in looking for.

I got to say that probably was because you know what I was feeling that day? Nervous about having to do a scene with you because we hadn't really done that. And I and I in it, it genuinely felt like I was.

going to a friend's friend's place like am i supposed to be here interacted with each other on camera like that so i honestly i i think because i mean this is quite you know deep into the show this is not like season one yeah i feel like maybe that's why like our

friendship is so tangible on the show because our interactions with us being like, I guess we're just going to be us. Yeah. I guess we're just going to do us and how we talk to each other and how we interact and

And that's just kind of how it was as opposed to like making these character choices. Yeah. Which ended up, I think, you know, having them put us together more and more. It's so funny how you talk about you remember the feeling because you just talked about how we did that dance in season one when Cece stays the night when I say the night. And every single time someone talks about that dance.

then my neck hurts because we shot that scene. No joke. It's 730 in the morning. It was a really early day that day. We had a lot to get done. And I remember, um,

They really wanted me to go for it. Like I was supposed to be crazy dancing, right? I was supposed to be like drunk or whatever. And I tweaked my neck. Really? Yeah. You know, like when you do that, when you can't like look left or whatever, but we had to keep shooting and multiple takes and wide and closeups and doing all this stuff. And I just remember I did it on the first take and I was like,

And I was in so much pain in my neck. So even now talking about it, how many years later when you're just like, I think our first scene was the dancing scene. My neck is like, don't talk about it. Still hurts. Oh, that's rough. That's funny. You remember your body remembers. So I just, I just, I just want to be clear about something because we've had this discussion before numerous times on this show. We'll bring guests on our podcast that we'll talk about it. It's been mentioned when you did the little morning after podcast that

You talk about my frail body and how I'm always hurt. And you left out. And I don't think you told many people because you left out the part that dancing at 730 in the morning. That's right. Broke your neck. It gave you a bulging disc. Here's the difference. I didn't ask them to call a doctor. Well, I didn't leave and I didn't tell anybody. I just muscled through. I got a second wind like your bladder does. Next question.

Okay. Make no damn sense. Make no damn sense. Lamorne, what in the world was Winston going to do with some tinfoil or a shower cap and a twist tie?

That's a good question. It's a good question. I don't know. That's just a man that's just desperate. I can go to a shopping bag. I can... You know what? That probably came from... And just so we're on the same page, this is when I'm at the store, I want to say, and I'm asking or I'm trying to figure out what to do to make a condom or something, right? This is what they're referring to. So...

I refer to this particular moment in the recap episode of Parking Spot. I had a friend growing up who told me that he lost his virginity by using a grocery bag because he didn't have a condom and he wanted to be safe. And she was like, nope, you need a condom. And he was like, well, this too? She said, okay. Yeah.

So maybe that's probably where this came from, because I could tell you a tinfoil would hurt both of us. A shower cap, I understand where you're going with that. And the twist tie to tie it where it should be tied. I understand where Winston was going with that. But the tinfoil?

I'm not entirely sure. I don't think we should be putting aluminum inside our bodies. Well, we do with our deodorants. I don't use deodorant. We know, Hannah. We know. No.

I've never used deodorant. You've never used deodorant? No. I'm not a sweater. Is that why your memory is so good? Probably. Honestly, I don't sweat. It's like a weird thing. That's probably a medical condition. Call Neil about that too. Penal kegels and why don't I ever sweat. Wait, you be, hold on. This is breaking news. For real. You don't sweat? Is this one of those things when women say, ooh, I don't fart? I genuinely don't. I'm not a sweaty person. I don't sweat.

I'm going to ask your significant other. Please. I feel like he would know the real deal. It's a very weird thing. He's not crazy sweaty either. He uses deodorant. But I don't really sweat. Interesting. Now, let's also acknowledge the fact that I barely move. Well...

But let's say it's hot outside. Yeah. Let's say it's hot and you got to go and do a quick little errand and it's 106 degrees. No. You're not sweating? Not really. No. You must be dehydrated.

That's a fact. That's right. You don't drink much water. You always drink booze. No, I drink water. I only drink water. You know what's funny is that I don't like flavored water, sparkly water, whatever water. Water. Love water. Lots of water. Love water. I don't know if I drink enough water, but...

Yeah. I'm not a big sweater. I don't know what to tell you. Maybe it's because honestly, I grew up in like the hottest countries and my body is just got like a different tolerance for heat. You can hit me with that 105. I'm like, get to 140. Don't come to me. I guess that's true. But you know what's crazy is that people rarely can smell themselves. So I just caution you.

that you don't get a reputation. You would tell me you were next to me for 10 years. You are not shy. You would have been like, girl, listen, I always said that about our relationship on set. You were the one person that would always tell me the truth. It would always just be like bat in the cave.

Yeah. You'd be like, oh, you're this is showing or whatever. You always told me the truth. You would know more than anyone else because you were closer to me literally the entire time. You would have told me you would know. Well, I'm also very polite. If if if you have if you have a body to me, it's just it's just impolite to let you know. And Hannah, I'm here today. Chance you are. Tell me. Tell me. Let me know. Hannah, you smelled like a teen wolf.

He smelled like MTV's Teen Wolf. Who was on the show? He smelled like Dylan O'Brien. He smelled like Dylan O'Brien. No, I couldn't tell. That's crazy. I thought maybe you wore deodorant. All right. I would like to say the best smelling person that we had on our show. Was Damon. Damon! Was Damon. I don't know what he was wearing. What? He was wearing some sort of like women's. No, he was wearing like a women's body oil.

Oil? Yeah. It's funny because when I did Not Dead Yet with Gina Rodriguez, she did a movie with Damon. And it was so funny. Like, oh, Damon, we love Damon. Damon's so wonderful. He's the best. And then she was like, you always smell so good. And it's like it's his thing now. Yeah. Women's body oil. And he takes care of himself. He does. With deodorant. Anyway, next question. These laugh meetings. Mm-hmm.

All right. Hey, guys, what TV show crossover would you have liked to see slash be part of? Similar to Just Day with the Brooklyn Nine-Nine crossover. You guys are awesome. Keep killing it. New Girl's one of the best comedy sitcoms of this generation. Full stop. Big fan. Steve from Tampa, Florida. Steve. Also, I love Tampa, Florida. So, Steve, next time I come to Tampa, I'm gonna hit you up, bro. I'm gonna hit you up.

What about you? Because I have my favorite shows. Now, this says that we would have liked to see

slash be a part of, meaning we want to see it or also be a part of. Because I want to see 30 Rock meets Game of Thrones. So this is what I was going to say. I was going to say like New Girl meets White Lotus. Yes, so we can shoot in Italy or something. Please take me to Italy. Let me go live on a Hawaiian island. Let me go do that and just like have weird stuff happen at the hotel on the New Girl cast. Like Schmidt on White Lotus.

Come on. Oh, that would be fantastic. Absolutely amazing. I would love to see that crossover and be part of that crossover. What's yours? Mine would be 30 Rock meets Game of Thrones. Actually, I'll take that back. I'm going to go with Martin meets Game of Thrones because I just want to see. Martin meets Game of Thrones.

I just want to see Martin see a dragon, see Khaleesi in one of these things and goes, damn. Oh, that's a dragon. Okay. What we just realized, this is a really missed opportunity because there have been crossover episodes. They never do drama and comedy. No. Sleeping on that. The dramatic folks, they take themselves too seriously, I think, at times. Hence the drama. Because if you do add...

Martin. Game of Thrones. Nobody that eliminates all the stakes from Game of Thrones. Okay. The Bernie Mac show and Succession. Yes. Oh, that would be good. I get sick of time. You motherfucking kids. Better try to take off my goddamn company, man. Motherfucking kids. Goddamn kids, man. Shit. Hello.

Oh, goddamn. Spoiled ass motherfuckers, man. I'm trying to run a goddamn social media company, man. These motherfuckers. I ain't scared of you motherfuckers, man.

I really hope some really big TV execs are listening right now because we're handing you must watch television. Yes. Appointment television. Yes. Bernie Mac. Oh my gosh. Succession. Cousin Greg, you dumb motherfucker. Sit your ass down. This is it. We figured it out. Tall for no damn reason. Play no basketball, man. Sorry.

Oh, that's okay. That's gold. Yeah. I need to watch that show immediately. Somebody do a super cut and edit and make that happen and send it to us. Please. I need it. Or do Cocoa Melon meets Breaking Bad. Come on now. All these little kids cooking up meth.

Come on. No, you know what I would see? I would see Blippi with Breaking Bad. Oh, yeah. Blippi was in the RV. Blippi. And now. Oh, I know. Don't say it. I know what you're going to say. Don't go there. Let's not. Let's go. I can't. I know. I know. It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be past Blippi to have had done that in the past. Okay. Let's just say that. I'm going to keep it there.

Leave it to your Googled algorithm if you want to go there. He used to deuce on people. Anyway, let's... It's true. Oh, Lord. Okay. I mean, these loft meetings. Hi, guys. I'm Melissa from Brazil and I'm a huge fan of New Girl. I've watched about five times already and I'm re-watching along with you guys. Thank you. As I listen to the podcast and it's super fun getting to know the little details about the episode.

And you guys here in Brazil, the show didn't get as big in the beginning, but I've been seeing more and more people starting to watch it over the last few years. I've been spreading the word about new girl as if I'm a missionary during the show or maybe after. Did you guys ever travel abroad? Zoe probably on her private jet. Love it. This bit keeps going.

To a country you didn't expect to be known, but then a foreign fan approached you. And if so, how was it to find out that people from other countries you never thought would see it have actually watched it and loved it? Thank you for the show and the podcasts. I love listening to you guys.

also to the morning after, and we're here to help. Ooh, all the plugs. Over the years, I really felt like I'm part of this friend group, not in a crazy way, and it gave me a sense of comfort to see you guys figuring out your lives on the show while I'm also trying to figure out mine. Who's that girl? It's Melissa P. P.S. Lamorne, have you ever been to Latvia? Wow. Thank you. First of all, yeah, Melissa P., thank you very, very much. Um,

You want to answer? We can both answer it, obviously, but you want to go first? About traveling abroad and bumping into a fan. I mean, it happens all the time. Yeah. Yeah, people watch this show all over the world. I remember being in Kenya. What? I remember being in Kenya at this little...

A little hotel on the way going into the Masai Mara, we stopped and we're in this little hotel and someone walked by and said, Cici, and gave me a big high five. Usually when I've gotten stopped in other countries,

The first question is, what are you doing here? Which is always really funny. I'm like, oh, I came to check out this country. I will say maybe this is my opportunity because it was brought to my attention that on Reddit, someone had written about a fan interaction with me in Italy, in Cinque Terre, in one of the little towns, and that they had...

come up to me and said hi or something. And I was like really brief with them and kind of like just kept moving.

And they thought that it was rude. And I always make, just like you, I watch you when people come up and talk to you to talk about the show and everything. Like I always stop and talk and chat and make time for it because we wouldn't have a show if people didn't watch it. And I'm super appreciative of the people who watch and love our shows. And it's what's really strange is that I remember that interaction because this is the full disclosure moment.

I remember that interaction because it was like, it's a hike. So you're on like a little bit of a hike. And all of a sudden I got my period and I was like, oh my gosh. And I was like, oh,

I need to immediately find a pharmacy and I need to find a bathroom. I need to get, I need to get, I need to go. And then I was like, and then there's the last train that you have to catch to get back. We weren't staying in that town. We're staying in another town. So I had to find a bathroom, get it to the pharmacy, get to a bathroom. It was late in the evening and then like go, like not miss the last train. And I had to do all those things. And it just, it was all haphazardly.

And I was in the middle of a conversation and I was like, we gotta move immediately. And in that exact moment, I got stopped by somebody and they're like, "Hey." And I was like, "Hi." And I was just in this, you know, it's in my head about this other thing and I had to go and do it. And that was that moment. And I remember when I finally got back to the hotel, made the last train, I was like, "Oh, I felt so bad that I wasn't like, didn't do my usual stop and talk and my thank yous."

So, yes, I feel actually, you know, it's great. Someone brought that to my attention. They're like, you know, there's a Reddit thread about you being rude to somebody. And I was like, it's good to get that. It's good to get that off your chest. Yeah, but that was the context of it. So often when things happen or maybe if you meet someone that you, you know, admire or like their work and maybe you don't have the best interaction, maybe something's going on and it's not about you. They just have something else happening that they had to deal with.

Like blood leaving their body. That's, well, that's a fun fact about when you get your period. It's unlike having to urinate. You can't just hold it in. There's no second wind. Yeah, you don't get a second wind with that. So you got to go somewhere else and handle your business. That's right. Yeah, for me, I would say, I mean,

I mean, you're right. It happens all over the world, wherever you go. But there's two locations that I was shocked to see it. When I was in Cape Town, I just remember it wasn't just like one person. It was everybody. I went to meet with this producer about the movie that I was shooting there. And he said, meet me at this random restaurant. So I go to meet him. And as I hop out of the taxi, I notice...

All these people start turning their head as I'm walking into the restaurant because the restaurant, it starts outside. So there's a bunch of seats outside and then you go inside. And then I started noticing all the movement and I'm like, that's odd. So I go up and we talk. As we leave, there is a mob of people outside with their phones out. Like I'm talking surrounding the door.

asking for pictures and doing a whole thing. And he had to escort me to my car. And then from that moment on, sent an email out to the cast saying, listen, you're going to need to have security with you. Because he didn't know. He just assumed that was just some dude they cast in this movie. I guess he hadn't done his Googles. And then that ended up being the case. But then everywhere I went after that,

People would send me drinks. People would offer to pay my bill for my food because I was by myself most of that time. Like I would go out with my security guy and I would just sit down and have dinner by myself.

And then I would get these people that would walk up. I'm talking offering me everything from free meals to drugs. I'm like, oh, God, I don't want to do that. Did it feel overwhelming or did you feel like comfortable with it? I felt very comfortable with it. It was good because what happens when you promote these shows and this in particular, this is the part that I'm still trying to figure out and piece out.

Our show is seen in Africa. However, whenever we were doing our press tours and our press runs and our media outlets, nobody from... I don't remember it being a big thing where African outlets were being asked to cover the show. Are we selling the show to Africa? To any of the countries there? I was like, hold on. You mean to tell me I got a fan base over here?

What are we doing? You should do a stand-up tour. I should. I should. Because I loved it. I went back twice. And then in Italy. I remember walking down the street in Italy for my birthday last year. And you got your period. I got my period. Yeah. From my butt. No, that's where it comes from. Everybody knows. No, I was just walking with a group of friends from a restaurant. And somebody on a bike, just like a Vespa,

Winnie the bitch. And I just like, Whoa, it was really small town. And, and, uh,

In Sicily. Funny. It's funny how you do remember the moments that you get kind of like pulled out of your body a little bit. Like that one in Cinque Terre that I remember. And you're just like, wow, that was just so random that it happened in that moment. Oh, yeah. What was the last part of this question? Oh, yeah. Lamorne, have you ever been to Latvia? Yeah.

Unfortunately, I have not been to Latvia, but I want to go. I'm a huge basketball fan and their basketball team, I guess their international team, isn't bad. I guess they're pretty good. Christophe Porzingis is one of my favorite players and hopefully I get a chance to go. Hey, if you want to see me in Latvia, folks, please write to your local travel people who make those things happen. And then...

And then have me over. You should do an international stand-up tour to some of the most unexpected places and sell that as a TV show. I should. Where are you going? I'm going to bumfuck. I'm going to bumfuck Serbia. I'm going to Greenland. Yes. I would go with you. I'm down.

All right. Well, we figured it all out. That was a great question. Thank you, Melissa P. All right. So that, folks, is our show. Please join us on Tuesday to recap Season 2, Episode 18, Tinfinity. Tinfinity! Tinfinity!
