That's F.

Hey, who doesn't love bacon? And did you know Oscar Mayer smokes their delicious bacon for 12 hours over real hardwood?

That's a really long time to perfect the smoky flavor and even longer than it takes to go on a long road trip from Chicago to Pittsburgh, stop for food along the way, and still get there while the bacon is smoking. The point is, Oscar Mayer takes the best cuts and smokes them over real hardwood chips. There's no wrong way to enjoy it. So buy some Oscar Mayer thick cut bacon now. Ring, ring, ring, ring.

May I please speak with Zoe? Oh, hello, Lamorne. Let's patch in Hannah. God, I forgot what it was like working with you guys. Hi. So happy to see you.

So happy to see you too. I know you are in a land far, far away. I am. I'm in Greece right now. I'm very jealous. So it's 10 o'clock at night. You're getting the after dark energy.

Very tired version of me. So we've got a fantastic show today. We are recapping episode 10 of season two. Bathtub. Bathtub. Let's deep dive. I love the fact that I can say deep dive and bathtub together, y'all. I live for that kind of stuff. Let's deep dive into a recap of what this episode is about. Lamorne, let's go.

Jess wants a bathtub and tries to persuade the guys that bubbles and rosé would be a great gift for everyone in the loft. And she might be right. I mean, what a combination. Nick and Schmidt are completely against simmering in human soup to get clean. I mean, it could be looked at as disgusting, but Winston took majestic baths in a field of goats while playing basketball in Latvia. And he wants that magic bath.

Just so long as none of his male roommates know he wants a tub. Schmidt, sleeping with his boss, has finally paid off. He's given the coveted Double V vodka and vitamins account at work. Now, he meets everyone at the bar to celebrate and learns Cece broke up with Robbie. You see, Robbie's brain short-circuited when Cece revealed she wants to get serious about marriage and children. Big commitment right there.

And Schmidt's brain melts because he can't believe the woman of his dreams is available just as his career is taking off. He's ready to get serious, y'all. He's ready to get serious. Nick thinks seriously about whether the new hot patron who he calls Thirsty is worth breaking his number one rule. Never cross the bar. Say it with me. Never cross the bar. But Thirsty.

Here's the thing about Thirsty. She drinks like Nick. And just like Nick, she is effortlessly cool. And when she fights with her boyfriend, Nick breaks his rule. A heavy round of day drinking later, Nick encourages Angie to end her relationship for good.

Jess and Winston find a rusty ass tub, put it on the roof and fill it with water. This sounds like a fantastic idea so far. But here's the thing. The weight of the tub cracks the roof open and gallons of water spill into the loft and all over Schmidt's suits. Not the suits. Now, here's the deal. They don't have enough cash to replace a $300 pocket square, which is weird because they have a big ass loft that they can't afford to anyway.

So instead of owning their mistake, they fake a robbery. Yeah, brilliant idea, but they're terrible fake robbers. Big ticket items like TV, the douchebag jar, and virtually everything in Jess's room are left behind.

When they learn Schmidt has security cameras, they realize they'll be caught unless they can convince Schmidt to stop searching through years of video. So they stage a second robbery, right? Where they then return all the suits dry clean. I love it when a robbery brings all your stuff back. Cece decides to give Schmidt a second chance. Wow, I love where this is going.

Unfortunately, timing is not on their side. You see, Schmidt finds himself in a difficult position. Does he stay at work, get drunk and prove to his boss that he's serious about the account or leave and make his date with Cece? He stays at work. And while Cece understands, she's unwilling to wait for Schmidt to grow the F up. She calls her mom and asks her to arrange a marriage.

We've all been there. Maybe not all of them. Angie's boyfriend shows up at the bar to rearrange Nick's face. In other words, he wants to fight him with his fist on his face. But he winds up needing stitches himself.

Angie says someone at her job can patch him together. Nick thinks she's a nurse and is shocked to learn she's a stripper. It disturbs him a bit and he leaves. Well, you don't know what you're missing. But Angie comes back to the bar the next day. She likes Nick as much as he likes her. She doesn't have any rules. Thus begins a very, very messy relationship. And that's what happened on season two, episode 10, Bathed Up.

There were so many things that happened in this episode where I was like, what? We did this on our show? It was a real delight to watch. I'm very excited to unpack it. It was. There's a lot going on. I actually completely... I remembered the kind of...

general idea of the episode. I think I remember the A story, but I forgot. I didn't realize this was the episode where Olivia Munn is introduced. No idea. I just remember the cabin episode with her, so I was like, oh. That's the one I remember the most, too. And then I think I didn't... I remember mainly the parts I work on, so I remember my experience. So I just remember being with Lamorne this whole episode. Right.

but not like, you know, I didn't know the stuff that you shot with Max. I didn't know the stuff that Max shot with Carla. I didn't know the stuff that Olivia shot with Jake. I just, I was like, oh, that episode is just me and Lamorne in a bathtub. I even forgot that we pretended to rob. Wait, also, there's so much ridiculous stuff. Yeah.

There's so many weird things that happen here that also, by the way, feel like...

are like huge things in later seasons. And I'm like, oh my gosh, like they manifested so many cool things. We should also just tell our listeners, by the way, Lamorne is not here in this episode. He's not here. It's a girl hang. This is a girl hang episode. And I know you're thinking like, does Zoe only like to hang out with Hannah or something? No, I love Lamorne. I don't like somehow it hasn't worked out. Our schedules haven't worked out.

He was supposed to come to my son's birthday yesterday, but he was packing for a long trip, so he missed it. I was very sad. Okay, one thing about Lamorne. First of all, he asked us to say nice stuff about him on a text this morning. Specifically, he said, say nice stuff. So I'm going to say, Lamorne is a very good gift giver. Very. Very.

He sent over these, like, amazing, like, Lego, like, all these amazing, like, Legos. And my son was, like, so, it was super sweet for Charlie. So, anyway.

He gives great gifts. He also always, I guess unless he has to go on a long flight, but always shows up, which I really appreciate in a friend. Yeah, except for yesterday. But other than that. Yeah, no, he is really – like I remember when I had my first kid and he didn't have any kids. So I'm like, how did he even know? He got me like a baby food maker. It was so – it was like such a thoughtful gift. And I was like –

Like, how does he know? He doesn't have children. He's just like just a sweet guy who gets it. He gets the struggle of a mom. He does. He really does. He also gets the struggle of a tub in this episode because he's the only one that has Jess's back in the loft.

Yeah, like, listen, he also, he specifically said what he wanted us to say about him. One thing about Lamorne is that he's very cute and he's very strong. He's so strong. He's so cute. Yeah, he's so cute and so strong. He's so cute and so strong. We did it. We checked the box. You're welcome, Lamorne. We did. You're welcome. You're cute and strong.

He's so good at branding. Yeah, so this episode, so much going on. This episode really spans the gamut because there's some very tender moments with CeCe and Schmidt. And there's some absolutely ridiculous broad moments with Jess and Winston. Yeah.

Right? It is, though. It's on a very divisive issue on a bathtub. I will agree that people do... You don't usually waffle. People are like, I love to get in the bath and it relaxes me so much. And other people do find it highly disgusting. I...

And I feel like I like a bath, but I never have time to take one. So is that another stance on the issue? No, you like them. Bath sounds great. I feel like I only take a bath if I'm at a hotel or something, you know what I mean? Like where you're not at home. I just like, I have a nice bath, but I never take one. Yeah, I love a bath. I'm done.

I love a bath, but I also have a very British mom who talks about the bath. Yeah, it's very British. The bath. Getting in the bath all the time. So I'm a fan. I was on team Jess and Winston in this episode. I was like, catch your bath. I don't think you need to. I think Jess made a good point. She's like, we could just buy it and have a bath. I don't think you needed this whole nefarious scheme around it.

Yeah. There it was. It is crazy, and it's crazy that no one figured—

Figures out the crackheads. No one calls the police. No one calls the police. Schmidt just gets mad and then he doesn't report it. Also, when he walks in and you guys are like tied up and gagged and he's like, not this again. I was like, that's a very, very small reaction. And the crackheads brought back your suits all in. Dry cleaning. Dry cleaned your suits and brought them back.

Donnick Carey wrote this episode and it's very funny. It's so funny. But it goes into absurdist, bizarro humor of what people do when they panic. Which I enjoy watching.

I enjoy watching it. I enjoy watching it. Yes. Oh, can I say, when you guys come up with this scheme, it's at the jukebox in the bar. And I don't know if you caught this. The Prince thing? But Jess says, yes, Raspberry Pi. Prince had written to me via his manager already at this point. In season two? Yeah. They started dropping hints about Prince because it took a year to get Prince on. Oh.

I got an email from his manager saying, hello, legendary artist Prince is a fan of new girl. And so it could have been a coincidence, but I'm pretty sure at this point I was like, Hey guys, I was like, let me put you on touch with Liz, our show runner. And, uh,

At that point, they knew that Prince maybe had been watching. So it wasn't a manifesting weird, bizarre thing that I saw because I was like, this sounds great. I mean, I don't think so. Because it was quite a, it took quite a time. I mean, I still am like, I can't believe Prince was on the show. I can't believe Prince was on the show. Cannot believe it either.

I can't like it's one of those really bizarre moments in life where you're like, yeah, really happened. So which is how we end that episode. We're like, yeah, I still feel that way. Yeah, I don't understand. That felt like a big manifest moment. I was like, what? But I guess not. Maybe they were just like laying the groundwork to be like, these are some Prince fans.

these characters. Yeah. Yeah. Also the meth storyline. That was the other one because one of my favorite episodes in the later season is when we did that box episode where Jess finds the meth. And it's one of my favorite episodes that we ever did. Yeah, that was a really good episode. Yeah, I really enjoyed that one too. There was another

episode of new girl i forgot i didn't know nothing stills fear in people so you know i guess i guess new girl's like we'll just go there a few times episodically a few times you guys can't see but look i mean hannah can see oh you're drinking out of the welcome to our show mug i love that mug

By the way, I just randomly grabbed this, just not even thinking this morning. It's one of my favorite mugs. It's just, I like that it's big and it's really cool because it has a beer floating in lava, the true American lava. Guys, this is great. We got some great merch on our store. So anyway. Great merch. Check it out. Great merch. I'm enjoying it. Okay. Okay.

to our show. One of my other favorite things, okay, about this episode. Tell me everything. Is the reaction that Schmidt has when he finds out that Cece is single. And it

It's made me think of those moments in life, usually when you're younger than what Schmidt is, but someone you've been waiting on for so long that's always been in a relationship is finally single. And I love the fact that he just can't control his inside voice and it just becomes the outside voice because you're single. You hear that? Officially, she's single. She's single. I shouldn't have received this information in front of her because then maybe I could have processed this better and been cooler, which I think is a very relatable feeling. One thing about Schmidt...

He says so many bad problematic things. Yeah, he does. This episode, I'm like, slow down, bud. Whoa, slow down. You just, you broke your record with that. I actually, at the end when Schmidt says, quote, she's decided to marry a brown person. I was like, why didn't Winston and Jess marry?

Like demand a jar donation at that point like they feel so bad for him that they don't but that's a definite jar That's like a thousand dollars in the jar It's so with this whole episode. I do remember shooting it Just that that that part because it felt like such a huge thing You know that she's now deciding to see she's deciding to embrace having an arranged marriage because it worked for her parents and

But it was something for me personally that kind of scared me a little bit when they introduced, like I read that in the script because my dad was the first in his whole family all the way back that we know of to have a love marriage. None of his brothers and sister did. When my dad did, it was very, very, very, very controversial. Yeah.

And so it's not like I was raised with that. A lot of my friends who are Indian, their parents had arranged marriages. And it was their kids that they were now allowing to pick and choose whomever they would like. But I didn't have that experience. I've always been really outside the culture. So to see that this character was going to go through it, I just remember being like, I mean, this might as well have been your storyline. I was like, I have no...

You have no connection to it. Nothing to pull on it. So it felt very, that was when I was just like, wow, this is like, it's just so separate from anything that I could pull on. And I do remember people on the show, sweetly, asking me for like information to kind of fill in this kind of storyline as we did more and more episodes and went deeper into it that season. And I was like, yo, I got nothing.

Right. Like I think to share about it just because I was really proud of my dad for taking this huge risk and being completely estranged from his family because of it. Well, now there's a show called Indian Matchmaking. Girl, I've watched that whole show. It's amazing. Yeah. So if you want like a lot of information about modern Indian matchmaking. Donnick, I wish this show was around for you.

We would have sent you there. This would have really answered some questions for us. Yeah. No, but this sets up like what happens at the end of the season too. Yeah. The marriage. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, all of that too. The Bollywood dance. I can't. Well, as we know, I can't dance. Nevermind Bollywood dance. But I was like, Hannah, you did. I thought you did great.

That's only because Jake was dancing near me. So comparatively, I was a half a step above him. Like no one takes more delight, I think, in dancing badly than Jake Johnson. I know. He loves it. He loves it. I'm actually, he's my favorite dancer. Me too. I'm actually filled with joy watching him dance because he hates it so much. I know.

I'm going to send you a video. I have a video. I'll see if I can share it. I'll ask Jake if he feels comfortable. But I have a video of they brought they didn't know I was going to be part of that dance or not that happens in that season finale. And so they made me come to the dance rehearsals where Max and Jake and Lamorne had to learn the dance with the Bollywood dancers on like a Saturday or something.

And they ended up not putting me in the dance. So I just got to sit there and I recorded the dance rehearsal because there's no footage of it anywhere.

And it is, it's, it's perfect. It's the most, it's the most perfect thing you could ever hope you could ever want to see in your life. The best behind the scenes of the boys learning to dance. One of my favorite things in the world. Well, I've got an amazing video actually of us all doing that dance. Remember we had the interactive dance thing at the first season. I have a rehearsal video. Oh,

Jake, with the whole group. Oh, no. But, like, oh, it's amazing. And him, like, doing the – like, there's, like, a little move where we're all supposed to, like, pop our collar. But remember, it was, like, Glee was on at the same time as us, and it was, like, they were, like, hey, let's, like – you know, like, I grew up doing musical theater, so I'm, like, totally comfortable with it. But what's funny is I think maybe Liz was, like, on purpose was, like –

I'm never going to give Zoe a dance, but I'm going to give Jake every dance. On purpose, just to mess, not like mess with us, but like she almost like, I think was probably taking advantage of us feeling like,

I'm too comfortable with it, so don't give me that. Give me something I'm very uncomfortable with. Sure. Give Jake something he's very uncomfortable with, like to heighten the comedy. But it was so funny. I was like, how is it that Jake got to dance way more than I did?

Well, I'll say this. She was on to something because I could watch it all day. Oh, I could. Yeah. No, Jake's my favorite dancer. Favorite. I'm going to send that video and I'll see if Jake feels comfortable. Oh, my God, please. And if he does, I'll put it up online. Yeah. And then I'll put up my video. We should just...

Put up any video we have of Jake dancing. It's incredible. Incredible. Okay, so Olivia Munn made her debut in this episode. How pretty is she? She looks amazing. She's so pretty. I mean, she always looks amazing. Yeah, she's just so cute. It's like a time capsule, this show. You get to go back and see what people looked like 10 years ago, and I'm like, you're stunning now. I know. I mean, she always looks great, but she's so cute, and she's got the little raspy voice. I'm like...

I'm like, I just like her vibe is so cute. It has one of my favorite now that I've rewatched it. I'll put it in the favorite box. Favorite. Actually, Nick Miller lines now, now that I know who it is from between Olivia and Jake, where he says, I wrote this down because it just made me laugh. He says to her, you're a whiskey girl like me.

And his face. And it reminded me of. Oh, yeah. She goes, you're a whiskey girl. It reminded me of like one of my favorite movies back in the day. Moonstruck. True. Moonstruck. But Dirty Dancing. Oh, yeah. Remember the I Carried a Watermelon? Like that. Like she's just like, I carried a watermelon. And then he's like, OK, Patrick Swayze. He's like, all right. And she's like, I carried a watermelon.

eat a watermelon. Like, what am I saying? Oh God. And that way he's just like, I'm a whiskey girl like you. And I was like, this is exactly that vibe. I loved it so much. Yeah. It was a great vibe. I love when people say things and they're like, what, what came out of my mouth? What am I doing? Why am I still talking? Yeah. I love it too. I love it too. Um, I do remember we also shot a lot of this episode at the MacArthur park. Oh, cause the rooftop.

Yeah. I mean, my parts. I feel like I was there a lot of this episode. I was at that place. And I remember Lamorne shooting the pop with... Oh, the goat. The goat. Yeah. Downstairs. They like set it all up just a little tableau. Oh my gosh. The goat. That's one of the funniest. Also feels like such a long callback because I don't think by season two you're thinking Winston Latvia. We forgot about Latvia. We forgot.

I'm a lot of it. Quickly. There's the goat. Also, wait, why did they take that? Just like there's so many things that made me laugh in this episode, but they take the bath to the roof and then fill it with cold hose water, which immediately collapses the roof. Yeah. Like when they can take a bath in the cold water in what looks like a very dirty tub. They're like, all right, we filled it with cold hose water. Yeah.

And it looked gross. Is somebody getting in? They're like, are you guys going to like heat it up? Like, how's it going to be warm? Oh, and the MacArthur Park thing. I remember that in the building across from it that was slightly higher, sometimes there would be paparazzi there, which now makes me think of Lamorne having to lay there in his underwear. Oh, lay there in his undies. Yeah, in the orange undies. Right?

He probably laid pretty low that day. Yeah. He's like, if I get flat enough, maybe they won't get a photo. But he is cute and strong, so I don't think it— He's so cute and strong. He's so cute and so strong. It doesn't matter if they take his picture. No. You're great. Because he's proud. He's proud. Yeah, I remember actually kind of dreading being on that roof. There was just—and then the only place to hang was, like, dusty. Remember the, like, dusty—

top floor. Yeah. It was like a construction site inside. It was, yeah, inside, like everything inside was, was a construction site basically. And then, and then it was nice up just if you just stayed up on the roof. Sometimes there wasn't. Yeah.

It felt very exposed. Once we realized what people were watching, too, it just felt very exposed. And they also had really unflattering lenses. I think I've, I'm sure I've told this story before, but like one time they took a picture of me and I was like, oh my God, I look so bad in that outfit. Why did I wear it? And then I watched the episode and I was like, I look totally fine. Like, I look totally fine. Why did I? And then I was like, because they had like some terrible lens on.

Yeah. Well, it wasn't that close. It was a big zoom that they had to do to get our face clear enough to run it in a magazine. Yeah. Yeah. They got some telephoto.

Speaking of strange, another thing that really made me laugh, like, is that a thing? Is when Schmidt talks about his citrus flavored condoms for a refreshing summer experience. And I thought, oh, my gosh. OK, yes, this is a comedy. Someone wrote that as a joke. But there must be.

be people out there that choose like a flavor going like, this will be, this is wonderful. She loves strawberries. Yeah, I think it's mocking of those people

But in my brain, I never knew a person like that would exist. Like in my experience, you know what I mean? I've never known a person, but I'm sure I passed by that in a store. Sure. Sure. Oh, weird. Okay. To each his own. I love that that is Schmidt's like being a considerate lover. He's just like, you know what?

It's summertime. You've had your Aperol spritz. Let's just stay in the same vibe. I was like, oh my gosh. Wait, there were like some, there was like a funny thing. Oh yeah. There was like a pop back thing.

um of nick trying to stop two people from fighting but it was really quick and they looked like they were really not like they both looked like they were like falling asleep and i was like are these supposed to be two people so drunk that they're like sleep fighting that's the one where he's like you both aren't wearing the wrong bar yeah he's like never crossed the bar yeah yes

And he's trying to stop two women from fighting each other, but they're all like, they just look like, like extremely not committed to the fight, but like almost in a drunk, like super kind of way. Now I have to go back and watch it. I'm like, I feel like this is accurate, you know? I feel like that I was distracted because he says...

Like you're both wearing the wrong bras for this. And it just, that line just made me laugh. Oh, that is funny. I didn't even hear that. I was like, what it is by the way, because I used to work in a bar way back in the day. And I was like, it's a very good piece of advice actually to try to keep things professional and,

Yeah. In an environment where people trying to lure you into their little story for the night to like never cross the bar. I was like, that's actually like if you're going to work in a bar, just like remember that as a nice little guideline for yourself. So it doesn't get messy. That was very smart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's a good it's a good good rule of thumb. I've not tended bar, but it seems smart.

Yeah. It seems like people like it's just it's so much interaction with people because it's like more than if you're a server, you have like however many tables. But if you're a bartender, it's like there's just like a stack of people just like, you know, all fast enough. You can't go fast trying to get your attention.

It never ends. It's like when I was trying to serve pie to five and six-year-olds yesterday, and they were all yelling the kind of pie they wanted at the same time. And I was like, I love that you had pie. Apple. Yeah, he likes pie, my son. That's so nice. I love it. He likes pie, not cake. And he also kind of almost...

He was like, he's like, no cake, only pie. And I'm like, I'm going to have a few cupcakes. Like some kids don't like pie, but he was like, but it was actually really cute because a lot of other kids were the same. They don't like cake. They like pie. And he like had to have it. So we had five kinds of pie. You had to cross the bar. That was a lot. To serve the kids their pie. I'll tell you the kinds. Do you want to hear the kinds? Cherry. Yes. Blueberry. Apple. Chocolate. Chocolate pie. And...

Yeah, yeah, it was good. And then strawberry rhubarb, I think. Ooh, that would be my jam right there. Yeah. I was waiting. I was like, is there a... You're like, is there a... And it had a crumble. That one had a crumble top. Mmm. That's... If we're going to go to pie land for a minute, just pop in for a second. Let's go. Let's pop. My favorite type of pie... Tell me. ...is...

Huckleberry pie. Yes. Yum. So good. Huckleberry pie. Huckleberries are so delicious. And I would go into the interior of British Columbia. It's a little town called Rockland. I was going to say, I was like, you said huckleberry and I was like, this has to be like a Vancouver thing because like huckleberry is very delicious.

Pacific Northwest, right? That's right. And you'd have to go. And it's really strange because the huckleberries come out at the same time that all the bears are waking up from hibernation. They hungry and they love the huckleberries. So you go huckleberry picking for your pies.

but you have to be very careful and quick. Because you don't want to fight a bear for your huckleberries. No. They just woke up. They're very hungry. They're very hungry. It's a thrilling pie experience. It is. Now, do you like a streusel top or do you like a plain, like a classic pastry top? I'll take it either way. I love pie. I'll take it either way. Yeah, it's good. Pie is great. Pie is great. You know what's even better? What?

Pie with ice cream on top. Love it. Love it. I was horrified when I moved to America and I learned about like slice of cheddar cheese or something. That's a weird thing. Goes on like apple pie. That's a weird American thing. That's an old fashioned thing, I think. Mel's Diner, I think, does it. Mel's Diner will give you like cheese. Yeah, it feels like very like...

Mid early 20th century kind of weird stuff. I do think apple like on a cheese plate. I enjoy just like an apple. Delicious. Or a pear, you know. Delicious. It just threw me off. Cheese plate's another thing I enjoy. You know what I mean? In addition to a pie.

Listen, you guys, this is the episode where we dive into... Should we talk about pie instead? Bath-ups and pies. We're done. I'm tired, but... When we come back from the episode, we're going to get... Back from the episode, that's how distracted my brain is by the thought of pie. Well, you're tired because it's late. I'm tired because it's a birthday party. And listen, like, we're allowed. We're allowed.

When we come back, we're going to get back into the episode. Deep dive into the bathtub. Deep dive. Deep dive.

And we're back. And we're back. We're diving deep into that bathtub that is this episode. Swimming around. Okay, Schmidt's love proposal. I forgot this happened too. Is so sweet. And then he gets put in this very difficult position with his boss. Yeah. And she says, is anything more important? And man, I know...

I just like I really felt for him as a character in that moment. It's really hard if you've got a huge opportunity at work and you've also just gotten this like it feels like a once in a lifetime pass with this person.

Yeah. It's so, so, so hard. I just, I don't know. New Girl does that sometimes where it's such a funny show. I mean, you guys are pretending to be meth heads and robbing your own apartment. Also one of my favorite scenes when Jess is just sort of like, I don't think they'd be interested in anything in my room. Such a female response to be like, let's not make the bit going here. I don't know. It felt like a little kid. It was just like...

No, we don't want to steal anything from this room. I love what we're doing, this imaginative play, but in my stuff. Don't touch it. Not my toys. No. No. It was a really funny moment in the frenzy. It was so funny and relatable. So you have this like crazy absurdist mayhem going on, but then you have this real Sophie's choice that I think a lot of people that are trying to building their career and also trying to find their partner. Yeah.

Or have families have been pregnant sometimes where your boss is asking something unreasonable. I'm like, girl, that's what I thought. I said, text. Have a little respect and text the woman you love. I thought about that, but then I also know, like, if you're saying you got this one chance with this girl, if you're like, sorry, work thing came up, that's also in a weird way just as bad. Yeah, maybe he's thinking...

No, but you could say like, hey, I had this really important proposal. It's a very long story. I want to tell you all about it. Would it be possible to move our date to tomorrow or the next day? Right. I'm trying to be mature. Whenever's convenient for you. Right. Anything you want. Breakfast, 6 a.m., I'll be there. But the fact that he shows up drunk after being with his ex and then has like the drunk truth serum of like, I only thought about her boobs once.

And I had no emotional connection to them. You're just like, please stop. Like, stop. Stop talking. What are you doing? Don't. Stop talking. Stop talking. But we're both, we're all, you know, Schmidt's a flawed guy. And that's what we enjoy watching about him. Love it. It just breaks your heart, though, because you're like, oh. I saw Max yesterday. Oh, how was Max? It was so nice. Yeah. He came to Charlie's birthday. So nice.

When I get back, we have to do a big old pie party? Yeah, we'll do it. Let's do a pie party. Yeah. I'm into it. Let's do a pie party with the old crew. I'd love it. We can do it at my house. We've really figured some things out on this podcast today. Yeah, we're going to do a pie party. Anything else? Cheese plate, pie party. Cheese plate, pie party. But separate. I do want to text. I'm going to text...

maybe? And ask him about the raspberry beret drop, because now I'm really curious because if for justice be like, that's my favorite Prince song. I can look up when print, when that email came in, if you want. Uh,

When did that email come in and what was the air date? And when did we shoot this episode? Oh, shoot the episode. Yeah, that's a good idea too. We will get this information and in next week's episode, we will share and then we will know. Look, this is like forensic. Or the week after, depending. Yeah, or the week after. On how fast we are finding this information. But there will be an update that will come to you. It's forensic. At some point.

Law and order. New Girl, season two. Law and order. Yeah. CSI, maybe is that better? More CSI? Yeah. Mariska Hargitay is coming on to tell you the answer. Look at the evidence. That's not true. I can't offer that. Okay.

That'd be kind of great to be like, we have a lot of unsolved mysteries here on. Can you solve them? Could you solve them? Here are all of the scripts. You play a detective on television. Can you please solve our problem? This is a television show. This is a television show. It feels like it makes sense. It feels like it does.

Okay, so we're going to throw to our dear friend, cute and strong and handsome Lamar Morris, who's going to give us a little favorite memory from the episode. Can't wait to hear it. Nick's Box is brought to you by Hyundai. When it comes to your journey, Hyundai is thinking of every mile.

So I think my favorite memory from this episode from bathtub was we were filming at Park Plaza, I believe, and they set up what was supposed to be Latvia and they put me in a bathtub. And I think there was a goat and all kinds of stuff that was there. That's got to be my favorite part of that episode or my favorite memory from that episode. I mean, there was a lot of funny, cool stuff that I got to do in that episode and

But this one in particular was pretty silly. I thought it was, as I was filming, I thought, what are we doing? This is so stupid. But I would say that had to be my favorite.

Thanks for bringing out Nick's Box, Hyundai. Remember, from shopping to buying to owning, Hyundai has your back. Like our favorite memories, taking a Hyundai on your journey will keep you feeling safe and warm. Learn more at HyundaiUSA.com.

Okay, so Hannah, you often, or not often, every episode you look at if there's a bear in it to see if our fans are correct that there's a bear in every episode. Did you find a bear in this episode? Where's the bear? Long story short, I did not.

Find a bear in this episode, which I will say is the first time in a very long time in this season so far, what, episode 10? I've found all the bears. And so what I will say, and I will do it, I think it begs a rewatch where I'm so focused. This episode kind of distracted me because I was- A berry watch. Yeah, a berry watch. A berry watch.

We got pie in the brain. Well, yeah. Well, I was going to say, if there's not a bear in the episode of the show, there is a bear in the episode of this podcast. And that is the bear that you had to fight for those huckleberries. That's right. Went into your ding old pies. You know, just talked about almost having a bear attack for the pie. We talked about it. It was discussed. You guys heard it here first. Yeah.

That's true. Without intention. Wow. What if that's where the thing. Yeah. If now that becomes a thing. Revisionist bear history. If it's between now, it's a new fan theory. I'm just going to drop this in here. New fan theory of there's a bear in every episode of new girl and the podcast.

Then we can make that happen. Yeah, but I didn't even mean to. So I have to like be very tired. So it organically happens out of me. It did. But now that I know it's a bit, it could, you know, now I'm going to. Well, it happened organically this time. And, you know, we listen, we won't keep our hopes up, but maybe it'll happen again if there's no bear. Yeah.

It'll be like those game shows, you know, when they bring on hosts or guests, sorry, and then they don't tell them the secret word. And if they say the secret word somehow, like everybody drinks and it's a great thing. If we have a guest, oh, if we have a guest, I hope they're not listening right now. Yeah, we go like, hmm, necessities, hmm, necessities, grin and hmm it.

Say it. Say the word. Say it. We need it. We need it for the theories. We don't care if it's B-E-A-R or B-A-R-E. Don't care. Or all of the other. We don't care.

I appreciate your support. We've really solved some problems here today. We have. You know, it was such a delight to see you. It was restorative to me. All right. I love you, Hannah. I love you. We love you fans and listeners and even the people who hate listen. I don't care. We still love you. Yeah.
