We're heartbroken over the news about Rob Reiner, our beloved Bob Day. This episode was recorded prior to the devastating development. We will plan to celebrate Rob and his unforgettable contribution to the New Girl universe in an upcoming episode. For this week, we reminisce about filming with JJ Watt and Nora Dunn, Winston's shower dance, Nasim Pedrad's comic genius, and more. Follow @TheMessAroundPod on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

We thought it might be merry & noggy & gingerbread-y to revisit our previous New Girl-mas episodes this month! So this week we take a peek back at our "Welcome to Our Show" era recap of season 2, episode 11 "Santa." North Pole playa 4 life! (different episode quote, but relevant). Next week we'll be back with a little new bonus something something for ya.

This whole episode is kind of like a walk of shame, of sorts. Everyone's looped outta their minds. Metaphorical stumbling in heels. Hair looks great. Could use more singing about woodland creatures. Fond memories of Josh Gad and Jeremy Long appear like sugarplum fairies. Wait, am I looped, too?? Aren't we all?? Follow @TheMessAroundPod on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Hey gorgeous babes! We thought it would be fun & festive to revisit our original recaps of holiday episodes this month. So for the next two Fridays we'll bump those up to the top of the pile. Then on the third Friday?? A little something extra for ya! This recap of 109: The 23rd features the one & only Zooey Deschanel and was recorded during our 'Welcome To Our Show' era. Quite the throwback! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Attention all Jar Men and Smushers: arachnophobia is no laughing matter. Except - well - see, there's a real classic mess around in this podcast episode that makes even the arachnophobe writing this paragraph cackle. Also arachnophobia is a laughing matter when it involves Schmidt, of course. So the original statement is true, but there are loopholes. Such is life! God this is such a good episode (New Girl 417 AND the pod). Follow @TheMessAroundPod on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Rate The Mess Around on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! This is a Headgum podcast.

The entire New Girl gang goes to Oregon for Jess's Dad's wedding, etc etc etc yes we DO talk about that but ALSO more importantly we learn that people who live in Portland "don't use umbrellas" ???

If you're wondering if Lamorne is still sick, YES. And now also Hannah. So, they're both a little bit loopy!! But as a wise man once said, The Crawl is for all. The sniffly-nosed, the brain-fogged and sneezy schnozzed; the puffy-peepered and sleepy keisters. And this is an iconic episode, so there is much to talk about!
