Loft Meeting: Kicking Jake Johnson for Therapeutic Release

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

Now Loft Meeting.

Speaker 2

We are calling a Loft meeting.

This is our Loft made show where we welcome special guests and fans of the Loft to talk about all things New Girl Today.

Speaker 1

It's just us to but we have some fan questions.

Speaker 2

So we got a little deep in our last episode and a little vulnerable.

So that's where we're going in this Loft Meeting.

So question number one comes from Andy from Florida.

Have you had any moments as actors where you did feel some therapeutic release?

Speaker 1

What is that like?

Cold?

I answer this, Oh yeah, okay, it's when I got to kick Jake Johnson in the nuts.

Speaker 3

What.

Speaker 2

Yeah, So there was a scene where I get to like, I get to go in and I'm mad about whatever happened with he did something to the Jess character, and I literally think I just marched into the bar and I just like punch or kick him in the nuts, and then I think I leave.

Speaker 1

I remember it's later on in.

Speaker 2

The series, and I remember that felt very cathartic, and I remember Jake seeing the look in my eyes like, oh wow, she's really I think she could put a little power in that punch.

And they were like she's just gonna fake it so you don't need a cup, and he's like, I would like a cup.

I would like a cup.

I think I need a cup.

She's got some fire in her eyes.

I'd like a cup.

And then knowing he had a cup, I was just sort of like, ugh, I can kind of really kind of lean into this feeling for all those men that have wrung all my girls, and I got to do it in character and I got a punch him in the junk.

I think that was the expression news on the show.

So that's a yes, Andy.

Speaker 1

What about you?

Lamarn?

Speaker 4

First of all, Hannah, I just want to say that is aggressive on your part.

Is disturbing a job?

Well, it's disturbing that you felt great about it and that you took it out on my lovely beloved Jake Johnson, which is why he ended up having twins afterwards.

Split he split his tectacles into or into three.

I should say so for me, I would say anytime I get to play basketball on this show, in particular, we have some basketball related scenes.

Basketball is my comfort place.

It is where I feel the most just relaxed.

A vacation for me is literally just shooting around you know, like at a gym with non competitive people, so when you're on when you're on the set, it's clearly non competitive.

So we used to have the basketball hoop outside of of our stage, and so every day it was we would end up getting as sweaty as could possible be me, Jake, Max and guest stars who would come on, and it was like for me, it was a big stress reliever and it made days go by longer.

So anytime I can have a basketball hoop in a scene, then yeah, that right there is very therapytic.

Thank you, Andy from Florida.

Speaker 3

All right.

Speaker 1

Question two, Emma from Iowa.

Speaker 2

If you could play at a moment from your real life on screen, what moment would you choose.

Speaker 4

A real moment?

Man's that's tough because as an actor you get to do a lot of cool stuff, a lot of cool stuff, And.

Speaker 2

I feel like this show always kind of was like like New Girl.

A lot of it was a lot of art imitating life.

They pulled a lot from our lives, and it was we were all kind of in that same stage of life where we were, you know, you no longer living with your parents, you know, in a fully domestic at least you and I.

We were not, like, you know, married, kids or anything.

So it was very similar to what was happening in the show.

And so there was so many things that felt so close to home, these weird moments with roommates or friends or dating that just made it into the show so weirdly, I think you get to see a bunch of them here on the show when you rewatch it.

Speaker 1

And I'm trying to think of anything cool.

Speaker 2

That's happened where I was like that was, I'd like to do that again.

Speaker 4

Now for me, I there was a movie that I'd done where I played this really smart guy, like a tech genius, really like the best in the world, and I ended up becoming super rich at the end of the movie, and I'm like, dressed all fancy, I got a nice suit, I got on jewelry, and I'm in this truck filled with cash and gold and all this stuff like that, And that is something that is I want to do that in real life.

I want to see what is like to own a private jet and just bricks and bricks of gold.

Speaker 1

The questions the opposite my real life.

Speaker 4

On screen, I thought it was the reverse.

Speaker 1

I thought it was I do like.

I like your version though too.

Speaker 2

Look, Emma, I love your question, but I like lamore if you interpretation a lot too.

Speaker 4

Well, you got that, you got the answer you got because uh my real if I can play it on screen, no, because I already did it.

Already did it.

Speaker 2

Okay, Okay, Let's move on to Eric from Wisconsin, Holy smokes hysterical.

Okay, Eric from Wisconsin and episode two one three, Zoe plays a pretty convincing Elvis.

Speaker 1

Oh, this is like a Wheelhouse question for you, bro.

Speaker 2

If you had to impersonate a famous singer, who would you choose and what song would you sing?

Speaker 1

Okay, I know my answer, your.

Speaker 4

Uh mine would probably be.

Speaker 2

You could almost do anybody.

You are like a really good parrot.

Speaker 4

Well, I impersonate a lot of and you're a.

Speaker 1

Good singer in your own right, and you're a good parent.

Speaker 4

Yeah, well, thank you, thank you very much.

I would say I would know this one is different, this one is interesting.

I would like to play out.

I would like to sing quondo quondo kwondo by Engelbert humperdink or any or maybe I would like I would like to impersonate Mandy Patinkin somewhere over the rainbow that well, I can't.

That's what you said, if you if you you know, if you had to try.

No, are you going to do it too?

Speaker 1

Yeah, I'll do mine, fucking liar, I will, I swear of got.

I just pulled up the lyrics so I can.

Speaker 4

Do it really Yeah, Okay, you go first.

Speaker 1

Okay.

Speaker 2

So here's I'm the polar opposite to you in so many ways, and so I can't sing.

Speaker 1

I can't.

Speaker 2

I just don't have that gift.

Okay, I don't have it.

I'm also like not the greatest parrot, so I can't.

So but one of my favorite singers of all time Canadian legend is Leonard Cohen.

Speaker 1

Okay, and Leonard and I both were blast with pretty deep voices.

Speaker 2

Okay, so I'm gonna do my Leonard Cohen impersonation of one of my favorite songs ever.

Speaker 5

It's called Everybody Knows.

Everybody knows that the boat is sinking.

Everybody knows that the captain live.

Everybody's got this broken feeling like their mama or the dog just die.

Speaker 6

Everybody's hands are in their pockets, everybody wont sub box of chocolates and a long stemros.

Everybody knows ooh.

Speaker 3

Speaker 4

I don't care, I don't.

Speaker 1

I'm never sang.

I don't sing.

Speaker 2

I can't sing unless i'm singing.

Like, by the way, I've also never tried to do that before.

Speaker 1

I was like this, really, I think in my brain because I know I have a low voice, I can talk.

I can talk.

Speaker 2

And then I forgot that he does that weird part where the song goes.

Speaker 5

I'm like, we're gonna go.

Speaker 4

I've never heard that song.

That was my first time hearing that song too.

Speaker 2

Oh it's dark the whole thing.

Like if you hear the first verse, I'll just say it just so you know.

This song is crazy.

Everybody knows the dice are loaded.

Everybody knows with their fingers or everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.

Everyone knows that the war is over.

Everybody knows that the good guy's lost.

Everyone knows the fight is fixed.

The poor stay poor and the rich get rich.

That's how it goes.

Everybody knows this man to all the truth.

He was a poet and but he couldn't truly sing sing, but he was.

He wrote all these incredible but books of poetry, and then he just delivered it like how I just kind of delivered it.

And it's so powerful.

But the things he says, when you listen, you're like, damn, you ain't like that man.

Speaker 4

That man that's coming from Canada too.

I thought Canada was all teatres man talking about.

Speaker 2

All right, So Mandy Patinkin somewhere over the Rainbow, you had a you better try.

Speaker 4

I can't do Mandy pinking somewhere with rainbow.

I gotta do a different one.

That's Mandy Patinkin is one of the greatest singers of all time.

And my voice doesn't do that.
