Blueberry Pancakes

New things we’re trying this week—making the bar patrons pay for their drinks and going to the aquarium to heal heartbreak. While one is the result of shenanigans and one leads to shenanigans, it gets more complicated than that. Maybe the motivations for putting up a punching bag and orchestrating a Guy’s Night at the bar come from trying to please one girl, while the ambition and sheer lack of la...

It’s party time again, and this time we’re celebrating Nick and Schmidt’s 10-year roommate anniversary. Can Jess handle Nick, can Jax handle Jess, can Nick handle party chores? Does Jess really want a man who can express his feelings, is Cece really on board to “do this thing” with Shivrang, and just how many people can run away from the same party before it’s not a party anymore? Join us for an e...

In episode 17 of season 2 of New Girl, who really deserves the parking spot? Is it Schmidt who discovered the spot, but thought he could cheat by peeing inside his own body (but later peed his pants)? Is it Jess who's been bribing Outside Dave with lattes and using her body on Nick? Is it Winston, wearing Daisy's yoga pants with "YUM" on the butt, on an unsuccessful mission instead of hanging in t...

What happens when 5 extra people show up to Cece's Indian marriage convention? There will be lust, there will be confessions, there will be hula hoops. Someone will get punched--multiple times in multiple locations. "Turban on or turban off" will be the least of your questions. How do you train to catch strawberries for a Lil Wayne video? How do a couple of people (not a couple!) angry-engineer th...

Is Nick wearing a woman's coat? Is there a reason Jess is Nick's specific "cooler?"  What happens when you leave Jess alone with her imagination, and what lengths must she go to in order to get all of these people in the same room together? Is there such thing as a beautiful woman who is attracted to pain and misery, and will she be turned off by the woman's coat? Will Winston learn to talk to wom...

Choose your own adventure! You can pick an alias and a cool hat and follow Nick to Edgar’s shed. Or you can stay at the loft and help wrangle Schmidt’s centaur boots and decide if it’s better to know your POGO. Does the annoyance bowl measure up to the douchebag jar? What happens when you don’t agree on your safe word ahead of time? Will Nick’s natural enemy always be The Plumber? We ask these and...

Cool guy power! How does one pull off a con? Slowly with chopsticks? No! Number 1-master feely cup. Number 2-buy a bunch of hats for young girls who root for the bills. No 3-convince Blue Eyes to invest in a horse for a second chance at a father’s love, end up losing a game of Sugar Ray and skip town without your pants immediately for the next con! Join Jami and Calli for lucky episode 13 of seaso...

It’s January in New Girl land, and that means the Street Youths are at it again!! Schmidt and Winston pretend to try to score some crack, and end up in a Hilarious Misunderstanding where no one gets robbed but Winston does finally get his fro yo. Nick wears lady’s shades on his free weekend with Angie at Sam’s boss’ cabin. Cabin shenanigans ensue: Jess + boom stick = no electricity for the night,...

Don’t throw the cranberries! Join Jami and Calli for their discussion of the Christmas episode of season 2 of New Girl! The gang heads out for the evening in an attempt to hit as many Christmas parties as possible. Jess’ goal is to avoid Sam, but there is no avoiding him. Does Nick make his plane home for Christmas, should Schmidt put money in the douchebag jar for any of his comments, what is a t...

Blueberry Pancakes has a word that’s going to change your life: Bathtub! Thus begins the episode of many pitches—some of which were made in a suit with a giant golden lightning bolt on the back! If you choose to break the rules, as Street Youths are known to do, and cross the bar, it might get messy. Is it a good idea to fill a bathtub while it’s on the roof? Does Jess know that her closet door is...

Z is for Zombie! Join us, Street Youths, for the newest episode of Blueberry Pancakes covering episode 9 of season 2 of New Girl where we learn how many eggs we have left and what zombies and zoos have in common. How many times does Winston mention his “adjusted schedule,” how do you get hot glue off of skin, and how exactly do you let the snakes out? We don’t know all the answers but we do know y...

Thanksgiving again! Season 2, and the Schmidts are grilling! Jess is on a parent trap train apparently not for the first time. We discuss the hierarchy of fake Hollywood beer and Jess’ evil Parent Trap face. Do we really want to be a fly on the wall or are we glad they spared us the visual details of some of the events of the Schmidt olympics? Don’t miss the big, beautiful side characters in this...

  Nick is not the poorest or the angriest in the this episode!! Which means poor Jess is trying to make the guys understand about the “red devil in my belly!” Join us for puppies in cups, water massage, and many lessons—good and bad. We pretend to know stuff ahout IMS—irritable male syndrome, Watsu therapy and the effect of the alpha female. Don’t get sabotaged by your baby box, find your magical...

 This is Halloween, Street Youths! Come along on a fun adventure with your favorite Blueberry Pancakes hosts! What do a bride, a ninja turtle and young Abe Lincoln have in common? It can only mean one thing—Halloween shenanigans! We’d like to see Nick get the guitar out in the loft, and we need to know how Robby cut himself on a pumpkin! Does a clown nose count as dressing up? Can Jess punch Nick...

Gave me cookie, got you cookie! For all you Street Youths, we have another episode for you! We’re exploring important topics from the 5th episode of season 2 like if Jess is a Russian monkey cartoon or if she’s Giggle Bangs Rice Bowl. What kind of cookies are best suited to be a piece of your heart? How will Nick decide to celebrate his tin anniversary with Schmidt? Please don’t ever boob slap any...

Street Youths, we have another one for you—season 2, episode 4 of our beloved New Girl! We cover deep topics like the ambience of found furniture and sitar music. We wonder what the cut off is for “spoilers” in generations who are new to stuff and if Winston deserves the title of “Prank Sinatra.” We even flex a little 80’s sitcom knowledge ourselves! We are grateful to be old enough to not have to...

 Street Youths, you unexpected geniuses! Here we are for a 3rd episode of the infamous 2nd season of a little badass show called New Girl. Everyone is making decisions for everyone else, and that can’t lead to anything good. We explore what it means to help someone pick out and/or help build a piece of furniture, why Jess would not have chosen pink wine for this particular occasion, if cheating an...

Join Katie, Jess, Bearclaw, Andy and 2 Nicks for just one of many shenanigans in this episode! Jess goes off the grid and juggles 2 men with the help of all the pink wine Nick can pour. Our Nick meets future Nick, and has so many questions for him. Schmidt takes on a WNBA player in a bet for a date (of course). Always eat blueberry pancakes, but a bearclaw would be an acceptable substitute this we...

Look sharp, ya dumb ass! Questions we ask in this, the first episode of the second season of our beloved New Girl: is it really possible that Nick is fine after the most recent events, what does Jess use to help Schmidt with his itch, what kind of drink does a coal miner drink, what is Robby’s brand besides possibly Lord of Winterfell, and who sings a better Groove is in the Heart?

Hey, Street Youths! We’re finally getting around to the season 1 finale! We’re wrapping up Season 1 of New Girl with discussions of the first season as a whole, the characters, villains, love interests! We also chat about our prior knowledge of White Fang, how “in the middle of the desert” they actually are, Remy’s finished “broom,” and Slim Jims as a meal.

What do a smooth jazz album, a Disney pirate movie and Shaquille O’Neal’s birthday party have in common? Would you make a video at the end of a breakup warning your future self not to get back together with your ex? Can it possibly be a timing thing and does that even matter? Only one marriage proposal in this episode, but it’s pretty exciting anyway, so check out this penultimate Season 1 episode...

 Jami and Calli deep dive into the 22nd episode of this fantastic show, entitled Tomatoes. We continue the conversation about if passion equals a healthy relationship. We wonder if it’s Nick who is the quitter or if it’s Jess. We also explore more important topics like scarecrows, nudity in the steam room, if Mickey Mouse should be earthbound, and penis fractures. Shake your ass like the quitter y...

Who really is the “kid” in the title of this episode? Is it Russell’s daughter Jess is attempting to teach about Italy? Is it Joe, who Winston just needs to get to the show? Is it Nick’s girlfriend who knows Russell’s daughter from the bus? Or could it be the Indian in the Cupboard? Nothing that 7 copies of Speed on VHS can’t help us solve! Don’t forget to revisit the bloopers for a great Schmidt...

JFK! FDR! Jami and Calli finally get to discuss True American AND show off their extensive knowledge of peach basket catch-it-up! We ponder life’s big questions—what makes them hangover eggs, is the shiv to be used by or on a gentleman, how do they not fall off the chairs while drinking all the beers, how exactly did the elevator cables wear out in the first place, and how do you take back control...

When one big secret comes out, many many more can’t help but follow. We discuss secrets (duh!), confessions and things better left unsaid. We start down the rabbit-hole of disney-fying the gang of 4D. Our transitions may be bursting at the seams, but the giggling covers it up.
