Summary
Well, well, WELL we have ourselves a very special guest this week: none other than Jake Johnson, el capitan of 505! That's right - Jake directed this episode of New Girl, and he joins us in the middle of a torrential Los Angeles rain storm to discuss his experience at the helm. We also discuss many other things not associated with the episode at all, as you can imagine - but we wouldn't have it any other way.
