It's Schmidt's 29th birthday, and minor chaos ensues! Welcome back to our New Girl rewatch where today, it's all about "The Story of the 50."

Jenn and Jaime (@elspunko) are joined by their longtime pal Chels (@chels725) to discuss watching the show live, Lizzy Caplan's debut in this episode, Schmidt's deep insecurities, whether he deserved to put $50 in the jar, and how to pronounce "charcuterie."

Enjoy!
