I used to have so many men.
How this beguiling woman in her 50s.
She looked like a million bucks.
Scams a bunch of famous athletes out of untold fortunes.
Nearly $10 million was all gone.
It's just unbelievable.
Hide your money in your old rich man,
because she is on the prowl.

How you doing? You look sweaty. Why are you sweaty?
So, I worked out today
right before we started recording. I jumped on, like most people in the world, I bought a Peloton
bike. Oh, right. Well, not most people, people that can afford an expensive Peloton bike. Well,
according to the stock market, which is failing right now, Peloton is the one product that is succeeding in these troubling times.
Well, yeah, because no one can go to the gym and it's like a subscription thing.
Right.
So how was it?
A bunch of people have bought Peloton bikes.
Right.
And I am now riding with those people.
How long do you go for, 45?
I did a 30-minute class just just now but this dude kicked my ass you know the last time
i did it i had a uh you know i tried to pick a you know we talked about this i don't have to
dance around your words you tried to pick a hot chick yeah i do i do have to dance around my
words i am i am i'm sure your wife knows that you tried to pick a hot chick she does know she well
she picked it.
I kind of tricked her into picking it.
Right.
She was like, what do you want?
I'm like, I don't know.
I prefer someone that looks a little bit like her.
Right.
And so I complained after the workout about how the person talked too much
and the stuff you do when you want to deflect.
Right. And my wife was like, well, you know, the stuff you do when you want to deflect. Right.
Right.
And my wife was like, well, I'll pick someone for you this time.
So she picked this dude who was like a dude and was very commanding and everything like that and demanding.
Was that better for you?
Was it a better workout?
It was a better workout for me.
But then I started thinking to myself, well, maybe I'm playing this role wrong in my relationship with my wife.
She picked the dude that's like, now get on the bike.
Now pedal faster, goddammit.
But maybe that's good for you.
Pedal harder.
Pedal harder, motherfucker.
Maybe that's what you need.
Maybe I need to switch up my style.
Instead of being the passive, you know, gentle,
you know, sensitive guy, you know,
the guy who loves
puppy dogs and moon
beams. I need to be that motherfucker
now, you know what I'm saying? Well, I think
that's probably good for you. I got to admit,
I don't have a Peloton bike, but if I got one,
I think I would probably pick
the pretty attractive
girl to yell at me. I'm never going to pick the pretty attractive girl again. Well, I'm sure there's probably the pretty attractive girl to yell at me.
I'm never going to pick the pretty attractive girl again.
Well, I'm sure there's probably a pretty attractive girl who'll scream at you if you want.
But what you're saying is you got better results from the dude who was like, pedal, motherfucker.
You got to pedal right now, goddammit.
You ain't pedaling hard enough.
Right.
For me, it's all about the music.
If the music's good, if I like the music, I
go to a spin class and I will go
so hard. But I can't get into
it when it's music
I don't like. I hate that. Yeah, I know. I totally understand.
I hate getting on a bike and having
to listen to something
that I'm not in the mood to hear. So did the angry
guy have good music? Oh, it was straight
up hip-hop all day, every day. Oh, it was perfect for you.
You love that. It was straight up hip hop
and it was good hip hop too.
DMX, Lil Wayne, old school Lil Wayne.
Oh, see, that's perfect.
See, I think that's the key.
Obviously, you want someone who's going to push you
and be like, come on, you wimp.
You got this.
But I think it's all about the music.
I don't want you to call me a wimp.
You could call me a motherfucker,
but don't call me a wimp.
You know what I mean?
You'd rather be called a motherfucker than wimp?
Yeah, absolutely.
Wow, I got to write that down.
I am learning new things about you on this podcast.
From here on out, if you want me to respond in a way that is positive,
hey, motherfucker, what's up?
Do you want to count us in to the theme song as that guy?
All right, here we go.
God damn it.
Y'all get ready for this.
Five, six, seven, eight, motherfuckers. Here's some stories about a show we go. God damn it. Y'all get ready for this. Five, six, seven, eight, motherfuckers.
Here's some stories about a show we made.
About a bunch of docs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate.
I said here's the stories that we all should know.
So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
I'm so sorry, everyone.
I think that Donald has lost his damn quarantine mind.
Tell him what else you bought for your kids.
You sent me a video.
First of all, Donald's like, he doesn't have a pool at his house.
He's like, I'm running out of things for my kids to do.
They're going crazy.
I got this water thing for them in the backyard.
I pictured a kiddie pool.
Dude, you bought like a fucking water park, an inflatable water park.
I bought an inflatable water park, and we set it up.
And I sincerely thought that these kids, like most most kids were going to spend the whole day in the
water park how fast were they over it they were over it in 45 minutes and we spent so much money
on this thing i'll bet dude it is like this morning we were like you guys ready for the water park and
they were like i'm good describe it to people it's in it's the size of like three cars no it's about
the size of a nice big ass pickup truck like a Like a Ford, you know, like the big shit.
You know what I mean?
Right, right.
And it's huge.
And also, our backyard isn't grass.
It's fake grass.
Right.
Well, that's good.
Yeah, well, now your thing won't fuck with the lawn.
The problem is, underneath that, it's just hard.
And so, you know, you climb up this big-ass ladder about 10 feet up,
and then you slide down a slide into the pool at the bottom.
And they're sliding onto concrete.
Now, granted, we did worse than that when we were kids.
But to watch my wife panic and lose her shit, it was a funny thing.
Oh, every time they come down the slide?
Oh, my God.
Every time the kid climbed up, every time the kid slid down,
she was like, I got to go inside.
I'm going to have a heart attack out here.
And so- Did you have a slip and slide when you were a kid?
I mean, you were-
Yeah, we used to slip and slide on concrete though.
You know what I mean?
Wait, in Manhattan, in the city?
Yeah, in the city.
So I grew up in a building that had a big ass playground in the middle, like most buildings
in Manhattan when you live in tall buildings.
in the middle like most buildings in manhattan when you live in tall uh buildings and they had and and and you know if somebody bought a slip and slide we'd put it down on the concrete on
the playground and just slide on that that's so dangerous if you catch it right it's fine but if
you don't catch it right yeah you're gonna hit your head on the i don't remember a slip and
slide ever being fun like there was so much fun in setting it up and then you'd go down at once
and you'd be like ow why no well that depends on it right if you don't know how to slide it hurts like it hurts
i wonder if they still sell slip and slides because they're so they're gonna be like lawsuits
they've even padded them now so a slip and slide is now padded so that when you run and jump and
dive you can you've got a little bit of a bounce these kids today donald they need padded slip and
slides they have it good when When I was a kid,
we hurt ourselves. I remember
setting it up on the lawn, and my stepfather
had just spent a fortune residing
the lawn, and he came home
and he was like, what the hell
did you do? And I was like, we're slip
and sliding. And he's like, the lawn was all
trashed and muddy.
He had
just spent a fortune, reached out and
it looked like beautiful dream lawn.
You know how some people are about their lawns.
Similar to how you were
when my wedding was over.
Yeah, you trashed my lawn, but you know what?
It was all in the name of love. I'll do anything for you.
You and your family can trash
my lawn any day.
You put down a dance floor.
Yeah, but not on a lawn.
No, no.
But on an area.
It was a bocce court, but now it's a garden.
But you put down a full.
I mean, I was shocked with the effort that went into that.
It looked beautiful.
And I was, for a minute, I was like, we should keep it.
And then people were like, well, it's not really meant to be permanent.
It's not weatherproof.
Yeah, you'd have a greenhouse without any greens in it, pretty much. No, I mean, I didn't mean they tented it because we were worried it was going to rain,
but they had put down this beautiful flooring for your wedding, and I was like, oh my God,
maybe I should keep that. And then someone told me, no, it's not weatherproof. It's meant to be
last a weekend. So we took it down. But God, your wedding was really beautiful, I got to say.
Well, dude, thank you very much for helping us out there, man.
The cost of the wedding dropped dramatically when you said,
you can do it in my backyard.
Well, I was so happy to be able to do that for you,
and it was a beautiful ceremony, and I'll never forget it.
The way you guys did it, the designer of it,
whoever did all the decor and everything,
it was almost like a farm vibes, you know?
Like farm tables.
We tried to make it country meets soul.
Yeah, country meets soul.
I remember there was a gospel.
There was a lot of music.
There was a gospel choir.
We had a...
What did they sing?
They sang a song from Sesame Street?
No, they sang a song from the Muppets.
Everything is great.
Everything is grand.
I got the whole wide world in the palm of
my hand. Everything is perfect. It's falling into place. I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face.
Life's a happy song when there's someone by my side to sing along.
That's so beautiful. That's so beautiful. How did you guys pick that?
I mean, I never heard anyone.
I picked that song.
So the new Muppet movie had come out.
It had been out, I guess.
But the music from that movie obviously is amazing.
It won an Oscar.
But that song is the, I believe it's the first song of the movie.
And so it's the number one number.
And Muppet songs are always dope.
The Rainbow Connection.
Right, but I mean, I had never heard that song.
And just so people can picture it, I had told all my neighbors,
like, we're going to have a big-ass wedding.
And I sent them, like, little gift baskets.
And I sent them a letter saying, hey, it's going to be loud.
We'll be done by midnight.
I hope everybody's cool.
But I was anxious because my neighborhood is the sound bounces around,
so everyone was coming to this wedding whether they wanted to or not.
Right.
And so it's all set up, and it's all quiet,
and then the gospel choir comes, and it's time for that moment
and they turn well it's just me walking out for that right so they turn but they but they turn on
the mics and i had never in my mind imagined it was gonna be this loud and granted it was beautiful
and amazing but as the neurotic homeowner i was like oh shit these people are gonna be so pissed
but maybe they weren't because this amazing,
I guess, were they a choir?
It was like six people.
I don't know if people were a choir. It was six people, but they were gospel.
But anyway, this amazing gospel group sang that song
and it just reverberated.
It was beautiful.
It bounced everywhere, all over the whole neighborhood.
And I was like, this is, I just, it was magical.
I got tears in my eyes.
It was so beautiful.
I got to ask my wife what the name of the band was,
the name of the group was.
But also, when she came down the aisle,
I can't sing this song for anything because Beyonce sings it.
You can sing better than Beyonce, Don.
I wish.
Oh, my God.
You should have seen Joelle's face, everybody.
Joelle made a face like, how dare you, sir?
You got to be out your mind.
Joel's face was like, I will not.
I feel like that's everyone.
Joel's face was like, I will not be a part of this podcast.
Yo, it's funny.
It's just like the character when Eddie Murphy makes fun of Stevie Wonder
and the dude comes up to Eddie.
Stevie Wonder's a musical genius, goddammit.
You can't joke about Beyonce.
You cannot.
You can't even say jokingly Donald Faison sings better than him.
People like Joelle lose their breath.
We lost about 75 listeners just now alone.
No, yeah.
People were like, I love the podcast,
but if you say Donald Faze on Six better than Beyonce,
fuck y'all.
She's my queen.
Fuck Scrubs.
Fuck Donald.
Is she your queen, Joelle?
She is.
Listen, she has the hottest track out right now.
She just released a new one with Megan Thee Stallion.
That track was dope before Beyonce got on it. Oh, out right now. She just released a new one with Megan Thee Stallion. That track was dope before Beyoncé got on it.
Oh, truly.
Truly.
She elevated it.
She gave us a whole new wave.
Just like that Ed Sheeran record got elevated after Beyoncé got on it, dude.
It's true.
Yeah, no doubt.
No doubt.
Beyoncé be lacing people, man.
I'm telling you right now.
There are people that have songs, and the song will be really good, and then she sings a verse on it, and all of a sudden the song is a top five on the Billboard charts, man.
Like, that Ed Sheeran song was dope, and it was already on the Billboard charts for a long time.
And then she sang on it, and it broke even more records thanks to her, man.
I met her once, you know.
So did I, and you were like, I met her once.
Well, I met her several times.
We weren't together. Yeah, we were. And you were like, yo, that once. Well, I met her several times. We weren't together.
Yeah, we were.
And you were like, yo, that's Beyonce.
I was like, that's not Beyonce.
Why would Beyonce be at this party? Wait, are you talking about it at that restaurant, bar, no name in Hollywood?
No, no, no.
That's where I met her.
We met Beyonce way before that.
We went out one night to a Porsche.
Please respect my father and call her Beyonce.
I don't.
Yes, Beyonce.
We went out.
We went out.
This Beyonce is something else.
We went out to a Ferrari party or something like that.
You, me, Raiden, and Carey Brothers.
And Beyonce was there with somebody.
This is well before Hova, well before all of that.
This is early on in Scrubs.
Early Beyonce.
Yeah, yeah.
And I remember you guys being like, go say hi to her.
And I was like, get the fuck out of here.
That's Beyonce, dude.
And this is before she even had the solo record or anything like that.
She was still with Destiny's Child.
And I was still like, I can't.
You know.
What if I say hi and she says, get the fuck out of here?
And so finally she looked at me.
She was single maybe.
Maybe she was single.
Oh, dude.
Finally she looked at me and she goes, hi.
And gives me the look like, motherfucker, say hi, dude. Oh, shit. Finally, she looked at me and she goes, hi, and gives me the look like, motherfucker,
say hi, dude.
Oh, shit.
We're the only black people at this party.
That was the look?
The look was where the only black people were?
Like, dog, what are you doing?
I was like, oh, shit, my bad.
Hey, how you doing?
I don't remember that.
That's funny.
Long time ago, dude. So you just said hi? And I just said hi,. That's funny. Long time ago, dude.
So you just said hi?
And I just said hi, and we walked away.
Listen, man, I played myself to so many of these lovely ladies in Hollywood
that I decided I will never do that again.
Like, I played myself.
You saw how hard I went after Casey.
I've done things that are so stupid that I was like,
what was I thinking when I look back at it
now? You know what I mean? You mean like you should have taken your
shot? No, like I
shouldn't have taken a shot at all
because I sounded like an idiot when I
did take my shot. We all have those flinch
moments where you're like, oh, that was
awkward. Right. But I was in a restaurant
bar called No Name
that's since closed, run by
my friend Brian Ling on Fairfax in Hollywood.
And it was like a cool restaurant bar. And upstairs on like a mezzanine, there was a private
area where you could have a private dinner party or you could have a small cocktail party. And
if you went past that room, there was another room. So we were headed to that room,
he and I and somebody else. And I came up the stairs and i come around the corner and they are just seated alone at this
private table was beyonce and jay-z and they looked up and they stared at me and i stared back at them
and they had big smiles on their faces like saying hi but i was like i was in total shock i really
was i froze they that's that's man. They got that glow, man.
They got that Bruce Leroy glow.
But it was also like you come around to bend,
and you're not expecting to see like,
there's no one else in the room.
I mean, it was just Beyonce and Jay-Z having private dinner.
And I was like, and I just walked in like I was.
Did you say hi?
Of course.
I said, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
Hi.
And they were like, hey, how are you?
And I said, I'm good.
You guys are awesome. I gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna keep moving you know they were very sweet they obviously smiled
and laughed at me because i i was like a nervous wreck i played myself so many times with jay-z
it's ridiculous like he come on man like there's certain people on my list of people that i think
are you know the shiz and he's one of them him michael j, you know, the shiz, and he's one of them. Him, Michael Jordan, you know, Denzel Washington, Harrison Ford, you know.
Billy Dee.
Billy Dee Williams.
When it comes to athletes, I have a lot of athletes on my list, but I don't have a lot
of rappers on my list where I see them and I'm like, holy shit.
I used to be like that, but then I grew out of that phase.
If there's one athlete you could meet, and not just me, if there's one athlete that would be like donald let's go get a drink i want to get to
know you better who would it be oh man well he's no longer with us but that's kobe bryant that's
the easy one uh i met michael jordan once and that was cool and i met kobe several times but
there was something special about kobe bryant that was like you know i I mean, and Michael Jordan too. But, you know, when I first moved out to LA,
Kobe Bryant was just getting, you know, he just arrived and I got to meet him way before he played
basketball and stuff. What do you mean before he played basketball? So LA is a small town.
We act like it's a huge, Hollywood is huge and stuff like that, but you run into people in L.A.
And one of my friends was not dating Shaya Bryant, but was hanging out with Shaya Bryant.
And so Shaya would come over to my apartment all the time, and we would hang out and go to the movies or go to Magic Mountain, stuff like that.
And one day she comes over.
We're going to Magic Mountain. day she comes over we're going to
magic mountain and she comes over and she's like yo my brother's outside he wants to talk to you
and i was like oh shit why does your brother want to talk to me but he wasn't famous yet
no everybody knew who kobe bryant was at this point he had taken brandy to the prom
right i mean and uh i'm like oh man oh wow okay so i go outside and he had broken his arm playing basketball
at the beach at venice beach at the courts on venice beach right so he had the cast on and i
remember when he broke his arm i remember thinking come on man you've got this contract coming up
what are you doing playing basketball at venice beach that was what my thought was. When I saw him with the cast, I was like, oh, shit, he got the cast on, yo.
Like, it was.
Oh, because you had heard about it.
Yeah, I heard about it, but I was like, yo, he got the cast.
You were like, the cast.
The cast, yo.
Did you think he was going to let you sign it?
No, no, no.
But I definitely thought, I was like, this dude's about to tell me you know
i better respect his sister and all of that stuff right and there was nothing going on with me and
his sister so i go outside and he's like hey man how you doing i just wanted to meet you
you know you're going to magic mountain with my sister i just wanted to meet you to make sure you
know that's sweet he's looking out for his sister looking for it out for his sister right
well that's that's that's cool story yeah but i i ran into him
several times after that but i just when i first moved to la kobe bryant was in la also that's so
tragic i keep you man you got me thinking about it like it's unbelievable i just want y'all to
know man i loved kobe bryant like i loved kobe bryant i named my kid kobe i know i know and
there's you know i god i see the And there's, you know, God,
I see the love.
There's all these amazing murals all over town.
I'm sure you've seen him.
Yeah.
He was one of the most beloved people in the country,
probably the world,
maybe world.
Should we,
should we switch tones and get into the episode?
Let's do it.
We,
you know,
this is an episode with,
it was directed by Mark Buckland,
written by Mark Stegman.
Yeah.
Two marks, two marks. Yeah, two Marks.
Two Marks.
My Blind Date.
Yes.
Mark Stegman is a great writer, great friend, funny guy. I believe he went to write on Community after us and some other shows.
And Mark Buckland.
I really think Mark Buckland, I'm going to say it now, in nine years,
by far one of our top directors.
Yeah, well, that's easy.
This episode is,
not to say as a director,
but as a director,
this episode is incredibly directed.
Well, well, well directed.
That one-er. And you know what?
It really makes a...
I know we're going to get to it,
but that one-er.
Yeah, there's a really cool one-er.
For those of you who don't know
what a one-er is,
it's when the camera never cuts, so there no edit it's a long one shot that moves
around and involves lots of choreography and it often takes a lot of times to get it right um
and uh it's just done really well but one in this episode is amazing i really want to say you know
the thing about tv directing is these guys and gals who do this, you come in, you have to execute your vision, but in the tone of the style that's been established by the showrunner and by whoever directed the pilot, in this case, Adam Bernstein.
The showrunner and the pilot director sort of said, this is the look of this show.
It has this vibe.
The camera can move like this.
This is the sort of tools you can use,
and now you go do it.
So for a director to stand out, it's tricky.
How you can put your own stamp on it,
because otherwise it's just kind of like,
okay, I'm here to execute someone else's vision.
But someone like Mark Buckland,
with his level of talent, really does stand out.
I was watching this before I even knew that it was Mark.
I was watching going, oh, someone good directed this.
I can tell already.
There's just a – he finds a way to put his own stamp on it.
And I looked it up because I haven't seen Mark in years.
Also a really good card magician, if you remember that, Donald.
Yeah, also a really great ping pong player.
Yeah, I remember that.
But during downtime, he would do these insane card tricks.
He was one of those guys.
He's doing a show called, he produces and directs a show called Stumptown.
Great show.
Do you watch it?
It's on the ABC lineup with the new ABC lineup.
Colby Smulders, is that right?
Yeah, as you know, I do a television show for ABC called Emergence.
Emergence, yes.
When are we finding out if we're getting a season two?
We have no idea.
I don't even know if Stumptown knows if they're getting a season two yet.
And if they do, then probably we didn't get it.
But all I know is-
When does ABC tell you that they're going to tell you?
Things are different right now, man.
Life is different right now.
Nothing is the same.
I'm supposed to find out.
We were supposed to find, like,
Upfronts is the 14th or something like that.
So we should be finding out soon, but I don't know.
Will you be doling out drunken noogies at this year's Upfronts?
I've learned my lesson.
I did.
Yo, you know what?
Last year I did crash the NBC Upfront.
I did crash that, and that was a lot of fun to do.
Anyway.
Mark Buckland also, just to Anyway. Mark Buckland also,
just to finish my Mark Buckland research,
won an Emmy for directing the pilot of My Name is Earl.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
So he's a very talented fellow.
Very, very, very talented.
And I just wanted to say
that I really notice how good he is.
So this episode has a lot of good stuff in it, man.
This is a good one.
Mm-hmm.
This was a great one.
I laughed out loud. None harder than Kelso episode has a lot of good stuff in it man this is a good one this was a great one i laughed aloud
i laughed out loud none none harder than kelso when kelso go and she goes dr kelso i'm not gonna
sue the hospital and he goes oh and then just walks out he just leaves elizabeth bogish was a
guest star who did an arc um really talented gal, and she, this was
J.D.'s first love interest.
Yeah, I was going to say that. And I was
just going through the rest of season one. I think she's
the only, I could be wrong, so
sorry if you know better than I do, but she's the only love
interest before Sarah
and I start a
relationship. Really?
Really. Joelle, isn't that what happens?
I'm not aware. I haven't
gone forward at all. Well, Joel might know, or she
can look it up. But I think what happens is
there's three episodes with
Liz Bogish, and then
Elliot and I start our
thing. I think that's what happens.
That is correct. Okay, good. See?
I was right, Donald. I did my research. I did a lot of
research for this episode. I got trivia.
I want the fans to know. I got trivia. I want the fans to know I got
trivia. You want to know the trivia
right to start off the right off the bat? It's a good one?
Go for yours.
Cox is trying to get his
perfect game.
I got to ask you a question before you do the trivia then.
What? Did you know what the perfect game was
before we started doing, before
the show? I know what a perfect pitcher
game is. Yeah, I know it's happened.
My brother's a baseball fanatic.
My father was a baseball fanatic.
So I know some things.
So, and you don't talk to the pitcher while he's-
Now that I didn't know.
And I wanted to talk to you about that
because first of all, how the fuck does JD know that?
I mean, JD doesn't know anything about sports.
We hammer it home in every episode.
And all of a sudden JD's whispering like,
you know, stuff about-
You never talk.
You know that you don't talk to the pitcher during a game.
So tell me about this real quick.
This is a thing.
If the pitcher's doing really well in a game, you don't talk to him in the dugout?
You ice him.
Yeah, you leave him alone.
You don't say anything to him and let him-
You don't even give him a butt tap?
No, you don't say-
Look, you don't want to be the reason that his rhythm all of a sudden falls off.
But what if I'm throwing a perfect game and I'm like, holy shit, in my head, I'm like, I'm fucking killing this.
And then I go into the dugout and I get no butt taps.
And I'm like, oh, why aren't they tapping my butt?
And then I start spiraling.
I'm like, no butt taps.
I'm going to fuck it up now.
And it'd be your fault that you fucked it up, not their fault.
Okay, so they'd ignore you. If they tap you on the butt and then you don't have a perfect game,
you could be like, motherfucker, why'd you tap me on the butt?
I see.
So that's a thing.
You just ice him.
You don't talk to him.
You let that person do what they got to do to get that perfect game.
Okay, see, that I didn't know.
That I didn't know.
And I find it hilarious that JD did know.
That's hilarious.
Even Joelle wrote that down in her notes.
She's like, how the hell does J.D. know all this stuff about us?
All right, here's a little trivia for you.
Ready?
Okay, let's do it.
There's 27 patients in the ICU that Dr. Cox is trying to keep alive through midnight.
Do you know why 27?
I don't.
There's 27 outs
in nine innings.
Holy
shit. Ladies and gentlemen,
slow clap. Slow
clap for Zach Braff.
Why? I didn't. It's not my trivia.
I got it off Scrubs Wiki.
I don't know
if Mark Stegman gets that.
You did it, J.D. You did it, J.D.
Way to go, J.D.
Way to go, Zach.
I didn't figure that out.
I read that, so don't be too proud of me.
I don't even know if we give Mark Stegman credit for that.
Let's ask Bill.
That's a good Bill question.
Bill, you're not going to remember.
Bill's going to be like, that was me.
That was me.
No, but Bill, it's very clever that there's 27 patients
and there's 27 outs in nine innings.
Who came up with that?
27 outs in a ballgame to save 27 patients came around
because the episode started with Dr. Cox wanting to have a perfect game.
And a perfect game in baseball, Zach, which is a sport,
is not only does no one get a hit,
but nobody even gets a walk or gets on base with an error.
So it's not just a no-hitter.
It's a perfect game.
You only face 27 batters.
That's it.
All right.
So Death's Back, played by the wonderful Randall Winston.
Yeah, Death is Back by Randall Winston.
Now, I don't mean to take a dig at Randall, but— Listen, man. Listen, I love Randall to death. I love Randall Winston. Yeah, Death is Back by Randall Winston. Now, I don't mean to take a dig at Randall, but...
Listen, man.
Listen, I love Randall to death.
I love Randall to death, but...
With all my heart now, don't make me all this...
I don't think if Randall was auditioning,
he would have gotten this role,
because Death isn't the best actor.
If you guys...
I love Randall to death, but if Death had auditioned...
If SAG actors had auditioned for this part,
we probably could have gotten a better fucking performance.
Oh, that's horrible that you say that, dude.
No, I'm sorry.
For those of you who don't know, Randall Winston is the line producer on Scrubs.
He was the line producer at the time on Scrubs.
He's since gone on to be an executive producer on other shows.
He's killing it.
He directs.
He directs now he's
he's he's very he's a very very established uh producer slash director in uh on television
right now also he married my wife and i in uh zach's backyard he was the master of ceremony
i forgot you were married by death yeah married by death in your backyard. Randall
Winston is one of my
all-time favorite people.
So don't you dare! It's like
Joelle and Beyonce. Don't you dare say nothing bad
about Randall Winston. You made a face
like Joelle made.
Listen, I just want to say I love the guy to death.
He's an extremely talented
producer. I don't know that
acting is necessarily his forte
but boy but listen uh death talks to his daughter i don't know that any in any art form i've ever
seen death's daughter but there's so much alike there she is she's in a girl scout outfit trying
to sell her her cookies right well that's why that's why Death's occupied. He's selling cookies with his daughter to try to help Dr. Cox out.
Death says something like, she's in second place,
and if the first place girl keeps winning, we're just going to take her.
We're just going to take her.
In the ICU, where a lot of the scene takes place,
there's a lot of amazing camera work. In 116, there's a lot of the scene takes place, there's a lot of amazing camera work.
At 116, there's a cool 360 pan.
It's always challenging for the cinematographer
and for filmmakers to light
when there's no place to put the lights.
And when the camera is steady camming,
for those of you who don't know what that is,
it's, I think we've mentioned it before,
it's this rig that mounts on a steady cam operator's body
and it allows him or her to move around and they can run and do all these cool shots, and the camera always looks like it's floating.
A lot of Scrubs was shot on a Steadicam because of all the quick walking and running around.
And, sorry to digress, our Steadicam operator has a cameo in this episode.
Did you recognize Charles Papert, Donald?
Where was Papert at? Oh, Donald? Where was Pappard at?
Oh, yeah, he was the guy on the-
He's the MRI.
He's the MRI tech.
The MRI guy, yeah.
When the MRI goes awry and you see a guy freaking out.
By the way, speaking of people who aren't actors
giving a decent performance,
I thought Charles did a wonderful job.
Yeah, you know, Charles Pappard,
every time I run into Charles Pappard,
every time I run into him,
he's like, he'll introduce me to the people
in his camera crew,
and he'll be like,
tell them the song.
And I'll be like, what?
Like, sing them the song.
I've told everybody about the song.
I was like,
are you fucking serious right now?
He's like, sing them the song.
It's the Transformers melody,
but I don't remember the words.
You remember the words.
Charles Pappard
all balls and no shaft all balls and no shaft yeah
i love that he's never like the show i i love that he's begging you to sing a song
to his friends about how he's all balls and no shaft. All balls, no shaft. He begs me to sing.
Charles Popper.
It's like he says to them,
so Donald Faison's coming in today.
He has a special song about me.
I want to say that what's funny about that song
is that it's the Transformers melody
and sung very softly like a ballad,
but it's all balls and no shaft.
It's all balls and no shaft.
Anyway, Charles Pappert was our steadicam operator,
and he plays the MRI tech, and I thought he did a wonderful job.
Oh, he does an amazing job in the episode.
He's an amazing steadicam and normal cam operator.
I've worked with him several times since then.
And maybe he's had some surgery to adjust his lack of shaft. To adjust his situation.
Did he even get a shaft extender?
Is that a thing?
I once asked Real JD about that.
I was like, yo, so what is this about this penis enlarging stuff?
You don't need that.
Why the hell are you asking about that?
Listen, man.
Everybody wants to be big.
Do you remember in the episode of Bahamas?
Everybody.
Do you remember in the episode of Bahamas
when I thought I saw an eel?
Yeah, and it was me.
On that note, we're going to go to break

I'm Minnie Driver, and this was the idea I set out to explore in my podcast, Minnie Questions.
This year, we bring a whole new group of guests to answer the same seven questions,
including actress and star of the mega hit sitcom Friends, Courtney Cox. You can't go around it,
so you just go through it. This is a roadblock. It's going to catch you down the road. Go through
it. Deal with it. Comedian, writer, and star of the series Catastrophe, Rob Delaney. I shouldn't
feel guilty about my son's death. He died of a brain tumor.
It's part of what happens when your kid dies.
Intellectually, you'll understand that it's not your fault,

And we're back.
Speaking of your eel, my girlfriend's mom was FaceTiming me about our podcast
because she listens.
And she was like, I really like it, but you guys talk about your willies too much.
As we began to talk about your eel, I was hearing my girlfriend's mom
telling us that we talk about our willies too much.
So sorry to the people of the United Kingdom. Donald likes to talk about our willies too much. So sorry to the people of the United Kingdom.
Donald likes to talk about his willy.
Whoa.
I don't like talking about my willy.
Colonel Doctor at 249.
I just got excited to see him.
Yes.
Snoop Dogg intern.
A lot of the greats are in this episode.
Yes.
Lynn's in the episode.
A lot of people.
Yeah, Lynn.
Deontay.
Once again.
Deontay. Deontay worked a lot. Yeah. Well. Deontay. Once again. Deontay.
Deontay worked a lot.
Yeah.
Well, Deontay was there every day.
So what they would do is sometimes when they needed more background performers than they had,
they would ask the stand-ins to put on a costume and join the scene.
I think that's what happens.
Well, yeah.
Not just that.
Also, the stand-ins are, you know, they're all good actors on their own. You know what I mean? You give Deontay a line, he'll deliver it.
Well, not everyone, but Deontay was someone who was a good actor.
Right. And so...
But my point is that I think usually the stand-ins weren't dressed in costume. So often when you see them, my brain goes, oh, they wanted a couple more bodies, so they asked them to suit up.
Right. But they're always
prominently featured
if you notice.
Well,
of course,
because Dante's not fucking around.
He knows where the camera is.
Right.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows what he's doing.
They're saying Dante's
first rodeo.
He knows where that camera's
going to be.
He knows what he's doing.
He's like,
if I'm going to put on these scrubs,
you're going to see me.
Right,
right,
right,
right.
All right,
so at 402,
there's this long monologue with Johnny C.
By the way, Johnny C. is incredible in this episode.
Crushes this episode.
Incredible.
You know what?
I've learned that I didn't appreciate it when it was there.
You know what I mean?
There were so many lessons to be learned just from watching Johnny,
just from watching Judy, just from watching Ken.
And you want to get the fuck out of there at a certain point in time.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I look back at this stuff now, and Johnny crushes this episode.
He's very funny.
You know, I agree with you, Donald.
Even just watching however many we've watched, 12 at this point,
I'm really taken by what a good actor Johnny McGinley is.
He's fantastic.
And this episode really highlights how good he is.
And Sarah's wonderful in this episode as well.
Oh, my gosh.
She's amazing in it.
Do you find it's weird?
I always find it weird in a TV show when they reference another TV show.
So here we reference – I reference ER, of all things, another hospital TV show.
I think we were trying to be funny.
No, I know, but I always think it's weird when JD, me, playing a fake doctor on television, then references another doctor show.
It just pulls me out of the show.
I find it weird.
See, but the problem is that in ER, Anthony Edwards still kind of looked like the character he played in Top Gun. You know what I mean?
No, he didn't. He was more bookish and
academic. Kind of, sort of, but
he still kind of looked...
Good on Anthony fucking Edwards.
It really is Revenge of the Nerds that you're like, holy shit,
that's the dude from Revenge of the Nerds.
Anthony Edwards
has had such a career.
Can we just talk about him for a second?
Let's get it. That is the right name, right? Anthony Edwards? Absolutely. What's the name of the black guy named Anthony Edwards has had such a career. Can we just talk about him for a second? Let's get it. That is the right name, right?
Anthony Edwards?
Absolutely.
What's the name of the black guy named Anthony Edwards?
You're thinking of Anthony Anderson, you moron.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
They're very similar.
Anthony Edwards.
By the way, I love that you knew what I was talking about.
That's how close we are, baby.
Anthony Edwards has spanned Revenge of the nerds to top gun yes and then back to to er and and and a zillion
other things i'm sure but those are the things i i most think of him for yeah he's got range now
are we not allowed to like revenge the nerds anymore i know that it is a very problematic
movie but man as a child that was life-changing for me that movie i went with a babysitter to see that movie in the theater and and i think i was 1984 i was probably
did your babysitter get kicked out listen i think it was i was nine i think i can't believe i got to
go see this movie with a babysitter was your babysitter fired was it 1984 joelle can you look
that up please i remember went to see and i had a crush on her
a nine-year-old crush and then i see this movie that's obviously r and i can't believe i was
seeing this and then i i at the end i was so riled up i was so turned on if you will by the movie
and i thought i i yes thanks she says 1984 i i i in mind, I thought like, oh, I'm going to try and impress my date.
I just started thinking of her like she was my date.
And we went into like a CVS type pharmacy giant, one of those big ones.
And I forgot.
Someone, my sister probably wanted to buy something.
And I was like in an aisle and I was like, what can I act like I want to buy that's going to seem impressive to my babysitter?
And we were in like, I was in like, I went into like the hardware aisle because that felt masculine.
And, and I saw this, this battery.
You remember one of those big chunky battery, not a car battery, but like for like a lantern.
It was like this bit, like, you know, like, you know, a lantern battery, basically.
And I remember looking at it
and then I saw my periphery.
She was coming down the aisle
and she's like,
what are you doing in this aisle?
And I was like,
see this?
And I pointed to the battery
and she goes,
yeah, I go,
this is what I want for my birthday.
Because in my mind, I thought she would be like whoa this kid this kid is deserves to see my boobs now this kid is fucking manly i know he's this many years later i remember thinking like
just act like you want this fucking battery bro
that's what avengers that's what avengers the nerds did to me oh Oh, no. All right, let's move on.
The French fry fright.
Talk about this, John, because you're married.
You probably have this fight with your wife.
I believe in this fight, and I believe in Turk's side of this fight, too.
And, you know, at the end of the show, it goes someplace different.
But absolutely, if we go to get burgers at McDonald's, and I get a combo meal,
and I ask you what you want, and you say, I'll just have a burger.
You're not eating my fries, goddammit. Right. Those are my fries. Does this happen all the
time? It sounds like you got riled up just now. Does this happen in your home? I got riled up
because of this dude that was teaching me how to ride the bike today. Oh yeah. He's got me going
crazy. You've taken on his persona.
You are, as an actor, you are like a sponge, and you've taken on his persona, Donald.
I am the bike riding instructor from this afternoon.
Do you remember his name?
No, I don't remember his name.
God damn it, I'm just him right now.
Okay, calm down, calm down.
He's probably having a smoothie on a couch right now, now and you're all somewhere drinking orange goo goo he's probably he's probably in a steam room
with other dudes um anyway but no this is sincere and this happens all the time and i i i used to
hate this when but then this is also when i knew holy cow i love my wife we would go and get food from someplace like astro burger or mcdonald's or
something like something quick and fast and greasy and everything after a night out of
partying in the club right and i'll be like do you want anything and she'll be like
no i'm not really that hungry in my mind i knew exactly what that meant that meant
she's gonna eat my shit right see would you order extra fur no well at first you don't realize that and then after when it when it gets to where turk and
carla are it's when you start testing it and you're like i'm gonna test and see if when i say
do you want anything and she says no i'm good i bet you she's gonna grab my fries watch that's
what's gonna happen it's gonna happen it's gonna happen right and when it happens you're like i knew it and you and you and you explode and that's
what happened with turk turk was online with carla at the cafeteria and he's getting all of this food
right and she's looking at him and in his mind he's like she's gonna want this stuff she's gonna
want it it does feel like an example of not sweating the small stuff though doesn't it
but that's not the small stuff come on man that of not sweating the small stuff, though, doesn't it?
But that's not the small stuff.
Come on, man.
That's not.
Fries aren't small stuff.
No, that's not the small stuff.
Harley Pasternak, who we both know, very fancy celebrity trainer, he told me that, I think it was him who told me that french fries is the worst thing you can put in your body.
He once told me pizza was the worst thing you could put in your body.
So I don't know.
I think that was him just trying to get you to stop eating french fries.
And he also told me something I'll never forget.
He calls a banana a sugar stick.
He's like, you might as well have a candy bar.
Banana is just sugar.
Really?
Yeah.
I love a banana.
I do love a banana.
Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak ruined bananas for me.
I still eat bananas.
I like them in my smoothie.
But he told me that they have, even though it's natural sugar, it's filled with sugar.
But he also said French fries are the worst thing you can put in your body because it's just saturated fat.
Yeah, but he also told me pizza was the worst thing you could put in your body.
He got you in good shape once, and you played basketball with Yeezy, right?
I have played basketball with Khan Yeezy.
Yeah, was it at Harley's house? I gave Yeezy and right? I have played basketball with Khan Yeezy. Yeah.
Was it at Harley's house?
I gave Yeezy and Khan the business.
They know what's up.
They know what's up.
Don't act like y'all don't know.
Yeah, I'm sure Yeezy's listening.
Listen, did you play at-
Right, he's somewhere in Wyoming.
Did you play at Harley's house?
Did you play at Harley's house?
No, we would go and play at like a gym.
We would go to a gym.
He would run out of gym and me, him.
Because that's the only time I ever, when I was working out with Harley,
that's the only time I ever met Kanye.
It was before he became enormously famous.
Well, he was still huge.
Kanye has been, Kanye was huge.
No, I know, but I didn't, he wasn't a household name at this time.
Right, right.
He was making that music since back in the day.
And I used to get on the treadmill next to Rick Fox, Donald, who's a famous-
I played basketball with Rick Fox before, too.
Really?
Yeah.
I played basketball with a lot of people.
I know.
You're fancy.
All right.
Listen.
A drunk clown hurt me once.
Laughed out loud.
Definitely laughed out loud.
Laughed out loud.
I don't know if I made that up or not.
I would like to take credit for it.
Okay.
Let's ask Bill. Bill's not going to remember, and if so, he up or not. I would like to take credit for it. Okay, let's ask Bill.
Bill's not going to remember, and if so, he's definitely not going to give me credit.
But, Joel, please ask him who made up A Drunk Clown Hurt Me Once,
and make sure to put in parentheses, Zach believes it might be his.
He's going to come back with the sassiest answer, and here it is.
A Drunk Clown Hurt Me Once was Zach Braff improv.
He came up with that that and i remember watching it
happen and i remember taking credit for it afterwards thank you bill well we haven't heard
bill's answer but i'm just gonna say thank you bill i agree no no thank you i don't think i i
don't i don't know that you're gonna agree with i might not agree i might not agree i don't know
that you're gonna uh drunk clown hurt me once is very funny I gotta say I laughed out loud about that
because God knows
what that story is
and how you found out
the clown was drunk
is another story
I love these JD things
that never get explored
like these long
you know
there's times like
there's these random sentences
that you know
we could have gone into a fantasy
but we never do
I love those rare moments
like yeah
like I got treed by a coyote.
That is probably my favorite episode.
And you know why?
Because you directed it?
It's the first one I directed.
But also, not just saying that because I directed it,
that is a fucking epic, great episode.
Oh, that's a great episode.
Do you know what season that is?
Oh my God, I love that episode.
Whenever Harry Graham shows up, I know when it happens. Joel, will you please look up i know what i know what it happens i got
joelle will you please look up for me what episode that is it's the first one i directed i don't even
i have no idea what it's called heather graham's in it but donald i got treed by a coyote yeah that
one and then i'm starting to see why uh what did he say his name was i'm starting to see why leon
outfoxed you i I don't remember that.
Jason Bateman. I like to make
belts out of their necks.
Oh, and Jason Bateman says, I like to make belts out of their necks.
I mean, how stoned
must have been in the writer's room when they came up with
the idea that the ostriches
are sentries.
Right?
So in Jason Bateman's
character's home, he has ostriches but they they not only work as guards but they stole your kango right and put it
on right oh that's leon very funny episode all right we're back to this one michael mcdonald
is back michael mcdonald is back That was right away. He was just on.
We should have him on.
And he's playing the same guy.
I think, Joelle, you may have thought he was playing multiple characters.
He's always playing.
He is definitely playing the same guy.
He plays a hypochondriac who's always.
I believe, unless the fan wiki is wrong, that he plays different characters in a later season.
Okay.
Well, we don't know.
Maybe the fans will tell us,
um,
on the social medias,
but I believe that he's always playing a hypochondriac.
The episode,
uh,
thank you,
Jewel for finding this,
that we,
Donald and I were talking about was,
is,
is season four,
episode eight,
my last chance.
Um,
it's probably my favorite episode of the whole,
one of,
one of my top three of the whole run.
Granted,
it was my first time directing and that was special,
but also bill because he's so fucking competitive,
decided to write an episode that should have been shot in like 10 days.
And,
uh,
cause it was epic.
We called it scrubs the movie.
If you recall,
it's the one where Donald and I,
uh,
have a permission slip from Elliot that allows JD to sleep with Heather
Graham's character.
And we go on an epic nightlong quest to find Molly
to give her the permission slip.
I have a question for you.
When you were making this episode,
did you realize when you were making it
how big of an episode it was for you to have to execute?
Yes, I knew it.
Bill is a big brother to us both
and has always been competitive with me.
Like, we don't play sports, so the competition came in, like, in other ways.
So it came in, like, okay.
It was after Garden State, and Garden State was a success.
And he's like, okay, you can direct.
Here's the script.
And it was, like, the most epic, impossible thing.
You know, we shot an episode of Scrubs traditionally in five days,
and you had to write them so they were executable in five days.
And this was – you remember, Donald.
We were on the Universal backlot.
There was an ambulance chase with an accident.
It was huge.
And I just remember being like, oh, my God, he's totally testing if I can pull this off.
And you did.
And I did.
And I did.
I think it's –
That's amazing.
I mean, we were ziplining across the universal backlog.
Let's save it for that episode.
I know.
Sorry.
You got me talking about it because I really love that episode.
Okay.
So now we're at this awesome wonder.
No, you're going too fast.
I want to talk about Sammy.
The legendary Sammy Lloyd has some good stuff in this episode.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay.
Yes.
At 5.09, Sammy Lloyd comes in.
And I remember now because he's covered in sweat.
Yes.
And right before takes, they would sweat Sam up.
So he would totally look like he was always on the verge of a panic attack.
Yes.
Yes.
And Kelso goes to him, tell him, Todd.
He goes, it's Ted.
Ted, but it's only been nine years.
It's only been 12 years.
And then at 527, he laughed when he goes, and then if that happens, the higher-ups' heads are going to roll,
and then he starts laughing.
Yeah.
Very funny.
Yeah.
Yeah, Sam has some funny shit later on in the MRI room.
Run away with me.
Yeah, he goes, run away with me.
And then before that, I wrote down something.
It was so funny.
He says, since my wife left me, I find it hard to see past the evil.
Yeah, right.
Something about like, I can't date women.
Since my wife left me, I find it hard to see past the evil.
Now, he finds love again.
He finds love on the show later too, right?
Yeah, with Mizuchi.
Right, with the Gooch.
Yeah, the Gooch, played by Kate Micucci, who's a very
talented gal and plays the
and sings really well and plays the
ukulele very well. Yes.
So Donald, Liz Boguch,
she did a great
job. Of course that's her voice. Imagine
getting a part. Good thing she knew she had two
more episodes coming up because imagine getting a part and being like,
hey, we're never going to see your face.
And I had forgotten at the end of the episode
they were clever enough to not even reveal her.
That was cool.
Right.
And you had to wait until the next episode.
Right.
But it wasn't even to be continued.
It was like some of the audience might have been like,
oh, we never see her.
Right.
Well, that's also very interesting.
So at some point during the season,
the show does start to connect where it becomes serial, right?
Where it becomes – is that the right way to put it?
Yeah, when they're going in order.
Every episode is connected to – and then it breaks apart again.
I always like the fact that you could tune in to Scrubs and no matter what episode you catch it on, it's like you –
Yeah, you can watch it out of order as I'm sure you catch it on, it's like you, you know. Yeah, you can watch it out of order,
as I'm sure they aired it on syndication out of order,
I imagine.
But this specific, these specific two episodes
kind of needs to be backed back.
Yeah, and certain actors would do arcs.
You know, they'd do three, you know.
Right.
I think Liz did three.
All right, but come on.
First of all, why can't JD just bend down
and look into the damn machine?
I don't know, man.
I don't, that's, you know, I'm, if you're worried about that, if you're worried about
that, you're not really watching the show.
I know, Donald, but I'm telling you, they rationalized it a little bit.
You can tell the writers were wrestling with this because they were like, oh no, she's
hurt herself.
We can't move her.
Otherwise it was like, oh, come on, girl, just climb out of the fucking thing.
Right.
Or if you're that worried, slide a backboard in there and help some dude slide her out.
Let's get her out.
But it is very clever.
But I just want to say that the device was a little like, come on, buddy.
Right, right.
Just peek in there, JD.
Right.
Well, you would just see nostrils and forehead, though.
Well, first of all, if you've ever had an MRI and I have, you're deep in that thing.
You're all the way in there.
You're all the way in.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know
what the hell kind of MRI
Liz Bogers was getting.
Yeah, just the head, I guess.
But even when it's just the head,
you're all the way in.
Do you want to take a break?
Yeah, we should cut to commercial.
They'll be here in two minutes.
So let's,
you know what we should do?
Give me a break.
Give me a break.

gonna say the brand this is for. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side,

Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
And we're back with Donald Faison.
And Zach Braff.
Talking about this awesome one-er, finally.
I've been dying to talk about this for the entire episode.
Yeah, so this one-er shot that starts at 6.56,
it goes for a full minute.
It's very cleverly choreographed.
And here's Jackie.
Hi.
Hi, Jackie. Hi, Jackie.
Jackie.
Hi.
Give it up for Jackie's phone.
Hi, Jackie.
Hi.
I was going to use my computer, but I have a very old computer,
and it just wasn't working at all.
No worries.
We're just glad you're here.
Welcome to Fake Doctors, Real Friends.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jackie!
Guys, Jackie is here to surprise someone.
Oh, another surprise.
Joelle, you are just making people's month.
I needed a pick-me-up, and
Jackie buzzed it in. She was like, I want to surprise
my boyfriend. So, Jackie, what's the story here?
So, at the end of
this month is my boyfriend's 30th
birthday, and I've
been trying to figure out what I wanted to give
him, and
he has no idea what he wants, so I thought this
would be a really nice surprise, because we both are
huge fans.
We just finished
re-watching it for the
millionth time. We watch it once a year together.
Thank you so much.
That's really cool. Donald,
this is a 30th birthday present.
Do you want to straighten your shirt or something?
Do you want to change your shirt?
I'm good, Doug.
What's his name, Jackie? Sean.
Sean.
All right.
Big Sean.
You know, it'd be funny if you tell Donald and I something about Sean that we couldn't possibly know.
And we'll throw it out there during the conversation.
He is a very big D&D person.
Oh, fuck yes.
Donald can tap into that. Yes, he is a very big Dungeons&D person. Oh, fuck yes. Donald can tap into that.
Yes, he is a very big
Dungeons & Dragons person. We actually are in a
campaign. No, he does not
DM. Not yet.
Do you DM?
I'm in my very first game with him
right now.
Congratulations.
Have you played Dungeons & Dragons
before or is this your first time?
This is my first time.
And are you liking it?
I am liking it.
And we're having it to do remotely, unfortunately, because of the pandemic going on.
But it's still really fun.
Yeah, I would imagine a lot of D&D folks are doing this online these days, right?
Yeah, they are.
You could probably find really good games.
Donald, can we get into a game, Donald?
Because you like it, right?
I do. I just... It depends on what their Donald? Because you like it, right? I do.
It depends on what their rules are.
You know what I mean?
Certain rules are...
I don't know, man.
You play...
I grew up playing Dungeons & Dragons,
and so you kind of get used to your DM,
and then you go and play in somebody else's world,
and you're like,
this is nothing like how I remember playing it.
Now, it can take a very long time, right?
We don't have that much...
Can we do a campaign?
Can we do a short campaign?
Are you able to do a short campaign?
It's possible, yes.
How long is the campaign that you're on right now?
How long have you been doing it for? Um, we have been doing it, I want to say, for about a month.
The same campaign?
Mm-hmm. We meet up once
a week, and we'll play for about four hours.
Wow. So you guys play, like,
short hours.
You don't really do the eight hour,
nine hour D and D.
No,
unfortunately not because some of them,
like my boyfriend has to go in the work in the morning.
Right.
So we used to,
it would,
that used to be the jam playing D and D until the sun came up and then sleeping all day and then getting back together that night and playing D and
D again.
Oh, he has had campaigns like that. Yeah used to love that and i i grew up in the inner city
so i used to play dnd with a bunch of drug dealers it's hilarious absolutely dude why did you end up
in a dnd with drug dealers because i grew up with a bunch of drug dealers as friends dude that's why
so would they have to would they have to pause the campaign to deal drugs?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But it would just be funny because, you know,
it's funny listening to your boy Tookie rolling dice.
Like, so I pull out my, you know,
I reach into my bag of holding and pull out my sword plus five
and I swing.
Wow.
Rolling dice turns into something completely different
when you're in the hood, yo.
It's something completely different, yo.
That's funny.
You know what I mean?
You roll a 20-side dice.
This is the dope thing about 20-side dice.
You could either do a 20-side dice or you could do a 10-sided and a 6-sided, I think,
at the same time, and that's the same thing, right?
And so you roll, and it's like rolling dice.
You're like blowing on the shit, you know what I mean?
Hitting it off the feet, off the dogs, yo. Wow, on the dice. You're like blowing on the shit, you know what I mean? Hitting it off the feet,
off the dogs, yo.
Pow, on the table.
You got rules.
If it goes off the board,
it doesn't count.
Then you get particular about it.
Like let's say it does go off the board,
but you roll a natural 20,
which is a critical hit in the game
that my buddy would DM
and it rolled off the board.
You'd fight for hours like,
yo, just please let this
stand. Let this
be.
I used to love playing D&D.
Well, maybe Sean will let us
into his game. He would.
Alright, well let's meet Sean.
We'll bring that up in the conversation.
Like, kind of crazy.
I made him hide in our bedroom.
What does he think is going to happen? Does he have any idea
what's about to happen?
He has guesses, but
not really.
I hope we're the best of his guesses.
I doubt it.
He's going to be like, you mean it's this?
He's like, what the hell is this bullshit?
I thought I was getting a new D&D die.
Are you ready? I need to sit next to you.
You got to put the earphone
in his ear.
Sorry to direct you.
I'm sorry to direct you.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, bro!
Happy birthday, bro!

We want to make sure that we're better than the surprise you were expecting
Well I
I did make a guess earlier
Was it us
Yeah it was you but it was like a
out of the world like yeah sure i bet what maybe you did this i thought i had like a friend coming
over or something but this is uh this is a friend coming over during quarantine that's what you
wanted yes no sean no friends over maybe a masked friend. I don't know.
All right. Hey, man. Well, thank you for for liking our show and for being fans of us.
We we really appreciate it. And it's so it's so one of the cool things about this podcast is we get to randomly meet fans.
And and and it's so it's as much fun for us to be able to see your face and talk to you.
Absolutely. It's like it's like when we play D&D.
Yeah, we wish you were into D&D because we were going to invite you into our game,
but we hear you're not into it.
No.
No.
It's just like when we play, right?
And it's like, you know, you're going up against a goblin or an ogre.
I grew up playing with drug dealers in my hometown.
Oh, dude, you're ruining my show.
I'm sorry.
You don't even do it.
I was going to take your whole story and make it mine and impress Sean.
Yeah, there's Tookie.
Oh, my God. Yeah. So tell us about yourself, Sean. Oh my god
So tell us about yourself Sean
We want to get to know you briefly while we have you
Where do you guys live?
We live in Morgantown, West Virginia
Virginia in the house
Right, right, right
West Virginia in the house
West Virginia
What do you guys do for a living?
I'm a pharmacy technician nice um currently i work at
ulta beauty um as a prestige beauty advisor so i put makeup on people for a living right now
but you're not able to do that i imagine right now or maybe you guys are open i don't know
um we are open just for curbside pickup um so only my managers are currently working i
have been home for the past month and a half oh okay you're not gonna be able to go to the curb
and put makeup on someone in the car no unfortunately not and when and when y'all reopen i
imagine it's gonna be masks and gloves as you do it yeah yeah now sean have you still been working
because pharmacies are obviously open yeah yeah still nothing every day yeah so no time to play dungeons and dragons then yeah how are you
able to do your campaign uh she was telling us we've been doing uh we've been doing like skype or
um google hangouts and uh there's a lot of online uh resources to use you're in three campaigns
right now right i'm playing three different games right now. What kind of character do you have?
I had a cleric in one, and then I had
a monk in another.
My brother, at one
point, the DM got funky
in the game we were playing, and he got to play
an ogre magi, which was
so sick, dude.
Can the DM
make up any rules he or she wants yeah it's their world
yep they're yeah wow that's cool um i'm currently playing a uh a goliath fighter in one i'm playing
a uh halfling rogue nice and um a half elf draconic sorcerer in the third one.
Nice.
Do you guys have dark elves and wood elves and all of that stuff?
Oh, yeah.
It's such a fun game, man.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
I've made a lot of friends through it.
That's cool.
And so now that it's all online, does that make it easier for you?
Or is it just as fun? Or do you prefer to be in person around a table?
I prefer to be in person at a table.
Some of the games have maybe six, seven people in it.
So it's kind of a big group to do online and a lot of screens to go through.
It's just easier to do in person.
But it still scratches that itch.
People get really passionate about it, right?
I was going to say, do you talk shit when you play?
Are you one of those people that's like, yeah, I'm about to crack this motherfucker upside down?
Wow!
Sean doesn't seem like he would say something like that, Don.
Oh, okay.
Not so much.
Maybe I should, though.
Do you guys ever get heated and get in fights?
Like, that should have worked, that role.
Yeah, there's been some friendly conflict in some games, but yeah.
Do you guys have a question?
Oh, yeah, we forgot. you're supposed to ask a question
sean you can ask us anything sean you can ask you know how on reddit they have
ama ask me anything this is your own personal birthday donald faze on zach braff ama
oh my gosh it could be anything it could be about anything donald you can even ask donald
a very private question and he'll answer it.
I'll make it.
Don't blow it, Sean.
I was not ready.
Oh, okay.
Well, Jackie, maybe while he thinks, do you have a question to help him out?
I've had a question because we've discussed while we listened to your podcast, like if you're ever on here, what would we want to ask?
Yeah. While we were watching scrubs
So I
Assume you all have seen that the last season season 9 was not the best season. I don't know what you're talking
We don't even know there is a nine. I didn't know there was a season 9
Jackie the first rule of season 9 is there is no season
Well, they make it a season nine on Hulu.
So I was just wondering, just your own feelings on season nine in general.
I thought season nine had some very funny moments.
I was going through a lot during season nine.
I got new teeth while we were doing season nine.
So there are a couple of episodes where my teeth are like i didn't know your teeth didn't come till season nine until yeah that's when i start that's when
i changed it up yo and got these big ass pearlies yeah anyway there's some really funny performances
in season nine dave franco makes me laugh, you know, in season nine and outside of
the show. I have great memories of season nine. I also have really bad memories of season nine.
I knew it was over and I knew we weren't necessarily making the show that the fans
wanted, but. Did you miss me? Well, you were in a lot of the episodes. I was only in the first six.
We only did 13.
Well, did you miss me for the seven?
I missed you so much.
I missed you so, so much.
Good.
But the point is, I didn't mind season nine.
Granted, I never really watched any of the episodes of Scrubs anyway,
so it all kind of seems, it all felt like we were still doing our job.
It was weird, too.
It was weird for multiple reasons.
One, I was leaving, and that was in the air.
Also, all eight seasons had been shot,
as I'm sure you may know from just us talking about it
in the past, in this abandoned hospital.
And then for season nine, we moved to a traditional
studio backlot.
And so they built that fake hospital on a stage
and the classroom stuff was
all on a stage and it felt
weird to me
it felt like jump the sharky
a bit if you will
well if you're going to jump a shark you might as well do it
season nine though well we did I mean
you know we were so blessed we went nine seasons
but it just felt I don't know
I felt weird about it.
And to this day, it's going to be funny.
If we keep going and decide to make it to season nine,
it's going to be really funny for me
because I've never seen them.
So I will be watching them for the very first time.
But I know Dave Franco was so funny
and I discovered Carrie Boucher
because I put her in a pilot
and then Bill saw the pilot and cast her.
Made her the lead of the show.
Yeah, and I think Carrie, a Northwest a northwestern graduate mind you is very talented um but uh but i don't know it
was weird there was a weird energy in there you know you know when when i think we all knew
something was it was coming to an end and we kind of we kind of knew it was time for it to be over
but that we kind of didn't want it to be over and and i think in bill's mind it was like you know
if these new kids if this gels with the audience this could take off like like er you know and and just keep putting in new cast and have it keep
going yeah i i remember the moment i realized i was like holy shit i'm screech holy shit i'm
i'm sorry you were screeching and and and and and uh john c is belding i was like holy shit
yeah especially after i did uh i did read i don't know if you guys talked about it or i also looked I was like, holy shit. Yeah. Especially after. I did.
I did read.
I don't know if you guys talked about it or I also looked it up that it was almost season.
I was almost supposed to be like a not a spinoff kind of, but like, you know, they were going to call it something different.
Like, well, it is a spinoff.
It's not the same episode.
Right.
If you if you if it's not the same show if you recognize season nine came like a year
and a half later and not necessarily a year later like you know what i mean yeah i was i was leaving
and the the idea was to help launch this new series so jd would be there for six episodes to
like make the audience feel like it wasn't that different and then i would tiptoe out and carry
and hand the vo literally off to carrie boucher and um and it was going to be like scrubs med school was kind of like the idea right yeah
and um you know we're teachers now um but we had gotten so far into the silly realm by that time
too you know what i mean like it was very, dude. Like, you and I dressed up as a cowboy.
What was the name of that guy who I think may have passed?
He was very funny, the security guard guy.
Yes, yes. Did he pass away?
He did pass away, yes.
Joel's going to get his name for us.
Wendell.
Something like that, right?
He was very funny.
I remember doing some funny stuff with him while I was there for season nine.
Do you have another question?
Anything going? No, I'm just entran nine. Do you have another question? Anything going?
No, I'm just entranced.
He's entranced.
Shock, yes.
Do you have any requests?
Donald, can Serenade you with a song?
The only request is that if I can do a,
it's a sequence of numbers that after the numbers,
a song plays that you guys always do on the podcast. I don't want
to say it because if I say it... Oh, you want to do it.
No, wait, wait. I would have done it
already. No, he's very respectful.
I appreciate that, but I would have
5, 6, 7, 8.
Dan, turn it off. Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
Turn it off. Dan. Listen.
Listen, you would be...
You're allowed to do it because it's a special occasion.
And by the way, a lot of people... sorry, it's Wendell Middlebrooks.
And he was hilarious.
And I'm sad to say that he did pass.
He was a very, very funny man.
And he was on season nine of Scrubs as a security guard.
But a lot of talk on the social media about Bill Lawrence and these numbers this week.
And I think people were cracking up about
how Bill kept doing that. And these numbers are all over my timeline. I don't know if it's happened
to you too, Donald. No, I knew exactly what he was talking about when he said it. I'm very
impressed that he asked if he could do it and he hasn't done it yet. Unlike Bill, he's a respectful man. I would say that Bill randomly doing it made it great.
I mean, just like-
But now you're taking away from your five, six, seven, eight.
No, Donald, I can't stop it.
Listen, listen, it's your birthday.
You're the very first person we've allowed to do this
who's not Donald Bill Lawrence or I.
Oh, Judy did too.
Judy did and so did, what's her name? The caller,
didn't she? Yes.
Okay, you're right. You ruined the
specialness of it. Well, I was just saying as long as
I'm not the only person.
You're one of few other than
Donald and I. You're way too respectful, Sean.
I'm going to say that you're way too respectful.
Well, thank you. Thank you for calling
in. Happy birthday. And as you
leave, you may yell those. Don't yell
them because Dan's just...
What?
Donald, let me direct Sean.
Go ahead. I'm sorry, dude. I didn't mean to get
in the way. Okay. Sean, you can do it however
you like. Thank you for coming on the
show. Happy birthday.
Thank you guys so much.
Thank you.
This is amazing.
Go for it,
Sean.
Five,
six,
seven,
eight.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Okay,
we nailed it.
No,
we're not going to play the whole song.
Dan,
Dan,
turn it off.
Dan,
that's enough.
Thank you,
Dan.
Okay,
we're back.
Thank you guys for coming on.
Happy,
happy,
happy birthday.
Thank you.
Happy birthday. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. How do you guys for coming on. Happy, happy, happy birthday. Thank you. Happy birthday.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
How do you wish someone well on a Duncan,
on a D&D campaign?
Do you say like,
may your journey be successful
or something like that?
That sounds great.
May all of your journeys be successful.
May the dice fall in your favor.
That's perfect.
Yeah, there you go.
I wish you 25 critical hits in your next campaign.
May a warlock never eat your brains.
I hope you never see the eyes of a beholder.
Yeah.
If you ever come across an elf and his name is Jasper, ignore him.
An elf with a bow is so cliche.
Okay, bye, guys.
Bye.
We have to let you go.
Bye.
Thank you so much.
The show is going on forever, Donald.
This is a long one, huh?
I know.
I know.
Well, we got it going on D&D and so many other things.
French fries.
Okay, let's get back into it.
Okay, so we were talking about the awesome...
I think we've done the one or justice.
Johnny's great.
Charles Papert, the city came up with a great job.
Well choreographed by Mark Buckland.
Mr. Man.
Amazing.
Okay, then you with the medical jargon.
I know, dude.
I want to say that was badass,
and I was watching it going, go
Zach. Very good. Because at
9-10, I have a big-ass chunk
of jargon. And for all of you in
the medical profession who know what the hell I'm saying,
you guys are smart.
And all I had to do was memorize it.
I didn't get too many of those, but that was a
doozy. That was a doozy.
Also, the return of Jimmy Walker.
Oh, so funny.
Why are you always in my fantasy?
No, why am I always in your fantasy?
You got a problem, man.
Yeah.
By the way, you mentioned it last time Jimmy Walker showed up, and he makes really fun,
bizarre choices.
Yes.
Like, why are you always in my fantasies?
You got a problem, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was hilarious, though.
Very, very interesting line reads.
But make it funny.
It makes it very, very funny.
Yeah, that was very funny.
There's a reason why he was Kid Dynamite.
A little bit of trivia on Sarah Chalk in the catcher outfit.
She looks very cute at 1142, but she's wearing a left-handed mitt, Donald.
Well, that's for camera purposes, obviously.
I guess so, but I'm telling you,
I looked on the trivia,
and Sarah's a right-hander.
She shouldn't be wearing a left-handed mitt.
Throw it right here, right here.
There you go.
She was, help me to help you.
I don't know how she didn't laugh
with him doing that in her face.
Help me to help you.
Help me to help you. I'm sure on the gag reel, which is probably on YouTube, doing that in her face. I think she did. I think on the- I need to help you.
I'm sure on the gag reel, which is probably on YouTube, you can see her cracking up at that.
Yeah.
And then finally, this is my final one.
Dr. Kelso saying, Dr. Kelso, I'm not suing the hospital.
And then him walking out was my biggest laugh of the show.
I said it before.
I'll say it again.
Yeah, that was funny.
That shit was hilarious, man.
That was funny.
My heart hates uggos,, man. That was funny. My heart hates Uggos 414.
That's funny, but I mean, it's a funny line.
But first of all, I'm no piece of art.
And the idea that JD was saying he hates Uggos is a bit ridiculous because I'm no Brad Pitt myself.
But it was funny.
But it was very funny.
Yeah.
Very funny.
That end song is supposed to be five for fighting,
easy tonight for licensing purposes.
I listened to it on, was it that on, you listened on Hulu, right?
I saw it on Hulu.
It wasn't that for sure.
Yeah, it wasn't.
I was on iTunes and it wasn't on iTunes.
So just to reiterate, some of you have heard us say this a thousand times,
but those of you who hadn't, because there was no streaming and such
when this show was made and these licensing agreements were made
with these songs, unless you're watching them in certain places, you have the DVDs, of course, or most of the time when you purchase it, like really purchase it, iTunes or Amazon, the songs will be the original songs, I believe.
But when you stream, some of those contracts have expired or didn't cover streaming.
So someone who we never know and has nothing to do with Bill or Krista,
who did a lot of the music, just put songs in.
I'd love to meet that person.
Maybe Joelle can do a homework assignment.
Tonight on a very special episode of Fake Doctors and Real Friends.
We got to find that person and be like,
some mysterious intern at Disney was responsible for just putting in random
songs.
Because I was watching this
montage-y moment with Sarah starting to kick ass in the ICU. And I said to myself, this music isn't
moving me. And one of the great things about Scrubs is when they would find the perfect,
they slash we, would find the perfect bit of music and it would give you goosebumps and it
took the show to the next level. And people love that about the show. And it just goes to show you,
you can't just stick any old song in there because a lot of the magic of this montage for me was lost because
the song did nothing for me no offense to those musicians it's a lovely song but it wasn't that
magic that happens when you find just the right song and i bet that five for fighting easy tonight
song would have been perfect so you tell judy you love her at 20 2012 i was surprised by that
why are you trying to why are you trying to break up with her the whole fucking episode?
I don't think he's trying to break up with her.
I think he's panicking.
I think the fact that he got
upset about her taking the fries
panicked him because
that's a sign of I really do care
about
how this
girl makes me feel. I care so much
that I'm starting to recognize patterns.
You know what I mean?
And when you start to recognize patterns, you're invested.
And I think Turk realized, holy cow, I'm so invested in Carla.
And it's new for me.
Therefore, he snaps with the French fries
and he doesn't know how to take it.
And when it comes time to break up with her,
which she thinks is about to happen,
he tells her the truth.
It's freaking me out.
I love you so much.
The writers did a good job with that mislead
because I, again, haven't seen this in 20 years.
And I was like, oh, did they break up for a few episodes?
I had no idea that you were about to say I love you.
Oh, right on.
You did a good job, though.
It was a very heartfelt moment, and you're a fine actor, Donald Faison.
Oh, Zach Braff, you are a fine actor.
Two more small things.
First time Dr. Cox ever calls Sarah Barbie.
Okay.
Just a little trivia for you.
The two of them together was really fun.
They're really good together.
They were good.
They were a good combo.
And lastly, because there's Girl Scout cookies in this episode,
do you want to tell the listeners what your favorite Girl Scout cookie is?
Joel, do you want to go first while he's moving?
I don't fuck with Girl Scout cookies.
Whoa.
Fighting words, Donald.
How can you not buy cookies from these adorable little girls?
I don't care about the girls. I care about the cookie.
Yeah, I was about to say, I think the cookies are
overpriced.
Okay, but for the sake of this fucking exercise,
can you name your favorite dick?
I don't fuck with Girl Scout cookies.
Oh my God. All right, Joelle.
Joelle, what's your favorite? I like Samoas.
Samoas are delicious, Zach.
A frozen tagalong, though, is my favorite.
It's the chocolate and peanut butter ones.
You're one of those ones.
Dan, you want to weigh in?
Favorite Girl Scout cookie?
Oh, he's got a box.
Oh, shit.
He's got a box of Samoas.
Are those Samoas?
Do you have a niece or something like that that you had to buy that shit from?
Dan, where did you get those?
I see those girls.
I see those girls and their mom on the corner.
And they're like, Girl Scout cookies.
And in my mind, I'm like, no.
Dan, where did you get those?
They come to my parents' neighborhood all the time.
And so they always hit me up.
They say, Dan, they're coming around.
Throw us an order.
And I get in between five and 10 boxes of samosas.
You know what they're doing?
Waste of money.
You know what they're doing?
Waste of money.
Shut up, Dan.
You're supporting a charity.
All right, listen.
Oh, is it for charity?
Yeah, they give it to,
they do Girl Scout things with it.
What Girl Scout things?
You think they're just pocketing the money
and putting badges on their shit?
So let me get this straight.
Yeah, you think the Girl Scout cookies
aren't doing shit with that money?
Let me get this straight.
You think they're throwing a prom?
Hold on, let me get this straight.
So when you were a kid
and you had to sell candy for something,
you didn't pocket that money?
No, and I never had one of those things
because I wasn't involved in any of those activities.
You ain't pocket that money?
No, you're admitting to the audience
that you stole fucking charity money when you were selling shit.
No, I would just up the price.
All you got to do is up the price.
Oh, God.
Instead of making it a dollar, you make it $1.50
and you walk away with 50 cents.
You know what they do?
This is like...
How to hustle?
You want to learn how to hustle?
This is the perfect way to hustle.
Listen.
Listen, they give kids...
There's a reason why when you see those kids with the candy and the chocolate bars,
that they're charging you $5 for the chocolate.
Oh, my God.
Will this Peloton character be back on the next episode, or is just in this episode he might just be this episode but i didn't drink
hey check this out i didn't drink this episode you didn't drink but you got all worked up because
of a peloton instructor because of a peloton instructor and how my wife responded to him
i was like so that was really interesting that you you know you made me you gave me that guy
she's like well i i rode with him this morning. Oh. I was like, oh, okay.
Oh, I see.
Why if Casey Cobb got all worked up by this guy?
I think she might have got worked up by this dude.
I bet you he's got better abs than you, Donald.
He definitely has better abs than me.
He has better guns than me.
He's probably got better sea gutters.
He's got way more stamina than I have.
Hey, listen.
I just want to tell you something.
What these Girl Scouts are doing in California is setting up outside the weed shops because weed is legal here, even for recreational, as it is in several other states.
So you're telling me that's not a hustle?
That's a smart hustle, but it's a hilarious hustle.
So it's not a smart hustle to up the price of Girl Scout cookies.
No.
It's a smart hustle just to stay in front of the weed shop.
You're not allowed to have a weed shop within feet of children.
Right.
They're breaking the law.
Okay.
You're breaking the law, Girl Scouts.
If you're lining up in front of the weed shop, you're breaking the law.
So Donald is now going to go out.
And you're putting the weed shop in jeopardy.
I'm just putting it out there.
You're going to go out there and start breaking it up, right?
Get out in front of my weed shop.
But let me get a box of Samoas first. I'm going to call the cops. I'm going to call the cops on them. shop. But let me get a box of Samoas first.
I'm going to call the cops.
I'm going to call the cops on them.
But first, let me get a box of Thin Mints.
The only way.
What's the actual retail price?
What's the actual retail price?
We've kept you people for an hour and a half.
We love you.
