Where are you?
I'm in my son's room.
He's out of town with his sister for a month or two.
Maybe a month, I think.
And somebody's here to handle pest control because of the air conditioning system and all of that stuff is being fixed and everything.
Let's just say I'm in my son's room right i have never seen i have never seen you outside of your closet since
covid began and i'm flustered it's it's it's it's a little overwhelming for me right now like it
doesn't feel as cozy as the closet does yeah you know what I mean? When I look at myself in the Zoom chat
and see all of this anime stuff
in the background,
I feel, you know,
a little youthful, I guess.
You know, so.
More importantly,
it's picture day
and I don't feel like
you put on a cute outfit.
I mean,
Joelle and I clearly did.
I put on this shirt.
I put on my best
local restaurant t-shirt
I fixed my hair
Donald you're wearing a logo
we're probably going to have to photoshop
really?
if we're going to have to photoshop logos out I can change my shirt real fast
I can change my shirt real fast
we're not doing pictures until the end right?
no this is fucking picture day and I was excited for it
and I'm slamming my desk about it
because I sent you all an email I sent you all an email.
I sent you all an email that said, look
cute. It's picture day.
Oh. Because
the good folks at
merch
want to put the four of us
on a, what do you call the thing
you put on the back of a phone and hold it like that?
Pop socket. On a pop socket.
Donald, this is going to be on a pop socket.
I don't, I don't, I don't.
I'm sorry.
You're like, you're like, motherfucker,
I got a lot more on my plate than a fucking pop socket.
Okay.
I apologize.
For everyone who buys the pop socket,
if you do not approve of what i'm wearing i'm
gonna change my shirt but if you don't approve of the background and or what i'm wearing it's
all right but i look don't you love how joelle is just touching up her makeup right now she looks
good too not enough time in the day you guys covid i used to like have a whole plan you know
we had to do makeup and get out of the house but i don't have a routine anymore and it takes so
much longer than a half an hour.
Wow.
It's the worst.
Daniel changed, and he looks fly as fuck.
So handsome.
Love the shirt.
Thank you.
It's my best Uniqlo button-up.
You're going to have to change the hat, too,
because it has a logo on it, Daniel.
It's OK.
They can only see the brim.
They can only see the brim.
Yeah, only the brim, Donald.
You're second-guessing.
Do you want to run and change your shirt for picture day?
Well, I got to run and change the whole background
for picture day, dude.
No, they can.
No, they'll cut us out of our own back house.
And you can put your face close like I'm doing here like this.
I have no, I have a light.
Actually, I have a light for this occasion.
Hold on.
Yeah, I've got my ring light on, dude.
I took picture day seriously.
Y'all are fucking phoning it in.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry.
I apologize to you, Zach.
I should be purged.
I should be punished. I have offended my. I apologize to you, Zach. I should be purged. I should be punished.
I have offended my dear brother, Zachary.
Zachary.
I'm in such a good mood right now.
Zachary.
I love it.
Zachary.
Listen.
Zachary.
Forgive me.
I'm in such a good mood right now.
There's a line at the end of a really wonderful film called Going in Style that I may have directed.
And Alan Arkin turns to Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman
and he says, I have this very odd feeling
I haven't felt in a very long time.
And I think it might be happiness.
That's funny.
So that's how I felt.
Alan Arkin said it or Woody Allen said it?
Well, Alan Arkin does a very similar neurotic,
dewy voice.
But I don't know.
I was dialing in and I was feeling something like
amidst all of the mayhem,
amidst all the COVID and tragedy and fires,
I was calling you my friends
and I was feeling a tingle of happiness.
Yay.
And all of you. And all of you.
And all of you who are listening.
Because holy S-word, there are a lot of people listening to this podcast.
Yes, there are.
I mean, a lot.
I'm just going to say, I'm not going to talk specific numbers, but we had a little bit of a holy shit moment.
There are a lot of you listening, and it's bizarre when you think about talking to that many people. I think if I thought of it like that, I would be nervous. I just think
of it like I'm talking to you three. Amen. Right. That's how I look at it too. I find it very
interesting how now things that we say are actually, you know, people are listening.
So if you say, you know, before, you know, it does feel like it.
It does feel like it's just us, the four of us talking.
And so now sometimes when I look at my Instagram and I see what, you know, the comments some people have to say about some of the things we're talking about, it's like, wow, okay.
So let me just be a little bit more careful and not so cavalier with some of the issues I talk about.
That's bullshit.
We want you to be you.. We want you to be you.
The listeners want you to be you.
Obviously be me, obviously.
But there's a certain way to say things so people can receive it better.
You know what I mean?
Of course.
Whether you're talking to one person or you're talking to a million,
there's ways to say it.
Exactly.
And so, you know.
Although I did shut shoot down one of your trolls.
I don't know if you saw that.
No, I did see that.
Oh, that was so funny.
That was great.
I missed it.
What happened?
I appreciate my little brother coming and freaking standing up to the bully for me.
I have a little bit of pet peeve about people that come on to social media and be like,
I might have to unfollow or I might have to stop listening.
Like, bro.
Sounds good.
Go away.
No one cares.
It's like if I was having a barbecue and I was serving those little pigs in a blanket
and you came over and you said, you know, I'm vegetarian.
I might have to leave.
I'd be like, get the fuck out.
I don't care.
This is my barbecue.
This is my barbecue.
Those are my fucking pigs in a blanket.
Right, right.
Get the fuck out.
I made this shit.
And you know what?
Give me my frozen margarita back, bitch.
Right, right, right, right.
You take the margarita.
You take the margarita.
Everything that they, you would take the margarita?
Yeah.
Guess what?
Guess what?
Guess what?
This shit's free.
Like, this shit is free.
You have to listen to some ads, but this shit's free.
Like, you're not paying for anything.
Twitter, Instagram, it's all free.
Like, don't come on and say, I didn't like it when Donald said this.
I might have to stop listening.
Come on, buddy.
GTFO.
That's fine.
GTFO.
See you later.
You're supposed to say preach. You're supposed to say preach.
You're supposed to say preach.
Well, yeah.
Joelle is in the middle of getting her face. By the way, I wish the audience could see this because it's basically a fucking YouTube video of Joelle's getting ready routine.
As we're talking, she's doing her final touch.
By the way, when the world sees this picture of you, Joelle,
because you look very pretty,
I have a feeling that the dating section of our show for Joelle is going to blow up.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for a very special moment of the show
when we make Joelle's mama happy and find her a lover.
Dan, we're going to need a little theme moment for find Joelle a lover.
No problem.
I'm going to give everybody out there a hint real fast if you want to find Joelle a lover.
Here's a big tip.
Get her a PS5 preorder.
That's all you got to do.
I gave my friend Daniel one, too.
If you can get both me and Daniel a PS5, I will guarantee you a virtual date.
Why are you guys so up on this PS5?
Is it because of the freaking...
Does it come with the headset?
Does it come with the freaking VR?
No, but if you...
I just want it.
Because Cyberpunk 77 comes out two days after the release of the console.
I don't want to buy the console twice or the game twice.
So if I can get the console before the game comes out,
no matter what, I have to play day one.
Like it's Cyberpunk.
I've been waiting forever for this game.
So my brother agrees with you guys.
He's like, you'll get one.
Like there's going to be a second round of pre-orders.
I want it now.
I want to be secure and safe in my decision making.
Same, same.
I don't want to be refreshing the same Best Buy page
for 20 minutes with it in my cart.
When does it really come out?
November 12th. That's a long way away, guys. It is, but these pre-orders are going to pile up. They'll
start bundling as it gets closer to Christmas and holiday time, and those will be nice, but it'd be
also nice to get a retail price digital version of the Sony. By the way, I saw the funniest meme
that I only sent to Donald and Daniel because, well, A, I don't have your cell phone number,
bizarrely, and B, you already told me that it's gonna go
green so I was like fuck it anyway
I'm not gonna fuck this up
but we really
the second you get your iPhone we need to be on a group
I don't know why we don't have a phone group chat going
I just love that would love that
although it might be detrimental because then we'll be chatting
and not saving it all for this
right but anyway I sent Donald and Daniel a funny meme I saw It might be detrimental because then we'll be chatting and not saving it all for this. Saving it all for this. Right.
But anyway, I sent Donald and Daniel a funny meme I saw of how they don't have a disc tray in the new PS thing.
And Xbox doesn't either, right?
Correct.
And it was the Simpsons guy.
What's his name?
Ralphie?
Yeah, Ralph Wiggum. Yeah.
Ralph Wiggum.
It was like GameStop right now, and it was Ralph Wiggum going, I'm in danger.
Sorry, GameStop.
It's just, why do I need all these discs?
They don't resell well, unless you keep them for like 40 years.
And that's on GameStop, too.
That is the one thing that pisses me off about GameStop.
If you take the disc home and open the seal, now when you take it and you don't like let's say
the game is broken or whatever you don't like the game you go to return it they say that's six
dollars then they go around then they turn around and sell that shit for damn near the exact price
that it costs to buy it originally. It's trash.
It's going to be all download now then, right?
And that is the way it should be.
That's the way it should be.
This is the way.
But it takes a long time.
In my brief Xbox career, doesn't it take
a long time? No, it moves faster.
Once you download it, it moves faster.
No, I'm saying it takes a long time to download a game.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know if I was doing something wrong
when I first downloaded my games.
Oh, no, that's the right thing to do.
The big issue now is how much bigger the games are getting
and how much hard drive space the actual console is going to come with.
Because the standard PlayStation has 825 gigs of space,
and the newest Call of Duty game is 200 gigabytes.
So that's like, I know that's not standard for every game, but let's game is 200 gigabytes so that's like i know that's not
standard for every game but let's say you have four games that are like that you can only have
four games on your playstation that's ridiculous i thought i thought xboxes were like terabyte
one terabyte uh and two terabyte xboxes yeah probably yeah probably for sure i'm just talking
about like the cheapest playstation because like you know i'm guessing that in general people
either get the xbox series s the cheaper one or the the cheap playstation
which is the digital one for 399 and that one is the difference between those two and the ones that
are coming out they're the same thing so there's there's the xbox series s and the xbox series x
there's more differences between those but literally the only difference between the two
playstations is one comes with a disk drive and one doesn't okay and so i'm not buying i'm an xbox guy am i what's the difference between the so do you have
a 4k tv i do own of course he does so then you're going to want to get an xbox series x because the
x the lower grade one does not have 4k support that's the big difference the better one with
a disk drive that's bigger that's slightly more expensive does have 4k support what about 3d and virtual uh currently
there's no there's no there's no vr or 3d stuff for the xbox there's there's 4k up to 120 frames
per second support if your tv has a high refresh rate other than than that, you gotta go PS. I still say, the Oculus Quest, I've been saying it,
I'm just saying, this thing is
the absolute shit. If you're gonna go
VR, get the Oculus.
I am well aware, they even have a new Star Wars
game coming out for the Oculus, where you're
blasting, where you're freaking two-gunning
that shit like John Woo.
But wait, I need a, but don't I need
a PC for that? No, you don't. It's
a standalone product, and the Oculus Quest
2 just got announced. You can get
your pre-order right now. Well, guys,
you should send us one. No, they're not sponsoring me yet.
Right? Come on, Oculus.
By the way, I have an Oculus, but I never used it,
because the one I have needed to be set
up with a PC, and I don't know how to
do that, and it's one of those
things that just I never got around to. I totally get that. But if it's a standalone thing, I'm color me
intrigued. It is standalone. It's I just, you know what, if you're interested in VR at all,
I just got to say, it is such an incredible experience that it completely, it is one of
those things with every step in terms of how we interact with technology and video games.
It was one of those things that just completely blew my mind. It was an instant compliment.
If the good folks at Oculus want to send all four of us,
we'll be glad to talk a whole lot about it.
Absolutely.
I'll talk about Oculus all day.
Yeah.
And all night.
Listen, you guys got to go to Star Wars.
We could do a whole one where we're all in the same virtual world,
a whole podcast.
We literally could.
Can you do that?
Yeah, yeah.
They have what's called big screen VR, and we can all have the same room. Wait, whole podcast. We literally could. Can you do that? Yeah, yeah. They have what's called big screen VR.
Wait, hold up.
Let me ask you a question.
If I'm playing a certain game, and it's like, you know how when you play PlayStation or Xbox,
you go into these big rooms, and now you guys are all playing missions together.
Can you do that with Oculus?
There are a couple games that offer multiplayer.
Yes, we got to do that.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding you at all, Ben.
We can all meet up in the virtual universe. There are a couple games that offer multiplayer. Yes, we got to do that. Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding at all, Ben.
We can all meet up in the virtual universe.
Do they have the Ready Player One suits yet that you can put on and you can feel every touch?
No, they don't have the hat off suits yet.
They don't yet.
Well, call me when they have that.
That's what I want.
I'm waiting for that.
I'll let you know.
Oh, my God, Zach.
We can virtual hug.
We can upstairs, downstairs.
I'll virtual wop on you.
Oh, my God.
And I would receive a virtual whop.
I'll hit, like, there'll be, like,
Control-X for whop to whop on Donald.
And then I'll just whop all over you.
Oh, my God.
If it was Control-X,
you know how you just keep pressing the X button
over and over and over and over again?
Remember that game Decathlon
where you had to press it really fast?
There was a game.
There was a computer game.
I would do that to you.
When I was in college,
there was a computer game where it was a sex game. I would do that to you. When I was in college, there was a computer game
where it was a sex game
and to have sex,
you moved the mouse
really fast.
Was it called
Leisure Suit Larry
in the Land of Lounge Lizards?
No, although I did love
those games.
Sierra.
Did you guys play
Sierra games when you were
a kid?
Yeah, absolutely, dude.
Sierra was amazing.
What are you talking about?
Oh my God,
Sierra games were amazing.
Police Quest.
Yeah.
Space Quest. Space Quest.
Space Quest.
And by the way,
for hints,
they used to have a hotline
you have to call
because I would be so stuck
and my parents would be like,
what the fuck are you doing?
What are these charges?
But I was like addicted to a drug.
I'd be like,
make sure no one's looking
and then I'd call the hotline
and you would have to go,
for those of you who are young,'re probably like what the fuck is he
talking about this is way before like the internet and the computers are what they are you'd have to
go on the hotline and and be like find the scene where you were lost and it would give you the clue
and it was charging you some astronomical rate to get the hint 99 cents a second whatever it was
and i would be along there and be like i'm sorry mom i'm like like like out loud even though she wasn't in the room like i'm gotta do this i'm lost in police
quest and i would but anyway this sex game this is like 90 late 90s and it was um and the fact
and you're having sex and the faster you move the the mouse you're having sex and i had this born
again christian roommate who wasn't in the room in my dorm room,
and he literally, it's out of a movie,
he opened the door,
and I'm just jamming this mouse,
trying to win,
because you win when the computer people have an orgasm.
Oh, no.
And it literally, he opens the door,
like, to show his very religious,
nice girlfriend the room.
No.
And I'm in there just jamming my mouse,
just jamming it
and i turn around just straight out of a movie and i'm frantically trying to like
get out of the game and it won't and all you hear is like
and i'm like escape escape escape and literally out of the movie he's like uh we'll come back
we'll come back later. Oh, no. That was so awkward. Did you still talk to that roommate, Zach?
No, no.
I'm shocked.
He said so respectfully.
He was a very nice guy, but we just weren't on the same page.
Sounds like it.
Because, you know, the whole, he believed that I was going to go to hell,
and so it was kind of hard to get along.
It's hard to start a relationship at that point.
It's hard to get along, really.
And yet, any time another human being actually says to you, you're going to go to hell, it's kind of hard to freaking continue.
Where do you go from there?
I once dated a born-again Christian woman, and she was great.
But I said to her, kind of trying to make a joke, I said, I mean, how can this really go anywhere?
I mean, you think I'm going to hell. And and i said what can i say i hope you're wrong
and the most sincere face she went i hope i am too oh
and i was like escape escape
oh wait we should probably get into the show probably get into the show
Count us in Donald
5, 6, 7, 8 I gotta say something.
This is a fucking amazing episode.
I laughed a lot.
I laughed my ass off.
I texted Bill.
I said, Bill, we are at 220.
What is it?
221, 222?
Yep.
I said, we are at 221, and we are all in the groove.
This episode is, I think, the best of season two.
You think so?
I'm going to go out and say it.
Wow. I really did enjoy this episode.
It's got a little bit of everything.
It's got heart with Carla's.
By the way way i was thinking
this i was dialing and i have no idea what percentage of the audience is actually watching
the show along with it or or just listening um and we have no way to to measure that but
but so uh anyway that's irrelevant i i was it has the judy's uh carla's uh mom's death
um which and and the and the the wedding that they're about to have in the hospital with Turk.
So it's got heart, but then it's got so much funny stuff.
It's got a whole lot of sexy stuff with Amy Smart.
There's just some hilarious stuff.
I mean, that has some of the funniest stuff of season two in it.
And I just, I don't know.
I had one of these moments like, I think this is the best episode of season two.
Okay.
Well, let's get into the recap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to call it the recap, but then you know what?
Then Daniel has to make up all of these damn theme songs and stuff like that.
Oh, I don't mind.
Whatever.
Okay, well, then let's get into the recap.
Daniel is a DJ.
I'm sure that he doesn't mind taking a few minutes and making up a little.
No problem.
Here we go.
And go.
Tasty coma wife is back and she is naughty.
Yes.
Call his mom dies, prompting her to want to get married ASAP.
Elliot Mitch.
She's already bought herself a wedding dress.
Plus Ted, the lawyer and Dr.
Kelso want everyone to take it easy on how they deliver information to patients.
Sometimes because of pressure and or angst, we make decisions without using our better judgment.
This usually causes more pain and misery, not just for us, but for others too.
If we're lucky, we have people in our lives who care about us enough to tell us like it is.
But in the end, you have to have the awareness and the ability to accept, receive.
You have to have the ability and the awareness to accept and receive the information, even if it's not what you want to hear.
Amen.
Well said.
Well said.
Maybe we should just change it to you do it in 47 seconds.
Okay, that's fine.
Well, you're going to cut the part where I mess up, right?
Oh, yeah. No, I think we should leave it because. Fuck you. It, that's fine. Well, you're going to cut the part where I mess up, right? Oh, yeah.
No, I think we should leave it because...
Fuck you.
It doesn't make sense.
We like to show the audience all the seams.
No.
No, well said.
I got to tell you, Donald.
It's Donald, right?
I got to tell you, what an episode.
What an episode.
What an episode.
And, I mean, as a straight person, must say that amy smart in lingerie mounting me
is um is a piece of art yeah yeah you know when watching this this is one of those episodes where
i was like this motherfucker i was even like this motherfucker i I'm watching it going, what a job. What a job.
What a job.
Being paid extraordinarily well to have Amy Smart mount you in lingerie.
Can't beat that with a baseball bat.
Although I'm so neurotic that when she was doing that, I was like looking at the scar I have on my chin.
You know, I'm tied up.
JD is tied up on the bed and she's in a very sexy outfit, and she's mounting me, and all I could see was the scar on my chin.
I think that's most actors when they watch themselves.
Yeah.
You know, I did a movie with a very wonderful actress.
She actually is one of the few people in the world to have an EGOT.
Her name is Whoopi Goldberg.
Oh,
yeah.
Thunderous applause.
Thunderous applause for Whoopi.
We love Whoopi here at the show.
I once told her,
I was like,
you know,
uh,
I loved all of the movies you made when I was growing up.
Like a lot of what you did shaped how I am now.
You know what I mean?
Me wanting to be an actor and
everything like that. You made the type of movies I wanted to be in. She said, it's funny because
when I look at that stuff, she's like, thank you very much, first of all. But when I look at that
stuff, what I see is, oh, I think I looked, I don't like the way I looked in that scene or,
you know, I was on my period that day or whatever it is you
know what i mean and that's you're exactly right you're on this you're in a scene with
the lovely amy smart you guys have great chemistry together the scene works obviously uh
and all you can think about is oh i don't like the score on my chin well i think also i just
feel like next to Amy Smart, I looked
like, it was like Beauty and the Beast.
I just felt like, I just felt very
unattractive. I disagree
with you wholeheartedly. Well, thank you.
No, I'm saying, it's more of what you're saying
with Whoopi said. It's like, you know,
I'm not usually obsessed with
that stuff. When I watch myself back,
whether it's something I'm directing or I'm in someone else's
thing, I'm like, okay, it is what it is. but there's times when I when I get you know like any human
being going oh what's that thing on my fucking chin oh what who was doing my hair that day what
the hell happened I'm like yeah well yeah you know I understand you know I don't understand the hair
part because my hair is usually the same and everything anyway um yo holy shit, Tasty Coma Wife is naughty. Yeah, Tasty Coma Wife is naughty.
She got you tied up.
Got you tied up.
She likes drama and she likes naughty shit.
She wants to get into it.
She wants you to, she's the type of person that's like, spank me harder, damn it.
I love how down Amy was with all this.
She was so, first of all, she's very funny in this.
And there's one moment later where she she does this
move i've never even seen before she licks both of her fingers did you see that yeah and then she
rubs the air it's like she grabs the air with her i almost thought in my brain i thought was she
maybe she was going to do a lick and then touch her nipples and then she went oh no it's it's it's
primetime tv let me just grab the air. Maybe.
I don't know what she was up to,
but it was,
it was delicious.
And it was delicious.
And it was very funny.
And,
and I don't know.
I just,
I'm here to say,
if you're Amy's agent,
however much she's working,
she should be working more because she is funny and talented.
And,
and she did a great job.
I wish JD,
there were more episodes, but I think, I think this is the last one i keep saying that i'm not sure i didn't realize she'd done this
this is the last one the last because next episode is all about ryan reynolds
i didn't realize she had done so many episodes dude like yeah i didn't i didn't know that
that's she's great she's amazing great um how about 58 seconds in i get an elliot's there and
i've got i've got rope burns on my wrist.
Yes.
And Elliot's looking like, what the hell is that?
And I go, it's my new watch band.
It's made out of cat.
So quick on your toes.
I know, so quick.
And then, oh, my God, how about us all laughing at Wang?
Vera Wang.
Did you laugh?
Well, when they said it, did you not laugh?
Yeah, because Wang is a funny word.
I'm sorry.
It's funny.
I'm sorry.
Wang is a funny euphemism for penis.
Yes, it is.
But I just love, I love that we're like these doctors and we're laughing at the word Wang.
Like, and I love the laugh.
It's like.
Like, like somebody can't hear that you know what i mean i feel like i don't know about you other 45 and 46 year olds listening but i will still
laugh at the word wang i'm sorry i'm sorry if i'm uh i'm too immature yeah i there's nothing
wrong with laughing at wang wang's funny Wang's funny, dude. Wang's funny.
It's just, it's funny.
Todd's first Air 5.
I don't know how many Air 5s there are in the whole series, but Todd delivers his very first Air 5 here.
This is the first, do you know this because of Scrubs Wiki?
No, I didn't.
I just, I know that I hadn't seen one before.
Oh, okay.
Maybe this is a question.
Can we ask Scrubs Wiki or is this a problem?
No, I mean, we haven't used him in a while.
And we did buy a lot of attention from him with the Funko Pops.
So let's ask him right now.
So Trevor, how are you?
I hope you're enjoying the Funko Pops.
I hope they haven't been sold on eBay.
I think this is the very first time that Todd ever air fives anyone. Is that true?
Trevor, I have one last question. Go ahead.
And I had to be that guy. Go ahead.
But is there a number, a count on how many times Todd air fives? Is that something that
you guys, that can be found on Scrubs Wiki? Wow.
Hi, Zach and Donald. The Funko Pops and I are doing well here in Colorado.
Todd has had many unrequited fives, but this is the first Air Five.
Over the series, Todd names 51 different fives,
and yes, all of them are named on Scrubs Wiki.
This is the only standard Air Five,
but he gives a skeptical Air Five in Season 6
and a fairy five in My Princess.
Thank you, Trevor. Thank you, Trevor.
It feels like you're giving him a large assignment,
but maybe Trevor will go for it.
We did give him signed Funko Pops.
He has the only,
he has the only JD signed Funko Pop in existence.
It's priceless.
Priceless.
At least a G, G and a half.
You get a G and a half for that shit, dude.
So not priceless, price full.
There's a price.
But you make the price.
All right.
This janitor, this shorts thing I've said before is the funniest thing to me.
And I've said this before.
So sorry, I'm repeating myself.
But if you look at the season two blooper reel on YouTube, I could not get through this moment.
I just thought Neil, everything related to Neil and shorts, I just thought was so funny.
And I didn't know,
I'd forgotten that JD put the shorts on
multiple times.
All I remembered was the end moment
where I'm like, look, I'm a doctor.
I can't wear shorts to work.
And he says the beloved line,
the good Lord didn't bless my wife
with all her fingers she
only has pointer and thumb pinky and then he does a little gesture um that's the part where i was
just cracking up laughing but um but yeah jd wears those scrub short shorts multiple times
and um and they're dirty because they've been they get dirty right because he throws them in the trash he throws him in the dumpster and then he finds janitor finds him
he goes mentirosa liar why is the janitor all of a sudden speaking spanish in a dumpster we don't
know um the other thing i'd forgotten which is so fucking funny at 10 minutes and he goes i thought
we were shorts buddies uh you know you know, the schedule Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday,
Thursday,
Friday shorts,
weekends optional.
I'll be wearing shorts.
I love it.
I laughed at a couple of,
I laughed.
Well,
okay.
So I laughed at the whole janitor story,
but I also laughed at the,
uh,
the Ted DougDoug storyline.
Yes.
Which had me rolling.
Yep.
Somehow Ted and Doug have now bonded over a week.
They have a weekend bike ride.
Yep.
That they go on every weekend.
This episode.
Where they ride bikes and vent to each other about how much they hate Dr. Chels.
Yeah.
By the way, we hear about a few activities outside of the hospital in this episode.
There's also a nurse Roberts above ground.
Oh, a nurse Roberts pool party.
By the way, and Ted specifies her above ground pool party.
Ground pool party, yeah.
But that's where Dr. Cox, that's the last time Dr. Cox got violent.
Yeah, he says, I wrote it down because it's so funny. Cox says, i might just rip off that tie off your neck and jam it down your esophagus
and ted goes i think you proved at nurse roberts above ground pool party that that doesn't solve
anything oh my god this episode had me rolling i had so many laugh out loud moments and fucking
sam lloyd is hilarious he's hilarious in this episode and then finally. I had so many laugh out loud moments. Sam, fucking Sam Lloyd is hilarious.
He's hilarious in this episode.
And then finally at the end when he's like,
when we're all there, everybody's listing their problems.
He goes, I'm sterile.
Yeah.
And they look at him and he's like,
I think it's because of the bike ride.
No, but before he goes, my, my, what does he say?
My, my swimmers, my little guy swimming circles.
Yeah. Scrubs Wiki said, one of the things it said is,
this is the first episode where the lawyer admits that he's sterile.
Fred, rerun Barry.
Hold up.
Wait, wait.
Don't get to Fred yet.
Okay.
We got to talk about the goosebumps I had when Judy Reyes just drops.
Her mom died.
Yeah.
And we always say this, but we'll say it again.
Judy Reyes is such a good actress,
and she brings the heart and the, you know,
Bill always used to say she grounds the show.
You and I can get so silly,
and some of the ancillary characters can get so silly,
but then there's always Carla who's grounding it.
And this show proves that, this episode, then there's always Carla who's grounding it. And this
show proves that this episode, because there we are being as silly as ever. I mean, literally,
we're about to talk about Fred rerun Barry doing dances and there's Carla and she just goes,
my mom died and everyone just drops into reality. And I was just very moved probably because
there's been a lot of death in my life and friendship circling around people who need love.
But the looks on all of our faces when we just kind of like looked at her and dropped in with her and gave her love.
And I don't know, I just found that was very, I got goosebumps and I thought it was just very, it just showed how quickly the show can go from Fred Berry dancing to having goosebumps and tears in your eyes.
You know what I mean?
Oh, absolutely.
I was very impressed with Turk also in this episode and how he was selfless about everything.
Like, I kept waiting for him to make a joke every time he was comforting her.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, and he never does.
Everything always, he was always very supportive of Carla and her loss.
And that was very impressive, especially on the show where we're always telling jokes.
We took this part of the show very seriously.
Yeah.
And Turk is like the dream fiancé boyfriend in that he's – I don't know.
He's just saying all the right – Turk, who can often put his foot in his mouth is saying all the things anyone who just lost their mom would want to be said.
Right.
He says that beautiful thing about let me be there to fill up some of the bowl that she, I forgot the wording of it, but that was beautifully written and well delivered.
Your acting is really good in this episode.
Oh, you are such a sweetheart.
Go on. But Judy
Ray is, just sorry, because she has
more emotion to do than you, just a
few times. Amazing. Fucking Judy.
Judy, Judy, Judy.
Crushed. All right, Fred Berry,
for those of you who don't know,
was the star of a show called What's Happening
that... Hey, Raj!
Hey, Raj! Hey, hey, hey!
And me and Donald's childhood was a seminal sitcom about a family living where did
they live oh shit oh wow so well we're gonna put you to work say it was philadelphia i don't i
don't remember what city it was but they didn't have much money and they were friends and it was about their lives and uh as a white kid growing up in
the suburbs it like good times opened my eyes to a world i didn't have any connection to or know
anything about in a hysterical way and uh i loved what's happening dude it was one of my favorite
shows i used to laugh so hard st louis thank you uh i used to laugh so hard. St. Louis. St. Louis, thank you. I used to laugh so hard. There's so many parts of the show that I remember still to this day. When they go to the Doobie Brothers concert and they bootleg it with one of those things to try and, to try that one freaking Dwayne singing comma,
comma,
comma,
comma,
comma,
comma.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Freaking rerun doing the dance at the talent show and winning it.
And then after that,
always dancing.
Wait,
we have a Roger's laugh.
We have a correction from joelle never mind they lived
in watts los angeles oh shit let's let's let's correct that yeah but but but i um i remember
um a really funny episode where was it rerun who got a credit card and he didn't really understand
the ramifications and as i recall rerun just got like someone got to him with a credit card and he didn't really understand the ramifications. And as I recall, Rerun just got – like someone got to him with a credit card,
and he just started buying tons of shit.
And they all came over, and Rerun, who had no money, these guys all had no money,
and the house was full of stuff Rerun had bought with his credit card.
And I just remember, even though God knows how many years ago it was,
I remember there was a scuba tank in the room.
So amongst the things he had gone crazy with his credit card, he bought a scuba tank.
But that's not all he bought.
Remember, he bought the juicer also.
And he juiced bologna.
We should do –
And at the end, he had juiced bologna in a bag or something like that.
We should do a special episode of Fake Doctors, Real Friends where we do a rewatch
of a What's Happening episode.
Oh man, that'd be great. Or Sanford
and Son.
But I didn't watch Sanford and Son. That was a little bit
earlier in terms of
the time. I didn't watch that as much.
But What's Happening was the sweet
spot for me. I watched every
episode. Remember when Raj was a nude
male model
for people that were
like sketching in a class?
Oh, in the art class.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there was Shirley.
Shirley, yeah.
Shirley and Dee,
the sister.
Dee.
Ooh, Raj.
I'm telling Mama.
I'm going to tell Mama.
Right.
And Mama was amazing.
I forgot the actress's name
who played her.
She was incredible.
Will you find that out
for me, please, Joelle?
What a cast. So if you've never heard of it, I don't know. Go played her. She was incredible. Will you find that out for me, please? What a cast.
So if you've never heard of it, I don't
know. Go on YouTube. Watch a clip. Maybe it won't
translate now because it's
old, but I loved it.
Anyway, so Fred
Berry had
these hilarious dances he would do.
what you see in this episode is this...
So J.D.'s fantasy, you know, this sort of... They tease that it's going to be a threesome because JD says, oh my God, he's looking at Amy Smart and Sarah Chalk together.
And he goes, I can't imagine, uh, seeing these two together.
You can only imagine what I'm thinking and you think it's going to be something sexual.
And it's Amy Smart and Sarah Chalk with Fred Berry in his outfit, in matching outfits, doing his famous rerun dance.
So that was really funny.
And then we cut later to what I imagine your bachelor party is going to be.
And it's all of us dancing.
And a lot of our crew guys are in there,
including Michael Spiller, who directed this episode, is in there.
I saw my stand-in, Scott Rabideau.
Was Deontay in there?
Deontay was definitely
in there
yeah I think
Franklin got better
got better
one of our ADs
a lot of the people
that worked in the
in the film department
or in the lab
you know
editing and stuff like that
they were down there
yeah
so it was a good opportunity
for a lot of people to be
I guess it was all men
because it was supposed to be
the bachelor party
so we all got to do the rerun dance be the bachelor party. So we all got to do
the rerun dance
with Fred Berry,
which was,
which was really cool.
And we all got to wear
the costume too,
which was great also.
Oh man.
With the fedora and everything.
But I mean,
if you had told little Zach
that he was going to
A,
be doing the rerun dance
with rerun one day,
the same week
that Amy Smart
and Lingerie
would mount him,
tears, tears to his young eyes.
Dreams do come true.
All right, we got to go to break.
We got to go to break.
Thank you all for being here.
We love you.
Yeah, we're so excited that we get to do this for you guys, man.
And your appreciation of this show is well received.
We appreciate you 100%.
Yes.
And so on that note,
please listen to some people selling you stuff.

It's like the police knew who he was before they got here.
A story about money, power, and corruption.
The medical school dean at USC was leading a secret double life.
Is she breathing right now?
Yes, she's absolutely breathing.
I'm a doctor, actually.
There's no way that that guy's a doctor.
I'm Paul Pringle, and I'm an investigative reporter for the LA Times.
This is the story of an investigation that starts in a hotel room in Pasadena, California,
and reaches all the way to the top of two of the most powerful institutions in the city of Los Angeles.
When people fall in line, they fall in line.
Looking back, I realized, oh, everyone knew.
This is Fallen Angels, the story of California corruption.

Some shit's fucking up on my computer.
Hold on one second.
Hold on.
Oh, Jesus.
We're just here.
Interrupting the interruptives.

I hope you do a little music for interrupting Bill.
I'm interrupting the interrupting Bill.
Five, six, seven, eight.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Turn that shit off.
So I just wanted to get that over with quick.
I wanted to interrupt the interrupting Bill with 5, 6, 7, 8.
I mean, it's not a well-thought-out one, but now we're back to the other.
Interrupting Bill.
He may have his own theme song.
Welcome back, guys.
I want to start by saying that this podcast isn't for you.
When I first came up with the idea of this podcast and having you guys occasionally host it,
it wasn't so Zach could go to London or Donald could golf with his kids.
It was so week after week you you can provide people with content,
with my podcast for them to listen to.
So I'm glad you're back, but let's not let a week go by like that again.
Today's question is about recurring jokes.
And just so you know, I know you're going to talk a lot about
the thumb pinky scene with Neil Flynn,
and I would hope that you guys would mention innuendo I know you're going to talk a lot about the thumb pinky scene with Neil Flynn.
And I would hope that you guys would mention innuendo because it's one of the classic Todd lines.
But I will ask you right now, if you can figure out what the writing staff's favorite recurring joke was that started in this episode. And to give you one clue,
it is something in the writer's room that we imagined
what that event would be like for quite some time.
I will give you another clue if you can't get it.
What the event would be...
What is he talking about, Tom?
I don't know.
A joke
that started in here was originally in the writer's
room and became... This is the first time we see it
is in 221.
A joke that they laughed a lot
about in the writer's room of what it would be
like. To go to.
Where did we go?
Well, there's the...
The wedding. The wedding at the at the hospital
right any of you listening now are you are you thinking at home what the answer is there's
probably a lot of you screaming at your listening device right now and you know the answer i i don't
know let's hear another clue daniel this is a little cryptic. I'm going to play a little more. Okay, your other clue, if you need it.
If you don't, you can skip this, Dano and Joelle.
Hey, guys, thank you for continuing to come through on my podcast
on a day-to-day, week-to-week basis.
Bye, Bill.
The other clue is it's about Nurse Roberts and her home life.
Oh.
It has to be.
We might have talked about the over-the-ground pool party.
No, it's something she says.
I didn't even write it down, but she says something about her husband
and how he's not allowed to use the oven.
Is his name Lester?
I think her husband's name is Lester.
She's on the phone.
This is what she gets in trouble for because she barks at a patient
who wants a pillow.
And she said something about, Lester, you know I don't want you using the oven when I'm not home.
Let's see what it is.
Let's see what it is.
All right.
Our favorite recurring joke in the writer's room was about Nurse Roberts' above-ground pool party
and how any time it was ever mentioned, it was obviously an all-time off-the-hook party.
I love that the giant shindig was at her house, and I love that it was not a pool party, but it was an above-ground pool party because Nurse Roberts' pool is above ground.
I miss you guys.
I love you.
Welcome back.
We love you too, Bill.
Oh, that's funny.
I got to say.
That is hilarious. welcome back we love you too Bill that's funny I didn't realize that Nurse Roberts
above ground poop party was always like off the hook
I said it though
I said Nurse Roberts
above the ground poop party
you said no no no
you were right I was looking for a deeper cut
but yeah you're right
Nurse Roberts above ground poop party does come up multiple times
throughout the series.
And whenever it does, it's always like shit went down.
It was crazy.
He chokes the shit out of Ted at the party.
Yeah.
And it didn't help.
It did whatever they were arguing about.
And him choking Ted, it didn't help.
So, yeah, that sounds awesome.
I don't think JD and Turk were ever invited to said party.
I don't think they were.
I don't think they were. I don't think they were.
Say it again?
What's the matter?
Tell her to come say hi.
Okay.
Come say hi.
Tell her to come say hi.
We have the exterminator here.
Hi.
Hi, Casey.
Hi.
Put the headphones on her, Donald, so we can talk to her.
I can hear you.
You're so loud.
How are you doing?
I'm good. I'm good. How are you doing? I'm good.
I'm good.
How are you?
Are you bringing the exterminator into this room?
Yes.
Oh, that's going to be exciting.
This is Juan.
Hi, Juan.
Have Juan come say hi.
Hi, Juan.
Hi, everyone.
Hi.
Hey, I think Juan might exterminate my house, too.
No, Juan comes to your house, too.
Oh, hi, Juan.
Tell him it's me.
Hey, Juan. How your house too. Oh, hi, Juan. Tell him it's me. Hey, Juan.
How are you, man?
That's great.
Juan does a great job.
Yeah, we love Juan.
Oh, there you go.

Yeah, we want you on the show more and more.
Oh, yeah?
I started spinning.
I got my Peloton.
I know, but you won't let me know your name so I can follow you.
I know.
Casey wanted to know my username, and I was like, first of all, I suck so bad.
Let me get going a little bit before I start handing out my username and let you know how bad I am.
Yeah, work yourself up because I'm very competitive.
I found a gal I like.
She's a British gal, of course, And her name's Leanne, I think.
And she does a pop one because I like to work out to pop music.
Hell yeah.
And she was good.
She was good.
Okay.
What's the guy's name?
Oh, Cody.
Cody.
That's right.
If you get a chance, do Cody.
That is the business, man.
He might be too hard for me.
He's one of the funniest people I have ever listened to and rode a bike.
I'm going to write that down.
I have to literally, when Donald does the bike,
I have to come upstairs and check to make sure he's actually
riding because he's laughing hysterically
the entire time he's
on the bike. Donald, do you phone that shit in
or do you really go for it? I really
go for it. Casey goes
extremely hard, though. Well, look at her.
Look at her. I mean, Casey, you're a walking ad for
Peloton. Look at her arms.
She's got the guns.
I'm very competitive with the board.
I try to pass people.
I love it.
She tries to get into the hundreds.
I just want to tell the people
at Peloton, if any of you are
listening, that Casey Cobb should literally be
your spokesperson because she has never looked so damn good ever.
Oh, thanks, Zach.
Peloton.
It is.
Peloton, listen.

I was like, you had me at Hello.
You had me at Hello.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, what?
Donald, you got to do it.
There was like a Disney song in there.
Oh, my gosh.
I bet you the Disney song is Let It Go.
You know that's the number one freaking ride in all of life.
No, I think it's an Aladdin one or something Gotta keep one jump
Ahead of the bread line
One skip ahead of the hop
I think I'll take a stroll
Around the block
Donald, you know how you can put on filters?
So you can put on
You can choose what music you want
Anyway, you can choose the teacher
How long you want to go, what level you're at
And the type of music And I put all that in and leanne singing show tunes came up and i was like okay
but i haven't done it yet get me on what's the best musical to work out to like you had to pick
a musical oh it would have to be listen when i was and this is in San Diego, Picasso at the Le Pen Agile, written by Steve Martin,
I listened to La La Land like it was going out of style, dude.
Like it was going out of style.
I know.
When I was working out, City of Stars, are you shining just for me?
But do-do-do-do-do.
Donald used to get on.
City of stars.
Donald went through a period where he would get drunk on a plane
and then start tweeting how pissed he was about the end of La La Land.
She's ungrateful.
She's ungrateful.
That dude did everything
I would just be
I'd be looking at my Twitter
and I'd be like
oh shit

and I bet his tears in his eyes
because he's watched
the end of La La Land
and he's like
it just pissed me off
yeah
it pissed me off
go ahead
do your tirade for the people
do your tirade for the people
for the people
for the people who love La La Land
and is also
pissed off at the end
we have a new segment called things that upset Donald about the end of La La Land.
They broke up, right?
Granted, it was his fault.
He was supposed to be at the show.
He didn't make it.
He was all about himself.
Yes.
But he redeems himself by freaking taking the call from the casting director, driving all the way to Colorado.
Right?
Yeah.
That happens.
Wait, is Boulder?
Boulder City?
No.
Boulder's in Colorado.
You're correct.
Is it?
No, because it was something else.
Is it Denver or Boulder that he goes to?
No, it's Colorado.
They're both in Colorado.
Irrelevant.
He takes a long drive.
He takes a long drive.
And the reason why he knows it
is because it's the house across from the library in this small town that she lives in so he finds
her delivers the message yo look you got an audition for a big casting director this is huge
we know the movie you're going and she's like i'm not And she's like, I'm not going. He's like, well, I'm going back tomorrow.
You can ride with me.
He takes her to said audition.
She auditions for the show.
And that's the best song in the whole movie.
Go ahead.
I disagree.
It's not the best song in the whole movie.
And it's a one-er.
I disagree.
It's a one-er.
And she cries.
Go ahead.
Anyway, she slays the audition.
Emma Stone.
Love her.
Emma Stone gets the part at the end of it
she says to him what's gonna happen between us and he's like well you know we're just gonna
have to see what happens because when you get this part and she's like if i get this part
and he's like so supportive he's like no when you get this part you're gonna have to give it
everything you got because the part takes the part takes her all the way to Paris where she's going to have to live for a year.
They're going to film.
She's going to live there first where they develop it.
Then they're going to film it there.
The part's totally catered to her.
At the end of it, she's going to look like the biggest movie star.
She goes to Paris.
It cuts to five years later.
Go ahead.
to paris it cuts to five years later go ahead she hasn't seen this dude since he told her since they said i love you at the freaking observatory the griffith park observatory where they last where
they last spoke i'm already i'm literally i'm literally getting sad. She accidentally walks into his jazz club, which she thought he would never do because he was such a wild card.
And he even changed the name to the name that she wanted him to change it to.
Walks in, sits in the front fucking row yeah
surprise look who's here and not only am i here not only it right now it's a big movie star that
you used to date that you were in love with that i told you i loved you that you could you know
what if it wasn't for you i wouldn't be where I'm at right now.
But here I am, accidentally, with my husband, who I have now had a kid with, and I've forgotten all about you.
And he takes her on this little journey. part of your drunk airplane La La Land tirades used to be why didn't she fly him over or fly, why didn't she make
an effort to have him in her
life now that she became rich?
As soon as that movie was
done, she should have been like, hey, look
it's over with
let's, what
are you doing with your life? And he
should have been like, oh, he gave her the space
look, someone once told me if you love someone, it's meant to be. If you love someone,
set them free. If they come back, it's meant to be, right? He set her free.
But sadly, what I thought was so beautifully tragic about it is that I thought it was real
life. You can go that deep with someone and then life takes you all the way over
there.
And all of a sudden you're on a different trajectory.
And that's,
what's so heartbreaking about it because when they come together in that jazz
club,
uh,
Damien Chazelle brilliantly takes you on a little daydream of what life could
have been.
That's the most heartbreaking part of the movie.
That's why,
that's why it's so heartbreaking, because at the
end of it, you see, you could
have had all of the stuff that you have now,
and you would have been happy
like you are now, and
it would have been with the guy that
supported you
to get to where you are right now.
But that relationship, Donald, might have been
more confrontational
and mercurial and maybe she
she's not in something maybe as passionate and sexy but she's happy she has peace she has a
she's content she's got a nice husband and a baby and she's got this huge career and i think it's a
debate about like are you going to go with the person that drives you fucking crazy and and
makes you want to pull your hair out but also you have such passion or are you going to go with the person that drives you fucking crazy and makes you want to pull your hair out, but also you have such passion?
Or are you going to choose the life of like, I want to be more zen.
I want to be in a common place.
Well, he turned out.
And that's the other thing, though.
He turned out to be that guy, though, also.
He didn't turn out to be the dude that was a wild card.
He turned out to be the safe bet.
You know what I mean?
He got the club done.
He was very responsible about it all.
He hired a bunch of people. He changed his whole life around for her.
For her. To impress her.
Well, not necessarily. I don't know if it was to impress her, but she showed him
an idea of what he could be. And he said, yo, you know what? I like that idea. And this is somebody
who everybody was trying to be like, yo, look, dude, you're doing this all wrong.
The way you should do it is this way.
And he wasn't open in receiving anybody else's idea
of how they thought he should be,
but he was open to hers.
And he does it, and she comes back and sees it.
You know, when she walked out of that place,
she had to be all confused.
Of course.
Well, she does that.
She does that.
And he had to be all confused too, man. I know this is a scrubs rewatch podcast i'm sorry
this can go on for the whole i would like to change the show till every every week we analyze
no wait listen we're almost done i just want to say this last part she gives that look back in the club that clearly says
oh fuck what what might i don't know i don't know if that's the look back she gives oh well that's
what's up for interpretation in fact my father uh my late great amazing father who loved the movie
very much um thought it was what uh kind of like what might be like like still could happen oh that's what that's
what casey's father says too casey's father's like no she she looks back at him like you know
there's still some magic i'm probably gonna like i'm probably gonna see you and for up soon or or
one day for me what's even more heartbreaking and beautiful about it is it's the period at the end of a sentence.
It's look back like what a time we had and now I'm gone.
And that just fucking breaks my heart.
And he's not reluctant about it.
He's the one that has already let go, obviously.
Like he goes to work every day and her face is plastered on the wall of his jazz club, dude.
Every day he walks by her face as he's walking into his club.
There's a great song called Some Other Time.
It's an old standard, and the lyric is something like,
Oh, well, we'll catch up some other time.
Well, there's another one called I'll See You Next Lifetime by Erykah Badu,
and it's like, I guess I'll see you next lifetime.
Oh, I am such a sucker for that. No. Oh, I am such a sucker for that.
No hard feelings.
I am such a sucker for that.
I really,
I really, really,
really love that movie.
And I don't have any patience
for anyone that doesn't.
So there you go.
You know, I really do love that movie too.
I've had a lot of people
try to convince me otherwise
not to love the movie.
Well, it does feel like,
I feel like whenever a film is super successful,
of course it's going to become polarizing because that's just what happens.
But I, for me, I was so moved by it,
and I just thought the whole thing was so beautiful that I,
for the first time since I was maybe a teenager,
I was like wanting them as human beings to be together
like you know all these teenagers they stand the couples that are in movies together and all that
i felt that i remember feeling legit sad that ryan gosling and emma stone were not together
in real life because i so was invested in them as a couple that's like the notebook yeah
yeah but like after seeing after they really dated after right that's like
that was after you saw the notebook you're like those two got to be together in real life man
there's no way those two ain't really dating i was i was i remember i remember feeling melancholic
that they were that they were not ever going to be together in real life so silly but that's great
art that's great art it gets you all riled up. Go ahead, Daniel. All I was going to add is that I think the value of them not being together is that it
promotes the conversation that we're having right now.
It allows everybody to have kind of different feelings and thoughts about how it goes.
Because no one is going to...
Let's say they get together at the end.
No one is going to watch that movie and say, I think they should have broke up.
I think she should have stuck by and broke up.
The fact that they do, it promotes this kind of what could have happened conversation.
And it's less easy that way.
It shouldn't be just Prince charming gets the princess at the very end.
And I think when you have a story that defies that convention,
you promote a lot more conversation like we're having right now.
It's also a wonderful narrative about timing.
Like this idea that like,
had he been this guy the whole time,
they would have had that wonderful ending,
but they both had to grow as people. And i think they both grew better apart than they were they ever grew
together you're just always at each other's necks and i exactly as beautiful as the gesture of
coming out to colorado was was it enough to make up for the like three three and a half years
there together where it's just chaos and torment oh my God, no. Well, it wasn't mental torment.
They seemed to be having a good time until he went on the road and started becoming a successful musician.
I mean, it's very hard to date a touring musician.
Anyway, my point to the whole thing is I love that movie.
It kind of reminds me of Casablanca in the fact that at the end they go separate.
And for years to come, people will be arguing why they should have stayed together or why it was right for them to be separated.
It's a beautiful device because he's able to – Chazelle is able to have his cake and eat it too.
Because if you make a movie like that, the audience is going to be furious if they don't get together at the end right but then it's less artful because it's like oh it's
just commercial so he's able to have his cake and eat it too he doesn't have them end up together
but shows you the beauty of what it would have been like if the timing was right like joelle i
mean i'm sure everybody listening can think of a someone in their life that passed through that
you think oh my god what might have been if that timing was different?
And I think that's why it tapped into so many people's heart cages.
This all comes from, this all comes from,
how did this conversation begin?
That's what I'm...
I was talking about how you went through a period
where you got on the plane and drunk
tweeted about La La Land. But it was because
we were talking about the
Peloton and how there's the musical
theater and what's the thing that would get you the most time.
Oh yeah, there you go. Which I also have a different answer
for. What's that? Go ahead.
Let's go to that. Wicked. Defying Gravity
and Popular. You get those going
and I will pump for
hours.
Did you say Popular too? Did you say Popular
also? Absolutely. Well, Popular is just one of the
songs in Wicked, but it's just like
that and Defying Gravity. I know what both
of them are. I didn't know
that Daniel was a musical theater head
like us. You know, I had
my days. Popular. You're gonna
be popular. You guys know
Not Thoroughly Modern Millie?
Yes.
Which has like the most upbeat, high kick energy songs.
I saw that once with Sutton Foster.
I have to say something though.
So great.
There's a video that you have to watch if you're listening.
Go look on YouTube.
Kristen Chenoweth playing the Hollywood Bowl, which if you don't know is an enormous outdoor venue in Los Angeles.
And it's probably the coolest place to do a concert.
100%.
And she, I don't know if it's a plant.
And even if it is a plant, I don't care because it's so amazing.
She sings the song from Wicked,
Because I knew you, I haven't changed.
And she says, I can't sing this alone.
I don't have a Dina here.
Can I bring someone up?
And she brings up a woman who's a high school music teacher.
Have you guys seen this video?
Yes, great video.
She's a high school music teacher.
And even if it's a plant, who cares?
She's still a high school music teacher.
And she comes up and she sings with Kristen Chen
and with the Hollywood Bowl
in the most beautiful, holy shit, goosebump way.
My heart.
You have to see it.
It's so moving and beautiful.
It'll be up right after this.
Amazing.
All right, should we go to break and then come back with a guest?
Yes.
They're here and ready to go.
We still have so much more to come back to.
We have.
We have a lot to talk about.
This became a La La Land podcast, but that's not sometimes shit happens.
We love you. We'll be right back. Sometimes that's not sometimes shit happens. We love you.
We'll be right back.
Sometimes it's every day is sun.
We'll be right back.

We started talking about this incident.
Drugs and officials cover up. You couldn't believe it. From iHeart
Podcast. It's like the police knew who he was before they got here. A story about money,
power, and corruption. The medical school dean at USC was leading a secret double life.
Is she breathing right now? Yes, she's absolutely breathing. I'm a doctor, actually.
There's no way that that guy's a doctor.
I'm Paul Pringle,
and I'm an investigative reporter
for the LA Times.
This is the story of an investigation
that starts in a hotel room
in Pasadena, California,
and reaches all the way to the top
of two of the most powerful institutions
in the city of Los Angeles.
When people fall in line,
they fall in line, they fall
in line. Looking back, I realized, oh, everyone knew. This is Fallen Angels, the story of California
corruption. We're always going to have predators. It's the good people who stand by and do nothing
that allow them to flourish. Listen to Fallen Angels, the story of California corruption,
starting March 28th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, sports,
and more from John and the team of correspondents and contributors.
The podcast also has content you can't get anywhere else,
like extended interviews and a roundup of the weekly headlines.

I think about that day.
We're back.
We're back.

I left him at a Greyhound station west of Santa Fe.
Bring the guest in, guys.
We were 17, but he was sweet and it was true.
Matt is on his way.
That guest better like La La Land or they're in trouble.
I'll tell you what, if he doesn't like La La Land, he loves scrubs.
Yeah.
Matt!
It is Matt!
Hey, Matt.
There he is.
Hi, Matt.
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to the program, Matt.
Matt, how do you say your last name?
West Fallon?
West Fallon.
Welcome to the program.
Give it up to Matt West Fallon.
Matt West Fallon getting his standard Oprah introduction from the Donald Faye Rose.
He is in the house.
Matt, I'm going to say from looking at the background of your camera that you like a lot of the same things Donald does.
There looks to be some action figure type action happening back there.
Oh, yeah.
My house is, a friend of ours called it the pop culture palace.
My bedroom is all
like Ready Player One,
some How to Train Your Dragon
and stuff. My
living room is all Kevin
Smith, all BUSQ stuff, a bunch
of posters.
We got another room that's all John Hughes,
Richard Linklater.
Don't you
forget about me.
Hey, that's in this...
I didn't think you were going to throw Gilmore Girls in at the end.
That seems like a turn, Matt.
It is.
My wife,
Kendra, she got into it
late just a couple of years ago
and fell in love and then she's
hooked everybody else and now our kitchen
is Luke's Diner.
Wow. Now she's hooked everybody else and now our kitchen is luke's diner and it's uh it's now she's doing art for a monthly fan box gilmore girls stuff so
wow it's i gotta check out this gilmore girls i've never seen a single episode
neither have i apparently they talk really i know i know that the shtick is that they they like
talk incredibly fast and very wittily like no one else really could in real life.
But that's a convention that they use, right?
Oh, yeah.
But apparently it's great.
It's fantastic.
It was one of those things where she was watching it and getting into it.
And the next thing you know, I'm sitting down and going to start asking questions.
And then she's like, you go to your room and you watch it.
So I don't have to answer all these questions.
Matt, do you watch Cobra Kai?
It's fucking awesome.
It's so good.
You watch Cobra Kai?
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
I actually wrote that down as one of the things to bring up was Cobra Kai.
I love that show. That's all Donald wants to talk about. Cobra Kai. I love that show.
That's all Donald wants to talk about.
That is the Mandalorian season.
I love how wide your tastes span, Donald.
I have to say, because of course we all know
the eye of the storm for you.
But you do span
from Cobra Kai to La La Land
and everything in between.
Dude, I'm eclectic.
Except you don't really watch uh breaking bad but
let's not bring that up because it's a sore subject um man you didn't watch remember the
titans i know but matt i have i have said don't bring up don't bring up past wounds
that's the only movie that i've been in that he's seen i don't even think he's seen clueless before
to be honest no i have seen clueless i have seen clueless and i saw this is fantastic because the lip bite is one of my
favorite things oh you're a sucker for a lip bite man after my team team lip bite oh yeah i put in
requests i i put in requests for lip bites all the time at my house and um sometimes occasionally
matt do you have a question for, for either one of us?
I actually have a question and you all are welcome to answer.
It would be your top five favorite eighties movies.
Ooh, she's five. Wow. In the interest of time,
why don't we say top three? Okay. Donald, go ahead.
Okay. My top five 80s movies.
What year did Boys in the Hood come out?
That's 1990?
Yeah.
I think that's 1990.
92, I think.
Yeah.
91.
Okay, well, then it's definitely Do the Right Thing.
89's the number!
Another summer!
Ugh!
Can't get no double!
Okay, so Do the right thing.
Weird science.
Preach.
Adventures
in babysitting.
Oh.
The Empire Strikes Back.
I was waiting.
And then Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Okay.
All right, Joelle, you want to go?
Oh, I'm going to pick up Raiders and Empire because Avi.
I'm going to...
Oh, I fucked up.
E.T.
E.T. also.
I got to take one of those off.
E.T. is up there too.
Sorry.
No problem.
No problem.
Does Terminator make the cutoff?
I think it does.
Yeah, it does.
Hell yeah.
That's 80s.
I'll say Aliens, even though it's not my favorite version of Alien, the franchise.
It is a solid movie.
And I will end with, oh, I think Witch Meryl Streep is my favorite.
Is it Silkwood? I think Witch Meryl Streep is my favorite.
Is it Silkwood?
Just don't say freaking Bridges over Madison County.
That's later.
That's 90s, I think.
I think Silkwood makes the cutoff.
I'm not sure if that's 70s or 80s, but I love that movie.
Daniel, you don't have to do five.
You can do three.
You touched it.
Man, there's so many good ones in the 80s.
There were a lot of really good movies.
I'm going to steal a couple.
16 Candles, E.T., Karate Kid.
Those are definitely my three favorites. Daniel, you don't watch Cobra Kai?
I'm getting there.
I have a lot of VR stuff.
When you said, now listen, when you guys, when he said 80s movies, I know this is sort of silly, but I kind of went to like the John Hughes, my brain went to the John Hughes world.
I wasn't thinking of like Star Wars, Raiders.
So my first three things that came to my mind, well, two were that oeuvre, which is Real Genius and Weird Science.
And then the last was Beverly Hills Cop, which has got to be 80s, right?
Yeah, but there's so many other ones
that are worthy of this list.
Let me just name a couple that didn't make it.
Don't obey the fucking rules.
Romancing the Stone.
Romancing the Stone didn't make it.
Tootsie.
Tootsie, dude.
Come on, man.
Don't you yell Tootsie at me.
Matt, what are yours, please
Let's limit it to five, Matt
My number one
Which is also my number one favorite movie of all time
Is Big Trouble in Little China
By the way, Matt
Did you notice in Donald's
Last Instagram post
That I was dressed as
Kurt Russell in that movie on Halloween.
I don't know if you noticed that or not.
Yeah, I did.
I got a huge kick out of that.
I freaking loved it.
That was, it was fantastic.
Donald and I went to a Halloween party at Kate Hudson's house, and I had no idea what I was going to be in, but I knew Kurt Russell was going to be there.
So I thought, I'm just going to go big or go,
I'm going to go big or go home.
And,
and that is definitely going big.
Yeah.
Did you talk in like the John Wayne,
like impression?
No,
no,
I,
I didn't do that.
I just had,
I had a pretty darn good outfit on.
Do you know why Matt,
do you know why he didn't do that?
Because he had never seen the movie.
No,
that's bullshit.
Of course I'd seen the movie.
You've seen big trouble in little China. Of course I have. Why do you fucking insult me? Cause? Because he had never seen the movie. No, that's bullshit. Of course I'd seen the movie. You've seen Big Trouble in Little China?
Of course I have.
Why do you fucking insult me?
Because I don't think you see a movie like that, dude.
Movies like that don't seem to float your boat.
There was no music in that movie.
There was no dancing in that movie.
It wasn't West Side Story.
You dishonor me.
This is true.
Daniel, see what he did there? He took your word. I did. I took it. I heard it. I took his what you're talking about, Willis. you dishonor me this is true Daniel
see what he did there
he took your word
I did
I took his
I took his
what you're talking about Willis
he took your
what you're talking about Willis
I took your
what you're talking about Willis
and I repurposed it
I like it
not bad

Megatron turned into a gun.
Yeah, dude.
That's right.
Wouldn't probably be that way in 2020.
No, it would not.
Oh, shit.
He got the Autobots on his arm.
He has a giant Autobots.
Autobots face their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.
What a song. All right. Good one, Matt. What else you got? evil forces of the Decepticons.
What a song.
All right.
Good one, Matt.
What else you got?
Another question for us.
Well, since we talked about Gilmore Girls earlier,
I noticed there was a lot of references to it on Scrubs.
I was wondering if somebody on the writing staff was a fan,
and maybe that's why those got dropped in on occasion.
I think this is a Bill Lawrence question,
because I don't believe Bill really did like Gilmore Girls. No, I don't think it was Bill,
but it is a good time to bring back the Ask Bill segment
we haven't used in a while.
He's going to be mad about it,
but I think this is a good question.
No, listen, let's be blunt.
You think he's going to be mad?
The guy doesn't mind attention.
Bill, Bill, what's the deal with Gilmore Girls?
Why did it come up so much?
Was there someone in particular in the writers' room who was a fan?
Why so much Gilmore Girls talk?
The answer is no, but with explanation.
There was no one that especially loved the Gilmore Girls in our writers' room,
though we all thought it was a good show.
We did think as a writing staff that J.D. and Turk loved the Gilmore Girls because they spoke so fast and they spoke so true.
But what we will tell you is that we decided early on in the writer's room that Turk and J.D.
loved TV. Turk could sing the theme to Sanford and Sons and do his own words.
They both fantasized about doing the rerun dance.
They said, hey, hey, hey, what's happening, Raj?
J.D.'s original fantasy guy was Jimmy Walker from Good Times.
They knew every line to Fletch.
J.D. even had a fantasy with Cheers is the Theme Song about writing about how sitcoms make
you feel better. So they were two guys that loved television and made a thousand television
references. But I bet you I could pick a couple that we did even more often than Gilmore Girls.
We only did Gilmore Girls like five or six. I'm not going to do it. We only did Gilmore Girls like five or six.
I'm not going to do it.
We only did Gilmore Girls a couple times.
But man, they love TV.
Thank you, Bill, for that thoughtful answer
and for not trying to do another five, six, seven, eight.
Oh, he's going to try.
Yeah.
All right, Matt, now it's time for everybody's favorite segment.
People are talking about this from Los Angeles to Timbuktu.
It's time to Fix Your Life!
Yeah, buddy.
All right, go ahead, buddy.
How can we fix your life?
We're ready.
So you guys have kind of already started on that.
I have been since.
Then you're welcome.
You're welcome.
The quickest fun.
Yes, exactly.
Since right before COVID started, I wasn't going anywhere on top of being safe.
But my wife and youngest son are both type 1 diabetics who are very high risk.
So we were super safe and cautious about everything and i started you know
i'm stuck at home i'm working from home um and so i started you know i'm finally trying to lose
some weight and get in shape get that blood pressure down so i started going on on runs
and your guys podcast has been in my ears almost every time i run so i'm down more than 30 pounds so far
turn your key don turn your key it's turned well done oh i want to add war games to my list
speaking of turning the key okay sorry guys so i'm feeling much better but i've gone now um
over 80 days now working out and intermittent fasting.
But this is the longest I've ever gone since my wife was pregnant with my oldest son, who's 17, since I gained sympathy weight when she was, you know, eating with our first child.
And I still hadn't gotten rid of it.
And I always fall off and end up, like, finding an excuse not to work out one day.
And that turns into several days.
The next thing,
you know,
I'm sitting on my ass eating Cheetos,
you know?
So any tips you guys have to stay motivated in a situation like that to not
give up,
to keep going through.
Yes.
Go ahead,
Zach.
It all comes down to the whiteboard that we preach about a lot on the show.
What I do,
and I do this,
I do this every week.
Well, you could do it two ways, multiple ways.
It's kind of reverting back to when you were a kid and your parents would give you a sticker
for doing something positive.
Right.
It's about having a streak.
So what I do is I create a box of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
And it's just simple.
It's not, it doesn't, it's just something, just boxes on a whiteboard.
But when I go to the gym and I do my workout, I go and I give myself a smiley face,
right? Now I do not want a fucking blank in that. I want to keep my street going. It's like the kids
on Snapchat. They keeping their streaks going. I do not want a break in that. And when I do,
when something happens and I don't do it, I feel shitty. And I go and I put a big, big red X.
Now you can do this. Another way I've done this is just print out a printable calendar and buy some cheap stickers off of, um, I've done this by the way, when I wanted to take
alcohol breaks too. Cause sometimes I feel like, you know what? I'm drinking too much. I should be,
and I'll do it with, I'll just get a printable calendar and I'll literally put on, um, stickers
every day I don't drink, or in this case, every day that I work out. And I know
it's silly, but it taps back into the way we felt as kids. And you're like, I don't want to,
are you kidding me? I'm not going to fuck up my sticker today. I want to get my sticker. I want
to get my smiley face. And that really has helped me. Another thing, a very expensive shrink told
me that I'll pass on to you for free is that he said not to let one little dip or one little
failure day set you on a trajectory of going, oh, fuck it. All is lost. Like that's, that's bad.
Like you're going to, if you have a day where you miss something came up or maybe you just said,
fuck it, whatever. Don't let that then crumble the whole thing. Don't let that spin you all out.
Acknowledge it happened and then get back on the horse.
That's great.
I like that a lot.
Donald, do you have anything to add?
That's done well for me so far.
Yeah.
Not missing a day and then being like, you know what?
That was just one.
I'll get back at it.
Yeah.
You know, I struggle with this myself, Matt.
And so what Zach just said, I took to heart. I know how you feel as someone who
struggles with weight loss and gaining weight. My issues are, once I taste it, I got to taste it
again. It's like I'm addicted to it. So yeah, man, as far as doing that, I don't have any
tips other than what zach just said i'm
gonna try them myself you know and i don't think i want to add is that um donald constantly puts
himself in a tricky situation from my perspective by having it in the house if i have a pint of
ben and jerry's in my freezer it's gonna get fucking eaten it's just not it's like it's like
a coke head having coke on his desk it's it's not gonna work so i don't have it in my house now if i'm in a phase where i'm like this is
what this this is by the way i'm not saying i don't indulge this is in a phase where i'm like
like trying to get in shape like you're kicking ass losing weight uh when i'm in a phase of like
okay come on buddy let's fucking get back at it i won't have ben and jerry's in my house i won't
have those things that you can't,
I mean, for Donald, it's like fried chicken. Like I wouldn't have fried chicken in my house.
That'd be crazy. Cause I'd eat it. So you got to put yourself in a position where the only thing
to eat is, is baby carrots and, and GT's kombucha and things that, things that are healthy and not
fatty. You know what I mean? That's the problem though, man. So I said, you know what?
I'm going to take all of those things out of the house.
And I took them all out of the house
and then I learned how to make them.
You know what I mean?
Then don't have the ingredients to make them in your house.
But everything can be made from natural ingredients though, dude.
I can make freaking a cake from flour and sugar, motherfucker.
And everybody needs that. I got kids. I know, but they take more time, dude. It's like, if you're sitting down to make a cake from flour and sugar motherfucker and everybody needs that i know
but they take more time dude it's like it's like but if you're sitting down to make a cake then
you're not really trying come on it's like but if there's a juicy ass cake in your fridge you know
what you're doing it's easier to just grab like in my house we got lots of sugary stuff because my
wife and son are diabetic we have to have stuff so they can get their blood sugar up
so that's always around.
And it's so much easier just to be like, yeah, I'll just, you know, just grab one real quick.
But when you have to really think.
Matt, you're going to think I'm joking, but what if they put that in a cheap safe that
you didn't know the combo to?
Well, I mean, I would say that could work.
However, I'm the one who has everybody's passwords for everything.
I'm sure your wife
and kid.
That would be a hilarious scene, just Matt
in the room with the safe, just trying to break that shit
open.
They actually have a
padlock top for Ben and Jerry's
pints.
It's kind of like a joke because obviously
you could just fucking rip that
thing open,
but,
but they have a,
they,
they sell a,
a padlocked top for a bed and Jerry's.
I know what I would use to break it.
I've got this right here.
Matt just,
Matt just brought a,
I have to tell what's going on.
Matt just raised a giant Thor hammer into frame.
With the okay. I work part time for the Oklahoma city thunder. That's what's going on. Matt just raised a giant Thor hammer into frame.
With the OKC Thunder. I work part-time for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
That's right.
I'm on their hype squad.
Oh, right on.
That's dope.
When you look at the Houston Rockets, when the Houston Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers the way that they did,
how did that make you feel?
Let's be honest.
Matt.
It hurt.
It hurt because.
It hurt when the Houston Rockets lost?
Well, no, no.
It hurt.
It felt good that they lost.
And it felt good to see that the inferior beard went down as opposed to mine.
No doubt.
But it was weird because, like, I've been doing it since 2012,
and this was going to be my last year.
And then because of COVID, like, I couldn't risk it,
didn't know what I was going to be doing.
But when they said we're going to be doing just online, I was like,
I can do that.
I can do that from home.
So I was able to keep extending this season.
Is there a way, Matt, is there a way that we,
is there a way we could see or our listeners could see you in action?
How do we, how does, is there a YouTube of it or anything?
Well, now you can't.
That's why, that's why I say it hurt because they lost.
And now he can't do the pre.
Oh, but I'm just saying,
is there a video of him being a hype man somewhere?
I have videos and I can tweet you guys.
For years, I'm like the fat Thor.
That's funny, but now you're gonna be skinny Thor.
That's the plan and the Thunder is actually
how I became friends with the Rob, the Todd, Rob Macchio.
He's a big NBA fan.
Nice.
And I'm actually rocking one of his old
five five shirts and yeah well we love rob we gotta have rob on the show we keep we keep
darl joelle we got maybe the beginning of we're about to go into season three we got to do rob
uh beginning of season three yeah copy that yeah. I told him I was going to be on
today and he told me, he's like, you got this, you'll crush it. Well, you did crush it. You did
crush it. Not only, not only are you a great guest, Matt, but also I think you're an inspiration to a
lot of people. I mean, I mean, so many people battle weight and it doesn't matter what weight
you're starting at. There's so many people listening.
And I know Donald and I battle wanting to stay healthy. And I think you're a real inspiration
because even during COVID, you said, fuck it, I'm going to get it done. And you did it. And I think
I'm really proud of you. That being said, you're welcome. You're welcome. You're welcome. We just
fixed your life. Thank you.
All right, Dan, give him a thunderous applause.
And Matt, thank you so much for coming on the show.
Are you guys cool if I give a quick shout out real quick?
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay, my younger brother, Justin, is an ER doctor in Denver.
So he's out there fighting the COVID um we keep in touch very often and we have like a group text
between him and my other brothers like keeping each other motivated now we're all trying to lose
weight my brother is jacked he's like just so he's already done but the rest of us have tried
to get on his level so i wanted to give him uh a shout out um for you know i mean being a doctor and doctor and being out there and all this craziness and everything he can to help people and helping me get in shape and the rest of my family.
And I also I have a podcast called Do It Doug.
It's a Kevin Smith fan podcast.
So, you know, I'm not trying to I'm just sorry.
I'm getting a little excited.
I got all this stuff. Matt, we try, I'm not trying to – I'm just – sorry, I'm getting a little excited. I got all this stuff written down.
Matt, we try and limit the guests to two plugs.
You got a shout-out and a plug.
This one is for Donald, a friend named Russ Burnley-Game.
He works at compbook.com.
He is giving Josie and the Pussycats the Shea Serrano treatment
and doing a book on Josie and the Pussycats.
Oh, nice.
That's awesome.
So I told him that I would drop that, but, you know,
hopefully he'll try to reach out and get some interviews with you or
something, but he is working on that as we speak.
Okay.
Okay.
Matt, you are cut off.
You are cut off from shout outs, but you're an awesome guest and stay
healthy and let's keep in touch.
Sounds good.
Can we take a picture
real quick yes go ahead let me get fly for you hold up let me get flying let me get flying
this is a practice because we're doing our group photo today perfect thank you guys so much
thank you daniel thank you all easy feedback what a great guy good work joelle so i have a question yeah when jd accidentally breaks the
glass table realizing that hilarious his relationship with tasty coma wife is probably
at an end yeah he accidentally it's not on purpose that he breaks the glass table but it breaks
and riles her up and it riles her up have you ever been in a relationship like that where you're like, look, I know this isn't going to go anywhere, but I'm not ready to let go yet?
Of course.
Right?
Of course.
Of course.
Right?
How many times can I say of course?
But my question is, what does that do with her then though man if she's if all she's missing is that drama and you provide the drama my whole
problem with it was she had this whole time to have the drama with her husband being in a coma
and everything but she's addicted to it she she needs there to be tension she needs there to be
danger she needs there to be uh an adrenaline rush in order to be turned on.
And in this case, we're kind of joking because it's meant to like it turns her on sexually.
But I think there's plenty of people, male and female, who thrive on there always being conflict or on there always being drama.
I can't stand those type of people.
Oh, it's horrible.
I can't be around that type of person, man.
It's horrible.
Like, I always wonder, how did these motherfuckers get into this loud-ass argument right here?
Like, you know what I mean? Like, why do you think that all of us in this area want to be a part of what you guys are fighting about?
You know what I mean?
You're saying it like it's never happened to you.
You've never been in a relationship
where the person was causing so much conflict
and you're just like, really?
Why does there need to be all this fucking drama?
I've gotten out of those types of relationships.
Right, well, so does JD.
That's the relationship that you get out of right away.
If you go out with someone-
Well, you sometimes endure it
because they look particularly good.
I see this shit on Worldstar because they look i see this shit on
world star i've been seeing this shit on all these things where the dude takes the young lady out or
the young lady takes the dude out whatever it is and one of them loses their shit so much that
violence or yelling or water being thrown or glass breaking or something like that happens. And the other person still leaves with that,
with the person.
Get the fuck out of here.
I don't want to be with you.
Yeah.
You got to be out your mind.
You got,
if I'm at a restaurant and you get loud at the restaurant and start yelling at
me at the restaurant so everybody can hear and you do a show in front of all these people
and then expect me to take you home or get in the car with you,
you're out of your motherfucking mind.
You've got to be crazy.
You're crazy.
I don't even want to say crazy because that's not even the right word.
There's no way that's happening.
In the words of George Bush Jr., there's no way that's happening. There's no way. In the words of George Bush Jr.,
there's no way that's happening.
You can't fool me twice.
There it is.
I thought it was funny when,
so JD's trying to like get all these dramatic moments going
because it turns Tasty Cumberwife on.
And the one that made me laugh the most,
he goes, he throws his salad
because I don't want salad.
That's why. That's why.
That's funny.
And then he's trying to get in fights at the bar.
He tries to get in fights with the little guy,
and then it turns out that it's the big guy.
He's like, no, no, it was him.
No, no, it was the little guy.
Oh, man.
But it worked.
That's when she does her double finger almost nipple lick.
Or nipple rub, whichever one you...
Yeah, don't you see?
If you go back and watch it, that's what she was about to do.
She's like this, and then she's like, that's not appropriate.
I'll do that.
I love that they kept that in.
That was funny.
Innuendo, we have to talk about it because Bill requested in. That was funny. Innuendo.
We have to talk about it because Bill requested it.
Bill requested it.
A classic.
Double Entronda.
Classic Innuendo.
Innuendo.
They replaced Don't You Forget About Me from Simple Minds in the one I saw.
Was yours replaced?
Wait, hold up.
They replaced Don't Forget About Me?
The song is by the band Simple Minds and from Breakfast Club when he puts his fist in the air.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
That's the one.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Don't you forget about me.
Anyway, in my iTunes one, it had been changed.
Oh, I didn't know the difference, actually.
You didn't notice the song was gone?
You watch on Hulu, right?
Yeah.
Oh, maybe on Hulu it's still there. I don't know. It might not be, but I didn't know notice the song was gone or I didn't know you watch on Hulu, right? Yeah. Oh, maybe on Hulu.
It's still there.
I don't know.
It might not be, but I didn't know what the song was originally.
It was no, no, it did.
It was.
Don't you forget about me?
And now I had some other song.
It wasn't that.
OK.
Oh, how about I convince Elliot that slut is a slut and she says it to a Loma and a Loma goes, what now? What now?
hey slut and she says it to a loma and a loma goes what now what now but the fact that that's what i like that i also like that that's one of the things that you use
to get uh tasty coma wife to uh sleep with you uh you turn elliot into uh one of her reasons for
being jealous of one of her reasons yeah for conflict trauma. Yeah. You know what I mean?
And Elliot plays along.
She slaps me in the cafeteria to play along.
Yeah.
By the way, Elliot feels no jealousy at all. I mean, for someone who's going to, who are going to eventually end up together, it's
just, it was just interesting that the character is totally fine.
She's just not affected by JD being in this relationship with this beautiful
woman at all.
Well, yeah, you know, they don't show her being jealous.
I imagine that.
I like to think that Elliot was jealous this whole time.
Well, she plays it really well for, for, for someone who's, you know,
Like did, did,
did Ross know that Rachel was jealous when he got with Emily?
You know what I mean?
Like shit like that.
Like, is it easy to see those type of things?
We're going on a ride.
For the most part, you're telling the story.
JD's telling the story of Scrubs.
And so we're pretty much seeing what his mind sees.
You know what I mean?
Oh, so you're saying, but you're not saying like the story itself is skewed to JD's perspective.
But the most part,
I think for the most part,
it is.
I mean,
the storytelling is,
but you're not saying like,
I mean,
you're not saying like,
Oh,
we're seeing Elliot be unaffected because the stories from JD's perspective and she's unaffected.
Well,
I think that's a better way.
No,
I don't think that.
I don't think that at all.
Yeah.
I don't either.
I do believe personally that Elliot is affected by all of this, and it'll come out later on in the future when she talks about it.
She'll make the effort to talk about it.
You know what I mean?
What's going on up there, Joelle?
You're playing with the mug?
The gifts I got for my friends came.
Oh, nice.
They're cocoa mugs from Disney, Pixar.
And when you pour
a hot liquid in it,
it changes colors.
Oh, my God.
That's what we want.
That's what we want.
I know.
It's super cute.
We're going to figure it out.
I'm going to,
because I want this for you guys, too.
We want that.
I want it to be me and Donald.
And then when you put
a hot beverage in,
it turns to you guys.
I think we have to do
one on each side,
and then it'll go
from black and white to color.
I think that's how we have to do it.
That's how this cup works.
I just felt like when we were talking to the merch guys,
they were like, oh, those are going to be expensive
and no one's going to want to buy them
because by the time you manufacture them,
I don't buy them.
Well, we got a lot of merch coming, by the way.
Speaking of merch, a lot of funny stuff in the pipeline.
Just in time for Christmas,
you're going to get some really cool things.
We're not going to give it away.
Okay, we're not going to give it away?
Okay. No. And so if you go on our thing and you're like
because we have t-shirts now and other stuff and if you're like oh this is boring it's just their
faces don't worry we just want to open the store we got some funny shit coming we should tell them
where to find that too yes how do i find it so well uh that's a good question let me pull up
from harper who helps us with all of this stuff.
Yes. She sent us an email address.
Harper's a woman?
Yeah.
I always thought Harper was a man.
Because she conducts herself like business.
No, no.
I thought Harper was one of those names that could be either or.
I think it is.
I think it's unisex.
I think you can use it or whatever.
Yeah, sure.
All right, what's the address?
Where is this link?
Ugh, there are a thousand emails.
You know what, guys?
Here's what I'll do.
I'll put it in our show notes, okay?
Okay.
So that way you guys can find it.
It'll be in our show notes.
And Donald and I will tweet out about it or something.
Should we take our class picture now while we're still live on the air?
Now, I think bring your faces kind of close like this so we can get, you know.
Donald, come closer.
God, you look good.
I love you on Westworld.
