Starting point is 00:02:38 that you guys had a, your Star Wars pilot was very well received I heard on the interwebs. Oh my goodness. The messages! Instagram DMs were such a delight the past couple of days. Like, so wonderful. And then of course our friends who run the Fake Doctors
Starting point is 00:02:54 Real Friends Instagram found this amazing artwork, and I talked to the artist this morning. He's really cool. We may work some things out. Oh, the drawing someone did of you and Donald? Yeah, yeah. They made me a sofa and Donald Han, and it was so awesome. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:03:10 What? Yes. It's on my IG stories. I like to think of myself as Donald Calrissian, but hey, whatever. We can talk. We can make a gesture. I'm sure the artist could make you Donald Calrissian if you want. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:03:20 You can always draw me looking like Han Solo, but just put the name Calrissian on the back. Put some respect on that name. You know what I'm saying? Throw some respect on it. I'm excited for the prospect of you guys doing this. I think that there's a big demand out there. There are so many people like you two who could just sit and talk about Star Wars all day long. We did want to reassure the Fake Doctor, Chew friends listeners, this is not going to be
Starting point is 00:03:45 the space where we do the Star Wars podcast. I was worried that some people might be like, here it goes, now it's all Star Wars. If you're not a Star Wars fan, we still love you. It's most definitely not. I can assure you, this is going to stay what this is and these two might have a little side hustle. And Daniel, maybe you and I should start a little
Starting point is 00:04:01 side hustle podcast. Oh, I'm into that. We have to find out what you and I are. You guys should start a podcast called You Honor Me. No, I actually was falling asleep last night, and I was thinking about being happy for YouTube. Of course, a little jealous because that's my human nature. But then I was like, well, what can Daniel and I do? Like, where's our Venn diagram of overlapping interests?
Starting point is 00:04:26 And I thought it might be like, I mean, we're not going to do this, but I thought I was thinking like we could talk about gadgets. We both love electronics and gadgets. I, I love that idea. Yeah.

I don't know if I'm at the Listen man, you told me to do something And I did it today because You know what, it's time Did you get on the Peloton? I Pelotoned today man
Starting point is 00:05:14 I Pelotoned like you wouldn't believe man And I did it for 20 minutes And I did Cody And I did his Black girl group ride. Oh, that sounds right up your alley. Let me just put it this way. You know what song was on there?
Starting point is 00:05:34 What? Your favorite. Where my girls at? From the front to the back. Are you feeling that? Throw it one hand up and repeat that. Trying to take my man. Yo, I don't need that.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Trying to play yourself with my girl. Where my girl's at? One and I'm feeling that. Where my girl's at? Right? He played that one. And he finished with, this is when I was like, Cody, you read, you just made my day. But not only did he read my day, but he also turned me out, man, because I was so tired.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Like, I'm in the shower rinsing off to do the podcast and, like, standing. You remember at the end of Rocky IV after he just went through the battle with Ivan Drago? Yeah. And he's standing in the shower and he realizes I got brain damage, called the doctor? Yeah. That's how I felt after the ride with Cody today. It's only 20 minutes. I was like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:06:24 How long did it be? that's how I felt after the ride with Cody today it's only 20 minutes oh my god it's 20 minutes it's going to be a lot more difficult I broke my toe I'm 6 weeks out of my toe break and so I have to tiptoe for lack of a better term back so I'm doing back to the basics
Starting point is 00:06:42 but I encourage everyone listen if you're listening, I encourage you to join us on healthy January. You don't have to have a Peloton bike. You can literally walk around your block. But I encourage you to join us. Get some movement. Get some movement because I'm sure you all did.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Not that way. I'm sure you all did what we did in December and just let it all go. But it's January now, new year. We all, with all that's going on with COVID, you know, I think of working out most importantly for my mental health. If you're not someone who's done a lot of cardio in your life, I'm telling you that if you do 30 minutes of it and get your heart rate up, you feel so good. And don't be intimidated by going, oh, I don't have a fucking Peloton bike, Zach, or I can't run. Anyone can put on music, put on a podcast, and walk. And I encourage you to join us. Right, guys?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Absolutely. So the last song that he played was, I need love, love. Don't come easy. No, you got to sing. That one? You can't hurry, love. No, you just have to wait.
Starting point is 00:08:10 She said love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. You can't hurry, love. No, you just have to wait. Dude. Great. That was the outro yeah i can't what is the reason i you just made me realize what is the reason in the in the lyricist's mind that you can't hurry love why do
Starting point is 00:08:33 you have to wait because it doesn't come easy it's a game of give and take so if you're not ready to play the game of love you know you gotta wait dude but what happens when you're in love and you're excited and you don't you just want to sprint towards it with your arms open you don't want to wait okay there's two things you don't play you don't play like this song there's two things i understand but there's two things in life you don't play you don't play love and you don't play boxing okay those are two things you do not play period you don't waste somebody's time and you don't get your ass kicked for being a dumb ass by playing boxing don't play boxing y'all some people learn the hard way you don't play just because you in a boxing class learning how to do all of that tie bullshit and
Starting point is 00:09:19 all that stuff don't mean you gonna kick somebody's ass man don't play boxing that shit is real life a fight is a fight is a fight anyway so and you don't and you don't play that game don't play with love it's funny i've heard that song a million times but i'm just analyzing the lyrics you can't hurry love you just have to wait love don't come easy it's a game of give and take is that the lyric yeah well so look if somebody if you love somebody right go ahead and you want to take it to the next level you can't just say let's take it to the next level it has to gradually get there on its own meaning you can't rush i just feel like if love is happening with both people it's and let it happen then you gotta let it then you have to let it happen but why am i taking i'm just why when you're especially in the new love i just
Starting point is 00:10:09 want to give i don't want to i don't want to i don't want to modulate my love i want to take a lot of love too when i'm when i'm first in love not only do i want to give love but i want to take love too shit that shit is good love is good when you receive it. Yeah. It's good to give, but it's good to, oh, my God. Speaking of snuggles, Joelle, how is the dating thing going? We really, now that it's a new year, Joelle. We dropped the ball. Joelle, I feel like new year, new you. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Sure. Listeners will recall that you said you were open to finding love. And I just wanted to know where that was at. If there's anything Donald and I can do to set in motion you finding true love. I'm moving. Yay. I feel like, Zach, you're such like a true, like, I don't like this phrase, hopeless romantic,
Starting point is 00:11:03 because I feel like that's not accurate. But you just want, like want everyone to be in love. You love love. I love love. I love that about you, man. It's beautiful. I have to get out of this living room and into a house. Well, when's that happening?
Starting point is 00:11:19 You and your brother found a new spot, right? Oh, it's a townhouse. Yes, and it's three stories. And I have a balcony. And it's so prettyhouse yes and it's three stories and i have a balcony and it's so pretty and you're gonna get a puppy apparently oh we are getting a freaking puppy i don't think i have to bribe or like i don't know i'll pray to different gods like whatever we need to do uh i tell you you know i i always i i uh i follow the labelle foundation which is a rescue organization where we rescued Billy from.
Starting point is 00:11:46 And I'm always DMing Joelle pictures of cute puppies. They make me cry. And Joelle's like, Joelle, amongst my other friends, too, I do that, too. They're like, Zach, we follow Labelle Foundation. We get it. But I'm still like, I don't care. Look at this one. Zoom in.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Zoom in on the eyes. They're all beautiful. And I can't wait to give one a home. We move in two weeks over the three-day weekend oh i think i see some boxes actually in the background of your zoom different states yes having a room is going to be just the best so once i have like my own bedroom uh then we can i feel like dating situation i feel feel like you're, you, you,
Starting point is 00:12:25 you don't, you, you and your brother are sharing a one bedroom right now. We have a two bedroom apartment. I, uh, fell on some really hard times and needed a place to live like a year and a half ago.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And so my brother and his best friend, Andrew, like they were like, we opened the house to you. And so I've been sleeping on their couch for like a year and a half. But now you guys are getting a house. You've had such a delicious turnaround. It's been a crazy journey.
Starting point is 00:12:51 If you fell on hard times and had to sleep on a couch, now you have all these exciting things happening with your career. And I'm just so excited for you. I think 2021 is just – First of all, you in my in my opinion right you have one of the best star wars podcasts in the history of star wars podcast like straight up like straight up dude like straight up that shit was so joelle it was so much fun it was so much fun and it was so much fun to re-listen to it also i'm gonna be honest
Starting point is 00:13:23 with you and then it was also so much fun to hear the response from all the fans out there. They loved it. Talking about you and I and our chemistry together. That felt so good. It did. Because I know your passion for the movie. And you know my passion for the movies and genre and everything like that. I was nervous.
Starting point is 00:13:38 We didn't talk about it. But I was really nervous about putting it out. I was like hemming and hawing. And we had talked about putting it out on Christmas. And then I was like, Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I was just so, and then we finally released it and yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:48 to get like such a positive response from everybody. I just want to say, I, I, I didn't know that you fell on hard times a year and a half ago. And I am so thrilled for you that in this awful time for the earth, you are, are,
Starting point is 00:14:03 are, are catching your stride and you're, you've got a lot of cool projects going on and you just, you're, you're so talented and people love you. They, our fans are crazy about you. And so when you, when you did that one little host thing, there were so many comments about like, oh my God, Joelle needs her own show. Oh my God. So I just think the sky's the limit for you this year joelle i think you're gonna accomplish so many things and i know you're also a writer and you aspire to uh to do lots of different forms of writing and i hope that all that happens for
Starting point is 00:14:36 you this year oh it's gonna you know that's what the energy is all behind and i feel like i feel like i do want to like date casually but I feel like I don't want to wait in pandemic it feels weird to just be like yeah I don't foresee this going anywhere I'm just trying to like meet and talk to people and it's I like casual dating sounds great you could just have a fun person to DM maybe I'll look for
Starting point is 00:14:58 I'll look for someone like that from a married man I love my wife and I know she loves me and we have a wonderful thing going but casual dating sounds like so much fun. Well, we're going to live vicariously through Joelle, Don. Notes taken. Notes taken. So if that's what you're going to sponsor us because I have lots of ideas for dating app segments called
Starting point is 00:15:26 Joelle Finds True Love. That's the rough title. I really do want to report that. The title should be Sorry, Joelle, to cut you off, but the title should be Joelle Found a House Now She's Ready to Mingle. No.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Now She's Ready for a House. That's like the mingle. No, no, no, no, no, no. Now she's ready for a house. That's like the tagline. Wow. We just finished Jingle Jingle. Now it's time for Joelle to mingle. Boom. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Right? But we can get Charlie Puth to write a little theme song for the segment. Please get Charlie Puth to write a theme song about me trying to find love. We will. I want that more than anything. Listen, Charlie and I, we text, and he's very happy the theme song is so well received. So I think if I go to him and say, look, I know that you're on fuego, but I need a little jingle for Joelle's jingle jingle. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I would die. That would be amazing. It would be something special to hear Charlie Puth do something like, you know, You made it through and you finished your hustle. Call Joelle up. She just wants to tussle. No. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Ooh. Ooh. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. That's funny. I like that. That's funny. Donald and I could riff all day on Joelle dating segment theme song. No, it's a casual dating segment. They can't catch feelings. It's a casual dating segment.
Starting point is 00:17:01 That's bullshit. If one person, anybody who goes on a date with joelle is going to catch feelings well then they're going to have to worry they're going to have to worry about that because my girl's not ready to do that yet you know i'm saying both of you being very auntie right now i also feel like joelle one thing about being fluid that's the correct way to phrase it yeah is that you got it you get to throw a wider net. That is the bonus of bisexuality. It's just all over. Yes, by the way, I feel like that could be one of Charlie's lyrics.
Starting point is 00:17:29 This bonus of bisexuality. I catch a, I throw a wide net. Oh, God. Word. That's great. I don't care if it's a penis or vagina. I don't know what rhymes with vagina what rhymes with vagina Donald all I know is when we
Starting point is 00:17:53 do it I'm getting behind her no it doesn't work vagina is a hard word to rhyme try rhyming vagina listener it's hard. That's Larry. I'm just trying to get off kinda. Oh, I got it.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And that's why I'm gonna get mer-r-i-n-g-e-r. What's merIRINJA? It's made of a MIRINJA! When I put my face in, I'm going to GRINDER! Yeah, GRINDER's good, or
Starting point is 00:18:38 if you're trying to get laid, if you're trying to get laid, then I am trying to find you! Hit me up on that grinder. I don't fuck with any of that shit like grinder. But I like penis and also vagina. Vagina and penis. I mean this.
Starting point is 00:19:03 vagina and penis. I mean this. Penis might be easier to rhyme. We might have to end it with that. All right. All right. All right. Five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made
Starting point is 00:19:20 About a bunch of doctors and nurses And a janitor who loved me I said, he's got stories That we all should know So gather round to hear our Gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch show with Zach and Donald Donald, you did the perfect thing.
Starting point is 00:19:43 There's always, when there's an improv group, there's always the guy in the improv comedy theater that's job is to know when to do the blackout on the improv segment. You guys just stop now. You went out on a laugh, blackout. And Donald, you 5, 6, 7 dated the right blackout moment. There was no more. Of that try to rhyme penis and vagina segment. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So his story, guys, it's Donald's turn to narrate. Scrubs. It was. Can I just say one thing really quick? Yeah. We talked about this weekend, and we haven't seen each other. I want to highlight something that's really been awesome to me.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I know last week I talked about, or last episode I talked about Gravitrax. This week. Now, I've been going to this place for a long time, but it's so delicious. And I know of it because Trevor Ferris
Starting point is 00:20:44 and his wife Kelly Ferris, his wife, Kelly Ferris, his wife and my wife are very friendly. And he once did a pizza night at a friend of ours house where he came and he made pizza for all of us. And it was delicious. And he has this place, and I'm sure if you live in Californiaifornia you've heard of it it's called hank's bagels it is so good if you are a bagel eater and you love to eat bagels yes go on hank's bagels is a spot it's usually sold out the spot in burbank is it a chain or no it's just in burbank it's just in burbank oh so if you say there's a spot opening up in Studio City that – January 19th. Or you can go to hanksbagels.com.
Starting point is 00:21:30 When I tell you these bagels are delicious, I want him to do a pizza bagel. That's how good the pizza was. If you can imagine how good – I don't – how important crust is to pizza. Yes. And he made pizza for us, and it was like the type of – where you were just like devouring it. Now, it seems like you're implying that it was better than Florence's pizzas that she made for you, which were – No disrespect to your girlfriend. No, I just – I'm starting to infer that you're saying it was better than Florence's.
Starting point is 00:21:59 No disrespect to your girlfriend. Yeah. I love Florence, and I love her – She's not a professional. I love her pizza. this dude's a professional chef he's you know he's been doing this for a really long time yeah and when i tell you if you haven't tried hank spagels yet zach all right i promise you i will buy i will get i will go and i will buy it for you are you saying it because i'm jewish well that's part of it part
Starting point is 00:22:21 of it's like you haven't tried hank spagels yet well i haven't but i will that's part of it. Part of it's like, you haven't tried Hank's bagels yet? Really? I haven't, but I will. That's like my grandmother when I was a kid, and I would be at the house, and she'd be like, you want bread with the food? And I'd be like, no, I'm good, Grandma. And she'd be like, you don't want no bread with that? Like, it just couldn't – I didn't understand it. That's how I am with you with bagels, man. I just don't understand it. How are you not eating bagels? Well, I don't eat much gluten.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I try not to eat gluten. And I don't have celiac or anything. I just feel better all around, I don't eat much gluten. I try not to eat gluten and I don't have celiac or anything. I just feel better all around when I don't have gluten in my body. I noticed that. I thought I had celiac because I have really bad acid reflux. And I once read a thing on celiac and I was like, oh, I've had that. Oh, I have that. Oh, I have that. I was convinced I had it. I got tested. I don't have it. But I did notice that when I don't eat gluten, I feel better. Of course, I cheat like hell because I'll just say I'll suffer the acid reflux because that pizza looks so good or that bagel looks so good. I will buy it for you, as a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:23:13 You won't have to buy it. I will go and buy you a baker's dozen. They are delicious. By the way, I got your Christmas present is belated, but I have to tell you it's pretty dope. And the one only hint I'm going to give you is that the reason it's late is because I bought it on StockX. Oh. I think I. You know what StockX is, Donald? Yeah, I know what StockX is.
Starting point is 00:23:40 All right. So just the only hint you're going to get is StockX, it has to first go to get verified before it comes to you. So it's currently being verified for its authenticity. I can't wait. I can't wait. I love giving presents. I love it. I can't.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I can't. I love giving presents. You know what's crazy, though, is that you got it off of StockX and stuff. You know what's crazy, though, is that you got it off of StockX and stuff, so now these sneakers that you bought me are going to immediately go right to the closet and just sit there for the rest of their lives. No, you're going to rock them. First of all, you don't know their sneakers. StockX verifies other things.
Starting point is 00:24:14 What else does StockX verify? They don't verify. Everything. No, they verify everything. Literally everything. Yo, they got the Millennium Falcon on there. I mean, I'm sure they're collectible. By the way, bought i bought these i
Starting point is 00:24:26 bought these off-white nike off-whites and i didn't get them off stock x and they i like nike off-whites they're like deconstructed they're super dope and my girlfriend was cracking up she's like there's first of all those are fugly second of all there's no way they're real look at them that thing's coming off and that and i was like this was pre-pandemic and i was like about i in new york we live near um uh flight club uh the sneaker shop and i was like she's like i want to go with you when you bring them in to see if they're real because i'm gonna laugh so hard if you paid all that money for those and they're fake and um i didn't ever go in because i was worried i i was scared i was scared I had been duped.
Starting point is 00:25:06 But it's funny because Off-White's the whole thing, this style of Off-White was, Nikes were like meant to be deconstructed looking. They were meant to look a little. And so she was laughing and I'm like, A, I can't believe you bought those for that much money. B, please let's go to Flight Club because I think they have to be fake.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Which ones were they? Can I ask? Yeah, I don't know the name of them, but they were like, I forgot the exact one, but they were the mega deconstructed one. Prestos, maybe? Yes, Nike Prestos. Those are the ones that also look the most fucked up. And they have an orange. The swoosh was orange.
Starting point is 00:25:40 And the sneaker, the laces were orange. The red tag. Yes. They're dope. They're very dope there's something anyway the point is donald i didn't want to put you through that so i went through stock x i appreciate your i appreciate your uh due diligence and i mean it's really hard to tell fakes they've gotten so good at these fakes so why does it matter if it's fake or real then that's a very good question that's a very good
Starting point is 00:26:05 question but it's a thing that's a that's a very good question i think it's just that if you're going to spend a lot of money on a limited edition thing you want it to be the real thing but what if you didn't spend a lot of money and it looks like that's fine yeah i totally i mean i mean that's like whether you want to support. I mean, who cares? Yeah, go ahead. Go for it. I mean, let's just keep it 100 with everybody. You know, sneakers don't cost a lot of money to make,
Starting point is 00:26:34 but they're sold at such a high price. You know what I mean? They cost less than dollars to make some sneakers. Listen, if you buy fake sneakers, no one is fucking examining your sneakers. I just hope for you and for anyone that you're not ripped off. I don't give a fuck. If you buy fake shoes buy fake sneakers, no one is fucking examining your sneakers. I just hope for you and for fake shoes. I don't give a fuck. If you buy fake shoes, fake sneakers, if it keeps your feet warm or it keeps your feet protected.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Good for you, man. I'm glad you got. I don't give a fuck if you like found found fakes on purpose and they're cheap. I don't know. I could give two shits.

All right. Are you ready for your recap?
Starting point is 00:31:36 Wait, let me get the timer out for Graph Guy. One second. I haven't seen an update on the graph in some time. Joelle, check in on the graph. And go. Oh, snap. Your man on the graph in some time. Joel, check in on the graph. And go. Oh, snap. Your man got the VO for this episode. Turk's all in his head about his upcoming nuptials.
Starting point is 00:31:53 JD needs a break from it all. Elliot misses Sean so much it hurts sometimes. And Cox is looking for an ally in an ongoing battle with the evil Dr. Kelso. Just when you think you know someone is usually when they give you cause to cast doubt. That's not always a bad thing. Sometimes that good thing you need from a friend is just a simple shift in perspective. That being said, do you really want to always know what to expect from someone? Seems a bit boring. to expect from someone seems a bit boring.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Well, good work. I don't, I want to know that. First of all, Elliot's a hoe. No, no. Elliot, I think. A bad friend at the very least. I think. No, first of all, come on. I think, hold on.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I think right then and there, I think right then and there, Elliot realized she wants to be with JD for the rest of her life. But it's not time yet. And that's why when Sean comes, she's so easily able to jump back into it. She literally finishes having sex with him and then her boyfriend literally
Starting point is 00:33:00 walks in the door and then he swoops her up bridal style and she shrugs at the guy that she already had like it's not like oh we're just gonna sleep like we're but we they weren't even like sex buddies they're like in an actual relationship well first of all remind remember she's together joelle she's cheating on him she's cheating on her boyfriend with her old boyfriend joelle's right the semen on the sheets isn't even dry yet it's not oh my god because you know they didn't use no condoms they definitely didn't use a condom they definitely didn't use a condom
Starting point is 00:33:32 and then joelle's right sean shows up and it's not she doesn't even give jd a face like oh my god holy shit she she's in his arms smiling and waving as he carries her away. That's so fucked up. Hold on. Hold on. First of all, there's a lot of things that are fucked up with this situation. First of all, you knocked and then you opened the door. Nobody said come in, first of all, Sean.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Nobody said come in. One. Two, how did you know to find her at freaking JD's house, huh? Right, right right she's not at this she's not at home she must be at jd's what about the motherfucking hospital sean also bullshit happened there that was some bullshit also elliot is the whole situation was bulls elliot in in maybe even in the car is gonna have sex with sean i mean they were about they were you know she hasn't he said yo my god you switched to front seas, which means he's already been taken off his shirt.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Maybe they're going to fuck in the hallway. This has to be a fantasy of JD's. This is going to cut to a fantasy of JD's next episode. No, this is real, bro. This is real. I don't know. I just feel like. Listen, I don't.
Starting point is 00:34:39 You can be, one can be as promiscuous as you want to be. That's your right. If you're going to have two different peeps in you in one day or asuous as you want to be uh that's your right uh if you're gonna have two different peeps in you in one day or as many as you want i just think it's pretty fucked up that she a cheats on her boyfriend then um she knows that jd has feelings for her then when sean shows up she's Peace. Later. I think that JD knows it too. Deep down inside at this point. Well, as a, as a, as a, okay. How about this?
Starting point is 00:35:13 Hindsight being 2020 and knowing how the whole thing ends. This is a pivotal point in their relationship. This is the point I feel like Elliot knows. Okay. Sean's my boyfriend and i enjoy spending time with him but this guy does a little bit more for me than any man will and i'm going to spend the rest of my life with him but not right now it's too soon or or i'm having so much fun it's fucking scott foley look how hot he is um don't worry jd i'm
Starting point is 00:35:44 gonna settle down with you I know you love me more than any woman in the world. But in the meantime, Scott Foley wants to fuck me in the hallway. She already gave you some. He's getting sloppy seconds. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:35:56 What if he goes down on her and semen just falls out on his face? And it's mine. Best day ever. This is what I dream about is that too much i don't know we might have to cut that i dream i dream that this happens on television shows just so i could be like best day ever best day ever oh my i'm sorry you can't beat that you can't beat that. You can't beat that. You can't beat that visual ever.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Ever. I'm sorry. America, rest of Earth, I'm sorry. But it did cross my mind. So wait a second. You think JD is that insensitive also? You think JD was like, I'm going to put a baby in her too. Not only.
Starting point is 00:36:43 No, in my imagination they probably didn't use protection and jd i'm sure probably pulled out he wasn't trying he's a doctor he's intelligent he's not trying so therefore your your little statement about semen falling on his face well what if there's a world where he knows she's on the pill they're former lovers uh it in the heat of the moment it just happens and there's you know as as they just had sex and all of a sudden the door knocks if sean starts going down on her in the hallway there could be a little splash zone daniel do we have to cut this you know it's rated explicit for a reason all right we're explicit they come for this let's be real listen
Starting point is 00:37:32 if you're in your minivan if you're in your minivan and the kids are in the back seat i'm sorry sorry you have a lot of terms to explain yes but we warned you not to listen in the minivan with the kids in the backseat. Dude, you just called it a splash zone. I was laughing. I was working out listening to our podcast, the one that came out today, to listen back to see if I had any notes. And I'm just cracking up. And Florence is like, it was kind of embarrassing because Florence is like, what are you listening to?
Starting point is 00:38:02 And I had to be like, my podcast. And I'm just sitting there in the gym doing crunches cracking up at us. At least we find it funny. Right. Well, look, if we don't laugh, shit. What are we doing? What are we doing? It's funny to us.
Starting point is 00:38:22 All right. So give me – all right. Now listen. I have a lot to say on this episode it's yeah in some your your performance is great you did a very funny job and and i think it's a very funny episode and you're particularly funny in it um there are a couple of weird ass things now one thing i remember trivia wise is i had just gotten back from sundance and sold uh garden state and had a huge momentous career, life-changing moment. Bill, who was always worried that my head was going to get too big,
Starting point is 00:38:51 decided that the very first scene that I would be shooting would be in full clown makeup getting sprayed with a seltzer bottle. It's actually really funny, though, man. No, it's funny, but I remember he even joked about it openly. He's like, oh, yeah, how was Sundance? I heard it went really well. Okay, first scene up, you're in a clown suit, and Janner's spraying you with seltzer.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Humbu pie. Take a bite. No, so it's great. Now, you had said in the last podcast, Donald, that you thought I didn't appreciate a nice big booty, and there's this random moment that opens up the show that JD sees a woman with giant breasts
Starting point is 00:39:29 he appreciates them she turns around she's got what I what 45 year old me would tell you right now is a deliciously juicy booty and for some reason JD reacts like you and then we're supposed to believe like first of all we're supposed to believe he would find that woman unattractive in any way
Starting point is 00:39:46 and B, what was eww about her having a juicy booty? I didn't understand it. It doesn't ever come back. There's nothing eww. Sorry, let me just finish the thought. I assumed that what was going to happen, and maybe it was cut, was that then we'd be in your head, you'd see the exact same woman, and you'd be like, damn! Damn!
Starting point is 00:40:03 You only comment on Elliot's butt, which was weird. Like what? Turks comment on Elliot's butt which was weird like what Turk's never seen Elliot's ass before no it's just that Turk thinks about that I think Turk thinks about that shit all the time though is the thing I think if anything I think this is where I remember you
Starting point is 00:40:18 not liking big booties from then maybe I evolved because there's nothing wrong with that young lady's back there's nothing i don't understand i don't understand the point of the joke yeah because it doesn't even have a payoff no like the when i saw it i went okay they're gonna make a black guy white guy appreciation of butts thing and then it would cut to turk having the vo see the same woman and be like and that never happened.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I don't know if that was edited out or something, but it didn't have a ying to its yang. You know what I mean? Well, I'm glad that didn't happen, first of all, because that stereotype no longer holds up. I think everybody appreciates a nice big butt nowadays. Yes, but the stereotype used to be that African-American males appreciated a large booty more than Caucasian males.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah, we were just ahead of the game. You were ahead of the game before y'all got up on it. Well, that young woman was stunning, and every aspect of her was stunning. I laughed out loud when I fell on all the files that I dropped. Right. But that was a very good setup. It was very, what's the word I'm looking for? It was telegraphed and you saw it coming.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yes. But well done. Thank you. Very well done. It made me think about, you know, in 2004 when this was made, that things were still that paper-based. You know, now all that's computerized i imagine i think i would hope so right maybe not i don't even know i remember i mean but i imagine but i remember
Starting point is 00:41:53 thinking like imagine dropping all those files and all that being fucked up and then he fucking falls on it that was funny it was very it was very funny i don't think that joke holds up as far as the technology but as far as well executed and uh the the droppage of the paper and yeah it's like classic it's like a number one joke telling you know what i mean like there's you know what i mean it's it's good jokes you know by the way we just we just i slipped first all, the sound effect of the slip was funny and then crash, and then I just get right back up like nothing happened. I leave like 100, whatever, 500 files on the ground that are people's private documents.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Right. All of their – right, right, right, right. All of your patient doctor confidentiality, whatever it is, out the window. Now, is this Lonnie's first appearance as my intern? I don't know. I know it's not his first appearance on the show because he's in the pilot. Yes. For those of you who don't recall that bit of trivia, Mike Hobart, who is the little brother of Tim Hobart, one of our great writers, played the pizza delivery guy in the MRI machine
Starting point is 00:43:07 or CAT scan machine, whatever it was, in the pilot when Turk jokingly says, I love you. And now he's back. Now, do you think that that pizza delivery guy went to, no, he couldn't have gone to med school that quickly because it's only been two years. It would be three years later. It would only be three years later.
Starting point is 00:43:25 So it's one of those experiences of an actor. Unless he was already in school and he was trying to get his. That's true, Donald. I like that explanation better. Lonnie was paying for med school delivering pizzas. And now he's JD's intern but this is the first time he appears as JD
Starting point is 00:43:51 this is the first time he's Lonnie the intern let's talk about Carla not being funny this is something that Judy would talk about all the time Judy wanted more comedy and Bill was always like, no, you're like the heart of the show. She was like, fuck that shit. I want jokes.
Starting point is 00:44:11 He gave her a joke and then made it so that she wasn't funny. She gave her a joke and the joke was that she wasn't funny. It's so fucked up. That's like Machiavellian shit. Okay. You know what your joke is? Your joke is that you're not funny. fucked up. That's like Machiavellian shit. Like, okay. You can't joke.
Starting point is 00:44:27 You know what your joke is? Your joke is that you're not funny. Oh, that's pretty funny. What about JD? I mean, in what world would JD have the balls, audacity, disrespect to be trying to get it? I think it was a goldfish. Trying to get it in Laverne's cleavage?
Starting point is 00:44:45 In what world is that happening? But that fantasy where she tackles me is hilarious. God, they would make Aloma do some crazy shit. Yeah. Randy Macho Man Savage elbow drops you. I know.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Don't get me wrong. Aloma had a good top rope don't get me wrong aloma had a good stunt double but they but they but aloma was game to do like the okay aloma you're gonna get up and jump on these mats she was down all right let's go let's go oh man you know this episode when this this whole episode reminded me when i was a kid i was like i want this to be like the corn pops commercial for me because those commercials were always really dope it was awesome that you did the voiceover for the show and everything but i didn't want to sound like you you know what i mean more than anything what i wanted to do was i want to make it sound different i want it to be if i were, you know, on the show.
Starting point is 00:45:45 And the one thing that I grew up loving, and I think maybe that's why my voice is so energetic when I'm doing the voiceover and stuff. And I always wanted to be in it. And none of my, I never got to be in it. But all of my friends, like Dulé was in one. A young lady by the name of Chinana from my neighborhood was in one. But the Corn Pops commercials, man. You're talking about gotta have my pops i gotta have my pops dude i wanted to be in one of those commercials so bad right yeah and so when this came about i was like yo this is my gotta have my pops moment and so that's how well i like that you you were very funny and you didn't
Starting point is 00:46:23 you definitely did put your own spin on it. You didn't do like the, oh, I'm just going to do JD's version of it. I thought you made it your own. Yeah, I tried to. Now, all of a sudden, there's a mailbox in the middle of the parking lot, which is like the weirdest. Like, why not put the mailbox in a place that we have not established as, I mean, it's basically a parking spot. Yeah. I mean, when you finally do mail the invitations to the end,
Starting point is 00:46:48 it wobbles. Like, come on, guys. Now, did you pick up the It references in this episode? No, because I hadn't seen It at the time. No, I'm saying now. I didn't even... I've never seen It, even the latest incarnation. But there's both clowns.
Starting point is 00:47:08 There's both clowns and Judy hiding in the mailbox a la the sewer thing. Well, that reference does remind me of it. That did remind me of it. And the clowns. I didn't put the clown. I didn't either. Scrubs Wiki.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Yeah, wow, good job. Good job, Trevor. So this is written by Mark Stegman, a very funny man. And somewhere, I mean, I'm assuming, it might just be a coincidence, but it might be something people read it. Speaking of reading it, I want to just digress for one moment. Because remember last week we were talking about Wish I Was Here. And I think because we talked about Wish i was here a lot of people uh finally watched it it's on netflix if you weren't one of those people but um a woman wrote a comment uh
Starting point is 00:47:51 that really moved me and i want to read it to you guys because it's a it's a perfect example of you as an artist you put something out there and then uh people experience it in completely unique ways. And you and I, I was saying to you on the podcast that aired today that there was no love story. And this woman on my Instagram wrote, wish I was here was 100% a love story. Love for his art, love for himself, love for his dad, redefining the relationship with his wife, redefining self-respect, his
Starting point is 00:48:26 wife redefining her own self-respect, love for his kids. Every single relationship and character is exploring what it means to have love. Oh. Wow. And I was like, that made my day. She watched your movie better than you watched your own movie. No, well, she saw something that I didn't. Now, of course, I read that and I go, yes, you're right, of course.
Starting point is 00:48:51 And I did comment. I said, well said. That's amazing. But my point is that that's just so cool to me that I put that out there. I say something like, well, there's no love story. And someone who the film meant a lot to is like, oh, I disagree. It is about love. It may not be about romantic love, but it's about love.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Anyway, I wanted to share that because you listening may not think that we see the nice things you say and the mean things you say. And we don't occasionally. Some weeks I don't read any of it. But some weeks I do read it and I love that and it meant a lot to me you know i always see the mean shit the nice shit always for some reason just goes over my head well you probably do what a lot of people in the public i do you just scroll for the mean thing like where's the motherfucker that hates me what i used to do is and then i stew over it and i'm like fuck him and i should write something back to that no what you do is you scroll through I stew over it, and I'm like, fuck him, and I should write something back to that motherfucker. No, what you do is
Starting point is 00:49:45 you scroll through nice things to find one mean thing, and then you click on that guy's link and just look at him. And then I size him up, all that shit's in there. It's like, I wonder if I could beat this motherfucker. Cyrus Silverman posted this thing.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I mean, you cannot believe the shit this guy was writing on her Instagram. She screenshot it. If you're listening, go to Sarah Silverman's Instagram page if you want. It would be, you know, from, you know, roughly the beginning of the year. And this guy wrote the most graphic, horrific fucking shit to her. And then so she, like a lot of people, was curious. She clicked on his thing, and his thing is like, dad, Christianity.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Like, believe, believe in, you know, set your goals and you can achieve your dreams. Oh, my God. The shit he wrote to her was like, I won't even say what he wrote to her. It's so bad. bad i'm just gonna say some of the most uh vile and inhumane people out there hide behind religion as their freaking why they're a good person but then when they step out say some of the most evil things you could ever say and then say but i'm a christian that shit is oh my god it doesn't make me upset because you know to each your own you are who you are and you do what you do whatever whatever but I always find that really interesting
Starting point is 00:51:08 you know yeah take the proverbs quote out of your bio if you're a fucking asshole right like come on man because like generally like okay so let's say you're not a religious person etc etc but if you listen and you were to read you know the bible or you were to
Starting point is 00:51:24 read the quran or you were to read, you know, the Bible or you were to read the Koran or you were to read the Torah, the message that's given is a positive message. And so it's like, well, why not? Why wouldn't you want to live that way? Why wouldn't you want to be a happy person and treat people with kindness and be of love and, you know I mean? And, and, and, and, and, and believe in a higher purpose and power. So the people that believe that and then walk out into the street and say some of the things that they say about other people in their religion and other people and their, you know, beliefs and other, it's just like, Oh my God, how can you freaking then go back home and say all praises due to Allah or
Starting point is 00:52:04 praise be to Jesus or you know what I mean? I heard Garcetti say on the news this weekend that in Los Angeles, every six seconds, someone new gets COVID-19. So not only that, one in five people tested has COVID-19 in Los Angeles. Yeah. That's a scary thought. There are more than five people living in my household. And I had to explain to my kids, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what it means.
Starting point is 00:52:34 It doesn't mean every five people in America has COVID. It means if you're tested, most likely every five people in it, the statistics say that every one in five people has it. I can't believe they're still shooting things. I mean, the industry would say, you know, we test every morning. People are in face and shields, and we don't want to shut down this economy. I don't see how we can go back to work. Well, do they shut SAG and the other unions shut down commercial
Starting point is 00:53:05 production um but film production tv production is still happening i mean i feel like it it's unsustainable they we'll see we'll see what happens when we're at a point where you should just not even be i mean unless you're going to a grocery store yeah yeah you shouldn't be around anyone you're absolutely right but it's absolutely right we're at that point again are you surprised that film production is still going? I don't necessarily want to comment on that but I do want to comment on the fact that you're worried someone's going to hire you
Starting point is 00:53:34 you know what, Donald talks shit I don't want Donald, get Dulé Hill Dulé Hill never talks shit if Dulé gets a job over me, so be it I love Dulé and he deserves some all of the work that he does. Some director was like, you know, I was about to hire Donald for this giant job I'm doing, and he was talking shit about why film production is still happening in L.A., so I hired Dulé. You're welcome, Dulé.
Starting point is 00:54:01 You're welcome. You're welcome, Dulé Hill. No, but I don't see how it's possible. I think once they start doing the testing and stuff again and crew members and stuff are starting to come back positive because that's what's going to happen. When they start testing is when you will know again if the industry will open up. If the industry will open up. When the first time they go test and 10 people from the cast are asymptomatic or 10 people from the crew or whatever it is are asymptomatic and have tested positive, that's when they'll be like, oh, shit. We need to because that's what's happening right now.
Starting point is 00:54:40 At least that's what the news is saying. And you're right. You know, I'm taking it from the news. And, you know, Denzel says it best. If you don't read the news, you're right you know i'm i'm taking it from the news and you know denzel says it best if you don't read the news you're not informed and if you watch the news or read the news you're misinformed so you know i don't know what the exact number is but uh well we do know that garcetti our mayor did say that every six seconds in los angeles someone's getting COVID. I'm just saying, no, who, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:07 there are, that's like some zombie apocalypse numbers. Dude. It is. Speaking of zombie, that's what Kobe was talking about today. Kobe was like, dude,
Starting point is 00:55:16 if the zombie apocalypse happened right now, America's done for man. All these other places might do better than we are. Cause we fucking keep fucking. All we do is just go. We just keep fucking up. If there's a zombie apocalypse, we wouldn't stay in and or away from the zombies. We'd walk right to them like, what's up?
Starting point is 00:55:30 Don't y'all want to make some money with us? I know. This is our test. This is our zombie apocalypse test and we've really failed. Speaking of zombie apocalypse, I want to give a shout out to two podcasts. Now, you should never listen to another podcast before you listen to this one. Agreed but um flo and i took a road trip and um up to the north bay and binged two
Starting point is 00:55:53 podcasts that were amazing one is called chameleon um the hollywood con queen which is a true story of a uh a woman who is conning film production people and making them fly to Indonesia and taking their money. But it's fascinating. And then the other one we binged for the road trip, if you're going on a long road trip, or even by the way, since I was trying to inspire everyone to exercise, podcasts, again, after you've listened to this one, are great for just getting on the treadmill or walking around your neighborhood or whatever. The other one we binged was called Dirty John, which is now I believe a TV show, which we're going to watch. But this was the LA Times reporting on this guy.
Starting point is 00:56:43 And I don't want to ruin anything, but both of those are as binge-worthy as your favorite TV show. Donald, I laugh out loud when Carla's in the mailbox and she starts pulling you in and you did your Donald Faison scream. I think this is where the Donald Faison scream came from. No, that Donald scream, I first saw it on Clueless when you're in the Jeep.
Starting point is 00:57:04 No, in the Jeep, I go, ah! I scream like a, I don't scream with the high pitch. I don't do that scream. Oh. I think this is the first time. Anyway, it's hilarious. There's something so funny about you doing that face and screaming. It makes me laugh out loud.
Starting point is 00:57:19 It was funny. I don't think Judy was really in the mailbox when we're doing that. So I'm pretending that I'm being grabbed by someone. Right. It would have been a lot funnier if you ask me if I could, if there was a hand that pulled out when I pulled away that came out and then pulled me back in, but you know,
Starting point is 00:57:36 not so much. Well, the mailbox was, I mean, I don't know who, I really don't remember this director, but I don't, I don't agree with his choice of just putting a mailbox randomly in a parking lot that everyone who knows the show knows.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I mean, there was no mailbox there. It was recently added. Okay, we're going to take a break. And when we come back, we have lots more to talk about. And we have a beautiful fan who better be in a onesie because the guy last week really set the bar high wearing his onesie. All right, we'll be right back.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. I don't know in light of today's conversation, if we should do the gurgle joke,
Starting point is 01:02:09 but okay. Yeah. Sean's going to be gurgling. That's what gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. Oh, what is that?
Starting point is 01:02:16 Sean's going to be like, gurgle, gurgle. Elliot, what is that? All right. That's too much. That's fucking gross.
Starting point is 01:02:22 It's so gross. All right. Gurgle, gurgle. Listen, have you ever not laughed when you say the word pianist? I'm 45 years old. That's too much. That's fucking gross. That's so gross. All right, gurgle, gurgle. Listen, have you ever not laughed when you say the word pianist? I'm 45 years old and I still giggle at the word pianist. Everybody laughs at that.
Starting point is 01:02:34 It's hard to say. I laughed at you trying to do it. I laughed at J.D. jumping Jones Creek. That was hilarious. That was really funny. How far did you make it? Well, I'm not exactly sure in terms of feet and inches, but let's just say halfway. How far did you make it? Well, I'm not exactly sure in terms of feet and inches, but let's just say halfway.
Starting point is 01:02:51 First of all, jumping Jones Creek. This is the weirdest storyline for JD. He has some free time. This is JD's storyline. He thought he was going to be working with Dr. Cox on a project, on a paper. He's relieved of his duties because lani takes over so he has enough free time that he's hanging out with teenagers and on a bike or a skateboard no bike a bike a bike and it's like the simpsons when he jumps the canyon jd's gonna jump jones creek that's yeah and the kids are all amping him up and calling him a wimp right so he first he stops by the hospital.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Yeah. He's got his helmet on. He's got his pads on. And then he only makes it halfway over the creek. Right. It's so stupid. It's like a cartoon. It is a cartoon.
Starting point is 01:03:40 This is what I'm talking about. This was at the time where the show really started to become like a cartoon, where it was like, dude, we're starting to say things and do things that don't. I think end of season three, I think they were like, how far can we push the wackiness and the stoner craziness? Yeah. To the point where we eventually get to you as a goat Turk. Goat Turk. My bad. I don't know what season that was.
Starting point is 01:04:06 But that's one of the Keri Russell episodes. Yeah. Alright. Stay away from my woman Goat Turk. My bad. My bad. Elliot is shocked that Mrs. Dawson is hot with an unattractive husband. That's pretty judgmental
Starting point is 01:04:21 of her. I mean, what the fuck? I don't... You't you know i think nowadays it's you know this has been something that's always been an issue for i guess uh people i guess people like like when you really think about it because you're shocked you're it is it is shocking because you know in the words of Woody Allen, the heart wants what the heart wants. You know what I mean? He said that after
Starting point is 01:04:51 he fell in love with his stepdaughter. But you know exactly what I'm talking about. Who a person falls in love with is who a person falls in love with and it is nobody's... Well, you're right. Let's stay here. Unless it breaks laws, unless it breaks laws unless it breaks laws and breaks you know what i mean and and and causes harm to people you know who i love is who
Starting point is 01:05:13 i love dude like but people do when there's a very hot person whether it's the man or the woman and the you know it's not just that it's other things too it's races it's freaking it's there this list this this this, this. No, but let's just focus on the thing that Scrubs is talking about, which is. It's nobody, but I'm saying it's nobody's business. It's a bombshell of a woman and then her sort of short, nerdy, heavyweight, you know, not, you know, traditionally universally attractive husband walks in and Elliot is shocked. Yeah, that's the plot point. That's the plot point. That's the plot point.
Starting point is 01:05:45 That doesn't make sense to me nowadays. Maybe it did back then. And I forget that it did back then, but nowadays it's like, yeah, you, you know, when,
Starting point is 01:05:56 first of all, when you marry somebody, they don't look like they look, you know, 10 years later, you know, I don't, I don't know how you could use this as a as a form of comedy i i
Starting point is 01:06:09 do you think people could do this joke now you were talking about last time about punching down and and all that stuff i wonder if a a comedy would do this joke today well what do you guys think where is it funny though but where is it funny where is the joke well the joke is the joke of the show which leads to her saying what's your secret and she and she gives her the plot the plot device of oh i just want someone i don't care you know all i care about is that i found the guy who's there whenever i need him and i love them. But I wonder in today's climate, if you would do a story that at the heart of it was, wow,
Starting point is 01:06:50 it's shocking how unattractive her partner is. I mean, probably not a full story, but if you think about every adult animated cartoon, it's that plot line, essentially. Yeah, absolutely. Vincent and Marge. Freaking family guy.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Even Bob's Burgers has it a little bit. Sometimes, althoughinda's much more of a down-to-earth mom than most of the other cartoon moms but it's but it's like that with all of them you could go back from i dream of genie to freaking uh well no those weren't those weren't bewitched those weren't i mean i guess you could say that the traditional these are guys that king of queens when you look at it dating way out of your league every in every sitcom it's like that though the dad is dating is is somehow way out of his league whether it be i know and not only and not hold up and not only and not only uh physically physical attributes but mental attributes also but yet you know i think you guys are missing my point. Those are just examples of like, of course,
Starting point is 01:07:48 they put the schlubby guy with the hot wife. My point is in today's climate where people are being more sensitive to people's feelings and quote unquote, punching down, if that's the right term, would you do a joke that's about like oh my god i can't believe how ugly her husband is i mean i don't know i just i don't think so yeah i just don't think that joke i don't think that joke is funny anymore i think it's humor at the expense of someone else in a in with a you know a situation that is out of their control you know right because like it's it's clear that Brad Pitt didn't do it for the young lady. We made it an hour and a half without you bringing up Brad Pitt.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Well, I just know you love him. I do, but I feel like my crush is rubbing off on you. No, I still love Leo. I still love Leo. All right. Shuey, is the guest here? I still LL. The guest is here. Let's invite the guest in. All right. Let still LL. Let's invite the guests in.

Starting point is 01:09:07 Our son Santana does teletherapy, so his name is like saved in there forever. Who is it then? Courtney and Keisha Gulley. Courtney and Keisha Gulley! Yay! I love it. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Listen, every guest's favorite part of being on the show is getting their Oprah voice from Donald. So we want to make sure you get it right. I hear everybody else's introductions. I hear you guys doing the random names. I'm waiting for the random Courtney, but I guess Courtney isn't random enough yet. Courtney.

What a beautiful baby. Hello. Who's that? Sebastian your kids. Oh my God. What a beautiful baby. Hello.

Starting point is 01:10:36 Sebastian has beautiful hair. What a handsome. No, we appreciate you guys having us. This is awesome It's pretty surreal I'm actually the Scrubs fan in the house We are both the Scrubs fans in the house Oh
Starting point is 01:10:52 I'm the bigger, better one But, you know, I'll put her on I'll put her on We appreciate you Alright, guys Do you have a question after all this fun introduction? Yes, we do. Like I said, I'm trying to put us on.
Starting point is 01:11:10 I'm like, and I already do the blogging thing and social media stuff, so I keep telling him I won't ever in life say this ever again, but he's kind of funny. He's kind of a funny guy. Explain funny because
Starting point is 01:11:25 break that down real quick. Sometimes he says funny things like ha ha. I'm telling him, I said, we could do something together. We could work together. She thinks I'm funny now. She thought we was funny when we met and now she don't think I'm funny ever. She's just doing this now.
Starting point is 01:11:45 I'm telling him we could do some work together, a podcast, something, and he just won't let me have my dream. He won't work with me, and we met through work, so I don't know why he won't work with me anymore. Wait, what's your question? Is this Fix Your Life?
Starting point is 01:12:00 I don't know. Can you give me some advice? How can I get this man? We're at Fix Your life already. Okay. Let's start with fix your life. Hold on. We need our fix your life music. It's time to fix your life! Alright,
Starting point is 01:12:16 you're at the right place, guys, because we can tell you how to work together. You want to work together and it's very easy. You need to have someone Who's going to take care of those children for you While you take an hour and a half Do you have someone who can help out?
Starting point is 01:12:31 Nope We could work it out Or you could do it while they're sleeping If I was you guys It's very easy to just Do it Put your phone on a record And sit down and have a
Starting point is 01:12:46 conversation. Give yourself a couple prompts. Like things that you guys both find funny. Do you know what I mean? We find a lot of the same stuff. So if you said, alright, we're going to talk about these 10 areas that make us both laugh and then just start talking.
Starting point is 01:13:01 You don't have to, this is in the example of collaborating for a podcast. You don't have to, this is in the example of collaborating for a podcast. You don't have to worry about if it's all good because you can edit it down. But if you guys, if you have areas, like the perfect example is Joelle and Donald have an area that they find interesting, Star Wars. They can go off and talk about Star Wars
Starting point is 01:13:18 for hours and hours and hours. Now, if you and your husband have like, oh my God, we find these subjects funny and this makes us laugh and we have a unique perspective because we're parents. We can talk about it from a parenting point of view. We can talk about it from a Phoenix point of view, you know, all the other aspects of your life. And then just riff, just talk like you do and crack each other up. And then, of course, you'll want to go back and edit out the slow parts or edit out the stuff that wasn't funny.
Starting point is 01:13:42 But bam, there's your first episode. How's that? episode. Oh, wow. Awesome. See? Joelle, you're a producer. Give them more advice. Yes. As you guys work together, don't be afraid if your first pilot is not great. Donald and I
Starting point is 01:13:58 recorded two or three pilots before we got it right. I feel like there's... Not everybody has the fortune of having the Zach and Donald banter back and forth. That's very easy to follow. So instead of trying to make it perfect from the get, I would say make it something that you enjoy doing and coming back to. Because a lot of people are like, oh, podcasts. It's easy. It's not easy. It's actual work, especially by the time you're in the 50th or 60th episode. And you're like, gosh, we talk about the same same stuff today so make it something that you guys enjoy doing and i think you're fortunate that it's a couple like you guys
Starting point is 01:14:28 are a couple and you get to like set aside time and you can make it a fun thing instead of something that's a chore and then it'll be something you enjoy doing for like a long time hopefully yeah and it's a great way i i love that you guys want to do it it's a great way to uh communicate also and talk about and talk about things that you wouldn't necessarily talk about when the microphone isn't recording you, you know? There's, there's something really freeing and liberating about being behind a microphone and talking to your best friend and, and uh you know expressing yourself and you wind up saying things that you necessarily wouldn't say because one you're showing off for the audience one even though you mean it you're and two you have a platform to say it now and so uh there's
Starting point is 01:15:19 an escape and that's kind of what's happened like listening to your show there'll be times with sitting back and like he'll start cracking up at something you guys have said. And I'm just like, I don't think that was really funny. He's like, because you didn't get it. Because this is what happens. And so we. But that's good, by the way. I always find, you know, when we have fuck ups here or we're talking about the behind the scenes stuff, we for the most part keep it in because people i think find that
Starting point is 01:15:45 interesting if i was if i was producing a podcast with a funny couple like i can already tell you guys are and then you and then shit got serious and and it got into a like a real heart to heart about something in your life i would i would lean in i'd be more interested there's a great there's a great podcast actually it was the podcast that started it was the inspiration for the show i did alex inc and um the um alex um who was the star of his podcast first season of startup he would record like his real conversations with his wife when when shit was heated and and she knew obviously he wasn't doing it secretly but but when they would get into it he'd be like babe this is sorry this is part of the podcast i gotta record and she would she was begrud it, he'd be like, babe, this is sorry. This is part of the podcast. I got to record. And she was begrudgingly, she'd be like, all right, well, then let's have it out. And it was fascinating.
Starting point is 01:16:29 It was really good. All right, good. I'm glad to hear that. So I can, now that you've co-signed Donnie, I'm sure he'll be on board. Because that's what we're going to do. Well, we can't wait to listen. Courtney, do you have a question for us? Because I know you were on Kid Patrol. Do you have a question for us? Because I know you were on Kid Patrol.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Do you have a question for us? What did you ask already? About the... Oh, my goodness. Santana. All right, they're switching. Oh, I wanted to hear that. Well, you're going to listen to it back.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Yeah, I got to listen to it back. I wanted to hear that. So we were also discussing if you guys had the chance to be on a reality show together. Like, which reality show? Amazing Race. It would have to be Amazing Race. It would be Amazing Race. That would be a good one.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Amazing Race, because Donald will be good with the athletic aspects. No, not now. Not right now. I'd be good with the planning. You'd have to listen to me, Shun. I'd be like, we're catching that bus. Run, run, run. Like right i'd be good with the planning you'd have to listen to me soon you'd i'd be like we're catching that bus run run run like i'd be good with the planning if you're counting on me for athletics right now oh buddy no you'd be good when you have to the thing that would get us both would be the puzzles i hate and if you ever watch amazing
Starting point is 01:17:39 race but all of a sudden they're like solve this puzzle to win the next thing and then i can never solve the puzzle i'm like oh i'd be i'd be last in that puzzle what other reality show are we gone i would love to be like on real world you would fucking win dancing with the stars he would win or uh like donald would win or something like that donald would win dancing with the stars no no no no no or the uh yo my my the the ultimate the ultimate one dancing with the Stars. No, no, no, no, no. Or the... Yo, the ultimate one, Dancing with the Stars already. There is no need for another black man to ever be on Dancing with the Stars after Alfonso Ribeiro has shut it down. It is shut down.
Starting point is 01:18:18 It is a wrap. For anyone else, listen, I don't care who you are. If you were on a sitcom ever in the history of sitcoms and you are African-American, there's no need to go on Dancing with the Stars anymore. Alfonso, shut it down for us all. That is a fact. For all of us. I'm just saying, I know you don't want to go on Dancing with the Stars, but his question is, which show would you go on? What about the Masked Dancer, that new one?
Starting point is 01:18:46 No, I wouldn't go on Masked Dancer or Masked Singer either, man. If I had to do a reality show, it would be one of those ones. You could win Masked Singer too, Donald. You could win Masked Singer too. I'm telling you, Donald, I haven't seen the Masked Dancer. How do they dance with their masks on? I haven't seen it either. I just know it's popular. I've been seeing it. Very popular. It's like the same kind of concept the Masked Dancer. How do they dance with their masks on? I don't know either. I just know it's popular.
Starting point is 01:19:06 It's like the same kind of concept with Masked Dancer. These aren't reality shows, though. These are game shows. That's true. You know we should go on. Game show competition. We should go on. We should go on Family Feud. Oh my god, yes. Oh my god, that'd be so much fun.
Starting point is 01:19:21 That would be hilarious. If it was for charity and our cast gets back together and we do Family Feud, that'd be so much fun. Oh my God, that would be so dope. Us versus The Office. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Or us versus Malcolm in the Middle.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Us versus... Oh my gosh! Do you remember Richard Dawson would kiss every woman? Do you remember that back in the day? Not anymore, not in the COVID times. Not anymore. No, but do you remember the oldson would kiss every woman? Do you remember that back in the day? Not anymore. Not in the COVID times. No, not anymore. No, but do you remember the old school Family Feud? Like three hosts ago, when we were growing up, it was Richard Dawson.
Starting point is 01:19:53 You guys can look on YouTube. Just put in Richard Dawson, Family Feud, creepy kissing. And every woman would get like a sensual kiss, sometimes on the lips. It was so weird. I would watch it like old school Price is Right and Bob Barker was doing the same thing. Yeah. Really?
Starting point is 01:20:07 I mean, Richard Dawson, can you name that movie, can you name that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Richard Dawson was in? Running Man. Running Man,
Starting point is 01:20:14 that's right. I'll be back. He's the one he says I'll be back to. He said, he said, Arnold says to him, I'll be back
Starting point is 01:20:20 and Richard Dawson looks at him and goes, only in a rerun, pal. Only in a rerun. Richard Dawson was great in that movie. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was the bad guy in it. Only in a rerun, pal.
Starting point is 01:20:32 That's right. I do remember that. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine.

Starting point is 01:24:46 She's done a good job. She's advocating for our son. Our son is autistic. Uh-huh. So I do a lot of the blogging and influencing stuff I do is about, you know, the black experience with autism. Because our experience is a tad bit different than everybody else's. We have a couple of extra things with our children. Can you explain, wait, we want to plug your blog about it, but can you explain in layman's terms to people who know nothing about it, including myself, how is the black experience different with autism? With autism, especially when it comes to the
Starting point is 01:25:20 things you hear in the news, when Black people don't just have to worry or teach our children about the special needs, we also have to worry about how they interact with the police because my child, he has sensory processing disorder as well. So there are a lot of sensory issues and things that he might not respond to very well. And I don't feel like white parents really have to worry about these things because you see it in the news. Remember when the guy in Florida got shot and he was the behavioral therapist for the kid and all he had was like a train in his hand. Our son recently was called a racial slur at therapy um and it's like see on top of him being at therapy now he's getting bullied because of his race and that's not something that other
Starting point is 01:26:16 people have to worry about and some of the resources that are available for other people um people feel like these resources um when you use them, it makes you kind of less than, and that's not always the case. What's an example of some of the resources that people... Especially for people with special needs, I recently did a video for the city of Mesa here. The city of Mesa is actually the country's first autism certified city. So that means that everybody has training on how to deescalate situations, including the police department. So if you tell the police department, hey, my child is autistic, they don't come in guns blazing. They come in knowing what they're dealing with and their first priority is to
Starting point is 01:27:06 deescalate the situation. So we recently did some stuff with Mason. We went out and we tried out different things so they could, so I can see firsthand. I know you said it's a autism certified city, but like, you know, I wanted to know what that meant exactly. What does that mean for me and my family? So they give you like sensory guides guides so i know that if my kid has a sensitivity to loud noises then this might not be the best fit for him or yeah so you're saying the community is sort of a a laboratory in a sense where they're saying so there's signage like i'm just making it up like this this experience is it could be could be triggering for an autistic child. I see. That's that's fascinating. Yeah. The president and the CEO of this of the Visit Mesa is what it's called.
Starting point is 01:27:51 He kind of reached out to me via Instagram and he's like, I see what you're doing over here. I want you to come and just try out everything we have here because we're we are an autistic certified city. So when you come and check into the hotel, if you tell them that you have a child with special needs, they're going to make sure to accommodate you to make sure that they are accommodating to make sure that they speak certain language so that you can understand if they see my child being loud, they're not just going to assume I'm being a bad parent or something like that. They know that they're extra. There's something extra going on there. But yeah, what's the blog? What's the the blog so people could find out more about this? This is very interesting.
Starting point is 01:28:29 I'm sure our listeners would like to. It's called thekeeshaproject.com, and my name is spelled K-I-S-H-A. K-I-S-H-A. What's your Instagram handle? Panama Keesh. And that's Panama and then K-I-S-H. Yes. All right. Look, my husband plugged me. Yes. Well, you're doing, I think it's a great cause. No, I'm just trying to make the world a better place for our child and everybody else's children too. Well, thank you for what you're

Starting point is 01:29:19 where you guys, you know, you talk about, you know, your own personalities and you're funny and you have your have your banter but then you have serious chats about what it's like to be parents of an autistic child i mean there's so many parents i think that would listen to that right and and get related to that especially when he's out flying all day long so you know he's a pilot oh your husband's oh my husband's a pilot so's a pilot. You guys leave a lot of information out when you came on. So your husband's a pilot. Yeah, that's how we met.

I love how Keisha, it's called burying the lead when you leave the headline for the last thing. She's like, oh, and also my husband's a fighter jet pilot. the lead when you leave the headline for the last thing. And also, my husband's a fighter jet pilot.

Starting point is 01:32:36 novel romance thing. What really stunned me though, the wigs and the costumes are like out of the park good. They're sensational. I could watch just the gowns coming and going and that could be the show and it would be wonderful.
Starting point is 01:32:53 What about Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. What about Christopher? What about this one? Christopher? What about Christopher? No, you go ahead. What about this one? Christopher? What about...
Starting point is 01:33:05 No, you go. Christopher? Christopher? We could do that for a half hour. Y'all are goofballs. What about when she goes, Christopher, and then Turk turns around and goes, Christopher, you only call me Christopher
Starting point is 01:33:23 when you're mad or when we're having sex. Baby, are you mad when we're having sex? She goes, a little. Or she goes, sometimes. Sometimes. That's funny. That's real talk, though. Because you know, listen, man.

And I know there are times where we're having sex and she's so pissed off that she's having sex at that moment in time where she's like this motherfucker made me do this right but don't you have the skills to to bring around turn around i don't think any man does i'm gonna be honest with you i don't think any i don't listen you that's a fantasy that's bullshit i disagree with you homeboy i feel like i think if either partner i feel like we are men are the weak ones when it comes to sex we're the ones that has to freaking if anything changes in a situation the man will
Starting point is 01:34:18 be like at least in my situation i can't speak for everybody i'll speak for me i'll never take this back i'll speak for me i could be like baby let back. I'll speak for me. I could be like, baby, let's have sex. And she's like, no, I don't want to. I'll be like, come on. And she'll be like, fine, let's have it. And we'll have sex. And she'll be like, all right, you done? Good. Fine. She could be like, you want to have sex? And I'll be like, no, I don't want to have sex. And she'll be like, really?

This was the best thing ever. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:34:50 I didn't know this was what I wanted. This is what I wanted. And I should have known. Has it ever happened that Casey's wanted sex and you've not wanted sex? No. I didn't think so. I had to think about it. i had to think about it i had to think about it there have been times how many years you've been together uh the shit 11 13 14 something like that a lot of a long time we've been together for a really long time 11 to 14 somewhere in between 11 and somewhere in between sound like that something like that we were together six years before we got married.
Starting point is 01:35:27 Right. Well, I think you met. You started flirting at my 30th birthday party. That's when we started flirting. Which would be 15 years ago. And you're 46 now, so yeah. No, I'm 45, motherfucker. You'll be 46 this year in a couple of months.
Starting point is 01:35:43 In a couple of months. I made them as a clown. I made them. The only thing JD could make in terms of balloon animals was eels. He made balloon eels. I also laughed out loud when JD is trying to tell the family that their grandfather died in clown makeup. And all of a sudden his bow ties just start spinning. That was very funny.
Starting point is 01:36:09 I laughed at that too. I'd like to finish the episode, Donald, by talking about something controversial. I have never seen Judge Dredd. Okay. Any of the versions? No version have I ever seen. Do I need to?
Starting point is 01:36:24 I mean, they're fun. They're fun movies. Why not? I'm going to say no. I just don't think Zach's going to like them. Well, of course he's not going to like them. Why would you suggest he watch them? He's saying for the nostalgia campy factor.
Starting point is 01:36:38 If you want to laugh at, you want to see Stallone with his really blue eyes. laugh at like you want to see Stallone with his really blue eyes in so the premise is that he doesn't there's no time for a judge and jury anymore the cop decides your sentence on the spot he is the law well Zach here's
Starting point is 01:36:56 a very brief history Judge Dredd was a satirical comic written in Britain about the United States police and somewhat about their police officers too so it's like it's a really wonderful satire about like what if you lived in a police state but oftentimes when it gets um retold or reinterpreted the satire part floats out the window and they take it very seriously and he's viewed as a hero and so those movies are like
Starting point is 01:37:18 very comedic because you're like we've missed the entire point of the comic book which was trying to make a point about so it feels like somebody should remake it with... They did. They did remake it. They did. Did they take the satire... The same shit again. It's the same movie again.
Starting point is 01:37:34 I would say they even went further. Who was Judge Dredd? Really good actor. The dude from... I can't call his name right now. Yeah, the dude from Lord of the Rings and all of those other things. He's on The Boys right now. The lead
Starting point is 01:37:48 on The Boys. Oh, should I watch The Boys? I hear The Boys is good. I've never watched it. I keep hearing it's good. Carl Urban. Carl Urban. That's right. Carl Urban. The Boys is good. Donald, you would love The Boys. It's about superheroes. So wait, it sounds like Damien Lindelof, with
Starting point is 01:38:04 his skills for doing The Watchmen, should take on Judge Dredd. I would watch a Lindelof Judge Dredd, absolutely. That's a great idea, dude. By the way, Joelle, did you see that I tweeted at you a GIF of that very handsome man? I did. What's his name? He's Dr. Manhattan in the series. It's Yahya Abdul-Mateen. Oh, yeah. He's the person who plays it. man what's his name what's his name he's dr manhattan in the series it's yaya abdul-matin
Starting point is 01:38:25 oh yeah the person who plays it joelle was like someone carry me off to bed i'm exhausted and i sent her the gif of him and then and then but they cropped off where his blue penis would be there was no blue peen in it which was you know i appreciated um i have a question when you're in the makeup when you're in the makeup trailer and they're doing your whole body and turning it blue and they're like all right, now it's time for your penis. Do you think they're like, all right, man, why don't you do your penis? Or is someone down there?
Starting point is 01:38:52 There's no way that that's his penis. That shit is CG, dude. No, I think he's fully makeuped up blue. Have you seen it, Donald? You probably didn't watch it. It looks very accurate. Is it, like, ginormously big? It looks very accurate. Is it like ginormously big?
Starting point is 01:39:07 It's a very nice penis. It's large. I mean, he's a shower. Yeah, he's a shower. It's not monstrous. It's not like comically large. It's not like distracting. I guess it is distracting to some people. You guys are talking about it. This shit has to be
Starting point is 01:39:22 distracting. Why did you not watch Watchmen? I can't believe it. That's mind-blowing. I watched the first episode and I was really into it and then something happened and I stopped watching it. Watch the rest of it. Give Regina King her dues. You know I don't watch
Starting point is 01:39:37 anything. I watched Watchmen twice. Also, by the way, for the record, I've now seen Soul, which I enjoy. But aside from that, Watchmen. Donald, if you don't watch one thing we recommend, watch Watchmen. It's so good. All right, guys. That's got to be the show.
Starting point is 01:39:52 That is a show. That is a show. It's a long one. It's a long one. We couldn't stop talking. Sorry. Sorry about anything we're sorry for. We love you guys.
