I do have the box. You're excited about this. You didn't open it, right? I forgot about it already. Okay, good. I'm going to invite Bill in because he's here and he's going to be part of the live opening on the show. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Bill Lawrence here. We always invite Bill in early because he's special.

There he is. Thunderous applause, Dan. Bill Lawrence in the hang. Thunderous applause, Dan. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Do you like your thunderous applause? Yeah, I need it.

I run on compliments. Hey, guys. Hi, handsome. I need it. I run on compliments. Hey, guys. Hi, handsome. Bill, you're the only person we allow in early before we sing the theme song because you're so special. Well, also because he might sometimes count in and then we go into the theme song. But also, Bill's so funny that we're like, no, we want the whole show to be extra funny, so let him do the whole thing.

That is a lot of pressure. I mean, it's a lot of pressure. By the way, before the way before we even start i gotta say this is a very funny episode yeah yo i laughed a lot i laughed out loud and had to pause and write down laughing out loud because there's a lot of funny shit in this episode quite a quite a few funny parts in this episode quite a few can i can i tell you what would make you guys laugh is that because you know i i was you were nice enough to invite me late, and so it's a good challenge for me to try and remember an episode without watching it like I usually do beforehand.

And I went to one of the websites on Scrubs, and just looking at the pictures of it, I remember how funny the episode – one of the pictures is Scott Foley in a jukebox. Yeah. And one was – one was – one was – one was – Tara Reid was a cigarette box in one. Yeah. And I'm like, cigarette butt in one. Yeah. This episode was insane.

Yeah, it's insane. Dude, Scott Foley. Scott Foley. It's very stoner. It's a very stoner episode. Scott Foley and Elliot are playing hide and seek in the bar. No, in the world. In the world.

Yeah, in the world. They run into the bar and because you're highlighting how cute a couple they are together and he goes guys guys we're playing hide and seek no one tell her where i am and then i go she goes where is he and i go i don't know he's and then i see it he's in the jukebox he's he's managed to get inside the jukebox but then he gives you the and then i go and then i go he's a dynamite hider. That's so dumb. It's so dumb, but I laughed out loud.

I laughed. Yo, dude, come on. There's so many funny parts in this. There's so much funny shit. Wait, before we start, we have one special thing, Bill, that you're a part of. Donald is going to live open his Christmas present that finally arrived. All right, let me go get it. Oh, I'm very excited about this. Okay.

Now, Bill, on the last episode, which you haven't heard yet because it hasn't aired, we talked about how you probably know about StockX because your kids are obsessed with sneakers. Yep. So I got these on StockX for Donald. They had to go get certified. In the words of Matthew McConaughey. All right, listen. They've been certified as real.

They're limited edition. This is very exciting. He's opening, everybody. He's opening. I didn't take the time to wrap it because who cares? Because it came from stock. And it says it on the outside. I just want to put you out there with it

oh buddy buddy I have these already no you don't no I don't I'm just fucking with you these are fly as fuck dude holy shit holy shit Holy shit! Holy shit!

Lando Calrissian sneakers, y'all. Their limited edition Lando Calrissian Adidas. The best Star Wars character ever in the history of Star Wars. Take him out. Take him out, dude. They say his favorite. They say his lines on the side, his most famous line on the side of the shoe. Yeah, they've been opened already, so there's no reason to keep them in the box.

They had to get approved, bro. They had to get verified. I can't believe you said you had them. I freaked out. By the way, that's a well-performed moment. It was very well-performed. I thought it was real. Oh, those are good shoes. Oh, shit.

Oh, those are clean like the cloud cities, dude. Dude, you got Lando on the tongue, but Donald, look at the lines on the inside of the shoe, on the side. It says something about the ship, about the Falcon. You know, that ship saved my life quite a few times. She's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Love it.

There you go, buddy. Wow. Hey, Donald, that's from Zach and me, so we hope you like it. No, Bill. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Bill. Bill. Thank you, Bill.

Thank you, Bill. You see how that works? You see how that works, guys? And you see what I did automatically? I immediately thanked Bill. I just want to tell you that, Joel and Daniel, that's the proper response when someone says that's from Zach and I. That's how

you do. Thank you, Bill. I gave Joel and Daniel presents, and of course, Donald didn't. And Donald tried to be like, that's from both of us. And I was like, no, no. But you know what? Because it's Bill, Donald, that is from both of us. You know what will make you guys happy?

The only shoe related gift I've ever been part of is, and this is, it'll circle it back around, and maybe Don will know who this is. I'll have Henry come tell us. Henry walked into my closet, and he saw the Scrubs 100th episode Nikes. I had them unworn, untouched. And then he was watching some whatever version of Cribs or whatever,

but some hip-hop artist or rapper was showing his shoe collection, and somebody in our crew must have sold those because he had one of the shoes he highlighted on TV. Oh, no way. Yeah, on Cribs. I remember that. Yeah, these are the Scrubs 100 Nikes, and they're priceless because they're ungettable.

And Henry processed that, and then I went back to my closet, and my shoes were gone. Check this out. And they're literally on a homemade display case in his closet. I love that. It says priceless next to it. I love it. Oh, you warriors.

Oh, Donald still got them. Well, Donald wore them. Mine are unworn, too. Nice. Scrubs 100. Sure. Ungettable. They're probably on eBay for some other crew members who

were like bug it bug it before we just about those shoes real quick when you're when you were coming up as an actor and you got to do a lot of work when you were like i got to do a lot of work as a very very young actor like uh when i was before i was 21 i you know I was paying for high school and all of that shit, right? But through acting. And when you would get the crew gift, the crew jacket, that always was something, right? And when you're young, you wear that shit because you're proud of it and you want everybody to see. My one mistake with those sneakers is i wore them because joelle just posted that they're 2 000 bucks online those shoes oh

man well that's probably not worn i wore those things is it is it tacky for me to have about 200 pairs of those made real quick and then and then we just fly that stuff out there i mean we'll do good things well that's that's fly dude it's it's still the scrub it's still the scrubs uh dude that would be dope anyway bill son henry he's talking about is very into sneakers like a lot of teenage boys and i was going over their house and i i took a moment to look in my closet i collect sneakers and i was like i'm gonna put on like a pair that will really impress henry and i literally thought about this and i put on a pair and i was like all right henry's gonna notice and he's gonna think i'm cool uncle zach and i walk in the door he's like those are the lamest version of those you raised the dick yeah i didn't know if i could Oh my God. Yes! Yeah! He's such a dick.

You raised a dick. Yeah, I didn't know if I could love him more because he's my son, but I love him more. He's like, oh God, I want to just eat him up. He's so perfect. Anyway, Donald, you better wear those. Don't just put them on the closet. No, these will get wrecked. These will be put to the test.

I thought you'd like them because they have Landell quotes on the side. Yes, Bill. I have a good quick thing to say before as a way for one of you to count yourselves in. Randomly, my wife and i saw charlie pooth yesterday and uh he started talking about how much fun it was to work with you two knuckleheads on this theme song yeah and then said uh he's like i felt like it was all them they're so talented but he did say i do feel like i was a huge champion of making sure that they said the title of their podcast in their theme song lyrics. He's like, dude, you got to say what it is.

And that to me, it made me so happy now when I hear the end of that song of the Zack and Donald Scrubs. It's literally word for word. The most awkward possible title to fit into a song. Well, we have a new challenge for Charlie. We're going to do a dating segment for Joel, and we're going to call up Charlie and have him write a little segment song.

That boy's voice is so silky. Bill, you remember your birthday? Yeah. When he sang for your birthday? Perfect pitch. Perfect pitch, you guys. He's got perfect pitch. One year ago. One year ago when we could all meet up. Two years ago. Two years ago.

One year. I judged time by my daughter's boyfriends and he was two years ago. Bill, count us in because America loves it when you count. All right, but you know I can't. Oh, you have to be told not to. Donald, come on. Tell him not to.

Hey, Billy doesn't want you to. Billy doesn't. I'm not. Oh, you have to be told not to. Donald, come on. Tell him not to. Hey, Billy doesn't want you to. Billy doesn't want you to. All right. Ready? By the way, is this the type of thing that I could count us in? Or do you guys usually do that? No, Bill. You cannot.

It's only the host that can count us in. You can't count us in. It's a host activity. Don't you ever. Don't you do it. Here's some stories about a show we made. About a bunch of docs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. Bill, on Twitter today, someone said, I had no idea you were involved with, to me,

I had no idea you were involved with Ted Lasso. I love it so much. And I said, well, it was mostly me and Jason, but we got some guidance from Bill. And I thought you'd appreciate that. I'm spinning your podcast joke for Ted Lasso. Unacceptable. Tell us about – hold on. Billy, please.

We're doing a very famous podcast right now. That's going to be awkward that your dog and I have the same name, and I'm going to answer Billy from now on whenever you say it. Hold on. Let me let my dog out. She's crying. Come on, Billy. Billy, please.

While we're on a brief break, Donald, have you ever worn a pair of NMDs, the style of shoe that those Lando's are? No They're some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn I don't really I've never really worn Adidas to be honest with you, the only pair of Adidas I've ever owned

were the Patrick Ewing's back in the day Before he had the Ewing's, I had the Patrick Ewing's, they were the patrick ewing's they were the orange they were like the orange white and blue hell yeah pat ewing's back i remember standing in a little tiny in my in my mom's bathroom because she had the mirror with some raggedy ass clothes on but some clean ass pat ewing's looking at the shoes like that shit made me look good and i got a haircut that day too so i I know I looked fly.

I was like, yo, I'm going outside. I love it. Very, very funny show. And I still have the striped sweater that I'm walking up to the security guard named Irv. Bill, you didn't get a chance to watch, but I don't know if you recall. I do.

Irv, I remember Irv because he, I think he tried to smother or kill someone eventually. Yes, he does. So Irv is the security guard, which we've never seen before. We've only seen Leonard, Randall Winston, with a hook hand and an afro.

Are we not going to do America's favorite part of the show? Sorry. That's my favorite part. I let the dog out and I got distracted. Donald, yes, please, let me get my counter. I'm sorry, America and Earth. Now I'm going to fuck up because of you. No, you never fuck up.

You got it. Come on, Donald. This is all your fault. This is all your fault. Ready? I love this part. Mark, get set, go. Turk and Carla are joined at the hip.

The janitor's got a new job. Dr. Cox might have a crush. Elliot and Sean have reunited and JD makes out with a cigarette. Breaking up is so, so hard to do and no one ever really wants to waste someone's time. But we also hate confrontation. To overcome this fear is debilitating at times. And when it finally comes to a head, if not taken care of early, it can cause an awful mess. What's crazy is how fast the pressure is relieved

once you step up and face the situation. I've learned bravery is way more rewarding than cowardice. Yes, Queen. 41 seconds for Graph Guy. Yes, well, the janitor's in a real sticky position here

because he's got an nerves job, and his main goal as a security guard is to guard these one doors that Kelso keeps breaking through to go to his car. Oh, yeah, someone. He doesn't even know it first. He doesn't know it first. It's an emergency exit.

It's a fire hazard in the hospital. It's so important to say that, too, or the joke doesn't land. Like, he's a tough guy with Turk and Carla about the situation. He's telling them how, you know, he can't wait to catch this person. He's even asked security to handle it, but they're more worried about the people that are stealing and harvesting organs. Organs, yeah. I love that Herb's in charge of finding out who's stealing organs from the hospital.

But anyway, so the janitor has a friend who's a bank teller or something, and he puts one of the dye packs in the alarm somehow. No, but this is after the janitor gets the job. Right. So this is after the janitor gets Irv's job because Irv is now fired for smothering a patient. Or attempted murder, yeah. By the way, you and Judy, you and Carla tackle Irv, and Judy sticks a needle in his neck. In his neck.

To sedate him. You and Judy tackling Irv and putting a needle in his neck was hilarious. It was because the guy called him pudgy or something, right? Yeah. Right. Well, first of all, I'm jumping ahead. There's a really funny moment, Bill, when JD passes Irv and says, Morning, Irv.

And JD's just walking. And someone parks in a red zone when they ask him to park. And even though JD's walking, Irv starts to run. But because he's heavy and old, he can't really run that fast. But JD's just walking. And then you see JD arrive. And then Irv, even though he was running, arrives second. But wait, hold up.

It's a very funny joke. Because you see Irv run out. And then JD just walks. He runs past you. out yeah he runs past you he runs past you all right hey you guys uh i'll tell you some trivia that even um scrubs wiki guy won't know i was excited when zach when you said which episode it was you said my choosiest choice of all because there's certain titles and certain keys that i can tell you even without remembering it right off the bat that it was going to be a goofy joke filled episode because we would never you know title one of the serious episodes like that and my choosiest choice of all was because this is season three and we've been doing this for a long time and this is right

when and you guys know i bitch and moan and this is right when in the writer's room i started to get mad that all the voiceovers at the end of the shows were like at the end of the day you make decisions and these decisions lead to choices and those choices affect the things that you do and so this exists because then I would riff and those choices are the hardest things you'll ever do because sometimes the choosiest choice

is the choosiest choice of all and so when I see a title like this i know it's one of our silly episodes well that's funny that you say that because it is you know as the fans all know some episodes you know that you span the spectrum in tone and some are just packed with silliness and jokes and this is one of them i, there's not a moment when Turk and Carla aren't arm and arm for the whole episode, except the moment when they tackle.

No, when you tackle Irv and put a needle in his neck. And in the beginning. Even then you're together, but you don't have your arms around each other. But even, it all starts when you say, when you ask for, when you ask, do you ask them for advice, or do they just decide to give it?

Yeah, there's some commentary, like you don't want to ask a couple who are about to get married, Do you ask them for advice or do they just decide to give it? Yeah, there's some commentary. Like, you don't want to ask a couple who are about to get married because they think they have advice on romance for everyone. And then Turk latches on and then all of a sudden they connect and speak at the same time. And from that moment on, they're together. That's really funny. And by the way, it's a little precursor where it'll become, was it

Tarla or what was your name in Princess Bride? I don't remember. The fairy tale episode. Yeah, connected. Tarla. Tarla, right? Carl Hybrid. I didn't remember this episode at all. I sincerely did not.

I didn't remember one joke from this episode. You have a big part in this episode. You're in a lot of scenes i didn't remember i gotta tell you something there's something something was wrong with me this year because at the rap party bellamy comes up to me and is like hey what a great year and i'm and i didn't recognize her and i was like yeah dude this is like a psa for not having too much weed. For not smoking weed, yeah. Turla. Sorry, it was Turla. Turla. You know what I remembered, by the way?

Because I remember things in terms of arguments that we had in the writer's room and stuff. And I remembered one moment because there was a contingency of people in the writer's room that thought that Turk was too mean to say, Carl, I would never sleep with your sister. She's hideous. Well, Danny's back, and it's a funny – so, J.D., just to remind everyone – Not because I love you. Not because I'm a faithful man to you.

If she was hot, it would be different. It would be a different story. It would be a different story. And, by the way, they were correct, because remember the argument in the writer's room at the time was, aren't we eventually going to have Carla's sisters on? And we did. You guys got married eventually.

And we had those. You know what I mean? But none of them were hideous, though. No, they were babes. Yeah. So just to remind the audience, if you haven't watched the episode recently, that J.D.'s just had a one-night stand with Elliot. And Sean has arrived at their door. And so Elliot. And has walked into their apartment.

Yeah. He walked in like, and so JD to try and make Elliot jealous gets back together with Danny. Now there's a funny line. I thought I, I early on when JD says, or voiceover, when you run into someone you used to date,

you either find them annoying or enough time has passed that you've idealized everything about them. I thought that was a really good line, Bill, because I think everyone can relate to that. Like when you run into an ex, there's a fork in the road. It's like, are you still like, or are you like, oh, maybe they weren't so bad after all. Maybe this, maybe I made a huge mistake. and then sometimes then and that's what we were doing here you go i made a huge mistake it was a different time and you go let's go out for drinks and you have one nice night and then almost immediately you're like oh no no this is the

worst person i've ever met i hate my girl he quickly doesn't like her i mean he he uh he's just solely using her to try and make ell jealous. Not even to make Elliot jealous. Elliot doesn't remember her. He says that he's back with her after he gets upstairs. And she's like, oh, Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny. What's your last name again? And he goes, I should know that. I should know that.

And then JD goes, blonde hair. Oh. And then she goes. Rasty voice. Blonde hair. Like, they're both trying to figure out who danny is like dude i was so dude this is like this is like perfect stoner humor yeah like if you are if you are listen if you have the humor of someone who giggles or gets confused and then it's like what the fuck just happened this is the show for you at this point, man, because we are off the rails, man.

Well, Danny says- And there's a 20-person band in it. Yeah, at the end of the show. At the end of the show. I don't know. Bill, I know you got the AMA certification for most realistic medical show, but I don't know that Cox would let

like a 30-person band in the ICU. This one, by the way, worked backwards from the song because we always went search for songs. We all loved that polyphonic.person band in the ICU. This one, by the way, worked backwards from the song because, you know, we always went search for songs. We all loved that polyphonic band. It was so cool. Right. And so kind of just such a vibe. And everybody was like, screw it.

Let's figure out a way that all bazillion of them are in here. That was awesome. It was really fun. They were like platforms. Like Cox had arranged for like a PA system. There were microphones. Yeah, yeah. He built a scaffolding

there's balloons I think dropped all for his crush Adam Bernstein directed this by the way and Mike Schwartz is the name on the script there's a very funny scene

where JD has sex with Danny and you're contrasting the episode before there's been this like you know clearly like making love like JD and Elliot are like it clearly like making love like jd

and elliot are like it's like beautifully done like they're so into each other then in this episode she she tells him that she likes it rough and he's like i don't really and she's like she like screams at him and he slaps her across the face because she and he screams back it looks like he punches her it doesn't look like he smacks her and He goes, oh my god, Danny, I'm so sorry. I thought that's what you wanted. And she's like, it is. It's harder than it is. He squeezes his nipples. It's like a pro wrestling

match in bed. And then he comes out later and he's got his areolas are all puffy and red and he's got scratch marks across his chest like he's in a horror movie. And she's – by the way, she's smoking, and he goes, you didn't used to smoke. She goes, I like smoking after sex. And he goes, and during.

And during. And then she shrugs it off. She nods it off like, oh, yeah. So Danny is smoking while they're having sex. By the way, I have a question, Bill. I think Tara Reid must have been a smoker. That must have been the – was that the inspiration for all this? She was.

Tara Reid was a smoker? She must have been. I think she did. I think he's being a dick sarcastic. Well, yeah. So I think you wrote that in because I must have said like, you know, Tara's great and everything. But cigarettes and the cigarette breath and everything. I'm so not into that.

And you guys must have been like, OK, we're running with that. And by the way, let's, you know, some props to Tara Reid for being a young lady that embraced. I'm like, hey, let's do this shit that you're just unapologetically this character. And she just went with it, man. It was really funny. She loved it, by the way. when we first had her on the show she was like oh is this the one where i'm dressed as a cigarette that was hilarious and uh so she was totally game and so funny she had a lot of fun you could tell she was having a lot of by the way when i make out with her as a cigarette in the fantasy um and then i exhale smoke comes out of my mouth

oh just the worst man just the worst it's so funny but that's what it feels like to make out with a smoker did you guys did you guys have conversations in the uh because i i i this this tripped me out also the janitor is now a security guard but are we still calling him the janitor in the show yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't even think it's the janitor it's we still calling him the janitor in the show? Yeah. Yeah. I don't even think it's the janitor. It's just janitor. Janitor.

Janitor. You know, the best version of that for all time is it's still, and you guys now have to look for it, Sarah Chalk's funniest line reading whenever she's in a one-on-one scene with him. She goes, janitor. Janitor. Janitor. Every season it got higher. It was by season eight it was like

so so i have to know wait i have to know daniel joel were either of you smokers uh for like a little bit in early college literally the exact same when i thought it would be cool to marijuana like sophomore year we never looked back did you ever smoke cigarettes bill no no i was cool on my own. Didn't need to pay money for my coolness. But you have smoked a cigarette before. Yeah, I've done most everything before, Donald. I mean, let's be honest.

I'm an old man. We won't go down that road with you um i i'm so sad one of the biggest regrets of my life is that i never met single partying manhattan bill that might have saved your life buddy i know but if i had a time machine if i had a time machine and i could like we're watching the show called dark on netflix now it's all about time and uh it's it's really interesting and uh i recommend it is it theory is it theory what does that mean theory like does it make you have to think about theory or it's or or it's very yeah i'm sure if you're smarter than i am you can you it's very deep and i can't even keep track of it i have to pause and be like to go to florence and be like wait who is he now because it's all jumping it's jumping lots of years no but i mean are they are they using are they using time travel as a

like are they can you theoretically explain how it's happening you know what I mean like in yes and back to the future they gave you an excuse and it's easy to follow it because it's about wormholes it's about wormholes but it's one of those shows it's easy to follow it because of the flux capacitors. It's about wormholes. It's about wormholes. But it's one of those shows. It's a German show, and it's clearly written by very, very bright people. And it's one of those shows where I think if you're a super smart scientist, time travel person, you can appreciate it on a different level than I am. I'm the one pausing, asking my girlfriend, wait, what just happened? But anyway, it's still really good.

It's like Lost in a way, the show Lost in a way in that uh it's very mysterious and good but um i digress my sentence was if i could time travel i would like to visit with single partying uh 20 something bill in new york city that you look that's a lot like running in to an ex-girlfriend though to bring it all back which is now in retrospect they're fun memories but there's is all there's also the reality of like oh my god this guy's relentlessly annoying why are you talking so fast why is that bleach blonde hair guy talking so fast it's so it's i don't want to go to your loft party dude i mean he's not saying anything, but he thinks he's really funny.

It's pretty bad. Pretty bad and embarrassing. I've heard wonderful anecdotes. So the janitor says that he has his own nightstick. And he has it because his father, Donald, you did the best setup here. It was the most classic alley-oop. Do you guys like it? I'm using the term alley-oop.

The janitor goes i uh you know it's my i got this nightstick my father and donald goes was he a police officer and he goes no he was a cat trainer by the way no one was ever that happy but neil flynn embraced it about we had a weird thing with the janitor of there's a real intense dislike of animals in there and i don't know if you guys noticed that he has a dead squirrel army yeah he made a rabbit into a salt and pepper shaker yeah um i think the rabbit was a pepper grinder bill because you would you would spin the rabbit's head i don't think you could make this joke in 2021, Bill. I don't think so either.

The prop master took a taxidermy bunny and put it on a pepper grinder and took off the head so that the head would spin to grind. That's one prop I'd really like to have. Also, I don't know if you remember, because I could have. This is a show I still feel like I would watch today, even if I didn't sell it myself. Once we established that Neil, the janitor, had a squirrel army, we would have taxidermied squirrels in his garage.

We would occasionally just have him see a squirrel in a different episode, and he would make eye contact with it and say, wrong day, wrong wrong time my friend and he would throw like a blanket over it and then you would always cut to him in his garage having meetings with hundreds of taxidermied squirrels oh my god i would watch that all day oh my god i remember that episode where it cut to him lecturing the taxidermied squirrels. So many of them. Yeah, and a lot of them had different points.

He would say, I understand that, Keith, but that's not what we're doing right now. They were all. Oh, my God. We got to have Neil back on. Yeah. Joel, will you remind me? And let's find an episode that he has a lot to do. This would have been a funny one, uh we got to remember to have he says he says you know my my uh my dad raised cats trained cats and then after that he's walking

away and i go meow right and he comes running back in with the stick ready to and then he says something like you guys stay here as though it's dangerous and he walks off ah um all right so i i wanted to say so i have sex with danny and then i i come in the living room and you guys are being all judgmental and you go we know your danny's in there and i'm like no no no i'm just my buddy my buddy from the gym danny and you go i heard you say take it all danny and there's a long pause and I go he's a really good buddy hey

I want you all to join me and be a part of sisterhood, friendship, wisdom, and laughter. In every episode, we gather a seasoned elder. But even with a child, there's no such thing as the wrong thing if you love them. Myself, as the middle generation.

I don't feel like I have to get married at this big age in life, but it is a desire I have and something that I've navigated in dating. And a vibrant young soul for engaging intergenerational conversations. I'm very jealous of your generation that didn't have to deal with Instagram and Tinder. This is Across Generations, where Black women's voices unite and together, you know how we do,

we create magic. Listen to Across Generations podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Dude, I saw that coming. I was like, yo, we should go to, I was about to say we should go to break. And Bill beat me to it and then right away. You're going to hide the producer notes from the guest, Joel. I'm sorry.

Because occasionally we will have a guest with the audacity to read the producer notes. Dude, because listen, this is how it was. I was going to punctuate your joke with, and with that, we'll be right back. But before I can do that shit. So then Danny, wait, Danny comes in the living room and she goes, some skank just called and I told her to back off.

Her name is Deborah or whatever. And I'm like, yeah, that's my mom. So Bill, I have to ask you, you have, it's a tricky thing for you because you have your wife um on the show and cox is telling there's like a thing where dr miller cox has a crush on dr miller but like that would mean that his eye is straying from the glory that is your beautiful wife was that is that weird to write like do you have to tell crystal like oh just so you know this week um cox is gonna have a crush on someone other than you no look there's two things one was i'll tell you the funny one at the end but the one thing was uh we wanted to do like the mature

female version of where your relationship is at which is just acknowledging that like people find other people attractive people you know know? And so I really liked, I remember there's a joke in this with like Dr. Cox is like, people ask me if we're married. I say, no. What do you say? Oh, I say we were married for a long time and then we split up, but now we have a child together and we're in a committed relationship and it's great and amazing. You know what he's like? Oh yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I say that,

but the other joke, no joke is krista and i used to joke around how work is the only place i can tell her what to dress and what to say and how to look and stuff and so part of this was me going it might be sexy for krista blonde hair and so the end of this episode if you remember was as a wink to him she kind of changed she didn't do it all the way and we had to help it with a lighting effect, but she changes her hair at the end of this. And I remember just from a total, you know, in love husband

thing going, what a cool, corny excuse to have my wife mix her look up. And that was really fun for me. That's funny. Nice. That's cool. I was just thinking of Krista being like, no, Cox is not going to have a crush on someone. Yeah, no one would think of anything. Yeah, but she can't play that way.

How many times has Krista told you in front of me who she is flat out in love with and believes that she should have a free pass for? It's unacceptable. I remember, I don't know. Did you tell the Clooney story? Yeah. That was one of our first big fights. Tell the Clooney story. how uh yeah i was one of our first big fights tell the cluny story because cluny was her um cluny was her her hall pass quote unquote we chris and i when we were dating joked around

about like who's your free pass you know like if you run into them you're allowed to hook up with them without the other person complaining and i said whoever mine was i don't even remember and then christa said george cluny which is a typical answer so I didn't care but I didn't put it together that the Drew Carey show and ER were both Warner Brothers shows and literally like a week later I came to work and she was sitting on her trailer stairs with George Clooney having a coffee and I'm like I'm like you can't pick somebody that you see every day I feel like I feel like that's not part of the game. And she's like, no,

we were just doing free passes. I'm like, no, that was so insane. No, no, it would know your free pass. It has to be like something that's unachievable.

Yeah. You can't just have come with a conversation from your free pass and say, you know who my free pass is. It's this, it's this guy. Who brought up the free pass? I don't know. It might have been me, so fuck that.

Hey, Bill, this is my free pass, George Clooney. Yeah. Hey, speaking of George Clooney, Bill, do you think Richard Kine would come on the show? I do, and I think it would be super duper fun. Oh, I would love to come on the show. Oh, yeah, Joel, let's get Richard Kind because he's in 320 coming up

and he's so funny and I think audiences would love him and it is a bit of funny trivia that of all people in the world, he's George Clooney's best friend. I would have gotten that wrong on every quiz. But by the way, never, you know, on a show that we do so much with just the people

that live in our worlds never has a guest star come in and been somebody that we've all quoted so much still i've got yaba come on i have been to the zoo go on i have been to the zoo go on continue continue that would make me that would make me super happy i have uh i just love that guy he's one of those people that I see and I just start laughing. He was on a show. I don't know if you guys ever watched this show. It's very funny. There's only one season because I think they stopped because of COVID.

But it was called The Other Two. Is that what it's called? Do you want to double check for me? It's kind of a 30 Rock tone silliness. But it's about a kid that becomes like a Justin Bieber superstar and his two fuck up siblings. And Richard Kind plays one of their agents. And, you know, he just does a small part, but every time he's on screen, you just start hysterically laughing. That guy is money as his instant laughs. And he can really act. I mean, he's not just a comedian.

He's a really good actor too. Yeah. Rockstar star love that dude i was a little caught off guard that kelso was trying to sabotage the hospital until he explained why he was sabotaging the hospital that was something that kind of threw me like when that was a dun dun dun moment and it caught like i was confused and then what do you mean he's still trying to sabotage the hospital? He was taking the emergency thing off the door because he gets to his car quicker. Yeah. I remember his reason.

His reason is one of the most disturbing jokes we ever made Ken say. Do you guys remember it? He has to get home before Enid. Because if he doesn't, he has to peel her something. It's the word peel. It's leotard.

It's leotard. He has to get home before she's done with dance class or something like that. She has a spin class or something. And if he doesn't get home before her, he has to help peel off her leotard. Yeah. I think it was Jazzercise or something. It's really an upsetting joke. Because you know why? Because he loves Enid, man. We did that joke too because you know why because he loves enid man we did that

joke too many times i think he loves his wife i don't know whether he loves enid he has so much mean things to say about enid yeah yeah like i think by the way what the worst one ever was when that baxter and enid had divided the house into equal sides and the enid enid had ventured into baxter's side of the house and he just said, all you got to do to scare him away is make a real aggressive sudden move. He says, go, and then you just hear

a dog growling and biting and he hangs up laughing. So he had his dog attack her. It's horrible. It's a horrible man. I don't know if that's love, buddy. but does he love enid bill i just don't know i mean it's i don't know what where you uh you know it's weird we we talked a lot about it i think he we never would have been able to do any of this stuff it's so interesting in television

shows if enid existed and if you ever saw a person a sweet woman a character or whatever i don't think i think we would immediately gone he loves her they're okay, and he's awful as shit. But with a second in any type of creative narrative that you don't ever meet the person in question, it gives you such license to be horrific or funny or bizarre and stuff. So it's not unlike, look, you guys know the show that started it. I mean, it's Norm and Vera in Cheers. Yeah, I was about to say this.

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The only one I remember after Norm and Vera from Cheers was, I remember the guy on Home Improvement, which I didn't watch a lot. They did such great effort to always block his face. Yeah. I forget what his name was. What was his name, Daniel?

Wilson. Wilson was the character's name. Oh, yes. Wilson was the guy behind the fence. Yes. Wilson. Anyway, it is called The Other Two Guys. I found it.

It is. Nailed it. My friend Helena York is on it. I highly recommend you guys watch. I laughed my ass off, and I wish there was more episodes, but I guess they're on pause because of... Are Jordan and Cox married? At this point, they are not,

but I have to be careful about that because we do an episode at some point. They find out that their divorce wasn't official, so they get re-divorced. And if you guys haven't done that episode yet, then they are technically still married. Do you guys remember doing a podcast on that episode yet? We haven't done that episode yet, no. I actually wonder when Bellamy came in, I went, oh, is this going to be a love interest for Cox? And Donald was like, no, he's not. He's in a relationship with with Jordan. And then and then this episode started to be like, oh, but they start to have a thing.

I didn't remember what happened between. Yeah. You know what it was is just that we enjoyed for him doing, you know, as he gets closer to Jordan, that very traditional, lots of fears and lots of pulling away so much. So it's the precursor to the episode. This episode helped us with the episode that they're doing great as a couple, but when they find out that they aren't actually divorced, that it was screwed up and they're still technically married, they start to fall apart again.

And that's coming up later. I have a, is that why this is a question? Is that what the purpose of Bellamy's character was on the show? It just seems like that character was there and then all of a sudden she was gone, like really quick. No, you know what it was is, I think, and I can go back, but I think Bellamy started, much like Gift Shop Girl, if I remember her name, that got a bunch of work on Chuck and stuff. Sarah Lancaster. Sarah Lancaster is just, was somebody that immediately started to get work and get other shows i think she joined us because charles was

unavailable and we liked you having a superior uh charles chung you know played dr wen we didn't have him for one year section at one point due to a health issue that he had an accident and broken at one point due to him doing a movie or something. And then he came back to our world. So it was at least initially a product of be nice for Turk to have a boss, you know. And then, you know, we weren't really going to do the romance thing because Cox was with Jordan. Just wanted to have that kind of be an episode real quick. And also she was a good foil for Cox because even if there wasn't going to be a romance or a very mild one, she was like a tough cookie and a woman and someone who had, you know, cojones.

You guys want to say some big ass titties. Wait, what? No. I said cojones, not breast. That's what Turk says when he's freaking in the thing with it. He says big ass titties? He goes in some big ass boobies that's exactly what he says i don't think i think you could say boobies on nbc but not titties

yeah i was about to say it should come hand in hand with the disapproving head shake you got from joelle either way it was fantastic but that's what it was from you guys are thinking i'm trying to freaking make a sexist joke but it's from the show it's from the show you're in your face you're in your uh you know what i loved by the way and bellamy is a great example of it i always love when i because of you guys and i am so grateful and it's your podcast which is annoying it's dan l joel's and donald's podcast oh my god um but not that's right no it's zack's is that it's that it's ax and zacks and zacks i'm so grateful to get to occasionally come on it and see it and

talk to you talk to you guys about and listen to it i go to sleep listening to it one of my favorite things that i know my favorite thing about watching these old episodes are when you see actors and actresses that we caught at a certain point in their lives or careers, not like Richard Kind, who had already done a bunch of stuff, like Bellamy, who had gone to become, you know, the president of the United States. You know what I mean? And so or Sarah Lancaster, who was suddenly, you know, or Masi, you know, who was on Hero. Or Dave Franco or Aziz. To me, that's so fun to see the people that crossed our world and then went on to not necessarily bigger and better things, but just kind of more fun for themselves.

Michael J. Fox, he really launched his career. I know. And to see him get his foot in the door like that and then to do what he did with it. But it was fun, man. That's why I like seeing Bell in the show. Yeah, it's fun. It's fun to go back. It really is interesting the people that were on

Scrubs like you guys probably don't remember this but what's the gentleman's name that's married to Sofia Bagara oh yeah yeah he was a football playing dude that tortured Zach he was on Scrubs he was on Scrubs before he ever blew up

he was in True Blood he wasn't in True Blood yet either. I ran into him before. No, no. I mean, after that. After that. I was trying to remember his name. Joe Manganiello?

Yeah. Joe Manganiello. He was in a segment where he was like a jock, right? And he said something like, let's all go bang or something. It turned out they were gay. I forgot what the joke was. Yeah. And I remember seeing him on that show as a young dude. let's all go bang or something. Like, like they, it turned out they were gay. I forgot what the joke was. Yeah. And,

uh, I remember seeing him on that show as a young dude. Uh, you know, it's just, it's just fun. All these people that kind of cross paths that way. Oh,

Eliza coop who went on to star in 9,000 different things. I think we were one of her first gigs, you know, uh, she was awesome. Um, just makes me happy. So JD just really,

you know, there's this one little subplot we could talk about, about how JD and Danny are staying together solely because they don't want to be alone. And I think that there's probably a lot of people who can relate to that. Maybe now more than ever during a pandemic when they're just like, all right, I'm so over you, but you're just,

you're my pandemic buddy. I can't date anybody else. You sound like my wife. Daniel, give him a but you're totally right though Zach and look this episode was supposed to be jokey but because you asked about the Dr. Cox I distinctly remember

especially since we had Donald and Judy being the couple attached to the hip telling everybody why they suck we were trying to parallel all those things of one universal being alone. You'll almost rather be with somebody horrific than be alone with two. If you aren't alone, you're able to also defeat yourself by going, Oh my God, I'm getting more and more dependent on this person. I need to sabotage it immediately. Dr. Cox. You know what I mean? And it's, it's, and then the Elliot thing,

which is like, oh, we're long distance. So we barely ever see each other. So we can be, we can be exciting and, and, and, and into it in, in two week intervals, because who can't be their best self for two week intervals? You know, there were, there were like all these different examples, but I feel like a lot of people, um, can relate to being in something and feeling stuck. And, and I bet now more than ever where they're just like, Oh, I don't want to be alone. So even though, do you think it's that, or do you think it's because people, a lot of people, uh, fear confrontation and that's something that you just don't want to deal with. Confrontation, I'm sure, and the drama of a breakup, which is always horrible, especially if it's a long relationship. But I just think that there's a lot of people who, like I said, now more than ever because of the pandemic, are kind of like, all right, this has to end.

But this is fine for now, and I'm just going to endure it. And I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. And I think that JD, I think JD in this situation is like my, the love of my life I've realized is making out with a guy that looks like Scott Foley. And she seems so happy. And here I am and I've got Danny and she's, she's just so not for me, but I don't want to be alone. So she's fine. You know? And she's just so not for me, but I don't want to be alone, so she's fine. You know? Right. It would be bad for Donald and I to agree with this in any way as two happily married guys.

No, but you can comment on it. I don't think that's what – I honestly don't think that's what it is. I think, yeah, sure, he doesn't want to be alone, but he keeps telling her to go away. You know what I mean? And so it's not really he doesn't want to be alone. It's just that i don't i don't i i it's it's it's hard to explain like why is he with her then why why i don't i don't know like that's what i'm trying i i i i think the pressure of her being around i don't i'm gonna be honest with you i i i don't i don't know the answer to that but i do know that it's

really weird for him to say i don't want to be alone and then tell her to go away well because he finally has enough i mean she's no no no i mean i mean why before that before like they're at the bar and he's like and this is how the whole conversation comes up they're at the bar and he goes hey you want to play darts and she's like yeah he's like all right go over there there's the board over there. He goes over there. He hates her. Do you want to play darts? Yeah, all right, it's over there.

And she turns around, and she's like, do you really have that? Are you really that miserable when you're around me? And he's like, I don't know. Whatever she says, something like that. He's like, I don't know. And that's how the conversation starts. So I don't know if it's that he's alone. He's scared to be alone because he keeps telling her to get the fuck out of here get the one thing i like about danny is she says something that i that i liked which is um when she's smoking in bed he goes

you never used to smoke like what's going on she goes well i before we dated i was trying to be like my best self and i'm putting on like this character for you but this time I think I'm just going to be like unabashedly myself and and and JD's like sees who this incarnation of a person is he wants nothing to do with it but you know I think it's just fueled by by feeling insecure and looking over at Elliot and and want and trying to make Elliot jealous not wanting to go home and and be sad and lonesome yeah and by the way let way, let's be honest. It's, I think there's a line. It's easy to be with somebody that you, if you're not mistreating them or they're not mistreating you, it's easy to be with someone you don't like, you know,

there's nothing really at stake, you know? And I guarantee you between the five of us, we were all at some point in our lives with a relationship with somebody that we didn't, you know, if some point of the gun to our head and said do you care if this ends that we'd be like no no but it's just do you think when the pandemic do you think when the pandemic's over like truly over there's just going to be a slew of divorces and breakups absolutely i'm surprised they haven't happened yet no i'm sure i'm sure it is happening I bet if you saw a graph of like separation Divorce rates it's climbing but I just think like

It's obviously not going to happen on a day But if it happened they were like October 1st we've officially conquered COVID it's over October 2nd people would be like peace That's a wrap By the way someone should do like a New Yorker cartoon Of a married couple getting their vaccines

Together He's like finally vaccines together and she's like he's like finally the vaccine and she's like I want a divorce all right well we probably need to go to break I know I know it's Bill's job to tell everyone and Bill do you have a couple more seconds we got we got a couple more seconds for break no the uh Bill do you have to go or what can you say? I do have to go. I have to go. Guys, I have to go make television happen.

I was about to say, how many shows you got coming this year? I got a bunch of shows coming. By the way, if you ever read Deadline, if everyone not in the business, Deadline is sort of the most popular trade website, and it announces things that have happened to people. And if a day goes by without Bill Lawrence getting another show, I think deadline's broken. It's crap. I'll do that some other time with you guys.

I'm enjoying this vibe too much and the holidays. And, Zach, that was a very nice present you got Donald. And, Donald, I loved the joke version of it. I hate it. Of your acceptance. But the only thing I'm proud of you, Donald, that in front of Bill you sold the shit out of that joke and fooled me. That's a great moment. But it was mean.

You don't know how much fucking work I put into getting those shoes. Can I tell you, this is why my wife and Bill are like soulmates from another universe, and it'll never happen in this universe, Bill. I'm just putting it out there. But they're soulmates from another universe. Why? She would do that shit? She's the one that told me to do it.

That's outstanding. I was like this. That's so mean. She was like, and I know, and when she said that, I was like, that's something Bill would have told me to do. That's so mean. You know, Bill, I always say to Bill and Krista that they met at mean camp because they love a mean joke. But if you have a backboard of love, if you know it comes from a place of love, it's okay. The blackboard of love.

If you know it comes from a place of love, it's okay. And look, I also want to say, not only am I grateful for this podcast, but I do want to tell Donald and Joelle that my son, Henry, who is, you know, as much of a Star Wars psychotic as you all, did take the time as he was building his Lego Baby Yoda to say, even though he's not super down with this podcast, he would definitely make the star Wars podcast a, a weekly thing in his life. Thank you so much.

Oh my goodness. I don't know why I'm mad at that, but I am. I'm mad. By the way, it hurt my heart. Zach. I know it's fucked up.

I know he, I like him though. Cause he watched Scrubs beginning to end, and my eldest son, Will, not only will he not watch it, but it's a position of pride. He's now – because he's already gone through The Office and Parks and Rec, and now he's just finding, like, other series at the time to watch. I'm like, dude, watch Scrubs. He's like, it's not for me.

But he does – but they both love – but they both are jocks, and they both love Ted Lasso, I assume. They got sucked in by Ted Lasso because it's sports. Yeah, sports. But anyways, happy holiday, happy new year. Thank you, guys. I love you. I'm back every time.

We love you, Bill, and we're going to go to break, and we'll be back. with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine. Hosted by me, Danielle Robay. And me, Simone Boyce.

Listen to Across Generations podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, voices unite and together you know how we do we create magic listen to a cross generations podcast on the iHeartRadio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and we're back by the way um i peloton today, and I got to say, Cody had me laughing my ass off.

He's funny. Which one did you do? I did one that was pretty recent. If you're on Peloton, it's within a couple weeks, or it's definitely, it might even be this year. I don't know. But it was a, it was a, you know, pop ride, you know, pop music ride, 30 minutes. And he just had me laughing.

And Florence and I are in the gym and she's looking over me and I'm spinning. She's like, why are you laughing? I'm like, this guy's hilarious. He's funny. He makes me laugh. I think we should have him on the podcast. I would love to have Cody on the podcast.

Because you know what? I wouldn't normally like just think of a random health, you know, fitness instructor, but because I think he was a standup. Is that his thing? Is that what he did? I think he was a stand-up. Is that his thing? Is that what he did? I think he was a stand-up. By the way, I love that before I took a lot of Cody classes,

questioned that he might be gay or not because this class, he's the gayest gay ever. It's so funny. He's talking about Vegas and he's like, because he was playing that song, Waking Up in Vegas, Miley Cyrus. Is that the song? And he's talking about how as a gay guy, he's like, Vegas is not made for me

because it's all about they give all the hot chicks free entrance into the club and they're trying to make me pay 40 bucks and I ain't trying to pay 40 bucks to get in the club. He went on this whole rant. It was so funny. Anyway, there were different things. There were multiple times. It was like,

you guys, you're working out, and you're sweating your ass off, but you're also laughing because the guy's like a former stand-up comedian. Well, a lot of people listen to fake doctors when they work out, so we don't want them to necessarily switch over to Cody when they're working out. I wonder if Cody is the most used teacher. Probably. Probably.

I think the only way to make this work is if we can get him on the show. Yeah, we can get him on the show. Joel, I want to try and get Cody. I think his last name is Rigsby. Yeah, Cody. Oh, and then he did this whole bit about, he had Celine Dion as one of the songs. And then he had this whole bit about how like, I can see myself listening to this. I'm back in high school.

Tell mom to pull the cassette out of the glove box. Anyway, I mean, I'm not doing it justice, but it was funny. The only thing that annoys me, does this annoy you, all the shout outs to people? Like, while you're spinning, they're like, so-and-so, congrats on your 100th ride. So-and-so, you got this. But it's like we do here. There can be some quiet time. But it's like we do here, There can be some quiet time. But it's like we do here, man.

You know what I mean? We shout out to people like Period and Sargent and Romney. You just gave Mitt Romney a shout out? Ramon. Yeah, I know. By the way, as I was spinning and thinking this was annoying me. Oh, you thought I meant Mitt Romney? Yeah.

No, like Romney Malco, dude. No, I would have. Okay. But I wanted to say that, no, it just annoys me. Like sometimes like it's okay to be quiet, you know? You don't have to give all the shout outs, but I'm going to tell that when we have Cody on the show. I'm going to give him notes. Don't do that.

Even though he's probably the most popular Peloton instructor. Please do not do that. Don't give Cody notes. I give him totally. Don't do that. Even though he's probably the most popular Peloton instructor. Please do not do that. Don't give Cody notes. I give him totally constructive criticism. You don't have to give all these people shout-outs. My sense is

they must have data that people say they like the shout-outs, but it's annoying. I think it's annoying. Like, you don't need to give shout-outs. But if you reached

your 10,000th ride... Right. These people must be in such shape because... 10,000th ride? Holy shit These people must be in such shape because- 10,000th ride? Holy shit, that's like years. You can look on the leaderboard and it'll show you. You can make it go away because I don't like looking at it.

But if you're someone who's probably like Casey, who's like up there- She tries to get to the top of the leaderboard. Yeah, these people, I can't believe how fast and how hard they must be spinning to be at the top of that leaderboard. Because I'm like in the fucking nether regions. I'm like in outer space. Like whoever's number one or number two out of 28,000 and 48. It's probably like,

it's probably what's his name with the professional cyclist that won all the- Lance Armstrong. Yeah, it's Lance Armstrong. With all his fucking steroids in him. Yeah. Yeah, Lance can't compete anymore, but he's just fucking roided up on the Peloton.

Beating his chest. Beating his chest. All right, let's let the guest in, Daniel Goodman. All right. Let's give it up for Tosh Grant.

All right, there she is. Oprah. Okay. Oprah. All right, come on. Daniel, you're going to cut that out. That was so was so annoying people are gonna turn off the podcast daniel i'm not turning my key don't cut that daniel cut that shit out it makes it way low tosh don't turn your key tosh don't turn your key turn your key don't turn it fuck that shit right here's the problem here's the problem daniel is that i'm worried that tosh is not going to get heard by as many people because at that moment they're all going to go

fuck this loud ass podcast oh i think i could actually give donald a run for his money i'm pretty loud okay well we'll just mix it low then tosh you're welcome you're welcome tosh welcome to the show where are you where are you joining us from? I'm from Australia. Oh, Down Under. Yeah. Well, good day, mate. What time is it tomorrow? That's correct. Yeah, it's Saturday morning here. It's 10 past nine in the morning.

Yeah. Welcome to the show. Scrubs was very popular Down Under, Donald. I don't know if you know that. It was? Yes, very popular. I've been to Sydney andney and i felt very very very important in sydney i went and hung out in australia way before i got scrubs it was for remember the titans we went and did press in australia and i found out that clueless was pretty popular in australia too yes they have a good sense of humor down down there Yes. Yeah, I love Australia. I swam in the Sydney Harbor, which is crazy because I hear it's loaded with

sharks. I don't think you're supposed to swim in Sydney Harbor. It's for boats. Why are you swimming? Well, we were going to that little island that's right outside of the Sydney Harbor. We took a boat ride and anchored off the shore of that. And I jumped into the water and swam to the island and hung out on the island.

And so maybe by the island, it was okay. But I don't know if you want to like jump in Sydney Harbor. I don't know. I learned that that water is infested with sharks. Like it's like shark heaven. Like, you know, if it were to happen, if my fear of dying by shark were to happen, that was it right there.

That was the closest chance I got to it. Like, I remember swimming through the waves and back to the boat from the beach and thinking all I was going to see was a big mouth coming from one of the waves to eat me, man. It was like, I was so afraid. Was that in the Bahamas when we did the Bahamas episode? We went swimming at night, like skinny dipping drunk,

and the people were like, oh my God, you guys, that is the prime shark feeding time. Well, no, Rob said that there's two black-tipped sharks that swim at the beach area during that time. The reason why people were clowning us was because it was a thunder and lightning storm outside and we were in the water acting. We were so freaking drunk.

In shark-infested water. In shark-infested waters with a lightning storm happening. Yeah. And we're laughing and everything. And also, that's what happened with Randall and his foot, too. Yeah, just say no to alcohol. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine. Hosted by me, Danielle Robay and me, Simone Boyce.

Listen to Across Generations podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Tosh, what's your question for for any of us welcome welcome welcome hello hello um well thank you how are you guys going um we're we're we're okay we're okay we're glad to be here yeah good how is it over there you guys you guys are out and about though right you're not on lockdown are you you? Well, some states are. So Queensland, which is actually my home state,

the south part of Queensland is in lockdown this weekend. I don't get the whole three-day lockdown as opposed to, like, a longer, a little bit longer period. We did have a lockdown last year, like my city, but that was so minimal. Victoria got hit pretty hard. They were locked down for quite a while. But all in all, we can go about.

We're pretty, yeah, life is pretty normal. We still have little hot spots and stuff that we need to be careful about, but definitely not like other countries. Like the United States of America, you mean? Well, like Los Angeles where like the trees have COVID everything has COVID it's insane it's it yeah it's scary to think this is only normal that's all like we just we're so under LA is so underwater I mean it's uh it's it's such a shame because you'd think I would I would have hoped that um that that hoped that Los Angeles could have done a better job.

Could have been, I mean, I don't know. I live here. I root for the city. You know, it has a lot of problems, but I root for it. And I just, I think it's embarrassing how horribly this has been handled here. Yeah. And it's just been going on for so long now. And honestly, it just feels like there's no

end in sight like this can't be our new normal like we just it's everything just comes to us absolutely grinding halt i think i think that the obvious thing is that the vaccine is going to be the only thing that that unburies us at least that's the vaccine vaccine that daniel said it himself i think maybe daniel didn't say maybe i heard fauci say it and i'm confusing daniel said it himself i think maybe daniel didn't say maybe i heard fauci say it i'm confused with daniel and fauci daniel fauci same you know one of those they're both as they're both as wise on the top they're both wise i know why didn't you say i honored you what the fuck you know you never that's like willis saying something crazy and arnold not saying what you're talking about willis i teed you up for your catchphrase. You honor me, truly.

There's never been, ever, in the history of herd immunity, natural herd immunity. Never in the history of herd immunity. Where we are, the only time the reason why the Spanish flu became non-existent is because of vaccine.

You know what I mean? And that's the only reason. Is that true? I don't know. This is the honest to goodness truth. All right. I trust you. It just sounds like you.

And so now we're at a point where everybody, and this is to each their own. You know what I mean? Do what you want. This is to each their own. You know what I mean? Do what you want. I feel like, and I don't want to conspiracy this situation, but I feel like there are too many people that aren't willing to take the vaccine,

and then there are a bunch of people that are willing to take the vaccine. So to make it so that essential workers, when essential workers are saying, I don't want to take it, or to make it so that even older people are saying, I don't want to take it, there should be a pool then if that's the case, my opinion. Nobody else's opinion, but my opinion. There should be a pool where if you don't want to take it, it goes to the people that do. I think Biden just is saying that he's going to change it. They've been holding the second dose. So like if a hundred doses come in, they hold 50 so that those first 50 that got it can have the second 50.

The second, right. That was the, that was the Trump policy. And Biden, I believe has just announced that they're, they're not doing that. They're going to fucking give out the hundred doses and and and and expect that the other ones are gonna come in on time to to give everyone their second dose i have no idea if that's a good idea or bad but anyway let's let's let's let's refocus on uh our friend from down under uh what is your question uh i just wanted to actually just show you my shirt as well hey Hey. Oh, that's a cool eagle shirt. That's a nice shirt, but that's not a fake doctor's real friend.

Yeah, we don't approve of off-market shirts. You're like the gal on the parking lot that buys the off-brand concert shirts. I'm just kidding. It's cute. I've had it for like five years. I'm just kidding. It's wonderful. She said OG fan.

Yeah, it's OG fan. OG, OG. Go ahead wonderful. She said OG fan. Yeah, it's OG fan. OG, OG. Go ahead. Okay, so my questions. And I was trying really hard not to be lame and actually read them, but, you know, the nerves do kick in a little bit. So, like, your friendship, both you, Zach and Donald, like everyone who knows you and listens to you

and watches the show and what have you, just see that the incredible bond that you both have. And, you know, when you spend so much time with people that you start easily mirroring their behaviours, do you recognise any of your own personal traits in each other? We have a lot of the same catchphrases. Like, we have a lot of the same what you're talking about, Willis, is like, come on, buddy.

phrases like we have a lot of the same what you're talking about willis's like come on buddy and we and we jack come on buddy from a dave chappelle uh dave chappelle uh stand up where he's talking about smoking weed with his best friend chip uh no no no where he's talking about no we were just dead where he's talking about chicken right fried chicken and how he goes to a restaurant and the guy's like, and he says, he sits down and the white waiter comes up to him and he goes, I think I'll have, and the white waiter cuts him off and goes, the chicken. And he goes, what?

How did you know I wanted the chicken? And the waiter goes, my own buddy. Come on, buddy. And so come on, buddy came from that. I forgot that's where come on buddy was taken from we stole it from dave chappelle's stand-up so we stole the money but it it became it became something that we said like for every time somebody was bullshit and we said it and so that's where so we have catchphrases that we but as far as like uh we're two different people you know we have the same sense of humor i i would say that we do share in common but we're definitely two different people well i

would say that's the most interesting thing about our friendship had even had it not um been on display for for nine years is that we couldn't come from more different backgrounds and the exact same stuff makes us laugh we don't have all the same interests obviously um but but but we if we're at if we're at an event or we're at a party or we're in an environment together and something happens whatever the exact same thing will make us laugh we have the same the same thing makes us laugh and we also have like a decade of inside jokes with each other because you know how often are you how often are you spending this much time with your best friend i mean most people never will but we spent so many hours being silly together that was our job it's like our job for a

decade was to like be together and be funny as be as funny as we possibly could um so i think that we just have like i could make a noise and it'll make him laugh because we he'll know he'll know that inside joke you know it's it's it's it's really interesting it's like you know uh i think that that's also what makes our friendship so strong is that it comes from a very happy place and a very uh you know it comes from laughter i think that was the very, you know, it comes from laughter. I think that was the first time we were both, I think our first time laughing together was like, yo, this feels good. Let's, you know, let's keep the ball, let's keep it going.

And we've been together ever since. All right. Next question. Horrible. Okay. And actually I didn't realize this because I'm an actor and I don't, you know, know nothing about. Not yet, not yet.

I really can't see that ever happening. But like even just listening to the podcast, there's certain things that you, Zach, especially, you've done that I go, oh, wow, that's actually not him acting in the show, that's actually him. Your laugh, both your laughs are so infectious yeah cracks me up um so with your actual characters on the show do you think um any of your characters rubbed off on you or did you did you put more of yourself into the character into your own characters i think that they were the reason i

would say the reason donald and i got the parts was that we saw what was so funny about each of the characters and then and embodied them. And then once Bill saw us and the pilot was picked up, keep in mind, you don't write any of the scripts past the pilot until it gets chosen. And you make the pilot and then you wait and then it gets chosen. And then the showrunner, Bill, hires a writing staff and then you go off and make two through whatever. And I think when they made, started making two through whatever, they were able to use the real friendship that had already started between Don and I, and just start, you know, shaping it around who we, who we were.

I think, you know, good writers, um, when they have the opportunity will go, let me write to who that person is and i and i think that little by little you know you know lots of traits of who we are became um who the characters were right don i totally agree with that yeah i ship that i ship. I ship that. I ship that. I thought ship is when you root for a celebrity relationship. Ship is when you put any couple together. A lot's often used when describing fandoms, particularly couples that didn't make it to screen, but you wanted them to. Oh, I see.

So the relationship is. So Donald, I don't think I've ever said this to you, but I think you may have used this term incorrectly. I think I did. I think I i did i want to take it back you've always been my you've always been my sensei when it came to pop culture slang and i think you i'm sorry sir i'm sorry uh jedi master i think you use ship wrong no because there's a relationship between the writers and the actors that you're talking about. So I ship that. Joelle. Joelle, buzzer. Oh my god, I don't like being in the middle.

Alright, Daniel. Daniel, would you put one of those... You know in the family feud? You know in the family feud when you get three exes? Put one of those there, please. Alright. I don't fucking get an ex. Somebody doesn't say. You don't have a fucking survey going right now. This can't be a fucking survey going right now. This can't be a committee.

This is not a committee. There's not enough of us to discuss this as a committee. We asked 100 people if Donald's definition of ship was right or wrong. Survey says what? X. I would like to host one episode. Not one person said that shit, Joel. Not one person.

Not one person agreed with that. I disagree. I disagree. Survey says shut the fuck up, Zach, and. Not one person. Not one person agreed with that. I disagree. I disagree. Survey says shut the fuck up, Zach, and let's move on. All right. That's funny. Survey says shut the fuck up. It's funny.

Does Steve Harvey still host Family Feud? Yeah, he's great at it, too. By the way, Steve Harvey is very funny, but every time he makes me laugh, it's the same fucking thing, which is the deadpan face. Right. The deadpan Steve Harvey look away, the shit where like

someone says something outrageous and he just deadpans looks away. That would make me laugh every single time. It's incredible. And he obviously knows it because he puts it in every Family Feud episode

I've ever seen. Yep. Anyway, I don't know if there's ever like a guest celebrity Family Feud host. Do you ever see, do you ever watch – But I would like to do it.

Do you ever watch – right on. I'm not going to Richard Dawson and make out with everyone. Let's put it out there, y'all. So let's put it into the ether. Family Feud, if you're ever looking for a celebrity guest host, Zach Braff is willing. I've never had a desire to host a game show, but it just came to me that I would be a great Family Feud host.

Because I would do the Steve Harvey, I would just copy. You would do the deadpan? Yeah, I would just be like, Steve, thank you for letting me guest host. You go off on a yacht somewhere. I'm going to do your deadpan Steve Harvey look. You know what? When it comes to Family Feud, that always is the term that is associated with the host.

Go off on a yacht somewhere, because you've got that crazy ass money. I think Steve Harvey has like 11 jobs. And he must have so much money. Don't you think Richard Dawson did too? And don't you think like. Louis Anderson. When he was hosting.

I don't know. I don't know that either of those gentlemen. Were ever as rich as I imagine Steve Harvey is. I imagine Steve Harvey. Like must be so loaded. Because the man. I think he like. He like leaves. One very high paying job job to go do another high-paying job.

Right. Steve is, yeah, I imagine he's very, I don't know. I don't know his bank account, but I imagine he's very rich. Yeah, I think Steve's probably been on a yacht or two. The internet estimates $200 million. Yeah, there you go. The internet's never wrong, Donald. Never wrong. You get a lot of information from200 million. Yeah, there you go. The internet's never wrong, Donald. Never wrong. You get a lot of information from the internet.

Yeah. All right. Let's do Australia's favorite segment, Donald. It's time to fix your life. Hey, Daniel, maybe you can add a little Dizry do in this particular segment. No problem. It's just after it's like... Yeah.

Yeah. After the drill sound effect, Daniel, put a little... You look like you're chugging cock. So did you. The only reason why you said that is because you looked like you were chugging cock. I didn't look like I was. I was just doing this. Yeah, you're doing like this.

Audience, he's got two hands up as though he's giving a blowjob to an enormous cock. I had one hand up, and I had a little tiny hole. No, bro. No, your fake Diz Redo was like. No, man. Your Diz Redo was like that. Sorry, Tash. When you saw your Diz Redo. There's was like that. Sorry, Tash. When you saw your disreduit.

There's two ladies present. Donald, come on. Listen, and Daniel's present, too. Daniel doesn't want to hear this shit. You're the one who started it. Yo, you should put Daniel. Daniel's gone. He's gone.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel's gone. Daniel. Daniel. Oh, don't let your children go. Oh, my God. If you're a Diz Redux player, your family definitely thinks it looks like you're chugging a big cocktail. Oh, my God. For fuck's sake, just stop talking about your willies sorry sorry all right all right it's time to fix your life darling how can we help you oh man um well uh in the same vein of uh

friendships and stuff i have two boys two young boys um a 14 and 10 year olds and they fight all the freaking time like it's just it's to the stage that they're not fisticuffs type fights they just at each other all the time give it give give me my husband some advice like how do we how do we get them to get along it's even to the stage that it's like nearly you're breathing my air type of fight like just crap it's not anything serious well it's good to answer're breathing my air type of fight. Like just crap. It's not anything serious. Well, it's good to answer this because he obviously has many children. Donald,

how do you get your kids to get along? You're young ones right now. What do you do? Well, I really can't answer that because they're out in the back yelling at each other. Like all I hear is my son screaming. They go at it, man. That's, I think that's normal. All I hear is my son screaming. Because she's a man!

They go at it, man. I think that's normal. I think that's all kids. I remember when I was a kid and my brother and I, we used to go at it. For real, for real. I have scars on my body. I had a hole in my head at one point from fighting my brother who's three years younger than me, but he's bigger than me. I can't call him my kid brother or my little brother because he's bigger than me. You know what I mean?

People meet my brother, Dade. They meet my brother, and I'll be like, yeah, I'm his older brother. And they'll be like, I thought you were his younger brother. I did too, by the way. Yeah, see? older brother and they'll be like, I thought you were his younger brother. I did too, by the way. Yeah.

See, like I'm the older, I'm the older one, but Dottie's the one that grew up a little bit harder than I did. You know what I mean? Yeah. He's tough. He's scary. He's tough. You don't want him mad. You don't want Dottie mad at you.

No, you don't want Dottie. That is true. In my life, I've experienced that I prefer when my brother's not upset and in that mode of aggression. Anyway, we fought like crazy when we were kids like crazy uh and it did come to fisticuffs and we would we know we would we went at it and i don't know now he's my best friend you know i when he's in town we play golf every day together you know uh i named my son after him you know like so it's like i know they're at it i know

they're going at it right now but looking at look at it as they're bonding i'm not saying let it go and keep and let them fight each other but there's a lot of love in there and it's it's and even though there's like my son says i wish i didn't have a sister and inside he doesn't wish that shit i see how is there any is there anything tash that they like to do in common regardless even if they do it'll last for like two three minutes and then it's on like one of them will do something and oh and it's really it's actually usually bless him i mean i love my children a bit but um the older one just pushes the younger one's buttons a little bit. And it's, yeah. And my younger one's pretty chilled.

He's not like impatient. I mean, I'm assuming you do the obvious things like, you know, if you do that again, we're taking away your phone or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's a tall order, as Donald can attest to. I mean, again, I don't have kids but it's from from having siblings

kids in that age you know especially boys they're just they're they're just wound up you know that's very hard it's just it's kids period it's kids period like i'm sure joelle remembers you know fighting with her brothers you know what i mean like it's it's it's just how it is whether it's a boy or a girl a girl and a a girl, a boy and a boy, it doesn't matter. They're going to go at it. That's just- My brothers, my two older brothers.

There's not enough space. There's not enough space. I have a memory of my two older brothers. And my sister and I were closer in age and they were older than us. And they would be like the wrestling managers. And they'd get us all, me and my sister, all riled up. And they'd be like, our coach is in the corner. Like, oh, WWF, old school managers.

And they'd be like, you get in there. And my sister would, I would go in the middle of the room and wrestle and pull hair. And then we would scream and get everything we got. And then we'd get too hairy and they'd separate us. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Okay, okay, okay, good. You did good. Maybe don't pull so much hair, but okay, get in there.

Yeah, so your brothers were doing, your brothers were were like remember when we had all of that aggression let's look at let's take shosh and freaking zach and make them do that too yeah and they thought it was hilarious i remember them being like sitting back and laughing being like this is hilarious watching us go out touch do your kids have their own like space oh yeah we actually funnily enough we we moved 12 months ago because seriously 2020 I even forget about that year so I forget that that was 12 months ago um we moved because we're in a really small house and I said to my husband I can't do it anymore we we can't live in a small house the kids are on top of each other it's seriously one would walk into the room and you

could go three two one and then it'd start and you're like oh for god's sake like seriously so we went okay we moved into this big house and it is a big house it's two stories um they got their own space but they find each other and it's just like well stop seeking each other out it's never it's not enough it's not enough room no matter how much space you have it's never enough room. They find each other. Like, my son has a room dedicated just to his self. My daughter goes to that room just to fuck with him. Just to fuck. Well, literally, he'll be like, get the fuck. I'll hear it.

I'll hear her go to the room, and I'll hear, please get out. Please leave, Wilder. Please leave Wilder. Please. She starts it too. Oh, absolutely. He'll start off calm because he knows that, you know, we don't like, I have an issue. If he goes, if something happens and he goes to 100, then there's no real discussion there. You've already gone to a hundred.

See you later. Right? Yeah. then there's no real discussion there. You've already gone to 100. See you later, right? Yeah. So he tries to freaking maintain his composure because he knows 100 means there's, what are we discussing? You're at 100. I can't talk to you like this. You know what I mean?

Please get out. He's practicing. At least he's fucking trying. Wilder, Wilder, please get out of my room i said get out i can feel it coming wilder if you don't get out right now i'm going to kill you

i'm done get out of my room I'm going to kill you. I'm done. Get out of my room! It's like, yeah! And you hear it, and you hear it start, and you gotta get up there before... Get out of my... You know what I mean? It's like, they can't help it.

You know what you need? You need the nanny from that show. What's it called? Mrs. Doubtfire? I'm supposed to dress up like a nanny? No, there was like these shows like Nanny 911 where she comes in. Yeah, you need one of those. They probably have one of those down in Australia.

Yeah. You mean like Mary Poppins? I need Mary Poppins? Is that what you're telling me? There we go. No, there was a show, a reality show, where like a woman who was like british nanny would go and like set set when parents were like i'm out of ideas help me and then she would be like set down stern rules i mean in all seriousness if it does escalate to the point where it's just your life is being affected you might consider um a counselor

getting advice from a professional counselor because i mean i'm sure that some parents you know it's normal the kids are going to fight but if it reaches a point where you and your husband are like what the fuck do we do this is out of control you might you might get you know get some counseling from someone who's a kid specialist who says you know here's some tools because uh i certainly don't know what those are but i imagine someone could can have some jedi mind tricks for your kids well yeah tools tools always they do work they do work they work for a little bit until you forget that you have these tools that have been given to you right right i mean i'm sure that they do love each

other because they do like you know when anything ever happens with friends or at school and stuff like the other ones like in there oh i'll come to school and i'll help you sort that out and it's like no you won't you actually will just pump your brakes but um it's just it's just that they i it's that antagonistic behavior and it just does our head in it's like there's some days there's just no harmony some days are fine this podcast doesn't really have a lot of positive um inspiration to having children don't if i may i don't have i obviously don't have children but i just want to parrot something that casey said before and just start with the question do you allow your kids to play video games oh good of course yes my three games in the house husband and the kids

that's where it starts man my kid gets the most aggressive right after he plays that video game after the video game that's when i get to god God damn, I should have not had in it. I said, Daniel was probably about to say, is there a game they like in common, right? Yeah, that is where I was going.

Some game does stay. Keep them off the games, man. Keep them off the games. Daniel's going to cry. He was going to swipe a tear away. No, Daniel's a grown man.

Daniel knows what I'm sure he knows what video games can do to a grown man and how grown men can be stuck in the game. Like I'm staring at the microphone and I can't get off the game and my whole life is surrounded by a game. Imagine being six years old or seven years old or 12 years old and your life is now involved with all it is is a game. Dude, that shit is, get him off the game. That's real talk. As a parent, I see my son's best behavior

when he's not playing video games. Oh, look, you don't have to tell me twice that. I don't think we're helping today, Tash. We tried, but I don't know if we can say you're welcome, Donald. I think this might be the first time we've been stumped. I can say you're welcome. I can tell her you're welcome. You know why?

Why? You know why? Because everybody's you're not alone in this. This is how kids are. This is how siblings are. And I promise you if they don't kill each other now when they're older, they're going to love each other.

They're going to love each other more than anything. And you nailed it when you said it. If somebody were to beat up on the little one, the older one would be there so quick because only he somebody were to beat up on the little one, the older one would be there so quick because only he's allowed to beat up on the little one. You know what I mean? My one idea would be like, you know,

take their favorite thing away. I mean, like I said, I mean, take their, like, you know, if you raise your voice like that again, your phone's going to get taken away. Take their video game away. I mean, I'm sure you've tried all the obvious things. What do I know? Do you want me to get Casey, Tash?

No, no, no, no. We've run way long. I'll get Casey. No, no, no. Okay. That's your other side. Also, you and Casey are going to do a parenting podcast. I'll set it up.

All right. Listen, Tash, you can stay on for the end because we finished the show. It was a very good one. And what can we tell you? We love you guys, right? Don't we? Yeah, we do. Thank you for listening.
