Hey, guys.
Hey, Donald.
Welcome back.
You know what I realized?
What's that Donald phase on?
I am no longer a priority in my own house.
Listen to how crazy that sounds.
I am no longer a priority in my own house.
What does that mean exactly?
My wife and kids, I really truly believe that they feel like they could find what I do in someone else.
That's particularly frustrating because you're paying for everyone's existence and they're all like, get out of here.
It's just, you know, and I get that.
And my wife would be like, my wife, and I got to give it to her 100%, she'd be like, shut the fuck up.
Try walking a mile in my shoes right now.
Right.
She does put up with your antics a lot.
She's very patient.
It's not antics.
It's not antics.
I think she just understands who I am and what I am.
And she's like, I can live with that you know what i mean
yeah but she does put up you you know you you have your flaws we all do my flaws i feel like
i feel like i feel like and i feel like i'm a little bit different than a lot of people
i feel like you i feel like you're a little bit different. I feel like we're all different in our own ways.
Sure.
And I feel like
my different
she can put up with. She's alright with.
It's enough.
He's not going so far
over that.
She sees the positives. You're a good man.
You're a good dad.
You provide for the whole family.
You make her laugh.
Even though you demand a lot of sex, I'm sure it's good.
I'm sure you know how to thrust.
Oh, God.
You know what's important?
You know what's important for thrusting?
Speaking of thrusting.
Yeah, what?
Stretching?
Exercise.
Do you stretch before sex?
Exercise is important for thrusting. Yeah, what? Stretching? Exercise. Do you stretch before sex? Exercise is important for thrusting.
Yeah, definitely.
If you get your cardio up, you can go longer and harder and don't have to take breaks for water.
Well, that's the thing.
Blood circulates.
Take it from a freight doctor.
Blood circulates better.
Right.
So now that you're back on the Peloton, do you find that your cardio for sex has gone up?
You can maintain your heart rate longer?
You know, like I said, I got my heart rate up to 180-something and stayed in that thing for like three minutes.
If I could do that with sex, imagine that three minutes out.
Yeah. Oh, my that. Three minutes out. Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Three minutes.
Oh, na-na.
What's my name?
Oh, na-na.
What's my name?
Oh, na-na.
What's my name?
What's my name?
What's my name?
Oh, na-na.
What's my name?
Oh, na-na.
What's my name?
Oh, na-na.
Three minutes?
Are you kidding me?
What's my name?
What's my name?
I just feel so bad for Casey.
What's my name?
I just feel so bad for Casey. What's my name? I just feel so bad for Casey.
Oh, man.
What's going on, man?
What's going on, listeners?
Hi, thanks for joining us.
Hi.
I was waiting for them to say something back just now.
Hi, listeners.
Hey, we got Randall Winston on the show today.
Should we just invite him in off the bat?
Because he's a, what is is he he's a crew member he's a producer he gets early
invitations you don't want to just go into the five six seven eight no we got more to talk about
with randall okay well then let's bring him in five six seven maybe we give it to randall we
don't know what's gonna happen you never know Well, let's hold off on that five, six, seven.
See, we can say it.
Daniel, we can say it and trust that you know that when it's time, it's time.
It's only Bill that automatically triggers the music when he says it.
Is Randall here?
I'm here.
I'm here.
Oh, there he is.
There he is.
Looking good.
You don't age.
We got Randall Winston.
We got Randall Winston.
We got Randall Winston.
We're in awe.
He's so fucking busy, but he's on our podcast.
We got Randall Winston.
We're in love. Oh, damn. Oh got Randall Winston. We're in love.
Oh, damn.
I like that. Randall, you do not age.
You look like Benjamin Buttons.
You're going backwards.
You are kind, sir.
Now, a lot of you, just to refresh your memory, Randall is one of our producers, our line producer on the show.
And if you're thinking, you may have, but he also played Leonard,
the security guard. He also played, he also played death. Now, Randall, I don't want the
listeners to think, why did they give Leonard the security guard an episode to direct? That's not
what happened. Randall is the producer of the show and, and knew it better than anyone. And
Randall, was this your very first
time directing an episode of television i know you've gone on to direct lots of television but
is was this your first one yes it actually i that was my first uh prime time television show i was
i was trying to remember um and then when i re-watched it i i uh i it was it was a big deal
it was a lot of fun and it must be fun to look back on it now.
I mean, it's fun just to look back on all of them now,
especially when you're looking back at the very first episode of TV you ever directed.
It must be cool.
It's huge.
But, you know, and it's also such a reminder of, I mean, obviously,
all things Scrubs being great and how amazing everybody there was
and how collaborative it is just to be in that position.
I mean, you guys were great and generous, you know,
as you are to each other as actors, but then to me as a director.
And everybody, every department head I felt like had my back, you know.
I mean, there's some big shit in there.
Out of everybody, you might be one of the most prepared people to direct at that moment in time.
You know what I mean?
Right.
With all the experience that you had from being with Bill in New York, from coming to L.A. and doing other shows.
And at this point, you knew the ins and outs of it all.
You had sat on set for hours, over 000 hours easily you you you had observed so
it was obvious and also he's so you were so beloved by the crew so you know you saying the
crew was rooting for you was an understatement i mean everybody loved you so much i mean this
is season three we've all partied together by at this point i was trying to remember a line
a line producer just to remind them just to remind the fans who don't know the business party together by at this point. Oh man, I was trying to remember which wrap party was this.
Just to remind the fans who don't know the business,
the line producer is sort of the nuts and bolts producer.
They're dealing with the crew. They're
looking at spreadsheets. They're
the one concerned about the money and
how much is going in, coming out. They're the
ones that are really, you know, on
the front lines with the crew. And
a lot of times the crew doesn't like the line producer because
their job is to say, no, you can't have that. But Randall managed to do it in such a way that
everybody loved him. I love that you say it that way. And I think part of it is, again,
it goes back to the collaboration. I never have an agenda to say no. I have an agenda to say,
what's the best thing for the show? And, you know, to the writers, like, what supports the funniest moments?
Like, let's get the most we can into the box that we have to fit it into.
My favorite kind of line producer never says no off the bat.
They go, okay, that's a big ask.
Let me see what we can do.
And then they go, like, okay, you can have that if you give up this.
Like, if you shoot an eight-hour day, you can have the giant techno crane.
There's a negotiation.
A total Chinese menu.
But in the role of producer and when you were directing,
I always got a kick out of before the script was out came the ask.
Yeah.
Well, because I love camera toys and gadgets and all the expensive shit. So when I was directing, I wouldn't have even read the script was out came the ask yeah well because i love camera toys and gadgets and all the expensive
shit so i do i wouldn't when i was directing i wouldn't have even read the script to be like
randall we need a 50 foot techno crane um we're definitely gonna need this we're gonna need that
like i just like i just was pre-ordering all my gadgets for uh for the show even if everything
was in the hospital you would figure out a way to get a crane oh yeah involved where it'd be like
okay well let's start at the front door and then I'm going to crane up from the
front door to the second wind floor window.
But you know what?
But to your credit,
you know,
it made some for some cool shit.
Yeah.
I mean,
I love,
I love cinematography and I love is particularly in scrubs.
You know,
the camera was a character.
We always said that the way the camera moved was a character in the show so for me it was like oh i want to give that character
a leading part in my episodes because i love cool shots i love going oh what if we you know the
obvious way is to shoot these two people you know at the railing talking snore what's a what's a
what's it you know and obviously some moments need to be simple and static but to me i'm always
especially in the language of of of scrubs and the way the camera moved, I was always like, okay, what's the out-of-the-box cool way to shoot this moment?
Well, I think there's actually a great example of maybe I was inspired by all that you're saying as far as making the character and trying to use the visual language in this episode.
But I had to go low-tech,
and it's that last scene where we're at the rehearsal dinner.
I don't know if you remember, but it was late,
and it was cold, and not everybody had a line.
Nobody wanted to be there, and we had to do this stunt.
And the set was so small, but I wanted this big opening shot and the grips built like a ramp in
the set for the steady camera to walk down the ramp and around the table,
you know, so that we could have this, uh,
I do remember that. I do remember that.
I do. All right.
So we should count in because Donald said,
should we count in before Randall? And I said, no,
I want Randall to count in.
And now we've lost track.
This is all prologue.
We haven't sung our theme song.
Randall, will you count us in with a 5, 6, 7, 8 to lead us in song?
This is where it fell apart last time.
Here we go.
5, 6, 7, 8. show we made about a bunch of dogs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate i said here's
the stories that you all should know so gather round to hear our gather round to hear our
i can't talk about this yet on the show but uh so'll cut it out. But I think I'm going to work with one of your buddies.
Awesome.
Which one?
I got offered the – I didn't tell you guys this.
We have to cut it out of the show, Daniel.
But I got offered the –
Yeah!
You're going to cut out all of that.
But, yo, holy shit
And it's an
What?
Cut growing computers
Oh my god
That's amazing, Zach
How big is that?
That's so fucking awesome
That's shit, man
I'm so excited
Holy shit
Congratulations
That's awesome
That happens
Awesome
There you go
I have to lie down
That's great
Such good information So excited So fly Wow That's awesome. That happens. Awesome. There you go. Anyway. I have to lie down.
Such good information.
So excited.
So fly.
Wow.
Anyway, I don't know how you're going to tell that story, Daniel, without, you can probably tell.
It's just going to be all this.
It's going to be like a Snoop Dogg record in the 90s on the radio.
No, with beep.
With beep.
Anyway, because that was all.
Sliggity diggity.
Anyway, because that was all beeped, we'll just say that I got a really cool role that I'm excited about.
And we'll tell you more about it once it's announced.
Awesome.
And it's six degrees of Randall Winston because he knows one of the key players.
So, Randall, when you're directing, do you direct as Randall Winston or do you direct as Leonard the Security Guard?
I like to live as much of my life as Leonard the Security Guard as I possibly can.
The best part is that I can take the hook off and still function.
Yes, very lucky that you can take the hook off.
But, you know, I miss the fro.
I miss my fro.
Could you ever grow an afro, like, back in the day?
When I was a child?
Yes, of course.
I mean, I had a fro.
Come on, man.
You know, but it was a big deal.
No, I didn't know if it was like your beard, Donald,
how it comes in patchy, like Cliff Clavin's. You can eat a dick, man.
Listen, this is what happens with puberty.
When you're a child, usually, for the most part, you have a full head of hair.
It's as you gain pubescence.
Is that the right way to say it?
I don't know if gain pubescence is as you go through puberty.
I don't think it's as you gain pubescence.
I like that.
It sounds good, though, right?
It does sound good.
As you gain pubescence.
Wait, so you're telling me something I didn't know.
You're saying that African-American hair doesn't grow as thick post-puberty?
No, I'm saying for all human beings, it has nothing to do with African-Americans.
We were talking about Afros.
Why are you taking this aggressive tone?
Because everybody's motherfucking hair grows when they're fucking before they go through puberty, Zach.
Before they start losing the shit, Zach.
What are you a fucking?
Yes, you're Charlie Brown.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
It doesn't have to.
Come on, bro.
Come on, buddy.
You're saying.
You're saying.
Come on, buddy.
What does puberty have to do with it?
Ass face?
You know what it has to do with.
Once you go through puberty, that's when you start to get the hair.
That's when all things start to grow.
And when the things start to grow, guess what happens after that? It starts to fall out. If that's when you start to get the hair. That's when all things start to grow. And when the things start to grow,
guess what happens after that? It starts to
fall out if that's your future.
If that's how it is for you in the future, that's how
it is. Just because you have a full head of hair
doesn't mean you need to all of a sudden start
discriminating against us with
less of, okay?
You don't need to start doing that.
Okay, Randall, help me here.
I just bought my son his first pick.
Wow. Because, you know, help me here. I just bought my son his first pick. Wow.
Because, you know, during COVID, his hair is spectacular.
But it is a little wild.
So I'm trying to, you know, because when I was his age, I, you know, had the pick.
I had the pick that you put in.
The pick that folds up.
The pick with the fist.
Yeah, I was about to say, does it have the fist?
And then my mother, you know mother made us carry
a silk scarf so once you picked it out
you could get it perfectly round
and whip that thing off
What do you do with the silk scarf?
That was so that you didn't
have any errant curls
when you padded a silk scarf
on it, it got you that perfect Jackson 5
So you'd have the perfect
microphone dome.
Exactly.
Well, let's
jump into the episode. Donald, do you have your recap?
Were you able to do that today?
Oh,
boy, I did do it. But this, I'm gonna tell you
something right now. At this point,
the show is now the same shit
every episode, man. Every
show, it's the same few things
you know what i mean what do you mean why are you dissing scrubs i'm not dissing scrubs this is how
this is how i guess this is how storytelling becomes you find different ways to tell the
same story over not the same story i should say the same uh message over to say the same message
over and over again you know what i mean like in this one
i'll start with the recap hold on hold on can i get my timer ready come on man there is at least
one person on earth who cares about the time it's always either love i'm just saying this it's always
either love it has something to do with relationship it has something to do with work
there's like a top 10 of things that we, so far up to season three,
that we always touch on when it comes to Scrubs.
You can count on, there's going to be a death episode.
You can count on these things in the 22 to 24 episodes.
It took you this much time to realize
that Scrubs follows a basic formula?
Well, no, it's not that it follows a basic,
you're an asshole, dude.
And I guess this is the perfect-
There's going to be a moment where you laugh. laugh there's gonna be a moment when you cry there'll probably
be a fucking gavin degrasse song at the end i guess this is the but this is the basic form
this is the basic reason for a recap like you know it's like how do you let's get into it let's all
right here we go on your marks get set go elliot and jd are back together for the time being. Carla and Turk's family are in town for their wedding vows.
Cox and the janitor go to war, and Kelso loves clicky-top pins.
Where and how you find your happiness is up to you.
Don't fear it when you feel it coming your way, and don't confuse it with comfort.
It's amazing to be overwhelmed with happiness.
It's amazing to have your tank filled to the max with joy.
But the most amazing part of the pursuit is when you find someone that makes it so that you don't have to generate your own happiness.
Because they bring the happiness to you.
Preach.
Preach.
It's Trudeau.
What's going on with Turk here?
He can't. So this is, though. What's going on with Turk here? He can't.
There's.
So this is the thing.
This episode's about.
He can't articulate why he's.
He's so in love.
Yeah.
And JD can't understand why, you know, everything's perfect.
Everything's right.
He's in happy.
He's found his happiness, but he can't enjoy it.
He's impossible. Articulate but he can't enjoy it he's impossible articulate turk can't
articulate it cox cox is confused by you know what is happiness and what is you know what is
what is and you know his whole conflict in his relationship you know that's you know it's it's
a conflict but that conflict is what makes him happy and the same thing with the and the same
thing with the janitor the janitor just lost had a big l to somebody who's only been working at the
hospital for freaking two months if anything you know what i mean for two months yeah and he's like
i need a win what can i do to win now like everybody's cocks in a morgue drawer right
that's what he does everybody's in. Everybody's in the pursuit of it.
And Kelso's is, you know, where's my, I need a clicky top, man.
A clicky top would make me so happy.
What are you going to say, Randall?
Donald caught up with it. I was going to say that the joy and the honesty of Cox's relationship is what he's wrestling with.
You know, so I guess in some ways,
all the stories are about people being honest with themselves about what it is.
I felt so frustrated with JD in this episode.
It's weird watching yourself as a character
this many years later and like, oh, this fucking guy.
Like, it's so, it's so, I feel so bad for Elliot.
I mean.
Ah, yeah.
I mean, it's just so frustrating.
I can't believe watching this episode that she ever fucking gave him another chance.
I mean, it's so fucked up.
You do.
I remember thinking that at the time.
Like, you know, stop fucking with her, JD.
Yeah.
Why would she ever?
If this were real life.
I mean, granted, people give the people they love a zillion chances.
I know that,
but Stockholm syndrome.
Yeah.
It's just,
it's just,
I'm watching this going and knowing that we eventually end up together.
Sorry,
spoilers,
but I'm like,
what the fuck?
Why the one person?
Yeah.
That one,
that one person that's the one person that's listening,
but has never watched the show.
I'm sure there's people listening that I think I know for a fact fact there's people that listen to this that have never watched Scrubs.
They just like us shooting the shit.
But what if they're listening and watching along and you just fucked it up?
Well, anyway, sorry.
But anyway, I genuinely got upset.
I'm like, why the fuck would she ever go back with this guy?
He's such an asshole.
I mean, he really broke up this great thing she had with Scott
Foley, for God's sakes. Look at him.
And he's a
good man and he loves her and they're moving in
and he's just
not neurotic and crazy
like JD. He's a marine
biologist and he
treats her amazingly and
JD fucking blows the whole thing
up. Then at the engagement party for at the,
what is it?
The,
the,
the pre dinner,
what do you call it?
It's the wedding dinner,
the dinner,
the rehearsal dinner,
rehearsal dinner.
Yeah.
It's funny.
You call rehearsal dinner.
Cause you don't always rehearse.
It's just the thing.
No,
well you go over the,
yeah,
you go over the itinerary.
Oh yeah.
Sorry.
Randall,
you've married a lot of people.
So,
you know,
I married Donald. I know. Oh, yeah. Sorry, Randall. You've married a lot of people, so you know.
I married Donald.
I know. Donald and Casey.
At your house.
I know.
I know.
Best day of my life.
I'm looking right now at the spot where I was papped with the – what's her name?
Jessica Simpson.
Bam.
Randall, I just – what are your thoughts on that?
Because I just – I'm watching this and I'm going, I understand it's a TV show.
It has to have drama.
But I'm like, this is so fucked up.
But it's also a big episode also.
You know what I mean?
You literally have a...
The episode before the finale is always the one
where you have to set up and deliver that message before it goes into it.
So it's like you were given a juggernaut, dude.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it sets the table for the season finale.
It was a big deal.
If you were asking me story-wise, Zach, about I did feel I felt very bad for Elliot and
wondered what the hell JD was
doing. But there's also a big part of the episode
where it sort of takes a back seat
where you're being very conciliatory
and just letting her have her
win so you get to
enjoy the janitor
and
Cox fighting
and Donald fighting with his future brother-in-law,
Freddy Rodriguez, I think, who was on Six Feet Under.
It was fun to have him on the show.
Like Marco.
The episode opens with a couple of my favorite things,
which is the arrival of the janitors.
That awesome van when you see everybody come out.
There's my namesake, Randall, played by Martin.
Martin, clever.
Who just beat the janitor.
And I think when the brother-in-law pulls up in that farm truck with the sheep in it.
Why wasn't a farm truck, first of all, with only one sheep?
Like it was a goat herder who had only one sheep?
That's because the line producer, Randall, told the director,
Randall, he could only have one sheep.
I think it was culturally sensitive, clearly.
But the sheep, I'm going to tell you, was on cue every time.
Every time, right. That's a Hollywood sheep. That's a to tell you, was on cue every time. Every time, right.
That's a Hollywood sheep.
That's a Hollywood sheep.
He knows his cue.
It bleated at the same time I was in awe of the sheep.
So wait, Marco, I'm just trying to follow what happened here.
Marco was at the airport and Turk didn't pick him up.
And so he flagged down a farmer?
I don't understand what happened at LAX or wherever we're supposed to be. I don't understand what happened at the airport and Turk didn't pick him up and so he flagged down a farmer? I don't understand what happened at LAX or wherever we're supposed to be.
I don't understand what happened at the airport.
That's a little known fact that in San Defrangelis
the airport
is near a farm.
Maybe Marco
started walking
and someone felt bad
for him. I don't know. But they wouldn't let him
ride in the cab.
They were like, get in the back with us.
Now, I want to say something.
Before we even get to the arrival of the janitors, which is hilarious,
and the very first time we see the janitor's bizarre van,
we have an appearance by the soup Nazi from Seinfeld.
Now, Randall, how did this come about?
How is the soup Nazi Tara Reade's new love interest?
I mean, like so many things in Scrubs, it was just like, I think, a fever dream.
It was like you just wanted to have the soup Nazi on the show.
And, you know, the other thing that I think is great about the beginning of the show is we're in season three and we are you in particular masters of micro
stunts like how many times do you fall or jump out of bed between you know in the cold open
yeah you toss elliot and then you leap out of bed and then when you're coming back and trying to do
the clothes and fall behind the couch that's a very funny uh sequence by the way for those of
you don't remember um elliot's a very deep sleeper, and JD is like manhandling
her around because he wants to go ask
his ex, Danny, some questions
before 9 a.m. when Elliot's alarm goes off.
So the physical comedy with Sarah
was really funny. She was like,
she does not wake up, no matter what,
even after I smack her ass, she's just snoring.
And
getting,
I'm sorry
I forgot his name, Soup Nazi on the show
was
it's
he didn't want to do it
really? nobody ever wants to do it
that's the crazy shit
he doesn't want to say his catchphrase
I'm sure, it's like JJ from Good Times
he didn't want to say Dynamite
JJ didn't want to do it Soup. didn't want to do it.
I thought J.J. said it would cost more money.
It was.
I remember it was more money.
I think we had the same thing with Gunther.
Anyway, so we got one no soup for you,
and it's baked into the scene because you trick him at the end.
Oh, but he really didn't want to say it uh he really didn't want to say it and then and then i and then but
he was in a couple of episodes if you remember correctly yeah i think we had him back and that
might have been part of um oh i don't know it's you know this is a very interesting thing because
we had something his name is larry his name is larry thomas sorry this happened later on uh again and it didn't work out but it turned into a very funny segment
and shout out to the brother that played uh old mc old mc you know what i mean shout out to the
brother that played old mc because we wanted young mc to come in and do it. And Young MC was too proud to come in and play himself and say, bust a move.
He would not do it.
He would not do it.
I, in producer mode, pulled out all my tricks.
Because there were a few people across the years that didn't want to do something.
And promises were made.
You know, promises were made.
Randall, speaking of cameos,
Scrubs Wiki claims that you said that Billy Crystal donated the clip
from when Harry met Sally
because he was a Scrubs fan.
Is that true?
Let's go with yes.
I ran into Billy Crystal once
and he seemed to be a fan of the show.
I don't know if this little anecdote is true or not on Scrubs Wiki.
That sounds about right.
I was actually trying to remember when we had the clip because I had studied up on my Billy Crystal trivia.
I had studied up on my Billy Crystal trivia,
you know, how he got into the business.
And when he was a kid,
they used to stick quarters to his head.
And like, you know,
usually having some personal knowledge on the way in was helpful.
Yeah.
Well, that was great.
That's one of the best movies ever still to this day, man.
Have you watched it recently?
Anyone?
It's still so freaking good. Joelle, come on. Every year for New Year's. It's the best movies ever still to this day, man. Have you watched it recently? Anyone? It's still so freaking good.
Joelle, come on.
Every year for New Year's.
It's the best New Year's movie.
It's so precious.
You know what's funny?
A lot of people are watching Endgame for New Year's.
But yeah, when Harry Met Sally works too.
Now that you're saying that, it is kind of funny that in the episode,
you know, we see the scene and then that's the toast that gets you busted in the end.
Because when I'm watching the episode, and maybe this happens to people all the time during Scrubs,
I feel like there are so many little phrases that are catchphrases.
Like, you know, how many times do people I know say, oh, I like special birthday sex.
Or clicky tops with twisty fins.
Yeah.
There's a zillion things that were from the ridiculous to just earworms.
I really don't like twisty bottoms.
I find them very annoying.
I prefer a clicky top.
I'm much more on a clicky top. I prefer a clicky top. I'm much more on a clicky top.
I prefer a clicky top also.
Because also you can play with a clicky top with your nervous energy.
I hate a twisty bottom.
I feel like a twisty bottom always reverts to untwisted while you're using it.
Or in your pocket.
And then you have ink on your shirt.
Yeah.
I want to ask you this.
When Judy enters for the first time in this episode,
when she enters, it's like a breath of fresh air.
Her hair's brand new.
She's bright and pink.
She looks beautiful.
I never seen her hair like that.
You know what I mean?
Like everything is like, and she's very excited about the wedding.
This is a director's question.
Was this something that you were like,
this is a moment for her at that?
Or was this, you know, something that she was like, I'm just going to wear my hair straight?
Like there was just something really beautiful about her at that and exciting about her at that moment.
It was very exciting.
I wish I could take more credit.
I think that was a lot her.
I think the one thing that I may have played a part in is, if you recall, season three was all about hair.
Because remember, Sarah had gotten her hair redone
at the top of the season.
And so Judy had been, I think, anxious to also have some.
Oh, Judy was like, where's my makeover?
Some opportunities to audition some different looks.
Well, she looked great.
By the way, she's coming on for the season
three finale. Judy's
coming on for the wedding next episode.
Mrs. Turkelton
will be on. I know our fans have been
clamoring for more Judy Reyes, right,
Joelle? Yes, absolutely. I get
a lot of messages from Judy. Where is Judy?
Why isn't Judy back? What's going
on? And I was like, I feel you.
I'm in the same boat.
So I'm glad we got her.
Everybody, she's back for the finale and the wedding.
Don't ever say we don't give you what you want.
Yeah.
Don't ever say that.
All you got to do is harass Joelle
and we'll eventually acquiesce.
Yes.
That's facts.
But please don't harass her, harass her.
Well, don't harass her.
Harass her with love.
Gentle harassment.
Yeah, don't harass her like a politician walking through the airport.
That is very much like how scrubs operated.
You know, people who used to harass enough to get on the show or stand at the gate long enough to get on property and then get a tour.
Or in Leonard's case if they wrote
me a fan letter they got all kinds
of shit
did you get fan mail as Leonard?
oh yeah I mean not oh yeah I got
a lot but I got some and I was very
excited about it it may have come from a prison I can't
say
was anybody ever like a carton of cigarettes please
Randall I would love a signed
headshot
of you as Leonard, if you don't mind.
I would love that too.
That would be a great
birthday gift, actually.
That's a great gift.
All right, Randall, you know,
next time you want to give me a present,
I just want to...
The hook on your chin.
You know what?
I'm going to sign it.
I'm going to sign it.
That's what happened.
That's what happened.
So that's what happened.
Danny says to the Soup Nazi, it's five to nine.
That Den Romlet's not going to make itself.
That was great.
That was fine.
That was great.
That was great.
That was great.
I mean, the Tara Reid arc, another crazy moment in pop culture and Scrubs history.
I know.
I just love how much, how game she was to just kind of be funny and be an annoying character.
We dressed her as a cigarette.
I know. That was the last episode.
How does that work? Because I know at some point it's like,
dude, we gotta, like,
you gotta shit her, get her off the pot.
Because she's in, like, nine
episodes, something like that.
Nine to ten episodes. And at that point,
it's like, well, what do we do? Do we make her a regular?
Do we, you know what I mean?
Like, this character is so, how do we,
you know what I mean? She's a part of the, you know, she's in Jordan's family. It's like, how do we just know what i mean like this character is so how do we you know what i mean she's a part of the you know she's in jordan's family it's like how do we just make her disappear and the question
the answer is you just stop writing for her but you know like she was so funny it's like that
could have went on for a really long time is my point yeah yeah i mean i think she could have
look she could have come back at any time.
Oh, really?
Were you guys like, it's an open invitation?
Just, you know.
Oh, from that perspective, it was.
You know what I mean? Because like at some point, at some point it's like, well, we're not going to pay you anymore.
Well, so would you mind hanging out?
I'm sure she was expensive.
Yeah.
It's like the story.
It's not like the story ran out.
It's just that it's like we said it was only going to be nine episodes.
So is that how that works out?
A lot of times it's like that.
With her, it was really, I mean, you have to remember that we were in that time.
I mean, wasn't that also sort of the time when Paris Hilton was getting popular?
when Paris Hilton was getting popular and like she,
I feel like she was a popular party girl because it was pop culture. Like it was a,
a moment.
And like,
I don't think there was any request for her to be a regular.
And I think she was just having,
I think she was having fun doing it and did not see it as a long-term play.
Yeah.
She did. Like I, but that's interesting. Cause whenever I go into a-term play. Yeah, she did it.
But that's interesting, because whenever I go into a job,
that's how I look at it.
I'm like, all right, look, if I can wow these fuckers long enough,
they'll continuously think about me every time they are,
every time they're thinking of, you know, like,
if I can convince them not to kill this character, like that's, like
if they're going to kill a character in a movie, my
goal when I get there is to somehow
convince the writer, don't fucking kill
this character, dude.
I tell the Neil Flynn
story all the time. He was
a bit part
in the pilot. Right.
And Neil's the ultimate example
of that. He was like so funny that bill
made him a regular that's my goal every time i get it every time i get a job my goal is to somehow
wow whoever is running the thing enough to be like you know what we should hire donald faze on again
it doesn't always work you know what i mean but i do the same thing zach has anybody ever done a tally on how many times you've fell how many times you did
well no but i i would i would just take the number of episodes like you don't got that
take the number of episodes and multiply it times like three there's some pretty funny
falls in this one the one the one taking off my clothes to hurry back
to get into bed with Elliot, that was funny.
That's my favorite.
I would have such fun with it
because I knew if the mat was thick enough
and could be hidden, I wouldn't get hurt.
So I could really just,
I mean, sometimes you couldn't hide the mat
and it would hurt or it would be a stuntman.
But that fall with me twisting with my clothes off
and falling, that was my specialty.
And then you dive.
And then this.
Yeah.
I want to talk about a lot more things, including the arrival of the janitors.

I used to have so many men. How this beguiling woman in her 50s. She looked like a million bucks.
With zero qualifications. She had a Harvard plaque. Tricks her way past a wall of lawyers
and agents. She's got all of these
Maseratis and Bentleys
all in the driveway. Is it like a mansion?
Yes, it's a mansion. That this
queen of the con uses to
scam some of the biggest names
in professional sports out of
untold fortunes. About
six million. Approximately eleven
million dollars. Nearly ten
million dollars was all gone.
Employing whatever means necessary to bleed her victims dry.
She would probably have sex with one of her clients.

And we're back!
We're back!
Gargle, gargle, gargle.
I'm so upset this has become a regular thing.
I'm sorry, Jewel.
We're going to stop it.
But I do want Dan to play a little bit of the Disreduce right here.
So, Randall, we're going to stop it. But I do want Dan to play a little bit of the Disney Zoo right here. All right.
So, Randall, we discovered that when you play the Disney Zoo,
you look like you're chugging a giant cock.
Sorry, Randall.
Sorry, Randall.
There's so much to process there.
Sorry, you don't have to weigh in.
There are so many people around that region who fucking hate us right now for saying that.
No, they know it.
They know it.
They like truth.
They like truth.
You think to do that still on the top of the mountain with the motherfucking Diz Redux?
I think if there's a Diz Redux player in your family, you've been hiding that you want to tell them it looks like it looks like they're chugging a giant little
pipe smoking it gives new meaning new meaning to the land down under yeah nice randall yeah
all right listen so the arrival of the janitors i think it's hilarious that even the black janitor
has neil's hair on 100 it's so funny they all come
out of the back of this very odd van i mean was it your i found that van i picked that so you
pick the van by the way that van i know i'm not allowed i'm made fun of for talking about the
first episode i directed which is a masterpiece but that van is featured prominently when Donald and I go on the quest and the janitor kidnaps us.
Yes, that's right.
Special van.
So how did you find that van?
Do you remember where it's from?
It's not an American thing.
It can't be.
No, that detail I don't remember.
Didn't he have the A-Team van or something like that at some point?
Yes.
Because we blew that van up or something
something happened to that green van and so we had to pick a new van for him and i think actually
i think i directed the episode where the a-team van premieres also so that's the second van
i love it but anyway this this van was cool by the way, David Hasselhoff is selling his personal kit car at an auction.
I think we need to get it.
For charity?
I'm going to assume it's for charity, or maybe it's for his own wallet.
I don't know.
You see how judgmental we got real quick?
I don't know.
Maybe he's just selling his car.
We all got so judgmental real quick.
He's selling the kit car.
For charity?
Well, I mean, yeah.
I mean, fuck it.
If David Hasselhoff wants to make some money off his kid car, let him do it.
No, I know.
I know.
No doubt.
No doubt.
If he wants to make the money for himself, that's all to the good.
But it's interesting that that's where we all went.
How much do you think David Hasselhoff's own kid car goes for?
First of all, A, is it like a tricked out prop one with all the gadgetry inside?
Hell no.
That shit doesn't exist, man.
Oh yeah, it does.
You go on eBay.
Bro.
There's no way there's a street legal fucking kit out there.
There's no way.
I'll bet you anything.
A street legal version?
A street legal version?
Yeah, people, just like the DeLorean, people have bought these cars and tricked them out
to specs of the perfect prop.
So the car drives itself?
No, it doesn't drive itself. It's just got all the
gack, all the set dressing.
Although now it probably could.
I know, it could now. That's true.
I wouldn't mind a DeLorean, man. That DeLorean
still looks badass, man, to this day.
Every time I see a DeLorean on the street,
like every few months, you'll see one drive by
and I'm like, I want one.
The problem with them, I'm told, is they don't sell parts
for them anymore. So you kind of have to like, or your mechanic has to like jerry-rig other parts.
Oh, I thought they did sell parts for them.
I don't think so.
I think if you have a DeLorean, you're on your own.
I thought you were going to say, every time I see a DeLorean, I think about cocaine.
Wait, why do you think about cocaine when you think of a DeLorean?
This is a good reveal.
And go. Because DeLorean, that, Randall, this is a good reveal. And go.
Because DeLorean, that's what he got busted for.
The guy.
Oh, I thought they ran him out of business.
I thought all of the car owners didn't like the fact that there was this.
Well, I mean, that's probably the real reason, but the FBI bust was all around drugs.
Oh. Oh.
I got to read what Joelle just sent us.
Kit is currently in the UK.
And whoever wins the lot is responsible for paying the shipping costs of getting Kit back to the United States.
The auction estimate is between $175,000 and $300,000.
Here's the catch.
If bidding exceeds 25% of the $975,000 reserve price, wait, what?
David Hasselhoff personally delivered the vehicle to its new owner.
But I'm confused about that.
The reserve is $975,000, meaning he's not going to release it.
But this doesn't make sense, though, because this says $975,000 is the reserve, which feels very high for the car. For a kit?
Really? You were
just talking about how
awesome it would be to have a tripped out
freaking brand new kit.
Well kit for $175
that is the kit
that Hasselhoff owns
seems like. Does the guy
who did Kit's voice, do you get
him too?
He can come inside the box in the car. I love that guy. He was on Scrubs and he was does the guy who did Kit's voice do you get him too?
he was on Scrubs he was on Scrubs
he was on Scrubs and he was on St. Elsewhere
forgot his name
but he was on St. Elsewhere, Michael
he was also on Boy Meets World
I told you that I went to Universal Studios
back in the day and they had a Kit car
that you would sit in
and I was young enough
to be fucking baffled by the fact
that there was obviously a camera
with some guy and a mic in a room somewhere
because he was like, I like your sweater.
And I was like, holy shit!
Kit is real! I was also
at Universal and Kit
said to me, he goes,
my, do we have one of the Los Angeles Lakers?
What?
Oh, because you're tall?
Why did you make Kit so effeminate?
Hello.
Was Kit trying to fuck you, Randall?
No, but he plays the didgeridoo.
Come back.
Oh, my gosh.
Can you imagine the guy playing Kit is, like, hitting on people?
Like, oh, someone's girthy.
Like, calm down, kid.
Calm down.
All right.
Should we talk about – I want to talk about – sorry.
Last joke that we left out that I laughed at was when the soup Nazi says, he loves it when she finishes a beer.
She looks inside to make sure that there's none left.
It's a funny little character trait about Danny there.
So J.D. is already frustrated with Elliot.
I laughed out loud when Elliot sneezes with her eyes open.
That was funny.
But he's not frustrated.
He just...
He doesn't seem frustrated, does he? Do you think he's frustrated?
Well, he just...
All of a sudden, the second he got her,
the instant he got her, he realized he doesn't love her.
What's not to love,
though? I'm so frustrated.
That's why I'm saying, where's...
Elliot is so...
Elliot is a dream girl.
She's so fun. She's so silly. She's girl she's so fun she's so silly she's so
beautiful sure she's neurotic and nuts but who the fuck isn't and i just i don't know the whole
time i'm watching i'm going like jd you are never going to do any better than this amazing woman
what the fuck is wrong with you what is the because i mean you literally have those lines
in the show where you're like, I want somebody who's crazy.
And she's like, let's watch Kangaroo Jack.
Yeah, who likes to watch old corny movies.
And she's like, let's watch Kangaroo Jack.
Yeah.
And you're like, damn, she's perfect.
Sounds like she's perfect.
Yeah.
I've never seen Kangaroo Jack.
Who's in that?
Jerry O'Connell and Anthony Anderson.
Wow.
And a kangaroo.
It's them in Australia, I think, chasing after a kangaroo.
It's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie also.
Right.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, I think I saw it in the movie theater.
Are you kidding me?
I went to high school with Jerry O'Connell and I did a movie with Anthony uh, with Anthony when I was very young.
Both of those guys are friends of mine. Uh, absolutely.
I definitely saw the movie. I saw it in the movie theater. I actually,
I probably went to the premiere. Okay.
And this was right around the time when I was doing remember the Titan.
So it was a Bruckheimer project. So yeah.
Oh, you were in the Bruckheimer family at that point. Yes.
It was a Bruckheimer project, so yes. Oh, you were in the Bruckheimer family.
At that point, yes.
Donald, one of the results of this past year,
COVID and all, I spent a ton of time with my brother.
I lived with him for three months.
It was amazing.
It's the most time we've spent together in forever.
And remember, The Titans is one of his all-time favorite movies
and literally made me sit in bed one rainy afternoon in Hawaii with him
and to watch it and him cry.
It was a very big brotherly moment and a brotherly moment.
Have you seen it before?
Had you seen it before?
No. That was your first seen it before? No.
That was your first time seeing it?
Yes.
All the way through.
I mean, I'd seen bits and pieces, but.
Did you enjoy it?
Yes.
What's not to enjoy?
It's a masterpiece.
I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that are like, it wasn't for me.
I don't, you know, I like football and that's not my kind of football movie.
There's this really random moment. I'm sure Sarah and I were just riffing that's not my kind of football movie. There's this really random moment.
I'm sure Sarah and I were just riffing that you kept in,
you and Bill kept in, where we're reminiscing about.
The horse.
Yeah.
We're reminiscing about the things we have in common
and the memories we have.
And we're just riffing nonsense.
We're like, remember those two guys?
And the mom was trying to remember the song.
And then there's a long pause until we had to put their horse down poor cinnamon he could run like the wind but his tail couldn't
put out that fire so fucking random it was that was written though right i don't remember if it
was i don't think i don't think on the day we were just being silly right yes then you guys
you that's fucking phenomenal, dude.
That's such a great.
I mean, I'm sure there was help from Bill and whoever was on staff.
Exactly.
It built on itself.
Yeah, we just kept going on it.
But it's so weird and random, and it's a funny thing that's been left in the episode because it has nothing to do with anything else.
I mean, it serves the point like we have a lot of shared memories together, but it's just so random.
Like we have a lot of shared memories together, but it's just so random.
But,
but you know,
I'm always like,
was cinnamon running in circles?
Like how did cinnamon,
you know,
to get the fire out?
What was cinnamon doing?
Why was cinnamon trying to put the fire out?
Did cinnamon start the fire?
Did cinnamon burn to death? No, we had to put cinnamon, we had to put the fire out? Did Cinnamon start the fire? Did Cinnamon burn to death?
No, we had to put Cinnamon down because of the fire.
So I imagine he was injured enough in the blaze to need mercy.
What did the tail have to do with it?
No matter what was the tail part?
The line was he could run like the wind, but his tail couldn't put out that fire.
Yeah, I don't understand.
I think, now that I read it again, I think he was trying to...
Randall, was he either...
Was he trying to wave the fire off his own body,
or was he running around the fire trying to put it out by waving his tail?
That's what I thought.
Was he whipping his tail against his body?
Yeah, I didn't know. It's either
or, I guess. It's up for interpretation.
Yeah. Well, because
of the, he could run like the wind, I had
in my head, I pictured him
running around the barn
trying to get, to create enough
wind. Oh, so you think,
so he was sort of a, he was sentient in a way
that he was, he had a plan to
extinguish the fire.
And the plan went awry.
Donald, you have tears in your eyes at 15, 19.
Are those real or fake ones that were blown into your eyes with the menthol?
I'm sure they were fake.
Yeah, it's pretty hard for you to just start sobbing on cue.
Well, no, yeah, on cue it's kind of hard, but if I work myself up to it, I can make it look like it's on cue well no yeah on cue it's kind of hard but if you if I work myself up to it I can make it
look like so the point of it was that that Judy's speech is so moving that you've got tears coming
down your face but you haven't written anything but they show you rehearsing and that was so funny
when when Donald's trying to um when Turk is trying to write his speech and he's like baby
you know you're my baby yeah and when it comes to babies, you're the best baby.
There was babies before you, but you will always be my baby, baby.
That was funny.
And then Marco sabotages you by stealing the monologue from Billy Crystal at the end of
When Harry Met Sally.
And that's so funny that you don't know and you deliver it so sincerely.
Well, it all comes from me making fun of him
for loving When Harry Met Sally
in the beginning of the show.
Right, which establishes that you haven't seen it.
Which establishes, one, that I haven't seen it,
and two, yeah.
And J.D. tries to tell Turk...
Yeah, he does the thing with his hand
don't do it
because JD obviously
is seen when Harryman's out
but that's so funny how earnestly
you deliver that
Billy Crystal monologue
and
but that's the weirdest
thing ever it's not because
it's not because you're
it's not because we're getting married.
It's not because this is our rehearsal dinner tonight.
It's because when you love someone, you want to spend the rest of your life with them.
Exactly.
All right.
The fan is here.
So we are going to take a quick break.
Right, Joelle?
Yep.
This is where we take a break.
What, Don?
What do you want to say?
It's not weird that Turk is giving the exact cadence that Billy Crystal gives in the movie,
and he didn't write that.
You know what I mean?
And he's never seen the movie, but he's giving the exact cadence.
That doesn't strike anyone as crazy.
I love that line, when you love someone, when you finally find-
I came here tonight because when you realize you love someone you when you finally i came here tonight because
when you realize you love someone whatever it is you want to spend your life with them you want
the rest of your life to start right now it's great writing yeah all right we'll be right back

I used to have so many men.
How this beguiling woman in her 50s.
She looked like a million bucks.
With zero qualifications.
She had a Harvard plaque.
Tricks her way past a wall of lawyers and agents.
She's got all of these Maseratis and Bentleys all in the driveway.
Is it like a mansion?
Yes, it's a mansion.
That this queen of the con uses to scam some of the biggest names in professional sports out of untold fortunes.
About six million.
Approximately eleven million dollars.
Nearly ten million dollars
was all gone.
Employing whatever
means necessary
to bleed her victims dry.
She would probably
have sex with one of her clients.
Hide your money

I can't do that shit.
Arman, welcome, welcome, welcome.
We also have Randall.
Lovely name.
We have Randall Winston here,
who not only is...
You may know him as Leonard the Security Guard and also Death and also our line producer, but he directed this particular episode of the show.
Hello, Armand.
Hey, man.
Where are you calling from?
He said Iceland.
Oh, I thought the name was Icelandic.
I didn't know he was.
Yeah, downtown Reykjavik right now.
Reykjavik right now. Reykjavik.
Our art department was, we're big fans of Iceland.
Our art director married an Icelandic man.
And when she was in Reykjavik, she used to run into a couple other people from the Scrubs art department.
Arman, is it true that Iceland is the one that's green and Greenland is the one with more ice?
It's very true, Zach.
Very true. It's, true, Zach. Very true.
We have four seasons here.
And sometimes it's green, sometimes it's not.
But isn't it true that that was done?
I mean, I heard this urban legend that you're going to tell me might be not true.
They did that on purpose because they wanted to dissuade people from coming there.
So they called it Iceland, even though it was very green.
Well, the stories are very uh they
differ from time to time the story is that eric the red discovered greenland and he named it
greenland so the people would actually go there even though it was not very green except only on
the coast and the name of iceland comes from the first settler who came here his name was raven
flokey and he came here and he actually settled up in
the north and he came here pretty late summer so by the time when he was ready to start cultivating
doing some agriculture some animal husbandry winter came and it froze and all the crops died
and he left later that year and said i curse you and I name you Iceland. That's a good story. I heard that
Reykjavik is one of the most fun cities on earth. Is that true? It's very nice to be here. It has
a vibrant nightlife. It's very safe. It's an easygoing city most of the time. Of course,
Icelanders are known for partying so bars usually
don't close until like 3 4 a.m of course now with covid nothing is open past nine yeah i was going
to ask you are you guys um as hit oh nothing is open you guys still have bars though you can still
go to bars up until nine o'clock yeah yeah yeah uh just on wednesday we had a new rule basically we have these three people who uh take care of all the uh all the all the rules basically so as of wednesday we're
allowed to be 50 people together in restaurants theaters and movie theaters uh a little bit more
for it depends on the size of the stores for example if you have a store that's
over like 500 square feet you can have 100 people and then 10 more each square foot above
or it's 10 square square feet above so it sounds like you the country must have it under control
if you're allowed to do all that yeah very early on we elected three people. The director of the immuno...
Like one high set doctor, one high set police officer who's like chief of the Reykjavik police
and then the chief of medicine of Iceland. We got these three people and they basically set the
rules with the government and we just listen to that and they basically they set the rules with the
government and we just listen to that and if you don't do that then you can have hefty fines for
yeah my sense my sense is you might not have an anti-masker problem in your country like we have
no not so much we've had one big case of a person refusing to wear a mask and she got arrested this week so whoa wow she uh she was supposed to do that here
they don't do that you you could you could in america you don't have to wear a mask and you
could get in somebody's personal space and not suffer any consequences other than getting kicked
out of a store yeah just putting it out there um all right let's let's focus armand do you have a
question for any of us yeah i absolutely do uh do you have a question for any of us? Yeah, I absolutely do.
First, I have a question for you, Zach.
Yes, sir.
I am a dungeon master.
I play a lot of D&D.
Yes!
Hello!
Hey, Donald.
Hey, how's it going?
Question was for me.
In fact, I just got out of a session about 20 minutes ago,
and I have a question regarding writer's block
because I have my own homebrew world,
and I make all the stories
and stuff, but I tend to get lost
and have difficulty
making... Can you let the man
ask his fucking question?
You know what he's asking you. He's going to ask you, how do you get
through your writer's block? Why are you interrupting? We've never had a fucking
guest from Reykjavik before and you're like,
because he
said something about freaking
Dungeons and Dragons. Homebrew is your own rules, Donald. Homebrew uh okay your own rules donald homebrew just means
your own rules okay that's right okay can you continue i'm on i'm sorry about my friend well
my question is really like how do you get through writer's block because i tend to
sorry sorry
because i tend to like sit down and start writing and then nothing is coming and then i just okay
just a just a quick question armand for those who don't know dungeon dragons when you're the
dungeon master you kind of create and make up the world for the game that everybody's playing right
absolutely yes and you can make anything happen you can be like and now we walked into a cave
yeah and then it's up to the players to sort of spin that around, what do they want to do in the cave.
Well, there are a lot of people...
Can I just say something?
The thing is,
it's not just adventure,
it's not just so you're fighting, fighting,
fighting, there's also storytelling involved.
You spend a lot of time
in taverns and there's world building
and everything like that.
It's really easy to be like,
so you come to a town and at the town you meet an adventurer.
There's an adventurer's tavern and you walk into the adventurer's tavern
and you look for a mission and you get a campaign and you find adventurers.
I feel like I'd be a great dungeon master.
Dude, that's what he's trying to, he's trying to say, like,
I don't want to just do that.
Is there other, are there other ways to create stories
He's also saying, do you run out
What do you do when your brain's not coming with ideas
I'm not very disciplined with this, Armand
But a lot of writers will say
There's no such thing as writer's block
You just didn't outline enough
I don't necessarily find my best stuff comes that way
But I think if I was going to be a dungeon master, I would definitely make sure that I had bullet pointed out like I'm going to start here.
I want to get to here.
I have an idea that we're going to go over to here to this tavern.
I would like make an outline of all of the great storytelling beats I wanted to hit.
of all of the great storytelling beats I wanted to hit.
So that then you kind of just know where you have to go and then your creativity fills in all the spaces.
Do you know what I mean?
Kind of, yeah.
There's a lot of screenwriters that write like that.
They'll outline the whole script.
And then the more detailed their outline is, the better.
And then when it comes time to actually sit down
and write the dialogue and write the action,
they have such a specificity to what they've already outlined like i need to write a tavern scene where these three characters get in an argument and then discover that they're going
to go here you know so it's it's very clear what you need to write by the time you get to writing
do you have any of the books the base base books? I have the Holy Trinity, of course.
The original jump-offs?
I have the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, all that stuff.
And then, of course, the Monster Manual.
Yeah, and Monster Manual.
There's a bunch of source material that you can always use.
Do you guys always, when you guys are playing do you have them go against like epic monsters or are
they going up against like like how do you space out your campaign obviously it starts off with
something small and then it's something epic at the end uh do you ever why not empire strikes back
the situation and start off with the big battle in the beginning and then the rest of it's nothing
but story at you know during the end and puzzle solving at the end instead of, you know, you know, switch it up that way.
If you're really hitting writer's block like that, you might be doing this already.
I'm just, you know, thinking of the things that, you know, my DM when I was growing up, he would do things like that where it's like we would spend all night on a campaign and not do anything but puzzle solving.
And then we'd have like one epic battle.
And then sometimes he started off where we'd have like this epic battle and then it would be puzzle solving.
Like, I'm just trying to throw out different ways to play the game.
Yeah, we just finished a gothic horror themed adventure.
And as soon as they got out of there they basically came into my world
and suddenly the world was a lot bigger and we ended the session with oh by the way there's
trolls coming to break down the castle so the next time we go it'll start with a troll trying
to break down the castle but you know time war right now we gotta start rolling the ball why
are the trolls there right how how many how many uh people do you have play? How many people play?
We currently went down from six down to four,
which is a very comfortable size.
And how many hours
are you guys playing? We tend to play
about four to five hours
every two weeks, just about.
Daniel and Joel, have you done this? You're both
nodding. Have you played D&D?
I play every Sunday.
Who are you
guys playing with, man? All my people
are still back in New York.
You gotta have friends without children.
We have eight hours
every Sunday to dedicate.
That's why I asked him how many hours
are you
dedicating to this? Four to five hours,
man. That's a quick campaign. You see all the fun
you could be having without those kids? Percession, i mean i'm sure it's the same campaign so it's just
you only are no no i'm gonna say i was about to say my bad for four or five hours for a session
is not enough time we would do like i remember one time when i was a kid we did a 16 hour session
that's too long i have to say no it was the attention span for a 16-hour campaign. Some people, the dungeon master was the only person that didn't sleep, man.
But we got pizza.
We got them Coca-Cola.
We freaking stayed up all night long and played Dungeons & Dragons.
Those were the days.
Those were the days, dude.
I remember my dad walked into the house and was like, good night.
And everybody just got up and left.
That's how the campaign ended.
I would like to do that. I'd like to be a guest dungeon master, Joelle. Oh, goodnight. And everybody just got up and left. That's how the campaign ended. I would like to do that. I'd like to be a guest
dungeon master, Joelle. Oh my god.
So I'll get you the books.
I'll get them all digitally. I'm on D&D.
He really would. You would be a great
dungeon master. I would love to do it.
Because I would, like Armand
saying, I think I could weave a good
tale. Can I offer something to Armand?
Sorry. Sorry, go ahead man no no
please please please no the only thing that gets the only thing that gets is not playing favorites
and stuff like that like you might create your own character as a dungeon master and stuff like
that and you might love that like that would suck about like my dm he would create characters and
stuff that he loved and you would have a character that got you know that became like let's say a higher level and you faced this character that he loved and there's no way you're
ever gonna win even if you critical hit double zeros fucking fatality the fucker has a helmet
on or something like that to stop it from from from killing him like it was just like so much
stuff like zach loves rules i feel like zach is gonna to be the kind of DM who's like, yes, very creative and like into like creating his own characters and stuff.
But then like also like in D&D, there's like very strict rules about like how many hit points you have and like what different things impact a character.
And I feel like you're going to rely on the books pretty religiously and follow that.
And that's what makes the game fun.
Like there's the combination of chance and improv.
And that's just like gambling too, right?
And it's like gambling too, right?
It's like you're sitting at the Vegas dice table with no sex.
Is there sex?
Yeah, there's sex.
There are parts.
Whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
No, I want to know.
Could I have all my characters, my warlocks and my gnomes and wizards all enter a brothel?
And it's like if you roll this, you, you like,
please the woman.
If you want to role play sex like that. Yes, you can do it.
I want to say like, do you please, if you roll a seven,
you please the wench.
As long as there's consent. Yeah.
As long as everybody at the table is okay with it.
Randall's like, what the fuck did I walk into?
Oh, I'm not going to.
He's like, I thought we were talking
about scrubs.
I'm fascinated.

As important as choosing the right destination when traveling is choosing the right
travel partner. Much of the joy you will find on the road comes from the person you share it with.
But be careful and choose your travel partner well,
because the worst trips result when two partners have two different agendas.
Get down!
I'm not stupid, Jean.
Something is going on in its high time, you tell me the truth.
Freeze, Americano!
Jean, run!
So travel before it's too late.

All right, let's go.
We should steer this away from D&D for people that have no interest in D&D.
Armand, you have another question.
Yes, I do.
Donald, doing a bit of sleuthing, I learned an interesting story about the time when you gave a used napkin to an improv group.
Yes, in Times Square.
In Times Square. I'm sure I did it. I do recall doing something like that.
They asked for a prop and you gave them a used napkin?
and you gave them a used napkin?
They asked for a used napkin.
They asked for what I had in my pocket and I had a used napkin.
And I was like, this is gross, dude.
I had it in my pocket and it's used.
And they were like, we need it.
Did they make up a whole bit about it?
I didn't even stick around to see the bit.
I just gave the napkin and took off, dude.
It's fucking New York, man.
Get the fuck out of here.
You trying to rob me or something
oh it was like on the street yeah dude oh no one wants your street improv guys
listen if your thing is street improv get the fuck out of here
you deserve that dirty napkin oh here comes imaging webcam all right back in the chat
is it too late daniel i thought you got a new kid. Oh, there we go.
Yeah.
By the way, when it works in spurts, it looks really good.
Is it too late to offer Armand any advice at all?
Yeah, we'll let you.
Because he dropped off.
Go ahead.
I'm so sorry.
Let's just go back to Dean.
Very quickly.
This is just about writer's block. I just don't want to lose listeners, Daniel.
I apologize.
This is just about writer's block in general.
When I was writing music and I would always get to a point where I don't know what to do with this beat, whatever, blah,
blah, blah, I would truly start over something new, write a completely new song, write something
entirely different. And what that would do was just like, instead of me focused on pushing my
creativity on that moment, it was just restarting it and resetting and just like starting a new
page. And I feel like that can be applied to things like D&D, like scenarios. It's like,
if you're having trouble coming up with a section, forget it. Any work that you do that is
creative work is going to be helpful for what you're doing in the future, whether it's a new
campaign, whether it's something else that you're working on, just start fresh on something
completely new. Talk about a new encounter. Talk about a new, you know, tavern that you're going
to go to. Think of a new town that you're going to visit. Just completely start over the creative
process with something else so that your brain is still going and creating ideas because then when you're in
the active process of creating ideas maybe that thing that you were working on will come to you
yeah and don't be the guy that like kills everybody man let people freaking play
and freaking sure get the ep at the end of the campaign so they can go out and buy shit in the books.
Because that's the best part.
That's the best part.
The best part is going shopping and being like, I'm going to get that crossbow.
I'm going to get that freaking bastard sword.
That's the best part.
All right.
Let's go back to your second question.
My second question was mostly just about that napkin, because I just love the fact that some people came up to Donald and he's walking the street.
It's like, we need something that you have.
Just give it to us.
Anything you have.
And he just went to his pocket.
Did they recognize you, Donald?
Do you remember?
Or were they just thinking?
Well, they obviously recognized me afterwards.
No, they might have just been.
Oh, because they put it in the news.
I see.
Because it became news.
But, you know, that's yeah, that's's, it's like in my, like, IMDB
or some shit like that.
Yeah.
Well, it's an important fact about you.
Yeah.
It is.
It's very important.
I am known to have used napkins.
Everyone knows if you confront Donald with your street improv in New York City, you're
probably going to get a dirty napkin.
All right.
It's time for Iceland's favorite segment.
Donald. It's time for Iceland's favorite segment. Donald?
It's time to fix your life.
Disradio.
Disradio.
Disradio.
Joelle wincing every time is my favorite part.
All right.
Go ahead, Armand.
We're going to fix your life.
Make it a style. here's the thing uh i just got into a relationship a few months ago and uh this is the kind of thing where you
just you meet the person you completely fall for them uh we met we went to a concert i invited her
over for a beer we went and we drank half a beer but we talked for like five hours and then i drove her home and the thing is
that she came here on a sort of a tourist visa so she could be here for three months so she left
in december she's not gonna be back for another three months so i guess my question is like have
any of you ever been in a long distance relationship and do you have any tips on how to like cultivate that in
that absence yes donald donald's gonna go first and he's got a he's definitely got a tip no pun
intended for how to deal with that situation go ahead i have a question i have a question
are you guys in a relationship or did you just share a beer and it's a girl you are you exclusive
he wants to know oh that's the question.
Okay, yeah.
So we shared that beer and then two days later,
we went on another date.
Then I took her on like a tourist date
where you go to see all the nice sights
and nice black sand beaches
and the waterfalls
and the hot water bursting out of the ground,
all that good stuff.
And yeah, we are pretty exclusive.
We are very much in love
and we are very much in love.
And we are very much 7,000 kilometers apart.
Well, the good news is you found love, dude.
Thunders applause. That's the best part.
Yeah, thunders applause, man.
Yeah.
Joelle's just looking for that.
We're trying to find her.
But listen, before we get to solving your problem,
in this crazy time on Earth, when everyone's on lockdown
and everyone is going
through a rough time with this earth what's happening on this earth you manage to find love
so that's that's a that's a celebratory thing amen a number one problem to have right there
lightning in a bottle yeah and and with technology the way it is you guys can be
intimate and and and all of that stuff now. So it's not like long
distance relationships like back in the day where it's letters and you're living through the moment
through every word that you read in a letter and stuff. So you have a lot of tools and technology
to help you out. But I totally get it. There's nothing like touch.
But you can see her.
You can talk to her.
You can, you know what I mean?
You can literally,
she could literally take you wherever she goes
if you really want,
if that's what you guys really want.
Where does she live?
So it makes...
Mexico.
Mexico.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Randall, yes, Randall. If I may i because when scrub started i was i i
was in a relationship that became a long distance relationship that's right and you didn't have all
of this technology and i did not have all this technology and you know it really i mean
relationship whether you're together or whether you're apart is about sharing you know and that
keeps i thought kept the excitement up so i i got great pleasure out of you know, and that keeps, I thought, kept the excitement up. So I got great
pleasure out of, you know, finding things that I was around that we had either shared or that I was
excited to, for us to do together when we were together and, you know, send that via mail or
send little packages that were, that contained something that we had shared together
or something that we had talked about together but didn't get the chance to really engage in.
And, you know, for me it went on for a while,
and the great part about the distance was we were always happy to see each other
and always missed each other when we were apart.
So that was the joy in the distance.
I agree with Randall that all this technology is awesome and you guys can FaceTime and spend time with each other.
But one thing that's nice is to do something analog, like surprise her with a long handwritten letter or surprise her with a little package.
Ain't nothing like a care package, man because no one does that shit anymore.
I love it when I get a handwritten letter in the mail.
I think it's just so special.
I love it when I get a care package from just anybody.
A care package?
Care packages are amazing.
Amazing.
You can't go wrong with that.
That's just love in a basket of care
it's like just t a t oh holy shit they put a t-shirt in there just for me
oh my god look at this look the the whole notebook is filled with nothing but
you know love and just polaroid pictures of us pictures of you know look at it
motherfucker put it motherfucker put a a shoebox with all photographs in it of us smooching. Motherfucker put a
shoebox with old photographs
in it of us. Look at it. I love it.
Oh, look. It's chocolates from Reykjavik.
It's a song that
made me think of you.
I don't even have a tape deck no more. How am I
going to play this shit? By the way, Arman,
does she play D&D with you?
She did play
D&D a long time ago, but I haven't been able to get her in there.
Holy shit, look at that 20-sided dice.
Yeah, because you could maybe...
Another idea is to include her in your game
so that she's getting to know your friends
and playing D&D with you as well.
We lost her.
Armand is about to show us something.
She got me this right before she left.
That's awesome, dude.
It's a giant D20, guys.
Wow.
Guys, it's a D20.
I know all the lingo.
It's an icosahedron, for those who don't know D20.
There you go.
That's an icosahedron.
Do you roll that?
Is that your attack die?
Yeah, but this is a...
It's made out of paper, so it's very weighted.
Oh, cool.
Sorry, I woke up my cat.
Sorry. Oh! That looks like a kitten. Sorry, I woke up my cat. Sorry.
That looks like a kitten.
Is that a full grown cat?
He's about six months.
Oh, she's cute.
Oh, little baby.
Oh, I need a cat.
I'm sorry, buddy.
You guys, can I get a cat?
No, because then I can never come over.
Oh, you're allergic to cats?
Yeah.
But every time I see someone with a cat I'm jealous
They also fuck up your furniture right Armand
She's gonna fuck up all your
There's a reason why you can't see below the bed
That's the thing about kittens
They're so cute but they're like hey thanks for having me over
I'm gonna fuck up your whole house
They're like Rick James in that freaking
Dave Chappelle sketch
Fuck your couch
Fuck your couch!
Fuck your couch! They should have never given you nice things!
Y'all don't remember that?
I'm gonna have to replace all my boards.
No.
But I do remember what the party...
Y'all don't remember that Rick James
on Dave Chappelle?
One of the best bits ever.
That shit's hilarious. I'm Rick James, bitch.
Yeah.
Hilarious.
All right.
Zach doesn't remember it.
Zach, you don't remember it.
I remember it vaguely.
I don't remember that.
Zach, you don't remember the Rick James sketch?
I remember him in the outfit, and I remember him saying,
Rick James, bitch, but I don't remember the skit word for word like you do.
Oh, man.
That's a classic.
You have iTunes, right?
Just please watch it real quick.
I got the iTunes. Speaking of iTunes um i watched this episode on itunes and
they removed uh the gavin degras song follow through which is such a great song yeah it
wasn't on the end of hulu at on hulu either yeah so if you watch this episode guys you got to
by the way speaking that's true we got randall on the show Randall, you were the one you told us last time
Who was picking these fucking
Aftermarket songs
Yes, I did not pick the spots
No, but you
You yourself went back to this episode
And said, okay, we gotta lose Gavin DeGraw
Follow through
Let me put in this one, Randall
It's not a good song
What are you doing song it was the best
of what I had to choose from
no, I'm sure whoever the artist is
I'm sure you're very talented, it just wasn't the right song
for the right moment and Gavin's
song Follow Through is epic
the way it works out
too, oh
this is the start
of something
good don't you agree This is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
Oh, it crushes at that moment, too.
That dude can sing.
I haven't felt like this in so many moons
Hey.
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
whatever the fuck he says
after that
so
if you wanna be with me
you have to follow through
that dude where the fuck is Gavin
Gavin's always around dude
I know he works and stuff
but I remember when we were friends with Gavin.
We are still friends with Gavin, man.
I'd run into Gavin out and about.
I was at dinner one night.
Where are you running to anyone out and about?
Well, not now.
But I ran into Gavin out and about in Texas one night.
He was there with some of his friends.
And I was there with my wife and my kids and my father-in-law.
And Gavin came up to the table where we were sitting to come say hi
and talk to everybody at the table.
I was once walking down the street in New York City
and ran into him, his mother, and his father on the street.
I run into Gavin so much, it's ridiculous, man.
Well, I love that guy, and I wish him all the street. I run into Gavin so much, it's ridiculous, man. I love that guy, and I wish him all the best.
And he fucking writes that shit,
and he can write a song
like, he writes a fucking
great hooky pop song.
You know what we should do? We should see if iHeart
and Gavin would let us play
Follow Through at the end of this episode.
Well, that's a good
idea, but
I already had a plan for the song at the end of this
episode. Oh, you want to play
some of that freaking Charlotte Lawrence
Yeah, I'm going to play Charlotte's new song.
It's fire. Have you heard it? It's a bop.
Have you heard it? That's what the kids call it.
Let's get into this because we're
going long. We finished the show
pretty much. I mean, there's a couple of things.
There's a few more things. Armand, you can stay on.
We want to talk about Armand. You can stay on and kick it with us um so let's get into it let's talk
about this jordan cox uh won't fight situation and how that turned it that's like it was like
sex for cox that's how much he needed the freaking uh the the confrontation he needed to have
somebody fight with him so bad. The great joke was
at the end of it where he tries
to get Carla to
fight with him and she's like, uh-uh, I'm getting married
tomorrow. There's no fucking way.
That shit had me rolling. He's turned on
by arguing. I think that must come from Bill and Chris's
real life.
Truth and justice.
They need confrontation to get all riled up.
If their Twitter interactions are any sign, I think you're right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They argue on Twitter.
That's their shtick.
And they'll be sitting there next to each other having an argument on Twitter.
And Bill was very, very specific about when Cox says,
you remind me of your mother, and she turns around and she says,
I'm going to kill you.
Kill you.
Yeah.
Kill you.
That was like, he gave her a line reading.
That was funny, though.
Your shot was clever there, Randall.
She sort of rises up into a close-up in that moment.
It was good.
It was fun.
up into a close-up in that moment.
It was good.
I got goosebumps when
we're at the dinner
party and you're telling me
how you really feel
about Judy. You fucked up the speech.
You did with Harry and Sally. You're sitting
there and you're talking to me about what you really
love about her. I go, maybe you
should say that.
You stand up i like got
goosebumps on my legs i thought it was moving i thought you did great too i thought you were
amazing at that moment also thank you i love you the final um stunt in that in that scene
you know she hits him and he goes flying over the table and this is my i remember this one
i remember this and it was late at night it was late at night it wasn't me right it was a stunt
man yeah it was a stunt man and we and everybody wanted to go home and he goes flying over the
table and if i remember he was like bleeding a little bit and he was like he was like he was
like i can do this better he's like like please he's like i gotta do this better. He's like, I got to do this better. You got to let me do it again.
And I was like, this is so weird.
Like, I can't believe.
I was like, it was.
It was one of those things where it was like, we don't have it,
but we don't have time to get it.
We've got very little.
It was like one of those things where we have very little set left.
We only have one take at this.
It's like.
And it didn't work
the reset was gonna take forever
and it was like
I remember that I remember watching it
being like that stunt didn't work and I'm
remembering like oh shit that's right
that was the night that like
this dude was begging for another take
wasn't he? Yes but it was late
and we were like bro it's gonna take like
a half hour to read it. Turn around in urgent care.
Turn around in urgent care.
That was a different episode.
That was urgent care.
Yeah.
I want to say something.
You'd never cut to Todd.
This is one mistake you made in directing this episode.
This was the best part of the episode.
You never cut to Todd's outfit at the rehearsal dinner,
which you only see in a wide shot if you're watching.
That was the best part.
I laughed so hard at that.
You have to look at what Rob's outfit is.
He's in a black leather trench coat.
With a butterfly collar.
With a butterfly collar, and it's open.
I did not get it.
This is crazy.
It's so fucking funny.
And he only has one line in the whole show.
What I mean...
But it's not in the outfit.
The outfit is never cut to. Oh my
God. I paused.
I paused in the wine jar because I was laughing so hard
at Rob's outfit. I laughed at that so hard when he
got pushed over the table. Oh, that's
beautiful. The least
happy people in that scene were Aloma
and Rob, because they...
It was like they had nothing to do, and it was...
Well, yeah, I didn't even know they were in the scene
until she's pouring the champagne,
and then he gets pushed over the table.
Right, but it was like a
frickin' Downton Abbey dinner scene. Everybody had
to stay. Everybody was there, yeah.
There are people that have
lines in the next episode that have to be in the scene and don't have lines i remember hattie
winston was supposed to be there and she's not there playing my mom someone else is there playing
my mom and they and we just never shot that side of the family we never shot the person the person
that's supposed to be dl if you notice has the dreads and everything but it's not dl hugely
that was that was a very interesting well and they had
they had her sisters there i recognize them no they just had candice was the only one that was
there and her sister it was just candice that was there her sister's not in the scene her actual
twin sister is not in the scene everybody also enters again in the next episode so my mom shows
up again in the next episode uh dl doesn't show up again in the next episode but my mom shows up again in the next episode. DL doesn't show up again in the next episode,
but my mom does.
There you go.
We,
you know,
what was weird,
interesting that we never ever took the opportunity to decide who
Turk's dad was.
Yeah.
My mother was not happy about that.
I think that would've been interesting.
I think it was Leonard,
the security guard in a plot twist.
Well,
I think we did it guys right that's the episode all right
listen um we like randall thank you so much for coming on we love you so much thank you thank you
for having me and um continued blessings on all the wonderful things happening in your career
and um and you're such an amazing man randall i love you so much man you're such an amazing man
like thank you so much for all that you've...
You know, Randall hits me up every once in a
while and is like, yo, I got something. Do you want
to come and play? And I just
appreciate you so much, brother, man. Thank you
so, so much. Why don't you have him on Mixed-ish,
Randall? I love you.
It's not up to him, man.
He's not the one that said,
I want Donald on this shit. He's got the ear
of the showrunner. He could say this would be great for Donald.
Randall, what the fuck?
Do you think I've never said it?
There's a lot.
There's things in the works.
There's a whole lot of things that come in.
I think you'd be great on Mixed Dish.
Maybe as a professor.
Lassie Professor Donald.
Sassy Professor Donald with patches on his elbows
Can I be the weed
Like the dude who teaches
How to grow marijuana at the college
Donald's just looking to play himself
I just want to be a stoner
Could the character be super high
It's about a bunch of stone
Like her dad's kind of like a stoner
Dude I love that I'm trying to get you a job
And you're like could the character be high?
Randall, make it happen, okay?
Keep it in the family, Randall.
Keep it in the family.
All right.
We love you guys.
I want to go out with Charlotte Lawrence,
Bill and Chris's daughter, as most of you know, is a singer.
And, you know, sometimes your friend's kid puts out a song and you try and promote it because
you feel obligated. Well,
this song is a bop
as they say. Randall, that's what the
kids say. Okay.
It's called Talk You Down. It's Charlotte Lawrence.
