Michael B. Jordan.

Imagine you ask two people the same seven questions.
I'm Minnie Driver, and this was the idea I set out to explore in my podcast, Minnie Questions.
This year, we bring a whole new group of guests to answer the same seven questions,
including Courtney Cox, Rob Delaney, Liz Phair, and many, many more.
Join me on season three of Minnie Questions on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite
podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. Hey, Donald, how are you, my friend?
I'm trying to hydrate myself, buddy. I see you're back on the very respectable
giant water jug train. I fell off a little bit. I have to admit, in New York City,
I've gotten very naughty with my water intake. Have you gotten naughty with your workouting?
No, and I'm certainly not as diligent in Los Angeles, where there's almost nothing to do
except go to work and exercise and go on a hike. But here, there's a lot more stimuli. But I have
been going three times a week, Donald Faison. How was your weekend?
My weekend was great.
It was Rocco's birthday this weekend.
Oh, yes.
I saw the sweetest picture that Casey posted of Wilder hugging him.
Yes.
She was, you know, whenever there's a camera out.
Oh, she just runs to the camera.
She's very ready to pose for it,
especially when it's with her brother on his birthday she's very loving
you know what i mean uh towards him it's such a great picture that's that's good he had a great
guys do for the birthday i saw there was some uh he loves basketball that's his jam yeah he plays
he plays soccer and basketball that's his that's his thing right now and uh for his birthday it fell on the same day as his basketball class does so we hired a man
to come in and teach a group of his friends how to play basketball together during pandemic that's
cool yeah right uh and it's the guy that taught me how to play well he didn't teach me how to play
basketball but he taught me how to become a better basketball player in i was in the nba entertainment
league with a bunch of people that have been on the show, actually, like Tom Cavanaugh and Bill Lawrence.
Anyway, I averaged like six points a game in the league.
And then I went to this guy and trained with him for a summer.
And at the end of the summer, I was – and at the end of the year, by the end of the league, I was MVP of the league.
I got MVP of the league. There we go.
And we went to the finals.
And the team was like me, James Lejeune, Adam McKay, who never showed up, by the way.
Well, he was probably working on all of his scripts.
And look how that's turned out for him.
No doubt.
Terry Crews.
Who else was on the team?
A lot of good people.
We don't need to know all of them.
Well, there was one really famous person on the team,
and I'm forgetting his name because Will Ferrell was on the team.
Yeah, and we went to the finals.
Speaking of Will Ferrell, I have a new sort of friend I'm excited about. I don't want you to get jealous. See, this is the fuck I'm talking about, man. It's not Will Ferrell. It's not Will Ferrell, I have become, I have a new sort of friend I'm excited about.
I don't want you to get jealous.
See, this is the fuck I'm talking about, man.
It's not Will Ferrell.
It's not Will Ferrell.
Don't get excited.
You're going out way too much.
You're going out way too much, man, because you had all these new friends all of a sudden.
No, I was at the beach, and it's a few times I've hung out with Chad Smith, who's the drummer
from the Red Hot Chili Peppers that everyone says looks exactly like Will Ferrell.
Have you ever seen him, Donald?
They do look exactly alike.
They look exactly alike.
Well, they don't look exactly alike.
They do.
Did you ever see the bit they did on Jimmy Fallon?
Yeah, I did.
It's pretty funny.
By the way, they did it so well that I was like, wait, can Will fucking really play?
And it was Questlove playing, and Will was just pantomiming.
Right.
But if you're listeners, if you've never
seen this, it's so funny because Chad
Smith, the drummer from the Chili Peppers, and Will Ferrell
look a lot alike.
I guess people say I look like Dax Shepard,
I guess. But anyway, they look more alike than
me and Dax do. And they did
a funny bit on Jimmy Fallon where they were going to have a
drum off and
Chad did some crazy beat and then
it was Will's turn and will did a
pretty darn good job selling the fakeness because it's actually quest love over at the side playing
for him and it was funny anyway he's the sweetest coolest most humble awesome guy and i've hung out
with him a few times and i saw him i was at the beach this weekend and i saw him that's great so
we play basketball um and you know rocco'm going to tell you something right now.
He really does like the sport.
He likes it so much that we crashed his basketball class and threw a party, like an impromptu party with his friends, his team.
Bought them jerseys and everything.
And they got to play a four- four scrimmage uh with a referee
and everything uh so it was really great yeah that's good you're a good dad hey you know what
no you know what well you know what i got a great he's a good mom yeah let's put it that way i got
a great wife who's a great mom yeah let's play her song you don't don't go get her we're just
gonna play her song she's not here but we'll play it anyway just play the song here it is
here but we'll play it anyway just play this song here it is what a bop great song what a bop great song i was uh sitting with charlotte lawrence this weekend
um she looks like her mom dude holy shit she cut her hair this weekend She looks like her mom, dude
Holy shit
She cut her hair short
Yeah, she looks like her mom's
Okay, go on
Anyway, it was cute
She was writing a song
And she was, you know, sitting there strumming
And then, you know, as we all know
I'm a really good jingle writer
We've learned that here, right?
Because I just wrote that bop that you heard just now
So I was like, I never really, of all the singers I know,
I've never really sat with someone and was like,
oh, but what if it was like, da-da-da-da,
you know, like suggesting a note?
And she was like, ooh, that's good.
And then she started playing, and I was like,
oh, shit, I'm getting a co-write on this song.
And then she's like, write a lyric.
She goes, now we need a lyric for this section.
And I'm like, well, can it be a little bit funny?
Because I know the song's like a heartbreak story, but wouldn't it be funny if you then sang this she
goes that's hilarious yes it could be funny so then my lyric made it in and i said we're going
to the grammys girl i don't know i'm gonna play triangle on stage i don't know what there you go
you already got it right he got out here he's ready he already got the grammy he already got
the grammy that's the only one i got that's the only one I got. That's the only one I got. Yeah, wait, hold on.
Surprise me.
Let me ask you a question.
Charlotte Lawrence is in New York too?
Charlotte Lawrence is out at the beach, yeah, for a couple weeks with her beau.
This is bullshit.
You guys are all hanging out.
Listen, you want to come here?
I can't.
I have a wife and kids.
I can't abandon them.
I can't just jump up.
I have responsibilities. You have an adult child. Responsibilities that I must. I can't just jump up. I have responsibilities.
Responsibilities that I must take care of.
Zach Braff.
You have an adult child that should be made to do
way more than the adult child.
My adult child is at her boyfriend's house
probably getting freaking
tossed all over the place by him right now.
Whoa. Wow.
Yes.
Whoa.
I don't know what to do with that. I don't know what to do with that.
I don't know what to do with that either, but it's probably true.
You're not cutting it out because it's so cringe.
I want the audience to feel the level of cringe.
It's the worst fucking thing.
Every time she's like, I'm going to my boyfriend's house for the weekend, I'm like, oh, God,
I'm going to kill this guy.
I love him, but I want to kill him.
All right. Well, I want- Because I know what they're doing. I know what they're doing. oh god i'm gonna kill this guy i love him but i want to kill him all right well i want because
i know what they're doing i know what they're doing i once subletted my apartment to a woman
and uh when i came back they were did i tell this story already no i came i think i may have
there were handprints all over the wall around my back and it looked like a lot of sex had been had in my bed because there's so many hand positions had been used to brace oneself along and around the bed.
Were they big hands, little hands?
I think they were female hands.
Okay.
You're guessing? Anyway getting back to my original point
right i think that and i'm sorry to get into your business because you obviously have a well-oiled
machine over there but it's my personal view that your adult child since she lives with you
absolutely not zach let me finish there's no way that what you're saying cannot happen. I don't give a shit if she's an adult.
She's never raised a kid.
She does have young cousins and stuff like that, but absolutely not.
There's way too much.
She couldn't handle a weekend of babysitting is what you're saying.
I'm sure she could handle a weekend of babysitting, but I don't know.
Listen, man.
No.
It has to be a better way.
All right.
All right.
There has to be a better way. I love you. I love her. I tried to help. And you did not help. No. It has to be a better way. All right. All right. There has to be a better way.
I love you.
I love her.
I tried to help.
And you did not help.
Zach, I love you.
Okay.
All right.
Should we get into the show?
It's a very, very weird episode.
I would love to get into this show.
Okay.

In a Canada who love to hate
I said here's our story
That we all should know
So gather round to hear our,
gather round to hear our
Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
You stupid.
You so stupid.
You've been in New York for a while.
Listen to you.
You so stupid.
Yeah, you hear that on the street a lot.
You so stupid.
You so stupid.
Welcome to New York. so stupid yeah you hear that on the street a lot you're so stupid welcome to new york it's been waiting for you i love it here it is fun here i gotta say yeah in new york yeah concrete jungles where dreams are made of And Broadway's supposed to open On September 2nd
You gotta have a vaccination card
You know how they used to have shirts
Where there was like a pocket
Like a see-through pocket on them
I don't know what that was for
Have you ever seen that?
But I'm gonna put my vaccination
In my little see-through pocket
On my shirt
Oh like the kids who fly
When they're young
And they have a pouch
Hanging around their neck
Yes
That's what I'm gonna be doing What do you think is the most Broadway-ish show ever? kids who fly when they're young and they have a pouch hanging around their neck? Yes.
That's what I'm going to be doing on Broadway. What do you think is the most Broadway-ish show ever?
What do you mean?
Like spoof of Broadway?
Like if you're going to say that's very Broadway, what show would you say?
There's a few of them for me, but one that really sticks out.
I guess Chorus Line.
Chorus Line.
Nailed it.
Nailed it, dude. N nailed it chorus line the reason and chorus line isn't like
a isn't like a traditional like hello dolly old school musical a chorus line i just say because
it's about broadway and it's and it's it's got a lot of dance in it and it's about people
auditioning that's just also my father it was my father's favorite he saw it literally like such a great show dude yeah no matter how you do it is if you have the right
amount of dancers and the that are good and the and the lead cast is good yeah oh my god it's a
series of i mean amongst musical musical monologues too. It's a series of, like, these stars get a chance to sing,
to blow you away with their voice, and then dance.
And they're auditioning for the chorus.
They're not even auditioning for the leads.
They're auditioning for the chorus.
Don't watch the movie, though, because my father was so upset
by how bad that movie was, he couldn't get over it.
He didn't like Michael Douglas in the movie?
He loved Michael Douglas.
The American President was one of his favorite movies.
He was a Michael Douglas fan.
But that show was so special to him.
The movie got him all riled up.
All right.
So listen, I, of course, would not play a Mexican apple thief today.
Okay.
Yeah.
But I...
J.D., why is J.D JD participating in their foreplay?
JD got kink in him, man.
I think so, man. I think he must have a little kink.
Yeah, he got a little kink in him. I'm kind of like that guy
we had on the show who lets his wife go bang
his friend. Yeah.
He got a little kink in him because this isn't the first time
that he's done this. He sticks around.
Why is he sitting in the room
watching them roleplay? He sticks around
for it a lot.
This isn't the first time.
He did it with her last boyfriend, too.
For what reason does he possibly want to watch them hook up?
It's weird.
Yeah.
He's got a little kink in him.
He might have a little of that cuckold.
Is that what you said it was?
Cuckold.
They might.
Wow.
Yeah.
I like the whole.
I feel bad for him, though.
I feel bad for him.
He's sitting there.
He's got no girlfriend.
He's sitting there watching his girlfriend hook up with a Ken doll, Travis.
Yeah.
With his dynamite areolas.
Yeah.
You think you're better than me, Keith, with your rock hard abs and dynamite areolas. Yeah. You think you're better than me, Keith, with your rock-hard abs and dynamite areolas?
This is going to stick for the season.
I have a feeling you're going to say this a couple times.
That might be one of the funniest lines I've ever improvised.
I just want the world to know.
What made you say dynamite areolas?
Dynamite I just kept as a funny adjective that that jd used i just
thought that saying dynamite was funny and i just decided it was a as an adjective jd liked
i said it a lot how would how would jj from good times say that line and your dynamite
and your and your dynamite areolas.
Would he drop back down?
We would have had to pay 50k.
That would have cost us everything.
I mean, I'm not faulting him.
I get the hustle, but the appearance was one fee, saying dynamite was a lot more.
That was way more.
We were like, we can't afford dynamite, but will you come on the show?
Right. He came on a couple of times.
Yeah, he was hilarious.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, so we should mention Michael Learned plays Mrs. Wilk.
I've never heard of a woman with the name Michael before I met Michael Learned,
but she's just a wonderful actress.
Michael Learned?
That sounds like somebody else that I know, actually.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah, Joelle can double check.
I know that her name, I think she was on The Waltons.
Was that the famous show she was on?
She was on a famous series.
Yeah, you're right.
It is Michael Lernert.
Who was the other one?
There's another Michael Lernert.
You're thinking of Michael Lerman, who was my friend, the first AD.
Yes, no, no.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of.
And he first ADs all the big Bond movies now,
and he's a big, fancy first assistant director.
Right.
That's not him playing Mrs. Wilk.
I know that.
82 years young. Wow, okay.
And Mike was on...
You know who I'm thinking of?
I'm sorry.
I'm thinking of Michael Lerner, not Michael Learned.
Sorry.
Jewel, will you look up if Michael Learner was ever on Scrubs
I know he's been in so many amazing things
I will
He's a very very funny character actor
Yeah very good dramatic actor too
Very
Can be very stern
Yes
And we have the great Dave Foley of course
As our guest star
A very abrasive character
Yes
I hate passiveive people like that
yeah and uh he kind of ticked me off like i could understand why cox wanted to beat his ass i hated
him too i guess the idea in the writer's room was what if a grief counselor was really abrasive and
annoying that seems to have been the angle But man It's an odd episode
There's not a lot of plot
Alright so
Well there's
The plot is that she's dying
And also
And cause Cabbage killed her
By the way
That's never discussed
Cabbage is a murderer
Yeah
Yes
Accidental murderer
Yeah
Right
What's that
Accidental murderer
That
Nice song
Dun dun dun
Think how many people
Could be accidental
Murderers these days.
I'm just trying to say that Cabbage doesn't realize that he's the reason.
All he did was give her love.
He touched her and gave her love.
But he didn't know he was carrying that virus, the very virus that killed her.
It couldn't be more apropos for the world we're living in.
But Cabbage never knows, I'm sure. sure no because he's gone but he does come
back doesn't he work in the coffee shop when that opens maybe coffee books probably yeah he's really
good at making coffee yeah but i wonder if anyone was like hey dude i'm glad you found a new job
and you're not a doctor anymore but um do you know that you killed you killed mrs wilkes you
motherfucker i'm surprised cox doesn't kick his ass for it.
But nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows, but we, the audience.
Nobody knows, Zach.
Nobody knows, Zach.
Only we, the audience, know.
Yeah.
So there's sand.
We put a beach on the roof because we're very sweet,
and we want to give her a moment at the beach.
I don't know who brought all that sand up to the roof.
That was a lot of work for somebody.
I mean, in real life and in the show.
I'm sorry for who had to carry up all that sand to the roof.
Probably Norm.
Maybe they craned it up or something,
because that's just not fair.
Okay, so first of all,
okay, two things.
Go ahead.
Two things that are BS in this show.
We got to get to it right now.
This whole episode has a lot of BS.
If all of that sand would have fallen into Ted's office,
if the sand to make that sandcastle would have fallen into Ted's office,
he would have been dead from suffocating.
He would have been buried alive like a tomb from the Egyptians.
He would have been buried.
First of all, the sand is not kept track of well, okay?
Because there's a certain amount on the roof to make a small beach.
Right.
Now we're to understand that that all falls into Ted's office
and nearly kills him, and he's not able to answer the radio DJ.
Right.
Played by Mike Schwartz, by the way.
Right.
The voice of Mike Schwartz.
Did you recognize Mike's voice?
No.
It's Mike's voice who who as you guys know plays the
uh the delivery the lonely delivery man what's his character's name i forgot shit um lloyd
lloyd thank you and he likes he likes speed metal um so then we see this is a joke we've mentioned
before that the most unrealistic thing that ever happens in in
nine years of scrubs is that the janitor builds a livable sandcastle in in the parking lot right
forget the livable sandcastle let's just talk about how ted would have been buried alive right
like he was toots and common or some shit like that in his office if that would happen that's
the first one second one in the car with the three-tap technique.
Wait, you're going way too fast.
I know, but that's bullshit, dude.
Okay.
That's way too much soda.
What is it?
Is it beer or soda?
It's root beer.
That's way too much root beer to come out of that.
It was hilarious.
It was hilarious.
It was like you, come on, man.
It was very hilarious.
I love that gag.
And I remember shooting that gag and I remember thinking,
we're going to ruin the inside of this beautiful old Porsche.
I assume they just got like something that barely moved
that we could just wreck.
Still.
Still.
I felt bad for that little adorable car.
The body is all you need, baby.
That gag was done great, right?
I had a tube going up my sleeve to the that went inside
the can and um i just remember thinking on the day how fucking funny it was and then i turned to him
and i go um the quickest way to my house is to take elms i can't even believe that Cox, I mean, I know we're bonding, quote unquote, over our love of Mrs. Wilk.
Right.
But, and J.D., that was funny when I'm like, darn scooters, get out of my way, sea bear.
And trying to act like my scooter doesn't work.
But then the idea that he's so quickly like, I'll give you a ride home.
I guess he just wants to talk about Mrs. Wilk or something.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because otherwise, why would he ever invite me in his...
Well, when the show starts off, you know that you're in for a sad episode.
Like, it sets the tone right away.
Like, you know for a fact, this isn't going to be a lot of jokes.
This is going to be so long to a character that we've invested in
for like four or five episodes of the season so far.
You know what I mean?
But I mean, let's talk about the plot of this episode.
She's dying.
Okay.
Ted needs leverage.
The janitor,
the janitor sort of serves as Ted's lawyer and clearly knows more about law
than Ted.
Right.
Right.
And the C story is Elliot and her booty call.
Elliot doesn't realize that,
that she's falling for Keith.
Right.
Now, what is your storyline?
Your storyline makes no sense.
All of a sudden, you've got a pimp cane?
Why do you have a pimp cane?
Because I'm just trying to be Billy Dee Williams.
I'm trying to help the boy out.
I don't understand.
Will you explain to me what the hell Turk was doing in this episode?
Turk, so Carla's trying to help out Elliot, right?
But Turk sees it as, if I can turn the tables,
I can order booty calls whenever I want them.
Right.
So what he does is he helps out Keith.
So the call that's supposed to go to Keith that night
doesn't make it through.
Why?
Are you involved with that?
I don't think I am, but I am involved with keeping it going.
You know what I mean?
So that Turk can, because once that happens, Turk realizes he can be like,
Carla, why don't you come into the room real quick?
That's never going to happen, though.
This is not your relationship.
Right, but of course not.
But he feels like if Elliot's in this situation,
Carla's got to be in this situation to at least find a way out of it.
I missed this whole thing. Joelle, did you understand this at all? All of a sudden, it doesn't make any sense.
I was like, I was like, maybe the scene got cut out. Why does Donald have a pimp cane?
And why is he? I think someone was like, Donald can do a good Billy Dee. Let's throw it in there.
No, well, that's not Donald doing Billy Dee. That's Turk doing Billy Dee. I don't do Billy
Dee Williams at all, man. I love the man so much.
I do a horrible Billy Dee Williams impersonation.
But that's Turk's version of Billy Dee Williams.
It was amazing.
I'm not taking it.
I think it was pretty good.
I thought it was pretty good.
I just didn't understand it at all.
Yo, so I watched Dave, dude.
Do you like it?
It's good.
It's not Ted Lasso.
Nothing's Ted Lasso.
But it's good. Next is Atlanta. That not ted lasso nothing's ted lasso right but it's good you know
next is next is atlanta that's the next one okay but i watched it i was wrong but you did you are
you like you watch all of dave i watched all the way up until after korea uh oh yeah yeah with the
new season so the new season he watched all of the first season. He watched episode one. You're right.
It is bizarre.
It's like really weird.
Like it's...
That episode with Benny Blanco where they're like basically hooking up.
That was hilarious.
I don't think you've seen that one yet, though.
That's later in the season.
Oh, yeah.
You got to...
If you watch no other ones, watch episode three of season two.
It's so fucking great.
That's the next one I'm on.
You got to watch that one.
Check.
Chuck, you got to watch that one.
Check.
And actually, the other one that's great is when he goes to Rick Rubin's house. That one was really good. Okay. It's so fucking great. You gotta watch that one, Chuck. And actually, the other one that's great is when he
goes to Rick Rubin's house. That one was really good.
Okay. It's just interesting to watch.
It's bizarre, but I just thought, because it's about
rap and the rap world, I thought you'd like it. The other thing that's
really cool about it, and you mentioned this because you texted me,
is that this guy,
this gentleman who plays Gaeta...
He's the best part of the show.
He's incredible. Will you look up what his name is?
Gaeta.
Gaeta. Well, I know he's the real guy. He's the best part of the show. He's incredible. When you look at what his name is, he is... Kata.
Well, I know he's the real guy. He's like Dave's real...
Or Lil Dicky's real friend and his real hype man.
But it turns out, he puts him in the show,
he's like an incredible actor.
The guy should be nominated for awards.
He's incredible.
Yeah, it's raw.
It doesn't feel fake at all.
You know what I mean?
At all.
No, but I mean that episode dealing with his
mental illness yeah no doubt it was like you couldn't have there there isn't another actor
that could have done i mean i don't know if it's the gentleman's real story or what but no but he
it is his real story yeah he's bipolar and he hits these beats struggle he hits beats really
well man like like you know it's it's very clear, I don't know, if he's not an actor and this is his first time doing it,
he's rookie of the year in my eyes because that dude freaking plays
that character very, very, very well, even if he's playing himself.
His name is Deviante, a.k.a. Gata Ganter.
Yeah, he's very good on the show, man.
If you don't watch Dave.
All of them are, really.
I know, they're all great actors.
But I'm just amazed that when I was watching that guy, Gator, act, and I'm like, how have I never seen this actor before?
He's fucking incredible.
He lights up the screen.
He can do comedy.
His drama brought me to tears.
Yeah, his drama.
That's shocking.
Then I read up like, no, he's not an actor.
He's really in Dave's group of posse, whatever you call it.
Right. They're all good. The girls are great, too. The an actor. He's really in Dave's, you know, group of posse, whatever you call it. Right.
They're all good.
The girls are great, too.
The Asian girl.
She's great.
Yep.
Christine Ko.
All right.
Watch Dave, everybody.
All right.
Cocoon.
JD tries to describe what death is like.
He describes Cocoon.
He describes the ending of Cocoon.
Yeah.
Did you say Cocoon?
We should probably say Cocoon like Raccoon. Cocoon like Raccoon. Cocoon. I loved the ending of Cocoon. Yeah. Did you say Cocoon?
We should probably say Cocoon like Raccoon. Cocoon like Raccoon.
Cocoon.
I loved Cocoon when I was a kid.
Are you kidding me?
Did you see Cocoon The Return?
Did you see The Return?
I don't think so.
I think I stopped at Cocoon 1.
Cocoon The Return is just as good.
Cocoon and Cocoon 1.
How many Cocoons are there?
Cocoon 1 and Cocoon 2.
You just like saying Cocoon.
Cocoon.
Steve Guttenberg. How does someone Cocoon. Steve Guttenberg.
How does someone go from being Steve Guttenberg?
I mean, where is Steve Guttenberg?
His career should not be over.
It makes no sense.
This is what I don't understand.
Steve Guttenberg at one time was the biggest star.
The biggest star.
Every movie.
But he wasn't considered the biggest star.
That was the thing.
Steve Guttenberg was the biggest star. When he did three men and a little lady or three men and a baby
tom selleck still trumped him even though steve gutenberg at the time was the hot you know police
academy dude and everything well when we were kids he was a major star probably because we
loved comedy and police academy one was just a masterpiece so it it was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
How high did it really go?
Like seven?
I don't know.
I remember like seven had like jet skis.
Do you know the story of Police Academy?
The story is that-
So a buddy of mine directed it.
He directed-
Number 35.
He directed Police Academy.
He directed one and he was married to i think he
might have even directed uh the tom hanks movie we were talking about uh bachelor party anyway
his name is neil he directed it and he it's pretty much the story that i'm not completely
100 sure of this but it's the story that eddie murphy and um steve martin did where they make
the movie by sneaking it and everything like that.
He would sneak onto the Paramount lot at night until he got busted making this
movie or editing this movie,
one or the other.
Probably editing.
It's pretty hard to sneak onto the lot and make a movie.
Right.
Well,
anyway,
he,
or he was taking props or something like that for the movie.
But he directed a lot of episodes of clueless.
He was married to Amy heckling.
What's his name?
Joelle.
Will you look it up for us?
There are eight,
eight movies of police Academy.
No.
Eight.
Now,
if you're going to,
if you're listening and you don't know what we're talking about,
you only really need to watch one.
Cause it was a masterpiece when we were kids.
One of the best movies.
I don't think you could get away with a lot of the things the guy the actor who makes all the uh crazy sound effects
he michael winslow yeah he was just on um america's got talent or something like like bringing it back
doing his effects he wilson okay i could be wrong neil israel that's who it is Story by Neil Israel
He did a good job
Yeah he didn't direct it he wrote it
I thought he directed it that's weird
Well you're just full of misinformation today
I am so let's cut that all out
No it's all fine
Don't cut that out
I have a question
Do you remember the Simpsons episode
Where Homer joins the secret society of
stonemasons right and they have to sing the song yep and one of the lyrics is who made gutenberg a
star we did so well i don't know if it was really dissing Gutenberg
Is it dissing Gutenberg?
I don't think so
It's like an honor to be on The Simpsons
No they're saying that they control everything
I'm gonna name the movies that Gutenberg was in
Since you've sent me down this rabbit hole
Wait wait why don't you do it
After a quick break
We'll be right back
Nobody cares after the break Zach
We will listen.
We will also keep talking about scrubs,
but we'll also read Steve Guttenberg's IMDb page.
We'll be right back. Yes.

All right, Cocoon, three men and a baby.
Here we go.
Police Academy, three men and a baby, Police Academy 2, Police Academy 3, Police Academy 4.
It takes two.
Cocoon, do you remember him in Short Circuit?
Johnny Five is alive.
I don't remember Steve Guttenberg in Short Circuit.
Well, he's in one.
He's in one, not two.
So then he goes from Short Circuit to Three Men and a Little Lady.
Okay.
The Big Green, which was-
No, wait.
Sorry, wait.
He was Three Men and a Baby, then Three Men and a Little Lady.
No, Three Men and a Baby came after Police Academy 1.
So he was like hot on fire.
He went Police Academy 1, and then Three Men and a Baby.
Then he did a bunch of Police Academies.
In between that-
Oh, this is out of order.
I take this back.
Damn, man.
This is bullshit.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, okay?
No, no, no.
Because look, it does matter because I want you to see the streak and why he was a star.
He went to police academy, cocoon, short circuit, three men and a baby.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Those were the movies.
And then sequels.
He was also in he was
also in diner back in 1982 yes of course and his career began with diner i believe yeah and then
he returns in cocoon the return you're not saying it right cocoon cocoon cocoon all right let's move
on from steve goodenberg um but ladies and gentlemen see din Diner. See Police Academy 1. You don't have to watch 2 through 8.
See Cocoon.
Cocoon.
See The Big Green, too.
That's a great movie.
The Big Green?
I love The Big Green.
I never saw The Big Green.
It's a kid's movie about him coaching a soccer team in Alma, Texas.
Okay.
So, Donald, you and Carla go camping with your neighbors, and you eat squirrel chili.
Yeah.
So, you know, as most married couples find when they are married, you don't necessarily want to hang out with your single friends anymore because they're single, and you don't want to hear about single lifestyles anymore.
Okay. So you hang out with... That made me feel very good
because I'm in a relationship now,
but for many years,
I hung out with you
and I was single.
Yeah, but, you know,
we looked at you...
You endured me.
You tolerated me.
Yeah, we understood the situation
and we made a...
We made a pact
between each other
that we were going to allow you
into the relationship.
Anyway... Do you have couples that Casey loves going out to allow you into the relationship. Anyway.
Do you have couples that Casey loves going out with that you can't stand?
No.
Thank goodness.
Okay.
Thank goodness.
Zach, I love you.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
But we do have a bunch of friends that are like we go out as couples all the time.
Like the dudes don't hang out as dudes.
Right, right.
They only hang out when they're together with the wives.
Yeah.
Now, Turk tries to be a sport.
It turns out these people aren't really their neighbors.
They live in the woods behind your home.
Their house, yes, behind the apartment building
that we live in.
Which is very, very dangerous, dude.
And Carla is pissed that you couldn't just suck it up and eat some squirrel tail yes because she wants to
have legitimate relationship conversations with other relationships i don't know why carla was
so down to eat the poorly made squirrel chili she didn't want to eat it either she said she wanted
to go home also no but later she says And we could have hung out with them again
If you could have just eaten that squirrel tail
So listen I want you to understand something
If I eat it
Sorry if Turk eats it
We're all good and Carla doesn't have to eat anything
So that's you know what I mean
It's not that she had to eat it
She could eat very little
She could pretend to eat it and be like
I'm watching my weight Turk has to eat it. She could eat very little. She could pretend to eat it and be like, I'm watching my weight.
Turk has to eat that shit.
Okay, I got you.
So we learned in some backstory that Kelso hates bicycles because his father left him on a bicycle.
Not only a bicycle, his bicycle.
His bicycle, yes.
His father, Kelso's father loaded up his son's bicycle.
With all of his belongings. With suitcases.
Yeah, with all of his belongings.
He had a reason why he couldn't take the car because it was in the family name and they'd be able to track him down or something.
Something like that.
And he wouldn't be able to leave them forever.
Okay.
And then do you notice that he gives his son a handkerchief
and did you notice the handkerchief is in the dashboard of his car this many years later
i did not notice that you didn't notice that you got that from wiki i noticed it but then
scrubs wiki mentions it it's a little easter egg for those of you that like easter eggs
you got that from wiki man i swear i, I always credit Trevor and his Wiki posse.
I happen to notice that.
Wiki did have a problem with the sand, as we are,
because the amount of sand isn't matching up.
Also, once the sandcastle's taken down
and the janitor's sitting on a pile of it
and it saves Ted once he loses in a game of chicken
to Kelso on his bicycle,
it's not nearly the amount of sand
that would be required
to make that sandcastle.
Okay?
No, not even close.
Then part like G that's fucked up about this sandcastle
is then at the end of the episode,
we're back on the roof with the sand again.
So did we lug the sand back up?
Maybe he didn't get all the sand off the roof.
So you're saying...
No, I'm not saying anything.
I'm just saying follow the logic. I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying follow the logic.
Ted was almost drowned.
There's nothing logical about this from the beginning.
You can't follow the logic.
There's no way.
Bill, phone this one in.
I'm sorry.
Although it was written by Tad Quill,
who's a very talented writer, and I love him.
But this one's got some gaps in it.
This one is not living up
to my season five standards.
Oh, you didn't like this one?
It's okay.
What about when I duct tape prosthetic arms
to my body?
No, you borrowed prosthetic arms.
I borrowed.
So I went to a patient and say, hey, I have to beat my colleague in a contest.
Can I borrow your prosthetic arms?
Mm-hmm.
And he's like, sure.
Mm-hmm.
Here.
But they're not even prosthetic arms, by the way.
They're like mannequin hands.
They're like mannequin hands.
With like stuffed animal sleeves.
Yeah.
How would anyone use those as prosthetic arms?
That made no sense.
What's the door?
What about when I go cocks,x i go you should punch him he goes i'm gonna punch him and i and i take the mannequin hand and i'm like i bet his face is soft it's so random
what about the dorian and cox clinic in tallahe? Is that where I want to do it?
Or was it Jacksonville?
Jacksonville.
I don't know why my fantasy for our partnership is in Florida.
That could have been a spinoff.
That could have been a spinoff.
I know.
Johnny and I fucked up.
We should have had our spinoff. That would have been our version of Joey.
Anyway, right before Kelso runs over Ted, he screams,
Why'd you leave me, daddy?
And then the janitor goes, now we got leverage.
Yeah.
And then Ted falls for the okey-doke anyway, man.
Like, that's the, like, what a sad. I feel bad for Ted.
Yeah.
What a sad sack.
The janitor tries to negotiate for him.
Yeah.
Ted doesn't know anything about being a lawyer.
The janitor's kind of explaining to him what leverages.
The most fucked up part of the whole thing is when Kelso comes into the office and he's like,
now that it's just you and me, let's have a conversation.
No, he goes, no, it's worse.
He goes, now it's just me and you, no lawyers.
Yeah, no lawyers.
First of all, Ted must really like the WNBA because he first bribes him with a WNBA All-Stars tickets.
He's like, yes!
Yeah, right away.
We also learned that Ted works weekends for Kelso because all he ever gets in the end is...
Seven weekends off out of the year.
Seven Sundays off out of the year seven sundays off out of the year
i think it's seven sunday afternoons off that is correct
and he gets a random bust of himself yes of himself with a removable hairpiece yes and and
two wmba all-star tickets um i don't know why Kelso chose as the gifts to have a bust made of Ted.
He knows Ted.
He knows that he could give Ted anything,
and Ted's going to be appreciative because he gives him nothing ever.
Or maybe he thought that Ted was just so insecure and such a basket case
that only great men, quote unquote,
have a stone bust of themselves.
And maybe he thought that that would just tickle his ego
in the right place.
And then the stone hair piece.
Yeah.
That's the crazy.
He got a stone toupee.
I just don't understand the writer's room this week
when they were like, OK, what are going
to be Kelso's offerings?
He should get him a bust of himself.
With a removable hairpiece.
With a removable hairpiece.
Removable stone hairpiece.
Right.
That's the Kappa.
That's what starts.
That's like, that opens up negotiations right there.
Ted's very, Ted likes it at first, but then he really likes it.
Yeah.
Just do it.
So, okay.
JD and Cox are going through the five stages of grief alongside, well, Miss Welk.
We don't really even see her.
She's already at the end.
She's dealt with it.
She's made her peace.
Yeah.
It's a very emotional episode.
At the end of it, I really wanted Casey to be watching it with me
because she was so invested in the episode that came right before this.
At the end of it, it was sad.
It was exactly what I expected.
They warned me at the beginning of the show.
Bill and the writers warned us at the beginning of the show.
This is going to be a different episode.
Yeah, we'll have comedy in it, but at the end of this episode,
she's not going to be here anymore.
And we're letting you know this now.
Did you notice that in the cafeteria,
you have the same brand of root beer on your tray
as the one JD used his three-tap methadone?
I did not.
Again, that is not from Scrubs Wiki.
I noticed it. Bullshit.
Easter eggs, baby.
Bullshit. You don't pay attention to shit like that, do you?
I do. Really?
I love it when I see little stuff like that.
Do you love it when you see a boom mic drop in?
No, I hate that, but you don't see that anymore.
Do you remember when you used to see that all the
time you used to see it all the time sometimes it has to do with like how it's been reframed
for television yeah yeah because sometimes you'll see boom mic like 10 times and it's just because
like somehow when they transferred it they they they did it too wide right and like in just a few
inches matters and all of a sudden you see boom mics in every fucking shot yeah there weren't a
lot of major events in this episode.
Well, Elliot's in love with Keith.
That's major.
Well, yeah, that's the end of the show.
Other than someone passing away, Elliot finds love at the end of the show.
And that's really cool.
She does a cute little lip bite.
You know I'm a sucker for a lip bite.
Everybody does a lip bite.
She does one of these.
Whenever they do the lip bite.
Yeah.
It's not an Alicia Silverstone Habsie like this?
That's the best.
The Habsie Alicia Silverstone version.
Oh, Alicia mastered that, as we know.
Did you ever ask her to do that for you?
Like, I should ask her the next time I see her,
be like, can you just do the lip bite one time?
I don't know.
But she really was the master of it.
But Elliot gives a little variation on it in this episode,
which I appreciated.
I love a lip bite.
And it's very sweet when Foley finally comes around
and says something kind.
She was lucky to have you two as doctors.
But I feel like it's condescending too, though, man.
I know it's not meant to be, but his character throughout the show is so condescending. It doesn't feel earned. I don't want to say it doesn't feel earned. That's not what I'm saying.
like it feels like there's a butt at the end of that shit too even with you guys going with uh finally getting to acceptance and realizing she's gonna that she's leaving it still feels like
because of how the characters played throughout the episode that he's not really sincere about it
i didn't think that i disagree i thought he was a dick and I didn't like him.
I mean,
I was meant to not like him.
He's supposed to be abrasive
and annoying.
But at the end,
I thought he was sincere
when he said that.
But that's why,
I think that's why
I loved it so much
when the car
whacks his bike
and takes it away.
That was funny.
You know what I mean?
But you know what I mean?
But you know,
like it's like
Even though he
Kelso hasn't learned his lesson though
He's still taking people out on bicycles
Good
Good
There should be a next episode
Where Dave Foley
Has leverage
Is suey
Right
Yeah
And the show ends
With a beautiful
Pearl Jam song
The Long Road
I love me some Eddie Vedder
You a big Pearl Jam fan I love Pearl Road. I love me some Eddie Vedder.
You a big Pearl Jam fan?
I love Pearl Jam and I love Eddie Vedder.
I just think his voice is just very special to me.
I think he's just a...
There were a lot of Pearl Jam albums that
I loved.
Is that your youth?
They got some more coming out.
Is that your college years, Pearl Jam?
Definitely.
Definitely college years.
Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam.
I do like some.
You know what I like?
1979.
Yeah.
Justine never knew the rules.
We could play it for you right now if I allowed us to.
With the freaks and ghouls.
for you right now.
Hung out with the freaks and ghouls.
It's a live wire tripping like a stone.

That's a PlayStation game or it's a Nintendo game, though.
PlayStation. Yeah, that's what I thought. All right, go ahead. That's a PlayStation game or it's a Nintendo game? PlayStation.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
All right, what other games are you playing, Taylor?
Diablo 3.
I have a kick-ass game on there.
Nice.
Nice.
I used to have a Necromancer,
but my husband had to reset everything
when he got the new Xbox,
so I lost my Necromancer.
You got a new Xbox?
You got a new Xbox?
How come you got a new Xbox?
She said she's got every game system.
All but the PS4.
Or PS5, excuse me.
Does anybody have a PS5?
Joelle and Dan will have them.
We do.
I was going to say, Joelle and Dan will do.
I'm sorry, hold on.
They bragged about it.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda.
Hoda. Hoda.
Come on. Hoda.
How the fuck did you get
a PS5? Danil?
I hunted down the internet like
crazy. I was on the websites every
damn day beating the bots
at every moment. Hoda. Hoda. Hoda.
Sounds like you're saying Hodor. Hodor.
Hodor. Hodor.
Hold the door.
Yes.
How much did you pay for your PS5?
Retail.
Retail.
Both of them.
Bale doesn't fuck with second market.
Come on.
All right, listen.
Donald, I'm sure you could get a fucking PS5 if you want. You can do it.
Not for retail.
All right.
All right.
They're really hard to get, especially out here.
They're almost always...
Where are you, Taylor?
Utah.
Utah. Are you in Salt Lake City, Utah?
No, I'm a little bit
more south. I'm in Provo.
Provo, Utah.
Do you like where you live?
It's not bad.
Are you a snowboarder or skier?
I'm neither.
I've been in Utah my whole life, and I don't do either.
It feels like a hobby you might want to pick up, Taylor.
You're living in one of the most beautiful skiing places in North America.
I know, but I fall when standing, so I'm scared of what happens when I'm on board.
All right.
Well, welcome to the show.
Oh, wait, I have one more question about gaming,
and you can all answer, okay?
Because I think this is,
sometimes we talk about gaming on the show,
and I'm just thinking of the audience.
Some of them might go,
oh, I don't game, I'm bored.
So if someone were to be,
to look for a great game,
to be their first, like, okay, i'm going to explore the world of gaming
so not something that's so incredibly hard and all these other people are going to yell at me
and call me a noob but something that i would really get into and be like oh i can play this
at a beginner level it's beautiful this is cool i might like being a gamer zach i'm gonna get you
a switch man because i really think you should play breath
of the wild i'm telling you right now dude this game was made for someone like you who's not
necessarily into gaming but is like curious about well what is everybody kind of playing right now
it's in the format of like what call of duty like, kind of. Oh, but it's only on Switch?
It's only on Switch.
It's not over the shoulder, but it's like a third-person shooter, pretty much.
But it's an open world.
I don't want to harm anyone. Well, you fight goblins.
I'll hurt goblins.
Imaginary monsters.
And then not only that.
I can hear my father saying, what are those poor goblins and their families?
What about their goblin family? But not only my father's saying what are those poor goblins and their families what about their goblin family but not only that it has puzzles like so many puzzles
brilliant puzzles like similar like 3d type tetris type things like everything is a riddle
everything is like to do it on when he twerks on his stream that was one i'm sure that was one of
the things that they want well there's a Well, I'm saying this is for beginners because then you can get major level with it and get like Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto.
That wasn't my suggestion.
Red Dead Redemption 2.
So Daniel's suggestion is Red Dead Redemption 2.
Joelle?
Listen, it depends on what type of gamer you are.
I think Donald's got you pegged.
But if you're just chilling at home, stick with the Switch because Nintendo games are very user-friendly, very old school, but got into the new systems formatting of games.
So it's a nice blend of old school and new school.
I like Animal Crossing.
It's the game I recommended for my mother.
A lot of people love that game.
Yes.
You just build your little island and you never harm a soul.
Oh, is it like The Sims?
Is it like The Sims?
Yes. It's like Baby Sims with little animals. It's harm a soul. Oh, is it like the Sims? Is it like the Sims? Yes, it's like baby Sims
with little animals. It's cute and
fun. Okay, and I don't have to kill anyone.
No, and if your friends are playing,
you can go visit their islands and bring them
little gifts. Oh, Donald, can I come over to your island?
Absolutely not.
Wow. Is my
animal allowed to mount Donald's animal?
There is no mounting of any
kind in Animal Crossing.
No, no, no. It's a new patch. You can mount him.
I would like a sex patch.
Listen, if that is... Is there a sex patch?
See, I'm going to tell you something right now. I don't like what's happening.
This would make good video
games if you could be like, yo,
I'm going to come visit you, we
going to fuck, and then I'm going to leave, all
in the video game. I'm telling you right now,
make a great video game. I think it probably is that. Did you ever play Lead did you ever play leisure suit larry in the land of course in the land of the
lounge lizards best video game ever made when i was the first one the first one i couldn't believe
no leisure suit larry goes on the cruise too was dope that shit was fire those are sierra games
before joel and daniel's day but you some of you listeners know Sierra. You could play Leisure Suit Larry on your iPhone.
It exists.
Really?
Yeah.
The first one?
Well, it's kind of like the first one, but it's...
All right.
Come on.
Let's focus on Taylor.
Taylor, do you have a question for us?
I do.
It's a Star Wars question.
Oh!
By the way, Taylor's wearing a beautiful blue
Fake Doctors, Real Friends tank top.
Gotta represent.
With me riding Donald, which you too could get
if you like merch at cottonbureau.com.
You just look up Fake Doctors, Real Friends.
We have all sorts of gear.
There's everything you can think of.
Sorry.
Go ahead, Taylor.
It's all good.
It's super comp, by the way, to anyone listening.
Super comp.
Appreciate the endorsement. I know there have been a lot of Star Wars origins. go ahead taylor it's all good it's super comfy by the way to anyone listening super comfy appreciate
the endorsement i know there have been a lot of like star wars origins like we've seen um solo
we had um i guess luke in a sense and you know ray all those what star wars origin do you guys
want to see next wow good question you asked the right three people because they're gonna all geek out now
uh i want to see yoda's origin would be great but also maybe too much like the great thing about
yoda is that he's a mystery right so you don't want to learn too much so how do you know that
grew how do you know that grew grogu grogu is in yoda because his name is Grogu but maybe he changed his name
it's not
okay okay sorry timeline
is fucked up to be honest until this
moment I thought Grogu was Yoda
no
we've been calling him baby Yoda that's acceptable
that's totally acceptable
I think Qui-Gon Jinn as like
right before he becomes a Jedi Master
so he's already
got Obi-Wan his apprentice
oh well we did see that kinda
a little bit
but like before he becomes a Master
so we're going like maybe 15
Qui-Gon never becomes a Master he's a Knight
in the opening of Phantom Menace
but like 15 years before we get into
Phantom Menace
does he have Obi-Wan or does he have Dooku?
Is Dooku still his master?
Ooh.
Yeah, Dooku should definitely be his master because then you get the cool switch for Dooku.
Like seeing him do the full flip would be really intriguing.
I'm definitely about this.
Yeah, I think that's where I would go because you don't want to go.
Either that or you're going way back to origins and that's too much time to explain on this show.
So yeah, I think that's where I would go with it.
Baby Dooku.
Baby Dooku.

The Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
All right, your turn, Donald.
Who's your origin story of choice?
That's a tough one.
We've seen all of the main characters' origin stories.
Baby Lando?
No.
We know how Boba Fett's made.
We've seen it all.
I don't know if it's an origin story.
I know how Darth Vader's made,
but I'd like to see everything that happened in between Episode 4
and Revenge of the sith so that little tiny bit at the end of clone
wars gives you the tv series right well yeah you know that he's you know that he's hunting jedi and
stuff like that and you know that he does that against the rebels cast and everything like that
but i would love to see like we got a little bit of it in uh in rogue one
but i'd love to see vader in his prime that would be great um mine's a little bit more abstract but
i want to see the origin story for the program manager who built the death star the person who
was ordering all the little engineers around who were like, okay, so now you have to go install
the toilets. You saw it.
No, no, no. But I don't mean
Rogue One style of seeing
the plans of the Death Star. I mean
the person who was like, okay, we need
30 trillion tons of steel.
What asteroid are we
going to mine to get 30 trillion tons of steel?
Okay, we need this
many copper pipes. That's the most boring
movie ever in the history of the world.
Thank you. Yes, exactly.
It's our first comedy.
It's not even a comedy.
Remember when we had Neil on and we were
talking about Space Janitors?
Yes.
I want to see the Space Janitors movie for the Death Star.
That's what I want to see.
I will say this.
There was a show called Detours
that George Lucas
wrote on with my buddy
Seth Green and everybody over at Stupid
Buddy Studios.
It probably will never make
the air. I mean, I
hope it does one day, and I hope everybody
gets to see it. But it has a lot to do
with the behind the scenes of
what happens on the Death Star and how the Death Star was made.
And it follows some of the characters, some characters that you've never met before.
Is there a Star Trek show called Lower Decks or something?
Yes, there is.
What's that about?
Is that a comedy?
It is a comedy.
It's a cartoon comedy, yes.
And it's about people that work in the lower tiers of the ship?
Yeah.
That's a great premise. Yeah, that's a great premise, actually. It's's about people that work in the lower tiers of the ship? Yeah. That's a great premise.
Yeah, that's a great premise, actually.
It's kind of like Space Janitor.
Exactly like Space Janitor. Alright, what's the name of the little rat pet that Jabba the
Hutt has? Salacious Crumb.
Yeah, that's mine. I'd like to see his origin
story.
How did he become Jabba's bitch?
Well, that...
You know, those creatures... Donald's gonna be like, well, that's covered in Rebels, episode three. No, it's bitch? Well, that, you know, those creatures.
Donald's going to be like, well, that's covered in Rebels, episode three.
No, it's not.
It's not, but those creatures are also cooked and eaten in The Mandalorian.
Sure.
They're pets.
They're not necessarily.
That's like asking, what's the origin of my pet dog?
I want to see.
There's a lot of movies like that.
Okay.
Taylor, do you have an answer?
I think I'd have to go with Yoda, just because there's so much we don't know.
Like not so much that he gets completely ruined, but enough for us to be like, so that's where they come from or something like that.
Right.
The fact that they're so secretive right now and that we've only seen three total in this whole galaxy really makes it special.
And I wouldn't want that to go away.
You know what I mean?
All right.
Good one, Taylor.
You got everyone all riled up.
What's your next question?
Well, my next question actually goes back to gaming.
What was everybody's favorite game system
and the game that went with it?
Oh, wow.
Sega Genesis.
Sega Genesis.
When the Nintendo GameCube
came out and Bond dropped,
that changed
everything.
That changed
everything. I remember
my friends would come over to
my house just to play the fucking
video game and we'd smoke weed and play
the game for
hours and hours and hours.
And after that, now you have Call of Duty.
You have all of these games that are very similar to that.
But in the beginning, there was 007 and also, people don't remember this, Star Fox.
Somewhere my husband is cheering with joy because he loves those games.
Okay.
All right.
What about you, Joelle?
I'm going to say PlayStation 2 was the first console I felt was, like, for me.
And my parents let me put it in my room and not in the living room.
And it had a DVD player.
So, like, young cinephile Joelle got to, like, really explore movies independently of whatever my father wanted to watch, which was, like, a very new and, like, wide-open experience.
And then they had Final Fantasy X, which was an action game that involves magic,
but had a love story at its core.
Yes, I was done.
It was a perfect system.
It was perfect.
Daniel, PlayStation 4 and Rocket League.
That was the game that I was just like,
this game is so unique and different
and it is perfect for me.
And I have not stopped playing it 2,700 hours later.
All right.
I, I'm not much of an 2,700 hours later. All right.
I'm not much of an adult gamer, as we've discussed, but as a kid, I remember when the— First of all, I had ColecoVision, which was baller.
That is the best.
That was the best.
If you had ColecoVision when you were a kid, man, you knew you—
Because the games looked just like the fucking arcade, man.
Yep.
Just like the arcade.
ColecoVision was baller to have.
And then I remember when the first nes came out it came with
a robot do you remember this or if you've not you can see pictures of it it came with like
i think it was their very first system and it came with like this little tiny robot that was
you were somehow supposed to use with one of the games wow uh yeah google image it if you're curious
rob yeah oh my god rob it'd be a great thing to have on your shelf.
Buy him on eBay as a gaming...
Hey, good present for your husband, Taylor.
Find him a Rob on eBay.
Because the first system came with this thing,
and I didn't know what the hell he did,
but he was supposed to work, but he didn't,
but he looked cool.
There you go.
What's your answer, Taylor?
Mine would have to be the original PlayStation Spyro game. There you go. What's your answer, Taylor?
Mine would have to be the original PlayStation Spyro game.
Thank you.
Oh, I love it.
Always a part of my heart forever and always.
Love it.
Love it.
We got them remastered on the PlayStation 4,
and it made me so happy.
It's time for Provo, Utah's favorite segment, Donald.
Which segment is that?
You know what it is. It's time to fix your life!
Taylor, you seem like your life's going great.
You're married.
You're gaming.
You live in Provo, Utah, but you don't like to ski.
You're gaming.
Everything seems great.
You got a big smile.
I don't know what possible help you could need, but we're here for you.
Well, I need help with my Scrubs tattoo.
I can't find a good original idea for a Scrubs tattoo.
I got it already.
What is it?
I got my Deathly Hallows.
I got a family one there, but I need a Scrubs one.
Wow.
This is a very good question.
We've never been asked this. Donald? I got aubs one. Wow. Okay. This is a very good question. We've never been asked this.
Donald?
I got a great one.
Get the x-ray.
No, no, no, no.
Well, you mean with the scrubs on it?
She might not want, like, the word scrubs on it.
No, don't get scrubs on it.
Just get the backwards x-ray on you.
No, I don't like that.
That's so big, though.
I don't think I got enough room put it on your back
the whole back just do your back um let me think of a good answer yes i'm very into um well i've
seen people with the eagling i've seen eagle tattoos of me riding donald and our fists are
up like that um oh sorry yeah like like that. But what are other like seminal...
Joelle, help us out here.
What are other
like seminal moments?
You could get the tiki
and write,
na-na-na-na.
I've seen those.
I've seen those.
I've seen those.
I've seen some
where it's just like...
It was like a heart
and then it was just
Carla and Turk,
which I obviously loved.
This is so cute.
Classic Scrubs moment.
You could get two like hands with including the wrist and the,
the brown wrist has a bracelet on it that says JD and the white wrist has a
bracelet on it that says Turk.
They have matching bracelets that say Turk and JD.
Yeah.
That's why I'm matching bracelets that say Turk and JD.
You know, I'll stick by you for the rest of my life.
You're the only one who's ever been inside of me.
Wait.
Taylor.
Taylor.
I just took out his appendix.
Taylor, I just took out his appendix.
There's no need to clarify.
Oh, no.
Just let him grow more and more each day.
It's like I married my best friend, but in a totally manly way.
Let's go.
My favorite part of the let's go is that we just point to the end of the bed.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go sing 18 inches away.
Yeah.
Let's sing the rest of the song over there.
Let's finish the rest of the song 18 inches to the right.
Let's go!
You can do a chocolate bear
and a vanilla bear.
I think that'd be really cute.
Also, quotes are great. Are you looking for images
or quotes? I'm good with either
or. I just kind of want something
that nobody's really thought of yet
because I've seen the scrubs,
the words and the x-ray
and the eagle and I actually Cause I've seen like the scrubs, you know, the words and the x-ray and the Eagle.
And I've actually think I've seen a couple chocolate and vanilla bears.
Have you ever seen,
have you ever seen Frick on a stick with a brick?
No.
Someone photoshopped me riding an Eagle.
Um,
and I think if you added Donald to it,
it could be great.
It would have to be the two of you.
I can't have one without the other.
No, I know.
I love you, Taylor.
Taylor, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Wait, what's the name of that giant dog bird in Neverending Story?
Are you kidding me?
Falco.
Okay.
Falco or Falcor?
Falcor.
Okay.
So picture like a Falcor-sized eagle and me and Donald are riding it.
Neverending Story. No, you can make it small taylor it doesn't have to be i've never seen never ending story justice is to have it as a big old leg piece or back piece what i've never seen never ending story
are you gonna be all upset at me now no because it's you've aged out so it's not gonna it doesn't
hold oh so joelle says it doesn't hold up. I agree with her 100%.
It doesn't.
It's boring.
Does the Ron Howard movie, fantasy movie, live up?
What's it called?
Willow, yes.
Willow's still good.
Okay.
Willow is still good.
Daniel, do you agree?
I don't think I've actually seen Willow.
But I agree that Never Ending Story does not hold up.
Yeah.
Okay.
Willow's just like died for a minute.
Yeah, Joel gets very passionate when-
Willow is a great-
Willow is a great-
I mean, there was rumors that they were going to do a television show for it.
I don't know if that's ever going to happen, but freaking the movie, Val Kilmer.
I watched a great documentary on his life.
I heard about this.
You know, a lot of people a lot of people
when they come into the world they have passions and vals was val kilmers was uh cameras so his
whole life he always had a video camera type things ever since he was younger so super eight
cameras so he has a warehouse or something like that filled with all types of footage from his life.
Like when he did a play with him, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon.
Like the three of them were in a play together on Broadway.
Like shit like that.
Like it's like this dude's lived an incredible life,
and all we've seen is just some of his big hits and stuff like that.
But he's, you know, there's a reason why he's so quirky
and everything like that.
Where everybody else was out trying to have a good time, it seemed like this dude was just solely focused on his craft.
Very much like Sean Penn seemed solely focused on his craft.
And now he's lost his voice to throat cancer, right?
Yes, to throat cancer, yeah.
And the documentary is about his whole journey.
I'm definitely going to watch that.
I might watch that tonight.
Yeah, it's very interesting, man.
Very interesting.
All right.
Taylor, you're welcome.
So many ideas. You got some're welcome. So many ideas.
You got some ideas.
I'm going to tell you something right now.
I got the perfect one for you, okay?
Just Donald's face.
Just Donald's face.
Don't put my face on your face, but put my face on your cheek.
No, don't get a face tattooed, Taylor.
Get my face.
Whenever I see these. Whenever I see these. on your cheek like don't get a face tattoo taylor get my face yeah but whenever i see whenever i but every time anybody sees you they'll be like holy shit look at your face

I don't think face tattoos are wise, but maybe I'm just old.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't like face tattoos either.
It's like one in a thousand to look anywhere near good.
So no, I don't think it's just not worth the roll of the dice.
So Taylor, no face. But I think Taylor on your face, my face, my face on your cheek.
I don't think your husband will like it.
Your husband will love it.
Your husband will kiss it.
He'll kiss that cheek more than he kisses the other cheek.
I bet you that.
If you came home and you're like,
hon, I got a tattoo of Donald Faison on my face,
I don't think he'd like that.
He'd love it.
He'd ask me how drunk I was.
That's what he'd do.
He would kiss that cheek so much.
How about just Donald's cheek
Get Donald's cheek on your cheek
Just get Donald's beard
Like right here
Just get Donald's mole
That's even better
You should take a picture of my face
And then have the tattoo artist

I just want everybody to just
be mindful of your neighbors
and of your loved ones
and check on them.
It seems like we're going
backwards but still moving forwards
