I like your spectacles. I like the clear frames. These are new. What do you think? I noticed. They're cute. You know, it's very popular in the city of Manhattan to be rocking clear glasses right now.

And I said to myself, I think I could pull it off. So you got yourself some clear frames. Yeah. I rocked these clear frames. Are you feeling it? I love it. I'm out here in Los Angeles, Donald, for the Emmy Awards. Are you nominated?

I am nominated, Donald. Yes, yes, yes. For Comedy Director of the Year.. Are you nominated? I am nominated, Donald, for Comedy Director of the Year. I hope you win. I don't know if I'm going to win. Joelle, you're very pop culture savvy. I didn't say I know you're going to win. I said I hope you win. Well, of course I hope.

And Amanda Klutz and my stepmother, who are both very big manifestors and whiteboarders. A lot of the stuff I say to all of you listeners, I got from my stepmother initially, and then Amanda Kloots' Miss Whiteboard. She actually is going to be on Dancing with the Stars and has had Dancing with the Stars on her whiteboard forever.

Well, one down. I'm just asking you, Joelle, you are a pop culture specialist. Yes. What are my odds? Pretty good, because odds are it's going to go to Ted Lasso. Now, some would say, sorry to interrupt you, my queen, but some would say if there's three directors from the same show that the vote could be split. That could happen. But I have a feeling that Ted Lasso is really going to dominate the entire evening.

And I don't know. I was trying to see if there were Vegas bets on these like they do for the Oscars. That's a good question, Joelle. Well, variety. Do you know the publication variety? I'm familiar. The publication variety said I was most likely to win. Oh, that gives me five i feel like

look here here's the thing this is how i feel about it i'm very i it is no bullshit i know everybody says this but it is pretty freaking exciting for little old me who dreamed of making movies and tv shows to be one of the people nominated for comedy director of the year i'm very very very honored by that of Of course I want to win, but I'm pretty stoked just to be invited to the party. Dude, this is how I'm looking at it, okay? One, yeah, it's cool to be invited to the party and everything like that.

Yes. But in my opinion, Go ahead. I've only seen the Ted Lasso's. Your episode, by far, out of all of the two others besides yours, is the more important one and the more creative one because you're really – it's the second episode. So you're taking what the pilot did and you're taking what's going to happen. Okay, so look.

It's like the handoff to the running back. Boom. Here, Zach, run with. It's like the handoff to the running back. Boom. Here, Zach, run with it. This is the tools I have. What can you add? Everything that you did in that, whoever followed also watched your dailies, also freaking said, okay, well, we're going to have to add this now. So it's like, you know what I mean? You kind of have an edge just because you create i helped yes yes that's what i'm trying to say

i hear you so you have to give that speak can we go back in time and could you call no just remember if you do win if you do win it's just like this if you do win it's pronounced fazan fazan is it no no no no motherfucker fazan fazan donald fazan that's all i want to i don't know i better hear that specific call out motherfucker if i don't hear that in the speech i'm gonna be so pissed off you know oh my god it'll be like when turk when jd went to disneyland without turk it'll be it'll hurt my heart motherfucker all right calm down do you know like we all if you're in the arts. Oh, back to drinking during the podcast. This is a nice little.

Don't worry. It's only 1.30 in the afternoon. This is a nice little IPA. It's citrusy. I've learned a few things about myself. I learned that I like my weed citrusy, and I like my beer citrusy. Are you high as well today? No, I'm not.

I got a right, dude, all day. Oh, okay. This is my. It's like a Sam Adams at lunch. I see. Remember those commercials remember those commercials your hemingway boost as they yeah remember those uh commercials like you know the italians when they make movies they drink wine at lunch you're like them i love it i'm like anyone out there who's like you know what it's fucking one o'clock. I think I'm going to have a beer with my burger for lunch. Okay. I'm one of those.

Very British. The English like to have a little beer sometimes at the pub at lunch. Do you not drink beer anymore? You know, I used to drink beer a lot. I used to love IPAs and pale ales. A lot. I used to love IPAs and pale ales. And I got off when I kind of gave up gluten.

I stopped drinking beer. Now, they do have some really good – they have a brand called Omission. It has a great gluten-free pale ale. But I don't really drink beer anymore. I miss it actually. I love certain beers. But it makes me very bloated and gives me acid reflux. So I knew that that wasn't the best for me. That sucks.

And it makes me burp. Hey, wait. What did you say? Oh, you were on your tear about how I should win and how you want to be thanked. Oh, what I wanted to say is, you know, if you're a creative person, your whole life you've been thinking of, like, daydreaming in the shower of holding the, holding the shampoo bottle of what you would say. And I never planned it out because I just think it's, that's, I don't like when people get up there and just read a card. So I'm just trying to think of like,

you have 30 seconds. Like, how would you, how would you say all that you want to say in 30 seconds? It's pretty true. Donald Faison, I love you so much. Everybody else.

Thank you so much for supporting me. Joelle, can you imagine I get up there and go, oh, my gosh. I want to thank Bill and Jason so much. This is such an honor and the whole cast and crew. I really want to spend the rest of the 20 seconds on Donald Faison. Listen, when I say your fans will go nuts. I better hear my name. If you did that, not only the laughing from the audience, but also your fans would go fucking nuts.

Like, now that is a true bromance. So you're saying I should just skip my parents, skip my team, just focus on you. I want to spend this evening talking about a bromance. My 20 seconds. A bromance. My 20 seconds. A bromance like no other. But wait a second.

You out there in Hollywood and in the rest of the world, you could only hope to have a relationship like mine. Oh, I should shame the rest of the community. Shame them for not being to our standards. Don't you think some of our other close friends will be bummed if I only thank you?

No. No, they won't be. No, I think they'll get it. I think Raiden will get it. Raiden's in Stockholm, I think, so he won't even know. Dude, he hit me up, man. He hit me up last, I guess it was this morning. Last night for him him morning for me and he was like i'm in the pub

and some dude had a stormtrooper ring on and i had the exact stormtrooper ring but mine was given to me by this dude richard who was the costume guy on kick-ass 2 when i was in london and this guy got the guy that was sitting next to raiden got his from a store in London. So they could have got it at the same store. It was freaking pretty awesome to one. Are you going to be dressing up your children for Halloween and such? Oh, my God. Yeah, of course.

Whatever they want their kids. Are they going to be up their childhood? No, I'm saying, are you going to dress up alongside them? I guess it's really my question you know i my wife and i have uh done it to a certain degree um my kids always crush halloween you know what i mean wilder crushes halloween what does she want to be has that come up yet or is it too early it has you know who she really likes right now is Kamala Harris. She wrote a letter to Kamala that was so fucking awesome. It was like, hey, Kamala Harris, my name, I just want you to know, I think you're really smart. I'm smart, too.

You know, I'm smart, too. Terwell holds in her tears. Oh, my God. I might actually cry. That's so beautiful. But it was like she wrote the letter. I can't say it verbatim, but she wrote a bunch of them. She wrote one to Kamala Harris.

She wrote one to her grandmother, to her G-mom, to her friends at school. Was this a school thing or just on her own? No, she's just really, she's really, you know, the school that we put our kids in is really good for them and is teaching them uh to express themselves and she came home she's like you know i'm a writer you know my daughter thinks she's a lot of things she thinks she's an athlete she thinks she's a dancer and she thinks she's a singer and she

thinks she's a writer you know but but you know i am all for all of that and the fact that she came home from school and her teacher has her inspired and has her wanting to be a writer is really awesome. Well, to you teachers out there, look at the difference you make in a kid's life. Truly. Amen. No doubt. No doubt. All right.

Okay, so I got one other thing that I want to talk about. Go ahead. Speaking of children and stuff like that. Go ahead. So remember how I was talking about when me and my wife get together now, it's a party. I didn't mean like, I don't mean, first of all, I don't mean like we have a bunch of other people in the room. No, you mean that Casey is in a phase where she is meeting you where your libido is. Occasionally.

You know what I mean? Like, hold on. When she wants, when it's time to, when, look. Okay, so this is what I've learned. Maybe things are changing because of her. Quality and quantity are two different things. Quality is way better than quantity. Although I really like quantity, quality is fire.

What's going on over at that house? Quality is fire, right? And so, you know. Wait, before you go on, do you think there's anything you've done to change in such a way that's made her shift? I'm the worst. I am the worst. Like, she does everything when it comes to our living. I know, you're a spoiled little brat.

You're a spoiled brat. Dude, it's like if you had a fucking wife, it would be the same fucking thing. No. Do you cook, Zach? No. Right. Do you clean, Zach? No.

Okay. Right then and there, you and me, well, I cook. But with the not cleaning part, you and I are exactly alike. Exactly alike. Exactly alike. This is an issue. Do you play with them? Do you play with them? Of course I play with my children. But listen, listen. This is an issue. Do you play with them? Do you play with them?

Of course I play with my children. But listen, listen. This is an issue in relationships. If you don't clean, you are hate. Can I get a mm-hmm from all the housewives or wives out there who spend time putting their energy into making their home spotless. Can I get a mm-hmm? If a motherfucker don't clean, that motherfucker is an asshole in a lot of ways. Hello, I'm one of them.

I'm just putting it out there. Okay, so. I have done nothing. So what do you think has shifted that she's now feeling you a smidgen more and getting a little more naughty? I don't know what it is, man. Don't fuck it up. I know. Whatever it is, I'm like.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke. But I got. Listen, I'm like, I can't do this. Not helping her out with shit stuff much longer. Or I think this wave that's crossing the shore, it'll end. Okay, now listen, I'm only in town until Tuesday. Do you need help with the whirlybird? Oh my God.

Dude, the whirlybird? Dude, the whirlybird I will wear my Bose I will wear my Bose noise cancelling headphones and a sleep mask. What is the whirlybird? That's the one we talked about where Casey came in and said

no, where you'd arch like a table and she spins. This is something that Scrubs came up with? It's mentioned Sarah, right? Sarah, now that Elliot, sorry, Elliot, now that she's in her very sexual phase, tries the whirlybird. I was watching Titans,

which is a show on HBO Max. It's a show about all of the superheroes, the sidekicks, and they become superheroes, right? Mm-hmm. They mention the whirlybird on that show. The latest episode, not only do they mention the whirlybird, but this guy-

But not in a sexual way, probably. No, it is in a sexual way. Really? This guy is watching two people go at it like at a peep show and they say we'll do the whirlybird but that'll cost you extra and the girl goes yeah the whirlybird costs extra well i won't charge you for my participation in the whirlybird so wild like scruff's supposed to be having some kind of weird like resurgence maybe people are starting to reference it more.

Because Stephen Colbert on his show last night mentioned Dr. Acula. And I was like, now, wait a second. That's not your joke. Yes. The whole Dr. Acula bit. But was it Scrubs related?

Or was he just sort of stealing? No, just Dracula doctor, Dr. Acula. And I'm like, that is. Scrubs did it first. Oh, that's lame if he stole it. Probably the Simpsons. I hope he didn't steal that. I hope this is... Scrubs did it first. Oh, that's lame if he stole it. I hope he didn't steal that.

I hope this is something that he just came to. I don't know if Stephen Colbert has ever watched Scrubs. But just put it out in the ether. If you did, dude, that's our shit, bro. Yeah, well, listen, in this episode, JD invents the GoPro. He does invent the fucking GoPro. I wrote the same thing. All right, let's get into it.

Let's get into it. Five, six, seven, eight. I said stories about a show we made About a bunch of doctors and nurses And a janitor who loved me I said he's got stories that we all should know So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our

Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. Mm-hmm. I'm not gonna lie to you. I thought we ran out of comedy. I thought this show was gonna be, I thought this episode was not gonna be funny

when it started off. I was like, eh, it's okay. But by the end of it, I gotta tell you, bro, I was laughing out loud. All right, but let me ask you guys something. All right, because I thought this was a little weird. Now, we should mention this is written by Angela Nissel, who's a very, very talented African-American female comedy writer. What did you both as African-Americans think about this whole Cox sort of calling out Turk on his level of of blackness i thought it was odd but maybe i'm

wrong i think that's every like i think that's a lot of african american males uh what's the word i'm looking for it's not a weakness but it's like a worry that they're gonna be treated that you're not black enough. Right. So you're saying it's a real concern. I say it's a concern for some people. I do believe some people feel like, you know. You know, I'm not I'm not as connected to the people as I would like to be to my people as I would like to be,

you know, but at the end of the day, there's no way anyone can tell you you're not black. You can kiss my ass. I know, but wasn't it weird? I mean, it just felt maybe it was just the,

maybe it was just a bit dated, but the idea that, I mean, obviously clearly Cox would never do this today, but it just felt a little odd that the whole, the whole arc of you and Cox in this story is him challenging how black you are. Yeah, but you know what?

When you feel like that, you got to ask yourself, well, how much have I given back to the community? How much have I contributed to my people? Yeah, but I mean, in the episode, it's not that. I mean, just for- Yeah, it is. In a lot of ways, it is. Turk's whole thing is, you the episode, it's not that it's, I mean, just for, yeah, it is in a lot of ways. It is Turk's whole thing is, you know,

I'm cool because I'm black. All the bullshit that you guys have, all the bullshit that white people have, uh, uh, how they've oppressed black people. God has given us coolness. And therefore there's no way I'm,

I'm cheese, dude, you're cheese. There's no way I'm i'm cheese dude you're cheese there's no way i'm not i'm cheese because i'm black and he's like well what are your thoughts on this um for the time period it makes a lot of sense if you look at a white flight where there's a lot of like people leaving the inner city right and that becomes like a black cultural hub then because only black people i was raising the burbs i certainly had thoughts like this of like where am i black enough what does that mean and and at the end of the like coming out of that

decade though there was a lot of people being like if you just are like you don't have to there's no you don't have to prove it there's no bar you have to clear you just get to be black and that's not consistent so i would say yes to your point zach it is dated but in that era it was a very true and genuine feeling i remember a kid in my high school who was very smart and um he hung out with all the white kids and he was um he would definitely say that he felt ostracized from some of the other black kids at the high school oh dude you get ostracized for being light-skinned and and dude you know what i mean like like straight up like for real man or dark skin it doesn't matter man it's just prejudice within

within our own communities man i remember my brother my brother would be like well you're adopted and i'd be like well how am i adopted he's like he's like because look at your skin you're white because because my skin was lighter than his dude when we were kids man but the opposite of that is like did that guy choose to have any black because there's like also you know i've certainly run into black people who don't want anything to do with other black people and that's suspect that's like what's happening here and why you know i was looking at my instagram right and my instagram is me and a bunch of white people my wife's white zach's white you know what i mean like a bunch and then and then then when i dive in even deeper it's like all right there are black men on my page but the amount of black women on my page you need to post with joelle

more it's like it's like my mom it's like my mom and that's pretty much it i think taraji's up there i got taraji p up there and then like that covers a lot of ground like it's gonna get you a lot of extra like bonus points taraji gets you extra points of course she's the best but you know what I mean? It's like when you, listen, man, there's no way anyone can ever question the fact whether I'm black or not. I know I'm black. You know what I mean?

Like kiss my ass, dude. Like if that, if that's your argument, if that's your argument, well, you got white friends. So, and I'm black. Have you ever had a white person challenge your blackness before? Cause I have. It's just weird to have that coming from a white person.

It's so strange. How can you challenge my blackness? They basically were saying that they were basically like, oh, well, you're not black. And I was like, but both of my parents are black and I have an Afro.

Like, I just don't know what more you need. Like I, and then it was weird because then I had to like talk to my friends. I'm like, why is this bothering me? Cause it shouldn't have fazed me at all. Like this person doesn't know me. Like they certainly don't know anything about my culture or my history. But I had to, I was, I was mad about it. Yeah.

Yo, you know what? You know, OJ kind of fucked it up when he said. I was really upset. I'm kidding. Yo, you know what? You know what? OJ kind of fucked it up when he said, I'm not black, I'm OJ, man. That kind of fucked up a lot of shit. You know what I mean? It's like, wait, what did you just say, dude?

It's like- Whatever happened to him? Well, how about this? How about this how about this he got black real quick it took a minute but it did happen how about um let's talk about optimus prime the mural we are very talented painters um i don't know where jd am i doing all the work or are you helping? We've made a very very beautiful Optimus Prime mural in the baby's room I first of all

I just want to put a little asterisk if you hear chainsaws they've decided to take down a tree next door to me, they started about the second we started Is it a magical tree? No, it's just right around the time we hit record, they were like, let's do it, men.

Let's take down the tree. So I apologize. Is it green? Is it a green tree? I think it's a dead tree. I don't think people take down nice trees. Oh, okay. But if you listeners hear chainsaws, it's my fault. I'm sorry. What were you saying? Optimus Prime.

So, if anybody knows me you know that i grew up on the transformers cartoon yeah gi joe those were my jams growing up he-man also um and saturday not saturday mornings but after school on channel 11 wpix shout out new york city yeah um pics pics remember that remember did you have pics 11 WPIX. Shout out New York City. Yeah. Picks. Picks. Remember that? Picks. Picks. Picks. Picks. Video game.

Only people who grew up in New York our age know. Picks. Picks. Picks. Picks. Picks. Picks. Picks.

Picks. Anyway. So Optimus Prime has a really – Transformers is a part of my childhood. Who was your favorite Transformer? Growing up? Yes. See, so Cliffjumper was my favorite Transformer growing up. He was kind of rough.

He was kind of like Bumblebee. They make him a sucker in all the movies and stuff. Like, he gets killed in the movie. But in the cartoon, he survives in the 1986 cartoon. Him, Jazz. Have you seen every Transform incarnation i'm gonna be honest some of the michael bay's well all of the michael bay stuff uh i can't watch any of that it's kind of i can't do it i'm sorry i'm sorry i really find it unwatchable and it's no disrespect to

michael bay but i i think that no he's clearly a very good filmmaker i just don't want to watch metal fight metal i have no interest in that well you can't even see the metal fight the metal that's what i'm saying it's so close i just i've said this before i think it's like the ultimate example to me of when an action movie is not working when i don't even know what the hell's going on i can't follow it yeah anyway so uh but the cartoon, if you watched the cartoon, even to this day, it still holds up. Not the cartoon television show, because that's a dumbed down version of what the movie, but the 1986 cartoon, Transformers, the movie. Well, maybe if you have kids, show them the 1986 cartoon. No, you can't. Well, you can't. Why? It's very violent. Well, maybe if you have kids, show them the 1986 cartoon movie.

No, you can't. Well, you can't. Why? Why? It's very violent. Oh, it's violent. It's very violent, and there's curse words in it. Oh, so it was made for adults.

No, it was made for the kids that grew up on Transformers. So this is a quick, and then I promise you, listeners, we'll get back into Scrubs. We need to start Scrubs. All I've said is Optimus Prime, but go ahead. So back in the day, Transformers was a big product, and it had all of these episodes that were on television. I think it was almost like 100 episodes at this point. And the show was made to introduce new toys to the kids.

And so now they have all of these toys and they're like, we have a whole new line. We're going to kill, we're going to, we need to erase everything and introduce this new line. Let's make a movie and do it. What we're going to do in the movie though, is we're going to kill off everybody. Everybody that was in the show,

we're going to kill them off. Except for, you know, a few. And then we're gonna kill him off except for you know uh a few and then we're gonna introduce this new line they create the movie the movie comes out kids go and see the movie and cry when optimus prime the leader of the autobots is destroyed by megatron cry cry cry in the theater. People walk out. Don't even finish the movie.

It's not appropriate for kids. There's so much violence in it, man. Okay. So much violence in it. But such a fucking awesome movie. Wasn't there a competitor called GoBots? Still, to this day, I still feel like GoBots never got a shot.

And their transformation was way more futuristic, like Cop Tour and what was it, Cyclone? Cyclone or something like that? Where it was a cycle? Enough on transforming robots. Why am I putting the crib together? You guys are cuddling in bed

and I'm... Because you've got nowhere else to go'm because you got nowhere else to go i've got nowhere else to go um it is funny though when when when uh you hear me on the baby monitor and you're in you and she's like you go this time like i'm the baby so jd invented the gopro he straps a camera to a helmet. Yes. It goes to work so he can watch. Now, what is the reason for him putting it on? No, he's making it for his mom, right? We've never seen JD's mom, ever.

No. For some reason. He's going to make a video journal for his mom of what a day in his life is like. Yes. It doesn't last long um we see kelso stealing ice cream from the cafeteria we see uh everyone uh cox grabs the camera and says um i'm gonna be i'm gonna tell your mom that i'm mad at her uterus for making you and he goes bad uterus bad uterus, bad uterus. And then I go, she just had a hysterectomy last month, but I'm sure I could edit that part out.

Can I say one thing? I never realized how much Lonnie was on the show also. Holy cow. Lonnie's supposed to be a really good basketball player all of a sudden. That's all bullshit, and we'll get to that when we get to that part of the show. But anyway, the janitor kidnaps me and puts me in the water

tank on the roof. Where I could die. Let's be honest. I could drown. This was an excuse to have the janitor meet... I don't know why I'm not... It might be...

One time, Bill was like, I was so you know a k one time bill was like i was so fried i think and bill was like we're gonna write one where you're barely in it um so you can just might be the one and then clearly uh i think it may have been because he was kind of like we're gonna give you some days off just to like catch up on rest well you're not in the episode at all i'm not i'm in the fucking water tank about to die yeah it's interesting you know it would have been it would have been a very cool show to watch also if neil was the voiceover the theme of the show is feeling like you're not you know uh necessary in yeah or making any difference or making any difference in the world. Right. And the janitor, when you think about it,

the janitor on Scrubs, it's a heightened character because I can't sit here and say, I know that many janitors when I go to work or when I was going to school or anything. So it's like, you know, this character that we're following, even as the ensemble is, it's kind of heightened because we never really get to know this character in

real life. You know what I mean? Well, and also he's a, he's a liar. He's a pathological liar. Well, we learned that we learned that.

Well, we know that through five seasons, but in this episode when you're finally in his head, he just talks about how much he loves lying. Loves to lie, yeah. How much he loves to lie. He just can't tell the truth. Right.

Which really sets up the fact that so much of the shit he says isn't true. But then sometimes we see it. Like we see his squirrel army. Like we see the fact that he makes, that he turned all his tools into eating things, like the drill fork. And we also find out that he really does want to make a difference at the place he works. You know what I mean? Yes. And in his mind, even just holding the dude's legs down that was so big

for him that was he had to tell everybody oh god neil crushed this episode but yeah we should of course mention the obvious that neil flynn is just so funny and he should have his own show i mean i know even in the middle he was you know supporting or i guess i i don't i guess he was a lead. I don't know. But I think someone needs to build. I think Neil is developing a show for himself to be the lead. But he should be the lead of the show. But he should be the lead of the show. He's so entertaining. Yeah, he's really good, man.

And he's got great comedic timing. Well, no one has better timing and no one has better improv skills. And he also brings the drama at the end of this. I got goosebumps at the last beat that we'll get to. Yeah, well, and that's another thing I was going to say, because this whole episode, it doesn't necessarily, you don't see that, I didn't see that one coming. I didn't see that emotion at the end coming.

Because you never get emotion from him, really. It's just, it's only a smidgen of a second in the whole show. If you were to look at the whole show, it literally is a fraction of what the show is. But at the end, you're still like, you get choked up. Well, you know what's so heartbreaking? Yeah, you know what's so heartbreaking? And we'll just talk about it now, even though it's the end, is that he doesn't even hear the thank you. No.

talk about it now even though it's the end is that he doesn't even hear the thank you no that's what gave me goosebumps all over my body is that he still he still ends the episode in the day not feeling appreciated at all when when all the guy wanted to say the second his computer was up was thank you yeah it's so moving huh yeah so the gentleman that has locked-in syndrome which um there's an amazing movie by the way about this what is joelle what was that movie where the locked-in syndrome is your brain is fully fine but you can't move at all and people can move um a cursor some people can move a cursor with their eyes so he's able to move the cursor with his eye movement, it tracks his eye movement, and so he can type out or click on words and the computer will speak for him.

Wow. There's an incredible movie made by Julian Schnabel. But what if you can't spell? If you can't spell, I bet they would have just like pages of most common words. Sorry, The Diving Bell and just like pages of most common words. Sorry, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an amazing film. I highly recommend you all. And I believe

it's a true story. Joelle, will you double check that? Yeah, based off the 1997 memoir of Jean-Dominique Baudi. Do you know this story at all, Donald? I don't. All right, just a short version. The man has a true story, locked-in syndrome. And this was before a fancy computer eye-tracking technology.

And the only thing he could do was blink one eye. And he would have an aide hold up letters and wait for him to blink. So she would be like, A, B, C. He'd blink. Okay, it's the letter C. And he learned to communicate that way. His brain was fully 100%, but he couldn't- Why not teach him Morse?

I think that they learned shorthand to do it. I don't know. Watch the movie. It's incredible. Julian Schnabel made it. But he eventually wrote a book like that. Wow. He blinked out a book.

That's his story. Amazing. Bestseller, obviously. I mean, the movie is amazing. If you're listening to this, watch The Diving Bell and the Butterflies. Oh, my God. He died 10 days after the book's publication. Wow.

Wow. What a story. But what's incredible is what's so scary is that people don't know people assume he's brain dead right he can't move he can't move he can't communicate he can't say no please no no no does he do you feel pain i i don't remember the specifics but he's 100 your brain his brain is 100 they call it locked in syndrome because your brain is his brain was 100 he just couldn't communicate at all that's then you feel then you definitely feel pain if that's the case i i don't remember i don't remember and i'm sure all cases are different i don't remember

in his particular case if he felt pain that would be the worst to be yeah it's a nightmare it's a nightmare but that's what's so cool about the story is that they finally figured out a nurse i believe was like all he could do is blink and they like figured out so this gentleman in the in in our story um it's it's it's you know it's it's a more current day it's the 2000s and he can move a cursor around by it tracking his eyes um the janitor has the voiceover and he calls you black kojak and scary nurse wife yes and he realizes that he can get past anyone with kindness so or compliments right right no with kindness compliments yeah so he says something nice about uh carla and then he moves on to Kelso. And he's almost free from having to explain where he was because he wasn't at work because he has placed you in the water tower.

He's placed JD in the water tower. And he's almost free. And Turk asked, hey, where's JD? And he goes, I don't know. What does he say? I don't know. I think he went. I don't And he goes, I don't know. What does he say? I don't know. I think he went... I don't remember. Oh, you don't remember.

But you do the Carlton dance. Yes. Now, I've never seen you do the Carlton, or, you know, I know Alfonso Rivera is credited for making this dance very famous, but wasn't it the dance that Courtney Cox did in the Bruce Springsteen video

when she's pulled up on stage? It's what Molly Ringwald did in. Oh, in 16 Candles. And the Breakfast Club. It's just kind of. Sorry, that's what I meant. Breakfast Club, yeah. It's what all white people did.

Oh, it's the white people dance. Yes. Eddie Murphy makes it famous. Joel, you're cracking up. Eddie Murphy makes it famous in. I think, doesn't he make it famous and i think doesn't he make it famous in raw doesn't he make it famous in raw with the white man red or the purple suit i think that's the purple raw is purple so that's so that's delirious red delirious is red but the

white man's overbite and he does he even does he's like y'all got this dance he even does the shit he even does the shit all right well alfonso made it famous but uh but i remember courtney cox doing it and that bruce springsteen early early one of the first music videos was bruce springsteen it wasn't even a video it was just a concert video where he pulls courtney cox not yet famous Courtney Cox up on stage. Yeah. All right, Beard Fassé is definitely the pharmacist. It's taken five seasons for me to prove it. At 5.02, if you're following this investigation along with me,

at five minutes and two seconds in, Beard Fassé is standing inside the pharmacist's window and working. He's the pharmacist. Okay. Or he could just be checking to see. No. Because other times, we've researched this. He's been back there before.

No, but he's just so- He's been in that room before. But bro, he's mingling back there. This time, he's at the desk. He's the pharmacist. He's mingling back there. This time he's at the desk. He's the pharmacist.

He's obviously not a very good pharmacist because he's always wandering around the fucking hospital. He's sometimes in the ICU, dude. What the fuck is the pharmacist doing? I know. I mean, I guess to, I guess. I don't know. We need a doctor to answer. Why would the pharmacist be wandering all over the hospital? The point is, there's no.

We're going to have the pharmacist come talk to you for a second. Like, it doesn't sound right, does it? And also, like, why are none of the prescriptions being filled? Because the pharmacist is wandering around the fucking hospital. Like, dude, get in your fucking booth and fill these prescriptions. Isn't the pharmacist like such a – the pharmacist is something that needs to be disrupted. It's never a good experience.

Do you find that? Have you ever had an easy – nothing was wrong, everything was quick and easy at the pharmacy? No, I just hate when it's judgmental. When like you... They're like, you don't need these pills. You look girthy. When they're handing you the pills

and they're like, when they're handing you the pills and they've got that face like... That's when it's like, fuck you, dude. What pills are you getting where you're getting judgment? Don't worry about what I'm being told. No, I'm just saying, no, there's all these things that are disrupting everything.

Like on my street in New York, in my whole area, there's several different companies that are doing this with the dentist. Because who likes going to the dentist? It's like the worst experience that we all know. It's just like weird. They're like, now they're making them like almost like a retail storefront that looks beautiful and like a new take on the dentist. And, you know, you can make an appointment with the app. And I'm involved in this new company called Modern Animal that's doing that with the vet.

They're saying like, okay, the vet is just always a hassle. It's like you can never get in. It smells. It's like old school building. This is like, again, the vet is just always a hassle. It's like you can never get in. It smells. It's like old school building. This is like, again, retail storefront. You're a member of the club. You can make an appointment on your app. Anyway, my point is someone should do that for the pharmacy

because I just think, I don't know, every time I go to the pharmacy to get something, it's always, they're like, what? They can't find it. And like, did your doctor call it in? Yeah, he called it in. Valtrex for Faison. Valtrex for Faison.

That would be the worst day of my life. That would be the worst pharmacist ever. I would be like, what are you doing? Mr. Faison, paging Mr. Faison, your Valtrex is ready at the pharmacy counter. It's not my Valtrex. I swear that's the wrong Faison. You must have the wrong Faison.

There's another Faison here. No, the African American Faison. Wow. They get specific. Because you're not coming because you're hiding out in the magazine aisle. And she's like, oh, let me get more clear. The African-American bearded Faison. Black guy from Scrubs Faison.

Yeah, then five minutes later, she's like, black guy from Scrubs, your Valtrex is ready. Oh, no. And did you want the 80 milligram Viagra? Because we only have 60. Please come to the desk. Would you claim the Viagra, though? Well, the Viagra, yes. It's mine.

I think I'll leave that there. What about the janitor riding a vacuum, flying vacuum? That looked good. So we learn at the Viagra, the janitor has several inventions in his mind. There's the straw. That's the pen. Straw pen. Straw pen.

And also, there's the, if something were to spill on, let's say, the third floor of the hospital, and he was on the first floor. Yeah, you need to get there quickly. He has a vacuum cleaner slash hovercraft. Hovercraft. It's called the hover hoover. Right. Yeah. The hover hoover.

And then- But don't you think for Scrubs Visual Effects, which I always think are cringe, that looked pretty good. It did look good. I was waiting for him to fly in. He's like, open the window. That would have been cool if he flew in. Yeah.

I was like, I wonder how they did that. We didn't have that kind of budget. It looked good, though. How about date night with Mr. Roberts? So Laverne likes to prime the pump by watching the young men sweat on the basketball court. Yes. She likes to get all worked up. And before we get to the basketball game, not only does she like to get worked up, they role play.

In actual environments like she waits at the bus stop like she's gonna go to the bus stop and pretend to be a working girl uh yeah a lady of the night yeah so gosh that could go wrong i was i was waiting for the punch line like they got arrested and needed to get bailed out because – Isn't it funny on the live show when Aloma revealed she only read her scenes? And so when we were talking about – because I don't think Laverne's above-ground pool party – She has no idea what the show Scrubs is about. No, I don't even know if Paloma's ever seen the show. Because when we asked her about the Above Ground Pool Party,

I guess it was never discussed with her character. So she's like, what are you talking about? She has no fucking idea. She has no idea. She has no idea what the show Scrubs is about. What do you think the odds are that, other than the pilot maybe, Aloma watched a single episode? Okay, so this is going to come on before the live show.

Well, this is episode 19. And so the very next episode, listeners who didn't watch the live show here, is the live show. Oh, well, you're going to hear the audio from the live show next, listeners. is the live show. Oh, well, you're going to watch. You're going to hear the audio from the live show next, listeners. And you'll hear that Aloma

doesn't have any idea about the above ground pool party because she reveals that she only read her scenes in the script. She was so sassy, huh? Yeah, she was great. She was as sassy as her character. Yeah, she was great.

She was one. It was just one. You know, I really, it would be nice to do, and I'm not going to say this is going to happen or anything, She was as sassy as her character. Yeah, she was great. She was one. It was just one. You know, I really, it would be nice to do, and I'm not going to say this is going to happen or anything, but it would be nice in some way or another to do another reincarnation of this show. Even if it's animated, I really feel like animated is a great way to, you know, animated is a great way to, you know, because it feels like season five feels like the Simpsons and or family guy and or Futurama. And you know what I mean? It's just like,

it's so out there and these characters could get away with so much. Okay. We're gonna take a break and we'll be right back. Don't go. Wait, where are you going? We'll be right back.

It's special i was thinking we should do an episode with um just uh the ladies that is to say krista judy sarah maybe a holiday themed episode i love maybe i don't know about a

live show i just mean like a like a episode oh hell yeah i'm also about that life okay um now has yanni tour been said before because the janitor introduces himself as dr yanni tour but i don't know if it's the first time we're hearing that i i think it's the second but i could be wrong i laughed out loud when he's holding down the legs and he says this is easy just like drowning someone yes yes yesing someone. Yes. Yes. Yes. And then what about when he goes, I didn't see the demon leave the body? Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Sends the janitor, because Carla says great work, janitor. Sends him on a freaking crusade through the hospital to tell everyone how useful he was. Yes, he held the legs down. At his moment, the moment they needed him. People who have no idea who he is. People who have no idea who he is. And then our friend Katya, who is Judy's stand-in, who we've discussed before, has a line when she says something about, oh, he won't stop talking about his bragging.

And then the guy who's – is he the dermatologist, that guy? No, that wasn't the dermatologist. That's just some random – No, no, no, no. I think it's the guy who plays the dermatologist. If it was, that's a great callback. Joelle will find it out but but anyway call back because he was called the most useless person in the hospital oh that's interesting that's a deep cut oh but anyway he says imagine how it feels coming here and knowing you don't make a difference and the janitor overhears that and um go to break. That's our commercial break. But then we come back and he's like, I know.

I know they don't think that way about me. Of course, I'm important. Of course. Well, he sees an opportunity because he at least finds something he can do, which is keep the man with locked in syndrome company because the guy can't communicate because his computer is broken. He tries to fix his computer and really fucks it up and avoids the warranty. Avoids the warranty and everything, yeah. Yeah.

And he introduces drill fork. You can drill and fork, but mostly fork. Okay, can we talk about this basketball game and why it's bullshit? Yes, let's talk about the bullshit basketball game. Okay, so Lonnie could play basketball for any fucking school. game and why it's bullshit? Yes, let's talk about the bullshit basketball game. Okay, so Lonnie could play basketball for

any fucking school. It is well known that Turk is a very good athlete. Yes, why in this episode were you and Todd such bad basketball players? I have no idea. And the way we would beat Lonnie and Dr.

Cox is whoever Cox is guarding, you just play through that person and you just, that's how you beat him. And so it was bullshit. You know what I mean? Now I have a question. Did you, it feels like you were triggered a bit.

Did you not like even your character being beaten at basketball? No, that's bullshit. Not by Lonnie. I don't give a fuck, dude. I played with Mike Holbrook before. Oh.

I played with Tim and Mike. I played with all these cats. Well, I mean, not enough to fucking dunk on me. He ain't dunking on me. Ever. First of all. Not even in his heyday. I could dunk in my heyday.

Not even in his heyday can Mike Holbrook. I don't think Mike Holbrook's. Mike Holbrook's a very good... He's a very good basketball player. Him and his brother are. Don't get twisted. They're all playing that Bill Lawrence game, and I don't care what you say. If anybody has ever played in that game, they know it's not

only a tough game to play in, but it's a very, very rough, rough game to play in, so you can't be no sucker. Okay, so they're good. Joelle is saying that Robert Beckwith is the actor's name, and he played Dr. Johnson here and in My Brother's Keeper. See if you can assess

if he's the dermatologist. I think he is. I don't think he is. The dermatologist has been in more than two episodes. I want to bet you. The dermatologist has been in more than two episodes. I'm going to bet you a rolled jazz cabbage cigarette. I got some pretty strong shit.

You sure you want to do that? Yes, I'm going to bet you one. Marky Post, who just passed away, sadly. But she is back to play Sarah's very inappropriate mother and is very funny. Very funny. She gives Keith a kiss. Sarah is very inappropriate mother and is very funny. She gives Keith a kiss.

She said she had a C-section, so she's all good down there. Yeah, she said that all her kids have been C-sections, so everything has remained the same down there. Yeah. Do you think there's women that do that on purpose? If that's the reason, God reason god yes there absolutely are women if that's the reason thank you well are you allowed to to are you allowed to request a c-section yes you want to keep your especially wealthy women will schedule their hold on so that because they want to keep their work schedule because they to keep... I just want to be clear.

For both reasons. For both reasons. So that a male can enjoy it. No, so that there's not any change in their vulva. That's the reason... Hold on. That's the reason why the character, Elliot's mom, says it too. Right.

Listen, I've done it so that when we do it, you feel it. It's going to be so fucking good for you. That's what she's saying. Yeah, right. Joelle's saying that a lot of women do this for that reason. Is that what you're saying? I'm not saying a lot of women do it for that reason.

But there are certainly there are women who, A, do schedule C-sections without necessarily needing one. And B, some do it because they want their vagina to stay tight you know that's what they're about uh scheduling purposes wait first of all i didn't know you were allowed to schedule a c-section but donald look in the chat what joelle just wrote okay so i owe you a rolls jazzarette. Do you want it tonight? Yeah, I want you to bring it over yourself and try it with me. No, I can't. We can't do that. COVID, man. We just got in town.

Oh, alright. I've been tested, actually. I'm going to the Emmys. I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to the Emmys. Oh my god. Are you nominated? I am. There are several of us. I'm just kidding. So, Marky Post, Are you nominated? I am. Oh, my God. There are several of us. I'm just kidding. All right.

So Marky Post, very funny. Oh, my God. Amazing. By the way, no insult to Key and Peele, but you did this joke first. This is the hilarious Key and Peele joke. Key and Peele, bye. I told y'all. What's up, dog?

I told y'all. That was hilarious. That guy sold the shit out of that joke, the old white man. What's up, dog? Yeah. But what we're talking about, if you're lost, is there's an amazing Key and Peele sketch where- Obama.

Jordan Peele is playing Obama and how he greets white people differently than black people. And it is so funny. You can YouTube it, I'm sure. But it's basically this joke that that old white man is walking down talking to the white people one way and then he sees donald and he's like what's up dog all right i'm gonna say this and i can say it because shea serrano said it go ahead turk and carla the cutest couple in TV history, period.

I don't give a fuck what anybody says, man. You can say whatever you want to say, but the two of them are so cute together. Especially when, you know, she's comforting him because he feels, you know, that, you know, maybe Dr. Cox was, you know was in some ways right. And she's like, hell no, he's wrong. And he's like, I just want to be able to do things when we're married. And she's like, of course we're going to do things when we're married. We'll still be able to go out and we're going to go and go to movies and eat dinner. He's like, really?

And she's like, no. We're going to have kids. Don't be stupid. She's like, but don't worry about it, man. It'll be great because we'll still be able to have lots of sex. And he's like, really? She's like, no. Get out of here. Donald, it's your life.

Dude, I wish Casey was here right now because the theme song would be playing. Right. I even asked her, I was like, do you want to come on and talk about this today? And she was like, no, don't. We don't have to talk about it. But it's real talk, man. It's like I was saying in the beginning. Every parent listening can relate.

It's like I said in the beginning. As you get older, like I still would love quantity. Quantity is a lot of fun to me when it comes to sex with my wife but quality you can't beat that with a baseball bat and that's what those two you know what I mean and that's what those two have man they have freaking something really special and when they have these moments like this and the scrubs shows it feels so good and yeah well it's a testament to you and Judy. I mean, I got to say, your chemistry all these years was so strong.

And, you know, if you're not in the business, you might think you can fake that. But you can't really fake that. Obviously, two actors can pretend they like each other. But there's something about when chemistry happens like it does like it did between donald and judy that it really it resonates people feel it and i i think judy has this going for her as well i think all of us do and i think maybe it's because we're character actors on this show but we're very lucky uh because when we work with other people we can find a way to have that chemistry and that's i think that's what makes really good character actors you know what i mean like a character

actor is somebody who can come into a scene and do a scene with someone and the chemistry is uh is good and it works that you believe the relationship in my opinion i think that's a that's what you know is you know strong something for a character i think all of us on the show scrubs have this ability to uh to form a chemistry with whoever we're working with well no but i disagree with you that that in case, of course, that's what happened, and that's one of the reasons it went nine years, the chemistry between all of us. But that doesn't always work for all of us in our other endeavors.

You sometimes have to pretend that you really like someone or pretend that you don't want to. But that doesn't mean you don't have chemistry. For me, I equate chemistry with like i feel so comfortable with this person um and i i can totally be free to perform and not be in my head and not think oh this person's a jerk um that's what i that's what i equated to is like i i i like them and i love what they're doing and they respect me and they like what I'm doing. And we just we click, you know, it's a relationship, obviously.

But then there's the flip side of it. And there are directors who like it where the set is kind of chaotic and people are at odds and ends with each other. Right. You hate it. But sometimes that makes for great chemistry. I once was in doing a play with someone who was so impossible and uh and he said i i like tension in the rehearsal room he said oh he said it was good for he thought it was good for the play and i just remember thinking like i hate tension i I want to create a safe space. On my sets, when I'm the boss, I create a place like we had on Scrubs where there's no wrong answer and be free. And this is a kind environment for you to be creative.

I don't want anyone feeling on edge and uncomfortable. That's not my style. So we learned that Carla, you know, Elliot finally has the epiphany she needed to have. and uncomfortable. That's not my style. I heard that. So we learned that Carla, you know, Elliot finally has the epiphany she needed to have, that Carla was the one who helped her become the great doctor that she is, and Carla was the one who saved her ass a hundred times.

Well, we should go back and explain Elliot's storyline in this whole episode is that you know she feels she needs to be a little bit tougher on her interns because she gets chewed out in the beginning by kelso if i'm correct yeah and saying that your interns mess ups are your responsibility so she wants her interns to be the best that they can be so that she she doesn't have to. Feel the brunt on her end. Yes and one of her interns. Because she puts a smiley face. After one of the dosages.

It causes the seizure. That the janitor helps with. And he believes is an exorcism. I don't know. That's my favorite line of the episode I didn't see What is it? I didn't see the demon come out

Yeah, I didn't see the demon leave the body That's the funniest line of the episode And as I said in the end, you know Well, I laughed Well, I laughed at all So this is easy Like, it's a lot like drowning someone made me laugh too yeah yeah well this is one i'm right after the other yeah um and then

it's very moving as we said earlier in the end when uh when cox you know is all proud of himself because he's the top dog top alpha doctor in the hospital. And he opens the computer and, and the man's able to communicate the word thank you. And Cox is like, oh, you're welcome. And he says, no, I meant, I didn't mean you. I meant him. And I thought it was such a great choice of Bill's and, and or John Inwood, our cinematographer who shot this. Although I don't think it would have been left to the director.

I'm sure this is a Bill decision that the janitor never hears it, which I just thought was such a moving choice. Yeah, but he still made a difference. And he knows he does. I know, but he doesn't. And he knows he did, too. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. Well, in a lot of ways, he knows he does.

To me, what was moving about it is he never heard it.

doctors real friends all right now does anyone listen to your podcast uh we are actually in a lot more countries than you would have expected yes we have tens of listeners zach we are very proud of our tight knit but i'm seriously do you how many listeners do you think listen to your rewatch podcast of the podcast of the rewatch it's officially called the fact that you watch podcast oh you kind of stole our idea because we were running out of ideas what to do next and we like why don't we why don't we re-listen to the podcast so i am i'm gonna throw this out here zach our first episode was published fe published February 3rd of this year. Oh, and you have 18 plays.

Yeah, we have 18 plays of the pilot. Yeah, so. Well, we should give you a plug. What's it called? Our show is called The Rewatch Podcast, Rewatch Podcast. And you can find us on Twitter at RPRPOfficial.

Okay, so there you go. I think where Joel really started to see us because we started live tweeting your live shows. And the first one, the first one was a lot more low key, but we really laid into it on the second one. We got a lot more engagement. Even Krista Miller retweeted.

Now, are you guys hard on us? What did you say about us? Are you guys hard on us? Or is there criticism because Donald and I don't handle criticismweeted. Now, are you guys hard on us? What did you say about us? Are you guys hard on us? Is there criticism? Because Donald and I don't handle criticism very well. Oh, no, we love you guys. No, I can tell if you would do a rewatch of a podcast.

You're probably fans. But are you guys like, is there critiques? Are you like, gosh, they really barely talked about scrubs this episode. We have, you know. We have some segments. We have the Donald Faison you know what I mean counter. We actually invited a guest who was on your podcast

to come on our podcast and talk about her time on your podcast. Did she come on? She did. It was a great episode. Why isn't anybody listening to this podcast? Y'all need to get on board. Dang it.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Wu-Tang forever. Wu-Tang forever. Wu-Tang forever. Zach, I love you. Now listen, guys, I'm a little worried

that you're going to have some of our guests on again before we have a chance to have them on. Yeah, you can't bring back that sex couple. You can't bring back the sex couple before we have the sex couple. Stay away from that sex couple, that cuckold couple. They're ours. All right. You can keep them. But if this was going to continue where we weren't getting onto Fake Doctors, Real Friends,

we were going to try everything in our power to try and get ryan reynolds on before you oh my god we also we also considered we also considered so there's a there's like a scrubs like discord and a reddit we considered going on to the reddit and being like is anyone's legal given christian name ryan reynolds just so we can say hey Joelle we got Ryan Reynolds on our podcast Joelle I can't believe you took so long to let these gentlemen come on the show

they've dedicated their lives to coming on the show I like the build up there's a lot of build up this might be my new favorite podcast and I don't listen to podcasts but this must be my new favorite I don't think Donald's ever listened to another podcast besides this one. Have you done? This might be my new favorite podcast.

I mean, well, I was going to say, well, do you, do you want to tell them the star Wars thing we did? Oh, wait,

hold up. You did a star Wars podcast on our rewatch. So we made a, again, in our quest to get Jo Joel to notice us on Twitter, we made a custom video on Twitter of it's the Star Wars opening, but the crawl is just like, it's like episode seven, Joel, can we be guests on Fake Doctors?

And then it's a whole buildup about two Scrubs fans, Derek and Will, trying to beat the existential threat of a pandemic. Joel, speaking of Star Wars, what's going on? Joel, where's your camera, by the way? What's going on? When is our Star Wars podcast coming out? Joel, why are you not showing your face to these men? Are you ashamed because you made them?

No, not at all. My internet was a little unstable, and I just want to make sure everything keeps going. So I'm running off the camera. I know, but these men might want to see your face since you really made them struggle. If we lose the Zoom, it's not my fault. There she is, the woman who tortured you guys. Hi, guys. How are you?

When is our Star Wars podcast coming out? Yeah, what's happening? You guys will be taking a break. And then my hope is that you will have time now that, you know, Zach will be off doing his thing. You and I can do our thing. Oh, very nice. So that's the hope. So will be off doing his thing. You and I can do our thing. Oh, very nice. So that's the hope. So you have to let me know.

Let me explain to the audience who might be confused. I'm going to do the soundtrack. I don't want you to. Okay, Joelle and Donald are going to do a new podcast called The Black Side. And it's all things Star Wars from the perspective of two African-American people who are obsessed with Star Wars. Is that correct, Joelle? Is that the pitch?

That's 100% correct. Okay, can you stop that fucking song now? You just think of that in your sleep, don't you? You just sit there like It's a great song Alright We are Oh, these guys are young

Oh, shit What? They're young because he went Oh, I didn't do that It sounded like you did that I was doing the original with you Oh, my God Oh, I didn't do that. It sounded like you did that. I was doing the original with you. Oh, my God. Oh, shit.

All right, so I take it that you guys are both mega Star Wars fans as well. I have been described as a colossal nerd, so yes, I am a Star Wars fan. Okay, so I take it you'll be tuning in to the black side when it becomes available. Oh, 100%, yes. I have a question, and what was your favorite episode there, Young Will? Episode of the podcast or episode of

Star Wars? We're singing back to Star Wars. He's only interested in Star Wars. I don't give a shit about your favorite episode of the podcast. Fuck that shit. I want to know about your favorite episode of Star Wars. Oh, Empire Hands Down. Empire Hands Down. Really? And you're a young man too.

How old are you, can I ask? I'm 33. 33 in Empire Hands Down. Joelle, what's your favorite episode of Star Wars? Canonical episodes 1 through 9. It's definitely Empire. Followed closely by episode 7.

I'm sorry 8 I was about to say Force Awakens TLJ Last Jedi 8 do you want to know mine nobody gives a fuck what you think I don't like that the podcast isn't called

The Zach Side Zach I love you Zach I love you See you don't even need The soundboard anymore Yeah you know It's better It's better if I just do it live

Live Everybody knows exactly What you're doing now You've used it so much dude I know You've used it so much And by the way I still haven't fucking

Labeled the thing And I have to guess Every time anyway So this way This. I know. You used it so much. And by the way, I still haven't fucking labeled the thing, and I have to guess every time anyway. So this way I know I'm always going to get what I want. That's not something you mentioned. It's like jazz with a soundboard. That's what makes it great. I know.

It's like I'm scatting. Why is nobody listening to your podcast, guys? Come on. All right. So you guys only had 18 listens on your pilot. I don't think that's very good. We need to get those numbers up. No, it's not. Well, originally, Zach, so we found your –

we've always been fans of Scrubs, and it was right during the lockdowns that your guys' episode came out. And Derek and I were just talking back and forth about how, for a while, it was one of the best things about life during pandemic. It was like, hey, every week we got this podcast, and we can watch Scrubs, and we can do this. So then that just morphed into, we're talking about the fake actors anyway. Let's just record it, and we can start doing this to get Joel's attention. You should go about the pocket. We're talking about the fake anchors anyway. Like let's just record it. And we can like, we could start doing this to get Joel's attention. You should go into the face.

I don't look at it. Cause I, again, I don't want to read anyone saying that we suck, but I know that there's a Facebook group that discusses the podcast. What platform are you on? What platform? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So we're on anchor. Are you guys on iHeart2? Maybe one day. You may need a few more than 18 listens, I think. Yeah, a couple more. You guys should at least rally your parents.

They don't have to listen. Just hit play on their phones. Yeah, I know, right? So we're just on Anchor right now. Because the other thing was we didn't want you guys to think that we were starting our own podcast as a a way to to you know like to to build a podcast this is all just a labor of love for us so we we just had it on anchor and we would only seed it out like we would tweet every episode and tag you guys in it and then email joelle and be like joelle we made another episode and we're not really on twitter we're barely we gave up twitter

for sanity's sake but um but joelle you should be retweeting it because Joel's missed Twitter. She's retweeted a few of us. So how long do you talk about the podcast episode in your podcast episode? I mean, we typically run to anywhere between like 45 minutes to an hour after we cut it up and everything. after we like cut it up and everything. But yeah, I mean, we, I think the episode that we had done with Brittany went a little bit longer and that ended up becoming its own episode

apart from the actual, you know. Recap episode? Yeah, recap episode that we were doing. I'm worried that they're going to beat us to the cuckold couple. Can you book them? Yeah, make sure, please. Joelle, please book them.

We're going to hear this and be like, we need to choose which one we're going to do. Yes, do you want, well, guys, with all due respect, they're not going to go with the 18 listeners. They want to hear, they want their story heard. I have a feeling, I have a feeling after this episode that we put up today, your numbers are going to grow. Yeah, your numbers are going to grow a lot. I'm going to just say this right now. You guys seem like very funny.

Yes, you seem funny. What do you guys do for a living? You guys seem like a brown. I don't want to just assume, but Derek, you seem like you're a brown man. I am. Will, you seem like you are a brown man. I am. Will, you seem like you are a white man, so you have the whole

chocolate and vanilla guy love thing going. There's chocolate bear and vanilla bear. A, where do you live? I'm outside of Philly. I'm in Queens, New York. Oh, shit. And you got the tri-state

area thing going. Okay. And then what do you guys do? But really, that's Connecticut, Jersey, and New York. But hey, you got it. You know, hey, partner. Amtrak still goes right there. What do you guys do for jobs?

So I work in pharma and will. I work in advertising. I do analytics. Okay. Are you a sales rep for Big Pharma, Derek? No, no. So I'm a program manager. Okay.

Well, we won't hold it against you. All right. Do you guys have a question? That's why you're here. You worked very hard to get on the show. Yeah, yeah. So Scrubs was originally on around a time where there were a lot of other amazing shows that were on. Was there ever any opportunity for like a crossover episode? And if not, was there any

particular show that you would have wanted to have done a crossover with? Well, just the Arrested thing, you know, we did. I think we told that story that, you know, we were on opposite networks and Jason and I were friendly and we got them to allow us to do that. That was kind of the closest that I think it ever got. You know, back in the old days, they would like literally the characters would go on other shows. I mean, usually they were like, you know, the same producer like Gary Marshall, you know, that kind of thing. Oh, no. Well, when we did Clueless, when I was doing Clueless television show television show back in the day, and we were on the same network as Moesha.

Yes. Oh, really? And they had a crossover episode where we had Nisi on the episode. We had Lamont Bentley, God rest his soul. He was on the episode. And if I'm correct, it was Char Jackson, Lamont Bentley, and then Gab Union, who was not on either. My wife. She was in the episode as well.

But that had nothing to do with, like, one was a Paramount movie. It was really odd, but, you know, it worked. It was really odd, but, you know, it worked. Do you remember when on Scooby-Doo they would have, like, was it the Harlem Globetrotters? The Harlem Globetrotters. Yo, dude, Urkel was just on the most recent version of. Really?

Yeah, dude. Yeah. Scooby-Doo was my jam. That was my favorite kid show. Really? My favorite kids animated. I think Scooby-Doo was probably, like, my favorite kids show. Really? My favorite kids animated. I think Scooby-Doo is probably like my favorite kids animated show. Yeah.

At the age I was right for it. Yeah. Scooby-Doo is a classic. It really is. You got to show your kids or show your daughter. She'll probably be into it, Donald. Show her like the version we watched. No, no.

They watched Scooby-Doo. They know exactly what Scooby-Doo is. No, but not the new shit. I'm sure there's a new version. No, they've watched old school Scooby-Doo. Okay. They know exactly what Scooby-Doo is. No, but not the new shit. I'm sure there's a new version. No, they've watched old school Scooby-Doo also. They know exactly what Scooby-Doo is. And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those damn kids. Those damn kids. But that's in every that's in even, in every

in every, is it incarnation? Am I saying it right? Yes. In every incarnation of Scooby-Doo, they always do that line. So you never have to worry about that. Alright, good. They gotta keep something. But I'm not gonna watch the movies. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.

That's where The Bright Side comes in. A new daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that's bringing you a daily dose of joy. I'm Danielle Robay. And I'm Simone Boyce. Listen, both Danielle and I are reporters. We've covered the news and we know the world can

Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows. All right. What's your next question, guys? Our next question, it actually has to do a little bit with something that we've talked about on our podcast, which is from. So we've talked about in about how Bill Lawrence created all of these shows, you know, Spin City, Ted Lasso, Cougar Town, Scrubs. We believe, we have a theory that this is all within a shared universe and that there are variants of characters. We've already proven this in Cougar Town, that there's a variant of Zack that's a pizza delivery man. Well, I think in Cougar Town, Ted plays Ted, right?

Oh, yeah. Ted plays Ted. That's the link. That's the link that starts this so what we're wondering is if this is all Bill Lawrence's universe who has created it is he a benevolent god? is he the watcher? is he the watcher?

is he he who remains of the Bill Lawrence universe? I don't think he minds there being variants. I think, if anything, Bill would enjoy there being variants. I don't understand these sci-fi nerd terms you're using. Can you translate to people that don't play D&D? So essentially, Bill has shown up in Scrubs twice, and Ted has shown up in Cougar Town as Ted.

So Bill clearly exists in different versions within this universe that he's created. So how does Bill link all of this together? How do we think this is all combined? In this world you're saying that

Lasso is existing in the same universe as Cougar Town and Scrubs. We'd like to think so. Maybe Turk shows up. You see that there was a thing I retweeted a while ago, because I do occasionally lurk on there, and there was someone who had done a match for each character of Lasso to Scrubs.

Did you see that? Yeah, yeah. That was awesome. I thought that was clever. We think it's entirely possible that there could be a flashback in Ted Lasso season two or three where Roy Kent is like, I went to this American surgeon when I hurt my knee. And it cuts to Donald Faison as Chris Turk. How about this? Let's ask Bill Lawrence right now.

Okay. Are you going to give him the name that you coined? You guys can ask the question. Go ahead. All right, Bill, our friends here, Derek and Will, have a question for you. Go ahead, Derek and Will. Bill, we believe in what we have coined the Bill Lawrence Extended Cinematic Universe, or the BLECU, in which Bill controls all of one shared universe

between Scrubs, Spin City, Cougar Town, Dead Lasso, etc., do you confirm this theory right now on this podcast? Oh, the people want to know, Bill! The people want to know. You guys think you can just ask Bill? Like, whenever you have something you want to ask Bill, like I'm just here waiting to, look, I'll tell you this. Um, you can, because I've got nothing going on. And, um, please ask Bill more. The Bill Lawrence universe, um, not the one that's in my head, the TV show one. I feel like you left out Clone High because here's some trivia.

The janitor from Scrubs played the janitor in Clone High, and if you go back and see what his name was, his name was Glenn on the cartoon, and that's where we got his name in Scrubs. The confusing thing about the Scrubs universe, Cougar Town, Scrubs, Spin City, Clone High, hopefully Ted Lasso, is that I think Scrubs exists in some shows. So I think Sam Lloyd still played Ted Buckland

on Cougar Town but the Todd was the gardener but he still did the high fives and Zach was not Zach because in Cougar Town JD would never be a pizza delivery boy and Busy Phillips' character on Cougar Town had a Zach Braff app app

in which the app told you what appetizers to order. I do like to believe that there's some kind of system and I'm working on it now. And I think it probably revolves a little bit around hopefully seeing the Scrubs cast on Ted Lasso sometime. If I can make that happen, then it's the multiverse and it works.

Miss you guys. Talk soon. I think what would really help your case is if I were to have a role on Ted Lasso as a doctor. I would love a role. I'm not going to lie to you at all. Agreed. I'm not going to lie to you at all. Dude, I would love to be on Ted Lasso. I think they have a rule in their Bible, in their show Bible, that there's no Americans other than Beard and Jason. That's fine. I will fucking work on a British accent. Well, there's the variant of Dr. Chris Turk.

He's a British. That doesn't mean we can't get on the show, but someone could say, someone could reference a famous surgeon named Dr. Chris Turk. Yo, I had no idea that the owner of the team is the freaking nun from... Shame nun. The shame nun from freaking

Game of Thrones. You want to talk about a glow-up? By the way, not to humble brag, but I was drinking with Hannah last night. She has the body of Jessica Rabbit. Yes, she does. I saw her in person

and I was like, how? I didn't want to say it, but you did. I didn't want to say it. You did. Yes, she does. I said it to her face. I said, your body is insane. You're like Jessica Rabbit. You are so beautiful. And she's the sweetest person.

And you know that's really her voice, singing. Because she told me, I don't know if you saw on her Insta stories, she put her rehearsing the Christmas song. Because she had people being like, there's no way that's her. And she was like okay and so she put the rehearsal video on she has the most insane voice they said there's no way that's her that's the hate man the hate it's hard to believe someone's that beautiful is that talented at acting and and can also see like how again just how she incredible. And she's the most humble, sweet, loving person.

You love to hear it. I think she's going to win this weekend. I think, I think, I think. Keep them crossed. I have very high hopes for Ted Lasso this weekend. I'm not going to lie. By the time this airs, you guys, it'll have already

happened. This will be old news, but I have high hopes, and it'll have already happened. It'll be long, long, but it happens. This will be old news, but I have high hopes and it'll be interesting. We're banking episodes for those of you who don't know because I'm going

to direct a movie and I can't do a podcast while I'm directing a movie. So that's why we've gotten far ahead. But not only, we should say this also. Go ahead, Donald.

It's Donald, right? In the midst of doing, why is that funny why do you it's always funny it's always funny it's a classic it's a classic because you're my best friend and the joke is i've forgotten your name learn humor fuck tits sorry don't dwells covering his face with the fucking shit his leg you are a pimple on a piece of shit okay T ears finish your boring ass story

go ahead we're banking episodes and while we're doing it I'm also in the midst of creating a television show and so because of that uh we might come up short and so there might be a hiatus that happened but that's when i think y'all can do some of your black side you got real careful real quick careful. I couldn't remember the name. Oh.

Oh. I don't understand what you're implying. All right, Joel, if we come up short, because I'll be making the movie, why don't you guys use the slot with some black side? I was hoping that we could get maybe the rewatch of the rewatch. Well, I don't know. With all due respect to these gentlemen, I don't know. Will, are we just going to pretend to be

Zach and Donald for a couple episodes And rewatch and be like, yeah, I remember filming this scene That was on our list Of things to do for this podcast We were going to write a script about a fake Episode of Fake Doctors, Real Friends And just have actors read As if they were Zach and Donald talking about

Philadelphia and Queens, New York favorite segment. Go on, Donald. It's time for It's time to It's time to

fix your life! Go ahead, gentlemen. You have to have a shared fix your life. Yeah, we do. Will, take it away. Well, I'll start us off, guys. So we obviously started this podcast to be invited to come talk with you guys as guests on your podcast.

It worked. It worked. It must have been on your whiteboard. It must have been on your whiteboard. It must have been on your whiteboard. Thunders applause, Daniel. Thunders applause. Daniel, who's not here, adds thunders applause. So, admittedly, we're feeling today a bit like the

dog that caught the car. Okay. Derek, you want to take it? Yeah, so what our fix our life question for you is, where do we go from here? What should our new goal be? Just keep doing what you're doing.

Well, I think you guys are genuinely funny and charming, and you have great banter. I think you should keep going with your podcast. It doesn't need to be about our rewatch if that becomes, like, not boring or you're over it. Or no one's listening to it. More importantly, I don't know. Maybe they are, but maybe after this plug,

they will. But I definitely think, but I definitely think you guys have a great banter and you're funny and, and you should make, if it's not what you've been doing to get on the show, you should keep it going with something else that really interests you. And you love chatting about with your best friend. Right,

Donald? I agree a hundred percent. And you guys are in a different state. You know what I mean? It's a great way to keep in touch with each other. You have an appointment every week. I don't know how many times you do your podcast, but you have an appointment every week to talk to each other.

You know what I mean? We might as well stick it out, see what happens. Bring in some sidekicks like Daniel and Joelle. So we actually did have a guest. So we had our one guest who was on your podcast we had another guest come on who we found out mid-recording not only did not listen to the episode of fake doctors real friends but had never seen scrubs before oh my gosh and we were yeah it was it was pretty funny we were just like Why did you choose that guest? Because he's a very good friend of ours. Oh.

Let me ask you a question. You guys were starving for guests. Yeah, yeah. It'd be better to interview your cat. Now, listen. Why don't you guys – Why don't you guys – Let me ask you something, a serious question. Obviously, you love Scrubs and you're interested in Scrubs.

What's something that you both share a love for that you wouldn't mind chatting for hours on end you know once or twice a week about well i i think i think i know what the answer the question is gonna be it's probably gonna be just tv and or movies in general just film and cinema and yeah definitely um there there's a very big market for that. Exactly. A lot of people are looking to listen to stuff like that. No, you just find you got to build an audience. Listen.

Joelle, go ahead. Say it. Joelle, go ahead. We should be asking you. It seemed like you were about to say something. I'm sorry. No, I was not. She's watching Clone Wars in the back.

That is ridiculous. Oh, my God. That reaction was something bad happened on Clone Wars. Ezra just saved Lothal. Yeah. Ezra ridiculous. Oh my God. That reaction was something bad that happened on Clone Wars. Ezra just saved Lothal. Yeah. Ezra just saved Lothal. Sometimes Joelle reacts on the chat and it's not to what we're saying.

It's to fucking something that happened on Clone Wars in the background. That has literally never happened. She's watching Rebels. She's watching Rebels. By the way, she's watched Rebels.

She's watched Rebels. Ezra just saved Lothal. She's watched Rebels 900 times, but she still reacts surprised when Lothal gets saved. It's such a beautiful moment. Okay, we've gone through so much heartbreak to get here. Oh, my God.

All right, well, listen, guys. I think that it's really fun. I love doing this with these guys. And it's something, you know, Donald and I obviously have a shared humor of the surreal experience. That's a very unique experience to go back and watch something we did for 10 years that we barely remember. Um, and we laugh at it's our sense of humor. So I, if I were you, um, find something that you just love talking about and, and, and build an audience that way. Cause, cause when you really are passionate about something and you're lit up by it, it's contagious.

It's infectious. People love it. The people that share your love of whatever films or TV or video games or whatever you guys are reviewing or talking about, they'll be right there with you. It's just about building community. Now, if you're famous and you've been on a famous TV show, you can build a community a lot faster. It goes without saying. So you'll build your community perhaps a bit slower, but that doesn't mean that you won't build a community and have a lot of fun doing it. And that's my advice. Not only that, I think a lot of people tune into Fake Doctors, I hope, because they enjoy the camaraderie Zach and I have. You know what I mean? We are truly best friends.

camaraderie zach and i have you know what i mean we are truly best friends and so if that if you can have you know if you can have that shine through on your program i promise you it you know it it's infectious people do enjoy listening to uh two buddies shoot the shit and and kindness kindness is contagious they say and we try to promote kindness here. Even though he is a fucking shit pimple. Wow. So does that mean that my pimples, when you pop them, shit comes out? Or that I am said pimple? You are said pimple on a mound of shit. Oh, I see.

So if there's a mound of shit. And there is a pimple on it. It's like, you remember at the end of Weird Science, when they turned chat into a mound of shit and there is a pimple, it's like you remember at the end of Weird Science. When they turn Chet into a pile of shit. You're saying that I'm like a pimple on the Chet pile of shit. You're the pimple that pops that. You remember when it spews out? He's like, oh, God.

After he eats the fly. Yeah. Is that what Chet has turned into a pile of shit or is it just a monster blob? I think he turned into a pile of shit. Do you guys have an opinion on what Chet has turned into, a pile of shit? Or is it just a monster blob? I think he turned into a pile of shit at the end. Do you guys have an opinion on what Chet has turned into at the end of Weird Science? I think it's a pile of shit. I'm pretty sure it's a pile of shit. Oh, okay.

What a masterpiece. When he freaking eats that fly, that shit makes me laugh so hard. Oh, God. All right, guys, you've been great guests. And we hope that your show becomes so big That we have to create a rewatch podcast To get on your show So we were actually going to invite you
