This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people, like jazz bassist Christian McBride.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a form to it. You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes. So it's kind of like giving someone a topic and say, okay, talk about this. Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:04:55 In the language, in the universal language. Everything else was covered in Ewokese, but not Celebrate the Life. In the universal language, Celebrate the Life as celebrate the life in the universal language. Whether it's Ewokies, whether it's Tandorin.

Starting point is 00:06:51 I imagine you don't want to get on Joelle's bad side. I imagine whoever that person was is like somewhere. It takes a lot to get me angry. It takes so much, but people have achieved it. People have achieved it. It's not pleasant. It's a level in a game i feel like when it gets to that i feel i feel like when it gets to that level though joelle's

That's it. Have you ever laid hands on someone? Yeah, in defense. I didn't start it, but I fought back. I hate when people try and start shit. Why?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Why am I going to mess up my beautiful face? Some people are like, you've got to teach them a lesson. Listen, I don't want to stay out of your way and you need to stay out of mine and it's fine i have a large friendship circle they will protect me emotionally physically spiritually if necessary i'm just not gonna do it i don't need yeah i don't need that in my life i was prepared to once though when an old man was trying to come on to a 12 year old in a starbucks yeah i had to that's when you like in a Starbucks. Yeah. I had to like his hands down his pants. I had to like absolutely step in front of the two of them.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Nobody was doing anything. He's being very loud and obvious about it. She's terrified. I was like, bro, you got to get out of here. I was talking to her like, you don't need to talk to her. She's alone in a Starbucks. If she's not 14, like that's the max age she could be. I was ready that day, but it didn't come to it.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Good. Good. Thank God. So I went to Governor's Ball and saw Charlotte Lawrence perform. It was very exciting. I don't know if you saw the videos on the interwebs. The videos look amazing. And it was so cool because I had the experience of not only seeing Charlotte,
Starting point is 00:09:18 who I've known since a little kid, performing at this giant festival, but standing next to her father who, you know, there's a Yiddish expression called kvelling. And it means, my father used to always say it, it's when your heart is so full of pride and you're just beaming at your child often. And he was kvelling, watching his daughter just rule the stage. And she was so funny.
Starting point is 00:09:41 She had a couple of fuck-ups. She did the funniest, but she made a joke out of it. She had one big funny joke that got a laugh and bill goes i wrote that and then um and then she's jamming on the guitar she has this moment where she goes and picks up the guitar and she goes over to her guitar and they're like jamming together like people do on stage and then you see her talking to him and they both start laughing. And she goes over to the guitar plug and picks it up. The guitar wasn't plugged in for the moment that they were jamming together. And she makes this face like. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:13 But my point is she knew even through fuck ups to like how to make a joke out of it. In front of so many people. That's amazing. She's her parents kid, man. That's awesome. And she sounded great. And then I went and saw, we went,
Starting point is 00:10:29 we had some time to kill. So we thought, I wanted to see Phoebe Bridgers, who was going to be on the same stage, but Meg the Stallion was on another stage. You did? No, you're not going to believe this. Bill Lawrence and I went to Meg the Stallion.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And I wish you could have seen it. With you two And I wish you could have seen a camera on me and Bill watching Meg the Stallion and her dancers dance very, very, very provocatively. I sent Donald a little video. But I only know Meg the Stallion from the WAP video. I don't really know her music. You don't know Savage? Classy?
Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh, yeah. Boosie? You don't know that one? Anyway, it's a lot like a strip pole show with music. There's a lot of naughty, naughty twerking, Donald. That's great. I love that. That's great.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I know. I'm just saying, Bill and I. I totally appreciate the fact that you two went and you know got a little bit of culture we did we got some culture I had two we did two songs worth of twerking and then
Starting point is 00:11:35 we left what were the two songs I don't know but there was heavy twerking involved in both of them. But then we watched Phoebe Bridgers, which was a little bit more our speed. But no, that was it. That was cool. What kind of music does Phoebe Bridgers sing?
Starting point is 00:12:04 You know, it's singer-songwriter. You'd probably find it boring. No, I like singer-songwriter stuff. You know, it's a girl singing sad songs with her guitar. You know who I like? She's got beautiful poetry. What? The young lady I like is, what's her name? Follow your arrow wherever it points.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Country singer. Make lots of noise. Kiss lots of boys. Or kiss lots of girls. If that's what you're into. Yeah, Kacey Musgraves. I was going to be my only guess. Kacey Musgraves.
Starting point is 00:12:39 A talent. Yes. When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight roll up a joint that shit is fire follow your arrow wherever it points down follow your arrow wherever it points um did you watch amanda klutz on dancing with the stars crushed now i don't know anything about the scoring, but giving her sevens for that was fucking bullshit. I think it must be one of those things
Starting point is 00:13:10 where they don't want to get your ego too high week one. Also, that basketball player, did you watch him? He was incredible, and he got low scores too. Did you guys not watch him this time? You watched. I did watch it. I'm not a big fan of people judging how other people dance. I think that's kind of, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Okay, but didn't you think his scores were too low? He was incredible. Yeah, of course I do. But, you know, hey, whatever. That's the way it goes. Anyway, everybody listening, watch Amanda Kloots. You know, yeah, if anything, what I took away from the whole show was, vote Amanda Kloots, y'all.
Starting point is 00:13:53 If you're listening to this and she's still on when this comes out, please vote Amanda Kloots. Vote Amanda Kloots. Her dance was amazing. And I'm going to watch tonight. I'm excited. I'm going to watch tonight, too. Yeah, Donald, I like to. I was live texting. You know who should have been on the show?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Not Iman Shumpert, who's the basketball player you're talking about. His wife, Tiana Taylor. Oh, hey. Oh, my goodness gracious. But that's a cheat, because she's like a professional dancer, though. So is Amanda Kloots. Oh, Amanda is. Well, in fairness to Kloots, I just want to give Kloots one fair thing.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Okay? Of course she's a dancer. So is Spice, the Spice Girl. So is the freaking gymnastics. So is JoJo. What's her name? Yeah, all of that stuff is, all of those cats have taken dance class and all of that stuff. And Cody was a backup dancer, apparently.
Starting point is 00:14:36 But anyway, the point is. Unfortunately, Cody's not on right now because his. I know. Did you hear what happened? Yeah, man. Cody's partner got COVID so he can't perform this week. Oh, funny. You know what's bullshit?
Starting point is 00:14:48 They should have given him some other pro to come in, and I'm sure the pro could have picked it up in a half a day or probably 10 minutes and danced with him. Don't you think that would have been better? Well, it was the day before. It's literally, literally yesterday. I know, but tune. I know, dude. I know. i know why not why not if i was
Starting point is 00:15:07 a producer of the show i would have said everyone this is a stand-in so you got to treat his points and and everything be gentle but he'll be dancing with svetlana everybody yay svetlana svetlana could learn the routine in a half a day who's's Svetlana? She's my stand-in professional dancer. Oh, I thought you actually knew. No, but they often have, like, Eastern European names. Svetlana sounded right. I did not doubt it. I don't know why they didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Like, bring in a ringer. I don't know. An understudy, if you will, Donald, to use a theater term. Yeah. A backup dancer. Well, I just feel bad for Cody. Yeah. But anyway, Amanda's...
Starting point is 00:15:54 Amanda Kloots, y'all. Amanda Kloots. I don't know how long... When does this air, this one, Joel? Do you have any idea? We are so far ahead right now. This is going to air like mid-November. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Should we get into the show? We should totally get into the show. Let's do it! 5, 6, 7, 8! So gather round to hear our gather round to hear our. Gather round to hear our. Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
Starting point is 00:16:35 This episode has so many things packed into it, Donald. I mean, sometimes you get an episode. What? All old jokes. Every joke in this. They're not all old. Pretty much every joke in this is old jokes. Except for the Turk and Carla storyline and the stuff that goes on with Cox.
Starting point is 00:16:49 There's some random ass shit. First of all, the riddle's not old. The hermit's not old. The riddle is old. The riddle, we did this one already. The riddle is old. That's why it's called My Deja Vu, My Deja Vu. We did this.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Everything in this is all reused jokes. All of the jokes in this. Wait a second second the riddle has already been on yes no joelle yes yes yeah that's why at the end you say oh that's what happened to my bike because he destroyed your bike last last time you rode it the hermit all of the stuff the whole show is all jokes from Scrubs past. Oh, so that's so lame. It's like a, what do they call it, a clip show. It's not a clip show. We actually act out all of the old jokes, though.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Did you watch the show? It's really funny. I watched it, but I didn't. I'm sorry that my memory... I honestly went, oh, this is the one with the riddle. Oh, this is the one with hair mint. I didn't know that they're rehashes. This is all rehashes. That's so lame. Why did they do that?
Starting point is 00:17:55 I don't know. I guess they wanted to prove you could tell the same... It's all still funny. Like all of the Todd jokes. They must have been really fucked in the writers room. You didn't laugh at Innuendo again? I laughed at every single one of them, but I'm sorry that my brain can't even tell you. I was under the impression I was hearing these for the first time. There was a whole floating head doctor, a renewed floating head doctor short.
Starting point is 00:18:17 But that was a new floating head doctor. That was a new floating head doctor short, yes. Yeah, that stunt lady took some nice hits to the head. To the head. All right, so Cox returns from his hiatus trying to drink himself to death, as he put it.
Starting point is 00:18:35 And I give him a big hug. It's said on Scrubs Wiki, this is the second time we ever hug. Right. Does he hug you back, though? I don't think so. And and i say you sent those demons right back to hell didn't you i was out of my mind in this episode dude yeah this whole episode is out of its mind dude i know but i was extra effeminate and extra silly and uh i enjoyed it don't get me wrong but i was like on blow or something i mean not in real life the character was extra hyper yeah well we should also talk about first of all we should talk about
Starting point is 00:19:11 earnley these are the these are the things in the show that weren't deja vu ernie the homeless man okay welcome back coxer welcome back coxer now how hard did you laugh when I'm going off on my run? Oh, dude. Who'd have thought they'd need us? That was a run I was going to do, but I guess it's a little awkward now. That shit was hilarious. Who'd I remember us shooting? This is the only part of the episode that I remember us shooting.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Everything else, I don't remember. But who'd have thought they'd need you? That was a run that I was going to do. And when I'm like, well, them names, them names. I wish I still had a Welcome Back Coxer t-shirt. Those were nice. Yeah. Yeah, they were nice. That was a run that I was going to do, but now it's awkward.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Who'd have thought they'd need you? Why am I riding Sasha through a ring of fire? Can you explain that to me? Because this is what you do. It's a routine of yours that has developed. I had to run an errand, so I grab an apple. As always, you get a lunch. My lunch was the apple off an apple tree.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And then I did something else. And then I rode through a ring of fire. Which then there's a callback later on. Yeah, but you just run through the ring of fire. Yeah, Turk jumps through it. That was your stunt double, though. Yeah, like this episode was nuts, man. Yeah, it was bad shit.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I don't remember some of this shit. Some of the things that like Turk gets to watch Sanford and Son Because Carla's reading her book And so all of the great things That happened to him The one where it really fucked it up Was like he offers her a burrito He has two, he offers her one
Starting point is 00:20:57 And she says no He puts the burrito off screen And does a little hand movement And all of a sudden it's one gigantic burrito. That's so stupid. I wish I had that ability. I wish I had that ability. Do you ever watch the guys who roll the burritos when you're at one of those places?
Starting point is 00:21:15 You know, whatever, it's Chipotle or something better. And you're like, they're never going to be able to roll this one. Right, it's too big. It's too thick. But they always do. They always find a way. They always tuck it in. They always get it.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I bet burrito employees are good baby swaddlers. Probably. Probably, because that's what you're pretty much doing. You know what I learned on the interwebs? Do you know who wrote the Sanford and Son theme song, Gal? If you say Alan Thicke. No. Who?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Quincy Jones. Barry Manilow. No. Who? Quincy Jones. Barry Manilow. Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones, really? Was Quincy? No way. That was on the interwebs. We license that shit like every other week.
Starting point is 00:21:56 We're paying Quincy money he doesn't need. By the way, I met J.J. Abrams daughter I was trying to angle for a part for you because she's one of Charlotte's best friends and and she's very nice she's a singer too but I'm staring and I'm going
Starting point is 00:22:16 how can I get Donald a job through JJ I know JJ I did Felicity with JJ I know but I thought if JJ wants to use me, he knows how to find me. I just thought if the daughter came home and said, Dad, you know who's so funny?
Starting point is 00:22:31 Donald Faison. He might be like, yes, I worked with Donald back before I was a mega, mega director. That would help a lot, actually. I was trying for you. That always helps, I guess. When the kids come home and say dad you know what this dude is fire
Starting point is 00:22:49 ended up in Rihanna's music video bitch better have my money his kids were like you can't pass up an opportunity to work with Rihanna he was like I don't know who that is and they were like please work with Rihanna Mads Mikkelsen kids get a lot of stuff done for their casting
Starting point is 00:23:03 you guys gotta watch listeners did I mention The Hunt already Mads Mikkelsen. Kids get a lot of stuff done. What a good casting. I want to tell us. I want to, you guys got to watch listeners. Did I mention the hunt already? You guys got to watch this movie with Mads Mikkelsen called the hunt. It is wild. It is. It is dark as fuck.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You cannot be someone who doesn't. And I don't mean thriller, horror, dark. I mean, emotionally dark. Like you're going to be in the fetal position when it's over, but it's so good.

Dude, this episode is, well, that joke is, first of all, where's the punchline in the joke other than the nectar? You know what I mean? It's just the word nectar is funny. That's all. But even before that, though, oh, come on, Kevin, you know, make it. That's the punchline of that part of the joke. Come on, Kevin, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Make it. It's fucking hilarious. Like, don't act like you. What the hell is a nectarini? I don't know. I don't know. Is it a real drink, Joelle? What's in a nectarini? I've never heard. I don't know. Is it a real drink, Joelle? What's in a nectarini?
Starting point is 00:30:06 I've never heard of it, but I'll look it up right now. How about when I pass the basketball to Leonard and he catches it with his hook hand and pops it? No ball in the hole. That's a freaking actual. That's also a deja vu moment. And now two things. I say don't worry about the ball. They come three to a can.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Tennis. Yes. And then did you notice that Leonard has to duck for his Afro to get underneath the doorway? Poor Leonard. I mean, he's a security guard. He's pacing around the hospital, and every doorway he has to duck because of that hairstyle.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah. Hilarious. What is he pacing around? He doesn't have a station. He doesn't have a station where they can be like. Leonard's the type of security guard that has to walk the halls and see if there's any trouble. Is it like a century? Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Here we go. It's a Prosecco cocktail made with fresh nectarines and chilled Prosecco. That looks delicious. It's kind of like a mimosa, but instead of orange juice, nectarine juice.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Oh, come on, Kevin. You know. You know. Make it. Now, we learned that Troy went to Yale, which has to be. This is all deja vu, dude. Troy going to Yale was deja vu? Deja vu, bud. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Analgesic, I remembered, was deja vu. Yes. I learned it from watching you you made me laugh so hard that's funny for those of you who don't know there used to be a public service announcement about drugs right and do you remember that Donald
Starting point is 00:31:58 yeah man what was the drug that the parents were doing it was weed so the whole idea for the PSA this is when Donald and I were growing up and it was definitely at least in the tri-state area and and the and the parents were like where did you how do who taught you how to do this he found like the kid's weed and the pet the kid was like i learned it from watching you he goes you okay i learned it from watching you yeah and it was like it's supposed to be a psa to parents like you know
Starting point is 00:32:24 don't smoke weed in your front of your kids right they're gonna smoke just like you yeah and it was like it's supposed to be a psa to parents like you know don't smoke weed in your front of your kids right they're gonna smoke just like you yeah you can i'm sure you could find it on youtube i learned it from watching you but even the monologue when cock when you walk into the hospital in the beginning of the show and he does the monologue the rhythm of it and you stepping in in between it and for the punch line and then him going back into nevertheless and whatever it is you know what i mean that all deja vu like all of it like this whole i think we need to have an ask bill here i know it's hard to track him down now that he's an emmy winner but um bill time bill now we know you're big time and you're an
Starting point is 00:33:03 emmy winner now and probably won't return our call, but why did you do this episode and just repeat all these jokes? Was the writer's room so backed up that your idea was, what if we did a Deja Vu episode and repeated all of our greatest hit jokes? Well, it's not even the greatest hit jokes, though.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Let's keep it honest. There's some pretty darn good ones. Some great ones, actually, but some of them are ones that people missed before so it's like you know let's like obviously you didn't recognize it because you forgot about the you thought this was all the first time these jokes came through all right well bill what was the reason behind repeating all these jokes in my deja vu ask bill okay um you know what you guys should uh ask bill hey bill how you feeling man how you doing you lonely because if you did ask bill that the answer would be no i'm good uh anyways yeah my deja vu here's the scoop it's really hard to come up with all the stories we came up with
Starting point is 00:34:05 on scrubs because um one of the things all these physicians and we tried to be realistic you know as a medical show and one of the things all the physicians that we uh interviewed would often say is the amazing thing is you kind of sometimes see the same things over and over and over and over um and then we kind of got obsessed with uh you know maybe we could do the same things over and over and over and over. And then we kind of got obsessed with, maybe we could do the same medical stories with two patients or with a patient in the hospital, but with different endings because sometimes people come in
Starting point is 00:34:36 and it goes differently, right? And also we were way behind. And so this felt like a great idea to do an episode quick because if it's called Made My Deja Vu Deja Vu, we all tell stories twice. We all tell jokes twice. And the laziest thing we did in this episode was we did the janitor C story, the riddle, line for line except for one change. Line for line and shot for shot.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Do you know what the one change is? We should ask Bill. Ask Bill. Hey, you know what you guys should ask Bill when you ask Bill sometimes is you should ask Bill how he's feeling. And, you know, hey, Bill, when we ask Bill, how are you doing?
Starting point is 00:35:22 You know what that Bill would say? That Bill would say, you know, I hide it, but sometimes I'm not so great. So I don't know. Anyways, the one difference in the longest ask Bill ever. The one difference was the janitor changed where he went to college. The first time we did it, I think he said he went to Harvard. And the second time he said he went to Yale. There first time we did it, I think he said he went to Harvard, and the second time he said he went to Yale. There's your trivia answer.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Peace out. How are you guys doing? See ya. Thank you, Bill. Carla says if she can't do things, Turk can't do things. Now, did this happen to you? Is this a thing that really happens to companies?
Starting point is 00:36:00 I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. My wife didn't do that to me. When my wife was pregnant with our kids, dude, I got to get as fucked up as, like, that was the best part about it. I was like, I'm going to party tonight. We're going out tonight. We're going to go eat sushi. Oh, because you had a built-in designated driver.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah. I was like, we're going to get sushi. She's like, I can't eat sushi. I was like, you can eat the hot plates. And she was like, you're right. I can't eat the hot plates. I do like the hot plates. And we'd go and we'd eat sushi. i'd fucking get bombed on sake and she'd fucking drop us
Starting point is 00:36:30 now i have a question see couples deal with this differently and you're our only father so i guess listeners will be answering to their phones but i hear that like some some couples do this they're like no no you have to do it with me. You can't drink. That's selfish. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. What about in the middle of the night when the mom has to get up to breastfeed? That's selfish.
Starting point is 00:36:53 That's bullshit. Some women make the father get up, too, to sit with her. That's cool. I don't know about get up and sit with them, but I do believe that if you have bottles and stuff like that, and you're doing it that way, the dad should do that. Right, but what about in the scenario
Starting point is 00:37:10 where the baby just needs to breastfeed? Is the father expected to just get up and sit there? That ain't right. That's not as selfish, man. Joelle, do you have any knowledge of this? That's selfish. Yeah, because my dad was the only one who could get me to go back to sleep.
Starting point is 00:37:25 So he was up. My mom was like, she doesn't go to sleep with me. So you have to be up for her. That's a different story. But I would think, totally, totally. I would think that in my non-child having head, so mothers, feel free to correct me. But wouldn't I want my partner to be asleep so that later I could be asleep and they could be up? I feel like we have to tag team this child anyway.
Starting point is 00:37:46 So I don't need us both being equally as exhausted. Amanda and Nick, I think, did a version of that where Amanda would just let Nick sleep while she would breastfeed. And then in the morning, she'd be like, you're taking the baby on a long ass walk and I'm going to sleep. And they had a little situation like that. Yeah, that's the right way to do it. Okay, so actually, more than anything, That's the right way to do it. Okay, so actually, more than anything, communication is the right way to do it. If you guys can come up with a plan, it works.
Starting point is 00:38:14 The fact that Carla just springs this on Turk like, no, this is the way it's going to be. She bitch slaps a beer out of your hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was funny, though. But I do that with my kids now, where my kid will be like, I'm drinking this. And I'll be like, you better not drink it. You better put that back in the fridge. And he goes, I'm going to open it. And he'll open up.
Starting point is 00:38:29 You better not sip it then. And he'll sip that shit. And that's when hell breaks loose. You bitched that out of his head? Well, yeah. And then he sits there. And then he'll stand there like, I can't believe you just hit that out of my hand. What will it be?
Starting point is 00:38:43 Something with caffeine or something? No. Like, you know. So i made the mistake oh god these are the mistakes you make in life i let them i let them taste sprite and i let them taste canada dry ginger ale yeahfree versions of those. Yeah, but the sugar-free version is just as bad as the sugar version. Regardless of what is in it, it is not necessarily a good thing for them to drink. But I made the mistake one time of saying, I could feel the devil coming out of my skin. You want to try this little boy? You want to try this little girl? You want to try this little girl?
Starting point is 00:39:26 Knowing that the minute they tasted it, it would be like, I must have this forever and ever and ever. Why don't you just not have it in the house? We don't have it in the house. But anyway, so but when it is in the house, he'll be like, can I have some ginger ale? I'll be like, no. And he'll be like, look, my kid is the king of manipulation. He's like, I'm just trying to have a conversation with you, Dad. I'm like, we had the conversation.
Starting point is 00:39:47 I said, no. He's like, that's not a conversation. That's you telling me no. That's all that is. We're not talking about anything. You haven't even heard what I'm asking for. Oh, my God. This is my son.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Where did this come from? I have no clue. I have no clue. I think kids are good at just, they know their parents are tired, right? And they just know, like, if they keep it going, the parent is just exhausted. They're like, fuck, just shut up. Have it. It's yours.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Fine. You win. That's what they, that's what. But don't you think kids play on that? They know that you're just always tired. So you're just going to be like you're just gonna be like oh fine have it he's a little ass sometimes like he's a dummy sometimes like one time he did that he right and as he's walking away with the prize he goes and that's what i and that's how it's done
Starting point is 00:40:37 i knew if i just pressured her and he walks by and walks out the room right with whatever the whatever it was whether it's a donut a soft drink or whatever the fuck it is he's now exited and is about to go and do what it is that he wanted to do and he lets out what the plan was and me and my wife both look at each other like what the fuck this
Starting point is 00:41:01 motherfucker did what the fuck he's running that house over there Like, what the fuck this motherfucker did? What the fuck? He's running that house over there. He runs the show right now. Draco, future CEO over here, understands. Yeah, and he just gets the art of you say no, and he finds a way to make it so that no was the wrong answer. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:24 It's like, no, I said no. You're not even having a conversation. I did have the conversation with you. Yeah, the answer is no. the wrong answer. You know what I mean? It's like, no, I said no. You're not even having a conversation. I did have the conversation with you. Yeah, the answer is no. I said no. That's not even where we're at yet. I haven't even explained to you the scenario or what it is I'm trying to do.
Starting point is 00:41:38 What I'm trying to say is, Rocco, I said no. And now you're interrupting me. Oh, my God. I wish you just let me finish. I'm not having kids. Yeah, don't do it. I would not survive the 80s. We need someone on this podcast who promotes how great having kids is because
Starting point is 00:41:53 this podcast is making me not need them. You know, I'll tell you this right now. They sound exhausting. But then this weekend, I freaking, you know, it's true. But then this weekend, we went out and watched him play a soccer game against a bunch of other kids. And they all, like his team, the team that they were playing against
Starting point is 00:42:15 was obviously better than them, was better passing, all of that stuff. But his team won by one point. It was a penalty kick, and Rocco kicked the penalty kick into the goal. You know what I mean? And it was 1-0. And it was a hard-fought game. And, you know, our goalkeeper, he blocked like 100, not hundreds, but like at least 10 shots directly at him.
Starting point is 00:42:42 It was just an amazing game. 1-0. Goal. 1-0. Go team. Congratulations. I laughed at when I get your coffee, I go, please have some sort of nut. It's hazel. It's hazel.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I only like one type of nut milk in my coffee. Almond. That's it. No, I think I was talking about the coffee blend itself. It was hazelnut coffee. Almond. That's it. No, I think I was talking about the coffee blend itself. It was hazelnut coffee. Do you like hazelnut? I do. I only like oat milk in terms of milk.
Starting point is 00:43:14 You don't like almond. Why? I like the taste of oats, and I think it makes a nice flavor. A lot of people are allergic to oats. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't have real milk in my coffee anymore. Lyeberry.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Library. Strawberry. Strawberry. These are all old jokes? Yes. I feel so... I will say this. What's the word?

Is this around the holidays yet? Are we near the holidays? Well, I want to say that Cox finally comes around and has a very heartfelt conversation with Elliot.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And I thought that was well done. And he's so mean to her. I think she said, you've never shown me an ounce of respect. And then he confesses to her that he was indeed petrified to make a decision on his patient's healthcare. And he didn't want anyone to know. And he said,
Starting point is 00:49:24 I hope that in telling you this, you see that I do indeed respect you. Yes. I thought that was well acted by them. Both, both of them. Yeah. Well,
Starting point is 00:49:35 this episode, everyone else is in peripheral. These two are actually center stage telling, uh, the ACE story. And it's a great, it's a great, it's a great fake out too you know like you honestly believe that cox is back and he's fine but in all honesty he's still it's still in him and he still feels you know he still feels uh the guilt i'm sure that happens to
Starting point is 00:50:01 to real doctors when they they make a call that was wrong. I can imagine they get in their head and second-guess themselves.

Couple harmonies. The world spins madly on troy might have killed somebody in confusion like it's a possibility like somebody confused him so much that he was like kill him
Starting point is 00:50:55 troy troy seems to not get that the janitor doesn't really want me dead he he likes to torture me and he likes to ruin my life but troy keeps having to be told that no we're not we're not going to kill jd but he's and he's so eager to do it also right i just feel like what would happen if troy the muzzle was taken off if the muzzle was off yeah it's like you know i used to have this cat and the the cat would be out all night. It was an outdoor cat. It came in and out. But when it was out at night, it would leave offerings of the animals it caught on the back deck.
Starting point is 00:51:33 It would leave a little rat. It would leave a little bird. Just a little bit. And that's kind of what cats do for who they perceive to be the leader of the pack. Was this your cat? Yeah, it was our family cat. Okay. But in terms of the cat mentality, they want to leave offerings to the leader of the pack.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Look what I caught for you, great leader. Here is my contribution. Right. Here is what I did last night. And I thought, what if Troy did that for Neil and killed me and left me on the janitor's back porch? My God. That would have been a good fantasy.
Starting point is 00:52:22 I'm no Superman, man. Finale. Over. Done. I'm no Superman finale over I'm no Superman it turns out I was not a Superman because I'm dead I'm no Superman gunk series finale
Starting point is 00:52:43 tonight on a very special episode of scrubs it's the series finale see my new tattoo that I showed you guys a skull that's so cool I really like it why'd you get a skull
Starting point is 00:52:59 I got a skull because I guess I got a skull because... I guess I got a skull because... I just like skulls. Okay. I understand. It's just... I mean, it's a skull. I know, but it's not a scary skull.
Starting point is 00:53:19 It's a skull. It's just a cute skull. All right, Joel. Let's bring the collar in ladies and gentlemen give it up for Michelle! Hi! Hi, Michelle. I know that face.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Are you still married? The question is, are you still married? Oh, my goodness. Is that Michelle? Oh, my goodness. Is that Michelle? Oh, Joelle, Christmas has come early. Michelle, I'm worried that you're sitting alone. Is that a bad sign? It is not.
Starting point is 00:54:18 My husband had to go on a business trip. We are still married. A business trip. And by business trip, he went to go let's remind our listeners who um have missed the episode michelle please interrupt me if i if i summarize this in any incorrect way michelle um went to her husband and said that she would like to have sex with his best friend. And her husband said, okay. He didn't say okay.
Starting point is 00:54:51 He was like, yes. And he was not allowed to be there. They would go off and do it at the friend's house. And they do it monthly, Michelle? Every other week. Every other week. Every other week. Oh, sorry, bi-monthly. Yes. And the friend still hangs out with them at their house.
Starting point is 00:55:12 They're all tight. And at last check-in, the husband had not yet been given an opportunity to have the same sort of situation on her side of things. But Michelle did say it was all good if he did want to do it. They just had to find the right person. Right. Michelle, what is going on in this wacky family? Well, I am sorry to tell you that it is not very much of an update. Everything is still good.
Starting point is 00:55:42 He has not done anything, but he knows that he has permission. We've discussed it at length. So I don't know if he wants to, and I am not going to pressure him into doing it just so that it feels okay for me. Right. Whenever you return from your date with the friend, does he ever ask questions? Like, what did you guys do? What did you watch? What, what did you, what was it? Does he have curiosity about it?
Starting point is 00:56:11 He usually asks like, what, what'd you watch? And we do, we watch, you know, a movie or a show or, you know, whatever it might be. He has never really asked details about the other activities. really asked details about the other activities. But, you know, I just say it was a good evening or, you know, we, me and the friend obviously have conversations too. And if something relevant comes up, we'll talk about that. Not even relationship wise, just we're friends who talk about things have similar interests.
Starting point is 00:56:41 So I have a question. Go ahead. I call on you, Donald. Do you worry about forming a deeper relationship? Yeah, good question, Donald. No, I mean, and that was my husband's one of his concerns with this is like, yeah, understandably. You know, my husband and I have been together for, this Saturday will be our 11th wedding anniversary. Wow. Yeah, we've been together for 17 years. I'm 33, so I've been with him my entire adult life. So, like, there's nothing that can be deeper and more profound than that connection that we have already.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Yeah. You guys knew each other since junior high school. You said since high school, high school. Okay. Yeah. I think I would be insecure about, I know I've said this before,
Starting point is 00:57:36 but on so many levels, there's the, what if he's better at sex or I'm not better at sex, but what if they have a better sexual chemistry than we do what if it's bigger than mine of course what if his penis is bigger and more satisfying and girthier um what if you know and of course as donald put it what if what if all of a sudden they just hit it off and they have this incredible emotional connection that's deeper than ours that would make me so nuts yeah and i mean we, we've talked about that
Starting point is 00:58:06 at length, probably more so than a regular relationship because we've brought this up. Um, you know, that is not, it's hard to know because you're just getting little snippets of our lives. But, um, you know, when this first came up, my husband's like, ask those exact same questions. What if, you know, you fall madly in love and you run away with him? And I said, OK, let's play that out. He would never the friend would never, ever let that happen. Like, even if I'm like, oh, my gosh, I love you. Like, let's run away together.
Starting point is 00:58:39 He doesn't want to deal with my kids. But what if the friend. OK, I hear what you're saying but yeah do you ever think when you're fully honest with yourself the friend might have very strong feelings for you yeah and that that is valid and we does he date sorry just sorry michelle does he date outside of this situation he has not yet he is on dating apps he's looking around we talk about it like sometimes when i go over there we'll look at the matches and i'll help him like craft messages and you won't be you won't be jealous when he is with somebody else no and we've had i check in with
Starting point is 00:59:16 him probably annoyingly frequently and make sure like we're all good Like whatever you want on that end, like you just have to let me know. You know, I will do this as long as everyone is comfortable and having a good time. If you feel like you need more out of a relationship, like an actual relationship where you can, you know, foster something long term, get married, what have you. Yeah. Just tell me. Yeah, because you don't want him especially if he's your friend getting stuck in a situation where he's like all right here's my conundrum i love michelle but she's never gonna be mine because we've established the parameters but i don't care
Starting point is 00:59:55 i'm obsessed with her maybe one day she'll change her mind so i'm not gonna go out and find my life partner that could happen right right and, I have told him that, that please, I want, ultimately I want everyone in this situation to be happy and whatever that takes, like before we even started this, before anything happened, when we had the initial discussion, like, Hey, would you be interested in this? Um, I told him, and we had this discussion that, you know, our friendship comes first, like, that was his main concern. He's like, I don't want this to negatively impact our friendship. You know, the three of us have been friends for a long time, we lost touch for a few years, like right before the pandemic, and then the pandemic kind of brought
Starting point is 01:00:42 us back into the fold. So that friendship bond is there. We just have a little extra. I got to tell you, Michelle, whatever it is, it's working for you. Cause you definitely look happy. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:00:56 Even from when we saw you the first time, it's like a complete glow up. I don't know if it's the hair, your hair is different, but she's matching the eyes, whatever it is, but it's like a glow up. So you seem happy. So the hair your hair is different but she's mashing the eyes whatever it is but it's like a glow up so you seem happy so whatever it is you guys i know but i'm fascinated works for you but donald i'm fascinated by the fact that michelle is pulling off this balancing
Starting point is 01:01:15 act i i know well she's juggling she definitely is juggling no matter what you say situation yeah man it's, what do I want tonight? Beef or chicken? You know what I'm saying? She's juggling it. There's nothing wrong with that. I saw Neil Brennan did a show that I highly recommend you guys see
Starting point is 01:01:38 at the Cherry Lane Theater if you're in New York. It's incredible. But he made some joke that was like, your wife wants to have sex three or four times a week, just not necessarily with you. And I thought that was funny. And Michelle's living her best life like that. But Joelle, what are your thoughts on this? You're a very progressive woman. You, you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:02 What do you, I mean, how do I I'm speechless do you have any thoughts on this what really impresses me is Michelle's ability to communicate I feel like a lot of people when they view polyamory they think of like oh my whole sex partners and it's like fun and wild but for my friends who are in polyamorous relationships the most difficult part is like now I gotta juggle four people's emotions and figure out how they all feel like I'm a friend who dates couples right they're like I don't want to be in a committed relationship but I'm looking for like the feelings of love without having to fall in love and I mean when you're with a couple like that's really messy you're like working with both of their like needs and desires but also they
Starting point is 01:02:39 come with their own like couple baggage um and so it's hard I think to have successful relationships like this I was gonna say the same thing, Joelle. Like what happens when he does find another relationship, but you guys still keep your relationship going and the other person has to find their way into this. Then we sell this whole fucking thing to Bravo. That's what happens. Zach, I promise you this isn't new.
Starting point is 01:03:04 This happens all the time. No, I know, but isn't new. This happens all the time. No, I know, but it's new to me. Even Joelle using the proper lingo, polyamorous relationships, it's new to me. I don't know. Michelle is the first person I've ever spoken to who's doing this successfully. And I'm sure a lot of our listeners all over the world are, are, are hearing about it for the first time. I mean,
Starting point is 01:03:28 some, and some are doing it successfully. And some of them are listening while they're fucking their, their husband's best friend. They're fighting him right now. Being like, it's like us. Oh,

Starting point is 01:05:48 I used to have so many men. How this beguiling woman in her 50s. She looked like a million bucks. With zero qualifications. She had a Harvard plaque. Tricks her way past a wall of lawyers and agents. She's got all of these Maseratis and Bentleys all in the driveway. Is it like a mansion?
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yes, it's a mansion. That this queen of the con uses to scam some of the biggest names in professional sports out of untold fortunes. About six million. Approximately 11 million dollars. Nearly 10 million dollars was all gone. Employing whatever means necessary to bleed her victims dry. She would probably have sex with one of her clients. Hide your money in your old Richmond because she is on the prowl.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Listen to Queen of the Con, season five, The Athlete Whisperer, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine you ask two people the same exact set of 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 actress and star of the mega hit sitcom Friends, Courtney Cox. You can't go around it, so you just go through it. This is a roadblock. It's going to catch you down the road.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Go through it. Deal with it. Comedian, writer, and star of the series Catastrophe, Rob Delaney. I shouldn't feel guilty about my son's death. He died of a brain tumor. It's part of what happens when your kid dies. Intellectually, you'll understand that it's not your fault,
Starting point is 01:07:24 but you'll still feel guilty. Alt-rock icon, Liz Phair. That personal disaster wrote Guyville. So everything comes out of a dead end. And many, many more. Join me on season three of Many Questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. By the way, sorry, this is a side note, Michelle,
Starting point is 01:07:57 if you don't mind my digression. Joelle sent Donald and I a link for someone who wants to advertise on our on our show and i don't want to say the product name because i don't want to give them an ad before we decide but joelle send the link to daniel so he knows what it is it is a thing you put your penis into and it blows is it blow air on it yes it's suction it's suction and blowing yeah it. It's air pressure. It's not a fake vagina. No, it's actually made for men and women. It's men and women.
Starting point is 01:08:33 No, no. It's for the phallus, Donald. I know, but no. They're saying the same thing that they do. There's a suction thing that they have for women now that they can put on their clitoris. It's the same technology. Okay, but, Joel, I was shocked, A, that you wanted us to advertise this on the podcast
Starting point is 01:08:47 and B, that I don't have one at my home to try. I was going to say, we should at least try these things out first. Joel, I just want you to know, the product like that, we have to test it to see these things. I can't endorse
Starting point is 01:09:04 the Dyson penis sucker until I've tried it. The 5,000 until. And send Daniel one too, Joelle. Oh, boy. Okay. Did you see it, Daniel? There's a whole video. I went to their website because I was obviously curious.
Starting point is 01:09:22 And I was like, how are they going to do a demonstration video? They clearly smartly use animation, not real people. But it's fascinating. Does it promote anything? Does it promote anything? Actually, their ad campaign is, don't you ever wish you could have an orgasm on the scale of a female orgasm? have an orgasm on the scale of a female orgasm and this and this product says that it will give the male the explosive nature of why haven't we received product from we are not listen if you work for this company we are not advertising for you until we get samples for discussion.
Starting point is 01:10:09 All right. I'm sorry, Michelle. I just had to bring that up. I had to bring that up. Well, listen, the good news is that things are good and nothing bad has happened, and you are living proof that people can be in polyamorous relationships and be happy. And it doesn't even have to be reciprocated in a sense that your husband seems fine not having his own situation. I wonder if his best friend, that's the thing, I wonder if his best friend, when he does find a relationship, because he is actively looking i wonder if he introduces
Starting point is 01:10:45 have you guys talked about him introducing his relationship into this uh he hasn't gotten very far in that that world um yeah he's he's not he's not going on dates right right he's he's you know made some matches and talked to a few people but but he has told me he will be totally open with where he is at in that process. And I am the kind of person that if he starts going on dates, I'm going to ask him, where do you want to introduce this? Do you want to just cut this off for a while? But you also want to make sure you're safe because if he's out there having sex with randos. Yes. But also, I mean, another thing that's, let's just state that's obvious is he's having his sexual needs met.
Starting point is 01:11:35 So that hunger to go out and search for a mate is probably lessened because he knows bi-monthly. He's like, not this this week but next week and i i when he told me he had downloaded these dating apps i'm like do you like do you want me to stop like do you want to stop this and you know just start clean and he his response was it feels good to have that self-confidence of of being active he was like he was like what you talking about stop i love his very diplomatic answer no i i don't feel that that would be the best description you want to stop what we do wait hold on now you want to stop what we're doing? Wait, hold on now. You want to stop the... I was bullshit when I said I was looking at the apps.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I wasn't serious. Alright. I imagine we just came on for a catch us up, right? Unless you have any questions. No, she can't have any questions. This woman's life is all figured out. She's got it all going. Do you have a questions. No, she can't have any questions. This woman's life is all figured out. She's got it all going.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Do you have a fix your life? I don't. I just want to clarify one thing. Go for it. We haven't labeled this like we are just living this life. But I think the term open marriage is probably more appropriate than polyamory. Okay. I don't know. We just go more appropriate than polyamory. Okay. So.
Starting point is 01:13:06 I don't know. We just go by Joelle. She's our term. That's very fair though. We'll refer to it as that. Okay. So listeners, listeners who are also learning, there's a difference between polyamory and just open marriage.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Right. And I will say people on the internet are not very nice. I don't know if you knew that. No, they're not. They're not. You know what? And you know what? But don't let them.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Wait, they didn't come find you, did they, from our show? No, no. Oh, okay, good. No, no one has come and found me. We're using an alias for you, aren't we? Yeah. Okay, good. Oh, I thought you were implying for a second that people had found you from our show and were being unkind i didn't like no no you know what how did you mean it how did you like
Starting point is 01:13:49 in a comment section from when the original episode posted i well you need to learn now that you're in the now that you're in the pretend public eye you need to know to never read a comment section about yourself ever yep lesson everybody everybody has an opinion man everybody has an opinion you know what if you're happy easy to pass to to cast judgment too it seems like you know what i mean and if you're happy and and and and and everyone's being honest then it's nobody else's business.

Starting point is 01:14:30 You will never. It's in discussions. You will never experience the nectar of E.N.E. Zach, I love you. It's in discussions. Sorry. Joel's face. Oh, boy.
