So please stop explaining Don't tell me that it hurts By the way, do you guys got to watch this, for some reason landed this in my head The Netflix documentary about Woodstock 99

Oh, I did hear about that, yeah That shit was wild You got to see this, Donald, you can't believe, I had no idea Is that where the mud fights, yeah, the mud fights and that that shit was wild you gotta see this Donald I had no idea is that where the mud fights and all that shit happen there it's not mud it's poo they don't know they're in poo a buddy of mine went to

Woodstock and has pictures of himself in the mud fights and everything like that hey bud I just want you to know you was you was slinging doo doo it's so gross mud fights and everything like that. Hey, bud, I just want you to know, you were slinging doo-doo. It's so gross. It's so gross. But you gotta see this.

It's a three-part documentary, listeners. I highly recommend it. It's shocking and really well done. But it's crazy what happened at that fucking festival. Donald, it's the season six. Well, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone.

Just insanity. They fucking rioted. They started fires. It's incredible. It's the season six finale. And what a finale it is, Zach. I laughed so hard. I wrote so many notes.

But there's a couple of them. I think the biggest laugh, as always, is Rob Macchio. Yes, of course. We have a special visitor coming for the listeners today. Joel, is special present for the listeners here? No. Or Daniel? No.

Okay. We have a very special guest for you listeners because we love you, and we like to give you special treats, especially when it's the season finale of season six. We're going to give you two special treats. We're going to watch the show with you in the next episode. And in this episode, the season six finale, we're bringing in a heavy hitter. We're just going to leave it at that for now.

Yeah. Daniel will let us know when the surprise is here. But how are you, Adeyashun? Just checking in with you. How are things? Rocco had his birthday, I saw. Rocco is now officially nine years old. Nine big ones. It's very interesting because he's taller than nine. He's taller than the average nine-year-old. And so when I look at him, I see such an older kid, but he behaves like a nine-year-old. You know what I mean?

And it's like, and I have to accept that. I'm so proud of him. He's blossoming and growing into this really awesome kid right now, and I'm really excited about that. But what I'm really excited about is that you know as actors when you're you know as actors who have to go across the world and do things and stuff it's rare that you get to stay home and be with your children and these past couple of months this summer i've had the luxury of uh of working in la and it hasn't been like that in a long time. And so it's great.

It's great. So I'm sure they're so glad that you're around and you can be a part, especially since so much is happening with your kids. Yeah. It's really interesting. It's really cool, man. You know,

it's really, my daughter's heavy into dancing and gymnastics and all of that stuff now and Rocco and basketball as well. And Rocco's heavy into basketball and school's about to start up and, you know, life is, life is, it's moving and it's moving at a fast pace. Is it safe to say it's good to be a day issue? I think it's good to be alive for anyone right now. I think everybody needs to just sit back and, you know,

if you could just take a moment and take a mental Polaroid of where you are in life right now and understand that the goal isn't waiting for you at the end of the finish line. The goal is the journey. Enjoy the journey that you're on. I'm enjoying this right now. Yeah, that's well said, man. And I am too. And I appreciate this. As we end season six, we got to always say how much we appreciate you listeners.

This is so fun for us. I was preparing for this show just now, watching the episode, and I'm cracking up. I'm sitting here alone. I'm swiping tears from my eyes, laughing so hard. And I would not be doing that if it weren't for this show. And so I just want to just shout out you listeners who, you know, you give us the reason to do this and so much joy doing the show. And also, of course, revisiting Scrubs and laughing and knowing that I'm going to get to crack up with you three is something I look forward to every week. So thank you.

And on that note, five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made. About a bunch of docs and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said here's a story that you all should know. All right. So we'll wait for a special guest and let's just get into it. J.D. Yo, he is into it, huh? At first, he's not into it he's like i'm gonna save myself for

marriage and then with the all who is it the shift of the wind the the the change of the wind and all of a sudden he had movement and there it is and well he's down a little side boob. It's amazing how powerful a little side boob can be, Donald. You know, side boob can bring down a man's defenses. Let's be honest. There's a lot of things that can bring down a man's defenses. You put meat in front of a dog, he's going to eat it. Let's just keep it 100. She's a beautiful woman.

My wife always told me, you put meat in front of a dog, it's going to eat it. That's just real talk. Well, he's single. He hasn't had, it's implied he hasn't had sex in a long time. Dog. Dog. Dog. A beautiful woman is in his arms.

Dog. She's carrying his baby. Dog. And all of a sudden, there's some side boob swiping. Ow! Yeah, he's no match for Elizabeth Banks' side boob. No, nor is any man, nor is anyone, nor is any person. Here's what I've never heard.

She says that the baby was moving quite a bit during the intercourse and that he, quote, enjoyed it. Now, I've never heard that expressed. Donald, you're a man with many kids. Just when you're in late stage of pregnancy, does the baby move around a lot? Is that a thing? Well, yeah, naturally it does but you know i imagine when things enter environments word word i've honestly never heard this i was watching. Sometimes it could be scary. Are you thinking the baby's moving?

He's like, get the fuck out of here. Whoa, what is, how are you, what you doing up in here? What is this? I never, get out of my space. Right, this is my shit. This is my room. I've honestly never heard of this. Get out of my room.

I've never heard it discussed. I've heard people make jokes about like, oh, we can't have sex. I have a heard it discussed. I've heard people make jokes about like, oh, we can't have sex. I have a baby. But I've never heard of like the actual biology if the baby reacts during intercourse until this episode of Scrubs. I mean, can't semen like cause labor also? Like, I don't know man do you know no they do they do encourage like if you know you're very pregnant and your due date's right around the corner and you're like i want this baby out of me they're like sex can help oh i don't know how that works but sex spicy semen he just said

the semen i would think it's the movement yes i think i think it's all of it i think it's all of it i think it's all of the lubrication. Can you Google whether semen can induce labor? Because I don't think that's true as a fake doctor. Listen, as a fake doctor, it can be true. Hold on. As a fake doctor, anything can be true. I can say whatever the fuck I want.

I'm a fake doctor. I've never stood up here and said this. I'm a real doctor. You should take what I say as fact. I'm a fake doctor. I've never stood up here and said this. I'm a real doctor. You should take what I say as fact. I'm a fake doctor. I'm going to make up as much as I can. I'm just saying that

if a very pregnant woman is listening, I don't want her being like, oh, let me go get some seaming because I'm ready to give birth. Sperm banks would be off the chain right now. Get it out. Just doing shots okay everyone settle in for this so for example donald fazan was right just

let's just start with that let's just start all right sexual activity especially having an orgasm can release oxytocin, which may help jumpstart uterine contractions. Also, for pregnant people who have sex with men, there are prostaglandin hormones and semen that might help ripen the cervix. Oh, Donald, you ripen the cervix. I only know this because I did a movie called Home Delivery that involved some ripening the cervix. Some ripening the cervix. And so I know this. It's coming soon, y'all. So when you get the chance, go check out home delivery. Wow. Oh, wow, Donald.

I would have never guessed you were right about that. But everyone, it's about intercourse. Don't do shots of semen. No, no, no, no, no. Don't drink it. Oh, my God. Even Daniel's saying, oh, my God, in that one. All right.

So we got lots to talk about. So then we see a montage that three weeks go by, and they're feeling each other. They're building the crib. They're doing all the stereotypic couple about to have a baby things. And we learn that Elliot's wedding is in one week. And so things are really building up the janitor didn't get his invite because she hold up before we go before we go forward i thought this was really interesting how uh jd and elliot are sharing the a storyline and the b storyline is janitor the janitor and the brain trust uh how often does that happen i'm we i don't

think we've paid attention necessarily to that while making the show but you know i just found that very interesting that the two of them shared like the his storyline jd storyline with kim and elliot storyline with keith were all a part of the same. They're sort of mirroring each other. They're all kind of the same storyline. And then the B storyline is the brain trust and the janitor. All right, Donald, special guest is here. Daniel, timpani, please.

Some really juicy timpani. Some season six finale timpani. I can't believe we did it. I can't believe we did it. And let's special guest him. Yay! There he is. How upsetting.

No! Make more noise. More noise. I feel like there was a concerted effort to not get me to join my podcast today. What are you talking about? We're so happy you're on.

This whole season six, Bill, we've been talking about how we said, oh, we should do an Ask Bill, and then we're always like, no, he's way too busy. We can't even ask to an Ask Bill. Yeah, just so you guys know, it's good to see you all again. I had a weird moment this morning because this is the first time I drove onto the set

and that security guard didn't say, I love your podcast. We have to tell the audience, if you haven't been keeping track, Bill has been doing something I never really knew someone could possibly do. And that is show running two big ass shows simultaneously on different coasts, one in Miami and one in la uh bill how the hell are you you've just finished do you want to get in the fetal position what's happening in your head man i'm okay i miss i miss you guys it makes me really happy to be look i like my job a lot i'm never going to do that again it was a giant mistake but uh uh i want to stay i want to stay on this though because i was really i didn't get to prepare because Daniel even knows I was going to send him something.

I've been working on some new characters. I'll tell you what I need a new character. I don't want an interrupting guy anymore. You know what the problem was? I kept trying to obsess about a funnier way to do interrupting guy and interrupting Bill, and I haven't been able to beat. People still talk to me on social media about when interrupting bill interrupted me interrupting you guys it was like uh it was like that it was like inception i got a new one i'm gonna ruin it so it can't be one but i think we should come up

with a new character for me today would be helpful for me my new new one was, and I wanted to do, I'm not finished talking about this guy. So here's my idea. My idea was to talk about something, Donald, and I'd have to talk to you about it before, that is going to annoy Zach. Can we finish, can we be done talking about this? And then I was going to say, yeah, all right, I'm done talking about this. But when I say that, that would be Daniel's cue to hit a button. I'm not done talking about this. My favorite part of this is Bill in post on two giant shows,

and instead he's sitting there brainstorming on a new character for the podcast. I'm not done talking about this guy. Is it bad? No, that's great. I love this character. It just takes work. You have to prepare. Well, you know, in my head,

I have to find a great topic that Donald and I can riff on that will eventually annoy Zach, and then Zach can go, oh, my God, please stop talking about this. And then maybe Donald and I would work it that will eventually annoy Zach and then Zach can go, oh my God, please stop talking about this. And then maybe Donald and I would work it out and say, all right, we're done. And that's when my prompt of the guy that's not done talking about this would make a fast point. I think we could do that, Donald, and if we're careful,

Zach will never see it coming, even with this one. Yeah, I'll see it coming if it's about a basketball player, I might see it coming. You won't see it coming regardless of what it is. I don't think you'll see it coming. Alright, Bill, I have questions. This is the season six finale.

It's the last episode on NBC, I believe. I think so. No, no, season seven was the last episode on NBC because they juggled the order of it. It was a shortened season seven and they made the Princess Bride homage the finale, even though it was not the finale. I see. Now, is there something is there some reason on Scrubs Wiki?

It says this is the last one that Touchstone that has the Touchstone TV logo on it. Is this one like ABC changed their name or something? Uh, could it be? I don't know. You know, it's weird. I was,

uh, I just tell you what it says and it might mean nothing, but it says, this is the last episode to use the 2004 touchstone television logo since the season four premiere. That's just something unscrubs with you. Maybe you don't know what the hell that's about. I do.

It's because touchstone used to be their studio and then they just all became Disney. You know what I mean? Got it. Got it. Oh, they changed to Disney. Remember, there used to be Touchstone pictures too and it became obsolete. I missed Touchstone and there was one other one. Wasn't there another

Disney movie? It was Touchstone and something else. Touchstone was Disney's kind of of cool you know that can't buy me love and all of those yeah uh and it went away yeah i don't think you're allowed in these times to have a company name that starts with touch bill did you um i know we were always kind of going year by year was there any thought in your mind that this could be the last season of the last episode of the show? No,

I knew this one wasn't the last day they were doing the show right then. And remember, we probably would have stayed on. It's good trivia for next year. If it weren't for the writer's strike, we would probably would have stayed on NBC even longer. That just kind of confused things. Right.

And that happened this season seventh seventh season oh the next one then seventh season is shortened and the one thing that still is one of my top five scrubs internet traffic about when the writer's strike hit we had a bunch of episodes in the can but not one that could conceivably be nbc's series finale so they juggled it and they made the princess bride episode which was really cool yeah the season finale and hinted it could be the series finale but if it was the series finale it made no sense and it made me very mad I know I'm frustrated about that too because I directed it and you and I and the whole crew and cast put so much love into that and then I feel

like it was sort of judged harshly because people were judging it as the series finale. It was very weird. We never meant it. I mean, you know, I think people would have loved it and digested it differently if they thought, oh, this is just a super out of the box episode of Scrubs as opposed to we're ending the series on this. They did what was their right and they flipped the order. So Ken Jenkins character Kelso had even already left the hospital. And then for some reason in the season finale, he's back working there again. It was very weird.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Back to this one. Back to this one. I was just going to just put that into comparison with everything that's shifting at Warner Brothers. I mean, that's just how it goes, man. The business is the business. And I know fans get pissed off

about stuff like that, but there's nothing that we as creatives can do about that. You know what I mean? Yeah, well, there is. Is there? Okay. Yes, there is. Bill's going to release Batgirl. God.

What if I just start? What if I go, there is. I just hit a to release Batgirl. God. What if I just start? What if I go, there is. I just hit a button and Batgirl starts. I'd watch the whole thing right now. I wouldn't mind. If you guys had to watch the whole thing right now. If you guys had to watch the whole thing right now. He's broken Batgirl into many Insta stories.

Yeah. And you can watch it. By the way, I'm making more time for social media now maybe if i start acting it out the uh no so look here's the the and people like to say that things are changing they aren't changing it's just more of the same and what i mean by that is uh uh the one truth is that the businesses and powers that be in Hollywood will always do understandably. I'll be careful what's right for them.

Till the end of time, the story of Batgirl, there's a thousand stories like that of expensive pilots and shows and movies shelved and redone. That's what Donald said. I, when I was saying it's never been done before no i know what i meant was with a 90 million dollar feature i don't think

that's been done before but donald's last week was saying well yeah but think about pilots it's maybe not this much money but it's a fuckload of money uh think about the amount of movies and tv shows that were completely reshot yeah to make it by the way one of the most famous things don't game of thrones they made the game of thrones pilot yeah yeah and by the way also zach if you add up we're saying this is a new thing how is this that much different than all the super expensive i could have added up tv pilots that were made, invested in, shot, and then never allowed to be shown to anybody. I personally have made, I'm just counting them, a cool $75 million worth of pilots that were never seen by a single person that exists. Yeah, yeah.

That's exactly what Donald was saying last week. I get it. And the opposite side of this, I will tell you that a cool thing for content creators is that there is still a leverage shift once you do something that everybody digs. And the second you do something that everybody digs, the leverage shift goes from the studio and company paying for it to the creators making it and it and the people in it but that's the fact that that hasn't changed yet is great so even in the netflix model where they say um oh netflix are going to do three years and be gone right um stranger fiction you know is a stranger it's still on because there's a leverage shift on that show you know because it it the creators and people that make it so in demand, you know, that they get to keep doing whatever the heck they want to keep

doing, you know? And so. Stranger things. Did you say stranger things? Yeah. It's a strange depiction by, because I was thinking about a weird movie, stranger things there, you know, did not do two seasons and go out like other Netflix shows. Do you know what I mean?

It's going to do five seasons. It looks like. Yeah. And do you know what i mean it's it's gonna do five seasons it looks like yeah and like look even um uh ted lasso is a great example because when it was pitched it was definitely pitched as a two or three uh season show and everybody was fine with that and now it is without a doubt 100 jason sudeikis is prerogative how long that show goes on you know i mean there's always you want to give us any do you want to give us any any any 100% Jason Sudeikis' prerogative how long that show goes on. You know what I mean? Do you want to give us any... If you were to tell us, Bill, we would get so many listens. We would get a lot of publicity. Maybe we can

say something. We need clickbait for our podcast. It can be. You know why? Even if I knew, I wouldn't. But I don't know because it is so firmly Mr. Sudeikis's call. It's up to Jason. And I think that's the cool beauty of this show is he'll know and he'll let people know when it's time to let them know. You know, yeah, that was one of the things I was doing. Zach was in it, Donald, and he was very, very good.

in it donald and uh he was uh very very good uh uh and i i won't do any spoilers because he had to do drama and violence and uh uh be a drug addict and uh he absolutely crushed it and i had thank you man i had not seen our friend zach act in a while and it made me think i got to see uh my friend donald act in in one of these things too man it's been too long i agree 100 i agree you know what i agree 100 but i will say this zach is leveled up in his acting he was good but he's leveled up a bit by the way yeah i will say this i love how bill out of all these years, Bill came to me almost surprised. Like, you're really good in that episode. I used to get pegged on this all the time. The ultimate in thought, which is I use the word actually. You were actually really good in that.

But I will say this. I got a good topic for this. And then you can go back to the show because it takes it back to all of us. You guys can use this or not say this. I got a good topic for this. And then you can go back to the show because it's back, takes it back to all of us. You guys can use this or not use this. So since we did that thing in Texas, I'm always inundated with people asking if we're going to reboot scrubs. And I always, you know,

cause we said, yeah, we'll do it sometime and we will do it sometime. Right. Because it'll be fun and we love each other. And that picture of all of us at dinner and gives me joy whenever I see it. um but none of us are you know none of us are like going like oh we have to make it happen tomorrow we'll just do it sometime but don't you think the three of us idiots should uh work together before that and figure out a way to all work together you had me

in hello all right i was about to say you you you had me when you said don't you think you had me when you said duh it could be about a uh by the way it could be about an upstart podcast that i run no i try to podcast but this one's better but this one would be good but this will be good as a cool savvy producer named joelle and i got just the woman who can play joelle but i know man you know it goes with my dad we're good oh we love we love you man and we we we're dying to do something with you uh i never i i was literally swiping tears from laughter watching this episode bill and and and it's how many years ago and it

just makes me laugh so hard uh and so our our obviously it goes without saying we'd love to do anything with you well let's that was one of my other characters is steal your idea guy. So if you want to bring guests in and say what it would be funny to see Zach and Donald do together. Oh, that's a good runner for season seven, Joel. I'll gladly steal it, yes. Instead of, this is great. All right.

That's a great runner. I just need a legal disclaimer. If anything close to your idea, if you make the mistake saying what your idea is and anything close to your idea shows up, that's not my problem. No, you came on the show.

You came on the show. They're going to have to sign something like if we actually make a show out of it, they get like a check. They get a t-shirt. They get a t-shirt. No, but how fun would it be for season seven is instead of fix your life

and instead of random questions, it's just pitch your idea for the Zach and Donald Bill Lawrence show. How many times do you think we'd be werewolves? You know, Dr. Acula would be Dr. Acula would be. We'd have to make a rule that you can't pitch Dr.

Acula. Right. Okay. All right. Anyway, let's get you can't pitch Dr. Acula. Right. Okay. All right. Anyway, let's get back to the scrubs. It can't be related to scrubs because then it's owned by somebody else. All right. Let's talk about scrubs.

All right. So this is official. So the new, instead of Fix Your Life, the new segment at the end of the show is Pitch Your Idea. What does that guy do next? Yeah. What does that guy do with Bill? Send us a voice memo to scrubs iheart at gmail.com

there you go and there you go and it will this is why this is why this podcast belongs to bill guys joelle has time to figure out the document that people need to sign from when we actually make the show i'd say say, by the way, Zach, you've been around it before. If anybody makes a mistake of talking about an idea in front of me, I generally say I own 20%. Well, we know from doing the show with you that you'd be like, what did you guys do this weekend? And we'd tell you, and like a week later, it was in the show.

Hey, we're a little stuck in the writer's room. What did you guys do this weekend? Hey, we're a little stuck in the writer's room. What did you guys do this weekend? We tried to get into a club, and I was wearing a giant clock around my neck, and the bouncer wouldn't let us in. That did not happen. There's no way.

Yeah, but with Zach, you can almost believe it happened. Yeah, right. Dude. All right, so, Bill, I don't know if you had a chance to watch the episode or not, but we'll remind you of things. I didn't watch it, but I read the wiki thing and I remember it very well and I have some good trivia about it. All right. Before we do that, we're going to take a break. We'll be right back after.

This season, teens will share all about growing up in political battleground states. I wish I could feel more comfortable in my own body here, but that's just not the case. And follow along as they discover what queer and trans liberation means to them.

This isn't running away from yourself. It's running into who you want to grow into. Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows. We're back, you guys. Guys, we're back. Now we're back. We're back you guys now we're back we're back thanks bill please don't the audience doesn't want to hear unnecessary commercials i got another character so listen when um when cox when, um, when Cox killed, kicks everybody out of the, uh,

the lobby. Yep. Um, Bill, I believe you're one of the people that's running out of the gift shop and stealing from the gift shop. Yeah. Yeah.

It takes something. But first of all, I didn't understand for, I didn't see your cameo, but I saw on scrubs wiki that it says you're one of the people, but then I didn't know, understand why Cox screams everyone out of the lobby everyone out of here and and and and then people really they they loot the the gift shop i just want you to know that aside from my

embarrassing cameos which i intended which is the priest and then the janitor at the end yeah every other cameo i had on this show happened because you were shooting a scene on the first floor and I was on the way to the kitchen to steal popsicles. Yeah. Or the type of a muffin. Yeah. If I walked by to the kitchen and they were doing something that I could put myself in, I would stop and put myself in it out of sheer boredom.

In my scrubs world, you all, the janitor and the, and the, and the minister in Bahamas are the same guy. Yeah, that makes sense. They're probably.

By the way, my favorite cameo I put myself in was there was an episode with other Pete, the B team had the voiceover. It was Krista and the Todd and Sam Lloyd all had voiceovers in one episode. And Krista, we're in the coffee place. I was going to get a coffee. And she says the reason that she was such a horrible person

is that her parents were very mean to her. And you can actually hear me in the background but apparently her parents were very mean. Oh yeah, we did that one. We did that episode. And by the way, nobody even knew I was going to going to say it's off mic because i just walked in there and said that i was very it was probably my proudest camera whatever we do together is going to have to have a component that i'm allowed to walk in and say something when i feel like okay those of you those of you prepared to pitch your ideas uh write in uh random appearances of

bill i love that all your random appearances have to do with you going to the kitchen to get a snack i'm in the show whenever i was really hungry yeah um i remember the jamba juice phase do you remember the jamba juice phase where you came to set every morning with the jamba juice that was like three years in a row yeah and then we put we put that whole thing in the show because I was weird about which one I liked, and I think we had you saying that I can't remember what it was. Orange Goo Goo. Orange Goo Goo.

Which is not a smoothie flavor, but true. No. So, Bill, I don't know if you remember this, but after you loot the gift shop, because Cox has screamed at everyone to go, a plant stands up and runs out. An animated plant walks out of the lobby. One of the top five worst things we've ever done.

Yeah. And by the way, it was so stoner random. Ask me if the animation's very good. Is the animation good, Bill? No, it's horrible. It's really bad. At this day and age, Donald could have done the stop motion and it would have looked really fucking awesome. By the way, Donald's stop motion is getting good.

I'm working on it. He leveled up. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Yo, why is Colonel Doctor never invited to anything? Oh, my God. There's a really – we just had an episode where Sarah really disses Colonel Doctor in terms of her wedding invites. And in this episode, Jordan disses Colonel Doctor to be invited to the baptism.

The poor guy gets a lot of hate in the hospital. By the way, you know that you remember who Colonel Doctor's son is. It's Lloyd. Yes. Mike Swartz. A meth addicted bad. You guys remember what Colonel Doctor's

real name is? Coleman Slosky. Coleman Slosky. You're talking to two guys who just watched most of the Scrubs series. It's Cole Slot and Lloyd Slosky. And Lloyd Slosky.

Lloyd Slosky. Mike Schwartz has a few laughs in this episode because he's, to remind you, the janitor. He's replaced Doug, I believe. Yeah. Johnny Castle's very funny on the outskirts watching, you know, watching from the outside in. Let's just remind the audience of a few plot points here. So the janitor in this episode has been invited to Sarah's wedding, Elliot's wedding, and he's so

shocked. In fact, she hugs him, and I don't think we've ever seen or do ever see the janitor, or maybe other than Lady, we don't ever see him hug anybody else. He hugs Carla, but not really hugging. He hugs her and picks her up and shakes her back and forth.

Thank you for being in the picture. Okay. That's right. That's right. That's right. But he gets a hug from Blonde Doctor, who we know he has a special place in his heart. And Blonde. And so then he assembles the brain trust to figure out what he can get her as a wedding present.

Then he assembles the brain trust to figure out how, what he can get her as a wedding present. And he's decided to kick Doug out of the brain trust and replaced Doug with Lloyd. Yes. Lloyd Slosky. Yeah. Yes. He never,

he never thought Doug was offering that much to the brain trust. You know what I mean? In fact, the brain trust we learned to have special pagers and he asked Doug to return the special pager. Do you know who my favorite brain test member was that we had trouble getting back? Because I don't even know if she was acting or doing other things. Crazy Eye Margo.

Crazy Eye Margo, yeah. Crazy Eyes Margo did disappear. Well, they all did. So did Troy. Troy's gone. Troy's gone. Troy was, by the way, the brain trust was always evolving, and it always gave me great joy to see it every time.

I think Taron was in the brain trust for a second. We haven't gotten to Taron yet. I can't wait for this to happen. He must be season seven. Season seven. Here we go. Either season seven or eight, one or the other. So there's a joke about how couples can finish each other's sentences, and we think it's going to be Carla and Turk, but then it's me and Donald.

JD and Donald. I mean. And I tell you that I hit it good, rowdy style. You got to look out because it's dangerous. Ain't nothing happening to that baby. Yeah. That's talking about having intercourse with a very pregnant woman um donald's an expert in in in knowing uh wow how to how to be careful wow

six kids was dr cox's um kids confirmation in this? The baptism. Baptism. Baptism. Was that like in the sun? Did we do – because I think – and then do we still – was that with Cheryl Hines or was that a different one? That's a different one. The other one, yeah. This is with little JD.

Oh, little JD. This is with – yeah. Jordan is really fucking with Cox in this episode, and she's made J.D. the godfather. Jennifer Dillon, you're the godfather. Yeah, she's made me the godfather. And Cox will do anything he can to change this. He's just promising, and he's trying to negotiate with Jordan. He's trying to negotiate with J.D.

If I remember correctly, you just said, can she be named Jennifer Dillon? And she said, sure, why not? I think so. Is that what happened? That is what happened. That's because he didn't show up for something and you were there. I think he missed the birth. Right.

And Jordan is just taking such glee in pissing Perry off. And the baby's big already. Wow. It's only been two episodes. His baby's not big. The baby's big already. Wow. It's only been two episodes. The baby's not big. The baby's in the stroller sitting up. Have you guys ever talked about this on TV?

You got two choices. Either the baby's big or like I also don't like covering a one-year-old baby with fake viscous stuff when it's born. I don't know. But you have to do that because you obviously can't use a newborn. You have to use a young baby

and they put this like jelly on it to make it look, you can't use the fake baby. The fake baby looks so bad. It's terrifying. You know what I can't believe we didn't do on a show that had fantasies is the fact that we never did

a baby being born and the fantasy of it having either Donald's or your face, Zach, and just being one of you already on a baby. Did we, did we have the, was the special effects level? I mean, we had a plan. We saw the plan. We had a plan to look out this one, right?

Oh, I used to remember floating head doctor is just Zach going around like this. With a green screen suit on. Yeah. It was fun to shoot floating head doctor because I would just put the green screen suit on and just zach going around like this with a green screen suit on yeah it was fun to shoot floating head doctor because i would just put the green screen suit on and just bop around didn't you wear that on conan that was when i when i had done oz the great and powerful um and uh i was talking about being the the you know the little uh bellhop monkey sidekick i i we did a whole bit about how i conan asked how he did it and i said you know they the little bellhop monkey sidekick. We did a whole bit about how I,

Conan asked how he did it. And I said, you know, they had a puppet and everything, but most of the time it was better for the other actors because they just acted on me, acted off of me. So I just wore like a green screen suit and like ducked down. And then we did a whole bit where I- The green screen suit was very revealing. You had to grab your-

It was very snug. I remember being snug. Well, I remember the photos that are online are you covering up your junk with your hands? I remember being snug and very cold, apparently. I remember I made a joke to him because I was nervous. I was self-conscious about being in the onesie. And I said, I'm going to cover it because I don't want the audience to see my moose knuckle and he had never heard that term so he started cracking up at moose knuckle. Proud moments, proud moments for your youth. It was really funny

there's a really funny gif of or maybe it's a video I don't know but of me like air humping in the green screen suit on Conan. And Andy Richter and Conan's faces are so funny. They're both like, they both like look away. It's really funny. All right, so gift ideas. Ted's gift idea for Blonde Doctor's Wedding is that he got his mom, quote,

the weird birth control thing that they sew under your arm skin. Oh, Ted. That's funny because he got it for his mom. Yeah, and his mom loves it, apparently. Yeah, apparently it's a great gift. Happy birthday.

Lloyd suggests robbing someone's home and bringing all of the house's contents as the wedding gift. Okay. I wrote this down, and I hope I'm not skipping too far. I hope I'm not skipping ahead. You're not my mom, Jim. You're not my mom.

Is that okay? You're skipping ahead. Okay. All right. Next. All right. Let's break it. All right. That's fine. I just wanted to say that real quickly that the urologist that Kelso hates and is fine rehiring Kim because he hates this urologist, on Scrubs Wiki says is Mike Henry, who was the voice of Cleveland Brown. Yep.

He was friends with Neil and Garrett from Family Guy. Oh, God. There you go. I didn't know that, but that was. And he at the time was there and was very popular because he had done, you can still find this on the internet. I don't know if you guys remember it. He started, it would have been huge now before things really like had TikTok and funny virals.

He invented the fake TV show called you've been kicked in the nuts. Yeah. I remember that you just got kicked in the nuts. And the whole thing was he, Mike Henry in a, in a wig or it would run up and kick people in the nuts and they would chase him to try and beat him up. And, uh,

uh, he would interrupt him with ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, you just been kicked in the nuts. And you would point, and then the guy or girl who got kicked in the nuts. And he would point towards the camera. And then the guy or girl who got kicked in the nuts would be so happy that they were on the TV show.

I never see that. By the way, go online later and just do you've been kicked in the nuts. I think Neil does a couple of them, too. Neil's like, hey. A bunch of us did them. They were hugely popular amongst comedy writers back in the day. You just got kicked in the nuts. I should give a shout out to Neil Goldman because he's one of Bill's main writers on one of his new shows.

And I got to spend a lot of time with him. The new show Shrinking, yeah. Sorry, I should say he's show running. The new show Shrinking. And I just got to spend a lot of time with him when i was directing and he's so funny and such a good dude yeah so funny so uh you guys remember him from years and he he he was uh one of the people that stayed i think almost the whole way i mean they left before season nine but they stayed through eight years he's also he's also he's also one of the writers i mean a few of the writers have done

this but he's also one of the writers that's had major success after where he's gone on to show run and create his own shows on other networks and stuff. Well, the original staff of that show, almost everybody created their own show or ran another great show or won Emmys for something else. The original staff of that show is all rock stars. I just did one of Gabby's

shows. Oh, did you do the animated one? Yeah, House Pets. Very funny, man. Very funny. A lot of fun, yeah. Neil, I said, we've got to have you on the podcast. And he goes, what podcast?

Yeah, right. Yeah, right. No, he was doing every time for his name that's just how he rolls yeah he literally listens to see if his name ever gets mentioned he's gonna be delighted that he got a shout out in this one all right jd approaches the new uh nurses stand and says hey raj rerun probably the most mentioned sitcom in the entire run of no pun intended. You guys know, it's what's happening. Neck and neck with Sanford and son. Right. But what's happening does get a lot of shout outs,

including a cameo from, from rerun. Yeah. RIP man. He was awesome that day, by the way, you guys watch that. So many crew members snuck into that big dancing fantasy.

Yeah, man. Yeah. It's amazing. Everybody was in there. Spiller, who's that big dancing fantasy. Oh, man. Yeah. It's amazing. Everybody was in there. Especially Spiller. Spiller, who is an avid listener, one of our favorite directors, Michael Spiller, is in there.

I think he was obviously directing that episode. He's got the outfit on. If he wasn't directing that episode, it's a new level of intrusion. Just that day. I heard Rerun Perry's in there. Rerun Perry's here. I got rerun Perry's in here. I'm good. I got to get in the picture. Hey, what's happening?

Raj was probably neck and neck with Sanford and son. You forget, like even in Donald's brain fantasy with Carla and Heather Graham and Sarah all in there. And we're inside Donald's brain. The background music is the Sanford and Son theme song. That was my favorite. It really was my favorite show. Which one? What's Happening or Sanford and Son?

What's Happening. It was my favorite show as a kid. It was great. I'm going to tell mama yeah i'll tell mom on you these kids today will never know the genius of what's happening so carla asked elliot did you do that thing that all guys want us to do what is this thing now wait before i think it's meant to be i can remember no i can remember somebody's finished the setup you finished there's writers from talk about this. I assume it's meant to be just left up for interpretation for everyone's mind.

I actually threesome gets discounted because you see later that it's not a threesome. But she says, did you do that thing all guys want us to do, but we swore we'd never do? Well, she says that because Keith's acting like a freaking like whatever she wants him to do, he's doing we'd never do well she says that because keith's acting keith's acting like a freaking like whatever she wants him to do he's doing it and he's doing it happily to us carla says no i'm saving that bullet for a diamond tennis bracelet now later on in the episode carla is proudly wearing a diamond tennis bracelet in the bed so now bill am i correct that you wanted the audience to just insert whatever thing that they...

Yes, one of my favorite things about sex-related comedy, and this is not the most famous version of this. I have been asked so many times what Jake, character played by Josh

Randall, whispered to Elliot before she died. And we needed Elliot Reid to break up with this character, Jake, who was on the show, Ed. Josh Randall, he's a funny actor. And we couldn't think of why. So she, and Matthew, you remember back in that episode, she said, we finally came up with, she should say, you should be able to tell me what your fantasies are and what you would really like us to do together.

And then we cut to, he leans forward to whisper and we cut outside. She's walking out going, we're done. Oh my God. Oh my God, Jake. I remember that. Oh my God. And that's when we decided that anytime that we're stuck like that, it's better to say like everybody knows what it is and then just let the audience decide. And then you can judge when you meet people how disturbed they are. Right.

But also it allows you to not say anything too naughty on NBC, I guess. It gets you around. No, because your imagination automatically does it on your own. Imagination's bad, man. It gets you around. No, because your imagination automatically does it on your own. Imagination's bad, man. I will say this. You guys have said it before. All I know is that Carly got her tennis bracelet. You guys have said it before and I don't know if I'm proud or

not proud, but I feel for network television that Scrubs is top five filthiest shows ever. It is. Oh, dude, it's up there. I can't believe it when people are telling me they're watching this with their kids because I'm watching it now at 47

and I'm being like, oh my God, I would never watch this with my kid. I tell my daughters and I tell my daughter and my son to leave the room. Yeah. Put it on. You guys got to get out of here. I think Matt Tarsus told me he was all proud

that his like 13 year old was watching the show at the time and then he was like oh it's kind of proud he's kind of circling back and watching one of my shows and then he walked in the room and like walked right back out because it was so uncomfortable it's rough well i you know at the you know to remind the audience that at the time there was no streaming there was there wasn't the half hour comedy was was all as i as i remember solely on network tv and you were trying to see how far you could push it well yeah not just for being filthy for filthy's sake but remember i would say the number one show was will and grace they pushed it they pushed it real far i mean we did we did have bulge jiggle in this episode but will and grace did push it oh yeah we got and i i believe oh it's not the final bulge because this bill let's just get to it

because we'll come we'll circle back to this stuff because remember one of the rules of this show that i said earlier we had beautiful women female actresses on this show and very handsome men and such a strong, diverse writing staff that we said, if we're going to enter the world of sex and sex comedy

and we're going to show girls in underwear doing sexy things, it had to be equal opportunity representation in the filthiness and in the revealingness. So there's just as much...

By the way, Todd in Banana Hammocks exists. That's what I was just talking about. I know. It exists because we can't just go, oh, Sarah, you got to be in a bra and underwear in this without going Donald. You have to be just naked with a sock.

I was in a sock too. I was naked. All I know is there was a bit of jiggle with the bulge. Well, let's talk about the bulge. We'll come back to it. We were jumping ahead, but we'll come back. So the janitor gets everyone together in the break room, the brain trust. And his scenario, they're trying to kidnap Keith,

and they're trying to run him through, trying to make sure he's going to be a good husband, uh, to, to Elliot. Now, the first thing is he says an example. He,

he, he gives an example. How are you going to be if she loses the ability to, to use vowels? Neil gives an example of her talking without vowels. He goes, oh, yeah? He goes, wait, first it goes, you be the janitor. I'll be Keith, all right?

You ready? Go. Yeah. You got to do the first part where he goes. I forgot what he's going to do. How are you going to do when he wakes? How are you going to behave if she loses the ability to use vowels? That's ridiculous.

And then he goes, oh yeah? He goes, I find that to be a very poor answer for when somebody wakes up and they say ick. I can't even do this shit, dude. He does this stuff. It's just made up by Neil, but it's like I can't do it because I'm saying

ick and stuff like that, but he was able to... Oh, it's Neil being hilarious. Neil is great, man. Neil being amazing. That's the first thing. And then the janitor comes up with a rehearsal scenario. And the janitor sets up the scenario where Keith has brought

home his gay ultimate frisbee teammate Lance. That's a scenario where Keith has brought home his gay ultimate Frisbee teammate Lance. Played by Todd. By Todd. And Rob goes, I should probably take my pants off. And the janitor goes, wait for your cue. Wait for your cue. Wait for your cue.

goes wait for your cue wait for your cue and then rob sits down next to to keith to keith and he stands up and he pulls off like velcro pulls off the fucking his pants and he's wearing a sparkled red mega bulgy sparkled red banana ham. Yeah. Yes, of course he is. And there's definitely jiggle. There's definitely jiggle. There's no way you get away with that. A real jiggle or not real jiggle, but there's definitely jiggle. No, I think it's real.

I think he's well-endowed. Bill, I have to tell you, I thought this was the i thought this was the season we moved to abc after and i was like this is definitely why they said no more banana because this was a lot of shingle todd's banana hammock was never visible on abc he always had to be shot from the waist up yeah yeah and by the way this is also because i mean i'm sure people figured it out by now but the writers had long ago decided that Todd was, we didn't even say bisexual. We said at one time, I think we said metrosexual, that he will have sex with anything. Anything.

But I don't know if that's the right. What is the right, Joel? If you're open to everything, Joel, you're fluid, right? That's the right way to say it? You could say fluid. You might say poly for the kind of person who has multiple actual relationships with people.

Yes. Young and old. Age. He doesn't care about age. He doesn't care about anything. Todd respects hot regardless of age or gender. He said that on the show. I want to say the funniest, the hardest I laughed was when after the. Yeah. Wait, I want to say the funniest, the hardest I laughed

was when after the banana hammocks revealed, you cut to Lloyd and he winces. He literally goes like this. I think that was a real Mike Schwartz reaction and not a character reaction.

It was so funny. You guys know Rob's the type of guy that would do it for his off-camera as well. Oh, yeah, absolutely. No problem. He's such a giving actor that he would reveal the banana hammock for off-camera.

Doug suggests, let's circle back. Doug suggests a tour in the wine country for his gift. And then Ted says, we can't control what kind of husband he's going to be and then janitor puts on sunglasses and says or can we who has the sunglasses on their

head somebody has a sunglasses on their head probably Lloyd let me borrow your sunglasses real quick just so he can do that and then he says repeat it and so Sam repeats it exactly the same. He almost does it exactly the same. He's late on the cue with his,

with his hand, but he realizes he's late to yo Sam Lloyd, dude. Genius. So genius, dude. Genius, man.

Sam was having fun this episode. was like he was he was he was extra playing he was funny anyway he repeats the line the janitor does it with the sunglasses uh we see jd writing in his unicorn journal you have jordan calling me nancy no chin which i found hurtful even this many years later buddy buddy you have a chin right now you have more of a chin than i do right now your chin looks good i don't have that i i you know i i don't have that much of a chin it's a shame when you turn sideways you're right you don't but straight on thank you zach you and i can't be low angle guys. We have egg shaped. I once had a, I once had a critic write about me, the weak chinned braff.

Oh God. What a dick. It was so hard. It made me so sad. But then here I am. And my best friends having a character call me Nancy No Chin. Nancy No Chin. That was it.

That was it. That was about JD, the character, not about Zach. Oh, okay. Thank you. What's that story? I know, I know you meant it.

Rich. I have Yabba. They'll call. They'll call eventually. That was a horrible play. But it was as good as anybody could be in it. That's Richard's for you guys.

Richard Kind complimented Sarah Chalk. He saw her play, and I won't say which one. And he's so honest that Sarah said, what'd you think? And he goes, oh, that was a horrible play. Just horrible. But you were as good as anyone could be in it.

We're going to have Richard back on the show. As good as anyone could be in it. Bill's first AD on the Harrison Ford show is a friend of Bill's and also one of Richard Kine's best friends. And I sent Richard a picture of he and I, a selfie that I took with Ben, is his name, and I sent it to Richard, and I said, we're on the Harrison Ford show, and Richard writes back,

Harrison looks great. Solid. He's funny. Yeah, he is. I wanted him to play my father in this movie I'm doing, and it couldn't work out the dates, but I was almost going to do it, and I've read the entire movie with the dad being his voice. Oh, it should have been him.

And now no one can ever live up to that voice being my father. Uh, I just got, uh, a, a random, um, message from somebody,

uh, else that you should have on the show. Uh, I won't read it, but I was trying to find it. Uh, cause he was on this. Have you had Alan Ruck on yet?

No, we don't have Alan Ruck. Yeah. He's what do you do? Yeah. He's crushing on succession by the way. Yeah's so good that show's awesome and such a really good all right so let's just keep going jd says he's gonna go uh write in his journal um i'm so tired i could use a nap tism because he's trying to rhyme baptism and then he goes i should and he goes i'm going to use that and he goes

i should write down pause for laughs so i don't forget to because he's so sure that the baptism joke's gonna crush yeah that was almost lifted i'll tell you guys a funny joke that was almost lifted from an episode of friends and someone else wrote. It's not me. It was so funny, but it was Matt LeBlanc's character who was a bad actor. Do you guys remember this as actors? You'd love this.

They had him, they had him doing an audition and he had to do bad at it. Do you know what I mean? And so he's got his script like this and he actually goes, uh, that wasn't me. And I don't care what you say. Long pause.

So now we're at what Don... Hey guys, guys, guys, we gotta go to a quick commercial. Quick commercial. No, no, no, no, no. If you've been following the news, you know that from healthcare access to safe schools, LGBTQ plus rights are under attack.

need to go to a bar all right so uh circling back this is when sam yells now i read on scrubs wiki that this guy who plays the other lawyer is was a famous tv lawyer uh advertising lawyer in fact at the time of the airing i assume this is how you found him bill he was the largest tv lawyer advertiser guy. And so the woman is asked to pick between him and Sam to be her, her lawyer. And I'm saying you did a cameo with, I guess a guy who was a famous advertising TV lawyer and, and the woman is trying to choose between him and, and,

and Sam said, and, uh, Ted brags, my mom calls me thunder right and then she chooses the other guy and the other guy goes tough break thunder and he's not my mom jim you're not my mom i got a cool thing about this episode that you might think is back towards the end. Are we close to the end? Yes, we're now going to talk about JD and Elliot in bed together.

I don't know how they got in bed together. They were in separate bunks talking about how they both felt trapped. And now all of a sudden we cut back and there's been some missing dialogue because now they're in a single bed together cuddling. Well, no. Are my eyes going bad, though? Was that fog? Was it like out of focus, like foggy? I think there was a filter on it to make it look romantic or something.

There's a filter. Here's what was more interesting. There's two things that are fascinating about this. One is, remember, I fought forever that this show would in any way, shape, or form be about Will,iot and uh jd end up together and the rest of the writers well you lost the battle with yourself bill well the rest of the writers were like it's inevitable remember i tried to blow it up the first year and all that stuff and so we we in the in that's the break room we'd established a thousand times and we're like these

two are both fucking up here so why can't they both end up just shooting the shit and talking like it's innocuous. And then I had to tell, I told Krista, she had to find a perfect song that built to a huge, huge, huge crescendo. Cause I said,

if we're going to do it, we're going to fuck with the fans and have it seem like they're on the verge of hooking up furious and then just go to that song was perfect um it's alive with the glory of love yeah here's the thing if you listen to the song it's about a love story in the concentration camps uh so it's this what's so interesting about music um look up the words right now and you'll see alive with the gourd, but it was perfect because it is about longing and whether or not you can be together. And Krista played it for me. And I'm like, Oh,

I don't know because of the words, if we can use this, we edited some of that part out. And I thought it was perfect because it just kept, and then it goes black. I thought it was perfect cause it just kept, and then it goes black. I thought it was awesome. Yeah, that was a good, it was, it was well done and it definitely builds up. And I was like, Oh, are they going to kiss? They're going to kiss.

They're going to kiss. And then you hard cut to black. And it's like, that's a, that's a good way to end the season. Yeah. And while we see your two significant others being, um, alone. I know we're horrible people. Yeah. You guys got a little bit of, of, of horrible in you you guys got a little bit of horrible in you.

You got a little bit of horrible in you. I mean, the audience is rooting for it, obviously, but let's not forget. The audience got a little bit of horrible in them too, though. Let's just be honest now. Because if you're rooting for this, knowing what's at stake on the other side. Of course, but that's not how you appreciate something the audience is going i i'm so invested in these two i love them they're both about i audience member think they're both about to make big uh mistakes both of them and they should be together you know

it's all it's all it's all bill's and his team's great writing that makes the audience so invested in them and wants them to be together well can i just tell you guys the thing about the music because i brought up the lyrics i think it's interesting because sometimes songs match perfectly for lyrically for a show or a moment but sometimes it's about an emotional feeling you get yeah alive with the glory of love if you listen to it again it says the opening verse when i watch you want to do you right where you're standing which is a great start but it says right in the foyer on watch you want to do you right where you're standing, which is a great start. But it says right in the foyer on this dark day in plain view of the whole ghetto, the bootstomped meadows. And then the refrain is I won't let them take you, won't let them take you.

Hello. So it's literally about a couple in love in a concentration camp. But the feeling for our show is a great song. And the feeling for our show was so right we did it anyways and i it's really interesting because i always expected to get bumped back from that from people going oh my god what are the lyrics but i just thought the song was amazing you might you might you know if you did it today in the era of everyone opining on on everything but uh back in in the day people you cut if you cut the lyrics craftily knowing whatever

we did but i might have advice go listen to that song alive with the glory of love by say anything it's really good by say anything say anything yes like the genius movie hey everybody that is season six um i want to thank our very special guest the creator of of the universe of scrubs mr bill lawrence but before. But before we go, we have to cut to one quick commercial, you guys. No, no, no. And we're back! See the audience?

The audience isn't going to like the extra break joke that long. Well, they're going to have to deal with it this episode. By the way, Zach, are you done with the extra break joke yes I'm very done with the extra break joke I so wish I had recorded me going

oh man this is why I'm not done with it this is why I'm not done with it so everybody just to remind you you will be a little break and joelle when does um 701 which we did uh at a drive-in is gonna air when joelle september 13th september 13th and then we are going to uh be on break um until october i believe right joelle that is correct and i will say now no matter what in October, I will debut my new character.

Zach will not know who it is. Dan, Donald, and I will talk about it beforehand and we'll see if Zach can see it coming. He will forget about it. Also, get your pitches ready, guys. Get your pitches ready for the next project that the three of us are going to do together.

That might be, after Scrubs is done, that might be your next podcast, the making of Bill Donald's Zach show. Yeah. That's a great idea. Hey, we're really looking for what, when we're done with Scrubs, what the show's going to be. How great it would be if a podcast about the behind-the-scenes making

of the new Zach and Donald TV show with Bill Lawrence. Wow. I like that. I like that a lot. I'm in. I mean, we should probably do Spin City first, but I like that too. I like it. Wow. That's a podcast. I like that a lot. I'm in. You should probably do Spin City first, but I like that too. I like it. Okay.

Let's throw Spin City on. I like the idea of Spin City. There's black people in Spin City. I like that. By the way, the only really, really white show I did

was Cougar Town. Was that really white? Ian Gomez was black, but everybody else was cul-de-sac in rural Florida. All right. On that note, we are going to end season six. Thank you, Joelle. Thank you, Daniel.
