Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain. Heartbreak on the plane. The rain's finally over, baby. Thank God. Still cold, though. Listen, I know we need that rain in LA, and I appreciate that we got two days of it,

but fuck that rain. You got a sweater on, too. Everybody's cold out this motherfucker. It's freezing, dude. And I walked into a room that didn't have the heat on, so the heat's coming in, but this room did not have sweater on, too. Everybody's cold out this motherfucker. It's freezing, dude. And I walked into a room that didn't have the heat on. So the heat's coming in, but this room did not have heat on. And I got like two layers on. So I'm going to a sports match on Sunday.

I invited Donald. He said no, but I've been invited to be in the Casa Amigos box at the Rams game. Who's going to be there? Forget the game. Who's going to be there? Forget the game. Who's going to be in the box? How do you not get hammered at the Casa Amigos box at the Rams game? I'm worried already. You don't drink.

That's how you do it. I'm not going to not drink in the Casa Amigos box at the Rams game. If we could rewind this to, I don't know. We need to fast forward to after I've gone and talked about it. A year ago, maybe less than that, and somebody said, Zach, we're going to take you to the Casa Amigos box. You'd be like, nah, I ain't fucking with the Casa Amigos box.

No, first of all, I'm not going to... Obviously, I'm not going to get hammered. I'm just saying I'm obviously going to have some tequila. Tequila. Tequila. To kill you. I'm going to have some tequila, Donald. I invited kill you i'm gonna have some tequila donald i invited you to go and you said you couldn't but you're telling me if you were there you wouldn't

have a sip of tequila i might have to look let me just say this right now i remember back in the day when we would go to the club right we would get to the club. Let's see. You know, what was the one off of Yucca? Joseph's. Line of Joseph's. And we would get into Joseph's and we would walk right to the bar. This would be like right after work. I don't think I drank tequila though. We do shots? We would do the shot and then go, whoo, got to be at work tomorrow.

Dude, there were nights where we'd be like, all right, look, if we're home by one o'clock. We'd be calculating. If we're home by one and our call time's seven, that's a solid five and a half hours sleep. I remember them days. You think I want to live

the rest of my life on yucca? Is that what he says? Yes, Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn. By the way, I spoke to vince fawn randomly when we were shooting the t-mobile spots did i tell you that our t-mobile producer andrew panay is like best friends with vince because he made wedding crashers and stuff and while we're sitting there

talking he put he vince called him and he goes here you say hi and i you know i i just worked with vince and and and hung out with him in Miami. So I was like, hey, man. Zach. It was funny. We had like a quick chat. Just chatting with Vince Vaughn, my new BFF. You guys are best friends, huh? Hey, I did invite Donald and his beautiful wife to a gala on Saturday.

We are going to a black tie gala for an amazing charity called Baby to Baby. It's an amazing charity. They provide children living in poverty with diapers, clothing, and all the basic necessities that every child deserves. And they do a giant diaper bank, and they're a nonprofit. And it's just for taking care of children who are in homeless shelters and domestic violence programs and foster care. You can go to baby2baby, and the 2 is the number 2.org

if you want to learn more. But Donald and I are going, and I'm sure we're going to donate lots of money. While we're there, they're going to get me putting my paddle up to bid on something or something. But we are going to have a blast raising money for this charity, and most importantly, we get to be in tuxedos together. I'm really excited for it.

I think it might really just be you and I that night because Casey's sick. Oh, she's sick? She got the flu bad, dude, like the real flu. Like, all right, so look. She can't get better by Saturday? I don't know. She got Tamiflu inside of her on time, I think. We'll see.

Did she get a dress? She's got a dress. It's beautiful. Okay, because she told me'll see. Did she get a dress? She's got a dress. It's beautiful. Okay, because she told me she was stressed about the dress. I told her to get a dress. She got a dress. I got a tux. I'm trying to look fly and dippity-dip.

I'm going to get my hair cut. Although I got an ingrown that's causing me to have a boil on my cheek right now. I'm just going to put that out there. I need to go to the dermatologist. It's still weird, man, because I've been fucking with it and and sticking needles in it every time you post don't do that every time you post these thirsty pictures of your face um i roll my eyes and laugh but then i go damn look at his skin not right now i got something going on i'm so insecure about it i'm talking about it on the podcast. Listen, I have an audition today, you guys.

For what? I don't audition that much. I know you audience, you're shocked because you're like, Zach, you're more famous than Leo and Brad put together. But when I want something, I whiteboard it and I fucking go after it. Hell yeah. I really want this part. No, it's not Star Wars.

But it's a really good part. And the audition has a one and a half page monologue that I've been memorizing my butt off. Because listen, you actors, from a guy who's more often a director these days, if you're trying to audition and you don't have that stuff memorized and you're looking down at your page, you don't have a shot in hell. You've got to know that shit and be present. Let me ask you a question. And so I'm telling myself that. So I've been memorizing a monologue. Let me ask you a question just as somebody who's doing,

who's now practicing what they preach. Yes. What happens if you have a stumble in that monologue? Does that mean the audition is over? Well, first of all, it used to be back in the day that we would go in, right? So holding onto the sides, that's what we call call the sides is lingo for the scene you're holding. It was kind of like a crutch.

Like worst case scenario, I want to embarrass myself and I can look down, but it's like a crutch. But nowadays it's all self-tapes, meaning you're taping yourself at home like 99% of the time. So just get off book and if you fuck up, do the tape again. You know, don't – and actually, I have to give Florence a shout-out for this because she's a better actress than I am. But she would always say, like, I'm never not fully off book. She goes, I just can't be present. I can't – if there's a part of me that knows I have the crutch there

and I can look down, I'm not present in the scene enough to perform. And I see that – Well, that's coming from an Academy Award-nominated actress. Yes, yes. So I'm going to listen to that. present in the scene enough to perform and and i see that i see that academy award nominated actors so i'm gonna listen to that there's your there's your acting if you listen actors out there if you don't want to take my advice take it from an academy award nominee but i but it's true because when i'm a director i look at it and i see these people come in who are holding their sides and looking down and they can't they cannot compete with the person who's fully memorized and present and just with you and there. There's no competition.

There you go. I find that my best auditions, speaking of auditions, I find that my best auditions are the one where I'm not desperate, and it's hard to be not desperate as an actor because we're holding on to, you know, getting the job. Before you even audition for the job, you've already spent the money in your head. You know what I mean? But you have no control.

I can tell you as a director. The actor, you could literally walk in and be the best actor for the part. But you look too much like somebody else. Or you're too old or you're too young or or or we just cast uh the the the father and you look nothing like him there's so many fucking variables so all you can do is go in there and crush and do your best and not be desperate and not be desperate and be prepared because the guy before you and the guy and the guy or gal after

you guess what they fucking memorized that shit and worked on it for a week with all their friends and you're in there half-assing it holding it down looking parties they had parties yo dude i got this big audition on thursday you guys want to come over and run lines with me drinking wine smoking weed i even got my i even got oh you. When you say this line, I think you need to really fucking think about what you're saying because you know what I mean? They've dissected it. By the way, I'm literally doing that because a pet peeve of mine,

last thing for the acting crowd, I know you can't always get a good reader because that's the person who reads with you off camera. I understand that and I respect that. But just let me tell you, if the person is distractingly bad, it's distracting to watch. So you got to get your actor friend to be off camera, not your grandma, not your – Not your wife, Casey Cobb. Not your – no, Casey can act.

Damn. Not your plumber. It's got to be someone who can at least deliver a line decently. Otherwise, it pulls you out. So I have an actor friend coming who's got to be someone who can at least deliver a line decently. Otherwise it pulls you out. So I have an actor friend coming. Who's going to read with me. So there's your actor friend. He's actually the guy,

one of the directors who just directed me and Vanessa and the French girl. He's not only an actor, but a director and he's, he's awesome. And you're going to love him because he's going to be one of my new friends. Okay. I love that. I love me.

Let's count into the show, Donald Faison, but he's not going to be like your best friend. I'm always going to love him because he's going to be one of my new friends. Okay. I love that. I love me. Let's count into the show. Donald phase on, but he's not going to be like your best friend. I'm always going to be your best friend. I'm not going to make a podcast. I six, seven, eight stories about show.

We made about a bunch of doctors, nurses, and a janitor who loved to hate. I said, he's got stories. Now you all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our

Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. They're running our T-Mobile ads like crazy, dude. All three of them. Yeah. I haven't seen the third one. Have you seen it out? I've only heard about the two Christmas ones. I've seen the two Christmas ones and I have not seen the third one.

Yeah. I don't know. I've seen the third one. You've seen the third one? Yeah. Where Donald gets hit with the, with the workout straps. Did you laugh?

Yeah, of course I laughed. It was so funny. My whole family's texting me like, your guys are all over our TV. I'm like, I know I see them. Donald had injuries, injuries from those, from those TV. I'm like, I know. I see them. Donald had injuries.

Injuries from those straps. I took welts for you, T-Mobile. Oh, my goodness. Well, because there was really no way to do the joke without him actually getting hit in the chest with those things. Look at the sanitation. Take after take, he had to get hit with them. It's like in Creed when Michael B. Jordan took that punch and got knocked out. I took one just like that. Why? Did he really get knocked out? That's true. that punch and got knocked out. I took one just like that.

Why did he really get knocked out? That's true. Yeah, he got knocked out. Apparently he got knocked the fuck out. But I don't know. I love behind the scenes anecdotes like that, Donald. I mean, I'm just saying, do you remember, you know my favorite

Rocky, even though it's some bullshit. What? Rocky III. Oh, yeah, I liked Rocky III with Dolph. No, no, no. Oh, that's four. Sorry. With Mr. T.

Mr. T, yeah. You ain't so bad. You ain't so bad. You ain't nothing. Mr. T didn't really get enough acting opportunities. He got A-Team and then he got Taxi Cab, right? D.C. Cab. D.C. Cab. The A-Team. Yeah, and then just Rocky 3.

And Rocky... And then he had a cereal for a while. The Mr. T cereal. The Mr. T cartoon. Mr. T! Dun-dun-dun-dun! Dun-dun-dun! Dun-dun-dun-dun! I mean, don't get me wrong. What's a higher

honor than having your own cereal? Having your own cartoon? I know, but Mr. T-Head is on cereal. I wish we could have a fake doctor's real friend cereal. Hey, Joelle, can you look into the – I know they're always asking for new merch. Is it possible that we could have fake doctor's real friend cereal? I love this idea. I'm going to call General Mills immediately.

No, but call that merch lady. There's that merch lady who seems to be able to figure out anything. I want Fake Doctor's Real Friends cereal. And they better be marshmallows in that shit, too. No, it should be something. With marshmallows. It should be something. I thought Joelle's writing it down.

With marshmallows. It should be something simple. Oh, man. It should be something simple like Cocoa Krispies and that's it. Like something delicious that everybody's going to want. Well, obviously, they're not going to manufacture from scratch. What we're going to do is take some off-brand and then put our faces on it. But I just want marshmallows in there is all I'm saying.

But the marshmallows turn into like dried chalk. What about our faces? How great would that be if it was our faces? Well, didn't Urkel had urkelos yeah that's these are these are these are monuments in someone's career i don't know that i'm ever going to achieve my own cereal that'd be amazing it would be amazing to have fdf i mean by the way just take alphabets. Here's Joelle. Just get off-brand alphabets and have some intern at iHeart pull out every letter that's not fake.

Fake F-D-R-F. That's fucking hilarious. And it can spell fake doctors, real friends. That's pretty much. Joelle, I just solved it for you. We need off-brand alphabets and an intern. On it. friends. That's pretty much... Joel, I just solved it for you. We need off-brand alphabets and an intern. All right. If you come back with a cereal

company that's willing to do this, I am impressed. And hey, if you're a listener who has an off-brand cereal company, please reach out to Joel. Especially if it's off-brand Alphabet. And you're willing to add marshmallows. Donald, on my identity crisis,

I thought this was a great episode. I laughed a lot. Very funny stuff. Your baby is the cutest baby ever. It's twins. Oh, those twins. That baby gets a lot of screen time, and he or she is... It's a she. She's so beautiful. Izzy is a she.

And the twins are she's in real life, too. She's so pretty, this child, this little baby. So the show starts off with Turk and Carla making out in the bed. Yeah. And then they take it to the next level. And then they take it to the next level. Carla wants to take it to the next level. Turk decides, okay, I know how to get you there. And he ties her up.

Yep. And she's excited about that. Yep. But then JD enters. Yep. And JD is like, hey. Hey, y'all. And she's like, what's JD doing here?

And then Turk's like, he. Hey, y'all. And she's like, what's JD doing here? And I'm like, and then Turk's like, he's here to kill you. And then Carla's like, Elliot won't allow it. But Elliot will allow it because Turk and her have come to an agreement that once Carla is out of the picture, she can raise Izzy. Yeah. While JD and Turk go on an amusement water park tour. Yes. And we realize it's all a nightmare she's having.

And she wakes up and she's most concerned of all those wacky things, not being tied up, not her friends trying to kill her, but that she's dreaming in English and that she's losing her identity and she's not passing her Latina heritage down to her child. Dun, dun, dun. Now listen, I got to tell you something. I don't like water parks as an adult. I find them

disgusting. But I did have an experience and this is a little gross. Did you go to Action Park? If you got kids in the car, skip the next 10 seconds. Was it at Action Park? No, it was a generic water park. And I came down, I landed in the pool, and I was like, woo, yay.

And I looked over, and a woman was having her menses into the pool. Woo! Oh, God. i'm done that would be a wrap on water and i really thought you know what i think i'm good with water parks i i they're great when you're a kid when you when you don't know what you don't know but that many people sharing that limited amount of water, I just don't think it's a good idea. I don't ever want to go to a water park ever again. Have you been with your children? We have, and we got on everything,

and it was so much fun, and now it will never happen again. Well, I'm sure there's so much chlorine that everyone's fine, but I just didn't scar me. You know what I read? Thanks to UberFacts, man. uber facts be putting stuff out there that really fucks up your day when you drink tap water yeah you're drinking water that has been through the system of over seven seven people have drank that water it says up to seven people have drank the water that you

just drank oh i know there's antidepressants in the water because everyone's pissing out their antidepressants i think that's a thing daniel google it there you're no i don't even need to google it you're absolutely right people are detecting more and more antidepressants in the water and the sewer system this is also how they check for covet and they're like you know we found like 300 times more antidepressants. Oh, there you go. Hashtag 2022. I think it's more just that more people are medicated.

But like, yeah, it's a lot. I wonder why more people are medicated. Because there's a lot going on in the universe right now. Oh, that's right. I remember now. There's a lot going on in the world, bro. The world is a vampire. The world is a vampire. all right so i didn't

start the fire oh god it was always burning since the world's been turning okay all right so turk that song means more now than it's ever meant ever all right listen turk you um then we got one and so this is the world we live oh that was a ball oh and these are the hands we're giving oh I'm Phil Collins right Superman where are you now do you remember that video I think it was all puppets yeah with the puppets yeah Daniel you remember that the video for that song with puppets? No, I don't. I'm going to look it up. These guys are way too young, dude. These guys are too young

for Phil Collins? They don't even know what MTV is. They don't know what MTV, they don't even know what TRL is. Calm down. Listen, Kay,

especially TRL. But Joel gets, you know all those memes about how Phil Collins didn't have to go that hard on the Tarzan soundtrack? Yes! Have you seen that meme

where it's like the piano's on fire and it's like executive. All right, Phil, we just need a couple songs about Tarzan and the gorillas. Phil went in on that soundtrack. I still never seen the movie.

Oh, such a good movie. You can skip the movie even and just listen to the soundtrack. I still never seen the movie such a good movie you can skip the movie even and just listen to the soundtrack I used to play the video game that movie will make you cry baby it's very emotional but anyway there's a great Phil Collins video alright stop stop stop listen

no matter what they say that's just fire listen Daniel I need you to honor me. You honor me. And watch the Phil Collins, what's the name of that song with the puppets, Donald? I don't know. I don't know the name of the song. Just look up Phil Collins' puppet music video.

So this is the world we live in. Land of Confusion? Land of Confusion. Yeah. When we were kids and people watched music videos, that was a big hit because he made it all with puppets. I mean, not Phil, his music video director. I don't think Phil made the puppets. Imagine Phil made puppets.

That'd be so cool. All right, listen. Turk, what's this thing where Turk was headed towards? You were headed towards me at 40 miles per hour and with your penis and it felt like I got pistol whipped that's us at a water park oh that's right

JD at the water park when they realized JD the lifeguard didn't space us out evenly enough on the ride and JD this is when we learned that JD doesn't even like water parks why would Carla say that's what you're gonna right but the reason JD doesn't like them is parks. Why would Carla say, that's what you're going to-

Right, but the reason JD doesn't like them is not because of my menses reason. It's because you came down too quickly down the chute. No, because Turk came down the chute too fast. Yes, Turk came down too quickly down the chute. Now, was Turk rock hard on the slide? Is that why it was a rocket or a pistol? No, I think the implication is that your eel is so magnificent and girthsome that it still felt like I was being pistol whipped in the face. Word?

Okay. Is girthsome a word? I don't know, but there's a word. Joelle, is girthsome a word? All right. I don't think so, but I like it. We can make it one. Okay, thank you.

How would you use it in a sentence zach donald's shaft is so girthsome that if it hits you in the head you feel like you're being pissed to whips dictionary and urban dictionary have girthsome all right oh wow it is a word y'all can't deal with all that girthsome you know that picture I posted to the storyboard from the T-Mobile commercial where I'm looking at the pole is it really girthsome? no but it's so funny some guy wrote

long dot dot dot and I was like what's the joke I don't get it and then I looked at the picture again and I guess it could be interpreted that it's your car that you're licking on something very girthsome if you're if you're listening go to my instagram and look for the storyboard frame i pictured and see if you think it looks like um i'm licking donald's girthsome pole all right all right the janitor made his own toys out of toilet paper as a child. Yes. He then digs into J.D. because J.D. thinks he's a man of the people.

And meanwhile, the janitor says, you don't know anyone at this hospital's name. You just know everyone's. You have nicknames for everybody. You don't know anyone's name. Right. And I think this stems from somebody once giving a challenge to Bill. Bill Lawrence. I was going to get to that, yeah. Yeah, I mean, well, we're here.

Let's get into it. All right, so somebody said to Bill, because we had a giant crew, you don't know everyone on the crew's name. And this was after many years. Now, first of all, that's a big ask to know like 200 people's names. If you're the showrunner, showrunner is super busy. He's not always on the set. He's certainly not going to know every driver, every construction person's name.

But Bill said, yes, I do. And the person said, I'll make you a giant bet. And Bill said, at the wrap party, I will do a slideshow and you will bring up every single crew member and I will name every single name. And Bill, because he's the most competitive mofo on earth, did the very technique that's in this show with flashcards and mnemonic devices and learned every single person's name. Wow. They did the slideshow at the wrap party. They did the slideshow and he fucking did it he got everyone but he did exactly what the janitor what jd does mnemonic devices in the episode with like okay you know that person has curls and that because

of that that brings me to the jd does one with like i once saw snoop dogg's skinny legs and skinny legs are are like french fries and ronald mcdonald is french fries snoop dog's skinny legs and skinny legs are are like french fries and Ronald McDonald is french fries Snoop Dogg's real name is Ronald and that's that's how you can do it and that's how Bill did it and he he fucking put a lot of time in here I remember he had flash cards remember Donald yeah I remember he was walking around the hospital getting tested uh daily yeah and the Polaroids and I don't need blood tests, right? They've had Polaroids and a board. Because Bill will not lose a bet.

All you got to do is, Bill is so competitive, there's not a world where he was going to lose that bet. No. I don't even know what the bet was for, how much money it was for, or what it was for. No, I was just, I'm sure he had to do i'm sure no i'm sure there was something on the line he would have had to donate money to somebody or some cause but but there was money on the line i mean we did have scrubs factor where we did really nasty things like eat hot sauce off of

another person's foot yeah and and so maybe they tried to get him that way i don't know i don't remember and then scott uh our ad ate uh pig feet, but he didn't have any problem with it because he loves pig's feet. Yeah. You know, if you grow up in the African-American community, there's one thing that is in or just actually in the hood. There's one thing that's in every bodega or corner store, and that's the jar of pickles and the jar of pickled pig's feet. Well, listen, to someone who didn't have that life experience, watching a man eat pig's feet was pretty gross, but he was savoring it. He was licking his fingers. He ate that thing so fast, and everybody was like, oh, my God, I can't believe it.

And he looked at me and gave me a little wink like, oh, boy. All the white people were like, oh, my God. And you guys looked at each other and were like. These white people don't know nothing. Yeah. You know, that's how it goes. All right. So back to the show.

So the janitor says to J.D. This is Ted. Sorry. This is Ted. And then Ted says, putting my smile away and on with the day and and then so the janitor says to jd look if you can figure out everybody's name by the i don't you said i guess jd said he could figure out the name by the end of the week he said if you could fit or by the end of the day it must have been a few days a few days i think it was by the end of the day but you could be right so if

you could figure out everybody's name i'll do my job and if you can figure out and if you can't do it you have to do my job and he's like and jd's like well how is that a win he goes i just didn't you hear what i said i'll do my job i'm like oh oh and jd's like how long has it been he's been years yeah he's like i was like do you still do you still remember he's like it doesn't even do i say something like that he's like yeah i i can figure it out yeah very funny we do watch the show people um johnny c mcginley's uh story is that jordan is going away for a week and they're both trying to act like they don't care. And he's trying to act like he doesn't need her.

He's not going to miss her. And he's so excited. And everyone, including especially Elliot, is trying to prove that that's bullshit. He's going to miss his wife. He's obsessed and in love with his wife. And it's okay to admit that. And he spends the whole week that she's away i think it's a week um uh well it was supposed to be overnight then it turns into okay well however much time it

was learning you know really realizing that he's he's he is lonesome he is needy he actually is so needy that he ends up helping jd and sitting with jd that's just how lonesome and needy he is. I think every person can relate, especially when your spouse or your loved one or your person leaves you alone. You put up a front at first, but then when you're saying bye at the airport, you're crying like a little baby. I'm telling you that right now. And that's the real deal holy field

like every time i go away for a long period of time for jobs like i went away for a year once right before covid happened and i remember being like this is gonna be the worst thing ever but going up to it i'm thinking oh this is gonna be great i could play video games all day i go to bed when i want this is gonna be the best time of my life i could drink i could freaking smoke weed i could eat whatever the fuck i want i can can just do, you know what I mean? And the day it was time to go, I couldn't stop crying, just looking at my kids and looking at my wife and everything like that. And then while I was gone, I must, I mean, FaceTime has a bill.

My FaceTime bill was through the roof because I know I FaceTimed my wife just for anything. FaceTime, hey, what you doing? Are you at the grocery store? What you getting? Just so I can see. You know what I mean? That's so sweet. I love that story.

It just shows how happily and perfectly matched you are with your person. Well, I mean, and I think that's what Jordan's trying to tell Cox. It's like, look, we're perfect for each other. They really are. Even though they have this bizarre, contentious relationship, they're so perfectly matched for each other. Yeah. I mean, it's a beautiful thing when you find that. Some of y'all don't got that out there.

I'm going to just say, y'all know, some of y'all need to hear this. If it ain't like that, then what are you doing? Zach, I love you. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Don't settle, people.

We started talking about this incident. Drugs and officials cover up. You couldn't believe it. From iHeart Podcasts. It's like the police knew who he was before they got here. A story about money, power, and corruption. The medical school dean at USC was leading a secret double life. Is she breathing right now?

Yes, she's absolutely breathing. I'm a doctor, actually. There's no way that that guy's a doctor. I'm Paul Pringle, and I'm an investigative reporter for the LA Times. This is the story of an investigation that starts in a hotel room in Pasadena, California, and reaches all the way to the top of two of the most powerful institutions in the city of Los Angeles. When people fall in line, they fall in line. Looking back, I realized, oh, everyone knew. This is Fallen Angels, the story of California corruption. We're always

going to have predators. It's the good people who stand by and do nothing that allow them to flourish. Listen to Fallen Angels, a story of California corruption, starting March 28th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. And we're back. We are back. So the hospital does the wave.

Yes, that was very clever. They did a wave through the entire hospital. And JD, who's probably never seen a wave, says, look, I got to tell you, if this is what they do at sporting events, I'm going to start going. Well, because he was in the middle of the wave and then realized, oh, this is so much fun. So he ran all the way downstairs to the end of the wave so he could do it one last time.

Yes. But we skipped something. We skipped the Todd saying. Yeah, but he knew I was going to that. Speaking of healthy bones, I've got one in my pants. Well, Jordan interrupts him. And he goes, oh, excuse me for a second. I've got one in my pants.

You may carry on. And then he runs off. Yeah. By the way, Rob has another very funny moment that's coming up where we do a risky business fantasy. Which is right after that. Yes. So Alone, this is a great meme. I posted it a couple of times.

Yeah, it's so fun. Alone for the weekend. I wonder what it'll do. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. That was so fun to shoot. We laughed so many times. We did it so many times. There were so many different versions of it.

I did not invite the Todd. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Why are you guys wearing such big underwear? Why are you guys wearing such big underwear? By the way, I realized for the first time that he's wearing camouflage, a camouflage banana ham. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Oh, God. It jiggles when he lands, too. Of course, it always bounces. time that he's wearing camouflage of camouflage banana ham. It jiggles when he lands too.

Of course, it always bounces. You can't say it's stuffed because it bounces. If it was stuffed, it would just be solid. It gets its own wave going. It gets a little... It jiggles. It's definitely jiggle. Listen,

good for Rob. Good for you, little. It's definitely jiggle. Listen, good for Rob. Good for you, Rob. That's very funny. Oh, so Carla, Turk catches. Wait, no, but then there's one more joke in it where JD goes, you know, sometimes you just got to say, what the fudge? Yeah. And Elliot goes, that's not how it goes. And he's like, I saw it on a plane.

Oh. That made me laugh. And Elliot goes, that's not how it goes. And he's like, I saw it on a plane. That made me laugh. For those of you that don't know, a classic quote from the movie Risky Business starring a very young Tom Cruise is sometimes you just got to say what the fuck. And Bronson Pinchot. Yeah. And the guy who played- I wonder if that movie holds up. Yeah, that movie. Come on, man.

Tom Cruise don't make movies that don't hold up, man. Yeah, he does. Cocktail? Cocktail holds up. You watch it, you still like that shit, dude. Yeah, he does. Cocktail? Cocktail holds up. You watch it, you still like that shit, dude. I'm telling you right now, you still like that shit. You're saying there's no Tom Cruise movie that doesn't hold up? Come on, dude.

Tom Cruise makes hit movies. He's got a lot of hit. Listen, man. Wait, don't diss Vanilla Sky. That shit holds up. Come on. That shit holds up. Come on.

Now you're getting into my boy Cameron Crowe. You can't diss him. I'm telling you right now, Tom Cruise doesn't make movies that don't hold. Even the controversial ones, they all hold up. You can't sit here and say they don't. Think about it, except for Top Gun. All right. Well, I don't have the IMDb in front of me.

I'm sure I could point it out. Except for Top Gun. Top Gun's one of those movies that you gotta be into that type of shit. Top Gun 2, however, is gonna go on forever and ever and ever. Yeah, he's gonna do 40 more of those. I got a formula. Hold up. I got a formula for everybody, and it works every time.

The Death Star Trench Run. Just do that for every movie. I guarantee you. I'm the one that told you the Top Gun 2. I knew that shit before you. i said that shit when i saw the fucking trailer i said oh it's fucking star wars have we spoken about this joelle on the podcast we did yeah all right sorry audience but if you didn't happen to hear that episode the plot of top gun maverick is the exact plot of star wars we gotta do this trench run

and blow up a little small target four six i thought that's just seven isn't that just star wars so they all do that they do it in episode six they blow up the second death star but this time it's they got to go inside the motherfucker no but i mean it's a top gun is we have to train corridors we've got the plans we have to train to do something impossible that is dive into a tiny trench hit a tiny target and then escape without being shot down that's the entire plot of the movie it's the exact plot of star wars well it's the last it's the last 30 minutes of okay but you know what i'm saying star wars movies yeah i'm sure we're not the first people to point even even rogue one we've got well on all your message boards have I'm sure we're not the first people to point this out. Even Rogue One.

On all your message boards, have people discussed this? We're not the first people to point this out, right? Okay, good. So what you're saying is, what we're advising you young screenwriters is take a very, very famous movie and then just change like 10 elements.

That's all you got to do. It'll make billions every time. Yeah, just make the Godfather, but it's puppets and it takes place on a planet and they're sweet. You want to hear that one? I could do that one. There's this movie with Kevin Costner where he goes and hangs out with Native Americans. And they call him Dances with Wolves. Yeah, love that movie.

Then they made this new movie where Sigourney Weaver and a bunch of other kids go and travel to this planet called Pandora where this young man hangs out with the natives of that planet. They call that movie Avatar. Yeah. I'm just saying, both movies, huge hits. Both movies. Yeah, I'm just saying, both movies, huge hits, both movies.

Yeah, the bigger question is has Cameron changed the font of Avatar or he got a lot of shit for using what's it called? Papyrus. Yeah. Has there been any change? Has he updated off of Papyrus? Are you sure? Are you looking? Is he sticking with Papyrus? I'm 97%

sure, but I'll double check if Avatar Way of Water is any different, but I don't think it is. I'm really impressed that he's holding on to Papyrus. Yeah, what do you know, Donald? I have a feeling that there's going to be something expensive or popular with the water.

Oh, I think he'll make a zillion dollars. Yeah, because there's going to be something in the water that all these motherfuckers is going to come and want to get. Has Jamie Cameron had a bomb? No. No, I don't think so, dude. Every single movie he's made has been incredible. I don't think so, man.

He just doesn't know how to fail, that guy. He makes hit movies, dude. He makes fucking hit movies. He makes... He turns... Didn't he star as a truck driver? He turns mediocre movies into hit movies. Like Alien was a good movie. That shit was scary as

fuck. What are you about to say about Alien? Hold on. Alien was a dope movie, but what is better? Alien or Aliens? Alien. You think the first movie's better than the second movie? I disagree with that. Can one of you Google if I'm right that James Cameron was a truck driver? Like if you want the

ultimate. You just broke my heart. Alien is so boring. The ultimate inspirational. Stop for a second. I'm trying to make a point. if you want the ultimate broke my heart alien is so boring the ultimate inspirational stop for a second i'm trying to make a point if you want an inspirational tale yes this gentleman started as a truck driver correct and now he is a zillionaire successful filmmaker who cannot fucking make a movie that doesn't print money so there's your there's your there's your whiteboard success story of the day i'm just saying i think aliens is better than alien all of y'all who agree with joelle you're on crack too okay and so and so i think it's safe to say that people aliens feelings about movies okay donald that's what i'm talking about all right let's get back to the show scrubs

a tv show that was filmed in the uh arts that's what you call it right the arts did you know it was called the art style i just call it the thousands the two thousands i think you need to switch early two thousand i think you need to switch to. The early 2000s. I think you need to call it the aughts. I think that sounds a little bougie. I don't think saying aughts is bougie. Okay. Okay, let's get into Shirley, guys. We told you, you know this story well. We've spoken about it before.

Bill Lawrence felt bad that he killed off Laverne. And he had so much empathy because she was making a nice living and rolled up in an escalade and he was like oh no she rolled up in the escalade the week that he decided to kill yeah and i remember seeing her before and i knew before anybody knew because he told me and i saw um aloma pull up like me me and a new escalate and i was like oh no she doesn't know laverne's about to meet her fate and then uh and i think bill felt bad because he has a big heart and he was like if we come back i don't think we're coming back but if we come back i'll just i'll just revive her and make her her twin sister surely and that's what he

did and that's what he did again and uh's what he did. And LaBernigan. She's got a nice little haircut. She has a different hair change. I remember she tried to audition a southern accent and Bill was like, yeah, don't do that. Just be the same person. That would have been like, hi everybody. No, she did. She came in It's me, LaBernigan. You know that

Aloma spent the whole weekend figuring out a whole new character. Like, hey y'all. And Bill was like, yeah, don't do that. No, no, character. Like, hey, y'all. And Bill's like, yeah, don't do that. No, no, no, no. I'm not doing that. No, no, no.

Not this time. But JD's trying out a new nickname called Laverne again. And she hates it. She's definitely not in it. I like how you say deep dish pizza with onions and sausage.

Sausage. Why did you say it like that? Because I was trying to make it funny, I guess. Well, it was funny, but I... That's where wussy

comes from. Trying to make it funny. Hey, good people. This is Laia. Now, for years, we have celebrated Women's History Month at QLS

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is killing people. It's a powerful opioid often made illegally and commonly mixed with illicit drugs. It can even be pressed into counterfeit pills that resemble prescription medications. Just two milligrams, about the size of a few grains of sand, can potentially be lethal. This isn't an ad to scare you, but it is an ad to make you think twice. Get the facts.

Yes. Singing the Who Who Are You. Who are you's back. Hold up. Yes. Singing the who, who are you? Who are you? Who, who, who, who? That couldn't have been cheap. I'm glad Bill paid the money for us to have the honor of hearing Ted's band sing the who. Who are you? And it becomes a theme as we learn.

Because it circles back at the end of the episode. Because the episode is an identity crisis. Who are you? Everyone's battling their own change of identity. Carla, in particular, is just worried about her identity and that her identity as a Latina woman is getting lost. In her relationship, which is a scary thing. In her relationship with her marriage and her kids.

But how sweet is it at the end? I'm sorry to jump, but how sweet is it when they reveal that Turk's learning Spanish at night? That is just, that made me clutch my pearls. Yeah, I love that about Turk. And I was going to, I wrote this down. I'll always love Turk and Carla. I think their relationship is like, it's top notch, man. I think their relationship is like, it's top notch, man.

That shit is like, if you want to talk about the perfect relationship, I feel like that's it. Because it doesn't take itself too serious. And that's a great thing. No, you guys are couple goals. Okay, so JD is not invited to help the couples fight. What's that? What did I write? Okay, so Turk and Carla are having an argument. Oh, and I'm trying to help the couples fight. What's that? What did I read? Okay, so Turk and Carla are having an argument. Oh, and I'm trying to help.

They're having a conversation about something, an argument about something, and JD wants in, but they don't go to him for it, and he clears his throat, and Carla's like, JD, get some water. Yeah, they're fighting over the fact

that Turk doesn't know anything about his history right his history right that's what it is which is which i find very odd most black people know something you know what i mean that's that's real deal holyfield man like you know like i know my ancestors came from nigeria i know that shit you know how i know that shit my mom did the freaking work and went to the i used to have to go with my mom to the freaking libraries all the time. And she would get on those little, the wheels and the microfiche, look through old newspaper articles and everything to find our history and

everything like that. So I knew a lot about that stuff. So it was odd that Turk didn't to me. Cause I felt like, well, that might not be the case. You're giving an example you're giving you're giving an example of a mom who put a lot of work into it there's there must be a lot of i feel like that was a lot of young african-american moms in the 80s and in the 70s and then and in the 80s i feel like that was a

lot of them so and i feel like turkey is a product of that anyway my point is i know i come from i know my my ancestors come from West Africa. And then they settled in North Carolina because that's where Faison, North Carolina is. And I got white relatives and black relatives in Faison. That's where the freaking plantation was. That's where the plantation was. Faison, North Carolina. I didn't know that. I didn't know that it was faze on north carolina

all right so i don't know um i can't guess beard uh face his name mouth i guess beard mouth and then everyone turns around and together says it's beard fussy damn it that's good um so a very funny thing is that elliot and jordan we learn are both nervous pooers okay and elliot says that she could turn her on to her sound proofer which means she has a professional sound proofer that's so good that even if someone has their ear to the door you can't hear they can't hear it when you foofy ear to the door you can't hear they can't hear it when you foofy just saying foofy makes it sound even more foofy you know that makes it sound more gross i gotta go foofy but wait foofy is fart i think not poop hey hold on one second guys come say hi babe play the song play the song. Play the song, Daniel. Casey, come down here. I don't know nothing about raising these fools.

So tell me what to do. I don't know nothing about raising these kids. And that's what it is. Oh, you don't look that sick. You still look beautiful. I just threw up. Did y'all hear? Oh, that was you puking?

Oh, yeah, we heard. I'm'm so sorry i'm not giving you the headphones get the fuck out of here i've had to lay in bed and listen to this fucking podcast for the past hour but i can only hear donald's side zach i love you tell her to uh listen you gotta get you gotta get better in time for the gala i know i gotta look good yeah you got a couple days till the gala how much you've been eating i good.

Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, I love you oh i like that the dog is just with her oh i thought she was coughing he's got his donald donald's got his hoodie over his nose so how do you how do you think that's gonna help you from not catching

if you're sleeping in the same bed with her i don't sleep in the same bed what are you crazy oh okay good we ain't slept in the same bed since we had kids don't you like to get your cuddle on? No, my wife don't like to cuddle. Oh. I like to cuddle. Don't get it twisted. That's why I get kicked out of the bed.

Because I'm consistently trying to cuddle with her. She's like, get the fuck out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

No. No. That's funny. If I touch her. If my freaking... If the tip of my toe touches her no no get off me

well what you need to tell her is everybody likes a little ass flay don't even act like you don't it's true Uber Facts said it if you take a big enough dump it's the feeling of an orgasm and that's why sometimes I've never had an orgasm dump that's why poops sometimes feel good

Joelle's covering her face audience with a notepad orgasm and that's why sometimes poops I've never had an orgasm that's why poops sometimes feel good I'm just putting it out there Joelle's covering her face audience with a notepad what whether it be taking a poop whether it be a finger whether it be a tongue whether it you know everybody likes a little ass play it's true

back to the show. Okay. Ted carries around blank folders. We learned this because Cox hits them down and they go all over the place. And he says that he does it to just be left alone. He carries around a stack of blank folders. So he looks like he's working. Yes. And I say to the janitor, hello, dark and whatever.

And he says, handsome. And I say to the janitor, hello, dark and whatever. And he says, handsome? And I go, no. Okay, so JD is learning the names of everybody. Cox, because he's so bored with not being around his wife, decides to help JD. Right. And gives him the method uh is it does it come from the mnemonic device thing come from cox or does jd come up with that do you remember the one that's cox is the one that explains how he remembers oh you're right you're right you're right and

he does it with ted um and so okay that's how jd learns so he so cox is so fucking lonesome and bored he's willing to help and and jd and jd tries that arm yawn talking technique where he puts his arm around him yeah well he's he's he's in a moment because cox is trying to deny to elliot that he misses his wife and uh and so doing so, he's saying, I'm just helping out my buddy here. And in doing so, he's now said something that JD's always wanted to hear, helping out a friend and a colleague. And now JD's going to take advantage of it and start doing things that he's always dreamt of, like most people would do

when in a situation where you have the upper hand. By the way, the hardest I laughed of the whole episode is i go i'm sorry i go i go you have close friends to help you through this and elliot goes jd stop it and i go no you stop it and then i turn to perry and i go i'm sorry you had to see me like that that was very funny i did laugh at that too. And then we get another. And so J.D. does it. He learns everybody's name except for one person. The Jan E. Torr. But we learn that Ronald is Snoop Dogg's name.

And we learn that Coleman Slosky is Colonel Doctor's name. No, it's Colonel Doctor's name. And then we also see that JD has lost the bet, and he has to act like the janitor, or work as a janitor, and he's in very long pants because those are the only size the janitor has. And he's like, this ammonia makes me just so mad and want to hate everyone. And someone walks by, he's like, get out of here. And he's like, and the janitor's like, there you go.

There you go. It felt good. It felt good. And I'm like, that felt here and he's like and the janitor's like there you go now it felt good yeah and i'm like that felt good yeah it's the ammonia we learned basically we learned that the the ammonia is the source of the janitor's spite for everybody yes he hates he hates and then it very cleverly ends with uh carla having the exact same dream in Spanish. By the way, my Spanish was just phenomenal. It was pretty good. You guys rambled through it really fast. I'm sure I practiced a lot. Sounded authentic almost.

I did that because I speak French a bit in this last movie, and I did that. You know, you just go over and over and over and over and over, and then all of a sudden you kind of have it believable sounding. One thing I can remember is I think that's Italian. One of mine was

Please pass me the cauliflower. Pass the ball. You said pass the ball, please. Pass the ball, please. Pass the ball, please. Pass me the ball, s'il vous plaît. That the ball you said pass the ball please pass the ball please pass the ball please pass me the ball s'il vous plaît that's what you said right

if you'll listen I'll tell you say it again choufleur is a cauliflower but say what you just said pass me the ball s'il vous plaît

pass me the ball s'il vous plaît right that's what it sounded like he said right you guys help me out here Daniel help me out

alright we're gonna go to a break. Joelle, do you have two new audio clips for us this week? I do. Oh, Daniel, you're going to love our new segment. I know you heard it when you edited the episode.

All right ahead joel so the first one audience if you remember is going to be a pitch for what we do uh uh when we run out of episodes because we are on 703 and we are running

out fast and um and audience members and you're welcome to participate, are suggesting ideas for what the show should be. Hey, y'all. So happy the show's back. My name is Peter. I'm a fan. I know I probably missed the deadline for this episode, but I have an idea for what you should do for the podcast.

I think you should ping pong back and forth between each of your filmography and do rewatch episodes of your own films and tv shows whether you directed it or acted in it good idea after all it is a rewatch podcast and it'd be really cool if you did like can't hardly wait and maybe had brecken on that episode good idea or zach you could do wish i was here and have like oh my god justin vernon or something would be crazy yeah but just different people from the production and i know that sometimes that means like a two and a half hour movie which is a lot for you guys to re-watch in a week but whatever take three weeks to do to do a movie like that and try to have multiple guests that's a good idea that's my submission we could get denzel

hi joel hi dj daniel be well oh that was so nice what a nice sounding man what's his name that's peter shrupp peter thank you great great idea the whole time all i could think of was Wow. These people are so nice. What a nice sounding man. What's his name? That's Peter Shrup. Peter, thank you. Great idea. The whole time all I could think of was Donald getting Denzel to come on the podcast. That's all I could focus on. Donald, you obviously have been in way more movies than I. But between the ones I've directed and those I've acted in, I think we could at least come up with some good ones.

What do you think about that, Donald? Well, here's the thing. Everybody's going to want to hear about Garden State. That's the problem. So it'll be like, look, I think they've already done like every movie that I've been in in the past. It's been a while, actually. They've already done the reunion shit, right?

Everybody's going to want the reunion. Not every movie you've done. I mean, you could do like, I mean, I like his idea about getting one person. Obviously, I mean, I know Denzel's a long shot, but you could get someone that you're still close with in the movie. And obviously, I could do that for my stuff. That'd be a lot of fun, actually. I think it would be fun. I think it's a very good idea.

I mean, and it would probably be like a longer episode. It'd be hard to of fun actually i think it would be fun i think it's a very good idea i mean and it would be probably be it'd probably be like a longer episode it'd be hard to do it in an hour it might be like an hour and a half episode right but and it would go for more than i think it would be better if we went for more than just one person like it'd be really cool to have natalie and peter sarsgaard uh i think it could be great i mean imagine the clueless one i know you've done them before in other places, but not with our audience. I mean, I just think it could be fun. It'd be really interesting to have Alicia on here and have...

Yeah, we got to get Alicia on here. Please. That'd be really cool. I promise I won't solely ask her about all the Aerosmith videos. I've already done that in person. Are you ready for the next one? Yes, that's a great idea. Thank you so much.

And put it on the whiteboard, Joelle, as an option. I was crying when I met you. Oh, my goodness. Those videos got me at the right time in my evolution as a young man. She came along at the right time in my evolution as a young man she came along at the right time and no but her and live tyler in those videos it was like whatever stage of puberty i was in um or or do you remember maybe i don't know what how old i was but i whatever state as a young man i was in those were those were hitting me at the right spot indeed joelle said indeed videos they are they are um this is a television pitch from one jesse herman all right jesse let's hear it

hey this is jesse in philadelphia hanging out with my cat Aria. And I was thinking about how there's going to be so many good ideas come in, that it'd be great to come up with an idea where you can incorporate as many of the ones you love as possible. So I'm seeing a minseries potentially or a film where you, Zach and Donald, are playing yourselves trying to cast and direct the Scrubs comeback so that a lot of the ideas that you're getting through voice memos, we can be on set seeing you watch other actors act these out but then it also follows the two of you almost like a Curb Your Enthusiasm style offset following around your lives that's funny kind of like bring back that Scrubs flavor get a little metal with it and I'm hoping also get a little weird with it that's very clever

what do you mean by get a little weird with it I think he means we fuck at the end I think so that's what I thought he meant too that's what I thought he meant too dude that's totally what I heard all I heard was in the end it gets weird and you guys

fart. I think that's a great pitch. The grand finale. Listen, you gotta get ratings. It all builds up to a finale where we fart. By the way, softcore. Just caressing. It's all implied.

No, no, no. It's not. It looks like we're doing it but you just. Just caressing. It's all implied. No, no, no, no, no. It's not softcore. No, like Skinamax. Skinamax. Yeah, Skinamax, where it looks like we're doing it, but you just can't see it. Yeah, gay Skinamax. Yeah. All right, listen. In all seriousness, when he was, thank you for the idea. That's funny.

What I was thinking off of your idea to pitch alongside you is that you could do like a Black Mirror anthology kind of series, where it's like it's you and me in every episode, but they're all different. Maybe there's a unifying theme, like Black Mirror's theme was sort of trippy, futuristic Twilight Zone. But our anthology series could have a theme. It's an anthology, so it's always you and me on some adventure,

but it could be totally different each episode. That's fun. That would be amazing. That's the tag and bank idea some adventure, but it could be totally different each episode. That's fun. That'd be amazing. That's my, that's the tag and bank idea I was having where, but it was star Wars. Right. But I'm saying like,

like, all right, one, one episode, if you think of black mirror, just an example, it's like, all right,

one episode it's, it's there in a, they're in a spaceship in, in, you know, and, and they don't realize they're, it's all,

isn't black mirror all different realities or is it? It's all the, the thing they have in common is they're all set in the near future and they don't realize they're, it's all, isn't black mirror all different realities or is it? Yeah, it's all the, the thing they have in common is they're all set in the near future and they all are, are twilight zoning and that they have something really trippy happening. And there's often a big reveal of some kind. That's right.

Am I explaining that right guys? Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. So I'm saying we could have a theme that's overarching, but, but with no rules, I mean, it's like, like right it's like like and then the twilight zone is a better example they were all over the place they were they what they had what they had in common was that they were like trippy and they had a twist but but we could we could have our our our rules

for the anthology could be anything but the only rule is that you and me are in every one that that's kind of i like that i like that too i is that you and me are in every one that that's kind of, I like that. I like that too. I love that. You guys have a lot of competition where you guys are like either parents or sort of like the, when we got last week where you're teachers, but you're competitive with one another. There's like nine pitches where you guys are adversaries.

You know, I really, I really think that that, that is a good way to go where, I mean, cause everybody's seen us as friends. What is it like? What is our timing like when we're apart, though, but in the same, you know what I mean? It still has our same tone and it still has our same jokes, but we're not bouncing off of each other anymore.

Does that make it less or does that make it more? You know what I mean? And then does when the scene come that we're now finally together face to face, does that enhance it more? You know what I mean? Because now we've given them what they want. What I like about the anthology idea is it can be a totally different reality each episode. One episode, we're captains of rival spacecraft in in in some star fleet and we're and we're competing and we hate each other i love it i know that's why i said that for you the next episode we're like you know dad's uh co-soccer coaches of a kid's team you know like

every it can be anything it's just the only thing that's in common is there is some overarching tone and and you and me are in it i mean that, that's kind of clever, right? It's like a sketch show, but, but not in that each episode is its own independent thing. That's kind of cool. Joelle, right? Yeah.

I like it. I like that a lot too. Put an asterisk next to that on the whiteboard, Joelle. We'll do. All right, guys, we love you.

This is so fun. I'm going to go audition for a part. I really want, I'm going to, I'm going to, I for a part I really want. I'm going to- I hope you get it, bro. I have the check. The box on the whiteboard is open, waiting to be checked. Go get it.

I love you guys. Donald, I'll see you in a tux. Carpe diem. Please nurse your wife back to health so that we can have her at the gala for Baby to Baby. Dude, I'm stopping the weed today so that I look fresh-faced and ready to go for you on Saturday, baby. I'm going to look good for you, baby. Go get that perfect wife of yours some soup. She is going to be there, even if I have to carry her.

You know what you should try to do? What's that movie where they carry the dead dude? The Officer and the Gentleman. No, no. That's funnier. He means- Weekend at Bernie's? He means Weekend at Bernie's. That's funnier. He means... Weekend at Bernie's? He means weekend at Bernie's.

Carry a dead dude like we get at Bernie's. Come on, girl. Put some sunglasses on her. You got a weekend at Bernie's, Casey, even if she's puking. It'd be amazing.

By the way, you know you should get her? They have here in LA and they have in other cities as well, but they have a nurse that will come over and give you an IV of fluids. Yeah. She got the fluid.

That ain't going to really do much for her. They'll give her, it'll give her. No, but they'll blast her with vitamins. I've done that before. It's amazing. Okay.

That's a great idea. You, you, you, you just call and schedule an appointment and they come over with an IV bag and, and, and blast you with vitamins and fluids.

Blast you. Blast. Yeah. All right. We love you guys. And that's it. Five, six, seven, eight. We love you. I said he's a story that we all should know.
