but there's very much a form to it. You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes. So it's kind of like giving someone a topic and say, okay, talk about this. Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And I'm recording too. Good, I'm happy you recall. Oh, now you're going to show off with a run because you know I can't do that you can do it just do a scale I can do it just do a scale

there you go there you go thunderous applause thunderous what's up fellas I missed y'all There you go. There you go. Thunderous applause. Thunderous. What's up, fellas? I missed y'all. Missed you too.

Where's Joelle? She's hanging out with the new girl? No, she is. She's right here. It's been a little late. Oh, I thought you weren't going to be here because of the new girl. When you said a bit late, I thought you meant like, you know, more than a minute. I thought you meant like, you know, more than a minute. I thought you might be with Zooey Deschanel on a shopping trip or something.

Oh, yes. How magical would that be? I would love to go shopping in this climate right now, in this recession. Now's the time. Get yours, y'all. It's $200 for shoelaces. How's everybody's holiday? Mine was horrible.

No, what happened? Tell them what happened. Tell them what happened. Y'all, see, I'm so upset about it. It's making me sound Southern, y'all. Oh, no, what happened? This is your upset voice? Yeah, it was like the episode we're going to talk about when the janitor has a different voice.

Well, I'll make a very long story short. I was going to have 20 p family here and um monday of the week i got that feeling that achy feeling and i had 20 people here we had like i had like rental chairs and tables coming because i can't accommodate 20 people it was all set up so excited my parents were going to cook people are flying in from everywhere monday i started getting the aches oh buddy you know the aches no and then i took a home covid test a home pcr covid test and it tested positive and i was so then i had two more right both were negative and i'm i'm frantically googling like wait i

thought this was a you know it's a fancy home test. Like the best there is. It says it's like 98% accurate. So I start texting real JD, right? The guy who told you about that my character is based on Bill's best friend from college. So I'm texting him. I'm like, I'm sending him pictures of all the tests. I go, what does this mean? He goes, if you have symptoms and it's positive, you're positive, dude. Just, you just got to let it go. But he's not getting back to me right away. Cause I like ask him all these questions I'm like I'm thinking oh maybe he's like in surgery you know he's like a very fancy cardiac surgeon yeah and then finally he

reveals to me he's at the Clippers game with Bill oh come on man so anyway then I but I still don't trust it right so anyway long story short I get, I get a pro test the next day. Comes back positive for flu, negative for COVID. And just so you know this, my assistant asked the tester doctor, and he said, it's possible if you have flu to get a false positive on a COVID test, which is what happened to me. Anyway, it didn't matter because I still had the fucking flu. You still got sick. And we had to't matter because I still had the fucking flu.

You still got sick. And we had to relocate the party to my mom's house. People started canceling left and right. They ended up with about 10 people at my mom's house, but I spent a week alone on the couch. Did someone bring you a plate at least? I'm so sorry. Yes, a plate was brought to me with a mask on, and my friends and family were very lovely to me.

But I definitely, did I feel sorry for myself? Is that the question? Yes, I did. You know, we joke about sickness right now, but COVID is on the uprise again. Everything is. The flu and COVID and RSV, is that what it's called? RSV.

It's so upsetting, and it's so everywhere again, and I don't know what to say about it other than then it's like a roll the dice when you go outside if you're gonna get if you're gonna get one of these things yeah i mean you gotta live your life though right like yeah you do you do you gotta live your life i'm just saying that that uh everybody i when i told this story to friends they were like oh same thing happened to my Thanksgiving. Everyone got COVID.

We didn't have it. Or like this happened. And someone was in the hospital with RSV because her oxygen went down below 90 or something. Oxygen. Sheesh. Blood oxygen level. Yeah.

Sheesh. There's a lot going on in the world, guys. We don't really need to discuss all no we don't need to go down the rabbit hole i'm just telling everyone we're about to go make you a funny comedy podcast for an hour i'm just telling you oof there's a lot going on in the world yeah this shit is fucked up right now 100 dude holy shit i guess the best thing to do is have a podcast where we laugh, but fucking hell. Yeah, man. And on that note, five, six, seven, eight.

Stories about a show we made About a bunch of doctors and nurses And a janitor who loved to hate I said here's a story that we all should know So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.

Mm-hmm. Holy cow, dude. Yo, this episode, it's not my favorite episode. I don't remember a lot of the episode. Me neither. And I don't know

if I agree necessarily with the message of this episode, but to a certain point, Elliot's outcome in the end, I was like, I don't know about that, man. All right, well, we'll get there. We'll get there. I mean, it delves into a very, very topical medical conversation, which is euthanasia and the ability of a human being, the right of a human being to, if they're terminal, say, well, I guess the conversation goes beyond that,

but in the case of this episode, if someone is terminal, whether they have the right to choose their own end and when they end their lives. I mean, I think it was a very good topic for Scrubs to take on. I agree with you 100%. You know, it's a very good topic for scrubs to take on. I agree with you 100%. You know, it's a very tough one to take on, too, because what do you do in that situation? Are you going to be tombed inside of your body for the rest of your life until you die? Or are you going to say, you know what?

I'm going to take control of this situation and end it now. Now, there's only a few states, I believe, that allow euthanasia. Can one of you guys look that up? I know that I think Washington- Didn't Kevorkian go to jail for this and all of that stuff? That was before a few states, I believe, made it legal. I think you have to be terminal, and I think you have to choose it, be conscious to choose it, if I'm not mistaken.

Was this, let me ask you a question, was this before all of that was this before kawariki oh of course well this i believe that joelle can and daniel can tell us but i believe these these were passed these laws were passed long after scrubs but i think wash i think washington is one of the states washington yeah we have Oregon, Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Washington State, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, California, and Vermont as of June 2021. That's way more than I thought. Yeah, you said a couple. That's like. It's way more than I thought. I think Washington State was the first.

I remember hearing about it. And, Joelle, are the conditions such that you must be terminal and you must be conscious to choose it? It's a legal document, so it didn't mean to. it. Say legal documents that have been used. Here's our girls. Yeesh. Yeah, the source of this links to a bunch of very long documents.

I was about to say, it has to be somebody saying, look, I want this to happen and it has to be... There's no way because then somebody could say, look, they said to me that they wanted it done and so I did it. No, there's no way because then somebody could say, look, they said to me that they wanted it done. And so I did it. No, no, no, no, no.

That's why I remember, I remember looking it up and you have to prove that you're terminal. And I think you have to say, I choose this. You can't be unconscious. So this is very broad for all the States. It's basically just a descriptor in some States. You can be unconscious. And then a guardian can make someone you've a legal appointed guardian but you would have had to put that in a living will yes 100 that's something to think

about by the way everybody who's listening um sorry to go be serious for a second but i i did um deal with this in my own life with my with, what would you want if you're unconscious? It's something you should put in a living will, because I certainly would not want to be entombed like this woman with ALS. I agree with her decision. In my personal point of view, it's what I would want. But if she's unconscious, she can no longer choose it. point of view it's what i would want but if she's unconscious she can no longer choose it but i guess it's somebody has to make that decision for you can put it in your living will um so that your loved ones know what you chose right rules are not very expensive there's a lot of uh websites online where you can make one pretty quickly and it just it's helpful

for your family members should the worst happen that at least they understand that they have your... What you want to do is laid out for them. Right. And update that shit, too. Update that shit. That's the real deal. I just did mine. Donald, you didn't get anything.

I'm going to love you so much that you're going to update that shit before you die. How about that? You tell me if there's anything in mind you want. I'm going to love you so much you're going to be like, you know what, I feel bad that I didn't leave him anything. I don't think there's anything of mine you want. I'm going to love you so much you're going to be like, you know what, I feel bad that I didn't leave him anything. I don't think there's anything of mine you'd really want,

but I don't have a PS5. The money! Oh my God. I don't have a PS5. I know you'd probably want that. Oh, that would be awesome. I do want a PS5. That is on my Santa list.

All right, so look, this might not make it. I want to ask you, sorry to jump around, but on Scrubs Wiki, did you know that Neil does the voice in a game called Ratchet and Clank games? Really? That's cool. I didn't know that.

What voice does he do in Clank? That's cool. So this is in the trivia that the janitor's smitten voice, you know he does this sort of southern voice, is the same voice Neil Flynn uses for the water worker character in the Ratchet and Clank games. That's amazing.

I didn't block that. What are Ratchet and Clank games? It's a video game. It's kind of like Mario Brothers, or it's like a puzzle. It's like a game where you jump around and you, stuff like that. A platformer, if you will.

Yeah. What's a platformer? Just, you know, like Donald said, a jumping around game. Oh, you jump from areas like Mario Brothers. Sure. It's an adventure game. Ratchet is like a, you know, like a rat-ish character. And Clank is his little companion that sits on his back.

It's a robot. That's like a backpack. Oh, you know, I love a robot. All right. Well, there you go, everyone. If you didn't know that, Neil Flynn is the voice of the water catcher, and he uses that voice. Thought that was a good piece of Scrubs Wiki.

All right, let's get into the show. This is episode 706. Yes, and Will McKenzie directed it. He is one of our favorite directors of the show and most famously directed the epic musical episode. Very talented man. And his style of directing is pretty amazing because it's always like, Donald's coming in.

He's happy. He can't wait to see Carla and action. Yeah. He would do this funny quirk where he would sort of sum up. I mean, it's a good technique for reminding the actors where you're, you know, what just happened. He'd be like, yeah, here comes Donald. He's very happy he's uh just had sex with carla and action he would do a little quick summary to remind you your attitude coming into the scene

anyway uh he took on that musical episode which is which we all love and it's so well done and it was uh you know i think will Will has musical theater and theater experience, so he was the perfect man for the job. And he loves tennis. I remember that. That's like a fun fact for all of you out there. I remember him. Will is an older man.

I hope he's still with us. Joel, you could look that up. His son was one of my daughter and son's Little League, not coach, but he helped organize the Little League over here in Sherman Oaks when they played baseball. So I used to hear about him all the time.

I believe he's still alive. He was a senior fellow when he was directing it, so I hope he's still with us. But he played tennis, and that's when it was like, I need to take up tennis now, could if he can play at his age you know what i mean that's one of those things where it's like i need to figure out a way to you know that was will is one of the first people that i met where i was like i need to really figure out what i want to do because this dude's very active at a at a you know at a later part in

his life i want to be active like that. Harrison Ford, they showed pictures of Harrison Ford in this freaking Indiana Jones shit he got coming out. My dude is running and shit. Part of me is like, get the fuck out of here man. Indiana Jones can still run, he's like 90. Harrison Ford is doing that shit! Speaking of Harrison, did you see the little teaser they released for Shrinking on the interwebs? I did. It's very cute.

Looks good. Will McKenzie is 84 years young. 84. Thank God. That's good news. I love Will McKenzie. Donald, they released that little teaser, I think January 27th audience. Is that correct, Joel? Is the

release date for Shrinking. And it's really good. I'm going to sit with Bill actually tomorrow because he's finally gotten around to doing his showrunner boss pass of my episode that I directed. I'm going to hang out with him.

But anyway, it's very exciting. It's a very funny show. Did you see him last night? I saw him for dinner last night dinner last night yeah you were invited but you couldn't find a sitter we could not get and i was with sarah chalk who shockingly had like 10 you're not going to believe the stories one involved one involved the funniest one involves her she comes she's chasing her dog and she comes around a band she told the story she told the story already. She told the story on a talk too. She told us the story face to face with a skunk. She said she was like a foot from its anus and it

blasted her and it got in her mouth. She said it got in her eyes. Oh my god. She says that she's having like trouble with her eyes now because of the skunk juice that's got in her eyes. The skunk juice is terrible.

Oh, no. That is horrible. But by the way, that's just like a normal Sarah dinner conversation. For real. Did I not tell you about the skunk? So the skunk was in my mouth, and the skunk juice got in my eyes. I was eating dinner in the woods with my family. And she instantly switches to out of breath.

Like, it's like, she doesn't ramp up into being out of breath. I don't know. You'd be like, how you doing, Sarah? Oh, I'm so good.

Life is pretty good right now. But did I tell you? Oh my God. There was a couple of years and then I saw a danis. And then the second I saw a danis, I was sprayed in the mouth. Oh my gosh. All right. So the janitor is smitten with lady he's got a girlfriend he's in love yes and and and he has a smitten voice also

yes carla hears the smitten voice and is like why are you talking like that he's like there's my smitten voice right and which prompts prompts Carla to think, wait a second. How does this dude have a girlfriend? Because he's so weird. This dude is the craziest person on the planet. Yes. Easily the craziest person in the hospital. Right.

He has theories that just don't make any type of sense. How did he convince this person to date him? Yes, Carla. She must be just like, so she's like, she must be just like him. Carla does a little research. Lady's normal. Right. Carla can't figure it out.

We know that Carla's a gossip and loves to get it up in everybody's business. She can't find anyone that wants to gossip with her about this. So she finds Kelso, who is. Who is on his way out. He's like, he's- Kelso's won the muffin contest. Yeah, he's passed his prime in the hospital. He's like a couple of, like a year from retirement at this point.

If you all recall, Kelso just turned, what was it? 65. 65, and at 65- He's being edged out. He's got edged out he's gotta get he's gotta get he's gotta get out and um and and so we learn that he he's finishing the last harry potter book and um anyone that tells him the ending he's gonna draw harry potter glasses on which he does to doug and carla says listen i know you're not gonna draw glasses on me let be honest. We know that shit's not going down.

So I know whether Harry lived or died. So you might want to get on my train with me of investigating whether the janitor is lying to this woman or what the hell's going on here. And he agrees. And so that's one of the main storylines. The other main storyline is that Turk and Cox are timing each other. They're competing. JD learns that Turk and Cox have this whole competition guy, you know, stereotypic guy

competition thing, where they're always timing each other and seeing who can beat one another over lots of things. This in particular example is seeing how long they can stay in a room with a patient who has a fungal infection. They're calling it smelly belly. No, that's what JD called it, smelly belly.

And the funniest part was that JD can't last a split second. A second. He walks in and walks right out. Right. And so we set up the idea of constant competition. And we know that JD has never really won anything. And we see a flashback in which a group of jocks and throw him in his mullet.

Yeah, so this is where it gets a little... So we're to believe, as an audience. Yes. First of all, we finally get the origin story let's just what do you mean the origin story this is jd's this is the moment where jd was like a doctor that's oh right i forgot that he says that and no because he's thrown you think they're it's funny because when you first see the shot, it looks like the football players are cheering him like Rudy. Yeah, like he just won the football game. Yeah, and my mullet's flopping up and down, and I'm so happy.

And then they throw me, and we learn that it's a nerd toss. Yes. Oh, my God. I love that. And I say, guys, I think they're nerd. And I won, and I'm excited because they threw me further. And you say, suck it, bitch, to the nerd. And I look at the other nerd.

And I go, guys, I think their nerd is unconscious. We should probably roll them over. Yes. And that's when Donald's right. JD says that that's when he decided to become a doctor. That's when I decided to become a doctor. That's when I decided to become a doctor. That's crazy. That's funny, though.

It took seven seasons, but we finally got the origin story. I think their nerd is unconscious. Okay, we're going to go to a break and come back, and you're not going to believe what we're going to talk about, including White Lotus Season 2. All right, we'll be right back. Wait, are we going to talk about White Lotus season two? Yes, we are. That's all Casey's watching is White Lotus season two. You're not going to watch it,

His breakout role was in Fruitvale Station, playing Oscar Grant, which earned him widespread praise and numerous award nominations.

But I watched season one. I watched season one, so I am interested in season two. Well, the listeners listening who are watching wish that we could go down a rabbit hole. This season is so good. I'm so happy that we cannot go down this rabbit hole.

I text with Casey about it because she's the only person that I can chat with about it. She is deep in it and loves it. Zach, I love you. Yeah, we text about it. You know, I'm going to be honest with you man you guys text a lot uh well not like not like a concerning amount no no well it is concerning when i look at my text messages and there's 80 texts well by the way by the way when he says we text a lot saying anything by the way when he says we text a lot mind you 99 of it is on a group chat with me him and casey and and and and and we when

And it's so good. Wait, so is this, I thought this was the one with Cannavale and Regina Hall.

No, no, no, no. That's not White Lotus? No, that's a different show. But Jennifer Coolidge is in that one too, right? I think she might be. Yeah, she might be. Jennifer Coolidge is having quite a moment and I'm happy for her. She's so funny. rips but anyway the only yeah the only um the only it's about a it's about you know

season two is about a different it's like the white lotus hotel is a very you know fancy resort hotel the first season took place at one hotel and in season two you follow jennifer cool just character she goes to a different one and another story what's so important about the White Lotus Hotel um it's just a fan you know think of it like Ritz-Carlton it's like a very expensive luxury you guys are watching the love boat I just want you to know that it's written by Mike White he's a he's a national treasure he's a genius writer and uh I really highly recommend it to people it's's a little bit of a slow burn. You've got to have patience. What?

How's Aubrey Plaza in season two? Aubrey Plaza is one of the stars. Casey loves Aubrey Plaza. Aubrey Plaza is so talented and so funny. Michael Imperioli, my buddy, is in this season, and he's incredible. All the actors are great. The actors across the board. It takes place in Italy, so some of the cast is Italian. And by the way, it makes you want to go.

It takes place in Sicily. And every shot, you italian and by the way it makes you want to go it takes place in sicily and every shot you're like i gotta go to sicily it's so beautiful donald you were thinking of the watcher that's a netflix show and yes it has jennifer poolidge as well oh okay yeah that's the one with uh bobby kittman right no no that's bobby connolly and um naomi watts isn't nicole kid you got australia right you got australia right no no mia farrow margo martindale naomi wants what's the one with what's the one with uh with nicole kidman are you thinking of guru and that's oh that's a different one with bobby connolly and regina hall and that's one where one with Bobby Cannavale. And Regina Hall and Jennifer Coolidge. That's one where she's like a guru. Jen Coolidge is in that one too.

And they go on a retreat. Damn, is she really? Yeah, she is. What, are there like five actors working right now? Yes. She also got a campaign I saw for her. She's like, she's kind of in a moment. Let's get back to the television show Scrubs, Donald Faison.

Great show. Great show. Great show. So also, Kelso reveals that he's signed Sacred Heart up for a doctor rating website called rateyourdoc.org. And I learned on Scrubs Wiki that they actually made this website, the writers or Disney TV. And I looked for it. It's not still up anymore. But at the time, they made it a real website.

And then I started realizing that this episode is sort of Bill's reaction to the beginning of negative comments about things on the internet and trolling and being judged. Me saying that's what I'm talking about was actually something I said on the show all the time as a ad lib. Right. I say it, fuck, I say it on this all the time as well. That's what I'm talking about. The sound machine, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Right.

I said that all the time and people did not like it. Sort of like when we first... When you say people, I just want to be careful about the semantics he used. When you say people did not like it. Sort of like when we first... No, but when you say people, I just want to be careful about the semantics he used. When you say people did not like it... That's right. Everybody takes shit. There are tens of millions of people

watching Scrubs at the time, and you're like, people did not like it. And that probably meant like maybe two people wrote a comment. Right. That's exactly what it means. Although I will say this when the fortnight shit went down it wasn't just two people it was way more than that it was like every 12 year old

boy on the planet i want to read you something can i read you something yeah sure let me remind if we had a brief story time i'm excited about this breaking out a book let me talk this is um this is an amazing book I recommend to everyone listening. It's called Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss. And Tim Ferriss is a very smart man, and he basically interviews some of the greatest minds in everything. It's very easy to read, perfect for next year toilet, because it's just interviews.

It's like question, answer, question, answer, all over the spectrum of talented people. But this is something I read that he wrote about getting comments and feedback on the internet that I thought was helpful. It says, 10% of people will find a way to take anything personally. Expect it and treat it as math. Particularly as you build an audience, this 10% can turn into a big number. Mentally prepare yourself before publishing anything. Oh, I have 1,000 readers now.

That means 100 are going to respond like assholes. Not because I'm bad, not because they're bad, because that's how the math works. If you anticipate it, it will throw you off less. On top of that, I assume that one percent of my fans are completely bat shit crazy just like the general population which helps me handle the far scarier stuff if you wrongly assume that everyone is going to respond with smiles and high fives you're going to get slapped you'll respond impulsively and you'll triple the damage wow some wise words right there that is wise words because you know what at one point in my life i think i think at one point in everybody's life they thought you know when i put this out

everybody's gonna love it and then when the response and then when the response wasn't that it changes you right but this episode i think is i saw as Bill's kind of working in his initial reactions to the internet. I think this was 2007, I believe, Joelle? Mm-hmm. I think that's right. So I think this was Bill digesting negative feedback from the internet for the first time and weaving the concept into an episode. Yeah. Yeah, because Cox being bald and then having hair,

that was all something that happened on the show. Yes, because, yes, there was a comment. Johnny C., what was the reason he was bald again? I forgot. Maybe it was for another part, or maybe he just did it randomly. I don't know. Then all of a sudden he had hair again, and that was in Scrubs Wiki, too. Let me see that.

It says, Dr. Cox mentions a comment on rateyourdoc.org saying, what's up with Dr. Cox's hair? One week he's bald, the next he looks like Shirley Temple. Signed, Michelle M. This is a fan in-joke mocking Dr. Cox's temporary baldness in My Night to Remember and the fan's reaction to it. And if I'm not mistaken, one of the biggest thorns in Bill's

side was a Michelle M., I think, who was constantly trolling Bill. That's funny. A direct response. I think they gave Michelle M. a shout-out. You know,

I always forget what the haters are gonna do until you think it's a song always fucking reminds me what are they gonna do taylor they're gonna hate hate everyone's posting their spotify thing and i'm afraid to post mine because i'm sure it's mostly taylor swift everyone's i'm not gonna lie man that shit grew on mine because I'm sure it's mostly Taylor Swift. Everyone's bragging about that. I'm not going to lie, man. That shit grew on me. Hey, it's me. I told you.

It's so good. I'm the problem. It's me. Hey. At tea time, everybody agrees. That shit is fire, dude. I sound like an asshole right now, but it is fire. No, you don't sound like an asshole because everyone's posting their Spotify things and

they're showing all these cool bands that they're listening to. And I'm like, damn, I don't think I could post mine. Mine would be like all Taylor Swift. It's all right, man. Post your Taylor, dude. Post your Taylor Swift. That album is fire. Do you know that she shut down Ticketmaster?

She didn't shut down Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster fucked up. I know. I'm just saying it's pretty just amazing. They didn't shut down Ticketmaster. I know. I'm just saying it's pretty just amazing. She had a stadium tour planned, and they let a million people in the verified fan line,

and there was so much demand that it broke the system. Yes. Yeah, and then now people who have tickets are selling tickets for like $35,000, dude. who got one dude i know someone who got a ticket i know someone who got a ticket because they were in the line for eight out in the virtual line for eight hours and and she said that and her not even a good seat but just in the fucking stadium she said her area is selling for ten thousand dollars a ticket right now. Jeez. Wow. She said, but I'm not selling that shit. Hey, it's me. I'm the problem.

It's me. We're going to go. How the fuck are we going? I'm not spending that type of money. You've got to be out your motherfucking mind, bro. No, bro, no. Sorry, sorry. Listen, between iHeart and CAA, we're going to find a way to get our-

iHeart's going to be like, that's going to be half the budget of the show, guys. Stop it. You know, I, you know what I heard. I'll do those. They'll say yes. And then all of a sudden we'll get charged back like $40,000. What is that? What is this?

The tickets. Remember the tickets? We're going. We're going. When is the L.A.? When are the L.A. shows? August, Joel? We're going.

August 3rd through 5th. All right. We're doing a field trip. We're going. Third through fifth. We're doing a field trip. I'm declaring it right now. I waited in line for three hours to not get tickets. Did you wait in line for three hours and not get tickets? Correct. If you would have got tickets, would you have sold them if they were like one thing? Hell no, I'm trying to go.

You guys, I'm here. I'm going to declare it right now. I'm putting it into the ether. I will pull whatever strings I have. This is an expensive string, buddy. No, I'm not going to spend $10,000 a ticket. But, Joelle, Daniel, Donald, and we'll probably have to invite Casey.

We're going to go. We're going to go to Taylor's concert. Let me ask you a question. Are we getting on stage with Taylor? I don't have that kind of power. I know Taylor, but I don't think she's going to invite us on stage. Have you ever been on a stage with somebody? Yes, Josh Radin. Other than Josh Radin.

No, I think the only time I've ever been on stage with a band performing and they called me out. Oh, wait, once. Did I tell you the story? No. I told you the Howard Stern birthday party. Errol Smith was performing. Okay. What?

This is a new story. And I can show you the still I have on my phone. It's hilarious. And Steven Tyler's like, come on up on stage. And he starts, because it was the big finale at Howard Stern's birthday party. This was so many years ago. But he goes, come up on stage. And Slash is, I think it was Slash.

It wasn't the full Aerosmith band. It was like a master group. What do you call those? Super group? Sure. Super group. But I remember that it was Steven Tyler and Slash, at least. And Steven Tyler's calling people out in the audience, like, come on up stage.

Robert Downey Jr. Come on up on stage. Zach Braff. And he's naming all people out in the audience, like, come on upstage, Robert Downey Jr. Come on up on stage, Zach Braff. And naming all the celebrities, come up on stage. Well, I was the only dude who fucking ran up there. Yeah. Let's go. So I'll show you a picture, you guys. It's literally Steven Tyler slash me, howard stern and robin i love it

i love it that's awesome i love it that's amazing what a memory but the rush that you feel let me see if it's in my favorites so i could easily find it for you guys the rush that you feel when you look out into the audience is phenomenal. All right. So when I was younger, I was in this group, not a group, but like this. It was like a youth organization called City Kids. It was a, you know, a non-for-profit organization where they gave young people a voice. And we did a bunch of shows and through art and stuff like that, through the arts and stuff like that. Right. And we got to go on.

We got to do shows with like big time celebrities and stuff like that right and we got to go on we got to do shows with like big time celebrities and stuff like that we got invited to go and do a madison square garden date with gloria estefan and all we had to do was go out on stage with gloria estefan and sing coming out of the dark when that song comes when that song came out like you know this was her comeback yeah so we did this at the garden two nights in a row. And let me tell you something. The energy that you feel when you walk on the stage and these motherfuckers is yelling for you,

they don't even know who you are. And you can hear, ah! Ah! That feeling, that rush, I get why all these motherfuckers be up on stage. Oh, my god. I get why they put their hands out to the side.

To bathe in the breeze. I can't imagine a higher high. Forget any venue, but let's just for the sake of the extreme, go to the stadium version of this. I've seen Coldplay a few times. They build a giant bridge that goes all the way the length of the whole

field area. and Chris Martin singing Fix You and just as like the beat kicks in starts sprinting down the bridge jumps into the air as full pyro comes out of the top of the stadium and I'm like

is there a more fucking powerful thing than a stadium full of people singing your song and you're playing magician in front of them too you know what. And you're playing magician in front of them, too. You know what I mean? And fucking pyro. Fire!

Oh, my God. I just can't imagine there's an art form where you, like, where you, there's a higher, I mean, that's why everybody wants to be a rock star, right? Or a musical star, you know? Because you get that freaking, that rush, man. That shit is real, man. Like, I get the addiction to that.

And it's spiritual it's spiritual and people people their favorite artists when they go see their favorite artists that's church their their their their whole soul is connected to it you know people are crying people are laughing people are just it's it's it's it's the the performer is godlike yeah and you know who's really always touched is the youth the youth are the ones that are always crying and shit because you never see nobody crying like at a backstreet concert or like at a like at an instant concert or at like a freaking you'd see young girls crying at the instant concert that's what i'm saying you don't never see nobody crying like that like

that's what i'm saying like well look look at the Beatles. Remember those women, those people passing out. They had to stop performing because it wasn't safe. Right. What happened? Shirley died last night at the Beatles concert. Well, you know, the Beatles literally were like, we can't tour. It's just not logistically safe or possible. How did she die?

Excitement. She died from excitement. She had love in her heart and it killed her like all right so listen um elliot's patient shannon has als and it's deteriorating quickly she can't move her legs anymore she's um she's now i don't remember this patient i thought this was going to be the patient that was too skinny but it's not this is somebody else i don't remember this patient i thought this was going to be the patient that was too skinny but it's not this is somebody else i don't remember this patient she must have been there patient she must have come back i don't remember it feels like we're treating her like she's been on before so i guess she's back okay she had a funeral for herself um

uh to uh invite people so she could be present for her funeral. Although she didn't get in the casket. And JD says something about a vampire that I forgot. Right, yeah. He was like, did you get in the casket? And she was like, yeah. No, she said no. Okay.

And then JD's like, they were like, who would do that? And then JD's like, a vampire who would do that in LA and then JD's like a vampire I don't know man it was something like only a vampire would who would do that a vampire something like that we know that JD likes vampires so the stats from

the competition come out on rateyourdoc.org and JD is finally number one. He's won something. He's the number one doctor at the hospital. Well, this is what we find out. All of this shit that Cox and Turk are doing are for our website, and you find out that the whole hospital is kind of up on this.

So the Todd's on a different website than everybody else. Which we assume is rateyourcock.org. Right, rateyourcock or rateyourdick. Well, I think cock... Don't you think cock is a... Don't you think cock is the more obvious mistake that he's on than dick? I mean, is the D close to the C?

Well, it's just that it rhymes. It's right above it. It's right above it. Are you looking at your keyboard? I am. I am. I am looking at your keyboard? I am. I am. I am looking at my keyboard. Okay, so everyone's competing.

And Cox and Turk, who are the most competitive mofos, they can't handle it. They can't. It's too much. They're going to sabotage JD. It's too much for jd to be number one at anything because jd doesn't compete at anything that's the thing but you know what i like about this you do learn you know you see jd being so silly you know he's a good

you assume he's a good doctor but this is the first time you actually see that like no his patients love this guy more than any other doctor in the hospital which i thought was a nice moment because there's so much of jd being a goofball and we we infer that he's a good doctor because he's so he's so passionate and he's so emotional and so connected but this was kind of like oh the entire patient population who participated in this picked him as number one yes and he does a dance you like the little dance i do my number one doctor dance no you didn't like that no that shit was fire and then i go and then i go to my cell phone call call mom no mommy he goes i have to make a quick call call and then i kind of wish i go call loudly then i go mommy

there's nothing like calling your mom and telling her you were number one though it's great of course amazing call i love calling my mom and telling her good news that's always the best mom i got the part yeah mom i got the part mom are you sitting down i always do that shit like out of the movies mom are you sitting down all right so jd um so sorry so shannon we learned um it seems tried to overdose she tried she used the wrong medication and elliot says you got to be careful yes before elliot realizes excuse me that she was trying to overdose she says you know if you'd taken y medicine instead of x medicine you could have really you know, if you'd taken Y medicine instead of X medicine, you could have really

hurt yourself. And she says, I'm going to have to tell Gail, who's her nurse that's watching over her, that you did this to watch out for you. And then we see Gail flying. JD is helping it look like Gail is flying with a fan. Because Shannon doesn't want to stay with Gail.

Here's the thing. She likes her, but she's just a little too much. Right. And Elliot's like, what? And then she points to the door, and Gail is flying. Yes, in a very funny manner. Gail's silly, like JD. And Elliot's like, how is the wind?

How is she able to do the hair and the cape flapping? And the scarf. Right, and the scarf flapping. And we cut to JD with a fan. And he's like, I'm next. I get to go next. I get to go next. So yeah, so she's silly like JD.

Right. OK, then we cut. So does that mean she's a great doctor or a great caretaker also? Because people seem to love JD. We don't know. We just know that she's silly like JD. And I think it's safe to say that Shannon isn't in the mood for anybody silly. Shannon wants to be left alone and end her life.

And she's stuck with this silly, fun nurse. And end her life. And she's stuck with this silly, fun nurse. The janitor is wearing argyle because he's going all in on convincing Lady. Lady that he's normal. Yes. And that's what this whole episode boils down to. Like, what is normal? Is it normal to say, I want to take control of my life and end it now?

Who's to say that I can't do that? Is it normal to, you know, is who I am, who I project in front of you guys, in front of everyone, is that all right? Is it all right for me to be that person? Yes. You know. That is the theme. That is the theme. And also in the spirit of them getting trolled and getting commented on as doctors for the first time, again, this being like an early commentary for Bill and the writers of like getting online critique, like, you know, what is the best version of myself? to do what what i want to do as the creator or am i supposed to take the critique from the internet

and change the show and then i find it hilarious i'm bill quote being bill quote unquote uh i i bill find it hilarious when donald says uh that's what i'm talking about are you telling me that i'm am i supposed to change and be something do something that i don't think is funny as the comedy writer because of your comments i just thought you, you know, it's all of that. It's all those layers of wrestling with, like, do I be me or do I be something that you want me to be? Right. You know what I mean?

You know what I'm saying? I don't know what you're saying. This is a very powerful episode. Not necessarily my favorite episode as far as comedy goes. No, and it wasn't the funniest. It wasn't the funniest. But a lot of great messages in this show and a lot of what we're dealing with today.

Well, and it's very timely, too, because i imagine in 2007 when this came out it was like you know this was a new this was the new phase of the of the internet i mean i'm not sure what year did twitter come out um in 09 not that much later um two years later from 2007 at well it was happening on myspace and Facebook and still, I mean, already. But then Twitter came and fucking nuclear bombed the whole thing. That was the weapon. That was the one. Anyway, do we have any predictions about whether Twitter is going to last? Daniel, you're our tech expert.

Aw, gee. Yeah, I mean, like, I think Twitter will just become a less and less safe place in terms of your privacy, your data, and stuff like that. So I would suggest maybe not DMing anyone private information anymore. Right. It would have to lose a lot of money for them to straight up switch off the servers and turn Twitter completely off. Right, but here's my question, Daniel.

My question is this. Explain it like I'm five. Sure. Isn't the only revenue ad revenue other than the eight dollar for a verified check thing now but isn't the only money ad revenue yeah kind of i think so yeah so if so if the language begins to become too offensive won't all advertisers split and then and then how did and then how does it survive is my question You know what? I think that's a great question. I think if push comes to shove and moderation goes in a certain way

where they're just kind of allowing whatever, the platform spirals, people are spreading more and more hate speech, it will become a less and less appealing place to advertise. Who's going to advertise on there other than my pillow guy? Exactly. I don't know. There's a lot of hate on the website already. must say it's really interesting yeah i was about to say that's exactly right there's a lot of hate on the website and that hasn't stopped people from

advertising on other websites you know what i mean no i'm just saying that like if it continues down i'm just asking the question i have no answers i'm just saying if it continues down a uh you know anybody can say whatever the hell they want. Those are the new rules. Then it becomes normal. If it continues like this, it's going to become normal. I'm just wondering if, you know, Chevrolet is going to pay for an ad next to that.

I just don't know. If it's normalized, yeah. Probably not, though, Donald, because it's becoming a contentious space, not just for users, but like right now they're in a feud with Apple, bizarrely. And so I think we'll continue to see a rollback of advertisers. Many websites operate at a loss. I really think we might be seeing the birth of the new 8chan if things continue in this direction.

What do you say? I don't know what 8chan is. Do you know what 4chan is? No. Okay, it's like Reddit, but for horrible people. It just seems like there's so much hate speech going on right now, and it's really

starting to boil over. people with influence are spewing hate speech more and more now and it's it's it's uh and and to have a platform like twitter that's like you know what it's free speech though but we've already seen a decline in usership you know what i mean like there's already twitter's most active users i think they said there's like a 10 decline and that was just like as elon was approaching purchasing the site like right after he did excuse me so um and you know with the rise of like hive which is a social website that operates pretty similarly to twitter

with some uh instagram applications uh as those continue to improve and become more user-friendly, I think we'll continue to see an exodus from Twitter. I don't think it's going to go back to what it was. I think we're going to see a slow exodus from that. It was already a failing website anyway when he bought it. Wasn't it already? Financially, it was not stable, but most of these websites work at a loss anyway. It wasn't, but it had.

But it was making advertising money because you had however many thousands of people at least moderating the worst stuff off right and now in theory but a robot can't do that right you need a human being ultimately you need a moderation didn't he have like thousands of moderation people that have largely been let go, or am I wrong? Yeah. Okay. Speaking of robots. If there's not a human being that's eventually moderating the speech a bit,

it's not going to be a place where a corporation's going to want to put their ad. I'm guessing. I don't know. Speaking of robots, dude, is it LA County that's doing this shit? Robots going in to unarm motherfuckers and they're just a bomb? This shit is real, dude. Is it LA? Is it LA County that's doing this shit? Robots going in to unarm motherfuckers and they're just a bomb? This shit is real, dude. I saw this shit, dog.

San Francisco, what the fuck, man? You know what's going to happen. This is how it goes down. So it's a remote control robot. It's not a bomb, right? No, it's a fucking bomb, dude. That's the funny thing. They said we're not putting guns on robot right no it has a machine gun on it's not a bomb right no it's a fucking bomb dude that's

the funny thing they were like we're not gonna put they said we're not putting guns on robots we're putting disarming explosives on robots oh perfect there it is better perfect somebody be like i don't want to do the remote control anymore can another robot do the shit for me wait a second then the other robot starts the robot goes in develops consciousness skynet is introduced t2 creates more robots terminator it's funny but it's terrifying wait a second the robot goes in and just drops off a bomb and then leaves the robot explodes it explodes no you wouldn't kill the robot the robot's probably expensive the robot's not alive no but the robot i imagine is a

very expensive robot yeah explosion isn't gonna kill the metal robot look this is the warfare the motherfucker's gonna sit there and be like they'll be sitting there blasting the robot with an ak the shit's not the robot just continues to i don't just continues to get closer and closer and closer. It's like WALL-E, but bulletproof. WALL-E. It gets closer and closer. And then when it gets really close, it goes boom and fucking kills the person shooting the AK. Daniel, can you please explain what it really is?

I can't exactly say that Donald is wrong because I don't know exactly, but I will say something tells me that it's going to be more along the lines of a robot throwing a flashbang or some sort of disarming or device. A robot taking its robot arm and just freaking grabbing the flashbang. They just want to remove people from the field and they're going to be like, yeah, let's just throw some robots in there. You know those robot dogs that are so

incredibly agile? It's better than putting a machine gun on those things. That would be bad news. Dude, you know what would be better? Literally an episode of Black Mirror. This is all coming, man. We're on the verge of it. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Everybody likes This is all coming, man. We're on the verge of it. Okay, we're going to take

a quick break and we'll be right back. Everybody likes a little ass play, dude. Hey, my name's Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michael B. Jordan

whether it be a finger, a tongue, I'd be like, go on. All right, well, that's not me. That reference isn't maybe good for you but i'm sure there's something an eccentricity of casey's or something in her past or something she could tell you that on date one you'd be a little like whoa whereas on date 10 you'd be like oh okay i don't know no all right joelle listen do you want to weigh in on this? If it took till date 10 for that shit to come out, then we got a problem, bro. We got a problem. I need to talk into the mic. I'm talking away from the mic.

If it took from date 10 for that shit to come out, then we got a problem, bro. A straight up problem. I once went on a few dates with a woman, and she was amazing, and we were getting along great. with a woman and she was amazing and we were getting along great and um and she was roughly i would say five six and um and then we ended up making out a little bit and she took her boots off and when she stood up she was definitely under under five which is fine i mean not to say i couldn't fall for a woman under five feet but i was definitely taken aback and she clearly was hiding this from me yeah yes i can't tell a lot like i have thank you for the thing where i'm just like like whatever is in here is coming out of my

mouth and so i don't have the opportunity to slowly pace it's all or nothing yo this is if it's gonna be a relationship it has to be all or nothing you can't just be on some i'm a serial killer and i'm not gonna tell you until i kill you shit like that's not that's not that's one extreme that's a pretty extreme it might be extreme but that's I mean look the janitor's borderline dude the motherfucker

stuffs a badger with squirrels come on bud five squirrels five squirrels fit in a badger if that ain't

serial killer conversation I don't know what the fuck is no he tries he tries to take Carla's advice and uh

and on their next date they're watching TV and he pulls out one of his stuffed creatures. And she's like, that's disgusting. And he's like, look what I found. And she's like, oh, my God, it's disgusting. Get that out of here. And he's like, yeah, I agree with you.

I've never felt bad for Janitor before. I think ladies front in two, though. I think ladies just like Janitor at the end of the day. Well, spoiler alert, we know that they end up together in love. So apparently doling out his crazy and small doses works for him. Carla really was a good wing woman. He took it literally. He tried to show her, I'm not going to take out the big stuffed animal.

I'll take out a little tiny one. Yeah, I'll take out a little tiny one so i don't first of all he also doesn't tell her that it's stuffed with other animals she just takes it out like i found this taxidermied cute thing right and she's like gross and he's like yeah i think so too i'm gonna put it back in my backpack Anyway Alright so In college JD reveals that we shared a toothbrush I did not know that That was very funny

And then there's this very The rare fantasy within a fantasy Right Okay so look The fantasy is Turk apologizing And saying is there anything I can do To make this up And JD says thanks Okay, so look, the fantasy is Turk apologizing and saying, is there anything I can do to make this up? Right.

And JD says, thanks, there is. And first, it's a unicorn. Right. JD loves unicorns, and Turk has found a unicorn. Turns out the unicorn's not real in JD's fantasy. It's two, I think they're twins? Are they twins? Anyway, there was two young men in the suit the suit and he pulls the head off accidentally right right trying to give the

and then turk says in the fantasy turk says is there anything i can do to make this up to you right he goes into another fantasy fantasy a fantasy. With a freaking unicorn again. A real unicorn. But this time it's a fake horn. Yes. And unicorns aren't real. I'm sorry, JD. That's just how it is. Right. Well, JD is very upset. I remember shooting that and

that horn would barely stay on that horse's head. They were trying to, you know, obviously, you know know do it very ethically so you're not gonna like use glue i just remember that that horn wouldn't stay on that damn thing yeah i remember that day i think i have a picture of that day yeah that was a funny day we had a unicorn i thought every day you go to work and there's a unicorn I love the very rare Scrubs fantasy within a fantasy

It doesn't happen too much Do you remember I remember my first fantasy within a fantasy moment And that was American Werewolf in London Do you remember American Werewolf in London I've never seen it I know it's a classic but I've never seen it I don't know if it holds up It's been a long time since i've seen it

so then um jd and uh says the only way you can make it up to me is if we go play basketball and every time i make a shot you yell white lightning and a great jump little children's song plays that i really like jump a little children that shit was dope whatever song that was at the end of the show was amazing jump little children i want you guys to all listen them they're they're a very underrated very underrated band but uh the song is called b13 b-13 by jump little children i really like that band a lot this was clearly my idea because i didn't know anyone else was listening to Jump Little Children.

Yes, Dan. Want me to play it right here? Yes, Dan will play 30 seconds of it right here. There is a place for me Far, far away On a distant screen Or on a silver moon Stolen late one night

With arms held high Screaming take me away So now we get into the, now we get into the. The Gale thing. Yeah. All right. So Elliot makes a decision that, I mean, obviously a very controversial decision. Do you think she's haunted by this for the rest of her career?

Well, JD warns her that if you don't warn Gale to look out for this woman taking her own life, it's going to haunt you for the rest of your life. And we assume that JD's gotten through to Elliot, but I got goosebumps like crazy. Because we know JD's haunted. We know JD's followed around by his past experiences. We've seen it in the show. But look, I'm getting goosebumps on my arm as I remember it. That's how moving this moment was, that Elliot makes a choice not to warn Gale

and allow her friend, patient, to make her own decision about the end of her life. Mm-hmm. And I thought it was very powerful. It's a really beautiful sacrifice. It is, but I think it's going to be something that she thinks about, though, for the rest of her life, though. Sure. And that is part of the sacrifice also.

Part of the sacrifice is, okay, I'm going to deal with this forever. But keep in mind, this was 2007, so now a more likely scenario would be let's let's take you to one of those states where you can do this legally and ethically you know as i'm sure many people do um this was this was this is a way of doing it before that change begun it's very it's a very it's a very in my opinion very controversial uh moment for elliot especially someone who is who tries very hard not to be controversial and is always trying to do what her parents want or do what she thinks the status quo is you know what i mean or do what her

politics says is the right thing to do and this is a moment where she throws all of that aside and just says, what would I do? Like, this is the theme of this show. Do you want me to be me or do you want me to be what fucking I put in front of everybody? Right. Well said. Well, it ended up being a very powerful moment for me.

I thought the episode was just okay, but at the end, I really thought that was powerfully well told with the song, the Jump Little Children song, and Elliot not saying anything to Gail. I thought that was really good. And then you yelling white lightning and me yelling white lightning. Yeah. All of that. That was definitely all very.

There you go. All right, Joelle, do you have some submissions? Yeah. I've never laughed harder. I've been laughing. I've been laughing. I've been laughing for two weeks. Zach and Donald are gay and switched at birth. That dude had me rolling.

Whatever the freaking thing. That was very funny, by the way. Oh, yeah, Daniel, I need that sound bite for the machine. I got it for you. I got it for you. That guy was very funny. He made me laugh. And I wanted to say one other thing.

Oh, I wanted to give Clutes a shout out, guys, because I think when this airs, it will have already aired because Amanda Clutes, our friend, has her very own Christmas movie called Fit for Christmas that's going to be on CBS Sunday night after football. This will air Tuesday, which means it's already aired, but you can find it on Paramount+. Nice.

Fit for Christmas. Amanda Klutz, our friend, she pitched, you know, she loves these sort of Hallmark-y, you know, romantic Christmas movies that a lot of people like, obviously because they make so many of them. Well, this ain't on Hallmark. This is on CBS, bro. I know.

I'm saying that she likes that oeuvre, and she pitched her, she had her own idea, and she pitched it to CBS, and they bought it, and she co-wrote it with another woman, and she stars in it. I believe it's her lead in anything debut. I mean, she's the star of it. Let's go.

And it's on so if by the time you're hearing this it will have aired on TV but you can find it on Paramount Plus our buddy Amanda Clutes Fit for Christmas there's her her shout out

Jordan and you can listen to it right now.

Michael is known for his performances in both film and television. His breakout role was in Fruitvale Station, playing Oscar Grant, which earned him widespread praise and numerous award nominations. His portrayal of Killmonger in Marvel's Black Panther, one of my favorites, further solidified his status as one of Hollywood's leading actors, earning him widespread acclaim for his complex and compelling performance. In our conversation, Michael really opens up. You're going to love listening to it, and I can't wait for you to check it out.

The closest to getting what you want is always the hardest. It's always the feeling when you're getting ready. People give up right before they get what they've always wanted to get. People quit.

We're going to start with which one? An idea for the podcast future or an idea for me and Donald as a TV show?

So this is for Mike McCallum. It is a future project suggestion. Okay. Hey, how's it going? Hope all's well. My name's Mike. I'm from Jersey, the little island near France. An idea for a movie for you guys to do together in the future. A bromance film based on the true story of your lives and how you met. With all the stories you've told on the podcast i think it could be awesome it could start off with zach as a kid doing his bar mitzvah rap then kind of to donald as he's rapping along to wu-tang you could see some of you guys growing up in theater school

and donald's mum helping out with all his auditions a bit of clueless garden state and of course a lot of scrubs we could also see some of you guys in your flat and all the things you got up to in New York see Donald meeting Casey and being rejected and maybe Zach comforting him until the winds are over and see Donald

having his kids, Zach being asked to be godfather, maybe after the third kid that Zach could be like, another one. Sorry, I didn't do that justice. But yeah, I thought it could be done in the style of the film The Big Sick and a bit of an abstract ending, but you could always

end with Bill Lawrence at his computer and it turns out he's been writing the story of your lives. Anyway, thanks for listening to me ramble. Ciao for now. Oh, very sweet. What a nice accent. First of all, he's from Jersey. No, he's from old Jersey. Not New Jersey. Trust me,

if you're from New Jersey, you sound like me. If you're from old Jersey, you sound like that. Oh, I was about to say. Oh, so there is an old Jersey. Yes, there is an old Jersey. Got it. I was wondering. Has it always been called old Jersey? No, it's not called old Jersey.

I know, guys. Come on. Anyway, I love his accent. I love his accent. If I spoke like that, Donald, I would be such a stud. You would what? I'd be such a stud. You would what?

I'd just be such a stud. I will say this. I will say this. I loved his idea. I don't think it's a television show or a movie. I think it's a music video. I don't think it's a television show or a movie. I think it's a music video.

Like me and you need to, we need to create a song. Something like, you know, so this is the world we live in. You know what it really reminded me of though was the ending for Six Feet Under. But instead of us dying in the end, it's Bill Lawrence with the script. But it's the anthology of our life all the way through up until we reach the present. Yeah. Well, I thought it was – listen, I think it was very sweet the way he pitched it. And he seems like a very lovely man.

Yes. I like the idea of it being a reveal that Bill's writing the whole thing. I thought that was smart. I don't think that we in reality want to do the story of our lives. No. Alright, but thank you for the submission. Your accent was our favorite part and if you lived in New Jersey, you would not

sound like that. You'd say words like coffee, talk, chocolate, dog. Get the fuck out of here dog when we were making when we're making a good person oh i gotta give everyone a warning my good person trailer is dropping on december 15th everybody yes that is my wedding anniversary that is the perfect day to drop a good person drop that shit and when you drop it, say this is for my best friend's wedding anniversary. Okay, I'm probably not going to do that. But I do want everyone who's

willing to... Wait, what do you mean you're not going to do that? I'm going to focus on the film, not your wedding anniversary, if it's okay. Alright. I do want everyone who keeps track of these things to please put it down in your calendar. December 15th is the day that uh

we'll be dropping i got married to casey yes that is the day yes for a good person a good person trailer drops december 15th very excited day after my dad's birthday yeah these are all these are all the ways it relates to Donald's life. That's why we chose December 15th. No, but it's a big thing for us. We're very excited. I'm really excited for you, bud. It's going to be really cool. All right, Joelle, let's go to the next idea,

which is an idea for a future incarnation of the podcast, I take it. Yes. It's titled A Pitchy from Mitchie. Pitchy from Mitchie. Hi, Joel. Hi, Zach. Hi, Donald. Hi, Daniel. Good to hear you guys back on the airwaves. It's Mitch from Australia.

I was the onesie guy who were on a game show. Remember him? Hope everyone's well. I have an idea. Just following up from what laura and matt pitched to you guys um here's a pitch from mitch that's a horrible pun i'm sorry um you're not sorry following up from what they said both great ideas i thought also maybe if you like did you possibly did your episode in two halves like catch up shoot the shit see what's going on

in your lives and stuff like that. And the second half, kind of like you used to have with guests would write in and ask a question and fix your life, maybe we could have a bit of a talent quest. So kind of like you guys would be the judges on your American Idol or whatever, or more like America's Got Talent or Australia's Got Talent and listeners could submit in some talents, perhaps, maybe like people might be able to do awesome impressions or sing or whatever. I think maybe like an unofficial Fake Doctors Are All Friends idol or Fake Doctors Got Talent maybe.

And it could be anything. And it could be anything. And it could be a bit of fun, a few laughs to be had. And, you know, I think it could be fun. And I would like to put my submission in. I can do a few impressions. Be like, hi, Horro, Kermit the Frog here. Maybe this will make you laugh, Donald.

Yay! Or, Ruby Doo! Anyways, I hope you guys are well. I'm currently driving through the streets of Sydney, and I'm getting weird looks, giggling like an idiot. All on hands-free, though, so it's all safe. At any rate, I hope you guys are well. Be safe, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers. All right. All right. Now, what a legend. Mitch is a very funny man. I like, I'm going to be honest. He did Kermit the Frog. I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, listen, a talent show, don't get me wrong. I think a talent show would be funny. I don't want to do it every week as a full-time thing. It would be really funny just to see what people send in. Well, maybe it's like instead of replacing this segment that we do now with a talent show or someone, they sing or they play an instrument or they do comedy. That would be funny. Did you ever see that one where the lady asked Celine Dion if she could sing for her? And Celine's in the car in front of a restaurant or something like that.

And it's really bad. And the girl starts singing and it's really bad. And Celine Dion just rolls up the window. front of like a restaurant or something like that and the girl starts singing and it's really bad i would love that i would love to be able to look listen without sounding like an asshole and without being an asshole if you guys want to send in your talents your singing talents your comedic talents and everything like that and you want us to judge it yeah if you really want that but i don't know if you want to judge it like i'm down to do that but i'm gonna be 100 with you though man like y'all are 100 with me and my mom like y'all are 100 with me and my dms and in my motherfucking twitter and all of that shit like y'all are 100 with me when you come at me with all of that stuff if you want to do that,

go ahead. I'm willing to. So you're saying if we were to do this that you would be more of the Simon, because I don't want, I could never be.

I wouldn't be mean. I would just be honest. I would just be honest. Just look, man, look. Just being honest. I just want to say that I, if you were willing

to be the Simon Cowell, because I would never like say like you're horrible. You wouldn't be honest? You would. You wouldn't be honest? I would be delicate. I would be more like.

If somebody came in and was horrible at whatever it is that their talent was. I'd be like, you clearly have a different skill you haven't found yet. I'm going to. Very gentle. The spit went down the wrong pipe. Shit. But I do think it's funny. I always used to think it was funny.

I never could never be the Simon Cowell, but I did think it was funny when he would be like, that's the worst song I've ever heard in my whole life. That's the worst singing I've ever heard. Ever? Really, Simon? Really? Ever?

That was absolutely horrible. I used to laugh. I'd just be like, I just could never do that to anybody. I used to laugh at Randy Jackson. That's when American Idol was funny. That's going to be a no for me, dog. Those shows were, I mean, I never want to be the person, but they were funniest when there was at least one bad guy, right?

Yeah, like William Hart. She banged, she banged. When it became all positive, I stopped watching them. Listen, I enjoy a train wreck just as much as the next person. I think we all enjoy train wrecks. I think. I don't think I want to be a part of the train wreck, though. I don't want to be.

Yeah, I don't want fake doctors real friends to be. Yeah, we want to be a part of the train wreck, though. I don't want to be. Yeah, I don't want fake doctors, real friends to be. Yeah, we want to build people up. We want to build people up. We're not trying to take anybody down. I would love to tell everyone the movies that I've watched that I've really not liked. But it's not my thing. I'll tell you privately, but I don't want to broadcast. So much hard work and artistry goes into a film, for example.

I would never publicly put anybody down. Although we all love a train wreck. I'll build people up. I'll say you've got to watch White Lotus Season 2. I'm going to keep it 100. I love a train wreck, though. I said it over and over again, and I'll say it again. You're saying when someone performs and they're horrible, you enjoy that. I do, too. Everybody does. That's going to keep it 100. I love a train wreck though. I said it over and over again and I'll say it again. You're saying like

when someone performs and they're horrible, you enjoy that. I do too. Everybody does. That's why those shows are popular. Yes.

But they're only extra funny when then Simon Cowell is like, my ears are literally bleeding from this. Right. All right, everybody. That's the show.

We love you very much. Wait, hold on. Before we go. What? You know a song is getting a mad bump in my car right now And I know we can't play it on the air

But it's just It's just one of my favorite songs What? Mommy don't know Daddy's getting I knew you were going to say this Doing something unholy Yes

Rips It goes. It goes. Sam Smith. What's the young lady's name? Kim Petras. Kim Petras. Oh, shit.

So good. That song rules. They got a bop, dog. They got a bop bop. You know what's messed up, though, is they took the freaking American version of the Middle Eastern theme. Oh, sure. And turned it into a hit song. Yes.

I mean, they weren't the first people to do it, but yes, it works really well. That's the first freaking version of it that I'm like, yep, again. You like Britney Spears toxic which is based off of an Indian song okay alright guys that's our show we love you very very much and we'll see you next time thank you so much for tuning in
