Yeah, another meeting. She is indeed in another meeting apparently yeah another meeting she is indeed in another meeting i can promise you it's not with zoe that's all i'm gonna say i know that

It doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't. And even if we win. And even if we win. Oh, my God. I wonder if anyone else gets that reference.

Someone our age will. I know someone. Too young to get that reference. Do you know the movie, Daniel? No, actually, I don't. I didn't think you would. It's an amazing movie and very early in Bill Murray's career called Meatballs. Ah.

It's about camp. Are you ready for the summer? And you did the meat. I was about to say it says help parents to show it to their kids, but I don't know if it's still. No, you know what? If you watch it, it's not as, there's teenage stuff in it and stuff like that But there's no nudity There's no cursing I loved it

I remember being a great I mean it's for I think you can show your teenage kid Yeah It's for teenagers But it's like Bill Murray One of his first movies off SNL That wasn't just

A comedy It is a comedy But it also has heartwarming stuff in it And he's like a mentor to this kid at camp. He's a camp counselor, actually. He's like the head of camp counselors at the camp. Yeah, and he's hilarious in it. Yeah.

It's great. But the movie's mostly about the kids. I don't want you to go thinking that this is a Bill Murray movie. Maybe I'm remembering a different movie. I mean, we've spoken about this because I told you that Meatballs 2 is the worst sequel that's ever been made of any movie of all time. Ted meat. Ted. Cause ET had come out.

Did we talk about this? I know. Oh yeah. Cause I went on Brett Goldstein's podcast and, and he wanted me to say a movie I hated. And I was, you know, I don't like criticizing anybody's work no matter what it is.

Uh, but, but I had to pick a movie I thought was just a mess. And so I, I thought of that alien that had been worked into the movie. No, that alien became the star of the movie. That movie was about that alien. Solely because they lost Bill Murray,

and it was at the same time of the success of E.T., and they were like, what if there was an alien? And he looked like E.T., right? Yeah. He looked like him. But they put? Yeah. He looked like a- But they put him in like a yellow- Trench coat. Yeah.

It was either a trench coat or a raincoat. Yeah. Same thing. With the rain hat. Yeah. Anyway, I missed you all. Hey, listeners, thank you for coming back and happy new year to you all. Thank you for being here.

So much stuff has happened that I wanted to talk about, but I smoke, I smoke a lot of marijuana. But I thought you were going to not smoke marijuana today. Oh, you're just saying in the past, because you smoked so much you've lost your memory. In the past, because I've smoked so much marijuana that my memory is gone. I had some really important shit I wanted to discuss with you all. I think you owe it to our audience

if you're such a pothead, to write these things down. I started to, but then I lost the paper too. So it was like, what am I writing it down for if I can't find the paper? I'm sorry, audience. Just imagine the funny things Donald would have for you if he wasn't. Some of it was like heartfelt and heartwarming. Imagine all that heartwarming stuff, guys.

God. Weed. Not even once. Wonderful. How have you been? We have so much to talk about. Well, I have to tell the audience, and you know, Daniel probably doesn't know, I was so sick. I got

strep throat. You got the real. I heard through the grapevine. I'm so sorry. Donald and I were meant to go to Vegas for an iHeart event. It was going to be so much fun, and Casey was coming. Oh, dude, it was. I couldn't go. Donald went and represented on his own.

Thank you, Donald. But man. I'm going to tell you something right now, Zach. Because you were sick, you fucked up the whole trip for me. No, don't put that guilt on me, please. No, but I got it, buddy. I got it. Because I love you.

And this is the only way. It was supposed to be the three of us. It was going to be fucking. The usual. The usual. The usual suspect. The thruple. Yeah, the three of us. It was going to be fucking- The usual- The usual suspect. The usual suspect. The thruple. Yeah, the thruple.

And we were going to be in Vegas, and we were going to double down on Blackjack, baby. We were going to bet on Black. And Casey, who never gets time away from the kids, was like, we're going to Vegas. It's going down. And I had to call them and be like, guys- We got a sitter and everything. I know. Zach calls and says, guys, I have strep.

But not only does he call and say he has strep, he calls and says this the day before we're supposed to leave. Well, what am I supposed to do? I couldn't go. You don't know how sick I was. I've never had strep like this. I had to get a painkiller. I had to get a legit painkiller to swallow. This whole trip, this whole trip, Zach had gone away for a bit.

I was doing whatever the fuck I was doing. And this whole trip, we were talking to each other like, keep your nose clean. Vegas is coming. Keep your nose clean. Keep your nose clean. Keep your nose clean. Well, if the expression keep your nose clean means don't do drugs, I didn't do drugs. I just got fucking sick.

Well, how did it get into your body, bud? How did the sickness get into you? I was in Aspen. Like so many people. Through your nose, through your mouth. Keep your nose clean, fucker. No matter where you are, these days, by the way, these days, no matter where you are, if you're going on vacation,

you're in packed restaurants, you're in packed bars. I was in a packed airport. I must have been one of three people wearing a mask at the fucking packed airport and um you know how are you not gonna get something so i got the fuck up i really honestly in 47 years of existence never had a strep throat like this i sent you a picture donald my uvula was nasty my uvula was like like an old man's balls resting on my tongue. Jesus. Just long and thick and pussy. Oh. Picture an old man's scrotum and picture it pussy and red. Does an old man have pussy scrotum balls?

No, I'm saying add the pussy. Old men, stereotypically, the balls hang low because, you know, they've had years of hanging. So they hang low, right? They've stretched out like a tribal woman's earlobe after putting the... Yes. But I want you to go back to the image of an... Listen, I want the audience to really get this. I want you to picture an old man's scrotum.

I prefer to picture something else. Well, I'm just... The audience, just let the audience hear this. An old man's scrotum. I prefer to picture something else. Well, I'm just the audience. Just let the audience hear this. An old man's scrotum, right? Hanging low. Now picture it pussy and red. Now picture it resting on the back of my tongue. Oh, man.

It was so bad. Oh, my God. Dude, the only thing I ate for a week was pudding. Yum. It was so bad. Oh, my God. Dude, the only thing I ate for a week was pudding. Yum. My abs are gone. I had pudding for dinner, breakfast, and lunch. Well, anyway, so I had to go to Vegas and represent. But the minute that Zach said, I'm not going to Vegas, my wife was like, hey, you know what?

I don't think I want to go either. Oh, shut up. That's not true. She was like, you know. She said that you said that. No, no, hey, you know what? I don't think I want to go either. Oh, shut up. That's not true. She's like, she was like, you know. She said that you said that. No, no, no, no, no. She could say whatever the fuck she wants to. I'm not trying to get in the middle of this couple, even though I always do.

But she said that you were like, oh, babe, now it's just going to be work. So fuck the fuck. No, that's what she said. She's trying to throw it off on me. But she was like, you know what, baby? Now that, you know, Zach's not going and, you know, Mark's not going know zach's not going and you know mark's not going it's just gonna be work for you so i don't think i should go oh she totally listen i could be a counselor because she had a total different version of that story whatever and that's fine

so anyway i'm like so i agree and i'm like all right fine you don't have to go so now i'm in vegas hanging out with will oh also who's our also joelle also had strep throat too she was supposed to go and somewhere down the line she said i can't make it and so she's out also so now it's just me will pearson and will pearson's for those of you don't know is the head of uh podcast at iHeart, right, Daniel? Mm-hmm. By the way, sorry, Daniel. Wait, oh, it gets crazy. All right, keep going. Right? And they're like, we're going to fly you out on the iHeartJet.

And I'm like, all right, bet. That was posh. That sounds good. Posh. Flew out on iHeartJet, got to Vegas. Did you get a drink on the PJ? I didn't get a drink on the PJ. Really?

Why don't you live it up? Because I'm trying to. Well, there's reasons. You were trying to slim out. You were trying to slim out. There's't you live it up? Because I'm trying to. Well, there's reasons. You were trying to slim out. There's reasons. There's reasons, right. All right, I'm trying to. Anyway.

Also, you're talking to the CEO of iHeart. You didn't want to get buzzed. Right, I don't want to be that guy, right? What did you guys talk about? Well, the CEO isn't on the jet, right? So we get there and he's going to- Is it you alone or you and Will? It's me by myself on the iHeart jet.

Oh, you didn't tell me that. Why didn't you spread out and order some champagnes? Super lux. Because there was no champagne. There was fruit, and the fruit was delicious. There was fruit. Fruit was delicious. Good, good.

The fruit was delicious. It was magnificent. Listen, if I was alone on a PJ. If you ever have fruit on a PJ, well, there's still the pilots. There's still the pilots. If I was alone on a PJ, I would have spread out. I would have been like, what do you guys got in the bar?

Yeah. No, I was, I was there to work and make shit happen. There was definitely booze on the I Heart PJ. There was no booze.

So we land, there was booze, but I wasn't drinking. That's my point. Somewhere there was booze, but I wasn't drinking. So we land, we get to the hotel

and we start, you know, and I'm like, you know what? I got a little bit of time before I got to do any of these events. Let's go to the casino. I take some money out of the ATM machine. Takes a picture of it. And I put it at, you know, I go to the table and I start to bet.

And then I realized this isn't fun anymore for me. Do you know when betting is fun, people? When it's when this is when when it's paying your motherfucking rent that's when betting is the best it's listen when when when when life as you know it is on the line like remembering swingers when they go to vegas and he's like this is blood money yeah That's when betting is the best. Other than that, you just feel like you're giving money away to this casino. So I was like, you know what? I don't want to gamble. The funniest part was, wait, I got to tell you my side of this.

So Donald texts me a picture of the money he's pulled out of the ATM. And I'm like, go bet some blackjack. Go have fun just because you're there alone. I feel so bad, by the way. But I'm like, just because you're there alone doesn't mean you can't make some fun, dude. Go play some blackjack, go do something. And he goes, I don't want to, I don't want to risk this money. Like, you know, I just moved into a new house. I'm like, you know, we're spending a lot of money on fix up the house. And I go, bro, go have some fun with some of your money, go play with a couple thousand dollars and just, you know, that's, you know, keep it capped and don't be stupid.

And he's like, you're right. You're right're right two seconds later i get a text from casey well there goes the fancy oven i wanted and i'm like well you'll be happy to know and i'm like and i'm like what what are you talking about because it was so quick it was literally like five mississippi later she's like you told donald gamble. I'm not getting that oven I was looking at. Well, you'll be happy to know I did not spend the money. I did not lose an oven. I was not stupid.

Although I did sit down with some lovely people and watch them lose money. It's fun to watch other people lose money. It's fun to watch other people lose money. I remember watching Bill. It's gut-wrenching, actually. When we first went to Vegas with Bill, and he was obviously already a very wealthy man, I would watch him play blackjack with huge hands.

And I was like, wow, I've never seen this with somebody I know. And he goes, yeah, you got to bet enough to make it hurt a little. Like whatever level you're at, it's got to hurt a little. And I was watching him hurt a little, but it was fun. It's fun to watch somebody else play like that. Have you ever watched like people play

with like five, $10,000 hands? Yes, I've seen that before, yes. It's fun to watch. It is fun to watch. And it's unbelievable that there are people out there that have that type of money. I watched a dude playing with $5,000 chips, blackjack. And he was like stacking them.

The chips were brown, I remember. And he had a bunch of them. I was like, wow. I'd never seen anything like that before. And he didn't share it with anyone. He didn't care. I mean, think how rich that dude is. It's like, this is just.

But then again, by your logic, like that's his. For him to have fun playing blackjack and make it quote unquote hurt a little bit, he's got to be fucking around with that level of money. So this was the best part about it. Well, there's a bunch of best parts. I'll get into the iHeart side of things and everything. But here was a great part. So I finished all of my stuff that I had to do with iHeart. And I'm on that I don't want to spend any money shit.

And I go down to the casino lobby, you know, where the blackjack table is. And I see a guy there that was there earlier and he has way more chips than he had earlier. And he's like, Hey, come sit down and join me. I'm like, I'm not betting. He's like, here, play with this. And he puts $500 in front of me. And I'm like, what? He's like, yeah, just play with this. That's so awkward. Cause you're like, that's a nice gesture, sir. But I'm going to, if I lose your money, I'm going to feel weird. Right. And he's like, yeah, just play with this. That's so awkward because you're like, that's a nice gesture, sir, but if I lose your money, I'm going to feel weird. Right. And he's like, oh, don't worry about it.

And I'm like, okay, sure, fine. I'm like, it's on my mind. I'm like, I don't want to be a dick. This dude just likes somebody offering you a drink and you being like, no, I'm not taking that drink. Right. You know what I mean? So I sit down at the table and I play and I get that thing up to $1,000.

And I turn to him and I go here you go sir i doubled your money i'm out and he goes no no no no no keep it keep it keep it keep it and i'm like the whole thing it's one thing to pay him off and keep the winnings you didn't he wouldn't take the 500 back i gave him all i was trying to give him it all back right he's like keep it keep it here i want you 500 bucks right and he's like no no no no, no, no, keep it because, you know, you bring me luck. We're sitting down. When he said that, I'm like, oh my God, is this one of those what was that movie where Robert Redford sleeps with

Demi Moore for a million dollars? Yeah, he was going to pay you a million dollars to sleep with him. I was like, am I going to get to this? Is this going to be a million dollar movie? Can you imagine if you text me and Casey, you guys, it's a million dollars. It's just a handjob. All I have to do.

All I got to do is shake weight. All I got to do is shake weight. Yeah, just do the shake weight. Babe, you want it in an oven? Think of that kitchen if I get a million from this handy. But I'm thinking that, oh, this is going to go in that direction. Let me get out of this as quick as possible. I don't want to leave this man on.

And he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, please just take it. I'm like, I'm not going to take your money, bro. Get out of here. And he's like, all right, well then sit down at the table and just, you know, I was like, and just, and just gamble it away. And I was like, all right, bet. I'll do that. No problem. So I sit down at the table, but I'm still like, if I'm here any longer, this is going to, this could turn into, I doubt it's going to turn into something, but you never know. I don't want to lead this guy on. Honestly, it's just a weird, like, I'm obligated to hang out with you now thing. Right.

So I gamble that shit away right away, and I get the fuck out of there. You lost it real quick. Real quick. And I say, thank you, and everything like that. And he goes, listen, I want to tell you something, man. The fact that you didn't take the money makes me think that you're a real nice guy. And I just wanted to, and I'm like, gotta go. Oh no. And I just wanted to see, let me see how soft your hands are.

Are you, are your hands calloused? I got to say, since we're talking about iHeart and podcasts that we are nominated, Donald, you might not even know this for an iheart podcast award that's awesome and it's a little bit embarrassing because we're not nominated in it's iheart right and we're an iheart podcast but we're not nominated in podcast of the year right which you would think would be the only category. But that's like Smartless and Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, which I'm about to do for my movie, A Good Person.

Oh, fun. Amazing podcast. And other, you know, Crime Junkie, I'm just mentioning a few, and a bunch I don't know. But then you think, okay, well, that's too bad. Those are huge podcasts. That's okay. Then you scroll down, right?

And you scroll down and you keep scrolling down and you keep scrolling down. If you keep scrolling, please, audience, I'm asking you, keep scrolling. And you're going to get to best TV and film podcast. And there at the bottom of the, is Fake Doctors, Real Friends. How many other podcasts are nominated in our category? One, two, three, four, five, and one of them is Films to be Buried With, which is Brett Goldstein's

wonderful podcast. So if Brett beats this, I'm going to be very pissed. Are you calling his podcast wonderful? It is a very good podcast. It's not as genius as ours. Also, How Did This Get Made, I think, is one of the top podcasts in the country. Oh, man, we're being set up for failure. So check this out.

So I get out there. I do all of this media stuff. I've talked to Xbox. I've talked to Microsoft. I really like what Microsoft is doing. I really think that there's a spot for fake doctors, real friends in Microsoft. I'm just putting Microsoft is doing. I really think that there's a spot for fake doctors, real friends in Microsoft. I'm just putting it out there.

I really feel like there's a spot for fake doctors, real friends. What would the spot be in Microsoft? Well, I mean, they have like video games on Xbox. Right. And we can be ourselves. I'm saying that there are video games out there that specifically have podcasts on them. Really? What's an example? Well, there's.

Daniel probably plays them. Roblox has a podcast on it. It does? Yeah. And so does one of my favorite video games ever. The video game that almost ruined my career. GTA. Because every 12 year old boy, you know,

in the world hated me. Fortnite. Yes. Also has a podcast on it in Fortnite land. There's iHeartland. There's iHeartland in Fortnite. Oh, I want to be there.

And so, but these are the things I'm learning. Right. And then I sat down with, you know, people like Ben and Jerry's. I know that's your favorite ice cream and stuff like that. I love Ben and Jerry's.

And I rubbed it in their face. I was like, if Zach were here right now, he would love to be talking to you guys about some ice cream. I seriously got to say, there's no product I could advertise more genuinely and wholeheartedly than Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I can't have it in my home. It's the equivalent of cocaine for a cocaine addict. Daniel, do you have this issue? A hundred percent. A pint of Chubby Hubby does not last more than a single day.

Yeah, I like Netflix and chill. Then I told you, I go down to like half and I put it away and then I'm back on the couch and I'm just thinking about it. I love these naughty names that Ben and Jerry. I'm like, I'm like, what is it? I'm like, what does it matter if you eat it tomorrow or today? It's all going in the same hole.

Perfect. Sorry, go ahead. And then finally, the day was done. Right. Got on a plane to go back home with Bob Pittman. The CEO of iHeart. The CEO of iHeart. You were on the plane with him?

On the plane with him. Wow. Donald let him get on his own PJ with him. And John Sykes, the president of entertainment enterprises at iHeartMedia. So I'm just saying that's who I was on the plane with. Oh. Oh. Oh, and you didn't say anything embarrassing this whole trip? I might have said some dumb shit.

Oh, look who's decided to join us. Without bangs. I'm so disappointed without bangs. How's Zoe? How's Zoe? Did you guys get bangs together? I actually had to leave Zoe. I was not with her.

I was with Will Packer doing some stuff over there. Oh, I love Will. What the I was not with her I was with Will Packer doing some stuff over there I love Will he has a podcast network at iHeart now I'm helping run the thing it's good times I'm happy for your success but I also

feel needy and miss you and I want you to have everything that's happening to you happen. But I do feel sad when you're not here. You lighten up my world when you send me videos of adorable pugs, Zach. And it is my intention to miss as few of the minutes I get to spend with you guys as possible. Today, 1230, was just the only time anyone could do anything. It was literally impossible. Well, today at 1230,

I had plans to, Joelle. And you know what? I put those plans aside for this one little thing that I have committed to called Fake Doctors, Real Friends Podcast. I'm just putting it out there, Joelle. Spielberg called me and said,

can we meet at 1230 on Thursday? And I said, no, Stephen. Stop it. No. I don't want to be late to Joelle, is what I said to Stephen. He's doing Fableman's 2. The thought of that is hilarious. Speaking of Spielberg, have you seen his movie? Hell yeah. I did see his movie,

yeah. I can't wait to see it. I really want to watch it. I've been waiting to watch it. It's amazing. I'm willing to bet money that it's amazing. You know what movie I did see? What? Violent Knight. Did you see that shit? Not yet.

That shit is fucking fire, dude. Yo, bro. David Harbour. Yo, my man kills it, dude. Yo, yo, listen. You like horror. I didn't know that about you. It's not horror.

This shit is action. I like action adventure. And that's what this bad boy is. This bad boy is action adventure. But it's horror in a way that you, like, close your eyes because you know that the gore is, like, the way these people are about to die is going to be so gross. But it's gory. It's gory, right? It's nasty.

Like, it's gross, gross. That's not my Steve. Face ripping. Oh, but the movie is so funny. It's gory, right? It's nasty. It's gross, gross. That's not my Steeves. Face ripping. Oh, but the movie's so funny. It is your Steeves, I promise you, and it's got so much heart. Listen, these are movies that I'm going to go out there and... It's got gore and heart. I've never... Listen, I've never

experienced... I think, like, whatchamacallit, Slither is like another movie that has gore and heart in it. You know what I mean? It does. James Gunn? That was his earlier, one of his earlier movies starring the lovely Elizabeth Banks,

by the way. Anyway, that's a movie that's gory and has heart. But this one, oh man, Violent Night. Yo, David Harbour, good job, bro.

And I think it's a British movie too because it's like... And John Leguizamo, good job, bro. I know think it's a British movie, too, because it's like, and John Leguizamo, good job, bro. I know a movie, because it's hard to talk about movies on here because I know you don't watch that many. But there was one that I saw that I know was probably your favorite of the year that was magnificent, which was Pinocchio. Oh. I love it. Oh, it's so good.

I loved it. Oh, my God. Listen. Oh, my heart. Okay, so when I first started animating, Robot Chicken started at Shadow Machine. So my first time ever interning was at Shadow Machine when it was in Los Angeles. It's since moved to Portland. Corey and Alex are no longer in LA from what I understand. I'm just going to give them the shout outs. Corey and Alex, great job. However, Guillermo del Toro and you connected to make this project. It's amazing. And you got some of the best animators on it. And I understand why you moved to Portland, too, because that's where a lot of the talent is.

I get that. Well, I think a lot of the animation is because I watched the behind the scenes was done in Mexico. Some of it's done in Mexico as well. There were four animation studios involved in the production and Gamer actually created the production house in Mexico as a way to showcase the talent that's down there. So now there's like an international animation studio. There's always been good animation in Mexico, sincerely. Like a lot of the accounts that I follow are south of the border. Every time I see a stop motion movie, I just am blown away by the amount of work.

And this one took it to the next level. I just could not believe the amount of artistry. And then I watched, I was so into it, and I know this is your passion, I went and watched There's a Making of documentary, which really just blows your mind, the amount of man-slash-woman hours that went into making this movie like they've

been recently in like the last i'll say 20 years there have been like four you know stop motion is an art form that not a lot of people can do or not a lot of people want to do that was one of the best examples of stop motion animation i've ever seen in my life. It was just incredible. So we should get into the show, but before we do, I just want to say, if you haven't gone to see my trailer on YouTube, please go check it out. Yeah, it's one of the most anticipated movies of the 2023. You know that, right? Well, it's been on a couple of those lists. Well, well.

It's exciting. Well, well. Well, by the way, Florence is on, I don't know if you saw, but Florence Pugh, our star, is on the cover a couple of those lists. It's exciting.

So that's all the announcements. And now we're going to talk about the TV show Scrubs. But one more thing before we do. Zach and Donald are gay newlyweds in house arrest.

Perfect. Five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made. About a bunch of docs and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said here's a story that we all should know. All right. My dumb luck. What an episode. Great episode.

Yeah, it was a great episode. Written by the lovely and talented Asim Batra. Yes, directed by Rick Blue. Directed by Rick Blue, who was one of our main editors on all of the main eight seasons of the show. And also directed a few. A lovely guy. And he actually was a featured background performer. Yeah.

He played the cafeteria worker. Sounds good how that rolled off your tongue. Now, listen, I got to say, when we were shooting this very famous sequence in terms of Scrubs lore, famous, the love train, I didn't think it was that funny. Neither did I.

People love this. Yes. I have seen this gif. It's one of the top gifs that get sent to me or i see on the web scrubs related is us with the old people so the senior citizens in the story need to be moved out of the geriatric wing because it's something is being done to it and we have to move them around and they're wandering all over the place and they're taking forever. Yes. And Turk and JD are like cattle dogs that are trying to wrangle the cattle. I like that.

I like that. Cattle dogs. Yeah. And the cattle. And we say, this is so tricky. If only there was another way. And then we cut to the most random fantasy. No, she's like, if only we could somehow form a train.

And then you're like, all aboard, everybody. The love train. And then you're like, all aboard, everybody. And then you literally, J.D. turns to camera and goes, the love train. Yeah, right into the lens. Yeah. Which is, as you know, we don't do that much. Right into the lens with that sparkly 70s hat. People all over the world, join hands. Yes.

Start a love train. Yes. Love train Yeah, so They formed a train of wheelchairs Of love But listen, I remember shooting this But like, a train of wheelchairs Like a train of shopping carts

At the supermarket But you're riding like the locomotive. Yes. I remember this long ago thinking, I will do this, but I don't think this is that funny. I remember this too. And I remember going, you know what? I trust Bill. Lean into it.

And this many years later, it's something that gets sent to me all the time as a as a gif on on the interwebs i guess people everybody loves a train i mean everybody everybody loves a little ass play let me find it everybody likes a little ass play yeah okay it's a little early in the new year and everybody loves a little train right well not everyone loves train in the sexual way donald that's's what you mean. That's not what I meant. Oh, I do love trains, regular trains. Like, you know, like little like not even if it's not even if you like riding on a train. If you see a little train set going around something like, oh, look at the little train.

Well, actually, there's trains, as you know, there's a train subplot in my film, a Morgan Freeman's character. It's his hobby. Don't give it away. That's not a spoiler. It's in the trailer that you can now go watch on YouTube. But I love trains. I had a model train set as a kid, and I love trains.

Anyway, so that's this. Now, Kelso is really in a bad place because it's been revealed to the board how old he is because he was lying. And now they want to kick him out. Yeah, he's 65 years old. And he's supposed to phase out at this point in time. I guess at Sacred Heart Hospital, that's when they want you to retire. And he was sort of lying to hide it. And the first time we see Kel,

so he wipes his hands. Well, he's telling Ted how lovely his jacket is as he's touching it. You know, he's like, this is such a lovely jacket, Ted. It kind of reminded me of the Eddie Murphy line in Coming to America. This is beautiful.

What is that, velvet? Yeah, and he goes, Ted says it's a polynylon blend. Well, anyway, we learned that Kelso was just drying his hands on Ted. On his jacket. On his jacket. And poor Ted, he's been beaten down for so many years by Kelso. And he doesn't know yet that the board is forcing Kelso to retire. We do learn that Kelso stole an MRI machine.

Yes. And is hiding it in his basement. In his basement. Jewel, can you find out what the average cost of an MRI machine is? Yes, I can. Listen, I know that GE made- It must be a million dollars. I know that GE made the MRI machines that I did.

Yeah, so look for a GE one. Yeah. I know GE makes them. Yeah. But I imagine it's got to be a million dollars for an MRI machine, at least. At least. Okay. Now, Kelso has one in his basement.

What does it say, Joelle? Sorry, I've got used and new, and I didn't know you could buy them like cars. No, I want a new. I want a new. I don't want a used one. Do you think you can buy one for your house if you're just a regular Joe, or do you need to be a hospital? I mean, I'm sure there's some, that's like a magnetic field in there.

I'm sure there's something that has to be. Right. Well, anyway, Joel will find out the price. But the point is, Kelso stole one and has it in his basement. I think Joel found out the price. So you can go as cheap if you go generic as $150,000 or as expensive as $1.2 million for a state-of-the-art 3D. Well, I'm guessing this is Sacred Heart, so he probably has a $150,000 version. Well, no, or you could look at it like he ordered a brand new $1.5 million one.

And just cut that shit. How do you sell it on the black market? I mean, it must be tricky to be like, go on eBay. Got an MRI. Yeah, go on eBay. Got an MRI. Yeah. Go on eBay with an MRI machine. With a stolen MRI machine. Right.

Right. No questions asked. But you do have to come pick it up. You have to come pick it up in my basement. Can you imagine? They're like, oh, great. Well, our hospital, we just raised enough money to afford our first MRI machine. All right, great.

You need to come by my basement. Come pick it up. All right, so Carla and Elliot are really committed to helping because they both feel bad, and they spend the whole episode trying to- Well, Elliot feels bad because she's the one that actually outed Kelso's age by throwing that birthday party for him. Right. And they are going to team up because they feel really bad,

and they're going to try and rally. The problem with trying to rally everyone is that everybody hates him. He's the ultimate bad guy in the hospital, and no one is interested in helping save his job other than these two ladies. Well, actually, this whole episode is about teaming up. You know, the whole episode, literally, like it's a team up. JD and Turt, the usual team up. They go on a quest.

Elliot and Carla try to team up the whole hospital. They try to Avengers assemble the situation for Kelso. So they try to assemble the hospital. then uh you know there's always the loner and that's john c mcginley in both stories dr cox is the loner and is the glue to uh figuring out the dilemma i guess we would say well i want to say in the spirit of the theme you were saying, there's also Kelso teaming up with the polar opposite of him, who is a brand new baby-faced intern named Boone, who he sort of kidnaps in a way and makes him sit on a bench while he stares up at the hospital and reminisces for the whole hospital. I just got to say, you know, we talk about how wonderful of an actor all of our castmates are and stuff like that.

Ken Jenkins really does shine in this episode. Yeah. He really does tell some great stories. And he takes you on a roller coaster, too. You know what I mean? Like, just when you think he's being really serious and he's, you know, confiding all of his, you know, insec insecurities and bone and everything like that. He drops him with a freaking jump scare. He has so many levels in this.

Ken does. And one, it's a testament to Ken as an actor, but also to Asim and Bill and the staff of writers as writers on the show. Because we're seven years in and still able to, like at the end of the show, I still got emotional. Yeah. Because of all of the groundwork Ken laid in the episode. And it's what a feat to make you feel such empathy for Kelso by the end of this episode. Because, you know, that you don't really, there's very few moments where,

You know, that you don't really, there's very few moments where throughout this episode, throughout the show so far times a day and having to let people down so many times a day that he's built up this crazy thick armor. You learn the origin story of the armor. The first person that he ever killed, like he says, it's a really dark conversation but he asked spoon have you ever killed anyone have you killed anyone yet he's like you'll remember he's i remember mine he's like i had a young girl come into the hospital and i thought it was appendicitis turns out she was pregnant and he fucked that up and the girl died dude yeah she was he says she was ectopic and she was bleeding internally and he didn't know. And that was his first death and he's never forgotten about it.

But that's what caused him to build a wall. Like I, you know, how do you come back from that? You know how you come back from that? You bury it and you come back the next day and you go at your job again, you know? Right. Well, there's a really sweet moment. We're jumping ahead. But after he's spoken, all these really meaningful and funny stories about the hospital and how much it's taken a toll on him, the kid stands up and he says, is this going to be the – I'm paraphrasing. He says, is this going to be like a horrible 20 years? And he goes, no, you're going to love it.

Yeah. I thought that to love it. Yeah. I thought that was really sweet. Yeah. He had some, some of the stories were just, you know, wonderful. I found, we got to read one because it's so crazy and it's on Scrubs Wiki. I wasn't going to write the whole thing down, but Scrubs Wiki has it, so we'll read it when we get there.

So let's go back. So Turk and JD are poking the bear. The bear is Dr. Cox, who cannot diagnose his patient. This patient's been coming back to the hospital for years now, and Cox keeps sending him away undiagnosed. Yeah, Cox is stumped. The patient's name is Alex, and Cox is rarely stumped, but he just can't figure this out. And

Turk and JD are just loving this because he's Mr. Know-it-all, he's Mr. Cocky, and they decide that they're going to poke the bear and fuck with him because he can't figure it out. And then... Also, not only that, Ted, you were saying this earlier,

Ted doesn't know that Kelso is no longer going to be working at the hospital. And when he finds out, he goes on a naked run. Yes. Strips down to nothing and goes for a naked run throughout the hospital yelling, I'm free. I'm free. I'm free through the hospital hallways. Which is hilarious. I'm free.

I'm free through the hospital hallways. Which is hilarious. And then Rick, below the director, cleverly hides his junk when a guy leans over with his head. Several times. Yeah, there's really clever ways to cover Sam's groin as he runs naked through the hospital and out the front door until. Where he gets hit by a van driven by the janitor and bites his tongue off. He bites his tongue off. And not only that, he stands up.

He does that hilarious spinning fall. Yeah. See that? Yeah. He does. Sam Lloyd. When he passes out. When he passes out. Sam Lloyd does such a funny physical comedy pass out, which is like a, it's like, it's like a spinning turn fall.

And then you see, you see blood, blood, right. He gets hit by the coach. So, so he gets hit by the truck. The janitor comes out and goes,

are you okay, buddy? And he stands up and goes and nods. Yes. And he goes, are you not talking? Because, uh,

because you're, you bit your tongue off and your mouth is filling with blood. And then we cut back to Ted. And now he's like a trombone player with his mouth, talking because you bit your tongue off and your mouth is filling with blood. And then we cut back to Ted. And now he's like a trombone player with his mouth blown all the way up with blood. And he nods and he goes, oh, are you about to pass out? And Ted passes out with the spinning pass out. And when he falls, all the blood in his mouth splats up into the air.

Yeah. And it looks like, you know, today they'd probably do that in post-effects but it looks like that was practical right it looks like somebody was there with a packet and just yeah just fucking hit it and it just flies up in the foreground that was funny and then that's the last thing i want to say that's the cold open but i want to say there's one thing else that we didn't talk about which was um oh johnny c does the thing with the with the hold the um the bungee cord right and he snaps it at me and but I don't care and then you and I are hugging from the adrenaline because we're just so we're so adrenaline up because we had the balls to fuck with Dr. Cox and then I'm I while I'm hugging you go, you smell like an athlete. Yes.

There are a lot of people out there who know what an athlete smells like. Well, JD doesn't know, really, because he's not an athlete. But he imagines that that's what an athlete smells like. I was going to get nasty. All right. I'm not going to. I was going to get nasty, but I'm not going to. Well, we don't need you to get nasty. It right. I'm not going to. I was going to get nasty, but I'm not going to. Well, we don't need you to get nasty. It's too early in the new year.

People's ears are still fresh. Is it too early to get nasty? Don't get nasty yet. Is it too early to get nasty? There's a funny line where Kelso, the kid. Oh, that shit's hilarious. He's trying to avoid Kelso. And he goes

I don't care if the cure for cancer was laughter and you had Nipsey Russell in your backpack pocket in your back pocket

now the kids might not know who Nipsey Russell is but he was a very funny comic actor he was in a great movie Wildcats many great movies

that was Wildcats but he was also in The Wiz he played the was also in The Wiz. He played the Tin Man in The Wiz. Yeah. But I know what your, your favorite catchphrase

of his is, ride, ride. Hey, I got to see Goldie Hawn over break because I had dinner with,

with Kate and her mom and I got to, with a healthy buzz on, tell her how much I loved Wildcats as a child. Oh, God, dude. No, but she was-

Did you talk about the bathtub scene? Did you talk about the bathtub scene? No. No, but she- You know what I love about- When I was a kid, that was the best part of Wildcats for me. Fuck the football, Goldie Hawn with a towel trying to wrap her body in that shit. She was so beautiful.

Oh, my gosh. One thing I love about Goldie Hawn is she's so down to talk about old stories. She doesn't ever feel like one of those people like you're bothering. Like, can we just talk about Wildcats? And she was so into chatting about old stories and telling fun anecdotes. And so, anyway. Little did people know. I really loved Wildcats when I was-

Wildcats. Goldie Hawn and everything. Well, Wildcats had the introduction of two other young actors by the name of Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. Both of them starring Wildcats. They go on to make another great movie called Money Train. But some of you might be like, Donald, I thought you were going to say White Man Can't Jump. I was.

But Money Train is Jennifer Lopez's big introduction. I forgot that Woody and Wesley had made so many movies together. Oh, man. White Man Can't Jump is by far their best movie that they made together with them and Rosie. But their big break, both of their big break was Wildcats? I believe that was the movie. That's the first time I had ever seen them was Wildcats. How about Eddie at the Golden Globes?

That shit was hilarious. Amazing. That shit was hilarious. When he said, pay your taxes, mind your business. Well, he's right, though. But he's right, though. If you nail it, at least the first two were right. Pay your taxes and mind your business is something that everybody out there should do a little

bit more of. Pay your taxes about Wesley Snipes? I mean, pay your taxes about anybody, man. Oh, I thought it was a Wesley Snipes joke. I thought it was Wesley Snipes first, too. Well, him and Wesley make movies together and from what I understand, I don't know. I'm not saying...

This goes into the next part of the conversation. Mind your business. That shit was the most poignant freaking... No, but then Eddie so geniusly, he kept that shit low. If you look at that speech, this is the genius of Eddie Murphy. It was like,

why is Eddie barely just telling his speech like this volume? And it was all a long buildup for the last fucking Will Smith joke. Yeah. Yeah. Keep Will Smith's wife's name out your motherfucking mouth. You didn't laugh at that? I laughed hard.

You know what? I thought the Globes was very, very, obviously it's going to be different now because they have a lot of, was very very obviously it's going to be different now because they have a lot of at least they feel like they have a lot of making up to do to get you know the you know it was kind of cringe yeah but it was cringe in the right way these are things that should be talked about you know what i mean like all these things that everybody has a hard time talking about let's talk about that shit so it's no longer we no longer have a hard time talking about the shit you know what i mean joelle instead of burying it what are your thoughts on it uh it was interesting uh a lot of people who said they weren't going to come show it up no names but i was like okay interesting it does

seem like the org is trying to make some good changes which i think is all you can really ask them to do i think it's important that we have international press in hollywood in a space for them to voice you know know, what they love. And it was nice to see a whole bunch of international films like RRR won an award, which was great. So I loved all of that. I think hiring Gerard Carmichael is probably the smartest thing they could have done because that kid is so smart and funny. He's different. He is real different.

He's different. Which is why he's intriguing. And so I think having him set the tone really said, okay, like, listen, it might be weird and awkward tonight, but we're trying to get back on the right foot. And again, I just, if you mess up that bad, what else can you do but just try to make it right? I feel like everybody who thought it was, who thought it was what the stuff that he was saying was cringeworthy thought about it the next day still, though. You know what I mean? The stuff that he was saying was cringeworthy. Thought about it the next day still, though. You know what I mean?

Every point that he made last night was enough for me, at least, to be like, damn, remember when he said that shit? How funny was Jennifer Coolidge, though? Wonderful speech. Come on, man. But both times. She comes out for her presentation monologue. I laughed so hard. She's just so wacky and funny and then her acceptance speech where

when they kept cutting the mic white sobbing i just like that was that was that was one of the most amazing things i just like that she was like and they were like hey you jennifer what about when she's like my neighbors my neighbors are finally talking to me and i'm like hey i didn't know there were so many parties on my street but She's like, my neighbors are finally talking to me. They're like, hey. I didn't know there were so many parties on my street, but they're all inviting me to parties now. That one and then Key's freaking acceptance speech. Yeah, when he thanks Spielberg. Short round from freaking Indiana Jones. That was so moving.

And not only is pointing out Spielberg, but just talking about how he thought his career was over. He thought that's all that would ever happen. If you haven't seen it, listeners, go YouTube. At least that. That was so moving. And so was Jennifer Coolidge's. You know what my favorite part was, though? When Mike White was up there and he's like, listen, I haven't had any food because the food was gone.

So I'm drunk. But then he points it on. He goes, you all passed. Meaning like all the actors had passed on all the roles in the thing. You didn't see that, Daniel? No, I did not. That's very funny. It was so funny.

He's like, I want to thank the amazing cast we have, but let's just be honest. He starts pointing at all the celebrities in the audience he's like you all passed that's funny that's wonderful you know i i really hope they can get it back on track i know that i know that you know there's a lot of things that need to change as far as uh hollywood foreign press. You know, there are a lot of, I would say, you know, I don't think it represents people very well yet. And eventually it will. But as far as the show goes, that shit was very entertaining.

And I think the cringe that you were talking about was part of the entertainment. It was enough for me to stay and watch. Like, I wonder what Gerard's gonna say next. No, but some of the cringe, I don't mean, I just mean, like, this poor piano player, right? So they decided to have an amazingly talented piano player. And what's

weird about that, unless it's canned music that just comes on, people start directing their ire about being played off to this woman. Like, it was her decision to be like, weird about that unless it's canned music that just comes on people start directing their their ire about being played off to this woman like it was her decision to be like and now i'll start playing and i just thought that was so uncomfortable it's like guys she's being cued to start playing it still was hilarious when when uh what's her name michelle michelle yo says hey stop playing that piano i could kick your ass it was like funny until this morning because I follow that piano player on IG and she was talking about, you know, just it was a big opportunity for her to play at the Golden

Globes. What did she say? Because I felt bad for her. Like people were directing their anger at her. Like she has anything to do with someone in her ear saying start playing them off. She didn't say anything specific other than to thank Gerard for coming to speak up for her toward the end of the ceremony. She said she was grateful for that.

Yeah. Well, anyway, it was... That shit was entertaining, man. Regardless of how, regardless of, you know, whatever it is. And I don't mean entertaining like what a great show. I mean entertaining like this is... I can't turn this off. Yeah, I cannot turn this off. I cannot turn away from this. There were some great show. I mean, entertaining. I can't turn this off. Yeah, I cannot turn this off.

I cannot turn away from this. There were some great speeches. You know who was so funny was Regina Hall. Yes. Was she a stand-up before or something? No, she's just amazing. She's just iconically funny. She's just amazing.

She was acting like a stand-up. No, she's always been. A lot of people don't know this, but not only is she... Look, I know her as a comedic actor, And like a lot of people don't know this, but she's not only is she. Look, I know her as a comedic actor. And now she's starting to get her roses, her flowers for being a dramatic actor. But she's always been a comedic actor. No, but when she was clowning on Kevin Costner and she was like, let's all pray for him in Santa Barbara. With the mudslides.

Do you think she had a buzz on? Or I couldn't tell if she was just clowning on people because she had a buzz. No, that's just Regina. If you watch any of her interviews, I'll find a clip and send it to you. There's an interview where she just starts, like no questions are being directed to her.

It's like one of those big cast interviews. So she just starts flirting with the cast members and pulling from their questions to the point where they can't answer anymore. It's so funny. She's just great. She's so naturally talented. She's't answer anymore. It's so funny. She's just great. She's so naturally talented. She's always been amazing.

She was so charming. And she had me rolling. Like, let's all pray for him sheltering in place in Santa Barbara. All right, we got to go to break. We promise when we come back, we will talk more about the television show Scrubs. Fuck your sound effects machine. We'll be right back.

But you looked great You rocked that fedora I'm trying the way, fedoras look dumb on a lot of people, but you looked great. You rocked that fedora. I'm trying to say, man. The joke didn't work. The joke didn't work because you looked great. No, I said, no, he says, Turk says, I bet I look good in a fedora. And then he puts the fedora on.

I've been trying to tell Spielberg and Lucas that shit for years. Ever since I saw him. That you look good in a fedora? I could be Indiana Jones's illegitimate son. You know what I mean? I saw her. That you look good in a fedora? I could be Indiana Jones's illegitimate son. You know what I mean? I'm sure. Don't you think Indy over the years probably has some children he doesn't know about?

Absolutely. And the young boy goes by Alabama Jackson, obviously. Right. It's already there. He was like, I'm not going to use that Jones name. You already gave him Black Stormtrooper. Why don't you, they're going to take this from you too. No.

Listen. You're going to hear like a now. Donald Glover is Alabama Jackson. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. My heart just dropped so deep into my chest.

Oh, my God. That would be, that's a nightmare. That's, oh, God. Yo, look, I've seen, listen, now I'm about to digress, but I've seen the trailer for Indiana Jones, and that shit looks phenomenal. I can't wait, man. By the way, speaking, sorry, go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. They find a way to make me fucking love because Crystal Skull was shit. But they found a way to make me care once again about Indiana Jones.

All right. I was going to take us down another wormhole, but let's focus on the show. Go ahead. You were going to say about Harrison Ford. Go on. I'm listening. I was going to say I was blessed enough because I am hosting a panel at the Paley Center in New York for Shrinking at the end of the month. I think it's the 24th audience.

If you care, you can Google and look and come. But the cast of Shrinking is doing a Paley Center panel, and I am the moderator. Yeah. That's amazing. With producer, writer Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein and Neil Goldman and all the cast. I'm not positive Harrison's coming, but at the very least, all the amazing cast members are coming. So anyway, I just have to say, and everyone's going to say I'm biased because I love Bill and I directed one of the episodes. But I had the privilege of watching the 10 episodes of the show.

And I'm not just saying this. It's fucking amazing. Yes. It's so good. Isn't it? Right. Jessica Williams is one of the stars with Jason Siegel, Harrison Ford,

Krista Miller. Michael Urie is in it. It's, it's, it's really, really good. It's, and it's the bill specialty. You are laughing one second and swiping tears. The next. in it. It's really, really good. And it's the Bill specialty.

You are laughing one second and swiping tears the next. Oh, no. I'm so excited. It is so good, you guys. So get ready for shrinking. It's coming end of January. Nice. All right.

So, dun, dun, dun, scrubs. Ted bit off his tongue. And we can see him. The women have prescribed Painkillers And we see him in the back Chugging painkillers So we know where that's gonna go

That's way too much Yeah that's way too much Right there bro They tell him to take One every like six hours And we just see him like Doing shots of him Yeah that's

That's not a good That's not But if you bit off your tongue I mean You're probably in a lot of pain Yeah but that's But that's too much That's way too much.

That's way too much. Jordan gives them some advice. She says, you know, what is her advice? She says, you got to rally everybody, but you're not going to get cocked because he's not going to change his mind. But she tells them that, look, there's a board meeting, and if you really are going to try, you got to rally some some folks around the

hospital who care and they're they're having a very hard time finding anybody who cares well they also did well they found somebody early on and they dissed him because of his job and his what he does at the hospital but they didn't realize that the janitor's the fucking plug yo right that's the one that's going to get you connected to everything. Right. And then they had to come back and, well, they didn't have to kiss ass. All Elliot had to say was, please, janitor. And he was like, all right, I'll do it.

Yeah, because he's obsessed with Elliot. Because he loves her. His love for Elliot continues. Because he loves her. He loves her. And all she has to say is please and smile. And he's back in to help. So the janitor, although I don't think the janitor ends up really helping, does he? He doesn't, he can't rally anybody.

Turns out that it's really Cox that's going to bring everybody together. Right, but I forgot if there was, was there ever an end to the story of the janitor even trying? No. Because he didn't get Crazy Eyes Margo. He didn't get. He didn't get the Todd. Yeah, he didn't get any of the trust group. What does he call his advisors?

The Brain Trust. The Brain Trust. Thank you. He didn't get any of the Brain Trust. He didn't even get Ted. What about that guy that he took the egg salad bath with? Troy. He didn't get him.

What about Marty? Also, which is Lloyd. Lloyd wasn't there. Yeah. Nobody. I don't there. Yeah. Nobody. I don't know why the janitor was unable to come up with anybody. And that story was just abandoned. The janitor failed.

Big time. Yeah. Now, okay. Elliot has developed a, well, it hasn't developed. For some reason, Elliot believes that if you call somebody slick, they'll do anything for you. Yes. Yes. And she says it works on guy doctors and lesbians?

Yes. Yes. She says people enjoy being called slick. And she says it to a woman who we can infer must be a lesbian because Elliot's theory works. And the woman smiles when she's called slick. I do like being called slick. I'm not going to lie.

I don't know if I like being called slick. Sure. If it's by the right person, you love it. If Tommy Lee Jones calls you slick, you're going to be like. Oh, yeah. Tommy Lee Jones. I was so afraid of Tommy Lee Jones. We were making a movie together and I just stayed away from him.

I was so scared of him. Such a presence. That's me in every movie I make. Not that he was anything other than kind to me. But he was just such a dominating presence. And he's such a movie star. That's me with every movie I make. I'm scared of every actor.

You don't talk to any of the actors? That's bullshit. You're so friendly. Yo, Whoopi Goldberg when we were doing Homies Pomoni, made it so that we could have, she made it. Look, this Italian lady was so, not in love, but infatuated with Whoopi Goldberg. She closed her Italian deli down early

so she could make a lunch for Whoopi and her friends. And Whoopi was like, Donald, you come with me to this lunch. And I was like, okay. And then I hid. I hid. Because you were afraid of Whoopi? Because I didn't want to sit down and have a conversation. I just wanted to sit in my trailer and nap.

Oh. Yes. You see what I'm saying? That's bad, though, because you want to savor those moments where you could have gotten some advice from a legend. Whoopi looked at me. She was like, you're the biggest punk i've ever met in my life i am i am i am a punk whoopi you're right and from that day forward i made my i made it my business to never do that again so like if denzel you want to hang out again if denzel, you want to hang out again? If Denzel, you ever want to hang out? Shit. Well, shoot. Everybody back in the day who I was like-

You better not be telling me there's an anecdote where Denzel asked you to hang out and you hid. There is no anecdote where I hid from Denzel, dude. All right, good. There is no anecdote. All right, good. That would be the dumbest. I could never do that.

Listen, there's a really random shot in this that I texted to the group because I just wanted to be able to talk about it. There's a moment when Kelso is just talking about the hospital. He's talking about remembering all of the people that he's lost over the years. And he says something to the effective. I'm sure they're all looking back at me. And he said, I see them still. Right.

But he's talking about the dead, the deceased patients. I see them still. Right. But he's talking about the dead, the deceased patients. But if you look, if audience, if you pause it at 10, 34, 10 minutes, 34 seconds in, what you see actually in the upper, one of the upper windows, barely seen, it's like an Easter egg, is the cast. The key cast standing there looking down at him. It was very, very subtle. And I don't know how many people noticed it ever. But I, of course course am watching it on a computer monitor very close to my face so i saw it

it was an art it was an art it was an artistic choice by rick blue i um but why would the cast be in the picture i don't really understand it i think that they're looking i guess they're looking down on him lovingly i don't think it's in the real world i think it's in kelso's imagination that is that his key co-workers are looking down on him lovingly i don't know i have another rationalization for it i don't know or is it that they're all dead he's the only one that lived well that would be a twist that doesn't really pay off what a twist all right so i want to just read to you briefly this, I'll keep it quick, but this thing that he says to Boone about one of his anecdotes, he says, when I was an intern, they made us work 60 hour shifts. Quite a few colleagues got drummed up because they couldn't

cope. The rest of us were so sleep deprived, we could barely manage to stay sane. I'll never forget the day we caught Seth Finkel gently cradling a cadaver head, which he swore belonged to his ex-girlfriend, Millie. Then he laughs. A year later, Seth actually did kill Millie. Ironically, Millie donated her body to science, and that spring we caught another intern cradling her dead head. And then he laughs and goes, life's little cycles. So creepy.

That is some twisted, weird shit. That's actually his first monologue that he talks about. That's his first story that he gives. Oh, I didn't know where it fell. I just remember thinking, like, oh my God, I have to find that on the interwebs. He has a bunch of the pregnant girl. That's his next one.

Yeah. And, you know. So they lose the urine and Cox has given them urine from the mysterious patient. They can't seem to solve his problem. And Cox gives them the urine to go get tested. Like, be useful, go get this tested. Well, JD and Turk are on all their weird usual adventures. As they digress like us. As they digress like us.

And somehow on all their adventures. It's amazing that these guys in the world of the show are considered amazing doctors because what the fuck are they doing so much of the day? But anyway, they lose the urine and JD leaves it on the banister of the back ramp of the hospital, which seems very irresponsible. But thank God he does. And nobody knocks it over. Nobody touches it.

Nobody grabs it. It's the emergency entrance. It's the emergency entrance to the hospital. And JD leaves a vial of urine sitting there. But thank goodness he does because the UV light turns it purple. And now they're so excited. They're able to diagnose the patient, Cox's patient. And Turk wearing his fedora says, I say I'm going to Google purple pee.

And you go, Google that shit. Google that shit. But he doesn't say Google that shit. No, you do. There's no way he says Google that shit. Oh, what do you say then? That's how I remembered it. You probably went, Google it! What did you say?

Anyway, I laughed out loud. It was funny. And now it turns out on Scrum's Wiki, we're pronouncing this disease wrong. Way to go, Trevor. Nobody cares, Trevor. No, they do care. The doctors and nurses.

Only Trevor did. Nobody gave a shit until Trevor did. That's like somebody saying Faison, Faison. Well, I'd give a shit about that. Never mind. All right. Well, listen, all the medical professionals who know the correct pronunciation were probably pissed off. So here it is.

medical professionals who know the correct pronunciation were probably pissed off. So here it is. Although JD has pronounced it correctly in a previous episode, because this was in a previous episode, both JD and Dr. Cox pronounce acute intermittent porphyria incorrectly. They pronounce the last part porphyria, while it is pronounced porphyria. So it's porphyria, announced porphyria so it's porphyria acute intermittent porphyria everybody who's learning if you're a doctor if you're a doctor in training you now know you learned something on fake doctors real friends there you go i'm so glad we cleared that up guys um what about when we beatbox and you make a melody and it's the scrubs theme song that was pretty meta that was pretty cool how about 85 was supposed to be a good year for bob kelso turns out it wasn't how about carla's boobs look like a sea animal yeah let's talk about that so turk turk says that carla's he prefers

carla's left boob because it looks like a sea lion's face. No, a sea lion's face. Yes. And then JD says it does. Turk drew it for me. Yes. Which is so random as hell. But then it really pays off when JD offers to show Dr. Cox the picture of said boob. And he holds up the picture of her boob and it does look like a sea lion why does her boob look like a sea lion does it have whiskers

I guess it does I didn't want to say anything but I guess it does I guess it has whiskers and a mole on it or two moles on it for the eyes it has two moles and her areola must have some whiskers on it I can't believe Judy wasn't like fuck no Mariola must have some whiskers on it.

I can't believe Judy wasn't like, fuck no, that is not my breast. Listen, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not going to turn down a boob that looks like a sea lion. Really? If my wife had a boob that looked like a sea lion, I'd be like, to the boob every night. You wouldn't say, honey, let me grab this whisker real quick? No, I'd talk to the sea lion i'll be like you wouldn't say honey every night say honey let me grab this whisker real quick no i'll be i've talked to the sea lion oh my word by the way i love sea lions so cute joelle i send joelle so many um we we like we both like um bulldogs and staffordshire terriers and any kind of bulldog and and A sea lion looks like a bulldog?

Yes, they're similar looking. Between a staffie and a sea lion, they're like cousins. Do you know what the cutest animal on the planet is? Baby sea lion. A baby seal baby. Or sea otter. Sorry, I'm thinking of a sea otter. And so when Cox finally explains the diagnosis to the patient,

he's relieved and he smiles. And he says, knowing what it is, Cox is like, why are you smiling? And he says, because knowing what it is makes it so much easier to deal with. Which gives Cox kind of an epiphany because he's been reluctant to help with saving Kelso's job. And he realizes that the enemy he knows is better than the one he doesn't. he realizes is that the enemy he knows is better than the one he doesn't. And he knows how to handle. He knows how to work Kelso and get what he wants. Well, I'm going to say this. I agree with that though. A hundred percent, man. When it comes to ailments, that is, because I remember I had like this tickle in the back of my throat and I thought I couldn't, I didn't know what it was. And I was freaking out and I was going crazy about it and everything. And I went I couldn't, I didn't know what it was. And I was freaking out and I was going crazy about it and everything.

And I went to the ear, nose and throat doctor and turns out I had acid reflux. And I didn't know that acid reflux could show up in that form where it doesn't feel like a burning sensation in your throat. It feels like you have an obstruction. Right. And so just to know that alone and when it happens now instead of me being like oh you know what i mean you instantly go to you have like something really bad don't you think well i don't think i'm alone in this situation i think like that's most americans it's just a lot of americans are scared to go to the doctor and find out what's going on with right i i i i was on web md like like going down a rabbit hole with my diagnosis which i know doctors love when you do

that but i had lots of theories on what i had that's the best when you go into the doctor's office it's like all right look so i was on web indeed oh i was this is what i think it is i think it's right this but if it's not that then it's definitely diverticulitis but if it's not diverticulitis it's probably just strep i know but i have some deed my shit i went I went deep. I went deep on like, I was like so proud of myself. I had evidence to bring to him. I was like, look at the pictures and look at this and look at this and look at this. And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's just strep.

But yeah, I was like, no, no, no. Look, look at my evidence. You know that, you know, that like that classic meme of, I think it's from It's Sunny, right? With the guy where he's pointing at the crazy map of evidence he's put on his wall. Right. Yeah, I was like that with all my pictures. All right, we're almost done. So then Kelso goes to the meeting and no one is turned up.

But then we cut back into a full circle. Cox has brought everyone on the love train. We cut back into a full circle. Cox has brought everyone on the love train. And we see all the key people from the hospital, the doctors, are riding on the love train. And Snoop Dogg is riding with earphones and jamming. So is McHead? Yeah. Oh, there.

Beardface. Beardface. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody shows up for Kelso at the end. And they convince the board to let Kelso stay on. But throughout the whole episode, you know, Kelso's talking about how much he loves the hospital, but he's also talking about how he just wished that, you know, it's not that he's getting fired. He just wished that he could leave on his terms.

Right. You know? Exactly. getting fired he just wished that he could leave on his terms right you know exactly and and when the staff shows up for him they convince the board that he should stay and this gives kelso the opportunity to leave on his terms exactly and he says shove it up your ass rodney Exactly. And he says, shove it up your ass, Rodney. Rodney. That's a funny name, man. I'm sorry, Rodney.

And then he grabs his own portrait off the wall. Yes. And takes it home. A little tiny thing that bothered me was that there was a lamp that's on the portrait, right? Because it has like a portrait lamp on the frame. And when he pulls it off the wall, there's no wiring or anything related to the lamp. It couldn't be battery operated? Who would? No.

Okay. It just bothered me. I wanted to see. Take that up with Patrick. I guess the Patrick I would have I guess the easiest thing Would have been to just Delete

From the scene The lamp So you don't have to deal With the problem of it But if you're gonna have the lamp We need to see it A wire that needs to be cut Or ripped out of the wall

You need to take this up With set dressing Yeah Somebody fucked up It's sort of a crossover The second he touches it Donald It becomes a prop So it's a crossover Between set dressing And props It's sort of a crossover. The second he touches it, Donald, it becomes a prop.

So it's a crossover between set dressing and props. It's me specialty. Dealing with clocks and wheels. Let's hear about another song that America loves. What you trying to get into a day or soon?

podcasts. She don't love you like that. She don't love you like that. She didn't go to Vegas because I wasn't going. Here we go. I know. That freaking broke my heart. It broke my heart. Really? Wow.

Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you. Wow. I didn't know that. Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you. Wow. Yo. I didn't know that. I got, look, I got abandoned. Joelle. You need to check with your wife because her version of the story was.

Bullshit. God said I shouldn't come now. No, that's bullshit. Dude, let me tell you something right now, Joelle. Yeah. First, you abandoned me. Zach abandoned me. We peeled off.

We peeled off. And then guess who abandoned me after that? My own wife. Not wife. My own wife. Yeah, I was down bad. It was awful. I don't know if it's going around, but that was the worst strep I ever had in my whole life.

Oh, for sure. I need to go to Vegas and spread my germs. Me, Bob Pittman, and John Sykes did it big on a private plane coming back. They told me I should watch this movie called Triangle of Sadness. Yeah, I saw that. Apparently that's really good. Yeah. I'm going to check that out.

It's really good, but you won't like it. I won't like it. Okay, so then we have two types for those of you, just to remind you what's happening. We have pitches for TV concepts that Donald and I should explore next. And we also have- TV and movie concepts. Yes. And we also have pitches for what this podcast

should become once we're out of Scrubs episodes. Because we're rapidly running out. We're in the middle of Season 7 and we only have 9 seasons. We only have 2 episodes left in Season 7. Really? Really? Yeah, it's a really short one. Oh, because of the strike. Was it only 10 episodes? I didn't know that. It was only 10 Really? Yeah, it's a really short one. Oh, because of the strike. Was it only 10 episodes?

I didn't know that. It was only 10 episodes? Mm-hmm. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. We are running out. We are running out. We got to do a tour next with season eight because that's going to be our last chance. That's what I wanted to talk to these guys about also.

Dude, we're going to do this tour. This is for real, for real. I want to get a tour bus and our faces will be on the side of the tour bus. Joelle, what is the first one? We have a podcast pitch from Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy.

Take that. Take that. Take that. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy.

Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy.

Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Dan Biddy. Here we go. Hey, Zach and Donald and Dan Danal and Joel as well. This is Dan, all the way from the UK. So here's my pitch for what you guys should do

after you finish your Scrubs rewatch. I think that I speak for everyone when I say that we're going to want more Scrubs. So my idea is that you guys write your own Scrubs audio plays and then perform them in character as Turk and JD. And then if you can get Sarah back as Elliot and Judy back as Carla, et cetera, et cetera, I think that would be awesome. And the episode of the podcast could be you guys coming up with ideas

for what the audio play is going to be that week and writing gags and coming up with storylines. And, you know, you could do like Nurse Roberts' above-ground pool party, for example, or JD and Elliot's wedding. And the guest on the podcast that week could be, you know, an ex-Scrubs writer or maybe Bill or, you know, Neil Flynn. He's great at improv. Get him involved as well.

You know, it's just while you guys are waiting for Bill to be free again so we can get that Scrubs reunion, this could be a great way of getting more Scrubs content in our lives. And I think we'd all love that as much as the current format of the podcast already is. So, yeah, hope you guys are okay bye damn bitty damn bitty damn bitty damn bitty damn bitty damn bitty damn bitty um i think we're allowed to do that damn bitty um it's very it's a very good idea but we're not allowed to use i

don't think the characters no we cannot because they're only not allowed to use, I don't think, the characters on our own. Because they're owned by the Walt Disney Corporation. Just like Mickey Mouse. Just like Mickey Mouse. Although, didn't his copyright expire? But ours didn't. We're not as old as Mickey. I imagine the Mickey Mouse copyright is renewed at some point, too. I imagine it expired.

Did they work that out, Joel? I thought there was some funny thing where it was expired by accident or something or no no a certain amount of years yeah after 100 years i think it's 100 years it has become public domain so what it is is the original mickey design you could use but they re-up they just like this design's a little shinier this you know what i mean they'll just update a little bit so mostly mickey is still protected by disney but oh but if i wanted to i could make a t-shirtshirt with the original Mickey and be allowed to sell it. I think that's correct. That's my understanding of things.

I'm going to get to work today. Like those Pooh Bear murder movies. Hey, hope right. Right, that's right. Speaking of copyright, I did not know what this whole Ghostbusters situation, man. Holy shit. What's that? whole Ghostbusters situation, man. Holy shit. Did you know that Ghostbusters, the song, is like been stolen by like so many different people?

Like it's been. No, no, that's not what it is. Yeah, it has. So apparently Huey Lewis was supposed to do the Ghostbusters song and he didn't do the Ghostbusters song and they gave it to Ray Parker Jr. But I think Huey Lewis had written the who you're gonna call part and ray parker adds his part and huey lewis sues ray parker jr but in the in the case he's not allowed to talk about suing ray parker jr and in an interview later on huey

lewis then goes to talk about suing ray parker. And now Ray Parker Jr. gets all the money for the Ghostbusters song. But this all goes back to a song that they say Huey Lewis stole the Ghostbusters song from anyway. Yeah. Like, it's like this crazy. If you Google, if you're confused, just Google this and you'll find it. But someone did a comparison of all three songs. The Huey Lewis one, the Ray Parker Jr. Is that his name? Yes. And then there's the third song. it but someone did a comparison of all three songs the huey lewis one the ray parker jr is that his name yes and then there's the third song and it's it's a big mess just like donald's

talking about it's all a mess and a lot of money was floating around a lot of money but that's what happened when i was a kid huey lew was the jam. Oh, dude, come on, man. Gotta go back in time. But there was an album called, I think the album was called Sports, ironically enough. Yes, it's true. Yes, it's true. I'm so happy to be stuck with you. And I can see. I can see.

That you're happy to be stuck with me. What was the music video on the beach, Don? Do you remember which song that was? I thought that was that one. Oh. I don't know. I got a new drug. I want a new drug. There was a song like that. He wants a new drug. i got a new drug i want a new drug there was something like that he wants a new

drug i want a new drug anyway everyone go listen to huey lewis's album sports it's magical okay so um dan bitty very good idea we're i don't think we're legally allowed to do that i don't think that's possible but um but very good very i will say this. The audience, from what I'm gathering, the audience just wants more scrubs so far. Yeah. Unlike TLC. Daniel, I have a question for you. You're very tech savvy. And there's a lot of people using one of these AI programs to print out funny material.

Chat GPT. Yeah. Could we have chat GPT crank out a scene of scrubs and then and then read it is that possible i'm gonna try right now all right let's see what happens you say turk and jd uh scrub scene and see what it puts out it's really crazy this this this ai thing is really crazy because now the design the designs are yours i guess if you design a picture if you you put the picture in, I don't know how this works, man. This AI is doing everybody's work for them now. Did you see the baby one of you?

It was really cute. It didn't look like me, though. A little bit. Not even a little bit. Listen, I'm the one member in the cast that everybody gets wrong in the fucking art situation. I didn't know I was that difficult to draw, people. Everybody fucks my face up. That's not true.

Yeah, it is. You should see some of the drawings I'm tagged in. Some of these drawings, man, motherfucker had me looking like the Mexican Charles Barkley. Like, straight up. And then had the nerve to be like, and tag me in that shit. You didn't look like you either,

but still. Some of these pictures are always it's always they get you right and then me, it's fucked up. I look like fucking somebody else. They get you right more. I've never been right yet. They've never gotten me right

yet. I want to say on behalf of both of us, we very much appreciate the art. They get you right more. I've never been right yet. They've never gotten me right yet. Listen, I want to say on behalf of both of us, we very much appreciate the art. I appreciate it, but stop making me look like Sam Jackson. Like, what the fuck? Daniel, did anything come out? Chat GPT is at capacity right now. Apparently too many people are using it at this moment.

Well, Daniel, could you work on that? And if by chance, if by chance it puts something out, we will perform that. I think we can perform that on the show. Great. Okay. What's next? All right. What's next, Joelle?

Here's your last one. It comes from Adam Knight. Zach, Donald, Joelle, of course, and DJ Daniel. Name's Adam Knight from Winnipeg, Canada, up here in the frozen great white north. I'm not going to talk about stubbies or maple syrup, but I am going to talk about a potential movie pitch. So if you guys are ready,

grab yourselves a stubby. Damn it, I said I wouldn't do it. Anyways. Did you mean dick? Zach and Donald are nightclub promoters who tour from city to city, bringing value and life to clubs that are losing their luster. Everything is great for these two party boys until they arrive in Detroit, where the club they are hired to spice up becomes the scene of a Hong Kong action style assassination.

Our boys are caught on camera fleeing the scene by the victims of the assault, the perpetrators of the assault and the local police force. In order to clear their names and protect their lives our heroes question mark are introduced to the most dangerous person in Detroit an ass-kicking hard-nosed femme fatale who takes no crap and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty ideally played by Sarah chalk it's midnight run meets John Wick as Zach and Donald Starr in Fast Talkers. Hope you all like it. Adam, thank you. This is on my whiteboard for this year, so I'm writing this off.

And yeah, keep smiling, guys. Thanks for all the laughs the last couple of years. Appreciate it. Love it. Well, Adam, thank you. And I'm glad that you just achieved something on your whiteboard, which was getting on the show and pitching an idea. That's funny. I know Donald lit up when you started getting into action.

Well, when he said Midnight Run, that got me right away. I love Midnight Run, but what's the Keanu Reeves movie? John Wick. Yeah, John Wick. I've never seen a John Wick movie in my life. I haven't either, but I... What? You would love it, Donald. That is for sure your movie.

So check this out. So a friend of mine worked on one of the- It's like gun action? Yeah. And swords. He kills a man with a book at one point. It's amazing. A friend of mine worked on John Wick 3, and that whole motorcycle sequence is all done

on a green screen, CG green screen and shit like that. And I got to see that right after they filmed it. It's since gone on to be on the internet and stuff like that as an example of how crazy that shit is. But yo, Keanu's doing all of it. I didn't know that. I mean, I knew Keanu was kind of badass and shit like that, but I didn't know he was badass like that badass. He learned to do it all. That motherfucker is not playing around, dude.

Jumping from bikes, freaking kicking ass. Keanu Reeves, who knew? I just want to add one thing to Adam Knight's pitch, if you don't mind, just to finish it off. Zach and Donald are gay newlyweds in house arrest. Side note, a stubby is a small beer. I thought it was a penis.

You mean less than 12 ounces? It's like less than 12 ounces? It is a small beer, yes. It's just Canadian slang for a small bottle of beer. Because I thought a stubby was a small penis. I suppose it could be in the right context. Yes. Let's say you're going down on someone and you pull off their underwear and you see they have a small penis. You suppose it could be in the right context. Yes. Let's say you're going down on someone

and you pull off their underwear and you see they have a small penis. You could be like, oh, not a stubby. Yay! You didn't tell me you had a stubby. You should have warned me at the bar you had a stubby. Oh, dear.
