Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a form to it. You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes.

Hey, everybody, this is Zach Braff and Donald Faison. This episode was recorded before the strike. We were not allowed to air it because we're not allowed to talk about scrubs during the strike. So if it seems like we're not talking about

anything relevant to today, it's because it was recorded way back when. When, Joelle? July 11th. July 11th. Holy cow. And today's November 21st. Wow. Well, that's when we're recording. This is going to air when, Joelle?

Hi, everybody. welcome to the program this is called fake doctors real friends and do you know why it's called fake doctors real friends

why is that donald one because we're real friends but at one point in life we were on a show called scrubs right it ran in the aughts and we played fake doctors, and the show is beloved across the universe, even today, so many years later. I can't believe it. And what we decided to do was get together and record our conversations about the old program, our memories, our recollections, some inside jokes, and a whole lot of tangents. You know what that's called?

What's that called? A podcast. Everybody likes a little ass play, dude. Yes, that's true, Donald. And we've created a podcast that is beloved across the universe. The universe, Joel. The universe. Not just on Earth.

No. All the way to nowhere. we get letters from pluto the dagobah system yeah the dagobah system i got a wonderful piece of art from jupiter amazing wu-tang forever wu-tang forever how are you donald i'm good speaking of wu-Tang Forever. How are you, Donald? I'm good. Speaking of Wu-Tang Forever, you know, there have been a lot of movies that have come out recently, and I've had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy some of them. Some of them I enjoyed a lot. Some of them not so much. But these are the movies that I've seen since the strike has gone on.

Go ahead. Indiana Jones. Go ahead. Avatar Way of the Water. Okay. I watched it finally. It's a long one. Yes.

What else did I see? The Transformers. Wow, you're the guy. You're the guy who watched it. The Flash. Right. Anyway, at one point in the box office three weeks in a row people of color were the number one it was a good time for us yeah it was a freaking awesome moment

yo i'm gonna just put it out there just for like three weeks straight we was rocking that shit. I don't understand because the movies you just mentioned didn't star people of color. So can you explain what you're talking about? So like Transformers. Right. Number one movie in the box office, two people of color. Okay. Miles Morales in the Spider-Verse.

I saw that also. Oh, my gosh. Great film. Oh, my gosh. Out of of all of them that's my favorite for sure the dad that had to hit you so hard like a lot of levels there's just so many things about that move like i went in there thinking it was going to be the first one all over again something that was a little bit catered towards kids and stuff like that but miles morales has grown up a bit. He done grown up a bit. He's grown up quite a bit.

That thing is like, it's not a kid's movie, man. It's a, you know, shout out to Chris and Phil, man. Yo, dude, okay. I read that The Flash is, I think, going to be the biggest. Flop of all time. The biggest flop of all time, Joelle. Is that true? That's what I'm hearing, Zach.

It's had an abysmal opening weekend, and it's just been a spiral every day since. So it's wild that we're here. I think some people tried to predict it. It's like, hey, I don't know if it's gonna hit i'm gonna say i think it really shows you how strong the lgbtq community is also though you know what i mean because uh a lot of the protests came from that area and uh and uh has shown i mean and it's it's shown look you can't be that type of person and expect us to come out and support you for sure i'd like to say that it was just the strength of the lgbtqia community and yay we did

it but i really think that specifically dc at warner brothers has disenfranchised how i say this it's just there's a lot of people who have issues with it from a lot of, there's that angle, there's the people who love Zack Snyder and the people who did not like Zack Snyder's films. Both of them have issues and didn't show up to see this movie. It's just, it's, they're up against so much. And because this is the final film of an installment that is not going forward, James Gunn has been very clear about the new direction of DC.

I think a lot of people were like, oh, I'll just wait for it to come out on DVD if I want to see it but it's not building to anything so and it's not really a finale it's kind of just wishy-washy and because of that I think they weren't able to gather any type of audience to kind of come see and support the movie it's very it's very interesting how powerful Hollywood is Zach you've got a very big weekend coming soon you've got Barbie and Oppenheimer. I know you're excited about that. I would see. Finally, there's two films that I would like to see in the theater.

I'd like to see them both. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get a ticket to see them both opening weekend anymore. That's going to be really. That's interesting, man. This thing is like Barbie and Oppenheimer are on track to freaking breaking the box office this i already bought my double feature tickets they already announced they announced that over 20 000 people had bought double feature tickets so far wow are they calling it barbenheimer barbenheimer yeah i bought the T-shirt. I got the Barbie one with the nuclear bomb explosion reflected in her sunglasses.

It was really cool. So I'm going to go fully decked out. Got a whole friend group. I'm thrilled. I'm very excited. Now, here's something interesting. Yeah, go ahead and say it. We're going to find out any second, well, any hour now, because we are recording this on the 11th of July, if SAG is going to strike.

Yep. Now, if SAG strikes, you're not allowed to even promote a movie. So both of those movies, even though Barbie's had their premiere, I believe, they'll have to, not that they need the help, of course, but I mean, they both have to stop. The actors will no longer be able to promote their movies. Aren't they like overseas right now, a lot of them doing this? Barbie just wrapped yesterday or the day before.

Sunday they had their premiere. But isn't the Oppenheimer crew overseas and stuff like that doing press? I don't think they've started yet. I don't know. But I just know that no matter what you're doing as an actor, whether in a gigantic movie like that or you're in a smaller little indie movie, you are not allowed to even promote it on Instagram once the SAG strike starts.

Yeah. And all signs are pointing to a strike. I was thinking it was going to be averted, but it's not looking good. You can't even be like, check out my shit. Can you post on Instagram? No, I just told you. Like, you know, look at my animation.

Yes. Well, you can do your little indie stuff. That's non-union. You're non-union. You're non-union. Can my non-union stop motion? Unless you as a producer have decided to unionize your garage animation. I finally said to Donald today, I go, dude, I had an epiphany.

Why aren't you animating some of our little moments on this show? You've gotten so good. You're fucking doing Star Wars. Why aren't you doing little segments of Fake Doctors, Real Friends? What the fuck? I have puppets being built as we speak, sir. Stop it! Wow. segments of fake doctors real friends what the fuck i have puppets being built as we speak sir wow all of a sudden i was like if i see one more obi kenobi quote i have puppets being built it's expensive and it's coming out of my own pocket but well i want a zach braff puppet. Okay. Okay.

There we go. You can make him say anything. I'm going to make him say a lot. You better make him say some stuff. You know what I'm going to say? I'm going to make him say, imagine these. I'm going to say, I'm going to say. You know what I'm going to make him say? Make him say this.

Everybody likes to ask for money, but I can't. I'm going to make him say, imagine dragon. I don't get it. Imagine dragon needs not to cross your face can i play you guys something funny oh also we got mission impossible coming out oh true yeah we do listen if you got a movie that's another one trending that's trend that's really trending i'm just saying you got 24 hours if you got a movie coming out, big or small, promote the shit out of it. Because you're not allowed to in 24 hours.

The clock is ticking. We got to promote. Promote it now. Holy shit. I wanted to play you this guy. I sent this to you guys, but you didn't. But even on our podcast, we talked about movies today. You can talk about movies.

We're not. Upcoming projects. We're reporting them. You can't about movies. We're not. Upcoming projects. We're, we're, we're, we're reporting them. You can't promote your own wares. By the way,

the exemptions, interestingly, are animation and commercials, which are part of different contracts. So if you were in an animated movie. So I'm not, I don't even have to worry about, I don't even have to worry about my animation.

If you were in a new T-Mobile commercial, you could promote it. Oh. Wait, can I play the audience this? This guy, you guys barely reacted to this, but I thought this was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I sent it to y'all.

It's this guy. His name is Gabe Gibbs, and he takes songs, and he Broadway-ifies them. Oh. Oh, gosh. You didn't see this, Donald? I sent this to you. No, you sent it to me.

Yeah, he ruins every freaking song. He took the Missy Misdemeanors. Oh, gosh. You didn't see this, Donald? I sent this to you. No, you sent it to me. Yeah, he ruins every freaking song. He took the Missy Misdemeanors. And let me just play a little bit of his Broadway-ification of Missy Misdemeanor. Gabe Gibbs on Instagram. Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Let me work it Put my thing down Flip it and reverse it

If you got a big Flip it and reverse it You can sing too. If you got a big Let me search ya And find out how hard I gotta work ya All right, I'll stop it. That shit's hilarious, Tommy. That's good.

He does that for all sorts of, he did one for Cisco's Thong Song. That thong, the thong, thong, thong. I wish I could sing like that, Donald. In my mind, I sing like that. Who was that singing? Gabe Gibbs on Instagram. I'm giving him a shout out. Who's Gabe Gibbs?

He's a comedian, Broadway type singer who does spoofs of songs like that. I'm just asking because in a couple of hours, we're not going to be able to promote Gabe Gibbs. We can. I don't think he's doing a SAG performance. All right, count us in, Donald. Five, six, seven, eight. He's got stories about a show we made about a bunch of doctors and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said he's got stories that we all should know.

So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. What a bizarre episode of Scrubs, Donald. It's all about love, baby. It's all about the love that everybody feels for each other. Is that what it's about? The theme seems to be about hand-holding. Interesting little tidbit from Scrubs Wiki. The interns are not in this episode at all.

They're gone. Sarah Chalk barely in the episode. I don't know what she had going on, but she only makes a couple of appearances. Same with Kelso. Only does a couple of drive-bys. Maybe Sarah was doing Firefly Lane at the time. No, Donald. This was a very long time ago.

She was not doing Firefly Lane. Do you know what my son said to me today? What did your son say to you today, Donald? He was like, why does Zach have a beard? And I was like, oh, you know, this was season eight. He was trying to switch it up. He said, you know what? Zach looks older then with that beard than he does now. Oh, that's nice of him. I like that. Thank you, Rocco. I have to tell you, my beard does not look brown anymore. So I don't really grow it out too much because I have so much gray hair in it.

It makes me feel self-conscious about it. Yeah, go ahead. Your beard looked a little dyed back then too, though. It wasn't. It wasn't. I swear to God. It was perfectly, beautifully brown. You had a brown beard, bro.

I had a brown beard. Look at Daniel's beard. You see that glorious reddish beard? Yeah, that's reddish, though. Daniel got the reddish.'t i can't you don't even you barely have any gray in your beard oh it's all gray it's so much gray no you know what it is you've got a couple cliff clavin patches don't get me wrong well you know we can't uh we can't all there be uh as a coolest cliff clavin there, but Zach. You all have to remember,

that's a deep cut for those of you who don't remember, there was a Cheers episode where they had a beard growing contest. And Cliff had a freaking patchy beard.

Cliff's was very patchy. Cliff Clavin in Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back. All right, so we learned right off the bat that Zelzer has a webcam in his home and he watches his wife do the dishes right and so he shows cox his wife and cox is like oh my god who are those two naked people right and which zeltzer says that's mr and mrs Dish. She's doing the dishes.

So there's a lot of freaky sex stuff going on over at Zeltser's house. You know when Zeltser appears, there's going to be some twisted sex humor. We should say the brilliant Bob Clendenin. Always funny. Always. Now, can that be construed as cucking? I don't know. Joel, isn't cucking when you're forced to watch your partner engage

in so cucking is when you're forced to watch it it's not i'm not sure the the specific it feels like it would be in the ballpark i'm not part of this community so i don't know a hundred percent but maybe you could look it up for us joelle if if you don't mind messing up your Google search. Don't do it. Don't you do it. Not on the work computer, but my phone is here. Let's see. Yeah, your phone. Oh, I can't find.

Don't you do it. I think that Zeltser probably is into being a cuck because he's at work watching his wife bang a couple. Right. I don't know much about cucking, but I feel like that's in the ballpark, Joel. I don't. Let's see here. I don't know much about.

Oh, Daniel knows. Daniel knows. At the ballpark. Joel? I don't know much about... Oh, Danil knows. At the risk of falling into this category, yeah, cucking is usually something that you're into. You're into watching your wife get raped. Is there a reverse

cucking where the wife is into watching the man do? Yeah, absolutely'm sure. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And sometimes there's like a dominations part to it where the wife is like, yeah, you like watching me get fucked, you pathetic. Whoa.

Oh, yeah, where they talk down to them. Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you. Yeah, where they. Oh, gosh. Oh, my God. I was not prepared. Oh, my God. I was not prepared. Oh, my word.

Okay. Here we are. Oh, man. All right. I don't like that, though. But I don't like that. We can do that. No, not for you.

So Jordan is taking advantage of all the benefits of Cox being the chief of medicine. She's stealing food from the cafeteria. She's firing people. She's firing people. She's firing people. She took Jack out of preschool for Yom Kippur, even though Yom Kippur was several weeks ago. Even though Jack is turning out to be a diabolical genius. Yes. Jack is running wild in the hospital.

He's running his mother, too. He tricks his mother consistently to get out of school, in which he pronounces he hates. What is he? He can barely put sentences together. So he's in preschool. I have a little thing on Jack Cox from Scrubs Wiki. Jack Cox is confirmed to be four years old in this episode.

However, the episode depicting his birth, My Karma, aired six years before this episode. This can be explained in the following reasons. All of season six took place in less than nine months, not a full year as the first five seasons were. Also, season seven did not show a depiction of a full year passing. Dr. Cox

forgot how old his son is, and Jack is very close to his fifth birthday. So Scrubs Wiki helps rationalize that Jack may indeed be four. Way to go, Trevor. Yeah. Trevor. Someone spent a lot of work on that.

That was a deep cut. Very good. But anyway, the kid hates school. But I don't understand how you can hate daycare. Like, that's all it is. He's going to daycare if he's four years old. Well, he'd much rather run around the hospital and fuck shit up. I guess that's what it is.

The janitor has blood on his face from shaving, but he makes it clear that it's not from his blood. So who was he shaving? He was shaving someone else. And that person bled. And that person's blood is on his face. Oh my god. Neil has a very big part in this episode um oh they're so cute oh wow

they're very cute he and lady yeah oh wow way to go um a lot of people don't know this but that's mark stegman's wife uh uh kit panjeti yes Pongetti, who plays Lady. And Stegman, who is one of our writers from the beginning, pretty much. Yes, he was there at the top. Yeah. And she came aboard on the show, and I mean, it's just pretty awesome.

At this point, we have a lot of family members, like Ted and Anna are married at this point. You have to explain who those people are donald donald it's donald right it is donald zach zach i'm correct right yes zachary but a nickname of zach go ahead okay i'm just talking about our cast and crew like we've all at this point all of us you know have gone through some type of real relationship or real breakup like i'm at this point i've been divorced i dated somebody and then now i'm at this point i'm dating casey uh as we're doing this um you know zach you went through a couple of relationships while we did this show

as well uh but then there were cast there there were crew members like Ted and Anna. Anna was in sound. I think Ted was... He was a grip. He was a grip. They wound up getting married. You were a part of their engagement.

We were all a part of their engagement. Yes, we made a whole video. We surprised them. The engagement was made to seem like it was a scene we were shooting, but it was all an elaborate ploy

so he could propose to the love of his life. But this is eight years in on a show, and this is also almost 20 years ago, too. Laws were different and everything, so it wasn't a big deal to marry somebody that you were working with or date somebody that you were working with. I think you're still allowed to legally marry someone that you work with, Donald.

Well, there's a lot of... One has to abide by some HR protocols these days. Correct. But you're still allowed to fall in love. My point is that we were a real family at this point. We were. And it was coming to an end, and we all knew it was coming to an end. And so all of these relationships,

when you watch it right now, when you watch Cox and Jordan, it's been so seasoned and it runs so well that everybody's relationship in this thing is cute. Everybody has a really good, like you could,

you awe at all of it so much so that jd and elliot's relationship nobody really cares about you know what i mean it's just they make a joke about that because the jd and and uh and and uh elliot thing has been so beaten to death that bill is obviously making fun of it because they want attention for their relationship and everyone's like we don't care. It's kind of like the audience having a voice being like, please, we're so exhausted by hearing about your on-again, off-again relationship. That's really the only moment Sarah has in the whole show is being like, no one cares about our relationship anymore. It's like, we don't care.

There's been too much of it. So I think Bill's sort of making fun of the on-again, off-again stuff. But in all of it, everybody's so cute, but you know who takes the cake? Who? Turk and Carla. Are you biased in that accounting?

I don't think I'm biased. Joel says there's just facts. It's just what it is, dude. That's funny when it is, dude. That's funny when you go, I have to go check with my boss and you run. You make it look like you're running to Cox,

but then you run to Carla. That's real life, man. That's how me and Casey are. Yeah, Casey is your boss. Are you afraid of her? I'm afraid of what she'll do to me. I'm not necessarily afraid of her. I'm afraid of what she can do. But do you ever about to make a decision

and you're like i'm gonna get in trouble with my wife if i make this decision yes i i am consistently saying to i say this in professional situations like people will be like do you think you're free to do this uh to do this project in a couple of weeks you know what i need to talk to my wife about that first but yeah i i i i think maybe but i gotta talk to my wife about that first. But yeah, I think maybe, but I got to talk to her first. Because if she's like, no, you're not free, guess who's not free? Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful. That's where

I had never heard this melody before. So this is real true story i had never heard this melody before um so this is real life okay jd is joins turk watching sports center turk says that he's watched it every day since he was 10 years old and jd says so they just sit there and talk about sports and carla cackles because um jd's a girl yeah and then jd says your wife's a dirty whore which is pretty coming in hot okay so but we should set it up though okay turk is complaining that he's surrounded by women first izzy the new baby on the way carla he's surrounded by women elliot always surrounded by women and she goes no you're not he goes i'm surrounded by women she goes i guess and then you walk in and you're like hey right she gets the joke also right and from that moment on everything jd says

sounds like he's one of the women in Turk's life. Right. And so he doesn't like that, and he calls her a dirty whore, and Turk says, dude, and he goes, sorry, not dirty. And he goes, dude, sorry, not a whore. Never heard it in my life before making this joke. So I am a method actor. And Bill found great glee in the fact that I had never heard this melody before. Do you watch ESPN every day, Donald?

That's how you get your sports knowledge. Of course I watch ESPN every day. Yeah, I do watch it every day. Yes. I saw a bit of sports things that happened. it made it to my radar because it was such a major sports thing this incredible baseball player stole second third and home in three pitches wow you didn't know that did you i missed that one did you know that daniel uh i did not actually how do i know a major sports yeah this is not making sense how because i would never watch baseball literally ever. But I came up on my Threads feed the other day.

Me? Oh, Joelle's dropping Threads feed like she's an early adopter. We're promoting a movie? Of course. I was like, a new application? Move. Also, it tracks all of your followers and I get to keep my checkmark. Instagram really snapped.

What do you mean it tracks all of your followers? Sorry. You know what Threads is, Donald? Threads is the new Twitter. Please explain this to me because I've heard of this shit, but I don't know what it is. I got a few. Mark Zuckerberg sees that Elon

is on the ropes. He's fighting back. And Twitter has become a cesspool, and he's like, I got something for you. It's Twitter, but it's on Instagram, and it's called Threads. Wait, wait. And it becomes the most signed up for app in the history of apps overnight something for you it's twitter but it's on instagram and it's called threads wait wait and it becomes the most signed up for app in the history of apps overnight and now it's i assume extraordinarily popular and joella's dropping it like everybody knows it a hundred million people

are already on it and the brilliant thing they did is like so twitter removed your the check mark which means you don't know who you're following. It's not verified. It's also totally screwed up the, like, commenting. So when you go to read the comments, it's whoever has paid, which makes them abysmal. You just don't want to read them, which reduces the time you're on Twitter. So now Twitter's dead. So Instagram was like, well, what if you could keep your entire Instagram following? Everyone you follow will automatically get uploaded into your new account. And anyone who follows you if they sign up will automatically just get pinged like, hey, you can just follow these people

that you already know. Plus, you can keep your verification if you're verified on there so people can trust that it's actually you posting. And it runs just like old Twitter. It's like we're on Twitter from three years ago. It's very bizarre. I have a question first. I go first. Go, go, go. What prevents it from becoming a cesspool of hate like Elon Musk's Twitter?

Nothing. Well, yeah, that part. I mean, truly, it's... No, don't be sorry because you're right. Right now, we're sort of living in a very nice space so far. It's been a very nice experience. It's the golden age. Instagram does have some rules that rules do you remember after 9-11 in new york nobody was honking for like a month yes it's like that wasn't there but i had heard yeah nobody honked for like a

month everyone was kind that sounds like threads yeah the kind of people like oh it's nice we found a home and i know who these people are and And so that's comforting. I will say that Instagram does have rules that Twitter has definitely abolished. So like you can't post nudes. You can't. I don't know how long this is going to last. It's a little more family friendly. They're very like intense on like hate speech. So if they keep the rules and their moderators are there, then they might

fare better longer than Twitter did. But we'll see. Is it true that if you sign up for threads and then you decide, you know what, I don't want it anymore, you lose your Instagram account? That is correct. It is connected to your Instagram. So if you delete your threads, you also delete your Instagram.

Be very careful before you sign up. Can you create a threads and Instagram burner you also delete your Instagram. Wow, really? Be very careful before you sign up because I certainly do not know. Can you create a threads and Instagram burner account? But then you don't get the followers. But then you don't get the followers. Got it. I'm going to wait and see.

I'm going to take a wait and see approach because I'm trying to get off all of these things. I don't want to add another. I got off Twitter. Twitter was not healthy and I was using it to promote a good person and i once once my promotion for that was done i just took it off my phone um i do not find it a healthy place to be i like instagram still because it feels pretty friendly nah that's just starting to get crazy too though man instagram look man all you got to do is

look at one freaking girl in a bikini one time on Instagram. And then all of a sudden, your fucking shit is flooded. Something tells me you didn't look at one girl in a bikini. All I know is Casey walks by and she's like, what are you looking at? And I'm like, yo, I can't get this shit off. Yeah, right. But Casey's not an idiot. She knows that means you looked at 10 girls in bikinis.

No, no, no, no, no. Just one. Just one. It does overwhelm you. Like, I no no no no just one just one it does overwhelm you like like i've been looking at boats lately just because it's summer and i love boats i love looking at big boats and i just think they're so cool and i've clicked on like i probably clicked on maybe 10 big ass yachts just to be like check them out because i just think they're so rad my feed is 99 big ass yachts and i want to tell it like guys i'm kind of interested in it i'm not 100

like it overwhelms you yeah no it gets you but in your case it's women in bikinis it's like does your wife get mad when she looks at you and she sees that your whole uh feed is women in bikinis is she like what what the fuck? Nah, man. Look, man. You saw this whole thing that happened this weekend with Usher and Keke Palmer and all of that stuff. I didn't really follow it. I'm with you, Donald. You know what I mean? Like, in all

honesty, she was out having fun and it's none of my business to be honest with you, so I really don't know how to comment on it, but apparently her husband or her baby daddy got a little jealous of the fact that she was out dancing on usher uh-huh i can't i wouldn't want my girlfriend dancing on usher i don't i don't i don't listen as long as she listen as long as that's all that they're doing and she's out having fun with her friends i don't give a shit steal your girl i sure will you have you absolutely right

and if and if she and if she was and if she is that easily ready to leave with usher congratulations usher you gave her back to the city you gave her back to the streets baby way to go baby like 100 yeah somebody said that uh usher is an ally in that Usher just getting your girl ready to come back home to you. Home to you. She's coming home with that horned eye. I just can't wait to not have some. They say Usher's getting your girl ready to come home to you. Yes.

Yeah, because it's a concert. I don't believe in that shit. But also, I'm going to say this. If an artist makes sexy music, are they supposed to not perform it sexy? Are they supposed to stand up there and be like, I don't think dude was married. I don't think dude was married at Usher. I think dude was married at his at his girlfriend. No, of course.

But like that. But in my opinion, she looked like she was having a good time. That didn't look like there was anything crazy going on. I only saw a snippet of it. Wasn't he mad? I do not enjoy this. I only saw a snippet of it. Wasn't he mad, though, that her outfit was see-through as part of it? Yeah, that's the fucked up part. Which is also insane.

I don't give a shit about that either, man. It's a relatively tame outfit. Yeah, man. Come on. Don, you're lying. You're lying. I'm dead ass. If KC was in a see-through bodysuit grinding on Usher.

Oh, gosh. That would be... I would have a moment of... Yeah, keep would be... I would have a moment of... Yeah, keep it 100. I would have a moment of, am I being cucked? It would be a Zeltzer moment. It didn't grind. She, like, he said twirl.

She did a little twirl. She teed. It was so tame. I'm not about to say it wasn't like she was all up on his dick, like, just fucking grinding. Like, look at that. That would have been different. That's different. I didn't watch the video. I don't know what happened.

It's very tame. He's singing to a giant audience. He comes down to Kiki. He grabs her hand. They do a little two-step. He twirls her. She giggles with her friends and then he moves on. She gets a chance to sing and everything like that too. She takes the moment. Because she's famous.

Kiki Palmer is one of the most freaking talented people on the planet exactly exactly let's just be honest let's just let's just keep it 100 right now you want to keep it 100 oh i didn't know we were keeping it 100 let me adjust let's just keep it 100 you want you want to talk about one of the most talented people on the planet right now kiki palmer is one of them you know I mean? And so Usher put the microphone in front of her face and dared her to sing. And guess what? Being one of the most talented people

on the planet, she was able to do that shit effortlessly. And so like she took the moment and shined like 100% with it. Whereas, you know, people were me. And now if I were watching that shit, I'd be like, go on, girl.

But that's just me. You know what I mean? And I know it's coming home later. And I know that that shit's going to be nasty too. You know what I mean? Okay, on that note, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back with more of the program you enjoy so much called Fake Doctors, Real Friends.

every weekday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, my name's Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michael B. 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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine you ask two people the same exact set of seven questions.

I'm Minnie Driver, and this was the idea I set out to explore in my podcast, Minnie Questions. This year, we bring a whole new group of guests to answer the same seven questions, including actress and star of the mega hit sitcom Friends, Courtney Cox. You can't go around it, so you just go through it. This is a roadblock. It's going to catch you down the road. Go through it. Deal with it.

Comedian, writer, and star of the series Catastrophe, Rob Delaney. I shouldn't feel guilty about my son's death. He died of a brain tumor. It's part of what happens when your kid dies. Intellectually, you'll understand that it's not your fault, but you'll still feel guilty. Alt-rock icon, Liz Phair. That personal disaster wrote Guyville.

So everything comes out of a dead end. And many, many more. Join me on season three of Many Questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. And we're back! We're back! We're back!

Okay, so SportsCenter, the place for sports. SportsCenter, the place for sports. And we actually got the SportsCenter anchors, I understand those are the real people at the time, to say that J.D. Hannah's still there. The worst athlete in the world is J.D., and then we cut to J.D.

He's got a natural runner t-shirt, holding a tennis racket, a baseball glove, and has a football helmet on. And he's hitting himself with the helmet and says, I like wearing a helmet because I can do this and it only hurts a little bit. Yeah. That's JD's sports moment. So good. That's not even a sports moment. That's just like. I've seen that as a meme a lot.

Yeah. People like that. What? Like, I mean, let's keep it. Come on, man. Like. What are you trying to say? You had a helmet on.

You had a tank top on. Wasn't a tank top. T-shirt. Did you have on glasses? No. You didn't have protective glasses on? No. You're saying we could have done more? i'm saying we could have gone a lot further we could have i mean it was funny yeah at the time i remember laughing really really really i think you were there when we

shot it yeah no i remember laughing for some reason you were hanging out yeah now this part is very funny when jd goes to watch jerk do surgery through the glass and i remember i improv this this whole doe a deer thing it's a deer it's a deer i go no no it's doe it's a doe a deer no a doe it's a deer because jd can jd can relate to it through the sound of music. That's the only way. The way that JD finds his key is that, no, it's Doe. It's a deer. Doe a deer.

Doe a deer. You know, my kids are asking about that movie recently, and I'm really excited for them to watch it. Sound of music? Yeah. I'm really excited for them to watch it um sound of music yeah i'm really excited for them to watch it i you know that's one of the as a kid doe a deer is that's one of the dopest songs ever and then so long farewell and goodbye and then raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Of course. Bright paper. Like they just got some bops in that movie. Brown paper packages tied up with string.

These are a few of my favorite things. Just be careful because those Nazis come out of nowhere in that movie. They're like singing along. They're having the best time. And all of a sudden, Nazis. You're like, Nazis? We were singing about a doe, a deer. Right. And then all of a sudden, Nazis. You're like, Nazis? We were singing about a doe, a deer. Right.

And then all of a sudden, they got to escape. You might want to show the kids the first part. Oh, that's what I did this weekend. What did you do? This was a mistake. And it wasn't a big mistake. It was actually a... First of all, I showed the kids Forrest Gump.

Oh, my God. Why Forrest gump oh my god why is that bad forrest gump why is it bad i don't recall this movie being so sad oh yeah i recall it i thought it was like i remember forrest gump being an uplifting movie about a dude with special needs who's extremely lucky and smarter than, you know, you give him credit for and, you know, has one of the best lines ever. Stupid is as stupid does. You know what I mean? That movie, everybody in his life dies. Yeah, pretty much. Everybody.

For him to learn all of these great lessons and everything like that he has to lose everyone so were your kids traumatized by that my son couldn't go to bed last night talking two nights ago talking about i don't want you guys to die i was like oh shit that's what far that's what pg-13 means right yeah fair that's what pg-13 that's what happened to13 means. Right. Yeah. Fair. That's what PG-13 means. That's what happened to me with Terms of Endearment. My dad showed me Terms of Endearment about a mom saying goodbye to her kid because she's dying of cancer.

And I was like, I was so traumatized. Yeah. That's what PG-13 means. Terms of Endearment is traumatizing. Oh, my God. It's all trauma. Look, dude, Rocco saw Bubba going before it even happened. Rocco's like, oh. He's like, Bubba's going to die.

And I was like, ah, yeah. He was like, oh, man. He starts crying. I'm like, oh, shit. You know what I mean? Right around the time Bubba's starting to talk about you join the, you and me will be a shrimping team and we'll be doing all of that stuff together Rocco's like oh shit Bubba's gonna die yeah wait how did you soothe them though like

because eventually assuming he went to sleep yeah well it took quite a bit it was like one o'clock in the morning finally when he went to sleep but it was a lot of cuddling and a lot of a lot of uh you know trying to explain that death is a part of life. And, you know, it's very difficult. You know, he's nine years old and we showed him something that was maybe a little bit too. This was the lesson for us as parents too. You know, sometimes that PG-13 warning isn't that, you know, I look at PG-13 and I'm thinking violence. I'm thinking, you know, okay, something's going to transform.

A little cursing maybe it's gonna maybe they'll say fuck one time or something like that i wasn't expecting i i so halfway through it i'm like oh my god this movie i'm crying in the movie and i i remember watching the movie and being like look how great this is shot look at the you know what i mean back in the day thinking about it as a from a from a from a, from a artistic, you know, with Rocco, I'm looking at, now I'm looking at it like, oh no, these events are about to happen, and I have to be ready to explain it. And, and it was difficult. It was very hard. Well, that's a good lesson.

It's a good lesson to parents to remember why there's a PG-13 there because he was probably too young to be seeing it. He was way too young to be watching it. And I looked at it as, oh, it's PG-13. It's not a problem. Thinking the war would be, you know, Vietnam is all I got to worry about. Right. Yeah. And then doesn't the girlfriend die of AIDS?

Yeah, she dies of AIDS. Yeah, dude. My God. This is how old Forrest Gump is. Jenny dies from AIDS. Yeah. This is how old Forrest Gump is. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I thought she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, Jenny. Well, so did Forrest. She had the voice of an angel. Oh, fuck, Zach. You can sit here if you want. Oh, that was so crazy. You were so stoic for a second.

He's remembering the movie. That's why. I was remembering the movie and my feelings about Robin Wright Penn. Yes. Oh, my God. That's another thing. First time I ever saw her in The Princess Bride. Who is that?

I want to know more who is she and and now she's like this badass kick-ass amazonian like freaking like you know what i mean she you want to talk about fine wine right there see you know aging like fine wine that's one right there man like for real for real she went. She went from damsel into distress to freaking kick-ass superhero. Like, you know what I mean? Like, her evolution is amazing.

She was president. Alright, let's get back to the TV show Scrubs, Donald. Okay, alright, alright. We gotta get back to this. So, the whole thing is, Lady doesn't want to hold hands with the janitor. And this really gives him a panic attack because he thinks that she's going to break up with him. Because why would this woman who he has such a crush on and so into not want to hold his hand?

Now, Cox and Jordan spend the entire time fucking with the janitor because they are mean. And they are so happy to get in his head saying oh my god you're gonna get dumped she doesn't want to hold your hand wow you're screwed and they're really enjoying that and they have their own storyline because jordan is livid that cox is wearing his wedding ring which is you know when we first meet them, they're divorced. I thought they were married again. I had the, I had, for some reason, I thought they had gotten married again somewhere in this whole thing.

Me too, but they say they just, they just are together without being married, right? They never got remarried. They never got remarried. But he put it on because he's feeling close to her and he loves her and she is like get that off your what is wrong with you you know because they have this you know this sort of um this this sort of mean-spirited banter where they tease each other like crazy what it really boils down to is that jordan loves what's going on with them and this is probably what she's wanted the whole time why couldn't they you know she's probably in her mind thinking why couldn't our marriage have been like this yeah where i get to be me he gets to be him we get to do the things that we do and enjoy each other

uh the way we were supposed to and then he puts the ring on and she's like wait a second dude now all of this pressure is going to be back right it's going to be added on again you know what i mean sense That makes sense. I didn't even think it would work. This didn't work before. Remember, we did this before, and it didn't work, and we hated each other for a really long time. I don't know if this is a good idea. And he's like, well, I feel good about it.

It makes me feel wonderful. Right. And she hates it. She keeps telling him to take it off. She doesn't want that fucking ring. And so there's this theme of hands in the episode, a motif, because the janitor can't hold Lady's hand. There's the ring on Cox's hand. And Turk is in a position where he has to tell the parents of a young man that there's a good chance he may be paralyzed.

And he doesn't know how to do it. And JD is coaching him, saying, listen, don't give them false hope, okay? Don't give them false hope. Go in there. This is very hard to do, but if you feel yourself starting to cry, think of the gopher dancing at the end of Caddyshack. Caddyshack. We should start this off by,

the whole SportsCenter theme is also, we should have, we kind of buried the lead here. The SportsCenter theme is because of, at the time, a kid who played football had gotten injured in a football collision or accident

or something like that, and they use cold therapy to fuse his spine back together or something like that. I don't know if it's fuses spine, but somehow some sort of cold therapy helped him not be paralyzed. Right. It, it,

it, or it took the, uh, it took the inflammation down or something like that. And so, you know, this automatically made me think of damar hamlin didn't it make you think of that like right away like when i was watching this i was

like wow the times of you know football is this is my i love football but that's one of the most dangerous things i've ever seen in my life man like for real for real man like what is this 10 years ago somebody loses uh you know loses their their ability to walk and stuff like that for a bit. And then here we go 10, 15 years later and another freak accident where a dude has a heart attack because he was hit so hard in the chest. You know what I mean? It's a dangerous. I love watching it.

Don't get it twisted. I enjoy it, but not my kid. Don't get it twisted. I enjoy, I enjoy it, but not my kid. Yeah. I feel you. I feel you. If I had, my dog will not be playing football.

I hear that. I hear that. I don't care. Billy. No, I don't care how much she wants to. So of course, Turk fucks it up and we see that he starts to cry and get emotional.

And he, and he starts to do the cad emotional and he and he starts to do the Caddyshack gopher dance right and JD's like not go yeah yeah JD's like don't do the gopher dance don't do the gopher dance and of course uh Turk does do the gopher dance what an idiot he ends up giving him false hope well but I don't know I don't know how false the hope is Turkk he turk gets the idea from a sports center and he runs down to ask his boss carla um if if he should go for it if he should try this experimental treatment that um you know if it doesn't go

right they could they could be in he could be in trouble they could he could be sued and carla says what would you do if it was our son and he said said, this is what I'd do. And she says, well, then do that. That's the most realist answer ever. What would you do if it was our kids? I'd do everything I could. I think you know what the answer is. And he goes and does it. Now, this is where it gets iffity-dippity.

That shit's just available. This experimental therapy is just available in Sacred Heart? That's a good point. I don't know. It comes out of nowhere. Turk gets access to it pretty quickly. Yeah, like it's nothing. Yeah.

Now, the janitor is holding hands with Todd and Zeltser because he wants to show them that it's not a big deal to hold hands because he's in a spiral about this hand-holding thing. Those are the wrong two people to hold hands with, though. Yeah. Todd calls dibs on Lady even though he doesn't know who she is. Dibs! And then Zeltzer

reports that he wanted to tell his wife that she was the one, but at the time he had a rubber ball gag in his mouth. Yeah, because they were staring at each other uh in front of a fire right and he wanted to tell her how much that's when he realized he was so much in love with her and he would have told her if he didn't have a ball gag in his mouth yeah i also i forgot i skipped over when turk does the gopher dance, he's laughing and he says, look, there's a 90% chance that that gopher was a puppet.

Yeah. Turk thinks that there's still a 10% chance that that was a real gopher in Caddyshack. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words.

Seven questions, limitless answers. Kelso thinks it's hilarious that the janitor's getting dumped. And that's the end of the act. And when we come back, someone says,

I like to drive my points home with a lie. Who's that? You. Oh, you say that all right which is totally which is bill lawrence by the way bill lawrence is famous for oh my god driving his points he's one of the best but he's he's famous for driving his points home with the lie but the lie is always so much better than what reality was at that moment if you know so long enough you'll hear the evolution of a story to like to

the point where it's nowhere near what happened but it's my favorite one my favorite one and we might have to cut this i'll ask him we'll ask him if we have to cut this though is so his youngest son recently got caught taking the car out right and uh bill finally, shit, the car's missing. And so before he calls the cops, he calls his son, and is like, hey, do you have the car? He's like, you have the car, and you're on Sunset Boulevard right now. Bring the car home. And Henry goes, hold up.

I just have to pay. We just have to finish paying for lunch. That's the real story. No, that's not the real story. The real story, and so he's like, so now I have to punish Henry. The real story is when he called, Henry was up the block with the car and was like, okay, I'm on my way back right now. Don't be mad.

Oh, yeah. Well, all I know is that bill's stories always get super exaggerated and then you know there's the story i've told before when i on this podcast but it's one of my favorite bill stories is when i was editing my episode and i said to him uh don't don't cut that joke that joke's so funny and he goes i showed that joke to krista and she didn't even understand what the hell it meant and i was like oh okay i guess all right meant. And I was like, oh, okay. I guess, all right, fine, cut it. And then like a week later, I saw Krista and I was like, you didn't think that joke was funny?

She goes, you honestly think that I'm home watching rough cuts of Scruggs? He's the best at it though, man. His stories, like he tells stories and you're like, damn, that's a fucking good story, dude. I got to remember that. And you'll even know that it's the exaggerated version, but you're like damn that's a fucking good story dude i gotta remember that and you'll even know that it's the exaggerated version but you're like it's so good i don't mind just tell it i don't care just go ahead go ahead okay oh the janitor says that he never wants to have kids he just wants to adopt a really short old guy now let's be honest

yes little short old men are cute. Yeah, but I don't want to have to feed one. You don't want to have to change one's diapers, whatever it boils down to, because that's a massive doo-doo. Right, and then an old guy walks by him in the cafeteria, and he says, you got a daddy? He goes, you got a papa? And the guy shakes his head, and then the janitor turns to the group and says, just window shopping.

Window shopping for old people. Nobody cares about JD and Elliot dating, man. No, they're over it. Everybody's over it. And I was over it, too. I'm over it, too, to be honest with you. It's sort of like, it is like Ross and Rachel, man. By season eight, I don't give a shit anymore, dude.

Everybody's over it. By the way, a little funny thing here Scrubs Wiki pointed out is that JD has a memory of telling Turk about the first time he met Elliot, and again, there's all this talk about her having a flat butt, just like JD likes him, and all this stuff.

But that's bullshit, because we, the audience, witnessed the first time Elliot was met by JD and Turk in the pilot. We were all together. And they were together. And there was a Ms. Pac-Man machine. I don't think that's what it is.

And Turk goes, Elliot. And she goes, yeah, don't do that. Remember? Yeah. Well, I thought that when I saw it. And then Scrubs Wiki confirmed it. Yeah. Yeah.

We learned that Lady's a germaphobe. That's why she doesn't want to hold his hand. She finally comes clean. She's never told anyone, but she likes the janitor so much. She wants to be seen as her true, honest self. And so she comes clean and says, I am a germaphobe. And he immediately judges her and calls her weird. Does he?

Yeah. He goes, oh, I you're weird you're weird and then but he immediately follows it with i like that i like that yes and he warns her immediately that the table she's touching is covered with germs yeah probably because he's the janitor and he never cleans anything never but he doesn't warn her that he's beyond weird well that's why they like each other i think they're both weird i think she might be beyond weird too because she said you're the spitting image of my father yeah yeah you're my therapist says that maybe i'm attracted to you because you're in you know

the cleaning service and you're a spitting image of my dad but that's nothing that i mean that's another scribs uh wiki moment is that when we first see Lady in whatever episode it is, she's holding hands with the janitor. So that's bullshit. And then in the end, Jordan acquiesces and puts on her own wedding ring. I cried. You cried? I thought it was really beautiful.

That was really cute. Jordan is so uncomfortable with being vulnerable, which is why she's so fucking funny. She makes sure nobody can get to her. She'll just destroy you first. And I think to Donald's earlier point, they had all this bad stuff

about their marriage. She's very happy with where she's at. At the top of the episode, she's going around firing people in the name of her husband she's just like she's comfortable and so this change really scared her and she talks the whole time about how she's just gonna like i'll just nag perry until he decides to take it off or whatever but in the end she's like she just accepts his love and it's so beautiful she like allows herself to be vulnerable and i also just think it's the idea of putting on a wedding ring, not as a performative act or because of what you're supposed to do, but like this is almost their wedding.

Like it's more important than a marriage. It made her feel good. It made him feel good to be connected to her through this ring, this bond. It's not for anybody else. I'm not putting this on to show everybody else that, you know, he made a joke about it being to, you know, steer away cougars or whatever it was and stuff like that. But it's really, it had nothing to do with any of that. It's just the fact when I put this on, it makes me feel good to know that it's connected to you in some way. And that was pretty awesome.

That was a great moment. Like the evolution of Cox and Jordan is really good. It starts with her sleeping with JD and then turns into this real, real, real, real deep relationship. not to be married and not to have to have that pressure put on them and still have children and still do all of the things that a family would do but just not have that that i belong to you you belong to me uh uh stamp on it which marriage does well they found a way to be with each other and uh it is it is romantic in their own wacky way and the cold therapy seems like it helps we it doesn't it doesn't resolve that it seems like it's fixed everything but it looks like it's it's it's uh it's it's positive right his fingers going back to the hand that his fingers start to

move do you remember when christopher reeve moved his finger no i do do you remember that joelle i don't know if i was alive yet. I remember it. Yeah, no memory of that. You just said I didn't think I was alive yet? Joelle, you weren't alive when Christopher Reeve was walking? I don't remember him walking, to be honest. I know Christopher Reeve's from the Superman movies, but I didn't follow.

Like, as a kid, I wasn't following his trajectory. What year did his accident happen, Dale? May 27th 1995 so we were definitely alive for sure but yeah we were not paying attention at that point wow i was just out of i was out of high school for three years i knew him and dana actually i did a play with dana i did a play with dana uh uh called the prince and the pauper directed by elizabeth suedos off broadway uh j Jesse L. Martin was in it. Dan Finnerty from the Dan Band.

Myself. And Dana Reeves was one of the actresses in the show. And Christopher Reeves would come by. And this was when, you know, when you met me, Zach, you know how much of a fan of Superman I was. Like, I had the tattoo. Yeah, he had a Superman tattoo that he's slowly trying to laser off. But you haven't had a laser session in a long time.

In a while. No, not in a while. But I had a necklace when I was younger. Like, all types of things. Like, I looked up to the character Superman. And so for him to be there and watch us rehearse and give notes to us and everything like that. Because I thought he was an amazing actor also. Not just as Superman, but like, he'd done so many Because I thought he was an amazing actor also, not just as Superman,

but like he'd done so many other movies. He was an accomplished theater actor, as I recall. But he also did some really great movies like Once in Time, I think it is with him. And I think it's Jane Seymour where he goes back in time in a hotel. He goes to a hotel and goes back in time what was it what was the one that he did with michael cain death death what death wish which one what not

death wish oh man the one that he did with michael cain that was based on a play i don't know you don't know i don't know wow but um do you think of um christopher Reeve when you think about horseback riding? Because I would like to learn how to ride a horse, but I have to admit that I always think of him, and I know I ride a motorcycle, so that's even more dangerous. But it always has stopped me a little bit from doing it. I remember asking, I remember when I met William Shatner, he was in a wheelchair.

And I was like, what are you doing in a wheelchair, bro? And he was like, I was riding a horse, and it threw me off, and I broke my legs riding a horse. Oof. Yeah. And so now I'm in a wheelchair. And this dude's like 70-something at the time. And I remember in my mind thinking

these are reasons why i never took up horseback riding because of one christopher reeve and i know but i love horses every time i see them i think how fun it would be to be able to to ride it maybe if i just maybe it's just in slow i don't ski because of sunny bono you know what i mean like word life. Like these are real things, dude. Like this is not. These are not jokes. You just got to go horseback riding.

It's fun as hell. You just got to not take an adventurous horse out. Like one of the ones that's been around the track like 47 times. Hold on. It's different though. Horseback riding on a trail with a guide in Mexico or in Hawaii. That's something different. Freaking jumping over shit

on a horse that's what he was doing though yeah but that's what I'm saying just riding a horse I've ridden on the beach in Aruba that was fun that's totally different Zach you know how you have your pilot's license

and everything like that when John Denver went down in that plane I was like I'm not going to fly a plane. I'll do it in the movies. Like, that's how I look. It wasn't a glider. It was a plane. It was a jet.

It was experimental, at least. What was it? Can you look it up, Daniel? He didn't, for what it's worth. A lot of people have those. Obviously, a lot of people die in plane crashes. There was just one in Southern California this weekend. Who was it again?

Yeah. John Denver. What kind of craft did John Denver die in? But I've seen those planes before. I've seen them before though, I think. Since then. Yes, of course, flying is dangerous, Donald. Of course it is.

All of this is about the risk. Adrian Davis Long EZ is an experimental plane. I knew it was an experimental plane. Not that people don't die in regular planes, but for what it's worth, for the story, it was an experimental plane.

Experimental category, amateur built, Long Easy plane kit, N555JD. Yeah, he like built it. That's wild. The movie we're thinking of, Donald, was Death Trap from 1982. Death Trap, yes. All right, let's take a break. we'll be right back after these fine words when you find that bright spot to help you get through

I love the pod and have enjoyed every episode. Thanks, Katie. This podcast showed me

I loved Broadway. Donald and Zach, you have always speak and sing so lovingly at Broadway shows. I knew I had to give them a try. I am proud to say I saw Moulin Rouge twice. Cats, Wicked, Hamilton,

Les Mis, sadly not with Preston, and Beetlejuice. Thank you for having Preston on. I loved behind the scenes. Wow, that's so cool. A Broadway convert, Donald. We've done our work here.

I can't believe it. That's a lot of shows. She spent a lot of money, too. She did spend a lot of money. Wow. That lady has some disposable income she is out and about well that's great and i love it also if you want to go see broadway and you um want to save some money there's a thing in the center of times square called the tkts booth

and what you do is you get online there. And when the shows haven't sold all their tickets, they give them to the T K T S booth and sell them at half off. So you just have to be open to seeing what's available. My father used to do this all the time. We would just get in line. And then when you get up to the front, they're like, here's what we have. And it's half off. And then you go see whatever they have. And it's a it's a great way to see the shows um in a discounted way yes and if your city has a broadway type space they probably have one of these two you can go to the box office of almost any musical theater uh and if you have a student id they'll often give you additional discounts there you go and like you know yeah

and also keep your eyes out for tours that come through. Because if you live in a major city, odds are that a Broadway tour is going to come through. And you can see a lot of these shows in your town. I'm seeing the new Betty Boop musical next week. I'm so excited. Betty Boop? Yes, with a black Betty Boop. The traditional Betty Boop. Love that.

In a musical. That'd be great. Betty Boop was black that. In a musical. That'd be great. Betty Boop was black. She was? Yeah, the original Betty Boop was black, but drawn as a white woman. Interesting. She's based off of a black performer.

Ah. I mean, that tracks. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, go check out Broadway, everyone, and thanks so much for the letter. Thanks, T-Mobile. Did you know that at T-Mobile,
