It's doing really well. I saw the numbers. It's doing well. Yes, it's doing well. The critics hate us, but you know what? That's how it goes. You know what, though? Critics hate us, but you know what?

That's how it goes. You know what, though? I got to tell you that, you know, you made a family sitcom that everybody can watch with their kids. It's not exactly the kind of thing critics stereotypically are going to go, you know, apeshit for. Somebody said to me, and then it made a lot of sense. sense if a critic likes your sitcom your sitcom's probably not going to last on television very long because it's a very small group of people that are it's a niche type of sitcom because critics have seen every sitcom that's ever been on so yours is now niche and so now critics are like it's very different right nobody. Nobody wants a different sitcom. We are what you are looking for when it comes to sitcom television.

Right. And I also think that, amen, and I also think that parents are, you know, you hear all the time people being like, what the fuck can I watch with my kids? Because everything on TV that's cool and that people love is edgy. And, you know, people are always looking for something. and that people love is edgy. And people are always looking for something. What can they put on after dinner at 8.30? Or I suppose you could TV. I was about to say TV.

You can stream it or whatever. We're old. We're old, bro. I know. I was about to say videotape. And watch with your kids. And you made that. You made a wholesome sitcom that's funny,

that everybody can watch together. So don't worry about negative reviews. That is with John Cryer, dude. It's with freaking John Cryer. Look, if you follow me on Instagram or my career at all, there are two people in my, other than Harrison Ford, there are two people in my life that had a big influence on me as a teenager. And that was Kadeem Hardison as Dwayne Wayne, and then Jon Cryer as Ducky. That character, I mish them together, and that's who I played in high school. You know what I mean? Because nobody, let's keep it 100, nobody's who they really are in high school. We're all- Facts. You know what I mean? We're all playing a role. But anyway, that was the character I decided to

play in a high school full of actors and stuff like that, musicians. Did you wear the glasses with the fold up? I did, but both of them had the glasses, if you recall. Oh, they did. So that's the thing you like. You like the glasses. Not just the glasses, the hat, the vest. Sometimes maybe wear a bow tie to school. Maybe not. You know what I mean? You know, I ran into your cast at an Emmys

pre-party, and I was so funny. I was like your wife. I was like, he's having so much fun with you guys. Like clutching my pearls, being like, he just loves being with you guys. Listen, we want you on the show. How about that? If you write me a funny cameo, I don't want to you guys. Listen, we want you on the show. How about that?

Well, if you write me a funny cameo, I don't want to do a cameo. I want a good part. No, you'll have a good part. I'm not coming in so the audience goes, woo! No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not going to be that. I want a good part. You have way too much television talent to just race for.

Yeah, I just don't want to be a woo, Donald. Basically, in all aspects of my life, I'm just trying to do things where I'm not just a woo. Yeah, no doubt. Woo! Well, I like to be, hey, keep it 100. After sex, a nice woo is necessary sometimes. Does Casey say woo after you have sex with her?

No. She has an orgasm and she's like, woo. That'd be awesome. That'd be the best day ever. Imagine your spouse after, or whoever, your lover, whatever you guys have just, whoever it is, after you have just climaxed and they have climaxed, they go, woo.

Love it. I missed you you look hot at the critics choice awards I saw you that was a nice suit you looked hot at all of these parties I saw you at well I only went to a couple I did I did have a really cool hang with your with your boy Harrison last night yeah you did you guys look like you were doing it big I gotta say the coolest thing-

I come out on stage at the Critics. Sorry to cut you off, buddy. I come and this is the last time, I promise. I'm just excited about just all this shit. I don't know how we're going to do a show. I have 9,000 things to talk about. I know. I'm going to do an hour and a half show, but go ahead.

It's impossible. All of this stuff is new to me. When Scrubs was going on, you were the star of Scrubs. Well, it was an ensemble, but you were the head of the ensemble and you were the star of it. And so you had to do, and you were there all the time. And so the show really surrounded around you and you had to go and do all of this press and stuff like that and get out and do, you know, but we were young and we had the stamina for it and everything. Right. So now as an adult, it's a joke that was made at the award show.

But when I was younger, I definitely wanted to be at the award shows and get my picture taken and everything like that. Now I get it. It's for press and we're there to make everybody happy. You know what I mean? At the studio, for the network, so the fans can see us and know that our show is out there and everything. But I wanted to be at my kid's basketball game. Anyway, I got dressed up,

we go out and everything. And it's exactly when I was younger, what I wanted. You know what I mean? It was exactly that. As an adult, you know, I'm literally in between the show at the Critics Choice, I'm'm watching on Live Barn my kid play basketball and everything like that. And looking up, you know what I mean? Trying to applaud when I'm supposed to applaud and stuff. You don't want to get caught on the camera watching your phone. Because people won't know it's something as sweet as watching your kid's basketball game. They'll be like, this motherfucker's bored and watching YouTube. Right, he's bored watching sports, right.

Right, exactly. But it's exactly what I wanted. this basketball game and be like this motherfucker's bored watching YouTube bored watching sports right right exactly but it's exactly what I wanted all of the big celebrities and stars were in the house at this bad boy and it was like wow this is

this is cool this is great alright but uh yeah I really wanted to be watching my kid as a kid

I just want to give you that's very sweet you're a very good dad and that makes my heart warm but I also want to say you're a very good dad and that makes my heart warm but i also want to say you looked great i like that suit that was a nice suit i like paul smith baby yeah he looks great you know i'm gonna be honest can i be honest with you real quick we don't want any lies on this show okay here we go that's something that wardrobe put together for me oh oh from your show mashup of Dolce & Gabbana,

Paul Smith. My shoes were definitely Louis Vuitton because the bottoms were red. What's the red bottoms? That's Louis Vuitton. It matched the carpet like, woo! It was fancy. Like how I like it after sex.

Woo! Oh, so you had Louboutins and green... It was like a green velvet? Yeah, Paul Smith. And then Dolce & Gabbana pants. Yeah, you clean up nice, baby. You clean up nice.

Thank you. Haircut by Vaughn. I got to go to a... I went to the Apple party last night after the Emmys, and that was really cool. You looked fire, dude. Really? You looked handsome. That picture of you, Harrison, and Bill, you guys looked like the Rat Pack type shit, man.

It was dope. Thank you. I just threw on a little something. The cool thing is we're about to gear up and start shrinking season two. And I am directing episodes number three and number four. Ooh. So I'm really excited. I love the show. I love the cast.

And, you know, it's just cool, you know, with Harrison and all that mayhem, you know, with all these people vying for his attention, With all these people vying for his attention, I had this kind of cool moment where he did that thing where he called me over and said, come sit down next to me and talk to me. So that's obviously very surreal, even though I know him now. But it also was cool just because seeing the whole cast and getting excited. I don't know. I'm stoked. Those of you outside the business, I'm sure know we've been on strike for so long. And I'm just so excited to go be creative because it's been so long since I've been able to do anything creative. And I love this show.

And I have so much fun doing it. And then Lasso, too. I mean, even though I'm just a minuscule part of it, it was just kind of cool to see all the Lasso gang from – For those of you who don't know, I directed an episode of Lasso, season one, episode two. You got nominated for an Emmy. I did. It might be your favorite episode because it's the one about the biscuits. But no, it was cool to see the whole Lasso gang.

Because when I directed Lasso, none of it had happened yet. I directed episode two of season one. And I was like, this show's cute and funny and everyone's really talented. And I think people are going to like it. And then I left. You know what's crazy about that? So I'm seeing all that.

I'm seeing all these cast members being like, you guys remember like, they were all unknown other than obviously Jason and Hannah was a bit known. And Juno, sorry. Some of them were known. But all the young guys, I was like, oh my gosh, you guys. It's so crazy to see you after all that's happened to you. That was just a fun, full circle moment.

What's crazy about that is we talk about it a lot. Early on when you're developing what the show is the first few episodes the directors that come in they're really the ones that formulate what is to come for the next if the show's successful yeah for the next few seasons that biscuit thing ran for a really really really really really long time you know what i mean all the way to the end almost i mean well at the end of the season when they figured out that he's making them shits himself. No,

that was not, that was the end of my episode, Donald, but thanks for being a big fan. More importantly, I think what I got to do

was set sort of the heart of it. You know, the pilot is really, really funny of Lasso, but then season, episode two was the first one that was like,

oh, don't worry, we're going to break your heart too. And I don't know, it's just so cool and I'm happy for them. And shrinking is just so much fun to work on.

And then there's another new Bill Lawrence drop coming out, not till the summer, unfortunately. But I did a little character arc on his new Vince Vaughn show called Bad Monkey that's going to be really good, too. Can I say one last thing about the Critics' Choice? It does involve Bill Lawrence, too. You can say one last thing about The Critic's Choice? It does involve Bill Lawrence too. You can say whatever you want. This is your podcast. I walk out on stage to present the award for limited series

with my castmates from the extended family, Abigail Spencer, John Cryer. We walk out on stage. Who's in the front looking right at me but Bill Lawrence, Neil Goldman, Harrison Ford, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel. Yeah. So we walk out, and right away, yo, oh, oh,

they start screaming at me on stage with these guys. So we start screaming back. I don't know if it got caught on television, but we're screaming live at each other. It was really nice to run down when it goes black and they're announcing the nominees and everything to give Bill a hug and everything like that. It comes full circle.

Oh, you ran off the stage during the package? Yeah, I ran off the stage. Wow. Gave him a hug. That's really, really, really scandalous. Get back up on stage. And freaking John Cryer goes, really, really scandalous. Get back up on stage. And freaking John Cryer goes, Donald, you were two hugs away from Harrison Ford. I looked down, Harrison standing dead center in the middle of the table.

And I'm like, shit, I made the right choice. But, oh, man, I could have. If I could have just stayed a little bit longer. You know, this season, Donald, because last season was COVID and so many rules. This season, I think you can come visit us on the Warner Brothers lot and come say hi and meet your favorite. There we go. I would love that a lot.

That would be nice. Hell yeah. That would be nice just to kick it with him. I wonder if he still smokes weed or if he ever did. Hell yeah. He was a carpenter hanging out with Carrie, probably. He once, we were doing this bit in the episode I directed where he had to keep slamming a door and a little bit, I don't know if I told this story before, sorry if I did, but a little bit of the, the molding around the door came off and everyone

was like, Oh, somebody call a carpenter. He goes, he's like, are you kidding me? I got this. I was a carpenter. And he starts kicking it and kicking it and fixing the molding by kicking it back in. It was funny. That's amazing. We definitely haven't heard that story. No, that's the first. Wow. What else can else we we got to talk about the emmys that was um i personally loved succession and i loved the bear and so i was happy that they they dominated um i haven't seen beef i don't know if you guys have seen beef but love i've never watched any of these shows we know that donald the audience knows the audience knows that you don't like hold on man, man. The names of these shows.

Okay, so Secession, not necessarily the name of that one, but the beat on the theme song for that one is fire. Yes. Yeah. That's one of the most fire theme songs ever. Yeah, I agree. I miss hearing it. Beef is the dopest, one of the dopest names for a show.

Because back in the day, beef was a hip hop thing. Yo, you got beef? Yeah, I got beef. You got beef? Yeah, we got beef. And that meant you were ready to, you hated each other and you guys were ready to throw down.

It's gone so far into the mainstream. Well, it is about a beef. Into the main vein. You realize it is, I haven't seen the show, but it is about a main vein vein you realize it is the i haven't seen the show but it is about a beef between two people yes wow they cleaned up that that is uh i mean you gotta watch it now right how could you not watch it after one you have to watch it now yeah you gotta watch it now yeah all of these shows freaking succession you to go back and watch that now. I love Succession. I knew the moment I saw, as a director, Connor's wedding on Succession,

I was like, this will win every single Emmy. And it did. I called it. I called it back after the fucking cut to black on that episode. It's a great one. Right, Joelle? It hits you right in the heart. Oh, God.

Oh, man. And Karen Culkin, I'm so happy for him. He just seems like such a nice guy. Truly. Since he was a kid. We went to school together, me and that kid. Since he was a kid, I've known him. Wow, that's right.

He's always been a good kid. There's a lot of guys and gals, but my brain went to the guys who have just been doing this so long. They're finally having their moment. Like Jeremy Allen White and Eben Moss and Kiernan. Macy Nash? Come on. Yes. There's so many.

Macy's been around for a very long time. I just, I'm just so happy for people that have been like journeymen, actors and actresses who are, as the people say, I think this is correct, Joelle, getting their flowers. Yes. Yes, indeed. It's lovely. Because it's very hard in this town. There's so many ups and downs.

There's so many years. I mean, that was very moving when Kiernan was saying, like, the thing about, he said something about, so my manager has been with me even when no one would you know consider me for things and and just i'm always very moved when people finally get their their moment of recognition for their talent i just find it very very moving amen it makes it all seem worth it but this is also a town that's very what's next you know what i mean of course as as as much as it's awesome that everybody won awards last night, it's not over. We still got to keep pushing. And congratulations to everyone that won, obviously.

But what's next? Well, they get a little time, Donald. They get a little time to hold their Emmy and feel good. But in about a month, they'll be like, oh God, I'll never work again. Right.

It's true. When you have a hit and when you have something that works, you're like, this is the universe. This is all the universe is ever going to give me.

I'm going to... Right. Even Chris Nolan was like, you know, who never won. can shockingly he never won a golden globe uh and and he that's just crazy and he was up there being like i think you know if i'm not mistaken he said something like in in case i'm never up here again or something like that but uh you know you get your you get your moment and uh i don't know i like award shows

i mean it's also silly like what art is better than other art but i just love i love actors and i love directors and i just love seeing it seeing everybody be happy i hate that the award shows are so focused on actors and not that i don't love actors and directors and everything like that i think that when we were younger there were so many categories you know what i mean and the categories were seen on television yeah and i thought that was really cool you know what i mean like you know i ran into phil and chris uh who did spider verse and they got their award on the carpet, they found out. They got their, that's where they found out. They got their award.

Oh, no. Yeah, man. Which is insane if you think about the amount of artistry and work that went into that award. Right, exactly. Into one, into that movie, just think about how much time and effort went into that and they found out on the red carpet you know what i mean i know it's like it's crazy to me i know what about

cinematography and and yeah and costume design and productions i like the fact that those aren't presented i guess just you know the the i i think they assume probably rightly i don't know that the that the public who's not mega into TV and film doesn't care. They just want to see the stars, I guess. Right. Yeah. We're not seeing a change in viewership numbers, though. So I hope they turn it around and bring it back.

Nobody really cares. Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like if the whole premise of your awards is to celebrate the community of creatives and let's give, I mean, fricking we miss Nick Offerman's speech for one of the best guest roles in a drama ever. Cause he had to do it at the creative arts Emmy.

So I just feel like, you know, it would be great. I miss seeing costumes and makeup design and even the sound people. Cause then they show the clips and it's like, if you don't know how that stuff works, you get these like really short bite-sized clips that are like, this is i mean the oscars were my introduction to the entertainment industry at large like what are all the jobs you can do what are all the positions right and if

that's not there i think kids who you know don't grow up inside of the entertainment industry miss out on a lot and so i hope i hope awards goes back to I mean, not awarding the cinematographer. I mean, everything you're looking at and appreciating is the photography. And the fact that that's, I don't even know if there were, I'm sure it was at the Creative Arts Emmys. I don't know what won cinematography in television this year. There's so many platforms, too, i don't know it seems like the award show has gotten gotten very specific uh and it's who's in the audience and that's cool because i'm not gonna lie it was cool to see robert downey jr the other night that was really fucking cool did you say hi to him i didn't say shit i't say. The only person I spoke to really was Reese Witherspoon.

I spoke to her daughter. And I got another story I got to tell. So this happened. This is the last story I'll tell about this award show. Because this is the first time ever in the history that this has ever happened to me before by someone in my own race. We're sitting there with a bunch of people at the table and a young african-american lady comes up to me and goes mr gooding i just have to say no no yes yes oh god you don't look anything like him mr gooding yes i'm so sorry

i'm sorry that happened to you. I just love you. And I go, let me stop you right there, young lady. I am not Cuba Gooding Jr. Or his brother, Omar. Oh, no. And she immediately doesn't apologize or anything. Stands up and just walks away. Oh. And walks away oh oh walks away i was like and so this is in front of john crier and abigail spencer

and this is she was so embarrassed she had to just walk away this is the first time african american any woman has ever done this like do you know how much you don't even look like him though I mean I get congratulated for fuck listen like inside I'm laughing hard but the other part of me is like I don't even look like the brother man like we don't even last night a woman came up to me at the

apple party and she said and there's two women and they were very lovely and she said I love you so much. And I said, thank you. I really appreciate that. She goes, it's just you're amazing. And I said, thank you.

You're so sweet. Thank you so much. She goes, armchair expert is my favorite. She thought you were Dax? She thought I was Dax. Oh, no. But I at least look like Dax. This is crazy, dude.

I at least look like Dax. I don't look anything like Kubrick Jr. other than the fact that we have similar skin color. And I think his is a little bit more golden. I'm so used to people thinking that I'm Dax that I just, I know they're going to be embarrassed. And so I feel bad almost telling them. Sometimes I just walk away.

And other times I'm just like oh you're thinking of of Dax I also have a podcast it's called Fake Doctors you should check it out I don't go into like my career I'm always like you know since you like podcasts I feel like I'll just get one quick plug in with one person

that's an extra year I had a super cringe moment by the way last night that I came. I'm not drinking. I haven't had a drink in a very long time. But this is the kind of thing you would have happened drinking. But I got home last night and I got in the tub. I've been taking a lot of hot baths at the end of the day, which I really recommend.

I have like a great epiphanies in the tub. Hot bath rules. A hot bath at the end of the night. No phone, nothing. Just sitting there thinking and you can have some i have some really great thoughts and creative ideas but anyway this one was a bad one i pulled up i went with i went with amanda clutes to the apple party and as we're pulling up i see this woman and again obviously 100 sober and i God, she, this woman, I have to tell you this crazy story,

beating my career. She, and I go in this whole story and we get out of the car and I see the woman and I start referencing the story and I start telling her thank you for something she did for me when I was first starting out. And she's just being so sweet and nodding and kind. And I made like three references

and I had told Amanda. So Amanda was like, that's so sweet what you did for Zach and we go into the party and I'm in my tub at the end of the night and I went I think that's a fucking different woman perfect and it's so cringe but she was so lovely because I'm'm 99.999 sure it was not her and and she was like nodding and smiling and being lovely but i'm like that's not the woman that i think it was and in the past i could have like blamed that on like you idiot you got too buzzed like no i was stone cold no dude you were fine it's all right though somebody feels good it's all right you saw the dave chappelle jump off somebody's living you were in somebody's

dream somebody you were in somebody's dream giving them all the affirmation they ever wanted and everything like that from you it's so funny that i was laughing at myself like here i am went to a giant party night didn't even have a sip of booze i'm sitting here in my tub my tub thinking session and i'm like you still managed to say something so cringe what happens shit happens well yeah i mean one of the nelson twins when i was at sushi once came up to me while i was eating and like a little bit more than a whisper because it was sushi and you have to talk louder than the people goes Alfonso. You don't look like Alfonso either. I know it's crazy.

The dag shit I have to take because we do look like brothers, but, uh, and I, and I, I always try and be sweet about it, but these people you don't look like. Yeah. There's no star. Not only have i been mistaken for somebody else by a celebrity but also by somebody from my own ethnicity yeah i want to go back because joelle found the cinematography um christian springer for atlanta

which is incredibly shot and um m david mullen for the marvelous mrs mazel which is also incredibly shot they do these epic runners um on mazel that are so cool and i i sent a video to bill of one of them like the because on on instagram didn't notice i love cinematography so it sends me all these videos and the top half will be like the shot and the set and the bottom half is the is the behind the scenes shooting the shot. And it was one of these, like such an epic one or like all around a giant set. And it went on for like, like probably five minutes.

And I sent it to bill. I was like, we need to do shit like this, but check this out. That's another show though, right there. When you're hot, Holy cow,

you're hot. That one, everything in the beginning, nothing's really changed. You just said it so yourself. The shots are amazing. I don't doubt the acting has changed or anything like that. It just had its moment, dude.

It got so much love. They won so many awards. It's just now there's new kids on the block, you know? Yeah, man. All these shows, everything that was nominated and beyond. There was so much good television this year um but you know things things become the zeitgeist holy shit have you not seen the bear i mean that have you not seen succession they just become like the most beloved things it's so hard to make as we've discussed on here so many times something for everyone you're not you know it's so rare

that something breaks through and is so universally loved um and and and so that's what that's what happens it's just like and and sometimes sometimes the critics and everyone loves something that audiences don't and succession and the and The Bear, just as examples, are shows that just everybody fucking loves. Yeah, man. This year, congratulations to everyone who won from that show. And I hope it pushes the needle forward on your career, because that's what we all hope.

You know what I mean? It's not just the recognition of what you did. It's the possibilities of what you can do, you know, as well. I hope it's all that everyone hopes for. Amen, Donald.

I just want to say that during the holiday, my movie, a good person finally ended up on prime. This is a humble brag. This is a humble brag. It's a humble brag, but it's just a cool ending because I, I didn't know when the movie got to prime that it was going to blow up like that. But the second it got to prime, and then it was the holidays, so I was like, oh, it went to number one on prime in all of prime movies.

And it was the holidays, and I was thinking like, oh, my God, like the Christmas movies are going to kick this movie out real quick. But at least I got to number one. And then they dropped the Eddie Murphy original Christmas movie, which, of course, was went to number one. And I was like, OK, my time here is done. And then for like two weeks, I was at like number two. I was at number three. And it was just like me in the Christmas movies chilling in the top 10 on Prime and it was just such a good feeling.

So I just wanted, from the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone who's listening, who took the time to see it, who took the time to tell their friends to see it because that is, I got a note from someone at Amazon. She's like, that is so many, she said millions of people are seeing your movie and that is more people than would ever see it in the theaters.

And that's just all I could ever hope for. And so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Love that. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys.

What we view as successful, everybody wants the holy trinity of successful. You know what I mean? Not only do the critics love it, but the people love it. And then also they watch it and they go to see it. You know what I mean? Everybody wants that when successful. But successful, if you just get one or two of those, holy shit, how lucky are you? You know what I mean? But to make it accessible to where your fans can see it, you know what I mean? It's it accessible to where your fans can see it you know what I mean it's hard to get to a movie theater nowadays and as much as I want people in the movie theaters as much as I want people to go to movies it's hard you got to be freaking Tom Cruise you know

what I mean you got to be it's difficult you know I think the time you know I don't know that I'll release it when I make another indie dramedy I don't know that it'll even it'll even be a thing where it goes to the theater it's it's it's just a it's like a dying it's a dying thing the the idea of i don't know if it's okay well i'm not just not just i'm going to be a little fatalistic if you don't mind i think as i i heard this famous uh uh screenwriter say, eventually the theater, movie theater is going to be like the ballet in that there's a select group of people that love it and adore it and go, but it's, it's not going to be the norm for the viewing experience.

And that may be sound very dire, but it's kind of happening. Of course, there's Barbie. Of course, there's Top Gun. Of course there's Oppenheimer. I'm not saying there won't always be these giant wins. But if you look at the macro, when Garden State came out of Sundance,

you went to go see what was the cool movies that came out of Sundance. That was a thing. Because they weren't going to be on your TV forever. And then you were going to have to buy them on Blu-ray or whatever it was at the time. You had to get the Criterion Collection. No, we haven't made that yet. I hope not. We're about to be 20 years.

I'm hoping they honor us with one. Oh, that would be amazing. But anyway, my point is just that now, what Donald's saying, you know, people, it's the movie-going experience is reserved for, obviously, you take your kids to something that's kid-friendly. Horror does extraordinarily well still because people want to experience that in a theater. Obviously, the big tentpole movies. Obviously, the big action movies. But I don't know that the indie drama has a theatrical life for much longer.

Joelle, I don't know what your thoughts on this as our cultural reporter. Sure. I think if you talk to a lot of people who have worked at movie theaters for a long time, I'm talking your 20 plus years, what they'll tell you is there used to be folks who would come to the movie every weekend. It didn't matter what was playing. They would come on Friday nights and see the new releases. They said those people are not coming around so much anymore.

It used to be an affordable thing retirees could do. It's a lot more expensive to go see a movie, even if you have an AMC like subs card where you pay your $25 a month, you always get three tickets a week. And so I definitely think that it's changing. It'll be interesting. Even teenagers, I think typically that was like,

when I was a kid, that was like our hangout spot. Like you went to the movies on the weekends. It was cheap. Every town had, i grew up in a very small town uh every local community had like its movie theater uh i i think it's definitely going to change it'll be interesting to see how it's i think with your uh alamo draft houses and such it'll i think perhaps that will be where your indie movies go to get their special screenings, things like that. So we'll have to see. I'm looking forward to more 35 millimeter prints. Let's do it.

Film community. That's not happening, Joelle. Yeah, don't kill my dreams. Talk about the ballet. That's like a special ballet. Don't kill my dreams. Joelle's like, let's go back to film. Let's film it all again.

Yes, 100%. Let's make it so every take matters. Only certain people get to shoot film, and that list is shrinking and shrinking. It's true. It's tough. All right, should we take a break, I assume? Yes.

And then we're going to talk about this very bizarre episode of Scrubs. No Zach Braff. Should we 5, 6, 7, 8? There you go. Please, Donald. I think I justff. Should we five, six, seven, eight? There you go. Please, Donald. I think I just did. Should I do it again? Yeah, give me a real one.

Just a move to it. Yeah, yeah. We haven't been here in forever. Don't yell because there's women nursing. But, you know, give us a good one. All right, for those of you who are nursing, now might be the time to cover your baby's eyes. Five, six, seven, eight. I said stories about a show we made.

About a bunch of docs and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said here's our stories that you all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. All right, welcome to Fake Doctors, Real Friends. We're running out of Scrubs episodes, but fear not. We really love doing this show, and we're going to keep doing it. Are we due for a break? Because we've been talking for a while, right?

Daniel, Joelle, are you just going to put a fake one in there? I might put one in the pre intro, but I feel like that would be silly. I mean, I don't know. Maybe we'll just have a couple very short breaks in the after, so don't worry about it. We'll take one in like 10 minutes. You know what would be really cool is if we went 5, 6, 7, 8,

and then went right to break. We'd come back from it. I don't think that's good TV. It's called Rewriter with Zach and Donald. No. Propecia. We don't do Propecia.

I don't know. I'm making shit up. You know what we do. Better help. Donald and I have a secret project we're very excited about that we can't tell you about. Or we could do the thing where we beep it. Should we do that, Donald? Please. Beep that that, Donald? Please.

Beep that shit, Daniel. Let's go. Let's go. And Whoa! Beep that shit too, Daniel. That's amazing. Boom. So fans, you will know what was beeped very

soon. It's not a Scrubs reboot yet i don't want to get everyone geeked about that although donald you're on a hit show i don't think you can even do a scrubs reboot now dude you don't know what the fuck i can do you don't know what my contract says you don't know my life you don't know my life yo well you have a high class problem that uh you're on a hit show i just listen i'm gonna tell you something right now i'm happy that we're back right now doing this because we haven't done this in so long and we get to talk about such a great show i know you're gonna say it's weird because you weren't in it no i have more to say than it's weird the fact that i wasn't in it i

think that the good news for the audience is this is the last what the fuck is this episode? Because next we're going to go into Bahamas part one and two. And then we go into my finale parts one and two. So this is the last one. I imagine. You did not like this episode? Did you not like this episode? Not at all. And I'm not just saying that because I was.

You're a hater, dude. I love this episode. You did? Yeah. This episode is so weird. And I have a theoryater dude I love this episode you did yeah this episode is so weird and I have a theory why it's so weird I think they were saving money for the Bahamas episodes so they did a bottle episode which is when this all takes place in one set this all takes place in the ICU the only and I'm not dissing you you're obviously always funny but it's only donald uh sarah the interns right the rest of the cast is not and todd the rest of the cast is not in it so that's a

bottle episode and i think they were saving money to do the bahamas whatever i think this is what bill had in mind for what scrubs could be after we left, after everyone left. It could still be in the same area. It could still have familiar faces and just new interns with different problems. Like this story could have been told by any mixture of the cast is how I look at it. It could have been Elliot and JD. It could have been Carla and Elliot. It could have been, you know what I mean?

It's the mentors looking out for the new people. And all of the things that, you know, that was how I looked at it. I laughed really hard at the, he went to Disneyland without me. That's the only funny one. He laughed so hard. Yeah, they got roller coasters that roller coaster in the dark. I laughed real hard at that. I laughed at do the hippie.

No, you didn't laugh at do the hippie. I laughed real hard at do the hippie. They should have cut do the hippie. That was so cringe. I thought that was wild and cringe and should be cut for future generations. Do you know what was cringe? What? I don't do no jab, but the jab not.

Oh, my God. That was definitely cringe. That was so cringe. Oh, my God. That was uber cringe. I was like, ah. That should have been. You know how they took some shit out?

Like, you know, they should have taken that one out. That's one of them. Oh, my gosh. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words.

Hi, this is Shannon Doherty, host of the new podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty. You may know me from, let's see, 90210, Charmed, Mallrats, Heathers. Probably also know me from my stage four cancer diagnosis and sharing that journey with so many of you. There's something so authentic about a podcast. It's me connecting, me talking raw in the moment. That's what my goal is to give you, to talk about why I feel that cancer to a certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities are as a person with cancer, because I feel that cancer to a certain extent is a gift. What my responsibilities are as a person with cancer,

because I think that there's something so much bigger than me. And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is. And maybe together we'll find it. It's gonna be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in. Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you listen to podcasts. First of all, the show episode makes absolutely no sense. There's no voiceover. At least they should have had one of you do voiceover. There's no voiceover in the whole episode. Except the end. But that's not a voiceover. Sarah's no voiceover in the whole episode. Except the end. But that's not a voiceover. Sarah's telling you a story.

It's not like it takes place just in her head. But you have one fantasy. It's just sloppy to me. I mean, no offense to everyone. I think what it was, was A, saving money. I loved it. I can't believe you loved this episode. Joella, did you love this episode? I did not. Do you know why I loved it? I loved

it because Sarah's monologue at the end, I thought was phenomenal. What she says and why she would walk away from it all. I thought that was dope. I thought it was a really interesting thing to talk about. We don't talk about disease and viruses and stuff like that. We barely talk about viruses nowadays. You know what I mean? You talk about COVID and shit like that. Motherfuckers are like, yo, I don't really, you know. That shit's still prevalent. You know what I mean? That shit's still there.

All of these things are still there. HIV's still there. We talked about something that's taboo. It was something that they blamed homosexuals for first. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? And this is in the early 2000s also like i'm just saying man i just i'm not saying there's nothing to love about this episode

i i actually really did enjoy sarah's storyline overall like the her patient comes in and she's been anorexic but she's like i'm recovered and sarah's like the stuff on the chart is not matching what you're telling me and she's like i promise i on the chart is not matching what you're telling me. And she's like, I promise I'm telling you the truth. And it really causes her as a doctor to be like, let me take a step back and consider. I thought all of that worked really well and I did like her monologue at the end. To me, the problem comes that I don't care about any of the interns. I just

don't. And it's hard to connect or care about them. That's a tough, alright, but that's a tough show because that's, you know, how does the show evolve then? You know what I mean? If that's the what i mean if that's the case it obviously doesn't it obviously doesn't well if we do if there's a reboot how what is the reboot then us as old people people want to see us as old people yes oh yes first of all absolutely they want to see us as old people do they want to see you think we're gonna if and when we do a reboot, it's going to be about fucking interns?

For damn sure it's not going to be about no one. We have a fucking, you have evidence here. No one gave a fuck about the interns. No doubt. With all due respect to all of the talent. No doubt. No one gave a fuck. No doubt.

I totally agree. And I agree with you. Well, they're all wonderful actors, but you just didn't care. You were so invested. People, the audience, and I'm sure people listening, fell in love with these roughly eight people who are the leads of the show and wanted to watch them and keep watching them. And obviously you can see what this episode is trying to do is tiptoe out and tiptoe the interns forward because that's what, by now they obviously know that's what season nine is going to be. And if this was like a little like dip your toe in the water test, I agree with Joelle.

It's like, I don't care. I wish there was a way to monetize that back then, you know what I mean, to figure that out back then. Because this airs during our final season, and I'm happy for the experience and being able to work for. Of course. I'm happy for the experience and being able to work for. Of course. I'm just talking about, I'm talking about the experiment, which was, you know, they honored Grey's Anatomy last night at the Emmys being 20 years or something like that. I would like to run like that.

That's what I'm trying to say. And I, you know, they, in a different way, figured out how to keep replacing cast and keep, and obviously an ER, obviously. figured out how to keep replacing cast and keep, and obviously an ER, obviously. And I think in the spirit of that, it was, it was a total, it makes total sense that Bill and the network would be like,

let's try and do that. Why would we not try? It works on other shows. I just think in this unique case, the audience has spoken. They spent so much time with y'all. Whereas like a Grey's Anatomy starts introducing new interns at like season two or three right and like eating with er2 like the new doctors are constantly coming in and so it feels much less jarring i think on your dramatic medical show to see new faces come in as opposed to this is a comedy family that's so well oiled where y'all's jokes were and timing were so on

point i think to try to bring in four or five new people who could bring that same level of energy it's a huge ask of any group of yes i agree so you're saying with the right with the right group of people it would it could work then no i'm saying it would take a miracle of writer actor combination on high that then also all your fans would connect with. It would be such a high bar. Right. I think it would be really challenging. And as proof, I think it was challenging to do.

But listen, think of like Friends, right? Okay, let's just think of like one of the most watched shows of all time. If little by little, they start introducing new young friends. They do, yeah. And little by little, the hero six of them or seven of them start tiptoeing out. Well, they didn't do that,

but they did introduce new friends, just like we introduced new friends on our show. They introduced partners. They introduced, like, here's a cute girlfriend and stuff. I don't know, man. I don't know, man.

I just think, I think there's always a way to, maybe it's a break that's needed. Frasier's having had a great cup, you know, the Connors is doing well. Of course. But also you're talking about if we have,

if, and when we do a reboot of any kind, it's, we're going to bring the seven core people back and it's going to be about the seven core people. Absolutely. And of course there'll be guest stars and supporting stars and all that stuff.

But, but the people listening to this podcast right now, they would tune in because they loved that group. They loved hanging out with that group. And if they're going to tune in for anything new, they want to see, oh, how are they now? What are they like? What's their lives like now? How long is that interesting for? You know what I mean?

If it's well-written, it could be, you know, I don't know, a handful of seasons. Who knows? Five seasons and a movie. Eight seasons and a movie. Right. No doubt. It's also interesting if you introduce new aspects to it,

like J.D. and Turk and Carla and Elliot all have kids. Yeah. How many kids do they have? We don't know. Right. You know what I mean? And these kids are now grown. This was a long time ago.

You know what I'm saying yeah and uh and are jd and elliot still together i hope so i would hope so has turk's diabetes got the best of him and killed him oh my god oh i think turk will be alive unless he's on a hit unless he's on a hit comedy uh on a hit comedy on another network. Sorry. Turks on a hit comedy on another network, guys. He's dead. It was the diabetes. It was the diabetes. No, what other questions?

I mean, you know, like, they'd have to find some reason why we all still work at the same hospital. But I think we'll just have to let the audience go. Like, don't worry about it. You guys want this, right? All right. So there's some bullshit reason why we all still work at the same hospital.

You know, I'm one that believes that this would have been a great adult cartoon. You know what I mean? Like The Simpsons or like family guy i mean you could still still do all of the fantasies well i think the comp the comp for what you're talking about is scott pilgrim which i think is doing quite well right there's a scott oh god really loved it they did a scott pilgrim saves the world animated series yes yeah so it's like an anime on netflix and it's like an alt u so the very first episode is like the first like the first act of the movie where you're like oh are

they just making the movie animated that's kind of strange and then in the last minute plot twist what if scott pilgrim didn't win the first battle but he died what's ramona flower's journey then so he's not in the movie at all he's not in the show at all he comes back later but i want to spoil it he is in the series and it's all the entire original cast of scott pilgrim all of the actors came back and everybody came to voice chris's bat like literally every single person came back to voice themselves and it's so funny they correct some of their um you know the movie is not necessarily 100 pc it's so funny they correct some of their you know the movie is not necessarily 100% PC it's very

of it's time so they make some of the corrections their knives gets a much bigger like arc as a character which is really satisfying it was delightful I love the anime I love every iteration of Scott Pilgrim I really did like the movie I thought that was

a lot of fun to watch. Totally. So I'm excited to watch this cartoon. Yeah, well, we'll have to see. I think that if and when there's a Scrubs reboot, it would be fun to daydream about. First of all, it would be fucking hilarious just to get the gang back together and laugh. And, I mean, laughing with your... After all these years, getting back together and laughing and being our silly mean laughing with you after all these years getting back together and

laughing and being our silly selves would be so much fun they would have to crack the reason you know why why why are we all back together or or you just say fuck it like in this world no one leaves hospitals and moves away everybody's still there neil's still the janitor yeah season nine was a freaking alternate universe this is yeah it's just continuously like this i was thinking in during one of my tub uh experiences that uh that uh it's a fantasy right and jd so the the the, how do I describe this? You, you realize that JD is imagined. Nothing has changed. Everything's back to normal. We're all older, obviously, and have kids and the whole thing.

But you realize that JD, this is all in JD's imagination and his real life. He's like unhappy. Maybe he's gotten divorced. He has a, he has some medical practice that's unfulfilling. And you realize that the new season is all JD remembering how happy he was. And it's all in his mind of living his dream with his friends. Oh, that's cute. But also sad. I don't want JD to have a bad life. No, I mean, then it would break out of that. And he would realize that he needed to take action and stand up and manifest having the life he wants.

This isn't going to be it, guys. Don't worry. It's too active. I was going to say, it's very much like the Who Shot J.R. situation or like just when a dude died and then out of nowhere it was a dream type shit. type shit or if you read if you're a kick ass comic book reader the whole shit is because this dude that one time he gets beat up in the beginning

of the movie he's been in a coma the whole the whole series and he's imagined the whole thing alright we should talk a little about this episode let's take an ad break first thank you Daniel how about the farts that's so stupid let's take a break break first. Thank you, Daniel. How about the farts? It's so stupid.

Let's take a break. Let me tell you something. Let's take a break. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk about how if you're a writer,

don't write about farts. We'll be right back. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful. That's where The Bright Side comes in. A new daily podcast from Hello Sunshine

Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back! Listen, if you're sitting there writing and you're staring at-

I make fart jokes all the time. That's so easy. In your private life, with your friends, nothing like a good fart joke. I told a fart joke on television just recently. Oh, I'm sorry to diss you and your writers, but listen, if you're a writer- I made it up on this. No, I didn't make it up. Jerry O'Connell made it up.

If you're a writer and you're sitting there and you're staring at the blinking cursor and something in your mind says, what if it's a fart joke? Stop. Why? Put the computer to sleep. Why? Go for a walk. Must explain.

Must explain. It's just such a low bar. We all laugh at farts. Farts are silly. A fart noise is funny. We make dick jokes. I just think, I just think, I always find, don't get me wrong, there's an occasional one that'll make me giggle. Obviously, in life, when someone farts it's funny but like this episode has like six references to a fart

it's embarrassing joelle your thoughts it's an entire c plot and it's much too much it's like one point they just pan back to the girl they're like she fart yet nope okay next scene i was like what are we doing yeah the only time it got really in bed the only time where i was like this is too much is when she was like it stunk really bad and then smelled like hot dogs you mean the punchline of the entire joke that that was when i was like by the way by the way let me just give the audience what happens okay so the woman the woman farts in an ICU isolated room. Then the young Dr. Sunny comes out, and all of the doctors are commenting that she smells personally like the woman's fart. And then she says, I've taken several showers already since this occurred, and I still smell like it.

And then they say, yeah, you still smell like her fart that happened clearly over an hour ago. And she says, now I'm going to take a bath in tomato juice. I mean, it's just really bad. I'm sorry, Donald. It didn't hit.

It did not hit for me. That is hilarious to me. I'm sorry. But do do. All right. Well, there you go. To eat. Sometimes I sometimes been sitting on the

toilet and the shit come halfway out your ass all right then crawl back up in that motherfucker oh is this is this your bit or a comedian's bit this is freaking eddie murphy doing richard prior when he was a kid oh okay i'm sorry i guess i'm not into, I'm not into scatological humor. I'm just not for me. Okay, well, look, I thought it was hilarious. I would like to give all of the interns their props for putting on such an entertaining show. I want to repeat over and over again,

in case any of those wonderful actors listen to this, they're all wonderfully talented. I'm not dissing them. I'm just saying the writing, I think, was on its last legs. Clearly, it's season eight. But don't worry, this is the end. It's towards the end, and everybody's trying to get the fuck out. You know what it's like at the end.

Yeah, it's like someone who's running a marathon, and they're at mile 25.9. All of a sudden, it gets way harder to break story. Yeah. What if it's a fart joke for fucking a third of the episode? Come on now. Come on. You know what I mean?

Are you sure we should make eight fart jokes? I'm sure. We're going for it. Fuck it. I think we could get away with it so you're saying after she showers three times that means she showered once came out still smelled like that woman's fart showered again came out still smelled like the woman's fart showered a third time scrubbing probably this time with great rigor because of the other times

um and blue dryer hair the whole thing probably put perfume on because of the other times. And blue dryer hair, the whole thing. Probably put perfume on because of the problem. Put makeup back on. We did her makeup, everything. Changed her scrubs clearly. That she still smells

like a little, quick little fart that this old woman had. And now she's going to go get tomato juice. Okay, but let me explain. Go ahead. It's because

she had been holding it for decades. Decades. It's because she had been holding it for decades. Decades. It's impossible. Everyone farts all day long. This whole show shows the joke. The joke's impossible, dude. The joke's impossible.

You're going to try and hit me with logic? How many times the average human farts a day? You can't control it. You fart all day long. No, there's a certain amount that's excessive. I've seen this, of course, if your stomach's fucked up and you eat bad food,

but I'm saying like the average person farts X amount of times a day. I've seen it. What's that number? What do you think it is? What do you think it is before she pulls it out? I would say it's probably 40.

40. 12. 12. Yeah, not like you notice. By the way, a lot of times you don't notice it. You're just releasing air from your anus. It yeah not like you noticed by the way a lot of times you don't notice it you're just releasing air from your anus it's not like it's like you made a noise or you smelled something i said 12 i said 12 is excessive i would say the humans pass gas between 13 to 21 times oh i was off i was close i was was closer. 13 to 21. So whenever you think

people don't fart, when you're looking at that really hot guy or that really hot girl and you're like, oh my god, know that that person is farting 20 times a day. They can travel 6.8 miles per hour or 10 feet per second. Random fart facts

for you. They don't all smell. Your anus is releasing like a valve. It's going... Here's the question. Go ahead. Could you make a whole episode about it? And this is going to get a little weird.

Oh, boy. Here we go. Weirder? Are you on ganja now or not? I'm still smoking ganja. Okay. I just need to know. Go ahead. There's certain things that you have to do to leave a hospital.

Sometimes it's go to the bathroom. Sometimes it's pass gas. Right. And this is what the whole story is based on. It's not necessarily based on the fact that her fart stinks. It the fact that to leave a hospital you have to fart they wanted they wanted her to make a bowel movement but but she said she was a nervous pooer like elliot so elliot said i'll i'll i'll wait until you pass gas why couldn't this woman just be like hey you guys were out of the room i just ripped a giant fart can i go home she could have just lied to her doctors

that would have been so much easier right yeah no but my no my but my question is, aren't there certain things that just have to be let go of? You know what I mean? It was clear that she does fart. You know what I mean? There's no way she holds it for decades and everything like that. She's doing it because she's trying to be looked at as a- Yeah, she's trying to be looked at as proper. They were trying to make sure she wasn't impacted, though, is what Tarek said at the top.

Yeah, so why would it stink for so long, then, if that's the case? It would. I mean, again, the joke has, there's zero logic within the joke. But the reasoning behind wanting to keep her around. All right, let's just go through and see if there's anything else to talk about. The doctor who thought people had cat grass syndrome. Yeah, that's a real thing. Yeah, that shit had me rolling.

I thought that was funny. You think people that you know in your life are imposters. That's a real thing. Invasion of the body snatchers? No, it's a mental disorder where you, even though you know the person well, it could be your wife, it could be, you're convinced that they're imposters.

And oftentimes they have to do something well it could be your wife it could be you you're convinced that they're imposters and often times they have to do something like like this young intern tried to do where they'll come they'll literally just be outside the door and and uh and say like oh oh oh hey um some somebody who looks like me just left like people around them have to do these elaborate things to try and get past this problem that they have. I know someone whose parents have dealt with it. Really? Yeah. That's crazy.

That's really crazy. I don't mean to say that to be dismissive about it, but that's fucking, that's, wow. It's horrible. It's horrible. Yeah, it sounds horrible. I want to say that the young woman, I want to pull up her name because she was talented, who played Robin. Very good final scene. Oh, my gosh.

Very good actress. I'm going to say her name, everybody. Her name is, drumroll, Daniel. Karina Chase did a fantastic job as the patient Robin. Wonderful. I thought her acting was very good. And then Elliot, you know, I read on Scrubs Wiki. I just want to say, you want to hear what Scrubs Wiki has to say?

Zach Braff, Judy Reyes, John C. McGinley, Neal Flynn, Ken Jenkins do not appear in this episode, making it the episode with the lowest number of series regulars to ever appear. The episode is also the first to not have a narrator. The title, My, suggests J.D. would narrate, but Zach Braff did not appear. There was some, this is interesting, there was some controversy over Elliot's statement that she might leave medicine if she ever got married and had kids, which was perceived by some fans as anti-feminist,

although it was based on the actual life of the show's medical consultant, Dolly Clock. Also, I think it's unfair. I feel like a man or woman could have given that statement because it's not so much that she wants to leave because she has kids, but because she thinks her children might bring her joy, whereas doing this work is no longer bringing Elliot any kind of happiness. She's like, it's so fleeting. And I feel sad that I wasn't able to help fix their problem.

All I could do was diagnose it. It's going back to the exact same thing that I said in the beginning of this whole thing. I want it to be in my kid's basketball game. It's not that I don't enjoy my job and want to enjoy the things that I do and stuff like that. But that brings me way more happiness than sitting in an award show audience, watching people receive fucking trophies. Cause you know, somebody said they liked their show. You know what I mean?

Like at the end of the day, what are we really doing? What makes you happy is what makes you happy. Right. And I think Dolly Clock, who was married to the real JD, and they were both our medical consultants, I think this was her honest story and her honest thinking about it. And in actuality, I don't think she practices medicine anymore. I think she moved on to working with adolescents and being an advocate for kids and

adolescence and uh and and um being an advocate for kids and and and helping parents to understand yeah uh their children and you know so so she she really moved on to something that wasn't having to tell people they have hiv because i think for her personally it was it was too too soul-crushing um and she wanted to find a way to be. So it was somebody's real story. We should have her back on the show, bro. For real. Okay. Joelle? Let's make it happen.

I mean, we're talking to so many interesting people. This is definitely right up our. Yeah. Right up our. Yeah, especially because I think what she's dealing with, too, is children and drugs and helping parents to make sure their children don't go down the rabbit hole of drugs. She could be a great guest. It's a good conversation.

J.D. is mentioned in the episode twice when Elliot tells Turk he and Sam went to Disneyland and when Elliot and Turk mock J.D.'s post-fantasy voice. With J.D.'s absence, no character has appeared in every episode of the show. J.D.'s absence, no character has appeared in every episode of the show. J.D. previously did not appear in quote, my absence, but is still heard and involved in the plot via cell phone,

making this episode his first true absence. Do you know how pissed off I would get when you would go to Disneyland without me? I feel like you'd still get mad at me if I did it today. If you went to Disneyland without me, yeah, I probably would get mad. Listen, to this day, it is still one of my favorite places to go. Yeah, you love it.

By the way, aren't we outing? We've always joked about where does Sacred Heart take place? Aren't we really saying it's fully Southern California now? Because these people... Well, it could be Florida. Or Disneyland. Yeah. I think the cat's out of the bag that it takes place in Southern California.

I want to go to Disneyland Japan. You see that shit? That shit look fire. They do. I don't know if they still got it in China. Are we allowed to go to China still? Yeah, they have the seven seas. I just want in China are we allowed to go to China still? yeah they have the 7 C's I just want to know where are we allowed to go to Disneyland where they still got it you can go to all the Disneyland's

you can go to Paris there's one in Tokyo Tokyo looks dope it looks fire Disneyland SEA let's take a break we'll be right back after these fine words.

It's me connecting, me talking raw in the moment. That's what my goal is to give you, to talk about why I feel that cancer to a certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities are as a person with cancer, because I think that there's something so much bigger than me.

And maybe together, we'll find it. It's going to be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in. Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Turk says Elliot's booty is too tiny. He was a bullshit. That's a lie.

Listen, come on now. You do like a large bottom. He's going to eat that shit. Listen, come on now. You do like a large bottom. My wife told me straight up in the beginning of our date, you put meat in front of a dog, he's going to eat it. That's just that simple.

Can I ask you a question? That booty could be non-existent. That's not true. I don't think you're attracted to a non-existent flat butt. You like some sort of bubble. I think we all like that pressure. By the way, Sarah has, Sarah Elliott has a small butt,

I go, why'd you miss your flight? And she was like, well, you're not going to believe this. There was a cart. It got caught on it. I think it was something like my kid. I got all the way to the airport, and my kid's hockey gear was in the car. And, of course, she has a major tournament. So what am I going to do?

I have to figure out, am I going to make the flight? Am I going to get her a hockey gear? Ha, ha, ha of course, she has a major tournament. So what am I going to do? I have to figure out, am I going to make the flight? Am I going to get her a hockey gear? That's a pretty good Sarah. That's a pretty good Sarah. My wife was bummed, though, because, you know, my wife loves hanging out with Sarah. What do you mean?

You guys don't ever leave the house. You guys don't ever leave the house you guys don't leave the house getting you guys leave the house is impossible you go to your son's sports matches you go to work to the rap party for my show okay that's related to your family you go outside of your son's your kids activities and your job? Listen, I want to get out more. I'm not going to lie. I truly do. I really, really do. But by 7.30, 8 o'clock, I don't anymore. You know what I mean? Like, that's just how it is.

Like, that's 100. What about a day hangout? Can you hang out in the day? No, because your kids have some tournament. I could totally hang out during the day. I could totally hang out during the day. But, okay, look, here's the honest to goodness truth. I truly love hanging out with my family.

You know what I mean? I don't know how much longer any of us are going to be on this planet together for. I want to build memories with them. I spend a lot of time focusing on myself. I still do. But in this way, it's me focusing on myself because i want to spend time with my family uh that's just honestly what it is um i hear you well i miss you i miss you i miss you i want to hang out i want to go to so much it hurts i miss i don't want to go to the club i just miss you so much it hurts sometimes dude you don't want to go to the club no it's just i'd be wanting

to go to the club sometimes although my running joke didn't want to go to the club. I've been wanting to go to the club sometimes. Although my running joke with Donald is like, and I stopped texting it to you because sometimes he doesn't even reply. But back in the day when we were going out and being crazy, there was a club called Joseph's. Yes. And I'm like, just randomly,

like a time, first of all, we don't go to clubs anymore, period. But just randomly, I'm like, you ain't trying to go to Joseph's tonight? And it always just makes me laugh, like the idea that we're going to go to like a Hollywood nightclub. But he doesn't reply.

So I stopped making the joke. Do you remember those? There was Joseph's, Punani. Punani was the one. But Joseph's was the one. What was the other one though? Hyde. Hyde. Hyde.

That's right. Yeah. Hyde. There was Dublin's. There was, what's the one where you met Casey? Well, not where you met her, but the one where- Teddy's. Teddy's.

Teddy's. If those walls could talk. Teddy's is the one where she said when I tried to be a wingman. And she goes, doesn't he have like nine keys? Teddy's where we hung our prints. And Casey. That's dope. Anyway, we ain't trying to go to Joseph's. But you ain't trying to go to Joseph's tonight?

That's what I texted him. I'm like, what you trying to get into? Hold on, here it is. Hold on, let me hit my button. Where is it? I'm rusty, you guys. I'm rusty. What you trying to get into a day or soon?

What you trying to do? So I'll text him and be like, yo, what you trying to get into? And then one time I wrote him, it just feels like you're not trying to get into nothing. Meanwhile, I know this dude's in his PJs fucking animating. Yeah, baby. He's not going to Joseph's. The Todd has a very good running. Before we get out of here, the Todd has a very good running joke about people high-fiving when he's not around.

And he's serious about it. it that he doesn't take the opportunity to, he reneges on an opportunity to make a sexual joke because he's too serious about high fives. Yeah. First, he says that, what's his name, can high five when he's not around. But then he, yeah, he says he's not comfortable with it. No, I renege on it. I renege on that. There's no way you're going to be allowed to do this. Well, that's the comfortable with it. No. I would nigg on it. I would nigg on that. There's no way

you're going to be allowed to do this. Well, that's the show, guys. The good news is we have four really good episodes coming up. We have two episodes of The Bahamas.

And then we have two episodes of the finale, what everyone truly believes is the real finale of the television show Scrubs. And then we're going to launch into season nine, which I've never seen. I've never

watched a single episode of season nine. By the way, I honestly don't think I've ever seen this episode before. So there you go. You know me. We've talked about this before. I've watched very little Scrubs yeah we know

the audience knows yes Joelle well Zach and I were talking about season 9 and since it's the last recap season you know what could we do to make it special and one of the things Zach came up with was what if season 9 fanatics people who are like no this episode of season 9

is really bomb if there's an episode of Season 9 is really bomb. If there's an episode of Season 9 you love, write us at scrubsiheart at gmail.com and tell us why you love the episode. If you really hate the episode, you can also call in. I really like the voicemails.

I think those are cute, but I'll also read your letters and just tell us either why this is a great episode or why you didn't. And we'll read your guys' letters when we get to the episode. What I'd like to do is, Joelle, I think those are cute, but I'll also read your letters and just tell us either why this is a great episode or why. And we'll read your guys's letters when we get to the episode. What I'd like to do is, Joelle, I think I gave you that idea and then you ran with it. But anyway, and then what I want to say is I liked where I thought you were going, which was if you really, really love an episode of season nine and you're listening leave joelle um you know a two minute max voice note or email her and explain why and if you really fucking hate it same thing and then we'll have you both on and we'll do like a 10 minute segment where you debate the the pros and the cons of the episode yeah yeah but you can't be hitting below the belt this shit can't be like

no no you can't be presidential debate where all of a sudden you just start no they're not going to interrupt each other one's going to present their side and the other is going to present the other side and obviously don't be mean to anyone it's just about the merits of of the episode right this ain't about don't you think that's a good idea joelle i love it and if we don't get enough people doing it then we'll doing it, then we'll just do one or the other and talk about it. But so you're going to send that to. I like this idea. You're going to send that to.

Are we mediators? What are we in this whole thing? We're like the commentators on the news who listen to their points and then talk about them. Do we come up with a conclusion at the end? No, because we know it's not a good show. That's so fucked up! That's so fucked up. What a way to advertise a podcast.

You're going to listen to it because we know it's not a good show. Well, I have a feeling that people who are listening to this podcast like the four of us sitting around shooting the shit. That's what we're going to continue to do for y'all. Right? Hell yeah. We're going to talk about Scrubs still.

Of course we are. Just season nine. Yeah. If you want to do that, email it to scrubsiheart all one word at gmail.com. And we should have Shay Serrano back to come on season nine. Yeah. I got nothing. Well, I think we should ask Shay, Joel, ask Shay to be like, Hey, you know, we've always dissed this season.

A large percentage of the fans have dissed this season. What are your scrubs expert mind thoughts on it? And I think he'll have smart things to say. Heck yeah. And we should book Bill, obviously, for season nine. No, he had nothing to do with it. I know, but he could. He had zero.

And he was on Google. Oh, so you don't want to have Bill on to talk about season nine? I want to have Bill on just to talk about all of the other wonderful things that's going on in his life. I don't want to have him on and sit here and be like, you fucking abandoned us, and this is what we got, season nine. No, that wasn't going to be the tenor of my discourse. All right. What else can we tell you? Watch Donald's new show, everybody.

Please do. It's great to watch with your kids. There's no one having sex against a door. There's no... Listen, these are things that you will not find on my show. There's no nudity. It's very, very G. Yes. Well, no, no it's not g it's pg but it's not really what's the dirtiest joke that's been on the show so far oh we oh i saw something there

was something about footprints on the wall because y'all were banging it's pg but it's it's television that you can watch with your family i I saw a scene where you saw that there were footprints on the wall from when your fiance and husband were banging, and so there were footprints on the wall. From many years ago after a wine festival. Right, and you didn't like that. And so I painted the room. It reminded me of, I once um subletted my my room in manhattan um so i

could come be in la for a while and um i sublet it to a to a young woman and um and and when i came back after uh however long i gone, my bed was backed into a corner. It was a queen-size bed, and it was in a corner. And there were handprints, small handprints, her handprints, all over the back wall. She must have been getting pounded. It was clear that my bed had been used for copulation many, many, many times. That sounds like a pounding. She needed the wall for reinforcements.

She was holding on to the wall. Yeah. They weren't just making slow love. No. She was gripping the wall. Yes. They could have started off slow. Which is fine.

Which is great. Sublet. They could have started off slow. Which is great. I didn't say in the Goose Trippers song. Which is great. I didn't say in the sublet agreement, please don't get taken from behind in the bed my mom gave me. I wasn't ready. Wow. Oh, shit.

Get a magic eraser when you sublet. Oh, my God. But it's a good question. It's a good question to ask. Like, what do you do when you said but it's a good question it's a good question to ask like what do you do when that happens what do you do when you find out that your ex actually did have sex with their partners before you you know what i mean like how do you respond to that i don't respond well i'm sorry like i don't think casey had sex before you i'm sure she did but i don't want to meet the guy it's not like i want to shake hands with the motherfucker and be like yeah man we've got something in common you know what i mean like that's not my goal in life right my golden life is

to enjoy it and that just makes but also you know listen you have to be grateful to all the partners she had because uh she's uh we know from the show that she's a wonderful lover. It's not because of them. Fuck you, man. It's not because of them. Fuck that. I'm just saying, I don't mean to trigger you. I'm just saying that.

I'm not triggered. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, motherfucker. I'm just saying, motherfucker. I'm just saying. We know from the program that she's a gifted lover. We know she's a... Maybe it's time to move on, bro. All right. We should probably wrap up on this note.

Dude, guys, I fucking miss this, man. I love you guys. I love you guys. I love you guys. Audience, thank you so much for always tuning in and for listening to us just ramble.

I'm excited to talk about future episodes coming up. It's going to be so much fun. We're getting into the nitty gritty. Yeah. The good stuff. On that note, five, six, seven, eight.
