Before we stop recording, before we start recording. Someday. Is everybody's, Zach, do you have on air turned off? But channel six turned off. together someday.

Is everybody's, Zach, do you have on air turned off? But channel six turned off. I do, Daniel, thank you for my weekly reminder. It is off. No problem. And does everybody have their windows closed? My windows are closed, although I thought the bird chirping was a nice touch, but my doors are closed.

It's birds in my backyard. I can't help it. Daniel, as the executive producer of the show, I don't mind a little bird chirping. It's the- Danil as the executive producer of the show, I don't mind a little bird chirping. It's my backyard. So I have a, we built a waterfall. Right. And an ecosystem has started to blossom

and said waterfall. Gorgeous. Even with the windows closed. It's got bird chirping. All right, let's roll, Danil. Even with the windows closed. So, right. All right, let's roll down. I'm rolling as Donald. Are you rolling? I am. It's 55 seconds into the podcast. I already I've already got 10.9 megabytes of content for you, Donald.

I'm that's a lot of megabytes. I'm stoked. Wow. Hey, Daniel. Wow, that's a lot of megabytes, I'm stoked. Wow, I'm the fact that you were able to put it into a megabyte. Hello, listeners. Welcome to the program. This is a Scrubs Rewatch podcast. We are quickly- With Zach and Donald. We are quickly running out of episodes.

Quickly running out of episodes, but don't you worry. We have a whole new plan for you. We had a big meeting about it. We had a very big meeting. Daniel, you weren't there. I was not there, you were right about that. I guess you. We had a big meeting about it. We had a very big meeting. Daniel, you weren't there. I was not there. You were right about that. I guess you don't come to big meetings

about the future of the show. I trust Joelle as the, as the I Heart representing executive producer of the show. I know that she's going to represent Baltimore feelings. Joelle was so glorious in this meeting. It went really well. Joelle, how did you feel about the Star Wars corner? I'm with Zach, but that sounds like a different show.

And I can't help but say into that. No, Joelle, no! I wanna love you and talk to you about Star Wars. That's a dream of mine. Five minutes, that's all I need every week. You need 15 minutes to make a show that can do ad sales. Yeah, you can't sell a five minute show, Donald. You can sell a 15.

So 15 minutes, that's all we need. Why don't we have this out, because I think we should just clear the air here, Donald, if you don't mind, in the spirit of just honesty. You feel like doing a separate Star Wars show, you don't have the bandwidth or space and time to do it. Not even a little bit. Okay.

That's totally fair, you're a busy man, you got young kids. Yeah, you got a busy life. Not only young kids, I've got other jobs that, you know. He has a TV show on NBC. Well, it's not on NBC right now, it's on Peacock. That's where you can find it. So what you need to do is-

Isn't it sometimes on NBC? It is on NBC when the season hopefully is renewed. But as of right now- When do you find out if the show is renewed, Donald? It's Donald, right? It is, Zach? When do you find out if the- Zach?

Yeah, with a Q. I'm correct, okay. When do you find out if the show is renewed, Donald? How will that go down? Oh, I'll tell you, Zach. I don't know, to be honest with you. No one's told you a ballpark. I believe around upfront, which is around Mother's Day. So within the next month.

May 10th is Mother's Day, I believe. Something like that. So you're gonna find out mid-May if you have a very lucrative job, and then you might not. And then I might be unemployed, like so many actors are right now. It's a lot of pressures. This is right now. It's a lot of pressure. This is the free that's happening.

It's a lot of pressure on my fam, on me and my status as the, you know, breadwinner of the family. That's the first pressure. It's also a lot of pressure on NBC. NBC, I know. I know. You've got a lot of shows. You've got decisions to make.

Right. But we know what the right decision is, don't we? I thought the ratings were good with this show, right? shows, you've got decisions to make. Right. But we know what the right decision is, don't we? I thought the ratings were good with this show, right? The ratings are great with the show, but television ratings don't matter anymore. It's all about streaming ratings now. And so what we do, however many people that watch television

now, the traditional way, that number has diminished so much that they look for, you know, what did the show do in 30 days instead of what did the show do that night? Got it. So what you're, it isn't like you can say, hey, holy cow, look at the numbers we did because the powers that be are looking at what the streaming numbers are.

And so you could have a show that- Right, in 30 days. Per show though, also, per show. 30 days per show. You could have a show that's doing very well in today's numbers in its live slot, but still not get picked up, because it isn't performing well on the streaming platform.

In the streaming side of things, because that's where everything has to live now. So that's tough. You're living in a bit of a limbo state until you find out. Until you find out, yes. But the great thing about network television is they still do long seasons, you know what I mean? So there's still like 22 episode seasons on network television. Streaming, it's 10, eight, six, sometimes three.

Oh, I love listening to you count. You know what I mean? I'm going backwards, I don't know if you notice. No, I see I'm following in the downwards. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. One. You know what I mean, I'm going backwards. I don't know if you noticed. No, I see I'm following in the downwards. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. One. You know what I mean? Like, one, one show's picked up.

One account. Well, I hope for your sake, you seem to, money aside, you seem to really enjoy the show. So for your sake, I hope it gets picked up. I really do enjoy working with Michael Malley and John Cryer and Abigail Spencer. I like going to work and I like being myself in front of the crew, you know what I mean?

I like. Yeah. Well, you're also such a performer and the ad benefit for you of doing a multicam in front of an audience is that you get the feedback and the laughter and the joy from the audience, which I think is probably very good for your mental health. Absolutely. So NBC, do it for me and my mental health.

Thank you. Yes. Make your decisions. Isn't it crazy that somewhere one person is just going to look at a spreadsheet and be like, no, and then all those people. All those people. Out of a job. Out of a job.

Or in the case of this coyote, what's the Wile E. Coyote movie that got canceled? It's like all of those people put so much work into that movie, so many years, so many, so much blood, sweat, and tears. And someone looked at a spreadsheet and said, you know, if we just never released it and took a tax write-off, we could recoup a lot of money. And just I imagine one or two people were like, all right, do that.

It's just so amazing in, I know in all business, I'm sure, but in Hollywood, how many huge decisions that affect so many people are made in that way. What's crazy is that it's still art, you know what I mean? And people are betting on art before it's even put out. You know what I mean? Before the art is even viewed by the public, it's already being sold and,

and or deemed unworthy of being art. You know what I mean? This isn't real art. You know what I mean? Like, but this shit is all art, regardless of what you make, regardless of what, if you got a story to tell,

everyone has a story to tell. And if you're brave enough to put it on some type of recording and release it to the masses, dude, that's art, you know what I mean? And who is anyone to stifle it? That's how I feel. Yeah, well, there's so much money involved. So you do have to understand the capitalism of it all.

It's just, in some of these cases, it's so sad when you think of, basically artists in Hollywood are stocks. And it's just how it's so fascinating when you zoom out and think of us all being traded up and down like stocks. Your show is a stock. It is. The Wile E. Coyote movie is a stock

and they buy and trade and sell it. That's how the town works. Yeah. Well, I hope you get what you want, Donald Faison. You know, I hope so too. Life is life and it is what it is. You'll always find another job. You're very funny.

And listen, one thing I can say for sure is that talented people work. Sometimes they have more work, sometimes they have less work. But if you're talented and you're kind, you will find work. I agree with that. And I think you're talented and kind. Oh, you know, some people might disagree, I'm sure, but hey, I- I don't think there's anyone that wouldn't say-

I accept and receive it from you. Yo, can I just say one thing? Yes, it's your show. You can say whatever you want. I wanna switch subjects real quick. Okay, is it about Star Wars? Remember how last week, no, it's not show. You can say whatever you want. I want to switch subjects real quick. Okay. Is it about Star Wars? Remember how last week? No, it's not about Star Wars either.

Oh, my God. We were on a call audience, a big call with like 10 people from my heart. And I wanted Dave Filoni. Donald brought up Star Wars no less than five times in a half-hour Zoom call. Yeah. And I wanted Dave Filoni. Yeah. And we were talking about future guests, and Donald's main request was Dave Filoni. That's all I want.

If anyone listening knows Dave Filoni, He's gonna say no now. He's gonna be like, get the fuck out of here. No, he likes you. Listen, of all our listeners, many of whom are in Hollywood, if you have any connection to Dave Filoni, Joelle, what's the email address?

Or you can slide into Joelle Monique's DMs on Instagram. I will not see your DMs on Instagram. Okay, you don't read the DMs. Okay, good. Very private, please don't send me things. But you can email us at scrubsihart.gmail.com. Scrubsihart.gmail.com. We're gonna, wait, wait, wait, Donald, calm down.

We do have professional means of reaching out to Dave Filoni to make Donald's dreams come true For those of you don't know Dave Filoni is the head of Lucas Films who decides all this Star Wars stuff That is so important to Donald Creative over there. I'm just I don't mean to minimize his Contributions to the Star Wars universe Donald. You don't have to roll your eyes either when you say it I'm just saying that we are gonna try the professional means of reaching Dave Filoni, but in case anyone listening

is like Dave Filoni's best friend, please help us out for Donald. Anyway. What were you gonna say before I took a song? I have discussed, so last week I was talking about how there's nothing to watch. Yes. So I revisited.

What? Dune, part one. Oh. Yes. So I revisited. What? Dune. Part one. Oh. Dune part one, okay. And? Well, I always loved it. Yes.

Great. And now the sequel has just dropped. And did you watch it? Just-ish, but yes. Did you watch it? I've watched it twice already. You watched the sequel twice already. Okay, good.

We finally found some content that you like. That Charlemagne is one fucking charming young man. Charlemagne? Charlemagne? Charlemagne the guy. However you say his name. Charlemagne. I honestly thought that might be a character in the movie.

And I was like, oh no, Timothy Charlemagne. That Timothy Charlemagne. You like you some Char, it's Timothée Chalamet. Yeah. That Timothée Chalamet. You like you some Chalamet? He's one charming young man. He's Sanagaib. He's Sanagaib. How many times have you watched it, Danel? Just the one time, but it was incredible.

Okay, I've seen, you guys know how I've refused to go to the movies now, sorry. We know all the reasons, yes. I wish I would have saw this one in theaters. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. That Wyrm Wright alone, my God. Holy shit.

You said Wyrm Wright. This was a movie for the theaters. Take it down. Well, I'm glad, most importantly, I'm glad you found some content that you like, Donald. That's what I like to see. I like to see you, you love art, you love sci-fi. This is really good sci-fi too.

This ain't no bullshit sci-fi. This is like the mother of all sci-fis. This is, I mean, other than 2001, a space Odyssey, this is the mother, this is the one that Lucas, this is the one that everybody has bitten off of. This is the one that everybody is biting off of. Holy cow, dude, holy cow, wow. I want you to just, if I could back up for a second,

I want you to think that there is a lot of other content out there that you might consume that would make you as excited as this. I want you to be open to the possibility of watching more good things. But I can watch this and see where everybody, you know what I mean? Even in the old one as well,

I can watch this and see where everybody's getting their ideas from, you know what I mean? And why certain things are so important. And you know what I mean? Like this is, it's the story, every hero's journey, it seems like this is it. You can see all the tropes, all the tropes are there, but this is done very well.

So shout out to Charlemagne for, is that how you say it? Shout out, shout out, shout out Charlemagne for carrying this movie and doing a very good job. Same thing with Zendaya. And our beloved Florence Pugh, Donald. Yeah, man, she's not really in this one that much. Don't yell at me. She opens the movie.

Yeah, but she's not in it that much, man. You know what I mean? I know the next one, she's definitely be in it. The next one, I think the next one is where she gets a lot more to do. Yeah. And I think it's pretty clear there's going to be a next one. I just announced the next one, I think. I think they just said, I don't know that they did.

Did they? Well, the movie made $9 trillion. They're not going to make a next one. I know that is at least the plan. It's a three parter. I haven't felt this way about a movie or a trilogy in a very long time. I hope they stick the landing. Please stick the landing. You know what I mean? I think the last time I felt this way was Avengers in game.

Well he's pretty, he's, he has said he wants to make a third one. He just needs a break from the world of Dune for a bit. Denis Villeneuve, French Canadian, very talented people as a whole. Should we get into the scrubs, Donald? Why don't you count us in like you do so beautifully? I'm gonna wait for the plane to go by. Really? Because some of our listeners don't want to wait for the plane to go by. Wait for it.

Wait for it. Wait for it. Hold. Hold. Five, six, seven, eight. It's some stories about a show we made. About a bunch of docs and nurses and a Canada who loved making acid. Here's our stories, natural ones should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and

Dono. Mm-hmm. This is the first episode of Scrubs that I'm not in any way. Now, I've not been in an episode or two before, but I think even my name was on as a credit. I think this was the first time I was only on as executive producer. I thought I did six episodes, but I guess I only did five. There's one more episode.

You come back and you and Elliot are about to have a baby moon or some shit like that. Oh, that's right. And you have it at the hospital or some shit like that. They must've delayed it. They must've shot it and delayed it because I thought that I knew I had done six and this is number five, sorry, this is number six.

There's one with the three, there's only one episode this whole season with the three of us. Well, audience, you know more than anything from listening to this podcast that we like to go into each episode fresh. We don't like listening and watching from a place of having a specific point of view going into it. We like to clear our slate.

We like to wipe our whiteboards fresh and clean as we take in a new episode of new. Oh boy. And I would like to say- Are you ready? With that caveat, I would like to say this is probably the worst episode of Scrubs in my life. I've ever seen in my life. It is a fucking mess. I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, it is a fucking mess.

And it is abysmal. Yes. Joelle, you're laughing, you're thought. Yeah. I think, when I was watching, I was like, I feel like I like this a little bit more than last week's episode, which was really difficult for me.

I was like, this is a slog. But this one was, to your point, all over the place. It was just, it was just. What the fuck, what? I have no idea. The whole Cole storyline was just bananas. The Cole, how about the A storyline? Where the fuck was that?

I'm talking to her dad on the phone. Where the, what the hell is this? What about, can I just talk about like, maybe the nadir is how you say that word, right? The lowest point, nadir or nadir? Nadir or nadir, look that up, Daniel? The lowest point, Nader or Nader? Nader or Nader? Look that up, Daniel, because I've heard it both ways.

Okay. I've heard it, Nader. Nader. Nader. Not her, Nader. Nader. Nader. It's nader now.

It seems like it's nader in American English and nadir in British English. Oh, nadir. Nadir, okay. That's interesting. That's my British accent. Thanks, Daniel. That nadir. Whichever you prescribe to. Well, I'm an American, Daniel, so I feel. Let me say it in my British accent. That's nadir. Whichever you're prescribed to.

Well, I'm an American, Danel, so I feel like I should say nadir. I will say it in my British accent, nadir. Is that British enough for you? Yeah, I think our English fans will say that you nailed that. Thank you. I think that the nadir of nine episodes of Scrubs may be Turk saying,

I can't believe you get to see JD naked. I liked that part. I liked that actually. What? Why do you wanna see me naked? That's never been a... Cause she wants to fuck. No, I don't know dude.

The joke is that the joke of our whole relationship is that we're heterosexual men who are silly and flirty in a way, but we love each other. We don't wanna fuck each other. You don't want longing to see my cock. What the fuck is that? Why are you so offended?

I just thought it was so stupid. Why are you so offended? You're literally earnestly- I have fantasies that you long to see my cock. How come Turk can't long to see JD's cock? The character's not making a joke. He's earnestly sad and jealous that Elliot gets to- No, he's mad that she has the privilege

of seeing you naked when she doesn't even know how to do any of it. She doesn't know about eagling. She doesn't know what eagling is. You didn't think it was odd that Turk is longing to see JD naked? He's, I don't think that's what he's really saying. I think he's saying,

yo, you're like not him at all. There's nothing him about you. And you guys get, and you get to bang? You guys get to have sex. This doesn't make sense. How does this make sense? I think it's really off and weird because the whole show is weird.

The whole show, but let me just come on. I'm all worked up. The whole joke of our relationship, which audiences loved and we loved playing because it is really us is that we are these kind of guys. You and I do stupid shit. You and I do do groin to groin hug and laugh. We don't wanna fuck each other.

I don't wanna see your cock. Why is Turk longing to see JD's cock? Not once? You've never wanted to be like, I wonder what it looks like. I've seen it. It's fine. It's fine.

It's greasy and fine. What are we doing? It looks like it might hurt. Oh my word. Oh my goodness. Wow. Yo, this show makes no sense whatsoever. I mean, it makes sense, I guess, but it's like-

No, it's horrible. Who does this? Again, I wanna- Who calls their dad in the morning, it makes sense, I guess, but it's like, who does this? No, it's horrible. And again, I wanna, before we go into- Who calls their dad in the morning and says, dad, I just had sex. And then calls her later while she's fucking cold. While she's doing it. Oh, he's got me doggy style, dad.

Yeah. This is on ABC, by the way, on ABC. This was trash. And again, before we go into the details, I wanna, no disrespect to the creative people behind it. I know they were doing their best. The actors were all lovely. The writers were all funny people.

I was not lovely. I was trash. I'm sorry. This just doesn't work. And Donald was very broad, but that's not your fault. My acting ends was horrible. Yeah, you are, you have been away a long time. I am very, you have been away a long time in this motherfucker, man.

By the way, Dan, I need that as a sound bite on my sound machine. Donald's line reading from his Campbell Soup commercial. No, it's not Campbell's, it's Folgers. The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. Two things I need for the soundboard are, I need the song.

Dr. Acula. You totally dissed me on the song. Totally dissed you. Yeah, I mean, I feel like I Heart pays you decently well and you should deliver the goods. You're right. I should. I'm just kidding. That's okay.

And also I need Donald saying, you have been away a long time. I can pull both of those. You have been away a long time. All right, so Lucy gets up at 5.30 in the morning and she's overwhelmed with her schedule. So she tells her dad. That she had sex.

She's trying to get all in. She has to call her dad at 5.30 and then she tells her dad that she's having her lady needs taken care of and that she's in the middle of a real sexual awakening. And then Cole wakes up and says, once you wake up the troops, you got to storm the beach regarding his morning wood.

And then she's like, I do have time for that. I said, girl, what are you doing? Go to class. Well, she really, I mean, one thing is for certain, even though Dave Franco's character is the worst, she really does love having sex with him. She does. Not only that, his jokes are starting to become charming now too. By the end of the episode,

by the end of the episode, I like his character the most out of everybody. He's the funny one. What? He's the one. What are you talking about? I think he's the funny one. What? He's the one I made. What are you talking about? I thought he was, I think he's the biggest douche in the world. He makes me laugh so hard at some of the things

that he's saying about being stoned. Yeah, you would just have, because there was a weed joke. There was a weed joke and you laughed. There's also, you know, how, okay, it's birthday time. It's balloons, baby. What made those balloons go up? I think it was the peace sign or something like that. This thing is so stupid.

I gotta say, I was just on a Zoom call with a woman who was presenting. There we go, you had a peace sign. She was pitching me a show and she was being really justiculated. It was out of a comedy sketch. She kept gesticulating and then like in the middle of an important point,

like there'd be fireworks because. Oh, God. And then- Poor woman. No, she didn't want them, Joelle. This was the- No, it's what I'm saying. This is frustrating. No one knows how to turn this fucking thing off.

So she was like making a pitch to me and every time she was like making a point, there'd be fireworks. I just had to start laughing in her face. Oh, gosh. That's horrible. That's very funny. Dan, we need to do a public service and tell people how to turn that off if they want.

Well, it's, you know, we can do it. And in fact, I'll insert it right here. And Dan is going to tell you if you don't want to see that new, what is it called? What is it? They're called reactions. They're part of the new Mac OS Sonoma. Yeah, if you don't want that on, Dan is going to tell you how to turn it off right now. Hey, listeners, it's DJ Danil.

Tired of those pesky hand gestures ruining your meeting? Trying to make a serious point only to have it interrupted by fireworks? Sounds like you have the latest Apple operating system, Sonoma, and need to turn off video reactions, and I'm gonna tell you how. First, enter your chosen video conferencing app as normal. Once your camera has turned on, you'll notice a green video icon in the top right of your menu bar next to the date and time. Open the green video menu and click the icon next to the word reactions to deactivate it.

If it's turned off, the icon will look gray instead of blue. And that's it! No more thumbs ups or heart hands embarrassing you when you're trying to ask your boss for a raise. Now back to the show. Thank you, Dan. All right. So what a service. Public done. So at the end of the episode, I honestly think Cole is I started laughing at his jokes midway through I'm like, okay, that's funny. That's funny.

That's actually the better joke of the show. That's the better joke of the show. Dave Franco is such a funny performer that I like him so much, but he's also such a good actor that I was like, I fucking hate this character. He's the worst. But, and once you get that that's who the character is, it became funny to me.

And I started laughing at some of the shit he said, like once the, whatever. Once you wake the troops. Once you wake up the troops, you gotta storm the beach. Meaning he- It's time to fuck. He has quite a libido. Maybe you, maybe you identify with him because he, like, he has quite a libido. No, it with him because he has quite a libido. Well, that is his character,

but I like the fact that there's something in there also. He wants to go hang out with a patient who's got some fucked up shit going on and he's gonna shoot the shit with somebody who's- No, because the guy has weed. Because the guy has weed. Yeah, but nobody's gonna hang out. Nobody's hanging out with the guy.

The guy's in the hospital for some terminal shit. Yeah, but he's just there. No, he hanging out with the guy. The guy's in the hospital for some terminal shit. Yeah, but he's just there. No, he's got glaucoma and he's only going there because he has government weed. We'll get there. We're jumping ahead. Turk's storyline is that he's mourning JD and then there's a New Orleans style funeral.

Yes, where Turk sings. And then Carrie Bache says, he done gone to Zion? Yeah. That was really fucking uncomfortable. Yeah. Cringy. I mean, this whole show is really uncomfortable now. No, wait, now I have a question.

What do you call that type of funeral other than a New Orleans style funeral? Is that what you call it? I want to say homecoming, but I think that's just the very black aspect of it. This is just a homecoming. I don't know. I've only seen that in reference to like a New Orleans style funeral. That's what I that's how I picture it.

It was a cool looking fantasy, by the way. They only used it for a split second. There's no fantasy. I think that's the only fantasy in the whole show. New Orleans Tourism Board calls it a jazz funeral. Oh, a jazz. Which begins at a church or funeral home and leads the way to the cemetery. Moors, you're joined by a brass band that plays music

that starts off heavy and sad, but soon turns celebratory. I think that's so cool, by the way. It's fricking awesome. I would love a parade. Are you kidding me? I would love a parade. I love a parade. I love a parade. I think that a jazz funeral is fucking cool.

I've never been to one. That would be an awesome way to go. A celebration. A celebration, a parade. Well, I told you the John Ritter story. I've always thought of that. In fact, I think I told you guys, right, when you hear the USC marching band? Yeah. The USC marching, at think I told you guys, right, when you had the USC marching band.

Yeah. The USC marching, at the end of the memorial, the USC marching band came in because John Ritter loved the USC and they played the whole band at full volume in this auditorium. And then it was so powerful. And I actually put that in,

wish I was here, shot it, and then ended up not using it. But I don't know why, I wish I had, because I was here, shot it, and then ended up not using it. But I don't know why, I wish I had, because it was really cool. There's something really special about my culture. I remember seeing a movie when I was a kid, my mom loved it, and it was about this woman

who was like the, she was the nanny to this family, but her daughter was actually passing as a white girl, but she was black. Yeah. But every check the woman got, she would put a little bit away for her funeral. So at the end of the movie, when her funeral happens, it's this huge parade for this woman who, I forget the name of the movie, and this is such a classic movie, the star of the movie won an Academy Award for it. So I think she's the first black

woman to ever win an Academy Award. Am I wrong? You're wrong. The first black woman to win an Academy Award was the woman in the win, right? Thank you. But wasn't she the person that played? She might not be the person that played this character then. I don't think she's the same woman, but not for that role. Maybe. I don't know. I could be wrong. All I know is she puts the money away at the end of the it's an old movie.

It's older than I am. And it's probably came out when my mother was very young. And she used to love watching that movie. That one in Mommy Daris. I don't know why Mommy Daris, but that one in Mommy Daris. No, why? I was having a Donald in that movie. Imitation of life, imitation of life, imitation of life. Sorry, Hattie McDonald.

Yeah, it's I watched it in film school and I was there. I was like, I didn't know we were making movies like this Back then right back Literally passing 1934 is the original release date passing in white America as a White woman and she's really black and her mother is like a nanny and All types of shit and it's just just a powerful I just remember at the end she puts on this huge parade for her funeral, all the money that she put away for the funeral. And at the end, that's this huge parade. And I always thought that's a way to go man. Like if you're going to go out, let everybody celebrate this shit. Horns. I want brass. Let everybody celebrate.

Don't just be... I mean, I dread funerals. I hate crying, saying goodbye. I want it to be... If I'm going to cry, yeah, sure, but I want to celebrate your life. I don't want to freaking mourn that you're gone, regardless of how you were taken or whatever. I want to celebrate whoever.

And I hope people want to celebrate me when I'm gone. You honor me. I'll fucking play a trumpet myself, baby, at your funeral. I want you to play it out of your butthole though. I want you to take the trumpet, stick it in your butt and go. I'm not doing that. What would you like me to sing?

Would you like me to perform at your funeral if you die before me? When beneath my wings. If I die before you, I want you to do like, something that, you know, when you were just up and coming, something that I want everybody to perform at my funeral. I'm not gonna lie. All right, well, what do you want me to do?

I wanna start rehearsing in case, you know, you go- Oh, that's fucked up. Do some type of monologue or something like that. Okay, something, maybe I'll sing a corner of the sky from Pippin. I prefer you didn't sing. Oh, you want me to sing? I prefer you spoke.

Oh, you want me to do like a monologue from a play? Yeah, some shit like that. Something that touched you. Hi, I'm Zach Graf. I'm six foot tall. I'm with CAA and I'll be performing a monologue from Glengarry Glenross, Shelley the Machine Levine. Perfect.

And then I go into like a 10 minute monologue and like really just give it all I got. I love it. That would be the best send off ever. All right. You think I'm joking, but that would be awesome. I think your family and friends that didn't know or listen to this podcast would be like,

what the fuck is Zach doing? No, I think- I'd have to say this was Donald's dying wish. I think you'd be surprised how many people, I think you'd be surprised how many people would be like, I'm about to buy, impromptu shit, here we go. Motherfuckers come out and know what's going on. What if I roasted you instead,

if I did like a Donald Faisal you instead if I did like a like a Donald Faison roast. Then you'd have to go on last Okay. Well, do we know who else is performing? Definitely definitely new addition who do you want like if if if if they're still alive, who do you want to perform? Assuming you can get anyone assuming Jay-z Jay-Z. Jay-Z, okay.

And maybe he makes a rap specifically about your life. I want him to start from the beginning and go all the way to the end. Yeah, start from Campbell, from the Campbell's. Folgers, motherfucker, Folgers. That's the professional shit. I want him to start at the national. I want him to start from the National Black Theater.

Right. Take it from the National Black Theater all the way to death. Okay. Got it. Well, I'm going to put in a request for that. If he's still alive. We don't know if he's going to still be alive. Right. We don't know what it is.

We don't know when it is. You don't, you never know. Yeah. If it's soon, we could probably get Dionne Warwick. And I never thought I'd feel this way. That's what you can do. You Dionne Warwick. Oh yeah. That's what friends are for. And if you can remember.

I love that song. All right. So if it's soon, I will sing, keep smiling. Keep shining. Knowing you can always count on me. For sure, that's what friends are for. Come on now. Who else do we want?

Me, Dion, who else? I want you to get the originals. They're all still alive. Whitney's not alive. Whitney Houston's not an original on that. Who is the originals? It's Dionne Warwick. It's Elton John Stevie Wonder mmm and Gladys Knight

Came in open me and now there's so much more I see and so by the way I thank you. Oh, and the old and the early And so by the way I thank you. Oh, and the old and the early And so by the way I thank you. Oh, and the old and the early And so by the way I thank you. Oh, and the old and the early

He's smiling.

Well, I can get those people together. I have a contact to get all those people together. What's that? I can get all those people together. Awesome. For my funeral. I really could. I have a good connection to Elton and Stevie.

I'd have to die soon, but that didn't happen, no. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how much important this is. I don't know how important this is to you, but if you want it, you're going to have to die sooner than later. Right, if I want this. I'm gonna have to croak now. All right, on that note, we'll be right back. Just listen to this commercial. You're going to love it. On that note, we'll be right back. Just listen to this commercial. You're going to love it. Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, host of Womanica, a daily podcast that introduces you to the fascinating lives of women history has forgotten. This month, we're bringing you the stories of disappearing acts. There's the 17th century fraudster who convinced men she was a German princess.

The 1950s folk singer who literally drove off into the sunset and was never heard from again. The First Nations activist whose kidnapping and murder ignited decades of discourse about indigenous women's disappearances. And the young daughter of a Russian czar whose legendary escape led to even more intrigue and speculation. These stories make us consider what it means to disappear and why a woman might even want to make herself scarce. Listen to a manica on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Every family has skeletons in their closet. Mine certainly does. Ones that go back a hundred years and reach thousands of miles back to our hometown in Sicily. Ever since I can remember, my relatives told the story of my great-great-grandmother who was killed by the mafia. I'm Jo Piazza, and in my new podcast, I'm taking on a generational vendetta, visiting the scene of the crime, confronting mafia experts, tracking down Italian officials, and even consulting mediums to set the record straight on my great-great-grandmother's mysterious disappearance. And in between the fact-finding missions, I'll be drinking a lot of wine and eating all of the pasta. Come to Italy with me to solve this hundred-year-old

murder mystery. Listen to The Sicilian Inheritance 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 gonna 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. Old rock icon, Liz Farr.

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 iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. And we're back. And we're back. All right, we have to return to talking about scrubs. Now, Sarah Chalk is here. I guess the contractual thing for season nine was they didn't want to pay me and Sarah at the same time.

So if I left, then they could pay Sarah. I don't know what the contractual thing is. I think that's what it was. I didn't know y'all was getting money like that. Shit. Well, I think- We can't afford the both of y'- I didn't know y'all was getting money like that shit. Well, I think- We can't afford to both of y'all, so one of y'all motherfuckers gotta go.

Well, I tapped out and Sarah tapped in. That's clearly what's happened. There we go. There's no explanation. There's no explanation as to why at all Sarah is not there. It is what it is. I mean, even the young cast are introducing themselves to her. They've never met her.

No one's ever explained why she hasn't been there. Yeah, and and and she's very pregnant really for real pregnant not fake pregnant Isn't this the first time also that the show is now open with someone else doing the yes. So Carrie Bichet In the title sequence puts the x-ray now facing the right way into the light box title sequence puts the X-ray now facing the right way into the light box. So there was some sad scrubs score when Sarah, Elliot tells you that I said that I miss you too. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

And then- That show was like a, ugh. And then Elliot refers to it as riding the eagle, which really upset you. It triggers him. Yeah, it would trigger you too, I think. You don't ride the eagle, you eagle. Yeah, and I think that-

You don't, let's do the eagle, let's eagle. Yeah. It's just eagle. For those of you out there who like to eagle your friends, make sure you're using that correctly. You don't ride the Eagle. You Eagle. It's a, it's a verb. And we learned that JD and Turk had a pillow fight club.

You don't talk about that shit. You don't talk about it. Denise is so fucking nuts that she jokingly tells her boyfriend that she's late with her period. And then it turns him on. He says that he vibes on crazy. Obviously, you or someone, one of you guys pointed it out that they're so obviously meant to be.

Yeah, Donald, you're the one who pointed out they're so obviously meant to be Cox and Jordan. And I really see that now more than ever. Like, it's like, oh, even when he stands next to Johnny C. Even when he's standing next to Johnny C. He's like a, I'm not gonna say a younger version, but he is almost a, they almost look alike. Like, this is the direction the show could have went.

You know what I mean? And everybody would have said, oh, I see where they're going. I'm gonna be honest with you. I think my character is way too distracting. I think there are so many other stories they could have done other than me missing JD. Then, sorry, Turk missing JD.

I feel like this is something that we did before, where he goes to Disneyland. And it just seems, I mean, I get it. Everything is supposed to be poetry. It all has to rhyme and shit like that, but May I ask a question? Joelle, please. Do you guys think the show would be better if Drew was the lead character and we're following his journey? Yes, that's a good question. I think yes. I do actually yes. I do I think that I think this is this is not meant to be

Nothing. No disrespect to Carrie. No disrespect to be controversial. No disrespect to Carrie, no disrespect to her character. No disrespect to Carrie. We've said a thousand times that Carrie is a phenomenal actress, and I do take full credit for discovering her. Okay. No, she's an extraordinary actress, and so adorable and beautiful,

and a sweetheart of a human being. I wonder if we were asking too much of the audience, not only were we switching the voiceover, but we were switching to the female perspective. I wonder if it would have been easier for them to invest again in a young male intern, I don't know. I don't think it has to do with gender. I just think the character is the same character

all over again. All right, that's better said, you're right. It isn't just, perhaps it's not gender, it's going for the exact wide-eyed goofy person as opposed to trying a different angle. I also think that Drew just is stealing the show, to be honest. I think that he's the most grounded, the most real.

I mean, it's a great lesson for actors, you actors out there. I mean, watch the difference between what we're all doing because we've leaned into all the jokes and look at what Michael Moseley is doing. He's in a broad comedy, but he's playing it all straight and it really makes a difference. And that's what we used to do before we leaned

into the turn on all these jokes. Now granted, some of the script doesn't help when Turk's longing to see JD's cock. Yeah, I just think Drew, like, returning with somebody who was like, I'm not sure I can do this and I already failed once is so much more compelling than, Yep. I'm really excited to become a doctor. It's hard, which is sort of what Lucy's storyline is so far. Like I don't really know. And that's what it started out.

What the issue is. Whereas JD when he starts is like, I really want to be a doctor. Oh my gosh. I'm going to have to confront a lot of difficulties, but it was not like, oh, it's hard to be a doctor. It's emotionally, I'm so vulnerable, being a doctor is going to challenge that aspect of me. But we don't really see that so much with Lucy.

So yeah, I don't know. I'm very invested in Drew's character. Also, we were interns. These are med students. That woman who spoke about the difference last week, really put that in my head because yet again, there's a scene where Lucy's being asked to start an IV in this episode, and we learned that a med student

would never be doing that on a patient. So, you know, there's also this difference, the fact that we were interns, we were further along in our process. We were comparable at being, we were capable, I should say, at being in a hospital and working around people who were in need of assistance. We were at the point in the journey

where you're actually interacting with patients. You can do this now. You're allowed. All right, Cole, this is what you were talking about earlier. He's gonna go leave to hang out with a glaucoma patient because the guy clearly has legal weed. This is long before weed was as legal as it is now in California, but-

Or in any state. Weed is legal in New York, bro. I know. I'm just saying it's such a different era that they had to clearly stipulate that it was government weed for a glaucoma patient. Wink, wink. And're going to watch Benson, which for a lot of people,

I'm sure they have no knowledge of what Benson is. But Donald and I are of the era where we watched Benson. Da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da. Robert Guillaume, da-da, da-da. Benson was a- Da-da, da-da, da-da-da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da He wasn't just running the shit. Got it. But he wasn't just running the, he wasn't just running, helping run the freaking, whatever the state was. He was also helping run the house, like the White House and stuff like, I mean, whatever the- The governor's mansion. The governor's mansion.

And that's where that joke comes from. Motherfucker, I ain't Benson, I ain't here to solve everybody's problems and shit. Whose joke is that? That's you? No, that's like a, I think it's like a Martin Lawrence or a- All I know is that when Donald and I checked into our loft

that we rented, that we've told you about in what was probably 2000, the summer of 2000, Donald? 2001 or two. There were two rooms and one was way better than the other. And Donald- Well, you got there first, so you got the way better room. Donald checked in, Donald checked in.

He's like, I'm not fucking staying in that room. I'm not Benson. So I slept in the hallway bed. Outside my room. Outside of his room with the shit around it. The shit was so fucking, it was so rustic. I don't know if that's the word. It was so-

No, it's not the word. It was like, that shit was like straight. First of all, the- No, it was an artist loft and the room, the place was giant. It's probably 3,000 square feet. It was huge, but it hadn't been redone. It hadn't really been redone. And that room was like, I tried to sleep in there one night and it was the stuffiest room I'd ever been in. The washer and dryer were in there too. Yeah. I was like, get the fuck out of here.

Nope. So anyway, outside the room that I had chosen, there was like a, you know, a day bed that was nice. It was like big. And so Donald just slept there. I was like, fuck this. It was so funny though. I'll never forget that summer.

Yeah. It's a great summer. That's one of my favorite summers of all time. So Turk is finally teaching. I guess he got JD's classroom because he's teaching and there's a mix up with Lucy's slides. She mixed up ones from a bachelorette party. Her sister's bachelorette party.

Where she really goes nuts. She really goes, that party got wild. That was like Laverne's above-ground pool party I hate to tell you this man, but bachelorette parties depending on who the bachelorette is Really? Things go crazy. They get as crazy as bachelor parties man. I say crazy. I mean sex. Yes and and Police involvement potentially. Yeah, like freaking- People lose their minds. Yo, dude, I don't know what it is about,

it's my last night and then everybody else is like, well, then it's my last night too. You know, you always hear the stereotype of men's bachelor parties getting crazy and there's like- Women's are just like that too. And there's escorts or strippers, but I wonder what the real percentage of... Ask Shannan Tatum. You could ask Shannan Tatum.

He made a freaking fortune off of Magic Mike. A fortune. I've never seen those movies. Does he work as an escort? I've never seen one of those movies. But it's about strippers. Gentlemen, what are we doing with our lives? These are classic American cinema. You need to see Magic Mike. It's so good. Okay, well, shit. Let's about strippers. Gentlemen, what are we doing with our lives? This is our classic American cinema. You need to see Magic Mike.

It's so good. Okay, well shit, let's watch Magic Mike. Maybe we can talk about Magic Mike. This is now gonna be a Magic Mike re-watch podcast. Here we go, we're gonna do a Magic Mike re-watch. Like, Joel is happy as fuck, look at this! I would love to see a feature-team Magic Mike. Are you kidding me?

Joel. Hallelujah! Joel. What percentage do you think of bachelorettes This is a Riturteak Magic mic, are you kidding me? Joelle. Hallelujah. Joelle. What percentage do you think of bachelorettes hook up on their bachelorette party weekend? Probably the same percentage, maybe even more than men. They call it a hen-do, a hen-do in London.

Hook up with someone, like 15 maybe? Maybe less, 10, five. No, I say it's the exact opposite. I say it's more than men. Really? You think it's more than men? I think it's 5% more than men. That's like when we have the marriage council and she said women cheat more than men.

I said, what is happening with my perception of the world? Crazy. And she knows. So it's possible. She knows. Well, all I know is if I ever get married, I hope that the bachelorette party slash hen do is something very tame, like in Napa.

We went for a girls weekend. Yeah, that's where that should be happening. We went for a girls weekend. No, I don't wanna- I used to live in Boys Town in Chicago, and so we would see just troves of bridal parties, like getting drunk. And then they would wind up like groping the dudes.

The dudes are like, I'm in Boys Town. I'm not here for you. Please leave me alone. And they'd like, it's safe. It's not cheating because you're gay. It's like it's still human. You can just put your hands on them. What are we doing? Right. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

Put my penis in your mouth and maybe gay and say it's not cheating. That's the fuck. Well, do you think that's what she was doing? Cause they were like, there was a time where she had a photo of him while we couldn't see. He's like, what are you doing? I mean, it rain with $9. I was like, this is insanely,

I mean, she was, yeah. She was blowing, I inferred that she was blowing him. That's what I thought. Yikes. Yikes. And then Cox put that picture on the wall. Oh. And then Cox put that picture on the wall. And then she says, I made it rain, move on.

$9 is not making it rain. Yeah, that's a no. What qualifies as making it rain? And $4. When you make it rain, is it singles? Yeah. It can be. Usually, I mean, you can make it rain, is it singles? Yeah. It can be. Usually, I mean, you can make it rain with hundreds.

It just has to be a bunch of dollars. Wait, but who makes it rain with hundreds? Rappers, NBA players. Yeah, there you go. Rappers. Wow, Donald. I mean, you make it rain with a, if you took out like, you know, $105 bills

and made it rain, people would be like, oh shit, this motherfucker made it rain. That's making it rain. Donald, have you ever made it rain? In a Gavin DeGraw video. Directed by me. I invented making it rain in a Gavin DeGraw video with Zagraphe.

That's true. You can check the stats. You can check the stats before that video. I don't know if you invented making a ranch. I did, motherfucker. No, just kidding. Bro, we were, by the way, this is now a time when after this episode, you should watch on YouTube

the Gavin DeGraw video for Chariot that I directed where you will see Donald Faison make it rain. Wow. Great song too. Wow. Mm-hmm. Remember that shoot? Jamie King? Jamie King is the love interest. Remember, um, that shoot down that was a crazy shoot. That was one of the dopest things I had ever seen you do.

Yeah, it was back. It was at that point I had never seen you. I mean, well I take it back you did you direct that episode, but this was something that you had, you were completely like on your own and all you had was Cabot really. That's it. And me. And then everybody else,

I didn't know who the fuck they were. It wasn't the normal crew and everything. At least with Scrubs, when you directed that first episode, at least you had, the crew had your back, the cast had your back. You knew everyone. And we were trying to make a great show. At this point, it was like,

dog, I'm trying to make the best video for you, Gavin. And I don't know any of these people and the set is not working the way it's supposed to. It wasn't. It was a nightmare. It was one of the scariest shoots ever been on because I had designed this whole video as a oner without the camera cutting. It was a very elaborate moving set I've ever been on because I had designed this whole video as a oner without the camera cutting. It was a very elaborate moving set

and we spent a lot of money on the set. There was back in the days when MTV would let you do that too. That was back in the day when there were still big budgets for videos and we had about a hundred extras. We needed a full day of rehearsal and we just didn't have it. And so we tried to go on one day. I remember it was like 6 p.m. and we hadn't shot anything,

which is called in director lingo, a fucking nightmare. But then I pivoted because you have to pivot as a filmmaker when things aren't working. And I said, this is no longer a oner. And guess what? We're gonna do it in pieces and in between, we're gonna cut to really beautiful close-up shots of very handsome Gavin DeGraw singing into the lens.

And so it'll be a series of oners that are stitched together with a shot of Gavin singing the lens. And by the way, it ended up being a blessing in disguise because everybody wanted to see him singing in close-up, whereas the video didn't have that. But it was crazy. It was crazy.

Well, the video showed told the story of, you know, artists and how they get to the stage, you know what I mean? How the machine works. Yeah, how they get from the beginning of the beginning of it all to the stage finally, and how there's always that young someone in your life to distract you along the way. And sometimes it's money, sometimes it's- Jamie King. Jamie King, that's right. If we had a day of rehearsal,

which would have been so expensive, but I could have really done the whole thing as a one, it wouldn't have been cool. But anyway, if you're curious, check out the video. All right, we'll take a break and we'll be right back. This particular ad right here is one of the best we've ever done. Oh man, I hope it's something for like,

if you were a loved one, has mesothelioma. Oh my God. I never thought I'd take my three young kids to Sicily to solve a century old mystery, but that's what I'm doing in my new podcast, The Sicilian Inheritance. Join us as we travel thousands of miles on the beautiful and crazy island of Sicily as I trace my roots back through a mystery for the ages and untangle clues within my family's origin story, which is morphed like a game of telephone through the generations.

Was our family matriarch killed in a land deal gone wrong? Or was it by the Sicilian mafia? A lover's quarrel? Or was she, as my father believed, a witch?

You know, I watch, I stopped watching as much CNN as I was watching because it's so bad for me, but I realized when I was watching it, that all the ads were aimed at senior citizens.

So I was, I was getting targeted by all these senior citizen ads. I never see young fun ads. Like I don't watch sports obviously, which is usually where our T-Mobile stuff airs. So I never even see like young fun ads. I just see ads aimed at seniors. I didn't realize that a lot of old people stay up late too. I would think they would go to bed early

because late night is when they start trying to sell you all of that old, old shit. You know what I mean? I have CNN just constantly trying to sell me something that's like, I shouldn't clean my gutters because it's too dangerous for me to clean my gutters. Don't shovel, you're gonna get a heart attack. I'm gonna get hurt.

I mean, I know, no joke, I know people do get, a lot of people get hurt cleaning their gutters, but I am not, I don't think the target demo for that campaign, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen the change to this product so you don't have to clean your gutters thing. Life alert commercial. Life alert.

It still exists. I'm falling. They got a new lady who fell and can't get up. Fell and can't get up. Yeah, they retired. Holy shit. Well, she fell and didn't get I didn't realize. They got a new lady who fell and can't get up. Fell and can't get up? Yeah, they retired. Well, she fell and didn't get up. She never did get up. She never did get up.

She never did get up. Alright, here in more bad scrubs episodes, Cole is convinced that there's rankings. That's all bullshit. He's tricked by Cox and Drew. What about this? This was so stupid. Chopped pants. So Turk wears sweatpants, oh sorry, scrubs that say chop on them

because he loves pork chop so much. Then Denise says, look, there's JD. And like the worst sitcom ever, Turk goes, where, did he wear his pork chop pants? No, that's not great. Oof. Then Elliot says, chillax my brother, which made me cringe a bit.

Even more. It made me cringe more than freaking the Zion thing. Cause we, we as the old crew should know better. By the way, there's three moments in this episode where white people say things that are very cringey. And the second was chillax my brother. And then when Turk is auditioning new friends, Kelso says that he wants a black friend

to help him out with the sisters. And so he can quote, get my swirl on. I'm all about the swirl, okay? What does that mean swirl? I don't even know. I'm fine with swirl. Well, it's like when you mix chocolate and vanilla and you swirl.

Oh yeah. Well then you're a swirler. That's literally the name of the fucking ice cream. Swirl, chocolate and vanilla swirl. I didn't know what get my swirl on means. I just knew that it didn't sound right coming out of Ken's mouth. It means like when you dip your in some black,

it would be swirling. Got it. Or anything that's not white. Dun, dun that's not white. The more you know. But it has to be sex. It's not dating, it's sex. Swirl is sex. Oh it's only sex. Yes. So if I want to date with an African American woman I'm not swirling. That is not swirling. Y'all we're not on a date. It's only sex. When we copulate we're swirling. When you mix. I see. When we become, when our bodies swirl together.

Sure. Have a swirl. Now, look, if you don't like to swirl, you don't like to swirl. That's you. Everybody each their own. I'm just going to say this for everybody out there. It's okay to swirl if you do swirl. Love has no color. Right.

And this is coming from someone who really has committed his entire life to swirling. No, that's not true. I am the rainbow fucking kind. I have dated pretty, well, not the gay kind of sex, but I have fucked every, I have dated every ethnicity. You haven't fucked the rainbow if you haven't had sex with a man, I don't think. Right, that's what I'm saying.

I said not the gay kind of rainbow fucking. Yet. Yet, right, thank you. But. You're an equal opportunity person. Absolutely, and whoever floats my boat, my wife, who that is, who it is right now, is the one that has me.

Do you ever ask your wife, if you're trying to propose intercourse that is who it is right now, is the one that has me. And she will have me for the rest of her life. If you're trying to propose intercourse with your wife, Casey, have you ever said, do you want a swirl? No, I say, do you want some black dick? Zach, I love you. Oh, God. Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you.

Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you. Zach, I love you. You're way too excited about that. It is. The man loves his wife. Listen, the man, may every couple have a love relationship so strong, he's in love with his wife. I'm gonna tell you something right now.

We fight sometimes. Yes. And it's horrible. And we say some horrible things to each other, but there is no person on this planet that I would want to spend the rest of my life with other than her. That's wonderful.

There is not one person. She has, I don't know what it is about her, but I really enjoy the life that we have created together. That's amazing. And I don't want to sacrifice that for anything. How do you make up when you've had a bad fight? Are you the first person to say, I'm sorry? I say, you want to see my black dick?

No. No, come on, be honest. No, that's not what I say. No. I don't say that. I don't really say that. I met Casey and I don't think that. I think now you're, I think what happened was,

I think what happened was. You don't think I say that? You don't think I say that? I think what happened was, I think what happened was- You don't think I say that? You don't think I say that? I think what happened was, I think what happened is you got vulnerable and then you felt like you had to pull up your masculinity and say something. Maybe there was a bit of that in there,

but you know what? That means nothing to the fact that you don't think I'll be saying that to her though. I'm sure you do jokingly, but I'm curious for a real answer. When you guys have a bad fight, is it she that normally tries to make amends or do you do it? We don't make amends.

We just forget about it and move on. That's what marriage is. Oh, that seems healthy. Let me write that down. So you just forget about it. That's what marriage is. That's what marriage is. Marriage is this.

I fucking hate you. I hate you too. I'll talk to you later. Wow. I feel like it might be good to like occasionally talk it out and be like, hey, about the other night, I'm sorry that I was feeling this and you were feeling that. And I, you don't ever do that? Yeah. But that's like, you know,

that's the boring part of marriage. The making up, that's that's the boring part of marriage, the making up. That's like fucking. I'm just asking if that happens. Yeah, that does happen. But that's not the fun part. The fun part isn't the I fucked up my bed. There's no even in the argument.

The arguments, the best part, like the way that we. I don't know, like, yeah, sure. We'll have the talk of, she's just coming home. Is that her? No. Yes, it is. The way that we have, let's ask her shit. Okay, hit the song, demo.

KC, come down here. I don't know nothing about raising these fools. So tell me what to do. I don't know nothing about raising these kids. And that's what it is. Hi, we just played your song. Hi guys. Hi Casey.

Hi Casey. Were y'all just thinking about me and played it for? No, well, Donald, we were talking about when couples argue and then it gets bad. And then we were asking Donald how, like, whether he or you is the first person after it's calmed down and all the emotions out to be like, hey, sorry about da da da da da da.

And Donald kind of implied that y'all just kind of move on and don't talk about it. Oh, no. No. I'm trying to communicate throughout the entire thing and he doesn't like to communicate his way of, and he also doesn't like to say he's sorry and admit when he's wrong.

So the way that I know when he knows he's wrong and he's trying to say sorry is usually cause he pulls it out and was like, no, Casey, he told us this. And we were like, no, he pulls his penis out. Did you tell them you pull your penis out? Yeah, but we thought he was joking. We thought it was joking. Oh no.

That's his way of making up with him. He pulls his penis. He doesn't know how to say sorry. So he'll just be like, he'll ride it out for like three or four days. And then finally he'll be like, does this look good to you? Oh shit.

But it sounds like you then forgive him. You guys never have the like. I tried to tell you, I didn't wanna get you. You know what? Because I've already said and voiced everything in my, I've communicated everything. I've already talked it out. I've already expressed every pro-con.

But don't you want him, don't you want, wouldn't you prefer him to be like, hey, I'm really sorry, I fucked up because of XYZ? I would prefer him to do a lot of things, but that's not who... I'm Harry, and I know him better than the back of my hand, and this is how he is. And I will say, once that contact has been made or that's out of the way, then he's, I'm sorry. You know I just act like that because of this, this, this. And I'm like, well, just say that shit.

You could have said that shit three days ago. Right. You've done so much time. Oh, Casey, you're safe. Really, Casey, you're a pretty great wife. You're a pretty good catch. Yeah, you guys have to remember we've been together how long?

Since 2006. I mean. That's a long time. This is a long time. I don't have, you know what? I don't have time to sit. I'm not deep. I'm not sensitive. So it's kind of like that's.

But you also are a very strong personality. And I wondered that, it sounds like you're saying you do, but when the fights going on, are you like, do you wanna say like, this is not how we should be communicating? I'm obsessed. Oh, I do. I say all those things.

I mean, I do, he knows. I mean, at least I think I say, this is not healthy. This is not, like even just recently we had an argument and it all stemmed from like our kids basketball. And I was like, this basketball is one of, is a big distractor in our happiness, as a family, as a whole. I was like, we need to dial it back.

And you know, we fight and it goes, and then days later we're like, you know, after we've seen penis and balls and everything, then it's like, yeah, I don't think we need to do this tonight and go to practice and this and that. I think we need to scale it back. I'm like, okay. Oh, I see.

So there's a rhythm to it. There's. So you know, even when it's bad. You know Donald? I mean, you. I don't have a lot of experience of Donald ever going ever. Hey, I wanna reach out. This is awkward and uncomfortable, but I reach out, this is awkward

and uncomfortable, but I was out of line and I'm sorry. I don't have any experience with that. No, I mean, and not to be arrogant, but I honestly believe there's times that y'all's friendship probably would have never lasted this long had I not been in the equation. No, it's true. It's true because he doesn't ever,

he's never the one to say that. You've been the one to be like, y'all need to talk. Yeah, and that's what I told him the other day when we were talking about something else. I was like, I have no problem going with my tail between my legs. I don't get embarrassed. I have no shame to be the one that says this,

or even not even to my husband, like even if it's a third party, I have no problem to be like, guys, sorry, I blew this out of proportion. I'm the reason this whole fight happened. Like, let's get past this for the kids. Like, it's my fault. Sometimes I'll take the blame just so we can all communicate about it and, which is not healthy probably.

No, because doesn't that build resentment? Cause after a while you're like, I always fucking am the one who ends the fight. I'm always the one who puts my tail between my legs. But I also just like it when everyone's happy. Right. But during those three days where there's tension and you're not talking, do you ever want to be like, hey, this is so stupid.

Can we just talk this out? Like, I don't want to be in silent treatment mode. Sometimes, but then sometimes I'm like, whatever. Good luck. There's that piece of you. You know, there's times where Donald's like, I want a divorce. I'm like, all right.

I want a divorce too. Yeah, but you- Don't even act like you don't be saying shit like that. Oh yeah, I hate you. I want a divorce. All right, then fuck it, let's do it. But that's what I say now, but there was a time, say a year ago, when you were like, let's get a divorce. And I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna divorce. All right, then fuck it, let's do it. But that's what I say now, but there was a time say a year ago

when you were like, let's get a divorce. And I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna divorce you. I'm like, good luck. Good luck doing all the manual labor to get to the point where you've got to divorce me. Cause I'm the one that's gonna have to call the schedule. I'm gonna have to file a case for you. I'm gonna have to file for you.

Donald, Donald, Donald baked out trying to- This is what I deal with people. This is what I deal with. Donald all baked out trying to- This is what I deal with, people. This is what I deal with. Donald all stolen trying to- Good luck divorcing me. Trying to call a lawyer and organize a call with a lawyer. I can't picture it. Yeah, so-

He'd be like, babe, babe, babe, babe, can you call a lawyer for me? But also, guys, I have to say, and I'm very grateful for this, we've never had a fight that wasn't over stupid shit. Like we've never had like some real crazy marriage doomsday fight. At least I don't think so.

The fights we have are like stupid shit. Can we pivot to a different topic, Casey? One more question for you that came up today. This has nothing to do with your life. We were wondering what percentage of women at their bachelorette parties are actually hooking up with men? Do you think that it's higher, even, or less than men?

Less. I've been to at least eight or nine, and I've never experienced anything like that. The bachelorette parties I've gone to, even with the dudes there doing the dances and all that stuff, it's more of the cringe. Like all the girls are in the corner like, Oh my God. Hold on, hold on, hold on. That's Casey's group of people.

That's your group of friends. That's it. That's not, that's not act all of a sudden act like, hold on now, hold on now. This is a different demographic. Yeah, I don't trust those. I don't trust that person. It's like a fucking bachelorette party. All right. All right. Thank you, Casey. Thank you, Casey. Yes. I just had a four hour breakfast with Gudge and I'm just happy.

Sarah, talk everybody now. Oh, that's awesome. I just love seeing her. Okay, bye guys. Bye. Bye. Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach, I love you. Sweetheart.

He married well, he just has to show her his penis. Jesus Christ. Lord, I've seen what you've done for other people. All you gotta do is, basically your recipe is ignore for three days and then whip out your penis. I want a magical penis and just solve problems. Not for real, what the fuck.

You must have a magical penis. That shit be working. Well, we all doubted you, Donald, when you said that your penis solves all your marial problems. Wow. Wow. Look at the smile on his face. Let's finish up. The newsletter is a lie. Lucy runs out of underwear and so she wears a bathing suit to work.

Turk is auditioning new friends. The funniest one of all was Todd, who says that he's ready to take their relationship to the next level physically. And he said, did you say physically? He goes, weird five. And then he goes, get there. And then he winks. Get there and winks.

I'm glad that Todd is still around. Yeah, Todd should be in more of the show by the way. I know, right? And look, if we're gonna introduce new characters, let's at least bring back some of the old ones for more than just their typical line. By the way, Joelle said the show should be told from Drew's point of view. I think it should be told from Todd's point of view. You do not want to show from Todd's point of view at a school. No, no, no. The fact that Todd is allowed to work at this space.

You're right. He's a seasoning. He's a seasoning. You don't want to, you don't want, it's nice to have a little salt. You don't want to, you don't want to, it's a nice to have a little salt. You don't want all salt. No. All right. Elliot goes home after talking to a patient and Lucy loses faith in her. Um, snore, snore, snore. Lucy banged her boyfriend while talking to her dad and said it was the

most turned on she's ever been. Like a freak. Like a vault. And then- That moment right there, I thought to myself, Elliot should be able to relate to this shit because- Thank you. She is, her freak flag is way more than Lucy's is. So when she said that,

I expected Elliot to be like, oh, well, there was this one time. You know what I mean? Yes, yes. I was so confused by the dynamic between these two women. Like Elliot is classic. And she always has this bleeding heart for her students where she's like, I really want them to like me and I hope.

And so it was conflicting because on the one hand, I was like, oh, maybe this is showing a lot of growth in Elliot in that, you know, she's like, no, it's gotta be about me. We remember from the original scrub series, like I wanna be a mom. I'm not sure I wanna be a doctor all my life. I will have to take, like,

so the end result sort of worked for me, but the initial part, like I really think Elliot would understand Lucy in a much more intimate way so quickly. You have so much in common. I was gonna- They're the same fricking character pretty much. You know what I mean? Fricking, you have so much in common. I was gonna do this. They're the same frickin' character pretty much. You know what I mean? It's like they put JD and Elliot

and smashed them together and made Lucy. You know what I mean? All of, it's very clear that that's what they did. And it would have been, and she is more like Elliot than she is JD. You know what I mean? Her fantasies are Elliot, you know what I mean? Her fantasies are Elliot. You know what I mean? But she does fantasize like JD did.

You know, it's very upsetting in a lot of ways, because it's like, we could have went so many other ways, we could have just made it so that this is a completely different show, with completely new characters, but we're trying to recreate the same shit over and over again. In every episode though too. It's not like just one episode, it's every episode. So that being said, we should probably get to the letters. Eat these balls, Zach.

Fuck your sound effects machine. Right? Steve Aoki who? Are we going to let it? Oh wow. All right. Let's go break and then when we come back, we'll play the Joelle Monique's Down to Get Down song because we know it's an audience favorite.

This commercial right here changed my life. I don't understand what the big fat ones are. You don't put those inside of you, do you? I mean, you do? This is a show about women. Okay, so I just reapplied my lip gloss after eating a delicious lunch. We are headed back now to the European Political Systems class at Baruch College. Finally, a show about women that isn't just a thinly veiled aspirational nightmare. That's it. That's actually the name of the show. It's not hosted, not narrated. We're just dropping into a woman's world. It's like reality TV on the radio.

I found out when my dad was gay when I was 10, we were in a convertible on the 405 freeway listening to the B-52s. And looking back, I should have said, this is gay. This is already all gay.

of miles on the beautiful and crazy island of Sicily as I trace my roots back through a mystery for the ages and untangle clues within my family's origin story, which is morphed like a game of telephone through the generations.

Joelle Monique is down to get down No matter what's between your legs Tomorrow morning you could be making an X Joelle Monique is down to get down

Oh yeah Joelle Monique is down to get down And there's the Joelle song, thank you, Daniel, for playing that. Alright, Joelle, let's go to letters. Alright, Daniel. Okay, everybody ready? Yeah. Hi, my name is Jeff Richmond from Columbia, Maryland,

and I'm calling in to talk about how I love the episode, My New Girl Bro, and I'll make this very quick, but there are four reasons why I really like this episode. I do like that we still get to see the funny but heartfelt dynamic relationship between JD and Turk. I really do think it's rare in life to have such a close friend. And at the end of the episode, Dr. Cox told Turk

how rare it was to be able to work with your best friend. And that to me meant a lot because having friends at work makes the day so much better. The second thing is, is that I love that Dr. Cox treats Lucy the same way that he treated JD during the entire series. That line about the dumb shadow was extremely funny and it really honors the core of the show

and the relationship between JD and Dr. Cox and also how they're able to transfer that relationship to Dr. Cox and Lucy as well. Third, how Lucy looks up to Dr. Reed. This episode really celebrates strong, powerful and professional women working in a traditionally male dominated field. And I think this entire episode did a great job with this,

but specifically, you know, we were able to see the point of view from a young lady, looking up to an older female in the same profession with more experience in that industry. And as I rewatched this season, you know, when I watched it first, I was single with no kids, and now I have two young children and a wife, and I was able to kind of see how my wife was able to

make changes in her life and her professional career as we started having children. So I was able to relate to that a lot. And then finally, I think one of the best gags of the entire show, that's right, I said it, when at the very end Cole says, you suck Zimmerman. I think that whole joke about there being class rankings and ended up being the ranks based

on their alphabetical last name. And his last name was AA Aronson. And that bit right there, I think is extremely funny. And thank you. Those are my quick tidbits. Thank you, Jeff. Jeff, okay. Jeff, I like you and you sound like a nice man.

I just don't agree with you. There you go. But you know, he made some good points. Yeah. Yeah, but they're points about the old show though. All of the points are talking about how this show reminds him of the old show. Yeah, you can still see her longing for the original.

I think Joelle, I think Joelle like asked someone in her building who's a nice person to watch episode six and be like, do me a favor. We can't get anyone to say Jeff. Jeff, Jeff, remember when I watched Jeff, remember when I watched your cat? Jeff, Jeff did write it about another episode and I said, Hey, would you like to say something nice about episode six? And he's so kindly sent in his voicemail.

So we appreciate you, Jeff. Jeff, we appreciate you. We totally appreciate you. The fact that anyone can find- We needed you, Jeff. We needed you, Jeff. We needed you. The fact that anyone can find-

Help us, Jeff Richmond. You're our only hope. Help us, Jeff Richmond. I like this, Zach. Yeah, dig him a system. Dig him a system. Yeah, oh God, I'm gonna fucking cum. Oh God. Yes, dig a system. Dig a system. Yeah. Oh, God, I'm going to fucking come. Oh, God.

Yeah, digging down on that. Oh, my God. We have one more voicemail from. That's how easy it is to get you to come. I could fucking do that shit so easy. Yoda, Yoda. Come on, baby. Dig a ball. Dig a ball.

You got this. You got this. You're being disturbed by what's happening right now. Ewokies. You got this. You're deeply disturbed by what's happening right now. Iwaki's. Okay. Yub nub, itchicky, why why celebrate the life. That's a leg kicking out, Donald. Wow. Audience, the Iwaki song made his leg kick out.

So, I'm going to text Casey some techniques. It's Halleluktena, first of all. Zach, I love you. I'm gonna sing Casey the song so she knows what to do next round. Next time y'all have a fight and you get ignored for three days, just sing Iwaki's. Just say to her, you don't even have to get ignored

for three days. And when he whips out his penis, you don't even have to touch it. Just go, yub nub. Yub nub, chicky w why why? Celebrate the life. Yub nuke. Yub nuke. Halleluktena.

Yub nuke. Yub nuke. All right, play this fucking thing. You ready for the next one? This is from Tamika, the teacher. Oh, we love Tamika. Tamika. Could have been a surprise.

All right, here it is. Yeah. Hi, everybody. This is Tamika. Thank you for inviting me back. For episode two, I don't know if you remember, I did the highlights and lowlights of that episode. We remember, Tamika. I did what's working and what's not working. I'm not sure if you heard that because I don't think I got it to Joelle in time.

But for episode six, I'm going to do what I noticed and what I wonder. So what I noticed as I was watching this is that I'm still laughing as I'm watching this episode. So that means the writing is still working. And I'm going to do what I noticed and what I wonder. So what I noticed as I was watching this is that I'm still laughing as I'm watching this episode. So that means the writing is still working.

And I'm going to do what I noticed and what I wonder. So what I noticed as I was watching this is that I'm still laughing as I'm watching this episode. So that means the writing is still working. And I'm going to do what I noticed and what I wonder. So what I noticed as I was watching this is that I'm still laughing as I'm watching this episode. So that means the writing is still working. And I'm going to do what I noticed and what I wonder. So what I noticed as I was watching this is that I'm still laughing as I'm watching this episode.

So that means the writing is still working. And I think specifically what's working is those moments of unpredictable humor. I'm thinking about early in the episode when Elliot, who looked beautiful, is talking to Turk and goes, he misses you too. And Turk turns to the side and you hear the, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.

Could not have predicted that was coming, that made me laugh. When Lucy's telling the story about how her sister has to have sex with her fiance for the first time, I was just sitting there listening, and then she dropped the, in case the stripper got her pregnant, could not have

predicted that. Had Denise started her rant toward Cole with I'm going to get a sock and put nickels in it, I would have known she was going to end it with beating him with it because I have brothers like I know how that goes. So it was unpredictable and funny for me when she started out with a jar and then still ended up with beating him with it. So I think it's those unpredictable moments that are really still making me laugh. So good on paper for sure. So what I wonder since something still isn't quite right is the first thing I wonder is if med school was the right setting, watching people learn to do things

isn't that exciting. Watching people do the damn thing is way more fun. I think about like, and I haven't seen Rocky, like the way dudes have seen Rocky, but I feel like we don't spend a whole lot of time watching him get ready to fight. We spend a ton of time watching him fight. And so I think we don't want to spend a whole lot of time

watching these kids learn to doctor. We want to watch these kids doctor just like we did with the first group of characters. And then I also wonder who the target audience was. I just want to also point out that I could recognize med school was a way to keep some of the original players engaged while bringing in some new people. But I think it could have been fine just to have them of the original players engaged while bringing in some new people. But I think it could have been fine just to have them be the next crop of residents coming into the hospital

and having the existing characters be doctors in that hospital who were truly doing cameos. Cause let's face it, y'all are not doing cameos. Target audience. I'm wondering who the target audience is because the existing audience, those existing fans, we had been watching that show for like six, seven, eight years. We were well past college age, I think.

And college kids aren't that exciting to watch unless you're in college, maybe if you're in high school. So I don't know. I'm curious about who the target was, not you, but who the target was considering that and considering that it was set in med school. I wonder what the audience investment would have been if Denise or Drew had been the main character because I know I have found myself wondering what was going on in their head. What would their voiceover have been?

I don't really care what Lucy's voiceovers are. I don't know why. I just don't. I do have to give some credit to Cole. I got to give credit where credit's due. He was funny for like 2.5 seconds. It was when Drew was late to I guess rounds. I don't know and he goes nice of you to join us Drew to call Cox's attention to it and

then Cox says something and he goes optional and right there you can see the whole switch where like his eyes droop and his voice changes to that like oh bro I gotta go you know he's now like that late 90s limp biscuit fan bro and I know you're probably waiting for me to say no shade but I'm not gonna say it that was shady and I meant it but he's being he's so predictable when that's his delivery and when he's in that mode and predictable is just not funny. And I wish someone had given him that note. So those are all of the things that I wonder.

And I wonder if those things were different, if maybe there would have been some chemistry between what was, what was good on paper and what was going on on the screen and we could have gotten some more seasons. So that's it from me. Let me know your thoughts and thank you for the shout out the other week. My mother is convinced I'm famous. Bye. Well, I really appreciate you, Tamika. Very nice analysis from Tamika. I really like the way she puts time and effort. Go ahead. She was wrong about Rocky. There's a lot of training in Rocky. Completely wrong about Rocky. Rocky is the ultimate movie of training is the hype.

That's the hype before.

That shit is hype music for a reason. Cause you about to run up some motherfucking steps. You about to beat the shit out of some fucking beef. What about Rocky IV when they're showing the difference between- Well, you gotta do it in Russia. Now you gotta do it in Russia, Rocky. Now you gotta do it in Russia.

Gotta flip tires. First you had to do it in Philadelphia, in the Philadelphia hood. Then fucking Paolo was like, nah, fuck that. We going to LA and you had to do it with the brothers. And then to beat Mr. T, then you had to do it in Russia, Rocky, you had to do it in Russia. And you had to train there too.

So I'm just saying. All right. Well, thank you, Tamika. I did like what you said. I didn't know what she was on with the jars thing. Is she mistaking another episode? No, so in the scene where Cole says some shit and Turks says, I can't right now,

Denise, will you handle this? She says, absolutely. She goes, we're gonna take all of your little dumb things that you say, we're gonna put put it in a jar, a nice big jar. And we're going to fill that little jar up with all of your dumb things. And when that jar is filled, I'm going to take it and I'm going to beat you over the head with it, pretty much.

I must have blocked that out. All right. Thank you, Tamika. Thank you, Jeff. That was really great. Thank you for helping us find those awesome calls. Chatter. Audience, thank you so much for tuning in.

We really appreciate you spending a little bit of time with us. If you get in a fight with your partner, we don't endorse just taking out your penis. It depends on how long y'all been together for. It depends, but we do want to, we do have anecdotal information that for some couples it does work. Listen, my wife gets the joke, she leans in with it.

We fight over dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb shit. And we don't fight over real shit because there's we don't argue about that stuff for some reason we fight over things that are I Can't believe we just had an argument and said I want to get divorced over this dumb shit you know, I mean like well, I don't know I don't know about you guys and how you are with your partners, but You know, I know you're gonna find trying I Hey look, I know you're going to find trying. Hey, look, I, it works for us. And thank God, she, and thank God she freaking gets me. My only recommendation at all and take it from someone who's not in a relationship.

So I don't really have any fucking leg to stand on. Would be that maybe you wouldn't do the full three days of ignoring each other but suck it up and be like I'm sorry, sooner. Where's the fun in that though? You know what I mean? The fun? I hate being in a silent treatment with anyone in my life. There's no... we're... it doesn't work that way. I wish it would. I wish it did work that way. Um, but you gotta be in your feelings also, man.

I gotta let my wife have her time to be angry with me. I don't want to try and, you know what I mean? This is, this is shit is forever. You know what I mean? So if she's going to be angry with me for a day, I would, I want to allow her to have that shit. Fuck it. You want to be mad at me, be mad at me. And when you do have some shit to say, you're going to say that shit and we're going to argue

and we're going to fight about that shit, but we're also going to make love and we're going to make up. You know what I mean? This is forever. This isn't, you know what I mean? She said something that's true. We've yet to have a fight and I hope we never have a fight about some bullshit That that's gonna that's a real threat to our marriage. We fight about Dumb shit like that's my sock. Yes. Oh fucking what you know what I mean? Like you know what I mean? Like

That's dumb shit. That doesn't that's not gonna that's not gonna destroy What I hope it doesn't destroy what we have I hope our marriage is stronger than that I don't want to fucking jinx it. Anyway, my point is You know to each his own you guys have a thing that works. That's what we hear and uh And uh, we appreciate you being so candid with us and that's our show. Um Kind of sad Do or do not.

There is no try. I whipped out my penis and said that before too. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Canada who loved to hate, I said, here's a story that we all should know.
