Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, girlfriends. It's me, Carol Fisher, back with another season of the global number one podcast The Girlfriends. Last time we investigated the murder of Gail Katz.

Starting point is 00:01:34 The Black Effect presents Family Therapy, and I'm your host, Elliot Conning. Jay is the woman in this dynamic who is currently co-parenting two young boys with her former partner, David. David, he is a leader. He just don't want to leave me. Well, how do you lead a woman?
Starting point is 00:01:48 How do you lead in a relationship? Like, what's the blue part? David, you just asked the most important question. Listen to Family Therapy on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Listen, man, I'm sorry it took so long. Yes, why did it take so long?
Starting point is 00:02:09 First of all, you had a dead mouse. I had a dead mouse. And listen audience, this is your public service announcement. To make sure you charge your mouse. Because you might be going to do a podcast and your mouse is dead and you gotta tell your friends, hang on a second, you gotta charge my mouse. Gotta charge that mouse. But that took all of a minute and 30 seconds to turn. Why did you take nine minutes?
Starting point is 00:02:28 So my daughter, for her birthday, I bought her some DJ equipment. And so in order to use said DJ equipment, she stole my laptop and all of its devices to connect it. I see. And so I had to call my wife just now. I devices to connect it. I see. And so I had to call my wife just now. I had to call my wife just now and be like, hey, look, where's her shit at? Because a lot of my connections are still plugged into her stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:53 And she was like, it's here. And so that's why it took nine minutes. It took me eight minutes to realize I needed to call my wife. And then right after that, I was, I'm here. And then what, how many of those nine minutes were you pulling bong hits, Donald? Zero. So I've only pulled one bong hit today, and that was early this morning. Oh, Mazel tov. Was it for breakfast, Donald? It was not for breakfast.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It was just like the wakeys. It was just for the wakeys. Oh, the wakeys. There you go. I worked out today. Oh, nice. Good for you. Not only did I work out today, I worked out to exhaustion to the point where I almost threw up in front of my trainer. Good for you. Not only did I work out today, I worked out to exhaustion to the point where I almost threw up in front of my trainer. Good for you. Now you feel good. You feel, you feel like,
Starting point is 00:03:31 no, I feel like shit right now. You want to give yourself a pat on the back for me. I do feel mentally, mentally, I feel like I've accomplished it. I did what I said I was going to do. Amen. And I'll be back tomorrow. Amen. I got on the treadmill right before this. I didn't want to get on the, do you think I wanted to do. Amen. And I'll be back tomorrow. Amen. I got on the treadmill right before this. I didn't want to get on the, do you think I wanted to get on the treadmill? I didn't, but I did it because I promised myself, Donald.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah. I promised myself that self and I we're gonna get 10,000 steps a day. So self and I needed to get on the treadmill and wash some shark tanks. You know, I gotta tell you, I'm scared to make deals with myself. Cause once you make a deal with yourself,
Starting point is 00:04:06 you can't break it, right? Like that's the ultimate. No, you gotta keep your word. You gotta honor your word. If you can't keep your word to yourself, then what the fuck, bro? Word is bond, Donald. Write that down.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Word is bond. Heard that a few times before. Yeah. You've heard it because I'm the one who made it up. Oh, did you? Yeah. You know, it did come from Newark. Did it? Yeah. Word is, it did come from Newark. Did it?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah. Word is Bond is a New Jersey slang. Oh, really? From back in the day. I just assumed it was like a hip hop like saying. Nah, it's a New Jersey slang from back in the day. Okay. Word is Bond, y'all.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And it's made its way. It's a Garden State slang. Yeah, I like that. Listen, it's been 20 years since I made the movie Garden State. Did you know that? It just means we're old, bro. 20 years.
Starting point is 00:04:52 We're talking about putting on a, Carey Brothers had this idea to put on a 20th anniversary, 20th anniversary year concert for charity, where we get as many of the bands together as possible and put on a show. What do you think of that? That'd be cool.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah, we'll have a meeting today about it. Like a Live Aid type situation? Well, not as big as Live Aid, but somewhere in LA, like ideally like the Greek or maybe even the Hollywood Bowl. I don't know how many, if we'd sell Hollywood Bowl amount of tickets, but like, you know, get it, if you got the whole,
Starting point is 00:05:22 I mean, I don't know if we'd get Paul Simon, but maybe you'd get a lot of those bands together and artists together. I mean, I would try. I mean, it's worth trying. Do you think you could give Frodo back together? Whatever their names is? Let go, let go. That's Froo Froo. Frodo is, I believe a character from Lord of the Rings. I mean, my point is that just like putting the soundtrack together, once you get one, you'd start to get the other.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Like if the shins say yes, and then, you know, Imogen Heap says yes, and then Colin Hay says yes, little by little people start to say yes, you never know. And if you put the whole thing together except Coldplay, and then you go, Chris, everybody's coming but you, please, you never know. You get Chris to do one song, you've crushed. Everybody else has to-
Starting point is 00:06:11 Well, it's all for charity. He's a very charitable fellow. Yeah, everybody else has to do a set. This motherfucker only needs to do one song. Well, and obviously- We're gonna play one song and one song only. Let's say obviously, well, obviously Nick Drake is passed away and obviously it and obviously Paul Simon feels like the
Starting point is 00:06:26 biggest long shot. So you can have really cool artists do covers of their songs, right? That'd be cool. Get Charlotte to perform. Yeah, but I mean, I don't know, between the people I know and the people Kerry knows and the people Bill and Kristen know, I feel like, I don't know, it could be huge. And it'd all be for an amazing charity. We'd all be for good and it would be nostalgic.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Take my money, I'm in. Well, you'd definitely be there. I'd get in for free though, right? No, you'd be giving money to the charity. You don't get comped if it's for charity. Word? Yeah, word is bond. Pfft.
Starting point is 00:07:04 See how we brought that around audience? Yeah, see that's mastery. Hey, Donald, there is a show on Netflix that you don't watch things. It's called Baby Reindeer. Wait a second. Have you all watched Baby Reindeer? Is this a real show? It's a real show and it's a real story and it's the craziest fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Is it follow a baby reindeer? It has nothing to do with a baby reindeer. Hold on one second. This is my, where are you going? Oh god what is he doing? This is when the bong hit comes in. Daniel can you hear that man talking in the background? Not on zoom but maybe in the mic. I can't tell. Okay. You might hear some birds Daniel don't yell at me I can't I can't close my might hear some birds, Daniel. Don't yell at me. I can't. I can't close my doors. It's too hot.
Starting point is 00:07:48 It's okay. I get it. The audience, Daniel scolds us when he hears birds. He wants you to have such a clean track that there'd be no birds on the soundtrack. But we want you to know that Donald and I have to open our windows so you're going to hear birds. Yeah, it's too hot. I think it adds a nice element to the podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's like we're doing in a garden. Sounds natural. It's very garden-esque. Imagine, if it helps you, imagine Donald and I sitting in a beautiful garden with two microphones doing this podcast for you, which we kind of are. He's in his house with a garden outside and I'm in the garden outside mine.
Starting point is 00:08:24 That's true. We're just not together with our with my legs up. And we're not literally sitting in our garden. Anyway, baby reindeer, you guys. Donald, I'll just tell you this since you're not going to watch it. An insane story happened to this comedian that involved a stalker. And the story is so fucking nuts I couldn't begin to describe it other than the main thing being he has an insane stalker. And he decides to not only write the story but then star in the story as a reenactment.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And Baby Reindeer is a series on Netflix. I think it's the number one show on Netflix right now. That's how popular it is. Where this guy, and he's so talented as an actor. I had to Google it. Was this really the guy that this happened to? And it is, it's his story, he wrote it, he stars in it,
Starting point is 00:09:11 and he reenacts the insane thing that happened to him. And I can't more highly recommend anything. Right, Joelle? You're with me. It's incredibly well-written and potentially horrifying. I have a number of friends who are survivors of Stalkers. He said the show is like scary accurate and feel like the creators just very brave to go through all of this again, put himself through a lot of the trauma that he survived.
Starting point is 00:09:39 The actress who plays a stalker in the show gave a statement that like while they were on set shooting, she went to check in on her co-star, the creator, just be like, Hey, okay. He's like, sorry, it's like I'm spending time with her right now. And it's really hard. She's an incredible actress, by the way, the woman who plays the stalker. Did he actually hang out with his stalker or was the stalker just... Yes, the stalker, I don't want to spoil too much, but yes, she's very, very, very entwined in his life.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And because at times he feels bad for her, he wrestles with how to handle it. But anyway, it's a very traumatic story, but it's incredibly told. And it's just, you know, this gentleman and the woman who plays the stalker are such phenomenal actors that it's hard to believe that it's his story and he wrote it.
Starting point is 00:10:25 So anyway, audience, that is my Zach Braff streaming pick of the week. Do you find that it's so hard, like some of the stories that we're seeing now, in order for the audience to believe such insane situations, it has to be based on a true story first. You know what I mean? Like a lot of things now.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Like if I told that story, the story that you're talking about, without it really happening to somebody, people will be like, I don't buy it. There's no way. There's no freaking way. Well, you might, you might, but the whole time, you're right, you might,
Starting point is 00:10:59 but the whole time you're watching this, you're thinking two things. One, holy shit, this happened to this person. And B, holy shit, this guy is who it happened to and he's such a good actor that he's reliving the whole experience. I mean, it's kind of like a documentary really, but it's told through a giant reenactment.
Starting point is 00:11:18 There's never a moment of documentary footage. It's all reenactment of this insane story that happened to him. I've never seen anything like it, right, Jewel? It's kind of like, it's never, I've never seen someone do something like this. No, I can't recall someone. I'm sure, I'm sure in somewhere deep in the indie,
Starting point is 00:11:37 like film history, someone has taken on the monumental task of being like, this actually happened to me and I put myself back on and I cast the people that were around me. Like the, it's like as a psychological experiment, it's kind of mind breaking to be like, how did you do this? And now for it to get all of this acclaim and to be constantly talking about it and reliving it,
Starting point is 00:11:59 like, I don't know. But it also seems to be helping a lot of people, both people who've, I've been victims of stalkers and people who've committed acts of stalking, I guess, to sort of like talk about like, why does this happen and how do you handle something like this? And as such a human way, I think a lot of people's reaction is just, oh, like call the police and leave them alone.
Starting point is 00:12:19 But there isn't like an actual person interacting with this crazy. It's like, it's a real mind bender to think about after watching. I never want to be on any side of that. I never want to be stalked and I never want to be a stalker. Well, I feel like sometimes you stalk me, Donald.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah, but that's only because I go through your emails every now and then, but like, for real. I never get to, unfortunately I never really get to see you. Donald and I participated in a Zoom call with the surgeon and his best friend because once a year, Jake Tapper asked us to do this charity, all the money goes to Wounded Warriors.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And we had these, Donald and I want to have them on the podcast because they were such interesting guys. One's an orthopedic surgeon and the other is his best friend. I forgot what he does, Donald. What does he do? He's like a video editor. Is he? I think he's a tech guy.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Oh, I thought it was a video. I don't know what he does. He never really got clear. But they reminded us a lot of ourselves because they were very similar to us. Yeah, very similar. Anyway, my point was that I got to hang out with Donald outside of this podcast,
Starting point is 00:13:20 which I never do because between his family and his kids basketball and his agoraphobia, I just never see him. So it was nice to see Donald outside of the podcast briefly as we talked to these nice fellows. I'm glad you enjoyed. You know it'd be funny if I told you that it was, if I told you like, hey man, we have that charity Zoom
Starting point is 00:13:41 and you're like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah. And then you got on, I was like, just kidding, just us. That would have been awesome. I'd be like, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. And then you got on, I was like, just kidding. Just us. That would have been awesome. I'd be like, oh man, you tricked me, but good. Can't get him on the phone, Joel. Doesn't text me back. He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I text you back, that's not true. I send you memes and you don't even ha ha. You can't even heart the memes. I did heart the memes. I laughed at the memes. I reposted it. Is that what I did? No, what you do is you just send me your memes.
Starting point is 00:14:05 You don't give any hearts or ha ha's. You have to acknowledge the memes, Donald. That's essential. I need to. Joelle, I want to acknowledge you. Joelle is a great meme recipient. Joelle will, cause I send them to Joelle too.
Starting point is 00:14:17 And she will either heart or comment sometimes. She'll be like, oh my God, that is so true. Or I know a person just like this. Donald, you should be more like Joelle. You don't ever give any reception to my memes. Yo, listen, did you do it through the DMs? Yeah, I went down to the DMs. You put it down in the DMs?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Yeah, all you do is you just reply with your own shit. You don't go, ha ha, that guy's crazy. I'm giving you examples of things you can write. I don't know what to write in DMs anymore, man. I just don't know what to write because people, like I'll send a meme and somebody will be like, that's inappropriate. And I'm like, whoa, my bad.
Starting point is 00:14:54 So I don't know what to, I don't know what to. Wait, you send private, you DM someone private or you put it on public? What do you mean? When you say, when someone, you're saying a stranger or you send it to a friend and they're like, it's inappropriate. A friend. And I'll be like, hey be like oh, yeah, you gotta pick who you send your memes to Are you learning at 50 years old that you shouldn't necessarily contact people when you're super baked
Starting point is 00:15:22 I've learned that one really contact people when you're super baked? I've learned that one, drinking an I, at a certain point, it gotta stop, dude. Like at a certain point, I get to a level where I'm nice at first and then all of a sudden it becomes, I'm gonna fucking kill you. Yeah, alcohol, not even once. Not even once.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And then now with the weed, I'm at the point now where it's like, I don't wanna do that shit all day long, man, I like the taste point now where it's like, I don't wanna do that shit all day long, man. I like the taste of it and stuff like that. I don't need to feel like I'm not even here all day long. Well, we can make that a sound button for you and I can play it for you once an episode if you want, just to help encourage you. Well, it hasn't been since this,
Starting point is 00:16:05 it's been since this morning. Can you tell? So you're going on a weed break and it began after this morning? After this morning. Oh boy. After I woke up and had my little morning hello. Your morning toot.
Starting point is 00:16:22 My morning hello. Yeah, just a little wake up. Dr. Acula. Dr. Acula. We should probably talk about scrubs. I don't want to. We should count in. Five, six, seven, eight.

Starting point is 00:16:52 So gather round to hear our Gather round to hear our Scrubs rewatch show with Zach and Dono I wanted to start off this episode, where are you going? You're out, you dropping your mic and leaving? Why did you bring them with you? Okay, they're okay. Cause he took a morning bong hit.
Starting point is 00:17:12 You know, I looked on Scrubs Wiki about this episode and I guess there's a site called TV.com that rates episodes. I don't never heard of this before. And Scrubs Wiki's never mentioned it before. But it said that this episode outside of I think the clip show, which would understand it would be the lowest because it's a clip show of all Scrubs episodes, this was the lowest rated of all the Scrubs episodes. It was just okay. I'm going to say that. And I want to say that I don't And I want, and I wanted to say that I don't, I don't never been to tv.com
Starting point is 00:17:44 and I don't know any of their users, but I agree. Oof. Oof. It was boring, I'll say that. It was so boring and it wasn't about any, I mean, it was like, it's like, what is it about? And what the fuck? I mean, a was like, it's like, what is it about? And what the fuck? I mean, a main storyline of this episode
Starting point is 00:18:07 is that the security guard, that everyone has a key to the security guard's golf cart and they're all stealing it. And those guys are like clowns. They're like the most preposterously. Buffoonish. Yeah. Like crux of that gag has potential to work. Trying to convince us in a single episode that Cole's actually in love with Lucy and
Starting point is 00:18:28 is not a complete douche is just such a feat. I was like, I cannot believe this show is trying to pull off in this one. I don't buy anything from this A storyline at all. So that was, I was about to ask you guys, could you tell me which storyline was the A, B and C storyline? I assume Lucy's. a storyline at all. So that was, I was about to ask you guys, could you tell me which storyline was the A, B and C storyline? I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I assume Lucy's, but. Well, yeah, I assume Lucy and Cole, right? So well, the theme they introduce right off the bat is that there's two, there's multiple, no, the theme is people are coupling up. Yeah, that's right. And the couples are Cole and Lucy, Drew and Denise and Turk and Dr. Cox. So that's the sort of premise they tried to sit up
Starting point is 00:19:12 for this episode, Our Couples. It's called Our Couples for God's sakes. Oh, by the way, did the titles change to Our once I left? The season nine, the whole thing's been Our. Oh, really? Okay, I didn't know that. There's some trivia that was not mentioned I left? The season nine has the whole thing's been R. Oh, really? Okay. I didn't know that. There's some trivia that that was not mentioned on Scrubs Wiki.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Lucy and Cole are hooking up. Lucy has quite a libido, I should say. She's... She likes to fuck. Yeah. That's another way to put that. That's the right way to put it. Because it's the truth.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Lucy seems very down to clown. She's down to clown. She is on her mind a lot. Yes. That song should have been about her. Lucy is down to get down. Get down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 That's true. Lucy. She's down. And she really likes banging Cole. I mean, he must be great in the sack because she really, really likes him. What we learned in this episode, she really likes him. He does it right. She turns her horses around before they have sex
Starting point is 00:20:13 in her dorm room. She doesn't want any of her horses watching them have sex. But they have so much sex that she should just leave the horses turned away. She needs to get rid of the horses. It's time to get rid of the horses, and if that's the case. You need to make a choice. You needs to get rid of the horses. It's time to get rid of the horses. And if that's the case, you need to make a choice.
Starting point is 00:20:27 You need to make a choice, Lucy. What's it going to be? Is it going to be the horses or is it going to be the sex? Oh, well, it just seems to me they have so much sex that she's wasting a lot of her her hours in a day turning those horses back around. She should just leave them facing the wall. It opens up every episode. Yeah, every episode ends with them having sex. With them banging.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Do you think that's because they're thinking like, okay, Scrubb's med school, we need to make it sexy, we're gonna hire these young sexy people, like every episode should open with two sexy people having sex. But they're not, it's not like we're seeing ass cheek or shoulder, you know, we're not even seeing shoulder really.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Well, it's not that kind of show, you're not meant to see like ass cheeks clapping. So how is that, I just don't understand how that's sexy then, you know what we're not even seeing shoulder really. Well, it's not that kind of show, you're not meant to see like ass cheeks. So how is that, I just don't understand how that's sexy then, you know what I mean, sexy is a visual thing. Well, people still get titillated when they see people in bed topless together. Oh, okay. If you're flipping channels and you're like,
Starting point is 00:21:17 okay, there's Frazier, there's, whoa, there's two sexy people in bed naked, what is this? I'm just asking the question. I mean, that's obviously gonna trigger me, I'm sexy people in bed naked. What is this? I'm just asking the question. That's obviously gonna trigger me. I'm gonna turn in to watch. We all know me. There's not one person out there that's not like, of course Donald watches that.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I'm listening to this. This is probably on my mind because Carrie Brothers turned me on to this amazing audio book I recommend to y'all. The book is, Leave the Gun, Take the Canoli and it's the whole story of the making of The Godfather by Mark Seal. And it's just incredible if you love behind the scenes movie making tales. But rather than read the book, Kerry said the guy who reads the book on tape is really good, so listen to it. And I've been listening to it. It's so amazing. I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I highly, highly recommend it. I put it on every time in the it. And I've been listening to it. It's so amazing. I love it. I highly, highly recommend it. I put it on every time in the car. But I think I was thinking about this because Paramount and the producers wanted Mario Puzo, the author of the novel who was writing the first draft of the screenplay to open the movie with sex. I guess there's a lot of more sex, I think,
Starting point is 00:22:21 in the novel than is in the film. When Coppola finally got his hands on rewriting it, he made the masterpiece of a screenplay that it is, but there was pressure before Coppola came on to have it be, to open with sex and have a lot more sex. And so when Coppola first got it, it was the movie open with Kay and Michael having sex. And Coppola was like, what?
Starting point is 00:22:43 This is not how this movie is gonna open. But maybe that's why that came to my brain first. Sorry, that was a long winded way of saying people like to open their projects with sex. Wow. But anyway, we are correct, I think, in that many of these Scrubs med school episodes open with sex.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I'm sure Scrubs back in the day we opened with sex, but we had like nine, eight seasons of, you know what I mean? And it wasn't every episode, but this one seems like every episode is just sex open with sex. Yeah. And Lucy and Cole, Lucy and Cole in particular. We don't see I've yet to we haven't seen Denise and Drew do it. They hook up a lot, but the but but we don't open the show with them naked. Have we seen them in a bed? Have we seen them?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah, we've seen them like putting their clothes back on. Because they started off as just hooking up and then they're like surprised we're in a relationship. All right, Turk and Dr. Cox, they're doing a thing called hands on a coma patient. They're competing again. They're competing. That's their thing.
Starting point is 00:23:47 For those of you who don't remember, there was a movie, a documentary that's amazing called Hands on a Hard Body. You remember that, Donald? No. It was a competition at a car dealership and they made a documentary about it. And the competition was that they would select
Starting point is 00:24:03 a group of people and they'd put their hands on the truck. It was a pickup truck, I believe. And the last person standing with both hands on the truck won the truck. And so it goes on for days and days and days. And they made a documentary about it. It's really good. I highly recommend it.
Starting point is 00:24:21 But this must have been around the time it came out because we're doing a hands on a coma patient joke. I didn't give two shits about their competition. I'm gonna keep it 100 with y'all right now. Look, man, these motherfuckers are adults now and they're playing like, Turk gets all bent out of shape and Cox is all freaking, he's, it's almost like he,
Starting point is 00:24:42 I don't know, man, like if you're going to battle somebody, battle other people, these two shouldn't be battling right now, but they don't have anything to write about. So they're like, let's write that these two battle. You know what I mean? And also you need a storyline for Turk. That's the conundrum. You get rid of JD and you get rid of Carla. What, you know, they had to figure out a storyline for you. They had nothing to write for me. That's why I said. Well, you didn't ever have a relationship really with Cox in one through eight. No, we had a competitive relationship, but it wasn't,
Starting point is 00:25:10 But not, you didn't have a lot of Cox storylines, right? No, no, because he wasn't my mentor. You know what I mean? He was your mentor. You had Dr. Winn. Yeah, so it doesn't make sense. Like all of a sudden they're hanging out. They're kind of, like it's the Kelso role. Like all of a sudden they're hanging out. They're kind of but like it's the Kelso role like all of a sudden Turk has become
Starting point is 00:25:28 somewhat of the Kelso role Where their friends but no you're not each other. Yeah Kelso now. Oh, you mean the fact that they have ribs each other. Yeah All right. So there's this whole set piece where they're gonna race Turk uses a fake grandson another doctor to try and distract Cox and Cox and list Todd to grab Turk or Rob only got the dog. How do you bring Rob Mastro to set and only have him do that joke? Rocking a hard place five. It was so bad.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Only the only one laugh I had in this whole episode. I had one left too. And I know what your laugh was. Are you talking, is this cold speaking or Rahim? Or Dishon, that's the only laugh I had and I knew you were gonna laugh at that shit, too I laughed so hard at that shit I laughed so hard at that shit. I laughed so- It was the wildest, most inappropriate shit.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I laughed so hard at that. I knew that Donald would laugh at that shit. By the way, I had to rewind it, cause like, did I hear that right? Yeah. Oh God, yeah. And you let, you know, you try to make me, when we have sex roleplay as black guys, now is this Cole speaking or Deshawn?
Starting point is 00:26:38 Right then and there I was like, but right then and there you realize, holy shit, she wants sex now. Cause if it's Deshawn, she's down the fuck. Is this Dashaun? Cause let's go. She said that so straight. She was like, is this Cole speaking or Dashaun?
Starting point is 00:27:00 I laughed at that shit so hard. Part of me was like, I shouldn't be laughing at this. That's not, this is like's uh, this is like a little This is like a little like not funny, but I laugh still Um, I thought it was funny. I mean, yeah, it's totally funny. And like it's funny in a racist way. I Don't know. I mean you tell me I guess if it's I guess Fuck is walking around the hospital speaking slang out of his mind Everything is yo a B a yo, yo, Cohen
Starting point is 00:27:33 She tells him all the shit he can't say which are all Fucking it's all fucking slang come coming from the black community pretty much and it's like wait a second Hold up. Not only is he not allowed to say this, but when you fantasize about fucking him, he's a black dude named Deshaun? Only sometimes. I think only sometimes. So part of it, like, as I'm laughing, I was like, this is the racist shit I've ever laughed at in my life.
Starting point is 00:27:55 One of the most racist moments. But not really. But you know, Prentice Penny wrote this episode, Donald. Who's that? Prentice Penny later becomes a showrunner for Insecure. For Insecure, that's right. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:07 It's funny. Well, it was written by an African-American. I don't know if that helps you at all. Yeah, but it's a one African-American and all white writers wrote. I have a feeling the African-American person probably wrote that joke. Well, yeah, because trying to make the white writers laugh. Is this Cole speaking? the white writers laugh. Oh no. Is this Cole speaking or Deshaun? All y'all know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Joelle, you can't even look at me. I'm dying. Yeah, you know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. That's why. We should have him on the show, Joelle. Oh, that would be awesome. We were trying to reach out to his folks. He's big time now though.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Yeah, he is. I know, but he might wanna talk about his scrub season nine experience. Okay, so then you guys race to, Turk and Cox have a race to a building. They encounter these security guards. He did, and then we learned that the white security guard says about the
Starting point is 00:29:06 black security guard, he did security for ER. He and Eric LaSalle go to the same church. Okay, we got to go back. What are we going to go back to? Well, the whole, I'm not sure if this is the B storyline or the C storyline. The whole storyline is about this damn cart. And how- The golf cart. Yeah, it's parked in front of the emergency entrance and Denise wants to move it and gets
Starting point is 00:29:34 reprimanded by the security guards for trying to move the cart out of the hazard zone. Right, they're very pissed off because that's their whole identity is the cart. And so she's like, bet, if that's your identity, I'm fucking with your identity. So her and Drew decide to mess with the security. They're going to go to war with the security guards over this golf cart and they have a zillion keys made and give them to everyone. So everyone is all sudden so excited to drive
Starting point is 00:30:03 the cart around. Everyone has access to the cart. And the crazy thing is that the security guards can't find the cart. Like, you know, they can't find the cart. Not only can they not find it, but they'll have their backs to it. And that shit zips by. Now, I don't know about y'all. I have yet to hear a golf cart that's quiet. I've been to Catalina. The island sounds like golf cart. Even the silent ones.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Right. Well, they are not, I mean, as broad as the show. They're buffoons. They're in a different show. So because you lost a bet to Cox, Turk has to say Dr. Cox is hella foxy. Dr. Cox is hella foxy. Dr. Cox is hella foxy. Cole was always late.
Starting point is 00:30:52 He went to SeaWorld and he swam with walruses. I mean, what the fuck? And then he didn't bring his slides to study group, so he gets kicked out of study group. It seems like everyone's mad at Cole at the end of the study group situation. No one likes Cole except Lucy. Just nobody likes him. Nobody likes Cole at all.
Starting point is 00:31:15 He's so inappropriate. And the only person who seems to like him is Lucy, who, you know, throughout the whole season so far, we think it's just cause he's handsome and she's having, you know, just the whole season so far, we think it's just because he's handsome and she's having, you know, just booty call sex with him. But throughout this, I guess, if there's any arc of this episode at all, it's that she realizes that she actually has feelings for him.
Starting point is 00:31:40 We meet Cox and Turk's patient named Art, who slings peanuts at the ball game. He's got a problem, I think with his shoulder, but when they do their examination, they realize he has a tumor. A very big tumor. A very big tumor, but because of his age and his condition, they're not sure if they should operate on him.
Starting point is 00:32:01 But Cox pushes Turk to operate. Yes But Cox pushes Turk to operate. Yes, Cox pushes Turk to operate because he says, listen, you're either gonna save him or he's gonna have- Six months to live. Six months to live and we should try. And so Cox pushes Turk to do the surgery. Dr. Cox, he is so foxy, you keep being forced to say that.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Around the hospital. Yes. In the trick candle sex situation. Where. Yeah. Let's go to break and when we come back, we're gonna talk about what is known as the trick candle sex situation. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:32:43 You haven't gone for a while. Hey, girlfriends. It's me, Carol Fisher. I'm so excited to tell you about the brand new series of The Girlfriends. In season one, we told you about the murder of Gail Katz at the hands of my ex-boyfriend Bob. At one point, a woman's torso washed up on Staten Island and was misidentified as Gail. She spent nine years in Gail's grave, and then she just disappeared. It's almost like it's become this moral obligation to find her. And that's what we're going to do,
Starting point is 00:33:18 find this missing girlfriend and tell her story with the help of some of your favorite girlfriends from season one, like my producer Anna oh my god my friend dr. Mindy Shapiro hi it's dr. Shapiro and I'd like to speak with the deputy medical examiner and of course Gail's sister Elaine Katz having no closure it kills you. Join us as we try to solve a 35-year-old cold case. It's not going to be easy,
Starting point is 00:33:53 but it's going to be one hell of a ride. What? I can't believe this. Listen to season two of The Girlfriends, Our Lost Sister on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Elliot Coney, and this is Family Therapy. My best hopes, I guess, identify the life that I want and work towards it.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I've never seen a man take care of my mother the way she needed to be taken care of. I get the impression that you don't feel like you've done everything right as a father. Is that true? That's true, and I'm not offended by that. Thank you for going through those things and thank you for overcoming them. Wow. Thank God for deliverance. Every time I have one of our sessions, our sessions be positive. It just keeps me going. I feel like my focus is redirected
Starting point is 00:34:47 in a different aspect of my life now. So, how'd we do today? We did good. The Black Effect presents Family Therapy. Listen now on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Tamika D. Mallory.

If you like to be informed and to expand your thoughts, listen to TMI on the Black Effect Podcast Network,
Starting point is 00:35:54 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. That's right. Alright. And we're back! That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, right. I wasn't paying attention and looking at the screen, so I thought it was like a scented candle.
Starting point is 00:36:17 And so when I looked up and it was a number two, and it was a birthday candle, I was a bit confused. Well, she says something like... Until the candle goes out. Then was a bit confused because she says something like a candle goes out. Then things last a while, man. Those don't the number candles left. Cole could go. Cole got that porn star situation. You tracked how long the number two candle would take to burn down? My man. Yeah. When she said it was when I looked down and it was a scented candle and I thought it was a scented candle, I thought it was a scented candle It made me look up like what?
Starting point is 00:36:47 Nobody can fuck as long as a candle That's a good I'm gonna need that for the soundboard down. Nobody can fuck as long as a candle is lit. Nobody nobody nobody Candle, yeah, you got a fucking that's how long I last. That's how long I last a Hanukkah candle, it was like, you gotta fuck it to this candle. That's how long I last. That's how long I last, a Hanukkah candle. You're 18.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Yeah. Wait, Donald, you're saying no one can last as long as a scented candle. That's impossible. Yeah. You are a- Well, I don't think anyone would like that. At a certain point, it's a law of diminishing returns. It's just like raw.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Everything's raw. Right. So are you more of a birthday candle, a Hanukkah candle, or a, what's your- Well, Hanukkah candles burn a little bit slower than- Yeah, Hanukkah candle, you're probably gonna get a half hour out of. Oh, I thought you got eight nights out of a Hanukkah candle.
Starting point is 00:37:44 No, no, no. Oh, I thought you got eight nights out of a Hanukkah candle. No, no, no. Oh, okay, okay. No, you light the Hanukkah candles each night of Hanukkah. And I would say, Daniel, you're a fellow Semite. I think they last about a half hour, right? I think a half hour sounds about right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:57 That's a good, that's a good, that's a good success. A birthday candle's too fast, a regular one. And you're saying this number two one would probably be a very long time. That shit goes all the way down. There's like a little fucking nub at the end too. That shit would go and go and go and go. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Well, I think it's, I think- But I don't know. I don't know. Cole and Lucy really enjoy their sex, so we don't know if maybe they purposefully take a long time. There might be some edging involved. Like a little edging, go on, I'm listening. You haven't gone for a while.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Okay. So many of your turns we just took. I like a little edging. Go on. You have been gone for a while. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Okay. Let's get back to the show. All right. So what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:39:06 They raced to Winston Hall. Cole's not in the mood for Star Trek. I jumped to Gurney. Holy shit. I jumped to fucking Gurney. I was in shape. Yeah, you were in shape. You look good.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I did. I fucking look in my eyes. There's no circles. There's no bags. None of that shit, man. What I wouldn't, what's the name of the surgeon that can get me back to that? Well, it's called you going to the gym.
Starting point is 00:39:32 I don't know, man. The wrinkles on my face, there weren't that many 10 years ago when this show was being made. Oh, well, you can have like, you know, you can have a laser skin peel. You could go do lasers and shit. Okay. I mean, your skin is wonderful, but you could you could do stuff. Do you moisturize your face? I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Yeah, I think the simplest thing you could do at our age is just put on moisturizer morning and night. I haven't used lotion in so long. Donald, what? Yeah. Is the call coming from inside the house? How do you not have any lotion? No, we have we have lotion. I just don't use that shit. I don't like the way it feels on my body. Is the call coming from inside the house? How do you not have any lotion? What's going on? We have lotion.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I just don't use that shit. I don't like the way it feels on my body. It's something new as I've gotten older. Lotion. But what about just a face cream, just to moisturize the morning and night? I don't like the way that shit feels on my face. It feels heavy for some reason.
Starting point is 00:40:18 You're using the wrong brands, buddy. Yeah, I will personally go over it. Joelle's gonna have an intervention with you. I am heavy. When I was younger, there was this lotion called Palmer's, right? And it was like a stick of cocoa butter, pretty much. And since then, they changed the formula
Starting point is 00:40:31 and it's not the same anymore. That was the closest thing to having some type of grease on my body where I'd be like, all right, I'm all right with it because it smells really good. So I'm gonna let this go. But there's very few lotions that I find that smell good. And then the unscented ones seem to freaking dry out really quick.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So it's like, what the fuck did I put that on for? You know what I mean? But I have a moisturizer, Donald, that I put on my face just morning and night. It goes away within, the feeling of anything moist on you goes away within 15 seconds. Right, but, so what I was talking about is lotion on my body and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:41:06 I just started talking about wrinkles, right? No doubt But you when we started talking about lotion and stuff I don't put I don't like to do that shit when I do do that I get When let's talk about face first when I do do when I do Apply do do lotion. I know I heard it. That's why I changed it. I know, I know. When I do apply moisturizer to my face, when I wake up, I have dark circles under my eyes for some reason. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Well, Joelle's gonna help you. Look at Joelle's skin. Wouldn't you like to have skin like that? Look at that. She has wonderful skin. This is time and effort and a lot of skin. First of all, thank you. This is so much effort.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Joelle, I would love to have your skin. Granted, you're younger than us, but man, you don't have a single wrinkle. Okay. So much effort. I would wear it like a, okay. Everyone called it. I would say for first of all, if you work for a skincare company and you want to send us products, so Donald and I can figure out what works. Yeah, absolutely. But also Donald also do I use first, it's really light, it won't clog your pores,
Starting point is 00:42:07 it keeps you like nourished throughout the day. Also, there's definitely a body lotion for you that's not going to, I feel, I know Casey's got something for you. I'm gonna text Casey after this. We're gonna figure it out. Well, Casey, I mean, we went down a rabbit hole, man, and we went and tried, like,
Starting point is 00:42:20 so we bought another form of cocoa butter lotion that was working really well, and they changed it. Everybody changes their fucking formula, man. And that's when it's like, wait a second, this don't smell the same. This smells different. That's what it really boils down to.
Starting point is 00:42:34 If I'm gonna put cake on me, like a shit ton of lotion on me, at least let it smell good so I don't feel like I'm walking around with a freaking body soup of slime. I'm not really- I'm texting you right now. I don't really with a freaking body soup of slime. I don't really care about your body lotion. I'm trying to help you because you said you were worried about your skin wrinkles.
Starting point is 00:42:51 So there's things you can do for your eyes and your wrinkles that'll at least help you. Dude, I was, look, I've gone through it all. I remember I was spending thousands of dollars on skincare at one point. And then I realized I don't need that shit right now You know, I mean get it when I need it. You know, I mean like I My whole life I've been told I have great skin you do but now you're 50, but now I'm 50 no doubt
Starting point is 00:43:15 But my whole life I've been told I have great skin and with that I have been you know In search for some reason to try to make it better. I don't know, but like, if it ain't broke, why fix? I just got you. I just, no doubt. I would like sustainability is a- Look at Joelle's skin. Look at Joelle's skin.
Starting point is 00:43:36 It's amazing. But Joelle is 22. That could be you. I love that. Let's just go with that. That's great. Joelle is 22. Joelle is 22 years old. great. Joelle is 22. Joelle is 22 years old.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah. Joelle is 22. All right. The most responsible 22 year old I've ever met in my life. Hey, there we go. We hired Joelle when she was 17. When she was 17 years old, she came up in here running this thing.
Starting point is 00:43:58 You like to whine about shit, but then you don't take action. Nah, I'm a bitch. Yeah. It's like, you can take, you're like, I'm pissed that I'm out of shape. All right, well then go work out. Nah, I don't bitch. Yeah. It's like, you can take, you're like, I'm pissed that I'm out of shape. All right, well then go work out. No, I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I'm pissed I got wrinkles. Put some fucking face lotion on. I don't want to. Yeah. We tried. We tried. No. So Lucy lies to Cole.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Lucy lies to Cole and tells him that he's not invited back, that she asked Drew. She tried, yeah. I tried. I asked Drew and Drew said, you know what? Nah. And Cole goes to Drew and says, yo, why didn't you let me back in the group? And Drew said, she never asked me, dude.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And so now Cole's back in the group because Lucy never communicated to Drew. Imagine dedicating this much screen time to that storyline, whether or not Cole is allowed back in the study group. Well, this was the way for them to- Did you see Colonel Doctor partying in the golf cart? Man, he was so excited to be in that golf cart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Like, why are these, there's like this moment where these old doctors are like, it's like they're on ecstasy or something, but they're so happy to be in the golf cart. Yeah. Why do they love the golf cart so much? I understand that. Don't old people love golf carts? I don't know, too well Google that.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I mean, if I was an old man and I could drive around in a golf cart everywhere I go. I mean, yeah, you might be like, oh, it's nice to have a golf cart, but these dudes are like raging. Have you ever ridden in a golf cart before? I love driving a golf cart. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:27 But I just have a smile on my face. I'm not like, yeah. Yeah. Sure. You don't got your hands up in the air like you're on a roller coaster? I love a golf cart. You know, whenever I'm on the back lot
Starting point is 00:45:37 and I'm allowed to drive a golf cart, I feel so special. It's the best feeling ever. It's fun to drive a golf cart, especially around a back lot. It's fun to drive a golf cart, especially around a back lot. It's fun to drive a golf cart on a golf course. How about that? I'll bet that's true.
Starting point is 00:45:50 But then you don't get your exercise, right? Isn't the whole point of golf if you need to get your steps? Well, that's the thing, man. The older you get, the more you're like, I don't necessarily want the cart anymore because now you're trying to keep up with all the time and shit like that. Right. You have no interest in getting back into golf, do you?
Starting point is 00:46:08 Right now, no. I have no interest in getting back into golf. No. You went so into it. You got so deep. I went hard. 10 years deep. The lowest I ever shot was two under. Why don't you bring your family to that? What's that place called where there's food and it's a driving range? Topgolf. Yeah. Why don't you bring your family to that? What's that place called where there's like food and it's a driving range and- Top golf. Yeah, why don't you bring your family to top golf? It's fun when you got a bunch of kids
Starting point is 00:46:30 and you take them to top golf and they've never played golf before. That's a lot of fun. Yeah, that might be fun. Taking my kids to top golf, like Rocco and Wilder to top golf. Yeah. They're not gonna have as much fun
Starting point is 00:46:43 as I'm gonna have there because there's so many things for adults at top golf. It's for adults to have as much fun as I'm going to have there because there's so many things for adults at Topgolf. It's for adults. Oh, it's more of like an adult place. But if you can get a party going with a bunch of kids, it becomes like a, it can be a kid party. I drove by the one in Vegas when I was, when we were at F1, remember you were with me and gosh that looked, I mean, I have no interest, but it looks so fun.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Well, yeah, because you freaking eat chicken wings, you freaking hit golf balls. It's like a bowling alley, but like on four stories. And they had screens playing like sports. We took my kids team. It just looked like, I never looked at something and gone, that looks like so much fun for people that are into that. Yes, 100%.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Like that's how I felt. I was like, I don't want to go, but if I was into that, that looks amazing. You take that back once you go. We took my son's basketball team, the guard dogs, the Englewood guard dogs. Shout out Englewood guard dogs. Shout out to the Englewood guard dogs, everybody.
Starting point is 00:47:44 We took them to the top golf in Vegas. They had a tournament in Vegas and we took them. All the parents and these kids had so much fun and none of them had ever played golf before. Only my kids had played golf really. And then one other kid had played golf. But all the other kids had never played golf before and had so much fun trying to play.
Starting point is 00:48:02 It's like playing skeet ball with a stick and a ball. It's so many things I don't want to do. Watch sports, play golf and excessively drink. But if I loved all of them, it seems like heaven to me. Yeah. Top golf. Well, that's what, that was my introduction into golf. Not top golf, but you go play golf, you drink heavily,
Starting point is 00:48:23 and then you bet a bunch of money, and at the end of the day, hopefully you still have cash. You know what I mean? Bring your money because we're playing golf. Sounds like a great time. It was a great time. And then I'm over it now. I mean, if you're into that shit.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I'm over it now. All right. Well, we should take a break. We're going to take another break and when we come back, we're going to talk about this really preposterously horrible episode. We'll be right back. Wow. You honor me.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Hey, girlfriends. It's me, Carol Fisher. I'm so excited to tell you about the brand new series of The Girlfriends.

Starting point is 00:51:06 I'm Tamika DeMallory. And it's your boy, Mice on the General. And we are your host of TMI, New Year, New Name, New Energy, but... Same old us. Oh, yeah. And catch us every Wednesday on the Black Effect Network, breaking down social and civil rights issues, pop culture,
Starting point is 00:51:26 and politics in hopes of pushing our culture forward to make the world a better place for generations to come. But that's not all. We will also have special guests to add their thoughts on the topics, as well as break down different political issues with local activists in their community. If you like to be informed and to expand your thoughts, listen to TMI on the black effect podcast network, I heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. That's right. All right, so Turk loses art in the surgery and he's very pissed off about it, understandably, but you know, he can't save everyone and he tried and he's mad at Cox.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Yeah, and then he realizes Cox was looking. I don't get this. At the end, I realized you were looking out for me and you had my back, et cetera, et cetera. And it was like, wait a second, he forced you into this. He didn't have your fucking back. He was being selfish trying to make this guy live long. He was trying to be a superhero.
Starting point is 00:52:42 He wanted the fact that he wanted to save this guy another year or three to four years. He wasn't looking at it. Well, he did. No, I think he did believe you have to believe that Cox is always because he's, you know, such a noble person that he's always trying to do the right thing. He went the more aggressive route and sometimes that's not going to pay off, but he wanted the best for art. And this time he bet wrong. Right. Which I'm sure a lot of doctors deal with. They battle like, this one's a gamble,
Starting point is 00:53:14 but I gotta go for it. And I'm sure that's something that a lot of doctors have to wrestle with. Right, I just think Turk, when confronted with this, at the end, it wasn't the fact that Cox believed in him and that was why he pushed him into the surgery. It was because Cox was trying to gamble on this man. Like you just said, he took a gamble. He was trying to save this man's life
Starting point is 00:53:52 for the reason of he liked the guy and not necessarily because he believed Turk can do it. You go in there and you save him because you can do it. Turk's like, this motherfucker is gonna die. You go in there and you save him. Oh, you're saying so Cox's love of the man may have pushed him to the wrong decision. I understand.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Yes. And I don't think it's the wrong decision. It might've been the right decision. I'm just saying. The guards apologize to the cart. They've been convinced that the cart has its own soul and that the cart is mad at them and has left them. At one point-
Starting point is 00:54:27 Where did that storyline come from? I don't know. At one point they're lying in the ground, looking up at the clouds, thinking about all the different food items that the clouds look like. Like where did the storyline of the cart, them missing the cart, when did that-
Starting point is 00:54:41 Someone convinced them that the cart was mad at them because they kick it and they don't treat it well. Yeah, Denise was like, basically abusing the cart. And so she left on her own. Yeah, the cart. Apologize, it'll roll back. Right, and then Drew rolls the cart in so that it just magically appears
Starting point is 00:55:00 and the guys are convinced. And now, and then when that later, when we see them, they're like buffing it. They're like really taking care of the car. It's so bad. It's like a Nickelodeon storyline. Oh, far off. This is something like, I feel like-
Starting point is 00:55:16 Zach and Cody would go through. Yeah, this is like a Zach and Cody storyline. Now we gotta take care of the cart. This is a sweet life of Zack and Cody storyline. Yeah. I feel like this is something Phil Lewis would be doing on Sweet Life of Zack and Cody. I feel like this is a storyline that would end like this. You haven't gone for a while.
Starting point is 00:55:38 That's what they said to the cart. At the end of Zack and Cody, the cart rolls back and they're like, You haven't gone for a while. You haven't gone for a while. And now they've- That makes the line reader even worse when he says it like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:53 All right, then Lucy decides she likes Cole and Turks calls her a crazy white girl. And you get the summation of the episode. This hospital is so brutal that if you can actually find someone to help you get through it then you're lucky. Everyone needs someone to watch their back. But I'm just trying to say, where was that in the story?
Starting point is 00:56:20 Where was that in the story? Watch my back. Where was watch my back in the whole story? Up to that point. I know, I guess it's that Drew and Denise's back because she was yelled at by the security guards so they were gonna get even with the security guards. And- Yeah, that's reaching, bro. I don't know what, how did Lucy or Cole
Starting point is 00:56:40 have each other's back there? I have no idea. Lucy confesses that she loves him in front of a big audience at the end. Oh yeah, she does a big announcement that she loves him. So that means she's got his back. Right. I guess. Yeah, and then you have to say to Cox, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:56:56 No, Cox has to say to me. Cox has to say to to tootie Dr. Turk's a cutie. Cause I am baby. Yeah, and then Lucy decides she's going to change Cole. And he no longer can say. He's not allowed to say all these things he says. What a doomed couple. The scrubs and the Wiki noted that there's no songs
Starting point is 00:57:15 in the episode outside of score and there's no fantasies in the episode. And then as I said, it's the lowest, other than the clip show it's the lowest rated of all Scrubs episodes. Ba-ba-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. That doesn't make me feel good, guys. I'm gonna keep it 100, man. Well, it's all winding to a close, Donald.
Starting point is 00:57:34 We're about to put a fork in it. Usually when shows, even if they're bad, even when shows are bad, as the season progresses, the show gets better and things start to happen. Is that a rule? a rule, a rule. But usually that's what happens at from the beginning to the end. The writers have gained some experience. The actors have gained some experience and things start to change a little bit.
Starting point is 00:57:56 That doesn't necessarily mean the show gets better. But I mean, is a better show. But the groove and the and the and the and the I don't know, but usually it seems to escalate. This doesn't escalate. This doesn't get, there are no stakes for these kids right now. Like there's nothing going on for these. This is, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Well, good news is it all works out for them. They all end up having wonderful careers. All right, Joelle, do you have any callers for us? We have a caller if we go to break and come back. We're going to go to break and you're going to hear one of Joel's reviews that she collects off the interwebs. We'll be right back. Hey, girlfriends. It's me, Carol Fisher. I'm so excited to tell you about the brand new series of The Girlfriends.
Starting point is 00:58:45 In season one, we told you about the murder of Gail Katz at the hands of my ex-boyfriend Bob. At one point, a woman's torso washed up on Staten Island and was misidentified as Gail. She spent nine years in Gail's grave, and then she just disappeared. It's almost like it's become this moral obligation to find her. And that's what we're going to do, find this missing girlfriend and tell her story. With the help of some of your favorite girlfriends from season one,
Starting point is 00:59:15 like my producer Anna. Oh my god. My friend Dr. Mindy Shapiro. Hi it's Dr. Shapiro and I'd like to speak with the deputy medical examiner. And of course, Gail's sister Elaine Katz. Having no closure, it kills you. Join us as we try to solve a 35-year-old cold case. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be one hell of a ride.

And we're back. Take it away. Hey, I're back. And we're back. Okay, take it away. Hey, my name is Raphael Devona. Now, to talk about episode 908, our couples.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Recently rewatching this episode in preparation for this, I was reminded just how funny season nine can be when it's firing on all cylinders. After a few episodes of the characters finding their footing, we're starting to really get that classic scrubs feeling back. So starting with Denise and Drew, right? They're messing with the security guards
Starting point is 01:02:35 and their golf card and they're really bonding as a couple, right? In their mutual love of messing with others. So you see them become more well-rounded characters. You see some great laugh out loud moments with those two security guards. I mean, I'm sure not the only one who thought that they had a little bit of a guy love going on between those two, right? Like there's a little bit of Turk and JD in them, right? Next here, we had that relationship between Dr. Cox and Turk, where even though they are seasoned vets at this point
Starting point is 01:03:04 in their career, there's always that doubt in the back of your mind about, hey, am I doing the right thing? And they realize how much they need each other, need to have each other's back and belief in each other. And that's something to be said about that, that even after all these years, these two are still learning,
Starting point is 01:03:21 they're still growing in their relationships. And also I just wanna take a second to this shout out How much ups Donald had when he jumped over that gurney like holy shit. Yeah, you did have some air All right most had a trampoline last the main storyline in this whole know Cole and Lucy and Cole has been a tremendous douche up to this point in the season But you really see someone who was redeemable starting to poke through there, right? Not only that, Cole had also one of the funniest lines in the season when he yelled at Lucy
Starting point is 01:03:52 when she got in front of his golf cart and yelled at her, that's how gardeners die. The way he said that, he has seen some things, man. He has seen death. But also I just want to just shout out Dave Franco as well. Cause he made that character being, you know, almost irredeemable in the first half of the season to someone you kind of root for here. And not all actors could flip that switch
Starting point is 01:04:15 and Franco does it like seamlessly, right? So yeah, this episode was fantastic, hilarious, full of heart. And I'd pull it up in the higher tier Scrubs episodes easily. Another thing I just wanna say too, for people that are hating on season nine, you gotta remember, proper Scrubs had eight seasons to get to where it was. Those characters had eight seasons to evolve.
Starting point is 01:04:37 You know, here we have- Nigga, we were spawning from the gate! 13 episodes to get them to know these characters. And you know, you're not gonna be fully formed in this 13 episodes. I think if the show would have went on more, I think it would have got a better following and it would not have been looked down upon as much as it is now.
Starting point is 01:04:55 But with that being said, thanks for taking the time to listen to me. I hope you'll have a great one. Amazing. I totally agree with him. No, you don't. I disagree. Rafael, this reminded me, Joel,
Starting point is 01:05:06 of, you know, in a courtroom, how Donald and I were like the prosecutors, and then Rafael served as the defense attorney. And so as prosecutors, we don't agree with Rafael, but it was nice to hear him articulate the defense's position. I agree. The one thing that I do agree with him on
Starting point is 01:05:26 is that Dave Franco is phenomenal. Yeah, he is. I do agree with him with that. I think Dave Franco is one of, when we were doing this show, he was one of my favorite people to be around when we were making this show. Well, he's also just the sweetest dude in the world.
