Fire. Real talk. Yo. So I don't know how we're going to cover all that I have to say in this episode, plus have the genius guest that we have, the one and only Sarah Chalk. We have so much to cover. Season three begins. Right now.

Yes, season three. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to season three. We made it. We made it to season three. This is going so fast. We're going to be done with this show too soon. I know.

iHeart needs to re-up. Well, no. iHeart's clearly going to re-up. I mean, I don't know where my fucking gift basket is, but I think it's pretty clear they're going to re-up. But I mean, you know, someone wrote me on my social media that like, if you guys keep going at this rate, you'll be done in this many weeks.

And I was like, oh shit, that's kind of fast. Well well that's a great thing about what we're gonna do when we're out of scrubs episodes i think we could keep going with with watching movies or or or like pick episodes of favorite tv shows or something i like that idea that sounds great i mean what's gonna happen obviously is eventually the world will reopen and we'll be going back to to to doing what we do for a living acting and directing and maybe we'll slow down and do one a week instead of two a week i'm just speculating listen man anything's possible that's the beauty of that's the beauty of this podcast it's called fake doctors real friends it's not necessarily called the scrubs rewatch show

yeah that's just smart that was smart we could have called it the Scrubs Rewatch Show, and then it just would have been that. Right. No, but that's not what this is. This is a tale of two fake doctors who are actually real friends. We could take this on to something else. Maybe we watch other doctor shows.

I preferably do not want to do that. No, no. I would say since we talk so much about movies and I do think that the listeners like the discussion of pop culture and episodes of TV, we could literally go, okay, this week we're doing Back to the Future. This week we're doing an episode of What's Happening. Like we could just, I think we could just like pick whether it's a TV episode or a movie. And like and that's the topic of discussion that week. I would love to do the Back to the Future one now.

Could we do that? No. We already did La La Land. Although I think when we switch to this mode, we'll have to do a more in-depth La La Land. Oh, I can go way deeper with my La La Land. You know, we turned a lot of people on to La La Land. I had a lot of people on my feeds being like,

you know, I never actually watched it. And I did. Thank you so much. I'm crying my eyes out. Really? Yeah. I would think that people would just be pissed off at the end of La La Land. I don't necessarily think people would be.

I didn't think people would be crying and stuff. I cried my eyes out at the end of La La Land. You didn't. It was sad. You cried at the end of La La Land? I'm a big sucker for love that cannot be. If you strategically and do a good job in your script of setting up two people, I'm dying to be together. And then you throw at me that they can't be together.

I mean, even if, like, we always, not always, we've used the example of Whoopi being separated from her sister in Color Purple. Oh, my gosh. Or feel the dreams, the father having to catch, but he's got to go back to the field. Like, you give me two people that love each other, and they can't be together, I'm fucking done. I hear that. Out of Africa, come on, buddy.

Bridges of Madison County, come on, buddy. When she reaches for that handle and her hand is shaking, come on, buddy. Spoilers. that handle and her hand is shaking, come on, buddy. Spoilers. When she's about to commit infidelity and she's about to cheat on her husband, so come on, buddy. Are you watching Raised by Wolves?

Us. No, is that the Mowgli story of Tarzan? No. Jungle Book and Tarzan in one reference. No, it's Ridley Scott, dude, and it's... Jungle Book and Tarzan in one reference. No, it's Ridley Scott, dude. And it's sci-fi, so I know you'll love it. And it's really good. Joelle, you must be watching this.

I freaking love it. There you go. But I don't want to... It's cool. I think you'll really like it, Donald, because it's like sci-fi. It's all the stuff Ridley Scott's been exploring with the Alien franchise for the past couple of years.

And what I'm really interested in, it's like the story of a mother and son, mostly. Ridley Scott's son takes over the series after episode three. So Ridley Scott directs the first three episodes. Oh, I didn't know that. But his son does the next one. Yeah. Is it Jake?

I think so. You can look it up. He's got a few sons. I'm actually represented by the Ridley Scott's company as a commercial director. And, oh, a little bit of trivia for you. When we cut my short film that I made with Alicia Silverstone and Florence Pugh, the one that you all should go watch if you haven't watched it,

called In the Time It Takes to Get There, that was in the whole edit suite where they cut this show. So they, like, loaned us one of their bays for, like, a few days, and we cut our short in there. And I didn't know what it was. It was like, oh, yeah, we're gearing up to cut this epic series called Raised by Wolves. And I was like, I don't know what that is.

And now I'm watching it, and it's so good. I was like, oh, shit, I was cutting on their habits. So there you go. Donald, you'll love it. It's sci-fi. There's spaceships. There's androids. Oh, that's the one where like the android is like got a bunch of kids, and it's sci-fi there's spaceships there's androids oh that's the one

where like the android is like got a bunch of kids and it's yes yes it's really good Luke Scott

oh yeah well Jake Scott's also a really amazing director but Donald you'll love it should we talk about Peloton did you spin today

I did not spin today I'm gonna spin a little bit later I did you can probably tell by how sweaty I am you gotta try this woman Leanne Hainsby she's my favorite right now I'm going to spin a little bit later. I did. You can probably tell by how sweaty I am. You got to try this woman, Leanne Hainsby. She's my favorite right now. I'm telling you, try Cody.

That's the one. I did try Cody. I did try Cody. Did you laugh your ass off? He's funny, but he has – I love how they all have catchphrases. Cody has some catchphrases, right? He says some shit that's like – they're all trying to find their what you're talking about, Willis. What was Cody's catchphrase?

I forgot. He said one phrase over and again. But Leanne's is done and dusted because she's British. And I didn't know that was a... Done and dusted. She goes, okay, okay, sit back down. That section's over. Done and dusted.

And I was like, did she make this shit up? And then I asked Florence, is that like a British expression? She's like, yeah, done and dusted. I never heard done and dusted before. Done and dusted. Do you know what and dusted before. Done and dusted. Do you know what my favorite British saying is? Bits and bobs.

What is that? Penis and balls? No, bits and bobs. Just like bits and bobs. Oh, it doesn't refer to penis and balls. Why would it refer to penis and balls? I don't know. Penis is willy.

Sorry, I forgot. Oh, for fuck's sake, just stop talking about willies. Sorry, I forgot. For fuck's sake, just stop talking about willies. Sorry, Deb. Anyway, yeah, so I want to incorporate, I might even try it in this podcast, the expression, done and dusted. Okay. I'm getting skinny, though, dude. I just want you to know I'm pushing myself. You're looking good. I'm not going to lie. You're looking good, man. I'm cutting weight. I'm not ready to reveal my abs yet because it's only been a week,. I'm not going to lie. You're looking good, man. I'm cutting weight. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not ready to reveal my, my abs yet.

Cause it's only been a week, but I'm, but I'm going hardcore. I can't wait for the ab reveal. There'll be an ab reveal. Are you in the back? Men's health. Like everybody else. And that's my goal. Hey, speaking of cover of men's health, did you see Ryan Reynolds on Twitter?

Yes. What? Donald, you didn't see that? No. Oh my God. Oh, he's been blowing us up all morning. He wants to come on the show. He's like.

Donald, go check Twitter right now. No, not now. You got Twitter on your phone? Not now. Do you have Twitter on your phone? Yeah. He missed his opportunity, man. Oh, really?

We're not going to deny him. It's too late. The funny thing is, we don't have an episode. He's going to be like our first. It's a very special episode. Yeah, he's going to be our first just like shooting this shit with episode. Yeah, he's going to be our first just shooting this shit with Ryan Reynolds. Tonight on a very special episode of Fake Doctors, Real Friends.

You know, it'd be funny to get him to just watch an episode. It'd be funny to just get him to watch an episode he has nothing to do with and be like, Ryan, you're going to weigh in on 302. What do you think about this one-er? So wait, hold up. He liked... Somebody obviously reached out to him and was like why did you diss the fake doctor no no i was very tactful when i when i posted i made your tweet was hilarious i

made a joke saying right today on the podcast ryan reynolds asterix down and put on the asterisk is a great actor we talk about and um people really replied to that i'm sure people i know people were tagging him left and right and uh and today he responded like, I want to be on the show. And then everyone started weighing in. And I was like, we love you, Ryan. Bring gin. And he's like, I'll bring, what did he write? He wrote like, I'll bring empty bottles and all the gin that's already in my body or something like that.

But like, he's like, he's coming. He wants to come on the show. Okay, that's great. Why do you have that face on? It's like you're pouting. Are you pouting? Who? You.

Me? Yeah, you don't seem excited that Ryan wants to come on the show all of a sudden. No, I smoked that sativa today, so I'm not as... Oh, dude. I'm not as... Come on. You can't get high and come to work. I'm not high. I just said I smoked that... I just said I smoked that shit today. I'm not ass. Come on. You can't get high and come to work. I'm not high.

I just said I smoked that shit today. Oh, my God. We are so opposite. I love it. I did the Peloton and chugged a Red Bull, and Donald's fucking sitting pulling bong hits in his living room. Come on, buddy. This is work.

You gotta entertain these people. I can't do bong hits in the living room. Come on, buddy. This is work. You gotta entertain these people. I can't do bong hits in the living room. I got the kids in the living room. All right, well, whatever. In your garden shed. In the shed. I love it. Sitting on the lawnmower.

I got a little escape deck. Oh, yeah, he has a secret escape deck. All right, well, everyone. Should we get into the show? Should we get into the show? We have a lot to talk about. We gotta bring in Sarah. Is Sarah here? Sarah's here. Bring, everyone. Should we get into the show? Should we get into the show? We have a lot to talk about. We have to bring in Sarah. Is Sarah here?

Sarah's here. Bring her in. Boom. Let's see everybody if she can figure out her tech. Oh, Jesus. She's on her iPad. That's always a bad sign. Remember she had music playing one time?

Yes. But she could only hear it, right? We couldn't hear it. Yeah. Let's see everybody. Let's see, listeners, if Sarah Chalk can join a Zoom call without issue. So far,

no. We've got Sarah's iPad is connecting to... Oh, there she is. Oh my god, is she in a studio? That's soundproofing. She's got fancy soundproofing probably because of Rick and Morty or something

there she is hi what happened did I do it is it working yeah it seems to be working are you recording oh boy for real these guys you're not even oh god oh god there's gonna be

a oh myGod situation already. And then— And then. You guys are going to know what happened. The dogs ate my other dog and my dad. This was actually a dogs ate my homework situation. I was so prepared, and I watched the episode, and I couldn't find my sheets. And I was like, fuck, it's 1 o'clock.

Where is everything I wrote down? And so I retraced my steps, and look was like fuck it's one o'clock where is everything I wrote down and so I retraced my steps and look where I found it the wind had blown it in between the decks and it's like oh my gosh

so that's how much you care about that's how much you care about our episode you guys Sarah's holding up

Sarah's holding up a paper that looks like it's been through the washing machine oh my god this is the most but I'm glad the audience is seeing this because this is what every single morning

of we ever saw Sarah was like. She was like, you guys, you're not going to believe this. The notes that I made of the show fell in the gutter. They did. And then just as I was reaching for it, a raccoon picked it up and ran off with it. And then,

I chased the raccoon down. That I actually prepared and at time code 3.52, Kelso made a great face. Sarah, it looks like you have a fancy sound booth, but is that a makeshift thing because you do Rick and Morty and other fun voiceover work?

So I can't remember if I told you guys this story, but when I first, the pandemic hit and I was recording cartoons and I was grabbing every duvet and pillow on the bottom bunk bed and making like a sound cocoon for as, you know, good acoustics as we could get. But that point we were just kind of doing pickups and it was fine. And then I, they wanted better sound quality. So I took seven moving blankets and duct taped them to my four-year-old's play tent. And I would like crawl in there. So then I did like this deep dive into building my own sound booth.

And I learned more about like green glue and clips and bass traps than I could ever want to know. And so then finally I decided to just order like a proper vocal booth from Oregon and it was shipped up in a crate and then we had to assemble it. So I like the real deal. Oh wow. It's big, Sarah. I like that you got it from Oregon. It's big. You guys, Sarah has like a legit professional audio booth. It's about time though, Sarah, because I feel like you do a lot of awesome VO work and I can understand that people were probably like, all right, come on, Sarah. Well, especially since you guys all know

how technologically inclined I am. Yes, our listeners have all heard. You don't understand, before this one, I'm like, I'm going to have everything ready. And at the last minute, I was like, oh, they prefer earbuds, not, you know, headphones. And I thought I was so organized. And then I went to go grab my papers. And I was like.

Oh, my God. Well, I'm so glad you're here, Sarah. It's good to see you, guys. I miss you. It's so good to see you. We miss you. And I'm so glad you're here for this one because it's just an an incredible elliot episode and um we've been talking so much and this isn't just to blow smoke and i know you probably don't listen to the

podcast but we are not men of lip service let's keep it 100 i know i spent nine years i know i know i know you're not but i feel like no but sarah even though it's belated and this is coming from the bottom of my heart, Donald and I are watching these episodes, and almost every episode we're like, holy shit, I wasn't paying enough attention to how good Sarah is in this show. That is so nice and so not true. I find the beginning episodes very difficult for me to watch because I'm so bad. I feel like I learned so much as the show went along.

I disagree. I think you're so funny, Sarah. You're comic chopped. You're so good in this show. I think I was so in my own bubble and trying to do a good job of my own thing. And of course, I noticed occasionally when I thought you were being funny or your dramatic work was great. But now, just sitting here 20 years later watching it, Donald and I are both like, holy shit, Sarah is funny as hell.

And of course, your dramatic stuff, too. But you're just hilarious. Well, for the dramatic stuff, I've got my Josh Radin iPod soundtrack. Remember I used to go with my iPods and have my crying playlist? I think that's a go-to move for a lot of people putting on sad music. What were you going to say, Donald? And you're fine as hell, girl. Holy shit.

Oh. There it is. There it is. There it is. I'll take it, Pete. That is real talk. I'm deep in my heart. I'll take it.

Sarah, we just watched the episode where you were in your naughty nurse outfit making out with Donald, and that got us all riled up. Oh, my God. I remember that day, and it was like, you know when you're on a show, and you are somebody's love interest from the beginning, and you kind of meet, and you're already kissing, but it's so different from when you become such good friends with somebody, and you're on a show and you are somebody's love interest from the beginning and you kind of meet and you're already kissing, but it's so different from when like you become such good friends with somebody and you're just buddies. And then all of a sudden it's like, and now you will be on all fours crawling on top of

them and you'll be wearing very little clothing. Right. Zach was like, Zach kept asking me, he was like, wait a second. And you didn't get like excited. And I was like, dude, at this point we were hanging out so much and we were so tight as friends that it was like yo it's like I'm kissing my sister dude

I know but when you look at the scene it looks really good like we had good chemistry I was jealous I'm not gonna lie I can't lie and tell you I wasn't jealous 20 years later I was like get your fucking hands off my woman.

Don't. I love it. Wait, we never counted in, Sarah. And since you're our favorite Canadian, Ryan Reynolds is going to be coming on the program. So he's going to be our second favorite Canadian. But since you're our first favorite Canadian, I thought you might. Wait, wait, wait. Tom Cavanaugh also. Tom Cavanaugh also came on the show. Okay. Well, Tom's the second. Ryan thought you might. Wait, wait, wait. Tom Cavanaugh also.

Tom Cavanaugh also came on the show. Okay, well, Tom's the second, Ryan will be third. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I can't believe, are you? Oh, and then we're going to have Michael J. Fox, I hope, so that means.

So he can be top. He might just play Sarah. No, no, no, it'd be Sarah, Michael J. Fox, Tom Cavanaugh. I love Sarah, but I think Michael J. Fox might briefly, maybe just for the week, move Sarah down, no? No, it would be Sarah, Michael J. Fox, Tom Cavanaugh. I love Sarah, but I think Michael J. Fox might briefly, maybe just for the week, move Sarah down.

No? No, it would be Sarah, Michael J. Fox, Tom Cavanaugh, and then Ryan Reynolds. And when Ryan comes on, Donald and Ryan, I've done the exact same. That scene I just did with Donald, like all fours corralling on top of him, also I've done with Ryan Reynolds. Really? That could be discussed. Oh, you want to do that or you have done it? You have done it? No, I have.

What movie was that? I don't know if you guys remember when we were... Canadian porn, Sarah. Did you do Canadian porn? There's a lot of work here now. It didn't used to be that way. So, Ryan... I don't know if you guys remember... We had to take what we could get. You know, Ryan and I were young. We had to take what we could get. You know, Ryan and I were young.

We had to take what Canadian work we could get. Canadian porn is not something you hear a lot about. But, okay, go ahead. It's very tame. Very tame. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. They politely kiss each other.

Totally. All right, before we count in, Sarah, tell us the story where you mounted Ryan Reynolds. So, I don't know if you guys remember. I can't remember what season it was on Scrubs. But I remember I was like, oh, man, I got to put on bra and underwear for this movie. And it was pretty much my only couple scenes in the movie. And one or two of them were in, like, just full bra and underwear, like, push Ryan Reynolds on the bed, crawl on top of them, much like the Donald scene. the Donald scene.

And so I was like trying to do, I think I asked you, Zach, you had that amazing delivery food service that was like super healthy. And so I tried doing that and I was like trying to be all healthy. And wait, what happened? So then what was the scene? You mounted him? Was it awkward? Was there chemistry like there was between you and Donald when you were in your naughty outfit?

Hells yeah. So I was, I was, I think I got there to set and my first scene was that scene with Ryan. So it was kind of like, hi, nice to meet you again, kind of,

because we'd known each other through friends when we were younger, but I didn't know him well at all. And yeah, that was literally the first scene

as I, like a garter and heels and like this. What movie is this? How can the fans watch this, Sarah? What movie is it? Let's say I wanted to quickly watch it this evening.

It is directed by Marco Siega, starring Ryan Reynolds and Emily Mortimer, and the name of it is coming to me. I'll count us in. You guys will go to break. I'll think about it. All right, hold on. And Sarah, you will now count us in.

Go for it, girl. It's really happening. I get to do it. This is an honor. We only bestow this on certain people. French or English? I mean, we're in Canada. French.

Do French. French. French. Cinq, six, sept, huit. Or would you prefer cinq,. Thank you, Joelle. We watch your with Zach and Donald. Sarah, so what was the movie called? Joelle helped you out. Joelle helped me out. Thank you, Joelle.

Chaos Theory. Chaos Theory. All right, everyone. This is obviously before he blew up and became the Ryan Reynolds that he is today. Was he already ripped and stuff like that? Donald wants to know if you had a chance to see the abs live in person. Were they doughy? Was he doughy at the time?

Or was he like ripped enough to be a character in Magic Mike? He was ripped. I just remember him being ripped. I don't know the degrees of rippage that you guys are referring to, but I would just say. Sarah, you were on top of them. I'm sure you know that they were. I feel bad that you were coming

from me being your love interest and then going to Ryan Reynolds with his abs and had to come back to my showy physique. By the way, this episode, I really have to say, the first shot of me, I instantly saw that I had a little fupa happening. I had a little belly. Oh my god.

The first shot is one of my favorite shots in the episode. I mean, when you're dancing, it fucking kills me. It's so funny. Hold on, hold on. We have so much to talk about. We're going too fast. Let's just do the recap real quick so we can get this out of the way. Yes, the recap.

Alright, hold on. I don't have my phone. Dan, I need you to time. No problem. And yes, I have been listening to the podcast. I am behind, but I have been listening and I do know the last words. Dan, I need you to time. No problem. I don't have my phone. And yes, I have been listening to the podcast. I am behind, but I have been listening, and I do know that you asked Scarlett Johansson. Nobody asked you, Sarah. I know. Nobody asked, Sarah. Nobody asked, Sarah.

I did hear you ask Scarlett Johansson about Ryan Reynolds' app, so I know that that happened. Yes. Okay, that's your job. All right, here we go. All right, you ready? Ready? It's 47 seconds now, Sarah. 47 seconds?

Ready? Go. Season three begins with a pow. Dr. Cox punches Dr. Kelso in the nose. Things in the hospital seem to go back to normal. Well, there are a few changes. JD stopped using moose. When the progression of change doesn't move fast enough,

some people take matters into their own hands and try to help change with its pace. Unfortunately, change is stubborn as fuck and moves at its own speed. It's like, it likes to take its time. Change is so slow that things always

seem to be the same. Okay. Change is so slow, things always seem to be the same 39 seconds Thank you Donald For that beautiful Summation of the themes My first impression was

What the hell did I do During this hiatus Because I have a belly My hair is too long I seem a little Fat in my face Like I've been overindulging In alcohol

That was my first impression of myself. What did you guys think when you first saw your season three selves? When I first saw you, I was like, oh, shit. This is the season Zach came back comfortable. I was like, he came back. He came back. But it's true. He went away that summer and sincerely was like, you know, hey, I'm the star of a hit show.

And I'm going to be on Thursday nights. And he ate some freaking ice cream. So you're saying you noticed I looked a little chubby. I don't like that, but it's true. See, when you guys say that you don't blow smoke, I mean, you mean it. You can tell like it is. No, I'm going to tell. We don't mince words here.

I want him to be honest with me. I tell him when he looks a little tubbins. You tell me that all the time. Tubbins. I like that. It sounded like Mary Poppins. We're tubbins for paper and string. You can have your own set of wings.

What's up? You know what I remember? We were a bonafide hit at this point. Season two was our biggest season ever. And I have to look up what i did that hiatus i'm sure i may have made a movie maybe it was last kiss or something i don't know but i came back a little tubbins no i think it's god i think this time it's garden state i think garden state had come out oh you're right jumping timeline and no it didn't come out i think i probably shot gardens that it had to be this year i probably shot garden state that it had

to be this year that you shot garden state because the year before you had just uh sold it and everything like that so this is the right right right the year before i had done uh shakespeare in the park in new york and then i had set it up with natalie and this would have been one year later is when i probably made the movie sorry i'm bad with time like that but you're probably right so anyway i come back. I remember that all three of us were kind of like, the show is such a hit. Are we going to get a little pay raise? Because that

sometimes happens after two years. We had heard that the Will & Grace cast had all been given boxsters. Do you remember that? This was like when the Porsche boxster... Boxster? Yeah. It had just come out, and they had given all four of the leads of Will and Grace boxsters and we were like,

oh shit, what are we going to get? What's going on? And we didn't get anything. And then the first episode opened with U2, the song, and I never turned to Donald being like, I guess that's where I'm raised with. Oh my god. That U2 song, I mean,

just hearing it in this episode, like, does it bring you guys right back to the pilot? I can't hear that song without it, like, being 24 again and shooting that pilot. Why? Did we play the song a lot? Yeah. Or is that when it came out? That was in the pilot. It was in the pilot episode when Daniel Joel, am I correct? Yeah, I think so.

When you walk in, it's like the song, I think, in the pilot episode. It probably is. Unless it was that we try to put it in and then when we it was just in the pre-cut and when we aired we didn't get it till three years later but i think we had it in there and i don't know i just remember that it was very expensive and i think we we were told at the time like someone was like you're not going to believe how much we spent on getting that you too song and we were all like great that sounds great. It's going to be really good. Because Bono needs a new house.

Right. Did you guys, was that the year that you got your new car? Speaking of boxers, it wasn't a boxer, but when you went from your Z to your Porsche and Bill put the license plate on? No, I didn't go right to Porsche. TV doc? I didn't get that cocky.

I got a 350Z. The year the Nissan 350 on? No, I didn't go right to Porsche. TV doc. I didn't get that cocky. I got a 350Z. The year the Nissan 350Z came out, my father's fanciest sports car was a Nissan 280ZX, and I thought it was the coolest car. It was one of the first cars that would talk. That is to say, like, if you left your lights on, it would be like, your lights are on. And I was like, holy shit, we have Knight Rider.

We have fucking Knight Rider. And I would talk to it. I would talk to it. I would sit. lights are on and i was like holy shit we have night rider we have fucking night rider and i would talk to it i would talk to it i would sit my dad would be inside obviously like i wouldn't have the keys but i would like open the door and like flip the lights on and i'd be like uh hey kid uh is everything okay with the car and it would be like your lights are on i'm like thank you kit and i was just in heaven so i always loved nissan sports cars and then nissan came out with a 350z and i was so excited and i actually my car that i bought for five grand when i moved to la my parents loaned me money was a nissan 240sx super used barely you know i fixed

it up so it was fine and then when i got the when i got scrubbed and there was a bus boy um who worked at the french vietnamese restaurant with me, and he barely spoke English. I don't know any Spanish, but we were like best friends. And he loved my Nissan 240SX. And when I got Scrubs and then I bought the Z, I gave him the car for like a dollar because you have to like do some money exchange or something. So he got the car for a buck and it was pretty cool moment. And so, yes, my first fancy car with Scrubs was that I didn't get to Porsche until I made a little more money. Hold on. I remember what happened.

You bought the Z and everybody clowned you for buying the motherfucking Nissan Z. One person clowned me. One person only clowned me. Who was that one person? You. You. You. Okay, but also Bill who put TV doc on your

license plate and then he didn't tell you that he was doing that. I don't know if you've discussed this on the podcast or maybe you want to cut this out because it's too much of a deep wound. We don't cut embarrassing things out, Sarah. Bill had the prop department, unbeknownst to me, put a California license plate on my new car

that said TV dock and I didn't know about it or see it and I was driving around fucking LA. For how long? For how long? Like seven days. Probably like a week with a flashy sports car with TV dock on a license plate. So embarrassing. That inspired me when I was working on a show called Mad Love with Jason Biggs and Tyler Labine. And we were rapping the next day. And I thought, what would be a fun thing to do for the cast? And Judy Greer was on it.

She was like, I can't do it to Judy because she wouldn't have loved it. So I asked the props department, who are always so amazing, like in 24 hours, I was like, can you get me two license plates? And so they made me these license plates and so they made me these license plates and they teched them down to make them look old and i was like what would be the douchiest things that they could be driving around with so for biggs i i did b-i-g-g-s and the s was a dollar sign and then um for tyler labine i just did likeon, A-C-T-I-N apostrophe. Acton.

Acton. For my fellow kids. I've known Tyler since we were 16. We were in a Robin Hood takeoff with Joshua Jackson and Devin Sawa when we were like 15. All you Canadian kids stick together, man. There's a whole Canadian community up there. There's only like 14 of them. They all know each other.

No, there's way more than that, dude. I used to think like you, Zach. I used to think like you, but no, no, no. What I learned when I did a French-Canadian film in Montreal, and I learned that there's a whole community of French-Canadian stars

that watch French-Canadian cinema. They have their own star system. Because when I did the movie, this amazing actress I worked with, she was like a big star in Montreal. And interestingly enough, I said, oh, these movies must transfer over to France.

And they said, no, they rarely ever become popular in France. It's like, just this community, they have their own, like, movie stars. Do you know why? I want to see it. Oh, sorry, like, movie stars. Do you know why? I want to see it. Oh, sorry, Don. Go ahead. It's called The High Cost of Living.

It's a super, super, super good but also sad movie. It's the movie I made with Debra Chow. We've spoken about Debra Chow on this podcast. She's become one of the hottest directors in town. She's one of the directors of Mandalorian and she's directing the new Obi-Wan TV show. Anyway, her first feature that she wrote and directed

was there and it was called The High Cost of Living. I would imagine the reason why it wouldn't translate in France is because it's two different French speaking. Well, they're close enough.

I mean, it's not like it's different, right, Sarah? Sarah, you would know better than us, isn't it? It's like you can understand each other. That's like saying Haitians and Montreal people speak the same French, man. It's a different dialect. I don't think it's that different. Let's ask the person who's fluent. Sarah, is it that different?

I mean, they definitely are different. I feel like there's sort of like a— definitely people from France would like to definitely think so. Like when I go to France and I'm so excited to speak French at the markets and I was learned speaking, you know, all my teachers were going for French-Canadian. Alors, ben là, là. J'en ai jusque-là, là, Sarah. Je suis jetée la gâte.

La gâte. J'en ai jusque-là. Putain, ni esprit de rien, toi. Sarah, toute la gang. Sarah, la radio. They'd call me, Jen, and Emma, la radio. The radio.

Because we'd be like chatting all the time. I don't even know what she said, but it shifted. But that's French-Canadian right there. That's French-Canadian right there, right? But she's saying it's not that different. Now, Sarah, as I recall what they say. No, it's a big difference between that and freaking regular French.

She just said it was different. But Donald's saying they can barely understand each other. You can go there and they think you have an accent, but they understand you. Yeah. I mean, the words are all the same. Yeah. You just say that shit real hard, though. It's like, le poisson, motherfucker! It's like you're saying

it like that instead of being like... Le poisson, motherfucker. Because that comes up all the time. Fish! Instead of being like, instead of being like, le poisson, it's le poisson! I feel like they said of being like, instead of being like, instead of being like Les Poissons, it's Les Poissons!

I feel like they said we like this, Sarah. Weh. They go, weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh.

Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. Weh. make the pilot, Sarah. So maybe it was in the cut. You heard it in the cut and it probably was too expensive. I have to ask Bill now because I don't know if I'm making that up, but I thought it was in the cut of the pilot. But yeah, maybe we had to wait until season three for our Boxster money to go to the U2 song. Bill doesn't do the ask Bill

section. No, he does. You misunderstood Donald. It's not that he was giving up doing the segment. He said he just wanted to be more proactive in his contributions. Isn't that right, Joelle? Yes, that is correct. Let's get back to the segment. He said he just wanted to be more proactive in his contributions. Isn't that right, Joelle? Yes, that is correct. Okay, can we – let's get back to the show.

Okay, but I just have so much to talk about. How about that E! News article about us? That was incredible. Sarah, did you see that? I saw it, and I read it, and congratulations, and I agree. Thank you. And, I mean, just the fucking headline. Yeah, it was like the podcast of quarantine. How Fake Doctors Real Friends became the hit podcast of quarantine, everybody.

If you haven't seen it, E! News says that we're all amazing, and we agree. And it is such a beautiful relief in the midst of all of this shit. It's such a beautiful relief in the midst of all of the shit. Like, I find there have been stressful moments, obviously, over the past seven months when someone gets sick and you're like, oh, good. Now that every symptom's on the docket, there's not really a moment of relief if you're sick of wondering, is this it? Is this not it? And I have played. I remember one time I was really stressed and I played it, it was you guys and Neil Flynn and I laughed my ass off and it does, it just like takes you out

of all of the things it's so great you know what takes me out of thinking about shit too is watching you on vacation with your family Sarah and you trying to with the motorboat trying to get the motor

out of the water. That is the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life. First of all, you should follow Sarah Chalk on social media. Oh, my God. What was going on with this video? Can you explain it to people that didn't see? It looked hilarious. So it's a long video of my butt trying to pull up a motor.

I was trying to. So the motor is very heavy. And for some reason – Why were you trying to pull the – what do they call those motors? The outboard. Outboard motor. Why were you trying to pull the outboard motor out of the water? Because – so it's an outboard motor. It's like a 25 or something, which is the horsepower.

And it's big and it's heavy. And it's on the back of a tin boat. And so basically when you beach it, you can't leave the outboard down or the prop will get totally damaged. But doesn't it just tilt up? So this is a skill that my sisters have learned. And because I lived in L.A. and I just – for 20 17 years, whatever, I just there's some skills I was missing. So this summer I was like, I'm learning to drive the boat. I'm learning to pull out the motor.

The motor is very hard. So you pull in, you got to kind of time it out that you, you know, kill the motor. And then as you're coming into the beach, you don't want to kill it too early or you'll be out to sea. And then you have to quickly grab it and pull it up. But there's a way that you can kind of like push down on the handle to give yourself some, you know, oomph to get that motor out. And I didn't know that I was doing it until Piper, my sister, had videoed me trying for about 15 minutes to pull this motor out.

And then she played it back for me afterwards. And finally, I got up. I did bail and have a couple of scrubs-esque pratfalls. But what I didn't notice until I watched it back was every time I've always tried to pull up that motor, I make the JD pratfall sound. And I was like, whoo! Whoo! Whoo! And it just like for some reason helps.

It was so funny watching you try and pull an outboard motor out. I mean it was like watching an episode of Three's Company. It was just – I wish it was set to music. I laughed very hard at that. It's just – I mean, I can't – I'm telling you, it's heavy. It's heavy. I picture this is how you get around in Canada. Just with a 25.

Yeah, just in your little tin boat with your 25 horsepower. Yeah, just in your little tin boat with your 25 horsepower. Speaking of Canada, are you guys watching this show called The Vow on HBO Max? It's so good. I haven't seen it. I've heard it's so great, and we can discuss it at our next reunion. I've heard it's amazing. I'm just behind.

Y'all watch way too much television, man. It's like y'all need to get some, get a life. Some kids. Get a life, man, or something. Get some kids. You'll never watch television again. Well, Donald, I don't watch that much TV. I watch TV. We watch TV like for a few hours after dinner.

Motherfucker, you got a new show every day. It's like, yo, have you guys watched The Procession? Well, you don't watch It Sounds tv after you have dinner like like many do i i we do we we try and get into a few good shows betwixt dinner and bedtime yeah i don't i don't i don't have the i don't do that i get to watch i watch a little bit of sports right then then i you know then that's it and i go to bed. I think that you're unique in that area. I think especially during quarantine, there's a lot of brilliant television right now to consume.

Anyway, the vow on HBO Max. In October, I'm very excited for October. Anyway, the vow on HBO Max, I highly recommend you check it out. It's really fucked up and very well told and it's about a cult and a lot of it takes place in Vancouver. That's why I brought it up, Sarah.

I'm so glad you didn't get recruited into this sex cult because they pulled in a lot of actors. Is this a real thing? Is it based on NXIVM? Yes. It is NXIVM. It is. What are they talking about?

No, it's a documentary, Sarah. They're showing all these beautiful young Canadian actresses that got recruited into this thing. And I'm like, I'm so glad they didn't get my Sarah. I feel like it went down, I think, like right after I moved to L.A., if I'm right. Alison Mack, right? She's the one that was the recruiter. She becomes like one of the fucking leaders of the shit. Like branding them.

I listened to, I haven't watched it, but I listened to they did. Spoilers, but they brand them. Spoilers. They brand them vagina adjacent. Yes, they brand them next to their vaginas.

Sarah, you're ruining the show. I just have a couple more things to spoil. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what is the name of this show?

The Vow. It's called The Vow. It's on HBO Max. It is so fucked up. Daniel, are you watching it? I am not watching it. Let me write this down.

Let me write this down. You've got to watch it. So, Sarah, did anyone ever come up to you and be like, I have a really wonderful class I want to take you to? Let me just show you my branding. Oh, my God. She's lifting up her shirt. She's branded, everybody.

She's branded. And right at that moment, the LED lighting package went out. There we go. I don't mean to make a joke out of it, everybody. It is really fucked up. But you just can't believe it. You're watching it with your jaw on the floor of this. Not only is it such a fucked up story, but the documentarians did a really amazing job telling it because you're just like, holy shit.

I wonder if it's the same documentarians that did. So they did a podcast, which I've listened to all the episodes about NXIVM. I think it was on the CBC a couple years ago. We don't talk about other podcastsIVM. I think it was on the CBC a couple years ago. We don't talk about other podcasts, Sarah, but go ahead. Yeah, I get that. I just realized as it was coming out of my mouth, guys, listen to this podcast.

It was coming out of my mouth. It was coming out of my mouth, and I realized that it might be a competitor. And I was wearing my toque. I was wearing my toque, and I had just broken my garburator, when all of a sudden I pulled out of the parkade. Sarah, say the most Canadian sentence you can. I think that was it.

That involved tuque, which is your hat, your garburator, which is your garbage disposal, and your parkade, which is the parking structure. And then you say, sorry, sorry. And then you say, I'm just off. Has anyone seen La Guerre des Tuques? No, what's that? What? I'm just joking. Okay. What? Only the Toucs no what's that what I'm just joking only the Canadians

will get that only the Canadians will get that it was a yes a movie that we were forced to watch in French class every year growing up

alright Donald are you on your phone right now what the fuck are you doing I'm waiting to get into the show you guys are freaking

talking about oh so you've checked out of the show you're just on your phone you're checking your social media right now what the fuck

are you doing I'm not on my social media oh this dude's all baked You're checking your social media right now? What the fuck are you doing? I'm not on my social media. Oh, this dude's all baked fucking looking at animation videos on YouTube right now. I'm not baked anymore, dude. That shit was fucking like a half an hour ago. What time did you start? Oh, you got high a half hour ago and you're not still high?

What is that fucking quick wear off shit? We've been doing the show for over a half an hour, so it can't be a half hour ago. Wait, I didn't know that, Donald. I missed the beginning. Yeah, he's high as balls. We've lost the fucking guy. I didn't know that. I was looking for my pages underneath the deck.

By the way, Sarah, it's a perfect analogy. We all came back for season three feeling ourselves. I got a little tummy, phoning it in. I'm cocky. Donald comes into season three of the podcast big, checking his phone. Listen, hold on. Time out. Time out. Time out. Buddy, checking his phone. Listen, hold on. Time out. Time out.

Time out, buddy. Listen, I am not high right now, okay? So let's- Okay. So it's worn off. It's worn off. It's completely worn off. I am sober.

I need some of this quick wear off weed, because if I get high, I'm high for a while. It's been hours. My point is, though- That should be one of our products. Quick wear off weed by Fake Dog, True Real Friends. Oh my god, we make so much money. You can be hot, but it goes away after a half hour.

Alright. Let's start the show. Thank you. 43 minutes in, we've finally gotten to the show. So we talked about your hair already. We talked about your weight and everything like that My smack talk

George Michael in the beginning So what's the difference? You can sing George Michael As long as it's not the actual music And George Michael singing And it doesn't cost any money We had three songs in this episode This is how much Bill was feeling our budget

On season two Tom Petty, George Michael, U2. I imagine those are very expensive songs. I think we shot probably half the show's music budget in the first episode. But, yeah,

so I'm dancing, and Donald says, what's the rule about white boys dancing in public? And I go, not allowed unless you're gay. And then this amazing guy comes in and dances like crazy and does this move. And we go, morning, Steven. Which we then name our dog. Our second dog.

Oh, right, the second dead dog. But the funniest, like, right off the bat, when you're like, if I could touch your body. No, not you, sir. Yeah. As he walks by, that was really funny. It would be nice if I could touch your body. Not you, sir.

And then, okay, let's get to the basketball game. Smack talk, yeah. The smack talking. Omoja Butler, I want to say it talking. Omoja Butler. Omoja, I want to say it right. Omoja Butler. Yeah. It has probably, that joke made me laugh probably the hardest out of all of the jokes in the show.

Where he's like, I'm going to toast you so bad, your mother's not going to recognize you. And you go, oh yeah? Well, I heard your sister started drinking again. And then you're like, oh, it's not supposed to be true. And then he starts crying. And then you go, it's not supposed to be true. And then you're like, let it all out. Yeah.

You go like, let it flow or something. It's just your delivery. Yeah? Well, I heard your sister started drinking again. And I love that JD doesn't have a smack talk. He's like, oh, it's not supposed to be true. And then also, this is the episode that Frick started. Yeah, 243, everybody.

The very first Frick. Sarah, what's the genesis of Frick? I wish I remembered. I don't remember. I don't know. You didn't make it up. I don't remember. I don't know if it was me or Bill.

And then it went to double Frick and then Frick on a stick with a brick. No, it was Frick, double Frick, Frick on a stick, Frick on a stick with a brick. Frick on a stick with a brick. Yeah, it became one of Sarah's catchphrases. She finally got her What You Talking About, Willis. I got it in season three. Season three, she got her frick. I didn't get a box there, but I got a frick.

Yeah. It was a lot less expensive to give you a frick. I did get that pink cashmere Juicy Jogger set that I wore in that frick scene. I remember they let me take that home. Oh, yeah, girl. Do you remember Juicy, y'all? Do you remember Juicy? Juicyall? Do you remember Juicy? Juicy was great.

They had menswear, too. I used to have Juicy cashmere. Yeah, man. Juicy was the jam. Everybody had to. And it was sweatsuits. It was a bunch of sweatsuits and everybody was paying like $200, $300 for a sweatsuit. Yeah. Juicy. They figured it out. Juicy. They figured it out.

Juicy. So, you know, Frick comes from, you can't, you know, on TV shows and network, you're always trying to work around places where you'd actually curse. Some shows like do it and beep it, which I guess is easier if you're more documentary style, like The Office or Modern Family or something. like The Office or Modern Family or something. Some shows, The Good Place very creatively made it fork because they were supposedly in this heaven-type setting where it just automatically changes all your curses to better words. So Frick allowed Sarah to say fuck without saying fuck. There's one more place that they changed the word

and so you wouldn't say fuck, and that was Battlestar Galactica. And they said frack. And that became, are you fracking kidding me? Are you fracking kidding me right now? But did they never explain it or they just did it? They just did it. For the whole run of the show, it would be like, what the frack are you talking about?

Oh, frack. I'm what the frack are you talking about? Oh, frack. I'm going to frack you up. You can say friggin', which I always thought was a comfortable alternative. Yeah, but it doesn't have- Some people don't like friggin'. It doesn't have the power that fuck has, or frick, or frick has.

Yeah, you need the K. You need the K. Frick. You know that to make a movie PG-13, you're allowed one fuck in a PG-13 movie, and it can't be a sexual fuck. You can't be like, oh, I want to fuck her. But you can be like, what the fuck? Oh.

I didn't know that. A little trivia for you. So you have to pick your fuck. If you're directing a PG-13 movie, they're like, all right, pick your fuck. What do you want? And then next rating, you can do. R, you can say whatever you want. Say whatever you want. Yeah.

Okay. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm trying to think of the other PG-13 rules. They've probably changed. It used to be like, obviously, sex.

There were some other ones. I forgot. Drug use, maybe. I don't know all right go ahead donald uh kelso's nose squeaks the entire episode before we get to kelso's nose what about sarah losing her car door i mean that was hilarious that was right and then carrying it around the hospital with me so it doesn't get stolen now this is something that this is something that goes on this joke uh continues through other episodes

because you you later on have like a taxi cab door like a yellow door on your car and everything like that so this is a joke that continues with your brand new car am i right or am i wrong yeah that's right i forgot about that i think that's right yeah she didn't get the matching color door she just got uh it was the same door for her car but it was yellow um yeah so that i thought that was very funny um and then yeah so sorry donald go to go to kelso's squeaky nose which is very funny for the whole episode uh kelso has a squeaking nose because of the punch he received from Dr. Cox. And that shit is – yo, every time Ken would inhale, it would squeak. It's only on the inhale, though.

It's not on the exhale. It's only on the inhale. So every time he inhaled, it was weird. I love how people hate him so much that even though the room was packed, he's like, miraculously, no one saw it. No one saw me sammy in the background going like celebrating fist bumping now my dive under the gurney i replayed it a few times because i thought it was a cowboy switch same i couldn't figure out if it

was or not i i watched it for the same reason i was like was that a cowboy switch i feel like it was i feel like you came running up in the hallway from the back, then it was cowboy switch, and then you popped up. I know, but it was so seamless. It was so good. So for those of you who don't remember, a cowboy switch is when the actor who's not a stuntman is hiding, and the stuntman does something insane and then kind of goes off camera and then the real actor pops up. So J.D. does this insane sort of slide under a gurney and then I pop up. I'm pretty sure it's a cowboy switch, but man, it is seamless. You cannot tell.

It's so – like the timing of me coming up was so perfect. And you did always, for the most part, try your own falls always. So it's very plausible. I did a lot of them. But the thing about a stuntman is when there's a real chance, like, okay, you could get hurt doing this one. Like when I exit the room, that's clearly a stuntman. That's not you. He takes a really hard fall on the gurney tipping over.

So you don't want your actors breaking anything because then you can't fucking make the show so a lot of these actors also stunt people often don't get paid well they get like one rate to show up but then often they won't get more money unless they do the thing so sometimes i feel for stunt people who are like oh come on i know you want to show off and do it yourself but let me fucking do the stunt and and so I often tried to do them but but

but some of them where I could like break a hand they were like no you're not doing that I would still even not do my own stunts come once a season

two scrubs on crutches with having torn the ligaments in my left ankle I think it was about once a year and I'd be like Randall

I'm so sorry so they would like they would have me like standing behind standing beside the bed and standing in a lot of scenes and not walking for like a week. How many times did you get injured making this show? I feel like it was always my ankle, and it was never doing anything fabulous. I would come to set and be like, how did you do? And I'd be like, I was walking Lola, and I tripped on a pine cone on the sidewalk. And then it was basically the first time I did it, I was in college and my leg was crossed and my foot fell asleep

and I was in like a 500-person lecture hall and I got up to ask the professor a question and I went down on, like I went over my ankle, I rolled my ankle, and it swole up to the size of a grapefruit. And they x-rayed it and I was 19 years old and I had a growth plate that hadn't closed because I hadn't finished growing but they thought it was a hairline fracture so they by mistake put me into a plaster cast up to my knee and I went to go film an episode of the Roseanne show and she was like

Roseanne was like it doesn't make sense you would have that get that taken off and so I did even though like that's like a kid who has like you know a potentially broken foot. So Roseanne was like I don't know fuck what's wrong. Take that cast off. So they asked me to take the cast off. So I did. And the doctor down there was like, you're, it's actually a blessing in disguise because this is like a growth plate that hasn't closed.

It's not a hairline fracture. Your foot's not broken. You just sprained it really badly. And that's why it swole up so much. So Roseanne's coldness actually helped you. It was, it was such a, it was a gift, man. It's all for you. It was such a gift, man. It's all for you. I want to tell everyone about Lola,

Sarah's $7,000 dog, and we'll explain it right after these words. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast. This season will be even more revealing and more personal with more entrepreneurs, more trailblazers,

Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. And we're back! And we're back. And we're back. And we're back. And we're back. And we're back. I know I'm allowed to join in on that.

I just, I was inspired. You are, you are, Sarah. Sarah, you're just not allowed to read the producer notes, as you recall. Oh, right, which I've already done once in this episode. Okay, hold on, Donald's still going. No, but you're not high. You're not high at all, right? No, I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. Sarah, tell everyone who's listening about your $7,000 dog. And before you judge everyone, no, she didn't go buy some boutique, fancy, expensive dog. That was a big evening for us, too. What was the evening? What were we doing? Where were we? It was a charity. for us, too. What was the evening? What were we doing? Where were we?

It was a charity. Sarah, do you remember what the cause was? It was the help group. It was for autism, children with autism. And it was Jeff Zucker, who was the boss at NBC at the time. Who you remember that Donald

infamously gave the noogie to at our first party. Please, Donald, no. Please, Donald, no. So we were there, and we were excited. I think it was like season two and season one or season two. And so we went and Jeff Zucker was our boss and the night was to honor him and his contribution to the help group as well.

And so there was this little chocolate lab that they were having as part of the auction to raise money. And I just pause there. Let me just pause there. Did they have one dog or several? It was just one. All right. So I recall it was an auction, obviously, to raise money for for for autism. And they geniusly brought in this puppy that was the cutest chocolate lab puppy you've ever seen. It was like tiny. You could fit in your palm of your hands. And it was probably I don't know i'm guessing 10 weeks old and the

idea was you know we're gonna they wanted everyone and they got everyone like buzzed on alcohol and then the idea is like all right you guys are gonna bid on who gets to take home this dog and they brought they brought her around like you're saying to like to get everybody super excited brought her around and i was holding her this little chocolate brown nugget she was yeah she was like tiny she's 10 weeks old and i was holding her this little chocolate brown nugget. She was, yeah, she was like tiny. She was 10 weeks old. And I was wearing a chocolate brown dress. I remember it was my bridesmaid's dress from my sister's wedding.

And so I'm falling in love with this dog. And then the bidding starts in the room and I'm bidding on her. And the whole, I fall in love with her. So is the rest of them. Everyone's going crazy. Everyone's bidding on her. And so finally I just gave up because it was insane. It got too high.

And then the whole cast around the table, you guys all whispered to each other. And then when the bidding came to right before the ending, you all like stood up and put your arms up and got her for me. And we all split the cost of this. We each gave $1,000. Wait, hold on. How long did it take for me to pay you the $1,000? Did you ever pay her? I did pay her.

Okay. How long did it take? I don't remember. I don't remember, but it just was the most sweetest, thoughtful, touching thing ever. And she obviously, like, became our Scrubs mascot and came to Scrubs to work every day. And I loved her so much. She was very sweet. I think I paid for Lola like season eight or nine.

I finally gave the money in like... I remember whenever we had group things to chip in on like crew gifts or getting something for the crew or in this case giving money to charity for Sarah's dog.

Johnny C would pay you like an hour later. He'd be like, fast money makes fast friends. That was one of his Johnny C-isms would be like, fast money makes fast friends and then donald was the polar opposite donald would be like eight years later he'd be like yo did i ever pay you for the dog and then i remember i was the one who i was so disorganized i just would never cash the check and ken would be like sarah you haven't cashed the check yet. Oh, God. I hate those people.

Yeah, that was me. So Lola... When you went into Sarah's dressing room, I know we brought this up another time, but it was like if you've ever seen the show Hoarders, it was like that, but worse. It was sort of as if this... There was like an open soup

can from two seasons ago. It was an ad. It looked like shit suddenly exploded. It kind of is like as if this paper, as if this pages of notes was my dressing room. Right. As if this kind of like rained on notes. So poor Ken Jenkins is trying to manage his checkbook and Sarah just throws a check for $1,000 in there somewhere. This can of soup from two seasons ago is true. My nickname was Soup for Breakfast because I would always have soup all the time.

And you guys would be like, oh, it's soup for breakfast. Who has soup for breakfast, Sarah Chow? I love soup. I mean, I have my hot tea right now. There's always something hot in my hands. It's like either soup or tea or something. Yeah, but that's because you run cold. That's the only reason why.

I run cold. I have bad circulation. So Lola lived until she was 14. Oh, she died? Lola died? She did. Well, dude, she lived until she was 14. She lived until she was 14 years old.

That's pretty darn good for a lab. It's been over 14 years, I guess. Holy shit. Wow. It's been 21, yeah. Yo, this is the first episode that i that orange goo goo orange goo goo orange goo goo so i think this came from um like this was at the height of the jamba juice craze yes um which i don't used to drink i don't drink anymore because someone told me that there's

like so much sugar in them and why are are you drinking Jamba juice? But Sarah. Sarah. Wait, everybody. Oh, I'm laughing at everyone. Oh, so when Ted. Wait a second. Oh, Jesus. Is this the grease the face episode?

No, it's not. Yes, this is. No, it's not. Did you watch the episode? Yeah, but then he smoked a pot. No, I did. Come on, man. This is the. We don't say grease the face on the show.

Because the grease the face episode was when Sarah had to come in looking like really distressed and bad. She doesn't have that moment. She comes in with a makeover. She never has a moment where she looks bad. Well, they did give her plain Jane hair this episode. Like everything is accented for the reveal at the end. Yeah, but there's no moment where she was supposed to look sweaty, and we teased her saying come on, look worse than that, but there's

no moment in this episode where she was supposed to look particularly bad. And I want to hear your thoughts on your big makeover in this. I want to know what your thoughts are on this dramatic, choppy Bob. Janitor! One of the greatest scenes in the episode. What? That's one of the greatest scenes in the episode i'll

let you answer the question but that scene i wrote that down i really want to talk about the elliot and janitor we're gonna get to that but i just want to know what in the macro what did you think of this big makeover because it's always a lot of pressure when they're like oh my god it's a character makeover and you got you look hot as hell don't get me wrong coming in and your eye makeup and your bob but i just like i don't, I guess I just liked you with your little, you know, your before hair. I mean, I remember being, I remember at the time being very excited about it because, like, I remember they had me leave at lunch and I raced over town and this guy in Beverly Hills cut it and then had me race back.

And I got to wear my first pair of true religion jeans, which was very exciting to me. That was like a fancy brand at the time. It was very fancy. And then Darla Albright, our awesome makeup artist, put all this like smoky eye makeup on me. And I remember having fun and enjoying it at the time and looking back i mean i just yeah i guess i feel like you know there was a line in one of the episodes when bill liked to put truisms into our dialogue that was short hair gives me pig face and um so yeah so that sometimes i always sometimes I feel like with short hair, it gives me pig face.

I don't think you look the pig face. No. You look beautiful. You look hot. Don't get me wrong. I just – maybe I'm just not into bobs as a personal thing. I don't know. I mean don't get me wrong.

You look gorgeous. But I – Oh. I just – today, my Amazon scissors arrived in the mail. I'm now with your like near dreadlock hair. It really looks amazing. I think Daniel and Jo your, with your, with your like near dreadlock hair. It really looks amazing. I think Daniel and Joelle can weigh in.

It's pretty fancy. So I just, you know, we're in a pandemic and I ordered haircutting scissors from Amazon and I just was overly excited. And so I just tried to cut my own hair this morning. And I literally like have only had one person who lives in LA when I've gone back for recordings or whatever. I've had to cut my hair. And so I just kind of was like, I think Gregory goes something like this, and he does this.

And then my niece was like, on YouTube, if you just put your hair on a ponytail, and then you just kind of cut the top, you can kind of... So I did it. I don't know. How'd it go? We'll see. It's dry now, so I don't know. I haven't taken... We'll see. It looks a little bit longer on this side. If that fails, you can always get

to do the one cut that works for everybody. You get a bowl, and you put it over your head, and you just cut on the outline of the bowl. I didn't know this trick. So if I'm not happy with this result. It's called the mow. It's called the mow. The mow.

From the three stooges. The mow. The mow. Okay. Donald, if I'm not pleased with the results when this dries, I'm going to do that. So when Ted turns to Carla and says, so you're engaged to that surgeon girl? And she goes, yeah. He goes, is it serious?

Is it serious? No, we swing. Yes. So Ted first hit on Sarah last episode because Sarah, and then last episode you were crying and he's kind of like, do you want to get a drink? And in this episode he's trying the Carla angle. He's just really clutching at straws here.

Poor guy, man. Judy looked so beautiful in this episode, by the way. Yeah, she did. How about when she goes to seduce the, or at least blackmail, the doctor that she hooked up with, and you're waiting at the outside, and she comes out and she lowers her top like she just hooked up with him? Yeah, and Turk's like, how is that funny? Let's get to the Elliot and the janitor in the men's room.

Yeah, so funny. Janitor! Now, this is the first time we established that, because we don't know his name, that Elliot decided she's going to call him janitor. And it's always high-pitched. Janitor! And it got more high-pitched by the episode. Like this was the first one that we did that.

And then by season eight it was like, janitor! And it just kind of just like higher and higher and higher. And sometimes we would do takes where it was not even audible and we'd be like, they're probably never going to use this. But how high can we possibly pitch it? Janitor. I love that the janitor doesn't even flinch. He's just like, yeah, as though you said his name. Yeah.

Oh my God. Neil, in this scene, for some reason, some things like this scene, I remember like we shot it yesterday. It feels like so recent. I don't know why. And oh my God, he made me laugh so hard when he's talking about my grandmother that was actually my mother and my mother, my sister who was my mom. My grandmother thought she was my mother.

My sister was my mom and my brother dad. My brother dad. Not just that. When you say to him and you're like, you know, and my life's pretty much turned upside down. Do you ever feel like that? And he goes, nah, because I'm a winner. Just the fact that the janitor, the janitor of the hospital's reply is no,

because I'm a winner. I'm a winner. I wonder if like, I wonder if the janitor with, you know, because we never know when he's telling the truth or when he's lying. Maybe because he fancies Sarah that he is telling the truth. Like, we have no idea when he says this brother-dad shit if any of it's true. If he's just a fucking total liar. Neither was my brother-dad.

But I feel like with Sarah, maybe with Elliot, he was like, you know, truthful. I mean, I'm just thinking that for the first time. Well, I don't know. I think he was. I like to think he was like you know truthful I mean I'm just thinking that for the first time well I don't know I think he was I like to think he was I like to think a lot of this is a lot of what the janitor tells us is true like when he brings out the cage at

Turk and Carla's baby shower when he brings out the cage for the baby because he had one when he was a kid his parents used to throw him in when they wanted to you know what i mean but we never know you know unless you're cutting to his house like when he has a squirrel army and you actually see the squirrel army uh you know you just never know no right it's so fun to watch neil in these scenes though because he always throws in like obviously the dialogue and you know how

the writers would write or whatever Neil says and he would come up with something insanely funny on the spot but like even the stuff he does like on this scene where he just like is talking to me and he randomly smells the urinal cake just like in the middle of the line it's so odd

like it's a good vintage it's a good year I It's a good year. I laughed out loud when you see Scott Foley in the smoothie place. And he says, I thought you hated this place because of the time you got sick here. And you go, you remember that? And he goes, you got sick on my face. He's so dry. He's great in the office.

Scott Foley is the master. By the way, I think Scott Foley is coming on next episode. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because that's the SeaWorld episode, and he's down. Because that's when he forlornly rides a dolphin. But Sarah, he was your scene partner, so you can speak to this even better. But God, no one delivers a straight man line like that guy.

Just you got sick on my face. And he doesn't break ever. Yeah, never. He doesn't break. Doesn't break. No matter what, he just doesn't break. He doesn't break. Doesn't crack up.

Yeah. Oh, my God. So funny. And you so funny all over the floor and then in front of his new hot girlfriend and you're like and he goes it's okay it happens that is really funny so you think you're like oh my god this sean this is fate and then in walks like the pretty new girlfriend and you just look at her take one look at her and you puke all over the floor you know i found it really interesting that they after that they go outside with the two of them with sean and this new girlfriend for the dialogue so that you understand that he still kind of has feelings for elliot but he has to tell her that he

has the smoothies on her roof or she's going to be driving in traffic and hit the brakes and that's going to scare the shit out of her and he knows it's going to cause an accident. So he gives the, Elliot, you left the smoothies on your roof. She smashes on the brakes. Like they're meant for each other. They're perfect for each other, dude. And then orange goo goo all over

the hood of the car. And then you lose the other door with the car going by. That was fucking hilarious. I laughed out loud at that. I laughed out loud at that. And then you lose the other door with the hood of the car. That was fucking hilarious. I laughed out loud at that. I laughed out loud at that. Sarah, you're very funny. Sarah's a cool guy. Sarah Elliott's mustering everything she can

to look cute and cool in front of the new girlfriend. She does like the, what's up, drive-by with no door. And the smoothies on our roof. Double frick. And then, like, Scott Foley's delivery when we're in that scene with the smoothies. And I give some random long explanation of some dream that I had. And he's like, yeah, I'm doing about the same, too.

He's so funny. He's good. We got to do a show with him. he's so funny he's good we gotta do a show with him like when we make our space janitor uh tv show um whenever the next thing is we gotta we gotta have scott i want to do something with scott foley nobody cares sean that was so funny what do you want to do with scott foley buddy i know we should we should go to break we should go to break we should go to break do we need to go to break joelle and what about the guest guests? The guest is here. We can go to break.

I know, but with Sarah Chalk here, it's so exciting. We have so much to talk about. All right. We're going to go to break, guys, and we come back. Not only are we going to have more of America's favorite Canadian, Sarah Chalk, we are going to have a guest. And it's very hard to top last episode's guest, Joelle, because people really, really love the guy who had sex at a funeral while sitting on a toilet. So I hope that this guest

can top that. It's going to be a good one. We'll be right back. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast. This season will be even more revealing and more personal with more entrepreneurs, more trailblazers,

Alright, here we go, everybody. We're back. We're back. We're back. We're back with the delightful Sarah Chalk. The wonderful Sarah Chalk. The glorious. And here is Adam Berger. Hi, Adam.

Adam Berger! Hi, Adam. Hey. Adam Berger. Hi, Adam. Hi, Adam. You got a full house today. You got a full house. You got three interns. The king at this. Oh, my gosh.

Hi, guys. How are you, man? Welcome to the program, Fake Doctors, Real Friends. We really appreciate you being here. You must be an extraordinary guest because we had such a memorable guest in the last episode that Joelle has really upped her game. And I know she wouldn't follow last week's sex on a toilet at a

funeral with someone who wasn't worthy of following. That was hilarious. Can you tell the story that you wrote in to get on the show? Yeah, so I teach musical theater at an arts high school here in Phoenix. Go on.

And I've been a Scrubs super fan since it aired. I'm your guys' age. I'm 45, and I've been watching it since it aired. And in 2008, my class, my advanced class of high schoolers, we decided to do the Scrubs musical episode as a class. Oh, my God. That's incredible. What? my advanced class of high schoolers we decided to do the scrubs musical episode oh my god that's incredible amazing what and uh so i was obviously i knew the episode really really well and i didn't you know being a teacher i'm very uh cognizant of you know rights and royalties and stuff and i'm

like well i don't want to even work on this if i don't have permission so i uh sought out jeff marks who's one of the composers of the songs, and he did Avenue Q as well. And I found his website and I emailed him. And I didn't really expect to hear back, but he wrote me a very long email, very friendly, basically saying, you know, I didn't write everything. Deborah Fordham was the episode writer, and she wrote a lot of the stuff, too. But she said, you know, he said, you're not charging for it, are you? And I said, well, no, I'm, it's just like a class project that we're doing.

He said, then don't worry about it. Nobody's going to care. He said, we didn't even publish the music from it or anything. So I'm a pianist and a musician and I arranged all the songs. Oh my gosh. Wow, wow. I just so happened to have like

the exact right students that year, like the right demographics to do that too. And I'm like, I don't know if you guys know scrubs but i'm obsessed with it we're gonna do this really weird project and i cast it from the class and we presented it uh uh just for some uh like as a class assignment people came in and watched it was an oh that is so cool what number killed the most though oh gosh probably guy love uh really that's i mean i love classic did you have to censor you're the only man who's ever been inside of me no we look i'm very very lucky that i work at an art school where we can push the boundaries pretty well i don't have anybody

really watching over my shoulder to to censor me on stuff we've done some like edgy shows and stuff i imagine this i imagine the teenager probably didn't hold up his fist though i don't remember okay good i want to make sure i would i would have thought that the number that killed would have been the poo song but that's just me like i imagine that was a hard one to make it as funny i think because you know we're on a stage we didn't we it was very hard to stage a TV show on a theatrical stage. So a lot of the humor, I think, was lost in that. But seeing two guys up there singing Guy LaVey.

Well, that's so great. There is a Scrubs musical in development, a real one. Oh, I didn't know that. I don't even know if I'm supposed to say that, but I'll ask. I'm sure I can say that. Randall Winston, who we've had on the show and was one of our main producers, our line producer, I think he was taking the lead

on developing a Broadway musical, taking some of the songs from the Scrubs musical episode. And then of course, that's not enough to build a two and a half hour show around. So then, you know, and of course, you know, figuring out what the story of it would be. But I know that it was in the works for those of you who are interested in that. Oh my gosh, that's wild.

You could take so many of the stories and then turn them into the Scrubs musical. Like the story where we sang, I'm waiting for my real life to begin. We could add that in there. You could add so many moments where we sang into the musical I think it would be cool as JD going into fantasy in a musical world

setting could be so fun because you get to do so much cool stuff with set design and everything like that well that's cool and I'm so glad that you seem like a really fun teacher Adam I went to a high school where, a public high school in New Jersey, Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, and it wasn't cool to be in plays. And I did have a great drama teacher who I liked a lot,

but I was a self-conscious teen and I was doing all I was doing all of my theater stuff outside of school. I was going to a theater camp. I was participating in sort of community theater stuff. But I was too self-conscious, I regret, to be in the school plays. And so I know you're at an art school, so it's a different world. But I just love it when I hear about great teachers like you who are inspiring kids to perform. Well, I'm really lucky because, like I said, we get to do some really cool stuff there. I really try to think outside the box and do weird stuff that no other school would do so that we don't have that problem of students only wanting to go out and do community theater stuff that they want to do our shows every year.

So, like I said, we've been able to do some really cool, edgy things over the years without really anybody intervening. And, you know, one of the things we pride ourselves on as a school is that, you know, the whole student body are kind of the outcasts. You know, they're kind of, you know, the coolest kid at our school is,

you know, might be the star of the musical instead of the star of the football team. That's why I flourished at theater camp. That's why I was like, oh, because I was like, I was good at being in plays. So I was like the cool kid. I was like, finally. I want to go back in time and come to your high school, Adam.

Oh, I get that a lot. Sarah, did you do plays? I mean, I know you were a kid actor, you were working, but did you participate in any school plays? I did. We actually did get to do really pretty cool musicals at our high school. And I was an Annie. And they didn't seem to mind that I was tone deaf, unlike some other musicals.

Yeah, but you got rhythm, though. You can dance, though. You can dance, Sarah. We've seen you dancing, Sarah. I can dance, Adam. Although all of your dancing turns very sexual quickly. Can you dance in a non-provocative manner? I can do the robot that's very non-provocative.

That's true. Sarah, that is true. Sarah always starts off, it's always like, and the robot, robot, robot, robot, robot, robot. But then the robot always ends up like touching your body. Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty. I have known Sarah for 20 years, and when she starts dancing, it's about five seconds before there's like ass and like backing up.

Oops, I dropped something. That just comes from my like grade 12 parent teacher. I mean, grad parent event night where we all did Babies Got Back. It just sort of like. It just comes out of nowhere. I feel like if Sarah had TikTok, like if we were all teenagers with TikTok, she'd be one of those people doing the provocative TikTok.

She would be doing the savage. She'd be like, I'm a savage. Snacky, boozy. Okay, okay. I was born at the wrong time, guys. One of my favorite things from the series is the clip show where they do the entire runner of all you guys dancing in different episodes.

I mean, everybody on that show is having so much fun. I don't remember that. We did have a clip show. I've never seen the clip show, but I know we had one. I only know because the thing that's great about a clip show is I think you still get paid for an episode, but you don't do anything. You guys will have to do a podcast if you're a club show. They did a runner of dances.

They did a runner of like, I think they did a runner of you crashing into things. I think they did a runner of Dr. Cox's insults too. I'm not sure. Yeah, it's funny. Well, Sarah and Donald did most of the dancing because the two of them are very, very good dancers.

I'm good at running into stuff and falling over stuff. I wish I could sing. I loved it. And I was in musicals as a kid. My sister and I went to a musical theater kind of school outside of school. And we auditioned for it. And they called and they said to my sister, we love you and we want you to be the lead. And they said, she said, what about Sarah? And they were like, yeah, my sister we love you and we want you to be the lead and they said uh she said what about sarah and they were like yeah no we don't want her um and so she said

okay then i'm not i'm not gonna do it and she hung up and they called back five minutes later and they were like okay we really want you so we're gonna take your little sister as well so natasha was the lead and she was wearing this like turquoise shiny thing with this long blonde hair and i was one of three tigers at the back that was wearing um all black and i had a tiger mask and we were just like in the background kind of side to side with our claws didn't have any lines and i was in heaven i was like i'm on stage doing it i wanted so badly zach to get to new york to see bullets over broadway when it was there because i'm a wish you had. Because I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. I'm a huge Scrubs fan.

And of course, my celebrity crush is Betsy Wolfe. Oh, that's a good celebrity crush to have. I know. I saw her in Last Five Years. Me too! At second stage, right? Maybe we were there the same night. Who knows? Oh my god. You can listen to that album if you like musicals. It's a wonderful show called

Last Five Years, and there's a recording of Betsy Wolfe in it. Bullets Over Broadway was one of the most, you know, I was a theater geek kid, as we're discussing. I went to theater camp. I did plays out of college and off Broadway. But being in a full-blown, like, big-budget musical with a 25-piece orchestra, I literally, my entrance was literally rising through the stage playing a ukulele. It was such a surreal, it was like a total kid dream fruition bucket list thing happened. And I want to do it again one day.

It was just too much fun. Did you ever mess up coming up on the stage when you were coming up playing that song did you ever come on and be like ain't i bring well a couple things first of all if you for most of you who didn't see the show um the show is happening and it begins with with uh with another number and then i enter rising so i would go down underneath the stage before the show because i was nervous as hell. And every show, no matter how many we did. And I'd say hello to the conductor and sort of wave to the orchestra because they were down there. And then I'd go over to where my lift was. And I'd sort of talk to the crew guys and shoot the ship.

And then a light goes on, which means the lift is about to go. which means the lift is about to go. And I would always get so nervous because it's such a crazy way to enter the stage. Most of the times in a normal budget world, you're just entering from the wings of the stage. But here we are at a big budget musical show and the light goes off and I start rising and then you just see like 2,500 people watching you.

And so of course there were times when I would totally fuck up the ukulele because I'm not a musician, but I learned to play this one song on the ukulele. What I later learned was there was a guy in the orchestra pit who was also playing the ukulele. And depending on how much I was sucking, they would kind of bring up his mixer or bring down my mixer. Like if I was really fucking off that day, they would just bring up the orchestra pit ukulele. Oh, yeah, that's amazing.

Donald, did you ever do theater in high school? I did high school theater. Well, not high school. I went to the professional children's school, so everybody that I went to school with was already on Broadway and doing shit like that, so we didn't really have a theater at the school. But, yeah, when I graduated, I did shows with the theater for a new audience i did shows off off off broadway off broadway i did show there was a i grew up uh in hell's kitchen new york and

on 42nd between 9th and 10th avenue there was this whole theater complex this theater thing called theater row and it was a bunch of different is that playwrights horizons was there yeah that was there too but it was a bunch of different uh play playhouses and stuff like that it's no longer there now there's like a a building and stuff like that with uh tenants and stuff but i remember when i was a kid i'd be like one day i'm gonna do a show there i wound up doing two shows there you know what i mean like it was it's one of those things where if you grew up in new york city like i did and you weren't doing plays then you weren't really trying to be an actor because that was all that was there. You know what I mean?

That was all, you know, it was either that or it was the one you might get lucky and get on a New York undercover. But for that, there were like 2,000 people auditioning for one line. You know what I mean? So, yeah. Did I do plays? I did quite a few know what I mean? So, yeah. Did I do plays? I did quite a few plays. I came up in a theater. My parents were a part of the National Black Theater in Harlem.

And so instead of a babysitter, I used to have to sit in the audience while my parents performed on stage. And I remember one of the actors started complaining because, you know, put me in an audience with a bunch of people, I'm part of the show started complaining because, you know, put me in an audience with a bunch of people. I'm part of the show now. I don't give a fuck what you say. You know what I mean?

Like, it started off. It started. The first night I was fine. But once it got to the point where I was there every night, I was like, oh, I'm in this shit too. I'm just not getting paid. I can't imagine you sitting there quietly. That's not the time.

It was impossible. Like, I would get involved. Like, I would get up out of my chair and help the actors and you know like at one point they would sit me down next to one of the actors in the show and i'd be having a conversation with the actor while the show was going on and one time he missed his cue because he was fucking with me and he got in trouble for that shit like at that point i knew right then and then i was very young i was like five four or five i knew right then and there, and I was very young. I was like five, four or five. I knew right then and there, I was like, I'm going to be an actor, dude.

This is, if it wasn't for plays, I wouldn't be an actor. You know what I mean? I knew right then and there, this is the life I want to live. I want to be able to do this because one, I have a lot of fun. And two, this doesn't seem as hard as everybody says it is. And, you know. Well, well i mean in fairness to yourself it seemed that way to you because you had a your parents were doing it you had a natural instinct for it you you you know it's well that's of course it's nature nurture you you then nurtured

that ability but you obviously had it in you as a child right well you know some people are i honestly believe that some people are born everybody's born to do what they do some people find what they do later on some people find what they do early on but you're born to do what you do you know what i mean whether it is to be an actor whether it is to be a politician whether it is to be whatever you're given a certain set of skills i'm just sound like liam neeson i have a certain set of skills some some people are assassins right but no but i feel like you're given a certain set of skills and it's up to you to take it as far as you want to go with it you know what i mean uh sometimes the gift that you have isn't the gift that you want you know what i mean and you have to come to grips with that and that's usually what happens but

uh for the most some people some people aren't blessed enough to know what their passion and thing is for a long time i mean you were you were so blessed because it happened to be the thing that your parents were exposing you to i was was the same way. My father was doing community theater as his hobby, and I kind of was like, this is a job you can have? This is something you can do? But, I mean, there's so many people, and I feel for them. I mean, I talk to college kids who are getting out of college, and they still haven't found their thing,

and they haven't dropped into something that excites them. So I always feel really, really blessed and lucky that i was at a young age exposed to something that so lit me up adam do you have a question for us i do i have uh i've got a million of them but i'll start with well pick one because we we're running very long today because uh you know the the canadian is a little, you know, so excited. So my question is this, uh, I, I, my all time favorite episode of scrubs and probably my all time favorite episode of any television. So it was the series eight finale, which is just a perfect, perfect episode of television for us fans, you know, for the way that it wrapped it up. I wrote it. I wrote it out.

Thank you. I don't think that's true, you know, for the way that it wrapped it up. I wrote it. I wrote it, Adam. Thank you. I don't think that's true. I'm just kidding. It was interrupting Bill. It was interrupting Bill. But my question is, you know, what other shows, I wanted to hear from all of you, what other shows in your, you know, in fandom that you've enjoyed, do you feel like the finale absolutely knocked it out of the park? I'll go first. I'll go first. I call firsties.

Go for it, Zach. In the history of television, and as Donald seemed to be dissing me for early in the broadcast, I have watched a lot of television. And in the history of television, there is no contender for best series finale ever.

Don't at me. Don't dwell. Don't at me. Joel, don't frown. Six Feet Under. Thunderous applause, Dan. Thunderous applause. Thunderous. Are you turning your key, though?

Bob, turn your key. I will turn my key. Only because I've only seen the last episode of Six Feet Under. No. Are you serious? Stop it. Are you serious? Are you serious? I'm dead serious. That was a pretty dope one.

Dead serious. Get it? That's the only one? But then didn't see that finale? No, this has become a theme. We've learned, Sarah, the same thing with Breaking Bad. We learned that he only watches finales. Somebody else go. Six Feet Under, if you haven't watched it, is an incredible show, and the finale is just a masterpiece. Sarah, you want to go?

I want to go. I agree with you. I thought Six Feet Under was bonkers. I feel like The Office, both British and American versions, had incredible finales. ER was a million years ago, but I remember thinking that one was awesome. And I agree with you, Adam. The Scrubs for Now is one of my favorite Scrubs episodes that we got to do. It was so cool for us to get to make that episode because Bill had this really cool idea of having every person who had

ever guest starred on the show come back. So like that day, everybody was so emotional anyways, because it was the last episode. And, and then to have every guest star and then Zach walks down that hallway and we got to go down while we were filming that scene and like, just see everybody lined up for the past eight years. And, you know,

there's a couple of people that couldn't make it, but for the most part, I mean, all those people made an effort to get there and people flew in from New Yorkork and from wherever they were living or shooting at the time and um it was so special it was very emotional and i i don't know if you know the trivia adam but it's but it's bill lawrence playing the janitor oh yes who pulls down the sheet yep um you go okay joelle go ahead favorite sarah sarah it, morphed it and started making it five or six

Joel, the game is when he says best finale what's the thing that pops to your brain? because that's what happened to me with Six Feet Under Boardwalk Empire if you've watched all, I think it's five seasons of it, it's so concise and the final scene is like

the whole show is about being in the 20s and right at the very final scene there's the introduction of Nickelodeon which is an early movie thing that you could pay a nickel and watch a movie and it's very small or whatever and it totally changes the game for this old cat who thought

he would never see anything new and then there's a twist and I won't tell you what it is. No spoilers, please, Joelle. I'm so sorry. It's so freaking good. Martin Scorsese produced it. It's like a mid-2000s show. Martin Scorsese directed the pilot as well. Yes, he did. You should definitely... Oh, it's such a good series. But the finale is really good. I will

give no spoilers for Six Feet Under finale other than to say that you've got to listen to the Sia song, Breathe Me, because it's in there. Be my friend. Holy shit, is that a great song. Okay, Daniel, go. The one that instantly popped into my head is The Sopranos.

Yay. Oh, yes. Okay. Now, there was a lot of talk about people having interpretations. Do you have your interpretation? I mean, I think that's kind of the goal. That was the goal. I think it was kind of the goal. That was the goal. I think it was David Chase, right?

David Chase is the... Yeah, so David Chase, that's what he wanted to have happen kind of with the ending of La La Land, with the twist top at Inception. You want to defy the convention of putting a very concise, nice bow on it and allow people to keep the story

just in their heads for so long. And I'm certainly of the people who think, again, no spoilers, but I think the ending is relatively clear. I think we all know what happened. But I like that that is left to the imagination. And I will also never forget watching the finale with my father, being downstairs. We were both just like gripping the couch,

counting down the minutes, being like, this show's going to be over shortly. This show's going to be over shortly. Like, what's going to happen? And then in that final minute of whatever the show is, trying not to spoil it,

both of us just like... I think you can spoil the... I mean, yeah, I guess the ending doesn't happen. It's about whether or not the guy dies. It just cuts. Hard cut. Don't cuts. Hard cut. Don't stop.

Hard cut. For 30 seconds of just black screen. And both me and my dad are just like, bleh. Did the cable go out? Bleh. Bleh. And then executive producer.

I love a hard cut to black. Don't fade out your show. Love it. Yeah, produce the whole thing. No, I mean, I'm just a sucker. Whether it's theater or film and TV, I don't like a fade. Like blackout or hard cut to black. End that shit.

Feel you. Now, I'm going to be cynical and say the reason I think he's alive is there's no way that they didn't have plans to make films eventually. Unfortunately, James Gandolfini died in real life, but I don't think there's any scenario where they didn't daydream about making films. So I'm just going to throw that out there. I totally – can I tell you something? I totally accept that as a like – but you know how it really goes kind of studio thing. When people were talking

about avengers and how like are they really dead like are they really gone people like no they're not gone they have more movie deals like obviously spider-man's not gone blah blah blah i mean you know obviously that changes now because of you know you know r.i.p chadwick but like i think it's very reasonable to look at and say you think they were really gonna end the show there you think they were really gonna end it there show there? You think they were really going to end it there? Whether or not the movie deals coming afterwards would have been prequels or whatever, blah, blah, blah. I think that's totally fair. But I still love that finale for this exact reason that we're talking about it.

She's got all of these Maseratis and Bentleys all in the driveway.

Is it like a mansion? Yes, it's a mansion. That this queen of the con uses to scam some of the biggest names in professional sports out of untold fortunes. About six million. Approximately 11 million dollars. Nearly 10 million dollars was all gone. Employing whatever means necessary to bleed her victims dry. She would probably have sex with one of her clients.

Listen to Queen of the Con, Season 5, The Athlete Whisperer, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Donald, you're up. I'm embarrassed by my shows because you guys don't – I don't watch the same type of television shows you watch,

but my favorite finale so far, wow, in television shows? That's tough. That's tough for me. I'm sorry. It could be sports like the last game of the Knicks. I'll tell you what. In terms of television moments, those are some of the greatest of all time. Any last second shot.

Game 7 buzzer beaters are just like. Is there a particular Game 7 buzzer beater you like, Donald? No, no, no, no, no. You know, I'm one of those cats who is really heavily into a certain genre. And so I'm sure my favorite episode finale has got to be like the Rebels. The Rebels finale was pretty dope, actually.

Yeah, it was. Joelle agrees. She got a woo. And now that Clone Wars has come to a finale, I like that finale. That was pretty good too. But yeah. You don't have to be embarrassed that it's animation. You seem like you're like shy about it.

Well, you guys are all sitting here like six feet under. And the Sopranos and, oh, God, Boardwalk Empire. Oh, and let me tell you something. That's Scrubs finale. And then I come up and I'm like, the rated 14th show. Well, you don't want, you've said you don't watch that much narrative TV.

So there you go. I don't. Alright, it's time for America and Canada's favorite segment. Sarah, you haven't participated in this yet. So we're really going to need you to represent. You're going to need to represent your nation. Adam, it's time to fix your life. All right, Adam, we've helped a lot of people here.

And by a lot, we mean no one. But anyway. No, we have helped people. Do you hear back from people? No. No, but I have heard. you know what I have heard? I've heard people say on my social media, hey, that advice you gave so-and-so actually really helped me with something. Like the whiteboard stuff or our stuff about trying to lose weight or even helping last week's – last episode's guy with an issue with his kid.

So I don't know. Maybe not. But this goes to so many people across the world i like to think that something we say might register with a few people and they go oh maybe i will try that so adam adam you're up okay so the uh you know the last six months have been crazy for everybody. And, you know, I had two really fantastic jobs in the arts. I was so lucky to do exactly what I want to do. And, you know, I've got a great wife and three little boys and just everything is, you know, great. And then the pandemic hits and the theater that I work at shut down and my classroom is gone and I'm doing it online. And all of my little boys are doing their schooling online. And it's just, you know,

I'm in perfectly good headspace. I know there's people suffering a lot more than me who are not getting paid or who are not, you know, they have severe mental health issues because of this. But it is very tough. And I've never in my life kind of experienced these moments of like, oh my gosh, I can't keep it together. What is anybody's advice for just staying sane with the country being where it is right now and no end in sight? How old are your boys?

I have three. I have nine. My oldest just turned nine and I have a five-year-old and a three-year-old. Wow. You guys have your hands full. I mean, to be at home

all day, everybody's home. Yep. That's really good. The best advice. Sarah, do you have any advice for... What do you... I think the best thing with advice is to say what works for you. So, Sarah, you've been in a very similar situation. She, for a while, I don't know

if you're still doing it, she was cohabitating with her sister and their kids. So how do you stay sane, Sarah, with all the mayhem of COVID and having to help your kids with homeschooling and all that? Well, I don't know. I don't know if you would say I'm staying sane. I mean, I just cut my own hair with my scissors that arrived in the mail. So that's debatable. But I think the best advice I was given, and it's really hard to take the advice, is just take it day by day because that you can do. That's totally doable. It's when you go like, I find myself bargaining all the time going, oh yeah, I can fully do this for six months. Okay, fine. I can do it for a year, but just not two. Okay. Two years, but that's fucking it. Not a day more.

And so I think like, if there's a way to try and find ways to stay in the moment, in the day, only what's in front of you, that has helped. I think like, especially with kids, I mean, we, I have a 10 year old and a four year old and I am officially homeschooling them, which is brand spanking new. I've never done that before, and we made the decision to do that. The schools have opened up here now, but we're keeping them home so that everyone can stay safe and healthy. And so one thing that we found that's really cool that someone recommended to me is something called Outschool.com. And you can go on there and do like anything your kids are interested in. Like if you just need a break, it's like sign language class or like sketching DC or a debate class where you debate like Marvel versus DC characters.

And so we're doing that. Another thing we're doing is trying to like farm out a few things. So like, you. So have my uncle portal in and do a class on something. I can come in and teach a class on something, Sarah. You're going to be doing that. I'm taking you up on that.

I'm hitting you up on that. And now a class with Uncle Zach. And Danil and Joelle and Donald. I'm going to need a class also. And Adam. I'm going to respectfully decline and say I don't want to teach nobody's kids. I know class also. And Adam, you need to teach us musical theater. I'm going to respectfully decline and say I don't want to teach nobody's kids. I know you do,

but Donald, you need to teach us the stop motion animation. Your stuff is amazing. I appreciate that. I appreciate that, but I'm going to respectfully decline. I don't want to teach

nobody else's kids but my own right now. I shouldn't be having to teach my own kids right now to be honest with you, but I'm helping with them. I'm just, you know what?

All right, Donald. Why don't you go and say'm helping with them. You know what? I don't. Why don't you go and say how you're teaching. First of all, I want to give a shout out to all the teachers out there. Yes. With all respect and all kidding aside, let's give a shout out to all the teachers out there who are actually teaching their kids online and teaching their kids. The teachers that are actually going into schools and teaching students there, too. Let let's give a shout out to them because you're absolutely right you are on the front lines and you are doing work that is very important you are teaching tomorrow's leaders and you're doing it with a fucking really bad handicap you know what i mean and so

shout out to all of you out there who are doing it um what are we doing to stay safe and i mean to stay sane to stay sane uh one stay safe two uh that's really difficult you know living we live in the valley and in the sherman oaks area and you know los angeles was hit really hard with COVID. And, you know, for a really long time, I kept the kids inside and all we did was watch television and stuff like that. And that really wasn't that wasn't an ideal thing for us to do. But recently we've found ways to go to parks. We've parted with a couple of families.

So the kids have friends to go play with and stuff and uh the way for us to stay safe is try to be as normal as possible in these abnormal times uh and without crossing the line and being uh and and and not being safe so that's how for example i see you know on your instagram you got your kids into golf um which is something you like and they like. So that's a thing you can do outside of the house together as a group that's fun for everybody. That's something you do, right? Right. Well, yeah.

I mean, there are very few sports that you can do where there's no contact or you can socially distance. And so as a family, yeah, we got into golf. We go over to Zach's house when he's not home and we swim you know what i mean but for it's tough adam i'm gonna be honest with you man this is a this is one of those things where it's like where you can find your happiness and where you can find your joy you grab onto it and you freaking hold it tight and you and you and you live in that space until this is over because it's not like that. We can go outside and just do whatever the heck we want right now. That's not something we can do.

I like that you didn't curse because he's a teacher. That was really cute. My, my respected coming. Yeah. He was like, but first of all, when do you ever not curse?

But because he's like a high school teacher, we're like, heck, heck. Um, I'm going to add them. I'm going to say something that might be tricky for you because you have kids. And that is that meditation has really helped me. There's a lot of different apps

that are out there. I'm just going to shout out Headspace because that's the one that's worked for me. And if you're listening and you go, I'm not going to fucking meditate, what the hell is he talking about? Um, I, I guarantee you that if you, all you need to do is find 20 minutes, they actually even have shorter ones if you can only find 10 or 15, but I think 20 minutes is, is, is what I've noticed. I get the most out of it. So I know out of my respect, I don't have kids. I know it's tricky, but if you can have your wife take over for 20 minutes and you go hide, even in your car, wherever you can get your bedroom, wherever you can be and just sit and listen to this app. And they have different programs. It can be for anxiety. It can be for insomnia. It can be for relationships. They have like theme, theme, theme packs. And, um, I have found when I do that

every day, 20 minutes in the morning, it really does keep my anxiety and my stress levels lower. It's noticeable. And if you do try this, don't go try it once and go, oh, my brain was wandering all over the place. Fuck that thing. No, like anything, it takes practice. It's like you're not going to go and try and play golf with day one and suck. It takes practice. But little by little, your mind does quiet.

And then ultimately, you're kind of sitting there and of course it wanders a little bit, but you bring it back and you focus on your breath. And it's, it's, it's made a noticeable difference in my life. So there you go. You're welcome, Adam. You're welcome, Adam. You're welcome. Thunderous applause for us, Dan. Adam, thank you so much. Thank you for being an educator. Thank you for being there for young people and for inspiring them. And I'm sure the kids don't tell you enough, even though you might have nice kids, but I hope the kids, I hope that you get that you're making a difference in their lives. Well, if I could say one more thing, I hope you guys understand how important your podcast is. I mean, this came about almost right as COVID started, as you know, and I started

taking walks in the morning before the kids are up just to get a little bit of exercise and just to get out of the house. And so I've been taking walks and I listened to the podcast and I never really understood the expression that something brings a smile to your face. I always thought it was kind of a metaphor, but when your podcast comes on and that theme song kicks in and like a smile comes to my face, I don't even realize that I wasn't smiling until it happens. It's like Pavlov. It just, it comes up and bam, I'm smiling on my walk every single time. That makes us so happy. Entertainment is our savior right now.

That makes us so happy. And E! News, the very fancy entertainment station, agrees with you. I don't know if you said that you heard that we were a very, very popular podcast. No, but thank you. I have to confess to you that Donald and I and Joelle and Daniel, we listen to the episode back and make edits. And so I sometimes listen to it while I'm walking my dog. And I've seen people write on our social medias like, oh, my God, I'm laughing out loud so hard. People are looking at me. And there's times where I'm listening to our early version, the draft before we edit it. And I'm walking my dog and I'm sitting there fucking laughing out loud at us. edit it and I'm walking my dog and I'm sitting there fucking laughing out loud at us. And I know that's shameless because I'm laughing at us. But anyway, it makes me so happy to hear that it's making a difference in people's lives. So thank you, Adam. And we're going to let you go now. But thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank you, guys. Keep up the great work.

Bye, guys. Thank you. Thanks so much. Be well. Oh, Joelle, that was such a wonderful guest in a different way. Because no, he wasn't banging on a toilet at a funeral. Oh, God. But he was a wonderful teacher who inspires the youth. Inspires the youth. He did your musical.

Yeah. I love it. That's really cool. And the fact that he wrote the music to it and figured it all out on the piano because that didn't exist. That's so cool. Let's talk about, first of all, Laddie, the x-ray tech. Pirates of the Caribbean!

He's in Pirates of the Caribbean? He's the one that hangs out with the dude whose eye keeps popping out. Is that true? Yeah, it's true. Sean Whalen. Joel, will you double check that? 97% sure that's Bob. Do you know where I know Sean Whalen from? This is a really good piece of trivia. Where?

Do you remember one of the best ads of the last however many years when the guys had too much peanut butter? And he's like, Aaron Burr, Aaron Burr. They call him from the radio show. And his room is surrounded with trivia and memorabilia about Aaron Burr. And the radio show is calling him. And they go, for $1,000, who is the man who shot Alexander Hamilton? I mean, it's like his moment to shine.

Because it's like his whole life is dedicated to Aaron Burr. And he calls, and he just ate a peanut butter. Aaron Burr, Aaron Burr. And they're like, we're sorry, sir. We're going to have to Aaron Burr. And he calls, and he just ate a peanut butter. Aaron Burr! Aaron Burr! And they're like, we're sorry, sir. We're going to have to let you go. Anyway, hilarious ad. You can watch it on YouTube.

That was Sean Whalen. Was he also in Pirates? Joel Monique. He was in all three. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's him. But it's, sorry, is Sean Whalen spelled different? W-H-A-L-E-N. Like a whale. Okay.

Laddie. And then, of course, the My Machines guy. My Machines. My Machines. My Machines. Loved it. He's very funny, and that was a funny bit. And then, Sarah, I love the montage of you uh getting to you know tearing your your

kitten poster off the wall and then putting it back up and then putting it back up like i'll destroy my room but that's like one step too far but no not only get the cat poster back up but you destroyed it you like ripped it up. But you destroyed it. You like ripped it up and then you tape it with like black duct tape and shit like that to put it back up. The shot of you...

I love that that's like Elliot's room. Yeah. I know your room was so bubble gummy little teen girl. I know. And she's hugging a teddy bear.

Where did you get the money from to have all of that when your parents cut you off and stuff? Remember? Like all of a sudden... I feel like that's from when they had me back still on i was still on the like that's like it's like frozen in time it's like elliot's things from when she was 12 right all of the all

of the yeah yeah i guess she took all of her tchotchkes from her from her youth she got cut off right well that was that was really fun and it's's cut to Tom Petty, American Girl. Raised on promises. Yeah. I join in, but nobody would appreciate that. Finally gets her hot, sexy, scrubs chick entrance down the hallway. The classic from the feed up, smoky eye. Slow-mo. Slow-mo.

And then how about a loma? I thought another funny thing that made me laugh was when everyone's kind of just doing their own thing because they can tell when Kelso's coming because of his nose squeak. And now Cox has fixed the nose squeak, but they don't know. And they cut to everyone just being lazy. And the janitor is giving a loma a massage. Back around. Back rub.

I didn't know until this moment that the janitor and Nurse Roberts were close enough for him to be giving her a – And it's like the choppy kind of like the chop chop. The chop chop. That's amazing. Or when Aloma says to me, I'm going for a vice, and she goes, it's also because you're very white. Yes. She goes, why do you call me marshmallow? Is it because I'm soft and sensitive or something?

She goes, sure. It's also because you're very white. And then Sean comes in at the end. Oh, heartbreaking. Damn. And you're like, damn. Damn. I didn't see.

I'm at the point now where I don't see J.D. and Elliot getting together, though, on the show. Even though I know what happens at the end, it feels like at this point in the show that the two of them getting together isn't a isn't a possibility they don't they don't they're not on the same page anymore so at the end when sean when he says to her you look beautiful and then sean steps out i didn't see that coming i didn't see jd reacting to her the way he reacted and i knew sean would come back but i didn't see that happening. Well, I mean,

it's interesting because not only is, is JD attracted to Elliot a new, obviously, cause she's done a, she looks great and she's done this makeover, but it's also cause he's, he's turned on by seeing her be a bad-ass. Right.

She's so tough. Finally fucking being tough and standing up for herself. Right. And he's like, holy shit, this is, this is, this is a new woman.

Who's this woman? I'm intrigued. Then all of a sudden, fucking Scott Foley, Nobody Cares Sean. Comes in in a blue tight sweater. Yeah. When did Nobody Cares Sean come in? Oh, it's in his first episode that he says, Nobody Cares Sean. When we're at the, yeah, is that when we're at the, where are we when you say that?

No, it's his very first episode he's in. Nobody cares, Sean. I forgot when. By the way, just to clarify something, the My Machines guy is Lee Ehrenberg. That's the guy who's in Pirates. I was talking about Sean Whalen, and that's the Ehrenberg commercial guy who plays Laddie, who's a different x-ray tech. He's the one I lie on top of naked because he wants to get an x-ray

that looks like he's x-rayed a Siamese twin. You remember that? That guy is hilarious. He's in so many commercials. That's the point I'm making. That's the guy. That dude's in everything. Yeah, absolutely.

He's been in a lot of commercials. Okay, but Lee Ehrenberg is the one you're thinking of who's in Pirates. Another funny moment is Johnny C when he's with the prison inmates and he's asking him to keep the photo of his son of who's in Pirates. And another funny moment is Johnny C. when he's like with the prison inmates and he's asking him to keep the photo of his son. That's so random. Yeah, but I never said,

why is Johnny C. showing people pictures of his son? That's right. Why would you ever? Not only did he bring the picture, he has it out. Like, is he showing every prisoner he's giving a physical to? Because he misses his kid. I do have to say I got goosebumps when we finally figure out that it's familial Mediterranean fever.

Yes. I'm such a sucker for those moments where we as young doctors go, Eureka, we got it. Like, we figured it out. Like, I mean, it's funny. I'm watching us, but I gave myself goosebumps. I love the fact that Dr. Cox takes the credit for it at the end, too. Yeah. Yeah, that's amazing. Right after he says it was all

you guys. Yeah, right after he says that shit. But... I didn't understand. That's the one thing I didn't understand. The whole episode he's telling you not to rely on him, but he's relying on us

the whole episode. He's saying to us, don't rely on me. I'm not going to be here for you all the time. Don't rely on me. But he's relying on us to come up with this diagnosis so that he can go into the room at the end and take all of the credit for it. Well, I think maybe that's sort of what Bill's doing in the writing in season three is like, it's going to start being a tit for tat, yin yang, if you will, situation where there's going to be times where we're helping him look good. And he's going to, of course, going to be saving our asses still. And we're, we're getting, we're getting a little more experience, uh, where we can become a little more closer to being his peer or he doesn't have

the time. I mean, he's, he's got so much on his plate and he kind of, you know, he's still keep in mind. He's still, even though he's aggressive and confrontational, he's still our teacher. So he's like, you guys, he's still our teacher. So he's like, you guys got to do the work. You guys got to stay late and figure it out. And then, of course, he gives them love, good work. That was a good get. And then he goes and takes credit for it because that's him.

Right, because it's his – And then he's the big cheese. Did we ever go – do we ever recap that – like one of the funniest parts of this show is when you go in at the beginning and you're like, I know everybody so well, I know what they're going to say. And then you're like replacing Donald's and Judy's and, and Johnny sees dialogue. You put your earbuds in. I love that part. You did it.

Johnny. Thank you, sir. What's that? Don? He did a good Johnny. You honor me. You honor me.

I'm sorry to steal Dan's. What you're talking about? Well, let's again, but I really liked it. Take it. You honor me by taking it. I'm going to take it, Dan.

I won't use it on the podcast that much, but I'm going to start using it in my real life. Brother, I hope you do. Do I honor you by taking it? Most certainly. You honor me. You were deservant of a compliment. Donald and I have a special announcement. Just so you all know who are listening, because the DMVs are all closed, or I think most of them are, a lot of them are,

and other reasons because of COVID, voter registration is very far down, apparently over 2 million down from what it normally is in a presidential year. So Donald and I are teaming up with a cause called Headcount. Now, what I want you to do is watch you when this podcast is over. You can go to our social medias where we will have links to this. But if you don't want to go to social media or you're not on social media, you can go to headcount.org backslash Zach and Donald. Now, what's going to happen? You are going to register or just check your registration. If 1,500 of you do this, drumroll. That is either registering for the first time. You can stop the drum roll, Donald. Sorry, sorry.

Thank you. Either registering for the first time or just checking that you are in fact registered because a lot of people get purged every year. 1,500 of you do it. Donald and I will do a video where we teach you how to make an appletini. Yo. And then we will drink said appletinis. You don't even like appletinis, Zach. Hold on a heck of a minute. What's that? I thought you didn't even like appletinis.

I don't even like it. I don't mind vodka, but I will drink them for America. Wait, hold up. I think we should make a real appletini, though. Not the generic where you get the freaking puckers and you just pour the puckers into the uh to the okay what you want to get gourmet i want to i think we should

get freaking straight up mixologist on this bad boy well we have flo who's a chef she can help us with that okay she she knows how to mix drinks too oh yeah does she ever let me tell you something you guys i got inspired by flo actually because she did one of these and she said to her followers on Insta and Twitter, if 500 of you register or check your registration, I'll cook a Sunday roast,

which is a big traditional British meal. She registered 7,500 people. Damn. What? And you guys, I'm competitive, and I need you to help me beat my girlfriend, okay?

So all Donald and I are asking is for 1,500. If it ends up being more than that, then that will be great, and we'll all feel wonderful about it. This is nonpartisan, so don't get your panties in a bunch. This is just trying to get people to register, okay? And trying to get people to vote.

Right. Don't get all political with this bullshit and be like, you guys are so political. No, we just want you to vote. Please. We want you to vote. We want you to vote, Civic County. It's just Civic, dude. It's your American right to vote.

So go now, okay? If you're listening to this, wherever you are, you're going to either go to our social media on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook, if that's easiest for you. If not, go to headcount.org backslash Zach and Donald. Don't do this somewhere else because we want credit for you checking your status or registering. We want credit. I did it just now. Super easy. Okay.

Thank you, Daniel. That's one. We have one. Gotcha. Dude, we are halfway there. Well, no. We are 1-1-, we are halfway there. Well, no, we are. We are 1-1,500th away there.

What's the address again? Headcount.org backslash Zach and Donald. Or if it's easier for you, go to our social medias on Instagram. It'll be in our bios. On Twitter, we'll both be tweeting it out. And please help us beat... Samuel Jackson did it. We want to beat him, too. Josh Gad just did it.

So we are going to teach you how to make an appletini that's just the most perfect one. And then he and I, because we're in the same pod at this point, we can be together and share a cocktail. We are going to share cock... tails tails it sounded dirty no

matter how it looked dude we are going to share listen me do again I'll make it I'll make it even more sexual we are going to share some cock tails I mean Sarah laughs I am so excited to share some cock tails I don't like it I cannot wait to just have some of your cock

tails alright sorry Joelle's getting skeeved out you know what's gonna taste great going down my throat? Oh, Jesus. My cock? Your cock tails. Tails.

Joelle, I think they could just keep doing this for another 45 minutes. I don't think it's going to get less funny to them. Sarah, you were laughing, so don't tease us. I don't. Yeah. I laugh for eight years. I know. This episode's nine and a half hours. All right, guys. I don't, yeah. Why is this episode three hours? I laugh for eight years. I know, this episode's nine and a half hours.

All right, guys. Wait, we haven't sung Happy Birthday to Joelle yet. Oh, also it's Joelle's birthday. Is it today? Save it for next week, October 1st, so a week from yesterday. Okay, and Donald, we have to talk about Joelle's present, and also we never got Daniel a present, so we need to give up two presents. Stop that.

No, I reminded myself when I was looking online for Joelle's present that we never came to a good panel. We can totally give them some cock tails. Tails. How about this? How about... I don't feel comfortable making this joke with Joelle. It's inappropriate.

But Dan, I will give you so much cock tail. You honor him. You honor him. All right, we got to go. We love you, everybody. Please do the head count thing. I want to crush everyone. I want Sam Jackson to say to his publicist, holy shit.

Sam Jackson say to his publicist, holy shit. Who are these motherfuckers? Okay, good. What's your secret goal? That was my secret goal. Well, Flo did 7,500. I'm sure it's higher than that, but I would love to be able to say, ha ha, Flo, we did 7,501.

But I'm not aiming that high. That might be too high. All I want for now is 15. You get the prize of the video of cocktails if you do 1,500 of you. Check your registration or register for the first time. Come on, everybody.
