I don't think the hair has been as cropped as tightly in a while. It's not cropped. It's actually. Did you have a fade? No. What do you call that? This is just a one to the dome piece. You did a one to the dome piece.

Did you do your own one? I did my own one to the dome piece. Why don't you have one of those guys comes over? I always watch these Instagram videos about African-American haircuts because I find them so interesting. It's like an art form. He takes and he cuts and he cuts and he shapes and he did, and then this, and then jigger, jigger,

jigger, jigger. Some people are very much into lines and shape ups. Yeah. You don't do that. I don't, that's never been my style. Look at what's in the background of Dan.

Dan will bring that thing close. Tell me you got a puppy. We did get a puppy and I'm trying to mute myself as much as possible so that she doesn't provide any annoyance. But once I, can you bring her close to the camera for the love of Yahweh. Oh, my goodness. This is this is Kelly. It looks like a Ewok.

I know, right? Yeah. Does it? Celebrate the life. does it know you celebrate the life now daniel there's actually people that know that freaking i know the song bro i know you don't know the lyrics i know it you don't know celebrate the life Danil did you choose it because it looked like a baby Ewok I would like to say yes but really Stephanie chose it

Jewel have you seen the baby Ewok adorable I want to boob it snoot so cute I'm disappointed I'm disappointed in the name what little Kelly I mean I get it the name now. I'm disappointed in the name. What, Little Kelly? Yeah, the name should... I mean, I get it.

The name should be Wicked or Chief Chub Chub. I think it should be Yub Nub. I think it should be Yub Nub. Yub Nub. We're still trying to get Kelly, so Lord knows where it'll go from here. Celebrate the life, Yub Nub. Yub Nub. It even has a theme song.

You're not going to believe... Celebrate the life of Yub Nub. It should be named Yub Nub. Celebrate the life. I always laughed at the fact that the Ewok song, there just was no translation for Celebrate the Life. And the language, the universal language. Everything else was covered in Ewokese, but not Celebrate the Life. Everything else was covered in Ewok-ese, but not Celebrate the Life.

And the universal language, Celebrate the Life, translates as Celebrate the Life in the universal language. Whether it's Ewok-ese, whether it's Tandoran. Aren't you impressed that I know even some of the lyrics to the Ewok song? Yub-nub-chicka-dee-wine. You don't know any of it? Yub nub chickity wine. You don't know any of it. Yub nub. All you know is celebrate the life.

Yub nub. Yub nub. Yub nub. Halle-look. I know there's a word. I think there's something like Halle-look-ta-na. It would be great, Joel, if you could track down someone who is...

There's people on YouTube. There's people on YouTube.

Daniel. I mean, anybody can put up with Joelle. Jo is like she's the best truly the best well have you ever not got along with someone you're so pleasurable i imagine you don't want to get on joelle's bad side i imagine whoever that person was is like it takes a lot to get me angry it takes so much but people have achieved it um people have achieved it like it's a level in a game i feel like when it gets to that i feel i feel like when it gets to that level though joelle's like oh you done fucked up now it's kind of over and uh for life after gates are closed i don't want to speak or because after we've tried everything at that point i've

laid down some rules i've given you some time to work and like achieve like getting better at you know my boundaries and my boundaries aren't for everybody some people you know i don't know that's fine are we giving away a car today joelle no not today thursday have you ever had to lay hands on someone joelle no why would i fight that's i don't understand i don't have you ever had to lay hands on someone, Joelle? No. Why would I fight? I don't understand. Dano, have you ever had to put hands on someone? The short answer, no. The very slightly longer answer is the only time that I've ever punched anyone was in eighth grade when someone put my hat in a vending machine

and I punched him in the stomach. CB, have you ever laid hands on someone? Yeah, in defense, I didn't start it, but I fought back. Joel, I hear you, man. I hate when people try and start shit. Why? Why am I going to mess up my beautiful face?

Some people are like you gotta step to do we gotta teach them a lesson you gotta listen i don't have to stay out of your way and you need to stay out of mine and it's fine i have a large friendship circle they will protect me emotionally physically spiritually if necessary i'm just not gonna do it i don't need yeah i don't need that in my life i was prepared to once though when an old man was trying to come on to a 12 year old in a starbucks yeah i had to that's when you like his hands down his pants i had to like absolutely step in front of the two of them nobody was doing anything he's being very loud and obvious about it she's terrified now i was like bro you got to get out of here i was talking to

her like you don't need to talk to her she's alone in a starbucks she. If she's not 14, that's the max age she could be. I was ready that day, but it didn't come to it. Good. Good. Thank God. I went to Governor's Ball and saw Charlotte Lawrence perform. It was very exciting. I don't know if you saw the videos on the interwebs. The videos look amazing. It was so cool because I had the experience of not only

seeing Charlotte, who I've known since a little kid, performing at this giant festival, but standing next to her father, who there've known since a little kid, performing at this giant festival, but standing next to her father who, you know, there's a Yiddish expression called kvelling. And it means, my father used to always say it, it's when your heart is so full of pride and you're just beaming

at your child often. And he was kvelling watching his daughter just rule the stage. And she was so funny, she had a couple fuck-ups. She did the funniest, but she made And she was so funny. She had a couple of fuck-ups. She did the funniest, but she made a joke out of it. She had one big funny joke that got a laugh, and Bill goes, I wrote that.

And then she's jamming on the guitar. She has this moment where she goes and picks up the guitar, and she goes over to her guitar, and they're jamming together like people do on stage. And then you see her talking to him, and they both start laughing. And she goes over to the guitar plug and picks it up the guitar wasn't plugged in for the moment that they were jamming together and she makes this face like oh like but like like she my point is she knew even through fuck-ups to like to like how to make a joke out of me you

know in front of so many people that's amazing amazing. She's her parents' kid, man. That's awesome. She sounded great. And then I went and saw, we had some time to kill, so we thought, I wanted to see Phoebe Bridgers, who was going to be on the same stage,

but Meg the Stallion was on another stage. You did? No, you're not going to believe this. Bill Lawrence and I went to Meg the Stallion and I wish you could have seen a camera on me and Bill watching Meg the Stallion

and her dancers dance very, very, very provocatively. I sent Donald a little video, but I only know Meg the Stallion from the WAP video. I don't really know her music. You don't know Savage?

Classy? Oh, yeah. Boozy? You don't know that one? Anyway, it's a lot like a strip pole show with music. There's a lot of naughty, naughty twerking, Donald. That's great. I love that.

That's great. I know that. That's great. I know. I'm just saying, Bill and I. I totally appreciate the fact that you two went and got a little bit of culture. We did. We got some culture. We did two songs worth of twerking, and then we left. What were the two songs?

I don't know, but there was heavy twerking involved in both of them. But then we watched Phoebe Bridgers, which was a little bit more R-speed. But no, that was it. That was cool. What kind of music does Phoebe Bridgers sing? You know, it's singer-songwriter. You'd probably find it boring. No, I like singer-songwriter stuff.

You know, it's a girl singing sad songs with her guitar. You know who I like? She's got beautiful poetry. What? The young lady I like is, what's her name? Follow your arrow wherever it points. Country singer. Make lots of noise.

Kiss lots of boys. Or kiss lots of girls. If that's what you're into. Yeah, Kacey Musgraves. I was going to be my only guess. Kacey Musgraves. A talent. When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight, roll up a joint.

That shit is fire. Follow your arrow wherever it points. Follow your arrow wherever it points. Not clapping. Did you watch Amanda Kloots on Dancing with the Stars? Crushed it. Crushed it. did you watch Amanda Kloots on Dancing with the Stars? Crushed it. Crushed. Now, I don't know anything about the scoring,

but giving her sevens for that was fucking bullshit. I think it must be one of those things where, like, they don't want to get your ego too high week one. Also, that basketball player, did you watch him? He was incredible, and he got low scores too. Did you guys not watch him in this style? You watched. I did watch it.

I'm not a big fan of people judging how other people dance. I think that's kind of, you know, whatever. Okay, but didn't you think his scores were too low? He was incredible. Yeah, of course I do. But, you know, hey, whatever. That's the way it goes. Anyway, everybody listening, watch Amanda Kloots.

You know, yeah, if anything, what I took away from the whole show was Vote Amanda Kloots, y'all If you're listening to this And she's still on when this comes out Please, vote Amanda Kloots Vote Amanda Kloots Her dance was amazing And I'm going to watch tonight

I'm excited I'm going to watch tonight too Yeah, Donald, I like to i was live it's not just well you know what you know what you know who should have been on the show not iman shumpert who's the basketball you player you're talking about his wife tiana taylor oh hey oh my goodness gracious because she's like a professional dancer though so is amanda well in fairness to clutes i just want to give Clutes one fair thing. Okay?

Of course she's a dancer. So is Spice, the Spice Girl. So is the freaking gymnastics. So is JoJo. What's her name? Yeah. All of that stuff is, all of those cats have taken dance class and all of that stuff. And Cody was a backup dancer, apparently. But anyway, the point is-

Unfortunately, Cody's not on right now because his- I know. Did you hear what happened? Yeah, man. Cody's partner got COVID, so he can't perform this week. Oh, funny. You know what's bullshit? They should have given him some other pro to come in,

and I'm sure the pro could have picked it up in a half a day or probably 10 minutes and danced with him. Don't you think that would have been better? Well, it was the day before. It's literally, literally... I know, but Shun.un i know dude i know why not why not if i was a producer of the show i would have said everyone this is a stand-in so you got to treat his points and and everything be gentle but he'll be dancing with svetlana everybody yay svetlana svetlana could learn the routine in a half a day who's svetlana she's my yay, Svetlana! Svetlana could learn the routine in a half a day.

Who's Svetlana? She's my stand-in professional dancer. Oh, I thought you actually knew. No, but they often have, like, Eastern European names, right? Svetlana sounded right. I did not doubt it. I don't know why they didn't do that. Like, bring in a ringer. I don't know. An understudy, if you will will donald to use a theater term yeah

a backup dancer well just i just feel bad for cody yeah but anyway amanda's amanda clutes y'all amanda clutes i don't know how long when when does this air this one joelle do you have any idea we are so far ahead right now this is is going to air like mid-November. All right. Should we get into the show? We should totally get into the show. Let's do it. Five, six, seven, eight.

Let's do it. I said he's got stories that we all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Spurge Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. This episode has so many things packed into it, Donald. I mean, sometimes you get an episode. All old jokes. Every joke in this. They're not all old. Pretty much every joke in this is old jokes, Every joke in this. They're not all old.

Pretty much every joke in this is old jokes, except for the Turk and Carla storyline and the stuff that goes on with Cox. There's some random ass shit. First of all, the riddle's not old. The hermit's not old. The riddle is old. The riddle, we did this one already. The riddle is old. This is, that's why it's called my deja vu,

my deja vu. We did this, everything in this is all reused jokes. All of the jokes. Wait a second. Yes. The riddle has already been on? Yes. No.

Joelle, really? Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's why at the end you say, oh, that's what happened to my bike. Because he destroyed your bike last time you rode it. The hermit, all of the stuff. The whole show is all jokes from Scrubs past.

Oh, so that's so lame. It's like a, what do they call it, a clip show. It's not a clip show. We actually act out all of the old jokes, though. Did you watch the show? It's really funny. I watched it, but I didn't. I'm sorry that my memory i went i i honestly

went oh this is the one with the riddle oh this is the one with hair met i didn't know that that they're no they're rehashes this is all rehashes why it's so lame why did they do that i don't know i mean i guess i wanted to prove you could tell the same it's all still funny like all of the jokes all of the time they must have been really fucked in there from the right you didn't laugh at innuendo again i laughed at every single one of them but i i'm sorry that my brain can't even tell you that i i was under the impression i was hearing these for the first time there was a whole floating head doctor a renewed whole floating head doctor sure but that was a new floating head that was a new floating head doctor short yes yeah that stunt lady took some nice hits to the head.

Yeah, to the head. All right, so Cox returns from his hiatus, trying to drink himself to death, as he put it. And I give him a big hug. It said on Scrubs Wiki, this is the second time we ever hug. Right. Does he hug you back, though? I don't think so.

And I say, you sent those demons right back to hell, didn't you? I was out of my mind in this episode, dude. This whole episode is out of its mind, dude. I know. But I was extra effeminate and extra silly. And I enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong. But I was like on blow or something.

I mean, not in real life. The character was extra hyper. Yeah. Well, we should also talk about, first of all, we should talk about Ernie. These are the things in the show that weren't deja vu. Ernie the homeless man.

Okay. Welcome back, Cox, sir. Welcome back, Cox, sir. Now, how hard did you laugh when i'm going off on my run oh dude who'd have thought they need us that was a run i was gonna do but i guess it's a little awkward now that shit was hilarious and also i remember i was shooting this is the only part of the episode that i remember us shooting. Everything else, I don't remember. But who'd have thought they'd need you? That was a run that I was going to do.

And when I'm like, well, them names, them names. I wish I still had a Welcome Back Coxer t-shirt. Those were nice. Yeah. Yeah, they were nice. That was a run that I was going to do, but now it's awkward. Who would have thought they'd need you? Why am I riding Sasha through a ring of fire?

Can you explain that to me? Because this is what you do. It's a routine of yours that has developed. I had to run an errand. So I grab an apple. As always, you get a lunch. My lunch was yours that has developed i had to run an errand so i grab an apple you get as always you get a lunch my lunch was the apple off an apple tree and then i did something else and then i rode through a ring of fire which then there's a callback later on yeah but you just run through the ring of fire yeah turk jumps through it that was your stunt double though yeah like

this episode was nuts man yeah i don't remember i don't remember some of this shit like some of the things that like turk gets to watch sanford and son while because carl is reading her book and so all of the great things that happened to him the one way really fucked it up was like he offers her a burrito he has two he offers her one and she says no he puts the burrito off screen and does a little hand movement. Yeah, fast motion. Yeah, it's one gigantic burrito. That's so stupid. I wish I had that ability.

I wish I had that ability. Do you ever watch the guys who roll the burritos when you're at one of those places, whatever, it's Chipotle or something better, and you're like, they're never going to be able to roll this one. It's too thick. It's too thick. But they always do.

They always find a way. They always tuck it in. I bet burrito employees are good baby swaddlers. Probably. Probably, because that's what you're pretty much doing. You know what I learned on the interwebs? Do you know who wrote the Sanford and Son theme song, Gal? If you say Alan Thicke.

No. Barry Manilow. Quincy Jones. That was on the interwebs. We license that shit like every other week. We're paying Quincy money he doesn't need. By the way, I met J.J. Abrams' need. I met JJ Abrams daughter.

I was trying to angle for a part for you because she's one of Charlotte's best friends. And, and, and she was very nice. She's a singer too. And I, but I'm staring and I'm going,

how can I get Donald a job through JJ? I know JJ. I did Felicity with JJ. I know, but I was, I thought if I... If JJ wants to use me, he knows how to find me. I just thought if the daughter came home and said,

Dad, you know who's so funny? Donald Faison. He might be like, yes, I worked with Donald back before I was a mega, mega director. That would help a lot, actually. I was trying for you. That always helps, I guess.

When the kids come home and say, Dad, you know what? Yeah. This dude is fire. Mads Mikkelsen ended up in Rihanna's music video, Bitch Better Have My Money. His kids were like, you can't pass up an opportunity to work with Rihanna. He was like, I don't know who that is. And they were like, please work with Rihanna, Mads Mikkelsen. And he was like, okay.

Kids get a lot of stuff done. What a good casting. I want to tell you, Mads Mikkelsen. And he was like, okay. Kids get a lot of stuff done. What a good casting. I want to tell us. Mads Mikkelsen. You guys got to watch. Listeners, did I mention The Hunt already? You guys got to watch this movie with Mads Mikkelsen called The Hunt. That shit is wild.

It is dark as fuck. You cannot be someone who doesn't. And I don't mean thriller horror dark. I mean emotionally dark. Like you're going to be in the fetal position when it's over. It might wreck you a bit. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words.

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

What my responsibilities are as a person with cancer. Because I think that there's something so much bigger than me. And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is. And maybe together, we'll find it. It's going to be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in. Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts we really did the riddle before i could have sworn this was the you are a fucking

okay so cox doesn't... He's afraid to diagnose Mrs. Goldstein. He's lost his mojo. Right. Well, we assume that he has... Well, he reveals in the end. At the end, right. He comes clean in the end. But that's because Elliot

kind of forces him. Now, I never... I never looked at their relationship as a problem to relationship i thought they had their disagreements and everything like that but today it really this episode he says to her i wrote it down um cox says elliot is not his favorite yeah to her face yeah and she and he says and i bet you can agree i can I'm sure you agree with what I'm saying and you feel the same way about me. Yeah, but I never knew that. I never digested that they had a relationship like that.

But yeah, he was always tough on her. He fucks with her a lot. Yeah, but I thought it was out of love. It turns out it's not. It's out of the fact that he just doesn't like her. At the end, he shows that he respects her the fact that he just doesn't like her. You know, at the end, he shows that he respects her. I wonder why he doesn't like her. I don't know.

The Johnny tattooed on Kelso's butt has been said before? Yes. He was an old Navy buddy, and if you knew what we went through, you'd understand? Yes. Damn it. I laughed at that. I feel stupid now. I laughed at the jokes at the same time.

You know what joke had me? Okay, so this joke had me rolling. Okay. She'll have a ginger ale, he'll have a beer, and I'll have an appletini. You know what? The hell with it. I'm going to have a real drink. Make that a nectarini.

Kevin goes, I don't know what that is. JD goes, oh, come on, Kevin. You know. Make it. Make it. Make it. And then it comes and I go, dynamite nectarini. That man knows his way around nectar. Around nectar.

I was like Sean Hayes in this episode. Dude, this episode is, well, that joke is, first first of all where's the punchline in the joke other than the nectar you know what i mean it's just the word nectar is funny that's all but even before that though oh come on kevin you know make it that's the punchline of that part of the joke come on kevin you know make it it's fucking hilarious like don't act like you what the hell is a nectarini i don't know i don't know real drink joelle what's in a nectarini i've never heard of it but i'll

look it up right now um how about when i pass the basketball to leonard and he catches it with his hook hand and pops it no ball in the hole that's a freaking actual that's also a deja vu moment. And now two things. I say don't worry about the ball. They come three to a can. Tennis. Yes. And then did you notice that Leonard has to duck for his Afro to get

underneath the doorway? Poor Leonard. I mean, he's a security guard. He's pacing around the hospital, and every doorway he has to duck because of that hairstyle. Yeah. Hilarious. What is he pacing around? Like, he doesn't have a station.

He doesn't have a station where they can be like. Leonard's the type of security guard that has to walk the halls and see if there's any trouble. Is it like a century? Yes. Here we go. It's a Prosecco cocktail made with fresh nectarines

and chilled Prosecco. That's it. It's kind of like a mimosa, but instead of orange juice, nectarine juice. Oh, come on, Kevin. You know. You know.

Make it. Now, we learned that Troy went to Yale, which has to be- This is all deja vu, dude. Troy going to Yale was deja vu? Deja vu, bud. Okay. Analgesic, I remembered, was deja vu. Yes.

I learned it from watching you make me laugh so hard. That's funny. Oh, my God. For those of you who don't know, there used to be a public service announcement about drugs, right? And do you remember that, Donald? Yeah, man. And what was the drug that the parents were doing? It was weed. Yeah.

So the whole idea for the PSA, this is when Donald and I were growing up, and it was definitely at least in the tri-state area. And the parents were like, where did you – who taught you how to do this? And he found the kid's weed. And the kid was like, I learned it from watching you. He goes, you okay? I learned it from watching you. Yeah, and it was like it's supposed

to be a psa to parents like you know don't smoke weed in your front of your kids right they're gonna smoke just like you yeah you can i'm sure you could find it on youtube i learned it from watching you but even the even the monologue when cock when you walk into the hospital in the beginning of the show and he does the monologue the rhythm of it and you stepping in in between it and for the punch line and then him going back into nevertheless and whatever it is you know what i mean that all deja vu like all of it like this whole i think we need to have an ask bill here i know it's hard to track him down now that he's an emmy winner but um bill time bill now we know you're, now that you're... Dollar Bill!

We know you're big time and you're an Emmy winner now and probably won't return our call, but why did you do this episode and just repeat all these jokes? Was the writer's room so backed up that your idea was, what if we did a Deja Vu episode and repeated all of our greatest hit jokes?

Well, it's not even the greatest hit jokes, though. Let's keep it honest. There's some pretty darn good ones. Some great ones, actually. But some of them are ones that people missed before. So it's like, you know, let's... Like, obviously, you didn't recognize it because you forgot about the...

You thought this was all the first time these jokes came through. All right. Well, Bill, what was the reason behind repeating all these jokes in my deja vu? Ask Bill. Okay. You know what you guys should ask Bill? Hey, Bill, how you feeling, man?

How you doing? You lonely? Because if you did ask Bill that, the answer would be no, I'm good. Anyways, yeah, My Deja Vu. Here's the scoop. good. Anyways, yeah, my deja vu, here's the scoop. It's really hard to come up with all the stories we came up with on Scrubs because one of the things all these physicians, and we tried to be realistic, you know, as a medical show, and one of the things all the physicians that we interviewed would often say is, the amazing thing is that you kind of sometimes see the same things over and over and over and over.

Then we got obsessed with maybe we could do the same medical stories with two patients or with a patient in the hospital, but with different endings. Sometimes people come in and it goes differently. Also, we were way behind, and so this felt like a great idea to do an episode quick because if it's called Made My Deja Vu Deja Vu, we all tell stories twice. We all tell jokes twice. The laziest thing we did in this episode was we did the janitor C story, the riddle, line for line except for one change. Line for line and shot for shot.

Do you know what the one change is? We should ask Bill. Ask Bill. Hey, you know what you guys should ask Bill when you ask Bill sometimes is you should ask Bill how he's feeling. And, you know, hey, Bill, when we ask Bill, how are you doing? You know what that Bill would say? That Bill would say, you know, I hide it, but sometimes I'm not so great. So I don't know. Anyways, the one difference in the longest ask Bill ever,

the one difference was the janitor changed where he went to college. The first time we did it, I think he said he went to Harvard, and the second time he said he went to Yale. There's your trivia answer. Peace out. How are you guys doing? See ya. Thank you, Bill. Carla says if she can't do things, Turk can't do things. Now, did this happen to you? Is this a thing that really happens to companies? I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. My wife didn't do that to me. When my wife was pregnant with our kids, dude, I got to get as fucked up as, like, that was the best part about it. Like, I was like, I'm going to party tonight.

We're going out tonight. We're going to go eat sushi. Oh, because you had a built-in designated driver. Yeah. I was like, we're going to get sushi. She's like, I can't eat sushi. I was like, you can eat the hot plates. And she was like, you're right. I can't eat the hot plates. I do like the hot plates.. She's like, I can't eat sushi. I was like, you can eat the hot plates. She was like, you're right.

I can't eat the hot plates. I do like the hot plates. And we'd go, and we'd eat sushi, and I'd fucking get bombed on sake, and she'd fucking drop us. Now, I have a question. See, couples deal with this differently, and you're our only father. So I guess listeners will be answering to their phones. But I hear that some couples do this.

They're like, no, no, you have to do it with me. You can't drink. That's selfish. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. What about in the middle of the night when the mom has to get up to breastfeed? That's selfish. That's bullshit.

Some women make the father get up, too, to sit with her. That's cool. I don't know about get up and sit with them, but i do believe that the if you have bottles and stuff like that the and you're doing it that way the right but what about in the scenario where the baby just needs to breastfeed if you make the father is the father expected to just get up and that ain't right that's not a selfish man joelle do you have any have any knowledge of this? That's selfish.

Yeah, because my dad was the only one who could get me to go back to sleep. So he was like, my mom was like, she doesn't go to sleep with me. So you have to be up for her. That's a different story. But I would think, totally, totally. I would think that in my non-child having head, so mothers, feel free to correct me. But like, wouldn't I want my partner to be asleep so that later I could be asleep and they could be up i feel like we have to tag team this child anyway so i don't need us both being equally as exhausted amanda amanda and nick i

think did a version of that where like amanda would just let nick sleep and while she would breastfeed and then in the morning she'd be like you're taking the baby on a long ass walk and i'm gonna sleep yeah and they had a little situation like that yeah that's that's the right way to do it yeah especially okay so actually more than anything communication is the right way to do it if you guys can come up with a plan it works the fact that carla just springs this on turk like no this is the way it's gonna be she bitch slaps a beer out of your hand yeah yeah yeah that was funny though but that's i do that with my kids now where my kid will be like, I'm drinking this.

And I'll be like, you better not drink it. You better put that back in the fridge. And he goes, I'm going to open it. And he'll open up it. You better not sip it then.

And he'll sip that shit and it'll be, and that's when hell breaks loose. You bitch-tapped out of his hand. Well, yeah. And then he sits there

and then he'll stand there like, I can't believe you just hit that out of my hand. What will it be? Something with caffeine or something? stand there like, I can't believe you just hit that on my hand. What will it be? Something with caffeine or something? No, like, you know. So I made the mistake.

Oh, God. These are the mistakes you make in life. I let them taste Sprite, and I let them taste Canada Dry Ginger Ale. They have sugar-free versions of those if you're going to do your case. Yeah, but the sugar-free version is just as bad as the sugar version. Regardless of what is in it, it is not necessarily a good thing for them to drink. But I made the mistake one time of saying you want to try.

I could feel the devil coming out of my skin. You want to try this little boy? You want to like me being i was literally i i could feel the devil coming out of my skin you want to try this little boy you want to try this little girl knowing that the minute they tasted it it would be like i must have this forever and ever and ever why don't you just not have it in the house we don't have it in the house but anyway so but when it is in the house he'll be like can i have some ginger ale i'll be like no and he'll be like, can I have some ginger ale? I'll be like, no. And he'll be like, look, my kid is the king of manipulation. He's like, I'm just trying to have a conversation with you, Dad. I'm like, we had the conversation. I said, no.

He's like, that's not a conversation. That's you telling me no. That's all that is. We're not talking about anything. You haven't even heard what I'm asking for. Oh, my God. This is my son. Where did this come from?

I have no clue. I have no clue. I think kids are good at just, they know their parents are tired, right? And they just know, like, if they keep it going, the parent is just exhausted. They're like, fuck, just shut up. Have it. It's yours. Fine.

You win. That's what they, that's what. But don't you think kids play on that? They know that you're just always tired. So you're just gonna be like oh fine have it he's a little ass sometimes like he's a dummy sometimes like one time he did that he right and as he's walking away with the prize he goes and that's what i and that's how it's done i knew if i just pressured her and he walks by and walks out the room, right?

Whatever it was, whether it's a donut, a soft drink, or whatever the fuck it is, he's now exited and is about to go and do what it is that he wanted to do. And he lets out what the plan was. And me and my wife both look at each other like, what the

fuck this motherfucker did what the fuck he's running that house over there he runs the show future ceo over here understands yeah and it's he just gets the art of you say no and he finds a way to make it so that no was the wrong answer. You know what I mean? It's like, no, I said no. You're not even having a conversation. I did have the conversation with you. Yeah, the answer is no.

I said no. That's not even where we're at yet. I haven't even explained to you the scenario or what it is I'm trying to do. What I'm trying to say is, Rocco, I said no, and now you're interrupting me. I wish you just let me finish. I'm not having kids. Yeah, don't do it. This child would not survive the 80s. We need someone on this podcast

who promotes how great having kids is, because this podcast is making me not need them. You know, I'll tell you this right now. I know you love them, but they sound exhausting. But then this weekend, I freaking, you know, it's true, this right now, but they sound exhausting. But then this weekend, I freaking, you know,

it's, it's true. But then this weekend we went out and watched him play a soccer game against a bunch of other kids. And they all like his team, the team that they were playing against was obviously better than them was better passing all of that stuff. But his team won by one point. It was a penalty kick, and Rocco kicked the penalty kick into the goal. You know what I mean?

And it was 1-0, and it was a hard-fought game. And, you know, our goalkeeper, he blocked like 100, not hundreds, but like at least 10 shots directly at him. It was just an amazing game. 1-0. Go team. Congratulations. I laughed at when I get your coffee, I go, please have

some sort of nut. It's hazel. It's hazel. I only like one type of nut milk in my coffee. Almond. That's it. No, I think I was talking about the coffee blend itself. It was hazelnut coffee. Do you like hazelnut?

I do. I only like oat milk in terms of milk. You don't like almond. Why? Because I like the taste of oats, and I think it makes a nice flavor. A lot of people are allergic to oats. Oh, really? Yeah.

I don't have real milk in my coffee anymore. Library. Library. Strawberry. Strawberry. These are all old jokes? Yes. I feel so... I will say this what's

the word neil's neil's response neil's response to each one of troy's uh buttons is different okay that's not deja vu neil's not saying the same joke with him. But the whole thing with the coin, we just watched that earlier. Okay. Well, let's talk about how Floating Head Doctor and how Body kills Elliot. Yes. And then Floating Head Doctor and Body fight each other. Getting into a fight. Yes.

And Body wins. It's well shot, we should say, by Linda Mendoza, our director of the week. Deja vu, deja vu. Written by who, though? Schwartz, I believe. Mike Schwartz. Let me double check my notes. Yes, Mike Schwartz and Linda Mendoza. We're going to go to break,

and we'll be right back after this. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful. That's where The Bright Side comes in. A new daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that's bringing you a daily dose of joy. I'm Danielle Robay. And I'm Simone Boyce.

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

And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is. And maybe together, we'll find it. It's going to be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in. Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back! And we're back. And we're back. I wonder when, is this the Christmas episode? Are we near the Christmas episode for Fake Doctors, Real Friends?

Is this around the holidays yet? Are we near the holidays? Well, I want to say that Cox finally comes around and has a very heartfelt conversation with Elliot. And I thought that was well done. And he's so mean to her. I think she said, you've never shown me an ounce of respect. And then he confesses to her that he was indeed petrified to make a decision on his patient's health care.

And he didn't want anyone to know. And he said, I hope that in telling you this, you see that I do indeed respect you. Yes. I thought that was well acted by them both. Both of them. Yeah. Well, this episode, everyone else is in peripheral. These two are actually center stage telling uh the a story

and it's a great it's a great it's a great fake out too you know like you honestly believe that cox is back and he's fine but in all honesty he's still it's still in him and he still feels you know he still feels uh the guilt i'm'm sure that happens to real doctors when they make a call that was wrong. I can imagine they get in their head and second guess themselves. But if you're a good doctor, if you're a good doctor, you push forward, keep it moving. The world spins madly on by the Weepies. It's a beautiful song the show ends to

The Weepies is a great band if you don't know I was going to say who are the Weepies tell us about the Weepies well they're a couple and

they just have a lot of beautiful music put them into your Spotify and I guarantee you you will enjoy a lot of their music it's very like

chill Laurel Canyon vibes. Couple harmonies. The world spins madly on. Troy might have killed somebody in confusion. Like, it's a possibility. Like, somebody confused him so much that he was like, kill him!

Troy seems to not get that the janitor doesn't really want me dead. He likes to torture me, and he likes to ruin my life. But Troy keeps having to be told that, no, we're not going to kill JD. And he's so eager to do it also. Right. I just feel like what would happen if Troy wanted to. If the muzzle was taken off?

If the muzzle was off? Yeah. It's like, you know, I used to have this cat, and the cat would be out all night. It was an outdoor cat. It came in and out, but when it was out at night, it would leave offerings of the animals it caught on the back deck.

It would leave a little rat. It would leave a little bird. Just a little bit. And that's kind of what the... That's what cats do for who they perceive to be the leader of the pack. Was this your cat? Yeah, it was our family cat. Okay.

But in terms of the cat mentality, they want to leave offerings to the leader of the pack. Look what I caught for you, great leader. Here is my contribution. Right. Here is what I did last night. Here's my contribution. Right. Here is what I did last night.

And I thought, what if Troy did that for Neil and killed me and left me on the janitor's back porch? My God. That would have been a good fantasy. I'm no Superman, man. Finale. Over. Done. I'm no Superman.

Finale. It turns out I was not a Superman because I'm dead. Right, right. Oh, no. I'm no Superman. Gonk. Series finale. I'm no superman gonk series finale tonight on a very special episode of scrubs it's the

series finale see my new tattoo that I showed you guys a skull that's so cool I really like it why'd you get a skull I got a skull because... I guess I got a skull because... I just like skulls.

Okay. I understand. It's just... I mean, it's a skull. I know, but I like... It's not a scary skull. It's a skull. It's just a cute skull. Alright,, but it's not a scary skull. It's a skull. It's just a cute skull. All right, Joel, let's bring the collar in. We got a collar who gave us a holler.

We can talk, start wars, or sing show tunes, you know, like a baller. Smoke some jazz cabbage, maybe talk about the episode. So come on, Joel, let's get the show on the road. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Michelle! Hi! Hi, Michelle. I know that face. Are you still married? The question is, are you still married?

Oh, my goodness. Is that Michelle? Oh, Joelle, Christmas has come early. Michelle, I'm worried that you're sitting alone. Is that a bad sign? It is not. My husband had to go on a business trip. We are still married.

A business trip. Let's remind our listeners who have missed the episode. Michelle, please interrupt me if I summarize this in any incorrect way. Michelle went to her husband and said that she would like to have sex with his best friend. And her husband said, okay. He didn't say okay. He was like, yes. And he was not allowed to be there.

They would go off and do it at the friend's house. And they do it monthly, Michelle? Every other week. Every other week. Oh, sorry, bi-monthly. Yes. And the friend still hangs out with them at their house. They're all tight.

And at last check-in, the husband had not yet been given an opportunity to have the same sort of situation on her side of things. But Michelle did say it was all good if he did want to do it. They just had to find the right person. Right. Michelle, what is going on in this wacky family? Well, I am

sorry to tell you that it is not very much of an update. Everything is still good. He has not done anything but he knows that he has permission we've discussed it at length um so i don't know if he wants to and i am not going to pressure him into doing it just so that it feels okay for me right um whenever you return from your um date the friend, does he ever ask questions? Like, what did you guys do? What did you watch?

What, what did you, what was it? Does he have curiosity about it? He usually asks like, what, what'd you watch? And we do, we watch, you know, a movie or a show or, you know, whatever it might be. He has never really asked details about the other activities um but you know i just say it was a good evening or you know we me and the friend obviously have conversations too and if something relevant comes up we'll talk about that not even relationship wise just we're friends who talk about things, have similar interests.

So I have a question. Go ahead. I call on you, Donald. Do you worry about forming a deeper relationship? Yeah, good question, Donald. No, I mean, and that was my husband's one of his concerns with this is like, yeah, understandably, you know, my husband and I have been together for, this Saturday will be our 11th wedding anniversary. Wow. Yeah, we've been together for 17 years.

I'm 33. So I've been with him my entire adult life. So like, there's nothing that can be deeper and more profound than that connection that we have already. Yeah. You guys knew each other since junior high school. You said since high school, high school. Okay.

Yeah. I think I would be insecure about, I know I've said this before, but on so many levels, there's the, what if he's better at sex or i'm not better at sex but what if they have a better sexual chemistry than we do what if it's bigger than mine of course what if his penis is bigger and more satisfying and girthier um what if you know

and of course as donald put it what if what if all of a sudden they just hit it off and they have this incredible emotional connection that's deeper than ours. That would make me so nuts. Yeah. And I mean, we've, we've talked about that at length, probably more so than a regular relationship because we've brought this up. You know, that is not, it's hard to know because you're just getting little snippets of our lives. But you know, when this first came up, my husband's like, ask those exact same questions. What if, you know, you fall madly in love and you run away with him? And I said, okay,

let's play that out. He would never, the friend would never, ever let that happen. Like, even if I'm like, oh my gosh, I love you. Like let's run away together. He doesn't want to deal with my kids. But what if the friend, okay, I hear what you're saying, but do you ever think when you're fully honest with yourself, the friend might have very strong feelings for you? Yeah. And that, that is valid. And we, does he date, sorry, sorry, Michelle, does he date outside of this situation? He has not yet. He is on dating apps. He's looking around. We talk about it. Like sometimes when I go

over there, we'll look at the matches and I'll help him like craft messages. And you won't be, you won't be jealous when he is with somebody else. No. And we've had, I check in with him, probably annoyingly frequently and make sure like we're all good. Like whatever you want on that end, like you just have to let me know. You know, I will do this as long as everyone is comfortable and having a good time. If you feel like you need more out of a relationship, like an actual relationship where you can, you know, foster something long-term, get married, what have you. Yeah. Just tell me. Yeah. Because you don't want him, especially if he's your friend, getting stuck in a situation where he's like, all right, here's my conundrum. I love Michelle, but she's never going to be mine because we've established the parameters, but I don't care.

I'm obsessed with her. Maybe one day she'll change her mind. So I'm not going to go out and find my with her maybe one day she'll change her mind so i'm not gonna go out and find my life partner that could happen right right and like i have told him that that please i want ultimately i want everyone in this situation to be happy and whatever that takes like before we even started this before anything happened when we had the initial discussion, like, hey, would you be interested in this? I told him, and we had this discussion that, you know, our friendship comes first. Like, that was his main concern. He's like, I don't want this to negatively impact our friendship. You know, the three of us have been friends for a long time. We lost touch for a few years, like right before the pandemic. And then the pandemic kind of brought us back into the fold. So that friendship bond is there. We just have a little

extra. I got to tell you, Michelle, whatever it is, it's working for you because you definitely look happy. You know what I mean? Even from when we saw you the first time, it's like a complete glow up. I don't know if it's the hair, your hair is different, but she's matching the eyes, whatever it is, but it's like a glow up. So you seem happy. So whatever it is, you guys, I know, but I'm fascinated. It works for you. But Donald, I'm fascinated by the fact that Michelle is pulling off this balancing act.

I know. Well, she's juggling. She definitely is juggling. No matter what you say, situation. I mean, yeah, man. act i i know well she's juggling she definitely is juggling no matter what you say situation i mean yeah man it's like what do i want tonight beef or chicken you know what i'm saying she's juggling it there's nothing wrong with that i saw neil brandon uh did a show it does a show that i highly recommend you guys see uh at the cherry Theater. If you're in New York, it's incredible. But he made some joke that was like, your wife wants to have sex three or four times a week, just not necessarily with you. And I thought that was funny.

And Michelle's living her best life like that. But Joelle, what are your thoughts on this? You're a very progressive woman you yeah what do you i mean well how do i i'm speechless do you have any thoughts on this what really impresses me is michelle's ability to communicate i feel like a lot of people when they view polyamory they think of like oh and i have little sex partners and it's like fun and wild but for my friends who are in polyamorous relationships the most difficult part is like now i gotta juggle four people's emotions and figure out how they all feel like i'm a friend

who dates couples right they're like i don't want to be in a committed relationship but i'm looking for like the feelings of love without having to fall in love and i mean when you're with a couple like that's really messy you're like working with both of their like needs and desires but also they come with their own like couple baggage um and so it's hard i think to have successful relationships like this i was gonna say the same thing joelle like what happens when he does find another relationship but you guys still keep your relationship going and the other person has to has to find their way into this yeah then we sell this whole fucking thing to bra. That's what happens.

Zach, I promise you this isn't new. This happens all the time. No, I know, but it's new to me. Even Joelle using the proper lingo, polyamorous relationships, it's new to me. I don't know. Michelle is the first person I've ever spoken to who's doing this successfully. Michelle is the first person I've ever spoken to who's doing this successfully.

And I'm sure a lot of our listeners all over the world are hearing about it for the first time. And some are doing it successfully. And some of them are listening while they're fucking their husband's best friend. They're fucking him right now being like, it's like us. Oh, buddy. Oh, wonderful. They're finding him right now being like, it's like us. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful. That's where the bright side comes in.

and it blows does it blow air on it Donald? yes it's suction and blowing it's air pressure it's not a It's not a fake vagina. No, it's actually made for men and women. It's men and women. No, no, it's for the phallus, Donald.

I know, but no, they're saying the same thing that they do. There's a suction thing that they have for women now that they can put on their clitoris. It's the same technology. Okay, but Joel, I was shocked, A, that you wanted us to advertise this on the podcast and b that i don't have one at my home to try i was gonna say i was gonna say we should at least try these things well i just want you to know the product like that we have to test it to see these things must be researched. I can't endorse the Dyson penis

sucker until I've tried it. The 5000 until... And send Danil one too, Joelle. Oh boy. Did you see it, Danil? There's a whole video. I was like, I went to their website because I was obviously curious and I was like

how are they going to do a demonstration video? They clearly smartly, smartly use animation, not real people. But it's fascinating. Does it promote anything? Does it promote anything? Actually, their ad campaign is that, don't you ever wish you could have an orgasm on the scale of a female orgasm? wish you could have an orgasm on the scale of a female orgasm and this and this product says that it will give the male the explosive nature of joel why haven't we received joel

product from we are not listen if you work for this company we are not advertising for you until we get um samples yes for discussion all right i'm sorry michelle i just i had to bring that up i had to bring that up um well listen the good news is is that things are good and nothing bad has happened and you are living proof that um people can be in polyamorous relationships and be happy. And it doesn't even have to be reciprocated in a sense that your husband seems fine not having his own situation. I wonder if his best friend, that's the thing. I wonder if his best friend, when he does find a relationship, because he is actively looking, I wonder if he introduces, have you guys talked about him introducing his relationship into this? He hasn't gotten very far in that world.

Yeah, he's not going on dates. Right, right. He's made some matches and talked to a few people, but he has told me he will be totally open with where he is at in that process. And I am the kind of person that if he starts going on dates, I'm going to ask him, where do you, you know, do you want to introduce this? Like, do you want to just, you know, cut this off for a while? Well, you also want to make sure you're safe because if he's out there having sex with randos. Yes. But also I, I mean,

another thing that's, let's just state that's obvious is he's having his sexual needs met. So that hunger to go out and search for a mate is probably lessened because he knows, he knows by monthly. He he's like not this week but next week and i i when he told me he had downloaded these dating apps i'm like do you like do you want me to stop like do you want to stop this and just start clean? And his response was, it feels good to have that self-confidence of being active. He was like, what you talking about?

Stop. I love his very diplomatic answer. No, I don't feel that that would be the best description. You want to stop what we do? Wait, hold on now. You want to stop what we're doing? Wait, hold on now. You want to stop the... I was bullshit when I said I was looking at the apps. I wasn't serious.

All right. Well, I imagine we just came on for a catch us up, right? Unless you have any questions. No, she can't have any questions. This woman's life is all figured out. She's got it all going. Do you have a fix your life? I don't. I just want to clarify one thing. We haven't labeled this like we are just living this life. But I think the term open marriage is probably more appropriate than polyamory. Okay. So I don't know. We just go by Joelle. She's our turn.

That's very fair though. We'll refer to it as that. Okay. So listeners who are also learning, there's a difference between polyamory and just open marriage. Right. And I will say people on the internet are not very nice. I don't know if you know that. You know what? I mean, you know what? But you're, but don't let them,

they didn't, they didn't come find you. Did they? No, no, no one has come and found me, but I'm using an alias for you. Aren't you?

Aren't we? Yeah. Okay, good. Oh, I thought you were implying for a second that people had found you from our show and we're being unkind. I didn't like that. No, no, good. Oh, I thought you were implying for a second that people had found you from our show and were being unkind. I didn't like that. No, no.

How did you mean it? In a comment section from when the original episode posted. Oh. Well, you need to learn now that you're in the Now that you're in the pretend public eye, you need to know to never read
