I don't mean, like, keep track of what you ate in terms of, like, hey, you're eating too much. I mean, like, the good shit in our house. She's
Starting point is 00:01:59 watching, like, hey, you had the last M&M packet. That's mine. Yeah, we do fight last M&M packet. That's mine. Yeah, we do fight over M&Ms, the peanut kind. We fight over candy a lot, my wife and I. Yo, we should talk about this because a lot of people don't know. Go ahead. But it was Cinco de Mayo yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Yes. You were fasting, so you didn't participate in Cinco de Mayo. No, what did you do? What did you do? So, Casa Vega is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Sherman Oaks area. Right. And, you know, nobody can go to restaurants right now, but they had a little drive-thru going on where you can get, you know, tacos and beans and rice and, you know, whatever was on the menu. And margaritas? And margaritas.
Starting point is 00:02:44 How do they give you the margarita in the drive-thru? They put it in a half-gallon pitcher. That doesn't seem easy. Not even a pitcher. It's like a half-gallon. You know, like, you put milk in it. You know, you get milk, and it's a half-gallon bottle, jar, whatever it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:58 They put it in that. Wow. And we got three of them. Oh, my God. Did you get hammered? We only have one left. You guys had a party over there. We drank a gallon of margarita yesterday.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Oh, my God. Wow. I'm so jealous. I literally, this fast thing we're on, it's like all you eat is this thin soup. It looks like gruel. Remember that thing that Oliver wanted more of? That's what it looks like. Pizza.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Yeah. It looks like, or like what they'd slop on a pirate ship, what they'd serve you for dinner. That's what it looks like. Right. Does it have like a little bit of celery and like a little bit of carrot? It looks like cartoonishly watered down soup. That's what we're allowed to eat.
Starting point is 00:03:41 But it's white colored? No, it's the color of whatever flavor they think it is. It's like tomato is like tomato colored, but it's just got little specks of crap in it. Wow. But just you wait, Donald. You're going to check in when we record on Friday, and you're going to say, wow, you look even thinner. I want to fast, but I want to fast. Should we sing?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Should we sing? Yeah, sure. Why not? I'd like to count in today because I realize I haven't counted in in a long time. I've been giving it to you. I've been giving it to Bill Lawrence, our guest, giving it to Judy as a present. And I just feel feeling left out. Well, Zach, I want you to give it to me.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Go ahead. Okay, Dan, hit it. I like a little, you know what? Wait, before you hit it, Dan, you know, I always thought it was so cool when DJs on the radio do the thing they call talk up. They know exactly when the words come in and they stop talking. I believe DJs call it talking up
Starting point is 00:04:31 a song. I'm sure they have it labeled somewhere like the lyrics start at five seconds in or something. I always thought it was so smooth. I'd like to talk up this song. Go ahead. Do it. Here we go. I'm not going to count in, Dan. I'm just going to talk it up.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Okay? Here we go. I'm nervous now. I'm nervous now. There's a lot of pressure on you. Here we go. Welcome, everybody, to Fake Doctors, Real Friends. We're so glad you're joining us.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And here's a song written by Charlie Booth, Donald Faison, and Zach Brown. Coming at you. Here's some stories about a show we made About a bunch of doctors and nurses And a janitor who loved making asses Here's the stories that we all should know So gather round to hear our Gather round to hear our
Starting point is 00:05:20 Sports Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald Hey, lots of talk on the social media about, you know what I mean, and you. Is it that bad? No, it's just people just need to accept it. It's part of your way of speaking. It is part of my way of speaking. I'm just concerned, though, about those who are doing it as a drinking game, that we're going to turn people into alcoholics.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'm of the, I think we should keep the dings dings but if you don't want to keep the dings we could we could remove the dings and also i heard by the way dan that you missed some i saw on twitter some people were like the dings were hilarious but you guys missed like four you know what it means dan what was the total i mean of the ones you caught what was the total nine that's not a lot for an hour dude by by the way that's when you were trying not to say it dude but but i was also it was me not it was me using it as slang though at that point it wasn't me just saying you know what i mean after everything i said somebody brought to my attention that you say you know a lot. I'm just going to put it out there. Really? Oh, you're trying to shift
Starting point is 00:06:26 this shit onto me. Listen. Listen. I do. Listen, we all have, if you record someone for multiple hours, you're going to hear some of the things that they say when they speak. I'm sure we all have our own tics. I'm sure you're listening
Starting point is 00:06:41 right now, judging us. You probably have some vocal go-to's the ones that the ones that kind of get on my nerves yeah are like when people say i mean all the time before they say anything i mean it's like no i get it or like i mean i hear you say like a lot we all say like a lot i, but the young folks really use like a lot. Yeah. That's the one that gets me. I mean.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I mean. I mean. I mean. The wrong use of literally is also a bit of a pet peeve. Really? That's abused. You literally don't like that. I literally get annoyed when people overuse literally.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Should we get into the episode, Donald? Let's do it. I love it. Merry Christmas, everyone. What an episode. I literally get annoyed when people overuse literally. Should we get into the episode, Donald? Let's do it. I love it. Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm just going to jump right in and say, holy shit, you are so good in this episode. I forgot how Turk-centric it was. So did I.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It is a Turk episode. It is a Turk episode. It's a very Turk episode, Donald. It's a great moment. I'm not just saying this because I love you so much, but I do. But holy shit, you are so good in this episode. And I, multiple things. We could spend a whole episode of this podcast on that gospel fantasy.
Starting point is 00:08:00 We're going to spend plenty of time on it. Don't get me wrong. But also, your dramatic acting at the end when you're all upset, the scene with you and Judy on the roof, you running to the park. I just thought you did really, really good work. Oh, you're a sweetheart. You know, thank you, first of all. Second of all, this isn't necessarily one of my favorite episodes,
Starting point is 00:08:19 but there's so many really cool things that happened in this episode that I got to be a part of. One was obviously the gospel choir thing. That was a lot of fun. One of my favorite movies of all time is Coming to America. Me too. And also Which Way is Up. And in Which Way is Up, Richard Pryor plays a reverend in a church.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And in Coming to America, Arsenio Hall's portrayal of the reverend is amazing as well. Paul's portrayal of the Reverend is amazing as well. And so if I was doing anything in that scene, I was stealing from the two of them. Well, let's just get right to it. Let's get right to it. You are so fucking funny in that. And I watched it like multiple times just because that scene,
Starting point is 00:09:01 I think it's one of the, I honestly, I know we just started this, but I think it's one of the best fantasies in Scrubs history solely because of your performance. And I know that you're doing an homage to your favorite, one of our favorite movies coming to America, but you really made it your own. I mean, I just was dying laughing. The jerry curl, the swinging of the arms, the padding of the forehead. We're going to cut them open, and then we're going to sew them right back together. The swinging of the arms, the patting of the forehead. We gonna, we gonna, what are you gonna do? We're gonna cut them open, and then we're gonna stow them right back together. I remember that day, genuinely cracking up, and you were just going for it, man.
Starting point is 00:09:34 You were literally sweating your ass off because it was hot, as I recall. And you were just being- But I wasn't sweating my ass off, so you kind of used literally in the way that you hate it. Okay, you're right. Because I was literally sweating, but my ass off, so you kind of used literally in the way that you hate it. Okay, you're right. Because I was literally sweating, but my ass didn't fall off. You're right. Okay, there it is. I stand corrected.
Starting point is 00:09:52 There it is. It is literally not possible in the literal sense for someone's ass to be sweat off. I believe. I believe that's true. Joelle, please look that up. I had a lot of fun doing that scene, man. One of the great things was looking out into the audience also and seeing how background really enjoyed themselves.
Starting point is 00:10:12 And then also seeing familiar faces in the background. Colonel Doctor, for the first time, is in this episode. Wait, before we... You're jumping around. Let's just stay focused on you. We can't go to Colonel Doctor. But he's in the background. I know, but...
Starting point is 00:10:24 Yes, okay, sorry. But I didn't even want to go to Colonel Doctor. But he's in the background. I know, but yes. Okay, sorry. But I didn't even want to go to Colonel Doctor yet because it is his first appearance in a Scrubs episode. He shows up in the background of Sarah's scene first. Also, Neil Flynn in the background of this episode, clapping. Yes, that was funny. And what about me
Starting point is 00:10:39 when I get the spirit? And then you catch in the Holy Ghost. Dude, that freaked me out the first time I ever saw that. I'm going to be honest with you. You mean in real life? In real life. My first time ever seeing someone. Oh, you saw it in real life.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I saw, listen, I went to church with my babysitter. It was like a midnight mass type thing. And we went to church and we saw, first of all, people around us are catching the spirit, right? Catching the Holy Ghost. And they're losing it. And I was like, all right, I'm safe. I'm here with my babysitter.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I know she's not going to catch the Holy Spirit. Flash cut to she catches the bad boy. And I was like, yo! So how did she start acting? She just out of nowhere, she just started dancing, right? Like you did. Like your character does. Like JD does. She started dancing, right? Like you did, like your character does, like JD
Starting point is 00:11:25 does. She started dancing and then she started praising God, which is what, you know, as a youth, when you don't see stuff like that, like my grandmother was Episcopalian. So we had to go to Episcopalian church and stuff like that. And it wasn't like that. You know what I mean? Even though it was all black, it wasn't a Baptist church. You know what I mean? And when you go to a Baptist church, you know, they put it in. That's some... I'd love to do that, by the way. Oh, it's amazing. The choir, everything.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I would love to have the experience of going to a church like the one we're representing in this show. I just think it would be amazing. I've never seen that in real life. Obviously, I've seen it on TV and on video of people speaking in tongues and no judgments. Whatever works for you, that's amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Like you said, as a child, I was always like, oh my God, what is happening? Right. And it was so shocking to see someone reacting like that. To get touched by the spirit of God. I like the idea that JD got the spirit when you were such a good minister that it just came to him. Right. The music got into him and the creative got into him.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Was that scripted or did I just improv that? I don't recall. I don't know if it was scripted. I think you might have improvised it, to be honest with you. I think I just thought I said to Bill, like, oh my god, I should get the spirit. I think that was funny. Amazing. Amazing. What a scene, man. Great scene. The choir was great.
Starting point is 00:12:43 The choir was amazing, although we do have two of them that spike the lens and wave at the camera around 8.16. I don't know if you caught that. They may have caught the spirit, too, and decided to wave to the lens. But they were amazing. And by the way, am I mistaken, or did you, when you were just riveting? One of the things that was, you were so great, when you would be in your element and they would just tell you to go, whether that could be the famous dance you did that everyone always talks about or so many things.
Starting point is 00:13:13 But in this moment, when you were just riffing and being that preacher, I mean, you just got lost in it. And it was so amazing to watch you do that. But I remember that when you went, what's the name of the song we sing? Yeah, because I couldn't remember the song. I couldn't remember the song. You couldn't remember the name of the song. I couldn't remember the song. And they kept it in. I thought that was so funny.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Qua! It was supposed to be something like, qua! Let us bless the congregation with the song Christ the Lord. Right, right. And I remember getting down there and being like, qua! What's the name of the song we're singing? But you stayed in character. It was so funny.
Starting point is 00:13:54 You know, it was such a good lesson early on in Scrubs that if we stayed in character, a lot of that stuff could, if it was funny, would stay in. Right. And that was a perfect example of you doing that and Bill going in the edit room like, oh, that's funny. That's staying. Yeah, Yeah. So this whole episode,
Starting point is 00:14:09 it was written by... Deb Fordham. Deb Fordham. That's right. Who also wrote the musical episode. Right. Was one of the main writers on the musical episode and I think actually participated in writing a lot of lyrics for the famous musical episode. That's right. And Jeff Melman was the director,
Starting point is 00:14:27 and I just learned a little trivia that he directed some of the sitcom you did, The X's. Yeah. I did. Did you not put two and two together? I did not remember that. Do you remember? I do know who Jeff Melman is,
Starting point is 00:14:41 but now that you have said that, oh, yeah. He only directed one episode of Scrubs, and it was 20 years ago, so you're okay for not remembering that. But I don't know if you put two and two together that you also directed your sitcom The Exes. I think we even talked about him directing an episode of Scrubs when he directed the episode of The Exes. But anyway, yeah. And Kristen Johnston, who you did The Exes with, I bought her house.
Starting point is 00:15:01 That's where I live. Yeah, not only that, but you guys also did Twelfth Night together. We did Twelfth Night together in Central Park at the Delacorte. And that's when she said, hey, I want to move out of LA. I'm over it. Do you have any interest? And it was just at the time when I was starting to think about buying my first house. And what's funny is that she was quite an entertainer.
Starting point is 00:15:25 She threw a lot of bashes at the house. And so over the years, when I've told people that I bought the house from her, they're always like, ooh, I've been so fucked up in your house. Wow. Wow. Well, she's now sober, and she's written a wonderful book called Guts, which is out on the market right now.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And if you guys are listening and want a good read in the voice of Kristen Johnson, she also does the audio book. Check it out. It's very, very, very revealing. And she's very open about her addiction. And so if you get the opportunity. I've read the book and it's amazing and you should get it. And when you're hearing about some of her partying,
Starting point is 00:16:02 just know it was happening in my bedroom. Where you live now. Yo, somebody got mad did you oh man somebody got mad that i ruined that joke or that not the joke the bit of trivia i know on one of the last episodes i i said i was gonna do a trivia for donald involving the breakfast club and he ruined it and some And some guy wrote on Twitter, I was legit excited for a bit of trivia, and Donald did indeed ruin it. We got to filter in some more trivia to this show. Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, Deb Fordham, Jeff Melman.
Starting point is 00:16:35 It's a great episode. I got to say, you know, they're not all this good. This was a darn good one. And first thing I wrote down was Nurse Tisdale at 35 seconds in. Yes. Which is a homage to the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Now, some of you younger folk might not know that movie. You should watch it because it's a seminal 80s film. And I remember watching it at someone's house far too young to be watching it. I should not have been watching that movie at the age I was. And I remember feeling like, don't move because i don't want any adult to to to notice that i'm here and i'm
Starting point is 00:17:10 watching this and i probably shouldn't be watching phoebe kate's reveal her bosoms yeah uh do you remember when you saw that movie i do remember when i saw that movie and you know the one thing that stuck out from that movie for me was sean Penn totally awesome and his uh Jeff Spicoli yeah a little bit of trivia for you do you know who wrote that movie um yes it was Amy Heckerling no Cameron Crowe Amy Heckerling directed it absolutely okay Amy Heckerling who wrote and directed Clueless wrote and directed Clueless yes so it's six degrees of Donald Faison is what you're saying. Six Degrees of Donald Faison. Forrest Whitaker's also in that movie. He directed Waiting to Exhale and I was in it. And I remember going on the audition for Waiting to Exhale at the same time I was shooting Clueless, the movie. And I was,
Starting point is 00:17:59 you know, Forrest and I had a little conversation about his experience with Amy. And the reason why I got Waiting to Exhale, because I'm sure there were a bunch of people who auditioned for it, but Forrest told me, he was like, you know, I went with you because, you know, you're working with Amy and Amy gave me my start. And there was a form of nostalgia in it for me. That's really cool.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And so I got to be in Waiting to Exhale with Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Leela Breshawn. I got to, oh man, I got to meet several actors from Michael Beach to one of my favorite all-time performers, Gregory Hines. I've never seen the movie. I've got to be honest with you. You've never seen Wait and Exhale? No, but I'm going to write it down because we're looking for quarantine movies, and I
Starting point is 00:18:40 do love your work. You should watch Wait and Exhale. It's a lot of fun. Do you have a good part in it, or do I need to just fast forward to your scenes? No, you should watch the movie. The movie is actually very entertaining. And the soundtrack is amazing, by the way. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Baby face. You put your foot in it when you made that one. I don't know what that means. It just means he put some... He did a good job. He put a little struzy on it. What happened to baby face? He's still doing his thing.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh, I just haven't heard about him, his name in the public lexicon in a long time. Anyway, we digress. Let's get back in. Sorry, we digress. Nurse Tisdale, she's coming down doing an homage to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. By the way, if you haven't seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High, you should because it perfectly, I think, encapsulates a period of time in the 80s.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And it's a really, really, I mean, it was written by Cameron Crowe. I mean, it's a great movie. 58 seconds, Snoop, you know, showing up. Snoop's in a lot of this episode, Snoop Dogg intern.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Snoop Dogg was in a lot of this show. I know, it's funny. If you guys start looking at the background, you'll see. And not Snoop Dogg, real Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg intern show i know it's funny if you guys start looking at the background you'll see not snoop dog real snoop dog snoop dog intern if you'll see if you guys look if you guys look at these episodes uh closely you'll see that basically they're just they're just moving around the same 20 background folks and uh there's times where it's like there'll be one scene and snoops in the background and then we're upstairs and snoops in the background i'm like guys come on we just saw well he he worked a lot and then yeah but now we're upstairs and Snoop's in the background. I'm like, guys, come on. We just saw Snoop. Well, he worked a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And then, but now we're starting to introduce new characters. So you'll see Colonel Doctor. Yes, at 1.51, a momentous moment. Colonel Doctor, first appearance in the background. As Bill told us on the last episode, named because everyone thought he looked like Colonel Sanders. The Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials. And is he still alive or did he pass?
Starting point is 00:20:26 I believe he passed away. I believe he passed away. Well, he was an older fellow when we were doing this 20 years ago. Right. By the way, someone clarified for me on the social media interwebs that the Beard Fosse film I was trying to remember was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I knew it was a Fincher movie.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Oh, it was Fincher. You're right. Holy cow. So I was right about it being Fincher. It's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I knew it was a Fincher movie. Oh, it was Fincher. You're right. Holy cow. So I was right about it being Fincher. It's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Daniel Craig is on a plane and the camera sort of just dollies past a close-up of Beard Fosse. So thank you for the listener who helped me out with that. All right, on that, we're going to go to break. We'll be right back. If you've been following the news, you know that from health care access to safe schools, LGBTQ plus rights are under attack. And it's about time queer and trans youth get the microphone and tell their stories in their own words.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I'm Raquel Willis. Join me on my new podcast, Queer Chronicles, a show where LGBTQ plus folks tell their own stories in their own words. This season, teens will share all about growing up in political battleground states. I wish I could feel more comfortable in my own body here, but that's just not the case. And follow along as they discover what queer and trans liberation means to them. This isn't running away from yourself. It's running into who you want to grow into. Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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. You 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
Starting point is 00:22:46 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. Hey, my name's Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michael B. Jordan, and you can listen to it right now. Michael is known for his performances in both film and television. His breakout role was in Fruitvale Station, playing Oscar Grant,
Starting point is 00:23:28 which earned him widespread praise and numerous award nominations. His portrayal of Killmonger in Marvel's Black Panther, one of my favorites, further solidified his status as one of Hollywood's leading actors, earning him widespread acclaim for his complex and compelling performance. In our conversation, Michael really opens up.
Starting point is 00:23:46 You're going to love listening to it. And I can't wait for you to check it out. The closest to getting what you want is always the hardest. It's always the feeling when you're getting ready. You know, people give up right before they get what they always wanted to get. People quit. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald. And we're back. Hey, listen. I occasionally, season one, would go out partying with you during the week. Yes. Occasionally, yes. I was feeling myself. I had never had a dollar in my pocket let
Starting point is 00:24:26 alone um some some television show television show and you and i uh i can't i mean it's 45 years old you can't imagine you would ever do this but in our 20s we would occasionally go out the nights of filming occasionally i remember we would say things like all right look just want to do one shot how about just one i'm sure everybody out there can relate to your friend going how about just one yeah we're gonna do one shot hard to be at work hard six o'clock in the morning if we're gone by midnight we could be home by one and we still have a good five hours of sleep right hard cut to like at six in the morning we we're in Orlando Jones's swimming pool. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:25:07 It wasn't even six. It was like 445. Right. And it was the night. You had to be at work at six. And I had to. Did you have to go in or just me? You didn't have to go in.
Starting point is 00:25:16 No, I had to go in, but I didn't have to be in until like noon. Oh, man. If you looked at a graph of me being irresponsible at work, this was the high point. Because I think I was in Orlando Jones' pool hammered at 445. Yeah. And that day I had to shoot this Fonzie fantasy at 341. That starts at 341. So when you see that Fonzie thing, not only am I hungover, I'm still buzzed.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Right. Right. I'm still buzzed from partying with orlando jones dude to this day that's still one of the most epic nights i mean we've had some pretty epic nights but well because we were so young and fresh in the game and i hadn't met that many stars and right and i was just like i can't believe are we going to orlando jones's house yeah he was fresh off of doing uh he he had he had already said goodbye to the 7-Up commercials, and now he had the movie that had just come out with him and David Duchovny and Sean William Scott called Evolution or something like that. And we were all hanging out.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I don't know, but I was excited to be with any star. I was excited. I was just excited. I felt like I'm living the Hollywood dream. I'm not waiting tables anymore. I'm partying with Orlando Jones and Donald Faison in a pool. And Deontay Gordon with us, too. And Deontay Gordon, Donald's stand-in slash our friend.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And then I went and did this fantasy. So I was just watching it because I remember that, being in pain. And it's a very funny fantasy. So I was grateful this many years later I didn't ruin a moment for the fans because that's a funny fantasy. It's hilarious. He's not going to make it. Then you come in and you turn him on like he's the jukebox.
Starting point is 00:26:52 For those of you who are too young to remember, the Fonz, who I'm spoofing here, pretty much had magical powers in Happy Days. When it came to jukeboxes and women, yes, the Fonzie. Maybe in the beginning he was just jukeboxing, but then as I recall in later episodes of Happy Days, he could work magic with his tap. He could snap and women out of nowhere would show up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Fonzie had to move out of Milwaukee because he had dated every woman in Milwaukee, as I recall. That was a subplot. He had been on a date with every single woman in Milwaukee, so he had to go out of city for that. Right on. Such a funny scene that right on such a funny scene though such a funny scene and that's how you you know we all believe in miracles well that's how that's what starts off your really cool arc about testing
Starting point is 00:27:34 your faith and and so was it dropped from you you mentioned earlier that it was was your was church's religiousness dropped from here on out? Like, did it ever come up again? Did you stop wearing that cross? The cross is so prevalent. By the way, I love how you never see this cross ever before, but in this episode, because you're supposed to be religious, the cross is in every shot. Well, we shot it in another episode also,
Starting point is 00:27:57 but the cross is, it was, after this, you don't see the cross anymore, I believe. And we don't talk about Turk's faith really anymore. Which is bizarre because at the end of the episode, your faith is restored. I mean, you literally have a sign from God to go save a pregnant woman in the park. Right, like I just knew she was in the park. Yeah, how did you just know?
Starting point is 00:28:17 Did you even know? Does Turk even know Sarah's storyline about her having a pregnant woman? I think the whole hospital knows about it because she's escaped and everybody's on the lookout for her. So you're on the roof. By the way, how funny is it that Judy
Starting point is 00:28:31 trying to cheer you up wants to bang on the roof of the hospital? I know. I thought that was a funny plot line. Like, here, baby, I'll cheer you up. Let's have sex on this gravelly, dirty rooftop. Yeah. I look back at that.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I look back at that and I'm like, Turk, what were you thinking? I love how I'm watching it going, ugh, it's going to be so gross. And you're like, ugh, what was Turk thinking? I don't know. I think having sex in really awkward places is like such a thing you only see in movies. Have you had sex in awkward places before? Well, I'm not going to go too into my sex life for everybody.
Starting point is 00:29:12 But I think I have hooked up on the beach with someone and thought this looks way better in the movies. There's like sand in my creases. Yeah. No, I have never had sex in really any awkward places. There you go. We're giving the exclusive here on Fake Doctors, Real Friends, Donald Faison, never having sex in an awkward place. Like, I know people that have done it in some crazy places.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I'm like, you're out of your mind. There's people who are into that. They're like, they think of it like notches on their belt. Like, you're not going to believe where we banged the hospital roof. Yeah, Turk and Carla aren't that couple. What about those people who brag about having sex in airplane bathrooms? I always thought that would be humiliating to come out of the bathroom and everyone's looking at you and it's so obvious what you did.
Starting point is 00:30:00 It's not. Well, the thing is, not a lot of people have the opportunity to have sex over a mile above the earth. Right. And so I get the allure. You do get the allure. Yeah, I get the allure, but I'm not jealous of it, like you just said. I can't picture you doing that. It doesn't sound like a very Donald Faison thing to do.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I mean, you never know. Oh, so you might. I mean, if it's a private jet. Oh, a private jet doesn't count? I'm talking about a commercial airplane. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. Especially now after what we're going through right now with this whole quarantine thing. Oh, before the quarantine, you were definitely banging about.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Before the quarantine, I think a lot of people would be like, yeah, that's a possibility. But now I think after the quarantine thing, it's like, ah, there's a little too much germs. I can't picture Casey Cobb being like, there's no way. Absolutely not. I would be like, babe, let's do it. And she'd look at me like I was stupid. She'd be like, come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. That's funny. Alright, so the park's called Miller Park.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I couldn't help but think that might be for Krista Miller. Okay. Right? Yeah, sure. The park's called Miller Park. I mean, Bill said he's not great at naming shit, so. Speaking of Krista Miller. Okay. Right? Yeah, sure. The park's called Miller Park. I mean, Bill said he's not great at naming shit, so. Speaking of Krista Miller, she's back! She's back! And she looks beautiful, and she's funny as shit.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And 6.33 is the first time I say banana hammock. Now, what is a banana hammock? Is it the thing that Rob, a.k.a. Todd, wears? The tiny? Yes. Yes. a banana hammock is it the thing that rob uh that rob aka todd wears the the tiny yes yes and and it's called a banana hammock because obviously it's like laying your banana in a hammock okay now i guess there are people men that wear these for real strippers yeah i mean i think if you're comfortable If you don't have problems with your thighs rubbing together, banana hammocks are very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Could you ever consider... Would you ever consider... No, because... Wait, listen, before you answer, if you knew you weren't going to be photographed by a paparazzo... By the way, singular of paparazzi is paparazzo. I don't know if you knew that.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Okay. If you knew that you weren't going to be photographed and it would just be you on the beach in wherever, Brazil, would you rock one of those? If I had no worry about anyone ever seeing me in this, then why not go nude, right?
Starting point is 00:32:16 No, I'm talking about you're still on a beach. People are around. No, then no. I would not rock one of those. If people are around, then no. I would never rock one of those. I sometimes think it would then no, I would never rock one of those. I sometimes think it would be fun to wear a Speedo. Again, I don't want to wear it and have people look at me
Starting point is 00:32:31 and judge everything going on, but I just think sometimes when I see people wearing them, I go, I think that might feel nice to have a Speedo on the out and about. Yeah, I don't know. I don't... I prefer to... I have issues with chafing with my thighs and stuff like that because...
Starting point is 00:32:48 Oh, you don't have a thigh gap. Yeah, no, I got quads, and I got some... A thigh gap. I think I might have a thigh gap. Let me see. Yeah, I have a little thigh gap. I don't have a thigh gap.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Yeah, we have big legs. My inner thigh touch. Yeah, they clap. They clap clap that's the worst oh you want to talk about feeling uh feeling uh uh running with the chafe yeah after a while and then having the burn in between it's the worst you can't jog because of your thighs i can jog if i put on something like compression shorts but i I can't wear tighty-whities. I don't wear tighty-whities because even just walking is an issue with tighty-whities.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Yeah, I don't wear tighty-whities anymore either, but I used to be quite loyal to them. Yeah. The janitor is for no reason at 940 punched in the balls by a little girl, and both the little girl and the mom acknowledge the janitor. So, Bill, since you hold fast to the idea that the janitor
Starting point is 00:33:52 only reacted with JD in season one and may have been a figment of his imagination, why is it that a little girl randomly punches Neil in the balls and he reacts? Yeah, when the janitor got hit in the balls and he reacts uh yeah when the janitor got hitting the balls by that girl uh like the nine and a half minute mark uh you want me to explain how the janitor could only interact with jd if this actually happened that's easy um five six seven Um, five, six, seven, eight. No, Bill, stop. Man, turn it off. Fucking guy. Um, the old school PSA.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah, it's great. Hilarious. So funny. Very funny and very clever. Yeah, I mean, really, and just well executed. Kudos to Jeff Mellman, the director, and Deb for writing it. I thought that was just really clever, really well executed. Those sort of spoofing, those 1950s 1950s you know what do you call them instructional videos yes but then
Starting point is 00:34:52 afterward after the fantasy was over we did it again where uh the person who did the voiceover for the fantasy is now in the room with you right and. And then he brings up communism as though he's still back in the 50s. Right. And then he's looking off into the distance, I guess into nowhere, and then you look at him to see what he's looking at, and then you exit that direction. I think he was trying to be one of those,
Starting point is 00:35:17 picture a 1950s announcer guy who's looking off into the distance, and thus we will fight communism. And then he's sort of frozen like that. But but it was sort of a jd sort of head look so then i kind of did a look to him like are you doing my thing or what are you looking at and then i tried to look where he was going but that's pulling out of a fantasy and still being yes you know this is another example of that's not something that happened too often no this is like the second time it happened well we talked about the guy who was
Starting point is 00:35:45 frozen um after at the orderly who was frozen after everybody else was frozen it's not something i think bill i think he said that he started phasing that out but i thought it was clever very clever so same here um i um i have a couple of things we We shaved the baby. Okay. I laughed out loud. I laughed out loud. You shaved the baby? Yep. Shaved and a haircut. Two bits.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah, I laughed out loud. That was JD's improvisation for solving the problem. We shaved the baby. You shaved the baby? Yep. Shaved the baby. Shave and a haircut. Long paws.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Two bits. Bill told me early on that one of the things he loved about Michael J. Fox working on Spin City was that Michael J. Fox, and everybody, when you think about this, when you hear this, you'll think about family ties and some of the amazing timing he had, was that he knew how long he could milk a pause before that punchline like michael j fox was fucking genius at you know i'll just use this as an example how long he could have the audience especially if the audience got ahead of
Starting point is 00:36:58 it right he knew that you still i mean it's even better with a sitcom live audience, but he knew it. Shave and haircut, two bits. You know, like he could just milk it. That's pretty good. Even if the audience started, and a sitcom started giggling because they were ahead of it, he could just milk that. And Bill said, and I think that landed in my head
Starting point is 00:37:20 in some of my scrubs timings because I wanted to impress him like Michael J. Fox. But I always think of that when you watch some of Michael J. Fox's amazing timing, how he just was a master of how long to hold it. Like even let the audience get ahead of it, it's fine, and then say it, and it would be so much more gratifying. Right. I mean, Michael J. Fox is one of our best when it comes to just, you know.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Family ties. Did you watch Family Ties just- I mean, Family Ties. Did you watch Family Ties? Of course I watched Family Ties. He was amazing in that. And also Back to the Future. I talk about Back to the Future a lot because it's one of my favorite movies, but the first Back to the Future, I know there's some plot holes in it that a lot of people can't get over.
Starting point is 00:38:02 But to me, that movie is almost flawless. You know what I mean? Yeah. As far as time travel stories are so difficult to do. You know what I mean? Or I shouldn't say difficult to do. I should say they're just doing a time travel story. It's been done so many times before.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Right. And so you have to be pretty creative to make it feel like, oh, this is, you know, people say another time travel story. But if it's as good as Back to the Future was, you accept it and you're willing to go on the ride. Otherwise, it's like some cheese shit and, you know, theory gets in the way of a lot of stuff. And it's just one of those movies that, you know, you make a,
Starting point is 00:38:44 it's just, in my opinion, it's just one of those movies that, you know, you make a, you, it's just, it's in my opinion, it's one, it's a perfect movie. And wasn't it amazing that a movie could turn out that good. And it was a film that they started over because they recast the lead. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you mentioned this, you mentioned this before, but for those of you who didn't hear that or didn't know,
Starting point is 00:39:01 it was originally Eric Stoltz. I don't know how long they shot. You read the book. Do you remember? They shot half of the movie. So they shot all of the stuff in the 50s. That's incredible. They shot half of the fucking movie?
Starting point is 00:39:11 Yeah, so they shot everything in the 50s. When they talk about the movie, Michael J. Fox is very athletic, obviously. What's the name of this book? Do you remember? I don't remember it. The dude tweeted it. Joelle's going to look it up.
Starting point is 00:39:23 She's on it. But they shot half the movie. And they said, you know, Michael J. Fox is very athletic. But they said Eric Stoltz on a skateboard was magic. He just seemed way more at home on a skateboard than Michael. Probably was a skateboard, yeah. Right, than Michael J. Fox did. And, you know, the rock and roll side of things, they say in the book,
Starting point is 00:39:42 you know, Eric Stoltz had that, you know, has that very much grunge rock appeal to him you know what i mean and michael j fox is you know he is he is what he is he's you know you when you look at him you're not like yo that dude uh is just listens to rock all even even if he does you know what I mean? He doesn't have that look to him. And they said Eric did. It just didn't work out. Yeah. I mean, how humbling.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Can you imagine your, I mean, thank God Eric Stoltz went on to have this incredible career and holy shit in Mask. If you haven't seen the movie Mask. And that's the thing. So they talk about that in the book. The reason why he was put in the movie was because he had Mask, the Mask coming out. You know what I mean? And so they were banking on him getting nominated
Starting point is 00:40:25 for an Academy Award for that movie, but then being in this blockbuster, action-adventure, time-travel movie. The name of the book is Back to the Future. I gotta click on it. The Ultimate Visual History. Yes. Back to the Future, The Ultimate Visual History
Starting point is 00:40:41 by Michael Clasterin. Yeah. So if you're a fan of the movie as much as Donald is, you might want to check that out because it sounds fascinating. I'm always fascinated in these production stories where someone's recast or they start over. I mean, I don't know if it's true, so don't hold me to this, but I heard that American Beauty, which is one of my favorite movies,
Starting point is 00:41:01 they shot not as much as this, but they shot like a week of, which is one of my favorite movies. They shot like, not as much as this, but they shot like a week of, and the director said to the producers, I didn't get the tone quite right. You know, the tone of American Beauty is so specific. And as the rumor I heard goes, he said,
Starting point is 00:41:19 I just didn't quite nail it. I need to scrap that week and start over. And the DreamWorks producers, including Spielberg and the other fellows, let him do it. That's interesting because Spielberg's very much involved in Back to the Future as well. Oh, so maybe he's the kind of producer that if you're – it was Sam Mendes. Sorry, Sam Mendes' first film. And I love American Beauty. Please see that if you haven't.
Starting point is 00:41:38 But again, it might be Hollywood lore. But I heard that they sort of started over again on that one. So these stories where some movie is so incredible, it has such an impact, and then there's something that happened where they recast it. Well, it happens all the time. Some Star Wars movies, they did that with some of the Star Wars movies, like
Starting point is 00:41:55 Rogue One, apparently there's a whole, you know, they shot almost all of Rogue One and went back and re-shot a lot of the stuff in it. Really? Yeah. Same thing with Solo.
Starting point is 00:42:09 You remember, you know, we talked about Phil and Chris. Well, of course. That's changing the directors. That's even crazier. Yeah, but there's a whole cut. There's a whole movie. According to lore, there's a whole movie that they made that you can actually take all of the special effects and all of the things that they did in the actual solo movie and you can put it into what they shot and it's a completely different movie but it still all fits
Starting point is 00:42:32 what do you think happened they were obviously my guess is they were just doing their hilarious improv comedic thing and then kathleen kennedy that's her name did she just not like that style she's saying that's not star wars no i don't know if it was her i don't know if it was uh i don't know if it was the writer of the movie who's gone on to write some incredible movies uh jonathan kasdan it's jonathan but his dad wrote raiders of the lost ark yeah lawrence kasdan yeah he wrote raiders of the lost ark the empire strikes back and they both teamed up to write solo i don't know what happened i'd love to know that story right we could reach out to them and they want to be on the podcast and they both teamed up to write Solo. I don't know what happened. I'd love to know that story. Right. If we could reach out to them and they want to be on the podcast
Starting point is 00:43:07 and right here they want to talk about. I don't think even if we were to get Chris and Phil on the podcast, I don't think they're going to out their whole Solo story. No, not Chris and Phil. Let's ask Jonathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan. All right. They'll never do it. I don't think they'll do it.
Starting point is 00:43:19 How cool would it be if I could go and cut two and then they'd see it? You know, as the podcast gets bigger and bigger, maybe we'll be able to get like really fancy guests. Like, and now Lawrence Kasdan. Right. Yeah, I always wondered what happened with that because I don't know why you would hire Chris and Phil if not to do what they do so well, which was to make it funny.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And it seems to me, not as someone who's as dialed into the Star Wars universe as you, but when I think of Han Solo, I think, oh, let's give him some jokes. Let's have him be quippy and funny. And it seemed like a perfect marriage. It would be a real interesting, it'd be very interesting to see that, you know, that side of things. And I love Solo. You know what I mean? There are a lot of people out there that really like that movie.
Starting point is 00:44:02 And I'm one of those people. It's a fun Star Wars movie. So then Ron Howard came in. And you know, he's an amazing director himself. Right. You know what's one of my favorite Ron Howard movies is Parenthood, the movie. If you haven't seen Parenthood.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Great movie. Great cast. Great movie. Amazing cast. They went on to make a very popular TV show starring my doppelganger, Dax Shepard. I'm going to tell you something right now. That movie has one of my favorite
Starting point is 00:44:26 actors. I am a huge fan of Rick Moranis. Yeah, where's Rick Moranis been? He's amazing. Yeah, he's on his way. I guess he's agreed to do another project. I don't know what it is, but he's amazing. Honey, I shrunk the kids. Maybe he's coming back for that. That would be so awesome. I know they're redoing that with Josh Gad, and I think that
Starting point is 00:44:41 he might be joining him. Joelle's nodding. So that means. Yeah. Rick Moran has tragically lost his wife at the height of his career. So he quit to raise his children and now his children are grown and he's coming back. And I'm so excited. He's so talented. I'm so, I'm so happy. He's coming back. He's a funny, funny man.

One of my favorite fantasies, and I still use it to this day, I ain't buying it, trying to sell somebody the book on the kid getting hit, the baby with prenatal lice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:26 And Krista says. I ain't buying it. Jordan says, I ain't buying it. At the checkout stand. That was funny. I ain't buying it. That's funny. And you passed something that I want to say still about shaving the baby's head that was funny.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Oh, when Johnny sees mad that I didn't correctly tape over the. And by the way, for those of you who are young, that's a VHS recorder. So there used to be these giant tapes called vhs tapes um but i was laughing and when johnny sees yelling at me because i i fucked up the tape and and i go i i was there i could you know jot down some of my feelings and impressions it's a very woody very woody allen i could i could you could jot down some of my feelings and impressions. What am I going to do? Write down, and then the head emerged. Let's talk about Johnny C. McGinley as the Grinch.
Starting point is 00:49:16 That was really funny. He nailed that. Yes, he did. And the words that he's saying, are those words from Dr. Seuss' nursery rhymes? I think they're supposed to be Dr. Seuss-y, but they're not real Seuss words. But they're not real Seuss words. Yeah, but they did a great job on his hair and makeup. I thought he looked really cool, and he was funny looking.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I wonder how long he was in hair and makeup for. I could tell from being on the show. That was hours and hours and hours. He had hair, like green hair glued to his face and stuff. Yeah. Hours and hours and hours. He had hair, like green hair glued to his face and stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Sinner Man by Nina Simone, which is, they really must have rolled out the bucks to pay for Nina Simone on this episode as you run to Miller Park. To Miller Park. You know, that was what I was talking about when we were talking about the platform shoes and having to run. Oh, that's when they made Deontay run? They made Deontay do all of the things that you saw me do in that episode in 12-inch platform shoes. However much shorter he is than me. So eight-inch, whatever it is. Why are you running a cartoon character? Do you notice that?
Starting point is 00:50:15 It's like this really dramatic moment. And then you're taking corners. You know how when cartoon people run, they skid at the corners and they have to catch up? You're doing that shit. I'm like, bro's all come it all comes from michael j fox man speaking we spoke about him earlier it really is true man mike michael j fox had some of the best running moments in the history of running in teen wolf when he's running through the halls and the guy's mopping and he's like, it's slippery that way. And Mike runs through
Starting point is 00:50:46 and then slides all the way through camera, all the way through the hallway and then comes running back. But as he's coming back, he's trying to keep his balance on the slippery floor. So you're saying that moment, you're running in this was inspiring? Everything I've done in-
Starting point is 00:51:01 Everything I do, I do it for you. I do it for Michael J. Fox. Well, no, but there's a, whether it's a run or a walk or a facial expression, a lot of these come from my favorite actors. So like Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Michael J. Fox, Rick Moranis, Robin Williams, Bill Murray. Michael J. Fox, Rick Moranis, Robin Williams, Bill Murray. All of these people did something that I saw, and I was like, I'm going to try and do my I wrote down in 1918, Turk runs like a cartoon character. Right. That all came from me trying to run like Michael J. Fox.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yeah. So Turk gets a sign. He's on the roof again, right? You're on the roof again? Yeah. And you're just up there having a moment and you have a come to jesus moment if you will that there's a pregnant woman about to give birth in the park and you run and you run like a cartoon character to nina simone's sinner man beautiful song and uh and then you run to the park and you deliver a baby now turk probably
Starting point is 00:52:02 hasn't delivered that many babies oh Oh, he's a surgeon. I imagine, but he's not. Yeah. He's probably done a fair amount. I imagine that he's, he's not a gyno, but I know.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Oh, I want to go to something that Joelle does. Speaking of gynos, we're jumping around, but in the very beginning of the episode, Kelso is, is being sexist and saying to Sarah that she's going to become a, a gynecologist OBGYN. And then Joelle found this thing.
Starting point is 00:52:25 According to an article by the American Medical Association, the breakdown of specialties dominated by women in 2019, 83.4% of OBGYNs are women. Wow. And 72% of pediatricians are women. Am I reading that right, Joelle? So you also had it right. Well, I mean, I was offended by Kelso.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I was like, fuck this guy. And then Joelle handed me this. And, you know, I guess. But I understand that. Have your OBGYNs been female or male? First one was a guy. I was asking Donald, Joelle, but please. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Joelle. I can't handle answering this question. Like, for his wife? Donald doesn't have an OBGYN. Oh, my God. I'm laughing so hard. Joelle got so lost in the episode, she started answering. You were totally asking Joelle.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Wait, Joelle, i want i want you to answer don't get me wrong but uh but you go first then and then we'll call on donald donald has had 11 000 children so i wanted to know what go for you joelle have your ob-gyn's been uh mostly i'd say mostly uh three women one guy how about you donald my life casey's uh is a male and you and your other other baby mam, do you remember? You don't remember. It's okay not to remember. I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I feel like if I was giving birth and I had a vagina, I'd want a woman. But maybe that's ridiculous to say. What's my gut response? Okay, well, here's a good survey we should do. And we won't use that as an example. Let's use massaging as an example okay yeah yeah because that's pretty intimate and it's harmless and right what do you get a man or woman what exactly what do you get a man i always get a woman same here joelle strongest hands
Starting point is 00:54:17 who has the strongest hands so you choose so that's what you say you say you say who's got the best hands so when they say man or female male or female you say. So you just say who's got the best hands. So when they say male or female, you say strongest hands. Absolutely. Oh, at the end, I thought it was funny that Sarah was, you're holding Judy in front of you, but Sarah's holding me in front of her in front of the Christmas tree. Yes. That was funny.
Starting point is 00:54:38 I also, there was one other part that we should talk about, and that's when Cox and Jordan are fighting each other about their haircut shaving and everything like that and then you jump in the middle and then they automatically turn on jd and that's a lesson that i've learned at a young that i learned at a young age i guess jd was never you know i didn't have friends that had brothers or sisters or anything like that but never get involved when a couple is fighting. You stay out of it.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Unless they invite you into the argument, stay away because that thing will turn on you so quick. It's hard sometimes because you want to weigh in, but you can't. But you got to keep it to yourself. You got to keep it to yourself. I had friends growing up, the Rogers brothers. There was four of them, right? And they would, you know, when they fought, fought they would fight viciously punching and grabbing and choking and you know they would beat each other up and you'd be like you guys are brothers stop it and you'd get in
Starting point is 00:55:33 the middle of it and then their anger all of a sudden went from them wanting to kick each other's ass to now them kicking your ass and two on one ain't fun, dude. Or three on one, four on one ain't fun, man. And it would be, it would be, I would. So when JD did that to Jordan and Cox, I was like, that's the dumbest. That's the, that's a rookie mistake. That's the dumbest move ever. Never get involved in couples arguing. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Well, I, I, I definitely try and stay out, but in your head, you're thinking like you're, you're judging and you're saying like, but aren't you also happy when you're out in public and you see a couple fighting and you're like, yes, it's not me. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That's the one thing that my wife and I try not to do. It's always like, wait till we get home. Wait till we get home. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:56:20 You do the wait till we get home. I don't do that. That's what she does to me. Oh, really? We're going to talk when we get home. I don't do that. That's what she does to me. Oh, really? We're going to talk when we get home. Right? And I know right then and there, I'm not going to sleep tonight. It's the worst.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And then you have to drive home and just like in silence. Yeah. And then you walk in and it's on. And my wife's the type of person that's like, I don't like going to bed mad. Well, at least she has it out. I think that's way better to have it out, even if it's, like, impassioned, rather than just sitting on it. I hate that. And I don't think you should go to sleep mad either.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I think that's a good habit to have. Dude, I've been damn near sleeping where I'm just in, uh-huh, where I'm passed out. My eyes are closed, and I'm just agreeing now. Right. Just so I can go to sleep. The path of least resistance. And she'll be like, so what did I say?
Starting point is 00:57:08 And I'll be like, oh, God, there you go. See, you weren't listening. I was listening. Don't go to bed angry, everybody. That's a lesson here from fake doctors, real friends. Oh, one last thing I forgot. And let's ask Bill about this also. Go ahead. You're going to get Bill too this week. Okay, real friends. Oh, one last thing I forgot. And let's ask Bill about this also. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:57:26 You're going to get Bill too this week. Okay, go ahead. Okay, so there was an alternate ending to this episode. Right, but that's so dark. It's so dark. It was so dark to end the Christmas episode. I wasn't even bringing it up because we were being so giddy and it's a bit dark. But okay, go for it.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Yeah, there was a dark ending to this episode. And I'm sure the fans want to know. I don't think it was. Was it an ending or was a subplot that was woven through? I think it was a subplot. It might have been. Let's ask Bill. Bill, I know at the end of this episode, there was a moment in between Jordan
Starting point is 00:57:55 and, we almost forgot about the call. There was a moment with Jordan and Cox where they said something different when they were looking at the baby, when they finally went to visit the baby. And it meant something. No, there was a subplot.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Do you want me to tell you what it is and then have Bill talk about it? Sure. It was a subplot that they, when they were together, had lost a child. And so that was some of the dramatic undertones of them and dealing with their friends having a new baby. And that's why they didn't want to go to the room. Right. And I believe, or the nursery where you see kids. And I believe that Bill had an argument with the network about cutting that out.
Starting point is 00:58:39 So Bill, tell us about that and what your struggle with the network was, please. You know, it's interesting. I don't remember specifically the struggle with the Jordan Cox losing a baby thing. But the one thing that we were always dealing with early on in Scrubs was that we would pitch the network stories that weren't specifically comedies. And it didn't sound like, like hey three patients come in and one of the three of them is going to die but they all three die hey dr cox used to be married to someone they lost a baby hey we're going to introduce a super big movie star guest star who seems really funny and jovial but he's going to have leukemia and then come back next year and
Starting point is 00:59:19 die from it so we always met resistance thank you bill let Bill. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. If you've been following the news, you know that from healthcare access to safe schools, LGBTQ plus rights are under attack. And it's about time queer and trans youth get the microphone and tell their stories in their own words. I'm Raquel Willis. Join me on my new podcast, Queer Chronicles, a show where LGBTQ plus folks tell their own stories in their own words. This season, teens will share all about growing up in political battleground states. I wish I could feel more comfortable in my own body here, but that's just not the case. And follow along as they discover what queer and trans liberation means to them. This isn't running away from yourself.
Starting point is 01:00:21 It's running into who you want to grow into. running away from yourself. It's running into who you want to grow into.

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.
Starting point is 01:01:01 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.

Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Starting point is 01:03:02 That is definitely going to happen. Speaking of ringtones, I digress for a moment. The good people at iHeart are putting together the ability for folks to have our theme song be your ringtone. We're working on it. And that's in the works because I've been getting a lot of love on the social media for our theme song, especially Wilder's version.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Wilder's version will not be available. That's not going to be available. Wilder's version will not be available. That's not going to be available. Wilder's version will not be available for ringtone. Although I did hear a lot of people say that should be the new version. Forget your version. But those people are wrong. Brian, what you drinking, man? What are you drinking, Brian?
Starting point is 01:03:37 This is beer. What kind of beer you got there? It's like a hazy IPA, juicy, 8%. I like stuff that's strong okay well i got myself a little margarita oh that's awesome is that just like lime juice tequila i don't know what they use at casa vega there's a restaurant in my neighborhood that they oh you're still drinking out of your your gallons there we have so many yeah oh that's awesome um hi guys where do you live and what's happening and And Brian, introduce your girlfriend, wife, friend.
Starting point is 01:04:06 This is my partner. This is Dr. Ellen Acree. Hi, Doc. Hi, Doc. And we live in Evanston, Illinois. Oh, I went to Northwestern. Right. Yeah. So we we we both worked here actually, too. She works at a hospital here and I own a small business on central street you know right down from the stadium um and so yeah we just um we do that and ellen is uh eight and yeah almost nine months pregnant i'm almost at the finish line congratulations congratulations you guys know what you're having a boy nice person but yeah a person yeah good congratulations guys that's cool thank you way to go guys yeah so we're you know it's definitely uh anxiety causing you know i i we neither of us have had kids before um i used to be a teacher uh but it's not quite the same when you know you
Starting point is 01:04:59 can send them home at like three o'clock and just be done with them um so now it's like they're here for good. Okay. Brian, I'm going to give you a little bit of, you're talking to the right man, Brian Donald. I know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:10 That's what I heard. Nine, right? Yeah. Something like that. He doesn't even remember. Something like that. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:16 That's a great, that's a great story. How many kids you got? Something like nine, I think. Six that I know about. So the first year, Brian, there's not much you can do.
Starting point is 01:05:29 Nice. That's the honest to goodness truth. Except be supportive, change diapers. But there's not much you can do because the baby's not going to- Can't you say, honey, can I get you anything? Absolutely. You better say that. You have to say that. That's supportive, right?
Starting point is 01:05:42 Yeah, that's being supportive. So there's not much you can do the first year it's after that where you are you are hands-on and in it to win it or she's gonna leave you yeah remember that yes yeah brian write that down yes yes she is basically keeping us comfortable so i'm not gonna play with that at all. Right on. Well, I'm so happy for you. That's exciting. Thank you. And do you have any names in mind, like Zach or Donald? Yeah, I wanted Jennifer Dillon or something like that.
Starting point is 01:06:14 That'll work. It's a boy. So we went with Ellen. We're going to name him Gabriel and call him Gabe. Beautiful. I love it. Beautiful name. Beautiful name.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Gabe Finn O'Malley. Oh, Finn's a good name too. Now, Finn from Star Wars or just Finn because... Not everything is Star Wars, Donald. Sometimes it can be. Honestly, I was thinking more Huck Finn from Mark Twain, to be honest. There's that Finn too. Way more literary,
Starting point is 01:06:41 Donald. Come on. There's that Finn too. All right, Brian, go ahead with your question for the legendary donald fazan or it's for both of you yeah i'll answer it definitely relates to what we were talking about but um i was curious which uh character between you and donald and maybe uh dr cox do you think was like the best dad overall and then kind of a follow-up but like what do you think their kids would be like now like 15 20 years later wow wow good question well i do think both characters were very excited about their children and um and uh i think we saw from a flash forward as i recall that don't they end up getting married they do and we and we lose it oh i think that was like i think that was the saddest episode i think i faint uh as i recall i did this i i wiped my i fanned my eyes and fainted
Starting point is 01:07:33 yeah that's a gif i see all the time um i don't know i think we'd be great parents because um you know we're both characters were again not afraid of showing emotion, not afraid of being affectionate. My father was a very affectionate man and gave me hugs and kissed me. And I always thought that that was important. And I love that he did that. And I think that both Turk and JD would be very involved. They're the kind of fathers that would want to be all over it. Not one of those people that's like, all right, to the woman, you handle it.
Starting point is 01:08:09 I'll coach sports one day. That was not my experience. What about you? What do you think, Donald? I think Turk and JD co-parented too. You know what I mean? I think they helped each other out as far as raising their kids went. You know, they say it takes a village to raise a child. And I think their little village, I think the hospital or, you know, wherever they wound up when the show ended, I believe they still lived in the same proximity of each other i think there it was a communal raising of the children even even uh i think yeah i think jd i uh and uh what was what was elizabeth bank's
Starting point is 01:08:55 character's name kim was it kim kim you didn't know zach shut the fuck up you didn't know i was waiting for brian no i was waiting for brian i was about i was like i was like this i was like about to say i was like pretending that my mouth was opening and then brian said i was yeah kim donald i was waiting for zach sorry so my baby mama my baby mama right so i think both kids the one that he that jd had with kim and the one that he had with elliot uh and then turk's kids as well. I think they were raised together and they grew up together. I think in one of the episodes
Starting point is 01:09:29 you tried to like, I think they got, you were trying to set them up, right? Like it was one of the series finales, maybe? That we were trying to set the kids up? Yeah, weren't they like, they met or something? As babies. I remember doing an episode in the park where we're both
Starting point is 01:09:45 like ventriloquist dolls like dummies do you have another question uh i mean one of my other questions was just you know advice for being a dad but you you kind of already covered that you got this dude um you got yeah i mean it's listen my advice and i'm gonna be honest with you my advice ain't shit i'm gonna keep it 100 with you. You know, it's how you two decide to do the thing. You know what I mean? My advice, all I can say is just show as much love as you can to your boy. That's so important. I like what Zach was saying, too.
Starting point is 01:10:19 I mean, me and Alan were joking, but I was like, I think, like, the fact that JD was a sensi, you know, like, being sensitive is, like, an important thing to impart in kids early, especially boys, I think nowadays. And so I think that's one of our, you know, our big focuses for him. And just let them be whoever they are. You know, a testament to my father was he wasn't he was so into sports, my dad, but he wasn't trying to make me a jock. He wasn't. Fortunately, he was also into theater, which, which was what I took to. But, um, but I mean, just like my advice and again, I have no kids, so don't listen to me. I have dogs and I can highly recommend crate training. Uh, I don't
Starting point is 01:10:53 know if you guys want to try that, but, um, with the kid. Yeah. That's what I, that's what I always say to Donald. When I, when I say to, when I'm with Donald and his kids are misbehaving, I'm like, why don't you just put them in the crate, dude? That works great for my puppy. My daughter looked at me and she was like, you're going to put me in the cratebehaving. I'm like, why don't you just put them in the crate, dude? That works great for my puppy. My daughter looked at me and she was like, you're going to put me in the crate? Yeah. She's like, you're in that crate right now. She's like, but I'm not a dog.
Starting point is 01:11:12 But I mean, just let them, one of the things I really cherished about my relationship with my father was that he was so accepting of whoever his kids were. And I, you know, you're obviously, it's nature nurture. You're going to be shaping a part of who they are, of course, too. But but let them show you who they are and then and then and then celebrate that and let that flourish. Again, that's coming from someone with no children, but it is coming from someone who who had a great dad and was really appreciative that he was like that. Well, can I ask one more thing sort of related? But
Starting point is 01:11:44 did you guys you know, I didn't look up biographies. Do you guys have siblings? Yes, I have several siblings. I have four brothers. Two that I grew up with and two that I did not grow up with. But we were
Starting point is 01:11:59 a big family. I think that's why I have such a big family now. I feel like it's the more the merrier. I have two why I have such a big family now. I feel like it's the more, the merrier. I have three... Sorry, let me start again. I had four children total in my family, and I'm sorry, I'm struggling with this just to be honest. I lost my sister two years ago, so I'm literally trying... Oh, I'm so sorry. It's okay, but I'm trying to answer this question honestly, and it's like I'm having to recount. There were four children in my family, and then my parents got divorced and remarried and I gained three stepsisters so two stepsisters on one side one stepsister on the other side so we we're we're
Starting point is 01:12:34 a huge family and and yeah so I also think you guys should have more so sorry sorry guys but you're gonna have to have more kids so they can well that's what I was thinking because we only have the one and that's probably going to be it. So, you know, the whole only child, especially nowadays when I don't even know when he'll be able to hang out with other kids, you know, or he'll be able to go to preschool or stuff like that. Daycare. Right. I think you've got it some years before you worry about that. So hopefully vaccines or something like that will be invented and we can all go back to a new normal sometime within a year or two. Yeah. That would be awesome. Is the keg still open in Evanston?
Starting point is 01:13:15 The bar? No. The keg is closed. That's where we used to go and try and sneak in with our fake IDs. Yeah. That's probably why they closed. It's a bar or beer shop type place. What's the name of your place? It's probably why they closed. I actually own a bar, beer shop type place. What's the name of your place?
Starting point is 01:13:27 It's called Beer on Central. It's not very inventive because we're on Central Street. Do you want us to do an ad for it right now? We're going to do an ad for it. Donald, when I'm in Evanston, Illinois and I want a beer, you know where I go? Where do you go, Zach? I go to Beer on Central. Beer on Central? Is that a place? Oh, it's a place and it's in Evanston.
Starting point is 01:13:43 If you're going to buy beer, it's the best place to buy beer. It's called Beer on Central. Is it on Central? Is that a place? Oh, it's a place and it's in Evanston. And if you're going to buy beer, it's the best place to buy beer. It's called Beer on Central. Is it on Central? It's on Central. It's called Beer on Central. Oh, awesome. And you know, a lot of Northwestern students are always looking for a place to buy beer. Do you sell kegs, Brian? We don't, but I mean, after this, I can. Yes. Brian is going to change his whole business model to offer kegs to all you college kids. This advertisement, I'll do that. Yes. This is worth millions of dollars in free advertising. Yeah, no, this is insane.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Beer on Central. Beer on Central. The next time I'm in Evanston, Illinois, I am going to check out beer on Central. Yeah. And you know what, Donald? You know what, Donald? I might even just go to Evanston to buy beer from Beer on Central. You know what?
Starting point is 01:14:27 If you do, just tell them Brian O'Malley sent you. I will. Brian, what's a beer that you recommend? Oh, Brian's the only one there. So it'd be like, Brian. Right now, during everything. Brian, for those people who are listening who like beer, can you recommend one of your micro brew or fancy beers that people should try
Starting point is 01:14:48 that you highly recommend? Right now, what's really popular is, like I was drinking earlier, these hazy IPAs. They tend to be kind of stronger, very juicy, not bitter, very popular. This one's from St. Aaron. They're great. Hot Butcher. There's a bunch of really cool ones in the city. So St. Aaron is the brand? the brand this one yeah that's what i'm having now is a saint aaron can i get that anywhere can i get that in los angeles no like right now we only do local stuff oh so you're only doing low that's even cool one of the other things i like about beer on central don what is that is it's all it's all local, my. You're talking about beer on Central? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:26 One of my favorite things about beer on Central in Evanston, Illinois, is that it's all stocked with local breweries. That sounds delicious. I like IPA a lot, by the way. And this is going to sound really lame in Hollywood, but I'm gluten-free. And there are some really good gluten-free IPA beers. Yeah, we have some too. There's one called Omission.
Starting point is 01:15:49 I'll give a shout out to. Yeah, we have Omission. And there's one I think called Gutenberg, not Steve Gutenberg, Glutenberg maybe? Gutenberg. Glutenberg. Yeah, they'd have gluten in the title. So there you go. I'm giving those beers a shout out, and they should advertise with us because we're giving
Starting point is 01:16:01 such a wonderful advertisement to beer on. I can rob you guys out of box. Give me an address. I'll send you out some beer. I'm not giving you my address. That's fair. Give me a P.O. box. No, we don't want to take your wares. We don't want to take your wares.
Starting point is 01:16:16 You need to make that money for this baby. She's making all the money, really. So that being said, if you're ever in Evanston, Illinois, the place to go for a great local beer, Beer on Central. Beer on Central, everybody. Beer on Central.

Starting point is 01:18:32 No. What is Courvoisier? It's a drink. It's a brown liquor. You know, for a while I was— Joelle, what's Courvoisier? She's looking. I was a Hennessy drinker for a while
Starting point is 01:18:45 you know or uh e and j i liked e and j back in the day i don't know what any of these drinks are you don't know what hennessy is i've heard of hennessy but i don't think i've ever tried i don't know what hennessy you've had an incredible hulk before and you don't know what hennessy is you remember the incredible hulk oh we used to play poker and you would make a oh it's cognac she says we used to play um poker and you would make a drink. Oh, it's cognac, she says. We used to play poker and you would make a drink called the Hulk. Was that a real drink or you made it up? I didn't make that up. But when you mixed Hennessy and not Alizé, but hypnotic.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Hennessy and hypnotic mixed together. Sounds horrible. Oh, but it would turn Hulk green. And you'd only need one. It was so sweet, right, and you'd only need one. It was so sweet, right? But you'd only need one to knock you on your ass. And we would play poker, and the crew would come over. You know, Calvin would come over.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Ethan would come over. You would come over. And we'd drink that all night and freaking be hammered until like 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock in the morning. Yeah, playing poker. Have you ever had a cement mixer? What the heck is that? It's fucking nasty. It's two different things.
Starting point is 01:19:51 You guys can Google it if you want to puke. I remember doing this on my 21st birthday and I puked. But it's two different alcohols you put in your mouth and they solidify when they react with each other and it feels like a cementy oatmeal thing. That's disgusting. It's so gross. That is disgusting. It's the kind of thing that college kids do shots of like Jägermeister.
Starting point is 01:20:13 You ever do shots of Jägermeister? Yeah. I'm proud to say that at 45 years old, I can't drink like that anymore. Nor do I want to. A hangover is like four days. Yeah. I,
Starting point is 01:20:22 you know, I've learned a little thing. Do you remember we did that thing in Scrubs? Yeah, P.D. Light. We did that thing in Scrubs that has become so relevant in my life. I don't know what episode it was, but we went around the table of all the different ages of women. Who was the- Was Mandy the young one?
Starting point is 01:20:39 It was Mandy. It was Mandy Moore. And then Sarah. And then Judy. And then Krista. And then Krista and they were all hung over and the camera went around and showed all the different levels of
Starting point is 01:20:50 how a hangover affects different ages and then by the time it got to Krista she had sunglasses on and was asleep and just blacked out yeah with a smile on her face I think of that moment all the time because man a hangover at 45 is not a hangover at 25.
Starting point is 01:21:07 No, it's not. Listen, I miss you. Do you? It's always so nice to touch base with you. Do you really miss me? I really do, man. If the world were open, I'd have you over. We'd sit by the pool.
Starting point is 01:21:21 We'd have a margarita. I'd bring my pitcher of margarita to you. You'd bring your pitcher over. I'm supposed to write today, but I would scrap writing and just join you by the pool for margaritas. That's what would happen today. You're working right now, huh? I am.
Starting point is 01:21:35 I'm writing. Look, do you want to see? I'll show you. Look at this. This is just showing that shit ain't fucking around. This is the first draft. Wow. You're for real about it.
Starting point is 01:21:43 He just pulled out a two finger. That's about an inch of, uh, yeah, it's way too long right now. A typical screen, a typical screenplay for those of you, uh, not in the know is roughly 120 pages because they say roughly a script works out to a page a minute and you don't want your movie typically to exceed 120 minutes. And this first draft is 144 pages. So there'll be lots of cutting to occur, but it's happening, Donald. The wheels are turning. Good for you. Good for you.
Starting point is 01:22:13 Aren't you going to ask what you usually ask when I write a screenplay? Are there any black people in it? There are black people in it, and there might even be a part for you. A good part, or are you just going to throw me a little bone? You'll probably have to audition. When I gave Donald my first draft of Garden State, he said... No, you said to me,
Starting point is 01:22:31 I really want you to read my script. It was a big thing. It was my first screenplay. He was my new best friend, and I said, I'd really like you to read this. And he said, are there any black people in it? And I said, there's one or two. One you're not right for because he's an African man that's been adopted by Natalie Portman's family.
Starting point is 01:22:52 And the other is being- At the time, you had given the part to most deaf is what you said to me. No, I didn't. Yeah, you did. Really? It was always Method Man. It was, okay. So then it was method it was always method man it was okay so then it was method man at the time yeah you said you said yeah and then the other part i gave to
Starting point is 01:23:09 method man yeah and i knew right then and there that i would never read that script and so donald donald in protest because i had given the role uh to to method man um never read the script it's great movie though thank you, very, very well received also. Thank you. And you're in. Thank you. Oh, Dan's giving thumbs up. And Donald, I didn't make the same mistake twice.
Starting point is 01:23:34 And I made sure to put you in Wish I Was Here. Yeah. And I was very happy to be in that movie as well. Great movie. Mandy Patinkin, holy cow. Yeah. And you were very funny in that movie. You only had-
Starting point is 01:23:44 Mandy Patinkin. Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, great movie. Mandy Patinkin, holy cow. Yeah, and you were very funny in that movie. You only had- Mandy Patinkin, let's get, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, holy cow. Yeah. Kate Hudson, holy cow. Yeah, there's some great performances in that movie. Great performances. Jim Parsons is funny as shit in that movie. Let's give a shout out to the film Wish I Was Here, which you can see. I think it's on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:24:00 You know how I know it's on Netflix, at least in the United States, is Joey King, who plays my daughter, has become so famous. Joey King, holy cow. Joey King steals the movie and has become so famous that Netflix has redone the poster, so it's just Joey King's face. Even if you don't
Starting point is 01:24:18 watch the movie, do me a favor and go to your Netflix and look up Wish I Was Here, and you will see it's a picture of Joey King's head because she has become such a big star, and particularly on Netflix with Kissing Booth, which was like one of their most watched movies ever. And I just thought it was funny that Netflix was like, no, we don't need Kate Hudson, Zach Braff, Josh Gad, Manny Patankin on the poster, just a shot of Joey's head. But much deserved.
Starting point is 01:24:41 She's a superstar, that kid. She is a superstar. Thank you so much for listening to fake doctors, real friends. I'm your cohost, Zach Braff, along with my friend, Donald phase on here to make you laugh here to make you smile with a touch of
