get what they've always wanted to get. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Donald, they're making a Lando series for Disney Plus,
and Donald Glover's coming back,
and I just don't see how anyone could avoid you being on this show.
Wait, Donald, how did I miss this?
This happened this morning.
Oh, see, Joelle, I had it right.
Yeah, this is brand new news.
I think they just dropped a trailer.
I haven't watched the trailer yet.
A trailer?
There's a trailer already?
I think, yeah, somebody was saying that there's some images on Disney+,
so I'm not sure if they cut a trailer from the footage.
Nobody called me.
Nobody called me.
Listen, wait, to Will, it's already been filmed?
No, it hasn't been filmed.
No, no, no.
I think it's footage from Solo that's been cut up.
Yeah, so he's in there doing his Lando thing, and they're like, coming soon.
Lando Calrissian.
Listen, I was going to say, Solo's a good movie.
Y'all can hate if you want to and act like Solo sucks.
I didn't make it through Solo.
Let's just, let me just, listen.
Let me just tell you something right now.
There was nothing wrong with Solo.
It was a fun Star Wars movie. If it had come out before The Last Jedi,
when everybody was kind of over Star Wars for that little bit of time, I promise you it would
have been well received. The problem was it was Rogue One, The Last Jedi, and then Solo all within
a year and a half. And that freaking made it so everyone was like,
I'm not up for it. It's too much Star Wars
for me. It's too much Star Wars.
Listen, if that
were The Force Awakens, let's say
how about this? Now, even better. Let's not go down
a whole Star Wars wormhole, please. I'm not gonna go
down a wormhole. What if that was one
of the first
television shows? Let's say that was
what The Mandalorian was. If that was what The Mandalorian was.
If Solo was what The Mandalorian was when it came on, everybody, and they were like,
look, we're not going to make it a movie.
We're just going to make it a television show.
We're going to do nine episodes of Solo.
And the first episode was the movie that we saw.
Everybody would be losing their mind on how great Solo was.
So don't give me the bullshit.
It was just too much Star Wars.
I'm going to pin this conversation for our own podcast.
Yeah, exactly.
And I also think any time directors are replaced with a new director
and that director comes in and has to sort of start from whatever point he's starting,
I mean, it's kind of a recipe for a disaster.
It's two different movies.
There's the Chris and Phil movie, and then there's the Ron Howard movie. I would have really liked. There's the Chris and Phil movie, and then there's the
Ron Howard movie. I would have really liked to
have seen the Chris and Phil movie because
they're funny dudes.
But I guess my assumption
was always that they must have gone
off too far in their
own direction, and
Kathleen Kennedy, the woman who you can't recognize
from her identical twin, probably
thought, like, hey, that's not the tone of this.
What are you guys doing?
I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
I made that up.
I made that up in my head.
Joelle, but doesn't that sound like it's realistic?
I'm very curious to know the real story of what all went down.
I've heard a lot, a lot of rumors.
But there's nothing confirmed.
Everyone's being very tight-lipped as of now.
I think it's a story we'll hear more about
in five or ten years. Well, I think, yeah,
one day it'll come out. One day Chris and Phil.
Everybody's so excited for the Snyder
DC cut and everything like that. Is it
really going to be better than the Justice League movie, though?
I don't know, but all
I can tell you is this. I'm just
asking out there. Joelle
nodded her head like, I don't know. Dan
nodded his head like, I don't dan nodded his head like i don't know
yeah but everybody bought whatever the fuck hbo max is that what it is yeah yeah you have to buy
hbo max or is it if you have you have hbo do you just get hbo max no you actually answer this
question no okay if you have a subscription you do not need to buy it you can use your you can
log in like through your yeah like if i have it through if i have it through my cable or whatever
i i have it okay but if you don't have it through my cable or whatever, I have it.
But if you don't have it and you're like, I'd rather just pay
like $10 and have the HBO streaming
experience, you can do that as well.
It's totally worth it. There's so much content.
And when does the Snyder Cut drop?
Does anyone know that?
That is a Google question. Let me find out.
How are you, Adeyashun?
I'm well.
You know, I'm well.
Doing it the best I can
California just reached number one in the US
Yeah, congrats everybody
We did it, y'all
Thunderous applause, Dan
No, how about instead of thunderous applause, Dan
You just do thunderous booing
Yeah, cheers, Dan, cheers
You suck!
We did it, y'all
Good work, Dan Good work, LA, good work, California Cheers. You suck! We did it, y'all.
Good work, Dan. We did it.
Good work, LA.
Good work, California.
We are the worst.
Holy cow, dude.
We're going to be making movies in Stade.
Nobody's going to make anything here.
Well, you know, it's okay, though.
It's okay.
We had it coming.
We were so freaking good.
Hey, this is Canada's chance.
You know how, like, if we're in pole position for production,
and Canada's like, oh, shit, and now you're holding the cars,
and they take it on the turn, and then they make a move on turns?
Yeah, this is Canada's chance to come in and just steal all the U.S. production.
Good luck, Canada.
They can do it right now.
You can do it right now, Canada.
Right now, Canada.
You need to make the incentives even bigger. And bam, it's over.
Just don't tax us.
Just don't tax us.
Everyone will come.
Do you know that the film industry started in my hometown?
Well, my home neighborhood.
What town is this?
Well, Edison's Black Mariah, where he was making the very first films, was in West Orange, New Jersey.
That's where his laboratory and where he did all his work was.
You can actually go there.
It's a museum.
And the Black Mariah was his first soundstage.
I don't know if you guys know this trivia.
And the Black Mariah was a rectangle or square that sat on a giant circular track.
And so it could spin.
It had a sunroof. And it would spin to find the light because Edison needed so
much light to make these films that the roof would open and the whole thing
would rotate 360 degrees to find the sun.
And so the movie industry begins and it's like,
holy shit,
this is a thing.
And then someone goes,
why are we doing this in New Jersey?
Why don't we do this where the sun is always out and it's always 75 degrees and it's always sunny and we don't have to – we can do whatever the hell we want.
And that's how the song –
All the leaders, all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray and the sky is gray.
California, California
Dream on a winter's day
Well, that was a beautiful rendition.
That was written a few years later
in the 60s.
Oh, okay.
But that's about living in Laurel Canyon,
I think, right?
There's a great documentary
on the Laurel Canyon music scene. I highly recommend you. What's it called? It's called Laurel Canyon, I think, right? There's a great documentary on the Laurel Canyon music scene.
I highly recommend you.
What's it called?
It's called Laurel Canyon, I believe.
And it's on Epix.
And there's a two-parter.
And it's about the music scene in the 60s and the 70s in Laurel Canyon.
And it's just fucking great if you love music and music documentaries.
I do love music.
And I do love...
How are you, man?
I'm good.
Heather Locklear's here today.
That's a thing.
Is she here, Dan, Joelle?
Is she in the waiting room?
We should probably get into the show.
Nobody leaves Heather in the corner.
You don't leave Heather in the corner. I'm nervous. Can I be honest with you?
I'm nervous too.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I knew that we had a guest
and I knew that it was someone of importance.
Yes.
I did not, I'm afraid I did not know the magnitude of the guest this week.
How did you not know that it was Heather Locklear?
She's the only star in the episode that we would ask.
I mean, who did you think it might be besides Heather Locklear?
I thought it was Shay, because this is such an important episode.
Oh, no.
Shay specifically requested his story, which I believe is the episode Johnny C voiceovers.
Okay.
So I think that's one of Shay's favorites.
So we said, Shay, you pick.
Because this is such an important story in the whole Scrubs thing.
This episode is so important.
I never imagined in my whole life that I would ever be in a position to keep Heather Locklear waiting.
Let's not do it anymore.
Let's end it.
Let's stop it.
Five, six, seven, eight. About a bunch of dogs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. I said he's got stories that we all should know.
So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
Heather, can you hear us?
There she is.
Hey!
Can you hear us?
Hi!
There she is. Hey!
I got so excited my dogs are all barking now.
Hey, shut up.
I'm talking to Heather Locklear.
How are you guys?
Hi, Heather.
We are so excited you're doing this.
We're very geeked out.
I can't believe it.
I'm geeking out all over again.
Donald, you look like you're in a closet with clothes.
What's going on?
Where are you?
I am legitimately in a closet with clothes.
You nailed it.
This is my closet.
I share it with my wife.
I was hoping because there's some nice pink.
Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't be in that dress.
She put something else up because it was just my golf shirts and stuff.
She was like, that's ugly to look at.
Let me put a –
Oh, you didn't tell me that those dresses were up as background design by Casey.
I thought that they were outfits she might be wearing soon.
Now you're telling me that –
Or Donald might be wearing them.
Or Donald might be wearing them.
But now you're saying that Casey didn't like the look of the closet and decorated it a little bit.
Yeah, she put up something so that the backdrop was a little different.
I've since moved the camera a little bit.
That's sweet.
That is so cool.
Zach, you're all happening there.
That looks cute.
Yes, Heather.
Well, Donald has two young children, and so he kind of has to hide out in his walk-in closet to do this podcast.
Oh, no, I'm here.
I put my dog out with my boyfriend because he would bark and be all over.
And my daughter just left Donald, I have to say.
She just wanted to say that she has a crush on you.
Oh.
Yeah, I don't think she ever saw Scrubs,
but I don't think she was alive.
But I think she saw Uptown Girls.
Hey, we're in that together.
Right, we were.
We've been talking about this.
Now, we have so much to ask you,
but wait, since you brought it up,
let's start with Uptown Girls.
Donald's told us a lot of fun memories
of making that movie. Heather, did you have a good time making that movie? No, since you brought it up, let's start with Uptown Girls. Donald's told us a lot of fun memories of making that movie.
Heather, did you have a good time making that movie?
No, he had good friends with the co-stars.
He really didn't talk to me.
I think we had one night out.
No, he was really sweet, but he was very much in a group, and I was the old lady of everything.
So I was like, okay.
That's not it at all.
Donald, were you too cool for school for Heather Lutz?
No, I was so nervous.
I was so nervous. Yes, I was. No, he was. He was. He was. Trust No, I was so nervous. I was so nervous.
Yes, I was. Trust me, I was. He was. Trust me, I was.
Oh, it's so sweet.
I think we had
just one night out, right?
It was one long night
in a line or something.
Yeah, that was it.
But I'd see you in makeup and stuff.
That was it.
I enjoyed making that movie.
I enjoyed being in New York City in the summertime, too.
That was so cool.
I know.
I was like, I'll go to New York.
That's great.
It's so rare when someone actually lets you shoot in Manhattan these days or even those days.
So when someone's like, it's a movie, and you're like, okay, I like the script.
They're like, and it's shooting in Manhattan.
You're like, I'm in.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Right.
That's how it always is.
We were just saying that, how Vancouver has an opportunity right now, right this moment? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Right. That's how it always, we were just saying that how Vancouver has an opportunity right now,
right this moment.
Oh yeah.
They won't let any of us in.
Right.
But they can snatch up all the work.
I know we just said that before you,
before you came on Heather,
we were saying that Canada is in a position since the,
since the COVID is just devouring Los Angeles to,
to steal production once and for all.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Just not with us.
Yeah, we're not allowed in.
But maybe one day they'll let us in.
Maybe one day they'll let us in.
We've never really wanted to go to Canada so much.
I know.
And now it's exactly like life when someone's like,
now we're all like, please let us in.
Please let us be in a relationship with you.
Right, exactly.
There you go.
Heather, I was just looking at your IMDb, and an actor could only dream to have had the length of a career you've had.
I mean, you have – I can't – Donald and I can only hope that we have a fraction of the success you've had over your long career.
Oh, you already do.
Don't be silly.
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, that's right. I'm older than you. Well, no, no, no, no. Oh, that's right.
I'm older than you.
Well, I'm older than you.
You're a smidgen older than us.
You still have time to catch up.
You're a smidgen older than us,
but you started very young.
Now, is it true that,
I was just looking,
was Chips your very first job?
That's what IMDB says.
It was my first job, my first line.
Make them stop.
Please make them stop.
That's what I said.
Oh, wow.
I remember.
Hey, that was good.
I would have cast you. It was actually a group of motorcycle riders throwing a girl up in a blanket. I don't know if it was me or someone else, but I remember for
the audition, I was always nervous. And for the audition, I heard the girl before me say,
make them stop, please make them stop. And I'm like, oh, that's the way I'm supposed to do it. So I copied her.
You stole her line reading.
I'm going to try that.
Yes, I did.
I was, yeah, it was very good.
So wait, why was, so these motorcycle men,
I just want to catch the scene.
They have a teenage girl in a blanket and they're throwing her up.
I think there's two of us.
And I think, yeah, they might be throwing
the other girl up in a blanket
and she's so terrified of these guys. And I think, yeah, they might be throwing the other girl up in a blanket.
And she's so terrified of these guys.
And I'm screaming, make them stop. I don't know who I'm screaming to.
Probably her.
Probably to Ponch.
Yeah, probably to Ponch or John.
Exactly.
Either John or Ponch.
I hope it was John or Ponch that came to your rescue.
Yeah.
It's like if you're on Chips and your storyline didn't involve Ponch or John.
What's the point?
Yeah, what am I here?
I wonder if that happened with us.
Like people, like, you know, Heather,
you got to do two episodes
and you got to interact with almost everyone.
Most everyone.
Yeah.
It'd be funny if you came to do a show that was popular
and like you never,
your storyline didn't include any of the lead characters.
Can you imagine?
You're like, oh, that's, well,
oh, actually there was something I did.
I did the first Wives Club.
And there was a couple scenes, and there was a couple scenes that they cut out of me.
And then the only scene that I had had no lines, and one of the actors were at a funeral,
and he's supposed to take his hand and touch my breast, and they show that.
And he actually touched more than the, it was kind of gross.
And so I said, can you just take my name off the credits since now I don't have any lines or, you know, saw everyone from afar.
So it was creditless.
So wait, you're in the first Wives Club and the only thing that happens is a man grabs your breast?
He doesn't grab it.
He actually outlines my areola with his finger. Oh, my God. I didn't say that in the script. I was like, I'm so glad they're
following his hand down because my face, my mouth is falling open and I can't believe it.
And don't do it again. Just one take and let's go. Oh my God. Yeah. You know, I always, you know,
I've never asked someone this, but it's just, it must be, it's a, it's a blessing because you're such a stunning woman and always have been a sex, I think it's safe to say you were a sex symbol because you are, you are and were.
A worse, okay.
No, you were and are.
And is it ever, because Donald and I never faced this problem.
Never.
We're not sex symbols.
Listen, man.
Never.
symbols but i mean never did you ever feel like did you feel like did you did you sometimes feel like guys like i don't i want to do the part but i don't want to do that that random sex scene with
that guy like does that have to be in there does that come up well it wasn't really we were at we
were in a funeral we were on the benches at the church oh yeah so it was and so there was more
to the part and i had filmed the bigger bigger scenes and that's they just thought they i don't
know maybe i was bad in it and they they went, let's just put that.
I doubt it.
You're one of the,
you're one of the very few people.
You are gold.
You're one of the very few people that.
Oh dear.
We were talking about you
because you're one of the very few people
that was on two hit shows at the same time.
Right, right.
That was very cool.
Tell us about that.
You were doing, you were doing.
Dynasty.
Dynasty and.
And TJ Hooker.
Oh my God. First first i did how opposite can
you be um and dynasty i think they let me go because they were letting someone else go and
i'm like okay so then i got this other job tj hooker and then they brought me back so um you
know i would we work a week here and a couple days on dynasty and it was no big deal i wasn't the main
first character so it's only had a few lines in each thing.
So it wasn't tough at all.
But it was a big deal because that doesn't ever happen to anybody.
Was it two different networks?
Was it two different networks?
No, it was ABC and they were both spelling.
Oh, there you go.
Imagine that.
Gosh, Aaron Spelling sure did love Heather Locklear.
He sure did.
And then he passed away and then I I'm, like, jobless.
Oh, don't say that.
Don't say that.
Listen, Bill Lawrence loves him some Heather Locklear, too.
Well, I did Spin City, and I'm not sure if he was writing on it then or not.
I'm not sure what the thing was.
Maybe he left, but I think he might have created it.
Is that true or not?
Yes, he created the show, and I'm sure if he wasn't writing that he obviously thought you were very funny. Yeah. But he also,
you know, Bill is a very one thing about our friend is he's he's very loyal. And when he likes
people, he likes to work with them over and over again. So even if he wasn't writing the show at
the time, the fact that you were on the show means he was like, oh, you know, he had obviously seen your work and thought, oh, she's so funny. She's so beautiful.
Well, I befriended his wife. And so now I get Christmas cards.
That's the way in. That's the way in.
Yeah, that is. It's always through the wife.
What was TJ Hooker like? Because we always hear all these Shatner stories,
mostly from Star Trek. But you knew like Shatner, I mean, this was a long time ago.
Well, he was very intimidating to me.
And he's like, when you stop speaking, saying you can't think for any lines.
Kind of like on your show, on Scrubs, you can't think.
You can't go, hmm.
I mean, you do.
You guys do because then you have that bubble where you're doing something else.
But he would say, if you stop speaking and take a breath,
I'm going to start, I'm going to jump in.
So I'm like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it was always like license plate numbers I'd have to remember.
Oh, license plate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and this and blah, blah.
And they'd have 50 different characters in one show.
And so I was just delivering the boring information.
And it made me so nervous.
And he'd look at me and stare and wait.
And I'd go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he'd jump in, and that and wait and i'd go and he'd jump in and that was about it he is very intimidating he's captain kirk i can understand why he's intimidated well i didn't
ever see those shows so he was just william shatner even at the last even at the time heather
were you curious to not to go back and see like oh let me see what this was this guy's the lore of of Shatner yes I I did I could see the
allure he's very charming um but he's very and he's very funny and very dry I um I ended up doing
a Boston Legal with him and that was fun and I was a little older more it seemed closer to his age
than when I was 18 um and and brand new um but he and then I remember going, I think, I don't, maybe it was Nobu and it was he and
his wife and we went to some place where you throw the bras off and you put them on the
ceiling, something like that.
Coyote Ugly?
I don't know.
Something similar.
Something similar.
I don't think it was that, but it was another place.
And I was on the bar and I go, should I take it off?
And he's probably going, why are you asking me?
And he said, sure.
And I took it off, and it's left there somewhere.
He's like, why?
Why are you asking me?
Right.
Sure, why not?
Listen to this.
What's his name on Seinfeld?
The little guy
who... Jason Alexander.
Yes. So he is a huge
fan of William Shatner's. And if you watch
he goes, tell me what Shatner's like.
Tell me what he's like. And I'm like, well,
sometimes he's an asshole.
And sometimes he's not. But
he's like, oh my God. And I didn't want to
say anything. I mean, there's nothing wrong with
William Bill.
So if you go back and watch, you'll see his cadence is similar to William Shatner's.
Oh, really?
He was inspired by him.
Totally.
Now you have to look at it differently.
Travers coming over.
Travers coming over, Jerry.
Exactly.
Point the phasers at the diamond.
Wow, this is going to blow people's minds.
So Jason Alexander was such a big fan of William Shatner that if you listen to his cadence,
some of it is in the spirit of that unique Shatner cadence.
Exactly.
With all those scumbags.
I want to meet the person who's a fan,
like is such a fan of like Christopher Walken
and tries to steal his cadence.
That's the hardest cadence I've ever heard in my life. That is the toughest
I feel at home.
Speaking, right.
Speaking of, wait,
by the way, you do a great
Jimmy Crack Corn of
Neil Diamond. Yes! I had that
stuck in my head.
Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't care.
That is the only
impersonation that i can do that's actually close to it it's really good it's it's only because when
i was a kid i used to watch you know transformers and and gi joe after school on you know wpix
and they would always in between the shows they would play a commercial for Neil Diamond's greatest hits.
Oh my gosh.
And I could only get the first few lines.
I've never owned a Neil Diamond record.
I've never been to a Neil Diamond concert.
I've never seen a Neil Diamond movie.
All I know is that he sang a bunch of songs,
and they went like, turn on your hot light.
Very good.
Let it shine wherever you go.
Oh, my gosh.
You are amazing.
Around the world.
Oh, my gosh.
They come into America.
It's his only impression he does well.
Oh, my gosh.
Ain't no surprise.
Now, it's the only, all the years I've known him, Heather,
it's the only impression he does well.
Yeah, like they tried to get me to do Aaron Neville.
I can't do Aaron Neville.
I don't even rate Aaron Neville.
I don't know.
That's great.
That's all we got. Now'm guessing jimmy crack corn is probably a public domain song i'm guessing because they didn't uh maybe that's why we chose it because
oh we didn't have to pay for it by the way all the songs in this episode um heather sometimes
now that these shows are all streaming some of the songs had to be replaced because the contracts they signed for the original show
didn't extend to streaming.
So this episode I thought really suffered
because there was some good music in this episode
that is all gone.
I don't know if you, you guys watched on-
I didn't notice.
Yeah, I did watch it on Hulu, but I didn't-
Well, the end is supposed to be a Nelly song, right?
And that was not the song.
Yeah, if you want to go and take a ride with me.
Might be the money.
Yeah.
Wow.
But anyway, so I just wanted to say that the show ends and it's supposed to be like we're on a
rooftop in downtown LA
and it's like, and then I
was really noticing that that
song,
whenever they replaced it.
What was the song?
Well, someone went in, I think it was Randall.
Randall Winston.
He admitted to it.
Oh, yes.
Oh, you know Randall Winston.
He did Spin City.
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, he told Donald and I that he was the one who had to oversee someone
going, hey, we got to fill in these slots.
And so, I don't know, they're not nearly as good.
But I guess if you have the DVDs,
you're the only person with all the real original music.
But we usually watch them.
I think I do.
Should we get into the recap?
Let's get into the recap because we've got
the Heather Locklear here.
Oh, yeah.
Jenea Bakken wrote this episode.
She's a very good writer.
I mean, do you want me to do the 30-minute recap?
Oh, sorry.
The 30-second recap?
Not the 30-minute.
30 minutes, 30 minutes.
Sorry, I forgot.
Heather, we have a new thing there.
Donald.
It's not new anymore, but we keep forgetting it.
Zach keeps forgetting about it.
I love it.
I don't know why I forget about it.
I love it.
I don't know either.
Listen, it's anxiety for me.
I freaking sit down and I really think about it.
And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not.
That's how it goes. Anyway, Heather,
he is going to sum up the whole episode
in 30 seconds and then together
we'll go through and really parse it all
out. But now I get my stopwatch out.
Hold on, Donald. Okay, listen, this might be a little bit
longer than 30 seconds, but I don't care. Well, I really
like it when you at least try to get 30
seconds done. But then I might miss out on things
and stutter over my words because I'm so nervous.
This is very nerve wracking.
But here we go.
Get ready.
On your marks.
Get set.
Go.
This episode's about a bunch of things, but mostly it's about double standards.
Turk and JD are fine if they rob the hospital, but not each other.
Cox hates the fact that his girlfriend has baggage, but winds up having his own.
Elliot loves the perks of having daddy take care of everything but longs
to make her own career decisions.
This is an important episode because
at the end, all of them are moving
forward in their personal lives.
Turk and Carla are at the next level
of their relationship. Jordan and Cox
are going to start a family.
Elliot is stepping away from her comfort zone
and the hospital's becoming more of a backdrop.
Meaning, this is a sneak peek of what's to come.
Oh, shit.
That was amazing.
It was amazing.
It was 39 seconds, so in some ways you failed,
but let me tell you how you didn't fail.
Listen, I don't give a shit if I fail.
I don't care if I fail anymore.
I don't care because it could be,
I'll do a minute one next time.
I want to give you a genuine compliment.
I'll do a minute one next time. Good for you, time. I want to give you a genuine compliment. I'll do a minute one next time.
Good for you, Donald.
I want to give you a genuine compliment, Donald.
That was, no bullshit.
That was a very good summary.
And you actually highlighted things that I didn't even see.
I saw what you're saying in terms of the episode being about new chapters in a sense.
But I didn't think of it in the macro.
Being about new chapters in a sense,
but I didn't think of it in the macro like,
oh, this is a shift in the show in that we tease the marriage,
we tease Johnny C and Krista getting back together.
We tease Elliot going off on her own.
Right, Elliot separating from her parents
and being financially independent.
And then JD realizing he's about to be in limbo
at the end of the episode also.
Right, J.D. nervous about losing his best friend
because Carla says the word we about Turk and her,
and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's happening here?
Am I going to lose my best friend?
So my point is that was very good
because your summary was not just,
hey, here are the facts.
It had some insight into it.
I will gladly give up those nine seconds of failure to get the insight.
Thundrous applause, Dan.
Thundrous applause.
Dan, I'm going to approve that thunderous applause.
I wonder if we should make it so when we add these thunderous applause sound effects,
if we both need to approve, it's like, you's like in the nuclear code where they both have to
turn their key. Oh yeah.
That was my favorite part of
Superman 3 with
Richard Pryor in it where he's
pretending he's drunk and he has to put the
keys in at the same time and he
makes a little
not a concoction but like a little
levy using another person
if you ever get the opportunity.
What about the beginning of war games?
What about the beginning of war games when they go, turn your key, sir.
Turn your key.
And he puts his gun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that was a great scene.
Love it.
Sorry, Heather.
We sometimes have trouble staying on top.
That's okay.
I love it.
It gives me things to look for.
This podcast should be called a digression.
That's okay.
It's good. I see some people on the
web were commenting like, I really enjoy it,
but they don't always talk about the episode. I'm like, well,
guys, that's the show. This is the show.
That's the show. The show is there,
right? The show
is this. Right. We also have Joelle
and Danil, okay? And they
talk about things out of nowhere.
Yeah. All right. So
the first thing I laughed at out loud was when I walk in,
Carla is in the apartment, and I pick up our taxidermy dog to hide my tidy whities.
And Donald walks in and goes, don't use rowdy to cover up your giblets.
So good.
The dialogue is excellent
What a weird word for
What a weird word for
What a great word
For growing giblets? I like it
I love it
It sounds like
What is it? Gizzards to me
What are giblets?
It's the extra stuff you don't
My biscuits are burning
Giblets are the stuff you don't use when you cook a turkey, right?
A chicken?
Or a turkey?
Chicken or a turkey?
Whatever.
I don't know.
I thought...
You take it out of that bag and...
I don't know.
Go ahead, Joelle.
Go ahead, Joelle.
What is the culinary term for edible offal of a fowl that typically includes the heart,
the actual gizzard's liver, and other organs?
There you go.
I know what those other ones are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No one cooks chicken penis.
You never know.
It might be a delicacy somewhere.
I was about to say, you never know.
You never know.
Heather, do you like eating weird stuff,
or are you conservative?
No, I eat what's weird, giblets. Well, I'm not saying you conservative? No, I eat like what's weird.
Giblets?
I'm not saying you eat giblets.
When you're out and about
and someone says, oh, try this weird food.
Do you do that? Because I normally don't.
Have you ever had snails?
No, I've never had escargot.
I have. That's good.
I usually ask for someone else to taste it
first and look at their face.
Donald, are you an adventurous?
I don't think you try to be too crazy.
No, no, no. I don't fuck around with food.
You like what you like.
I don't fuck around with food, man.
But you like sushi.
I do like sushi, and I like, listen, texture is a big deal for me.
And if I know what it is, and then the texture is what I imagine it would be like, then I have a problem with it.
Like, somebody was like, do you like beef tongue?
And I was like, absolutely not.
No.
And it's all because when I was younger, I tried it, and my grandmother made it, and I tried it, and it tasted exact—
Well, it didn't taste like, but it felt in my mouth exactly what I thought a tongue would feel like
if it was cooked up.
You can always just check your own tongue, and it's probably like that.
Yeah, just chew on that.
That's exactly what it was.
It was like chewing on your own tongue, and I was like,
I'll never, ever, ever, ever have that tongue again.
You ever see it in the deli counter?
There'll be just a giant beef tongue.
It's really gross.
Tongue.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't like that.
With all those buns, those taste buds.
And people eat brains, too.
They eat cow brains, right? Yeah, no, I don't. You know With all those buns, those taste buds. And people eat brains too. They eat cow brains, right?
Yeah, no, I don't.
You know, it's a delicacy in some places.
It's like watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Chilled monkey brain.
Yeah, as we've talked about, that movie gave me nightmares.
Yeah.
This was a big episode.
Yes.
For me in particular, when I look back at it now, it's even bigger.
Ken Whittingham, the first black director Scrubs has ever had, directed this episode.
Yeah.
I think this is his first time directing it too.
And Ken's a very good director.
And he became one of our regulars because we love Ken Whittingham.
He's gone on to direct so many shows.
Yeah.
He's a big success.
He's directed pretty much everything.
He's directed pretty much everything. He's directed pretty much everything.
But I remember thinking
about, oh, they hired a brother. Okay.
So that
was good. I mean, that made you feel
like, okay,
obviously about time, guys. It's like
middle of season two. How about some people
of different minorities
that are directing the show, right?
Had we had a woman?
We'd had a couple of women direct already at this point.
Right. Maybe Gail Mancuso, I think.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. But I mean, now
this is 20 years later, this is still a big conversation
in Hollywood. Isn't that crazy?
It's what it is, man.
You know, we've still got to
make these moves, but
it's what it is, and it's time to change that. We've got to make these moves but it's it's it's what it is and it's time for it's
time to change that you know we got a restart coming up soon so let's let's uh let's do the
right thing y'all now now in the in this i think in a good way there's a mandate making sure people
do it say you know the networks and the studios have really said when i when we made our show
alex inc they said no we want you know it isn isn't like, oh, you guys can do whatever you want.
It's like, no, we would like a certain amount of minorities to be represented.
We'd like a certain amount of women to be represented.
And I think that's really great and only getting better.
I agree with you 100%.
Let's go to break, guys.
We're going to go to break and be right back with Heather Locklear.

And we're back!
I'm weeping at 2.54 because Dr. Cox, I think, winked at me.
And that's how happy I am to get his approval.
That's right.
Were those real tears or did somebody have to muster that up?
No, no.
I mean, when I'm doing a dramatic thing, I can get myself there.
But in a comedic part, no way am I just going to start bawling.
All right.
I want to ask you to do it.
Heather, can you do that? Can you cry on cue?
No. Right. It's very hard.
I want you to tell
the Garden State story, dude.
Tell the story of Natalie Portman and tell the story
of you, the two different versions of crying
in that movie. Well, Natalie is
very good at that. Natalie,
like some actresses I know,
Sarah Chalk's another person i know who
can do this can kind of go off in the corner for a minute and get herself into a head place oh yeah
and then and then do it and cry for me and then garden state she had to do that a lot because
she had um some some crying um moments for me i it actually was a blessing in disguise because
when uh there was a scene in in in the in a bathtub, empty bathtub where we're sitting and I was meant to cry.
And we shot the wide master shot first.
And like I said, just being in that moment and with such a good actress and it was so real, it genuinely happened.
And I cried and it was a powerful moment, except that it was the big wide master.
Right.
And the camera wasn't going to see most of that.
It was just sort of establishing the room.
The trick, for those of you who aren't in the entertainment industry doing what we do, is now you're going to have to do that over and over and over again.
You're going to have to do it when the medium shot.
You're going to have to do it when it's a close-up.
You're going to have to do it when it's over Natalie's shoulder.
You're going to have to do it when it's a close-up.
You're going to have to do it when it's over Natalie's shoulder.
For me, that was close to impossible to just keep being able to emulate what had happened naturally in the wide shot.
But that's the task of an actor.
But for me, it was – but I was also directing.
So then I had to go, okay, this isn't going to match.
And you know what?
Maybe it's too much.
So I decided just on the spot, go, if it's not happening naturally, I don't want it to be this false. So then it became, I only shed one single tear.
And then we had a joke about her collecting it in a, in a, in a little plastic cup.
But, but so that, that was kind of how I felt because when I was directing, I felt like,
you know, if it's forced and it's false and it's weird that I'd rather not have it even be in the in the show is that what you meant to me that's the exact
story I was talking about I found that such I found that so fascinating it was like the scene
was supposed to be something else and you you know you blew your wad in the first your in the first
uh in the master yeah and now it's and now it's time to do it again and
it's like all right well we're not gonna get that and you turned it you turned the negative into a
positive and it's actually one of the more powerful scenes in the movie yeah thank you thank you that's
pretty great thank you i just go ahead heather go no no guys go. I was going to say that it's a good lesson for filmmakers out
there. It doesn't have to be related to tears, but about adapting. So something happens and you go,
and I've had this happen when you're directing something, whether it's a music video or a giant
feature film. Every day, something is going to happen where you're going to go, okay, that's
not according to plan. Is this a blessing in disguise? So for me, in this example Donald's talking about,
it was like being able to cry nonstop for hours was just not going to happen. It just wasn't,
my head wasn't in that space. I was also directing the movie and had so much anxiety going on.
So then it was like shifting. Well, what if it's not that? Maybe bawling like that is way too much
for this character. What if it's actually a joke that all I can produce is one tear and we laugh about it? So sometimes just going with it and coming up with a new plan on the spot is one
of the most crucial things of being a filmmaker, but also a lot of blessings in disguise can come
out of it. Usually when I'm in that place, the director says, don't blow it on this master.
It's going to be for a second and then we'll come in and do that.
But I do find what you said.
I mean, I, I, I don't think heavy tears, unless it's like for whatever reason is called for.
I think the real moment is when you're in the moment and if it comes, it comes, but
usually your face and your heart starts to happen and all kinds of stuff.
And it's becomes more real rather than showing something
and trying to get to show something.
It's whatever else happens.
I agree.
And it never feels as good.
It's a pet peeve of mine when you watch so many movies and TV shows
where someone is crying, but there aren't tears coming down their face.
Next time you watch a crying scene,
notice if the person has actual tears in their eyes
because a lot of times they're
scrunching up their face and making the noises, which is just a huge pet peeve of mine. If the
moment, if it's a necessity and the project needs it, there's menthol things people blow in their
eyes. There's all sorts of tricks. Like if it's mandatory, go do it, go fake it. But don't do the
there's no water in your eyes, scrunch up face thing.
I hate that.
Right.
I feel like Jane Fonda did that on Golden Pond or something.
She talked about that.
She had no more tears left.
I don't remember something like that.
But yeah, I think whatever the real moment is,
is if there's not a tear, yeah, just don't fake it.
Just go.
People have reactions about stuff and it's no tears come out.
Of course.
And also sometimes even as a writer, I find myself writing something where I'll go, you know, in the script I'll write.
She hears the news and instantly breaks down crying.
And then you think in reality, a lot of times people that doesn't happen at all.
You might cry later.
But in the moment of hearing it, you're just fucking dumbfounded.
You're sitting there like, like,
you know what I mean?
And,
and I,
you have to catch yourself as a,
I have to catch myself as a writer going,
be very sparing with,
with,
with,
with tears.
The direction and stuff.
Yeah,
of course,
because that might happen naturally,
but also it can get,
especially it's tricky when you're writing.
I'm,
one of the things I'm,
I'm working on now is this,
is this drama and I have to find,
you have to find those moments. So it doesn't feel like, oh my God, there's all these tears. And how do you do that
when the stuff you're talking about is very heavy? Well, what happens in real life? Donald and I
just had a friend die. Of course I cried. I know, I'm so sorry.
Thank you. But nine times out of 10, I was more sitting there like this, dumbfounded with my head
in my hands and my jaw dropped.
So you've got to remind yourselves about what's real, what really happens.
I remember doing a scene for Dynasty.
I don't think I've ever been angry in my life up to that time.
And I was angry, but I was so angry I started crying.
And I think they were like, what the F is she
doing? But that was a real emotion for where probably just for me, you know, cause being
angry and that brought it about, but they ended up, did they use it? Oh, good. See, I love that
stuff. I love happy accidents, you know, you know, in the, in the comedy world, we are always,
you know, it goes without saying you're trying to keep those moments in. You know, we riff something.
Oh, for sure.
But in the drama space, too, you want to be like, oh, my God, Heather got so fucking mad she started crying.
Eureka.
That was natural.
That was real.
Like, keep it.
Like, that's the stuff.
That's the precious things we all stumble into, you know?
Yes.
Yeah, it's amazing.
When we started, it was comedically.
I can never do it comed Yes. Yeah. It's amazing. When we started, someone was comedically, I can never do it comedically.
right.
That Meg Ryan scene in freaking when Harry met Sally,
when he comes over and she's crying because,
uh,
she's going to be 30 soon. And he's like,
when she was like Sunday and she's crying,
but it's there.
That's one of the best scenes ever in the history of,
that scene right there.
That was your favorite comedic,
that's your favorite comedic crying moment?
Yeah, easily one of,
that is my favorite comedic crying moment.
Sarah Chalk was good at doing it for real on this show
because she had times,
I think even we've talked about it where she had to be like
you know
crying pretty much on cue
not even from a dramatic moment
from like something funny
it's pretty hard I think
analgesic
now I didn't know what an analgesic
was it's aspirin
but we've always laughed
at this joke because your patient
thinks it's analgesic and puts the pills in his butt in his butt yeah
that's so good it's a great joke yeah it's great it's pronounced analgesic the pills go in your
mouth sir yeah now i didn't i didn't know what that was did you donald you didn't know either
right i don't know how many people got that joke at the time.
Well, no, the joke isn't.
The joke is actually when you tell them that it's not in your anus.
It doesn't go in your butt, yeah.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Who gives a shit what analgesic really is?
Right, exactly.
Okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Who cares what it really is?
The joke is, old man, don't put these pills in your ass anymore.
Right, exactly.
That guy, I think, Donald, if I'm not mistaken,
he was like a regular go-to old man we often use.
Was he in a bunch of episodes?
I've seen him a few times be like the go-to ancient old man.
You want to ask Wiki?
Or is this something that wouldn't show up in a Wiki?
No, Wiki's not going to know that.
And we haven't given him his Funko Pops.
Dan, are those his Funko Pops behind you?
They're right.
Look, I didn't know if you –
Dan has his Funko Pops right behind him.
Dan, I didn't know if you purchased those for yourself or if they were for Scrubs Wiki guy.
I acquired them so that we could get them signed as fast as possible.
Okay.
Heather, you might want some of these.
They're Scrubs Funko Pops.
We have a Scrubs Wikipedia-type page
where you can look up facts on the show.
And so we got the guy who helped curate this whole thing
with a bunch of other people,
and he comes on the show every now and then
and answers questions for us.
Right.
But he's not really into it.
Like, he's kind of into it, but he's not really into it. He's kind of into it,
but he's not really into it. So we're bribing him. Like a technical advisor
kind of guy. Somewhat of a...
Yes. That's
a great way to put it. That's a good way of saying
it. He's technically advising.
He's like the keeper of the
Scrubs Bible. Right.
Oh, that's great. I guess so.
But we've got to bribe him with Funko Pops,
otherwise he doesn't do his job well.
That's what I'm saying.
What is a Funko Pop?
Oh, show for Heather.
They kind of look like bobbleheads.
They're a very popular thing.
They're grown-up action figures is what they are.
They're action figures for grown-ups.
It's kind of like a bobblehead, but these ones don't bobble,
I don't think.
Right, Dan? These aren't bobble ones, but these ones don't bobble, I don't think. Right, Dan?
Oh, okay.
These aren't bobble ones, right?
No, they're just static vinyl toys.
There are Funko Pops that bobble.
That heads bobble.
We didn't get those.
Okay, that's very cool.
So if your daughter is truly a fan of Donald Faison, I know it's from Uptown Girls, but you could get her a Donald Faison Funko Pop.
You know, her boyfriend would be destroyed.
Okay. Get it for him!
Break them up! Break them up!
Break them up!
Break them up! That would be the
coolest thing ever. I could walk around
and say that I broke them up!
The craziest thing is
if my daughter wore that dress behind you.
Oh my God. She might like it.
Well, then my wife would probably break up with me.
Break them up.
I like that.
So there's this pressure, as we understand it,
for women, young doctors to go in to become OBGYNs
because they make a lot of money, I guess.
So we have this thing where the gyno girls are coming after.
That was funny.
And then JD goes into this fantasy, and they're having a pillow fight, and they start making out.
And then he gets interrupted, so he never gets to see any of the fun sex.
Right.
And then he tries to go back into the fantasy, and she says, I'm very glad that we experimented with each other but i'll never do it
again yeah that will never happen again yeah so he's missed the whole dreamy fantasy yeah i love
the fact that uh that when uh heather and cox are walking through the hallway and she's saying hi to
all the other doctors and everything like that yeah he thinks she's just flirting and she's like no no no i slept
with them right he's great he's like i know heather heather unabashedly the character's like
he was like thinks oh you're bribing them because you're selling pharmaceuticals she's like no no i
just i slept with them exactly i like that about her though she was like no you get to fuck around
why can't i fuck around yeah i, and that's my motto too,
by the way. I think that's,
I think that's everybody.
I think we're starting to gear into that being everybody's motto now.
Like there shouldn't be any stand.
Like,
that's what I was saying.
The show is such about,
it's this episode in particular is about double standards.
You know what I mean?
And how to,
and how we,
and how we tackle double standards.
This dude's so bent out of shape,
uh,
that you,
uh,
slept with guys at the hospital,
but he's got a pregnant lady in his back pocket. You know what I mean? It's like,
come on now. You can't be Judge Mitchell. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Exactly. That's right. Exactly. Now, Heather, did you have fun working with our pal,
the legendary Johnny C. McGinley? Because it looks like you guys had great chemistry.
with our pal, the legendary Johnny C. McGinley,
because it looks like you guys had great chemistry.
He was so much fun.
And everybody talks so fast on that show.
I was like, oh, my God, here I am, William Shatner again.
But, no, I had a great time with him.
And, yeah, he was very, very fun.
I really adored him.
You guys had such good chemistry together.
You did. Yeah, I think so.
Thanks, thanks.
You did.
You had a good banter.
And I'm sure Johnny C. was excited when Bill was like, oh, and your love interest for the
week is Heather Locklear.
Who knows?
I don't think so.
I'm sorry.
What did you say?
But it was really fun.
John C. McGinley was single at this moment, too.
He was like, what?
Huh?
Huh?
What?
Yeah, he did the Ralph Glamour.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

Hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina, hamina. Heather, we were talking about in the episode before this one, because you're in that one too, about these pharmaceutical reps who are often attractive women and they flirt with the doctors.
Did you know about this before?
Yeah, did you know about it?
I did know about it.
They were like, oh, yeah, they take all the doctors to lunch and they flirt with them and give them all the, you know.
Yeah, I did.
I was very well aware.
But my favorite line was anal leakage and the thing I got to say.
I loved saying anal leakage.
I think I might have ruined a couple of shots.
That could be a good ringtone, guys.
Another one.
Another one.
We got another one.
Heather Locklear saying anal leakage could be your notification.
Oh, lovely.
But I did.
I was aware of that.
Yeah, because we were talking about in the last episode how it's such a thing where they hire, they recruit these beautiful women who doctors are going to want to flirt with and go to dinner and drinks with.
And we kept this going.
You know, you bring all this swag to the hospital
and the mug, actually, if you see,
there's an earlier scene in this where I'm holding,
I'm drinking coffee out of a Plomox mug.
That's the brand.
Oh my gosh.
And then I think, Donald,
didn't we keep it going for like a long,
many seasons?
Plomox shows up in the hospital.
There was always Plomox stuff all around
because of your, yeah.
All the swag you left stayed around for years.
Now, here's something I wonder, you know, they always say beautiful women doing that.
But are there beautiful men doing it because there's female doctors?
That's a very good question. I think there are. I think I'm sure there's.
I had a handsome friend. I had a handsome friend from high school who became one of those guys.
I definitely think they're they lean to being good-looking people because –
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think – again, I just remember knowing about this 20 – over 20 years ago because I knew girls who did it and they were all very pretty.
And they would tell me.
They were like, you won't believe how fucked up this is.
Like people don't know.
People don't – I remember a girl from my high school telling me, you can't believe the data we have on these doctors, the shit we know.
We know when they're prescribing it, what else they're prescribing, if they're not prescribing that, how it's compared to last month.
When we gave them a big incentive, that trip, look how much the graph showed how much they prescribed it more.
And I just could remember – I remember being like, this is so fucked up.
And then I thought it would be like discovered and over.
It's like payola back in the day of the radio station days.
And no, it's still going on.
It's still going on today.
Like aren't the doctors aware that this is happening and they're being duped in a way?
Oh, yeah, but they want the sushi lunch and the golf trip and the pretty woman, I'm sure.
I would love to go play golf with a pharmaceutical rep.
Get me out of the hospital for four hours.
Perfect.
Yeah.
And sometimes it's like a golf retreat.
All you have to do is go like watch the Plomox video and then you're like on a golf retreat.
Right.
Sipping mimosas by the pool.
Yeah.
Donald, we have to let Heather Locklear go because we only asked her.
Yes.
Listen, we only recruited a legend forlear go because we only asked her we only recruited
a legend for an hour
and we can't keep her
you're funny, you guys are funny
I love you guys, thank you
we really are big fans
we were both genuinely nervous
so I'm sorry if we spoke fast and nervously
no, no, me too
so I'm right with you
thank you, it was a pleasure but it was
such a big deal to have you on the show when when uh when this i remember when it happened and they
were like we got heather locklear and me being like holy shit how the hell did we get heather
locklear because you had a good show yeah well thank you very much but it was such a it was it
was such an amazing moment amazing moment to have you on the show and then still having an end also
because we had spent the summer together doing Uptown Girls.
Yeah. Right. That was crazy. It was really nice. And you know what?
It was such a joy for me to do because it was so different from what I was
doing and the writing is excellent. The show is great.
And you guys are great and et cetera, et cetera.
Well, thank you, Heather. We really appreciate you coming on.
And it's good to see you.
Good to see you.
Bye.
Take care.
Bye.
Do we have a caller?
Yes, we do.
We do have a caller.
Are we going to take him right away?
Do we have to go to break?
What do we do?
I think we should go to break first.
Let's just talk for one second about Heather Lockfield.
I have to admit, I was very nervous.
I spoke fast.
I apologize to the audience.
You have to understand I had such a crush on her as a young person,
and I was tongue-tied, Donald.
I was tongue-tied.
You did great.
You know what?
I sensed that you were a little nervous.
I was making – I was talking like that.
But I sensed it, and so I tried to throw you into a comfort zone and just have you talk about, you know, Garden State.
Oh, yeah, that was good.
Good alley-oop.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see what you did.
You're a good co-host.
You said, Zach's rambling nonsense.
Why don't I steer him to a subject he likes to discuss, directing films?
Right, exactly.
I see.
God, you're good.
It's just because I love you.
Fucking hell I love you.
I want to kiss that shiny dome.

Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
How about Sarah calling a vagina a bajingo?
Is this something that is said? It goes on forever.
It goes on forever.
No, but I'm saying, like, did they make this up, the Scrubs writers?
Because I've never heard a vagina called a bajingo before.
I've heard it called so many things that somebody somewhere has to call it a bajinga before i've heard it called so many things that it has somebody somewhere has to call it a bajinga like i've heard nani yeah my kiki vertical smile my right my my
my new new my shishi yeah my bajinga my budget my vagina my burr giner my burr giner my gina my giner
my gine gine
I don't like this at all
my gine gine
Joelle
Joelle are any
of those nicknames for vagina I don't know
we'll have to google it
I've never heard my gine gine before my gine gine know we'll have to google it there was crazy that you got to kind of
put it like a different like I don't
know where this accent would come from
but it's sort of like a growl my giant
giant too much my giant giant my giant
giant too much too much another another
one my giant giant another one another one
that's a fun game to play
make up nonsense terms for vagina
I'm glad we played
well you know
well listen bajingo is bajingo
that becomes Sarah's term for vagina
it's her go to
let's bring in our guest ok but don't mention any of the vagina terms around the guest That becomes Sarah's term for vagina. It's her go-to. It's her go-to.
Let's bring in our guest.
Okay, but don't mention any of the vagina terms around the guest.
Dude, I'm done.
I'm done with it.
I'm going to be appropriate.
Hey-o!
Hi!
Kelly!
And Shelly!
Hi, Shelly!
Who's Shelly?
Shelly is my mom. So the last I used this we um we were playing this categories
with my boyfriend who's in England but the day to you oh you she took the audience members she
took a sip of a of what looks like an appletini it looks like an appletini I don't think it's
wearing water she's wearing a Han Solo tank top, Donald.
Yeah, she knows the way to my heart.
Yeah, she does.
I'm going to say something real quick.
Yeah, go ahead.
Haley, you might just be the best guest we've ever had ever.
It's just official.
Because she's wearing that shirt.
Can you tell Donald where to get that shirt, Haley, please?
Got it at Forever 21, like 10K.
There you go, Donald.
That's not going to be me.
Donald, do shop at Forever 21. Donald it at forever. 21. Like there you go. That's not going to be Donald.
You shop in forever.
21.
Donald's forever.
46.
You know,
I thought forever.
21 was a store that you went to when you were 21.
I did too.
I thought that too,
but I was not 21 when I bought it.
So I thought forever 21 meant that you wanted to look like a 21 year old.
That's not what it is.
It means that everything under everything is $21 and under or something.
Really? Yeah.
Joelle, is that true?
I think there's things for over. It's it. Listen, I will say this.
You can buy a $3 t-shirt.
I think coats and bigger items were more expensive, but.
Yeah.
But you could divide it and at the end you get 21, right?
Something like that.
Oh my God.
This is a mind-blowing moment
for me because I, up to this moment,
thought the whole concept was, let's say
you're a little bit older, but you miss
feeling like a little hip. You can go
to Forever 21 and you're going to look forever
21. No, no, no, no, no.
It's, it's, it's, you got
a couple of, you got a couple of 21s
in your pocket.
What?
You got $105 in your pocket.
You can get five
outfits from Forever 21.
I did that math quick.
That was quick math.
Where are you calling from, Haley?
I'm in Soledad, California
at my mom's
right now. So this is where I've been
all locked down. Yeah.
Where is Soledad?
Where is Soledad?
I don't know where that is.
So it's near,
it's about half an hour South on the one-on-one of,
of Monterey.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's,
there's nothing here.
There's nothing.
What do you do?
What do you do?
What do you do in Soledad,
Haley?
Right now I bide my time until I get to go back to the UK.
So that's what I'm doing.
And that's where your boyfriend is.
Do you want to get back to him?
I do, yes.
Now, Hayley, you can go to the UK, Hayley.
You just have to quarantine for two weeks on your own.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we're doing a visa right now.
So we're working on that.
Oh, I see.
And are you content to be a transplant and live there full time with your boyfriend?
Yeah.
I'd love to be transplanted into that country.
So stick me there.
I do love the UK.
The UK is a lot of fun, dude.
We love it, too.
I'm going to be, yeah, I'm going to be transplanting there myself
Wait what?
Yeah
You're going to live in the UK?
Well for part
I'm dating a British woman
Yeah part time
I will be spending I'm sure a percentage of my life there
Don't get upset
I'm not moving there Donald
I'm just saying that
Hayley can attest If one is in a relationship with an English person upset. I'm not moving there, Donald. I'm just saying that if, if, if I'm, if one Haley can
attest, if one is in a relationship with an English person, you have to, you have to go
there sometimes. And it's a delightful place to go. Hey, listen, they could be from a country.
You don't want to visit. Haley and I are lucky that it's a country we both love.
And the food's not as bad as everyone says it is. Oh, the food's wonderful.
You can give me mushy peas any day of the week
Oh my god
Do I love mushy peas?
You like the bangers and mash?
I don't really eat pork
So I eat the mash but not the bangers
I don't understand why we don't have mushy peas in this country
Can I use your pool when you're gone?
But it's not as good
Can I use your pool when you're gone?
Yes you can use my pool when I'm gone
Okay cool I'm gone.
Okay, cool.
I'm going to miss you.
Haley doesn't have to hear about this.
We can negotiate that offline. That's all right.
No, it's fine.
Just make sure all my rafts stay inflated.
Right.
Anyway, Haley.
Haley, do you have a question for us?
Please, please, please.
Yes, I do.
I had it on a piece of paper, and I left it in the other room.
Go get it. Go get it. No, it it's fine okay um so this is my fruit cups yeah yeah yeah which is
probably my favorite episode and i don't really know why it's my favorite episode it's the one
i probably quote the most you know like the day to you sirs who walks away right um and i love the
the music the first scene whenever i
used to where i worked i wouldn't occasionally had to take you know a toilet paper roll or two
from work and i'd occasionally be like or you steal stuff and take it back to work or take it
back home um but i feel like it's a pivotal point for all the characters like dr cox gets back together with jordan jd and turk kind
of both realize that you know turk's relationship with carla is really solidifying in this and
elliot stands up to her dad so i was kind of wondering at what point in the series did you
think that your characters matured the most or whether it was how you played them or how it was
written all right hayley look at at Donald's smug face.
Does he say the same thing?
Yes.
No, he totally agrees with you.
He gave his 30-second summary
and touched on everything that you just said,
and that's why he's got that shit-eating grin on his face.
Why do they call it a shit-eating grin?
You wouldn't be grinning if you were eating shit, would you?
I would not be smiling
if I had to stick doo-doo in my mouth.
That would be like...
It would be like... I get it.
So it's not really a shit-eating grin.
It's the face you make where you're like,
oh god, this is so gross.
And it looks like a smile, but really...
Is that what it is?
It's a grin.
Joelle, are you looking that up for us?
We need to know the origin of shit-eating grin.
What the... Anyway. So Donald, you're best to answer that Joel are you looking that up for us we need to know the origin of shit eating grin what the
anyway
so Donald you're best to answer that because
you've already spoken about this briefly
I think this is the episode where
now when we were filming it no I did not realize
this because none of us knew where the show was going to go
at this point
but you're absolutely right
every story that's told in this
in this episode
goes to the end
each and every one of these stories
Elliot standing up
to her dad
this becomes her on her
own and having to make decisions on her own
and we see how crazy
life is for her when she
has to do that right she's a
hectic person judy uh uh carla
and turk go on to get married and have kids cox and jordan go on to have more children every one
of these and jd's in limbo for the rest of the season up until the last forever in limbo that
could be the name of the show forever in limbo up until season up until season eight you are forever in limbo you are the the the dude who has no idea we don't know where you're
gonna go but at this point if you were to look back after doing the whole show this would be
the episode my fruit cups where you're like this is where they gave us a taste of what was to come. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see that, to be honest.
I was just kind of in more of a micro viewing of it,
laughing at the jokes.
There was some, there's some ones like you keep saying,
bidet, bidet to you, sir.
The mention of bajingo.
There's a few classic sort of moments in here.
Laverne in the beginning when she's like, you look pretty.
Right.
Right. Analgesic. The pills go in's like, you look pretty. Right. Right.
Analgesic.
The pills go in your mouth, sir.
Analgesic.
And your Neil Diamond impersonation.
Right.
To Jimmy with Jimmy Crack Corn.
Yeah, Jimmy Crack Corn.
It's the first appearance of the Volvo, I believe.
Donald, do you know the...
Don't ruin it, Haley, because you probably know.
Donald, do you know the name of the brown Volvo?
No.
Malik. Yeah, it's Malik. It's Malik. We named No. Malik.
Yeah, it's Malik.
It's Malik?
We named the Volvo Malik?
Yeah.
I named my Volvo Malik?
Yeah.
Wow.
And then you named your scooter Sasha?
Wait, is it your Volvo or...
I think it's JD's.
It might be my Volvo.
I don't know.
Why did you name your brown Volvo Malik, dog?
I have a feeling you may have named it.
Yeah, I think Turk named the car.
Because I definitely named my scooter Sasha.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
You know, whenever I post a picture of me on anything two-wheeled,
people are like, is that new Sasha?
I'll post a picture of my motorcycle, and they're like,
ooh, Sasha got an upgrade.
There was that time that you bought me that scooter and it was gray.
You didn't even wear it.
You didn't even drive it once.
I did drive it around.
No, you fucking didn't.
I named it Sasha Gray.
Be honest.
You don't lie to Haley.
I named it Sasha Gray.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you named it Sasha Gray?
Yeah.
Oh, she'd be so honored.
And then you took it back.
Well, let's tell the audience the true story of this because it really was hurtful to me. No, I had to. Here's the thing. No, no, no. No, let's tell the audience the true story of this, because it really was hurtful to me.
No, I had to.
Here's the thing.
No, no, no.
No, be honest.
Don't do a censored version.
I'm going to be 100 percent honest.
So for my birthday, Zach buys me a scooter, a gray scooter.
Named Sasha Gray.
I named her Sasha Gray.
That's very clever.
Cousin of Macy Gray.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
Let's keep Haley innocent of any naughty knowledge.
Right.
And the problem with it was, though, is that you had to have a motorcycle license to drive it.
It wasn't one of those things where you could just, it wasn't a scooter that was slow enough that you could ride around on it and not have to have a license.
So if I would have got pulled over, they automatically would have been like,
let me see your license.
I'd be like, I don't have a license.
And then they'd confiscate Sasha Gray and then I'd never see her again.

important birthday. And I was
like, I want to do something, like, baller for you.

Haley and when you come outside there's going to be

quite a few times
bullshit
Haley you know what
I finally did
you want me to go get Casey
I reclaimed that shit Haley
I was like
I'm taking her back.
You repoed that shit.
That shit was straight up
out of a Jay-Z song.
Yeah,
I rolled up.
I rolled up and took it back
at a protest.
They repoed your vehicle.
Everything was all good
just a week ago.
That's what you did.
You repoed the vehicle.
I took Sasha Gray
away from you.
You did,
and it hurt my feelings
Yeah I understand
Anyway sorry we had to air that
In front of you Hayley
Do you have any other questions for Donald Faison
Or Joelle or Daniel
I guess I have a funny story
That relates to Zach what you were talking about
A few episodes ago with the Temple of Doom
Yeah
I have a funny
I can ask my question or I can relay
another silly story.
Tell us your silly story.
We've answered it.
Tell us your silly story
and if it's not funny,
we'll let you ask
We can edit it out.
Yeah, we'll ask you a question.
We edit out everything.
No worries.
So when I was maybe
about eight, nine, ten,
I noticed that I had
What were you,
eight, nine, or ten?
In between there.
I don't really remember.
So you were
I was an adolescent.
Right on.
Got it.
Got it.
Go ahead.
But I had noticed that there was something kind of growing on my throat area.
And I went up to my dad, who's a doctor.
And I was like, dad, look, I have an Adam's apple.
Because I was a child, I didn't know that that was not a girl thing to have.
Right.
Like, well, that's not normal.
So we went to go get it checked out.
And I had to get
something removed that was growing on my vocal cords and it was as a child surgery is kind of
scary so after we had done the surgery and i was staying overnight um my dad was like oh we have
some movies that are at the hospital here we'll watch this one it was indiana jones temple of doom
and right when it gets to the part, you know, when he's ripping out the heart.
I just immediately started bawling.
Yeah.
Thanks a lot, dad.
Yeah.
That's exactly.
My mom came the next day.
She's like, yeah, she had this really bad reaction to the movie.
And she's like, well, of course she did.
They were ripping out somebody's heart.
Yeah.
And I don't think I watched it for at least another 10 years.
And then I watched it again.
And I was like, this isn't that bad.
I know.
But Haley, just like me.
It's one of the best movies ever made.
But Haley and I were scarred by this film.
Our parents made bad choices.
How can you be upset at that movie?
I love Indiana Jones.
I had a whole birthday revolved around Indiana Jones later.
Not Temple of Doom. the first one mainly.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is just as scary when they open the Ark of the Covenant
and it makes the dude's face melt.
No, I had no problem with that.
I had no problem with that.
There was something about –
There's a man that screams like a blood-curdling scream.
He's like –
Screams like that.
I backed up from the mic.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
You're welcome, America.
America, UK, Germany, Italy.
Australia.
You listen, Australia.
You're welcome.
Another one.
Another one.
A lot of people are asking.
I don't mean to cut you off, but a lot of people are asking me,
and I feel we need to explain this.
We didn't make up another one.
Oh, yeah.
I just thought everyone would know the pop culture thing of another one.
No.
DJ Khaled.
Yes.
DJ Khaled.
Khalid.
Khalid.
It's Khaled.
Isn't it Khaled?
Depends.
You know, some people say Khalid.
Some people say Khalid.
Dan, you're a DJ.
What is it? Well, there's Khalid, Khalid Dan you're a DJ what is it?
Well there's Khalid the artist who made Talk
and then I thought it was DJ Khaled
with a more like ah
DJ Khaled
DJ Khaled when he drops
his latest tracks he will
in the spirit of Puffy back in the day
going eh eh eh eh
or can't stop won't stop
yeah his thing is another one.
Like here's another hit song for you guys.
Yes, another one.
There's that and then there's Major Key.
And then there's we the best.
Major Key means what?
The song is in a Major Key?
I don't know what Major Key is.
That's a question to ask Scrubs Wiki.
Scrubs Wiki. Scrubs Wiki.
No, now we're going to go to.
Is he on board yet?
Imagine we have asked DJ Khaled.
And now we're going to go to ask DJ Khaled.
What did you mean by Major Key?
Another one.
Joelle, did you ever find out what Shit Eating Grin was about?
Yeah, there's a couple of stories.
You want to hear them?
Yeah, please.
Sure.
Okay. about? Yeah, there's a couple of stories. You want to hear them? Yeah, please. Sure. Okay, so my favorite one comes from R.B. Smith. He's from the UCSD Astrophysics
Program, and this is off of the SanDiegoReader.com. He says the
original form of this phrase was grinning like a possum eating shit,
which was occasionally euphemized to grinning like a possum eating pumpkin seeds.
To those of us fortunate enough to have observed this teeth together, lips apart,
smile on the face of the aforementioned marsupial munching on the aforementioned
sectological delicacy, he's smart.
The expression conjures up a very explicit and not infrequently very apropos image.
So that's part of it.
Did he say scatological delicacy?
Yes.
Those are not two words I've ever heard together.
It was not fun to say.
That's the name of my band.
So it's referring to an animal who's eating shit and has a big smile on his face because the animal likes eating shit.
But it's not really shit.
It's actually pumpkin.
Pumpkin seed.
No, no, no.
No, that's like a clean version if you don't want to say it.
If you're saying it in front of a kid,'re like oh he's like he's eating pumpkin look at that pumpkin seed eating grin on his face yeah
i'm gonna start saying pumpkin seed eating grin instead of shit eating grin um hayley um we like
you so much we're gonna end with one more question from you all right um if so i don't know if you
guys remember because i know you guys have been saying that you don't remember some of the episodes.
But if there was one line that another character had
that you wish you could have had to say,
do you remember which one it was?
Good question.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Nope. I like in your end, in your endo that's it i say that a lot as well i say that a lot i think
i'd take um sometimes when i'm banging this mattress i i pretend i'm banging that one
um it's usually something rob quotes something todd said the todd says um I also like Neil's line.
The good Lord didn't bless my wife with all 10 fingers.
That's another.
Pointer.
Thumb pinky.
Yeah, pointer and thumb pinky.
I love my French.
My French is very popular.
Yeah.
You know, for kids.
For kids.
You know, I want to be the one inside of you.
I thought that was
very funny too.
But I said that.
You said that,
so you didn't really
answer her question.
You're the only man
who's ever been
inside of me.
Whoa.
I just took out
his appendix.
There's no need
to clarify.
Oh no.
Okay, sorry.
We're doing this again.
Haley, thank you so much
for coming on.
Good luck getting to be with your fella in the United Kingdom. Thank you, sorry. We're doing this again. Haley, thank you so much for coming on. Good luck getting to be with your fella in the United Kingdom.
Thank you, guys.
Perhaps I'll see you over there after we've both quarantined.
Most likely you won't, but it would be nice.
Donald, this is called pleasantries, Donald.
I will wave to you.
I'm all about keeping it real, Zach.
And the train.
It's not a train.
It's called the tube. Well, there are trains. The tube is only in London. Yeah, Zach. And the train. It's not a train. It's called the tube.
Well, there are trains.
The tube is only in London.
Yeah, Donald, don't listen.
I thought that's where you were going.
Isn't the UK London?
I'm in Newcastle, so I'm in like the north-north of London.
That's where I'm going.
Oh, aren't we ritzy?
No, it's not ritzy.
It's not ritzy.
London isn't ritzy.
London is the hood hood if you ask me
tonight on
Donald talks about different neighborhoods of London
alright bye Hayley
thank you so much for calling
thank you guys
bye
I once saw Lisa Marie Presley in London
really
yeah like at a show she did a show
it was like my buddy was like,
Lisa Marie Presley's performing.
You know, first of all,
I'm glad we're all finally alone now
because I feel like we had to be great for Heather
and then we had to host Haley, who was delightful.
But sometimes you just want to just curl up on the couch
with your friends and just shoot the shit, you know?
No, I totally agree.
Yeah. So let's just, let's relax. relax i'm gonna undo the top button on my pants and just
i'm gonna kick my shoes off let's pack a bowl and let's just fucking relax now
okay no more house guests no more visitors okay just us let's get fetal on the couch and watch Alone.
And that's the show, ladies and gentlemen.
No, no, no, no. It's not. We got more to do.
So, Krista Miller's back on the episode. Krista Miller's back looking gorgeous
and pregnant.
Is that William in her belly?
That must be Will in her belly, yes.
That's amazing.
When I told Casey that she was like,
holy cow.
It was,
this was that long ago.
Cause William is a,
what is he?
A senior in high school now?
Yes.
He must be.
And he dunks.
He can dunk.
And he plays basketball and he got the game.
Yeah.
You guys are seeing him in this episode in utero.
And now he dunks.
If you want to see him do it, you can to bill lawrence's yeah bill lawrence on bill lawrence's v dozer v dozer's instagram you can see
his his son dunk um how about at 10 13 when i go i told you you smoked the ganja yeah that was
improv'd that wasn't something oh really that was improv. I remember it was something else originally.
That was funny.
Yeah, I remember laughing so hard when you said that, too.
And I remember thinking, that'll never make this episode.
That'll never make this show.
Yeah, because we weren't allowed to talk about weed back then.
It was so scandalous.
Now, I want to know something.
I read on Scrubs Wiki that your Brady Bunch trivia here is wrong.
Just so you know.
Listen, I don't know nothing about the Brady Bunch in the first place, so I don't doubt it.
Turk is quite wrong here, and I'll tell you why.
I can't back it up, though, because I don't know shit about the Brady Bunch.
I'm just telling you so you know if it ever comes up again in your life.
When Turk tries to prove his knowledge of the Brady Bunch by describing exactly which episode J.D. is referring to, he's incorrect.
He claims the episode,
quote, Marsha Gets Creamed,
end quote, was in, by the way,
you could never name a show that today,
was in season,
was in season five,
episode three, while it was actually
episode seven that season.
So somebody fucked up. We can blame
who wrote this. J'Nai! J'Nai. Who wrote this? J'Nai, you fucked up. We can blame who wrote this. Janae!
Who wrote this?
Janae, you fucked up, okay? And you're a Northwestern
grad. I expected more from you.
I really gotta hand it to Krista
in this episode, you know, making
fun of herself and
making fun of the fact that
she's pregnant and being so vulnerable.
She did such a great job. And the scene in the
bathroom where she's crying, you know, and.
It felt very raw and real.
Yeah, it did, you know, and.
I remember when my wife was pregnant and there were days where she didn't
necessarily feel like, you know, she was the sexiest person on the planet.
And I remember just thinking, wow, she's so beautiful.
She's so beautiful.
And I feel like that's what Cox was going through in this episode.
You know, regardless of him dating Heather Locklear's character
and everything like that, there's something special about
when you see somebody who you love
and they're carrying your baby inside of them
that you just think they're the most beautiful human on the planet.
Like I did,
I just,
I just remember looking at Casey and being like,
holy shit,
she's so beautiful.
And she'd,
and she'd be like,
I got three chins.
I'd be like,
I don't give a shit.
You could have 20 chins.
You look so beautiful.
I love all three of them.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Well,
I bet,
you know,
Chris is a really good actress,
but I also bet that, you know, she was legit pregnant and, uh, I'm sure that she could call
upon those feelings. Um, when she's sitting on the bathroom floor feeling, you know,
undesired by, by Dr. Cox. I thought that was a really nice scene between the two of them.
Yeah. And it was a good fake out too. Yeah, that was clever how they had to do that. So Johnny C
grabs two things of whiskey.
Heather's on the couch.
By the time he comes around, it's been changed to Krista.
And she's like, you know I can't drink that, right?
He's like, yeah, they're both for me.
Yeah.
I love that.
Yeah.
Now this, we've said it a couple of times,
but this is one of the greatest lines in Scrubs history
in this episode, 1309.
I have one of those French things that shoots water up my butt.
Bidet?
Bidet to use her.
Clever.
I said bidet.
That was very clever.
Heather has a line that's funny
when she disses Kristen.
She says,
anywhere anybody looks,
they'll see you.
That was fucked up.
And how about when I scare you in the ambulance
and you scream?
That was funny.
Yeah, and yeah, I was going to say,
dude, such a good scene, man.
That's one of those moments, you know,
we've worked together for a really long time
and you have, and I've seen,
I feel like I've seen most of your tricks.
You've developed some new tricks that I haven't seen in the last 10 years
because you've gone on to work on other things and everything like that.
But this is one of those, this is one of the first times where we had done a season of,
of scrubs together already.
And I hadn't seen you play this side before, where it was like you were thinking, you're really thinking about it in the scene.
And it disturbs you, but it doesn't disturb you to where you're kind of fucked up about it.
But it's just like, holy shit, life's changing for us.
And I had never seen you play that before and i remember watching this because i watched it like two uh two hours ago and thinking if i remember correctly i remember zach not knowing
how he wanted to play this scene and we worked on this on his side for a bit and this is what
he came up with and it works so well dude it works it's like it's it's one of those moments
where you know you're in awe of the moment as an actor but you're also you want to keep it grounded
like so she said she said you said we no she said we you know what i mean and uh that could have
been played so many other ways it could have beenplayed, but you played it very thoughtfully.
And I thought that was so amazing.
Thank you.
Thank you for saying that.
You know, on this show,
it was always,
you and I so easily went into the silly stuff.
Right.
Because that's who we are
and that came naturally to us.
But then there was always these great moments
and this scene is one of them
where we have this sort of heart to heart
where we would have to shift our brains a bit and be like, no, no, no, uh,
go out of broad silliness and like drop in and be just totally real and
straight with one another.
And I think that's one of the things that made this show special to a lot of
people because, um, because it, it had the, it had the ability to do that.
It had the ability to drop in and be real.
Yeah. And, and, and. And that's, I mean, obviously that's the reason why we ran for so long.
But that's such a special thing, man, for me now,
to go back and look at the things that we did in our past
and the things that, you know, it's a lot like what this episode is about,
you know, just to look at, you know, moments that we had back in the day and really
appreciating them you know uh i miss the camaraderie that we had i don't think i'll ever
in my life experience what we experienced when we were making this show again and you know you
search for it and you try to create it with other people. And sometimes you
even fake it, but you and I- But we were also young. But we were also young. And I mean,
first of all, yeah, of course, nine-year runs on a show with great people is not something that
happens multiple times in a lifetime necessarily. But also we were young and so wide-eyed and so um excited and really savoring it i think and now you know
you have a family you know we all have grown up we've got other things going on i don't even know
that we would i don't even know if it's recreatable in a new environment you know what i mean yeah i
i i can't imagine myself like i can't imagine myself spending the amount of time that we've spent together with someone else now, you know, other than my wife.
And the hours, too, man.
I don't want to work that hard.
I don't mind working those hours.
I love working, but when I look at this show, we were just non-existent.
Well, you worked a lot.
There were times where you just didn't do.
I just didn't leave. There were times where i thought about sleeping in that fucking hospital yeah no not me but i never did um listen the rooftop that ends this show wasn't it downtown
la i don't know i would like to believe that it was it could have been joseph's no it wasn't it
was a it was a fancy rooftop and i believe that we went. It could have been Joseph's. No, it wasn't. It was a fancy rooftop.
And I believe that we went downtown LA for it.
But Scrubs Wiki is saying that it was at UCLA.
And I think it might be wrong.
And they're saying it's the roof of Cobble Cone.
And we're going to give this to freaking Funkos, man?
No, listen.
He deserves Funkos for the services he's already performed.
They're giving us false, false.
It's false, though, man.
Definitely.
Where at UCLA was that?
He says, well, Wiki, or it's not just him.
Him and his thousand minions say,
Where did they say?
Covel Commons.
But that would be Westwood,
and that's not Westwood in the end of the show.
Right, Dan?
Do you want to ask Bill?
Do you think Bill would remember?
Bill's not going to remember either.
He's not going to remember that.
Let's ask DJ Khaled.
DJ Khaled, at the end of this episode, what building are we on?
I believe it was downtown.
Some are saying it's a UCLA property, which is Westwood.
What are your thoughts on this?
Zach.
Major key.
I got nothing.
I really honestly don't even have a DJ Khaled impersonation Zach. Major Key. I got nothing.
I really honestly don't even have a DJ Khaled impersonation in my repertoire.
If you watch Scrubs on Hulu, they play a DJ Khaled commercial about somebody brushing their teeth.
And DJ Khaled's like, circular motions.
Do another one.
What if I do DJ Khaled? emotions. Do another one. Another one.
What if I do DJ Khaled, but as an impersonation
that I'm good at?
You, the audience,
will just have to pretend this is how he talks.
Go ahead.
He talks like Aaron Neville.
Another one.
I don't remember
where you guys shot that scene, but I don't think where you guys shot that scene,
but I don't think it was UCLA.
It was downtown LA.
That's how DJ Khaled talks in my mind.
Oh, my God.
Oh, man.
Aaron Neville's rolling over in his grave right now. Did Aaron Neville die? I don't know, but he's rolling over in his grave right now.
Did Aaron Neville die?
I don't know, but he's rolling over in his grave right now.
Why is he rolling over in his grave if he's alive?
Well, that's something Charles Barkley says.
Oh, okay.
DJ Khaled, is Aaron Neville dead?
No, he is very much alive.
We should probably end this fucking show We're losing our minds
Great show
Listeners we love you
Why is the janitor stealing a computer
I don't know
The whole episode he's trying to figure out
Who's stealing all these drugs
I think the reveal is that he's the one stealing everything
Out of the hospital
Well no he didn't steal the drugs
And he definitely didn't steal the Puddin' Pops,
the Puddin', because we did.
