One minute late, huh?
I knew you were going to say something. I knew you were going to try and say something. That's how you're doing it now? One minute late, huh? I knew you were going to say something.
That's how you're doing it now?
One minute late?
I've never been anything but five minutes early.
I knew you were going to say some shit.
One minute late and you got a hat on and everything.
Look at you.
You got a little scully on.
Don't you find this weather in L.A. is like if you stand in one spot, it's hot.
And if you stand in another spot, it's cold.
Isn't that called global warming? No, it's hot. And if you stand in another spot, it's cold. Isn't that called global warming?
No, it's probably called fall in LA.
Because in the sun, you could wear a bathing suit.
And then in the shadows, I need my hat.
Isn't that called global warming?
Yo, it's voting day.
This is fucking election day, everybody.
It's the day.
Yo, first of all all you voted already obviously
yes of course i went and dropped it off in the ballot box in west hollywood hell i did i did so
myself not in west hollywood but uh in my neighborhood i'm really excited about the
turnout so far yes Yes. I am.
You know, you guys aren't going to hear this until.
When does this come out?
It is election day.
This is Tuesday election day.

We're not the Scrubs podcast.
We're here to tell you to vote.
No, that's not why we're here.
But not only that, tonight, for all of you who've gone out and voted already, you get to watch television and watch the election. And and Joelle, that we may not know these results on Tuesday night.
Trump is very, very, very, very committed to saying we need to know the results that night.
That's bullshit.
Because of the incredible surge of mail-in voting, some states aren't even allowed to start counting until the day of.
until the day of. So everyone needs to be prepared and prepare their friends that this might not be the typical situation where we know the result that night, tonight. Sorry, I have to speak like
we're, like it's Tuesday. Probably closer to 2000 when we had the whole like hanging Chad,
Florida votes kind of thing happening. It'll be a similar situation to that where probably a week
or so after we'll have a final, we'll florida florida once again florida once again is the biggest whoever wins
florida is probably going to win this election once again and ohio too probably but pennsylvania
once again pennsylvania pennsylvania is really the one pennsylvania and i'm the surprise of
texas because there is a little tex about Texas flipping, which would be the greatest.
Texas all of a sudden too.
That would be amazing, right?
That feels like a long shot, but there is talk of Texas flipping.
More people voted this year in Texas already than they voted in four years ago.
Right.
In 2016.

you like it oh it's so fucking dope oh excuse my language george lucas and.J. Abrams. Excuse your language.
We're calling each other curses all the time.
From here on out, when I talk about Star Wars, I'm trying my hardest not to curse.
Okay.
I'm going to respect Star Wars so much that I'm going to curb my language when talking about Star Wars.
Okay.
But it's so amazing, dude.
It is so...
Listen, I enjoyed it so much.
And a friend of mine's in it.
And it was just something that I...
You know, somebody who I
played basketball against and somebody who I played
on the same team
and also, you know, celebrity all-star games
and stuff like that is on
The Mandalorian
in this episode and has some iconic
stuff going on with him.
And I just, it was just really awesome to see.
Jewel, did you watch?
I watched it twice.
I loved it.
I thought it was really good.
It's so much more improved.
It proves a lot on season one.
I think they learned a lot from how they shot it.
I feel like there's a lot more depth.
I thought the Western aspects of it soared.
And there's like,
ah,
the way that they bring up small things in the background of the movies and
make them the center of the show is just like,
it just fills your Star Wars heart with love.
It's so good.
Yeah.
Daniel,
you see it yet?
No,
I have not watched it yet.
I think I have to wait for my girlfriend.
She's out of town, but back tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I have to wait.
Why?
Because, you know, I don't know how it is with you and your relationship.
I didn't wait for my wife.
There are shows that we have to wait, or we have, you know.
We share it. She loves it, too, so we watch it together. Have you started watching The Bachelor yet? You know what I have to wait or we have, you know, we share it.
She loves it too.
So we watch it together.
Have you started watching The Bachelor yet?
You know what I have to do?
I give this.
I don't watch that shit.
You don't watch The Bachelor?
Okay.
I mean, this is the one, it's The Bachelorette right now, right?
Yeah.
I didn't, I watched like the first episode and I was like, this is so stupid.
Why am I watching this?
Oh my gosh.
You know, what?
Sure, whatever.
Yeah.
You watch it with your wife.
You watch it because that's something
you watch with your wife.
Daniel, it's so tasty.
It's so tasty.
It's so tasty.
It's just pure, just sour patch kids.
Oh my God.
It's like you're going to see a Marvel movie
and you've got all of the freaking candy in your lap.
It's the Marvel movie for drama.
Oh my God.
It's just like.
I don't like it.
I don't like the ones where it's men competing.
Oh, it's the best.
To see how petty men can be is the best thing ever.
No, I think the women fighting is way more entertaining.
No, my brother.
No, my brother.
That's like freaking stereotypical.
That's what the show is.
I'm just telling you what I prefer.
I'd rather watch a bunch of women argue than watch a bunch of men argue.
I'm sorry.
That's my taste.
It's way funnier to watch men try to stay in between the lines of not getting punched in the face and still trying to insult somebody.
That's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
She seemed in love with the black guy who's the first guy she met.
It was like, oh, it seems like it's over.
She was just like drop-jawed.
It is over.
A new Bachelorette will be on, and the two of them run off together.
Wait, in the middle of the show?
Yes, three episodes.
In the third episode.
In the third episode.
Disney, ABC, you's good TV. ABC.
You're welcome for this shameless.
Yeah, you're welcome, ABC.
Shameless.
And some people might be upset by spoilers, but I don't give a fuck.
You're telling me she picks the black guy like three episodes in and they have to change the person out?
It is.
It changed the Bachelorette out.
That's funny.
And some of the dudes like,, and you see, like,
especially after, like, all of the Me Too stuff has happened
and you start to realize, you start to recognize as a man
some of the things that aren't acceptable anymore
and how men talk to women and how all of that happens
and stuff like that, you really see some,
well, at least one dude just go into, like, a tirade
where it's like, your power move you're
trying to pull a power move on this on this young lady and that is totally whack and then then she
flips it and she's pulling power moves on these dudes just for this one dude just for this one
guy man it's like it's it's it's it's i i i when it came on talking about The Bachelorette like it's fucking a Marvel movie.
When it came on, I told my wife, I'll be in the other room.
Please don't bother me.
I went to the fridge to get some GT's kombucha.
Yeah.
And as I'm grabbing the kombucha, within seconds, I was already making my way towards the couch asking, wait, what?
It's like –
Is this the only thing that you and your wife watch together?
Yeah, because she's into all of that freaking 48 hours and murder.
True crime.
What about sports?
Does she watch the sports with you?
Yeah, she's the one that got me into football.
I wasn't really into football unless the Giants were involved when I was a kid.
And I became a grown man and met my wife at 30-something years old, in my early 30s.
And she took me to my first football game ever.
And she took me to see a New York team play her hometown team.
And we sat in the box of the quarterbacks and shit like that it was like oh because she dialed in yeah well you know
her her best friend was dating the quarterback of the dallas cowboys at the time yeah or they
were about or they were about to date but anyway it was one of the and it was thanksgiving and
it was like my first time not really flying home. And
you know, I didn't, I was divorced from my ex-wife, God rest her soul. And so I'm not going
over to their house and spending Thanksgiving with my kids. And she took me to Dallas for my
first time really in Dallas to a football game. And this was very early in our relationship and i got to hang out with you know
the quarterback of the dallas cowboys and other players it was really cool and she got me into
football and now i know more about football than she does all right should we get in the show
don why don't you count us into some fun fun fun programming with our favorite numbers. Five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made.
About a bunch of doctors 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. Welcome to the program, everybody.
We are so appreciative that you listen to this.
We are so appreciative of you liking just sitting around chatting with us all.
We love doing it for you.
And Donald is going to summarize the show as he often does,
often takes him roughly 37 seconds.
We never know what's going to happen.
Okay, so with this one, I watched the show earlier, and then I went out and did my daily stuff and came back,
and now that I look at my notes, I like what I wrote,
but I feel like I missed a couple of things,
so there might be a little bit of ad-libbing in this to all okay oh so this is exciting for for fans donald may riff
he may um what do you call when a rapper just freestyles freestyle well this is well yeah
because it's not off the top so there is a bit of freestyle in it like you might freestyle
as you are spinning some bars you you may freestyle. That's my dude right there, man.
Can I ask a side note question?
When guys are like Eminem, like spitting freestyle bars, don't you think they have it all that shit memorized?
They're not really fucking.
No, but that's the difference between freestyle and off the top of the head.
So off the top of the head is when it's completely, you're making it up right there at that moment.
head so off the top of the head is when it's completely you're making it up right there at that moment freestyle is when you're giving people uh bars that you've written and put together
already uh for free you know what i mean and people get to listen to your stuff but that video
when eminem was like in the garage and he was like no nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh. That was off the top of the head probably.
Really?
You believe that?
You're talking about when he's, which one are you talking about?
I don't know.
I don't watch a lot of this, but I remember a few years ago,
one or two years ago, Eminem was in a parking garage
and all his boys were sitting on a car.
Right.
And he's walking around.
That was the BET Awards.
And then Chris D'Elia did a big spoof of it.
Yeah, that was the BET Awards. I believe that was off the top did a big spoof of it. Yeah, that was the BET Awards.
I believe that was off the top of the head.
I believe that was off the top of the head.
I feel like when rappers do freestyle, the verse is a little bit more,
Daniel, you could correct me if you believe I'm wrong,
but I feel like the verse is a little bit more polished when it's freestyle.
So if somebody goes on the radio and they spit a couple of bars,
and they're like, all right, this is freestyle. It's just like a bunch of songs that
they put together or a bunch of lines that they put together just for, and it's not necessarily
in an order, but when it's off the top of the head, they're just coming in and saying, all right,
I'm not going to say anything that I've written before.
This is all about right now. You know what I mean?
I wanted to offer a slightly different perspective on the same idea. As a DJ, I would very rarely
plan DJ sets. I would rarely plan this song goes into this song goes into this song goes into this
song because I've been DJing for a very long time. And with that in my head already, I have hundreds and hundreds of one, two, three song combinations that I know we're going to work
well together. So freestyle. Right, exactly. So over that set, I may be putting together a couple
different pieces that I already know work together in a set that I'm not necessarily planning.
So maybe the order of the songs I've
played, I've never ever played before. But it doesn't mean that a couple of those transitions,
I don't know very, very well. And I think it's the same thing with freestyle rap. These guys have,
you know, worked with these themes and motifs and all of this stuff so much that a lot of those
rhymes, a lot of those, you know, lyrical plays are pieces that they've done over and over and
over, maybe not in that order, maybe not on that topic,
but it's a subject, it's a method that they're very familiar with.
So it's kind of, I don't want to say easier,
but it's part of the practice.
Well said.
I guess I'm just cynical when people are supposedly coming up with it,
not like freestyle, just like totally fresh.
And I'm like, come on, buddy.
You fucking hit that out last night. Well, there are some people that do have that talent though there are some people that
you know to go into a recording booth and do your verse and do it in one take
is a talent you know what i mean that means you've not only uh worked on it but you're so
connected to the beat that you're so connected to the beat
that you're able to ride the rhythm also, you know?
That's different.
A guy goes in, doesn't he usually write it out
when he goes into the recording booth?
Well, sometimes he writes it at that moment and then goes in.
Or as Jay-Z, Jay-Z is one of the masters of freestyle.
Lil Wayne, he was one of the masters of freestyle.
But if you don't write your rhymes and you just try to think of it,
and you think about Biggie, the notorious B.I.G. is the king of this,
where he would sit in the studio and just listen to the beat.
And as he listened, he'd sit there and rehearse it in his head, right?
And then as it went on, as it got to the point where, you know,
I don't know how long it would take.
He'd be like, all right, I'm ready.
And then he'd go into the booth and drop what he was rehearsing.
To do that, that's freestyle to me.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like in my mind, all right, I'm going to say this, this, this, and this, and this.
And at this part, I'm going to try and freak it like this.
Okay.
And then I said, right, right, right.
And then always go back.
And when you listen to it, the ah and the, you know what I mean,
him catching the beat, all of that shit is so raw because it's not written.
It's him feeling it and being in it.
That's a bit of freestyle right there.
You know what I mean?
And that's what makes the great ones.
Jay-Z is another one that does that.
I heard Lil Wayne's somebody that does that.
I heard he would just go on for days, sit in front of a little microphone and a keyboard
and just rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and rap.
That's how it was when I did my Passover rap that I sang for you guys a while back.
Did you sing your Passover rap?
Or was that on something else?
Didn't I do my Passover rap for you guys?
I don't think so.
I don't think I've ever heard your Passover rap.
Yeah, you did your Passover rap.
Thanks a lot, Donald.
Yeah, when you were talking, it was
Lane, Hal, and Zach took a trip to Boston.
Something about
the reasons unknown.
Just remember your cones.
Yeah.
Now, I was fired, Donald.
Thanks for remembering.
I remember that.
Dog.
What?
Can we hear it again?
Yeah.
One day, four people took a trip to Boston, a Lane, Hal, and Zach, and an Audi 5000.
The reason for the trip was Passover time.
If we snook some bread in, it would be a crime.
Just remember on this five-hour trip,
McDonald's and Burger King we would skip.
The reason for this deed was Passover
time. If we snook some bread in,
it would be a crime. Why do we
go so far when we can pray at home?
The reason was unknown. Just remember your comb.
That's slick, man.
You know what I love about that?
You know what I love about that?
What?
I love that as a youth, you understood that your parents were just taking you on this long-ass journey so that you would not think about food.
But on this journey, you guys passed McDonald's and Burger King and all of these spots.
This was at the time of the Beastie Boys fight for your right to party era, right?
That's the time of the Beastie Boys, like, fight for your right to party era, right?
So that was my introduction as a Jewish kid in North Jersey.
I didn't know anything about any other rap, really, other than the Beastie Boys singing,
you gotta fight for your right.
That's the only Beastie Boys you knew as a youth?
No, I knew the whole album.
I'm just saying that you can go ahead and make your jokes that that was my introduction to rap, but that's what it was.
Let me ask you one question.
What?
On that record, what was your favorite song?
I would have to look at the track list.
I don't have it memorized.
The one with the plane, right?
The one with the plane?
Yeah.
Did you like Paul Revere at all?
Yes!
I even got some of that memorized, I think.
That's one of the best.
I did it like this. I did it like that.
I did it with a wiffle ball bat. So I'm on the run. The cops got my gun
and right about now I'm trying to have some fun.
The king at rock, that is my name, and I got
the fly swatter, the vodka, champagne.
Okay!
ZB got old school, y'all.
Alright, come on. Let's talk about this
fucking TV show Scrubs. That's why people are here. Oh wait, alright, so do your recap. Ready? Okay, y'all. All right, come on. Let's talk about this fucking TV show Scrubs.
That's why people are here.
Oh, wait.
All right, so do your recap.
Ready?
Okay, here we go.
And start.
Carla and Elliot are best friends thanks to Eric Estrada.
Dr. Kelso orders the hospital new stethoscopes
but pays the price for trying to cut the corners.
JD's dating Jordan's sister.
Cox hates this so much that he tries to sabotage it.
No relationship is perfect. You have to nurture all relationships, all of them, whether they be
at work or with a person. And oftentimes, just showing up isn't enough. Effort is required.
And sometimes, it's hard to muster up the energy to do so because life is exhausting.
But if you have love, you fight for it.
If you love what you do, you follow through.
Your effort and attention to others' needs could be what's required to save a relationship.
Amen. Amen.
Relationships are hard, Don. You got to work at it.
You got to work.
You got to work.
But it's not just, you know's not, you know, I'm, I, you know, that's, that's,
that's the theme of this show, but it's not just, you know, with another person,
your relationship with your job is just as important. Your relationship with, you know,
how you are with the outside world. If that, I don't, I don't know, I don't know how you would
describe that relationship, but who you are when you step in front of the world is just as important as you know how you manifest
and nurture your personal relationship the question is in all your relationships do you
want to put in the work or do you want to run and right right or do you want to or do you want to
just see what happens and and you know cox and and JD are a perfect example of two dudes that just wanted to get the fuck out of the hospital and, you know, because of this annoying patient and realize at dinner that they're being a little too insensitive and that, holy cow, maybe we, you know, we're not seeing the signs because we're not paying attention to our job.
We're not doing the best that we're not being the best that we can be.
And we're not listening to what this young lady is saying to us.
And so at the end, when they rushed back to the hospital,
when they realized what the problem is, you know, that really,
that was a big moment for me because this episode isn't
necessarily my favorite episode it's not necessarily the funniest did you find it odd though i mean
it didn't cross their minds that she i mean she fucking ate pesticide like they didn't cross their
mind that like she might be suicidal i thought that was a little weird that was very that well
you know we don't like we We've done all these tests,
and we even sent some people to your house,
and we just can't figure out why there might be pesticide in your system.
I don't know.
I just thought it was a little weird.
It's, you know, hey...
But what do I know?
I'm not a genius Bill Lawrence
whose show Ted Lasso just got picked up
for two more seasons.
That's amazing.
Congratulations, Bill.
Do you know how big that show is internationally
and domestically?
I mean, they picked it up for,
they haven't even started season two
and they picked up two and three.
So go, Bill.
Damn, that's so crazy
because speaking of which.
Oh, no.
That's so wild.
Interrupting Bill.
Oh, man.
Just when I gave him a compliment.
Interrupting Bill.
Oh, he's interrupting. All right. I'm trying to do a song out. Yourupting Bill. Always interrupting.
All right.
I'm trying to do a song.
You thought he was cocky before.
Wait for this.
I've missed you guys.
You're doing a great job on my podcast.
I appreciate it.
What a dick.
So here is the question for today, and don't cheat.
My 15 seconds.
Every time you guys enter Jill Tracy's room,
doctors only spend 15 seconds with a patient on average,
and a clock comes up.
One, question one, do you think that's a real thing
or that we made it up for the show?
I think it must be a real thing.
It's too weird to not.
To me, it's too random and weird
To have been made up
It does feel short as someone who's unfortunately
Spent a bunch of time in hospitals in the last few years
But I feel like he wouldn't
Pull that out of his butt
I think they made it up
Okay alright let's find out
Wrong or right
It's not really
A real thing.
And we did make it up for the show
because I find that if you put a small dramatic thing like that in there
that people believe, it actually kind of helps your storytelling.
But the even more crafty cheating aspect to this,
every time you went in there and the 15 second clock showed up,
do you think it was actually 15 seconds?
No, it wasn't.
I know that.
I know that from Scrubs Wiki.
I'm sorry, that's a bit of a cheat,
but Scrubs Wiki, of course,
points out how those segments are by no means 15 seconds.
Let's find out.
Correct.
It was not.
I think one of them might even be 27 or 30 seconds.
But we just slowed down the countdown so we could do whatever we want.
And that's how you cheat in television.
There you go.
Thank you, Interrupting Bill, for that.
I like that.
That was a very fun Interrupting Bill for me.
It was.
You know, I thought because he's the top showrunner in in town this
week that he might come on extra cocky uh but no he held it together he held his ego in check
i'm actually going to dinner with i'm going to dinner with him and krista tonight
so if there's anything you want me to discuss with them you know tell them i'm i'm getting
in shape i got a job that's gonna you know make me get in
shape for a little bit what are you hiding from the audience what job is this do you not want to
talk about it no we could talk about it i you know this might get cut but um well you can be
we can beep it or something i signed on to do, like, ****.
Oh!
Yeah!
Oh, Joelle's going to lose her fucking mind.
What?
That's amazing.
Congratulations.
Congratulations. What a cool booking.
Congrats.
Yeah, and so we'll see what happens with that.
I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it, but you guys can know about it.
Well, we could beep it.
We can beep the title.
We'll beep that.
So is that pushing your training into full gear?
Are we Peloton-ing the shit out of us ourselves now?
Yeah, there's some nudeness perhaps.
Oh, are we going to see your eel?
You're not going to see my eel, no.
There's no way that Casey will allow that.
Casey's like, I don't want anybody seeing your butt or your ear.
I don't want to see booty or frontal.
Now, I have a question.
Does Casey weigh in?
Casey's like, you can show chest.
You can show belly button.
So you're not allowed to do a sex scene?
You can show crease.
Are you not allowed to do a sex scene?
Well, apparently I have to simulate sex in the show.
So how can Casey limit your ability as a handsome male actor to do a sex scene?
I don't believe in that.
Because the showrunner made the mistake of saying you don't have to do the nudity part isn't necessarily important.
I think we should see your ass.
You have a nice bubble, and I think the earth needs to see it bounce.
The earth? Yeah.
Bounce. The whole earth?
Well, anyone who watches the show should
see that shit bounce.
Right, Joelle? Yes.
If you're comfortable with it,
I don't know.
Casey's not comfortable with it.
Casey's like, ain't nobody seeing your ass bounce.
Oh, I wish she would.
She's got to loosen up about that.
She probably will loosen up about it by the time we get to it.
As of right now, she's like, do you really want people to see how you fuck?
Is that what you really try?
Yeah, you do.
You want to show how good you are.
Will your eel be getting its own credit, or do you share a credit?
All right, let's talk about the show.
We share a title sequence.
It's the eel and the fish.
A shared card.
Yeah, shared card.
Shared card.
Speaking of names for cocks, that's how the show opens up.
JD's name is – his penis's name is Little Buddy.
He doesn't like that.
He wishes it was named big al
and um and this moment when i'm dancing naked in front of tar read is what i told you in the
last episode when my sock fell off and uh she was able to see my giblets in their entirety
that's unfortunate i remember thinking like i remember thinking. It might have been nice for her, but I remember thinking
like, oh no, Tara,
there's a lot of air conditioning
and I have more
to offer the world
than what you're seeing.
For fuck's sake, just stop talking about willies.
Sorry, Deb.
Just one more second, Deb.
We're getting into willie talk.
But
do you have a name for your stuff? sorry Deb just one more second Deb we're getting into Willie talk but um
do you have a name for
your stuff
my junk no I don't
I don't
I don't do you
well you've named my junk
eel
black whale
I never called it black whale
how have you yeah you did you had to do
this too for um for scrubs when that episode where you're walking in through the uh the parking lot
so you just take a tube sock and you just kind of tuck everything in and that's what that's what
fell off when i started doing that wacky dance you didn't put like you didn't try to put like
a rubber band at the base?
Well, I didn't want to cut off circulation and lose a nut.
You're not going to cut off circulation, dude.
What if they were like, the scene is, that's a cut on the scene.
Zach, your scrotum is blue.
They make these things for sex.
Oh, I didn't.
So you're not going to cut yourself off.
I didn't have anything professional
like that um color me mine what sorry you were very very very uh secure in the fact that a sock
would be able to keep little buddy covered well i i learned the the hard way no pun intended donald
that um that it did not work.
So Tara Reid, you're welcome.
You're welcome.
So color me mine,
the very, very adorable African-American man next to me is Pookie,
who was one of our main lighting electricians
on the show for almost the whole run of the show.
He was Pookie in the beginning.
Then he was like,
I don't want to be called Pookie no more.
My name's Chris.
I never got a change.
Maybe that was you being tough guys like Alpha Males.
He was always Pookie to me.
No, buddy.
He changed his name to everybody halfway through
because he was sick and tired of being called Pookie.
Well, I never heard that.
I never got the memo.
If I saw him today, I'd give him a, well, I wouldn't be able to give him a big hug,
but I'd yell Pookie.
Remember when Pookie lost all that weight too?
Yeah. By the way, Pookie may have when Pookie lost all that weight too? Yeah.
By the way, Pookie may have been in the rerun dance sequence.
Absolutely he was.
Absolutely he was.
Great guy.
Really, really great guy.
Yeah.
One of our favorites.
Yeah, and he was one of the – some of the crew members did the whole nine years with us.
And I think Pookie came and went a little bit, but he was with us almost the whole time.
Yes, he was. You almost the whole time yes he was
electrician setting up
and focusing the lights
and he made a lot of
cameos on the show
this is the beginning of seeing him
this is the beginning of seeing him
but you'll find him a lot more
there's a gag reel moment in one of the
seasons where I'm running
lines with him.
He was playing,
do you remember that?
He was playing.
We actually filmed it and it wasn't,
you guys weren't running lines.
Somebody was supposed
to be in the scene.
They were like,
all right, Pookie.
It wasn't you though.
I think it was a woman.
Was it Elliot or something?
Yeah, and they were like,
Pookie, you get up in there
and do it.
And he gets in there
and we all thought
he was going to freaking,
you know,
be like,
I can't do it, guys.
He played the shit out of it.
He played it.
He went hardcore with it, too.
The funny thing is he still had, like, all his gear on.
All the gear on.
He had, like, his walkie-talkie earpiece and all that shit,
but he just played it so straight like he was Elliot or something.
It was so fun.
It was really good, man.
It was really awesome, man.
All right, listen, I don't know if it's us.
Tara and I, or I'm feeling it's probably stunt people that fall out of that tree.
But you can totally see the mat that's hidden under a really lame piece of AstroTurf on the ground.
I love the fact that JD's ideal date with a girl to kiss for the first time was in a tree.
Yeah, he's such a nerd.
Just like the song. Just like the song.i-s-s-i-n-g
that's right yeah i uh jd is such a fucking dork it's amazing he got these uh great women because
he is so nerdy i think it's so endearing i think it's so endearing that this is how jd is i think
you don't you don't you don't think his sense no I do. I think he's nerdy and charming and people
and women
and men, depending on
what you're into, love to laugh.
And so he gets,
I'm guessing he gets chicks.
I mean, obviously he's a doctor, which is impressive,
but also because he's silly and goofy
and makes them laugh.
He reminds me of Hugh Grant in
what's that? In every Hugh Grant movie. Right, pretty reminds me of Hugh Grant in what's that? Uh,
in every Hugh Grant movie.
Right.
Pretty much.
But him and Julia Roberts,
uh,
Oh,
Notting Hill,
Notting Hill.
And how Hugh Grant's kind of like,
oopsie daisy.
Like JD says things like that.
And that's,
I don't know.
That's endearing.
I,
I,
I totally get why JD has such a great,
uh,
is a ladies man.
Um, how about that door hit I do at 328?
That was pretty damn nice.
Yeah, I wrote that down.
If I give myself a comedic stunt pat on the back,
it's a nice door hit.
And I don't think I'd done a glass door hit since the pilot.
So there you go, ladies and gentlemen.
I think that's the first time I've run into that,
what's supposed to be the very same door.
Although in the pilot, we all know we were in a different hospital.
Yeah.
And the fact that these two are so comfortable, you know, in the fact that,
the fact that JD is so comfortable in Cox's house fooling around with this
young lady is a little, that,
that was just caught me kind of off guard when he walked in and he was like,
and he's yelling at the two of you for,
you know,
cuddling and being all cutesy in the morning and stuff.
Yeah.
That caught me off guard.
Like the fact that JD feels that comfortable now that he's willing to bang
in Dr.
Cox's house is.
It's pretty funny though.
When I,
when I,
when he catches me naked and I hold up the picture of his baby in front of
my groin.
And he's like, right.
And then I turn it around and it's him.
And by the way, it's the season one promotional picture.
Like, way to go, props department.
Like, let's just grab a fucking Scrubs promo pic of him and put it in the frame.
That was funny.
Yeah.
A Waffle Time song.
He's like Do not sing
When I come in the kitchen
I'm like
Waffle time
It's waffle time
Won't you have some
Waffles of mine
I don't know if that's the melody
I
I was gonna ask you
Because at the end of it
Won't you have some
Waffles of mine
I forgot what the melody was
But
Well at the end of it
You
You sing along with him
So
Was this something
That you two made up at that moment?
No, he's like, you're talking about how comfortable he is.
JD's walking into his kitchen and like, morning, waffle time, waffle time.
Won't you have some waffles of mine?
But as actors, was this something that Bill was like, this is how the song goes?
Or was it something that John C. made up?
Or was it something that, you know what I mean?
Because-
I probably made it up.
I don't know if John C.'s the stupid, silly jingle maker-upper like I am.
Because I could have a whole career as a jingle writer, Donald.
Word?
Why aren't you doing that?
There's so much money in it.
Not really.
No, there's not.
Yeah, there is.
In that Dudley Moore movie, funny.
What was the Dudley Moore movie?
What year was that, dude?
Yeah, they were freaking killing it.
But you know who wrote Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-d you fucking can believe. Have you ever seen John Tesh at Red Rock? No, I don't know what that is.
It's him playing...
Oh, dude, it's like...
At the venue?
Yeah, wait,
that's where he did
the round ball rock thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Red Rock's is the venue
in Colorado.
Oh, Red Rock's,
I've heard of.
Yeah, beautiful out to our venue.
But Donald,
I thought you'd be impressed
that I know...
That's fucking
John Tesh's greatest hit.
You guys have seen the video where he describes coming up
with that right no but do you think he made do you think that was just a buyout or did he make
nine zillion dollars off of it what i don't know maybe could be what dan what was unique about him
coming up with it oh it's just it's just so funny because he sends himself a voicemail
where he's like hey uh listen just remember this one for later all right i'll talk to you later bye and it's just like a voicemail he plays
at red rocks for everybody i'm gonna find the video i'll send it to you oh that's funny
no but there's a lot of if you're interested in this topic. For those of you who are a little bit confused,
John Tesh was the host of Entertainment Tonight for basically most of our childhood and lives.
Him and Mary Hart.
Yeah, and this was back when there weren't all these other streaming things.
So it was like what was on.
You watched Entertainment Tonight.
And he was an entertainment journalist.
And he had this side hustle, which was probably way more lucrative than being an entertainment anchor, where he would write jingles.
And if you look up, if you Google it, he wrote a lot of fucking music and a lot of jingles
you know.
No, he was a concert pianist, dude.
Okay.
Well, I'm saying he also, in addition to that song, what is that, the NBA fucking jingle,
he wrote a lot of other ones.
It's actually only the NBA on NBC.
That's what he wrote.
All right.
Well, I wouldn't have known that.
Well, it's not the NBA song anymore.
You don't hear that song anymore.
You know what else he wrote?
You know what else he wrote?
What you trying to get into?
A day of show.
No, he did not.
What you trying to do?
No, he did not.
Do not give that man credit for writing that.
But I'll tell you what.
I could pull up on my phone in a similar way.
When Donald and I were about to do the podcast, I said, we got to have a dope theme song.
And I played to Donald something like this.
And then Donald sent something back to me riffing on it.
Someday I'll have to play you.
And that's what we sent to Charlie, who then went and made it dope.
Well, it was a genius idea.
You were like, it should be like the Jeffersons.
And I was like, oh, shit.
But we turned it into like,
and I know we're just reminiscing.
We turned it into a freaking fire bop.
It's a bop.
It's a bop.
It's a bop.
All right, we have a fan
and we're going to go to break.
We will be right back after these words.

So we have like Cosmo, Esquire, Men's Health.
I know you guys are always talking about Men's Health.
Yeah.
Donald and I want to get on the cover

if you could put in a recommendation for us.
I will hook it up.
I will do what I can.
My life goal is to one day

Come on, guys.
Oh, dude.
Right?

back i'm sorry can you yeah he's lost the ability to speak which is so which is so hard for him i
really fucked him up i'm sorry i'm sorry he's in pain it's fine i'm sorry by the way
do you have a question amanda yeah by the way i digress for a moment um when we uh last week
talked about virtual uh having sex uh via vr with each other everyone and their cousin weighed in
that there is of course a black mirror episode this. So thank you for reminding us. If you don't watch Black Mirror, watch Black Mirror.
But there's a very, very fascinating slash bizarrely hilarious, interesting commentary on sexuality episode of Black Mirror, including VR sex between two hetero friends.
So there you go.
Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, do you have a question for us to cheer Donald up, the sexiest man alive in my eyes?
You can't.
No, no, no.
Amanda, I am not the sexiest man alive, according to Zach.
If I put out a magazine.
My best friend said to me, oh, no, you're never going to get that.
Those were his exact words
I'm just gonna put it out there
Oh no you're never gonna get that
I my heart is
Oh man I feel bad
You could it's just usually like a
Timothy Shillamayor
Shut the fuck up
When I look at him
When I look at him
You hurt me so bad You hurt me so bad I look at them when I look at them.
You hurt me so bad.
You hurt me so bad.
Shall I bring you together with a question?
Yes, please.
Chase is subject, Amanda.
This is horrible.
All right.
Well, I hope this brings up good memories, not bad memories.
But one of my questions was, so what is the worst trouble the two of you have gotten into together, whether it was onset of scrubs or not onset of scrubs?
How are you going to ask me this question? I can't answer this question. I can't answer this
question. We got into a lot of trouble that we've gotten into we can't even talk about.
There were times where- Speak carefully.
We can't even talk about.
There were times where.
Speak carefully.
I'm trying my hardest to right now.
There were times where I was like, I can't believe that shit happened.
Right.
We got into a lot of wacky. I can't believe we put ourselves into that situation and that shit happened.
Yeah.
You don't want to give a lot of money and a lot of fame to two guys in their mid-20s.
No.
And expect that they're not going to give you some man.
You don't want to do it to anyone in their mid-20s.
Not two guys.
To anyone in their mid-20s.
Too much money at a young age is not a good thing.
We had some adventures.
And that's all we'll say as donald
pours another glass of wine for himself at two in the afternoon um amanda we'll give you another
question because that one we can't really fully answer okay fine that's fair so um i was actually
gonna ask so zach i'm like obsessed with garden state thank you like high school me would probably
literally pass away if she knew this was happening right now.
Oh my God.
And so I also was like,
I'm nerdy where I listen to the commentary.
And I'm pretty sure I remember you saying something
about a bunch of PAs.
You had to have them drive really slow on the 405
to create traffic.
Yeah.
Is that true?
Yeah.
So I work in production also,
and I'm constantly asking our PAs to do crazy shit.
Yeah.
I've had to do crazy shit.
So I'm wondering what is your guys' what's the craziest thing you guys have
had to do early on in your career?
Oh,
wow.
Gosh.
Good questions.
Those are good questions.
Yeah.
PAing.
I had to do a lot.
There's a lot of stuff as a PA that was just stupid and dangerous.
They would have us go lock up when you're,
when you're a production assistant, they say, but go lock up. When you're a precious, they say,
go lock up that street,
meaning don't let anyone come down it.
And it would be like in a really dangerous neighborhood
at night.
And I'd be like the little nerdy kid,
like being like, excuse me, everyone,
you're not allowed to come down the street.
If you'll be like, fuck you.
And I'd be like, guys, guys, we're making a video.
And there were a few times, there were many, many times in Manhattan at night where I really almost got my ass kicked begging people to not walk down a street because we were making some Mariah Carey video or something.
You were probably a really good fucking PA then.
I was a good PA because the rest of the PAs were getting high in the fucking cube truck
and like not doing, and they, I was so into it.
I wanted to be a director so badly.
I wanted to be a filmmaker so badly.
So they come over the walkie and be like, we need PAs doing this.
And like, no one would reply.
So I'd be like, I'm on it.
And I'd run over there and do it.
And then they'd be like, okay, now we need a PA to be doing this.
And I'd be like, no answer.
Cause they're all just fucking getting high. And I be like i'll do that too and like so i was
just running all over the place i was i was like i wanted to be like the best pa in the history of
pas oh my god what about you donald did you have any odd crazy jobs someone made you do no because
you kind of got it you were working early no you never had a real job no i did have a real job actually it's an interesting story
um so after i had i had a little bit of success early on in my career like i did a bunch of
commercials and stuff like that and because of that i you know as a young actor in new york city
i would always go to my agent's office and hang out. And so I got
to know my agents and made my face very recognizable so that if anything came through, they would be
like, yo, we're going to send Donald out on this. I made myself so available there that they needed
somebody to work at the front desk. And I was like, yo, you know what? I'll take the job.
to work at the front desk.
And I was like, yo, you know what?
I'll take the job.
I'll take the job.
I'll do that.
And they were like, okay, bet.
And so I learned what it was like to be an agent.
I sat, I, you know, looked at breakdowns.
I, you know, the agents would, you know,
write down the actors or artists who they wanted to go out for these parts.
And I would, you know, have to type it all up and write the letter and send it out to
all of the casting directors for the submissions, right?
I didn't get good at it, but this was a great way for me to submit myself on things that
I really wanted to be in.
If it came through and my name wasn't on it, I would secretly type my name into that shit
and be like, Donald Faison.
And I'd put my headshot in and send it out for submissions.
I didn't get clueless.
And I got to go out of town for a really long time.
But I want to keep the job because, you know, as an actor, you're like, I got to, you got
to make, I'm making money and I'm getting a paycheck.
So I'm able to buy the shit I want.
And I asked my mom and I'm like, mom, will you take over for me?
Will you work the desk for me?
And she was like, yeah, absolutely.
No problem.
And so while I'm away doing Clueless, she works this job for me.
And when I come back, I'm like, okay, mom, I want my job back.
And the agents at my agency were like, no, you know what, Donald?
That's no longer your job we
want to give it to your mom and i was like what and they were like yeah we're gonna we're gonna
give it to your mom and your mom is gonna work as the front desk so my mom was already working
in theater and she was like a director at the national black theater in harlem and she'd you
know she'd worked with a bunch of actors in the community
and everything like that.
And so she had her finger on the pulse when it came to young African-American
or old African-American actors in New York City.
And as time went on, working at the front desk,
she then moved on to become an agent.
A very an agent. And, you know.
A very successful agent.
Well, she tapped into the community that she, you know, knew very well and now has so many people working on Broadway.
She's broke.
So Laz Lonzo, she broke him.
Like, you know.
To this day, when I run into, there's so many times I run into
African-American actors in New York and their way into me is like, yo, yo, Shirley Faison's my agent.
Like, they know that that's the way to start talking because of Donald.
It gets bigger than that, though.
And then it turns into my mom is now, you know, working with all of these, like, they're Lea Michele, Kristen Bell.
So she blew up. The funny thing, your mom took your desk job and then it's like working girls. All of these, like they're, Lea Michele, Kristen Bell, like the...
So she blew up.
The funny thing, your mom took your desk job
and then it's like working girls.
She all of a sudden became like a super powerful agent.
Within a few years, this happened.
And it was all because of this odd job that I wanted.
Like this wasn't a,
I don't know that many actors
that work at their agent's office.
That just doesn't sound right.
I never knew that trivia about you.
See, even I am learning Donald Faison trivia on this very podcast.

So fuck you, man.
You ain't know no trivia about me.
You don't care about me.
You don't even think I'm sexy.
You know, you may have had a shot at that
if your wife would allow you to have your ass
bopping up and down on that fucking show.
Women and gay men really like to see a man's ass bounce in a sex scene on tv right joelle
amanda do you want to weigh in honestly sex scenes i don't know what is wrong with me they make me so
uncomfortable i know i agree because you know how the sausage is made
you've seen you've seen how this is exactly what i'm talking about do you remember it makes you
uncomfortable no it makes you uncomfortable zach but you are thrusting you're throwing me into the
fucking fire no i want to say something i want to see your ass i want to see your ass if i had
if i had if i had your ass I would write sex scenes into my own movies
And just bounce my shit
No but listen do you guys remember when we were growing up
And then for some reason
The character's ass is bouncing
When we were growing up every fucking movie
It was like and now it's time for the sex scene
It was like incorporated into the movie
You know
I was 11 watching Garden State with that.
No sex scene.
We cut around it.
We cut around it.
The people scene.
Oh, that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry.
I remember being like.
But that was meant to be outrageous.
But like the Natalie scene, we weren't about to do like a fucking sex scene.
We start making out and then you cut to us cuddling.
But do you remember?
It was like you couldn't have a movie back in the day
where it was like the music would start
and they'd be shooting through like the foggy lens
and you'd like, oh my God, it's time.
And people liked it.
It was like a turnout.
I guess it was like, oh, this,
maybe it was like people are on a date
and this is gonna get them riled up to go home and hook up.
But now, yes, now in movies,
I think it's pretty odd, odd right to see like a real
sex scene unless there's a unless there's a genuine reason for it when it cuts like you
just want to like okay they start making out and then cut to later we don't need to see them
fucking fuck unless of course they have donald's ass what do you guys think on this topic yeah i find sex scenes uncomfortable now uh in movie
theaters mainly because i i you know i movies that were acceptable to us when we were younger
i can't show my kids now and so movies that come on and all of a sudden something that's very sexual
and i like the fact i'm sorry but i like the fact that my kids have no idea what
sexual what sexuality
is what you know what you know
I love that fact about
them right now and they don't need to
learn about that and I don't want to taint
that I don't want them to have to
see that until
they're ready
and I don't me personally I don't think
a seven year old and a five-year-old
i'm just talking about like that changing this i'm not talking about like that joelle what do
you write your thoughts on this you're a pop culture expert yeah i think as sex scenes are
good if they are improving the story if they're telling story i don't like when it's like and now
like two hot people smashing bodies it's weird but like normal people the series on hulu like those sex
scenes like show how the characters evolve through time and over their relationship and they're like
essential to the storytelling and so i feel like yes and also like what you're gonna add me you
guys are actual actors but i always feel like it's weird to ask actors to to perform them if it's not
pertinent to the story like what who is this for what's happening i just i disagree with you guys
i think sexy i think sex scenes make me
uncomfortable but i but i think they're i think everybody loved game of thrones and that had some
ridiculous you know sex scenes in it that had nothing to do with pushing the story forward
you know and so in the beginning they did then they started becoming like weird i thought and
also also to that point amelia clark decided she was not doing any more nude scenes after the
reactions to all that stuff.
So I think,
you know,
there was a bit of a gratuitous nature to it that kind of soured what
maybe the.
Even George RR Martin was upset with the way some of them,
and he's like,
this is not how they were written in the book or why they were there.
Well,
she did,
but that didn't stop them from having them in the show.
And it was,
it was,
it was very prominent in the show
and we all watched and loved that show so we can't really say i'm not saying that nudity is bad
donald i'm just saying to the last episode i'm just saying i'm saying the last season i'm just
saying in the 80s and 90s in a lot of r-rated movies it was like if you i felt like people
thought it was mandatory you went to an r-rated movie You went on your date. Where's our sex scene?
I don't know, man.
Some of my favorite movies didn't have sex scenes in them, like The Breakfast Club or –
I'm talking about like –
We could go through all the John Hughes movies.
These are big-ass movies for that time though.
You know what I mean?
You're picking the wrong genre.
I'm talking about R-rated sort of thriller movies.
At the time those movies were out out though we were like you're old enough to not every movie has a sex scene like
annie for example no sex scenes in annie miss hannigan never rides you just they cut it
that would have been the best musical number ever that would have been the best musical number ever. That would have been the best musical number ever.
It's Hard Knock Life for a... No, no, no, no, no, no.
Wisdom One.
Wisdom One.
Amanda, I'm sorry you had to see that.
All right, Amanda, it's time for everyone's favorite segment.
Donald, stop laughing.
But I think I've won you back.
Ready?
It's time to...
Fix your life!
All right, how can we help our favorite jersey girl um all right well so this is not just fixing my life it's gonna fix basically all of my friends
lives also on it ready so i i mean i just turned 27 it's quarantine i'm like newly single all these
different things i think i'm in the throes of a quarter life crisis.
How does one get through a quarter life crisis?
You got to go through it, but there's work you can do. There are books and podcasts and seminars,
and one can take action. That's what I think. I think I've, when I was going
through a lot of that stuff, I did a lot of work on myself. Some of it was as simple as a therapist,
um, um, just to get myself talking. But I, I would ask for self-help book, uh, recommendations.
I took workshops. I, you know, there's all that now there's Ted talks. I mean, there's,
you can't just sit back and like my attitude about life when you know, there's a, now there's Ted talks. I mean, there's, you can't just sit
back and like my attitude about life when you're in a crisis mode, if even if it's mild or real
crisis, like in this episode, there's a suicidal story is that you have to be proactive. You have,
you, you, you can't just sit and wait for it to fix itself. You have to um to take steps to to to do the work i mean i
have fired so many therapists just because i always pick fights with them because that's the
kind of person that i am but my brother just told me to read this book uh the art of not giving a
fuck or something but i don't know subtle art of not yeah yeah you guys have any books that you
recommend i'm not a strong reader.
So, you know,
Donald only reads the back of the star Wars video game box.
And then also in star Wars comics.
Are also in terms of dating, which always cheers people up.
Are you, are you actively trying, are you on the apps?
Are you trying to meet somebody new?
Yeah, I'm on the apps. The apps just like, I don't know if it's just my area or what produced like a certain quality pros you got a
lot of bros there you maybe have to go to manhattan you know and i changed my location in manhattan i
don't know if it's like i'm not playing the app game right or what but i either the people i either
don't get any action on the apps or the action I get is like, and literally forgive me, but like the first message is sit on my face.
And I'm like, you are not somebody I want to date.
Okay.
That's funny that that's someone's pickup line.
Sit on my face.
I've gotten that three times in quarantine.
Wow.
I'm so sorry.
Wow.
These apps, man.
Joelle, don't worry.
We're going to find you a good one.
Not whatever one she's on.
Okay, good.
I look forward to it. We're trying to set Joelle up no one's gonna say sit on my face to you joelle
we're gonna protect you thank you thank you very much um well at least not on the first freaking dm
that's very weird it's so high first then ask right at least be like hi my name is roger
sit on my face at least that right do you mind mind if I give Amanda some advice on this quarter life crisis situation?
Yes, please.
You're way smarter on this than anybody.
You're probably, yeah, you're the one to go to for this.
I recently, having come out of my quarter life crisis, I was at, you said you're 25?
27.
27.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So you're getting toward the end of the craziness, right?
And the best advice I got at that age was like,
28 and 29 are going to be so hard,
but all the work that you're doing,
all the stuff you're pushing through,
all the things you're discovering about yourself,
all the people you're dating and rejecting
or trying to accept,
all the friendships that will either fall apart
or strengthen during this time,
like all of that will solidify by 30.
And then it's like I've learned all of the lessons, right?
The very challenging part of your late 20s is over.
And like by the time you hit 30, it's like, oh, I get why I had to go through all of that.
So it sucks when you're in it.
But like, don't panic.
It's how it's supposed to be.
The struggle is fortifying you for all of the great things that are about to happen.
Right.
And you're like very solid in your career.
It sounds like it sounds like you've developed a strong voice.
You clearly seem to know yourself pretty well.
So, you know, give yourself some time.
Maybe find a therapist that knows how to fight you back.
My therapist constantly looks at me and goes, you know, is that real?
What you're telling me? Oh, maybe not. She's like, right. So, you know, let's steer this direction.
Also, what I remember writing about Garden State was that I felt like my teen years were my body's
puberty and my 20 years were my mind's puberty. Yes. Because there's so much happening. You're figuring out who you are,
who you want to be, what kind of relationship you truly want, what kind of job you want,
where you want to live. Like all of this is happening and it's changing all the time.
Just like when you're going through puberty changes and you're like, what the fuck is this
new feeling? That's happening in your mind. So I would would a big thing i would say to you is don't
make it wrong like this is normal i think people start having panic attacks when they go what's
wrong with me it's like you i mean as you know i made a fucking movie about it like this is
this is uh very very very normal um everything that's happening to you and and so many people
are going through what you're going through i can't sound like the downer of it, but I think everybody's in crisis always.
You know what I mean?
I think life is so exhausting as it is that we're always like, when this is over, you're
going to find something else to fixate on and focus on.
And that'll be your next dilemma.
focus on and and and that'll be your next dilemma but for the most part you have to go through it and know that this is a journey and know that you're doing this everything that you're doing
now is setting up what comes later and i think yeah you know i don't recall my 20s being a crisis
and maybe because i numbed it by going out and partying and, and, uh, experiencing, you know,
being in a pandemic doesn't necessarily help where we're at.
You know what I mean? That kind of extra hard too.
You're going through these feelings and, and,
and the dating conundrum during this pandemic,
which is just so extra hard. And, and, uh, I really, really feel for you.
I don't understand people who date on the apps
in the middle of COVID.
I'm like, you're gonna get it.
You know what I mean?
It's like Russian roulette.
I know, especially if you're sitting on people's faces.
All right, I don't know if we've fixed your life,
but we at least are here to cheer you on
and say we care about you and you're not alone.
And I'm a big proponent of therapy. We promote a couple of
the different apps on here that I have not just bullshit because we promote them. I have friends
that use them and really have gotten great results from them. Good thing about them is if you don't
like the person on the first try, you can just keep changing until you find somebody you like.
And I think people have gotten good results of that. I know a lot about therapy
because I have two parents that are psychologists.
So I've gotten a lot of success
out of a type of therapy
called someone who's a cognitive behaviorist
because I've done enough talking about my past.
I've done enough like,
oh, I was sad when they made fun of me.
And at this point,
a cognitive behaviorist is a little more like,
let's talk about the plan.
It's a little more like a coach being like,
here's the plan for this week. You don't want the X to happen,
then we're going to do Y. You want to be more like this, then we're going to do this.
So if that type of therapist has been very helpful to me in my life, you might seek someone like that out. The life coach. Yeah. And because some people like to lie on a couch and talk about
the pain they've experienced and that works and it's helpful.
And some people need to do that.
I'm not minimizing it.
I've done plenty of it.
I'm just saying at this point in my life, and again, I'm, I'm much older than you, but
I, I've gotten a lot of help out of someone who's like, okay, I hear what you're feeling.
I hear where you want to get to.
I hear that you're stressed about this or this.
Here's the plan for this week.
That's going to be put in place by us as a team to make you get there. And that could be finding a partner, that could be finding a job,
that could be whatever you fucking want it to be. I would also just like to add one thing to what
Zach is saying, is that when you're doing your Googles for this kind of thing, make sure that
you search both words like life coach, but also specifically cognitive behavioral therapy.
Because they're different things that have similar goals and
you just might get people who are life coaches who are going to help you work through stuff.
But I really back up what Zach is saying when you can have someone who's professional with
experience give you like A, B, C, and that's really going to come from a cognitive behavioral
therapist. And I always feel, because I know I'm going to talk to him once a week, that it's like
I have to have my homework done. I want to impress him. So I'm always like, oh, I'm going to do that shit. I promised
him I would do because I, I made a commitment. Anyway, I'm rambling. I think we can say you're
welcome, right? Donald, can we say you're welcome? I mean, I mean, maybe half you're welcome.
No, we could say you're welcome. We've set her on a path. We've given her, we've set her on a path we've given her we've given her some tools that she can use to
better herself uh and take this journey that she's on into a positive direction and not fall into the
abyss that is depression the most powerful thing you need to know is that you are not alone you
are not alone everybody deals with this shit i think some people spiral out because they go what's
wrong with me no what's wrong with you is that you're a human being and everybody deals with this and all these people
you see on tv and the reality shows living these fucking bullshit lives it's all bullshit they deal
with it too and uh you are not alone everybody goes through it okay that's right no one's no
one's truly happy yeah well no some people but I, but, but everybody has their demons.
They battle. Everybody has their, their, their sources of pain. And, uh, and I think it's very
important for you to know that you're not alone. All right, Amanda, my favorite Jersey girl.

grievance this is a new segment that i um i call grievance oh you guys have had
brandon fraser tara reed either locklear shay serrano you have so many interesting guests
on the show and you know what you haven't had?
Is one writer of the show.
They listen to it.
They know.
And so here's the tough grievance moment for you guys.
What follows is three single sentences from three different writers that were on this show for a multiple
of years.
There will probably be a clue in their sentence, but unless you can identify these three writers
by the sentence clue, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull the plug on our podcast.
On our podcast.
Get ready.
Get your thinking caps off.
Wait, so you guys ready?
Wait, wait.
I have a question, Daniel. These are
sentences that Bill's going to say that we should know who the, oh, the writers themselves. The
writers themselves have submitted three sentences. Of course, you're going to know all three sentences
are going to play out. There's a tiny space between each one. And then the answer is a
separate file, but we'll let everybody answer. You might want to write down your answers because
they're going to play them in an order. Everybody ready? There's a small bit of silence
in between each one. Okay.
I have a lot of kids.

And we have barely talked about the fucking show.
We got to speed through it now.
Okay.
Who should we have on? Who do you think would be the best
guest of those three?
I mean, they'd all be good, don't get me wrong,
but who should we choose first?
I honestly believe that we should
break them off into little groups.
You know what I mean? Well, Gabby, by the way,
Gabby, in terms of coming
up next,
Gabby is the first.
I'm looking at the schedule.
For some reason, wrote the next two.
That's impossible.

Let's reach out and see if she wants to do it.
Okay, Joelle, will you get – I don't have – I may not have her email anymore.

comedy writer in hollywood who wouldn't love to hear about that absolutely um all right can we
talk about this fucking show scrubs donald why why do you have to put that type of handle on it
oh what what about why is that guy sitting next to the dartboard in a bar that guy is the worst
seat in the world he's literally sitting next to a dartboard as Sarah and Judy try and throw darts.

Yes.
I had a feeling it was for comedy.
I think it's for comedy.

everyone of course says i look like dac shepherd like they do no matter what i fucking do and
because and because i put a wig and because i put a wig on and I look like Bruno Mars,
I had a possibility at that time to be one of America's most sexiest men
or people's most sexiest men, you know what I mean,
which was really interesting.
And then Dax went on to make the Chips movie,
which I was happy for him because he's an awesome guy, but you know, you and I would have been a great Ponch and
John.
I can't play a Ponch, man.
No, you don't have to be a Hispanic Ponch.
You could be African-American Zonch.
I think, I think we're doing a disservice to all of the Latino.
We don't have to do the exact thing.
We could do California highway patrol on motorcycle.
Anyway,
we can't do it anyway.
Dax did it.
All right.
One of my favorite lines in the show,
sweet dancing,
Jehovah.
I punctured my brain.
Yeah.
That was funny.
I laughed at that one.
That was funny.
Kelso deaf and everyone,
every time he walks by just saying all that shit to him.
Yes.
And then, and then, and then ted missing the missing the bus and coming in a little too late after kelso's ears
funny when he says giving him the business he goes there you are you deaf bastard he he was like
it's like no one had told ted until it was too late and he finally he he finally, he had it all stored up ready to go. That was fucking funny.
Dude, like
over time, you kind of gotta
feel sorry for Ted, man.
Like, oh my gosh. Of course you do.
Dude, it's like, first of all, his boss
is a jerk to him. And then
second of all, he never seems to
catch a break. No, nothing
ever works out for him.
Ever. Nothing ever works out for him.
What about Wackanooby at the carnival?
Wackanooby, Wackanooby.
Yeah, yeah.
What about the fact that JD can't use the giant mallet
to ring the bell at the carnival also?
Yeah, I can, by the way.
But you know what is true about me?
One thing that is true about me, and you can call me a nerd or a dork or a – what other synonyms are there, guys?
A geek?
A geek.
You haven't said one bad word yet.
I do get nauseous on rides.
Oh.
I really do.
First of all, I cannot fuck with like a teacup situation.
Like your whole life?
Your whole life?
Yeah, I don't like them.
I will go on a fast roller coaster that's straight and fast and takes big curves.
I'm fine with that.
But I cannot do anything spinning.
I don't like the fucking thing that drops the Haunted Mansion.
I've done that.
It makes me want to puke.
Oh my gosh.
That's my favorite ride at high.
The cheap rides, the cheap thing that spins and the floor drops out.
Yeah.
No.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
You know what?
As I've gotten older, there's certain things that I can't do anymore.
Like I used to be able to get on roller coasters and all of that stuff.
No problem.
And get on them over and over again.
My 40th birthday, we went to Disneyland.
And I remember this very well because Disney sponsored the trip
and they hooked it up to where we had a guide and everything.
They hooked it up for a person who's worked for Disney for a really long time.
And we were able to get on the California Scream like five times.
Nice.
In a row.
That's the one that does the loop.
Does the loop.
Do you want to go again?
Yeah.
Do you want to go again?
Yeah, we want to go again.
And we did it again.
Do you want to go again?
Yeah, we want to go again.
And we did it again.
Do you want to go again?
I don't know.
Yeah, we want to.
This is the thing that I like to do for my birthday.
I like to invite all of my friends and their kids and let the kids have fun because I like to have like I'm a Disneyland type of birthday.
Like I'm a 46-year-old man who likes to go to Disneyland.
Okay.
So anyway, my nephews, my nieces,
my freaking, you know,
a bunch of youth is with us.
You want to go again? Yeah, we
want to go again to kids. I'm like, oh no,
I don't think I can do it. For the rest of
the day, you know when you get that
nauseous, that's like,
when you make this sound.
I never had that.
Okay, it's the sound.
It's you're trying to freaking relax your mouth.
You know how you get water?
I did not puke, but for the rest of the day,
I had to go.
For the rest of the day, I was going like this, though.
I went to the-
Trying to get my tongue to get that nauseous.
I went, and everyone was like, we're going again.
I was like, I'm not.
And I was like the parent
that waited by the exit for everybody.
That's, yeah.
It ruined the,
not my birthday,
but it ruined the fact that I was like,
I don't know if I'll ever get on roller coasters again.
And so since then,
I can only do roller coasters one time.
And when I get off,
I always feel that little bit of nausea. Oh, that's for good night I mean what the hell was that I must have made
that up I don't know what the hell was going on there how about the janitor getting a freaking
new job because Kelso's deaf and he turned it into like a radio show where he's freaking dissing
people by the way speaking of being dorky I was the guy in high school who did the announcements. Really?
Cool.
Yes.
And I remember thinking, I mean, you know, with a group.
For all four years?
All four years?
All four years?
There was a team.
No.
Okay.
There was a team.
You know, you had your sports team.
Well, I had my announcements team.
I didn't play on any sports team in high school.
No, I'm making a joke saying like, you know, as though it was a team and we
had like practice where we'd be like,
mommy made me match my M&M's, the lips, the tippity,
and the tongue. Yeah, I would do
the announcements and I remember thinking I was really cool
doing the announcements.
It's powerful. Did you play like
a xylophone where you're like,
doo, doo, doo, doo?
No.
I remember, I think we had to do the Pledge of Allegiance.
And it was written down, so you didn't fuck it up.
Little mistake, I think it's 1613.
In Nicole Sullivan's room, the last time we're meeting with her,
there's no door on the hinges.
If you're someone who likes fuck-ups in movies,
for some reason, the grips must have taken off the hospital room door but you can just see the hinges sitting there there's
no door on the room that's interesting you know if you if you if you caught that you're not watching
the show but anyway i like to i like to look in the both the background and the foreground while
i'm doing this podcast donald because i want to deliver while doing the while and the foreground while I'm doing this podcast, Donald, because I want to deliver to the people. While doing the podcast, absolutely.
If you're listening to this
and you're wanting to catch fuck-ups and stuff,
yeah, we're going to try and catch that too.
But watching movies and watching TV shows now
and not being able to get into it
because I'm noticing what's going on in the background
or noticing what's going on
because of mess-ups and stuff like that,
I try not to do that now.
I try to enjoy a movie as much as I can.
I imagine it's got to be very difficult for you, Zach, being a director.
I always look at stuff in the background, and sometimes it hurts my experience.
But that is the price I pay, Donald, for being a movie maker.
One of the last lines we say is,
you can never underestimate the importance of listening.
And I think that's a very simple but very smart sentence that so much miscommunication comes from
no one really truly listening to each other. It's hard to listen. That's one of the hardest
things to do. It's a simple thing to do, but it's actually hard to shut your brain
off and listen to somebody else's stuff.
Yeah, because our brains are going, oh, what's the thing I'm going to say next?
Oh, he just reminded me of a story that now I'm going to tell.
Oh, what's for dinner?
And I strive to be someone that can be truly looking at you and listening when you talk
to me.
That's one of my hardest things to do.
And I've told stories about this
before you know meeting my idols like george lucas and stuff and not being able to listen
because i was so geeked it's a it's a it's a really good thing if you can listen to someone
and hear there's because there are so many times in my life where if i would have listened
maybe the outcome of somebody else's life would have been better.
But because I was caught up in my own shit and didn't listen, things were different.
I'm sure everybody feels that.
But this is something that I think we all take for granted, the ability to listen.
Yes.
So listen to each other and listen to us as we end this show and beg you to vote.
I am literally going to get down on my knees and ask you.
I will.
This is real.
This is actually happening.
Wow, he's doing it.
He's on his knees.
I'm down on my knees.
He's clasped his hands together
as if praying to a deity.
I've never asked you, listener,
for anything.
Please vote.
Today is the day.
Go make it happen.
Even if you've got to wait in line,
bring some snacks,
bring a lawn chair,
bring a podcast.
If you've listened to all of this one,
try another one.
Yes.
I just figured out how my,
I've been wondering how my dog gets in and out of the vegetable garden. And I just caught that little bitch and I can call her a bitch because it's a
female dog.
I just caught how that little bitch is getting into my vegetable garden.
I just saw her sneak out one of the fucking gate.
Okay.
Problem solved.
You guys go vote.
We love you.
