Donald, look at this.
I'm on a health kick now because I fucking need to be.
And look who's back.
Look who's back.
Hey, giant water bottle.
I just started that.
The giant water bottle is back, everyone.
And I do have to give a shout out to Liquid IV.
They're our sponsor, but I don't need to mention it.
I'm not required to mention it while we're talking.
But if you put the Liquid IV packet in the drink, I swear I drink it.
I will literally drink the whole thing because it tastes good.
It tastes amazing.
And there's no calories, right?
I don't believe there's any calories.
No, it's like creating a energy drink when you do it.
You know what I mean?
When you throw the liquid IV in there, you're creating an energy drink of of hydration all i know is i'm drinking it i actually drink it when it's just water and ice
i will not drink it but i put a liquid iv packet in it and i drink i'm gonna show you something
real there you go liquid i'm gonna i'm gonna show you i'm actually oh i can't believe it
he literally just pulled up his i want to i go ahead dan it. My second water bottle. He literally just pulled up his. I want to. Go ahead, Daniel.
Pull up your giant water bottle.
Pull up your giant water bottle.
Okay, well, I have the giant water bottle right here.
Okay.
That's not giant enough.
It's not as big.
You're right.
It's not as big.
But I was playing Ultimate Frisbee on Tuesday night, and someone was talking about, God,
I have these new packets for my water.
It's so much better.
And someone was like, what's it called?
And she was like, oh, I can't remember.
And I'm listening to this conversation.
I just lean over.
Does it happen to be liquid IV? She was like, yes, that can't remember. And I'm listening to this conversation. I just lean over. Does it happen to be liquid IV?
She's like, yes, that's the one. I love it so
much. And I was like, well, use
code fake doctors.
I thought you were using it
as a pick for a second. I forgot that you had a girlfriend.
I thought you were using it as a pickup line.
Always on the job, baby.
Is it liquid IV by any chance?
By the way, ultimate, this is a side note
digression. Ultimate Frisbee was invented at my high school, Columbia High School.
Oh, that's right.
In Maplewood, New Jersey.
And one of the inventors, one of the participants was Max Weinberg,
the famous Bruce Springsteen drummer slash Conan O'Brien sidekick.
Yes, amazing.
He's still alive, right?
Max Weinberg?
I think so.
Okay.
Joelle, can you please check?
Because I somehow got hit in the head with, did Max Weinberg die?
I hope not.
But there's a little bit of ultimate Frisbee lore for those of you out there.
It was invented at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.
And Max Weinberg, the famous drummer, was apparently –
this is – the ultimate Frisbee part was definitely true of being invented there.
Max Weinberg being one of the initial guys who came up with it,
I'm not positive about that.
But that was Columbia High School lore.
Hell yeah.
You guys, I got gotta tell you the most
oh he's he's 71 so he's alive and well good thank you i saw two trailers for a good person which was
i was so nervous that's great you saw okay it wasn't like a surprise out of nowhere where you're
sitting down and it's like oh shit the commercial's on It was like you knew that you were going to see.
That's not how a studio rolls down.
Okay, I'm just checking, just checking.
The way it works, for those of you who couldn't possibly know,
because you have to be directed a studio movie to know,
when you direct a movie, you're not in charge of the marketing campaign.
You can weigh in heavily and passionately,
but their marketing team is going to be, you know, going to sell the product they bought, you know?
So if you have a cool studio, they really want your input.
They really want your suggestion.
They don't want to do anything that's going to piss you off.
But they also were like, you know, they're going to make a trailer and then like test the trailer to see like how people react.
They're going to do like focus groups and like, what did you feel after the trailer?
You know, they're going to do all that kind of stuff.
So the good news is they showed me beforehand,
like just like any position in filmmaking,
they show you like people's credits.
So they'll show you like, oh, here are the trailers,
this guy's cuck and like they're sick, you know?
And like here, this gal, we're going to gonna also have they don't just go to one person they'll they'll like go out to
multiple people and they say we've narrowed it down and what do you think of these people and
i'm like oh my god those are like mega movies those are those trailers were sick yeah yeah
those are great so anyway and then eventually they send – like they work on it on their own over at MGM.
And then eventually after – like the ones I looked at, one said version 9, one said version 5.
They really like get it to a point where they're ready to show you.
And I was so nervous because a good person – like a lot of the stuff I do is a mix of comedy and drama.
And I kept thinking like,
how do you sell this movie in two and a half minutes?
Because it's,
it's,
it's tricky.
And I was so nervous and they were great.
They were really good.
I'm going to send them.
I'll send,
I'll send them to all three of you and you guys can weigh in.
I want to see,
I have questions.
I'm seriously glad to see it.
I've read the script.
I've got images in my mind.
Now I get to actually see them.
And hey, everybody.
What kind of music did they use?
I probably shouldn't say that yet.
We have an official release date, but I won't say it yet.
Just yet.
What, Donald?
There's no music to the?
They used music from the movie because I'm not going to brag, but I'm good at that.
And they did not need to seek outside of the film.
How are you?
I miss you.
I love you.
I don't see enough of you.
I tested positive for COVID yesterday.
Everybody's getting COVID.
By the way, I saw on the news that hospitalizations are up.
Like, LA again is on fucking fire.
Yeah. Again. and I saw on the news that like hospitalizations are up like LA again is on fucking fire yeah again my daughter had it and then now I'm pretty sure I have it I tested positive but they're sending
another tech over at 11 30 so I'm gonna test again oh man but I mean I have no symptoms
whatsoever but my daughter had it and then I tested positive i know so many people donald our friends uh whose names
i won't shout out um are like i have it again i have it again like one person we know has it for
the fourth time now she's she's she's vaxxed and and boosted and has no symptoms but like
has it so that's to remind you uh people there that you can still get it, obviously, when you're vaccinated, boosted.
But you're going to get, you know, odds are you'll have the sniffles and odds are you're not going to the hospital.
But, you know, here's the thing.
I was playing tennis the other day.
Did you even feel it?
And out of nowhere, I was like, damn, I don't feel so great right now.
Like, I feel kind of off.
But I got to finish this game.
I'm playing against some really good competitors.
And I don't want to let my teammate down.
We're playing doubles.
And halfway through the game, it goes away.
And I'm like, OK, so maybe I'm just dehydrated.
And that's it.
I get home.
I take this nap that lasts, you know, a couple of hours.
My now granted, my daughter has this shit too.
Right.
It has it at this point.
And so I take a nap.
I, uh, I wake up from the nap and Casey's like, are you sick?
I'm like, I don't think so.
I get tested the next day which is yesterday
covid positive shit
but other than that no symptoms i can smell i can thank god you have no symptoms and uh
and maybe it'll last only a few days well my wife had when my wife had it she had it it lasted a while but she was sick
before she tested positive my son was sick before he tested positive my daughter tested positive
like she had a fever all of a sudden and then she well in your family it's just gonna keep going
around if you're all sitting around the same house i mean with children you can't really uh
separate you know and i know a girl who has it for the fourth
fucking time and she's she can like you know separate from her boyfriend it's you know with
with kids this is gonna circle around the fucking house yeah i'm hoping it doesn't i'm because it
you know the last time it was in this house only two people got it this time it's the other two that got it it's me and my my daughter we got
it and so i'm sorry man it sucks man it really does man and it's you know these guys are scrambling
to try and fix this whole problem over at history of the world and i mean it'd be great if it was a
false positive uh but i mean the odds of it being a false positive with me being in a house with someone with COVID
are very slim.
Yeah.
Well, I love you,
and I send you positive strength and energy
and a big hug.
Imagine I'm in like a bubble boy suit.
And you're hugging me through your bubble boy suit?
I'm hugging you through my bubble boy suit.
We could do it through the camera. All you do is touch the we could do like you know touch
the camera like in prison when the people want to touch each other yeah glass through the glass
touch the camera all right i'm doing it i'm doing it i'm doing it like in every like in every prison
movie let's put our hands so precious do you think people really do people really must do that i've
never been to visit anyone prison but i wonder if i would do that i mean that's probably the only connection i that would
break me down and i'd be like don't you do that here i know but no i'm sure it's what it's
instinctively what you would do but don't you think you'd also feel like oh my god we're the
people in the movie but yeah instinctively do. And you're trying to feel somebody through the glass.
You know what I mean?
Have you ever visited anyone in prison?
No.
I've had friends go to jail and stuff like that.
But the last thing I want to do is see anybody I know locked up in jail.
No, I know.
But I think it would be interesting.
That shit is not a vision of anyone I want to see.
I have friends that are very – A vision of anyone I want to see. I have friends that are very involved in prison reform, and that's their goal and charity and cause, and have invited me to go.
They have a program where you go and visit a real fucking no fucking around prison.
And I want to do it.
I'm going to do it.
Okay, so yeah, that I have been to i have been to
prisons and no i've never been on scared straight donald you should be on you should have been on
scared straight i wasn't i wasn't a punk kid i don't i didn't need to be i was a good boy i
didn't need to be on i wasn't a punk kid i needed to be scared into a musical right they would have
had no problem scaring my ass straight.
They were like, you're not your step ball changes, fucking bullshit.
I remember one time my fucking principal, no, the vice principal, because I was late.
And I was late over and over again.
This is public school.
He felt he needed to bring me into his office
and tear me down and he did and i'm sitting there trying not to cry and shit because i don't want
anybody to know when you leave you know you leave and you still got tears in your eyes and shit
they never let you clean yourself up and shit you know and so i'm sitting there trying not to cry
and i'm he's giving it to me too And he's giving it to me, too.
Like, he's giving it to me.
Like, he's trying to get me there.
You know what I mean?
He's like a drama teacher that's sitting there,
and you can't cry in drama class.
And they're trying to get you there.
This is what the principal is trying to do to me.
The vice principal is trying to do to me in the principal's office.
And I'm like, it's not going to work.
It's not going to work. They probably have keywords they use, like disappointed.
Yeah, dude.
And then he hit me with one, and this is the only time in my life where I had the Denzel
tear.
That one tear came down.
That one tear came down.
Denzel is the master of the slow one tear.
Oh, man.
That is a talent.
Yep.
Denzel's like, right eye, left, right eye, go.
And then his brain is like, two?
He's like, just one.
I wonder if that was purposeful or if that shit was an accident and it just turned into iconic yes it turned into the
iconic iconic moment that it is i think because when you watch it i think if denzel was here and
and joelle please make it happen he'd be like all right he'd be like all right okay all right
let's get into it he would say that i mean i'm i'm yes all right i i'm sure he would say that that was
just real and one of the finest moments of his career and it happened and it happened on camera
and it's one of the most memorable moments in cinema history and and then it became like
something we we we particularly both reference because we both love him and we both love actors.
He's the, well,
I mean, when it comes to actors,
let's be honest,
he's easily top five in the world.
Oh, yeah. Easily.
Well, alive.
Alive, definitely.
On stage, you can't,
there's not a lot of people
that could fuck with him.
And then in movies,
there's not a lot of people
that could fuck with him.
And I love that he's become
a statesman now.
I mean, there was that.
He just has great, he's always been this way.
On my Instagram, because my Instagram knows I love him,
they'll bring up, the search thing brings up Denzel in an interview,
just dropping knowledge and so fucking well said.
And I love it. I watch it over and over again
yeah dude he has some of the greatest you know who else does look at some old tupac shit holy
cow dude yo pock had some freaking knowledge for everybody to to to uh absorb and never you know
back in the day because of all of the
East coast, West coast beef and the hatred, nobody really ever got to hear that shit,
but thank goodness for, this is one thing that's great about the interwebs.
Old shit can resurface. And when it's positive stuff and you find great things like what,
you know, some of the things that Pac says, some of the things that, you know, Denzel said in his
past interviews and stuff.
When you find these things, it's such a gem, man. And for that, I am happy that Twitter and Instagram exist.
Speaking of Twitter, it was announced that Warner Brothers has canceled Wonder Twins because of the mergers and acquisitions they're going through.
And I put on Twitter, I very rarely post, I'm very rarely on Twitter.
But when I heard this news, I thought it was an opportunity to let Toby Emmerich, who's the head of Warner Brothers and a very nice man.
I've worked with him.
Dude, I've worked with him too.
He is such a great guy, dude.
He oversaw going in style when he was at New Line,
and he is a mensch, as we say,
and he is the head of Warner Brothers,
and I let him know on the Twitter
that Donald and I are willing and ready
to step into the shoes of whoever had the parts.
And as you hear this,
if I could ask you a question because i tagged warner
brothers i would like our listeners if you're on the twitter a why the fuck you still on there
but if you happen to be on there the twitter please retweet it because i'm not kidding i
think that there's a play to be had where we do wonder twins and i don't think i don't
think it's just that i think there's a play to be had where we play superhero buddies i don't know
i want to be your wonder twin there's a story there's no way there's a story that's a girl
one's a girl one's a boy i know but it's 2022 um we're changing things up. You know, people are all on different scales of sexuality.
I don't see why we couldn't do it.
Okay.
That's what's up.
I mean, there's a world, right, Joelle?
Come on.
You're our pop culture goddess.
I would love to see you in that pixie cut she has.
That would look fire.
Well, they both have pixie cuts. What about the Donny Osmond cut? I would like to see Donald in a pixie cut she has. That would look fire. Well, they both have pixie cuts.
What about the Donny Osmond cut?
I would like to see Donald in a pixie cut.
Listen, I just think there's a world
where you and I are the Wonder Twins
and Toby Emmerich knows it.
Okay, so look.
And we all know it.
And I need you to go on Twitter and retweet it.
Here's the argument.
I agree.
I think you and I together as the Wonder Twins
is probably the funniest version of a DC television show.
You think the DC fans would revolt?
I don't think they would revolt.
I think it works in the DC world.
The only problem is the Wonder Twins were kids.
They were young aliens.
That's ageism.
Maybe we're, maybe, maybe That's ageism. Maybe we're maybe, maybe it's ageism.
Maybe with maybe we've aged and with the wonder twins, but it's years later after.
I don't know.
Listen, I think the odds of this being a DC feature like that's released in theaters, let's be honest, are slim.
But I don't know why, like, we we can't be on HBO Max in some version.
Come on.
Dude, I'm not going to lie, man.
I still have dreams of us playing Blue Beetle and freaking Booster Gold, man.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm just trying to work it out.
I don't want to be on the CW.
Okay.
No offense to the CW.
They fucking canceled their whole lineup.
Did you see that?
Yeah.
Everything.
Even Riverdale. Riverdale got canceled? Yeah. Everything. Even Riverdale.
Riverdale got canceled.
Everything.
Riverdale got canceled.
They called it the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones.
Well, what got canceled?
I don't know what got canceled.
I know Legends got canceled.
Pretty much all of the DCs got canceled.
Except Flash and...
No, I think everything got canceled, bro.
No, Flash had gotten picked up.
Flash had gotten picked...
I'm looking it up.
I'm looking it up.
Flash had gotten picked up already.
Flash might be picked up, but dude, they canceled like eight shows.
Flash and Superman and Lois had gotten picked up already.
Mark Pedowitz, who's the head of it, said it's like a rebuilding time.
Like on a sports team, Donald, you know it's like a rebuilding time like like on a sports team donald you know
they have a rebuilding year so what is are they saying berlanti is not a part of the cw anymore
is he not is i don't know about i don't know what berlanti's doing or if he's going to take
his deal elsewhere i have no idea i'm just saying that they they're shaking shit up over there
because i know his deals with warner brothers It's a rebuilding year. Wow. Donald.
Yeah. So Charmed Dynasty, 4400, In the Dark, Legacies, Naomi, Roswell, New Mexico, Riverdale, a lot of the Arrowverse, Batwoman, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Bam.
The Red Wedding, Donald.
Wow.
That's heavy.
That's all. That's's all berlanti isn't
it i don't know if it's all berlanti but a lot of it is but he'll be okay he'll be fine oh i'm sure
they have they're all over the place i have a feeling i have a feeling i don't know i haven't
asked him this i'm making this up but i have a feeling he's gonna make more like hbo max content that this is that's the same
company and i imagine he's gonna you know keep his cw stuff going but but but make more hbo max
kind of content i gotta take this okay so dude that was my doctor though hit me up he's like
yo take the pill what's the pill so there's a pill that's out there right now that you know cuts the viral
load down quite a bit and makes it so that you don't get uh long covet uh and they've talked
about it in the news i'm not exactly sure what it's called or anything like that um but it it
it uh it lessens the chances of long covet i should say um and so he's like i think you should take it
it's like okay okay uh he's like uh and so well listen to your medical professionals everyone
that's what we have to say here all right let's count in everybody five six seven eight
stories about a show we made about a bunch of doctors and nurses in a canada who love to hate All right, let's get into it.
Why would anyone call an old man grandpa?
Like, what the fuck, dude?
Like, how disrespectful can you be just out the gate when you introduce yourself or when you're asking for something?
We opened the show with a Frisbee.
Yeah.
And it lands in front of Kelso.
And a young man runs up to him and says, hey, grandpa, a little help?
That's very rude.
I would have choked the kid out on the first.
He gave the kid a warning.
I would have choked him out straight up right there, man.
Listen, I am 40.
And don't say old timer either.
I am 40-something years old.
I'm about to be 50 in a few years.
God willing.
Don't rush it.
Don't rush it.
God willing.
You know what I mean? Look, straight up. If you come god willing don't rush it don't rush it god willing you know what i mean
look straight up if you come i don't give the minute you turn over 18 you can catch these
hands if you come at me with some bullshit i don't give a fuck dude straight up okay straight
up there's a warning disrespect me like that don't call donald gramps you can touch the two piece
and a biscuit this was directed by uh john putch who's a great director that we all love uh written
by clarence livingston when did he join us donald's because i think i believe he joined us this season
season six black writer uh i think he might have went on to do the what's the cleveland show i think
i think he went on to do cleveland yeah oh to create it or to work on it he created it yeah
oh wow yeah that's fancy yeah or producer and writer is yeah oh well then he didn't create it
well he i know that he went from scrubs to that and and I don't know if he's still there.
They don't still do Cleveland, right?
No, that's over.
Because it was a white guy doing Cleveland's voice, right?
And you can't do that anymore.
Can I ask you a question?
What?
Was his last name really Steamer?
Probably because that's the-
His last name was Brown.
It was Cleveland Brown.
Oh, Cleveland Brown, not Cleveland Steamer. No. Was the was the show does anyone know what a cleveland steamer is yes what is a cleveland
steamer what is a cleveland it's when somebody shits on you i believe yes am i correct yes
yes that's gross i don't want to be shot on during sex. Or any time. For fuck's sake, just stop talking about your willies.
All right, listen.
Ready?
Enid is having some dementia issues, and she's packed a lunch of a stapler and a golf ball for Kelso.
I think this is now, Kelso's now starting to really love his wife a little.
Like, at this point, does he feel guilty?
Because he's talked bad about her for
six seasons and now we're starting to understand that she's really she's close to on the way out
apparently well she's she's packing a stapler for lunch she's uh definitely not all the way there
uh maggie is his friend um who he sees has a foot injury uh some sort of serious infection on her foot. And he says, we got to get
you in the hospital. And then we start this whole dance of bringing her into the hospital. And JD
explains of her voiceover that the doctors in the hospital have a whole dance they do when someone
has no insurance and they want to try and sneak them through the system.
Bizarrely, of course, this is Kelso's friend, but they're still hiding it from Kelso.
Because?
Because he's Mr. You-Gotta-Get-Insurance, and he's a rule follower about that.
But they have this whole dance they do when they find out that someone's just been deceased.
Before anyone finds out, everyone plays along, and they put the person in that person's bed so they can get their insurance.
The nurses play along.
The freaking all of the interns play along.
You just hope that they all play along.
And then you've got to find a surgeon who will do it pro bono.
You know what I mean?
You're going too fast.
So they put her in Mr. Rabinowitz's bed because he's just passed away, we learned, because he put his peep in an electrical socket.
And you just don't do that.
And J.D. goes, you can't do that.
Yeah.
You just can't do that.
And then you do have to do it pro, a doctor, a surgeon will do a pro bono.
And then Todd says what?
Todd comes in and goes, Todd comes in and says, I've had a pro bono all day.
All morning.
All morning.
Something might be wrong five.
Yeah.
By the way, Todd has one of the funniest jokes of the episode later on, which we'll get to.
Now, we go to distract Kelso. We decide to go, I we'll get to. Now, we go to distract
Kelso. We decide to go,
I'm sorry, again. Here we go again.
This is controversial, but it is
a part of Scrubs history. We go
to an Asian
massage parlor, and
Kelso gets a full
release in front of us.
Yes. Which felt
one step out of character for him,
but he really doesn't care.
Wait, hold up.
You said it felt out of character for him?
He didn't care if we watched.
Do you know how many times J.D. and Turk have run into Kelso?
Right, but he's never asked us to watch him get a hand release.
Yeah, he has.
He says it'll cost extra in one episode.
In one episode, he goes, you can come in,
but it'll cost extra.
That's the episode that you directed.
No, no, that's the one where he says you can come in,
but you have to take your shoes off.
Right, that's right.
Oh, God.
Anyway, listen, you can't not look because um i have a crick in my neck you have a crink in
your neck and you have to look no i closed my eyes at first no but then in the very last second
you open one because you want to watch that you can't help yourself this episode was all over the
place by the way yeah i mean it really it really
bounced i mean it was funny but it ping-ponged all over the place with so many different
stories i mean there was i i'm what was it four storylines in this one i don't know well one of
the main ones is that alexander chaplin who we call sandy is his nickname is back, um, as the drug addict and Cox thinks there's no way
he's holding a group for addicts. And, um, Cox says, and Elliot get in their classic battle
over whether someone, uh, can, can truly, uh, defeat that his addiction or whether they're,
whether he's a liar or not. I don think cox doesn't believe people can overcome addiction but he thinks that this character in particular whose name is sam
is a fucking liar he's a big time scam artist because and the only way he knows this is because
he got caught out there the last time uh sandy was on the show he, uh, cock Jordan explains to Elliot, uh, how, wait, no, who is it that
get Jordan gets caught out there and everybody explains how this guy's, how this guy has,
uh, done them in.
And, uh, and, uh, and he's just, he's one Cox is one of the first people that he's,
that he did it to.
And so.
He hates, he just knows he's a liar.
And no matter how many different angles.
Yeah, he's seen it over and over again.
But he's always got a new angle.
And this new angle is that he holds a group.
And so, but Elliot and Cox are a battle again.
Both of them, by the way, in the beginning of the show elliot over the broken
leg which was hilarious where they don't even not even acknowledge the fact that they
that she he trips her over a man with the broke in a wheelchair with the broken leg
the man screams ah yeah and they continue their conversation like he's that was new
norsadi by the way who was uh one of our main stuntmen and stunt coordinators.
There's so many of your favorite physical comedy jokes that Noor Saadi choreographed.
And then she does the same thing to Cox by distracting.
She distracts Cox into walking into a door.
Johnny took a nice door hit. door. Johnny took a nice door.
Yeah.
Johnny took a nice door hit.
Yeah.
But right before that,
you missed that.
Elliot has a new facial cream that's made from the baby foreskins.
Oh God.
I did miss that.
I did miss that.
He says,
you look so beautiful.
And she's like,
you never give me compliments.
It must be because of my new facial cream. that's made from the foreskins of babies whoa well and then he's
i mean it's got to be used for something right yeah you might as well if there is a nice cream
to be made out of them i don't see any harm joelle take all the mail for that well joelle i'm sorry if that's uh problematic but
can we make one comment on mail really quick um i haven't done it yet but if you send me a picture
of your child's poop or your poop it's gonna going to be an automatic block from now on. I saw that on Twitter.
Someone sent you, well,
because we talked about how what was cut out
of the musical episode was a curly or a letter J.
I saw the letter J.
Somebody sent a letter J.
That was on Twitter.
I'm trying to take it with an air of,
you're trying to reach out,
you feel friendly about the podcast.
Did it gross you out?
So please never send me pictures of poop ever, ever, ever, ever.
Don't send poop.
Because I got some poop pictures in my freaking.
Please don't.
In my photos.

We'll also block you.
I don't want to see it.
Don't send poop pictures.
If you happen to.
I would never send a poop.
If you poop a perfect letter J, just pat yourself on the back.
I laughed at the shit because that shit was a perfect letter J.
It was like a fish hook almost, dude.
It was like.
And now we're talking about it.
All right.
All right.
Now they're getting the attention they want.

to talk about why I feel that cancer to a certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities

I know definitely me, you, Sarah, Bill are doing it.
You don't know about Judy.
You don't know about.
I don't know.
I know that Bill reached out to all of us on a group text and said,
are you guys down to do this?
And I feel like everybody said yes.
That's what I remember.
But I don't remember.
People work and they have jobs, but it is a Sunday.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
I'm excited.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I'm excited.
It's going to be too short because I know what's going to happen.
Bill's going to talk the whole fucking time.
We're not going to be able to fit a word in edgewise, right?
Well, I mean, isn't that what we want, though?
Don't we want Bill to, I mean, he did create the show.
He does have the best perspective than you probably.
And he's funny as hell.
And we have a podcast, so we'll let him talk.
He's probably, if you ask me, one of the funniest people I know. He's definitely. Easily you ask me one of the funniest people i know
uh he's definitely easily easily one of the funniest people yeah like
in my life easily yeah i don't think you sign one of the biggest deals in tv comedy history if
you're not one of the funniest people it'd be weird if you did wouldn't it well there are all
those people that are funny but they're like not funny in person probably
that was the first thing i remember when i met bill i was like holy shit this dude is just
always funny like he could find the comedy in anything yeah all right let's get back to the
show scrubs that the man created um so by the way i wanted a little trivia by the way, I wanted a little, little trivia, by the way, two Scrubs Wiki things.
One thing I learned that was helpful.
This is the last appearance, Sandy, uh, AKA Alexander Chaplin.
This is his final, this is the last appearance of any Spin City cast member on the television
show Scrubs.
Until the season eight finale, right?
Maybe.
Aren't some of them in the hallway or no?
That's a good question.
But according to Scrubs Wiki, it's the last appearance.
So it may be.
It's pretty clear Trevor doesn't know everything.
Well, one thing I want to correct with Trevor that's on here, dude.
I know that you're probably busy with other things and you've moved on from this.
But it says something very weird.
Oh, I got to go.
I got to go back to it.
There's a mistake.
Okay, Trevor?
So if you're listening, if you're still with us,
I don't mean like alive.
I mean if you're still like listening to the show.
There's a mistake that's weird.
It said in the trivia section, it says,
this is the second of only two episodes to be filmed in front of a live studio audience.
This episode was most definitely not filmed in front of a live studio audience.
I was going to say, how?
I mean, how would you have filmed this in front of a live studio audience?
The only time we did that was the sitcom spoof we did, which was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
And that's the only episode that was ever. And what does this mean?
This is the only Scrubs episode to have the Save'em's catchphrase, ka-chung?
Does anyone know what that means?
No.
Ka-chung?
I don't know what Save'em's is.
But they, I guess, have a catchphrase called ka-chung and somebody says ka-chung I don't know if anyone says ka-chung
okay just wanted to let you know those little bits of trivia what the hell is save them
joelle it's called 2003 through 2006 animated television show yeah do you remember anyone
saying ka-chung I don't remember save them let's just I anyone saying kachung i don't remember
save them so let's just i'm gonna say what's i don't remember the show either dude but it's no
the characters are not bringing it but that's a long run for a kid's show though like three years
well maybe someone said kachung we're gonna have to assume that they did i don't even remember
hearing kachung in this episode like i'm'm trying to say, Trevor Wiki don't know
everything, yo. He ain't got the answers, yo!
Listen, some people are allowed,
not just Trevor,
you have to be a member, I'm sure, but other people
are allowed to add things. And Trevor
is the moderator. He's the one who's gonna
rectify the studio audience thing.
Alright, moving on.
Lloyd is in the meeting that Sandy
is holding for Addicts. Yes. Lloyd is played by meeting that Sandy is holding for Addicts.
Yes. Lloyd is played by Mike Schwartz, one of our comedy writers.
Our favorite writers.
Was he on? That's a good question. Was Mike on the show the entire run?
Yes.
And if so, and if he wasn't, did Lloyd come back?
He must have left.
Yeah. Did Lloyd come back and he just did cameos later on?
Bless you. Bless you.
Bless you.
I'm going to bless you.
You better not have given me COVID when I did the jail cell hold up hand thing through the camera.
The janitor wants to become a baby broker.
There's a lot of weird shit with the janitor in this episode.
Okay, he's found Rowdy.
Now,
if you recall when traced,
no,
he traced Carla steps and found Rowdy.
Yes.
If you recall,
Carla lost Rowdy and the janitor turned in his squirrel collection.
But so the janitor is the one that named the dog Steven also.
Yes.
The janitor,
the janitor turned in his taxidermied squirrel collection.
Or a taxidermied dog.
Yes, so he could get Steven and fool us.
Because he felt bad about whatever happened with him and Carla at that time.
Right.
Now the janitor is trying to-
Well, because it turns out that Carla lied to the janitor,
and she was the reason why the dog went missing.
And so the janitor has retraced Carla's steps and found Rowdy.
Yes.
He found Rowdy.
So now we have a situation where Turk has expressed to Carla how important
Rowdy is to him and JD,
to Carla how important and rowdy he is to him
and JD and
Carla realizes
that some of this blackmail that the
janitor's talking about, she might have
to get into, including she teaches him
how to salsa dance.
Throws her into a window.
That's hilarious. Judy
banging up against her.
See there, Judy? Judy being funny.
We play a game
where we trick Ted.
It's a pretty dangerous
little game we play. We put roller skates
on Stephen.
On Stephen.
And we pull him with a red string across
and Ted yells,
Ghost dog! Ghost dog! crash after he crashes into a
electrical uh uh what is the tower yeah no um post yeah and then that crashes into a
into a the the generator the generator of the hospital and we have a backup generator, thank goodness. But JD and Turk are responsible for vandalism pretty much.
And a car accident.
A car accident that could have killed Ted.
Right.
And knocking out the power to a hospital.
Yeah.
They could have killed more than just Ted.
And Dr. Kelso says, relax, everybody.
We have a backup generator.
And the backup generator kicks in.
He goes, oh, thank God, because I was just bluffing.
Yeah.
And then he yells at Ted for how much it's going to cost.
And he says, don't try and blame this on the fact that I paved over that Indian burial ground.
We needed the parking spaces.
It's a poltergeist situation going on there.
There's a what?
Poltergeist. That's what poltergeist was about. there. There's a what? Poltergeist.
That's what poltergeist was about.
Well, that's what maybe Kelso thinks happened.
He doesn't know about the ghost dog trick we pulled.
So another thing is that everyone steals scrubs in the hospital.
So Kelso's pissed about that light item.
Okay, so how it starts
is who steals it first?
Well, it's just a montage.
Well, how it ends is ridiculous.
But how it starts...
I have a shower curtain.
You have a shower curtain.
You have towels, a washcloth.
A garbage bowl of discarded...
Yeah, just straight up...
Scrubs. So who does it start with somebody
i forgot who who else who else and it just gets more and more ridiculous as it goes
so it starts with ted where he comes home and he's like mom someone tried to die on me again
but i wouldn't let him yes i wouldn't let him We learned that all this time Ted has been lying to his mom
that he's a doctor at the hospital.
And then it turns out that Nurse Roberts is using the scrubs for the choir.
So the choir.
And then she has on the really nice scrubs in the middle
while everybody has on the solid colors.
She has on her nurse colors.
So she stands out.
So she stands out in the choir.
And then it cuts to you.
Or I should say, it cuts to JD,
who has a shower curtain made out of scrubs sewn together.
This fucker took time.
Instead of going out and buying a shower curtain.
And then I'm wearing like a towel that's been made out of scrubs sewn together around my waist.
And then I'm using a singular scrub top to dry my hair.
Yes.

Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty

That one got ridiculous.
That one got ridiculous. That one got ridiculous.
And then the other fantasy that got ridiculous.
Wait, wait, don't go there yet.
Because that is one of the funniest things.
That's one of the funniest Scrubs fantasies I've seen.
Oh, my God.
That shit got ridiculous, dude.
That shit got ridiculous.
All right.
Now, this was pretty funny.
Sam says, you don't know how hard it is
to stay straight.
And Rob comes out
of the room behind him.
Best line of the episode.
Todd comes out of the room, checks out his ass, and goes,
There's something like,
tell me about it, brother. But he says brother at the end.
And then he looks at his ass,
and then gives him the head nod.
Like, we could fuck confirming again that uh the todd is down for anything any action anything any action yeah um the janitor
um so he finds rowdy and um he's trying to blackmail carla trying to blackmail carla you
out of nowhere with the sneak hug.
Holy shit.
That makes it into the show.
Well, there's this whole Grey's Anatomy.
I guess Grey's Anatomy must have been very hot now.
And Bill probably thought that they were copying us.
So it was time to make fun of them.
Because he says-
Well, they did something right.
Because that shit is still on the air.
I know.
It's like season 29.
Yeah.
Season 500 of that show.
Never have to worry about money again.
How paid must
Ellen Pompeo be?
So paid. Fabulously paid.
Ellen Pompeo might be
touching Oprah money.
It's close.
I don't know if it's that close.
I mean, Oprah got money where she could
lose $100 million and be like, I did?
I just think Ellen Pompeo, if you're on the show that long.
I mean, she must be one of the highest paid actresses in the history of television.
Her and SUV.
Yeah, Mariska Hargitay.
Mariska.
Yeah.
But Ellen Pompeo.
They got to be the most paid people on television. Yeah. Yeah. But Ellen Pompeo. They got to be the most paid people on television.
Yeah, definitely.
They have to be.
If they're not, there's something really wrong with this system.
Because Ellen Pompeo just has decided, like, she's a very good actress, and she decided to just stay forever.
So is Mariska.
Mariska's a very good actress.
If you make that decision, somebody said, look, we're going to back up the Pranks truck.
Yeah.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
They were like, you commit to 20 years of this, and we're going to freaking give you that money.
You are not going to do anything else, but you are going to have 47 homes.
Right.
Beep.
Beep.
Let me show you where to drop that shit i got a money bin i would be scrooge mcduck
out that motherfucker just swimming in my shit swimming on hard coin on gold coins um all right
listen um so he says gray's anatomy oh one of the things he hates is gray's anatomy wraps up every
episode with a cheesy voiceover that
ties together all the storylines,
which is my least favorite device
on television, Cox says.
To go on a commercial break.
But it has to be vague, too.
Yeah, vague.
And then
JD walks by
going into the commercial break
saying the most vague, nonsensical
thing ever.
Scrubs Wiki had it.
JD's narration is, and so in the end
I knew what Elliot said about the way things
were had forever changed the way
we all thought about them.
And Bill himself has made lots of
jokes about how sometimes it was late
and the voiceovers just made absolutely no sense.
Yeah.
Did you notice Beardface is back in pharmaceutical?
Was he there?
Yeah, he was there.
He's a pharmacist.
So Laverne punches a hole in the window to try and get Rowdy, and she screams her name like Leroy Jenkins.
Like Leroy Jenkins.
Some people might not know who Leroy Jenkins
is because you're a little bit younger
than us.
But a long time ago there was this game called
The World of Warcraft
and it became so freaking
popular.
You must have played a lot of it i only played it
recently but like yes it was very popular and that was at the peak of its heyday
sideways sidebar fucking neverwinter nights is on ios now and you can play the overhead version
of neverwinter nights and it looks like dndD. Really? No way. Deadass. Deadass. So on my
iPhone, I just picked it up.
Neverwinter Nights is out and it's
all, look, all
of the campaigns.
And there's like almost a hundred of them.
Absolutely. Stonerville.
But I need something to do
while I'm laid up in bed with COVID.
Oh, you're so psyched you got COVID.
You're like, I'm just gonna to get high and play video games.
What a dream.
Sounds kind of cool.
I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to do?
Sorry, honey, I've got COVID.
My wife's like, oh, so you can't go to the thing tonight.
I'm like, no, no.
The doctor said I should smoke weed and play video games.
She said, so you can't go to the kids' basketball game this weekend?
I am bummed about that.
But you know what?
I just found out that I could watch that bad boy over the –
Yeah, no doubt.
There's a camera in the gym.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to watch it over the interwebs.
Yeah.
He plays the chip.
FaceTime on your phone.
He plays the chip tomorrow.
Anyway, to make a very long story story short for those who don't know
Anything about video games
Dan why don't you summarize what happened
Okay so let me finish what I was saying
My bad
So there was a game called
The World of Warcraft
And what happens in the game is
It's an online multiplayer game
And
Some of the missions that you do require strategy and
so these and and and and you're going up against it's like clan versus clan so it's like gigantic
groups of people going how many people were live in this group would you imagine i don't know i
would say i like to make it funny I'm going to guess a couple of
hundred people, but realistically
probably 40 to 50 people.
Something like that. How many, Daniel?
13. 13?
Yeah. That's not funny.
It's still a lot of people.
You ruined Donald's
hyperbole, but we like to be accurate on the show.
Look, anybody who's going to be listening to this, who knows
this story is going to be sitting there being like, it wasn't that.
It wasn't this.
It wasn't that.
You're talking peak nerd shit where someone's going to push their glasses up and say, are we going to believe that it was actually 100 people?
All right.
So wait a second.
So it was 13 people.
Why were they so mad?
Sorry.
Go ahead.
So it was 13 people, and they've worked on this strategy that they're going to do for days.
Like, days.
Now, wait a second.
I have a question that either one of you might be able to answer.
Did they stop and meet up again?
Yes.
So they're all meeting up before this strategy is supposed to take place.
They finally made it to a mega boss.
They're going to go into this.
Okay.
Remember what we discussed? We discussed all of this shit they have a plan we have a the 13 of us are gonna do some epic shit
right now now wait no no no no no what happens if you um what what happens now you have to restart
if you don't like defeat this guy like how bad how you have to go? I don't know if you can do it again.
There's certain things in games.
Daniel, what's that?
You can, but the idea is that it's a dungeon,
and you're going all the way through it, part by part by part.
And if you die, you go all the way back to the beginning,
and your characters spawn way outside the dungeon.
Now, Daniel, were these 13 people pausing and like sleeping or were they like doing all-nighters
and shit usually usually they're pulling all-nighters and doing it but also it you know
i hate to say it but this is also fake like leroy jenkins the whole the whole thing it's it's fake
like the whole thing was composed it's like it was like a very early internet meme but the whole
thing is fake.
So, like, this whole thing. Why are you letting me fucking tell?
Come on.
Because it's a great story.
Well, now it's not.
Now nobody's going to give a shit.
Now you ruined it.
It's classic.
It is a classic internet video game.
I never knew it wasn't real until now, and I feel sad.
You didn't even let Dom finish his story.
I mean, you pretty much.
Anyway, so so Laverne
Since everybody knows the fucking
Since everybody knows the fucking story
Since everybody knows the fucking story
Daniel
Laverne punches the window
And does the Leroy Jenkins scream
No the guy
Done no that's it
That's it
No Daniel ruined the story
I'm done
I just had to explain it because
Daniel you should have at least let him finish before you said
it's bullshit. You tossed me to ask a question.
I was just contextualizing.
Let's get into this double fantasy, please.
I'm sad about it being fake. I want to get into this
double fantasy now, man. He's gonna
cry. I'm just sad about it being
fake. Anyway, for those of you at the end of the story...
I was invested in this story just now.
This guy, they're all ready to do their
campaign, and he instead runs into the villain and screams,
Leroy Jenkins!
And they're all like, Leroy, what are you doing, you fucking asshole?
You ruined the campaign!
We've been up all night!
And at the time, we all thought it was hilarious
because we thought this dude was just sabotaging all their efforts,
and it was funny.
Now, Daniel, since you've already ruined the story
yes it was just a setup joke it wasn't real yeah well because when you're when you're watching it
they're they're going through all these numbers they're really making it seem like you know that
they're like okay well this has to happen then this has to happen then this has to happen and
like yeah there's a lot of that kind of discussion before you go in and do a boss like that or go in
and you know do a uh an interaction like this but none of the numbers they're saying are real all of like the calculations they're doing beforehand like it's all bullshit
they're just trying to set it up to make it seem like it's like this super super calculated thing
and it still is like people did all of this shit but leroy the whole the whole thing here it was
like it was a it was a oh i hate when i find out things i like are fake the best the best part is
at the end when they're like way way to go, Leroy.
And he just goes, at least I have chicken.
And that was the end of it.
He's eating fried chicken the entire time.
Oh, my God.
So Leroy Jenkins is black?
Well, no, I don't know that part.
I mean, the motherfucker's name.
Hold on now.
The motherfucker's name is Leroy Jenkins.
If that ain't the blackest name I ever heard in my life, that ain't.
Come on, Joelle.
You know that's a black ass name right there.
It does sound very black.
I don't know.
It does sound very black.
That is black.
I want to meet a white Leroy Jenkins.
I don't think there's too many white people naming their kid Leroy Jenkins, but maybe.
Well, there's Ken Jenkins.
Ken is the first Jenkins I ever met that was white.
Yeah, you always said Jenkins was a popular African-American name.
That's just like, I'm sorry.
When I was growing up watching it live in color or any of those shows,
Jenkins is always the name of the black character.
That's just how it was.
Laverne yells Laverne Roberts and punches a hole in the window while trying to get out.
A la Leroy Jenkins.
A la.
Let's take a break.
We'll be right back after these fine words.

Hi, this is Shannon Doherty, host of the new podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty.
You may know me from, let's see, 90210, Charmed, Mallrats, Heathers.
Probably also know me from my stage four cancer diagnosis and sharing that
journey with so many of you. There's something so authentic about a podcast. It's me connecting,
me talking raw in the moment. That's what my goal is to give you, to talk about why I feel that
cancer to a certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities are as a person with cancer,
because I think that there's something so much bigger than me.
And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is.
And maybe together, we'll find it.
It's going to be a wild ride.
So I hope that you all tune in.
Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Okay, then we learned that Lloyd reveals that to get into Sam's class, you just have to bring in any drugs you have at home so you're not tempted which ruins
uh sam's scam and cox slow claps at the back because he's proven that this guy is a compulsive
fucking fraud liar yeah well he's also getting he's also shooting up with his uh po so there's
that too all right let's get into this fantasy.
It is so funny.
It's a fantasy within a fantasy, which I always appreciate.
So do I.
So this one, it goes, so we're going to save this young lady's foot.
She's not young.
I mean, come on, bro.
We just started off this whole fucking show with being respectful.
And then here you go.
That was a 23-year-old.
She's a middle-aged woman.
Okay.
So we're going to save this woman's foot.
And she goes, do I have to have surgery?
And we're like, yeah, but you wouldn't believe what it was like five years ago.
And it cuts to five.
I guess this is supposed to be five years ago.
No, no.
It doesn't say five years ago.
Even just a while ago.
Okay.
Or something like that.
But then it cuts to medieval times. So first it cuts to medieval times.
And you're standing there and we're talking like we're Shakespearean and the footeth must come off it.
Yeah.
And you're sawing.
You're sawing.
With an actual saw.
And she's got a bone.
She's biting down on it and screaming.
No, she's biting down on a stick, screaming.
A stick, and she's screaming.
And then J.D. says, and you wouldn't believe it, how it waseth.
No, he goes, we're going to eat it for dinner.
Right.
He goes, we're going to saw it off and eat it for dinner.
But you wouldn't believe how it was a few years before this.
Even a little while ago.
And then we cut to caveman times.
They rolled that set out back from my caveman booty call.
Right.
And we're both cavemen now.
And you've got a caveman afro.
Right.
I got the afro.
And you're back in your caveman outfit. And we got her cavemen now. And you got a caveman afro. Right. I got the afro. And you're back in your caveman outfit.
And we got her on the table.
And we're speaking Oonga Boonga.
Oonga Boonga.
Oonga Boonga.
Oonga Boonga.
Oonga Boonga.
And then you knock her out.
And then I knock her out.
And then I knock you out.
Right.
Right?
Which is so funny.
And then you go into fantasy.
And then I go into a fantasy.
And you hear.
And then you hear my voiceover go.
Very funny.
I thought that shit was hilarious.
Very funny.
And I'm a sucker for the Scrubs double fantasy.
Very funny.
I laughed at that.
What about when we all do the fame dance out of the cafeteria?
That was amazing.
And he paused.
And there's the big pause.
And you're in front of the camera.
If you look at Judy, Judy has an amazing face.
Everybody has the great freaking dance pose, happy face.
Who directed this episode again?
Pudge.
Pudge. happy face like whoever who directed this episode again uh punch punch he had to say freeze at one point because the the the freeze frame we couldn't freeze i was in the air i know but the free but
he had to be like jump now because the freeze frame is coming because everybody's like ah with
big cheesy smiles on and everything and it's very funny and then the actual exit happens and everybody's
back in their normal scrubs we should have said that earlier yeah kelso makes it so that everyone
wears caca colored scrubs yeah and he now has switched it back because he can't he doesn't
understand why we sent uh the lady back without the uh the the without the surgery he runs into her at the park again and
she still has the same foot problem so he walks into the hospital pissed like yo what the fuck
man i told you i thought we were doing the dance we weren't doing the dance that we always do he
admits that he knows that they do that secret dance to get around insurance and uh why aren't
you doing the thing and they're and they, well, if you don't trust us,
if you don't let us do our dance where we steal scrubs,
then we're not going to do the dance for your friend.
And then he lets us-
It all costs the hospital a lot of money
because this all comes from,
this comes from him being upset about the books
and how much money the generators, the new generators is going to cost and whyubs are costing, which is our fault, by the way, which is our fault.
Right. Exactly. So, right. So not only did we cost the hospital money for the generator and not only are we stealing all of the scrubs, we've now made it so that the dance that we do that costs all of this money, also that costs the hospital
money, is
only going to be implied if we
get to steal scrubs still. If we still
get to cost the hospital money. We want our
right to steal scrubs back. Right. We want our
cake and eat it too.
And then the cuts to like
who is it at the end walking by?
Was it Todd? Someone walks by
him with a stack of scrubs.
It's the Todd.
Yeah.
It was a funny episode.
The first half of this season started off a little weird.
And then now it's starting to get really funny.
The best part of the end of the episode is that J.D. and Turk finally see that they've been duped and that
Rowdy and Steven are together.
And,
uh,
they don't live together anymore.
So now one of them,
they don't have to share the dog.
Right.
And,
and,
and then he says,
how do you know which one's which?
And JD reaches under Rowdy's dead balls.
He feels them and goes,
that's Steven.
Don't ask me how I know. don't ask me how i know don't ask me how i know so somewhere in their taxidermied scrotums jd knows somewhere lies the secret between somewhere in their taxidermied
scrotums lies the secret there's a sentence no one has ever said before somewhere in their taxidermy scrotums lies the secret. There's a sentence no one has ever said before.
Somewhere in their taxidermy scrotums lies the secret.
Kelso has heart at the end, though.
The show ends with some heart.
Cox decides he's not going to ruin it for Elliot because he doesn't want her to become as cynical as he is.
Which is great. become as cynical as he is which also um you know shows his heart that for this woman that that he
knows didn't have insurance and he took care of her because even though he normally looks the
other way he he looked directly at it this time because he he cares for his friend in the park
who was uh quite sick calso definitely is getting softer as he ages.
I think Bill is strategically making him still totally inappropriate,
but showing little glimmers of more heart as he ages.
Yeah.
He's accepting Harrison more.
Yeah.
And Harrison's boyfriends.
He's learning their names now instead of just looking.
Fiance now.
Yeah.
And participating in their businesses because, you know,
he went to the last boyfriend's Cinnabon,
and that's where he's been gaining some weight.
Right.
Oh, man.
And then also Carla.
Carla gives the janitor squid ink at the end of the show.
Because the janitor believes that someone at Coffee Bucks is going to poison him, and he wants Carla to be his coffee tester.
Right.
And once she outs herself, as the whole Rowdy story.
His blackmail scheme is irrelevant.
He can't blackmail her anymore. But he's right that someone is trying to hurt him.
And they've put squid ink in his coffee.
Yeah.
And his tongue is black.
Black.
And his finger is black.
He dips his finger and it pulls pulls it out, and then tastes it.
If you dip your finger in coffee and it comes out and it's covered in black oil or ink,
what looks like oil, are you going to put it on your tongue after that?
No.
But the gender does.
We did it, guys.
We did it.
We did it, guys.
We don't have a guest today
because somebody flaked on Joelle.
And we don't like it
when you flake on our queen.
Don't have a flake.
You flake.
You know how many people
want to come on as callers
and Joelle has to sift through?
We don't even get to play the theme song.
It must have been an emergency.
Yo, Dano, Dano.
Yes.
Play the song anyway.
Instead of that,
can we play Joelle,
Joelle Monique is down to get down
oh yeah let's get that one
play that drop
but which version of it
the dirty one

No matter what's
between your legs, tomorrow morning you
could be making an X. Joel
Monique is down to get down.
Oh yeah.
Joel Monique is down to get
down.
That's a bop. That is a bop.
We love you guys.
I'm coming to the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas on June 5th.
This is how my brain works.
I was like, what are you going to Paramount Theater for?
What's going on at Paramount Theater?
Donald, I hope even though you have COVID, you get over it
and that you enjoy your right to stay away from your children and pull bong hits and play video games.

Maybe you can watch Danil on Twitch.
What are you going to Twitch, Danil?

Because that game really pisses me off.
You know what?
I bought it and I tried it.
That shit, dude, that's just too much, man.
It's so hard. Sasha Gray plays it.
She twitches it.
Yeah, but you know what?
She's Sasha Gray.
And she's good at so many things.
She's better than me at video games.
I can't do it.
I'm too much of a baby.
I don't have the patience.
Same. I'd rather play Rocket League.
But I will play Neverwinter Nights, and that's just
a tough game. There you go.
That's a very difficult game. I am going to play that.
I'm so excited. I finished it.
What is the countdown to Obi-Wan Kenobi airing
on Disney Plus? Was it like seven days?
After this, it'll be this Friday.
So when this airs, it'll be this Friday so when this airs it'll be this Friday
right
alright so
Friday guys check out Obi-Wan
Kenobi because we are
all very excited about it
I'm really excited even I'm excited about it
I've been watching
two episodes
I'm going to give two shout outs
for things I watch Don doesn't watch anything but Marvel and Star Wars.
But first of all, Colin Firth is such a good actor.
I've watched two different things with him recently.
What are you watching?
My wife's watching something.
Staircase on HBO.
Yeah, she's watching that.
She loves it.
Amazing.
And Operation Mincemeat, which is a true story of a spy mission that the english did in world war ii
that is also incredible can i just say something though you said something that everybody after
you said it was like no shit colin firth is such an amazing actor no shit no i know but i've never
particularly focused on it I've never said
Really?
I know that he works a lot
I know that he's well respected
And he's an Academy Award winner
I'm just telling you that right now he has two high profile things out
And I've watched them both
And he's fucking killing it
He's so good
Dude okay so I just want you to do this one time
Just go back and watch Love Actually
Oh well that's old school.
Go watch it.
It's one of the best movies ever made.
And it's not Christmas time, and you can watch it right now.
And I guarantee you the scene at the end with Colin Firth in the freaking Portuguese cafe talking to the lady, to the girl who was his assistant that summer or at that cottage, whatever it is.
That scene where he's talking
to her in bad
Portuguese
is one of the best scenes in the movie.
That's what I'm talking about.
And that movie has so
many great scenes. That's what I'm talking about.
I like
that brother's been good for so
long. It's ridiculous. Yeah, he's really good for so long it's ridiculous
yeah he's really good
but what I'm telling
our audiences
if you're looking
for things to watch
watch The Staircase
but watch the documentary
first
because it's
based on a documentary
and then go watch
Colin Firth
do the
what would you call it
the scripted version
because it's just amazing.
And then go watch this movie that I thought was so well done called Operation Mincemeat.
All right.
We love you guys.
That's our show.
And we will see you soon.
