I'm Raquel Willis. Join me on my new podcast, Queer Chronicles, a show where LGBTQ plus folks tell their own stories in their own words. This season, teens will share all about growing up in political battleground states. We will always exist and we will definitely not let them take away our joy, no matter how hard they try. Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast. And I had the opportunity to talk to one of Hollywood's major icons, Michael B. Jordan. In our conversation, Michael shares the highs, the lows, and everything in between, offering a genuine glimpse into his world.

The closest to getting what you want is always the hardest. People give up right before they get what they've always wanted to get.

Balcony, what up up there? What's up? What up all the way up there? This is so cool, you guys. We never- This is a little overwhelming. This is incredible. It's a little overwhelming. We don't know if we're-

. We don't know if we're... We have no idea if we're ever gonna do this again, so tonight let's pretend this might be the only fucking time we ever do this. Yeah! This is... Yo, y'all are so loud, you're putting chills in my bones! I love it! This is so much better than doing this on Zoom. You think?

We've only done this, as you all know from listening, in front of our Zoom windows in our office. And now here we are in Seattle! Seattle! Hey, we're trying to figure out what we're going to do tonight after the show. What is there to do in Seattle? I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. This guy goes to bed at 7.30 at night.

Well, it is past my bedtime. It is past my bedtime. He's trying to act like he's going to do anything. Donald's normally, I know that if I'm texting Donald, I literally will check my phone and be like, oh, it's 8.30, he's asleep. Right? No lie. No, you're right, you're right. He has 47 children.

By the time you read them all stories, you're conked. I'm just old, bro. It has nothing to do with... It has nothing to do with my kids, bro. I'm with you. I'm with you. We're not doing anything. We're here to see you guys, and that's fucking it. Thank you so much for coming. I mean, I know we got Scrubs fans in the house. Make some noise if you're a Scrubs fan.

Yeah! I told Donald, my only note as a producer of the show to Donald was don't wear a dark color because it won't look great on camera, and he shows up wearing an AMC Richmond hoodie. Yeah! Oh, I love you so much. Whoa! Listen, I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to do this yet, but...

Zach and Muffin. Zach and Muffin. This needs to be louder, guys. Zach and Muffin. Zach and Muffin. Zach and Muffin. The sound pad needs to be way louder. Zach and Muffin.

We'll take forever. We'll take forever. Look at what happened to him. He don't have a Zoom. By the way, this is the... What you trying to get into? A damn show.

What you trying to do? By the way, stop fucking touching the sound machine. Do it one more time. This is the first time he's ever touched it. The tables have turned. That's a new sound effect. Is that a new sound effect have turned. That's a new sound effect. Is that a new sound effect? No, that's a fresh one. I'll save that for the

soundboard. Get off my soundboard. Listen, I only brought one soundboard, so I don't have the one that says... Where's the everybody likes a little ass play button? I didn't bring that one. I didn't bring that one. Dang it. All right, listen.

Who wore a onesie? Who wore a onesie? Yeah, beautiful onesie. Ronsie gang. Yeah. If you wore a onesie, put your lighters in. No, no. Not a lighter.

No lighters. Put your phones in the air if you wore a onesie. So we're all fucking hyped. We are actually recording this to be a podcast. You guys are all going to be on the podcast. So, we're so stoked you're here. We're going to attempt to actually do what we do, the thing you guys listen to.

We are going to do a re-watch episode of our podcast for the musical episode. Have you guys watched it? I hope you guys re-watched it, because we've been re-watching it and getting familiar with it. I am a little bit familiar with it now. Now we're familiar with it. I'm a little familiar familiar with it now. Now we're familiar with it. I'm a little familiar with it.

And we are going to do what we always do, which is talk through the episode with y'all in attendance. Wait, what'd you say? Are we singing? Well, we'll just have to see. We don't know. All I know is that any fucking thing could happen tonight. Anything. Anything could happen. All right, let's get into it. All right, let's get fucking thing could happen tonight. Anything.

Anything could happen. Alright, let's get into it. Alright, let's get into it. Let's get into it. Hey, y'all met Joelle and Danil, right? Hi! Hey, big ups to Danil for freaking grooving tonight while y'all walked in. Hell yes! DJ Danil!

Great job. Great job, DJ Danil. Thank you job DJ Danil Thank you Great job We should talk about How great it is To finally do a show And not have to worry about Like you know

People coming in Oh you hiding in your closet Because of your children When we started this As you guys know From listening to the show We started literally The day of lockdown The first day of lockdown We were supposed to the show, we started literally the day of lockdown.

The first day of lockdown. We were supposed to do this in person together. And the rumors of lockdown were starting. And I said, well, it's you and me. Do you want to just come over to my house and we'll do it? And Donald was like, I'm not coming over. No. And I was like, it's me.

And he goes, I don't fucking care. There's COVID. I'm not going anywhere. And so we, and the good folks at iHeart said, thanks to Daniel. Thanks to Daniel. Dano was like We can make this work I just gotta give you guys hardware But that meant Dano coming over to the crib

Yeah and he came so mad I mean this dude looked like What did you look like? You were in hazmat gear It was like 28 days later But it was good because he was a stranger at that point He came over in a full Like the yellow thing that blows up. Like Marty McFly in Back to the Future.

And he was like, here's your gear. But it was like, here's your gear. And I was like, I don't know how to set that shit up. And he's like, I'll talk to you through the Zoom about it. I've recorded a video for you. So that's how we started the show, doing it all four of us in our individual homes, all entirely over Zoom.

Other than the episode we've done in the cars, which I think were two, nothing else has ever been done outside of our individual homes through the Zoom window. So this is really, really thrilling for us. We did that E special, and we got to actually go into the iHeart studio for the first time.

Yeah, but that wasn't good. Yeah, but we got to see... That wasn't really good. We don't talk about that. But we got to see where Joelle worked for the first time, which was kind of cool to see her office and stuff. It was weird, though, because we never... And steal all of iHeart's hand sanitizer at the time.

We did, though. We did. It was the height of COVID, so Donald was like, look at all that hand sanitizer. Should we take it? Should we take it? And Donald's over there like shoveling hand sanitizer into his backpack. He had like Wolverine claws with just full of hand sanitizer, it was crazy.

Do you remember that? He stole hand sanitizer. No, remember me? I was like, I don't know if you should be stealing hand sanitizer. We took a picture on Instagram and in the back of it, I'm holding four things of hand sanitizer. Look what I got.

Well, it's such a thrill to be in your beautiful city. We arrived today, and we were in the car getting here, and Donald pointed to the beautiful skyline and said, is that the Space Needle? And I looked at him and said, what the fuck else do you think? Like, what else could it be? I remember the Space Needle being taller when I was a kid, and now it just seems like it's this little tiny thing. I'm like, no, that's the transgalactic pointy thing.

The Space Needle's to the left of it. Yo, I remember being able to see, is it Mount St. Helena? Helen. Get off my back. You should have Googled that before you talked to the people of Seattle. But we were in the plane and we saw one of the mountains, I guess it's Rainier,

in the clouds. And Donald and I think we know what we were talking about. We're like, look, Mount St. Helena in the clouds. And we're like, oh, look how cool it is. I'm going to try and get a picture. And this woman turns around and she goes, it's Rainier. We felt really fucking stupid. Hey, Zach, you know what?

Well, listen, we're so happy to be here. And I have to say, one of the best things about being here is that doing this live, we know there's no chance of our precious show that we put so much time into being hijacked by our good friend... Interrupting Bill! Interrupting Bill!

Are you seriously playing recordings from him? Interrupting Bill. Hey, Seattle, welcome to my podcast. Very funny. It's not his podcast. I hope some people showed up. People did show up, Bill. Did you guys walk out to the 50 Cent song

like I told you to? Yes, we did. It was not your idea, Bill. Zach, how's the podcast going so far? It's going very well, Bill. I'm sorry it's not going well, Zach, but don't blame yourself. Don't blame yourself. Don't blame yourself.

Let Donald talk more. Let Joelle talk more. Yeah, I think everyone's getting a chance to talk, Bill. Thank you. You can turn it off now. Let Joelle talk more. For real. Seattle, I'm sorry I could not be there, but in old times' sake, Dan will hook me up. Five, six, seven, eight!

And then I was like, hey, remember in this one section, because the camera's going to shoot you, he goes, I'll let you give me notes just tonight. Wow. All right, let's get into it. This fucking magical, yes, count us in, Donald. Y'all want to count us in? You guys count us in. One, count us in, Donald. Y'all want to count us in? You guys count us in.

One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight! We've got some stories about the love we made. About a bunch of dachshund nurses and a Canada who loved to hate. I said we've got stories that you all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show is actin' on old.

Mm-hmm. All right, everybody. Episode six of season six, My Musical, Episode 6 of Season 6, my musical, directed by Will McKenzie, written by Deb Fordham, of course Bill Lawrence,

the showrunner creator of the television show Scrubs, and many other brilliant writers that are on our amazing squad of writers. And guest starring the amazing Stephanie DeBruzzo. Is that how you say it, Bill? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was starring in a different musical. She was starring in the puppet musical, Avenue Q.

I think they prefer that you call it Avenue Q. Yeah, I was trying to think of it. That's why I was asking for a hookup. No, I don't think they want it called the puppet musical. No. We spent a lot of time coming up with a title, Zach, and we don't want the puppet musical. But you all knew what I was the working title. We spent a lot of time coming up with a title, Zach, and we don't want The Puppet

Musical. But you all knew what I was fucking talking about. There's only been one. She was incredibly talented, and she... Tell us how you found her, you cast her. How did this all come about? Look, Scrubs has this weird kind of central point of actors and writers that are both kind of simultaneously guys, guys, and love musical theater. That's not Zach.

He's just in the musical theater part. It's okay. Facts. Facts. On the way in, I was like, what are their sports teams? He did. He asked what Seattle's sports teams were. And by the way, you can make stuff up

with Zach. What's your favorite Seattle sports team? I knew about T-Mobile Arena, obviously. I'm like, what do they play there? Sorry, sorry. I know it's fucking huge. It's not an arena, it's a park. Sorry. But we had a writing staff and cast members that all love musicals, and we decided the sixth year of that show to take a shot at doing one. And the funniest thing for me, by the way, I want everybody without thinking

to answer this question together when I say three. There's only one cast member in this cast who can't sing a lick. And one, two, three. Sad shot! Oh, that's fucked up. That reminds me of something funny. You know, when we do the podcast...

No, no, wait. When we do the podcast, one of the running things that happens because we pre-recorded is we say cut that down, cut that down, non-stop. Because one of us is always saying something shit we don't want out there broadcasting. I'm always stoned, so you know how it goes. As you know, Donald...

Shocker. Shocker. As you know, Donald is high as balls. Yeah. So very often, there's a common refrain amongst all of us who are like, cut that, Daniel. Donald will go on some random tangent, and we'll be like, okay, and cut that, Daniel.

And then, yeah. And so I said to Donald and Bill and all these guys, and Joel and Daniel, we can't really, obviously, for when this goes out to the rest of the world that isn't the 1,800 of you, we can cut anything out. But I go, you guys realize, we're doing this live. There'll be no cut that, Daniel. And I was just enjoying it as Bill had you guys all announced that Sarah can't sing.

We are definitely not cutting that channel. Sarah is somewhere in Vancouver right now just with a single tear. She doesn't know why. She has no idea but a tear just crested. But Donald and I were laughing, because everyone can pretty, I love you to death, Sarah, but everyone can pretty much sing,

but what was the line? Did you just look at the camera and say, I love you to death? I looked at this camera and said, Sarah, I love you to death. But Donald, what was the line she sings at the end? How can I tell him? By the way, if you guys were there,

she did like eight takes all the same. And then like after the eighth one, you just go like this. Good enough. All right, Donald, where are your notes? Did you bring your notes? Where are your fucking notes? Why did you fold them up?

Listen, this tells you everything you know. I have, like, four pages, and he's got, like, a wrinkled-up thing. It probably has gum in it. No, there's no gum. All right, start us off. All right, so the story starts off like this. Carla doesn't want to go back to work. She's just had the baby, Izzy. Elliot and JD live together now.

I didn't know that you guys lived together. Not as a romantic couple. Elizabeth Banks Kim has just left, and I have no one to live with, so I'm living with Elliot as a roommate, and I'm very clingy. JD is very clingy. And we always have to do that. You know, there are blurred lines.

And that's how we find J.D. really kind of spooning aggressively Elliot in the park. In a park, yes. Yes, he's latched on to Elliot. And she wants to go drink from a water fountain in the park, which is weird because who would do that? There's a lot of y'all out here that have drank from a water fountain. Don't act like... We were all kids once.

Don't get all brand-new all of a sudden because Zach's talking about people not... All right, well, maybe pre-COVID. I'm not drinking from a park water fountain post-COVID. I mean, that's probably the cleanest thing in the park. Okay. That's funny. I like how it tastes like rust a little. I like water with flavor. Well, Bill has no germophobia at all.

Bill, remember in, was it Police Academy where the guy picks up a candy bar from the bench and just eats it? That might be a deep cut. I'll remember from Police Academy, it's this. I don't think you did it as well as he does. No, Michael Winslow is an amazing sound effects guy. Yeah, okay. All right. Hey, why don't you pretend to make a bong sound like him? Okay, go.

That's much better. That's much better. Incredible. Okay, so Patty Miller, Miss Miller, hey, Miss Miller, she falls. And Sarah and I, Elliot and I, being the amazing doctors we are, we rush over to her, only to find that she hears us singing.

How many people do you see? Do you know this is a real medical condition? All right, so, the guy JD, who's been on your show before, my show, I fucked that up, it's my show. Come on, Bill. Dan'll cut that. Fuck, it's me. No, Dan'll cut that. Me, Dan'll, and Joel, when we came up with this show,

I said I would never do that. I said I would never do that. But all the medical stories are true and this is actually a Real condition believe it or not that you a thing in your brain that you hear everything in music Okay, I assume it's really doing aneurysm because that's we ultimately find out. Yes. Okay, so I said yes to enthusiastically I don't know what happened there. Yes So

So, okay So she starts singing and then we and we go to the parking lot of the hospital where we bring her, and we do this amazing, really... Okay, I got a couple of questions about this. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Never in the history of Scrubs has there been that many people in the parking lot. Right.

Ever. And why is Dr. Cox jumping rope? By the way, I'm going to give you guys... We didn't practice this. I'm going to give you three choices. Ready? Choice number one was there was something cut and he was doing athletic material outside like exercising.

Choice number two was we wanted him to do something dynamic that he could dance. Or choice number three is Johnny C. said everybody's doing fun, I want to jump rope. I'm going to go with choice number three. Three sounds right. I'm going to go with choice number three. Three sounds right. I'm going to go with three. The funny thing about this episode that's really specific to this episode

is it dances, pun intended, in and out of the fantasies. So the world of the fantasies is sort of like only when she's around. One thing that's really clever that you did that I noticed a lot this time through was anytime anyone's singing, she's clocking it.

She's watching it. But there's a couple times where something really crazy happens and she's long gone, where in my mind I'm like, at the end of this big Busby Berkeley number with the dance number, she's gone, right? But Doug is still in the parking lot with a corpse trying to wheel a gurney and then he fucking leaves it. He leaves it outside. So is that outside of the world of the fantasy? No, no, that happened.

By the way, just so you guys know, our work was I would talk to Zack and Donald the cast for like 20 minutes about how this was all, it's all in our fantasy, it's all in whatever. And then Zack would say, so if Doug leaves the body, did that really happen? And I would just go, I got to go. Yeah.

Because within the musical number, as you all recall, Doug makes the corpse wave. Dead guys! Dead guys! Doctors! Nurses! Dead guys! If you think you're

singing, you belong at Sacred Doctors! Nurses! Doctors! Dead guys! You belong at Sacred Heart. Doctors, nurses, doctors, dead guys. Welcome to Sacred Heart. Now, Daniel. Daniel, they can do better than that. All right, listen.

I liked it. What happens then, Donald, is that we are called to diagnose, as the doctors, the two young doctors of the show, are called to try and diagnose what is wrong with her. There's only one way to diagnose her. Now, Bill, you said this comes from a real thing,

that doctors often... True. By the way, what's the most realistic medical show on television? Hit me up. Bam. All right. You the way, what's the most realistic medical show on television? Hit me up. Bam. You said house, motherfucker? Oh.

I'm going to escort this motherfucker on out. Come on. It's time to go. It's time to go, bro. We got to go. This motherfucker right here got to go.

That'd be funny if he was a plant And we had somebody We just dragged him out Get your ass on it And everyone in the audience Thought it was real Oh my god

Donald got so violent Donald calm down They're really hurting that guy I'm sorry Bill so She's freaking Giving the disclaimer He's not with me I know he's sitting next to me

But he is not with me It's a first date. I don't even like him. It's a J date. Alright. True story. It's a J date! Is that what you just said?

It's a J date. I tried it. I'm going back to Bumble. Is there truth in this? Oh, that's your sister. That's your sister. You guys are brother and sister. Oh, okay. I'm so sorry for Zach saying all of those nasty stuff. It was funny until you guys had to be siblings.

All right. So, Bill, go on. Is there a point? all of those nasty stuff. It was funny, and so you guys had to be siblings. All right. So, Bill, go on. Is there a point? I'm back, I'm back. All right. When you're admitted to the hospital, if they can't figure out what's going on with you,

70% of the time, they're going to check the poo. Yeah. That's where it starts. Now, we know this is a very beloved song, and we would love to perform it for you, but we would need a piano player. Who the fuck is that? Who the fuck is that? This happens every time I ask for a piano player.

Who is the guy? Do you know that this happens every time? All I say is I need a piano player and one rolls out. What's his name? That's Matt, everybody. Welcome, Matt. By the way, do you really have an on-call piano boy? I do have an on-call piano player bill. It's a it's a perk that I have in my life I just like a I like a on-call trumpet guy, but everybody fucking hates him That's not nearly as good what happens in my house is even when I'm alone

I say I need a piano player and Matt rolls into my living room Those crew guys they work in my house. All right, we're going to do this. I think we should do some audience participation. I think we should do some audience participation as well. Don't worry, it's not like Cats. We're not going to come into the audience and sit on your laps. Do you remember when they had to erase all the anuses from the Cats movie?

I never saw the Cats movie. Well, what happened in the Cats movie is... This is a digression, but when they first made the Cats movie, they included anatomically correct cats with anuses. All of the cats in the movie had anuses. Good. Wait, what'd you say? He said, release the butthole cut, because what happened was

test audiences were so traumatized that they went back and erased all of the cat's anuses. And there's a thing on the... This is bullshit. It's true. Google it. It's true. Google it. It's true.

Dan, Google it. Zach, Zach. Let's do a little sketch. Hey, what do you do for a living? Well, one of my main jobs recently has been erasing cat anuses from the Cats movie musical.

Alright, so look, this is how we're going to do it. I still want to talk about the erasing anuses. We're going to say, no, I don't want to talk about cat ass. We'll move on. We're going to sing, Hey, Miss Miller, we just need... What's the key? Hey, Miss Miller. I'm going, what's the key? Hey, hey Miss Miller.

Survey says. Okay. Okay, and Joelle, would you mind being the woman who said what? She said alligator. Oh, alligator. Too soon. Too soon. For those of you who saw us on Family Feud,

Donald said that an alligator would be the best animal to help you escape a zoo. Hold on. All of you have seen an alligator climb a fence since then? No. If I'm lying, I'm dying right now. All of you have seen an alligator climb a fence since I said that shit on Family Feud.

That was the funniest shit ever on Family Feud. Who would help you escape a zoo and alligator? All right. Joelle, would you mind being the person who says, I was shot? It concerns me that that's the part you want me to play, but yes, I will. Woo!

From the top of your head to the sole of your shoe. Okay. We can figure out what's wrong with you by looking at your poo. Turk. Do you have a hemorrhoid Or is it rectal cancer? When you flush your dookie down You flush away the answer

It doesn't really matter If it's hard or if it's loose We'll figure out what's wrong with you As long as it's a deuce What? Everything comes down to poo Cardiovascular and lymphatic, yes, the nervous system too All across the nation, we trust in defecation Everything comes down to poo

Boo. Thank you, Matt. Good night, Matt. Good night, Matt. Bye, Matt. Zach, do you want to hear a quote from the source that revealed the buttholes in campus? Yeah, of course.

When we were looking at the playbacks, we were like, what the hell? You guys see that? The source told the outlet we paused it. We went to call our supervisor and we're like, there's a fucking asshole in there. There's buttholes. It was prominent, but you saw it

and you were just like, what the hell is that? That's a fucking butthole in there. There's buttholes. It was prominent, but you saw it, and you were just like, what the hell is that? That's a fucking butthole in here. It wasn't in your face, but at the same time, if you're looking, you're gonna see it. There were buttholes in Catspots. Yeah. Do you think they, like, puckered and stuff, or that they were just still buttholes?

Oh, gosh! Release the butthole cut. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast.

Listen and subscribe to the Martha Stewart podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay. So, okay, let's get back into the show. Should we? Yeah. All right, so...

After that, we get... Where are your notes? Get out your crumpled notes. I'm getting my notes. Interrupting Bill. I'm interrupting Bill. Who's I'm interrupting again. I'm interrupting again. Bill's interrupting again.

Dude, you're sitting right here. You're sitting right here. Relax, Zach. Bill asked me to jump in if the show ever hit like a lull. You know? And this is kind of a lull. And he just wanted me to remind him that he brought some swag from other shows of his.

Hey, thanks! I did. I did. I did bring some extra swag if the show hit a lull. Thanks, Bill. I appreciate it, man. He's always there for me. I love that guy. Just to Zach, look, nobody takes it harder than Zach. So I promise that if he ever had a weak moment, like forgetting lyrics,

I'd throw out some Ted Lasso sweatshirts. Here we go. That was great. No, look at it this way. It's positive reinforcement. If you're ever being really hard on yourself, my voice will chime in and I'll give stuff away. Cut that, Daniel.

Okay. Daniel, cut all of Bill's appearance in this show. Wow. All right. So let's get back in the show. Elliot, I'm going to miss you, Carlos. We're going to miss you, Carlos, the next number. Right. We have to give a shout out to our beloved, the late, great Sam Lloyd. Sam Lloyd. Props to Sam Lloyd. The late, great Sam Lloyd. Sam Lloyd. Props to Sam Lloyd. Hey, Zachy.

This will make you guys laugh, I hope, but Zach does it better than I do because we're going to miss you, Carl, as one of them. Will McKenzie, he directed this episode. He's a huge musical theater guy. When Zach said Busby Berkeley, it was referring to Will. And I think he was on Broadway longer than anybody, consecutive shows in Hello, Dolly. Do you remember how he used to always start a scene?

Yeah, so he had this very special thing, I think we've joked about it on the podcast before, but he would, and I've never had any other director in my whole career do this, but he would sort of sum up your motivation right before he called action. So he'd be like, here comes Turk, he's angry at Carla, and he's really frustrated, and here he comes, Donald, and action!

He would sort of like talk you up right before action. I remember it because for this thing he goes, here comes Carla, everybody's sad because they love her and she's leaving the hospital, action! He would totally like psych you up and remind you what your motivation for the scene was right before action. It's a really good technique. I've never seen anyone else ever do it.

Have you ever used said technique? I've never seen anyone else ever do it. Have you ever used said technique? I've never used that technique, no. Here comes Florence, and she's super sad, and she's going to recovery and action! I haven't done that. Speaking, you know, I don't think you can use that for addiction movies.

Yeah. Here comes Morgan. He almost fell off the wagon, and he's gonna do an AA monologue action. By the way, this may be the most fun new game to do about any movie. The director inappropriately psyching the actor up.

So Judy, if you watch the show, she's not in a lot of it. She's just in specific parts. She fell and broke her pelvis. watched the show, she's not in a lot of it. She's just in specific parts. She fell and broke her pelvis. Yeah, man. Yeah. And then came back a month later or a month and a half later after breaking said pelvis and did the whole... Said pelvis. Yeah, well, you know. Said pelvis. He always says said after breaking said pelvis. I got it from Rob Mastro when he said, where is said monkey?

That was the very rare Scrubs bestiality joke. Yeah. Where is said monkey? As though he wants to flirt with the monkey? No, as if he wants to. Never mind. Anyway, so she broke her pelvis and came back a month later to do the Dominican song. I don't know if you guys remember the Dominican song.

She's dancing her butt off and singing her butt off. The singing part was probably easier than the dancing with the broken pelvis. You know, if you look back at the show, the only thing that she shot standing with a broken pelvis is when they're all kind of marching, you know, the truth. And we had the whole march stop so she could fake it. She couldn't even lift her legs. So go back and look at that. It's crazy. Wow. She was a trooper and she came back and she and she killed it. She slays, right? She really does. But at the part that we're talking about right now, she's about to leave the hospital. she's kind of conflicted about it. Ted's band comes in and they sing this wonderful gospel number.

Amazing. And your fucking part in it is one of the best parts of the whole show. My baby, ba-da-ba-da-ba-do it. You make me sound like Al Jarreau. Ba-dee-dee-ba-ding-dong, ba-ding-dong-bing-dong-ba-na-dong. Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ding-dong-bing-dong-do-ee. By the way... My baby, ba-da-ba-da-ba-do it. How can that not be one of the sound effects? What you trying to get into a day or soon? What you trying to do?

I want to know what you're trying to get into. All right, so, wait. I'm being genuine and sincere right now. That moment with you singing in that is so beautiful and cool. Thank you. Did you, like the infamous Poison dance, did you make up this choreography on the spot? You know they want to...

Donald. Donald. Do it. Y'all want to see the dance? Yes! Just give him some of the moves. Play Fortnite. Yeah!

Oh. Wow. Boo. Boo. Y'all going to boo me at my show, huh? Y'all going to boo me at my show? Y'all going to boo me at my show? Y'all gonna boo me at my show? Y'all wanna see some Radio Raheem shit?

Ha! Got him! Yeah! Yeah! That's it! That's it! That's it! That's it! Hey! Tune in to Fortnite for the rest. You can't that shit!

Yeah! But in all seriousness, did you make... Tune in to Fortnite for the rest. You can't catch it. But it's all seriousness. Did you recall if you made up that dance on the day? No, all of that was choreographed. It was really good. I thought that was awesome. Thank you. And so Bill, as we were talking about backstage, let's just discuss with the audience

how each song in the musical is inspired by a different style of musical number in some beloved musicals. All right, this is true. I missed the first part of the question because Zach told me that I have to be in certain places when Donald's talking. Wow.

This is the funniest thing. Like, Bill's not used to being on camera, right? He's used to just giving... Cameras, it's scary. He's used to giving direction. He's used to giving direction, and he's a very confident fellow. And so we were rehearsing just a bit with the cameras,

and he said, like, someone said to him, hey, when you're talking to Zach, maybe lean back so you're not blocking that camera. And he goes, oh, don't worry, I got this. And I could see him looking at me, like, in a panic mode, like, when am I supposed to lean back? I'm not talking a lot, because for the last seven minutes I've been doing this.

You're good. You're good. You're good. Tell us, the podcast audience. No, don't do that. I don't know where to put my hands now. Okay. You're doing great. You're doing great.

You guys might think that famous showrunners know how to perform on camera. No, we're doing this. We're doing this. You're doing great. You look't. We're doing this. We're doing this. Let's talk normal. You're doing great. You look natural. You look totally natural. That's how a person sits.

All right, tell us about each number. So the Carla number is kind of a gospel-y number, right? Well, how many people out here, let's be honest and open and own it. Who likes musical theater? Boom, boom, boom, boom. So every song, the act break song is based on Les Mis. There's a song from Grease in there.

We'll be friends forever. We're going to be friends forever. We will always be true. Ooh. Yes, Bill? And my favorite part, if we ever get there, is... I hope you guys book the sitter until 1 in the morning. I'm just kidding. Don't worry. I'm just kidding.

The only thing that was meant... By the way, the coolest thing is the song was written by the team that did Frozen, and they did Book of Mormon, and most of the songs were written by them. And then half the songs were written by the a cappella group, Sam Lloyd and Paul Perry and those guys. They're awesome. And the one song we were missing, this is true how Writer's Room works, we were laughing and we were enjoying it, but the show was a little short. And we said, this show's missing a huge love ballad,

like you see in every musical. And well, the funny part was everybody's like, yeah, we gotta do something for JD and Elliot. And then we were like, or... I hear you. I hear you. What if? Or...

Stay with me. What if it's not JD and Elliot? This is why people that, you know if it's not JD and Elliot? This is why people that, you know, it's so cool when you get to be around, like on a show like this, lots of amazing artists. And Paul was so good because we literally, the writing staff, all I had is I went to him and I said, it's called Guy Love and the refrain is, it's just Guy Love between two guys.

And he wrote the whole thing. You just said him on his, your prompt was, it's Guy Love between two guys, and he wrote the whole thing. You just sent him on his, your prompt was, it's guy love between two guys. That's it. And he went off and he wrote a beautiful poem. Say no more, I got you. By the way, it's like a superhero moment. He's like, I got it, he ran out.

All right, we'll get to that. We're getting ahead of ourselves with talking about guy love. I got excited. So the next big number is like the Gilbert and Sullivan style number, which is Johnny C's big number. It's based on Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert and Sullivan rant. And I come in and go, Dr. Cox, huge news. I pulled some strings and got the parking spot right next to yours.

Bumper buddies. Yes. And Cox, in order to give this young lady, what happened? What happened? Your spot's behind. Oh? Your spot's behind him. Oh, my spot's behind him. God, you're good. By the way, all I heard was,

Zach behind you. And my heart fucking dropped. I just, no! I was like, this is enough fucking pressure. Who's behind me? I love, though, my favorite thing is that Zach is so insecure that he thinks... Wait, he thinks that if a murderer was behind him, one person would be like, Zach.

Zach. Just one person in the middle. My one friend. Zach? All the other 1,800 people are silent, but one person had the middle. My one friend. All the other 1,800 people are silent. But one person had the courage to be like, Zach, behind you. The rest of you

lived in fear. My best friends didn't have the courage to mention the killer. Zach! She stands up behind you! All right. So Neil has a really good voice, huh? It's just really hard. It's so hard to translate.

Nobody here cares about me, but Neil's voice. Neil's voice is interesting. It's interesting. No, I was not... I mean, Neil's an amazing performer. I remember on the day being really impressed by his voice, but this... And all about it, Scrubs Wiki pointed out that this is the first...

This is true. This is the first time, and maybe, well, you can discuss it, but it's the only time, but the very first time he ever mentions that his hatred for me is the result of the penny in the door. Yes. Is it the first time? Yes. Even in the pilot when he goes, if you put a penny in there, you're dead.

Yeah, but the audience never learns why the fuck the janitor hates JD so much. And he reveals it. Well, it all started with a penny in the door. There was a hatred I had never felt before. And still I'm... Nope, nope, nope. ...everyway until that moose-teared... Burr, derp. I didn't write the lyrics down.

You want to know two things? Go ahead, Bill. One, everybody here has had this experience when you do something you care about, and that's our only serious fuck-up in the show. If you've seen it, there's a really weird light cue there that we had to color in special effects because the lights were off and they should have been on.

Did you notice that? No, a spotlight hits him. It's fake. Oh, you mean like the spotlight is fake? It's fake because we had a light malfunction. It's the only take we had of that. This dude Daniel acting like he's never seen some fake shit before.

Avatar just was in theaters. What about the spotlight was fake? By the way, the guy, all he does is play video games. He's like, that light was fake? If it's not in a video game, I don't have object permanence. I can't do it. That is also, Zach brings up a good point.

It's where we decided, because we thought the show might end the seventh year, that the janitor would be wearing a necklace with that penny around it, and that Zack did leave a penny in the door on the first day. We decided on that song. That's sweet. Yes. Johnny C's very funny in that,

and so, of course, is Miss Miller, Stephanie. Well, this is what I don't understand, though. Go ahead. He's like, you want a cat scan, tell him to shut up. And she tells you to shut up, and he's like, I'm gonna hook up the cat scan now. Yeah, he says I'm only gonna treat you properly if you tell this annoying guy to fuck off.

Yeah. That's great doctoring. I wish it worked like that. Yeah. Well, she gets all the tests, and we should also mention the other storyline is that Elliot doesn't want to tell JD Yeah. Well, she gets all the tests and... We should also mention the other storyline is that Elliot doesn't want to tell JD that she doesn't want to live with him anymore.

She randomly announces that she bought a house. That came out of nowhere, Bill. Why don't you calm down, dude? You know what? Enough of this horse shit. You guys all watch these shows that do 10 episodes a year. We did like 130 episodes a year, man. Yeah, we did. But it's so funny. We're in the middle of this musical,

and everyone's gathered around Carla's baby, and everyone's talking. All of a sudden, Ellie's like, I just bought a house. We're like, what? Where did that come from? And then they talk about- Carla doesn't want to tell Turk that she- Wants to come back to work.

Wants to come back to work. And then we end act one with this amazing Les Miserables homage, The Truth Comes Out, which mixes brilliantly, Bill. I'm worried about your ego being fed, so I'm gonna tell you it's brilliant. Mixing all the styles of all of Act I into the end of Act I, which I just recently watched

and is just so fucking good. We gotta give props, too. I know you said at the beginning there's a young writer on that show. I say young still, and I'm 1,000 years old. She's probably not as young anymore. Deb Fordham, who wrote this, she's a huge musical theater fan. You look for her name on TV shows, you'll dig her.

She definitely wrote all this stuff. She killed it. When I say Bill, I mean also the incredible Deb Fordham. Clap it up for her. And by the way, on the podcast, we try and credit the writer whose name is on the script each episode, but no, obviously, since this is in the news

and you know about it, it's a room of incredibly talented people working together to create something as good as this. And one robot. It's not. One of the games we do in the writer's room now, do you guys know I'm going to do it for the rest of the show, is when you're done with whatever beverage you have,

you keep fake drinking it and see if people notice. So I'm going to do that the rest of the thing. Okay. For the rest of the show? Okay. Okay, so when Elliot breaks the news to JD that... That she wants him to move out.

Right, and Carla tells Turk... Well, the act break happens first. Yeah, the act break happens after the Les Mis thing. And by the way, I thought it was really cool that J.D. pulls the curtain at the end of Act 1. That was really cool. But then after the act break it goes right into the love

Right, and I just want to mention briefly the love that I feel for you And I don't you're my you're my best friend and I don't think I'd tell you enough I wish there was some way that I could express myself I wish I really just wish there was some way that I could express myself. I wish... I really just wish there was some way in song that I could tell you about all these feelings I have in my heart. I feel them in my loins.

Oh, Matt, you're back. I didn't see you, Matt. Let's face the facts about me and you, a love unspecified. Though I'm proud to call you chocolate bear, the crowd will always stop and stare. I feel exactly those feelings too, that's why I keep them inside. Cause this bear can't bear the world's disdain. And sometimes it's easier to hide than explain.

Our guy love, that's all it is. Guy love, he's mine, I'm his. There's nothing gay about it in our eyes. You ask me about this thing we share. And he tenderly replies.

It's guy love between two guys. We're closer than the average man and wife That's why I'm matching bracelets, A-Turk and J.D. You know I'll stick by you for the rest of my life You're the only man who's ever been inside of me Yeah, baby Got up deep in there No, no, no, no, that's not

Got up deep No, no, no, Matt, Matt, Matt. Nope. No? Cut that down. Cut that down. You did not get up inside anything. If you want to refer to the script,

I just took out his appendix. Got it. I just took out his appendix. No, wait, let's go back. Let's go back. Matt, I need to be cued in. You're the only man who's ever been inside of me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I just took out his appendix.

Thank you. But after that. There's no need to clarify. Oh, no. Just let it grow more and more each day. It's like I married my best friend. But in a totally manly way. Let's go! It's guy love. Don't compromise the feeling of some other guy holding up your heart into the sky. I'll be there to care through all the lows. I'll be there to care through all the lows.

I'll be there to share the highs. Ow! It's God! Between two guys. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And when I say, I love you, Turk, it's not what it looks like. Between two guys And when I say I love you Turk It's not what it implies

It's guy love Between Two Between two guys. No hands. All right, I'm glad I didn't fuck that one up. That was beautiful, guys. Can I just be a nerd for a second? Bye, Matt.

Bye, Matt. Bye, Matt. Bye, Matt. Bye, Matt. Hey, make some noise for Matt, y'all. Make some noise for Matt. Matt! I just want to be a nerd for one second. Go ahead, Daniel.

I have obviously been a fan of this show for a long time. Go on. I cannot tell you the pure joy I am feeling on this stage with Joelle watching you two do that. Thank you. Well, it's real. You made everyone's day today, sir. It's real.

It's real. We do love each other. It's real. It's real love. I'm searching for a real love. Hey! Go ahead. Someone to set my heart free. Real love. Go ahead. Someone to set my heart free.

Real love. Go ahead. Keep going. I'm searching for the real love. Alright. Alright. So wait. Who takes forever? Okay. All right, so wait, we're, then we get to the-

Wu-Tang forever. Okay. Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu-Wu It's the first time he's had access to it. You honor me. Oh! For fuck's sake, just stop talking about your willies. All right, then we get to the tango. Okay, let's focus, Donald. I'm focused, I'm focused, I'm focused.

Look at the clock. Some of these people are babysitters. All right, listen. We got ten minutes, but I think we're gonna go over. We're gonna go over, we're gonna go over. We're gonna go over. If you have to leave, you can leave. Don't you dare fucking get up and walk out of here right now.

We've been abandoned. And as you want to see a motherfucker get hard on you, I'll straight up jump out in this and fight a motherfucker. I don't care. Wu-Tang forever. That's right. All right. Wu-Tang forever. That's right! All right. Wu-Tang forever. All right, the tango.

We get to the amazing tango. Bill, you don't have any water left. Everyone knows you don't have any water. The tango. So Judy, Bill... Fucking hell. This thing's gone off the rails. Judy had to come back from her injured pelvis to be able to dance like that. That number is incredible.

You are an incredible dancer. I love that number so much, the tango. Wait, you said he's an incredible dancer? I said you are. Oh, it sounded like you were talking to Bill. It was a joint question. I think everybody's pretty confident in guessing that I can't dance. I love that Todd has a line in the tango that he says, sorry, even I know she's Dominican.

Booyah! It comes out of nowhere and it made me laugh out loud. Even I know she... What do you say about your baby? Oh, what did she say? He's Blacksican. Yeah. Why do you tell J.D. our baby's Blacksican?

So does Turk think she's Mexican? Yeah. Yeah. He just doesn't know she's Dominican. What's that? Yeah, you are. Oh, nice. She just yelled, we're Mexican?

Okay, great. Awesome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Zach, behind you. But in Spanish. But in Spanish. Okay, we're winding down.

So, I thought it was funny that I'm trying to diss Elliot and I say, you're closer to 40 than 30. And she goes, JD, I'm 29. That's such a fucked up thing to say to a 29-year-old. Dude, we told Elliot that she looked like Gary Busey, too, though. Yeah.

You must have given Sarah such a complex. You looked like Gary Busey, too, though. Yeah. Okay? You must have given Sarah such a complex. You fucking brought Gary Busey to the hospital, and you told her people can't tell the difference between you and Gary Busey. And by the way, if you guys go back and look, there's one shot. I think there's a shot of her ID badge or a picture that it's Gary Busey when the camera goes by, when it goes back, it's Sarah with that explanation.

Wow. All right, the end is a beautiful homage to Rent. You're going to be okay. That's what's going to happen. All right. Everything's okay. I love that song. Okay, yes, and I love that song, too.

So okay, I love that song. Okay. Yes, and I love that song too. The show is It's a musical up until I mean it's a musical all the way through but up until that point It's very fun And we're joking around about you know, how sick this young lady is and how funny it is that she's hearing Singing and everything like that, but then all of a sudden the show takes a really sharp turn Once we start singing and everything like that, but then all of a sudden the show takes a really sharp turn once we start singing. And it's beautiful. I mean, we can say it because we didn't write it. It's so fucking beautiful.

No, wait, but props to you guys. Eventually people are going to realize that Shrinking Ted Lasso and Scrubs are the same show. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's okay, I'm joking, I'm joking. I'm joking. Did you say that to get a woo? I think you did. That's a joke. The nice thing I was about to say was I love doing broad, silly comedy that then switches gears and is hopefully emotional and hopefully people give a shit and they get

emotionally invested. You can't do it unless you have hyper-talented people like these two and the rest of the cast. It's really hard. There were so many times... Thank you. It really is. It's really, really hard. And every one of you is amazing at it. Thank you for that. There were so many times where Donald and I would read the script

and see that there was this hairpin turn from crazy fantasy to just something super emotional. And there were so many times I thought, he's never going to be able to pull that off. That is way too sharp a turn. Every single time he did. This one was a really sharp turn. I look over at my wife and Casey's

bawling. When you just re-watched it. Same. We're watching it and she's bawling. Are you married or your fiance? We get married in September. Oh, congratulations. Is everyone invited? Is everyone here invited?

Zach, Donald and I went. And everyone's invited. Everybody here is invited. We're going to have to get a bigger venue, Daniel. Joel, Donald and I went to that. It was amazing. We had such a good time. Will you live Twitch your wedding for these people?

Oh, my God. For sure. All right, yes, guys. Twitch.tv slash DJ Daniel. What is he saying? What did they say? Is someone behind me? I don't know if someone's behind me.

It's an inside joke. There's people here who watch the stream. Oh, people know your Twitch stream? Yes, there is. Clap if you watch Daniel's Twitch stream. That is very kind of you.

Well, Daniel's gonna come say hi to the seven of you after the show. And I will. He'll sign your game controller. I want to have an inside joke. What? I want to have an inside joke.

You have many inside jokes. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast. This season will be even more revealing and more personal with more entrepreneurs, more trailblazers, more live events, more Martha, and more questions from you. I'm talking to my cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Dan Belkin, about the secrets behind my skincare. Walter Isaacson, about the geniuses who change the world. Encore Jane about creating a billion-dollar startup. Dr. Elisa Pressman about

the five basic strategies to help parents raise good humans. Florence Fabricant about the authenticity in the world of food writing. Be sure to tune in to season two of the Martha Stewart podcast. Listen and subscribe to the Martha Stewart podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So we, of course, didn't want to come all the way out here and not do a Q&A for y'all. So we want to end this beautiful show. It's sponsored by T-Mobile.

We should thank T-Mobile for sponsoring this whole thing. T-Mobile! Do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do. So Daniel is going to come out into the audience with a microphone, a la Phil Donahue. And those of you who get chosen...

We got a T-Mobile mic. Check us out. Woo-woo! Those of you who are chosen to ask a question will get a signed Good Person Blu-ray DVD. And these are the first ones I've ever signed, so there are very few of them. Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. No. Yes. Or. Or.

Go ahead. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. Or. A slightly used Cougar Town hat. Wow. Now look. Now look. Look, look, look. I didn't sign this and my son wore it for a couple weeks, look, look, look. I didn't sign this,

and my son wore it for a couple weeks, but it's mostly new. Okay, so after you ask your question, you will have a choice. It's from the bar that the character Grayson ran. All right, you will have a choice between a hat that Bill's sweaty teenage boy wore or a signed Good Person Blu-ray DVD. All right.

Daniel, do your thing. Get out there. Y'all got questions? Put your hands in the air. Put your hands in the air. Put your hands in the air. Go ahead. Go for it, Daniel. I see someone jumping for joy. All right. Go for it, Daniel. We're going down. Hello, everybody. Hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello.

Oh, thank you. What's your name? Rosie. Rosie, where are you from? I'm just kidding. You're from Seattle. Vancouver. All right, Daniel, she can hold the mic. You don't need to do a whole bar mitzvah thing.

All right, go ahead. I like it. Hey, guys, how's it going? How are you? Aloha. Great, thank you. How are you? Excellent.

We're so happy to be here. Where are you from? Originally from London, but now in Vancouver. Oh, well. Wait, you came from Vancouver to here? Yeah. Yo, what's up? Yeah!

Anybody else come from out of state? Oh, wow! That's amazing. Wait, if you think you came the farthest, Detroit? Anybody further from Detroit? Way up top in the white shirt. What are you yelling? No, that's pretty good, dude. San Diego. San Diego's not farther than Detroit.

I don't know geography. Mexico. Mexico. Florida. Indiana. Mexico City's big. Blue shirt, where are you from? Indiana. Florida. Indiana. Mexico City's big. Blue shirt, where you from? Indiana, Florida.

Okay, guys, guys. Chicago. Anybody come from out of the country? Where? Out of the country? Australia in the mother fucking house. Wow. Australia.

Yo, what's your name, what's your name? Yo, get that guy. Huh? Mitch. Mitch from Australia, make some noise for him, y'all. Oh! Mitch wins, Mitch wins. Wow.

All right. Go ahead, my darling, go ahead. Hello, hi. Sorry, I just wanted to say, me and my buddy Nate, we used to watch your show back in high school in London. You used to. We still do, sorry, alright, okay. Daniel, can you cut that?

Yes! By the way, you're like Bill, only Donald and I get to direct Daniel. Sorry, I'm sorry. So I'm a visual effects artist and I wanted to know if you had the opportunity to go back and redo any episode

with maximum budget and maximum VFX, what would you do? Shit. Yo. Okay, so look, there's a couple of them. If we could go back

and do maximum budget scrubs, what episode would it be? While you guys are thinking, I'm going to say a trivia thing for them. But think. Get a good answer because I'm not going to answer it. The most expensive thing we ever did on Scrubs, believe it or not, we did a $68,000 joke because we had to dig a 10-foot hole in the cement. By the way, I was such an idiot because I was a kid.

And they're like, can't we just fake it? I'm like, no, the guy needs to drive into the hole and disappear. Well, we had to do, well, because it's so dangerous to put me and a stuntman in a trench that you build in asphalt in a parking lot of an old hospital. So they had to spend like weeks shoring it up, two different holes. And the stuntman, it was my episode I directed, and the stuntman drives into the first hole ruining a perfectly good Sasha.

Yeah, but did you know, because he kept, in rehearsal, he kept floating up, he had to have weights in his pocket to make him sink. Yeah, which is very safe. Super safe. And it's a one-er, it doesn't cut. I'm hiding in the second hole,

the camera pans, and they banged as hard as they could on the asphalt so that underwater in the second hole, I could hear them and pop up and go, where was I? And that's where I, of course, met Julian, the manatee who lives beneath the hospital. Anyways, though, what episode would you do? Well, my answer would be the fairy tale episode,

the Princess Bride episode, because it was the one that would demand the fairy tale episode, the Princess Bride episode, because it was the one that would demand the most visual effects. You know what episode bums me out? It's a trivia question for you guys, but that was exactly when that aired, the last writer's strike, and NBC was trying, I wasn't allowed to work, and they was like, well, maybe we'll just end Scrubs. I don't know if you remember, they put that show on like it was the finale of the series,

and it pissed me off, and that's when we show on like it was the finale of the series. And it pissed me off, and that's when we moved the show to ABC the next year. Yeah. And that episode got a lot of... I've spoken about this on the podcast, but that episode got a lot of shit because some people were like, what kind of finale is this?

And we were like, this was never intended to be the finale. And we put so much work into it. Please love it. If I had to choose an episode that we could put all of the money into it, it would be Zach's first directed episode where we go looking for Heather Graham. When I was a kid-

Donald, I still laugh to this day when Zach goes down the zip- Molly? I was one of the greatest nights of my life. I mean, I grew up wanting to make movies, and I grew up dreaming of doing this, and Bill finally gives me an episode, and I'm directing myself on the Universal Studios back lot

in the middle of the night. We hung out on the back to the picture set. Repelling across the street, landing, not to mention the crush I had on Heather Graham my whole life, landing and being like, Molly? One of the best nights of my life. Yeah, I remember that night very well because we were on bikes

and you were like, follow me. And I was like, alright. And we went on a little excursion. You took me back to the future. I saw a clock tower and everything. Alright, next question. You guys pick. Oh yeah, bring her a DVD.

She's like, where the fuck's my DVD? Next question. You pick, I'll run the thing out. Alright, I'm going to pick. She's like, where the fuck's my DVD, dog? Next question. Right, right, right. You pick. I'll run the thing out. All right, I'm going to pick. It's Scrubs onesie. You deserve it. If a man wears a onesie. I got you, dog.

I got you. Go ahead. I got you. I'm going to get you in a sec. Go ahead. Hey. Hi. I'm Leo.

Hi, Leo. What's up, Leo? Leo! You don't have to yell everyone's name. My bad. Leo! First and foremost, obviously a huge fan of all of you. We can't tell.

Remember the Titans is my favorite movie of all time. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going to collect those flowers, and I'm going to put those flowers in some water. Okay? I'm going to let that, and I'm gonna put those flowers in some water, okay? I'm gonna let that grow.

Okay, go ahead. He collected his flowers. Is there any stunt that you all did? Obviously, there were some things you had stunt doubles do, some things you guys did yourself. I know a lot of pratfalls, what have you, that you really hurt yourself that you kind of, looking back on it, you... Oh, yeah, I literally got a hernia.

I had to go to the hospital because I tore... I'd show you, but it would be weird. But, um... No, there might be pubis mons. But anyway, I ripped my hernia and I had to have that fixed. I don't think they checked my poo, no.

It's a valid question. I don't think they check poo when they know it's a hernia, but I'm just a fake doctor, not a real one. Do you know who else got a hernia? Robert Mash, the Todd, got a hernia when he was in a thong banging into the window. We really fucked up. I mean, Donald, you didn't have a ton of breath holes.

I have the worst fucking back now at 48 because of... Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying I do have a fucked back from making America laugh for nine years. You said you had somebody over here. Hey.

All right, go, call. Daniel. Right down there had somebody over here. Hey. All right, go, Colin. Daniel. Right down there. Young lady with a glass. No, you! Wait, hold on. I'm coming.

I'm coming. Daniel's coming. Daniel, a little quick. Did you give him his DVD? I got the, yeah, I gave him. I got it. OK. Here you go.

You get both. She shouldn't get a DVD before her question, Daniel. What if the question's horrible? Listen, I promise. Oh, my God. Okay. She shouldn't get a TBD before her question, Tanel. What if the question's horrible? Listen, I promise it's a good one. Okay, okay. She wants the hat. You know, nobody wants the fucking hat. I mean, I might.

I might. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're going to get the question. You get the hat. I might want the hat for my four-year-old. But, anyways. You go first. You go first.

Oh, please, Bill. Go ahead. My name is Christiana. Hi, Christiana. Christiana! Sorry. Christiana. Say it again.

I love it. Christiana! Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Christiana! We knew Oprah was going to show up. All right, go ahead. Okay. So sorry. First, I'd like to say that my biology right, go ahead. Okay. So sorry.

First, I'd like to say that my biology teacher in high school got us into Scrubs. He had a Scrubs club during the SRT time. Yeah, now it's been 15 years later. And ironically, Zach, super huge crush, super huge crush. And my husband has the same birthday as you. Why is that ironic? That's wonderful. It's awesome. It's awesome. That's like an Alanis Morissette irony. That's not a real irony.

I'm pretty sure I wish you happy birthday more than I wish him happy birthday. That's like rain on your wedding day. It did rain on our wedding day. There you go. Anyways, my question is, we work in the orthopedic manufacturing industry and Donald did the orthopedic rotation with the shorter surgeon if I remember correctly and so I just wanted to know if you had the choice what specialty would you go into if you were a real doctor Donald If I could go into actual doctoring, what kind of doctoring would I be? Something with like the... Penis. No, I'm not going to say penis. Would I be... Uh, something with, like, the...

Penis. Penis. No, I'm not gonna say penis. Whether it be a poop... Or a finger. I don't know if you guys heard the episode where Donald asked the urologist if the taint had its own specialty. I would... Yes, I would be... I would totally be a taint doctor.

There you go. He would be a taint specialist. That would be my specialty. The first in his field. Yeah, yeah. Alright, next question. Yes, right here. This woman right in the middle.

Daniel, where are you? I'm right here. Alright, get to her. Can I get a DVD? Alright. Sneaking through. Oh God, I'm sorry. You I get a DVD? All right. We're sneaking through. Oh, God, I'm sorry. You got to get up to the balcony.

We're getting close. There's mad people up there. Here you are. Okay. Hi, I'm Deej. I'm from New Westminster up in Canada. Hey! Okay, first quick props.

DJ Daniel, live your Twitch. Clone High, so happy it's back. Yeah, it is. Janelle, you are our goddess. Okay, so the question is for Zach. So you've actually worked with Jason Sudeikis twice, from when he hosted Saturday Night Live, and then on directing him.

So what were the experiences like in difference, or the same, with working with him from back then to now? Well, that's a great question. I was lucky enough to host SNL, one of the greatest experiences of my life. And, yeah, you can find it on the web if you ever get a chance. One of my life goals was to do it. The Internet Archive. Yeah, there you go.

And so Jason was amazing on that show and so funny. I think the big focus was that Ted Lasso was his baby. It was all about him. And he and Bill and the others who created that brilliant show really crafted around that character that Jason had come up with. So that was the big difference. It was like SNL is an ensemble and you're kind of star for the week, whereas Lasso obviously was his baby and all about that. But directing that episode of Lasso was one of the most fun things I ever made.

So I'm glad you liked it. I got nominated for it. I did. I did for it. Thank you. You got nominated, yo. The biscuits, biscuits, biscuits. You got nominated, yo.

You're my hype man. I love you. All right, go ahead. Yes. Yes, go ahead. Yes, right there. Well, well, well. Okay, how you doing?

How you doing? I am so glad you're in Seattle tonight. Guys, this is Mr. T-Mobile right here. These are our friends from T-Mobile, guys. T-Mobile, yeah. Thank you for having us. So we've done some fun stuff with you all. Yes. The Super Bowl. Yes, we loved it.

The question is, who's the next neighbor who's going to join you next season? There you go. I don't know if, Donald, if you have your dream. Well, you know who I want. Did someone say Kevin Bacon? If you didn't, that's a funny idea, though. You guys from T-Mobile should take notes

on all ideas that come up. Who would you guys most like to just yell out? Who would you most like to see join us on the cul-de-sac? I hear Bruce. Bruce? Yeah, like the boss. Oh, the boss. That's probably going to be too expensive for them.

We're very lucky to have you guys up in here tonight. Thank you very much. How about a question from the balcony? Yeah, from the balcony. Yeah. Go ahead. This person's really excited about it. All right, Daniel.

What do we got? What do we got? Be right here. Don't hurt yourself up there, Daniel. This has been a lot of time for it not to be about me. Hi. Hi. Hey.

My name's Maggie. What's up, Maggie? So my sister and my brother and I, he's not here, but we've been watching your show since we were kids and hiding behind the couch while our mother watched it because we loved the fantasy so much, and it was past our bedtime and she didn't let us watch it um so it's past my bedtime now yeah you can you can stay up as much as you fucking want now you can go nuts so my question to all of you guys is what was your favorite fantasy? Oh, when I played Indiana Jones!

And I went up in that motherfucker's colon! And extracted the tumor. Mine was when we were... I was younger, the writer's room of Scrubs was occasionally a little bit, Zach used to call it stonerific. And we, I remember delivering it to you, Donald, and you're like, huh?

But we wrote a super long, like two and a half minute fantasy that Donald and Judy raised a pumpkin as their child. Oh my God! Yes! Yes! And it was long. I mean, it's got to be the longest fantasy of the whole thing. My favorite part was we didn't have the end.

We just were a little high. We wanted him to raise the pumpkin. And I think it was Neil Goldman that said, at the end, after they drop the pumpkin, their actual son should come walking over and get hit by a bus. I remember that. I dressed up as a younger version of myself

and I'm like, Mom? Dad? What about when we planted his testicle and it grew? Well, you grew all that. You grew another Donald, but he wasn't a good Turk. Plant Turk.

What about when they used my prosthetic nut as a heater? And they were all standing around it like... And then when they come back to the hospital, Maschio has burn marks all over his face. Meaning he put his face

on Donald's nuts. And I think he says something like, best trip ever. Best trip ever, yeah. You guys, I have children. I have, like, children of them. I remember the fantasy I remember of being the craziest is when Donald was Goat Turk.

Bad. And I'm like, stay away from my mermaid Goat Turk. Yeah, it was Kerry Russell. My bad. All right, here we go. Let's do one more in the balcony. You got to point him out. I'm too nervous about picking somebody.

Okay, the guy from Australia, for fuck's sake. He came all the way from Australia. The guy from Australia? Yeah. Are you the Mitch? Oh, wow. Mitch from Australia. Not the first Mitch from Australia on the podcast.

No, it's the second one. Lead, welcome. All right, good. Thank you very podcast. No, it's the second one. Welcome. All right, guys. Thank you very much. Oh, shit. Okay. Okay. Is there any chance, Donald, that you would eagle a 220-pound Australian?

Give him a short eagle. Bring your ass down here. Oh, yeah. Yeah, come on down. Bring him down. Come on down. Come on. Bring your ass down here. Yeah, come on down. Bring him down. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey, hey, hold on.

He the only one that gonna get an eagle tonight because I got bad back. Okay? This can't turn into a line of motherfuckers being like, I got an eagle. If you guys say we don't deliver, Donald is gonna eagle a grown man from Australia. You say we don't deliver. Donald is going to eagle a grown man from Australia. My back hurt just talking about it. While we're doing that, we'll do one more.

Yeah, we should go down here. Right here. Yes, ma'am, right here. Go ahead. Bill. I got you. I got you. Zach, there's someone behind you.

So anyway, we're from Mexico City, and the only reason we're here is because we are huge fans of Scrubs. Thank you so much. And the other thing is very unusual because my name is Marta Cristiana, and I've never met anyone that's named like me. Wow. And you are Cristiana.

Wait, there's another one. There's three of you here? What? No, no, no. And Bill's middle fucking name. No, I, you know what? I don't accept this. Bring your ass up in one hand and say,

let me eagle you. Come on up, yes, I'll hold it for you. That's awesome. All right. Give it up for Mitch from Australia one time. Hop on. Motherfucker, hop on. Did you stretch?

Eagle! Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast.
