Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was gonna ask you if you think I can
pull off a headband. Yeah, but that's not a headband.
That's like a that's like a No, it's a thick Well,
it's not a rap. It's a I have long hair now,
and before you it's not like a do rag. What
are you laughing at? You? Press record? Yes, okay, it's
not a do rag. It's I didn't think it was

(00:23):
a do rag. It looks more like a like you know,
when young ladies go out but they haven't got their
hair dead right, they put something over it. Not necessarily
a do rag, but like a it's something that keeps
the hair back tight and everything like that. Yeah, or
what or what? Ladies are taking off their makeup and
they put this to keep their hair off their face. Yes,

(00:44):
it looks like that. I'm not saying now, I'm not
saying it's just made for ladies. I'm sure it was
made for working out right, But right now your face
has pulled so far back that you look like you
might have gotten a little botox in it. That's how
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not sure
if I can pull it off. You never ever buy
something and you're auditioning how you feel about it. No,
I don't have the luxury of doing that. I try

(01:05):
that shit on at the store, so I it's a headbar,
probably cost eight bucks. But I'm trying out to see
if I because I have long hair now, I've had
a haircut in a very long time. My hair is
always in my face. Here's a problem. I usually rocket
baseball hat. I'm trying to shake it up, but I
don't know that it's working, especially with all this judgment.
I don't know if it's gonna stay around. Here's a
problem with you know, getting things in the mail and

(01:27):
stuff like that, trying things on and you got to
send it back, and sending it back takes way more
effort than it would if you just went to the
store and you try it on at the store. You
got to go to the freaking post office or the
wherever you get wherever you send your stuff out. You
gotta get a box. It has to get weighed. There's

(01:47):
so many things that come. I would prefer if I
was gonna get something like that, do not have to
return it. But I would have stayed. I mean, you
like it, so it's all good. But if you didn't
like it. It would have been a pain in the
ass for you to take that. Well, I hear what
you're saying about more expensive things. I wouldn't have returned
this tiny piece of cloth. I would have handed it

(02:08):
off to my girlfriend and said, use this for your makeup.
I don't know, but I'm trying it out because listen,
I'm working out, as you know. Yeah, and my hair
is everywhere. My hair is very long, so I'm trying
to get it off off, you know, out out of
my way. It looks good. I'm not gonna look at mine.
I don't I feel. I feel you're not gonna lie

(02:29):
to you. It looks good. It makes you look so
much younger. I feel your judgment. So you're saying I
fear saying it's my skin back like botox. Yeah. Absolutely.
I feel like when said quarantine is over, you should
test that out on the masses and wear that out.
I don't think people. I think our next super friend

(02:51):
already said it's My girlfriend already said it's like it's
very broy, it's like a bro thing. I didn't like
that adjective. Oh well, you know, bro, did you know
that places like Hoboken they call it ho ho broken broken, No,
ho broken. Like there's a lot of bros and hope

(03:12):
there's always been a lot of bro It's like a
lot of college kid bro baseball head backwards. Say no,
not bro Boken. That's what they call it bro Boken.
Bro Boken. Oh yeah, because you you lived there, right
for like a half a year. I lived in Jersey
and all I heard was you're going to Broboken. Dude,
where would you go out? Um, when you were like
going for drinks with friends, would you go to Broboken? No?

(03:34):
I have a chilling downtown Jersey City, Jersey City. I've
never I've never had a drink in Jersey City in
my life. Well, Jersey City is gentrified. Apparently, Jersey City
used to be a very very different neighborhood than how
it is now, and gentrification happened, and it was a
bunch of warehouses also, so like if you lived in
Jersey City, you lived amongst warehouses and so now it's

(03:55):
like stuff anyway, So bro Boken, Yes, best sushi I've
ever had in Jersey Okay, the name of the place
is called Saku Saku, Yeah in Jersey City. Or where
was your or or I should say Hoboken And where
was your favorite bar in Jersey City? If people want
to go, do you remember the name I Saku out?

(04:16):
I would. I would go to saku like all the time.
My favorite Oh boy, sah, my favorite bar to go to. However,
in Jersey City was definitely I would. I would find
myself at Hudson Hall. Hudson Hall. All right, Well, if
you're in Jersey City, everybody support Jersey bars and go
to Hudson Hall and ask them where Donald Fhazon sat

(04:39):
and you can rub your cheeks on on the stool.
Well you could do that, That's that's fine, or you
could just go and have a drink. Tell them I
sent Sarah. Do is your audio work now? No? It
does not, It does not. Dan do you guys? I
want you to know that Dan had a private session
with Sarah this time to talk her through her audio.

(05:00):
And I don't know what it is, but she's just,
I think it's safe to say, not tech savvy. She
has to have some skill when it comes to tech.
She does voice over, she had a prior I know,
how about the Rick and Morty people don't have to
put up with this? Okay, okay, now I'm unplugging my headphones.
Do you hear me? Now? Okay? Good? Perfect? For the
love okay, Dan, Dan, Now you gotta record that. Can

(05:24):
you please edit this out? This is absolutely request as
a matter of fact, Box six seven eight stories about
show we made about a bunch of dots and nurses
and stories. Yeado around you here, yadoo around here. M good.

(06:00):
I want to do the five. Well, you know what,
you didn't You didn't deserve it. You don't deserve that.
We'll see how you perform on the show and if
you're if you're good enough, we'll let you do the
end one. Okay, is anyone else hearing opera? No? No,
something's playing music. This is incredible. Maybe maybe on the

(06:23):
iTunes app on your iPad um someone accidentally hit opera. Yeah,
but it's weird. That totally fixed it. That totally that
totally fixed it. But it was a Pepper Pig episode.
I didn't know they did opera and Pepper Pig. But oh,
oh my god, Pepper Pig has made a return in house.

(06:44):
I thought we were doing with Pepper Pig. Will you
tell people that don't have children, what the hell pepper
Pepper Pig is a British show cartoon about a pig
named Pepper, and it starts off high. I'm Pepper Pig.
This is my brother George, this is Mummy Pig, and
this is Daddy Pig. And each time she is this
is one of the pigs. Right, well, Susie Sheep's her

(07:06):
best friend. Every time they introduce one of the pigs,
they snort. So, I'm Pepper Pig, this is my brother George,
this is Mummy Pig, and this is Daddy Pig. It's okay.
And what are they going adventure? I'm assuming they go
on adventures and no, they go to school. It's like
a kids show for it's like to help with etiquette,

(07:27):
and you know, like how you're supposed to react to
helps you. It helps you to react like Pepper and
her family do to certain things. Well, because they're like proper,
they're good. They're like, no, it's not that well, I mean,
I guess you could say British folks are proper. That's
that's one way. Well, I just mean like they have
good etiquette, they have good manners, right, they definitely have

(07:48):
good like you can't jump in muddy puddles unless you
wear your boots. Okay, that's one of the main rephrases,
jumping up and down in muddy puddles, splish splash this
oh gosh um. But also it's incredibly funny, as most
British humor is. And like my fourteen year old nephew,

(08:09):
who I'll like never be as cool as him ever.
Um was watching Pepper Pig with with Frankie, who was
three at the time, and he was like, yeah, you
gotta get over here, you gotta come watch this. It
was like the most I was doubled over. I'm sending
you guys the link, and you're not going to believe
the humor in this. It's sigh, oh my god. The

(08:31):
one about where she can't whistle. She's like whistling like
this and hangs it right up on Susie sheet. I mean,
it's funny, gold, It's amazing. I'm sending it. Okay, So
Trader Joe's, Yes, Trader Joe's. They do not have a
Trader Joe's here, and people all of my friends drive
over the border to go get Trader Joe's and ring back.
But they also there's a company. There was like some

(08:52):
article about what I was telling everyone while you while
you were while you were doing this, there was like
there was a store that was like, fuck it, We're
just gonna make our own store. They went across the
border b and just sold the ship at their store. Right. Yes,
what was it called trader I can't remember a long
time ago, Trader Jane or something totally. Yeah, I know,
it's a it's a whole Uh, it's a whole thing. Tiny.

(09:13):
How long? How long what do you How long will
it take would it take you wherever you are to
get in the United States across the border? Oh it's
not long, Um, like two hours? Okay, so you're not
that far. Yeah? Yeah, I miss you two we were taught.
We've been talking about how we never see you and
we miss your face. I miss you guys too. We

(09:36):
got the band back together on zoom. No, look at this,
the band's back together on the band is back together.
We can't do our handshake virtually Donald and make Zack jealous.
He doesn't like I think jealous. I never you whenever
people do those like epically long handshakes. I I frowned,
but only because I I've never been involved with one
and I couldn't possibly remember it, so maybe I'm just jealous.

(10:00):
I have a very long one with Sarah Chuck, and
I have a very long one with Breck and Meyer.
Those are the only two handshakes that I have in
my life where I'm like, Jeesus is a long ass
and shake. Could you and Sarah get right back into
it without fault right now? You think, oh yeah, get
a girl running man, you get it. So we were

(10:22):
talking the last episode about your your epic. We were
talking about your your epic. I told you so dance
and how long it was. Oh my god, that's so funny.
People send me that at different moments in my life
over social media. That was one of those fun times
on Scrubs, Like what a unique job when you get
to do this where Bill was just like the line

(10:44):
in the script that I told you so, and he said,
instead of saying that, just make up like a song
and a dance, and I told you so a song
and dance, And it's just you know, it's not frequently
you have to do that on the job, so it's fun. Well,
do you remember getting down into the splits. Yeah, it's
hard to get out of them. I remember getting down
into it and being like and I'm stuck. I was

(11:07):
gonna say, there's some video I think on one of
the gagriels where people can watch on usually if you're
if you're interested, where Sarah just kept going and going
and going with her I told you so dance and
they only could put a short piece of it in
the show, but it like it went on for like
a full minute. I think, oh yeah, they didn't cut,
so I just kept going and then brought in some

(11:28):
French and German like I told you so in German,
which is yeah, it's him to kept kazakht because obviously,
after being tortured going to German school twice a week
for my entire upbringing, anytime I can, you know, feel
that it's actually it's only been useful in scrubs. That's
the only time I've ever used my German. Really Yeah,
but would go to international upfronts and stuff like that,

(11:49):
it was always he When you do press, you must
be very popular with the French and German press, I
would think. Because Sarah is fully trilingual, not anymore. I
was as a kid French. I still I can speak,
but after my grandmother died, we don't really speak German. Anymore.
So I've lost so much of it. But I but
French I still have because that was you know, all day,

(12:12):
everyday school was in French, like math, science, pe everything.
I'm so jealous of people. I wish multiple language. I
wish I could speak multiple languages. Man. Like I tried
to get the Rosetta stone, and I do failed at it,
you know what I mean? But I failed at it. No,
you didn't fail at it. You just didn't commit Donald.
That's that that that you know what, that's a better

(12:33):
way to look at it. That's a that's a that's
a better way to look at it. But you know,
I probably could have been grade at basketball if I
dedicated a lot of time to it. I mean, I'm
not saying I would have been like had natural super skills,
but I always think of it like like, you know,
it's what you dedicate time and focus and energy too.
You know what, You're absolutely right because I know a
lot of people who didn't play sports growing up and

(12:55):
put a lot of energy into sports when they got older,
meaning like tennis or golf or something like that, and
now they are very good at those sports, right I imagine.
I just I just want to clarify for yourself, for
your own psyche that you could probably be You could
easily become bilingual if you cared enough to if you

(13:16):
dedicated the hours you dedicate to animation to learn a language,
I probably, I probably would be fluent. What language would
you choose? What language? I could choose a language that's interesting.
I would choose Spanish because here we are living in
California and it feels like makes the most sense to
be able to speak with so many Spanish speakers that

(13:38):
are here. Yeah, Spanish is a good one. Uh wow.
Also probably a good one. Now, French is a good one.
But if I could choose, I would want to choose
something that's like out of the ordinary. Hebrew, I would
I would love to learn here. That would be great. Actually,
oh my god, you speaking Hebrew in Israel would be

(14:00):
one of the one of the most amazing things. Can
you just do it, please, We'll do it together. We'll
do it together. That would be great. Well, So, Sarah,
we were talking about sports stuff like that, and I
thought you wanted to say something. Go ahead, Oh no,
I just want to say two things. Um. One that yes, Donald,

(14:21):
pick a language and absolutely master it in terms of languages.
I kind of cheated because I was a kid, and
I feel as a kid, it's like it's just insert.
It's like a gift into your brain. It's so easy,
and as an adult it's so much harder. But but sports,
I'm I'm living proof that what Zach just said is
not true about you could play basketball and become really good.
I devoted so much time in my youth to basketball.

(14:43):
It's all I wanted, and I wanted it's so bad.
And I tried out for the basketball team in grade five,
grade six, grade seven, I was at our neighbor's hoop
in the pouring rain in Canada, practicing every day. And
then tryouts for grade seven basketball came and I was like,
this is my year. The basketball came from across the court,
hit me, we're in the face and started a series
of like crazy nosebleeds, but lasted for months until I

(15:04):
got my nose cautter eyes. But anyways, I kept trying
out for the team, and I kept practicing, and I'd
take like camps and I would I would try so hard.
And finally, in grade ten, and I was still the
shortest kid in the class, I grew and I was
like really like eighteen or something. So I finally made
the team. And Blake, who you both met, who's my

(15:25):
brother in law, was two years older and was my
coach and makes fun of me till this day. And
I made the team, but I spent the whole time
on the bench. But I was like, I didn't care
because I had a jersey and I was on the
team and I was getting on the bus with all
of my buddies to go to the game, and that's
all I wanted. And we had a really good team.
And they would put me on a center forward as
like a joke when we were beating the other team
like seventy to four, and I'd be like jumping, drying,

(15:49):
like and I was all effort, no skill, so trying
so hard and just yeah, well, you know what, you
made the team. So all of that practice it off,
and you got to run up and down a couple
of for a couple of minutes during every game that year.
I'm sure I do think a lot of people say,
and I'm including myself on this, like oh I suck

(16:11):
at that, Oh I suck at that. Oh I can't cook,
Oh I can't drive a motorcycle. Oh, I can't play basketball.
And it's like, no, well maybe you're not amazing at it,
but you never dedicated any fucking time to trying. Right, Well,
there is that, there is there is that. There is that.
Like I say all the time, I can't write, and
I'm gonna be honest with you, I can imagine so much,

(16:34):
and I can and I can and I can come
up with so many stories. You know what. I've never done. No,
you know what, I've never practiced trying to write it
into trying to write it down. I've always worked well,
I've got this idea and somebody's like, oh, you should
write it down, and I'm like, oh, no, I'm not
a writer. How would I ever know if I don't

(16:54):
sit down and I put the pen to pad. Of course,
just to just imagine something you love, like in your
case would be animation or basketball or golf. Imagine all
those hours you had been in a writing class, right,
you know you'd probably be a fucking amazing writer, right right,
or or or practicing not just sitting in a class. Well,
it's like you said, I would learn how to write.

(17:16):
That doesn't necessarily mean I'd be a great writer. I
might not be great at it. But I would be
able to understand structure, and I would understand you know
how to tell us you would still get way better.
You would get way better even if no matter where
you're starting it, will you become of the greatest writers
of all time. No, but if you but you'd be,
you'd I guarantee you, with practice, you'd be. You'd be

(17:37):
pretty darn good. I feel like, you know, you get
you get put in a box as a kid of
the things you can and can't do so early. And
you know, for me, that was singing. I was in
grade five and Missus McKinnon was like, chalk girls, just
mouth the words for this performance to my sister and
I when we were singing Christmas carols in a mall
for like some school, not a fancy choir, like a
school choir. And I feel like it was like that

(18:00):
moment where I love nothing more than musical theater and
was doing musical theater after school, and it just completely
shut me down and put me in this box of like, oh,
that's something that I can't do, so I stopped working
at it and learning and trying. And who knows where
you would have gotten if you would have kept going. Yeah,
you could have been adele Epennine in lame is Well

(18:23):
you think it's you think. I remember a kid I
went to school with could not really sing that well.
He could barely hold a tune, you know what I mean.
But he could play the piano really, really well. Right
when he graduated. He's gone on now to write songs.
He performs all the time. He's an amazing artist, you

(18:45):
know what I mean. But I remember when he couldn't sing.
He could sing his ass off, now, you know what
I mean. My little brother Alami day when he was
in a band called Imagine. When he auditioned for the
band Imagine, he sang show tunes because that's all he knew.
I think it's auditioned with something like, you know, the
song of Peter I Won't Grow Up. I think that

(19:11):
was his audition for the band, and they were like, well,
the kid can the kid can hold a tune, Let's
see if we can work with him. Now, my little brother,
he has music that he works on all the time
and he tries to get it out and he's you know,
he's doing his thing as a musician, and he's a
very good singer, and he sings. If you ask me,
he sings better than a lot of the motherfucker's out
right now. But that's just how do we how do

(19:32):
we hear his music? Need him? Plus? Yeah, we'll shout
him out at your old lammy day. Uh why oh
uh oh l A M I d E. I think
that's it, I, you know, to be honest with you,
I wasn't expecting to shout him out like that, but
I think that's his handle on Instagram. Uh, And we'll

(19:54):
fix it if it's not. Anyway, he worked really hard
to get where he was, so I understand, I understand
the premise. That doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be no,
the greatest. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. An epiphany
I had in my own life, you know, in my
in my twenties, was, you know, stop saying you suck
at X, Y and Z. And it's not that you don't,

(20:16):
but it's because you haven't dedicated any interest. And it
comes at any time, and it becomes it comes with interest.
So the things that we're all interested in in our
own lives, our own hobbies and things outside of being
an actor, will dedicate countless hours too. For me. One
of my hobbies is photography. I will be online looking
at cameras and playing with new cameras, you know, for

(20:36):
endless hours. Now I could be dedicating that time to
something else and get quite good at that thing. So
it's just foolish just say like, oh I suck at that.
You might, but it's it's not because you you you,
it's in your bones. It's because you didn't dedicate any
commitment to time. That's all I'm right, I agree with.
And that also goes for learning lines also, yes, sure,

(20:58):
just putting it out. Yeah. Donald always used to say,
and always does, say, oh I can't learn lines. That's bullshit.
You were fucking high watching basketball. That was That was honest.
That's the honest, to goodness truth. And when I stopped
doing all of that, I found that learning lines was
actually very easy to do. When you just look. If
you can't learn it in two hours, there's something wrong,

(21:19):
you know what I mean? You should really think about
finding other exercises to do when it comes to line learning.
That is, it's just a matter of practice. For me.
By the way, we should just um Sarah before we
get in the episode, how is your quarantine going? You're
up in Canada still, I assume. Yeah, yeah, I'm up
in Canada. And it's, um, you know, it's like a

(21:40):
never ending roller coaster. We're doing pretty good. Um, We've
had like a little bit, you know, a kid. People
get sick and then obviously that's not a fun time
because every you know, anytime you get any symptom right now,
it's terrifying. UM. And and just trying to find ways
to keep the kids positive and occupied. And I feel

(22:04):
like it's you know, it's a constant um game, uh
with your own brain to just you know, keep focused
on positive stuff. And are they opening schools back up
in Canada yet they are? They sent out a survey
uh to say, you know, would you send your kids back?
And I answered back, I would not, could not in

(22:26):
a boat. I would not, could not with a goat. Right.
It's kind of hard to do that right now. That's
the one thing that's you know, that's the that's the
one thing that I I don't know that I could
do that. You know I could, I can't. I know,
I don't say I shouldn't say. I don't know. I
know that I wouldn't. I'm not ready for that. Yet,
But they're not doing that this school year, right. The talk,

(22:48):
if anything, would be the fall. They're opening here now August.
Some schools are already back. Yeah, school, my kids schools
are back. Um and um, you know, I feel like
it's uh, you know, party, which is the message they
were putting out there was there's absolutely a need for

(23:08):
some kids to go back to school. So please if
you can keep your kids home, to make more space
for the kids who have to go back, so that
there can be social distancing as opposed to like, do
you want to send your kids back? It should be
I think a little more focused on the goal of
keeping the numbers small still for the people that have
to go back because they need to go back or

(23:29):
because their parents are working on the front line or
whatever it is, right, Sarah, forgive me for not knowing this,
but has Canada been hit I mean, I know it
per capita obviously, but has it been hit as as
hard as the United States has been hit with it?
I don't think, you know, the numbers on the West
Coast are a lot better than the numbers on the
East Coast right now, and I think that you know,

(23:54):
part of that is the West coast of Canada. Their
spring break was a little bit sooner it hit. Their
first to the West coast had a bit more benefit
of time in terms of locking down a bit earlier
in terms of when the virus arrived. And and I
think it's it's obviously less densely populated, and so I
think part of it is just luck. Part of it's

(24:14):
a social distancing. But the numbers have been have been lower,
and the borders aren't open yet, right like you you, well,
you might be able to because you have dual citizenship,
right you can, but if you don't have dual citizenship,
you can't get into the United States. Right. Nope, they're
still closed. I don't know what their plans are for that.
I miss you well, yeah, you guys too, And you
guys have been keeping me entertained and happy. Are you

(24:37):
really listening because we had to prove I don't know
if you've heard the episode with Randall, but he tried
to act like he was listening and then he said
three two one, and he got out in one. No,
I've been listening. I've I haven't heard all of them.
I've heard a bunch of them, and it's making me
so happy, and I can't believe how much you guys remember.
And it's so fun to just, especially in a time
like this, like go back into that go back into

(24:59):
that headspace we had. I just we had so much fun.
We had so many fucking laughs, and I, um, yeah,
all of it, like Donald singing Stafford and Son. The
other day, Um, you know what it is, Well, you
know what it is. I was hanging out with Paul
Rudd and Alicia Silverstone and Breck and Meyer doing a
Clueless reunion like a year and a half ago or

(25:19):
something like that, right, And Paul said something that was
very very interesting. He was like, we have history together,
you know what I mean. So because we have history together,
it's so easy to fall back into where we were
when we were working on Scrubs, right, he was, he

(25:42):
was saying, we're clueless. He was like, we had such
a great time and it was such a big opportunity
for all of us, and it turned into something so
big that when we see each other, you can't help
but reminisce and feel all of those great feelings that
you had when shit jumped off. Right, Yeah, I think also,
you know, when we did the show, we didn't have

(26:03):
all these years of knowing just how special it really was.
I mean, we've all done plenty of jobs since and
continue to work and we'll till till our dying day.
But I think when I watched these episodes back and
I talk to you guys, and it's great seeing everyone
now we're doing the show. We see you Sarah, we
saw Johnny, see we see people that we don't see

(26:24):
all the time. It's it's even bringing back more nostalgia
for me because I'm going, Wow, what a what a
unique time this was to not only do something for
so long, but to create this wonderful bond with these
with these people, and um, it's you know a lot
of jobs as an actor that you do. They're fun
and everyone's cool and it works or it doesn't, but
it isn't such a special thing where where you have

(26:45):
these lifelong bonds with people. It's so true, is it?
It was? It was it was our twenties, right like
it was our twenties. It was such a formative time
I think too, in our lives. And then for it
to be on such a special show. And yeah, like
you guys were saying, like you know, you Reel was
being adults like how fucking rare that is? And to
have you know, I mean, we would we would spend

(27:06):
it was like you guys were talking about with Randall,
It's like we would spend sixteen twenty hours shooting. We
would go over time that people don't never do anymore,
and then we would go with the whole crew to
the money Tree, you know, on a Friday night. We
would have wine and cheese Fridays. I mean we've literally
just spent like over one hundred hours together. And then,

(27:26):
you know, and then are still hanging out or would
hang out on the weekends and we really all eat
lunch together. I mean, I don't know if you guys
now nowadays on sets, people are like all right later,
it's like right, but we used to every single day
for nine for eight years, um, have lunch together. Yeah yeah, yeah,
it's so it's so um, it's so rare. I was

(27:49):
working on a job like a year ago, and I
just I was new there, and I just grabbed my
train and went down and sat with the crew and
a couple of guys that I'd worked with years and
years ago. And somebody said like, oh, actually, just go
to the trail and I was like, Oh, that's not
how that's not how I grew up, that's not what
I enjoy. And it was Yeah. I don't know if
you guys remember, but Carrie Bennett, our amazing costume designer

(28:12):
who had her own life fabulous scrubs. I definitely remember
Carrie Bennett. I think, oh my god, she's so great.
So she she she, she'd say to me, you know,
after lunch, she was like, Sarah, um, I don't want
to say this, but we're running out of scrubs, in
of your scrubs, and we we we we just need to.
We're going to give you this art smock as a

(28:32):
as a Giant did, and you've got to wear it
to the lunch ten And I was like, you're kidding me, right, Carrie,
And she's like, no, no, just like wear it and
then it will protect the scrubs, these beautiful baby blue
scrubs from the chili stain. And so I did, and
it was kind of humiliating, and I was super proud.
I came back from lunch and I'm like Carrie, And
then I had taken a quick disco nap in my

(28:54):
dressing room and I fell asleep on a sharpie, and
so these baby blue scrubs that were like pristine on
the front had like a sharply stained the size of
a grape fruit on the butt. Sarah, is it okay
to tell everyone that you're not necessarily the tidiest person?

(29:15):
Oh my god, I forgot about that. Your dressing room,
Oh my shit, how did you find anything? And never?
You've never seen anything like it? People, Oh, that's right,
come along. Well, I don't know, do you guys? Remember
I moved dressing rooms because I was between your two
dressing rooms at the right end of the hallway. And

(29:36):
then in whatever season that Heather Graham came on, she
was coming for eight episodes, and they made her a
really nice dressing room. They brought in like new carpeting
and they painted. They brought in this cute little couch
and it was smaller than I but it was so pretty,
and so when she left they let me have it.
So I ended up switching over to Heather's dressing That's
so fu up. They fixed up a dressing room because

(29:57):
Heather Graham was coming, and then when she left, you
were like, can I have it? And they were like sure?
Like that so fuck up that after all this time,
you didn't get that dressing room. That's you moved across
the hall. That's right, you moved to the other side.
Oh but okay, yes I did. And and as more
proof that I've been listening to your podcast, Johnny C.
I was laughing so hard. He was like, it was like,

(30:18):
we remember how we each got fifteen hundred dollars from
Disney every year to improve our dressing rooms. I was like,
hell no, I remember just going on. I remember I
remember going into Donald didn't have much to core and
he would just like like whatever, whatever the latest video
game system and the controllers everywhere, and then and then
Sarah looked like you're exploded. There was just like shit everywhere. Yeah,

(30:46):
kind of was a teenager. I mean when I looked
back at those episodes, we were babies, like, yeah, but
you were in your twenties. You weren't a teenager. I know,
I know. And then Zach your your dressing room looked
like fucking you would walk in and it would smell good.
You had freaking art on the wall and shit like
that stood up. I was there. I was there my
whole life. I thought it had to be a little
bit nice, but I want everyone to realize these are

(31:09):
still hospital rooms. Okay, these are small hospital rooms that
basically just had some Ikeya furniture and a fresh coat
of paint. But dude, you'll have changed your ship up
a little bit more than just Ikea furniture. Like they
were like they were like, Zach, here's your room, and
you were like, no, we gotta fix it. Hold on now,
hold hold on. Where did you get this? Where did
you get this furniture from Ikia? No? No, no, no no,

(31:31):
we gonna have to get pottery barn. Like you. It
was not as nice as pottery barn. It was. I
think it was all rental shit. So every year they
bring you in like how about this couch, and you'd
be like no, and then he's going to the rental
house and be like how about this one was just
like some bit I'm learning so much. I a never

(31:52):
got the fife someone. I never had someone to say
how about this couch. I was just whatever coach was
in there till I took Heather Clams. I mean, in
my difference, I was there the most hours of the day,
so I did. I did occasionally like I'm gonna need
to nap, so I'm gonna I do remember saying I
do remember going up to somebody and being like, listen,
I don't want to be a pain in the ass

(32:12):
or anything like that, but my couch is made out
of like, uh, it's like Dan Dirry or whatever this
shit is, and it's really hard on my face and
it's really hot. Is there a way we could find
something that's a little bit more cooler? Uh? And and
not cooler like uh like esthetically cooler, but cooler, like

(32:33):
keeps your body cool cooler. I don't want you to
be a pain in the ass, but is there any
way this could happen? And I remember them being like, hmm,
let me talk to somebody about this. We'll see you're
talking right. Maybe Zack's like they would be like, here's
a couch. When you think of this couch? No, okay
about that? You should have been like you should have

(32:56):
been like Heather Graham would like me to have a
nicer couch. Should we get into the episode, guys, absolutely,
I know you both have I know you both have
children that need tending to So absolutely, should we go
to break before we get to eat? Yes, we are
going to break. Sarah, would you like to throw it

(33:17):
a break. No, no, Sara, Sarah the episode break No sorry,
do it again? Go ahead, We're going to break. Welcome back.

(33:41):
We're here with Sarah Chalk, the legendary Canadian. I would
say America's favorite Canadian. I used to call her Canada's
Britney Spears who maybe Ryan Reynolds might be slightly more
popular than you, but that's it. Other than him, maybe
maybe Michael J. Fox that's it. Maybe maybe Seth Rogan,
maybe oh he's Canadian. Maybe Ryan got stop bringing stop

(34:05):
bringing Sarah down on the list. My heart, in my heart, Sarah,
you're number one, number one Canadian. That means a lot.
All right, let's try how about this. You're one of
my favorite human beings on the planet. How about that? True?
And Sarah, when you when I see your face, I
automatically smile. Put it that way. That's the highest compliment

(34:26):
I can give someone. I see your face and I smile.
I'll take it. Donald Directed by Adam Bernstein and written
by Matt Tarsa's that's a power team right there. Those
are two all stars. That's a good I knew that was.
There was a reason why I really liked this episode. Well,
there's a lot of good team. There's a lot of
good stuff in it. But for those of you who

(34:47):
don't know at home, those we've been talking about them.
But the Adam Bernstein directed the pilot back and also
the music video for Baby's Got Back. If you want
to see some of his finest work, and U which
involves a giant ass, I mean the set Adams Adam's choice.
Adam's vision for the Baby's Got Back video was to
just build an enormous ass. If you don't believe me,

(35:12):
look it up on YouTube. These dancers dance around a
huge ass. Well, you know, I wonder this did Adam
Bernstein direct Sir mix a lots follow up to Baby
Got Back? Put it on a glass? Very good question, Joel,
would you mind looking that up? No, Bill won't know,
but Joelle can look it up. Jarell Joel, who is

(35:33):
the genius or tour behind put it on the glass?
Was it indeed Adam Bernstein or not? Now? Donald, what
are they putting on the glass? Their boobs? Are their bums?
Their boobs? Oh, they're putting their boobs on the glass.
So he went from Baby Got Back to can you
imagine the meaning? That he's like, can you imagine, Like
they're like, sir, mix a lot comes in and he's like, Hi,
I have a song I want to do about the

(35:54):
love for my children. And they're like, ah no, we
were thinking more along the lines put him on the glass.
We were, right, I want to follow up baby, but
got back with a song that's really dear to me. Yeah,
it's about connection to my spirituality and my love of
my parents and and right and like you know, mix

(36:15):
a lot. We were thinking, sir, do you think they
called them sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, mix a lot.
We were we were thinking, Babies Back sold so well,
so many records, Yes, and it's only right that we
follow up with put them on the glass. Yeah, yeah,
you're you're focusing on the tushes we made millions. What
if you did something about putting boobies on windshields. I

(36:39):
don't know that one of the one. I don't know
that put him on the glass was as big as
Baby Got Back though. Now wait, I have a question, Donald,
it was put him on the glass specifically about putting
breasts on a windscreen? Yeah, it was like on a windshield? Yes,
So like I think what was sir mix a lot
asking of the women in specific. I don't know, but
all I know is the hook was like put him
on the glass. And I remember being like a different

(37:03):
what a different era? Joella's fact checking who directed that?
And if you don't know what we're talking about, you
really need to look up these music videos. I used
to pa on music videos back in the day, and
you know it was a different era. I mean people
actually watched music videos back then. You remember, yeah, dude,
I remember, I remember music video. I remember MTV. What

(37:28):
I really remember is the Box and that was when
you got to call in and make your video request.
Canada had the Box for a while. Y'all also had
other things that look, here's what was dope about just
shouting out your home country her names Junior High Well,
Degrassi Junior High, Degrassi High Yo, MTV raps. But there

(37:51):
was another one. It was like music Box or some
shit like that. I forget the name of it, but
it was like, all right, So when I was a kid,
b et head uh rap city? Oh was that? Yeah?
That was b Et I think, guess right, and so uh,
Canada also had a rap city also, and it would
be Canadian artists. And that's how I learned out about

(38:13):
learned about Cardinal Official and all of these Toronto artists
and stuff like that. Anyway, if you had cable when
you were a kid, you could get Canadian television, and
on Canadian television they would play de Grassi Junior High,
the Grassy High, and uh, what you can't do that
on television? I remember, you can't do that on television.

(38:34):
Loose Yak of the Lockers, wasn't that, yes? And Sarah
wasn't that? Um? Wasn't that the show where if you
if you said, I don't know, they dropped greenshit on you. Now,
I thought that was a Nickelodeon that. I thought that
was a Nickelodeon show. My point is, My point is,

(38:56):
you guys had some pretty dope television to watch its kids. Man,
they with some serious shit on Degrassi. Man, it wasn't
like the usual, you know, it wasn't Saved by the
Bell where Shorty got hooked on freaking caffeine pills. That
motherfucker got hooked on meth like shit like that, like
on like straight up pills, dude. And was Draca was

(39:19):
Drake a leading character on Degrassi or like that was
we were older by the time Drake was on Degrassi.
They weren't, you know, some of the original casts had
come back and they were like the teachers on they
were like screeching Belding type shit. But when it comes
to when it came to like there was a girl
on the show who got pregnant and junior high school
or something like that. It goes into high school. I

(39:39):
think her name was Caitlin or something like that. She
goes to High Steel and she got a baby and stuff.
I don't remember listening. I don't remember it well, but
I just remember it was like, these are more realistic
problems that youth are going through right now. When I
would watch Degrassi and stuff like that, watching compared to
watching Saved by the Bell or you know, City High
or or you know, Hang Time, y'all had the freaking

(40:02):
real deal. Holy feel things happen for kids, and also
inter racial relationships, all types of ship on that ship.
You know. I just remember. I remember, well, well, let's
drive in Donald at fifty seconds, Um you vacuum rowdy.
Yeah's the best part of the episode. I have an

(40:24):
L Mark designed that one. No I think that's the
only time. I think we don't have to ask ask
the scrubs wikied guy, I'm pretty sure it's the only
time in nine years Rowdy's ever been vacuumed. Oh yeah, well,
you know it can get just because it's dead. I mean,
I guess it can't get fleas, can it. I don't
know if dead animals can get fleas. Joel, I know
you're working on put him on the glass, but let

(40:51):
me ask you this. Yeah, okay, I know both of
you do. I love my parents. Yeah, I was about
having them around. I stop having them around, you know
what I mean. So when watching this and they're like
and and Turk and Elliott and j d are trying
to avoid their parents, I was like, I don't necessarily,

(41:12):
I don't necessarily fall in line with this. I don't necessarily,
you know, I'd love my mom and when my dad
are around me, you know what I mean. It's a
lot of fun, I know. And I was thinking this.
I know you all, you both so well, and I
know that you both are very close with your family
and your parents, and as you know, I am the
same way. And it's funny that the writers, um, well

(41:33):
we'll blame Matt Sarsis since he's uh, you know, credited
as the head writer on this episode. Um, you know,
there wasn't like a varying point of view the whole episode.
Truth Parents suck. I know, I totally. I got very
lucky in the parent department as well. And so, um yeah,
that moment when when Jady walks up and Donald and

(41:55):
I are so bummed. Yeah, you're crying, You're literally you're
you're you're comforting each other. And then I come in
hug Donald because he's so sad that his mom. Now,
by the way, Hattie Winston played your mom, Yeah she did.
Let's give a shout out to Hattie. She was very
funny and very uh lovable. I mean, I guess she's
supposed to be that she gives you a lot of shit,
but I mean I didn't buy that she was the

(42:17):
pain in the end. She was. She was lovable and
fun right. Do you remember Hattie Winston from our youth? No?
What was she on the Electric Company with Morgan Freeman back?
And they do remember the Electric Company? Yes? I do.
Do you remember the Bloodhound guest it? Hey you guys? Yeah, Dad,

(42:37):
I forget this. Come Alan. Now that's a great space coaster.
I'm thinking of sho remember Great Race Coast anyway, Hattie
Winston Electric Company, Morgan Freeman Electric Company, it's the great
space coaster. Great Race Coast umbers on, conspicuously silent. Anytime
you guys start singing, because I revert into this little show,
were mis spear just of this episode. You can't do

(43:01):
that anymore. I can't do that. And I've always made
fun of you for singing, But now that I've heard
that it's a tender spot in your heart, I never
will again. Kim oh boy. One of my favorite scenes
was Hattie Winston and Judy. You know when when they
first meet and Judy just lays lays it all on
the table. Oh um, I just got the note from

(43:23):
Joel put him on the glass? Is not Adam Bernstein? Okay, Sarah,
the guest don't usually the producer's notes. That's usually for
the two hosts. But you're, Sarah, You're you're the first
guest that's had the audacity to read our producer's notes
to us. I'm all right. I think that shows my

(43:44):
comfort level. I'm all right. If you want to what
our handshake? Donald Sarah if you wouldn't mind closing the
chat thing, because what if Joel's like, oh my god,
shut Sarah up, and then we you read it. Joel
would never say any Joel. It's just in Sarah needs
to stop talking. So from Jelly, Sarah won't shut the

(44:07):
fuck up. Please move on from this topic. Have her
shortened her sentence answers? Quick? Short? Shorter is better? Short
is better. I wish the audience would see I wait
before you say that. I wish the audience could see
how Sarah has framed her her iPad. It's as though,
like you know, when you talk to you, you know,
when you talk to your grandparents, and all you see
is like an eyebrow and maybe an ear. That's that's

(44:29):
the camera shot we have with Sarah. Yeah, that's because
my laptop's broken. Some one an iPad, so it's precariously
balanced on a tower of books and poker chips and
a gift that's wrapped and balance counterbalance with a hot
cup of scalding macha. How many different types of tea
are in front of you on that table? Mm, so

(44:50):
only one this cup of macha. Have a few other
beverages around me. There's not tea. But as Donald was
saying at the beginning, that um, I like salad. I
was telling my kids the other day because they were
teasing me for how much I can keep making soup,
and they're so tired of soup, and it's this soup
and then that soup, and then I'm just trying to
keep everybody healthy. And so I was explaining to them
how my nickname on Scrubs, other than second Becky, was
also soup for breakfast, because I would always have and

(45:13):
also Saray, the limberson I know who would like make
a tea and like bring it to the set or
to her room and then have a few SIPs to
that and then be like I'm going to go make
a different flavored tea and then have won any chan
and like just be bouncing between the flavors. I never
met another human being who does it. Is double fisting. Yeah, well,
do you remember Darla, our makeup artist, used to put

(45:35):
post it notes on the makeup mirror and be like,
please tomorrow, beat this record and have less scalding beverages
than you did today because it would be like fourteen
and she'd be like, I'm tired of mopping your sweat
from these hot drinks that you're drinking in the middle
of summer in this poorly ventilated, air conditioned hospital. Listen,
it was your it's your method, it's how you are,

(45:58):
and nobody falls how I do. How you do. I'm
very familiar with how you do. Where did we get
that from? All of a sudden that became something that
we talked, he said all the time. I am now
familiar with how you do. Okay, I'm hearing you, and
I'm familiar. I'm familiar with how you do. All right, Well,
let's talk about it. One on four, the legendary John
Ritter walks in. John Ritter. We've all spoken about our

(46:22):
love for John. I've spoken on the podcast before, and
just in short, I loved this man so much. I
grew up on Three's Company. It was sort of my
introduction to physical comedy. I thought it was hilarious. I
told you my embarrassing story about bringing it up at
my dinner table. But I just loved this man so much.
And uh and when he came on to play my

(46:43):
dad in this episode, I was I was just giddy.
I think we all were. Yeah, absolutely, go ahead, sir.
I couldn't believe it when I heard he was coming.
I had I had worked with him when I was younger,
when I did you know a series of these um
disease of the Week movies that film up in Canada
was what was filming here when I was growing up
at the time. And this one movie the Week that

(47:04):
I got to do with John Ridder that I will
never forget. He was so kind to me, and I
was this gang kid. I think I was probably seventeen maybe,
and there was a power outage where I lived and
my alarm didn't go off. And this has only happened
to me twice once then and then one time on

(47:25):
Scrubs that wasn't a PowerEdge. It was another situation when
Michael J. Fox was working with us. And so I'm seventeen,
my alarm doesn't go off with a power outage, and
where we're shooting is an hour and a half away,
and John Ridder is John Ridder and so talented and
this incredible actor and the lead of this and I'm
playing his daughter. I had this small part, and I

(47:48):
couldn't believe it. My phone rang and they're like, where
are you? And obviously the worst feeling in the world,
and I got in my car and I drove out there,
and he gave me a big hug and he's like, ah,
happens to everybody, and told me this story and immediately
made me okay about it as opposed to all of
the other choices that he had. And I will never
forget that. And then obviously everything you said Zach about like, yeah,

(48:11):
I mean growing up with Three's company and being in
awe of him. And you know, Sarah, did you watch
that show? I mean, it's funny because I were around
the same age, and I feel like, I know Donald
and I have referenced to it a lot, but was
that something in Canada you were watching? It was huge.
It was huge. It was one of my sisters and
my favorite shows. We would we would sit down and
watch it. And it's like you said, too, like the

(48:33):
physical comedy was so incredible on that show, and you know,
we got a taste and a bit of an opportunity
to try some physical comedy on Scrubs. That was actually
one of my quarantine lessons. We've been you know, trying
to keep the kids busy and occupied during quarantine and
with me and my sister's kids, we have such a
wide variety of ages, so we've been doing different things
and one of my lessons was pratfalls, and my three

(48:55):
year old was just given her. I mean I just
like put a stack of books on the ground and
I was like, okay, so you're aproaching in. The trick
is to like make it look like you don't see it,
so you turn away just at the last second, and
I have to send you guys the video. I mean,
Frankie just like just gives her bail. Did you give her?
Did you give her a matt? For God's sakes, we
didn't have a matt. We had like kind of a
rough carpet, so probably that would have been a better,

(49:17):
you know, way to introduce pratfalls with a matt. You're
a very good physical comedian, Sarah. I think you're very
good at pratfalls. Well. It was one of the funnest
things we got to do on Scrubs, was like, you know,
doing all of the stunts, and our favorite thing obviously
was all of us, for all of us was to
be like, let me try it, let me try it.
Except for the best story I think of not wanting
to try it was Bill asking Zack and I if

(49:40):
we would bungee jump oh wow, and and we both
said no because we didn't want a bungee jump. And
our stunt doubles met that day in my stunt doubles
her first day ever doing a stunt, her first stunt ever,
and they met and got fail in love and got married.
And then for the run of the show was so
cute our stunt doubles were married. Do you think they're
still married? They're not. No, you know, Sarah, I love

(50:07):
how you were not going to leave the audience with
You're gonna leave them on the positive romantic comedy version happened,
but bunge it again and I broke up. No, I
don't know what happened. I just was on another job
years and years later in New Orleans, and um, your
stunt double was working on it, and I asked him
about my stunt double and he said, we're no longer.

(50:28):
I'm telling this terrible story now on this dark By
the way, I love it because it's like we're all like, oh,
and then they fell in love and they got married.
Are they still married? Oh? No, no, no, no, no, no,
this is that. This is we're now talking after the
credits have rolled. Man, everybody, everybody in all the movies,
it always is gonna end great. You just don't see
what happens after the credits and the credits. They hate

(50:49):
each other, you know, a few years later and they
get divorced, and it's freaking ugly. I want to know
what brought what broke them up? I wish now you
don't know. Oh, they're probably listening. What if it was
another person it was not a stunt brought them together?
Another stunt toward them apart the movie? Right, you mock
you mock them, You mocked them. I'm not mocking them.
I'm laughing with them. Yet. Bill Building got so mad

(51:13):
at Zach and I remember because we we then go
all of us as a cast um to Brazil and
Mexico to do a Scrubs press tour, and we go
hang gliding and builds like you wouldn't do an organized
stunt jumping off a bridge together, but you'll go to
Rio and jump off a cliff attached to a kite.
Yeah all right, but wait a second, you're going too fast.

(51:34):
I don't know, I don't I remember being like, fuck no,
I don't want to bungee jump with tied to Sarah
off a bridge. But I also don't think it was
fully up to us. I think that the the insurance
and people were like no, no, no, you're not doing that.
But I don't know. I'll take the blame. But I
do remember in Ruy was it Rio that we we
all decided it's very random. These guys come up to

(51:55):
you and they're like, do you do you want to
do hang gliding? No, this this wasn't a random guy.
That one of our guides was like, I have a
friend who wants to take you hang gliding, and hang
gliding basically involves trusting stranger and then running off a
cliff with them. And I remember being like, I really hope.
And they kept going like the wind is not good
today for hang gliding, and I remember my heart being like,

(52:17):
thank God, thank god, the wind's not good for hang gliding.
And then he finally came and he's like the winding,
the wind is now good for hang gliding, and I
was like, fuck, I didn't want to go. I remember,
well we all felt like that because I remember he
was all at the pool and they said handlider at
the pool said he they said hand gliding and he
was in the pool. He came swimming up to us

(52:39):
and he didn't speak very much English, but he did say,
I really want to take you all hand gliding. And
he kept saying that and we were like, oh, no, no,
and he was like you know what. And at one
point we all got the courage and we were like,
all right, fine, we'll go. And he was like, oh,
you know what, the wind's not good and we all,
like all of us were like whoa. And we were like, well,
you know what, if the wind was good, we would

(53:01):
have win. Yeah at the wind right now? Broken English remember,
and his broken English he kept saying, will you be
making a hang gliding? Will you be making And I
remember me like, I really don't want to make a
hang gliding, but do you guys remember there was a
build It was build up the whole trip, Like we

(53:21):
were in Mexico first, then we were in Brazil, we
were in South Paulo, and then we were in Rio,
and there was build up the whole trip, like are
we going to hang glider? We're not gonna hang glide.
Was this conversation the whole time, and then by the
time we got there and we said yes, and then
the wind changed back. I remember thinking like fuck, Like
I used to sail race my whole growing up. The
wind changes on a dime, So what if it changes
to not good when you're jumping off of the cliff.

(53:43):
And I don't know if you guys remember what happened,
but we signed our lives away on those contracts. We
drive up this giant cliff, we get into our with
our with our instructors who were going to be jumping
with and I was terrified. And the instructor came up
to me and he was like, I've been doing this
twenty five years, nothing is ever happened. So he goes
ahead of me, and I'm with another guide and you

(54:04):
guys are all in the arm last and I where
it's gorgeous. It's spectacular. You're flying over the jungle and
then the ocean. He land on the beach. When you
jump off, they say, now right away, your hand glider
is going to drop until it catches wind. So there's
this like split second where your hand glidder just fucking
drops and your stomach goes into your throat. And he
says to me, right before we leave, he goes, when

(54:25):
you run, you run. You don't change your mind because
that can affect And I'm like, if that can affect
whether this thing catches wind or not, this is not
an activities participating in. Yeah, my go yes, And my
guy said to me. My guy said to me, the
only way we can get hurt is if you stop
running at the wrong time. So when I say run,

(54:45):
you need to fucking run right. So we all go
running towards this clip like fucking mad people. Dude, everybody
had great landings. All of you had wonderful landings. I
shit on my landing. You did, Oh my gosh. He
was like okay, well yeah, because they were like, okay,
the most important part is the landing. You don't want

(55:07):
to land wrong because you could break your legs and everything.
And I'm like, oh shit, we didn't go over landing.
We're coming in and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna
make this landing. I'm gonna make this landing. And this
I feel like this dude tripped me or some shit
like that, because all I know is we landed and
my feet were in the ground and in his foot
catch his mind, and now my face and arms are

(55:29):
fucking in the fucking sand. Dude, I was like, I
loved it in your mind. The hang gliding guys like,
you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna trip this motherfucker.
I think he did. I think I think I wasn't
having enough fun for him. You know, the guy, the
guy we were all with him, we were all we
were all with a guide, and the guy who was like,
will you be making the hang gliding went alone because

(55:51):
he wiped out. He was all bloody do you remember
snapped his hanglider? He so he was ahead of me.
He lands, and I'm like, he's just told me nothing
could go wrong. He fucking lands, his hand elid are
snapped and he broke his ankle, and that happened as
I'm still in the air about to land, and so
I'm like, are you getting me right now? So he
was okay, but he definitely hurt himself, and we land
and my and everybody's like getting handed their their role

(56:14):
of film because the whole time they're like, look over
and there's like a little mini camera triggered by this
little thing in their hands, so they're taking pictures of us.
Whole time. I thought, great, I'm gonna have proof nobody's
gonna believe I did this. And we get down onto
the beach and he says to me, I'm so sorry.
I forgot to put film in the camera. So the
whole time we're in the air, he's taking all these pictures.
So I have a picture on the ground before we

(56:35):
like on the cliff, before we leave, and when we land,
and he's like, I'll take you back up again for free,
because I feel so bad. And I was like, nope, nope,
we are not doing this again. I have my pictures.
There's somewhere I remember seeing him. I've never seen my
pictures of me hand gliding ever. Before we get back
into the show, I do remember another thing that happened

(56:57):
to us while we were on this trip, oh called explosivo. Yeah,
and I know you guys remember this because it was
the worst thing that's ever happened to me ever in
my life. But I missed a whole dinner because I
was sitting on a toilet exploding right from our listeners

(57:17):
might not want to hear about the extent of your diarrhea.
I don't care. You know what one of my favorite
do you know what saved me? What the tequila I'm
not gonna lie. So your advice for people with explosive
diarrhea is to drink tequila? No, that is not as
as a TV doctor, that is not my That is

(57:38):
not my advice to people. But because my stomach was
so messed up, I was drinking all of these concoctions,
like some of it was white, some of it like
I was going crazy and nothing was working, and my
stomach was always like even after I ate, all right, well,

(58:01):
I hope some of our listeners aren't eating their lunch
right now. Some people like, do you remember do you
remember what I said after I came out of the bathroom.
Has anyone ever seen a gallon of shit? Does anybody
know what that looks like? That's what you said? Said,
that was what I said. We read, we read Brazilian Barbecue.
We went to Brazilian Barbecue, and Donald said, I wonder

(58:23):
if I can drown it in meat. I wonder if
I eat so much meat that maybe this could stop. Finally,
because it had been it had been ten days at
this point, and it had cycled through all of us,
and we were we were like having lunch was with
contest winners, and I would like jump up to run
puke like we all were so sick. And the whole
thing with hand gliding was is it going to be
possible for us to be in the air for fifteen

(58:43):
whole minutes? Right? So in the back of our minds
was hang gliding. If we make the hang gliding, are
we going to shit our pants? Yeah? This is pretty much.
It lasted for a really long time with me. I
remember being on the plane and pooing on the plane
from like Mexico to Brazil. So you are your your
your your protocol that you gave yourself of meat and

(59:05):
tequila didn't work. I'm shocked. Ready to go to a break,
and we have a caller. Right after the break, we'll
be right back with the legendary Sarah Chuck. Now, Sarah,
we have a very special guest today. There he is.
That's Trevor. Hi, Trevor is that? Let me tell you, guys,

(59:28):
something about Trevor. Trevor is gonna explain it to also all.
But I have been stealing all of my Scrubs trivia
from a Scrubs wiki um which which I believe Trevor
has curated himself. Trevor, have you curated this whole thing
on your own. Oh no, no, no, I uh. It
definitely is a team effort. So scrubs Wiki is similar

(59:49):
to Wikipedia. Or Donald may be familiar with wookie Pia,
which is the Star Wars wiki, and so he is equivalent.
There are about a thousand of us. Oh oh wow,
wow wow. Yeah, there's a core thirty people really that
kind of did the majority of it. But I'm here
on the podcast today, so I guess I pulled you.

(01:00:12):
You did pull the right strings, because Sarah, because you
don't listen to the podcast, I'll tell you. I heard this.
I know this. If you put in scrubs Wiki or
Scrubs trivia, this comes up and it is an amazing
curated resource for you fans to check it out. And
I've been stealing all sorts of factoids and uh and
trivia and all sorts of information and uh. And finally

(01:00:34):
I was looking in the last week and was it
you Trevor that had written, um, Zach, thanks for he
put in one of the in one of like the
trivial lines, like, Zach, thanks for enjoying Scrubs Wiki. Have
Joel email me. I'd love to talk to you guys.
So I did it worked, and um and um. I
want to thank you and the thousand or so people

(01:00:54):
that have curated this thing because it's incredible and and
a great uh source of fun for I'm sure fans.
If you have a question about an episode, yeah, it's
there's a group of us that to understand something, you
need to write it down. And so when we watch
an episode of Scrubs or whatever TV show that you
have a favorite wiki for, you watch it and then

(01:01:15):
you write down your favorite quotes, your favorite it's a
trivia and then over time those thousand people will help
kind of correct what you might have gotten wrong. And
how do you, Trevor, how do you prevent someone from
and I'm sure this happens on Wikipedia as well, but
how do you prevent someone from writing something that's nonsense
and isn't accurate? Oh? I guarantee there is some nonsense
and some inaccuracies there, especially now after I've just blown

(01:01:37):
it up. I was about to say, because my Wikipedia,
my IMDb says I was in uncle Buck. That's not
me and Uncle Buck. You weren't. That's not me and
uncle Buck. Thank god, now you're gonna tell me it's
a fantastic movie. So, Trevor, do you also do that movie?
But I wasn't in it. Trevor, do you do any
wikies for any other things that you're a fan of
or is this the only one you participate in? Uh? So,

(01:02:00):
it's funny. The TV shows Lost and Scrubs kind of
brought me up to California and jump started my career
at that website, Phantom dot com. And so I was
telling my partner, who were starting to watch Scrubs together
now from the very first episode, now we just started
season two. I tell her that it's because of Scrubs
that I got to meet her. Oh that's so cool. Oh,

(01:02:23):
because it brought you to California. So what you do it?
If you did it for losses, You're welcome. You're welcome,
just putting it. You're You're welcome. You're welcome, Trevor, you
do for loss as well, because Loss probably really needs
a wiki because it's so confusing. Yeah, Lostpedia was the
big wiki where it organized all of the theories and
the smoke monster and all of that crazy stuff. Is

(01:02:45):
there a theory to what lost? What? What? Where? They were?
They ended it? Right? It was all it was all,
It was all right, They never They never explained it
being purgatory. They never explained anything. They left it open ended,
so you can make up your own mind. That's the
crazy shit. What Lost. What they used to do was sorry, sorry,
I guess that's a spoiler. Well no it's not. It
would lost. What they would do is because everybody's watch

(01:03:08):
if you haven't Lost, watched Lost, spoiler alerts. Uh. They
never saw. They never solved anything on that show. They
would introduce something and then at the end of the
season there was no explanation. It was very good though
for the first few seasons, and I have to I
eventually gave up. I have to admit, but I have
a friend who's hardcore Lost fan, and he says, up

(01:03:31):
until the last fifteen minutes, it was one of his
favorite series, and then he and then he just hated
how they just chose to end it, which I never
saw but was assumed was purgatory. But I'm wrong, so
I didn't spoiler it. Oh. I was gonna segue back
to Scrubs because I think Scrubs Season A finale, my
finale is probably the greatest finale to any team, better
than Breaking Bad. Uh. So comedy, did you do that,

(01:03:58):
and then he made him quality. But to check this out,
I've never watched an episode of Breaking Bad. I saw
the finale and I was like, holy shit, that was
a great episode. You decided to start Breaking Bad with
the finale. I'm just checking that. Absolutely. There's certain shows
it gets safe to say that you might be the
only person on planet Earth who started breaking this bullshit.
Billy Crystal's character in uh In when Harry met Sally

(01:04:20):
would read the end of the book before he started
the book. Don't even try that ship. I'm not the
first person to do it. I just happen to do
it on television with television shows. My friends father watch
go Ahead. My friend's father watches um uh four Winnings
in a funeral and skips the funeral part because it
makes him too sad. He knows it's coming, knows it's coming. Now.

(01:04:48):
Trevor has agreed to all of you listeners to provide
a service for us, and we'll have to send him
a gift basket. Joel, can you can you put together
a nice gift basket for Trevor? What do you like
Trevor Well, Scrubs and Lost. We're gonna send him swag.
I don't think he wants swag. I think he wants
like wine, maybe some cheese. Do you drink, Trevor, I
have a handful of vices. Okay, well you'll give Joelle

(01:05:11):
all your vices. We won't to announce them to the
world right here, but if you send Joelle your vices,
we will send you a gift basket as a thank
you for the service you're gonna. Well, we're not drug dealists,
so don't be sending ass and we're not sending you right,
We're not sending you fucking uh you know, a bottle
of crack cocaine or anything like that. We are not
drugs or like s and m gear. We're not sending

(01:05:32):
I don't even know where giant you know where to
find it? Donald stuff like that. What are you talking about?
The pleasures, whips, lubes, oils. I don't know where to
find that shit. In in the in West in the
West village, there used to be the sex shop and
in the window was a giant fist, just a giant fist,

(01:05:53):
and my brother, my brother always thought it was so funny, like,
you know, he'd walk behind and be like, what a
funny thing to have in the window, and and he
would bring his friends by and be like, look, it's
just a giant like forearm and a fist, and they
would laugh. And one day he came by the window
and it wasn't in the window, and he was there
to show his friends so they could laugh at the
giant fist and forum. And he went in the shop

(01:06:14):
and he said, hey, um, where's the where's the fist?
And the shop owner went, Um, the fist is upstairs.
Can't you come back? The fist was upstairs. That's great. Anyway,
We're not sending you a fist, Trevor, but whatever Elsie

(01:06:36):
want will send you as in a giant. We're gonna
make you a big gift basket. Um, so sorry, I digress, Trevor.
When we have a question that we can't figure out
the answer too, and it's not on scrubs Wiki, we're
gonna have a thing like we have with Bill, where
we ask Trevor ask scrubs Wiki, Trevor, are you down
with that? Are you down to do it? I am
happy to help. But the thing is I wrote it
on the wiki so I wouldn't have to remember it. Okay,

(01:07:01):
So it sounds like he doesn't want to do it,
it sounds absolutely well, cancel the kist. Sorry, I'm sorry
to do it. I can you know we're rewatching the show,
and so as I've been doing this, this is so embarrassing, right,
do you ever do you ever see you ever see that?
Do you ever see the firework display where they accidentally
shot off like twenty minutes of fireworks at the at

(01:07:23):
one moment, I feel like that's what's happened. I built
up my fireworks and they've all exploded in my face.
Because Trevor doesn't want to do this, No, I would
absolutely love to. And as you rewatch the show, you
you've seen new things and adding it to the wiki,
and so if you have questions, I'll try my best
to Okay, Well, it seems to me you already answered
one for us, because we we asked you about whether

(01:07:45):
the Hungry Chicken was the only time that was ever?
That was the only time, right, that was the only time.
The three of your characters do other celebratory dances once
coming up in the season one finale, but it's not
exactly Hungry Chicken. Okay, I'm sorry. Do you have a
tribute question that you that that you can see just
if Trevor might know it. He might not know it

(01:08:06):
because he just said that he doesn't have it all memorized.
But he like something that I know the answer to,
and I want to I'm testing him or something something
something you know that the answer to and just see,
just for fun to try and stump Trevor if he
might know the answer to. It could be about your character,
it could be about scrubs. Any what song did Sam

(01:08:27):
Lloyd sing so beautifully in the Bahamas? Oh? Hey, yeah, yeah,
that's very good. I'm sorry it's a little bit obvious.
But okay, what judged on my question to Trevor Donald?
Do you have a tribute question? You want to try
and stump Trevor? I don't. I just want to know
if he asked questions for us. Okay, all right, well no,

(01:08:49):
I just thought we could try and stump Trevor my hole.
Do you feel like you could stump Trevor? Um? Trevor Um? No? No,
I didn't have any all right, do you have any questions? Interesting? Back? Interesting?
Fuck off you guys. I was really excited about this.
We've already had to return the gift basket. Trevor do

(01:09:10):
you have any questions Sarah Chalk or Donald Fayson. Yes, Sarah,
you can have a Trevor's basket. Trevor, do you have
any questions for us since we're all together for the
first time. I do, I really do, so thanks for
having me on. You are talking about the episode My
Old Man today, right, Yes we are, Yes, sir, Yes,
Oh what a classic John Ritter. Hatty Winston never seen

(01:09:33):
Jade's mom or Turk's dead in the episode. We do
see Elliott's parents, but we never see any of her siblings,
and so I'm just curious. If you could do dreamcasting
from any period of history, who would you want to
play either a sibiling or a parent. Wow, that's a
great question, Trevor. Very well. Good. We had We had

(01:09:55):
dl huge Leon as my brother, right, Tom Kavanaugh on
his Zack's brother. Hattie Winston played my mom. I think
she would be married to some like Turk's dad would
be someone. Hmmm, that's a tough one. While let's go
with Denzel Well, I would I would go I would

(01:10:17):
go with Denzel. That's not necessarily realistic that Turk's dad
would be Denzel Washington. I would think it would be well,
you know, that's just like ultimate stunt cat. That's being
stingy with it, you know what I mean, and being
like and being like being obvious and not really doing
your If I could have anybody play my dad on Scrubs,

(01:10:39):
who would it have been? I would say like someone
like Avery Brooks is someone I would have enjoyed playing
my dad. Someone who's Avery Brooks played Hawk on Spencer
for Hire. He was also Captain Cisco on Deep Space nine.
He was the first African American captain in a Star

(01:11:03):
Trek universe. Anyway I would have him, Avery Brooks would
have been a great one. He was one of my
mom's professors at Rutgers University. He was a theater professor
if I'm if I remember correctly, and he was on
television all throughout me growing up. He could do comedy,

(01:11:23):
he can do drama. He's very handsome and so I
think he and Hattie Winston could have definitely made Turk.
And he's also a bald headed man, so you know
it would make sense to Turk matches his dad, Avery Brooks.
I just thought of my answer from my mom, Julie
Haggerty from Airplane, Do you remember Julie Haggerty from Airplane. Yeah,

(01:11:45):
but why would you you want to explain? I was
thinking of well, I was thinking of funny women. Catherine
O'Haras another idea, really funny women who might be age appropriate,
And those are the first two names that came to mind.
I think that she's so incredibly funny. And Katherine o'harrow,
of course, who's always been a living legend but is

(01:12:08):
having quite a moment right now with Shit's Creek. I
think she's hilarious. Sarah, who would be your siblings? I
would have to go with my dream Lisa Kudrow. Um.
I have always wanted to work with her and it
is still a dream of mine. And Um, I'm such

(01:12:30):
a huge fan of everything she's done, and I just
think the way when you just see her read a line,
sometimes I just think what that would have looked like
on the page, and nobody reads it like her. She's
so incredibly talented and funny. And The Comebacks one of
my favorite shows ever Die and the first season was incredible,
so good, so good, So I feel like, um, the

(01:12:52):
combination of Marquis Post, I mean Marquis Post actually was
kind of a dreamcasting for me. I loved herself. She
was an amazing I was waiting for us to bring
to bring her up. She did such a great job.
What's the gentleman who played your dad's name? Because he
was so good also, and he's in so many things, dude,
and we don't make we talk about Hattie, we talk

(01:13:13):
about Markie, we talk about John Ritter. We don't talk
about that guy, and he's been in so much stuff.
Joel's on and I can see her furiously typing as
we speak. Don't worried. I joined. I joined the podcast
with the wicky already open. Oh, Trevor, can you beat Joel?
Trevor go uld be Lane Davies. He was so great him,

(01:13:38):
Kelso's im and Kelso in their in their um their
wrestling suits, circling each other. Yeah. You know what we
could do is just keep watching the episode or talking
about the episode, and keep Trevor on because you know
he might and Trevor, feel free, don't be shy, feel
free to weigh in since you know the episode probably

(01:13:58):
better than than we do. After you get all these
all these years later. Is that okay? Do you guys
like that plan? I love it. Let's go yeah, I
love it because I just figured out how to do
gallery views, so now I can see everybody is fantastic. Whatever.
You'll be the first caller we've ever had hang out
for the going through of the episode, which we've barely done,
and we were an hour and twenty three minutes into this.
It's Sarah. It's Sarah and her tech problems. I mean,

(01:14:23):
it's the bean and cheese kissidilla about when John Ritter
of checks Rowdy's balls and says the rouser Rowdy's a
boy dog. I mean, going back, going back to just
like minute one when he walks in the door and
he says, get some chips. The look on his face
and that like smiling, like nobody can do it like that.

(01:14:45):
He's so good. I wrote that down too, Sarah. I
wrote that down. The look on his face as he
exits frame when he says get some chips. He's like this,
he really just and I remember, you know, he's not
in that many scenes. We said we we had planned
that he was going to be a recurring character, and
he was supposed to come and do another episode and

(01:15:05):
he passed the night before he was supposed to come
to our set and as Donald had mentioned in another podcast,
they frantically rewrote the episode and had Tom Cavanaugh come
and be my get the guest star and be my brother.
But um, so, we had planned that he was going
to be a recurring character, and he was just you know,
making lots of stuff up left and right, and it

(01:15:26):
was I remember just thinking it was so funny. Oh man,
I pooed a little. Was kind of jumping all the
way to the end of the show. But that was
something that he came up with on his own. It
was just supposed to be pulled my finger, and he parts, yeah,
but I remember I remember you getting so excited about
that and being like and coming upstairs because we were

(01:15:47):
all working that day, and you coming up and says,
you're like, yo too, I pulled his finger. He went,
I pooed a little. I never thought I was going
to be in the show. I just thought he was
riffing and being silly, and it was so funny. I mean,
I know it's a fart joke, but it was still hilarious.
And the face he makes, he's like, I pooed a little.
But then after after he says that his face gets
like he gets a little disgusted in himself too, like,

(01:16:09):
oh gosh, and when he in the cafeteria, when he uh,
he just palms the jello and brings it to the table.
He was just doing shit like that, just like just
coming up with the weirdest, funniest choices. Yeah, he um.
And the best thing about that I pooed a little
scene too, was it was also such everything about that scene.

(01:16:30):
It was such a quick scene and it had everything.
It was heartbreaking and funny and then funny and then heartbreaking,
you know what it was. So you guys were both
so great in that scene. Well, it's hard, you know,
it's funny. You know again, the show's twenty two minutes
without commercials, and you have to service all three of
our storylines and of course the janitor with with Arlie
Ermie um and uh, and you know again, it was like, wow,

(01:16:55):
it's hard to it's it's it's tricky to to do
three and a half stories on on all those different
people in twenty two minutes. But I thought they did
a good job with it. Yeah, it's it's really interesting
how Bill was able to do that, because there is
a lot of information that needed to be shoveled out
in this and they found I mean not just the
parents coming, but also Turke and Elliott winning this award

(01:17:17):
from a couple of episodes ago. You know what I mean,
they're studying and they're working together is paid off and
now they're you know, about to go present what they
study to a bunch of people. And also JD being
pissed off about that, you know, and how he was
dying to be able to do something like that, but
wasn't necessarily given the opportunity because Turke and Elliot were

(01:17:40):
much like the handshake, much like the handshake. Now, Sarah
at eight twenty three, you have a very impressive piece
of medical jargon. Yes, I mean both neither Donald and
I could do that as well as you did that.
But but you you really must have worked on that.
Do you remember doing that? I mean, I feel like
in general, I remember the medical jargon feeling like a

(01:18:03):
language it because you just obviously like I don't know
what any of that means. Sometimes I would try and
look it up so that I maybe thinking, maybe this
will help me memorize it if I have a sort
of basic understanding of it. But I remember little chunks
of like I remember my first piece of medical jargon
I ever had to say was superior mesenteric in sufficiency,
and I don't know what that means. I feel like

(01:18:25):
it always felt like just kind of memorizing a phonetic
almost just yeah, as if you were just it was
just another language. But I kind of liked it because
I saw it as like a weird challenge, especially when
it was something that was that long. Um. I always
found that, like one trick was writing it out by
hand with like a pen and just kind of you know,

(01:18:47):
putting it on paper a few times. I feel like
it's a bit of a visual. I feel like this
one you did in one Breath too. You were like, yeah,
but that's not hard for me because that's just how
I talk always, the one breath part not a problem.
The medical stone and yeah, that the stuff was ore.
At eight forty six, I have to use a payphone
to call to call my dad. Yes, in the middle

(01:19:09):
of the hallway. Yeah there's a payphone, just like in
the hallway. Well there might be. But isn't it funny
this many years later seeing someone that I had to
call my dad and reach for a payphone. I mean,
kids today probably don't know what a payphone is. Yeah,
that's pretty crazy of a question. When we started this show,
was there were there pay phones in the I think

(01:19:30):
the hospital. Weren't there payphones at the on the bottom
floor or something like wooden pay Yeah, I remember there
being wooden pay phones or something like. I don't know
if it was a proper if it was real, but
there was definitely it was a payphone era still yeah, yeah,
say totally still existing. Remember when we started, you know,
we we talked about how we got the Blackberries for
the first time and how exciting it was. Right, Oh,

(01:19:51):
that was such a huge deal. I mean there were
cell phones, but you had to be like wealthy. They
were very, very expensive, you know, it was like a luxury. Yeah. Anyway,
going back in time to two minutes fifty when Marquis
Post says, is there um a rule against looking pretty?
And that was sort of always a run with when

(01:20:13):
Marquie Post came back in future episodes, and I remember
if Bill had been this one line where I'm talking
on the pay phone to Marky Post and she I say, yeah, yeah,
I know, mom, short hair gives me pig face. And
Bill would find things with the background and with us
that we're just kind of like just true to all

(01:20:34):
of our appearance and like we would do you feel
short hair? Short hair definitely gives me pig face. It's
not attractive, Like I don't I grew up like people
saying like please don't like you actually just can't cut
you You can't have a bob, you can't just like
cut your hair off, which obviously I don't. Three no, no, no,
it definitely, But don't you quess Remember that there'd be

(01:20:55):
things in the script where they would it would be
actually about our appearance, like I haven't will right here,
you don't look like Gary Busey. What are you talking about? Yeah?
First last, you do not look like we look by
the way, and Hattie Winston doesn't look like Morgan Freeman.
For the record, right, for the record, right, I have
this this mole right here, Trevor. You can see it.

(01:21:15):
It has three hairs that grow to it. I remember
that Trevor add that mole to the scrubs WICKI don't, Trevor,
don't add that to the scrubs Wiking. But I literally
like had to say a lime where I was like,
oh yeah, chin, hair's back, Like there were so many
do you guys remember things that were like space? So
do you have to trim the hairs in your in
your mole regularly? Oh? Yeah? When when Charlie was four,

(01:21:35):
he looked at me so seriously, like completely deadpan, and
he was like, Mama, I have terrible news. And I
said what, and he goes, you're growing a beard. You
have to tend to that mole or it's covered now
with the mustache. Right. Well, I got a whole face,

(01:21:56):
face full of hair right now. But I know, but
I have a question about your mole. Ever have to
tend to it like it's it's been checked out. It's no,
I'm saying it doesn't grow its own hairs. Of course
it grows. It's a it's a it's a mole. All
moles growl hair. Oh, so you have to trim your
mole hairs? No, never, I know, it's all. I feel
like it's more acceptable on a male than it is

(01:22:17):
on a female. That's exactly the point. Donald doesn't have
to trim his mole Hair's life. To pluck these three
mole hairs out of my chin. I feel like moles
should not have hairs. I think, like everybody, no matter
what your gender should trim your mole hair. I will
say this, it's a lot. It's a lot sharper than
the hair that grows above my lip and around my chin.

(01:22:38):
Like you, I could, you know, cut somebody when kissing
them and it's just the mole hair and there's nothing
pat patting the area like more facial hair. The mole
hair could cut somebody. Could It's like a like a needle.
Have you ever pierced Casey's face with your mole hair? No? No,
I don't even think Casey knows I have a mole
Ever since I've been I've had this beard and something.

(01:23:01):
She likes the beard and mustache. She might not like it.
This pull it suits you, but she likes the beard
and mustache. I think it looks really good on you.
I can't remember the last time seeing it this full.
I don't think yes. Is it? Is it a pandemic thing?
Are you not going to cut it till the end
of the pandemic? I kind of like it. I think
I'm gonna like it for as long as I possibly can.
Even the hair on my head, even though it's not
you know, even though I have a receding hairline, I

(01:23:23):
like the way my hair looks on the top of
my head. You know, I think I look like freaking
you know, the dad from Good Times. You know, Oh
it suits you. I like it. I kind of like it.
I kind of like Jefferson. My last my last thought
on on mole hairs. I was working on a job
and it was late and everyone was stressed out and

(01:23:45):
we just needed to lighten the mood a little. So
the makeup artist put those individual eyelashes out of every
freckle and mole on my face and neck, just like
a little kind of group of these little fake eyelashes.
So that I went to craft service and people thought,
like I didn't really know what to say, like kind
of wanted to be like, um, you have a but
just like out of every one, every one of yours

(01:24:07):
and freckles, just like a little grouping of three. It's weird, dude,
It's crazy thinking that. You're like, you know, it would
be funny if you just put hair, because it was
like it was like it'd be a conversation. People be like,
not sure what it like, you have a it's just
a you've got it. Um, I laughed out loud at
fifteen fifty eight, when Sarah you say, I'm not crazy?

(01:24:28):
Am I No? And it feel like it's like the
first example of Elliott starting to lose it. And then
that opened up like a whole new world for her
of crazy. I laughed at bet your powdered bottom. You
can bet your powdered bottom. And I laughed at it
because it reminded me of Annie. The sun will come
out tomorrow. Bet your powderrow, he says, who says, bet

(01:24:52):
your powdered bottom? I lost that. John C McGinley says
it to you. Johnny has a great moment in fifteen
nineteen where he's like, just dude, just just berating me
as per usual, making me feel like shit, and he
knows so badly that I'm dying for a for a
father figure leader because my dad isn't exactly that, And
and and then he just at the end it gives

(01:25:14):
me like the most beautiful little He could have done
a much worse job. And it's like he just gives
you just a little seed of a compliment so that
JD could see that like he was he was there
for me, you know, just a little bit, not even
give too much, you know. And then in the end
of the episode, he buys it all back, and that
was such a great scene with both of you, And
it was mostly done in a wonder like except for
his little chunk at the end. To you, it was

(01:25:35):
kind of mostly a wander down the hallway was so great. Yeah,
I want to give a big shout out also to
you know, Hattie Winston's performance coming in and Judy's performance.
They pretty much had to mimic each other for the
whole episode. Yeah, and it had to be convincing to
for you to believe at the end for the joke

(01:25:57):
to work where she's like, did you are you dating me?
Because I'm exactly like your mother, it had to be
almost perfect that, you know, they did the exact same thing.
Also for Carla to realize, holy shit, I'm his mom.
And I just I thought it was really cool how
they they did it so well. You know, it was

(01:26:18):
really like they had worked on this for, you know,
the week instead of that day when they met. They
had worked on it for at least a week because
they even the way they were talking, it sounded they
sounded alike. And yeah, and there's some there's some subtle
things too, like at nine forty when they're in the
when they're in the break room, her top matches Judy scrubs, right,

(01:26:39):
they're wearing the same colors and they both love the
same color. And yeah, and then poor Hattie trying to
do that freeze thing. They made it. I don't know
why they did that. They should have just frozen the
left side of the frame. But like, she did such
a good job. He did as good a job as
as most people can do. But she's not exactly ready
for Washington Square Park being a frozen statue of liberty. Right, well,

(01:27:00):
she did blank, You're absolutely right she did. She did. Yes,
it's hard, I mean, but she was like, you know,
moving right, you're trying to trying to keep it together.
And I really like the joke that I really like
the payoff for it, where you know, Carla asks Urk.
She's like, you know, are you dating me? Because I
remind you of your mother? And Churk goes, baby, that's

(01:27:24):
exactly right, I'm don That was one of my favorite scenes.
You and Judy were both so good in that scene.
It's one of my favorite scenes in the episode when
you're like, you know, yeah, you're both smart, strong and
smart and independent and yeah. I mean I didn't want
to Judy. I wanted to ask you Donald, like, do
you I mean, I don't know why Judy was so

(01:27:45):
worried about that. I mean, would you say that there's
qualities in Casey that overlap with your mom? I mean,
I I think I would. I mean, both great moms,
very loving and absolutely well. I think I think if
you're a mom, if you're a mother, most likely you
have a lot of love in your heart and you're
and you'll do anything for your kids. And so I
think all moms or most I don't think that's universally

(01:28:07):
true for the absolutely you know what, You're absolutely right,
it's not universally true. But you know, everyone with a
shitty parent right now is like come home. But right,
it's like fuck you, my mom sucked. But but but yeah,
So Casey and my mom are definitely uh, definitely have
that in comment. But for the most part, they're very different. Uh,

(01:28:27):
they're both big personalities, both both for both Shirley and
You are like the life of the party. And last yeah,
but my mom's not a ballbuster the way my wife
is a ballbuster. My wife, you know what I mean.
If I do something great my mom's like, holy shit,
that was the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
Or if I you know, if I fuck up royally,
She's like, you know what, we'll get him next time, honey.

(01:28:50):
You know what I mean. Like to have a good
time and throw a few back, no doubt, but well, no,
come on, shut the fuck up. Nor we can edit
that out. But I've had a few drinks with surely
in the day. You know. I was about to say,
my mom is a way bigger drinker than than than
Casey is. But like, so, my mom is very supportive Casey.

(01:29:11):
If I do something really dope, it's hard to get
a compliment and a compliment out of her, you know
what I mean. I'll do something dope and she'll be like, well,
are you supposed to do that? That's about That's how
I supposed to be. Don't get don't get all excited
because you did that. That's you're supposed to be able
to do that shit, damn it, you know what I mean.
But you will be like it was amazing, But don't

(01:29:31):
you think And I think this is true for a
lot of men and that you and definitely true for
Bill Lawrence and might even be true for me that
you like a tough woman who's gonna bust your balls
and keep you on your toes. Absolutely absolutely, But there
comes a time where you want some form of affirmation
or some form of you know, you want something, you know,

(01:29:54):
some form of accolades, like I'll do something and I'll
do something good, and she's like, you should have been
able to do that anyway? Who gives it? To move on?
I do something bad? You? I want my Sometimes I
want my wife to be like, oh, it's okay, baby,
don't worry about it. We're gonna figure this out. She'd
be like, you fucked up? You know you well, you know,

(01:30:15):
as those of you who think are who are thinking
that that this podcast might lead to him and his
wife having a conversation, you needn't worry because she doesn't
listen to the podcast. Still, I love your wife. She

(01:30:38):
is a she is a ballbuster. But she has a
saying that she she does not sense her a single
word she says, which I like a lot in people.
And she also says all right when she's about to
say something that she's worried you might, like, you know,
judge her, for she goes all right, No, judgments, all right,
let me tell you. And then she like it's like
it's like no judgments, question mark, Okay, if there's not
gonna be any judgments, I'm gonna lay it out. We

(01:31:00):
can have this conversation being judgmental. We're not doing this.
But I but I like that expression because it's like
you want men to be fully honest with you, because
then you need you need to pre sign this document
that says you will not judge what I'm about to say.
But then that But also this doesn't with this whole thing.
It doesn't necessarily track with the beginning and how Turk

(01:31:20):
is sad that his mom's coming, because if he should
be excited that his mom's coming because he's dating a
woman that reminds him of his mom and he knows it.
So part of me is like, I don't necessarily get
why Turk is so disappointed in his mom showing up.
But that's just it's an ass bill. Guys. No, it's

(01:31:44):
not worthy of an ass bill because he's just gonna
say five six seventy, get the music going, and he's
he's out of control. That guy. I really love that
Elliott comes out to her momma but that's funny when
the guys and the guys in radiology owe me some money.

(01:32:09):
Oh that was great. All right, we need to wrap
the superside anyway. Also one other funny thing too, when
Johnny c um is uh telling you right at the
beginning of the episode, we'd like to get bring your
dad with you to take a vehicle. Take him secure
a vehicle, a balloon, a car, tricycle, anything and take
him with you. It is a great life. Um, Sarah,

(01:32:29):
we're so well. First of all, Trevor, thank you for
coming on. You didn't really have much to say, Trevor. Second,
we didn't ask him anything he said. You know, well,
the three of us are big personalities. Yelling into the
microphone Trevor. You know he's letting us do our thing. Yeah, fan,
I don't want you know, if I were another fan,
I wouldn't want me a fan talking the whole episode.

(01:32:50):
You have every right too, You have every This is
listen as much as this is Zach and My podcast.
Everyone who comes on, Joel, Dan, Trevor, everyone who's on
here is open to is welcome to have conversation at right.
I wish Dan would talk more. He never talks. He's

(01:33:12):
very shy. The only time he got Dan to ever
talk was when he got really passionate about fucking hating Spectrum.
Do you remember that? I do remember that Dan like
turned off his mute and fucking went on a monologue
about Spectrum. Can we can you? Can you tell everybody
about your dad and how he's a hero? I'd love
to tell us. Sure. Yesterday, my father was at the

(01:33:34):
protest of the Mayor's house and he was approached by
Fox News. And you know, my dad is a white
dude who lives in a relatively nice neighborhood in Los Angeles,
So and my feeling is that Fox News came up
to him looking for some sort of take along the
lines of I don't like what's going on here. What

(01:33:55):
happened was my father, very eloquently, in my opinion, laid
out exactly what the problem is in this country right now,
laying down how we are here in this country on
stolen land that was built on the backs of four
hundred years of slavery, and after years and years of
not being listened to, of being pushed down and silenced

(01:34:16):
over and over and over, what do people expect at
this point? This is going to keep happening until these
three officers are brought to justice for standing by and
doing nothing, Until actual reform is made, until our country
actually accounts for the sins of its creation. Until we
do that, until we actually make that effort, nothing will change.

(01:34:37):
And that is what he laid out on Fox yesterday.
And I think that interviewer did not get what she wanted.
Did they air it? Did they air it? Not only
did they air it, but I was able to retweet
it and it's currently sitting at you know, four hundred
and twenty thousand likes on Twitter. So will you will
you send that me that? Of course that was beautifully said.

(01:35:00):
I have to say I love it. The running gag
that Dan doesn't speak, and then when he does he
speaks incredibly articulately and does a long monologue. First about Spectrum,
now about Injustice. Dan, please contribute more to the show.
Don't hide out in your in your little tech bubble.
You honor me. Thank you. I appreciate that. Sarah Chalk,
we love you. I love you guys too. Thanks for

(01:35:22):
having me, Trevor, thank you for everything you've done scrubs wise,
and I'm so um happy that we were able to
bring you and your partner together. And he's still gonna
get his basket, even though he's hedging a little bit.
But it's now well out. The trader Joey's peakans a
sweet and salty trader, just peacans in it. I'm gonna

(01:35:42):
call you after this and we're gonna curate an amazing
We could give him some swag, we sign some stuff
for him, that sounds great. I don't have anything, so yeah,
some company made air fresheners of us without permission, which
I don't mind at all because I'm just happy to
have an air freshener of myself. Donald smells like Donald
smells like quote black ice and h Mine. I think anyway,

(01:36:07):
maybe we can throw Trevor some some some unlicensed j
D and Turk air fresheners. There are a lot of
people that are gonna go looking for that. I know.
I'm happy to throw the business some business because I
think they're funny and I don't really care. What am
I going to make a penny off that I don't care?
Okay that being said, Fans, thank you so much for listening. Sarah.

(01:36:27):
We love you so much. Sarah We're gonna let you
do the numbers. Remember to hit us up with questions.
Joel will sift through scrubs. iHeart at gmail dot com,
and Joel will decide if you're if your question is
good enough to come on the air. Get her attention,
she said early on. Don't just send some bs. Be creative,
because Joel is a busy woman and she likes to

(01:36:49):
be have her eyes captivated by an interesting email. Sarah,
stay safe, we love you, we miss you. You may
now lead us in so by counting us in war
stick seven. Eight stories about shore we made about a
bunch of docs and nurses and a janitor who loved him.
I said, he's the stories nevere all should go. So

(01:37:15):
Gada around you, Here are Gato around you. Here are
spect free watch your winds and the time. Mm hmmm,
