That's real.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, Joel called it a firefighter dad mustache.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
It doesn't look like a firefighter dad mustache. It looks
a little gay pornish. Though. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Ray, I'll take either one.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Both, both, both styles bison very sexy.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Sure there's firefighter dad gay porn.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Dude. I'm willing to bet money that there's a firefighter
dad gay porn thing out. What do you think of it?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Listen, I tried to grow a full beard like yours.
It didn't work out so well, and I've decided to
try this for a while.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I think you look handsome as always.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I ran down the rim. By the way, I had
this like Povlovian response now that I'm like dialing into
the zoom call for this podcast, and I just started humming.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I red, what's up, Joel? What's up? Daniel? How's how's
a team?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
High?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Hi seen each other in a really long time.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know it's good to have you. Welcome to the broadcast,
ladies and gentlemen for the very first time, doctors, real friends,
I've decided to join the spirit of Donald phase on
and have a little rose.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh no, guys, I want to go downstairs and get
me a drink? Now, can we do Can we take
a second to do that?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Why do you need to go down and get a
drink right now?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I guess I want to sip someone. I want to
sip something.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
But you're gonna ruin my momentum. I'm on fire right now.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Okay, Well then if you're on fire, I'm gonna let
you go. I'm gonna let you go.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Why don't take a break. When we take a break,
you can run down.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
We take a break, I'll run down. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So I thought I thought i'd phase on out a
little and treat myself.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
And I'm treat yourself. Treat yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I mean, I know when it's not bourbon, it's rose.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
But I was gonna go down and get a little
uh you know aligash they make a triple. Now, this
ship was so expensive. First of all, I spend twenty
one dollars on a bottle of beer. I've never spent
that much money on beer in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I didn't even know beer could cost twenty one dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Ridiculous, right, But apparently it's been aged in three times, Yes,
three times. It's old beer. It's so old.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I have Yeah, I miss you. I miss you so
much it hurt sometimes.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I'm going to chase something right now. I cried in
this episode.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, it's very moving at the end.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I cried like a baby.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's very moving in the end. Yeah, just put a
good episode.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's a great episode written by Bill Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
They are in the zone, the writers. And I'm not
to not to minimize the brilliant work of the cast,
but I feel the writers are really in the zone
in this section of season two, because they're all really good.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'm going to agree with you. We had this conversation
with Johnny. We're getting toward the end of the series
of the season now, and look at how we're all
starting to click. Everything's starting to click, you know what
I mean. It's really amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And this was the very first time they ever introduced right,
or does the West Side Story thing happen? Righty? Was
that season one music? Okay, so other than the West
Side Story thing? So I guess technically the second, but
this is the first time we enter well, I guess
we could say this is the first time we introduced
a musical element that was dramatic, right, because that was

(03:17):
so broad and silly, right.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I guess so, I mean, I guess we could count
Sam and Judy's.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, you're writing, but they were sort of serenading. This
was a fantasy of going into Jill Tracy's death, fantasy
that dying was like a Broadway musical.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Dude, I cried so hard and a lot.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I got goosebumps. I got goosebumps. I'm getting goosebumps right
now talking about it. But when it happened, I got
goosebumps on every inch of my body. That's how powerful
it was.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's such a strong moment. And maybe it's because of
you know, Nick, maybe it's because of Amanda, you know,
maybe I don't know, but it just put me in
a like I'm I was weeping weeping.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Do you think that? Do you think that the climate
of COVID and of course losing our friend has made
you overall more emotional to things?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I definitely, you know. I Okay, So here's the thing
about here's the thing about what COVID has done. And
we haven't seen anything like this, and I don't even
think when AIDS happened it was like this, like people
had months to live when AIDS came around back and
when we were kids.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
But also we were so young we didn't really comprehend
aids when it was first going everywhere. This is like,
we're forty five and forty six, Like I think we
have such a more of awareness of it, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Right, absolutely, absolutely, And you know, people that you thought
you'd have more time with are now gone, you know
what I mean. Like, you know, when Nick was here,
we didn't hang out that much. We hung out a
little bit, but we didn't hang out that much, and
we were.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You were just you were just kind getting to know him.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Getting to know him, you know what I mean. And
I guess I want to say I took that for granted.
I took for granted that he would be around for
a while and that we would have way more time
to become tighter, because I knew that you and him
we were very close, And when you're very close to someone,

(05:22):
it becomes for me. For me, it's like, all right,
if Zach's close to this person, this person has to
be a cool person, so let me go and you know,
get to know this person. So Nick and I were
on the verge of becoming closer, and then he was gone,
And when I watched this episode. That's what this that's

(05:44):
what this reminded me of. You know, we take so
many things for granted.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I'm also always moved by bravery in the face of death.
My father when he was dying, you know, I remember
him turning to my stepmother when he got the diagnosis
that he had cancer, and he said, we're gonna We're
gonna deal with this with dignity. And I think that Nick,
I'm not sure how conscious he was. I don't even

(06:12):
know if he knew what was going on past a
certain point. I have no idea, but I was very
moved in this episode two about about what it's about
is someone who's facing their death with pride and dignity
and strength and not being afraid. And I just I
think that that, you know, I guess what we're both
saying is in this It kind of caught us both

(06:32):
off guard that we're watching this network comedy that we
were both in and usually we sit around talking about
laughs and and what made us laugh and in each
moment and the funny fantasies. And then this was very
moving because of the death that's in the air, both
globally and in particular in our lives with Nick.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Dude, that's exactly what it is. And I don't know, man,
I you know, it just made me. It made me
realize how many things in life I've taken for granted.
And you know, I tried, you know, since Nick passed.

(07:13):
I try every day to tell you know, if we talk,
I try to tell you, you know, before we hang up.
I always try to tell you I love you. You
know what I mean. When we're on this call right now,
when we do this zoom while we're recording our podcast,
Fake Doctor's Real Friends, Uh, when we.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
You don't have to give a plug to the people
that are listening.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Okay, I just I just thought, I it's.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Sort of a fool's errand.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, okay, but but you know, just in case they
forgot what they were listening to. But we say I
love you to each other. You know, I've I've I've
never met Joelle in person, and I love her and
I tell her I love her before we hang up.
I tell her I love her. I tell Dan the
same thing. And you know, it's throw COVID out of

(07:57):
the situation. Let's just let's just talk about life in general.
Nothing's promised, Tomorrow's not promised, you know, the next hours
not promised. But I think it's important that we tell
our loved ones and the people that mean so much
to us how we feel about them. Yeah, and because
one it could it makes them feel wonderful, you know

(08:20):
what I mean? Oh, you know, to be loved by
somebody feels good? Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
It does.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
And it doesn't cost you anything to profess your love.
That it doesn't cost It doesn't call I feel like
I'm Brene Brown right now, but it doesn't. It doesn't
cost you, as a human being anything to express it.
And we shouldn't. I think what you're saying, what I'm
getting for what you're saying is we shouldn't be shy
or insecure about expressing our love.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
And that's because, of course, when the person dies, you go,
oh my god, I hope that I told them enough times.
I love With my father, you know, he was eighty
four and cancer was ramping up, so we had plenty
of time to be allying and to be and to
be hugging him and kissing him and telling me he
love you and clearing up any bullshit. But with you know,
with with Nick, it was just like we chopped him

(09:10):
off of the hospital. We didn't. We didn't get to
say anything.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's crazy, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I mean I did tacee time goodbye, but I don't know.
I have no sense of I have no sense if
he heard any word of it. I feel bad these
people turned in for a comedic podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, you know, we're talking about the epist.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
We're keeping it real as they say.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
They say, we're keeping it. We're talking about the episode.
Let's get into some other things though, before we start
this episode. Dude, Okay, so the mayor has said that
he will shut off your water in Los Angeles in
power and good for him.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Good for him.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You Okay, if you throw a party and there's a
bunch of people in your house and you've been warned
now that the mayor said the mayor has said I
will cut off your water, I have a little bit
of a problem with this. I'm not going to dude.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
He's trying to come up with some out of the
box ideas. These people are still throwing fucking parties every day.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I totally understand that. I totally get that ship, but
when everybody leaves, I still need to wash my ass. Well,
you shouldn't have thrown a party.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
That motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Why did you throw a COVID party? Why do I
want to cook something?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
How can how can Garcetti our mayor punish you the
idiot who through a COVID party?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
He can? You know?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think the reason with the thing with the fine
is people people with money are like, fuck it, I'll
be the fine, and he needed to come up with
some out of the box way to punish people. And
then what can the government control your powering, your water?
He's I'm sure shut that shit.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Off right now. Look, some people are mad about this,
Some people pe ode about this.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Like Joel and Daniel. What are your thoughts on this?
Don't you think it's kind of a badass, out of
the box idea.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
It feels like the best parental threat that's never gonna happen, Like.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
I'm your door off. It's the bridge storing down there.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
But the threat might keep me, you know, in control
and my my temper, my expectations of what I might
be able to get away with. So I feel like
it's one of those I've had. A twenty four hour
power shut off is like a really great like brot
that don't.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Do it, but it's like a.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Human access that makes it feel weird.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's like a parent going on Donald that I always
see Donald do that ship with his kids. Whoa he
never he never gets to three. He's like two point six. Right.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's not because my kids all of a sudden's like, Yo, dude,
Dad Dad, dadd Okay da da Dad Dad Dad. I'm okay,
I'm good. It's because I can't my punishment. I don't
want to deliver the punishment. Dan say something. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Personally, I think you know, the big problem with people
throwing parties in LA is that, like it's not you know,
Joe rich person inviting their friends in the neighborhood over
to their house. It's like kids who will rent an
empty mansion invite five hundred people over and like even
then they're drinking the thirty racks they brought over and

(12:10):
smoking weed in the backyard and then leaving. Like turning
off the water and power at that place isn't going
to do any So.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
The poor guy who rented in the house is like, yeah, exactly, though.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I think, you know, if it's the kind of thing
that's going to end up punishing a whole neighborhood, and
it's a kind of a group effort to be like,
if you fuck this up, for everybody in the neighborhood,
you're fucked.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Then like that might.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
That that really brings the commute. I mean, what I'm
saying is like, if you want to make a punishment punishment,
it's got to be a punishment punishment because if it's like,
just turn off the water to this one place.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're suggesting that he turned off the water for the
whole street.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
No, I mean like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I mean, look, I just I'm saying it's I don't know,
I don't least I least appreciated. Listen. I love it
when someone comes up with an out of the box idea. Yeah,
there was some meaning. There was some meaning in city
Hall where they were like, there's anybody having out of
the box.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Sometimes, what if we turn off their water and power?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I don't know. Oh, I don't know. Man, It's crazy.
It's crazy because people don't give a fuck. As you
see I mean, as you see you.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Going to the store. There's some bullshit going on where
people are like, I'm part of an alliance and we
will sue you if.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I saw that you know what, that was a Meg
that was like an extra Karen. That was like Karen.
That was like a duble black diamond Karen.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
That's uber Karen. That's uber Karen double.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
She had this fucking Karen had a fake Karen badge
and she was giving out fake citations. Two employees of
this store that told her to put on a mask.
She was like, I'm with the Freedom Alliance and you
will be sued for infringing upon my right. I mean,
the woman made a fucking badge.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, to be a.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Federal agent, which is definitely fine.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
That's definitely a crime. That's a felony.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
You cannot do that. It's just so redye. And what
is this poor girl making six seventy five an.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Hour gonna do. She's just working. Okay, she's right, she's bad.
That's not so bad for that girl.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
She she clearly didn't understand if this was a legit
paperwork or not.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
She was like, uh, okay.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
For you.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
She got her manager. Her manager was like, shot, I don't.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Know, like the manager of a supermarket's gonna know whether.
I mean, the woman was clearly fucking bad ship I mean.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Anyway, was like a federal agent. We're in some strange times.
People aw man, and people are just losing their mind.
But it's okay, it's okay, it's oh.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Are you sure it's okay. I need you to come
for me like you come for your children.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Listen, it's all good at the end of the day,
as j D says, yeah, some of them like this
is gonna you know what, as a matter of fact,
let's do this and then I'll get into my summary
of the episode. I'm six seven stories. I'm not show.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
We made about a bunch of times and nurses in Canada.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I said, he's the stories natural. So YadA round here,
yeader round here.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
I wanted to say, what you're trying to get it?
You know, if you say five to six of eight,
it starts the theme song. But if you say what
two three, it goes in what you're trying to get into?
What dash watch you trying? Oh there's been remixes of.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
That song, such a hit song.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
I got a lot of people telling me who are
in the music industry that the song is fire. If
it only had more than one lyric, it would be
a hit.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, look, man, you know, tell them to write some shit.
I'm sure Charlie t can write something. Dudes writing five
dollars foot long commercials now five dollars.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Hey, listen, let Charlie make his money.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Charlie, get that money, baby. Everybody needs a purple Lambeau, right, right,
of course they do. From that.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's not from the Donald Glover song. This is America.
Make that money, make that money.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, he does say that.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
He does say that. I love to know Donald Glover man.
I love Lando Calrissian from now on. Whenever I see your.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Fucking Star Wars Bengo card everybody.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Now on, whenever I see Donald Glover, he is. He's
no longer childish scambino, He's now Lando.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
I don't get him, really, the guy really did. I
never knew Donald Glover because I didn't watch the show
he was on. I didn't watch Community, Unitator Community, And
then I mean, holy shit, what I just had. I
was so naive to the genius of this man. He
is a special human being.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
He's got talent. Man reminds me a lot of my
best friend Zach Raf.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh so you're saying I'm like a Jewish Donald Glover.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Sure, sure, if you want to, If you want to
put it into If you want to turn it into
a religious thing, you are a Jewish.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
The screenplay I've written is ready for your for your reading.
Are you gonna? Are you gonna read this one?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Are any black people in it?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
There are some black excuse me, black African Americans.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
You could say black.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I just think it's so No. I just think it's
funny how some people white people are like nervous. They
they're not sure if they can say black or African American.
So they start they end up they going like this.
You know there are some black African Americans, it becomes
black African Americans. I think white people are a little
confused at first. All allowed, I say black or African American.

(17:40):
What's the verdict? I always say I say black. I
say black. But I feel like if I'm being formal,
like if I was giving a speech, I would say
African American. But if I'm talking to my two black
friends here, I would say black. Is that Okay?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I have no problem with it. Uh, let's get to
the let's get into the breakdown.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, let's hear your summary.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, so ready this episode. You don't need the you
don't need to stop watching anymore because I'm not keep
it with it because I'm much keep it at thirty.
We know we're gonna try and keep it in thirty.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
No. Part of my joy, My joy is timing things.
But that's yeah, but you like, my sister was a
competitive swimmer when she was a child, and my dad
got so into it. He was the guy with the
parent who would have the stop watching around his neck.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Would he be like, well, show shit, yeah, yeah, yeah,
can't that was slower than normal.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, he would scream at her so much that she said,
fuck swimming.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I hate this.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
But but that's the story for it. That's a ran
for a different episode. But no, I enjoy timing you.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, okay, you ready get it going this episode, Turk
is ready to for the next step in his relationship
with Carla. Elliot's done changing into her scrubs and a
co ed locker room. Jab and Cox both realize they
make a good team. That's not what this episode's about.
And the hospital people come and go. Sometimes it's because
it's where people work, but often it's because they're sick

(19:00):
and they die. We try so hard to control our destiny.
We try so hard to tip the scale but things
don't work that way. Somehow, life and death always find
a way to balance itself out.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's beautiful. I'm not even gonna tell you were four
seconds over that was so good. No, it really is
a beautiful episode because it's got some funny ass shit
in it and it's got some memorable stuff. I like
it when these episodes, it's funny. Sometimes they have like
three memorable moments that you'd like, Sarah and the burlesque
outfit that you didn't even know we're all in the
same episode, but I remember doing that burlesque things Sarah

(19:38):
do too.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yes, and it's true.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
On Scrubs wiki it. It actually has a true bit
of trivia that Bill bet her to go in her
burlesque outfit to the Starbucks and get everyone coffee. Yeah,
we thought it would be a big deal, but like
in Hollywood, no one even like looked twice right, that
was a moment I always remember. And Rob. Rob looks
so funny. You know, some people don't look normal. Smoke

(20:05):
and a stogytog just fits perfectly in Rob's mouth, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
He looks like the guy.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
He looks like the guy who he's like, Wait, the
way he's holding it and like sitting in the front
row of the strip club. I know he's wearing Someone
pointed out he's wearing black boxers, not has been an
infamous banana hammock.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, I noticed that too. I don't think banana hammock
was introduced you. Oh, no, it was introduced because.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
He goes, Yeah, it was. It's hard to believe that.
I guess that there must this must come from a
true story of there being a co ed locker room
in the hospitals. But it's I am.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I am with Ted on this. I don't mind a
co ed locker room.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, but don't you think in a coed locker room,
I imagine I've never think I've been in one, but
people would be mostly covered up in the robe or something,
and then they go and they do their changing. It
wouldn't be like in this episode, there's this naked woman
who's just walking around, of course, or she looks like
a model, and everyone's just and everyone's gawking at her.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And there's nothing but there's nothing but boys in the
locker room. In the locker room also, so it's like
Sarah and this naked lady and then a bunch of dudes.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
And that's not in the locker room because I never
I never played sports, so I always thought it was weird.
You know, in movies, I see guys in the locker
room all walking around naked, and everyone just you know,
smacking towels and asses and cocks are out. I always, always,
I always feel weird whenever I'm in the locker room,
like it.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Is dirty cocks are Uh. I didn't say. I didn't
say it was like a girl. I wasn't like, I
wasn't like asses and cocks.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, But I mean whenever I'm in like I am
in a cod, I'm not a cod. Whenever I am
in a locker room, and like I occasionally I go
to was hotel, spa or something, and it's always like
old man ass at the urinal and like the guy,
and I just feel very uncomfortable with it. And as
a jock, I wondered if you were more com well
with just cocks being woven around everywhere.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
This is so here's here's my whole thing on it.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Because in the movies, we non jocks, we see these movies,
it looks like everybody's fine with cocks flying around.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I worry that somebody recognizes me and it's full of
judgment and I can't stand that shit.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Okay, but I'm talking about before you were famous.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Did you did you group shower?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I would shower in my When we would go to
the pool in my neighborhood, I would shower in my
swim trunks.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah. I did the same thing.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, granted, if there weren't enough showers
for all of us to get in, we would share showers,
you know what I mean, A bunch of dudes sharing showers.
And I remember somebody saying, what are you guys gay,
and me being like, wait a second, why why am
I gay? Because I'm sharing a shower with this guy.
It's freaking It's there's no showers available, and I want

(22:54):
to go home.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
I want to It's interesting to the young sausage. It's
interesting that the the young male is so terrified of
being gay. I mean, I'm sure I'm a hope, I
hope that this is decreasing in the psyche of young men.
But I remember I was so worried. I once held
my hand like this with like with a This is
a true story. I just thought it the other day.
I was a little boy, and my hand was kind

(23:16):
of like dangling like this, like a limpristed thing.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
And I looked at it as though I was.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Being attacked, and I ran to my mom. I swear
to God, this is so. I was a little boy,
so forgive me. But it was humiliating, and it made
me think about it. I went, mom, I did this
with my wrist. Does that mean I'm gay? And it
was so ingrained in us. Now granted we I was
born in seventy five years, born in seventy seven, and
our childhood was so ingrained that like, that's fucking horrible.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's like, mom, Mom, look at my wrist. Did I
catch it right? Right? Look at my wrist? Or putting
your hands on your waist the opposite waist, so it's
standing like Forrest Gump. And now you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Or I remember once in middle school or something holding
my books like around up to my chest like this,
and somebody like, what are you fucking gay? And so anyway,
just I think of all that stuff, you know, is
as society becomes a little more comfortable talking about sexuality
and and and all of the wonderful things that are
coming to the to the surface. Yes, I'm now thinking

(24:17):
of our childhood and and and and how how scary
it was that I was fucking running to my mom
and pointing at my wrists, like did I do I
have it?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Hyper masculinity sounds exhausting?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Oh my god, what terrified?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Being afraid of how you like? And I mean we
thing's across a lot of different like smaller groups of people.
If you break us down that like, if you hold
yourself in a certain way, suddenly you're perceived as a
threat or as wrong or you know, as being normal.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, dude, it's being black in America. I'm sorry, I
just know you're good.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
It just it just sounds it just sounds really exhausting
to costly have to worry about you're holding yourself is
going to make you a target. And then of course,
you know, for people who actually were a game, we're like,
oh yes, I am gay. Crap, I have all this
whole world looking at me and attacking me. And uh,
it's and like I grew up, you know, in rural Illinois,
and I knew I was queer pretty early, and so

(25:18):
we had like some of these aspects. But I think
it's it's easier for what's easier for me to get
vibe in. Some of my more uh outwardly expressive friends
put it that way. It's I just I can't even imagine.
I wanted to ask you guys too. You guys were
theater kids, and I feel like theater kids have such
a reputation for constantly being partially nude or like in

(25:39):
a state of undressed around each other or at least
you know, as I was coming up in theater, and
was that not the same for you guys? Was it
not that way?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Not just for me being just in theater alone? Was
was was? Uh? You know, you get you hear that,
you hear what people say. You know what I mean,
when you're an actor and you're young and and you're
doing theater and stuff like that, you know what, you
know how people No.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
But she's saying, like where their instances were because we
were changing in backstage and stuff. Where was their nudity there?
That wasn't really a case for me.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
That wasn't a case for me.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Well, what the thing was that I loved about it
was affection. For some reason, there was permission when I
went to theater. Cam I'll never forget it like there
was no taboo in being affection with each other men,
hug men. And it was the opposite of public high school,
which was so rough, And this was an environment of
support and love and hugging and cuddling. And I just

(26:37):
never wanted to go back. I would I would fucking
sob when I had to come back to public school.
Here's here's where like utopia.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Here's where it gets scary though. So I went to
a private school that was for just you know, people
in the entertainment industry, and even at a school where
it's just at the when I was there, at least,
I can't say it is like that now, but when
I was there, at least, people were kind of outcasted
for being gay, you know what I mean, Like not

(27:05):
thrown out of the school or anything like that, but
you know, all the straight dudes seem to be afraid
of the gay guy, you know what I mean. Like
really performing art school, performing art school in Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm really surprised because that feels like that's where those kids,
if they could get in, would go.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Right. This is the nineties, this is the eighties and
the ninety early nineties, And I just remember thinking wow,
this is this is crazy, man, this is you know,
I remember, I remember, I remember being at that school
and being one of the only black kids at the
school as well. You know what I mean, there was
only like five or six of us in this private school.

(27:45):
And I only bring all this stuff up because of
the beginning of the episode. You know what I mean.
Go on, Turk shows jd The Ring, Yeah, and he goes, oh.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Wow, this was a fucking epic prologue for this joke.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's not a joke, but it's but it's I mean,
the joke, it's a joke. But yeah, well it is.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
A joke, it has it has social commentary in it,
but it isn't meant to be a joke, right.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Turk shows Jadie the Ring and Jady goes, oh, it's beautiful,
but my parents would kill me if I married someone black,
a black guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, I went to well when I was When I
was fourteen years old, I had had a friend moved
to Argentina, Buenos Aires suburb of Buenos Aires, and my
parents are arranged with two other groups of parents to
let us go down and visit him because he missed
us and he was our best friend. One of my
friends was black, and we went down to this suburb

(28:38):
in Buenos Aires and this was a neighborhood where they
had never clearly they had never in real life seen
a black person. And he walked in. It was like
the record scratch and they were It wasn't that they
were I don't mean to imply that they were that
they were disrespectful to him, because they weren't. They were

(28:59):
just like, holy shit.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
That dude is a black guy, right yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
And he was like, you know, and I remember we
went to a nightclub and they were like, dance, dude,
do some of the dancing.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
He couldn't dance to say the no, no, no, I
say this story.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
He was the worst fucking dancer you ever met. No,
you know, I always laughing this story. He felt like
this onus to be like a good dancer, but he sucked.
And so we started doing these stupid moves like faving
his arms, and you could see like everyone in the
club being like, oh, that must be the new move,
and they really started doing this.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It's like Ronald Miller and Can't Buy Me Love Man,
only he's doing the Africanani the ristraal. But if the
Romster's doing it, it must be hip.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Yeah, bro.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Anyway, my point is, my point is, uh, I don't
know that I have a point, but this episode, really your.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Point is is very valid. Donald that the first sentence
making a joke about marrying a black guy, uh, touched
something deep inside you that you dealt with when you
married the love of your life. And we still live
in a society where that's the thing, and we hope
one day it's not.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Absolutely let's take a break.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
We'll be right back after these fine words.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I'm still in the cold opening. But uh, when Turk
shows him the ring and he's like and JD's like,
it's beautiful, but like my parents would lose their shit
if I married a black man. And then they're like, well,
this is what I was thinking. I was got to
make her a dinner, and you know, i'd put it
in the wine in her champagne glass and you said,
that's shamp JD goes as well, that's shamp champlain champlain.

(30:39):
He's like, well, what would you want me to do?
He's like, well, this is what you do. You get
some candles, put it out.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
You're starting to sound like Damon Wayne's in Beverly Hills,
coun take these bananas.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Take these bananas, and then you get some roses and
you put the roses out and and and then Turk's like, yeah,
because the roses make everything smell great and stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
And then springtime medicines.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
And then Carla walks in and he goes, what are
you guys talking about? And we go, no, nothing, nothing,
just guy stuff. And no, we go bitches and hose. Yeah, no,
we go just guy stuff. And JD goes, yeah, bitches
and hose and stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
By the way, the same joke about masculinity, it's actually
exactly the same thing we're talking about that j D
and Turk are talking about, like, no, it'd be like
a meadow in springtime. And then Carla comes in and
we're embarrassed. So then we obviously overcorrect because we don't
know how to manage our masculinity, our fake masculinity, and
say bitches and hose, right, But I mean, I mean,

(31:33):
it's the same thing we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
That being said, I thought I did a pretty good
pratfall in this episode.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
You did I wrote down? I want you to know
I wrote what did I write down?

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Here?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
I said, look at Donald with your dope ass pratfall
and you did that. You did that, didn't you?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
I did that myself. That was me.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah. Now, I don't know why there was such a
rush for Turk to get to the garbage disposal. I mean,
no one had turned it on. I don't know why
you had to dive over the counter in a way
that might break your back, but you did.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
But because she poured it down the sink. I don't
think they have a garbage disposal.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Do you know one garbage disposal?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
It's only one sink and you can I don't know, dude,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
There's there's some trivia bit Trevor Wickie knows do Does
JD and Turkey have a garbage disposal? No? I was kidding,
that's not on there. I kissed Sarah's booby when she's
when she's doing the burlesque thing. I'm just I wanted
to just, you know, circle it back around because we
did talk about her latching onto my nipple in the
previous podcast, and and I just wanted you to know

(32:36):
that I in this one. I returned. I did, I returned.
I didn't do ariola, but I got a little side,
little side boob kiss in there. You also made it
when you did your jump, you made a little bit
of a JD injury noise, you did.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
A little maybe. Bill added that I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
No, I think it's you. You were trying to jokingly
do a JD heard himself noise.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Was it that famous at that point? Had it gotten
to the point where it was pretty clear that every
time you fell, we were gonna make the I don't
know if.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I don't know if it was ever discussed like that.
How about Ralphie? I think you had fun hanging out
with little Ralphie.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Little Ralphie cracked me up. Uh, cute kid. First of all,
he's probably a man now.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
No, it's funny, dude, this is twenty years ago. The
kid's probably thirty.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Right, he's probably a grown ass man now, and it's
known as ralph I wonder if he's still acting. That's
the great question, you know what I mean. Like, for
a long time, people are like, what is the kid
from modern family Ralphie from Scrubs?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
No, it's not no really, Oh no, well that that
kid is not nearly as old as Ralphie would be.
Let's say he's eight, he's twenty eight ish.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Those kids are all grown on modern pay, but he
was all of them.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I know, I know. Oh I like it when you
go first of all, when you put your fingers in
the hot coffee.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
That was funny, you go hot, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that
was funny.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
And then I like when you're like, push the dukie out, Ralphie.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Push the dukie out. Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
The kid eats a diamond engagement ring. How does that
not cut up fuck up your intestinal digestive system.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I imagine your digestive system can handle something that's smooth out.
It's not like it was jagged.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Edges.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
I just feel like it would be dangerous to swallow
a diamond in a child's fresh, brand new digestive system.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Didn't Isn't that what happened in Blood Diamond? Didn't he
swallow that big ass diamond? And Blood Diamond with Leonardo
DiCaprio my favorite actor.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I don't think I ever saw Blood Diamond? Should I
watch it?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh? It's a good one.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh you know what I was gonna do for you
because I'm going a little quarantine crazy, like you know,
you guys feel this when you gotta like, all right,
new Quarantine Chapter I gotta shake some shit up, right,
that's what the mustache is.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I got my xbox.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I'm about to try Red Dead Dawn. What's yeah? Because
hit Man, you know, I killed everybody, and I'm gonna
try Hitman again. But I think I might try just
being on the planes. I don't want to hurt anybody.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Okay, Okay, you're gonna you're gonna hurt some people.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I'm just like people death killed.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm gonna play hit Man two and Red Dead Redemption,
but one of my new you know, I'm just trying
some new chapter things. I was gonna watch something I've
never watched that you're very passionate that I watch, and
that is the Lord of the Rings series. I've never
watched all three of them, all the listeners, all three

(35:53):
of them look like they're having a heart attack. All
three of them look like Fred Sandford, And in some
ways I'm coming.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I have so many questions.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Okay, are you doing the extended director's cuts or.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Think you should look here's the thing, here's the thing.
What do you all recommend? How do I do about
like this?

Speaker 2 (36:13):
It's gonna be like not ten hours of my life, right?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
All right, guys, this is what I've learned about that
it's not necessarily the action that he gets stoked about.
If the story doesn't move he gets very very bored.
So it's not it's not like he needs a bunch
of action and fighting and stuff like that. He just
wants the fucking story to move along. Don't fucking take two.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Here's what I have no interest in, and this is
controversial for most of the country. I like character development,
I like dialogue. I like set pieces and beautiful sets
and cool cinematography. I get very bored when two supernatural
beings are fighting.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Okay, the.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Ultimate, the ultimate example for this condition I have is Transformers.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Let me just articulate Myransformer movie.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Let me just articulate my point.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Except for transform with the movie the cartoon.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Watch two our hunks of metal fighting and like crashing
taxi cabs, I couldn't give zero fus.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Yeah, dude, those come on, those movies sucked.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Come on, all right, But I love story, and I
know Lord of the Rings has great actors, and I
love cinematography. I know it's got that.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
I'm going to go for the extended cut. Yeah, you
should definitely go for the extended cut then, because there
are certain like Bormere story kind of gets jumped over
in part two.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
If you don't have the extension.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Well, you're gritting your teeth. You're so excited.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Oh my god, you don't even know.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Again, I watch like every year for many years. I
love Lord of the Rings. If it's on tn T,
everything stops. You're watching Lord of the Rings. Don't talk
to me every day that we buy the new one.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Should I try some jazz let us with it?

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Ah, it couldn't hurt, because then you're smoking with Gandalf
and that's always fine.

Speaker 7 (38:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
They smoked weed in the first movie.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yes, okay, good. Whenever they have jazz lettuce, I'm gonna
have some.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
They have some good. It's the finest, the finest weed
in the shire.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
All right, let's get back to this Ralphie. So Ralphie,
wasn't there a thing?

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Donald?

Speaker 2 (38:23):
I remember in the blooper reel around nine to eleven,
when Ralphie's dag drags him out that the kid nailed
the door.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
I feel like I remember that. If you're if you're
so inclined, you could go look at the season two
Blooper reel. But I think that that moment when Ralphie's
dad is aggressively pulling him out of the lobby, I
think the kid lost his bounds and nailed the door.
He was fine, not laughing at a hurt child, but
it did look like it hurt. We probably could have
won America's Funniest Home Videos.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Oh man, I would have loved that. One hundred thousand
dollars in my pocket.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Nine fifty five, when Cox goes G D COLN O
B g y N prep the nick you and then
it cuts to me and I just keep writing in
a chart. I'm like, what the fuck am I doing?
Like this woman's about to fucking die?

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Here's what Here's what I don't understand now.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Clearly what happened was that the dad had another line
to me so I couldn't leave. But I really got
annoyed that Cox is like, call prep the nick you
call new jib guy N and then you cut to
me and I just continue to proceed to write in
a chart, Like what am I writing in a chart?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
I have the only problem I had with it is
why are they at this hospital?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
And Cox is their doctor. Shouldn't she have had a
I think they.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Always go to no that they've come into a hospital,
local hospital with an emergency. We're having a baby problem.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
But you would still call your you would still call your.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I don't know, I mean some of that, some of
that's some of that's a little lax here, dude. Remember
in early episodes, Todd was gonna do a fucking woman's
breast augmentation.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Right right right, like a classic surgeon.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Some of that were some of the some of the
rules of that are a little bit thrown out, even
though the AMA says were the most accurate.

Speaker 8 (40:09):
I did.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
I did like the fact that Cox and JD were
looking at themselves in this married couple that was about
to have a baby. I thought that was very funny.
The lady who was about to deliver his Cox.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
And yeah, that kid was That kid was clearly cast
to be JD ESQ Right, I agree? Now, Yes, what's
the matter dude?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
My back?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I've never seen this? Maybe, why didn't you get a
Why didn't you get a nice chair for yourself?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Because I have to bring it all the way up
to the closet.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
This is forty six, guys.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I wish you could see him forty six.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I wish you could see him. He's lying.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
You look like I look like job at a hut.
I know, I know, yes, you look like hut.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, you need you need like, uh, you need like
you need a little chained uh land.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Next I need Selatious Crumb, and then I need a
chained Uh.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Is that the guy with the snake thing around his neck?

Speaker 1 (41:15):
No, that's that's a bit for Tuna.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
I need somebody, my god, you know everybody's names.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
I need. That's the parrot. That's Silatious Crumb, Silatious Crumb.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
No, but I think I had the action figure of
the snake neck guy for Tuna. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Great character is that it's Jaba no bog Is that?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Is that a job as like a side side piece henchman.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
No, that's his freaking uh that's his uh interpreter.

Speaker 7 (41:51):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Three P is the interpreter. He's the not the pet.
Silatious Crumb is the pet. He's more like, uh, you know,
he's the dude the job as assistant. That's who he is.
That's who Slicius Crumb would be.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Okay, I mean he's he's like his what's the name
of Puffy's guy with the umbrella.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Right like Farnsworth Bentley by whatever.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Hab it of farns with Bentley, is he doing that
for other people?

Speaker 7 (42:17):
Now? No?

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Man, you know just the same Listen, man, people come
to Hollywood or people become famous. Fawnsworth Bentley is him
and Casey Cobb are the two most famous assistants in
the history of being assistant. And Farnsworth went on to
I mean he stole the spotlight from Puff when he
was around. You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Like, what was special about Farnsworth Bentley? I just remember
the end he had to hold Puffy's umbrella.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
So much charisma. That man has so much charisma.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Are you friends with him?

Speaker 1 (42:46):
I've run into him a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I wonder what he does though for a living these days.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
I don't know he's a musician.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
I think he's doing like studio stuff behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Well we should place some of Farnsworth Bentley's on the podcast. Yeah.
I was thinking, Joelle, by the way, speaking about the
music conundrum that we're facing, I was thinking two things. One,
I could send you a list of like twenty songs,
and then you could go through iHeart to go through
the people and say, hey, do the guys have the

(43:18):
permission to play these songs and I won't pick like
you know the Stones or like Drake, I'll pick like
you know smaller acts. Yeah, speaking of music, by the way,
there's been a lot of demand for my fire workout playlist,
which I have now published on Spotify.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Donald, Yeah nice.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Now, I've never made a playlist public on Spotify, but
today during my downtime, I figured out how to do it.
And if you're listening since there's been clamoring, literal clamoring
from my fire Workout playlist, now, don't listen to this
if you're looking for what Donald likes to and you
want to hear Wu Tang and Drake and ever. Okay,

(43:59):
this is if you want to hear some girl Popever.
It's under on Spotify. It's under Zach Braff's workout playlist,
and I'm very excited to see how many listens and
plays it gets.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
At Zach Brash's playlist on Zach Blash, Zach Bras's playlist.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Workout, Zach Brat's Workout playlist.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Okay, is it like uh, Michelle Branches, she on her.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Did she make Ity Tobby? You think I'm gonna you
think I'm going to do a workout playlist without everywhere?

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Come on, bro, who's the other one that had the
the the dope song back in the day that was
in White White White Girls? Is at the making my
way down to if I Could Fall into the sky?

(44:51):
Do you think listen pass me by? Because you know
I walk a thousand my.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Just see, that's not a great workout song. So I
didn't do that. Anyway, If you guys like this, I'll
keep making them for those of you who like like me,
like working out to to pop.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Do you think Michelle Branch got mad when Vanessa Carlton
came out and was like, Yo, you're trying to take
my lane. You're trying to take my lane. I had
this ship first girl.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Jewel.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
By the way, Alicia Silverstone texted me and Donald because
she listened to the podcast where we.

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Talk called it so people, this could happen, This might happen.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
It's a slow play. You know, when you're courting someone
and it's a slow play, you can't be too come
on so strong.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
She called us very silly. She said I was wrong.
She was sixteen when she did.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yes, she said, uh video She said that she was
sixteen when she did her first Aerosmith video. By the way,
So she also said.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
She doesn't recall you being obsessed with her. She said,
you never mentioned once that's you're obsessed.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
I think I've told her in working with her that
I had a huge crush on her. Okay, should we
bring in the fan?

Speaker 7 (46:06):
Is the fan.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Break back? We'll be right back. Hi, I love man.
You got the beard like and you got breaking up
Ghostbusters outfit in the back of you.

Speaker 8 (46:30):
Yeah, all right, my quarantine beard, and then I'm joining
up with the Massachusetts Ghostbusters to do charity when all
this quarantine stuff goes away.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Have you ever buy a.

Speaker 7 (46:44):
I wish I could.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
But wait a second, I have a question. So you
what do you do when you dress up in this
Ghostbuster's outfit? You do volunteering, you said.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
Of some kind.

Speaker 8 (46:54):
So personally I've done nothing yet other than take my
nephew trick or treating. But right before the quarantine happened,
I was going to join up with the Massachusetts Ghostbusters
and do like conventions and parades and different things to
raise money for charity. And then quarantine happened. But once
it's all over, I'm going to go back and join
up with them.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Gods, the earth for the most wonderful people. I gotta
tell you, I just don't understand.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Are you sure he'll want to go back and volunteer
for your community?

Speaker 2 (47:26):

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Congratulations you were going to be a father and we

Speaker 7 (49:08):
Now all my questions are changing.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Yeah, let's get into him. What questions do you have?

Speaker 8 (49:14):
Well, I think question number one? And sorry Zach, but
this is for Donald. You know from this podcast, I
heard you have like eighty five kids.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
What do I do?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, he does. He's ninety seven children.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Not eighty five. Not eighty five. Come on, man, fifteen four.
The thing is shoot, well, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Well, you a Donald, you always say that. Just the
first year, you got to be very supportive. There's the
woman has to run the show, right.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Well, there's not much you can do the first year.
I'm going to be one hundred percent honest. Right now.
You can't do much for her other than support, and
you need to be one hundred percent supportive. And you
know have make dinners back. Yeah, that's right, make dinners feet,
rubbing back, rubber feet.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Uh, I can say say you look beautiful darling all
the time. Yeah, and uh, you're a very cute couple
of it. That's going to be an adorable child.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
Yeah, thanks, thank you. I'm still completely blown away.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
No, I know, I know a little something. I know
nobody else can see it, but maybe you guys can
describe it.

Speaker 9 (50:20):
I know Donald has been having a rough time with
his Instagram followers, so.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
I made an account the other day.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Nice. Oh my god, I'm a fan. I love it.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Oh my god, that's amazing.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
Instagram.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
It's a onesie you guys, and it says youngest Instagram follower.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
If this doesn't give me followers, I don't know what will.
I hope it not.

Speaker 9 (50:52):
By the way, these people like twelve billion at one point,
but I can give you the youngest one.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
And I appreciate that that is adorable. So you guys
seem just from looking around your background that you're very
into Batman.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Maybe, uh, kind of.

Speaker 8 (51:08):
Yeah, I'm definitely a Batman fan, but this is just
a weird corner of my office.

Speaker 7 (51:13):
I'm all over Marvel, Ghostbusters whatever.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Marvel DC Ghostbusters star.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Who's your favorite? Who's your Oh no no, no, don't
go there, please, who is your who's your favorite Batman?
Who ever played him in a film?

Speaker 7 (51:28):
Oh, that's a really good question for me.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Well, no one did ask.

Speaker 7 (51:32):
Specific Are we talking specifically live action?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yes, specifically live action and not Adam West, just films.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
And because Conroy is dope, you're right about that? Is
that who you're gonna exactly?

Speaker 7 (51:44):
Conroy is where I was going.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I would have gone with Adam West, but we're talking
about just feature films.

Speaker 8 (51:49):
So I think I'm gonna have to do something that
everyone's going to disagree with. But Ben Affleck, mainly because
I really enjoyed how they they did the combat and
got some you know, comic accurate scenes like Dark Knight
return stuff. Yeah, you know, I say, I say, uh,
I say, Affleck is one of the better Batman's my

(52:10):
favorite Batman for me?

Speaker 7 (52:13):
Yeah, Heaton's a good one.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
And it's that I take that back. It's not that
he's a good Batman. He was the best Bruce Wayne out.

Speaker 7 (52:23):
Of their Absolutely, I'll definitely give you that.

Speaker 8 (52:25):
But I can't get past the fact that at the
beginning of those movies, the first one is a bunch
of random purse robbers on the top of skyscrapers.

Speaker 7 (52:32):
For some reason.

Speaker 1 (52:33):
Why why are they on the side?

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Batman just shows up, lifts his cape, and slowly walks
forward until he gets shot.

Speaker 7 (52:40):
It's weird, right, that's now.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
You guys are why are you guys? You're both skipping
like the the artiste of our time, Chris Nolan.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Well, hey, Christian Battle was a good Batman, great Batman.

Speaker 7 (52:50):
I argue that those are more like villain movies.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Yeah, because Batman is not the star of those movies.
It's who he fights in those movies. That's exactly. And
you know my favorite line, and this is what I
couldn't get past, Rachel, Rachel.

Speaker 7 (53:12):
He has all that money and you can't buy a
voice changer.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
What it's because the city?

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Oh god, my favorite line from my favorite line, what's
your favorite line? My favorite line is what didn't make
the film? It was behind the scenes moment.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Do you want me to tear down your lights. That's
not Batman, that's Terminator. But it wasn't that was Terminator.
I was Christian Bale and Terminator. He's in one of
the Terminators. It plays John Connor and one of the terminators.
Talk about bail you. We are talking about two movies
with fucked up timelines. Wait timelines of these movies, wait

(53:54):
a second? Special man are like so fucked When Christian.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Bale screamed at the cinematographer that wasn't Batman, No.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
It was a terminator. He was pissed off because he's
doing a scene with the Terminator at the time.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Right, and the DP kept changing his lights in his
eye line, and he screamed down the DP.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Was you over to your law you know? The DP
was like, dude, we're making a terminator.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Okay, where where do you live?

Speaker 8 (54:21):
By the way, So I'm in Massachusetts Weston?

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Oh no, okay, this is so exciting. I'm I are you?
Are you? Is your mind blown that you're having a child?

Speaker 1 (54:31):
How how far along are we are?

Speaker 7 (54:33):
We? I'm assuming not very.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
I got a kid frothing from it's pretty early.

Speaker 9 (54:42):
It's about five weeks actually, when I was going with
back and forth with Joel. She originally we were going
to do this a little earlier, and she was like,
can we postponer? And it's like, actually, I started freaking out.
I was going way too public, way too early.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Yeah. I thought most people would wait like three months.
I mean, but maybe your friends don't listen to this,
so they won't know.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
They won't know we have a few So there, I'm
gonna get something we have to talk to before.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Okay, I would definitely tell you your friends that listen
to the podcast, definitely.

Speaker 7 (55:10):
Yeah. In fact, are you recording this? I hope you are.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
If you're not, we'll get you a copy or we'll try.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Thank you awesome.

Speaker 7 (55:18):
Uh yeah, So I mean, I am very excited.

Speaker 8 (55:20):
It has been obviously a crazy, terrible year for everyone personally,
that has been a really rough year for me. Right
the day that the whole state shutdown and the country
pretty much shut down was the day my mom passed away,
So it's been kind of rough. But h but this
is a nice good news story for my family. So

(55:42):
I'm really excited. In fact, I made my wife cry
right before we got on here, because when she told
me we were getting on I looked at the episode
that just dropped today and I did the math, and
I was like, wait a minute.

Speaker 7 (55:52):
Is this my philosophy?

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Because that she just happened to be something I was
watching right before my mom passed. So the whole musical
number at the end has been stuck in my mind
for the last six months or four months, or however
long it's been.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
Yeah, I cried like a baby in this episode for
the first time ever. You know, I've this is one
episode I remembered. I do remember filming this episode and
I remembered, uh, I remembered. I remembered. I've watched this
episode a couple of times, but this was the first
time that I, you know, because of everything that we're
dealing with right now, I cried like a baby.

Speaker 7 (56:27):
My god, it's so powerful.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (56:29):
Yeah, I actually think Chris has been a long time
fan and he's brought me along for the ride, and
I I believe it was this episode that when I
first started watching, I had to stop for a little
bit because it just.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
Gutted me.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Well.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
I was thinking we should play Waiting for My Real
Life to Begin by Colin Hay To end this episode
of the podcast, is that idea. That would be awesome
because Colin Hay is a friend of us and a
friend of the show, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind
at all if we If we when when we do
wrap this one up, to go into it because it
I mean, if you haven't heard his rendition of the song,
you know, in this episode we've turned into as it's

(57:12):
beautifully arranged, but but we've turned into a bit of
a musical number. But it's it's a it's just a
song with Colin Hay sings alone on the guitar, and
it's a it's a really special song.

Speaker 8 (57:23):
You guys turned to be into a Colin Hey fan.
After my overkill, I went to deep dive on his music.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
You know what he ever it comes by the way
he when when the world opens back up and he tours,
I mean, you're gonna have a baby now damned a
hands full. But let's say somebody wants to babysit for
you guys, you gotta go see him live. He it's
he's always plays small venues and it's just usually just
him and a guitar and he he's hilarious, so he'll
do he'll he'll just be you know, like most these musicians,
if you go see them in like a small venue,

(57:51):
they they tell a little anecdote and then they're strumming
their guitar and then they go into the song. This
guy will do like stand up like hilarious jokes as
he's just sitting there strumming, and then he'll go into
a song and it's it's really great wherever you are
and you're listening to this if keep an eye out
for whenever Colin hay comes to town, because I promise
you it's a great show.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
Do you have a favorite Colin Hayes song?

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Fector Yes, oh gosh, I have a couple, but I
just don't think I'll get over over you is probably
my favorite. I drink black coffee every morning, Come come up.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Play That's far Away.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Far Away. When I'm done, I feel like talking about
you use less to say. That's like the worst breakup song.
It's a great breakup song because you're like it says
so many things you want to say to the person,
like I miss you, but do you miss me? And
I like when he goes don't want you to think,

(58:50):
don't don't want you think? I don't get asked to
dinner because I'm here to say that I sometimes do.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Boomlet no do do do do do?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
But if I live till I can no longer climb my.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Stairs, I just just don't think get over you. You
got we serenaded your new baby.

Speaker 7 (59:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
My favorite line of that song is don't want you
thinking I'm unhappy? What is closer to the truth? And
then he says, if I live till I was a
hundred and I just don't think get over you that one?

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Or should we play that one or the one on
the episode when we hear that episode, let's play because
that one, that one's too melancholic. I mean, they're both melancholic,
but it's been a melancholic episode, so it's okay except
for birth and new beginnings and young You guys should
name the baby Semba. I think, okay, it's exciting instead

(01:00:03):
of the Lion King reference.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
I know, but I was thinking more like Donald or.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
How funny would be this if this this, this couple
had a baby named the Dash and I'd love It'd
be the best day of my life.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
It's a Nigerian name.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Guys, guys, we've gone, We've gone very long. But but
do you have a question for us, Uh, I might
be beyond baby.

Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
We both kind of set up a question.

Speaker 9 (01:00:33):
Do you want to go first or I guess my
question for you guys is, I mean, given the state
of the world right now and the fact that this
is based off of somebody who's working the front lines,
I don't know if this would be for you or the.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
But how do you guys think your characters would have
dealt with COVID?

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Oh, they would have jumped on it. I think j D,
Carla Elliott, doctor Cox, even Kelso. I think they would
have jumped on this. I think I think, uh, like
all of the you know, first responders out there right
now who are risking their lives and everything like that,
I think JD and the and the gang would have
done the exact same thing. I think this is something

(01:01:17):
that they would have said, you know, let's answer the call.
The hospital is going to answer this call. Sacred Heart's
going to answer the call. Let's let's make it happen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yeah, I mean, don't forget first and foremost, amidst all
the comedy, it was clear they were all really good doctors.
So I think that, uh, you know, that was important
to the writers, and that was important to JD, who
was the inspiration John Doris, who was the inspiration for
my character JD. So I think, uh yeah, I think
that they would. They would be all over it. You know,
there was an episode where we quarantined do you remember

(01:01:47):
with with with Tara Reid and she made quarantines. We
were all locked in the ICU.

Speaker 8 (01:01:55):
Somehow I feel like the janitor would be convinced trying
to convince you you have COVID M.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Yes, the janitor would definitely be up to his usual
highjinks like he was in this episode. He had a
pretty small part in this one, although I got ink
all over his uh his shirt because he.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Brought pin didn't match. Though the pin didn't match, you
gave him with sharpie and then at the end he
has a regular ringpin. Really yeah, okay Scrubs wiki. He
probably knows it's.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Not on Scrubs Wiki. And we don't want to get
him all riled up over something so small. We can
only Trevor out don't don't say his name three times
where he had materialized like.

Speaker 5 (01:02:35):
Yeah, day and it's like he doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
I'm not gonna ask him.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
Anything and now he's asking Trevor WICKI things.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
That's that's too we gotta stop. I get anxious.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
I get anxious. I get anxious when we talk about
calling him.

Speaker 7 (01:02:49):
I think that's the third time he's gonna show up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
He's here, he's here, he's in my house, Trevor, get out,
all right? Do you answer another question?

Speaker 8 (01:02:57):
Yeah, this one's kind of a more silly question. But
I remember when you guys had the call turk line,
and I know it was a real number. Did you
guys ever mess with any fans that called them?

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
It rang NonStop? Here's the thing about what was so
crazy about the call turk phone? So Bill, I guess
you know, I think it started with having a pet peeve.
If you ever noticed in movies it's always five five five,
you know that it has to be People don't want
to deal with a real number. It has to be
a fake number. And so Bill said, oh, let's just
make it. Let's just get the number. So it was
a cell phone, and it would sit in the production office,

(01:03:29):
and the production office was the center of all of
our of our dressing rooms because you know, picture it,
it's a hospital. All of our dressing rooms are hospital
rooms and what would be like the nurses station in
the middle of the ward was where a lot of
the production people would sit and the phone would just
be there and if it wasn't on silent, it would
ring NonStop, like NonStop, and sometimes when you're just sitting

(01:03:50):
around board, people would just pick it up. And we
ended up getting a map and with pins and we
would because people would call from all over the world
and by the time we were over it, I mean,
the thing was just covered. The map was covered in
pins from people from all over the world that would
just call. And so to answer your question, yeah, we
would just talk to people. We'd and then they'd be like, Zach,

(01:04:10):
we need you on set. I I gotta go. Here's
Donald And we just put Donald on like we just handled.
We would just hand around. People were so interested that
he'd talk to a pa. Donald be like I had
to go to here talk to one about pas and
like and like they would just like to talk to
anybody related to the show, do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Which suck would be Sometimes you'd be like, hello, you
called Turk and they'd be like, Hey, is this real?
It's real? It's who's this, It's it's it's Donald Fazon.
I played Turk. Is JD around? No, no, no, Ja,
Zach's not around, he's on set right now. Okay, well

(01:04:46):
is doctor Cox around?

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Like that's bullshit?

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
We called.

Speaker 9 (01:04:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
It was fun and then and then sometimes we would
turn it off because was like, okay, it was just
ringing NonStop, and then it would sit there like lying dormant,
and then someone would turn it on and then would
just start right up again because of because the show
is globally popular and at any time if he turns
it on, it would be ringing right crazy. I don't

(01:05:17):
know what happened to that number? Was you try it?
What was it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
One hundred C al Town c A L like California Turk?

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
Yeah, yeah, are you guys trying now? I don't have
the phone, so you're not going to reach me, but
for all I know, one of our pas kept it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
I'm already talking.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Yeah, we've already reached out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
All right, we got to go because we've gone so long.
But congratulations, you guys were very excited for you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
I have a question for you guys before you leave. Absolutely,
Zach and I were talking about this. We know that
the episode we talk about the episodes and everything like that,
And sometimes there's episodes of fake Doctors, real friends where
we talk about the episode just a little bit and
we digress. How do you guys feel about that? As
listeners to our show?

Speaker 7 (01:06:02):
So I'm gonna be honest with you.

Speaker 8 (01:06:03):
I've seen every episode probably ten fifteen times. I don't
need to have you guys tell me what's on the episode.

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
I've seen it.

Speaker 8 (01:06:09):
I enjoy listening to you guys just tuck and when
you get to some of the behind the scenes stuff,
that's cool.

Speaker 7 (01:06:14):
But it's also just fun listening to you guys talk.

Speaker 9 (01:06:16):
Yeah, I love it, Like you guys have the kind
of friendship that I think we have with our friends,
and it's just like kind of hanging out with a
couple of friends and I'm like, yeah, I don't know
how we're talking about bubble gum.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
But I'm loving it, Like, yeah, well, I think that's
what we want to I think that's what we have
a few naysayers, and Donald and I are the kind
of people. First of all, I got to get off
Twitter because it's one of this quarantine has made me
read this shit too much. And most people are nice,
don't get me wrong. But that's not what we do.
When you're in the public eye and people write shit
at you, you see the nice things and you think

(01:06:50):
you thinking, and then someone writes something and it just
sticks in your head. And then so some of the
couple of Donald and I both had people like you
might want to talk about the episode more, and I'm like, well,
this is really going three thousand times better than we
ever thought it was going to, and more people are
listening than we ever thought we're going to. Should we
start fucking up what's working? Because we want we want

(01:07:12):
to go through the episode and point out what we
thought was funny. But unlike the other people that do this,
I think the office ladies who are killing it obviously,
but they go a little bit more meticulously through the episode.
I don't think that would Interestyle the night so much.
I think we probably get bored doing that.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
Yeah, and if you're a real fan, you know what's happening,
so like, just enjoy the ride.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Yeah. Should I start with these Marvel movies, the ones
I haven't seen? Or should I start with Lord of
the Rings? Because I was gonna start I've never seen
a Lord of the Rings film, and these guys were
saying I should start there.

Speaker 8 (01:07:40):
Now, Okay, go Marvel. My dad's a huge lot of
the Rings fan, and they are great movies. I enjoyed them,
But go Marvel.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
But we're definitely a Marvel fan.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
This is what I'm knowing him, knowing Okay, this is
what I'm gonna say, guys. Knowing him, I would say,
go Lord of the Rings because for him watching fights
like he in Game or uh I take that back
Infinity War, he'll be bored because there's nothing but fighting
the whole movie. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
I get more invested when there's really good character development,
and then I'm invested and I go like, like I mean,
just to take a movie like Rocky, It's like, I'm
so invested in these human beings I could watch them fight.
But when it's like get back here, Decepticon, I don't
give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Right. So look, here's the thing about the Marvel movies
that I'm sure you guys will agree with me on
Daniel and Joell as well. There's so many of them
that they've developed these characters so well that by the
time you get to Infinity War and Endgame, you're so invested.
Unlike unlike Lord of the Rings where they develop the

(01:08:46):
characters right in front of you as you watch. Okay,
go ahead, Dan say something, go ahead, nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
I just think I just think there is there are
emotional moments in both movies, yes, but there is one
emotional moment. I would say three. But near the end
of Return of the King, there's one emotional moment that
strikes me harder than any Marvel movie ever. Will I'm
just gonna throw that out there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Is that when she goes and don't spoiler.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
Bro, don't spoiler.

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
I can.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
I can say the line without its spoiling. Okay, I's
gonna be you're ruining this movie spoil anything.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
There's no way the way.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
I'm gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
You're gonna get to a point where some character says
I am.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
The Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 4 (01:09:33):
It is I the Lord of the Rings, and everyone goes.
You get to appoint the movie where someone says you
bow to know man, and my explodes with I don't
need to watch it. I mean, the thing is, you're
you're not even gonna know when it's coming. You won't
even know, and then it'll happen and you're just gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
Know what I'm gonna know when you know what you
know when I'm gonna cry. I'm gonna cry when when
when someone goes.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
I am the lord of the rings.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
We gotta go. This shows four hours off.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
Like dropping, just watching the last episode.

Speaker 7 (01:10:13):
Of Breaking Mad.

Speaker 9 (01:10:15):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Listen, you guys, say what you want to say. That's
a good fucking episode.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
I can't even talk about it. All right, you guys,
you're so fun. I imagine if we lived in the
same city and the Apocalypse wasn't happening, we'd all be friends.
But it's uh, you seem like very nice people. Congratulations
on gratulations on your young one. And be safe, stay
healthy and uh and and and give us a follow up.
Let you well know when send us a picture when

(01:10:43):
when you want to have the baby?

Speaker 7 (01:10:44):
Okay, definitely have to put her in that one day.
And thank you for continually just changing my life with things.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
We got more on the way for you. Just you wait,
we got more on the way for you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Be well. Man. I can't wait for you to put
on your Ghostbuster's outfit.

Speaker 7 (01:10:58):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Thank you, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Thank you have a good one. Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
I like that. I told you, man, I told you
it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
You fucked the whole thing up, though, dude, I really up. Really,
you'd be the worst.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Game show host ever. I am a game show host.
Fuck you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Well, that one probably sucks because you didn't tease anything.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Fuck you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
You got to tease it out.

Speaker 1 (01:11:25):
You don't sure you want to do community service? You
got a kid on the way, you have to do
some edging. I thought it was great. I thought it
was a great I thought it was a great interview.
I thought they did great. I thought they were genuinely.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
No, it ended up being great.

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
Just you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
You got excited because you wanted to be the one
to tell them and so you had. Yeah, but I
would have played it out a little bit so one day.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Whatever. Anyway, let's get back to the episode.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Yeah, we've gone so we've done one thirty eight. But
let's just continue a little.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
Okay, So let's there was one thing that I noticed
that happened in this episode that I thought was very funny,
and that was the candid camera gag.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
Why is the guy under the bed? That's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Yeah, that's ridiculous, right, because you're not supposed to see
what a camera is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Yeah, but he's not getting any shot from under the bed.
How about when you not when you when you go
and uh, well, first of all, I laughed out loud.
When when when when Ted Lawyer goes, I feel like
I'd be more productive if my phone dialed out. Samy

(01:12:33):
had some great lines on this.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
Or when he goes where did she get that idea?
And Sam goes, He goes, Ted, what are you trying
to do? He's just I'm trying to whistle. You don't
think that it was me? Or then when need him
to kiss at the end and he catches it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Yeah, it turns.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Around and Sam puts in his pocket to save it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
When when when you bang on the cabs it catch
Judy the lady thought you were trying to rob her.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
She goes, just take it. She puts the freaking purse
out the window. Just take it. That was funny.

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
How about Judy telling you she needs to think and
Carla telling you she needs to think. That's the most
fucked up answer you can ever get to a wedding robosal.
I know, and yet I think by the time most
people propose, I mean, I would think by the time
I dropped the question, I'd be ninety nine point nine
ninety nine. Sure I'm gonna get a yes. I'm not
gonna I'm not leaving any wiggle room.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
Well, I think a lot of people do think they're
gonna get the yes, and when they get the know,
it's you know what sucks is that, you know, when
you get the know and they.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Keep the ring, that happens. No, listen, man, do you
know people keep an engagement ring and then don't get married.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
That's fucked though.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Yeah, that's the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
It happens all the time. You gotta give the ring back, ladies,
we can't be engaged in the Moore. Okay, Well I'm
gonna need that ring, ladies, lay notice was a gift ladies,
and Dan please get how do you feel about it?
Here we go? We got a lady on the line, right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
All right, Well, let's hear Joel's two cents.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
If someone's giving me jewelry, I'm keeping it. Like, I
don't understand.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
I don't believe in curse.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Like you have to really intentionally put a curse on
a ring for me to be like, oh, I don't know, Joell.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
If someone gave you an engagement ring and you turn
them down, you'd keep the ring.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
How close are we stop?

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
That's fucked up to Dan, Dan, prepare the more you
know sound effects, because I have a public service announcement.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Guys, if a prospective suitor gives you an engagement ring
and you turn them down, give them back the fucking ring.
Speaking of you singing, you have a beautiful voice. At
the end of this episode, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
We sing a Colin Hay song at the end of
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
I know, I forgot that it was everybody At first.
I thought I knew that she sang. Jill Tracy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:09):
That's Tim Hobert's wife, right, Yes, Donald.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
That is Jill Tracy playing Elaine. And she is one
of our writer's very talented wives. He is an actress
and a singer. And she did such a little bit
of trivia for you. Jill Tracy is the name of
who on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Well, if you know the show Scrubs, you'll know that
that's the name of Nicole Sullivan's characters in seasons one, three,
and five.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Also, Kit Pongetti, who plays doctor Mitchell, the doctor who's
beside Kelso in the singing number, went on to play
Lady in season seven and eight.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
Yeah, goes on to marry the janitor.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Yes, and death has an appearance here Rolla Winston Randall Renson,
and he kills Ernie.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
The old man, older doctor that he kills is one
of our head stunt guys, stunt coordinators, Ernie. So yeah,
this musical number is beautiful and it was very theatrical,
and I remember thinking at the time, this is so beautiful,
but will it work? I mean, it's such a weird
It was so theatrical and such a different turn. But

(01:16:28):
here we are talking about how we cried and got goosebumps,
So twenty years later it still works.

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Well, it works. Okay, there's another reason why I got
goosebumps when I and I cried when I was watching this,
because when we were shooting this episode and we got
to this point in the where we're all together at
the end and she goes on a clear day when
I can see, and then we go into the harmonies.
I remember saying to everybody because we're lip syncing this,

(01:16:55):
I was like, everybody sing off key, and uh, the
first person to sing off key is Sam Lloyd. And
so it goes on a clear day when I can see,
and then Sam goes see, right, see whatever, and they

(01:17:19):
goes see it, and then we all go. So you'll
go on a clear day when I can see, and
then Sam will.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Go see.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
On purpose because we're all singing off key. You the
audience can't tell. But when we're doing that, because it
was it was already we were lip syncing, so it
didn't matter. Whatever we saying didn't matter. And so Sam
does that and if you watch, you can see me
kind of start to lose it in the in the
in the shot and it was just one of those moments.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Which it's time for some wackiness.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
I did, well, you know, did listen. We're dealing with
such serious stuff at the time. I wanted to, you know,
may alleviate the pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Yeah, well you did.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
You alleviated that shit, and it just, you know, when
I look back at it now, it was like, wow, Sam.
Sam was always game to have fun in that realm,
you know what I mean, And when he did that,
it so for me, going back to that moment, it
was a it's a moment that I that on one
I'll never forget because when it happened, I couldn't stop laughing.

(01:18:24):
It was my idea to do it as a gag
for the real but it turned out to be so
freaking funny at the time that like, you can see
me almost break if.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
You watch it, and uh, I'm gonna go back and
look for that Donald and.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
And uh it's all because of and and it's pretty
much because Sam Lloyd. Sam's the one that sets it
off too. If you look at it and who's in
the scene, it's Sam, It's Uh, it's Neil, it's Ken myself. Yeah,
but we're all we're all freaking It was so amazing
to me. We all sang off key at that moment.

(01:18:58):
I wonder, I wonder if any of the other actors
and actresses remember that. It's It's something that I'll always
hold dear because Sam was the first one to set
it off, and it always made me, you know, look
at him, like, wow, dude, you you you can play
or you'll play around even when you know it's a
serious situation, and and and and make it so that

(01:19:22):
we can all have fun. He was such a great man.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
