Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nice. Look at the tape on his headphones. Dan, can
you get him new headphones? Please? Yeah, you can get
him new headphones please. We're the most downloaded new comedy
podcast and the host can't have broken headphones. My headphones
broken anymore. Daniel has the power through iHeart to send
you new headphones. My headphones are no longer broken. If
you look, I have this beautiful thing called painters tape.

(00:22):
It holds it together. Well, I'm just saying that Daniel
has the hookup. Hey, Daniel, you could send me some
new headphones, and I appreciate that, but I'm gonna tell
you something right now. These are working just fine. But
if the people at iHeart feel like I'm just saying,
we could not iHeart for all the things they will
give us for free, like headphones, I'd be happy to

(00:43):
deliver you some headphones. I feel like I should stand
on another platform when it comes to things that iHeart
can give us for fear. Yeah, I think headphones. I
don't think. Yeah, let's think about the things that we
should ask iHeart for. Now that we are the number
one new downloaded comedy of twenty twenty, yeah, the most
downloaded comedy knew of twenty twenty, and I think that

(01:06):
makes sense number one, That makes sense number one in
that category. Yes, we found a category. We're number one,
number one. I don't think we can we can get
much free from iHeart, other than the gear to make
the podcast, like if your mic broke, or your headphone's broke,
or your digital recorder broke. I think the black top broke.

(01:26):
I need, I need, I need. I don't think the
top and a laptop to make this podcast work. I'm
I think it's gonna be a tough sell. I will
very fancy bottle of tequila? Have you have you? Did
you get your bottle of tequila? I did get my
bottle of tequila. I haven't opened it yet. Do you
know that's a three hundred dollar bottle of tequila? So

(01:48):
sipp it. It's funny. And he also to shoot it.
It was a sipp it. It's called sipping tequila, which
I didn't know was the thing, but I tried it
because I was did you shoot this? Did you shoot
the sipping tequila? No? I sipped it because I was
told this is very pricey tequila. You sip it, And
I sipped it and it was nice. It didn't hurt
like tequila usually hurts. Tequila hurts. Maybe when you have

(02:08):
a three hundred dollars model, it doesn't hurt so much.
You know what we should do? What's that? Since Will
is in the giving mood, yes doesn't. Will have a
mom named Paulette. Yes, Paulette Will, who is our overlorded
eyeheart and made this whole thing happen. His mom, Paulette

(02:29):
is a big fan of the podcast, and she's seventy
years old, so we're seventy years old. Happy birthday. The
fact that you are listening to my loud ass and
your seventy first time around the sun is amazing. I
hope this makes you day. I hope my loudness right
now it's so loud that you're like, whoa, it's my birthday.

(02:51):
Oh my god. I wish I had that energy at
ten thirty any more. I can't trick enough coffee to
have that kind of energy at ten thirty in the morning.
I am manufacturing this. What's this is? Once this is done,
we're gonna get woozy. You're gonna get I'm gonna get
very woozy. I'm gonna get very woozy. I showed Florence
trading places. She had never seen it. Oh my god,
we can make it, baby, me and you. It's a

(03:16):
it's a masterpiece. It really is a masterpiece of a film.
But you're wearing later. I remember that part. I do.
I remember from Sweden. I just watched it, and it's
amazing that dan Ackroyd in blackface didn't thought that he
would pass as a as an African American. Man, dude,

(03:39):
I told you, man, I certainly that what he says
when he walks into the freaking train car, I certainly
hope there's more. There's some space on this trend for me.
That shit is But the Jamaican accent, I'm laughing at it,
and I shouldn't be laughing out of them. Sorry, it's
so bad. I mean, it's it's so horrible, But it's
just money that in the world of the movie, they

(04:02):
they the characters thought that that was gonna fly in
the In the world of the movie, the dan ackroid
character Lewis Winthorpe, who is who Let's let's let's let's
let's just talk about his background. He's probably Ivy League
all the way. All he's done is ever done, is
Ivy League. When did he go to Jamaica long enough

(04:24):
to study how Jamaican people talk? One Act two and
picked up the dialect right like when where did he
go to school? That he was able to accomplish this,
and then not only that, when he was like when
they were like, when they were like when they were like, Okay,
we need to freak it. It's espionage. We need to

(04:45):
figure out a way on the on the train. When
we get on the train, we got to figure out
a way to get that briefcase. Okay, what do you
have that is useful for this situation? And Lewis winthorpe
Lewis Ray Louis raises his hand and goes, well, I
do a great Jamaican accent. So he hit me in

(05:06):
black face. I can get onto this. I can probably
get the suitcase, get the funk out of here, And
Billy Ray Valentine Eddie Murphy's character was like, yes, I
think that black face is probably the best angle for
you for this train. Well, he just made me realize
something I didn't realize before. Is Dan Ackroyd's character in

(05:28):
a costume because it's a it's a sort of a
New Year's Eve costume party. No, he's no, because he says,
I saw you with the some content, great African. We
had great time at the Benbul. So they're not in costume.

(05:50):
These people are actually playing. He's an actual Jamaican dude,
and Eddie's an African dude, and they met at an
African prince for black and a for Jamaican and African people.
They're right. But here's here's where I just realized that
the movie's a little confusing. Is that all those people
get in that train cabin and they're in costume but

(06:14):
and it's a costume party on the train, but they're
actually not. I mean, that's just a little bout something
I didn't realize before. Like they're in fake costumes. There's
a costume party on the train, but they could have
addressed as anything they could addressed. Why did they have
to be such broadcarros. Why did he have to be
in black face? Oh no, no, no, because he knows
what Winthorpe looks like. Hold on, now, he could have

(06:36):
put a mask on though it's a costume party, put
a Darth Vader mask on or something like that, and
that would have been a rap. Also, the guy in
the gorilla costume looks nothing like a gorilla, and yet
you're supposed to believe looks enough like a gorilla that
everyone's convinced that there's a there's two gorillas. Not only that,
but that the other gorilla in there thinks that the

(07:00):
person in the gorilla costume is a female gorilla. Holes. Yeah, yeah,
all right, there's a couple of holes in the movie.
But it's a masterpiece and I love it. So if
you've never seen Trading Places, I mean I don't. I
can't believe you exist. But if you've never seen Trading Places,
my girlfriend hadn't, and uh and she loved it and
we had a good laugh. All right, Donald, let's let's

(07:21):
start the show. Why don't you, Why don't you give
us some numbers that people love to hear? One, two, three, four,
Those aren't the numbers, Donald, Map six, seven, eight, about
we made about a bunch of docks and nurses, So

(07:44):
get around here. Yet around good episode. I remember thinking
at the time, this butterfly looked so fake. It looks
even faker in twenty twenty. Dude, I'm gonna be honest
with you. I just have I have a vague memory
of this episode, and so because of that, I felt

(08:07):
like when I was watching, I was like, oh, I
know what's gonna happen at the end, and then there
was that fake out. But then it happens. But then
what happened. What I thought it was gonna happen happens.
But there's that little fake out there where you're like,
oh shit, this is gonna go the other way, It's
gonna go the other way, and it doesn't. Yeah, they
subvert what you expect, which is good. You like, you know,
you don't want your audience guessing the end of the plot,

(08:29):
so it's always good to subvert expectations and shake it up.
And I thought this was a clever episode, having it
go one way in the in the in the first
part and the other way in the second. That was clever. Yeah,
and then it made me think, you know what I
should have I tried to write down all the things
that were different. We'll see if we if we if

(08:50):
we nail it. But okay, do you have a recap
ready for the world. I do. I think it's gonna
be a short one to day. I think it's not
gonna be as long. All right, you're gonna fuck up
the graph, guys, graph, But hold on, let me get
my stop watch. I bet you at the end of
the day it'll somewhat come back down to that thirty Mark. Okay,
here you go, and New Mark gets that go. In

(09:12):
this episode, we entered the Scrubs Molti verse, where things
are different but the same. Elliott doesn't want to let
a little girl down. Turk believes he's found his new
lucky charm, and the janitor has an army of custodians
hidden in his closet. Oh, man, would I do if
I had to do over? Hindsight is twenty twenty, Thank

(09:33):
goodness for twenty twenty one. But imagine if at midnight
when the ball dropped twenty twenty started all over it. No,
by the way, that was exactly thirty seconds, and you
had a beautiful little is it a pun there? Twenty
twenty Hindsight is twenty twenty, And then in the twenty
twenty one head explode emoji? You like that very clever?

(09:58):
Was that you or the Ganja coming up with that?
This is a ganja. It's a lot of ganja. Was
it you in the ganja working in cahuds to come
up with that? Little pun. It was a lot of ganja.
It was a lot of and when I said it,
and when I said it, I said it a while ago.
But when I said it, I was like, yeah, I've
come up with the new ship. Very clever. Oh you
rap artists out there. Yes, Donald was willing to license Welcome.

(10:22):
Donald was willing to license his hindsight is twenty twenty,
but it's turning twenty twenty one. Thing, the baby you're
welcome is the baby a popular rap arts. The baby
is fire dude, Holy caw, Look, yo, I was sleeping.
He's the one that talks like he's head like, kind
of like he got in VOTs kind of wraps me.

(10:44):
The baby who the want to talk like? That's the one. Yeah,
I got pro I'm cautious. He's seven. I'm cautious. I
don't know any of the baby's works from Charlotte. I
don't want to describe. His voice is raspy necessarily, but
he's got a very deep voice. But but it kind
of talked like that. I'm cautious. I can't do it.

(11:06):
I can't. I can't do it. A brother justice, But anyway, yo,
flavor the baby, the baby, I don't really know the
baby's work, but I'm not really I don't really listen
to it. If you sit in the car and you
just want to listen to some stuff, go to your iTunes.
You're on iTunes, hit the hip hop thing. It's nothing
but all of the top hip hop artists. I hit it,
and the baby came on and the baby was fine.

(11:28):
Right if if you get a chance to watch the
video for the song Bop Bop, that's pretty good. Great, Daniel,
is that the new computer you built on your work bench? There?
It is? This is the new computer I builts. But
you can have one of those. Daniel builds computers from scratch.
You could have one just like that. Daniel also charges
a lot of money for his computers. He's like, you
know the difference, Daniel. Listen, here's the difference between Daniel.

(11:51):
Who was that spot that used to come from? Daniel's
not gonna try and make a lot of money off
of you, but it's a lot of time it takes.
You gotta pay for his time, cheap bastard. My rates
are very competitive, are they? Are they competitive with what's that?
What's that? Are they competitive with fries? Absolutely? If you

(12:11):
try to get one of these big box stores to
build a computer for you. They're gonna be like, well,
that's gonna be a pretty penny right there. But I'm
happy to help you if you need any But anyway, Donald,
if you need a fancy gaming computer, Daniel custom builds
and then he and he also he streams what do
you call it? You twitch stream? Twitch? Very good? He
twitched selling such an old man. He twitched streams building

(12:34):
the computer so you could actually have watch your computer
being made. That's true. Wow, thank you for the plug. Yeah, everybody,

and be like, well I work this much on the computer,

Daniel what your stream is? Twitch dot TV, slash DJ

(12:57):
Underscore Daniel d A n L. Come check, man, if
you're doing these kinds of things, you know, I'm sure
some of you are. You can watch Daniel and his
friends chat while they build computers from scratch. It's pretty cool.
Thank you, You're so sweet. Thank you. I know I am.
By the way, I got you guys lovely Christmas presents.
And Donald's gonna try and say that from both of us.

(13:17):
They're not for me. I'm sure Donald's are on the
on on their way to your house as well. I'll
get his face. I'm gonna be once. I didn't know
we were doing gifts this year. Well, I you know,
there's no rules. This is our first Christmas together, but
I decided to usual Usually we you usually saved gifts

(13:37):
for second Christmas. Is No, that's bullshit. That's that's what
we're the most number one comedy podcast download new They
deserve a present? You want? You want to say that
in English? I don't know. I can never say it right,
say that adjectives, there's too many adjectives. New number one

(13:59):
new common podcast twenty twenty. Yeah, number one, the number
one most downloaded new comedy podcasts in twenty twice. All right,
let's tell you this episode. Okay, So, first of all,
there's an exterior establishing shot of Cox entering the hospital.

(14:21):
I told you we shot those. I told you, and
I know, and I never we shot them all at once,
obviously in the beginning of the show. And I don't
think they've ever used this one of Cox entering the
hospital in a first time ever seeing that, I've never
seed that. So there you go. This a little trivia,
And it's weird because then all of a sudden he's
in the hospital. If not, why not cut from that
into him entering the hospital? Why cut from that into

(14:44):
you guys already on the first floor or I mean
the third floor, walking doing your round. I don't know,
it's weird. Those shots are always weird, those establishing shots.
I don't know why they use them. I mean, it's
not even the same hospital. It's they're just they're they're odd.
But I guess they have to remind people who are
in a hospital, so they cut to a big shot,
big wide shot of hospital, or that at that, or
that the people don't live there and that they arrived there.

(15:05):
I guess. I don't know. At forty five seconds, you say, dude,
too deep, which we which I told you the origin
of too Deep, but will remind the audience. I had
no idea it made the show. I had no idea.
This was probably something that you were like, YO say
too deep. Well, too Deep had become a running joke
with us, because as as as fans of the podcast recalled,

(15:26):
my brother and I were once superstoned and we were
walking up the stairs and he put sneaking in, sneaking
and sneaking in late and he put his finger in
my butt cheeks. No, I mean your butth hole. Well, yeah,
I had pants on. I don't want anyone to think
like we were like walking up the stairs naked and
I and I and I turned back to him and
I said, instead of saying, dude, what the fuck are

(15:46):
you doing, I said, dude, too deep? And we both
started just belly laughing at the fact that it wasn't
that I was object objecting to the touch. It was
that the touch had gone too deep. Yeah, because it's like, look,
I'm trying to get We're trying to get in here quietly. Yeah,
and you're distracting me by sticking your finger too deep.
Later on, fine, now not the time, No, No, I disagree.

(16:07):
I think my analysis was. What was funny about it
was that it was saying, I'm not I don't mind
that you put your fingers between my cheeks, but this
time you've gone too deep. Anyway, this stupid joke became
a running gag between me and Donald and UH and
finally made it to Scrubs on in season three episode
what Is It three sixteen, Wow took a few years,

(16:30):
but Power Rangers, I have no knowledge of the packet.
I was going to ask you about that. I was like,
what do you know about the Power Rangers? Obviously you
know nothing because Power Rangers ho does not exist. Power Rangers,
how Rangers, whatever age they were intended for, it was
not me because I have no knowledge of the Power Rangers. Joel,
where they your age Ranger? The very first costume I

(16:52):
got to pick up for myself for Halloween was the
Ranger can't really and it was amazing. Yeah, you yeah,
to choose you had. Can you explain to me basically
the lore of that? What is their story? Yeah, they're
high school students, the whole of Ye, here's a very

(17:15):
fun nerd out, behind the scenes lore of how the
show got made for in America. But we're gonna sky
step that for five teenagers at school. Basically, aliens came
to Earth. There's one good alien he like gives them
some powers. When they team up, they can make a
big giant droid allah like Transformers. Uh, they're friends. They
do some karate, they hang out in the desert, they

(17:37):
ride motorcycles. They're the epitome of cool. But it was
very b right it was kind of done like a
B movie. No, very very very like the epitome of
uh uh syndicated show. Like you know, if you there
was the network shows and then there were the syndicated
shows that you made strictly for syndication. You would go

(17:58):
away and shoot like a crap ton of them. It
wasn't necessarily on an on any network. Just networks would
buy it and then they would use it as fillers,
like like a B sci fi movie. Yeah, well, I mean,
my my, there's a hole. There's a whole bunch of
things that are attached to this. But yeah, sure you
could call it a B sci fi movie. It's crazy

(18:18):
to me. Was there an Asian influence to it? Well, yeah,
it was a bunch of Asian car It was Asian
television shows that they and for something like if you
notice everything comes in five in uh in anime, right,
So like you know Voltron with five cats, uh you
know G four's five people. You know it goes it's

(18:40):
it's like that. And so when the television shows, you
have a bunch and it's always colorful too, like there's
the red one, there's a green one, there's a white one.
So there's a bunch of uh shows. Uh is it
from Japan? Yeah, I guess right, Japan. There are a
bunch of shows from Japan where there are different characters,
but for some reason, they always dress in green, yellow, red, blue,

(19:05):
and black. Right, And so now you have all of
these different shows out there that you could and and
and for some reason they always transform into a giant
robot and fight in the city. Also, right, that's the
show has an Asian influence, is what you're saying. It
was the Asian TV shows and SUPERCENTI. Yeah, Supercentai. It

(19:28):
was part of the Superhero Time programming block with Common Rider.
All right, Well I totally missed this. I just remember
them fighting really ridiculous looking monsters putties, good times, really good.
All right, So it's the Butterfly episode for those of
you who are following along talking about the butterfly effect

(19:50):
and how one moment can change everything. And uh, just
a little little moment of decor from the design department
when when Elliott first entered, here's the little girl's room
that she's helping. There's butterfly decorations all over the walls.
Did you notice that, Tom, I did not notice that
little subtle thing. You're looking for your Tabasco do Rag

(20:13):
because it's your lucky Tabasco surgical do rag. And we
see what happens if he doesn't have his Tabasco do Rag.
Rando will pop out of a patient's body and punch
Turk into ding Ding. So he needs to find that
do Rag. Do you think Todd wants to fuck Turk?
I think so, yes, yeah, I mean this is the
first episode where it really kind of came out that

(20:33):
if not fuck, if not fuck, he wants to at
least see his penis and put it on his face,
like there's there's his penis and just like rest on
it on his face. Yeah, just lie it down, Yeah,
just lie down, lie Turk's penis, drape it, drape it,
drape it, drape it. Drape his cock on your face.
Yeah no, no, not on not on Turk's face. He

(20:56):
wants Turk to drape his cock on his face. Okay,
face either way, they wants they want cock. He wants
cock drapage. Yes, I am. There's two moments early on
the show where I'm like, Todd wants to fuck Turk, Like,
I mean, we've already established that he's you know, bisexual

(21:17):
and open to lots of things. And he clearly is
reaching into your ass. And I don't know, there's just
lots of He doesn't want me to wear underwear. He's like,
I don't ever wear underwear. He talks about not you know,
he's very into, very into your your growing. So, like
I said, he wants to put it on his face.
Now what is it? Do? So are the surgical things

(21:38):
you wore did did they call those do rags? I
don't know. Okay, Now the classic like do rag, the
black one that you see like men wearing in the city.
What's the point of that? This city is so funny, dude,
But but you don't see them too many two rags
in South Orange, New Jersey. Is yeah, I could show

(22:02):
you some white boys with waves. Boy, I'm telling you
right now, it's all. It's all. I'm asking you what
the I'm asking you a not a jokey question of
the satiny one that you see like all the time.
It's to lay the hair flat, right, and it gets
so flat that it starts to get wavy, right, and
so you put a do rag on to maintain these

(22:24):
waves after you brush your hair. I see, Okay, and
and the surgical thing was obviously just to keep your
hair out. But I was wondered, if you if I
wondered if they really called them what they really called them,
the surgeons called them, if they called them to do
rags or we just called it duc Well, it could
be a drag. I mean, I mean it. All it
is is a rag that gets moist enough after you've
brushed your hair to make your hair do wavy things.

(22:45):
I see, all right, see ill learned something. You're all
learning something here on the podcast. So there's two pairs
of breasts early on in the show, right, there's a
large pair of female breasts that are out, and then
there's a pair of men's breasts, a man who has
sort of is heavy set enough to have breasts. This
is one of those moments where I feel like awkward

(23:05):
thinking of the casting where they're like, put a call
out for men with male breasts. I made it. The
day exists and they know they exist. Why would it
be awkward. It's just you know, the guy shows up
that morning and he's having coffee and he's so you
don't gotta feel sorry for nobody. He's getting paid money.
He was like, yo, you know. I'm I'm playing a

(23:25):
dude with the boobs. I'm gonna doude with the boobs
that he's sipping his coffee. I'm sharing. I'm just sharing
with you. Whenever there's these moments in anything, in any film,
even TV show, I have nothing to do with it it.
I'm always a little like, oh, man, Like I had
to come to work. He's like, yeah, hi, I'm the
large breasted male and they're like, okay, right here, sir.
And then when he got the check and got the Xbox,

(23:45):
he was like, best day. Hey. And if he liked women,
he got to spend the day next to a woman
with giant breasts and talk to her, so maybe that
was nice for him. And if he was an actor,
he was on scrubs. Yeah, that's true. By the way
you say regarding her breast, you say, look at them
all snugly and safe and whatnot. I thought that was

(24:08):
the funniest way for a man to to ogle. I
say both every time I get every time this word
comes to my brain, and I wonder if it's ogle
or ogl you at home? Is it agl or ogl? Oh?
Thank you? I was pretending like I heard them. Donald,

(24:28):
let me try it again you at home? Is it
agl or ogl? Oh? Thank you? You know it was
a big hit, But us saying people's names who don't
usually get their names said, oh really, A lot of
people were happy. They were like, you said that name.
Let's pick. Let's all pick a really random name that
doesn't often get said and say hi to that. Yeah.

(24:49):
Because I said talk, I was like tick and talk
and somebody's name was actually talk and they were like,
thank you for saying my name. Nobody ever says my name.
Are each gonna say hello to a random name that
isn't Renny? I'm gonna go first, Wait, don't make up,
don't make up some bullshit and be no, no, it's
gonna be your real name. It's just not that common
in name. Hey, Clarence, how are you? Thanks for listening? Donald, Apple,

(25:14):
Blue Armenia. I said one name, and you said hello
to Chris Martin Asidge. I don't know if Chris Martin's
child listens to the show, but I hope. Okay, Juel, Juel,
you're up, good morning. Stop let you well go go ahead, Joel,
Good morning, Amara, Amara, how are you welcome? Thanks for listening.

(25:38):
Daniel Shanika Yo Shanka. Daniel, go ahead, I will say
good morning to my friend. If he shakuda, if Jamila, Jamila, Okay,
jam Jachim. All right, everybody, welcome to the show. Thanks
for listening. The banjo Fantasy I people are I'll be

(26:00):
polarized on the banjo, but I love the banjo. I
think the banjo makes everything better. Dan, I mean, it's
hard not to like a banjo. In my personal opinion,
the banjo always makes me smile and it's great. I
love it. Every time I hear it in the score,
I love it. I just love banjo. Do you know
what I think? Do you know what I think of
when I hear banjo, Steve Martin? I think it's Steve Martin.

(26:23):
Every time I hear banjo, Steve Martin, Steve Martin, you
made banjo so happy for me. Yeah, thank you. You
may not know this if you're listening, but Steve Martin
is an excellent banjo player, and like that was his
act back in the day. He would come on stage
with a banjo. I loved Mumford and the Sons, and

(26:44):
then they got a lot of shit for like having
so much banjo, and then sudden they put out an
album without the banjo, and I missed the banjo. I
was like, where's the banjo? You know what I'm saying? Donald?
I do you never heard him? Joe and that? Are you?
Are you freaking kidding me? I've never heard of Mumfet
and Son. I don't know. You might be listening to

(27:06):
the Baby. I do like the Baby, but I do
like Mumfort and Song. You know what? Do you know what? Well?
You know? Do you know? Do you know? Speaking of
Mumfort and Sons, this guy sounds a little bit like
them to me. Uh and maybe it's just he only
has one really big He was an American idol Philip Phillips. No,
you're not alone. This is the place your home. Settle down,

(27:36):
it all all be clear. Don't pay attention to demons.
They feel you with feet turned down down and down down, down, down,
down down. That's that's my Are you never you don't?
This is on every way? Hold on? I'm sorry? Is

(27:58):
that American idol? Are you American? I'm American? Yes, yes
I am. I want because I don't want? That isn't?
That is probably the most American played song other than
That's everywhere other than the Starspangel Banner, Philip Phillips and
no you're not alone your home. That shit has played
all the time everywhere. I've never heard. Oh that we've

(28:26):
probably lost listeners. Come back, listeners, I can come back.
I can feel people going fuck this episode? Why because
I say, Philip Phillips, It's just too much and too loud.
I'm like, my ears hurt, and I love you. Your
ears don't hurt. I got this shit turned all the
way down, guys, so sorry, I'm speaking of ears hurting. Daniel,

(28:51):
how dare you stifle me and turn me down on
the headphone Listen, I'm listening to the show, and now
you're turning me down. You're turning me down and turning
me down, turning me down. People run with you in
their ears. It's too much. You're blowing people out. If anything,
it makes them run faster. Man, with somebody else, that's
that's that's that's instinctual. When you're when you hear somebody else,

(29:15):
your instinct is to pick up the pace and then
you wall shit, I better run faster. I'm helping people, man,
I'm helping people. Don't be mad at me. I'm helping you.
I'm helping you and you, guys, you are too loud sometimes,
and so Daniel is our safeguard against hurting people's ears.
And let's talk about my followers. Man, what the fuck

(29:36):
is guys? What's going on? I love all of you
that are following me now. I love you so much.
We did it. We did it. We did it. We
did it, We did it. What do we do? What
do we do? We? I gained since this podcast, I
gained over one hundred and something thousand. Wow. That's huge.

(29:57):
Thank you, thank you very much. And I'd hate to
sound like an asshole, but it's not enough. It's not enough.
I know I'm an asshole. I'll be the asshole. I'll
be the asshole. It's not the best look to grovel
for followers. They love you and people will follow you.
Everybody Donald, I want, I want, I want more, I
need more. All right, let's circle back and the words
of Sharpay from high school musical. I need, I need,

(30:21):
I need, I need, I need, I need, I want
fabu less, I want fastbut less too much? Did I
go too far? We got to talk about this show?
Oh okay, I've had my moments. Let's take a break.

(30:47):
We'll be right back after these fine words. Let's go
back to the show. So JD has made a homemade
dolls of Cox and JD. We learn he made action figures,
action figures. He's acting out JD and Cox together at home. Yes,

(31:14):
and Harold dream is coming true. Apparently, Kelso has said
to Turk quote, homeboy, get your kuettomobile off the road, Yes,
right before Yes. Yes. Also, Carla eats couch candy on
the low. Yeah, Bill does that. Bill was the kind

(31:36):
of guy that you'd pass the candy bar and he'd
be like, oh, and it would be open and he'd
eat it. He has no I mean nowadays, I'm sure
he's changed his ways, but I remember always being grossed
out about him. He would just he had no German
fears and would just grab although this is I don't know.
Would you eat a Snickers bar if you found in
the couch and with half open nowadays? No, No, But
I mean like in normal times, yeah, you might be

(32:00):
like someone in my family. Yeah. I mean, you know, uh,
you know when shit changes when you have kids and
you see them eating stuff and then you look at
it and you know that that could be a cold
or the flu or whatever it is that they caught
at school and you're looking at them eating and they're like,
I'm not going to eat anymore, but it's something you

(32:22):
want to eat. That's when you're playing roulette, you know
what I mean. That's when it's like, all right, here
we go. Yeah, because your kids are little germ factories, right, absolutely.
I have a question about the do rag Yeah, just
you know, so it's clear Turk obviously has superstitions and
holds lucky charms you know, as uh, you know, as

(32:43):
value and stuff. But do you guys have anything like that?
Do you guys have silly superstitions? I know, Zach, you
were talking about how when you were younger you had
OCD and that's kind of like a superstition. Do you
still have that going out? Well, I don't just like
O c D in a sense, I have little superstitions
that I just go, well, I think it's ridiculous, but

(33:04):
just to be saved, I'm not gonna walk under a
ladder stuff like that, or like like I was told
when I was a kid that putting a hat on
the bed is bad luck. Yeah, I still don't do that.
I saw that in a moment. I don't let any
hats on the bed. I was a drug store cowboy, right,
I don't open umbrellas inside the house. Wasn't that Kelly
Lynch drug store cowboy that said that cowboy? Is that right?

(33:26):
I don't know. I just know that I don't do it.
Do you have any superstitions? You don't do things you
don't do. Let me see if you broke a mirror,
would you think you seven years bad luck? I try
my well, I try my heart. It's not to break
marriage because of that. Yeah, I don't want to break
a mirror, Daniel, what about you? Yeah? You know, I

(33:48):
think subconsciously in the back of my head, I'm like, oh,
don't walk under that ladder. But I don't think in
my heart of hearts, I would believe it if I
walked under a ladder and was like fuck bad luck. No,
I don't really believe it. But like I there's a
part of me and like I said, and I think
it made circle back to my ocdnis where I'm just like, well,
just to be safe, I'm not gonna walk out on
the ladder. Yeah, don't you also feel like as a

(34:08):
theater kid though, like theater, kid, I thought that hell
of superstitions, like I'll leave the ghost slide eye. They
don't say Macbeth in the theater, yeah, I will always
say break a leg that I mean, you know, there's
no there's no, there's certainly no g l in the theater.
Never you don't see that. You don't say McBeth in
the theater. That's considered huge bad luck. So you say

(34:29):
the Scottish play, the scott the Scottish play. What if
you're performing Macbeth, then well then you can No, you
can if you you can say the words Macbeth as
they're used in the show, of course, But because Macbeth
is you know, about witches and sorcery, there's always just
been this longstanding theater tradition that you do not say Macbeth.

(34:51):
That's like the worst luck for your play, And so
instead you say the Scottish play. There he goes a
little theater tribute for you. Todd says to Elliott, I
got a pink doggie. But it's not Little calls his
cock a pink doggie. Now, when JD and Elliott enter

(35:13):
the janitor's closet, that's pretty funny. They find before we
get there, you're skipping something. You're skipping something that you
did really good and we should talk about this. But
what a great doctor Cox you did. Oh, thank you,
my big doctor Cox rant. That's very good. You even
had some of the faces in the awe. He really,
I must have worked on that, because that's not a monologue.

(35:35):
You just want to show up and do. I'm sure
that I rememberized that and worked on that. Yeah, we
didn't make it to Joseph's the night the night before
that one. No, No, I had to put the work
in for that because Johnny was so amazing and how
hard he'd work on those and how much memorization they took.
And he talked on the show with us about how
often they'd change and he'd be like, oh, you're killing me.

(35:55):
But he could do it. He was so good at it,
you know. So for me, I know that I wanted
to do a good job, especially doing it in his
face to him. So yeah, it was funny, right he really.
You know it's crazy is that there's no connection between
you two in your shot, like it's just a one
or it's just a one, it's just you in the frame.

(36:18):
You don't it's not an over or anything like that.
So there's a possibility that Johnny wasn't there when you
know he was there. I'm sure. I know he's always
Johnny was always there. That's that's one thing that's always shoot.
I remember when there would be like it would be
it could even be Johnny, we need to wrap you
so that we can make your turnaround tomorrow. But we

(36:41):
still have to finish this scene. We still have like
another half an hour twenty minutes on this scene. But
you can go home. We're gonna just shoot Zack's or
Donald's coverage. Johnny would stay the extra twenty minutes and
be like, just just let's just shoot the ship. I
don't think I've ever worked with one of these douchebag
people you hear about that don't stay for off camera coverage.
I've never I've never had that experience. Have you ever

(37:04):
in your life? No, I don't think I ever have,
for those of you not in the business. So when
the shot, then you know, he sho when're shooting close
ups of people, and let's say it's a scene between
me and Donald's, and you've already done my close up
and now it's time to shoot his close up and
I'm doing the quote off camera dialogue with Donald. I'm
not being filmed, but I'm there to act with him
and make sure and be, you know, do the scene

(37:26):
and make sure his performance is good, as he has
done for me. So there is there are tales of
people that are such divas that they don't even stay
for the other actor's coverage the famous Apparently Rod Steiger
said that Marlon Brando was not in the car for
his coverage of the famous moment of of I could
have been a contender real, yeah, like you can if

(37:49):
you if you look this stuff up, you can find
like famous moments in cinema history where the other actor
or some sort of was doing some sort of diva
behavior and not there. But Robs, we never did, guess
because we were all very supportive of each other. You
considered a douchebag. If you do that, I mean, I
guess you have to be I don't know, man, and
and and I don't know if this is the way,

(38:12):
but and correct me if I'm wrong. But in some ways,
I guess you have to be selfish as an actor
to reach that level of you know what I mean?
And if I'm wrong, wrong, But I've had the opportunity
to work with de Niro and Morgan Freeman, all these people.
They're they're doing what you dream of, and that is
they're not just doing their off camera dialogue. They're doing
it as intensely as they did their on camera so

(38:33):
that you, the actor, have something powerful to work off of.
The Other thing that's annoying is when the other actors
off camera and they're like tired and yawning and like
half paying attention. You're like, come on, man, be present
for me, be here, I need I need you. That
is that is the truth, man, because sometimes your cues
are taken off of how the other person is reacting tour,

(38:56):
you know, And that's tough. And yeah, I've experienced it
a couple of times. I'm not going to say any names,
but they know. No, I didn't want to expect you
to say any names, but I just want to. It
turns out, but you didn't have that experience at Scrubs.
No one would ever do that Scrubs. No, no, no, no,
no no no no no no. All right. So yeah,
so JD and Elliott entered the janitor's closet for the

(39:16):
first time, and it was very funny shot. We see
all the other janitors. They all have the same hairstyle
as Neil. There's a poster of JD on the wall
and it's labeled him now a little bit of a
of a of a continuity fuck up. In that, Randall
says he just got the job, but we got the job. Yeah,

(39:37):
he had already gotten it. Yeah, he was already working.
He was already working with the janitor on the rooftop
toilet episode. Yeah, this is out of order. I don't
think he had a uniform. Then he said he was
his colleague or something. I don't know. I don't remember
if he was in uniform on the roof Oh, I
don't know. Maybe maybe he had a different job before
and now yeah maybe yeah that's true. Maybe he was
a hospital employee. But anyway, he's back with his powerful,

(39:58):
tiny fists. And and Marty did this began. Marty's a
long long run on Scrubs that he did. Yeah, but
this is all the fact that tiny, tiny, powerful fists
got a callback. Yes, you know, I think I think
I think the writers were trying to make it a
thing like got it, like like what you're talking about Willis,
But I don't think it ever really stuck. I don't
think it's stuck. I don't think powerful tiny fists was

(40:21):
said more than more than twice. I don't know. Oh no,
don't okay, it's like what do you call it? It's
like saying what do you say in the mirror three
times and someone appears, don't don't say beetle juice. I
was thinking, we're gonna go to a break and then

(40:41):
we have a guest. We'll be right back, all right,
anywhere bad, all right, bring in the guests. It's exciting.
Christmas is three days away. When we're recording this, I
should say hello Jen later Jo Anderson. It up for Janderson.

(41:10):
I don't think his name is Jenderson. I think that's
his camera lot. Came speculating with my wife since yesterday
what Donald would call me if he was just a
whole name. I just called you by your at That's
all I did. John, John, John, Welcome to the program.

(41:31):
John is wearing a beautiful shirt from the podcast of
me riding Donald and yelling eagle. I love the color. John.
Where are you calling from, sir? I'm calling from Johnson City, Tennessee.
If anybody's a NASCAR fan who's listening. I'm about thirty
minutes away from Bristol Motor Speedway. If you're from her
with that, I like your accent. You sound like a

(41:51):
man from Tennessee. I've been told that before. I'm actually
from Virginia riginally, Okay, Yeah, what part of Virginia for
the southwestern part, which is about like it's about an
hour and a half from here. Are you near Alexandra, Alexandria? No, No,
that's that's up in the northern parts. I'm like, he's
gonna name cities, you know in Virginia. No, that's where

(42:13):
TC Williams is. I have a lot of friends from
the DNB area, though, So there's I grew up in
a school with a lot of Ethiopians, and for some reason,
they tend to congregate up there in the Maryland, DC
Northern Virginia area. There's a large population of Ethiopian folks
up there. So that's I'm pretty familiar with that area.
And that is that a quarantine beard? No, it's actually not.

(42:35):
I have grown a beard for about for about eight
years and then a couple of months ago. So I'm
shaking really bad. I got my super nervous because I'm
don't be nervous. Friends here were all friends here, so
are the listeners like Tamika and Fuquan and Muhammad. But
so I was trying to my barber kind of got
it off. I had. I've had a beard for about

(42:56):
two years, and back in August, he got it a
little off, and I was trying to fix it myself
and like took a big took a big chunk out
of it, and so I turned it back down to
about what you got there, Donald, and have been trying
to get it back to glorious state. But how do
you get it? So? How do you get it to? Yeah?
How do you get it so full? Like I got
a pull mine, Like I get out of the shower

(43:19):
and it's a mat pretty much. You know. Don't use
I use And you can go on Instagram and Facebook.
There's a there's a great champion and conditioner at there
called Polish Gentleman. Okay, well, I've gotten into their products
for the last two years. They they're really good. They
actually have some caffeine in it and stuff which apparently
helps stimulate beard grow good beard oil Zack. That's what

(43:40):
we should do, that's what we should do. We should
get into facial men's groom. If you get into I
should get into minute. We should we should get into mental.
Give you a facial? Fuck you, dude, No, do you
want a facial for me? What kind of what kind
of what kind of talking about you're gonna have? You're
gonna have? I'm gonna give you some brafts. I'm gonna

(44:02):
give you a quarter million brafs like a bunch of generations.
I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a quarter million braf
facial isn't a quarter only a quarter million? That's all
you got. I think I once googled. I got a
little account, dude, No, Joelle, would you mind googling that?
I think I want google? How many sperm are in
the typical mail ejaculation Juell. I hope that's okay. I

(44:25):
can put Danial on this assignment if you will. But
I think I once I think I once googled and
it was a quarter million in the typical mail ejaculation. No,
twenty million in each millimeter. There are normally one hundred
million sperm. If twenty million sperm millimeter, there's usually some
trouble with fertility. Yeah, so dude, h no, no, no, no, no,

(44:48):
no no no. I didn't measure. I didn't measure my ejaculation.
I'm I'm talking about in the average mail ejaculation. Can
you get that figure? Because you said millimeters, Joel, and
everyone probably has different. Sorry, Leader, I'm sorry, John, I'm
sorry as raunchy as it possible. No, no, we will

(45:14):
keep it you. We're just talking about we're talking we're
talking about science. What we're talking about the little cart
the little cartoon versions that you guys do at the show. Yeah,
have you with like, you know, a little science looking
at semen form count Well, I don't know, I don't know.

(45:37):
I still don't understand. Maybe you well figured out. But
I was told that in the average typical male ejaculation
there's a quarter million potential children. There is quite a bit,
so I'm gonna say it's more than that. But okay,
well maybe in your I do have nine kids, You're right,
yours are Yours is probably more packed in. They're like

(46:03):
shoulder to shoulder, They're like right, they're like a pickle jar.
It's like a pickle jar. It was it was funny
because somebody I know you're a football fan. Donald I
saw after the Bills won their division. The other day,
someone posted a picture of a sperm and it said,
Josh Allen, the last time the Bills wanted to But
you saw this coming last year. Man. When the Bill

(46:23):
started winning last year, everybody was like, this is impossible,
this can't be. But now look at here we are
one year later and the Bills are still winning. They're
a good football team. It's official. I think they'll be
happy to know that. I watched some of the Northwestern
game on Donald like I was, I got I got interested,
and I watched a solid fifteen minutes of it, and

(46:46):
where you they were winning. They were winning against Ohio State,
I believe it was. And then number eight on Ohio
State he was just really good and he just kept
doing shit and did Ohio State win the game. All
I know is if you're an umber eight on Ohio State,
I think you're gonna you're gonna do well in the
football career. People up with the college stuff that much.

(47:07):
I'm a balls fan and that's probably why that we
never the Tennessee balls never Windell, you're still working on
the assignment, Tim chang Grass. Okay, so do you have
a question for Zach Braff or Donald Fazon or Daniel
Goodman or Joel Monique. Well, another good tip. You need

(47:27):
to Boston Boston Supplements. It's the it's hair and nail
and skin growth. And I'll take I take those. It
will help it seriously helps will work for the hair?
Will it work for the hair? It's too late for
your Shut the fuck up. I don't think. I don't
think any shut stuff up. You. You know the only

(47:47):
thing it's gonna work on that receiving hairline your face
quarter million braths. Well, you need to hurry up and
get over here my way. All right, all right, what's
your question, sir? We have to focus. Well, actually, Zach,
I wanted to thank you because you guys had Josh

(48:09):
on the other day and I was listening to him
and he's one of the great musicians I discovered from
from listening to But I wanted to tell you something.
Do you remember this from season nine? Do you remember
wearing this William fitz Simmons shirt. Yes, I love William
fitz Simmons. So twelve years ago I was on moths
Space and you posted something from the Sparrow the Crow,

(48:31):
and that man's music had changed my life. I actually
have I have two. Oh my god, he's got tats
about William Fitzsimmons's beautiful and that you don't know William
fitz Simmons music and you're a Scrubs fan. I highly
recommend because it's in the style of Josh and actually

(48:52):
he and Josh toure together and he's incredibly talented. And
his first album, what was the album where there was
of like some electronic and you mean the two hundred
and fifty millions sperm cells released during sex? You mean
that album? I know I had a brain fart because
they really did mean to say two dteen million, not

(49:12):
twenty fifty thousand. I believe you. I really did. Okay,
so I was saying a quarter million, but I'm mean
a quarter billion. You're saying about your dude. You're a
musician guy. Anyway, William fitz Simmons, there was an album.
It's first. I think it was his first. It had
sort of some electronica, uh, sort of mixed in with
the acoustic guitar. It was so original. I really really
liked that stuff. It's until When Were Your Ghost? Yes,

(49:36):
there's a song called It's Not True. That's just amazing.
All right, sir, what's your question? So I've actually what
taught Bill ELL's I was Rene Brown. Everyone probably here
knows who Benet Brown is. She does the questions at
the end of her podcast. Yes, I sent a man
and they're well recommended, a few of them, but I'm

(49:56):
going to pick one scrubs question and in one of
Renee's questions, Okay, the most interesting out of Burne's was
a concert that you will never forget. A concert that
you will never forget. I'll go ferry for first. It
was my first concert. It was Rush at Madison Square
Garden and me and all my friends took the train in.

(50:20):
We were like, I don't know, fourteen years old, and
we took the train into Madison Square Garden and we
were drinking can can be or out of out of
bags and I proceeded to get way too drunk, way
too drunk, like fourteen year old kid drunk in the city.
And I was like swinging, and I remember the concert

(50:41):
started and I was like, oh no, like I've had
too much. And instead of I knew, I knew I
wasn't gonna I knew I was either gonna be sick
or something bad was gonna happen. So I just stood
up and left, and I got back on the train
and went home. I heard like three I heard like
three songs of Rush, and my friends were all like,

(51:03):
where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where do you go?
And little did they know I had. I took the
train home because I was too drunk, and I was
worried that I was gonna compute my very first concert.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Donald will about you a
concert you'll never forget. Okay Yo the Fuji's before they
blew the fuck up the food I got a chance

(51:23):
to see them at NYU right around the time when
uh that one album dropped, right when Laura I had.
I knew Lauren because we did a movie together when
we were younger, and she was telling me about this
band and they had just dropped Mona, Lisa, can I
get a date on Friday? And if you're busy, I
wouldn't mind take inks at her day? Ay ay ay

(51:44):
round up the posse. Foodie's coming around the way right,
And so it was at NYU, and I remember they
had everybody outside and it was some really tiny dude
at the door and he was like, nobody else is
coming in. We're at capacity, and they will a bunch
of us outside. And this is the first concert I
ever did this, But we bum rushed a concert. I

(52:08):
had never done that in my life. They threw this
little kid out the way, and then we rushed into
the concert and we got to see Fuji's and groove
theory banging. Okay, all right, John, what's your next question? Well, Dan, Dan,

(52:32):
and they will want to answer that too. Okay, Dan,
I can answer in seven seconds, Yeah, Joe, well you
go first. I also haven't answered ready. Basse Nectar Halloween
twenty twelve. I want to say my second time hippie flipping,
which is the combination of drugs I won't reveal here
because children listen. It was loud, it was Basse Throbby,

(52:59):
We did some why things and a taxi are It
was like, this were the most incredible nights of my
entire life. Yeah, okay, wow, Wow, what an incredible answer.
That's good. All right, Danel, what's your answer real quick?
Recently I went to a concert with my whole family.
It was my mom, dad, and sister. It's so rare

(53:19):
that we share all the same music. Taste for one
particular thing, but it was a postal service with bats
and Big Frieda opening at the Greek Theater and just
having like going to a show with my parents and
having them see Big FRIEDA, who is like a New
Orleans bounce artist. She's amazing. I highly recommend you all
listen to Big Frieda if you haven't. But having Big
Free to open for Postal Service, a band that my

(53:40):
whole family likes, and then Big FREEDA, who's someone that
I really like but my family is not necessarily aware of,
and just being like, so, guys, this is New Orleans
bounce music and there's gonna be a lot of booty
shaking and you're just gonna have to be ready for that.
And then seeing my my very old father just being
like this is this is interesting? It is cool. And

(54:05):
concerts with your parents. I I, you know, I wouldn't
my dad passed away, but I definitely would be. I
don't think we would agree on the same music unless
it was, you know, musical theater, which we both love.
But like, they know, it's cool that you can go
to a show with your dad. It was very it
was very lucky that we all shared the music taste
for this one group. It was their final tour. It
was like, everybody's old enough to go to a concert,
let's make it this one. And it was really an

(54:27):
amazing time. All right, John H Next question, Uh so
this this would be my my Scrows question. So you
know I've always treated Scrubs like the camera and the
music because I have all the seasons on DVD. I
don't I don't fool with because screw the music up
too much. And you're smart character, and so you know,

(54:47):
there's so many great musical montages or I mean the
finale that season a finale is you know one of
my favorites doctor Consons and those three patients Laverne with
Bretton and another great phenomenal artist that you do looking
to you on the show. Do you guys have a
favorite musical montage from the show? I don't. I don't
believe if I's ever asked this, I haven't heard it,
and I've listened to the entire podcast. That is a

(55:10):
very good question. I my brain first, I guess it's
not technically a musical montage because it's a musical number,
but my brain first went to that in the in
the musical episode that that that song where we're sort
of spoofing lame Is. It's going to be okay, No,
that's a that's the beginning. No no, no, no, no,

(55:31):
you're but that's that's five hundred and twenty five thousand,
that's what that's a bite of. It's going to be. Okay,
that's what's going to happen, happen everything. Okay, we're right
here beside you, right here, we will stay. I don't know.
There's this moment that sort of a lame Is moment
we're all marching. Yes, I like that. I mean, I

(55:53):
think it's hard to top the musical, but it doesn't
really count as a musical montage. I don't know, Donald's
you have an answer for a Scrubs musical montage. Yeah,
you know, it's not necessarily the music that did it
for me. It's how it's how the voice over acts
with the music. So one of my favorite ones, and

(56:18):
I don't know exactly which one it is, and I
think you made it up, but it's the one where
Elizabeth Bogis is on the show and it's the first
time you guys have a date. And I don't know
what song is playing. But there's two of them. Actually,
that's one of them are picnic and you're like, unless
you like chicken salad, Yeah, that's the one I stole

(56:40):
for Garden State. That's right. But but that's then occurs
with this time, right. But that song and your monologue
on that song work just like your that song and
just like your monologue and the song when Turk finally
asks Carla to marry him and she says, yeah, someday

(57:01):
somebody's gonna ask you. Uh, that point is found that
it's the way the monologue, the way the end monologue
uh is merged with the song is what makes it special.
It's not just the song. It sounds like you're turning
this into a compliment, I am, it's it's also your

(57:22):
voice and how you ride the beat of the song
or these are very important things. You know, when you're
in the flow and you're riding the wave with the song,
it makes the monologue even more poignant and more. You know,
my dulcet tones are enjoyable to the ear. My dulcet
tones that you're speaking of, Donald Is are probably the
reason that I was cast as Chicken Little. The intonations

(57:45):
I used to wrap up the show is probably the
reason I was hired to be Chicken Little. I do
you think so? Can you just give me an example
of a the sky's falling real quick, the sky is falling.
Are you go everybody? Yeah? I can, I can see
I can yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. People don't know
I'm Chicken Little. Their minds are blown when they find

(58:06):
out a lot of people didn't see Chicken Little, zack
a lot of people. It hurts quite a few people
saw Chicken a Little. Thank you. Yeah, well, he's right there.
Not enough people saw it to get a sequel. But
it did do. It did do all right. But he's right.
There's not a lot of Chicken Little love out there.
There isn't a lot of Chicken Little. My kids saw

(58:26):
Chicken Little and they loved it. I know. But when
I go to the parks, you can't find Chicken a
Little gear. I always look. There's no Chicken Little ride.
There's no Chicken Little ride at Disneyland. Joel, do you
like Chicken Little? You're at Disney fan She's never still.
We watched it a lot in Spanish class. Of course,

(58:49):
she's I didn't get the one that heard your voice
a lot. But they heard the Spanish version of Chicken
a Little, but it wasn't your voice. Hold on, hold on,
hold lot of second, I've only seen the Spanish version
of Chicken a Little. Well, that's not me, Joel. Sorry,

(59:09):
so fun though here I am. I'm so happy that
Joel has at least seen Chicken a Little a bunch
of times. And she's like, but I've only seen the
Spanish that's really funny. Oh my god. All right, it's
time for Tennessee's favorite segment. Everybody, Donald, it's time to
fix your life. John, let us, let us help you,

(59:35):
Let us help you. We're here, we're free therapists. We're
batting a thousand on helping people and saving their lives.
Were three therapists and Donald, that's what he meant to say. Good,
So yeah, I was. Actually I have not written in
one hundred and sixty times like the wind dude did,
but I've sent quite a few emails and U and
one of them I tied Old Kanzack's mom helped fix

(59:57):
my life. And it's because I'm also I'm a foster
care therapist working on my licenser, and so I work
with teenagers, think kids that are eighteen here in foster care,
which if I can just plug foster care right now,
like numbers are down across the country for foster parents
and foster home. So if you're listening and you want
to do something good, and you're thinking about having kids

(01:00:19):
or wanting kids, please look into becoming a foster parent,
because a foster cares across the country's hurting right now
because of COVID. So so I was wondering if you've
ever heard your mom say anything about like working with
teenage clients who are very I don't like the word
resistant as a therapist and a clinician, It's just that
they're very If you think about it in terms of

(01:00:40):
Burnet Brown's work, they are just armored up and are
not willing to be vulnerable if you do not want
to be Brown. And I can understand why I've spent
a couple of nights in a foster home growing up
and having a bad childhood. You don't want to talk
to anybody. You don't want to share that trauma and
get into it. So I just wonder, zac if you've
ever heard your mom talk about clients she's had as
a child's ecologists and how she maybe works with kids

(01:01:02):
that are a little more difficult to get to open
up and get them sharing and talking about their I
don't know. I can tell you they do a lot
of play therapy. And I used to do play therapy
when I was in counseling as a child. So I
think the idea is that you, you know, get the
child involved with a game of some sort or toys
so that they're not focused on the obvious, and that

(01:01:25):
you can then you know, they would bring the children
into a room filled with toys, whether it's a dollhouse
or cars, you name it. It's all got all the
any toy a kid would like, you know, within reason,
and not video games obviously. And then and then they
see what the child gravitates towards, and then try and
play with the child and get the child talking about
what's going on in their lives using the toys. So

(01:01:49):
the child may not realize that they're opening up and
and and and some of their layers are coming off
because they feel they're just talking to the therapist about
the dolls in the kitchen of a doll house. And
and and then my mom, a skilled child psychologist, would
then say, okay, well you know, they just kind of
let the child steer where the conversations going and and okay, oh,

(01:02:12):
who do you want me to be? I want you
to be the dad? And then okay, I'm going to
be the dad. What does the dad say when he
comes home? You know, I'm just making sit up. But
but my I think I know that my my, both
my mother and my stepfather used a lot of play
therapy with children because that was a good way to
sort of get to know what was going on behind
their armor, as you say, without them, you know, essentially

(01:02:35):
knowing what was happening, they're just opening up because in
their minds they're just playing. We have a certified play
therapist at our agency, and she's phenomenal. And then of
course I've been working from home for ten months and
so that's obviously that makes things like play therapy and
the former therapy I'm really interested in. And the training
I was that's called m d R. So they're wanting

(01:02:58):
trauma treatment. Tell everyone what that is and layman's terms.
Because this has come up a lot, and I'm glad
you brought it up, by the way, because this has
come up a lot in my life lately. Em Dr
and I know multiple people who've had very traumatic things
happen in their lives and this has helped them. So John,
just you know there's that thing on Reddit like explain it,

(01:03:20):
Like I'm five, Can you explain to the listeners, like
in the simplest terms what EMDR is. Yeah, Well, so
EMDR sands for I movement, desensitization and reprocessing. So basically
what and if the producer are listening. The creator of
this theory who she developed it a few years after
I was born on thirty three, so this is late eighties.

(01:03:41):
I think she created. Francine Shapiro Getting Past Her Pass
is a great book, Getting Past your Past pastor past
take control of your life with self help techniques from
em DR therapy. Yeah, that's really good. I want to
write that down myself. But but but just explain to
people because it's a little bit it's a little bit
wacky with the first time you hear it. But I

(01:04:01):
can tell you I know people that it has helped,
So just explain to me what it is. So what
do you MDR is that they use several techniques and
what you'll do is once the client is ready, So
we have what's called resourcing techniques first. So what resourcing
does is basically helped keep the client grounded in the
present while having one foot in the past enough to

(01:04:21):
actually talk about the trauma. And so really what AMDR
is all about is using eye movements or bilateral stimulation.
You can you can do the tapping like this, or
you can tap on your on your knees. Usually though,
it's you have the client follow you for a set
of odd movements back and forth like this, and the
science is not exactly sure what is going on neurologically

(01:04:43):
in the brain that causes this effect. There's there's a
couple of different schools as well, but basically what that
helps it She came up with this idea based off
Rimsley because our odds move in our sleep, right, and
that the odd movement does something in our brains neurologically
to help us process unprocessed memories that are causing us grief, pain, despair, whatever.

(01:05:07):
And so it's actually, I mean it's it's approved by
World Health Organization and sam Shaw and who is the
other big big thing it's been it's been going to
be the most one of the most effective treatments for
PTSD and tromp. It sounds like hypnosis. It's actually the
lady that I did this week long intensive training with
back in November. She was a certified hip hypnosis too.

(01:05:31):
She did n DBT therapy and hypnosis, but she's a
certified the m DR therapist as well. It is kind
of it makes you think there is like, you know,
there's some well it's that classic thing we always see
with with the with the with the stop Watch coming
back and forth. But but John just sort of even
the sound with the from uh get get out. Oh

(01:05:52):
oh yeah, the same thing I was gonna say. So,
just so if you're clear what John's talking about is
that you John and Mike understand it right that you are.
Let's say that let's say that the therapist is using
the back and forth technique. Your eyes are going left
and right, left and right as you recount a traumatic event,
and and over time that softens your brain's reaction to

(01:06:14):
the to the trauma. Am I am? I correct? I
think that's a pretty good way to put it. Basically,
you know, you can target any disturbance really, so there's
actually like different forms of EMDR that you can work on.
One like, okay, somebody said something that really offended me
or hurt my feelings this week, you can you can
do this and work on it. And basically it's kind
of like a free flowing I almost kind of like

(01:06:35):
to think of it as like a stream of consciousness
thing whatever comes to mind, you don't you just like
whatever comes up in your mind and your feelings and
what your emotions are going through as you're doing the ball,
add withal simulation with the odd movements or the or
the tapping, whichever one your your therapist is working with,
and then you know you'll do that. You know it's
ten or fifteen sets of it, and then notice what
the therapist will ask you what are your feeling? What

(01:06:56):
are you thinking? And then what there's a gage. There's
a scale in MDR, so if you're disturbed, if your
level I can't remember exactly what it was because I'm
still very much new to this and learn it, but
the therapist will ask on a scale one to ten,
how to disturbed? Are you right? And let's say you
start out with a eight. Do several sets of the
balladdal sipulations and they are movements or the tapping, and

(01:07:17):
the goal is to lessen the disturbance, right, and so
to get you down to like a two or three,
maybe even a four where it's okay. And then like
on the broad on the very broad form of MDR,
which you know can take multiple sessions, it is to
help you process an unprocessed memory that it could be
very traumatic, and then help you heal from that memory.
I actually had a former clergy person in mine in

(01:07:40):
my life who I think suffered some kind of immense
abuse in childhood. So maybe he did an MDR and
found like that it was the most incredible therapy he's
ever done. And that Yeah, I've heard a lot of
positive feedback. So if you're if you're listening and you
and you have some PTSD or some trauma that's really
holding you back, or some thing really hurtful that you

(01:08:03):
can't seem to let go of, look into this and
maybe you can find a therapist in your area. It's
called EMDR and the book is called Getting Past Your Past.
You also mentioned Bernie Brown, who I just want to
touch on. There's a book she wrote called Daring Greatly
that I got a lot out of. Oh, for anyone
going through a hard time right now, if you actually
got to see Mom and Bernie on the Breathing of

(01:08:24):
Wilderness tour. I was like right in front of the stage,
like she looked at me a couple of times, and
I was like, I'm fam blowing as hard as I
am with you guys today when I'm I recommend any
and all of her books. I went through it a
couple of years ago, and her her work on shame
has been foundationally this life changing for me if and
she's she's a little more accessible than some of the

(01:08:46):
MDR stuff too. So Bernie Brown became famous initially because
she had a TED talk about shame and it went
so viral. I think it's the most watched TED talk
if not one of you can see it on YouTube
if you want. That'll take you twenty minutes if you
if you don't have time for anything else, watch watch
Brene Brown's first TED talk on YouTube. It's twenty minutes long.

(01:09:08):
It's really powerful too. You can actually find em DR
therapist if you don't mind me to plug this. It's
called E M d R International Association. And then the
website is www dot E M d R i A
dot org. So it's IMDREA dot org. So E M
D r i a dot org and you can go
on so like, find a therapist in your area and

(01:09:31):
check it out if it doesn't work for you, doesn't
work and you know it, but it's really interesting and
and you know you might as you're listening to this
and if you if you're interested, you read up on it,
you might think it sounds a little wacky. But I'm
telling you be open to wacky things because they sometimes work.
I'm very open to all sorts of wacky New Age things.
And sometimes they're placebos, and sometimes they change people's lives.

(01:09:52):
And there's obviously enough data on this embr to have
it showing a difference in people's lives, so it's not
it's not voodoo very much. It's been research. Yeah, yeah,
it's very very well well, John, I think this is
the first time you've fixed everybody else's lives. You seem
like a very nice person. If I if I lived
in your area, I would want to be your friend.

(01:10:14):
I would I would. I think I would hang up
from this and be like, John, do you want to
get coffee sometime and just chat. I just feel like
you seem like a very good man. The Starbucks right
around the corner and you and I could. I've been
I've been begging William pitt Simmons to come to Johnson
City for years because just like right across the state
from me, and trying to get him come. So you

(01:10:35):
and I get hit him up and say, hey, dude's there.
Oh my god, sitting with you and William it seems
like a dream. But no, but thank you for coming on.
You're thank you for being a great fan of the show,
and and thank you for making a difference in your life.
You know, I Donald and I hope that we make
a tiny difference by making people giggle during this wacky time.
But you're actually doing something quite noble and working with

(01:10:57):
foster children and uh and we we we on behalf
of society. We thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks,
I'll take care of be happy you're up for john
This is like in the supermarket aisle when you say
hi to someone and then you see them in every
aisle after that, there's always that moment where you're like,

(01:11:20):
oh you again, Oh got us, we got us start
meeting like and the like, have like finally, just don't
go down the aisle when you see and you have
like ten aisles of cringe. Well, I always feel that
when we say goodbye of the guests and there's like
four seconds that we're all just sitting there winning from
it to leave. Wow, what an amazing man. Yeah, that's
really cool, dude, good guest, Joel, thank you. So let's

(01:11:42):
go over because we're running along. Let's go over these
uh that when it switches to the multiverts, when we
go to when the butterfly effect takes effects. Let's start
from the top. Butterfly lands on the boop on the
first act, Butterfly lands on the man boop in the
second act. Uh. First act Banjo playing by j DS,
second act ban Joe, Duo, Cox and Kelso. First act

(01:12:07):
Jad's a lefty. Second act JD's a righty. That was
pretty cool. I thought that was pretty awesome. I think
he's just making sit up because he missed the pen
he's I don't think he's a lefty. I you know,
he's not a lefty. I think it's a multiverse episode.
I think this is a different multiverse. I think this
is I don't think this is the Scrubs universe that
we know it. I think it's a different universe. And
at the end and at the end when the butterfly

(01:12:28):
lands again, we're going to go to another Scrubs universe
where something happened. Anyway. Okay, so Turk doesn't stand up
for calling the second act, but he does in the
first act, and it all hinges on JD catching the elevator.
If he would have caught the elevator in the first act,
maybe none of this would have happened. The butterfly effect

(01:12:50):
happens down in the in the in the in the
in the reception area. But the real, the real pivotal
moment is him making it too the elevator. Why and
because that's where he learns about what what could? That's
where he gets the idea for the patient. And Mickhead

(01:13:10):
has another line. Mickhead has another line, and he does
it very well. Yeah you're right, you are funny, j D.
Yeah you're right, j D, you are funny. So anyway,
this is what this is where it kind of caught
me off guard. So in the first act, there's this
little girl who's looking for her stuffed animal. But then

(01:13:32):
this guy who ate street sushi is the person that dies.
In the second act, the little girl's still there and
the guy who eats street sushi is still there, and
right before the guy goes into surgery, they introduced the
little girl again, and so you think, all right, so

(01:13:53):
here it is, this is where the turn happens, here's
the here's the here's where you know, here's where Scrubs
kicks you in the ass. The guy's not gonna die.
The little girl's gonna die this time. Yeah. And then
we go into the r and the guy dies again,
and part of you is like, oh, thank god they
didn't kill the little girl. But the other part of

(01:14:15):
you was like, oh, it's the same conclusion no matter what,
you know. Sometimes it's just that person's time to go,
you know. But that was a great mislead because I
was I was already getting ready. I was working myself
up for Oh no, they're gonna lose the little girl.
The little girl's not gonna well. I think kudos to
the writers because that seemed the obvious thing to do,

(01:14:36):
and then they subverted expectations by going, you know, Scrubs
and Bill and the writers were good at that. They
would they would tee up what you thought your brain
would figure would be the ultimate conclusion, and then they
subvert it and go the other way right, and they
go the exact way that you thought, like, because in
the beginning of it, I was like, Okay, so everything's different,

(01:14:56):
but at the end it's gonna be the same. I
know it, I know it, I know And then they
throwed a little girl at you, and that was freaking it.
I was like, wait what, Oh no, no, no, no, no,
it's gonna be the girl. Don't you think when you're
watching a movie and every plot point you're like, right
before it happens, you're like, oh, they're gonna do X
y Z, And then it happens, you're like, oh, we
were watching this movie. That is the most ridiculous movie.

(01:15:19):
The Family Stone. I love the Family. I needed you.
Obviously we did too. You obviously are not alone, Joel,
because it was trending amongst Christmas movies on on iTunes.
But what a ridiculous movie that is. Have you seen it? Yeah,

(01:15:40):
of course I've seen it. These two brothers decide there
he's gonna switch partners. It's so stupid and like he
has the meat cute with Claire. Days she falls off
the bus and it's like oh, and it's like and
then the ring gets stuck on her finger. I mean,
oh my god, it's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. Cast
dynamite cast. I do have to say the cast was great,

(01:16:02):
and I do to say that Sarah Jessica Parker was
really funny, really did a funny job. All Right, I
see my dog digging up the garden. So we're gonna
wrap it up. I just wanted to end with saying
the Lost and Found box was labeled free stuff, which
I thought was very funny. I also think I also
think that this episode is one of those episodes that
stands alone as you could catch it at any time,

(01:16:25):
and this was one of my favorite episodes, and it's
because it's infinite at the end, it's sort of like,
what's the one the movie with Leo Inception? Yeah, you
know JD. It feels like JD's caught in a groundhog
Day loop. Yeah, it could keep going. It could keep
going and going and going and going and over over
and over again. And this is the only episode ever

(01:16:46):
in Scrub's history where you have that. Yeah. Well, I
think it's a really good one and it's very clever.
And I guess we should say Marry Christmas to everybody. Right, Well,
I love you guys, and be merry Christmas. And you
guys have great presents, and when they arrive and you
open them, I don't want you to have the thought

(01:17:06):
