Speaker 1 (00:00):
One last time. I need to be the one who
takes you home one more time. I promise, Ah, do that,
I'll let you go. What is that? It's beautiful, Ariana

(00:21):
Grande baby? Is that a new song? Old song? Man?
It reminds me of this episode, this episode. Now listen, everybody.
I've said this episode's great because I directed it. Forget, dude,
This shit's good, dude, forget. This is my favorite episode
so far. I agree, I agree. I'm not just saying that.

(00:42):
I'm not just saying that because I directed direction. Aside,
the script for this episode is fucking hilarious. You are
fucking hilarious. You have said that. I'll accept that. You'll
have like five laugh out loud moments. Yeah, I'll take it.
I'll take it. I'll take it, dude. This episode, and
first of all, it's so funny. Listen, Thank you listeners.

(01:02):
You have to understand that Bill Lawrence is so competitive
that he gave me this episode. If you watch this episode,
it is far and away more epic than any other episode.
It look, there's a car crash. All the characters except Laverne,
which was weird. Everybody's in the freaking opening montage everybody's

(01:23):
a big ass party that now I'm literally on fire.
I mean, I dude, you have to understand, I got
this script that I was saw saying to show. I'm
just saying, I'm glad you're saying what you're saying, because
I was like, I'm watching this and I'm going people
are gonna clown on me. But I think this might
be the best fucking one of them. No, it is, dude,
send far. I think it's it's the funniest, most epic

(01:46):
episode so far, so far as the best episode so
far of Scrubs. So that's weird, so far as the
best episode so far of Scrubs. It's pretty fucking good, dude, dude,
it's so freaking good. And I love all the directors
that before, and I love all the people who've written before,
and all of the show has had great meaning. This
episode feels like a feature film. Yes, absolutely, And I

(02:10):
wonder if that has something to do with the director.
Let's look up and see who it was scrolling, Joe.
Can you look that up up? Can you look up
who directed this one? Because it's it feels different, it
feels like, you know, how wand division you were saying
doesn't feel like a TV show, feel yet. I haven't
watched yet. No, I haven't either, but I'm saying nobody's

(02:30):
watched it. I love it. We're gonna watch tonight, dude,
I listen, listen. You know how everyone is saying you
were saying that one division doesn't feel like a TV show,
it feels like a feature. Yes, well, I feel that
about this episode of Scrubs. It feels like Scrubs the feature. Absolutely,
I agree with you. It is so fucking funny. I
have like so many pages of notes. I don't know

(02:50):
how we're gonna get through all this in the amount.
I'm glad you wrote a lot of notes because I
was working on the recap in my mind. Oh are
we gonna get a special rap as promised? We're gonna
start right now. I'm gonna rehearse him a couple of times.
I'm not recording shit, Daniel, You're gonna have to. I
don't say I was recording the whole time. It's also
echo everyone Donald forgot to press play on, you forgot

(03:12):
to hit to hit record time. Now they are they're great,
all right, So loo that's why. Because he was on
the zoom audio do you want to apologize to the
I apologize to everybody. I'm glad. I looked down to
make sure though, because you were so enthralled by the
direction of this episode. Fast episode, dude, it is, it
really is, all right, so look the recap. We gotta wait.

(03:34):
Do you want to do you want to count into
the show first? Yeah? Sure we could count on the show.
Can I do it? Because I directed the episode? Absolutely, man,
go for yours keep story about story so yeah around here? Yeah,

(04:05):
an m we have so much to talk about. All right,
all right, let me just rehearse this real quick and
then we could get into we have wants to talk.
What if the one that you rehearse is magical, then
we don't have recorded it? And then I got recorded
and we got it. All right, go for yours Donald,
all right, here we go. J D was like, cannot

(04:28):
freaky freak with Molly to Elliott, who was hard pressed,
but probably when I think of it, knew he had
no chance in hell, so she sent him on the quest.
Feel me watch he fails. This episode was directed Buzzy
Bizzle at the Garden State came out, so he was
starting to sizzle, and dollar Bill was like I don't
want the boy the fizzle. I'll let him direct pepe
us and there rehizzle, back lot, crazy shots, improvised, what

(04:50):
you got treat by a ka Yo room that's kind
of hot, top yotta chuck a lot, so's your face,
Doctor Cox and Molly Shannon Molly clock zip blind because
she's hot. All well received by the pop your list
because like prim zb was an optimist, I'm rocket like
Alaju want s's like a restaurant. You can just call
the faith. That's the recap, but it wouldn't be complete

(05:10):
without shouting now. DJ Daniel and Joe wil Monique. Yeah,
come three, dude. I feel like it's my birthday and
you gave me the best present you've ever given. Yo.
I hope that you can put this together. Oh, don't
you worry about a thing that was hard? What was
the metronome set to ninety five beats per minute? How

(05:36):
happy you made your beat maker? Don't you worry about
the thing dude? That was incredible? You are I mean,
I'm not just saying this because I love you. You're
a really good writer of of raps and rhymes. You're
a gentleman and a scholar. No, you you are a
really good director and writer of movies, dude, you know what.
You know what I say to everybody all the time.

(05:59):
And and because you like already a really good actor,
I think you're a better director than you are an actor.
And that's saying a lot, because you're a really good actor, dude,
you know what I mean. Than like, I'm excited for
you to be doing Cheaper by the Dozen and everything
like that. I'd liked. I like it when you direct
things too, like this episode. So far in the shows

(06:21):
that we've watched, this is the most Bill. I'm sorry.
I know you're gonna hate me for saying this. He's
not that's all an act. This is the best episode, man.
This is the best episode. It really is. And I'm
glad you agree because I got to say, you know,
when of we haven't ever done this exercise of sitting
down and watching them all in a row. And they're

(06:42):
all they all have great things about them, but there's
just something about this episode that kicked everything up a notch.
And I'm not and I can say that because it
isn't just the direction, although I am proud of the
way I directed it. In five days, which if you
are in production at all know is fucking insane when
you look in scope of this episode, how are you
how are you able to get all of the stuff

(07:04):
with Molly Shannon and freaking h Johnny and then still
get all of the stuff with me You have the
gram and then still get the cold opening, which and
then get the stunts and what about like fire right,
And by the way, that ambulance stuff is all I mean,
there's a few green screenshots in the ambulance, but for
the most part that's all practical, which means we are
literally pulling, towing around a giant ambulance and and setting

(07:27):
up cameras mounted on it doing an accident. We had
never done something this with this amount of scope and
scale to it in in all of scrubs. Now as
we go on, of course we have other ones. We
have the Musical, which was the most epic. We have
the Princess Bride one and stuff. But this, this so far,
was the biggest thing we ever took on, and it

(07:50):
didn't What was great is that it didn't feel out
of place, like when we get to the musical and
when we get to the the The Wizard of oz
One and everything like that. And then when we get
to the Fantasy one, the Princess Bride one and everything,
it gets a little fantasyish like this felt like Licensed

(08:12):
to Drive. This felt like you know, planes, trains and automobiles.
You know, if you merge the two of those movies together.
This was it. I was Corey Felm and you were
Corey Hame. Heather Graham was well, well, Heather Graham was
Heather Graham and License to Drive, Yeah, was Licensed to Drive.
I never saw it, dude, Yeah, dude, look I gotta

(08:36):
see it. But dude, I gotta tell you that I
couldn't believe it's twenty one minutes. I mean twenty one minutes.
It's a short film, it's tiny, but look how much
we accomplished in twenty one minutes. Dude, I can't believe
that you have never seen License to Drive. I'm just
a little put it on my list. We're looking for
new things to watch. Look, all right, Look, when I

(08:58):
was a kid, this movie meant everything to me. And
it starred Corey Hame, Corey Fellman, and a very very
very young Heather Grahm. Okay, this is like how the
world was introduced, Like you might have been introduced to
her through Boogie Nights. I was introduced through her. I

(09:20):
was introduced to her through License to Drive, right, License
to Drive. Do you think I'm so disappointed in you
right now? Dude, dude, I'm so disappointed in you right now.
I'm just I can't believe it. And that's what this movie,
that's what this freaking all right. So look, Corey Hay,
we gotta get into it. Corey Hame, give us, give
us the cliff notes. We have so much to talk

(09:41):
about with this episode. Okay, Corey Hame is a kid
in high school and it's him. He's trying to drive
for the weekend. He built up the courage one night
to ask out Heather Graham and she said yeah, and
so he's built up the courage to he did that,
and so he's got to get his life sense in
order to get the car from his dad. He fails

(10:03):
the test, sneaks out with the car and crashes it.
He goes to his best friend, Corey Feldman to help
him fix it, and they go on an adventure so
he can have this ultimate date with had the Graham.
That's kind of a cliff note. She kind of passes
out and all of that stuff like that, and all
hell breaks loose. But that's the cliff notes, dude. It's

(10:24):
the same exact shit, dude, and you can't find and
you couldn't see the connection in it. And you directed
an episode that was so similar to that movie License
to Drive where we all met Heather Graham. Oh wow,
I didn't know that. I wonder. I wonder if that
was in Bill or Mike Schwartz, who wrote this episode's
mind at all. Since it's like an homage, Let's ask

(10:44):
Bill and or Mike Schwartz Bill, Mike Schwartz's Bill ahead, Bill,
is this a homage to License to Drive? The awesome
Corey movie that star Heathergram Hey fellas, Um, I never
saw License to Drive. I think the only movie I

(11:07):
saw what the quarries in it was Lost Boys, and
I have to watch that a lot because Krista dated
one of the Lost Boys back when she was younger,
So that needs to be pointed out to me a lot.
But not m License to Drive, though. There's so many
movies that are kind of an odyssey of can I
get from point A to point B? See you guys,
anything with two Quarries is as a special special film

(11:31):
lost Boys. Yeah, I can't beat it. All right, let's
get into it. So the show opens with a fantasy,
which I couldn't remember that ever happening. Do you recall?
And since we've been watching, if a show ever opened
with a fantasy? No, I didn't, I know, I did not. Yeah,
was it a fantasy? Yeah, they're all all these seniors

(11:52):
are having a party like, oh right, oh right, and
I thought it was right. Yes, I didn't. I don't
know that we've ever done that. Yeah, I didn't. I
don't recall. And then so I just and then and
then so we walk in and then everyone's parting. They
and then they hide, and then I see two feet
and I pull back the covers and there's two old
men cuddling and one of them goes like, going back

(12:13):
to your bed, Jerry, and he goes, I love you.
That was funny. And this is the I guess, the
first time we hear sows your face. Yeah, I guess.
So I was gonna say, this is a monumental moment
because I've used this for you loved my whole life
since So's your Face was introduced, you have really, really
stuck to sows your face since this moment. It's the

(12:36):
best comeback ever I've seen you use it on people
that are bothering you on your Instagram you say, so's
your face? And or Twitter, so is your face? It's
it's the best. I'm rubber your glue, you know what
I mean. It makes the person really think about what
they're gonna say after you say that, once they realize, oh,
so my face is that too? Once they realize, then

(12:59):
then and then some then like some of them, I
think Sarah says something like that doesn't even make any sense.
So's your face? So's your face? Always makes sense? It
just made But that doesn't even make sense. So's your face?
That makes sense? Right? That scene with them all dancing,
one of them is like one of them is doing curls.
It was really funny, like cocoon style. Now Molly's does

(13:22):
a crab cloth like crab claw to try and get
Sarah mad at her. Right, But you know what made
me laugh harder than crab claw was the mentally disturbed
man who runs in yeah and says he says, they're here,
ignite the tractor beam and she totally deadpan goes, I

(13:43):
should go that's my two o'clock. Yeah, but he didn't
have a shirt on either. He didn't have a shirt on,
and then he strikes a pose. What did he do?
He was like, he like hits like a cat. That
guy was amazing, really all it was funny. There's an
example of how an actor can come in and have

(14:04):
one sentence and just fucking kill it. That guy was hilarious.
It's very funny. I laughed out loud a lot in
this episode, you know, And while so while watching this,
in my mind, I'm like, Yo, who the fuck directed this?
At this point, I'm like, this ship is fucking hilarious.
And then I'm like, oh, I know, I knew, but
in my mind it was like, this is crazy. Who

(14:25):
directed this? Oh that's right, my boy z b Yeah
he did, Yeah he did. All right. Now listen, there's
so much that fucking happens in this In this first
even the cold open is so much to happen. So
then you get then then before you get to tide. Okay.
One of the funniest line exchanges in the Scrubs history, Sarah,
you actually ranked the women of this hospital by appearance,

(14:46):
and I go, calm down, twelve and she goes, yes,
top twenty. Yeah, yeah, I wanted it was funny. It
was funny, dude. It was the fact that Molly Clock
wasn't number one. Also and Nurse Tisdale's number one that
had me rolling. Also. Yeah, and we haven't seen Nursed

(15:06):
Tisdale in a while. I think the only time we
saw Nurse Tisdale, we talked about her a lot when
she did that when she walked down the Phoebe Kates. Yeah,
she's apparently the hottest, although gift Shop Girl was also.
I mean, there's there's a lot of hot them. But anyway,
but Carl is not on the list because she's married. Yeah,
you're so funny by the way you put your foot
in your mouth with Carla in so many funny ways.

(15:28):
And it's the first time is when you go, oh, baby,
we only ranked the single women. You actually ranked the
women in's hospital by appearance. Calm down twelve, yes, stop twenty.
That's it's hilarious, all right. Then we go to the
party that we're throwing and Elliott has bought Molly up

(15:51):
going away pinana that's shaped like it's missing, but it's missing,
but it's missing, and then we flashed to Todd, who says,
who says, it's getting late. The big dog wants some candy.
He's trying to fuck the pinata. He's sitting next to
the pinata. Yeah, and he says that. Yes. Now when
he comes into the party, his face is covered with chocolate. Sorry,

(16:17):
I'm late now to believe he ate the shit out
of right. But are we supposed to believe like he
made out with it or he No, he ate that
ship's asshole. Oh. I didn't know if it was Lingus

(16:38):
or Ana Lingus, but I think they joke is because
he has chocolate around his mouth that it's like, well,
it was either an Lingus or Cunlingus. But the point
is is that he went down on the pan hardcore.
I think it's safe to say that he may be
the first person in television industry to go down on
a Panada. I don't know. I don't know, Juell Google,

(17:00):
that's that's that's saying a lot turn my key for that. Well,
I don't want to fuck up your Google searches, so
don't look for that. They're far gone at this point.
I like the fact that at the I like the
fact that at the party j D true to his word,
drinking and appletini. Yes, yep. By the way, so at

(17:24):
the bar party, do you know who that beautiful woman
is that I'm talking to before the fire event. No,
that's Amy Ferguson, who in Garden State was the beautiful
girl at the ecstasy party that I hook up with.
You remember that, yes, I do. Well, it's funny. I'm
looking at the um French poster of Garden State that

(17:45):
I have in my office and it's it's got more
Amy Ferguson on it than Natalie, which is funny because
you know, Natalie's stunning. Um, but I think because the
movie had this sort of sexual moment with Amy Ferguson
and she's literally on the on this collage poster like
four times, so that you're saying Natalie's on once, but

(18:07):
Amy Ferguson's on like four times. So you're saying the
French like sex. I'm saying, yes, the French like to
sell sexy women more than any They made up the kiss.
They made up that kiss, or they made up the
French kiss. I don't know if they really did make
up the French kiss, but many they figured something out though,
that was a that's a great invention. Whoever made up

(18:27):
that the French it has to be When that was over.
When that when I when Garden State came out, so
many men would come up to me like, hey man,
love the movie. By the way, who's that girl? And anyway,
she was a friend of mine and Amy Ferguson and
so I now it's funny because now that I was
able to cast because I was directing, I put a
couple of my friends in and um, and so Amy's

(18:49):
the girl I'm flirting with at the bar. Okay, now
this fire thing, I want you to know how hard
this was to shoot because I am literally on fire
and we did. We did one of these cowboy switches
that we've told you about, where so when I first
catch on fire because it dug in his fire shots,
that's literally me on fire. I had. I had the

(19:12):
whole fucking thing they put on you. They put on
this these layers and layers of anti flame returnant gel
and then like, um, I don't know, it's almost like
sweatsuit material, and then another layer is just for your back.
This is just from my back. Because they were like
will you do this? And I was like yeah, I'll
go for it. I'll do it. It was really scary.

(19:33):
The stuntmen were incredible. Your hair, dude, that's all I
was worried. I was like, I had I had the gel. Allah,
you have the gel all over all over your hair.
And so what happens is in the stunt I then
ran to the bathroom, if you recall, and then we
cut and what's all real on camera is for this.
For part two, the stunt man, incredible stunt man did

(19:56):
a full burn. That is to say, every single thing
on his body that's all real, that's not augmented at all.
When you watch him running on fire, you remember this Donald,
And then I was hiding down for part two. I
was hiding below, all made up to look like I'm burnt.
And then he comes in, running through, falls down and
then I pop and then Donald sprays um with the

(20:16):
fire extinguisher and then I pop up burnt and I'm
talking about her because she was talking about her nephew
or something. I'm like, yeah, that's a crazy age and
I sit my apple teeny um. So it was crazy
and it's just funny. It's just all I could think
of when I was watching. It was This is the
ultimate example of Bill Lawrence competitiveness. He's like, no, no, no,

(20:39):
it'll be great, it'd be great. Um, you're gonna direct,
so in one of the early scenes, you're gonna be
on fully on fire, right, Well, just that, and it's
it's you. You laugh because it's like you're set on fire.
But if you really think about what it takes to
have to do that for a scene and how much
time takes the safety protocol. Also, there were so many

(21:03):
people in the area, you know, I remember if I
remember the stuntman band like Donald, you gotta put me out, dude,
like giving me the dude, you have to spread because
you But I think someone else was another stuntman was
off camera helping you, right, or it wasn't just all you.
I'm not exactly I'm not exactly sure. I do remember

(21:24):
the look in my eye like you got this right
type shit? You know what I mean. I mean, it's
I'd never I'd never seen a stuntman do something like
that in person. Obviously we've all seen it in the movies.
It was fucking insane that he did that, that someone
would do that. I think the gel and the covering
buys you like, I don't know what the time is,

(21:45):
like thirty seconds. I mean, I'm sure people, but he
didn't do it. He didn't do it just once. He
did it a couple of times. He was the one.
He did it one time with us with the wide shot,
and then he did it and he did it again,
like there were several cameras. But I remember watching him
do it also, and then I remember stepping in and
doing the scary spray also, Yeah, dude, it was. But

(22:07):
but it's so fucking funny. I mean, cut into the
thing with the cowboy switch and me just popping up.
So yeah, seven, that's a crazy age with the burn
mark sole over my face, right, I really love that.
I'm proud of how great that that still looks this
this many years later. It looks fucking flawless. Amazing, amazing.

(22:28):
Um um. What about the fact that you don't know
that your wife is Dominican and and this is going
to be a recurring theme when we get to the musical.
Obviously he thinks she's Puerto Rican so much. When we
get to the musical for the last time, Turk, I'm Dominican.
If you know Puerto Rican and Dominicans that's an issue too.
You know, in New York City, I'm not The Dominicans

(22:51):
are like, I'm not Puerto Rican, I'm Dominican, And Puerto
Ricans are like, I'm not Dominican, I'm Puerto Rican. That's
real talk. You blame it on me, which is funny.
You go, yeah, I guess, but well, guess what you
were wrong. Guess what helps you were wrong about? Carlos
Definican like you were you were relying on me to
know what your wife is. Yeah, like like one night

(23:13):
we were hanging out and and and I was like,
I w what's my what's my wife? Like we were
they had to be baked, they couldn't be baked. But
it's like, what's my wife? What's my wife's nationality? What
is where is she from? You're like, dude, trust me,
she's Puerto Rican. She's Puerto Rican, Turk, I know this.
You're sure about this? Yes, I trust me, trust me,

(23:35):
she's Puerto Rican. You rely on them? Well you know
what you were wrong about? Oh my god? All right,
so then God bless Molly's everywhere. Someone paid the license
sixteen candles, thank you? Right now? That scene in sixteen
Candles um I remember my sister. My sister loved them.

(23:57):
We both love them. My sister, like so many um
women and gay men loved Jake Ryan from sixteen Candles.
Whatever happened to Jake Ryan man? You know, I think
he got out of the business because he stopped working.
But he I mean, so many women were like, yeah,

(24:18):
that's accurate, Jake Ryan, that that's what I want. He
was like the typical looking New England dude. Yo. Like
that was like he was like an Abercromian Fitch model,
right Like, if we're not there, I think I think
he could have played Captain him. He would have been
Captain America back then. Chris Evans is like the Jake

(24:40):
Ryan now, you know what I mean? Like they got
that similar look, the dark hair, the blue eyes. Okay,
here's a little something from from jewel Um. Michael Chauffling
is his name. His final acting credit was in the
nineteen ninety one film Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. He's
since retired from acting and resig in Pennsylvania with his wife.

(25:01):
Not much is known about his life now, but he
does own a woodworking shop. He I just feel like
every girl I knew had a crush on that guy. Yeah.
So anyway, there he is kissing Molly Ringwold at the
end of the movie, and I say, God bless Molly,
and God bless Molly's everywhere. Now. It's just it's been
interesting that we have an extra Molly because we have

(25:22):
the delightful, hilarious Molly Shannon as a guest star on
this episode. She was so great, dude. Okay, had she
started doing dramatic stuff yet, I don't know. It's a
good question, but she Joel is gonna look. But I
gotta tell you, Donald, there is no better example of

(25:44):
a guest star bringing it. She steals. She steals a show, dude,
She steals a show. She's incredible. She steals a show. Dude.
It made me want to hire her to work with
me and something new. Everyone's hiring her, she's she's doing great.
But I just want to work with her again, just
reminding me how good she is. She steals the show, dude,

(26:05):
Like it's it's I love the the nostalgia of watching
what Turk and j D go through, so that h
JD can have that one moment with Molly at the end.
But and and the music at the end also phenomenal.
But what Molly Shannon does is like it's great, man,

(26:28):
she does the John Candy trained plains and automo yes,
like it's like it's that's a hard character to do
because it usually comes off very obnoxious. Of course, the
trick of that character is can you be that annoying
but have the audience like you? I mean, that's the challenge.
She nails it because you're you're partially watching through Johnny

(26:52):
and that scene where she's in the house with Christa
and Johnny c is very funny, but you're partially watching
from the john you see from the Coxs point of
you and being like, oh my god, this fucking woman.
But you can't. But she's so fucking charming still because
what Molly brings to it, you just like her and
you root for And that's even before you find out
what happened to her kid at the end, which is well,

(27:14):
if you let's sit there, we'll get there to that turn.
But that was beautiful. She was She's so wonderful on
this uh on on on the show. Um and and
that was really cool. Also, do you want to ask
me a question? Pretend pretend that I'm a Molly and
I came on the show. Just say, we'll say, what
was it like to work on the show? No, Molly,
what would it like to work with Zach Braff? He's

(27:37):
a very good director. I really like it when he
gave me good notes. That's Molly, that's yeah. I know
it's similar to DJ college, but and they're in netwall Um.

(28:00):
How about ice tongue? So JD is apparently runs to
the kitchen when he's making out with In the World
of Scrubs, JD is making out with other Graham and
decides that he's going to run to the refrigerator freezer
to grab ice because he thinks that ladies like ice tongue.

(28:20):
I like ice tongue, really, I've never ice tongued tongue.
Ice tongue is when you're like drinking, when you're drinking
soda or something that requires it to be cold with ice,
and then after you let the ice hit your tongue,

(28:40):
you kiss somebody who doesn't have that in their mouth.
There that doesn't have the cold feeling in their mouth.
And sometimes it's refreshing. It's way more so. You never
heard of it. That was, Yes, it's way more refreshing
than smoked tongue. Yeah, all right, you know it's way

(29:02):
more refreshing than smoke and mint tongue too. Um yeah,
but okay, So, I guess it's one thing if you're
making out with your person and you have a cold
drink in your hand and you make your tongue cold. Okay,
this guy's running to the kitchen to play. He's using it. Yeah,
he's using it as a as a method of seduction. Yeah, yes,
along with olive oil on his lips. Yes? Who told

(29:25):
him that was a good idea? I have no idea.
It's so funny. All Right, we're gonna take a break,
and when we come back, we're gonna talk about JD
put an olive oil on his lips. The hand. We're back,
We're back. Maria Antoinette. Molly Shannon's first dramatic role was

(29:47):
in two thousand and six Maria Antoinette. I didn't know
she was in. That must have been Sofia Coppola's movie
with Kirsten Dunst. Perhaps I don't know. Yes, Um, well,
Molly Shannon and I mean that was just an incredible performance.
We're gonna get to the end, which which gets even better.
We'll get that later. Yeah, what about Schinsky? Let's talk

(30:09):
about sin Yeah, let us talk about Shinsky. So it
didn't kill him, No, it didn't kill him. He falls
off the roof, the roll that's our hospital roof. That
that that clearly someone just they put they put a
different wall on it. But that's originally I originally I
do believe it did kill Shinsky. And they change that,
didn't they? Yes, I think Shinsky died and then someone

(30:30):
decided to soften it. Maybe they didn't want JD responsible
for killing someone. I wasn't really responsible. I just threw
him a beer. It's not my fall. He fell off
the fucking roof. Well, he reached. It was a bad throw.
It was a bad throw. But do you really think
that that's what they softened it? They're like, because it is,
it is corrected in voiceover that I go, I go.
Chinsky didn't die that day, but our friendship did Hinsky?

(30:55):
I mean shit, where the fuck did Shinsky come from?
Came from? I got the full mullet. You've got your
high top fade. It's not even a fade, it's look. Look,
I love the fact because this is real talk, and
a lot of my brothers out there know exactly what
I'm talking about. You get the fresh cut when you're young.

(31:18):
A lot of us don't got money like that to
get another fresh cut the next week or the next
cut in the next couple of days. So sometimes you
would go a month, month and a half, two months
without a fresh cut. If you look at Turk's hair,
that's Turk's hair. He didn't have money for a fresh cut,

(31:42):
so his fade is no longer. It's still got the
box shape, but it's damn near in Afro do you
remember do you remember when you were when they were
picking those wigs that do you remember thinking like, oh,
this needs to be cleaned up, or it's funny like that.
I was like, why can't we use the one from
the pilot because the one in the pilot is sick
and they were like, no, it just doesn't look realistic enough.

(32:04):
I was like, this ship doesn't look realistic. I used
to be so mad, but they were like, it's funny.
I'm sorry, this is what it's kind of. It was funny,
but I didn't, you know, for someone who doesn't have
that kind of hair, I didn't. It was always lops.
I used to hate when I had to put that
on because it was all I thought. It was so funny. Well,
we're not supposed to look good, dudek my fucking mullet, dude,

(32:25):
no doubt hindsight being twenty twenty, Well, I thought I
was thinking, kidn't play high top fate. Hindsight being twenty twenty,
it is hilarious when I look back at it now.
But that being said, right at the moment in time,
I was like, I just want a fresh cut. Please
give me a fresh cut. I don't know why they
couldn't clean. Can't you clean a wig up? Can't you

(32:47):
like how didn't shape it? Dude? My wig anomics is
not really high. I don't have a high wig anomics. Cue.
I don't know what that means. You mean your wig
knowledge or wiganomics. It's a science, due all right? Now?
How about when I push you in the fucking bushes?
That shit's hilarious because Molly tells me she only is

(33:10):
attracted to like troubled guys. I go on this huge
monologue about how fucked up my life is and how
I'm very well done too. Not only did you have
to direct, but you had to deliver a heartfelt need
to get that ass monologue. You need to get that
ass monologue. That is the ultimate example of like say
whatever you got to say to get the girl to

(33:31):
get that ass. It to go to get that ass,
Dad asked, I mean, first of all, let's talk about
how there's two moments in this where I was called
upon to shoot Heather. Talk about a good directing assignment
for your first TV job. In the script, there's two
moments that are sort of sexual fantasies about Heather Graham.
Will you be able to accomplish those? Uh, mister director, Yeah,

(33:55):
I got this, but she gives it to you at
the end too. But the innocent version of it. Oh,
you know what I mean? What about the stretch with
the thong. I mean, I'm sorry to sound like a
teenage boy, but when she does the yawn stretch with
the thongs showing. Yeah, but it's it's the lip bite,
the lip bite. You know, I'm a sucker for a
lip bite. I must spressed that I don't know if

(34:16):
she was throwing and left left lip bites left and
right without me. Well, she she's always done it. I'm
telling you. Look at license to drive like lip bites
and license to drive and in swingers and come on, dude,
I didn't my Heather Graham was a lip biter. It's
like it was like a signature type of thing. So
you asked her to do it. She does it for
you when the sexual fantasy, and then she gives it

(34:39):
to you at the end when it's the goodbye so long,
and it's even better because it's the cute. You know,
it could have been us. It could have been us.
But I am such a I am such a That's
my kryptonite. I'm a sucker for the for the lip bite. Dude.
It's man, you captured all of the look man, it's

(34:59):
and it's not because I love you. It is what
I do what I do. But you captured all of
the great moments from my youth that I love about movies.
If I walk away from a movie feeling like this,
like this is almost like la la land, you know
what I mean? What if they would That's the highest
praise there is from you. No, but think about it.
What if they would have gotten together, you know what

(35:19):
I mean? And then and then and then Elliott would
have never the whole thing with Elliot would have never happened.
It's such an important moment in and JD doesn't even
realize it. It's such an important moment in the JD
Elliott relationship. Her sleep. It's obvious her sleeping, which your
brother isn't going to ruin the relationship for the two

(35:42):
of you, but you're sleeping with her best friend, with
her mentor would fucking devastate her. I know we're being
so it's like more the roses. I mean, Elliot and
I are fucking going for broke in terms of fucking
with each other. She fucked my brother, now I'm trying
to sleep with her fucking men tour. It's like it's
like war. Yeah, yeah, it's Oh, it's such a great

(36:07):
It's such a great I mean, like, dude, you did
you did a really good job. This is well directed
and kudos to the crew. Kudos to the who wrote
this episode. It's Mike Schwartz. I mean, you know how
it goes all they all work on it, but Mike
is the head writer on the Kudos to the writers.
Kudos Mike Schwartz, Like well edited. Everything was well edited,
you know what I mean, Like it's it's lit well

(36:30):
it's I mean, it's an epic adventure yeah, and Scrubs
that but that fits this before we went off the rails,
before We're crazy out of control, it's an epic adventure
that still fits the Scrubs mold. After this season, we're gone, dude,
It's like, what do you mean you feel like the

(36:52):
tone changed in season five? I think we get so
whacky by the time, Like we're starting to show you
whackiness here, like if we're if if if we're dealing
out little bits of wackiness here by the time we
get to the by the time we have season five season, dude,
my hand freezes and I use it to come to

(37:16):
on my wife's head and when she's pregnant an ice pack.
As I know, But we have, we've we've we've already
talked about there's moments where like it's so the show's
already been so surreal it gets I don't know, Maybe
you're right, I I honestly don't remember what happens, dude.
Our bigger Listen, our big adventures after this aren't this.

(37:37):
Our big adventures after this, our musicals. Our big adventures
are Wizard of Oz homages, and our our big adventures
after this, our fantasies to you know, like, uh, um,
this that was what we were spending money on. After that,
we got really uh what's the word I'm looking for? Silly? No,
not so, we got special effects, see you know what

(37:59):
I mean, Like it just got everything got really, it
got brighter, we got shiny all of a sudden. When
it became the special episode, this still fit the mold
of this is what Scrubs look like. We were still
you know, I don't know, man, I don't know how
to explain it. Well, you just love it. How about
that scooter stunt into the wall? Now, I remember saying
to the stunt man, because I was directing and also

(38:22):
supposed to be on the scooter, that you've somehow fixed
all like Turtain knows how to fix scooters. I remember
saying to him, like, so, how do we do this,
Like how do we make sure you don't get hurt?
He's like, well, I really just have to drive it
into the wall. And I was like, um, yeah, there's
no like, there's nothing really to be done to ensure
your safety. And he's like, no, I'm just gonna drive

(38:45):
the scooter in the wall. Because he does. I mean,
I don't know if we sped it up a tiny bit,
maybe in post, but he just fucking drives that scooter
in the wall and it hits the wall straight up,
and then there's blood on the wall, and the janitor's pissed.
Is this your head blood? Is this your head blood? Now?
That was fucking now. First of all, it's in addition

(39:06):
to all the things that made this epic, we had
to go out to the middle of nowhere to do
this place where the janitor drops me off. Do you
remember we went there. I don't know where that was,
but I remember that it felt like we were running
on a track when we were running. No, no, we were.
I remember we location scouted for it, and it was
you know, we were looking for it has to feel
like middle of fucking nowhere. And we shot it at night, obviously,

(39:29):
and I remember it just being I remember we had
a crane because there's some cool crane shots. But I
remember laughing so hard at so many things. The janitor
pushes me out of the van and I'm like, what
are you doing? And he goes, it's been four years.
How do you not get how this works? You know?
Because he's just leaving me in the middle of nowhere.

(39:50):
It was a great, it's it's how you get stranded
this look, man, I can't say this enough. You've You've
made your point. It's it reminds me of license to drive. No,
but how do you make this? How do you make
this show with all these ridiculous look like, dude, it's

(40:12):
the scope of this. Where did we shoot this? Tell me? Please?
I know that. I mean, I'm sure it was you know,
within a half hour from the hospital and in the
valley that this this this middle of nowhere moment. And
then it had to be a park. It was a park.
It had to be a park. Well, I know there's
like fucked up cars and shit. We added that. I
don't think there was any like garbage there and stuff.

(40:34):
We added that stuff. But dude, so, how funny is
I call you and I calling on my cell phone
and and then what happens? You're checking your diabetes right,
and I say, come here, I need you, and then
Judy come and Judy drives you, and then what happened?
You say something that I said? So she says, She says,

(40:56):
I can't believe he's doing this for sex, and I go,
it's not for sex, it's for sex with Molly shit,
I'd kill someone to have sex with Molly. Yeah, and
you're my wife. Sorry, your wife's not really down with that.
She's like, that's it, and she drives off, leaving us. Yeah,
and then you come back and then you come to
me and and and I'm like, yo, what were you

(41:20):
doing all the way out there? And you're treat back Kyle.
I was like, oh, you got your phone? He took it.
And then we're running in the field. That's hilarious. My
outfits too tight, mine constricting, contracting, my too lots. And
then we switch much better. And then you're like, you're

(41:43):
like and then you're like, I don't think I can
make it, and I'm like, just think about just think
about Molly. And then you cut to the fantasy and
then you start running really fast. Now that's what I'm
talking about. By the way, you look ripped that This
is back then. This is when I thought I was fat.
This is when you weren't fat. Man, Your body looks

(42:03):
I wish I looked like like Tay Diggs. Baby, I
wish I looked like that. Still you look fierce. Um,
I don't. I've never heard a coyote called a kyote.
Is that a thing. Yeah, sure, all right, but it's
never and I never heard the expression being treated by something.
Have you heard that? Yeah, like I roofed it or

(42:26):
you treat that shit. I never heard that before. But
there's something so funny about saying that was treat I
was treated by that kyote? Did you you improvise that
shit too? If I remember correctly right, I don't think
I mean it may have been a One thing that
was great about this episode, by the way, is um
I do have some jokes, and that for the first

(42:46):
time ever, I had some jokes that were written in
because we we scheduled me directing this. Obviously, a director
needs a week to prep, so we would when every
time I directed any of the Scrubs episodes I directed,
it would come after a hiatus week that we had
so I could have that prior week to prep. And
one of the great things about prepping was when I

(43:07):
wasn't off location scouting or casting or doing other things
directors do, um Bill was totally down and and welcoming
me into the writer's room. So I would sit with
the writers on my episodes and pitch jokes just like
everybody else. And so I do have a handful that
got in here. But I can't take credit for treat
by Kayote because I didn't even heard that expression before.
It's hilarious. We may have made up. We may have

(43:30):
made up. He took it together at your phone, he
took it. He took it, um JD. Where are you hurry?
Oh my goodness, I remember when I remember when we
were shooting that. Um Bill came down to set and
he was like, oh my god, I do remember this.

(43:52):
It's like, I'm talking for a second. What did he expect?
What did you expect me? Did he take you aside?
Was he like, yeo, hold on, come here? But I remember, dick.
He was being a dick because obviously, but it was
it was out of control though we had been on
that like I was there, Like, I don't know why

(44:13):
you were there. There was no reason for you to
be there. Why were you visiting set that moment? Because
we were shooting. It was still shooting. We were still shooting, dude.
We had to shoot all of that in one day.
We had to shoot her. No, I'm talking about her
in bed going j D. That's the that's the bedroom
next door to the to the um that's your bedroom.
That's the apartment room. So we shot all of the

(44:34):
apartment stuff that day, so I don't know remembers. It
was a really embarrassing moment because, first of all, it
was written in the script that this Molly and Lingerie
is calling from me, all right, but of course, you know,
Bill comes to set and I've got like Heather Graham
and Lingerie in bed doing her lip bites, and the
and the cameras dollying in and there's like atmosphere smoke

(44:56):
in the air, and I remember building like, oh my god,
what are you doing, like trying to try to embarrass
me in front of the crew, like I'm something like
I don't know, fucking pervert, but I'm like you wrote it, bro,
I'm just fucking executing this ship. Very funny and very
very funny for the joke. Yeah, and she, you know,
she was so game to like, you know, Heather, you
could have someone like Heather, who's who's been a sex

(45:17):
symbol type for so long and who could say like, oh,
come on, I'm gona do another one of these like
blonde bombshell fantasy things. But she was like so in
on the joke and fun about it. You ever see
both Finger. Oh my god, I love both Finger. I
mean he goes when when when Eddie goes, You're doing
it great, You're doing great, You're gonna be a big star.

(45:40):
I gotta rewatch Movinger. I only thought it once. What, Yeah,
you you've seen it more than once. Oh my goodness,
I've seen that movie so many times. I never thought
I'd ever see a movie with two people like Eddie
Murphy and uh, Steve Martin. I thought Eddie Murphy had
gotten to the point where he didn't have to do
movies with people like that anymore, Like he was enough.

(46:03):
But Eddie, first of all, he steals the movie. But
Steve Martin carries the movie. You know what I mean? Yeah,
it's really again, I remember laughing so hard. It's really interesting.
It's really it's really I get the dynamic of the
of having the two now, like when you had Sydney
Potier and Bill Cosby Doo movies together, I get the dynamic.

(46:24):
Or when you have like Vince Vaughan and and and
and Jon Favreau, do I get or Zach Braff and
Donald Faison, I get the I get the dynamic. You
know what I mean? I I it took. I just
get the dynamic and I and I thank Eddie Murphy
and and uh Steve Martin for that. Like, well, if

(46:46):
you haven't seen Both Finger our our friends listeners, check
it out. It's laugh out loud funny. And Eddie Murphy
plays twins, right, he does play twins. He plays Kit
and he plays his twin brother. And the nerdy one
is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Well, the dialogue
that Kit has is really funny. Also, dude like, like,

(47:09):
you know, he's he's a part of this religious cult
and the reason why he's a part of it because
he's going crazy. Hears a voice in his head and
they're like, well, what's the boys say to you? Kit?
He's like, as I sit here before you, the Laker
girls must be taken down a pega two. Oh my god,

(47:38):
you're making me. I'm gonna watch this movie tonight. You're
reminding me how funny. It's so good man, it's so funny.
And they make it's about making a movie in Hollywood
where you know you don't have a budget, and so
you're stealing ways to make movies. And that's this dude
hires a bunch of people from home depot his crew,
and then it's also I think I remember another reason

(48:00):
and I really liked it. It was like a comedy
that's also behind the scenes of making a movie, which
I appreciate. And so you know, at the beginning, these
guys have zero idea on how to you know, work
a camera, and by the end of it, they're you know,
they're great. It's just such a funny movie. Man. All right, funny.
There you go. There's your recommendation of the week. Everybody
check out both finger. Um, let's talk about how we

(48:20):
find Kelso with a prostitute. Yeah, you gotta take your
shoes off if you're coming in movies. If you guys
want to give me shoes off. So it's official, everybody,
Kelso um enjoy enjoy sex workers. Is she a sex worker? Well, yeah,

(48:43):
I guess so, because she's dressed up like a sex worker, right,
I mean, that's that's not a massage. That's not a massage, bro.
I think it's safe to infer that there was banging
going on. Um, oh my god, so that was I
forgot if it was too different locations or if that
was all on the universal backst No, that's sacred heart hospital.

(49:04):
Everything that we did institute was in the hospital, and
then pulling off my gown was in the hospital. The
only thing that the only thing that is on the
lot is you zip from the zip line on is
you at the lot? Right? I remember I had to
go I remember I had to go into the tower
of that building and wait to pretend like it was

(49:27):
me standing behind you. That was the only reason why.
And then I had to zip down. I didn't zip down,
but don't. Right. That was so funny. So yeah, those
buildings on the back lot, they don't have interiors, they
just they're just facades. And so when we were so yeah,
all of that stuff, even you're right, Donald, even the
even us when I rip off your gown, that's um
we built. They built a window in the wall that

(49:50):
was one of the doors, and we did it at that.
We did it like it was we did it there right, right,
And then the building and then the building they made
the hallway I really I think it was the first floor.
They made the hallway look like apartment building, right, And
it was like that for a while too. Yeah, you're right,
But dude, how funny is it when I rip off

(50:10):
your gown it's hilarious. It is a great it's a
great moment. It's a great moment. So then we have
the coolest shot in Scrubs history where I zip line
across the street and then the stuntman nailed. I did,
actually did ziplining, but I stopped shy of nailing that that.

(50:31):
What do you call those things? What do you call
the roll down protector of the store the storefront gate? Yeah,
whatever it is, um, And the guy fucking really took
a nice hit and then shakes in the air. He
shimmy's in the air, Dude, how do you do that?
He hits the wall and use you know the and

(50:53):
propels off the wall using using his body. He shimmy's
in the air like the fourth I could. I don't
know how you do it. He hit the wall, and
after he hit the wall, that split second in the air,
he shakes and then falls. Now I loved it. When
I pop up, I've got spaghetti in my hair, and
I'm trying to act like I I it's just a coincidence.

(51:16):
We're running into each other, and I go, Molly, so funny,
I can't, dude, so funny, so funny, man like, And
then this, and then the conversation that you too have
and and the note Sarah Elliott gets me back. Man,

(51:37):
now we're even who's a wish? That'sen Brothers. I knew
it was Carrie. Honestly, oh you, I think we should
end the show with it, since it's one of the
rare opportunities we can play our friends music. That is,
the Brothers used to sleep to that song when beautiful

(51:59):
when around this time, a beautiful song, around the time,
this song was so I needed this song, so wish.
Oh my guy. Honestly, oh, you guys are sleeping on
Carrie Brothers if you're not listening to his music. And

(52:19):
by the way, it's one man's name. Carrie Brothers is
his last name. So many people think it's the Carry Brothers. No,
it's Carrie Brothers. Yeah, but I mean a lot of
Daniel's one of those people who thought it was Carry Brothers.
It's like, I can't find the Carrey Brothers anywhere. Man,
what kind of what we're looking for? Daniel, Remind me
we're gonna end the show with Carrey Brothers, the human,

(52:41):
not the not to a pair of brothers, and we're
doing a fan called We Have I mean, I guess
we're getting close. I still have more to talk about,
but we're gonna take a break and we're gonna go
to the fan call right right back after these words
from our friends at you and we're bad and we're bad.

(53:04):
You got to talk about the live show, because that's
getting more real, right, Choel. All I know is I
woke up this morning and it was like, sixty five
emails's happening. It's really I couldn't catch up. I had
to read. I was like, dang, oh my gosh, it's
like we read a script. Well, um, you know, while
you're sleeping, we're planning. Well, I'm caught up now, and

(53:28):
we're we're aiming for This isn't solidified, right, Joel, but
we're aiming for the last Friday in March, that's right,
and then um, it'll be like maybe two hours somewhere
in there. And um we found that we oh, I
found this app one of my followers on Instagram, which
you should be if you're not following me, come on,

(53:49):
I'm close to one point five. I need to get
over the edge. I need to edge edge me guys,
edge mail. Um all right, sorry, um you guys U.
One of my followers friends told me that there's this

(54:10):
website you can just do. It's called like instant straw
poles or some straw straw pole, so we can just
like we can just tell everyone to go on there
and ask a question and they can and it's like instant.
You'll see like the numbers move. So we can use that.
Donald since the program we're using to do the live
show doesn't have a pole feature, but we learned that
we could do it separately if we want to, let's
do it. And um, we are going to pull you

(54:34):
and play we should play family feud? Oh yeah, we
asked a hundred listeners. I'm dead serious though, I was
reached out to and to see how my family wanted
to play family feud. Wait are you serious? I'm dead serious.
My family does not live in Los Angeles, California, so
they can fucking get a RV if they don't want

(54:57):
to fly. I was saying. I was saying, I have
a family right here at Fake Doctor's Real Friends. Why
not do a fake doctors If I could get it
to happen, why couldn't we do a fake Doctor's Real
Friends family feud? We could promote the show, and we
could promote the and we could be on fake and
we could be on Family Feud. I'm just saying it's possible.
I don't know. That's amazing. Look how happy that Daniel

(55:18):
is about the idea I love. I don't know if
that's pot. I don't I don't know if it's pot.
I don't know if it's I don't know if. Well.
First of all, I have two thoughts. I have two thoughts.
I would love to go on Family Feud as our
fake doctor's real friends family um. But also I would
be thoroughly entertained by your actual family going. I'm scared
to do that. I would be too scared to do that.
I'm sorry. Your mom would be hilarious, Yeah, I know,

(55:39):
I I yeah, you know what I yeah, And my
dad would be hilarious, and your brothers would be hilarious
and would be hilarious, and I would be so embarrassed.
And so therefore you listen. I love these listeners. Don't
they know Casey a little bit from from listening to
the show. She's so funny and charming. The obviously don't

(56:00):
know your mom and your brothers. I mean, they would
be hilarious. I don't know why you're even thinking about this,
but yeah, I'd rather be us anyway. I think it
should be us, and they're not gonna choose like a
po podcast. Yeah, obviously we could do it for why not?
I got you, dude, I got me, and you are
you kidding me? They'd be like, wait, hold up, you
and Zach I willing to do it? You think you
can maybe get like h then they're gonna then they're

(56:21):
gonna go down to the Scrubs cast wormhole, where I'd
rather have Joelle and Daniel. I would rather that too,
because then we're promoting fake doctor's real friends. Scrubs is
no longer on, and just promote Scrubs anyway. Tell them
that we're interested as long as we can promote our podcast.
All right, let's go to the fans. Well, your wife

(56:45):
can come on too, because she's technically part of the pod. Yeah,
I know. She was like, this is what she said,
this is and I'll get Florence too. No, no, Florence
gonna do it. That's what my wife said. My wife said,
I know Florence Wiley doesn't even know what. I'm sure
she doesn't know what family Feud is she doesn't grow
up on that like we did. I grew up in
and it's and it's and it's Steve Harvey too. So
I know, come on, Bud, I would love I just

(57:06):
want to I just want to say something that's worthy
of a Steve Harvey deadpan fig. Yes. So look, if
you're listening to Family Feud, I guess this is the
pitch right here. I don't know if I don't know
if the bookers at Family Feud listen to the podcast,
but we're down. They know what's good down. Um, all right,
let's bring in the collar. What we got today? We

(57:27):
have two people, yeah, huh, huh huh. He give it
up for Rachel Libertine and right right right, that's right, Tyler,
I'm sorry. And Tyler, who is at the hospital with

(57:50):
the dopest pool badge I've ever seen in my live
He got a pool badge. You too can get a
pull batch all right, first one, it's called badge pulls. Okay,
So I want to show I want to tell the
listeners that Tyler appears to work in a hospital, or
is that correct? I work for a hospital. I'm actually

(58:10):
in a training room. This is my office at a
high school. Okay, questions, but more apparently more importantly, he's
wearing a badge pull with our faces on it, which
it's I think, well maybe, yeah, it's a badge pull.
But okay, um um there for sale, all right, get

(58:34):
him for your friends and for your friends. You need
badge bulls. You guys, what's going on? We know nothing.
We have a two very good looking people. Um. I'm
hoping that you're dating, uh, in love with each other
and separated or something, Joelle, Is that the story? Well,
I don't want them to be separated, No, but they're
not in the same zoom windows. So I'm thinking it's
like a long lost love, love that can't be forbidden

(58:56):
love Jack Jack going into the ocean at the end
of titan He could have got on that, he could
have got on, Rachel. There's plenty of room on the
door for Tyler. Sorry, that's a deep Titanic joke. All right,
go ahead, Rachel. What's going on here? Oh no, we're
just we're both like we're at separate work workplaces right now.
So not not a long distance situation. Okay, I was

(59:17):
trying to make it more romantic. First of all, where
are you from and where are you at? We are
in Cleveland, east side, Cleveland area, okay, And I had
to remind myself Donald, what's the place that you love
to eat in Cleveland? Again, there's Slimon, Slimon, That's what

(59:38):
I was thinking of it also Mabels Mabels, Okay, barbecue. Yeah. Well,
Tyler Ruden because he wanted us to help fix Rachel's life. Okay,
we'll go right well, I um, Rachel is a physician.

(01:00:03):
Got hold on what's one second, ladies and gentlemen, it's
time for Cleveland, Ohio's favorite segment. It's time too. Thanks
you live Tyler. When you guys are a couple, right, Yes, yes, sir,
we are okay, and Um and you are are in

(01:00:24):
different workplaces, so um and are you both in the
medical fields? Yes, sir? I once again, I'm an I
fight charing in the sports medicine realm uh Rachel um
and she'll explain more clearly. She is a doctor, a
resident physician UM in the Cleveland System Hospital systems UM,

(01:00:47):
and I have I've been emailing Joel on a day
to day basis, kind of like saying, hey, you know,
I really like to give Rachel some recognition for all
the hard work. She's going through a bit of a
career crisis right now of where her jobs going, and
I really want to give her a little bit of

(01:01:07):
a platform and also some recognition for all the work. Um.
One thing with Scrubs is being a resident in scrubs
and it's like you work so much and you get
little to know time for yourself and the recognition and uh,
the just overall what you deserve to be given at

(01:01:29):
for all all you sacrifice. Um and Joel picked up
on it, and I really just wanted to give Rachel
a little bit of like, just have you guys give
her some advice on so well we will, But I
gotta start off by saying you must are you as
married or dating dating? I gotta say you're a really
good boyfriend because you've been stalking Joel to give your

(01:01:50):
your your partner some affirmation slash advice and that just
I don't know, it just means you. I sense that
you're a good man. Thank you, thank you. Maybe it
might be the badge pull, but I just something about you,
all right, Rachel? Alight, Rachel, how can we fix your life?

(01:02:13):
Not only do you have Donald, but you have Danelon Joel.
We're here for you. This is your time to shine.
No one's listening. No one across the earth is listening
but us six. Nobody can hear you. Just just this.
What happens here stays here. Yes, No, you can talk
shit about your job whatever you want. Oh gosh, okay. Um,
I think the biggest thing I guess, you know, in

(01:02:35):
terms of fix my life, which yes, I should take
a second and say that this is amazing that Tyler
did this. Um definitely the probably the most supportive thing
anyone's ever done for me, so m thank you. But UM,
I think in terms of you know, how you guys
can help out or maybe some advice is how to

(01:02:57):
get through the pay your dues kind of you know,
time in your career. So you know, I've seventeen eighteen
years old, good at science, so I figured why not
just go to you know, do med school, do that process,
go through pre med and you're kind of on this
journey and you wake up one day and you struggle

(01:03:17):
to realize, like, is this really what I even want
to be doing? Am I really enjoying this? And I'm
sure in your own personal lives obviously professionally, you guys
played residence. You guys you know, were residents who had
to go through residency in the concept of paying your dues.
So just kind of curious in your own lives, when

(01:03:39):
have you guys had to do that? And like, how
how can I navigate this time where I'm just kind
of climbing up a ladder and hoping that I get
to the top and it's a great view, but right
now it's pretty tough. Well, we have the perfect analogy,
and it's not in being medicine, because when we were
pretending to me in medicine, we were stars getting treated

(01:04:00):
really well and having our own personal dressing rooms, and
all we had to do is go try and make
people laugh. But the analogy that's perfect is trying to
be actors, because we we had you at least have
a guarantee that if you work your ass off and
make it true, you're going to be, you know, the
highest thing you can be in society, a doctor that

(01:04:21):
helps people. I mean, I don't think that there's any
greater the way you can give back to society. I mean,
it's just like the greatest in my mind, the greatest
honor and career there is, but Donald and I you know,
had to go out there with no idea if we
would ever get work. In fact, for my first audition

(01:04:41):
was when I was thirteen years old. I got little
things here and there, but I didn't really get a
meaningful job until twenty five, Right, Donald, do you want
to speak to that? Yeah, you know, I think I
feel like I'm still paying my dues, I'm still to
the It's it's a journey, you know what I mean.
You said it in in everything you were talking about,

(01:05:02):
you said the keyword, it is a journey. That's the
best part of this whole thing. Paying your dues and
getting the accolades for you know, putting the work in.
That's still a part of the journey. Because at the
end of Scrubs, I'm still an actor and I'm still
searching and trying to get another job, you know what

(01:05:24):
I mean. I'm still trying to continuing further my career.
And there was a you know, you're always gonna have
to pay your dues, and there's gonna be great times.
There's gonna be times where you're like this is so awesome,
and there's gonna be times where it's like I don't
know why I'm doing this, but it's the journey. That's

(01:05:44):
the reward is the journey, I promise you it's not.
There's nothing else You'll You'll get so much. You'll get
so much out of it when it stops becoming, when
it stops becoming. Well, if I work this hard, I'm
gonna get this and just accept that. You know, I
love what I do. Let me just experience what it has.

(01:06:08):
Think about also like the different I mean, you are
so blessed in a way that most people aren't in
that you every day can make a difference in someone's life. Um,
you know, most people who are who have who are good.
We all we hope to change people's lives for the better.
We know we do this little comedy show. We hope

(01:06:30):
we make people giggle a little bit. We you know,
we go out in the real world. I think that
we like to say that we are good human beings.
You are doing something that every day there is tangible
evidence that you're making a difference in people's lives. And
I know we know how hard it is, just from
faking it and and and getting to know real doctors.

(01:06:51):
We know how hard it is for you but but
I mean, obviously your workload will will lighten up in time,
and just think about I think you just have the
greatest gift, the ability to genuinely affect people's lives for
the better. I can't imagine a greater honor than that. Well, yeah,
I mean, maybe you don't hear it enough. You're a hero,

(01:07:15):
you know what I mean. Maybe that's something you don't
hear enough. Maybe that's what you need to hear, you know,
more often. And and it's true you you know, I
don't know what your situation is. I don't know, but
you're definitely in the path of what's killing a lot
of Americans right now just by being in a hospital,

(01:07:37):
you know what I mean. So you are a hero
and you need to understand that. And I know, to
your magnitude, I can't, I can't. I don't even know
how to explain what it is that you go through.
But from my experience, the lows are just is are
are are low, but the highs are so wonderful and

(01:08:01):
so rewarding, and you know, just stayed the path and stay.
Not to mention there's so many people in your position
that don't have a partner that they're crazy about well
that that's that that don't have a partner that's as
supportive raw supportive. But also I mean, look at the guy,
he's a stud. You're doing really well. Um, I just
don't work out. You work out, man, you work out.

(01:08:23):
Don't get into it, don't get into his muscle stalk
all right, listen, thank Rachel. Rachel. I just want to say, like,
I know it's hard, but like there's so many people,
no matter what the career, but in particularly medicine I'm sure,
who are doing this all alone and are doing it
all like oh fucking like, this is so hard, This
is so hard. I have no one but I and
I have no one to come home too because I'm

(01:08:45):
so focused on my career. You're like in relationship with
this awesome guy who's stalking Joel to get you a
pep talk from us, Like, um, so you got to
just focus on how how blessed you are for all
the things. I'm I mean, like what's happening in your life.
You're like going to be you are a doctor. You
are going to be a career doctor and all the

(01:09:08):
lives you'll affect, and you got this great fella Jesus,
I think I loves amazing. It is true. I mean
there's a piece of trying to you know, stop the
train of just kind of where am I going? Where
am I going? And looking around and seeing what I
have now for sure need to appreciate that, and I think, um,
you know, taking time stepping away and seeing the bigger picture,

(01:09:30):
because there's just a lot of tiny details and mundane tasks,
and you know, the day to day can get blurry
and you can forget the things that you guys have
brought up that come with the job and come with
the career. So I mean, just think about I mean,
I I just so I'm envious of the difference that
you can make in the world. You know, all we

(01:09:54):
can do is hopefully we entertain people, hopefully we make
them laugh, hopefully occasionally bring a tear to their eye,
and I'm happy with that being a storyteller and is
my I feel so fucking lucky I get to do
it in any capacity. But for you, I just I'm
envious of the fact that you literally and sometimes it
will be as extreme as saving someone's life, and sometimes

(01:10:15):
it'll just be like the bedside manner of sitting there
and listening to someone who's distraught and nodding your head
and making them feel better. I mean, you you can
make such a difference in the world. That's fucking thrilling. Yeah. Yeah, again,
all things that get like tossed aside sometimes during you know,
the training period of the career UM, where it just

(01:10:36):
seems like there's more to learn and more hours to work,
and you know, it's easy to forget about those those
moments at the bedside, but you're exactly right. They definitely
can keep me going. You're gonna you're you're you're nearing
the end. Well, you're always gonna have to learn something though.
Well yeah, but I'm saying, how much longer of this
insane you have no control over your hours situation? About

(01:10:57):
a year and a half, so yeah, definitely. Well, well,
I mean, look how far you've made it. You I mean,
you can't I know, I know sometimes you I'm sure
you want to give up and say fuck this, but
I mean you're so close to that, and uh, I
don't know. I'm I'm happy for you. I'm excited for you.
Do you do you have a specialty that you want
to go into. UM, so I work with in pediatrics.

(01:11:19):
So that's you buried the lead. Yeah. I get to
work with the all all the kids, the young and
the older kids. So um, I like working with the
teenagers primarily. Those are actually my favorite patients if I
had to pick. So potentially, you know, probably the reason
why Tyler and I even uh linked up in the

(01:11:39):
first place. I have an interest in sports medicine as well.
So something in those in those lines. Well, I mean,
Bumble came through for us. Bumble you guys are Bumble
got out to Bumble notes. We're trying to get We're trying,
as you know for listening to the podcast, We're trying
to get a dating app to sponsor us. We can

(01:12:00):
do a whole Joel's segment on her dating If you
remember some of the theme songs that were that were
very popular. Um man, do you remember bumble bee Tuna
speaking of bumbo bum bum bumboo bee bumboo. I love
a salad made with bumboo bee bob. Yeah, the salad

(01:12:21):
made with bumble bee bumboo bee. Um all right, so
um wow, I'm uh, you know, we didn't even know
you're a pediatric, so that's even more I mean, that's
even more special. Um. Listen, there's an expression that my
mom taught me. I always think about um, and of

(01:12:44):
course you probably heard it. Um. This two shall pass,
and it's important to remember it when things were going great,
that you need to savor it because this two shall pass.
And remember when things are fucking shitty, because this two
shall pass. So get that tattooed on your wrist. Yeah,
I definitely had plenty of call ships before. If not

(01:13:07):
your wrist, your forehead, not for it. She's too she's
too nice and sweet and pretty for that on her forehead.
And I'm sure that Tyler doesn't want a tattoo on
her for it. But but maybe you know a little
wrist spot right there. Yeah, yeah, all right. I don't
know what else to say other than I'm happy for you, guys.
I'm happy about bumble if you're single. If you're single,

(01:13:29):
you got to see these two people. They're both like
in the medical profession and there they look like models.
They're on bumble for you. I'm doing I'm getting bumble
a plug for no reason. Bumble. We are at fucking advertising.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, are well Joel oh
see Daniel's catchphrase Joel let's sign you up for Bumble.

(01:13:49):
make a difference. Okay, Bumble is the one that that bumbles,
the one that gets into your Facebook friends, right, Yeah,
and the girl, the woman has to reach out first.
So could you You made the first move? I made
the first move. Look at that. Oh my god, you stud,

you were supposed to save this for like seven. He's
got a good one. He's got a fucking beautiful doctor
on the hook. Do you think he's gonna suck it up?
And that's where I want to just throw out, like
thank you so much, Joel, Like I I just tried
for the past couple, like just a month. I've been

(01:14:54):
trying day to day. I'm just like, hey, like given
the detail and found like I'm a click picture of us.
See if that gets there like trying to fix it up.
So I guess to anybody who's trying to get on here,
keep working. Joel's see that she's going to get to you.
I appreciate that, but please no Dick picks no automatic

(01:15:16):
And I didn't know about this. Dick picks her an
automatic disqualification. Well, now you know now, and now you
know Tyler by the way, Tyler was gonna resort. He
was two weeks away from trying that, but he didn't
do it. I feel the cum gutters. He brought it up. Setters,

(01:15:59):
Do you guys have any question? Well, we did an
extra long segment. Do we're going an hour and a half.

to say about the episode. R one quick question, go ahead,

the fixings fries, and a Oreo cookie milkshake. Yep. But

long order, aren't. I've been eating it and out since
I was a child. So I got Sally dude. You're
Sally from when Harry Much Sally Dude. Yeah, I don't

(01:17:57):
want to like take us away too quickly. I just
want to if I can do a shout out shout.
I have to shout out because I've Scrubs has changed
my life just like influenced me when I was younger,
and big shout out to my best friend whose name
is Tyler Perry's his name. He's so successful yea, so

(01:18:22):
I just want to stay. Shout out to him, thank
you so much. And so your friend, you loved your
work as media. Yes, you're wonderful as media. And you've
built a fake white house apparently on your own black
cloud in Atlanta. Is that where he makes his show
as Atlanta believe? So yeah, shout out Atlanta, Tyler Perry
doing it, Tyler Perry doing it. Um. And I didn't

(01:18:44):

(01:19:05):
So I hope you're having a good Friday Friday night
with your your apple Teenie's good. Now, Rachel, when you
get upset and you want to go feedle and you
frustrate your job, I want you to think of us
telling you this too shall pass. Or you can just look,
or you can just look in the mirror at your
new forehead tattoo. Well, make sure to get it backwards

(01:19:26):
on your forehead so that'll look right in the mirror. True.
I'm gonna talking with every patient reassure them without you
being point. You'll just point to your forehead. Hey, when
they're sad, they're like, I'm so fucking sick of being sick.
You're like, look at this, look at this, or, as
Tom Kavanaugh once sang at upfronts, I can be a
here o baby, you d my breath of rom Okay,

(01:19:56):
on that note, we're gonna let you guys go. Thank
you for coming ho. Yeah, so nice but lovely people.
It's always great having them on. Oh they were cute.
I hope we aspired. I hope we gave her a

(01:20:16):
good pep talk. I hope so too, because I know
how she feels. Man. All right, let's end on a
funny note because we got all worked up. I want
to talk about just the end of the episode, that
scene when Molly Shannon's character breaks down. I believe what
if you look at the shot, she's very close to

(01:20:37):
the lens and doctor Cox is in the doorway, and
they're both in focus. So if I'm not mistaken, we
used something called a split field diopter, which enables you
to have something very close. It's it's basically a half
a lens that screws onto the front of your lens

(01:20:58):
that allows you to match the Fokal distance. And I'm
really into them and have used them a few times.
They always have an out of focus scene. Yeah yeah,
So if you notice, if you go back and watch
when Cox is in the doorway, he kind of leans
into it for a second and kind of goes out
of focus. But that's how you get that that shot.

(01:21:18):
And the other thing I want to tell you about
that is when I first showed it to Bill. There
was other coverage in that scene, but that shot was
so powerful and Molly Shannon's performance was so powerful that
I said to Bill, Um, please don't cut it. Please
don't use any of the other cuts in my cut.
I never cut away. I used stayed on that shot
the whole time and um and to his credit, he
left it in in his final edit because I just thought,

(01:21:42):
you know, when a performance is that good, you know,
don't cut it up. Show the audience that this is
all real and happening. This isn't manufactured in the edit room,
you know. Yeah, dude, I mean I just want to
recap the whole show once again by saying one right
job too, Molly Shannon, Wow, holy cow, really phenomenal, uh

(01:22:08):
performance in this episode of Scrubs, I'm saying. And Johnny
C also, you know, it takes two to tango and
he played he you know, he played the other part
in those scenes very well to make it, to make
to make her performance work. So shout out Johnny C
as well. Um, and uh, you know, this is this

(01:22:28):
is one of those episodes. This, this is why I
got into acting. I had dreams of doing things like this,
you know what I mean, uh, going on adventures like this. This,
these are this is the type of television I like.
You know, this is the type. These are the type
of movies I like. Action comedy. I mean, that's what
this this, This was sort of an action comedy episode. Yeah,

(01:22:49):
