Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey friends, this is DJ Daniel. The following episode contains
spoilers for the show OBI one. If you would like
to avoid these spoilers, they begin five minutes and fifteen
seconds after I'm done speaking. The spoiler conversation ends at
fifteen minutes when the theme song kicks. In a special note,
these timings do not include the ads place at the

(00:20):
beginning of the episodes. Those are placed by region, and
therefore I do not know how long they may be,
So to keep it simple, five minutes and fifteen seconds
after I'm done speaking is when the spoilers begin, and
fifteen minutes after I Am done speaking is when the
theme song begins. If you want to hear the conversation
spoilers at all, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Wait,

(00:41):
so how do we talk about this without any spoilers? Okay,
so you got to be in Star Wars. That's really exciting,
ABI one. Okay, I got to be in an episode
of OBI one and you get to talk about let's
talk about seeing your name in the start with the
Star Wars background. Very exciting. It was very exciting, and um,

(01:03):
I'm not in person as myself, I can say I'm
a creature. Okay, that's not really a spoiler, and we
can talk about how that was really cool because the
way the creatures designed it was a puppet UM with
a person inside and then two puppeteers using UM. It
had like seventy servos in its head and there's two

(01:25):
different puppeteers using like RC remotes that are moving. All
the features of the seventy servos in its faces are
gears that operate the puppet. Yeah, they're like little motors
and UM and and this, you know, the different tents,
the tentacles and the eyebrows and you know, UM and
UM and then and then the way it's rigged is

(01:46):
that I wear this headpiece I posted on in my
Instagram if you're curious what it looks like. And when
I talk UM, the jaw moves. And so that was
what was so cool about UM getting to do it.
It wasn't you know, I would have I would have
flipped out if it was just a voiceover assignment. UM,
But I got to be on set. You're you had
the character, had your mannerisms in your face. Even though

(02:11):
it did it looked nothing like you, you know what
I mean, But it still felt like you you know
what I mean? And that's what that's what makes that
so cool, you know, because it's like you're acting. You're
acting with somebody else's face kind of, but your face

(02:32):
still shines through through it, you know what I mean?
And your and because your voice is different, Like there's
so many things that were really spectacular about this for me. One,
your voice is different, but you're still telling the story
so well. You play us a pro Empire character. But
that's a bit of a spoiler, isn't it, Joel, Not

(02:54):
really the line of it. We got a lot of
tweets asking how does Donald feel? People were really worried
about the friendship. Yes, well I know I saw that
on my Instagram too, because I don't read Twitter anymore.
But Donald, um all our fans because they know this
is your fantasy. I saw fun The funniest version of
it was um someone wrote, did you and Donald accidentally

(03:16):
mix up your whiteboards? I hope I'm directing something real good,
real soon. I do want to say that Donald um
and and and he can he can make jokes about
hating it, but he has been and I was nervous
to tell him that I got I got the part.

(03:39):
But of course, but he as as every good best
friend should be, was nothing ever more than holy shit,
I'm so excited for you. Oh. I cried for like
a day. Don't get it twisted, all right, I was wrong.
I cried. I cried for a day. But then my
fucking once, my ego let it go. I was like, dude,

(04:01):
Zach has an opportunity to do something that's so fucking cool,
and you let me finish. Dude, let me finish. And
you know he's gonna fricking kill it. And he's gonna
and you know he's gonna freaking kill it, you know,
And dude, you you were amazing. Man, it was really
it was a It was um refreshing to say, not

(04:23):
only for that, but you brought my kids back to
Star Wars. Also, my kids, you know, they adore you
and they love you tremendously, and I shoved Star Wars
down their throats so hard that they were turned off
by it to the point where they won't watch Marvel.
If you could be in a Marvel movie next, that
would be great. First of all, because they don't like,

(04:45):
Thank you, they don't like they don't like uh, Star
Wars anymore. Or they didn't like Star Wars anymore, and
they won't watch Marvel because I obsess over it too much. Right,
And so when you so Cheaper Boy Doesn't came out
and my kids went to the premiere, and you are
now like an a lister in our house. You're not

(05:06):
you know, you are like freaking to you know how
Dindell and Harrison Ford was to me. You're that to
my children right now. And so I've seen Cheaper by
the Doesn't quite a few times, and you are the
king of sauce. I get you know what I mean,
I get all of that, right. And so Star Wars
comes out, and I haven't told anybody about this at all.

(05:30):
Obi Wan comesn't told anyone either, because I'm so afraid
of uh, you know obviously on the podcast, these guys
knew forever and uh we were being a little bit
cheeky about saying, ohbi obi Wan looks really good, but
we would have said that anyway because Donald and you know,
I'm a freak about it and you know well about it,
and so we had to keep it under wraps because

(05:51):
you know, it was supposed to be a surprise, top
secret thing, but we've known about it since before you
shot it, I was doing it actually simultaneously with Cheaper
by the Does, And we're gonna talk about a little
bit more in depth. So if you don't want to
know anything about Obi wan h, if you haven't watched
any of it, I guess step ahead before you go on.
Spoiler alert, spoiler alert or spoiler alert alert. Okay, So, um,

(06:21):
so that's so fucking cool. I'm sorry, dude, that's the
coolest shit ever. When you're done with this, let me
finish my story too. Go ahead. Oh it's sorry, I
don't story but anyway, Um, like the Mandalorian, a lot
of this stuff is shot on that this thing called
the Volume, which is the state of the art stage
where it's not green screen, it's it's live projected, you know,
four K resolution. And so when you're in this thing

(06:42):
called the Volume, it's all really there, all that stuff
with the in the fish in that wacky market where
Laya escapes and it's you know, in the in the
it's sort of futuristic marketplace where they have the chase
scene in episode two, that's like a small only a
few set pieces. Everything you're seeing is the is a
volume screen. Wow, so it's just insane technology, even her

(07:05):
jumping on across the roof and all of that. I'm saying,
anything like they're interacting with is a set piece, like
a roof would be a set piece, but like anything
beyond it, like where a green screen would be, is
projected live. So when you're on, when you're in the volume,
I've never been, but Deborah said, you've got to come
check it out. It's it's the most insane thing you've
ever seen. Because what's crazy is it's happening. It's live.

(07:26):
Like you're just saying, they're looking at it, and she
could be like, oh, those two extras deep in the background,
can you delete them? And the guy at the computers
like do do dude, and then they're gone, and it's like,
you know, we should probably add like a spaceship landing
on that building, and like do do do doo doo.
All of a sudden, there's a spaceship landing on that
building and you're watching you dude, that's so cool. It's
so cool. And I believe Mandalorian was the first big

(07:48):
show to develop this, but now it's becoming a new
if you can afford it, the new way to do futuristic, well,
any sort of anything, anything with a budget, anything with
a budget that can afford it. But anyway, so the
point is that my scenes, though, um we're all lighting
and everything, my my scenes were actually shot out in

(08:10):
the desert, on this ranch ranch desert thing about. She
had the most practical part in the right and it
was so hot. I felt so bad for the gentleman
in the suit because it was really hot, and they
had like things going inside the suit to help him
be cool, like cool air being pumped in. But um,
but it looks so everything you're seeing on the on

(08:33):
on my scenes were shot on location and and and
I remember turning to Deborah and there's just that expansive,
incredible view and I go, you know, people are gonna
think this is fake, right, the people are gonna think
this is the volume. She's like, I know, we spend
all this time and money and effort bringing this enormous
crew out here, and they're gonna think it's fake because
it looked so beautiful. But it was just so cool

(08:55):
and I had to be so top secret about it.
But they wouldn't even let me to take my sides,
Like sides are the things, Um, an actor gets on
the day, they're like a small script of just what
you're what you're saying that day, and like, never in
my life has a PA come up to me and like, hey,
we have to take those I was like, hey, I
was like, I came have these other superir She's like, no,
you know that's that's that's that's the crazy thing though,

(09:18):
when would you ever take sides home as a super No, No,
of course not. That ship goes in the trash when
you're done anyway, after her days of work. Yeah, man,
it's really interesting. Man. Like I was saying, my kids
now are back on Star Wars because cheaper by the doesn't.
It is such a huge success in my household. All
I had to say was Uncle Zach's and Star Wars

(09:41):
this morning. That is a good sentence though, to say
to you, my godchildren, right, and they go he is,
and my son then goes because I forced them to
watch episode one and they were like, oh god, that's
your nightmare. Yeah, at least you got him on basketball, dude,
at least you got that, no doubt. He's he's totally

(10:02):
playing basketball. And so he goes to me after he
hears that he goes, maybe I should watch episode two
first good And I was like a word yeah, And
I was like, all right, let's put an episode two. Now.
I could watch this ship all day, It's me, you
know what I mean. I could watch the Great, I
could watch the Bad, I could watch the so so

(10:23):
it doesn't matter to me. It's Star Wars. I'm in right.
He sits down and he starts watching. Now he's laughing
through the ship too, you know what I mean. So
now he's getting the jokes that, uh, I don't want
to spoil anything. We're still in the spoiler mode. You
can talk? Are we still in the spoiler mode? Okay? Cool?
All right. So he's saying he's laughing at the ship.
The Ley is saying, So now I'm like, wow, this

(10:45):
little girl's really make it. So now the impact after
watching it the second time that this little girl has
on my son is like, oh, snap, she's she works
perfectly for this, right, you know what I mean? And
so uh and so and so now every speech Ce has,
I'm listening to what she's saying instead of listening to

(11:06):
what you know, Obi wan and and and what everybody
else is saying. And so that's scene where he talks
about how you know, you know, you remind me of someone.
It hits home all of a sudden. Now it's like, oh,
it's gut wrenching, you know what I mean. It's right anyway,
So let me finish. Okay, so let me finish. So

(11:26):
we get through that episode, and we watched the next episode,
which has you in it, and he's freaking over well, actually,
he goes away. I put on the next episode. I say,
this is the part Uncle Zach's, and he comes running in.
They sit down and watch the rest of the episode

(11:47):
from that moment on right right, and so uh then anyway,
so this morning I'm sleeping, he comes down. He wakes
up early every morning. I walk into we call it
the Cool Room. It's the room we have the video
games where we have the arcade. It's like the arcade, right.
It started off as the kid's room and he named
it the cool room as a kid. So I walk

(12:08):
into the room and he's in there watching Obi Wan
Kenobi and it's your part. He goes, this is one
of my favorite shows. Dad. Yes I brought them back, Yes,
I brought them backing zib he came through all I
want now I'm just praying for an action figure, that's

(12:30):
all I all I want, or a Lego set. Well
you have, you have the opportunity to come thinks gonna
get a figure. I'm not dead, so i'man I could
come back in. And that was a freaking awesome scene too.
If you're listening to this, please write in. Um uh
you guys better bring back Frek. He was amazing. Anyway,

(12:52):
I gotta think Deborah Chow and Joel is wearing a
directed by Deborah Chow t shirt which is very cute. Um,
it's just incredible the amount of pressure that was on
her shoulders. She directed every single one of these episodes.
She should get a movie. Man, she should get a movie. Oh,
I'm sure she'll get They should do an over. I mean,
I don't know how this ends, so I don't want to,
you know, if this is it, if this is a

(13:13):
limited series, I don't want to. But this would be
a dope movie. Also, all I can say is, uh,
you know, most of these shows, as you know, several
directors do them, and she did them all. And she's
just the amount of pressure on this woman's shoulders. And
she was always cool and always calm, and you know,

(13:35):
she's just the number one stream show ever in Disney
Plus history. Yeah ever, Yeah, And she had all the
pressure of the fans desires and the studio's desires and
Ewan's desires and everyone all down on her shoulders and
every doing every single episode. So she's a pretty incredible
person and filmmaker, and I want to give her a

(13:57):
shout out all right before we before we in the
spoiler section, there is one thing that we have to
talk about. We can't talk about the positive without talking
about the little bit of negative. First of all, all
of these people out there that are bullying or talking
shit about young Moses. You can eat a capital d

(14:19):
I c K or your racist comments, dude. Uh, it's
one thing to not like a performance, but to go
in on her because of the color her skin. It's
some bullshit, dude, And or whatever the fuck you identify
as you can eat and you can that's so that's horrible.

(14:40):
Then this also happened to the the the Asian woman
who was the star of the horrible aspect of the
fan base that that uh, that that of some of
the fan base obviously that that happens. It's it's really disheartening,
but it makes it. I mean, come on, this is
supposed to be somebody's big break, and your idea a
fandom is unnecessary and not wanted and not needed. So

(15:05):
please keep that to yourself. If ever you feel like
the way I'm gonna express how I feel about somebody's
performances to go directly at their heart and feelings or
at their race. You are not a fan. You are
a fucking piece of shit. That's how I go ahead

(15:26):
like that. There good here here here, WU tank forever
I think we should. I fell. That's the end of
the boiler section down. You'll figure out the time there.
And now let's get into the show. Donal count us
in five six seven eight about show we made about
a bunch of doc nurses and stories. So gata around here,

(15:57):
yeata around here for you. Well, the first thing we
have to say is Judy Rays. Judy Rays, Judy Rays
in this episode. Holy, I mean, I just think that
Judy Ray is that she's just her real of actors

(16:19):
should just be this scene. Yes, she's just so talented,
and I'm excited it will have already happened when you
hear this. But we are all going down to Austin
and we're all going to reunite and I'm so excited, um,
Donald to have fun with you. Bill is coming, um uh,
Donald Knight and Sarah we're planning on going down a

(16:40):
night early just to have some some fun together. And
Bill just texted me that he's going to join us
a day early. Um. And then the whole cast, the
whole lead, all the leads except for Ken Um, Um
understandably are are going down to do this panel and
we're all going to have dinner Saturday night together. Which
is I mean, we have a dinner together probably? I

(17:02):
mean ever know, well, yeah, remember after we lost, well
remember a few times, you know, every time we lost
an Awards show, we would go to dinner right after
we lost. I remember that was the one thing that
I was like, I appreciate Bill for this so much.
We'd lose and he'd be like, you are ready to go?

(17:22):
We feel like yeah, it's like we're not, we're not
sitting here. Well. I couldn't help but think that Judy
should have been nominated for her performance in this episode.
Absolutely see it's just so heartbreaking at the end. And um,
and but we'll get there. Um. So Laverne. If you
recall this is a to be continued episode, this is
what's the name of it, Joel. This episode Goye My Long,

(17:45):
Goodbye and Um, written by Dave Tennant and directed by
Victor Nella Junior. Um. Laverne is in a coma from
her car accident and UM, and everybody is dealing Yeah,
go ahead, we're just saying to say. Everybody's dealing with
the grief of it in their own different way. Right.

(18:06):
Elliot's fucking like crazy. Elliot just decided to fuck like crazy. Yeah,
that's her. That's her go to and we know that
she's doing it by the number of scratches on Keith's back, right,
And she gets to the cross mark comes five? Yeah,

(18:26):
what do they call that? When you're doing the it's
the cross mark? I thought, right, No, what do they
call that thing? When you do one, two, three, four?
And then you put a hash to the five marks? Hash? Hash?
I keep wanting to say hash, but not hashtag comes
up in Google is accurate? Oh, hashtag does tally marks?

(18:49):
Tally marks? Okay, there you go. Okay, so we put
so she's she's had sex with them five times, so
she's put she puts the fifth tally mark on, but
then wants to go again. Then yeah, then wants to
go again. Remember the Penis doctors, Doctor Penis, he told
us that that that's called the refractory period. How I
believe how quickly the man can go again? Keith has

(19:09):
a very low refractory period. Yes, it is, it is,
it is. One would say lightning quick. I would say
it's seconds, because she says, let's go again, and Kee's
ready and he yes, I do not have. I do
not have that. It's quick, but it's not that quick. Well,
you're also forty eight. When I was young, it wasn't

(19:32):
that quick. Yeah, I was young. My refractory period wasn't
that quick either. I think only in the movies and
TV it's that quick, right, especially on this, But I
don't know. There's probably someone listening who's like, no, my
refractory period is like five seconds, man. And that person

(19:52):
has a lot of kids. Yeah, that person has a
lot of kids. So um JD and Turk have decided
to do something they've always want to do, which is
mailbox baseball at Kelso's house. Yes, and Kelso has reinforced
his mailbox with titanium because Enid, what did she do?

(20:15):
She hit it with the RV too many times driving.
I don't think though she had dementia. Sorry, I'm not
laughing at dementia. I'm laughing at the fact that Enid
with dementia is driving the RV. I don't think she
should be. No, I don't think that's a good idea.
But anyway, you you get kicked off. Now you're stunt man.

(20:37):
I went back and froze. Frame doesn't look anything like you.
Um Now, Now, of course, when you're watching something in
normal speed, you would never notice this. Wow, But I
was curious by the way the fellow, whoever he is,
I'm sorry, I don't have your name, he did take
a very nice uh fall off a scooter. But um,
but I but I saw that it was clearly not you. Well,

(20:58):
you know there's the most infamous not the person stunt
man from Beverly Hills Cop when Eddie Murphy throws the
guy over the table. The stunt man looks like Richard Pryor,
and at least the dude had a bald head in
this one. Yeah, Anie in a mustache. I don't know
if it was fake or not. Wait and Beverly and
Beverly Hills cop. No in this one, Oh no, they

(21:19):
really did the Beverly Hills cop maneuver. Well, just put
a mustache on the guy. No, if you did, I
have a much I didn't have a mustache at this
point this episode. You have a mustache? Really, I'm not.
I only knew. I only knew because I went back
and looked at it. I was like, the guy looks
nothing like him. But I froze frame and it was like, Wow,
at least they put the mustache on him. Wow. Do

(21:40):
you remember me rocking a mustache all the time? I
just remember that sometimes you would and sometimes you wouldn't,
and when we when we needed to highlight them all,
we would shake it off. Right, you didn't shake the mustache.
I thought that was Lonnie playing the guy who gets
bad news, didn't you? I did, But then I realized
it was a Lonnie look alike. Yes, because Bill was

(22:02):
pretty good about not repeating characters ever. Um, I think
there's like a handful of examples. Maybe, but I was like,
why is Lonnie getting the bad news from the bad
news robot? Now the bad news robot is pretty funny.
It's made of a garbage I don't know what it's
made of, but that's a freaking very funny soap opera

(22:24):
fantasy of that with the robot yeah the kid, wait,
don't get it first. That starts with the guard for
the first of all, it's the bad news robot. It
comes in and it's a garbage can with like a
scooter handabar. Johnny almost have made this thing. It's well, okay, right,
and it comes in to give bad news, to give

(22:47):
bad news, and it gives a kid the news that
he has cancer, and then it dies. No. Wait, and
then it says, press the button for a pep talk,
or press the button if you give up. Yeah, And
the kid presses the button for the pep talk, and
the robots you have pressed the button for a pep talk.
You are going. You are strong, you are And then

(23:10):
he starts smoking because because it breaks him. And then
the robot dies, and then we cut to the robots
now in the bed right, and and I had to
give his robot kids two little smaller robots bad news.
And then one takes out a laser and blasts you

(23:32):
and shoots me. Yeah, and then the other one, the
other one comes through and that was very funny. That
was yeah, that was very very ston very stonery hilarious. Yeah,
Jordan and Cox are having the baby. They don't want

(23:53):
anyone to know about it. She didn't even tell him, right.
I like that he puts on a Rutger's T shirt
to represent Jerseys. But I did. I got Rutgers. I
don't know. I know he went to ny Uh. I
think it went to Syracuse too, I'm not sure. I
don't know. But I got in the Rutgers I remember, dude.
I remember getting into Rutgers. And this the only college

(24:15):
that I got into. And I only got in because
my mom went to Rutgers. This is such a bad story,
but my mom went to Rutgers and her her college professor,
her drama professor, was Avery Brooks. Right, And so anyway,
I go out for Rutgers. My grades in the high
school are shit. I didn't go to high school. I
was a horrible I mean high school. I cut a

(24:38):
lot and I have a lot of teachers there that
helped push me through, and I appreciate you all, but um,
in all honesty, I wasn't a good student. And so
my mom's dream was for me to go to Rutgers.
I went, and I did the audition and I got in,
and I remember my guidance counselor's face, mister Nap, when
I told him, Oh, I'm not going to go to college.

(24:59):
My dream was to go to LA and make it
as an actor. And I remember his face when I
said that shit. He was like, oh, Donald, don't you
oh man like? And I was like nah. He was
like my My guidance counselor, who was also my history teacher,
couldn't believe that I got into college. Also, so when
I saw Johnny See with that Rutgers shirt hunt, I

(25:19):
was like, holy shit, this is full circle. Man. I
remember this moment. I remember the moment when I told
him and my mom that not that should ain't happening.
Asked Johnny when we see him, why why he decided
to give Rutgers a shout out. He must have some
connection to it. There has to be a Jersey pride,
Jersey Pride Rutgers represent. My dad taught law at Rutgers,

(25:40):
and he was very loyal, very loyal to UH to
their football team. He would actually go to the games,
even though I don't even know if Rutgers was any
good ever, Oh gosh, yeah, they were absolutely At one
point they won an into or were in the NC
double a game, okay, championship, how little line though, right,
I think they played for I think they played for.
My stepfather was a professor there too. Uh yeah, let's

(26:04):
take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words.
By the way, did you notice that, um it's a
small little easter egg, but when Kelsel comes out of
his house after you on the grounds, he's holding a
plum Ox mug, which is the from yeah, yeah, I

(26:25):
like the little easter egg that he's still rocking a
plum Ox mug. Um. So Carr, Cox and Jordan don't
want anyone to know about there that they're having the
C section, and um, they've asked JD for a favor,
but he's so worked up in his head about trying
to be the godfather and and the fact that he's

(26:47):
going to be the only one who knows the secret
that he doesn't hear what Cox is one request is
and um, and so he misses it. But he's like,
don't But he's like, should I ask again? No? No No, no,
And then he'll think he trust you. So he has
a plan too, well, he was. He remembers he was
still looking at Cox while he's daydreaming. He just wasn't listening.

(27:12):
So he goes he has a plan to go to
some doctor, an audiologist. I guess, right, who can read
the lips here? Right? He tries to recreate you remembering, Yeah,
I do a Cox impression, and then I try and
recreate which is which is bizarre that Jad has such

(27:35):
a memory that he can remember Cox is what Cox's
lips were doing. And then the audiologist says, yes, he
wants you to go buy some more film for his camera.
And that makes perfect sense because there's a baby on
the way, so right, So Jad believes that and goes
to good and for your kids out there. You used
to put film in a camera. Now what camera used

(27:58):
to be separate from your eye phone? It used to
be a whole another apparatus actually. So Elliot's the first
person to go say goodbye to Laverne. Uh she just
in case, uh something bad happens before the the cat
scan comes back. Elliot's the first person to go in

(28:19):
and she you know, it's a wonderful job. Everybody who
went into the room to say goodbye to nurse Roberts,
that's such a wonderful job, including you. You were you were,
you were very good in your scene. Thank you very much.
But when Elliott goes, this is what Laverne daughter, Yeah,

(28:40):
this is Laverne. I want to thank you for all
the things that you taught me, Like when why do
people come out of the rain? They smell like wet dog?
And then Elliott gets caught up in Now Elliot's moved
by that, and she goes, they do they really do

(29:04):
we do? Or did she say we do? And then
there's another moment and she goes, we really do? It
was great. It was a very funny moment, very hard.
But also we learned that when uh, we learned that
when uh, when Carl is being followed around by this ghost,

(29:27):
that also Cox is followed around by a ghost as well.
He's followed around by the ghost of Nicole Sullivan's character. Yes,
and I read on scrubs Wiki that it was originally
supposed to be bred in Frasier Um, but he was unavailable,
and so they asked Nicole Sullivan. Oh wow, well scrubs
WICKI trivia there for you. I think this rumor they

(29:48):
don't know how did they know? It may have been
something Sometimes scrubs Wiki, I think gets stuff off the
DVD commentaries. Um we did um uh so that I
have been something Bill said uh in he commentary something um.
Todd says, if doing you right now, gosh, that's the
best one. When the trio is in there, When that

(30:10):
trio is in there, that is the best one. Todd's
Todd's sweet words of of of of Do you want
to know what he says of pep talk is if
he goes, you know, he goes, you were the woman
I'd never do because you're a big girl. But if
doing you right now would save your life? What is that?

(30:32):
What do you say? I would right? Doing you right
now could help? Right? I would like like so sincere
I would? Um so. We also learned the janitor was
the lifeguard at LaVerne's pool party party. Yea, even though
he's not a strong swimmer, right, and he made abundant

(30:55):
but she somehow made abundantly clear. Yes. And then he
and he says something that that really is twisted. If
you see your dog up there, please tell him I'm
sorry sorry, which means that LaVerne's dog was killed at
her at one of her no in the pool when

(31:16):
the janitor was supposed to be a lifeguard. Yes, but
he couldn't do but he couldn't say the dog because
he couldn't swea I'm sorry, oh man, Okay, so then
he then the janet reveals that he converted to the
Norse religion, right because he thinks that LaVerne's going to Valhalla. Yes, okay,

(31:41):
we got to go back. Also, what Carla? Also, Carla
isn't such denial, but she also reveals that there was
a mister Wang in the hospital who went into a
coma in nineteen eighty four and just woke up. Yeah,
but when he woke up, he moonwalking into Michael Jackson
outfit and says, where's the beef? I love that he

(32:10):
had all that in his room for for for several years. Yeah,
look he's moonwalking in in was it the Michael Jackson. Yeah,
he's in the red Michael Jackson out fit. Thriller from
from Thriller. It's the Thriller or it was thriller. It
was thriller because Billy Jean is black. And then um
and then he and then he got the ruby scube.

(32:32):
And then he says Where's the beef? For those of
you who are too young. That was a famous Wendy
where this old woman would would open up her burger
button from different from various burger UH fast food place
and she became famous all around. It was like a
very very famous, very famous campaign. And she or the

(32:52):
burger meat was too small, and she go, where's the beef?
Where's the beef? Yeah? I do remember. The woman was
like nine years old. I had a T I had that.
I had one of those T shirts. You didn't have
it where's the Beef T shirt? When you had a
Where's the Beef? T shirt? Absolutely? I had Simpson. I dude,
I had a collection of Simpsons T shirts. And I

(33:13):
had never watched the Simpsons. But Bart Simpson was so
popular that fucking I had his face play. You were
a poser, dude. I said this many times in high school. Dude,
I walked around dressed as Bell bib de Vot. I
had hammer pants on. I was. But no, but you
at least loved those things. You're saying. You were a
Bart Simpson T shirt and didn't watch the Simpsons. Oh no,
I love Bart Simpson, but I didn't watch the Simpsons.

(33:35):
Because I didn't watch I love Bart Simpson because when
you would go to the movies and they would have
that those little shorts before the movies and it would
be the Simpson cartoon and that's how I knew who
they were. But as far as I remember, it starting
on the Tray Show as well. Yeah, but if you
went to the movies, like a couple of movies I
went to, there was like one where the Simpsons go

(33:56):
to uh therapist and they're all sitting on a therapist
chair and by the end of it, uh, Homer's choking
the shit out of Bart. But right, anyway, I had.
My favorite shirt was one where Bart a rasta man
and he's holding a blunt. Oh, I see, that would
made you look cool with your friends. This is right.
This is in high school too, So I got a

(34:17):
lot of like yearbook pictures with me wearing that shirt.
Really only only in a Manhattan school. Could only at
the professional children's school? Was that? Possibly at the professional
Children's School Manhattan? Can you take your class picture with
Bart as a roster man with a joints? Well, it
wasn't a class picture. It was like me on a
freaking uh. It was like a field day and where

(34:39):
the whole school was on a field. You know, it
was like in Central Park. We let's digress from and
how did you feel about the Miami Heat Celtics game.
I know how you felt. You felt it was over
after the first five minutes. I was trying to I
was tiring to convince donaland I was watching. So I
watched the first five minutes when they where they were
up by like ten, and I go, it's over. I

(35:02):
can't watch anymore. It's over. It's over. The lead's too big,
there's not enough, there's no it was. It was Guel
It was there really like the first two minutes of
the game, Dude, that game was. It's such a good
game until the last Listen, I'm gonna say one thing
and I'll probably get heat for it, no pun intended, right,

(35:25):
But he my dude, but he is my favorite player
in the NBA. But the decision he made at the
end of the game to pull that three, I'm sure
he's tired, and I know Al Horford is a beast
of a defender, but he had Al Horford backing up
on his heels and Jimmy Butler decided to pull almost

(35:49):
from the logo A three and you disagree with the decision.
I don't think that was the right decision. I thought
he should have put it in Al Horford's and tried
to get the M one at least, Dald do you
did you watch the game? Do you agree with Donald's assessment?
I mean, I definitely agree with Donald's assessment. Um, I

(36:10):
did not watch the game. I watched the highlights. I'm
a big Jimmy Butts fan. I love Jimmy Buckets, but
it's like the Michael Jordan quote, you're past the ball
to make that shot like forty times. You'll miss it
thirty times, but it's not going to stop you from trying. Right,
He missed it on the biggest stage to go to
the finals, though they would, Yeah, they would if he
made it, they go to the finals. Yeah, it's a

(36:32):
rat and he's freaking sports top ten for the year,
oh my for the for the year. It's freaking Kawhi Leonard.
When he did it to Joel and beating Jimmy Bucket
with the bounds, with the bounce, you know what I mean? Yeah, totally,
I'm gonna pose back. This went beyond anyway you asked
you asked, No. I wanted for those sports lovers out

(36:52):
there who listen, I wanted to give you your your
your little little moment to talk about it. I tried.
I want you to know I tried. I gave it
a solid when the score, I'm happy for the Celtics.
When the Celtics were had seventeen points. Uh, I don't
think it ever got that big or ten points up whatever.

(37:13):
I was like, it's over, donaldon. But I was having
fun with all my friends being like this, I need this,
this is this is a big one, so stupid. All
right back, let's take a break. We're gonna say a
quick break and we'll be right back with some more
talk about the TV show Scrubs and we're bad. Yeah,

(37:46):
woo Tank forever, woo Tank forever. What you're trying to
get into a day of shoom. What you're trying to do, hey, speaking,
what you're trying to get into, Make sure you pace
tomorrow because I don't want you, Woozy. I can picture
you're getting on the plane. Oh you don't know, bro,
but you don't know. You ain't heard. I'm using this

(38:08):
trip to get off the marijuana. Okay, good, But you're
still I imagine going to have a mimosa or something
on the plane. Yeah, but I can't drink like I
used to be able to drink like that. You know.
That's why I'm telling you to pace, because you don't
need to tell me to pace. I'm already. I'm a
grown ass man. I know you still want You're gonna
get boozy. That's not fun for me. It's my point.

(38:31):
I don't like the feeling of the room spinning. I
don't like the feeling of I'm about to throw up.
So I'll have a drink and if that shit's too sweet,
I'm not gonna finish it. You honor me, listen. I
want to make sure that you don't mimosa out too
much on the plane. Yes, hope they die, and I
hope they burn in hell. What's that airplane? No? Sam Jackson?

(38:57):
Oh oh the snakes? No? Do you remember an airplane?
When they when they when they cut to the counterpoint segment,
and the guys like they bought their tickets, they knew
what they were getting into. I say, let him crash
um all right, as long as you promise not to

(39:19):
get woozy, because I got a nice dinner reservation for us.
Where are we eating? Is it me you, Sarah and Bill?
It's me you, Sarah and Bill and Ryan our friend
Ryan and right, Okay, we're gonna have fun. Just don't
get too woozy. I can't believe Sarah's coming. She never
does anything spontaneous. No, no disrespect to Sarah. But she's

(39:41):
sure sheptain. I'm sure she's sick of being in Canada. Well,
all I gotta tell us. I guarantee you. We've told
you on the podcast that, um, there's always a story
with Sarah, and I know that she's going to show
up and be like, you guys are not gonna believe
what happened. My COMMI citizenship is no longer. Yeah, I

(40:01):
guess the airport they had revoked my Canadians citizens my passport.
I didn't know it was expired. There's gonna be some
you never you will never not see Sarah with like
you're not gonna believe what happened today. It won't even
be yesterday. It'll be like today. I'm about then they're
about my passport and it falls through a great in

(40:22):
the floor. It's all. Sometimes it gets really action in
the adventury too, man like one time the car one time, Yeah,
one time it was a car was barreling down a
hill towards a picnic where Sarah and the kids were eating.

(40:46):
It was her car. She didn't put the brake on, right,
she didn't put the brake on, and so is it?
Was it her sister's husband or was it I don't know,
but anyway, somebody jumps in the car and you know,
the car's park, so the wheel is hard to turn
now and rips the wheel and the car spins out

(41:08):
and barely misses them. Yeah, this is a this is
a there's never there was, this is never dull moment
when when we story at lunch on our next segment,
on our next episode, we'll tell you what what Sarah's
assuming we're allowed to, We'll tell you what Sarah's drama
for the day was when we see her and she's
always had a breath for some reason. When she tell it,

(41:29):
and then listen, I'm so excited to see her. I
can't wait. I can't wait. We're gonna have fun. All right.
Back to the show. Um, So, we learned that Kelso
and Laverne had sex a bit. For a bit, he
goes to kiss her, which feels inappropriate. Um, But then

(41:53):
LaVerne's ghost tells Carlo like, I don't mind. We once
did it before, right before I was with mister Roberts. Roberts,
let me tell you something that man loves him some
brown sugar. Yeah, but remembered it fondly. It seemed like,
you know, the audience is a little bit like creeped
out at first, like why is Kelsel Kissinger? And then

(42:14):
you cut LaVerne's ghost revealing like it wasn't, as if
to imply like it was. It was, Oh, no, we
had a good Yeah, we had a good couple of
we had a good run. Yeah, we had a good
we had some good sessions. Yea. Unfortunately I couldn't get
past the racism and the misogyny. So then JD frantically

(42:37):
realizes that when Cox says did you go did you
do what I said? That the lip reading was very
off and it was will you go pick up my son? Yes,
So he frantically texts Lloyd, Wow. The fact that Lloyds
why did he choose Lloyd of all people? The fact
that Lloyd's go to I mean, I you know, ever
since Lloyd's reliable, well he's reliable on his with the job,

(43:01):
and he's reliable with the kid. It turns out to
I know, but he he yah, well he comes through. Yeah,
and we cut to Lloyd Um cranking speed metal? Is
that what it's called, Daniel speed metal? That is a
form of metal? Yeah, I think I think that's what
it was. I have to go back. I can't think

(43:27):
of a kind of music I like that kind of
what I can't think of. No disrespect to all the
wonderful artists who created it's just, you know, it's each
their own. I'm sure you don't like slow, sad, singer
songwriter music, but I just don't understand. No, no, no, no, no,

(43:49):
dann do you listen to any of that? At one point,
at one point, at one point, there's somebody that always
does this in that song, I get a good pig
squeal going, what's that called? What's that kind of music called?

(44:12):
I mean, it's it's metal. There's there's there's also that's
not metal. It's it's some type type of metal. There's
there's like guar is that gar? I'm trying to skip
to the point in the episode so I could hear
it again because I'm having trouble to remembering exactly what
the actual music part sounded like. But well, just cuts
a Lloyd. The kid loves it. The kid is jamming out.
The kid would not love that, no but really, I

(44:34):
think some kids anyway, what's cute in this in the
episode is that Cox's kid is jamming out to it.
He loves it. You're your kids love noise because they
make so much of it. So I like, look, I
love this song. My kids love this song even more
than I do now. And we don't play the we

(44:56):
don't play the dirty version, but U Drick Lamars be humble, Yeah, grates.
They want that song so loud because that bass kick
in that ship is so hard that I'm telling you,
kids love that that whatever that is, they love that,
and speed metal has that hardcore. I just don't know,

(45:23):
and I'm sure our listeners are. Some of our listeners know.
I feel like there's probably a more specific term than
speed metal for the drum behind it, ra ra And
then it goes into the can you imagine can you
imagine coming home from work? Can you imagine coming home
from working? You put on that speed metal track? I

(45:45):
love what is it? Daniel? Did you hear it, I
think of speed Metal. Okay, there you go, good call.
All right, Well I didn't we reference it in the show,
so we can't take credit for that. Then we learned
Laverne from the chart and the CT scan is officially

(46:07):
brain dead. And and when Cox says by Laverne, I'm
getting goose bumps on my thighs as I as I
say it, because it was a very powerful moment. And
then I have the flashback to the pilot when um,
which was which was a really beautiful thing that Bill did.
Um cutting to the very first episode when she's like,

(46:27):
will you just pronounced him? So I can go home?
And then she hasn't a pilot too, isn't it is that? Um? No,
I think she's got another one. Okay, um maybe, but
we remember when we had a Loma on she said
she just thought she she didn't know she was going
to come back. Yeah, um, oh wait no, no, I
know you're right, you know what, because didn't the Loma

(46:48):
say she had two lines? And then when the episode
airs she had one or something? You just him? Will
you just pronounced him? So I can go home? And
then I and then jad so Cheesley goes you can
finally go home and she said that, she said that, yeah,
and she says, that's so cheesy. Do you Okay, if
you had to choose out of the whole show what

(47:11):
your favorite joke was in the show, what would it be?
I have too, Well, my mom had a uterus, I
lived in it. I think I improved that. And I
thought that was pretty funny. That it's very jd and
very random. I take it back, I have three jokes
that I thought it was funny. I thought because of
my geeked him, are you on call tonight? Are you
going to fight Superman? Because you look like Lex Luthor

(47:34):
was one of the funniest jokes. And it's so fast
and nobody picks up on it, right. Yeah. And by
the way, just I read on scrubs WICKI that if
you recalled Johnny c was bald headed um in the
previous episode or or was it the last one or
one before? It was just random? Yeah, yeah, because and
it was never explained because they changed the order. So

(47:55):
this was the episode where he shaved his head, Well,
this was that. So what Johnny showed up with the
shaped head? No, in the very top of this episode,
he shaves his head, he goes, He goes, Yeah, there
must have been a reason behind it. I feel like why,
why did I wonder why? I don't think Bill would
have written that in Johnny Seen may me hap. No,
that's what I'm trying to say. Johnny came in with
a shaved head. Oh, and that's how that happened. That's

(48:19):
where this saw comes from. Oh was it from a
roll or do he just decide to shake his head?
I don't know, that's a Johnny question. But yeah, I
remember they had to they had to figure out wheyd
to write it in. But anyway, it's it's it's it's
explained in this episode. So that was one of my favorite.
The other favorite one, other favorite one is when all

(48:39):
you guys are in the room and you're doing the
Shadow Public poly shit. We recreate Pearl Harbor. You recreate
pretty impressively. It's very impressively with planes crashing and fucking Ted. Yeah,

(49:00):
can't help it. It brings in the alligator. It has
to bring in the alligator. Yeah, and I go, Ted,
there were no alligators in Pearl Harbor. Oh, And then
I go, we can also do the get We can
do the Gettysburg and the first active Missigan. I would
have loved to see them do the first active mission,
or at least a number that would have been amazing.

(49:21):
And then finally, my last one was the one you said,
but it's when Elliot's uterus starts glowing like ET made
me laugh. So yeah, it was like phoning home. It
was like that. It was like that the uterus phoned home.
Did somebody just have a baby? Elliot? Elliot can always
sends and it's just like eats his finger. I've said

(49:45):
that before in life and forgot that it was a
scrubs joke. No, but freaking eats chest lights up too.
It's not his heart like that's I forgot about that.
I always thought it was just his finger. No, no, no,
it's chest. That's what freaking turn on your heart lights about.
Don't turn on your hot light. I think let it
shine wherever you go. Don't you think Neil Diamond wrote

(50:07):
that before ET. No, he wrote that for ET. It's
an ET. No, look it up, it's about turn on
your hot light. Well, this is mind blowing if true,
let it shine wherever you go. You're telling me that
Neil Diamond's heart Light song is about eat. He was

(50:28):
so inspired by et that he wrote turn on Your
Hot Light, a reported twenty five thousand dollars in Lawyers
for MCA felt this song infringed upon the copyright of
the film What Let It Shine Wherever You Go? Wait
a second, they suit him, so yeah, succoring Rolling Stone

(50:52):
they did. Wait, ain't this dude wrote the song inspire
inspired by eat See and then they sued it. What
a dumb lawsuit turn on your Hot Light. Sorry you
can't talk about her alien that way, but a stupid lawsuit. Um,

(51:15):
all right, shoutout puppet theater. Elliot's uterus is glowing. My
mom had a uterus, I lived in it. Um. And
then Jad finally gets to be godfather, and then then
he gets to name the baby's name is Jennifer Dillon,
and that was that was the best squeal ever in
the history of squeals. So thrilled, He's so thrilled. Um.

(51:42):
And then, of course, as we mentioned at the top,
it's just beautiful. And I cued up thirty seconds of
the song because it's a beautiful song by Keene, which
is a band that's disappeared. And I just used to love,
I still love. I woke alone. It's to plus yo.

(52:04):
You know what my song is? Oh Sep, where have
you gone? Fire? Yeah? You know why it's fired. It's
fired because it was it dude that that band was
so dope. They had so many dope songs. Man. Yeah,
if you don't know, Keen, go back and listen to

(52:25):
keene that band. We need more from you, Keeneen, come back.
Let's get back together. I don't know what happened. I
had a great time backstage with y'all. Keen. If your
manager's listening, I please get back together. Do you remember
that time we hung out backstage with them at that
and they freaking when they tore down the house with
and if we have a man, and why don't we go?

(52:49):
The lead singer had the sickest voice. And do you
remember when they came and ate lunch at scrubs? No, yeah, dude,
they came to the whole, came to visit and sat
down and we ate lunch with them, This British band, dude.
And that's how and then me you raiden U Bill

(53:10):
was Bill with us when we went I think he was.
But we went to the freaking see that they met
that in New York. I told the story on here. Anyway,
I love them, and if anyone listening knows them, please
tell them to get back together. They're so talented. Um.
But anyway, I digress. That beautiful song um that's titled

(53:31):
a bad Dream if you want to listen to it,
I'm only allowed to play a little bit. Um is
underscores Judy's beautiful Goodbye to Laverne that I always see
people mentioning that's one of the most moving moments in
Scrubs Judy's Goodbye to Laverne. If anyone's ever lost someone

(53:52):
and and and had to say goodbye, is is I
have too many times? I H. It's just really so
elegantly done and so beautifully acted and h and I
just think Judy is such a gifted artist Scrubs. Wicky
mentioned that you can see a tear falling out of
Aloma's eye. I remember, which I remember, which is just

(54:17):
so beautiful, because I mean, the actress Aloma right was
so moved that she cried from from Judy's monologue. Dude,
I remember, I remember watching it and seeing Aloma crying
and being like, oh shit, because we were right there

(54:39):
for when for one of the shots we're right there.
It's a continuous shot. When she turns around, the three
of us are standing there and Judy comes out and
I hugger and everything like that. But I remember during
in that take you could see the tear coming down
Aloma's face. That was a very powerful moment. It was
a really really not only was the scene acted, not

(55:02):
only was the scene acted well, she she was very
strategic on how she did it too. I don't know
if Judy worked on I don't know what it was instinct,
I don't know what it was. But to be able
to start a scene and keep it on a joking
side and trying to be funny the whole way through,

(55:24):
and then getting to a moment where you can't be
funny anymore because it hurts so much, and being able
to convey that through camera is very, very difficult. It's
a very very challenging exercise in any form of acting
to do that. To be happy happy, I'm gonna project happiness,
but really I'm hurting, and then the tears come through, because,

(55:46):
at least for an actor, at least for me, when
I'm set on crying, I'm gonna trying get to crying,
you know what. I mean she didn't do that. She
started off. She had to start the scene, you know,
being in denial and trying to make some jokes and
just really elegantly done and uh and beautifully directed by
Victor Nelly. Yeah, well done. What else do we want
to say? I think we did the show. We don't

(56:07):
have a guest today. Anything you want to add? Donald
phase On legendary member of the Screen Actors Guild. Um,
I like Obi Wan and it's not you like Obie
and it's not because you're my friend. Check out Obi one.
Checkout episode three. It's masterfully done. I can't wait for
episode four. I'm not gonna lie either. And I'm very

(56:30):
interested to see what happens next. And there's something wait, no,
don't and I'm me. I'm talking about Star wars Man
who Tank Forever. I am so excited to see what
happens next because there are things that they need to redo.
Are you gonna go see Top Gun? It made a
zillion dollars. My wife wants to see it so bad.

(56:52):
You know it's so good. You love the well Okay,
so let me ask you a question. It was good
to be very very good weekend thing. Can I speak
even not letting you spoke the whole fucking show, dudek Um,
did you see Top Gun when you were a young person? Yes? Okay?

(57:14):
Is it fan service like Spider Man's a very fan services?
They definitely. It makes many a callback there. The camera
loves to linger on the photo of a goose and
Maverick classman hands. It's uh, you get the whole that
opening montage on the ship deck where they're well, don't

(57:36):
don't make to Daniel, Um, delineate another spoiler. Um, no
spoilers here, but yes, there are lots of moments that
reference the original movie Carrie Brothers. But Carrie Brothers who
is a very big movie fan and sees everything. Um. Donald.
We hung out with them on Memorial Day and he
could not He was like their publicist. He could not

(57:57):
stop talking about how amazing it was. He said, definitely,
go seeing an imax if you if you have access
to one, and here in La he said, go to
Man's Chinese. It's it's like it's like a ride. He said,
Oh my god, I want to see it so bad?
Is it for kids? Can kids watch it? Oh? Yeah,
because kids couldn't watch that first one. They was fucking

(58:18):
In the first one, there is a very brief love scene,
so brief, like, yeah, I can't take my kids, can't
