Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's begin. Hey everybody, we are ten degrees
away from freezing in California. I don't know why it's
so cold in the sun is out and it's beautiful,
but but I've got like mittens on. Yeah, Like my
house is called because for the first time, the first time, right,
and it smells a little bit like because it's probably
killing all the flies in there something. That's what's happening

(00:23):
in my house. The heat is on. The heat is on.
It says it's fifty nine degrees, but that's bullshit. It's
really forty something. No, it's not forties, bro, but it's
it's this morning, it was forty seven degree. It's cold
for La man. This is not normal. But at least
the sun is out. It's beautiful out. It's warmer in

(00:44):
New York City right now it looks like a yeah,
it feels like a beautiful New York City fall day
in La La Land. I have something to show you,
Oh gods in the canyons that will never fade away.
Ballads in the barrooms that played by those who came before.
They say you've got a Vaughan and more so I

(01:08):
beg at every door. No one wants to hear that.
I mean, I do, but the audience doesn't. The audience
was a little upset about the ship we talked about that.
They were like enough with the Star Wars, someone like, um,
I saw one comment that was like, oh my god,
it's now an Andor and Scrubs podcast. I'm in, well,

(01:31):
I love that person. But to the people that were like,
can you just tell us when we had to fast
forward too so we can get to the Scrubs talking,
you can't eat a day. You know, I was thinking
about the subject of haters and and I was thinking
a lot about Taylor Swift because you know, when I
loved about Taylor Swift for the being the first human

(01:52):
being to take over every slot of the Top ten billboard.
That's crazy is that because she has the level of
fame she has, she also probably had the most haters
because just you know, per capita, that many people, and
I just I just love that with someone with that
many detractors said, I don't it doesn't matter. Look at

(02:13):
look at the numbers, look at look at I'm she
didn't say that. What she said was that hate hate, hate, hate, hate, right,
I'm just saying I love for someone I love for
someone who has um probably the most haters that she
has told you she gave you the formula. She gave
you the formula. Shake that shit off, Zach, Yeah, shake

(02:36):
it off. Well, listen, Joel, was it you who pointed
out someone pointed out to me there has never not
been a male artist in the top ten. Oh it
wasn't me. But that's a fascinating piece of absormation. Mon
Taylor for the women. Um, I'm just impressed with her.
And I liked the album a lot. Um you know,

(02:58):
I I do, I do. I gotta say, you know,
I like I like Taylor Swift and I love Taylor Swift.
And I'm not a huge fan of the album. Okay,
not every song is a bop, but there's like there's
two great singles and then there's some that are very moving,
I think, but you know, maybe that's the It's not
my favorite record of hers. And I'm not alone, Jam,

(03:22):
you know, I'm not alone in saying this, But I
do appreciate what she's done. I think this is I think,
just for music in general and for the you know,
her path is one of you know, she's a right
she came from being a writer and a little kid
who liked to write songs, and now she's captured all
ten spots on the top one, top ten spots on

(03:45):
the Side's amazing. I'm so impressed with her. And and
you know, it's like even Jack Antonoff, who produces her stuff,
I've made him a couple times, couldn't be a nicer person.
I saw that he was. He was getting a lot
of hate people like, oh my god, he's he's making
all these albums from all these women of sound the same,
which I don't know enough about to even comment on.
But I thought the production was really cool and unique.

(04:07):
And I don't know, I'm just like, I'm happy for
them because like they got, they got they got a
lot of like mixed reviews, I guess, I surmise mixed.
I think mixed mixed reviews with success is kind of
what you want, isn't it right. I'm just this is
this is coming off of your comment about like, oh,
some people were hating on us talking so much about
and yeah, and I know you're kidding, and it's like

(04:30):
a micro thing compared to what I'm talking about, but
in the larger scoop of things, I just kept I
just kept smiling for Taylor Swift this week because I
was just like, this girl, this woman has so many
detractors and obviously nine zillion fans. She's going on a
full stadium tour. But um but I was just I
was just impressed, Like, we're at her go. She's got everything.
No one has ever had every song in the top

(04:51):
ten before. That's incredible, that's amazing. And you know what
I say to Taylor, do or do not? There is
no try. You know that does sound like Frank Oz,
but it's actually Can I show you guys something that
I'm very proud of. Yes, please, I have a visual display.
Um um, so, my trailer and poster for my film

(05:16):
with Morgan Freeman and Florence pew Is are getting ready
to drop in December, and I'm going to give you
guys the first. Uh, this is the first. This is
the final print of the poster. Hung it on the
stand to show you it's big. Love it. I love it. Wow. Yeah,

(05:38):
this is eye catching. Is that cool? That's really cool.
That's really great. I'm so excited about it. You guys, Wow,
you should be cool. I can't wait. And uh, it's
only in theaters. Only in theaters. UM audience, please mark

(05:59):

Texas UM the twenty fourth of March, and then it
will be everywhere the following weekend three thirty one March
thirty first, So UM, please put in your calendar, les Go.

(06:24):
This is like one of the things I'm most proud
of that I've ever made, and and I'm just you know,
we had to pause because, you know, we waited to
come out of the spring because Florence had two big
movies come out, so we wanted to wait and not
have the marketplace be two crowded. And so now it's fine.
You know, which was which was a bomber? Is solely

(06:45):
because I wanted to share this with everyone. I'm so
proud of it. But now that like it's November, like
shit starting to gear up for like promoting March, and
it's exciting and like I literally had to sign off
like on the final this the final poster they sent
me to print, and they're like speak now or never,
and uh and it's it's done. I couldn't find I'm
like looking at looking for typos. I'm like looking at everything.

(07:08):
I love it. Anyway, that's the that's the poster and audience.
You're gonna see it very soon. I believe December is
when the trailer and uh and this poster will be
placed underous applause. Daniel, Daniel's not here, so I'll hit
the button for myself. But Daniel Edipos also, I love it.
I love it. I'm very proud of it, very exciting.

(07:30):
I love that you're putting yourself out there like that. Again, man,
that's always, that's always. It's always an adventurous feeling, you know,
to be I guess trepidacious right when you're out to discus,
you know what I mean. So like when you have
that in your when you have that in you and
you and you're not afraid to say, well, here I

(07:51):
am and this is me. Yeah, you know what I mean,
take it, take it or leave it. This is what
came out of me. This is me. And I really
feel very very proud of it. I know, I can't.
I don't know if I've ever told you that story.
Did I tell you that story about bonne Vera saying
to me, um justin Vernon saying to me, Um, that's
the song that came out of me for which I

(08:12):
was here. Did I tell that story? No? I don't
think so, audience. I'm sorry if I'm repeating it, so
I'll tell it quickly. But you know, he wrote a
song for which I was here, and and it was
incredible and I was so honored and um, and he
as genius as the song was, and I love the song,
it wasn't quite right for the for the moment that
I had placed the attempt song. And so I had

(08:33):
the audacity slash balls to be like, hey man, I
love it, it's incredible, Um, could you tweak it here? Here?
Here's why, because you know it doesn't work quite in
that moment. And here's why. And he was like, Zach,
I sat down and I watched your movie and I
was really moved by it. And I got up and like,
that's what came out of me, and like that's that's
what I That's what I have to offer because that's

(08:54):
that's what came out of me. So I think about
that a lot when I'm putting my own stuff out there.
I'm sure this is you know, something you can relate
to for putting your animation out there. It's like, hopefully
people love it. Maybe some people won't. But it's me,
it's it's it's it's what I have to say. It's
what came out of me and and uh and and
it's so pure in that it's me and um and

(09:15):
of course the genius work of of Florence Pugh and
Morgan Freeman and Molly Shannon and so many others. Um.
So I'm really I'm really proud of it. I think
it's something special. I hope it. Doll Phason, Yeah, we're
upset about that. Well, we're gonna we have big plans.
Speaking of which, I think our ads are already running,
because my agents sent me a picture and I said, oh,

(09:36):
is that an early uh cut you saw? And he goes, no,
that's on TV. What They're already out there, bro, No
are new T Mobile spots certainly by the time I, yeah,
we got some. Um, we had some new T Mobile
spots you guys that I think we are pretty funny.
And there's three new ones and um, I'm very excited.

(09:57):
I didn't think they'd be airing this quickly. I thought
it was const for the holidays, just in time for
the holidays. Had a lot of fun making these. We
cracked up like the old days. We laughed hard. And
a shout out to Brian Klugman, who's um, who's who's
been on the podcast. Remember he wrote that children's book
and he's sort of the don draper of this for

(10:18):
T Mobile, and he's just such a fan of ours
and such a supporter. Him and Eric Piney, Him and
Eric Piney and um and they and so and so
it was just kind of like Brian was kind of
like the Bill Lawrence character in the situation. And Donald
and I are just doing these ads and riffing and
he's adding more jokes and it's just like so fun.

(10:39):
I love I'll just reminded me the old days, dude.
I love laughing with you and being silly with you,
and and we get to do that. But hopefully we
get to do this again. And I'm not just talking
about the T mobile ads. Like you know, Joel said
that the emails came in or the was it emails
or was it a voicemails? We had asked for voicemails. Yeah,

(11:00):
the voicemails came in like gangbusters. I truthfully, I want
to hear each and every pitch. But I guess there's
way too many for that time. Will Jilbell will narrow
it down. But I just want to say, it's so
fun laughing with you, dude, and and making those spots.
And I hope the audience when you see them, there's
three new ones, they'll be they'll be rolling out and uh,
I don't know. Um, I guess they're already on the air,

(11:22):
which is surprising because we just shot them. But they're funny.
We just shot by girls stories about show. We made
about a bunch of dots, and nurses said stories. So

(11:44):
get around here, yatoo around here? All right? So this
was a this was a great episode. Really you liked it? No,
you didn't like it. I mean I giggled, But it's
not I think it's a beast side. I loved that
it was a B side. I love that there was

(12:04):
nothing really it was just nothing really that meaningful. Yeah,
you know it just you know, it's it's the content.
I love that. I love the theme of it. You know,
everybody's a hypocrite. The hypocrisy in a hospital is ridiculous,
you know what I mean, Like, how are you going
to tell me to take care of myself and you're
not taking care of yourself. And that's what we always do.
That's what the I do it with my kids all

(12:25):
the time, you know what I mean. So some you know,
I tell my kids you can't play video games, and
then I'm on the video game for fucking five hours
in a day when they're in school and shit like that,
you know, and I'm upset that they're playing for over
a half an hour. You know. It's it's you're trying
to save them from there they're in young minds. I fail.
It's but I fail it so you fail. It's so

(12:46):
much at so many things that sometimes just having a win,
even if you're not abiding by your own rules, just
that win is enough, you know. Um. And and that
really is what it that seems like what it's what's
going on in this episode is about that. Yeah, it's
of course it's about hypocrisy and um it's also about
growing up. Um. JD finally gets told by a lot

(13:08):
of people that he needs to grow up, which is true.
I mean, he does the most ludicrous thing that just
trying to bash the car windscreen windshield of the brand
new car that his brothers bought him. I didn't understand
that at all. It was so it was so disrespectful
to Dan. I mean, even if he thought Dan, you know,

(13:30):
my first instinct was Dan is shady, like to Dan
steal this car now, like Dan doesn't tell the truth,
you know, And I remembered this episode and then but okay,
so then we eventually learned that no, Dan really has
turned his life around, and he's got some money and
he's buying JD a car because j D. JD can't
go visit his son forty miles away, forty minutes away
to go m that's not going to be convenient. He
can't do that on a scooter, which he mentions is

(13:51):
the only thing he has. And Dan gets mum, what
appears to be a prious I think, and JD's first
instinct is to smash or attempt to smash the windshield.
I thought that was so I mean, just from an
outside perspective of I know it's a comedy, but like
what a dick. Yeah, he can't take it jealousy, it's
a bit. And then he says he literally says, I'm

(14:12):
supposed to be You're supposed to be the loser, not me.
I mean that is so fucking obnoxious. All right, we're
jumping so far. So I no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I won't come to it. I just I'm just saying
in the overall tone of the episode, I don't know.
I just thought this. This episode, They're all great, by
the way, was written by the very funny Debb before
him and directed by the man himself, Bill Lawrence and

(14:33):
a little trivia. This was a green episode during NBC's
Go Green Week, so I guess NBC at the time
had had an initiative to push people to go green,
and they I imagine they said to Bill, can you
please work something into the episode related to going green
for the environment. And that's why the whole Jender storyline
is about recycling and stuff like that. Well, we start

(14:54):
off the show. Jad's having a moment, you know, about
being about being your dad, and he's kind of geeked
about it, kind of nervous about it and takes the
wind out of his sales. And then we go into
the hospital and now for me, a scale is triggering.

(15:20):
I have issues with scales because you know, it's not
supposed to be how much you weigh. It's supposed to
be how you look and feel. That's how you determine
your happiness. Not a number right right, But in the
scheme of things for the for the episode, they put
a scale in the hospital for some reason. In hospital

(15:41):
they got some new fancy scale. Yeah, but they put
it right in the middle of the of the of
the fucking er. I see it and all the women
are freaking out because the scales in town. They're all
staring at it. Carl it right away is like I
could I could use five or six pounds, like right away,
That's the first thing she goes to because the scale

(16:03):
is in the room, and that's always what it is
like for me. I could have a six pack and
look great, but if the scale doesn't match the number
that I want to be, then there's something wrong. But
if you're training, though, it's funny because you know, the
weight doesn't really change that much. So if you're losing
body fat and gaining muscle, you know your weight is

(16:24):
gonna but you're also going to drop. You're also dropping
water weight too, so the more water you drink, the
more water It depends what your goal is. If you're
just trying to lose, if you're if you if you're
trying to lose fat, then you're gonna obviously your number
is gonna go down if you're doing it right. But
I find that when I'm trying to cut fat but
gain muscle, my weight doesn't. It doesn't go down at all.

(16:45):
All that happens is your waist gets smaller and the
muscles look bigger and the fat starts. By the way,
I had a really great moment that happened to me.
I have to do a humble brag. I saw the
directors from my new movie with Vanessa Hudgins, and I
really got in good shape for it because even even
though my character necessarily wasn't like supposed to be ripped
by any stretched imagination, Um, I was gonna be shirtless

(17:06):
a few times. And I'm like, I'm not gonna not
look good. Yeah, you don't want you didn't want the bagel,
and and the directors were like, dude, it makes we
finally got to the first shirtless. They're cutting it like
we get to the first shirt liste. It makes no
sense that your characters that ripped like he's he's a
middle school teacher in Brooklyn, like with you know, I'm like, well,
he could be a guy who trains, why not, Like yeah,

(17:27):
but he's sort of you know, he's a little bit dorky.
He's a little bit like there's even a joke about
you to come back and do reshoots. No, no, no,
they're just saying, they're just saying. I was like, I
was like, well, don't cut around it, bro I put
a lot of work in. No, there's no way to
cut around it. You're ripped. And I was like, I
can't tell if you're upset or but I don't really care,
thank you. Um, but I'm not you know, you know,

(17:53):
I'm not going to be in a movie with Vanessa
Hudgins and this and this woman, Evelyn Brochhoe's a beautiful
French actress, French kitty actress, Like I'm gonna look my best.
I'm sorry, guys, I'm not like, I'm not like Colin
Farrell and I'm gonna gain you know, these guys, you
gain fifty pounds to be more in character. And that's
not what's his name, Batman, Christian Christian Belle. He's the

(18:14):
ultimate guy who does that. That dude gets skinny fat
and Jason Siegel never cares. He's like, shirt off okay, great.
Jason Segel's like, you want to see my dick here?
Oh God him and Adam Adam divine both of them, Like,
here's my car. I don't want to show my car

(18:37):
in anything. I mean, would I guess I would if
it was the right thing. Would you? Yeah, I mean
I would, But I wouldn't, like, just let it standle there.
I'd get it going on all right. When I was
younger and came out, when OZ came out, and as
an actor powerful or TV show, would you be on OZ?

(18:58):
And the whole thing was all always as long as
I don't have to show my dick, Because there were
some people who had no business show and dick on
that show even though it's even though it's from work.
It became a novelty if you want to see some
dick turn on OZ, right, you know what I'm saying.
And some people would show their dick and would have
like tiny dick. Well, and it would be like, you

(19:20):
shouldn't have showed your dick because now everybody's gonna talk
about how tiny look. You can act like it's not
a big deal. Let's I don't care who you are
out there. You can act like it's not a big deal.
But when you look at yourself and you look down
at yourself, everybody's always like I wish I could be
bigger everybody, even the biggest person on the planet. All right,
am I going too far? Yeah? I went to see

(19:41):
the play I wanted to say, play in Broadway called
on Broadway called Take Me Out Where, which has lots
of You have to be okay with penises. Um seeing
this because there's just PENI there's seats. I got a
good seat, a great angle on all the penises. And
you know, it takes place the most part in the
locker room and in a shower room, and there's just

(20:02):
penises everywhere. It's the most penises I remember seeing penis. Yeah,
you see Jesse Williams. In fact, what happened was someone
snuck a camera and now they now they do the
pouch thing where you have to lock it in the
pouch and like like the stand up comedians do these days,
and you can't take your phone out until you leave
the theater, which is smart because what some fucking asshole
is taking pictures. But what's funny is they have two

(20:25):
security guards. I haven't told this story, right, No, we
be two episodes, but no, I know, but I don't remember.
I'm sorry, I don't remember what I sold. So there's
two security guards, right, and they're sitting at the front um,
you know, stage right and stage left of the of
the theater. And they're there to obviously make sure no
crazy people jump on stage and just grab Jesse Williams

(20:48):
penis or anybody's penis. Just hold on to it. But
I'm not letting go. Yeah, some crazy person just jumps
up and holds on for dear great would you feel
if somebody could just jump up and grab your penis
with I don't think anyone. I'd be like, holy shit,
that's a lot of penis. What happens. What happens is

(21:10):
a funny thing though, right, because you're in the audience
and these two guards. When you start to realize, if
you're an intelligent person, that when the guards stand up,
because at a certain point they they're they're all they're seated, right,
But when they stand up and start scanning, comes, oh,
there's about the penises they're about to come out because

(21:32):
because their job when the penises are out is to
scan the audience for anywhere, right, And it kind of
It kind of tips the show because you're like, oh,
this cock's coming out. They're standing and then the second
that the cocks go away, these big you know, bodyguards,
they slowly sit down, like all right, all right, everybody,

(21:55):
I got thirty minutes to like, I'll look for people
trying to photograph cocks again. It's actually an amazingly acted drama.
And there's of course humor in it. Um. Jesse Tyler
Ferguson and he's sort of the comic relief. And but
it's not a musical. It's not a musical. It's a drama.
It takes place. Um, it's about an openly gay baseball

(22:15):
player and how um and how other teammates react and um,
incredible acting and Jesse Williams is an incredible actor, Um,
I have to say. And it's seen among Gray's anatomy.
I had never really seen him because I never seen it.
He couldn't be a nicer guy. We hung out at
the Tony's and he's the sweetheart of a person. Any

(22:36):
basketball pretty well too. And he's got the most amazing eyes. Yeah,
anytime any time my brother got green eyes, all of
a sudden, everybody started acting crazy. Terrence Howard. God, look
at him. Eye. Man Jesse is very very handsome, and
I have seen his penis. So but anyway, it's actually playing.

(23:01):
So go suit, kick me out if you don't be
afraid of the penises. Okay, but I'm gonna give you
a little spoiler. Um. When those guards stand up, cocks
are about to fly, so get fly. They don't fly,
They jiggle. They bounced. They walk. If you if you're
cocks out and you're walking, okay, So it's it's not
they're not bouncing it. It's not performance. No, they're not

(23:24):
taking it and bouncing it. I was hoping, I was.
I'm not gonna lie. I understand this is a serious
subject matter, but I was hoping that it was a
musical naked man dancing, which is do you remember in
Top Secret when they go to the ballet and the
and the female dancers are jumping from cock to cock. Yes,

(23:47):
that was the stupid No, it's not like that. It's
not like that. All right, anyway, go see Take Me Out.
Go see Take Me Out, because by all but in
all seriousness, um, get over the penises and watch some
some great acting. Um, let's break back the legendary Donald

(24:08):
don't even act like you know. Ted is all of
a sudden about climate change. He saw him Convenient Truth. Yes,
Inconvenient Truth has fucked Ted up, and he is really

(24:28):
upset and he and he confronts the janitor about why
his van is on. Now this is what got me.
That was years ago. This is over ten years ago
that we were talking about climate change and everything like
that in al Gore. Yeah, we are now witnessing some
of the things he was talking about, of course, and

(24:49):
it's all happening way sooner than even al Gore's movie
he said it was happening. Yeah, it's a great time
to buy a house at sea level. No, it isn't
like if you live in an apartment building in New
York City. Just know that you might be looking out
into the ocean one day. Um, I'm trying to put
solar on my house. Um, I just I'm we have solar.

(25:14):
You do have solar. I'm trying to get it. There's
only one there's only one spot where I think it
could work. The guy's coming out to assess if I
get enough sunlight. Because it's expensive. Man, you save money
when you get a rebate because run. But yeah, it's
a lease or you can buy it. Like discourage people.
I'm not discouraging anyone. I'm just saying to transfer over

(25:34):
into electrical and solar energy. It's going to be expensive
for the state of California, but there are California incentives.
And by the way, if you have the right amount
of sun on your land, you can be making so
much electricity that you're actually selling it back to the city.
So look into it if you're if you're if you

(25:55):
can afford it, because yeah, you might have to put
out some upfront cost, but then over x amount of
years you actually could be making money if you have
the enough sunlight on your property. Yeah, it's yeah. The
transfer is the transfers where where they get you. But
in the in the long run, you're actually I saw
this thing. It's so cool, dude. It's super expensive, so

(26:15):
it's not really makes sense for most people. But it's
this giant sunflower looking solar thing. Right. It's the size
of a small tree, but it in the morning, it
unfurls like a sunflower and it spins as the sun moves,
and just the solar panels are like an open flower

(26:35):
and it turns to just go all day long wherever
the sun is. Wow, isn't that cool? It's way cool. Yeah,
I geeked out on it. And you could power all
of your equipment with solar and get batteries. You can
get batteries and save it anyway. Tom Cavanaugh is bad
his back and he does. He doesn't crazy, He's very elaborate.

(26:59):
Before I realized that Tom Kavanaugh was gonna surprise me,
because I don't remember this episode much, I was like, Wow,
they don't normally just stroll into rooms with dead, bloody
bodies on them on Scrubs, like first of all, the
doors just open. There's no like, there's no like respect
for the deceased, Like you know, this feels like at
a character for Scrubs. And Turk's being so cavalier about it,

(27:21):
like yeah, yeah, the guy dad yeah, And and I
just as I before I realized what was happening, I
was like, wow, that's a little out of character for
these for the show. Of course, someone has done amazing prosthetic.
I didn't know they hired a prosthetic artist to do
Dan's back to look so real, like it again split

(27:41):
down the middle, like they hired someone for like ten
grand to do a very elaborate split open prosthetics on
Dan speaking a very elaborate prosthetics. Did you see Heidi kloonefer,
Oh my god, an amazing worm, Like, how do you
party in that thing? She didn't party, and that she
wore that for the red carpet and then took that off.

(28:04):
She gets love in the outfit, and she posted a
hole behind scenes video of her, like when the costume
was just like foam, and so she practiced, like the
laying down part was practiced, and how to get up
and how to move and then eventually, like halfway through
the party, there was a reveal where she takes the
worm part off and she has like a sparkly like
naked looking suit you know I'm talking about, but it

(28:27):
looks like skin but with diamonds all over it. Basically, Well,
she had a lot of pressure too. She always has
a lot of pressure, that woman to bring the best costume.
That's her fault. She shouldn't have killed it so hard
the first time. The first time I forgot. I don't
know her and Cel used to go nuts when they
were married. I remember that. I remember, like their Halloween
party used to be the jam and then they got divorced,

(28:48):
and I thought, oh, well, there goes a Halloween party.
Heidi's like, no, this ship is still going. I don't
need to to keep this thing going. That costume was amazing.
It was out of this world, all right, this world? Alright?
So wait, wait, wait, So Dan does a big zombie
hug that scares the shit out of me. There's people watching,

(29:09):
people gathered. You've you've helped him do this scary prank
on me. And then you're walking in the hallway and
I jump out and go, I'm a monster because I'm
trying to scare him. Right, you know what I had
an idea for when watching I remember riffing that we
did like ten versions of what I would say and

(29:31):
and I'm a monster one. I think I came up
because I'm a monster. I had a great idea. And
you guys, since we're in we have a pitching point
at the end of this. But the Young Dan and
j D show would be a lot of fun instead
of like, you know, like Young Sheldon. What if it
was young Dan and j D and their dad, you

(29:51):
know what I mean? Like, but you know, that would
be a pretty interesting show. In what about No No
one wants to see anything without young Turk and we
didn't meet till college. Yeah, but that's that's about Turkey JD.
The college years, Oh my god, they made I don't
know if that works. I don't know if that works. Yeah,
you did have a high top fade, that's that's for sure.

(30:14):
Every day. And there were no water balloons. There were
no you're gonna be funny if we got like those
daging dots on us and we played us and then
I do then I didn't really like our idea like
South Park, Kenny, where we just the audience we're gonna
diet Wars every episode. You think like they're gonna get

(30:37):
out of it. Now they're dead. No, they're dead. Do
you like and Or this week? Yeah? Yeah, Joe Allen
and I were talking about that when you were trying
Were you talking about it when when I wasn't here yet. Listen,
I'm gonna tell you something right now. You're it's weird
to have you as a Star Wars fan all of
a sudden. So we were trying to get the shit
out of the way so you weren't wouldn't be bored. No,

(30:57):
you know, the non and Or shit out of the way.
I don't care about that cartoon Jedi show. You didn't
watch sales in Jedi Let's fire. You know what I'm
gonna say. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna say this.
The tale that the Jedi show is perfect for what
it was for you know what I mean. It tells
a great It tells a beautiful story of cow Cow

(31:18):
Duku becomes a Sith Lord, and it tells a beautiful
story of how Aska you know, what happens after Asoka's
left the Order, and how she was capable of doing it.
For what it is, it's perfect, perfect, It's not Andor.
Andor's a different thing, it's a different beast all together.
But so sales of the Jedi, Zach, I'm telling you
right now. And Or just takes its time and it's

(31:41):
just like that was like dialogue episode in animation. In animation,
one of the best things that you can do as
an animator is to take your time with the with
the with your storytelling, with your movements. You know what
I mean, let everybody experience it. And that's what's happening
with Andor. I'm not gonna lie to at the end
of it. I want to I did want the prison

(32:03):
break to happen, but well, no, that's gonna happen, I'm
sure in the next episode. But they're gearing up. They're
gearing up. They're gearing up for something. But is it
gonna be big? Have you watched Rogue one yet? No?
I don't want any spoilers. There are no spoilers in
Rogue one. Rogue one, No, no, maybe not. Maybe he died, maybe,

(32:27):
but everybody dies in that ship. All right, all right,
back to the television show Scrubs. I wanted to just
point out a little something special though. At four forty four,
four minutes and forty four seconds and where you usually
see Beard Fasse in the pharmacy, uh, you see Deonte
and Snoop Dogg conversing and it's just a rare little sighting.

(32:50):
I wonder what they were chatting about, But normally you
see Beard Fasse there speaking to other random folks. Probably
that would have appeared at four twenty even better, but
I listen, I've never in all the episodes we've been
rewatching seeing Deonte on the inside of the pharmacy m
conversing with Snoop Doong resident. So I saw some fish

(33:11):
he was going on back. Yeah, there was. There was
definitely something curious happening with those two some different Cox
is hard on his patience, you know, but then he
goes and he does the exact same thing. He you know,
he stresses, just like he told his patient not too.
But when he's pointing out I want to point out

(33:32):
when he's pointing out hypocrisy in the hospital. The first
example is a very tanned doctor telling a woman with
skin carencer you can't go in the sun. And that
was Anna from Sound. Yes, she was on our sound department.
And then when he tells when Kelso is smoking a
pipe telling a guy not to smoke, that was Patrick Bolton,

(33:55):
our set trusher that we always talked about. Yes, so
two little cameos there. Although I feel like Patrick is
a nurse in the show, Yeah he is. Patrick's why now, well,
I mean, I guess that nurse could also have some
some some some smoking lung issues, but he's already been
established as as a as a nurse on the show.

(34:17):
Just FYI if you're going deep with trivia, okay, And
so Elliott hates the hypocrisy in the hospital and she
feels like, look, man, this is some bs, how are
we going to tell our patients to do one thing
and then we're going to behave this way that we're
behaving just like them? Um, And that comes to bite
her and the ass later on, and that storyline goes

(34:38):
on to be something even bigger than it. Then what
Elliott thinks it is, Uh, turns out I don't want
to spoil it, but in a couple of episodes, this
character comes back and she hasn't gained any weight, and
then we dig deeper, right, so Elliott, but you know,
the Elliot's giving her shit about this woman about being

(35:01):
too thin, and then Cox calls about and says, you know,
Cox carries her to the scale and says, you're a
pound over her and pound less than her. Actually, you're
a pound less than her and you're five nine. You
know you're being a hypocrite, but you know there's but
you know, there's ways to be five nine in thin
in a healthy way in five nine, and be health

(35:22):
and thin in an unhealthy way. I mean, just to
play Devil's advocate, right, But but Cox was trying to
make his point that that he believes Elliot's underweight and
unhealthy as well. The Janitor and Ted are now on
an environmental crusade. They're going to save the planet. Yes,
the day Janitor has been forced by Ted to watch

(35:43):
an Inconvenient Truth, and now he's decided that he's an
environmental officer. But but he has a freaking what you
call a girl scout sash covered with with a bunch
of patches, buns, buttons and putman patches. I wonder if
if he made overnight. Yeah, what did scrubs Wicky say

(36:04):
about the patches? I wonder what they've would? You know,
that's a good Easter egg right there. What did the
patches say? I looked, you know, they I took a
gander and they were mostly just you know, standard like
recycle and that kind of let's see what I'll look
right now? What if scrubs Wicky had anything in particular
to say about it? Don't let me down, Trevor, Well,
I I he's the one I checked this earlier. That's

(36:26):
why I got the Green Week thing. Um he's the
one who said that. Um. Trevor and his posse members
of the one he told me about that. But anyway,
we just we found out that Ted has head sweat
and that he sometimes sleeps. Yeah, yeah, he's sometimes No,
he has head sweat. He sometimes sleeps in uh and

(36:46):
uh Kelso's office on his bed and uh. The way
he got caught was he didn't take his head in
print out of the pillow. And so you know, Kelso's
now telling him, you better, you know, I bet to
not catch you in there again. I better not catch it,
and dent like that again. Ted runs off and when
he comes back, he goes, he literally has the pillow

(37:08):
behind his back and he's hiding it and Kelso doesn't notice.
But then when he brings the pillow out, it's got
a big, like a microphone shaped sweat spot, and he goes,
I had to take it because of my head sweat. Yeah,
sweats like that from his head. Yeah, he's a very
nervous man. All right. The only thing I'm getting here

(37:28):
that's new is Dan's entrance mirrors that of Jigsaws in
the first Saw movie. I've never seen a Saw movie.
Oh sure, I see that. And Elliot's patient Robin later
appears in My Full Moon. Okay, we need to talk
about that. Okay, that's when we get to that. All right,
I'm just telling you what's in the trivia section here, Um,

(37:49):
we skipped the part where there's a fantasy and they
force us to get on the scale and and you're you're,
you're it says they. She stamps tubo on your forehead. Yeah,
because I'm two hundred and ten pounds. Yeah, and she
stamps muscles what is it? Muscles? Muscles, muscles wanted on
my looks like it's added in post. Right, It didn't

(38:10):
look it was definitely added, not look very well done.
If they did stamp us, it wasn't clear enough, so
they added in post. Yeah. Yes. So the janitor UH
is trying to put up parking car pool parking spots
reserved for people who carpool to the hospital, and if

(38:31):
you don't do it, you get punished in some way.
So the janitor is like, look, I'm gonna put these
rules in the place in the hospital, and for those
of y'all who can't follow these rules, you will be punishment.
There'll be punishment that I see fit. He's can't withsess
what the correct punishments will be, right. And for Turk,

(38:54):
because Turk parked in a spot that should have been
used for carpooling, he put a hornet's nest in Turk's car.
So on Turk's break, when he gets into its car
to go drive to get lunch, he gets beat up
by a bunch of hornets. You screaming against the window.
Was I think one of the one of the only
times I laughed out loud. That was pretty funny. And

(39:17):
then there's another moment later on where it's not even
reference but you're just walking by spot and wasps okay,
So Dan, we learned he flips houses now and he's
really you know. Of course, the audience is skeptical because
Dan has lied to us before, but apparently he's flipping houses.
He's doing well. He's got enough money to buy JD

(39:39):
a car. He's doing really well, which means really well,
you know, because when you make money, the first thing
you think of isn't usually I'm gonna go buy my
brother a car, Like the first thing you think of
when you make money is I'm gonna buy me some shit.
You know? But why did JD? Are you now? And
what we started talking about we can finally talk about
because we're there in the episode. Why it just felt

(40:01):
I just didn't get JD trying to smash the window
with the with the biggest he's jealous, he's why but
neurotic mess. But he's his brothers. But his brothers also
single and now making a shit ton of money in
a job that he doesn't have to work that hard at,

(40:23):
you know what I mean. And he's succeeding. And that's
I mean, that's to anyone. Imagine if you, you know,
imagine if you worked your whole life to become an architect, right,
and you finally get there and you're making decent money,
and your buddy who or your your family member, who's
been a fuck up their whole life, uh, and who

(40:45):
you've had to carry your whole life their whole life,
also all of a sudden lucks out and becomes filthy
rich on some job that they don't really have to
pay attention to the jealousy of I work my whole
life to get here and you fucking just took a
you know, you just farted and the ship worked out

(41:05):
for you. You shot gold and it worked out for you.
The thought of that, why thinking? But why does j
he says the line that really threw me. You're supposed
to be the loser, not me. Why does JD think
that he's loser. He's got agree because he can't afford
to get a car. He can't afford to drive, and
he has a fucking scooter and he's like, this is
gonna work. This. I feel like I can do this.

(41:26):
I might not be able to take the kid out.
He said he couldn't. He said he couldn't. He couldn't.
I can't take Sam on the scooter because his his
his head is not drawing, his neck isn't isn't appropriate
for a helmet. The helmet, but you know what I mean, Like, Okay, yeah,
I see what you're saying. I didn't. I didn't track that, like, oh,

(41:46):
JD can't afford a car because he's technically, you know,
not making a lot of money yet as a doctor,
and he works ten times harder than his brother does.
He stays up hours that are fucking outrageously like he
probably gets in the last seven years, he probably gets
to the average is like maybe three to four hours
of sleep a night. That shit'll kill you, dude, you

(42:07):
know what I mean? Like the stress level point, I mean,
I don't know, but I think at this point in there,
in there, if you're not listening, if you're not working.
If you're not working, if you're not working private practice
and you're working in the hospital, your hours are still
out of control, dude, no matter what. Okay, I'm a
perfect example of it. Okay, all right, um, Now what

(42:32):
do you think about this thing about the game that
the Dan plays the constant questioner that's where he where
he just asks questions. Yeah? I didn't get that either.
No offense to Tom. He's hilarious. I just didn't get
the joke really, the good question part. I think it's
just like an annoying big brother thing. It felt just

(42:54):
from a sibling angle of very like this is the
thing he falls back on when I give him a
cold shoulder, right. I was just like, how well it worked?
Is a bit side? It's a B side episode, don't
I don't know? Man, I kind of like, what do
you mean you're trying to say that this this is like,
come on, when we love them, we love them? This

(43:14):
one is Joel? What do you think I did like
this episode just from like, I don't know. It's a
little bit darker than we can pack. And I would
say the comedy isn't if we're rating this is like
a comedy show I'd be like, these are some interesting choices, right,
you know, way more I agree with you, Joe, Well,

(43:35):
this is way more of a if you say B side,
maybe a deep cut on the track, But I don't
know about a B side, you know what I mean? Well,
doesn't a B side mean like it's on the album,
but it's like not one of the best tracks. Sometimes
sometimes a B side just means lucky, we're gonna throw
some shit out there. Usually sometimes it's not even something

(43:55):
that's on album. We just had a song, we're gonna
put it on there. Wait two, well do you know this?
Or Daniel would have on this? But can you google it?
I think it was from the originally when there were records,
you'd put your you'd put your your your badass singles
on side A, and then you'd put ones that were
a little less. Do you know, do you want to
know where it's backfired? For real? For real? Now you
know Wu Tang is forever, right, It's fat Tang forever? Yeah, right?

(44:20):
But Wu Tang when they first dropped, they put protection
neck out and on the B side they put method. Man,
I don't know what I don't really know what that means.
So Protection Neck is the first single with the whole
wool rapping, I smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Frazier,
the Hell raizor raising Hell with the flavor, terrorizing jams,
like troops in Pakistan, swim swinging through your town, like

(44:43):
your neighborhood. Spot a man, right, and but it's all different,
It's all of them. It's ghost Face, Ray Kwan, Method Man,
you God Uh, the Rizzar, the Jisa ODB like the whole,
the genius, the genius. Everybody's on it, right, U inspect
the deck like everybody's on it. And then on the

(45:04):
B side they put method Man, which was just Method
Man doing m E t h O d Man, which
you think was the biggest single. I'm guessing because of
the tone of your story the M E T h
O D. Yeah, Method Man became a star because they
put him on the B side of that. All right,

(45:28):
chel Was, I write about my interpretation pretty much. B
sides our tracks, which are unusual, rare or secondary deemed
less important than the A side songs, which are intended
to be hits. Yeah, so they're not released. So they
did that with method Man and Method Man song Blew Up.
So much that the B side got a remix like
all types of ship. Oh, I'm sure there's some B sides.

(45:49):
When in this latest Taylor Swift album where she she
did like in a B side on the record, No,
she did. She did one version, it was like the
Midnight version, and then she released a three AM version
which had like nineteen tracks on it. All right, now,
if you're if you're track track nineteen, Taylor is not

(46:09):
going to release you as a single. It's gonna be
a B side. How about this rapper from Amigos getting
shot over a dice game? It's crazy take off. Did
you know their music at all? Um? Yeah? Man? Like yeah, man,
they were there. They're a big group out of the South,
out of it. I know they're popular, and they feature

(46:31):
them on Atlanta a Lot, which is a show I
just love so much. And uh but I just don't
uh apparently was I mean I just saw the headline,
but it was over a dice game or something at
a bowling alley. They think now that it was someone
from they went with a record label, Buddy basically to
celebrate his birthday on Halloween night, and we think that, um,

(46:53):
it might have been someone on their side, like just
firing wild crazy and accidentally hit him. It doesn't seem
like the police came out May Steam and they're like,
we don't think any illegal activity was happening at all.
We don't think Takeoff was involved in anything illegal. We
think it's just an accident, which is much more devastating.
I think, yeah, it's horrible. Yeah, um all right, back

(47:17):
to the show. Yeah, I really very clever. Sorry, go ahead.
The janitor is still afraid of Carla. Everybody's afraid. Everybody's
afraid of Carla. Carl will fuck your shit up. Yeah.
I thought the opera thing was very clever. Is that
what you were about to say? Yeah, very clever. So
we called it the Hedging Noise Symphony where JD asks
everyone if they think he needs to grow up and

(47:39):
everyone's like, uh, well he that was clever. B bum

(48:00):
bam bam ba bam bam bam bam. No you don't
remember that far anyway. So I thought that was very clever. Yes,
very clever, very well done, very well directed. Lawrence going
home and walking. I laughed out louded my scarf from Harry,

(48:25):
So you're wearing a Harry Potter thing, which I didn't
get because I've never seen a Harry Potter thing. What
never seen anything related to Harry Potter never. You might
like that that's a lot of storytelling. It has special effects,
but it's a lot of storytelling, exactly said, No, are
there lightning bolts coming out of fingertips? No? Oh, because
that's where I draw my line if there's lightning bolts

(48:47):
star Wars at all. There's no lightning. There's no lightning
bolts coming out of fingers. My nephew's always trying to
fucking turn me onto sci fi shit. I'm like, is
there are lightning bolts coming out of fingertips? Because I'm
not watching that ship. There are no lightning bolts coming
out of fingertips and Harry Potter. It's literally but you
to start with the Chris Columbus first one and like
that's like a that's like does that still hold up?

(49:09):
It all holds up, buddy, it all holds up. My
kids watch Harry Potter now and they're scared to watch.
They're scared to watch six, seven and eight. It starts.
It gets look as they get older, the stories get
way more. Okay, feel something something, please, Joe, I do
feel like, man, don't leave me on his Islandbama say something.
I do feel like I missed out on this giant

(49:32):
cultural thing. I mean I really do, because there's always
people like I'm a stingingdoor and I'm like, no ideal
is great. It's all great, I would say. I would
say Zach might most be interested in the Alfonso Korean version,
which really embraces practical effects that are very beautiful, uh

(49:53):
and fun to watch. And it's mostly a Christmas movie,
so it's got like a lot of whimsy and charm
and holiday a. You know which. One of my favorite
is the Goblet of Fire. That's the best one, the
best book. Okay, Goblet of Fire is the best one.
That's the one from from us and Batman Vampire Batman. Yeah, yeah, him,

(50:16):
he's up in that one. Robert Pattinson, Robert Pattinson, that's
a good one. When I do, it's the Goblet of Fire. Dude.
It's like, you can't watch nine movies in freaking nine days.
That's even you watching it with your children, which is
I'm not watching with my children, watching them by myself. Well,
you're you're a bad example, because you're you you know what,

(50:40):
here's a crazy thing. I watched Tales of the Jedi
because I thought my kids wouldn't watch that shit, right,
I was like, there's no way, I know Rocko hate
Star Wars. Now Rocco comes down in the morning and
he's watching the ship secretly watching Star Wars again, secretly,
come on, because he doesn't want me to know that
because you like it and it's cool, so he's gotta

(51:01):
probably right, Yeah, he doesn't. He's like, look, man, that's
your thing. And he doesn't like Harry Potter. He thinks
it's cool, but it's like, you know, it's not enough.
What does he like? He likes basketball? Besides that, Like,
what what does he think to watch? He likes watching
things like all right, there was a show called Amphibia
about these three girls that get trapped in this amphibious world.

(51:26):
You like that? He liked? Uh? He liked. Uh what's
the show called with the Freaking Kids? It's from PBS, though, Uh,
what's it called Odd Squad? Sure is that? Uh? He
likes a lot of educational stuff because he's a smart kid.

(51:48):
Are you gonna take him to see Wakanda Forever? I mean, yeah,
why not? Dude? I mean we tried. I tried to
take him with see Thor. He was like, it's all right,
are you gonna go opening weekend? What's the title of
the movie, dwell, all right, are you gonna go? Are
you gonna go opening weekend? Oh yeah, I'm gonna take
him to see where you might want to get your tickets. Now,
I would guess, I don't know what weeks ago. I

(52:11):
don't know, dude. I can listen, man, I'm down on
my fucking phase on. I can get into a movie.
You're gonna call Ryan Coogler, Hey, Ryan out of here being.
Somebody said some dumb shit like that to me, like
how did you get tickets to that? And I looked
at them and for the moment it was like I
could be like I paid the money for it, but motherfucker, like,

(52:36):
it's Puffy you. So I would Puffed into that dude
from the Power movie when he ran into him in
the street like nigga, you know who I am being,
what the fuck is you doing? That shit had me rolling.
I'm not gonna lie. We can cut all this stuff.
So Puff was out in the street dressed up as
the Joker and he was running into people on the boulevard, right,
and he ran into somebody and the person didn't recognize him,

(52:58):
and Puff's trying to be you know, cool about it
and if he's if he's stressed as the joker, it
doesn't matter. This dude's being a little extra about it though,
like get the fuck off me, get away from me,
or you know, you're a clown man, you're a joke.
And finally Puffy drops the act. He goes from being
he goes from being ditty in a fucking outfit, in

(53:22):
a in a joke outfit, to being Puff and fucking
you know, I'm not gonna say nothing, but you know,
Puff ain't no bitch. You know, let's just let's just start.
Let's just go with that. Right. Was a video of
him like yelling at the guy. He all of a
sudden turns into Puff and it's like, yo, don't you

(53:43):
And and then he realizes, oh shit, I went too
far and he's like, hey, budd, you should come to
my party, and he jumps back in the character. But
when you come, you change your vibration all to your vibration. Baby.
Oh wait, here's my question. Did the actor not truly
not recognize he didn't recognize that it was puff and

(54:03):
he thought it was something. He thought it was a
guy fucking with him, So maybe right, But he was
being like, I'm a fucking star, dude, don't fucking grabble me. Yo,
Who the fuck you think? You know what I mean?
He was being one of those cats when you know,
he was feeling himself and didn't realize he was being
he was getting love. I don't know what the lesson
I should learn from this story is, but I feel

(54:23):
like there's a lesson to learn. And this town is
too The thing is, the town is too small. This
town is too small to be an asshole to anybody.
It's way too small. The world is too small to
be an asshole to anyone. Listen, we're getting close to
the end. JD is wearing his infamous soccer What about

(54:46):
him bouncing? Hold on? What about him bouncing Turk's head
like a basketball? Yes, that's funny. Um, I bounce your head.
You paint your head like a basketball, and then I
bounced you. It even has the words that go across
the and then I'm like between the legs and because
one one, how are we going to do that? Yeah?

(55:07):
Let me think we figured it out. You put me
into it so that you could freaking grab my head
and my head and you put me into a knapsack
ones if you recall um, And that was not a fantasy,
not a fantasy. So but I'm wearing that. I still
own that shirt. By the way, it's a classic, a
picture with a that says soccer and has a football

(55:28):
on it. You know what I found sad was that
Ted by everyone he's ever cared about, has been told
he's a disappointment. Yeah. Yeah, Ted doesn't have anyone that
really loves him until he meets a ladies in future
not to be confused with lady, but he meets a gal.

(55:49):
He meets a gal. Um that means a lot coming
from a guy who painted his head like some kind
of sports ball. Now JD plays basketball, maybe not well,
but he plays basketball. Freaking basketballs what basketball is? So

(56:10):
Turk convinces JD that he needs to go see his son.
He now has the means to go see his son,
He needs to go do it. JD's like, you know what,
I'm gonna take my brother with me, And he takes
his brother and they and they both get to hang
out with Sam. This line at the end of this move.
At the end of this show is the reason is
one of the reasons why this show was so good

(56:30):
for me, because it's two things. One, Dan is reminiscing
about the fact that he misses his dad, and when
he sees his brother's son, it reminds him of his dad.
That's one part. The other part is JD realizes now

(56:53):
that he has something on Dan, something that Dan wants.
And so when he says, I know there's it's not
just I know, like, yeah, you're right, but it's also, yeah,
how about that my kid looks like dad? And and
my success isn't doesn't that he realizes my success isn't

(57:14):
necessarily my job. My success is what I'm is this
journey that I'm going through in life, and you know,
and that's him and that's him right, and that's him
growing up, you know what I mean? Uh? And Dan
has already realized that my success isn't how many you
know what job I have or what you know, that's

(57:35):
not my success. My success is where I end up
in the end, you know what I mean. Yeah, And
a lot of people have a hard time. A lot
of people are like, I want that ship now, I
need it now so I can be successful. The journey
is the most important part. Yeah, and you can. And
showing up in your kid's life and he's he's about
to start this new chapter as a father, right. But

(57:57):
that's but that's what makes successful, that's what makes him,
that's what makes him a great person. So all of
that stuff that he was, you know, Dan, I'm supposed
to be the fucking I'm supposed to be the I'm
not supposed to be the loser you are. He's not
a loser. He's done something that Dan hasn't been able
to do, and he has that over him at the

(58:18):
end of the show. So that's something I took out
of He looks like dad. I know. That's well said.
And of course it made me think of John Ritter.
Although it's ill advised to drive a car with a
half broken out, all I could think about scene. I
was like, it's exactly likely to get some glass in
your eyes or bugs. I would be more worried about

(58:39):
the glass, right, Well, yeah, all right, we're gonna take
a break and when we come back, Joelle has a
very exciting surprise for us that we don't know much about.
But we're very excited. We'll be right back and we're back,
are back, Zach. I love. By the way, I have

(59:02):
to say that you and Wilder it for Halloween. We
didn't talk about this. Yeah, so viral. Oh my god,
you were everywhere with that, with that Wilder and you costume. Yep.
I'm just gonna say. My wife called Cobb, Casey Cobb
came through. She knew. She was like, Yo, we're gonna

(59:23):
put her in this outfit. And I was like, oh,
that's cool. She's like, No, that's not where that's not
where it ends. That's just how it starts. You are
then going to put on your you know, the only
thing that I have from the braces don't fit in
my mouth anymore because your teeth adjust and stuff like that.

(59:44):
But that chain is the only thing that I have.
And that's something that I brought into this situation. It
was a chain given to me by this girl, Melissa Boner,
when I was growing up. She wasn't teased at all, no,
not even a little bit, but she gave me a
chain with the Superman. Her parents were in jewelry or
something like that, and she gave me that, and I

(01:00:06):
just remember thinking, holy cow, and I wore it everywhere
and uh and uh when I did Clueless, I wore
it in the movie. And that's the really the only
thing that I still I gave it to my brother
for a little bit when he was in his band,
so he, you know, had a little bit of that magic,
and then he gave it back to me. He was like,
I don't need this anymore. And it's been sitting in

(01:00:26):
like a jewelry box forever. What about the the were
those the colors of the costume that Murray wore? No,
but you wore a can go backwards? Yes, okay, Well, anyway,
the real the real star of the picture is my daughter,
of course, of course, but that stands. But it did
hard By the way, she's going to be a little performer.

(01:00:46):
You know it. They're calling listen. I gotta tell you.
She's so adorable and just the sass she had in
her face. She is captain of the SS sassy Um.
What happened? Now? Did Casey ever get into the yellow
plaid outfit? No, she never did. She never even tried to.

(01:01:07):
Did she Did she have one in the house? No,
she does. Because our listeners were told that there might
be some role playing, and I just wondered if anyone
if you wanted to follow up. Oh, there were some
roles we played some roles. Oh, oh, we played some roles. Oh,
don't get me wrong, roles were played. Yeah, but all right, Joel,

(01:01:32):
what tell us what's happening now? Yeah? So, okay, you
have two options, you guys, let me know what you
want to do. We can either listen to people's pitches
for what we do after season nine of Scrubs yea,
Or we can listen to their pitches for things. You
guys should create TV shows, movies, whatever. We have plenty
of both. Oh, let's listen to let's list one of each,

(01:01:53):
one of each one? Okay, all right, so pick us
your best on what we should do after we run
out of episodes. This is how there's so many I'll
pay I'll play that long? How long? None of them
are longer than two minutes? Okay, all right, could work? Everybody,
Thank you for some minute. Let's hear an example of

(01:02:14):
what you think we should do after we run out
of Scrubs episodes. All right, here we go. Why is
this not up here? You know what? I'm just going
to share my whole desktop. Hi, Joel and Gang and
I did email for my idea for after season nine.
By no you get I'm sure you haven't seen it.

(01:02:36):
So I have listened to the latest episode and I'm
sending your voice notes, and particularly with having the break,
we'll be coming back with this most recent episode. I think, Well,
for me personally, what I've enjoyed most about the podcast
is just catching up with Zach and Donald and Joe Allen, Danel.

(01:02:57):
You know, it was great during COVID that they would
mentioned big things happening at the time and it felt
relevant to everyone and it would connect everyone, you know,
mentioning what's going on in the world, things like that,
and just catching up and I love hearing their recommendations
for what they're watching, what they're listening to, what they're
working on. So maybe just like a fortnightly sorry that's

(01:03:18):
a very English term. Bi monthly, would you say, or
a monthly episode even because obviously I know those guys
are busy, so that might be bought more feasible to
fit with their schedules, so the fans can just listen
in and catch up with them and you know, feel
a part of that friendship. Because I think that's what
a lot of people listening to you every week, we

(01:03:40):
felt like we got to know you and be part
of the gang. So yeah, I think it's amazing. And
you know, you could still have people on guests on
every now and then, maybe people you've worked with on
other projects, or you know, just still have the Scrubs
co stars on just to sort of catch up and
hear about projects they're working on. I mean, Sarah Chalk
is just always gold um and or maybe and then

(01:04:03):
maybe you can revisit like some of the episodes where
you couldn't get the you know, the the guest stars,
Ryan Reynolds, I'm looking at you, Ryan Reynolds. And it's
difficult to pick another show as it will always alienate
some people that didn't watch it weren't interested in it,

(01:04:24):
and I don't think it will have the same impact
without hearing like the backstage stuff and the kind of
inside gossip. So they are my thoughts. I'm glad you back.
That was great. I agree with Laura Turnball. First of all,
how wonderful is that accent? I mean, I know, I
know I'm I'm biased, but that is just I just

(01:04:45):
love when I hear someone speak with that accent. Laura Turnball,
that was very well said Donald your thoughts. I agree
with her. Maybe that's what we do where we do
it twice a month and we just catch up and
shoot the ship. Yeah, because I like that, because the
thing is, we always are we want, we love doing
the show, and the show is a nice sort of spine,

(01:05:08):
if you will, for us to sort of have a
story to tell throughout the hour. But the truth is,
let's be honest, the four of us could shoot the
ship for for an hour, and we could also invite
guests on and shoot the ship with them. I think
what with Laura Turnbull is very eloquently saying, these people, Yeah,
they like scrubs, but they also just like hearing us

(01:05:29):
shoot the ship and catch up. And maybe that's not
every week, maybe it's every two weeks. But we talked
about what we're watching, what we're recommending, we surprise each
other with a guest or I don't know. That's definitely
an interesting idea that because I think Laura's right and
that no matter what show we pick, ay, we're not
going to have any behind the scenes anecdotes. We're not

(01:05:54):
gonna We're not I mean, we're not going to be
as invested in it because we don't. We don't have
the insider memories. We don't have. I can't tell it
and I can't say, oh my god, that's funny Diante
and Snoop Dogg at the at the pharmacy window, because
I don't. We don't know any thing like that. And
she's right that you're guaranteed to alienate a certain amount
of a percentage of the audience because they're like, I

(01:06:15):
don't give a fuck about X y Z show. I agree.
I feel like I feel like that's a that's right.
But you know what, Laura, that's your opinion. We got
so many more to listens. But let's put Laura. Let's
put Laura Turnbull. Jowell, you have a whiteboard? Can we
put Laura Turnbull on the whiteboard as a potential? Now, Donald,

(01:06:38):
do you want to hear one more just to contrast yea,
or do you want to move on to the ideas
for our future collaboration? You know, I think we should
do future collaborations. Okay, Okay, so now we're going to
hear an idea. But Laura, that was excellent, and thank
you for submitting that. And um and for saying things
like fortnite. This all comes from Matt and Vic. Okay,

(01:07:01):
Matt and Vic reading us, Zack Donald, Joel Daniel, and
Daniel's brother in law in the background. My name is
Matt Johnson. I live up near Seattle. I was listening
to the November first podcast today where you all were
asking for ideas for movie pitches for Zack and Donald,

(01:07:21):
and as I was driving listening to you guys, I thought,
I can't get an idea of a Christmas film out
of my head. And then later on the show, you
guys came up with it yourselves, and I was like, oh, no,
maybe I shouldn't do this, but what the hell here
I am. I'm doing it. And I think Zack and
Donald should play colleagues in a public school where they
are tasked with putting on a Christmas slash holiday performance

(01:07:47):
for your students. It probably works best with high school students,
but it would be hilarious with elementary school kids. And
you both have such different music tastes that that would
make for a super cool soundtrack, and you guys really
pick cool sound songs anyway, like Zach's soundtracks for films,

(01:08:08):
Donald's experiences and talent with his own musical abilities, and
I think that would be a really really cool idea,
and there's just so much possibility. I'm I'm a middle
school English teacher. I'm not saying that I should write
the script. I should ask me to write the script,

(01:08:29):
but I would do it. I have no experience with screenwriting,
but it would be really fun and plus it would
be really cool to work with you guys. But anyway,
that's my idea. UM, school school Christmas Holiday concert. Zach
and Donald are the teachers and it's thrust upon them
and that's their task, and they make it work and

(01:08:50):
it's a fantastic performance. That's all right. UM, really love
listening to the show as always. Glad you're back. Glad
you all enjoyed your hiatus and continue to continued success
to you all. Cheers. What a nice guy. What's his name,
Jewel mat Mad? Thank you so much. That was That's
just funny as the idea, Yeah, I like the idea

(01:09:11):
of us working in a middle school together or elementary school, well,
a middle school, a high school or a high school.
I'm putting on a high school musical were we are
the two teachers who have been assigned to throw the
Holiday Spectacular, and we're gonna go both to the wall. Yeah,
and we're not We're both were both out. Maybe we
were both maybe we were both failed actors. So this

(01:09:34):
is like it's kind of like Guffman, like, we're gonna
go all out. That's hilarious. That's good, all right, Joel
put that on the board. Mad Thank you very very
funny idea. This is fun like our new segment. But
how does this work though? And and how does this work?
So so I thought perhaps we could keep doing these

(01:09:54):
each week and then we could have our own March
Madness bracket. Yeah, at the end of people vote hilarious,
and we could do a March Madness bracket where you know,
you guys let us know which. But we're still gonna
that's not good. We're gonna pick what we respond to
the most. No, I mean, don't tell them that. Then
they're not going to vote. Bro Listen, it will it

(01:10:16):
will influence us, right, it will influence us, But we're
not going to dedicate a year of our life to
something we find mildly interesting or something that they or
something that they put us in just to put us in. Like, no,
I'm talking about In that instance, I was talking about
what what the podcast would be in terms of creating

(01:10:37):
a show. We're certainly not gonna go out and pitch
something to networks that isn't something we find hilarious, even
if the audience is like, that's the one. You have
to do this, right, I love, this must be done.
I really do love. Thank you, guys. And that's a
good length. If you submit, Joel, tell people how they
submit again, so you can just send us a voice No,

(01:10:59):
if you have an iPhone or you know, if you
have a Android or something, there's all kinds of recording apps.
Just record yourself. Please keep it under three minutes. We're
not going to play it if it's let's say too.
Let's say too because those were two, right, yes, yeah,
those were two. I think two is a good length.
All right, two minutes. You can send it to scrubs
iHeart at gmail dot com, and you know, if you like,

(01:11:19):
I will play it here, and you know, eventually maybe
the audience will We'll get to vote or at least
share their thoughts on you or I liked it, and
then I think when we narrow it down, eventually we
can have these uh, the the people on and and
have them elaborate further. Love it. I love this idea.
Why I love this is because we get to get
back in touch with our fans. I love it. And

(01:11:40):
I love how those two fans were very well spoken
and funny and UM and I I'm I'm Joel. Um
this is a hit. I love it. UM, I love
you both. UM, that's our show. Everybody, thank you. UM,
I hope that. Hey guys, it's uh. Lastly, I just
want to say, this comes out on Tuesday. It's it's

(01:12:01):
election day. Please vote, yeah, and do it. I already
voted early because um, because you can, um where I'm
pretty sure almost Listen, anybody can vote early if you
get the if you get the ballot and the mail
comes on on Tuesday, that conversation is useless because this
is Tuesday. If they get that stamped today, if they
get that stamp today, if it's out in the mail today,
it's still considered early voting. That's not true. Even if

(01:12:23):
it's Tuesday and you're listening to it right now. Oh
you get it stamped today, it's still considered early voting. Okay,
but I would suggest yeah, sure, Donald Dry but if
it is, if if you're listening to this on Tuesday, UM,
and you're in the United States of America, UM, just
go vote at your polling place. You can just you know,
any website you put into Google, where's my polling place,

(01:12:45):
it's gonna tell you where to go. And um, and
that's it. We love you very much. Donald, count us out.
We made I said, here's the stories net all should know.

(01:13:05):
So Gatto
