Speaker 2 (12:06):
Let's get into it. Let's get into it. Hey, y'all
met Joe Allen Daniel. Right, Hey, big ups to Daniel
for freaking groove in the night were y'all walked in.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, DJ Daniel, great job, Great job. DJ Daniel.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Talk about how great it is to finally do a
show and not have to worry about like, you know,
people coming in and go.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
You hiding in your closet because your children. Well, we
started this as a as you guys know for listening
to the show.

Speaker 10 (12:42):
We started literally the day of Lockdown, the first day
we were supposed to do this in person together and
the rumors of lockdown were starting, and I said, well,
it's you and me.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Do you want to just come over my house and.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
We'll do it?

Speaker 10 (12:51):
And Donald was like, I'm not coming over, no, And
I was like it's me, and he goes, I don't
fucking care this COVID. I'm not going anywhere, And so
we and the good folks that iHeart said thanks to Dan.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I said, Daniel, Dana was like, Dana was like, Yo,
we can make this work. I just got to give
you guys hardware. But that meant Dane coming over.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
To the Gary and he came so mad. I mean,
this dude looked like a like a what'd you look like?
Like you're in Hasmac gear. It was like twenty eight
days later. Yeah, but it was good because he was
a stranger at that point. He came over in the
full like the yellow thing that blows up like you know, like.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Like Marty McFly, Yes, Marty McFly in Back to the Future.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
And he was like he was like, here's your gear,
like but it was like, here's your gear. And I
was like, I don't know how to say that. I'll
talk you through the zoom about it. I recorded a
video group.

Speaker 10 (13:45):
So that's how we started the show, doing it all
four of us in our individual homes, all entirely over zoom.
Other than the episode we've done in the in the cars,
which I think we're two, nothing else has ever been
done outside of our individual homes through the zoom windows.

Speaker 4 (13:59):
So this is the really thrilling for it.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
But when we did we did that E special and
we got to actually go into the iHeart studio for
the first time. Yeah, but but we got to see
about that. But we got to see where Joel worked
for my first time, which was kind of cool to
see our office.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
It was weird though, because because we never feel all.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Our iheart's hand sanitizer.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
At the time, it was the height of COVID. So
Donald was like, you look at all that hand sanitizer?
Should we take it? Should we take it?

Speaker 10 (14:27):
And Donald's over there like shoveling hand sanitizer into his backpack.

Speaker 9 (14:30):
Like wolverine claws with just a little hand sanitizer.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's crazy.

Speaker 10 (14:33):
Do you remember that he stole hand sanitizer. I was like,
I don't know if you should be stealing hand sanitizing.
We took a picture on Instagram and in the back
of it, I'm holding four things of hand sanitizer.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Well, it's such a thrill to be in your beautiful city.
Uh we we we we are.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
We We arrived today and we were in the in
the car getting here and Donald's pointed to the beautiful
skyline and said, is that the space needle?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
And I looked at him and said, what the fuck
else do you think? Like, just what else could it be?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
I remember the space needle being taller when I was
a kid, and now it just seems like it's like, no, that's.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
The transgalactic pointy thing the space needles to the left
of it.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yo. I remember mount being able to see is it
Mount Saint Helena?

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Helene's Helen Helen's.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Heyo, chick, get off my back.

Speaker 10 (15:30):
You should have googled that before you talk to the
people of Seattle. But we were in the plane and
we saw in one of the mountains, I guess it's
ray Near in the clouds, and Donald and I think
we know we were talking about. We're like, look Mount
Saint Helena in the clouds and we're like, oh look,
how cool is I'm gonna try and get a picture.
And this woman turns around she goes, it's ray Near.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
We thought, really fucking stupid, hey z that you know what? Well, listen,
We're so happy to be here.

Speaker 10 (16:01):
And I had to say, one of the best things
about being here is that doing this live, we know
there's no chance of our precious show that we put
so much time into being hijacked by our good friend.

Speaker 11 (16:14):
Interrupting Bill interrupting, boo.

Speaker 10 (20:22):
Actually, what happened is backstage bills like don't worry, I'm

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Wow. All right, let's get into it this year magical Yes,
Count of Sin?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Donald you'all want to count of sin?

Speaker 4 (20:42):
You guys? Kind of sin? One, two, three, four?

Speaker 6 (20:49):
Some stories.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
About it.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
That you want?

Speaker 16 (21:01):
Know?

Speaker 4 (21:03):
So scrubs at all right?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Everybody?

Speaker 7 (21:18):
Uh?

Speaker 10 (21:19):
Episode six of season six UH my musical directed by
uh directed by Will McKenzie, written by Deb Fordham of
course Bill Lawrence, the showrunner, creator of the television show Scrubs,
and many other brilliant writers that are on our amazing
squad of writers and guest starring the amazing Stephanie Bruzzo.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Is that how you say it? Bill? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
She was. She was starring in a different musical.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
She was starring in the puppet musical.

Speaker 11 (21:51):
I think I think they prefer that you call it
Avenue Q.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (21:54):
I was trying to think of it. That's why I
was asking for a hook up. No, I don't think
they wanted to call it the puppet music.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
That was I was.

Speaker 10 (22:00):
So we spent a lot of time coming up with
the title Zach and we don't want the puppet musical.
But you all knew what I was fucking talking about.
There's only been one. She was incredibly talented and uh
and she tell us how you found her?

Speaker 4 (22:15):
You cast her?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
How did this all come about?

Speaker 11 (22:18):
Look, the Scrubs has this weird kind of central point
of actors and writers that are both kind of simultaneously
guys guys and love musical theater. That's not Zach, he's
just in the musical theater part.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's okay, facts the facts.

Speaker 17 (22:35):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
And on the way in, I was like, what are
their sports teams?

Speaker 11 (22:40):
It is, yes, what Seattle sports teams were. And by
the way, you can make stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Up with Zach, what's your favorite saying?

Speaker 10 (22:46):
I knew about Timobile Arena obviously, I'm like, what did
they play there? Sorry? Sorry, I know it's fucking huge.
It's not an arena, it's a park.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Sorry.

Speaker 11 (23:02):
But we had we had a writing staff and cast
members that all love musicals, and we decided to six
year that show to take a shot at doing one.
And the funniest thing for me, by the way, I
want everybody, without thinking, to answer this question together when
I say three, there's only one cast member in this
cast who can't sing a lick and uh uh one, two, three?

Speaker 4 (23:26):
You know that reminds me of something funny.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
You know.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
When we do the podcast, by the way, is when
we do the podcast, one of the running things that happens.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Because we were recorded.

Speaker 10 (23:40):
Is we say cut that dannel, cut that down NonStop
because one of us is always saying something ship we
don't want out there by so you know, you know,
Donald's soccer soccer as you know Donald as high as ball.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, so very.

Speaker 10 (23:55):
Very often there's a common refrain amongst all of us
who are like, cut that Dannel. Donald will go on
some random tangent and I'll be like, okay, and cut
that Daniel.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
And then and.

Speaker 10 (24:06):
And so I said to Donald and Bill and all
these Joel and Daniel, like, we can't really obviously four
when this goes out to the rest of the world
that isn't the eighteen hundred of you, we can cut
anything out.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
But I go, you, guys, realize we're doing this live.
There'll be no cut that. Daniel.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
And I was just enjoying as Bill have you guys
all announced that Sarah can't sing.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Now, we are definitely not cutting that Dannel.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Sarah.

Speaker 11 (24:35):
Sarah is somewhere in Vancouver right now, just with a
single tear.

Speaker 10 (24:38):
She doesn't know why. She has no idea, but a
tear does she rest were Donald and I were laughing
because everyone can pretty well I love you to death, Sarah,
but everyone can everyone can pretty.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Much sing, but mobs.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
You just look at the camera.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I looked at this cameras to Sarah.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
I love you to death, but Donald what was the
line she sings at the end.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
How can I tell him?

Speaker 11 (25:09):
By the way, if these guys are there, She did
like eight takes all the same, and then like after
the eighth one, you just go like this.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Good enough, all right? Donald? Where are your notes? Did
you bring your notes? Bring notes? Why did you fold
them up? Listen? This this tells you everything, you know.
I have like four pages, and he's got like a
wrinkled up thing. It probably has gum in it. Alright,
start us off, all right, So the story starts off
like this. Carla doesn't want to go back to work.

(25:42):
She's just had the baby. Izzy Elliott and JD live together. Now,
I didn't know that you guys live together, that as
a romantic couple. Elizabeth Banks Kim has just left and
I have no one to live with. So I'm living
with Elliott as a roommate. And I'm very clinging. JD
is very clinging, and we always have to do that.
You know.

Speaker 10 (26:02):
There are blurred lines, uh, And that's how we find
JD really kind of spooning aggressively Elliott in the park.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yes, he's latched on to Elliott.

Speaker 10 (26:15):
And and she wants to go drink from a water
fountain in the park, which is weird because who would
do that.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
There's a lot of y'all out here that of drinking
from a water fountain. Don't act like, don't get all
brand new all of a sudden, because Zach's talking about
people not all.

Speaker 10 (26:30):
Right, well maybe maybe pre COVID. I'm not drinking from
a park water fountain post COVID.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
But that's just I mean, that's probably the cleanest thing
in the park.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Okay, that's what I like.

Speaker 11 (26:48):
How it tastes like rust a little flavor.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Well, Bill, Bill has Bill has no germophobia at all.

Speaker 10 (26:56):
Bill, remembering was a police academy where the guy picks
up a candy bar from the bend.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
She just eats it. That might be a deep cut.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Anyway, I remember police academy. It's this.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I don't think you did it as well as he does.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Michael Winslow is an amazing sound effects guy.

Speaker 10 (27:14):
Yeah, okay, all right, Hey, why don't you pretend to
make a bong sound like him? Okay, that's much better,
that's much better.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Incredible.

Speaker 10 (27:24):
Okay, So Patty, Patty Miller, Miss Miller, Hey, Miss Miller.
She falls and Sarah and I Elliott and I, being
the amazing doctors we are, we rush over to her
only to find that she hears us singing. How many
people do you see?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Do you know? This was a it's a real medical
con all right.

Speaker 11 (27:42):
So the guy JD who's been on your show before
my show, I fucked that up.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
It's my show, Come on, Bill, Daniel cut that.

Speaker 11 (27:56):
Me, Daniel and Joelle. When we came up with this show,
I said I would never do that. So I would
never do that. But all the medical stories are true,
and this is actually a real condition. Believe it or
not that you think in your brain that you hear
everything in music.

Speaker 10 (28:09):
Okay, I assume it's really do an aneurism, because that's we
ultimately find out.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
So I said yes to enthusiastically. I don't know what
happened there, yes.

Speaker 10 (28:20):
So so okay, So she starts singing and then we
and we go to the parking lot of the hospital
where we bring her and we do this amazing real Okay.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I got a couple of questions about it. Never in
the history of Scrubs has there been that many people
in the parking lot right ever?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
And why is doctor Cox jumping rope.

Speaker 11 (28:38):
That by the way by the way, I'm gonna give
you guys that we didn't practice, and I'm gonna give
you three choices.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Ready.

Speaker 11 (28:44):
Choice number one was there was something cut and he
was doing athletic material outside like exercising. Choice number two
was we wanted him to do something dynamic that he
could dance. Or choice number three is Johnny C said,
everybody's doing fun I want to jump rope.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
I'm gonna go with choice number three.

Speaker 10 (29:02):
Three sounds right, all right, But the funny thing about
this episode that's really specific to this episode is it
dances pun intended in and out of the fantasy, so
you kind of so the world of the fantasies is
sort of like only when she's around one thing that's
really clever that you did that. I noticed a lot
this time through was anytime anyone's singing, she's clocking it,
she's watching it. But there's a couple of times where

(29:24):
something really crazy happens and she's long gone where in
my mind, I'm like, like at the end of this
big busby uh buzzby Berkeley number with the dance umber,
she's gone, right, but Doug is still in the parking
lot with a corpse making trying trying.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
To wheel a kurney and then he.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Fucking leaves it, leaves it outside, so.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
He sat outside of the world and the fantasy.

Speaker 13 (29:45):
No that happened. By the way, just so you guys
know our work was.

Speaker 11 (29:50):
I would talk to Zach and Donald the cast for
like twenty minutes about how this was all.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's all in her fancy, it's all.

Speaker 11 (29:55):
And whatever, and then Zach would say, so if Doug
leaves the body, did that really happen?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
And I would just go, I gotta.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Go because within the musical number is you all recall
Doug makes the corpse wave.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Dead guys, guys, doctors, dead guys. If you think you're
saying you'll.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Be long at say great.

Speaker 15 (30:22):
Doctors, nurses, dead guys, welcome to say great.

Speaker 13 (30:35):
Now, Daniel, Daniel, they can do better than that, all.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Right, listen, I liked it. What happens? What happens? Uh? Then, Donald,
is that we are called to die as as the
doctors this, the two young doctors of the show are
called to try and diagnose what is wrong with her.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
There's only one way to diagnose her.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Now, Bill, you said, this comes from a real thing that.

Speaker 11 (30:58):
Doctors, by the way, what's the most realistic medical show
on television?

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Hit me up, you said, house, motherfucker, I'm gonna escort
this motherfucking Come on, it's time to go. It's time
to go. Bro, we gotta go. This motherfucker right here,
gotta go.

Speaker 10 (31:22):
That'd be funny if you, you know, every funny if
he was a plant and we had somebody who was
dragged him out, and everyone in the audience thought it
was real.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
My god, and so calm down. They're really hurting that guy.
I'm sorry, Bill.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
So she's giving the disclaimer. He's not with me. I
know he's sitting next to me, but he is not.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's a first date. I don't even like him. It's
j D.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
All right, true story?

Speaker 11 (31:51):
Uh, when you.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
It's j D. I tried it. I'm going back to bumble.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Is there truth in this? Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:10):
That's your sister.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's your sister. You guys are brother and sister. I'm
so sorry for Zach saying all of those nasty stary it.

Speaker 10 (32:20):
Was funny and so you guys had to be siblings,
all right? So Bill, go on, is.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
There a point? I'll back them back?

Speaker 4 (32:32):
All right?

Speaker 11 (32:33):
When you when you're admitted to the hospital. If they
can't figure out what's going on with you, seventy percent
of the time, they're gonna check the poo.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yeah, that's where it starts.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
Now, we know there's a very beloved song, and we
would love to perform it for you, But we we
would we would need a piano player.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Who the fuck is that? This happens every time I
ask for a player.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
There's a guy.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Do you know that this happens every time? All I
say is I need a piano player, and one rolls out, Bill,
I have what's his name? That's Matt. Everybody welcome Matt.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
By the way, do you really have a you have
a on call piano play.

Speaker 10 (33:26):
I do have an on call piano player, Bill. It's
a It's a perk that I have in my life.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I just like a I have like a call trumpet
guy b.

Speaker 13 (33:33):
Everybody fucking hates him.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Yeah, that's not nearly as good.

Speaker 10 (33:37):
What happens at my house is even when I'm alone,
I say I need a piano player, and Matt rolls
into my living room. Those crew guys they work in
my house. All Right, we're gonna do this. I think
we should do some audience parts. I think we should
do some audience participation as well. Don't worry, it's not
like cats. We're not gonna come into the audience and
sit on your laps. Do you remember when they had

(33:59):
to erase all all the anuses from the Cats movie?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
I never saw a Cat's movie.

Speaker 10 (34:03):
Well, what happened in the Cats movie is this is
a digression. But when they first made the Cats movie,
they included anatomically correct cats with anuses. All of the
cats in the movie hat anuses. Good, Hey, what do
you say? He said, release the butthole cut? Because what
happened was test audiences were so traumatized that they went

(34:27):
back and erased all of the cats anuses.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
And there's a thing that bullshit, it's true. Google it.
It's it's true. Dan, google it, Zach, Zach.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
But let's do a sketch. Hey, what do you what
do you do for a living?

Speaker 10 (34:41):
I well, one of my main jobs recently has been
erasing cat anuses.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
From the Cat's Movie musical.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
All right, so look, that's how we're gonna do it.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
I still want to talk about thet.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
We're gonna sing, Hey, hey, miss Miller, we just neat

looking at your pool turk.

When you flush your doochie down, you flush you away.

We build the butt holding?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Yeah, of course, Please.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 9 (41:09):
When we were looking at the playbacks, we were like,
what the hell you guys see that? The story told
the outlet, We paused it. We went to call our supervisor,
were like, there's a fucking asshole in there.

Speaker 8 (41:19):
There's buttholes. It was prominent. But you saw it and
you were just like, what the hell is that? That's
a fucking butthole in here.

Speaker 9 (41:26):
It wasn't in your face, but at the same time,
if you're looking, you're gonna see it.

Speaker 8 (41:31):
There were butt holding cats.

Speaker 11 (41:32):
Yeah, do you think do you think they like do
you think they like puckered and stuff?

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Or that they were just still butting.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Don't have to release the butthole. Cut.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Let's take a break.

Speaker 10 (41:41):
We'll be right back after these fine words. Okay, So okay,
let's get back into the show. Yeah, all right, So
after that, we are your notes. We get out your crumpled.

Speaker 11 (41:59):
Note interrupting Bill, I'm interrupting Bill, Who's I'm interrupting again?

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Bill's interrupting again. Dude, you're sitting right here. You're sitting
right here. Relac Zach.

Speaker 11 (42:14):
Bill asked me to jump in with the show. Ever
hit like a lull, you know, and this is kind
of a lull, and he just wanted me to remind
him that he brought some shwag from other shows of his.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Hey, thanks, I did, I did.

Speaker 11 (42:28):
I did bring some extra swag if the show hit
a lull, Thanks Bill. I appreciate it. Man, He's always
there for me. I love that guy, just as Zach.
Every book, nobody takes it harder than Zach. So I
promise that if he ever had a weak moment, like
forgetting lyrics, I throw out some ted Lasso sweatshirts.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Here we go. All right, No, well, look at it
this way.

Speaker 11 (42:58):
If it's positive reinforcement, if you ever be really hard
on yourself, my voice will chime and I'll give stuff away.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Cut that down, Okay, Dann cut all of Bill's appearance
in this show. All right, so l let's get back
in the show. Elliott, I'm gonna miss you. Carlos, I'm
gonna miss you.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Carlo is the next number.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
Right, we have to give a shout out to our beloved,
the late Great sam.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Lloyd, sam Lloyd Mopster, Sam.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Lloyd hy Zachy.

Speaker 13 (43:28):
This will make you guys laugh, I hope.

Speaker 11 (43:30):
But Zach does it better than I do, because we're
gonna miss you, Carl as one of them. Will McKenzie
he directed this episode. He's a huge musical theater guy.
When Zach said buzzby Berkeley, it was referring to Will
and h. I think he was on Broadway longer than anybody,
consecutive shows and Hello Dolly.

Speaker 13 (43:45):
Do you remember how he used to always start a scene.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Yeah, So he had this very special thing.

Speaker 10 (43:51):
I think we've joked about on the podcast before, but
he would and I've never had any other director of
my whole career do this, but he would sort of
sum up your motivation right before he called action. So
he'd be like, here it comes Turk, he's angry at
Carla and he's really frustrated, and here it comes Donald
and action.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
He would sort of like talk you up ready for action.

Speaker 11 (44:07):
I remember it because for this thing, he goes, here
comes Carla, everybody said because.

Speaker 13 (44:12):
They love her and she's leaving the hospital.

Speaker 7 (44:14):
Action.

Speaker 10 (44:16):
He would totally stow like psych you up and remind
you what your motivation for the scene was right before action.
It's a really good technique. I've never seen anyone else ever.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Have you ever used said technique?

Speaker 4 (44:25):
I've never used that technique. No.

Speaker 10 (44:27):
Here comes Florence and she's super sad and she's going
to recovery and action.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
I haven't done that one.

Speaker 11 (44:35):
Speaking, you know, I don't think you can use that
for addiction movies.

Speaker 10 (44:40):
Here comes Morgan, he almost fell off the wagon, and
he's gonna do an AA monologue.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Action.

Speaker 11 (44:47):
By the way, this may be the most fun new
game to do about any movie.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
The director inappropriately psyching the actor up.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
So Judy, if you watch the show, she's not in
a lot of it, She's just in specific parts. She
fell into. She fell and her fell broken, broke her
pelvis and yeah, yeah, and then came back a month
later or a month and a half later after breaking
said pelvis and did the holes said pelvis.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Well, you know, said pelvis, he always says said after breaking,
said pelvis.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah. I got it from Rob Mashio when he said
where is said monkey?

Speaker 10 (45:28):
That was the very rare Scrubs bestiality joke. Yeah, where
is said monkey? As though he wants to flirt with
the monkey?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
No, as if he wants to. Never mind anyway, So
she broke, She broke her pelvis and came back a
month later to do the Dominican song and I don't
know if you guys remember the Dominican song She's killed it.
She's dancing her butt off and singing her butt off.
The singing pop was probably easier than the dancing with
the broken pelvis.

Speaker 11 (45:55):
But I mean, you know, if you look back at
the show, the only thing that she shot standing with
a broken pelvis is when they're all kind of marching.
You know that you come and we we had the
whole march stop so she could fake it.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
She couldn't even lift her legs. So go back and
look at that. It's crazy. She was a trooper and
she came back and she and she killed it. She slays, right,
she really does. But at the part that we're talking
about right now, she's about to leave the hospital, she's
kind of conflicted about it. Ted's band comes in and
they sing this wonderful gospel.

Speaker 10 (46:28):
Mazing and your fucking part of it is one of
the best parts of the whole show.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
My baby, bet be it. You make me sound like algebra.
Don't don't don't. By the way, baby baby do it?

Speaker 11 (46:46):
How can that not be one of the sound effects.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Just what you're trying.

Speaker 10 (46:52):
To get into a day are shown what you're trying
to do.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
I want to know what you're trying to get into.

Speaker 10 (47:01):
All right, so wait, I really I'm being genuine and
sincere right now, that moment with you singing and that
is so beautiful and cool. Did you like like the
infamous poison dance? Did you make up this choreography on
the spot? You know they you know, you know they
want to you know, the.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Do it.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Y'all want to see the dance? Just give him some
of the moves.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Play fortnite. Oh, y'all, go boom me at my show. Huh,
y'all go boom at my show. Y'all go boomy at
my show. Y'all want to see some radio rahim shit.

(47:55):
That's it. That's it, that's it.

Speaker 10 (47:59):
Tune into four for the rest. But it's all seriously,
did you do you? Did you make do you recall
if you made up that dance on the day?

Speaker 2 (48:10):
No, that was actually was really good.

Speaker 10 (48:12):
I thought that was awesome, and so Bill, as we
were talking about backstage, Uh, let's just discuss with the
audience how each song in the musical is inspired by
a different style of musical number in some beloved musicals.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
All right, this is true.

Speaker 11 (48:27):
I missed the first part of the question, because Zach
told me that I have to be in certain places
when Donald's talking.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
This is the funniest thing. Like Bill's not used to
being on camera, right, He's used to just cameras scary.
He's used to giving direction.

Speaker 10 (48:40):
He's used to giving direction, and he's very a confident fellow.
And so we were rehearsing just a bit with the
cameras and he said, like someone said, hey, when you're
talking to Zach, maybe lean back so you're not blocking
that camera. And he goes, oh, don't worry, I got this.
And I can see him looking at me like in
a panic mode, like when am I supposed to lean back?

Speaker 11 (48:59):
I'm not talking at because for the last seven minutes
I've been doing this.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
You're good, You're good, tell us the podcast audience. No,
don't do that.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
I don't know where to put my hands in that.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
You're doing great. You're doing great.

Speaker 10 (49:18):
You guys might think that famous showrunners know how to
perform on camera.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
We're doing this, we're doing this is we're doing great.

Speaker 10 (49:24):
You look natural. You look totally natural. That's how a
person sits, all right, tell us about each number. So
the Carlin number is kind of a gospeling number, right.

Speaker 11 (49:38):
Well, how many people out here, Let's be honest and
open and own it.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Who likes musical theater? Boom boom boom boom.

Speaker 11 (49:49):
So Uh every song the act break song is based
on way miss the Uh.

Speaker 13 (49:55):
There's a song from Grease in there, you know to gob.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Friends ever going to be we will always be.

Speaker 11 (50:04):
True bill uh and uh uh And my my favorite
part if we ever get there is.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
Uh, I would you guys book the sitter till one
in the morning. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 11 (50:18):
The only thing that was meant, by the way, The
coolest thing is the song was written by the team
that did a Frozen and they did a Book of
Mormon and most of the songs written by them, and
then half the songs written by the a cappella group
Sam Lloyd and Paul Perry and those guys.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, they're awesome.

Speaker 11 (50:32):
And uh uh the one song we were missing this
is true how writer's remarks, Uh, we're laughing and we're
enjoying it, but the show is a little short.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Uh. And we we said this.

Speaker 11 (50:42):
Show's missing a huge love ballad like you see in
every musical.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
And uh, well, the.

Speaker 11 (50:47):
Funny part was everybody's like, yeah, we gotta do something
for JD and Elliott.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
And then we're like or I hear you, I hear you,
what if?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Or stay with me what if? And this is what's.

Speaker 11 (51:03):
Why people that you know, it's so cool when you
get to be around I go show like this lots
of amazing artists. And Paul was so good because we
literally the writing staff all I had. I went to
him and I said, it's called guy Love, and the
refrain is it's just guy love between two guys.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
And he he wrote, the whole.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Thing you just set him on. Your prompt was it's
guy love between two guys. That's it, and he went off.
He wrote a beautiful.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
By the way, it's like a superhero moment. He's like,
I got it, you ran out.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
We'll get to that.

Speaker 10 (51:36):
We're getting ahead of ourselves with talking about a guy.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
So the next big number is like.

Speaker 10 (51:40):
The Gilbert, Gilbert and Settlements Celem, which is Johnny C's
Big Number, which.

Speaker 11 (51:44):
It's based on Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert and Sullivan.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
Rant. Yes, and I come in and go doctor doctor Cox.
Huge news.

Speaker 10 (51:51):
I pulled some strings and got the parking spot right
next to yours bumper buddies.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Yes and Cox in order to in order to give
this young lady what happened?

Speaker 4 (52:03):
What happened? The your spots behind oh, my spots behind him? God,
you're good, by the way, all I heard was Zach
behind you, and my heart fucking drops. I was like,
this is enough. I was like, this is enough fucking pressure.
But who's behind me?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
I love though.

Speaker 11 (52:24):
My favorite thing is that Zach is so insecure that
he thinks, wait, he thinks that if a murderer was
behind him, one person would be like Zach.

Speaker 19 (52:37):
Zach is one one person that like my one crack Zach,
Like all the other eighteen hundred people are silent, but
one person had the courage to be like Zach behind you.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
The rest of you, the rest of you lived in fear.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
My best friends.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Didn't have the courage. Mentioned the killer.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
It is a Zach.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
She stands up behind you, all right. So Neil has
a really good voice. Huh, this is really hard.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
It's so hard to transit.

Speaker 11 (53:24):
Nobody here cares about me, but Neil's voice.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
Neil's voice is interesting. It's interesting.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
No, I was not.

Speaker 10 (53:30):
I mean, Neil's an amazing performer. I remember on the day,
being really impressed by his voice. But this, this and
all about a Scrubs wiki pointed out that this is
the first true, that this is the first time and maybe,
well you can discuss it. It's the only time, but
the very first time. He ever mentions that his hatred
for me is the result of the penny in the door.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Yes, it is it the first time. Yes, even in
the pilot when he goes, if you put a penny
in there.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Yeah, but we don't.

Speaker 10 (53:55):
The audience never learns why the fuck the janitor hates
JD so much?

Speaker 4 (54:00):
And he started then in the door there was a
hatred I had never felt before. And still I'm no, no, no,
every until that moose tar.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
You want to know two things. There are two things.

Speaker 11 (54:28):
Aheads okay, one, you know everybody here has had this
experience when you do something you care about, And that's
our only serious fun up in the show. Can you guys,
if you've seen it, there's a really weird light queue
there that we had to color in special effects because
the lights were often they should have been on.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
Did you notice that No, he had a spotlight hits it.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
It's fake.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
Spotlight is fake.

Speaker 11 (54:48):
Fake because we had we had a light malfunction. It's
the only it's the only take we had of that,
sort of like coloring.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Daniel acting like he's never seen some fake ship before
before Avatar was light was fake?

Speaker 10 (55:04):
But I mean, the guy all he does is play
video games. He's like, that was that light was fake?
If it's not in a video game, I don't have
object permanence, I don't I can't do it.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
That is also Zach brings up a good point.

Speaker 11 (55:17):
It's where we decided, because we thought the show might
end the seventh year, that the janitor would be wearing
a necklace with that penny around it, and that Zach
did weave a penny in the door on the first stet.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
We decided that.

Speaker 10 (55:28):
Song that's sweet Johnny. She's very funny in that, and
so of course is miss Miller. Stephanie's well, this is
what I'm understand though.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Go ahead. He's like, you want a cat scan, tell
him to shut up, And she tells you to shut up,
and he's like, i'ma heuck up the cat scan.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (55:49):
He says, I'm only gonna treat you properly if you
tell this annoying guy to fuck off.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
Yeah, that's great doctoring.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
I wish it worked like that.

Speaker 10 (55:59):
Yeah, well she gets all the tests, and we should
also mention the other storyline is that Elliott doesn't want
to tell JD that she doesn't want to live with
him anymore. She's she randomly announces that she bought a
house that came out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Bill, why did you calm down?

Speaker 11 (56:16):
We're like, you know what, you know enough of this
horse shit. You guys all watch these shows that do
ten episodes a year. We did like one hundred and
thirty episodes a year.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Man, We're just noboddy. Like we're in the middle of
the musical and.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
Like everyone's gathered around Carla's baby and everyone's talking. All
of a sudden, Elie, it's like I just bought a house.
We're like, what where did that come from?

Speaker 2 (56:34):
And then they talk.

Speaker 10 (56:35):
Carla doesn't want to tell Turk that she wants to
come back to work, wants to come back to work,
and then we end Act one with this amazing lame
is Rob homage. The truth comes out, which mixes brilliantly Bill,
I'm worried about I'm worried about your ego being fed,
So I'm gonna tell you. It's brilliant mixing all the
styles of all of Act one into the end of

(56:57):
Act one, which I just recently watched and is just
so fucking good.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
We got to get props too.

Speaker 11 (57:01):
I know you said at the beginning there's a young
writer on that show. I say young still, and I'm
a thousand years old. She's probably not as young anymore.
Named deb Fordham who wrote this. She's a huge musical
theater fan. You look for her name on TV shows,
you'll dig her and she definitely wrote all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
She killed it.

Speaker 10 (57:14):
When I say Bill, I mean also the incredible dev
fordum clock.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
But I'm for.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
And by the way, on the podcast, we try and
credit the writer whose name is on the script each episode.
But but no, obviously since this is in the news
and you know about it all. It's a room of
incredibly talented people working together to create something as good
as the one Robot.

Speaker 11 (57:40):
One of the games we do in the writer's room, now,
do you guys know, I'm gonna do it for the
rest of the show is when you're done with whatever
beverage you have, you keep fake drinking it and see
if people notice.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
So I'm gonna do that the rest of the thing.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Yeah, for the rest of the show.

Speaker 10 (57:53):
Okay, okay, So when when Elliott breaks the news to JD.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
That that they're gonna that she wants him to move
out right, and Carla tells, uh, well, is that that's
after that's well, the act breaks happens first.

Speaker 10 (58:13):
Yeah, the act break happens after you come back to
the lay missing. And by the way, I thought it
was really cool that JD pulls the curtain at the
end of act one and that that was really cool.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
But then after the act break, it goes right into
the love.

Speaker 10 (58:28):
Right, And I just want to mention briefly the love
that I feel for you, and I don't You're my
You're my best friend, and I don't think i'd tell
you enough. I wish there was some way that I
could express myself. I wish, I really just wish there
was some way in song that I could tell you

(58:53):
about all these feelings I have in my heart. I
feel them in my loins. Oh, Matt, you're back. I
didn't see you.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
Matt. Let's face the facts about me and you A
love unspecified, though I'm proud to call you Chocolate Bear.
The crowd will always stop and stay.

Speaker 18 (59:17):
I feel exactly those feelings too. That's why I keep
them inside, because this bear can't bear the world's disdain.
And sometimes it's easier too hard.

Speaker 7 (59:30):
Then explain our guy love.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
That's all it is, guy love.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
He's mine, I'm his.

Speaker 20 (59:38):
There's nothing gay about it in ours.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
You ask me about this thing we share.

Speaker 20 (59:48):
And he tenderly replies, it's guy love between two guys.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
We're closer than the average man.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
And why that's why I'm watching bracelets say Turk and
JD you do.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
I'll stick by you for the rest of my life.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
You're the only man who's ever been inside of me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Yeah, baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, got up, dude,
no no, no, no.

Speaker 10 (01:00:26):
Cut that downel got that del You did not get
up inside anything. If you want to refer to the script,
I just took out his appendix.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
I just took out his appendix.

Speaker 10 (01:00:39):
O way, let's go back. Let's go back, mat, I
need to be cued in. You're the only man who's
ever been.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
Inside of me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
I just took out his appendix.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
But after that, there's no need to clarify. Oh no,
just let.

Speaker 7 (01:00:57):
Grow more and more each day. It's like I married
my best friend in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
A totally manly way. Let's go his guy love.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Don't compromise the feeling of some other guy.

Speaker 21 (01:01:15):
Holding up your heart into the side.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
I'll be there to care through all the lows.

Speaker 21 (01:01:25):
I'll be there to share the between two guys.

Speaker 10 (01:01:44):
When I say I love you, it's not what it employs.

Speaker 7 (01:01:55):
It's guy of between too. Gosh, no hands.

Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
All right, I'm glad I didn't fuck that one up.

Speaker 8 (01:02:28):
That was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
Guys, can just be a nerd for a second, by
Matt bye.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
That hey, make some noise from Matt y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
I just want to be a nerd for one second.

Speaker 10 (01:02:46):
I have obviously been a fan of this show for
a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
Go on, I cannot tell you.

Speaker 10 (01:02:52):
The the pure joy I am feeling on this stage
with Joel watching you two do that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
Well, it's real. You made everyone's day today, sir. It's real.
It's real. We do love each other. It's real. It's

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
I'm searching for a real loud.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
All right? All right? So wait we were then? Okay,
tank forever? All right? Then we get to the The
funny thing is a sound machine is always in my house,

(01:03:58):
so this is the first time he's had access to it.
You honor me.

Speaker 22 (01:04:04):
Oh, for Fox's sake, stop talking about your willies.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
All right.

Speaker 10 (01:04:12):
Then we get to the tango. Okay, let's focus, Donald,
I'm focused. I'm focused in the clock. Some of these
people have babysitters.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
All right, listen, we got ten minutes. We're gonna go over.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
We're gonna go We're gonna go over. If you have

That's right, all right, Tank forever.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
All right, the.

Speaker 10 (01:04:48):
Tango, we get to the amazing tango. Bill, you're not
you don't have any water left. Everyone knows you don't
have anyone the tango, so oh, Judy, Bill, fucking hell,
this thing's gone off the rails, Judy. Judy had to
come back from her injured pelvis to be able to

(01:05:09):
dance like that. That number is incredible. That you are
an incredible dancer. I love that number so much.

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
The tango.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Wait, you said he's an incredible dancer on I said,
you are. Oh, it sounds like you were talking.

Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
It was a joint question.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
I think.

Speaker 11 (01:05:20):
I think everybody is pretty confident in guessing that I
can't dance.

Speaker 10 (01:05:25):
I love that Todd has a line in the Tango
that he says, sorry, even I know she's Dominican.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Boo yah.

Speaker 10 (01:05:32):
It comes out of nowhere, and it made me laugh
out loud, even I know, what do you say about
your your baby?

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
Oh? What did? She says?

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
He's a Blaxican?

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:05:41):
Why babies Blaxican?

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
So did does think she's Mexican?

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Yeah? Yeah, he just doesn't know she's Dominican. What's that?
Yeah you are? Oh nice?

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
She just yelled, we're Mexican. Oh okay, great, awesome, welcome, welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:06:07):
Well look Zach behind you, Zach, but.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
In Spanish, but in Spanish. Okay, we're winding down. So
I thought it was funny that I say that I'm
trying to diss Elliott and I say you're closer to
forty than thirty, and she goes, JD, I'm twenty nine.
That's such a fuck up thing to say to what tune.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
We told We told Elliott that she looked like Gary
Busey too. Though, Okay, you.

Speaker 4 (01:06:44):
Must have given Sarah such a complex. You fucking brought
Gary Busey to the hospital and you told her people
can't tell the difference between you, hey, car.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
And by the way, you ever, if you guys go.

Speaker 11 (01:06:58):
Back and look, there's one this shot, there's a I
think there's a shot of our id badge or a
picture that is Gary Busey when the camera goes by,
when it goes back in Sarah with that explanation.

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
Wow, all right, the end is a beautiful homage to Rent.
You're going to be okay, that's what's going to happen,
all right, everything, So okay, I love that song.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Okay, yes, and I love that song too. The show
is it's a musical up until I mean it's a
musical all the way through. But up until that point,
it's very fun and we're joking around about, you know,
how sick this young lady is and how funny it
is that she's hearing singing and everything like that. But
then all of a sudden, the show takes a really

(01:07:42):
sharp turn once we start singing, and it's beautiful.

Speaker 10 (01:07:45):
I mean, it's so we can say it because we
didn't write it is so fucking beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
No way, but props to you guys.

Speaker 11 (01:07:54):
Eventually people are gonna realize shrinking Ted Lastso and scrubs
of the same show. So, Okay, it's okay, it's okay,
it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. That's a joke.

Speaker 11 (01:08:07):
What the nice thing I was about to say was
I love doing broad silly comedy that then switches gears
and is hopefully emotional and hopefully people give a shit
and they get emotionally invested. Uh, you can't do it
unless you have hyper talented people like these two and
the rest of the cow.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
It's really hard.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
There were there were so many times, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
You, it really is.

Speaker 13 (01:08:29):
It's really it's really really hard and is amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 10 (01:08:32):
There were so many times where Donald and I would
read the script and see that there was this hairpin
turn from like crazy fantasy to just something super emotional,
and there were so many times I thought he's never
gonna be able to pull that off.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
That is like way too sharp a turn. And every
single time you did.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
This one was a really sharp turn. And I look
over and at my wife and Casey's bawling. And when
you just rewatched it, when we just we watch, we're
watching it?

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Were you married to your fiance? Get we get married
in September? God list? Is everyone invited? Is everyone here invited?

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Zach Donald?

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Donald and I went and everybody inted a big event.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Donald and I went to that. It was amazing. We
had such a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
You're Mitch Twins. Mitch Twins, all right, go ahead, my darling,
go ahead. Hello.

Speaker 22 (01:13:19):
Sorry, just want to say me and my buddy Nate
we used to watch your show back in high school
in London and we still do. Sorry, all right, okay, Daniel,
can you cut that?

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
By the way, you're like Bill, only Donald and I
get to direct. Daniel, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 22 (01:13:43):
So I'm a visual effects artist and I wanted to
know if you had the opportunity to go back and
redo any episode with maximum budget and maximum v effects,
what would you do?

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Shit? Yo, Okay, So look there's a couple of them.
If we could go back and do maximum budget Scrubs,
what episode would it be? Wow?

Speaker 11 (01:14:03):
While you guys are thinking, I'm gonna say a trivia
thing for them, but think get a good answer, cause
I'm not gonna answer it. The most expensive thing we
ever did on Scrubs, believe it or not, what we
did a sixty eight thousand dollars joke because we had
to dig a ten foot hole in the cement. And
by the way, I was such an idiots as a kid,
and they're like, can't we just fake it? I'm like, no,

(01:14:24):
the guy needs to drive into the hole and disappear.

Speaker 10 (01:14:27):
Well, we had to do well because it's so dangerous
to put me and a stuntman in a trench that
you build an asphalt in a parking lot of an
old hospital. So they had to spend like weeks of
shoring it up two different holes, and the stuntman was
my episode I directed. And the stuntman drives into the
first hole with ruining a perfectly good sausha.

Speaker 11 (01:14:47):
But did you know because he kept in rehearsal, he
kept floating up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
He had to have weights.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
In his pocket, which is very safe, super safe, and
it's a wonder it doesn't cut. I'm hiding in the
second hole.

Speaker 10 (01:14:59):
The camera pans and they banged as hard as they
could on the asphalt so that underwater in the second hole,
I could hear them and pop up and go where
was that? And that's where I of course met Julian,
the manatee who lives beneath the hospital.

Speaker 11 (01:15:14):
Anyways, though, what's your fair what episode would you do well?

Speaker 10 (01:15:18):
My go to my answer would be the fairy Tale episode,
the Princess Bride episode, because it was the most it
was the one that would demand the most visual effect.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Well, episode bumps me out.

Speaker 11 (01:15:27):
It's a trivia question for you guys, But that was
exactly when that aired with the last writer's strike and
NBC was trying. I wasn't allowed to work, and they's like, well,
maybe we'll just end Scrubs. If you remember, they put
that show on like it was the finale of the series,
and it pissed me off. And that's when we moved
the show to ABC the next year.

Speaker 10 (01:15:48):
Yeah, and then a lot of a lot of that
episode got a lot I've spoken about this in the podcast,
but that episode got a lot of shit because some
people were like, what kind of finale is this? And
We're like, this was never intended to be the finale,
and we put so much work into it, please love it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
If I had to choose an episode that we could
put all of the money into it, it would be
Zach's first directed episode where we go looking for Heather
Graham when.

Speaker 11 (01:16:12):
I was a kid, Donald I still laugh to this
day when Zach goes down the zip Molly.

Speaker 10 (01:16:21):
That was one of the greatest nights of my life.
I mean, I grew up wanted to make movies, and
I grew up dreaming of doing this, and Bill finally
gives me an episode, and I'm directing myself on the
Universal Studios back lot in the middle, hungout on the
back to repelling, repelling across the street, landing, not to
mention the crush I had on Heather Gramm my whole life.
Landing and being like Molly one of the best nights

(01:16:43):
of my life.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
I yeah, I remember that. I remember that night very
well because you we were on bikes and you were like,
follow me, and I was like, all right, and we
went on a little excursion.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
You took back to the future.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I saw a clock tower and everything.

Speaker 10 (01:16:56):
All right, next question? Good what you guys pick? Oh yeah,
She's like, wait, the next question right right right? You pick,
I'll run the thing out, all right. I'm gonna pick
Scrubs Onesie. You deserve it. If a man wears a Onesie.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Okay, go ahead. He collected his flowers.

Speaker 25 (01:17:51):
Is there any stunt that you all did? Obviously there
was some things you had stun doubles do. Some things
you guys did yourself. I know a lot of pratfalls.
What have you that you really hurt yourself that you
kind of looking back away.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
I got, I literally got a hernia.

Speaker 10 (01:18:04):
I had to go to the hospital because I tore
I'd show you, but it would be weird. But no,
there there might be, there might be pubist moms. But anyway,
I I ripped my my hernia. Uh and uh, I
had to have that fixed. I don't think they checked
my pooh. No, it's a valid question. I don't think

(01:18:29):
they check pooh when they know it's a hernia.

Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
But I'm just a fake doctor, not a real one.

Speaker 13 (01:18:34):
You know who else got who else got a hernia?

Speaker 11 (01:18:37):
Mash got a Robert Mash show, The Todd got a
hernia when he was in a thong banging into the window.

He had a scrubs club during the SRT time. Yeah.
Now it's been fifteen years later.

Speaker 17 (01:20:14):

Why is that ironic? That's wonderful, it's awesome.

Speaker 23 (01:20:24):

Speaker 4 (01:20:25):
That's like an Alanis Morris at irony. That's not a
real army.

Speaker 23 (01:20:28):
Be sure I wish you happy birthday more than I
wish him.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
That's like rain on your wedding day.

Speaker 23 (01:20:33):
But it did rain on our wedding day.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
There you go.

Speaker 17 (01:20:36):
Anyways, My question is we work in the orthopedic manufacturing industry,
and Donald did the orthopedic rotation with the shorter surgeon,
if I remember correctly, And so I just wanted to know,
if you had the choice, what specialty would you go
into if you were a real doctor, Donald.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
But.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
If I could go into actual doctoring, what doctor doctor?

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
If I could go into actual doctrine.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Would I be uh something with like the no, I'm
not gonna say penis, whether it be a poop.

Speaker 10 (01:21:34):
Finger, I don't know if you guys heard the episode
where Donald asked the urologist if the taint had its
own specialty.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
I would ask what I would be. I would totally
be a taint doctor.

Speaker 4 (01:21:45):
He would he would be a taint specialist.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
That would be my special first in his field.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
Yeah, all right, next question, Yes, right here, this woman
right in the middle, We're all you, I'm right here,
all right, get to her?

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
Can I get a DVD?

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
All right? Sneaking through? Hell? Oh god, I'm sorry, you
gotta get up to the balcon here you are, okay.

Speaker 16 (01:22:11):
Hi, I'm Deja from Newestminster up in Canada. Hey, okay,
first quick props. DJ Jennal Live your Twitch clone high.
So happy it's back. Yes, Janelle, you are our goddess.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:22:28):
So the question is for Zach.

Speaker 16 (01:22:30):
So you've actually worked with Jason Sadacas twice, from what
he hosted Saturday Night Live and then on directing him.
So what we're what what? What were the experiences like
indifference or the same before working with him from.

Speaker 23 (01:22:45):
Back then to now?

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
Well, that's a great question.

Speaker 10 (01:22:47):
I was lucky enough to host SNL one of the
greatest experiences of my life and uh yeah, you can
find it on the web. If you ever get a
chance was one of the one of my life goals with.

Speaker 23 (01:22:56):
The internet archive.

Speaker 10 (01:22:57):
Yeah, there you go. And so Jason was amazing on
that show and so funny. I think the big focus
was that Ted Lasso was his baby, you know, it
was all about him, and he and Bill Uh and
uh and the others who created that brilliant show, you know,
really crafted around that character that Jason had come up with.
So that was the big difference. It was like S
n L is an ensemble and you're kind of star

(01:23:19):
for the week, whereas Lasso obviously was all was his
baby and all about about that. But but directing that
episode of of Lasso was was one of the one
of the most fun things ever made.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
So I'm glad you nominated for it. You got.

Speaker 4 (01:23:36):
Biscuits, you gotten nominated. My hype man, I love you
all right, go ahead, yes, yes, go ahead, yes right there.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):

So we've done some fun stuff with you all. Yes,
question is who's the next neighbor is going to join
you next season?

Speaker 10 (01:24:11):
I know if Donald, if you have your dream, well
you know who I wanted? Did someone say Kevin Bacon
if you didn't. That's a funny idea, though, You guys
from Team Moms should take notes on all ideas that
come up.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Who would you, guys, most like to just yell out?
Who would you most like to see join us on
the colors head?

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):

To thank you very much.

Speaker 10 (01:24:43):

This person's really excited about it.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
All right, we got what do we got? You right here?
Don't hurt yourself up there, Dannel.

Speaker 11 (01:24:55):
This has been a lot of time for it not
to be about me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
Hi, Hi, Hey, my name, My name's Maggie.

Speaker 23 (01:25:05):
And oh what's that Maggie?

Speaker 24 (01:25:11):
So my sister and my brother and I he's not here,
but we've been watching your show since Hype.

Speaker 8 (01:25:16):
We were kids and hiding behind the couch while.

Speaker 13 (01:25:18):
Our mother watched it.

Speaker 9 (01:25:21):
Because we loved the fantasy so much and it was
past our bedtime and she.

Speaker 23 (01:25:25):
Didn't let us watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
So it's past my bedtime. Now, yeah you can.

Speaker 11 (01:25:30):
You can stay up as much as you fucking want.
Now you can go nuts.

Speaker 16 (01:25:37):
So my question to all of you guys is, what
was your favorite fantasy?

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
Oh when I played Indiana Jones and I went up
in that motherfucker's colin and extracted the tumor. Mine was, uh.

Speaker 11 (01:25:58):
When we were I was younger, the writer's room of
Scrubs was occasionally a little bit. Zach used to call
it stonerrific and we I remember delivering it to Donald Ya,
but we rode a super long, like two and a
half minute fantasy that Donald and Judy raised a pumpkin
as their child.

Speaker 4 (01:26:15):
God, yes, yes, And it was long. I mean, it's
gotta be the longest fantasy the whole way.

Speaker 13 (01:26:24):
My favorite part was we didn't have the end. We
just weren't a little high.

Speaker 11 (01:26:27):
We wanted him to raise the pumpkin, and I think
it was Neil Goldman then said at the end, after
they dropped the pumpkin, their actual son should come walking
over and get hit by a bus.

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
I remember that I dressed up as a younger version
of myself and I'm like, mom, Dad, what about what about?

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
We know? What about when we planted his testicle and
it grew well.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
You grew well that, Yeah, he grew another Donald. But
he wasn't. He wasn't a good turk. No plant tk,
plant turk. What about what about when they used when
they use my prosthetic nut as a heater and they're
all standing around.

Speaker 4 (01:27:09):
It like and then when they come back to the hospital,
Maschio has burn marks all over his face, meaning he
put his face on Donald's nuts. And I think he
says something like best trip ever.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Best ship ever.

Speaker 11 (01:27:23):
Yeah, you guys, I have I have children, I have
like children.

Speaker 10 (01:27:28):
I remember, I remember my mother, the fantasy, I remember
the being the craziest is when Donald was goat turk
man and I'm like, stay away from my mermaid, goat turk.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
My bad.

Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 10 (01:27:44):
Let's do one more on the balcony.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
You gotta point him out. I'm too nervous.

Speaker 10 (01:27:49):
Okay, the guy from Australia, for fuck's sake, he came
all the way from Australia.

Speaker 4 (01:27:53):
The guy from Australia. Are you the Mitch? Oh wow,

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):

Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
