Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't speak. I know just what you say. Super please
stop explain and don't tell me that it hurts.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
By the way, do you guys got to watch this?
For some reason landed this in my head. The Netflix
documentary about Woodstock ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh I did hear about that?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah that it was a wild You've got to see
this Donald. You can't believe I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Is that where the mud fights? Yeah, the mud fights
and all that shit.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's not mud, it's pooh. They don't know they're pooh.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
A buddy of mine went to Woodstock and has pictures
of himself in the mud fights and everything like that. Hey,
but I just want you to know you was you
was slinging doo doo.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
It's so gross. It's so gross. But you gotta see
this Stock. It's three part documentary listeners. I highly recommend
that it's it's shocking and really well done. But it's
crazy what happened at that fucking festival. Donald Season six, well,
I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone. Just insanity. They
fucking rioted, they started fires. It's incredible. It's the season

(01:10):
six finale.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
And what a finale it is.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Zech I wrote, I laughed so hard. I've wrote so
many notes, but there's a.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Couple of I think the biggest laugh, as always is
Rob Mashow.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yes, of course, we have a special visitor coming for
the listeners today. Joelle is special present for the listeners here.
No or Dana, No, okay. We have these very special
guests for you listeners, because we love you and we
like to give you special treats, especially when it's the
season finale of season six.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
We're going to give you two special treats. We're gonna
watch the show with you in the next episode and
in this episode, the season six finale, we're bringing in
a heavy hitter. We're just gonna leave it at that
for now.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, Daniel will let us know and then surprise is year.
But how are you a day of shooting and just
checking in with you, how are things? Roco had his birthday.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I saw Rocco is now officially nine years old, nine
big ones. It's very interesting because he's taller than nine, Like,
he's taller than the average nine year old, and so
when I look at him, I see such an older kid,
and but he behaves like a nine year old, and
you know, you know, what I mean, And it's like, uh,

(02:29):
and I have to I have to accept that. I
you know, I'm so proud of him. He's blossoming and
growing into this really awesome kid right now, and I'm
really excited about that. But what I'm really excited about
is that, you know, as actors, when you're you know,
as actors who have to go across the world and

(02:52):
do things and stuff, it's rare that you get to
stay home and be with your children. And these past
couple of months this summer, I've had the luck of
working in LA and it hasn't been like that in
a long time, and so it's great. It's great.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I'm sure they're so glad that you're around and
you could be a part, especially since so much is
happening with your kids.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, it's really interesting. It's really cool, man, you know,
it's really My daughter is heavy into dancing and gymnastics
and all of that stuff now, and Rocco and basketball
as well. And Roco's heavy into basketball, and school's about
to start up, and you know, life is life is,
it's moving and.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Aune.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think it's good to be alive for anyone right now.
I think everybody needs to just sit back, and you know,
if you could just take a moment and take a
mental polaroid of where you are, you know, in life
right now and understand that it's not the goal, isn't uh,
isn't waiting for you at the end of the finish

(03:55):
line that you know, the goal is the journey that's
you know, and you're the journey that you're on. And
I'm enjoying this right now.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, that's well set, man, And I am too, And
I appreciate this, you know, as we end season six,
I gotta we gotta always say how much we appreciate
you listeners. This is so fun for us. I was
preparing for the show just now watching the episode and
I'm cracking up. I'm sitting here alone, I'm swiping tears
from my eyes, laughing so hard. And I would not

(04:26):
be doing that if it weren't for this show. And
and so I just want to just shout out you
listeners who who you know? You give us the reason
to do this and so much joy doing the show,
and also of course revisiting scrubs and laughing and knowing
that I'm going to get to crack up with with
you three is something I look forward to every week,

(04:48):
so so thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And on that note, five eight show made about a
bunch of.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
He said, he's a story, all right, so we'll wait
for special guests and let's just get into it.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
J y know, he is into it. Huh. At first
he's not into it. He's like, I'm gonna save myself
for marriage. And then with the it was it the
shift of the wind, the change of the wind, and
all of a sudden he had movement and there it
is and trying to go.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's amazing how powerful little side boob can be. Donald.
You know, sideboob can bring down a man's defenses.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Let's be honest, there's a lot of things that can
bring down a man's defenses. You put meat in front
of a dog, he's going, well every one hundred. My
wife always told me, you put meat in front of
a dog, it's gonna eat it. That's just real talk.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Well, he's single, he hasn't had it's implied he hasn't
had sex in a long time. Dog, you dog, a
dogful woman is in his arms. Dog, she's carrying his
baby dog, and all of a sudden there's some side
boob swiping. Oh yeah, he's no match for Elizabeth Banks's sideboob.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
And no, nor is any man, nor is anyone, No
is any person.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Here's what I never heard. She says that the baby
was moving quite a bit during the intercourse and that
he quote enjoyed it. Now, I've never heard that express Donald,
you're a man with many kids. Just when when you're
in late stage your pregnancy, does the baby mover owned
a lot? Is that a thing?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Well, yeah, naturally it does. But you know, I imagine
when things into environments.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I've honestly never heard it.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I was watching sometimes it could be scary, anything.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like get the fuck out of it?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
WHOA what is how are you? What you're doing up
in here?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I never get out of my space.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is this is my room.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
I've honestly never room. I've never heard it discussed. I've
heard people make jokes about like, oh, we can't have sex,
I have a baby in me, But I've never heard
of like the actual biology if if the baby reacts
to during intercourse until this episode, I.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Mean don't doesn't, doesn't can't seem and like cause labor also,
like I don't know, man, you know they.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Do they do encourage. Like if you know you're very
pregnant and you do dates right around the corner and
you're like, I want this baby out of me, They're like,
sex can help. I don't know how that works, but sex.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Donald just said the semen. I would think it's the movement.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yes, I think. I think it's all of it. I
think it's all of the lubrication.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Can you google whether semen can induce labor? Because I
don't think that's true. It's a fake doctor.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Listen as a fake doctor. It can be true.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Hold on as a fake doctor. Anything anything.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I can say, whatever the funk I want. I'm afraid
I've never stood up here and said this.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm a real doctor.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You should take what I say. It's fact as much
about that.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
If a very pregnant woman is listening, I don't want
her to being like, oh let me go get some
seeming because I'm ready to give birth.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Sperm banks would be off the chain right now, get
out just.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Whoa Okay, everyone settle in for this, So.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
For right let's just start with that. Let's just start.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Sexual activity, especially having an orgasm can really sexytocin, which
may help jump start eatering.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Contractions.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Also for pregnant people who have sex with men, there
are pro glanden hormones and semen that might help ripen
the cervix.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Oh, Donald, I only know this because I did a
movie called Home Delivery that involved uh some rip the cervix,
and so I know this. It's coming soon, y'all. So
when you get the chance, go check out Home Delivery.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Wow. Wow, Donald, I would have never guessed you were
right about that. But everyone, it's about intercourse. Don't do
shots of semen.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, no, no, no no, don't drink it.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh my god, even Daniel saying, oh my god. All right,
so we got lots to talk about. So then we
see a montage that they are three weeks go by
and they're feeling each other. They're they're they're they're making it,
they're building the crib, they're doing all the stereotypic couple
about to have a baby things. And we learned that
Elliott's wedding is in one week and so things are

(10:26):
really building up. The janitor didn't get his invite because.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
She hold up before we go, Before we go for forward,
I thought this was really interesting how uh JD and
Elliott are sharing the A storyline and the B storyline
is janitor, the janitor and the brain Trust. Uh how
often does that happen? I don't think we've paid attention
necessarily to that while making the show, but you know,

(10:52):
I just found that very interesting that the two of
them shared, like the his storyline, JD's storyline with Kim,
and Elliott's storyline with Keith. We're all a part of
our marrying they're sort of mirroring. Yeah, they're all kind
of the same storyline. And then the B storyline is
the brain Trust and the Janitor.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
All right, uh Donald, special guest is here, Daniel Timpani,
Please some really juicy timpany some season six finale Timpany.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I can't believe we did it.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I can't let you and let special guest him.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yay, No, I mean it was make more noise, more noise.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
I feel I feel like there is a concerted effort
to not get me to join my podcast today.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
What are you talking about.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
This whole season six? Bill, We've been talking about how
you're We said, oh, we should do it, ask Bill,
and then we're always like, no, he's way too busy.
We can't even ask to and ask Bill.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, just so you guys know, it's good to see
you all again.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I had a weird moment this morning because it is
the first time I drove into the set and that
security guard didn't say, I love your podcast.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
We have to tell the audience if you haven't been
keeping track. Bill has been doing something I never really
knew someone could possibly do, and that is show running
two big ass shows simultaneously on different coasts, one in
Miami and one in lah Bill, how the hell are you?
You've just finished? Do you want to get in the
fetal position? What's happening in your hearing?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Man? I'm okay. I missed.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I miss you guys. It makes me really happy to
be Look, I liked my job a lot.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
I'm never going to do that again.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
I was a giant mistake, but uh, I want to stay.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
I want to stay on this though, because I was
really I didn't get to prepare because Danill even knows
I was going to send something. I've been working on
some new caracter. I'll tell you what I need A
new character. Interrupting guy, anybody you know what the problem was.
I kept trying to obsess about a funnier way to
do interrupting guy and interrupting Bill, and I haven't, uh,

(13:01):
I haven't been able to beat I Still people still
talk to me on social media about when interrupting Bill
interrupted me interrupting you guys.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was like it was like that.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
It was like inception.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
I got a new one. I'm gonna ruin it, so
it can't be one. But I think we should come
up with a new character for me today would be
helpful for me.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
My new one.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Was and I wanted to do, Uh, I'm not finished
talking about this guy.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
So here's here's my idea. My idea was to talk
about something Donald and I'd have to talk to you
about it before that is going to annoy Zach, Bill, Zach,
can we finished? Can we be done talking about this?
And then I was gonna say, yeah, all right, I'm
done talking about this. But when I say that, that

(13:49):
would be Daniel's cue to hit a button.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
And I'm not talking about this.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
My favorite part of this, part of this, my favorite
part of this is Bill in post on two giant
shows and instead he's sitting there brainstorming on a new
character for the podcast.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I'm not done talking about this guy.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Isn't bad No, that's great.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
To have to prepare.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Well, you know, in my head, I have to find
a great topic that Donald and I can riff on.
It will eventually annoy Zach and then Zach can go,
oh my god, we start talking about this, and then
maybe Donald I would work it out and say we're done.
And that's when that's when my prompt of the guy
that's not done talking about this was the last point.
I think we could do that, Donald, And if we're careful,

(14:38):
Zach will never see it coming, even with this one.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, if it's about a basketball player, I might see
it coming.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
You don't see it coming, regardless of what it is.
I don't think. I don't think you'll see it coming.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
All right, Phil, I have questions. This is the season
six finale. It's the last episode on NBC.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
I believe, I think so. And no, no, season seven
was the last episode on NBC because they juggled the
order of it. It was a shortened season seven, and
they made the Princess Bride homage the finale, even though
it was not the finale.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
I see now, is there something? Is there some reason?
On scrubs Wiki, it says this is the last one
that Touchstone that has the Touchstone TV logo on it?
Is this when like ABC changed their name or something.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Could it be?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I don't know, you know, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I was. I'll just tell you what it says, and
it made mean nothing, but it says this is the
last episode to use the two thousand and four Touchstone
television logo since the season four premiere. That's just something
un scrubs wiki. Maybe you don't know what the hell
that's about.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
I do.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
It's because Touchdone used to be their studio and then
they just all became Disney.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Got it? Got it? Got it? Oh, they changed to
Disney Memory.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
There used to be Touchdowners too, and it became obsolete.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I missed, I missed Touchstone. And there was one other
one that wasn't there another Disney movie. It was Touchtone
and something else.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Touchtone with Disney's kind of cool you know.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Can't Buy Me Love and all of those. Yeah, and
it went away.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
I don't think you're allowed in these times to have
a company name that starts with touch.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Bill, did you? I know we were always kind of
going year by year. Was there any thought in your
mind that this could be the last season of the
last episode of the show.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
No, I knew this one wasn't the last. They were
doing the show right then, And remember, we probably would
have stayed on It's a good trivia for next year.
If it weren't for the writers strike, we would probably
would have stayed on NBC even longer. That just kind
of confused things, right, and that happened this season, seventh.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Season season, then seventh season is shortened.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
And the one thing that still is one of my
top five scrubs internet traffic about when the writers strike hit,
we had a bunch of episodes in the can, but
not one that could conceivably be NBC series finale. So
they juggled it and they made the Princess Bride episode,
which was really cool, Yes, the season finale, and hinted

(17:09):
it could be the series finale.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
But if it was the series finale, it made no
sense and.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
It made me very mad.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
I know, I'm frustrated about that too, because I directed it,
and you and I and the whole crew and Cass
put so much love into that, And then I feel
like it was sort of judged harshly because people were
judging it as the series finale.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
It was very weird.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Never we never meant it to. I mean, you know,
I think people would have loved it and digested it
differently if they thought, oh, this is just a super
out of the box episode of Scrubs, as opposed to
we're ending the series on this.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
They did what was their right and they flipped the order.
So Ken Jenkins's character Kelso had even already left the
hospital and then for some reason in the season finale
he's back working there again.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was very weird. Yeah, yeah, well yeah, back to
this one.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Back to this one.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I was gonna say, I was just gonna just put
that in to comparison, uh, with everything that's shifting at
Warner Brothers. I mean, that's just how it goes. Man.
The business is the business, and I know fans get
pissed off about stuff like that, but there's nothing that
we as creatives can do about that, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Well, there is there is, I'll tell you there, Okay, yes, here.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Is going to release.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
What did I just start?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
What did I go? There is? I just hit a
button in.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I watched the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Right now, watched the whole Instagram.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Have you guys had Instagram. He's broken back Girl into
many instant stories.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah. By the way, I'm making more time for social
media now, maybe if I start acting it out the uh.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
So, here's the people like to say that things are changing.
They aren't changing. It's just more of the same. And
what I mean by that is, uh.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
The one truth is that the businesses and powers that
be in Hollywood will always do understandably.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
I'll be careful what's right for them till the end
of time.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
The story of Batgirl, there's a thousand stories like that,
of expensive pilots and shows and movies shelved and redone.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's what Donald said when I was saying it's never
been done before.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Been done billion times.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
No, I know what I meant was with a ninety
million dollar feature, I don't think that's been done before.
But Donald's yet last week was saying, well, yeah, but
think about pilots. It's it's maybe not as much money,
but it's a fuck load of money.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Think about the amount of movies and TV shows that
were completely reshot to make it.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
By the way, one of the most famous things they
made the Game of Thrones pilot.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
And by the way, also Zach if you add up
we're Saanda is a new thing? How is this that
much different than all the super expensive I could have
added up TV pilots that were made, invested in shot,
and then never allowed to be shown to anybody I
personally have made. I'm just counting them a cool seventy

(20:11):
five million dollars worth of pilots that were never seen
by a single person that exists.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, I mean, it's exactly what Donald was saying last week.
I get it.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
And the opposite side of this, I will tell you
that a cool thing for content creators is that there
is still a leverage shift. Once you do something that
everybody digs, and the second you do something that everybody digs,
the leverage shift goes from the studio and company paying

(20:40):
for it to the creators make and making it and
the people in it. But that's the fact that that
hasn't changed yet is great. So even in the Netflix
model where they say, oh, Netflix, you're going to do
three years and be gone, right, Stranger Fiction, you know
is strangely it's still on because there's a leverage shift

(21:01):
on that show, you know, because it the creators and
people that make it so in demand.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
You know that they get to keep doing whatever the
heck they want to keep doing, you.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Know, and so Stranger Things, Stranger Things.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yes, it's strange fiction by because I was thinking about
a weird movie. Stranger Things there, you know, did not
do two seasons and go out like other Netflix shows.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Do you know what I mean? It's it's going to
do five seasons.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
It looks like yeah, and like look even uh ted
Lasso is a great example because when it was pitched,
it was definitely pitched as a two or three season show,
and everybody was fine with that. And now it is,
without a doubt, one hundred percent Jason Sudeikis's prerogative how
long that show goes on? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Do you want to give us any Do you want
to give us any any any if you were to
tell us Bill, we would get so many listens, We
would get a lot of publicity.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Would maybe we can say click for our podcast.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
It can be you know why even if I even
if I knew, I wouldn't But I don't know, because
it is so firmly mister Sudacus's calls for himself.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
And I think that's the cool beauty of this show
is he'll know and he'll let people know.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
When it's time to let him know. You know, Yeah,
Zach was one of the things I was doing. Zach
was in it Donald and he was very very good.
Uh And I won't do any spoilers because he had
to do drama and violence and uh uh be a
drug addict and he absolutely crushed it.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
And I had to thank you.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
I had not seen our friend Zach act in a while,
and it made me think I got to see my
friend Donald act in one of these things too. Man,
it's been too long. I A.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I agree, you know what I agree on, understood, But
I will say this, Zach is leveled up in his acting.
He was good, but he's leveled up.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
By the way. I will say this.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I don't how Bill, out of all these years, Bill
came to me almost surprised, like, you're really good in that?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Done.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I used to get pegged on this all the time,
the ultimate infult, which is I use the word actually,
you were actually really good in that. But I will
say this, I got a good topic for this. And
then you can go back to the show because it's
back takes it back to all of us. You guys
can use this or not use this. So since we
did that thing in Texas, I'm always inundated with people

(23:32):
asking if we're gonna reboot Scrubs, And I always, you know,
because we said, yeah, we'll do it sometime. We will
do it sometime, right because it'll be fun and we
love each other. And that picture of all of us
at dinner and gives me joy whenever I see it.
But none of us are you know, none of us
are like going like, oh, we have to make it
happen tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
We'll just do it sometime. But don't you think the
three of us idiots should work together before that and
figure out a way to all work together.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
You had me in Hello. I was.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
You had me when you said don't you think.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
You had me when you said.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
It could be about uh, by the way, it could
be about an upstart podcast that I run.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
This, but this will this will be good.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
He has a cool, savvy producer named Joel, and.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I just a woman who can play Joel. But you know, man,
you know Dan, We're good all we love We love you, man,
and we were dying to do something with you. I
never I was literally swiping tears from laughter watching this
episode Bill and and and it's how many years ago?
And it just makes me laugh so hard. Uh has

(24:54):
said are obviously it goes without saying, we'd love to
do anything with you.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Well, that's what's that was one of my other characters
is steal your idea guy, So if you want to
bring us in, what it would be funny to see
Zach and Donald do together?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Oh that's a good runner for season seven?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Feel it? Yes?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Instead of this is great?

Speaker 5 (25:15):
All right, that's a great I just need a legal disclaimer.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yes, an idea. If you make the mistake saying what
your idea is and anything close to your idea shows up,
that's not my problem.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
No, you're carrying on the show. You're carrying.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
You're gonna have to sign something like if we actually
make a show out of it, they get like you
a checker.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
They get a T shirt, they get a shirt.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
No, but how fun would it be for season seven?
Is instead of fix your life and instead of random questions,
it's just pitch your idea for the Zach and Donald
Bill Larne show.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
How many times do you think we'd be were wolves?
You know, doctor doctor Akila would be doctor.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
We'd have to make a role that you can't pitch
doctor Acula. Right, okay, so all right, you can't get back.
Let's get it can't be related to Scrubs because then
then then it's owned by somebody else. All right, let's
talk about.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, so this is official. So the new instead
of fix your life, the new segment at the end
of the show is that I'll do next.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, send us a memo to Scrubs iHeart at gmail
dot com.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
There, yeah, there you go, and then we'll this is why,
this is why this podcast belongs to Bill Guys.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
This is well it happens Joel. What happens Joel has
time to figure out the document that people need to
sign from when we actually made the show.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I'd say, bye, Zach, you've been around it before. If
anybody makes a mistake of talking about an idea in
front of me, I generally say I own twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
But we know from doing the show with you that
you'd be like, what did you guys do this weekend?
A week later, Hey, we're a little stuck in the
writer's room. What did you guys do this weekend? We
tried to get into a club and I was wearing
a giant clock around my neck and the bouncer wouldn't let.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
It did not happen. There's no ya, Zach.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
You can almost believe it happened.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yea. All right, So Bill, I don't know if you
have a chance to watch the episode or not, but
we'll remind you of things.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
I didn't watch it, but I read the wiki thing
and I remember it very well, and I have some
good trivia about it.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
All right, before we do that, we're going to take
a break. We'll be right back after right now, and.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
We're back.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
And it came it's so smooth with.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Bill, and we're back is really for the host.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
So we gotta take another little break for a second.
We gotta take another little bro you should probably break now.
It's take a little break. We're back, guys, now, we're back.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
We're back.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Please don't the audience doesn't want to hear unnecessary commercial.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
I got another character.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
So listen when when Cox kicks everybody out of the lobby, Bill,
I believe you're one of the people that's running out
of the gift shop and stealing from the gift shop.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
It takes something.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
But first of all, I didn't understand, for I didn't
see your cameo. But I saw on Scrubs Wiki that
it says you're one of the people. But then I
didn't understand why I Cox screams everyone out of the lobby,
everyone out of here, and and and and then people
really they they loose the gift shop.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I just want you to know that, aside from my
embarrassing cameos which I intended, which is the priest and
then the janitor at the end, every other cameo I
had on this show happened because you were shooting a
scene on the first floor and I was on the
way to the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
To steal.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Or the top of a muffin.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
If I if I were to the kitchen and they
were doing something that I could put myself in, I
would stop and put myself in out of sheer boredom.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
In my Scrubs world, you the janitor and the and
the and the minister in Bahammad's are the same guy.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, that makes sense. Probably, By the way, my favorite
cameo I put myself in was there was an episode
where other people that the B team had the voiceover.
It was Christa and the Todd and Sam Lloyd all
had voiceovers in one episode and Chris. We're in the
coffee place. I was going to get a call coffee

(30:00):
and she says the reason that she was such a
horrible person is that her parents were very mean to her.
And you can actually hear me in the background in
the line, but apparently her parents were very mean.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Oh yeah, we did that one. We did that episode.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
And by the way, that was nobody even knew.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I was going to say it's off, Mike, because I
just walked in there and said that I was very
It was probably my proudest camera. Whatever we do together
is going to have to have a component that I'm
allowed to walk in and say something what I feel like.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay, those of you, those of you prepared to pitch
your ideas, write in random appearance as a built I
love that all your random appearances have to do with
you going to the kitchen to get a snack.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
I'm in the show whenever I was really hungry.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yes, I remember the John but Juice Face. Do you
remember the John but Juice Face? Where you came to
set every morning with the John but Juice That was
like three years in the room. Yeah, and then we
put it.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
We put that whole thing in the show because I
was weird about which one I liked, and I think
we had you saying that I can't remember what.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
It was orange goo goo orange, which.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Is not a smoothie flavor, but came out.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
So Bill, I don't know if you remember this, but
after you loot the gift shop because Cox has screamed
at everyone to go, a plant stands up and runs animated.
An animated plant longs down.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
One of the top five worst things we've ever done.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, and by the way, it's so stort random.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Ask me if the animation is very good.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Is the animation a good, Bill, No, it's horrible. It's
really bad to this day and age Donald could have
done the stop motion and would looked really fucking awesome.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
By the way, Donald's stop motions getting good.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I'm working on it.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
He leveled up and I'm.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Working on it. I'm working on it.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Why is Colonel Doctor never invited to any Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
There's a really you just had an episode where Sarah,
really this is Colonel Doctor in terms of her wedding invites,
And in this episode, Jordan, this is Colonel Doctor to
be invited to the baptism. The poor guy gets a
lot of hate in the hospital.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
By the way, you know that you remember who Colonel
Doctors's son is. It's Lloyd, Yes, Mike Schwartz, a meth
addicted bad You guys, remember what Colonel Doctor's.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Real name is? Coleman.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
You're talking to to guys, we're just watched most of
the Scrubs series.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Bill.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
It's Cole Slot and Lloyd Swasky.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
And Lloyd Slowsky, Lloyd Slosky.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Mike Schwartz. Mike Schwartz has a few laughs in this
episode because he's to remind you that janitors replaced Doug.
I believe place.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Johnny Castle is very funny on the outskirts watching, you know,
watching from the outside in.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Let's just remind you audience of a few plot points here.
So the janitor in this episode has has been invited
to Sarah's wedding at Elliott's wedding, and he's so shocked.
He in fact, she hugs him. And I don't think
we've ever seen or do ever see the janitor. Oh
maybe other than lady. We don't ever see him hug
anybody else.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
He hugs Carl up, but not really hugging.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
He's trying.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
He hugs her and picks her up and shakes her
back and forth, thank you for being in the picture.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Okay, that's right, that's right, that's right. But he gets
a hug from Blonde doctor who we we know he
has a special place in his heart and Blonde and
then so then he assembles the brain Trust to figure
out how what he can get her as a wedding present.
And he's decided to kick Doug out of the brain
Trust and replace Doug with Lloyd Lloyd Sluwsky.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Yeah, yes, he never he never thought Doug was offering
that much to the brain Trust.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah right.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
In fact, the brain Trust we learned to have special pagers,
and he asked Doug to return the special pager.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Do you know who my favorite brain Trust member was
that we had trouble getting back because I don't even
know if she was acting or doing other things.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Crazy Margo, Yeah, crazy Eyes Margo did disappear.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah, it was they all did. So did Troy. Troy's gone.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Troy's gone. Troy was by the way, the brain Trust
was always evolving, uh, and it always gave me great
joy to see it. Every time.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
I think tarn was in the brain Trust for a second,
we haven't.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Gotten to Tarran yet. I can't wait for this.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Must be season seven, season seven.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Here we go either season seven or eight, one or
the other.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
So there's a joke about how couples can finish each
other's sentences, and we think it's gonna be car but
then it's me Donald, I mean, and I tell you
that I hit it good, rowdy style. You got to
look out because it's dangerous.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I ain't notting happened to that baby.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah, that's talking about having intercourse with a very pregnant woman.
Donald's an expert in knowing uh wow, how how to
be careful wow sex? Kids?

Speaker 5 (35:06):
Was doctor Cox's kids confirmation in this.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Uh the baptism Baptist Baptist?

Speaker 5 (35:15):
Was that like with the in the sun and do
we do?

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Because I think? And then do we still?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Do we still?

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Was that with Cheryl Hines or was that a different one?

Speaker 2 (35:22):
That's a different one one.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
This is what this is with little j d Oh.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, Jordan Is is really fucking with Cox in this episode.
And she's made jd uh me Jennifer Dillon Jennifer, but
she's made Yeah, she made me the godfather. And Cox
will do anything he can to change this. He's he's
just promising, and she's trying to negotiate with Jordan. He's
trying to negotiate with jd.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
If I remember correctly, you just said can she be
named Jennifer Dillon and she said sure?

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Why not? I think so happened yet, that is what happened.
That's because he didn't show up for something and you
were there.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
Yeah, I think he missed the birth.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah right, And Jordan is just taking such glee and
kissing Perry off.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
And the baby's big already. Wow, yeah, it's only been
two episodes. The baby's sitting.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
You guys ever talked about this on TV? It's you
got two choices, either the baby's big or like. I
also don't like covering a one year old baby with
fake viscous stuff. When it's born, it's always baby.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
You know. But you have to do that because you
obviously can't use a newborn. You have to use a
young baby. And they put this like jelly on it
to make it look you can't use the fake baby.
The fake baby looks so bad.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
It's terrifying, you know what.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
I can't believe we didn't do on a show that
had fantasies.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Is the fact that we never did a baby being born,
and the fantasy of it having either Donald's or your face, Zach,
and just being one of you already on a baby.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Do we have was the special effects level. I mean
we had a plan.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
We remember float Floating and Doctor is just Zach going
around like.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, it was fun to shoot floating head Doctor because
I would just put the green screen suit on and
just bop around.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Didn't you wear that?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
On?

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Conan?

Speaker 2 (37:21):
That was when I when I had done Oz the
Great and Powerful, and I was talking about being the
the you know, the the little bell hop monkey sidekick.
I we did a whole bit about how I. Conan
asked how he did it, and I said, you know,
they had a puppet and everything, but most of the
time it was it was better for the other actors,
so they just acted on me, acted off with me.

(37:41):
So I just wore like a green screen suit and
like duck down and then and then we did a
whole bit where.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
The green screen suit was very revealing.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Snug. I remember snug.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I remember the photos that are online. Are you covering
up your junk with your hands?

Speaker 5 (37:57):
I remember being snug and very cold apparently.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I remember I made a joke to him because I
was nervous. I was self conscious about being in the onesie,
and I said, I'm going to cover it because I
don't want the audience to see my moose knuckle. And
he had never heard that term, so he started cracking
up at moose knuckles.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Proud Moments, crowd moments of your Earth.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
It was really funny. There's a really funny gift of
or maybe it's a videot but of me like air
humping in the green screen suit on Conan and Andy Richter,
and Conan's faces are so funny. They're both like they
both like look away, all right. The gift ideas. Ted's

(38:47):
gift idea for blonde Doctor's wedding is that he got
his mom quote the weird birth control thing that they
sew under your armskin.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah that's funny because he got it for his mom.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, and his mom loves it. Apparently.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Apparently is a great gift Happy Birthday.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Lloyd suggests robbing someone's home and bringing all the all
of the houses contents as the wedding gifts.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Okay, I wrote this down and I hope I'm not
skipping too for I hope I'm not skipping your head.
You're not my mom, Jim?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Is that is that?

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Okay? Okay, all right, next time, let's say let's.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
That's fine to wait. I just wanted to say that
real quickly, that the urologist that Kelso hates and is
fine re hiring Kim because he hates the urologist on
scrubs Wicki says, is Mike Henry, who was the voice
of Cleveland Brown.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
Yep, he was friends with you and Garrett from Family Guy.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Oh god, it got it.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
I didn't know that, but that was uh and.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
He had the was there and was very popular because
he had done You could still find this on the internet.
I don't know if you guys remember it he started.
It would have been huge now before things really like
had TikTok and funny Virals. He invented a fake TV
show called You've Been Kicked in the Nuts.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah, I remember that, you just got Kicked in the nuts.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
And the whole thing was he Mike Henry in a
in a wig or it would run up and kick
people in the nuts and they would chase him to
try and beat him up, and uh uh he would
interrupt him, but mam, mam, mam, he's been kicked in
the nuts and you're pointing camera and then the guy
or girl who got kicked in the nuts would be
so happy that they were on the TV show.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
By the way I saw it.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
But go go online later and just do you've been
kicked in the nuts? You'll And then Neil does it.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
I think Neil does a couple of them too. Neil's
like all we all did.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
A bunch of us, did him.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
They were a huge comedy writers back in the day.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
You just got kicking the nuts.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
I should give a shout out Neil Goldman because he's
one of Bill's main writers on one of his new
shows and I got Shrinking. Yeah, sorry, I should say
he's show running the new show Shrinking. And I just
got to spend a lot of time with him when
I was directing, and he's so funny and such a
good dude.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, so funny. So and you guys remember him from
years and he was one of the people that stayed
I think almost the whole way. I mean they left
before season nine, but they stayed through eight years.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
He's also he's also he's also one of the writers
I mean a few of the writers have done this,
but he's also one of the writers that's had major
success after where he's gone on to show run and
create his own shows on other networks.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
And well, the original staff of that show, almost everybody
created their own show or ran another great show, or
won Emmy's for something else. They were all that, the
original staff that shows all rock stars.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
I just did want to Gabby. I just did one
of Gabby shows I did.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Did you do the one?

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah, House Pets? Yeah, yeah, very funny man, very funny,
a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Yeah, Neil, I said, we got to have you on
the podcast, and he goes, what podcasts?

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Right, yeah, right, No, he was doing a bit every time.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
That's just how he rolls.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
He literally listens to see if his name ever gets back.
He's being delighted that he got a shout out in
this one. All right, JD approaches the new nurses Stan
and says, hey, Roger rerun. Probably the most mentioned sitcom
in the entire run of No.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Guys is What's Happening neck and neck with Sanford and Son.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Right, but What's Happening does get a lot of shout outs,
including a cameo from from Rerun.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, r I P man.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
He was awesome that day.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
By the way, you guys watch that.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
So many crew members snuck into that big dancing fantasy.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, amazing everybody. Spiller Spiller, who is an avid listener
our one of our favorite directors, Michael Spiller, is in there.
He was obviously directing that episode. He's got he's got
the outfit on.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
If he wasn't directing that episode, it's a new level
of intrusion.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
That just that day I heard rerun Berry's in there.
I gotta get in the picture.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
But yeah, hey, hey, hey, what's happening? Raj was probably
neck and neck with Safford and Son. You forget, like
even in Donald's Brain Fantasy with uh, Carla and Heather
Graham and Sarah all in there and we're inside Donald's brain.
The background music is the Safford and Sun theme song.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
That was my favorite. It really was my It really
was my favorite show, which one What's happening? He Safford Son,
What's happening? It was my favorite show as a kid.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
It was great.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
I'm gonna tell Mama, Yeah, I'll tell mom.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
These kids today will never know the genius of what's happening.
So Carla asked, Elliott, did you do that thing that
all guys want us to do?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
What is this thing?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Wait before I think it's meant to be.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
I can remember, I can remember somebody's finished the setup.
You finished.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
There's writers from talking about this.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
I assume it's meant to be just a left up
for interpretation for everyone's mind. I actually threesome gets discounted
because you see later that there's not it's not a
thrisome But she says, did you do that thing all
guys want us to do but we swore we'd never do?

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Well. She says that because Keith's acting, Keith's acting like
a freaking like whatever she wants him to do, he's
doing it, and he's doing it happily to us.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Carla says, no, I'm saving that bullet for a diamond
tennis bracelet. Now, later on in the episode, Carla is
proudly wearing a diamond tennis in the bed. So, now, build,
am I correct that you wanted the audience to just
insert whatever thing that they know.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Punished one of my Yes, it's one of my favorite
things about sexual in comedy, and this is not the
most famous version of this. I have been asked so
many times what Jake character played by Josh Randall, whispered
to Elliott before and we needed Elliott read to break

(45:18):
up with this character. Jake was on the show, ed,
Josh Randley's a funny actor, and we couldn't think of
why so she and if you remember back in that
episode she said, we finally came up with she should say,
you should be able to tell me what your fantasies
are and what you would really like us to do together. Okay,
and then we cut to he's forged to whisper, and

(45:41):
we cut outside. She's walking out, gone, we're done.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Oh my god, Jake, I remember that, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
And that's when we decided that anytime we're stuck like that,
it's better to say, like everybody knows what it is,
and then just with the audience decide and then you
can judge when you meet people how disturbed they are.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Right. But also it allows you to not say anything
to Naughty on NBC. I guess it gets you around.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
No, because your imagination automatically doc's bad man, I will say.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
This time, you guys have said it.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
All I know is that Carl Gottard Tennison, you.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
Guys have said it before, and I don't know if
I'm proud or not proud. I feel for Network Television
that Scrubs is hop five filthiest shows ever.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
It is, Oh dude, there, I mean, I can't believe
that when people are tell me they're watching this with
their kids, because I'm watching it now at forty seven
and I'm like, oh my god, I would never watch
this with my kid.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
I tell my daughters and I tell my daughter and
my son to leave the room. Yeah, put it on
you guys. Guys got to get out of here.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
I think Matt Tarsis told me he was all proud
that his like thirteen year old was watching the show
at the time, and then he was like, oh, it's
kind I feel proud. He's kind of circling back and
watching one of my shows. And then he walked in
the room and like walked right account because it was
so uncomfortable. Rough well, I you know, you know, to
remind the audience that at the time there was no streaming.

(47:09):
There was there was the half hour comedy was was
as I as I remember, solely on Network TV, and
you were trying to see how far you could push it.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Well, we had not, not just for being filthy, for
filthy's sake, but remember I would say the number one
show was Will and Grace. They pushed it.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
They pushed it real far far. I mean we did.
We did have bulge jiggle in this episode. But Will
and Grace did push it.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Oh yeah, we got and I believe, Oh it's not
the final bulge because this bill well, let's just get
to it because we'll we'll circle back to the stuff.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Just remember one of the rules of this show that
I said earlier. We had beautiful women female actresses on
this show, and uh and very handsome men well, and
such a strong diverse writing staff that we said, if
we're going to enter the world of sex and sex comedy.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
And we're going to show girls and underwear doing.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Sexy thing, it had to be equal opportunity representation in
the filthiness and in the revealing this.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
So there's just as much. By the way Todd and
Banana hammocks exactly what I was just talking about, I
know it exists.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Because or like you can't just go, oh, Sarah, you
got to be in a bra and underwear in this,
you know without going donald, you have to be.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Sock.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
I was in the sock too. It works.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Well, all I know is there was a bit of
jiggle with the bulge.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Well let's talk about the bulge. We'll come back to
we were jumping him, but we'll come back. So the
janitor gets everyone together in the in the break room,
the brain trust and his scenario. They're trying to they
kidnap Keith and they're trying to run him through uh being,
trying to make sure there's gonna be a good husband
to Elliott. Now, the first thing is he says an example,

(48:59):
he used an example, how are you gonna be if
she loses the ability to use vowels? Gives an example
of her talking.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
He goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, oh yeah,
he goes, he goes, that's wait. First it goes, you'd
be the janitor, I'll be Keith. All right, ready, go
you gotta do the first part where he goes, how
are you gonna do when he wakes.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
To behave if she how are you gonna behave if
she loses the ability to use vowels?

Speaker 1 (49:31):
That's ridiculous? And then he goes, oh yeah, then he goes,
he goes, I find that. I find that to be
a very poor answer from when somebody wakes up and
they say I can't even do the ship.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
I mean, he's just made up by Neil, but it's like.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
I can't do it because I'm saying and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
But he was able to Oh, it's Neil being hilarious. Man.
So wait, that's the first thing. And then the janitor
comes up with a rehearsal scenario, and the janitor's uh
sets up the scenario where Keith has brought home his
gay ultimate frisbee teammate lands Play played by Todd Tod.

(50:20):
Rob goes, I should probably take my pants off.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
And the janitor goes, wait for your queue.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Waiting for your queue, and then Rob sits down next
to ke to Keith, and he stands up and he
pulls off like bell Crow pulls off the fucking pants
and he's wearing his sparkled regal bulgy sparkled red banana. Ha.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Yes, of course he is.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
And there's definitely jingle.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
There's definitely there's no way you get away with that.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Not real jiggle, but there's definitely jiggle.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
No, I think it's real. I think he's well doubted. Bill.
I have to tell you, I thought this was I
thought this was the season we moved to ABC after,
and I was like, this is definitely why they said
no more.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Odds. Banana Hammock was never visible on ABC. He always
had to be shot from the waist up.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
And by the way, this is.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Also because I mean, I'm sure people figure it out
by now, but the writers had long ago decided that
Todd was We didn't even say bisexual. We said at
one time, I think we said metrosexual. That he will
have sex with.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Anything, anything. But I don't know if that's the right.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
What is the right Joel, you're open, if you're open
to everything, Joel, you're fluid, right, that's the right way
to say.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
You could say fluid. You might say Polly actual relationships
with people.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Yes, young and old. Age. He doesn't care about age.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
You just care about God respects hot regardless of age
or gender. He said that on the show.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Wait, I want to say the funniest, the hardest I
laughed was when after the Banana Hamman's revealed, you cut
to Lloyd and he wins. He literally goes like this.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
That was real reaction, not a character reaction.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
It was so funny.

Speaker 5 (52:30):
Did you guys know Rob is the type of guy
that would do it for his off camera as we.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
He's such a giving actor that he would reveal the
banana having for off camera. Doug suggests, let's circle back.
Doug suggests a tour in the wine country for his gift,
and and then Ted says, we can't control what kind
of husband he's going to be. And then Janitor puts
on sunglasses and says, or can.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
We who has the sunglasses on their head? Somebody has
a sunglasso. He goes, let me borrow your sunglasses real quick,
and he puts them on just so he could do that, and.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Then he goes and then he says, repeat it, and
so Sam repeats it exactly the same.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Almost, he almost doesn't exactly the same. He's late on
the queue with his with his hand, but he realizes
he's late to yo Sam Lloyd dude genius, Sam genius, dude, genius.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Man almost having Sam was having fun this episode. He
was like he was, he was he was extra playing.
He was funny. Anyway, he repeats the line the janitor
does it with the sunglasses. Uh can we see j
D writing in his Unicorn journal you have Jordans call
me Nancy, no chin, which I found hurtful even this
years later.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Buddy, buddy, you.

Speaker 5 (53:56):
Have more of a chin than I do.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Right now, your chin looks good.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Don't have that. You know I don't have that much
of a chin.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
You turn when you turn sideways, You're right, you don't.
But straight up, thank you, Zach.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
You and I can't be will angled, guys.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
We have. I once had a critic right about me,
the weak chinned breath. Oh good. It was so hard.
It made me so sad. But then here I am
and my best friends having a character call me Nancy.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
That was it.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
That was about JD, the character, not about.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Okay, what's that story? I know, I know you meant it.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Rich I have'll call, I'll call eventually. That was a
horrible play, as good as anybody could be in it.
That was That's Richard's for you, guys. Richard kind complimented
Sarah Chalk. I won't say which one. And he's so

(55:01):
honest that Sarah said, what'd you think? And he goes, oh,
that was a horrible play. Just horrible, but you were
as good as anyone could be in it.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Bill's first a D on The Harrison Ford Show is
a friend of Bill's and also one of Richard Kaine's
best friends. And I sent Richard a picture of he
and I a selfie that I took with Ben is
his name, and I sent it to Richard and I said,
we're on the Harrison Ford Show, and Richard writes back,

(55:41):
Harrison looks great, solid.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
I wanted him to play my father in this movie
I'm doing, and he couldn't work out the dates. But
it was almost going to do it. And I've read
the entire movie with his with the dad being his voice. Oh,
it should have been him, and now no one can
ever live up to that voice being my father.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
I just got a random message from somebody else that
you should have on the show. I won't read it,
but I was trying to find it because he was
on this. Have you had Alan ruck on yet?

Speaker 2 (56:28):
No, we don't have.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
What he do it.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
Yeah, he's crushing on succession, by the way.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Yeah, he's so good. That shows awesome and such a
really good all right, so let's just keep going. JD
says he's going to go right in his journal, I'm
so tired, I could use a naptism because he's trying
to rhyme baptism. And then he goes, I should, and
he goes, I'm gonna use that, and he goes, I

(56:55):
should write down pause for laughs, so I don't forget
to because he's so sure that the naptism joke's.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Going to crush.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
Yeah, that was almost lifted.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I'll tell you, guys, a funny joke that was almost
lifted from an episode of Friends and someone else wrote
It's not me. It was so funny, but it was
Matt LeBlanc's character who was a bad actor. Do you
guys remember this as actors, you'd love this. They had him,
they had him doing an audition and he had to
do bad in it, you know what I mean. And
so he's got his script like this and he actually goes, uh,

(57:30):
that wasn't me, and I don't care what you say.
Long pause. So now we're what hey, guys, guys, guys,
we got to go to a quick commercial, quick commercial.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
That we actually did have to. We actually did have
to go to a commercial. So Bill say thank you
for throwing he frowned upon the guests throwing the commercial.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
I like that product, I use it, I like how,
I like how.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I'm like no, Bill, and then Dale was like, we
actually do need to do all right. So circling back,
this is when Sam yells, now, I ran on Scrubs
Wiki that this guy who plays the other lawyer was
a famous TV lawyer, advertising lawyer in fact, at the
time of the airing. I assume this is how you

(58:38):
found him, Bill. He was the largest TV lawyer advertiser guy.
And so the woman is asked to pick between him
and Sam to be her lawyer. And I'm saying you
did a cameo with I guess a guy who was
a famous advertising TV lawyer, and and the woman is

(58:58):
trying to choose between him and and Sam ted and
uh Ted braggs. My mom calls me thunder right, and
she chooses the other guy and the other guy tough
break thunder.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
And my mom, Jim Mom.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
I got a cool thing about this episode that you
might think is back towards the end.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Are we close to the end.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
Yes, We're now going to talk about JD and Elliott
in bed together. I don't know how they got in
bed together. They were in separate bunks talking about how
they both felt trapped, and now all of a sudden
we cut back and there's been some missing dialogue because
now we're now they're in a single bed together cuddling.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Well, no, they were my eyes are my eyes going bad? Though?
Was that fog? Was it like out of focus? Like foggy?

Speaker 2 (59:49):
I think there was a filter on it to make
it look romantic or something else.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
A filter.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
It's here's what was more interesting. There's two things that
are fascinating by this.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
One is member. I thought forever this show would, in
any way, shape or form, be about will Elliott and
jd end up together?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
And the rest of the writers, well, you lost the
battle with yourself built Well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
The rest of the writers were like, it's inevitable. Remember
I tried to blow it up the first year and
all that stuff. And so we we in the in
that's the break room we'd established a thousand times, and
we're like, these two are both fucking up here, So
why can't they both end up just shooting the ship
and talking like it's innocuous? And then I had to
I told Christa she had to find a perfect song

(01:00:33):
that built to a huge, huge, huge crescendo because I said,
if we're gonna do it, we're gonna fuck with the
fans and have it seem like they're on the verge
of hooking up furious and then just go to Yeah. Yeah,
that song was perfect. It's Alive with the Glory of Love.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Yeah, you're just thing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
If you listen to the song, it's about a love
story in the concentration camps. Uh so it's this thing
about music. Look up the words right now and uh
you'll see Alive with the Glory. But it was perfect
because it is about longing and whether or not you
can be together. And christ have played it for me

(01:01:13):
and I'm like, oh, I don't know because of the words,
if we can use this. We edited some of that
part out and I thought it was perfect because it
just and then it goes black. I thought it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Yeah, it was a good it was It was well
done and it definitely builds up and I was like, oh,
they're gonn kiss, They're Gonakis, They're going kiss and then
you hard cut to black and it's like, that's a
that's a good way to end the season.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
Yeah, And while we see your two significant others being alone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I know we're horrible people.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Yeah, you guys got a little bit of of horrible
in you. You got a little bit of horrible in you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
I mean the audience is rooting for it, obviously, but.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
The audience got the audience got a little bit of
horrible in them too. Loa, let's just be honest, because
if you're rooting for this, if you're rooting for this
knowing what's at stake on the other side, all right, of.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Course, but you but you have you, that's not how
you appreciate something the audience is going. I'm so invested
in these two. I love them. They're both about I
audience member think they're both about to make big mistakes,
both of them, and they should be together. You know,
it's all it's all. It's all Bills and his team's
great writing that makes the audience so invested in them

(01:02:22):
and wants them to be together.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Well, can I just tell you, guys the thing about
the music? So I brought up the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
I think it's interesting because sometimes songs match perfectly for
lyrically for a show or a moment, but sometimes it's
about an emotional feeling you get. Yeah, Alive with the
glory of love. If you listen to it again, it
says the opening verson when I watch you want to
do you right where you're standing, which is a great start,
but it says right in the foyer on the start

(01:02:46):
day point view of the whole ghetto, the boot stomped meadows,
and then the refrain is I won't let them take you.
Won't let them take you, Hella. So it's literally about.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Wow, I nelverad knew that a couple in love.

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
In a concentration camp. But the feeling for ours it's
a great song, and the feeling for our show was
so right. We did it anyways and it was really interesting.
So I always expected to get bumped back from that
from people going, oh my.

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
God, what are the lyrics? But I just thought the
song was amensing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
You might you might, you know if you did it
today in the era of everyone opining on on everything.
But back in the day, people you cut if you
cut the lyrics craftily knowing whatever we did.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
But my advice go, wasn't that song alive with the
glory of love? By saying anything, it's really good?

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
By say anything, say anything like the Genius movie. Hey, everybody.
That is season six. I want to thank our very
special guest, the creator of the universe of Scrubs, mister
Bill Lawrence.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
But before we go, Before we go, we have to
cut to one quick commercial. You guys, no.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Audience. I don't think the audience isn't going to like
the extra break joke that long.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Well, they're gonna have to do it in this episode.

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
By the way, Wait, Zach, Zach, are you done with
the extra break joke?

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Yes, I'm very done with the extra break joke.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
I so wish i'd recorded.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
This is why I'm not done with it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
So everybody, just to remind you, you will be a
little break and Joel, when does seven to one, which
we did at a drive in, is gonna hair when
Joel September thirteenth. September thirteenth, and then we are going
to be on break until October. I believe right, Jill,
that is correct.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
And I will say now, no matter what, in October,
I will debut my new character. Zach will not know
who it is. Dan Old Donald and I will talk
about it beforehand and we'll see if Zach can see
it coming, he will forget it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Okay, Also, get your pitches ready, guys, get your pitches
ready for the next project.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Go away. That might be after Scrubs is done. That
might be your next podcast, the making of Bill Donald
Zach Show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Yeah. Hey, that's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
We'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
That's the way we're really looking for. What when we're
dounbind Scrubs? But the show is going to be? How great?
It would be a podcast about the behind the scenes
making of the new Zach and Donald TV show with
Bill Lawrence's I like that a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
I'm in.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
I mean, we should probably do spin City first, but I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Like that too. I like it. Okay, let's go spin
City on. I like the idea of Spence City. There's
black people in spin City.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Yeah.

By the way, the only the only really really white
show I did was Cougar Tun Was that really white?
