Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, Zack and Donald, here we have a bit
of bad news. It was just brought to our attention
that Sam Lloyd, who plays Ted the lawyer on our show,
passed away. And for me, this is this is really,
this is this is heartbreaking. Sam was a very very

(00:22):
amazing person and he used to he had a we
talked about it on the podcast, but he was a
part of a band called the Blanks. And I remember
realizing that Sam wasn't just a really funny actor, but
he was also a really talented singer. And I played
basketball with him, and he was a very good basketball player.

(00:45):
And you know, he was also a good friend, and
he was the nicest man I think I've ever met.
He was so sweet and kind and just love to laugh.
I mean when you know, he would come on and
play that super nerdy lawyer character, but he would we
would all do crack up so hard with Sam. And
interestingly enough, he was a really good basketball player, right Donald,

(01:05):
I mean, I know, he was an amazing basketball player.
I remember I was. I used to play in this
league called the NBA Entertainment League. And the only qualification
that you needed to have to be in the NBA
Entertainment League was be in the entertainment industry, and I
would try to recruit Sam every Sunday to play for

(01:25):
my team, and he would say no, because the Patriots
are playing and I can't miss the Patriots play. And
I just thought he would be such like he would
be such a he would be such a secret weapon
because nobody would assume that Sam Lloyd could play basketball
that well. And he was assassin on the court. He
was a killer on the court. Yeah, And I like

(01:48):
his character. I know that he found love, true love
later in life and just had a baby and he
you know, this was caused by a tumor in his
brain and he had been in fighting in a long time.
And I actually saw him within the last six months
or so, and he looked great. He looked amazing, and
I didn't want to talk about you know, I stayed,

(02:09):
I danced around it because I didn't want to bring
up the subject if he didn't want to talk about it.
And he just looked fully recovered. And today he finally
lost his battle with cancer. Yes, it's heartbreaking. So um
we we we love him and uh and we know
the fans do, and so this is very sad. So
if you guys want to contribute to help his wife
and baby, I myself have already given to it, and

(02:32):
Joelle is going to let us know if anyone wants
the link could go fund Me is a little confusing,
so just search Sam Lloyd go fund me and you'll
find it and Joel will also put it in the
description of the episode this week. So we love you Sam,
We love you Sam, and uh and and I sir,
anyone listening here can attest to how hard that fella

(02:52):
made us laugh. And uh and I know for sure
that he made a difference in a lot of people's
lives because we all all need to laugh, and Sam
made us laugh. So now we're going to switch tones
and uh and in the spirit and honor of Sammy,
we were going to go into episode. So here we go.
We just did a sort of drinks thing where like,

(03:14):
you know, nine people get together, you make a special
cocktail and just kind of all shoot the shit over zoom.
It was fun. Wow, maybe we could do that to Giddy.
I wouldn't I wouldn't mind that at all. You know what,
speaking of drinking, it's come to my attention thanks to
social media that every time I say, you know what
I mean? Some people online are playing a drinking game.

(03:37):
And yeah, now here's the thing. I listen. We listen
to all the podcasts, right do you say you know
what I mean? A lot? I mean, I just that's
the way anyone. I don't know how anyone can make
it through the podcast without being on the floor drunk. Dude,
how does that happen? I think it's because I'm just
used to you. That's just the way you speak. You

(03:58):
always say that, or you know what I'm saying. You
know what I'm saying, right right, right. First of all,
I'm sorry, I didn't realize don't mess up, don't mess
up their drinking game. I'm still gonna say that ship,
But well, I can make it through the podcast. Whoever
has made it through the podcast after saying after me
saying you know what I mean, I'm sorry, but you
have a problem, right, and once quarantine is over, let's

(04:19):
address it. Well, I'm just honored that people are doing
drinking games related to the podcast. That's exciting. There's no
way anyone can make it through this podcast with me
saying you know what I mean without being so drunk
that they can't move anymore, there's no Well, let's do
an informal count. You guys how many times he says,
you know what I mean in this episode, and then

(04:40):
we'll know how drunk people are gonna get right on.
I like that idea. There's a lot of that idea.
If you guys aren't playing this game, now's the time
to get on board right every time. Two days gone
by to the live that you used to be. Let

(05:02):
the friendshipship never run raw like the wine friendship never.
Here's to do? And he to me, God, we gotta
really schedule that full name iss episode. I can't wait
for the lame EP. I know, and I want to

(05:24):
play Epenning and Cosette. You can be Javert. I want
to be Gavroche. You want all the major roles. Good evening,
dear Inspector, lovely evening, Mike, don't ust to be Javera.
Why does anybody ever want? I know this man, my friends,
his name's Inspector Javert. So don't believe a word he says,
because none of it's true. This only goes to show

(05:47):
what little people can do. Do you hear the people sing,
that's gonna be hard. We're gonna have to do every part.
Dan's gonna have a lot of mixing to do when
we do the big back one closer. But let's say
the best song in the world. Welcome to Fake Doctors,
Real Friends, Countesson Donald seven day, stories about show we

(06:08):
made about a bunch of docs and nurses, said stories.
So yeada around here? Are yea around here? M hm?

(06:29):
As he SIPs his wine, What are we drinking today?
You know, a lot of discussion wine wine, Okay, a
lot of discussion on what will Donald drink today? Because
it's just you shake it up. You had you had
a orange juice ticky yeah, and you had I just
love that in my mind. You're just going through an
empty liquor cabinet and seeing what's left. You know, I

(06:50):
made a supermarket run. I go. Yeah, I gloved up,
I masked up, and you know, got a bunch of
food and some libation for said accasion that we are
doing right now. I also, you know, Joe Rogan, one
of his sponsors is Alpha Brains. It's like this pill

(07:11):
that you take that you know helps you focus. So
Joe Rogan's marketing worked on you, and you bought it,
and I bought it. So do you feel smarter. I
don't know if I feel smarter, but I'm definitely more
conscious of how many times I'm gonna say you know
what I mean about that? All Right, Well, the real
test is if you say you know what I mean
or you know what I'm saying less and Joe Rogan's

(07:32):
magical pill is working on you, it could be a
placebo effect or could actually be real. If it is real,
Alpha Brain, we would love to market your product as well.
Oh my god, it's funny. Yeah, I've been. I've been
listening to podcasts more and more since we've been doing
this one, and it's funny hearing all the different things
people sell, and uh, yeah, there's a handful of products.
I'm like, I wanted to try too, because people are

(07:55):
like good, especially since a lot of people like I
imagine we are as we start to do advertising. We've
told iHeart and everyone, we only gonna want to sell
things that we really like or believe in. And so
when like, you know, Pete Holmes is telling you, like
honestly about this product he tried and really liked it,
I'm like, yeah, I want to try that, Like it's
like a genuine testimonial. And I've been walking around the

(08:16):
house and I'm like, there's things in my house that
are so good. I said to my gal, I said,
you know, I could do an ad for this sponge.
This sponge is so good. You always go back to dishes.
Look at you. I do so many dishes. I don't
know what it is about quarantine, but I do so
many dishes. I mean, does everyone else out there feel
like you're doing dishes for like a quarter of the day.

(08:38):
There's so many dishes. The worst part is is you
clean your kitchen only to cook in it right right
away again, you know what I mean. My dad told
me this story about he was he was in the
military and he had he was had dish duty, you know,
and he cleaned a pot that was like you know
that you'd literally feed an army with. It was like,
you know, a four foot pot or something. And he

(08:59):
said he spent hours and he'd finally get all the
grime off, and he finally was so proud of himself.
It was like a giant task. And he'd hang it
up on the hook, and just as he hung it up,
some guny would take it off and put it back
on the stud and that's how I feel at my house,
you know, anyway, But you're being fed. I'm being fed
very well. And I do feel like this isn't an ad.

(09:22):
But I'm telling you this scrub Daddy sponge, I could
do an ad for it. I really stand by and
when I look at my whole my whole palette of
tools for cleaning, all these pots and pans might go
to is the scrub Daddy. And coincidentally it's got Jace
fucker should be advertising with us. Joel call scrub Daddy.

(09:44):
Let's get into this, right, Janey bunkin rotus. Yeah, thanks, Yes,
Thanksgiving episode written by Jennet. You went to college with
Jane went to Northwestern so like me, so we know
that she's very smart. Did you guys go at the
same time we did. I don't think we really knew.
I think we were aquaintances there. I also, you know,
both Carrie Brothers and Josh Raiden went there, and I

(10:06):
knew them as acquaintances. Well, there are a lot of
people that went to Northwestern, dude. That's I know. There's
a whole Northwestern Hollywood mafia because they have a very
good film and TV program But It's funny. Two of
my best friends went there, and I was just barely
acquaintances with them there, and now we're as close as
close can be with you. You're the close friend that

(10:27):
didn't go to Northwestern. I love those guys too. Did
you go to the performing arts high School? By the way,
I didn't. I went to Professional Children's School. Shout out
to the Professional children School. You know, is that the
high school. No, I didn't get into the Fame High School.
I auditioned for it, and I tried to could picture
you dancing on a cab like they do, like Leroy
did in Fame. I would have loved to have been

(10:48):
Leroy and danced on top of a cab in any
type of Fame production. Growing up in New York City
and knowing that the school was right up the block
from where I lived. So you had the audition and
you didn't get in. I did not get in. You know,
auditioning is tough because it's like one moment and you
got to nail it. And this was you know, we're

(11:09):
all very young, and a lot of people prepared a
lot more than I did, and I thought I was
just gonna get by. I had already worked and everything
like that, and I thought I was going to get
by just on the fact that I was a working
actor already. And I remember really wanting to go to
that school and I didn't get into LaGuardia, and all
my friends got into LaGuardia, which is the Fame High
School in New York. And my mom was like, there's

(11:32):
another school called the Professional Children's School, but it's a
private school and if you go there, you're gonna have
to work and get jobs in New York to pay
for school. And I was like, Oh, that sounds way
more enticing than going and you know, I'd be a
professional already. And so throughout high school I did commercials

(11:54):
and stuff like that. So you paid for your own
so I could pay for my education. Yeah, that's interesting.
I never I never heard of someone who paid for
their own high school work. Well, I was. I had
already been working as an actor, so when I went
to that school, there were a bunch of kids like
me who did that. So, like, you look at the
people that went to that school, it's like Scarlett Johanson,
Malcolm Jamal Warner, I mean pretty much everybody that was

(12:16):
on The Cosby Show, went to that school. McAuley, Culkin, Sarah.
Some of these were you friends with some of these folks,
all of these people, you know, I remember, I remember
when I didn't know Scarlett becase Scarlett's a lot younger
than me. But I h you know, the year I
got there, Malcolm Jamal Warner and Tempest Bloodsoll had just
graduated and they were on The Cosby Show. And I

(12:37):
remember Anthony Michael Hall went there and I thought that
was the coolest thing ever because him and the other
kid from Weird Science went there, and that was one
of my favorite movies of all time me too, back
in the day. All right, let's get back to this.
So Janet, Yeah, you went to college with Yes, But
I want to talk about one more thing before that.
When you saw Fame and you saw Leroy Fame the movie,

(12:57):
were you like, oh my god, I want to be Leroy. No.
I was never like, oh my god, I want to
be Leroy because Leroy was a dancer and you weren't
really a dancer, although you are. No, that's not why.
Leroy was a very tough kid dude, and you know,
had a switchblade, had a bunch of knives under his
jacket and stuff like that, Like you know what I mean,
And you grew up in Hill's Kitchen, I mean, did you? Yeah? Absolutely,

(13:19):
I grew up in House Kitchen, and Hell's Kitchen is
a very tough neighborhood, and you know, there are a
lot of other very very very tough neighborhoods in New
York City. And so I just remember looking back at
Fame and being like, if I could be anybody, I
want to be Bruno because he played the music and
got to hang out with Irene Kara for the whole movie.

(13:41):
They were like tight and best friends because he had
the music and she could sing. And that's how the
song Fame comes about. Where Bruno's dad is in the
middle of the street for the children. If you're not following,
you need to watch a very sci film called Speaker.
How did he get those speakers to get that loud?
That's what I want to know. In the middle of
where ever you know the school was at the time,

(14:03):
his dad pulls up and Blair's Fame. I'm going and
out of know where people are danced come out of
the school and are dancing on top of the cab
and on top of all the cars. And I was
so young when I saw that movie, and I was like,
this is a real school, like you can dance in
the streets. Well, I mean I I don't know much

(14:24):
about the school because, as I said, I didn't get in.
Now those were one of the reasons why I wanted
to get and I just wanted to break out in
the middle of the song in the cafeteria, just like
out of nowhere, I'm hungry for steak, and you wanted
Debbie Allen to be giving you the monologue. I got
to meet Debbie Allen did for she didn't, but she
called me Leroy accidentally in the middle of the Oh

(14:46):
my god, you can check it out. Okay. So I
did this movie called Next Day Air and it's with
me most deeph Mike Epps, Wood Harris, A bunch of
people are in it Lauren London, like a bunch of
people are in it, right, And it takes place in Philadelphia,
and I'm a I deliver packages. So the name of
the movie's Next Day Era, and the name of the
company in the movie that I worked for was in

(15:08):
Da Right. And the manager of the company was Debbie Allen,
who played my mom, who gave me the job at
the company, right, my character's Momo, and we're doing the
scene and she's, you know, yelling at me, uh like
she did to Leroy all the time. And in the
middle of yelling at me, she goes Lee Roy Boy,

(15:31):
and I was like, what, wow? I mean, did you
think it was an honor? I would have thought it
was an honor. I was so excited and so happy
that I broke out into song. Do you start where
you start singing? Fame? I'm gonna live forever. I knew
right then and there, that's incredible. I mean, what an honor? Yeah,
it was amazing. I think it's in the I think

(15:52):
it's in If they do the gag reel in the
credits like most movie, like a lot of movies do,
then it's there, or it might be on the DVD
or whatever it is. Yeah, out seek out the gag
reel of Next Day Air and you get to see
Debbie Allen call Donald Leroy, Yes, best day of my life?

(16:13):
Can we get in the episode? For God's sakes? Absolutely?
Melody Keane directed it. Alody only directed one episode of Scrubs,
but U but did lots of other shows. Just looking
at her credits on IMDb. She's one many many a
show and had Emmy nominations for La Law and she
uh did a lot of Glee, but with us, she
was only one around once. You know, the first thing

(16:35):
that happens in this episode that is beautiful is Deontay
Gordon at sixteen seconds in immediately as you hand him,
he hands you a drink. As a matter of fact,
he does as you walk into a bar. That was
also very interesting for me because around that time I
was definitely your best wing man when it came to
going out life talk about real life, because I was

(16:56):
nerdy and had no game, and this sounds I don't
know if you had no game, but well I was
shyer than you, and you were very I just had
been out. I just had been in Hollywood a little
bit longer as as a working actor than you had.
At that moment in time, you were very confident. And
the scene is definitely in the spirit of our real lives.

(17:18):
But wait before we get to you chatting up for
wing manning for me, So you guys, at sixteen seconds,
the guy who hands me a beer is Deontay Gordon,
and he not only was he Donald's stand in for
the entire run of the show. But he was a
very good friend of ours, is a good friend of ours,
and Donald plays golf of them still all the time. Actually,
Deontay and I met on Clueless, the television show, and

(17:42):
he wasn't my standing but he did background on that one,
and then he went over and was doing stand in
work over on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. And when I
went and did Sabrina the Teenage Witch, he was my
stand in for that, and I had known him from
doing Clueless, and I was like, dude, if I get
anything out, you're coming with me. So he stood. He

(18:03):
stood in for me for quite a few So for
those of you don't know, the stand ins are what happens.
We we block out, We do figure out where we're
gonna go and all where we're all gonna stand in rehearsal,
and where the cameras are gonna move. They put in
marks on the ground. And then while we go off
and go to hair, makeup or do other learn our
lines and do other stuff, the stand ins stand in

(18:25):
our places and do all the blockings so that the
cameraman can light them and can can practice the camera
moves and all that stuff, and they're supposed to be
roughly your skin tone and roughly your same height. Well,
but because Dehonte was Donald's friend, he was standing in
for him. But Deonte literally was so much shorter than
Donald that they built special shoes for him. I don't
know how high those platforms were. Do you remember he

(18:46):
would wear them? Yeah, well, him and JK wore them too,
for when because j K would stand in for Cocks
and he would stand in for the janitor. So he
had special shoes for when he had to stand in
for the janitor, right exactly. And and yeah, and they
made it so that was my height because he's a
little bit shorter than I am. Yeah, and I remember
one night we were filming an episode, the Christmas episode

(19:07):
where he has to run, and they made him run
in those damn shoes, and I was like, dude, please
don't Tae, don't die, dude. I was funny watching those
guys in their giant platform boots looking like Frankenstein the
Frankenstein shoes. So yeah, So Deontay Gordon, man, holy cow,
he's a great guy. And you know the standings, the
standings for all all of our stand ins for for

(19:30):
the main cast were there all the time, and we
were became really good friends with them, and we would
go out to bars with them and we would hang
out with them. And I still hang out with Deontay.
He and I played golf quite a bit. Rabbidu was
my standing and we um and we could never find him,
so we made up a song. Do you remember the song? Rabe? Uh?

(19:54):
You know? Deontay was always punctual, so we'd but Scott Harris,
who was one of our first ads, and Frank Cameron,
who's better known as doctor Mickhead. We all play golf together.
Well not right now because we're quarantined. I hope I
didn't say Frank's last name wrong because I called him

(20:14):
Frank Mickhead all the time. But any Frank Mickhead to
his face, absolutely do that. Mickhead is a big deal, dude, Mickhead.
Does Mickhead get recordnigs out in the world? The people
go Mickhead when he goes. I'm sure when he goes
to his home. He's from Canada originally. I bet you
didn't know who he is in Canada, and I bet
you there are a lot of Scrubs fans if they

(20:35):
saw him. They'd be like, holy shit, that's Mickhead. I
was watching a movie and a Beard Fasse was prominently
featured as a background person. I was some Skyfall. He's
in Skyfall on an airplane. No, he's on a train.
I think it was a David Fincher movie, um, one
of the big David Fincher movies. And there's an airplane

(20:56):
and the camera is going into the star whoever it is,
and he goes right by Beard Fusse, and I was
like screamed. I was like, Beard Fusse, Yeah, I think
it might. I truly believe it might have been Skyfall.
But uh yeah, So I played golf with those guys
and we get it in Mickhead is a really good golfer.
He's and so Scott Harris believe it or not? Really
yeah and so and so are you Deonte? I know

(21:18):
you're listening right now. You're a good golfer. Two yes, YouTube, Deonte.
You know I told everyone in the audience about lens
spiking and how I and I happened to find it.
At nineteen seconds in there's a guy in a yellow shirt.
You're gonna see it bam right into the lens bam,
the show barely started someone spiking the lens. Also, yeah,
go ahead, do you remember what up? Dope? Yeah? What

(21:42):
is that? I don't know where we started, but we
started doing that, and it was one of those things
that we would do to annoy the crew or maybe
even the directors, where we would always be like, who dope?
And you do it in the episode it right here
when I walk in and you say what up? I

(22:05):
laughed when I go gife, when I see the pretty
girl your Homer Simpson. Yeah, it's like it's yeah, it's
exactly like that. It might vo you're here. Um. Also
fat Albert cast, fat Albert cast, Holy cow. Now I

(22:26):
didn't really know. I know what fat Albert is, but
I never watched it. Did you watch it? I grew
up on Fat Albert, fat Albert and the Brown Hornet.
That was the So fat Albert was the show. And
inside of the show fat Albert they would jet to
the clubhouse in the Junkyard to watch the Brown Hornet,
which was another show, but this one's about a superhero. Uh,

(22:49):
And so fat Albert and the gang after they did
like it was like Bill Cosby was like, not only
is fat Albert gonna be a prominent story on The
Fat Albert Show, but we're gonna toroduce another story called
the Brown Hornet, and the Brown Hornet was a superhero. Obviously.
I used to love Fat Albert and the Cosby kids.

(23:10):
What would what would? What would? Know? Cosby would do?
How many of the voices? He did all of them?
I think. I don't know about all of them, but
he did most of them. I don't know if he
did I don't know if he did Rudy, but he
definitely did Fat Albert personation. Bill Cosby definitely did much
mouth mighty folks, me, are you going to me? The bargain,

(23:31):
the base moment, the Bible maybe the biggest basement and
what would happen in an episode of Fat Albert? Like
what was the premise they were just getting through? They
went through? Well, yeah, but it was also let lessons,
uh you know what I mean? You know, regardless of
what people might think of Bill Cosby right now and
how they you know, view him, right we don't talk

(23:54):
about we're not talking about we learned about. But back
in the day, educational wise, he was you know, he
educated a lot of young people. You know, there were
picture pages. There was so many things, so the show
was educational for young absolutely absolutely. I used to love
Bill Cosby. And the one thing was Rudy, if I'm right,

(24:16):
if I'm if I remember correctly, Rudy was the one
that hung out with these guys who had a little
bit of money. Already everybody else's broke except for Rudy.
So when they would go to the Junkyard, there were
a Junkyard band, right, And so when they would cut
to the Junkyard band, Rudy actually had an electric guitar
and he would be jamming with them while everybody else
is playing trash from the Junkyard, right. But were they

(24:37):
good on the trash when they play? Oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean, if you ever listen to Fat Albert, what
did you say? Build a lot of voices, but not all.
If you ever watched Fat Albert, the music was always
on point. It was for me, it was really awesome
to see brown people, to see black people on television
during you know, the Smurfs and and all of these

(24:58):
other shows where it wasn't where you couldn't see that
right exactly. And then they made a movie, a live
action movie with Keenan. Yes, I never saw it. I mean,
I think Keenan's fucking hilarious, But I never said they
had a lot of very talented, very funny, very very
funny people in that movie. Ye, Keenan hilarious. You know,
he was in my film Going in Style, and he

(25:21):
came in in one day and his scene was to
just he's supposed to be, you know, disciplining if you will.
He's a store manager that's caught Morgan Freeman, Michael Kane,
and Alan Arkin shoplifting in his grocery store, and he
came in and just it was so funny the shit
he was doing. And then at a certain point I
had this idea, like, I'll bet if we talk about standings,

(25:43):
I bet if we bring in the stand ins for
these three guys who are so intimidating, when I put
the cameras on Keenan, he'll be even more free to
just go nuts. So I pulled the legends out and
put in their standings. We shot over their shoulders, and
Keenan was just now that he wasn't like you, like
anyone would be intimidated by Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman out.
I don't think he was intimidated by them, but he

(26:04):
definitely doesn't want to hurt their feelings. Intimidated maybe the
wrong word, but you know what I mean. Like I personally,
if I was the actor, would feel way more free
to riff if I'm talking to Morgan Freeman's stand in,
and I'm not, like you know, in my head about it.
And so my point is he came up with the
funniest shit, and I put Keenan is amazing. I've known
him since we were really young. He might have been
a teenager when I was like in my early twenties

(26:27):
and I moved out to Los Angeles and I was
doing Clueless, the television show, and he was doing all that,
and you know, it's it's really interesting when you when
you meet people and then they wound up being on
the one of the funniest shows in the history of shows,
you know what I mean. We've been fortunate enough to
know quite a few people, you know what I mean,
And Keenan's one of those people that you know, when

(26:49):
we were younger, you knew that he was gonna be
I didn't know he was gonna be on Saturnight Live,
but I knew he was always going to be working
in this industry because he was always funny. He's so talented. Yeah,
he's one of those people I just root for. I
love I love that he's done so well and uh,
he fucking kills me on us and he is a

(27:10):
comedic genius. So Sarah Chalk is, uh, I'm I've I've
got an appendicitis and Sarah Chalk is touching my body.
There's there's not that much sexual tension really between us yet.
I'm finding although I do. I do at the end

(27:31):
of the episode reference that you know, I have feelings
for her. But it's interesting that that, Uh it feels
like Bill turned down, like any sexual tension at this point,
you know, he you know, he was gonna have jdgo
date a bunch of other women. But Sarah doesn't seem
sort of jealous that I that you you tell her

(27:52):
that I was, you know, flirting with some girl or
you know that, and then when when she's you know,
examining me and I'm naked, we just go right to
all the jokes of you know, the freezing She is right,
speaking of freezing call, how long did it take to
put that ice makeup on? Du Forever Man? And I
noticed I have two of those in this episode, two
full body makeup things, and they would take like a
half They would take hours and hours to do, and

(28:14):
it would look great. Though, didn't it that it did?
It looked really cool? Is it a great job? And
I think Sarah this came from Sarah genuinely having freezing hands, right,
I wrote that down. She truly has cold hands, if
I remember correctly. Yes, her hands are always freezing. She
runs cold. I don't think her blood reaches her extremities.
I think her hands are like blue. I wouldn't be

(28:36):
you might be right, they might always be blue. They
might always be blue. No, I just remember, I'm sorry.
I just want to say that this is like, you know,
Bill would take things from our real lives, like I'm
sure Donald and I are going out to the club
and Sarah having ice cold hands, Like but when I
when I when I saw this, I was like, I'm
pretty sure, as I remember, Sarah had freezing hands. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

(28:57):
This is also the episode where it feels like Bill
realized somewhere along the line that Ken Jenkins is a
comedic genius. Amazing, because now he's starting to really stretch
his comedic skills, and yeah, you're seeing a lot of
funny jokes from Ken throughout the show. Yeah, Ken's got
a big part in this episode, and I thought he
was very, very funny. And I just I didn't recall

(29:20):
Cox's mentor coming in. I didn't remember that storyline at all.
It's the only time I can remember in nine years
where he has a mentor that he's trying to impress.
So much of the show is he's our mentor and
we're all trying to live up to his expectation, right,
And I was struck as we were watching and going, oh,
this is early on and we're seeing someone that he's

(29:41):
so bad and he doesn't we do that fantasy where
he's doing all these gymnastics flips, Yeah, which Johnny probably
could do, although I'm sure that was a stunt double.
But Johnny's the kind of guy like, give me a week,
I got it, and his baseball fields out there doing flips. Right.
He actually wears a baseball jersey in this episode for

(30:01):
the whole episode. What is that jersey? Did you know?
I have no idea. That's a question we should ask
Bill right now, Bill, what is that jersey? Joe? Well,
can you ask Uncle Bill what the heck was the
thinking behind the random baseball jersey that Johnny C wars
throughout this episode. Man, I don't know what that jersey was.
Johnny C changed his jerseys all the time. He rarely

(30:23):
asked permission. It was always for some athlete or team
that he liked. For it was Jeremy Shockey for a second,
and then it was Chris Chelios, who I believe is
a close friend of his. But I just kind of
let Johnny own his character. And I'm calling him Johnny
because he calls me Billy. I think it's turnabouts fair play.
Very interesting. Also, you know, Bill tells a story about

(30:44):
how the show is written about him and his best
friend and how he thought it would be one of
the most scariest experiences of his life, waking up from
surgery and his best friend standing over him, who heats,
you know, drank beers and has blacked out, has gotten
blacked out drunk with Yeah, it's now coming to fruition

(31:06):
right right now? You know, you're right? Yeah? He always
he always mentioned that, and so it didn't take him
long to make that a storyline, which leads to probably
one of the greatest exchanges in Scrub's history that's in
this episode, which is should we recreate it for everybody?
I get to cut, I do that, you tell me
what it is? So at nineteen fifty five, I want

(31:28):
you inside of me. I want to be the one
inside I want to be the one inside of you.
If I ever have surgery again, I want you to
be the one inside of me. I want to be
the one inside of me, and which leads to which
leads to He's the only one who's ever been inside

(31:51):
of me. But by the way, the funniest part of that, dude,
is that the geniusness of keeping that fat Albert fat
Albert runner going. And then it cuts to them and
you're in there and everyone's laughing, and then they stopped cold.
Right pause, Yeah, like, what what did you say? That
was really clever to then go to a third time
to the fat Albert cast and have everyone just be

(32:13):
laughing and then stop. Randall Winston plays the one with
the giant mask on his face. Oh really, that's who
was our one of our producers who we told you
always played death because he was very tall. And there
he is showing up again as one of the fact
would you remember that character's name mc cosby kids. Oh man,
it was yuckmouth, Rudy Russell, Bill, dumb Donald, which was

(32:39):
the I hated that character. People did people call you
dum Donald's thank goodness note, But there was dumb Donald, Bucky,
weird Harold, something like that. Weird Harold. Yes, Oh, Joel's
pointing at you, weird Harold. I remember? Weird? Yes, is
the guy who wears the mask. Yes. Was it ever
explained why he wears a mask? No, it might have been.

(33:01):
I don't remember. We'd have to go back and look
at it at that show. Okay, but uh yeah, that's
who is it? Weird Harold? Am I right? So dum
Donald is the one with the hat. Weird Harold is
a super tall one with the curly hair. Oh okay,
So dumb Donald's the one with the mask. Yeah, yeah,
with the hat mask that's pulled down over his eyes.
That's dumb. Maybe I did like dumb Donald because that

(33:22):
was also very He sounds like an he talk about this.
I could would like to see you. I bet everyone
would like to see you do a fat Alburt episode.
I auditioned for the audition for the Fat Albert movie.
I wanted to be Rude. Everybody wanted to be Rudy.
Everybody wanted to be Rudy. Who got it? I forgot
who got that? Do you? We could look that up? Okay, God,
we're giving Joelle a lot of assignments today, Joel. In

(33:44):
the live action movie that wheelchair wheelie, I thought to myself,
is Donald really doing that? Because it was impressive. I
don't think you did. I didn't, well, I was. I
was asking myself because it was pretty impressive. You held
it a long time and then when it falls over
six fifty five you can see sort of training wheel
things on the wheelchair. I love how you're like, I

(34:06):
did do it? If you pause, if you pause it
like it, I know you don't remember. But if you
pause it like six fifty five, which I did, um,
you can see like on there there's like these like
stuntman special wheels, so you had training wheels full that's crazy.
Rudy was played by shed Rack Anderson the third Okay,

(34:28):
that's in the live action movie. I don't think that's real.
Donald Donald's questioning, you're I don't know he was. Also,
I know. The guy that played Rudy was also in
dream Girls. Well, Joel see if sheed Rack Anderson the
third was in dream Girls. So this is according to
IMDb two thousand and four Live action Rudy if Sen

(34:49):
Jack old Rudy. Did they see some of these guys
have Oh that might have been young Rudy or something.
Just go to dream Girls. Dude who was in dream
Girls played Rudy. I'm pretty sure of it. That was
always with Jamie Fox. Okay, give me two seconds to anyway.
So Donald is six fifty seven when I'm watching the
TV in my hospital room, right before the janitor takes

(35:11):
it away. That's I'm doing all the voices in that
TV show, right. No, I did a couple of them too.
It's Jerry Springer cut I cut you man that you
didn't want to. You did that, I'll cut you. I'm
I'm the dude, that's the boyfriend. I played the boyfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't know as both of us. I thought it
was just me. No, yeah, am I the man or
the woman? I don't even remember you're you're the woman?

(35:33):
I cut you. I don't cut you. Yea. Now we
should have been a funny runner that whenever there was
a TV show on and you didn't see it. It
was our voices. I think that maybe the only time
we did it well Danny. That was one thing Danny
would do. He would be like, you guys, wanna you wanna.
He would even let me hear what you did, so

(35:55):
I knew everything that you were gonna say, and then
I said something to match what you Probably very first
season we were just so excited to do anything where
it was just like, please know, Danny, I don't want
to please. We gotta go home. Yeah, but season one
we're like, do you need me to do any other voices?
I could do the TV voices speaking of late night

(36:16):
sketch shows. Yeah, Michael McDonald, Yeah, this is on this
episode from Mad TV. He went on to direct episodes
for Scrubs, Yes, he did, and he came back as
that character again. Yes, and I thought this was the
one where he was going to say his most famous line,
I broke my penis, right, But it wasn't that. No,
it wasn't that. When this is the introduction for that character.

(36:37):
He's very funny and I'm very sweet man. By the way,
what's the what's the you know what I mean? Karen
is anyone keeping track had ruined the drinking game for people.
Have I said it today? I'm sorry, you know what
I'm saying. I mean, you know what I'm saying. I mean,
I remember when you came into work one day, you like,
you know what the new thing, Like Donald would always
tell me, like what you know, I'm just like, you
know what I'm saying has always been gone. No, But dude,

(36:58):
I remember when you came in one day and you
were like because Donald would always keep me in breast
of like, you know, the new the new cool, saying
the new slang. Yeah, and he'd be like, you know
what the new thing is. That's what's up. That's what's up,
and that's what's up. Dude. I remember you coming in
me like you were like giving your nerdy white friend
an insider info. You're like, hey, just you know, like

(37:20):
with like with your hand over your mouth, like don't
tell anyone, but the new thing is. That's what's up.
And you to this day you say that's what's up
all the time, all the time. That's what's up? Is
is the that is what is up? You use it
like for everything. It's like you know, you know how
like in in the Smurfs, they'd be like, I smurfed him,
Papa Smurf. Donald. It's like a universal expression. You'd be like,

(37:42):
Donald'll be like, how you doing. I'm like, I'm great, man,
I'm just feeling good. Just did a big workout. That's
what's up, because that is what's up. Yeah, and you're like, hey, man,
what are you doing? You want to go out to
the nry. Yeah, let's do it. That's what's up. That's
what's up. Keeping one hundred. That's what's up. That's what's
up keeping one hundred replaced keep it real. So I'm
just looking at what Joel said. The guy from dream

(38:03):
Girls was Keith Robinson and yes Bill, Yes Keith, and
he played Bill Ah he played Bill. So then who
played Rudy? Oh you already said it? Shod dreck Anderson
the third Come on, try and keep up, Donald, that's
what's up. That's what's up. You know what I mean? Well,
you can't drink. You don't drink. If I say it,
everybody Jack said that, not me. Yeah. So A twenty

(38:24):
three is the second full body makeup thing, full bronze, gold, bronze,
all bronze. I believe. Yeah, that took. That took some times.
You can imagine getting your full body bronze. Well you
didn't have any whole body. Well you still look skinny. Man.
Well they didn't do like my penis, but they put
on like a you know, banana hammock, bronze behinna hammock.

(38:44):
They had to do everything. For those of you who
can't see Zach Braff right now, my buddy works out
every day, he eats healthy. He has someone making him
meals right now. Wow, you make it sound like a Well,
I do have a chef, but it's my girlfriend. It's
not like I've hired chef. I have an amazing I
didn't say. I wasn't going to get into all of that.
I wasn't going to get into any of that. All

(39:05):
I was saying, are you are you looking at my
muscles right now? Aren't you? Yeah? I have something embarrassed.
I have something embarrassing to say, though, So I bought this.
This is a black Widow tank top. Nice have you
seen black Widow yet? I can't comment on that, but this,
this is a black Widow tank top with with Lena
on it. And I thought it would be fun to
order it and oh, so her character's name is Jelena. Yeah,

(39:28):
I think that's public a better of you. We got
to edit it out. Joel's not having Joe. Are you
sure about that? It's Jelena, Joel's yeah, we might have
an exclusive. Disney's gonna be pissed. No, so it's marble,
but Disney's gonna be pissed. No, No, it's public, it's public.
But anyway, so I ordered this tank top because I

(39:49):
thought it would be funny and cute, and and it
came as a it's a women's medium, and know what
arrived is a women's like medium or large. And it's
my point is, you might think I look particularly muscular today,
it's because I'm wearing a women's medium tank. It doesn't

(40:11):
look like it's a medium for a woman. It looks like,
let me look, let me look, let me look. It's
a women's large. It's a women's large. Okay, there we go.
But it has a female cut. You see that, Like
they don't cut men's tank tops like this. They don't know,
but anyway, it's it's all. It's all they had. So, well,
you look good your work out every day. And Joel
just said that it is public, so don't get me

(40:33):
in trouble. Okay, So what's her name again? The only
exclusive that you're not getting, which isn't exclusive, is her
character's name is Yelena. Let's move on, Move on. Carla
had a funny ass line. You know, we were just
talking when Judy was on about how if she didn't
always get jokes, but I laughed out loud at nine
minutes when she goes, you don't want one hundred pound
white girl mad at you. You'll flinch every time you

(40:54):
hear a range Rover. That was funny. Yeah, it was.
Now when JD says, do they celebrate Thanksgiving in your homeland?
Do we do? We believe that JD, who's gone to
med school and is very intelligent, is he just playing
a joke or does he seriously not understand that? I
think he's from that did Carlos from Chicago? I think

(41:17):
he's being funny, trying to make her laugh, Yeah, trying
to make her laugh and then realize that he said
a really bad joke because his response, or maybe he's
asking the Dominican republic, is that? What is that? What
it is? Well? Yeah, she to her character is Dominican. Yeah,
I know, But do you think the character of JD
is trying to be funny or is he saying to
people in Dominican Republican celebrate Thanksgiving? Maybe maybe maybe can

(41:40):
we talk about how amazing you're moonwalking is? At nine
twenty five when you when you sing, I get to
cut you open? You know, I worked really hard on
moonwalking as a youth after I saw Michael Jackson do
it right, very very very don't you learn to do that?
Fucking hell? It's so good. You can't moonwalk. I can
do a little bit of backwards, but it doesn't look
like what you're doing it. You can go side to

(42:00):
side to side, dude, is it's still moonwalking if you're
going all around and moving forward? And absolutely it's a
moonwalk as long as you're moving backwards, like in a
backwards direction. Even if it's side to side, it's moonwalking.
And when you're walking in place that's considered moonwalking. Michael Jackson,
sorry for this stupid question, but did Michael Jackson really
invent the moonwalk? No, it was around way before Michael Jackson.

(42:22):
He feel like a tap dancwer. I feel like a
tap dancer created the moonwalk and Michael Jackson just bit
off of it. No, no, so Michael Jackson just made
it famous then probably right, Yeah, well yeah Motown twenty
five and he busts into boom Dude dom d I

(42:42):
literally literally give me dud dud do Right. If you
were a breakdancer, you knew how to moon walk. I
think I saw Breaking the movie in the theater. I
mean it was it was Breaking was such a popular.
Breaking was the West Coast version of dancing, and then
the East Coast version of breakdancing was Beach Street Street.

(43:07):
Never saw a Beach Street. Beach Street, You never saw
a Beach Street. No, but I remember Steady Crew. All
these people were in that bad Boy. It was like
all of the East Coast. Yeah, Breaking the movie was
that the West Coast. I love that movie. Then you
remember some of the characters, Ozone, Turbot, Kelly. I just

(43:29):
thought these people were so cool when I was a kid.
This was nineteen eighty four. This looks like it came
out and then they and then they did a sequel,
Electric Boogaloo. Yeah, Breaking too, the Electric Buogaloo. And that's
when they're trying to save the school. They're trying to
save the school. If you're a young person listening to this,
just know that breakdancing was still popular, that they were
making breakdancing movies back in the day. And Turbo gets

(43:49):
hurt and the barns up in the hospital. Are we
gonna take a break? Bo, We're gonna, We're gonna, We're
gonna moon walk into a break here. Hey, Joe, I'll
give him his Oprah intro. Come on, ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Joe Moody. What's going on, guys,

(44:16):
New York? Joe, Yeah, I'm staying albody. He's from Albany.
You get a car, You get a car, You get
a car, Joe. Welcome to fake doctors, real friends. We
are the fake doctors, real friends. I'm sorry I'm wearing
a female tank top, but that's just what's happening. He
looks good. Look at the arms. Show him to arms man. Well, Joe,
these arms aren't usually this big, but when you wear

(44:38):
a woman's tank top you tend to look a little
bit larger. You look great as always, there, Zach, Thank you, sir,
thank you, Welcome, Welcome aboard. Um. Do you have any
questions for the legendary Donald Phazon. I's want to say
first of all that this is honestly a dream come true.
Him a giant stand of the show, and uh, you
can't thank you guys enough for having me on. Thank
you so much, have you. We're just happy to be

(44:59):
doing it, man, we you know people, It's funny. On
social media. People are are loving it and saying thank
you to Donald and I for doing this so much,
whereas Donald and I are like, thank you for having
any interest at all because we're both so bored in quarantine.
The fact that we get to sit around and joke
with each other twice a week, and the fact that
anyone is listening beyond our moms is amazing. So where

(45:19):
doesn't listen to the show? Sorry, beyond my mom my
mom My mom texts me after every episode, and it's
more interest than in any other thing I've ever done.
My mom My mom like text me like, oh my god,
I loved how Johnny C was calling you Zachie and
Donald was so funny today and I get I get
notes from my mom. I'm sorry, go ahead, buddy, all right.

(45:40):
So first question is when Colin Farrell was on the show,
he turned the hospital into just a thirst frenzy did
the same thing happen on set, and who was the
thirstiest for it? Sarah? Sarah was definitely No. Judy might
have been really thirsty. Sarah was riled up. I mean

(46:02):
I remember, I remember being jealous actually, to be honest
that I mean, I know, Colin Farrell's Colin Farrell and everything,
and he's a very handsome man. But I was hoping, alright, alright,
I was like, Sarah, bring it down, Let's bring it
down a little bit. Yeah, I mean, I think all
the women were giddy. He's a very very handsome man
and charming and so charming, and Colin, you know, is

(46:23):
a huge movie stars still at the time, it was
like the height of his explosion. So the fact that
he did it, I think he was probably one of
the biggest stars we ever had on the show. And
I remember just just as a shout out to Colin.
I remember at the time, uh, you know, we gave
him a chunk of money to be on the show
and he gave it all to his charity, um as
another testament to his character of being a good man.

(46:47):
But no, everyone, everyone including Donald and I were were
a little giddy that Colin was visiting. Hard to blame you, honestly, no,
I mean, come on, do you have another question of
another question you could ask? You ask a few if
they're you know, bad questions will just edited out, don't. Yeah.
So my second question kind of pertains towards Sarah's character

(47:09):
Elliott as well. So Elliott is in my personal pantheon
of like all time TV crushes growing up I was
I was probably like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, when you know,
the show was really going. So I was wondering, who,
in your minds is in your pantheon crushes. I've got
a couple. I've got a few of them, okay, and
I'll yeah start Lark Vorhees from Saved by the Bell.

(47:33):
She played Lisa Turtle Holy Cow. When I was a kid,
I was so in love with her. I also was
so in love with Jada Pickett Smith on when she
was on a Different World. Oh my gosh. You couldn't
tell me nothing bad about Jada Pickett before she became

(47:54):
Will Smith's wife. Oh my gosh. Oh and still to
this day she's still right. Who else? Of course, Carrie Fisher,
Princess Leia. Right. He did kind of say TV shows,
but from TV I mean because I was gonna say,
I was gonna say, Lisia Silverstone is the first that
came to my mind. But that's technically a film. But

(48:14):
you don't mind if we go film. You just mean
our our youth crushes. Yes, I mean I opened the
rabbit hole. You guys feel free to jump right in. Well,
those are my three, Those are my three. My first
was was Susanne Summers on Three's Company. Now, when I
was a little boy watching Susanne Summers on Three's Company,
she was doing things to me that I didn't I
didn't know what was happening to me. And we were

(48:35):
a religious family. And I sat down at the shabbat.
We would have Shabbat dinner on Friday nights. And I
was eight years old and I sat down at the
Shabbat dinner and I raised my hand because my dad
was quite stern when it came to Shabbat dinner, and
he said, go ahead, Zach, And I said, Dad, why
does my penis get hard? When I look at Chrissy
from Three's Company. I had no idea that it was

(49:05):
anything inappropriate to bring up at Shabbat dinner. You can
dismiss from the table. No, my father. Instantly everyone died.
I started dying, laughing as you would. It was the
fine I mean, I really you know, I didn't know
what it was. I was like, genuinely, hello, father, I
have a question. I'm having a physical reaction to Chrissie
from Three's Company, and I would like everyone at the

(49:26):
table to weigh in on what it might be. My
whole life, my whole life. Everyone in my family has
joked about that story. The other the other idea, the
other one that came to my mind right away when
you said it was Nicole Eggert on Charles in Charge. Yes, absolutely,
that was another one. Yes, Nicole Eggert On Charles and

(49:47):
Milano Elizamlano of course. Also Joe from Facts of Life.
I had a weird thing. You were Tutti. You know
a lot of people are you know, are Blair or Tutti?
I was a Joe guy interesting, but Nicole Eggert was
just I remember thinking like, what are these feelings? What
are these feelings? Also Linda Carter and Wonder Woman, there

(50:12):
was a special episode She's spun around once and she'd
be regular Wonder Woman. There was a special episode or
two where she would spin around a second time and
she'd be in a bathing suit, a wonder Woman bathing suit.
Well she would spin around again and then she'd have
the bike outfit. Or oh I didn't I guess I
didn't watch all the episodes. I didn't know. How do
you think she could tell her her magic like, hey,
I need bike outfit? Hey I need I think it's

(50:34):
just a power that that wonder Woman has where she
you know, she says this is the situation. Really gear up,
all right, So you're saying she's when she's spinning, she's
telling her her magical powers. I need the regular outfit,
or I need cyclist wonder woman, or I need bathing
suit wonder I don't even think she has to tell
her power that. I think it doesn't automat power just
knows this is the situation. We're about to go swimming.

(50:56):
You don't need the cyclist uniform, right all right? I know, Hey,
one more question, one more question. Okay, I was gonna say,
that reminds me of quick change from the NBA halftime show.
Is Donald you might you might catch that one. I
don't know what that is. What what do you mean
by quick change? It's a halftime show. This person just
like puts a robe up, puts down different outfit, rope

(51:16):
down outfit. Yeah right where it's like one of those
pull off things, right, yeah, exactly. Do you have another question,
Joe Money? You stump Donald an NBA trivia? I just
I don't go to I haven't been to a lot
of games in a while. There's a Chicago Bulls documentary
going on. Are you watching that? Donald? I am watching it.
I don't know, listen shaking his head furious. I'm gonna
tell you something. I think everybody's watching it because, first

(51:38):
of all, when I was a kid, Michael Jordan. I
think everybody can speak for how magical Michael. And you
know there's magic Johnson, but then there was Michael Jordan's right.
I think for me he was my idol growing up.
You know what I mean. You could say we could
talk Denzel, we could talk Harrison Ford, but you know,
the one that did it for real, for every male

(52:00):
in America, maybe even the world, was Michael Jordan's right.
That's that was done right, like the basketball, the competitive spirit,
the IQ to be able to turn all of that
into money as well, Like just like Michael Jordan was
everybody's hero, every young male's hero. That and also he
made having a bald head cool. There were a bunch

(52:21):
of people with bald heads before that. There was Cojack,
there was lu Goss Jr. Mister Clean, well yeah, mister clean.
There were a bunch of people who had bald heads
before Michael Jordan's. It wasn't until Michael Jordan that people
with hair were like, you know what, I'm shaving this
bad boy. So he's an inspiration head. Well yeah, because
he made it cool to be a baldy, to have

(52:42):
a bald head. You know. There was a movie back
in the day called The Wanderers and the bad guys
in the movie were called baldy's And that sucked, dude.
It sucked to you know when when if you didn't
like the way your hairline was, you had to live
with that. But then you were trying to spray on stuff.
By the way, now, man, no, no, because when I
saw those informercials, I rocked up. I'm gonna get you

(53:05):
something for Hunter. I've never died my head, you know
what I did? You know what, I take it back. Recently,
I was doing this show and I was putting the
dust right, not to spray the dust that people use.
And I was doing an interview for US Weekly and

(53:26):
one of the co stars from my show, who was
very who's very young, she must have been thirteen or
fourteen at the time. She goes, you know, look at
Donald's hair and look at how much hair he has.
I've got a secret to tell. I didn't know that
that was dust. I put my hand on his head
and I pulled it away and I had a bunch

(53:46):
of like dust on my hand. To US Weekly, Oh
my god, did they print that? It made it to
it made it? But thank goodness, it didn't go viral.
I fell to the floor laughing. So I've never been
more embarrassed in my life. So from that moment on,
I was like, I'll never use the dust again. I'm
never using the dust. Ron Papel I think that was

(54:07):
his name. He had a spray on hair. Remember there
was an infomercial. Yeah, it was in The Fabulous Baker
Boys too. All right, man, Well, thank you for your questions.
You to take a trip down memory lane for our crushes.
We digress again. You guys having me, Thanks, thank you,
thank you so much, and thanks for listening and uh
and and thanks for being a fan of the show.

(54:27):
We really genuinely appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen, give it
up for Joe Moody thunder support. Thank good. Um, let's
get back into the episode. Um. You know, at eleven
o five, I kind of we kind of touched on this,

(54:47):
but I thought it was a rare moment of Kelso
actually practicing medicine. You never saw Kelso. I mean, can
you think of another time. I'm sure there are, but
I mean, for me, I'm surprised that he's actually working
on a patient. It's nothing you ever saw. Yeah, you know,
I was discussing that earlier, the episode where we all
lose a patient. Kelso's practicing medicine in that episode as well,

(55:08):
and I touched on it. In that episode. Whenever there
was death in the hospital, when whenever the hospital, when
whenever we were as characters against the odds of what
the hospital could do to it the patients, Kelso was
practicing medicine. Kelso's one of the heroes other than that
he is the obstacle. Yeah, yeah, well that was kind

(55:30):
of cool. You know, I didn't had much memory of
Kelso actually saving a patient. And it'll happen again when
Dick Van Dyke's on the show as well. That's right,
fourteen seventeen. I laughed out loud when you go, baby,
I was being a walrus. Yeah, and then we call
right back to that joke. We call the joke right back, right,

(55:50):
we call it back right away. See if you can
name this film? Ready made me think of this breakfast
club before you even do it. Come on, man, you're
ruining it for the fans. The fans know what the
breakfast club is. No, but they might have wanted a
little bit of a trivia game. Do it, do it,
do it now, and then I'll pretend that I didn't know.
I don't know. I don't want to edit your fuck up.
It's not it's me knowing you as well as I

(56:15):
know you that you're gonna do. Yeah, you know, it's
like a married couple who's like, I've heard this story
a zillion times. He's gonna do Anthony Michael Holland breakfast club,
fucking asshole. Listen. Imagine you're listening to this and you're
on your hike, or you're on your treadmill, or you're
walking your dog or you're breastfeeding your kid, and you go, ooh,
Zach's gonna give us a little trivia question. Donald ruins it.

(56:39):
If you have another trivia question about a walrus, I
will totally wait for you to do this story. I
got one. Okay, go ahead. Oh no, it's a what's
the name of the manatee that lives underneath the hospital? Oh?
Is it walrus? No? I don't know. It's julian Um

(57:02):
fourteen fifty two, the premiere of wrong, Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
You're wrong, You're wrong? He does that again? Right? I
just yeah, you know, it's interesting. On the wrong clock,
it's three. It was three o'clock on the wrong clock.
On the wrong clock, it's three. That's very clever that

(57:23):
you figured that out, is it. I never realized that
the wrong clock was three o'clock. It's kind of a
weird fantasy thing at seventeen forty one when you're operating
on me that you then look up into the lens
as my bird's eye point of view. I thought that
was sort of not something we did a lot of.
That was kind of unique. Yeah, you know, it's a

(57:45):
funny joke too. Is truth in the matter, whereas a
lot of a lot of people claim that when they're
out and unconscious in the hospital and are going through
whatever it is that they're going through, that they're not
in their bodies, but they're standing over their bodies always
watching you. Hear that story a lot, and I believe

(58:07):
I could be wrong. I believe it was a call
to that, you know, man, I'm just saying it was
cleverly done. And then you you looked up into the
lens again. I talked about how in the show we
don't have too much in the lens looking. Actually, it
happens twice on purpose in this episode when Sarah when
the jokey thing where Sarah punches me and I turned
right into the lens kind of like raging bull. And

(58:27):
then and then with you doing it up to the
camera on the ceiling when I'm watching you operate. But
I I thought that was a cool thing, just as
as on a serious Turk note that they really sell
in this episode that like all joking aside, Turks are
really good surgeon, which I thought was cool. I think
that was important for everyone to understand. Also, you know,

(58:48):
the hospital in a lot of ways, the setting in
the hospital is very jokey and and these guys are
it's it's a bunch of comic relief. But at the
end of the day, these guys are very, very, very
good at their jobs. And you know, as Bill talks about,
it's important that you laugh with them and you cry
with them, but you understand that they're very capable exactly.

(59:10):
And I think for me watching rewatching the show, now,
this was a moment where Bill clearly wanted to hammer home, like,
you know, JD's nervous. You know, he doesn't know how
good a surgeon he Isn't Bill really want to hammer home.
I'm like, no, No, Turk's really talented surgeon, right, And
this plays throughout the rest of the series. Also, you know,
Turk becomes a superstar surgeon him and and the todd too, actually,

(59:33):
believe it or not, is a very good surgeon. At
twenty twenty one, did you stitch your initials into me? Yeah,
that's not in foot And then I saw on the
scrubs WICKI they pointed out that in future episodes you
never see Jad's scar at all the times that he's shirtless.
Oh that's interesting. Last the last thing I wrote down

(59:56):
on if you of anything else was I think. I think,
I think I improved the I think there was the Nina.
Yeah you did. I remember laughing so hard at that too,
I remember, and I and I laughed because I remember
you having to explain to me, no, those were the ships,
because like, hell are you talking about? Wasn't it the Nina,
the Pinta and the Santa Maria? Santa Maria? Yea Joell's
nodding nice Ce Elementary School paid off? It did. There

(01:00:20):
was something that you stated your character states when we're
all walking into the bar, about how when you work
with people, you become family with them, And I just
thought while watching that, I was like, holy cow, you know,
we worked together long enough that we all became a family,
you know what I mean? Where you know, I look

(01:00:43):
at Sarah and Judy as my sisters. I look at
you and Bill and John C. McGinley as my brothers,
you know what I mean? And I still cherished to
this day. I cherish the moments that we spent together.
And if you're ever able, at any moment in time

(01:01:04):
to just be in the moment and not worry about
what's going to happen in the future or what's happened
in the past. If you're surrounded by people you truly love,
you're so lucky and blessed. And that's what the end
of the show is saying, you know what I mean.
It's saying, you know, you're gonna you're gonna meet a

(01:01:26):
bunch of people in life, and at some point you're
going to rely on other people beside yourself. And if
you're lucky to have those people who will really step
up for you, you're genuinely lucky. And so yeah, I
feel very lucky to have made this group of friends.
You know, it's very rare on a project to come
away with such lifelong friends, and I think that's where

(01:01:51):
let's put the fun of this. Going back. It's just,
you know, I mean, I find myself just smiling thinking
about seeing Johnny the other day, or seeing Judy and
and and looking forward of course to doing this with you.
And then I'm texting Bill about something. I'm like when
you're coming back on He's like, anytime you want, and
I don't know, it's kind of like getting the family
together every week. It's great. It really is cool, you
know what I mean. And and just knowing that we

(01:02:13):
cared about each other and still carry about each other
so much that we must show show up for each other,
even just to talk for an hour and a half.
I think, especially during this time, I find myself really
longing for human connection and reaching out to friends and family.
And uh, you know, when we plan to start doing this,
you know, COVID hadn't hadn't hit yet, and and now
that we're doing it in quarantine, I don't know. I

(01:02:36):
think it's more special than it probably would have been
because there's this we we both have this natural instinct
to want to connect and relate and look back with love. Yeah,
and it's all love. That, it's all love. It's all love.
So love to all of you who are listening. This
is a lot of fun and uh, please keep hitting
us up on our social media. We love hearing from you. Um,
