Speaker 1 (00:00):
There he is, he is. How's it going, everybody? Now? Look,
Dan and Joel have both changed up their backgrounds, and
you appear to have a dress case you might wear
today hanging. No, no, no, no, no, what's that dress
for you? It's not for me? First of all, hold on,

(00:21):
how are you now? Well? You don't because you started
off with some type of rude ship. You know what
was rude about saying, is Casey gonna wear that dress
that's hanging? It's a very When I said she wasn't
gonna wear that today, you automatically asked if it was
for me. Now, I am one who doesn't mind dress

(00:43):
is hanging in the background. You, however, seem to have
a phobia of it. I think my point was in
the spirits, a phobia, in the spirit of everyone changing
their backgrounds. All three of you have a new background,
and you do not. I know you're not drinking coffee.
I've turned over a new leaf. I don't know if

(01:04):
you know this, but it's time for another leaf. What
leaf did you turn over this morning? I've I've turned
forty six. Yes, thank you everyone, thank you, maring late everyone.
But Donald's birthday was the twenty second yes, and I
turned forty six years old. And I want to thank
everybody for all the love that you've given me. And

(01:26):
I want to say to all my fans out there
that listen to the podcast and all of Zack's fans
that listen to the podcast, it's working. Come joined the
dark side, combine strength, we can rule this galaxy. I
saw a lot of talk on my Instagram about how

(01:46):
how everyone needs to follow Donald and some girl wrote
you need to help Donald get more followers because he
quote caught feelings or something like that. I thought that
was a funny. Did you catch feelings? Who doesn't catch?
I always catch, always catch feelings? You got feeling about
by the way, your wife slid into my d MS
today because she was not happy with the picture I

(02:07):
posted a view. It's an old picture, by the way, obviously,
because we're lying on a chaise lounge together and it's
we're in quarantine. But Donald was during one of his
heavier periods and his wife slid into my d m
s to be like, why are you posting that picture
of top? She said? She said to me, she said,
did you see the picture of Zach posted? I was

(02:28):
like yeah, She was like he couldn't crop anything. That's
what she said. She said, you couldn't he some cropping.
He couldn't have cropped that. I was like, crop what
she was like your belly ship? I didn't know. I
love you so much, I didn't notice that you were
in that picture having a large belly time. I think

(02:50):
he looked very handsome and thank you very much. So
your wife was like crop that ship? Yeah? Right, and
and and you know, I I think everyone out there
deserves someone like I have. I have a wonderful woman
who uh is very supportive and takes care of situations

(03:11):
that I might be a little bit uh you know,
apprehensive to no, no, no, yeah, you know instead of
me being like, well why did ZECH post that? And
get upset a Zach, I'll stay away from the confrontation
and the conflict. Whereas my wife's slide no no, no,
we ain't letting that ship slide was was Zach's number,

(03:32):
and she will call you. She's like the mom. I
ain't know some people that are very gifted at photoshop.
If you want, I could, I could take off some
pounds from that picture for you. No, no, no, I like,
I mean, I think all of me is beautiful. Extra.
I could paint in abs. No, no, no, I think
I think all like I said, all of me is beautiful,
even the extra. Just ask my wife. You know. It's

(03:54):
funny that we're starting off a little bit confrontational because
in this episode, do you remember what happened? We got
in the fight? We got in probably our first fight.
I don't remember when during the lasso thing in the
I See You fantasy because I was pulling you too hard,
told me way too hard, and you screamed like a like,

(04:18):
don't say I got hurt because you were fucking really
legit yankee me across the ground with your lasso and
you were like, don't pull me so hard. No, And
then we got in a fight, and I think the
rest of that scene we're like not speaking to each other. Really,
you don't remember this. When I watched this episode, I went, oh,
that was like our first time we got in a

(04:38):
legit argument. And then we had to like do the
rest of the scene, I think, and we were did
we make up before the rat party, because right after
this we moved to New York together. We must have
do it. I think it was like a few day tiff.
We had a few day, TIFFs, what have you been
doing with your time? You went away for a bit?
What did you do? The gall and I to Joshua

(05:00):
Tree to get out to go to the desert. Did
you get out? Did you see anything? Did you see rattlesnakes?
We saw lots of bunnies. I think they're bunnies. Hairs
are large, right, I don't know if it was a
hair or bunny. I think it was a bunny. I
think the hair is really large, and bunnies are really tough.
I don't know. Man, there's jack rabbits too that are listen.
The puppy um. Everywhere the puppy went, it was getting

(05:23):
cactus thorns, thorns in a cactus all over its paws.
So uh we we didn't know what to do. So
we got baby socks and we put the baby socks
on the puppy. But the baby socks kept falling off,
So then we got rubber bands and tied them around

(05:44):
the top of the baby socks so their booties would
stay on the dog's paws. Did it cut the circulation
off of the dog? We're not idiots, dude. It wasn't
like super tight, but we did it. So with the
socks wouldn't fall off. So then the dog is running
around with four little babies ox on because we must

(06:04):
have done Oh man, the there was you can't bring
a dog to Joshua Tree, or if you can, you're
more experienced dog owner than we are. They the dog
couldn't figure it out. We couldn't figure it out. Wait,
so you took you you brought your kid on vacation
with you. Pretty much, Yeah, that's what you do. You
could you could have kenneled the dog and then well

(06:28):
I don't mind a kennel for an older dog. This
is I mean, especially the kennel we go do as
like they run around and they're and they're free and
they're not like caged, and I'm down with that. But
um but more often than not, I would sooner you
get a house sitter, some a friend of mine to
um or or my my assistant to stay here and
and take care of the dog here. But we it's

(06:49):
our baby, so you know, you wouldn't want to leave
your newborn. It's like our newborn. So we we brought
it to the desert. But it was a mistake because
now I know in hindsight, they sell like legit dog boots. Oh,
you need to get your dogs some Elevens man, some
Jordan Elevens, And that'd be so funny. By the way,
if they made dogs or dog easies, yeah, well, I

(07:11):
mean the easiest might be a little bit more expensive
than the Jordana Levins. You know, dog easies would be hilarious.
I would if anyone makes those on like Etsy, I'll
take them. But um, yeah, no, they'd make legit dog booties.
But we didn't have those, so we we we Jerry
rigged some baby socks, made a trick to a giant Walmart.
We gloved up and masked up and and went into

(07:32):
like the biggest Walmart. So what is the deal? I
thought you didn't necessarily need to glove up anymore. I was.
I'm just I'm just I'm just trying to be as serious.
You know, cases are spiking here in California, so I'm
trying to be as serious as possible. But is it true? Okay,
this is what I read, and I could be wrong,
Dan Joel, please jump in if I am wrong, and

(07:54):
if I'm right, jumping as well. But I was under
the impression that a lot of the spy that we're
having in California. This all could be propaganda are delayed
tests that have finally come in, and that we're testing
more people than most states, and so because of that.
But the President is broadcasting that. No, I wasn't. I

(08:17):
didn't get this from the president. I got this from California. Actually,
the president's broadcasting, yes, that we are getting spikes because
of our testing situation. But California, from what I was told,
was we had at least from what I heard from
Newsom and what I heard from Garcetti and all of
that stuff like that, is that we had flattened the

(08:39):
curve and we were climbing. But we were climbing because
more tests were coming in. Dan, He's very knowledgeable. Dan,
you honor me Um, you know we are definitely. Donald
is certainly right that as we test more, we're seeing
more positive cases. I think the measure of wearing gloves
at places like the supermarket, I think is not necessarily
over ill, as you know, you're bringing your germs out

(09:02):
into the world, and who knows how many of those
cans someone has already touched, etcetera. I mean, I think
all safety measures are good. The best one you can
take is not touching your face before you come back
and wash your hands, and that we wash our stuff
too when we go to the grocery store. Same here,
we we spray and wash everything down. Because you don't
know if someone with COVID took that off the shelf

(09:24):
and was like, oh, I don't need it, and then
you grabbed it exactly. But but from what I heard,
from what the c d C said, and from what
a lot of doctors said, it's not necessarily can't necessarily
get it from surface contact. It has to be it
droplets and airborne. From what I understand, I don't know
if that's true. I mean this, this is what the
CDC is saying. I know, but don't be fucking steering

(09:45):
our listeners wrong, because you're like, I'm not steering anybody.
I'm not steering anybody wrong. I'm just saying what I heard.
I don't know about Djokovic. What about Djokovic. I know
Djokovic got that ship, dude, Yeah, because he's fucking partying
with this like and doing like sweaty chest to chest hugs.
Really you saw this for you know this for a fact.
I read this on the interwebs that he there's video

(10:07):
of him raging at like some I think it was
a Croatian tennis tournament. And then at that tournament they
were doing like after the match, like sweaty naked, chest
to chest hugs and now he's out, He's he's about
to start a tournament, right, Dan wasn't the French openers?
He got? He got that ship. Are they here? I

(10:29):
don't want to upset Bill. Are they in the room?
I can't hear you, Damn Mike. Ironically, the tech wizard
can't figure out his new fucking mind. It's okay, let's
have a party. It's the final episode of season one. Hey,

(10:57):
I love the cheese representing Hi Charlotte Lawrence representing with
your Charlotte Lawrence merch. Now to remind our listeners, um,
When COVID began, Krista told Bill that he would be
She set up a guest room in the house and
she said, Bill, that's your office. You're allowed to come

(11:19):
out for lunch, but you worked there nine to five, now,
right Bill? Yeah, I'm not m I don't think she
was even comfortable with the idea of me venturing out
to do this together. So I still have to stay
down in here. Well, Bill wanted to be in my
office together doing it, which would have been squished and
he would have stopped hugged me. So I said, no,

(11:41):
he's got to go downstairs. We were hoping to get
h on this listen. I want to tell you they Bill,
this is so annoying to me because it involves ship
that you've said. But they sent us, you know, merch
options for the podcast, and there's like one ug that
says stop hug. There's another mug that says five six

(12:03):
seven eight. I'm like, this is all the fucking Bill's jokes.
Here's the this is the real. I appreciate this. The
five six seven eights. I think that's funny and that
doesn't count as one Dan, but um uh five seven eight,

(12:23):
I'm the boss of this show. We didn't even get
into two minutes of the wanted to be the first
one to do this song before the song, so the um.
But but what bums me out is that stop hug
is a real and cherished thing and now it's a
joke that's out there, and I don't like that at all.
I don't like other people joking. Yeah, it's I think

(12:45):
it's important in our relationship, and I think you secretly
love it. No, I don't so a second. Let me
think this straight, Krista, if stop hug was to go
away forever, you would be happy. I'd be good. I

(13:05):
found myself. I found myself recently wanting to hug from
my girlfriend and when she was busy and I kind
of tried to do a stop hug, and uh, she
was not a fan of the stop hug. She was
making dinner. But I was like, fine, can I have
a stop hug? You guys can talk. You guys can
all talk about stop hugs going away as if that's

(13:28):
a real thing. But it's like a fake premise. They're
never going away, and they will. They will always always
be part of my and my wife's life. Listen, you
know you know who loves to stop. You know who
loves to stop hug? Case Cobb loves to stop? Really
yeah yeah, yeah, so I can get I mean, she
she I take it back. There aren't times where I'm like,

(13:49):
let's hug and she gives me the face like goddamn it,
we just did that ship for a minute ago. But Donald, Donald,
those are the best stop hugs man is when you
when she rolls her eyes right before we hug, thinking
about it. Nothing better than when you know for sure
they don't want it. I mean, we could go into

(14:13):
a longer discussion about boundaries, but perhaps it's not something
we want to address. I don't think people want to
do that on a fun podcast. I think you guys
are a very adorable couple because you keep it fresh.
You have a little bit of a bickery banter, but
you very much love each other. Yes, and that was

(14:36):
nice to say a little bit of a bickery banter.
I thought, Well, I've been on I've been on vacation
with you guys, so I know that at times it
might peak a little higher and then I get and
then usually when it peaks, I get a talking to
from Zach. Yeah, I'm like their therapists when we're on vacation.
I'll be like guys, guys, guys, both of my parents

(14:57):
were therapists. Let me let me do a little work
on Hey Donald, belated, happy birthday, buddy, Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. I'm six years old now you're
a young looking man. Just know that I will accept
and received that. Thank you very much. Uh. We had
I had a great day. Yesterday, the day before my

(15:18):
birthday was Father's Day. So I've had two days in
a row of just straight up appreciation from my family,
even if they were faking it. Even if it was fake,
it wasn't real. It's still warmed my heart for two days.
And I knew it was fake when at midnight when
I was like trying to, you know, say good night
to the wife, she was like, uh, I'm going to bed,

(15:42):
and I was like, I guess birthdays over. Hyeah, yeah,
it's over, you know how Like you know you just said,
even if it fakes, even if it's fake, it still
feels great. Yeah. Not not unlike a stophuck. Not unlike
a stophuk. I've learned. I've learned to appreciate the annoyed

(16:03):
because I know underneath all of that there is love.
So you know what I would accept receive. Well, I
want you guys to know the level of Casey's love.
Bill and Christa that I posted a really beautiful shot
of Donald and I today on my Instagram and it
was it's an old picture obviously because we're lying next
to Sorry, Oh my god. No, Christie is the CHRISTI

(16:23):
is the person in my life. Who corrects that the most? Um,
and I'm nervous. I find myself and I'm about to
use the enemy, or and I around christa being nervous?
Be like which one that's a hard one? That's a
hard one? Christ has a Christ? Do you teach the
audience your trick? Because I never learned this in school. Well,
if you're saying a picture with me, then you wouldn't

(16:46):
say with I right right now? But you told me,
you told me a thing where you remove the other
person and you just and you just say how you
would say it if you were just saying with me
or with I, like you said, there's a cute picture
of Donald and me, there's a cute picture of me.
I see there you go? So I just removed Donald
and I go, there's a cute picture of me. I

(17:09):
wouldn't say there's a cute picture of I. Thank you, Chris.
But do you always have to go with Donald first?
Can you say there's a cute picture of me Donald? Now, okay,
that's incorrect as well. There's a cute picture of Donald
and me I put on Instagram and it's old and
Donald is a little hefty, and um, wait, hold on,
you are you're a sty in the picture? Some of

(17:32):
the some of the comments has said things like how
many months? Is Donald? That kind of thing? And I
because I thought he looks cute. I thought he looked adorable,
Like I know, I'm sure you guys have this as
a married couple. Donald, I have to say, like, oh,
I thought you look cute. I hate that picture of me.
How dare you pose that you look cute in the picture?

(17:54):
Do I think I look cute? Now he's lookut. Yes,
of course, of course he looks cute. That's why you
roasted it. Donald. Krista would post a picture of me
shirtless and four hundred pounds overweight and vomit all over
my chest if she thought she would cute at it. Yeah,
it's like he is a monster behind. It's like all

(18:16):
of those It's like all of those ladies that have
the picture of them and the baby and the baby
is not even looking and it's kind of like, you know,
got woozy face, but they look great and they go, oh,
look at the cute little baby. And it's like, now
he didn't post that for the baby. Yeah, it's like that.
And Casey got mad at your ask or what no,
so Casey slid into my d M s and was like,
you couldn't have cropped him. And I just thought it

(18:40):
was funny because it was like a good wife looking
out for her husband's belly. It makes me love Casey
even more. Man. By the way, that's that's another just
idyllic couple. Donald Man, you found you found the right
one there. That's the rock star. She does love me. Man.
I'm very lucky, all right, you are. You're both perfect couples.
You both are examples in my life. And I'm not
just saying this because you're on the phone of of

(19:02):
being the perfect ying yang for each other. You both couples.
The men and women are very different from each other,
very different, but compliment each other perfectly. I think I
thought a poetic that Cristal walked away during that No
Crystal left. I just wanted to show Zachie a picture
of he took with Sarah Chalk and myself. That is

(19:24):
so cute And how cute is that? That's from the Bahamas. Yeah,
and you took it with my camera. We were just
talking about this whole camera situation that went on during
the scrubs run. Um did you have were you a
big camera fanatic before Brendan Fraser showed up. Christa, Yes, um,

(19:49):
I was. I uh Brendan, I bonded over the over cameras,
But yeah, I had. My mom's third husband was a photographer,
so I was often taking, are you guys laughing because
she's a third husband. I'm laughing because I'm uncomfortable. Much

(20:13):
of Bill started, I was like, I've got a laugh too.
So people get married a third time, Like, don't you
just don't get married? You try it twice and if
it if it's not for you, just stop getting married
the fourth husband. Now that one took, though, that one took. Yeah, no, yeah,
that one's going all right. So continue continued anyway. So yeah,
and I've always um And then I stuck to film

(20:34):
because I think it's the most beautiful. And anytime I
was modeling or you know, doing any shoots, I would
talk to the photographer and buddy up to them and
have them teach me tricks and techniques with photography. Zach
was a nerd. Brandon was Donald. I never did it.
You never did it. No, I never did it. We

(20:55):
had we had Brandon on and Donald said something like, no,
we had when she had Chase Erano on and we
were talking about Brendan's first episode with the camera and
he donald was like, why do I have so many
polaroid pictures of myself? And I explained to him that
that Brendan got you and I into old school polaroid photography. Yeah,

(21:17):
and also Brendon, you got me Like Brendan, I mean,
I just got back in time with photography. My cameras
just are bigger and clunkier than they were before because
I used the old school ones. But Brendan and I
used to go into his dark room. Hit a dark
room in his house when he used to live in California,
which I loved, and I used to go over there
once a week and we used to sit in there
for hours. And it made me realize that Bill would

(21:40):
never let me have a dark room here because he
would never see me. I mean, I would just go
in there. It's also hard to stop hug on the
red lights of the dark I have a question, is
it because you would be experimenting with different exposures or
or I mean, I can't imagine that you take that
many pictures that you're gonna just develop everything, like you

(22:02):
know what I mean, after you look at the contact sheet,
is it like I know that some people go into
the dark woman and they try to create a formula
of dip and all of that stuff where they the
pictures come out a little different and everything like that.
Is that what it is? Yeah, there's great techniques to
um printing film in a dark room that you're you

(22:22):
are messing with the exposures and with the shadows and
trying to bring maybe a picture with a little under
exposed when you shot it, and then you try to
fix it in the dark room. Things you can do
digitally now easily. There was fun. There was a lot
of fun doing. I got into photography in high school
because we had a photography class in high school, and

(22:42):
it was I learned about the dark room, and I
just thought it was so much fun. Now, of course
everyone just does it digitally, but it was a really
fun thing to be experimenting with and and and doing.
I loved it too. Did you three all call each
other and say we should make sure we start by
talking about something that Bill doesn't know anything about, so
he doesn't talk all the time. Know nothing about this,
I know nothing about this. I'm just trying to figure

(23:03):
out how you know where it all stemmed from, because
Zach believes it stemmed from Brendan. He believes that that
was the beginning of more than me. No, no, no,
Donald's not remembering what I said that Chris and I
were both hobbyists, and then Brendan brought the world of
old school polaroids into our lives. I wanted to tell
you that that Krista and Bill Kristin knows they love

(23:26):
cameras of all types. And I went over to their
house for Christmas, and um, I was very excited about
the present that I had gotten them. I had found
them these really really cool Japanese slippers and um, they
were they were cool. I thought they were cool. Um.
And then and then Christa said, here's the present from
me and Bill. Mind you, I hadn't given them the

(23:47):
slippers yet, and and I opened it up and it
is the most gorgeous antique medium format camera that is
like priceless and vintage and special works and not only
can you use it, but you'd also like put it
on your mantelpiece. And uh, and I'm like, I'm thinking
in my head, holy funk. I bought them slippers presents

(24:12):
always thank you if it makes you, if it makes
you feel any better. I didn't know what we got
you until you opened. That's funny, that's you know what.
Before we go any further stories about shore, we made

(24:36):
about a bunch of dots and nurses and Janitor who
said stories around here, around here. Now we're in, Now,
we're in. Now listen. We've been doing this for a

(24:57):
full season. Guys. We we did not know this would
be popular, and it's so fun that it is. But
we could Donald. I couldn't think of a better way
to end the first season of it than to have
you two on, of course, because you're both so funny,
and also, of course Bill, this is your baby. And thirdly,
we thought we might get you guys bickering, which is
always good radio. Thank you and congratulations. I'm loving it.

(25:24):
It makes me happy. Thank you. I listen as a
fan and I think, uh, not only do I love
you know, revisiting a show that I like you guys,
I've almost forgotten all of it, but listening to you
guys without your friendship in real time on here gives
me great joy. It's super fun. None of this would

(25:45):
be possible if it wasn't for you. So more than anything,
thank you man, you know, thank you. We always, we
always thank you for the show, but we we we
we probably never thank you for the friendship that you
instilled inspired whatever the correct word is. Um and uh
and that's that's that's the gift that keeps on giving.
My our our our love for each other was born

(26:05):
when when you thought we did the best job in
the audition room. Even though we know now that Donald
up I could be sitting here doing a podcast with
Doulez Hill, I have a question to you and Donald Bicker.
We were just funny. We were just on that before
you guys got on. Bill. You probably don't know this

(26:26):
because you weren't there, you were in the writer's room.
But this episode is one of the first times I
remember getting into fight with Donald when we were doing
the stunt where he lass owes me in the I
c you and pulls me. Donald of course got very
excited and uh and and pulled me like legitimately hard
across the floor and it fucking hurt and uh and

(26:47):
then he wasn't apologetic and we got in a fight.
And the rest of the fight we got into an argument.
I wout to whip your ask if you were to
put your hands. I didn't mean to imply that we
got in a fist fight. We got an argument, and
then the rest of the episode we're like, the rest
of that scene, we're like, weren't speaking to each other.
So that scene is played out in silent treatment. Dude,

(27:10):
what's the longest that we've gone without talking to each
other because of a fight? What's the longest? Probably a week,
A couple of no, a couple of months. Do Casey Casey.
Whenever we get in a fight, Casey usually becomes the
the the the arbitrator and and works it out. She
becomes our couple's therapist. It's very interesting. I want, I
want to be My problem is that Krista could go

(27:31):
years without talking to me, and I'm always like I'll
match her stubbornness. And I falled after about six minutes.
It was like, please, please, please love me again. I
hate being in an argument with either a friend or
a partner. I just like that that awkward, like angrily
making a sandwich in the kitchen, throwing down the peanut

(27:55):
butter knife. I don't, by the way, you reference one
of the moments I thought was really funny on the show,
not to take it to the show, but that that
universal concept of not wanting to get in another couple's
fight and getting dragged back into it. And then when I,
since I watched all these having forgotten him too, when
I see you hand it to uh Alomas Roberts and

(28:18):
she and she gets pulled back, but much more comfortably
on her back. On her back, I think, like on
a skateboard or something, because if you're she's floating like
several inches above the grow. I think the groups Aloma
her own Dolly. Aloma is not going to get dragged
real by, for real by Donald and getting a fight

(28:40):
with him. No, there's no silent treatment there. How how
long would a real fight between you two last if
it was physical? Donald, do you think Zach even holds
his own for a couple of seconds? I think his
cardio is way better than mine now, so I'd have
to hand it. I'd have to end it quickly, because
if I didn't, I would get tired, and then his
little taps would trying into hard punches. Listen, Donald and I, Well, dude,

(29:04):
we used to bull true. I've never heard the expression
bull true. Um, we used to get in play fights
and you know, just like you know, pretend boxing, and
I would feel beaten up even by that within seconds,
because it sounds like i'd like throw a fake punch,
then he'd block it and then come with the other hand.
I'd be like, oh, I'd be knocked out by that. Um,
let's get into the episode, directed by Michael Spiller, who's

(29:26):
always one of our favorites. Right, guys, Big round of
applause for the season finale. Season finale. I didn't remember
a bunch of this. Of course I remember was Christa's
epic monologue, which will get to at the end. I
didn't remember this mirror gag at all. I didn't remember Christa.
You look stunning, and I believe you're wearing a leather blouse.

(29:47):
What I'm wearing? What where was the mirror? I don't
remember that. All I remember is that Scrubs was the
one time I was ever able to coerce you and
having short hair, because you know how I love you
with short hair. Yeah, But watching this episode, I'm like,
do I go with that? Yes? Yes, yeah, yes, yes,

(30:08):
I really I mean, you look you look great and all,
but I know Bill is hair not everybody can pull
off this hairstyle. And I think you look really good.
You look so shoppy and pc. Yeah, and a long
short haircut. It's like long. I thought, yeah, it's not
longer than the shoulders, but it's it's it's it still

(30:30):
has a little bit of a flip, like Donald, don't
boys like long hair. I mean Casey has long hair. Yeah,
but Casey has long hair because she likes long hair.
It's not because it's not what I like. It's what
she likes. Not everybody. I don't think everybody can pull
it off, Krista, but you you you you show in
this episode that you can because I think you look great.

(30:51):
You look amazing in this episode. And your leather I
didn't know a leather blouse was a thing, but you
look great. I remember that mirror thing. This is what
was cool about having to show with fantasies is we
are trying to reprise the mirror thing from the pilot,
and then we knew we had to give everybody the
backstory kind of from the whole season so we could

(31:12):
blow it up at the end, and we just did
it by having them all talked to in the mirror
really fast, so you knew Donald and Carlo we're fighting.
You knew uh that you hooked up with Krista, Johnny
C's wife, and we knew you know that you and
Sarah still had some ship going on. So we tried
to just get it all out there quickly. So you're
saying it's a writing device, you kind of wanted to
brief the audience on here's where we're ending the season, right,

(31:34):
Here's all the things that we're gonna blow up at
the end, some of which we aren't going to talk
about a ton in this episode, right, And so you
have to build when you're writing. Um, I think I
know the answer. But but just for people that are
aspiring writers out there of TV shows, you kind of
also have to remember like what the audience knows and
what they don't know. And even if they're an avid viewer,

(31:54):
they may have missed a week. So is there a
little bit of an onus on you to just kind
of get everyone in a headspace of of knowing what's
about to happen? There used to be, Um, there used
to be. It's changed with streaming, television, binging, and you know,
now people do things that they put and I love
it because I'm a fan. They'll put something in one
episode and never mentioned it again, and they'll come up
in episode five, and if you're a fan, you're like,

(32:15):
who that's binge watching? And when when network TV used
to exist, they used to tell you, uh, your most
frequent viewer watches one out of every three episodes. I
told you, I told you. Bill told us that. I
told you. Bill told us that last episode which with
UH with Shay and you and you guys were fucking
clowning me because I you were saying that I didn't

(32:35):
watch it. I would lie to people. But Bill told
us that back in the day, your most freaking person
that comes up to you and says, I fucking love
your show, it maybe seen four episodes. Yeah, so it's
like a huge fan. That network used to say a
huge fan. If you did twenty two episodes, you say,
a huge fan probably saw eight of them that season,
and then and then more than well that's when remember

(32:57):
that's when your audience would be ten to fifteen million
people and you'd be like, oh, we have four million
that watched them all, and then six million that watched
uh ten episodes, and then a few million that watched
like three or four, you know. And so it's funny
when I think back to a kid two shows I love, like,
let's just to pick one, Cheers. I saw a fraction

(33:17):
of episodes of Cheers, you know, Like, so I guess
as I think about it, I I am that I
was that way too, And it was that sort of viewing. Yeah,
and and word TV fans ended up in this business,
and that was us so and now it's that that
that that ethos has gone. Now you you assume with
these streaming shows that people that are watching them are
binging them if they like them, and you don't have

(33:38):
to make reference to anything you've done episodes before. So yeah,
we felt the uh always felt the burden to catch
people up. And Bill, another question is where was your
head out when we got here? I don't remember, and
I wonder if you do. How we how we were
doing in the ratings? Were you we confident we were
going to get another season? Um? Well, yeah we were?

(34:00):
Were we? At this point? We were a very successful
show and uh, I was even expecting us to be
on After Friends, which we were the next year, you know,
And so um, the we were just trying to blow
everything up because we had kind of done. You know,
we had outlined a year to get through their internship,
and then we wanted to go, let's not repeat it

(34:20):
next year. Let's blow it all up. Let's do them
thinking that they're becoming doctors. But remind people what's still
out there. Elliott still has a thing for j D. Jordan,
whether she wants to admit it or not, is still
in love with Dr Cox uh he Um is obsessed
with Carla for his own narcissistic reasons. Carl and Turk
are considering getting serious in the relationship. You know all

(34:41):
that stuff. I have to make something, I have to
admit something to you, very embarrassing after twenty years. I
had forgotten that. And when when when when Christie says
at the end, admit that you still have feelings for
j D. I I personally got excited for j D.
I was like, she likes me still, like I had
forgotten because Sarah does such a good job Elliott. Sarah
Elliott does a good job of totally seeming like she's

(35:03):
over it, like and and obviously I know where it
goes in the end of the show. But when when
you said that and Sarah gave a look like you
just outed me. I was like, I was like happy
for me. J D. Well, you know it's so weird
man TV and the fandom and you guys decide what
we do in many ways with your performance, because, um,

(35:24):
we did that Pizza Clock episode with you and Sarah
because we said we don't want to do will there
won't They? So Turk and Carla are gonna be the
couple that's together for the whole duration of the show.
Will There won't They? Will be dr Cox and Jordan's
and uh, j D and Elliott will have them hook
up now and do that, run the relationship fully through
its course, and then we'll never be back there again.

(35:46):
But the second we did it, people wanted it and
wanted to track it, and it became inevitable. You guys
had chemistry. I mean I want that. I mean, I
guess I'm the typical viewer. I love a will There
won't They? I'm a sucker for that. It makes great television,
you guys. I didn't realize that Cox and Jordan were
the will they or won't they until this episode. Really,

(36:07):
when you see that Jordan's really does have feelings for
that was such a vulnerable moment where she you know,
she first she thanks him, like, you know, dude, first
of all, thank you for not pressuring me into having to,
you know, go into this thing tomorrow and speak up
for you. I truly appreciate that. And then his response

(36:28):
and her face and reaction to it all. Yeah, it
was like, well you could feel her pain, you know
what I mean, you could feel the pain like she
was with you know, she Jordan's truly you know, as
much as she French, she still loves this guy, and
he's playing it. It's clear that he loves her later on,

(36:50):
but he's playing it at this moment, like I know
why you're here. He's oblivious, he's aloof he's he's a
he's a moron also for it too, you know what
I mean. You gotta get to listen. Somebody shows up
over and over and over and over again for a
booty call. Dude, wake up and smell the flavor. Man,
This is real, right the first time, for the first time,
we see Jordan's being vulnerable there, right, Christal. I mean,

(37:12):
she's like you're like sitting even your body Langue. Yeah,
and you've got a blanket over you, you know, whereas
you've been all this, the sexually confident woman who's talking
shit your curl. I thought it was a good acting
moment for you as well. You were kind of curled
up and and you had a blanket over you, and
you were you were vulnerable because you were you were
catching feelings, as they say. But when when he said

(37:34):
let's shake do you know, shake it up? And she says,
you want me to shake it up? That's when it
was like, hell ship, what has he done? He has
no idea, he has no idea what he just did. Yeah,
I like to Donald. I liked the scene with Sarah
and Krista that Donald just pointed out because it's it's
cool and a writer that something happens serendipitously, that you
didn't mean to set it up. But we had done

(37:55):
all these booty calls, and then we had Jordan's say
sex is for making babies and revenge and that's it.
And then Sarah, Sarah says, I don't think you're getting
a lot of revenge on Dr Cox by showing up
and servicing him, you know, while he watched Sports Center
what Donald said, you know what I mean? And to me,

(38:16):
I had forgotten and your face did it too. I'm like,
oh ship, she likes him. Oh stinger. We'll be right
back after these fine words. Now, sorry to jump to
the Todd for a second, just because he's we've been talking,

(38:38):
Donald and I have really been going back, you guys
and laughing and acknowledging that everything that Rob Mascio says
is funny. And we're constantly being like, you know, we
we teased him a lot while we were shooting the show,
and uh and now when we go back and we
watched the episodes, like every single thing he does makes
us laugh, including in this episode. He has a lot
of funny stuff when you when you when you when

(38:59):
you're asking dr when when you and Carl are asking
dr When for help, and he's in the background, like
doing all this stupid stuff, sack the glass of his
face and he's like, it didn't hurt. It didn't hurt. Also,
I think he I think he speaks like um monosyllabically.

(39:21):
What the Todd did bad? Todds still referring to himself
in the third person, and Turk very upset with him.
Todd did bad. As a matter of fact, the Todd
did very very very very bad. Yes, you know what
I noticed in this show there are a thousand one
line funny, funny jokes through the whole Everyone has these

(39:46):
hysterical one miners that I was trying to write them
down and like there were too many, Like everyone has
a funny thing to say. Aloma has the best one
to me. You didn't hear that. You didn't hear you did?
He No? But g just dude, And then she sings
and then she sings the song from the opening from

(40:06):
White Man Can't Jump just to Jesus Sanity. I also
love that because I don't think we had any song
chosen and just it's one of the most fun things
for me, you know, on the show, or the amount
of stuff that we're left into the hands of the
actors and actresses. So I know she just picked that

(40:26):
and started singing it. Which is I believe Aloma was
a religious woman, right, Yeah, we did, we did. We
did bet that at some point, but I can't I
know we wanted her to be from the start, you know,
I know the character was, but I think that as
I recall Aloma right is was so maybe she knew
that from church or something. I don't know. It's not

(40:47):
going to have her on the show. By the way,
she want to have her on her show. We want
again again, we want to have on her show. We've
we've discussed already bringing her in the second season. Yeah,
she's along the way. Man, she's fun to see. I
forgot what a big present she was. We're gonna have
Rob on and and uh, by the way, it's funny. Bill.
I don't know if you remember. You sent out a
mass email, uh to to the whole cast about doing

(41:10):
some event, and everyone was like, I'm down, I'm down down,
And then Ken Jenkins was like, oh, good to hear
from you. I'm I'm moving way too busy, and I
was just like and I was like, oh man, we
were gonna ask him to come on the podcast. But
I'm a little nervous now that Ken is gonna blow
us off and my heart won't be able to handle it.
The thing that's gonna make me happiest is when you
ask him to do it next year and he's still
miraculously moving the same. Thank you. I'm moving, but that's

(41:38):
a bad time. I'm moving and you're still moving. It's
a long move. It's a long move. Yeah, we want
to have Rob on who else you we have on
a loma UM I want to have UM. We were
talking about having all the stand ins on and like
a group one. Deonta like Deonte. Deonta said to me
the other day, he was like, listen, when you guys
get to the one with the chimps and they're all

(42:00):
dressed up as doctors, you got it. I'll call in
or whatever it is because I've got a great story
for that moment. And he told me the story and
it is amazing, So we don't don't don't take it
from him. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take it
from him. I'm gonna wait because you got to do that.
And then you also, I believe, if I'm not mistaken,
that Deante I see him a lot when people to

(42:21):
the clip of Neil Flynn saying his actual name, and
then Deonte, I think walks by and goes hey, Tony
right at the at the end of it. So he's
the reason that people don't believe that the janitor is
Glenn Matthews. Really, yes, so J Matthews is his real name.
Glenn Matthews is his real name. You heard it right
from Bill's mouth, Guys, Glenn Matthews is his real name.

(42:43):
He just he just lied to to Deante's character and
said he was Tony. Yes, And we decided his name
was Glenn Matthews because he was the janitor on Quan
High and introduced himself as Glenn. Ah. We had, we
had nielon I don't know if you did. Was hilarious
and we really kind of stumbled into a really good

(43:03):
TV show Bill that we'd love you to do. It's
a great idea. And by the way, I will never
waiver Bill, Bill, Bill, you don't want you don't want
one of your fellow fancy showrunners to steal Space Janitor.
We're giving it to you. Bill, don't stay. I never
gave you anything as a present. You're getting, you're getting.

(43:24):
You're getting the rough treatment for Space Janitor. It's a
multi camera in front of a couch Bill in space.
How can you base janitor? Space Janitor? And then another
one I was gonna hit up about, uh, Sam Lloyd
r I p s the Janitor and Sam is a
legal Yeah. I also like we stumbled into a thing

(43:45):
in that Neil episode. By the way, Neil's talking about
how he's finally developing something on his own because he's
always been in other people's stuff and he's now collaborating
with someone developing something, and I'm just sitting riffing jokes
with him for an hour and a half. With Donald,
I was like, I feel like we could come up
with ten shows because he's so quick with it. The
other one we stumbled into was a classic multi camp sitcom,
but it's a castle and it takes place with with

(44:07):
roy with old school like medieval royals. So you just
do like classic multiicam sitcom jokes, but they're like in
it's like medieval times. The game it's the Game of
Thrones sets. Yes, it's a Game of Thrones. It's Game
of Thrones, but it's a sitcom. I'm in, Bill, I'm in.
I'll do it. I'll do eight to ten. I still

(44:31):
want to see you guys in some kind of spies
like us, you know, and some kind of version of that. Listen,
we were talking when we had Scott Folly on how
how we really need you to pull the j j
Abrams and start directing giant tent pole movies because what's
his name, Greg Grunberg, that in all these Star Wars movies, Man,

(44:53):
we need you to direct your big tempole movies so
Donald and I can be in it. And christ By
the way, my wife just said, yeah, Bill is this
is this is the reality of my life. My wife
should be somebody that would be in all of my shows,
and yet she's only in the ones that she picks
as that she deems worthy of her time and effort,

(45:15):
so much so that I will occasionally I still remain nameless.
Go there's a really thing would be really helpful. You
know if you did this part in this little thing
and she's going, has the script changed and all since
the last time I read it, I'm like, you're still no,
but you're still my wife. I feel like she's like pass.

(45:39):
Billy would always do that, Like the first draft of
of Christa's lines in the show would be they'd be
good to be funny, and then like on the day
she'd show up like with Bill, like they had both
just been working together, and Christie would have like a
whole new pass. It was like a Christo pass. She
had the ability that we didn't to go, Bill, see up.

(46:01):
My wife was on the show Cougar Town, and I'm
always telling the story. We'll get back to this show
one of my favorite things. I always stayed on that
show for three of its um six years, and I
went and did other stuff. And I remember telling Krista,
I'm like, um, look, I you know, there's other shows
I want to do. They'll be different showrunners and all
that other stuff, and uh, but I love you and

(46:22):
and she's like, oh, she took it so well that
I was like, oh, wow, that went better than I thought.
And then the next year, like with their first episode,
I was working on a different show. When I came home,
there was a script on my pillow with her lines highlighted,
and just like she had, she had just written things
like change, beat, punch up, Change had told me Bill.

(46:46):
Bill said to me, you know, I'm only going to
run it, you know, these three years and then it's
gonna go. I just want you to know that. Going in.
I'm like, no problem, got it, no problem. And then
it was really the week you left, it was immediately
like You're like, this works for me fine, because you'll
still do whatever I want you to do. Um, which
is how our life works. Um. I love it. I

(47:08):
would watch this ship out of this sitcom, The Real
Life Adventures of Bill and Kristal I really liked. I
don't know why. It made me so happy. And take
it back to the episode of you, Donald, You, Zack,
and uh Sarah all coming in on that first day
being because it made me it felt real because I
know it was the last one we shot, and I

(47:29):
got nostalgic because you were like, can you believe it's
our last day? I mean, and it felt very last
day of school. And I looked at that. I watched
these shows with an odd combination of pride, nostalgia, and
then you know, the old being a writer that goes
oh man. I wish we had done that differently. I
wish that was fixed that or whatever. But that moment

(47:52):
specifically made me remember what a gift it was to
have you guys all there and be so tight and
lovely and fun to hang out with in real life.
Just made me happy. I remember feeling I remember feeling
excited because I think we all knew how well the

(48:12):
show was doing at the time, and we made it
to the last episode. It was the twenty third episode
of the season. Did we do Yeah, we did twenty four.
What we did twenty three episodes that year, not including
the pilot and I remember being like, holy cow, we're
a hit. A lot of things in my life are

(48:34):
changing now, you know what I mean. I can't believe it.
As an actor, I did it. I fucking did it.
All my friends from home, you know, we're watching my
television show like it was the Cosby Show, you know
what I mean, Like it was a different world or
whatever it was, you know what I mean. We came
on after Frasier, you know what I mean. Everything was
really awesome at that moment. And so when we when

(48:57):
I watched the scene, I remember feeling great about it.
But when I watch the scene, I had the biggest
smile on my face. And it's the opening of the
show too, and you know what I mean. But I
had such a huge smile on my face because, you know,
I remember the feeling of it's a success, a part
of something successful. I'm a part of something that people
really like. And I really enjoyed the people that I

(49:18):
worked with, and uh yeah, so you know, yeah, we
were I agreed. Now, we were being genuine. That moment
is the three of us as close friends, hugging and
being like, holy sh it, this happened. We just did
twenty four episodes, of a show that's popular, and you know,
there was there. There didn't need to be much acting.
There that was that was that was very meta, very genuine.

(49:40):
Well that's what I got out of this man, the
gift of it. There's two things I wrote down. Was
one like, how great Christ it was to have see
you in it, because not only are you my wife,
but you're so good, you know, and so funny and
vulnerable and such a badass and this I loved that.
And then the one thing I wanted to say too
is my only other thing I had to reference with
you guys. You know, so there's weird parts of the narrative,

(50:03):
like how you guys keep trying to disprove that Neil
was a fignment of the imagination and uh, you'll never
ever been me. He was figurative. He didn't talk to anybody.
I don't care what you think you saw. Um. But
like one of the other narratives, which was so interesting,
uh was you know how Judy and I, uh, you know,
she would always come in at the beginning of seasons

(50:24):
and go, I can be you know, funnier and goofier,
and uh, I would always be like, you're the you know,
emotional backbone of the whole show, and this was one
of those episodes that we earned. It was it's never
one or the other, like Dot You already talked about
it when Donald is pulling Zack over to him when
they were fighting in real life. You know, one of

(50:45):
my favorite things is Judy's in the background going you
got them baby, you know what I mean, And immediately
it just made me a laugh. But then what we
wanted to do in the show was a moment. Do
you remember when you threw you two and Sarah even
though he had been your patient for the entire episode,
and one of you knew what Mr Bober looked like.
And then of course you hear Carla's voice and she says,

(51:06):
he's over here, and she knows that none of you
know him, and she's chastising you without being judgmental. And
she was the only character on our show that could
do that. You know, Dr Cox to do that moment,
would yell at you and rub your faces in it.
Kelso could never do it, and you three it was
so weird because you three were all kids to her
still grown up, you know what I mean. I think

(51:29):
it's a good example too, I mean Obviously we're doing
it about the medical profession, but I think everyone can
relate to just getting used to something and and getting
sort of cold to it. And again it gets met
up for the show too, because Donald and I can
attest that then we got used to it. We were
on a popular show and we had this awesome job,
and you know, it wasn't until it's over, and this

(51:50):
many years back we look back and go, oh my god,
not only do we have a great job that we
all love, but we were all so close, we all
got along so well. And because you know what, things
become your new normal. Yes, so it becomes your new
normal that you don't treat patients the same way. Yeah.
I I always call it in writing because I'm never
present enough and I'm trying to be more now is

(52:12):
we used to call it a don't know how good
you got it disease? You know what I mean? Because
then then we're all off doing other jobs and other
shows and remembering how great those experiences were and not
saying that we didn't all enjoy them. But in the moment,
I was never walking around going, hey, I don't know
if I'm ever gonna work on a show that I'm
proud of with these people I love and would want

(52:34):
to spend time with forever and stuff again, So I
should suck in every moment. You know what I mean?
Do you want? You've worked on nine zillion shows since Scrubs?
Is there has there been another? Um will exclude Cougar
Town because your wife was on it. Has there been
another that you um that you feel that you had
anywhere near us close to as much fun on? Uh?

(52:56):
The only thing that is close to tell you the
truth was Spin City because this way you guys are
talking was my first experience, and I had this very
weird thing that we can all hope for, which is
somebody that is a idol of yours growing up turns
out to be exactly as cool as you would want
them to be in real life, you know. And that's
who Mike Fox was, and so to grow up watching

(53:17):
his shows in his movies, and then he's respectful to
me and kind and great and so that was fun.
But I didn't leave there with lifelong friends the way
I am with you Donald, you know, Judy and Sarah
Neal and by the way, and John and Ken told
me not to say this when he was doing my podcast.
But Ken Jenkins did. By the way, did you did

(53:38):
you go out in the city with Michael J. Fox?
Uh No, he was when that show started. He was
already sick. And one of the you know, one of
the first things that you know, when I started that show,
we're taking a side and Mike and Gary said, look,
Mike's going to do a hundred episodes in four years
because he's sick, and we have to do some production
things around it and do that early. Yeah, and uh

(54:03):
but still got to, you know, with the concerts and
dinners and blah blah, and had some fun with him
and stuff. I was just thinking how cool I would
feel walking into a bar with Michael J. Fox. I
would just I'd be strutting like Donald and I in
that in that in that fantasy where we're starting on
the hall, I'd have a pimp code on. For some reason,
I love that you guys did that again. But you
changed his outfits because working out, because I've gotten it

(54:24):
was in really good shape. So I'm like, I'm the
shirtless one this time. Well, I take, by the way,
that's what friendship brings to a show. And and Christie,
this is you too. The amount of stuff that you
guys were generous enough and christ and from that you
would actually say, are doing real life um names you
would call each other, dynamics, et cetera. That made their

(54:44):
way into the show, and the lexicon could only happen
because of how close everybody was, of course, and by
the way, you could still be writing it, because if
if this show is in the modern era, Judy would
be the one who slid into my d M s
and be like, why did you post that picture at
Turk looking fat? Hey, I don't want to I don't
want to speak out of turn here, So if I'm wrong,
we could cut this out and everything. But Bill, didn't

(55:06):
you write on Friends the first season? I did? Right
on Friends the first season. Somebody got fired and so
and I came in. It was me at the end,
but at the beginning, at the beginning, I came in
and got to write on that show. And it was
such a joke heavy show and some amazing talented joke writers,

(55:26):
the main one being David Crane who created that show
went on to create episodes, and uh, he's just such
a good just a good writer. And uh, I got
to know Matthew Perry, a little bit, mostly because someone
made the joke that at different points in time I
looked like Matthews fat or older brother, skinny or younger brother,
fat or younger brother, and then skinny your older brother,

(55:48):
all depending on the two of us. Krista, by the way,
here's the worst story about Matthew Perry was relevant. Tell
them how I tricked you and how it became a
huge issue in our life when Matthew Perry directed scrubs.
No so inappropriated that sounds the fans want to hear

(56:08):
that is not going to be told. Well, imagination, My
imagin better that it won't be. My imagination is very
probably more interested than it was. I'll tell a tele
version of it. So I was friends with Matthew Perry.
We were on the same lot, but I was friends
with him before we got friends and before I started
doing Drew carry and we always used to play um.

(56:30):
We used to hang out all the time, and we
used to play paddle tests together. I loved Maddie and
we were always friends. Um actually dated a friend of his.
I did. Matthew and I were always good friends, and
we play softball together, et cetera. So Bill the whole
time since we started dating from a weekend said, um,

(56:50):
are you did you ever fool around with Matthew Perry?
And I said, no, we were just friends. And he goes,
I can't imagine that, um, that you were just friends,
because you didn't being friends with him for six years
and different times I've been saying on not once fooling around.
So so I said, no, we were just friends. No, no, no, no, no,

(57:11):
and then um, and then Bill would see us together
and you know, we were really good friends, and I
would say you were really good friends. He goes, oh, no,
I still don't believe you at all. And the week
that Matthew Perry was directing scrubs the first morning, you know,
w yeah. And I normally don't allow Bill to drive

(57:31):
to work to me because he wants to with me
because he talks all the time and I just like
listening to Howard Stern, so he can't. He keeps turning
the volume down to chat about nonsense, so I don't
let him drive to work with me. But I was
first up, which you know, it was early in the morning,
and Bill said, do you think it's going to feel
awkward for matt Perry to direct you? Since you guys

(57:55):
fooled around, and I said, no, it's gonna be fine, Bill,
and I pulled the car over and went, yes, you
know what, you know what you know I did. I
let it sit for like a year before that, having
not brought it up, and then I went, super cash,
that might just be fun today and be weird with
him directing. You said, you guys pooled around. She's like, no,

(58:17):
it's not a big deal. Oh my god, he built
you did the long play with that long play, and
I really stuck to my guns and it was such
a little thing, and but he got me. It was
just it was too early in the morning. Seven years

(58:38):
of Bill laughed the entire way for the rest of
the drive. It made me so giddy. I was. I
was just going through all the lies in my head.
It made me so happy. All Right, we have a
fan waiting and we're gonna go to break first. And
then also when we're done with the fan, I want
you to tell the story about Bill when you came
across George Clooney leaning against Christmas trailer like that. We'll

(59:02):
be right back, and we're back, and we're back, and
Joel is going to bring in Joel who are our guests?
Guests singular, our guest plural today Emily Emily use ladies

(59:26):
and gentlemen. Give it up for Emmily. That's my best Oprah.
Are you wearing scrubs? Eilymily appears to have a stethoscope, Emily,
can you hear us? Can you hear us? But Dan
has messed up again and we can't hear Emily. Emily,
can you hear us? If you need anyone for your
mediocre mixing services, I recommend stop it. I'm stopping. I

(59:49):
stopped Daniel. I love Daniel. Dan, You're the best. I'm
gonna even sing the song for you. You're the best.
No to give a shout out if you. If you're
starting a podcast and would like to only be able
to hear some of your guests, I can't recommend. She's

(01:00:11):
connecting's connecting on Daniel's laughing. Joel is just shaking her
head judgmentally at Daniel. That makes me happy. In the meantime, Phil,
have you ever seen the air freshener that somebody made
of me? Oh my goodness, what does it smell like?
It smells like apple Teeny's. Yes, I would like to
talk about the fear Factor conversation because we mentioned fear

(01:00:32):
factor on this show. And at some point in record
and and filming Scrubs, we developed Scrubs Factor and we
had a bunch of you know, and and anyone could
be a part of Scrubs Factor as long as you
were on in the Scrubs cast or crew. And I
remember someone eating hot sauce off of another person's foot

(01:00:59):
after Franklin foot after a full day of work. Yep.
And um, I remember another one was eating pigs feeds,
the whole jar of pickled pigs feet. And come by
the way, Randall would have rounded up anywhere from two
to five bucks, you know, so it would be quick cash. Yeah, listen,
I'm gonna tell you something right now. As an as

(01:01:20):
an African American man, that ship wasn't hard. Scott Scott
Harris was the one that did that. Who was another
African American may Scott Scott went for the pigs feed
and and won the cash. Yeah he went, he got
the cash, and everybody's like, eat the pigs feet. And
let me tell you something right now, that ain't ship
the easiest in the world. So you in your childhood,

(01:01:42):
when you were growing up, you would you would eat
pickled pigs feed no. So all right, so listen, this
is where soul food came from. All right, little education.
When slavery was happened, Uh, the slaves weren't given the
choice meat, so it wasn't you wouldn't get the loin
or the or anything like that. You'd get the intestines
and that's where uh, that's where chitlands comes from. And

(01:02:04):
you didn't get the you wouldn't get the meaty parts,
so you would get the hoofs and the feet and
everything like that. So that became so food later on.
So what you're saying is that Scott Harris hustled us.
He acted like it was a big deal. It was
gross and then down right. And then afterwards he came
up to me, he was like, man, that wasn't ship.
That was on the other hand, on the other hand,

(01:02:30):
by the way, there's nobody that can get me near
Franklin Godbetter's toe. There's hot sauce on it. They had
to suck the hot sauce off the big toe after
a day, after a day of work. Another one was
wasn't there something about spending an hour inside a closed mortgue? Drawer.
It was a night you had to go. You had
to sleep at night in a closed more drawer, and

(01:02:53):
no one ever took that up. That was there was.
That's a pretty advanced one. What about the young intern.
He became a barazzi now and I believe he paparazzo.
Donald SZ, thank you. He became a paparazzo, and I
believe now it's a downer. He has a brain tumored.

(01:03:14):
But he was one of our interns and painting his
face with like marker or something like that and had
to keep it on for I can't I can't remember that.
I can't remember that person, and now I feel sad. Dude,
are you sure this was scrubs? It might have been homies, Pimoni.

(01:03:35):
It was definitely scrubbs. I forget the young man's name,
but I remember it was like face He had to
do face painting for the day and something and keep
it on. It wasn't even faces painting. It was like sharpie.
He had to he had to put sharpie on his face,
and he did it and he had it on for
like a week or something like that. It was something ridiculous.
Let's get back to the episode for and then last one,
and then last one Mike Schwartz trying to eat twelve

(01:03:56):
Chrispy Cream donuts and failing, I feel like get hug
from Dr Cox that three minutes into the episode. Um,
granted it was a sarcastic hug. Sarcastic one. Yeah. I
wanted to point out that even scrubs Wicky mentions that
j D does get a Doctor Cox hug and h
in the season finale, we felt it never counted and
we went back to it because it was sarcastic almost immediately. Um. Also,

(01:04:21):
I laughed out loud when I go, um, careful tiger.
I wish people would call me tiger. Also, were those
Johnny Sees shades were always talking about John. I want
to I want to tiptoe around these oakleys because Johnny

(01:04:43):
C listens to this podcast while he works out, and
I don't want him throwing the waist down on the
ground just to just to hold on, just to just
to start it off. John, you are ripped in this episode. Yes.
Let's first of all, let me just say, I don't
know how old were you in your forties when we
started to get thirties, when we started whatever it is
it's working dog and I wish at right now, at

(01:05:03):
forty six, I looked like you did in this episode
of Scrubs. Holy cow, dude, you are ripped. That being said,
I'm not gonna say anything, but I can't imagine a
scenario that a I said, let's not shoot this scene
until we get those glasses that I saw a dude

(01:05:25):
wearing on the beach in Santa mag or be that
our wardrobe and props people laid out those is one
of the choices for his sunglasses. But those are definitely
John as we discussed them before. I think they were
his go to Oakley's dock in the day. But why orange, dude,

(01:05:46):
why are take along on a guy on a jet ski?
That's all I know. Well, they look like my mountain
biking glasses. Yes, they're not for for regular wearing around,
like Asian sunglasses that you wear when you're driving to
make it so that you could see the road better.
Boodblockers are boot blockers. I laughed out loud twelve thirty three.

(01:06:10):
When I invited him to dinner, he goes yeah, and
then he goes he goes together. I thought this is
gonna be like a gift certifically rule Oh, I said,
did I buy? I go? I go, can I buy
you dinner? And he goes sure, I go really, Oh
you mean together? Yeah? Absolutely, And that's great because I
get off from like five minutes. I can't. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(01:06:36):
I thought this was a gift certificate type situation. No, no, no,
that's pretty funny. And he thought that I was gonna
be like for you to have a dinner or or
you can just you can just tell me where you
want to eat and I'll pick it up and have
it dropped off. Now let's talk about Colin hay for
a second, because Colin Hayes first time being played on

(01:06:58):
the episode on the show was here, my mo my,
It's a beautiful world, beautiful song, beautiful world. And then
he's actually in the season two premiere, Phil did how
did Colin hay come about? Was it through Christian? Huge?
Huge huge. I get to speak for a second before
Kristin and then she has to talk, which is not

(01:07:19):
enough shout outs for uh, my wife, Zach, you were
involved and Neil was involved, but my wife on the
show for what it's you know, I know, but I
mean I have it. My wife is always been such
a key person in me and picking music for my
shows and having a taste in it that kind of
defines tonally what the show is. And she had taken
me to see Colin Hey a bunch of Largo even

(01:07:41):
before our show came out. Go ahead, CHRISTI, I'm sorry interrupted. Yeah,
So we had we had seen him at Largo, and
I loved him and I knew that he was His
music was absolutely the right tone for Scrubs, and so
we used a few of Colin's songs on the show.
Him And did you know he could act? Because I

(01:08:02):
think he had. He had been on the Larry Sanders Show, right, Bill,
I mean, how did you did you have the idea
to put him in the episode? If you it's again
it's Krista. But if you um have a chance to
see Colin at Largo, it was, you know, half music
and half him going going, I sold out Wembley Stadium

(01:08:24):
with a bunch of dudes, and now I'm playing here
for forty five of you, you know, and then just
making jokes in his own expense. And I remember he
used to say all my old mates said I should
move to Australia open a bar called the down Under
in Sydney. Come out every Saturday at midnight and play
that song and I'd be a billionaire, which is probably true,

(01:08:44):
you know what I mean? And then he just tell
jokes and stories. It's so funny. Do you want to
hear what else is funny about Colin hey So? My
uncle for two years used to produce Saturday Night Live
and I used to go in high school to watch
the musical acts at like six o'clock on a Saturday,
and then Colin hey Men at work played um Saturday

(01:09:06):
Night Live and then we we hung out with him afterwards.
He was a perfect gentleman, wasn't he like that? But
we all hung out with him afterwards. And then when
he did the show, he said to me, your uncle
gave me a chance and was so kind to me
on Saturday Night Live, and it kind of came full
circle and he was excited to see me again, and

(01:09:28):
that's cool. That's cool. I was going to see him.
I went with you, dude. Those you don't know. Largo
is a small, very small music venue. It since changed.
They probably made it bigger, but back in the day
when we were going, I don't know. It would hold
maybe a hundred people, yeah, I think less than that.
If that, maybe less than that, or maybe sixty. And
it was a bar and they served food and lots

(01:09:50):
of comedians would would would be there and musicians would
be there, and it was a really cool community. And
I hadn't heard Colins since he was in Minute Work
when I was a kid. And then he on up
and we just play his songs acoustically, just him and
a guitar, and it was so beautiful because his voice
is so incredible, and he would do some covers of
Minute Work songs, and then he would do a lot
of his his own songs, his new songs, like like

(01:10:11):
Beautiful World that's in this episode, and um, I just
don't think I'll ever get over you, which I ended
up putting in Garden State. But um, I remember that
he was very funny in the episode, and I just, uh,
I just wondered where you got the idea to actually
put him physically in the show. But there it is
from Largo. He has some good ones. And then I
just don't think I lever get you. I drinking coffee

(01:10:36):
every morning comes from my place. That's far in the
history of your podcast. People are gonna be like, when
did it go downhill? And they're gonna go when Zack
and Donald decided just to have it be them singing
favorite songs of theirs, that's kind of although I always
duck out because Donald has such a sultry, beautiful voice,

(01:10:58):
such a good voice. Yeah, I gotta say, since we're
doing go ahead, Donald, Sorry, I do love me some
Colin hey though, man, he's such a lovely man as well. Yes,
I didn't know if for the show thing yet that
I can give my both positive and bone chilling reaction
to Donald already said you know, and when dr when

(01:11:20):
Johnny c says, why don't you stir stir some things up?
When she comes to that table of all you happy
people at the end and decides to rip our show
apart for the next year, it gave me such glee,
both to watch how it was performed and how it
affected every relationship, but also because you guys are all
so close in many ways to your you know, your

(01:11:41):
spirits and your personas in real life. It gave me
chills because I've had I've been one of the people
sitting at that table before with my sons. When my
wife comes in and says thing. He's like, let me,
let me talk to you guys about the behave here
yesterday when you just get small and just immediately have
the By the way, I think Zack's voiceover says, oh,

(01:12:02):
but the I've had so many of those, and it
was so cool to watch you do it, my love.
He was so good. Yeah, you did a great job
without that monologue. Do you remember did you work a
lot on that or did you wing it? I mean,
you know what you guys probably don't remember is that
that scene was shot on a Wednesday, and we did
Drew Carry on a Tuesday night, and for some reason

(01:12:24):
there was a mess up and I didn't get the script. Um.
I was doing Drew Carry late and I didn't get
the script for the what that monologue was till midnight,
and I was so mad at Bill. I was like,
why didn't they deliver me the script early? But it
builds like it was out since seven, So I was
insane and then so I had to learn it and

(01:12:45):
Drew went really late that night. I remember being so annoyed,
and I was first up, so I had about five
hours of sleep and I didn't know it that well,
and I had only you know, I was in a
regular show. I had only done one or two episodes
with you guys that season. No, this is fourth maybe
not a lot though, And I came in, I had

(01:13:07):
this monologue and you guys and I kept messing up
the lines, and I started getting into a shame spri
and it was Donald. You were like, you got this.
You've already done it. You've got it. You were so
kind to me. Donald, you probably don't remember. And I
was like, you were like, take a deep breath, you

(01:13:27):
got it. You've done it already. You're just now getting
into your head. I was just telling you all of
the stuff that they would tell me all year around.
He was just regurgitating all the ship people that said
to him. By the way, you know what part of
it was to my love is um. I remember because

(01:13:48):
you were working on his show as a regular in
which you had two tries to get it start to finish,
you know, because it was multicam. And I remember all
of us trying to tell you, no, you've never done
it the way you want from the beginning to the end.
But you've done every part the way you want, you
know what I mean? And then we're gonna cut and
you've really made you upset. I remember that now. Yeah,
But then we got it in one take. And then

(01:14:10):
I also thought, um, this single camera is different, like
I had to do a different way of having to
learn things. But you know, and also it doesn't matter.
I realized when you get there, no one cares that
you're working on another show and you were up till
one in the morning. Everyone just expects you to know
it and be great all the time. And it was
just it was a good lesson for me, and I

(01:14:32):
love Also that monologue was so good. I didn't want
to mess it up. I think you did a great job.
I think it's a great way to It was a
really clever way to end the season too, Bill, because
you know, you can't you have to have some sort
of cliffhanger. And and the whole episode is that we're
all working as a team, and you've got this montage
set to Colin Hay where we're all coming together and
solving a problem. Is like, you can't end a season

(01:14:54):
like that. You've got to You've got to blow it
up and uh, And then I thought that was really
clever how you had just Christo just come in and
just fucking destroy everybody, dismantle at all. My favorite part
was that I wrote it down. Apparently j D is
very good in bed um that had not been disgusting
yet by no, you know, because we didn't see our love.
Be careful, be very careful, you know how to make

(01:15:17):
it uncomfortable. It was, that's what you say these guys
that Krista, they've already done a thing of joking around that.
I like watching you kiss other people, which I do not.
I don't know. Don't make by the way, don't make
that expression, even though people can't see this, don't make

(01:15:38):
the expression. Don't don't you're by the way, I'm a
second way from spreading up there for stop hugging. You're
not allowed five. That's a good point. I picture there's
like a bike lock on the outside of the door,
and Crista unlocks it at four fifty nine, you know what. Also,

(01:16:00):
but changing the subject that that moment never happened. You
can edit that out. I'm sure it's gone. The uh
I liked after you gave your speech, and I haven't
given enough props to Johnny c and Ken. First of all,
Johnny sees ability to make intense anger seem immediately real.
I found myself intimidated even and couldn't imagine what it

(01:16:21):
was like, you know, Donald, you and Zach had to
do it all more than anybody to act in the
face of that fury. I mean, and he Oh my goodness,
it's so loud and so not TV anger that and
and I contrasted that too. This was the beginning of
one of the things, you know, when I say I
watched the show and just like stuff and love other stuff. Uh.

(01:16:44):
Ken Jenkins as a man was so funny and not
just the personified villain, you know, and one of the
first things that got us there because he starts changing
in the second year. He goes to speak to Johnny
C after that speech and does the biggest car, the
biggest cartoons spin around, and it's so funny. And I'm like,

(01:17:06):
oh man, that dude is funny and we should let
him be human and quirky and weird. Um, I wish
you'd come on the show. But he's always moving. He's
still moving while while we hadn't maybe he didn't rent
a truck and he's just just doing it by hand.
While we have you here, Bill, here's a question that
all of the fans are asking us, you know, quite

(01:17:27):
a bit, and I know it has a lot to
do with schedule or anything like that, but if you
could ever see another incarnation of Scrubs, what would be
your dream or your if you had to do it,
what would how would you like to see Scrubs revisited? Uh? Yeah, yeah.

(01:17:48):
I love the characters so much, and um, I think
one of the things that we tried to do on
that show is it was an era in which on
the sitcoms I grew up with, everybody stayed the exact
same from episode one to episode two, and I like
to feel that people grew and aged and matured and so,

(01:18:12):
you know, like it's it's at one point, by the way,
Zack and Donald Christopher are constantly pitching me that maybe
we should just go shoot Um dr Acula and which
would which would be fun? Admittedly the two of them
making that movie, and I think it'd be hilarious, But man,
I'd love to see who j D was as an
adult and a father, and who Donald, you know, was

(01:18:37):
with Judy and with their kids, And I just would
want to visit with these people again. That's why I
find the idea of doing a whole another series daunting,
but the idea of visiting with them and seeing where
their lives are at and seeing, you know, how they
react to medicine. I'll tell you the example for it
is real j D. Okay, not many people know this,

(01:19:00):
but the real j D was a young cardiologist when
we started the show. Then he became a heart surgeon
and a cardiologist, and then he became so beloved um
by the interns and residents. He became a huge teaching
figure and ultimately the CEO of the kelso of the hospital.
He runs the whole hospital of Kaiser in Los Fielas,

(01:19:22):
and in fact is running their COVID command center now.
And the fact that he has gone from the beginning
to that very same kind of patriarchal figure that you
guys needed. I'd love to see j D and Turk
doing that for other young people. I would hope that
they'd still love medicine. That's it, and Emily is here.

(01:19:42):
It is working. I am so so sorry. Don't worry, Emily.
It's not you that we missed every Emily. Emily, I'm
gonna be honest with you. You are worse than Sarah,
but we are still very excited show. Sarah had two
tries and and mess them both up, whereas Emily is

(01:20:03):
just joining us for the first time. Emily, Emily, you
blew it, but it's okay. I'm gonna give you a
speech to Bill gave me. I need you to come
in here and bring the energy that you were going
to bring the first time. That is a callback. That's
a callback to Donald's first audition. Al right ahead, Emily,

(01:20:24):
what's your question? You have Bill Lawrence, you have Kristin Miller,
Donald Phazon and myself. Hi everyone, and all right, so
I had I didn't know that Bill and Christo were
going to be on originally, so I changed my question
a little bit. And since I think you guys are
talking about this season finale, which UM talks about like

(01:20:46):
all the impact that the characters had, I'm sorry to
cut you off. I'm sorry to cut you off. I
have to cut you off. I'm sorry. You have a
stethoscope on. Is that a stethoscope? Nope, this is my braid.
But this is my name badge with my goal. Okay,
are you a doctor or are you I'm not I'm
a E. M. T. Phlebotomist Combo. I'm calling from the

(01:21:07):
office right now. I'm hiding in the break room. That's awesome.
Thank you so much for all the stuff you do.
And I've got surgeries going on through the other door.
Oh my god, that is amazing. First of all, thank
you very much. Thank thank you guys. You guys inspired me.
That's all right off here, but sorry, that's actually part
of my question is I'm I'm going to use the

(01:21:30):
just because I'm not a doctor and nurse yet, so
I'm just an e m T phi botomist. But have
you guys heard from other fans any amazing stories where
they said that you got your show inspired them. And
that's for all four of you. I'll go first. Yeah,
all the time I will. I will encounter nurses and

(01:21:53):
doctors and paramedics and e m T s who say
Scrubs was the thing that that got them into it.
Some say they had no interest before and and and
and and Scrubs and and the camaraderie and all the
adventure made them want to do it. And then some
say they were thinking about it and Scrubs put them
over the edge. Um, but yeah, I mean throughout my

(01:22:13):
life Um, there's been lots and lots of people and
sometimes I'll be walking along the street and people be
like they'll do adult take because they're excited to see me,
and I go to talk to me like weird weird doctors.
We just graduated bed school and we scrub as our
favorite thing. So it's it's such a good feeling. I mean,
to the fact that we could have inspired anybody is
is a really really good feeling. I'm sure you guys

(01:22:34):
have had the same experience, right absolutely. That's also why
we you know, we did the podcast. Also, this is
this isn't just for the fans of Scrubs. This is
also for everyone out there in the medical community, you
know what I mean. Just the respect and the love
that we have for all of you guys is immense.
And so you know, when we we were on a

(01:22:55):
show that was a love letter to everybody and that
community as well. And so this is all about y'all.
So if it inspires anyone, if it makes anyone, if
it makes anyone feel like they want to get into
medical it makes me happy that I was a part
of something that you know, has turned people's lives around.

(01:23:16):
You know, I didn't know what I wanted to do
then I saw Scrubs, and now I'm a doctor or
now i'm uh, you know, I work in the medical profession.
So absolutely it happens all the time. And I'm I'm
very I'm I'm very proud that I was on something
like this that's reached out and touched so many people.
What about you, guys, Bill Krista, I always you know, Bill,

(01:23:39):
if he sees a new doctor or has to get
his tooth pulled, it's the first thing he drops right
that comes out fast, like it fast. I often have people,
um say to me, doctors and nurses will say that

(01:24:03):
Scrubs was the first show that they felt accurately portrayed
what it's like to be an intern and a resident,
you know, in terms of all the stories that you
guys did, and the and the reality of how hard
it was now tiring, et cetera. And Bill didn't the
A m A come out and say we were the
most accurate show. They did, they said, we're the most

(01:24:24):
accurate medical show. And first of all, Emily, thanks for
doing what you do. That's super cool. Um, and uh, secondly,
you know, it's really weird. We're gonna. I'm sure we'll
talk about all this stuff too on other podcasts, if
you ever nice enough to have me and or Krista
back or Emily back or on Emily's podcast. But um,
when you're involved in creating something and it's been years,

(01:24:46):
if you're you know it's even presumptive to call yourself
an artist, you look at these things and you go,
here's what I got right, Here's what I got wrong,
Here's what I wish I could fix, Here's what I
wish I could change. And the one thing that I
has thought we got right top to bottom, actors, directors,
everybody else was because of the real j D said,

(01:25:07):
We're allowed to do as many jokes as we want
as long as you make it clear how much the
doctors and nurses truly care and how much they will
give everything for patients. And the fact that the A
m A this year. You know howevery many years after
we wrapped twenty year anniversary at the start whatever it was,
asked all of you guys to do their graduations since

(01:25:30):
their graduations got canceled for all the new young doctors.
Meant so much to me that you guys are still
part of the lexicon of young people, you know, who
aren't going into medicine anymore to be wealthy like the
old cliches, are going into it to be of service
and to do something really important. That's probably the best
thing I'll take from this show. And that's why it's
so cool to talk to people like Emily. Hey, Emily,

(01:25:53):
it seems like you have a lot of people in
the room. What you want to turn the thing around?
She got called into surgery, she got they were like
we need you on the doors, saying do not disturb it.
Let him come in and let me come in. Them
in and let them Two doctors and a nurse just
walk in, and they're like, guys, are they out there
in the hall right now? Are they tell him to

(01:26:16):
come in? Don't? Yes, Yes, Zach I want to say, dude,
man should be the freaking queen of the freaking Are okay, guys?
The Scrubs podcast wants to see you all. There's a
lot of you right about to say yes, that's part

(01:26:41):
of my clinic, right. That's very cool in my mind. Emily.
They were like, we need you stat he's coding, and
you were like, shut up, I'm on the podcast. The
fact that that hasn't happened yet. All right, do you
have another question for us, Emily? I do, and it's
a little sillier. Go ahead, all right. So, knowing how
big of lame is fans you guys are for Christa

(01:27:08):
or maybe musicals in general, in any Broadway play or production,
which character and which play? Oh, I would be Jean
bel Jean, you know, but was here. I'm not getting excluded,
and I would be Jean Beljean. But I would do
it in Paris because I would sing it all port servitude,

(01:27:33):
that's miss in French. That's the only person I know
that can sing pieces of names in French. Donald, Who
would you be if I could be anyone in any
Broadway show? Wow? You know the one musical that I
loved growing up was Mary Poppins, and we were very
lucky to have Dick Van Dyke on the on Scrubs
for one episode. So if I could be any character

(01:27:56):
that he played on Broadway, I would love to be
Burt from Mary Poppins. You'd kill it, you kill it.
I would love that. I'd even do that. I'd even
do the fake accent and everything. I'd sunk up the
accident on purpose, oh Mary Poppins. But yeah, Christie, you
would go if Donald started Mary Poppins, I really, I

(01:28:19):
would call you every day and be like, Krista, I
gotta ticket for you. Christie, didn't you come to mind
Broadway Musical? You'd go for Donald? I did. I would
go for Donald. But why are you guys pressuring me?
Because this would be one of those things where I
pressure you, So I'd be like, yo, come on, really
I would go for Donald. I wouldn't. I'd be mad
at him after. I'm probably too old to do it now.

(01:28:42):
I'm not sure, but I always wanted to do Annie
as Annie. And I'm not sure if it's too late,
but maybe Emily and see if Zach or Donald and
Christi can finishes Emily. One of my favorite lines from
a secondary character on the show was Nurse Roberts had
to weave early Pip. You know what I love about

(01:29:16):
that bill We talked about thought on the show. It's
that Nurse Roberts was offended that you would think her
nephew would be anything, but the league showed she had.
She had attitude like pipping bitch. If the show the
show is god Spell, it would have been god god, um, well, Emily,

(01:29:40):
thank you. We're gonna keep you on because the show
is ending. We've done the show, We've gone through it all.
As Howard Stern always says, Christa, what does he say?
So you've said it all. We've said it all. You've
said too much. We've said too much. We said it all.
I want to thank you Bill and Christa because this
was fun. We did a whole season, you guys. We

(01:30:00):
we did a whole season of Scrubs rewatch podcast. Congratulations. Yeah,
it's really I want to thank Joel and Daniel to
not Daniel after today, but no, no, they're both so kind.
I think Dan does not deserve thank you for today.
I disagree with you, Zach. I disagree with you. I

(01:30:21):
agree to tell you something right now. You guys don't
know this out there every Tuesday and Thursday. If it
wasn't for Daniel and Joel, y'all wouldn't hear such crisp
recordings and great high Larry. Look, if it wasn't for them,
we wouldn't be here on your podcast radio thing, whatever
it is that thank you. I will listen. Listen. They're

(01:30:46):
not talking again. I want Yeah. I fell asleep while
you were doing that monologue. Listen. I want to thank
these guys. They do a fantastic job. I want to
thank everybody for listening. This has really been fun. Donald
and I thought this would be a fun, little entertaining
thing to do UM, but then COVID happened and it
became our only job and it's been so much fun
and Uma escape to and it's hearing everything. Everybody's reaction

(01:31:11):
to it has been been a blast. So so thank you,
Thank you for Bill for making all of this happen.
Thank you to Christopher Um so many things, including as
Bill said, so much of the music that y'all love
UM on Scrubs was chosen by Christa. So don't forget
to tell your friends, please spread the word. Don't forget
to rate the show. Remember like the Uber Driver five

(01:31:31):
stars five stars, because apparently that that that helps our
our standing in the ranks, and we're very competitive. We
like to be high in the ranks. We want to
also thank We also want to thank all of our
all of the crew members from this show and all
of the directors who came on the show. Uh, you know,
after this season, when this season ended, the tone was
now set and Uh, anyone who came in was now

(01:31:55):
playing in this big arena. That Bill, the directors and
Krista and Neil created with the music and the show,
the tone was set. And so we want to thank
we want to thank the directors. Give Neil a little
more credit than he deserves it. But he was one
of the she knows, Krista knows. It's just Neil. Neil.

(01:32:17):
By the way, I didn't do the music, Neil. Yeah,
I know. You didn't do the music with Neil, but
he did some of the music. And every time he
gets mentioned, don't don't give him any credit. I love
Neil Goldman, but he didn't do the music with me.
Can we uh? I love you, guys, Donald, I love
you is Zach, I love It makes me so happy
to see Emily. I feel like we're tighter. Um my wife,

I get I hope I get to do it again.
But can we do a group happy eight to get
out of the show. We can, and we're gonna let
Emily participate. And Joel and Dan you should turn off
turn on your mic so you can participate. I feel
it's the last one of the year. I'm gonna have
to come up with a different gag next year. You
are going to need a new gag Bill because uh
we have Merched coming. And as I said earlier, it's

(01:33:00):

stop hug. You will soon be able to get a
stop hug mug. Everyone's gonna want to get that when
the world opens back up. We hope to tour the
