Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well I was there.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
He is one minute late.

Speaker 3 (00:03):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
I knew you were going to say something.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I knew you're going that's how you're doing it now.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
One minute late, tries. I've never been anything but five
minutes early. I knew you were going to say something.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Shit, one minute late, and you got a hat on
and everything. Look at you. You got a little scully on.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Don't you find this? Weather in La is like if
you stand in one spot, it's hot, and if you
stand in another spot it's cold.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Isn't that called global warming?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
No, it's probably called fall in La because in the
sun you could wear a bathing suit and then in
the shadows I need my hat.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Isn't that called global warming?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's voting day. This is fucking election day, everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's it's a cow. Yeah. First of all, you voted already, obviously.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yes, of course I went and dropped it off in
the ballot box in West Hollywood. Hell I did.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
I did so myself, not in West Hollywood, but uh
in my neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'm really excited about the turnout so far, Yes I am.
I you know, you guys aren't gonna hear this until
what what what it is?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Election Day? It'll be Tuesday, Election Tuesday. We need to
be encouraging people who haven't done it to do it.
That's why we're here, not only Scrubs podcast. We're gonna
tell you to vote.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, No, that's not why we're here.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
But not only, but not only that Tonight for all
of you who've gone out and voted already, you get
to watch television and watch the election. And this probably
is gonna be like they're taking bets on this election.
This is the most anyone has ever put money down on.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
We need to warn people as a public service announcement, right,
Daniel and Joel, that we may not know these results
on Tuesday. Trump is very very very very committed to
saying we need to know the results that night. That's bullshit.
Because of the incredible surge of mail in voting. Some
some states aren't even allowed to start counting until the

(02:00):
day of. So everyone needs to be prepared and prepare
their friends that this might not be the typical situation
where we know the result that night tonight. Sorry, I
have to speak like work like it's Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Probably closer to two thousand when we had the whole
like hanging Chad Florida votes kind of thing happening. It'll
be a similar situation of that, where probably a week
or so after we'll have a final.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Florida Florida once again. Florida once again is the biggest.
Whoever wins. Florida is probably going to win this election
once again, and Ohio to probably, but Pennsylvania once.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Again is really the one. Pennsylvania at the end. I'm
the surprise of you because there is a little Texas
talk about Texas Flipper, which would be.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Texas all of a sudden too. That would be amazing, right.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
That feels like a long shot, but there is talk
of Texas Flipper.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
More people voted this year in Texas already than they
voted in two thousand and four years ago, in two
thousand and.

Speaker 5 (02:59):

some of you will RecA. I told Donald that I
arranged for him to get a very special present. The

He doesn't open it live on the air. He opens it,
he posts about it, doesn't even text me. He doesn't
even say, like, dude, thanks for hooking it up.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
It didn't say it was from you. It said Side

I'm trying my hardest not to curse.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I'm gonna respect.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
I'm going to respect Star Wars so much that I'm
gonna curb my.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Language when talking about Star Wars.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
But it's so amazing, dude, it is so it was Listen,
I I enjoyed it so much, and a friend of
mine's in it, and it was just It was just
something that I, you know, somebody who I played basketball
against and somebody who I played, you know, on the
same team, and also you know celebrity all Star games
and stuff like that is on the Mandalorian Uh in

(08:44):
this episode and has some iconic stuff going on with
him and I just it was just really awesome to see.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
I watched it twice. I loved it about It was
really good. So much more improved is here is a
lot on season one. I think they learned a lot
from how they shot it. I feel like there's a
lot more depth. I thought the Western aspects of its
sword and there's like, ah, the way that they bring
up small things in the background of the movies and

(09:15):
the center of the show is just like it just
fills your Star Wars heart with love.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Analy you see it yet, No, I have not watched
it yet.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I think I have to wait for my girlfriend. She's
she's out of town but back tomorrow. I'm pretty sure
I have to wait she's because you know, I don't
know how it is with you and your life.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I didn't wait for my wife.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
There are shows that we get in we have to
wait or we have you know she you know, we
share it. She loves it too, so we watch it together.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Have you started watching a bachelor yet?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
You know what I have to do? I give this.
I didn't watch that ship.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
You don't watch the Bachelor, Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I mean I I, well, this is the one. It's
the Bachelorette right now, right, Yeah, I didn't. I watched
like the first episode. I was like, this is so stupid.
Why am I watching this?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, gosh, you know what, sure that candy? You watch
it with your wife's and you watch it because that's
something you watch with your wife.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Daniel. It's so tasty.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's so tasty.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's so tasty.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
You're just kids.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
It's like you're it's like you're going to see a
Marvel movie and you've got all of the freaking candy
in your lap.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's the Marvel movie for drama.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh my god'.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Just like I don't like it. I don't like the
ones where it's men competing.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's best to see how petty men can.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Be from way more entertaining.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, my brother, no, my bro, that's like that's like
freaking stereotypical.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
You you you you, that's.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
What's rather watch a bunch of women. Are you going
to watch a bunch of men? Are you?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I'm sorry, no, it's way funnier to watch men try
to stay in between the lines of not getting punched
in the face and still trying to insult somebody.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I saw the funnies. I seemed in love with the
black guy, who's the first guy she met. It was like, oh,
it seems like it's over. She was, just like, it is.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
It is over.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
A new bachelorette beyond, a new bacheloretto beyond, and the
two of them run off together.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
In the middle of the in the middle of the show,
episode third episode.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
In the third episode, Disney ABC, You're welcome for this,
for this, for this. Yah, yeah, you're shameless, shameless, and.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Some people might be upset by spoolers, but I don't
give a fuck you're telling me, she prey. Like three
episodes in, and they have been changed.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
The person out it is, they changed the bachelor running
out and and and and some of the dudes like
and you see, like, especially after like all of the
me too stuff has happened, and you start to realize,
you start to recognize as a man some of the
things that aren't acceptable anymore and how men talk to
women and how all of that happens and stuff like that.
You really see some well, at least one dude just

(12:01):
go into like a tirade where it's like, dude, your
power move.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
You're trying to pull a power.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Move on this on this young lady and that is
totally whack. And then then she flips it and she's
pulling power moves on these dudes just for this one dude,
just for this one guy.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Man, it's like, it's it's it's it's I.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I I when it came on The Bachelor at dude
fucking Marvel movie when it came on.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
When it came on, I told my wife I'll be
in the other room, please don't bother me. I went
to the fridge to get like some like some uh
uh GT's kombucha. Yeah, and uh as I'm grabbing the kimbucha.
Within seconds, I was already making my way towards the couch,

(12:47):
asking wait, what.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
It's like it's it's the only thing that you and
your wife watched together.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, because she's into all of that freaking you know,
forty eight hours and you know, I murder it.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
What about sports? So she watched the sports with you.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yeah, she's you know, she's the one that got me
into football. I wasn't really into football unless the Giants
were involved, you know, when I was a kid. And
I became a grown man and met my wife at
you know, thirty something years old in my early thirties,
and she took me to my first football game ever.
And she took me to see a New York team
play her hometown team. And it was like and we

(13:26):
sat in the box of the quarterbacks and shit like that.
It was like, yeah, well, you know, her best friend
was dating the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
And the Dallas Cowboys at the time. Yeah, or they
were about or they were about to date.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
But anyway, it was one of the and it was
Thanksgiving and it was like my first time not really
flying home, and you know, I didn't. I was divorced
from my ex wife, God rest her soul, and I
saw I'm not going over to their house and spending
Thanksgiving with my kids. And she took me to the
Dallas for my first time really in Dallas to a

(14:00):
football game. And this was very early in our relationship,
and I got to hang out with, you know, the
quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and other players. It was
really cool and she got me into football, and now
I know more about football than she does.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
All right, we get in the show. Donald, why don't
you count us into some fun, fun, fun programming with
our favorite numbers five.

Speaker 10 (14:25):
I'm not sure we made about a bunch of docs
and nurses.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
Said, He's a story nephew.

Speaker 10 (14:38):
So yeah, yeah, welcome.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
To the program, everybody. We are so appreciative that you
listen to this. H We are so appreciative of you
liking just sitting around chatting with us all. We love
doing it for you. And Donald is going to summarize
the show as he often does. Often takes them roughly
thirty seven seconds. We never know what's going to happen.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Okay, so this one, with this one, I had to
I watched the show earlier and then I went out
and did my daily stuff and came back. And now
that I look at my notes, I like what I wrote,
but I feel like I missed a couple of things.
So there might be a little bit of ad libbing
in this to all.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay, so this is exciting for fans. Donald may Riff,
he may what do you call when a rapper, just
this is a freestyle.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Well this is well yeah, because it's not off the top,
so there is a bit of freestyle in it.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Like in my freestyle, as you are spinning some bars,
you may freestyle.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
That's my dude, right there?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Can I ask us? I had no questions when guys
are like Eminem, like spitting freestyle bars, don't you think
they have it all that shit memorized? They're not really
fucking no.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
But that's the difference between freestyle and off the top
of a head. So off the top of the head
is when it's completely you're making it up right there
at that moment.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Freestyle is when you're giving people.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Bars that you've written and put together already h for free,
you know what I mean, and people get to listen
to your stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
But that video when Eminem was like in the garage and.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
He was like, no, that was off. That was off
the top of the head. Problem believe that he's you're
talking about? When he's which one are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I don't watch a lot of this, but I remember,
like a few years ago, one or two years ago,
Eminem was like in a parking garage and all his
boys were sitting on a car, right, that did a
big spoof of it.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, that was a big That was a Beet Awards.
I believe that was off the top of the head.
I believe that was off the top of the head.
I feel like when rappers do freestyle, the verse is
a little bit more Daniel. You could correct me if
you believe I'm wrong, but I feel like the verse
is a little bit more pol when it's freestyle. Like
so if somebody goes on the radio and they're like,

(17:03):
spit a couple of bars and they're like, all right,
this is freestyle. It's just like a bunch of songs
that they put together or a bunch of lines that
they put together just for and it's not necessarily in
an order. But when it's but when it's off the
top of the head, they're just coming in and saying,
all right, I'm not gonna say anything that I've written before.

(17:25):
This is all about right now, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
I wanted to offer a slightly different perspective on the
same idea as a DJ. I would very rarely plan
DJ sets like I would rarely plan this song goes
into this song, goes into this song, goes into this song,
because I've been DJing for a very long time, and
with that in my head already, I have hundreds and
hundreds of one two three song combinations that I know

(17:51):
we're gonna work well together. So it's a freestyle freestyle,
right exactly. So over that set, I may be putting
together a couple of different pieces that I already know
work together in a set that I'm not necessarily planning.
So maybe the order of the songs I've played I've
never ever played before, but it doesn't mean that a
couple of those transitions I don't know very very well.
And I think it's the same thing with freestyle rap.

(18:12):
These guys have, you know, worked with these themes and
motifs and all of this stuff so much that a
lot of those rhymes, a lot of those you know,
lyrical plays are pieces that they've done over and over
and over, maybe not in that order, maybe not on
that topic, but it's a subject, it's a method that
they're very familiar with, so it's kind of, you know,
I don't want to say easier, but it's like it's
it's part of the practice, right.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
I guess I'm just cynical when people are like supposedly
coming up with it, not like freestyle, just like totally totally,
totally fresh, and I'm like, come on, buddy, you've.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Well, there are some people that do have that talent, though,
there are some people that you know, to go into
a recording booth and do your verse and do it in.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
One take is a talent, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
That means you've not only worked on it, but you're
so connected to the beat that you're able to ride
the rhythm.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Also, you know, that's different a guy goes in, doesn't
he usually write it out when he goes into the
coin booth.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Well, sometimes he writes it at that moment and then
goes in or as jay Z. Jay Z is one
of the masters of freestyle. O Lil Wayne, he was
one of the masters of freestyle. But if you don't
write your rhymes and you just try to think of
it in your you know, you think about Biggie the
Notorious b ig is the king of this where he
would sit in the studio and just listen to the beat,

(19:34):
and as he listened, he'd sit there and rehearse it
in his head right, and then as it went on,
as it got to the point where you know, you know,
like you know, I don't know how long it would take.
He'd be like, all right, I'm ready. And if he'd
go into the booth and drop what he was rehearsing
to do that, that's freestyle to me, you know what

(19:56):
I mean, Like it's like in my mind, all right,
I'm gonna say this, this, this and this and and
at this part, I'm gonna try and freak it like
this okay, And then I said right right right, and
then always go back and when you listen to it,
the ah and the you know what I mean, him
catching the beat, all of that shit is so raw
because it's it's not written, it's it's him feeling it
and being in it. That's a bit of freestyle right there,

(20:19):
you know what I mean. That's a that's a and
that's what makes the great ones. Jay Z is another
one that does that. I heard Lil Wayne somebody that
does that. I heard He just would just go on
for days, sit in front of a little microphone and
a keyboard and just rap and rap and rap and
rap and rap and rap and rap and rap and
rap and rap and rap.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's how it was when I did my passover rap
that I sang for you guys a while back.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
And did you sing your passover rap or was that.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
On something else? Didn't I do my passover rap for
you guys?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I don't think so. I don't think I've ever heard
your passover wrap.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Yeah you said, yeah, you did your passover wrap?

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah yeah, Donald, Yeah, when you were talking, you were talking,
it was sane. Halen Zach took a trip to Boston.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Uh something about like something like the reasons?

Speaker 10 (21:05):
I know?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Just remember your comb? Yeah, now I was fired, Donald,
Thanks for remembering.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I remember, dog? What can we hear it again?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah? One day, four people took a trip to Boston, Elayine,
halen Zach, and an Auti five thousand. The reason for
the trip was passover time. If we snood some bread
and it would be a crime. Just remember, on this
five hour trip McDonald's then Burger King, we would skip.
The reason for this deed was pass over time. If
we snooked some bread and it will be a crime.
Why don't we go so far when we could pray

(21:35):
at home? The reason was unknown? Just remember your comb.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
That slick ma. You know you know what I love
about that? I love about what.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I love that as a youth, you understood that your
parents were just taking you on this long ass journey
so that you would not think about food. But on
this journey you guys passed McDonald's and Burger King and
all of these.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
This was at the time of like the Beastie Boys,
like fight for Your Right to Party era, right, So
that was my introduction as a Jewish kid in North Jersey.
I didn't know anything about any other rap really, other
than the Beastie Boys singing you Gotta fight, Oh you're right.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's the only Beastie Boys you knew as.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
No I knew the whole album. I'm just saying that
I I you can go ahead and make your jokes
that that was my introduction to rap. But that's what
it was.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Let me ask you one question, but one that record.
What was your favorite song?

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I would have to look at the track list. I
don't have a memorized the one with the plane right,
and the one with the plane on.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah. Now, did you like Paul Revere at all?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yes, I even got some of that memorized.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I think that's one of the best.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I didn't like this. I didn't like that I did
it with it with a ball back. So the run
the cops got my gun and run about. Now I'm
trying to have some fun. They can't got rock that
is my name? And I got the flats, fared about
the champagne.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, zb got old school, y'all?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
All right, come on, let's talk about this fucking TV show, Scrubs.
That's why people are here. Oh wait, all right, so
do your recap? Ready?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
And start.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Calor and Elliott are best friends thanks to Eric a strata.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Doctor Kelso orders the hospital stethoscopes, but pays the price
for trying to cut the corners JD's dating Jordan's sister,
and Cox hates this so much that he tries to
sabotage it. No relationship is perfect. You have to nurture
all relationships, all of them, whether they be at work
or with a person, and oftentimes just showing up isn't enough.

(23:37):
Effort is required, and sometimes it's hard to muster up
the energy to do so because life is exhausting. But
if you have love, you fight for it. If you
love what you do, you follow through. Your effort and
attention to others' needs could be what's required to save

(23:57):
a relationship.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Amen. Amen, Relationships are hard. Don you got to work
at it.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
You gotta work.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
But it's not just But it's not you know, I
you know, that's that's that's the theme of this show.
But it's not just you know, with another person. Your
relationship with your job is just as important your relationship
with you know, how you are with the outside world.
If that I don't I don't know. I don't know
how you would describe that relationship. But who you are

(24:24):
when you step in front of the world is just
as important as you know, how you manifest and nurture
your personal relationship.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Question is in all your relationships do you want to
put in the work or do you want to run.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Or right right? Or do you want to or do
you want to just see what happens?

Speaker 4 (24:42):
And and you know, Cox and jd are a perfect
example of two dudes. I just wanted to get the
fuck out of the hospital and you know, because of
this annoying patient and realize at dinner that they're being
a little too insensitive and that holy cow, maybe we

(25:03):
you know, we're not seeing the signs because we're not
paying attention to our job. We're not doing the best
that we're not being the best that we can be,
and we're not listening to what this young lady is
saying to us.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
And and so.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
At the end when they rushed back to the hospital
when they realize what the problem is, you know that
that really that was a big moment for me because
this episode isn't necessarily my favorite episode.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
It's not necessarily the fast.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Did you find it odd though? I mean, it didn't
cross their minds that she I mean, she fucking ate pesticide,
Like they didn't cross their mind that, like she might
be suicidal. I thought that was a little weird.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
That was very well, you know, we were like.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
We've done all these tests and we even sent some
people to your house, and we just can't figure out
why there might be pesticide in your system. I don't know.
I just thought was a little weird. It's you know, hey,
but what do I know. I'm not a genius. Bill Lawrence,
who showed Ted Lasso just got picked up for two
more seasons.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's amazing congratulation.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
You know how big that show is internationally and domestically.
That I mean, they picked it up for they haven't
even started season two, and they picked up two and three.
That's so crazy because speaking.

Speaker 10 (26:13):
Of interrupting.

Speaker 11 (26:20):
A compliment, interrupting Bill, Oh, he's into all right, I'm
trying to.

Speaker 10 (26:29):
This.

Speaker 11 (26:30):
I've missed you guys. You're doing a great job on
my podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
So here is the question for today, and don't cheat
my fifteen seconds. Every time you guys entered Jill Tracy's room.
Doctors only spend fifteen seconds with a patient average, and
a clock comes up. One question one. Do you think
that's a real thing or that we made it up

(26:59):
for the show?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
I think it must be a real thing. It's too
weird to not to me, it's too random and weird
to have been made up. It does feel short as
someone who's unfortunately spent a bunch of time in hospitals
in the last few years. But I feel like he
wouldn't pull that out of his butt.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I think they made it up.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, all right, let's find out wrong or right.

Speaker 11 (27:23):
It's not really a real thing, and we did make
it up for the show, because I find that if
you put a small dramatic thing like that in there
that people believe it actually kind of helps your storytelling.
But the even more crafty cheating aspect to this. Every

(27:44):
time you went in there and the fifteen second clock
showed up, do you think it was actually fifteen seconds?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, it wasn't. I know that. I know that from
scrubs Wiki. I'm sorry that's a bit of a cheat,
but they scrubs Wiki, of course points out how those
segments are by no means fifteen seconds. Let's find out
correct it was not.

Speaker 11 (28:05):
I think one of them might even be twenty seven
or thirty seconds. But we just slowed down the countdown
so we could do whatever we want. And that's how
you cheat in television.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
There you go, Thank you, interrupting Bill for that.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
I like that. That was a very fun interrupting Bill
for me.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
It was you know why. You know, I thought, because
he's the top show runner in town this week, that
he might come on extra cocky. But no, he held
it together, He held his ego and check.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I'm actually going to dinner.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm going to dinner with him and Christa tonight. So
if there's anything you want me to do them, you.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Know, tell them I'm getting in shape. I got a
job that's gonna, you know, make me get in shape
for a little while.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
What Are you hiding from the audience? What job is this?
Do you not want to talk about it?

Speaker 2 (28:53):
No, we could talk about it. You know this might
get cut, but.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Oh you can be we can beep it or something.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
I signed on to do, like, oh.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh Joelle's gonna lose your mind? What cool booking? Congrats?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, and so we'll see what happens with that. I
don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it, but
you goutys.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
We could beep it. We can beat the title. But
so is that pushing your training into full gear? Are
we pelotoning the ship out of us ourselves? Now?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, there's some nudeness perhaps, Oh are we going to
see your eel? You're not going to see my eel. No,
there's there's no way that Casey will allow that. Casey's like,
I don't want anybody seeing your butt or your eel.
I don't want to see booty or frontal just casey.
Casey is like, you can show chest, you can show

(29:52):
you can show belly button, what you can.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
You're allowed to do it can show crease, you can
to do a sexy.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Well apparently apparently I have to simulate sex on the
in the in the in the show.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
So how can Casey, How can Casey limit your ability
as a handsome male actor to do a sex scene.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
I don't believe it because the showrunner made the mistake
of saying, you don't have to do the nudity part
isn't necessarily important.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
I think we should see you. You have a nice bubble,
and I think the earth needs to see it. Bounce
the earth, Yeah, bounce the whole earth. Well, anyone who
watches the show should see that. Shouldn't bounce, right, Joel.

Speaker 10 (30:35):
Yes, if you're comfortable with that.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Higher know.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Casey's not comfortable with the Casey's like, ain't nobody seeing
your ass bounce?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
I wish she would. She's got to loosen up about that.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
She probably will loosen up about it by the time
we get to it. As of right now. As of
right now, she's like, do you really want people to
see how you fuck? Is that what you really do?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
You want to show how good you are? Well, you're
ill be getting its own credit? Or are you share
a credit? All right, let's talk about it.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
We share a title sequences, sharing card. It's just shared card.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Speaking of names for cos. That's how the show opens up.
J D's name is his Penis's name is little Buddy.
He doesn't like that. He wishes it was named big
al And. And this moment when I'm dancing naked in
front of Tara Reid is what I told you in
the last episode, when my sock fell off and she

(31:35):
was able to see my giblets in their entirety.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's and I remember thinking.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Like I remember thinking, no, this might might have been
nice for her, but I remember thinking like, oh no, Tara,
it's there's a lot of air conditioning, and I have
more to offer the world than what you're seeing. For
sock's sake, just stop talking about will Is Sorry, Jeb, sorry,
Dev Just one more second.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Deb we're getting into what we talk But do you
have a name for your stuff my junk?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
No, I don't, I don't, I don't.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Do you Well, you've named my junk eel eel, black whale.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I never called it plucked whale. How have you when
you you had to do this too for for Scrubs
when that episode where you're walking in through the parking lot,
so you just take a tube sock and you just
kind of tuck everything in, and that's what that's what
fell off when I started doing that wacky dance.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
You didn't put like you didn't try to put like
a rubber band at the base.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Well, I didn't want to cut off circulation and lose
a nut.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
You're not going to cut off circulation, dude.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
The what if they were like, the scene is that's
a cut on the scene, Zach, your scrotum is blue.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
They make these things.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
And oh well, oh oh, I didn't. I did not.
I didn't have anything professional like that.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Sorry.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
You were very very very uh secure in the fact
that a sock would be able to keep little buddy covered.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well, I learned the hard way. No pun intended donald
that that it did not work. So Tara Reid, you're welcome.
You're welcome. So color me mine. Uh. The very very
adorable African American man next to me is Pooky, who
was one of our main lighting electricians on the show
for almost the whole run of the show.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
He was Pooky in the beginning, and he was like,
I don't want to be called Pooky no more. My
name is Chris.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I never got a change. Maybe that was you being
tough guys like alpha males. He was always pooky to me.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Nobody.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
He changed his name to everybody halfway through because he
was sick and tired of being called Pooky.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Well, I never heard that. I never got the memo.
If I saw him today, i'd give him a well,
I wouldn't able to give him a big hug, but
I'd yell Pooky.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Remember when Pooky lost all that weight too?

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah. By the way, he may have been in the
rerun dance sequence.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Absolutely, he was.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Absolutely he was great guy, really really great guy.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah. What one of one of our favorites.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, and he was one of you know, some of
the some of the crew members did the whole nine
years with us, and I think Pooky came and went
a little bit, but he was with us almost the
whole time. Yes, you know, electrician doing setting up and
setting and focusing the lights.

Speaker 10 (34:29):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
He and he made a lot of and he made
a lot of cameos on the show. This is this
is the beginning of seeing him. Yeah, this is the
beginning of seeing him. But you'll you'll reckon, You'll find
him a lot more.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
As there's a gag reel moment in one of the
seasons where where I'm running lines with him. He was
playing do you remember that he was playing.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Yeah, we actually filmed it and it wasn't. You guys
weren't running lines. Somebody was supposed to be in the scene.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
They were like, all right, Pooky, it wasn't I think Elliot.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Yeah, and they're like, Pooky, you get up in there
and do it. And he gets in there, and we
all thought he was gonna freaking uh, you know, be like,
I can't do.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
It, guys, And he played the ship out of it.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
He played that. He went hardcore with it too.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
The funny thing is he still had like all his
gear on. He had like his walkie talking earpiece and
all that ship. But he just played it, played it
so straight like he was Elliott or something.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
It was really good, man. It was really awesome. Man.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
All right, listen, I don't know if it's us, Tara
and I I'm feeling it's probably stunted people that fall
out of that tree. But you can totally see the
mat that's hidden under like a really lame piece of
astro turf.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
I just love, I just love.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
I love the fact that j D's ideal date with
the girl to kiss for the first time was in
a tree.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, He's just like just like the song, Just like
the song K S I n J.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
That's right, yeah, I JD is such a fucking dork.
It's amazing he got these great women because he is
so nerdy.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
I think it's so endearing. I think it's so endearing
that this is how JD is. I think you don't.
You don't think his sense it?

Speaker 1 (36:03):
No, I do. I think he's nerdy and charming and
people and women and men depending on what you're gonna do,
love to laugh, and so he gets I'm guessing he
gets chicks. I mean obviously is doctor, which is impressive,
but also because he's silly and goofy and makes him laugh.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Oh, he reminds me of Hugh Grant And what's that.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
In every Hugh Grant movie?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Right, pretty much but him and Julia Roberts, Oh, notting Hill,
nodding Hill, and how Hugh Grant's kind of like oopsie Daisy,
like JD says things like that, and that's I don't know,
that's endearing. I totally get why JD has such a
great uh is a ladies man.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
How about that door hit I do at three twenty eight?
That was pretty damn nice. If I wrote that if
I can, if I give myself a comedic stunt pat
on the back, it's a nice door hit. And I
don't think i'd done a glass door hit since the pilot.
So there you go, ladies and gentlemen. I think that's
the first time I've run into that what's supposed to
be the very same door, although in the pilot we
all know we were in a different hospital.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
And the fact that these two are so comfortable, you know,
in the fact that the fact that JD is so
comfortable in Cox's house fooling around with this young lady
is a little that that was just caught me kind
of off guard when he walked in and he was
like and he's yelling at the two of you for

(37:29):
you know, cuddling and being all cutesy in the morning
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah, that caught me off guard.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Like the fact that JD feels that comfortable now that
he's willing to bang in doctor Cox's house is.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
It's pretty funny though, when I when I when he
catches me naked, and I hold up the picture of
his baby in front of.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
My mind and he's like, right, well that and then
I turn it around and it's and By the way,
it's the season one promotional picture.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yeah, like way to go Props department, Like, let's just
grab a fucking Scrubs promo pic of him and put
it in the frame. That was funny. Yeah, a waffle
time song. He's like, do not sing thee when I
come in the kitchen. I'm like, waffule time, it's waffle
of time. Won't you have some waffles up mine? I
don't know if that's the melody.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
I was gonna ask you, because at the end of.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
You have some waffles of mine? I forgot what the
melody was, but.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
We'll be at the end of it. You you sing
along with him. So was this something that you two
made up at that moment.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
No, he's like, you're talking about how comfortable he is.
Jad's walking into his kitchen and like morning, waffull time,
waffull time, Won't you have some waffles of mine?

Speaker 4 (38:34):
But as in but as actors, was this something that
Bill was like, this is how the song goes? Or
was it something that John c made up? Or was
it something that you know what I mean, because.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
I probably made it up. I don't know if John
sees the stupid silly jingle maker up or like I am,
because I can have a whole career as a jingle writer.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Donald, word, Oh, why aren't you doing that? There's so
much money in it?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Not really, No, there's not, Yeah, there is it.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
And that Dudley Moore movie funny, What was the Dudley movie?

Speaker 1 (39:03):
What year was that? Dude?

Speaker 2 (39:05):
They were freaking killing it.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
But you know who wrote Dunn the dun round ball Rock?
John Tesh, John Tesh.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Johnesh, dude, John Tesh.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
John wrote more jingles.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Have you ever seen any believe? Have you ever seen
John Tesh at Red Rock?

Speaker 1 (39:23):
No? I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It's him playing due.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
At the venue.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
Yeah wait, that's where he did the round ball rock thing.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
Red Rocks is the avenue in Colorado.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Oh, Red Rocks I've heard of. Yeah, beautiful out to
our venue.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
But he goes.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
But Donald, I thought you'd be impressed that. I know,
d that's fucking John Tesh's greatest hit.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
You guys have seen the video where he describes coming
up with that, right, No, but do you think he.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Made Do you think that was just a buyout or
did you make nine zillion dollars off of it? What
maybe could be Wait what Dan, what was unique about
him coming up with it? Oh, it's just it's just
so funny because he sends himself a voicemail where he's like, hey,
uh listen, just remember this one for later, but I'll

(40:08):
talk to you later about and it's.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Just like a voicemail he plays at Red Rocks for everybody,
I'm gonna find the video.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I'll send it to you. Oh that's no. But there's
a lot of if you're interested in this topic, for
those of you, for those of you are a little
bit confused. John Tesh was the host of Entertainment Tonight
for basically most of our childhood, and.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Him and Mary Heart.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, and that was this is back when there weren't
all these other streaming things, so it was like what
was on you watched Entertainment Tonight. And he was an
entertainment journalist and he had this side hustle which was
probably way more lucrative than being an entertainment anchor, where
he would write jingles and if you look up, if
you google it, he wrote a lot of fucking music
and a lot of jingles. You know.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Now, he was a concert pianist.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Dude, Okay, Well, I'm saying he also, in addition to
the that's song, what is that the NBA fucking jingle?
He wrote a lot.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
It's actually only the NBA on the NBC, that's what
he wrote.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
A right, Well, I wouldn't have known that.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Well it's not it's not the NBA song anymore. If
you don't hear that song anymore.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
You know what else he wrote? You know what else
he wrote? What you're trying to get into? What?

Speaker 2 (41:19):
No, he did not do not give that man credit
for writing that.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
But I'll tell you what I could. I could pull
up on my phone. In a similar way, when when
Donald and I were about to do the podcast, they
said we got to have a dope theme song. And
I played to Donald like something like this, and then
Donald sent something back to me like riffing on it
someday off to play you. And that's what we sent
to Charlie, who then went and made it dope.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Well. It was a genius idea.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
You were like, it should be like the Jeffersons, and
I was like, oh shit, but we turned it into
like and I know we're just reminiscing. He turned it
into a freaking fire.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
It's it's a pop.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
It's a bop.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
It's a bop. All right, we have a fan and
we're gonna go to break. We will be right back
after these words.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Well, gentlemen, we're bad back.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
We're back. We're back with the Amanda ca Bobby, give
it to her, Donald, give her the give her the Oprahmanda, Bobby. Holy, Yes,
it's true, Amanda, it's real. It happened.

Speaker 10 (42:29):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
I am not.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
I started drinking wine because I was nervous, and I
was like, I don't know if that's a good or
bad thing, so we'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I guess I'm drinking wine too. It's okay.

Speaker 1 (42:38):

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Well, you mean the sexiest man Alive. That's not gonna
happen for you, dude. No, you can be in Most Beautiful,
but you're not. You're too old to be the sexiest
man alive.

Speaker 8 (45:50):
You never know, you never know.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
I think you're the sexiest man alive. Don't give me
that face. But it's usually someone younger, like a you know,
it's the younger, younger kind of thing. No, okay, I
take it back. I'm sorry, can you. Yeah, he's lost
the ability to speak, which is so which is so
hard for him. I really fucked him up.

Speaker 8 (46:11):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
By the way, do you have a question, Amanda?

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Yeah, by the way, by the way, I digress for
a moment. When we last week talked about virtual having
sex via VR with each other, everyone and their cousin
weighed in that there is, of course a Black Mirror
episode about this, So thank you for reminding us. If
you don't watch Black Mirror, and watch Black Mirror, but
there's a very very fascinating, slash bizarrely hilarious, interesting commentary

(46:43):
on sexuality episode of Black Mirror, including VR sex between
two hetero friends. So there you go, Amanda, Amanda a mana.
Do you have a question for us to cheer Donald up?
The sexiest man alive? In my eyes?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
I can't. You can't. You can't know.

Speaker 4 (47:01):
No, No, I'm Amanda, I I am. I am not
the sexiest man alive. According to zach I put I put.
My best friend said to me, Oh no, you're never
gonna get that. Those were his exact words. I'm just
gonna put it out there. Oh no, you're never gonna
get that. I my heart is I don't.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
I don't you could it's us.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
The funk up? Look at.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
You aren't so bad?

Speaker 8 (47:41):
Shall I bring you together?

Speaker 1 (47:42):
With the question, yes, please, the subject is horrible.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
All right, Well, I.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Hope this brings up good memories, not bad memory. But
one of my questions was, so, what is the worst
trouble the two of you have gotten into together, whether
it was on set of scrubs or not on set
of scrubs?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
How are you going to ask me this question? I
can't answer this question. I can't answer this question.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
We got into a lot of trouble that a lot
of trouble that we've gotten into we can't even talk about.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
There were there were.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Times where speak carefully, I am, I'm trying my hardest
to right now. There were times where I was like,
I can't believe that should happen or we got I
can't believe we put ourselves into that situation and that

(48:33):
should happen.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Yeah, you don't want to give a lot of money
and a lot of fame to two guys in their
mid twenties. No expect that they're not going to.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Get You don't want to do it to You don't
want to do it to anyone in their mid twenties,
not to guys, to anyone in their mid twenties.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Too much money at a young age is not a
good thing.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
We had some adventures and uh, and that's all we'll
say is as it pours another glass of wine for himself.
And in the after noon, Amanda, we'll give you another
question because that one we can't really fully answer.

Speaker 8 (49:05):
Okay, fine, that's fair. So I was actually gonna ask
so Zach.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
I'm like obsessed with Garden State High School. We would
probably literally pass away if she knew this was.

Speaker 8 (49:15):
Happening right now.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
And so I also was like, I'm nerdy where I
listened to the commentary and I'm pretty sure I remember
you saying something about a bunch of PA's you had
to have them.

Speaker 8 (49:25):
Drive really slow in the four or five to create traffic.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
So I work in production also, and I'm constantly asking
our pas to do crazy shit. And I've had to
do crazy shit. So I'm wondering, what is your guys,
what's the craziest thing you guys have had to do
early on in your career?

Speaker 1 (49:42):
Oh? Wow, gosh, questions. Those are good questions. Yeah, PA,
I had to do a lot. There's a lot of
stuff as a PA that was just stupid and dangerous.
They would have us go lock up when you're when
you're up, precious, they would go lock up that street,
meaning don't let anyone come down, and it'll be like
in really dangerous neighborhood at night, and I'd be like

(50:03):
the little nerdy kid, like being like, excuse me, everyone,
you're not allowed to come down the street. If you'll
be like fuck you, I'd be like, uh, guys, guys
were making a video and like and there were a
few times, there are many many times in Manhattan and
at night where I really almost got my ass kicked

(50:24):
begging people to not walk down a street because we
were making some like Mariah Carey video or something.

Speaker 8 (50:30):
You were probably a really good fucking PA.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Then I was a good PA because the rest of
the pas were getting high in the fucking cube truck
and like not doing and they I was so into it.
I wanted to be a director at so badly. I
wanted to be a filmmaker so badly. So they come
over the walking and be like, we need PA's doing this,
and like no one would reply. So I'd be like
I'm on it, and I'd run over there and do it.
And then they'd be like, Okay, now we need a
PA to be doing this, and I'd be like, no answer,

(50:53):
because they're all just fucking getting high. And I'd be like,
I'll do that too, and like, so I was just
running all over the place. I was like, I wanted
to be like the best pa in the history of pas.
Oh my god, what about you, Donald? Did you have
any odd crazy jobs someone made you do? No, because
you kind of got it you were well early. No,
you never had a real job.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
No, I did have a real job. Actually, it's an
interesting story. So after I had I had a little
bit of success early on in my career, Like I
did a bunch of commercials and stuff like that. And
because of that, I, you know, as a young actor
in New York City, I would always go to my
agent's office and hang out.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
And so I got to know my agents and.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
Made my face very recognizable so that if anything came through,
they would be like, Yo, we're gonna send Donald out
on this. I made myself so available there that they
needed somebody to work at the front desk. And I
was like, Yo, you know what, I'll take the job.
I'll take the job. I'll do that, and they were like, okay, bet,

(51:59):
And so I learned what it was like to be
an agent.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I sat, I you know, looked at breakdowns.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
I you know, the agents, would you know, write down
the the art the actors or artists who they wanted
to go out for these parts, and I would, you know,
have to type it all up and write the letter
and send it out to all of the casting directors
for the submissions. Right, And I got I didn't get
good at it, but this was a great way for

(52:25):
me to submit myself on things that I really wanted
to be in. Like if it came through and my
name wasn't on it, I would secretly type my name
into that shit and be like Donald Faison and I
put my my my head shot in and send it
out for submissions. I think it clueless, and I got
to go out of town for a really long time,
but I want to keep the job because, you know,

(52:46):
as an actor, you're like, I gotta you gotta make
I'm making money and I'm getting a paycheck, so I'm
able to buy the shit I want. And I asked
my mom and I'm like, Mom, will you take over
for me? Will you work the desk for me? And
she was like, yeah, absolutely, no problem. And so while
I'm away doing clueless. She works this job for me.
And when I come back, I'm like, okay, Mom, I

(53:10):
want my job back. And the agents at my agency
were like, no, you know what, Donald, that's no longer
your job.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
We want to give it to your mom.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
And I was like what, and they were like, yeah,
we're gonna We're gonna give it to your mom, and
your mom is going to work as the front desk.
So my mom was already working in theater and she
was like a director at the National Black Theater in Harlem,
and she'd you know, she'd worked with a bunch of
actors in the community and everything like that, and so
she had a real her finger on the pulse when

(53:40):
it came to young African American or old African American
actors in New York City. And as time went on,
working at the front desk, she then moved on to become,
you know, an agent, and you know, well, she tapped
into the community that she, you know, knew very well

(54:02):
and now has so many people working on Broadway. She's
broke so las Lonzo, she broke him, like you know,
to this.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Day, when I run into there's so many times I
run into African American actors in New York, and their
way into me is like yo, yo, Shirley Faison's my agent,
like like they know that that's the way to start
talking to me because of Donald.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
It gets it gets bigger than that though, and then
it turns into my mom is now you know, working
with all of these like they're Leah, Michelle, Kristen Bell,
like the.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
So she bade the funny thing, your mom took your
desk job, and then it's like working girls, she all
of a sudden became like a super powerful agent.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
Within a few years this happened, and it was all
because of this odd job that I wanted, Like this
wasn't a just I don't know that many actors that
work at their agent's office.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
That just doesn't sound never.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Knew that trivia about you. See, even I am learning
Donald Faison trivia on this very podcast.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
For man DOCKU Man, I ain't gonna be I'm not
sexy enough for you, so fuck you, man.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
You ain't no no trivia about me. You don't care
about me. You don't even think I'm trussy.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
You know, you may have had a shot at that
if your wife would allow you to have your ass
bopping up and down on that fucking show. Women, women
and gay men really like to see a man's ass
bounce in a sex scene on TV. Right Joell.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
To weigh in, Ye, honestly, sex scenes, I don't know
what is wrong with me.

Speaker 8 (55:41):
They make me so uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
I know I agree because you.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Know how the sausage is made. You see, you've see
how exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Do you remember making you uncomfortable?

Speaker 4 (55:52):
It makes you uncomfortable, Zach, But you are thrusting your
throwing me into the fucking fire.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
I want something.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
I want to see your ass. I want to see
your ass.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
If you could feel if I had, if I had
your ass, I would write sex scenes into my own
movies and just bounce my shit. No, but listen, do
you guys remember when we were growing up, Yeah, and
then for some reason, the character's ass is bouncing. When
we were growing up, it was every fucking movie, it
was like, and now it's time for the sex scene.
It was like incorporated into the movie.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
You know, I was eleven watching Garden State with the
sex scene.

Speaker 8 (56:26):
We cut around it, we cut around people, the people scene.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Oh that yeah, oh yeah, sorry. Remember being like but
that was meant to be out that was meant to
be outrageous. But like the Natalie scene, we weren't about
to do like a fucking sex scene. We like, we
start making out and then you cut to us cuddling.
I but do you remember, like it was like you
couldn't have a movie back in the day where it
was like the music would start and they'd be shooting
through like the foggy of lens and you'd like, oh

(56:53):
my god, it's time and people would liked it. It
was like a turn on. I guess it was like,
oh this was maybe it was like people are on
a date and this is gonna get them rale up
to go home and hook up. But now, yes, now
in movies, I think it's it's pretty odd right to
see like a real sex scene unless there's a unless
there's a genuine reason for it. When it cuts, like

(57:14):
you just want to like, okay, they start making out
and then cut to later. We don't need to see
them fucking fuck unless of course they have Donald's ass.
What do you guys think on this topic?

Speaker 4 (57:25):
Yeah, I find sex scenes uncomfortable now in movie theaters,
mainly because I you know, I movies that were acceptable
to us when we were younger. I can't show my
kids now and so movies that come on and all
of a sudden something that's very sexual.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
And I like the fact.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
I'm sorry, but I like the fact that my kids
have no idea what sexual what sexuality is, what you know,
what you know? I love that fact about them right now,
and they don't need to learn about that. And I
don't want to tank that. I don't want them to
have to see that until they're ready. And I don't

(58:03):
me personally, I don't think as a seven year old
in a five year.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Old, right, I'm just talking about like that change in this.
I'm not talking about it like that. Joelle, what do
you write your thoughts on this? You're a pop culture expert.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (58:13):
I think sex scenes are good if they are improving
the story, if they're telling story. I don't like when
it's like and now, like two hot people smashing bodies.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
It's weird.

Speaker 9 (58:23):
But like normal people. Those series on Hulu like those
sex scenes, like show how the characters evolve through time
and over their relationship and they're like essential to the storytelling.
And so I feel like yes, and also like what
you're gonna ask me. You guys are actual actors, but
I always feel like it's weird to ask actors to perform
them if it's not pertinent to the story, like who
is this for? What's happening?

Speaker 2 (58:42):
I disagree with you, guys. I think sexy.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
I think sex scenes make me uncomfortable, but I think
they're I think everybody loved Game of Thrones and that
had some ridiculous, you know, sex scenes in it that
had nothing to do with pushing the story forward, you know,
And so in.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
The beginning they did. Then they started becoming like weird,
I thought.

Speaker 5 (59:01):
And also also to that point, Amelia Clark decided she
was not doing any more nude scenes after the reactions
to all that stuff, So I think there was a
bit of a gratuitous nature to it that kind of
soured what Maybe even.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
Georgia r Minin was upset with the way some of
them and days like, this is not how they were
written in the book or.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
Why they were there.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
Well, she did, but that didn't stop them from having
them in the show, and it was it was, it
was very prominent in the show, and we all watched
and loved that show, so we can't really say.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
I'm just in the last episode.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
I'm just saying, I'm saying the last scenes. I'm just saying.
In the eighties and nineties and a lot of R
rated movies, it was like if I felt like people
thought it was mandatory you went to an R rated movie,
you went on your date. But where's our sex scene?

Speaker 2 (59:46):
You know?

Speaker 4 (59:47):
I don't know, man, some of my favorite movies didn't
have sex scenes. And I'm like The Breakfast Club or.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
I'm talking about like we.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Could go through all the John Hughes movie. These are
big ass movies for that time.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Though, you know what I mean, you're picking the wrong genre.
I'm talking about our rated sort of thriller.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
At the time. At the time those movies were out, though,
we were.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Like, you'll like to see not every movie has a
sex scene. Like Annie, for example, no sex scenes in Annie.
Miss Hannigan never rides.

Speaker 8 (01:00:17):
You just say they cut it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
That would have been the best musical number ever. That
would have been the best musical number ever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
It's not why.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
What what's the man?

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
I'm sorry you had to see that? All right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
A man?

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
No, it's time for everyone's favorite segment. Donald stop laughing,
But I think I've won you back. Ready, it's time to.

Speaker 10 (01:00:43):
Fix your life?

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
All right? How can we help our favorite Jersey girl?

Speaker 8 (01:00:50):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Well, so this is not just fixing my life, it's
going to fix basically all of my friend's lives.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Also on it.

Speaker 8 (01:00:56):
Ready, So I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
I mean, it just turned twenty seven. It's quarantine. I'm
like newly single, all these different things. I think I'm
in the.

Speaker 8 (01:01:04):
Throes of a quarter life crisis.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Yeah, how does one get through a quarter life crisis?

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
You got to go through. But there's work you can do.
There are there are books and podcasts and seminars, and
one can take action. That's what I think. I think
I've When I was going through a lot of that stuff,
I did a lot of work on myself. Some of
it was as simple as a therapist just to get

(01:01:34):
myself talking. But I would ask for self help book recommendations,
I took workshops. I you know, there's all Now there's
Ted Talks. I mean, there's You can't just sit back
and like my attitude about life when you're in crisis mode,
even if it's mild or real crisis, like in this
episode there's a suicidal story. Is that you have to

(01:01:57):
be proactive. You have to you you can't just sit
and wait for it to fix itself. You have to
to to take steps to to do the work.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
I mean, I have fired so many therapists just because
I always pick fights with them, because that's the kind
of person I am. But my brother just told me
to read this book The Art of Not Giving a
Fuck or something.

Speaker 8 (01:02:18):
But yeah, you guys have any books that you recommend.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I'm not a strong reader, so you know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Donald only reads the back of the Star Wars video
game box.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
And then also in Star Wars comics.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Are also in terms of dating, which always cheers people up.
Are you are you actively trying? Are you on the
apps or are you trying to meet somebody new?

Speaker 8 (01:02:44):
Yeah, I'm on the apps.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
The apps just like I don't know if it's just
my area, what produced like a certain lot of bros.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
You got a lot of bros there. You maybe have
to go to Manhattan.

Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
You know, And I changed my location to Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
I don't know if it's like I'm not playing the
app game right or what, but I either the people
I either don't get any action on the apps or
the action I get is.

Speaker 8 (01:03:04):
Like and literally forgive me, but like the first message
is sit on my face, and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
You're not.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
I want to Okay, that's funny that that's someone's pickup line,
sit on my face.

Speaker 8 (01:03:14):
I've gotten that three times important.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Wow. I'm so sorry. Wow these apps, man, Joelle, don't worry.
We're going to find you a good one, not not
whatever one she's on. Okay, good, I look forward to krying.
We're trying to set you well up. No one's going
to say sit on my face to you, Joel. We're
going to protect you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
Thank you much. Well, at least not on the first
freaking DM. That's very weird.

Speaker 8 (01:03:38):
Hi first, then.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
App right, at least be like, Hi, my name is Roger,
sit on my face at least that, right.

Speaker 9 (01:03:45):
Do you mind if I give Amanda some advice on
this quarter like crisis situation?

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Yes? Please, you're way smarter on you than anybody.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
You're probably Yeah, you're the one to go to for this.

Speaker 9 (01:03:55):
I recently having come out of my quarter like crisis.
It is the sage of twenty five twenty seven taid Okay, okay, okay, okay.
So you're getting towards the end of the craziness, right,
and the best advice I got at that age was like,
twenty eight and twenty nine are going to be so hard.
But all the work that you're doing, all the stuff
you're pushing through, all the things you're discovering about yourself,

(01:04:17):
all the people you're dating and rejecting or trying to accept,
all the friendships that will either fall apart or strengthen
during this time, Like all of that will solidify by
thirty and then it's like I've learned all of the lessons, Right,
the very challenging part of your late twenties is over,
and like by the time you hit thirty, it's like, oh,
I get what I had to go through all of that.

(01:04:39):
So it sucks when you're in it, but like, don't panic.
It's how it's supposed to be. It's the struggle is
fortifying you for all of the great things that are
about to happen. Right, and you're like very solid in
your career. It sounds like it sounds like you've developed
a strong voice. You clearly seem to know yourself pretty well.
So you know, give's all some time. Maybe find a

(01:04:59):
therapist that knows how to fight you back. My therapist
constantly looks at me and goes, you know, uh, is
that real what you're telling?

Speaker 7 (01:05:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Maybe not.

Speaker 9 (01:05:07):
I She's like, right, so you know, let's steal in
this direction.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Also, what I remember writing when I about Garden State
was that I felt like my teen years were my
body's puberty and my twenty years were my mind's puberty. Yes,
because there's so much happening. You're figuring out who you are,
who you want to be, what kind of relationship you
truly want, what kind of job you want, where you

(01:05:33):
want to live. Like all of this is happening, and
it's changing all the time, just like when you're going
through puberty, changes and you're like, what the fuck is
this new feeling that's happening in your mind? So I
would A big thing I would see to you is
don't make it wrong, Like this is normal. I think
people start having panic attacks when they go what's wrong
with me? It's like you, I mean, as you know,
I made a fucking movie about it, Like this is

(01:05:55):
this is very, very very normal everything that's happening you
and so many people are going through what you're going through.

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
I not to sound like the downer of it, but
I think everybody's in crisis always, you know what I mean.
I think life is so exhausting as it is that
we're always like, when this is over, you're going to
find something else to fixate on and focus on, and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
That'll be your next dilemma.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
But for the most part, you have to go through
it and know that this is a journey and know
that you're doing this. Everything that you're doing now is
setting up what comes later. And I think, yeah, you know,
I don't recall my twenties being a crisis, and maybe
because I numbed it by going out and partying and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Experiencing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
You know, being in a pandemic doesn't necessarily help where
we're you know what I mean that kind of You're.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Going through these feelings and the dating conundrum during this pandemic,
which is just so extra hard, and I really really
feel for you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
I don't understand people who date on the apps in
the middle of COVID. I'm like, you're gonna get it,
you know, it's Russian.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Roulette, especially if you're sitting on people's faces. All right.
I don't know if we've fixed your life, but we
at least are here to cheer you on and say
we care about you and and you're not alone. And
I'm a big proponent of therapy. We promote a couple
of the different apps on here that I have not
just bullshit because we promote them. I have friends that

(01:07:33):
use them and really have gotten great results from them.
Good thing about them is if you don't like the
person on the first try, you can just keep changing
until you find somebody you like. And I think people
have gotten good results of that. Just I know a
lot about therapy because I have two parents that are psychologists.
So I've gotten a lot of success out of a
type of therapy called someone who's a cognitive behaviorist, because

(01:07:54):
I've done enough talking about my past. I've done enough
like oh I was sad when they made fun of me.
And at this point, cognitive behaviors is a little more
like let's talk about the plan. It's a little more
like a coach being like, here's the plan for this week.
You don't want the X to happen, then we're gonna
do why you want you want to be more like this,
then we're gonna do this. So if that type of
therapist has been very helpful to me in my life,

(01:08:16):
you might seek someone like that out the life coach. Yeah,
and and because I some people like to lie on
a couch and and talk about the pain they've experienced,
and that works and is helpful, and some people need
to do that. I'm not minimizing it. I've done plenty
of it. I'm just saying at this point in my life,
and again, I'm much older than you, but I've gotten
a lot of help out of someone who's like, Okay,

(01:08:37):
I hear what you're feeling. I hear where you want
to get to. I hear that you're stressed about this
or this. Here's the plan for this week that's gonna
be put in place by us as a team to
make you get there. And that could be finding a partner,
that could be finding a job, that could be whatever
you fucking want it to be.

Speaker 5 (01:08:51):
I would also just like to add one thing to
what Zach is saying, is that, like, when you're doing
your googles for this kind of thing, make sure that
you search both words like life coach, but all so
specifically cognitive behavioral therapy, because they're different things that have
similar goals, and you just might get people who are
life coaches who are going to help you work through stuff.
But I really back up what Zach is saying when

(01:09:12):
you can have someone who's professional with experience give you
like a b C. And that's really going to come
from a cognitive behavioral therapist.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
And I always feel, because I know I'm going to
talk to him once a week that I it's like
I have to have my homework done like I want to.
I want to. I want to impress him. So I'm
always like, oh, I'm going to do that shit I
promised him I would do because I made a commitment. Anyway,
I'm rambling. I think we can say you're welcome, right Donald,
Can we say you're welcome? I mean, I mean maybe
half you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
Not we could say you're welcome. We've set her on
a path.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
We've given her path.

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
We've given her some tools that she can use to
better herself and take this journey that she's on into
a positive direction and not fall into the abyss that
is the most depression.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
The most powerful thing you need to know is that
you are not alone. You are not alone. Everybody deals
with this ship. I think some people spiral out because
they go, what's wrong with me? No, what's wrong with
you is that you're human being. And everybody deals with this.
And all these people you see on TV and the
reality shows living these fucking bullshit lives, it's all bullshit.
They deal with it too, And you are not alone.

(01:10:17):
Everybody goes through it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Okay, No one's truly happy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Yeah, well no, some people are happy, but I but
everybody has their demons, they battle, everybody has their their
their sources of pain and uh, and I think it's
very important for you to know that you're not alone.
All right, Amanda, my favorite Jersey girl.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Let's take a break.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
We'll be right back. After these fine words, we got
to talk more about what the show. Dude. People get
mad that we don't talk about the show enough. We
got to talk more about the show.

Speaker 5 (01:10:54):
Are you telling me people have grievances with the show?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Fucking people have grievance.

Speaker 11 (01:11:01):
Grievance is a new segment that I call grievance. Jesus,
you guys have had Brendan Fraser, Tara Reed, Jaseurron. You
have so many interesting guests on the show. And you
know what you haven't had is one writer of the show.

Speaker 10 (01:11:19):
Not one.

Speaker 11 (01:11:20):
They listened to it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
They know and So here's the.

Speaker 11 (01:11:26):
Tough grievance moment for you guys. Is what follows is
three single sentences from three different writers that were on
this show for a multiple of years. There will probably
be a clue in their sentence. But unless you can
identify these three writers by the sentence clue, I'm afraid

(01:11:48):
I'm going to have to pull the plug on our podcast. Ready,
get your thinking cat.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
Wait, wait, I have a question, dar. These are sentences
that Bill is going to say that we should know
with the oh, the writers themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:12:01):
The writers themselves have submitted three sentences. Of course you're
gonna know all three sentences are going to play out.
There's a tiny space between each one, and then the
answer is a separate file. But we'll let everybody else
a right to.

Speaker 1 (01:12:12):
Write down your answers because it's they're going to play
them in an order.

Speaker 5 (01:12:15):
Everybody ready, there's a small bit of silence in between
each one.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Okay, I have a lot of kids.

Speaker 9 (01:12:22):
I like musical theater, and I don't listen on Fridays,
which is today, so I'm not listening Jewish.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
All right, all right, I got them all Okay, I
think I got them too, all Right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:40):
The first one is Tim Hobert.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Easy, Tim Hobert. Gabby is the second one.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
Gabby is the second one. And uh, I think.

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
You guys ready, yeah, oh my god, you guys better
have gotten Tim Herbert, Gabby, Allen Greenberg and Neil gold
or well. I mean, I gotta be honest with the
podcast is over and that a lot of people, because
I do love my podcast.

Speaker 10 (01:13:09):
That was the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
I like that game though.

Speaker 10 (01:13:13):
Yeah, that was easy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Though, that was really easy.

Speaker 11 (01:13:16):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
That was fun. It was good to hear their voices. Also,
is this I said, no.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
No, no, Daniel, We're going along, Daniel, We're going along.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
We're already at an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
We have barely talked about the fucking show. We gotta
speed through it.

Speaker 9 (01:13:34):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
Who should we have on? Who do you think would
be the best guest of those three? I mean, they'd
all be good, don't get me wrong, But who would
you Who should we choose first?

Speaker 4 (01:13:42):
I think I honestly believe that we should break them
off into little groups, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
Well, Gabby, by the way, Gabby, in terms of coming
up next, Gabby is the first. I'm looking at the
schedule is wrote for some reason wrote the next two
that's impossible, but she was.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Yeah, so maybe Gabby, let's reach out and see if
she wants to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
Okay, Joelle, will you get I don't have I might
not have her email anymore. Will you get her from us?
And I'm sure everyone would also like to heal from
a very successful female comedy writer in Hollywood who would
love to hear about that?

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Can we talk about this fucking show Scrubs? Donald?

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Why do you have to put that type of handle
on it? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
What about? Why is the guy sitting next to the
dartboard in a bar? That guy is the worst seat
in the world. He's literally sitting next to a dartboard
as Sarah and Judy try and throw darts. I was like,
that's a bad seat, buddy, Yeah it was.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
I think it's for comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Yes, I had a feeling it was for comedy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
I think it's for comedy.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Patrick Bolton, our set dresser friend, was the bartender in
that scene.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
How about Elliott having hair on her lower back?

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Yes, I think a lot of women probably do have
a thin layer of hair back there.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Eric Strata paunch, that was great.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
Right, Eric Astrada one of my heroes as a youth.
Everyone needs to Chips growing me too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
I gotta tell you, my dad was so anti gun
that we were not allowed to have toy guns. And
he was so anti toy gun that when I had
the John doll, it was like a Ken doll sized
John from Chips. He took the little one centimeter gun

(01:15:37):
away from me. I wouldn't allowed to have the Chips gun.
That's how Auntie gun.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
My dad was, Yeah, well, you know, so sorry, That's
that's how it is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
And I should buy that doll on eBay and play
with the gun with Donald and I did a very
funny photoshoot. I don't know if we've mentioned this before.
You guys can google it. It was for People, a magazine,
I think Donald and we dressed up like Eric Strata
and John from Chips.

Speaker 9 (01:16:04):
We did.

Speaker 1 (01:16:05):
And because I have blonde hair, I have a wig on.
I assume everyone, of course says I look like Dak
Shepherd like they do, no matter what I fucking do.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
Because and because I would, and because I put a
wig on and I looked like Bruno Mars, I had
a possibility at that time to be one of America's
most sexiest men or people's most sexiest men, you know
what I mean, which was really interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
And then and then you know, Daxx went on to
make the Chips movie, which is too which which you know,
I was happy for him because he's an awesome guy.
But you know, you and I would have been a
great paunch and John.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
I can't play.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Uh No, you don't have to be a Hispanic paunch.
You could be African American zaunch.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:16:49):
I think I think we're doing a disservice to all
of the Latino We don't have.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
To do the exact thing. And we could do California
Highway patrol on motorcyle anyway. We can't do any to it,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
One of my favorite lines in the show Sweet Dancing Jehovah,
I punctured my brain.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Yeah, I laugh. That was funny. Kelso Death and everyone
every time he walks by, just saying all that ship
to him.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
Yes, and then and then and then Ted missing the
missing the bus and coming in a little too late.
After Kelso he says, giving him the business, he goes, there,
you are you deaf bastard.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
He was like, it's like no one had told Ted
until it was too late and he finally he had
it all, He had it all stored up ready to go.
That was fucking funny.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
Like, dude, like you over time, you kind of gotta
feel sorry for Ted Man, Like, oh my gosh, dude,
it's like, first of all, his boss is a jerk
to him, and then second of all, he never seems to.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
Catch a break ever, think, nothing ever works out for him,
never ever works out for him. What about wakanuby at
the carnival? Waknuby canub Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Yeah, what about the fact that JD can't get I
can't use the giant mallet to get the to ring
the bell at the carnival?

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
Also, yeah, I can, by the way, But you know
what is true about me? If one thing that is
true about me, and you can call me a nerd
or a dor or a what other other synonyms are there?

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Guys, you haven't said one bad word yet.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
I do get nauseous on rides, Oh oh, I really do.
First of all, I cannot funck with like a tea.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Cup situation for your whole life, your whole life.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Yeah, I don't like them. I will go on a
fast roller coaster that's straight and fast and takes big curves.
I'm fine with that, but I cannot do anything spinning.
I don't like the fucking thing that drops of this mansion.
I've done that. What it makes you want to puke?
You know that cheap it's the cheap thing that spins

(01:19:01):
and the floor drops out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
No, oh my gosh.

Speaker 8 (01:19:04):
Yo.

Speaker 4 (01:19:05):
You know what, as I've gotten older, there's certain things
that I can't do anymore. Like I used to be
able to get on roller coasters and all of that
stuff no problem, and get on them over and over again.
My fortieth birthday, we went to Disneyland, and I remember
this very well because Disney sponsored the trip and they
hooked it up to where I we you know, we
had a guide and everything. They hooked it up for

(01:19:27):
a person who's worked for Disney for a really long time,
and we were able to get on the California Scream
like five times.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
In a row. That the loop. Do you want to
go again?

Speaker 11 (01:19:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Do you want to go again? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
We want to go again, and we did it again.
Do you want to go again? Yeah, we want to
go again, and we did it again. Do you want
to go again? I don't know, yeah, we wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
We had. I bought all my This is the thing
that I like to do for my birthday. I like
to invite all of my friends and their kids and
let the kids have.

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
Fun because I like to have like like I'm a
Disneyland type of birthday, Like I'm a forty six year
old man who likes to go to Disneyland. Like, okay,
so anyway, my nephews, my nieces, my freaking my you know,
a bunch of youth is with us. You want to
go again? Yeah, we want to go again. To kids,
I'm like, oh no, I don't think I can do

(01:20:26):
it for the rest of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
You know, when you get that when you get that nauseous,
that's like when you make this sound that is okay,
it's the sound.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
It's you're trying to freaking relax your mouth from you know,
how you get water. I did not puke, but for
the rest of the day I had to go. For
the rest of the day, I was going like this though,
trying to get my tongue to get that nauseous.

Speaker 1 (01:20:52):
I went and everyone was like, we're going again. I
was like I'm not, And I was like the I
was like the parent, but like waited by the exit
for everybody.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
That's that's that. Yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
Ruined the not my birthday, but it ruined the fact
that I was like, I don't know if I'll get
on roller coasters again. And so since then, i've I
can only do roller coasters one time, and when I
get off, I always feel that little bit of nausea.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
That oh that's robot for good night. I mean, what
the hell was that? I must have made that up.
I don't know what the hell was going on there.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
How about the janitor getting a freaking new job because
and he turned it into like a radio show where
he's freaking dissing people.

Speaker 1 (01:21:31):
By the way, speaking of being dorky, I was the
guy in high school who did the announcements really really cool, yes,
And I remember thinking, I mean, you know, with a.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Group all four years there was four years there was
a team.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
No, there was a team. You know, you had your
sports team. Well, I had my announcements.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Team sports team in high school.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
No, I'm making a joke saying, like, you know, like
it was a team and we had like we had
like practice where we'd be like, mommy made me match
my the lips and the tongue. Yeah, I would do
the announcements, and I remember thinking I was really cool
to the announcements.

Speaker 2 (01:22:07):
It's powerful.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
Did you play like did you play like a xylophone
where you're like doo dooo?

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
No, I remember, I remember. I think we had to
do the pledge of allegiance and it was written down
so you didn't fuck it up, little mistake. I think
it's sixteen thirteen. In Nicole Sullivan's room when we're the
last time we're meeting with her, there's no door on
the hinges. If you're someone who likes fuck ups in movies.

(01:22:36):
For some reason, the grips must have taken off the
hospital room door, but you can just see the hinges
sitting there. There's no door in the room.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
That's interesting, you know, if you if you if you
caught that, you're not watching the show.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
But anyway, I like to I like to look in
the both the background and the foreground while I'm doing
this podcast, doll, because I wanted to.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
Deliver well while doing the while doing the podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Absolutely, if you're listening to and you're wanting to catch
fuck ups some stuff, yeah we're gonna try and catch
that too. But watching movies and watching TV shows now
and not being able to get into it because I'm
noticing what's going on in the background, or noticing what's
going on because of mess ups and stuff like that.
I try not to do that now. I try to
enjoy a movie as much as I can. I imagine

(01:23:19):
it's got to be very difficult for you, Zach.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
Being a director, I always look at stuff in the background,
and sometimes it hurts my experience, but that is uh
the price I pay donald for being a movie maker.
One of the last lines we say is you can
never underestimate the importance of listening. And I think that's
a very simple but very smart sentence that so much
miscommunication comes from no one really truly listening to each other.

Speaker 4 (01:23:45):
It's hard to listen. That's one of the hardest things
to do in life. You know, it's a simple thing
to do, but it's actually hard to shut your brain
off and listen to somebody else's stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
Yeah, because you're our brains are going, Oh, what's the
thing I'm going to say next? Oh, he just reminded
me of a story that now I'm going to tell oh,
what's for dinner? And I strive to be someone that
can be truly looking at you and listening when you
talk to me.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
That's one of my hardest things to do.

Speaker 4 (01:24:14):
And I I I've told stories about this before, you know,
meeting my idols like George Lucas and stuff and not
being able to listen because I was so geeked. It's
a it's a it's a really good thing if you
can listen to someone and hear. There's because there are
so many times in my life where if I would
have listened, maybe the outcome of somebody else's life would

(01:24:38):
have been better. But because I was caught up in
my own shit and didn't listen, things were different. I'm
sure everybody feels that, but this isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
This is something that is uh. This is something that
I think we all we we all take for granted,
the ability to listen.

Speaker 1 (01:24:59):
Yes, so listen to each other and listen to us
as we end this show and beg you to vote.
I am literally going to get down on my knees
and asked you.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
This is actually happened. And he's clasped his hands together
as if praying to a deity.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
I am I'm I've never asked you listener for anything.
Please vote. Today is the day. Go make it up.
And even you've got to wait in line. Bring some snacks,
bring a lawn chair, bring a podcast. If you've listened
to all of this one, try another one. Yes, I
just figured out how much I've been wondering how my
dog gets in and out of the vegetable garden. And
I just caught that little bitch. And I can call

(01:25:44):
her a bitch because it's a female dog. I just
caught how that little bitch is getting into my vegetable garden.
I just saw her sneak out one of the fucking gaate. Okay,
problem solved, you guys, go vote. We love you.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Oh, I questions emergent.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):

in fake doctors to find all the merch What Donald.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
A quick question?

Speaker 4 (01:26:08):
What what do you say to the people who didn't
register to vote? Now at this point and we're speaking.

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Of I think there's there there are some states where
you can go on the day. You can if you're
listening and you never registered. I think just go to
I will vote dot com and you can find uh
the answer. Some states you can show up on the day.
