Speaker 1: You know, normally we um we wait to bring on
Speaker 1: the v I P guests, but I just have to
Speaker 1: jump right in. I am so taken by how ridiculously
Speaker 1: breathtaking you are in this episode. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie Donald. I texted her while I
Speaker 1: was watching it and said, you know, I don't mean
Speaker 1: to keep it classic, keep it, keep it classic. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to get in trouble with Bill. I just
Speaker 1: want to say I am not to be superficial and
Speaker 1: just talk about looks. She's also a very very very
Speaker 1: funny woman. But holy crap, are you beautiful in this episode.
Speaker 1: And I can say that because you're being sexual and
Speaker 1: luring Johnny C into the bedroom, so I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: comment on that, Donald, But she's doing it and such a.
Speaker 1: That's the way it's supposed to be. When your booty
Speaker 1: calling with your ex right comes over, she says, yo,
Speaker 1: let's do this, and you say, yeah, let's do this,
Speaker 1: and then that's it. That's the rule. Then, by the way, Christa,
Speaker 1: I used to say that all the time to Casey
Speaker 1: when I would have her come over at like, you know,
Speaker 1: ten thirty at night. Them's the rules of the booty
Speaker 1: call baby. I used to say that all the time. Really, Yeah, absolutely, Christal.
Speaker 1: I love how in control Jordan is. She just she
Speaker 1: just And I think it's a good I mean not
Speaker 1: that we were the first show to ever do this,
Speaker 1: but I think it was a good message for women.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like, hey, you can be uh
Speaker 1: if you want sex, like, no shame, go get yours,
Speaker 1: Go be in charge of the booty call. Go get yours.
Speaker 1: Make it happen. Make make it happen for yourself. I
Speaker 1: always tell my friends this. On a different note, you know,
Speaker 1: know how to make it happen for yourself and follow through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you taking shit off anyone? Yeah? And Jordan's was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to hear you talk, like,
Speaker 1: just shut up, take your clothes off. First of all,
Speaker 1: how are you sorry? How are you? I got excited.
Speaker 1: I was just watching an episode. I got excited. I
Speaker 1: miss you. And it was so sweet to hear from
Speaker 1: you guys for my birthday. So I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, no doubt. How's your corn chaining going? You
Speaker 1: know it's my wet dream to be quarantine. There's people
Speaker 1: like Chris, I know, I'm sure if you're listening, you
Speaker 1: know who, Like, wait, you're telling me I don't have
Speaker 1: to leave the house and no one will give me ship.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's not as easy for
Speaker 1: your friend Bill Lawrence, who wants to be around people
Speaker 1: all the time. You know. Did he tell you that
Speaker 1: I put him downstairs? Tell us about that? He told
Speaker 1: us that. You said, that's your office. What's that doing? Well?
Speaker 1: I anticipated that quarantine would be a disaster for our
Speaker 1: marriage and we would ultimately end up divorced if there
Speaker 1: weren't certain rules followed. Um and because Bill, left to
Speaker 1: his own devices, would follow me around the house all day.
Speaker 1: I want to see what I'm doing, you know, um
Speaker 1: fain interest in things he wasn't interested in, and so
Speaker 1: I put him. I put a desk in our downstairs
Speaker 1: guest bedroom. I said it all up, made sure there's
Speaker 1: a big TV in there. I set it up as
Speaker 1: a little pied tear like one might have a little
Speaker 1: studio apartment in New York. And he is he can
Speaker 1: come out for lunch. By the way, he's so By
Speaker 1: the way, Bill is so afraid of Krista. This is
Speaker 1: a funny thing that Donald and I have witnessed like
Speaker 1: when we did this show for nine years, Bill was
Speaker 1: the boss and he was the big brother, and he
Speaker 1: could be scary at times. And then the second he
Speaker 1: was around Krista, it automatically switched and he was like yes, Crista, Yes,
Speaker 1: And Bill was like, this isn't a joke. Bill was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I have to go to the office. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean we're in quarantine. He's like, no, no no,
Speaker 1: Krista made an office for me and I have to.
Speaker 1: It's it's very much it's very much like uh Cox
Speaker 1: and Jordan's no, Like I've never seen Cox slump his
Speaker 1: shoulders like that, like like he does at the end
Speaker 1: of the episode, right, you never see that in the show.
Speaker 1: But here comes to Jordan's and he's like and Bill
Speaker 1: walks around and his chest is all out, and Krista
Speaker 1: comes around. He sinks down like Okay, you got it.
Speaker 1: He submits. I think that's very healthy for your relationship.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you do too, Cristal. But like a guy,
Speaker 1: I mean talk about that because I think a guy
Speaker 1: like Bill, and I know other men and probably women
Speaker 1: and vice versa like this. When they're at work, they're
Speaker 1: kind of the boss. There the alpha, and they come
Speaker 1: home and they need the ying yang of someone be like, no,
Speaker 1: you're not the fucking boss anymore. Okay, there's your room,
Speaker 1: go to your room. Yeah I don't I don't work
Speaker 1: for you, but I will say this at work because
Speaker 1: I think Bill is so talented at his job, and
Speaker 1: he his takes on jokes and how they should be
Speaker 1: on is so spun on. It also has the quality,
Speaker 1: as you guys know, is that if you say I
Speaker 1: want to try it this way, he'll say try it.
Speaker 1: If you're ways better, he'll say, you're right, you're ways better.
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of trusted him. So work,
Speaker 1: actually I was quite You guys didn't notice it, but
Speaker 1: that for me was deferential to build. I saw it
Speaker 1: when you switched to work mode. You were always like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I try it this way? Or you know you
Speaker 1: you you totally switch. But I just love because I'm
Speaker 1: so close with you guys, and I spent so much
Speaker 1: time with you at your home. It was always fun
Speaker 1: from you. I mean now we're all best friends, but
Speaker 1: back in the day when I didn't know you as well,
Speaker 1: it was always so much fun for me to see
Speaker 1: Bill under Christina's thumb. Wait, Zach has witnessed you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to talk about now the
Speaker 1: stop hug Donald Donald, Phil is so pussy whipped. If
Speaker 1: I can say that, Christy, I hope it's not too jarring. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: they go on to Howard Stern all the time, these two,
Speaker 1: and you can so everything is going to be tame
Speaker 1: compared to what these two talk about on Howard Stern together.
Speaker 1: But I Bill is so pussy whipped. But Christie, you
Speaker 1: tell the story. But I feel it's it's so adorable
Speaker 1: and my heart goes out for him. But but you,
Speaker 1: you were on my side by the end of the summer. No,
Speaker 1: I never was. I love you, but I felt the
Speaker 1: guy just the guy, just the guy just wants to
Speaker 1: hug his wife. The poor guy just wants to hug
Speaker 1: his wife. Maybe I'll have Donald so Donald. What happens is,
Speaker 1: I am I'm the way to be doing something. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm working, I'm organizing, I'm writing, and Bill or I'll
Speaker 1: have my hands full of things. And Bill goes stop
Speaker 1: hug and then he and he needs to stop hug.
Speaker 1: I would say to Zach, it's don't you're not explaining
Speaker 1: it stop hug. Stop hug meant that she would have
Speaker 1: to put her things down no matter what was happening,
Speaker 1: and gave him a long, tight embrace. And Kristo we
Speaker 1: were staying in on Long Island together and Chris is like, no,
Speaker 1: what the funk are you talking about? We're not stop
Speaker 1: holding right now. I'd be we'd be out at the
Speaker 1: boat and I'm I'm, you know, tying up the boat
Speaker 1: or trying to get the anchor up, and Bill be like,
Speaker 1: stop hug. No, no, it's so fun for Donald and
Speaker 1: I because I mean, he couldn't even hug us. We
Speaker 1: had to Now he's a hugger. We took it. Took
Speaker 1: a decade, but we turned him into a mail on
Speaker 1: male hugger. But in the beginning he'd be like, high five,
Speaker 1: we're huggers. He would tap you on the show. Hey buddy, ye,
Speaker 1: hey buddy. No, he would he will say, now I'm
Speaker 1: not speaking out of school, that he would like to
Speaker 1: have an adult baby biorn for me to climb into,
Speaker 1: wear me around the house dirt quarantine. That's why I
Speaker 1: had to get him the office. But by the way,
Speaker 1: that sounds amazing. There are so many husbands and wives.
Speaker 1: How long did you marry? There are so many husbands
Speaker 1: and wives who are so over each other sadly after
Speaker 1: twenty years. And Bill is so incredibly in love with you.
Speaker 1: I mean it has not turned down one cell from
Speaker 1: your from the day you met. And I think that's
Speaker 1: so sweet. So my heart always goes out to him
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're like, Bill, go to your fucking office. No, stop,
Speaker 1: hugs Zack, you have to remember that. No, I love
Speaker 1: him so much. He gets plenty of sex, he gets
Speaker 1: plenty of cuddles. Enough is enough. I mean you feel
Speaker 1: sorry for someone who gets a lot of things. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Well, listen, we forgot to sing.
Speaker 1: By the way, I was about to say, I was
Speaker 1: about to say, that's a great way to start the show.
Speaker 1: Bill gets Bill, Lawrence gets plenty of sex. Everybody about Sure.
Speaker 1: We made about a bunch of nurses around here, around here, Christy,
Speaker 1: we gotta go back to the beginning. And now that
Speaker 1: we've sung ourselves, then Donald, No, Donald, I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 1: I was gonna okay, go ahead, man, I know you're excited.
Speaker 1: I was told to turn the game down on my mic.
Speaker 1: I was so excited by Dan. Dan had an intervention
Speaker 1: and said, turn down your mic. You're too giddy. Christa,
Speaker 1: tell us, we're gonna go way back to the beginning.
Speaker 1: Whenever we have our co stars on, we like to
Speaker 1: start the beginning. Even before you met Bill, you were
Speaker 1: in New York. You grew up in Manhattan, and tell
Speaker 1: us about being going from modeling to acting, like that
Speaker 1: section of your life where it was working as a
Speaker 1: model and then into Drew carry Well. I always um,
Speaker 1: I went to acting class at night in high school.
Speaker 1: I went to American Academy of Dramatic Arts and then
Speaker 1: the neighborhood playoffs, and I would ride my bike. I
Speaker 1: had a tend speed bike in New York. UM. I
Speaker 1: would go to school and then I would play in
Speaker 1: some varsity sport that I was in, like basketball or volleyball,
Speaker 1: and then I would ride my bike down to UM
Speaker 1: the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and take acting classes.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be an actor, and modeling was
Speaker 1: just a way to make money. And uh, I originally
Speaker 1: came out here because I got an audition for a
Speaker 1: League of their Own when when David Ansbad was first
Speaker 1: directing it and when he was doing it. You had
Speaker 1: to pass, and they knew I was. You had to
Speaker 1: be a real baseball player. So you had to go
Speaker 1: down with one of the the head coach for one
Speaker 1: of the baseball teams for like this three hour baseball
Speaker 1: audition before you were even allowed to read. And so
Speaker 1: I did that. I got the part. David oun Spot
Speaker 1: ultimately got fired from the movie and Penny Marshall took over,
Speaker 1: and um I ended up dating him and but staying
Speaker 1: out here and starting with that, you know, doing acting,
Speaker 1: and what happens is I got an episode of The
Speaker 1: Fresh Prince of bel Air. That was your first job. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't my first job, but I it was one
Speaker 1: of the first few ones. And it was so fun.
Speaker 1: Will Smith would he did this. First of all, there's
Speaker 1: loud music playing any time they cut, loud musically playing
Speaker 1: on stage. He was so lovely and he would do
Speaker 1: these speed throughs with everybody and just it was such
Speaker 1: a fun thing. And I thought, why am I doing that,
Speaker 1: this drama, painful memories of childhood. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it. And that was what got me started to
Speaker 1: want to do comedy. Well. And also you're funny and
Speaker 1: I think that one thing that Hollywood really embraces. You know,
Speaker 1: there's there's there's plenty of pretty people, but a pretty
Speaker 1: person who can be hilarious like you can be. It
Speaker 1: was no doubt that you were going to have a
Speaker 1: big career. Well, I was gonna say, I was gonna
Speaker 1: I was gonna say later on in the conversation, but
Speaker 1: I think I want to say it now. We uh like,
Speaker 1: we we watched this back. We watched this show back,
Speaker 1: and it's been such a long time since we've seen
Speaker 1: the show that we uh tend to forget a lot
Speaker 1: of things. And one thing that I forgot was how
Speaker 1: funny you are, Krista. Like every one of your jokes
Speaker 1: lands every time, and the sarcasm and the sass, it
Speaker 1: all shines through. And so when I'm watching these episodes,
Speaker 1: I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, of course they
Speaker 1: get back together, they marry each other, so well, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And you know, John C's characters
Speaker 1: put into the show to be you know, this sarcastic
Speaker 1: mentor for j D it's only right that he has
Speaker 1: a sarcastic wife, you know, or ex wife or love
Speaker 1: interest on the show. And so when when when when
Speaker 1: watching this, it's like it's like you guys are playing tennis,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and he's hitting it to
Speaker 1: you and you're spiking it back and he's like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: let me spike it back, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's so great to watch. It's a lot like the
Speaker 1: banter of Bill and Christa. I mean, they they do
Speaker 1: that sparring back and forth and the sarcasm back and
Speaker 1: forth and um and can be quite biting. I once
Speaker 1: said to them, did you guys meet at mean camp? Donald,
Speaker 1: that's so sweet of you to say thank you. You know,
Speaker 1: when I watch my boys have been watching going through
Speaker 1: watching Scrubs, all the episodes all any time I go
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, I'll watch and I think, see how
Speaker 1: good you guys are, and you see how like every show, Oh,
Speaker 1: you guys get more and more in the groove better
Speaker 1: and and and Donald, your physical um comedy is so
Speaker 1: strong and you allow it. You know. I think it
Speaker 1: was maybe because it was in a hospital and everyone
Speaker 1: was there together. It was like this very safe place
Speaker 1: to like kind of bring your a game. That's what
Speaker 1: I felt on that show. You would step in and
Speaker 1: also that you would want to be friends with everybody, um,
Speaker 1: you know, from the crew to the cat to everyone
Speaker 1: that was there. But you just step in and you're
Speaker 1: in a safe place to do that. You know that
Speaker 1: the show would not have worked at all if there
Speaker 1: wasn't this environment of there's no wrong answer. You know,
Speaker 1: actors can were so neurotic. You can get in your
Speaker 1: head and go, oh, I'm not making anyone laugh or
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that because it's if it's
Speaker 1: they don't laugh, I'll feel stupid. Bill and the crew
Speaker 1: and everyone and and us. We created this environment where
Speaker 1: like go nuts like they're is no wrong answer, Like
Speaker 1: if you if you go too far, don't worry. We'll
Speaker 1: choose a take that that's that isn't as broad, but
Speaker 1: like it gave all of us the freedom to just
Speaker 1: fucking go for it right well and doing and doing
Speaker 1: this rewatch right now. It's really what's really fun to
Speaker 1: watch is how when we first started, how tight we
Speaker 1: all were, you know what I mean? We were all
Speaker 1: so tight, and now we're starting where what is this
Speaker 1: episode one? What? Uh one eighteen? We're all starting to
Speaker 1: really loosen up now, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: everybody's starting to spread out and you can feel that
Speaker 1: the nervous energy has gone and we're starting to play
Speaker 1: on camera. And uh yeah. But my point, my point
Speaker 1: was when you came in, you were already there, You
Speaker 1: were all ready to play, already ready to play. And
Speaker 1: I think that has a lot to do with you
Speaker 1: doing Drew Carey at the time and being on television
Speaker 1: for what it was like seven years at this point,
Speaker 1: eight years at this point. Yeah. Well, also because it's
Speaker 1: a live audience, so you're you're used to it, but
Speaker 1: I wasn't. It wasn't. I was tight because I wasn't
Speaker 1: used to the medium of single camera comedy, which is different,
Speaker 1: you know than doing a sitcom. But I remember Bill
Speaker 1: said to me, and it might have been on this episode,
Speaker 1: he said, you know, when it's not your coverage, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to explain. You know,
Speaker 1: when the camera's not on you, you're doing broad, funny,
Speaker 1: crazy things, and I want you to do at least
Speaker 1: two of those takes when it's when the camera's on you.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I am having a disconnect.
Speaker 1: I'm so much freer and looser when you're doing Genius
Speaker 1: Ship off camera. You're doing genius off camera, you might
Speaker 1: wanna you might want to meld the two. So Donald,
Speaker 1: Donald just brought just talking about Drew for a second,
Speaker 1: because it was a big chunk of your life. You're
Speaker 1: one of the you're one of the lucky actors in
Speaker 1: the in the in the world of Hollywood that can
Speaker 1: go from one successful show to another. We we talked
Speaker 1: about how Neil Flynn did that after Scrubsy then went
Speaker 1: and start on on the middle for forever that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what was the obviously just reminding audience that don't
Speaker 1: know the difference. Some sitcoms are are filmed like a play.
Speaker 1: They're done in front of a live audience. That's why
Speaker 1: you hear the laughs and um, you know, they set
Speaker 1: up four or five cameras and they and they shoot
Speaker 1: it like a play and they cut in between them.
Speaker 1: Whereas when we shoot Scrubs, there's no audience. We're shooting
Speaker 1: it like a movie with with with the one angle
Speaker 1: at a time or two angles at a time. So
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Drew, Krista and and and
Speaker 1: what that experience was like and again transitioning to Scrubs
Speaker 1: from that, you know, it was so unusual. I mean
Speaker 1: you know this that you're not working, and then you
Speaker 1: you're all of a sudden, you're on a show. You know,
Speaker 1: it was just and doing twenty six episodes and you're
Speaker 1: on this big show. And I had so much fun.
Speaker 1: And it was also a great learning experience because it
Speaker 1: is it was so foreign to me that particular medium
Speaker 1: of doing it like that, because you realize, you know,
Speaker 1: when you're doing a sitcom, the audience and we've all
Speaker 1: done them, the audience becomes on show night, another character
Speaker 1: in the scene. And so it's really about listening and
Speaker 1: being able to change your jokes and not being married
Speaker 1: to a joke that you might have done funny in
Speaker 1: the table reader sometime during the week. It's really about
Speaker 1: listening and being organic, because if you're not, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get stuck. It's just everything's going to be flat. They
Speaker 1: also give you such a high, though, don't they Like
Speaker 1: when you could never go to sleep. I would come home,
Speaker 1: I would take a bath, I would do you have
Speaker 1: to do everything, talk about booty calls after showing what
Speaker 1: you're doing, what you're doing just finished the show. I
Speaker 1: know what that means. Yeah, because you can't go to sleep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember I did. I did the excess for three
Speaker 1: or four years after Scrubs and uh, I remember, show
Speaker 1: nights were the hardest nights to go to sleep. Every
Speaker 1: other night you could pass out, no problem, but you're
Speaker 1: just so high from doing the show and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to come down when, especially when show
Speaker 1: felt like it went good and like you said, the
Speaker 1: audience gives you all of this energy and you could
Speaker 1: be tired going into the show, but then after you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: where are we going? What are we doing? No? I
Speaker 1: have a good I can I can mix Drew Carry
Speaker 1: and Scrubs in a story. So Drew got into improv,
Speaker 1: which I think is the work of the devil, and
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like doing improv and I don't
Speaker 1: like watching improv. So Drew wanted to do these and
Speaker 1: Brian did improv and you know, blah blah blah. So
Speaker 1: he wanted to do these episodes live one year on Drew.
Speaker 1: That would be a live episode already, which would be
Speaker 1: nerve wracking because it's live. And then secondly, have it
Speaker 1: be improv so while you were doing the show, they
Speaker 1: would press a button and then you would have to
Speaker 1: change the line. Okay, so I was that I'm getting
Speaker 1: anxious hearing about it. Yeah, so I was like, fuck
Speaker 1: that noise, because I don't I'm not a writer. I
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. So this became the most
Speaker 1: fun thing ever that we would go. We would I
Speaker 1: would take my script into the Scrubs writer's room because
Speaker 1: it started when when we're at Scrubs and every line,
Speaker 1: I had all the Scrubs writers and it would they
Speaker 1: would we would stop for the day and they would write.
Speaker 1: They would write all the all jokes that were really funny,
Speaker 1: like they're no better writers ever than this that Scrubs
Speaker 1: writers him, right, So they're writing the funniest alt jokes.
Speaker 1: But Drew didn't know. And so then on show night,
Speaker 1: and I remember this one particular night, all the Scrubs
Speaker 1: writers came and they were sitting with Bill and they're
Speaker 1: all excited because they know the button is gonna be passed.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say one of their jokes that I've memorized,
Speaker 1: so it's not anything improv about it. You have to walk.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to send you that this one show
Speaker 1: because you'll die laughing. So I am doing it and
Speaker 1: Drew's getting so mad that he keeps pressing the button
Speaker 1: for me to do. But I have locked in load
Speaker 1: I got. I got so many locked loaded that I
Speaker 1: had an applause break on my jokes and Drew a bit.
Speaker 1: He was so mad. He's like, but that's not really improv.
Speaker 1: I like, but I'm I don't do improv, So what
Speaker 1: difference does it make? And I sold it to you
Speaker 1: know how you can sell improv like your look like
Speaker 1: you're you do the little ship look up? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta sell it to the audience. What episode is this?
Speaker 1: Because maybe ours want to? I know I will. I
Speaker 1: have to find out. I'm sure if you google Drew
Speaker 1: carey improvisational episodes, they'll find him. Yeah. And so did
Speaker 1: Drew know that? I mean he must have known that
Speaker 1: Bill was because he Bill was a famous TV writer,
Speaker 1: so well, yeah, well he knew when he saw all
Speaker 1: the And also, you know when writers hear their own jokes,
Speaker 1: they're hysterical, right, So I had already sold it by
Speaker 1: looking up like I'm this coming, and then then then
Speaker 1: it would be this huge laugh, which I would have
Speaker 1: never gotten because I'm not that funny on my feet
Speaker 1: live I'm here to tell you, Okay, I've seen you
Speaker 1: live before and you're wonderful. Donald. I love you, thank you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they were all hysterical, like just more hysterical
Speaker 1: boll then normal people. So Drew just knew, he just
Speaker 1: knew it was all the Scrubs writers and I had memorized.
Speaker 1: Drew looks up and he's like, why is the entire
Speaker 1: Scrubs writers right here at an improv at an improv
Speaker 1: deeping of Drew carry I've never really I've done a
Speaker 1: guest on on Donald's Does to Come? And I we
Speaker 1: did our Scrubs one, but I've never really had a
Speaker 1: role on one, And um, what I always love is
Speaker 1: going and standing next to people like Bill because when
Speaker 1: a joke for those of you who don't know, when
Speaker 1: a joke doesn't work or doesn't get a big laugh,
Speaker 1: then all the writers sort of huddle up on a
Speaker 1: non on a traditional one, not on the improv one,
Speaker 1: like like Christ is talking about, and then they kind
Speaker 1: of come up with a better or an all joke.
Speaker 1: And I've had times where it's so much fun, Rob whispering,
Speaker 1: Bill's here like a joke pitch and then some actor
Speaker 1: I've never met before says the line gets a huge laugh,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like celebrating, like, well, that was more
Speaker 1: fun than anything I've ever done. But didn't you used
Speaker 1: to do that a lot? So come into Undateable and
Speaker 1: be Bill. I was always said, I'm wanting Zack to
Speaker 1: come down. Did it Undtable? I did it on some
Speaker 1: of his other ones, And I would come on show
Speaker 1: night just for that fun because I love pitching jokes
Speaker 1: and when yours gets on and it gets a laugh,
Speaker 1: and especially when I've never even met the person saying
Speaker 1: it and they get and they kill I'm like, that
Speaker 1: sounds good. It's like broadcast news. Remember when he when
Speaker 1: Albert Brooks calls Holly Hunter and he says, I I
Speaker 1: say it here, it comes out there and it's just
Speaker 1: like whispering into Bill's ear, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: some random not random, but an actor on the show
Speaker 1: I had never met says it. It was a good feeling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you came on the Ex's I remember that happened too,
Speaker 1: Like they had a whole different idea for what they
Speaker 1: wanted you to do. And You're like, no, you know, guys,
Speaker 1: don't you think it would be funny if I came
Speaker 1: in and I just wanted to base Yeah, yeah, funny episode.
Speaker 1: I try and know he's balanced. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be the guy who's like trying to write too many
Speaker 1: of my jokes. But if there's if they give me
Speaker 1: a little bit of rope, I'm like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna age the character. Now, my character wants them
Speaker 1: sex with that guy that was I remember. I remember
Speaker 1: being like, holy cow, dude, we're actually gonna make an
Speaker 1: entire episode about how Zach Braff's character wants to bang
Speaker 1: David allen Bach. And it all came from you going
Speaker 1: up to the creator of that show saying, dude, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's funny. But wouldn't it be funnier if I tried
Speaker 1: to fund this, dude, Yeah, way funnier if I was
Speaker 1: trying to bang one of the leads of the show.
Speaker 1: It was great. It's good episode. To check that out.
Speaker 1: Check out me guest starring on the ex Is with
Speaker 1: the legendary Donald phase on. So um, wait, Chris to
Speaker 1: talk a little bit. We're gonna get into the show,
Speaker 1: but we just have I feel like we could do
Speaker 1: an hour and a half. We could do an hour,
Speaker 1: just don't asking questions, right, thank you. I want to
Speaker 1: know about you meeting Bill Lawrence. Well, I wanted to
Speaker 1: know that too. How but I want to know how.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard versions of this, but I want
Speaker 1: to heat I've never heard this before. Listen. The guy
Speaker 1: was a swinging bachelor in Manhattan. He had a hit show,
Speaker 1: a Spin City. They didn't shoot a lot of shows
Speaker 1: in New York at the time, and so Bill was
Speaker 1: a big deal and he was feeling himself. I think
Speaker 1: he had bleached blonde hair for a while. And I
Speaker 1: want to know how is his game? How did he
Speaker 1: hit on you? How did he land a beautiful, talented
Speaker 1: woman like you? Well, do you want to hear? The
Speaker 1: weirdest thing is that you know, Bill was married before
Speaker 1: and his ex wife had one line on Drew Terry
Speaker 1: as a bartender when we first started the show, and
Speaker 1: I remember that she had the most beautiful engagement ring on.
Speaker 1: And then one day, this very handsome man came to
Speaker 1: visit her and I was like, I couldn't understand it
Speaker 1: that she had this handsome husband. And I was just
Speaker 1: like full career, you know, I was so far away
Speaker 1: from I was only booty calls. I was just like
Speaker 1: on the career thing anyway, and that was Bill and
Speaker 1: that was his ex wife, but I didn't know it then.
Speaker 1: So I was went to New York. You know, they
Speaker 1: do the upfront to New York where they announced all
Speaker 1: the shows and yeah, we've told that's what we've told
Speaker 1: the famous story of Donald Nuggie and Jeff Zucker to
Speaker 1: the people, right. So we I went to go the
Speaker 1: upfronts and I was dating someone at the time who
Speaker 1: had some beef with ABC, an actor, but he flew
Speaker 1: with me to the upfronts and then he didn't want to.
Speaker 1: And then I happened to go on Howard Stern with
Speaker 1: Drew Carey and they made fun of this actor on
Speaker 1: on Howard Stern, and at that time with Howard Stern,
Speaker 1: they had them. It was on E so you were
Speaker 1: also on camera. And what they did is put up
Speaker 1: a picture of this actor that I was. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the guy, that's horrible, but also
Speaker 1: I was now Alman Howard, Who's Howard supersedes everybody. So
Speaker 1: I was laughing and they broke the picture and then
Speaker 1: they cut to me and Drew is laughing so hard
Speaker 1: that he's pounding he has when he laughed really hard
Speaker 1: to guess the high pitched laugh, which is so contagious.
Speaker 1: He's pounding the desk and I'm laughing. I came home
Speaker 1: and that this particular actor was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: He was on the plane back. But I mean, in
Speaker 1: his defense, your your your girlfriends on Howard Stern and
Speaker 1: they're all making fun of you. Really had made a
Speaker 1: bad choice, but in career. But anyway, so he declined
Speaker 1: that night to come with me to the ABC party.
Speaker 1: I'm not going, and now I'm not going, and that
Speaker 1: decision changed the course of his life and your life forever.
Speaker 1: So and I remember it was pouring rain. I was like,
Speaker 1: and they they started late, and Jamie Tarses was throwing
Speaker 1: it my friend Jamie Tarsis because she was the president
Speaker 1: of ABC at the time. And I had to go
Speaker 1: down to this party at the Merciall Hotel by myself,
Speaker 1: and which is a horrible mistake on this boy friends,
Speaker 1: don't leave your your your beautiful girlfriend to go to
Speaker 1: a fancy party alone because you're powdered. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the recipe for disaster. Recipe for disasters. This is like
Speaker 1: a Catherine Heigel movie plot. I mean, I've seen this movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I walk in it gets better. And this actor's
Speaker 1: friend was friends with Alan Ruck. I knew Alan Ruck
Speaker 1: because of this actor boyfriend that I had, And Alan
Speaker 1: Ruck stood up and said, Krista, Hi, come me everybody
Speaker 1: on my show. So Alan Ruck was one of the
Speaker 1: stars of Spin City. Yes, he was also Cameron from
Speaker 1: Ferris Peeler's Day Off Right, very funny actor, lovely man.
Speaker 1: So I walked over to the their section Spin City
Speaker 1: section and Bill Lawrence stood up in a really cute
Speaker 1: suit right away and said, Hi, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: And my first thing is I was like, what am
Speaker 1: I doing with this stupid actor when there's p boat
Speaker 1: like this in the world. There's guys like this that
Speaker 1: are so cute. And did he ask for h did
Speaker 1: he ask for a stop hug? No? But so I
Speaker 1: ended up I think, just hanging with them the whole time.
Speaker 1: And then Bill said, I just bought this loft. Do
Speaker 1: you want to go see it? Now? I had grown
Speaker 1: up in New York and I was like, I w
Speaker 1: there's no more power move in the world. Then do
Speaker 1: you want to come see this loft? I just bought
Speaker 1: a bought a new loft. Do you want to see it?
Speaker 1: And I of course was like aloft, sure, Like I
Speaker 1: had never seen one. What's that? What's that? Aloft? But
Speaker 1: this is where it went bad a little. So we
Speaker 1: go to his go to his apartment, and there was
Speaker 1: a girl that came over, was like six of us,
Speaker 1: and I said to her, I didn't unbeknownst to me,
Speaker 1: she had a crush on him. And I said to her,
Speaker 1: who's this Bill Lawrence. He's pretty cute and she said, oh,
Speaker 1: he's a player. Oh yeah. And so and then when
Speaker 1: we went up, because we went up to his apartment
Speaker 1: and because it was the Upfronts, he had had a
Speaker 1: party in his loft the night before, so there was
Speaker 1: like cigarettes and it was just he had a whole party,
Speaker 1: was boot and I thought, oh, oh, he's just a player.
Speaker 1: He's trying to get on, you know, forget it. And
Speaker 1: when I was leaving, Bill said, can I get your number?
Speaker 1: Can I call you? And I was like, if you
Speaker 1: can find me, can call me, which he did. And
Speaker 1: that was in May, and then we didn't start dating
Speaker 1: until m because he was in New York and I
Speaker 1: was in in l A. We spoke on the phone
Speaker 1: and then Thanksgiving, I was back in New York and
Speaker 1: I was walking by his apartment and I thought, I
Speaker 1: wonder how that cute Bill Lawrences? And I called him
Speaker 1: and he didn't call me back, but he called me
Speaker 1: back two days later and he was he was in Jamaica,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know this. And he called me back
Speaker 1: and said, uh, you better be single, and I said
Speaker 1: I am, and he said, Okay, I'm gonna fly out
Speaker 1: on Saturday and take you to dinner. Donald and I
Speaker 1: never got to win. And we love this guy. He's
Speaker 1: so important to us, and we never got to see
Speaker 1: the legendary single version of him. We've heard tales, but um,
Speaker 1: what a what a good technique. I'm gonna fly out
Speaker 1: to take you on a date Donald, right that listen, Man,
Speaker 1: if I had the books, that's exactly what I would
Speaker 1: do to. On that note, we're got to go to
Speaker 1: a quick commercial break. We'll be right back with Christa Miller.
Speaker 1: Should we get into the episode you guys, I think
Speaker 1: we should at some point. I you know I would.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I mean I could literally do a full
Speaker 1: show just on Christa Miller. But I love you guys.
Speaker 1: Are making my year well I think you're a great guest,
Speaker 1: and so you have a lot of things that we
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. One, because you have are the
Speaker 1: creator of the show that we both be very famous
Speaker 1: on You Have His Heart. We love to hear insight
Speaker 1: about him and how you guys met and everything like that,
Speaker 1: and so forgive us, especially things that are mildly embarrassing,
Speaker 1: like stop, wait, but is the funniest should we have
Speaker 1: you told this story yet? On this that how Bill
Speaker 1: used to say to you guys. Chris didn't like, Oh no,
Speaker 1: I haven't told that story. God that joke by christ
Speaker 1: And she was like, it's not. The director first, you know,
Speaker 1: the director first does a cut of the episode, and
Speaker 1: then I would show it to Bill and I and
Speaker 1: I choose, let's say, a particular joke that maybe was
Speaker 1: improv or something, and that I thought was hilarious, and
Speaker 1: I put in my cut and Bill be like and
Speaker 1: then I see Bill's cut, and as the director, I'd like, oh,
Speaker 1: why did you take out that moment that was so funny?
Speaker 1: Why did you do that? And he go, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? No one understands that joke, and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, really, I mean, we were all cracking up
Speaker 1: in the edit room, and he'd go, yeah, I showed
Speaker 1: it to Christa and she was like, what the hell
Speaker 1: was that joking? I don't understand it. Then I'd see
Speaker 1: Krista and I'd be like, Christie, you didn't think that
Speaker 1: joke was funny, and she'd be like, Zack, do you
Speaker 1: really think that I'm watching rough cuts? In what world?
Speaker 1: He was such a fucking liar, but he would do
Speaker 1: that also with the music to like I remember him
Speaker 1: telling you, came up to you one time and said,
Speaker 1: this song would work perfectly here. Why can't you let
Speaker 1: me do this one song? He I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what you're talking about. I don't even
Speaker 1: know you. You have no idea how often, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: not just with me, but with all the entire staff,
Speaker 1: how often you were used as bad cup? You know.
Speaker 1: I just showed it to Christie and she just didn't
Speaker 1: like it, and she didn't get it, or she didn't
Speaker 1: like it, she didn't get it, she she hated it.
Speaker 1: And then everybody would drop it right there and there
Speaker 1: and it would be like, oh, okay, yeah, well, how
Speaker 1: can you you know Chris didn't like Again he did that.
Speaker 1: He did that all the time. Another funny build thing.
Speaker 1: That a technique that that I've since stolen a couple
Speaker 1: of them. One for you aspiring directors out there. It's
Speaker 1: considered bad form for a director to tell an actor
Speaker 1: how to say a line. It's called giving them a
Speaker 1: line reading, and and it's you're supposed to use your
Speaker 1: skills and your communication and your articulation to get to
Speaker 1: steer them to say the line the way you want
Speaker 1: to say it. But sometimes they're just not doing it
Speaker 1: the way you envisioned or the writer envisioned. And this
Speaker 1: can be frustrating. And Bill had a way around it
Speaker 1: where he would go, um, he'd go, you know, he
Speaker 1: would say, let's say that a guest star all makeup
Speaker 1: named Tim. He'd go, Tim. You know, at the table read,
Speaker 1: you did it so funny. You had me laughing so hard.
Speaker 1: You did it just like this. You were like, we
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here and whatever. And the guy,
Speaker 1: the actor would be like, I did that? Is that
Speaker 1: is funny? I didn't like that. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you did at the table reading was hilarious.
Speaker 1: And the actor's ego is all glowing and like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll do it just like that, and the actor had
Speaker 1: never done it like that. Bill totally made that ship
Speaker 1: up right, Krista, Oh, he does it all the time.
Speaker 1: But I also love that that we all got because
Speaker 1: when we and wheneverone started on Scrubs, you'd be like,
Speaker 1: I don't you can't get the line readings. That's not
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. And then by season three
Speaker 1: everyone's Bill, just tell me how you want how do
Speaker 1: you want me to say? Yeah? I love it. As
Speaker 1: the director, I love it when people do that because
Speaker 1: you're like, you're just trying to be so tactful and
Speaker 1: if someone just like just tell me you want to say, like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank god, another trick tick, Bill will do in the
Speaker 1: same vein would go. He got in his head that
Speaker 1: if you didn't say words, it wasn't technically giving a
Speaker 1: line reading. So if it was like if the line
Speaker 1: was like we gotta get out of here, and he
Speaker 1: wanted it like that, he'd like, you know, could you
Speaker 1: do it? Like we're like, well, you're just giving a
Speaker 1: line reading with noise is now? You know? Like that? Also,
Speaker 1: Bill gets so mad, well, he got the most man
Speaker 1: over the first time that Zack directed it, was the
Speaker 1: first time Zack directed, and I came home like the
Speaker 1: third day and I said, Bill, Oh my god. With
Speaker 1: Zack directed, it's like being on a movie set. He's
Speaker 1: so good and his training as a as a you know,
Speaker 1: as an actor, and and it directs is his direction
Speaker 1: is so incredible. It's so amazing. It's like and He's like,
Speaker 1: really is it is? It like being on a movie
Speaker 1: set when Jack is there. You have to understand that
Speaker 1: Bill and I my relationship was so big brother little brother.
Speaker 1: And whenever Krista I mean, I mean, the compliments were genuine,
Speaker 1: I think and thank you. But whenever Kristo accompliment me
Speaker 1: in front of Bill, I would be like, oh god,
Speaker 1: this is it was just like j D and Cox.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh god, this is not going to
Speaker 1: be good for me. You really, you really need to
Speaker 1: stop complimenting me. It's in front of him, please, because
Speaker 1: something was going to happened to me. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny though. I will say this, because Bill showed
Speaker 1: me everyone's audition tapes for Scrubs, and with every single
Speaker 1: one of you, I was like, Oh, well that's the person.
Speaker 1: That's the person that has to do it. And I
Speaker 1: remember the whole Bill's the rest of the time was
Speaker 1: finessing and that's what he's so good at to make
Speaker 1: sure that he got to pick. And there was a
Speaker 1: whole math equation of how to do it, of like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring in these other two people, you know,
Speaker 1: because I really want Donald or Zack or with everyone.
Speaker 1: And it was but if you if you don't know
Speaker 1: getting your choice, even if you're the showrunner of the
Speaker 1: show through to a network, there's a strategy to it.
Speaker 1: You can't just go in and say I want Donald
Speaker 1: phase On and Zach Brath, thanks guys, because and Bill
Speaker 1: is is very good at that. He's like, well, if
Speaker 1: I want Zack and Donald, I have to say this,
Speaker 1: I have to act like this. I can't be too
Speaker 1: excited about you know as a whole. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: whole strategy to it. I've experienced it and and as
Speaker 1: a director and not gotten the person I thought was
Speaker 1: clearly the best. But then you got to go shoot
Speaker 1: the pilot, and you're shooting the pilot with someone you
Speaker 1: think is is good and talented, but not necessarily as
Speaker 1: as as good as the other person. And it's you know,
Speaker 1: you only you don't always get who you want, you know,
Speaker 1: And and Bill was a really skilled that at knowing
Speaker 1: the strategy, like, oh, if I I'm gonna you know,
Speaker 1: he gave us a couple extra jokes, and he would,
Speaker 1: you know, when we came in the room. You know,
Speaker 1: it's so intimidating. He would make all these jokes to
Speaker 1: make everyone already start laughing. So by the time he's
Speaker 1: like a warm up comic. By the time time for
Speaker 1: your audition, they're already giggling. You know. Yeah, it's but
Speaker 1: it's also interesting because sometimes on a pilot, I remember
Speaker 1: with Scrubs, sometimes in a pilot, you would go on
Speaker 1: this part, I'll give in, I'll let them choose, or
Speaker 1: you've given on that so you can have the other
Speaker 1: people that you like. And on Scrubs, Bill wasn't willing
Speaker 1: to budge on anyone, you know, he really knew who
Speaker 1: he wanted, and so he had to do that with
Speaker 1: all of you guys. But it is also a good
Speaker 1: lesson in casting or if you're up for a role,
Speaker 1: you guys right at the beginning, because I saw the
Speaker 1: producers sessions, you know, so I wasn't even watching to
Speaker 1: the network test, which were you guys, we're really on
Speaker 1: a roll by then. It was so clear that all
Speaker 1: of you should have those parts, you know, And it's
Speaker 1: just I wanted it, so I remember wanting it so bad.
Speaker 1: I wanted it so bad. It was like, and I went,
Speaker 1: I've said the story before. I went up against my
Speaker 1: friends that day and uh, some friends of mine, and
Speaker 1: I remember I remember being like, they don't want it
Speaker 1: as bad as I do, dude, and nobody wants it
Speaker 1: this bad. So, so what was your story? Have you
Speaker 1: talked about liked you? Yeah? Absolutely, we talked about we've
Speaker 1: we've we've told it before. But so haven't you read
Speaker 1: the script? Can you tell me quickly? Yeah? I hadn't
Speaker 1: read the script. I just auditioned for It's me. I
Speaker 1: just had an audition for. I remember auditioning for Bill
Speaker 1: and Danny Rose. That's what I really remember. For some reason,
Speaker 1: Danny Rose was in the room, and uh, and I
Speaker 1: remember Bill laughing at everything, and so my confidence was
Speaker 1: through the roof. And he was like, all right, let's
Speaker 1: meet again. You know. My agents were like, you got
Speaker 1: a call back for it, and I went in the
Speaker 1: callback and it was Bill once again, and he was like,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna bring you in front of uh the
Speaker 1: network and everything. You're gonna test for this. But I
Speaker 1: just wanted to rehearse this with you, so you had
Speaker 1: so you were ready to go when we go into
Speaker 1: the audition, and I did, and we rehearsed it, and
Speaker 1: I went in on the audition and I blew the audition.
Speaker 1: And never in my life has anybody ever come up
Speaker 1: to me, like within the half hour that we're all
Speaker 1: they're testing, after everybody went in. I never had anyone
Speaker 1: come up to me. After he called me out in
Speaker 1: front of everybody, like Donald, come on, come here, let
Speaker 1: me talk to you. And I remember all of them
Speaker 1: making faces like, oh ship. I guess he got the part.
Speaker 1: But I was saying, oh Ship, I'm the first one
Speaker 1: going home. And he takes me into the hallway and
Speaker 1: he says, uh, you blew the audition. You know you
Speaker 1: fucked up the audition, right? You do know you funked
Speaker 1: up right? Right? It was it was sincerely, it was clearly.
Speaker 1: It was just like Bill Duke in UH Minister Society
Speaker 1: when he's talking to dude at the police station. See,
Speaker 1: now you know you don't sucked up now, right? And
Speaker 1: I said, I said I did, And he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you were very big and very you know,
Speaker 1: I needed to come in there and do it like
Speaker 1: you've been doing it before. All of the stuff that
Speaker 1: you talked about, Zack, you know you did it at
Speaker 1: the table read you know you did at the rehearsal
Speaker 1: this way, you know what I mean, Everything that you
Speaker 1: guys just talked about, you actually had. In this instance,
Speaker 1: he had. He had made you progress so far because
Speaker 1: he were doing We loved And when Bill told this story,
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he gave you some bit of
Speaker 1: direction that and you were nervous and it made you
Speaker 1: go just to volume eleven and he was like, bro, bro,
Speaker 1: bring it down, bring it downright. Well, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: when somebody says, make sure you're talking to the back
Speaker 1: of the room when you're doing your stuff, don't tell
Speaker 1: me that. Don't tell me that. Manny had a similar tale.
Speaker 1: Wait then you went in and did you kill it?
Speaker 1: I don't know if I killed it, but I definitely
Speaker 1: got the part. I'll tell you that. Like I know
Speaker 1: that Bill. Whatever they were thinking about me, Bill convinced
Speaker 1: them that I was the right person for the part,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I know that because
Speaker 1: after the audition, you know, the call came in that
Speaker 1: I got it. But I remember leaving and not necessarily
Speaker 1: feeling like I got the part, even though they sent
Speaker 1: everybody home and Sarah and I and this other dude
Speaker 1: were there, uh you know we you know, Sarah said
Speaker 1: something like, well, I guess we all got the I
Speaker 1: guess we got the part. In my heart, I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't get the part. Dude, I kind of sucked up,
Speaker 1: and he told me I fucked up, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And then when I got when my agent
Speaker 1: called and told me that I got the part, that's
Speaker 1: when I was like, oh, ship, he somehow made this happen.
Speaker 1: Like if he wants it to happen for you, he's
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen. And he's done it several times before.
Speaker 1: You know, there's times where you know, I've I've done
Speaker 1: pilots with Bill like I was. I did the pilot
Speaker 1: for Undateable, you know what I mean. He was like, Donald,
Speaker 1: come in, there's a role. I want you to do it.
Speaker 1: The network doesn't NBC doesn't know that you're coming in.
Speaker 1: You come in and you just read with christ' Leiah
Speaker 1: and I was like, alright, Bet and I did it.
Speaker 1: They were like, we can't have Donald Phazon, who was
Speaker 1: just on your last show in your next show. Dude,
Speaker 1: that's impossible. We can't do that. But you know, it
Speaker 1: was great to see him. And then you know, he
Speaker 1: did another pilot, UH called spaced Out, and at the
Speaker 1: time I wasn't working, and he was like, Donald, I
Speaker 1: got a role for you, then why don't you come in,
Speaker 1: you know, play this role on spaced Out. So like
Speaker 1: when he and I didn't have to test, I didn't
Speaker 1: have to do anything for that one, and this was
Speaker 1: this was one of the stars of the show. And
Speaker 1: so when Bill wants it to happen, if he if
Speaker 1: he wants you to be in something, he's gonna do
Speaker 1: everything that he can to get you into that get
Speaker 1: into series. I think it's safe to say that he's
Speaker 1: a big fan of Donald Fazone. He loves all you guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all you guys are going to
Speaker 1: be having to work with Bill through the rest of
Speaker 1: your lives. Well, I love it. You know. I went
Speaker 1: and directed his new show that he's doing with Jason
Speaker 1: Sadakis when I was in London, and Uh, I had
Speaker 1: an amazing time with working with him. I missed it.
Speaker 1: We we fell back into this groove of just sitting
Speaker 1: next to the monitors and pitching jokes and coming up
Speaker 1: with cool stuff. And I really, I really love collaborating
Speaker 1: with him so much. All right, let's get to the episode.
Speaker 1: I know, but now you took us down in nostalgia
Speaker 1: lane and I'm feeling all like like like like my
Speaker 1: heart is going. We've been talking for forty nine minutes,
Speaker 1: and we know we have a legendary Krista Miller. Bro.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we could talk for days about a
Speaker 1: lot of people on my Instagram, right, Zach, stop saying
Speaker 1: that we that you're going too long. We love it,
Speaker 1: and I that's that's fine. I just there might be
Speaker 1: other people who were like, Bro, my run is an
Speaker 1: hour and a half, and keep it to an hour
Speaker 1: and a half. Somebody, you know, somebody told me that
Speaker 1: I told you this, that they didn't like me do
Speaker 1: an opera voice. Yeah, but I told you that's like
Speaker 1: someone saying they don't like um, you know Caddyshack, Like,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, it's genius, it's genius. We've got
Speaker 1: christ I was hoping Kristin would get her opera voice. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: so we start the episode with now A J. D
Speaker 1: and Elliott are friends again. That was a pretty quick
Speaker 1: bout of a couple not talking to each other right there,
Speaker 1: just back into like being BFFs again. Well, I think
Speaker 1: after what happened in the episode where your teacher died,
Speaker 1: thanks changed were two episodes at and after that, aren't
Speaker 1: we Um? I don't know. I was just had this
Speaker 1: first reaction after introducing the Hey number one number two guy.
Speaker 1: Um uh that like, Wow, we're just bantering like we're
Speaker 1: all buddies. There's no there's no awkward, awkward blood between us. Now.
Speaker 1: I remember the number one Hey number two guys. Do
Speaker 1: you remember his name? Because we hung out with that
Speaker 1: guy after work one night, just just you, me and him.
Speaker 1: I looked it up. We did remember. I don't remember,
Speaker 1: and I remember that was the first I remember. That
Speaker 1: was one of the first people that guests starred on
Speaker 1: the show that we hung out with. His name is
Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope I'm pronouncing it right. Eric
Speaker 1: site s A I E. T. And he did a
Speaker 1: fantastic job, by the way, with a tricky part. I
Speaker 1: think you know it's it's can be very cringe e
Speaker 1: if someone is playing a handicapped person and doing it
Speaker 1: in an awkward or disrespectful way. I remember thinking at
Speaker 1: the time, this is tricky. You want to do justice
Speaker 1: to someone who's mentally handicapped. But also this guy has jokes,
Speaker 1: um and uh. And I remember thinking, even at the
Speaker 1: time and even watching it now, that he did a
Speaker 1: really really good job. Anythink, yeah, that is from I
Speaker 1: do remember that it was some some real life story.
Speaker 1: Do you remember. Yeah, So don't sit too far away
Speaker 1: from your mic though, Darling. Sorry. Um. Bill was married
Speaker 1: before and his When he went to meet his new
Speaker 1: wife's family, his new wife had an older brother who
Speaker 1: had special needs and his name was Bill, and he
Speaker 1: was so bummed that Bill was coming in and that
Speaker 1: there were two Bills. He didn't want to talk to Bill.
Speaker 1: It was the whole thing. And Bill said to him,
Speaker 1: how about you'll be Bill number one because you're the main,
Speaker 1: and I'll just be Bill number two. And Bill said,
Speaker 1: which was great, he thought he was the hero. Was fabulous,
Speaker 1: he goes, But then from then on, every eight seconds,
Speaker 1: hey number one, and Bill would say hey, Hey number two.
Speaker 1: Eventually it's like, hey, number two, but it's so sweet.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you get but at the end
Speaker 1: when you make up with him, it's so sweet when
Speaker 1: you go in, it's very sweet. And and and again
Speaker 1: I think he did. I would be I would want
Speaker 1: to do that part because I were, I would just
Speaker 1: be in my head that I wouldn't do it justice.
Speaker 1: And I thought that Eric. Eric did a great job.
Speaker 1: Um At fifty eight seconds, a couple of things. Not
Speaker 1: only is there another janitor which you're in the background,
Speaker 1: which you not only that he's in a different color
Speaker 1: uniform he's with it's tan. And did you notice that
Speaker 1: he's sweeping the air? I did not notice that. Very often,
Speaker 1: for those of you don't know, when background performers are
Speaker 1: doing their thing, they don't want them to make any noise,
Speaker 1: which can be tricky if you if you're if you're
Speaker 1: tasked with did did you see this or did you
Speaker 1: get this from scrubs Wicky? No? I got I got
Speaker 1: some other good stuff from scrubs Wicky. But this, dude,
Speaker 1: if you stop, if everyone wants to appreciate this, at
Speaker 1: fifty eight seconds, this gentleman is sweeping the air. Maybe
Speaker 1: the air was dirty. But I didn't know. Uh, I
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on with that guy. He
Speaker 1: I don't know who put him in bait? Did you
Speaker 1: we we were if we know one thing, we know
Speaker 1: that the janitorial staff, where's Gray? I wonder how that happened.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they were like, we don't have we
Speaker 1: we don't have Neil today, and we need somebody in
Speaker 1: the background sweeping like who whose idea was it? Because
Speaker 1: Neil's always dressed up as the janitor in the show
Speaker 1: and you never and you never ever saw um, I
Speaker 1: don't remember ever seeing janitorial staff in the background that
Speaker 1: weren't Neil. Do you know? I don't know. Maybe I'm
Speaker 1: wrong and very interesting. That's a scrub that's a scrubs
Speaker 1: Wicky question. So Christa, we have a new thing now
Speaker 1: where you know, we do the ask Bill thing and
Speaker 1: Bill will audio tape him self answering the question. But
Speaker 1: now there's a guy who runs a scrubs Wicky fan
Speaker 1: page that just knows every single little bit of Scrubs trivia,
Speaker 1: and he's he's down with us asking him random trivia
Speaker 1: questions when we don't know them. I wonder if we'll
Speaker 1: ever get to stump him. We're gonna stop. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of our tasks. I wonder if we should
Speaker 1: we should think of what the sound effect is going
Speaker 1: to be. There should be like a siren or a bell,
Speaker 1: some sort of prize noise. If we stump scrubs wicky guy,
Speaker 1: how about then, Look Judy gives it one thirteen when
Speaker 1: a guy called her nurse Fajita. Yeah, Dy's look, he's
Speaker 1: so fucking funny. She's just just a slow turn like it.
Speaker 1: I will fucking kill you, but you go ahead the
Speaker 1: whole there's a whole runner on this show. I'll kill you.
Speaker 1: By the way, this delay is not that bad. We
Speaker 1: were on the view for this podcast and the delay.
Speaker 1: I worry we funked up because the delay was like
Speaker 1: a solid second and a half. And it's very hard
Speaker 1: to be funny and talk with people when there's a
Speaker 1: serious delay. We have a slight one on the zoom thing.
Speaker 1: But but we Donald and I did our best. But
Speaker 1: we were on the view. Everyone's going, well, no, no,
Speaker 1: well you go, I'm sorry. Well right, but Donald's mom
Speaker 1: finally watched. She doesn't listen to the podcast, but she doesn't.
Speaker 1: She was like your energy on the view. You guys,
Speaker 1: you guys interview very well. By the way, we finally
Speaker 1: got Donald's mom that we finally got surely to pay
Speaker 1: attention to us, and all we have to do is
Speaker 1: go on the view. Yeah all right. Um, what I
Speaker 1: was gonna say is that there's this sub there's this
Speaker 1: plot of this episode, which I'm sure is a very
Speaker 1: real thing for medical professionals when what happens when your
Speaker 1: patient is a fucking dick um and you still have
Speaker 1: to give them the same level of attention and affection
Speaker 1: and uh and and commitment and uh and j D
Speaker 1: and and Carla are both trying to to take care
Speaker 1: of this guy, but he's racist and he's a jerk
Speaker 1: and uh and j D is really they're both challenged
Speaker 1: with how do we do our best with a guy
Speaker 1: who's saying ship like Nurse Fajita. Yeah, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a tough one. You know, I hate racism, and I
Speaker 1: hate racists, and I hate biggots and I hate you know,
Speaker 1: I hate all of that. Ship To watch something like
Speaker 1: this and to still have to like it would suck
Speaker 1: to go to work and have somebody say things to
Speaker 1: me that made me that made me so angry that
Speaker 1: I wanted to explode. And I imagine for people that
Speaker 1: work in the hospital, whose jobs where all it is,
Speaker 1: your job is to take care of the patient and
Speaker 1: save lives, and you get that one person who is
Speaker 1: just you know, who's like this guy is, how do
Speaker 1: you how do you commit to doing your best at
Speaker 1: that moment in time for that person. I'm sure sometimes energy,
Speaker 1: I'm sure sometimes you have to bite your fist. My
Speaker 1: mom used to be a the the listen to this,
Speaker 1: the night nurse, the head night nurse on the mental
Speaker 1: health ward of a v A hospital in eastern New Jersey,
Speaker 1: and she had the most insane stories. Now, granted, these
Speaker 1: these these these men and women are are very mentally ill,
Speaker 1: some of them, and and it was always her job
Speaker 1: to not take it personally and to take it the
Speaker 1: breath and to give them the best care that she could.
Speaker 1: And my mom was an incredible, incredible nurse. But this
Speaker 1: story made me think of that that you can imagine
Speaker 1: some of the treatment she had to endure um and
Speaker 1: uh and and she had to always suck it up
Speaker 1: and and and let it just wash off her back.
Speaker 1: You're going to get extra good attention. If you're lovely
Speaker 1: as a patient, I would imagine, yeah, absolutely you are.
Speaker 1: I mean my father was a surgeon, so I know,
Speaker 1: but I mean, you just are going to get that
Speaker 1: extra attention. Why people aren't savvy enough My father was.
Speaker 1: When my father was dying, he was in the hospital
Speaker 1: and he used every technique he got. I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: he was the most you guys know, he's the loveliest.
Speaker 1: He was the loveliest, most charming guy. But he was
Speaker 1: also the biggest Scrubs fan in the world. So anyone
Speaker 1: who came in, whether it was the janitor cleaning the garbage,
Speaker 1: can't be like, hey, my sons, Zack Braf Scrubs. I
Speaker 1: must have signed a Scrubs headshot for every single per
Speaker 1: in the New Jersey healthcare system. Oh, Bill drops Scrubs
Speaker 1: pretty much instantaneously. You know I'm doing anything. You just
Speaker 1: had to get a root canal thing. He was talking
Speaker 1: about Scrubs. I was it all the time, Like, I
Speaker 1: use it all. I use it all the time whenever
Speaker 1: we have like when we take our kids into you know,
Speaker 1: urgent care or something like that, or the kids peed.
Speaker 1: Tristan does a lot of golf tournaments and stuff like
Speaker 1: that for charity. And I'm always using my scrubs just
Speaker 1: to and and and playing golf obviously too. But I
Speaker 1: love it that you're like you started as those he started.
Speaker 1: He started out to make sure his kids got good healthcare,
Speaker 1: and then it became to play golf. Well there's that.
Speaker 1: There's that too, but for for sure, man, like, I
Speaker 1: just know, I just know that you know you, especially
Speaker 1: in that profession, treat somebody like you want to be treated.
Speaker 1: It's like the same thing when you go to a restaurant.
Speaker 1: What asshole sits there and says, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna treat this waiter like shit and doesn't expect their
Speaker 1: food to get fucking spit on or something. I was
Speaker 1: a waiter and I and I never understood the people
Speaker 1: that were assholes because there are plenty of people that
Speaker 1: would fuck with your ship and do not. It's like,
Speaker 1: when I leave this area, I'm gonna go and tell
Speaker 1: all these people what a dick you are. So when
Speaker 1: so when watching the show and this guy's saying all
Speaker 1: these things, I'm like, this dude wants to die. He
Speaker 1: must want to die, or there's no way that you
Speaker 1: could be that insensitive go get me my fucking thing.
Speaker 1: Go do this for me. Shut the funk up you.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you do it. Yeah, nurse Fajita,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, come on, you're gonna get punched. Listen.
Speaker 1: How about Kelly Williams as Kristin Murphy sucking on her
Speaker 1: finger uh in a in a manner similar to Fallacio,
Speaker 1: in order to lure Johnny c over to her house.
Speaker 1: But I was watching, I gotta say, I don't like
Speaker 1: being I wouldn't want someone sucking their finger and then
Speaker 1: touching my face. I didn't work to turn you on, Crystal.
Speaker 1: It did smell like spit smell like what's crazy is
Speaker 1: that There's no way that was written. So I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how that came about. Like Kelly,
Speaker 1: she must have improv that. There's no way it's said
Speaker 1: in the script. And then she sucks her pointer finger
Speaker 1: as in a in a seductive manner and touches his nose.
Speaker 1: I really want to know how that came about. I
Speaker 1: don't know really resists that woman. She she comes on
Speaker 1: so strong. It says a lot of that's what she said,
Speaker 1: jokes and everything. It's like it's like a It's like
Speaker 1: a single man's wet dream right there. She's giving you
Speaker 1: all of this energy and he wants to go lift
Speaker 1: a dresser with Carla the way I had totally forgotten.
Speaker 1: I know he's talking about this. I had totally forgotten
Speaker 1: how fucking obsessed he is with Carla, and this episode
Speaker 1: like brought it to a new level. He's got this
Speaker 1: beautiful woman sucking on her finger telling him that she's
Speaker 1: coming over. And and and she said, she said to him,
Speaker 1: she said to him, you're gonna be he said, he said,
Speaker 1: you gotta slow down, and she said to him, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be saying that tonight. Dude. Anyone did anyone notice
Speaker 1: how adorable I look in this episode of Don't He
Speaker 1: doesn't He doesn't care about Kelly Williams. I love how
Speaker 1: Chris is like, guys it, yeah, guys, I don't want
Speaker 1: to I don't want to be say the obvious reason,
Speaker 1: right right, But Krista, this is before you come into
Speaker 1: the picture. But he knows that there's a possibility that
Speaker 1: I'm coming over. You texted him, ear you doing? And
Speaker 1: he is show let's go so but he so pe
Speaker 1: whipped that he's gonna help Judy, Carla move addresser and
Speaker 1: uh and and he's Porsche, by the way, which is
Speaker 1: not a very good card for moving a dresser. They're
Speaker 1: gonna strap it to the roof. Who would ever strap
Speaker 1: up dresser to the roof of their point? But somebody
Speaker 1: who's desperate for that for that anyway, go on, Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: our guest is here. We're so behind. We we're three
Speaker 1: minutes in and our guest is here. So we do
Speaker 1: a break and then we're gonna come back with more fun.
Speaker 1: Uh and we're gonna hear christ to talk about how
Speaker 1: she seduces men, including Johnny right back. We're bad kind
Speaker 1: what's that man? How you doing? How do you say
Speaker 1: your name? Oh? It's just Austin. It's awesome. It's set
Speaker 1: something different on your screen five seconds ago. Dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's um, that's because I'm usually using the play d
Speaker 1: n D, so it's my DND name is becoming a
Speaker 1: running theme on this podcast for getting Donald. You're not
Speaker 1: going to go off on some crazy long dice tan. No,
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 1: We don't you steal Donald's opra voice, but introduce Austin
Speaker 1: to us. Hey, guys, we've got Austin in the house.
Speaker 1: Big fan. Austin. You want to tell the guys a
Speaker 1: little bit about why you're a fan of Scrubs. Oh, yes, sure,
Speaker 1: So I got into Scrubs when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I'm only like twenty nine was one. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're allowed to say twenty nine and only in the
Speaker 1: same sense I think only it's sort of done at
Speaker 1: twenty Yeah, only five, and I'm just sorry, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's super chill um. But my mom was a big
Speaker 1: fan of the show. My mom was into a bunch
Speaker 1: of the doctor shows. So I just watched it all
Speaker 1: the time with my mom and I got really into it,
Speaker 1: kept watching it forever. Great, you got your headset on.
Speaker 1: You a gamer too, I am. I'm a gamer and
Speaker 1: I like streaming junk. So I got these like big,
Speaker 1: big big, they are big. And what do you play?
Speaker 1: What do you what do you stream and or play
Speaker 1: the most? Because Donald's a gamer and uh or e
Speaker 1: c us TV before you had so many kids to
Speaker 1: deal with kids, But what do you play with? Donald
Speaker 1: will probably know what it is? Uh the game? So
Speaker 1: I mean right now, when I played the most of them,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about animal crossing, Christie, your kids
Speaker 1: probably playing on crossing. I don't know from video games. Okay,
Speaker 1: but um, what can you donald? Do you know animal crossing?
Speaker 1: I have no idea what, Austin, can you tell us
Speaker 1: what what the basic idea of animal crossing is? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the basically of animal crossing is you're a human
Speaker 1: and you have a bunch of anthropomorphic animal friends and
Speaker 1: you all live on this this game it's an island.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a town. They test you, the human of
Speaker 1: like making the town nice, and that's kind of it.
Speaker 1: You just you design this like town to look how
Speaker 1: you want, and you just like invite friends. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like it's like the Sims, but you can invite can't
Speaker 1: you go visit people and really talk to strangers. You
Speaker 1: can if you want to. You can invite friends over.
Speaker 1: You can go to other people's islands. It's it's really
Speaker 1: like it's a lot like the Sims, but like if
Speaker 1: you wanted to let like a six year old play
Speaker 1: the Sims unsupervised, Like animal crossing is pretty safe. Bet
Speaker 1: they can't get into too much like weirdness. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember when my sim died. I got really upset an
Speaker 1: animal crossing things. Yeah, see, you you can kill your SIM.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are were killed the sim.
Speaker 1: I've never killed. I've never killed. Did they build the
Speaker 1: graveyard in the backyard. That's what the graveyards of for,
Speaker 1: That's what the graveyards of. Joel, you're smiling. Have you
Speaker 1: ever killed a sim? Yeah? Actually, instead of getting animal crossings,
Speaker 1: my brothers and I have been obsessively playing SIMS four
Speaker 1: and he built a basement that they could not get
Speaker 1: out of the basement. It was great, so I thought
Speaker 1: I was I was shocked. I was like, you can
Speaker 1: kill a sim. Yeah, you can kill your sim. Don't
Speaker 1: walk him in the basement. Austin, where are you? Where
Speaker 1: you calling from? Men? I am in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
Speaker 1: Michigan in the house right on, Austin. Do you have
Speaker 1: a question for the legendary Donald Phazon or Krista Miller
Speaker 1: or you can ask me to I do have a
Speaker 1: question for Zach and Donald. I was just curious, like, um,
Speaker 1: what y'all missed the most about not being on scrubs anymore,
Speaker 1: Like not being on a project together. That's like in
Speaker 1: person filming all the time. This when you're hearing Austin.
Speaker 1: It's the easiest question to answer, and it's this. It's
Speaker 1: like if you just you weren't on before, but just
Speaker 1: sitting around with Krista and Donald and cracking up, that's
Speaker 1: what we would do every day, and just so happened
Speaker 1: that we'd also be making a TV show. Um, but
Speaker 1: we were just like it was a group of friends,
Speaker 1: not just the cast, but the crew and the writers.
Speaker 1: And I don't know they'll ever be lucky enough to
Speaker 1: have a job where the assignment is to go and
Speaker 1: laugh your ass off all day. Yeah, we really I
Speaker 1: really missed that. It was like a natural drug. It
Speaker 1: was like an all natural drug that has gone from
Speaker 1: my life. I mean, just cracking up five days a week.
Speaker 1: And and because because we get the opportunity to do
Speaker 1: this podcast, we get to relive it all again, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's really awesome. We were
Speaker 1: before you came on awesome. We were talking to Krista
Speaker 1: about things that had nothing to do with the show,
Speaker 1: and we're just pretty much catching up. Even though I've
Speaker 1: talked to we talked to Krista like recently, we're still on,
Speaker 1: you know, now that we have mics in our face.
Speaker 1: We're like, let's let's just let's talk some more. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about some great times we had. So don't you
Speaker 1: miss that? Krista giggling. I could do this podcast every day,
Speaker 1: any of you guys. Christ is the first guest in
Speaker 1: Fake Doctor's Real Friends history that's been was booked twice before.
Speaker 1: She she's gonna she and Bill Lawrence are going to
Speaker 1: be on the finale of season one together, and I
Speaker 1: predict mayhem. I hope that Bill asked for a stop
Speaker 1: hug during the show. Oh he will. You know, you
Speaker 1: know what it was is that Scrubs. Also, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I worked on a job before where I
Speaker 1: mean we were truly friends and truly friends. You're all
Speaker 1: in this hospital and and you're not seeing any other people,
Speaker 1: so you're in it. You're doing this funny work, which
Speaker 1: you know when you're doing it is really funny, right,
Speaker 1: and and all the people around are funny. All the
Speaker 1: writers were talented, all the actors are talented, and you
Speaker 1: could go and be stupid if it didn't work out,
Speaker 1: that was fine because everyone was doing it. And I
Speaker 1: just felt like my um work got so much better
Speaker 1: every time I would work on that show because everyone
Speaker 1: would elevate you. You know, there wasn't like the week
Speaker 1: link that you didn't you know, want to be with,
Speaker 1: and it was it was such a special time. We
Speaker 1: would we would finish the show and then hang out
Speaker 1: on weekends. Like, No, when does that ever happen again?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean maybe if you're on location
Speaker 1: somewhere with someone, but but yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was just a it was just a once in
Speaker 1: a lifetime I hope it's not a once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime experience. I hope I get to experience something especially again.
Speaker 1: But I just can't imagine that I'll ever have such
Speaker 1: a group as we did. Yeah, we were very lucky,
Speaker 1: and the tone was of like camaraderie and support if
Speaker 1: anyone did something, don't you know what it was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't the person there that wanted to have all the
Speaker 1: jokes or was trying to steal focus or doing Everyone
Speaker 1: was happy for everyone else to be funny. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you got a sense like this is this person's time
Speaker 1: to shine, Like don't get in their way, let them,
Speaker 1: let them crush it. And we were like rooting each other.
Speaker 1: One got another question, my friend, I do have another question.
Speaker 1: This one's from my mom, uh, because like, since you
Speaker 1: got me into the show, so when I found out
Speaker 1: because a mom's boy is Donald and I are my mom.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to know what was everybody's favorite uh episode
Speaker 1: of film, Christy, you want to go first as our
Speaker 1: special guest. UM favorite episode? Um, I loved that scene
Speaker 1: that I tell everyone off and ruin everybody's life and
Speaker 1: everybody's death a big monologue, just destroy everybody. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then I tell her. But I also will say this
Speaker 1: the moment that I wish I could do over, as
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I took a good advantage of
Speaker 1: being able to have a proper makeout session with Zach Brath.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know what I mean, Like I
Speaker 1: just just got really uncomfortable. I just feel like I
Speaker 1: didn't investigate that as thoroughly as I wanted to. By
Speaker 1: the way she says the ship in front of Bill.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine, dear listeners, imagine how Alford it is
Speaker 1: when she says the ship in front of Bill, and
Speaker 1: she She'll be We'll be standing there. It will be
Speaker 1: like a dinner and she'll be like, you know, Bill,
Speaker 1: I just I wish I just didn't save her the
Speaker 1: time to make scenes. I didn't save her. I didn't
Speaker 1: say one more take. I didn't get into it. I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know, I should have said one more take and
Speaker 1: Bill and Bill and Bills just standing and just Bills
Speaker 1: just standing there shaking his head, and I'm like, just
Speaker 1: to shut the fun. And I was like, Zach was
Speaker 1: a little nervous. Maybe we could revisit it now. Oh,
Speaker 1: I got it so awkward right now? Could you guys
Speaker 1: get off? Um my Donald, do you want to go?
Speaker 1: I know what my favorite episode to shoot with the
Speaker 1: musical episode. I really enjoyed that there are a bunch
Speaker 1: of things that I got to do on this show
Speaker 1: that we're bucket list type things like I wanted. I've
Speaker 1: always wanted to be in a Star Wars and I
Speaker 1: got to do that very early on in this show.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite actors in the Whole Wide World
Speaker 1: is well, I should say characters in the Whole Wide
Speaker 1: World are characters that Harrison Ford has played, and Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones was one of them, and I got the opportunity
Speaker 1: to do that as well. But I really, most most
Speaker 1: of all, I enjoyed doing the musical episode and having
Speaker 1: to dance and sing. You know, I front like I
Speaker 1: tell people ask me, are you a fan of musical theater?
Speaker 1: And I'll lie and I'll say to them, absolutely not,
Speaker 1: I hate musical theater. You don't say that anymore. I
Speaker 1: still say that to people. I'll be like, why why
Speaker 1: I I say that a lot. Yes, I will get
Speaker 1: in his car without his kids and play Frozen. I
Speaker 1: will do I would do that, not not only Frozen.
Speaker 1: I'll play like I'll play I play a MS in
Speaker 1: the car. I play five guys named Mo in the
Speaker 1: car like I. I go all in. But UM, I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed dancing and singing and uh with with with
Speaker 1: these guys. It was a lot of fun. My favorite
Speaker 1: episode is the one we've mentioned before. It was my
Speaker 1: first episode directing UM, and it was one of the
Speaker 1: most epic episodes we've ever shot because Bill wanted to
Speaker 1: give me something that was quite literally impossible to execute
Speaker 1: in five days. UM. But I was living my dream.
Speaker 1: I was working on the show that I was so
Speaker 1: proud of and excited about. UM. The episode was huge.
Speaker 1: It's the one where Donald and I go on a
Speaker 1: quest over the course of one night to find Heather
Speaker 1: Graham's character Molly to give her the permission slip um
Speaker 1: from Sarah that says I'm allowed to have sex with her.
Speaker 1: And Johnny's storyline is that he has to go to
Speaker 1: a ride with um in an ambulance as part of
Speaker 1: his training, and Molly Shannon was the guest star. And
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just really it turned out really great.
Speaker 1: And um, as Donald reminded me at some point, said,
Speaker 1: do you say it? I was treated by a coyote, Donald,
Speaker 1: I was treated by a Where have you been? I
Speaker 1: was treated by a coyote. I go, I go, I go,
Speaker 1: I go to How the hell did you get up there?
Speaker 1: I was treated by a ky I love him when
Speaker 1: Donald does his wooden I was treated. I was treat
Speaker 1: So that was a really great episode and I just
Speaker 1: felt really proud of it and I pulled it off
Speaker 1: and it was one of those things where, um, it's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite episodes. Will give you one more
Speaker 1: question if you haven't ye, well, that was just you.
Speaker 1: We didn't tell the guy he was gonna have three daughters. Second, um,
Speaker 1: how are people staying sane in this pandemic? You know,
Speaker 1: this is an escape for us to be honest with
Speaker 1: you this, if I didn't have this outlet, you know.
Speaker 1: My wife said to me actually this morning, she was like,
Speaker 1: you don't understand, man. You have an outlet. You get
Speaker 1: to talk to your best friend, and you get to
Speaker 1: talk to the people that you worked with for over
Speaker 1: ten you know, for ten years. You get to talk
Speaker 1: to them once or twice a week. I don't have
Speaker 1: an outlet like that. So she's going insane right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And and she's with the
Speaker 1: kids while I'm doing this right now. But this is
Speaker 1: an escape for me, and I wish I could bring
Speaker 1: my wife up in here so she could enjoy this too,
Speaker 1: because she would have such a great time. She would
Speaker 1: come on one day. I just realized she would love
Speaker 1: to come on hilarious, and she would also embarrassed the
Speaker 1: ship out of me too, talking about me, uh, talking
Speaker 1: about things that we're gonna have to do. We should
Speaker 1: one day, like, if we keep doing this, we should
Speaker 1: do like the significant others guests, right, and how they
Speaker 1: dealt with We'll test it out with Bill and Christa
Speaker 1: on the on the season one finale and see how
Speaker 1: it comes. But aw, that's how me too, Me too,
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. Man. I look so forward to
Speaker 1: this and especially seeing the reaction to it and people
Speaker 1: loving it so much. It's just it's mind boggling to us.
Speaker 1: And so it is. It's like therapy. We come here
Speaker 1: and we laugh and and and giggle and that stupid
Speaker 1: and I'm really loving it, saying, how are you staying?
Speaker 1: Seeing over there? Um, I've been writing with someone. I've been, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, all my kids are here. It's you know,
Speaker 1: in l A. We have a good set up. You know,
Speaker 1: we have croquet in the backyard. We play croquet every afternoon. Um.
Speaker 1: We had a very rousing game of code names last night,
Speaker 1: which was very fun. Um, you know, I'm happy just
Speaker 1: by the way we as we started the show, Austin,
Speaker 1: you weren't here. But there are certain people that are
Speaker 1: so happy, you know that they don't that the world
Speaker 1: has given them permission to not have to leave their house.
Speaker 1: And Chris is one of those. She's like, oh, no one,
Speaker 1: no one gets to tell me that I have to
Speaker 1: go do things. I'm fine, thank you, Yeah, I'm totally fine.
Speaker 1: What about you, Austin, how are you staying? Saying, you
Speaker 1: know a lot of video games a lot of I
Speaker 1: picked up like a bunch of extra tabletop gaming besides
Speaker 1: D and D since this all started. Um, what's one
Speaker 1: you can recommend to our listeners? But that's not too
Speaker 1: hard because I know some of these tabletop games are
Speaker 1: very complicated, like D and D. But if someone, if
Speaker 1: someone who's listening, including myself, wanted to kind of get
Speaker 1: into the world of tabletop gaming. What what else one
Speaker 1: or two that you recommend? Uh? One, I really commended
Speaker 1: bubble Gum Shoe. I'm running that down. It is kids
Speaker 1: can play it. You play as a teenage detective. Um,
Speaker 1: so you're a team detective and the rules are pretty simple.
Speaker 1: The character sheet I have mine right here, it's like
Speaker 1: a single page. Um, it's not a bunch of complex rules.
Speaker 1: You have to remember a bunch of math you gotta do. Um.
Speaker 1: So there's there's that one. What about another one, bubble
Speaker 1: gums who? I wrote that down. Another one is uh no,
Speaker 1: thank you evil, Thank you evil. Can my kids play
Speaker 1: that too? Your kids can play that one too. It
Speaker 1: is in all ages tabletop RPG game that scales the
Speaker 1: rules depending on how old the kid is. And you
Speaker 1: should be writing this down because Donald could have like
Speaker 1: forty players at his house. Man, alright, dost not that
Speaker 1: many of us. Listen, Casey got pregnant, like while we
Speaker 1: were on this podcast. Um, what about Settlers of Catan?
Speaker 1: I hear about that. It feels like that's the most
Speaker 1: famous for us non board game people. That's the most
Speaker 1: famous one you hear about. Do you like that one?
Speaker 1: I don't like Settlers of Catan. Nothing against the artists
Speaker 1: who worked on it or the team made. Sorry I'm
Speaker 1: sarady interrupt, but both of our producers. Yeah, I want
Speaker 1: you to know that both of our producers sometimes have
Speaker 1: their cameras off. They both flipped their cameras on to
Speaker 1: show how fucking living it's coming back, Dan, you gotta
Speaker 1: come back and walked away. Joel almost fell off her chair. Uh, Dan,
Speaker 1: I'm just a humble fan. I mean, I love Settlers.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, No, it's fine. I just want you
Speaker 1: to know you gave both of our producers a heart attack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of Settlers. Of my god,
Speaker 1: saying against I know now that the show Joel just
Speaker 1: Joel just left the room. She had to go off.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, not that big on Settlers are Well listen,
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you. I'm here to tell you everyone.
Speaker 1: I don't know sellers we can, but I can tell
Speaker 1: you that are very strong opinions on both sides of
Speaker 1: loving or hating Austin. We gotta go because we've already
Speaker 1: run so long. Thank you so much for coming, thanks
Speaker 1: for being a fan, and uh and uh and and
Speaker 1: thanks for the recommendations on the games. Yeah, thanks so
Speaker 1: much for having me. Do you want to mention your
Speaker 1: Twitch stream? Oh yeah, I stream with Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Party RPG every Saturday at eight pm is some standard
Speaker 1: time where you can watch me play Bubble Gum Shoe. Well,
Speaker 1: there you go, guys. I think Kristin will be definitely
Speaker 1: tuning in and and uh no, but I'd love to

Speaker 1: to watch you and Joel and Dan play Settlers with
Speaker 1: Catan uh and have them have them change your mind
Speaker 1: on Thank you everybody. I'll have a lovely day. Um wow,
Speaker 1: I've now we've been doing this for eight seen episodes.
Speaker 1: I've never seen Joel or Dan get that worked up
Speaker 1: about anything. They got very worked up just now. Joel,
Speaker 1: it gets worked up when we talk Star Wars. I know,
Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you that was the best adver
Speaker 1: sailors in Good Tan I've ever seen ever in the
Speaker 1: history I know. But we're going to get them as
Speaker 1: an advertiser now because our producers flipped out, all right
Speaker 1: when the janitor says, this stethoscope is mine, and then
Speaker 1: he says into the stetoscope, it's getting hot, Red Bird
Speaker 1: pull me out. That ship was funny. I laughed. I
Speaker 1: left at that too. That's clearly a Neil improv because
Speaker 1: there's no way that was written into this group. I
Speaker 1: like that, I do. I did love the c story
Speaker 1: because I of Donald and Sarah, of finding out about
Speaker 1: Ken Jenkins musical past. But I do love Donald and
Speaker 1: Sarah together. The chemistry with the two of them is
Speaker 1: very unique, I wrote, I wrote at the end of this,
Speaker 1: I wrote, I really enjoyed watching Sarah and I together. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we didn't get to do a lot. I don't
Speaker 1: recall us doing a lot together while making the show.
Speaker 1: So going back and seeing this, it was like, holy
Speaker 1: sh it, we had a good little, uh dynamic duo
Speaker 1: thing going. Yeah. And it's a it's a it's kind
Speaker 1: of an unusual chemistry. It's it's definitely different in a way,
Speaker 1: like you're both kind of silly, Like there's some bumbling
Speaker 1: element to it that's very funny, Like you have a
Speaker 1: line reading when you're you're still holding onto her finger
Speaker 1: because she swore to you that she wasn't going to
Speaker 1: do and then a second she sees ken she's She says,
Speaker 1: I heard you did the music and you went you
Speaker 1: you swore. I didn't notice that they were still We're
Speaker 1: still holding each other's and then I pulled away, you
Speaker 1: swore Like. I enjoyed that a lot. Going back in
Speaker 1: looking at this, who knew Kim Jenkins was that good
Speaker 1: of a guitar player, Dude. I knew he had a
Speaker 1: great voice. I forgot that he could play the guitar
Speaker 1: like that. Dude. It sounded like he was he was
Speaker 1: blues and out man, he was going hard. Was that
Speaker 1: actually him playing? Yeah? Yeah? Oh my gosh, um, you
Speaker 1: know it's funny. Most of the cast um, with the
Speaker 1: exception of Sarah when we did the musical, could really
Speaker 1: sing yeah, had had some form of musical talent. Although
Speaker 1: Sarah does dance in this episode, Sarah can dancer dance
Speaker 1: in this episode is very adorable. I told her I
Speaker 1: told you so dance. Yeah, I told you so, but
Speaker 1: I remember that went. That went a lot further, but
Speaker 1: they cut it for the episode, Like she gets into
Speaker 1: the full splits when uh and and when we would
Speaker 1: play the the gag reel, and they let that thing
Speaker 1: go At one point she got all the way down
Speaker 1: into a full split. But I guess for the show
Speaker 1: they felt it was going. So if you're into did
Speaker 1: you guys can watch the Blooper slash gag reel of
Speaker 1: season one and there's probably video of Sarah doing extending
Speaker 1: that dance for a long I told you so, I
Speaker 1: told all the way down to the split. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: so adorable when she dances. She's so adorable in general.
Speaker 1: I know I miss her, I really, you know. She
Speaker 1: We don't get to see Sarah that much because she's
Speaker 1: often in Canada. But when when the world's not closed down,
Speaker 1: you know, we see Krista and Bill and obviously um
Speaker 1: Donald and I see each other. We don't ever see
Speaker 1: Chalky as we call her. Yeah, I do miss her.
Speaker 1: You know what? You know what I missed this year
Speaker 1: was the Easter. Yeah, often has a beautiful Easter party
Speaker 1: with bunnies with bunnies, bunnies, everyone. Everyone was sad, and
Speaker 1: I thought we would do it this summer, like, but
Speaker 1: we can't. So we're just gonna have to wait till
Speaker 1: next year. In the Easter book, this year is amazing
Speaker 1: and I have I was just thinking as I was
Speaker 1: talking to you, guys, I have to send you some
Speaker 1: of the pictures because I have pictures of you and
Speaker 1: Zach and Uh that are so sweet, like you just
Speaker 1: have your arms right, like really sweet pictures. I love
Speaker 1: that party you have, and every year that I'm going,
Speaker 1: I'm like a little kid because I'm like, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see everyone, but then in my head, I'm like, bunnies.
Speaker 1: My kids love that party so much. They can't you know.
Speaker 1: There's the Easter egg hunt. There's you know, there there
Speaker 1: are bunnies, there are goats, there are a bunch of
Speaker 1: different animals, baskets. Oh my gosh. They for the love
Speaker 1: and for the adults alcohol. But also everyone knows each other.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a great group. Ross comes. It's just
Speaker 1: all good. You guys throw a really good party. I
Speaker 1: think when the world opens up, you should throw a bash. Okay,
Speaker 1: Bill um So, Krista Miller booty call is an it's
Speaker 1: a great entrance. Christa. You walk, you walk right in.
Speaker 1: You're like, you don't even knock on the door. You're like,
Speaker 1: let's do the Hey, honey, honey, I'm home. That's what
Speaker 1: she says, Honey, I'm home. She goes right to the
Speaker 1: bar starts pouring herself a drink, and he says something stupid.
Speaker 1: She's like, if you're gonna talk like that, I need
Speaker 1: to pour me a bigger drink. Yeah, so boring. You know,
Speaker 1: we never learned about Jordan's other love interests. I mean,
Speaker 1: clearly Jordan's was. I'm sure not solely using Dr Cox
Speaker 1: as a booty call, or maybe she was. I don't know,
Speaker 1: what do you I don't think so no, no, do
Speaker 1: you think, well we saw you you were one of
Speaker 1: the booty calls? No, I was never your booty call.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's true. You are sorry, Sorry sorry I was?
Speaker 1: I was. I was. Um. Yeah, So I think she's
Speaker 1: having her way with lots of men, probably right, but
Speaker 1: she's thinking the back of her mind. Did Jordan's thinking
Speaker 1: the back of her mind that she was going to
Speaker 1: get back with Cox eventually? Uh? I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know Um, it's always crazy people that get divorced and
Speaker 1: then get remarried. That's such a also. And Johnny C
Speaker 1: also had like four or five vasectomyse and then reversed
Speaker 1: vasectomes to for you though, yeah for me, Yeah, can
Speaker 1: you really reverse the vasectomy with I mean you can write.
Speaker 1: That's what the doctor said when he did mind. He
Speaker 1: told me, don't worry, we can reverse this ship and really,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and anytime and when Casey starts getting itchy again,
Speaker 1: we might have to do it. That's all I know.
Speaker 1: Now we're not gonna have no more, can't you crazy?
Speaker 1: It's a shame that you sniffed yourself. Donald, You make
Speaker 1: such beautiful children. They're so beautiful. Thank you very very much.
Speaker 1: And I know it's expensive, but you know, next time
Speaker 1: you get some big gass job, you're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: I need to plant my seed. Donald. How many kiss
Speaker 1: you have? It's up there now? I mean I see
Speaker 1: like twelve of them at Easter, which makes me happy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the other and then the other the other
Speaker 1: thirties something tell us about the holy son of a cracker,
Speaker 1: because that that that I remember when I had to
Speaker 1: say that, And you know who gave me. That was
Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence. Bill Lawrence. Yeah, there's no way, Bill Road,
Speaker 1: holy son of a cracker. Bill Lawrence on set came
Speaker 1: to me and said, say, holy son of a cracker.
Speaker 1: I was like, what say, holy son of a cracker?
Speaker 1: George Jefferson used to say cracker all the time. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's a rock you know. Okay, So look, for those
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, I think cracker doesn't mean
Speaker 1: anything when somebody says the cracker is somebody of the
Speaker 1: opposite race who cracks a whip on black people. That's
Speaker 1: where cracker comes from. You and and and you are
Speaker 1: below other white people because all you are is a
Speaker 1: whip cracker. I see. So that's what you're calling j D.
Speaker 1: J D is called just checking that calling your best friend.
Speaker 1: I'm just putting it out there. So when Bill said that,
Speaker 1: I was like, really he was like saying. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: but don't you think isn't it the fun the most
Speaker 1: fun part in Scrubs When Bill would you'd be doing
Speaker 1: a joke and Bill whisper something in your ear and
Speaker 1: he'd say, don't say anything. So you haven't told anyone
Speaker 1: that you're going to change the queue line for them,
Speaker 1: and then you say something like son of a Cracker
Speaker 1: and then everyone laughs. It's the it's the best, it's
Speaker 1: the best feeling. You know. Who would never laugh though,
Speaker 1: is fucking Neil Flynn. You couldn't never say anything where
Speaker 1: he'd be like, I didn't think that was funny. You
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. He would always be right away
Speaker 1: ready to go again. Krista, was it Stuff or Maxim
Speaker 1: Magazine that you were on the cover of. I was
Speaker 1: the first Maxim magazine cover girl. Okay, that is awesome.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Bill said. He used to walk around town
Speaker 1: holding the magazine talking about this is my my girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Did have you seen a new Maximus my girlfriend? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That was that was really fun and cool. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: holy son of a Cracker. And I remember also that
Speaker 1: day you were there. We were doing the scene and
Speaker 1: we tried to convince Lawrence Trilling to who directed this episode,
Speaker 1: to put lotion on the side of the bed. So
Speaker 1: when Turk rolls over and says to Carla, hey, so
Speaker 1: you know, since we're up, and she goes no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Instead of him going back to sleep, we tried to
Speaker 1: make it so that I rolled over and then squeezed
Speaker 1: lotion into somebody. Shot that. We definitely shot that. We
Speaker 1: shot that. Yeah, we definitely in that. Didn't want that
Speaker 1: was hilarious. That was one of those things where he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I showed it to Kristin and
Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, Christa didn't like him masturbation. Um
Speaker 1: so speaking of that tree, when I come in and
Speaker 1: my my parents are playing wheelbarrel and that's that's me,
Speaker 1: the voice of my own father, like, go back to bed.
Speaker 1: I'm fixing mommy's back. Which is very interesting because the
Speaker 1: very next episode, John Ritter, Yes, John Ritter, it's such
Speaker 1: a shame that we can't. I didn't even know who
Speaker 1: to have on. I actually thought about having his son on,
Speaker 1: but then I thought, I don't know if Jason even
Speaker 1: watched an episode of Scrubs, but we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: turn that episode of into just a a beautiful memorial
Speaker 1: Christa in bed with Johnny C. He's ripped Christo. So
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have a scene partner, at least you
Speaker 1: get the very muscular Johnny C. Yes, and I imagine
Speaker 1: this was one of those days where you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: if you put all of that fucking grease on your body.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill you. He would also do lots of
Speaker 1: push ups right. Yes, you're One secret for you young
Speaker 1: actors out there is that if you do lots of
Speaker 1: pushups right before you're seen, at least makes you look
Speaker 1: a little bit more ripped. But not that Johnny. You
Speaker 1: needed to help. He's pretty damn ripped. But Johnny would
Speaker 1: always bang out a whole bunch of push ups. But
Speaker 1: I did notice that this is one of those episodes
Speaker 1: where the Chrisco was light. It was light, it was
Speaker 1: light light. You guys will have to have me on
Speaker 1: when you when we when you get far way farther
Speaker 1: down in seasons. What I had to come in after
Speaker 1: giving birth to Will two weeks after giving birth to
Speaker 1: Will and roll slide around with just looped up another show.
Speaker 1: So he would just he would make his muscles glisten.
Speaker 1: Or no, I think it's supposed to be post sex.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be sweaty, right, his muscles glisten? Dude?
Speaker 1: All right? Well, he a man likes to listen. If
Speaker 1: you have those pectoralis majors, shine them up. Let's see it. Donald,
Speaker 1: I laughed when you said have you guys ever stopped
Speaker 1: with think that maybe Bunny is just a real bunny.
Speaker 1: So dumb. That was like, yeah, he's so dumb. Watching that,
Speaker 1: I was like, what, So, Christia, do you think that
Speaker 1: she was jealous? But then was the last thing in
Speaker 1: the world she was gonna do is let him think
Speaker 1: that she was jealous? Of course, Well, this is my
Speaker 1: motto in life. Also, so that was sort of method acting. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was, Um, that's so funny. And also speaking of
Speaker 1: very Christa things, when you're in the cafeteria at six
Speaker 1: nine and they get into fight and you go, I
Speaker 1: should leave, and then when Christie, when Christie here's a
Speaker 1: been good good bit of gossips off and like kiss
Speaker 1: her fingers like like like she's licking off the juice.
Speaker 1: She'll do this space John, when you put your and
Speaker 1: I literally wrote down, I literally wrote out of my
Speaker 1: notes that is so Cristal being like I should leave,
Speaker 1: but not leaving, not leaving at all all. Right, how
Speaker 1: did they do the sweat thing on you? Dude? There
Speaker 1: was like a little hidden hose, tiny little hose in
Speaker 1: my hairline, and uh, I think that's how it was done.
Speaker 1: And then it just drips it open it up and
Speaker 1: that was crazy. That was well done. Also when you
Speaker 1: got on the elevator. This is an argument in Bill's
Speaker 1: favor where maybe the janitor is in j D's mind,
Speaker 1: because I think this is the this is the one
Speaker 1: time where he gets, hey, hey, killer, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: After you're very very uh destruct because you feel like
Speaker 1: you didn't do enough for the patient who just died,
Speaker 1: and you walk onto the elevator and the janitor is
Speaker 1: there and he's like, hey killer, and and it sent
Speaker 1: you even right, and that that too, and then you
Speaker 1: walk out see you later, killer, That's true. Christa makes
Speaker 1: a good point. How would he even know that I
Speaker 1: lost the patient? He just knows everything. He's all knowing
Speaker 1: that channel. He's yeah, but um, but we've already proven
Speaker 1: that time and time again. Donald. I'm just saying, this
Speaker 1: is one of those moments where this is one of
Speaker 1: those moments where Bill doesn't even have defenses anymore. He
Speaker 1: just yells five six seven eight, right, Christie. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know this, because I don't know how
Speaker 1: much you're listening to this, but Bill five six seven
Speaker 1: eight to start our theme song has become a fan
Speaker 1: favorite joke on my Instagram every other comments just five
Speaker 1: seven eight, which is a shout out to your husband.
Speaker 1: He wanted me to do that today and I said, no,
Speaker 1: we made a rule. We made a rule. Um, you're
Speaker 1: allowed to count in. I think you should count in
Speaker 1: when we're done to the show. We we decided in
Speaker 1: the world of the podcast, Bill is the only one,
Speaker 1: because he's the creator of the show, with the power
Speaker 1: to start the theme song without our permission, right, Donald, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the only one. Like I don't even get the
Speaker 1: power to do that unless it's for the show, and
Speaker 1: and yes, if it's not in the Yeah, Bill, Bill
Speaker 1: has magical powers. You can always start. He's the only
Speaker 1: one that can do that. That didn't look like a
Speaker 1: firing squad either, but that joke was hilarious as fuck.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm okay. And then they catch them the firing squad.
Speaker 1: You know, they're putting the blind photo. It looked like
Speaker 1: a comedy club, the spotlight on you and everything. And
Speaker 1: so when you go, i'm okay, that ship had me.
Speaker 1: I laughed so fucking hard at that, dude. That was
Speaker 1: I'm Okay, I need to backdrop was a mistake, because
Speaker 1: you're right, it looked like a comedy club. You need
Speaker 1: a different backdrop for the for the I don't know
Speaker 1: what the correct backdrop for firing squad is, but brick
Speaker 1: wall is not it. No, I don't think so or whatever.
Speaker 1: But I thought that was hilarious. So then Ken sings
Speaker 1: and it's very beautiful and and he's the song of
Speaker 1: the He's the song of the episode in this I
Speaker 1: don't know if that song is a is a made
Speaker 1: up song or this might be a good question for
Speaker 1: should we ask to have christa asked Bill? He's not
Speaker 1: gonna remember, He's just gonna say five six, seven eight,
Speaker 1: But should we We won't be fun of christ to
Speaker 1: asked Bill a question? Do you I mean I can
Speaker 1: intercom him in his office? Oh yeah, let's see if
Speaker 1: he'll answer in his gheto terror. Here we go, all right,
Speaker 1: let me see what is it called me? Scroll down
Speaker 1: my mansion, billiards, billiards, indoor pool, outdoor pool. We have
Speaker 1: a question for you. We're on the podcast, on the
Speaker 1: podcast right now. You're on the podcast. What the song
Speaker 1: that Ken Jenkins sings at the end of one eighteen.
Speaker 1: Is that a made up song? Or is that a song? Hard? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're taping you now, TuS glous Heart, it's um it
Speaker 1: was a made up song and we're just gooping around
Speaker 1: with it. And he helped us come up with it.
Speaker 1: He always us have been on his guitar and he's
Speaker 1: a Broadway thing. And uh, the second that I asked
Speaker 1: him um to do it, He's like, should be something
Speaker 1: like this and they went off. No matter what you do,
Speaker 1: matter keep giving him. How many chances can we give him?
Speaker 1: How many chances? You know what? I feel like, it's
Speaker 1: like Lucy and Peanuts with the football. I mean, how
