Speaker 1: Hey guys, this is Donald Fazon and Zach Braff. So
Speaker 1: this podcast we recorded it the same day after everyone
Speaker 1: found out George Floyd getting murdered. First of all, I
Speaker 1: do not necessarily know what to say to everyone out there. Truthfully,
Speaker 1: I wish everything and everyone could be happy right now,
Speaker 1: but that's definitely not what's going on in the world.
Speaker 1: For me. This is a time where I feel like
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wish that I could sit here
Speaker 1: and say we're making progress, but we want to make
Speaker 1: you laugh here. I will say this, I am very,
Speaker 1: very supportive of the people out there fighting the good
Speaker 1: fight that are protesting right now, and I stand with you.
Speaker 1: We also wanted to let you know that the next
Speaker 1: few podcasts were recorded before all of this has reached
Speaker 1: such a fever pitch, and we didn't want you to
Speaker 1: think for a second that we were being callous about
Speaker 1: that and not dialed into what's happening. So we just
Speaker 1: wanted to let you know the next few podcasts were
Speaker 1: recorded prior to things being as they are currently. That
Speaker 1: being said, I hope we can distract you from the
Speaker 1: madness that's going on right now for a just an
Speaker 1: hour and a half for just an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: Sit back and enjoy this with us. Here we go. So, Donald,
Speaker 1: you're five six minutes late. Well, well you know this
Speaker 1: is how how we do and how do it? Five
Speaker 1: minutes late? My wife hot boxed me. She took a
Speaker 1: shower right before the podcast, and the shower is connected
Speaker 1: to the closet, like got the shower itself, but the
Speaker 1: bathrooms connected to the closet, right So it's like two
Speaker 1: hundred degrees in here right now. Well, you're wearing an
Speaker 1: Amazon shirt. It feels like, well I had this one
Speaker 1: for the view today, man, which it looked great on
Speaker 1: the view. We were on the View today, Donald's look
Speaker 1: very handsome, and thank you very much. You changed your shirt?
Speaker 1: I did. I put on a night I didn't. I
Speaker 1: wanted to look good for for for the ladies, and
Speaker 1: I put on a nice Did you look very nice? Anyway?
Speaker 1: My wife hotbo to me. So it's like it's like
Speaker 1: the Amazon jungle up in here right now, man, okay,
Speaker 1: And I wanted to shang a tank too. Why don't
Speaker 1: you switch to a tank top? We could watch it
Speaker 1: happen live. Listen. Man, she's mad about something right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know I did wrong. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Sometimes you don't ever, you never know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes she's just mad, she's just mad. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I bet if you brainstorms, you could figure out what
Speaker 1: you may have done. And this moment right now, I
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. In other moments, I've been able
Speaker 1: to put it all together and be like, oh, that
Speaker 1: was I bet it's because of this. That's the worst.
Speaker 1: When you can't figure it out, You're like, what do
Speaker 1: I do? Dude, I have no idea. I've been good
Speaker 1: to the kids, I fed them, I've done all of
Speaker 1: that stuff. I just don't know. Well, listen, I think
Speaker 1: we were really good on the view. It was hard
Speaker 1: because there was a big delay yes and um and
Speaker 1: more so than normal zoom. It was like a few
Speaker 1: a second or two delays. So it's always tricky to
Speaker 1: be funny when when you're stepping all over each other. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say this. My mother, who does not listen
Speaker 1: to our podcast, watched the view. She watched she said
Speaker 1: we are great together. She was like, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something. She was like, you and Zach interview so
Speaker 1: well together. It's ridiculous. Oh, that's nice. Oh man, listen,
Speaker 1: we want to cheer you up. If you're frustrated with
Speaker 1: the universe and you're frustrated like Donald is, we're here
Speaker 1: to entertain you. We're here to take your mind off things.
Speaker 1: You might be on a hike, you might be walking
Speaker 1: your dog, you might be breastfeeding, you might be doing
Speaker 1: the dishes, you might be tugging one out. We are
Speaker 1: here to make you laugh. Donald. If you're I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say one, can I just say one thing before? Yes,
Speaker 1: say one thing? If you're tugging one out while listening
Speaker 1: to us, Yes, thank you. We would like you to finish.
Speaker 1: As as Donald counts down about show we made about
Speaker 1: a bunch of dots and nurses and stories. Never so
Speaker 1: get around here yet around here. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: the good people at I Heeart are going to approve that.
Speaker 1: But they don't give a shit about that. They're not
Speaker 1: even listening. They're not even listening. They don't care anymore,
Speaker 1: you know, Like when we first signed with iHeart, they
Speaker 1: were like, you know, you know, you guys can just
Speaker 1: do whatever you want and we'll give you notes and
Speaker 1: thoughts and take them leave them we haven't heard anything
Speaker 1: from them. I think we're doing well enough that they
Speaker 1: just let us do our thing. I love the people
Speaker 1: over at iHeart. Let I just put it out there.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it out there now wherever you're listening

Speaker 1: his He pretty much said, you guys can do whatever
Speaker 1: you want, and he's he's let us do our thing. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't promise a lot of at the
Speaker 1: first meeting we had with him, but he was definitely like,

Speaker 1: with your kids and your wife. I can't tour with
Speaker 1: my wife and kids after all of this, No you can,
Speaker 1: but they're in a separate bus. If you're gonna stop
Speaker 1: bringing a family with Joel and Dan and I are
Speaker 1: going to be partying in the party bus and you
Speaker 1: and your family can be in the family bus. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be on the party bus. I want to

Speaker 1: Scott Foley coming on the show. Yeah, we're hoping to
Speaker 1: get Neil Flynn. We're still working his dates out with him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We have a Shay Serrano who's an amazing writer who
Speaker 1: wrote a his own self published book about Scrubs and
Speaker 1: he's an amazing bestseller. And uh, he's the first you
Speaker 1: will be the first official Scrubs mega fan to be
Speaker 1: on the show because he's we have mega fans call in.
Speaker 1: So no, I'm saying as a guest, as a guest,
Speaker 1: no doubt. And then we're gonna get Brendan Frasier on

Speaker 1: will be hilarious. I just I hope they argue. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna argue. You know, they always go on Howard
Speaker 1: Sterning together and they bicker and tell dirty stories from
Speaker 1: their marriage, and it will be great Bill and Chris
Speaker 1: to have dirty stories. Oh yeah, I think there was
Speaker 1: a story where they had sex see in a bathroom
Speaker 1: at someone else's wedding. Oh my god, Bill and Christopher
Speaker 1: freaks like that. Yeah, And I hope they're not just
Speaker 1: sharing that naughty stuff for Howard Stern. I hope they're
Speaker 1: gonna They've better not come on here and be two PG.
Speaker 1: You know, people go on Howard and myself included, and
Speaker 1: you want to be like, oh, I'm gonna tell my
Speaker 1: most outrageous tales. Well, I hope they come on and
Speaker 1: talk about banging in the bathroom at someone's wedding. I
Speaker 1: can't get over that. Oh, my gosh. Also, for those
Speaker 1: who are tugging, you're welcome. You should be done tugging
Speaker 1: by now. Please, the show has started. You were supposed
Speaker 1: to be done by five six eight. Do you want
Speaker 1: to get into the show or do you want to
Speaker 1: talk somebody? I just kind I'm having so much fun
Speaker 1: talking to you, but we can, we can start the show.
Speaker 1: It's a it's an odd show. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorites. Okay, okay, I know that's
Speaker 1: crazy talk, but it's not. It's not one of the best.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of cool things in it. The show
Speaker 1: begins with an epic one er. This is the one
Speaker 1: that we talked about a couple of times on the podcast. Now,
Speaker 1: just to reiterate for those of you who who are like,
Speaker 1: what the fox a wonner? I know some of you
Speaker 1: know the film jargon, but for those of you who don't,
Speaker 1: wonder is where the camera never cuts? That is to say,
Speaker 1: there are no edits. The whole thing's filmed, and the
Speaker 1: cameras mounted to Charles Pappards and no shafts and no
Speaker 1: shaft Charles Pappard, all balls and no shaft and Charles
Speaker 1: pepperd All Balls and No Shaft slid into my DMS
Speaker 1: by the way, and said that he should come on
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'd love to have Oh, that would be
Speaker 1: so awesome. Yeah, I think we should have him one
Speaker 1: as soon as he wanted to come on for well,
Speaker 1: we're kind of full, as I just told the audience,
Speaker 1: we had a full plate. But maybe for a season two. Yeah, absolutely, Man,
Speaker 1: he should totally be on the show. It would have
Speaker 1: been smart for us to have him on this episode
Speaker 1: because there's this epic steady cam wonner that opens the
Speaker 1: whole show. But he did. First of all, Charles Pappard
Speaker 1: isn't a very big man, and he's one of in
Speaker 1: my opinion, he's a great steady cam operator. He's a
Speaker 1: great camera operator, but he's a great steady cam operator also.
Speaker 1: And I remember this being very taxing on his body
Speaker 1: one because I missed the jump shot so many times. Bill,
Speaker 1: here's an opportunity for you to clown me. How many times?
Speaker 1: Here that's here we go? How many times did I
Speaker 1: miss that jump shot? Look, I don't want to exaggerate
Speaker 1: it at all, but I would have to say that
Speaker 1: Donald missed that shot. That jump shot at the beginning
Speaker 1: of that long one er take. I want to say
Speaker 1: he missed it at least seventy times in a row.
Speaker 1: But to Donald could play ball. He actually played in
Speaker 1: my basketball game a bunch. But I do want it
Speaker 1: now committed to public record. Donald's older brother Dotta is
Speaker 1: much much much better at basketball than Donald is, and
Speaker 1: Donald has to live with that. I mean, his older
Speaker 1: brother can ball. The guy's a rock star on the court.
Speaker 1: So Joelle is going to put it on our show
Speaker 1: notes and you can click the link to the video,
Speaker 1: and I believe it's a it's a behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of doing this epic warner, and you can see how
Speaker 1: many times Donald misses the jump shot. Anyway, so we
Speaker 1: do that, we finally hit it, and there are a
Speaker 1: couple of times where Charles didn't do something right and
Speaker 1: we had to go back to the beginning again. But anyway,
Speaker 1: while watching this episode and watching this infamous warner, Yes,
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the end, if you notice,
Speaker 1: our energy just keeps picking up, and if we start
Speaker 1: getting more and more excited, if you look at really
Speaker 1: the person to watch is Sarah, because Sarah is going
Speaker 1: nuts inside, like you can see her, like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it. We're gonna do it, you know, and
Speaker 1: you can see you're right. As you can see when
Speaker 1: you watch the shot, there's so many moving pieces. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of background. There's there's us, there's Donald hitting
Speaker 1: the jump shot. Then we get on. Then we go
Speaker 1: in to hospital. We get on a working elevator. We
Speaker 1: actually got in the elevator. Do you recall the person
Speaker 1: that was working the elevator for us? I wrote it
Speaker 1: down Norm Norm. Yeah. Norm was a sort of an
Speaker 1: all around utility guy on the scrub set. He would
Speaker 1: work the air conditioning tubes, move them around and he
Speaker 1: would and he dressed up because we needed someone to
Speaker 1: be to actually operate the elevator. So we get in
Speaker 1: the elevator with Kelso then we come out. We struck
Speaker 1: down the hallway, we go into the ICU. The camera
Speaker 1: whip hands to Johnny c still without having cut. It
Speaker 1: comes back to us and then we come around the
Speaker 1: corner and we were joined by Carla, and then it
Speaker 1: whips around again and we see all the new men's students.
Speaker 1: So that took I think we rehearsed probably a full
Speaker 1: half day maybe, Yeah, it took a while too. It
Speaker 1: took a while just to set the shot up. I
Speaker 1: remember that, and then to get I remember we were
Speaker 1: supposed to get the shot done before lunch, and we did.
Speaker 1: And then but like by the skin of our teeth,
Speaker 1: if I'm correct, I'm not, I'm not exactly sure, but
Speaker 1: I know that there were so many other than me
Speaker 1: missing a jump shot. There were so many things that
Speaker 1: were involved that had to go right for it to work,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it didn't work. And uh, and what Donald,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. What you're saying is so by
Speaker 1: the time we made it to the second floor and
Speaker 1: we were kind of then the hard part was over.
Speaker 1: We like did Donald's jumpshot, and we did the choreography
Speaker 1: of the elevator and then we were struggling all the way.
Speaker 1: We all three of us were like, oh shit, we're
Speaker 1: making it. We're gonna make it, and you can see it. Sarah,
Speaker 1: Sarah is the most excited you could tell. So when
Speaker 1: I go give me some hungry chicken and you guys
Speaker 1: are eating, watch her. She's like her. She uses both hands.
Speaker 1: It was originally supposed to be one hand. She's using
Speaker 1: both hands. She's pounding my hand. And that's why I
Speaker 1: said to you, you're not hungry enough. You were getting
Speaker 1: cocky too. You know, you made it to the end,
Speaker 1: you started improving. You're like, yeah, that was improv Absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's cute. Well, I gotta tell you that it was
Speaker 1: really cool. And um, I wanted to say that if
Speaker 1: you're looking for there's a lot of famous one ers
Speaker 1: you can you can you can google it on online
Speaker 1: and find some in some of your favorite movies. But
Speaker 1: one of my favorites is and Good Fellas. If you
Speaker 1: remember that iconic shot that goes down into the restaurant
Speaker 1: when when he's bringing her on the first date and
Speaker 1: through the kitchen and up into the restaurant and I
Speaker 1: and and they're just really fun. Filmmakers and actors love
Speaker 1: them because it's it's so challenging to pull it off well.
Speaker 1: And um, I think this was the biggest one we
Speaker 1: did in all of Scrubs. Yeah. Uh. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies is Swingers, and they talk about you know,
Speaker 1: slow motion shots and wonders. Uh, and yeah that I
Speaker 1: think I think Scorsese's Good Fellas Wonner is probably one
Speaker 1: of the best wonders in the history Yeah, moviemaking. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's just uh. I think it introduced me as
Speaker 1: a young film student to how how cool they could be.
Speaker 1: And there's an epic one in Orson Wells is some
Speaker 1: touch of evil that opens the film as well. You know,
Speaker 1: there's there's dozens of them, but um so this was
Speaker 1: our homage. The Nutty Professor has one, and not the
Speaker 1: one with Eddie Murphy, the one with Jerry Lewis where
Speaker 1: he's before he walks into the club as Buddy Love.
Speaker 1: You know, he's walking down the street and people are
Speaker 1: stopping and looking at him like, you know, and you
Speaker 1: not expect. You don't know what to expect when you
Speaker 1: see him. You're thinking that the Nutty Professor is you know,
Speaker 1: it's a Jacqueline Hide story and his mister Hyde is
Speaker 1: like this grotesque thing. And when he walks into the
Speaker 1: bar and finally you get to see what he looks like,
Speaker 1: the reaction from everybody it makes sense, but it's like, wait,
Speaker 1: hold up, y'all were acting like this was the scariest
Speaker 1: dude on the planet and really it's just Buddy Love walking.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a nutty professor? Oh my god, listen,
Speaker 1: let me tell you right now. Jerry Lewis in that movie.
Speaker 1: I know he said some questionable things on television and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but you want to talk about switching
Speaker 1: it up when he plays the nerd and then he
Speaker 1: plays Buddy Love. I gotta watch it. He says, some
Speaker 1: of the monologues in that movie are amazing, Like he says,
Speaker 1: some of the most amazing, Like he is a true
Speaker 1: pimp in all sense of the word, in all respect,
Speaker 1: all respect, all respect to to what's his name, Buddy Love,
Speaker 1: Buddy Love. If you have to mention by, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna check it out. Not to mention the fame. Now,
Speaker 1: there's been some famous one or movies, including Birdman and
Speaker 1: what was the one that just came out that everybody
Speaker 1: loved so much? Nineteen seventeen. But that's CG two, though,
Speaker 1: isn't it. No? They they hit they they well, they
Speaker 1: didn't do a one or movie. They they hit a
Speaker 1: bunch of cuts. But it's but they're still doing like
Speaker 1: eight minute scenes with five hundred extras and incredible stuff,
Speaker 1: things exploding. If you are if you are a film
Speaker 1: geek like i am, go go watch behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventeen and you'll see just some extraordinary filmmaking. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So we just wrote that down. Dude, nineteen seventeen. Need
Speaker 1: to watch Yeah, go watch behind. You've never seen the film,
Speaker 1: have yet to see the film. Oh, the film's beautiful,
Speaker 1: but more but I was told I needed to watch it.
Speaker 1: I was told I needed to see it in a
Speaker 1: theater because of the scope. Yeah, but now you can't.
Speaker 1: But I I saw a screener because we got it
Speaker 1: for Awards season, and I love. I thought it was
Speaker 1: so beautiful. I went to the theater. I said, I
Speaker 1: got to see this, and I went and saw it
Speaker 1: at the Dome. You know here in Hollywood we have
Speaker 1: a big dome theater. And it was just gorgeous and
Speaker 1: and and amazing acting uh um by everybody involved, and
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. Yes, yes, sir um. At one thirty two,
Speaker 1: we started strutting. I mean we are strutting. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like a George Jefferson strut. It's like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: the straight up where we're moving on up. Yeah, strut.
Speaker 1: We were very serious. Look, I'm trying to tell you man.
Speaker 1: We were so excited, very excited, so excited. And then
Speaker 1: on Scrubs Wiki it was pointed out that at one
Speaker 1: fifty two, you can see my mic cable. Um. Now
Speaker 1: now now nowadays we would just you know, visual effects
Speaker 1: are so much easier, you would just paint something like
Speaker 1: that out. They just go in like like oh, you know,
Speaker 1: like photoshop but moving video and just paint a little
Speaker 1: mic cable out. But back in the day, we certainly
Speaker 1: weren't going to scrap finally making it through because he
Speaker 1: saw a little mic cable on him. But you see,
Speaker 1: I gently lift up my shirt a little bit and
Speaker 1: you can see where the hidden mic cable is on me.
Speaker 1: So there you go, the little Scrubs wiki guy coming through.
Speaker 1: Is this the first appearance of the Hungry Chicken at
Speaker 1: two fifteen? I think this is the only appearance of
Speaker 1: the Hungry Chicken? No? No, yeah, when did we do
Speaker 1: it again? I feel like Hungry Chickens has been in
Speaker 1: other episodes. Hey, Joel, have we set it up with
Speaker 1: our Scrubs wicky guy to answer questions that we ask him?
Speaker 1: If he might be down for that. Yes, he's very
Speaker 1: down to do anything for this show. Um, we're had
Speaker 1: to have him on as our fan caller, not this
Speaker 1: week but next week and then yeah we can ask
Speaker 1: him questions. Well, let's audition him. Now, Hi, what's his name?
Speaker 1: By the way, Joel, I just call him scrubs Wicky.
Speaker 1: What's his name? I would have to look so as
Speaker 1: of right now he scrubs Wicky. Okay, scrubs Wicky. Um,
Speaker 1: thank you for all your hard work. Is this the
Speaker 1: only time that the Hungry Chicken ever appears in nine
Speaker 1: seasons of Scrubs? And if not, when does it appear
Speaker 1: in other episodes? Yo, Trevor from Scrubs Wicky here. According
Speaker 1: to our records, the episode My Student is the only
Speaker 1: appearance of Hungry Chicken. Donald at three fourteen, you say
Speaker 1: something like, what is this thing we're doing? Baby girl?
Speaker 1: So do okay? So I know we had a lot
Speaker 1: of songs, but but this has no I do, but
Speaker 1: I don't buy vaguely, but before you go into the song,
Speaker 1: what there's no context for it in the episode at all? No,
Speaker 1: there isn't. But this was you and I arguing about
Speaker 1: R and B music, right, and you were like, dude,
Speaker 1: all it is is dudes and girl. Dude saying baby
Speaker 1: girl shook a doll and baby baby girl, I love
Speaker 1: a girl maiming girl, right, and so we when you
Speaker 1: said that, I remember laughing so hard because the pretty
Speaker 1: much every song that's R and B keep it one
Speaker 1: hundred y'all. Baby, Yeah, you're gonna hear the word baby. Definitely,
Speaker 1: you're definitely hearing baby. You're mostly if it's a male artist,
Speaker 1: you're most likely hearing girl. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Well, Donald
Speaker 1: the time, you were listening to a lot of those
Speaker 1: kind of songs, and I still do. I still do
Speaker 1: Trey songs. I still listen to all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I love them to death. Listen. We had some great
Speaker 1: guest casts. We had DJ Qualls remember him from well,
Speaker 1: the most famously Road Trip. Yes he was from road Trip. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was at the time. That was the most famous
Speaker 1: thing he had done. One of my best friends on
Speaker 1: the planet, Brecken Meyer, in that movie as well. I
Speaker 1: remember DJ Quaals told me a story when we were
Speaker 1: shooting this episode that he had made a bunch of
Speaker 1: money and he was working a lot and he walked
Speaker 1: and he doesn't do credit cards at all, wanted to
Speaker 1: just pay cash, didn't didn't mess with credit cards, and
Speaker 1: he walked into a BMW dealership to buy a fancy
Speaker 1: car and he couldn't you know, a lanky, young kid
Speaker 1: like him. He couldn't get anyone's attention. They just totally
Speaker 1: ignored him, and he was really it was like totally
Speaker 1: the pretty woman moment where he was like, you know
Speaker 1: what the commission. Yeah, and he walked across the street
Speaker 1: to the Mercedes dealership where someone finally gave him attention
Speaker 1: and he bought him Mercedes with cash. Wow. Wow, he
Speaker 1: had it like that. He got it like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had the money like that, and he was like
Speaker 1: and he just remember he was telling me the story
Speaker 1: of his pretty woman moment where like no salesman was
Speaker 1: even talking to him, and he was like, fuck these people.
Speaker 1: And he walked across the street and bought him brought
Speaker 1: up from the competitive dealership in cash. M Adrian Winner
Speaker 1: played Sarah's med student. He's the Northwestern grad so we
Speaker 1: know that he's a good actor, and I thought he
Speaker 1: did a great job. He did such a great job.
Speaker 1: I remember I looked at this. I didn't remember. You know,
Speaker 1: it's me so I didn't remember the episode, but I
Speaker 1: thought our guest stars were so good in this episode.
Speaker 1: In particular, I have to say Kelly Williams, who played
Speaker 1: Johnny C's love interest and was in part of your story. Absolutely. Uh,
Speaker 1: she was great. Uh what show was she on at
Speaker 1: the time, Joel, Do you know I was looking up
Speaker 1: she's been on all sorts of stuff since because I
Speaker 1: was kind of curious what she's been up to, and
Speaker 1: I was imd being here, but she's been working non stop. Well,
Speaker 1: yeah she was, but she was on a show I
Speaker 1: think at the time, and we it was you might
Speaker 1: be confusing her with a different guest star, but in
Speaker 1: any event, she was very good and she and Johnny
Speaker 1: were good together. Can we talk about Turk as a
Speaker 1: wing man? Yeah, Turk is the best wing man ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were, you were You really didn't want to do
Speaker 1: it until he was like, you idiot, Um, I'm obsessed
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend. Helped set me up with someone else? Right, well, right,
Speaker 1: that was the thing he I think Turk really enjoyed
Speaker 1: the fact that, uh, doctor Cox, that Perry Cox was
Speaker 1: in love with Carla and couldn't have Carla, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I think he loved the fact that
Speaker 1: I have something on you that you will never get.
Speaker 1: And then when he threatened him and says, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting here waiting, Turk knows I'm gonna fuck
Speaker 1: up eventually, and when I fuck up, this dude's gonna pounce.
Speaker 1: So I don't want this guy in the wings, right,
Speaker 1: you know when you're dating you know when you're dating someone,
Speaker 1: and and this is more back in the day. It's
Speaker 1: not really like a oh dude, I got I got
Speaker 1: a great story for that dude. No, but the dude
Speaker 1: had the friend who's in the wings, like always just
Speaker 1: sitting there, just waiting for you to fuck up. My dude,
Speaker 1: my friend, my friend, my friend. I dated someone and
Speaker 1: when we broke up. I remember her calling me like, dude,
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised at all of these guys that you
Speaker 1: know were so tight with us as a group, like
Speaker 1: you'd hang out with them. She's like, you'd be surprised
Speaker 1: of who's hitting me up? Like I don't want to know, man,
Speaker 1: it's it's you know we're no longer to gather, do you,
Speaker 1: But holy shit? Yeah, but you still got mad about
Speaker 1: that's still sketchy the dudes in the wings, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: y'all broke up. It's like a better off dead. I
Speaker 1: heard you broke up with Beth if I give her
Speaker 1: a call. Yeah, that's a great movie too. That ship
Speaker 1: is great when Barney he's watching The flint Stones and
Speaker 1: Barney's like, hey, Lloyd, I hope you I heard you
Speaker 1: broke up with Beth. Can I ask her out? That
Speaker 1: movie's amazing? Better Off Dead? Check it out? Better Off Dead,
Speaker 1: John Cusack. What about at five to eleven when when
Speaker 1: when Kelly's character says to Todd that he is a
Speaker 1: lap pinky. I've never heard the term lap pinky before.
Speaker 1: What is a lap pinky? A tiny penis? Oh? Right?
Speaker 1: When she calls him that, right with all the much cheese,
Speaker 1: But she uses the word mucheesmo. You said you hadn't
Speaker 1: heard that word before. She uses it in the show.
Speaker 1: I've heard much cheesemo. I said it in something and
Speaker 1: you were like, what wow, Donald with the macheese mo.
Speaker 1: Kelly was on the practice. You were right about that,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, she's a very good actress and I
Speaker 1: thought she did a great job. Lap pinky. I think
Speaker 1: we gotta put that into our our lexicon on it
Speaker 1: because that's a nice term for having a small penis
Speaker 1: a lap pinky? Yeah, I just don't I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't get it. But it's a pinky in your lap,
Speaker 1: Now you get it. I totally get it now. Oh,
Speaker 1: it took you a second. It took me a second.
Speaker 1: I was off a little bit. Yeah, maybe it's the
Speaker 1: Scotch anyway, lap pinky, Yeah, don't come around here without
Speaker 1: lap pinky. I don't we know, we know, we know
Speaker 1: you have a lap baby forearm on that note. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go to break. We'll be right back. All we
Speaker 1: do is talk about wieners on this show. I know,
Speaker 1: I know. I'm getting a lot of notes from my
Speaker 1: girlfriend's mom about about our willis. Oh man, she calls
Speaker 1: it the Eel cast, the eel Dude. You turned into
Speaker 1: the fucking hawlk Yo. You turned into the Hulk. You know.
Speaker 1: I was so happy that Joel wrote in her notes, um,
Speaker 1: was that really you, Zach? When you turn in the Hulk? Joel,
Speaker 1: that is a giant stuntman with a lot of with
Speaker 1: much bigger muscles than I could ever grow. I just
Speaker 1: love the fact that this is before like all of
Speaker 1: the um like your movies have come out and everything,
Speaker 1: like all the marble stuff, and you turned into the
Speaker 1: Hulk like back in the old school day. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: the cheesy, cheesy. That show is amazing. You didn't watch
Speaker 1: that show when you were a kid, everybody watched the Hawk.
Speaker 1: But come on, buddy, it like when you look at
Speaker 1: the Hawk now cantors. But you're not putting it in
Speaker 1: the context, dude, when we were kids, eighteen hunk, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all of those shows. Man, six million dollars Man, remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but when you look at at least the motherfucker jumped
Speaker 1: over shit in the six million dollars Man and could
Speaker 1: see remember that noise, Dan, can you put in that
Speaker 1: that noise of when the six would jump. I love
Speaker 1: that show. I did too. The six million dollars Man.
Speaker 1: We can rebuild him, we can fix him. We can,
Speaker 1: by the way, now nowadays it would be like the
Speaker 1: one billion dollar Man. We have the technology, we can happen. Right.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you only cost six million dollars to fucking
Speaker 1: become become a robot man, to become a freaking sideboard.
Speaker 1: How come no one's remade that we should remake six
Speaker 1: million dollars the six million dollars Man. But as two friends,
Speaker 1: as god, that would be hilarious. Let's do it, the
Speaker 1: bionic Man and the bionic Woman. Oh my god, no,
Speaker 1: we both get special powers. No, no, no one of
Speaker 1: us get special powers. The other one is the freaking
Speaker 1: dude on the computer. A oh, but I know which
Speaker 1: one of us is gonna want to be the dude
Speaker 1: in the computer. I guess you. I'm sure you will
Speaker 1: mind because you go home to your kids a lot.
Speaker 1: You'll work like an hour a day, like what do
Speaker 1: I gotta do you care to be on the set
Speaker 1: at the computer being like I'm enhancing the picture I'm
Speaker 1: moving in. Yeah, he's got a bomb in his left pocket.
Speaker 1: And then you just go home one day work, one
Speaker 1: day work, and then I'm out there fucking sixteen hours
Speaker 1: a day doing fucking leaps over buildings. I love it.
Speaker 1: I think this is a great idea. I think this
Speaker 1: is a show we should make. All right, Well, if
Speaker 1: you're a producer out there in Hollywood and you want
Speaker 1: to make a six million dollars n TV show a
Speaker 1: dollar and I we're ready. No, not a TV show,
Speaker 1: a movie, the movie. No. I think it should be
Speaker 1: streaming on Netflix, oh my gosh. And it should be
Speaker 1: just be like super silly, like like the powers they
Speaker 1: gave me only work sometimes. Do you remember the greatest
Speaker 1: American hero? My powers are faulty? Yeah? I heard they
Speaker 1: were remaking that. Of course, I don't know what happened
Speaker 1: with it, but I heard they were the greatest theme
Speaker 1: song ever, believe it or not not, I'm walking on there.
Speaker 1: I never thought I could feel so free, flying away
Speaker 1: on a win and a prayer. Who could it be?
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, it's just da dad. Now you're
Speaker 1: trying to say you don't. You're trying to say that
Speaker 1: show doesn't hold up anymore, and that was magic. It
Speaker 1: really does not hold up anymore. If you watch that show,
Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh my gosh, what about eighteen. I mean,
Speaker 1: no one ever got shot. They're all firing a K
Speaker 1: forty sevens at each other and no one ever gets hurt.
Speaker 1: That's one thing we could say about our show. At
Speaker 1: least people died on our show Man when they would
Speaker 1: do the no and then they do the sequence where
Speaker 1: they built shit, and now I'll be like, oh, what
Speaker 1: are they building? Dan? Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan
Speaker 1: Dan Danna Remember be a Baraccas, it wasn't Baracus. Remember
Speaker 1: he couldn't fly. They'd have to do awesome. Yeah, Hannibal
Speaker 1: ain't getting on the plane. You know, it's so funny
Speaker 1: about that. It's so fucked up. They would like, they
Speaker 1: would drug his ass so that he would fly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he fell for it every time. Every time they'd
Speaker 1: be like, here sip this, mister t what is in
Speaker 1: this strange concoction? What did you put in my banana? Right?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat a banana right now. I hate you, Hannibal,
Speaker 1: Damn you, Hannibal. You you put that secret flying juice
Speaker 1: on my banana. But you turned into the incredible Hulk.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm sad to said. You know Marvel, you're
Speaker 1: all those Marvel movies you love. They fucked up our
Speaker 1: childhood classics. Like now everyone looks at the Hulk TV
Speaker 1: show and they said that sucks. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a masterpiece. Okay, you should go back and watch it.
Speaker 1: I know I probably should try. Alma. So you turned
Speaker 1: into the Hulk, and then Alma you're like you say
Speaker 1: to her, you say to her something like he was horrible.
Speaker 1: I I you know, I'm sorry, and she goes, you
Speaker 1: don't got to apologize to me, but you will have
Speaker 1: to apologize to Jesus. Yeah, hilarious. Whenever Aloma did her
Speaker 1: her churchgoing woman preachy stuff, she was so funny, always, always,
Speaker 1: She's one of those people that just could sell the
Speaker 1: shit out of any line that was hilarious. You will
Speaker 1: watch to apologize to Jesus if you watch this episode.
Speaker 1: Every one of her lines is a punchline, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, and they're all she's always and
Speaker 1: they're always drive by. She's always walking by, every one
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, she crushes it every time. And what
Speaker 1: about we need to get her on the show. Oh
Speaker 1: we should, Well, we'll bid full up with guests. But
Speaker 1: season two Aloma, right here we go. Joel put it
Speaker 1: in the notes, please, um you pull out your booty
Speaker 1: at twelve forty eight. I do. And it's to show
Speaker 1: what what is it to show? It's to show you
Speaker 1: what they love? You know what I'm saying. So what
Speaker 1: you're saying and what Turk and you are both saying,
Speaker 1: is when all else fails, you just do the slow
Speaker 1: sag down and the woman see your juicy shelf butt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're sold. They're sold. I'm gonna tell you something
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, women aren't the only ones that can
Speaker 1: have a nice booty. Okay, right, yeah, go ahead, that's
Speaker 1: for real, for real. So are you feeling yourself when
Speaker 1: it comes to you, like when you're in the mirror
Speaker 1: and you check yourself out, You're like, look at my ass. No,
Speaker 1: it's a different ass now. It's got a lot of
Speaker 1: it's got a lot of wrinkles and sell you like,
Speaker 1: maybe should do some squats, squat a lot. It doesn't
Speaker 1: look like it did when I was twenty six when
Speaker 1: we made this show list. We could do lunges. You
Speaker 1: could do lunges. I do all of that, Zach. There's
Speaker 1: no reason why a forty six year old man can't
Speaker 1: have a tight ass. I'm gonna explain something to you
Speaker 1: right now. Don't blame it on your age. Joelle's falling
Speaker 1: off her chair, that is that is not an excuse
Speaker 1: for you. Man, You could do lunges. I'm gonna explain
Speaker 1: something to you right now. With age comes sag, and
Speaker 1: you can work out as much as you look at
Speaker 1: Johnny C the other day on Zoom. You don't think
Speaker 1: Johnny C got a little bit of sag in him? No,
Speaker 1: I bet you he's tight as fucking hell. Because Mutton,
Speaker 1: it looks like Mutton. You could bounce a quarter off
Speaker 1: his abs. Uh yeah, Mutton, I think that was firm
Speaker 1: like Mutton. That was Yeah, that was me. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if mutton's firm. It just sounded funny. I
Speaker 1: think mutton is like supposed to be like very tender.
Speaker 1: What is mutton? It's lamb, Yeah, it's lamb. I think
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be very very tender when it's tender,
Speaker 1: but to go it's firm like mutton. It just sounded funny.
Speaker 1: I think I stole it from Princess Brody because when
Speaker 1: the mutton is lean, remember that Billy Crystal, except for
Speaker 1: like a mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the mutton
Speaker 1: is lean. Do you remember meeting Billy Crystal? Uh? Yeah, where?
Speaker 1: And we want a plane where? And we were traveling
Speaker 1: It was me, you can. I don't know where we
Speaker 1: were going, but we were on a plane and we
Speaker 1: sat with Billy Crystal the whole trip. And then we
Speaker 1: saw him at the hotel too. Did we bother him?
Speaker 1: I think it was Hawaiian, know, it had to be Hawaii,
Speaker 1: and we were all He was just as much into
Speaker 1: us as we were into him. He was very much
Speaker 1: into you and you were very much into him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was very complimentary of me, and that made me
Speaker 1: feel good because I love him and I grew up
Speaker 1: on him like we all did. And uh yeah, Mutton
Speaker 1: from Princess Brian Mutton from Princess Bride. When the Mutton
Speaker 1: have fun fun stor Castle, You're think it'll work. It
Speaker 1: would take a miracle, right, he said to Blade, which
Speaker 1: we all know is true. Lia that great movie. Speaking
Speaker 1: of crushes, um Robin right in that movie was just
Speaker 1: about the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Yes, I
Speaker 1: love that movie. That's one of my favorite. I used
Speaker 1: to watch that movie all the time. I remember introducing
Speaker 1: it to my friends in the neighborhood who didn't see
Speaker 1: the movie and being like, you guys haven't seen The
Speaker 1: Princess Bride. I remember having a movie night at my
Speaker 1: house just so my friends who had never been introduced
Speaker 1: to The Princess Bride could watch The Princess Bride, and
Speaker 1: we watched it on VHS, obviously in my room, and
Speaker 1: I remember getting just such joy out of watching my
Speaker 1: friends laugh so hard at something that was like it was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't something that they would have gone to see normally,
Speaker 1: you know, right? Did you think you did that more
Speaker 1: often because you were dialed into all the theater world,
Speaker 1: were you were. There are other times where you were
Speaker 1: introducing your friend group to movies they might not have seen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened a lot. Actually, you know some of the
Speaker 1: movie you know. I grew up with a bunch of
Speaker 1: people who loved movies, though too so some of the
Speaker 1: movies that I was introduced to, you know, at a
Speaker 1: young age, like a lot of the horror movies and
Speaker 1: stuff like. I had a lot of friends who loved
Speaker 1: horror movies growing up, and I have an appreciation for them.
Speaker 1: I don't watch them, but things like A Nightmare on
Speaker 1: elm Street I would have never seen if it wasn't
Speaker 1: for Jessica Macardo, you know what I mean. Like, and
Speaker 1: you know Jessica, you've met her a couple of times.
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for her, a lot of the horror
Speaker 1: movies that i'd that I watch now when I don't
Speaker 1: watch them, but that I watched as a youth, I
Speaker 1: would have never seen him. And I would have never
Speaker 1: known about that genre like the way I know it now.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking just randomly, my father. Back when
Speaker 1: before the I was introduced to the world of independent cinema,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there were movies that didn't come
Speaker 1: to every theater. And a movie came out called The
Speaker 1: Gods Must Be Crazy masterpiece and this did not come
Speaker 1: to know South Orange, New Jersey, and my father said,
Speaker 1: we're going to go into New York to see a movie.
Speaker 1: And I was like, why aren't going to New York
Speaker 1: to see a movie? And he said, well, not all
Speaker 1: movies come into our town. And there's a movie that
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about we're gonna go see. So he took
Speaker 1: me a little independent cinema in Manhattan and we saw
Speaker 1: that movie, which I believe was a South African movie
Speaker 1: where the coke bottle fall from falls from the sky. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was one of the funniest, most brilliant movies
Speaker 1: I'd ever seen. And uh, and it was like, it's
Speaker 1: stioroughly good memory of my father introducing me to to
Speaker 1: to an early version of independent cinema. Did you ever
Speaker 1: see a Brother from Another Planet? The Brother from Another Planet?
Speaker 1: Oh No, if you ever get a chance, go see
Speaker 1: that one. That's we're giving we're giving our our our
Speaker 1: listeners quite a good list of movies this uh, this podcast.
Speaker 1: There's some good ones out there, guys, listen. If you
Speaker 1: get a chance go see a Brother from another planet.
Speaker 1: It stars Joe Morton, okay, and he literally is a
Speaker 1: brother from another planet, the brother from another planet, and
Speaker 1: one I remember one scene when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: so before Harlem was gentrified, which it's very much now.
Speaker 1: You know, all the white people used to get off
Speaker 1: at ninety six Street if you were on the train, right,
Speaker 1: no matter what line you were on, if there was
Speaker 1: a ninety six street stop, all the white people would
Speaker 1: get off because after that you were in Harlem. Right.
Speaker 1: So there's this dude like trying to get off rights.
Speaker 1: This dude on the train doing like tricks or something
Speaker 1: like that, doing magic, and the brother from another planet
Speaker 1: he doesn't speak that much, you know, he doesn't speak
Speaker 1: English or anything like that. You know, when people ask
Speaker 1: him where he came from, he just points to the sky.
Speaker 1: And so the dude's trying to do all these tricks
Speaker 1: and the brothers just not feeling it. And then finally
Speaker 1: he goes. You know, you hear the conductors say next
Speaker 1: stop ninety six street, and the white guy says to
Speaker 1: the brother, he goes, you want to see me make
Speaker 1: all the white people disappear, And everyone gets off at
Speaker 1: nineties all the white people get off at ninety six Street,
Speaker 1: And I remember as a kid, I used to I
Speaker 1: remember getting on the train and getting I was very
Speaker 1: young when the movie came out, and at ninety six Street.
Speaker 1: If you were going downtown, all the white people got
Speaker 1: on at ninety six streets. If you were going uptown,
Speaker 1: all the white people got off at ninety six Street.
Speaker 1: I remember this very much as a youth man. Wow,
Speaker 1: so crazy a joke. I gotta see that. You've just
Speaker 1: sold it to me. Donald, I'm watching it. If you
Speaker 1: get it chance, Joe Morton brother from another planet. I
Speaker 1: was laughing at thirteen fifty and there in the fantasy
Speaker 1: where I'm teaching DJ Quals to ride a bike, because
Speaker 1: I was laughing, going, I'm spoofing me at the age
Speaker 1: I am now right right. That character I'm playing is
Speaker 1: probably like a forty five year old dad like you
Speaker 1: got this right, pushing his kid along. It's also it
Speaker 1: also goes back to now you're doctor Cox, and it
Speaker 1: goes to the grainy shot of you teaching the kid
Speaker 1: how to ride a bike, where he's teaching you how
Speaker 1: to throw a baseball. Didn't we do that one? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Early on, So it's it's full
Speaker 1: circle we do. Yeah, you know, I'm trying to be cocked.
Speaker 1: I summon my inner doctor Cox in this episode so
Speaker 1: much so that we mirror the pilot where I where
Speaker 1: he fought. DJ's character finally has a moment of success
Speaker 1: and I go, I cheer him on, and then he leaves.
Speaker 1: And then and then Judy says, good ahead, and I
Speaker 1: put my arms up in celebration, just like the pilot, right,
Speaker 1: and then You're like, can you fix that for me
Speaker 1: while I'm gone, Yeah, that's funny. I gave him a
Speaker 1: peptog and then he still fucked it up. He never
Speaker 1: comes back, That's what's crazy. He never came back after
Speaker 1: this episode. None of them do. And other than other
Speaker 1: than the love interest, then Kelly the love interest, none
Speaker 1: of these characters came back. Yeah. I think DJ calls
Speaker 1: at them. At that time. You know, his career was
Speaker 1: on fire and he was just kind of coming by
Speaker 1: to do a quick guest star role. Yeah. Um, then
Speaker 1: you convinced Johnny C to show his ass, right, and um,
Speaker 1: john C has a nice ass. I'm not gonna lie,
Speaker 1: but it just didn't fit the character. So you like
Speaker 1: Johnny seas ass. Though. It's not that I like Johnny
Speaker 1: cs ass. It's just that you know, when you work
Speaker 1: out that much, right, I mean, you could bounce, you could.
Speaker 1: John C used to say that shit, you could bounce
Speaker 1: a quarter off his ass. You know that, you know
Speaker 1: that Johnny sees not the kind of guy who's skips
Speaker 1: leg an ass day. Hell no, you know he doesn't.
Speaker 1: You know far a fact he does, right, he got
Speaker 1: this look. Man. When I started getting serious about working out,
Speaker 1: I remember getting a text or call from Johnny C.
Speaker 1: I was doing the Santa Monica stairs, and I guess
Speaker 1: he drove by because Santa Monica and Malibu are very
Speaker 1: close to each other. And I remember getting the call, Donald,
Speaker 1: have you taken your workout to the next level? Did
Speaker 1: I just drive by the Santa Monica stairs and see
Speaker 1: you going up the Santa Monica stairs. I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of you, Donald, I'm very very proud of you. You
Speaker 1: gotta work the legs. You gotta work the legs. The
Speaker 1: Johnny C told me that he listens to our podcast
Speaker 1: as he's working out Tuesday and Thursday morning. So Johnny,
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, don't skip those squats. Buddy,
Speaker 1: keep you he doesn't keep as keep that ass firm, Johnny.
Speaker 1: Do a couple more reps. You could bounce a quarter
Speaker 1: off of it. Yeah, can you still bounce a quarter, Johnny?
Speaker 1: Or is it now just a penny solely? A penny
Speaker 1: will bounce? Um? Also clueless. When I saw the pants drop,
Speaker 1: I thought clueless right away? What is it with the
Speaker 1: pants load thing? Okay, so this is where it's a
Speaker 1: cultural thing. So in prison, they don't give you a belt,
Speaker 1: they don't give you shoelaces because they're afraid that people
Speaker 1: will hang themselves in their cells and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: or use it as a weapon. Right, So you have
Speaker 1: a bunch of people in prison walking around with their
Speaker 1: pants sagging and their shoes not necessarily you know, flipping
Speaker 1: flip flopping off their feet. So when we did Clueless,
Speaker 1: this had been become a fashion statement in the inner city.
Speaker 1: So like a lot of youth in the inner city
Speaker 1: were wearing their pants sagging, just copying what they saw
Speaker 1: from the ogs, you know what I mean? Right, right,
Speaker 1: And so this became this became a thing, and did it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the FAD's gone away, right or no, do
Speaker 1: you still still see people doing it. Well, I'm an
Speaker 1: adult now I still see it. I'm an adult now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna grown man now, so I prefer if you
Speaker 1: would have picked I don't want to see your underwear.
Speaker 1: But when I was a youth, I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: this you know this is I did it all the time,
Speaker 1: so I know mine from an adult point of view though,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty ridiculous style. Absolutely, but you have to
Speaker 1: be an adult to be like I don't like that style,
Speaker 1: of course, But I kid, you're like, look at all
Speaker 1: the ogs did it? You know what I mean? There
Speaker 1: was somebody did it, of course, and I'm sure that
Speaker 1: I subscribe to some style that I would think is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Now very low v nex dude, I've seen you with
Speaker 1: your pants sag and low too, So you can't not
Speaker 1: like your character did in the show. Dude. Well, no,
Speaker 1: not like that, but I've seen it. But I had
Speaker 1: some embarrassingly low V nex did you really? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: went through a low V neck phase. Do you like
Speaker 1: a V neck? Did you? Well? Now you can't because
Speaker 1: there are certain things that I used to do. A
Speaker 1: cargo shorts, I guess are done. My girlfriend said, no way,
Speaker 1: do you fucking can I wear those cargo shorts? You know?
Speaker 1: When I wear cargo shorts when I go to play golf.
Speaker 1: That's it. I think most women, and Joel, if you
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind speaking on behalf of all women in the
Speaker 1: world are pretty. Are pretty over cargo shorts. They're not.
Speaker 1: They're not attractive on anybody. So yo, saggy leg. This
Speaker 1: is when you knew cargo shorts was a rap. When
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler stopped wearing cargo shorts, you knew. Okay, I
Speaker 1: guess cargo shorts is over. Well, it's funny, it was
Speaker 1: for years. It was like, I don't know if the
Speaker 1: Grip and Electric guys are still wearing them, but that
Speaker 1: was the go to uniform, was cargo shorts, right, even
Speaker 1: in freezing weather. Yeah. And I had a bunch of them.
Speaker 1: And I recently tried to pull out a bunch and
Speaker 1: showed Flow and she said, do you have to take
Speaker 1: those off immediately? Yeah? I agree, So they're done. But
Speaker 1: I can't get I can't throw them away. I feel,
Speaker 1: do you have stuff in your closet you cannot wear anymore?
Speaker 1: But you're well, obviously we're looking at your closet, but
Speaker 1: you cannot wear anymore. You're like, I can't wear those anymore,
Speaker 1: but you just can't throw them away. They have nostalgia
Speaker 1: for them. They might come back too. Yeah, and I'll
Speaker 1: be fucking locked and loaded when cargo shorts come back.
Speaker 1: All right, do we need to take a break, Joel
Speaker 1: or what? We're gonna take a break, and when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna have a fan caller. Enjoy these
Speaker 1: beautiful words. Dude can make that I'm good noise. We
Speaker 1: used to donal and I used to make this noise
Speaker 1: whenever Sarah was like it was like late and we
Speaker 1: were all going stir crazy. We'd go and it would crack.
Speaker 1: It would crack her up, and no one could hear it,
Speaker 1: like the director or the producer of Randall. No one
Speaker 1: could hear that we were doing it. And she'd be like,
Speaker 1: stop doing that, and she'd be cracking up. Just back,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Like, Sarah, everyone's tired. Do
Speaker 1: you want to go home? Stop fucking up? And then
Speaker 1: she started her line and we go, oh, I missed
Speaker 1: that crazy girl. She's coming. She's coming on when when
Speaker 1: Joel Friday, right, Friday's Krista, Oh yeah, next week we
Speaker 1: got up. We got Sarah Chalk, the legendary Canadian. All right,
Speaker 1: b J Mendelson. Okay, before we get into b J Mendelson,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this out loud. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are getting pissed off at my Oprah shit. Why
Speaker 1: because some people are mad that I'm saying doing the
Speaker 1: Oprah stuff. No fuck that you're reading too many comments, Tode.
Speaker 1: I know. I told you in the beginning of you're
Speaker 1: you're doing two different dives. I engage with a little.
Speaker 1: I engage a little, especially with the nice people, and
Speaker 1: then you just dismount. You're like, you're like getting in
Speaker 1: your head. Oh, your Oprah voice is one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I come to work every day. Well, in that case,
Speaker 1: give it up for BJ Mendelson. Hey, I didn't know
Speaker 1: this was gonna be like a video thing, so I'm
Speaker 1: like wearing my trashy shirt. You look great. We're gonna
Speaker 1: apologize to our listeners that BJ doesn't have the ideal
Speaker 1: the ideal set up because he has a microphone that's
Speaker 1: a little wacky. But we're gonna fix it in post,
Speaker 1: are you Dan? I am? That's why do you play?
Speaker 1: What do you play? Bj? Cod I'm embarrassed to say Fortnite,
Speaker 1: And I could tell you it was my nieces and
Speaker 1: nephew that that got me into it because I let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Do you default dance? I do? Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you use Donald Stunt dance? That's the default dance? Okay? Sorry? Now,
Speaker 1: now why are you embarrassed? BJ? I don't really know
Speaker 1: much about gaming these days. Is Fortnite just meant for children? No?
Speaker 1: Then why is he embarrassed about it? Because I made
Speaker 1: a big stink about how much I do not like
Speaker 1: Fortnite because they stole my dance. But I don't give
Speaker 1: a shit. To be honest with you, I'm very very
Speaker 1: very I'm very very happy that they stole my dance.
Speaker 1: I think you were I think you were misquoted when
Speaker 1: you caused a little controversy. You were joke. You were
Speaker 1: sort of joking, and then there were people who were like,
Speaker 1: if they take off that dance because of you? Fuck
Speaker 1: you dude. They were I've never had more twelve year
Speaker 1: old boys mad at me in my life. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: well you threatened to take away their dance. I didn't threaten.
Speaker 1: All I did was said. All I did was say
Speaker 1: you know, they jacked it and then out of nowhere
Speaker 1: like it was a bunch of kids like fuck you.
Speaker 1: You has been It's because nobody watches your shit anymore.
Speaker 1: You suck anyway. It's because what you didn't get any
Speaker 1: money making scrubs. You didn't get any money making. You
Speaker 1: get all riled up because you made a joke about
Speaker 1: the Fortnite dance. And I'm fine with that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, And and I'm fine with it being
Speaker 1: the default dance. What are the other dances that BJ
Speaker 1: could use? Well, there's the backpack Kids one where it's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, backpack kid, and then you need to pay
Speaker 1: more money for that. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's something you want lock or not. I'm still
Speaker 1: new to it. I am still like, as long as
Speaker 1: you do with the Turk dance, it's all good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you find yourself BJ and Fortnite? Do you talk
Speaker 1: to other people? No? I try not to. But that
Speaker 1: was my big thing was I'm kind of just you know,
Speaker 1: I'm an author, so I don't socialize well with others.
Speaker 1: So playing like these online games where people are talking
Speaker 1: shit to you is like a new experiencer especially when
Speaker 1: you're thirty seven and have never played these things in
Speaker 1: your life. So do you and do you choose to
Speaker 1: not engage with angry twelve year olds? I try not to. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's probably good. It's probably good. I think I would
Speaker 1: get upset. And I think personally if I did it,
Speaker 1: if somebody was like, fuck your mother, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to fucking save the world here, everybody
Speaker 1: comment right, exactly the worst thing in the world to
Speaker 1: hear a kid yelling at your trash. P me, pev pamy,
Speaker 1: pav paymy. What does that mean? Pvpe me like, play
Speaker 1: me like versus just okay, player first player BJ. Do
Speaker 1: you play any other games besides Fortnite? Or is this
Speaker 1: year right now? It's wild Fantasy seven? You're a role player?
Speaker 1: Hold on, ye did you play Dungeon and Dragons growing up? I? No,
Speaker 1: I was in Magic the Gathering Kids, same shit, same, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is, It's true, that's cards. Yeah, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: a difference. Got very addicted to the Star Wars role
Speaker 1: playing game. Don what was that one? I remember that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When I was it was the Star Wars game. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what it was called, but there were a
Speaker 1: bunch of different ones. I even DM it. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Jedi Fallen Order, Donald, No, no, no, no. Jedi Fallen
Speaker 1: Order is a video game. We used to play it
Speaker 1: like it was Dungeons and Dragon. No. No, no, no no,
Speaker 1: that's not what I mean. Okay, but what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about in our adulthood during the time of Scrubs, you
Speaker 1: were playing a Star Wars Galaxies. Yeah, Star Wars Galaxies
Speaker 1: when that came out, I remember that game. I wish
Speaker 1: they didn't cancel it because look, it started off just
Speaker 1: as a role playing game that you would play on
Speaker 1: different planets, and then they introduced being able to fly
Speaker 1: in ships, right, And I remember at one point I
Speaker 1: got to talk to one of the head developers of
Speaker 1: the game, and I was like, you should make it
Speaker 1: so that you could jump in ships on the ground
Speaker 1: and fly in atmosphere and then from atmosphere take it
Speaker 1: to space. And then the game freaking failed eventually. But
Speaker 1: how can a Star Wars game fail? It just doesn't
Speaker 1: seem like it's possible. You know, you change it enough
Speaker 1: times and then people lose interests. You know. What happens
Speaker 1: is is that it starts off and it's pure, and
Speaker 1: then you start adding things. And once you start adding things,
Speaker 1: you know, people lose interest after a while, you know.
Speaker 1: Perfect example, George Lucas with the original series, with the
Speaker 1: original trilogy, it was, you know, it was shot a
Speaker 1: certain way, and he wasn't happy with it, so he
Speaker 1: started adding things. And the more he added, it seemed
Speaker 1: like the more fans were like, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. You don't need to add now.
Speaker 1: For me, I like the adding. I like that he
Speaker 1: added things because it made it cleaner, and it made
Speaker 1: it faster, and it made it you know, if you
Speaker 1: watch the original and New Hope, it's not as the
Speaker 1: special effects in it aren't as glorious as they are
Speaker 1: now when you watch it on Disney. Plus that being said,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that don't like that,
Speaker 1: do not like him going and retouching. I for one,
Speaker 1: do like the retouch I think I think there are
Speaker 1: certain movies that still like. People got mad when they
Speaker 1: retouched et you know what I mean. I, for one,
Speaker 1: wasn't that mad at it. I'm gonna be honest. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we should probably ask BJ some of his thoughts yea,
Speaker 1: though this is a rarity. I usually everyone I encounter
Speaker 1: hates the touch ups to the original trilogy. I don't
Speaker 1: mind them at all. The only one that I freak
Speaker 1: out about is the one everyone freaks out about with
Speaker 1: great those shooting first, right, that's bullshit, come out, yeah right,
Speaker 1: like that's the old the rest of it. I really
Speaker 1: I remember getting in line at this theater when they
Speaker 1: at least because forty, I wasn't old enough pretty riginal
Speaker 1: Star Wars. So when they see you're pretty close to
Speaker 1: it though, right, you said you're thirty, I just yeah,
Speaker 1: I just turned thirty seven, so nine years younger than
Speaker 1: us or so. Yeah. So my like my first Star
Speaker 1: Wars is the Phantom Menace, which is I'm ashamed to
Speaker 1: say that out loud, dude, you shouldn't be, because the
Speaker 1: Phantom Menaces new energy behind it thanks to Dave Filoni.
Speaker 1: But okay, true, true, and plus it had the great
Speaker 1: odd racing and sixty four game right well, which was amazing.
Speaker 1: But I liked all the touch ups that they because
Speaker 1: to me, it was like, all right, it looks like
Speaker 1: everything else because when I remember watching on VHS, I
Speaker 1: kind of fell asleep, right because it didn't look you know,
Speaker 1: when I was literally didn't look as crisp as some
Speaker 1: many other things that I was used to seeing at
Speaker 1: that age. Right, where do you live, BJ, I'm up
Speaker 1: in Monroe, New York, which is if anyone knows what
Speaker 1: Woodberry Commons is, it's a large tourist trap. Okay, said
Speaker 1: you're a writer, are you? Are you a novelist? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I'm the author of a book called Social Media
Speaker 1: is Bullshit. I wrote it in plenty twelve, so I
Speaker 1: was a little out of its time. I'm happy to
Speaker 1: give it away for free. If anyone wants a free copy,
Speaker 1: all they have to do is just hit me up
Speaker 1: on Twitter. It's like I said, it's an older book. Ironically,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to hit you up on social media. Right.
Speaker 1: So that was the thing that was the thing that
Speaker 1: I got a lot when it came out, was it
Speaker 1: was like, oh, hey, well, you know you've got this
Speaker 1: big presence on Twitter, but social media is bullshit. And
Speaker 1: when I said, people, was it not the tools? That's
Speaker 1: how you use it. And that's the part that where
Speaker 1: you run intold this bullshit. Yeah, bid dad, I feel
Speaker 1: like you'd be a guest and we could just talk
Speaker 1: to for hours about Yeah, as long as you guys
Speaker 1: don't go down in the Star Wars root every fucking
Speaker 1: five minutes, because I see I see Joel like nodding again,
Speaker 1: like she's like as though she's yelling preach when you
Speaker 1: guys start to talk. So yeah, she's got her hand
Speaker 1: up in the air, like you preach. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you for the it's it's scrub. Yes, yes, please.
Speaker 1: I have never felt so old, and now you know,
Speaker 1: knowing that you guys older than I am, I can
Speaker 1: only mention how you could feel. I was pitching this
Speaker 1: TV show and I can't, you know, can't say too
Speaker 1: much about it. But what I can't say is that
Speaker 1: it's about the six million dollars man, because we just
Speaker 1: pitched it live on this show, So don't steal that,
Speaker 1: all right again, it totally should be. It totally should be.
Speaker 1: That's due for a remake, although we've inflation. I think
Speaker 1: you might have to adjust it slightly. Yeah, said, we
Speaker 1: said you wouldn't get very far with rebuilding him for
Speaker 1: six minutes. Maybe his feet, Yeah, you would get the feet,
Speaker 1: maybe like the decas he would just fall over a lot.
Speaker 1: Uh so, but this kid, the kid, the kid that
Speaker 1: would start in the show, is only like twenty and
Speaker 1: twenty one. And so as I was going through with
Speaker 1: him and explaining like the look and to feel, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it's it's a lot like Scrub
Speaker 1: season one and Scrub season eight, where it's a little goofy,
Speaker 1: but it's also got like a little bit of darkness
Speaker 1: to it. And he was humoring me. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember Scrubs. And then uh like got off the
Speaker 1: phone and the producer calls me right back and he's
Speaker 1: like he has no idea what the fuck Scrubs it? Like,
Speaker 1: like what Scrubs was on? He was maybe too And
Speaker 1: for me, like is this kid a successful actor? He
Speaker 1: is a successful TikTok star. Oh well yeah, yeah right,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, so on the way, Donald, TikTok was out
Speaker 1: when when you were young, you would have been a
Speaker 1: TikTok star because you all would have been TikTok. No,
Speaker 1: but I can't dance like you can do those moves, dude, No,
Speaker 1: but you would have. You would have figured out a
Speaker 1: way to freaking look man, you did Garden State. You
Speaker 1: would have figured out a way to make a fucking
Speaker 1: movie on TikTok that everybody loved, even if it was,
Speaker 1: like you know, only however long TikTok allows it, you
Speaker 1: would have figured out a way. You're a very bright boy,
Speaker 1: Thank you, very bright. Do you do you ever see
Speaker 1: that video of the girl on TikTok and she's like
Speaker 1: vent viral. She's sobbing, but she's still doing her TikTok
Speaker 1: dance for the song and some comedian I forgot, I
Speaker 1: don't know who it was, but they wrote like maybe
Speaker 1: maybe wait till you're done with your breakdown, until you
Speaker 1: to do the dance. But she's trying to make a
Speaker 1: point that like I'm still gonna dance through this sad
Speaker 1: moment and she's doing all the choreography but she's bawling.
Speaker 1: I've never seen this. Have you got a BJ Have
Speaker 1: you seen that I have? I gotta tell you I
Speaker 1: tried like hell to avoid TikTok and snapchat, but it's
Speaker 1: the thess nephews there that age group where that's all
Speaker 1: there on. Look at my daughter, that's all she watched.
Speaker 1: My daughter, not my not my not my five year old,
Speaker 1: but my twenty one year old just walks through the house. Dad,
Speaker 1: you gotta check this out. And it's nothing but TikTok
Speaker 1: shit Like it's so much. I would get my daughter
Speaker 1: up my five year old up here right now. But
Speaker 1: my twenty one year old daughter has corrupted Kaya has
Speaker 1: corrupted Wilder so much that Wilder is now doing the
Speaker 1: Savage challenge. I'm a savage, classy bougie ratchet. Can you
Speaker 1: get her up here? We got to hear it. Hold up, Wilder,
Speaker 1: this might be worth it. BJ You're about to get
Speaker 1: a special. She's warming up because she used to she
Speaker 1: used to know. She used to not perform on cue.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna turn her into a We're gonna turn
Speaker 1: her into a child actress. If it's the death of us,
Speaker 1: that's that's fantastic. That guy have to tell you. Um
Speaker 1: so that just real quick. The Garden State soundtrack for
Speaker 1: my college radio station was all that they would play
Speaker 1: when it came out, So I just I would I
Speaker 1: feel obligated to share that with you than welcome to
Speaker 1: come back? Thank you? Yeah? Yeah, it was Donald jokes
Speaker 1: that I want to grab me for a mixtape, but
Speaker 1: it's He's right. It was just the music I was
Speaker 1: me and my friends were listening to and it felt
Speaker 1: really appropriate for the UH, for the era that the
Speaker 1: film was about. And then UH, with the help of
Speaker 1: my editor Myron Kirsteine, Um, he really gets all the
Speaker 1: credit for putting them in the right spots. He I made.
Speaker 1: I just made a giant playlist, and then I'd let
Speaker 1: him go attack some scenes and then he'd come back
Speaker 1: and he'd go, Dude, I've just put the Paul Simon
Speaker 1: song on this moment, and you got to see it.
Speaker 1: And I would watch it and get goosebumps up and
Speaker 1: down my arms, like, yeah, we're never gonna be able
Speaker 1: to get that song. But that's a key ber. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's Rocko, there's Roco none, hold on, come on, all right,
Speaker 1: all right Wilder by Wilder performed backup. You don't need
Speaker 1: the music. He's just doing without the music. Ready, all right,
Speaker 1: go five, six, seven, eight. I'm savash Cassie Bratcher, sassy,
Speaker 1: nasty hacking, I'm savash thunderous of clause? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: All right? Okay, so now I got Look, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: show you who's all in here. Now. I got the
Speaker 1: whole family in here, just to see everybody's here. I'm
Speaker 1: bob okay, okay, all right, all right, get him out,
Speaker 1: pull him out. Back to the bouncy you guys wet
Speaker 1: this whole room up. Humh. Back to the bouncy castle.
Speaker 1: They're they're, they're I don't I don't know this song,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't seem that it's necessarily appropriate for a
Speaker 1: five year old to sing the lyrics twenty one year
Speaker 1: old who's who's watching TikTok like twenty four to seven?
Speaker 1: And so because of that, can you talk me through
Speaker 1: the lyrics of this this song? It's it's uh Mega Stallion, right,
Speaker 1: and she now has a remix with her and Beyonce
Speaker 1: Oka Beyonce as how would say Rest in Peace My father?
Speaker 1: And uh the chorus is I'm a savage? Uh uh,
Speaker 1: what is it? I'm a savage classy boogie ratchet? Uh? Now,
Speaker 1: what does ratchet mean? Ratchet is like when you're like,
Speaker 1: that's ratchet, yo, You're ratchet? Isn't necessary? Is typing out
Speaker 1: the lyrics for you? Donald sat moody, nasty, acting stupid?
Speaker 1: What's happening? What's happening? I don't know how I feel
Speaker 1: about my little god dollars saying sassy, maddy, nasty, moody,
Speaker 1: moody moody. Oh sorry, well it's Joelle's TYPEO, not mine.
Speaker 1: I thought maddy was a new word. No moody, sassy, moody, ratchet,
Speaker 1: no acting stupid was happening? Savage passie boogie. BJ's like,
Speaker 1: what did I get into? This is what it is?
Speaker 1: Like we forgot about question. This is exactly what I'm
Speaker 1: going through right now. Like, so, we had this song
Speaker 1: lild Life. Uh Olivia, she's five, he's really inso it
Speaker 1: and you know, the lyrics are probably not terribly appropriate
Speaker 1: for a five year old, so we had to like
Speaker 1: a mending say, know though the song is called low light.
Speaker 1: So I know this whole thing very well. Like BJ, A,
Speaker 1: you have any questions, Yeah, So I don't know way
Speaker 1: to start because just to get people contact guy, it's
Speaker 1: it's I've got the fan going soefully you guys can't
Speaker 1: hear it too much. I can't feel the fan, PJ.
Speaker 1: Can you turn it a little to so it just
Speaker 1: just for context. So going through, Uh so I used
Speaker 1: to be married and going through. We got married just
Speaker 1: as the recession started, so we didn't have a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff but we did have Scrubs dvdews, so that
Speaker 1: was pretty much we would watch did you give him
Speaker 1: or her? When in the breakup? Did you give him
Speaker 1: or her? Season nine? Uh? I actually liked season nine.
Speaker 1: I know that Donald has two do you do Okay?
Speaker 1: I can't say my needs his attention? I think you
Speaker 1: do it all the time. Okay, great. So I know
Speaker 1: this has been said elsewhere by other people, like had
Speaker 1: it had a different title, um, it would have been successful.
Speaker 1: But I think because it was still called Scrubs, called
Speaker 1: the Shipman, called Dave Franco, Yeah, it was a little
Speaker 1: too much Dave Ranco, Donald Phazon as squeech right, But
Speaker 1: I get it's very solid it. You know, the shows
Speaker 1: up really well. The season nine holds up. I feel
Speaker 1: pretty well. Did There is probably a little too much
Speaker 1: day Franco for me. He was like, to me, it's
Speaker 1: a more like annoying character, right right, But so to me, like,
Speaker 1: the big question I feel like is how do you
Speaker 1: think to show has held up? Because today the episode
Speaker 1: that we were going to talk about, there's a whole
Speaker 1: scene funce with doctor Cox and the and the doctor,
Speaker 1: the young doctor, and I feel like today I don't
Speaker 1: know if you'd be able to do that story well beyea.
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of things that don't
Speaker 1: necessarily uh hold up with what's going on today with
Speaker 1: the show. You know, Cox calling j D a girl's
Speaker 1: name all the time might be you know, offensive to
Speaker 1: some Yeah, you could catch offense to that. Zach and
Speaker 1: I had a conversation about that. We were like, you
Speaker 1: know what, we know where the show has its moments
Speaker 1: where we're like, oh boy, but maybe you know, if
Speaker 1: we're if everybody's true fans the show and was watching
Speaker 1: it back then and doesn't have a problem didn't have
Speaker 1: a problem with it back then, I don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: it behooves us to continue to talk about what you know,
Speaker 1: the past. You know, it was made at a certain time,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: I don't know. But to your point, I don't know
Speaker 1: that Again, who knows that someone might find offense to
Speaker 1: doctor Cox flirting with a co worker. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it was done in a pretty h clearly
Speaker 1: consensual way. She was flirting right back with him, and
Speaker 1: well and says Turke even says, you know this is
Speaker 1: highly inappropriate and you shouldn't be doing this. And you
Speaker 1: know better than this, doctor Cox, and it's and and
Speaker 1: to the and to his intern And if you're supposed
Speaker 1: to say anything to you're supposed to be uh worshiping
Speaker 1: me and you know the knowledge I have and not
Speaker 1: shape being love struck with this, you know, senior resident
Speaker 1: in the house. But for what it's worth, he then
Speaker 1: doesn't have courage or whatever. And he's still obsessed with Judy,
Speaker 1: I guess. And he walks off, and that's she that
Speaker 1: shows up at his door. Remember that. No, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he told I think BJ totally gets it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying it to you. She's the she becomes the aggressor.
Speaker 1: And then he gets up and says something no man
Speaker 1: would ever say to a woman. He says, uh, I'm
Speaker 1: using you to get past another person. That was fucking
Speaker 1: nuts that any human being would say that to someone.
Speaker 1: But then she's like, I don't care, let's hook up.
Speaker 1: That's not why I'm here, right. Yeah. My whole deal is,
Speaker 1: you know, you have to look at things with the
Speaker 1: time that they were producer, and that doesn't excuse like
Speaker 1: like it really agreed to stuff. We had a title
Speaker 1: come out cereal Box is recently called Knox, which deals
Speaker 1: with all the HP Lovecraft, you know, like the dark
Speaker 1: and mysterious tentacles and enemies from other dimensions. And so
Speaker 1: the way I describe it to people, as you know,
Speaker 1: it's HP Lovecraft about the anti Semitism, like it's taking,
Speaker 1: it's taking like the best parts of it. And so
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at his stuff in that context,
Speaker 1: you can't excuse like the bladed bigotry. That's, well, you're
Speaker 1: you're you said you're an LGBTQ, yes, activist. So there's
Speaker 1: plenty of stuff that I imagine some would find defensive.
Speaker 1: In nine years of this show, the calling of JD
Speaker 1: this sort of um, it was considered derogatory to be
Speaker 1: called a girl's name. I mean, how does how does
Speaker 1: something like that? I thought that held up to me.
Speaker 1: I thought that, hell, because it's within the character that
Speaker 1: it works. That makes sense that he It's just the
Speaker 1: character is dead set. I'm belittle and j D in
Speaker 1: any way that he can. And you know that, and
Speaker 1: in his mind and coxed his mind, I was belittling exactly,
Speaker 1: and wasn't It didn't come off as like malicious in
Speaker 1: that he meant it as a anti case slur, like
Speaker 1: he just meant it as this I'm just gonna chip
Speaker 1: you down. I'm just gonna keep chipping away into So
Speaker 1: I think it really comes from the character. And as
Speaker 1: long as the character isn't like a blatantly racist or something,
Speaker 1: which is the case thought the Coxes, And uh, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I know that I know that there's there's certainly people
Speaker 1: that would be offended by it, and I understand that.
Speaker 1: But to me, if as long as it fits within
Speaker 1: the nature of the character, you think, it's okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right? Do you have another question for the legendary
Speaker 1: Donald Phazon or Zach Braff Sassy Boogie Ratchett. What's happening, Madi?
Speaker 1: You sound like you sound like Rocco. So Rocco doesn't
Speaker 1: like the song at all because he doesn't like the
Speaker 1: dance or anything like that. Right, so he'll be like,
Speaker 1: I'm a savage ratchet acid Dukie rockets at a stage
Speaker 1: where if you just want to savage out of something,
Speaker 1: say poopy or coca right, anything anything. He sometimes looked, Man,
Speaker 1: you've you've heard my son. I've taught him some words
Speaker 1: that I'm I should never have taught. Man, it's like
Speaker 1: a parrot. You never want to teach a parrot. Curse
Speaker 1: for I taught him some words, and now I'm like,
Speaker 1: I should have never done it, And when he goes
Speaker 1: back to school, I'm so worried. Yeah, well, for now
Speaker 1: it's your problem, yes, J go ahead. Yeah, So you
Speaker 1: mentioned in the divorce that did they get season nine?
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna give them season seven for the
Speaker 1: writer's strike, and I was just always fascinated by the
Speaker 1: whole thing with you guys having to stop mid season
Speaker 1: and just trying to adjust that. I don't remember. Maybe
Speaker 1: you guys can provide the context of that. So the
Speaker 1: season shut down and then you had to go back
Speaker 1: and finish the episodes. Was that sort of the deal
Speaker 1: on that? I don't really remember. I know that I
Speaker 1: know that Hollywood was shut down for the writer's strike
Speaker 1: and we didn't work. Then we went back. Why are
Speaker 1: you are you saying that you you can notice the
Speaker 1: difference in the in the quality because of that crazy time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that if those episodes were done in any
Speaker 1: other context, they would have been great. But there's something
Speaker 1: that feels off to them as you're watching them that
Speaker 1: could just be going in with the context of, oh,
Speaker 1: this was done when the writers weren't there, or this
Speaker 1: was sort of just done under nothing would be done
Speaker 1: without the writers being there. You know, this is a
Speaker 1: this is a really good bill. Oh great, we can
Speaker 1: do our Ask Bill, this is a really good bill. Question. So, BJ,
Speaker 1: why don't you direct it directly to Bill Lawrence, the
Speaker 1: show's creator. You ask him? It's a good question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So Bill, season seven, if you had to do over,
Speaker 1: would you feel that it would come out differently? And
Speaker 1: then the way it did being produced in the writer strike.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good play. That that is good.
Speaker 1: And then Bill will will Bill answer it? Now? Knowing Bill,
Speaker 1: knowing Bill, he'll answer the start with a joke. Let's all,
Speaker 1: let's all see if he does this all open with
Speaker 1: a joke. Then he'll give a very heartfelt, serious answer,
Speaker 1: and then he'll end by yelling five six seventy eight.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see see. I hope I'll live up
Speaker 1: to that. Do I think season seven would have been
Speaker 1: different without the right Yeah, because you got to remember,
Speaker 1: not only did the strike muck everything up um so
Speaker 1: much so NBC even rejiggered the order of the episodes.
Speaker 1: I think they aired that Princess Bride homage like it
Speaker 1: was this show's finale, just in case it was the
Speaker 1: show's finale when it wasn't supposed to. I mean, we
Speaker 1: were heading the finale was always going to be that
Speaker 1: end of season eight episode that was already written in
Speaker 1: my head, and we just never got to do it
Speaker 1: that year. It was such a drag. Also, you got
Speaker 1: to remember, man, during that whole lead up to the strike,
Speaker 1: it was such a weird writer's room because we're all
Speaker 1: hustling and worried about losing our jobs and worried about
Speaker 1: not working and all that stuff. So it was definitely
Speaker 1: screwed up on one of them on record that I
Speaker 1: didn't do the number que for the song because it'll
Speaker 1: get stale if I do it too often. But I'm
Speaker 1: coming back with a vengeance. See. I remember when the
Speaker 1: writers strike happened, and I remember the one thing that
Speaker 1: I remembered the most about the writers strike was thinking,
Speaker 1: holy cow, we're not going to work for a while,
Speaker 1: and does this mean this is the end of the show,
Speaker 1: because you know, at this point, you know, studios were
Speaker 1: studios weren't necessarily behind writers striking and everything like that.
Speaker 1: And I worried at that point, does this mean that
Speaker 1: Scrubs isn't coming back? Are you know? And I remember
Speaker 1: I remember marching with Bill all the way to Universal Studios.
Speaker 1: Now we all went and marched on the line with everybody,
Speaker 1: and and thinking is this something that the studio is
Speaker 1: going to look back at and be like, well, We're
Speaker 1: not going to bring back Scrubs because they were a
Speaker 1: part of the writers strike. We're not going to bring
Speaker 1: back Brooklyn ninety nine because they were a part of
Speaker 1: the you know what I mean. Like now, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, shows are dropping because of this because of COVID,
Speaker 1: and and Broadway shows are closing because of COVID because
Speaker 1: they because they know they can't. Frozen is done because
Speaker 1: of COVID, Yeah, and others and shows are getting canceled.
Speaker 1: Emergence a amazing show, Emergence starring Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if Emergence got canceled because of COVID or if Emergence
Speaker 1: got you know, ABC doesn't have to give a reason
Speaker 1: for why they canceled the show. Have you watched Emergence?
Speaker 1: I have, Uh I didn't. It didn't take for me.
Speaker 1: Ah Bj, You're done. No, I'm just joking. I'm just
Speaker 1: don't hate on Jing. It didn't take for me. I
Speaker 1: wrote the cast, great, great actors. Yeah, I find I
Speaker 1: find a lot of TV shows that come out of
Speaker 1: the broadcast that works that usually the cast is great,
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, there's just something that doesn't click
Speaker 1: for me the way down. Well, I think what happens
Speaker 1: is that just sort of stereotypically there there's a lot
Speaker 1: of chefs in the kitchen on broadcast and now more
Speaker 1: and more, um the the showrunner and directors are given
Speaker 1: long leashes in on streaming platforms, and there's a voice
Speaker 1: to be had. They want a voice, was the voice
Speaker 1: behind the show. That's what they're interested in, especially all
Speaker 1: these sort of comedies we all love on on on
Speaker 1: things like you know, perfect example is is Atlanta? For me,
Speaker 1: it's like so clearly someone's taste and voice and uh
Speaker 1: and that's hard to find on broadcast talents of course,
Speaker 1: because there's nine thousand people weighing in. It just becomes
Speaker 1: a fucking muddy stew So I feel that way about
Speaker 1: Dave on FXX. Like it or you don't like it?
Speaker 1: I love it? Oh good good? I get a whole
Speaker 1: ad for Dave on here. It's so good, Davis. I
Speaker 1: can't get Donald, who would love it more than any
Speaker 1: of us, to watch it, because he's too busy fucking
Speaker 1: doing whatever he's doing raising kids. Yo. No, I'm raising kids.
Speaker 1: They're going to sleep at what time? Seven thirty? And
Speaker 1: then I want to go to bed, buddy? What time
Speaker 1: you get to bed? What time it's lights out? Eight thirty? No? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you turn out your lights at eight thirty, eight thirty,
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. I'm most likely on my way upstairs to
Speaker 1: go to sleep. Wow, it's crazy, dude. Listen man. As
Speaker 1: much as as much as I'm a as, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right now. I love my children. I love everything
Speaker 1: about being a dad and and all of that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I said it before. I miss waking up at
Speaker 1: noon and not having anything to do other than hang
Speaker 1: out with my wife. You know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: missed that shit. Um Every every week Donald makes um
Speaker 1: having children seem less and less appealing. Now now I
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to that. I don't want
Speaker 1: I don't want to. You know, the grass is always greener.
Speaker 1: I would prefer to wake my son walking in my
Speaker 1: room at five thirty in the morning every day saying
Speaker 1: can I have cinnamon toast crunch. I prefer that over
Speaker 1: being at Orlando Jones's pool till right exactly till four
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. But you know it's it's I
Speaker 1: do miss that moment in time where it was just
Speaker 1: I didn't have to worry about a lot of things,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And I worry about everything now. Well,
Speaker 1: you're in a new chapter of your lifetib this is
Speaker 1: this is forty six. Yeah, you know, and when I
Speaker 1: was a young dad, it seemed a lot easier. It
Speaker 1: seems way more difficult now. Man, I don't know bj
Speaker 1: you have kids, right, No, I'm child free us he
Speaker 1: was talking about it. Yea. I love kids. I love
Speaker 1: my niece is Zepi's more than anything in the world.
Speaker 1: I think kids are just the best look for me.
Speaker 1: I decided to deal. I want to be environmentally friendly,
Speaker 1: and I know it's cookies. It sounds um So I
Speaker 1: took that, took that like reduce your carbon footprint thing
Speaker 1: really seriously and just decided, you had kids, I don't
Speaker 1: know what kind of world they would get into, So
Speaker 1: I decided not to do it. It's a little too
Speaker 1: deep and serious. Yeah, go out with one happy question
Speaker 1: because we're going along wrap it up. Yes, you've been
Speaker 1: a great guest. I gotta say Donald hasn't been a
Speaker 1: great guest. BJ. I'm gonna be honest with you. So far,
Speaker 1: favorite call in every Yeah, I think I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna think for a second. Yeah, I think BJ's definitely
Speaker 1: top two or three. Two, I'm gonna give the number one. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, No, before you give it to him,
Speaker 1: Before you give it to him, Let's see what the
Speaker 1: final question is. Yes, No, thank you guys, because I,
Speaker 1: like I said, I spent uh craps on the time
Speaker 1: with the X watching you. So it was cool just
Speaker 1: being able to experience a few mens hanging out. My
Speaker 1: last question for you is the world where even like
Speaker 1: the most Mike Chris Coppic show gonna remember gets the movie.
Speaker 1: You've probably gotten this a lot, but do you envision
Speaker 1: a scenario where there might be more scrubs? And I
Speaker 1: know that it's such a fanily question to ask, but
Speaker 1: I had to ask it. No, it's a great question.
Speaker 1: I think there's a world. It was we did the
Speaker 1: view today and whoopee Goldberg said, you know Oscar nomine
Speaker 1: whoope Goldberg? Well e got oh he got winner, he
Speaker 1: got winner. Whoopee Goldar. Sorry, I'm sorry she has the
Speaker 1: four of them together. I didn't know she was an egot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she she she that's the reason she's got the Tony,
Speaker 1: the Emmy, the Graham and the Oscar. What does she
Speaker 1: have an oscar for? Oh? Ghosts ghost Oh wow, don't
Speaker 1: get us going on Color Purple. We did a whole
Speaker 1: we did a whole episode. Listen, we love us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't get don't don't, don't, don't get good Donald doing
Speaker 1: Oprah's monologue again. Because she was Gideon for me, You're like,
Speaker 1: I grew up with her next generation. Yes, she was
Speaker 1: great on that too. Did you ever see her one
Speaker 1: woman Broadway show that you can see? That's what she
Speaker 1: won the Tony four. I think it was nineteen eighty five. Um,
Speaker 1: it was Whoopie Goldberg's one woman Broadway show. And she
Speaker 1: does all these characters, and I'm telling you find it.
Speaker 1: It is a fucking masterpiece. It's one of the she is.
Speaker 1: She is by far like she is, she's better. I'm
Speaker 1: not me. I don't mean to Disk the View because
Speaker 1: the View is the View and it's like the most
Speaker 1: popular daytime show. But I wish that Whoopee was still
Speaker 1: acting because she's so incredibly talented. She's one of the
Speaker 1: She's one in my opinion, she's one of the best ever. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you made me want to go back and watch Star
Speaker 1: Trek the Next Generation now because I used to watch
Speaker 1: that show. Great. Watch Donald I did Great. Remember the
Speaker 1: episode where Pricard is being tortured and he's like, there
Speaker 1: for lights? Yeah, by the board? Is he being by
Speaker 1: the board? Yeah? Um. Anyway, she was like, Whoopee was like, look,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan. I was a huge fan of
Speaker 1: the show. I think y'all should make a Scrubs movie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We talk about that, you know, because I point to
Speaker 1: psych who's now made two successful films, and um, it
Speaker 1: would be fun. I think it'd be fun for us
Speaker 1: to do all do something like that. We just have
Speaker 1: to get Disney to be into it and Bill Lawrence
Speaker 1: to be into it, and I think it'll happen. They're
Speaker 1: the fans. The fans seem to really want it to happen.
Speaker 1: The fans wanted a rewatch show, and they got that
