Speaker 1: I didn't tell you that this podcast is so blowing up.
Speaker 1: It's so on fire that they've asked Donald Phase on
Speaker 1: it and I had to go on the view. I
Speaker 1: hope I get to talk to Whoopee. Well, you're old
Speaker 1: friends with Whoopie. She was in Homie Spamoni. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: did a movie together. It was great. I have some
Speaker 1: apologies to make to her. I have to apologize, like profusely,
Speaker 1: don't embarrass us in front of Whoopee. Bro, I won't
Speaker 1: embarrass us in front of Whoopie. But I was like
Speaker 1: a little punk back in the day, like I was
Speaker 1: scared of I was so scared of celebrities and getting
Speaker 1: to know actors who I was, you know who I loved,
Speaker 1: like Whoopi Goldberg is one of my top five, Like
Speaker 1: she inspired me as a youth, and yeah, like Jumping
Speaker 1: Jack Flash. You know, uh, there's so many before all that. Dude.
Speaker 1: When I saw the color Purple when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: and I thought I didn't know anything about acting, but
Speaker 1: I said, that is one of the best actresses I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Absolutely I cried and are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: For the first time ever in a movie, And when
Speaker 1: they pulled the sisters apart when pulled me and you
Speaker 1: us never part mckidada. Oh my gosh, I can cry
Speaker 1: right now. Let me tell you something. Ain't no mountain,
Speaker 1: ain't no cy mackey, Dad, keep my sister away from me, mckidada.
Speaker 1: And the fact that she went to her sister went
Speaker 1: to live with her kids, Adam and Olivia. That was
Speaker 1: even more special. Man, it was just that's one of
Speaker 1: those movies. I could get tears in my eyes with
Speaker 1: you recounting it. If you haven't seen The Color Purple,
Speaker 1: it is a fucking masterpiece. Steven by Steven Spielberg, music
Speaker 1: by Quincy Jones. Yes, and Steven Spielberg always used John Williams.
Speaker 1: This was the one of the first times that he
Speaker 1: didn't use John Williams and used Quincy Jones instead. Well,
Speaker 1: that's good trivia. And Whoopi Goldberg's performance is unbelievable. And
Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey winfree she getting I know she got nominated,
Speaker 1: she won the curve for that, she didn't for it.
Speaker 1: Nobody from The Color Purple? Who could have beaten Joel
Speaker 1: I am so sorry to start right off the bat,
Speaker 1: but who could have beaten Oprah Winfrey's performance in the
Speaker 1: Color Purple? Who is this person? Who is this thespian?
Speaker 1: That one? Is that? That? That my favorite scene. You
Speaker 1: told to beat me? Oh my life. I had to fight.
Speaker 1: I had to fight my brothers, I had to fight
Speaker 1: my daddy. I never thought I'd have to fight in
Speaker 1: my own house. Got no sa do, but I killed dead.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, come on, you just got me all
Speaker 1: riled up about Color Purple. Danny excuse me? Yeah, Danny Glover, Ye,
Speaker 1: Danny Glover. I mean, there's just I agree with you.
Speaker 1: It was one of the first times I like sobbed
Speaker 1: in a movie and I was a little kid, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, just like, wow, this guy me.
Speaker 1: I remember my mom tapping my dad and being like
Speaker 1: the baby's shoots crying, My baby is crying, and that
Speaker 1: part yeah, me and you us never part, And when
Speaker 1: she teaches her how to read, and then of course
Speaker 1: at the end when her sister comes back, when she
Speaker 1: finds the letters, which is signing letters, when she finds
Speaker 1: the letters. But when I think of, like you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes they think about the movies that have made me
Speaker 1: cry the most, I always think of of those two
Speaker 1: sisters being torn apart in the color purple. That and
Speaker 1: one of my favorite moments in that whole movie is
Speaker 1: when Sugar Avery played by Margaret uh finally has lightened
Speaker 1: up to Miss Cilly and she's written a song with
Speaker 1: her band called Miss Cilly's Blues and they play it
Speaker 1: at the juke joint. Sister, you've been oh my mind,
Speaker 1: Oh sister, we're two of a kind soul. Oh sister,
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my eye on you. That song is fire
Speaker 1: And that was the Quincy Jones right that. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this is all Quincy Jones, the whole soundtrack, Quincy Jones
Speaker 1: Que Sister you love me? Oh myma. Okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: can't do it like you. I mean, come on, I
Speaker 1: know that's nobody could. Nobody could do it like Margaret Sure, Gabriel, Hey,
Speaker 1: should we say stories about Sure? We made about a
Speaker 1: bunch of docs and nurses, jan I said, he's the
Speaker 1: stories should get around here are around here? Are so
Speaker 1: much love for for the theme song, Donald lot to
Speaker 1: love and on our on our instagrams for for so
Speaker 1: many things Bill and his five six seven eight, and
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that there were that few Peloton instructors,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people were like Oh man, you
Speaker 1: had such and such. I thought there were dozens of them.
Speaker 1: Now I guess not I guess, or I guess the
Speaker 1: one I described specific, very specific. You didn't really leave
Speaker 1: much mystery. Did you work out today? I see you're
Speaker 1: all sweating up there. I did work out today. I
Speaker 1: found a new instructor. Oh good, you know you can
Speaker 1: always you can pat down your head before we do
Speaker 1: the podcast that I shout, I showered and everything. This
Speaker 1: is that afterglow. This is that freaking Bruce what Bruce
Speaker 1: Lee Warre was searching for at the end of the
Speaker 1: last Dragon, I got that going right now. Really, why
Speaker 1: don't you pull some sweatpants off the rack and pat
Speaker 1: your forehead down? And I can't look at that for
Speaker 1: an hour? Does does it make you uncomfortable? No? But
Speaker 1: you need like what do you when you know when
Speaker 1: the rappers always carry a wah cloth? You and I
Speaker 1: got into big years the go about how you said
Speaker 1: that African American people always bring a wash cloth into
Speaker 1: the shower. Yeah, we did get into a debate about this,
Speaker 1: and I said that I've never used a wash cloth
Speaker 1: in the shower, and you said, you said, you said,
Speaker 1: every black person I know brings a wash cloth in
Speaker 1: the shower. Most black people use wash cloth, Joel, can
Speaker 1: you weigh in on this, she said, nodding her hair.
Speaker 1: Yet Black Twitter, when we learned that people do not
Speaker 1: wash their legs, they were very loud about the youth
Speaker 1: of wash cloths and try to inform a lot of
Speaker 1: people in many reasons that you can always just take
Speaker 1: a cloth in there and really scrub, like like, what
Speaker 1: does your hand do that thing that has like friction
Speaker 1: that is made for friction when wet. So as you're
Speaker 1: married to a Caucasian woman, do you she doesn't know
Speaker 1: she uses a washcloth. My wife is Southern. But hold
Speaker 1: on now, let's not forget that my wife is Southern.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that Southern white people, even
Speaker 1: though they might have issues with black people, do exactly
Speaker 1: the same thing that black people do. Well, if you're listening,
Speaker 1: we want to know, um, no matter what your ethnicity,
Speaker 1: if you use a washcloth in the shower, please you're
Speaker 1: just getting hit us up on Instagram and let us
Speaker 1: know if if you're walking now now you said washing
Speaker 1: your legs, do well. I definitely think that I neglect
Speaker 1: my my legs in the shower. You know, I throw,
Speaker 1: I throw a little something down there, But I don't
Speaker 1: like get in there with a wash clothe. You need
Speaker 1: to get in there with a wash cloth. What about
Speaker 1: your toes? Do you clean your toes? Yeah? Man, you
Speaker 1: clean your whole body with it is. Don't hold on,
Speaker 1: don't go to the ass and the genitals right away.
Speaker 1: Wash your So you have to replace the wash cloth
Speaker 1: each shower, well, I mean, because you gotta. You might
Speaker 1: have a little doodo, aren't if you get in there deep,
Speaker 1: if you get in there and then you come back
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden your legs, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: but that all listen. It all depends on how well
Speaker 1: you wipe your ass too though. Okay, so if you
Speaker 1: got dodo in the crack your ask when you're shower,
Speaker 1: I feel no matter how well you wipe, if you
Speaker 1: stick a wash cloth, you know, a quarter of an
Speaker 1: inch in your anus, you're gonna get a little poo
Speaker 1: on it. And I don't want to put that on
Speaker 1: my legs. So let me get this straight. When you
Speaker 1: are washing your body, you stick your finger a quarter
Speaker 1: of an inch And you know, I'm saying if I
Speaker 1: had no, I don't, But I'm saying if I had
Speaker 1: a wash cloth, if I have the barrier mitt of
Speaker 1: a wash cloth, I would probably inspired. I'd be inspired
Speaker 1: to get in there and just get the inner rim
Speaker 1: a little. Know. You know, when I when I'm going no, no,
Speaker 1: Joel is the test audience, and she's cracking up. Listen, listen.
Speaker 1: When I clean my sink, Donald for the most time,
Speaker 1: I just you know, I clean the bottom of the sink,
Speaker 1: get all the stuff to go on the drain, Like
Speaker 1: once a week, I take a scrub, and I really
Speaker 1: get the rim of the drain hole. So I'm talking
Speaker 1: about that. Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. You'll wash your dishes,
Speaker 1: the things that you eat off of with something right
Speaker 1: that's not your hand. Yes, you're inspired me. Both you
Speaker 1: and Joel are making me think that I gotta change
Speaker 1: this up. I'm forty five years old. I'm gonna change
Speaker 1: my whole shower routine. Man. We've had this conversation for
Speaker 1: a very long time, you know, and I haven't changed
Speaker 1: it yet. I know, well I have done it. I've
Speaker 1: gone through periods where I where I where I where
Speaker 1: I bring a wash cloth in, But then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta change you eat shower. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: wash claws. What about it? Like one of those scrub puffs,
Speaker 1: like one of those alofa Yeah, but I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to put aloofa between my cheeks scratch my ship up.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I'm sorry everybody. I hope you're listening
Speaker 1: on earphones. You're listening on earphones and not out loud,
Speaker 1: by the way, I gotta tell you, I'm listening to

Speaker 1: way to put put hard into it. And he talks

Speaker 1: human being. And Matt's Harses and I made a TV show.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a whole it's all gonna come full circle.
Speaker 1: We made a TV show called alex Inc. That only
Speaker 1: went ten episodes because you know, it didn't really click
Speaker 1: with the fans and didn't work. But we worked on
Speaker 1: it together, and it was about making a podcast. And
Speaker 1: now here I made a podcast with you, and the

Speaker 1: the town that you go to when you're ready to fight. Listen.
Speaker 1: So this one's called My Drug Buddy. Great, great episode.
Speaker 1: You know. What I noticed though, is that I didn't
Speaker 1: laugh out loud that much, but I still had great feelings.
Speaker 1: Like when the show was over, I was still like,
Speaker 1: that was such a good episode. But I didn't have
Speaker 1: moments where I didn't laugh out loud. You didn't allow
Speaker 1: when Kelsel duty trying to get in the car and
Speaker 1: Kensel rolls down the window like a quarter inch that
Speaker 1: ship was hilarious. No, I didn't laugh at that. You know,
Speaker 1: I did laugh There was one moment where I laughed
Speaker 1: out loud. What you owe me twenty bucks made me
Speaker 1: laugh so hard. That was when the janitor comes up
Speaker 1: at the end after you've gotten you know, after you
Speaker 1: and what about don't look no, no, no, yeah, Well

Speaker 1: You know, I forgot the analogy, but this whole elaborate
Speaker 1: thing about how there was there was fire that landed
Speaker 1: near the site, the site, and I wonder if you
Speaker 1: can really. I mean, I guess you abably can really
Speaker 1: get pregnant that way. I mean, if we put it
Speaker 1: on the show, it's probably true. Yeah, someone must have
Speaker 1: googled it, but what a horrible like thing to have happened,
Speaker 1: you know. I also love that your your grace and
Speaker 1: will and grace. You're not will, you're grace. Yeah that
Speaker 1: makes sense. Um, I laughed a loud like I said
Speaker 1: at Kelsel rolls down the window and inch for Judy.
Speaker 1: By the way, I totally don't remember at all this
Speaker 1: Kelso Judy storyline, but I thought it was very funny
Speaker 1: and they were both really good together. They have good chemistry,
Speaker 1: he says, I don't. I don't. It means she doesn't
Speaker 1: give a crap a cheet Yeah, yeah, yeah, a moment
Speaker 1: I noticed at six oh four, I'm in the on
Speaker 1: call room with with Alex Liz Bogish and Sarah comes
Speaker 1: in and mentions the missing percocet And if you know
Speaker 1: the end of the episode, you track her face. She's
Speaker 1: got a very guilty face on. Yeah. That was like
Speaker 1: I said, Man, we always dropped clues, and the way
Speaker 1: she deflected it was by saying, you know, like when
Speaker 1: watching it this time around, knowing how the out knowing
Speaker 1: what the outcome was, I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: she just totally gave it away just now. She totally
Speaker 1: winked at the camera like I did it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: But it's funny and any any to anytime, you know,
Speaker 1: know the end of the movie or a TV show,
Speaker 1: and you go back, you'll hopefully see some some little clues.
Speaker 1: But of course I never watched this. I probably only
Speaker 1: watched this episode once. I never noticed it. But this
Speaker 1: time watching it back, I noticed that either it was
Speaker 1: her choice or Spiller directed her to to give a
Speaker 1: little bit of a look. But she definitely gives a
Speaker 1: look like yeah, but that doesn't usually, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say. Usually, you know, a lot of movies
Speaker 1: you go back and you can't you can't find you know,
Speaker 1: somebody whoever wrote it. Or television shows too, you go
Speaker 1: back and you can't find where it all tracked from.
Speaker 1: It doesn't always track. You know, who's really good at
Speaker 1: tracking things are like you know, James Franco and Seth
Speaker 1: Rogan and them when they write movies, like when I
Speaker 1: saw this is the end, Franco gives you the whole
Speaker 1: plot in the beginning the movie of what the movie
Speaker 1: is going to be, and you don't listen to it
Speaker 1: necessarily because you're just you're waiting for the lass. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the movie it's the It's exactly
Speaker 1: what he said to Rogan in the beginning. He's like, no,
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. This happens, and then at the
Speaker 1: end Danny eats me, and then it happens in the
Speaker 1: movie where we do that. But there have been a
Speaker 1: special case where you didn't track it because you were
Speaker 1: high off your ass. That's another thing that I've stopped recently.
Speaker 1: You talked about how you know you eat unhealthy and
Speaker 1: you went on this fast because I gave you. I
Speaker 1: gave you a pep talk about your diet. But you
Speaker 1: also talked about it on the on the podcast where
Speaker 1: you were like, you know you we made all of
Speaker 1: this pizza and then finally we were like, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get healthy. He just showed me his abs, me Dan
Speaker 1: and Joel his abs. If Danny Joel want to be
Speaker 1: inspired as well, they can be very nice. Anyway, you
Speaker 1: talked about it and I was like, well, I'm doing
Speaker 1: so many horrible things. Like, I made fried chicken last night.
Speaker 1: You sent me a picture of you eating fried chicken.
Speaker 1: How is that going to help your diet? It was delicious,
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm really good at cooking now, but
Speaker 1: I can only cook bad foods, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, I gotta cut this out.
Speaker 1: And so I've decided, Oh so you gave up weed
Speaker 1: last night. You know how it is with me, And
Speaker 1: I'll give you these speeches. It's not like I've been
Speaker 1: off of it for you know, a week. We stopped
Speaker 1: smoking weed literally less than an hour ago. Donald is
Speaker 1: so funny. This is classic Donald phaze on and be
Speaker 1: like yo yo, I stopped smoking weed. I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 1: good for you, good for you? When um this morning,
Speaker 1: yeah I woke up this month. But the crazy frustrating
Speaker 1: about you that I fucking hate is when when Donald
Speaker 1: commits to get in shape, he can do it in
Speaker 1: like a month. He'll be ripped, like he will go
Speaker 1: so hardcore who work out every day, will totally change
Speaker 1: his diet. And then you'll see him and you'd be like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, you did that in four weeks. And that
Speaker 1: spoiled your ask because now you know in an emergency, Like,
Speaker 1: if you get some part where you've gotta be looking good,
Speaker 1: you can fucking do it so fast. Right, So, if
Speaker 1: you're Marvel Star Wars, if you're listening and you're ever,
Speaker 1: if you're ever thinking about hiring Donald Face on who
Speaker 1: I Am? Who I Am? Comma, Who I Am, and
Speaker 1: you're like, uh, but he looks like he's out of
Speaker 1: shape right now, know that all it takes is one
Speaker 1: month and I'm yours. Did you see Kamal? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: He looks amazing, fucking hell man, he looks went all out.
Speaker 1: He looks like an action figure. He does look like
Speaker 1: an action figure. He looks well. It suits him too.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look bad on him either. And I like
Speaker 1: the fact that he shouted out his whole team that
Speaker 1: did it, because I think sometimes these these famous actor
Speaker 1: types they show what they did and they don't say like, oh,
Speaker 1: and I had a chef and I had a trainer,
Speaker 1: and because yeah, you gotta be honest with people and
Speaker 1: say like, hey, I had a team helped me with this,
Speaker 1: And I like, I liked when he revealed it on
Speaker 1: Instagram that he that he shouted out everybody that helped him, right,
Speaker 1: it's not something that you can do by yourself. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to rock does it, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: the rock has. He's a zillionaire. He's got he literally
Speaker 1: he literally literally puts up a gym wherever he goes.
Speaker 1: He's got a tent like a wedding tent gym that
Speaker 1: that gets set up wherever he goes, the Iron Paradise.
Speaker 1: Should we get back to the episode Donald the Love
Speaker 1: of God. Um I thought at seven oh five it
Speaker 1: was funny. And they're on their online at the coffee shop.
Speaker 1: The guys wearing a giant headset like it kind of
Speaker 1: dates the show two thousand one or whatever. He's wearing
Speaker 1: like a full on like megaphone headset. Is it? Is
Speaker 1: it a headset so he can call out orders over? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no. That this was he was a guy
Speaker 1: on line. Remember she Judy gets in a fight, that's right,
Speaker 1: and he's on the phone. Right, But this is before
Speaker 1: the headsets got tiny, right. He had the Janet Jackson
Speaker 1: went on, yeah, he or like the or what is it?
Speaker 1: What was the boy band and saying or whatever that
Speaker 1: you would have the big bye bye bye coming up
Speaker 1: the headsets. So John C. And I you're on a
Speaker 1: side schedule. Is that ever happened to you? Uh? No, me, neither.
Speaker 1: I've never had to go to the bathroom at the
Speaker 1: same time as another man consistently. Like I've gone to
Speaker 1: the bathroom and and another man has been in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: but I didn't go back to the bathroom four more
Speaker 1: times that day and see same dude. Yeah, it's awkward.
Speaker 1: I really hate I agree with Johnny C. I don't
Speaker 1: like fucking urinal banter. And I'm sure like you're in
Speaker 1: a side contact either. No, And I'm sure someone like
Speaker 1: you being in the public eye sometimes you have people
Speaker 1: that want to fist bump you and talk to you
Speaker 1: in the men's room. That's no, no, no, no, has
Speaker 1: that happened to you before? But I just want to
Speaker 1: want to do a hip people want to do hip
Speaker 1: hop hugs, people want to fist bump, No, dude. I
Speaker 1: remember one time this dude, we're at the urinal and
Speaker 1: he's like, dude, I love your work, and I was like, oh, ship, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: And then we go to the sink and he's like
Speaker 1: and we're washing our hands and he's like, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, man, is so good. You shine in
Speaker 1: like a gold diamond right now, like a gold diamond.
Speaker 1: Was the kiss a good kisser? He was a great kisser.
Speaker 1: Not a great cuddler, but great kisser. I don't think
Speaker 1: you know, it's fine. I don't want to talk when
Speaker 1: I'm at the urninal, Like if you're why you speaking
Speaker 1: of headsets? You see dudes like on their phone at
Speaker 1: the urinal and they're like, no, Jim, I told you that,
Speaker 1: and they're like, they're like shaking their dick and then
Speaker 1: they're like then they pull out their phone while they're
Speaker 1: peeing and they got their dick dangling and they're like
Speaker 1: checking their Instagram. That's not my style. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that sounds horrible. Now I noticed you and Johnny. I
Speaker 1: guess it's to hide penis for the camera, but you're
Speaker 1: standing very close. And even Joel commented on this in
Speaker 1: her notes that she said to guy. Joel said, quote,
Speaker 1: do guys really stand that close to the urinal? And
Speaker 1: I want to be like, no, Joel, No, I mean
Speaker 1: I get this, the camera angle you had to hide
Speaker 1: your junk moment. Probably want to know this. But there's
Speaker 1: all different types of urinals. There's you know, at the
Speaker 1: stadium there's like just a trough, and then at the
Speaker 1: like a high end restaurant, they'll be like a border
Speaker 1: that like blocks, like no, this is my space. You
Speaker 1: can't now And nowadays to put a little you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny they put something for men to aim for,
Speaker 1: because studies have found that when men have something to
Speaker 1: aim at, their way less likely to splash everywhere. So
Speaker 1: now in the urinals they put like an etched little
Speaker 1: bug or a little bull's eye, and you're supposed to
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not it's not that doesn't say please
Speaker 1: aim for the bug. You just your brain is like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit that fucking fake bug. And the physics
Speaker 1: of it, if you aim for that bug perfectly, you're
Speaker 1: least likely to splash all over the floor. I always
Speaker 1: wonder how that happens, you know what I mean. You
Speaker 1: get on you get on a plane, and you go
Speaker 1: into the bathroom and a plane and somebody has just
Speaker 1: like ship their brains out in the bath and you're like,
Speaker 1: what the fucklow did? I remember? One time lady came
Speaker 1: at the one time, this young lady came out of
Speaker 1: the bathroom and I saw when she came out. She
Speaker 1: was in there for a while, but when she came
Speaker 1: out I saw that she was She had the moment
Speaker 1: of I should tell you not, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say anything because I'm a little embarrassed. And I went
Speaker 1: into the bathroom and it was everywhere, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what do you do? And I wanted to come out
Speaker 1: and be like, right, what did you do? What did
Speaker 1: you eat? Did you have the fish? So when I
Speaker 1: walked by her going back to my seat, when I
Speaker 1: walked by her, I just looked at her and shook
Speaker 1: my head. You did, I was like, with disapprovement. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's fucked up. Yeah, listen, have you ever gone into
Speaker 1: a bathroom like an air like an airplane bathroom and
Speaker 1: it's just horrible, like someone just destroyed it and you
Speaker 1: you didn't You just gonna pee or whatever and get out.
Speaker 1: And then you were like as you come out, the
Speaker 1: person in line, and you you feel like you want
Speaker 1: to tell him like I didn't do that, like whatever,
Speaker 1: I need you to, though, especially when you're in the
Speaker 1: public eye, you're like, you don't want to go home
Speaker 1: and tell your friends like Donald destroyed that bathroom, So
Speaker 1: you gotta be like, hey, I just went I had
Speaker 1: nothing to do with in there. I'll even come out
Speaker 1: and be like, you need to get the stewardess because
Speaker 1: whoever was in their last you need to get the
Speaker 1: flight attendant because whoever was in their last totally messed up.
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with the stalagtites on the ceiling.
Speaker 1: So when Johnny sees banging his head on the wall,
Speaker 1: I remember they cut a hole in the wall into
Speaker 1: the other room and then put up Jim Matt Yeah, yeah, no, Matt,
Speaker 1: a gym Matt, and then covered the wall again with
Speaker 1: uh set wall, yeah, whatever the set wall was, and
Speaker 1: they covered it up so that he could bang his
Speaker 1: wall and not get a concussion. And if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: because that bathroom that we were in was actually two
Speaker 1: where they cut a hole in the wall and then
Speaker 1: just put a fake urinal against Yeah, well that's how
Speaker 1: they got that shot of you. There's a shot of
Speaker 1: you straight on and the plumbing of the of the
Speaker 1: urinals in the foreground. They could have never gotten that
Speaker 1: shot if that wall wasn't removable, or or they could
Speaker 1: have rigged that little plumbing thing right in front of
Speaker 1: the camera. I don't know. What they did. Also, the
Speaker 1: hospital didn't have bathrooms like that, if you recall, right,
Speaker 1: it didn't have shared men's rooms like that, right right?
Speaker 1: Or and if it did, if it did, they urinals
Speaker 1: on the wall. You had to go into a stall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very hard. It's very hard to shoot in the
Speaker 1: bathroom anyway. So but yeah, so you and Johnny, that's
Speaker 1: your whole arc is Actually there's a lot more to
Speaker 1: the arc. It's we revealed. I never remembered at all
Speaker 1: that it was this blatant that Cox had a whole
Speaker 1: thing for for Carlo. I mean, you guys have it out,
Speaker 1: you know at the end. Yeah, And that's what I
Speaker 1: was trying to tell Johnny, and he was like I
Speaker 1: didn't believe it. I'm like, all right, well whatever, man,
Speaker 1: But well when we have him on, he's coming back on,
Speaker 1: so we gotta we can ask him about this, right.
Speaker 1: I laughed when you went, I went. I laughed when
Speaker 1: you went You're my little peabody, right, I remember, I
Speaker 1: remember when we were shooting this. This is when I
Speaker 1: was like wow. And I even said to him, Johnny,
Speaker 1: don't intimidate me, and he was like, I'm not intimidating you. Man,
Speaker 1: don't you know, shut the funk up with that. And
Speaker 1: I was like, you're right, let me just let me
Speaker 1: do my work. And I remember being very excited to
Speaker 1: work with john because you know this, this was really
Speaker 1: my first moment ever that we had multiple scenes together
Speaker 1: in the first your first story arc together, right, and
Speaker 1: so we were working together, uh, multiple days. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just one day of filming, and uh, we got to
Speaker 1: develop some form of timing together because we we didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily have that at this point. So wait, when you
Speaker 1: started this episode, you said to him, like, don't intimidate me.
Speaker 1: We were doing a scene, the scene where we're face
Speaker 1: to face and Johnny is an intimidating person, and he
Speaker 1: you know, but he was in character. He's supposed to
Speaker 1: be trying to intimidate you, right, But as uh, as
Speaker 1: a young actor who's working with somebody you admire and
Speaker 1: you're doing stuff like that, you know, I got nervous
Speaker 1: and I was and I you know, I mumbled out,
Speaker 1: please come on, man, don't intimidate me. And He's like,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up, I'm not intimidating you. Just do
Speaker 1: the scene. And I was like, actually, right, you're absolutely right, good. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so so it was so it worked out because I
Speaker 1: think you guys are really great together. It's very funny Johnny.
Speaker 1: You know, he always was kind of you know, you
Speaker 1: think about it in when he was on set kind
Speaker 1: of in character is Cox. He was always kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of those guys you know some
Speaker 1: actors um not like on the Daniel de Lewis level,
Speaker 1: you here where someone's like you have to call him
Speaker 1: President Lincoln. But like he was always you know, he
Speaker 1: was always kind of you know a lot of people
Speaker 1: stay kind of roughly. Manny b Tankin did that and
Speaker 1: wish I was here. You know, he would you know,
Speaker 1: he would be on set, he'd kind of be being
Speaker 1: the guy even when you weren't shoot, and then you'd
Speaker 1: call wrap and he'd be like, hey, that was a
Speaker 1: great day, man uh see you tomorrow and big hug,
Speaker 1: and he was like and Johnny and Johnny, I feel
Speaker 1: was like that he would kind of you know, he
Speaker 1: was always kind of don't you think, kind of steal
Speaker 1: a little bit in the Cox character. And I think
Speaker 1: and I think that's what everybody interprets as he's intense
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and and and and why people
Speaker 1: are nervous when they work with him for the first
Speaker 1: time because they misconstrue that as this dude is a
Speaker 1: method or this dude is an asshole, or this dude's
Speaker 1: just too intense for me, And what he was doing
Speaker 1: was just being Cox when Cox is in the hospital.
Speaker 1: When we work together, you know, I was very excited
Speaker 1: to work with the man. I thought it was I
Speaker 1: and I love the way the story arc ends. I
Speaker 1: love that we you know, he's trying to hide it
Speaker 1: from everyone that he's in love with Carla, and we
Speaker 1: figure it out, and you and I figure it out,
Speaker 1: but she hasn't figured it out yet, and so which
Speaker 1: is really weird. Just Carla not know that Johnny, she doesn't.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like women know right away,
Speaker 1: and so no, I think that's bullshit. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of women are like, we're just friends, and I
Speaker 1: want to be like, have you not seen when Harry
Speaker 1: met Sally watched that ship? I think they say we're
Speaker 1: just friends to push you into a friends into the
Speaker 1: friend zone. Anytime a woman goes, no, we're just friends,
Speaker 1: she knows what's going on, and I disagree. I disagree. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, wait wait wait wait wait wait
Speaker 1: Before Joel answers, I want to say something I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm talking about how many times have you
Speaker 1: spoken to a woman, whether it be your wife or
Speaker 1: a girlfriend or someone else in your life, and you go,
Speaker 1: you know that guy, straight guy friend you have wants
Speaker 1: to sleep with you, right, and they're like, what, No,
Speaker 1: we're just friends. My wife doesn't have any straight friends.
Speaker 1: Well back in the day, she might have, she does, no,
Speaker 1: she doesn't, all right, well back in the day. Other
Speaker 1: than you should I tell her that you want to
Speaker 1: sleep with her? My would I'm just kidding. She find it.
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm talking about. You, well, do
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I do know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about, And I think it depends on the person.
Speaker 1: I don't think we can we can paint the entire
Speaker 1: female gender as being aware or unawares. I think they
Speaker 1: have definitely seen some ladies in their time, you know,
Speaker 1: use the sexual attraction to their advantage and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, we're just friends. Were not, but they knew.
Speaker 1: But I've also seen plenty of women who were just
Speaker 1: like wait what because I just thought we were just vibing.
Speaker 1: I thought your friends were. I think that when Harry
Speaker 1: mat Sally is a really great articulation for this. It's like,
Speaker 1: if you're friends for a certa amount of time, and
Speaker 1: let's say you're a man and woman, and you're both
Speaker 1: heterosexual and and let's say single at the time, I
Speaker 1: just I just have trouble believing that one one of
Speaker 1: those parties isn't attracted to the other. I agree with you,
Speaker 1: I feel like somebody is always attracted. Look, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't. I can't sit here and say
Speaker 1: I have you know, other than people colleagues that I
Speaker 1: work with, I don't have like a girlfriend that I
Speaker 1: called up And I'm like, yeah, of course not not anymore, dude,
Speaker 1: you're married. It's inappropriate. But I'm saying back in the day,
Speaker 1: now I wanted to sleep with them. Yeah, that's honest.
Speaker 1: That's that's the honest to goodness you back in the day,
Speaker 1: if I had a long way around the block to
Speaker 1: get to that. But back in the day, if I
Speaker 1: had a friend and she was a girl, yeah, and
Speaker 1: she was attractive and you were attracted to her, she
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily even have to be the hottest person on
Speaker 1: the Listen. Friends, it's not about it's not about looks.
Speaker 1: It's also about how the person you know makes you laugh,
Speaker 1: and how they make you feel and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: All of that goes into what's what's attractive to you?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like Zach, you aren't the
Speaker 1: most beautiful man on the planet, but if you were
Speaker 1: a female talking about female, we would got married. You
Speaker 1: would have got married. I have the weirdest boner right now.
Speaker 1: All right, should we get back to the episode. I
Speaker 1: should probably take a break to take a break. I
Speaker 1: gotta cool down, I gotta take a It's been brought
Speaker 1: to my attention that Um, when we come back from
Speaker 1: break Dan, that you've chosen the section of the song
Speaker 1: that's the old one without them, and but before you
Speaker 1: correct it. I've had people tell me on Instagram they
Speaker 1: like it because they know it's not going to be
Speaker 1: there and they do themselves to the song. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: So you might be saying you did that on purpose.
Speaker 1: And I find it amazing that the MM is so
Speaker 1: important to everyone. I get it, I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it. It's amazing to me that without it, some
Speaker 1: of you get very upset. Well, I like our fan
Speaker 1: our fan participation. I gotta tell you, they weigh in passionately, passionately.
Speaker 1: You know, they were talking about today. Someone asked me
Speaker 1: when you guys gonna do merch? And I said, oh,
Speaker 1: it's funny. We were just kind of shooting the ship
Speaker 1: about that. What do you guys want? And I had
Speaker 1: like dozens and dozens of people saying they want Donald
Speaker 1: on a beach towel. I would love to have you
Speaker 1: on a beach towel. It's that episode. People. Well, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't mean stop no, I moved on from the homeoroticism.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you're a cute face on a beach
Speaker 1: towel would be delightful. Or a mug. I was thinking
Speaker 1: a mug. That's your face, right, and then when you
Speaker 1: pour hot water and it changes to my face, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1: J Well you like that, right, that's hilarious. That's probably
Speaker 1: gonna cost a lot of money. Yeah, that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Most most podcasts. I didn't realize from podcasts
Speaker 1: like merch was important, but I guess a lot of
Speaker 1: podcasts sell like mugs and T shirts and then when
Speaker 1: they I know. But when they add when I heard
Speaker 1: ask us, what do you guys want to sell that? Like,
Speaker 1: Donald were like, mugs, the change color tells tick is
Speaker 1: like the most elaborate ship. They were like, well, we
Speaker 1: were thinking mugs. Were thinking maybe like a pen? How
Speaker 1: about like a button like that says fake doctor's real
Speaker 1: friends on it. How about a button. I do like
Speaker 1: the idea of T shirts and stuff like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have a very funny I just have funny. Ice was
Speaker 1: laughing about funny merch ideas. I guess it's a T
Speaker 1: shirt or a mug. Okay, I have a question, let's
Speaker 1: get back to the show. I have a question. Is
Speaker 1: it is it asking me to sing from Pipping? Because
Speaker 1: I'm prepared? I warmed I was going to go into pipping.
Speaker 1: But we can go into pipping after everything has its seas.
Speaker 1: Hunt ahead, you want to go into now? It was
Speaker 1: my audition song when I was a child. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, Zach Brath is heavily into
Speaker 1: musical theater. He's so heavily into musical not really anymore,
Speaker 1: but go ahead. He's so heavy or he so heavily
Speaker 1: into musical theater when he was a kid, he went
Speaker 1: away to camp theater camp that was musical theater camp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: called stage door Manor and my father. My father said,
Speaker 1: as I was packing for musical theater camp, he said, well,
Speaker 1: I I guess you don't need to bring a mint
Speaker 1: a baseball mit. I was like, no, Dad, but hand
Speaker 1: hand me over my my bend nine makeup kit because
Speaker 1: we're gonna work on underry. We're gonna work on how
Speaker 1: to do southern freckles. So because of that, when was

Speaker 1: Who's he playing? It's Alma. It's Alma's Delivery. Like the
Speaker 1: Alma's Delivery has a little bit of like, how dare
Speaker 1: you imply that my nephew is not the lead bit
Speaker 1: Pippen in the In the original broad You're not gonna
Speaker 1: know this, are you? Was played by Ben Vereen in
Speaker 1: my career, No, No, the very good, very good funk
Speaker 1: up and thank you for asking. The original Pippen was
Speaker 1: played by Michael Weston's father, John Rubinstein. Wow. For those
Speaker 1: who don't know, Michael Weston um played private dancer on Scrubs,
Speaker 1: and he was in my film Garden Stadium. He was
Speaker 1: in my film Wish I was here. He's a wonderful actor.

Speaker 1: so join us come and wasting our two dude Lee
Speaker 1: do Illusion. So it's a really it's a really great show, um.
Speaker 1: And it's about a guy looking for trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who he wants to be. And it's very seventies
Speaker 1: and very sexual. And I think Bob Fossey uh choreographed
Speaker 1: in and uh. Anyway, So when I was a kid
Speaker 1: auditioning for musicals like musical theater camp, I would do
Speaker 1: one of pip In songs was this corner of the sky.
Speaker 1: Everything has its season, everything has its time. Show me
Speaker 1: a reason, and I'll show you a rhyme. Right pretty song. Wait,
Speaker 1: let me get to the chorus for you don't pour us.
Speaker 1: Get to the chorus. Do you remember it? Hold on,
Speaker 1: shut up, Rivers belong with, they can ramble, Eagles belong
Speaker 1: with Eagles, Eagles Eagles, eagles belong with, they can fly.
Speaker 1: I've got to be where my spirit can run free.
Speaker 1: Gotta find my corner of the guy Dan big round?
Speaker 1: Can you do? Thunderous applause there? So, yeah, I did
Speaker 1: go to theater camp. I loved it. Um It's actually
Speaker 1: what started my acting career. And uh, you know it
Speaker 1: was like you going to that that fame school. How
Speaker 1: did you find out about theater camp? That's the question.
Speaker 1: Like I didn't want to go to you know, I
Speaker 1: was my dad was doing community theater and he's a lawyer,
Speaker 1: but his hobby was he was always in the place
Speaker 1: and he was amazing. He was you know, you you
Speaker 1: knew my dad. He was charming and funny and he
Speaker 1: was always always got the leads. So I would go
Speaker 1: as a little kid and you know, eight years old
Speaker 1: and watch my dad in the local play be the
Speaker 1: lead and make everybody laugh. And I was like I
Speaker 1: told you this. I was like, I want to be this,
Speaker 1: this is a job, like I want to be a
Speaker 1: part of this. And then the normal camp. Again, normal
Speaker 1: camps had so much to do with like sports. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like exciting me. And my parents were like, you know,
Speaker 1: there are theater camps, and I was like, go on
Speaker 1: and uh. I went to one called Bravo first, and
Speaker 1: then that one closed down, and then I went to
Speaker 1: a stage Row which is still alive and very very
Speaker 1: much alive. It's like the most popular one. At twelve eighteen.
Speaker 1: When I say to Elliott, I'm sorry, but you had
Speaker 1: your chance with me, I literally said out loud, like
Speaker 1: I told you. I've been writing down my my my
Speaker 1: l o ls. I literally wrote down like that was
Speaker 1: so fucked up to say that, And not only was
Speaker 1: it fucked up, but it was just I mean, it's
Speaker 1: totally fucked up, but it's so below the belt, dude.
Speaker 1: It's who would say that. I mean, it's such a
Speaker 1: dicky thing to say. And even if she's not even
Speaker 1: if she's not jealous, you know what she turns out
Speaker 1: to be at the end. What a dick dude, right,
Speaker 1: What a dick j D was such a dick, but
Speaker 1: it worked. Sucked up thing is that it works. But
Speaker 1: let's not get ahead of ourselves. Fifty two Cox knows
Speaker 1: your name, first time he ever knows its. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: calls you Turk. He goes your name is Turk. That's right,
Speaker 1: so right, right right, That's how he finds out I'm Turky.
Speaker 1: Your turk? Got it? When you show up? When you
Speaker 1: show up to the surgical consult? Do you remember this?
Speaker 1: But do you remember it? You remember how I couldn't
Speaker 1: get surgical consult right? And so I wrote the song
Speaker 1: did someone call for a surgical consult? And I did
Speaker 1: that for like twenty minutes before we sho this episode.
Speaker 1: For this episode, because there was a tongue twister surgical consult.
Speaker 1: Not only that, I just couldn't put together surgical consolet like,
Speaker 1: I walked in the room a couple of times and
Speaker 1: it was like, did somebody call for a And I
Speaker 1: didn't know what a surgical consult was? And so because
Speaker 1: I didn't know what a surgical consult was, I couldn't fat.
Speaker 1: I couldn't put it together in my brain. So did
Speaker 1: someone explain to you what a surgical consult was? No?
Speaker 1: I just sang a song. See that's an interesting see
Speaker 1: Donald has uh, your way of learning would be like,
Speaker 1: I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna turn that
Speaker 1: into a song, and that's how you learned it. And
Speaker 1: that's what I did. Yeah, I remember, I remember the
Speaker 1: That was one of the first times in the show
Speaker 1: where I was like, I'm costing the crew all of
Speaker 1: this time right now because I can't get this line right.
Speaker 1: I went home and I know I studied this ship,
Speaker 1: but for some reason, this this word sounds foreign to me,
Speaker 1: and so because it sounds foreign to me, I can't
Speaker 1: deliver it the way I want to deliver it. And
Speaker 1: so I sang it over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: And when I finally felt like I could throw it
Speaker 1: away and it wasn't something that I had to think about.
Speaker 1: No problem. That's good. That's a good trick. It's always
Speaker 1: good to have these little devices. Yeah, well, we need them.
Speaker 1: I have a device that I learned where if you're
Speaker 1: trying to remember someone's name, you picture someone that you
Speaker 1: know from your past who has that name in their
Speaker 1: exact position and and and then you can you'll always
Speaker 1: remember the person's name. Does that work? Yes? Okay, tell
Speaker 1: you try it. If you're listening, you really got I
Speaker 1: gotta remember this guy's name. I want you to pick
Speaker 1: someone from your history. And let's say they're a barista
Speaker 1: at the Starbucks you go through or whatever, and you
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, I've known this guy.
Speaker 1: I gotta remember. Well they have name tax doesn account,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, someone who you're like,
Speaker 1: I really want to remember this person name. Picture someone
Speaker 1: from your past. The weird and more eccentric, the better
Speaker 1: in that exact spot, and then it'll lock in and
Speaker 1: he'll always remember their name. I have played myself the
Speaker 1: way j D played hisself when he was like when
Speaker 1: he went home that night and he put roses on
Speaker 1: the bed. Oh dude. I remember one time. I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure if it was a definite thing, but this
Speaker 1: young lady who I was dating at the time, and
Speaker 1: we were pretty young, so you know, it took. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like we were having sex, so we were leading
Speaker 1: up to that. I she was like, yeah, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: come over, and I was like, I'm gonna be romantic.
Speaker 1: And I went to Pizza Hut because that's what I
Speaker 1: had money for, and I got two personal pan pizzas,
Speaker 1: and I put it on the floor in my room
Speaker 1: at my mom's house. And I took the blanket off
Speaker 1: of my bed and put it on the floor. First
Speaker 1: of all, I cleaned my room also the blanket. I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about age, ages, ages and ages
Speaker 1: is important at this point, important at this And I
Speaker 1: put a blanket down. I got a brick to hold
Speaker 1: the blanket down in the middle of the blanket and
Speaker 1: put candles on the brick, lit the candles, set up
Speaker 1: the pizzas with the soft drinks, and waited for her
Speaker 1: to come over. And she didn't come. And when I
Speaker 1: looked back, I remember calling her and be like, well,
Speaker 1: you didn't come over, and she was like, I told you, well,
Speaker 1: maybe i'd come over. And I took them maybe as
Speaker 1: she's coming over. And that young woman's name Rihanna. And
Speaker 1: that young woman's name was Beyonce Knowles. I I once
Speaker 1: really liked the girl when I was living in Manhattan
Speaker 1: out of college. And I'm not much of a cook,
Speaker 1: but I asked my stepfather, who's a really good cook,
Speaker 1: for a recipe to impress this girl. And so I
Speaker 1: spent the whole day. This was the first date I
Speaker 1: knew her though she was I knew her, but this
Speaker 1: was the first time. I was asking around and we
Speaker 1: were gonna meet at my apartment, and then I was
Speaker 1: going to take her to Circus Lay. So I spent
Speaker 1: money on like circus light tickets. I didn't have, you know,
Speaker 1: I was a p a. I didn't have much money,
Speaker 1: and I spent the whole day. I was so excited.
Speaker 1: She came over and she was so upset, piste off
Speaker 1: about her day and like rambling about her day and
Speaker 1: yeah this happened, and my boss was She barely even
Speaker 1: like acknowledged the fact that I had spent this entire
Speaker 1: day making her dinner. Did she well, did you say
Speaker 1: I spent the entire day? Maybe no. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be like I didn't want to rub it in,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I made you dinner, like this
Speaker 1: happens all the time when you're dating me, and and
Speaker 1: you eat any of it. I think she nibbled on
Speaker 1: it and was unimpressed. And I never really made anyone
Speaker 1: food again. Did you take her to start? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: did I, but yeah, I took a stark to Sili
Speaker 1: and then I think, you know, she had a good time,
Speaker 1: and I think I got friend zoned and then you
Speaker 1: got friend zoned, So there you go. And since then
Speaker 1: I never made anyone dinner again. Right here, let's take
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Guys.
Speaker 1: We're gonna let the fan in now. Oh, what's up, guys,
Speaker 1: real friends, Let's Joel do a formal introduction now that
Speaker 1: we're all here. We have a Manuel still. He works
Speaker 1: at a children's hospitals. Come on, talk on the show.
Speaker 1: That's that's so amazing man. Thank you for being I
Speaker 1: imagine you're you're out there being a front line worker
Speaker 1: as we speak. Yes, yes, yes, um and um. You
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't um, I'd be remiss if I had
Speaker 1: an introduced my roommate who also works in the hospital.
Speaker 1: He's an administrator to be a hospital system. Wow, you
Speaker 1: guys are the perfect guest for the show, Joeled, were
Speaker 1: good producing. You've got some solid guests. So what's it
Speaker 1: been like these days in a children's hospital? Because you know,
Speaker 1: we hear out in the world that children aren't getting
Speaker 1: affected as much, but then, of course now we're hearing
Speaker 1: in New York some are and what's it? What's it
Speaker 1: like these days. Yeah, so, um, it's funny. So during
Speaker 1: the height of the COVID epidemic, you know, we weren't
Speaker 1: get as many kids, um at least not like so
Speaker 1: I work in the I See you in the childrens hospital.
Speaker 1: We weren't getting as much in the I See you.
Speaker 1: But since UM, but now lately we've been getting you
Speaker 1: know what they've been talking about then use the whole
Speaker 1: just that make inflammatory response like post COVID type of things.
Speaker 1: So that's like very interesting to see because you know,
Speaker 1: weren't seeing a lot and people were saying kids weren't
Speaker 1: getting affected as much, and now we're seeing them come
Speaker 1: in with all these different um symptoms and UM. So
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a learning experience, but we have
Speaker 1: seen something similar. It's similar to like that they're talking
Speaker 1: about that we have an idea of how to like
Speaker 1: treat it. But um, but it's just interesting to see
Speaker 1: that it's popping up now. You know, our kids making
Speaker 1: fullard I know there are something that didn't make recoveries,
Speaker 1: but our kids making full recoveries. Like you hear about
Speaker 1: patients that get COVID and you know, their bodies have
Speaker 1: been pretty much destroyed by the virus. Yeah, what about
Speaker 1: what the children? Are the children making the recovery with
Speaker 1: this new thing. Yeah, so thankfully, Um, most of the
Speaker 1: patients that I've taken care of personally have recovered. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there are some cases that I'm
Speaker 1: sure have not gone our way, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: from what I've been seeing personally, like, our patients have
Speaker 1: been recovering and a lot of them have been doing
Speaker 1: pretty well. When you went to nursing school, and you
Speaker 1: obviously could choose any area, you chose, what I would
Speaker 1: imagine is the most hardcore thing being an I see
Speaker 1: you nurse at a pediatric hospital. I mean you must
Speaker 1: have days where you're I mean, you must have days
Speaker 1: where you're just emotionally crushed. So I I chose pediatrics
Speaker 1: because when I was younger, I was you know, hospitalized
Speaker 1: for a bit, and so I remember, like, you know,
Speaker 1: all the nurses that took care of me, and so
Speaker 1: when I became a nurse, I kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: give back and take care of those patients. Um. And
Speaker 1: it is very you know, emotionally heavy sometimes, but you know,
Speaker 1: I work with such amazing people and you could always
Speaker 1: rely on them, and then I got right here, who's
Speaker 1: in a health field, so we could always talk to him, um,
Speaker 1: and I got and I just let I have a
Speaker 1: good support network of people that I could always talk
Speaker 1: to and rely on if I'm feeling down. And you know,
Speaker 1: thankfully we have more good days than bad days, and
Speaker 1: so you kind of rely on those to kind of
Speaker 1: get you through. Do you feel like the bad days
Speaker 1: are behind you right now? As far as far as
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with, I thought so. But with this
Speaker 1: new you know, Kawasaki thing, we're definitely seeing more pace.
Speaker 1: That's like, you know, I See You. We're having um
Speaker 1: more of those kind of patients in there, but thankfully
Speaker 1: a lot of them are doing good, so I I
Speaker 1: remain hopeful still. So right well, I mean, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, I've spent some time in I See You
Speaker 1: because I had a very sick sister and a very
Speaker 1: sick father. And you know, when these I C nurses,
Speaker 1: they're they're like superheroes when you when you when you
Speaker 1: have someone who's just so responsive and so on it,
Speaker 1: you want to hug them because you know, by the
Speaker 1: time you're in I See You, you know things are
Speaker 1: pretty dire and yeah, and so I'm virtually hugging you
Speaker 1: right now. You're getting a virtual COVID proof hug. I'm
Speaker 1: doing it. It looks like I'm saying, what conduct is
Speaker 1: a hug? What kind of forever hug? Oh god? All right?
Speaker 1: Do you guys have a question for for us? We
Speaker 1: were that's what we're here to do, to answer any
Speaker 1: additions he's got. He's got a book. You know, we
Speaker 1: have some people, we have some people, we have some
Speaker 1: people come on Emmanual and we asked him, you have
Speaker 1: a question the whole point of coming on the show.
Speaker 1: And they're like, what what now? Now? Now Emmanuel pulled
Speaker 1: out like Manul pulled out, Emmanuel pulled out a binder.
Speaker 1: We go ahead. All right. So I know you guys
Speaker 1: have talked about why you guys are doing the show,
Speaker 1: bringing yourselves into the character and making it a little
Speaker 1: bit easier to play. But one thing I wanted to
Speaker 1: is there anything about the character that you played that
Speaker 1: you brought into your own personal lives? Is there anything
Speaker 1: about Turk that I brought into my own personal life? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I brought j D. That's the best answer, actually, But
Speaker 1: I brought out like think of like when you're adjusting
Speaker 1: a picture and you can crank the saturation. Brought out
Speaker 1: Donald's feminine side. You did that, you did because when
Speaker 1: I first said Donald, he had a lot of this
Speaker 1: love of musicals and being silly and shipped inside of him.
Speaker 1: But he was his front was like yo, yo yo,
Speaker 1: let school play basketball. And now looking at me's fucking singing,
Speaker 1: pipping left and right. You know, I went to school
Speaker 1: with a bunch of theater kids and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I remember being like those suckers, a bunch of
Speaker 1: theater kids, right, And now I looked back at it,
Speaker 1: I was like, I wish I was a theater They
Speaker 1: used to sing all these songs and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to sing the songs. But you know,
Speaker 1: I was a sucker. That was just a sucker. And
Speaker 1: now I look at it and I'm like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: so there is that. There is that. Uh. A lot
Speaker 1: of the things that j D and Turk did as
Speaker 1: best friends opened me up to be way more comfortable
Speaker 1: around men than I was before. Are yeah, And not
Speaker 1: to say that I wasn't comfortable around men, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's different, it's way different. Now. You know what you're
Speaker 1: more comfortable just being whoever I mean. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're saying is
Speaker 1: you're more comfortable just being whoever you are. I think
Speaker 1: as young as young men, we have to put up
Speaker 1: we always put up all these uh you know, obviously
Speaker 1: I can't speak for the for the women's experience, but
Speaker 1: as a young man, you feel like you have to
Speaker 1: put up all these fronts like I'm tough, and I'm
Speaker 1: straight and and uh and anything you did that was
Speaker 1: likely slightly effeminate. You know, high school kids and middle
Speaker 1: school kids were like, oh, you're so fucking gay and
Speaker 1: all this ship. And I think what what I felt
Speaker 1: with with what with scrubs and brought out in me?
Speaker 1: And I think Donald was like, all right, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna be like whoever I am and be that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I and I knew that it was an issue for
Speaker 1: other people. When I made a comment when playing basketball,
Speaker 1: I made a comment like, you know, like I said
Speaker 1: something and silly like my nipples are hard, and the
Speaker 1: dude that I was playing basketball it was like, yo, man,
Speaker 1: come on, man, man, what what what What's going on
Speaker 1: with that? And I was like, oh, you have you
Speaker 1: are not comfortable. You have your own issues. My issue,
Speaker 1: that's your issue. That's a good answer to I don't
Speaker 1: know if I get top Donald's answer, but I will say,
Speaker 1: and this is not just because you're a hero. I
Speaker 1: see you, nurse. I think I brought full on respect
Speaker 1: for for what, even even though we were faking it,
Speaker 1: what it's like to work in this profession, and such
Speaker 1: a respect for for people who work in the medical
Speaker 1: field and how hard it is. And Donald and I
Speaker 1: had the luxury of pretending to be doctors and getting
Speaker 1: the fun of of pretending to save lives and pretending
Speaker 1: to come to the rescue and uh and now you know,
Speaker 1: as a younger man when we're doing the show, I
Speaker 1: didn't have that many experiences. But then after living many
Speaker 1: more years and had more life experiences where I was
Speaker 1: just pleading with medical professionals to save important lives. To me,
Speaker 1: I think I had so much more respect, and especially
Speaker 1: now with this COVID insanity and and people fighting back
Speaker 1: against medical professionals. I don't know if you saw that
Speaker 1: amazing shot of the nurse standing in the in the
Speaker 1: in the crosswalk when when there was like an anti
Speaker 1: COVID lock up protest. It reminded me of It reminded
Speaker 1: me of the of the guy standing in front of
Speaker 1: the tank. Yeah, and I just thought, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have so much respect and love for for nurses
Speaker 1: and doctors and e m t s and paramedics. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I wanted to be a paramedic.
Speaker 1: I thought there's nothing more badass about flying on the
Speaker 1: street and aniulants to come to the I agree with
Speaker 1: that too. I take my health way more serious now,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Before I was very afraid
Speaker 1: to go to the hospital. There was something scary about
Speaker 1: going to the hospital, especially as an African American male.
Speaker 1: It seems like, you know, a out of my relatives
Speaker 1: and everything. I didn't go to the hospital until it
Speaker 1: was the last resort. It's the last thing that I
Speaker 1: I've tried every home remedy I could do. Disinfection isn't
Speaker 1: going away. I'm gonna fight it. I'm gonna fight it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight it. Holy cow, I can't feel my leg.
Speaker 1: I think I should go to the hospital. Now you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think while making scrubs, it
Speaker 1: became all right, I don't need to be afraid of
Speaker 1: because it's not They're not gonna kill me if I go.
Speaker 1: I might die if I don't go, though, so let
Speaker 1: me let me take care of what's going on, uh
Speaker 1: with me as soon as it pops up. And then
Speaker 1: I became a hypochondriact. I was at the hospital like
Speaker 1: every five second. If I had a you know, if
Speaker 1: my nose was running, I was like going to the
Speaker 1: doctor real quick. I don't always thinks he has the
Speaker 1: worst thing. He's that guy. I like, dude, it's a zi,
Speaker 1: it's a tumor. They say, better to be safe than sorry, Right,
Speaker 1: all right? Do you guys have another question for the
Speaker 1: legendary Donald phase on? So Dr Cox was your mentor
Speaker 1: on the show? Do you guys have like a mentor
Speaker 1: in real life during your acting careers? Very good question.
Speaker 1: So many, whether they've realized they were my mentors or not.
Speaker 1: I have so many mentors. Bill Lawrence has been a
Speaker 1: mentor to me. He taught me how to tell a joke.
Speaker 1: I feel like I might have always been funny, you know,
Speaker 1: but there's a process to telling a good joke. And
Speaker 1: when you stumble on words that are meaningful for the punchline,
Speaker 1: it makes it so the joke doesn't work. Uh, and
Speaker 1: so because of that, Uh, I've been very lucky to
Speaker 1: work with someone like Bill Lawrence, who really taught me
Speaker 1: the anatomy of a joke and how to tell a joke.
Speaker 1: He's one person, Denzel Shington my whole life, whether he
Speaker 1: knows it or not. After working with him and remember
Speaker 1: the Titans to uh. You know, he's always been a
Speaker 1: hero of of mine and also a mentor. You know
Speaker 1: his if you listen to interviews with Denzel Washington, and
Speaker 1: you know, he's just a very deep mind and a
Speaker 1: very very good actor. And so he's one of those
Speaker 1: people that I've always looked up to. And when I
Speaker 1: finally got to meet him, he's definitely a hero and
Speaker 1: a mentor. When you were in that movie, did he
Speaker 1: ever say any He gave one tip one time. Mostly
Speaker 1: he led by example. He you know, he was very
Speaker 1: hard worker, you know what I mean, and comes to
Speaker 1: work prepared and to get you prepared, he'll run lines
Speaker 1: with you over and over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: right so that when the camera rolls you're ready to play.
Speaker 1: But he gave me one bit of advice because we
Speaker 1: were it's a bunch of young men were all in
Speaker 1: our early twenties, and we're messing around on and where
Speaker 1: you know, it's a movie about football players, and we're
Speaker 1: doing you know, we're giving each other elbows and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: pretending that we're punching each other in the face and
Speaker 1: everything like that because we're all young men. And he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I did this movie Glory, and
Speaker 1: I was like, go on, and he was like, there
Speaker 1: was somebody in the cast who used to do what
Speaker 1: you guys are doing right now. And I remember him
Speaker 1: looking at me because I was very excessive about you know, one,
Speaker 1: I played around way too much. Still to this day.
Speaker 1: I play around way too much when working. And he
Speaker 1: was like, and this dude would play around and he
Speaker 1: would pretend to punch people in the face and act
Speaker 1: like he was gonna you know, and he would be joking.
Speaker 1: And one day he slipped and hit an extra in
Speaker 1: the face, somebody who was you know, been around the
Speaker 1: set and everything like that, and laughed it off and
Speaker 1: he punched this guy in the face accidentally, but still
Speaker 1: punched this guy in the face, and the guy started
Speaker 1: crying and taking off his you know, jazz get because
Speaker 1: he knew I'm about to kick this man's ass and
Speaker 1: get fired. This is the end of me ever being
Speaker 1: in this movie. And I've been here for a while
Speaker 1: and I like these people. I'm about to kick this
Speaker 1: dude's ask though, because he punched me in the face.
Speaker 1: And the guy apologizes and apologize. It doesn't need to
Speaker 1: go there, brother, No please, no, no, no, let's not
Speaker 1: do this. Let's you know. And finally, you know, they
Speaker 1: calmed the guy down and it's all right, don't worry,
Speaker 1: let's work this out. But he was like, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys are playing around so damn much. Somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: catch a fence to this and get hurt and you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to talk him back. So my
Speaker 1: advice to you all, as he's looking at me, is
Speaker 1: to shut this ship down. Stop doing this. And I
Speaker 1: remember being like, you're absolutely right, because if I punched
Speaker 1: that dude in the face accidentally, he's not gonna he's
Speaker 1: not gonna care if it was an accident or not.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be upset and want to break me up.
Speaker 1: That's amazing story. And I just love that. Denzel was like,
Speaker 1: so I did this film glory. Um, I would say
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, the first answer is obviously Bill.
Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence who created the show. He taught me so
Speaker 1: much about acting and directing and how to the business.
Speaker 1: You know, Bill's some people are good writers, but they're
Speaker 1: not savvy about the business and how to navigate the business.
Speaker 1: And Bill, Todd, Donald and I both a lot about
Speaker 1: how to navigate Hollywood and how to navigate the industry.
Speaker 1: And you're never on a job for nine years, so
Speaker 1: it was like it was like grad school. We learned
Speaker 1: so much over the course of nine years and a
Speaker 1: lot of and to this day, when I have a
Speaker 1: script that I'm writing, I gave it to Bill. When
Speaker 1: I have a first edit of a movie I'm directing,
Speaker 1: I showed Bill and he comes in and and gives
Speaker 1: me really tough notes and uh and good notes. So
Speaker 1: Bill first and foremost, and then I guess my my
Speaker 1: my version of the Denzel things. I just got to
Speaker 1: work with Robert de Niro in the film, and he's
Speaker 1: a he's a huge hero mind. And just watching the
Speaker 1: way he worked and how humble he was and uh
Speaker 1: and how he I just just being on set with
Speaker 1: a legend like that, I felt like I was getting
Speaker 1: I was becoming a better actor, and there were handful
Speaker 1: of little things he did that I like, Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try and do that next time. And and uh,
Speaker 1: and he's just a huge inspiration to me. I love
Speaker 1: I love that man, Donald. I'd give him another question
Speaker 1: if you really they're they're very sorry, we're going along.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it short because this show people don't want
Speaker 1: to hear an hour. And this might be a little zach.
Speaker 1: It's like week three months into COVID and uh, the
Speaker 1: George hare is going extra long, So I need to
Speaker 1: know your shampoo and conditioner. Well, here's the trick. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something that some people, and some people
Speaker 1: are gonna think it's nasty, But don't wash your ship.
Speaker 1: Let it get dirty. Wait, shut up, baldy. You are
Speaker 1: not allowed to wane in this conversation. I might not
Speaker 1: have a lot of hair, but I have hair number
Speaker 1: one number two. When he said ship, he meant don't
Speaker 1: wash your hair. Oh yeah, and don't do you guys
Speaker 1: use a washcloth on the shower. And we're having a
Speaker 1: debate on the I used to use Yeah, because you're
Speaker 1: a black man. Why why white people don't use washcloths.
Speaker 1: Apparently speaking of that one thing we noticed we just
Speaker 1: watched in the show, everyone got shoes on in the house,
Speaker 1: sleeping the shoes on. What's up? I never slept with
Speaker 1: my shoes on in the show. In the show because
Speaker 1: we just watch you make out with U and I
Speaker 1: had shoes on. No, not you will. I think in
Speaker 1: the senior you talk about this episode that you that
Speaker 1: we watched. Yeah, if Sarah Chalk throws you to the
Speaker 1: bed and mounts you, you're not gonna be thinking about
Speaker 1: your sneakers. Bro. Alright, Know, my hair, I I don't
Speaker 1: wash a lot because I feel when I washed it,
Speaker 1: I don't like the way it looks. But when I
Speaker 1: let it have its natural juices, it has a nice
Speaker 1: that's from coming to America. Dude, would you put in
Speaker 1: your hair? Nothing? I just ket juices and berries. But
Speaker 1: ultre alright. On that note, we're gonna go. Thank you
Speaker 1: guys so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for
Speaker 1: thank you. Our pleasure, our pleasure. Wait, lastly, like we
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta end this fucking thing. It's going so long.
Speaker 1: But I do listen, I'm gonna get into your favor
Speaker 1: I know, bro, I'm gonna get right into it. Do
Speaker 1: you think I'm gonna miss your favorite topic. I'm just
Speaker 1: putting it out there now. This episode has a Phantom
Speaker 1: Menace dis in it, and I want to know you
Speaker 1: and Joel Mr and Mrs A Star Wars thoughts on
Speaker 1: the Phantom Menace this. I don't like that they that
Speaker 1: they dissed the Phantom Menace, even though at one point
Speaker 1: I was one who didn't. I didn't appreciate the Phantom
Speaker 1: Menace as much as I should have. Dave Felony, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the king that he is when it comes to Star
Speaker 1: Wars talks about on this new uh Mandalorian documentary series
Speaker 1: that they got gone, which I've been watching. It's really
Speaker 1: As a director, you're gonna love it. You know. I'm
Speaker 1: friends with not to name drop, but I'm friends with
Speaker 1: Debra Chow who is one of the main directors of Mandalorian,
Speaker 1: and he was She was telling me. She's like, Zack,
Speaker 1: you gotta come see how we shoot the show, and
Speaker 1: he's unlike anything you've ever seen. Dude, if you go,
Speaker 1: please take me. Isn't she directing like all of these
Speaker 1: is She's directing every episode of Obi Wan. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: can you just tell her you have a friend. She's
Speaker 1: the ultimate cool kid. I believe that they are doing
Speaker 1: the Obi Wan's in the UK. I would live in
Speaker 1: the I will travel, um. But she was telling me,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna watch the documentary because I've been hearing
Speaker 1: about it that that Favreau took this technology that he
Speaker 1: developed for Jungle Book and the other films and kind
Speaker 1: of took it to the next level. It's amazing. Anyway, Valone,
Speaker 1: he's talking about how in The Phantom Menace that movie
Speaker 1: sets off everything, and I was like, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: it sets off everything. It's episode one. He's like, but
Speaker 1: in the in the documentary he's like, no, if Qui
Speaker 1: gon Jin would have won the fight against Darth Maul,
Speaker 1: Anakin Skywalker's path as a Jedi would have been way better.
Speaker 1: Uh then if then what he was given because obi
Speaker 1: Wan didn't look I know, it's got I just wish
Speaker 1: the fans could see what I'm looking at. I'm totally
Speaker 1: zoned out already. And Joel is furiously nodding, like Donald
Speaker 1: is a preacher and she's in the choir. But look,
Speaker 1: obi Wan Kenobi was never a father figure for Anakin
Speaker 1: Skywalker and that was something that he was missing his
Speaker 1: whole life, you know what I mean. He was born
Speaker 1: from the Force, his mother wasn't with anyone. There was
Speaker 1: no male that raised him. And if Quigan would have
Speaker 1: won that far, if that father figure would have been
Speaker 1: in place, and he would have grown to be a
Speaker 1: better Jedi, and not necessarily so, when Quigan dies, that's
Speaker 1: Anakin's first failure. Not his on purpose, but that's the
Speaker 1: first thing that fails in his life. Then he loses
Speaker 1: his mother, then he loses his wife, and now he's
Speaker 1: freaking Darth Vader. And when I heard that, I had
Speaker 1: already had an appreciation for The Phantom Menace. But that
Speaker 1: makes the movie twenty times even better. Now, all right, well,
Speaker 1: if you, if you're if you happen to still be listening. Um,
Speaker 1: none of this is gonna make THEO. I think it
Speaker 1: should because there's a lot of die hard fans just
Speaker 1: like you two, and they'll probably love this. Star Wars
Speaker 1: and Sex. I like that Star Wars and Sex are
Speaker 1: married together in this episode. Okay, well, let's wrap this
Speaker 1: episode up by talking about the big Elliott J. D. Kiss.
Speaker 1: It's very exciting. It was I thought, Um, I was
Speaker 1: I thought it was romantic and well written and well
Speaker 1: shot and uh and and granted very well performed. Um
Speaker 1: I thought, I think. I think right off the bat
Speaker 1: you could see that Elliott and j D had chemistry
Speaker 1: and um and it was it was. It was romantic
Speaker 1: and sweet and I liked it. Yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 1: say so far, this is one of my favorite episodes
Speaker 1: that we've watched. And it's not necessarily the funniest episode,
Speaker 1: but it kind of reminds me of John Hughes movie.
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of, you know, the movies
Speaker 1: that I grew up on, where the nerd in the
Speaker 1: movie is chasing after this young lady this whole time,
Speaker 1: right and his best friend is right there next to him,
Speaker 1: his female best friend is right there next to him,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't realize that his best friend is the
Speaker 1: is the better is the better choice for him? And uh,
Speaker 1: He's chasing after something that seems to be the right
Speaker 1: idea and then at the end of it he realizes,
Speaker 1: oh that was that wasn't that she wasn't what I
Speaker 1: was looking for, And the best friend goes, I know
Speaker 1: because I am Yeah, and I like that, Sarah, and
Speaker 1: I like that Elliott made the move that I thought
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool that she was the one
Speaker 1: who stood up and and like went for it, like
Speaker 1: she was the one who said no because I did.
Speaker 1: I did. I was jealous. I was jealous. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then uh, you know it's it's it's meant to be
Speaker 1: a little bit of an edit. But she she looks
Speaker 1: like she pushes me down the whole hallway into the bed,
Speaker 1: right like you stumble all the way I did, Like no,
Speaker 1: I did like a fucking matrix, fucking ship down the
Speaker 1: She pushed me like I was Kanu down the whole
Speaker 1: hallway right on that note. Sorry, cut that ship out. Hey,
Speaker 1: that was fun. Yeah, I wanted to tell our fans. Hey,
