Speaker 1: Fingers crossed. Did you do it? Can you hear us?
Speaker 1: And we cannot hear you? Okay, I'm you are so good.
Speaker 1: No way, you nailed it on time one. I don't
Speaker 1: believe it. Oh my god, you guys. She made it.
Speaker 1: She figured it out. It took four seasons, but she
Speaker 1: figured it out. I'm recording. You are incredible. I preconnected
Speaker 1: the earbuds, earbuds, the buds, she connected them to the bluetooth. Wow,
Speaker 1: got the link open. I'm so proud of Donald. Donald's
Speaker 1: gonna have a tear in design. Yo. Donald figured out
Speaker 1: her audio without any help, just my audio. I figured
Speaker 1: out my video. I figured out my lunch. I figured
Speaker 1: out all of the things. You look great. You look great.
Speaker 1: Some thirsty pictures on Instagram, and I've been I've been
Speaker 1: hearting them big thirst to thirsties when you like, you know,
Speaker 1: you look fine and you like I thought you was
Speaker 1: like she was posting sit like the bugs bunny challenge.
Speaker 1: You put out all these thirsty picks, Donald, But Sarah
Speaker 1: occasionally drops fine. I'm like, okay, Zarah, Okay, I did
Speaker 1: not know that's what I was doing. But I will
Speaker 1: try to continue to do Please do it because your fans,
Speaker 1: I'm sure love it and I appreciate it as your
Speaker 1: fake former lover. Well, I feel like I kind of
Speaker 1: like try really like I'll be like, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put something on it, and then I forget,
Speaker 1: and then a month goes by and then like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Um. But mostly I'm just so proud
Speaker 1: in this moment because I feel like Zach texting me
Speaker 1: earlier me is like practice getting online. Three words exactly
Speaker 1: three words, practice getting online. And I was like thinking,
Speaker 1: I was like, I charged the earbuds. I've I don't
Speaker 1: know another grown adult that I would text practice getting online. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's it is. It's it's a mystery.
Speaker 1: But I do feel like there's something that happens when
Speaker 1: you kind of you know, you go back to that,
Speaker 1: you revert to that dynamic, because like I was just
Speaker 1: pouring water and I don't I mean, i feel like
Speaker 1: I've learned where my arms are in space. Anyways, the
Speaker 1: water dumped obviously all over it. I was like, it's
Speaker 1: because I'm about to get on the podcast. You spilt water?
Speaker 1: You spilled water? Did you spill it all over your
Speaker 1: recording device? Ever, the recording devices are all fine, just
Speaker 1: my pants and my socks, so I'm not in socks anymore.
Speaker 1: Socks had to go. You are the clumsies. You cannot
Speaker 1: write this stuff. This stuff, there's never a day. I've
Speaker 1: never been a day since I've known her, and I've
Speaker 1: known her for twenty years, which where it's like, what's up?
Speaker 1: Nothing happened? No, I won't. I have no stories for today.
Speaker 1: Nothing would come back from freaking break with adventures like
Speaker 1: a car almost ran my whole family over. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my dogs almost date my dad. We were in a
Speaker 1: tent around um, Sarah, I want to tell you something.
Speaker 1: We did a big interview for the Washington Post and
Speaker 1: they didn't put in my favorite part where she asked
Speaker 1: us a very good question. She said to Donald and I,
Speaker 1: what is one thing you really see now from watching
Speaker 1: the show back that you didn't fully appreciate back in
Speaker 1: the day. Right away, both of our answers at the
Speaker 1: same time, same answer, would hesitation. We both said, how
Speaker 1: fucking genius, Sarah chalk is. I mean people on the listening,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to know what blushing you're blushing. They're
Speaker 1: not able to see me blushing right now because it's audio,
Speaker 1: but we meant it, Sarah, I really mean that. I
Speaker 1: know Donald as two. You know, when we're doing the show,
Speaker 1: we're so caught up in our own trying to be funny.
Speaker 1: Obviously me, you were funny. We spend so much time together.
Speaker 1: But there's things that I really noticed in hindsight. One
Speaker 1: that we always teased Rob. But even though Rob had
Speaker 1: one line, every time he says it, it's funny, um.
Speaker 1: And the other is you. You're just you're such a
Speaker 1: gifted actress and comedian. That is really nice and thank you,
Speaker 1: And I feel like everything I learned I learned on
Speaker 1: this show. So that's the truth. Congratulations on season two
Speaker 1: of Firefly Lane. Also, that's your second standing up. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of people out there. My wife included, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tea you something right now. My wife included
Speaker 1: with I guess millions of people out there. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: are so excited for season two. Yep. Oh, I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I love doing it. I can't I'm
Speaker 1: so happy we get to do it again. I really Spiller,
Speaker 1: who was one of our favorite directors on this show.
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about him several times he was
Speaker 1: one of the best directors we had. I heard a
Speaker 1: rumor that he's going to be one of your main
Speaker 1: directors on the show this year. I'm so pumped. I'm
Speaker 1: so pumped. I mean when I heard that, obviously there
Speaker 1: was like our core group on Scrubs, and Spiller was
Speaker 1: one of them. And he's such a good director. He's
Speaker 1: also just so chilled, like he's he just sets that
Speaker 1: tone on set of like it's all going to work out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he also has obviously such a knack for comedy.
Speaker 1: Um that, I have one question for you. Are you
Speaker 1: doing the new Psyched movie? I'm not. I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy they're doing another one. I don't like. I
Speaker 1: have problems with it. Would you trade? Sometimes I think
Speaker 1: it's a betrayal. I do agree that it's a betrayal. No,
Speaker 1: I feel I feel it in my heart place writing
Speaker 1: in her place. I feel like I feel like, um yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I couldn't do another one. Maybe
Speaker 1: we should get another famous blonde comedian to do our movie.
Speaker 1: Don't you even think about Kaylee u? I hear she's
Speaker 1: doing even about Okay, Okay, you fine, Okay, bring on
Speaker 1: you can have just bring Becky one, and then I'll

Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I know who you are. Calm down, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, number one, motherfucker number one. We never had her.
Speaker 1: We should have had her do a funny can I know?
Speaker 1: I feel like we talked about it at some point.
Speaker 1: Becky won Slash three when I was two, Slash four.
Speaker 1: I've been a really funny fantasy in there, right, I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, instead, you guys call me second Becky for
Speaker 1: eight years. How's it going up there in Canada? I

Speaker 1: It's we're a little behind the States in terms of
Speaker 1: the roll out of the vaccines. But I just got
Speaker 1: my appointment for my second dose and I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I'm like the one who calls every day, is it time?
Speaker 1: Is it time? Is it my turn? Can I have
Speaker 1: a turn yet? Is it my turn? I was about
Speaker 1: to say, when are you guys going to open back up? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When can you open those borders so we can come
Speaker 1: visit you without a two week quarantine? I got off
Speaker 1: with a roll and they were like, listen, it's one
Speaker 1: day of work, but we need you to two weeks.
Speaker 1: Two weeks, by the way, and IT'SO, no, fucking two weeks.
Speaker 1: Do you know what it is? They put you in
Speaker 1: a hotel and they watch you and you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to leave the hotel room. Yeah, so now is that
Speaker 1: my friend? My friend just did it. My friend just
Speaker 1: did it. She had a balcony she was allowed to
Speaker 1: sit on. But other than that, no outside one. It
Speaker 1: was like one scene, fourteen days quarantine. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going to pass on this. We talked. I was
Speaker 1: like I was totally Randy Jackson that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: note for me, don't. Yeah, we're talking about bringing my
Speaker 1: movie up there. And it was a big note from
Speaker 1: me when I heard about the for real two Weeks
Speaker 1: in a room by myself. No thanks, Wait which one
Speaker 1: you're directing? In my new film I'm directing, We're I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make it in Jersey. I want to make
Speaker 1: New Jersey where it takes place. But you know, when
Speaker 1: you're budgeting a movie, you can't help. Every producer's first
Speaker 1: line is, well, let's explore Canada. And I mean that's
Speaker 1: like you can just that's like the first thing any
Speaker 1: producer is going to say, well, we should look at
Speaker 1: Canada and uh. And then I said, well, I looked
Speaker 1: at the Two Weeks by Myself in an apartment and
Speaker 1: I decided, we're not looking at Canada anymore. Every job,
Speaker 1: my entire life, we should look at Canada. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, Sara, since you're the film dream True, Sarah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: your dreams coming true. Not American actors don't want to
Speaker 1: go there. So you have all the roles for yourself
Speaker 1: and uh, but you you're on a show, don't have
Speaker 1: you can't take any more roles. You already got one.
Speaker 1: Do your movie in Canada. I feel like the quarantine
Speaker 1: is going to be you can cut the all the
Speaker 1: time information for when the quarantine and for Canada's going away. Sarah, Oh,
Speaker 1: let's not. I mean, you know, I make all the decisions.
Speaker 1: I just feel like if you, if you made the
Speaker 1: right calls, you might be able to find out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could. I could find it. I could probably you know,
Speaker 1: pull some strings as well. At what time? When do
Speaker 1: you need it done by? I got it. Well, if
Speaker 1: you could do it by the fifteenth, like the rest,
Speaker 1: Donald will take that part, then I could probably take
Speaker 1: that fifteenth of June. Yeah. Man, we're about to open up.
Speaker 1: America is about to open up a California. I know
Speaker 1: California is fully opened on the fifteen. It's America. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: So I feel like, wait, zb, aren't you directing your
Speaker 1: movie in September? Um, we are scheduled to start principal
Speaker 1: photography mid October. Oh you're gonna be fine. I read that. Um,
Speaker 1: they're gonna potentially have like lift the quarantine for travelers
Speaker 1: who are double vaxed in July. Okay, well, I can't
Speaker 1: only depend on Sarah Chalk heard. I mean it's pretty
Speaker 1: it's pretty reliable. Can you imagine I stay to Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 1: It looks at Morgan so happy to doing the movie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to sit alone in a room
Speaker 1: for two weeks because Sarah was not corrected. Damn mind,
Speaker 1: that's what this is Morgen. Okay, So Jersey instead does
Speaker 1: he say this is Morgan? When he says this is Morgan,
Speaker 1: this is Morgan free this is Morgan Freeman. You know
Speaker 1: my outgoing message? Do I tell you guys that's sorry
Speaker 1: about how he us my outgoing message? Yeah? Did I
Speaker 1: tout on the podcast? No, you didn't, But I had
Speaker 1: it while I was direct him and going in style
Speaker 1: and he and I knew he was wrapped because I'm
Speaker 1: the director. I know when someone's last shot it is.
Speaker 1: But it was early for him. He was surprised, and
Speaker 1: I go, this is your last shot and he goes,
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. And I go, I'm the director.
Speaker 1: I know when someone's last shot is. I I'm the
Speaker 1: one who comes up with the shots. And you're not
Speaker 1: in any of the other ones. You're done and he goes,
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I go make me bet, so
Speaker 1: we bet him and if I won, he had to
Speaker 1: record an outgoing voicemail message on my phone, which I
Speaker 1: of course won because I know what I'm doing, and
Speaker 1: so for the longest time I had Hello, this is
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman. Zach can't come to the phone right now,
Speaker 1: leave a message. If I could have anybody do that
Speaker 1: for me, it would be Tracy Morgan as Brian Fellows.
Speaker 1: I'm Brad Fellow, Dona fhaz On geg of the phone
Speaker 1: right now. That would be amazing. Speaking of Zach got
Speaker 1: bet by a raw Wiler. But you clearly don't listen
Speaker 1: to the show. So how did you hear that I
Speaker 1: was listening to the show. I don't believe you. And
Speaker 1: then I know that you you showed you had to
Speaker 1: apologize Joel because she's gonna have to see your boxers. Oh,
Speaker 1: you do listen to the show. I thought you didn't listen.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that happened. I feel like someone.
Speaker 1: I feel like one of Sarah's relatives told him, did
Speaker 1: you get all permission to reveal his boxers? Like googling
Speaker 1: things that were discussed on the podcast. I feel like you.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're not gonna believe what happened. Okay,
Speaker 1: one set right, and I'm the Rod Wilder is perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden it latches onto my leg. But
Speaker 1: it was a stunt gonna ry and I didn't want
Speaker 1: the children to worry, so I had to waite. I
Speaker 1: just had to waiting. I'm sobbing adical and because she
Speaker 1: wouldn't know what to do. Not only did she come
Speaker 1: from me in a hard, difficult time, but she also
Speaker 1: knew the medical answer of all the things to put
Speaker 1: in the wound. That was Sarah Chalk doing me doing
Speaker 1: Sarah Chalk. All right, listen, before we count in, I
Speaker 1: want to tell everyone that our guest today is our
Speaker 1: friend Amanda Clutes, who we all know and love, and
Speaker 1: she has written a book about Nick and losing Nick
Speaker 1: called Live Your Life that is just extraordinary. I am
Speaker 1: not just saying this because she is our friend. I
Speaker 1: even said this to her face. I said, I was
Speaker 1: expecting it to be interesting to me because I know
Speaker 1: the story and I love you, but I could not
Speaker 1: put this book down. It is so well done. She
Speaker 1: wrote it with her sister, who's a professional writer, so

Speaker 1: from the security camera or what it was. Donald's guarding
Speaker 1: like a Donald guarding like a bouncer. His son pissing
Speaker 1: on the front of my house. I'm like, how many
Speaker 1: would happen. Here's what happened. So, speaking of Zack's mom,
Speaker 1: we I was. We were at Zach's house yesterday with
Speaker 1: his family. His niece just graduated from high school. It
Speaker 1: was a wonderful affair. I got super drunk, which I
Speaker 1: don't do anymore. It's and I get super drunk, you
Speaker 1: seem to hold it together. And I had a few edibles. Ohways,

Speaker 1: And I was just all gonna add to your son
Speaker 1: peeing in my house? Yes, this is this is the story.
Speaker 1: I was plastered. We leave right and we get outside
Speaker 1: and Rocco goes, I gotta pee dad, because you guys
Speaker 1: were all downstairs, and Casey says to me, they have
Speaker 1: to come all the way back up here. Rocco just
Speaker 1: pee in the bush. And I was like, no, dude,
Speaker 1: don't pee in the bush, right, And she's like, no,
Speaker 1: just let him pee in the bush. It'll be all right.
Speaker 1: She's like, how do you think he goes into the
Speaker 1: bathroom when he's at basketball camp, he peas in the bush.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, he's being in
Speaker 1: the bush at basketball camp. And he was like, yeah, Dad,
Speaker 1: I pee in a bush at basketball camp. And I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, this is what you do. Go
Speaker 1: pee in the bush. And so he goes to pee
Speaker 1: and I'm holding I'm guarding him, and his mother decides
Speaker 1: to take a picture and send it to you, just
Speaker 1: so you know that we might have to post that picture.
Speaker 1: Can you ask Casey if I'm allowed to post it.
Speaker 1: You are totally allowed to post It's pretty funny. Donald
Speaker 1: looks like he's like, it looks like it's some famous
Speaker 1: like musician. And Donald looks like the bodyguard. Who's who's
Speaker 1: thing to star peeing in the bushes? You know what?
Speaker 1: It looks like. It looks like, baby, what's the one
Speaker 1: the Adam Sandler movie where the kid's pissing on the door,
Speaker 1: Big Daddy, Big Daddy. It's an important life skill you
Speaker 1: cannot get too. Precious. Kids pee in my pool, though,
Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me? Yes? Or no? I think
Speaker 1: they beat in the hot tub too. Oh no, really,
Speaker 1: we were all in the hot tub. How do you
Speaker 1: we were. Everybody was splashing their face everything, you know.
Speaker 1: My my assistant, Mark had his kids, two kids, doorable
Speaker 1: kids over swimming in the pool and Josh Raiden comes
Speaker 1: over and the kids are like, mister Josh, mister Josh
Speaker 1: comes swimming and he goes, I'm not coming in that pool.
Speaker 1: You guys peed in there, and they go, not in
Speaker 1: the hot tub, meaning like meaning like in the real pool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they frenched. I am, I am. I am almost positive
Speaker 1: my kids peed. You. It's a saltwater pool. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that cleans urine, Joel. Can you google that
Speaker 1: chlorine the ocean? The ocean does chlorine. I can picture
Speaker 1: attacking the urine. I give a saltwater pool if it
Speaker 1: kills child urin Joel, Well, it's all salty, how about that?
Speaker 1: All right? Oh my god? I feel like when we
Speaker 1: were kids, they would they would have those things in
Speaker 1: the pool, like the chemicals the pool that would like
Speaker 1: light up when someone sit. No, one never really had that.
Speaker 1: Everyone just threatened to have that. It didn't didn't happen
Speaker 1: anybody that never happened. That was a threat, so we
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. All right, we get in the show. Wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, Joel has the answer. Salt water may kills some,
Speaker 1: but does not kill all mouth and that doesn't answer
Speaker 1: the question anyway. How about this show five six seven?
Speaker 1: About show we made? I can't believe I got I
Speaker 1: got in before the countdown. Yeah, you know what it is.
Speaker 1: We missed you when we missed you, and we decided
Speaker 1: to let you in early. No, I haven't gotten to
Speaker 1: countdown yet. That's next forward to. You can count us out,
Speaker 1: you can you know what you can? You can count
Speaker 1: us in, you can kind us out. Yes, we also
Speaker 1: have a new song um for when we have a guest,
Speaker 1: and I've written a new song that Donald won't lay
Speaker 1: down for No, dude, I will lay it down. I
Speaker 1: just need you to freaking you got to get somebody
Speaker 1: dope to lay the track so I can say, Okay,
Speaker 1: here you go. Salt is not a disinfectant or sanitizer.
Speaker 1: Salt does not kill bacteria, inactivate viruses, or breakdown undesirable
Speaker 1: organic material in the pool water. Well, your kids put
Speaker 1: some fucking undesirable organic material. Oh my god, are you kidding?
Speaker 1: My daughter threw up in the pool. She did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, there was no pool and caddy shack
Speaker 1: and he eats it, yeah he does, and everybody cringes.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the show Scrubs. Guys. We
Speaker 1: opened with j D alone in an empty apartment with
Speaker 1: this that's a real tier, and then the end of
Speaker 1: the show. I am no Denzel Washington. I cannot squeeze
Speaker 1: out a beautiful slow tear going down. Got that thick
Speaker 1: You just pushed a little pull, Josh raiding on your iPod? No,
Speaker 1: when it's m sh that's what Sarah used to listen to,
Speaker 1: Josh raiden to cry. I'm sure that was a strategically
Speaker 1: placed tier. I thought it was Sarah McLaughlin. I will
Speaker 1: remember you. Oh, she was definitely definitely peppered in there.
Speaker 1: You remember, he's so lonesome. He's got no Elliott in
Speaker 1: his life. He's got turk leaving them for Judy and
Speaker 1: making babies, and uh, you know, he's sitting there alone
Speaker 1: on his boxes with a dead dog and a tear
Speaker 1: on his face. But he could have let Turk in
Speaker 1: with a giant pizza Nobody he did not. He Turk
Speaker 1: hurt his feelings. Well, you know, I will say this.
Speaker 1: I will say this. When this episode started off, all
Speaker 1: I could think about was Holy cow. One, this is
Speaker 1: the season finale, and then two, so many cool things
Speaker 1: happen in the next season. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So many cool things happened in the next season. And
Speaker 1: season four was a really good season as well. Ye.
Speaker 1: I wasn't very nostalgic about it, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I wonder what this episode As soon as it started,
Speaker 1: I was like, I wonder what this episode has in store, because,
Speaker 1: as you know, I don't remember any of this. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how would how do we close this season out? And
Speaker 1: there are some iconic moments in this in this episode.
Speaker 1: One you and I lying down on the basketball together.
Speaker 1: That's a meme that goes That's everywhere. I see that
Speaker 1: meme a lot. Yeah, everywhere. You're such a good friend
Speaker 1: that you lie down next to me, so people just
Speaker 1: think we're chilling. Yeah, even though I've knocked myself out
Speaker 1: trying to do a hook shot. Dude, You're you're elaborate
Speaker 1: plan to make sure that the last five people in
Speaker 1: the hospital. I think you're a good basketball whatever it is,
Speaker 1: I think you're a good basketball player goes awry and
Speaker 1: you get knocked out from this hook shot. That was
Speaker 1: funny though. That basketball in the head was funny. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was funny. And when you're like, damn, we just
Speaker 1: love the best player out here. Spread and then Donald
Speaker 1: after he goes down and like, I got him. I
Speaker 1: got this guy. I got this guy. He's Carl is
Speaker 1: a part of the plan. She's gonna once I make
Speaker 1: my my elaborate hook shark, she's gonna say that they
Speaker 1: need me and then and then and then it goes bad.
Speaker 1: And so that's one. Right now, why before you go on,
Speaker 1: why does an ambulance pull up we're at the emergency
Speaker 1: entrance of a hospital, because we're in the parking lot
Speaker 1: of the hospital. This is we're playing basketball at the
Speaker 1: emergency But the implication was that the ambulance pulled up
Speaker 1: for me. No, no, no. The second I think it
Speaker 1: was just to reinforce the point that like we're lying
Speaker 1: in a parking lot right now. Oh, I thought it
Speaker 1: was they called an ambulance for me, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're fucking at the fucking entrance. No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: because you're just lying there chilling because Donald's beside you.
Speaker 1: Victor Nelly is a very good director, but he added
Speaker 1: some style to this that I didn't necessarily like. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of zooms all over the place. He clearly
Speaker 1: said to Bill, Hey, what if I zoomed all over
Speaker 1: the place every fucking two seconds. I don't mind a
Speaker 1: zoom if it's well timed or if it fits the piece.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I thought that putting zooms all over a
Speaker 1: whole episode, as though it's a part of our regular
Speaker 1: photographic lexicon felt odd to me. He also did that
Speaker 1: thing later in the episode where the tiles of the
Speaker 1: bathroom all come apart to you know, it's just not
Speaker 1: part of Like I mean, I it's fine to explore.
Speaker 1: It's season four, let's try some new things. To me,
Speaker 1: they just stood out as not the way the show
Speaker 1: is is told. So two things we've learned. Zach is
Speaker 1: not a big fan of the zoom in. I don't
Speaker 1: like random zooms for comedy. They don't usually What about
Speaker 1: for dramas. What about for sci fi movies? There are
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that love the zoom in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you can make a zoom work, of course. Um,
Speaker 1: but I just think in this they felt they pulled
Speaker 1: me out a little bit because I'm like, that's not
Speaker 1: that's not the way we shoot. The show, doesn't feel
Speaker 1: like the show. Zach only likes a zoom for the button,
Speaker 1: like a button to one of his comments as an
Speaker 1: alternate for a siptake, Right, if it's like a like
Speaker 1: a zoom zoom zoom, zom zoom, I like to zoom
Speaker 1: m zoom zoom. Um there's zooms. I like, I'll have
Speaker 1: to think of where I like zooms. Okay, so that's
Speaker 1: the first one. The second one whom a big zoomer
Speaker 1: myself as a filmmaker, I don't know if there's any
Speaker 1: zooms in anyone movies, but go ahead. The second one,
Speaker 1: who just fucking crazy? Who just crazy? At the end
Speaker 1: when we finally realize no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this isn't the game anymore. Yeah, it's fucking crazy, right
Speaker 1: right right, and he shoot out of someone in the
Speaker 1: elevator with a sneaker, someone who has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with anything. Rocco was watching the show. He's like, did
Speaker 1: he kill him? Timeout? He goes time out. Did he
Speaker 1: just kill him? He literally killed that guy, And I'm like, nobody, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: all right, Well he's shouted out to Phil Lewis because
Speaker 1: he's always so hilarious, and this is the episode we got,
Speaker 1: we get now. First of all, I've never heard if
Speaker 1: this is a thing or who came up with this,
Speaker 1: But putting bully on cubes in the shower heads the best.
Speaker 1: That's a diabolical genius that whoever came up with that,
Speaker 1: he got up on the counter with popcorn to watch
Speaker 1: him come out, and then he didn't know it was us.
Speaker 1: He directed a bunch, right, No, he never directed any
Speaker 1: of these. Now he's become a big team since, but
Speaker 1: he had never directed scrubs. Maybe he directed the some
Speaker 1: of the thirteen and the two point zero. No, he
Speaker 1: never directed any of He never directed any scrubs. He
Speaker 1: directed a bunch of undatable because he drinks a lot
Speaker 1: of he dressed a lot of multicam stuff, so I
Speaker 1: know that he directed undatable a bunch. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: let's move on. Kelseo rips a fart. Now, we don't
Speaker 1: do too many fart jokes on Scrubs, but all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Kelso's ripping ass in the lobby. It's funny
Speaker 1: of my professional pier I Rocko, Hi Rockold. Tell them
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday when you when we left and how
Speaker 1: you what did you do in front of Rocco? Did
Speaker 1: you pee on my house? I saw a picture of
Speaker 1: you peeing on my house. You were joking, You are joking.
Speaker 1: Really okay, I think some splattered on my on my wall,
Speaker 1: but it's okay, your dad will clean it up. What
Speaker 1: do you what do you say to that? Okay, what's
Speaker 1: up you? Okay? I love you? Okay, all right. So
Speaker 1: scratching kilso fart reminded me, did you guys ever fart
Speaker 1: on the show? Like in like by accident? No, if
Speaker 1: I farted, it was for it was on purpose. So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I'm I'm I'm I'm very excited to
Speaker 1: hear your story. Well, it just reminded me of the
Speaker 1: one time that I did and Zach and I were
Speaker 1: kind of like we're doing like a like a kissing
Speaker 1: scene and we're standing there like over in the corner
Speaker 1: and they're about to say and they say rolling, and
Speaker 1: I may or may not have parted, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, don't no, no, no no, no no no no no,
Speaker 1: don't don't. And of course Zach was you know, just
Speaker 1: made the biggest deal anyone could possibly make over somebody
Speaker 1: farting and like I think made a song. There was
Speaker 1: some clapping you involved in it. There was a lot
Speaker 1: to talk about farting, and then of course that went
Speaker 1: on the gag reel. And so we'd always had these
Speaker 1: long gaggriels that would then play at the rap party.
Speaker 1: So then it came time for the rat party and
Speaker 1: then we all had to relive me farting on set
Speaker 1: by accident, um right at the beginning, right after the
Speaker 1: set rolling if it was an audio fart or was
Speaker 1: an SPD when it was audio? Oh I heard it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably so did everyone want to You have SPDs in Canada?
Speaker 1: Do you know what that is? Silent but deadly? Yes?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I know, well, they're very adorable,
Speaker 1: they're very polite. Parts, they're very polite. It's silent but
Speaker 1: adorable all up there. Yeah, I mean, it was just
Speaker 1: really just for some reason, why I heard kake it's fart.
Speaker 1: I just had this wave of like the rat party
Speaker 1: and the gag reel, and then I was just farting
Speaker 1: at the gag, which isn't just like a few people
Speaker 1: that were on set that may have heard it. Then
Speaker 1: it was like all of the network of exacts and
Speaker 1: people's spouses and friends and family that were also coming
Speaker 1: to celebrate the end of the season. So that was fun.
Speaker 1: That's funny. Everyone loves an accidental fart. All right, listen,
Speaker 1: let's talk about how we flashback and the time Donald
Speaker 1: comes into Turk comes into our DRM room and I'll go,
Speaker 1: I go, I'm an eighth level over Magi with invisibility,
Speaker 1: and this is Randall the Dragon. I call myself Chris One. Dude,
Speaker 1: do you know who Chris One is? No, krs one,
Speaker 1: Chris One. That's a that's a that was an inside
Speaker 1: or thing that not a lot of people would I
Speaker 1: thought a lot of people would pick up on it,
Speaker 1: but not a lot of people did. KRS one is
Speaker 1: Chris One one of the dopest m sason in the
Speaker 1: history of hip hop. I didn't get that, did he No,
Speaker 1: he didn't. But he wrote some of the dopest songs
Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. Can I ask you
Speaker 1: as a D and D guy, is an eighth level
Speaker 1: ogre magi or with invisibility a real thing? Yes it is? No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is irrelibility. Yeah you can an ogre not an ogre.
Speaker 1: He's not an ogre. He's not an ogre. He's an
Speaker 1: ogre magi. So that's two different class that's put together,
Speaker 1: so you can have as a class. Yeah, it's but
Speaker 1: but Ogre's come with different with different attributes than humans do.
Speaker 1: So if you're a magi, you're an ogre who is
Speaker 1: also a wizard, so you could totally have invisibility spells. Okay, fine, okay,
Speaker 1: well there you go. Um Or you should have seen
Speaker 1: Donald with my nephew talking about they went like they
Speaker 1: went like a Marvel wormhole and they're Matthew and Carrie
Speaker 1: brothers for like fifteen minutes. Yea, they went into us,
Speaker 1: they went into like George Joel Ewin right there with him.
Speaker 1: There was like they were speaking Latin because of everything
Speaker 1: that's happening in Loki, you know what I mean? Like it, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's so easy to like now Marvel's becoming just a
Speaker 1: little bit predictable, like I know what's coming next because
Speaker 1: of what's happening. You know only goes you know the
Speaker 1: full lineup of films coming. Well, no, but I know
Speaker 1: what the Thunderbolt says, you know what I mean, And
Speaker 1: I know what the freaking Secret Wars is. When they
Speaker 1: started talking about these freaking timelines and all of that
Speaker 1: stuff and the war that happened to to get about
Speaker 1: musicals with the immediately immediately, all I could think of was,
Speaker 1: oh shit, they're gonna do the fucking Secret Wars. They're
Speaker 1: gonna do Secret Wars. All right, Well now we're back. Um,
Speaker 1: what did you think of seems like a well both
Speaker 1: the actor was really good Josh Randall, But did what
Speaker 1: do you think of him as your love interests? Well,
Speaker 1: he's great. I was trying to I had obviously, because
Speaker 1: you guys are in the rewatch one. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like for me, I'm jumping out on these random episodes.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen what happens before and what happens after,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, like, I can't remember how long that
Speaker 1: storyline was, but I feel like it was a chunk. Well,
Speaker 1: you just it was like I think he did like
Speaker 1: three episodes or something. You just recently decided to have
Speaker 1: sex with him, okay, and that your favorite way is
Speaker 1: to be on top with the lights off, yelling don't
Speaker 1: look at me, so Elliott. So nobody's very likable. But
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's this new plot point that
Speaker 1: he's controlling you and and you do whatever he says,
Speaker 1: and Carla is making her very pissed that you just
Speaker 1: you're just you just do whatever he tells you to do. Yes.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines of the entire episode is, Jake,
Speaker 1: is it I know your name? I'm being condescending. It's Jake, right,
Speaker 1: It's just shy of It's just I have nobody cares.
Speaker 1: And jad has a special place of hate for all
Speaker 1: of your lovers after him. Understandably, he's jealous because we
Speaker 1: know that we're going to get back together and walk
Speaker 1: off into the sunset together and make babies. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I my niece was watching the finale and I watched
Speaker 1: a piece of it with her, and it was so
Speaker 1: that whole like ending montage, and then they like of
Speaker 1: the two, like you know, where you picked us together whatever,
Speaker 1: And then they had all these clips of like just
Speaker 1: that last episode of just shooting it, like us all
Speaker 1: being wrapped out and doing our last take, and I
Speaker 1: was a little for Clint. Yeah, anyways, I know we're
Speaker 1: not doing the rewatch of that episode, but yes, we
Speaker 1: do end up together. And just just seeing that was
Speaker 1: like I just brought up all this, just that memories
Speaker 1: of that last day. I'm like, it was so wild.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we're gonna take a break, we come back.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if Sarah pardon in any of the
Speaker 1: other scene right back after these words and we're bad.
Speaker 1: We are back. Hey, listen, you were trying to get
Speaker 1: into one day Shoon, what you're trying to do. Listen,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to get into. What we were
Speaker 1: talking about. We were talking about Bob Kelseo farting and that,
Speaker 1: but we forgot to talk about what he says after
Speaker 1: he farts, and that he likes Korean call girls. Yes,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't care who knows. No, he said, well,
Speaker 1: I thought he said something about, um, he likes free
Speaker 1: donuts and Asian prostitutes. No, he says Korean call girls.
Speaker 1: Those are the exact words he says. He doesn't say
Speaker 1: Asian prostitutes. Okay, Well, I think one was the feeding
Speaker 1: in and one was his response, Like maybe Neil was
Speaker 1: said the first one, Kelso responded the second. But he
Speaker 1: doesn't care who knows he's married to a woman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well doesn't care that everybody. I'm old, I'm old cocks.
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say, I don't care what
Speaker 1: you think. I'll do whatever I want. I'm gonna fire,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell everyone I like Asian prostitutes. I forgot
Speaker 1: one other thing that came in with this episode, a
Speaker 1: huge thing that we didn't talk about. Go ahead, s
Speaker 1: c B. Yeah, super Chocolate Bear. First time it's ever said, dude,
Speaker 1: this is like a This is an iconic episode when
Speaker 1: you really think about all of the things that hit
Speaker 1: the freaking Internet and stayed on an internet. SCB. Stuck,
Speaker 1: It's stuck. That's something that stayed. Like people come up
Speaker 1: to me still and call me super chocolate Bear. Yeah
Speaker 1: you are. And when j D says it to you
Speaker 1: and you're like, I love it, It's like I knew
Speaker 1: you would. I had that loaded. So now the janitor
Speaker 1: is walking around trying to get JD to eat this
Speaker 1: pie right, and it's got laxatives in it and Jad's
Speaker 1: put two and two to together. And also the Todd, Oh,
Speaker 1: my gods eaten this pie, and he says the funniest
Speaker 1: line of the whole episode, doozy of a choosie, make
Speaker 1: room out of my way. I got a doozy of
Speaker 1: a choosie. Make it stop five. First of all, the
Speaker 1: janitor fucked him up so badly that he's in the iculid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you and the janitor only had one bite on
Speaker 1: the roof, and I love that the janitor would like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, He's like, I'll take it just to get
Speaker 1: you down, Jade. But then you guys are like on
Speaker 1: the toilet after a bite, and like the Todd, he
Speaker 1: probably had like a couple of slices. Well he pushed on,
Speaker 1: did you notice that we're jumping ahead? But when I
Speaker 1: had to have the explosive diarrhea next to the janitor
Speaker 1: that you see my my toes point, I did not
Speaker 1: see that, but you did. Oh, crack me up, like
Speaker 1: you just see me in the janitor's legs. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden something you know, obviously don't hear anything,
Speaker 1: but you see me like point my toes and lift
Speaker 1: them off the ground. What's up with the boys trying
Speaker 1: to get rowdy to choose between the two of them,
Speaker 1: and that's how they're going to get him. They choke four.
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, for the Carla because like, who's laughing,
Speaker 1: Like no one's like, we're doing it for us? What
Speaker 1: it's wrong with us? I don't know. I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I was like coming to me, I'll scratch your special region.
Speaker 1: I feel like you are. You're was like set up
Speaker 1: and you're waiting for Carla to come in or is
Speaker 1: she like a coincidence as she comes in. It's gotta
Speaker 1: be a coincidence that she comes in because we're doing
Speaker 1: the joke before she walks in. Yeah, and then she
Speaker 1: walks yeah, Elliott, you um, Sarah you um explode a
Speaker 1: bloody nose onto your God. That was funny. It's very
Speaker 1: very on brand. So I used to obviously get very
Speaker 1: serious nosebleeds as a child, um to the point where
Speaker 1: they would last like forty five minutes. And I remember
Speaker 1: grade seven graduation true story. Um, we all go to
Speaker 1: you know, rehearse and then we're gonna go get ready
Speaker 1: at Jen Murray's house and then come back and do
Speaker 1: our graduation. So that morning, I'm putting sunscreen on just
Speaker 1: very gently because I've been having these Like I starts
Speaker 1: a forty five minute noseblade. So I go to rehearsal.
Speaker 1: My mom picks me up, but go to the er.
Speaker 1: They burn the outside of my nostrils as well as
Speaker 1: the inside, so that looks great in the pictures. And
Speaker 1: then my mom has brought me an outfit because I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have time to go get changed at my
Speaker 1: friend's house before grad and it's this like crocheted sweater
Speaker 1: and this is skirt. This is not what I hadn't
Speaker 1: done it I'm wearing to grab. So these noseblades were, yeah,
Speaker 1: quite a thing. They started I think when I was
Speaker 1: trying out for the basketball team, which I didn't make
Speaker 1: in grade five, six, seven, eight or nine. But the
Speaker 1: ball was coming towards me and it was tryouts and
Speaker 1: I was going to catch it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is it. It's my moment, it's all happening, it's
Speaker 1: coming together. Someone's passing me the ball and it kind
Speaker 1: of felt like right through my hands into my face
Speaker 1: and triggered this. It's like, yeah, very long run of
Speaker 1: do you think you might have a deviated septum because
Speaker 1: of this. I do have a deviated septum, which I
Speaker 1: found out about later when I was working on a
Speaker 1: show and walked into a wall and he had to
Speaker 1: extra my nose. But that's another story for a different
Speaker 1: a different rewatched Sar. Do you realize you're wearing a
Speaker 1: rhinestone shirt in this episode? And it was sparkling and
Speaker 1: I was like, I doesn't really feel like something Elliott
Speaker 1: would wear, but you're wearing like a Karen rhinestone. I
Speaker 1: noticed that as well. It was just shy of saying
Speaker 1: live love whatever I had on my true religion, gene
Speaker 1: true religion. They were such a I love those jeans
Speaker 1: and like there was definitely a bedazzled belt. But you
Speaker 1: approved that, you approved all your Worddrobe. You went in
Speaker 1: there and like give me the rhinestones. Do you have
Speaker 1: a problem with something that I'm just wouldn't have approved?
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of uh yeah. Did the
Speaker 1: old act like the short sleever with the long sleever
Speaker 1: underneath rocked in my everyday world? There are another two
Speaker 1: things that I noticed about this episode that I thought,
Speaker 1: were you know this this These were very on brand
Speaker 1: John c McGinley has a freaking monologue. The size of
Speaker 1: that shit had to be like three pages, man, where
Speaker 1: he's talking about his wife and how she h you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like how her happiness and everything
Speaker 1: like that. Dude, that monologue was for ever and he
Speaker 1: rattles through it and they cut away from it a
Speaker 1: couple of times, meaning like maybe he didn't get it
Speaker 1: all in one, but you know, he'd strive to get
Speaker 1: in in one. But it was gigantic and he freaking
Speaker 1: masterfully does it. That's one thing. Another thing that I
Speaker 1: was like, holy shit about was Sam Lloyd. Dude, you
Speaker 1: don't talk about him. We don't talk about him enough.
Speaker 1: And how fucking amazing is at how amazing he was
Speaker 1: at physical comedy. His beats in this are all physical
Speaker 1: comedy and they're so funny, typewriter everything, Like Cabinet. He
Speaker 1: hits that final cabinet twice in two different ways, and
Speaker 1: they're both the most solid hits. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: WWE wrestling masterful. Man. We don't talk about that enough,
Speaker 1: just like, you know, because he's in a lot of
Speaker 1: episodes and and and I don't know, maybe it's because
Speaker 1: maybe it's because we miss him or I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is, but we I just want to say, man,
Speaker 1: we don't do him enough justice in saying how funny
Speaker 1: he is, because he was so, so, so funny. The
Speaker 1: character is not really the same person. He's trying to
Speaker 1: do calculations on a typewriter. Yeah, he's not necessarily. And
Speaker 1: then Jordan takes his office and did you notice that
Speaker 1: he's set up? And it kind of grazed by it,
Speaker 1: but he I wonder if that must have been a
Speaker 1: longer beat that they cut out or something, because he's
Speaker 1: got his whole desk set up at the gameteria. Well,
Speaker 1: he's amazing and always flop sweating and so good. And
Speaker 1: now so now I take on Hooch because I'm mad
Speaker 1: at Turk, so I try to take on Hooch. Is
Speaker 1: my new best friend. Chocolate Bear number two? You call him? Yes?
Speaker 1: And then you come over and I go, now, come on,
Speaker 1: don't be obvious, and I go, that seat's taken, ass face. Yea, hello,
Speaker 1: Chocolate Bear number two. And then he's riding on the
Speaker 1: back of the scooter with you and everything. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's got already has a personalized helmet and he and
Speaker 1: I I say that it's your fault of the bullying cubes,
Speaker 1: and he goes, if it happens again, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: out funny of fingers. It'll be my funny little prank.
Speaker 1: Why who is legit crazy? He almost kills someone with
Speaker 1: a sneaker? Legit crazy? And then so let's talk about
Speaker 1: Elliot and a new job. Yeah, I forgot that hospital.
Speaker 1: I forgot too. Yeah, remember she season five, she starts
Speaker 1: in a different hospital. I think, Sarah, you weren't even
Speaker 1: shooting with us for like the first couple episodes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like on a different a different campus. I
Speaker 1: feel like, is that I don't remember if that's when
Speaker 1: I start. There was one season where I stopped wearing
Speaker 1: scrubs and I was like, yeah, that sounds kind of fun.
Speaker 1: Let's wear some It's been five seasons or whatever, how
Speaker 1: many seasons of I'll just wear some fancy was healthy
Speaker 1: hospital at the wardrobe fitting, and I was so pumped
Speaker 1: that I was wearing all these cute dresses with this
Speaker 1: like little lab coat and these like crazy high heels,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this is awesome. And we
Speaker 1: were like four days in and I was like, why
Speaker 1: did I do this? Why didn't I stay in scrubs,
Speaker 1: like just like brow your in scrubs, Jamie's and sneakers
Speaker 1: every day. And then I'm like in you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: high heels marching down the hall. It was good, though
Speaker 1: I thought it smarting them in season five to show
Speaker 1: the difference between a hospital that has more money and
Speaker 1: this hospital, which is supposed to be a city hospital
Speaker 1: without a lot of money that's coming to your season five,
Speaker 1: even with the nose spitting, the nose blade blood everywhere,
Speaker 1: still got it because even you must have a really
Speaker 1: good interview because you you splattered blood all over his
Speaker 1: face and still got the job. Dude. The ship starts
Speaker 1: leaking too. It's not like it just like usually when
Speaker 1: you see nosebleeds and shows, just like it stays there.
Speaker 1: But this thing starts dripping down. They must have just
Speaker 1: done like an eye dropper of blood and then ran
Speaker 1: off camera because it was like slowly coming down, slowly
Speaker 1: going down, and then I'm alone. We revealed that the
Speaker 1: it's not a tier, it's in fact my leaky ceiling
Speaker 1: and big gass stunt of the bathtub falling through into
Speaker 1: my apartment and the ad ship was hilarious. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a new beautiful neighbor to flirt with.
Speaker 1: And then her husband jump town. So her boyfriend her husband.
Speaker 1: But not only does he jump down, he's superhero. Jumps
Speaker 1: down too, but he lands and it's real heroic and
Speaker 1: he's like, yo, you looking at my girl? Yeah. I
Speaker 1: would have been like, yeah, my fucking y'all just fell
Speaker 1: through the roof. Yeah, I just got this place. And
Speaker 1: she was kind of flirting for a second. She's like, sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: he just felt through the ceiling. Calm down. Now what
Speaker 1: were they doing that? She's in the tub and he's
Speaker 1: not in the tub, but he still has on a
Speaker 1: freaking towel. He just got out of the tub. He
Speaker 1: got out of the tub or he was shaving. I
Speaker 1: don't know. All I know is she's in the tub,
Speaker 1: the tub drops filled with the water, and then he comes.
Speaker 1: He jumps down. He doesn't fall through, he jumps down
Speaker 1: and he's got on a towel. Right, we couldn't show
Speaker 1: his penis, don't I understand that, Zach? But what the
Speaker 1: hell are they doing upstairs? And much better finale if
Speaker 1: he jumped down with his dog flopping, they would have
Speaker 1: left that they would show yeah, that would stay in
Speaker 1: the show, but not marijuana. No, no, we're not marijuana. Dude.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Did they show down
Speaker 1: one firefly line? Yeah? No, don Did they show boot
Speaker 1: booty crack a tiny bits? Not mine, not yours? No,
Speaker 1: they show they show who do they? What do they?
Speaker 1: What do they show? I think it's one of those
Speaker 1: things where like, you know, yeah, when you go when
Speaker 1: we were doing scrubs, like you're in Broun Underwear a lot.
Speaker 1: But there's obviously like that kind of framework around network
Speaker 1: television where there's only a certain point you can go
Speaker 1: and then um, yeah, as soon as you go to cable,
Speaker 1: there's like you know, there's it's a conversation did and
Speaker 1: say how how how naughty are you willing to be?
Speaker 1: Wasn't so much like that, It was it was pretty collaborative,
Speaker 1: like as different scenes came up. It was kind of
Speaker 1: organic the way it would work. And I got a
Speaker 1: lot of same terms of the you know, if we're
Speaker 1: an underwear what said underwear we're or could bring my
Speaker 1: own in And also I notice your character has jungle
Speaker 1: fever on that show. Also, like Big Time, she is
Speaker 1: a interraction though if we can use that term anymore.
Speaker 1: Joel can we? Oh, Donald can't? I can't. Just checking
Speaker 1: Spike Lee made the movie, Okay, I'm just double checking.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get Donald in trouble for saying,
Speaker 1: d y'all can't even sing that song. Huh wever in love?
Speaker 1: I can bop my head while you sing. So, Sarah,
Speaker 1: they come to you and they're like, hey, you have
Speaker 1: a sex scene coming up. Will you show Ariola or
Speaker 1: no Ariola? How does it work? So they we have
Speaker 1: a scene coming up, and um, and yeah, when you
Speaker 1: read it, you can kind of usually get a fairly
Speaker 1: good idea, you know, of what it's gonna of what
Speaker 1: it's going to be. But there was really there was
Speaker 1: nothing that was you know, that we did that was
Speaker 1: out of my comfort zone. Um, other than the course,
Speaker 1: like it's Canada and it's winter and it's freezing, and
Speaker 1: the one day that we have snow on the ground
Speaker 1: is the day that I'm answering the door naked. So
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, there's there's snow everywhere and
Speaker 1: I'm in like obviously I didn't show everything, but I
Speaker 1: was in very you know, as in undis and like
Speaker 1: stickers and answer the door where it's less than zero
Speaker 1: degrees and multiple takes of that. And then the other
Speaker 1: one was the pool where there was a lot of
Speaker 1: discussion over that scene, you know, like how is that
Speaker 1: going to work where you kind of drop off your
Speaker 1: clothes and then you dive into the pool. So how
Speaker 1: are we going to get that shot where we get
Speaker 1: and make the story makes sense to get you into
Speaker 1: the water. And then I was maybe you should up
Speaker 1: the sex a bit because Donald's wife and and are
Speaker 1: assuming to be guests are big fans of Bridgerton for
Speaker 1: you and um and uh and you know that. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, but I'm told it's very steamy. So
Speaker 1: maybe a firefight coming back for season two though I know,
Speaker 1: but there'll be somebody else with abs, I'm sure. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying sorry to take it up to Bridgerton level
Speaker 1: sex on Firefly Lane, we can ask one of your
Speaker 1: favorite viewers, Amanda, who's going to join us in a second.
Speaker 1: She really really really loves Firefly Lane, don't you clues? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she says she does, and tight Hi clutes. All right,

Speaker 1: All right, we're back. Um, I don't have a splitter,
Speaker 1: So I doesn't have a splitter. You have technology. The
Speaker 1: joke is that Sarah can barely ever manage even get
Speaker 1: on the zoom call. I'm with you, Sarah, I'm with you,
Speaker 1: Thank you right, don't believe it. I can't even email
Speaker 1: very books. Ask me to sign over email. I have
Speaker 1: to send it to my assistant to sign Look at
Speaker 1: that's how bad. I got an assistant now, and everything's fancy.
Speaker 1: She is so fancy. For those of you who don't
Speaker 1: know who our guest is, she hosts a very very
Speaker 1: popular talk show called The Talk Yes and uh. Not
Speaker 1: only does she do that, she also has a wonderful
Speaker 1: book that she just put out herself. I'm gonna hold
Speaker 1: it up like a real talk show host, does you know,
Speaker 1: like on the talk shows when they when they hold
Speaker 1: up the book, the name of the book and go ahead.
Speaker 1: If you're listening, you can't see what a good job
Speaker 1: I am of being a talk show host. This is
Speaker 1: what would happen on The Talk right, Amanda, we would
Speaker 1: hold up the book and go, We're so happy to
Speaker 1: have amand includes here. Her new book is Live Your Life.
Speaker 1: She wrote it with her sister Anna Kluth, and it's
Speaker 1: flying off the shelves. Right. That sound like I could
Speaker 1: be on the Talk. It was, Yes, I'm auditioning to
Speaker 1: do a guest spot on the Talk. I have told
Speaker 1: them to get you into be I know Jerry O'Connell
Speaker 1: is doing guest spots on the Talk. I feel like
Speaker 1: Donald and I should steal that position from Jerry. Jerry O'Connell.
Speaker 1: Jerry is a king of guests, hosting man. Yes, he's
Speaker 1: very funny, but I feel like you and I could
Speaker 1: come on the Talk and really crush it. Jerry also
Speaker 1: has a splitter on hand, always like you need to
Speaker 1: sit that kind of fallback joke. Commanda, for those of
Speaker 1: you keep them wait, so wait, let's talk about fire
Speaker 1: Flame one more thing on fire for plane. Amanda is
Speaker 1: your biggest fan. She would She would text me like,
Speaker 1: are you watching Sarah's show? It is amazing? She loves it. Yes, answer.
Speaker 1: I watched a couple episodes and when there was when
Speaker 1: there was no coin slot, I ducked out jes so
Speaker 1: you know Sarah. I was like, you need to watch it.
Speaker 1: You have to support your friend. She's amazing, and he
Speaker 1: was like I know, and I'm like, no, you don't understand.
Speaker 1: She's incredible in this show. I am a huge fan.
Speaker 1: And then I would DM her and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: you're amazing. Yeah, Amanda is the reason you got season
Speaker 1: two because she's broadcasting it out all over the place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my wife loves Firefly Lane, and the one thing she
Speaker 1: says after watching every episode is Sarah is so fucking
Speaker 1: good Sarah. She's so good. Donald. After I was dm
Speaker 1: ng Sarah, I would DM Casey and I'd be like, Casey,
Speaker 1: are you watching Sarah on Firefly? I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 1: She would be like, girl, you know I'm watching. I know,
Speaker 1: And I'm like I know. And then I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: she always been this amazing, this is amazing. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what you did say. Zach did say, No, she's always
Speaker 1: been amazing. Well, but the world is finally seeing all
Speaker 1: her different levels. She was known on our show for
Speaker 1: being hilarious, but now on Firefly she's playing a lot
Speaker 1: of dramatic stuff. Plus she got jungle fever. Can say,
Speaker 1: only I can and you will. All right, now, listen.
Speaker 1: Um is another thing that both Amanda and your wife love.
Speaker 1: They d m about that and talk about what's his
Speaker 1: name's abs? No, they don't talk about his abs? No,
Speaker 1: what are they talk about? He shows coin slot at
Speaker 1: the last episode. It was like, it's so steamy, you
Speaker 1: should watch it, and I'm not gonna watch. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna wait for the CEM scene. She's like, okay, episode six,
Speaker 1: So I told her once. I was like, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna fast forward episode six and see what everybody's talking about.
Speaker 1: I never did well this, Maybe Zach and Donald Bridgeton
Speaker 1: could be your next like when you want to slide
Speaker 1: in some other rewatch for your podcast to stretch out.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch, but I watching that way. I
Speaker 1: think Casey and Amanda should do a brit rewatch. That
Speaker 1: would mean you know what, Zach, we should go on
Speaker 1: vacation and Casey and Amanda should take over the podcast.
Speaker 1: Well you watch that, yeah, Daniel, do you watch Bridgton? No?
Speaker 1: I don't watcher. Did you watch episode six? I hear
Speaker 1: that's where on the episodes it was like Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones level of like, oh, my we're just worth going for.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's no fighting, it's all sex. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: where you lose me. You lose me there. I gotta
Speaker 1: see some like skulls bashed in and then sex, and
Speaker 1: then it works for me. I haven't watching, but I
Speaker 1: hear that's very steamy too, uncomfortably from my mom. She
Speaker 1: was like this Outland is hot and heavy. Wid Um,
Speaker 1: all right, listen, let's segue into something on the total
Speaker 1: opposite side of the spectrum. Um, we all know from
Speaker 1: from the show what happened to Amanda and our friend Nick,
Speaker 1: and I have to say something. I honestly thought Amanda,
Speaker 1: and I've told you this. I'm going to say it
Speaker 1: very tactfully because I'm a talk show host on this
Speaker 1: show today. I did not think this was going to
Speaker 1: be as good as it is. That was very tactful. Yes,
Speaker 1: Sterry O'Connell did, though he knew. He knew, No, I listen,
Speaker 1: when your friend writes a book, and of course it's
Speaker 1: about something so personal, I knew I was going to
Speaker 1: read it and love it because I love Amanda and
Speaker 1: I love Nick more than anything I could. I'm not
Speaker 1: just saying this, listeners, because this affected our lives so
Speaker 1: much and affected the person next to me more than anything.
Speaker 1: But I could not put this book down. Amanda. You
Speaker 1: did such an incredible job telling this story, and it
Speaker 1: isn't just the sad parts of what happened. It jumps
Speaker 1: back and forth between the love story of you and
Speaker 1: Nick and I guess my first question is like, how
Speaker 1: the hell did you do this? I know you had
Speaker 1: some help from your sister, Anna, who's a professional writer,
Speaker 1: but tell us the story of how this came about
Speaker 1: and how it's so darned good. Well, it is a
Speaker 1: true fifty fifty collab. Guys, like Anna is an incredible writer,
Speaker 1: but she also lived with us during this whole entire time,
Speaker 1: and she was kind of like Nick and I third
Speaker 1: wheel even like in our throughout our relationship in New York.
Speaker 1: She was on part of our honeymoon with us like Anna,
Speaker 1: and Nick loved Anna. He always was like, is Annie
Speaker 1: come in? Annie's coming? Oh good, and he's coming. So
Speaker 1: she just knew a lot about our life. And she's
Speaker 1: an incredible writer, and she literally we communicate telepathically. So
Speaker 1: she was the only person that I wanted to do
Speaker 1: this with. And HarperCollins suggested a ghostwriter, and Anna has nothing,
Speaker 1: you know, published of this nature, so they were a
Speaker 1: little hesitant, to say the least. But then she sent
Speaker 1: to the sample of their writing. They emailed right back
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh no, no, no no, no, no, yes,
Speaker 1: please do this. Lucky because a ghostwriter, who's you know,
Speaker 1: for those of you don't know, is someone who's sort
Speaker 1: of high in the background and help someone write a
Speaker 1: book who's never written a book that would have been
Speaker 1: so impersonal. Whereas Anna, as you'll see him when you
Speaker 1: read the book, was by a man to side. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's also just there's so many beautiful things in this book.
Speaker 1: But one of the other themes that is so incredibly
Speaker 1: moving is the bond between you and your sister and
Speaker 1: how she was by your side every single step of
Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, no, she was. I couldn't have gotten
Speaker 1: through this without her. I mean, you know, you saw
Speaker 1: it firsthand. But Anna and my brother Todd, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Anna was like Elvis's second mom when I was at
Speaker 1: the hospital every day, and I never knew how long
Speaker 1: I was able to stay at the hospital, So she
Speaker 1: was always just kind of like literally second mom and
Speaker 1: took over and never asked for anything in return. She
Speaker 1: just did it with you know, a smile on her face. No,
Speaker 1: it was amazing, and we wrote it together, we really did.
Speaker 1: I mean she was in Paris, I was here in La.
Speaker 1: I would put Elvis to bed and I would start
Speaker 1: writing around eight pm, trying to keep my eyes open.
Speaker 1: But I you know, we had that such a deadline.
Speaker 1: You usually get like at least a year to write
Speaker 1: a book. They gave us five months. And so I
Speaker 1: was like at you know, my computer every night at
Speaker 1: eight pm, and then I would go to sleep and
Speaker 1: send her whatever I wrote. And then she would be
Speaker 1: waking up in Paris and she would say, sister, I'm
Speaker 1: on it. Let's let's I'll look through everything you just
Speaker 1: sent me. So it was kind of like everyone. You know,
Speaker 1: we were working on at twenty four seven, which is
Speaker 1: I think how we got it done in five months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how they do visual effects sometimes on giant movies,
Speaker 1: like when when when La stops some foreign nation begins,
Speaker 1: and so it's being worked on in twenty four seven.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to ask you original questions and
Speaker 1: have these guys ask you original questions. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you a question. I know you get asked a lot,
Speaker 1: but it's hard not to read this book and not
Speaker 1: want to ask you. And I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: as someone who's your best friend, how the hell have
Speaker 1: you stayed so strong? This was the hardest thing that
Speaker 1: anyone could ever go through, and it happened pretty fast,
Speaker 1: and yet you never of course you had your horrible moments,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but how the hell did you manage to
Speaker 1: stay so strong and also simultaneously raise a little baby
Speaker 1: during all this? Um? I think you know, in writing
Speaker 1: everything down, it helps you kind of like look retrospectively
Speaker 1: and kind of figure out how you did it. But
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. The first is the
Speaker 1: help of my family. I could not I could not
Speaker 1: have done this. You know. My brother and sister came in,
Speaker 1: and then my mom and dad came in, and then
Speaker 1: Leslie came in, and so I literally had like a
Speaker 1: huge support system that allowed me to go be with
Speaker 1: Nick every day and fight for him and research and
Speaker 1: do everything and I did with Nick. The second is
Speaker 1: you know my faith in God and what I believe,
Speaker 1: And I just feel like, you know, when you're going
Speaker 1: through something this hard, when you have this trauma faced,
Speaker 1: you know, every day, and this horrible news every single day.
Speaker 1: To be able to give that burden to something else
Speaker 1: that is higher and bigger than you. Of course you're
Speaker 1: going to always carry it on your shoulders and it'll
Speaker 1: always be in your heart, but like just to be
Speaker 1: able to to pray and ask for prayer and ask
Speaker 1: for that support, just like it gave the burden to
Speaker 1: something else bigger than me. So that was huge. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think I'm innately a fighter.
Speaker 1: I'm innately somebody that I realized in writing this book.
Speaker 1: I actually got nervous about it. I was like, do
Speaker 1: I thrive under pressure? Like? Am I somebody? It's something
Speaker 1: I asked my therapist, like do I am I the
Speaker 1: best version of myself under like extreme amounts of pressure?
Speaker 1: Which is something that I've tried to figure out and
Speaker 1: deal with because it's like worrisome obviously, right, Like what
Speaker 1: do you do when everything's fine? Are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Or are you like your best version when you have
Speaker 1: to like throw down and like live life on a moment. Well,
Speaker 1: I think You've always had a pretty extraordinary life. But
Speaker 1: I feel like I, you know, Donald gets a mosquito
Speaker 1: bite and he goes to see like a surgeon, and
Speaker 1: I have a bit of bad news and I get
Speaker 1: in the fetal position and get onto the covers, and
Speaker 1: I'm reading this book and it's just incredible. How you
Speaker 1: how you were able to persevere and and and fight
Speaker 1: every single day. Well thanks, but I mean you know
Speaker 1: you would do the same thing if it was your
Speaker 1: person lying in the ICU and they couldn't speak for
Speaker 1: themselves and they couldn't do anything. I mean, you would
Speaker 1: do anything and everything you can. I mean, you would,
Speaker 1: um and you know, I mean you knew Nick as
Speaker 1: you know, he would want me to you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He would want me to fight, he would
Speaker 1: want me to research. He would want me to be
Speaker 1: the best mom I could be for Elvis, like he
Speaker 1: would want me to move forward with my life. A
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, ask me that about, you know,
Speaker 1: just living now, and I'm like, yes, I could live
Speaker 1: in grief every single I cry every day still, of
Speaker 1: course I do. And it's like I cried myself to
Speaker 1: sleep last night. That's never going to change. But I
Speaker 1: know Nick would want me to move forward, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. If he could have said anything on
Speaker 1: his deathbed. He would have said, don't you dare stop
Speaker 1: living your life. I want you to find love again.
Speaker 1: I want you to raise our sun with joy and happiness.
Speaker 1: I want you to work, I want you to thrive.
Speaker 1: I want you to succeed. I mean, I would have
Speaker 1: said the same thing to him, so I know it's
Speaker 1: what he would have said to me. Yeah, you guys
Speaker 1: can feel free to chime in if you want to
Speaker 1: say anything. I anyone to monopolize the interview of our
Speaker 1: fancy guests. Well, I just want to say that I'm
Speaker 1: completely in awe of your strength. I followed you kind
Speaker 1: of just from the beginning of when it all started
Speaker 1: to happen, and we were, you know, jumping rope every
Speaker 1: day at three o'clock and singing Live your Life, and
Speaker 1: my nieces would jump with me. And it was truly
Speaker 1: an incredible thing to watch your strength. There's nothing quite
Speaker 1: like it. And I don't know how you did it.
Speaker 1: And it was just incredible to see this rallying, crying.
Speaker 1: How you brought together your family, your friends, your community,
Speaker 1: and then the world, all of these strangers and you
Speaker 1: know this this year was complicated and hard for people
Speaker 1: all in different ways to see you right at the
Speaker 1: beginning of it take such a powerful, optimistic, hopeful, strong
Speaker 1: stance was just so inspiring and um, I think you,
Speaker 1: you know, have changed a lot of and affected just
Speaker 1: a lot of people because of it. And I just, um,
Speaker 1: I think you're incredible. Thanks Sarah. Yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to say. I want to say, like, look, when one
Speaker 1: of my greatest fears in life is that when I
Speaker 1: pass away, I won't be I will not have made
Speaker 1: a mark, and I will not have I will not
Speaker 1: be remembered for the things that I've done, whether it'd
Speaker 1: be raising my children, whether it'd be you know, my work,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And what was so awesome when Nick
Speaker 1: was when Nick was in the hospital and everything like that,
Speaker 1: the way dude was a rock star, you made him
Speaker 1: a rock star. He had a hit record like all
Speaker 1: of his It's crazy, like all of his dreams before
Speaker 1: he passed came true because of you and you're and
Speaker 1: you're being able to represent him. I always I pray
Speaker 1: that when you know that these are things, that these
Speaker 1: are things that we have no control over anything, but
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be remembered for something, and you made
Speaker 1: it happen, you know what I mean, everybody knew who
Speaker 1: he was before he left, and that's something that you
Speaker 1: know as a performer, and maybe it's me being maybe
Speaker 1: it's my vanity, whatever it is. You always want to
Speaker 1: leave a mark, and he was able to leave a
Speaker 1: mark thanks to you. And I just wanted to I
Speaker 1: just wanted you know that. I think that's such an
Speaker 1: amazing uh quality to have as a partner, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like we always say we're in it
Speaker 1: together and everything like that, but when the chips are
Speaker 1: down and everything and it's and and the going gets rough,
Speaker 1: you know, they write songs about it where you can
Speaker 1: you stand the rain and uh I I I I
Speaker 1: know that my wife would do the same for me.
Speaker 1: But you know, it was just so amazing to see
Speaker 1: the love that you had for him and what you
Speaker 1: were willing to do to make sure he was represented.
Speaker 1: And that's so dope. Well thanks, Donald, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I think honestly, um that you know, that was obviously
Speaker 1: never not the intention in the beginning of sharing the story,
Speaker 1: but when as like so many people started following the
Speaker 1: story and praying for Nick and supporting us, and Nick
Speaker 1: and his family It kind of just unfolded that way
Speaker 1: because I wanted people to know who they were supporting,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And Nick couldn't talk right.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, you guys are like I
Speaker 1: have all these people all over the world singing this
Speaker 1: man's song. They should know who he is. They got
Speaker 1: to know some stories about him and us, and like,
Speaker 1: if you're praying for us every single day, like I
Speaker 1: want you to know who you're praying for. I want
Speaker 1: you to understand who we are and who he is
Speaker 1: and why I love him and why I think he's special.
Speaker 1: But you know, I will have to say, like I mean,
Speaker 1: Zach knows. You know. Nick was forty one and he
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, have this music career, and we
Speaker 1: just had a new baby and we moved to LA
Speaker 1: and we had no money and it was a bit
Speaker 1: of a struggle and I wasn't necessarily the most supportive wife.
Speaker 1: And his you know, I want to go on tour
Speaker 1: in a truck and play cities across America with our
Speaker 1: baby and two dogs. And I was like, how does that?
Speaker 1: How does that work? And he's like, you can teach
Speaker 1: fitness in all the cities and we could live out
Speaker 1: of a van, and I was like, you know, um,
Speaker 1: And so I wasn't necessarily the most supportive, but I
Speaker 1: will say, um, you know, in in this journey and
Speaker 1: playing his song every day and you know, just making
Speaker 1: everybody else sing his song. You know, I turned into
Speaker 1: his biggest fan, which I you know, like I know
Speaker 1: he knows now, but you know, it just sits it.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad I turned into his biggest fan because
Speaker 1: he was so talented and he didn't know everything about music.
Speaker 1: That guy was like he just he knew everything. Well,
Speaker 1: I was reading the book. I there's so many amazing
Speaker 1: stories about your romance and fall in love, and I
Speaker 1: just love the way you structure because this story what
Speaker 1: happened is quite tragic, but there's so much love and hope.
Speaker 1: And there's the love of you two falling in love
Speaker 1: with each other. There's the familial love of you and
Speaker 1: your siblings rallying them rallying around you. There's the community
Speaker 1: of love, our friends that that did our best to
Speaker 1: rally around you. And then because you were so diligent
Speaker 1: about sharing this story on Instagram and the web, people
Speaker 1: all around the world. I mean, when you see the
Speaker 1: Amanda talks about the letters she gets from so many
Speaker 1: countries around the world, and she would read them to
Speaker 1: Nick and so many people who just would pray and
Speaker 1: sing with her and share their love. It was just
Speaker 1: it was just really heartwarming in a way that at
Speaker 1: such a horrible time, so many thousands and thousands of
Speaker 1: people rallied together for you. Yeah, it was It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I still honestly can't believe it. You know, Instagram archives
Speaker 1: all of your stories and things, which is how I
Speaker 1: got a lot of information and back to write down
Speaker 1: in this book, because this book is so detailed, heavily detailed,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was right in my brain
Speaker 1: just because you know, when you're that into something like this,
Speaker 1: you just remember the medicines, the doctors. You just it's
Speaker 1: right there. But I would go back into Instagram archives
Speaker 1: and watch like all the three PM singings and all
Speaker 1: of the people that would send their messages from like
Speaker 1: literally all over the world, and there'd be nights I
Speaker 1: would cry myself to sleep just being like, how did
Speaker 1: this happen? How did this? How? You know? It doesn't
Speaker 1: eat like the story with everything that happened with Nick
Speaker 1: seems still surreal to me. But even just like that,
Speaker 1: everything that the rally of the people that supported us
Speaker 1: just doesn't even still seem real. It's crazy. I like
Speaker 1: it when the world shows that people are good. Sometimes yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I think you know what though, Like that's what I
Speaker 1: think though, was one of the most beautiful takeaways from
Speaker 1: this pandemic is that for the first time in our
Speaker 1: lives the world, we were all on the same note.
Speaker 1: Everybody was doing the exact same thing, everybody, and so
Speaker 1: it forced us all to just like go back to
Speaker 1: our roots. And I think innately the roots of humans
Speaker 1: is just kindness. We want to be kind people, and
Speaker 1: we and we could be for the first time because
Speaker 1: all distractions of life were gone and we had nothing
Speaker 1: else to do. I don't know if I could rally
Speaker 1: this army now with everybody back in their lives and
Speaker 1: work and busyness. But at the moment, it's like it
Speaker 1: was this perfect, weird moment of everybody needing a community,
Speaker 1: needing something to do. And so I think when I
Speaker 1: was like three pm, everybody's singing. Everybody was like, it
Speaker 1: is on the schedule. I have nothing else on the schedule,
Speaker 1: but I have that three pm. We're saying it, I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't lie on the couch, and three I have
Speaker 1: to sing it through. Yes, it was like something to do,
Speaker 1: and it gave people something to do. And I think
Speaker 1: also it goes without saying that we had just been
Speaker 1: told this was only putting old people in the ICU,
Speaker 1: and so Nick became the face of the fact that
Speaker 1: this could happen to a forty one year forty one
Speaker 1: year old UM and that was really terrifying, but also
Speaker 1: important for people to know, to to land that another
Speaker 1: thing you might not know. And I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: our listeners this for the very first time. UM. I
Speaker 1: have a little cabin um behind my house, UM that
Speaker 1: I named probably fifteen years ago when I got it
Speaker 1: brown Bear Cabin after Donald, And no one knows that
Speaker 1: unless you come here. We just jokingly all call it
Speaker 1: brown Bear Cabin because as you all know, I love
Speaker 1: Donald that I'm obsessed with all things Donald, face on him,
Speaker 1: naming structures after him. Well, that is where Amanda and
Speaker 1: Nick and Elvis were living when Nick got sick. So
Speaker 1: one of the most said three words in the whole
Speaker 1: book is brown Bear Cabin. So Donald, I want you
Speaker 1: to know that you're a big part of this book
Speaker 1: game where we lived, we couldn't do, weren't going anywhere else,
Speaker 1: You didn't. I mean, you know, at this time, we forget,
Speaker 1: you know how different the world was a year ago.
Speaker 1: You know, like we're already back into this new world.
Speaker 1: We forget a year ago. We were afraid to leave
Speaker 1: our house. We thought groceries had COVID on them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I remember wiping down my
Speaker 1: groceries with you know, antibacterial wipes and you know, like food,
Speaker 1: actual food, like literally wiping down tomatoes and apples and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Scared that I would I remember going
Speaker 1: outside and literally treating people like they had the plague,
Speaker 1: literally like don't come near, don't come near my family,
Speaker 1: don't caring for the hardest thing for me and a
Speaker 1: Mando was that I had to I said. As I
Speaker 1: finished the book, and I said to her, one of
Speaker 1: the things I said was I I we were just
Speaker 1: so scared. We didn't know what to do. AMANDU was
Speaker 1: with We didn't know if a man had it or not. Obviously,
Speaker 1: and a man is kind of living proof that someone
Speaker 1: can not get it, because the fact that you never
Speaker 1: got it is pretty miraculous. I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm still I know the science is still
Speaker 1: rolling out, but a man, the fact that Amanda never
Speaker 1: got it is pretty amazing. And so there were times,
Speaker 1: some of the hardest times. I can remember watching you
Speaker 1: cry and I didn't know what to do because I
Speaker 1: had to stay six feet from her, so I would
Speaker 1: stand there watching her cry, which I remember. Do you
Speaker 1: remember the day that Nick? So it was good Friday.
Speaker 1: Nick died on the table for two minutes. It was
Speaker 1: the first time that he died, and they resuscitated him
Speaker 1: and got him back and we're putting him on an ECMO.
Speaker 1: But there was a moment in time where I did
Speaker 1: not know if he was going to survive and be
Speaker 1: put on this machine. So I of course desperately called
Speaker 1: Zach and our friend Trevor, and they came running down.
Speaker 1: But they both like and I'm in the cabin obviously,
Speaker 1: I just got told my husband and died for two minutes.
Speaker 1: So I'm disastrous on the floor of the cabin. I
Speaker 1: don't even remember where Elvis was. I was like just
Speaker 1: I couldn't even focus. And I remember like both you
Speaker 1: and Trevor like you didn't like you cut you. It
Speaker 1: was the early days of COVID, like super early. This
Speaker 1: was like March, you know, end of March, Like we
Speaker 1: were all terrified. And I just remember, like you could
Speaker 1: you You didn't even want to walk in the cabin.
Speaker 1: You didn't know what to do. Probably put masks on, yeh.
Speaker 1: I sat like on the ground because Amanda was sobbing
Speaker 1: on the ground and Trevor and I sat six feet
Speaker 1: from her, um like on the ground with her. And
Speaker 1: it was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced
Speaker 1: in my life to not be able to go and
Speaker 1: hug someone in so much pain. Yeah, I was so crazy. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, but I could have. I mean, I could
Speaker 1: have had it, you know what I mean, like I
Speaker 1: think you know, yeah, I mean, yeah, luckily. I mean
Speaker 1: that was the weirdest thing though. I mean. Next doctor said,
Speaker 1: you know there's people in the icy or their whole
Speaker 1: family have got it, and then there's people like your family,
Speaker 1: where one person gets in everyone else is completely fine,
Speaker 1: which was what made it so hard. He said, all
Speaker 1: the time, it's like the wild world West. We do
Speaker 1: not know how to how to operate around this virus
Speaker 1: because it is always different and every crazy thing about
Speaker 1: Nick that a lot of people don't know, and you'll
Speaker 1: learn in the book, is that COVID came and did
Speaker 1: what it did to Nick's body and then left, so
Speaker 1: all of so much of what happened to Nick, COVID
Speaker 1: was long gone out of his body. He wasn't even
Speaker 1: on a COVID floor. But it came in, destroyed his lungs,
Speaker 1: destroyed his body and his organs, and then was gone.
Speaker 1: And that's something a lot of people are surprised by
Speaker 1: that Nick wasn't COVID positive for that long. I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember, you know what. I also remember, I remember
Speaker 1: Amanda telling us what was happening to Nick, and then
Speaker 1: that becoming news two weeks later or a week later,
Speaker 1: where was like, you know, it does this to your lungs,
Speaker 1: and then two weeks later the whole thing about how
Speaker 1: it affects people's respiratory system, how blood clotting could happen,
Speaker 1: and then two weeks later the blood cloud story. Can
Speaker 1: I just remember, I remember being like, holy cow, this
Speaker 1: dude's going through it seemed like he went through all
Speaker 1: of it, Like every effect that COVID could have on someone,
Speaker 1: he went through it. And I remember being like I
Speaker 1: remember being like, this is how is this happening to
Speaker 1: this one person? How is this one person experiencing all
Speaker 1: of these symptoms, you know? And you just said, you know,
Speaker 1: he only had it for a couple of weeks. And
Speaker 1: then that was it, Like it really took it, really did.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a nuclear bomb on his body. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just nuclear bombed his lungs. They said, what did
Speaker 1: they say? He looked like he was a smoker for
Speaker 1: fifty years, orn't yeah, yeah, oh yeah, you guys the
Speaker 1: first time they showed me his lung scans. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's the stories in the book. But I came home
Speaker 1: to the I couldn't even talk and taught and Anna
Speaker 1: knew something was wrong. And then I broke down and
Speaker 1: told them what I saw, and I thought for sure
Speaker 1: Nick would go that day. I was like those who
Speaker 1: you don't recover, I mean the huge holes in his lungs, huge,
Speaker 1: like you know. And then but then this is what's crazy,
Speaker 1: and you'll read about it in the book The Ups
Speaker 1: and Downs of the ICU. That's one doctor's opinion. And
Speaker 1: then literally the next morning after a X annex and
Speaker 1: no sleep that night because I thought no ways, my
Speaker 1: husband even making another day, I get another phone call
Speaker 1: from my doctor, who I love, the positive doctor, and
Speaker 1: he was like, Amanda, God gave us so much more
Speaker 1: long than we need. He's fine, And I was like, what, like,
Speaker 1: but like this was the daily literally the daily battle
Speaker 1: of my life during these times where it was like
Speaker 1: one doctor says something where you are like preparing for
Speaker 1: the worst, and then two seconds later they call and go, oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that are fine. Everything looks good, doing great today. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the frustrating things you'll read about the book
Speaker 1: is that Amanda had to deal with you know, doctors don't,
Speaker 1: as we know from the television show Scrubs, doctors don't
Speaker 1: always agree how to treat someone or what the prognosis is.
Speaker 1: And there was a roller coaster ride for her. But
Speaker 1: the flip side of things, man, is this a testament
Speaker 1: to a lot of amazing healthcare heroes in this book.
Speaker 1: The nurses that were angels angels angels to Amanda, and
Speaker 1: the orderlies and the doctors. There's one in particular. Amanda
Speaker 1: changed most of the names of people, not so not
Speaker 1: to disturb their privacy, but one doctor is such a hero,
Speaker 1: was such a hero is such a hero to Amanda
Speaker 1: that she asked his permission and kept his name because
Speaker 1: he's He's the kind of doctor we honor on this
Speaker 1: show and celebrate because he was by your side all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, he's the best. He's now my doctor.
Speaker 1: When I reached out to him after Nick passed, because
Speaker 1: I still hadn't found a doctor in LA, I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: doctor ing, um, I really need a doctor. Probably good
Speaker 1: for me to just you know, have somebody that I
Speaker 1: can go to, you know, at any time. And he
Speaker 1: was like, if you feel okay, It was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I would happily take you on as a patient. And
Speaker 1: he was like, I understand if that's weird though, And
Speaker 1: I was like, actually, no, I have your cell phone,
Speaker 1: which is amazing, and I can get a hold of
Speaker 1: you at any moment, and like we went to war together,
Speaker 1: like we really did. I mean he he says in
Speaker 1: this book after Nick passes, there's a beautiful moment where
Speaker 1: we get to kind of chat after a couple of days,
Speaker 1: and he said to me, he goes, I've talked to
Speaker 1: you more than my wife in the last three months,
Speaker 1: so not talking to you for three days felt very weird.
Speaker 1: How are you? What's the kind of man he is?
Speaker 1: And he would just text her all the time and
Speaker 1: and he's such a hero and and and by the way,
Speaker 1: this is happening to remind us all at the most
Speaker 1: insane time that's ever happened in this country, all while
Speaker 1: a pandemics going on at Cedar Sinai, one of the
Speaker 1: biggest hospitals in La So anyway, I love you, we
