Speaker 1: bring the magic. I'm excited for you. Donald, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about this? I show him gonna miss you.
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna miss you too. Donald and I
Speaker 1: went out and saw Black Widow at Man's Chinese Theater.
Speaker 1: We were in the theater, yeah, we had some of
Speaker 1: us obviously been in a theater. We wore our masks
Speaker 1: because we ain't trying to get that del to Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody trying to get that deal to that that Delta
Speaker 1: for real food? Yeah, that Delta doesn't. And then so
Speaker 1: then we saw the movie, which of course was amazing,
Speaker 1: and then we were going to go. It was also
Speaker 1: the opening nine of the Hotel Cafe, which was where
Speaker 1: all our friends play music and a great music venue
Speaker 1: if you ever visited Los Angeles and uh so we
Speaker 1: decided that we would walk from Man's Chinese to Kuwango
Speaker 1: which by which? Which is which is a wrong choice?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no no, not in this
Speaker 1: heat Listen. I'm from New York City, born and raised
Speaker 1: Hell's Kitchen, Hell's Kitchen, Times Square. I'm used to tourists.
Speaker 1: I'm used to the element that it brings to that
Speaker 1: area that you know. I'm used to it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say something right now, go ahead. I went into full
Speaker 1: bodyguard mode. Was like if Casey was a was a
Speaker 1: politician and Donald was like her secret service agent. Dude,
Speaker 1: if my wife was chew that night, she like she
Speaker 1: she had on the stuff. She was looking good. She
Speaker 1: looked like um. But anyway, No, it was a bit
Speaker 1: of a sketchy walk. It's funny. I've lived here twenty years.
Speaker 1: I've never walked down on Hollywood Boulevard. I've gone to
Speaker 1: Listen Boulevard several times, and I know I've gone to
Speaker 1: the theaters that are on a Hollywood Boulevard. I've done
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Gimmel show that's on Hollywood Boulevard. I have
Speaker 1: never walked down Hollywood Boulevard on a Saturday night at
Speaker 1: prime summertime. It's intense, it's live, Yes, it is. It
Speaker 1: was live. That's the way. That's the way to put it.
Speaker 1: It was sincerely reminded me of New York back in
Speaker 1: the day when I was a kid and the summertime,
Speaker 1: you know, Friday, Saturday night time Square. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this shit is not only is it popping right now,
Speaker 1: but there's an element of danger in the air. And
Speaker 1: I like the smell of it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, it was like it was just
Speaker 1: like like there was a guy on so much. There
Speaker 1: was a guy on whatever drug he was on, like
Speaker 1: splay down on the high walk, so you have to
Speaker 1: go around him, right, Yeah, So because he's on his
Speaker 1: ride and uh and as we're going around, he hears
Speaker 1: us say something. He's like, you don't know what the
Speaker 1: fire talking about. He goes shut the fuck up, and
Speaker 1: we were like, you don't know what I was And
Speaker 1: I was like, Donald, do not kill him. No, I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna that's the dude that you stay away from.
Speaker 1: What it was like, you throw a kick at that dude,
Speaker 1: he bites you. It was a little like Zombieland yeah,
Speaker 1: very much. Anyway, that was a very interesting, very interesting
Speaker 1: stroll we had that night. But then, but Donald, you
Speaker 1: love the mo more importantly, you love the movie as
Speaker 1: a Marvel fan. I did love the movie as a
Speaker 1: Marvel fan. I mean it's out everybody, everybody can see it. Joel,
Speaker 1: did you like it? I loved It's so funny, like
Speaker 1: I do not expect it to be funny at all,
Speaker 1: and it's super is. I was worried about going back
Speaker 1: in time. You know, sometimes I can get a little sketchy,
Speaker 1: but I thought they pulled it off beautifully and added
Speaker 1: elements to like feature screenings of different movies. It's good.
Speaker 1: It's a good ride. I just you know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I don't watch these movies, as you know, I just
Speaker 1: cannot believe how incredible the visual effects Donald's you remember,
Speaker 1: I got when they when they got to the visual
Speaker 1: effects artists, which which in the crawl I just started.
Speaker 1: I started. I got the audience going with the round
Speaker 1: of applause. I did, right, it started with I like,
Speaker 1: I spread it all through Man's Chinese Theater. Because I
Speaker 1: have to say again, as someone who hasn't seen all
Speaker 1: of these movies, the I thought The visual effects were unbelievable.
Speaker 1: There is not a single thing that looked fake or
Speaker 1: green screen, and there's just giant sequences of them falling
Speaker 1: from the sky and doing insane shit that obviously is
Speaker 1: on green screen, and it looked flawless. It was so
Speaker 1: good that Zach got a very special episode of Boy
Speaker 1: Meets World slow clap going in the movie theater. That's
Speaker 1: how mean it was. I'm talking about when when when
Speaker 1: the artist, yeah, yeah, when the visual effects artists came up,
Speaker 1: you got a nice special episode. Or tonight on a
Speaker 1: very special episode of Boy Meets World, you got one
Speaker 1: of the slow claps at the end of the episode,
Speaker 1: you got one of those going yea where people were
Speaker 1: at the end applauding and cheering for the special effects artists.
Speaker 1: They deserved it, they deserved it. It was really really good.
Speaker 1: And we got Kevin Figi was at the r screening
Speaker 1: and he introduced the movie. That was really cool. That
Speaker 1: was cool. It took everything in my power not to
Speaker 1: be like, I'm Donald Faison, you're a huge fan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Donald was gonna bum rush him and asked for a role.
Speaker 1: It took everything in my power not when I was
Speaker 1: joking and he's like and and and then, so sit
Speaker 1: back and enjoy Black Widow. Now, if, by the way,
Speaker 1: if there's any forty seven year old African American actors
Speaker 1: in the audience, please see me at the back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know if you already said that. Oh, let's get
Speaker 1: into it, guys. We got a very very very wacky,
Speaker 1: very wacky funny episode. Donald counts six seven eight stories
Speaker 1: about show. We made about a bunch of doctor nurses stories.
Speaker 1: So get around, yeah around. I feel like I'm on
Speaker 1: drugs in this episode. I am so hyped up. I
Speaker 1: feel like this whole show was on drugs. I was
Speaker 1: laughing and with I was with Bill this weekend and
Speaker 1: we were just I was telling him how funny it
Speaker 1: is to watch the show, and how the tone of
Speaker 1: season five is so wacky. And I was telling you
Speaker 1: we were talking about the ostriches and we were just
Speaker 1: cracking up at how He's like, he'll come on and
Speaker 1: talk about it. He's like, I don't know, I got
Speaker 1: a little board, Ella board got a little whacky. I
Speaker 1: told you, man, That's what I felt like at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. I feel like everybody. I don't
Speaker 1: feel like everybody was bored, but I feel like it's
Speaker 1: not as fresh as new anymore. And now, you know,
Speaker 1: after three years in the NBA, you're a veteran, you're
Speaker 1: considerative vent And we were this is now five years
Speaker 1: on NBC Primetime comedy Thursday nights. Following we were following
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's friends now or if we're
Speaker 1: following Joey, but we're like, we're like, yeah, remember that,
Speaker 1: we're like the freaking We're a part of the Thursday
Speaker 1: night lineup. We're officially and we're and we're pushing up
Speaker 1: on a hundred episodes. Also, yeah, it's the hundreds. The
Speaker 1: next one, uh is one? The next one or this one?
Speaker 1: It's the next one? My way home? The hundred trivia
Speaker 1: for you trivia lovers is is the Wichard of Oz
Speaker 1: episode which I directed, which is I think one of
Speaker 1: the best episodes, not just because I directed it. Um
Speaker 1: And that's next, which I believe is the hundredth Yes,
Speaker 1: And so that being said, it's like, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of episodes. Man, that's a lot of that's a lot
Speaker 1: of you know what I mean. We all strive to
Speaker 1: do this as actors, to get on a television show,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a television actor, you want to
Speaker 1: get on a show that does one hundred episodes. That
Speaker 1: means you worked a lot. I means you made a
Speaker 1: lot of money. That means you did a lot of
Speaker 1: really good things, Like you feel really proud of the
Speaker 1: things you something was working right. So now we've reached
Speaker 1: that hump. We're pulling up on that hump. The motivation
Speaker 1: has to be from someone, has to come from somewhere else,
Speaker 1: because we're not freaking We're not as hungry as we
Speaker 1: used to be, for sure at this point. But I
Speaker 1: look like I mean, we look like we're having fun.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure. All I'm saying is, though, I'm
Speaker 1: so if you watch me in this episode, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on in my I'm I'm on level
Speaker 1: ten every single scene. Now. I know part of the
Speaker 1: plot is that I'm I'm so happy because I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm Cox's pier and I'm trying to out Cox
Speaker 1: Cox and be mister confident. But I'm just I think
Speaker 1: I'm particularly fucking hyped up and wacky in this episode.
Speaker 1: What's Up? I totally agree with you. I think the
Speaker 1: whole show is, but I Okay, so let's start from
Speaker 1: the beginning. You're on a mini scooter, right, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Sasha's in the shop. What's Sasha in the shop for?
Speaker 1: What is Sasha in the shop for? I forgot what
Speaker 1: happened to Sasha, but she's down for the count. Now
Speaker 1: this is the time, if you guys recall whatever year
Speaker 1: this was, two thousand and two thousand and six, Um,
Speaker 1: it's when all these little electric things came out, little
Speaker 1: scooters and little go carts and little everything. And we
Speaker 1: had them, and we had them all. We had them
Speaker 1: everywhere at the hospital and we would like ride them around.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. We would lie, we would ride
Speaker 1: them around the as we told you, our our our,
Speaker 1: our dressing rooms, in the production office. We're all on
Speaker 1: the third floor of the hospital. So we'd fly around
Speaker 1: the fucking whole third floor of the hospital on them.
Speaker 1: And uh and I'm sure that's where Bill got Dadda
Speaker 1: to put this tiny little thing in the show. We
Speaker 1: were literally like hamsters in the cage man, And that
Speaker 1: was our and that was our track. That's a good analogy.
Speaker 1: That's a good analogy. That was our that was our
Speaker 1: spinning wheel. And and we had no thing to do.
Speaker 1: There was so much downtime. Donald played a lot of
Speaker 1: Grand Theft, aught on a lot of GTA Miami. That
Speaker 1: was what Miami. The Miami one was out finish that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Donald was down. Should get Donald could get lost in
Speaker 1: a video game like so many can. I probably should have.
Speaker 1: I did play some Hitman, but then I was just like,
Speaker 1: I was just like, I was like, like he said,
Speaker 1: a hamster on a fucking wheel. So we would just
Speaker 1: find wacky shit to do, like like have a scooter
Speaker 1: races around in the hospital. Yea, yeah, so that tiny
Speaker 1: motorcycle got worked in. I thought that was funny. I
Speaker 1: ride it through the bushes with a Classic and then
Speaker 1: I'm carrying it through the hospital. That's how small it is, right,
Speaker 1: But I don't know, just this is what I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Because he has a mini bike. The ladies love him.
Speaker 1: He's feeling himself because he thinks but that was fantasy. No,
Speaker 1: but he thinks that that ride is a lot hotter
Speaker 1: than it is. He thinks it's a turn on. He's
Speaker 1: like sitting on the counter. The ladies are all gathered
Speaker 1: around him, the nurses, and he's like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's uh you know, I don't know what I say,
Speaker 1: but something bragging about the hog. Yeah, I know, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, weren't we just at a point
Speaker 1: where jad was lonely and I think he is still lonely.
Speaker 1: He's just he could have had any one of those
Speaker 1: nurses at that point, of course. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if he could have them. They're just they're just they're
Speaker 1: just they're like listening to his tales of wiping out
Speaker 1: on his mini scooters. By the way, I like the
Speaker 1: shot Victor Nelly directed this of going through the going
Speaker 1: through the ceiling and the floor and showing the rat inside.
Speaker 1: That was cool. Yeah, this is Victor Nelly. And Kevin
Speaker 1: Beagle wrote, um, now let's talk about the Todd. You
Speaker 1: can see his shaft bouncing. What when the Todd finds
Speaker 1: the janitor in on the in the in the stolen
Speaker 1: therapeutic bath on the roofs okay, Todd comes in to
Speaker 1: find the janitor has put a no banana hammocks on
Speaker 1: the bath, right, and as Todd comes in, you can
Speaker 1: see his shaft as he walks sort of bounce against
Speaker 1: his banana hammock. And then the sun hits it. And
Speaker 1: it sort of glimmers what I went back and watched again.
Speaker 1: It bounces, it like an elephant's trunk. It bounces. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm just telling you. I just couldn't believe
Speaker 1: that this was on NBC because it's very, very revealing.
Speaker 1: Speaking of very revealing moments, I'm playing a lot of tennis. Now,
Speaker 1: what does that have to do with anything? Ahead I've
Speaker 1: gotten back into it. No banana hammocks on a tennis court, though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't rock a banana hammock on the tennis court. You
Speaker 1: gotta get into pickleball. I played like twice and I
Speaker 1: love it. What does pickleball, dude, I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: M It's like small tennis basically, but you play with
Speaker 1: the whiffleball and you play with paddles instead of a racket,
Speaker 1: and you'd be so amazing at it because it's kind
Speaker 1: of like ping pong meets tennis. You can put so
Speaker 1: much spin on the ball, and you play doubles because
Speaker 1: that's well, you don't have to, but most people play doubles,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like you're standing on the ping
Speaker 1: pong table, you know, obviously, but a bigger scale and
Speaker 1: it's really fast. It's all about volleying and it's fun.
Speaker 1: You'd love it. I play with Bill and he's obviously
Speaker 1: really really good gets spending a lot of time together. Huh. Well,
Speaker 1: I love him and I'm leaving and I love you,
Speaker 1: and that's why I spent time with you, because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get in. I'm trying to get in on
Speaker 1: my all my savors. How long are you going to
Speaker 1: be gone? For? Um? A long time. I'm gonna be gone.
Speaker 1: I'm going in with Atlanta briefly to do a part
Speaker 1: in a movie with Berlandi's producing and the actor's Cole Sprouse,
Speaker 1: a popular, nice seeming actor. I've never met him before.
Speaker 1: I'm going to meet him on Wednesday, and then I'm
Speaker 1: going you guys have Phil Lewis in common? Yes, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about whoileis UM and then um and then I'm
Speaker 1: going to New York to prep um, you know, my film,
Speaker 1: and then eventually shoot my film. So I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: there until probably December, so the rest of the year, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much. So I just want you to save her.
Speaker 1: I need you to save her. I'm trying to save her.
Speaker 1: But you're spending all your time with Bill Lawrence. Well,
Speaker 1: don't be jealous. I went to the movies with you.
Speaker 1: We had our sketchy walked down together, sat in the dark. Okay,
Speaker 1: we sat in the dark and then we walked out here.
Speaker 1: You didn't shot. You didn't offer me one sour pitch patch. Kid.
Speaker 1: I thought Trona died. You got a six pack? You
Speaker 1: got six pack abs right. I didn't want one. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to be offered one. Oh, next time, Okay,
Speaker 1: So TODs. So Todd's balls are bouncing. It's on his balls.
Speaker 1: You can see that the shaft is just gently lifting
Speaker 1: as as as he's walking. I noticed that. You'll all
Speaker 1: want to go back and watch. And he's and he
Speaker 1: says to the janitor, can I He's like, can I
Speaker 1: get in? And he says, if you get in here,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hang you by that banana hammock. Yeah, atomic
Speaker 1: weggie right off the side of this roof. Yes. And
Speaker 1: then the janitor uses a mirror to blind me so
Speaker 1: that I crashed the scooter right, and um, yes, I'm
Speaker 1: bragging to the nurses and I say I'm a lifetime
Speaker 1: member of the Danger Club, and um, they're impressed. And
Speaker 1: then I throw away my scooter. And then um, then
Speaker 1: we do this sequence of where we talk about pain
Speaker 1: tolerance and Beard Fusse is pulling a hook out of
Speaker 1: a S and M guy's face. Yes, what does he
Speaker 1: do at this hospital? I don't know. I thought we
Speaker 1: settled on him being either a pharmacist or a There
Speaker 1: was talk that he's an anesthesiologist maybe, but why would
Speaker 1: an anesthesiologist be pulling a hook? I think it's safe
Speaker 1: to say. I think if you ask Bill, we don't
Speaker 1: need to ask Bill, because I can tell you Bill
Speaker 1: would say there is I have no idea what he does.
Speaker 1: But the point is is that he's just a generic
Speaker 1: doctor at the hospital. We know that he does like
Speaker 1: to spend his downtime in the pharmacy, because he is
Speaker 1: often in the pharmacy. The pharmacy and um and but no,
Speaker 1: in this episode, he is removing a hook from a
Speaker 1: I guess, I uh, what do you call that, Joel?
Speaker 1: What do you call that? Someone who is in leathers
Speaker 1: and likes needles in their face? They remember the BDSM community. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's a member of them, stand for Bondage and Submission
Speaker 1: b d S and he's into b d S M
Speaker 1: and uh, but he's gone too far obviously because he's
Speaker 1: in the hospital with a hook in his face and
Speaker 1: as Beard FAA is trying to remove it, but he's
Speaker 1: steaming in agony in pleasure. Oh yeah, what does he say?
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, oh, I forget what he says at
Speaker 1: the end of it, but it's definitely that of yes, don't.
Speaker 1: We don't really learn if he's completing his what he
Speaker 1: began at home or not, but we can assume he
Speaker 1: might be um. And then we see Todd's atomic lea wait, no,
Speaker 1: we don't. We go to the face chart and the
Speaker 1: guy with the face first, the patient match is the
Speaker 1: face chart perfectly, which I laughed out loud at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was funny. And then Todd jumps and then Todd
Speaker 1: we see the atomic weggie, which is way too big.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's way too how how first of all,
Speaker 1: not just his underwear? How wide does the janitor's reach
Speaker 1: have to be to be able to to be able
Speaker 1: to have a wedgie that wide hanging? It's literally it's
Speaker 1: literally his whole body plus some So the janitor's reach
Speaker 1: has to be that of a crane pretty much. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but all I know is that the underwear
Speaker 1: itself would be like that would be like, no, it
Speaker 1: would be enormous. It would be like the biggest fucking
Speaker 1: pair of underwear ever. But I laughed how loud. It
Speaker 1: was so fucking funny. And then he hits the glass.
Speaker 1: That was fun and I and for some reason, I
Speaker 1: remember this episode. Maybe it's because of the Indiana Jones spot,
Speaker 1: but I remember this episode. And I remember Todd laughing,
Speaker 1: well like screaming, but actually laughing. Anytime he was naked.
Speaker 1: He was giggling. He thought it was so funny. I
Speaker 1: think he's a bit of an exhibitionist rob because by
Speaker 1: the way that ething we did aired, and I didn't
Speaker 1: hear anybody talk about it. I don't know if anyone
Speaker 1: saw it. I didn't. I didn't see it either. I
Speaker 1: had no idea. Did you guys know that you're in it?
Speaker 1: That's crazy. You have cameo, Joel, you have a well
Speaker 1: I don't know if you see Daniel in the booth,
Speaker 1: but Joel, you have a cameo. That's very I'll tell
Speaker 1: my mother. She was so excited. Yeah, tell your mom.
Speaker 1: I think your mom slid into my DMS. Stop it. No,
Speaker 1: did she she is on Instagram. She does she does
Speaker 1: comment some time. Oh lord, I want you to know
Speaker 1: that it went down in the MS. Boy, No, it's
Speaker 1: very sweet. I think it was something like thank you
Speaker 1: for being so wonderful to my daughter. That sounds like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she was very sweet. I don't have to talk to
Speaker 1: her about it. I don't know if it was her
Speaker 1: or someone pretending to be her. Um, I'm gonna ask her.
Speaker 1: I don't her I was I was scrolling. Um. Now
Speaker 1: JD gets his ass kicked by a kid, his neighbor,
Speaker 1: Eliot's neighbor, a six year old kid, beach Ja. Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: one time only he's not gonna do what happened when
Speaker 1: the last time that he fucked up the scooter he
Speaker 1: beat me up. Yeah right, it's it's now this whole rant.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be coxed in the ICU, right, I'm like,
Speaker 1: is this your second one or your third one that
Speaker 1: you've had. I don't know, because it feels like you
Speaker 1: have a lot of long mono monologues. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of monologues, like Boston around my interns and telling
Speaker 1: him what to do. I'm trying to I'm so want
Speaker 1: to be cocks but um, I this once again I
Speaker 1: fall flat on my face. It's you know, these episodes
Speaker 1: about him teaching me a big lesson, um about not
Speaker 1: to give up on a patient before they're ready to
Speaker 1: give up themselves. Now, Gary Busey, Sarah, Sarah Elliott gets
Speaker 1: mistaken for Gary Busey, and there's a really random Gary
Speaker 1: Busey cameo and Gary Busey exits the nurses station and
Speaker 1: you say, bye, Elliott. Yeah, I didn't. I This is
Speaker 1: another thing. This is where I'm like, I don't get this,
Speaker 1: Like this is like this is part of the show,
Speaker 1: but it's hell yeah if you're a stoner. Even a
Speaker 1: stoner would be like, I don't understand this, man, What
Speaker 1: didn't you understand? What the fuck is Gary Busey doing
Speaker 1: hanging out the hospital, dude? And it's not a freaking
Speaker 1: and it's not a freaking fantasy man. In the world
Speaker 1: of scrubs, Gary Busey is a doctor. No, a guy
Speaker 1: who looks a lot like Gary Busey. Nobody, Nobody, nobody,
Speaker 1: I think again. I think Bill was like how funny
Speaker 1: would it be? First of all, I wonder if Sarah
Speaker 1: was offended by being told she looked like Gary um
Speaker 1: because no offense to Gary Busey. It's not really a
Speaker 1: complement a woman would want to hear. I don't say,
Speaker 1: Joel No. Yeah so, but it was random. I think
Speaker 1: he comes back again on his on his U I
Speaker 1: saw and scrubs wiki on his name tag his picture
Speaker 1: is Sarah. No. The people in the name tag and
Speaker 1: the people in the name tag office also were confused.
Speaker 1: Yeah so as somebody who smokes jazz cabbage every now
Speaker 1: and then. This did not make sense to me. This
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like this this episode. As as
Speaker 1: much as I laughed at this episode, this episode seems
Speaker 1: like you know, and it has some really grounding moments
Speaker 1: between j D and Cox, but everything around it other
Speaker 1: than that is like what the heck? Like everything, doctor Acula.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're rushing through alight, We're gonna take a break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. Yes, it is a very
Speaker 1: donory episode. If you like jazz cabbage, this is a
Speaker 1: good one for you. This is crazy, dude, I go
Speaker 1: up somebody's butt and find a golden colon as Indiana Jones.
Speaker 1: Now you must have loved this because you this was,
Speaker 1: first of all, a very funny, big fantasy. They clearly
Speaker 1: built the inside of a colon as a set. And
Speaker 1: you love Indiana Jones, So was this a big moment
Speaker 1: for you? I tried to do my best Indiana Jones walk.
Speaker 1: I tried to do everything that I could to pay
Speaker 1: homage to one of my favorite characters in cinema history. Well,
Speaker 1: I think you did a really great job. Now you
Speaker 1: you there's some clear references to Indiana Jones, right, instead
Speaker 1: of you go colon, why didn't have to be the colon? Right?
Speaker 1: Instead of snakes? Why didn't have to be snakes? Right?
Speaker 1: And then they did a good job with those arrows
Speaker 1: that looked good. Ye have special effects department, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was all effects, But I mean, for it looks good.
Speaker 1: And then you place the tumor with a bag of sand.
Speaker 1: Sand is that what it is in the movie? It
Speaker 1: is in the movie. It's a bag of sand. And
Speaker 1: he tries to weigh the sand to match the ambulet
Speaker 1: and not the ambulet the idol. And then you come
Speaker 1: out and then the nurses have arrows in them and
Speaker 1: you say something like they knew the risk, something like
Speaker 1: they knew that Indiana Jones too. No, that's not Okay, Joel,
Speaker 1: Are you a big Indiana Jones fan like Donald? Oh?
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I mean all the Okay, can I can?
Speaker 1: I can? I can? I ask you a question? Are
Speaker 1: you Are you saying that the fourth one doesn't count?
Speaker 1: What fourth one? Oh? Very good? People feel about this? Is?
Speaker 1: This is what I was going to ask you, because
Speaker 1: and and you write about that too. A lot of
Speaker 1: people pretend that the sea the ninth season of Scrubs
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. Are you excited for Indiana Jones the next one?
Speaker 1: Am I excited for the next one? Yes, Joel? Uh, well,
Speaker 1: we'll see how I'm gonna see it. You know obviously
Speaker 1: all the franchise properties. Am I excited for it? No?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll have like a countdown going, and I'm
Speaker 1: not checking for new trailers. But it's like I imagine
Speaker 1: when Charles Bronson was getting old as fun, people were like,
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I could go see this
Speaker 1: movie anymore, you know what I mean? Not that Harrison
Speaker 1: Ford as old as fuck, but like he's getting up
Speaker 1: there in age now, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can buy him freaking beating
Speaker 1: the crap out of twenty five year old not see men,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like it's like, yeah, and
Speaker 1: they haven't aged up the storyline at all either, Like
Speaker 1: a forty five year old like anthropologist is doing much
Speaker 1: different things than a seventy year old anthropologist, Like if
Speaker 1: you're in the field, what does that look like? And
Speaker 1: how does it change? And are you you know he's
Speaker 1: a teacher, Like, there's so many opportunities, I think, for
Speaker 1: different storylines that make sense, that keep that classic cinema
Speaker 1: style that sort of made the original three so successful.
Speaker 1: So oh, I don't know know who's directing it actually
Speaker 1: mean it out, but him going to war against a
Speaker 1: bunch of freaking people and fisticuffs and all of that shit.
Speaker 1: It just I can't buy that. I'm sorry. I loved
Speaker 1: the movies, you know, I love the suspended reality of
Speaker 1: movies and everything like that, But that's some bullshit. Dude,
Speaker 1: Come on, man, Oh, well, you know what, James Mangold,
Speaker 1: who wrote Logan, is doing it. And I love Logan
Speaker 1: and he did an older Logan, so maybe yeah. But
Speaker 1: Logan's also a superhero, you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 1: the one thing that you could the dude has super
Speaker 1: strength and healing. If you removed at the superhero elements
Speaker 1: from that movie, it would still be bombed. It's still
Speaker 1: be so good. Well, he'd be dead in the first
Speaker 1: five minutes of the moment too. If he survived the shooting,
Speaker 1: it still here, So JD doesn't know that Arnold Palmer
Speaker 1: is a golfer. That was really funny. I think that
Speaker 1: was weird to me. That was also right hating on
Speaker 1: this episode because it just was out of control. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not hating on it. I just thought
Speaker 1: this episode was out of you. I love the show Scrubs.
Speaker 1: I love the music, I love I love I love
Speaker 1: the actors, I love the character. Well, I thought it
Speaker 1: was very funny when I say, he going, I'm talking
Speaker 1: to him about the Arnold Palmer drink and then he
Speaker 1: says Arnlod Palmer's a golfer, and I go, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he has a lot of hobbies. Perry the man's a
Speaker 1: drink mugul. Now this part of the show I did
Speaker 1: laugh at and was like, this is this is the
Speaker 1: most scrubs out of everything. Everybody's around outside in the
Speaker 1: parking lot and Kelso goes, hold on, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: take a look around bleacher ladder bucket of combs. She's
Speaker 1: trying to take the picture, run and everybody runs, and
Speaker 1: everyone had been lured out to the parking lot being
Speaker 1: promised different things. Yes, and uh and Todd had thought
Speaker 1: there was a booby touching booth by the way, we
Speaker 1: skipped it. But the pictures of the of the other
Speaker 1: years where Carla has tried to get everyone together were
Speaker 1: so funny. It todds in everyone in a bananamic and
Speaker 1: like the first year there's like three people, second years
Speaker 1: is like two people, and then the last one is
Speaker 1: just him and Carlo. Yeah, the crew photo that has
Speaker 1: taken both at this point, the janitor ruins with his mirror,
Speaker 1: and the one at the end is all our crew.
Speaker 1: That's our actual crew, and that's not everybody. It gets
Speaker 1: a sense of how many people worked on the show.
Speaker 1: That's that's not even everybody, but that's as many people
Speaker 1: as were available that day to come be in the picture. Um.
Speaker 1: And at the end you'll notice that Bill is in
Speaker 1: it twice, so I'm sure on purpose knowing him. So
Speaker 1: there's a close up, um, and you see Bill in
Speaker 1: the background, and then it pops wide to show everyone
Speaker 1: and that and that he's lying. He's lying in front
Speaker 1: um like Waldo. Worst looked for Bill. But um, you
Speaker 1: know what I want to say something also, Buddy, because
Speaker 1: I have been shitting on this episode, but I also
Speaker 1: wrote in my notes, you know Zb's on fire this year.
Speaker 1: Oh well, there we go, finally you have some You
Speaker 1: literally are on fire this year. You have a rhythm going,
Speaker 1: You're very h you're very funny, and you're very charming.
Speaker 1: The thing that we didn't talk about is the bucket
Speaker 1: that sorry, the nurses basket and Jad taking a bite
Speaker 1: out of everything. Yeah, that was very very very very funny. Yea.
Speaker 1: And right after that, right after the last one happened
Speaker 1: where you I guess it's the fruit. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And you're like, whatever type of fruit that was that?
Speaker 1: You just say? I wrote ZB is on fire this year?
Speaker 1: You were Is this the first year you got nominated?
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but I definitely I feel
Speaker 1: that I'm extra silly this year. I look like I'm
Speaker 1: really happy to be there, not that I ever wasn't.
Speaker 1: I just mean, like, I don't know some seasons I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I had I just see an extra
Speaker 1: pep in my step. Better for worse. Maybe sometimes it
Speaker 1: was too much, but I just look like I'm all
Speaker 1: fucking stoked to be there, and I'm I know, I
Speaker 1: improv like a crazy person on this episode, a lot
Speaker 1: of this wacky shit. Bill and I and you were
Speaker 1: all just making up at the time. Now, so this
Speaker 1: was I don't think anyone ever thought Doctor Acula was
Speaker 1: going to become so popular. This was the very first
Speaker 1: mention of vampire Doctors and someone says vampire doctors, and
Speaker 1: I go, how did you know about my screenplay? And
Speaker 1: then the fans, as we all know now, thought that
Speaker 1: was so funny, And to this day it's one of
Speaker 1: the most referenced things that ever comes up in my life.
Speaker 1: Regarding Scrubs. People are like, when are you and Donald
Speaker 1: making Doctor Acula? I really think we should make it,
Speaker 1: but make it a animated cartoon or animated stop motion
Speaker 1: animated movie and we do the voices of the That's
Speaker 1: a great idea, you know. You know people always ask
Speaker 1: us to do about doing some sort of Scrubs thing now,
Speaker 1: and you know it would be the easiest thing, not
Speaker 1: easiest in terms of getting it made, but the easiest
Speaker 1: would be an animated thing. Yeah, an animated series, right
Speaker 1: because everyone everyone would of course lend their voice and
Speaker 1: I don't know who the fuck's going to write it,
Speaker 1: but I mean like, it wouldn't have we wouldn't have
Speaker 1: to all figure out schedules and how to get it together.
Speaker 1: But that would be that would be cool, Like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be dope. Like think about it. There's Clone High,
Speaker 1: there's what name was. I mean back in the day
Speaker 1: when we were kids, sitcoms did actually become cartoons on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Like there was Punky Brewster, there was Steve Berkel, there
Speaker 1: was a bunch of those. It would be really cool
Speaker 1: actually for Scrubs to become a sitcom animated show. I personally,
Speaker 1: you know, me and you all who listened to the podcast,
Speaker 1: note that I would prefer to be stop motion. I
Speaker 1: think that would be a really cool, right, But it
Speaker 1: isn't that so much more expensive to do stop motion? No,
Speaker 1: not necessarily, it's all It all costs money, no matter
Speaker 1: how you look at it. It all takes right. But
Speaker 1: I'm saying, compared to two D animation, um, isn't stop
Speaker 1: motion a lot more expensive to make? I don't know
Speaker 1: the answer to that, to be honest with you, you
Speaker 1: might because you're so into the well, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I don't know how much RYA.
Speaker 1: Those are all two D animated shows, I mean movies
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and I imagine that, you know,
Speaker 1: having animator's period, paying animators long hours, it still takes
Speaker 1: years to make. I don't know. I can't answer that question. Well,
Speaker 1: can you see if you can find an answer to that.
Speaker 1: I've I never know the answer, like is I would
Speaker 1: just assume in my head when I watch the stop
Speaker 1: motion videos of them doing it, like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: But it all takes time. It all takes time. That's
Speaker 1: the thing, though, And it all takes I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like one person in CG animation doesn't
Speaker 1: do everything. They do one thing and then another person
Speaker 1: does the shadowing, and then another person does the coloring,
Speaker 1: and then you know, I'm just curious, like if you
Speaker 1: I'm curious to the answer if which one in general
Speaker 1: costs more? And Joel's gonna find out the answer. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a random momentum who gave her a shade remote.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we had shade remote. I don't know
Speaker 1: where that comes out. Um, oh no, So then this
Speaker 1: is really funny when I when when I when I'm
Speaker 1: telling you guys about first of all, I sucked the
Speaker 1: blood out of the you know, the female patient, and
Speaker 1: then I spit it into the test tube and that's
Speaker 1: a fantasy. And we pop and I'm telling you guys
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria about my my screenplay, and you guys
Speaker 1: are so geeked out about it. Donald, You're really into it.
Speaker 1: You're ready to start. And then I and I go
Speaker 1: and then and you see the doctor Acula with the
Speaker 1: period come up on the screen, and I'm like, you
Speaker 1: take that period, you get it out of there, you
Speaker 1: squish it together. It says Dracula. And then you're like,
Speaker 1: that's an awesome ending. And I go, thank you for
Speaker 1: telling me what I already know. Turk, you know you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I just realized something. JD wrote Doctor Acula. It's his story,
Speaker 1: it's his story, and he keeps trying to get it.
Speaker 1: Mean well, when this continues the joke, we we we
Speaker 1: keep trying to find moments to to to make it
Speaker 1: in the hospital, right, that's when you wig, yeah, with
Speaker 1: that wig moment. That is so funny when you the
Speaker 1: camera cuts straight out of shuffle. Yeah, the camera, the
Speaker 1: camera falls over and now I'm wearing the wig. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's funny. Um. Yeah. My other idea, my
Speaker 1: other idea I pitched a bill. I know I mentioned
Speaker 1: it on here, but my my idea for a Scrubs
Speaker 1: movie was that somehow we come, we come into money,
Speaker 1: like a patient leaves us money or something, and we
Speaker 1: and we use that money to to finally make Doctor Acula.
Speaker 1: It'd be hilarious. A live action version, Yeah, a live
Speaker 1: action version of Doctor Actil. Would it have crazy special
Speaker 1: effects like real explosions and special effects? Sure? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I just know that the fans anytime you
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff, they go and when you like
Speaker 1: if I'm I have every like post a picture of
Speaker 1: mean like on a set, They're like, please tell me
Speaker 1: it's doctor Accula, a figure of me, like behind a
Speaker 1: movie camera. Everyone people are somebod people are like, finally
Speaker 1: making Accula. Huh. Imagine if we really made Doctor Accula
Speaker 1: and we went all out, balls out and fucking like
Speaker 1: black Widow Dead bad boy, like straight up like with
Speaker 1: the uber duper special effects, we should call Kevin Figi
Speaker 1: and be like, listen, we got it. I know it's
Speaker 1: not a Marvel property, but we have an idea for you.
Speaker 1: We got a bad guy for Blade. We got the
Speaker 1: bad guy for Blade. It's Doctor Accula, played by two actors,
Speaker 1: Donald Phazon and Zach Braf. What is Joel saying here?
Speaker 1: So basically Missing Link, which is a movie like I
Speaker 1: did that stop motion, I had a budget of one
Speaker 1: hundred and two point three million. And then Over the Moon,
Speaker 1: which is a CGI movie that came out the same
Speaker 1: year for Netflix, was forty four million. That's different. That's
Speaker 1: different the same level of talent. What about now just
Speaker 1: look at uh, look at Pixar, what Pixar costs and
Speaker 1: look at what do you Toy Story for a budget? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that doesn't count because of everyone's salaries on like
Speaker 1: a No, well this that movie we had. That movie
Speaker 1: had Zach Galafanaki, the one of them, the once she's
Speaker 1: talking about had Zach Galafanakis. No, but it's but it's
Speaker 1: by by by the time you're paying Tom imagine what
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks is being paid in the fourth version of
Speaker 1: Toy Story. You got you gotta do apples to apples. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's do Rayah and the last Dragon then okay,
Speaker 1: which is a couple of years later. That's a good.
Speaker 1: That's a good all right? So oh wow, so still
Speaker 1: there it is so stop motion costs more? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I got it, um Donald, your brain your brain freeze
Speaker 1: scream is very funny. It's very real. Have you ever
Speaker 1: had brain freeze? I hate freeze. I get it all
Speaker 1: the time. I hate it. Everyone has brain freeze. I
Speaker 1: know what the funny things about brain freeze is while
Speaker 1: you're screaming in agony, you're still scooping up the next bite. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody really hates brain freeze them. You know what you're
Speaker 1: supposed to do. By the way, here's a tip from
Speaker 1: a fake doctor. You're supposed to press your tongue to
Speaker 1: the roof of your mouth right now. You're not have
Speaker 1: heard that, But do you know why? I assume because
Speaker 1: your tongue is warm and it's gonna heat up the
Speaker 1: cold spot right well, yeah, because that's where your brain freezes.
Speaker 1: Your brain freezes when your tongue hits when the cold
Speaker 1: hits the roof of your mouth. Hey, what a weird
Speaker 1: human defect. Yeah, so look, we pretty much went through
Speaker 1: all the show. Do we go that shit? Calm down? Yes, um, okay,
Speaker 1: you're just okay, what sumbala? That ship was hilarious. He goes,
Speaker 1: how old do you think I am? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: change the subject. You and Eden should come over for
Speaker 1: some jumbalaya. And he goes, oh, it would be good
Speaker 1: to get her out of the house, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: change the subject back. You're seventy eight, sir, you think
Speaker 1: I'm not old? Jumbalaya? That's funny, right, That's very funny.
Speaker 1: And then he admits. He admits that he um, he
Speaker 1: trolls from He trolls Brookstone Stone. He hangs out at Brookstone.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if there's still are Brookstones. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if things just either. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I used to love Brookstone and the Sharper Immage
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, if you went into the
Speaker 1: Sharper Image, I just thought it was the coolest place
Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah. Absolutely, I would say. I would
Speaker 1: get the Sharper Immage catalog right, and I'd have my
Speaker 1: little bottom. I'm I'm taking a twozie and I and
Speaker 1: I just I put the catalog out on my lap
Speaker 1: and I turned and my thing and I would listen.
Speaker 1: I be so excited. I like, wait for this. It
Speaker 1: was like a I wait for the catalog to do
Speaker 1: this pooh, and then I'd on each page, I'd be like, okay,
Speaker 1: I could pick one thing, I'd pick this, Okay, next
Speaker 1: page folded over. Okay, if I could pick one thing,
Speaker 1: I would pick this. And I would play that game
Speaker 1: with myself when we listened back to this, I want
Speaker 1: you to listen to how you set that story up.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you how geeked I was. Like when
Speaker 1: it was a Sharper Image catalog day and I had
Speaker 1: a pooh, it was very exciting. I would like, I'd
Speaker 1: like fold down the corners, being like one day I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get that massage chair. Do you want to know
Speaker 1: when I realized Star Wars was like a big deal
Speaker 1: for me when somebody came over and was like, wow, man,
Speaker 1: you got Star Wars in your bathroom. Like I literally
Speaker 1: had Star Wars books because I thought it was cool
Speaker 1: for people when they came over and they were taking
Speaker 1: I was for your guests so they could they could
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I had it lined
Speaker 1: up in you know, in series order all of these
Speaker 1: comics and everything, like the people are gonna spend a
Speaker 1: long time in your bathroom. Do you think it's weird
Speaker 1: to lay out reading materials for guests in the guest bathroom.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think now that we know about hygiene
Speaker 1: like uh, COVID hygiene and stuff like that, I think
Speaker 1: it's weird because you know, wiping your ass and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Then I know, but when your guests are
Speaker 1: coming over, like I'm talking about, like I have this
Speaker 1: little like half bath with it for guests right now,
Speaker 1: I have some reading materials in there that are just like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, take a look at this book. But
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, is that weird because I'm telling them, like,
Speaker 1: you know, don't just have a quick pooh, like, no,
Speaker 1: stay a while read it. Just like everybody has phones now,
Speaker 1: so I can't imagine let me just pick up this book,
Speaker 1: but if it's a comic book, you might pick it up.
Speaker 1: Like that's what that's That was my whole angle. My
Speaker 1: angle was I put comic books in here so that
Speaker 1: when they come and they can look at pictures, and
Speaker 1: you know, I bet there's so much less reading on
Speaker 1: the toilet now that people have phones like people just
Speaker 1: read their phone. Joel's right, they don't pick up a nice,
Speaker 1: a nice book that you've left out for your guests. Well, no,
Speaker 1: because hygiene now also suggests that that's not really the
Speaker 1: best idea. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put a piece of fishing line on the book and
Speaker 1: see if it breaks. I'm gonna see if anyone picked
Speaker 1: it up. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna hide
Speaker 1: a piece of fishing lines to the reading materials that
Speaker 1: I've set out and see if anyone picks them up. Um,
Speaker 1: the janitor is finally so thrilled to be included in
Speaker 1: the photo that he hugs Carla. Yes, he's so tired
Speaker 1: of being left out. Yes, who says this great line?
Speaker 1: Never make assumptions based on your own perceptions. It is
Speaker 1: it's him to me because I've made an assumption based
Speaker 1: on my perception of her age that she's ready to go,
Speaker 1: and she's like, what are you talking about. I'm not
Speaker 1: ready to go. I'm ready to fight this fucking thing.
Speaker 1: And I think that's very good. Scrubs Life advice for Earth.
Speaker 1: Never make assumptions based on your own perceptions. I think
Speaker 1: how many times you've gone down the road in your
Speaker 1: head making up these elaborate stories of what might be
Speaker 1: and none of it is true. It's just shit you're
Speaker 1: making up in your head. It's very hard to live
Speaker 1: by that when you have so many distractions like Facebook
Speaker 1: and Instagram. And I know, I'm just saying that, like you,
Speaker 1: we we something happens, we all make up an elaborate
Speaker 1: story of what we thought that that meant. And then
Speaker 1: of course when it's disproven, and you get all anxious
Speaker 1: in your head and depressed and pissed off, and then
Speaker 1: of course later nine percent times it's disproven and it's
Speaker 1: not that, and then you just move on to the
Speaker 1: next thing. You don't ever teach your brain and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: remember that day you spent stressed because you thought someone
Speaker 1: was ignoring you when they actually didn't see you. It's like,
Speaker 1: we don't we don't learn, you know. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: saying I shouldn't be saying a universal weed. I'm saying
Speaker 1: I I I find that I, you know, make assumptions
Speaker 1: based on my perceptions. Life would be so much easier
Speaker 1: if we could stop ourselves from doing that, because we
Speaker 1: suffer so much from things that we make up in
Speaker 1: our heads that aren't have any basis in reality. Challenge
Speaker 1: to shake your own perception that like literally shake the
Speaker 1: way you view the world. We're also given so many
Speaker 1: views of how the world should be for us, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like it's not like we're you know,
Speaker 1: you open up, you open up your phone, you turn
Speaker 1: on the TV. I'm not talking news like sitcoms, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, fantasy shows, whatever it is. There's so many
Speaker 1: things out there that are like so opposite of what
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. Like if you're trying to just
Speaker 1: be like, all right, if everything out there doesn't exist, well,
Speaker 1: it does exist, But if everything out there, my perception
Speaker 1: of what's out there isn't exactly accurate because I don't
Speaker 1: know what's out there. But yet I'm giving all of this,
Speaker 1: given all of this false information from I hate to
Speaker 1: say it, but from media, like whether it be you know, Instagram,
Speaker 1: whether it'd be television, whether it'd be you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: whether it be your favorite Uh. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know why today I'm such a I'm a hater. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm like a hater on everything you're in a weird
Speaker 1: mood today. I think we can all agree that you're
Speaker 1: in a weird mood. That's what I'm talking about, all right.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't saying I maybe I was misunderstood. I
Speaker 1: wasn't saying related to our perceptions of the media. I'm
Speaker 1: just to use a quick example, just meeting up out
Speaker 1: of the blue. You see a friend and they and
Speaker 1: you wave to them and they ignore you. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: you might spend if you're neurotic, and like me, you
Speaker 1: might spend all day going what the fuck did I
Speaker 1: do to Paul? Why is Paul mad at me? Fucking hell?
Speaker 1: I bet it's because, Oh I bet he's mad because
Speaker 1: of this, And I suffer all day long. And then
Speaker 1: later I run into Paul and I go, did I
Speaker 1: upset you? And He's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I didn't see you at the grocery store. What are
Speaker 1: you're talking about? Now? I spent the whole whole day
Speaker 1: anxious about what I did to Paul. I'm just talking
Speaker 1: about that level of shit. That's what I understood, And
Speaker 1: I think that I think it's other people suffer from this.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's horrible, it's it's it's and we just
Speaker 1: go from one thing or the other. Is that hard
Speaker 1: to shake the show? And I wish I got to
Speaker 1: pull a ball hit that. That's a fucking rip. Fucking
Speaker 1: holy cowd. You don't smoke it through a glass tube?
Speaker 1: Do you just roll it in papers? No? I smoke
Speaker 1: it through a glass tube. So you're back on that
Speaker 1: ganja huh. You know I decided today that I was
Speaker 1: going to get off of it. Actually all right, good.
Speaker 1: I decided to do the you can't do special occasions,
Speaker 1: you're not capable of that? No, I'm not incapable of
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Yeah, I've learned. Well, that's
Speaker 1: a good to admit to yourself. It's the truth. And
Speaker 1: so because of that, I've my wife's gonna be very
Speaker 1: happy about this. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for another streak. I'm of the school
Speaker 1: you're ready. Yeah, if you if one is incapable of
Speaker 1: not um doing something occasionally but they probably shouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: then I have. Then there's so many things in life
Speaker 1: that I can't do. What's the case, what are you
Speaker 1: incapable of doing occasionally? You want the HONESTO goin this truth.
Speaker 1: I know sex, but that's that's different. You love sex.
Speaker 1: We all know that. Besides sex, Um, I love toys.
Speaker 1: I mean things that could be harmful to your body,
Speaker 1: not toys. Oh woa shit weed sex, that's it all right,
Speaker 1: weed and sex. Well, you don't have to give up
Speaker 1: sex because your wife enjoys sex with you. I think
Speaker 1: I kill Should we bring the guests in, m let's
Speaker 1: do it. Let's take a quick break. I am going
Speaker 1: to pee urine through my No, they don't need to
Speaker 1: know that. They don't know. What's going to happen is
Speaker 1: my yurine is going to be pushed through my urretra
Speaker 1: and it's going to end up in a bull of
Speaker 1: water and we'll be right back. And we're bad. We're bad.
Speaker 1: I liked our new edge hearing the song I'm Woo.
Speaker 1: It's very hooky. So I'm not a big Are you
Speaker 1: a radio listener, Daniel or are you a I have
Speaker 1: my iPod and I found some songs on a you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, how do you do it?
Speaker 1: Spotify pretty much exclusively? Like I mostly listen when I'm
Speaker 1: at my computer, when I'm in the car, I'm either
Speaker 1: listening to podcasts or I'm listening to Spotify. Yes here
Speaker 1: I put on I vacillate between like Lithium on serious Um,

Speaker 1: the only problem with her doing that thing. I'd be
Speaker 1: I'd be in the audience and I'd be like, do
Speaker 1: love song? No, imagine what about when the people came
Speaker 1: to see your play that you think they're yelling to Clueless? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're clueless. Just did that monologue. It was funny. Clueless
Speaker 1: killed that monologue. What's up, clueless, clooness. There's actually a
Speaker 1: moment in that in the play that I did where
Speaker 1: we do break the fourth wall and we jump into
Speaker 1: the audience and take yeah, take a oh, but it's
Speaker 1: Steve Martin. You love it, I know, But I hate
Speaker 1: audience participation. I was, but it's Steve Martin, you love it.
Speaker 1: Don't say I don't want to be picked up on stage,
Speaker 1: but I'm from making me feel welcome. Zach, Why what
Speaker 1: did I do? He said, you hate audience participation? Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's different. I love guests, and I love our friends
Speaker 1: and fans of the show. I'd be saying. I whenever
Speaker 1: I'm in a play and they start coming into the
Speaker 1: audience and interacting with with the audience, I'm always like,
Speaker 1: oh no, oh no, don't like Like I remember when
Speaker 1: I was a kid and I saw cats and they
Speaker 1: were like sitting on your lap, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want that cat to see lap. Ready the cat,
Speaker 1: I don't want that. I don't want that freaking sweaty
Speaker 1: dancer on the ball tail looks like it hasn't been
Speaker 1: washed since eighty four. Yeah, I don't like audience participation.
Speaker 1: That show lied, man, That show lied, and it lied
Speaker 1: now and forever at the Winter Garden Theater. My ass, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you love that show, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say something I don't normally ever say bad about theater.
Speaker 1: Drum Roll show. It was it a good movie. It's
Speaker 1: I didn't make it through the movie, but it's like,
Speaker 1: it's poetry about cats. It's poetry about cats, which, if
Speaker 1: you love cats, is your jam. But it turns out
Speaker 1: it wasn't my jam. Oh sorry, do you love cats? Okay?
Speaker 1: So do you love cats? The musical point? You just
Speaker 1: proved my point. You're a crazy cat lady. Okay, this
Speaker 1: thing is made for you. Someone clearly went Andrew lad
Speaker 1: Webert Clearing went, oh my god, people love cats. What
Speaker 1: about a musical based on on cat poetry? And they
Speaker 1: couldn't get Trina and I'm a I'm a crazy cat,
Speaker 1: all right? Good? Well, you know there was a lot
Speaker 1: of debate and when they made the Cats movie. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know this, but when they
Speaker 1: originally did the the computer effects, they gave the cats
Speaker 1: assholes because yes, why did they take that out? Well,
Speaker 1: it was really distracting to see all the assholes. So
Speaker 1: then they digitally had to go back and remove all
Speaker 1: the assholes. And then I saw someone on Twitter was like,
Speaker 1: released the asshole cut? Who thought of that? That's my
Speaker 1: good question. I didn't. They mustn't went to all these
Speaker 1: things are tested. They wants to go to a test
Speaker 1: audience and someone's like, Okay, don't get me wrong, I
Speaker 1: love cats, I love poetry. Those fake assholes are really
Speaker 1: bumming me out. I can I can throw a random
Speaker 1: thought for you and Donald this a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I grew up in the Great City of Kentucky, and
Speaker 1: the Kentucky mascot used to have a tongue in his mouth. Um,
Speaker 1: if you look at it today, there's no tongue in
Speaker 1: the University of Kentucky mascot because if you look at it,
Speaker 1: it looks very phallic. Yeah. They had dick tongue. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: correct tongue. Dick tongue. So you've heard of twat ears.
Speaker 1: We now know of dick tongue. Yeah, so there there's
Speaker 1: some interesting folks out there. I guess that that seed
Speaker 1: a bunch of dick tongue. Well, well enough people saw
Speaker 1: dick tongue to be like, no, we got we gotta
Speaker 1: change that. So apparently, apparently like the Little Mermaid the
Speaker 1: on the VHS uh back in the day. I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is true or not, because I had
Speaker 1: the VHS, but then when I found this out, I
Speaker 1: didn't have that. I had, you know, CDD he drew
Speaker 1: a penis. He drew a penis as the castle, drew
Speaker 1: a penis as the castle. I had this hand the
Speaker 1: castle I had, I had, like, you're like penis castle. Anyway, Daniel,
Speaker 1: we need that on the soundboard please. I hope you're
Speaker 1: keeping a list of these. I just thought that. I
Speaker 1: just thought that was outrageously like how mad do you
Speaker 1: have to be to be Like, I'm gonna make it
Speaker 1: so that when kids look at the cover of this
Speaker 1: they take the dick pretty much like do you remember
Speaker 1: that camel the camel animated camel for Camel Cigarettes told
Speaker 1: me were crawling up clear a cock and balls. No,
Speaker 1: it was undeniable. If you look at the Joe Cammell
Speaker 1: animated character, he's face is a giant cock and balls. Yes,
Speaker 1: just Tren, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to say this in
Speaker 1: front of you. Joel's used language. I don't she's queen.
Speaker 1: Respect the queen. Um. Oh by the way, um, I
Speaker 1: want to say something. Sorry, Stephen and Trina, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have your moment. But I I the T shirt we
Speaker 1: put out with all the names on it. I kind
Speaker 1: of fucked up because I answered the question who should
Speaker 1: be on the T shirt like very late at night.
Speaker 1: And I want you to know that I took everyone's
Speaker 1: constructive criticism. And when I say constructive, I mean everyone's
Speaker 1: screaming at me. Um. And I fixed the T shirt
Speaker 1: so now it includes Ted, it includes Jordan, and I
Speaker 1: changed it from Todd to the Todd. So if you
Speaker 1: were someone who already bought it, like I think how
Speaker 1: many people, like five hundred people bought ye, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a very limited edition shirt. You got it. You
Speaker 1: got it, Stephen, uh No, but I should have invested.
Speaker 1: Oh anyway, My point is that was that was a
Speaker 1: limited edition. Those are gone and now I corrected, man
Speaker 1: we um, Now we have a fixed shirt. Anyway, they
Speaker 1: were on at cotton Bureau. You got at cotton bureau
Speaker 1: dot com and just look up Fake Doctor's Real Friends
Speaker 1: and you'll see uh the shirts. All right, guys, you
Speaker 1: have a question for us? Yeah, the first question I
Speaker 1: wanted to throw it at you was, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of times if you're just sad, upset, in a
Speaker 1: in a terrible mood, Um, what's kind of your your
Speaker 1: go to or one or two go to movies or
Speaker 1: TV shows that you can just watch over and over again,
Speaker 1: laugh and be in a good mood. Donald, that's a
Speaker 1: good question for you. Um, I like try. I like
Speaker 1: movies when I'm feeling down and out that are where
Speaker 1: the character kind of feels like I feel, but as
Speaker 1: triumphant in an Indian triumphant Indian I should. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so movies like growing up, I was a huge fan
Speaker 1: of Can't Buy Me Love, And you know, like rom
Speaker 1: coms are great for when you're in your field for
Speaker 1: me personally, when you're in your feelings and you want
Speaker 1: to you know, you want to still go through the emotions,
Speaker 1: but at the end of it, you want to feel love.
Speaker 1: Uh So for me, a good rom com is always
Speaker 1: great when I am in a bad mood. Absolutely. M
Speaker 1: I usually just try leane to comedy, you know, a
Speaker 1: half hour comedy. Um I've been Yeah, something that will
Speaker 1: make me laugh. I watched, Um, I've been watching the
Speaker 1: second season of Dave lately. Hilarious, really fucking bizarre and
Speaker 1: weird but funny. Um. Yeah, I tend to. I tend
Speaker 1: to seek out communic things I think to cheer me up. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: The other thing is with how music is kind of
Speaker 1: so important in scrubs and then just kind of evoking
Speaker 1: the emotions and you're in Donald's just absolute love for music.
Speaker 1: Music can bring you to that that that moment in
Speaker 1: that place, like a few other things I think can.
Speaker 1: And so my question is, is, um, what song and
Speaker 1: if and if you care to share the memory? Um,
Speaker 1: you know what's the key memory that a you know,
Speaker 1: what's the song that invokes the key memory? And if
Speaker 1: you care to share it, you know what the memory is. Okay,
Speaker 1: So for me, it's not my memory. It's well, it
Speaker 1: is my memory, but it it's not my emotion that
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it. Um. In Family Ties,
Speaker 1: it was the first time that I realized where I
Speaker 1: felt the angst for another character. And it was when
Speaker 1: Alex p. Keaton's girlfriend left for the first time and
Speaker 1: he is writing a letter to her at the kitchen
Speaker 1: table and the music that's playing in the background, I
Speaker 1: think is, what did you do you think I would
Speaker 1: do at this moment? Right? And that was like the
Speaker 1: first time that I felt that the you know that,
Speaker 1: you know, the you know I had. I had never
Speaker 1: felt love before when that came out. I had never
Speaker 1: felt you know, well, I felt love for my parents,
Speaker 1: but I had never felt like love for another, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a romantic love before, but through that I felt it,
Speaker 1: like really for the first time, through that moment, and
Speaker 1: so I I, you know, that's one that it's not
Speaker 1: my emotion. I mean, it's it was sparked by someone
Speaker 1: else's moment, but it's still resonated in me. Did you
Speaker 1: mean Steven specifically in in a piece of film or TV,
Speaker 1: not necessarily just just music in general. Yea, Because when
Speaker 1: I thought about it, I thought about Fooling the Rain
Speaker 1: with led Zeppelin, which is, uh, the song that we
Speaker 1: left and walked back down the aisle after our wedding
Speaker 1: kind of our our sol kind of brings me back
Speaker 1: to that memory and that, you know, goofy conversation on
Speaker 1: because we got buried on the beach afterwards, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, how far are we supposed to walk?
Speaker 1: How was to do here? We didn't do this in
Speaker 1: rehearsal very well. How find walk? Did you walk to
Speaker 1: make it to the ocean? Did make it? Yes? We
Speaker 1: kept on going. Threw her up in my arms and
Speaker 1: uh we we just kept on walking for a while.
Speaker 1: So what where where where do you? You said you
Speaker 1: you're in you were in Kentucky or you are still Um,
Speaker 1: we were we we are just south part of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: So we're in Georgia. Yeah, yeah, I'm coming there on.
Speaker 1: I'm coming to the atl I haven't flown in so long.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna suit up and come on a plane. Donald,
Speaker 1: you've flown to Atlanta? How long is the flight? Four
Speaker 1: hour flight? Four and a half hour flight from my lad? Yeah?
Speaker 1: About that? Yeah, yourself to watch. They call it Hot Lanta. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very hot right now. It's hot in La right now.
Speaker 1: It's La right now. Ye. I like it. Though people
Speaker 1: complain about it, but I like it. I love you
Speaker 1: like that heat. Like I much rather be hot than
Speaker 1: cold any any day. Absolutely, no doubt, no doubt that
Speaker 1: cold can kiss it. What do you think I might
Speaker 1: answer to your question? I was because I was going
Speaker 1: to answer, like, Donald, like, what song I've said this before.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to be a broken record, but the sea
Speaker 1: song that ends six feet under breathe me. I just
Speaker 1: heard it. I heard in the gym the other day,
Speaker 1: and I like instantly brought me back to all the
Speaker 1: emotions I had with that beautiful series ending and um
Speaker 1: and people think say that I'm decent at placing music.
Speaker 1: I think that it's one of the best place pieces
Speaker 1: of music in a in a show. This is so
Speaker 1: perfect and so moving to me. Okay, and then there's
Speaker 1: one song that makes me cry, no matter when it
Speaker 1: comes on, No matter what, I don't know why, I
Speaker 1: know what it is, what you're trying to get into,
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do. There can be mericos when
Speaker 1: you believe Zack Zille hasn't seen this movie, he doesn't
Speaker 1: know hope it is from this Phil No, this is
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston and Mariyah Kerry in first animated film. You
Speaker 1: can che when you believe somehow you will. All right,
Speaker 1: it's time for South Atlanta's favorite segments. It's time to
Speaker 1: fix You're ahead, guys, How can we help you in
Speaker 1: any way? We are your free coaches today. Well fantastic um.
Speaker 1: As as I kind of wrote in UM March of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we actually adopted or in the process of adopting,
Speaker 1: two children. We m We got a call in January
Speaker 1: UM and forty eight hours later our son had come
Speaker 1: up from college. We have an adult sign and we
Speaker 1: were on our way up to Virginia, about a twelve
Speaker 1: hour drive to go meet the young man that we
Speaker 1: found out was was available for for an adoption, and
Speaker 1: we met him his birth mother and his sister as well,
Speaker 1: and instantly we just we just knew it was absolutely right. Sorry,
Speaker 1: how old was the how old was the child? Abdul
Speaker 1: had just turned five years old and his little sister
Speaker 1: was still three, about to be four actually, um, And
Speaker 1: so we we bet and we kind of started the
Speaker 1: process and their their birth mother then suggested or kind
Speaker 1: of threw it out there of would you like to
Speaker 1: would you like to have Asha to come live with
Speaker 1: you as well temporarily temporarily, you know kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and we kind of understood that it was going to
Speaker 1: grow into keeping the children together and a brother sister adoption,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happened. And of course there's a
Speaker 1: you know, there's a pretty long story and all kinds
Speaker 1: of details, but you know, that's right when the pandemic
Speaker 1: and shut down hit and everything, which was a blessing
Speaker 1: and some challenges at the same time, and you know,
Speaker 1: but it gave us a chance to bond and grow
Speaker 1: as a family and our son ab Duel is um.
Speaker 1: We found out, you know, we went through the testing process,
Speaker 1: but he is actually UM on the autism spectrum and
Speaker 1: he's UM, you know, he's he's relatively high functioning UM
Speaker 1: and he's you know, been able to be a part
Speaker 1: of the neurotypical classroom and all that fun stuff. But
Speaker 1: it has presented some some craziness and some some fun
Speaker 1: and challenges. But we've also have a fantastic network of
Speaker 1: people around us and UM, some groups through our church
Speaker 1: and just various things UM that have particularly helped with
Speaker 1: with that. But specifically, what we wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: throw out at you guys, and knowing a little bit
Speaker 1: about Donald's background, UM, the reason I kind of reached
Speaker 1: out is we are you know, white Caucasian parents and
Speaker 1: both of our children are of mixed ethnicity. They are
Speaker 1: African American and Hispanic and Middle East, and so I
Speaker 1: wanted to kind of throw throw out some thoughts about
Speaker 1: blended families as far as ethnicity goes, UM, maybe some
Speaker 1: thoughts or challenges that have that have gone on there.
Speaker 1: And kind of the second part is, UM, you know,
Speaker 1: with the world, that's UM that's kind of gone on
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean America has always had trouble
Speaker 1: with with racial and ethnical relations. But of course it's
Speaker 1: been um magnified in our eyes, UM over the last
Speaker 1: year and a half, just becoming aware in a different way,
Speaker 1: and you know, just as as white parents, you know,
Speaker 1: being able to not just um love our children wholeheartedly
Speaker 1: and completely, just like we would with every child, but
Speaker 1: also understanding you know, what does it mean to be um?
Speaker 1: You know, what does it mean to be black in
Speaker 1: America today? And how can we help them see that experience?
Speaker 1: Honor that, my guess is the best. Wow before Donald
Speaker 1: and h and Joel answer that better uh than uh
Speaker 1: than Dane, and I think I could. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to say, it's it's so impressive what you've taken on
Speaker 1: adopting two children who who really needed a family, especially
Speaker 1: now you learn that your son has special needs. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a real testament to the kind of
Speaker 1: people you are. And uh I I I had tears
Speaker 1: in my eyes just listening to you talk, and so
Speaker 1: I I on behalf of the I'm sure so many
Speaker 1: people that are listening. Uh, it's it's beautiful that you've
Speaker 1: done what you've done and saved lives. Maybe figuratively but
Speaker 1: maybe literally, who knows. But I just think it's really
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful what you've done. Um and and
Speaker 1: also not to plug my movie, but this is in
Speaker 1: a comedic way, In a comedic way, this is what
Speaker 1: Cheaper by the Dozens about. Gabrielle Union and I are
Speaker 1: a black and white couple, and I don't you don't
Speaker 1: know anything about having black children. And and she's got
Speaker 1: an ex husband who's who wants the kids to be
Speaker 1: raised around them him, but he's never around anyway. You're
Speaker 1: gonna love the movie when it comes out. Also, but
Speaker 1: Donald and Joel, what would you do? You do you
Speaker 1: have any thoughts for them? How would you speak to
Speaker 1: how How does a pair of Caucasian parents make sure
Speaker 1: that a mixed race child is getting exposed to the
Speaker 1: right things that they should be exposed to. The great
Speaker 1: thing is is that whereas in the past there weren't
Speaker 1: great examples, there are a lot of great examples of
Speaker 1: actors mentioned one a Cheaper by the Dozen movie, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of examples of blended families. As far as
Speaker 1: the African American experience right now, as much knowledge as
Speaker 1: you can give your son about his ancestors. And now
Speaker 1: I don't mean his blood to his mom and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I mean like where he comes from. That's
Speaker 1: really important how he he got here. As long as
Speaker 1: he is given or she is given the truth about
Speaker 1: who they are, their blackness all, you know, as long
Speaker 1: as that is handed to them, they will have so
Speaker 1: much power and so much knowledge to take out into
Speaker 1: the world with. I think knowledge of self is very important,
Speaker 1: and I would assume and I would I would assume
Speaker 1: find ways in your community, whether it's through your church
Speaker 1: or through children's groups, whatever you can find that that
Speaker 1: put them around other children that are like them. I
Speaker 1: don't know what your town is like, but make sure
Speaker 1: that they're around other children of lots of different ethnicities,
Speaker 1: so they're not just growing up in a in a
Speaker 1: super Caucasian environmental environment. Yeah, you know, I grew up
Speaker 1: in a very diverse community. I grew up in house Kitchen,
Speaker 1: New York City, and it's it wasn't just black people.
Speaker 1: There were Spanish, Russian, Jewish, Muslim. I mean, it just
Speaker 1: was like a it's been melting. Everything's right, it's everything.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I understand a lot of people,
Speaker 1: the people in my community because we were all we
Speaker 1: were exposed to everything, you know what I mean everywhere
Speaker 1: I got to see everything. I got to see Hanaka
Speaker 1: with my friends, or kin Signetta with my other friends,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, it's just I got
Speaker 1: to experience different religions and different backgrounds. And so I
Speaker 1: think community building with the kids. I think that's a big, big, big,
Speaker 1: big part of creating confidence in them as well. I
Speaker 1: have well three three real quick tips. Uh. One, make
Speaker 1: sure they have toys that look like them, and then
Speaker 1: think those toys really well you know, um, I think
Speaker 1: that's really vital. Actually have mixed dolls too, if you
Speaker 1: seek them out. I only know because they were obviously
Speaker 1: props in our film that I was. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay. Uh. To make sure they know that they're beautiful.
Speaker 1: A lot of black kids think they're ugly. It's really sad.
Speaker 1: There are tons of studies on this. It seems a
Speaker 1: small thing, but it's really really big. And then three,
Speaker 1: I'm neuro divergent as well, so I can totally empathize
Speaker 1: and I would say, just be a total warrior when
Speaker 1: it comes to their teachers, particularly with your son. You know,
Speaker 1: I have a brother and it was just really a
Speaker 1: struggle for him in school. He was the only black
Speaker 1: kid in his class and sweetest kid ever, but the
Speaker 1: community didn't know that, and it took them a really
Speaker 1: long time to figure that out, and it was really
Speaker 1: really hard. So just make sure the teacher knows that
Speaker 1: you know your children and that you know them, and
Speaker 1: that you're watching and you're aware so that you can
Speaker 1: protect them when they're out in the world. And then
Speaker 1: one last thing, finally, just make sure they have adults
Speaker 1: of their same ethnicity engaging in their lives throughout because,
Speaker 1: like Donald was saying, you know, community is really good.
Speaker 1: There's also so much that you know, as like a
Speaker 1: young black kid growing up in a white community, I
Speaker 1: didn't know until I got older about just like how
Speaker 1: other black people engage with each other and things like that.
Speaker 1: That would have been really great to know what it's
Speaker 1: a black nod and why is it happening, and why
Speaker 1: is it important that I reciprocate that black nod? What
Speaker 1: does that mean? So and there's just things that you
Speaker 1: won't be able to teach them about that culture. And so, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just those things I think obviously you've already
Speaker 1: given them so much love and my very first step.
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and be like and make sure
Speaker 1: it comes from love, because it's clear that you love
Speaker 1: your children. It's oh, you know what I mean, you
Speaker 1: have any idea, you know, you're starting from an amazing place.
Speaker 1: By the way, even the idea to ask the question
Speaker 1: and not just say you know. I think it's just
Speaker 1: so important that you came on. I mean, not that
Speaker 1: we're specialists, but that you're asking. And I'm sure you're
Speaker 1: asking true specialists too, but even the fact that you're
Speaker 1: engaging in in wanting to do this, I think is
Speaker 1: a great step. And and you'll continue to find resources
Speaker 1: I'm sure in your community and I'm sure online that
Speaker 1: can that can help. Sorry, no, absolutely, I think the
Speaker 1: big word is the community word that seems to kind
Speaker 1: of come through over and over again. Um. And I
Speaker 1: definitely appreciate the perspectives because sometimes when you ask questions,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate your your your confidence building or your
Speaker 1: reassurance was saying that's act. But sometimes when you ask questions, UM,
Speaker 1: you want to make sure you don't want to be
Speaker 1: offensive when you ask a question. Does that make sense? Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, But also you know we have a warped perspective. Well,
Speaker 1: I should say I can't speak for all, I can
Speaker 1: speak for Donald and I we have a warped perspective
Speaker 1: because we've spent our lives in New York City and
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and I think that we often have to,
Speaker 1: you know, recalibrate. For I have no idea what South
Speaker 1: Atlanta is like. But you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I listened from the point of view of growing up
Speaker 1: in North Jersey, which is a lot like New York
Speaker 1: and in LA and Chicago where I went to school,
Speaker 1: so I have to always go I have no idea
Speaker 1: what your community is like. And so if you're if
Speaker 1: for example, you're in an all white community or predominantly
Speaker 1: white community, it would be super important for you, like
Speaker 1: to maybe find an African American mentor older teenager that
Speaker 1: could be in his or her life, or you know,
Speaker 1: something like that, or if it just happens naturally at church,
Speaker 1: that's great. But you know, it's it's all about you know, community,
Speaker 1: It really at the end of the day, it really is,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you know, when your
Speaker 1: child's older and goes to college and or goes out
Speaker 1: in life and everything like that when it's bait. When
Speaker 1: you have a very strong foundation, You guys know this.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows this. When you have a great, strong, strong foundation,
Speaker 1: it's easy to thrive regardless of your It's I should say,
Speaker 1: it's easier to strive regardless of your regardless of your background,
Speaker 1: because you have people that are there to support support
Speaker 1: a lot with with real support, a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of hurdles and obstacles can be tackled and or removed.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I was trying to
Speaker 1: shift it back to a comedic tone. Um, you guys,
Speaker 1: are you guys? You a dick man? Straight up? You
Speaker 1: dick tongue you dick yo tongue tongue Yo, dick tongue,
Speaker 1: dick tongue. Yeo. On that note, um from Live from
Speaker 1: twenty yars and dick tongue. Listen, it would make a
Speaker 1: great couple, great couple, couple, A lot of nice kisses
Speaker 1: in that ear. Listen. We love you guys, You're incredible people,
Speaker 1: and thank you for being You just restored, you single
Speaker 1: handedly restored my faith in humanity. Oh well, what Tina,
Speaker 1: don't cancel it out because no, no, no, I didn't
Speaker 1: want to interrupt you earlier, but you had said something
Speaker 1: about Stephen, and I'm going to tell you right now
Speaker 1: that is these little people coming into our lives has
Speaker 1: been truly the most humbling experience of my personal life.
Speaker 1: And I cannot be more grateful for absolutely, for what
Speaker 1: what these guys have taught us, um and I am
Speaker 1: so damn grateful to be a part of their journey.
Speaker 1: So well, I'm still allowed to say that you're a
Speaker 1: pretty incredible person if you don't really, Okay, But my
Speaker 1: point to you is, I really feel like from our perspective,
Speaker 1: that's that's how we feel. I mean, it's I think
Speaker 1: that's beautiful. But I also think from my perspective, I
Speaker 1: love you. No. Two adults who raised an adult child
Speaker 1: who then had an epiphany that they were going to
Speaker 1: take on adopting young children. One of them has is
Speaker 1: on the spectrum, and not only are you doing it
Speaker 1: well obviously with so much love, but you're like, how
Speaker 1: can we do it better? I just think you're incredible people.
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes you go on the interwebs and
Speaker 1: you're like, and you look at what's happening on earth,
Speaker 1: and you think humanity is fucked, and then you meet
Speaker 1: Trina and Stephen and you feel good again, like, yoh,
Speaker 1: did y'all see what happened in London and Italy and
Speaker 1: how London lost? But how to two black players miss
Speaker 1: the goals and how they're getting death threats and stuff?
Speaker 1: Right now, it's yeah, let's not think about that and
Speaker 1: think about how beautiful Stephen and Trina are. Okay, my bed,

Speaker 1: easy to be kind, right, Joel, Yes, it's always easier
