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

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