Speaker 1: White and black Phasons. How are you, guys? How's your
Speaker 1: week going? By the way down, Well, did you know
Speaker 1: that Dan's nickname is Daniel? I thought that that was
Speaker 1: just kind of a Joel joke, but it really is
Speaker 1: his his nickname in life Daniel. It's a nickname or
Speaker 1: is that your name? But his name is Daniel. His
Speaker 1: name is Daniel. But he's been because a very long
Speaker 1: story he doesn't want to go into. But Daniel, happy
Speaker 1: to do it another time, Happy to do it another time. No,
Speaker 1: but I'm starting to wonder if we should call on
Speaker 1: the podcast. I should be calling him Daniel because I
Speaker 1: like to use nicknames. It makes me feel like I'm
Speaker 1: close to someone. Well, I would be honored if you
Speaker 1: would call me Daniel, or I might just do there
Speaker 1: is Daniel. I'm gonna see, I'm gonna see. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see if it flows, because you can't force a nickname
Speaker 1: like like you know, I hate it when when you
Speaker 1: say someone's nickname and you feel like, oh, I just
Speaker 1: it is not flowing out of me right now. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, When I was a kid, my
Speaker 1: mom was like the the not the leader of a camp,
Speaker 1: but like the creative director at a camp. It was
Speaker 1: a camp that had a boy season in a girl season.
Speaker 1: The name of it was Camp at Water. It was
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, right and I remember she went around a
Speaker 1: table with all the counselors because she had to be
Speaker 1: there early to meet all the counselors and stuff. She
Speaker 1: went around a picnic table we were outside. I was
Speaker 1: there because I'm there with my mom, and she's like,
Speaker 1: all right, everybody, just give me your first uh, your
Speaker 1: name and then you know a nickname that people give you.
Speaker 1: So people was going around, I'm terrific Tasha, or I'm
Speaker 1: you know, stunning Stephen. And they got to this dude
Speaker 1: named Darryl. He was like, they called me delicious Darrel,
Speaker 1: and I remember I remember being like wow and I
Speaker 1: and then later on Cedric the Entertainer has a joke
Speaker 1: where you know what grown man wants to call another
Speaker 1: grown man? Delicious? Was your nickname? My father called me
Speaker 1: the Great Destroyer. It'd be like, oh, here comes the
Speaker 1: great Destroyer. I was had my head was constantly in
Speaker 1: the clouds, and I had a tendency to you just
Speaker 1: break things and running into them arms like gesticulating wildly,
Speaker 1: knocking over cups and stuff. So wow, that stuck. Yer.
Speaker 1: My nickname was BIZ because it's my initials backwards braf
Speaker 1: Israel Zach. So uh. When I was a kid. So
Speaker 1: I grew up with Terrence Howard, right, he and I.
Speaker 1: I've known him since he was like twelve years old.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, my first I took him
Speaker 1: on his first audition. He crashed and crashed an auditioned
Speaker 1: with me, and it wound up being like the Jackson's
Speaker 1: U Special, and he became you know, he's Terrence Howard. Now, Anyway,
Speaker 1: when we would hang out when we were kids, there
Speaker 1: was this dude in the neighborhood who didn't necessarily like
Speaker 1: the fact that two acting, you know, teenagers or you know,
Speaker 1: young men were walking around hanging out together. So he
Speaker 1: was called show Biz and I was Hollywood. So when
Speaker 1: we come outside and back here comes show Biz in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start calling you Hollywood. No, no, no, how
Speaker 1: are you? How's your life? Donald Phazon? It's good. You know.

Speaker 1: how They're gonna live there, you know. And I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't stop anyone from I can. I can beg
Speaker 1: and I can plead, and I can you know, you know,
Speaker 1: say to That's all we can do. Please don't go out.
Speaker 1: Please think of your fellow man. There are the people
Speaker 1: that can't. You know, that won't be as lucky as
Speaker 1: you are. If you are one of the lucky ones
Speaker 1: that you know, this virus does nothing too. But um,
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. What are you gonna do. You're
Speaker 1: gonna arrest people? What are you gonna do? Jump on
Speaker 1: people in stop? I haven't. We haven't, we haven't. We
Speaker 1: haven't spoken too much on about our friend Nick on
Speaker 1: this podcast. You know, Donald and I have a very
Speaker 1: good friend, Nick Cordero. You may have heard about him
Speaker 1: in the news. He's about as sick as someone can be,
Speaker 1: and he was had no pre existing conditions, and he
Speaker 1: is forty years old, and he was. He was staying
Speaker 1: in my guesthouse. And he's one of my best friends
Speaker 1: in the world. He's an amazing actor, broadcast play together.
Speaker 1: We did a play together. He's a wonderful actor, a
Speaker 1: wonderful singer. Um, he's just incredible. You know. People always
Speaker 1: say this about people, but like, honestly, he's the nicest
Speaker 1: person I've ever met. Like, like, there is not a malicious, weird, competitive,
Speaker 1: angry cell in his body. He's an angel of a
Speaker 1: human being. And uh, he was, he was here, he
Speaker 1: was living in my guest I'll say. He and his
Speaker 1: wife bought a new house in LA. They were making
Speaker 1: the move from New York to LA. They have a
Speaker 1: they have a one year old baby. They were just
Speaker 1: living the American dream. They literally bought their first house.
Speaker 1: And he went back to New York to pack up
Speaker 1: his apartment and got COVID so bad that he's been
Speaker 1: staying alive with the help of machines. I don't and
Speaker 1: no one knows if he's gonna make it. He's lost
Speaker 1: his leg due to complications clotting and such. His lungs,
Speaker 1: his lungs are just Swiss cheese, they said, the COVID
Speaker 1: just just fucking destroys the lungs. So, UM, I not
Speaker 1: to be a Debbie downer on this show, but I
Speaker 1: haven't been talking about it because we're here to hopefully
Speaker 1: entertain you and take your mind off things. But if
Speaker 1: you're headed out and you don't have a mask on, uh,
Speaker 1: I want you to to think about my friend Nick.
Speaker 1: Maybe just think about it, because I think people takes
Speaker 1: comfort and going well, worst case scenario, I'm forty, what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen this guy had had he was healthy, his
Speaker 1: wife's a trainer. I mean, he's a healthy guy and uh,
Speaker 1: and he could he could die. So I don't mean
Speaker 1: to to to preach. And I wasn't even gonna bring
Speaker 1: this up, but I just felt weird all of a
Speaker 1: sudden not mentioning it. And uh and um, you know,
Speaker 1: so while you think, while you think it's uh, while
Speaker 1: everybody's out there, just you know, uh about to uh
Speaker 1: all the people that are sick of this virus, just
Speaker 1: know that this virus isn't sick of us exactly, and
Speaker 1: and just know that, uh, you know, don't have in
Speaker 1: your head. I think it's a shame for people to
Speaker 1: have in their head. Uh, worst case scenario. I get it.
Speaker 1: They say it's like a really bad flu. That's that's bullshit.
Speaker 1: That's some people. But there's also some people like Nick
Speaker 1: who are totally healthy and have a one year old
Speaker 1: baby and I just started walking, who just started walking
Speaker 1: today actually, and uh and his and he could die.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know. It's it's it could go
Speaker 1: either way. So I'm sorry to open the show with that.
Speaker 1: Donald helped me change the tone of things by being
Speaker 1: jovial and leading us in some six seven amoris about
Speaker 1: show we made about a bunch of docs and nurses.
Speaker 1: Said he's a stories should so yadoo around here, A
Speaker 1: yadoo around here. Show m. Let's bring in Brendan everybody,
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Brendan Fraser. Donald, don't say it like
Speaker 1: the oh I'm shu to see you too, oh man.
Speaker 1: Donald and I both admitted to each other that we
Speaker 1: have butterflies because we don't have fancy movie stars on
Speaker 1: our on our pott. No offense to our other guests.
Speaker 1: They're great offense. They all did they they've all been great,
Speaker 1: but they're not like Brendan Fraser. We're just kicked it up.
Speaker 1: A notch like like like like Emerald used to say, Bam,
Speaker 1: kick it up a notch. Flattery will get you everywhere, Brandon,
Speaker 1: we um. We we're giddy that you're here. Not only
Speaker 1: are we not only have we always both been fans
Speaker 1: of your work, but when you came on the show,
Speaker 1: it was really cool because you were by far the
Speaker 1: fanciest guest star we had on the show. And then
Speaker 1: you became like people's favorite storyline. And I don't even
Speaker 1: if you know this, but the episode where you where
Speaker 1: You died is a lot of people's favorite episode of
Speaker 1: the whole series. And so we're just we're thrilled you're
Speaker 1: here and we want to talk about all of it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You helped launch our you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think I don't know if it definitely wasn't on purpose,
Speaker 1: but our buddy Josh Raiden, who gets spoken of every
Speaker 1: freaking episode. His song was played at your character's funeral
Speaker 1: and because of that his career. I mean, he travels
Speaker 1: all over the world now and performs to packed houses.
Speaker 1: But this was the first song that he ever wrote,
Speaker 1: and somehow Bill used it in in this episode that
Speaker 1: somehow is me. I said, you need to stud of
Speaker 1: the song try my buddy's first song. He had never
Speaker 1: written a song, and we played it during Your Funeral
Speaker 1: episode and it launched his career. But anyway, we let
Speaker 1: Brendan talk. That's really nice. I mean, look, the music's
Speaker 1: important so much in the across the arc of the
Speaker 1: whole whole show. I mean, the choices were always spot on.
Speaker 1: They made you feel the internal conflict even though there
Speaker 1: was you know, the comedy that that um it was
Speaker 1: juxtaposed against. It's a very serious environment. I mean, how
Speaker 1: do you make a hospital funny? Yeah, you guys did it,
Speaker 1: um for many, many episodes, and I, um, I'm so
Speaker 1: pleased when I've been going to comic conventions in the
Speaker 1: last two years or so, that's a similar thing that
Speaker 1: everyone says, they're very um, they're moved by that episode. Now, look,
Speaker 1: thanks for nice things you're saying to me, But you're
Speaker 1: only as good as you're the company you keep and
Speaker 1: how well it's written, and some camera things too. But
Speaker 1: I just I should say belated thank you, like what
Speaker 1: seventeen years later now for including me in that cast
Speaker 1: and pulling me into the fold. We get Sorry, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean that's okay, I was thinking about that
Speaker 1: today too. I let's take a walk back here. I
Speaker 1: had just finished a run of my West End debut
Speaker 1: in London and Catnohats in Roof, and I came back
Speaker 1: to LA and my former wife Afton and Krista Miller
Speaker 1: are longtime friends, and I had not met Bill before,
Speaker 1: but I did get on the phone with him, and
Speaker 1: I recall saying something like he's asking, how you doing.
Speaker 1: We want you to come and do this. I let
Speaker 1: me see the script. I mentioned something about feeling a
Speaker 1: little tired or jet lagged or I needed to get
Speaker 1: back to the gym, and he said, all right, well
Speaker 1: I'll send it over. So he sent the script over,
Speaker 1: and he sent a bunch of gym shorts. And then
Speaker 1: I mean like nice ones too, So I thought, all right,
Speaker 1: I mean when one man sends another man his shorts,
Speaker 1: there is no other love. You know, when you're trying
Speaker 1: to get an actor to do something, there's always the
Speaker 1: go to thing, which is write a nice letter. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Bill's Q on this
Speaker 1: and get more creative. He sent you a clothing. Well,
Speaker 1: he just showed he was listening. Listen man, I'm tired.
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to the gym. Let me help
Speaker 1: you out. You're some shorts and the script that's true.
Speaker 1: Are you are you in town right now or are
Speaker 1: you out of town? I know you're doing uh that
Speaker 1: the show, the superhero show, Doom Patrol, Doom Patrol, Superhero Guy.
Speaker 1: I was just watching the trailer for season two where
Speaker 1: you guys are miniaturized and everything like that. I'm very
Speaker 1: excited for it. I was really excited when the show started.
Speaker 1: I was actually I watched Titans and then when they
Speaker 1: introduced Doom Patrol through Titans and Beast Boy, I was
Speaker 1: really excited to watch the show. And the cast is phenomenal.
Speaker 1: You got such a really dope cast, you Matt Bonner,
Speaker 1: Uh what's his name? Uh? Timothy Dalton. Like it's a
Speaker 1: sick cast, dude, Dian Guerrero, Ippa Bulby Season two, Let's
Speaker 1: get out of the way, June twenty fifth on HBO.
Speaker 1: Man the New One, check it out. So hey, Donald,
Speaker 1: did you actually watch the read the comics before? I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the first time my live action thing has
Speaker 1: been No. No, I had not read the comic before,
Speaker 1: but I knew it existed, but I had I had never.
Speaker 1: I had never just because it's really an obscure property.
Speaker 1: It was really kind of it was orphaned. It was
Speaker 1: done like seven different incarnations on Real Prince. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they didn't they killed everybody off at one point they
Speaker 1: brought them all back um and then Grant Morrison did
Speaker 1: the run that this that inspired the show. So it
Speaker 1: the words surreal gets bandied about very much in the
Speaker 1: way we speak, but it actually borrowed from Dadaism, and
Speaker 1: you know that what Dolly was up about surrealism in
Speaker 1: the way that the show's inspired. A lot of the
Speaker 1: set pieces are direct key art from um the graphic
Speaker 1: novels Wow and It and It, and it did keep
Speaker 1: the sense of I don't know if I want to
Speaker 1: call it it's people like to say dark where it's serious.
Speaker 1: I think it just didn't. It doesn't. It doesn't shy
Speaker 1: away from going to the places that motivate brooding superhero
Speaker 1: character is explaining really why, and often in white knuckle detail.
Speaker 1: So you guys, you guys do you guys are very
Speaker 1: It's a very I would say it is a dark show,
Speaker 1: like each and every one of your origins comes from
Speaker 1: a dark place. You know what I mean, just from
Speaker 1: your character alone. Your character was a race car driver
Speaker 1: who was who was like, you know, cheated on his
Speaker 1: wife and really didn't give a shit about anybody but
Speaker 1: his daughter, you know what I mean. And yeah, and
Speaker 1: he was I don't think he won all those races
Speaker 1: fair and square either to right. Just a bad, bad dude.
Speaker 1: And he dies and gets put into a robot, and
Speaker 1: he's led to believe that his daughter is I don't
Speaker 1: want to spoil the show. He's dead. There, I said it.
Speaker 1: He's and and so's he's struggling to reconcile how to
Speaker 1: be a better man, except now he's trapped in this
Speaker 1: steampunk robot body. And strangely, he's a better human being
Speaker 1: as a robot than he was as a man. Right, right, right,
Speaker 1: and and and he's there for his teammates. He's like
Speaker 1: in every episode, he's the one character who's there for
Speaker 1: his teammates. He's there for the girl with all the
Speaker 1: personalities he's there for that's Crazy Jane, as she's known,
Speaker 1: with her sixty four different personalities the year all but
Speaker 1: superpowers too. That's a superpower, that's dope. You could sixty
Speaker 1: four different powers. That's pretty dope anyway, Brendan, did you
Speaker 1: read um comic books when you were a kid? I
Speaker 1: had an anthology of Superman. I tried to get into
Speaker 1: Batman because all the cool kids did then. And I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you, they kind of think they
Speaker 1: were formidable, and they sort of scared me a little bit,
Speaker 1: like it was like listening to heavy metal music and
Speaker 1: you're not ready for it to me. And and so,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like them, for sure, but my speed
Speaker 1: was more like Dennis the Menace and Richie rich Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would read Archie, Little Archie, Yeah, little Archie. Look yeah,
Speaker 1: So I guess in short, no, not really. But then
Speaker 1: I mean when this came along, um, it's kind of
Speaker 1: a yeah, I would want to be at part of
Speaker 1: this because I'm not sure if if risks like this
Speaker 1: get taken that frequently. And I'm no aficionado you know,
Speaker 1: in a world of comics and that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: but I know that it's, um, it's a piece. And
Speaker 1: Donald just touched on this. That's like everyone comes from
Speaker 1: some horrible accident that occurred to them prior to them
Speaker 1: being introduced to its audience, our audience, and that's the
Speaker 1: reason why that they have to build better lives through it.
Speaker 1: Although they bicker with one another and they hate one another,
Speaker 1: but they can't be a part and they don't function
Speaker 1: without one another. Kind of like Scrubs, I should say, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the very theme song is I can't do this all
Speaker 1: on my own, and yeah, it's about the camaraderie. You know,
Speaker 1: you had the most epic career. I was just scrolling
Speaker 1: your IMDb page just before you came on because I
Speaker 1: wanted to just kind of glance at everything. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have the kind of career that actor's dream of having.
Speaker 1: You from from really cool artistic indies to the biggest
Speaker 1: tent pole movies ever. I mean, do you when you
Speaker 1: look back on things, is there is there a favorite
Speaker 1: or is it all kind of like I mean for us,
Speaker 1: I mean Donald and I look back at Scrubs. We
Speaker 1: haven't had the fraction of the career you've had, but
Speaker 1: I mean we look back and go, Okay, We've had
Speaker 1: lots of fun experiences, but Scrubs was like one of
Speaker 1: the best experiences of our lives. Is there a project
Speaker 1: that you look back on that and go, you know,
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of cool things, but this one
Speaker 1: in particular was like, holy shit, that changed my life
Speaker 1: or this or if I had to like name something
Speaker 1: that really changed my life for better or worse, I'd
Speaker 1: have to say it was around two thousand or sorry,
Speaker 1: in like nineteen ninety nine, it was the Mummy pictures.
Speaker 1: Everybody saw those, I mean, and still they have a residence.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just, you know, my dumb luck that
Speaker 1: the the lore of an Egyptian mummy wrapped up for
Speaker 1: several thousand years looking for his girlfriend is an enduring
Speaker 1: theme that we just love to do in over and
Speaker 1: over and over again. So you know, I had that that,
Speaker 1: I had that going for it. But um, if I
Speaker 1: think of a filmler that that made me feel like
Speaker 1: it changed. I worked with I worked with Michael Caine
Speaker 1: in Vietnam on a picture called The Quiet American and
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good adaptation. Um. Christopher Hampton wrote it,
Speaker 1: um of the of the novel UM. And we shot
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, and at that time no Western film had
Speaker 1: been made in Vietnam. I mean, if you saw a
Speaker 1: movie that was a war picture or something, it was
Speaker 1: in Malaysia or Thailand or doubled somewhere else in specific
Speaker 1: for the Jungles, but we had the good fortune and
Speaker 1: to actually be there, and it was exciting for the
Speaker 1: reasons that it really pushed back at as the novel
Speaker 1: did that American foreign policy was, you know, blessed in
Speaker 1: the world. And the reality is, no, it's not. The
Speaker 1: The picture itself, I can say confidently, was put on
Speaker 1: the chopping block by Miramax when it came out September
Speaker 1: eleventh had transpired it and in the I don't even
Speaker 1: want to say his name, but the boss of that
Speaker 1: company said, I don't want to do anything wrong for
Speaker 1: the American people, and we never really knew what that meant.
Speaker 1: And Michael took the picture to Toronto International Film Festival
Speaker 1: and gave it in an audience there, and that's when
Speaker 1: it UM really started to take off. In the Washington
Speaker 1: Post wrote a piece called let the Quiet Americans Speak
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, in other words, you don't need
Speaker 1: to sugarcoat this. You don't have to treat us like children.
Speaker 1: We should know. I mean, these are things that that
Speaker 1: we do have to discuss. That UM has not changed
Speaker 1: then and it had it can't change now. I mean,
Speaker 1: so to be a part of that. UM, I guess
Speaker 1: I felt I was in UM in good company, and UM,
Speaker 1: I felt like I had a chance to be a
Speaker 1: part of a picture that would, you know, in its
Speaker 1: own way change the world. Now, movies do or they don't,
Speaker 1: and that's the hope in the aspiration. But it did
Speaker 1: fulfill something for me that UM was was meaningful. And
Speaker 1: if it didn't find its audience at that time, UM,
Speaker 1: there's always the notion of feeling that it will do
Speaker 1: in the future. And well, I think, up, you can
Speaker 1: have a lot of people watching it now because it's
Speaker 1: it's one of yours. I haven't seen and I'm definitely
Speaker 1: curious and uh, and we have a handful of people
Speaker 1: listening to this. I'm sure we'll check it out. I
Speaker 1: loved one of your early film school ties was Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was about to say that, oh man, that movie
Speaker 1: hit me at the right age, man and I especially
Speaker 1: being a young Jewish man that you of course, and
Speaker 1: we didn't and I didn't feel like I looked like Brendan,
Speaker 1: you know. I was like, there, I am, look at
Speaker 1: our handsome mind being represented. But but but I mean
Speaker 1: your performance in that movie as as a young actor,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think everyone in the world was like,
Speaker 1: you know, everyone who loves movies was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: look at this new guy. I thought, you really really
Speaker 1: were great in that movie. Well thanks. It was sort
Speaker 1: of the diner casting. Yeah, it's day in a way,
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, the list is ridiculous, So many people,
Speaker 1: Anthony Raps ridiculous. We um at that time had no
Speaker 1: idea what we were doing. We had an abundance of enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: Probably the most important thing to us is getting the
Speaker 1: producer to provide us breakfast in the morning before we
Speaker 1: had to play football all day, although they did not,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean and and still at that time,
Speaker 1: I look at it and I think, I don't I
Speaker 1: really don't know that much about that guy anymore. You know,
Speaker 1: I just see, um, I see I see a cast
Speaker 1: very hopeful. But but at the same time we all
Speaker 1: have this sort of tenuous is this kind of feelings
Speaker 1: as you do when you're first starting out in this industry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: um so. But for that rather than you know, turning inward,
Speaker 1: we just swung for the fences and hope for the best,
Speaker 1: for for whatever the film would would result. And well
Speaker 1: it was. It was really great. Donald and I both
Speaker 1: remember that film. Finally, we've talked about it before. And Donald,
Speaker 1: you also began your career in a football film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. It was called Remember the Titans. Have you
Speaker 1: watched it yet? No, it's all my to do. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watcheman. These are that's fine, and and that's fine,
Speaker 1: but these are the issues that I'm having. Now. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what happens. Don't fight in front of
Speaker 1: our guests, don't fight in front of company. Let me finish,
Speaker 1: Let me finish. Is this because is this because I
Speaker 1: didn't read Garden State when you Yes, that's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons. I was in the shower and I was thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, I've done some projects and Zach's never seen
Speaker 1: any of them. No, I've seen a lot of them.
Speaker 1: You've seen, dude. You was the movie You win where
Speaker 1: where the famous rapper was a postman was a It's
Speaker 1: called Next Day. First of all, it was Next Day Air. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I second all. The only reason why you saw Next
Speaker 1: Day airs because I invited you over for screening at
Speaker 1: my house with all the producers, and oh boy, who
Speaker 1: is the rapper? I forgot? He was really good? Most
Speaker 1: deaf man the most Def is a good actor. He
Speaker 1: did a good job in that movie. I worked with
Speaker 1: most Demost. I worked with most Deff once in a
Speaker 1: really obscure movie that shot and saw Paula Brazil. It
Speaker 1: was called Journey to the End of the Night, and
Speaker 1: he played a Nigerian dishwasher who gets roped into running
Speaker 1: a huge suitcase of cocaine in this sort of impossible
Speaker 1: scenario that he just can't win from. He was so good,
Speaker 1: I mean he was what was the name of the movie,
Speaker 1: Journey to the End of the Night? Journey scene Bay
Speaker 1: in Journey to the End of the Night. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch that too, So sorry, but Titans got moved down
Speaker 1: another rung because I had two more films. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what happened in my house? You have dinner,
Speaker 1: you get what are we gonna watch tonight? Right? I
Speaker 1: don't know if this happened dayson, and remember the Titans. Now,
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I just want to know if

Speaker 1: the answer to that one. I mean, I had such
Speaker 1: a great time with the to be continued to you know,
Speaker 1: to hander right that came on in the first season
Speaker 1: that I was in, and then when he called up
Speaker 1: to do it again, I was like, absolutely all right,
Speaker 1: you know you. It was because I had such a
Speaker 1: great time work you guys right on you and you
Speaker 1: and you brought something to the table that a lot
Speaker 1: of that went on for a really long time. Also,
Speaker 1: your camera when you brought your camera to look at this. Look,
Speaker 1: Zach has a camera just like that. Now I'm holding
Speaker 1: up I'm holding up my my Polaroid one ten A
Speaker 1: that I would not have purchased without Brendan. So I
Speaker 1: want you know, Brendon and I are both Brendan, Christa
Speaker 1: Miller and I are all camera geeks. We all collect them.
Speaker 1: But I was never into old polaroid camera until I
Speaker 1: met Brendan and all. And if you guys are watching
Speaker 1: the episode and you see him shooting all these polaroids,
Speaker 1: they that was inspired by Brendan. Those are all his
Speaker 1: pictures you're you're looking at. And I got so into
Speaker 1: to polaroid photography because of you, Brendon, and I've free,
Speaker 1: not like free for the twenty years since I've seen you.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many different polaroid cameras I've
Speaker 1: bought and collected. And Donald was saying on another podcast,
Speaker 1: he goes, why do I have so many like professional
Speaker 1: quality polaroids of myself? And I'm like, that's because of Brendan.
Speaker 1: Because Chris and I both got so into it. We've
Speaker 1: taken so many pictures of them, Yeah, sitting in a
Speaker 1: closet or on the shelf right now. Because the film
Speaker 1: is so hard to find, and you know you can
Speaker 1: get it online, um um if you buy. I actually,
Speaker 1: knowing that you were coming on, I haven't. I haven't
Speaker 1: used it in a while, but knowing you were come on,
Speaker 1: I was like looking online where I can find Fuji
Speaker 1: still makes um the film extra good pack film impossible
Speaker 1: projects another one, you know, yes, but for those of
Speaker 1: men want to into this hobby food Fujif P. One
Speaker 1: hundred is the go to, right, Brennan, that's like the
Speaker 1: last one. Let me just geek out. I'll put my
Speaker 1: glasses one one hundred. I just gave him a shout out.
Speaker 1: There should be a sponsor, um so Brendan. When you
Speaker 1: picked me up at one thirty three in this kid's room, now,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you even could could know this story,
Speaker 1: but the fans I've watched eight seasons, no, when you
Speaker 1: picked me up and spun me, the first thing I
Speaker 1: say that made me laugh was I go faster, because
Speaker 1: the whole the whole gag is the JD is such
Speaker 1: a nerd that at first he's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: and then then he's like as a kid and I
Speaker 1: and then you're spinning me. You're spinning me. And on
Speaker 1: one last take, I thought, oh, the extra dorky if
Speaker 1: JD pretended he was soaring like an eagle, And then
Speaker 1: I just went eagle, which became bizarrely a huge runner
Speaker 1: throughout the whole season. On a series of the show,
Speaker 1: Don would pick me up and I'd yell eagle, and
Speaker 1: it became a running thing. It became his what you're
Speaker 1: talking about Willis. It became my what you're talking about?
Speaker 1: It became my catchphrase. You you lifted me into my
Speaker 1: It's like in dirty dancing doing the lift. You lifted
Speaker 1: me into my catchphrase. Thank you, thanks very very much. Everywhere.
Speaker 1: I particularly liked your shower shorts. If I remember, yes correctly,
Speaker 1: the man for the man who has nothing to hide
Speaker 1: but still wants to still want and it had did
Speaker 1: have a wallet and then you hold it out, you
Speaker 1: let it go and there's this sort of like sound
Speaker 1: off camera and you just winced a bit. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But I mean everywhere I go in my life, and
Speaker 1: I've been traveled all around the world, Um, I will
Speaker 1: have people yell eagle at me as I walk down
Speaker 1: the street. It's forever, It's forever. Yeah, all because of
Speaker 1: this moment and at one minute thirty eight and then
Speaker 1: Christy goes for a spin. Yeah, Christa liked that. I
Speaker 1: haven't feel like Krista wasn't too fond of the spot.
Speaker 1: I bet she liked it because it was Brennan. If
Speaker 1: it was anybody else, she would have been like, there's
Speaker 1: no way, I can't imagine a Bill writing an episode.
Speaker 1: If Bill put any other character picks up Christa and
Speaker 1: spins her. She would have been like, no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no no.
Speaker 1: Tangle in my giblets. I laughed out loud at that.
Speaker 1: I don't like too much freedom now there. It makes
Speaker 1: me tingle in my giblets. I think I may have
Speaker 1: made that one up because I don't think Bill would
Speaker 1: have written giblets. But um, Brennan, you found a way
Speaker 1: with this character to bring out something. You know, Johnny
Speaker 1: C had yet to really warm up to anybody. He's
Speaker 1: his character, Doctor Cox is playing. He's such a tough
Speaker 1: alpha guy. And then with your character, we see the
Speaker 1: friendship that that that JD and Turke have mirrored a bit.
Speaker 1: We um, oh, there is a guy out there who's
Speaker 1: silly and who's goofy and is and is out there
Speaker 1: who's kind of like um his JD. If you, if
Speaker 1: you will, do you know what I mean? Like you
Speaker 1: you you brought out the silly side of a guy
Speaker 1: the audience is only known as someone who's so serious
Speaker 1: and agro right he was and just just like Johnny C.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, although Johnny's a smidgen nicer, right, absolute Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you know Johnny before this? Had you guys worked together?
Speaker 1: We No, we had not met before. I had seen
Speaker 1: him in films that he'd made, and but I think
Speaker 1: I met him on the day tell you the truth.
Speaker 1: The day. Uh there was a nail in my hand, yeah,
Speaker 1: a board right, Yeah, remember that was the first episode
Speaker 1: before this one. Correctly, I think we met like maybe
Speaker 1: three minutes earlier than that. Wow. Wow, it's because he
Speaker 1: doesn't take much time in the makeup chair. I learned.
Speaker 1: He just kind of walks in, scrubs his head, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then makes like these sort of animal grunt noises. Yeah,
Speaker 1: puts product in it and does it again, and then
Speaker 1: like does like elaborate clicking and snapping or his fingers
Speaker 1: and then he takes off. He's good to go. I
Speaker 1: had to show up, like, you know, an hour early
Speaker 1: with Christa, so we could you know, get our Strand
Speaker 1: by strand done just perfect? Yeah? Do you? Donald went through?
Speaker 1: Donald went through Donald. Colin Farrell was on the show,
Speaker 1: and I think it was him, right, Donald, you didn't
Speaker 1: want any makeup and uh, you know, because he looks
Speaker 1: like Colin Farrell. And then Donald was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start doing that. I don't need makeup either.
Speaker 1: If it's good enough for Colin Farrell is good enough. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Donald Donald was like showing off like I don't
Speaker 1: even make up either, and then like, oh, we did
Speaker 1: one episode and the next week that I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the makeup. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to Uh speaking of makeup, is that you in
Speaker 1: in the in the costume all the time or do
Speaker 1: they have a stand in for you or do you
Speaker 1: have to do makeup every day like that? Which costume?
Speaker 1: Which I've had a lot of weird ones, and I've
Speaker 1: had some that were at all Oh for do Patrol.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's voiced by Riley shan I mean I'm
Speaker 1: voicing the character. Riley Shanahan wears the suit. Um. He
Speaker 1: is a wonderful comedic performer with fantastic timing. Um, and
Speaker 1: he's full on playing the character through a mask. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Um and uh he uh he does the heavy lifting there.
Speaker 1: I mean I show up in an episode or two
Speaker 1: wearing pieces of that because, like I said, it borrow,
Speaker 1: it breaks a lot of rules and makes its own
Speaker 1: the way the show unfolds. But otherwise, no, I'm it's like,
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta be clear with you.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a dream job somebody else wears
Speaker 1: the thing shows up for you in recent and so
Speaker 1: I don't even go inside the studio like we all thought.
Speaker 1: You're sitting in your closet right now, I've been doing
Speaker 1: a d R on a cell phone. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: weird day. It's weird days for a business. But on
Speaker 1: the other hand, like, don't tell anybody this is actually
Speaker 1: I think that's the case. I'm not wearing pants. I
Speaker 1: think that's the case with I think it's the case
Speaker 1: with Mandalorian too. Um, you know, because that's all stuntman, right, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I mean it not to talk about it, though,
Speaker 1: do they do The producers want you to be like, no,
Speaker 1: Brennan's in the suit. No, no way, I would never
Speaker 1: do that. That's not fair to Riley. And I mean,
Speaker 1: and I'm fifty one. Now, this this guy is like
Speaker 1: built like a tree, and that thing is that those
Speaker 1: robot suits and all that all that, like you know
Speaker 1: DC Comic and Marvel Comic, those outfitial supersuits. They're heavy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are superformers are really unsung heroes. I worked with
Speaker 1: many of them. I worked with them on On. I'll
Speaker 1: say that's idols. George of the Jungle. The guys in
Speaker 1: the Guerrilla Suits are amazing. They're there. I mean, they
Speaker 1: they really take Sidney and behavior seriously and uh, I
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a thing back comedy. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, no, they were. They were quite specific
Speaker 1: about what they needed and how they would move as
Speaker 1: a troop and yeah, yeah, I mean, can you tell
Speaker 1: Donald and I how to get in that kind of shape? Um,
Speaker 1: if we ever wanted to try, because you're pretty ripped
Speaker 1: in that movie. Yeah, go back in time and eat
Speaker 1: nothing but like broccoli and styrofoam, lift weights until you puke. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then go wash your mouth out and keep doing it.
Speaker 1: I was once in the gym and a gym and uh,
Speaker 1: and Arnold Schwartzeninger walked into the gym to sort of
Speaker 1: inspect it. I guess his friend owned it or something.
Speaker 1: And he he was still the governor, and he walked
Speaker 1: over to me. Um on the I was on one
Speaker 1: of the benches and uh, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: recognized me as an actor or if he was just
Speaker 1: sort of like talking to me as a citizen, like hello,
Speaker 1: what's your goals with your workout? And I was I
Speaker 1: was so starstruck, and I was like, uh oh um um, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I just kind of want to look like
Speaker 1: Brad Pitton fight Club. And he goes and he goes,
Speaker 1: you need to eat a lot of carrots. That's all carrots.
Speaker 1: So for like the next two months, I was just
Speaker 1: like fucking pounding carrots and it never get ripped. No,
Speaker 1: I mean it never happened and never was like I
Speaker 1: never Brad Pitt in Fight Club Orange. He definitely got orange,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. He eats a lot of carrots and
Speaker 1: then he just moved on to somebody else. You hit
Speaker 1: a lot of broccoli, you you eat a lot of
Speaker 1: comquats and you eat to squash you. He's just he's
Speaker 1: walking around to each version in the gymming for you,
Speaker 1: broccoli for you piece? How long would you train? How
Speaker 1: long we when? How long would you train for something
Speaker 1: like that? I mean the mummy too. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know you're in sick shape, Like did you did you?
Speaker 1: Would you go through big training period? Yeah? I think
Speaker 1: I recall it was I mean, all in it's like
Speaker 1: a year if you're gonna you know, and then you
Speaker 1: do maintenance and blah blah. But um, you know, I
Speaker 1: I haven't asked about this frequently over the years, and
Speaker 1: I really don't know the answer because everyone's body is
Speaker 1: so different and I almost feel a reticent to say, well,
Speaker 1: this is what I did, because then people want to
Speaker 1: emulate or do that and it might not be right
Speaker 1: for them. But I guess if i'd be honest, it's
Speaker 1: just just just just get it over with and lift weights,
Speaker 1: I guess if. But the thing is if there's wear
Speaker 1: and tear on your joints, your spine. I became really
Speaker 1: proficient with ice bags, like really talk about nerdy camera geek.
Speaker 1: I was like nerdy ice cube geek. And um, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot to keep it's a lot
Speaker 1: to keep up. It's a lot to ask of your body.
Speaker 1: And I I have to say with confidence that I
Speaker 1: felt a sense of relief when it wasn't something that
Speaker 1: was expected of me, that wasn't exactly what you know,
Speaker 1: I'm known for. Or I was happy to say that
Speaker 1: someone else's job right now, you know, like um and uh,
Speaker 1: and just you know, pound back the milkshakes. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and focus on. Paul Rudd said something very similar to me.
Speaker 1: He was like, you know, I felt great when I
Speaker 1: was doing it. But I'm gonna tell you something right now,
Speaker 1: I'd love to drink a milkshake right now, I'd like something,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, You're absolutely right. It's
Speaker 1: like when you're doing it, you feel great and there's
Speaker 1: a purpose. Somebody's paying you a lot of money to
Speaker 1: do this stuff, but really, you know, living is a
Speaker 1: lot of fun too, And you know, I gotta say
Speaker 1: something psychologically, if I'm honest, I can look at those
Speaker 1: images now and think I see a guy who is
Speaker 1: still and secure, who still felt like a certain part
Speaker 1: of your body didn't look the proportion that you were
Speaker 1: hoping for. Or I learned from that that our self
Speaker 1: image is just really um tied up with a single thing,
Speaker 1: and that's confidence. If you have that, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how often you go to a gym or don't go
Speaker 1: to a gym. I really learned that it's about the
Speaker 1: person who you are and the rest is just decoration. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish I you know, I wish I had
Speaker 1: that confidence when I go places like the beach and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, Like I feel great in my skin
Speaker 1: at home, I could prance around naked in front of
Speaker 1: my wife and stuff like that, and I'm confident that I,
Speaker 1: you know, I still feel I still feel and look
Speaker 1: sexy to her. When you go to the beach, though,
Speaker 1: and there's a and there's a you know, stigmatism on
Speaker 1: how everybody's supposed to look and you don't necessarily fit
Speaker 1: that type. It's like, wait a second, you know I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to take my shirt off and jump
Speaker 1: into the water, now, you know what I mean? I have,
Speaker 1: I have. I have real issues when it comes to that. Um.
Speaker 1: I remember working so hard to get in shape and
Speaker 1: look a certain way, you know, when, just like you said,
Speaker 1: when it was time for the big reveal, I felt
Speaker 1: like I didn't reach my goal, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Then I look back at it now and I'm like,
Speaker 1: holy shit, I looked right bad, Like holy look at that,
Speaker 1: But it never back. I remember we talked about this
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I just wish I could have been
Speaker 1: present when I you know what I mean, Like there
Speaker 1: were so many things on my mind when all the
Speaker 1: projects that I've made before I wish I could have
Speaker 1: just been it, just experienced every moment, and I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was too worried about this or too interested in
Speaker 1: something else to really focus on, you know. And now
Speaker 1: the age that we live in, everybody has a camera
Speaker 1: right in their pocket, and we're all privy to one
Speaker 1: another physiques, and it's you know, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's a macabre pastime that is available to everyone.
Speaker 1: And you know, depending on where you are in the world,
Speaker 1: what country, part of the country. Somewhere in the back
Speaker 1: of my mind, I always wonder, is there's somebody with
Speaker 1: a long lens, you know, they're a sniper. Where are you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you happened a lot in La? For sure? But
Speaker 1: gout of La? Is that one of the like tell
Speaker 1: us a little bit about relief? I mean for that
Speaker 1: reason alone that you know, because it's it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: a place, that's that's that's that's myopic in that sense.
Speaker 1: And you know, with distance you can get some perspective um,
Speaker 1: which was which was helpful to me. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: You know, my wife always says She'll say something to me, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just bigger than everybody, and I'm like
Speaker 1: in LA. I mean, you're bigger than everybody in LA.
Speaker 1: And you go any place else and people would be like,
Speaker 1: damn girl, either sandwich or something, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But I think it's good when actors get out of
Speaker 1: New York in LA. I mean, you have to have
Speaker 1: reached a certain level of stature in the business as
Speaker 1: you have where you can kind of be anywhere you want. Um.
Speaker 1: But um, I fantasize about that sometimes. I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, Donald, about about being able to be somewhere
Speaker 1: that's not h in the heart of the industry. I think, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd get more for your buck. First of all, you
Speaker 1: get more, you know what I mean. The two million
Speaker 1: dollars that you spend in Los Angeles gets you a
Speaker 1: room with the window. You do that shit in Montana
Speaker 1: and you got a ranch, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like that, it's a huge difference. I would I would
Speaker 1: you know, I can't picture you on a ranch. Would
Speaker 1: you like a ranch I could pick? I could pickure Listen,
Speaker 1: I could picture myself in Yeah, I know, but wait, Donald,
Speaker 1: this doesn't have to have animals on it. It just
Speaker 1: needs to know. I never asked you this I never
Speaker 1: asked you this. If you could live anywhere in the
Speaker 1: country that's not a New York or LA and you
Speaker 1: could have, you know, you could you know, money's no object.
Speaker 1: I don't mean like some stupid epic mansion. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you have all the money that you want
Speaker 1: to spend. What would you choose? Would you choose the
Speaker 1: Montana ranch or would you choose I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I can't picture. I never asked you what you're what
Speaker 1: that would be for you. I'm a city boy, so
Speaker 1: I'd have to live in I'd have to find something.
Speaker 1: I'd have to live in the city. But if I
Speaker 1: if I could live any place, there's two places that
Speaker 1: I would love to live. One Toronto. I love the
Speaker 1: I love the city. It's one of my favorite cities
Speaker 1: of all time. If I could live anywhere and have
Speaker 1: and if money was no object, which it always is,
Speaker 1: but if it wasn't an object, dude, I would live
Speaker 1: somewhere in Toronto that was freaking, you know, wonderful and
Speaker 1: great either there or I you know, I am a
Speaker 1: huge fan of London. You know this. It's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite cities. I do like that area. And you're
Speaker 1: very popular there. You're like, you're like, you know, Denzel
Speaker 1: Washington of the Kingdom. No, I disagree. There's people like
Speaker 1: John Boyega. There are a bunch of people from the
Speaker 1: United but they do love you, and the people that
Speaker 1: are listening in the United Kingdom can attest to loving
Speaker 1: Donald Faizon. All right, how about this. If y'all love
Speaker 1: me in the United Kingdom like you love Denzel or
Speaker 1: more than you love Denzel, hit me up on Twitter
Speaker 1: and Instagram and say that shit. Yeah, I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: it to Denzel and be like, in your face, Denzel,
Speaker 1: let your face, let this let this week. I got
Speaker 1: the UK on Locke. God, I got the UK on Locke.

Speaker 1: keep you longer than uh than we then we promised
Speaker 1: we would, but we just wanted to really tell you

Speaker 1: idea where he's at at the end. Well, you guys

Speaker 1: the way, I'm not just saying that. I really I

Speaker 1: just snort it like it's fucking cocaine. WHOA. We need
Speaker 1: to have a conversation about issue. No, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: imagine that when people that have a coke problem, I
Speaker 1: think a problem ice cream like you don't like you

Speaker 1: my ice cream. I see that, I like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I don't eat a lot of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Speaker 1: That is the honest to goodness. Is there another brand
Speaker 1: that you would have the audacity to choose because we're
Speaker 1: trying to get them to be our sponsors, so don't
Speaker 1: find them. There isn't another brand that I would have
Speaker 1: the our death that to choose. I'm just saying it
Speaker 1: hasn't been something that I have been getting a lot of. Oh,
Speaker 1: because you're trying to stay thin, but then you go
Speaker 1: home and make the shit yourself. I prefer to make
Speaker 1: my ice cream So if Ben and Jerry's wants to
Speaker 1: become a sponsor and teach them up how to make
Speaker 1: somebody's flavors. Yeah, so that's what Benjor is gonna do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come on and teach you how to make

Speaker 1: damp Brady Bunch dance. Yeah. Do you remember when the
Speaker 1: Brady Bunch mu did there like would perform It's like
Speaker 1: a band. Like in the later episodes, they became like
Speaker 1: a band and that was their move. Like when it's
Speaker 1: time to change, you've got to real range Shenna na
Speaker 1: nana nanana yo meanana. What was happening at the time?
Speaker 1: What was happening? Peter went through puberty? Remember, and he

Speaker 1: real range. And they were like, oh no, what are
Speaker 1: we gonna do. Peter's going through puberty. What the fuck happened?
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, the Brady Bunch were in
Speaker 1: a band, like out of nowhere. It was like season one,
Speaker 1: The Brady Bunch Day having a hard time coming together
Speaker 1: as a family. Season two, The Brady Bunch, They're going
Speaker 1: to school now things are great. Season three they're in
Speaker 1: a band like what. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: season three, I don't know either. I'm just guessing, but
Speaker 1: out of nowhere all but it had to be. Can
Speaker 1: you find out when how many seasons in the pretty
Speaker 1: much became it's the same shit, Donald, it's jumping the shark.
Speaker 1: It's like red haired Sam coming into different strokes. You
Speaker 1: gotta shake shit up. They went to fucking Hawaii and
Speaker 1: jumped the shark to remember the Hawaiian Well, of course
Speaker 1: you remember. I mean, we'd use it in scrubs. We
Speaker 1: gotta sell those tiki necklaces on our merch shop one day, yeah,
Speaker 1: one day when I heartshits are our merch shop going Okay?
Speaker 1: Someone said that, wait, can I fucking finish a sentence
Speaker 1: for the listen for listen for the love of yahweh
Speaker 1: sentence for? Someone told me um they had a good
Speaker 1: merch idea oh that they thought when I mistakenly said
Speaker 1: sports players instead of athletes, someone said, please pick a
Speaker 1: T shirt that says sports players on it. I like that.
Speaker 1: I'd wear the funk out of that sports players wish.
Speaker 1: What's your last thing? Let's talk about Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Ted's band. Man. That's okay, thank you, See man, this
Speaker 1: is why I should I should just say what I
Speaker 1: want to say, because now it looks like I'm jumping
Speaker 1: on your coattails. That's what I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Ted's band. Okay. Ted's band is is
Speaker 1: introduced in this episode. You get to see, um for
Speaker 1: the second time, what a ridiculously beautiful voice our Sammy
Speaker 1: Lloyd had, And it's so tragic to use the word had,
Speaker 1: but it is accurate to say had he Um, this
Speaker 1: was real. This was his friends, all his all those men,
Speaker 1: those three men are his buddies, and they all sang
Speaker 1: acapella with him. And so we gave them Bill gave
Speaker 1: them jobs in the hospital and and formed an acaella group.
Speaker 1: And as I read on scrubs wiki, Um, it was
Speaker 1: originally supposed to be the Superman theme, but they couldn't
Speaker 1: get the rights. Yes, so that's how Underdog came about.
Speaker 1: I remember that would have made more sense because there's
Speaker 1: a whole Superman motif, but they could, Sam, and we
Speaker 1: can sing it on here because we're not gonna I
Speaker 1: don't think we're get in trouble for it if we
Speaker 1: will cut it out. But it was like three bullets
Speaker 1: of speed left behind, two powerful trains turned around, one
Speaker 1: able to leap buildings, tall, inner run all in one
Speaker 1: single bound Superman Superman, where it is Superman, Superman, Superman
Speaker 1: calling Superman human of Steve. These lyrics on these are
Speaker 1: written by Sam and his band the band. Oh So
Speaker 1: the song I mean he made me think that this
Speaker 1: was the theme song had lyrics. John Williams wrote this.
Speaker 1: John right, right, right right. So it was just done right,
Speaker 1: and so they sang the whole song with words. I
Speaker 1: have it on my iPhone like it's something that stuck
Speaker 1: my These guys wrote those. Those guys wrote it. And
Speaker 1: as I recall on Paul, one of the members of
Speaker 1: the band, wrote a bunch of them the songs from
Speaker 1: the musical? Did he not write the guy Love? Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know. You look that up for me too.
Speaker 1: I think this is a this is a great Bill
Speaker 1: Lawrence question. Now, okay, hey, Bill, talk to us about
Speaker 1: Ted's band, Ted's band and Paul from the band whose
Speaker 1: name I can't quite remember right now, but we will
Speaker 1: say it in this episode. Um, didn't he write um
Speaker 1: some of the musical, including the song guy Love? Because
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a bit of trivia, that's that's true. Also,
Speaker 1: where did you come up with the idea? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's obvious, but oh I got it. Paul Perry, Sorry, um, sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: it's in Um it's a Philip McNiven or George George.
Speaker 1: Forgive me if I don't say your name right, misserless.
Speaker 1: And and Paul Perry. I believe it was Paul Perry,
Speaker 1: and uh, and Bill will tell Us, who wrote a
Speaker 1: bunch of the musical songs Bill tell Us, Now, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: it's cool talking to you. Look. Paul Perry, who as
Speaker 1: part of Ted's band, who were known as the Blanks
Speaker 1: in real life. This is how Sam Woyd came into
Speaker 1: my life. He was on Spin City back in the days,
Speaker 1: Chris Woyd's nephew. He played basketball with us, Donald you
Speaker 1: played ball with him. And he had this super talented
Speaker 1: acapella band that like wrote the lyrics to Superman, made
Speaker 1: him up and used to do it at parties and stuff,
Speaker 1: and they were just so darn talented, and Paul used
Speaker 1: to do all the arrangements for them, so we just
Speaker 1: started using them on the show. Is kind of a
Speaker 1: Greek chorus with commercials theme songs and TV theme songs.
Speaker 1: So fun, and you know, Paul ended up writing a
Speaker 1: bunch of the songs for Guy Love and a musical
Speaker 1: on his own as well. And more importantly too, the
Speaker 1: Blanks ended up touring as you know, the Worthless Peons,
Speaker 1: Ted's band after the show rapped, doing songs from the
Speaker 1: show and the theme song and their version of the
Speaker 1: theme song of the finale is one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: super talent on a group top to bottom and um
Speaker 1: Man just even talking about him makes me miss Sam.
Speaker 1: Thank you Bill. Finally where we're in the hospital where
Speaker 1: the three of us get the hospital overnight and Ted's
Speaker 1: band's performing and they do Charles in Charge. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a great moment to new boy in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: lives downstairs and it's understood he's there just to take
Speaker 1: good care of me like he's one of the family. Charles,
Speaker 1: Charles in Charge. Oh and I love that show. Didn't
Speaker 1: you love that show? I did? I did love that show.
Speaker 1: Nicole Legart, Nicole Leggert, Nicole Leggar, a moment of silence
Speaker 1: for puberty. All right, let's talk about Zeltzer Bob Lyndennon.
Speaker 1: This is his first appearance. He's pretty normal in this episode.
Speaker 1: Zeltzer doesn't really get that wacky yet. He doesn't really
Speaker 1: fly his his his history flag. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I noticed that. How about Rob Machio with I know Man,
Speaker 1: most impressive, he really killed that and um and then,
Speaker 1: by the way, another thing that came up. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of in addition to Eagle and Ted's band of
Speaker 1: premiering in this episode. This was a thing that we
Speaker 1: always choked about. Was um uh that that Rob is
Speaker 1: the best surgeon. Um that according to doctor Wynn right
Speaker 1: that he because he does um he's what does he say?
Speaker 1: He goes, um, Well, everybody else's everybody else is thinking
Speaker 1: about what they This dude just thinking, has nothing in
Speaker 1: his brain or something. Yeah, I don't forget. He's like,
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I know what it is. It's the
Speaker 1: tiny Yeah, Rob, I say this every episode, every episode
Speaker 1: that he's in. Man, he really does knock it, knock
Speaker 1: it out the park man. I'm it was funny. By
Speaker 1: the way, this is a we go into your head
Speaker 1: at fourteen twenty one. That was like out of character
Speaker 1: for the show. We go into your head and uh,
Speaker 1: we hear what your thoughts are, and that's how we
Speaker 1: we camera spins around to see. By the way, and
Speaker 1: you had jargon. But I imagine you just read that ship.
Speaker 1: I read that ship off the piece of paper. Mat.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I heard you say that, Medical Jarre.
Speaker 1: Does they donald read that ship? He didn't remember that, right,
Speaker 1: And if you know I read that shit, no, no tin.
Speaker 1: So when he's smacking the assid the nurse. Did you
Speaker 1: notice that the nurse got her ass a little perched
Speaker 1: up high enough so that the the gag works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course that's that's how to make the joke fun.
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's doing. She doesn't appear to
Speaker 1: be doing anything. But no, she's just sitting there doing nothing.
Speaker 1: That's Lynno, by the way, Yeah, that's our friend. That's
Speaker 1: our friend Lynn. She but she she she doesn't. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna scroll because I have the episode open. I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering if she at least is pretending to do something, because,
Speaker 1: as I recall, she just looked like she was bent over.
Speaker 1: Season three, episode sixteen of The Brady Bunch, the Kid
Speaker 1: the Kids that they covered Casey in the Sunshine Band.
Speaker 1: It looks like it was a ploy for Paramount Records.
Speaker 1: They were like, did it for three or four seasons?
Speaker 1: I told you it was season three? See I have
Speaker 1: my shit right and everything? Man, can you guess season three? Ho? He?
Speaker 1: How did you know your Brady Bunch lore? Though? Of
Speaker 1: course I guess that shit. Do you do the Brady
Speaker 1: Bunch Wiki? I should do the Brady Bunch Wiki? I should?
Speaker 1: You're you're so funny, You're like, you're you don't remember
Speaker 1: the fucking most obvious shit in our relationship, and then
Speaker 1: you'll be like the Brady Bunch kids started singing in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two. It was episode sixteen of season three.
Speaker 1: All right, um, I want to talk about the choreographed
Speaker 1: move Should we talk about that? Yeah? That was cool?
Speaker 1: Do you remember doing that? Whenever we all all of
Speaker 1: us are doing the exact same movements and it's a
Speaker 1: split screen and we're all thinking, and it's all the
Speaker 1: exact same choreography. And then I read on scrubs Wiki
Speaker 1: that for some reasons, Judy's was backwards in terms of
Speaker 1: right left, and so they flipped her. And that's why
Speaker 1: if you look Judy's name tag is on the wrong
Speaker 1: side because in post her choreography wasn't right, so they
Speaker 1: flipped her. I did not I did not know that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I thought this episode
Speaker 1: was going to have way more Brendan Frasier in it,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I thought it was like
Speaker 1: a whole episode about, you know, what happened to the character.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that other ship went on in the hospital.
Speaker 1: So when watching it, I was like, I don't remember
Speaker 1: any of this, Like I know that's why I felt weird,
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to talk to Brendan, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel bad, Like I want to talk about the episode,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to put fancy Brendan through. Like
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that Johnny sees wearing his actual
Speaker 1: Oakleys when we do the real world spoof. Right, that's
Speaker 1: such a hilarious, so funny. Right, did you see my hair? Dude,
Speaker 1: your hair's amazing. I took a picture of it to
Speaker 1: show my girlfriend. It's so funny. And and Johnny's wearing
Speaker 1: those comedic Oakleys, but those are really his Okleys. Johnny
Speaker 1: sees the kind of guy that really would rock those
Speaker 1: ok He probably still wears them those like wrap around
Speaker 1: like wrap around Oakleys. They're perfect for athletes who have
Speaker 1: to who are on the go. Like if you're jogging
Speaker 1: and you have the wrap around Oakleys, no sunlight gets
Speaker 1: in and they don't fall off your face. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I love Johnny, but I'm not wearing those Oakleys. Donald
Speaker 1: than either. Are you no matter what sport you're playing, dude,
Speaker 1: you are you? You? Let's be let's tell everybody what
Speaker 1: you are. You're more amazing, amazing. Well, dude, you know
Speaker 1: I love you and you know I think you're amazing,
Speaker 1: but you're also uh when it comes to sunglasses, you're
Speaker 1: very much Uh what's the one that the aviator? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like eater guys or ray bands or or yeah that's
Speaker 1: sort of vibe. Yeah, ray band aviators. But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: rock a colored glass wrap around Oakley. That's not my vibe.
Speaker 1: If you if you're playing tennis, why not. I just
Speaker 1: think they look I don't. I know. Johnny listens, Johnny,
Speaker 1: I love you, it's just not my style. Let me
Speaker 1: let me let let me just start off by said Johnny.
Speaker 1: Listen Ny, Johnny listens while he's weightlifting, and I know
Speaker 1: he's like like pump an iron right now. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be like, fuck you, Brav. I love my
Speaker 1: old glass probably got him on right now in the gym. No,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about how not only does the
Speaker 1: janitor pick a lock, would that isn't locked? Did you
Speaker 1: notice that? No? I didn't like, no one took the
Speaker 1: time to find lockers that would have even like a
Speaker 1: fake lock. It's like so clearly not locked and he
Speaker 1: takes a screwdriver and like pretends to pick a non
Speaker 1: locked locker. And did you think that it was weird
Speaker 1: that you were writing all of this stuff in a
Speaker 1: diary like out of nowhere, like just out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: I forgot all of a sudden, the show's dugie howser.
Speaker 1: And does that imply that all of JD's of voiceovers
Speaker 1: are going into a journal? I never even I mean,
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't play it that way for eight and
Speaker 1: a half years, right, So when I saw that, I
Speaker 1: was like, wait a second. So there's there's data. There's
Speaker 1: information of everyone who, like somebody could go back and
Speaker 1: in a time capsule or wherever you know, you pass
Speaker 1: up passed away. There's freaking stacks and stacks of diaries
Speaker 1: of everything that's ever happened to JD. I never really understood.
Speaker 1: And it seems that this is the implication, because it's
Speaker 1: a voiceover that goes right in the diary, that all
Speaker 1: the voice over your hearing is JD's journal. Now, I
Speaker 1: do remember that I had a journal, had a unicorn
Speaker 1: with a sword on its head, and he's there to
Speaker 1: protect my hopes and dreams. And I want to show
Speaker 1: that this. I want to the record to reflect this
Speaker 1: journal did not have a unicorn with a sword on
Speaker 1: its head, So no one is protecting my hopes and
Speaker 1: dreams right now on this journal. That's why the janitor
Speaker 1: is able to get in there. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was funny when he said theater camp, because you know
Speaker 1: that was me he really yeah, But that's a that's
Speaker 1: a that I mean, I know we went to Bill already,
Speaker 1: But that's another great question for Bill. Are these JD's memoirs?
Speaker 1: Are we living in present time when we watch this show?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Is this something that took
Speaker 1: place in the past. We'll ask him, go ahead and
Speaker 1: ask formerly Donald. We can do a two biller. Bill,
Speaker 1: is scrubs JD's memoirs? Is it like a bunch of
Speaker 1: stories that JD has compiled in a bunch of books?
Speaker 1: Or is this Are we living in the moment from
Speaker 1: moment to moment? When? Yeah, because we're seeing in this episode,
Speaker 1: Bill that JD's writing a journal and voiceover goes right
Speaker 1: in the journal. Was this a Doogie Houser moment? Bill?
Speaker 1: When do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do do do Do Do do do do do
Speaker 1: do do do? Hey? The voiceover originally was h conceived as, um,
Speaker 1: you know, j D keeping stuff in his journals, but uh,
Speaker 1: we ditched that and just kind of made it. People
Speaker 1: just go with it. We made it an omniscient voiceover,
Speaker 1: you know, because we are always caught in his head
Speaker 1: and his thoughts, and people just go with it. The
Speaker 1: same way on Modern Family, and no one ever seemed
Speaker 1: to ask who was interviewing that family and who we're
Speaker 1: just doing that documentary. You know. That's it. Okay, We're
Speaker 1: gonna go to commercial, everybody, and thank you so much

Speaker 1: watching the show in quarantine and you're not in You're
Speaker 1: in different locations, So tell us what's going on. And
Speaker 1: I see Corey as a piano right next to him. Corey, Corey,
Speaker 1: are you a piano player? Are you a piano? Are
Speaker 1: you going to play us a little something? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. But I'm a piano teacher mostly okay, but
Speaker 1: I've been I'm a composer and a piano teacher. So
Speaker 1: that's uh. Since I can't give lessons in my living
Speaker 1: room on my grand piano, I have to give him
Speaker 1: in my office on my electronic piano over zoom tricks.
Speaker 1: I truly wish you knew the theme song to our
Speaker 1: little Rewatch show. I love the theme song to your
Speaker 1: Rewatch show. I think you guys did a fantastic job.
Speaker 1: Thank you singing it. Thank you, thank You're really fantastic.
Speaker 1: I'm not so crazy about the count in. But you
Speaker 1: know I don't like the seven. Are you saying we're
Speaker 1: off tempo, Corey, No, I'm saying that you're covering up
Speaker 1: the first couple of words because there's a there's a
Speaker 1: there's a pickup. You know, there's a story. So you
Speaker 1: say five to six, seven, eight, there's a story. It's
Speaker 1: kind of covered. Yeah, but you know it's a it's
Speaker 1: a stick now, and so there's there's no way you
Speaker 1: can change it from here. No, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna change it when we finished this is when we
Speaker 1: finished this, I'm gonna change it just for you, just
Speaker 1: for this, just for this podcast. I never imagine we're
Speaker 1: gonna go one two, but one. No, No, you want
Speaker 1: to go five six seven. There's a story, right, I
Speaker 1: can go five six five six, You can do that,
Speaker 1: I said, I know, offense, Corey, but I think the
Speaker 1: fans will revolt because they really love Donald's five six
Speaker 1: seven eight. They do. They love everybody's. Yeah. So, like
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's probably ingrained and there's nothing to
Speaker 1: do about it. But it's it's just every time it habits,
Speaker 1: it just kind of bothers. It irks you. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Donald. I'm doing it for you. I'm doing
Speaker 1: it for you, Corey. Corey, tell us how you and
Speaker 1: Alex started watching the show, and was this your first
Speaker 1: time through? Alex, why don't you tell us since Corey's
Speaker 1: getting all the screen time? Yeah, oh no, it's it's okay.
Speaker 1: I mean the reason why I wanted us to come
Speaker 1: on is because Father's Day come is coming up, and
Speaker 1: I said, for dad for a gift, come on the show.
Speaker 1: But um, so I don't have to pay for anything.
Speaker 1: I see how you do it. I I'm the favorite
Speaker 1: daughter now here we go. No, so, I think I
Speaker 1: can't remember who started watching the show first, if it
Speaker 1: was my dad or myself. This is not our first
Speaker 1: time in quarantine. I would say I've seen every episode
Speaker 1: of the show multiple multiple times, and I think the
Speaker 1: same as for my dad. But we really bonded over
Speaker 1: our love of the show. I think we watched it
Speaker 1: separately and then came together and realized that we were
Speaker 1: both watching it, and um we like quiz each other
Speaker 1: on Little Scrubs, Trevi effects a lot, and it's just
Speaker 1: something that we've really bondled over. Is our love for
Speaker 1: the show. For you guys, we love that. We love
Speaker 1: families that watch together. And you know, also people finding it.
Speaker 1: What's been crazy about this new era of streaming. You know,
Speaker 1: the show used to be on Netflix, now it's on Hulu.
Speaker 1: Is that more generations keep finding it And I think
Speaker 1: that's really that's really cool. It kind of keeps on going. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: um to. I don't know if I watched it when
Speaker 1: it first came on. What year was the first season?
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Thousand and one, nine, two one?
Speaker 1: I was gonna say nineteen ninety nine. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but but I do own the complete collection of DVDs,
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that you guys got a little bit
Speaker 1: of money for me purchasing that it's a sore subject.
Speaker 1: It's a sore subject, but we don't talk about it. Well, well,
Speaker 1: we don't talk about that, but I can tell you
Speaker 1: that you're if you listen to DVDs, you'll have all
Speaker 1: the exact real music. You won't have any weird Um
Speaker 1: you're you're the only people with DVDs are the ones
Speaker 1: with no musical replacements. Yeah, it was a It was
Speaker 1: a real good purchase for me. Um, great, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. All Right, do you guys have a question
Speaker 1: for um, for Donald or for I or for mouse?
Speaker 1: Is going to go first? I'm gonna go first. Um Well,
Speaker 1: let me just start by saying, I'm I'm so thrilled
Speaker 1: to be here you guys. I am, I am shaking.
Speaker 1: I'm like very excited, UM, very happy. I know, huge
Speaker 1: fans of you guys. Um Donald, I just have to
Speaker 1: mention that last night, UM, my fiance and I rewatched
Speaker 1: my favorite of your movies, I think, which is Remember
Speaker 1: the Titans. Say Okay, yes, I mean thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: You know what you know who has never seen Remember
Speaker 1: the Titans? It's Zach Braff. I'm gonna watch. We had
Speaker 1: a conversation at them. Thank you for bringing this up
Speaker 1: out a conversation. Thank you. We had a conversation at
Speaker 1: the beginning of this episode, and Zach's like, it's all
Speaker 1: my to do list. It's all my to do list. Listen, man,
Speaker 1: I've seen every one of his projects, even the ones
Speaker 1: that didn't come out in theaters, even the ones that
Speaker 1: went straight to video. I've seen everything that Zach Braff
Speaker 1: has been in. I can count them all on this
Speaker 1: hand right here. Well, I thought it was about sports players,
Speaker 1: and I didn't think that I would like it. But
Speaker 1: I love Donald, I love Denzel, and I love Rudy.
Speaker 1: So if it's anything like Rudy. Do you like Ryan Gosling? Yes,
Speaker 1: I think he's wonderful. He's in it. Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: like it? What Harris? I think? If it? I think
Speaker 1: if it has Rudy's in it, I feel it gets
Speaker 1: Rudy with Donald Fazon. Is that? Is it like that? No,
Speaker 1: it's not the Listen, are you the Rudy fing? Are
Speaker 1: you the Rudy? Because if so, I'm fucking watching that
Speaker 1: shit tonight. I have a Rudy moment. I have a
Speaker 1: Rudy moment. Why's your damn movie? Don't all right, let's
Speaker 1: just put it out. Let's just like this. Let's put
Speaker 1: it like this. Let's put it like this. Ryan Gosling, Yeah,
Speaker 1: is up the whole time and I save his ass.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. Okay, I'm gonna think
Speaker 1: about it, all right, go ahead, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: So my question is thank you for watching Alex of course.
Speaker 1: Of course. So one of the things that's just so
Speaker 1: incredible about the show in general is the way that
Speaker 1: you can mix the comedy and the silliness of the
Speaker 1: show with some of these like more dramatic or serious
Speaker 1: moments that sort of center around the theme of loss.
Speaker 1: Right And I know, you just had Brendan Fraser on
Speaker 1: and that's a really big, uh sort of you know,
Speaker 1: plot point in the show for doctor Cox, but of
Speaker 1: course with the loss of John Ritter too. So I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if you guys could talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: what it was like to go through the experience of
Speaker 1: acting on a really highly comedic show and then have
Speaker 1: to sort of transition to these pretty serious storylines where
Speaker 1: the characters are experiencing death and loss of some pretty
Speaker 1: important people in their lives, including patients as well well
Speaker 1: I'll tell you there were times where I didn't think
Speaker 1: it was gonna work. There were there were plenty of
Speaker 1: times where I thought, this is like a hairpin turn
Speaker 1: in a car. How are you going to go from
Speaker 1: me doing something so silly? And then I walk into
Speaker 1: this patient's room and I'm just dropping in for this
Speaker 1: dramatic moment, and I really have to say, it's a
Speaker 1: testament to the writing and to build He found a
Speaker 1: way to make it work. I mean, there were only
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes without commercials, so sometimes you'd read them
Speaker 1: and go, how can you be in this weird fantasy
Speaker 1: and then drop in for this moment where we have
Speaker 1: tears in our eyes. And I think we just always
Speaker 1: tried to play it real. Obviously, the fantasies were heightened
Speaker 1: and some of the some of the physical comedy was heightened,
Speaker 1: but we always tried to deal with the patient moments
Speaker 1: like they were completely played straight. And I think of
Speaker 1: the show Mash a lot, because, um, when I grew up,
Speaker 1: we were watching Mash and it had a laugh track
Speaker 1: on it. But when they went into the surgical uh,
Speaker 1: when they were operating on the soldiers, there was no
Speaker 1: laugh track. Even though there'd still be some humor. It
Speaker 1: was just sort of a choice they made, and I
Speaker 1: often think of that in scrubs. It was almost like
Speaker 1: there were moments when the silion has stopped and we
Speaker 1: just dropped in to play totally straight how a doctor
Speaker 1: would be with it with a sick patient. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think, what do you think? Donald? I
Speaker 1: think it was just a matter of really good writing,
Speaker 1: to be frankly absolutely that, and thank goodness that there
Speaker 1: were you know, that we were able to cut in
Speaker 1: between scenes and stuff like that, and it wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: if if this were a play or something where there
Speaker 1: aren't any cuts in it, it would be very You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right, it would be very hard to be funny funny, funny, funny,
Speaker 1: funny and then switch on a you know, turn on
Speaker 1: a dime and now we're going to be serious. Thank
Speaker 1: goodness that we had cuts, you know, and uh different
Speaker 1: scenes edits hit together. For that, this would have been
Speaker 1: a way more challenging show if this if everything was
Speaker 1: done on one in one take and you having to
Speaker 1: ride that emotional roller coaster. I think, you know, as
Speaker 1: any actor will tell you, those are the most difficult
Speaker 1: scenes where you're starting like, because usually you work yourself up.
Speaker 1: On days when I have like a dramatic scene, I'll
Speaker 1: work myself up and I'll get to the point where,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on the verge of crying. And so
Speaker 1: now I don't have to act that much to get
Speaker 1: to the tears. If I had to be funny and
Speaker 1: laugh and and and joke around and everything like that
Speaker 1: and then move into the dramatic and uh, the sadder
Speaker 1: side of the scene without a cut, I don't know
Speaker 1: how I would be able to do it. It It would
Speaker 1: be such a challenge for me. So thank goodness for
Speaker 1: the takes and editing. Also, it all comes down to
Speaker 1: good writing. I mean, you can make you can. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a movie out Once I really love. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're yeah, great movie. But one thing about
Speaker 1: Once is like Once is the ultimate example of like,
Speaker 1: if you have a great script, you don't need that movie.
Speaker 1: That movie looks like it's shot on an iPhone. No
Speaker 1: disrespect to the cinematographer. I mean it's brilliant. But I
Speaker 1: mean if if you have a great script and great actors,
Speaker 1: you can you can make anything, anything work and uh,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's all. It's all. It all
Speaker 1: comes down to great writing. Is that? Thank you? Alling slowly?
Speaker 1: D do do that one? I love that movie? You
Speaker 1: check out one? Everyone stuff. We have a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of movie recommendations. Quiet American once and remember
Speaker 1: the Titans. All right, Corey, do you have a question
Speaker 1: for the legendary Donald phase on where is Zach Braff?
Speaker 1: I do so for me. I love the fantasy sequences
Speaker 1: in the show. I mean, right from the beginning there
Speaker 1: were such funny you know. And I think my two
Speaker 1: favorite ones are when uh, the character Alex you know, says,
Speaker 1: how would you feel if you know I told you
Speaker 1: I was ready now to have sex in the March
Speaker 1: Band comes from Crashing and yourgether the monkey and the
Speaker 1: monkey with the symbols, Oh my god. And I also
Speaker 1: love memorable it's in later seasons when uh, somebody is
Speaker 1: trying to teach Elliott and tasty Como wife a dance.
Speaker 1: I get Alex told me it was the rewind dance,
Speaker 1: Oh man, And Elliot is so bad bad at dead dance.
Speaker 1: She just such a fantastic job of being a horrible
Speaker 1: at that, flapping her hands and kicking her leg at
Speaker 1: the wrong time. Oh, very funny anyway, So I was
Speaker 1: just thinking about I wonder if there were any fantasy
Speaker 1: scenes that were like pitched or written or even filmed
Speaker 1: that just didn't make it into the show that you remember.
Speaker 1: It's probably pretty tough. It's been a long time. That's
Speaker 1: a very good question. I don't know, Donald, you know,
Speaker 1: it might have to be our third ask Bill. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to ask Bill a third time.
Speaker 1: On this side, it's just like, um, you know that
Speaker 1: show Millionaire when you get we should you should only
Speaker 1: be allowed a certain an amount of like ask a friend,
Speaker 1: call a friend at the audience like, oh, I think
Speaker 1: you're okay. I would give you a passing calling Bill.
Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna ask Bill a third time.
Speaker 1: I hope you can squeeze in a third one. Were
Speaker 1: there any fantasies Bill that um that that didn't make
Speaker 1: the cut? Do you have any memory of anything we
Speaker 1: shot in a wacky fantasy that that was never in
Speaker 1: the show. You guys are watching these shows again. I
Speaker 1: can't remember any I'm so old. I can't remember any
Speaker 1: fantasy scenes that were cut except one that Gabby Allen
Speaker 1: always wanted to do a fantasy about newsies. You know,
Speaker 1: extra extra read all about it, and I think we
Speaker 1: shot that and cut it because no one understood it.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a huge fan of musical theater. Uh, miss
Speaker 1: you guys, love you both, Thank you, Bill. I don't
Speaker 1: one thing, you know. All often the fantasies took a
Speaker 1: lot of time and money. Yeah, so I so, I
Speaker 1: feel like they were rarely cut because it was kind
Speaker 1: of where budget was getting thrown. Um. You know. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they would be really elaborate and take a lot of
Speaker 1: time and money. So usually they probably wouldn't be unless
Speaker 1: some they went wrong with them, and they and they
Speaker 1: weren't funny. And I can see that some of them
Speaker 1: took a long time to make it. It was like
Speaker 1: eight seconds you Oh yeah, that's all. It was just
Speaker 1: eight seconds, but you had to spend all day and
Speaker 1: make up oh yeah, oh yeah, there's some of them
Speaker 1: were so elaborate and they would take forever and do
Speaker 1: and then it'd be fully quick. But they're just the
Speaker 1: laugh out loud parts of the show. And I love
Speaker 1: a TV show that just makes me laugh out loud
Speaker 1: but also has that serious. All my favorite shows have
Speaker 1: that the laugh out Wow What are some of your
Speaker 1: other shows that you love well, Freaks and Geeks is
Speaker 1: probably one of my favorite shows. Yea, yeah, and also
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls is that way too. They dealt very serious subjects,
Speaker 1: but there's some really good, laugh out loud stuff on that.
Speaker 1: For that show, they talk really fast. On Gilmore Girls,
Speaker 1: they do. I love it. I love it. They're they're
Speaker 1: both they're incredibly witty. Um, all right, well, thank you guys.
