Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Donald phased on, Joel Monique and DJ Daniel,
Speaker 1: How are you exactly? How you doing? Are you? Bro?
Speaker 1: I feel great? Listen. Our Super Bowl ad was a
Speaker 1: huge hit. I think Donald, oh yeah, monster head. I
Speaker 1: heard a lot of people watched it. It we um,
Speaker 1: we feel great. Thank you everybody for watching it, and
Speaker 1: uh listen. I think if you listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you know that Donald phase On and I love musicals.
Speaker 1: We love singing and dance, and I don't think either
Speaker 1: one of us we were little kids ever thought we'd
Speaker 1: get a chance to sing Greece with Travolta. So that
Speaker 1: was little little little Zach and little Donald. We're smiling
Speaker 1: ear to ear. Listen. I was nervous at first because
Speaker 1: I watched the whole Super Bowl and the ad didn't
Speaker 1: come on. You thought you thought you didn't weren't gonna
Speaker 1: make the cut. I thought we like last year, I
Speaker 1: was like, when is it gonna come on? And then
Speaker 1: the two minute warning had the most insane placement. That
Speaker 1: is amazing. I gotta tell you I don't normally watch
Speaker 1: the game, um because I could honestly care less, but
Speaker 1: this year I was because we had the spot and
Speaker 1: I was. I just I actually watched the game and
Speaker 1: it was fucking incredible, Like it made me want to
Speaker 1: like get into football. That was such a good game.
Speaker 1: If you want to get into football, I recommend fantasy football.
Speaker 1: You not only would get into football, you will know
Speaker 1: everything about football because you will have that feels like
Speaker 1: double black diamond when I'm talking about a green circle.
Speaker 1: Now into the right you get into the right fantasy
Speaker 1: football thing. All you gotta do is just find a
Speaker 1: couple of names. Everyone who's telling me that was a
Speaker 1: particularly amazing game. Yeah, but you said if you want
Speaker 1: to get into football, you want to watch it, right.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I get it. Truly watched the
Speaker 1: game and I was I got excited to it. It
Speaker 1: was such a good sporting contest. And then at the
Speaker 1: apex of the fucking thing tied at the end, just
Speaker 1: what I was thinking, the same thing, like fucking did
Speaker 1: they clutter and add what the fuck? And just at
Speaker 1: the fucking apex of the ship they played our spot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I got excited. All I heard was I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna get into football, and my fucking heart
Speaker 1: skipped a beat. I could. I'm saying I could. I
Speaker 1: think it was like this is about to level. I
Speaker 1: like Mahomes. I'm a Kansas City fan. I think because
Speaker 1: of Mahomes, I just like him. He's a good He's
Speaker 1: the best football player in the National Football League. He
Speaker 1: is the best best, He's the best football player. Yet also, again,
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, and this is coming
Speaker 1: from someone who knows nothing about the sport, Danil, do
Speaker 1: you follow football? Not really, but well, do you follow football?
Speaker 1: I'll follow Chicago football until it's clear we're not doing
Speaker 1: anything this season, and then tap out. Okay, I know
Speaker 1: very little, so you tapped out pretty early this year,
Speaker 1: pretty freaking early. Donald felt to me, Donald, since you're
Speaker 1: the football expert on the podcast, that the game was
Speaker 1: moving so fast. My experience with football is that like
Speaker 1: it feels slow and boring, like this just never stopped, right.
Speaker 1: I think that's everybody's I think that's I think that's everybody's.
Speaker 1: If you're not into football, or you did you don't
Speaker 1: watch football, I think that's everybody's feeling of what football is.
Speaker 1: But all you have to do is watch, like you said,
Speaker 1: one good game like that, and you'll notice that there
Speaker 1: are a lot of great games in football during the season,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of games like that. It's rare
Speaker 1: that it's the super Bowl where you get a good one,
Speaker 1: But during the season, with all of the teams that
Speaker 1: there are, you get games like this all the time
Speaker 1: where it's you know, action packed. Now, my friend told me,
Speaker 1: our friend Kerrie Brothers, who I was watching with, told
Speaker 1: me that it's like Moneyball, the movie Moneyball, in a
Speaker 1: sense that some of these young coaches are doing things
Speaker 1: because of stats and numbers. That it's like going on
Speaker 1: like going on fourth down. I don't I never again,
Speaker 1: I don't watch much football, but I always thought no
Speaker 1: one went on fourth down and they were on fourth
Speaker 1: down like crazy. Now it's all analytics and like football
Speaker 1: is a great analytical sport because you can play it
Speaker 1: through and that's what fantasy football is. You're playing numbers,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and what you think. You
Speaker 1: know players will do based on what they've done in
Speaker 1: the past. And that's how coaches play football too, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you have you know, players play
Speaker 1: it with their heart, blood, sweat and tears and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Coaches who don't play football are playing the
Speaker 1: numbers and who they think has the best odds of
Speaker 1: beating this and what plays have the best odd of
Speaker 1: you know, should we be in a nickel? Should we
Speaker 1: be in a dime? You know what I mean? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Are we going to go in
Speaker 1: a shotgun? Right? Well? I just saw that, you know,
Speaker 1: Kerry was telling me they've done some things to make
Speaker 1: the game move faster. They've done some things that are
Speaker 1: changing up the sport because to make it more exciting.
Speaker 1: I told I just saw in baseball. They My brother,
Speaker 1: who's a baseball fanatic, told me that they've made the
Speaker 1: basses bigger to inspire stealing, because stealing has become less
Speaker 1: popular and they want to encourage stealing because it's exciting. Dan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is exciting. I mean, I don't know about that
Speaker 1: from like a stat standpoint, that may or may not
Speaker 1: be true. I mean, I believe you you're telling me.
Speaker 1: Why would they make My brother, who's like obsessed with baseball,
Speaker 1: told me this because because I read in the news
Speaker 1: they made basses bigger. I mean, stealing super exciting. All
Speaker 1: I know. I know analytics plays a big role in
Speaker 1: baseball as well. You know, to be Moneyball, that was
Speaker 1: an amazing movie. If you haven't seen an audience Brad.
Speaker 1: You know, you had me in Brad Pitt. But it's
Speaker 1: also an incredible movie. I don't know if analytics plays
Speaker 1: that big of a role in basketball, but in baseball
Speaker 1: and in footballis nodding totally of course, absolutely drawing fouls
Speaker 1: so you can take free throws. That's like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's the gamesmanship of the NBA, like it used to
Speaker 1: be if someone went up for right. But they're trying
Speaker 1: to eliminate that though. Yeah, they're still figuring out ways
Speaker 1: around it. I mean, but what I'm saying, somebody like
Speaker 1: James Harden, who went to the line like twenty seven
Speaker 1: times twenty eight times a night, is now going way
Speaker 1: less than that. So you're right, this is a change
Speaker 1: that's being made. But the question was our analytics applied
Speaker 1: to things like basketball? And the answer is certainly yes.
Speaker 1: By free through free throws, that's what you're saying, through
Speaker 1: free throws, through defensive choices, like, there's all sorts of
Speaker 1: things that apply it to like you know, the games
Speaker 1: and ship that goes into being better at basketball. But
Speaker 1: Shack Daddy always Shaq Daddy always says, you know, analytics,
Speaker 1: shmanalytics you know what I mean, I kind of agree.
Speaker 1: Agree When it comes from basketball, man, you can't. The
Speaker 1: creativity that comes in basketball is way different than the
Speaker 1: creativity and football and in base So we'll have to
Speaker 1: have one of these coaches on in the near future
Speaker 1: to talk about how they use analytics. I would love
Speaker 1: to have a coach. I would love to have Popovich, Popovich,
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, Mark Jackson. I would love to have any
Speaker 1: of them on this show. The only one I've a
Speaker 1: coach I've met and I'm embarrassed and I forgot his name,
Speaker 1: So don't judge me. Everyone but the Clippers coach? Wait,
Speaker 1: which one they have? The doctor Doc Doc Doc. He's
Speaker 1: not the Clippers coach anymore. He's the Philadelphia seventy six
Speaker 1: I've met him a few times. I met him a
Speaker 1: few times, and I have a friend who's friends with him,
Speaker 1: so he's he's a chance we could get. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: be amazing legend. My uncle is a basketball coach. It's
Speaker 1: not coaching right now, but he was. Who's your uncle.
Speaker 1: His name is Jim O'Brien. He coached the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1: Coach the Boss, Jim O'Brien is Jim O'Brien is your uncle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's my uncle. What he knows about animals? Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know if our audience, I just don't know if
Speaker 1: they down after the show, if they want to go
Speaker 1: down on basketball wormhole right right, well, this might be
Speaker 1: enough for I do. They might have said, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: thanks for the sports talk? What else you got? Right?
Speaker 1: When thanks talk? When are you going to talk about Scrubs?
Speaker 1: We are going to talk about Scrubs, but something else
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about. We're trying to think what
Speaker 1: it was. Oh, there's so many things I want to talk,
Speaker 1: so many things to talk about. Are you going to
Speaker 1: talk about the Last of Us? Daniel, and And and
Speaker 1: Joel want to watch the latest one, The Last of Us?
Speaker 1: So you're watching the Last of Us? Now? I'm actually
Speaker 1: going I'm obsessed with finishing the Boys because it's just
Speaker 1: so incredible. I watched the hero Gasm episode, Yes, that was.
Speaker 1: It's just such a fun show. The writing is so good,
Speaker 1: the acting is so good. There's no reason. It doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense that those leads have not been nominated
Speaker 1: for awards. I know they do. You know that these
Speaker 1: I know that they Awards. People stray away from action.
Speaker 1: But the talent on this show is is just incredible,
Speaker 1: A great, great show. I'm really loving it. Um, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm watching lately. I'm a little behind on the
Speaker 1: Last of Us. It has been good. I'm not watching.
Speaker 1: I'm not watching. I haven't watched it. You only miss
Speaker 1: one episode if you watched episode three. Episode four is
Speaker 1: the only other one that's out now, Donald, did you
Speaker 1: want Are you excited? There's a marvel thing coming out
Speaker 1: and here's something you weigh in? I don't know you're
Speaker 1: excited for aunt Man three? Well? You know former cast
Speaker 1: member of mine from well known movie called Clueless is
Speaker 1: the star of aunt Yes, so he love everybody loves
Speaker 1: Paul rod Donald. I was not invited to the premiere,
Speaker 1: but I I appreciate from Afar how well he's done. Um, Paul,
Speaker 1: way to go aunt Okay, everyone else, Paul, are you
Speaker 1: excited about the movie? Doesn't look like it? Joel? I
Speaker 1: am very I am you saw saw it good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to spoil anything. Give a two second review,
Speaker 1: which I know Joel so well. After a hundred and
Speaker 1: we've done one hundred and fifty episodes of the show
Speaker 1: and I know, but she's gonna be so tactful. Watch
Speaker 1: she's gonna be Look, everyone has the things they like.
Speaker 1: The action in comedy is spectacular, truly, it's it's so funny.
Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest I've left in an MC
Speaker 1: movie in a minute. I just think Disney has to
Speaker 1: find a way to bring actual fear because that is
Speaker 1: how we empathize with characters, and it's what I think
Speaker 1: really brings an audience into that dope. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: what makes it mean. If you look at the last
Speaker 1: to the Infinity War an end game, their fear all
Speaker 1: we're worried about Iron Man? Is Peter going to come back?
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of you know, they were really
Speaker 1: able to build in fear into those movies, and since then,
Speaker 1: I think, all through Phase four and now as we
Speaker 1: tiptoe into Phase five, that fear is gone. I need
Speaker 1: to worry that someone's gonna die. I need to really
Speaker 1: the stakes need to be beyond the world by end.
Speaker 1: But now it might be love these movies, but now
Speaker 1: that they've killed Iron Man and Captain America, it's so
Speaker 1: hard to develop that who are you going to fall
Speaker 1: in love with? Again, Peter Parker. You know that can't last.
Speaker 1: So everybody's geared up and ready for that to happen,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, but you've seen plenty
Speaker 1: of films where the stakes are just is this person
Speaker 1: going to say I like you back? Is right? You know?
Speaker 1: Am I gonna earn my parents' trust or respect back? Like,
Speaker 1: you don't have to have an end of the world
Speaker 1: scenario in order for us to really empathize with what
Speaker 1: a character is going through. And I wish Marvel would
Speaker 1: make smaller, more emotionally impactful movies so that when we
Speaker 1: get to these big events, were right along the edge
Speaker 1: with them. Okay, let me say this, Joe. Well, it
Speaker 1: took them ten years to get to Phase four, so
Speaker 1: everybody was really invested in those characters, right Phase four,
Speaker 1: Phase four and five seem like they've introduced way more
Speaker 1: characters than they did in the first three film might
Speaker 1: say too many, you know what I mean. So it's like,
Speaker 1: who are we supposed to fall you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Who do you fall in love with? If this is
Speaker 1: the thing they're gonna have to figure out going forward.
Speaker 1: But I think it's why we're willfy night. It was
Speaker 1: such a success for me anyway, It so good of
Speaker 1: watch like they should do this. This is what I
Speaker 1: think they should do. Blade Werewolf by Night, the dude
Speaker 1: from Freaking the Eternals with the who was about to
Speaker 1: pick up the sword was the name of that group
Speaker 1: that they have ghostwriters. They need to do the freaking
Speaker 1: supernatural version of Marvel here for it, because look, check
Speaker 1: this out. Blade was the number one movie until all
Speaker 1: of this stuff came around. Blade was the number one
Speaker 1: ali doing it now so it's going to be dope.
Speaker 1: I still think they should let Wesley have some sort
Speaker 1: of shine and this bad boy because that sailed it has. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been back, but look, let me tell you something
Speaker 1: right now, man, he carried that franchise for a really
Speaker 1: long time. Dude, Wesley Snipes was the what a comic
Speaker 1: book hero was until freaking fig He took over of
Speaker 1: all it. Fig He might even been the producer that
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And Figy turned Captain American iron Man into superhero. But
Speaker 1: before that, it was freaking Blade that was the number
Speaker 1: one dude. It was better than all the Batman movies,
Speaker 1: all of that shit. I'm getting loud again, I said,
Speaker 1: I promised I wouldn't get loud. I'm sorry, Yeah, don't yell.
Speaker 1: I know Wesley Snipes had issues with paying his taxes,
Speaker 1: but why did he why did he disappear beyond that
Speaker 1: because he went to jail. Bro Oh, he went to
Speaker 1: jail for not paying his taxes. Yeah, man, oh, you
Speaker 1: gotta pay your taxes. Eddie Murphy said that shit play.
Speaker 1: The more you know music, you gotta pay. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say something right now, man, I do believe that. And
Speaker 1: I know that he can't, he can't be Blade anymore,
Speaker 1: but I honestly believe that you are missing an opportunity.
Speaker 1: If Wesley Snipes isn't in some ways kicking somebody, isn't
Speaker 1: kicking somebody's ass, and like watching Wesley kiss kick ass,
Speaker 1: that's what you're saying, dude, Wesley didn't look If Harrison
Speaker 1: Ford can be in the Marble Universe, Denzel should be
Speaker 1: in the Marble Unit, like all of these cats should
Speaker 1: be up in there, man, because what about Donald Faison.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like they have
Speaker 1: a better shot than I do. Listen, we have a
Speaker 1: surprise for you, Daniel. Will you let Kevin Figgy into
Speaker 1: my shot. He's here hilarious and he has something he
Speaker 1: wants to ask you. Kevin anyway, yo, but sincerely like,
Speaker 1: I think Denzel should be in the Marvel universe. I think,
Speaker 1: and I also believe. I feel like, in all honesty,
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, um, DONALDA should have No
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, No, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes should also be universes tirade everyone about never
Speaker 1: my last words. I gotta tell you, Donald phase on,
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the best Scrubs episodes
Speaker 1: of the whole run. Yeah, I hands down. Okay, but
Speaker 1: there's a problem. There's a problem with that. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is a top ten. A lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of our actor no doubt, a lot
Speaker 1: of actors from the show aren't in right, nobody's in it.
Speaker 1: It's me and you. Uh. Carla has one appearance, but
Speaker 1: no Elliott, no Cox, no Kelso, no Janitor. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: all those people. They're in nine of the top ten.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a top ten or I
Speaker 1: would go as far as to say top five, top
Speaker 1: and we owe it all everyone to the magnificent Glenn Thurman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who plays George. Um. I don't know if Bill got
Speaker 1: the idea for Glenn because I had directed Glenn pilot,
Speaker 1: a big pilot I directed and he was one of
Speaker 1: the leads, and maybe that put him and I told
Speaker 1: him I'm just sure they'll knew who Glenn Turman was,
Speaker 1: but that may have put him in Bill's mind for
Speaker 1: this role. But man, did Glenn Turman at the end
Speaker 1: when he has those tears in his eye, like, I'm
Speaker 1: getting goosebumps thinking about it right now. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: so a little known fact Glenn told us while we
Speaker 1: were making this episode. I remember this episode. I remember
Speaker 1: making this episode and thing, this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: great episode just because we got to witness what he did. Anyway,
Speaker 1: but while making it, he was like, you know, because
Speaker 1: he found out I was a huge Star Wars fan.
Speaker 1: He was like, well, you know, I was supposed to
Speaker 1: be Han solo And I was like what. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know this, it's in the books. You can look
Speaker 1: into books and stuff like that. It's true. He was like,
Speaker 1: but they knew that it was gonna be a relationship
Speaker 1: with a white woman, and at the times weren't ready
Speaker 1: for it, and I was like, oh shit, he was
Speaker 1: also married to Aretha Franklin. A lot of people don't
Speaker 1: know that. I didn't know that either. You know, when
Speaker 1: others are you off topic, well, a divergent topic is
Speaker 1: I just learned that Pacino was offered off the off
Speaker 1: the off the mega stardom of Godfather one. He was
Speaker 1: offered the Han solo part, and he turned it down
Speaker 1: and he read it and he was like, what is this.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the house going Yeah, look at this.
Speaker 1: I was just I just saw him at A Q
Speaker 1: and A and he told that story and uh and
Speaker 1: it was It was really funny hearing him tell how
Speaker 1: he just didn't understand what Lucas was going for at all.
Speaker 1: I just didn't get it. It's well, and you know,
Speaker 1: Lucas and Francis Ford, Coppola or Titus can be like yeah,
Speaker 1: and and and and this was right off that. This
Speaker 1: was right off Godfather where he was the hottest doctum
Speaker 1: in town. And of course, as every a lot of
Speaker 1: people know from the lore, the studio didn't want Peccino
Speaker 1: at all for The Godfather. They fought him in fought
Speaker 1: Coppola over and over and over again. In fact, I
Speaker 1: learned from this Q and A that Coppola moved up
Speaker 1: You guys will love this story. He moved up the
Speaker 1: infamous scene where Michael Corleone shoots the police captain and
Speaker 1: the other mobster in the restaurant where Michael finds the
Speaker 1: gun behind the toilet, because the studio was so intent
Speaker 1: on firing Pacino that he said, you know, we're not
Speaker 1: supposed to shoot that scene for a month. We're shooting
Speaker 1: it next week because I gotta give him the scene
Speaker 1: that's just going to blow them out of the water
Speaker 1: and shut them up. And he did that. They shot
Speaker 1: the scene. He never heard from him again. Nice, nice,
Speaker 1: oh man. And he thinks Coppola has had to do
Speaker 1: to make his movies great. Where why do people constantly
Speaker 1: fight that thing? I know, I know, I mean think
Speaker 1: about think about the movies he's made. Okay, that's just it.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing with George Lucas though. Man, the
Speaker 1: studio thought Star Wars was going to be a piece
Speaker 1: of shit, and look at where it's at now. Can't
Speaker 1: look at mine? Your mind makes you think of Mike
Speaker 1: White At the funniest part of the Golden globes when
Speaker 1: he's all drunk on talking about white loadus too, pointing
Speaker 1: at the audience. You meaning like you all passed, your
Speaker 1: passed and you passed. It was hilarious. All right, let's
Speaker 1: focus on scrubs and TV shows. So it was written
Speaker 1: by a scene botcher and directed by a young man
Speaker 1: named Bill Lawrence, who crushed it. Bill rushed its lighting
Speaker 1: was amazing, the look of the whole show. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know a lot, you know, young man once told me,
Speaker 1: he said to me, you know, regardless of what happens,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll you have your story to tell. You have
Speaker 1: something to say, and people are gonna want to hear
Speaker 1: it eventually. And Bill, let me tell you something right now,
Speaker 1: you were saying something with this episode, Bro, you really
Speaker 1: were a man like you You, I mean, you and
Speaker 1: a scene you both captured something. Because you know, it's
Speaker 1: rare that I get emotional watching something that I've been
Speaker 1: but I was very proud to be a part of
Speaker 1: this episode and to be on camera and in the
Speaker 1: same scenes with Glenn Turman. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: and well you too, Zach, no doubt, no, but I
Speaker 1: agree with you. And it's just really it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's one of those special ones, like like like like
Speaker 1: the funeral with with where do you think we are
Speaker 1: with with Brendan and and it's just one of those
Speaker 1: ones that just or My Old Lady, which I think
Speaker 1: was one oh three or something, it's just one of
Speaker 1: those special ones. It's like, whoa, this is how this
Speaker 1: is Scrubs at its best. It's so silly at certain times,
Speaker 1: you know, with the whole stake, nights song and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, which we'll go through. But then then you
Speaker 1: go Glenn Turman dying with his tears in his eyes,
Speaker 1: and it's just fucking hell. Like the fact that this
Speaker 1: is done in twenty two minutes and you've experienced all
Speaker 1: these emotions, it's just the high it's just the high
Speaker 1: bar for for what a great team can do in
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes of TV. And I'm I'm I felt
Speaker 1: also very proud to be a part of it. Let's
Speaker 1: get into it. Let's get into it. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: start with um Jordan at the computer, Jordan at the computer,
Speaker 1: and and and Courtney's character Doctor Maddox. Really she's she's
Speaker 1: a mix of being able to go friendly and soulless.
Speaker 1: She tells Jordan she looks old, which cuts right to
Speaker 1: her heart because no one wants to hear that, right,
Speaker 1: but this also don't And I get told we look
Speaker 1: old all the time, which is I get. I get
Speaker 1: I look tired a lot, which yeah, it's like, we
Speaker 1: understand that people grew up with us looking young in
Speaker 1: our twenties, but we don't. We don't want to hear
Speaker 1: that we look old. We know, No, I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear that. Shit. It doesn't feel good. Um, but
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure you'll continue because hater's gonna hate
Speaker 1: write Taylor Taylor Swift flifter just gonna hate, hate hate.
Speaker 1: Haters aren't gonna hate hate, hate hate. Um, how do
Speaker 1: I know? Love that Miley Cyrus song Flowers? I can
Speaker 1: buy myself Flowers? What's the Scissor song you were singing
Speaker 1: that I like too? Oh? Freaking uh? I just killed Max. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just killed my ex. What a bad idea, dad too.
Speaker 1: I was listening to a Spotify Charts top charts list.
Speaker 1: I think it's the number two songs in the country.
Speaker 1: Check it out. It's the melody is amazing, very hooky. Yeah,
Speaker 1: um um okay, so then we have a fantasy where
Speaker 1: doctor Maddox tries to kill a patient because she's just
Speaker 1: so hardcore. She she she's worse than kelso it seems,
Speaker 1: but she but she has a way of turning on
Speaker 1: the super friendly because she's so beautiful and charming. But
Speaker 1: then she's just as cut through it as Kelso that
Speaker 1: was pretty good to seeing with her choking out the yeah,
Speaker 1: the pillow with the pillow, this guy die, right, And
Speaker 1: then we have um Um Joe and Ed her name
Speaker 1: is not what's her character name, I call her name
Speaker 1: facts of life. But Denise, right, Denise just has no
Speaker 1: bedside manner. Stand Ed is just winning everyone over. He's
Speaker 1: Jady kind of hates him because he's very charming and
Speaker 1: and he's getting catchphrases going, and Jady's trying to start
Speaker 1: rumors about him. He says the churk I heard he
Speaker 1: smokes plants. Yeah, and Ed has the ability to start.
Speaker 1: His superpower is he can start trends quickly, which brings
Speaker 1: Deonte Gordon, who was my standing throughout Scrubs, back into
Speaker 1: the episode. This is his big episode, this ses. So
Speaker 1: we say steak night, we do our steak night, Steak
Speaker 1: night right, right, Yes, and then and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden Ed comes by and turns our steak night. He
Speaker 1: goes Great Fellas, right, turns our steak night cry into
Speaker 1: a trending topic in the hospital. Yeah, and so, but
Speaker 1: what did he say too? It wasn't he goes. I
Speaker 1: think he he copies it. He goes, and then he
Speaker 1: goes Gravy Fellas. No, he says to Deonte, may your
Speaker 1: onions always be such and such, and may your mushrooms
Speaker 1: always be sauteed and your onions always grilled. And then
Speaker 1: he goes, and then he goes to then he goes
Speaker 1: to us, and he goes Gravy Fellas when he's leaving,
Speaker 1: and then I say cream spinach yo, And you're like,
Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't do that? You know A Z's man,
Speaker 1: I really, I I'm not gonna lie. Man. He if he,
Speaker 1: if he would have stayed on the show, he would
Speaker 1: have boosted our freaking our comedy in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: Man Like he was. This is not stuff that was written.
Speaker 1: This is him riffing off the top. If I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: he was like nine was he No, he did he
Speaker 1: he was smart, He got out he saw it he
Speaker 1: saw the light at the end of the tunnel. No,
Speaker 1: but why did he only do three? He must have
Speaker 1: must have had something, because he went on to do
Speaker 1: Parks and wreck. Yeah, you're right, parks and wreck, Parks
Speaker 1: and wreck. Okay, but but look, if I this is
Speaker 1: an ass bill thing. But I think he had the
Speaker 1: choice between doing that and scrubs and he was like
Speaker 1: this shit is almost over. Well that makes sense, and
Speaker 1: also he would have been an original cast member and
Speaker 1: I'm sure paid more money and all that stuff. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: So then we see an administrative assistant that seemingly for
Speaker 1: no reason, has the sexy saxophone music with the slow motion.
Speaker 1: It's so funny that it's always bad. Man, He's always
Speaker 1: that fucking sound, which sounds as ass like. It sounds
Speaker 1: like it should come with my my my mixer thing
Speaker 1: like this. Okay, I don't understand. You said the wind
Speaker 1: blows in her hair. You didn't say anything about the
Speaker 1: light or the boobs like in this one, she literally
Speaker 1: pushes together. And then we come back and I'm holding
Speaker 1: a hot dog. Yeah, there's a couple things going on here.
Speaker 1: Most of the women who come through and do this
Speaker 1: are our guest stars or Sarah or Christa and they're
Speaker 1: having like a sexy interest, but none of them push
Speaker 1: their boobs together. Um, this was a model, I assume
Speaker 1: who was hired to be a beautiful woman. But she
Speaker 1: actually pushes her cleavage together. She puts a little little
Speaker 1: sauce on it, pushes it together to the right. You know,
Speaker 1: it was nice, like it was Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1: It was a moment for me. Yes, so she looked beautiful.
Speaker 1: But and I'm like, why are they We know the
Speaker 1: audience knows this gag. Why are they doing this? And
Speaker 1: I went, Oh, they're setting it up for the payoff
Speaker 1: later with the senior citizen woman doing it right, that's
Speaker 1: the only purpose. That the only reason that because the
Speaker 1: audience knows the convention that we do in scrubs. But
Speaker 1: they kind of I think Bill felt like, oh, we
Speaker 1: need to remind them of this convention so we can
Speaker 1: make a joke off of it with the old lady later.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say one thing. I don't see anything
Speaker 1: you're gonna regret. I'm not gonna say anything i'm gonna regret.
Speaker 1: But when the old lady did it at the end,
Speaker 1: didn't know did you get no didn't you feel But
Speaker 1: when the old lady did it, didn't you feel like? Like?
Speaker 1: So here's how I look at it. As I've gotten older,
Speaker 1: my taste has gotten older. Right, So if I'm Glenn's
Speaker 1: age in the bed, George's age in the bed, if
Speaker 1: I am right, there was so much other as he said,
Speaker 1: asked in the building? Right, what made him choose that? Well,
Speaker 1: everyone has their unique taste that I think as you
Speaker 1: get your taste goes up. I think that I perhaps,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter to each their own. His. It
Speaker 1: could have been a it could have been a male orderly,
Speaker 1: or it could have been Jordan. It could have been anyone,
Speaker 1: but his thing, his with God, him shifting was that
Speaker 1: senior citizen with the gray hair in the in the
Speaker 1: slow motion and the wind blowing, and she didn't do
Speaker 1: the cleavage thing. No, she chose not to. I think
Speaker 1: she was in a patient gown. So what's the hot
Speaker 1: dog pen? You do a hot dog pen thing? So
Speaker 1: every time uh JD goes into this, Turk tries to
Speaker 1: take advantage right of him losing focus right, not being
Speaker 1: present right, and he thinks he's he thinks he's caught
Speaker 1: himself before he's gone too far. But Turk has already
Speaker 1: got him with the hot dog pencil. So JD has
Speaker 1: a pin or grabs a pen and it's real a
Speaker 1: hot dog and he's trying to write with a hot dog. Yes,
Speaker 1: and then you call me honky face, which is weird.
Speaker 1: That's weird, man. I know, that's like out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: I know, I think honky even though people don't use
Speaker 1: it anymore, was still funny to us in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight. Yeah, but that's like out of nowhere. That's
Speaker 1: just like out of nowhere. It just came. You probably
Speaker 1: improv did I imagine? No. I would never call you
Speaker 1: honky face on television. I would never just be like,
Speaker 1: honky face, what is it? Honky face? But hearing you
Speaker 1: say it now still makes me giggle, So I guess
Speaker 1: it worked. So what I forgot about the famous Steak
Speaker 1: Night dance and song, which I want you to know,
Speaker 1: Donald and I made up on the spot, both the
Speaker 1: melody and both the melody and the choreography we made
Speaker 1: up on the spot. We didn't know that it would
Speaker 1: be sung by by men and women across the globe
Speaker 1: to this day. That pose at the end is this
Speaker 1: This isn't the origin of steak night, is it? It is?
Speaker 1: This is the season eight is the origin of steak night.
Speaker 1: You guys have a steak night earlier. I want to say,
Speaker 1: in season six. I don't believe we've ever heard that.
Speaker 1: There's no song, the song and dance Donald. I remember
Speaker 1: on this day Steak was like, you guys like, make
Speaker 1: up a song and a dance about and we just
Speaker 1: literally I'm pretty sure Bill was like, no, the song
Speaker 1: goes we go instant. We should ask him. No, I
Speaker 1: can tell you we made it is the world. That's me.
Speaker 1: We made that up. We made it a steak night.
Speaker 1: We gonna stay eat it right well, and we didn't
Speaker 1: make that up. That's freaking uh. Eddie Murphy because your
Speaker 1: Daddy's and alcah like, hey, alcohol want to lick sich
Speaker 1: like because you are on the well, you can't afford it.
Speaker 1: You can't afford it too much. That's from Eddie Murphy's
Speaker 1: Delirious everyone. If you're looking for a reference, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe we were subconsciously inspired by that, but I mean
Speaker 1: it's not like it's a fancy melody or anything, but
Speaker 1: that I remember us going like, what the fuck are
Speaker 1: we gonna do, and we came up with the sort
Speaker 1: of dance and the hold at the end. I don't
Speaker 1: mean that shit is so random, but it's the faces
Speaker 1: and the commitment. Like we were just that we performed
Speaker 1: a number for the breath out of breath. What about
Speaker 1: the fact that, um, I've forgotten that the room has
Speaker 1: to be clear for the dance to be performed. We
Speaker 1: had to check both ways to make that. Poor nurse
Speaker 1: interrupts us to actually do our jobs, and like started
Speaker 1: an IVA on someone and we screaming, I'm doing the
Speaker 1: state night and then and then we say and then
Speaker 1: we say that we're going to finish it in the
Speaker 1: bathroom of the restaurant, meaning there's another verse. All right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break and we come back. We
Speaker 1: will talk about m j D and Turkey and George
Speaker 1: Glenn Turnan. We will be right back for every bad
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, you said it. You said
Speaker 1: it in the beginning. This is one of the best episodes.
Speaker 1: I wrote that so many times in my notes, like
Speaker 1: just even for you and I. As as far as
Speaker 1: j D and Turk goes, this is up there with
Speaker 1: the Jason Bateman episode. This is up there with the
Speaker 1: with the Heather Graham episode, Like this is a great buddy,
Speaker 1: you know, buddy episode, and we have a few of them,
Speaker 1: but this is the first one of season eight one.
Speaker 1: But this is a good one too, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like all I also like about it is
Speaker 1: there's so many, so much of Scrubs as us in
Speaker 1: a heightened state. You know, we're where you know, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a comedy where we're being broad. The fantasies
Speaker 1: are super broad. I always love it when Scrubs drops
Speaker 1: in and we're just playing it completely real, and this
Speaker 1: this episode has so much of that. You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of humor. Obviously there's something as silly as
Speaker 1: the stake night dance and all the other stuff, but
Speaker 1: you know, you and I and and and Glenn are
Speaker 1: playing the stakes of his death so real and it's
Speaker 1: just felt It just felt so natural, I really think.
Speaker 1: And obviously Bill Lawrence is directing it, so it's going
Speaker 1: to be extra good. But but um, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just love the three of us just sitting there
Speaker 1: and acting and it didn't feel scripted. It felt so natural. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I loved I loved you know him saying he was afraid,
Speaker 1: and us being like, I mean asking us if we
Speaker 1: were afraid of death, and us being like the characters
Speaker 1: Turk and JD being like, nah, man, you know, I
Speaker 1: work at a hospital. It's kind of and it's easy
Speaker 1: for me to think about death now because I see
Speaker 1: it so much. You know, it comes with the territory.
Speaker 1: I know everybody's going to die eventually. And then for
Speaker 1: them to have that one eighty turn at the end
Speaker 1: of the show where they're like, no, dude, I'm terrified.
Speaker 1: I was bullshitting before. I was just bullshitting. I'm scared
Speaker 1: of it all the time. You know. That was amazing.
Speaker 1: And then realizing oh, we've taken it too far, and
Speaker 1: then having to rescue him or rescue his fears with
Speaker 1: what we think is after death. You know, there's so
Speaker 1: many great moments. I was gonna say, it's a really
Speaker 1: nice bookend with my old Lady, which which isn't I
Speaker 1: think the third episode of SCUS in one where we're
Speaker 1: losing our first patient, right and JD is literally being
Speaker 1: comforted by the woman dying, saying she's ready to go.
Speaker 1: And now eight years later, you see us we've experienced
Speaker 1: a lot of death. We're so cavalier about it that
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, it sucks. So he seems like a
Speaker 1: nice man. Let's go to dinner. Though it isn't all
Speaker 1: until we find out via Ted that he doesn't have
Speaker 1: any family. He lied to us about having family to
Speaker 1: come visit him. Um, that you see, you see, first
Speaker 1: of all, what good men the two characters are that
Speaker 1: they're that they that they have the empathy to go
Speaker 1: fuck fuck state night, dude, Let's go be with this man.
Speaker 1: It's probably his last it's most likely his last night alive.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. It's just an interesting there's interesting
Speaker 1: parallels back to my old lady. I think, yeah, absolutely
Speaker 1: so he has eschemic bowel disease, which when when j
Speaker 1: D and Turk look at the chart, they know what
Speaker 1: that means and they can see all his vitals and
Speaker 1: they know that he doesn't have long and um, and
Speaker 1: then probably they know that it's probably that night they noticed,
Speaker 1: probably gonna happen soon. Now the comic relief here is Ted,
Speaker 1: who Um, it's very funny when when when when Glenn says,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I have a young, handsome lawyer who's taking
Speaker 1: care of my will and Ted goes, oh, I thought
Speaker 1: it was me, and he rips up the document. He goes, Ted,
Speaker 1: I think he was talking about you, and he goes, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I tie, I wrote this on the typewriter. I'll be
Speaker 1: back in eleven hours. And then when they show him
Speaker 1: when the typewriter, when we're talking to him, and he's
Speaker 1: literally one yeah button every three seconds, like his typing
Speaker 1: in high school. I never took typing, but you know
Speaker 1: there were people that like I could type. I wish
Speaker 1: I had. Don't you wish you had? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: If you got kids in high school, make sure they
Speaker 1: take typing, because listen, they will be able to text
Speaker 1: you so quick. I wish I took typing. Can you
Speaker 1: guys type without looking at the screen, yes, without looking
Speaker 1: at the keyboard. I never took that class. I wish
Speaker 1: I took it. I'm a writer, and I'm pretty quick.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty quick with mine, with my packing.
Speaker 1: But man, I wish I took typing that beacon. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: For some reason, they can't do my password regular typing.
Speaker 1: The people like him. The second I have to remember
Speaker 1: my password, I'm like, okay, Orange Juice three obviously I
Speaker 1: could do it now. I should probably do it now,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I just I type pretty darn
Speaker 1: fast when I'm writing my scripts and stuff. But I've
Speaker 1: always whenever I see someone going on without looking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you motherfucker that Casey can do that. She can. It's
Speaker 1: all those kids that took typing in high school. We
Speaker 1: learned so much bullshit in high school. You remembering the proofs?
Speaker 1: I do not need proofs. Yeah. You remember in the
Speaker 1: Color of Money where Tom Cruise is playing pool and
Speaker 1: he looks over his shoulder and taps the ball into
Speaker 1: the hole without looking, the eight ball into the hole.
Speaker 1: That's how Casey is with typing. She'll be like, typing, typing, typing.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, Casey can ask you a question, and
Speaker 1: she'll look up at me and you, uh huh be
Speaker 1: typing while she's looking at me, and I'll be like,
Speaker 1: and I'll be like, is there any can you tell
Speaker 1: me where the uh where the sure I'm this is
Speaker 1: gonna use this as an example. Can you tell me
Speaker 1: where the ball? Gag is? Oh my god, that story
Speaker 1: of you guys having sex last week was so funny. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Danie'll play the more you know. So, parents of kids
Speaker 1: going into high school, I'm telling you make them take
Speaker 1: typing Daniel, the more you know, thank you. Um okay,
Speaker 1: so oh that was also funny when we so he
Speaker 1: wants a cigar and we're like, we can't. You can't
Speaker 1: have a cigar. It's gonna blow up the whole ICU
Speaker 1: because of oxygen. But we can go get your beer.
Speaker 1: So we go get him a beer and that's when
Speaker 1: we run a cress Ted who's trying to type again.
Speaker 1: And it's the funniest part. Ted tells us that he
Speaker 1: doesn't he's lying. He doesn't have any family, and but
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard when he types and he goes, not, gee,
Speaker 1: do you remember that? Like I remember old school typing
Speaker 1: and there was a there was a backspace button, right,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't it? Yeah, you could go over the like
Speaker 1: you But did you have to use white out or where?
Speaker 1: Or did it? No? It would have the white out
Speaker 1: in if you had a really nice typewriter, it would
Speaker 1: have the white out in the tape also, so you
Speaker 1: would go back right and you could go back and
Speaker 1: and delete one letter, yeah, or more than that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you could delete more than that. But you would have
Speaker 1: to press today. I'll never know hids today will never
Speaker 1: know white out Donald and then to bold something and
Speaker 1: remember you'd have to go all the way back and
Speaker 1: then type the word again, and then go back and
Speaker 1: then type the word again to remember bold. I remember
Speaker 1: white out man. Now, kids today they'll never know white
Speaker 1: out Donald. Motherfucking kids barely know what pencils are. This
Speaker 1: is true. There is no cap, no cap. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm oh man. I remember. I remember back in the days,
Speaker 1: like with the with the five inch floppy of it
Speaker 1: like not working and like you lost your whole fucking
Speaker 1: have you ever had that happen, like like by four
Speaker 1: auto save and before everything, like old school five inch
Speaker 1: floppy and like all of a sudden it's all gone
Speaker 1: like ms dos, like it's all gone, and you're like,
Speaker 1: where is it? Where is it? It's gone? No. I
Speaker 1: remember Floppy discs. I remember that shit. I remember that.
Speaker 1: We were the hard disks that came after Floppy that
Speaker 1: was three and a half inch floppy right now, drive No, No,
Speaker 1: there was there was the hard ones before that. There
Speaker 1: was the there was like the five and a half
Speaker 1: inch Floppy. There was actually floppy literally, oh no, I don't.

Speaker 1: you don't even know this. What hold are you again?
Speaker 1: Thirty three? Yeah, you're way too young to know. Look
Speaker 1: at Google image on your computer right now. I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it was called the five and a
Speaker 1: half inch floppy just floppy floppy disk. I mean like
Speaker 1: they still called they still called the hard plastic ones
Speaker 1: floppy disc I think, yeah, they weren't say they weren't floppy.
Speaker 1: These were actually floppy. Okay, do you see that? You
Speaker 1: see that little tape in the middle for it, the
Speaker 1: thing in the middle, just like original floppy discs. I
Speaker 1: think it was like it was about this big Dane.
Speaker 1: It's like this big and it has a circle in
Speaker 1: the middle that has Yeah, I think I see what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. They were actually physically floppy. Yes, you
Speaker 1: could bend it. You could you bend it and everything.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to bend it. You'd be upset if
Speaker 1: somebody bitch your floppy disk, but you would put it
Speaker 1: in your drive and you never seen everything. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the big black one, the big black one. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys never saw this crazy blue and so and
Speaker 1: so was and so was the one the five and
Speaker 1: a half. That's a floppy disc too. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: orange one. I'm not I don't think one was floppy.
Speaker 1: That was floppy, I know, but Donald I never I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about those. I'm talking about the black one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about too. Yeah, we'll share this
Speaker 1: picture on Twitter. My very first um video games I
Speaker 1: ever played on a computer were word games. So it
Speaker 1: would be like you've entered a large room and you
Speaker 1: would type in like move towards the window, and it
Speaker 1: was like him in the beginning of Freaking Big where
Speaker 1: he's playing the game with the ice, remember that, But
Speaker 1: there's no there were no graphics telling them to take
Speaker 1: out the trash and he's playing one a second and
Speaker 1: he's trying to type it. Are there no graphics? It's
Speaker 1: just words? No, there was there was graphics. Oh I'm
Speaker 1: talking about a game where you had a physical map
Speaker 1: that came with the game, maybe, but there was nothing
Speaker 1: on the screen. You were just words and you'd be like,
Speaker 1: moved closer to the window. It's like you have moved
Speaker 1: closer to the window, like and that your fortress. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's called. Okay, but it ran on
Speaker 1: MS DOS hell yeah, um, anyway, I didn't play that game,
Speaker 1: and then I and then I graduated to um the
Speaker 1: smaller plastic floppies, which all the Sierra games were on those. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite games ever. Two when I
Speaker 1: was a kid too. And then leisure Suit Larry go
Speaker 1: on a cruise. The cruise one that was part two.
Speaker 1: My parents let me get one two and three. I
Speaker 1: don't think our parents knew what they were so we
Speaker 1: were allowed to play it. Well, yeah they didn't. My
Speaker 1: parents weren't clocking what leaders Suit Larry was. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: they weren't paying attention to that ship. Was it inappropriate? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's trying to have sex. Oh, not familiar. And the
Speaker 1: land A lands in Vegas in one and in the
Speaker 1: opening scene in the opening part, if you can make
Speaker 1: it to the prostitute up on the next level with
Speaker 1: the prophylactic, you had to go buy condoms like all
Speaker 1: that shit, Like if you didn't, you died as soon
Speaker 1: as you left, and we had sex. When you had sex,
Speaker 1: it would it would go. It would have a black
Speaker 1: box that said, sense, you're on it, but we would
Speaker 1: move the black box should move like you were, like
Speaker 1: you were. You could probably if you're listening in your
Speaker 1: curious I'm sure you could go on YouTube and finding No,
Speaker 1: you can find you can find a game on your phone.
Speaker 1: I have it on my phone game. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: if people wanted to see who we're talking about, just
Speaker 1: go on YouTube and look up the very first edition
Speaker 1: of leisure Lounge Lizards called leisure Suit Larry in the
Speaker 1: Land of Lounge Lizards. You know, it was crazy, was
Speaker 1: trying to get past the test in the beginning, you know,
Speaker 1: the test that they would give you a test to
Speaker 1: prove you were over eighteen eighteen. That would be crazy.
Speaker 1: So they would ask you questions. Remember I remember it
Speaker 1: was hard. You had and you couldn't like google it
Speaker 1: obviously back in right back in the day, you couldn't
Speaker 1: google it. But they would ask you questions that theoretically
Speaker 1: only an eighteen year old would know. And eighteen year
Speaker 1: old or older, yeah, exactly what is the G spot?
Speaker 1: And you'd be like like that. It was like it
Speaker 1: was like I forgot what it was. But they were
Speaker 1: some of the questions. Some of it was some of
Speaker 1: it was based on how experienced you were, uh sexually
Speaker 1: well not set as a human being though, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, there was no way we can
Speaker 1: answer these questions. I remember having the guests and I
Speaker 1: would guess, and if I got it wrong, I would restart, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then guess. There was only a certain amount of questions,
Speaker 1: so you would just learn what the answers right, right,
Speaker 1: And then eventually you just remember, oh, that's right, this
Speaker 1: one is by one's Roosevelt, that one's Roosevelt. Right. Do
Speaker 1: you even remember that? I do? I forgot it, And
Speaker 1: then I remember I think we spoke about this. Four
Speaker 1: There was a hotline and and because there there's no
Speaker 1: way to like google, uh cheat codes or in, so
Speaker 1: you would call on the phone, and god knows how
Speaker 1: much it was a minute, right, And I would feel
Speaker 1: so guilty because I was like, I was gonna get
Speaker 1: in trouble. My parents are gonna be like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck is this on the phone bill? But I would
Speaker 1: call and you would be like, if you're stuck on
Speaker 1: level three plus three and you press three, if you
Speaker 1: can't figure out how to buy the condoms, press two,
Speaker 1: and I mean just say prophylactics you had to spell
Speaker 1: patic whatever. We couldn't say condoms you had to spell
Speaker 1: pro was And then it was a record. No I'm
Speaker 1: saying on the phone line. It was a recording. And
Speaker 1: then it'd be like, you need to ask the pimp,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh, I didn't try and ask
Speaker 1: the pimp. Hang out, and and that was the clue.
Speaker 1: That's what you got clues. And then your parents would
Speaker 1: get a build for like thirty dollars because you did that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's too funny, all right, Yeah, anyway, j D was
Speaker 1: a mask guy. Well, hold on, we go buy we go,
Speaker 1: buy beer, condoms and a flare gun because because j
Speaker 1: D felt emasculated because he only was going to buy
Speaker 1: one beer and the guy was like, wow, big night,
Speaker 1: and to make up for it, to puff his chest
Speaker 1: out and feel more manly, JD chooses then to buy
Speaker 1: six pack, condoms and a flare gun, which all come
Speaker 1: into play at some point and m and then in
Speaker 1: the in the elevator, well, we don't know in the elevator, Uh,
Speaker 1: we don't know what happens in the bathroom when they
Speaker 1: finished the State Night song. Are you implying that we
Speaker 1: just don't know what the second half of the stake
Speaker 1: ninth song is. We never learned. But bro, when you're
Speaker 1: in the fucking elevator and you're and you're and you're
Speaker 1: pretending to fire flares, and I go, you're good at
Speaker 1: that for you, so um okay, so um. Then I
Speaker 1: then I we tossed Glenna beer and I say I'm
Speaker 1: allergic to barley, and um, You're like, really, is not
Speaker 1: the truth? Yeah, Church says, tell him the truth, and
Speaker 1: I say, I don't like beer. Um, I prefer Apple
Speaker 1: teenys they make me feel fancy. M hmm. The guys
Speaker 1: try to crack George George's hard persona by asking him
Speaker 1: questions and and stuff, and he's just giving them one
Speaker 1: word answers and uh. Then truly they get to football,
Speaker 1: and George responds to football because he was an old
Speaker 1: high school coach, and Turk says, you know, I played
Speaker 1: football in high school. I was the safety. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun doing it. And then he
Speaker 1: asks JD did you play football? And j D says no,
Speaker 1: I was the mascot for a girls volleyball team. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I wore a bandanna and a have shirt and
Speaker 1: then at Away Games, I wore spurs, which doesn't make sense,
Speaker 1: which didn't make sense because we weren't the cowboys. And
Speaker 1: then Glen George, trying to be nice, says, you must
Speaker 1: have felt very What did he say? You said you
Speaker 1: must have felt very beautiful? Oh, very pretty? I said
Speaker 1: I felt beautiful something like that. Um, what about that fantasy?
Speaker 1: What about the fantasy of what they're gonna do with
Speaker 1: me when I die? What you're gonna do with me
Speaker 1: when I die? I'm not there yet. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: there yet. Cougar Town is formed, guys, Yeah, cougar Town
Speaker 1: has formed. Live on the air, they literally talk about
Speaker 1: being Cougars and Mills. And then the very next year,
Speaker 1: the television show cougar Town premiers on ABC. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: that's true. And Bill always regretted the title. It's always
Speaker 1: it always was a thorn in his in his finger?
Speaker 1: Is that the expression in his side? It's on his side?
Speaker 1: Or what's the But I think I think people, you know,
Speaker 1: use a colloquial of like, you're a thorn in my side,
Speaker 1: But thorn in the paw is the legend. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: either your paw or your side. Bill always uh regretted
Speaker 1: calling the show cougar Town. He thought that it hurts
Speaker 1: the show. Um, because the show is better than the title.
Speaker 1: That's what he would say if he was here. So
Speaker 1: we cut to a fantasy of what JD. What's going
Speaker 1: to happen when j D passes away? What the Turks
Speaker 1: are gonna do? Yeah, and we we assume, because Turk
Speaker 1: is holding an urn on his lead from the director
Speaker 1: that they're gonna burn j D and sorry, they're gonna sorry,
Speaker 1: they're gonna cream ate j D down to ashes and
Speaker 1: put him in a urn. Right, And so they're watching
Speaker 1: TV and Turk has the urn on his lap and
Speaker 1: Carlos says it's creeping me out a little bit, and
Speaker 1: you think that she's talking about the urn, but then
Speaker 1: he goes, what that? And we cut to j D
Speaker 1: next to rowdy, stuffed like a dog. Yeah, on all fours,
Speaker 1: on all four, presenting, presenting very very well. I might add,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is that too far? No? I think
Speaker 1: I tried to stay as still as possible, But I
Speaker 1: think in post they really stilled me, because yeah, because
Speaker 1: it would have been impossible to look like attacks of
Speaker 1: dermy human But um, I don't think that's legal, but
Speaker 1: it was funny. I don't. I don't think that's legal either.
Speaker 1: I don't think embalming. Did you notice at the end
Speaker 1: of the show for the first time, instead of like
Speaker 1: an extra scene, they made it. They showed like an
Speaker 1: outtake when you and I were just riffing on on that.
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Yes? I did? Yes, I did,
Speaker 1: And then Bill added, But it was funny. I like
Speaker 1: the idea of instead of doing a little scene, let
Speaker 1: doing bloopers. I don't know if that became Oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know what we did this year, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that was just funny that, Like, it's a cool idea,
Speaker 1: like instead of doing like a quick little seeing on
Speaker 1: the credits, do like a funny blooper. I everybody loves
Speaker 1: a blooper. You know what everybody also loves? What's a
Speaker 1: lesbian cloud? Oh? Yeah, so we're reintroduced to the lesbian clouder.
Speaker 1: This is the second time that JD and Turk's version
Speaker 1: of Heaven is discussed. It starts in a milkshakeh pool, Yes,
Speaker 1: and then after they enjoying the milkshake pool, they go
Speaker 1: over to a lesbian cloud where they could be smarter
Speaker 1: if it was a bisexual female cloud, because if they're
Speaker 1: if they're just they don't want they don't want to partake,
Speaker 1: they just want to watch. Oh oh, I feel like
Speaker 1: the lesbians would have a problem with that. Is that
Speaker 1: their idea? Well, this is our heaven, you speak for
Speaker 1: the queer community, but this is j and Turk and
Speaker 1: Jad's version of heaven. Joell, Okay, we have sil versions
Speaker 1: of heavens. So it's fine. The milkshake cloud is right
Speaker 1: next to the shakedown, right, the milk shake pool is
Speaker 1: right next to the lesbian cloud. Yeah, I get a
Speaker 1: deal here, all right, all right? So um okay, so
Speaker 1: Jed we find out Jad hates edge. Well. Ed has
Speaker 1: got this whole new saying going and it is so recognize.
Speaker 1: JD likes to think he's the most popular one at
Speaker 1: the at the hospital, but Ed is really gaining traction
Speaker 1: with popularity. He trends really fast. I mean what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like trending now Ed whatever Ed says trends. And
Speaker 1: he's come up with a new thing called recognize. When
Speaker 1: you diss somebody and they burn you and they turn
Speaker 1: your disc into a burn, Yes, you must recognize, right,
Speaker 1: and then we see he even got ted doing it.
Speaker 1: Record Nay, Sam Lloyd rested. Man, he did such a
Speaker 1: wonderful job in this episode. Man, Well, I'm glad that
Speaker 1: he lives on through his humor because I gotta I
Speaker 1: have to say that rewatching this, that man makes me
Speaker 1: laugh every week. Yeah, and think of all the people
Speaker 1: that have seen this show and laughed and and and
Speaker 1: so I'm happy that Sam has such a legacy because
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a lot of lines in every episode,
Speaker 1: but every single one of them makes you laugh. I
Speaker 1: was so moved by um by by Glenn's performance when
Speaker 1: when he has those tears in his eyes and he says, well, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll just go I mean, that was just such beautiful
Speaker 1: poetic acting. There's a lot that leads up to that.
Speaker 1: First of all, I'm jumping ahead. I'm sorry, but I no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, you're not jumping ahead. But let's backtrack a
Speaker 1: little bit. We spend most of the episode in this
Speaker 1: one room, this man, and we get to know him.
Speaker 1: Within twenty minutes. We get to know him. We find
Speaker 1: out things about JD and Turk that we didn't know,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, We get we get it
Speaker 1: gets very intimate and by the time it gets too yeah,
Speaker 1: long beard, stinky pants, that's when that's when the emotion
Speaker 1: starts to kick in. But the emotions kick in with
Speaker 1: the comedic start to a story that ends with you
Speaker 1: know JD saying, you know he had he you know,
Speaker 1: explaining how this dude was thought his father was such
Speaker 1: a great person, right, and you will be remembered. So
Speaker 1: you're not just gonna go get everybody's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: somebody out there is gonna remember you. You will have
Speaker 1: impacted someone somewhere, you know what I mean. And that's
Speaker 1: when you know what I mean. So then he asks
Speaker 1: the question, well, how's it going to happen, and then
Speaker 1: they explain it to him, Well, this is gonna You're
Speaker 1: probably gonna get tired, You're probably you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Your oregans will start to fail. And he's like, well
Speaker 1: I feel pain, and I'm like, no, we'll manage any
Speaker 1: pain you have come in your way, and then you'll
Speaker 1: just go. And so when he says so I'll just go, Nah,
Speaker 1: all of the stuff that came before that, all to
Speaker 1: build up from that scene. Oh, it's earned, man, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And he that that moment. That's
Speaker 1: why it's so, That's why it's so powerful. All of
Speaker 1: the stuff that we did in the beginning of this.
Speaker 1: You know, you say, it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a testament to Bill's writing to do it all
Speaker 1: in twenty two minutes. But they did it in twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes. We've gotten to the point where I'm fucking
Speaker 1: balling on my couch watching this scene later this many
Speaker 1: years later. Yeah, you know what I mean. And it
Speaker 1: opened up so many fucking things for me, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, just about life and things that I've
Speaker 1: gone through since then, you know what I mean. And so,
Speaker 1: and it all starts with long beard stinky pants. That's
Speaker 1: the crazy thing. Well, that's the genius of Bill's writing
Speaker 1: and obviously has seen Batra and the whole team. But um,
Speaker 1: you know with JD's even JD's ramp into everything you
Speaker 1: just said is a very is a story about about
Speaker 1: his his dad. Um. But it's but it's got silly
Speaker 1: stuff in it, you know what you're saying, with the
Speaker 1: stinky pants and everything, but it's also so moving because
Speaker 1: it's a story about what a good man his father was. Um.
Speaker 1: It's just just really great writing. And then of course, um,
Speaker 1: the performance. I mean, uh, I think you and I
Speaker 1: are good, but but Glenn is just fucking next level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's just so it's just so um, it's so
Speaker 1: moving and and it's so real. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: the show's a comedy, but it's really genuinely seeing a
Speaker 1: wonderful actor get you into the zone of facing mortality
Speaker 1: and how how is it going to feel when I
Speaker 1: take my last breath? Um? And that's when it gets
Speaker 1: really you know, when he's like, then they we go
Speaker 1: into the montage and all of that stuff and their community,
Speaker 1: you know, they're having great conversations and you know, laughing
Speaker 1: and everything like that, and then he says, I'm getting
Speaker 1: tired well, and they also don't forget in there. There's
Speaker 1: also a moment that JD says, um, I think it
Speaker 1: would be great if the if, the if your last
Speaker 1: memory is a good one, right, if the very last
Speaker 1: thing that you think of is is is something good?
Speaker 1: And he's laughing, and he's he's laughing right before he
Speaker 1: says to us, you know, guys, you know, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a little tired. And he and he asks the question,
Speaker 1: you know, oh, take a nap, take restaurant, man, That's
Speaker 1: what they say. And he's like, we will you be
Speaker 1: here when I wake up? And they say yes, hm,
Speaker 1: knowing that he's probably not going to wake up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was beautifully done. And then it cuts to the
Speaker 1: roof of the hospital where we're sitting in lawn chairs
Speaker 1: and turrets drinking a beer, and and then JD fires
Speaker 1: a flair and from the flare gun they bought into
Speaker 1: the sky in George's honor. Yeah. Really good, such a
Speaker 1: great episode, really really good. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: All the fields, man, I'm getting the fields now. Yes. So,
Speaker 1: so here's some trivia I found on Scrubs. Wicky Neil Flynn,
Speaker 1: Ken Jenkins, Sarah Chalk, and John c mcginny do not
Speaker 1: appear in this episode. No, Elliott, Cox, Kelso or Jenks
Speaker 1: says this is Scrubs will get off. It's true, but
Speaker 1: it says an alleged sipulation for Scrubs being picked up
Speaker 1: for season eight on ABC was the show needed to
Speaker 1: cut costs, so every main actor is absent for three episodes,
Speaker 1: except Zach Braff and Sarah Chalk, who only missed two episodes,
Speaker 1: you missed three episodes. I did. I remember this? This
Speaker 1: was I remember when this happened. A lot of things
Speaker 1: happened this year. A lot of our pay went down
Speaker 1: and everything because of the hiatus that we had in between.
Speaker 1: I remember I was making way more money before we
Speaker 1: moved to ABC, and then when NA happened, things changed,
Speaker 1: and I remember, I remember that. I remember, I remember
Speaker 1: the show not having enough money to pay everybody for
Speaker 1: a certain amount of episodes. This is when catering changed.
Speaker 1: Remember we didn't have do you remember this. Remember we
Speaker 1: used to have the truck and we would eat lunch
Speaker 1: outside and everything like that. Then it became a walk
Speaker 1: away after that. I remember that. I remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this was. This was the beginning of the end.
Speaker 1: Even though this was even even though this is one
Speaker 1: of the best seasons, Yeah, so far, this was the
Speaker 1: beginning of the end. It says a writer received bacher
Speaker 1: Want a Humanitas Prize for this episode, which is a
Speaker 1: very um esteemed writing award. In the episode Stop Dragging
Speaker 1: My Heart Around of Bill Lawrence's show Cougar Town, this
Speaker 1: episode is running on a TV screen in the background,
Speaker 1: so it's clear Bill was proud of this too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Carla only appears in the fantasy about Stuffed jd Um.
Speaker 1: Turk and j D's plans for their first day in
Speaker 1: heaven echoes their plans from the episode My Way Home.
Speaker 1: When Turk and JD are talking to their patient, George
Speaker 1: Tchurk brings up the fact that he played football and
Speaker 1: that he played the position of safety. And the movie
Speaker 1: Remember the Titans. Donald Fazon plays the running back Pete
Speaker 1: Jones who gets moved to tight end. I don't think
Speaker 1: gives me safety. I did, he gets moved to linebacker. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you should probably know that he gets no. So I'm
Speaker 1: telling you what does the safety do. It's like it's
Speaker 1: the dude that stops the wide receivers from catching passes.
Speaker 1: You love a wide receiver. I love anyone next receive
Speaker 1: something wide? Oh, we love. We love receiving wide things.
Speaker 1: Your favorite thing is receiving wide things. I do. I
Speaker 1: do love receiving Why I I like it when it's
Speaker 1: so wide that it doesn't fit through the door. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't even receive it. You love it when you
Speaker 1: can't even fully receive it. I love it when it
Speaker 1: doesn't fit. Um, all right, Okay, on that note, all right,
Speaker 1: we're talking about packages, right, what a great episode. We're
Speaker 1: talking about wide packages pages. Okay, just making sure sure
Speaker 1: we're talking about wide, big packages. And we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to break and we come back. We are going to
Speaker 1: have a performance review for our Super Bowl commercial to
Speaker 1: see how we did. We're gonna check in and and
Speaker 1: make make sure we made the people that hired as happy.
Speaker 1: Donald and I want to hear if it was as
Speaker 1: big as it was in our minds, We'll be right back. So,
Speaker 1: uh listen, we wanted to, uh, you know how some
Speaker 1: jobs you can have like a a performance review. I
Speaker 1: had a job. I've never had a job like this.
Speaker 1: Do you have this at I heeart a performance review?
Speaker 1: Actually don't, but I have had. All other jobs are
Speaker 1: jobs where you get a performance review. So we wanted
Speaker 1: to invite Brian Klugman, who you guys remember is our friend.
Speaker 1: He wrote that beautiful children's book. He's also we call
Speaker 1: him the Don draper of of of the whole T
Speaker 1: mobile campaign because he's the creative who Kim comes up
Speaker 1: with all the ideas. He came up with the grease idea,
Speaker 1: he came up with the one with Bradley Cooper. We
Speaker 1: wanted to have Brian back on and some folks from
Speaker 1: T Mobile to say, Donald and I wanted a performance review.
Speaker 1: How did we do. Let's let's assess how our heart
Speaker 1: commercial went over? Yes, let us assess this. We're needy.
Speaker 1: We're needy mofos, and we want to know if we
Speaker 1: did we did well by them, and we know you
Speaker 1: guys want to know how well we did. Also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we think we did well. We got we know. Lets
Speaker 1: just let's just get a performance review. Let's some guide in. Um,
Speaker 1: Brian and the folks from T Mobile here they come,
Speaker 1: here they come. I'm gonna get my thunderous applause button ready,
Speaker 1: what's up, guys? Brian Klugman, you handsome mofo. You know
Speaker 1: you do get handsomer and handsomer every time. And also
Speaker 1: those glasses, Donald, you could Brian is wearing hipster, very
Speaker 1: hipster glasses. Audience. I could not pull those off. Donald,
Speaker 1: I think maybe you could. I've never I've looked at
Speaker 1: this thunders. We are so blessed to have our friends
Speaker 1: from T Mobile and Brian Klugman here. Uh, guys, we
Speaker 1: decided we wanted Donald and I are very needy and
Speaker 1: we wanted to have a performance review where you could
Speaker 1: tell us, you know, as as employees, of how we
Speaker 1: did did everything go overwhel We were just wondering because
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from you since the shoot, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, are are you happy? Yes? Did you want
Speaker 1: the critical feedback first or the constructive feedback or the
Speaker 1: good no? No, no, don't do anything critical that we
Speaker 1: will will spiral out. We're very neurotic. Um. Wow, what
Speaker 1: an amazing year again, you know, I think personally and
Speaker 1: I think the the stats back this up. This was
Speaker 1: the number one Super Bowl commercial of the year. Really,
Speaker 1: it's literally the most viewed piece of content that T
Speaker 1: Mobile has ever created. And I think, you know, when
Speaker 1: when Peter and I look at these things, there's kind
Speaker 1: of two main things that we look at. One is
Speaker 1: do people remember the company and the brand that advertised
Speaker 1: And this spot in one of the main surveys that
Speaker 1: we looked at, was not only in the top five,
Speaker 1: it was number one number one spot and brand. And
Speaker 1: then the second big thing that we look at, which
Speaker 1: you guys like knocked it off the charts for us
Speaker 1: last year because remember we had you know, the spot
Speaker 1: last year like this one talked about our broadband business
Speaker 1: and we had we were the fastest growing broadband company
Speaker 1: in America. After that spot last year, we looked directly
Speaker 1: at the business results and we saw all of our
Speaker 1: business metrics. I can't get to the specifics on those yet,
Speaker 1: but all of our business metrics off the charts after
Speaker 1: that spot ran. So we are really excited about how
Speaker 1: it went. Wow, it's so feel too. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: want to introduce you guys. Sorry, this is Peter de
Speaker 1: Luca and Mike Kats from T Mobile. And I mentioned, um,
Speaker 1: the if Don Draper were more handsome, it would be
Speaker 1: Brian Klugman more handsome and more of Jewish. Yeah, jis
Speaker 1: the Jewish Don Draper. Um, Mike. That's so great to hear,
Speaker 1: because you know, Donal and I our only metric was
Speaker 1: um was the views on YouTube. Well that and then
Speaker 1: and then a comment in our Instagram, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like comments like well, I guess I'm switching that.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear that. But you know the thing
Speaker 1: about the spot is you brought great joy to a
Speaker 1: lot of folks watching the Super Bowl this year. I
Speaker 1: mean it was just so engaging and so fun and
Speaker 1: reading all the comments, I would have to say, you
Speaker 1: saw a lot of love from your fans out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. The world is full of haters, right, we
Speaker 1: know that, and especially on the internet, everyone is faceless
Speaker 1: in control. But there was just such singularity in the
Speaker 1: amount of love for this, and I think you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys break me if I'm wrong. I
Speaker 1: think we made it with that kind of joy and love.
Speaker 1: I mean that was a pretty magical set to be
Speaker 1: a part of. Yeah. Yes, well since stay one, and
Speaker 1: also the Bradley Cooper spot was huge. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: just gonna say, what a great campaign, what a great
Speaker 1: super Bowl campaign, you know what I mean? Bradley Cooper
Speaker 1: like that did astronomical numbers on YouTube as well, not
Speaker 1: only during the Super Bowl, at the day after the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Can you tell us about that? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: we were so proud of both of those spots, and
Speaker 1: I think, like Peter said, like, um, they did all
Speaker 1: the things that great advertising should do. They sucked you in,
Speaker 1: They were fun and entertaining to watch, They felt unique,
Speaker 1: They didn't feel like anything else that ran on the
Speaker 1: super Bowl that day. And when you when you left
Speaker 1: watching the spot, you knew exactly what company was from
Speaker 1: and what they were talking for, and and so so
Speaker 1: many ads I think get that wrong, and these ones
Speaker 1: were like awesome at getting it, this this one and
Speaker 1: the one with Bradley Cooper. I will say to these
Speaker 1: guys on the phone, who who literally made the spot possible? Uh,
Speaker 1: Mike and Peter, who, like, you know, at the corporate level,
Speaker 1: you don't always get partnerships of people who see creativity
Speaker 1: in this way and are willing to fight for that creativity.
Speaker 1: I think when we first showed the concept of you
Speaker 1: guys just singing to Peter, he said, let's go produce
Speaker 1: that right this second, regardless of what anyone didn't even
Speaker 1: let him see it. Yeah. I wanted to ask you, Brian,
Speaker 1: because this is just I think this will be interesting
Speaker 1: for our audience, you know, for people out there who
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I'm assuming the average person doesn't
Speaker 1: know how a commercial gets chosen or selected by a
Speaker 1: big company like this. So can you just explain a
Speaker 1: little bit like how does the how does the process work?
Speaker 1: And also, you know, for you guys, how many concepts
Speaker 1: do you look at? Like how does just give us
Speaker 1: a little layman's version of how the process works of
Speaker 1: picking a Super Bowl commercial. Well, I can give it
Speaker 1: from our side, even though we're all on the same side.
Speaker 1: But I mean like I can take it so far
Speaker 1: until uh, Peter and Mike step in. Um. But you know,
Speaker 1: Andrew Pinney and I as you know, pay is uh
Speaker 1: my partner and you know it's Pinna Films as the
Speaker 1: company we work under, and we get together sometimes we
Speaker 1: bring another creative people and we just kind of talk
Speaker 1: about we get what these guys kind of tell us
Speaker 1: what we want a message. We knew we wanted to
Speaker 1: message home internet right the mobile home internet. So we
Speaker 1: start talking about ways that we can do it now.
Speaker 1: We did it last year with you guys, so the
Speaker 1: question was like, how do we do we do it again?
Speaker 1: Is that boring? The super Bowl has to be a surprise,
Speaker 1: It has to be an impactful, impactful So we knew
Speaker 1: we wanted to raise the bar. We had to have
Speaker 1: a surprise. Zach, You and I actually talked about Greece
Speaker 1: for offline, you know, beforehand, and then we started thinking, well,
Speaker 1: as you do, Grease, what if the surprise is a
Speaker 1: new neighbor moves into the neighborhood and it's John Travolta.
Speaker 1: So we started, we wrote the lyrics. You guys came
Speaker 1: in and recorded some song, recorded it for us. And
Speaker 1: then this in addition to about you know, six other
Speaker 1: seven other things, we took to these guys and showed
Speaker 1: them a approach to all of them and this obviously
Speaker 1: was one they just gravitated to and a lot. You know.
Speaker 1: It's one more thing I'll say is between this and
Speaker 1: the Bradley Spot, like they're kind of disparate, they're different,
Speaker 1: they're very different. But I think what's really uniting Tembile
Speaker 1: and what these guys were responding to on this college
Speaker 1: they were united by joy. They both had this like
Speaker 1: joyous factor and so we took it to them and
Speaker 1: then Peter Mike, I'll let you guys take it from
Speaker 1: there because that's where it kind of hands off to
Speaker 1: you guys. Well you know, you know, and Brian's right,
Speaker 1: like they bring they brought six or seven different ideas
Speaker 1: to the table, and like literally when I saw the
Speaker 1: idea about redoing Grease, like I literally was like, Brian,
Speaker 1: we got to just get this in pre production. We're
Speaker 1: going to sell it through because it's going to be
Speaker 1: a super Bowl spot. You could just feel it from
Speaker 1: the moment of watching the little trailer you did in
Speaker 1: performing the song for us, and that when you did that,
Speaker 1: it was just we knew, we knew we had a
Speaker 1: hit even before we ever set out to Actually we're
Speaker 1: recording the spot, so it's kind of exciting. And then
Speaker 1: you have to weed through ideas because the core thing
Speaker 1: about it is Super Bowl is well it's a place
Speaker 1: for big brands to show up. We still have to
Speaker 1: get core messages out there. And you know, you've established
Speaker 1: a franchise with us, you know him last year of
Speaker 1: our little cul de Sac neighborhood, and what better way
Speaker 1: to go back and you know, really elevate the idea
Speaker 1: is to bring in a new neighbor Like it was
Speaker 1: just it was just a solid concept. Did you guys
Speaker 1: think that it would I mean, did you have any
Speaker 1: idea that it would be this successful? I mean I
Speaker 1: certainly didn't. I mean, I hoped we wanted to deliver
Speaker 1: for you guys again. But when Brian called me and
Speaker 1: told me what a hit it was, Donald and I
Speaker 1: were just thrilled, and I wondered if you guys had
Speaker 1: any And I know you trust Brian because because he's
Speaker 1: really great at what he does. But did you have
Speaker 1: any clue that it would be this much of a success. Um.
Speaker 1: I mean when we saw it, we knew it was great. Um,
Speaker 1: so we we we loved it, and I think I think, honestly,
Speaker 1: what was surprising to us. We knew that we knew
Speaker 1: the ad was great. But last year when we ran
Speaker 1: that spot, literally, like I said at the beginning, um,
Speaker 1: not not very often in advertising do you see an
Speaker 1: immediate response to when you when you put a message
Speaker 1: out on TV, especially nowadays, like a lot of times
Speaker 1: there's a delay and people need to see these things
Speaker 1: a few times where they take an action. We literally
Speaker 1: saw from the Super Bowl last year when we did
Speaker 1: when we did that commercial, through the end of the year,
Speaker 1: an immediate spike in this broadband business and one that
Speaker 1: was so significant that literally we did more broadband connections
Speaker 1: last year than every other broadband kind of company in
Speaker 1: America combined. So it was it was kind of it
Speaker 1: was kind of mind blowing, and honestly, that was that
Speaker 1: was a big reason why we were excited, because I mean,
Speaker 1: it's shot up. It was crazy, you know, like it
Speaker 1: was like you guys aired last year, and the sales
Speaker 1: literally instantly. I mean it wasn't like, oh, six months later.
Speaker 1: It was like an instant reaction. That's very rare in marketing,
Speaker 1: and and it was a real testament also, like I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys haven't been together in it hadn't been together
Speaker 1: in like a public form in that way. I think
Speaker 1: in a like a while other than America's Favorite podcast,
Speaker 1: Brian think Doctor's Real Friends that that we're on right now.
Speaker 1: Obviously that I mean I realized, I don't don't look
Speaker 1: at the charts. We are America's fair podcast, right. You
Speaker 1: don't need to look at the charts to know that either.
Speaker 1: I just don't look well. When they saw you together
Speaker 1: as all I'm saying no visually Brian, yes, visually visual
Speaker 1: and in a visual medium. Uh, they were. It was
Speaker 1: just incredible. Man. I mean, people just love you guys,
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean John has called so many times
Speaker 1: and like, I love those guys. I want to work
Speaker 1: with those guys, Like I know, this so fun. We
Speaker 1: did an interview with Variety where John was like on
Speaker 1: the call and he said to the Variety reporter, he goes,
Speaker 1: I really think the three of us should make like
Speaker 1: a real musical, and he said, I said to the journalists,
Speaker 1: the go sir, can that please be the headline of
Speaker 1: your Just throw out a quick pitch while we're while
Speaker 1: we're on T Mobile the musical. You know what, hold on, Klugman,
Speaker 1: you might be onto something. Because I was going to
Speaker 1: ask that is does does can T Mobile make movies?
Speaker 1: Does it work like that? Can that happen? Anything can
Speaker 1: happen this day in this Dnah child, there's all sorts
Speaker 1: of frontiers. You were working the right people, Peter, Mike
Speaker 1: Mobile make movies, Brian, bring us, bring us a script treatment.
Speaker 1: We should make a short by the way, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean I directed a short um Sorry to Live
Speaker 1: pitch on the air, but I directed a short film
Speaker 1: for Adobe and it was really awesome. We made this
Speaker 1: really amazing short and it was just kind of like
Speaker 1: Adobe Presents and then it was you know, the branding
Speaker 1: wasn't obvious. It was there. People knew Adobe made it.
Speaker 1: But we could do We should do something like that,
Speaker 1: like just like a T Mobile short film, like you know,
Speaker 1: like me and Donald on some adventure. Hey, Mike, I
Speaker 1: have a question for you, because the timing of the
Speaker 1: spot could not have been more ideal. I don't normally
Speaker 1: watch the game, to be honest, I'm not a big
Speaker 1: sports guy. But I was fully watching this game. And
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm told by people who love football
Speaker 1: that it was an incredible game because I was on
Speaker 1: the edge of my seat. But when when you pick
Speaker 1: a spot, do you pick a spot? Do they give
Speaker 1: you a spot or how or is it just a
Speaker 1: roll of the dice. Did we ended up in that placement? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: we picked the spot and we were really good. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got lucky, lucky. There were so many things that
Speaker 1: just really helped us. It was a great matchup the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That was the best ratings of the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: like in six years, and it was like the third
Speaker 1: most watched super Bowl ever, so you had a huge audience.
Speaker 1: And then the freaking game was tied at the two
Speaker 1: minute warning, so everybody was still watching. So it's a
Speaker 1: risky spot. It's a very good bye and a blowout
Speaker 1: that spot. That spot nothing right. Yeah, but we purposely
Speaker 1: when we went in because we were like analyzing all
Speaker 1: the playoff games going into the Super Bowl, and when
Speaker 1: we had to select and finally get the position, We're
Speaker 1: like we believed there was going to be a good
Speaker 1: game going in, which is why we said, you know what,
Speaker 1: roll the dice, take the position, and then the game
Speaker 1: just totally came in, which I was about to say,
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, the last time I saw you guys,
Speaker 1: other than that the commercial was in Vegas. Did you
Speaker 1: do Yeah? Well, I mean, obviously if you need betting tips,
Speaker 1: I go all in, man and we and I think
Speaker 1: we won. Story Donald Donald texted me. Donald was, you know,
Speaker 1: redoing his house a new house, so he didn't want
Speaker 1: to bet any money. And he texts me He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet at all. Um, Uh, you
Speaker 1: know I'm putting too much money into this house. I go, dude,
Speaker 1: you're in Vegas. Play with a couple thousand dollars, have
Speaker 1: fun and uh and he goes, you're right instantaneously, like
Speaker 1: to Mississippi. Later, I get a text from his wife.
Speaker 1: She goes, what are you doing? I go, what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? I go, he's alone in Vegas. Then
Speaker 1: him gamble. She goes from there, goes my new stove.
Speaker 1: Can we can we just nerd out for a second
Speaker 1: on what it was like and how awesome it was
Speaker 1: to make a commercial with John Travolta singing Greece dude
Speaker 1: Ye was that? I told Donald, give him just chill out,
Speaker 1: don't get it all up in his face right away
Speaker 1: about anything about you know, questions anecdotes. Donald's like, you're right,
Speaker 1: we'll be cool. We'll be cool. Three seconds later I
Speaker 1: look over Donald's like, my favorite part about face off
Speaker 1: when I asked him everything and he answered everything to
Speaker 1: very generous man. But um, you know, it's a dream
Speaker 1: come true to work with someone like John Travolta. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I didn't think it would
Speaker 1: come through advertising, you know. I thought maybe it would
Speaker 1: be through a movie or something like that. But this
Speaker 1: is probably one of the most unique experiences and awesome
Speaker 1: experiences ever because of how the response, you know, the
Speaker 1: response I get from my family, the response I get
Speaker 1: from friends. You know, I'm doing a sitcom right now.
Speaker 1: And I went into the writer's room and the writers
Speaker 1: at the day after the Super Bowl, and that's all
Speaker 1: they wanted to talk about with me was the commercial
Speaker 1: and what it was like to work with John Travolta.
Speaker 1: And I was like, shit, you know, I knew, I mean,
Speaker 1: we can curse. This is my podcast I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: curt but anyway, Um, I was like, you know, shit,
Speaker 1: johnshra Volta is That's I knew he was a big
Speaker 1: deal because I was a big fan. But the fact
Speaker 1: that the question what was it? Like, you know what what?
Speaker 1: What did he look you into? Eyes? Like everything? Like
Speaker 1: I was like, we talk about longevity. I mean I
Speaker 1: used to watch fucking Welcome Back Carter, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: look at this man's career and how epic it is.
Speaker 1: And then there's been so many chapters and then the
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino with pulp fiction, just like a whole new, constant,
Speaker 1: constant reinventions. And and I would saying to John the
Speaker 1: other day, I was like, I think I think this
Speaker 1: is like people forget how like you know, he's played
Speaker 1: so many bad, tough guys and all that stuff as
Speaker 1: of late, and like he's the I mean so charming
Speaker 1: in this commercial and his smile and seeing him be
Speaker 1: playful and fun, it's it's like this is a great
Speaker 1: and he goes that's closest to who I am and
Speaker 1: the stuff I like to do the most. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: loved it. He was having so much fun. Donald and I,
Speaker 1: you know, we both love musicals. Everyone listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast knows how much Donald and I love singing dancing musicals,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I went. I literally went to
