But I always liked calling you shoon because
0:02
I feel about nicknames when
0:04
I love someone that, oh I'm
0:06
on the inside, I have the inside
0:08
scoop. If you love him and you're in, you're
0:11
in. If you're in the cool kids group,
0:13
you get to call him shoon. Right, But
0:16
you created your own nickname, and all of a
0:18
sudden I became Chocolate Bear, Sea
0:21
Bear Sea Bear. Does anyone else
0:23
from Bear? Does anyone else from Scrubs
0:26
ever call you shoon? Did
0:28
anyone else? Yeah? Bill does? Bill
0:30
Lawrence calls your shoon? Yeah. I
0:32
can't picture Sarah ever saying shoon? No,
0:35
but Bill, Bill, to this day still does
0:37
well. You know, you and Bill probably have spent more
0:40
time with my family than anyone else in the cast,
0:42
you know what I mean. And I remember when you, you and your
0:44
brothers set up a little sound studio in your house
0:46
once and you called it audio.
0:49
What did you call it? Audio? Shoot? Audio shoon? Audio
0:51

0:58
would be awesome audio shoon. Anyway

a bunch of docs and nurses and stories.
1:19
So get around you here, yeat
1:22
around you here.
1:29
You know we're getting a lot of love on our theme song. And
1:31
oh, before we forget, would you mind
1:34
just laying down the MMM because
1:37
we never got it and I think the song
1:39
at the very end should have you doing
1:41
that. So well, we gotta get the key
1:43
and all of that stuff and could do
1:45
a temporary one and Dan will lay
1:47
it on for us. M. Yeah,
1:51
all right, it's gonna be out of key. It might be out of key,
1:53

1:55
the hum No, So
1:58
Dan, now I want you, but I want you to do in the editor replay
2:00
the theme song now with the addition of Donald's
2:05
here's some stories about
2:08
show. We made about
2:11
a bunch of nurses, said,
2:15
he's the stories,
2:20
So getta around you here are yato
2:23
around here? Donald.
2:30
This is a very special episode of Scrubs because
2:32
it has so much in it, and it has
2:35
your favorite thing in the world, which is go
2:37
ahead, Star Wars. Holy shit, I
2:39
got so excited about two things go one
2:42
when I realized it was the aspin episode
2:44
so much I jumped for joy so much
2:46
in this episode. The ass box, right,
2:49
the ass box, the things that people have actually
2:51
stuck up there. But you know you
2:53
might think that those were fake.
2:56
Well, some of them were fake. But the
2:58
problem with the light bulb when you stick it up your
3:00
butt is you'll never get it out without breaking
3:02
the light bulb. No, that's a different episode, by the way,
3:04
when when the light bulb is up someone's ass and
3:06
Johnny C says, either
3:09
this guy has a light bulb of his ass or
3:11
his colon has a great idea. I
3:13
thought that was this episode, but it's actually a different
3:16
episode. We went back to that room. That
3:18
joke could be used again. But I want
3:20
you the audience to know that this
3:22
is a real thing. We learned when we were making
3:24
this that hospitals have collections
3:28
of things they've pulled out of people who
3:31
stick stuff in their assholes. Right,
3:34
yeah, ass box is a real
3:36
thing, and ask box is a real thing. Unfortunately
3:39
it's sacred heart. There's no lost and found,
3:41
but there's an ass box. There's
3:45
something funny about the word ass when you attach
3:47
it to anything. You laughed. I laughed every time someone
3:49
said as box. I laughed when I think it was Judy said
3:51
ass pen right. Not only
3:53
that I laughed when people call other people
3:55
ass face. I think I
3:58
laughed every time someone says ass head or ass
4:00
face, asshole, that those
4:02
are funny words. Yeah, ass next to anything.
4:06
I'm wearing these big rain boots today, Donald,
4:08
I want to show you. Let me see what
4:10
are you doing? Are you gardening? Well it's it's pissing
4:12
rain in Los Angeles. And you are
4:15
British now, well yeah, and the British
4:17
is wearing off on me. I I should say the British
4:19
is contagious because I'm wearing like my big
4:21
gardening boots. And
4:24
we have a should be like Peter in a Peter
4:26
Rabbit movie. We have a puppy, so I
4:28
have to be out in the rain trying
4:31
to potty train a puppy and these are my puppy
4:33
training rain boots. All right, let's
4:35
get into this episode. Now, wait before we do. When
4:38
I was on the phone with you and Casey, and
4:41
I'm sorry to the audience. I know I told you that I
4:43
was going to refrain from talking to Donald
4:45
because I wanted to save all our contact
4:47
for the podcast. But
4:50
Casey was chiming in on the speaker
4:52
phone on your cell phone, and she said that you
4:54
are not even letting the children walk
4:56
around the block. Donald, I think you got to air those
4:58
kids out. You know, we go on walks
5:00
every now and then, like yeah, but like once a week.
5:03
That's not enough. I think as long
5:05
as you I mean, I'm not a parent, and I
5:07
understand why you would be terrified. But I
5:09
think I know, bro, I
5:12
think if you're nowhere near anyone, you
5:14
can have the kids go around the block. I think that's
5:16
you're allowed to do that. You got to air them out, right.
5:19
Unfortunately, it's been raining, so I haven't been
5:21
able to do that. I hear that message loud and
5:23
clear. Listen, I am kids have Kevin fever
5:25
for sure. I am in no position to give parenting
5:28
advice, but I am I am the godfather
5:31
of these children, and as godfather, I
5:33
would like them to walk around the block once
5:35
a fucking week. Wow. Okay,
5:37
okay, yes, write that down
5:39
notes. Listen,
5:42
they're my kids. I love the case. He was in the background
5:44
like he won't even let him walk around the block. All
5:50
right, should you get in the episode. I've been
5:52
trying to do that for a lot. You know, but you know
5:54
there is a we do have a catch up phase. Donald.
5:56
The section one is Zach
5:58
and Donald ketch up up and you're rushing
6:01
just because you're so excited about Star Wars. You're
6:03
excited about Star Wars. I'm excited about
6:05
the Aspen. I'm excited about
6:07
the title of the show, My two
6:10
Dads. I love that Craig Zisk
6:12
directed this episode.
6:14
Is a very fine, fine TV director
6:16
and this was his first episode for us, and also written
6:18
by a writing team Garret Nan
6:21
and Neil Goldman, two of our our
6:23
favorite writers. Some writers work
6:25
in the writer's room as an individual, and
6:27
some writers are writing teams,
6:30
and this is the first. I think this
6:32
is the only am I correct all
6:34
this was the only writing team season one, I
6:37
believe so. But also
6:39
not just that. They went on to do other
6:42
things. They came from Family Guy, then
6:44
they started, Then they
6:46
did Scrubs, they went onto Community. Yes,
6:49
they ran your Community and
6:51
then went on to do other projects after that.
6:54
Like these guys started. These guys started.
6:56
I would I would love to say humble beginnings, but
6:58
wow, they started with Family Guy and then went
7:01
right into Scrubs and then after
7:03
that Community. That's a string of hits to work on. I would
7:05
they were very funny, and they are very funny, and
7:07
they were very different. I always thought it was interesting
7:09
that they were partners because they were the two
7:11
of them were just such different people.
7:14
Yeah, but wrote such funny scripts.
7:16
Yeah, they were the perfect partnership. This
7:18
episode is jam packed and has more
7:20
fantasies than a lot of episodes.
7:23
Speaking of that, I used to get
7:26
and I don't think I ever told you this, but I
7:28
used to get jealous. And it all comes to a
7:30
head at the end of this episode.
7:32
But you used to do some of the coolest
7:34
fantasies throughout the show,
7:37
you know what I mean. And this was the first
7:39
time where a fantasy came up.
7:41
And I ran up on Bill and I was like, Bill, you gotta
7:43
put me in this fucking fantasy. Man, you got you
7:46
gotta put me in this fantasy. It's Star Wars, dude,
7:48
And I don't know if you know this, but I love Star
7:50
Wars. He's like, well, who would you be? And I was
7:52
like, just make me Han solo, Just make
7:54
me Han solo. And I'm there and it happens,
7:57
and he was like all right, yeah, fine.
8:00
Not only did you weren't originally in it. No,
8:02
it was just you, and it
8:04
was just JD. Cox and Kelso okay,
8:07
and I'm sure that Bill was like and then Bill was probably
8:09
like, oh, we gotta add the others if we're gonna add
8:11
yeah, we gotta. If we add Donald, we gotta add everybody
8:14
else, which created a great joke,
8:16
you know what I mean, for the z Chewy and then
8:18
fucking the Janet Her. For those of
8:20
you who don't know this, and I'm guessing you're getting
8:22
a sense, Donald Phaison is
8:24
the biggest Star Wars fan that I
8:27
have ever met in my life. And
8:29
Harry Brothers too. No, you're by
8:31
far the most. And now you voice a character
8:34
on What Tell Everyone on Star
8:36
Wars Resistance Hype Phase on. The character
8:38
was named after me. Dave
8:40
Filoni named the character after me. That's
8:43
a big deal, Donald, Not
8:45
only for you all, but Donald Hobby
8:48
is stop motion animation and with
8:51
legos, he has made several
8:54
Star Wars animated
8:56
lego films that you can check out on YouTube,
8:58
and they're called Black storm Trooper. Right.
9:01
So I realized how
9:03
my stop motion, How
9:06
I got into stop motion, and it was because of Star
9:08
Wars I always thought that it was the adapts
9:11
and the Empire strikes back when they're attacking
9:13
the Rebel based on the planet Hath. But
9:15
it turns out there was a video
9:18
that came out around the same time
9:20
Return of the Jedi came out called Star Wars
9:23
from Star Wars to Jedi, and
9:25
it was like the behind the scenes and
9:28
all the special effects that went
9:32
into making Star Wars, and like
9:35
the documentary is about an hour
9:37
and a half, thirty minutes
9:39
of the documentary is all based
9:42
on is all dedicated to stop motion animation.
9:45
And I watched this as a kid, and I had
9:47
it on video as a kid, and it wasn't until
9:50
like the behind the scenes specials
9:52
that came out with it and with that
9:55
from Star Wars to Jedi was
9:58
in that package. And I realized then
10:00
and there after watching it, and I
10:02
was like, this was the this was the this was
10:04
the plug and um and you
10:07
combined your love of Star Wars
10:09
with your love of stop motion animation. Now you're
10:11
not gonna say this because it would be too controversial,
10:14
but I'm going to say that when J.
10:16
J. Abrams made the new movie
10:18
and there was a black Stormtrooper, I
10:21
went come on, buddy, somebody
10:24
saw Donald's lego movies.
10:26
I'm gonna getta lean back
10:29
in your chair and don't say a word. I'm
10:31
saying as a fan of your stop
10:33
motion movies, the hero
10:35
of which was the first Black Stormtrooper,
10:38
and then the zillion dollar movie comes out.
10:41
I said to myself, come on, buddy,
10:44
don't speak. Don't speak. I
10:46
don't want to get you in trouble with all your your Star
10:48
Wars of Friends. What's
10:51
his name? The guy with the cowboy had is the super Superstar
10:53
Wars. Dave Felony. That's
10:55
the man right there. I want to be on the You
10:57
know George Lucas. George Lucas pretty
10:59
much gave him the keys
11:01
to the Corvette. Man. Yeah,
11:04
man, he's the keeper of He's the keeper
11:06
of the lore, right and when
11:08
they go and do other things, he's involved
11:10
in stuff like that. But you know, his
11:13
his stuff like the Clone Wars Rebels.
11:15
Is he involved the Mandalorian. He is
11:17
the executive producer of The Mandalorian. I really
11:19
like when he's involved, when they have him
11:22
involved, I'm telling you, man, it's
11:24
really really good stuff. I I you
11:26
know, Dave Feloni should
11:29
be if you ask me, You
11:31
know, he should be always asked,
11:34
well what do you think of this? Dave? And let him?
11:36
I think he is right. Isn't he the keeper of the lore?
11:38
If you will? I don't know if that's always
11:41
the way it goes. I don't know how they gotta say.
11:43
I'm not the biggest, as big as Star Wars, geek as you,
11:45
but I really am enjoying the Mandalorian
11:47
and it's great. I know. Baby Yoda is
11:49
like the biggest marketing cash
11:52
grab merchandise and cash grab
11:54
has ever been done. But I want one.
11:56
I want a baby Yoda. Who doesn't want a baby?
11:59
I want a baby Yoda. I want to real life Viviota.
12:01
Can we get to the episode Donald, for God's
12:04
sake? At twenty one
12:06
seconds in there's a reference to the Rock.
12:08
Now this is two thousand and one. The
12:11
Rock is a very famous wrestler. I don't
12:13
know if he's made films yet. She does
12:15
say he's a film star, he says, she says
12:17
he's a movie star, but he's not the rock
12:19
that he is. Now, No, right,
12:21
it wasn't like he was. That's a
12:24
good question, Joel. Can you look up what films
12:26
had the Rock made in two thousand and one.
12:28
I don't know how many it is, but obviously
12:30
enough for Sarah to say he's a film star. Well
12:33
look I'll say this right now, yes, go
12:35
ahead. The Scorpion King, I
12:38
think was the first Joe
12:41
Joel's cracking up. What do you crack? The first
12:43
big rock at Joel's outfit today? She's all
12:45
matching it now she's all yellow. She got
12:47
on and it was all yellow. You
12:50
look good, Joel? All right? What's the rocks credits
12:52
in two thousand and one thus far in his career? Just
12:54
the highlights we don't need, like the little Indy he did
12:57
and stad you
12:59
always go so the Mummy
13:01
returns
13:03
Ben Scorpion King, then run down,
13:05
then walking tall, and then he really hits it off
13:07
in two thousand and five. Would be cool? Okay,
13:10
there you go. Cool? What was be cool? Be
13:12
cool? I imagine the rock just running
13:14
around. Be cool. It's a comedy with
13:16
who Kevin Hart? No, it's
13:18
got John Travolta and Uma Thurman and Vince
13:20
vaugh Ah. Right, it's to get shorty
13:23
uh sequel? Okay? Right,
13:25
all right, all right, well he was a movie star, then
13:27
we we're wrong but he wasn't the level of
13:29
like global. I mean, he's like the biggest movie star in the
13:31
world now, right him. Well
13:34
there's him, Kevin Hart, Will
13:36
Smith still Harrison Ford
13:38
Smith. Will Smith. I don't think is on the
13:40
level of the Rock these days because
13:43
the Rock rarely, the Rock rarely. Last
13:46
movie was Bad Boys from Life, and I think,
13:48
really, well, yeah, I'm just saying, and I love
13:50
Will Smith. Don't think I'm taking
13:52
anything away from him. I just think that the Rock doesn't really
13:55
have bombs. He's you know, there used to be movie
13:57
he does. Does the
13:59
Rock has a mom? Yeah? Oh,
14:01
the beach One, the Baywatch, the
14:03
Baywatch. I sound like my dad. The Baywatch.
14:06
My dad saw dream Girls and he goes, and
14:08
he had never heard of Beyonce, and but he saw dream
14:10
Girls and he goes, I gotta tell you this bay
14:12
Once she is something.
14:17
And h I just we always called
14:19
me because if us tell my dad
14:22
he was just he was so taken
14:24
by her, understandably like the rest of earth, but he
14:26
was like, this Bayonce she is
14:29
something. Can
14:32
we get to the episode, Donald, We've been in
14:34
the episode? All right? All right? So the Rock
14:36
and then the family feud Fantasy. I remember going to
14:39
the Real Family Feud set and
14:41
that was exciting. I'd never been on a game show set
14:43
before, and I thought it was very funny
14:46
that the breakdown is Boobs ninety
14:48
three seeing the Rock,
14:50
four, beer sandwiches,
14:53
two World Piece one.
14:56
So it was when they did when they when they pulled a
14:58
hundred people, two different people in this scenario
15:00
said beer sandwiches. Wow. But
15:05
you know, it's crazy that it says the Rock
15:07
is one of them, also, because I
15:09
feel like the Rock is kind of the I
15:12
mean, I'm sure it's been said before, but he's
15:14
like, male, Oprah, you know what I mean?
15:17
How do you mean? Like the Rock says, Yo,
15:19
this is what we're doing, And it seems like
15:21
a whole community of people are like, yeah, this is what we're
15:23
doing. The Rock set. So I know, but I don't think the Rock
15:25
was that level of of mega fandom
15:29
then, but right now it's it speaks
15:31
volumes of how steady
15:34
his career has been and how he is
15:36
amazing. Dude, Okay, Donald
15:38
loves the Rock. Who doesn't love the Rock exactly?
15:41
That's my point. That's
15:43
like somebody saying something bad about Bruno Mars
15:46
you're like what I feel like, there's Bruno
15:49
Mars. You know, I'm sure there's people
15:51
who don't like Bruno Mars. There's probably a few.
15:53
There's people who don't like anything. I once saw
15:56
this video on YouTube and it was sweet. It probably
15:58
tears to my eyes. It was literally ad ad
16:00
seeing a duet with his little
16:03
adorable daughter on a guitar, and
16:05
it like brought to here's my eyes. It was the sweetest thing
16:07
in the world. And then I looked on YouTube and there
16:09
were like thousands of thumbs downs,
16:12
like people were like, no, no
16:14
to this, How dare you sing
16:16
with that little daughter? Too fucking
16:18
adorable? I hate it? Fuck you.
16:21
You can find people to hate anything. Donald, Yeah,
16:23
do you want to sing Taylor Swift hater's gonna hate
16:25
right now? Well, I mean she's the one that taught
16:28
me that. She's the one that taught you that hater's gonna
16:30
hate hate hate hate hate. Yeah. I mean,
16:32
once she said it, it was like, you're right.
16:35
One thirty two, I wrote down Matt Winston
16:37
returns now Matt Winston who plays
16:39
doctor Steadman and who humps
16:42
Kelso's leg here. I just think
16:44
I decided I'm Starry. I know we're early in this podcast,
16:46
but he is my vote so far for most
16:49
underused funny supporting character.
16:51
Agreed. I think Bill had a thing with him.
16:53
I don't know what happened, but every time
16:55
I see him, I crack up. And I don't know why this guy
16:58
was not like one of the go to regulars. He
17:00
could have been. He should have been around for a
17:02
really long time. May I'm sure
17:04
I may have found a way to annoy Bill or something.
17:06
Because it doesn't make any sense, It doesn't come you. We're
17:09
gonna have to ask that, you know what, Joelle, Remember
17:11
when Bill said we could ask him things. Ask
17:13
and we'll insert Bill here. Why did
17:15
you stop using Matt Winston? Bill, come on,
17:18
we'll tell you guys. I should have used Matt
17:20
Winston more. He was really funny. But when
17:22
we were that early on the show, we
17:25
were always shooting episodes that were
17:28
five, six, seven, sometimes even eleven
17:30
or twelve minutes long, and I
17:32
was still trying to find room for my
17:34
pals Rob Maschio, you
17:36
know, as a buddy of mine, and I wanted to get him
17:38
in all the time. Neil Flynn wasn't even a regular,
17:41
and we wanted to get him in. We were essentially doing an
17:43
A story, a B story, a C story, and a
17:45
janitor runner, which, if you're
17:47
wondering, is too much. So
17:50
we kept using Matt Winston over the years and he kept
17:52
working. He was in About Schmidt and he
17:54
was in your movie. Zach. Should have used him
17:56
more. He's super super funny, cool
17:58
bit of trivia. Do you guys know who
18:01
Matt Winston's dad is? That's
18:03
all I'm saying. I miss you, guys. Why
18:05
am I not back already with you?
18:08
See you? And I love that Kelso
18:10
didn't know your name for the first few this
18:12
whole time. The reason why he's been calling you sport
18:14
and everything like that, because he still doesn't
18:17
know your name. I literally laughed out loud when
18:20
when he said when I said, that's the that's the
18:22
manufacture of the clipboard, sir, that's
18:28
very funny, very very funny. Um,
18:30
I just thought he was a funny, funny guy. And
18:33
uh, but yeah, that scene was really funny.
18:35
And by the way, a little trivia I saw on the interwebs
18:37
because I did research today on the interwebs.
18:39
Um, you know, there's all this talk that the janitor
18:42
h didn't acknowledge anyone else in season
18:44
one but me. But there's a little debate
18:46
because he passes the janitor and says smells
18:49
like ammonious pungent today. He might just be
18:51
saying that out to the universal. He might not
18:53
be acknowledging the janitor, But no, I think he's
18:55
I honestly do believe he's acknowledging
18:57
the janitor, right. That's not helping the scrubs
18:59
lord that Yeah, well, you know what, it doesn't
19:02
track. Some things just don't track. He might have
19:04
just come into the hallway Donald and gone up Ammonia's
19:06
pungent today. Listen, just because we're on the show
19:09
and we're best friends with the creator of
19:11
the show, doesn't mean that everything has to track.
19:13
Dude, all right, this didn't track.
19:16
It didn't though, Okay, somebody fucked up.
19:19
I love the fact that Carla and
19:21
Turk's relationship is moving to the next
19:23
level. They are now bumping
19:25
uglies or they're about to bump uglies.
19:27
And what does Zach what does
19:30
JD do? He comes
19:32
in and he ruins it. Yeah, see blocks,
19:35
you see block for real? And I was always I
19:37
always thought, you know, Carla
19:39
totally mind fucks turk man like.
19:42
She even says to him, do you want
19:44
me to take you into the room right
19:46
now and we can have sex? And when you come out, you'll
19:48
be walking sideways because I'll use I
19:50
will have used all your up and downs. Yeah,
19:52
it's very aggressive. What person
19:55
in their right mind is gonna say no, I don't want
19:57
that. She
19:59
mind fucks him so hard that he's
20:01
like, no, I don't want that. I like
20:03
that. She's such a strong woman. She's like, I'm
20:06
going to bang you so hard you
20:08
won't be able to move, do you want to? And
20:10
you're like, oh no, but this bullshit
20:12
though that you would be like, I'm sorry, but
20:14
it's bullshit that you would be like, um that
20:17
I panic? He panicked. I know, Yeah
20:20
that was funny. That was funny. Well, I wanted to talk about my nipples
20:22
real quick. The band aids on the nipples right
20:25
now. Have you ever been on sets where your nipples
20:28
the air conditionings on, and
20:30
and and your nipples are so hard it looks like you're
20:32
smuggling raisins and and you're you're
20:34
saying, I can't wear this shirt because I
20:36
I've got rock hard nipples. Absolutely
20:39
so on my last show I did that
20:41
was it was really bad. So I started, I mean, it's
20:43
embarrassing, but I wore pasties because
20:47
the wardrobe truck has pasties
20:50
for women, and I I
20:52
said, yeah, but they're mostly
20:54
for women, but in men in this case, because
20:57
I was like, I can't do this scene
20:59
and list this shirt. It looks ridiculous because it's
21:01
freezing in here. My nips are rock
21:03
hard. Bring out the pasties. So
21:06
he just became a running joke with the word
21:08
of department. They'd be like, Okay, Zach, you're gonna be in
21:10
this shirt today, and do you think you'll need your pasties?
21:14
Do you remember what you used to call my nipples? What
21:18
you don't remember, Oh, melted her,
21:20
she's kisses. Yes, that's
21:26
what they look like they
21:28
do. Next time you guys see Donald topless
21:31
on the screen, zoom in and they look
21:33
like little cute and melted her she's kissing. Ah.
21:39
I can't believe I remember that, all
21:42
right. So this is a perfect example. How we were
21:44
talking with Bill on the episode a
21:46
few days ago, and we were talking about
21:48
how Kelso is all about insurance
21:51
and Cox is all
21:53
about, you know, breaking the rules so
21:56
that he can get patients taken care of because
21:58
he's one of those doctors that actually cares.
22:01
Obviously, this couldn't be more relevant than
22:03
anything today, This debate that we've
22:06
been having in this country forever, and we were
22:08
having on this show. I mean, you couldn't make this show and
22:10
not start off early on and discuss
22:13
the problem of health insurance and
22:15
how doctors have to deal with this huge crisis
22:17
when patients don't have health insurance. Yeah,
22:20
and you know me, personally,
22:22
I would prefer a doctor like
22:24
Cox, But I can see how a hospital
22:26
can go broke if you have a bunch of doctors like that. You
22:28
know what I mean. Well, this is the debate of our
22:31
time, Donald, and we won't begin we won't even
22:33
begin to wade into the debate
22:35
because we're not nearly smart enough. But
22:37
I did think that this was very well articulated.
22:40
This, I mean, before I remembered this
22:42
was the Star Wars episode, I said to
22:44
myself, Oh, it's a it's a battle of good
22:47
verse evil and and and they're
22:49
fighting over the soul of JD on
22:51
the golf course. Absolutely, And
22:53
you think, you honestly believe because
22:56
of how emotional you get when your
22:58
mentor kind of washes
23:00
his hand. When he washes his hands with you,
23:03
you almost fall to the dark side. And it's
23:05
really easy to fall to the dark side. This
23:07
is this is why I love this. This is why I
23:09
love this. I can talk about Star Wars now.
23:12
No. I have a feeling you're gonna find a way. Maybe I
23:14
have a feeling you're going to start a side project, a
23:17
side hustle about Star Wars. There's
23:20
probably nine thousand Star Wars podcast
23:22
Oh, I'm sure there are. Yeah, I'm bros sitting
23:25
around talking about the jedies. What's
23:28
your favorite? Let's digress for a moment. What's your
23:31
favorite? You have to pick one Star Wars
23:33
film or there's
23:35
a gun to your head, go Vampire strikes
23:37
back. That's the easiest. That's everyone says that, right if
23:39
you're a mega fan. Yeah, for me, it's
23:41
it was. It was the Christmas special, the
23:44
one with with with Chewy on the Beach. Rogue
23:48
one is my favorite Star Wars movie.
23:50
It's you have to go to the premiere
23:53
and partially because it's everything I love
23:55
about the animated Star Wars brought to the
23:57
live action screen. It's the first time Darth Vader is every
23:59
really scary? It was? Well,
24:03
I'll tell you that. I'll tell you one thing that part.
24:05
If that didn't make the movie, that would have been
24:07
people would have been pissed off, like
24:09
two weeks before release. Dude, I'm sorry, that's
24:12
that's well, I didn't know you were a mega fan. Maybe
24:14
you can be Donald's co host didn't Star Wars podcast
24:18
later, I would do Stars, we
24:20
should, we should shoot it. One thing I've always wanted
24:22
to ask you, Donald, is how come in the e Walk song
24:25
at the end of Return the Jedi, they say, yump
24:27
nub it chicky, why why and then they go celebrate
24:30
the life? Does that mean that there's no
24:32
ewoks for celebrate the life?
24:34
I'm gonna have to say yes, okay,
24:37
so it just doesn't translate yub nub it chicky,
24:39
why why celebrate the life? Right
24:41
right? Yump nub hallelu
24:45
They're nah yum nub you
24:47
know the whole celebrate the life. Oh
24:51
my god. Dan is telling me that
24:53
Joel is the most knowledgeable
24:56
person on Star Wars, Marvel,
24:58
Watchman, literally a million mega
25:00
fan thing. Well, this is the Scrubs podcast,
25:03
I know, Donald, Let's get back to it. Knowledgeable
25:05
in scrubs. Yeah she is, but apparently we're
25:07
learning something about Joel that she is mega
25:10
mega mega star Wars geek like you.
25:12
Well, we're gonna have to trivia her later. All right,
25:14
Donald, back to our our show. So we
25:16
were talking about Cox's breaking the rules, and but
25:19
then one of the funniest things that we almost
25:21
saw an eagle. Yes, so yeah,
25:23
when he spends you. Yeah yeah.
25:26
I laughed so hard at you losing your balance
25:28
after two revolutions. I think, I really, I
25:30
think that was genuine There were two episodes, two
25:32
places in this episode where I genuinely fell. One
25:35
after Johnny c spit spun me in
25:37
that sort of wonder Years and that was shot on like Super
25:39
eight film to look like the old school. And
25:42
then when I'm in the water hazard, is
25:44
that what you call it? A water hazard? When
25:46
I'm in the When I'm in the water hazard and I'm and I'm
25:48
golfing, I remember I legit fell in that
25:50
moment and wasn't supposed to. I slipped. Wow. And
25:52
speaking of golf, that's how professional I am.
25:55
Donald, I kept going as you should. Speaking
25:57
of golf. John C McGinley I think has
25:59
been trying to hustle me because I picked
26:01
up golf. Well after we finished Scrubs,
26:03
I picked up golf. As a matter of fact, my standing
26:06
on Scrubs. Deontay Gordon, yes,
26:10
when Scrubs was all said and done, he was the one that
26:12
took me out to the golf course and was like, you know, because
26:14
my wife had told me, you need to stop playing
26:16
basketball. You getting hurt all the time. I'm sick and tired,
26:18
and you were playing tennis. You were getting really good at tennis.
26:21
I was getting good at tennis, but I was hurting myself
26:23
a lot, right. She was
26:25
like, you gotta get you gotta start. And also,
26:27
tennis is very expensive. Let's just be honest.
26:30
Tennis expensive to play. What you're just paying the court
26:33
fee? What do you do you mean lessons, lessons,
26:35
all of that stuff. To get good, you have to get lessons.
26:37
And I was like, well, what do I want to play
26:40
that I can play for the rest of my life. And I said,
26:42
you know, I picked up golf, and Deontay took
26:44
me to the golf course and we practiced playing
26:46
golf quite a bit, and then
26:48
finally, you know, we went out and we played and
26:50
we play a lot. Now. We play golf
26:53
together. John C McGinley. I
26:55
you know, I expressed to him that I love golf,
26:58
and he's like, oh wow, dude, I picked
27:00
up golf also. I just got into
27:03
it. I'm really excited as well.
27:05
This was the last time we saw him at
27:07
Bill's birthday party and
27:10
I was like, oh wow. I was like, we should go out now.
27:13
You know, in my mind, I'm thinking I'm about to bust
27:16
John C McGain lee's ass in golf. And
27:18
then we watched this episode. Yeah, and
27:21
he's got a really good golf swing. And dude,
27:23
he really hit that put. I mean that no one was
27:25
and he did that walk away that was all real. I think
27:27
he you know, they thought, okay, if you know, we
27:29
don't have time to sit here all day. He got a long put, we'll
27:32
cut it up if we need to. He literally
27:34
hit the ball and then walked away and it went in and
27:36
he was so fucking happy. I've never seen
27:39
that man so happy in my whole life. I'm gonna
27:41
just put it out there. I think he was
27:43
trying to hustle me. He's really good.
27:45
He was good then, he was good twenty years ago. He's saying
27:47
he's not good. Now, that's no, but that's what I'm trying to
27:49
say. Golf is one of those games. The longer you play
27:52
it, the better you are at Well, maybe he was just saying he was
27:54
rusty or something. Rusty, my ass
27:56
he belongs to a country club. I
27:58
think Ken really hit that ball off. Yeah,
28:01
and look, Ken's freakin
28:03
swing was amazing. Mine was not good. And
28:05
I remember really feeling nervous
28:07
and that the whole crew was
28:10
watching me, and there was clearly going to be a joke
28:12
like, oh, here it comes the guy who's not good
28:14
at sports, and we're gonna be here all day trying
28:16
to make him look good. And uh
28:19
and yeah, it was very uncomfortable and good,
28:22
well Bill, Bill cut it together for me to make
28:24
me look decent. It's definitely clear that you
28:27
don't play golf all the time. Now, the character didn't
28:29
donald sure, but I was. I'm
28:31
very I'm actually I should have told the audience I'm actually
28:34
excellent, but JAD needed
28:36
to be shitty. So what you're really good
28:38
at now, though, is tennis. Man, I'm very impressed
28:40
with Thank you. I don't know if I'm really good, but I really
28:43
love it. I'm having I never was into sports, and I
28:45
finally found something that I genuinely
28:48
love doing in tennis
28:51
other than badminton. I can't play badminton,
28:53
but I I do love to throw
28:55
a frisbee, but I but I
28:57
love tennis and we have the same tennis and
29:00
doctor Chris Krab, he's amazing. Give
29:02
him Chris Crab a shout out, even though you can't even
29:04
get an appointment with the darn guy. He
29:07
works a lot. Also an actor.
29:10
Also an actor, he was on a show. Do you know the name
29:12
of his Canadian series when he was a child, something
29:16
Bay, Danger Bay, Danger Bay.
29:19
Yeah, Chris Crab Danger Bay.
29:21
Our tennis coach is an actor, but
29:24
was on a Canadian series
29:26
when he was a kid and it was called Danger Bay.
29:28
So Danger Bayou. All go watch
29:30
Danger Bay clips right now on YouTube,
29:33
not right now, after this podcast, after the podcast
29:35
is over. Wait, I wrote down something. Oh so
29:37
I'm going backwards a bit, but there's a reference
29:40
to he calls me, are you there, God, it's me Margaret,
29:42
And that's a Judy Bloom book.
29:45
Now. Coincidentally, when I was a child,
29:47
I was we had to do a book report
29:50
and I just randomly chose a Judy
29:52
bloombook because I liked Judy Bloom, and I
29:55
chose to do my book report on
29:57
Are you there, God, it's me Margaret, not realizing
30:00
at the time that it's a story about a young
30:02
girl getting her period for the first
30:04
time. And I remember the teacher saying
30:06
to my parents, like, you know, he did a really nice
30:09
job with the book report, but it's it's a bit
30:11
curious that he chose a story about it a young
30:14
woman getting her period. I
30:21
don't know, he's an odd ball kid. I was like, Okay,
30:23
that's the book report today, Bloom.
30:26
Are you there, God, it's me Margaret. But
30:28
you know what, it made me very as a young child.
30:31
I empathized with with what the
30:33
girls were going through because I had learned about it through direct
30:36
You should direct and write a movie that's not
30:38
about dudes and write a movie about women.
30:41
I am. Actually the thing I'm writing right now is about
30:43
a woman. She's the lead,
30:46
and I mean, not a child and not
30:48
it's not the story of a young girl getting her period, but
30:50
it could change. I don't know. I didn't say child, I
30:52
said woman. Yeah. Yeah. I am the protagonist
30:55
of my of the thing I'm writing right now
30:57
is a woman in her mid twenties.
31:00
And on that note, we're gonna go to commercial right
31:02
now. Someone's gonna sell you something. Go someone.
31:13
We're back, Yes, and we are
31:15
back. I always wanted to say that. That's
31:17
the fun thing about having a podcast. You can say things like we're
31:19
back with Donald Phazon from Scrubs, I'm
31:22
here with Zach Braff, Yes Live
31:24
coming to you Live from Hollywood
31:27
at six thirty two, when when Sarah
31:29
shows her breast to the little boy, if
31:31
you if you pause it, the little boy
31:33
spikes the lens. Now, for those of you don't
31:36
know this bit of jargon, um
31:38
and this is gonna sorry, it's gonna ruin film and
31:40
TV for you now. So if you don't want film and TV forever
31:42
to be ruined for you, mute the next
31:45
minute. But spiking the lens is when an
31:47
actor accidentally looks into the lens of
31:49
the camera, and not like on purpose. You
31:51
know, sometimes the person's looking right into the camera like Faris
31:53
Bueler because he's talking to you. But spikes lens
31:55
is by accident, and it kind of breaks down that
31:58
fourth wall of hey, we're doing this imagine or
32:00
he played for you. You'll see it all the time
32:02
with with people actors in the background because they
32:04
they're kind of looking when the camera's coming near them,
32:06
and they look directly into the lens. And
32:08
actors do it all the time by accident, but it's usually
32:11
edited out. But I noticed that this little boy
32:13
who should be looking at Sarah's breast looks
32:15
at the camera directly into the lens when
32:17
it passes. So there, Yeah, I don't think Sarah
32:20
really showed him his breasts, and no, of course
32:22
not. Yeah, he had. I think she
32:24
had a beige band on or
32:26
something, and that was that
32:29
was his moment of like I thought I would go see some pities.
32:31
Yeah, so you're saying in protest, he spiked
32:34
the lens. He ruined the shot.
32:36
He ruined the shot in protest, I was told
32:39
when I got this part, I'd be seeing Sarah Chalk's breast.
32:41
I just wanted to do a little I think it's
32:43
good to give people a little some some filmmaking
32:46
jargon as we go. So now you know the term spiking
32:48
the lens or breaking the fourth wall. Yes,
32:51
I love the fact that in that scene
32:53
Turk is talking about what gift am I going
32:56
to get my new girlfriend? And he
32:58
thinks flowers and he thinks chalk, and
33:00
those are very cliche, especially for a
33:03
you know, a beginning, the beginning of a relationship
33:06
later on, flowers are like the little
33:08
things. And if you can bring flowers to the table
33:10
at any point, does your wife like getting
33:13
flowers from your loves?
33:15
Flowers? She thinks, but not necessarily
33:17
for anniversaries and stuff like that. They're
33:20
great gifts. But if you can just brighten a house
33:22
with some flowers, right, I
33:25
don't know about just not just women, men,
33:27
kids, anyone. It really does
33:30
brighten up a room when you walk into a room and there's
33:33
some form of flower
33:35
growth. In of course, flower
33:38
growth. Now you're saying, but when you do
33:40
you ever come home before we were in
33:42
isolation and just surprise your wife with
33:44
flowers. I did that a couple of times,
33:47
a couple of times, a couple of times, and when
33:50
done correctly, well, you know you can't do it
33:52
all the time. Well you can't do it all the time, but
33:55
married a long time, you might want to crank it up more than
33:57
a couple I do. Listen, after isolation,
33:59
I'm telling you right now, now you're
34:01
gonna do It's like it's
34:03
like isolation has been like, uh,
34:06
you know, I'm gonna work out tomorrow. After
34:08
tomorrow, I'm gonna be working out every day once isolation's
34:11
over, I'm gonna do everything I possibly can to
34:13
make my wife happy. But right now, right
34:15
shit, do
34:18
you guys go and have like time apart other
34:20
than doing the podcast in your closets? You guys find
34:23
a way to be separated? Because yes, because
34:25
Bill told me. Bill told me that Christa set
34:27
up a guest bedroom in the house and said that's
34:30
your office, and um, you're gonna
34:32
be there nine to five. That would be awesome.
34:35
I would love one of those. So you guys
34:38
are just together. Yeah, well we have two
34:40
very young children. You have to be together.
34:43
Casey posted the cutest picture I've ever seen in my
34:45
entire life, which was Wilder
34:47
doing Yoga's
34:50
real about she was in her like meditative state
34:52
doing doing zoom yoga. That was the cutest
34:54
thing I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, she's all about that yoga.
34:57
I need children because I'm like, I look
34:59
at your kids and I go, I need a kid doing
35:02
yoga. That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. In the
35:04
break room, Yeah, Turk's talking about what type
35:06
of gift he's gonna get her, and he finally decides
35:08
he's gonna get her a pen. And I
35:11
remember, right then and there, I was like, oh
35:13
my god, this is the asspin
35:15
episode. Oh
35:18
my god, this is I love
35:20
the asspin concept. Yeah,
35:23
so much so. I literally
35:26
the smile on my face when I when I realized
35:28
that it was the aspin episode was
35:31
huge. It was like guy Smiley big. But
35:33
then it got even bigger when
35:36
after Turk realizes he's
35:39
given Calla an asspin, Todd
35:43
notices that he has an ass chain
35:46
around his neck, and
35:49
not only does he smell it, smell
35:51
it yeah, but he also was like, oh wow,
35:54
this has been in another person's
35:56
ass very happy.
35:59
The thing about Todd that is already getting filtered
36:01
in is that he's um, he's
36:04
very you know, he's the Todd
36:07
of course, but I think we learned kind of early on
36:09
that he's down for anything, like
36:12
anything, He is open to
36:15
anything of obviously men
36:17
and women. He's fluid
36:19
in that sense. But also we learned
36:21
later he's very attracted to seniors. I think it eventually
36:24
we learned that also, and monkeys,
36:26
he's not an agist. And monkeys,
36:29
what do you mean monkeys? Where is
36:31
said monkey? By
36:34
the way, we're jumping ahead. We're jumping
36:36
ahead. But I think one of the funniest times I've ever
36:39
laughed in nine years was when
36:41
we're in the break room and Rob
36:44
is, uh no, no,
36:47
it's we're in the
36:50
room where we would sleep, where the doctors would sleep,
36:52
and I think Saturah and I were hooking up. I forgot
36:54
what the what the story was. We'll get to that episode. But
36:57
Rob comes down and he goes sometimes
36:59
when I'm banging this mattress, I
37:01
imagine I'm banging that one so
37:06
dirty for a half hour TV comedy, and we
37:09
were very dirty. So Rob as
37:11
I guess, establishing that he someone
37:13
gave him the chain from the ass box and he likes it.
37:16
No, he took the chain from the ass box,
37:18
the ass box. That's your analysis, because why
37:21
is he surprised? Then? No, So Todd
37:23
and Turk thought they found the Lost
37:25
and Found. Oh god, and in the Lost
37:28
and Found were a bunch of items
37:30
and they were like holy shit. And Todd was like, yo,
37:33
there's a gold chain in here. Gold
37:36
chain out up somebody's
37:38
but or watch real quick, because I happened to be there. I want
37:40
to see he actually sniffs it. Please, I
37:43
hope he sniffs it. Please sniff it, Rob, please
37:45
sniff it. Okay, he's looking, he
37:47
sees the chain in the ass, he
37:50
takes it out. No, he just looks
37:52
and smiles. Lie.
37:56
But it's still funny. I bet you he did a take where
37:58
he sniffed and Bill was like no. Bill was like, no way, that's
38:00
not making in the show, but still very
38:03
funny. Now when when Steadman we're
38:05
jumping around, but when doctor
38:07
Stedman says I'm woozy on the golf course,
38:10
it made me think of you because we once
38:12
went to Cambo for
38:14
my birthday and you were day drinking.
38:17
Donald is a lot like a like a puppy in
38:19
that he'll go super hard, super hard,
38:21
super hard, and then he needs a nap. And
38:24
we were in Cambo for my birthday and he's
38:26
like we're raging and day drinking and just by
38:29
the pool, and then he's like down for the count
38:31
up in our suite and I was like, where's
38:33
Donald. I go up there and I try and try and wake
38:35
you up, and you go I'm woozy. You
38:39
were with your brother too. My brother
38:41
thought it was the funniest fucking thing. He talks about all the time.
38:44
He's like Murmber when Donald said he was woozy, Like who
38:46
says they're woozy? You
38:48
could have easily said, bro, I'm tired, I'll be out in a little
38:50
bit. You were like, I'm woozy. I was drunk
38:53
as can they do. Yeah, that's funny, though I laughed.
38:55
It was too many I
38:57
heard, I heard Steedman Sam woozy, And
38:59
I sorry remembering my brother and I laughing
39:02
for fucking months about you yelling that you were
39:04
woozy. One of my favorite, one
39:06
of my favorite stories of you and your brothers.
39:08
Are you guys sneaking And we still use
39:10
this to this day. You guys sneaking into the house
39:13
right late at night, right drunk
39:15
out of your mind. I think we might have had some of God's
39:18
lettuce as well. Okay, so you might have had some
39:20
of the green lettuce that God grows on
39:22
this earth, God's favorite lettuce. Yeah, and
39:24
your brother taking his pointer finger
39:27
and sticking it up your butt.
39:30
Right, we were walking Yeah, yeah, you guys
39:32
are walking up the stairs and he's
39:34
behind you and he sticks it up your butt and you
39:36
turn around and go, dude, too deep.
39:39
Yeah, we were, we were we
39:42
were trying to be quiet, and we were like very
39:44
silly and giggling, and we're walking up the stairs. We
39:46
didn't want to wake up my parents. And he you know, he
39:48
put his finger like you know, I had clothes on.
39:51
It wasn't like he went in my butt, but he like
39:53
tried to jab my my poohle
39:56
and U and I
39:58
turned around and went dude, too d deep. And
40:00
we laughed about that. We laughed about
40:03
that forever because it wasn't like it
40:05
wasn't like I was saying, bro fucking stop. I was
40:07
like, no, just that, not that far. Yeah,
40:13
too deep has been a very long running joke
40:16
in my whole family. Wherever Too
40:18
Deep, that's one of my favorites I
40:27
wanted to talk about. In this episode, they
40:29
introduced the fact that Turk is
40:31
a man of faith. Yes, and it's
40:35
right and the cross is out and everything like that.
40:37
And I remember Bill coming up to me and saying, you know what,
40:39
we want to establish that you're a man
40:42
of faith so that
40:44
when the Christmas episode comes up,
40:47
we have this whole storyline for you when the Christmas
40:49
episode comes up. Yeah, and while
40:52
watching this this is also this all goes
40:54
away after the Christmas
40:56
episode. So they lead up to this.
40:58
They did all the all of this stuff where
41:01
Turk is a man of faith for the next couple of episodes
41:04
until we get to the Christmas episode. Just why didn't
41:06
notice? Yeah? Did
41:08
you notice? When you when you when you do get
41:10
to the scene with Carla setting up candles in the
41:12
house sixteen fifty four, it's a lot
41:14
of a lot of candles. I mean, she's really it's
41:16
kind of a fire hazard. The woman has set up far too
41:18
many candles. Yeah. Have you ever been
41:21
in a room with candles like that in real life?
41:23
No? I only no, only like
41:26
I mean, I've been in rooms where you set
41:28
up a few candles because you're trying to be romantic. But
41:30
never Judy. It looked like a music video set for boys
41:33
to men. I'll make love
41:35
to you like you on
41:38
me too, and I'll
41:40
hold you tight. That's
41:42
such a correct baby. All through
41:45
the night, I oh
41:49
make But
41:53
you guys can't see it. But joel Is is swaying
41:55
like a fangirl in the front row, like she's just shy
41:57
of holding up a lighter. They
42:00
don't hold up lighters anymore. They hold up cell phones. All
42:02
their phones. They hold up their phones. They're now cell phones.
42:04
Um. So I just thought that was funny. Like, first
42:07
of all, candles are very expensive, right, so carl
42:09
Yeah, where did she get all the said candles?
42:12
This is before Amazon, Carla went candle
42:14
shopper. Yeah, so like Yankee
42:16
Doodle whatever whatever, though, who
42:19
was the candle shop name? I don't know if it's still around
42:21
Yankee Doodle is that it? I don't
42:23
know. The scented candles, I don't
42:25
know, but she went nuts, and frankly, I just don't
42:27
think it's very safe. I mean, if you guys are gonna go yes
42:30
Dan saying it's Yankee candle, It's Yankee
42:32
candle, Yankee candle. So you guys
42:34
are gonna get busy, and then I'm just worried, just safety
42:36
wise. You're gonna go in the other room and bump
42:39
uglies and then we're gonna be left. I'm gonna be
42:41
left in a fire hazard of an apartment because there's nine
42:43
hundred candles lit. I imagine there's also
42:45
candles in the other room. Listen you if you're
42:47
listening to this, I don't want your house to burn down. Let's
42:49
say you light candles in the living room and you're romancing
42:51
your partner. Before you go do
42:54
it in your in your bedroom, please blow out all
42:56
your candles in the main room. This has been
42:58
a public service announcement from Zack
43:00
and Donald. Only you. At
43:03
seventeen twenty nine, there's that super dark
43:05
fantasy, I mean, so appropriate
43:08
for the healthcare debate that's going on in our country
43:10
now. But that super dark fantasy
43:12
of Kelso manning the supermarket
43:15
cash register and just checking out and
43:17
charging old people and then I whip out the body
43:20
bag. I mean, I love that Bill did that.
43:22
It's just really amazing, just
43:25
satire, but it was like so dark, especially
43:27
now, I was just like, this is this is so
43:30
smart and also so fucked up and
43:32
true. Yeah, it's very true. Did
43:35
you notice at eighteen o six that Rowdy has a food
43:37
ball. I never knew that Rowdy had a ball. In
43:39
the background of this scene
43:41
with you and Judy in the corner, a little
43:43
Easter egg for you guys, there's Rowdy and not
43:45
only has a bull, but he has food we bought food for the
43:47
dead dog. That's crazy, that's wrong
43:49
with us, That's what I'm telling you. That's the oddest storyline
43:53
throughout the whole series. The rowdy
43:55
storyline is just so freaking weird.
43:57
Dude, Like, we bought a dead dog
44:00
food. Yeah, and we make
44:02
the dead dog hump. Did
44:04
you know that he had a ball? I didn't
44:06
know that. I forgot all about that. Also,
44:09
before we go that far, I wanted to talk about
44:11
the bar. Yeah, that bar
44:13
is only there for the first season, if I'm correct.
44:16
Yeah, now, I think you're right, and that is not in
44:18
urgent Care either. That's also that
44:21
was actual, an actual bar that we used
44:23
to film in. Yeah, and it was a big
44:25
pain in the ass to go there because you know, when you
44:27
leave, when we left the hospital, we were a big footprint
44:29
with a very large crew, and it always going
44:32
to locations was a big deal. Like I think we spent
44:34
the full day on that golf course, but going
44:36
to the bar. They wanted to use the bar so
44:38
much and going there with such a pain in the ass that that's
44:40
why I believe it was second season.
44:43
They built the bar set into the hospital,
44:45
into the hospital, So this is one of the time.
44:47
This is one of the one of the bar scenes that was in
44:49
an actual bar. Also a little Scrubs
44:52
trivia go on. I don't have the answer
44:54
for it. What country club was
44:56
that that you guys were playing golf at? I
44:58
have no idea exactly. I
45:00
have no idea. These are things that I would be very interested
45:03
in right now because I love playing golf.
45:05
So as a golfer, did you go who
45:07
nice course? I'd like to play it right
45:09
away. As soon as I saw it, I was like, what country club
45:12
is that? What golf course is that? I want to play there? Okay,
45:14
well, I'll bet you we can find out. We'll do well. I've
45:16
been very lucky to play on some
45:19
really cool golf courses. I got to play Sherwood
45:21
once. I think they're kind of obnoxious if
45:23
I can. I I guess this is controversial
45:26
to say to a golfer, but Los Angeles
45:28
has filled with so many damn golf
45:31
clubs. Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you something
45:33
right now. There is beautiful, packed, beautiful
45:35
land that should be shared with the people.
45:38
I'm just saying. Sometimes I'm driving around town
45:41
and I go wow, and then there's like a hole in the in
45:43
the in the chain link fence, and I go, oh my god,
45:45
look how beautiful it is in there, and
45:48
we're not allowed to use it. I'm just pissed. I'm
45:50
the complete opposite of you. I'll drive around
45:53
town and I'll see an open field and I'll
45:55
be like, is that a golf course? Yeah? Because
45:57
you you like to play them, and you get invited
45:59
because you're you to play on fancy courses.
46:01
But I love playing golf. Let's talk about
46:03
the Star Wars fantasy, because I think that it's
46:06
a very special moment. This is a tricky
46:08
thing because when you're gonna you're allowed to parody
46:11
something, it's laws and copyrights. If it's
46:13
called fair use, if you're if
46:15
you're truly doing a parody. That's how SNL is
46:18
allowed to do whatever they want and and other
46:20
things that that are doing parody. But
46:23
I remember there were lots of weird rules like to
46:27
you know, like that had to be medically inspired.
46:30
That's why when you cut twenty twenty six and you cut
46:32
to the girls with the buns in their hair, there
46:34
had to be like medical supplies in
46:36
their hair. I didn't really think that made sense, but but
46:39
the lawyers had found a way to tiptoe around
46:41
it and be able to do it. If we were we
46:43
were doing a quote unquote medical parody
46:45
of Star Wars. You know
46:47
what I mean. I didn't understand that. I didn't understand
46:50
why they had all of those things in their hands. Yeah, but the
46:52
scrubs enough was us
46:54
being in scrubs was enough for it to be
46:57
you know what I mean? Like I had a vest and
47:00
a shirt underneath, and you know, I
47:03
thought that was if you notice, all of our outfits
47:05
were scrubs bassed, so I thought that would be enough
47:07
for Well, the girls are the girls like
47:10
they're in um in real scrubs,
47:12
whereas your outfit and mine are are altered.
47:15
Like I'm I've got like the I've got like the cross
47:18
and whatever you call my scrubs have been altered. And
47:20
uh, I don't think that's my hair. That must be a
47:22
wig, right, that's not Yeah, but this was Yeah, that's definitely
47:25
not my hair. Really, it looks like it's yours.
47:28
You wish you had that hair, by the way, you look
47:30
so good with that hair. I mean I would
47:32
look land I'm telling you, Billy d Williams,
47:34
watch out, baby. If I had that hair, or Solo
47:38
are supposed to be Solo or Lando, I'm supposed
47:40
to be Han Solo, but Eric Estrado, eat
47:42
your heart out when I got hair like that. You
47:44
do look good with that hair. You know, we did us chips
47:47
of photoshoot that you can you see on
47:49
the interwebs if you're curious. It was for some magazine,
47:51
I think Entertainment Weekly or something, and they
47:54
they had a wig on you and you
47:56
looked glorious. I'd love it. I look like
47:58
Bruno Mars and Eric Estrada. Yeah,
48:01
I like this. I haven't frozen on your on your wig.
48:03
You look great. I couldn't remember if you were supposed
48:05
to be Lando or supposed to be Han Solo, but now I was Han
48:08
Solo. That's why then easy chewy line. But also
48:10
this was the year we went to the Playboy Mansion for Halloween
48:12
and I wore that same wig because
48:15
I tried to be Han Solo at the Playboy Mansion.
48:17
And I remember people walking up to me like, yo, who are
48:20
you supposed to be? And I was like, I'm Han Solo.
48:22
I don't like remember, I barely remember. I
48:25
remember we went to the Playboy Mansion. And you dressed
48:27
up as as a big fire I
48:29
was that's not very creative, and I was
48:31
Han solo. Did you remembering Playboy
48:34
Mansion or do you remember thinking like, oh, it's not exactly
48:36
what I daydreamed it would be. It was not what
48:38
I imagined it would Yeah, me too, I remember thinking it
48:40
was it was a little bit along in the tooth.
48:43
It didn't. It didn't, it was. It's
48:45
one of those things where it's like, it's better to just imagine
48:48
what it would be like in your in your dreams. The fantasy
48:50
was definitely better than the reality of Yeah,
48:53
there were lots of benefits on the show, and you could
48:55
be like, hey can I get a you go to hair
48:57
and makeup? Hey can I get a haircut? You get a carry? Hey
48:59
can I in a Halloween costume? Or Hey, I'm
49:01
going to be on a show this week? Can you give me outfit
49:05
to where when I walk out? But look at you, look
49:07
at your background. You have no shortage of outfits.
49:10
Back there, Donald, this is all my wife's clothes, believe
49:12
it or not. Really, Yeah, what you're
49:14
seeing behind me is actually my wife stuff. The
49:16
stuff over here is mine. On the left
49:18
side, that's mine and those are golf
49:20
shirts. A lot of p XG golf shirts. Oh
49:22
my god, I'm
49:24
just saying, okay,
49:33
we all call her Laurie. Hi.
49:36
I'm so sorry. No, you're perfect,
49:38
You're just in time. We almost ended the show. We
49:40
almost ended the show, Laurie. We almost
49:43
ended the show without you, without Lorie.
49:45
No, no, no, without always with Hi,
49:47
Lorie Hi. It's so great to Where
49:50
are you from? Where are you calling from? The
49:52
Caribbean? Turnidad
49:55
on the show, Select to come
49:58
down finald The show was officially
50:00
international. Now it really is. It's
50:02
big. Are you wearing scrubs? I
50:05
sure? Am? Oh are you what are you a
50:07
doctor? Nursa? What do you do? I'm
50:09
a photographer, but oh, you just love just
50:12
scrubs for the podcast. I was
50:14
thinking, nobody's going to see that, you know that, right, we'll
50:16
see it, will We saw it though, and I like that
50:18
they're green too. I appreciate you.
50:21
Yeah, thank you Louri for
50:23
coming on the podcast and tell us what your
50:25
question is. So in the series,
50:28
I think, I mean, you'll always balance between
50:30
super heavy things as well as really light. But
50:33
there are two truly like super
50:35
heavy episodes. It's
50:37
my phone Idol where Cox lost
50:39
the three patients after getting a trance lances
50:42
from Jill Tracy and my screw
50:44
up would be big just ending spoilers
50:46
with Ben dying at the end, and
50:49
I was just wondering which one was your favorite,
50:51
because it's pretty difficult to choose. I think, Wow,
50:54
I'm going to be really lame and admit that I got goose bumps
50:57
when you said that, because I
50:59
have to go to Ben dying, just because I think
51:02
one of the most talked about things in Scrubs
51:05
history was that moment at the funeral
51:07
with where do you think we are? And
51:10
where do you think we are? And then Josh Raiden's
51:12
song Winter Coming on. I
51:14
just think that that was just so moving
51:18
and Cox, who's always such a strong alpha
51:21
on top of it all, finally getting to see
51:23
him grieve and feel pain. And
51:26
I think Johnny's performance in that was was
51:29
incredibly moving. What about
51:31
you Donald? You know, I do
51:33
like the episode where Cox loses
51:35
three patients because at first he's trying
51:38
to pitch a no hitter, and that's what we
51:40
all think is going to happen, is that he's gonna you
51:43
know, you know, we even use the
51:45
reference in the show where you
51:47
know, you don't talk to him about what's
51:50
going on because he's in the zone. And
51:52
then at the end of the episode he loses
51:56
if I'm am I correct, Lorie, I'm correct
51:58
about this, right, Laurie. Yeah, all three
52:00
dicer, but he is in the zone, and he does feel
52:02
like he's going to save all three of them too,
52:04
right before it all goes down, right
52:07
right right right before and like the two die
52:10
and anyone who's his actual friend he
52:12
gets like the page and then that's when he's
52:14
like losing it. And then that I mean, I'm
52:17
a super frequent and comes to scribes, but that's right after
52:19
the episode. She's a super freak
52:21
when it comes to scribs.
52:25
That's right after the episode where Joe Tracy
52:27
dies on himself up because he's like, I could
52:29
have saved her and cox Jon
52:31
John says, if you let yourself feel
52:33
like that, that's the end and J D. J. John
52:36
Tells talks that and he's like, yep, you
52:38
know more about the show. I love I
52:41
love super fans like that. I love it. I think
52:44
it's so cool. Yeah, Donald and I do not know nearly.
52:46
That's it's a good thing. Though amazing.
52:49
It's amazing, And I really love your accent. It's amazing.
52:52
I never realized I had on I
52:55
you know, I I gotta be honest with
52:57
you. Anytime John c McGinley has
52:59
the opportunity unity to do sad
53:02
drama, it's always good. And so
53:04
you know, when Ben dies and when the three
53:07
patients die and you see him wig out
53:09
and lose it, it's
53:12
always good. So if you're asking me, if
53:14
you're asking me which one I liked better, I
53:17
do, I'm gonna be honest with you. I do like the
53:19
one with Brendan Frasier in it. One
53:21
because Brendan Frasier was in it, and two
53:24
because this is Cox so far
53:27
off the rails, you know what I mean That he's hallucinating
53:30
and he's imagining things and he loved
53:32
this man so much. And this is the only
53:34
person you know, that we ever
53:36
see him love that much where
53:38
it breaks his heart and breaks him down. So
53:41
that definitely is one of the episodes
53:43
that I feel as our most as
53:46
it hits hard, you know, it's it's
53:48
done so perfectly. Yeah, that
53:50
one. And when Glenn Turman was on the show, Yes,
53:54
I forgot his character name but he's the one that he's
53:56
the older black man that Donald and I are trying
53:58
to keep alive, and we sit by
54:01
his side. Yeah, George, God, you're good.
54:04
He's a wonderful actor and he that's one of
54:06
my favorite episodes. Actually, yeah, all
54:09
right, do you have another question, Laurie? I have
54:11
my friend who's the real reason that I even got
54:13
through to do this. It should be on it because
54:16
she want to asks the question. I don't know where she
54:19
is. Do you want to want to call her?
54:21
You can call her friend Millionaire Elid
54:27
audience. Do you want to use a lifeline? Yeah?
54:29
Yeah, hold on, I'm trying to click the
54:31
link in the emails?
54:35
What is the question question?
54:37
If you don't have another legendary anything?
54:42
Wow, what I have actually
54:44
wanted to do really badly? He
54:47
was. I don't know. If you're on Instagram, in people's stories,
54:49
they have this templates where it's like this or that. Yeah,
54:52
yeah, yeah, I have a ton of them with scrubs.
54:55
Let's go. Yes, that's it. Do
54:58
you prefer my pilot or my finale?
55:00
The real finale? Season? It my
55:05
pilot that was the jump off? Yeah,
55:07
my pilots is the moment that our lives changed,
55:09
so I think we'll always have a soft spot in our heart for that. Um.
55:12
Do you prefer Molly More's characters
55:14
Jadie's girlfriends? What's the bunk's character as
55:17
Jadi's girlfriend? Oh, that's a tough
55:19
one. I loved
55:21
him both, But since Mandy was my
55:23
real life girlfriend at the time, I'll say Mandy
55:26
because that was really cool that it was very
55:28
well. It was also really a cool to avon at the time
55:30
because, uh, you know, it was
55:33
fun to act with my girlfriend at the time and she. I thought
55:35
Mandy had a great job. Also, I also
55:38
loved Mandy on the show. But I really liked Elizabeth
55:40
Banks also on the show. I was a huge
55:42
fan of forty year old Virgin and the character she played
55:44
in forty year old version, and I thought that was you
55:47
know, I thought it was cool that, you know,
55:50
she was on the show. Sure, all right,
55:52
go ahead, last one, Lorie, because we were
55:54
no two more? You get two more, two more? Okay,
55:58
Oh, this is no difficult. Um. Do
56:00
you prefer trusty bottoms of clickie
56:02
tops fence? Oh? I'm a clickie top
56:05
guy. I loved it nervously, nervously
56:07
click clickie top and
56:10
um, this one's really for Donald.
56:12
But did you prefer your Neil Diamond
56:14
impression or your Aeron novel in Russia?
56:17
Neil Diamond? Because I love Neil Diamond,
56:19
Come on, give us a little. When I was a kid, I
56:22
used to listen to in between
56:24
watching Voltron and Transformers
56:27
on w p i X in New York
56:29
City. They would always play the best
56:31
of Neil Diamond. And that's how
56:33
I learned about who Neil Diamond was. I
56:35
don't know any of his songs full
56:38
all the way through. I only know snippets.
56:41
It's like everywhere
56:43
around New World. They
56:46
come into America and
56:49
then love on the Rocks,
56:53
no surprise, and then what
56:57
was the other one? Turn on? Yeah,
57:00
hard light. Did you ever see
57:02
the movie he made? I think it was The Jet. Yeah,
57:04
he's in black face in that movie, Dude, at one
57:06
point he's in black face in that movie. Neil
57:09
Diamond is in black face in that movie. OK. I didn't
57:11
know. Don't yell at me. I didn't make them. I didn't. I'm just putting
57:13
it out there. Not only wrote
57:15
it. Here's a great here's something great
57:17
that I loved about doing scrubs and my
57:20
love for Neil Diamond, the Transformers
57:24
more than meets the eye, keep
57:27
going Transformers
57:31
robots in disguise. So
57:35
if you've ever asked, if you ever anyone ever asked you, have
57:37
you ever heard of an impression of Neil Diamond
57:39
seeing the child face their
57:41
Batsu to destroy the
57:44
evil forces of the
57:47
Decepticons. Who
57:50
well, alright, alright, alright, alright,
57:53

57:55
thank you, you're the best, and thanks for being such a big fan
57:57
of ours. We thank you for wearing scrubs, Rank
58:00
Dale, and thank you for the scrubs being
58:02
green. Donald.
58:04
I think that's the episode. That is the episode.
58:07
Wait, I mean is there anything after Star Wars. Let's
58:09
see, I'm scrolling the janitor pushes me
58:11
over. No, well, actually, let's
58:13
talk about the reveal. You know, you finally realizing
58:16
doctor Cox. This will go on
58:18
for the next few episodes where doctor Cox
58:20
figures out a way to come back to the
58:22
hospital and and
58:26
work even though he's suspended, and
58:28
he uses if I'm correct, he uses JD
58:31
as his liaison. I don't remember,
58:34
but nice pronunciation of liaison. I like you put
58:36
a little French on it, no doubt. Listen, I miss
58:38
you so much. I totally
58:40
miss you. In the words of Tenacious D. Dude,
58:42
I totally miss you. That's Tenacious
58:45
D. Absolutely do you know how is it a song?
58:48
Yeah, dude, I totally miss you. Dude.
58:50
I totally miss you, Dude,
58:53
I totally miss you. Do I do
58:55
miss you. And and it's Friday
58:57
night here in Los Angeles, and man, I
59:00
wish that we were headed to a fun restaurant
59:02
to have drinks with our gals and and
59:05
have long hugs and
59:07
chest and fun and laughter, fun and
59:09
laughter. Casey Cobb, Donald's wife coined
59:11
that phrase. She said, well, she didn't coin it. She don't
59:14
get paid when people say it. No, but that's
59:16
copyrighted. But she was always like, y'all want
59:18
to get together for fun and laughter. That
59:20
is that is her saying, Donald,
59:25
do you want to lead us in gratitude
59:27
and thanks this week? I am so
59:29
thankful for so many
59:32
things right now. One, the healthcare
59:34
community out there, and the doctors
59:37
and the nurses and
59:39
the orderlies and all the people that the
59:42
EMTs, the mets, everyone
59:44
that works in the hospital, but not just them, also
59:47
the people that work at the grocery stores, bust
59:49
driving people, the people that take our trash
59:52
out COVID nineteen is
59:54
hitting really hard in the African American
59:56
community right now, and that's because
1:00:00
of African Americans, we have the
1:00:02
jobs that people are calling essential
1:00:05
and don't necessarily have the
1:00:08
best healthcare out there. And
1:00:11
I just want to shine a light on that and
1:00:14
shine a light on our community
1:00:17
and make sure that we all have
1:00:19
each other's backs right now, because
1:00:21
that is very, very very important.
1:00:24
And so I just, you know, I just want
1:00:26
to thank all of the healthcare workers. I want
1:00:28
to thank everybody out there, but I especially
1:00:30
want to reach out to all
1:00:33
of my brothers and sisters out there and and
1:00:35
and say to you guys, you
1:00:38
know, one, stay in. This is not
1:00:40
a game two. Check
1:00:43
on your people for real, and
1:00:47
hopefully, if you're lucky, you'll have a
1:00:49
doctor like doctor Cox or something like
1:00:51
that who's willing to you
1:00:54
know, because insurance it's a big issue right
1:00:56
now. It's such a huge issue right now, and
1:00:58
we need to figure that out. I'm just, you know, I
1:01:00
don't want to, you know, get
1:01:03
controversial and say, you know, people aren't
1:01:05
doing enough, but that's something that needs
1:01:07
to be addressed. We need to address. On
1:01:09
the next episode, we are going to solve
1:01:12
the healthcare problem in the United States. We're not going to solve
1:01:14
the healthcare problem. I know, I'm just kidding, but we're
1:01:16
gonna But I definitely wanted to say, you
1:01:18
know, watch each other's backs
1:01:21
out there. Yeah, well said, And thank
1:01:23
you everybody for listening, and thank
1:01:26
you for tuning in. And we're having
1:01:28
so much fun doing this, and we're so happy
1:01:30
to know that so many of
1:01:32
you across the globe are listening.
1:01:35
So now Donald will count us into our final
1:01:38
