0:37

0:40

is what I'm talking about. Do you want to hear something

0:42

crazy? Everything? This is the craziest

0:44

thing is my late father would say every

0:46

time he saw an old friend, tell

0:49

me everything. Okay,

0:53

my daughter is

0:56

for some reason. I don't know how

0:58

this is possible. Well I do know how it's

1:00

possible, but I just got to say,

1:02

shout out to this lovely lady. My

1:05

daughter is obsessed with Valerie Burton Elly.

1:10

I know, look at your faces, you guys

1:12

are all like, I

1:14

love Valerie Burton, Elle, Adam, How did

1:16

how did she get exposed to Valerie Burton?

1:18

Ellie? That's exactly what well. Listen,

1:20

First of all, they have the same birthday. Okay,

1:23

that's one. She knows all of

1:25

Valerie's hobbies now and

1:27

it's all due to Kids Baking Championship.

1:31

Yes, so, Valerie, Burton, Ellie

1:34

and this dude Duff host this

1:36

show, Kids Baking Championship where

1:38

they have a bunch of kids bake

1:42

cakes, cookies, you

1:45

name it. Right, My daughter's watched

1:47

every season. And she's not only watched every season,

1:50

she's watched every season in like

1:52

flu pandemic, so pandemic. Kids

1:54

Baking Championship has become the number

1:57

one thing in our house. Wow. She loves

1:59

the cook because she does Casey cook

2:02

with her or baker. No, no,

2:04

because I'm the baker in the house right, Oh, I see.

2:06

And so I'll be making stuff and my daughter's

2:08

like, is that fondon? Are you gonna make fond that?

2:12

Yeah? Are you gonna do buttercream? If

2:14

you're gonna do butter cream, this is what I suggest, you

2:17

know what I mean. Like, she's totally

2:19

into it. She's like, Valerie loves lemon.

2:21

She loves she loves lemon flavor. That's

2:23

so funny. So maybe when you're back you could cook

2:25

with her bake with her. Oh dude, I

2:27

got it all set I got it set in stone. For her

2:30

birthday, we're gonna surprise her with some baking

2:32

stuff. But for

2:34

her birthday, all she wants to do is

2:36

meet Valerie Burton. Now,

2:38

I feel like you can make that happen. I don't know that

2:40

we can. Man. You know, if anybody out there

2:42

that's listening right now has a connection,

2:45

listen, With all due respect to Valerie,

2:47

she's not asking to meet Beyonce,

2:50

right, I think Valerie, I think I have a better

2:52

shot at meeting Beyonce, her meeting

2:54

Beyonce than meeting Valerie. Though. I think

2:56

like my only in with Valerie is

2:58

that we were on the same network for a few

3:00

seasons. We were on, we

3:02

were on. This is how you. I think

3:04

if you, if you use your agent

3:07

um to call Valerie's agent and

3:09

just write a very sweet note saying, because

3:12

of the baking show, my daughter is obsessed.

3:14

And I'm sure you get other parents saying this, but

3:17

is there any chance you'd consider just doing a little

3:19

video for her? There's no way she's going to say no to

3:21

you. Well, I don't know, I love

3:23

her, you know, my daughter really

3:26

loves her. Yeah, you could even say that you love her and you

3:28

grew up watching her. And you know, I don't want

3:30

to say I grew up anytime somebody says I grew up

3:32

watching you. I got a problem with that. For some reason,

3:35

why people say that to us all the time. Yeah,

3:37

I got a problem with I got a problem with him thinking

3:39

that I'm an old as motherfucker. I'm not old,

3:41

Okay, I am

3:43

young. I had this funny moment. The kids

3:45

in my movie Cheaper by the Dozen. They

3:48

you know, they're they're too young to even no

3:50

scrubs. But like I blew their minds

3:53

when I told them I was checking little, like I

3:56

saw I put the video on Instagram.

3:58

They're little. I was just one of them. Their their

4:00

minds were like, all of a sudden, I

4:02

went I became exponentially cooler

4:04

to that because I was the voice

4:07

of Chicken Little. I love that. That's

4:09

great though, man. But so yeah, I mean, you

4:11

know, we're not on You know some of these kids. You

4:13

know the fact that Wilder is a Valerie

4:15

Burton elly fan is adorable and funny

4:18

because you know, I mean that that lady

4:20

has a hustle. I'm gonna tell you that right now. Man, she

4:22

went from actress, producer, director,

4:25

you know, in the entertainment industry, and now she's

4:27

a sincere cook, like she can

4:29

throw down in the kitchen Valley Burton

4:32

Elly Cannon. So you know, well,

4:34

I think you can make it happen, dude, if you really

4:36

committed, I think you could. You could place two

4:39

well written emails and magic

4:41

could happen. We'll see, see Wilder.

4:44

When is Wilder's birthday, because I'd probably have to send

4:46

a present. She's my god daughter. Right Friday,

4:48

the twenty third of April, Wilder

4:50

turns three, Wildness.

4:54

Also, let me tell you this now. So here's

4:56

the other thing. Go ahead. I am

4:59

loving my job. Yeah you are. I'm

5:01

gonna be so disappointed if

5:03

this CW doesn't

5:05

pick up this show. That's what I'm

5:08

about. That's what I'm talking about. And this could be

5:10

a possibility, this could be I

5:13

don't know, man. This is why I think you've got a lot in your favor.

5:15

Okay, there's a lot of hype about the show.

5:17

I've never been on anything that You've got. Greg brand Lanny,

5:20

who's possibly the biggest show

5:22

runner in TV. He's the biggest TV

5:25

right producer right

5:27

now, if you ask me, no offense to Bill. But I don't

5:29

even know if Bill's listening. But um, Greg Lanny

5:32

is a powerhouse. I don't think

5:34

Greg gets knows. Um, So

5:36

I think you're and everyone's you know, people

5:38

are talking about this. It's in the Joel, You're

5:40

a pop culture expert. Aren't people so

5:42

excited about this? Yeah? Man, listen.

5:44

I listen to other podcasts of which I

5:46

have no relationship or association with,

5:49

and it's so funny to hear them talking like, yeah,

5:51

Don's gonna play the Professor

5:53

and we're talking costumes and designs,

5:56

and all my friends are chatting about it. Everyone's

5:58

real excited. I mean, PowerUP Girls. It's been

6:00

a main staple in the zeit guys for over

6:02

twenty years now, so to see it come to life, I

6:04

think it's exciting for people. Right. I'm

6:06

gonna say this to all the fans out there who are

6:09

true Powerpuff fans and everything. We're

6:12

sticking to the OG series. Okay,

6:14

so everything that happened in the OG

6:16

series is possible could happen

6:19

on our show. You know what

6:21

I mean? It's it's I

6:24

I for one, like you know me how

6:27

it comes when it comes to reading scripts, I don't

6:29

necessarily do it all the time. I

6:31

memorize my lines. Wow,

6:34

to the point where I can go do other things

6:36

now, like what do I have tomorrow? What time about

6:38

to be at work? Fine, I'll be there. I know exactly

6:41

what I need to do. Like, there's nothing that anyone

6:43

can do that'll throw me off in

6:46

my work for this job right now,

6:48

like I am in it to win it. Well, you've

6:50

also you're also I think,

6:52

newly energized and excited by the

6:55

jobs. So you're committed and you're not phoning

6:57

it in. You know, you're you're you're, you're all

6:59

in. Yeah, absolutely, man, it's

7:02

it's a blast. And my girls away, they're

7:04

not picking it up. Girls, dude, please don't

7:06

jinx us. But yeah, the girls. I'm not superstitious

7:08

like that. I think that you have to manifest it

7:10

and say it's going to happen. In it. Put it on the whiteboard,

7:13

Put it on the whiteboard, Act as if my stepmother

7:15

would say, act as if, act as if it's

7:17

happening. I have be the person

7:19

who had already happened to so you're just

7:22

living it. I have very very high

7:24

hopes, very very high hopes anyway,

7:26

and we're trying to make it look dope to like,

7:28

trying to make it be you

7:30

know, the CW's most

7:34

in a lot of ways authentic to the girls,

7:36

the original Powerpuff Girls, and also the

7:39

special effects, trying to be as dope of

7:41

special effects as we could possible. Well, you

7:43

sent me in a secret video that looked awesome.

7:46

I mean, even though you were just fucking around, it

7:49

looked awesome, and I was like, wow, that's

7:51

I mean, you must be you're like in heaven. This is like your

7:53

fucking dream situation. I mean, besides

7:56

being in a Star Wars thing, this is like your dream

7:58

situation. Well, the rector, Maggie,

8:01

she's amazing. Diablo is amazing,

8:03

Like the girls are amazing, you

8:05

know, the cast is amazing. I'm just

8:08

you know, I sound like an amazing geek

8:10

right now. No, you sound like a happy person. And

8:12

you know what, after a year of being

8:14

a hermit in the pandemic, it's

8:16

in it wonderful and we should be so

8:19

grateful that we're able to go back to work

8:21

and do what we love. And I feel very

8:23

grateful that I get to be making cheaper by

8:25

the dozen. I yeah, but how's it

8:27

going? I love it? Man, I'm the same

8:29

way. I mean, this is too good to be true. I

8:31

love these these kids are so cute and they're

8:34

so smart, and I just love

8:36

I love working with them, I love the director.

8:39

Um it's it's a great script. I

8:41

just think, you know, I

8:44

end the day when we when we're done, you know, doing

8:46

whatever scenes we did the day going like this is just gonna

8:48

be so perfect for families. It's it's it's

8:50

the ultimate thing you can watch with your whole family,

8:52

you know. I know parents. I'm

8:55

not a parent, but I know parents are always looking for what's

8:57

that thing that my kids are gonna like that

8:59

I can watch with them and also enjoy. And

9:01

I just feel proud that I think, I think and

9:03

I hope that this is going to be that because I'm cracking

9:05

up and and it's a kids movie, you

9:07

know, but um, but the kids are hilarious.

9:10

I mean, they spent a year looking for these

9:12

children. They the whole pandemic. She was

9:15

director was searching all across North

9:17

America for these kids, and

9:20

and they're so talented and they cracked me up,

9:22

and um, I love them. There's there's the two

9:24

that I want to adopt. All right. I'm

9:27

sure they have parents, so I don't know if that's the past.

9:30

Of course the parents are. I mean, it's just the awesome

9:32

it's streaming. It's it's too gonna be true. By

9:34

the way, I gotta say, because Clay Aiken is in this

9:36

episode, we're gonna do before we get into

9:38

the episode. Are you guys watching American

9:41

Idol this year? It is so good,

9:44

like I've never watched I haven't watched

9:46

American Idol in years, but I don't know if

9:48

there's a new director or new producer.

9:51

They had to figure out how to do it without really

9:53

a much of an audience, so they in

9:56

the redesign, they built

9:58

this beautiful set in the light being

10:00

in the camera work and the

10:02

projections, like it's beautiful. And

10:04

then I don't remember ever watching American isiold

10:06

where there's like legit eight people

10:08

that could win. I mean, really,

10:10

okay, dude, I'm telling you. Listen,

10:13

Listener, listen, listener,

10:16

listen, go back. If

10:18

you just want to wat this will air on Tuesday.

10:20

If you want to just want to start with last week's episodes.

10:23

I found them on Hulu. I mean,

10:25

you can't believe there's one sixteen year

10:27

old girl who has the sickest rock

10:29

and roll voice and you're just you cut to Lionel

10:32

Ritchie with his jaw on the floor. I

10:34

mean, they are. There's so much talent and

10:36

it's just exciting to watch. I'm so invested because

10:39

I love watching

10:41

talent that no one's discovered before. And there's

10:43

just some really really talented people and

10:46

I'm really enjoying it. So I highly recommend

10:48

they have Lionel Richie Night where they sing nothing but Lionel

10:50

Richie songs. Maybe they will, but he's actually

10:52

a really good judge and mentor

10:55

is a good mentor. He doesn't really mentor

10:58

them. I guess he does mentor them. He gives them at the

11:00

point in the competition where they perform and you know

11:02

America is voting, but then the judges

11:04

give them their tips. You know. It's a much kindler, gentler

11:06

version than the Simon Cowell version, where

11:09

which was funny, but this isn't that isn't

11:11

really the way anymore. And Simon was trying

11:13

to get Simon was trying to get that show number

11:15

one ratings, so he'd just say whatever he wanted to

11:17

say. Well, I mean I really liked that, actually,

11:19

I thought even though even even I

11:22

thought he was funny. And but

11:24

I think in this kindler, gentler era, it's

11:26

not really what people want anymore.

11:29

Um but but so they aren't really

11:31

criticizing so much as they're the

11:33

cheerleaders, the coaches, and they they'll

11:35

say positive things they don't really say at this point,

11:38

they don't really say anything negative. Um

11:40

but it doesn't matter. It's just it's just it's

11:42

just I don't know, it's it's it's again. It's

11:44

something like Cheaper by the dozen that you can watch

11:46

with your kids, and um,

11:49

it's so wholesome and I like,

11:52

I literally cry. I mean, it's just so you

11:54

watch someone get up there and kill

11:56

it and it's just and they they they

11:58

this is the biggest moment of the life and they kill it.

12:00

It's just I'm happy for them. I hear that.

12:03

I gotta tell you, I

12:05

am not watching American Idol, but I'd

12:08

love that you have found something that is I'm

12:10

telling you you'd like shows where

12:12

people who get their shot succeed.

12:15

Absolutely. I'm one of those people who

12:17

loves to see people succeed when

12:20

they're given the opportunity. Right, well,

12:22

I love that. This is my pitch for American Idol.

12:25

All right, we have Schae Serrano on the show, which

12:27

is very exciting to address

12:29

the out of order thing. For those of you that missed

12:32

it, the live show aired on Thursday.

12:34

For those of you who who weren't there, I hope

12:36

you enjoyed it. And now we're going

12:38

a little bit more back out of order as we do

12:41

My life and four cameras because we wanted to

12:44

have Shae Serrano on for this one because it's one

12:46

of his favorites. And then here going

12:48

forward, we should be back in order, correct

12:50

you, Well, that is absolutely correct. All right,

12:52

welling,

12:55

So all of you out there that are hating and are so

12:57

annoyed by us bumping and jumping around

12:59

and stuff like that, your wish has been

13:01

granted. We are now back in order. Yeah,

13:03

I'm sure you'll find something else to hate. Yeah,

13:06

Donald, you just stop reading those comments, dude,

13:08

the comments like, real, dude, your life

13:10

is too good to be getting upset by Instagram.

13:13

I just want sometimes I want that smoke though,

13:15

you know what I mean? Something I really don't want the smoke.

13:17

But sometimes I'm like smoke.

13:20

Sometimes I got you know what I mean? Sometimes

13:23

I got that time. You know what I mean? There are

13:25

days where I got time. You know what I'm saying. Listen,

13:27

Every once in a while, you need to remind

13:29

me, and I need to remind you that you

13:32

cannot let one person

13:35

comments on Instagram upset

13:37

you. Oh I don't let it upset me. I just I

13:39

just block them so they can't see what but you said you got

13:42

you got quote unquote all smoked up

13:44

or something. Yeah, No, I didn't get all smoked up. I just

13:46

had time that day. I

13:48

had time that day. You want they

13:51

caught me sometimes, you know, to catch me when

13:53

I'm out and about with my kids. You know, I don't

13:55

really got time. But yesterday, pimp,

13:57

Pimp squiller, I had time for you

14:00

know what I'm saying. I want to say, Cashmius. How

14:02

about that? No, I don't want to say catch

14:04

me outside because did you run into people? And it's

14:06

some people? Do you know? When did

14:09

I tell you? When we did it wasn't family

14:11

feud. When we were rehearsing

14:14

um for Cheaper by

14:16

the dozen on the paramounts lot,

14:19

I went to the restroom, and all of a

14:21

sudden, I went around a corner and I was

14:23

in the Doctor Phil hallway.

14:25

I was in the cashmi outside, how about that hallway?

14:28

Get out here? Yeah. I

14:30

didn't know who to tell, but I was like, guys, guys,

14:33

to myself, how

14:35

about that hallway? That

14:40

girl made a career. Doctor Phil gave that young

14:42

lady a courage though she's I mean,

14:44

I just saw on something on the news that she's

14:46

coming back and saying, I guess they sent her

14:49

after the show to some troubled teen

14:51

experience where you go into a camp and they

14:54

and they, you know, tough love kind of thing, and

14:56

she was saying that it was a horrible

14:58

experience and they were abusive. Um

15:01

and so so I just saw she's

15:03

still she's still coming, She's still on the

15:05

major come up. Man, she definitely turned.

15:07

I would have gotten it wrong that the cashman

15:10

I saw, how about that girl would have a big music career,

15:12

But it sounds like she did it. Yeah, she did it.

15:14

Did so as a banger, we should get

15:16

into the She got a couple of them where I'm like, yeah,

15:18

she got a couple of them where I'm like, okay, girl,

15:20

all right, we should get into the show before we do. Are

15:22

you watching these TikTok videos I send you? Because

15:25

some of them, do you laugh? I don't know. You

15:27

don't know I laugh out

15:29

loud. Some of them that you send me are very

15:32

uh provocative.

15:35

I should say, well, there's one that I don't

15:37

understand. This woman that there's a trend where

15:39

they danced to this song. I'm gonna

15:42

stay it in a way that might be um

15:44

be appropriate in case your kids are on the car. The

15:46

song lyrics appear to be if

15:49

we copulate whilst

15:52

I'm enjoying this percoset, I'm

15:56

gonna do such a good job that you

15:59

your gonna tell you it will be

16:02

quite lubricated. Oh everyone

16:09

know what this gend is? Oh no?

16:11

And then people are dancing to the song,

16:14

yeah, as you do, but

16:17

like in in in their underwear. I

16:19

17:29

listen. There have been other guests, but there have not been

17:31

any Chase serrounds. Well,

17:34

you know, congratulations to you guys.

17:36

I keep seeing y'all's names pop up and all these news

17:39

articles with cool stuff happening in your careers.

17:41

That's cool. I'm telling people now, like y'all

17:43

are my friends. I'm like, sh

17:47

I saw that you got a nice little uh

17:50

jersey from the San Antonio

17:53

Spurs. But it came and I popped up in a box

17:55

and stuff like that Spurs that's

17:57

a and that's a that's an official jersey too,

18:00

right, yeah, yeah, yeah. My

18:02

buddy works for the team or works

18:04

with the team. He does all of the media stuff

18:06

and whatever whatever. So when the

18:08

new when they put out the Fiesta jerseys, which we have

18:11

been asking for for years. I

18:13

hit him up and I said, Hey, where do I buy one of these? And

18:15

he said, don't worry about it, just check your mailbox

18:18

in like six months while I was in

18:20

there, and then it was in there. It

18:22

took a while, but it got here and I love it still.

18:25

Man. They're not doing that well this year. Man, that's

18:27

okay. They're having a tough one. And you know,

18:30

I'm gonna tell you something. I love Damar DeRozan. I

18:32

think he needs a one punch though,

18:34

you know what I mean, Like he's a two now. He's

18:36

not the one anymore, you know what I mean. I feel like I

18:39

feel like I don't feel like he's I don't feel like

18:41

he's over the hill. But I feel like in today's

18:43

NBA he's better. He'll score

18:46

more if he's the second option and

18:48

they don't focus on him as much, you know what

18:50

I mean. Like Lebron isn't necessarily

18:53

the one anymore. Ad is you know you

18:55

know what I mean? Working on it. We're working on it. Dejonte,

18:58

Derek Lannie, We're working on it. Killed.

19:00

Yeah, you got some young talent. I just wish

19:03

I just wish that San Antonio would

19:05

make moves like they did back in that day. It seems

19:07

like, you know, I

19:10

don't know. I think Pop should stay around forever,

19:12

and if Pop leaves, I think Becky Hammond should

19:14

be the first female coach,

19:17

you know what I mean? Like then Becky, Yeah,

19:19

that's a that's a that's a misconception though,

19:21

Like the Spurs never were like a marquee

19:24

free agent place. LaMarcus was the first

19:26

time we got a big name like that, Tam

19:29

Duncan, because you guys got David Robinson

19:31

got injured and you guys came in

19:33

last place, and then you got Tim Duncan in

19:36

the draft. That's Tim, Tony

19:38

Manu yeah, Toni and Manu uh.

19:41

And then after that, yeah, you

19:43

know, you've gone to European They've

19:45

gone to European route for the most part, and LaMarcus

19:48

Alders was their biggest pickup. All right, Kawhi,

19:50

But you had Kawhi too and you let them go. I

19:52

can only I can only humans

19:55

myself for so long time,

19:59

too much to be included. I

20:01

gave you your minute. I gave you your minute of speaking

20:04

in your secret tongues. Although

20:08

you'll be happy to know Shay that I am one degree

20:10

of separation from d Wade, who

20:13

now owns the Utah Jazz. I

20:15

think it's safe to say that we are not friends

20:17

yet, but I have big plans for our friends

20:20

soon enough. It's coming out. Yes, um

20:24

so, Shay, we wanted to have you on because we always

20:26

ask Shay listeners because he is

20:29

a wonderful writer and love Scrubs

20:31

and always says the thing's

20:34

way more articulate than Donald

20:36

and I and I always at the beginning of the season

20:38

say Shay, which episode of season

20:41

of this season do you want to come on? And

20:43

he, without hesitation, said, my life

20:45

and four cameras. And it really is a special

20:48

episode. I gotta say, I didn't

20:50

remember the specifics of it, but

20:52

it is so clever and well done

20:54

and funny. There's

20:56

a lot of funny moments that's absolutely

20:59

right. Each time y'all invite me on, which, as

21:01

you said, is once this season, I try

21:03

and pick an episode that A I like a lot, and

21:06

B maybe a little more importantly, will

21:09

let me talk about a specific piece

21:11

or two of greatness within Scrubs. You

21:14

know something that Scrubs did in a way that other shows

21:16

either weren't doing yet or couldn't

21:19

do as well. So yeah, when you hit me up

21:21

and you asked, and I said, oh, we're doing season four, it's got

21:23

to be my life in four cameras

21:25

because that episode, that episode

21:28

really has two very wonderful

21:30

parson it that I was hoping that three of us could

21:33

talk about Number one. Obviously, this

21:35

is the this is one of the high concept

21:37

episodes that Scrubs put out. I

21:39

just want to explain to people because I always

21:42

find out there's some people that aren't super clear on the

21:44

distinction between single camera and multi

21:46

camera or four cameras in this case, So

21:48

I just want to just quickly delineate that

21:50

for people. So when you hear a traditional sitcom,

21:53

the old school kind like Friends

21:56

or How I Met Your Mother's or Cheers,

21:59

their shot like a play. There's an audience,

22:01

they have four or so cameras,

22:04

and it's like you're doing a play in front

22:06

of an audience. Um, and that's how

22:09

half hour comedies were always made up

22:12

until a certain point when the what's

22:14

called the single camera comedy started

22:16

to come out. Um. And my

22:18

earliest from which is not in front of lives, he

22:21

shot like a movie like Scrubs. Um.

22:23

My earliest memory was one called um

22:27

what was the one? Um? Uh? The

22:29

I was about a kid um in high school.

22:32

No, Wonder Years was a very early one. But before

22:35

Lewis Can't Lose? Do you remember that show? I never watched

22:37

it, but it was Did

22:40

you ever watch that, Shay? I did not? Yeah,

22:43

just in my memory as a as a TV lover,

22:46

it was. It was the start of Marca

22:48

Lewis Can't Lose? Okay, that was the first comedy

22:51

I remembered that wasn't like shot in front of a live

22:53

audience. And then Wonder Years was you

22:55

know, a dramedy comedy. But um, but

22:57

again breaking the mold of of what that

23:00

half hour it could be. Alan mcbel

23:03

Yeah, Ali mcpeel may have been an hour show,

23:05

right, I don't remember, Not that it matters,

23:08

but um but anyway, So so

23:10

there you go. That's that's just the rough difference.

23:12

And you know the sitcom is is is

23:15

it even more heightened reality because you're

23:17

pausing for laughs And as we all know,

23:19

sometimes people kiss and the audience goes ooh,

23:22

and then someone comes in and they applause.

23:24

They have entrance applause, and it's like seeing

23:26

a comedic play. Yes, Donald, I gotta go

23:29

back, though. I think I think we're missing

23:31

a lot of sitcoms that were single

23:33

cam from back in a day, like Mash,

23:37

Gilligan's Island. Uh, those

23:40

were all single camera shows shot

23:43

right now now. Donald's

23:45

talking about a bit of a hybrid. If you like Ganja,

23:48

you know, there's Sativa Indica,

23:50

and then there's hybrids. Um,

23:53

there are hybrids like Mash and where

23:57

they had a laugh track, I think some

23:59

man Actually they tried doing an audience that

24:01

for some reason, I know this tidbit, and then they

24:04

went back and forth and then they shot

24:06

it like a single camera show, but added the laugh

24:08

track because the audience back

24:10

in the day sort of was used

24:12

to the style of where is the laugh?

24:14

The laugh tells us when to laugh? In so many

24:16

words, interesting tidbit about Mash, Donald

24:19

Shit, Joel Daniel.

24:22

They didn't have the laugh track whenever they

24:24

were in surgery. Did

24:26

you know that? I did not know. If you go back and watch

24:29

Mash, they have a laugh track now, a laugh track again

24:31

for those of you who is just fake laughter.

24:33

It m shows like like

24:36

Mash would have a laugh track, even though they weren't from an audience.

24:38

Or Gilligan's Island example a good example. Donald

24:41

certain shows are still sitcoms, but they just

24:44

never brought bringing an audience. I remember an alf

24:46

being an example because spoilers,

24:49

Alf isn't real. He's a puppet and pretty

24:52

hard to have an audience. Sorry, Daniel

24:54

Danel Alf

24:57

was a puppet Alf. Yeah.

25:00

We always talk about Max right hating alf. I love that.

25:03

Oh, there's something special

25:05

about Max Wright, the father who played in

25:07

the family hating Alfry.

25:14

So now that we have the clear delineations and this

25:16

this episode is meant to be an homage

25:18

to the four camera sitcom

25:20

Shay continue. Sorry. So, so this

25:23

is one of the first This is one

25:25

of the high concept episodes that y'all did,

25:27

and in fact, this is like the first

25:29

big one, which is part of the reason it was so impactful.

25:32

You have this one in season four, you have a

25:34

Wizard of Oz in season five, the musical

25:36

in season six, Fairytal in season seven, Sesame

25:39

Street in season eight. Hadn't happened before

25:41

this one, like, not on this scale, and then it happened

25:44

in every season afterward. So this episode

25:46

is a is a legacy marker, really,

25:49

and beyond that, it's just an extremely good

25:51

episode. You took all of the stuff that Scrubs

25:53

normally did, the jokes, the

25:56

twists, the thing where you make everyone feel

25:58

safe and happy, and then you drop a fucking

26:01

four hundred pound anvil of sadness on

26:03

my head. Like you took all of that and you turned

26:06

it into this multicam sitcom

26:08

and the crazy thing is like rewatching

26:10

it even now. It never felt like y'all

26:12

were doing it in a mean spirited

26:15

way. It was never like our show is

26:17

better than these shows. Right, that's all

26:19

said. Well, you know that's well said shape because

26:21

you know, Bill Lawrence came

26:24

up and sitcoms. He loves sitcoms. He still makes it

26:26

comes um that he's got it. He's

26:28

got a new one coming out ahead of the Class

26:30

remake coming out. So so he was

26:32

never like, oh, let's make fun of these our show

26:35

is better. The attitude was like, obviously,

26:37

we're we're we're laughing with it because they are

26:39

heightened and they are silly. The whole entrance applause,

26:42

the whole uh you know, audience going

26:44

oh all that stuff. But but by

26:46

the way, in rewatching this sitcom

26:48

version of this, I still found it very funny.

26:51

I mean I was laughing, not I

26:53

was laughing genuinely, not just at it, you

26:55

know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it felt

26:57

It felt to me like like

27:00

when you watched Scream. You remember going

27:02

to the theater and watching Scream, and when

27:04

you left you were like, man, whoever made that

27:06

movie fucking loved horror

27:09

movies like love And that's what That's

27:11

what this feels like. Here felt like a bunch of

27:13

people said, hey, you know what, I want to

27:15

write a love letter to the sitcoms that I grew up

27:17

watching. That meant a lot to me. Let's

27:20

do that. And then y'all made this

27:22

episode. So there's that piece of it, the

27:25

sort of obvious piece. The second part this

27:28

is this is a really great Turk

27:30

and Carla relationship episode. I absolutely

27:33

agree with you. Yes, right, I think I think

27:35

I may have mentioned this before. I know I've

27:37

written it before. I can't remember if we talked about it on here

27:39

or not, But Turk and Carla are my favorite

27:42

TV couple that's ever been. They're they're

27:44

higher up on the list than than Jim

27:46

and Pam, than from the Office

27:49

than Drey and Rainbow from Blackish

27:51

Korean to Panga Boy meets World, Jake

27:53

and Amy and Brooklyn nine and nine whoever like David

27:56

and Patrick and Shitt's Creek uncle

27:58

Phil and both of the on vivs that relationship.

28:04

Yeah, yeah, Uncle Phil might be my favorite father

28:06

figure for sure, for sure.

28:08

Yeah, and and the you

28:11

go into i mean, just speak to a minute, why what what

28:14

resonates for you as a lover of TV

28:16

comedy so much about that couple? You know

28:18

what it is? They just do such

28:21

a good job. I'm going to say they like I'm talking about

28:23

Turk like it's a different person than Donald's

28:25

because it's just easier for me to absolutely

28:27

they do. They do such a good job of

28:30

showing how relationships are a

28:32

supposed to be a little bit bumpy and b

28:35

how that bumpiness is precisely how

28:37

you know a couple is supposed to be together and

28:40

that they're in love. Because with Turk and Carlo, no matter

28:42

what happens, when we get to that inflection

28:44

point, when we get to one of those moments where

28:47

one of them really has to show up for the other

28:49

one, they they always come

28:51

through and it's really hard to do that on

28:54

a show in a way that feels

28:56

real, because you can't just write

28:58

the words on the page, like you need two actors

29:01

who can be warm with one another and

29:03

vulnerable with one another and funny with one another.

29:06

Like a lot of times, if two characters are

29:08

in a relationship on a TV show and

29:10

they get into an argument or a fight, or they have a stretch

29:12

where it's supposed to be they're supposed to be struggling when

29:15

the audience is watching it, it starts to feel

29:17

like, man, y'all should just just break

29:19

up already, this isn't worth it. And it never

29:21

feels like that With Turk and Carla.

29:23

It always feels like they're headed in the right

29:25

direction. You know. Any argument that they have or

29:29

disagreement or fight is like

29:31

a disguise. It's a chance for them to get

29:33

to know something else about the other person, to

29:35

become closer with that

29:37

other person. I think my favorite

29:40

favorite overall moment actually

29:43

happens a couple of episodes after this one, when

29:45

Carlo goes to visit her mom's grave site and

29:47

Turk and Carlo by this point, I've been in a respot for a

29:49

bit and Turk shows up at the end and he tries

29:52

to reconcile with her and she's like I'm

29:54

not ready, like not yet, and he's

29:56

just you see him beat up about it. He's like okay, and

29:58

he gets ready to leave and she's

30:00

like, wait, can you just sit with me for a minute? And he

30:02

stays and like that little moment.

30:04

This is twenty five thirty seconds,

30:07

but you see them go through so many different,

30:09

like real life emotions. It

30:11

just feels like you're watching an actual, real

30:13

relationship on TV. And it's great. It's

30:16

it's it's it's wonderful. You know,

30:18

Shay I wrote in this episode, uh

30:20

for this one. Uh, Carla and

30:23

Turk crush cute in this episode,

30:25

Like absolutely even know they're having a hard

30:28

time with their relationship.

30:30

They're so fucking cute. Her

30:32

being jealous of j D and

30:35

his and his Jungle Fever relationship,

30:38

are licking him, him, singing him,

30:40

singing, uh, the Sam Fond and Sun

30:42

theme song, the arm wrestling,

30:45

and then when they decide, Joe, you know what,

30:48

let's kiss three times a day. And

30:51

then when they do it the first time right

30:53

here, let's let's make this. You know, they're

30:55

just so cute. Uh

30:58

and and and you're what

31:00

they go through at the end of it. You

31:02

never feel like they're going to break up. You feel

31:05

more like, oh, wow, they went through a journey together

31:07

exactly and they figured something out.

31:09

Well. That's what I think I really like about

31:12

what Chase said too, is that it isn't

31:14

like, for dramatic TV show

31:16

reasons, we're going to always have you feel like they're

31:18

on the edge of a breaking up. It's

31:21

a real reality thing for a couple, especially

31:23

a newly wed couple settling

31:25

into the reality of being in

31:28

a lifelong commitment with each other and then watching

31:31

JD with some you know, in the puppy

31:33

dog phase of a relationship where he's

31:35

just like, we're we're racing to

31:37

kiss each other, you know, every day, and how

31:40

that lands with a couple that's kind of like,

31:42

oh, is there something wrong with us that we're not

31:44

doing that anymore? And all the things

31:46

that are very real and I think all people can relate

31:48

to but but but done in in a TV comedy

31:51

way. But I think that's right. It's it feels

31:53

very relatable to people. And what's

31:57

really what's really impressive about the performance

31:59

in this episode I think is we watch them do two

32:01

different versions of it. We watched them do the

32:03

serious one. They have that that really

32:05

great moment. Again, it's a fast it's

32:07

like three seconds there on screen, but they're sitting

32:10

on the couch and they don't say anything and he just

32:12

reaches his hand out and she puts her

32:14

hand in his, and it's like, like,

32:16

I've done that exact thing. You don't know what

32:18

to say. All that you wanted, all

32:21

that you know is you need to let the other person know, I'm we're

32:23

in this together. Like, so you have them doing that,

32:25

but then you also have them doing the like hokey,

32:28

silly version of it in the sitcom

32:31

itself, they're doing both of them at the

32:33

same time. It's great. And like

32:35

the start of the episode when you have Turk singing

32:37

the Sanford ands On song, Yeah, let's get it, let's

32:40

start, let's start, let's start. Nope,

32:43

I don't think anybody on the show is better

32:46

at being funny and a tiny amount of space than Turk

32:48

is. Like, he has an extremely high

32:51

player efficiency rating. We're gonna go back

32:53

to basketball, like the average

32:55

the average, Yeah, the average

32:57

player efficiency rating the NBA is like fifteen,

33:00

Turk is up there in the twenty five, twenty six, twenty

33:02

seven range with with MJ and

33:05

Lebron and Shack and Wilt like he

33:08

needs this much spaces

33:11

up there, wights up there trying

33:13

to get in my smart I.

33:16

Uh. I loved the fact that

33:18

Turk was a huge Sandford and Sun fan,

33:20

because a lot of my comedy

33:22

comes from Red Fox and stuff. You know,

33:24

he he probably he's

33:27

the king, right, It was him, then

33:30

Richard, then Eddie, and then

33:32

you know what I mean, George, and

33:34

then you know, uh and then now we

33:36

have a bunch of people who pretty

33:39

much copy those those uh

33:42

four George, Eddie, Richard

33:46

and Red you know what I'm saying, And so

33:48

I love it. In the beginning of this episode, we're clearly

33:50

setting up, um the love

33:53

of sitcoms that we have, and it's

33:55

very meta because we're

33:57

we're we're a comedic show that people

34:00

watch to be cheered up and

34:02

to take their mind off things

34:04

and to have a source

34:06

of humor when when they need cheering

34:09

up. And the episode starts

34:11

with us so excited to gather around and

34:13

watch Sandford and the Sun, and then

34:16

it's book ended really beautifully after the end

34:18

of this, you know, act long

34:20

fantasy with j D after

34:23

such a stressful day getting

34:25

comfort from watching from

34:28

comedy. So it's very, very, very meta because

34:30

you know, people told us over the years. Every

34:34

day Donald and I get messages about how

34:37

this show helped them through difficult

34:39

times in their life. And I mean

34:41

I've had people say it saved their lives. They were just

34:44

they were down in the dumps and they just binge Scrubs

34:46

and it and it cheered them up. And of course that

34:48

means so much to us. But I was very moved

34:50

at the end that the show sort of

34:53

in a very meta way ends with JD needing

34:55

to be cheered up and he's comforted by TV

34:57

comedy, just like Scrubs is for other

34:59

people. Bo Yeah, I well,

35:03

you know, I think we all have that in us. There's

35:06

something that you grew up on. I know, I

35:08

know it. There's something on television that

35:10

you grew up on that makes

35:13

that made you feel comfortable no matter

35:15

what you know, and you find it as adults

35:18

now like Zach, you're really into documentaries

35:20

now this is your comfort food. My wife

35:23

is into forty eight hours and freaking the next

35:25

you know, what I mean. Your wife is texting me being like, I'm out

35:27

of true crime docs. What you got right?

35:29

I'm serious, Like, it's

35:32

there's a comfort in finding your niche,

35:35

your niche on television, you know, whatever

35:37

it is that you watch. There's comfort

35:39

in knowing, well, you know what, I had a stressful day,

35:41

but I can unwind and watch what

35:44

I love. Yeah, you know, you know it's wild

35:46

is that. I'm I'm gonna bet

35:48

that everybody who goes

35:51

and turns on this podcast to listen to this thing like

35:53

Scrubs is a show that does that for them. I

35:56

know That's how it is for me. Like after a

35:58

tough week, I'm like, man, let me watch like six

36:00

episodes of Scrubs and fall asleep

36:02

on the couch, and that's gonna make me just feel

36:04

better. You know that makes me so happy, especially,

36:07

I mean, I love we love hearing that from anyone,

36:09

but from someone like you who really

36:11

knows television and really knows TV

36:14

comedy. Um, that makes us feel extra

36:16

special. So let's just dive in. Um,

36:18

I laughed out loud. Donald. Do you remember the

36:21

first of all, when you sing the Sanford and Sun song

36:23

with your own lyrics? Was that was

36:25

that written? Or did you make that up? A? Okay,

36:28

so Bill made Bill made up the song?

36:30

Right, Bill made up? Buy

36:33

it down? Now it is time

36:35

to watch the show. Yes, it started

36:39

don't be licking me no More? And

36:41

then I made up mad of fact, could

36:43

you get me a handy? Why it's

36:48

so funny? Now? Did you have did

36:50

they? I was just wondering you probably not gonna remember,

36:53

but like, did you did they play you the song? Because

36:55

you're singing it in the key perfectly

36:58

and we didn't have it on set, so

37:00

I'm sure I went back and redid

37:03

it in post.

37:06

You wouldn't have been able to because your lips. I mean, while

37:08

you're saying the key, you think the key?

37:10

Yeah, because I just was impressed that you

37:12

you're singing an acapella. But then your

37:15

tempo and the key are the

37:17

exact right thing for the melody. Well,

37:19

you could change the tempo easily, but you can,

37:22

and you can change. Maybe

37:27

we just know that song so well that you

37:29

just can find the key. Yeah, you

37:31

know, I, like I said, one of my

37:33

favorites. It's very funny. You made me

37:35

laugh and um, matter

37:38

of fact, can you get me a handy? Wipe. Now,

37:40

I think of all the memes and gifts

37:43

that get sent to Donald and I on social

37:45

media and that I see on the web. One of the most

37:47

common of all is the arm wrestling

37:49

bit. Okay, now this this was ad libbed

37:51

completely by all Right, tell me tell

37:54

the story because clearly, clearly

37:56

it goes without saying fans love this moment.

37:59

Okay. So there's a movie called The Warriors

38:02

came out We've spoken about a long time ago,

38:04

right, Warriors come out and

38:06

play right, And in

38:08

it there's this uh gang

38:11

called the Orphans, and

38:13

the Warriors tangle with the

38:15

Orphans and kind of get their asses kicked

38:18

by these by this gang. Right,

38:20

And as they're leaving, this one

38:24

character like looks like the character that you

38:26

look like, punch in the face and they crumble

38:29

easily. Goes you see what you

38:31

get? Warriors the

38:36

Orphans. And

38:38

I was, you know, do you know the movie as well? He does.

38:41

Yeah, it's a great movie. And

38:43

so when I saw that in my in

38:45

my neighborhood. You know, I grew up in Hell's

38:48

Kitchen. Warriors like is

38:50

New York City, So like people that

38:52

lived in my building starred in The

38:54

Warriors. You know that it was. It

38:57

wasn't just warriors. I

38:59

actually knew people that were warriors that

39:01

lived to the end too. It was amazing,

39:04

right, And uh so

39:07

this was like one of those movies that we always

39:09

quoted, you know, like uh, Ajax

39:12

running and he's like and other dudes

39:14

like, oh, I don't think I could make it. I'm

39:16

tired, and he goes good because

39:19

I'm sick of running from these whimps and turns

39:21

around it just starts making people

39:23

knocking people out, right, Like I just loved

39:26

that movie growing up, and uh

39:28

and this was an opportunity. I

39:31

knew I needed to do something here, and

39:34

you know, I was like,

39:36

I'll call on the warriors and I did. So

39:39

it's so funny because Jad and Kylie

39:42

are being so adorable and cute, see just

39:44

like a new couple rubbing noses and oh,

39:46

you beat me. And then what shows

39:48

the contrast to to Turk and Carlin

39:51

Moore than that Cameron Dolly's over and he's

39:53

you don't just you don't just win, dude, you slam

39:55

her arm. She

39:59

was well, I told her

40:01

when I told her I was gonna do it, right. I told

40:04

Judy that I was gonna do it. So she even

40:06

acts like I slam her hand

40:09

down, Like really, all I just do is this right?

40:11

You know, put my hand down real fast. She

40:13

sells it with the prep fall of the falling

40:16

out of screen and stuff. I thought. I

40:18

was like, I was like, well, he really fucking nailed

40:20

her. And then I thought, actually it was an Ultimate

40:23

Warrior WWF thing. I didn't know your Warriors.

40:26

No, it was from actually the movie The Warriors.

40:29

Well that's fucking hilarious, dude, I laughed

40:31

out loud. Now I also laughed out loud when um

40:33

Kylie, Yeah, I made

40:36

that up. We don't on an improv we're

40:38

on an improv role this day because

40:41

she comes over Monday, Wednesday, Friday she takes

40:43

a cab over here, and Tuesday Thursday, I scooted

40:45

it to my baby man. Yeah,

40:55

I j D.

40:57

I mean other than Elliott, I don't think he's been this

41:00

crazy about a girl, right, you know

41:02

he's really into her. Yeah, but that's because

41:05

she's a master kisser, you know

41:07

what I mean? To be able to keep because

41:09

to be able to keep somebody that

41:12

low, You guys are in a relationship. You're not sleeping

41:14

together yet, you know all, you do know

41:17

that maybe some time has passed and she finally

41:19

let me have sex. I don't know. Well this is this, Well

41:21

the episode after after this,

41:23

you get kicked out of the apartment and she's

41:25

like you should leave. I'm sorry, I'm

41:28

cut. You are correct because we went out of order. I'm

41:30

sorry. Yes, we are, we are, we are.

41:32

We are only kissing her. Yeah. And so to

41:35

be able to keep somebody around that

41:38

long, whether it be male or female,

41:40

without giving up the but

41:44

you got to be a chance a lot. You have to tickle

41:46

their brain with conversation and

41:49

right whatever it is, but then with imagination

41:51

of what it's going to be like, and then the kissing

41:54

is phenomenal. Yeah. But also,

41:56

I mean it's so it's such a it's so

41:58

exciting, right, like dragged something

42:00

out that long and have it just be Oh

42:03

my god, what's gonna happen when we finally do. I'll

42:06

tell you what's going to happen in

42:08

a couple of seconds. Okay, thank

42:12

you, Donald, That's what I'm talking about.

42:15

Say, we have a soundboard since you were last on. It

42:17

allows me to play I'm

42:19

aware. Do

42:21

you do y'all ever do a thing? Where

42:24

you're watching something or you're like super into it anything

42:27

a TV show, movie, an album, you just

42:29

like start looking for meaning

42:32

and maybe moments where there isn't like

42:34

a deeper meaning because this, this

42:36

is what happened to me when I was watching rewatching

42:38

it to get ready for this is they have the shot

42:41

that you were just talking about where it's j D and

42:44

Kylie and Turk and Carla and they're all

42:46

at once and you see this like new

42:48

young, happy couple being all love you, kissing and

42:50

flirty. And then you see the like

42:52

you know, years later version of it, and when

42:55

you're watching it, you're like if if you don't

42:57

know any better, you go, oh, this is like what you

42:59

should aspire to. Is what's on what's happening on the

43:01

left, and you don't realize only

43:03

one of these couples is going to make it through

43:05

the end of the seat, like they're gonna end up together,

43:07

and it's the one on the right, whether they're whether

43:10

not like playing or or they're

43:12

just being very truthful with one another. Turk

43:14

is doing his thing, Carla looks

43:16

absolutely fed up with it, but like she kind

43:18

of expected it as well, Like you know what I'm saying,

43:21

and she's like, oh, this is this is what you

43:23

should be trying to get to, not this fake version

43:25

over here, right, that's fake shit. I

43:28

agree with you that fake shit never works. And it's

43:30

and it's and it's a freaking it's

43:32

not only a phase. There's a there's

43:34

a it's a bit also, you

43:37

know. Yeah, it's like it's we're being

43:39

fake. It's not fake. There's something

43:42

when something's brand new we've

43:44

all experienced. There's just you're you can

43:47

you're just intoxicated, you're drunk on on

43:49

the fun of something new. Then. But that's but that's not

43:51

real. That's not a committed

43:54

relationship over years that takes

43:56

work, as we all know. But I don't I think

43:58

I don't. I wouldn't say that it's not real. It's just it's

44:01

you're high. I feel like if you do that

44:03

type of stuff in front of people, you're doing

44:05

a bit. That's just me personally. I

44:09

feel like when I see a young couples,

44:11

like out at a restaurant doing something like that, I'm

44:14

just like, just send

44:16

me a text after y'all too getting your first fight about

44:18

like the mortgage payment, and let me let

44:20

me let me know what life looks like right then,

44:23

right, yeah, yeah, but we've all been

44:25

there. I'm not saying you're in public going no, you're the doodle

44:27

bug, but you know, all

44:33

right, so then there's the crowd all shows up because

44:35

if there's an E. Coli scare and

44:37

everybody in town

44:40

wherever this takes place thinks they have it and

44:43

and which is very much like what happened

44:46

early on in in

44:49

uh, what we just went through

44:51

this past year. In the beginning, it seemed like

44:53

the lines were like if you had a if you

44:55

had a sniffle, you would run to

44:57

the hospital, like, hey, look, we to

45:00

check to see if I got uh COVID.

45:02

I never went to the hospital, but I thought I had it like

45:05

ten times over the I would like feel

45:07

tired and be like, oh, this is it. I'm

45:11

abnormally tired. This is it. Yeah,

45:14

I'm sure that happened to you. Donald. Oh

45:16

absolutely, Jay. Did you ever think you had it over

45:18

the course of the pandemic? Um,

45:21

Yeah, anytime, Like if

45:23

I felt even one percent weird

45:25

about anything, or if I just saw

45:27

like a thing like if someone coughed on TV,

45:30

I'd be like, I think I got it. Now right. It

45:32

definitely definitely reached me. Yeah,

45:35

it was the same way. Um um

45:38

alright, So Jake, so JD

45:40

is crowdsurfing, which I thought was funny. He's crowdsurfing

45:43

all the people that think they have E. Coli. And

45:46

then I go, whoa, Grandma, that's my no fly

45:48

zone. Well not just that, this

45:50

has also cracked me up. I hope I don't have dog

45:52

flu. By the way, yes,

45:57

let me get a yes. Yes,

46:00

that is on Primetime TV. That is

46:02

a did JD fuck rowdy joke?

46:04

Yes? Yes? Because

46:11

yeah, which is so crazy that that that

46:13

got true. I don't think the censors God not

46:17

just as a dead dead dead

46:20

joke. The

46:22

censor. The censor yawned during that

46:24

moment, and it didn't catch the joke because

46:28

Cox says, you know, some of these flues these

46:30

people think they have, you'd actually have to copulate

46:32

with the animal in order to get it. He's being

46:35

sarcastic. I imagine who knows. And

46:37

then he leaves and Jad's like, hope, I don't

46:39

have dog flu, which

46:42

means that jadrowdy probably

46:44

or I don't or a dog of some sort. No,

46:47

I don't think he's fucking random dogs. But first,

46:49

I don't think it's yeah only

46:54

I don't think. First of all, let's talk about it. Rowdy's a boy,

46:58

so this would mean that jey

47:01

Um had anal sex with Rowdy. Yes,

47:04

as I recall Rowdy's taxes, I

47:06

mean anis was non

47:08

existent. That doesn't mean

47:10

you can't cut a little hole. What

47:14

is happening right now? I don't know. We

47:20

don't have to cut it, but let's stop now. All right, Well,

47:22

I'm just saying I'm ladies and gentlemen

47:24

before you think we're going too far. There is a

47:26

joke where JD appears to be concerned

47:28

that he has dog flew from having tonight

47:35

on jokes that wouldn't be on the show in twenty

47:37

twenty one. All right, Um, so

47:41

no tongue before ten. That's a rule that you

47:43

and Carla have. That's

47:45

bullshit. But I don't

47:47

think you're really throwing tongue around with Casey before

47:49

ten. All right, that's I mean, I feel it may not be a rule,

47:52

but it's sort of like in practice, it's too early

47:54

for time. If I wake up in the morning, yeah,

47:57

and the mood is right, and she's into

47:59

the mood too, tongue about tongues

48:01

are going everywhere? Is

48:03

your scope involved or you or I

48:05

don't mind, I don't mind my wife one in breath,

48:08

Okay, you just go right in right

48:11

when you in love, you don't give a shit about that. You

48:14

can get past that. That's easy to get

48:16

past. I'm still

48:18

in the phase. I get up and have my morning pe I

48:20

just have a little shot of scope. So so my

48:22

breath's good. Okay, Well, good

48:25

for you. You guys are congratulations.

48:29

Um, allow me to present man not

48:31

caring, says Cox. Yes, and

48:35

then and then the whole joke

48:37

with Jordan and Cox about and

48:41

and and Elliott about how

48:44

Elliot is saying the exact same things that

48:47

Jordan said last night. Carla,

48:50

Carla, oh yes, Carlin, it says that that's

48:52

right. Yeah, that that had me laughing.

48:54

And then the last one Okay, now it's getting spooky. Yea,

48:56

that's three third

48:59

step, the third one, Yeah,

49:03

that was clever. And now Deontay,

49:05

who we just had on the show with another

49:07

line. We just we just spoke about how Deontay

49:09

was a hustler and knew how to get lines, and here he is

49:12

without his pooka shells but he has

49:14

a line, want to play some ball? Yeah,

49:16

Hey, Turk, want to go outside and play some

49:19

He had a lot of lines too, and he put it together.

49:23

Yeah. I didn't recognize him without his pooka

49:25

shell joker. But maybe

49:28

his character doesn't wear him when he plays basketball.

49:30

Yeah, it might be a little too dangerous. Yeah, they might be chase.

49:33

They probably chase or choke choke.

49:35

They chamber joke. So

49:38

Turk's trying to get out of his ritual, newly

49:41

planned ritual to make out with Carla

49:43

regularly because he possibly basketball.

49:46

Yeah, but the first time they the first time

49:48

they kiss, it's hilarious because now we're going through

49:50

the hospital and there he runs into a long

49:52

haired gentleman, she runs into a

49:54

bald head lady, and then immediately

49:56

after that, Cox runs into a

49:59

lady that looks like Kelsoe

50:02

from behind. I thought that was great.

50:04

I also laughed when when when

50:07

Turk and Carla finally meet each other and

50:10

they're like, where were you and they're expressing

50:13

where they were. It kind of sounds like when Harry

50:15

met Sally. I was on the second

50:17

floor of the Empire State Building. He

50:20

was on the first. I traveled all

50:22

the way and they're doing it at the same time.

50:25

Hilarious. I laughed, really heard at that. Yeah, yeah,

50:27

that was well done. And I think they must have you know

50:30

that woman who has who had the shaved

50:32

head from behind, It so looked

50:34

like you that I think that they must have like used

50:36

you for the behind shot first. Yeah, yeah,

50:40

because yeah, absolutely

50:42

absolutely. Um all

50:45

right, so then we cut to this awesome

50:47

epic fantasy and we see that

50:50

waits. We're missing some things though ahead.

50:53

Why is Frank still wearing those pants? First

50:55

of all, the dude loses two hundred and thirty

50:57

pounds and it's still walking around the house

51:00

to brag how much weight he lost every

51:02

day every day. Listen,

51:06

if you lost that much weight, you would be so proud

51:09

you'd wear those pants. Well, you

51:11

know, I put a belt on. At least he's

51:13

just walking around holding him like this, holding

51:15

him out with his thumb. By the way, speaking of losing weight,

51:18

do you know Ron Funcious, the amazing stand

51:20

up comedian. Oh, he's lost a ton of weight. Dude,

51:22

he's he was, He's in Cheaper by the dozen

51:24

with me and he you can't

51:26

I didn't recognize him really, so and

51:28

and and His trainer was Jorgan

51:30

DeMay, who's bills trainer who helped him. But

51:33

yeah, he dude, he I don't know how much weight

51:35

he lost, but he's an inspiration. He he

51:38

would work very hard. He worked very super

51:40

funny as a as King Shark on

51:42

the Harley Quinn Show. Is that who

51:44

plays King Shark? Yeah,

51:48

he does a lot of In fact, just as I was wowing

51:51

the kids with the chicken little he, I guess he does

51:53

one of the trolls. So then

51:55

he tried to get in on my game and upstage

51:58

me by being a troll voice. He has the best

52:00

He has one of the best lines and trolls a

52:02

pinky promise. Dang,

52:09

he's so is man

52:13

and how and also the last thing before we get

52:15

into the into the fantasy

52:17

sequence, the janitor knows everyone

52:20

because he reads their files. Yeah, and

52:22

so he's able to tell what's

52:24

going on with the three or four

52:26

people in the in the hospital cafeteria

52:29

because he's read their files. Yeah.

52:32

Now it's funny that the janitor is talking

52:34

about all the different people that work in the cafeteria and who to

52:36

fire, but he doesn't ever bring up his

52:38

best friend Troy, right

52:42

or Margo. Well, crazy Eyes Margo. Is

52:44

she not the cashier? No, that's a different name.

52:47

I don't know why they didn't call in Troy and Crazy

52:49

Eyes Margo. You'd think they would have loved the cafeteria

52:52

shout out yeah. Now. Also,

52:55

according to the to the janitor, there's

52:57

only three people that work in the cafeteria. I feel

52:59

like there's more. Well yeah, and then

53:01

and then Clay Akon shows up. Do you remember Clay

53:04

aken Um? He. I remember Clay

53:06

is allergic to something or several

53:08

things, and it was very serious, like no messing

53:11

around. I think it's nuts and or other

53:13

things. But we had a whole we

53:15

had a whole list of instructions, like to

53:17

be safe around Clay. It was like, don't look

53:19

him in the eye. He's allergic to that. Yeah, if you had

53:22

a nuts yesterday, if you had

53:24

if you had peanuts yesterday, and you made

53:26

eye contact with Clay, he'll explode.

53:30

No, I mean making up American Idol, your favorite

53:32

show, I know,

53:35

and his and his voice is beautiful when he

53:37

sings you and Carlos song in the

53:39

Fantasy. But um, yeah, I just remember

53:41

that Clay was was very nice. But I remember

53:44

like he he does have some

53:46

sort of very serious no messing

53:48

around um allergy we were warned

53:51

about. Let's go to break real quick.

53:53

Oh yes, break

53:55

right back with Sha Serrano, and

54:03

we're back. We're

54:05

back, We're back, We're back. So okay, so we go

54:08

to this fantasy now in the world

54:10

of the sitcom, we're sort of saying

54:12

that everything's a bit heightened as they are in sitcoms.

54:14

Like, you know, no one

54:17

has an apartment like Monica's apartment,

54:19

right, Well I disagree now, so okay,

54:21

So here's the thing. This is what I've learned. Okay,

54:24

I forgot about this. I forgot about this.

54:27

But I grew up with a lot of people who

54:30

had losts in New York City

54:33

and who had a really

54:35

big apartments

54:37

in New York City, and it was all rent

54:40

controlled back in the day. So like, let's say

54:42

you lived in the apartment for over thirty years,

54:44

you're still paying very little rent

54:47

on it, as as the

54:50

property value has gone up. So I

54:52

know people who have it's

54:55

like Monica's loft and affordable, very

54:58

very yeah, very similar situations

55:00

like Monica does on Friends,

55:03

and I pooh pooed on that for the longest,

55:05

Like that's impossible. But then when I think

55:07

back, holy shit, no, that's real. I know.

55:10

I know people who have like lost

55:12

the size of the loft in ghost

55:16

you know what I mean, where it's just like it's literally

55:18

a warehouse's pillers

55:20

and stuff like that, you know what I mean. Like

55:23

I remember I grew up with

55:25

people that had that being like, dude,

55:27

your bathroom is a mile away, how

55:29

do you make it there at night? You know? Just

55:33

putting it out there, all right. So, but needless

55:35

to say, the sets and reality

55:37

of sitcoms are heightened, and we're

55:39

spoofing that. That's why they built a version

55:41

of our set, which wasn't a set, It was a real

55:44

hospitals as you as we've told you. We

55:46

built that on a sitcom stage

55:48

in front of a live audience. So the lobby

55:51

and ice you are

55:54

are are there, but they're you

55:56

know, they're more colorful, they're less

55:58

realistic than the real thing. Um.

56:01

And then of course all the women have cleavage

56:04

and their and their brows are showing, and Sarah's

56:07

in a short scourge, and so's

56:10

Judy. Judy is looking like at yes,

56:13

the ladies are all looking very um,

56:15

sexy and there's even a naked man that

56:18

was in the background for

56:21

no reason other than to make sure there

56:23

were people that like men had something to look at.

56:25

It even the background changed, you know what I mean, it

56:28

went from the normal background that we had and

56:30

it you know, Central Casting got the call

56:32

we don't want the normal. We're gonna pay the extra twenty

56:35

five dollars and you give us, send

56:37

us the premiums we should probably

56:39

shouldn't phrase it. That's the truth.

56:43

Well, okay, am I wrong? U?

56:47

I think there is now no You

56:49

are right in that if you want sexy

56:51

people, that you pay more money

56:54

for sexy people, which I guess

56:56

is capitalism. But

56:59

that's a real thing. Yes, wild,

57:01

that's wild. Well yeah, yeah, if you want any

57:03

specialty, if it's like I need jugglers or

57:06

I need um. You know, the joke

57:08

is, she's a hot girl, quote unquote,

57:11

they're gonna hire a model. They're gonna hire a juggler,

57:13

you know. So there's a there's so in

57:15

this when they cuts the naked man who's got

57:17

all these muscles and he's supposed to be sexy, he's

57:20

a niche. So yeah, he's a special he's

57:22

a specialty. If you will, so you're paying more money

57:24

for You can't just say, oh,

57:26

bring me a person who

57:28

might have muscles. You know, you're gonna select the

57:30

guy from a picture and he's been chosen

57:33

because he's a specific thing. Yes,

57:36

that's interesting, but that's a more delicate

57:38

way to phrase it. Then well, bring me

57:40

the premiums. Sorry,

57:46

but it's true. I

57:48

remember reading an article about like there was some company

57:51

in la who they had gathered

57:53

together all of the like Mexicans

57:55

who look like trollos or gangsters or whatever, and

57:58

if you wanted one for your movie, you had to go to them

58:00

to get it. Yeah, I'm sure, And that's

58:03

okay, that's a real thing. That's neat. Well, also, I

58:05

don't know, I don't know as a real thing, but I imagine

58:07

that's true. I'm sure it is in the Orthodox Jewish

58:11

background world. You know, a lot of those people who are

58:13

super religious are certainly not going to go do background work.

58:16

So there's a whole niche of background people

58:18

in New York particularly that have

58:21

the beards and and and know and

58:23

I even probably have the outfit and know how to dress

58:25

up like an Orthodox Jew because there's so much work

58:27

for Orthodox Jewish background

58:29

in New York Stories. You know, I

58:33

thought Neil's entrance was amazing. Yes,

58:36

so again everyone's everyone's

58:38

outfits are are colorful and bright. And

58:40

Neil comes into entrance applause, which

58:43

is a very funny sitcom thing

58:45

where when someone enters, they

58:47

not everyone, but some people get applause. And

58:51

his applause was his applause was like

58:54

all the applause that you hear in this is

58:56

pretty much genuine, like they've clapped

58:58

for a really long time. And he had to point at

59:00

you and everything to you at

59:02

the time go by. Another thing

59:05

in the sitcom world, a person

59:07

has to stall for the for

59:09

the laughter or applause to die down right,

59:12

like you have to like thump for like he's pointing

59:14

at them, he's looking around right.

59:17

And we really shot this in from of Life only its like we

59:19

said, and they were big Scrubs fans, and so

59:21

we this really was genuinely

59:23

they were really laughing. We we

59:26

did sort of like when I come out later with the

59:28

with the we'll talk, we'll get to it, but with the Spider Man

59:30

face paint, like we saved that. So it

59:33

was a surprise for the audience. So we really

59:35

did kind of try and do it like they really

59:37

would in a sitcom. We

59:39

actually shot at like a real sitcom. Also, there

59:41

was there were not a lot of takes at this for this,

59:44

there's like one or two takes and then we moved on

59:47

um and and we rehearsed it

59:49

like a sitcom also, so uh,

59:54

what's interesting is when you do uh, it's

59:57

shot in order. That's the one thing that

59:59

sitcom are done. They're always shot in

1:00:01

order so that the audience can follow

1:00:04

along. And that's what we

1:00:06

did with this. We started from you

1:00:10

know, where they're around the patient

1:00:12

at the bed, and we went directly

1:00:14

to the end to where he passes out with you

1:00:17

know. And when you're not working

1:00:19

in those scenes, you're usually off in your

1:00:21

trailers, so you don't necessarily experience

1:00:24

how the audience is unless you're hanging out on

1:00:26

set. It's it's it's

1:00:29

really interesting. This was my first time

1:00:31

experiencing what it was really like to

1:00:33

do sitcom work, because after that

1:00:35

I went onto the ex's and it was it

1:00:38

was exactly like how we shot

1:00:40

this episode. The other thing we had they

1:00:43

had with sitcoms is a warm up guy. So if you've

1:00:45

never been to a live taping. They

1:00:48

have this comedian who interacts with the crowd.

1:00:50

You get everyone in a silly mood because they want

1:00:52

the audience to be gigli and silly,

1:00:54

and you know, they keep the ac super

1:00:56

crank, so it's like, you know, you have energies

1:00:59

and there's a guy and every time, because there's a lot of downtime,

1:01:01

so while they're moving the cameras, while they're just you don't want

1:01:03

the audience slumping in their seats, seemed getting tired

1:01:05

and being like let's go home. Want them, you

1:01:08

want them gold and you want them

1:01:10

giggly. So they have this comedian who's you know,

1:01:12

doing jokes and competitions with the audience

1:01:15

and throwing our T shirts. It's like it's like a hype man. And

1:01:17

so we even had that guy you remember that Donald,

1:01:20

Yeah, I do. There's one guy who was

1:01:22

really good at it um passed

1:01:25

away. You

1:01:28

had a guy at the Ex's when name was well, yeah

1:01:30

that was Alan. But Brodie Stevens was

1:01:33

one of the great audience

1:01:36

warm you know, he would warm up an audience. He

1:01:38

was a great stand up comic. Also he's a good stand

1:01:40

up comic, but he was a

1:01:43

great audience, Like he would

1:01:45

warm up the audience so well. He

1:01:47

was really good at it. I just wanted to show

1:01:49

he's he passed away a few years ago,

1:01:51

but I just wanted to shout him out, you know, for all

1:01:54

of you people out there who know who he is.

1:01:56

He was a special one. It's a very

1:01:58

specific skill set because you're doing stand

1:02:01

up, but obviously it's got to be PG.

1:02:03

You're not doing anything racy. You're also trying

1:02:05

to like, uh, interact with everyone,

1:02:08

get them involved, and you're sort of doing little mini

1:02:10

contests and then at any moment they'll say,

1:02:12

the crew will will say we're ready and you have to stop.

1:02:15

And then they'll do a scene and okay, we

1:02:17

have another five minutes of downtime here, I'm gonna

1:02:19

do a quick bit. And so anyway, there's there's

1:02:21

a there's a handful of people that are really really good

1:02:24

at it. And Alan Alan is another one. Uh

1:02:27

he's who did your show, right, He's the one that did the Excess.

1:02:29

He's he's really good at it. Yeah. I remember when

1:02:31

I was on your show doing an episode of The Excess.

1:02:34

Laughing because you know, if you're if you're on the show,

1:02:36

you've probably heard all the stick a thousand

1:02:38

times and you're not necessarily laughing. But I was new to it.

1:02:40

So on Donald's show The Exes, I was laughing. Well

1:02:42

he wasn't only on the Ex's he was also

1:02:45

he also did bills. Uh und

1:02:49

he did that one with Ron Vuncius.

1:02:51

There you go. Yes, look what good storytellers we

1:02:53

are. We're circling. I

1:02:55

want to make sure I get his name, Alan Murray. That's

1:02:58

who is. That's that's who it is. Alan

1:03:00

Murray is another one that crushes like

1:03:02

he does Sammy Davis Junior. He does a

1:03:04

bunch of bits like, uh,

1:03:07

he even got me to go into the audience.

1:03:10

That's not hard, bro. You loved it.

1:03:12

Yeah, I did. But he found he found able

1:03:15

to get me to go into the audience. He

1:03:17

found. But the is he found a song

1:03:20

that I would that I would have fun with.

1:03:22

Like, so you know, they give all

1:03:24

of this candy to actors and stuff on

1:03:26

stage throughout the week of shooting.

1:03:29

There's gum, there's like you name

1:03:31

it. It's just like a shit ton of candy on stage.

1:03:34

And so I would take the candy

1:03:37

and go into audience and he would

1:03:39

play uh, Sammy Davis Juniors.

1:03:42

The candy Man can would

1:03:45

run around just tossing bubblegum and

1:03:48

and lemon heads and

1:03:50

sour grapes all up into the air, uh

1:03:53

and at people. So yeah, Alan

1:03:55

Murray is another one amazing audience

1:03:57

when the world When the world reopens, and if

1:04:00

you come to Hollywood, I definitely

1:04:02

recommend um. If you like this stuff,

1:04:04

go find go you know, google

1:04:06

how to go to a sitcom taping because it's

1:04:09

it's it's a cool experience. I remember coming

1:04:11

as a kid, I went to see The Bob Newhart

1:04:13

Show. We saw a taping of that, and I was

1:04:15

as someone who wanted to be in film, I was like, this is the

1:04:17

goal, as they ever. Um, all

1:04:19

1:04:33

whole journey. We're getting there, we're figuring

1:04:35

1:04:37

that. That's

1:04:40

how I'm doing this now right

1:04:44

now. Yeah. When

1:04:46

it works, it works. You know why we have spectrum. Why

1:04:49

because it's the only thing that we can have the

1:04:52

monopoly in my neighborhood. All

1:04:55

right, quick break, we'll be right back with a very exciting

1:04:57

guest. And Sha, how's

1:05:07

your podcast going? Should we plug your podcast? Oh?

1:05:10

I don't have a podcast downcast

1:05:12

what I was before. I was before the

1:05:15

guy who I was doing it with, Jason Kincepts,

1:05:17

Jon, got a new job. And then I don't want

1:05:19

to do it anymore because I missed because

1:05:21

I missed him. So but

1:05:24

now I'm just doing book stuff, all right. Tell

1:05:28

we'd like to tell everyone always when you're on how

1:05:30

they find your Scrubs book because he wrote

1:05:32

it amazing, not anything that you're doing.

1:05:34

Just tell them how they can find it. Yeah. I gave Donald

1:05:37

the basketball book so he could read it on

1:05:39

the Pooper. Oh excellence, excellent,

1:05:43

your story. Just go to

1:05:45

a website halfway books dot

1:05:47

com. Everything is on there, halfway

1:05:49

books dot com. Yeah, um, I

1:05:51

promise you halfway books dot com.

1:05:54

Did he say halfway Yes, it's halfway.

1:05:56

Halfway crooks like crooks,

1:06:00

things as halfway crooks. There is such

1:06:02

thing as halfway books dot

1:06:05

com. Halfway Books, halfway

1:06:07

books dot com. And Shay

1:06:10

Is is an incredibly smart

1:06:13

and clever writer. And if you love

1:06:15

Scrubs, you'll want to pick up a Scrubs

1:06:18

book because it's very,

1:06:20

very well written, and it's essays

1:06:22

about something you apparently are interested

1:06:24

in, which is the TV show Scrubs. Say, do you ever

1:06:26

think about writing movies, creating

1:06:29

or TV and stuff like that? Just so

1:06:31

you know you're such a great writer, do you ever think why

1:06:34

don't I get into that? Mostly I just

1:06:36

like to watch the stuff. Hello,

1:06:39

y'all do that part of it and I'll do that part.

1:06:41

That's what I'm just asking. Well, I'm just asking.

1:06:44

I think you should consider it, Shay, because you're

1:06:47

funny and you know, um, you know the

1:06:49

genre really well, really well. At

1:06:51

some point when you win it, when you win an Emmy,

1:06:53

I want you to thank Donald and I all right, let's

1:06:56

bring on, by

1:06:58

the way, this we didn't win many Emmy's Scrubs,

1:07:00

but this one won for editing. And

1:07:04

I think it's a little controversial this win because

1:07:07

it won four multi camera

1:07:09

editing, So

1:07:12

it does feel like a bit of a cheat.

1:07:15

I mean no offense to John Michelle. He's an incredible

1:07:18

editor and he should have won for I just feel

1:07:20

he should have won for other amazing

1:07:22

Scrubs episodes, but he won

1:07:24

for this one. Um. All right, let's bring in

1:07:26

our guests. Joel. By

1:07:28

1:10:22

go on, go on, explain to us, lindsay,

1:10:25

what's your what's your question or

1:10:28

Shay related singings? So

1:10:30

actually, so, Galen's my brother in law. Um,

1:10:33

and this time last year I

1:10:35

got an email that said from Shay

1:10:38

Serrano and it was like I get

1:10:40

from Galen and I was like, what is this? I opened

1:10:42

it up and it was just a PDF.

1:10:44

So I was like, hey, Galen, what, I

1:10:46

don't want to open a right in pdf. So Galen

1:10:48

then explained to me that he had sent me for

1:10:50

my birthday Shay's essays

1:10:53

um from Stretch so um

1:10:56

and told me all about Shay and

1:10:58

how awesome he is. And he was

1:11:01

like, I know you're a huge Scrubs fan. Um,

1:11:03

So I thought this would be perfect for you. And then he's

1:11:05

also wanted to support Shay because

1:11:08

of all the awesome things that Shay was doing to support

1:11:10

his followers at the sort of COVID

1:11:12

and so he was like, this sport and

1:11:16

give you a little like early birthday. Yet. So then

1:11:18

when of course she came on the podcast the first

1:11:20

time, I was like, oh, I know exactly

1:11:22

who she is and I've read these essays. So, um,

1:11:25

I wanted to invite him on today with me

1:11:28

because he is an awesome brother

1:11:30

in law. Um, he's been in

1:11:32

my life since I was fifteen and more

1:11:34

than half my life now. So I just wanted

1:11:36

to say a way to say thank you to him, to

1:11:38

get his one of his um favorite

1:11:41

writers for him the chance to see him.

1:11:43

And so a

1:11:47

great way for me to go on the show because I'm such

1:11:49

a huge fan and I love Scrubs.

1:11:51

Wow. That's wow.

1:11:57

So, Galen, how did you find out about

1:11:59

es Well? I was

1:12:02

a big reader of grant Lands back in the day

1:12:04

and then The Ringer, and so I've been reading

1:12:06

stuff that SHA's written and listening to the Shad

1:12:08

podcasts for years and years and

1:12:10

years at this point, so I started following him

1:12:12

on Twitter and just sort of getting

1:12:15

into his whole you know, his

1:12:17

whole thing with basketball, with movieses, just

1:12:19

with all the all the things he's into. And he's just such

1:12:21

a such such a fun writer and an outspoken

1:12:24

person. Just just love this stuff. That's

1:12:26

stuff speaking of basketball. I'll let you

1:12:28

know what. I'll let Shave respond to all

1:12:31

of this. Yeah, Shaye, do you have a response

1:12:33

to all this love you're getting? I

1:12:35

don't how. This is like a new thing

1:12:37

for me to hear it. It's usually i'd like

1:12:39

someone will send me an email or something. This is very

1:12:42

overwhelming, But that's like a I'm

1:12:44

like, I'm gonna feel real good for the rest of the week,

1:12:46

right, I'm saying I'm

1:12:48

gonna carry that with me. Well what what? What

1:12:51

higher honor can a writer have than people

1:12:53

saying, not only do I love your work, but I'm

1:12:56

gifting it away? Yeah that's right? People

1:12:58

amazing? Yeah? Um, and you really

1:13:01

do Shay making IMpower? Are you still is a prolific

1:13:03

on Twitter? I'm off Twitter now, but are

1:13:06

you still as prolific and doing all the cool

1:13:08

things you do? Oh? Yeah, I'm real

1:13:10

lonely, So okay,

1:13:16

Kaylan, I gotta say this. First of all, your

1:13:18

last name well first

1:13:20

of all. The second of all, I see

1:13:22

you got Oakland all in the background and you

1:13:24

got the town uh T

1:13:27

shirt on. Let me ask you something right now,

1:13:30

how proud are you a Steph Curry? Right now?

1:13:32

Holy cow, man, holy

1:13:35

cow. He's just been I mean

1:13:37

this season, this excuse for the Dubs

1:13:39

was kind of a loss when Clay was

1:13:42

out before it started. But just the way

1:13:44

Steps been playing has been inspiring, just like makes

1:13:46

makes it fun to tune in, you know, every night. So it's

1:13:49

it's awesome. I know people are saying Yokich

1:13:51

is the MVP, but I don't. I want to step to get a little

1:13:53

love this year because like, who's really playing

1:13:55

better than him? I don't think the Warriors would have, you

1:13:57

know, six wins if it wasn't for Steps that

1:14:01

you know, he well, Draymond too, is is

1:14:04

It's totally important. But I think yo

1:14:06

Ki it's either yo kihold Dame Lillard

1:14:09

for me or or I would I would

1:14:11

give I would give Joel and

1:14:13

be a chance

1:14:15

at it two. But those three d Steph are the

1:14:18

definitely in the forefront for me. I

1:14:20

love a good Curry. Um, sometimes I'll have

1:14:22

it. Uh, which

1:14:25

what's your favorite kind of curry? I

1:14:27

love a yellow curry, Zack.

1:14:33

You can't talk to my brother in law about tennis. I

1:14:35

made sure again I'm talking. Oh thank

1:14:37

you. I'm not good, Galen, but I love

1:14:39

it. Donald and I sometimes attend the same

1:14:42

lesson, and it's my favorite

1:14:45

thing to do. It's my favorite form of exercise.

1:14:47

I just love it. I wish I was good, but I'm

1:14:49

just kind of math lindsay. It

1:14:51

says stronger

1:14:55

on your shirt, stronger

1:14:57

than you, guys, just for

1:14:59

you. I do love me some.

1:15:02

I do love me some. Grow Gou, You guys

1:15:04

are really great guests so far because you're

1:15:06

hitting us from all angles. You got basketball with shay

1:15:08

On. You got a baby Yoda

1:15:10

for Donald grow Gou. Oh

1:15:13

No one calls him grow Gou? Do they really? The boy's

1:15:16

name is grow Gou, but

1:15:19

bro does anyone accept Mega Mega

1:15:21

fans like you and Joel call him grogu When

1:15:23

he shows up with a lightsaber next week, you ain't gonna

1:15:25

call him baby Yoda. You're gonna be going like grog was kicking

1:15:28

that ass. So I

1:15:30

saw there's a new I'm not gonna get down a wormhole.

1:15:32

Okay, we're gonna do three sentences on this. I

1:15:34

saw there's a new Star Wars animated

1:15:37

show coming out, like the bad

1:15:40

Batch the bad Batch. Are you exciting

1:15:42

to that? I am, yes, it's

1:15:44

it's it's a connection. Listen, anything

1:15:47

in between Clone Wars and

1:15:49

a new Hope is a lot

1:15:51

of fun to talk about. And now what we're

1:15:53

learning is that anything in between, uh,

1:15:56

the last not the last Jota, the Force awakens

1:15:59

and return to the g That's an interesting

1:16:01

time. So I'm always excited

1:16:03

when we explore those um and

1:16:06

UM. I I wanted the audience

1:16:08

to know that when whenever I stumble across

1:16:10

anything Star Wars, I send it to Donald and

1:16:12

um, I would say that every seventh thing

1:16:15

or something gets a response. Um. But I

1:16:19

I'm just like, I'm like the parent who's like, oh

1:16:21

my son loves Star Wars legos,

1:16:23

honey, Look was

1:16:27

alright, Donald or Donald

1:16:29

or Joel? What's what's the connection

1:16:32

of the name Galen to Star Wars Galen

1:16:35

Soul? Come on? I was too

1:16:38

easy to have

1:16:41

to get on the level of like, what's the cereal of

1:16:44

the battery that's used in the speeder? Can

1:16:51

I ask can I ask Lindsay a question because

1:16:54

I couldn't because I couldn't. I couldn't ask this of zach

1:16:57

o'donald because they were part of the show.

1:16:59

Lindsay, when you were watching this episode My Life

1:17:01

and four cameras and they cut, they

1:17:04

cut for the first time into the like sitcom

1:17:07

thing, did you think that this was like a

1:17:09

very quick one off fantasy and

1:17:11

we're just going to be back to normal or did

1:17:13

you know right then that the rest of

1:17:15

the show is going to be like that. That's

1:17:18

a good question because I definitely have seen this episode

1:17:21

a couple of times. I had to rewatch it yesterday.

1:17:24

But I actually have interesting opinions on this episode.

1:17:27

It's not one of my favorite, but I do get

1:17:30

out. Thanks thanks Linda, Thanks

1:17:33

ladies and gentlemen, get it up for Lindsay. I

1:17:39

do love these sitcom references that

1:17:41

it does, like do this where of course, like I

1:17:44

love One Division also, so I think it's fun to kind

1:17:46

of again make that and then happy like, oh

1:17:49

well, Scrubs did it first, so it's like, yeah, One

1:17:51

Division was right

1:17:54

there, you go. So I think I can't

1:17:57

remember the first time because the person i'd watched it such

1:17:59

a long time ago, but I think and then

1:18:01

rewatching it, I knew that, like the whole thing kind

1:18:04

of went through um that

1:18:07

it goes through the whole time of the

1:18:10

fantasy sequence. It's really

1:18:12

interesting. It's really interesting that you

1:18:14

say that because WandaVision definitely stole

1:18:17

from us, and then Falcon

1:18:19

and the Winter Soldier definitely stole

1:18:21

from us. Come

1:18:25

on, man, you've never seen her. First of all, it's an

1:18:27

eagle dude. It's a dude

1:18:29

with the flying around

1:18:32

with his buddy one two.

1:18:34

They're the best. They're like the best bromance

1:18:37

on television right now. Who started that?

1:18:39

The interracial romance at that? Like,

1:18:41

come on, man, come on, buddy.

1:18:44

Did you like this latest episode? Yeah,

1:18:46

they've set it up for whatever this Friday is,

1:18:49

for Thursday at midnight.

1:18:51

For me, they

1:18:53

spent like one hundred and fifty seven million

1:18:56

dollars on this show. One

1:18:58

hundred and fifty seven million. Most

1:19:00

of it goes into special

1:19:03

effects and visual effects and stuff

1:19:05

like that. So far, I haven't seen one

1:19:07

hundred and fifty seven million dollars worth of visual

1:19:09

effects keeping it one hundred.

1:19:12

I might have seen fifty. They

1:19:14

got about one hundred whole flight scene for episode

1:19:17

one. That's about fifty that's

1:19:19

about fifty million dollars donald

1:19:21

budgets of production. I

1:19:25

thought that, um that this

1:19:27

fight was, this fight in this last

1:19:29

episode was was amazing. Was really well

1:19:32

done. Yeah, I like, I like everywhere

1:19:34

that it's going on, Louis Dreyfus.

1:19:36

That was cool her arrival. What

1:19:41

you know, it's the only thing is you got

1:19:44

a deep dive into who Contessa

1:19:47

is or Vale is, i should say. And

1:19:49

when you deep dive into it, you learned that she used

1:19:51

to date Nick Fury, and you learn that you know, she

1:19:54

was Madame Hydra or Lady Hydro

1:19:56

or something like that. So you know she's

1:19:58

coming from the fact that

1:20:00

she's talking to John Walker in the first

1:20:02

place. You know she's evil. You know, she's

1:20:05

a baddie. She's a bad guy of some sort.

1:20:07

I'm hoping that they dig into

1:20:09

the Thunderbolts because that's a really awesome

1:20:13

group of and Thunderbolts is

1:20:15

led by Zimo actually, who's on the show,

1:20:18

So that would be really awesome if that's what

1:20:20

it turns into, where Zemo

1:20:22

and the Thunderbolts get their suicide

1:20:24

squad type movie. You know what I mean or suicide

1:20:27

squad type show where they're the bad guys

1:20:29

who who you know, everybody thinks they're

1:20:32

doing good, but really they're bad guys

1:20:34

plotting for a future event. Well,

1:20:36

I'm glad it was Julia Bee drive is because everybody

1:20:39

loves her. You can't not love her absolutely

1:20:41

um and she's a Northquestern grad. All right, do

1:20:43

you guys have a question? So my question

1:20:46

away, it's like with this episode, one

1:20:48

of the big things that it starts is

1:20:51

this issue like storyline and arc

1:20:53

of Turk and Carla's like marial issues

1:20:56

and working through those time.

1:20:58

Did you all have like a favorite storyline

1:21:01

or arc, either for your characters that

1:21:03

you'd like to kind of act through or for

1:21:06

everyone else, like want a storyline or arc

1:21:08

that in particular that you really loved. Growing

1:21:12

up, my favorite storylines on television shows

1:21:15

were the love stories. You know, not

1:21:17

necessarily the will they or won't they, but the

1:21:19

love stories like Alex

1:21:21

P. Keaton when he finds his first girlfriend, when

1:21:24

he meets his first girlfriend who turns out to be his wife in real

1:21:26

life, Michael J. Fox's wife in real life, or

1:21:29

Kurt Cameron's first loved in

1:21:31

his on growing pains right

1:21:35

well, and then you know Kadeem

1:21:37

Hardison being so Dwayne Wayne

1:21:39

being so in love with Denise but then finding

1:21:43

love and Jasmine guys character, Um,

1:21:46

I I loved that, and

1:21:48

I love that you could find music and play

1:21:52

the music with U this

1:21:55

theme and so in

1:21:57

Scrubs, my favorite arc is the Turk

1:22:00

and Carless storyline. Like I, you

1:22:02

know, Shay says it will

1:22:05

can say it way better than me, But I truly

1:22:07

believe that you know, that

1:22:10

relationship is as

1:22:12

close to a real relationship that I've

1:22:15

ever been in, Like it mirrors

1:22:18

my relationship with my wife. You

1:22:20

know, not only are they cute, but

1:22:23

you know, they're both very passionate

1:22:26

about what they believe in and sometimes

1:22:28

the other one doesn't believe in it, but they still find

1:22:31

love, you know, uh with

1:22:33

within their complications.

1:22:36

And so I I love

1:22:38

it when I loved when I got to do stuff

1:22:40

with Judy like this, like love

1:22:43

stories with Judy. Yeah, I have

1:22:45

a similar answer. I think that the well obviously

1:22:47

first and foremost my my love affair with with

1:22:50

Donald and Turk, but I really

1:22:53

I'm I'm a sucker for romance

1:22:55

too, And I loved that that that throughout

1:22:57

the arc of the eight seasons, the

1:23:00

regular eight seasons that that Sarah

1:23:03

and I ended up together, Elliott and Jdi ended up together.

1:23:05

I thought, I thought that was very romantic

1:23:07

and real and that they both had to grow.

1:23:10

Um well, JD in particular had to grow,

1:23:12

but Elliot had to do some growing of her own and date.

1:23:15

You know, they hadn't really dated a lot of people when when

1:23:17

they first meet there they're in college, and then

1:23:19

they're in med school and they're so busy, and and

1:23:21

they were kind of each other's first crush

1:23:25

outside of school that I

1:23:27

think we can infer and then and then

1:23:29

then they have a lot of growing up to do, and

1:23:32

then the fact that they are able to find each

1:23:34

other after they've dated other people

1:23:36

and sort of gotten the hooking up out of their systems,

1:23:38

and then well, this is crazy. I want

1:23:40

to be with you. I'm such a sucker

1:23:43

for that. I love romance. And I thought

1:23:45

that was really well done by Bill. But you're

1:23:47

right, zach Us playing you know, our

1:23:51

our bit our stick by

1:23:54

far, I should say, the love

1:23:56

story comes a close second to that. Yeah.

1:24:00

Well, yeah, I mean because I think that, you know, as

1:24:02

as as JD says to Elliott and the

1:24:04

Bahamas, Elliott, I love

1:24:06

you more than turk. What

1:24:10

what's a more romantic thing you could say? All

1:24:14

right, do you guys have another question? And

1:24:18

my other questions is gonna be about you

1:24:20

guys get these really fine fantasy sequences

1:24:23

the show. Um, did

1:24:25

you guys ever have a favorite costume that went

1:24:27

along with one of those? Oh, my Eddie Murphy

1:24:29

raw, Yeah, that one,

1:24:32

either that one or Indiana

1:24:34

Jones. I got to be the black Indiana

1:24:37

Jones. And you

1:24:39

know, I loved the The Princess

1:24:41

Bride episode. It was so underappreciated in my

1:24:43

book because it was it was a really

1:24:45

weird time for the show, and we thought it might go

1:24:47

off the air, and I think

1:24:50

the audience thought

1:24:52

that it might be the series

1:24:54

finale, and so it was sort of judged in a why

1:24:57

is this the series finale? Way? Um?

1:25:00

But I think it was probably our most expensive episode

1:25:02

and our most definitely and

1:25:05

most ambitious episode, And I

1:25:07

directed it, so I'm extra biased, but

1:25:09

I I I just look. I thought the costumes

1:25:12

in that by Carrie Bennett were extraordinary,

1:25:15

and um, the

1:25:18

amount of work that went into that episode was like

1:25:21

quadruple um. Anything

1:25:23

we ever did on another episode. So that's

1:25:25

what comes to my mind. All

1:25:33

right. I don't know who we're helping, whether it's Lindsay

1:25:35

or Galen, but it is time for where Where do you

1:25:38

live? Lindsay's

1:25:40

actually for Galen. Okland.

1:25:44

It's time for Oakland, Oaktown's

1:25:47

favorite segment. Everyone, it's time to fix

1:25:51

Yea, We're

1:25:56

gonna hella fix your life. That's what they say in Oakland,

1:25:59

Donald, Hella, is that what they say? Well

1:26:01

the teenagers too. I don't know if you know, you know, I love me some

1:26:03

E forty tell me where to go? Hey,

1:26:06

we just tell me where to go. We just had

1:26:08

an E forty track in the in

1:26:10

the in the show. Um and

1:26:13

she probably doesn't. And they're trying to get a PG

1:26:15

version number the song because the lyrics.

1:26:18

But it's a great song. You know that song

1:26:22

they played in basketball games apparently a long um

1:26:26

shay, you should know this. They played in basketball games.

1:26:28

We're here trying to we're trying to function.

1:26:32

Tell me where to go? What's it called function?

1:26:34

Yeah? You know that song?

1:26:36

Function? Donald? Go go? No?

1:26:39

No, yeah, I don't I know

1:26:41

that one. All right, Well, Donald, I'm gonna send it to you because

1:26:43

it's a really good song, tell Me where

1:26:45

to Go. Apparently they're going to try and get mister

1:26:48

e forty to make a Disney

1:26:50

friend friendly version of it, tell

1:26:52

Me where to Go? All

1:26:55

right, we digress, Galen, how can we help you, sir?

1:26:57

Well? And I was gonna say, I think mister fab is the Oakland

1:27:00

sort of least least appreciate or a most underrated

1:27:04

rapper. But um

1:27:08

so, about nine months

1:27:10

ago, my wife and I started fostering

1:27:12

two babies who are about

1:27:15

twenty one days apart, and so

1:27:17

we don't we don't know ultimately what's going to go on

1:27:19

with them, but there's a chance in the

1:27:21

long run that we could adopt both of them.

1:27:24

Wow, So they're in effect,

1:27:26

they're there because they're so close in age

1:27:28

and developmentally, and they've they've basically been

1:27:31

almost raised together. They're they're eleven months now.

1:27:34

They're they're sort of in effect, they're like twins.

1:27:36

They're very much like twins. And so I had a question

1:27:38

for Donald in for Shay, who both

1:27:41

I think have twins, unless I misread

1:27:43

Wikipedia, But my question

1:27:46

was, do you have anything that you could tell a

1:27:48

new parent who's potentially raising

1:27:50

twins. Uh, something that you wish

1:27:52

you would have known about raising twins, or you

1:27:55

know, any information that would

1:27:57

be pertinent to a to a future or a

1:27:59

current in future twin. Dad, All

1:28:01

right, wait before we get to them answering,

1:28:05

tell us a little more backstory. How did this come

1:28:07

about that you and your wife stepped

1:28:10

up in such an incredible way

1:28:12

to take on fostering babies. The

1:28:17

problem with this story is there's no we can

1:28:19

figure out. We've been we've been together

1:28:21

for ever and ever, and for some reason both

1:28:24

of us just at some point in our life had

1:28:26

a sort of interest in fostering

1:28:28

an adoption as a way to start a

1:28:30

family, and so we set about it a

1:28:33

couple a couple of years ago. Is actually Game

1:28:35

one of the twenty seventeen NBA Finals is

1:28:37

like the first the first

1:28:40

event we had to go to a minute. It took several

1:28:42

years to get, you know, fully certified,

1:28:45

et cetera, et cetera. And then Lindsay

1:28:47

actually has a super connection to this because

1:28:49

she's a social worker and works with foster

1:28:53

and adoption in Atlanta.

1:28:55

So it's it's like, really in our family

1:28:57

right now. Wow, And so the

1:28:59

thing fostering as I understand it is, um,

1:29:03

they're with you? Is it is a situation

1:29:05

and excuse me for not knowing the answer, but Lindsey

1:29:07

can help me because she's a social worker. Where

1:29:10

if the if the parent of either of these children,

1:29:13

uh comes back into the picture, you

1:29:15

could then lose the child to them.

1:29:18

Yeah, that's that's a distinct possibility.

1:29:20

So that's really that's extra frightening because

1:29:23

you're if you've fallen in love with these babies, I'm

1:29:25

sure, and yet you might have to relinquish

1:29:27

them. Part of

1:29:29

a lot of the training is sort of trying

1:29:31

to prepare you emotionally for saying,

1:29:34

you have to treat these kids as if you're own. You have to

1:29:36

love them like they're your own. But you also have

1:29:38

to know that, you know,

1:29:41

at a moment's notice, somebody can show up

1:29:43

and they can go back with with you know, their

1:29:45

their mom or their dad or or

1:29:47

a or a you know kinship or

1:29:50

you know, some other family member. And so it's it

1:29:52

is it is tough emotionally that they don't

1:29:55

you know, it's not like they hide that. They sort of tell

1:29:57

you one day one that that's a distinct possibility.

1:29:59

So it's it's emotionally a little

1:30:02

a little strange, but we just we're just kind

1:30:04

of rolling with it. Wow, that's

1:30:06

so impressive, and thank god there are people like

1:30:08

you doing doing that, because what

1:30:10

a difference you're making in the world.

1:30:13

I mean, all I did today was make a smoothie.

1:30:17

Well I would and I would say, we're you

1:30:20

know, we don't deserve that much credit because we were

1:30:22

seeking where we wanted to foster, you

1:30:24

know, babies, which I think there's a lot of demand

1:30:26

for him, As Lindsay would tell you, if there's folks

1:30:29

out there who want to foster like teenagers

1:30:31

or you know, middle school age kids,

1:30:34

you know that kind of thing, that there's really there's a really

1:30:36

big need for that. And so we you

1:30:38

know that maybe something that we do in the future. We weren't

1:30:41

quite ready for that. We wanted to start with babies.

1:30:43

But that's that's like those people who

1:30:45

do that kind of fostering are sort of really

1:30:47

the heroes. Lindsey, Um, is

1:30:49

there a resource for people that might be listening

1:30:52

and going I would like to do

1:30:54

that. That's been a dream of mine. Do you do you know of

1:30:56

of a website or or where they could

1:30:58

go? Yeah, you for each state,

1:31:01

it's you can google your state and

1:31:03

then like for Georgia,

1:31:05

just googling foster children in Georgia

1:31:08

and it will usually take you straight to the states

1:31:11

like main page, and from

1:31:13

there you can do usually

1:31:16

like on Georgia stage, you can do an inquiry

1:31:18

and then they'll connect you kind of with your county,

1:31:20

but they'll also go ahead and put

1:31:24

you first in an informational meeting, so they'll

1:31:26

kind of again lay out a lot of this tell

1:31:28

you a lot more about the process because

1:31:31

it is a big process. Sometimes people are just like, oh,

1:31:33

like easy peasy, like I can get approved

1:31:35

like that, but there's a lot that goes into the approval

1:31:37

process. Well, thank goodness, right, because you don't watch

1:31:39

just anybody getting a child. Yeah,

1:31:42

So there's a lot of training involved, there's a lot of

1:31:44

home studies looking at your

1:31:46

home, there's a lot of interviewing, and

1:31:49

so it definitely

1:31:51

is a process, and it's a really once you even

1:31:53

get approved and you've got a placement, it's really difficult

1:31:56

and challenging, but it

1:31:58

is such an important, important need and

1:32:00

there are I

1:32:04

can't remember how I think the stat is about

1:32:06

there's like about four hundred thousand kids in foster

1:32:08

care usually on average each

1:32:10

year, and there's a really high

1:32:12

number of teens that end up aging out

1:32:14

of foster care and so being able to get

1:32:16

in a specially support teams. And

1:32:19

it is much harder in the state. When

1:32:21

I've had teams that I've had to place in two different

1:32:24

foster homes or group homes. The

1:32:26

preference is always a foster home, but those are

1:32:29

harder because again, teams have gone

1:32:31

through trauma, they've had different issues heres,

1:32:33

and so people aren't quite as ready. But

1:32:35

there's also so much training out there that

1:32:38

people can be a part of. There's a lot of different

1:32:41

again in two in social media and Facebook

1:32:43

that people that you can utilize as

1:32:45

support systems to help them. And then

1:32:47

also to trying to rely on the state,

1:32:49

trying to rely on these case man indors of like hey, if

1:32:52

if your team is struggling with this or that, like making

1:32:54

sure that they get those services. So maybe the

1:32:56

government doesn't the government help

1:32:59

you financially if you take a child.

1:33:01

They do, Yeah, they provide a snipend. So it's

1:33:04

one of those they try and stress that it's not a it's

1:33:07

not supplemental income, but it's like

1:33:09

an assistant. So a lot of the times they'll get more

1:33:12

like reimburse for certain things, and they

1:33:15

may get a stipend like at the end

1:33:17

of a month or the next month to kind

1:33:19

of help reimburse you for previous things.

1:33:23

Well, that's an incredible story, Galen, and I

1:33:26

think we on behalf of all of us. We

1:33:28

wish you success with that. And also I

1:33:31

just met you, but I really hope you get to keep those

1:33:33

those babies and become an awesome father

1:33:35

to them. I will say

1:33:37

this, I hope their parents get it together

1:33:40

and are able to get the babies back first. But

1:33:42

if not, I do hope that, Galen,

1:33:45

I do hope that we want joy for the children. It's

1:33:47

what we want right now, guys, let's pivot to the

1:33:50

more fun question. Do you guys have

1:33:52

any advice on what it's like? Even though these

1:33:54

aren't literal twins, he feels like he's raising

1:33:56

them as twins. Of advice on what that's like. That's

1:34:01

tough, man, because if they act like twins

1:34:03

and they've been together their whole lives, they're

1:34:05

gonna gang up on you. So good,

1:34:08

so good, and you

1:34:11

heard of good Cop, Bad Cop. It's

1:34:13

crazy when your kids do that to you. My

1:34:18

kids, my twins are twenty twenty

1:34:21

one years old now, and one's

1:34:23

good cop and one's bad cop. One of them will

1:34:25

give it to me like one gives it to me like I

1:34:28

need it, and the other one is a sweetheart

1:34:30

about it. Dottie is a sweetheart about

1:34:32

everything. Everything is. Dad, You're my hero,

1:34:35

You're my I love you so much. My

1:34:38

daughter, my daughter tells me she loves

1:34:40

me, but I've never heard you're my hero

1:34:43

from my daughter. My daughter freaking

1:34:45

gives me the real you're gonna wear

1:34:47

that or look at you? You decided

1:34:50

to work out today, huh oh

1:34:55

yeah yeah, and I also decided to

1:34:57

move all your stuff onto the front lawn. No, no,

1:34:59

no, I would never do that. Go ahead

1:35:01

from from like a very pragmatic standpoint,

1:35:04

that's a very good answer there.

1:35:06

It's gonna feel like they're just running a two on

1:35:09

one fast break against you at all

1:35:11

times. Like it doesn't. There's there's nothing

1:35:13

that you're gonna be able to do to sort of separate

1:35:15

those two. They're just gonna be a pair forever.

1:35:17

My twins are fourteen or thirteen

1:35:19

going on fourteen now, but they're like they're

1:35:22

all they look like young men. Now they got wide shoulders

1:35:24

and we play. They're bigger than me for the most

1:35:26

part, and like it's terrible,

1:35:29

but also like kind of great.

1:35:31

So number one, they're gonna beat the hell out

1:35:33

of you, but number two, like your only job

1:35:36

in this situation is to make sure that they

1:35:38

know your house is like a good

1:35:40

place to be and you want them there with you and you

1:35:42

love them, and then all the rest is like

1:35:44

whatever, screw it up a million times if you want.

1:35:47

But if they know that part of it, it seems

1:35:49

like everything works out pretty good. If

1:35:51

they can come to you, if they can come to

1:35:54

you with their problems, you're winning.

1:35:56

You are winning. You are winning big time.

1:35:58

And so you want to make yourself available to them and

1:36:00

let them know that at a very early age that you

1:36:02

are safe with me. Yeah,

1:36:05

awesome. I was trying to think, what's what's

1:36:07

the metaphor for taking a charge? And while

1:36:09

they're running the two on one against me, but there's

1:36:12

nothing. You're You're Jason Terry with

1:36:15

Lebron bearing down on you. That's

1:36:17

all that is. There's no way to stop it. There's there's

1:36:20

the great thing that's going to happen is there

1:36:23

will be times where they very clearly decide

1:36:25

they're going to team up against you. Like I remember

1:36:27

one time I got a call from the school. This

1:36:30

is the twins were in like the third grade or something,

1:36:32

and they were cheating on a test.

1:36:34

It was very clear they were cheating on a test. They didn't have definitive

1:36:37

proof, but they both got the

1:36:39

exact same answers wrong in the exact same

1:36:42

way, and it was like, what are

1:36:44

the chances of this happening? So we

1:36:46

knew they were cheating, and we sat them down and we were

1:36:48

like, you know, who was cheating off? Who? What's going on here? And

1:36:50

they would not crack. And again they're ten

1:36:52

ten years old at this time, and they would not sell

1:36:54

the other one out. And it was very clear that they

1:36:56

had talked about it ahead of time and decided,

1:36:59

no matter what happened, we're just

1:37:01

both gonna get in trouble right now. And I

1:37:04

was like frustrated because I could. I was like I

1:37:06

was trying to, like, you know, interrogate them like the police do,

1:37:08

and they wouldn't give me the answer, and so I was

1:37:10

frustrated. But I was like in the back of my head,

1:37:12

proud of them that they had so bad. Don't

1:37:17

you call one of them the baby that's

1:37:19

the youngest one. I have three, I have the twins

1:37:22

and the baby, and the baby is a straight

1:37:24

up demon. He's running, He's running

1:37:26

everything right now. That's how it goes. Man,

1:37:28

It's like, it's really interesting.

1:37:31

It's really interesting, the dynamic of

1:37:33

it all. You would think that the older one,

1:37:35

because they had to go through like all

1:37:38

of your mistakes as

1:37:40

a parent. Yeah, you would think that they

1:37:42

would be the ones that are freaking crazy.

1:37:44

It's the ones that got it easy that turn

1:37:46

into the turn into the bad guys. Man.

1:37:49

My daughter says things to me like I never loved

1:37:52

you, the

1:37:56

same thing in my house. This will look you're

1:37:58

dead in your eyes and be like you're

1:38:01

the worst, and don't you ever talk to me again. And

1:38:03

I can't ask if you wanted some cereal? What's

1:38:05

it right right now? What's you talking

1:38:08

about. I'll

1:38:10

zoom my wife because I'm out of town

1:38:12

right now shooting this this show. I'll

1:38:15

zoom my wife and I'll be like, let me talk to

1:38:17

the kids, and she'll call them in. And

1:38:19

my kid, my youngest daughter, I'd

1:38:23

1:38:26

share horror, which looks at freaking

1:38:29

1:38:31

she was walking through the plot get off me,

1:38:33

1:38:38

1:38:43

Yeah, I love so. I

1:38:45

1:38:48

Uh. And because of and and so because

1:38:50

of that, I'm a little quicker. I'm a little quicker.

1:38:53

Yeah. By the way, I saw a couple

1:38:55

of comments like, wow, Donald sober

1:38:57

is a little quick, a lot quick,

1:39:00

more than Stone Donald, that's what and

1:39:02

So Galen, before you go, we

1:39:19

1:39:22

1:39:25

Is that what it is? Pale pallette

1:39:28

tte so not a palide?

1:39:31

And no you could we could give him a palette, but it wouldn't

1:39:33

be anything. So we're gonna give him a palette. A

1:39:35

palette, so let me say that again.

1:39:38

No, keep that in there, Okay, y'all can y'all

1:39:40

can know how dumb I am. I don't care.

1:39:43

You are deservant of the word palette.

1:39:45

That's the new one palette. And I was thinking,

1:39:47

Paladin, I don't know why Paladin.

1:39:51

All right, Well tell the man what he's getting a palette

1:39:53

of. You're getting a palette

1:39:55

of gts Kimboocha. There

1:39:57

you go, now, don't give it's

1:40:00

too infants. I do think it's recommended for

1:40:02

infants, it's for adults.

1:40:05

I love that. Well,

1:40:08

you're about to have a whole lot of gtscha

1:40:10

1:40:13

you, Thank you guys so much. We appreciate you,

1:40:16

Thank you, thank

1:40:19

you nice.

1:40:22

That was very nice, very nice people. Yeah,

1:40:26

taking on two different infants,

1:40:29

they're not messing around two they've

1:40:31

been together since they were since they were

1:40:34

even younger than this. The two of them have so

1:40:37

I think it's very noble. I agree.

1:40:40

I think we're almost done with the show. Um. I think Sarah

1:40:43

Sarah's um Shakespeare,

1:40:45

Sarah's German Shakespeare. I remember being hilarious,

1:40:48

very funny. Anytime Sarah yells

1:40:50

in German. I just started giggling. Here

1:40:52

you because she puts on this sort

1:40:54

of angry face. It's

1:40:57

angry. She's got the angry

1:40:59

German. Yeah, yeah,

1:41:02

she screams it. I mean I think if you someone unscrubs

1:41:04

WICKI wrote that if you look like we're also

1:41:07

starting to laugh because it was just genuinely

1:41:09

so funny. The janitor

1:41:12

doing stand up, very funny. Yes, what

1:41:14

about us doing World's most giant Doctor

1:41:16

goes to a farm? And that is

1:41:19

our and that is what

1:41:21

did you say? That is our version

1:41:25

of World's Greatest Doctor

1:41:28

goes to a farm? And

1:41:30

then there's we think there's a mix up because sitcoms

1:41:33

have a happy ending, So oh, you're not the one dying,

1:41:35

it's somebody else, and don't worry about

1:41:37

him, and who cares about him? He's anti

1:41:39

Semitic. Let's

1:41:44

talk about Clayake and singing at the end,

1:41:46

Yes, isn't she lovely?

1:41:49

Not live? Or yeah,

1:41:52

isn't she er?

1:41:57

Isn't she precious?

1:42:00

That's a funny song for a couple to have as their

1:42:02

song because it's not about it's about

1:42:04

a baby. Yeah, it's about a Baby's

1:42:06

right, it's about a baby named Aisha.

1:42:09

I like it when he goes my

1:42:13

favorite part. I can't believe

1:42:16

what God has done there

1:42:19

you go through us. He's given life

1:42:21

to one and that's so very

1:42:24

lovely made

1:42:27

from love. Um

1:42:31

all right, well then we come back to talk

1:42:37

about unlatching and now Donald will scream

1:42:39

fake Harmonica. Um. Hey,

1:42:42

I thought the end was really cool. Uh.

1:42:45

We sort of exaggerated

1:42:47

the real world of of scrubs

1:42:50

in the coloring. They made it look even more gritty

1:42:52

and dark and tinted um,

1:42:55

just to really heighten the difference coming back

1:42:57

from the sitcom, which I thought was was a cool thing

1:42:59

to do. And then of course the character dies

1:43:01

because in the real world not everything's

1:43:03

happy like an end of a sitcom. I

1:43:06

also like the fact that the person that was

1:43:08

in charge of it all is Elliott, Like they're really

1:43:10

we're sticking to the fact that

1:43:13

Elliott is a better doctor

1:43:15

under pressure than jd is,

1:43:18

you know. Uh, and

1:43:20

that's how that's how you guys were coach

1:43:23

chiefs, right co chiefs. Yeah.

1:43:25

And but she you

1:43:28

know, there was that episode where she just

1:43:30

was a better doctor than you. There's no way

1:43:33

to there's no way, you know, Elliot's

1:43:35

a better doctor than Jad. There's no way to put it other

1:43:37

way to put it, especially under

1:43:39

pressure. And this guy goes

1:43:42

into you know, he's

1:43:44

starting the code and who jumps

1:43:46

in Elliott And you know, for

1:43:49

someone who's rewatching the show, it's refreshing

1:43:52

to see that they're sticking to the

1:43:55

characters. Uh. I

1:43:58

guess you would call it the character bible. Like we

1:44:00

said, this is what it is, and it's

1:44:02

the moment that it happens, and JD instead

1:44:04

of staying in the room to assist,

1:44:08

he steps back and gives her her space like,

1:44:10

oh, she's got this. This is

1:44:13

this is where she excels. And he

1:44:15

goes home, Yeah, and

1:44:18

watches. We

1:44:20

assume it's Cheers, I think, right, or

1:44:22

maybe it's San franci On. We don't know. I've

1:44:25

watched through the series enough times that like

1:44:27

imprinted in my head is is

1:44:30

anytime that doctor Cox puts his hands on

1:44:32

his head like this, like I know he's feeling

1:44:34

like a real bad way and he does that really

1:44:37

quickly as Clay Achon is walking out

1:44:39

of the hospital, And every time

1:44:41

at the arms well up, I'm like, oh god, this is like very

1:44:44

very It's just imprinted from

1:44:46

the from the It Was Arabies episode

1:44:48

when he does it and he holds them up there and he's like, oh god,

1:44:51

yeah, so many

1:44:53

signature moves. It's like that, but

1:44:55

they all have purpose. That's the that's the great

1:44:58

thing about it. You know, Johnny

1:45:01

he really dug into his character

1:45:04

and you know, really said,

1:45:06

well, this is when I do this, it's because of

1:45:09

a specific reason. It's not it's

1:45:11

I'm not doing it for you

1:45:14

know, for for flash.

1:45:17

This is I'm doing this because this

1:45:19

is how I feel at this moment. It's one of the things that

1:45:21

makes Johnny such a special actor is that

1:45:24

he makes such unique choices.

1:45:26
