sexy pictures of you on the Instagram,

0:12

0:15

a little bit, I'm losing

0:17

a little bit of weight. Yeah, I saw some

0:19

of the thirsty pictures. And I also

0:22

just hang it out of my trailer. Just take my trailer

0:24

with my new fit, skinny face. Yeah.

0:26

You know, the drugs

0:29

and alcohol are strating to leave my system,

0:31

and the first place it shows up is your

0:33

face. So automatically you're like,

0:35

0:38

right here? Well, you look

0:40

great. I can't knock it house. Have you

0:42

started shooting your the

0:44

show yet? Yes, it's a lot of fun.

0:46

You know. I'm gonna be honest with you. I am having

0:49

a great time. Good dove.

0:52

Chloe and Yanna are awesome.

0:54

They're the powerpuff Girls. Yeah. Um,

0:57

the director Maggie, she's crushing

0:59

it blows crushing it. Like,

1:02

I'm just having a great time working with everyone.

1:05

Yeah, And we're

1:07

trying to deliver a good show, you know, we're

1:09

trying to We're really trying hard. To

1:11

give the fans something

1:15

that they're like, you know, whether you like

1:17

the idea of Powerpuff being created

1:19

or you don't, we want you. You know, we're trying

1:21

to give you something. Everybody's working hard

1:23

at trying to give you something.

1:25

So at the end of the day, you're like, it was

1:27

actually pretty good. Well, I gotta tell you

1:30

that there's quite a pedigree behind it, you know that,

1:32

Diablo, Cody and Greg BERLANDI, I mean,

1:34

these are all these are all power hitters,

1:36

So I think it's gonna be amazing. And I've

1:38

never even seen anything. Only I know about Powerpuff

1:41

Girls is that graphic of the three of them with their fists

1:43

up. That's all I know. Yeah, I know, I

1:45

know. I've started watching

1:47

the old show and that it's funny. You

1:50

know, the originals show, the original

1:52

series is funny, like laugh out loud funny. I didn't.

1:55

I didn't realize that. And it kind of has the it kind

1:57

of has the animation of like old school

1:59

hand up Barbara type. You know, it's

2:02

like, really, it's really cool. Now,

2:04

I will say this, people might

2:07

not like the way I played the professor because

2:09

I'm definitely not talking like that. I'm sorry.

2:13

Talk. It's like, hey, the Powerpuff Girls

2:16

are you know what I mean, I'm not doing

2:18

that stereotype. Dad. Oh

2:21

well, I don't think anyone's expecting you to be a sixties

2:23

stereotype. Dad. I hope not. Just

2:27

make it your own, that's right. Well,

2:29

you know, but I still have to hold some of

2:31

the you know, some of the

2:33

characteristics and quirkiness that

2:37

of course. What I mean. I think people, I

2:39

think I think everyone will be excited

2:42

to see what you do with it, and I think there's gonna be so many

2:44

eyeballs on it. And it's just I'm

2:46

just proud of you that you're involved with something so cool. So

2:49

man, how stupid bother doesn't going incredible

2:52

the same thing. I'm just so happy. I love

2:54

everybody. The kids are so cute. Um,

2:57

I just love them. They're so they have so many

2:59

questions and they're just so you

3:02

know, every day that goes by, I watched them

3:04

bonding with each other more and

3:06

um, and we're becoming this family

3:08

unit. You know. I literally have to be the dad

3:11

sometimes because you know, when all the

3:13

crew and parents and guardians and

3:15

babysitters and all those people clear away,

3:17

it's just me and Gabby as the adults, and then

3:20

like these little twins start fighting and I have to be like

3:22

guys, guys, guys, come on, come on, come on, let's focus.

3:24

Like I

3:28

literally have to be like dad and

3:30

they look up to me, you know, as like Uncle Zach

3:32

basically. But it's fun, man. I love it.

3:34

It's too good to be true. It's the same thing that you're saying,

3:37

it's great script. You know, as

3:39

actors, we sometimes are run things we don't love.

3:42

It's it's it's a good opportunity or

3:44

I'm doing it for X Y or z E reasons. This is one of

3:46

those things where I love it, like I'm having every day

3:48

I come home smiling. Yeah,

3:50

I know the feeling, man, And it's you know

3:52

I have. There's a young lady on the show. This is

3:54

her first time ever in front of the camera.

3:57

Names Jana right. She plays Buttercup.

4:00

First time ever on camera. She did

4:02

a lot of broad She did a couple of some things on Broadway.

4:04

She was in Jagged Little Pill with

4:07

when Diablo, did that with Atlantis

4:09

Morrisette, and then she got the tour. She

4:12

got the tour for Hamilton

4:14

and right when it was about to go off COVID

4:16

happened right o. Man. So she's

4:19

you know, she's like brand new, fresh,

4:21

banking new to the

4:24

television film industry. And

4:26

it's so refreshing to see because I remember

4:28

when I was like that and just like her innocence

4:30

and the question she asks and like

4:33

it's like so amazing, and

4:35

and I keep telling her, please don't ever lose

4:38

this energy. Always stay on this energy.

4:40

But you know, in time, you know, Hollywood

4:42

will get to you. Yeah,

4:45

that's another it's a very it's funny, it's very

4:47

analogous situation. I'm in too down because

4:49

a lot of these kids, you know, these some of these kids are really little.

4:51

And even even the young lady who's playing my

4:53

sixteen year old daughter is I believe

4:55

she's eighteen or nineteen just

4:58

started NYU and the all so wide

5:00

eyed in the it's but I love

5:03

like explaining things, and you know,

5:05

they have the little kids have tons of questions. What's that?

5:07

You know, whether it's crew gadgets, like what's

5:09

that for? What's that? Or they yell some

5:11

jargon on the set and the kids are like what does that mean?

5:13

And I love being like the elder states been like, well, kids

5:15

let me tell you what that means. And

5:18

so that's fun. And I thought of you Donald, because

5:21

without spoiling anything for anyway,

5:23

there's a moment where a character one

5:26

of my kids has to hit a three point

5:28

shot in front of a whole gym

5:30

of people. And I was thinking of the Scrubs

5:32

episode where you where were doing that one or you had to

5:34

hit that shot. And this this

5:36

young lady is so talented and she's

5:39

an athlete, but wasn't a great blastgot

5:41

player, and she's been training and training and training and training

5:43

and training, and there we

5:45

were in the stands and she's supposed to

5:47

like hit like this all important three

5:50

and she keeps missing it and keeps

5:52

missing it. I'm like, under pressure, I'm like biting

5:54

my fingers for like like her dad, like as

5:56

though I'm her dad. I started biting my and

5:59

and everyone, you know, because we know they

6:01

can edit it together. Even when the three doesn't

6:03

go in, we all cheer because you know, well

6:05

they'll just they'll edit it so it looked and we're

6:07

thinking, like how many times are they gonna give her to

6:10

like do this. They ideally want it to be real

6:12

without cutting to them rim you know, she

6:14

misses. I don't know, but we're all

6:16

fake cheering even when it doesn't go in. And then

6:18

in my mind, I'm thinking, like, Okay, if I was directing,

6:21

i'd probably give her three more try.

6:23

I don't know, I try to think, and

6:27

I'm just sitting there, and then she fucking hits

6:29

it, and I swear to God as though

6:31

I was her father. I leapt to my feet

6:33

and I was so elated.

6:35

And then she and in the scene, she looks

6:37

at me and she points, so I was just like I could have cried.

6:39

I was so proud of

6:44

dude. That's so awesome, man, Yeah,

6:46

it's really it's really great. It's really

6:48

awesome to to to live

6:51

through other people's learning

6:54

experiences, and like I do it with my children

6:56

all the time. But you know, my kids aren't

6:58

actors, and you know I I wouldn't necessarily

7:01

put them into game. So when I'm meet somebody

7:03

who's in the same profession as me and

7:05

I and I'm watching them literally

7:08

grow as they're working,

7:11

it's it's just so it's it's endearing,

7:13

it's it's overwhelming, Like I

7:15

feel you, like you want to cry. I love

7:18

it, man, how are you guys? Doing man, you

7:20

know, why is your camera off? We want to see

7:22

your beautiful hair. Sorry, I'm trying

7:24

to um text our guests and let

7:26

them know that we will be with them in a moment. Okay,

7:29

Well, I really like your new hairstyle, and I want

7:31

to segue from your new hairstyle into

7:34

well, so we count in Donald what we have an exciting

7:37

show today. First of all, this is a very

7:39

funny episode. I want to explain to people that why

7:41

we're jumping around a little bit, it's because

7:44

we you know, again, you have to bear

7:46

with us as the four of us figure out how

7:48

to bring you the show every week. It's it's

7:50

a little tricky with our schedules, but we're doing it and

7:52

we love doing it. We booked

7:54

Chase Serrano, who everybody loves, who's

7:56

like a Scrubs expert and a brilliant writer

7:59

for My Life and four Cameras because that's

8:01

the one he wanted to do. And as

8:03

we all know, that's a special episode where we spoof

8:06

the sitcom M Shay wasn't

8:08

available this Sunday, so we're gonna do Shay

8:11

next Sunday, right, Joel, Yes, that's

8:13

correct, And so we jumped ahead to four

8:15

eighteen My Roommates, which

8:18

is a very funny episode that we're talking about today,

8:21

Rolling, Rolling, And as

8:24

we had promised and on people have asked, we brought

8:26

on three of our stand

8:28

ins from the show and we'll explain again and remind

8:31

you what stand ins mean and are in

8:33

a moment. But I'm very excited for this episode,

8:35

and also we're going to do an update on Joelle

8:37

and her date that she met

8:39

during the live show. Thanks to all the people

8:41

who attended. And Joelle, your hair

8:44

looks very cute. I

8:46

very guys.

8:49

How long did that take? Did you do that? You didn't

8:51

do that yourself? Yeah, oh, I see

8:53

it's just the front. I thought it was the whole thing. No,

8:55

no, I haven't had I think. Oh that's very

8:57

cute. That's a good look for just twist. Thank

9:00

you and Daniel, I see the DJ turntables

9:02

9:05

9:07

9:10

9:12

9:14

lead? Come on, well, the timing

9:17

9:19

9:25

people how to watch you do your thing. You can

9:27

go to twitch dot tv, slash dj Underscore,

9:30

Daniel dam That's what I'm talking about. That's

9:32

that's what I'm talking about, all right, Donald

9:35

counts into America's Favorite podcast. Before

9:37

I do that, that was like a real That's what I'm

9:39

talking That was like a drunk drunk

9:42

That's what I'm talking about. Before, Like I think I

9:44

was drunk when I did that. I don't

9:46

know. Just talk about

9:51

you were definitely stone when you said this, who

9:53

tank forever ever, ever,

9:56

ever ever? I still

9:58

mean it now. It's a sober living

10:00

going buddy. Before we count. I

10:02

am on the fifteenth, I'll be two months

10:05

no alcohol. You didn't even drink

10:07

on your birthday. Hey, no, sir. I had a

10:09

couple of friends over and they were all enjoying

10:11

frozen margarita's and I watched them

10:14

enjoy them. I'm supposed to

10:16

I haven't drank in two weeks, and I'm

10:18

supposed to go out

10:20

and get wined tonight with

10:23

the head and makeup

10:25

artist on our show, and

10:28

I'm dreading it because I really

10:31

don't want to drink, but I want to hang out with the

10:33

dude. You know. That's the problem. By the way, this is

10:35

a problem for the I'm sure there's people listening

10:37

going. I would try, you know, taking an

10:39

alcohol break, but going out for being

10:41

socialist, and that is tricky,

10:44

and I recommend. What I do is I get something

10:46

that's a little bit special, like

10:48

a ginger beer, which I really happen to like, oh

10:51

um, because it takes really good to me. It's like, say,

10:53

kind of the equivalent of getting when I say I have a GTS

10:55

kambucca, although the rest of the bar probably, but

10:58

you can get a ginger beer or something

11:00

else that you find that you don't normally

11:02

get that doesn't have booze in it. But dude, I'm telling

11:05

you, once you get past the initial like, oh,

11:07

everyone's having a drink and I wish had to drink, I'm

11:09

so stoked. Like when I make it to the parking lot and

11:11

I and I actually made it through dinner and didn't have a drink,

11:13

I'm like, yes, because the only part you care

11:15

about is like the sort of socializing.

11:18

We've just we're so used to it. We've been

11:20

doing it since we were freaking teenagers most

11:22

of them. Yeah, yeah, I was doing

11:24

it when I was. I drank more in high school

11:26

than I ever did the rest of my life. But um,

11:29

you know, so we were just we're just conditioned to it,

11:31

and it is awkward. You know that. That's the only

11:33

time that I miss having a drink

11:35

is when your body we have

11:38

this like Pavlovian response like time to socialize

11:40

drink, which is weird,

11:43

and we're just we're just used to it. So but I'm

11:45

telling you, once you make if you successfully make

11:47

it past that stage and just had a

11:49

non alcoholic drink, um, you

11:52

feel super stoked right on, right

11:54

on. Yeah, So no weed, no booze.

11:57

Two weeks, I'm good. I'm

11:59

loving it, like the way my face is

12:01

set up. You know, as my therapist says,

12:03

um, nothing beats a streak, no

12:06

nothing. So it's like a streak

12:08

can be beaten. But you know what

12:10

he was saying was that if you whatever

12:12

you're trying to do, whether it's meditate every day

12:15

or do some exercise every day, or take

12:17

a booze break, it's um.

12:20

He said, there's so much power in a streak because

12:22

you don't want to lose your streak. You don't want to suck up your

12:24

streak. Right. Something I always did, I think I mentioned

12:26

this on the podcast is um is

12:29

just print out a paper calendar. You can find a free

12:31

one on the web, and then

12:33

I would just give myself a smiley face

12:35

on the day every time I was doing

12:37

something I wanted to to to do

12:40

every day, whether it was meditate or take an alcohol

12:42

break. And then even just looking at the calendar

12:44

like, I'm not gonna fuck up my streak by

12:46

putting a fucking X on the day I want

12:48

my smiley face. It's

12:51

really It's crazy though. Man, Once you freaking

12:53

decide to do this out of

12:55

the blue, everybody

12:58

in a mama want to smoke with you or every name

13:00

mama. Do you know how many

13:02

you know what my cast gifts were, like

13:05

the gifts that they gave me, like this,

13:08

let's see it. What am I gonna do with this? Dude?

13:12

What are you doing? Gift

13:14

it? That's the only way too do Listen. I have this assistant

13:17

on the movie and she brought in this beautiful

13:19

bottle of wine from the producers. Um,

13:22

I'm sure it was expensive because it was my birthday

13:24

present. And she's like, oh, just reminding you

13:26

that you got that bottle of wine from the producers

13:28

And I said, oh, thank you so much. She was where do you want to

13:30

put it? I said, in your bag. It's for you, right

13:33

And she was like, really this is like

13:35

expensive. I was like, I know I'm not drinking right now.

13:37

That's all. You have a good weekend. She was like, oh god,

13:44

that's awesome. All right. So here we go, y'all five

13:47

six, seven day stories about

13:49

so we made

13:53

nurses stories.

14:11

All right, Now we got to start off Joel. First

14:13

of all, Um, has there been

14:15

any updates? Has the has

14:17

the date? So to remind people who weren't

14:20

at the live show, we did a dating game

14:22

and all of the attendees of

14:24

the in the audience voted. We

14:27

had a live poll which

14:29

person Joel should take on a zoom date.

14:32

We we all voted on it amongst

14:34

ourselves and then of course we left it to Joel and

14:37

did you have the date yet? Yeah?

14:40

We did. We it was actually this morning right

14:42

before you answer, Before you answer, Daniel,

14:44

I think we should play the theme song for Joel's

14:47

dating segments. It's

14:50

the most fire song ever. Here we go, get

14:53

the word out, Joel,

15:01

no matter what's between your next tomorrow

15:04

and you get

15:07

them get down. Oh yeah,

15:10

Joe down. Wow.

15:16

That is I think that's what they call a bop Daniel

15:18

in DJ and DJ Lingo. I believe

15:20

you're correct on that one. Okay, I love the

15:22

lyrics. The lyrics are the best. All right, Chu, well go ahead.

15:24

How did it go? Um? It went really

15:26

well. It was fun. We were talked

15:28

about it before and I was like, oh, fienteen minutes shortly,

15:31

let's see you half an hour. And by

15:33

the end of it we've been talking for two hours.

15:35

We're gonna watch a movie and never got to that. Um.

15:38

Oh, it was fun. We like exchanged

15:40

a lot of like television and manga

15:43

X so we're gonna wait television

15:46

and what manga conga It's

15:48

like, yes,

15:51

it's yeah, that's exactly what it is.

15:53

Mm hmmm um. And so she

15:55

reads a ton of that and so I was like, okay, so

15:58

I'm gonna find the books and read then

16:00

watch the shows. And it was fun and we'll

16:02

text about them and then I think in

16:04

a week or so, we're gonna try to watch A Knight's

16:06

Tale. She hasn't seen it since like middle school, and it's

16:09

one of my favorite movies. Oh my gosh, wow,

16:11

Um, all right, let's bring it. Shall we bring

18:21

in our standings, bringing our guests?

18:23

Yes, yes, so excited for it.

18:26

Alex. We will explain to you who

18:28

these lovely people are again, I promise, because you might

18:30

be confused. But two

18:32

of them in like since we wrapped. I haven't

18:34

either. I'm very excited about its

18:36

spring them all in here are Deonte, Scott

18:39

and Renee

18:48

Picture bro. Oh

18:52

my god, it's so surreal.

19:01

You got it. I feel

19:03

like I could cry. Why

19:07

has Renee noted one day?

19:12

No? Come on, yesh

19:15

my god, let me look old

19:17

as but a

19:21

one day No. I'm just I'm

19:23

just it's amazing a kid. I have a four

19:25

year old, So you do, Scott? Yes,

19:29

I do old

19:39

I got three cats.

19:44

All right, let's just let's get the audience caught

19:46

up a bit. You guys, and Deante, thanks for coming

19:48

out of the helicopter to come join us on

19:51

the podcasting.

19:54

That joke is related to his giant headset.

19:56

Everyone that you can't see, um,

19:58

that's you guys. That's Joel and

20:00

Dale are our producer and

20:02

an editor engineer. Audience

20:06

guys, I'm going to describe to people because a lot of people who

20:08

listen to this don't know anything about film production, what a

20:10

stand in is. And then I want you guys to clarify

20:13

or change anything I say. But

20:15

we were very very close to these

20:18

three people because Scott, Deontay

20:20

and Renee where me, Donald and

20:23

Sarah's stand ins. What that means is when

20:25

you're making a film or a TV show, we

20:27

go and re rehearse, and then the cinematographer

20:29

and the camera crew and everybody needs to needs

20:32

people to light while we go do hair and

20:34

makeup and change our costumes in Donald's

20:37

case, play video games. Um, they

20:39

need to rehearse the camera moves, they need

20:41

to set the lighting, they need to you know, do they

20:43

need They need people that are exact height, our

20:45

skin tone and ideally have

20:47

the same hair color so they can adjust all

20:50

the lighting and when. And so

20:52

that was these guys. Scott was

20:54

my stand in, Deontay was Donald's,

20:56

and Renee was Sarah's. And we

20:59

spent so many years being

21:01

very close with these three people and

21:03

have about ten million inside jokes because

21:06

we just were. We spent the whole day with

21:08

them. Um, guys, what did I get wrong? Why

21:11

did I get right? Chime in, Well, we

21:13

basically stood on tape, That's what we did.

21:15

Yeah,

21:18

So when the you know, when the DP and

21:21

when Zach you know, you guys are

21:24

doing what you do or setting up. You know, you

21:27

could be out with another camera crew. We had we were splintered

21:29

so much into different crews um

21:31

to sort of multitask, and so you don't

21:34

have to stand there and get exhausted for an hour under

21:36

hot lights. We would stand there

21:38

and you know, just do

21:41

forget. Don't forget Scott

21:43

all the voice. Yes, don't

21:46

forget that. That's right. I'm sorry,

21:48

Scott. I already I already have minimized

21:50

what you did. Scott,

21:54

not only not I not. I'm just saying this, you're a good

21:56

actor, which really helped, because you

21:58

know, the voiceovers were such a character in

22:00

Scrubs, and we had to time out what the timing

22:02

would be, like that whole voiceover is going to be here during

22:05

the scene, so Scott I would read them

22:07

the first rehearsal, just so Scott could see like the

22:09

rough idea of how I was going to do it, and then

22:11

he would read it in the scene.

22:14

So Scott was kind of in almost

22:16

every scene we did. Yeah,

22:18

I mean I became good at mimicking

22:20

your style. I guess your time.

22:23

I always appreciated Scott, how you didn't you

22:25

know, you would act it great, but you wouldn't

22:27

like try and like like upstage

22:30

to me and do the moment like you know, a

22:32

different kind of action would be like, well I heard how Zach's

22:34

gonna do it, but I have a different take on it. That

22:38

would be the times when I would read it for Scott was

22:40

missing. You remember those times, Zach whatever, and

22:43

I would read it and you'd be like, nobody

22:48

bring it down like ten notches okay,

22:50

trying to be on the camera like Deonte,

22:53

probably out of all of the standings, was in the

22:55

show the most, right, Yes, like yeah

22:57

everyone by far. Yeah, now, but you all had lines,

23:00

Renee, do you remember what you're what you're a line? We

23:02

just saw your line. I think you're a bartender?

23:05

Yes, I will. I remember the first Well.

23:07

I was always whole camera shy. In fact, I didn't

23:09

really want to do a lot of that stuff because I was like

23:12

a stage performer and a dancer, and

23:14

so for me, it was like, oh

23:16

my gosh, I can see all the people and

23:19

I'm performing in front of the whole crew,

23:21

all these people I knew. Yeah, And

23:24

of course as soon as I come down from the

23:26

the dressing room, and be like, Oh,

23:28

you're gonna screw up, you're sous.

23:33

It was, Oh my gosh, I'm gonna screw

23:35

up. But um yeah. I remember

23:38

my first line. I think it was in Bill. Bill

23:40

Lawrence was directing. I was a bartender,

23:43

and my line was it's an open bar.

23:45

Yeah. We just saw this one. It was it was

23:47

I think it was to Kelso right Donald, Yes,

23:50

Ken, because he I mean I was so comfortable

23:52

with Ken. I loved Ken. And I remember Bill.

23:55

He often came to set and he would

23:57

kind of change a line and he

23:59

changed mine, and I remember thinking, no, I don't

24:01

know, I know what to say, don't

24:04

change it. I've been working on it's an open

24:06

bar for two Yeah.

24:08

Yeah, I know what I'm gonna say. I'm nervous anyway,

24:10

Oh my god. And he goes, add cutie,

24:13

add cutie, and I said, okay, it's

24:15

an open bar, cutie. He goes, that's

24:17

it. Put that as a show. I

24:21

had the Bill line change thing. That's

24:23

so much, so much

24:25

a part of the Scrubs culture.

24:27

Right, you're gone and changing, you

24:30

know. I remember, I remember we were always

24:32

rooting for you guys to get lines, because you

24:34

know, it goes without saying they would get

24:36

a much juicier check if they had a line,

24:39

So we were always I was always happy when

24:41

you know they would throw you guys. You know something

24:43

to say, now, Dianta, you did seem to be the

24:46

most aggressive at work in it,

24:48

because as we rewatched the series,

24:50

you're on it a lot, and you're not only

24:53

not only did you not only did you do

24:55

stand in work, but you sometimes did background

24:57

work, and you will always mark the orderly

24:59

or whatever the characters. Man,

25:05

I gotta say, you know, Bill, Bill was like super

25:08

nice and generous, and I went up

25:10

and asked him towards the end of the first season,

25:12

just hey, if something seems like it might

25:14

fit me, is is it cool if I my auditioned

25:17

for it? And he was so generous,

25:19

He's like I got him. And then maybe a couple of weeks

25:21

later I looked at the script and he's like, got that's

25:23

for you. Yeah.

25:28

Also, I also remember being terrified during

25:30

that line because it's with you and Johnny

25:32

C. And I was terrified of Johnny

25:34

C at this point. Yeah. Right

25:38

and uh, and right before we're

25:40

doing the scene, we're you know, they've already clapped

25:42

the slate and they're just about to call action

25:44

and Johnny c yells to me from

25:46

across the room, heyde you

25:48

know what you do with them? You have the ball on the one

25:50

yard line right and I yelled back,

25:53

I go score. He goes no,

25:55

no fucking fumble. And do

26:03

you remember what you do? You remember what your first line

26:05

was? Uh? Yeah it was. It was

26:07

two words. I think you called me by the wrong

26:09

name, and I was just kind of giving

26:11

j D. I think I said. I think I said, hey, Burt,

26:14

you know, because he called me that by the wrong name because my name was

26:16

Bert. I remember you met

26:19

a very critical line. When

26:21

I think it's later, we haven't gotten to it. When the janitor

26:23

finally says his name Glenn Matthews, and

26:26

then I think Deontay walks up and he's

26:28

like, hey something whatever is a different

26:30

name, and like the audience finally thought they

26:32

got it. It It was Glenn Matthews. And then Deanty walks

26:34

up. They're like, hey Timmy or whatever, what

26:38

about you, Scott? Do you remember Europe your first

26:40

line? I don't really remember the

26:42

line. I remember that our

26:45

A D. Franklin called the

26:47

scene got that, yeah, got

26:50

they got put the scene got pushed, but

26:53

he was like, oh, we're putting you

26:55

your character in a cast. So I had a full

26:57

leg cast and um

26:59

this sort of like brace that went to my groin

27:02

and that was that was going to take

27:04

hours. But Franklin is like, oh, no, your scene

27:06

is pushed. So I went, I don't

27:08

know, got coffee. I went and chilled, and

27:10

then I got back into my car and

27:12

I had like twenty voicemails and Franklin's

27:14

like, the scene moved up the sea move op. Okay, hey, we

27:16

need to put that Can I swear? Yeah,

27:19

we need to put that fucking cast on. He was

27:21

like screaming at me on the phone, get to

27:23

the hospital now, and like, frantically

27:26

get in. I don't I forgot who did it, but

27:28

they're wrapping my leg frantically in this

27:30

cast. I'm trying to figure out the scene,

27:33

like I had to wheel a wheelchair at the same time

27:35

and spin and it was a steadicam

27:37

shot, so I had to pass the camera

27:41

going facing Kelso and then spin

27:43

around and talk to him with this cast

27:45

on in a panic, half

27:47

wrapped cast, and it was like, I

27:50

think it was just like hey, Bob, like I said, hey,

27:52

Bob, or like said what's up Bob or something to

27:54

him and he made fun of me because I

27:56

had a cast on or something. But it was that sort of thing

27:58

where it was like you never knew

28:01

what was gonna Well, I'm always so excited

28:03

when I see you guys. Um. First of all,

28:05

I don't think Donald just said as you were coming on. I

28:08

don't think that i've seen

28:10

you guys. Maybe you've seen you Deonta. I

28:12

don't think i've seen Renee and Scott since we wrapped

28:15

No

28:18

and yeah, we should say Renee and Scott

28:21

both left early. Renee, what season did you leave?

28:24

I can't remember. I know it's been almost fifteen

28:26

years because I left

28:28

because I got married, moved to Texas and

28:32

so, and it's this is about fifteen years

28:35

now that I've been married. So it

28:38

was fifteen years ago and I don't know. That must

28:40

have been season I'm guessing

28:42

seven. Yeah. And

28:45

then and then Shelina came on and we called her new

28:47

Renee. No

28:51

no, no, I can't replace Renee.

28:53

No no, no, no

28:55

one, no one could be replace you. But we wanted to make her

28:57

feel guilty that she like we. I think we were like

28:59

trying to convince her she took a job away from our friend

29:01

Renee, So like, listen, we're just gonna

29:03

call you new. Meanwhile,

29:06

you'd left because you got married and moved away.

29:09

Um, and then Scott, what season did you leave? I

29:11

think it was around the same time. Um,

29:13

I didn't. I wasn't involved with any of the newer

29:16

characters like to you know when it when

29:18

you guys started the new That

29:20

wasn't until nine? Was that nine? Okay?

29:22

Yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, it was a while ago. Um.

29:25

Yeah, I wasn't involved with that, so probably like seven

29:27

or eight as well. But you didn't go to the Bahamas

29:29

either. I did go to the Bahamas. You did go

29:31

to Yeah, thanks for remembering all the fun times behind.

29:34

I was on Chunk Beach, Yeah, chungk Beach that season

29:38

eight. That was season eighth. Then you went all

29:40

the way to the Okay, so maybe, oh you know what

29:42

I did? I left and then I came back left

29:45

one season trying to get out and we pulled you

29:47

back there. I mean, it

29:49

was the best job ever. I couldn't, you know,

29:52

but I you know, I never really wanted to be an actor,

29:54

like im like I'm a documentary filmmaker

29:56

now, like I want to be behind the camera. So um,

30:00

I was maybe good at mimicking your voice over,

30:02

but I just sort of like you for

30:04

me. From my perspective is you guys were

30:06

ideal because we just all had

30:09

we had to spend so much time together, and I just have

30:11

so many great memories of cracking up with you three

30:13

when I look back on and I look back on you

30:15

know, we the three of us, sorry,

30:18

the three of us who were the leads of the show,

30:20

and the three of you guys, we were just together

30:23

all the time, and we

30:25

just I look back on those times and just

30:28

my eyes well from laughter of just thinking

30:30

about how many fucking times we

30:32

would just have so many inside jokes

30:35

and be laughing. And it was great because it kept

30:37

a vibe of like we had to be like trying to

30:39

be funny on camera for sixteen hours

30:41

a day, and having you guys be there

30:44

and just giggling with you guys was

30:46

so so awesome. Well, I often

30:48

tell people, you know, we we spent so

30:50

much time together. There was nowhere else to go. We

30:52

were in this hospital and

30:54

we all got to there. I mean there was no

30:56

iPhone either, and so people were on their phones

30:59

all the time. It was like we were all talking and

31:01

and and we got to know each other like a

31:03

family. And I

31:05

don't even think I realized at

31:08

the moment how special that was until

31:10

I got out there. I mean, here we are, we're twenty years

31:12

older, you know, and then we get really

31:14

I'm just saying this, right, you do not you

31:16

know, like a day older? What is your

31:18

secret? She's going, I

31:21

don't know.

31:22

I mean,

31:30

I'm in my forties, so I I you know, look

31:32

you thank you. But

31:35

no, it was I mean, we just we It

31:37

was like the whole crew, the cast. Everybody

31:40

got along so well. We were all together

31:43

every day and and we just

31:45

and I said, I said to somebody later

31:48

in another job that I had, I said, I we

31:50

went to work every day, we had

31:52

fun, we laughed, we got things

31:54

done, and we got paid for it.

31:57

And it's like it didn't feel

31:59

like a job. It was the dream job. You

32:02

knew you're gonna have a good day every day, You're gonna

32:04

laugh like every day. Yeah you knew, Yes,

32:06

I agreed, you knew, no matter what, you

32:09

were going to have a couple of belly laughs that

32:11

day. And everybody was so

32:14

so nice. I got along with everybody,

32:16

and I can't name one person that

32:19

you know there. There was no diva stuff,

32:21

Bill Lawrence that you know, he would

32:24

not accept jerks. You

32:26

know it was his no, no, a whole policy.

32:29

Right, you guys can if you want

32:31

to start, you can see. Really, I'm

32:33

not comfortable with you guys censoring yourself.

32:42

She's like, do you guys know that the Texas

32:45

rule about cursing? I love

32:47

Texas, but yeah

32:50

I can. I canuck curse

32:58

m D. We still

33:00

played golf together. Yeah, I see.

33:02

I've seen you a couple of times, Zach, not nearly enough,

33:05

but you know, I see Donald. We play golf. Good

33:08

time out there. Um, now, has

33:10

Donald's game gotten much better? Deontay,

33:12

because that's what we hear, We hear, Oh yeah,

33:14

yeah, no, no, his game has got a lot better.

33:16

And you know what, it got a lot better quick. I don't know what

33:18

he was doing. I think he was taking lessons, like twenty four hours

33:20

a day a couple of years. We got a

33:22

gryme, You got a grind. He's got the

33:24

kids into it too. He's got the kids at the driving

33:27

range. Dude, I'll go play golf. With

33:29

Deontay. We went and played like somewhere

33:31

35:29

bad So,

35:32

guys, I don't know if you even listened to the podcast. Have

35:34

you guys heard this podcast before? Yes?

35:37

Yeah, yes, that was a very

35:40

tepid response. Donald. Ye. Yes,

35:43

I was just driving back from Oregon a couple

35:46

days ago and I listened to A Bunch in

35:48

a Row. So, guys, don't be shy. We're

35:50

gonna talk about the episode. Please chime in anything

35:52

you thought was funny, any memory

35:54

you have of it, anything. It could be totally

35:56

random. Um. If you listen to the show,

35:58

which it sounds like you don't um you

36:01

know that it's I

36:03

will say, Donald, I think i've heard

36:06

it more. I heard the episode with your mother, and

36:08

I've heard it more than her. I'm probably in

36:10

the upper maybe five to ten episodes,

36:12

to be honest, I've listen. Oh, you've listened to it

36:14

more than my mom has. Yeah, that's that's a very low

36:16

bar. And

36:19

he was, you know what, I think my

36:21

mom listened to before you go any farther. I think my mom

36:23

listened to the episode she was on and

36:26

then the first episode. That's well,

36:28

first of all, I think Scott listened. I

36:31

think just outed himself because he said I listened

36:33

to the one with your with your mom, which means

36:35

he knew he was coming on here and frantically

36:37

listened to the last episode

36:41

you got me okay,

36:44

by the way, Donald, did your mom? Did your mom

36:46

like the playback? Did she say she had a good time on

36:48

the show. She hasn't spoken to me

36:50

about it. Oh, maybe that's not good. I

36:54

don't know how about it.

36:56

I'm sure I'm sure she you know, she

36:58

was like she said she had a right time. I know that, all

37:01

right? Good, Well, we had a good time. I'm talking to

37:03

her. She always makes me smile. So the episode

37:05

starts with I'm making out with Kylie,

37:08

right, j D got jungle fever?

37:11

Got jungle fever? You

37:14

got jungle fever? Now.

37:17

Christy Faris, who plays Kylie, is

37:19

very talented and beautiful, and she Kylie

37:22

the character is taking it very slow,

37:24

very very slovery, very very slow,

37:26

very slow. There is no Have you ever been in a relationship

37:29

like out of high school that went

37:31

slow like that? No? Never?

37:34

Rightly,

37:43

I think I'm all for I'm

37:45

all for taking it slow, but I mean, the implication

37:47

in the episode is that it's been like weeks and we're

37:50

just kissing. We're not even like rolling

37:52

around groping, We're just kissing. J

37:55

D is really into her, if he's he's taking

37:57

it that slow, Yeah, you kind I

38:00

gotta be into somebody if you will a new gold that's low.

38:02

Well he is, But it's funny. I let my first laugh

38:04

out loud moments when you cut to me and

38:06

I'm while I'm kissing her, I'm massaging, massaging

38:09

my jaw because

38:12

I'm so sore from from kissing her.

38:14

And that's all we're doing. And I love I love

38:16

the plan that uh, he formulates

38:19

to get to stay

38:21

over. The first thing is, oh, I'm

38:23

tired. Yeah, I

38:26

think it's it's so cold outside.

38:29

It's like it's like it's like the baby It's cold

38:31

outside song. I'm like, who

38:34

so freezing? It's cold? Yeah. I

38:36

remember, I remember those voice those voiceovers,

38:39

like when he JD's like sort of searching

38:41

his thoughts, like what can I do? I

38:44

just I always remember, like it just comes back

38:46

to me, like your voice in the lines,

38:48

like so many sides were like

38:51

very voice over heavy. So yeah,

38:53

yeah, will put you to work in this one. Now you

38:55

are also imagining reading the teddy

38:57

Beard. Now, Donald, you are the voice of the time of the boy

39:00

some the teddy Bear. Yes, I love that. It was a brown bear

39:02

on her bed? Yeah?

39:03

Did which

39:07

wa? Donald? Did that with the iget decided

39:10

after the fact? Or did Bill the

39:12

teddy Bear? I'm sure it got decided after

39:14

the fact. And they were like, we need somebody to do with the teddy

39:16

Bear. Danny Rose, who was doing

39:19

uh I was doing post

39:21

at the time, was like, we need a teddy bear. You

39:24

want to do it? But this was a time when this

39:26

was a time when we used to all like you and

39:28

I used to love doing like the Obscure.

39:31

Uh you know, hard to place voice

39:34

over. It's like, yes, watching Jerry Springer

39:36

or television or something like that. We loved

39:39

to do that. So I thought it was a genius choice

39:41

that the brown bear on the bed

39:43

is played by you and he was the

39:48

bear does not want me infringing on

39:51

his woman. No, that's

39:53

scary. Yeah, he literally says, he

39:56

goes hit the bricks, bitch, you got no game.

40:00

It's like, yeah,

40:02

he's no. Yeah. I don't know if

40:04

they allowed me to do that, Vio. Maybe they pulled

40:06

Deonta in to do that one game.

40:12

That's all I listened, Man, I

40:14

understand because that bear has

40:17

was cuddling with that character, yes,

40:20

every night, especially if she's not

40:22

doing it with j D or

40:24

anybody else, she's definitely hugging

40:27

on that bear or some something. So I

40:29

gotta tell you now, listen, I'm very proud of I think

40:31

that this is one of my proudest improbms in the whole

40:33

series. Donald, you know what it is, Sorry

40:36

about the Tusie guys that

40:42

I still use that

40:48

sorry about I

40:51

don't remember. I remember that that line

40:53

was non scripted I do remember that the joke was

40:56

I think I don't know what I was revealing. Was it always

40:59

revealing me pere poohing or something? Were

41:01

always revealed to be pooing? Okay,

41:03

but I don't know what my line was, but I but

41:05

I added, I'm sorry about the twoosy guys,

41:07

and I just that's one of my proudest improbs

41:10

in nine years of being on the show. I

41:14

mean, can you imagine you're culling your fucking

41:16

partner in the tub, then your roommated shooting

41:19

in the same room

41:20

were Donald's. Donald's

41:22

reaction was just priceless. Though it must

41:24

have been like one take, you guys were like about

41:26

to break it so funny. Donald

41:29

looked like he was on the Yeah, he was like, just

41:32

like that's

41:36

our voice that we were holding it. Do

41:40

you remember we were guys? Would we do that just territive to

41:43

fuck up all her takes? Yes? Oh my

41:45

god. When she starts laughing, it was over, Like,

41:47

oh yeah, if you got her, yes, if

41:49

you got her going, it was over. And then Randall's

41:51

like, yeah, who would

41:54

come in, like a line producer would come in. The

41:56

line producer was in charge of the budget, would come into

41:58

me, like give us the evil eye because we

42:00

were over here like in the overtime and

42:02

we but no one could hear us because Donald

42:05

and I would just do it so soft that only Sarah

42:07

could hear, and we go. Sarah

42:12

would start cracking up and she'd be like,

42:14

shut up, and everybody

42:16

wants to try to work, Sarah.

42:19

Everybody is tired, they want to go be with their

42:21

families. Stop it. And we'd be like, what

42:32

was up with the hat?

42:34

I joke about that. I don't

42:36

know was it a stylish maybe maybe back

42:38

in um let's see when this uh

42:40

in the I don't have the gate in front of me,

42:43

but maybe that was a style

42:45

At the moment, it was like, what do you call that a Dutch boy?

42:47

I don't know what it was, renee, you know style that

42:50

weird hat she's wearing Dutch boy the

42:53

episode? No, no,

42:55

actually no, I know what I noticed about the episode.

42:58

Actually for me, is it off times

43:00

when when Sarah because this

43:03

episode did not have a lot of her in it,

43:05

and whenever she'd have a day off, I would too.

43:08

So I remember watching the episode and being like Ed McMahon

43:10

was on scrub something I

43:13

didn't know that I know that was you

43:15

know who wasn't on this episode at all? It

43:18

was KenKen, the

43:20

no conco in this episode at all.

43:23

That's interesting, that's true, and

43:25

we should mention another member of our

43:28

posse is not with us today,

43:30

but we should have her on sometimes. Katia,

43:32

who was who was Judy's standing

43:34

and she was in our our our posse as

43:36

well, and we had tons of good times with her, So

43:39

we want to we gotta have Katia come We gotta have Katia

43:42

come on too. I know this episode had a lot

43:44

of turkey. Turkey in Karla together, so that

43:46

meant that, you know, Katia

43:48

were together a lot. So wait, did we get the

43:50

bathtub scene? Were you guys? Did you guys have

43:52

to get into water? Also? We got

43:55

in the bathtub of pre water. I'm

43:57

a sicker. That's gross. If I know that, you

44:00

know that they wouldn't have them get in the same water as

44:03

well. Nowadays they wouldn't go the times

44:05

they wouldn't, but back then, the shit, oh,

44:07

I want to talk about it. So you know, ideally

44:09

for camera and lighting purposes, your standing

44:12

is your exact height now, Deontat,

44:18

it's very frustrating if the camera operators

44:20

sets up a shot on someone five five

44:22

and then a six foot tall person walks

44:24

in. All right,

44:28

Deontay tell everyone because Dean Donald

44:31

brought in Deonta because they were buddies. Well,

44:33

no, we worked together before. I've known Deontay

44:35

since Clueless. So here's here's here's

44:37

the skin I want them to tell. I want Deontay to tell

44:39

about his shoes. Okay, but we can get to

44:41

the shoes. But Deontay. I met Deontay

44:44

on Clueless. He would do background on Clueless,

44:46

right, and then he went over to Sabrina the teenage

44:48

Witch, right, And when I did guest spot,

44:50

when I guess spotted on Sabrina,

44:52

he was there and he was the standing

44:55

for my character. And I was like, dude, do you want

44:57

to do this like all the time, Like I've known

44:59

you since Clueless. We've got a great Brett

45:01

parte. Let's freaking let's let's

45:03

let's make this happen. And so when Scrubs

45:05

started, there was another guy in who

45:08

they hired somebody else and

45:10

um, he had to leave,

45:13

and I was like, I got the perfect guy.

45:15

It's Deonte. And Deonta came

45:17

in and Deontay, yes, it's five

45:19

eight and I about

45:23

I'm five eleven slash six feet, like

45:25

I'm in between. You can you can be a typical actor

45:27

and round that up to six feet. I'm six six

45:29

feet. And so Deontay comes

45:31

in and they're like, yo, what are we gonna

45:33

do about this? But luckily we had this dude, JK

45:36

who was also a standing on the show. Right he

45:38

was he was Neil's standing. No, he

45:40

was, he was Johnny standing and Neils

45:44

as well. And so to get so I'll

45:47

let Deontay take it from there. Well,

45:50

basically to get up to Donald's, I

45:52

basically wore these platform shoes

45:54

that had three or four inches of platforms

45:57

on them. They were platform sneakers, platform

46:00

sneakers, but you would have to run,

46:05

you have to play basketball.

46:08

Oh my god, you know I have

46:10

so many questions. Doante Is it true that

46:12

you, for your own job security, went

46:14

out and had them made yourself? I

46:17

did. I went out and had those maids. Yeah,

46:19

exactly. You didn't expense it, didn't

46:22

paid for them, they ask Oh they did. Okay,

46:25

Oh yeah, I thought you were worried that they were gonna

46:27

can you even though you were Donald's friend, because it made

46:29

no sense to have was standing nothing so nice. Oh

46:31

no, I wasn't worried, but you know, I had to go to it an

46:34

interview to be Donald's

46:36

stand in, and they brought in like four other guys,

46:38

and you know, you're standing outside. You guys are already

46:41

working or standing outside, and people

46:43

come out and they just look at you and not say anything

46:45

like eighty comes out

46:48

so awkward. They just look at you know what's is and it's

46:50

me standing between all

46:53

six. They're

46:57

looking it look like they're thinking about it, like you're

46:59

gonna and then should

47:02

we go with the guy the one guy? How about we

47:04

go with the one guy who's nowhere near Donald's. Hey,

47:08

well I had I had the opposite thing happened.

47:10

I actually knew Franklin and I

47:12

go from my I had to you know. He was like, Hey,

47:14

there's this this show, you

47:16

want to come work on it? And I

47:19

He sent all these girls down

47:21

from Central Casting that looked nothing like

47:23

Sarah. So I walked into the room. I'm the only

47:25

blonde, young lady

47:29

in there. There's all these older women who

47:31

are like Brunette, and I'm thinking I'm in the wrong place.

47:33

Well, it turned out that Franklin kind

47:36

of stacked the deck in my had

47:39

to pick me. That's nice of him. Yeah,

47:43

but I don't know why. I don't know. They

47:45

must have whispered in the dpf ear.

47:47

Oh that's Donald's friend, I mean yeah,

47:49

yeah. So yeah, after they

47:52

did the whispering and they send everyone home,

47:54

they said they're going with me and they let the other guys

47:56

go. The other guys must have been like, what the fuck,

48:01

that's Hollywood. Yeah. Yeah, And I

48:03

walked in the hospital with with John Inwood

48:05

Record photography and he whispers

48:08

over to me, good thing, you know, Donald, there's

48:10

really good matches over Yeah.

48:14

To be yeah, to be fair, they didn't really

48:16

love me either, especially because Zach

48:19

your hair was so velumin there's

48:21

so much volume to it, spiked up so

48:24

high. Yeah, and they were they were like, you're

48:26

a little too pale and your

48:28

hair is like, I mean, I couldn't.

48:30

I didn't have that volume in my hair. I'm

48:32

sorry. It's just not washing it Scott, if you really want

48:34

to achieve it now, it's not washing. But

48:37

I do have I dug up a couple of pictures of

48:39

me in the Zach Wig which I had, Oh my

48:42

god, goes at home? Can wait? Why

48:44

why did you? Did you double me or something

48:46

else? I did? I doubled quite a bit, and

48:48

like I did, I mean to be fair. I don't

48:50

know if they would do this now, but I did a couple of stunts

48:53

like with noon, like not

48:55

real hardcore stunts, but I rode the moped

48:57

and like went like they'd be like getting the JD

48:59

win again. They called that, They

49:02

called that. What did they call it? It's like a

49:05

hazard pass. Yeah, but you weren't

49:07

doing it. Don't don't mislead people that we were

49:09

putting you in danger. I was always engaging.

49:11

You know, you wrote a scooter. Okay,

49:14

you're a grown man. You can handle it now.

49:16

Scott came. I asked Scott because I

49:19

loved him to come and do Garden State.

49:21

And I didn't think that you would

49:23

say yes, because I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna have to spend so much

49:25

time with this standing my first feature.

49:28

And it was all the way in New Jersey and I forgot

49:31

how where did you stay? But you came and it was awesome.

49:33

Where did you stay? I stayed with a

49:35

friend of mine in like Hoboken, So

49:38

I was getting It was such a hard shoot

49:40

because of that, because I had to get on the train at like four am

49:43

every day. That just getting and then I think we got

49:45

we took like a bus at Midtown, but

49:48

it took me like an hour and a half to get to

49:50

the bus. And then we drove into like Jersey

49:53

and I was like, god, you you were

49:55

taking the train into Manhattan to get a bus

49:57

to go back to h I

50:00

never knew that because I had to. Yeah, I had.

50:03

I'm so sorry. I would have set up a

50:05

cot for you in my hotel room, but no.

50:07

It was amazing because you know, you were very loyal

50:09

and that's part of like the whole set, you

50:11

know. I appreciate that, and um, you know,

50:14

every the experience was great because, like you

50:16

know, I got to meet Natalie Portman and

50:18

she learned my name. I think I was

50:21

just remembering this earlier. I think you

50:23

taught her the Rabbidu song on

50:25

that Yeah, and

50:31

Natalie port we sang that when we when whenever

50:33

we couldn't find Scott, which wasn't that we

50:36

exaggerated that we could never find him. He that's

50:38

he was always right there. But we made up a song

50:40

where Rabbidu rabid Where is Rabbidu

50:42

because that's his last name. So are you saying that Natalie

50:44

Portman serenaded you with the rabbidue song she

50:47

did at one point. I think that's a good

50:49

memory and it seems yeah, it seems like. And

50:51

she also saw me in my underwear because I was in that pool

50:54

for you remember the fool shot. Yeah, I

50:56

was like super embarrassed that I was a

50:58

little shriveled that point getting into

51:01

pool. So Natalie

51:04

Partman is seeing me in my underwear, and I'm like,

51:06

you know, anyway, So

51:09

you're saying that you wish that Natalie

51:11

hadn't seen you in a shriveled situation.

51:15

Okay, yes exactly. And then but

51:17

then you know, it was the sacrifice for the

51:19

shot you were directing. I

51:21

had to get it was cold, it was it was

51:23

I know, we tried so hard to get that pool warm

51:26

and uh and we had to because I knew we were gonna

51:28

have to spend the whole night in it. And yeah,

51:30

it never was warm enough. Everyone was a trooper.

51:32

But I, by the way, remind me when we get

51:35

off to send you some cool pictures

51:37

because I found I was looking through old photos

51:39

and I found pictures of you in

51:41

the in the the boat that we're in at the very end,

51:43

I found pictures of you hanging out, and uh,

51:45

you'll I think you'll be glad to have them. Oh really,

51:48

Yeah, that's great. All right, but let's get back to the television

51:50

show Scrubs. So let's look. Elliott

51:52

lived with the Babcox who were

51:55

very old and thought she was a ghost. That

51:58

ship had me roland. Yeah.

52:02

I laughed so hard at that for some reason,

52:04

the fact that these old people let

52:06

Elliott live with her and thought

52:09

she was a ghost. But first of all, you're skip you're

52:11

skipping me pulling out the cable bars. Because

52:13

I was. I was. I was

52:15

so pissed that you guys were evicting me. That

52:18

was funny. That was This was actually

52:20

a very funny episode because of that. Uh,

52:23

my wife and I we Zach

52:26

is our third wheel, or at one point was our

52:28

third wheel, and we did everything

52:30

together. I was this guy

52:32

just short of saying sorry about

52:34

the Tusie guy, just short of saying sorry

52:36

about the Tusie everything

52:39

together. And so watching

52:41

this, I was like, you know, and then at the end

52:43

of the show, you know that the Turk

52:45

and caller can they think they're in trouble

52:47

and everything. But I never I

52:49

never questioned my wife and I's

52:52

relationship based on you

52:54

being a part of it. But I just remember everywhere

52:57

we went and everything we did, Zach

52:59

was always with us. And so watching

53:02

this, it's like, and I remember when Zach wasn't

53:04

around and we were like, well, what the fuck are we

53:06

gonna do now? Right, just like in

53:08

the show. Just like in the show,

53:11

They're like, they were so happy to get rid

53:13

of me because they just wanted to fuck, that's all.

53:16

They just wanted to fuck without fuck in the kitchen.

53:18

They wanted to fuck the kitchen. They did it once and then they were

53:20

like, we missed t D. Right. Basically,

53:25

the plot of this episode is turk

53:28

It and Carl I want to fuck in the kitchen. They

53:30

kicked JD out. They fucking the kitchen.

53:32

They missed g D. I

53:39

get it. You may and Dunk

53:41

kids live with me right now, you know what I mean? And

53:43

and and I love it when

53:46

my daughter goes to her boyfriend's house and

53:49

freaking my son he's in school

53:51

right now. I love when they're gone and

53:53

it's just me and my wife in the house because

53:56

we get to do shit that we don't normally get

53:58

to do, and it's such a great feeling

54:00

to have that moment. But then, yeah,

54:03

we could in the kitchen. I always remember that.

54:06

Remember that monologue and Ben Harry met Sally Donald one

54:08

of your favorite movies, when gosh, when she's

54:10

talking about having sex on the on the tile

54:12

floor, she goes fucking the kitchen.

54:14

She said, we'd never had sex in the kitchen, and

54:16

he's like, you never had sex in the kitchen. She's like,

54:18

oh no, you'd hate it. The floor was made out

54:20

of tile, tile so cold.

54:27

Yeah, no doubt. We should

54:29

mention that our guest star is Michael Boatman,

54:31

who was very funny and one of the another

54:34

one of the Spin City casts, all the stars

54:36

who came to visit us. Yeah,

54:39

he did a great job on this also, Yeah, he really

54:41

did. I love how he enters by chopper. But they

54:43

were clearly too cheap to pay for the chopper,

54:46

so there's no shot of the chopper. It's

54:48

just like a wind machine and a ladder drop drops

54:51

out of nowhere. Like, guys, come on, you could have

54:53

bought a stock shot of a chopper like, You're

54:56

like, no, kid, we're broke.

54:58

We spent all the money. Yeah,

55:00

um, what about? What what about when I randomly

55:03

say I banged your first girlfriend Chantell

55:05

because I know you go I banged your first girlfriend.

55:08

I go Shantell. Yeah, that's

55:10

so funny because I'm trying to

55:12

fight you. I'm like, I'm bang your first

55:14

girlfriend. You go Shantell, shan tell.

55:18

But then we never talk you about it again. We just move

55:20

on. That's it. That's a rat's funny.

55:22

So this is the first time you see tower finger man,

55:25

I laughed every time. When your breaking

55:27

foot is in Sarah's face, I

55:34

laughed down loud because he misses

55:36

JD. And Sarah's like the surrogate who's

55:39

over to be like I can be fun too. And

55:41

then you see Total's footage he's

55:44

trying to relive the experience with

55:47

and she goes, I told you, Turko, I don't want to play tote

55:49

finger and then immediately turks baby.

55:51

I thought that we tell Elliott to leave. Man. What

55:57

about the little says that it's always toe

56:01

so always what

56:05

about? Um? I laughed out loud when I

56:07

went, um, I'm riding

56:10

the scooter with rowdy on the back and Rowdy

56:12

has a helmet on. Yes, yeah,

56:15

I will I will say I remember

56:17

that episode for the because

56:19

you know, like we were explaining the role

56:21

of a stand in so the DP. When

56:24

John was like setting these shots, he

56:26

would be like, uh, rabbity, it's not

56:29

working to you have rowdy and he would be like,

56:31

props bringing rowdy. So I'd have to

56:33

stand in holding Rowdy

56:35

for thirty forty five minutes under

56:37

hot lights. And

56:39

I don't know if you notice that lights. Yeah,

56:41

I don't know. He had this aroma. I

56:43

don't know if are you, sir covering

56:48

Yeah, I don't know if it was the prop department covering.

56:51

Maybe he probably smells like because

56:53

they were covering him. But

56:57

he was a dead animal, you know he

56:59

was. But it didn't you

57:01

know, it was like an homage to him.

57:04

I get it. It wasn't. It wasn't gross

57:06

in the moment, you know, it was. It was like an homage to

57:09

It's never it's never discussed why JD

57:11

was able in the divorce, was able to get rowdy

57:13

Donald. I guess. I guess I must have been

57:16

the one who paid for him or something. You've

57:18

probably snatched Rowdy too. There's no way Carlo

57:20

was gonna let Rowdy stay in the apartment. Also,

57:22

I do think it's funny the only Oh, that's probably why

57:24

Carlo. I do think it's funny

57:26

that the only thing I took was the cable box

57:28

and rally. Yeah.

57:32

I love that you go to all of these different places

57:34

too to stay, and right,

57:37

the one place that you decide on for

57:39

one night is staying with the Todd.

57:42

Oh that's the that's

57:45

the funniest part of the episode.

57:47

I mean, he says.

57:49

He says, the Todd is not accustomed to receiving

57:51

gentleman. Yeah,

57:57

true, Oh my god. And then

57:59

the pres of all the people on the swimming team

58:01

and he's like, which one does you

58:07

because because there's the biggest,

58:10

the big, the big of all

58:12

the swimmers, and I go, oh, which funnies

58:14

and total dead band. He goes, oh,

58:17

I don't swim.

58:20

That was oh my

58:23

god. And then he shows all his um,

58:25

his his banana havocks and it's

58:27

a lit closet like lights in it

58:30

and they're all lined up and he goes, what are you about

58:32

a medium? And I go like extra

58:34

medium and

58:37

he goes, he goes this will do and it's

58:39

gonna look great. What does he say, it's gonna look good?

58:43

Yes, that's the funniest

58:45

fucking shit man. Donald rewatching

58:48

the show, you guys, and we have a whole new respect

58:50

for Rob. Like Rob, Rob steals

58:52

every episode, every episode

58:54

Rob is in. His line is the funniest

58:57

line of the episode every time. And

58:59

I remember when we were shooting this, I remember being like, it

59:01

goes, Rob running line again, look

59:03

at a run in line. But dude, he

59:05

delivers every fucking

59:08

time. We were always making fun of him, like,

59:10

oh, come on, Rob, you run in line again? And

59:12

now we were we watching it. Good thing he ran

59:14

line. He's fucking hilarious. He's fucking hilarious.

59:17

Dude. We have a caller, Yes, so guys,

59:19

I know you don't listen to the show, or you pretend to, but

59:22

we take a caller, Renee, Renee, I

59:24

believe you at least um,

59:26

So we take a caller, as you

59:28

know, and uh, and we give him two questions.

59:30

I don't know why Daniel and Joelle have decided not

59:33

to attend this episode. Why do you guys hate

59:35

our friends? You don't you don't want to meet the game,

59:40

do you Ultimate hangout Fest. Did you guys,

59:42

did you guys break off into a separate rooms

59:48

on each other we didn't want to know? Well, I want you

59:50

guys to meet our friends and get to know and

59:52

love them. We're gonna

59:54

take a break and when we come back, we're gonna have a guest, and

59:56

then we're gonna talk to the guests. That's gonna be delicious.

59:58

Here we go right back and

1:00:06

we're back. We are back, all

1:00:08

right, bringing the guests. Don't be shy, Renee,

1:00:10

Scott and Deonta. You're gonna share your knowledge

1:00:12

of scrubs. And we're also going to do

1:00:14

a segment called Fix Your Life where we give

1:00:16

them really great psychological

1:00:19

help. Here,

1:00:22

ladies and gentlemen, give it up for ear.

1:00:32

Welcome, I and you got you have. I think you

1:00:34

This is the biggest assemblage of people we've ever had

1:00:36

on the show at one time, right, Joel and

1:00:39

um wow, I don't know if you've been briefed, Ian, but

1:00:41

these three lovely people were our stand ins.

1:00:44

The handsome man in blue, the particularly handsome

1:00:46

man in blue was my stand in, and

1:00:48

Renee was Sarah's. And that handsome

1:00:51

man with the those dreads or twists,

1:00:53

Deionta. Yes, dude,

1:00:57

you went from twists to bold to

1:00:59

twists to ball to twists

1:01:01

against my quarantine hair. And

1:01:04

you might remember Dante is the only person in

1:01:06

nine years of Scrubs to wear Pooka shells

1:01:08

on the show. If

1:01:12

you're ever curious who,

1:01:14

just go back to your Shoubs episodes

1:01:17

and you'll see he's the African American wearing booka

1:01:19

shell. Not only were they Pooka shells, they

1:01:21

were chokers too. He would wear a choker

1:01:24

pok nice.

1:01:26

Oh my god. I like to think it's because he got in

1:01:28

as a child and then grew into it.

1:01:44

All right, So Ian, where are you calling from,

1:01:46

sir? I'm in the town called Westchester,

Yes, if you live in Westchester, you're also welcome

1:02:23

to use that. Yeah, it's an

1:02:25

amazing town. Come out some time. I don't

1:02:27

think that will ever happen. That will never happen.

1:02:29

I don't really think that, you know, Listen, I've

1:02:31

only got about forty five years left. I just don't know if

1:02:33

Westchester as

1:02:38

I as I weigh rome. All

1:02:42

right, so what's your what's your question for us, sir?

1:02:45

And I hope it's I hope it's something that's that that

1:02:47

these one wonderful people can weigh in on as well.

1:02:49

Yeah. Yeah, I love to you from everyone here, um and super

1:02:51

honored. Thanks for having met dude. We're

1:02:54

so happy you're on. Men, We're happy you're here. And it all

1:02:56

has to do with that beautiful freckled lady right there

1:02:58

who had a who's smiling because she a very

1:03:00

nice date. But we'll talk about that later. Oh

1:03:03

fascinating. Yeah, And Joel

1:03:05

said in the email, She's like, hey, I don't think I don't

1:03:07

think Donald will be on with you, And I was like, that's fine,

1:03:09

I might not get my intro, but then to come in. First

1:03:11

thing I hear is Donald given me that that solid

1:03:13

interrot. So I appreciate that that's how it goes.

1:03:17

Yeah, So my question basically is just so I'm an

1:03:19

educator and um, you know, in my role,

1:03:21

like we're always reflecting on what we do, um

1:03:23

the second we finished teaching, like we're

1:03:26

our worst critics and we're

1:03:28

always picking a part like there's nobody. I don't

1:03:30

think any teacher feels like they did a phenomenal

1:03:32

job once they leave a lesson. And

1:03:34

I'm curious in your roles, um, like how

1:03:37

how you feel when you're done, Like do you feel

1:03:39

have you walked off a set? Have you walked off

1:03:41

a scene where you're like, I just there's

1:03:43

it's it, it's And I've heard you say like it's in the can

1:03:45

We're good. Um. But but I've

1:03:47

been fascinated to to hear your comments of um,

1:03:50

like some of it sounds like like I guess

1:03:52

my question is like do you go back and watch that before

1:03:55

it goes live? Or when do

1:03:57

you get a chance to like kind of watch your

1:04:00

watch your craft in action. So

1:04:02

what you're saying is actually something that

1:04:05

a lot of actors do and you

1:04:07

can't help but do it so I'll

1:04:10

have let's say, whether it be an audition or

1:04:13

you have the job. At

1:04:15

the end of the day. As

1:04:17

an actor, for me, I always reflect

1:04:20

on what I did, you know what I mean? I think back,

1:04:22

what did I do? You know what's

1:04:24

usable, what's not usable, And

1:04:28

then all of a sudden jokes start to come and

1:04:31

or the way I said it, a

1:04:34

different cadence or a different a

1:04:37

different emotion comes and I said, oh, I could

1:04:39

have did it this way, like, oh man, this

1:04:42

joke would have been really funny if I would have said this instead.

1:04:44

Or I wonder if they have the one

1:04:46

where I So that always happens.

1:04:49

Now, that doesn't mean I think I did a bad job,

1:04:52

but it definitely I definitely feel like

1:04:56

I don't always, you know, leave

1:04:58

it all out there. I don't get it all out out because

1:05:00

there's so much more after

1:05:03

you're done, and hindsight is twenty twenty

1:05:06

as as we all know. So yes,

1:05:08

in my experience, I do

1:05:11

that all the time where it's like I

1:05:13

think I did a good job, but if I just

1:05:15

had one more day to think about it, I probably could

1:05:17

have done it better. You know, I

1:05:19

would go off into the edit suite

1:05:22

on Scrubs. It was on the first floor, and

1:05:25

I would I was kind of I was I wanted to learn,

1:05:27

you know, about filmmaking, and but

1:05:29

I also wanted to

1:05:31

sort of see what they were putting in, because

1:05:34

you know, we would do so many different versions and

1:05:36

ultimately would be up to Bill what was going to go in the

1:05:38

show. And as he and I became closer,

1:05:41

I would I would campaign for things. I like, like,

1:05:43

you're not gonna put that in? That was the whole crew.

1:05:45

You know. Sometimes Bill wasn't on set, so

1:05:48

he at the time we were doing something, so he wouldn't

1:05:50

know that. Like, you know, we don't have a live studio

1:05:52

audience obviously, so we only have the crew and

1:05:54

these guys here obviously, so we

1:05:56

would we would judge it by like, oh, dude, the

1:05:58

whole crew and the and everyone was cracking

1:06:01

up. Why didn't you want to use that? So you're sort of

1:06:03

jockeying to get the version you

1:06:05

think is best in, but you have

1:06:08

to sort of let it go because it's not

1:06:10

you know, it's not unless you're the director

1:06:12

or the show runner. It's not really

1:06:14

up to you that's something you have to get used to as an

1:06:16

actor. Um different

1:06:18

from being a theater actor is that you

1:06:21

do it all these different ways and

1:06:23

then you give it off to someone and say,

1:06:25

oh, please don't make me look bad, Please

1:06:28

make me look good, and you might see

1:06:30

a cut. You know. Sometimes we've we've

1:06:32

all experienced this as actors, that you watch

1:06:34

it and you go, oh, what happened? Why

1:06:36

was that so much funnier on the day,

1:06:39

because it's all made in the in the edit

1:06:41

room. You know. Johnny Steves to jokingly

1:06:44

go, we'd finish a scene and it

1:06:46

was it had gone well, and he'd and

1:06:48

I've said this on the podcast are our main editor was

1:06:50

named John Michelle, and he'd go, we gave

1:06:52

John Michelle some mammo cockily

1:06:56

stroll he'd sort of cockily stroll off,

1:06:59

and I I remember thinking, like, yeah, we gave

1:07:01

John Michelle amo, but I hope he I hope

1:07:03

he fires

1:07:05

the gun correctly right, and

1:07:07

Johnny CEO if he didn't feel like he did something

1:07:10

right, he yelled again like he's scared.

1:07:12

Yeah, that's one you're absolutely

1:07:15

bright about that, Reynee. That's one person who

1:07:17

I believe when Johnny was done he was like, I

1:07:19

got everything out that I wanted to get

1:07:21

out. Uh, there's

1:07:23

no I didn't. I left it all on

1:07:26

the table. Welbe them to work with. We made

1:07:28

up a song for Sarah. Um And

1:07:30

because no matter how many the directors

1:07:32

on our show were always great, and they do something

1:07:34

an actor's love, which is, hey,

1:07:36

I'm good to move on? Are you okay to move on?

1:07:39

To the actor. They would say that and the actor

1:07:41

could be like, yeah, I'm good. I think I got no other

1:07:43

ideas. Let's move on. But Sarah, without

1:07:45

fail would go one more, one more,

1:07:47

and so we started calling her Sarah one Morsey.

1:07:50

Do you guys remember this song? Yes, Sarah

1:07:56

she wants one more when she's

1:07:58

had five. Sarah

1:08:04

one Morsey was one of our jams. Yeah.

1:08:06

I think, like, um, there's like that, you

1:08:08

know, there'd be like that immediate feedback that

1:08:11

you know, in between takes versus looking

1:08:13

at stuff after we've moved on, you know later.

1:08:16

I think a lot of times me and Donald would talk

1:08:18

in between takes, and you know, because

1:08:20

he trusted that, uh you know, as

1:08:22

his friend and as his stand in, he trusted me. You

1:08:24

know, we kind of discussed sometimes, like you

1:08:26

know that take or you hit this, you know,

1:08:29

and I think that really hopefully that he'll helped

1:08:31

him out. Well, yeah, absolutely takes,

1:08:34

absolutely and that's true. Like it's

1:08:36

always great to have somebody who's

1:08:39

not in the who's

1:08:42

pretty much got your back to bounce ideas

1:08:44

off of it. Yeah, I never knew that you guys did that. That's awesome.

1:08:47

Yeah, my pep talk. You

1:08:50

didn't ask. You never ask. Now.

1:08:58

Well, I also had a problem

1:09:00

remembering lines, and so uh,

1:09:03

you know, Deontay would help me with

1:09:06

You didn't have a problem memorizing lines. You chose

1:09:08

to not memorize your lines, and

1:09:11

that is a problem, sir. Yeah,

1:09:13

yeah, the problem you had was that you

1:09:15

were playing video games instead of memorizing

1:09:17

your lines. Yes, or at the club did

1:09:21

you do that? We would be at the club until like four

1:09:23

o'clock in the morning, and Zach would still be able

1:09:25

to get to work and know his lines. And shit, I used

1:09:27

we say that like we say that like it happened all the time. That

1:09:30

probably happened like five times that we were like out

1:09:32

that late over the course of this time. But I

1:09:35

two of us were out there. I would never I would

1:09:37

never um go out like if

1:09:39

I was going out out, I would and

1:09:41

we were stupid and young. I would not

1:09:44

do it on a day when I a night before I

1:09:46

had like a big monologue or something. You would go

1:09:48

out and be like what are we doing? And I'd be like, you have

1:09:50

a one page monologue and like awesome,

1:09:59

all right, Ian, what's your question? Well?

1:10:01

I just you know, I think, um, coming

1:10:04

from a LEDs and music, Um,

1:10:06

you know, I have I have a fixed my life that I could definitely use

1:10:08

some help with. But I think in terms of like this question,

1:10:11

Um, there are moments when when I watch a show

1:10:13

that things just hit me heavy and

1:10:15

the music in the background just plays such pivo

1:10:17

apart. I don't know if you if how many

1:10:19

people watch Handmaid's Tale on here they've

1:10:22

seen season two of Handmaid's

1:10:24

Tale. Um, and they bring everybody out

1:10:26

spoiler alert maybe Um, they bring all

1:10:28

the Handmaids out and they're about to hand

1:10:30

them um, and there's a song in the background.

1:10:33

I still can't listen to that song without like getting

1:10:35

a little, like fully emotional. And

1:10:37

I think, just like I would love to hear any of your thoughts in

1:10:39

terms of a if you've experience like

1:10:42

what experiences you've had with that watching like

1:10:44

just being a participant as a as a viewer

1:10:46

of a movie or show. Um. And

1:10:48

then also like if like if you've been a

1:10:50

part for anyone who's who's been a

1:10:52

part of like the musical selection or a recommendation

1:10:55

like songs that you've kind of just like pocketed and

1:10:58

brought out for that moment. That makes sense. Zach

1:11:00

is the king of soundtrack, so he

1:11:03

he'll probably have a better answer for this. But

1:11:05

I remember, you know, I'm a huge I'm

1:11:08

a huge Star Wars fan, right, And I remember

1:11:10

at a very young age knowing that the music

1:11:13

was Yeah, you didn't know that, Zach. I'm a huge Star Wars

1:11:15

fan. Donald

1:11:17

likes Star Wars, loves Star Wars

1:11:20

anyway. Um, But at a very young

1:11:22

age, I realized that the music

1:11:25

was very important for movies.

1:11:28

So when I went and saw Jaws for

1:11:30

the first time, I wasn't

1:11:32

scared of the shark coming

1:11:34

out of the water and seeing you know, the

1:11:37

gore and all of that stuff. What scared

1:11:39

me was dud dud

1:11:42

dune, dun dun dun dun dun

1:11:44

dun dun dun dun d And so

1:11:46

I would cover my ears for that, I

1:11:48

would cover my ears and still look at the screen

1:11:50

because that what the screen wasn't

1:11:53

what was scary, the music or

1:11:55

the fully effect was.

1:11:57

And so to

1:12:00

to this day, yes, I know the importance of

1:12:02

music. I will say this, my

1:12:06

first experience of a

1:12:08

good song in a movie has

1:12:10

got to be like I

1:12:13

want to say, it's uh, it's

1:12:15

six which I

1:12:21

know must

1:12:25

be true. Now

1:12:31

seen candles? What? What? What was that? From

1:12:33

its spanned out ballet? Right? Is that the song

1:12:36

is that? I don't know who sings a song. All I know is

1:12:39

hearing that song with two people

1:12:42

on a table with

1:12:44

a sixteen candle

1:12:47

birthday kid, sixteen candles. I think

1:12:49

it had to do that. I think that's what I

1:12:51

love. I have no idea what movie was

1:12:54

they were sitting with sixteen candles

1:12:57

on a birthday kid on a table. Anyway,

1:13:00

we'll get to the bottom of this, but I

1:13:02

don't know if that was the movie. But there

1:13:04

was something about that that really held weight,

1:13:07

and you know, it was glory.

1:13:09

It was glory. It was right. If a movie gets that

1:13:11

right, if a movie gets that right, if the movie can

1:13:13

find that moment and get that right, it's

1:13:15

always it's phenomenal, you know. I

1:13:18

agree, I agree, And Scrubs did that a lot

1:13:20

ian and I can only take credit for a

1:13:22

few of them. We've said this before. Christa

1:13:25

Miller was a huge part of it. There

1:13:27

were certain writers on our staff, including

1:13:30

Neil Goldman. Of course, there were lots of other people

1:13:32

who submit ideas and I occasionally got some on It

1:13:35

really can move. I

1:13:37

think of it if your emotion is sort of wavering, if

1:13:39

you're on the fence, like am

1:13:41

I going to fully go there or not? The song just sort

1:13:43

of gently pushes you, you you know. And

1:13:46

and when you're trying songs

1:13:48

out in the edit room, you

1:13:50

can literally line up forty

1:13:53

of your favorite songs and you're

1:13:55

like, this is my favorite song. I mean, why would I not too?

1:13:57

And then you try it and just nothing happens. You're

1:13:59

like, it's men, and then you just keep

1:14:01

going and then a magical reaction happens.

1:14:03

I always I always point to the air. I

1:14:06

always point to the hair on my arms going up,

1:14:08

because you'll be watching it, and all of a sudden, when

1:14:10

it's right, you get goose bumps down

1:14:12

your arms and you go, well that, And I

1:14:14

remember pointing the bill a lot of times, and I'd be like, well,

1:14:16

that's a candidate, because something

1:14:19

magical just happens. Um,

1:14:22

I know, like a like a you know on set

1:14:24

and you know, you don't hear there's no music, You're right, music

1:14:27

cup in yet when they're filming, and

1:14:29

I just remember a lot of times sitting there watching a scene

1:14:31

that's pretty sad, I'm like, yeah, that seems kind of sad,

1:14:34

and then later on post editing,

1:14:37

you know you actually watched the episode and I'm

1:14:39

over here bawling, you know that.

1:14:42

Yeah. A perfect example for

1:14:44

me is when with that is

1:14:46

when Turk

1:14:49

is having a hard time figuring out his

1:14:53

vows his at the at the wedding

1:14:55

step for the rehearsal dinner,

1:14:57

he's having a hard time finger out what he's gonna say,

1:15:00

and uh, he's

1:15:02

his brother in law has tricked him

1:15:05

into saying that when Harry met Sally.

1:15:07

Uh in the monologue that Billy Crystal does at

1:15:10

the end of when Harry met Sally, And

1:15:12

then he's off in the corner with j D

1:15:14

and he's like, I just don't get it. You know, everything

1:15:17

with Carla has just seems like perfect when such and

1:15:19

such an and when I'm around her, I blah

1:15:22

blah blah, and I just can't get over and

1:15:24

j D looks at him and goes, well, why don't you just

1:15:26

say that? And I turned

1:15:28

to her and the music that plays

1:15:31

at that moment is Gavin Degrass. Oh,

1:15:34

this is the start of

1:15:37

something good follow

1:15:40

through, don't you agree?

1:15:42

Right? And when I

1:15:45

remember seeing that with

1:15:48

Judy and I watched that that episode

1:15:50

together and she had

1:15:52

seen it already, and when that happened,

1:15:54

I think we were doing we were doing

1:15:57

was that a fart? Daniel? I

1:16:01

think my table squeaked,

1:16:03

and it

1:16:08

might be this is I'm

1:16:10

definitely not coming to Westchester, Pennsyli. No.

1:16:14

But anyway, so that that moment was,

1:16:16

It's so powerful just from

1:16:18

the lyrics alone. I didn't even know the song. I had

1:16:20

to go and buy the song after, just so

1:16:23

I could hear what the entire

1:16:25

song was. And yeah, using play such

1:16:27

a big part in cinema

1:16:29

and television. Um and

1:16:33

of course winter in in Scrubs. I

1:16:35

think in in the episode Everyone Loves is a Josh

1:16:37

Braden's song was a huge example on the

1:16:39

Scrubs mine. I think I've said this before, but

1:16:41

I always pointed to me, one of the most significant

1:16:44

moments in television song placement

1:16:47

was Seas

1:16:49

Breathed Me in at the Six Feet

1:16:51

Under finale. I don't know if you've seen that show. Oh,

1:16:55

I got so many of them, freaking adventures

1:16:57

in babysitting with Uh, well, did

1:17:00

you think I would do at

1:17:02

this moment? Family Ties uses

1:17:04

that too? Love that Yeah, same one. Family Ties

1:17:07

it the same thing, right when he breaks up

1:17:09

with the girl for the first time and he's writing

1:17:11

her a letter. Yeah, when I'm standing before

1:17:13

me ps love and

1:17:16

he crossed the girl. Wasn't the girl Courtney

1:17:18

Cox, No, that was it was his wife, Courtney

1:17:20

Cox came after. Okay. So

1:17:23

if I can say beyond songs,

1:17:25

like, the power of a composer is

1:17:27

yes, you know, unmatched.

1:17:30

I mean because I'm working on a project now, I just started

1:17:32

working with a composer and you

1:17:34

have you know, Zach, you know this

1:17:36

like if you're if you're dealing with a rough

1:17:38

cut or you know, a radio edit or something that has

1:17:41

no music or sound effects, it's

1:17:43

like it doesn't have that life. Obviously,

1:17:45

in a composer, not only can they give you that feeling,

1:17:48

they can it can take a turn so

1:17:50

like if you want to sort of like have the shift

1:17:53

in emotion, they can do those sort

1:17:55

of like variable things that

1:17:57

that's that's customed to your

1:17:59

pictures. Spoke. Yeah, right, let's be spoke

1:18:01

to your picture that a song can't um.

1:18:03

So composers, you know Scrubs,

1:18:06

any television show, they're doing such

1:18:08

volume too. It's like, I have so

1:18:10

much respect for that. Well with

1:18:13

Scrubs, you know, Jan did.

1:18:15

Our composers did a fine job, but there

1:18:17

was you know, we're cranking out so many that

1:18:20

yes, they would use a lot of the same as we

1:18:22

all joke we use a lot of the same cues

1:18:24

blah blah blah blah blah blah.

1:18:31

Or when you needed a quick sting bound,

1:18:36

yes, I think you do. Boun I

1:18:41

always joked that. One day Bill was like, hey, I

1:18:43

need a quick sting here, and Jan was like stretching.

1:18:47

Okay, let me do my work for today.

1:18:51

There you go. All

1:18:55

1:18:58

So thank you yea. So the time to get

1:19:29

1:19:31

question I've been I've been wanting it forever. Um,

1:19:33

today I married my wife. I

1:19:35

said to her. I'm a big back in

1:19:37

the day man. I used to make mixtapes like Nobody's

1:19:40

1:19:42

1:19:44

that there was enough time and minutes and seconds and

1:19:46

1:20:10

Zach Donald, Scott, Deante, Joel.

1:20:14

Yeah, checked out of this podcast. This

1:20:16

all happened last night. Um,

1:20:19

so we're on this podcast.

1:20:21

I've been emailing them. You know. I listened to this NonStop,

1:20:25

no scrubs. She said,

1:20:30

I love it. I love that she thought I

1:20:32

was lim Manuel see

1:20:36

your name. There too many white

1:20:38

people, too many white people for Hamilton. All

1:20:41

right, welcome, happy anniversary.

1:20:44

When we got married, I made a promise every year I make

1:20:46

her a mixed team. Okay, now it's obviously

1:20:48

going to like a streaming service and like YouTube

1:20:50

playlists or whatever. But so as

1:20:52

I continue to put these together, like we've had a

1:20:54

crazy year, and so I'm always trying to

1:20:56

look for like I need, I need a jam. I need

1:20:59

a really good song that we can add

1:21:01

to this list. I love this one, I

1:21:03

love this one, and I just need

1:21:05

help kind of like, give me any I'm looking for

1:21:07

any inspiration. I mean the list

1:21:10

of songs goes from like hip hop to

1:21:12

old school to modern

1:21:14

stuff to to like Donald

1:21:16

you were talking about that sixteen candle song could

1:21:18

be on that I'm looking for. I gets

1:21:21

something to well, you know my favorite

1:21:23

one and you probably use it

1:21:25

already, but it's by Method Man

1:21:27

and Mary J. Blige. You're good

1:21:31

one I need to

1:21:34

get by I

1:21:41

Shorty. I'm there for you anytime you need

1:21:43

me. For real, girls, me and your world,

1:21:45

Believe me. Nothing to make a man feel

1:21:47

better than a woman. Bring with the crown

1:21:49

not be down for whatever. There are a

1:21:51

few things that's forever, my lady.

1:21:54

We can make war or make babies. I'm

1:21:56

just saying that's a good one. Why

1:21:58

don't we all go around and why don't we

1:22:00

all go around and recommend a song for their romantic

1:22:03

list. I'll give you, you guys a chance to

1:22:05

think about or go through your phones and look at something you

1:22:07

play a lot. I just discovered

1:22:10

this new song. By the way. I've been watching American Idol

1:22:12

this season, and I've been watched American

1:22:14

Idol in years and it's Kelly

1:22:17

No. I've seen it since then, but it's been a long time

1:22:19

since I truly watched it. And this season, you

1:22:21

know, we stumble into it and it's

1:22:23

really good. There's some genuine talent, and

1:22:27

I like that to keep it sort of young. The oldest person's

1:22:29

twenty six and the youngest person's fifteen, and

1:22:32

some of them are just like you cannot believe

1:22:34

their voices. But anyway, one of them sang

1:22:36

a song that I've been listening to NonStop. It's Ben

1:22:38

Rector brand New and

1:22:41

it's sort of a poppy rock, but it's

1:22:43

just so life affirming and it just gets you

1:22:45

amped up and makes you excited

1:22:47

to take on the day. So that's my suggestion

1:22:50

for this moment because I've been listening to it a lot.

1:22:52

Ben Rector brand new, Daniel,

1:22:55

Wait, one last thing that When Harry Met Sally

1:22:57

soundtrack has a bunch of really good

1:23:00

songs on it, whether it's It Had to Be You or

1:23:03

that Yeah you Can't Go wrong,

1:23:05

1:23:23

song by one of my favorite Newish

1:23:25

artist guy named Gabriel Garsan Montano, and

1:23:27

the song is called six eight and

1:23:29

it's kind of like a weird rhythm, but

1:23:31

the weird rhythm is about the weird rhythm of love and

1:23:34

uh it's it's it's a song

1:23:36

that you know, the music matches

1:23:39

the theme and the tone. It's a really good song

1:23:41

just called six space eight. Also,

trumpet player, I don't know by

1:27:18

trump you said, by trumpet player, I don't know.

1:27:21

Now I know why your music is so sad? Yeah?

1:27:27

on fire in this episode, let's be honest. I

1:27:29

1:27:33

1:27:59

yeah, thank you want

1:28:04

to talk about

1:28:04

God? I do

1:28:07

have something I want to plug actually,

1:28:09

can I yes, yes, Okay. I'm

1:28:11

finishing up my first documentary

1:28:13

feature, so Zach, you know how difficult

1:28:15

that process. I've been working on it for

1:28:17

like four years. And um,

1:28:19

the film is actually about a relative

1:28:22

of mine. His name is Billy Dean Anderson.

1:28:24

He was a criminal but also an outsider

1:28:27

artist who escaped a maximum security

1:28:29

prison and went to live in a Tennessee

1:28:31

cave for four and a half years while he was on the run,

1:28:34

and so in the cave he painted, sculpted,

1:28:37

kept a journal. Um. So

1:28:40

my sort of intent with the project is to shift

1:28:42

the focus away from his criminality, which the

1:28:44

local sort of prop up um

1:28:46

as this like he's as this defiant sort

1:28:48

of folk hero figure, and uh, shift

1:28:50

focused to his art, his art and his creative

1:28:53

life, and sort of show the

1:28:55

power of his art to reconnect him to his humanity.

1:28:58

Sounds incredible, Yeah, that's I'm

1:29:00

working with a composer now in like in the final

1:29:02

stages. All right, So you're just telling everyone

1:29:04

to look out for it when when it's done, it's what you're saying, Yes

1:29:07

I have. What's the website it's called a

1:29:10

Long Hard Streak, which is not pornographic

1:29:12

in anyway. It's it's actually a piece of his

1:29:14

writing. It's like a

1:29:17

brain. My brain did not go to something pornographic,

1:29:24

thanks Scott. It's

1:29:27

a section of his writing. It's a it's a it's

1:29:30

like a phrase from his poetry. Okay,

1:29:32

And what's the website where people can check out your work?

1:29:34

It's Long Hard Streak dot com, Longhardstreak

1:29:37

dot com. Everyone check out the legendary

1:29:40

Scott Rabidu's documentary, which

1:29:42

sounds very interesting. I'll be the first person watching

1:29:44

it when you're done, Deane. Anything

1:29:46

you want to um

1:29:51

No, I just want to you know, I'm not plug anything. I just want to say,

1:29:53

I'm want to plug you guys say thanks

1:29:55

a lot for having us on, Thanks a lot for you

1:29:58

know, the years on Scrubs. You

1:30:00

know, you guys probably don't even realize

1:30:02

that you know, we're standing in so we're watching

1:30:05

all the time. That's all we do. Were there fourteen hours

1:30:07

a day. I learned so much

1:30:10

from from from Uzach and you, Donald

1:30:12

and Bill and the directors and all

1:30:14

the writers. It

1:30:17

was just I couldn't I couldn't ask for a better

1:30:19

place to actually learn comedy.

1:30:23

Um, you guys don't know. Like after the show ended, I

1:30:25

went on to stand in on other

1:30:27

shows, mostly sitcoms, and every

1:30:29

show I went to I would end up getting

1:30:31

a part because I would do the run

1:30:33

through for something that's not cast

1:30:36

and they would be like, wow, this guy gets

1:30:38

it and gets comedy. And it was because the

1:30:42

training I got on scrubs every day.

1:30:44

So I just want to say thank you, thank you. It

1:30:47

was you went off and did improv for a bit too,

1:30:49

though, didn't you. I did? I did uh

1:30:51

Neil Flynn, you know. I just thought he was

1:30:54

hilarious and he put me onto his

1:30:56

improv Olympic UH studio

1:30:59

and I went there for a couple of years and

1:31:01

did all their all their levels of training

1:31:03

and shows over there. So

1:31:05

I mean I was going to work with you guys twell,

1:31:07

fourteen hours a day, leaving there going straight

1:31:09

over to do improv. So

1:31:12

for years, I just I feel like, I just got the

1:31:14

best training that

1:31:16

you could possibly get and it just let you

1:31:18

know, it just lets me to get more work

1:31:20

just because you guys, and you guys are always so generous.

1:31:23

I don't yes out there, you guys don't know. I would have auditions

1:31:25

and these guys like I

1:31:28

like almost everyone on the cast, like what are you doing to day?

1:31:30

I'm like, oh, I got an audition at you all right, well

1:31:33

let's see it, and they would help

1:31:35

me. So it was just amazing.

1:31:37

I couldn't well. We always

1:31:39

we always rooted, We always rooted for all you guys,

1:31:42

and we love you. And I'm so happy

1:31:44

to see you. I mean, I I just I

1:31:47

really miss you guys, and I look at you and I

1:31:49

just have a smile creep across my face because I

1:31:51

think of all the fun times we had together. Renee,

1:31:54

is there anything you want to Well, No, I'm

1:31:56

I'm I'm a stay at home mom now

1:31:58

and well homeschooling because of COVID. But

1:32:01

yeah, Scrubs. It helped me.

1:32:03

After I left Scrubs, I was a

1:32:05

PR director for an arts foundation

1:32:07

in school, and of course being on Scrubs

1:32:10

helped me to, you know, be

1:32:12

a good PR person because

1:32:14

I was so used to you

1:32:16

know, it kind of gave me the confidence and the background

1:32:20

to feel solid in that

1:32:22

career and that I did that for

1:32:24

many years until I became a stay

1:32:26

at home mom, And to

1:32:28

this day, I mean I would ask I

1:32:30

would ask Andy rosson why

1:32:33

he lit things certain ways, why he did

1:32:35

that, how he got rid

1:32:37

of shadows? And I can take great

1:32:40

photos of my of my daughter

1:32:43

because every single person on

1:32:45

Scrubs had I had a camera,

1:32:47

had a like ahead of this, head of that, and

1:32:49

they were all doing these things

1:32:52

and you just couldn't help but get it

1:32:55

was like it was like a course. Yeah,

1:32:58

you know private. I

1:33:00

feel the same way. I um.

1:33:04

I think about how much I learned from from

1:33:06

people on that show and and

1:33:09

and even for me it's the often

1:33:12

obviously Bill, but a lot of the directors. I mean, so

1:33:14

much I learned about comedy directing from It

1:33:16

was like a grad school. We all got to

1:33:18

learn from all these really really talented people. Yeah

1:33:21

yeah, Zach, I mean I echoed

1:33:23

exactly what Deonte said, Oh, now you're gonna get

1:33:27

tip. No, but in

1:33:29

the sense of being behind the camera,

1:33:31

because you know, obviously our job was to stand

1:33:33

there and we basically observed and I got to

1:33:35

see camera, lighting, sound,

1:33:38

every how the sausage was made. And obviously,

1:33:41

Zach, watching you was amazing.

1:33:43

Um, and I learned so much from you as you

1:33:45

were learning from other people. And it was just this environment

1:33:48

where you know, it was everything was so open, you

1:33:50

know. I think I strapped the steady cam on a few times

1:33:52

and the you know, everyone just let

1:33:54

you learn and let you do what you needed

1:33:56

to do. And it's really like helped me in

1:33:58

this sort of like one man band type

1:34:01

filmmaking. I do. Now, awesome,

1:34:03

last question and then I'll let this go. I'm sorry,

1:34:05

Zach. Have you, guys

1:34:07

worked with other people from the show since

1:34:09

the show? I

1:34:12

worked with with Jane Um

1:34:15

Jane right, you know writer. I

1:34:17

worked with her on a sitcom for about

1:34:20

uh four or five years right

1:34:23

after Scrubs. And that's

1:34:25

about it, though. That's only person I've really seen. Um.
