221: My Drama Queen

0:00 Where are you?

0:01 I'm in my son's room. He's out of town with his sister for a month or two. Maybe a month, I think. And somebody's here to handle pest control because of the air conditioning system and all of that stuff is being fixed and everything.

0:24 And.

0:26 Let's just say I'm in my son's room right now.

0:30 I have never seen you outside of your closet since COVID began, and I'm flustered.

0:36 It's a little overwhelming for me right now. It doesn't feel as cozy as the closet does.

0:41 You know what I mean?

0:42 When I look at myself in the Zoom chat and see all of this anime stuff in the background, I feel. A little youthful, I guess.

0:54 More importantly, it's picture day, and I don't feel like you put on a cute outfit. I mean, Joelle and I clearly did. I put on this shirt.

1:03 I put on my best local restaurant t-shirt.

1:06 I fixed my hair. I fixed my hair. Donald, you're wearing a logo we're probably going to have to Photoshop.

1:11 Really? Really?

1:13 If we're going to have to Photoshop logos out, I can change my shirt real fast.

1:15 I can change my shirt real fast. We're not doing pictures until the end, right?

1:19 No, this is fucking picture day. And I was excited for it. And I'm slamming my desk about it because I sent you all an email. I sent you all an email that said, look cute. It's picture day.

1:31 Oh.

1:32 Because the good folks at. Merch, wanna put the four of us on a, what do you call the thing you put on the back of a phone and hold it like that?

1:42 Pop socket.

1:43 On a pop socket. Donald, this is gonna be on a pop socket.

1:47 I don't, I don't, I don't, I'm sorry.

1:53 You're like, you're like, motherfucker, I got a lot more on my plate than a fucking pop socket.

1:57 Okay. I apologize. For everyone who buys the pop socket, if you do not approve of What I'm wearing, I'm going to change my shirt. But if you don't approve of the background and or what I'm wearing.

2:10 It's all right. But don't you love how Joelle is just touching up her makeup right now?

2:13 She looks good too.

2:14 We're not enough time in the day. You guys, COVID, I used to like have a whole plan, you know, and we had to do makeup and get out of the house. But I don't have a routine anymore and it takes so much longer than a half an hour.

2:26 Wow.

2:26 It's the worst.

2:27 Daniel changed and he looks fly as fuck.

2:29 So handsome. Love the shirt.

2:31 Thank you.

2:32 It's my best Uniqlo button-up.

2:32 You're going to have to change the hat, too, because it has a logo on it, Daniel.

2:36 It's okay.

2:36 They can only see the brim. They can only see the brim.

2:38 Yeah, only the brim, Donald. You're second-guessing. Do you want to run and change your shirt for picture day?

2:43 Well, I got to run and change the whole background for picture day, dude.

2:46 No, they can- No, they'll cut us out of our own back house. And you can put your face close like I'm doing here, like this.

2:53 I have no- I have a light. Actually, I have a light for this occasion. Hold on.

2:56 Yeah, I've got my ring light on, dude. I took picture day seriously. Y'all are fucking phoning it in.

3:00 I'll be right back. I'm sorry. I apologize to you, Zach. I should be purged. I should be punished. I have offended my dear brother, Zachary. Zachary.

3:10 I'm in such a good mood right now. Zachary. I love it.

3:13 Zachary. Listen. Zachary.

3:14 Zachary.

3:15 Forgive me.

3:16 I'm in such a good mood right now. There's a line at the end of a really wonderful film called Going in Style that I may have directed. And Alan Arkin turns to Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and he says, I have this very odd feeling I haven't felt in a very long time, and I think it might be happiness.

3:40 That's funny.

3:41 Alan Arkin said it, or Woody Allen said it?

3:43 Well, Alan Arkin does a very similar neurotic, dewy voice. But I don't know. I was dialing in, and I was feeling something like, Amidst all of the mayhem, amidst all the COVID and tragedy and fires, I was calling you my friends and I was feeling a tingle of happiness.

4:04 Yay.

4:06 And all of you. And all of you who are listening. Because holy S-word, there are a lot of people listening to this podcast. Yes, there are. I mean, a lot. I'm just going to say, I'm not going to talk specific numbers, but we had a little bit of a holy shit moment. There are a lot of you listening, and it's bizarre when you think about talking to that many people. I think if I thought of it like that, I would be nervous. I just think of it like I'm talking to you three.

4:32 Amen.

4:32 Right. That's how I look at it, too. I find it very interesting how now things that we say are actually, you know, people are listening. So if you say, you know. You know, it does feel like it. It does feel like it's just us, the four of us talking. And so now sometimes when I look at my Instagram and I see what, you know, the comments some people have to say about some of the things we're talking about, it's like, wow, okay. So let me just be a little bit more careful and not so cavalier with some of the issues I talk about. No, that's bullshit.

5:05 We want you to be you. The listeners want you to be you.

5:07 Obviously be me obviously but there's certain way to say things so people can receive it better you know what i mean or.

5:14 Of course whether you're talking to one person or you're talking to a million there's ways to say.

5:19 It exactly and so you know uh although i.

5:23 Did shut shoot down one of your trolls i don't know if you saw that.

5:26 No i did see that oh that was so funny that was great.

5:30 I appreciate my little brother coming and freaking standing up to the bully.

5:34 I have a little bit of pet peeve about people that come on to social media and be like, I might have to unfollow or I might have to stop listening.

5:41 Like, bro, sounds good.

5:42 Go away.

5:43 No one cares. I just, it's like if I was having a barbecue and I was serving those little pigs in a blanket and you came over and you said, you know, I'm vegetarian. I might have to leave. I'd be like, Get the fuck out. I don't care. This is my barbecue. This is my barbecue. Those are my fucking pigs in a blanket. Get the fuck out.

6:09 And you know what?

6:10 Give me my frozen margarita back, bitch.

6:11 Right, right, right, right. You take the margarita? You take the margarita? Everything that they, you would take the margarita? Yeah. Guess what? Guess what? Guess what?

6:20 This shit's free. This shit is free. You have to listen to some ads, but this shit's free. You're not paying for anything. Twitter, Instagram, it's all free. Don't come on and say, I didn't like it when Donald said this. I might have to stop listening. Come on, buddy. GTFO.

6:38 That's fine.

6:39 GTFO. See you later. You're supposed to say preach. You're supposed to say preach.

6:47 Well, yeah. I mean, Joelle is in the middle of getting her face.

6:52 By the way, I wish the audience could see this because it's basically a fucking YouTube video of Joelle's getting ready routine. As we're talking, she's doing her final touch. By the way, when the world sees this picture of you, Joelle, because you look very pretty. I have a feeling that the dating section of our show for Joelle is going to blow up.

7:11 Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for a very special moment of the show when we make Joelle's mama happy and find her a lover.

7:25 Dan, we're going to need a little theme moment for find Joelle a lover.

7:29 No problem. I'm going to give everybody out there a hint real fast if you want to find Joelle a lover. Here's a big tip. Get her a PS5 pre-order. That's all you got to do.

7:38 I gave my friend Daniel one, too.

7:40 If you can get both me and Daniel.

7:41 A PS5, I will.

7:42 Guarantee you a virtual date. Why are you guys so up on this PS5? Is it because of the freaking... Does it come with the headset? Does it come with the freaking VR?

7:54 Because Cyberpunk 77 comes out two days after the release of the console. I don't want to buy the console twice or the game twice.

8:02 Right.

8:02 So if I can get the console before the game comes out, no matter what, I have to play day one. Like, it's Cyberpunk. I've been waiting forever for this game. So my brother agrees with you guys. He's like, you'll get one. Like, there's going to be a second round of pre-orders.

8:14 Yeah.

8:14 I want it now.

8:15 I want to be secure and safe in.

8:17 My decision making. Same.

8:19 Same.

8:19 I don't want to be refreshing the same Best Buy page forever. When does it come out?

8:23 When does it really come out?

8:24 November 12th.

8:26 That's a long way away, guys.

8:28 It is, but these pre-orders are going to pile up. They'll start bundling as it gets closer to Christmas and holiday time. And those will be nice, but it'd be also nice to get a retail price digital version of the Sony PS5. By the way, I saw the funniest meme that I only sent to Donald and Daniel because, well, A, I don't have your cell phone number, bizarrely. Oh, we've done that. B, you already told me that it's going to go green.

8:48 So I was like, fuck it anyway. I'm not going to fuck this up. But we really, the second you get your iPhone, we need to be on a group. I don't know why we don't have a phone group chat going.

8:58 I would love that.

8:59 Although it might be detrimental because then we'll be chatting and not saving it all for this. But anyway, I sent Donald and Daniel a funny meme I saw of how they don't have a disc tray in the new PS thing. And Xbox doesn't either, right? Correct. And it was the Simpsons guy. What's his name? Ralphie?

9:20 Yeah, Ralph Wiggum. And it was like.

9:23 GameStop right now. And it was Ralph Wiggum going, I'm in danger.

9:28 Sorry, GameStop.

9:30 It's just, why do I need all these discs? They don't resell well unless you keep them for like 40 years.

9:35 And that's on GameStop too.

9:36 That is the one thing that pisses me off about GameStop. If you take the disc home, And opened the seal. Now when you take it and you don't like, let's say the game is broken or whatever, you don't like the game, you go to return it, they say that's six dollars then they go around then they turn around and sell that shit for damn near the exact price that it cost to buy it originally it's trash.

10:06 So it's gonna be all it's gonna be all download now then right.

10:09 And that is the way it should be that's the way it should have been this is the way that's the way that's the way it should be.

10:13 But it takes a long time in my brief xbox career doesn't it take like no it moves.

10:18 Faster Once you download it, it moves faster.

10:20 No, I'm saying it takes a long time to download a game.

10:23 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:25 It can.

10:25 I didn't know if I was doing something wrong when I first downloaded my games.

10:29 Oh, no, that's the right thing to do. The big issue now is how much bigger the games are getting and how much hard drive space the actual console is going to come with. Because, like, the standard PlayStation has 825 gigs of space, and the newest Call of Duty game is 200 gigabytes. So that's, like, I know that's not standard for every game, but let's say you have four games that are like that. You can only have four games on your PlayStation? That's ridiculous.

10:53 I thought Xboxes were like one terabyte and two terabyte Xboxes.

10:59 Yeah, probably. For sure.

11:00 I'm just talking about the cheapest PlayStation. I'm guessing that in general, people either get the Xbox Series S, the cheaper one, or the cheap PlayStation, which is the digital one for $ 399. What's the difference.

11:11 Between those two and the ones that are coming out?

11:14 They're the same thing. So there's the Xbox Series S and the Xbox Series X. There's more differences between those, but literally the only difference between the two PlayStations is one comes with a disk drive and one doesn't. Okay.

11:27 I'm an Xbox guy. What's the difference between the two?

11:32 Do you have a 4K TV?

11:34 I do own a 4K TV.

11:35 Of course he does.

11:35 So then you're going to want to get an Xbox Series X because the lower grade one does not have 4K support. That's the big difference. The better one with a disk drive that's bigger, that's slightly more expensive, does have 4K support.

11:48 What about 3D and virtual?

11:52 Currently, there's no VR or 3D stuff for the Xbox. There's 4K up to 120 frames per second support if your TV has a high refresh rate. Other than that, you've got to go PS. I'm broke. The Oculus Quest. I've been saying it. I'm just saying this thing is the absolute shit. If you're going to go VR, get the Oculus.

12:14 I am well aware. They even have a new Star Wars game coming out for the Oculus. When you're blasting, when you're freaking two-gunning that shit like John Woo.

12:24 But don't I need a PC for that?

12:25 No, you don't. It's a standalone product. And the Oculus Quest 2 just got announced. You can get your pre-order right now. Well, I know they're not sponsoring me yet.

12:33 Right?

12:34 Come on, Oculus. By the way, I have an Oculus, but I never used it because the one I have needed to be set up with a PC. And I don't know how to do that. And it's one of those things that just I never.

12:45 Got around to.

12:46 I totally get that.

12:47 But if it's a standalone thing, color me intrigued.

12:50 It is standalone. You know what? If you're interested in VR at all, I just got to say it is such an incredible experience that it completely... It is one of those things with every step in terms of how we interact with technology and video games. It was one of those things that just completely blew my mind. It was an instant compliment.

13:05 If the good folks at Oculus want to send all four of us, we'll be glad to talk a whole lot about it.

13:10 Absolutely.

13:12 I'll talk about Oculus all day.

13:14 Yeah.

13:15 And all night, listen, you guys.

13:16 Got- We could do a whole one where we're all in the same virtual world, a whole podcast.

13:23 We literally could.

13:24 Can you do that?

13:24 Yeah, yeah.

13:25 We can meet up. Yeah, they have what's called big screen VR, and we can all have the same room.

13:28 Wait, hold up.

13:28 Let me ask you a question.

13:29 Please.

13:29 If I'm playing a certain game, and it's like, you know how when you play PlayStation or Xbox, you go into these big rooms, and now you guys are all playing missions together.

13:39 Yeah.

13:39 Can you do that with Oculus?

13:40 There are a couple games that offer multiplayer.

13:42 Yes, we got to do that.

13:43 Are you kidding me?

13:44 I'm not kidding you at all.

13:45 We can all meet up in the virtual universe.

13:47 Do they have the Ready Player One suits yet that you can put on and you can feel every touch?

13:51 No, they don't have the hat-off suits yet. They don't yet.

13:54 Well, call me when they have that.

13:55 That's what I want.

13:56 I'm waiting for that.

13:57 I'll let you know.

13:58 Oh, my God, Zach. We could virtual hug.

14:00 We could freaking upstairs, downstairs. Oh, I will virtual whop on you.

14:04 Oh, my God. And I would receive that virtual whop.

14:07 I'll hit, like, there'll be, like, Control-X for whop to whop on Donald. And then I'll just whop all over you.

14:12 Oh, my God. If it was Control-X, you know how you just keep pressing the X button over and over and over and over again? Remember that game Decathlon where you had to press it really fast to make things run? There was a computer game. I would do that to you.

14:24 When I was in college, there was a computer game where it was a sex game. And to have sex, you moved the mouse really fast.

14:31 Was it called Leisure Suit Larry and the Land of Lounge Lizards?

14:34 No, although I did love those games.

14:35 Sierra.

14:36 Did you guys play Sierra games when you were kids?

14:39 Yeah, absolutely, dude.

14:40 Sierra was amazing.

14:41 Oh, my God. Sierra games were amazing. Police Quest.

14:45 Yeah. Space Quest.

14:47 Space Quest.

14:48 And by the way, for hints, they used to have a hotline you have to call because I would be so stuck. And my parents would be like, what the fuck are you doing? What are these charges? But I was addicted to a drug. I'd be like, make sure no one's looking. And then I'd call the hotline. And you would have to go. For those of you who are young, you're probably like, what the fuck is he talking about? This is way before the internet and the computers are what they are. You'd have to go on the hotline and be like, find the scene where you were lost. And it would give you the clue. And it was charging you some astronomical rate to get the hint.

15:20 Like 99 cents a second.

15:21 Whatever it was. And I would be on there and be like, I'm sorry, mom. I'm like, like, like out loud, even though she wasn't in the room, I'm like, I'm gotta do this. I'm lost in police quest. But anyway, this sex game, this is like 90, late nineties. And it was, um, and the fact, and you're having sex and the faster you move the mouse, you're having sex.

15:41 And I had this born again, Christian roommate who wasn't in the room in our, in my dorm room. and he literally is out of a movie. He opened the door, and I'm just jamming this mouse, trying to win, because you win when the computer people have an orgasm. And literally, he opens the door to show his very religious, nice girlfriend the room, and I'm in there just jamming my mouse, just jamming it. And I turn around, just straight out of a movie, and I'm frantically trying to get out of the game, and all you hear is like, ah!

16:14 And I'm like, escape, escape, escape. And literally out of the movie, he's like, we'll come back.

16:20 We'll come back.

16:23 Later.

16:23 Oh, no.

16:23 That was so awkward.

16:25 Do you still talk to that roommate, Zach? No, no.

16:30 I'm shocked.

16:31 He said you must.

16:33 He was a very nice guy, but we just weren't on the same page.

16:37 Sounds like it.

16:38 Because, you know, the whole, he believed that I was going to go to hell. And so it was kind of hard to get along.

16:44 It's hard to start a relationship at that point.

16:46 It's hard to get along, really.

16:48 Anytime another human being actually says to you, you're going to go to hell, it's kind of hard to freaking continue.

16:55 Where do you go from there? I once dated a born-again Christian woman, and she was great. But I said to her, kind of trying to make a joke, I said, I mean, how can this really go anywhere? I mean, you think I'm going to hell. And I said, what can I say? I hope you're wrong. And the most sincere face, she went, I hope I am too.

17:15 Abort mission.

17:16 Get out of there. And I was like, escape, escape.

17:20 We should probably get into the show. We should probably get into the show.

17:27 Count us in, Donald. Count us in.

17:29 Five, six, seven, eight.

17:35 I got to say something.

17:36 This is a fucking amazing episode.

17:39 I laughed a lot.

17:41 Once again.

17:43 I laughed my ass off. I texted Bill.

17:47 I said.

18:02 I said, Bill, we are at 220, what is it, 221, 222? 221, yep. I said, we are at 221, and we are all in the groove. This episode is, I think, the best of season two.

18:16 You think so?

18:16 I'm going to go out and say it.

18:18 I really did enjoy this episode.

18:19 It's got a little bit of everything. It's got heart with Carla's, with Carla. By the way, I was thinking as I was dialing in, I have no idea what percentage of the audience is actually watching the show along with it. Or just listening. And we have no way to measure that. But so anyway, that's irrelevant. It has the Judy's, Carla's mom's death and the wedding that they're about to have in the hospital with Turk. So it's got heart. But then it's got so much funny stuff.

18:51 It's got a whole lot of sexy stuff with Amy Smart. there's just some hilarious stuff. I mean, that has some of the funniest stuff of season two in it. And I just, I don't know. I just, I had one of these moments like, I think this is the best episode of season two.

19:04 Okay. Well, let's get into the recap.

19:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

19:08 I want to call it the recap. But then, you know what? Then Daniel has to make up all of these damn theme songs and stuff like that.

19:14 Oh, I don't mind.

19:15 Whatever. Okay, well, then let's get into the recap.

19:19 Daniel is a DJ. I'm sure that he doesn't mind taking a few minutes and making up a little.

19:25 No problem.

19:26 Here we go. And go.

19:28 Tasty coma wife is back and she is naughty.

19:31 Yes, she is.

19:32 Carlos' mom dies prompting her to want to get married ASAP. Elliot admits she's already bought herself a wedding dress. Plus, Ted the lawyer and Dr. Kelso want everyone to take it easy on how they deliver information to patients. Sometimes because of pressure and or angst, We make decisions without using our better judgment. This usually causes more pain and misery, not just for us, but for others too. If we're lucky, we have people in our lives who care about us enough to tell us like it is. But in the end, you have to have the awareness and the ability to accept, receive, You have to have the ability and the awareness to accept and receive the information, even if it's not what you want to hear. Amen. Well said.

20:17 Amen.

20:17 Well said. Maybe we should just change it to you do it in 47 seconds.

20:21 Okay, that's fine. Well, you're going to cut the part where I mess up, right?

20:25 Oh, yeah. No, I think we should leave it.

20:26 Fuck you. That doesn't make sense.

20:29 We like to show the audience all the seams.

20:31 No.

20:33 No, well said.

20:34 I got to tell you, Donald. It's Donald, right? I got to tell you, what an episode.

20:39 What an episode.

20:40 What an episode. And I mean, as a straight person, I must say that Amy Smart in lingerie mounting me is a piece of art.

20:53 Yeah. You know, when watching this, this is one of those episodes where I was like, this motherfucker.

20:59 Yeah.

21:01 I was even like this motherfucker. I'm watching it going, what a job. What a job. What a job. Being paid extraordinarily well to have Amy Smart mount you in lingerie.

21:10 Can't beat that with a baseball bat.

21:13 Although I'm so neurotic that when she was doing that, I was like looking at the scar I have on my chin. You know, I'm tied up. JD is tied up on the bed and she's in a very sexy outfit and she's mounting me. And all I could see was the scar on my chin.

21:31 I think that's most actors when they watch themselves.

21:34 Yeah.

21:36 You know, I did a movie with a very wonderful actress. She actually is one of the few people in the world to have an EGOT. Her name is Whoopi Goldberg. Oh, yeah.

21:48 Thunderous applause for Whoopi. We love Whoopi here at the show.

21:52 I once told her, I was like, you know, I loved, all of the movies you made when I was growing up. Like, a lot of what you did shaped how I am now. You know what I mean? Me wanting to be an actor and everything like that. You made the type of movies I wanted to be in. She said it's funny, because when I look at that stuff, she's like, thank you very much, first of all. But when I look at that stuff, what I see is, oh, I think I looked... I don't like the way I looked in that scene, or, you know, I don't... I was on my period that day or whatever it is. You know what I mean? And you're exactly right. You're in a scene with the lovely Amy Smart. You guys have great chemistry together. The scene works, obviously. And all you can

22:40 think about is, oh, I don't like the scar on my chin.

22:42 Well, I think also I just feel like next to Amy Smart, it was like Beauty and the Beast. I just felt very unattractive.

22:51 I disagree with you wholeheartedly.

22:53 Well, thank you. No, I'm saying it's more of what you're saying what Whoopi said. It's like, you know, I'm not usually obsessed with that stuff. When I watch myself back, whether it's something I'm directing or I'm in someone else's thing, I'm like, okay, it is what it is. But there's times when I get, you know, like any human being going, oh, what's that thing on my fucking chin? Oh, who was doing my hair that day? What the hell happened?

23:14 I'm like, yeah, well, yeah. I understand that. You know. I don't understand the hair part because my hair is usually the same and everything. Anyway, yo, holy shit. Tasty Coma Wife is naughty.

23:24 Yeah, Tasty Coma Wife is naughty.

23:24 She got you tied up. Got you tied up.

23:28 She likes drama and she likes naughty shit. She wants to get into it.

23:32 She wants you to... She's the type of person that's like, spank me harder, Demi.

23:38 I love how down Amy was with all this.

23:40 She was so.

23:41 First of all, she's very funny in this. And there's one moment later where she... She does this move I've never even seen before. She licks both of her fingers.

23:48 Did you see that? Yeah, and then she rubs the air. It's like she grabs the air with her.

23:52 I almost thought in my brain, I thought, maybe she was going to do a lick and then touch her nipples. And then she went, oh, no, it's primetime TV. Let me just grab the air.

24:03 Maybe.

24:06 I don't know what she was up to, but it was delicious. It was delicious. And it was very funny. And I don't know. I'm here to say, if you're Amy's agent, however much she's working, she should be working more because she is funny and talented. And she did a great job. I wish, J.D., there were more episodes.

24:26 But I think this is the last one. I keep saying that.

24:28 I'm not sure. I didn't realize she'd done this.

24:30 This is the last one. This next episode is all about Ryan Reynolds.

24:34 I didn't realize she had done so many episodes, dude. I didn't know that.

24:39 She's great.

24:40 She's amazing. She's great.

24:41 How about 58 seconds in, I get an Elliot's there, and I've got rope burns on my wrist.

24:47 Yes.

24:47 And Elliot's looking like, what the hell is that? And I go, it's my new watch band. It's made out of cat.

25:00 It's so quick on your toes. I know, so quick.

25:03 And then, oh my God, how about us all laughing at Wang? Vera Wang.

25:07 Did you laugh? Well, when they said it, did you not laugh?

25:10 Yeah, because Wang is a funny word.

25:11 I'm sorry. It's funny.

25:12 It is. I'm sorry. Wang is a funny euphemism for penis.

25:15 Yes, it is.

25:16 But I just love... I love that we're like these doctors and we're laughing at the word wang. Like... And I love the laugh.

25:22 It's like... Like somebody can't hear that. You know what I mean?

25:30 I feel like.

25:30 I don't know about you other 45 and 46-year-olds listening, but I will still laugh at the word wang. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I'm too immature.

25:39 Yeah. There's nothing wrong with laughing at wang.

25:43 Wang's funny.

25:43 Wang's funny, dude. Wang's funny. It's just....

25:50 Todd's first Air 5. I don't know how many Air 5s there are in the whole series, but Todd delivers his very first Air 5 here.

25:57 Do you know this because of Scrubs Wiki?

25:59 No, I didn't. I just know that I hadn't seen one before.

26:01 Oh, okay. Maybe this is a question. Can we ask Scrubs Wiki, or is this a problem?

26:08 No, I mean, we haven't used him in a while, and we did buy a lot of attention from him with the Funko Pops.

26:13 So let's ask him right now.

26:14 So Trevor. How are you? I hope you're enjoying the Funko Pops. I hope they haven't been sold on eBay. I think this is the very first time that Todd ever air fives anyone. Is that true?

26:27 Trevor, I have one last question.

26:28 Go ahead.

26:28 I had to be that guy.

26:30 Go ahead.

26:30 But is there a number, a count on how many times Todd air fives? Is that something that you guys, that can be found on Scrubs Wiki?

26:39 Hi, Zach and Donald. The Funko Pops and I are doing well here in Colorado. Todd has had many unrequited fives, but this is the first air five. Over the series, Todd names 51 different fives, and yes, all of them are named on Scrubs Wiki. This is the only standard air five, but he gives a skeptical air five in season six and a fairy five in My Princess.

27:00 Thank you, Trevor. Thank you, Trevor. It feels like you're giving him a large assignment, but maybe Trevor will go for it. We did give him signed Funko Pops. He has the only JD signed Funko Pop in existence.

27:12 It's priceless.

27:13 Priceless. At least a G, G and a half.

27:18 You get a G and a half for that shit, dude.

27:19 So not priceless. Priceful? There's a price.

27:25 But you make the price, is.

27:27 What I'm trying to say. All right, this janitor, this shorts thing, I've said before, is the funniest thing to me. And I've said this before, so sorry, I'm repeating myself. But if you look at the season two blooper reel on YouTube, I could not get through this moment. I just thought Neil... Everything related to Neil and shorts, I just thought was so funny. And I didn't know, I'd forgotten that JD put the shorts on multiple times. All I remembered was the end moment where I'm like, look, I'm a doctor. I can't wear shorts to work. And he says the beloved line, the good Lord didn't bless my wife with all her fingers. She only has pointer and thumb pinky. And then he does a little gesture.

28:14 that's the part where I was just cracking up laughing but um but yeah JD wears those scrub short shorts multiple times and um and they're dirty because they.

28:23 And they get dirty right because he throws them in the trash.

28:26 He throws them in the dumpster and then he finds the janitor finds him and he goes mentirosa liar why is the janitor all of a sudden speaking Spanish in a dumpster we don't know um The other thing I had forgotten, which is so fucking funny, at 10 minutes, and he goes, I thought we were shorts buddies. You know the schedule. Monday, Tuesday, shorts. Wednesday, we wash them. Thursday, Friday, shorts. Weekends, optional.

28:51 I'll be wearing shorts.

28:57 I love it.

28:59 I laughed at a couple of, I laughed, well, okay, so I laughed at the whole janitor story, but I also laughed at the Ted-Doug storyline.

29:07 Yes.

29:07 Which had me rolling.

29:08 Yep.

29:09 Somehow Ted and Doug have now bonded over a week. They have a weekend bike ride that they go on every weekend. This episode. Where they ride bikes and vent to each other about how much they hate Dr. Jules.

29:24 Yeah. By the way, we hear about a few activities outside of the hospital in this episode. There's also a nurse.

29:30 Roberts above ground.

29:33 By the way, and Ted specifies her above ground pool party.

29:38 Yeah.

29:39 We're and but. But that's where Dr. Cox, that's the last time Dr. Cox got violent.

29:43 Yeah, he says, I wrote it down because it's so funny. Cox says, I might just rip off that tie off your neck and jam it down your esophagus. And Ted goes, I think you proved at Nurse Roberts above ground pool party that that doesn't solve anything. Oh my God. This episode had me rolling. I had so many laugh out loud moments. Sam, fucking Sam Lloyd is hilarious.

30:06 He's hilarious in this episode. And then finally at the end when he's like, when we're all there, everybody's listing their problems and he goes, I'm sterile.

30:13 Yeah.

30:13 And they look at him and he's like, I think it's because of the bike ride.

30:17 No, but before he goes, my, my, uh, what does he say? My, my swimmers, my, my little guy circles.

30:25 Yeah.

30:25 Scrubs. Wiki said, uh, One of the things it said is this is the first episode where the lawyer admits that he's sterile.

30:35 Fred, rerun Barry. Hold up. Wait, wait.

30:36 Don't get to Fred yet.

30:38 Okay.

30:38 We got to talk about the goosebumps I had when Judy Reyes just drops. Her mom died.

30:45 Yeah.

30:46 And we always say this, but we'll say it again. Judy Reyes is such a good actress and she brings the heart and the Bill always used to say, she grounds the show. You and I can get so silly, and some of the ancillary characters can get so silly, but then there's always Carla who's grounding it. And this show proves that, this episode, because there we are being as silly as ever. I mean, literally, we're about to talk about Fred Rerunberry doing dances, and there's Carla, and she just goes, my mom died. And everyone just drops into reality. And I was just very moved. probably because there's been a lot of death in my life and friendship circling around people who need love. But the looks on all of our faces when we just kind of

31:31 like looked at her and dropped in with her and gave her love. And I don't know, I just found that was very, I got goosebumps and I thought it was just very, it just showed how quickly the show can go from Fred Berry dancing to having goosebumps and tears in your eyes. You know what I mean?

31:46 Oh, absolutely.

31:47 Absolutely. I was very impressed with Turk also in this episode and how he was selfless about everything. I kept waiting for him to make a joke every time he was comforting her.

31:57 Yeah.

31:58 You know what I mean? And he never does. He was always very supportive of Carla and her loss. And that was very impressive, especially on a show where we're always. Telling jokes. We took this part of the show very seriously.

32:18 Yeah, and Turk is like the dream fiancé boyfriend in that he's, I don't know, he's just saying all the right, you know, Turk who can often put his foot in his mouth is saying all the things anyone who just lost their mom would want to be said. He says that beautiful thing about let me be there to fill up some of the bowl that she, I forgot the wording of it, but that was beautifully written and well delivered.

32:42 Your acting is really good in this episode.

32:43 Oh, you are such a sweetheart. Go on.

32:45 But Judy Ray is, just sorry, because she has more emotion to do than you, just a few times.

32:51 Amazing.

32:51 Fucking Judy. Judy, Judy, Judy.

32:54 Crushed.

32:55 All right, Fred Barry, for those of you who don't know, was the star of a show called What's Happening.

33:00 Hey, Raj!

33:02 Hey, Raj!

33:03 Hey, hey, hey!

33:05 And Me and Donald's Childhood was a seminal sitcom about a family living... Where did they live?

33:13 Oh, shit.

33:14 Oh, wow.

33:14 Joelle, we're going to put you to work.

33:15 I want to say it was Philadelphia.

33:18 I don't remember what city it was, but they didn't have much money, and they were friends, and it was about their lives... And as a white kid growing up in the suburbs, it, like good times, opened my eyes to a world I didn't have any connection to or know anything about in a hysterical way. And I loved what's happening, dude. It was one of my favorite shows.

33:40 I used to laugh so hard.

33:41 St.

33:41 Louis. St. Louis, thank you. I used to laugh so hard. There are so many parts of the show that I remember still to this day. When they go to the Doobie Brothers concert and they bootleg it, With one of those tape decks that you use to record notes with. You know what I'm saying? We're sitting in the concert with one of those things to try. That one, freaking Dwayne singing, comma, comma, comma, comma, comma, comma. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

34:16 Freaking rerun doing the dance at the talent show and winning it. And then after that, always dancing. Wait, we have a correction. Roger's laugh. We have a correction.

34:24 There's a correction from Joelle. Never mind. They lived in Watts, Los Angeles.

34:28 Oh, shit. Let's correct that.

34:32 Yeah. They lived in Watts. That's a big difference. I remember a really funny episode where... Was it Rerun who got a credit card? And he didn't really understand the ramifications. And as I recall, Rerun just got a... Someone got to him with a credit card and he just started buying tons of shit. And they all came over. And Rerun, who had no money, these guys all... had no money and the house was full of stuff Rerun had bought with his credit card. And I just remember, even though God knows how many years ago it was, I remember there was a scuba tank.

35:07 In the room.

35:08 So amongst the things he had gone crazy with his credit card, he bought a scuba tank.

35:12 But that's not all he bought. Remember, he bought the juicer also. And he juiced bologna. And at the end, he had juiced bologna in a bag or something like that.

35:22 We should do a special episode of Fake Doctors, Real Friends where we do a rewatch of a What's Happening episode.

35:28 Oh, man, that'd be great. Or Sanford and Son. Or Sanford and Son.

35:32 Yeah, but I didn't watch Sanford in the Sun. That was a little bit earlier in terms of the time. I didn't watch that as much. But what's happening was the sweet spot for me. I watched every episode. Remember when Raj was a nude male model for people that were like sketching in a class?

35:48 Oh, in the art class.

35:49 Yeah.

35:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

35:51 And there was Shirley.

35:52 Shirley. Yeah. Shirley. And Dee, the sister.

35:54 Dee.

35:55 Ooh, Raj.

35:56 I'm telling you.

35:56 Mama.

35:56 I'm going to tell Mama.

35:58 Right. And Mama was amazing. I forgot the actress's name who played her. She was incredible. Will you find that out for me, please? What a cast. So if you've never heard of it, I don't know. Go on YouTube. Watch a clip. Maybe it won't translate now because it's old. But I loved it. Anyway.

36:14 So did I.

36:15 So Fred Berry had these hilarious dances he would do. And what you see in this episode is this. So J.D. 's fantasy, they tease that it's going to be a threesome because J.D. says, oh, my God, he's looking at Amy Smart and Sarah Chalk together. He goes, I can't imagine. Seeing these two together, you can only imagine what I'm thinking.

36:38 And you think it's going to be something sexual. And it's Amy Smart and Sarah Chalk with Fred Berry in his outfit, in matching outfits, doing his famous rerun dance. So that was really funny. And then we cut later to what I imagine your bachelor party is going to be. And it's all of us dancing. And a lot of our crew guys are in there, including Michael Spiller, who directed this episode, is in there. I saw my stand in, Scott Rabideau. Was Deontay in there?

37:04 Deontay was definitely in there.

37:06 Yeah, I think Franklin Godbetter, our AD.

37:08 Godbetter, one of our ADs. Yeah. A lot of the people that worked in the film department or in the lab with editing and stuff like that, they were down there.

37:19 So it was a good opportunity for a lot of people to be– I guess it was all men because it was supposed to be the bachelor party. So we all got to do the rerun dance with Fred Berry, which was really cool.

37:28 And we all got to wear the costume too, which was great also.

37:31 Oh, man.

37:31 With the fedora and everything.

37:33 But, I mean, if you had told little Zach that he was going to A– be doing the rerun dance with rerun one day. The same week that Amy Smart and lingerie would mount him. Tears, tears to.

37:48 His young eyes. Dreams do come true.

37:55 All right, we've got to go to break. We've got to go to break. Thank you all for being here. We love you.

37:59 Yeah, we're so excited that we get to do this for you guys, man. And your appreciation of this show is well received. We appreciate you 100%. Yes. So on that note, please listen to some people selling you stuff.

38:11 We'll be right back.

38:12 Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.

38:17 And we're back!

38:25 Hey, guys. I'm sorry, guys.

38:26 Hold on. Pause for a second.

38:27 Sorry.

38:27 Some shit's fucking up on my computer.

38:28 Hold on.

38:29 One second.

38:29 Hold on.

38:29 Oh, Jesus. We're going to see your phone.

38:32 Interrupting the Interruptive. Playing music for the Interruptive. All right.

38:36 Here we go.

38:37 I hope you do a little music for Interrupting Bill. I'm interrupting the Interrupting Bill.

38:40 Five, six, seven, eight.

38:41 No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Turn that shit off.

38:46 So I just wanted to get that over with quick. I wanted to interrupt the Interrupting Bill with five, six, seven, eight. I mean, it's not a well thought out one, but. Now we're back to the other.

38:56 Interrupting Bill.

38:59 He may have his own theme song.

39:00 Welcome back, guys.

39:02 I want to start.

39:03 By saying that this podcast isn't for you. When I first came up with the idea of this podcast and having you guys occasionally host it, it wasn't so Zach could go.

39:19 To London or Donald could golf with his kids. It was so week after week.

39:25 You can provide people with content with my podcast for them to listen to. So I'm glad you're back. But let's not let a week go by like that again. Today's question is about recurring jokes. And just so you know, I know you're going to talk a lot about the thumb pinky scene with Neil Flynn. And I would hope that you guys would mention innuendo because it's one.

39:52 Of the classic Todd lines.

39:53 But I will ask you right now, if you can figure out what the writing staff's favorite recurring joke was that started.

40:04 In this episode.

40:06 And to give you one clue, it is something in the writer's room that we imagined what that event would be like for quite some time.

40:17 I will give you another clue if you can't get it.

40:21 What the event would be.

40:25 What is he talking about, Tom? I don't know, dude.

40:30 A joke that started in here was originally in the writer's room and became... This is the first time we see it is in 221.

40:36 A joke that they laughed a lot about in the writer's room of what it would be like.

40:41 To go to. Where did we go?

40:44 Well, there's the.

40:46 The wedding. The wedding at the hospital. Right.

40:51 Any of you listening know? Are you thinking at home what the answer is? There's probably a lot of you screaming at your listening device right now, and you know the answer. I don't know. Let's hear another clue, Daniel. This is a little cryptic.

41:03 I'm going to play a little more.

41:05 Okay.

41:06 Your other clue, if you need it. If you don't, you can skip this, Daniel and Joelle.

41:11 Hey, guys.

41:12 Thank you for continuing to come through on my podcast on a.

41:16 Day-to-day, week-to-week basis.

41:17 Hi, Bill.

41:19 The other clue is it's about Nurse Roberts and her home life.

41:23 Oh.

41:24 It has to be. We might have talked about the opening round pool party.

41:26 No, it's something she says. I didn't even write it down, but she says something about her husband and how he's not allowed to use the oven.

41:38 Is his name Lester?

41:39 I think her husband's name is Lester. She said she's on the phone. This is what she gets in trouble for because she barks at a patient who wants a pillow. And she said something about Lester. You know I don't want you using the oven when I'm not home. Let's see what it is.

41:53 Let's see what it is.

41:55 All right.

41:55 Our favorite recurring joke in the writer's room was about Nurse Roberts' above-ground pool party and how any time it was ever mentioned, it was obviously an all-time off-the-hook party.

42:09 I love that the giant shindig was at her.

42:11 House, and I love– that it was not a pool party, but it was an above ground pool party.

42:17 Cause there's Roberts pool is above ground. I miss you guys.

42:21 I love you.

42:22 Uh, welcome back.

42:24 We love you too, Bill.

42:26 Oh, that's funny.

42:26 I gotta say, I didn't realize that nurse Roberts above ground pool party was always like off the hook.

42:33 I said it though. I said nurse ground nurse Roberts above the ground pool party. You said no, no, no, no, no.

42:39 You were right. I was looking for a deeper cut, but, but yeah, you're right. Um, Nurse Roberts above ground pool party does come up multiple times throughout the series. And whenever it does, it's always like, shit went down. Like, it was crazy.

42:51 Well, he chokes the shit out of Ted at the party.

42:54 Yeah.

42:55 And it didn't help. It did whatever they were arguing about. And him choking Ted, it didn't help. So, yeah, that sounds awesome.

43:02 I don't think JD and Turk were ever invited to said party.

43:06 I don't think they were. I don't think they were. Say it again?

43:10 What's the matter? Tell her to come say hi. Okay, come say hi. Tell her to come say hi.

43:15 We have the exterminator here.

43:19 Hi.

43:19 Hi, Casey.

43:20 Hi.

43:21 Put the headphones on her, Donald, so we can.

43:23 Talk to her.

43:23 I can hear you.

43:24 You're so loud.

43:26 How are you doing?

43:27 I'm good. I'm good.

43:28 How are you?

43:28 Are you bringing the exterminator into this room?

43:31 Yes.

43:32 Oh, that's going to be exciting. This is Juan. Hi, Juan. Have Juan come say hi. Hi, Juan. Hi, everyone. Hi. Hey, I think Juan might exterminate my house, too.

43:43 No, Juan comes to your house, too.

43:44 Oh, hi, Juan.

43:45 Tell him it's me.

43:47 Hey, Juan.

43:49 How are you, man? That's great. Juan does a great job.

43:54 Yeah, we love Juan.

43:55 Oh, there you go. You got her on the show.

43:59 Yeah, we want you on the show more and more.

44:01 Oh, yeah?

44:01 I started spinning. I got my Pelotons. I know, but you won't let me know your name so I can follow you.

44:07 I know.

44:07 Casey wanted to know my username, and I was like, first of all, I suck so bad. Let me get going a little bit before I start handing out my username and let you know how bad I am.

44:18 Yeah, work yourself up because I'm very competitive.

44:21 Have you done this? I found a gal I like. She's a British gal, of course, and her name's Leanne, I think. And she does a pop one because I like to work out to pop music. Hell yeah. And she was good. She was good.

44:35 What's the guy's name?

44:37 Oh, Cody.

44:38 Cody.

44:38 If you get a chance, do Cody. That is the business, man.

44:43 He might be too hard for me.

44:44 He is one of the funniest people I have ever listened to and rode a bike.

44:48 I'm going to write that down.

44:50 I have to literally, when Donald does the bike, I have to come upstairs and check to make sure he's actually riding because he's laughing hysterically the entire time he's on the bike.

44:59 Donald, do you phone that shit in or do you really go for it?

45:02 I really go for it. Casey goes, like, extremely hard, though.

45:05 Well, look at her. Look at her. I mean, Casey, you're a walking ad for fucking Peloton. Look at her arms.

45:10 Yeah.

45:10 Boom.

45:11 Got the guns.

45:12 I'm very competitive with the board. Like, I try to, like, pass people.

45:16 Hey, Peloton.

45:18 I love that. She tries to get into the hundreds.

45:20 Like, you know what I mean?

45:21 That's dope.

45:22 I want to tell the people at Peloton, if any of you are listening, that Casey Cobb should literally be your spokesperson because she has never looked so damn good ever.

45:31 Aw, thanks, Zach. You know, that's... Peloton.

45:34 They're looking for fake.

45:36 Doctor real friends advertising.

45:39 Well, we're giving it to them for free right now.

45:42 We are giving it away for free, but we have the perfect person for you to pay.

45:46 Tasty Cobb.

45:47 Thank you, guys.

45:48 All right. We got to get back to it.

45:50 Take care, Casey.

45:51 I'll see y'all later.

45:51 Bye.

45:53 See, everybody. She's about to take the headphones with her. See, everybody, we share everything, Dal and I, even exterminators.

45:59 Love it.

46:00 We do.

46:02 Yeah, so I tried Leanne and she's bubbly and British and she even has, I haven't done it yet, but she has a musical theater ride. I was like, you had me at Hello. You had me at Hello.

46:16 Oh my God. Oh, what?

46:17 Donald, you gotta do it. There was like a Disney song in there. Oh my gosh.

46:20 I bet you the Disney song is let it go. You know, that's the number one freaking.

46:24 No, I think it's an Aladdin. I think it's an Aladdin one or something.

46:27 Gotta keep one jump ahead of the bread line. One skip ahead of the hop.

46:32 But you know how you can.

46:33 I think I'll take a stroll around the block.

46:36 Donald, Donald, you know how you can put on filters so you can put on, just put on, you can choose what music you want. Anyway, you can choose the teacher and how long you want to go, what level you're at and the type of music. And I put all that in and Leanne singing show tunes came up and I was like, okay, but I haven't done it yet.

46:56 Get me on that one.

46:57 What's the best musical to work out to? Like if you had to pick a musical.

47:00 Oh, it would have to be, listen, when I was, and this is gonna, this is gonna, when I was, I was doing this play in San Diego, Picasso at the Le Pen Agile written by Steve Martin. I listened to La La Land, like it was going out of style, dude. Like it was going out of style. Everything was, when I was working out, City of Stars, are you shining just for me? But do-do-do-do-do, City of Stars.

47:32 Donald went through a period where he would get drunk on a plane and then start tweeting how pissed he was about the end of La La Land.

47:43 She's ungrateful she's ungrateful that.

47:46 Dude did everything I would just be I'd be looking at my Twitter and I'd be like oh shit he's drunk on the airplane again and I bet his tears in his eyes because he's watched the end of La La Land and he's like it just pissed me off yeah it pissed me off go ahead do your tirade for.

48:00 The people do your tirade for the people for the people for the people who love La La Land and is also pissed off at the end we have a new segment called things that upset Donald about the end of La La Land They broke up, right? Granted, it was his fault. He was supposed to be at the show. He didn't make it. He was all about himself.

48:19 Yes.

48:20 But he redeems himself by freaking taking the call from the casting director, driving all the way to Colorado.

48:29 Right.

48:30 Yeah.

48:31 What happened?

48:32 Wait.

48:33 Wait, is Boulder? Boulder City?

48:35 No.

48:35 Boulder's in Colorado.

48:36 You're correct.

48:37 Is it? No, because it was something else.

48:38 Is it Denver or Boulder that he goes to?

48:40 No, it's Colorado.

48:41 They're both in Colorado.

48:42 Irrelevant. He takes a long drive.

48:44 He takes a long drive. And the reason why he knows it is because it's the house across from the library in this small town that she lives in. So he finds her, delivers the message. Yo, look, you got an audition for a big casting director. This is huge.

49:02 We know the movie.

49:03 You're going. And she's like, I'm not going. He's like, well, I'm going back tomorrow. You can ride with me. He takes her to said audition. She auditions for the show.

49:13 And that's the best song in the whole movie.

49:15 Go ahead.

49:16 I disagree.

49:17 It's not the best song in the whole movie.

49:18 I disagree. It's a one-er.

49:19 And she cries. Go ahead.

49:21 Anyway, she slays the audition.

49:26 Emma Stone. Love her.

49:27 Gets the part. At the end of it, she says to him, what's going to happen between us? And he's like, well, you know, we're just going to have to see what happens. Because when you get this part, and she's like, if I get this part, And he's so supportive. He's like, no, when you get this part, you're going to have to give it everything you got. Because the part takes her all the way to Paris, where she's going to have to live for a year. They're going to film. She's going to live there first, where they develop it. And then they're going to film it there. The part's totally catered to her. So at the end of it, she's going to look like the biggest movie star. She goes to Paris. It cuts to five years later.

50:05 Go ahead.

50:08 She hasn't seen this dude since he told her, since they said, I love you at the freaking observatory, the Griffith Park Observatory, where they last spoke.

50:22 I'm already getting sad. I'm literally getting sad.

50:25 She accidentally walks into... His jazz club, which she thought he would never do because he was such a wild card, and he even changed the name to the name that she wanted him to change it to, walks in, sits in the front fucking row.

50:49 Yeah.

50:51 Surprise! Look who's here! And not only am I here, not only, right, it's a big movie star that you used to date, that you were in love with, that I told you I loved you, that you could, you know what? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I'm at right now. But here I am, accidentally, with my husband, who I have now had a kid with, and I've forgotten all about you. And he takes her on this little journey.

51:19 Now, you're mad that part of your drunk airplane La La Land tirades used to be, why didn't she fly him over or fly? Why didn't she make an effort to have him in her life now that she became rich?

51:34 As soon as that movie was done, she should have been like, hey, look, it's over with. What are you doing with your life? And he should have been like, oh, he gave her the space. Look, someone once told me, if you love someone, it's meant to be. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it's meant to be, right? Yeah. He set her free.

51:58 But sadly... What I thought was so beautifully tragic about it is that I thought it was real life. You can go that deep with someone and then life takes you all the way over there and all of a sudden you're on a different trajectory. And that's what's so heartbreaking about it because when they come together in that jazz club, Damien Chazelle brilliantly takes you on a little daydream of what life could have been. That's the most heartbreaking part of the movie for me.

52:26 That's why it's so heartbreaking because at the end of it, you see you could have had all of the stuff that you have now and you would have been happy like you are now and it would have been with the guy that supported you To get to where you are right now.

52:42 But that relationship, Donald, might have been more confrontational and mercurial. And maybe she's not in something maybe as passionate and sexy. But she's happy. She has peace. She's content. She's got a nice husband and a baby. And she's got this huge career. And I think it's a debate about like...

53:02 Are you going to go with the person that drives you fucking crazy and makes you want to pull your hair out, but also you have such passion? Or are you going to choose the life of like, I want to be more Zen. I want to be in a common place.

53:13 Well, he turned out. And that's the other thing, though. He turned out to be that guy, though, also. He didn't turn out to be the dude that was a wild card. He turned out to be the safe bet. You know what I mean? He got the club done. He was very responsible about it all. He hired a bunch of people.

53:29 He changed his whole life around for her.

53:31 For her. To impress her. Well, not necessarily. I don't know if it was to impress her. But she showed him an idea of what he could be. And he said, yo, you know what? I like that idea. And this is somebody who everybody was trying to be like, yo, look, dude. You're doing this all wrong. The way you should do it is this way. And he wasn't open in receiving anybody else's idea of how they thought he should be.

53:55 But he was open to hers. And he does it. And she comes back and sees it. You know, when she walked out of that place, she had to be all confused.

54:05 Of course. Well, she does that. She does that.

54:07 And he had to be all confused too, man. I know this is a Scrubs rewatch podcast.

54:11 No, I'm sorry. But this can go on for the whole- Listen, I would like to change the show to every week we analyze La La Land.

54:20 No, wait.

54:21 Listen, we're almost done. I just want to say this last part. She gives that look back in the club that clearly says, oh, fuck. what might my.

54:31 Life have been.

54:32 I don't know if that's the look back she gives.

54:34 Oh, well, that's what's up for interpretation. In fact, my father, my late, great, amazing father, who loved the movie very much, thought it was kind of like what might be, like still could happen.

54:49 Oh.

54:49 That's what Casey's father says, too. Casey's father's like, she looks back at him like, you know, There's still some magic here.

54:58 I'm probably going to see you soon or one day. For me, what's even more heartbreaking and beautiful about it is it's the period at the end of a sentence. It's look back like what a time we had and now I'm gone. And that just fucking breaks my heart.

55:14 And he's not reluctant about it. He's the one that has already let go, obviously. Like he goes to work every day and her face is plastered on the wall of his jazz club, dude. Every day he walks by her face as he's walking into his club.

55:30 There's a great song called Some Other Time. It's an old standard. And the lyric is something like, oh, well, we'll catch up. Some other time.

55:40 Well, there's another one called I'll See You Next Lifetime by Erykah Badu. And it's like, I guess I'll see you next lifetime. Oh, I am such a sucker for that.

55:49 No hard feelings.

55:50 I am such a sucker for that. I really, really, really love that movie. And I don't have any patience for anyone that doesn't.

56:00 You know, I really do love that movie too. I've had a lot of people try to convince me otherwise not to love the movie.

56:05 Well, it does feel like, I feel like whenever a film is super successful, of course it's going to become polarizing because that's just what happens. But I, for me, I was so moved by it and I just thought the whole thing was so beautiful that I, for the first time since I was maybe a teenager, I was like wanting them as human beings to be together. Like, you know, all these teenagers, they stand the couples that are in movies together and all that. I felt that I remember feeling legit sad that Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were not together in real life because I so was invested in them as a couple.

56:42 That's like the notebook.

56:44 Yeah.

56:46 They really dated after. That was after you saw the notebook. You were like, those two got to be together in real life, man. There's no way those two.

56:53 Ain't really dating. I remember feeling melancholic that they were not ever going to be together in real life.

57:01 So silly.

57:03 But that's great art. That's great art. It gets you all riled up. Go ahead, Daniel.

57:06 All I was going to add is that I think the value of them not being together is that it promotes the conversation that we're having right now. It allows everybody to have kind of different feelings and thoughts about how it goes. Because no one is going to... Let's say they get together at the end. No one is going to watch that movie and say, I think they should have broke up. I think she should have stuck by and broke up. The fact that they do, it promotes this kind of what could have happened conversation. And it's less easy that way. It shouldn't be just Prince Charming gets the princess at the very end. And I think when you have a story that defies that convention...

57:37 you promote a lot more conversation like we're having right now.

57:39 It's also a wonderful narrative about timing. Like this idea that like, had he been this guy the whole time, they would have had that wonderful ending, but they both had to grow as people. And I think they both grew better apart than they were, than they ever grew together. You're just always at each other's necks. And as beautiful as the gesture of coming out to Colorado was, was it enough to make up for the like three, three and a half years there together where it's just chaos and madness?

58:03 Mental torment.

58:04 Oh my God, no.

58:06 Well, it wasn't mental torment. They seemed to be having a good time until he went on the road and started.

58:16 Becoming a successful musician. It's very hard to date a touring musician.

58:21 Anyway, my point to the whole thing is I love that movie. It kind of reminds me of Casablanca and the fact that at the end they go separate and for years to come people will be arguing why They should have stayed together or why it was right for them to be separated.

58:38 It's a beautiful device because he's able to– Chazelle is able to have his cake and eat it too. Because if you make a movie like that, the audience is going to be furious if they don't get together at the end. But then it's less artful because it's like, oh, it's just commercial. So he's able to have his cake and eat it too. He doesn't have them end up together, but shows you the beauty of what it would have been like if the timing was right, like Joelle. I mean, I'm sure everybody listening can think of someone in their life that passed through that you think, oh my God, what might have been if that timing was different? and and i think that's why it tapped into so many people's heart cages this.

59:15 All comes from this all comes from uh How did this conversation begin?

59:23 I was talking about how you went through a period where you got on the plane and drunk tweeted about La La Land.

59:29 But it was because we were talking about the... the Peloton, and how there's the musical theater and what's the thing that would get you the most time.

59:35 Oh, yeah, there you go.

59:36 Which I also have a different answer for.

59:38 What's that?

59:38 Go ahead. Let's go to that.

59:40 Wicked, Defying Gravity, and Popular. You get those going, and I will pump for hours.

59:46 Great one.

59:48 Did you say Popular, too? Did you say Popular also?

59:50 Absolutely.

59:51 Well, Popular is just one of the songs in Wicked, but it's just like that and Defying Gravity.

59:55 I know what both of them are.

59:58 I didn't know that Daniel was a musical theater head like us.

1:00:01 You know, I had my days.

1:00:03 You're gonna be popular.

1:00:04 You guys know Not Thoroughly Modern Millie?

1:00:07 Yes.

1:00:08 Which has the most upbeat, high-kick energy songs.

1:00:12 I saw that once with Lee Sutton Foster. I have to say something, though. There's a video that you have to watch if you're listening. Go look on YouTube. Kristen Chenoweth playing the Hollywood Bowl, which, if you don't know, is an enormous outdoor venue in Los Angeles. And it's probably the coolest place to do a concert.

1:00:29 100%.

1:00:30 And she, I don't know if it's a plant and even if it is a plant, I don't care because it's so amazing. She sings the song from Wicked. Because I knew you, I haven't changed. And she says, I can't sing this alone. I don't have a Dina here. Can I bring someone up? And she brings up a woman who's a high school music teacher. Have you guys seen this video?

1:00:55 Yes.

1:00:55 Great video.

1:00:56 She's a high school music teacher. And even if it's a plant, who cares? She's still a high school music teacher. And she comes up and she sings... And with Kristen Chenoweth at the Hollywood Bowl in the most beautiful, holy shit, goosebump way.

1:01:11 My heart.

1:01:12 You have to see it. It's so moving and beautiful.

1:01:15 We'll get up right after this.

1:01:16 All right, should we go to break and then come back with a guest?

1:01:18 Yes, they're here and ready to go.

1:01:20 We still have so much more to come back to.

1:01:22 We have. We have a lot to talk about. This became a La La Land podcast, but that's not sometimes shit happens. We love you.

1:01:27 We'll be right back. Sometimes it's every day is sun.

1:01:31 We'll be right back. All right, and we're back.

1:01:40 I think about that day. We're back, we're back, we're back. I left him at a Greyhound station west of Santa Fe. Bring the guest in, guys. We were 17, but he was sweet and it was true.

1:01:50 Nat is on his way.

1:01:52 That guest better like La La Land or they're in trouble.

1:01:54 I'll tell you what, if he doesn't like La La Land, he loves scrubs.

1:01:57 Yeah.

1:01:57 There he is, Matt!

1:02:00 Matt! Hey, Matt.

1:02:03 There he is.

1:02:05 Hi, Matt.

1:02:06 What's up, everybody?

1:02:08 Welcome to the program, Matt.

1:02:09 Welcome.

1:02:11 Matt, how do you say your last name?

1:02:12 West Fallon?

1:02:12 West Fallon.

1:02:15 Welcome to the program.

1:02:16 Give it up to Matt Westphalen.

1:02:19 Matt Westphalen getting his standard Oprah introduction from the Donald.

1:02:25 He is in the house.

1:02:31 Matt, I'm going to say from looking at the background of your camera that you like a lot of the same things Donald does. There looks to be some action figure type action happening back there.

1:02:40 Ooh. Oh, yeah.

1:02:43 My house is, a friend of ours called it the Pop Culture Palace.

1:02:49 My bedroom is all like.

1:02:50 Ready Player One, some How to Train Your Dragon and stuff.

1:02:55 My living room is all Kevin Smith, all B.U.S.Q. stuff, a bunch of posters.

1:03:01 We got another room that's all John Hughes, Richard Linklater.

1:03:06 Don't you forget about me.

1:03:10 Hey, I didn't think you were going to throw Gilmore Girls in at the end. That seems like a turn, Matt.

1:03:17 It is.

1:03:19 My wife, Kendra, she got into it late just a couple of years ago and fell in love.

1:03:24 And then she's hooked everybody else.

1:03:27 And now our kitchen is Luke's Diner and Wow. Now she's doing art for a monthly fan box, Gilmore Girls stuff.

1:03:36 Wow.

1:03:37 I got to check out this Gilmore Girls. I've never seen a single episode.

1:03:41 Neither have I. Apparently they talk.

1:03:43 Really, really fast. I know the shtick is that they talk incredibly fast and very wittily like no one else, no one really could in real life. But that's a convention that they use, right? Oh, yeah. But apparently it's great.

1:03:56 It's fantastic.

1:03:57 It was one of those things where like, She was watching it and getting into it. And the next thing you know, I'm sitting down and I start asking questions.

1:04:06 And then she's like, you go to your room and you watch it. So I don't have to answer all these questions.

1:04:12 Matt, do you watch Cobra Kai?

1:04:15 It's fucking awesome. It's so good.

1:04:18 You watch Cobra Kai?

1:04:20 Hells yeah.

1:04:21 Yeah!

1:04:23 I actually wrote that down as one of the things to bring up was Cobra Kai.

1:04:27 I love that show. I love that show.

1:04:29 That's all Donald wants to talk about.

1:04:31 By the way, I love the new Mandalorian season.

1:04:33 I love how wide your tastes span, Donald, I have to say. Because, of course, we all know the eye of the storm for you. But you do span from Cobra Kai to La La Land and everything in between.

1:04:45 Yeah, dude, I'm eclectic.

1:04:48 Except you don't really watch Breaking Bad. But let's not bring that up because it's a sore subject.

1:04:53 Matt, you didn't watch Remember the Titans?

1:04:55 I know, but Matt, I have. I have seen it. Don't bring up past wounds, Matt, please.

1:05:01 That's the only movie that I've been in that he's seen. I don't even think he's seen Clueless before, to be honest.

1:05:07 No, I have seen Clueless. I have seen Clueless.

1:05:10 Clueless is fantastic because the lip bite is one of my favorite things.

1:05:14 Oh, you're a sucker for a lip bite.

1:05:16 Man after my heart.

1:05:17 I am team lip bite.

1:05:18 Yeah, I put in requests. I put in requests for lip bites all the time at my house.

1:05:22 I do the same thing.

1:05:26 Matt, do you have a question for either one of us?

1:05:29 I do. I actually have a question, and you all are welcome to answer. It would be your top five favorite 80s movies.

1:05:39 Top five, wow. In the interest of time, why don't we say top three? Okay, Donald, go ahead.

1:05:47 Okay. My top five 80s movies. What year... Did Boys in the Hood come out? That's 1990?

1:05:55 Ooh.

1:05:55 Yeah.

1:05:56 I think that's- 92, I think.

1:05:59 Yeah.

1:06:00 91.

1:06:00 Okay. Well, then it's definitely Do the Right Thing. 89's the number! Another summer!

1:06:06 Ugh!

1:06:07 Can't get no double! Okay, so Do the Right Thing. Weird Science. Preach. Adventures in Babysitting.

1:06:21 Oh!

1:06:23 The Empire Strikes Back.

1:06:25 I was waiting.

1:06:30 And then Raiders of the Lost Ark.

1:06:32 Okay. All right, Joelle, you want to go?

1:06:36 Oh, I'm going to pick up Raiders and Empire because Avi. I'm going to.

1:06:41 Oh, I fucked up. E.T.

1:06:43 E.T.

1:06:43 Also.

1:06:44 I got to take one of those off. E.T. is up there too. Sorry. No problem.

1:06:47 No problem. Okay. Does Terminator make the cutoff? I think it does.

1:06:52 Yeah, it does. Hell yeah, that's 80s.

1:06:54 I'll say Aliens, even though it's not my favorite version of Alien, the franchise. It is a solid movie. And I will end with, oh, I think Witch Meryl Streep is my favorite. Is it Silkwood?

1:07:11 Just don't say freaking Bridges over Madison County.

1:07:15 That's later. That's 90s, I think.

1:07:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:07:18 I think Silkwood makes the cutoff. I'm not sure if that's 70s or 80s, but I love that movie.

1:07:21 All right.

1:07:21 Daniel, you don't have to do five. You can do three.

1:07:24 You took six. Man, there's so many good ones in the 80s.

1:07:27 There were a lot of really good movies. I'm going to steal a couple. 16 Candles, E.T., Karate Kid. Those are definitely my three.

1:07:37 Daniel, you don't watch Cobra Kai?

1:07:41 I'm getting there.

1:07:42 I have a lot of VR flesh. Listen, when he said 80s movies... I know this is sort of silly, but I kind of went to like the John Hughes, my brain went to the John Hughes world. I wasn't thinking of like Star Wars, Raiders. So my first three things that came to my mind, well, two were that oeuvre, which is real genius and weird science. And then the last was Beverly Hills Cop, which has got to be.

1:08:07 80s, right? Yeah, but there's so many other ones that are worthy of this list. Let me just name a couple that didn't make it.

1:08:15 Don't obey the fucking rules.

1:08:17 Romancing the Stone. Romancing the Stone didn't make it. Tootsie. Tootsie, dude. Come on, man.

1:08:24 Don't you yell Tootsie at me. Matt, what are yours, please? Let's limit it to five, Matt.

1:08:33 My number one.

1:08:34 which is also my number one favorite movie of all time is Big Trouble in Little China.

1:08:40 By the way, Matt, did you notice in Donald's last Instagram post that I was dressed as Kurt Russell in that movie on Halloween? I don't know if you noticed that or not.

1:08:54 Yeah, I did.

1:08:55 I got a huge kick out of that. I freaking loved it. That was, it was, fantastic.

1:09:01 Donald and i went to a halloween party at kate hudson's house and i had no idea what i was going to be in but i knew kurt russell was going to be there so i thought i'm just going to go big or go i'm.

1:09:14 Did you talk in like the John Wayne impression?

1:09:18 No, no, I didn't do that. I just had a pretty darn good outfit on.

1:09:24 Matt, do you know why he didn't do that? Because he had never seen the movie. No, that's bullshit.

1:09:28 Of course I'd seen the movie.

1:09:29 You've seen Big Trouble in Little China?

1:09:30 Of course I have. Why do you fucking insult me?

1:09:32 Because I don't think you see a movie like that, dude. Movies like that don't seem to float your boat. There was no music in that movie. There was no dancing in that movie. It wasn't West Side Story.

1:09:44 You dishonor me.

1:09:46 This is true.

1:09:49 Daniel, see what he did there? He took your word.

1:09:51 I did.

1:09:52 I took his what you're talking about, Willis.

1:09:54 He took your what you're talking about, Willis.

1:09:56 I took your what you're talking about, Willis, and I repurposed it.

1:09:58 I like it. Not bad. All right, go ahead.

1:10:06 Go ahead, Matt.

1:10:07 Sorry.

1:10:07 Wait, hold up. Before we go forward, what was your favorite part about Little Big Trouble in China?

1:10:11 No, we don't have time for that, dude.

1:10:12 We're so over.

1:10:13 It doesn't matter. It's not going to make the show.

1:10:15 All right, Matt, continue.

1:10:17 Let's see.

1:10:19 Number two, The Princess Bride.

1:10:22 Oh, man.

1:10:23 That's 90s. That's got to be 90s. No, that's 80s. What?

1:10:28 Dude, look at Matt's house. I think he knows what movies came out.

1:10:30 He's definitely not messing about.

1:10:33 Oh, that's a good one.

1:10:35 Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

1:10:37 Oh, that would be in mind.

1:10:38 Of course, another classic.

1:10:40 Empire, of course.

1:10:42 And then my five is tied between Bill and Ted and Transformers, the movie.

1:10:50 Oh, the animated movie.

1:10:52 Oh, my gosh.

1:10:52 I love that movie.

1:10:53 You got the touch. I know that movie by heart.

1:10:57 You got the power.

1:10:59 Ooh, there you go, Matt.

1:11:03 Yes, Matt. Sing. I know that movie by heart, like literally by heart. Hot Rod, there's a hole in the shuttle.

1:11:11 What? Decepticons. Die, Autobots.

1:11:18 I had the Optimus Prime Transformer action figure thing when I was a kid. And I had the... Decepticons. What's the bad guy's name?

1:11:29 Megatron.

1:11:30 Megatron turned into a gun. Yeah, dude.

1:11:33 That's right.

1:11:34 Wouldn't probably be that way in 2020.

1:11:35 No, it would not.

1:11:36 Oh, shit. He got the.

1:11:38 Autobots on his arm.

1:11:39 He got the insignia. He has a giant Autobots tattoo.

1:11:42 Autobots face their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.

1:11:51 What a song. um all right good one matt um what else you got another question for.

1:11:56 Us um well since we talked about gilmore girls earlier i noticed there was a lot of references to it on scrubs i was wondering if somebody on the writing staff was a fan and maybe that's why those got dropped in on occasion i think.

1:12:08 This is a bill lawrence question because i don't believe bill really did like gilmore.

1:12:12 No i don't think it was bill but it is a good time to bring back the ask bill segment we haven't used in a while He's.

1:12:18 Going to be mad about it, but I think this is a good question.

1:12:21 Listen, let's be blunt. You think he's going to be mad? The guy doesn't mind attention. Bill, Bill, what's the deal with Gilmore Girls? Why did it come up so much? Was there someone in particular in the writer's room who was a fan? Why so much Gilmore Girls talk?

1:12:41 The answer is no, but with explanation. There was no one.

1:12:44 That especially loved the Gilmore Girls in our writer's room, though we all thought it.

1:12:48 Was a good show. We did think, as a writing staff, that J.D.

1:12:51 And Turk loved the Gilmore Girls because they spoke so fast and they spoke so true. But what we will tell you is that we decided early on in the writer's room that Turk and J.D.

1:13:04 Loved TV.

1:13:05 Turk could sing the theme to Sanford and Sons and do his own words. They both fantasized about doing the rerun dance. They said, hey, hey, hey, what's happening, Raj?

1:13:17 J.D.

1:13:17 's original fantasy guy was Jimmy Walker from Good Times. They knew every line to Fletch.

1:13:27 J.D.

1:13:28 Even had a fantasy with Cheers is the Theme Song about writing about how sitcoms make you feel better. So they were two guys that loved television. um and made a thousand television references but i bet you i could pick a couple that there we did even more often than um uh gilmore girls we only did gilmore girls like five or six i'm not gonna do it we only did gilmore girls a couple times but man they love tv.

1:13:58 Thank you bill for that thoughtful answer and for not trying to do another five six seven eight oh he's gonna try All right, Matt, now it's time for everybody's favorite segment. People are talking about this from Los Angeles to Timbuktu. It's time to.

1:14:18 Fix Your Life! Yeah, buddy.

1:14:23 All right, go ahead, buddy. How can we fix your life? We're ready.

1:14:26 So you guys have kind of already started on that. I have been since.

1:14:31 Then you're welcome. You're welcome.

1:14:33 The quickest one.

1:14:35 Yes, exactly.

1:14:37 Since right before COVID started, I wasn't going anywhere on top of being safe, but my wife and youngest son are both type 1 diabetics who.

1:14:46 Are very high risk.

1:14:48 So we were super safe and cautious about everything. And I started, you know, I'm stuck at home. I'm working from home. And so I started, you know, I'm finally going to try to lose some weight and get in shape, get that blood pressure down. So I started going on, on runs and your guys' podcast has been in my ears almost every time I run.

1:15:10 So I'm down more than 30 pounds so far.

1:15:13 Well done.

1:15:18 Oh, I want.

1:15:20 To add war games to my list. Speaking of turning the key.

1:15:22 Okay.

1:15:22 Sorry, guys.

1:15:24 I'm feeling much better, but I've gone now, um, over 80 days now working out and intermittent fasting and but this is the longest i've ever gone since my wife was pregnant with my oldest son who's 17 since i gained sympathy weight when she was you know eating with our first child and i still hadn't gotten rid of it and i always fall off and end up like find an excuse not to work out one day and that turns into several days the next thing you know i'm sitting on my ass eating cheetos you know so any tips you guys have to Stay motivated in a situation like that to not give up, to keep pushing through.

1:16:03 Yes.

1:16:04 Go ahead, Zach.

1:16:05 It all comes down to the whiteboard that we preach about a lot on the show. What I do, and I do this every week. Well, you could do it two ways, multiple ways. It's kind of reverting back to when you were a kid and your parents would give you a sticker for doing something positive.

1:16:20 Right.

1:16:21 It's about having a streak. So what I do is I create a box of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And it's just simple. It's just boxes on a whiteboard. But when I go to the gym and I do my workout, I go and I give myself a smiley face, right? Now, I do not want a fucking blank in that. I want to keep my streak going. It's like the kids on Snapchat. They're keeping their streaks going. I do not want a break in that. And when I do, when something happens and I don't do it, I feel shitty.

1:16:48 And I go and I put a big red X. Now, you can do this. Another way I've done this is just print out a printable calendar and buy some cheap stickers off of– I've done this, by the way, when I wanted to take alcohol breaks, too, because sometimes I feel like, you know what? I'm drinking too much. I should be. And I'll do it with I'll just get a printable calendar and I'll literally put on stickers every day.

1:17:09 I don't drink or in this case, every day that I work out. And I know it's silly, but it taps back into what we the way we felt as kids. And you're like, I don't want to. Are you kidding me? I'm not going to fuck up my sticker today. I want to get my sticker. I want to get my smiley face. And that really has helped me. Another thing a very expensive shrink told me that I'll pass on to you for free is that he said not to let one little dip or one little failure day set you on a trajectory of going, oh, fuck it. All is lost. Like that's that's bad. Like you're going to if you have a day where you miss something came up or maybe you just said, fuck it, whatever. Don't let that then crumble the whole thing. Don't let that

1:17:47 spin you all out. Acknowledge it happened and then get back on the horse.

1:17:53 That's great.

1:17:54 I like that a lot.

1:17:55 Donald, do you have anything to add?

1:17:56 That's done well for me so far.

1:17:58 Yeah.

1:17:59 Not missing a day and then being like, you know what? That was just one. I'll get back at it.

1:18:04 Yeah.

1:18:05 You know, I struggle with this myself, Matt. And so what Zach just said, I took to heart. You know what I mean? I know how you feel as someone who struggles with weight loss and gaining weight. My issues are once I taste it, I got to taste it again. You know what I mean? It's like, I I'm addicted to, I'm addicted to it. So yeah, man, I, as far as doing that, I don't have any tips other than what Zach just said. I want, I'm going to try them myself. You know what I mean?

1:18:35 I don't think I want to add is that Donald constantly puts himself in a tricky situation from my perspective by having it in the house. If I have a pint of Ben and Jerry's in my freezer, it's going to get fucking eaten. It's just not, it's like, a coke head having coke on his desk. It's not going to work. So I don't have it in my house. Now, if I'm in a phase where I'm like, this is, by the way, I'm not saying I don't indulge. This is in a phase where I'm like, like trying to get in shape like you're kicking ass losing weight when I'm in a phase of like okay come on buddy let's fucking get back at it I won't have Ben and Jerry's in my house I won't have those things that you can't you know for Donald it's like fried

1:19:12 chicken like I wouldn't have fried chicken in my house that'd be crazy because I'd eat it so you gotta you gotta put yourself in a position where the only thing to eat is baby carrots and GT's kombucha and things that are healthy and not fatty you know what I.

1:19:28 Mean That's the problem though, man. So I said, you know what? I'm going to take all of those things out of the house. And I took them all out of the house and then I learned how to make them. You know what I mean?

1:19:38 Then don't have the ingredients to make them in your house.

1:19:41 But everything can be made from natural ingredients though, dude. I can make freaking a cake. from flour and sugar, motherfucker. And everybody needs that.

1:19:51 I know, but they take more time, dude. It's like, it's like, but if you're sitting down to make a cake, then you're not really trying.

1:19:57 Come on.

1:19:57 It's like, but if there's a juicy ass cake in your fridge.

1:19:59 You know what you're doing.

1:20:01 It's easier to just grab, like in my house, we got lots of sugary stuff because my wife and son are diabetic. We have to have stuff so they can get their blood sugar up. So that's always around and it's so much easier just to be like, yeah, I'll just, you know, just grab one real quick. But when you have to really think.

1:20:17 Matt, you're going to think I'm joking, but what if they put that in a cheap safe that you didn't know the combo to?

1:20:25 Well, I mean.

1:20:27 I would say that could work. However, I'm the one who has everybody's passwords for everything.

1:20:32 I'm sure your wife and kid.

1:20:35 That would be a hilarious scene. Just Matt in the room with the safe, just trying to break that shit open.

1:20:40 I know. They actually have a padlock top for Ben and Jerry's pints. I mean, it's kind of like a joke because obviously you can just fucking rip that thing open. But they sell a padlocked top for Ben and Jerry's.

1:20:59 I know what I would use to break it. I've got this right here.

1:21:04 Matt just brought a... I have to tell what's going on. Matt just raised a giant Thor hammer into frame.

1:21:11 With the OKC Thunder.

1:21:12 I work part-time for the Oklahoma City Thunder. That's right. I'm part of their hype squad.

1:21:17 Oh, right on. That's dope. When you look at the Houston Rockets, when the Houston Rockets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers the way that they did, how did that make you feel? Let's be honest.

1:21:31 Matt?

1:21:32 It hurt.

1:21:33 It hurt because... It.

1:21:34 Hurt when the Houston Rockets lost?

1:21:37 Well, no, no. It hurt.

1:21:39 It felt good that they lost, and it felt good to see that the inferior beard.

1:21:46 went down as opposed to mine.

1:21:49 But it's it was weird because like so this i've been doing it since 2012 and uh i this was going to be my last year and then because of covid like i couldn't risk it didn't know what what was going to be doing but when they said we're going to be doing just online i was like i can do that i can do that from home so i was able to keep extending this season and then.

1:22:11 Is there a way, Matt, is there a way we could see or our listeners could see you in action? Is there a YouTube event or anything?

1:22:19 Well, now you can't. That's why I'm saying it hurt because they lost and now he can't do the freaking thing.

1:22:24 Oh, but I'm just saying, is there a video of him being a hype man somewhere?

1:22:28 I have videos and I can tweet you guys. But for years, I'm like the fat Thor.

1:22:38 That's funny. But now you're going to be skinny Thor.

1:22:41 That's the plan.

1:22:42 And the Thunder is actually how I became friends with the Rob, the Todd, Rob Macchio.

1:22:48 He's a big NBA fan.

1:22:50 Nice.

1:22:50 And I'm actually rocking one of his old 5'5 shirt feet.

1:22:54 Mental bodies. We love Rob. We got to have Rob on the show. Joel, we got to maybe, the beginning of, we're about to go into season three. We got to do Rob beginning of season three.

1:23:08 Copy that.

1:23:09 Yeah, absolutely.

1:23:10 I told him I was going to be on today and he told me, he's like, you got this, you'll crush it.

1:23:15 Well, you did crush it. You did crush it. Not only are you a great guest, Matt, but also I think you're an inspiration to a lot of people. I mean, so many people battle weight and it doesn't matter what weight you're starting at. There's so many people listening and I know Donald and I battle wanting to stay healthy and And I think you're a real inspiration because even during COVID, you said, fuck it, I'm going to get it done. And you did it. And I think I'm really proud of you.

1:23:43 That being said, you're welcome.

1:23:45 You're welcome.

1:23:46 You're welcome.

1:23:47 We just fixed your life.

1:23:49 Thank you.

1:23:51 All right, Dan, give him a thunderous applause. And Matt, thank you so much for coming on the show.

1:23:56 Are you guys cool if I give a quick shout out real quick?

1:23:59 Yeah, go ahead.

1:24:01 Okay.

1:24:01 Um, I've my, my younger brother, Justin is an ER doctor in Denver.

1:24:06 Uh, so he's out there, um, fighting the COVID.

1:24:11 Um, we keep in touch very often and we have like a group text between him and my other brothers, like keeping each other motivated.

1:24:17 Now we're all trying to lose weight. My brother is jacked. He's like this.

1:24:21 So he's already done, but the rest of us have tried to get on his level.

1:24:25 So I wanted to give him a shout.

1:24:28 Out, um, for, you know, I mean, being a doctor and being out there and all this craziness and everything to help people and helping me get in shape and the rest of my family. And I also, I have a podcast called do it, Doug. It's a Kevin Smith fan podcast. So, you know, I'm not trying to, I'm just, Sorry, I'm getting a little excited. I got all this stuff written down.

1:24:53 Matt, we try and limit the guests to two plugs. You got a shout out and a plug.

1:24:58 This one is for Donald, a friend and rest friend of the game. He works at compbook.com.

1:25:03 He is giving Josie and the Pussycats the Shea Serrano treatment and doing.

1:25:08 A book on Josie and the Pussycats.

1:25:09 Oh, nice.

1:25:10 That's awesome.

1:25:11 I told him that I would drop that, but hopefully he'll try to reach out.

1:25:15 And get some interviews with you or something. But he is working on that as we speak.

1:25:20 Matt you are cut off you are cut off from shout outs but you're an awesome guest and stay healthy and let's keep in touch.

1:25:30 Sounds good can we take a picture real quick let me get fly for.

1:25:33 You hold up let me get fly this.

1:25:36 Is a practice because we're doing our group photo today.

1:25:38 Perfect thank you guys so much.

1:25:40 Bye Matt thank you Dan thank.

1:25:42 You all easy what a great guy good work Joelle.

1:25:50 So I have a question.

1:25:52 Yeah.

1:25:54 When JD accidentally breaks the glass table, realizing that his relationship with tasty coma wife is probably at an end. He accidentally, it's not on purpose that he breaks the glass table, but it breaks.

1:26:06 It riles her up.

1:26:07 And it riles her up. Have you ever been in a relationship like that where you're like, look, I know this isn't going to go anywhere. but I'm not ready to let go yet.

1:26:18 Of course. Of course. Of course.

1:26:20 Of course. Of course.

1:26:21 How many times can I say of course?

1:26:23 But my question is, what does that do with her then though, man? If all she's missing is that drama and you provide the drama, my whole problem with it was she had this whole time to have the drama with her husband being in a coma and everything like that.

1:26:40 But she's addicted to it. She needs there to be tension. She needs there to be danger. She needs there to be an adrenaline rush in order to be turned on. And in this case, we're kind of joking because it's meant to, like, it turns her on sexually. But I think there's plenty of people, male and female, who thrive on there always being conflict or on there always being drama.

1:27:07 Yeah.

1:27:08 I can't stand those type of people, man.

1:27:09 Oh, it's horrible.

1:27:10 I can't be around that type of person, man.

1:27:12 It's horrible.

1:27:14 Like, I always wonder, how did these motherfuckers get into this loud-ass argument right here? Like, you know what I mean? Like, why do you think that all of us in this area want to be a part of what you guys are fighting about?

1:27:29 You know what I mean? You're saying it... Like it's never happened to you. You've never been in a relationship where the person was like causing so much conflict and you're just like, really? Why does there need to be all this?

1:27:38 I've gotten out of those types of relationships. That's the relationship that you get out of right away. If you go out with someone.

1:27:47 Well, you sometimes, you sometimes endure it because they look.

1:27:50 I see this shit on world star. I've been seeing this shit on all these things where the dude takes the young lady out or the young lady takes the dude out, whatever it is. And one of them loses their shit so much that violence or yelling or water being thrown or glass breaking or something like that happens.

1:28:11 And the other person still leaves with the person. Get the fuck out of here. I don't want to be with you. Yeah, you got to be out of your mind. If I'm at a restaurant. And you get loud at the restaurant and start yelling at me at the restaurant so everybody can hear. And you do a show in front of all these people and then expect me to take you home or get in the car with you.

1:28:37 You're out of your motherfucking mind. You gotta be. crazy. You're crazy. You're, you're, I don't, I don't even want to say it's crazy. Cause, cause that's not even the right word. You're, you're, you're, there's no way that's happening. There's no, in the words of George Bush Jr. There's no way that's happening. You can't fool me twice.

1:28:56 There it is.

1:28:57 Uh, I thought it was funny when, so JD's trying to like get all these dramatic moments going because it turns Tasty Coma Wife on. And the one that made me laugh the most, he goes, he throws his salad because I don't want salad. That's why.

1:29:11 That's funny.

1:29:15 And then he's like trying to get in fights at the bar. He tries to get in fights with the little guy. And then it turns out that it's the big guy. And he's like, no, no, it was him.

1:29:25 No, no, it was the little guy. Yeah. Oh, man.

1:29:30 But it worked. That's when she does her double finger almost nipple lick.

1:29:36 Or nipple rub. Whichever one.

1:29:38 Yeah. Don't you see? If you go back and watch it, that's what she was about to do. She's like this. And then she's like, that's not appropriate.

1:29:43 I'll do that.

1:29:48 I love that they kept that in. That was funny. Innuendo. We have to talk about it because Bill requested it.

1:29:54 Bill requested it.

1:29:55 Great double entendre. Classic Innuendo.

1:29:59 In your end, though.

1:30:00 They replaced Don't You Forget About Me from Simple Minds in the one I saw. Was yours replaced?

1:30:07 Wait, hold up. They replaced Don't Forget About Me?

1:30:10 The song is by the band Simple Minds and from Breakfast Club when he puts his.

1:30:14 Fist in the air.

1:30:16 Hey, hey, hey, hey.

1:30:17 Boom, boom, boom, boom.

1:30:22 Boom, boom.

1:30:24 That's the one. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Don't you forget about me.

1:30:36 I've heard her say.

1:30:39 Anyway, in my iTunes one, it had been changed.

1:30:43 Oh, I didn't know the difference, actually.

1:30:46 You didn't notice the song was gone? You watch on Hulu, right?

1:30:49 Yeah.

1:30:50 Oh, maybe on Hulu it's still there. I don't know.

1:30:52 It might not be, but I didn't know what the song was originally.

1:30:56 No, no, it was Don't You Forget About Me, and now I had some other song that wasn't that.

1:31:01 Oh, okay.

1:31:02 Oh, how about I convince Elliot that Slut is a.

1:31:07 Hey, Slut!

1:31:07 And she says it to Eloma, and Eloma goes, what now?

1:31:10 What now? But the fact that that's what... I also like that that's one of the things that you use to get Tasty Coma Wife to sleep with you. You turn Elliot into one of her reasons for being jealous, one of her reasons for having trauma. You know what I mean?

1:31:31 And Elliot plays along. She slaps me in the cafeteria to play along. By the way, Elliot feels no jealousy at all. I mean, for someone who's going to, who are going to eventually end up together, it's just, it was just interesting that the character is totally fine. She's just not affected by J.D. being in this relationship with this beautiful woman at all.

1:31:52 Well, yeah, you know, they don't show her being jealous. I imagine that. I like to think that Elliot was jealous this whole time.

1:32:00 Well, she plays it really well for someone who's, you know.

1:32:04 Like, did Ross know that Rachel was jealous when he got with Emily? You know what I mean? Like, shit like that. Like, is it easy to see those type of things? We're going on a ride. For the most part, you're telling the story. JD's telling the story of Scrubs. And so we're pretty much seeing what his mind sees.

1:32:23 You know what I mean?

1:32:24 Oh, so you're saying, but you're not saying, like, the story itself is skewed to J.D. 's perspective.

1:32:33 For the most part, I think for the most part it is.

1:32:35 No, I mean, the storytelling is, but you're not saying like, I mean, you're not saying like, oh, we're seeing Elliot be unaffected because the story's from J.D. 's perspective and she's unaffected.

1:32:46 Well, I think that's a better way. No, I don't think that. I don't think that at all.

1:32:50 I don't either.

1:32:51 I do believe, personally, that Elliot is affected by all of this and it'll come out later on in the future when she talks about it. She'll make the effort to talk about it. You know what I mean?

1:33:03 What's going on up there, Joelle? You're playing with the mug?

1:33:05 The gifts I got for my friends came.

1:33:07 Oh, nice.

1:33:08 They're cocoa mugs from Disney.

1:33:10 Oh, nice.

1:33:11 Pixar. And when you pour a hot liquid in it, it changes colors.

1:33:14 Oh, my God. That's what we want.

1:33:16 That's what we want.

1:33:17 I know.

1:33:18 It's super cute. We're going to figure it out.

1:33:20 Because I want this for you guys, too.

1:33:21 Joelle, we want that. I want it to be me and Donald. And then when you put hot beverage in, it turns to you guys.

1:33:27 I think we have to do one on each side and then it'll go from black and white to color. I think that's how we have to do it. That's how this cup works.

1:33:34 I just felt like when we were talking to the merch guys, they were like, oh, those are going to be expensive and no one's going to want to buy them because by the time you manufacture, everyone's going to.

1:33:41 Want to buy them.

1:33:41 Well, we got a lot of merch coming, by the way. Speaking of merch, a lot of funny stuff in the pipeline.

1:33:46 Just in time for Christmas, you're going to get some really cool things. We're not going to give it away.

1:33:50 Okay, we're not going to give it away? Okay. And so if you go on our thing and you're like, because we have t-shirts now and other stuff, and if you're like, oh, this is boring, it's just their faces, don't worry. We just want to open the store. We got some funny shit coming.

1:34:01 We should tell them where to find that, too.

1:34:03 Yes, how do I find it, Sherwell?

1:34:05 That's a good question. Let me pull up from Harper, who helps us with all of this stuff. She sent us an email address.

1:34:13 Harper's a woman?

1:34:14 Yeah.

1:34:15 I always thought Harper was a man.

1:34:17 Because she conducts herself like business.

1:34:19 No no I just I thought Harper was one of those names that could be either or I think.

1:34:24 I think it is I.
