Yo, we should talk about this because a lot of people don't know. Go ahead. But it was Cinco de Mayo yesterday. Yes. You were fasting, so you didn't participate in Cinco de Mayo. No, what did you do? What did you do? So

Casa Vega is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Sherman Oaks area. Right. And, you know, nobody can go to restaurants right now, but they had a little drive-thru going on where you can get, you know, tacos and beans and rice and, you know, whatever was on the menu. And margaritas? And margaritas. How do they give you the margarita in the drive-thru? They put it in a half-gallon pitcher.

That doesn't seem to be – Not even a pitcher. It's like a half-gallon pitcher. That doesn't seem to be... Not even a pitcher. It's like a half-gallon... You know, like, you put milk in it. You know, you get milk, and it's a half-gallon bottle, jar, whatever it is. Yeah. They put it in that. Wow.

And we got three of them. Oh, my God. Did you get hammered? We only have one left. You guys had a party over there. We drank a gallon of margarita yesterday. Oh, my God. Wow.

I'm so jealous. I literally, this fast thing we're on, it's like all you eat is this thin soup. It looks like gruel. Remember that thing that Oliver wanted more of? That's what it looks like. Pizza. Yeah. It looks like, or like what they'd slop on a pirate ship, what they'd serve you for dinner. That's what it looks like yeah it looks like or like what they'd what they'd slop on on a pirate ship

what they'd serve you for dinner that's what it looks like right does it have like a little bit of celery and like a little bit of carrot it looks like cartoonishly watered down soup that's what we're allowed to eat but it's it's white colored no it's the color of whatever flavor they think it is it's like tomato is like tomato colored but it's just got little specks of crap in it wow but just you wait donald we're gonna you're gonna check in when we record on on friday and like tomato is like tomato colored, but it's just got little specks of crap in it. Wow. But just you wait, Donald. You're going to check in when we record on Friday, and you're going to say, wow, you look even thinner.

I want to fast, but I want to fast. Should we sing? Should we sing? Yeah, sure. Why not? I'd like to count in today, because I realize I haven't counted in in a long time. I've been giving it to you. I've been giving it to Bill Lawrence, our guest,

giving it to Judy as a present. And I just feel feeling left out. Well, Zach, I want you to give it to you. I've been giving it to Bill Lawrence, our guest, giving it to Judy as a present. And I just feel feeling left out. Well, Zach, I want you to give it to me. Go ahead. Okay, Dan, hit it. I like a little, you know what? Wait, before you hit it, Dan.

You know, I always thought it was so cool when DJs on the radio do the thing they call talk up. Like they know exactly when the words come in and they stop talking right at the, I believe DJs call it talking up a song. Right. Right. So they, they,

I'm sure they have it labeled somewhere like the lyrics start at five seconds in or something. And I always thought it was so smooth. So I'd like to talk up this song. Go ahead, do it. Okay, here we go.

So I'm not going to count in Dan. I'm just going to talk it up. Okay. I'm nervous now. I'm nervous now. There's a lot of pressure on Okay? Here we go. I'm nervous now. I'm nervous now. There's a lot of pressure on you. Here we go. Welcome, everybody, to Fake Doctors, Real Friends. We're so glad you're joining us, and

here's a song written by Charlie Booth, Donald Faison, and Zach Brown. Coming at you. about a bunch of doctors and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said he's got stories that we all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch

show with Zach and Donald. Hey, lots of talk on the social media about, you know what I mean, and you. Is it that bad? No, it's just people just need to accept it. It's part of your way of speaking. It is part of my way of speaking.

I'm just concerned, though, about those who are doing it as a drinking game, that we're going to turn people into alcoholics. I'm of the, I think we should keep the dings, but if you don't want to keep the dings, we can remove the dings. And also, I heard, by the way, Dan, that you missed some. I saw on Twitter, some people were like, the dings but if you don't want to keep the dings we could we could remove the dings and also i heard by the way dan that you missed some i saw on twitter some people were like the dings were hilarious but you guys missed like four you know what it means dan what was the total i mean of the ones you caught what was the total nine that's not a lot for an hour dude by by the way that's when you were trying not to say it dude but but i was also it was me

not it was me using it as slang though at that point it wasn't me just saying you know what i mean after everything i said somebody brought to my attention that you say you know a lot i'm just gonna put it out there really oh you're trying to shift this shit onto me. Listen. Listen. I do. Listen, we all have, we all, if you record someone for multiple hours, you're going to hear some of the things that they say when they speak. I'm sure we all have our own tics. I'm sure you're listening

right now, judging us. You probably have some vocal go-to's. The ones that kind of get on my nerves are like when people say I mean all the time before they say anything. I mean. It's like, no, I get it. Or like.

I mean, I hear. You say like a lot. We all say like a lot. I know. But the young folks really use like a lot. Yeah. That's the one that gets me. I mean.

I mean. I mean. I mean... I mean... I mean... The wrong use of literally is also a bit of a pet peeve. Really? That's abused. You literally don't like that. I literally get annoyed when people overuse literally.

Should we get into the episode, Donald? Let's do it. I love it. Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm just going to jump right in and say, say holy shit you are so good in this episode i forgot how turk-centric it was uh so did i it is a turk episode and it is a turk episode it's a very turk episode donald i'm not great moments i'm not just saying this because I love you so much, but I do, but holy shit, you are so good in this episode. And I, multiple things, there's the, there's, we could spend a

whole episode of this podcast on that gospel fantasy. We're going to spend plenty of time on it. Don't get me wrong. But also your, your, your dramatic acting at the end, when you're all upset, the scene with you and Judy on the roof, you running to the park. I just thought you did really, really good work in this. Oh, you're a sweetheart. You know, thank you, first of all. Second of all, this was one of my, this isn't necessarily one of my favorite episodes, but there's so many really cool things that happened in this episode that I got to be a part of. One was obviously the gospel choir thing.

That was a lot of fun. One of my favorite movies of all time is Coming to America. Me too. And also a lot of fun. One of my favorite movies of all time is coming to America. Me too. And also which way is up and in which way is up. Richard Pryor plays a Reverend in a church. And in coming to America, Arsenio Hall's portrayal of the Reverend is amazing as well. And so if any,

if I was doing anything in that scene, I was stealing from the two of them. Well, let's just get right to it. Let's get right to it. You are so fucking funny in that. And I watched it like multiple times just because that scene,

I think it's one of the, I honestly, I know we just started this, but I think it's one of the best fantasies in Scrubs history solely because of your performance. And I know that you're doing an homage to your favorite, one of our favorite movies coming to America, but you really made it your own.

I mean, I just was dying laughing. The jerry curl, the swinging of the arms, the padding of the forehead. We gonna, we gonna, what are you gonna do? We're gonna cut them open, and then we're gonna stow them right back together. I remember that day genuinely cracking up, and you were just going for it, man. You were literally sweating your ass off because it was hot, as I recall. And you were just being- But I wasn't sweating my ass off, so you kind of used literally in the way that you hate it.

Okay, you're right. Because I was literally sweating, but my ass didn't fall off. You're right. Okay, there it is. Because I was literally sweating, but my ass didn't fall off. You're right. Okay, there it is. There it is. It is literally not possible in the literal sense for someone's ass to be sweat off. I believe that's true. Joel, please look that up.

I had a lot of fun doing that scene, man. One of the great things was looking out into the audience also and seeing, you know, how background really enjoyed themselves. And then also seeing familiar faces in the background. Colonel Doctor, for the first time, is in this episode. Wait, before we, you're jumping around. Let's just stay focused on you. We can't go to Colonel Doctor. But he's in the background.

I know, but yes. Okay, sorry. But I didn't even want to go to Colonel Doctor yet because it is his first appearance in a Scrubs episode. He shows up in the background of Sarah's scene first. Also, Neil Flynn in the background of this episode, clapping. Yes, that was funny. It was hilarious. And what about me when I get the spirit?

And then you catch in the Holy Ghost. Dude, that freaked me out the first time I ever saw that. I'm going to be honest with you. You mean in real life? In real life. My first time ever seeing someone. Oh, you saw it in real life. I saw. Listen, I went going to be honest with you. You mean in real life? In real life. My first time ever seeing someone. Oh, you saw it in real life. I saw, listen,

I went to church with my babysitter. It was like a midnight mass type thing. And we went to church and we saw, first of all, people around us are catching the spirit, right? Catching the Holy Ghost.

And they're losing it. And I was like, all right, I'm safe. I'm here with my babysitter. I know she's not going to catch the Holy Spirit. Flash cut to, she catches the bad boy. And I was like, all right, I'm safe. I'm here with my babysitter. I know she's not going to catch the Holy Spirit. Flash cut to she catches the bad boy. And I was like, yo! So how did she start acting?

She just out of nowhere, she just started dancing, right? Like you did. Like your character does. Like JD does. She started dancing. And then she started praising God. Which is, you know, as a youth, when you don't see stuff like that. Like, my grandmother was Episcopalian.

So we had to go to Episcopalian church and stuff like that. And it wasn't like that. You know what I mean? Right. Even though it was all black, it wasn't a Baptist church. You know what I mean? And when you go to a Baptist church, you know, they put it in. That's some.

I'd love to do that, by the way. Oh, it's amazing. The choir, everything. I would love to have the experience of going to a church like the one we're representing in this show. I just think it would be amazing. I've never seen that in real life. Obviously, I've seen it on TV and on video of people speaking in tongues.

And no judgments. Whatever works for you, that's amazing. Like you said, as a child, I was always like, oh my God, what is happening? Right. And it was so shocking to see someone reacting like that. To get touched by the spirit of God. I like the idea that JD got the spirit when you were such a good minister that it just came to him.

Right. The music got into him and praise got into him. I don't even know, was that scripted or did I just improv that? I don't recall. Do you remember? I don't know if it was scripted. I think I just improv that? I don't recall, do you remember? I don't know if it was scripted I think you might have improvised it I think I just thought, I said to Bill like

oh my god, I should get the spirit, I think that was funny yeah, amazing amazing, and you know great scene, the choir was great the choir was amazing, although we do have two of them that spike the lens and wave at the camera around 8.16 I don't know if you caught that.

They may have caught the spirit too and decided to wave to the lens. But they were amazing. And by the way, am I mistaken or did you – when you were just riffing, one of the things that was – you were so great when you would be in your element and they would just tell you to go, whether that could be the famous dance you did that everyone always talks about or so many things. But in this moment, when you were just riffing

and being that preacher, I mean, you just got lost in it. And it was so amazing to watch you do that. But I remember that when you went, what's the name of the song we sing in?

Yeah, because I couldn't remember the song. I couldn't remember the song. And they kept it in. I thought that was so funny. Qua! It was supposed to be something like, qua! Let us, let us, you know, let us, remember the song and they kept it in i thought that was so funny it was supposed to be something

like choir let us let us you know uh let us uh uh bless the congregation with the song you know christ the lord right right and i i remember getting down behind choir what's the name of the song we're singing? But you stayed in character. It was so funny. You know, it was such a good lesson early on in Scrubs that if we stayed in character, a lot of that stuff could, if it was funny, would stay in. Right. And that was a perfect example of you doing that

and Bill going in the edit room like, oh, that's funny, that's staying. Yeah, yeah. So this whole episode, it was written by... Deb Fordham. Deb Fordham, that's right, who also wrote the musical episode. Right, was one of the main writers on the musical episode,

and I think actually participated in writing a lot of lyrics for the famous musical episode. That's right. And Jeff Melman was the director, and I just learned a little trivia that he directed some of the sitcom you did, The Exes. Yeah. I did.

Did you not put two and two together? I did not remember that. Do you remember? I do know who Jeff Melman is, but now that you have said that, oh, yeah. He only directed one episode of Scrubs, and it was 20 years ago, so you're okay for not remembering that, but I don't know if you put two and two together

that you also directed your sitcom, The Exes. I think we even talked about him directing an episode of Scrubs when he directed the episode of The Exes. But anyway, yeah. And Kristen Johnston, who you did The Exes with, I bought her house. That's where I live. Yeah, not only

that, but you guys also did Twelfth Night together. We did Twelfth Night together in Central Park at the Delacorte. And you, and that's when she said, Hey, I want to move out of LA.

I'm over it. Do you have any interest? And I was just at the time when I was starting to think about buying my first house. And what's funny is that she was quite an entertainer. She threw a lot of bashes at the house. And so over the years, when I've told people that i bought the house from her they're always like oh i've been so fucked up in that in your house wow speaking

wow well she's now sober and she's written a wonderful book called guts yeah which is out on the market right now and if you guys are listening and want a good read uh in the voice of kristen johnson she also does the audio book. Check it out. It's very, very, very revealing, and she's very open about her addiction. Yeah. And so you get the opportunity. I've read the book, and it's amazing,

and you should get it. And when you're hearing about some of her partying, just know it was happening in my bedroom. Where you live now. Yo, somebody got mad. Oh, man, somebody got mad that I ruined that joke. Or that, not the joke, the bit of trivia. I know.

On one of the last episodes, I said I was going to do a trivia for Donald involving the Breakfast Club, and he ruined it. And some guy wrote on Twitter, I was legit excited for a bit of trivia, and Donald did indeed ruin it. We got to filter in some more trivia to the show. Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, Deb Fordham, Jeff Melman. It's a great episode. I got to say, you know, they're not all this good. This was a darn good one.

And first thing I wrote down was Nurse Tisdale at 35 seconds in. Yes. Which is a homage to the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Now, some of you younger folk might not know that movie. You should watch it because it's a seminal 80s film. And I remember watching it at someone's house far too young to be watching it. Like, I should not have been watching that movie at the age I was. And I remember feeling like, don't move because I don't want any adult to notice that I'm here and I'm watching this

and I probably shouldn't be watching Phoebe Cates reveal her bosoms. Yeah. Do you remember when you saw that movie? I do remember when I saw that movie. And, you know, the one thing that stuck out from that movie for me was Sean Penn. Totally awesome. And his Jeff Spicoli. Yeah.

A little bit of trivia for you. Do you know who wrote that movie? Yes. It was Amy Heckerling. No. Cameron Crowe. Amy Heckerling directed it? Absolutely. Okay. Amy Heckerling, who wrote and directed Clueless? Wrote and directed Clueless, yes.

So it's six degrees of Donald Faison is what you're saying. Six degrees of Donald Faison. Forrest Whitaker's also in that movie. He directed Waiting to Exhale, and I was in it. And I remember going on the audition for Waiting to Exhale. At the same time, I was shooting Clueless, the movie. And I was, you know, Forrest and I had a little conversation about his experience with Amy. And the reason why I got Waiting to Exhale, because I'm sure there were a bunch of people who auditioned for it. But Forrest told me, he was like, you know, I went with you because, you know, you're working with Amy and Amy gave me my start.

And there was a form of nostalgia in it for me. That's really cool. And so I got to be in Wait and Exhale with Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Leela Bershon. I got to, oh man, I got to meet several actors from Michael Beach to one of my favorite all-time performers, Gregory Hines. I've never seen the movie. I've got to be honest with you. You've never seen Waiting to Exhale?

No, but I'm going to write it down because we're looking for quarantine movies, and I do love your work. You should watch Waiting to Exhale. It's a lot of fun. Do you have a good part in it, or do I need to just fast forward to your scenes? No, you should watch the movie. The movie is actually very entertaining. And the soundtrack is amazing, by the way. Holy cow.

Baby face. You put your foot in it when you made that one. I don't know what that means. It just means he put some... He did a good job. He put a little struzy on it. What happened to baby face? He's still doing his thing.

Oh, I just haven't heard about his name in the public lexicon in a long time. Anyway, we digress. Let's get back in. Sorry, we digress. Nurse Tisdale, she's coming down, doing an homage to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. By the way, if you haven't seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High, you should because it perfectly, I think,

encapsulates a period of time in the 80s. And it's a really, really, I mean, it was written by Cameron Crowe. I mean, it's a great movie. 58 seconds, Snoop, you know, showing up. Snoop's in a lot of this episode, Snoop Dogg intern. Snoop Dogg was in a lot of this show. I know, it's funny.

If you guys start looking at the background, you'll see- And not Snoop Dogg, real Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg intern. If you guys look at these episodes closely, you'll see that basically they're just moving around the same 20 background folks. And there's times where it's like, there'll be one scene and Snoop's in the background

and then we're upstairs and Snoop's in the background. I'm like, guys, come on. We just saw Snoop. Yeah, well, he worked a lot. But now we're starting to introduce new characters. So you'll see Colonel Doctor. Yeah, so at 1.51, a momentous moment. Colonel Doctor, first appearance in the background.

As Bill told us on the last episode, named because everyone thought he looked like Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders from the Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials. And is he still alive or did he pass? I believe he passed away. I believe he passed away. Well, he was an older fellow when we were doing this 20 years ago. Right. pass i believe he passed away i believe he passed away he was an older fellow when we're doing this 20 years ago right um by the way someone clarified for me on on the social media interwebs that the beard fasse film i was trying to remember was girl with the dragon tattoo i knew it was a fincher movie it was fincher you're right so i was right about it being fincher it's girl with the dragon

tattoo um daniel craig is on a plane and the camera sort of just dollies past a close-up of Beard Fosse. So thank you for the listener who helped me out with that.

And we're back. Hey, listen. I occasionally, season one, would go out partying with you during the week. Yes. Occasionally, yes. I was feeling myself. I had never had a dollar in my pocket, let alone some fame. A hit television show.

A hit television show. And you and I, I can't, I mean, it's 45 years old. You can't imagine you would ever do this. But in our 20s, we would occasionally go out the nights of filming. Occasionally. I remember we would say things like, all right, look. Just one. We're just going to do one shot. How about just one? I'm sure everybody out there can going to do one shot. How about just one?

I'm sure everybody out there can relate to your friend going, how about just one? Yeah, we're going to do one shot. Hard cut to. At 6 o'clock in the morning, if we're gone by midnight, we could be home by 1, and we'd still have a good five hours of sleep. Right, hard cut to, like, at 6 in the morning, we're in Orlando Jones' swimming pool.

Oh, my God. It wasn't even 6. It was like 445. Right. And it was the night. You had to be at work at six. And I had to, did you have to go in or just me? You didn't have to go in.

No, I had to go in, but I didn't have to be in until like noon. Oh man. This was, this is, this, if you looked at a graph of me being irresponsible at work, this was the high point because I think I was in Orlando Jones's pool hammered at 445. Yeah. And that day I had to shoot this Fonzie fantasy at 341. That starts at 341. So when you see that Fonzie thing, not only am I hungover, I'm still buzzed. Right. Right. I'm still buzzed from partying with Orlando Jones. Dude, to this day, that's still one of the most epic nights.

I know. I mean, we've had some pretty epic nights, but, well, because we were so young and fresh in the game. And I hadn't met that many stars. Right. And I was just like, I can't believe, are we going to Orlando Jones' house? Yeah. He was fresh off of doing, he had already said goodbye to the 7-Up commercials, and now he had the movie that had just come out with him and

David Duchovny and Sean William Scott called Evolution or something like that. And we were all hanging out. I don't know, but I was excited to be with any star. I was excited. I was just excited. I felt like I'm living the Hollywood dream. I'm not waiting tables anymore. I'm partying with Orlando Jones and

Donald Faison in a pool. And Deontay Gordon was with us too. And Deontay Gordon, Donald's stand-in slash our friend. And then I went and did this fantasy. So I was just watching it because I remember that, being in pain. And it's a very funny fantasy. So I was grateful this many years later I didn't ruin a moment for the fans because that's a funny fantasy.

It's hilarious. He's not going to make it. Then you come in and you turn on like he's a jukebox. For those of you who are too young to remember, the Fonz, who I'm spoofing here, pretty much had magical powers. When it came to jukeboxes and women,

yes, the Fonzie... Maybe in the beginning he was just jukeboxing, but then as I recall in later episodes of Happy Days, he could work magic with his tap. he could snap and women out of nowhere would show up yeah fonzie had to move out of milwaukee because he had dated every woman in milwaukee as i recall that was that was a subplot he had he had been on a date with every single woman in milwaukee and he could so he had to go out of city for that right on such a funny scene though such a funny scene and that's how you you know we all scene though such a funny scene and that's

how you you know we all believe in miracles well that's how that's what starts off your really cool arc about testing your faith and and so was it dropped from you you mentioned earlier that it was was your was church's religiousness dropped from here on out like did it ever come up again did you stop wearing that cross the cross is so prevalent by the way i love how you never see this cross ever before, but in this episode, because you're supposed to be religious, the cross is in every shot. Well, we shot it in another episode also, but the cross is, it was after this, you don't see the cross anymore, I believe. And we don't talk about Turk's faith really anymore. Which is bizarre because at the end of the episode, your faith is restored.

I mean, you literally have a sign from God to go save a pregnant woman in the park. Right. Like I just knew she was in the park. Yeah. How did you just know? Did you even know, does Turk even know Sarah's storyline about her having a pregnant woman? I think the whole hospital knows about it because she's escaped and everybody's on the lookout for her. Okay. So the roof by the way how funny is it that judy trying to cheer you up wants to bang on the roof of the hospital i know i thought that was a funny plot line like here baby i'll cheer you up let's have sex on this gravelly dirty rooftop yeah i look back at that i look back at that and i'm like turk what were you thinking i love how i'm i thinking? I love how I'm watching it going, ugh, it's going to be so gross. And you're like, ugh, what was Turk thinking?

I don't know. I think having sex in really awkward places is always such a thing you only see in movies. Have you had sex in awkward places before? Well, I'm not going to go too into my sex life for everybody, but I think I have hooked up on the beach with someone and thought, this looks way better in the movies. There's sand in my creases. Yeah.

No, I have never had sex in really any awkward places before. There you go. We're giving the exclusive here on Fake Doctors, Real Friends, Donald Faison, never having sex in an any awkward There you go! We're giving the exclusive here on Fake Doctors Real Friends, Donald Faison, never having sex in an awkward place. I know people that have done it in some crazy places I'm like, you're out of your mind. There's people who are into that They think of it like notches on their

belt, like, you're not going to believe where we banged the hospital roof Yeah, Turk and Carla aren't that couple What about those people who brag about having sex In airplane bathrooms I always thought that would be humiliating To come out of the bathroom And everyone's looking at you

It's so obvious what you did It's not The thing is Not a lot of people have the opportunity to have sex Over a mile above the earth. Right. And so I get the allure. You do get the allure. Yeah, I get the allure, but I'm not jealous of it, like

you just said. I can't picture you doing that. It doesn't sound like a very Donald Faison thing to do. I mean, you never know. Oh, so you might. I mean, if it's a private jet. Oh, a private jet doesn't count? I'm talking about a commercial airplane. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Especially now after what we're going through right now with this whole quarantine thing. Oh, before the quarantine, you would definitely bang in a bathroom. Before the quarantine, I think a lot of people would be like, yeah, that's a possibility. But now I think after the quarantine thing, it's like, oh, there's a little too much germs. I can't picture Casey Cobb being like, all right. There's no way. It's time. Absolutely not. I would be like, babe, let's a little too much germs. I can't picture Casey Cobb being like, all right, There's no way. It's time. Absolutely not.

I would be like, babe, let's do it. And she'd look at me like I was stupid. She'd be like, come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. That's funny.

All right. So the park's called Miller Park. I couldn't help but think that might be for Krista Miller. Okay. Right?

Yeah, sure. The park's called Miller Park. I mean, Bill said he's not great at naming shit, so. Speaking of Krista Miller, she's back.

She's back. And she looks beautiful, and she's funny as shit. And 6.33 is the first time I say banana hammock. Now, what is a banana hammock? Is it the thing that Rob, a.k.a. Todd, wears, the tiny? Yes. Yes. And it's called a banana hammock because, obviously...

It's like laying your banana in a hammock. In a hammock. Okay. Now, I guess there are people, men, that wear these for real. Strippers. Yeah. I mean, I think if you're comfortable... If you don't have problems with your thighs rubbing together,

banana hammocks are very comfortable. Could you ever consider, would you ever consider? No, because I have- Wait, listen, before you answer, if you knew you weren't going to be photographed by a paparazzo, by the way, singular of paparazzi is paparazzo. I don't know if you knew that. Okay. If you knew that you weren't going to be photographed and it would just be you on the beach in wherever, Brazil,

would you rock one of those? If I had no worry about anyone ever seeing me in this, then why not go nude, right? No, I'm talking about you're still on a beach. People are like around. No, then no. I would not rock one of those. If people are around, then no. I would never rock one of those.

I sometimes think it would be fun to wear a Speedo. I would never rock one of those. I sometimes think it would be fun to wear a Speedo. Like, you know, again, I don't want to wear it and have people look at me and judge, you know, everything going on. But I just think sometimes when I see people wearing them, I go, I think that might feel nice to have a Speedo on, be out and about. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I prefer to.

I have issues with, like, chafing with my thighs and stuff like that. Oh, you don't have a thigh gap. Yeah, no quads and i got some thigh gap i think i might have a thigh gap let me see yeah i have a little thigh gap i don't have a thigh gap yeah my my my inner thigh touch yeah they clap they clap that's the worst oh you want to talk about feeling uh feeling uh running with the chafe yeah after a while and then having the burn in between it's the worst you can't jog because of your thighs i can jog if i put on something like compression shorts but i can't wear like i can't wear tighty whities like i don't wear tighty whities because even just walking is an issue with tighty whities yeah i can't wear tighty whities. Like I don't wear tighty whities because even just walking is an issue with tighty whities. Yeah. I don't wear tighty whities anymore either, but I used to be quite loyal to them. Yeah. The janitor is for no reason that 940

punched in the balls by a little girl and both the little girl and the mom acknowledged the janitor. and the mom acknowledge the janitor. So, Bill, since you hold fast to the idea that the janitor only reacted with JD in season one and may have been a figment of his imagination, why is it that a little girl randomly punches Neil in the balls and he reacts? Yeah, when the janitor got hit in the balls by that girl uh like the nine and a half minute mark uh you want me to explain how the janitor can only interact with jd

if this actually happened that's easy um five six seven eight no bill Man, turn it off. Fucking guy. The old school PSA. Yes, great. Hilarious. So funny. Very funny and very clever. Yeah, I mean, really, and just well executed. Kudos to Jeff Mellman, the director, and Deb for writing it. I thought that was just really clever, really well executed, those sort of spoofing those 1950s you know what do you call

them instructional videos yes but then afterward after the fantasy was over we did it again where uh the person who did the voiceover for the fantasy is now in the room with you right and he brings up like communism as though he's still back in the 50s right and then looks he's looking off into the distance i guess into nowhere and then you look at him to see what he's still back in the 50s. Right, and then he's looking off into the distance, I guess into nowhere, and then you look at him to see what he's looking at, and then you exit that direction. I think he was trying to be one of those,

picture a 1950s announcer guy who's looking off into the distance, and thus we will fight communism. And then he's sort of frozen like that. But it was sort of a JD.D. sort of head look. So then I kind of did a look to him like, are you doing my thing or what are you looking at? And then I tried to look where he was going. But that's pulling out of a fantasy and still being.

Yes. You know, this is another example of that. That's not something that happened too often. No, this is the second time it happened. Well, we talked about the guy who was frozen after the orderly, who was frozen after everybody else was frozen. It's not something I think Bill, I think he said that he started phasing that out, but I thought it was clever. Very clever.

Same here. I have a couple of things. We shaved the baby. Okay. I laughed out loud. I laughed out loud. I shaved the baby. Yeah. Shaved and haircut. Two bits. Yeah. I laughed out loud i laughed out loud you shaved the baby yeah shaved and a haircut two bits yeah i laughed out loud that was jd's jd's um improvisation for solving the problem we shaved the baby you shaved the baby yep

shaved the baby shave and a haircut long Long pause. Two bits. Bill told me early on that one of the things he loved about Michael J. Fox working on Spin City was that Michael J. Fox, and everybody, when you think about this, when you hear this, you'll think about family ties and some of the amazing timing he had, was that he knew how long he could milk a pause before that punchline like michael j fox was fucking genius at you know i'll just use this example how long he could have the audience especially if the audience got ahead of it right he knew that you still i mean it's even better with a sitcom live audience but he knew it shave and haircut and haircut, two bits. He could just milk it. That's pretty good. Even if the audience started, and a sitcom started giggling because they were ahead of it, he could just milk that. And Bill said, and I think that landed in my head in some of my Scrubs timings because I wanted to impress him like Michael J. Fox. But I always think of that when you watch some of Michael J. Fox's amazing timing, how he just was a master of how long to hold it. Like even let the audience get ahead of it, it's fine.

And then say it. And it would be so much more gratifying. Right. I mean, Michael J. Fox is, you know, one of our best when it comes to just, you know. I mean, Family Ties. Did you watch Family Ties? Of course I watched family ties uh he was amazing in that and also back to the future you know the first we i talk about back to the

future a lot because it's one of my favorite movies but the first back to the future i know there's some plot holes in it that a lot of people can't get over but to me that movie is almost flawless you know what i mean uh as far as time travel stories are so difficult to do you know what i mean and or i shouldn't say difficult to do i should say they're just doing a time travel story it's been done so many times before right so you have to be pretty creative to make it feel like oh this is a oh no you know people say another time travel story. But if it's as good as Back to the Future was, you accept it and you're willing to go on the ride. Otherwise, it's like some cheese shit and theory gets in the way of a lot of stuff. It's just one of those movies that you make a, in my opinion, it's a perfect movie. And wasn't it amazing that a movie could turn out that good,

and it was a film that they started over because they recast the lead. Right. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you mentioned this before, but for those of you who didn't hear that or didn't know, it was originally Eric Stoltz.

I don't know how long they shot. You read the book. Do you remember? They shot half of the movie. So they shot all of the stuff in the 50s. That's incredible. They shot half of the fucking movie? Yeah.

So they shot everything in the 50s. When they talk about the movie, like, you know, Michael J. Fox is very athletic, obviously. What's the name of this book? Do you remember? I don't remember it. The dude tweeted it. Joelle's going to look it up. She's on it.

But they shot half the movie. And they said, you know, Michael J. Fox is very athletic. But they said Eric Stoltz on a skateboard was magic he just seemed way more at home on a skateboard than probably was a skateboard yeah right than michael j fox did and you know the rock and roll side of things they say in the book you know eric stoltz had that you know has that very much grunge rock appeal to him. You know what I mean? And Michael J. Fox is, you know, he is what he is. He's, you know, when you look at him, you're not like,

yo, that dude just listens to rock all the time. Even if he does, you know what I mean? He doesn't have that look to him. And they said Eric did. It just didn't work out. Yeah. I mean, how humbling. Can you imagine your your i mean thank god eric stoltz went on to have this incredible career and holy shit in mask if you haven't seen the movie mask and that's the thing so they talk about that in the book the

reason why he was put in the movie was because he had mass the mass coming out you know what i mean and so they were banking on him getting nominated for an Academy Award for that movie, but then being in this blockbuster action-adventure time travel movie. The name of the book is Back to the Future. I've got to click on it. The Ultimate Visual History. Yes. Back to the Future, The Ultimate Visual History by Michael Clasterin. Yeah.

So if you're a fan of the movie as much as Donald is, you might want to check that out because it sounds fascinating. I'm always fascinated in these production stories where someone's recast or they start over. I mean, I don't know if it's true, so don't hold me to this, but I heard that American Beauty, which is one of my favorite movies, they shot like, not as much as this, but they shot like a week of, and the director said to the producers, I didn't get the tone quite right. You know, the tone of American Beauty is so specific. And as the rumor I heard goes, he said, I just didn't quite nail it.

I need to scrap that week and start over. And the DreamWorks producers, including Spielberg and the other fellows, let him do it. That's interesting, because Spielberg's very much involved in Back to the Future as well. So maybe he's the kind of producer that if you're... It was Sam Mendes. Sorry, Sam Mendes' first film. I love American Beauty. Please see that if you haven't. Again, it might be Hollywood

lore, but I heard that they sort of started over again on that one. So these stories where some movie is so incredible, it has such an impact and then there's something that happened where they recast them. Well, it happens all the time. Some Star Wars movies, they did that with some of the Star Wars movies, like Rogue One. Apparently, there's a whole, you know, they shot almost all of Rogue One and went back and reshot a lot of the stuff in it.

Really? Yeah. Same thing with Solo. Well, of course. That's changing the directors. it. Really? Yeah. Same thing with Solo. You remember, you know, we talked about Phil and Chris. Well, of course, that's changing the directors. That's even crazier.

Yeah, but there's a whole cut. There's a whole movie. According to lore, there's a whole movie that they made that you can actually take all of the special effects and all of the things

that they did in the actual Solo movie and you can put it into what they shot, and it's a completely different movie, but it still all fits together. What do you think happened? They were, obviously, my guess is,

they were just doing their hilarious, improv-y, comedic thing, and then Kathleen Kennedy, that's her name, did she just not like that style? She's saying that's not Star Wars? No, I don't know if it was her. I don't know if it was, I don't know if it was the writer of the movie

who's gone on to write some incredible movies. Jonathan Kasdan. It's Jonathan Kasdan. His dad wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yeah, Lawrence Kasdan. Yeah, he wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and they both teamed up to write Solo.

I don't know what happened. I'd love to know that story. If we could reach out to them and they want to be on the podcast and right here they want to talk about... I don't think, even if we were to get Chris and Phil on the podcast, I don't think they're going to out their whole solo story. No, not Chris and Phil.

Let's ask Jonathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan. They'll never do it. I don't think they'll do it. How cool would it be if I could go and cut to it and then they'd see it. optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine, hosted by me, Danielle Robay.

maybe we'll be able to get really fancy guests. And now, Lawrence Kasdan. Yeah, I always wondered what happened with that because I don't know why you would hire Chris and Phil if not to do what they do so well, which was to make it funny. And it seems to me, not as someone who's as dialed into the Star Wars universe as you, but when I think of Han Solo, I think, oh, let's give him some jokes. Let's have him be quippy and funny. And it seemed like a perfect marriage. But obviously, they were doing it.

It would be a real interesting – it'd be very interesting to see that, you know, that side of things. And I love Solo, you know what I mean? There are a lot of people out there that really like that movie. And I'm one of those people. It's a fun Star Wars movie. So then Ron Howard came in. And, you know, he's an amazing director himself. Right.

You know what's one of my favorite Ron Howard movies is Parenthood, the movie. If you haven't seen Parenthood. Great movie. Great cast. Great movie. If you haven't seen Parenthood. Great cast. Great movie. Amazing cast. They went on to make a very popular TV show starring my doppelganger, Dax Shepard.

I'm going to tell you something right now. That movie has one of my favorite actors. I am a huge fan of Rick Moranis. Yeah, where's Rick Moranis been? He's amazing. Yeah, he's on his way. I guess he's agreed to do another project. I don't know what it is, but he's amazing.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Maybe he's coming back for that. That would be so awesome. I know they're redoing that with Josh Gad, and I think that he might be joining him. Oh, that'd be so cool. Joelle's nodding, so that means yes. Yeah, Rick Moran has tragically lost his wife

at the height of his career, so he quit to raise his children, and now his children are grown, and he's coming back, and I'm so excited. Thank God. He's so talented. I'm so happy he's coming back, because I'm so excited. Thank God. He's so talented. I'm so happy he's coming back. Because he's a funny, funny man.

All right. Let's get back to the show. Let's get back to the show, Donald. One of my favorite fantasies, and I still use it to this day. I ain't buying it. Trying to sell somebody the book on the kid getting hit, the baby with prenatal lice. Yeah.

And Krista says, Jordan says, I ain't buying it at the checkout stand. That was funny. That's funny. And you passed something that I want to say still about shaving the baby's head. It was funny. Oh, when Johnny sees mad that I didn't correctly tape over the, and by the way, for those of you who are young, that's a VHS recorder. So there used to be these giant tapes called VHS tapes.

But I was laughing when Johnny sees yelling at me because I fucked up the tape. And I go, I was there. I could jot down some of my feelings and impressions. It's a very Woody Allen reading. Very Woody Allen, yeah. I could jot down some of my feelings and impressions. What am I going to do? Write down, and my feelings and impressions. Like I was going to, what am I going to do?

Like write down like, and then the head emerged. Let's talk about Johnny C. McGinley as the Grinch. That was really funny. He nailed that. Yes, he did.

And the words that he's saying, are those words from Dr. Seuss's nursery rhymes? I think they're supposed to be Dr. Seuss-y, but they're not real Seuss words. Yeah, but they did a great job on his hair and makeup. I thought he looked really cool. It was funny looking. I wonder how long he was in hair and makeup for. I could tell

from being on the show. That was hours and hours and hours. He had hair, like green hair glued to his face and stuff. Yeah. Sinner Man by Nina Simone, which is, they really must have rolled out the bucks to pay for Nina Simone on this episode as you run to Miller Park. To Miller Park. You know, that was what I was talking about when we were talking about the platform shoes

and having to run. Oh, that's when they made Deontay run? They made Deontay do all of the things that you saw me do in that episode in like 12 inch platform shoes however sure much shorter he is than me by the way eight inch whatever why are you running why are you running like a cartoon character do you notice that it's like this really dramatic moment and then you're taking corners you know how when cartoon people run they like skid at the corners and they have to like they have to like catch up you're doing that shit. I'm like, bro. It all comes from Michael J. Fox, man. We spoke about him earlier.

It really is true, man. Michael J. Fox had some of the best running moments in the history of running. In Teen Wolf, when he's running through the halls and the guy's mopping, and he's like, it's slippery that way. And Mike runs through and then slides all the way through camera, all the way through the hallway, and then comes running back. But as he's coming back, he's trying to keep his balance on this slippery floor. So you're saying that moment, you're running in this was inspired by that? Everything I've done in-

Everything I do, I do it for you. I do it for Michael J. Fox. Well, no, but there's a whether it's a run or a walk or a facial expression, a lot of these come from my favorite actors. Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Michael J.

Fox, Rick Moranis, Robin Williams, Bill Murray. All of these people did something that I saw. And I was like, I'm going to I'm going to try and do. I wrote down in 1918, Turk runs like a cartoon character. Right. That all came from me trying to run like Michael J. Fox. Yeah. So Turk gets a sign. He's on the roof again. Right.

You're on the roof again. Yeah. And you're just up there having a moment. And you have a come to Jesus moment, if you will, that there's a pregnant woman about to give birth in the park. And you run, and you run like a cartoon character to Nina Simone's Sinner Man. Yes.

Beautiful song. And then you run to the park and you deliver a baby. Now, Turk probably hasn't delivered that many babies. Oh, he's a surgeon. I imagine. Yeah, but he's not,

yeah, he's probably done a fair amount. I imagine that he's, he's a surgeon. Yeah, he's probably done a fair amount. I imagine that he's not a gyno, but I know he's probably assisted. Joel, speaking of gynos, we're jumping around, but in the very beginning of the episode, Kelso is being sexist and saying to Sarah

that she's going to become a gynecologist, OBGYN. And then Joel found this thing. According to an article by the American Medical Association, the breakdown of specialties dominated by women in 2019, 83.4% of OBGYNs are women. Wow. And 72% of pediatricians are women.

Am I reading that right, Joelle? So Kelso had it right. Well, I mean, I was offended by kelso i was like fuck this guy and then joel handed me this and uh you know i guess but i understand that like i i was your was your have your ob-gyn's been been female or male uh first one was a guy i was was asking Donald, Joelle, but please. Oh my god. Joelle. I can't handle answering this question for his wife.

Donald doesn't have an OBGYN. Oh my god, I'm laughing so hard. Joelle got so lost in the episode she started answering. You were totally asking Joelle. Wait, Joelle, sorry. I want you to answer. Don't get me wrong but but you go first then and then we'll call on donald donald has had 11 000 children so i wanted

to know what go for you joelle have your ob-gyn's been uh mostly i'd say mostly yeah three women one guy how about you donald my life casey's uh is a male and your other other baby mamas do you remember uh you don't remember it's okay not to remember i don't i feel like if i was giving Is a male. Mm-hmm. And your other baby mamas, do you remember? You don't remember. It's okay not to remember. I don't remember. I feel like if I was giving birth and I had a vagina, I'd want a woman. But maybe that's ridiculous to say. What's my gut response?

Okay, well, here's a good survey we should do. And we won't use that as an example. Let's use massaging as an example, okay? Yeah, yeah. Because that's pretty intimate and it's harmless. Right, what do you massaging as an example. Okay? Yeah, yeah. Because that's pretty intimate and it's harmless. Right, what do you get, a man or a woman?

Exactly, what do you get, a man or a woman? I always get a woman. Same here. Joelle? Strongest hands? Who has the strongest hands? So you choose...

So that's what you say. So you just say, who's got the best hands? So when they say man or female, male or female, you say strongest hands. Absolutely. Oh, the end, I thought it was funny that Sarah was you're holding judy like in front of you but sarah's

holding me in front of her right in front of the christmas tree yes that's funny i also there was one other part that we should talk about and that's uh when cox and jordan are fighting each other about their haircut shaving and everything like that. And then you jump in the middle and then they automatically turn on JD. And that's a lesson that I've learned at a young, that I learned at a young age, I guess JD was never, you know,

I didn't have friends that had brothers or sisters or anything like that, but never get involved in a couple is fighting. You stay out of it. Unless they invite you into the argument, stay away, because that thing will turn on you so quick. It's hard sometimes because you want to weigh in, but you can't. But you got to keep it to yourself. You got to keep it to yourself.

I had friends growing up, the Rogers brothers. There was four of them, right? And they would, you know, when they fought, they would fight viciously, punching and grabbing and choking, and choking and you know they would beat each other up and you'd be like you guys are brothers stop it and you'd get in the middle of it and then their anger all of a sudden went from them wanting to kick each other's ass to now them kicking your ass and two on one ain't fun dude or three on one four on one ain't fun man and it or three on one, four on one ain't fun, man. And it would be, it would be, I would. So when JD did that to Jordan and Cox, I was like, that's the dumbest. That's the, that's a rookie mistake.

That's the dumbest move ever. Never get involved in couples arguing. Right. Right. Well, I, I, I, I definitely try and stay out, but in your head, you're thinking like you're, you're judging and you're saying like, but aren't you also happy when you're out in public and you see a couple fighting and you're like, yes, it's not me. Yeah, absolutely.

Absolutely. That's the one thing that my wife and I try not to do. It's always like, wait till we get home. Wait till we get home. Oh, really? You do the wait till we get home. I don't do that. That's what she does to me.

Oh, really? We can talk when we get home. We go, right? And I know right then and now i'm not going to i'm not going to sleep tonight oh it's the worst and then you have to drive home and just like in silence yeah and then you walk in and it's on and my wife's the type of person that's like i'll i don't like going to bed mad well at least she has it out you know i i think that's way better to have it out even if it's like impassioned rather than just sitting on it i hate that and um and i don't think you should go to to sleep

mad either i think that's a good a good uh habit to have trying dude i've been i've been damn near sleeping where i'm just in uh where i'm passed out my eyes are closed and i'm just agreeing now right just so i could go to sleep. The path of least resistance. And she'll be like, so what did I say? And I'll be like, oh, God, there you go. See, you weren't listening.

I was listening. Don't go to bed angry, everybody. That's a lesson here from fake doctors, real friends. Oh, one last thing I forgot. And let's ask Bill about this also. Go ahead. You're going to get Bill too this week. Okay, go ahead.

Okay, so there was an alternate ending to this episode. Right, but that's so dark. It's so dark. It was so dark to end the Christmas episode. I wasn't even going to bring it up because we were being so giddy, and it's a bit dark, but okay, go for it. Yeah, there was a dark ending to this episode, and I'm sure the fans want to know. I don't think it was.

Was it an ending, or was it a subplot that was woven through? I think it was a subplot. It might have been. Let's ask Bill. Bill, I know at the end of this episode, there was a moment in between Jordan and we almost forgot about the call. There was a moment with Jordan and Cox where they said something different when they were looking at the baby, when they finally went to visit the baby.

And it meant something. No, there was a subplot. Do you want me to tell you what it is and then have Bill talk about it? Sure. It was a subplot that they, when they were together, had lost a child. And so that was some of the dramatic undertones of them and dealing with their friends having a new baby. And that's why they didn't want to go to the room. Right.

And I believe, or the nursery where you see kids. And I believe that Bill had an argument with the network about cutting that out. So Bill, tell us about that and what your struggle with the network was, please. You know, it's interesting. I don't remember specifically the struggle with the network was, please. You know, it's interesting. I don't remember specifically the struggle with the Jordan Cox losing a baby thing, but the one thing that we were always dealing with early on in Scrubs was that we would pitch

the network stories that weren't specifically comedies. You know, and it didn't sound like, hey, three patients come in and one of the three of them is going to die, but they all three die. Hey, Dr. Cox used to be married to someone. They lost a baby. Hey, we're going to introduce a super big movie star guest star who seems really funny and jovial, but he's going to have leukemia and then come back next year and die from it.

So we always met resistance. Thank you, Bill. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. I am so excited about this podcast, The Bright Side.

The good people at iHeart are putting together the ability for folks to have our theme song be your ringtone. We're working on it. And that's in the works because I've been getting a lot of love on the social media for our theme song, especially Wilder's version. And Wilder's version will not be available.

That's not going to be available. Wilder's version will not be available. That's not going to be available. Wilder's version will not be available for ringtone, although I did hear a lot of people say that should be the new version, forget your version, but those people are wrong. Brian, what you drinking, man? What are you drinking, Brian? This is beer. What kind of beer you got there?

It's like a hazy IPA, juicy, 8%. I like stuff that's strong. Okay, well, I got myself a little margarita. Oh, that's awesome. Is that just like lime juice, tequila? I don't know what they use at Casa Vega. There's a restaurant in my neighborhood that they... Oh, you're still drinking out of your gallons there. We have so many. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Hi, guys. Where do you live and what's happening? And Brian your, your girlfriend, wife, friend. This is my partner. This is, uh, Dr. Ellen Acree. Hi doc. Hi doc. And, uh, we live in Evanston, Illinois. Oh, I went to Northwestern. Right. Yeah. So we, we, uh, we both worked at here actually too. Um, she works at a hospital here and I own a small

business on Central Street, right down from the stadium. And so yeah, we just we do that and Ellen is eight and Yeah, almost nine months pregnant. I'm almost at the finish line. Congratulations. Congratulations. Do you guys know what you're having?

A boy. Nice. I was going to say a person. A person. Congratulations guys. Way to go guys yeah so we're you know it's definitely uh anxiety causing you know i i we neither of us have had kids before um i used to be a teacher uh but it's not quite the same when you know you can send them home at like three o'clock and just be done with them um so now it's like they're here for good. Okay, Brian, I'm going to give you a little bit of.

You're talking to the right man, Brian Donald. I have so many kids. Okay. I know. That's what I heard. Nine, right? Yeah, something like that. He doesn't even remember.

Something like that. Right. That's a great story. How many kids you got? Something like nine, I think. Six that I know about. So the first year, Brian, there's not much you can do. Nice.

That's the honest to goodness truth. Except be supportive, change diapers. But there's not much you can do because the baby's not going to. Can't you say, honey, can I get you anything? Absolutely. You better say that. You have to say that. That's supportive, right?

That's being supportive. So there's not much you can do the first year. It's after that where you are hands-on and in it to win it, or she's going to leave you. Yeah. Remember that. Yes. Yeah, Brian, write that down.

Yes. She is basically keeping us comfortable, so I'm not going to play with that at all. Right on. Well, I'm so happy for you. That's exciting. Thank you. And do you have any names in mind, like Zach or Donald?

Yeah, I wanted Jennifer Dillon or something like that. That'll work. It's a boy. So we went with Ellen. We're going to name him Gabriel and call him Gabe. Beautiful. I love it. Beautiful name.

Beautiful name. Gabe Finn O'Malley. Oh, Finn's a good name, too. Now, Finn from Star Wars or just Finn because? Not everything is Star Wars, Donald. But sometimes it can be. I could. Huh?

Honestly, I was thinking more Huck Finn from Mark Twain, to be honest. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, there's that Finn, too. Way more literary, Donald. Come on. There's that Finn, too. All right, Brian, go ahead with your question for the legendary Donald Faison. And Zach Graff.

It's for both of you, yeah. Oh, fine. I'll answer. It definitely relates to what we were talking about. But I was curious, which character between you and Donald and maybe Dr. Cox do you think was the best dad overall? And then kind of a follow-up, but what, what do you think their kids would be like now, like 15, 20 years later? Wow.

Wow, good question. Well, I do think both characters were very excited about their children. And I think we saw from a flash forward, as I recall, that don't they end up getting married? They do, and we lose it. Oh, I faint. Yeah, that was like the saddest episode.

I think I faint. As I recall, I did this. I wiped my... You do the fan. I fanned my eyes and fainted. Yeah, that's a gif I see all the time. I don't know. I think we'd be great parents

because, you know, both characters were, again, not afraid of showing emotion, not afraid of being affectionate. Um, I, my father was very, a very affectionate man and gave me hugs and kissed me.

And, and, um, and I, I always thought that that was important. And I, I, I love that he did,

he did that. And, uh, I think that both Turk and JD would be very involved. They're the kind of fathers that would want to be all over it, not one of those people that's like, all right, to the woman, you handle it. I'll coach sports one day. That was not my experience.

What about you? What do you think, Donald? I think Turk and JD co-parented too. You know what I mean? I think they helped each other out as far as raising their kids went. You know, they say it takes a village to raise a child. And I think their little village, I think the hospital or, you know, wherever they wound up when the show ended. I believe they still lived in the same proximity of each other. I think it was a communal

raising of the children even even uh i think yeah i think jd i uh and uh what was what was elizabeth bank's character's name kim was it kim him you didn't know zach you shut the fuck up you didn't know i was waiting for brian no. You didn't know. I was waiting for Brian. You didn't know. I was waiting for Brian. I was about, I was like. Brian got you. I was like this. I was like about to say it. I was like pretending that my mouth was opening.

And then Brian said, yeah, Kim Donald. I was waiting for Zach. Sorry. My baby mama. My baby mama. Right. So I think both kids, the one that he, that JD had with Kim and the one that he had with Elliot and then Turk's kids kids as well i think they

they were raised together and they grew up together that's a nice i think in one of the episodes you tried to like i think they got you were trying to set them up right like it was one of the series finales maybe that we were trying to set the kids up yeah weren't they like they met or something and no they as babies i remember i remember i remember doing an episode in the park where we're both trying to get them like ventriloquist dolls like dummies do you have another question uh i mean one of my other questions was just you know advice for being a dad but you you kind of already covered that you got this dude um you got yeah i mean it's listen my but and i'm gonna be honest with you my advice ain't shit i'm gonna keep it 100 with you, my advice ain't shit. I'm going to keep it 100 with you.

You know, it's how you two decide to do the thing. You know what I mean? My advice, all I can say is just show as much love as you can to your boy. That's so important. I like what Zach was saying, too. I mean, me and Alan were joking, but I was like, I think, like, the fact that JD was a sensey, you know, like being sensitive is like an important thing to impart, uh, in kids early, especially boys, I think nowadays. And so I think that's one of our, you know, our big focuses for him. And just let them be whoever they are. You know, a testament to my father was he wasn't, he was so into sports, my dad, but he

wasn't trying to make me a jock. He wasn't, you know, fortunately he was also into theater, which, which was what I took to. But, um, but I mean, just like my advice. And again, I have no kids, so don't listen to me. I have dogs and I can highly recommend crate training. Uh, I don't know if you guys want to try that, but, um, with the kid. Yeah. That's what I, that's what I always say to Donald. When I, when I, when I say to, when I'm with Donald and his kids are misbehaving, I'm like, why don't you just put them in the crate, dude? That works great for my puppy. My daughter looked at me and she was like, you're going to put me in the crate? Yeah. She's like, get in that crate right now.

She's like, but I'm not a dog. But I mean, just let them. One of the things I really cherished about my relationship with my father was that he was so accepting of whoever his kids were. And I, you know, you're obviously it's nature nurture. You're going to be shaping a part of who they are, of course, too. But but let them show you who they are and then and then and then celebrate that and let that flourish. Again, that's coming from someone with no children, but it is coming from someone who who had a great dad and was really

appreciative that he was like that. Well, can I ask one more thing sort of related but did you guys i you know i didn't like look up biographies do you guys have siblings yes i have several siblings i have four brothers two uh that i grew up with and two that i did not grow up with but we we were a big family i think that's why i have such a big family now. I feel like it's the more, the merrier. Yeah. I have, um, I have two,

I have, um, three, sorry, let me start again. I had four children total in my family and I'm sorry, I'm, I'm struggling with this just to be honest. I lost my sister two years ago.

So I'm like literally trying, so sorry. It's okay. But I'm trying to answer this question, uh, honestly. And it's like, I'm having to recount.

There were four children in my family, and then my parents got divorced and remarried, and I gained three stepsisters. So two stepsisters on one side, one stepsister on the other side. So we were a huge family. And, yeah, so I also think you guys should have more. So sorry, sorry, guys, but you're going to have to have more kids so they can. Well, that's what I was thinking because we only have the one,

and that's probably going to be it. So the whole only child, especially nowadays when I don't even know when he'll be able to hang out with other kids, or if he'll be able to go to preschool or stuff like that, daycare. Right. I think you've got it some years before you worry about that. So you'll be fine. Hopefully vaccines or something like that will be invented,

and we can all go back to a new normal sometime within a year or two. Yeah. That would be awesome. Is the keg still open in Evanston? The bar? No. Keg is closed. That's where we used to go and try and sneak in with our fake IDs.

Yeah. That's probably why they closed. It's a bar or beer shop type place. What's the name of your place? It's called Beer on Central. It's not very inventive because we're on Central. Do you want us to do

an ad for it right now? We're going to do an ad for it. Donald, when I'm in Evanston, Illinois, and I want a beer, you know where I go? Where do you go, Zach? I go to Beer on Central.

Beer on Central? Is that a place? Oh, it's a place and it's in Evanston. And if you're going to buy beer, it's the best place to buy beer. It's called Beer on Central. Is it on Central? Is that a place? Oh, it's a place, and it's in Evanston. And if you're going to buy beer, it's the best place to buy beer. It's called Beer on Central. Is it on Central?

It's on Central, and it's called Beer on Central. Oh, awesome. And, you know, a lot of Northwestern students are always looking for a place to buy beer. Do you sell kegs, Brian? We don't, but, I mean, after this, I can. Yes, Brian is going to change his whole business model to offer kegs to all you college kids. This advertisement, I'll do that. Yes. This is worth millions of dollars in free advertising.

Yeah, no, this is insane. Beer on Central. Beer on Central. The next time I'm in Evanston, Illinois, I am going to check out beer on Central. Yeah, and you know what, Donald? You know what, Donald? I might even just go to Evanston to buy beer from Beer on Central. You know what? If you do, just tell them Brian O'Malley sent you.

I will. Brian, what's a beer that you recommend? Oh, Brian's the only one there. So it'd be like, Brian. Right now, during everything. Brian, for those people who are listening who like beer, can you recommend one of your micro brew or fancy beers that people should try that you highly recommend? Right now, what's really popular is, like I was drinking earlier, these hazy IPAs. They tend to be stronger, very juicy, not bitter,

very popular. This one's from St. Aaron. They're great. Hot Butcher. There's a bunch of really cool ones in the city. So St. Aaron. They're great. Hot Butcher. There's a bunch of really cool ones in the city. Grass Beer is amazing. So St. Aaron is the brand? Yeah, that's what I'm having now is a St. Aaron. Can I get that anywhere? Can I get that in Los Angeles? No.

Like right now, we only do local stuff. There's so much stuff in the city. That's even cool. One of the other things I like about Beer on Central, Donald. What is that? It's all local beer. Oh, my. You're talking about beer on Central? Yeah.

One of my favorite things about beer on Central in Evanston, Illinois, is that it's all stocked with local breweries. That sounds delicious. I like IPA a lot, by the way. And this is going to sound really lame in Hollywood, but I'm gluten-free. And there are some really good gluten-free IPA beers. Yeah, we have some too. There's one called Omission. I'll give a shout-out to.

Yeah, we have Omission. And there's one, I think, called Gutenberg. Not Steve Gutenberg. Glutenberg maybe? Glutenberg. Yeah, they'd have gluten in the title. So there you go. I'm giving those beers a shout-out,

and they should advertise with us because we're giving such a wonderful advertisement to Beer On Central. I could rob you guys out a box. Give me an address, and I'll send you out some beer. No, no, no. I'm not giving you my address. That's fair.

Give me a P.O. box. No, we don't want to take your wares. We don't want to take your wares. You need to make that money for this baby. That's right. That is true. She's making all the money, really. So that being said, if you're ever in Evanston, Illinois,

the place to go for a great local beer, Beer on Central. Beer on Central, everybody. Beer on Central. And listen, guys, thanks for coming on. Thanks for the good questions. Thanks for telling us about Beer on Central. And have fun in Evanston, Illinois. I spent four years there and had a great time,

although it's too fucking cold for human beings. Ladies and gentlemen, big round of applause for Brian O'Malley. And Beer on Central. Oh, wow. You gave Beer on Central the Oprah treatment. Yeah, why not? What's the name of your partner again? Ellen.

Dr. Ellen Acri. And Dr. Ellen Acri. And Dr. Alan Acri! Oh my god. You're blowing out the mixer here, Donald. I'm not. Dan got it. Oprah doesn't go that loud. Sure she does.

The mixer at the Oprah show is like, here she goes, and he's fucking ready. She's about to do it. Hand over the button. You can just see the mixer in the back of the Oprah show going, oh shit, she's fucking ready. She's about to do it. Hand over the button. You can just see the mixer in the back of the Oprah show going, oh shit, she's going to yell and put his finger over it. I hope Dan does that when you're saying hello to guests. All right, bye guys.

Thank you so much. Take care. Bye, thank you so much. Be healthy. Congratulations. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Wow, Donald. What nice folks, Donald. And I got to tell you, Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Wow, Donald. What nice folks, Donald. Mm-hmm. And I got to tell you, I'm going to frequent beer on Central. Next time you're in Evanston, Illinois. Do you drink beer? You don't really drink beer anymore, do you? I'm a huge beer drinker.

I just, you know. It's so fattening. Yeah, I find that it's a little heavy for me. That's the only thing. It just feels like shit when you're working out and trying to stay thin, and then you go have a fucking big-ass thick beer, and you're like, I might as well have a milkshake. Right.

I like hard liquor. Yeah, I know. Oh, I know. Oh, you're an asshole. You like tequila. Well, no. It was Cinco de Mayo yesterday, and the last time I had tequila, it was the last thing that I had in the cupboard.

But what I truly like, I like a good bourbon or scotch. What about Courvoisier? No. What is Courvoisier? It's a drink. It's a brown liquor. You know, for a while I was— Joelle, what's Courvoisier?

She's looking. I was a Hennessy drinker for a while, you know, or E&J. I liked E&J back in the day. I don't know what any of these drinks are. You don't know what Hennessy is? I've heard of Hennessy, but I don't think I've ever tried it. You don't know what Hennessy... You've had an Incredible Hulk before and you don't know what Hennessy is.

Do you remember the Incredible Hulk? Oh, we used to play poker and you would make a... Oh, it's cognac, she says. We used to play poker and you would make a drink. Oh, it's cognac, she says. We used to play poker and you would make a drink called the Hulk. Was that a real drink or you made it up? I didn't make that up. But when you mixed Hennessy and not Alizé, but hypnotic. Hennessy and hypnotic mixed together.

Sounds horrible. Oh, but it would turn Hulk green. And you'd only need one. It was so sweet, right green and you'd only need one. It was so sweet, right? But you'd only need one to knock you on your ass. And we would play poker and the crew would come over. You know, Calvin would come over. Ethan would come over.

You would come over. And we'd drink that all night and freaking be hammered until like four o'clock, five o'clock in the morning. Yeah, playing poker. Have you ever had a cement mixer? What the heck is that? It's fucking nasty. It's two different things. You guys can Google it if you want to puke.

I remember doing this on my 21st birthday, and I puked. But it's two different alcohols you put in your mouth, and they solidify when they react with each other, and it feels like a cementy oatmeal thing that's disgusting it's so gross that is disgusting it's the kind of thing that college kids do shots of like jagermeister you ever do shots of jagermeister yeah i'm proud to say that at 45 years old i can't drink like that anymore nor do i want to a hangover is like four days yeah i you know i've learned a little thing do you remember

we did that thing in scrubs yeah pd like we did that thing in scrubs that it's become so relevant in my life i don't know what episode it was but we went around the table of all the different ages of women who is the was mandy the the young one mandy it was mandy more and then sarah and then judy and then kr, and then Krista. And they were all hungover, and the camera went around and showed all the different levels of how a hangover affects different ages. Yes. And then by the time it got to Krista, she had sunglasses on and was asleep. And just blacked out, yeah.

With a smile on her face. I think of that fantasy, or not fantasy, I think of that moment all the time because, man, a hangover at 45 uh man a hangover at 45 is not a hangover at 25 no it's not listen i miss you do you it's always so nice to touch base with you do you really miss me i really do man i i if if the world were open i'd have you over we'd we'd sit by the pool we'd have a we'd have a margarita i would i'd bring my picture of margarita to you.

You'd bring your pitcher over. I'm supposed to write today, but I would scrap writing and just join you by the pool for margaritas. That's what would happen today. You're working right now, huh? I am. I'm writing. Look, do you want to see?

I'll show you. Look at this. This is just showing that shit ain't fucking around. This is the first draft. Wow. You're for real about it. He just pulled out a two finger that's about an inch of uh yeah it's way too long right now a typical screen a typical screenplay for those

of you uh not in the know is roughly 120 pages because they say roughly a script works out to a page a minute and you don't want your movie typically to exceed 120 minutes. And this first draft is 144 pages, so there'll be lots of cutting to occur, but it's happening, Donald. The wheels are turning. Good for you. Yeah. Good for you.

Aren't you going to ask what you usually ask when I write a screenplay? Are there any black people in it? There are black people in it, and there might even be a part for you. A good part, or are you just going to throw me a little bone? You'll probably have to audition. When I gave Donald my first draft of Garden State, he said, are there any-

No, you said to me, I really want you to read my script. Right. I really want you to read my script. It was my first screenplay. He was my new best friend. And I said, I'd really like you to read this. And he said, are there any black people in it? And I said, there's one or two.

One you're not right for because he's an African man that's been adopted by Natalie Portman's family. And the other is being- At the time, you had given the part to most deaf is what you said to me. No, I didn't. Yeah, you did. Really? It was always Method Man. Okay, so then it was method man at the time yeah you said you said yeah and then the other part i gave to method man yeah and i knew right then and there that i would never read that script

and so donald donald in protest because i had given the role uh to to method man um never read the script it's great movie though movie, though. Thank you. Thanks for checking it out. Very, very, very well received also. Thank you. And you're in. Thank you. Oh, Dan's giving thumbs up. And Donald, I didn't make the same mistake twice,

and I made sure to put you in Wish I Was Here. Yeah. And I was very happy to be in that movie as well. Great movie. Mandy Patinkin, holy cow. Yeah, and you were very funny in that movie. You only had- Mandy Patinkin, let's get, Mandy Patinkin, holy cow. Yeah, and you were very funny in that movie. You only had... Mandy Patinkin,

let's get... Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, holy cow. Yeah. Kate Hudson, holy cow. Yeah, there's some great performances in that movie. Great performances. Jim Parsons is funny as shit in that movie. Let's give a shout out to the film Wish I Was Here, which you can see. I think it's on Netflix. You know how I know it's on Netflix,

at least in the United States, is Joey King, who plays my daughter, has become so famous. Joey King, holy cow. Joey King steals the movie and has become so famous that Netflix has redone the poster so it's just Joey King's face.

Even if you don't watch the movie, do me a favor and go to your Netflix and look up Wish I Was Here and you will see it's a picture of Joey King's head because she has become such a big star, and particularly on Netflix with Kissing Booth, which was like one of their most watched movies ever. And I just thought it was funny that Netflix was like,

no, we don't need Kate Hudson, Zach Braff, Josh Gad, Manny Patankin on the poster, just a shot of Joey's head. But much deserved. She's a superstar that show. She is a superstar. Thank you so much for listening to Fake Doctors Real Friends I'm your co-host

Zach Braff along with my friend Donald Faison here to make you laugh here to make you smile with a touch of nostalgia have a great day take them to church
