Hey guys, this is Donald Faison. And Zach Braff. So this podcast, we recorded it the same day after everyone found out George Floyd getting murdered. First of all, I do not necessarily know what to say to everyone out there. Truthfully, I wish everything and everyone could be happy right now, but that's definitely not what's going on in the world. For me, this is a time where I feel like, I don't know, I wish that I could sit here and say we're making progress, but we want to make you laugh here.

I will say this. I am very, very supportive of the people out there fighting the good fight that are protesting right now, and I stand with you. We also wanted to let you know that the next few podcasts were recorded before all of this has reached such a fever pitch. And we didn't want you to think for a second that we were being callous about that

and not dialed in to what's happening. So we just wanted to let you know the next few podcasts were recorded prior to things being as they are currently. That being said, I hope we can distract you from the madness that's going on right now for just an hour and a half. For just an hour and a half, sit back and enjoy this with us.

Here we go. So, Don, you're five, six minutes late. Well, you know, this is how we do it. This is how we do it. Five minutes late. My wife hotboxed me, yo. She took a shower right before the podcast, and the shower is connected to the closet. Not the shower itself, but the bathroom's connected to the closet.

Right. So it's like 200 degrees in here right now. Well, you're wearing a long-sleeved shirt. It feels like the Amazon shirt. Well, I had this on for The View today, man. You looked great on The View. We were on The View today, man. You looked great on The View. We were on The View today. Yeah.

Donald looked very handsome. And thank you very much. You changed your shirt. I did. I put on a nice shirt. I wanted to look good for the ladies, and I put on a nice black shirt. Yeah, you did. You look very nice.

Anyway, my wife hotboxed me, so it's like the Amazon jungle up in here right now, man. Okay. Well, you can switch to a tank top? We could watch it happen live. Listen, man, she's mad about something right now. I don't know what the fuck I did wrong. I don't know, man. I don't know what I did wrong.

Sometimes you never know sometimes. She's just mad. She's just mad. I don't know. I bet if you brainstormed, you could figure out what you may have done. In this moment right now, I can't figure it out. In other moments, I've been able to put it all together and be like, oh, I bet it's because of this. That's the worst when you can't figure it out.

You're like, what did I do? Dude, I have no idea. I've been good to the kids. I fed them. You fed them. I ran them. I've done all of that stuff. I just don't know.

Well, listen, I think we were really good on The View. It was hard because there was a big delay. Yes. And more so than normal Zoom, it was like a second or two delay. So it's always tricky to be funny when you're stepping all over each other. Well, I will say this. My mother, who does not listen to our podcast, watched The View.

She does watch The View. She said we are great together. She was like, I'm going to tell you something. She was like, you and Zach interview so well together, it's ridiculous. Oh, that's nice. Oh, man. Listen, we want to cheer you up.

If you're frustrated with the universe and you're frustrated like Donald is, we're here to entertain you. We're here to take your mind off things. You might be on a hike. You might be walking your dog. You might be breastfeeding. You might be doing the dishes.

You might be tugging one out. We are here to make you laugh. Donald, count us in. I'm going to say one. Can I just say one thing before we get into counting? Yeah, say one thing. If you're tugging one out while going to say, I'm going to say one. Can I just say one thing before? Yes. Say one thing. If you're tugging one out while listening to us. Yes.

Thank you. We would like you to finish as, as Donald counts down. Do it. Five, six, seven, eight. about a show we made about a bunch of doctors and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. I said here's a story that we all should know. So gather round to hear

our, gather round to hear our, but we watch a show with Zach and Donald. I'm not sure if the good people at iHeart are going to approve that. They don't give a shit about that. They're not even listening. They're not even listening.

They don't care anymore. When we first signed with iHeart, they were like, you know, you guys can just do whatever you want, and we'll give you notes and thoughts and take them or leave them. We haven't heard anything from them. I think we're doing well enough that they just let us do our thing. I love the people over at iHeart. Let's just put it out there.

Let's just put it out there now. Wherever you're listening to your podcast right now, iHeart has been so awesome to us. Yes. And Will, we got to give shout out to Will Pearson, who's the guy who we first met. And he's really come through with all his, he pretty much said you guys can do whatever you want.

And he's let us do our thing. Yeah, well, you know, he didn't promise a lot at the first meeting we had with him. But he was definitely like, this is a no-brainer, guys. Well, it is. I mean, look at this comic gold here. Plus, we met Dan and Joelle. Yeah, I know. It's serendipitous if you really want to look at it.

So I want to thank Joelle. I want to thank Dan. I want to thank Will. I want to thank all of you out there listening right now. Thank you so much. So far, this has been a blast. We're so grateful for you. Donald and I always talk about how we never thought this would be this much fun. We thought, okay, that'll be something to do. That'll be a little fun side project.

But we are having so much fun and we know that you are. We see that you're listening and please tell your friends. Now we're invested. Now we're like, let's fucking go for it. We hope one day when the world opens up that we can tour the show. We know that some podcasts come to cities all over the world and do it live. We'll do it live. And Donald and I would love to do that. We'd love to come to your city and we'll show the episode first and then we'll come out and we'll do this exact show with Q&As and audience participation. We'll bring Dan and Joelle, of course. Maybe we'll have a tour bus, Donald. We'll get to finally live that tour bus

life we've always dreamed about. I would love to have a tour bus. With Joelle and Dan on the bus? Well, they'd get to come inside from the bus. No, I want them to. You know how your band always travels in the bus? We'd be a four-person band. Oh, my gosh. We'd be a four-person band. I come with a couple of groupies, though.

I got a couple of groupies. No, you're not rolling with your kids and your wife. I can't tour with my wife and kids after all of this? No, you can, but they're in a separate bus if you're going to start bringing family. Joelle and Dan and I are going to be partying in the party bus. I like that. And you and your family can be in the family bus. I'm going to be on the party bus.

I want to shout out some exciting, just to remind some of you, Donald mentioned this, but we have coming up Krista Miller. We have Sarah Chalk coming back on the show. We have Scott Foley coming on the show. Yeah. We're hoping to get Neil Flynn. We have Scott Foley coming on the show. Yeah. We're hoping to get Neil Flynn. We're still working his dates out with him. We have Shea Serrano, who is an amazing writer who wrote

his own self-published book about Scrubs. He's an amazing bestseller. He's the first, he will be the first official Scrubs mega-fan to be on the show. Well, we have mega fans call in. No, I'm saying as a guest.

No doubt, no doubt. And then we're going to get Brendan Fraser on episode 123, My Hero. And then we're going to close out season one with Bill Lawrence and Krista Miller on at the same time. Hopefully they'll bicker and it will be hilarious. I just, I hope they argue. I'm not going to lie. They will argue. You know, they always go on Howard Stern together and they bicker and tell dirty stories from

their marriage and it'll be great. Bill and Krista have dirty stories? Oh yeah. I think there was a story where they had sex in a bathroom at someone else's wedding. Oh my God. Bill and Krista are freaks like that? Yeah. And I hope they're not Krista freaks like that. Yeah. And I hope they're not just sharing that naughty stuff for Howard Stern.

I hope they're going to, they better not come on here and be too PG. You know, people go on Howard and myself included, and you want to be like, Oh, I'm going to tell my most outrageous tales. Well,

I hope they come on and talk about banging in a bathroom at someone's wedding. I can't get over that. Oh my gosh. Also, uh, for those who are tugging, you're welcome. You should be done tugging by now, please.

The show has started. You were supposed to be done by 5, 6, 7, 8. Do you want to get into the show or do you want to talk some more? I'm having so much fun talking to you, but we can start the show. It's an odd show. I'm not going to say it's one of my favorites. Okay. Okay?

I know that's crazy talk, but it's not. It's not one of the best. Okay. There's a couple of cool things in it. Mm-hmm. The show begins with an epic oner. This is the oner that we talked about a couple of times on the podcast. Now, just to reiterate for those of you who are like, what the fuck's a oner?

I know some of you know the film jargon, but for those of you who don't, what the fuck's a oner? I know some of you know the film jargon. But for those of you who don't, a oner is where the camera never cuts. That is to say there are no edits. The whole thing is filmed. And the camera is mounted to Charles Pappard, all balls and no shaft. All balls and no shaft. Charles Pappard, all balls and no shaft. And Charles Pappard, all balls and no shaft, slid into my DMs in those shaft slid into my dms by the way

and said that he should uh come on the podcast i'd love that oh that would be so awesome yeah i think we should have him on as soon as he wanted to come on for well we're kind of full as i just told the audience we got a full plate but maybe for season two we have absolutely man he should totally be on uh the show it would have been smart for us to have him on this episode because there's this epic steadicam one-er that opens the whole show but um he did first of all charles papert isn't a very big man and he's one of in my opinion uh he's a great steadicam operator he's a great camera operator but he he's a great steady cam operator also. Yes.

And I remember this being very taxing on his body. One, because I missed the jump shot so many times. Bill, here's an opportunity for you to clown me. Oh, you're already getting in here. Here we go. How many times did I miss that jump shot? Look, I don't want to um exaggerate it at all but i would have to say that donald missed that shot that jump shot at the beginning of that um long one or take i want to say he missed it at

least 70 times in a row but to uh um donald could play ball He actually played my basketball game a bunch, but I do want it now committed to public record. Donald's older brother data is much, much, much better at basketball than Donald is. And Donald has to live with that. I mean, his older brother can ball.

The guy's a rockstar on the court. So Joelle is going to put it on our show notes and you can click the link to the video. And I believe it's a, it's a behind the scenes of doing this epic water. And and you can see how many times donald misses the jump shot anyway so we do that we finally hit it and there are a couple of times where charles uh didn't do something right and we had to go back to the beginning again uh but anyway while watching this episode and watching this infamous one-er, as we get closer to the end, if you notice, our energy just keeps picking up.

Yeah. We start getting more and more excited. Yeah. If you look at Sarah, really the person to watch is Sarah because Sarah is going nuts inside. Like you can see her like, we're going to do it. We're going to do it. You know what I mean? You're right. As you can see her like yeah we're gonna do it we're gonna do it you know you can see you're right as you can see when you watch the shot there's so many moving pieces there's a

lot of background there's there's us there's donald hitting the jump shot then we get on then we go in the hospital we get on a working elevator we actually got in the elevator do you recall the person that was working the elevator for us i wrote it down down. Norm. Norm! That's right! Norm was sort of an all-around utility guy on the scrub set. He would work the air conditioning tubes, move them around, and he dressed up because we needed someone to actually operate the elevator. So we get in the elevator with Kelso, and we come out, we strut down the hallway, we go into the ICU, the camera whip hands to Johnny C, still without having cut, it comes back to us.

And then we come around the corner, and we were joined by Carla. And then it whips around again, and we see all the new med students. So that took, I think we rehearsed probably a full half day, maybe? Yeah, it took a while just to set the shot up. I remember that. And then to get, I remember we were supposed to get the shot done before lunch, and we did. And then, but like by the skin of our teeth, if I'm correct. I'm not exactly sure.

But I know that there were so many, other than me missing the jump shot, there were so many things that were involved that had to go right for it to work. And sometimes it didn't work. And with Donald, I agree with you. What you're saying is, so by the time we made it to the second floor and the hard part was over, we did Donald's jump shot and we did the choreography of the elevator. And then we were strutting.

All three of us were like, oh, shit, we're making it. We're going to make it to the end on this one. And you can see it. Sarah is the most excited, you can tell. So when I go, give me some hungry chicken and you guys are eating, watch her. She's like, she uses both hands. It was originally supposed to be one hand.

She's using both hands and she's pounding my hand. And that's why I said to you, you're not hungry enough. You were getting cocky too. You made it to the end. You started improv and you're like, you're not hungry enough. You were getting cocky too. You made it to the end. You started improv and you're like, yeah, absolutely. That was improv. Absolutely. That's cute.

Well, I got to tell you, that was, uh, it was really cool. And, um, I wanted to say that if you're looking for, there's a lot of famous oners. You can, you can, you can Google it on, online and find some in, in some of your favorite movies. But one of my favorites is in Goodfellas. If you remember that iconic shot that goes down into the restaurant when, when he's bringing her on his, on the first date and through the kitchen and up into the restaurant.

And I, and they're just really fun filmmakers and actors love them because it's, it's so challenging to pull it off well. And I think this was the biggest one we did in, in all of Scrubs. Yeah. One of my favorite movies is Swingers, and they talk about, you know, slow motion shots and oners.

And yeah, I think Scorsese's Goodfellas oner is probably one of the best oners in the history of movie making. Yeah, and it's just, I think it introduced me as a young film student to how cool they could be. Oh, man. There's an epic one in Orson Welles' film, Touch of Evil, that opens the film as well. You know, there's dozens of them.

So this was our homage. The Nutty Professor has one, and not the one with Eddie Murphy, the one with Jerry Lewis. Oh, really? Before he walks into the club as Buddy Love lewis where he's before he walks into the club as buddy love you know he's walking down the street and people are stopping and looking at him like you know and you're not expect you don't know what to expect when you see him

you're thinking that the nutty professor is you know it's a jekyll and hyde story and his mr hyde is like this grotesque thing and when he walks into the bar and finally you get to see what he looks like, the reaction from everybody, it makes sense. But it's like, wait, hold up. Y'all were acting like this was the scariest dude on the planet. And really, it's just Buddy Love walking. Have you ever seen The Nutty Professor? No, I've never seen The Nutty Professor.

Oh, my God. Listen, let me tell you right now. Jerry Lewis in that movie, I know he said The Night Oh my god, listen, let me tell you right now Jerry Lewis in that movie I know he said some questionable things on television and stuff like that, but you want to talk about switching it up

when he plays the nerd and then he plays Buddy Love I gotta watch it Some of the monologues in that movie are amazing He says some of the most amazing He in that movie are amazing. He says some of the most amazing. He is a true pimp in all sense of the word in this movie. All respect. All respect to him in this movie.

What's his name? Buddy Love? Buddy Love. If you ever get the opportunity. Yeah, I'm going to check it out. Not to mention, now there's been some famous Warner movies, including Birdman. And what was the one that just came out that everybody loved so much?

1917. But that's CG too, though, isn't it? No, they didn't do a Warner movie. They hid a bunch of cuts. But they're still doing like eight-minute scenes with 500 extras and incredible stuff. Things exploding. If you are,

if you are a film geek, like I am, go, go watch a behind the scenes of 1917 and you'll see just some extraordinary filmmaking. Anyway. So we just wrote that down, dude.

1917 need to watch. Yeah. Go watch behind. You've never seen the film. I have yet to see the film. Oh, the film's beautiful, but more,

but I was told I needed to watch it. I was told I needed to see it in a theater because of the scope. Yeah, but now you can't. But I saw a screener because we got it for awards season, and I thought it was so beautiful. I went to the theater. I said, I got to see this. I went and saw it at the Dome here in Hollywood. We have a big Dome theater, and it was just gorgeous and amazing acting by everybody involved, and it's beautiful. Great amazing acting by everybody involved. And it's beautiful. Great directing, too, I heard.

Yes. Yes, sir. At 132, we start strutting. I mean, we are strutting. Yeah. That's like a George Jefferson strut. It's like, yeah, it's like the straight up, well, we're moving on up. Yeah.

Strut. We were very serious. Look, I'm trying to tell you man we were so excited we were excited excited and then hungry chicken on scrubs wiki i was pointed out that at 152 you can see my mic cable um now now now nowadays we would just you know visual effects are so much easier you would just paint something like that out. They just go in like Photoshop, but moving video and just paint a little mic cable out. But back in the day,

we certainly weren't going to scrap finally making it through because you saw a little mic cable. But you'll see, I gently lift up my shirt a little bit and you can see where the hidden mic cable is on me. So there you go.

The little Scrubs Wiki guy coming through. Is this the first appearance of the Hungry Chicken at 2.15? I think this is the only appearance of the Hungry Chicken. No, no. Yeah. When did we do it again? I feel like Hungry Chicken has been in other episodes. Hey, Joelle, have we set it up with our Scrubs Wiki guy

to answer questions? Did we ask him if he might be down for that? Yes, he's very down to do anything for this show. We're planning to have him on as our fan caller, not this week, but next week. And then, yeah, we can ask him questions. All right, well, let's audition him now. Let's audition him.

What's his name, by the way, Joelle? I just call him Scrubs Wiki. What's his name? I would have to look it up. Okay, we're going to look it up. Okay, so as of right now, he's Scrubs Wiki. Okay, Scrubs Wiki, thank you for all your hard work. Is this the only time that the hungry chicken ever appears in nine seasons of Scrubs?

And if not, when does it appear in other episodes? Yo, Trevor from Scrubs Wiki here. According to our records, the episode My Student is the only appearance of hungry chicken. Donald, at 3.14, you say something like, what is this thing we're doing? Baby, girl. So do you, okay, so. I know we had a lot of songs,

but this has no explanation. You don't remember the song? I do, but I don't, I vaguely. But before you go into the song, there's no context for it in the episode at all. No, there isn't. But this was you and I arguing about r&b music right and you were like dude all it is is dudes and girl a dude saying baby girl sugar darling baby

baby girl my lover girl mating girl right and so when you said that, I remember laughing so hard because pretty much every song that's R&B, keep it 100, y'all, baby, girl. You're going to hear the word baby, definitely. You're definitely hearing baby. If it's a male artist, you're most likely hearing girl. Yeah, definitely. Well, Donald, at the time, you're most likely hearing girl. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Well, Donald, at the time, you were listening to a lot of those kind of songs.

I still do. I still do. Trey songs. I still listen to all of that stuff. I love them to death. Listen, we had some great guest casts. We had DJ Qualls. Remember him from, well, the most famously, Road Trip.

Yes. He was from Road Trip, yes. At the time, that was the most famous thing he had done. One of my best friends on the planet, Breckin Meyer, in that movie as well. I remember DJ Qualls told me a story when we were shooting this episode that he had made a bunch of money, and he was working a lot,

and he walked, and he doesn't do credit cards at all. He wanted to just pay cash, didn't mess with credit cards. And he walked into a BMW dealership to buy a fancy car. And he couldn't, you know, a lanky young kid like him, he couldn't get anyone's attention. They just totally ignored him. And he was really, it was like totally the pretty woman moment where he was like, you know, what the hell.

You work on commission? Yeah. And he walked across the street to the Mercedes dealership where someone finally gave him attention, and he bought a Mercedes with cash. Wow. Wow. He had it like that. He got it like that? Yeah.

He had the money like that, and he was like, and he just remembered, he was telling me the story of his pretty woman moment where, like, no salesman was even talking to him. And he was like, fuck these people. And he walked just across the street and bought from a competitive dealership in cash. Adrian Wenner played Sarah's med student. He's a Northwestern grad, so we know that he's a good actor. And I thought he did a great job. He did such a great job.

I remember I looked at this. I didn't remember, you know, it's me. So I didn't remember the episode. But I thought our guest stars were so good in this episode. In particular, I have to say Kelly Williams, who played Johnny C's love interest and was part of your story. Absolutely. She was great. What show was she on at the time, Joelle?

Do you know? I was looking up. She's been on all sorts of stuff since because I was kind of curious what she's been up to, and I was IMDb-ing her, but she's been working nonstop. Well, yeah, but she was on a show, I think, at the time, and it was a great pull. I don't know. You might be confusing her with a different guest star.

But in any event, she was very good, and she and Johnny were good together. Can we talk about Turk as a wingman? Yeah. Turk is the best wingman ever. Yeah. He did a good job. Oh, it's official.

It's official. You really didn't want to do it until he was like, you idiot. I'm obsessed with your girlfriend. Help set me up with someone else. Right. Well, right. That was the thing. I think Turk really enjoyed the fact that Dr. Cox, that Perry Cox in love with carla and couldn't have carla you know

what i mean i think he loved the fact that i have something on you that you will never get and then when he threatens him and says you know i'll be sitting here waiting turk knows i'm gonna fuck up eventually and when i fuck up this dude's gonna pounce so you don't want this guy in the wings right you know when you're dating you know when you're dating someone, and this is more back in the day. It's not really like. Oh, dude, I got a great story for that, dude. No, but the dude, the friend who's in the wings, like, oh, he's just sitting there just waiting for you to fuck up. My friend, my friend, my friend.

I dated someone. My friend, my friend, my friend. I dated someone, and when we broke up, I remember her calling me like, dude, you'd be surprised at all of these guys that, you know, were so tight with us as a group. Like, you'd hang out with them? She's like, you'd be surprised of who's hitting me up? I'd be like, I don't want to know, man. It's, you know, we're no longer together, do you? But holy but holy shit yeah but you still got mad about that's so sketchy the dudes in the wings like oh y'all broke up right it's like uh better off dead i heard you broke up with beth yeah if i give her a call yeah that's a great movie too that shit is great when barney he's

watching the flintstones and Barney's like, Hey Lloyd, I hope you, I heard you broke up with Beth. Can I ask her out? That movie's amazing. Better off dead. Check it out.

Better off dead. John Cusack. What about at five 11? When, uh, when, when Kelly's character says to Todd that he is a lap pinky. I've never heard the term lap pinky before.

What is a lap pinky? A tiny penis. Oh, right when she calls him that. All the machismo. She uses the word machismo. You said you hadn't heard that word before. She uses it in the show. I've heard machismo.

I said it in something and you were like, wow, Donald with the machismo. Kelly was on the practice. You were right about that. Thank you, Joelle. I told you. Yeah. She's a very good actress, and I thought she did a great job.

Lap pinky. I think we got to put that into our lexicon, because that's a nice term for having a small penis. A lap pinky? Yeah. I just don't, I don't, I don't get it, but I get it. It's a pinky in your lap. In your lap.

Now you get it. I totally get it now. Oh, pinky in your lap. In your lap. Now you get it. I totally get it now. Oh, it took you a second. It took me a second. I was off a little bit. Maybe it's the scotch. Anyway, lap pinky. Yeah.

Don't come around here with that lap pinky. I don't got a lap pinky. We know. We know. We know. You have a lap baby forearm. On that note, we're going to go to break. We'll be right back.

I know.

I know I'm getting a lot of notes from my girlfriend's mom about our willies. Oh, man. She calls it the eel cast. The eel cast. All right, dude, you turned into the fucking Hulk, yo. You turned into the Hulk. You know, I was so happy that Joelle wrote in her notes,

was that really you, Zach, when you turned into the Hulk? Joelle, that is a giant stuntman with much bigger muscles than I could ever grow. I just love the fact that this is before all of the Avenger movies have come out and everything, like all the Marvel stuff. And you turned into the Hulk back in the old days. Yeah, like the cheesy, incredible Hulk. I don't call it cheesy.

That show is amazing. Come on, buddy. You didn't watch that show when you were a kid? Everybody watched the Hulk, but come cheesy Incredible Hulk. I don't call it cheesy. That show is amazing. Come on, buddy. You didn't watch that show when you were a kid? Everybody watched the Hulk, but come on, buddy. Like, when you look at the Hulk now compared to the Hulk in the TV show. Of course, but you're not putting it in the context, dude. When we were kids, A-Team, Hulk. Yeah, all of those shows, man.

No, Six Million Dollar Man. Remember that shit? Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Yeah, but when you look at at least the motherfucker jumped over shit in the six million dollar man and could see remember that noise dan can you put in that that noise of when the six million dollar man would jump i love that show i did too the six million dollar man we can rebuild him we can fix him we can by the way now nowadays it would be like the $1 billion man. We have the technology.

We can rebuild him. He only cost $6 million to become a robot man. To become a freaking cyborg. How come no one's remade that? We should remake the $6 million man but as two friends. Oh my god!

That would be hilarious! The bionic man and the bionic woman. Oh my gosh! No, we both get special powers. No, no, no. One of us gets special powers. The other one is the freaking dude on the computer. Oh, but I know which one of us is going to want to be the dude on the computer.

I guess you have a short... You will, Mike, because you go home to your kids. You'll work like an hour a day. An hour a day. You'll be in the set. What do I got to do? What do I got to do? Your character will be on the set at the computer being like i'm enhancing the picture i'm moving in yeah

he's got a bomb in his left pocket and then you just go home one day work one day of work and then i'm out there fucking 16 hours a day doing fucking leaps over buildings love it i think this is a great idea i think this is a show we should make all right well if you're a producer out there in hollywood and you want to make a six million million man TV show with Donald and I, we're ready. No, not a TV show. A movie. The movie. No, I think it should be streaming on Netflix.

Oh, my gosh. And it should just be like super silly. Like the powers they gave me only work sometimes. Do you remember The Greatest American Hero? My powers are faulty? Yeah, I heard they were remaking that, of course. I don't know what happened with it, but I heard they were remaking that. Greatest theme song ever.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free. Flying away on a wind and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. Da, da, da, da, da.'s just da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

Now you're trying to say that show doesn't hold up anymore? That was magic. It really does not hold up anymore. If you watch that show, you'll be like, oh my gosh. What about A-Team? I mean... No one ever got shot. They're all firing AK-47s at each other and no one ever gets hurt. That's one thing we can say about our show.

At least people died on our show, man. When they would do the... And then they'd do the sequence where they built shit, and I would be like, oh, what are they building? What are they building? What's B? Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, him. Yeah. Hannibal, I ain't getting on no plane. You know what's so funny about that? It's so fucked up. They would drug his ass so that he could fly. Yeah, and he fell for it every time.

Every time. They'd be like, here, sip this, Mr. T. Right. What is in this strange concoction? What did you put in my banana? I'm going to eat a banana right now. I hate you, Hannibal. Damn you, Hannibal. Hannibal.

You put that secret flying juice on my banana. But you turned into the Incredible Hulk, dude. Oh, man. I'm sad to say. You know, Marvel, all those Marvel movies you love, they fucked up our childhood classics. Like, now everyone looks at the Hulk TV show, and they say, that sucks.

I thought it was a masterpiece. Okay, you should go back and watch it. I know, I probably should try. Aloma. Aloma, very funny. So you turn into the Hulk, and then Aloma, you're like, you say to her, you say to her something like, he was horrible.

You know, I'm sorry. And she goes, you don't got to apologize to me, but you will have to apologize to me. But you will have to apologize to Jesus. Yeah, hilarious. Whenever Loma did her church-going woman preachy stuff, she was so funny. Always. Always.

She's one of those people that just could sell the shit out of any line. That was hilarious. You will have to apologize to Jesus. If you watch this episode, every one of her lines is a punchline. You know what I mean? Yeah, and they're always drive-bys. She's always walking by. Every one of them, yeah, and she crushes it every time. And what about you pulling out your...

We need to get her on the show. Oh, we should. We're a little bit full up with guests, but season two, Aloma Wright. Okay, here we go. Joel, put it in the notes, please. You pull out your booty at 1248. I do. And it's to show.

What? What is it to show? It's to show you what they love. You know what I'm saying? So what you're saying and what Turk and you are both saying is when all else fails, you just do the slow sag down and the woman see your juicy shelf butt. Yes. And they're sold.

They're sold. I'm going to tell you something right now. Yeah. Women aren't the only ones that can have a nice booty. Okay. Right. Yeah. Go ahead.

That's for real, for real. So are you feeling yourself when it comes to booty? When you're in the mirror and you check yourself out, are you like, look at my ass? No, it's a different ass now. It's got a lot of wrinkles and cellulite on it now. Is it saggy? Maybe you should do some squats.

I squat a lot. It doesn't look like it did when I was 26 when we made this show. You could do lunges. You could do lunges. I do all of that, Zach. There's no reason why a 46-year-old man can't have a tight ass. I'm going to explain something to you right now. Don't blame it on your age.

Joelle's falling off her chair. That is not an excuse for you, man. You could do lunges. I'm going to explain something to you right now. With age comes sag. And you can work out as much as you want. Look at Johnny C. the other day on Zoom. You don't think Johnny C. got a little bit of sag in him?

No. I'll bet you he's tight as fucking hell. As mutton? It looks like mutton? You could bounce a quarter off his abs. Yeah, mutton. I think that was my joke. It's firm like mutton?

That was your joke? Yeah, that was me. I don't even know if mutton's firm. It just sounded funny. I think mutton is supposed to be very tender. What is mutton? It's lamb? Yeah, it's lamb. I think itton is like supposed to be like very tender. What is mutton? It's lamb? Yeah, it's lamb.

I think it's supposed to be very, very tender when you eat it. It's tender. Yeah. But to go, it's firm like mutton. It just sounded funny.

I think I stole it from Princess Bride because when the mutton is lean, you remember that? Billy Crystal. Billy Crystal. Except for like a mutton lettuce

and tomato sandwich. When the mutton is lean. Do you remember meeting Billy Crystal? Yeah. Where? In Hawaii? We were on a plane. Oh where? And we were traveling. It was me, you, Case. I don't know where we were going but we were on a plane and we sat with Billy Crystal

the whole trip. And then we saw him at the hotel too. Did we bother him? I think it was Hawaii. It was Hawaii, no? It had to be Hawaii. And we were all, he was just as much into us as we were into him. He was very much into you and you were very much into him.

Yeah, he was very complimentary of me. And that made me feel good because I love him and I grew up on him like we all did. And yeah, Mutton from Princess Bride. Mutton from Princess Bride. When the mutton is, have fun, have fun storming the castle. Have fun storming the castle, yeah. You think it'll work? It would take a miracle.

Right. He said, to Blade, which we all know is. True love. Liar! Great movie. Speaking of crushes, Robin Wright in that movie was just about the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Yes.

I love that movie. That's one of my favorites. I used to watch that movie all the time. I remember introducing it to my friends in the neighborhood who didn't see the movie and being like you guys haven't seen the princess bride i remember having a movie night at my house just so my friends who had never been introduced to the princess bride could watch the princess bride and we watched it on uh vhs obviously in my room and i remember getting just such joy out of

watching my friends laugh so hard at something that was like, it wasn't something that they would have gone to see normally. Right. Did you think you did that more often because you were dialed into all the theater world? Were there other times where you were introducing your friend group to movies they might not have seen? Yeah, that happened a lot, actually. You know, some of the movies, you know, I grew up with a bunch of people who loved movies, though, too. So some of the movies that I was introduced to at a young age, like a lot of the horror movies and stuff, I had a lot of friends who loved horror movies growing up, and I have an appreciation for them. I don't watch them, but things like A Nightmare on Elm Street, I would have never seen if it wasn't for Jessica Ricardo. You know what I mean? And you know Jessica.

You've met her a couple of times. If it wasn't for her, a lot of the horror movies that I watch now, well, I don't watch them, but that I watched as a youth, I would have never seen them. And I would have never known about that genre like the way I know it now. And I was thinking just randomly my father back when before the i was introduced to the world of independent cinema i didn't know that there were movies that didn't come to every theater and a movie came out called the gods must be crazy masterpiece and this did not come to you know south orange new jersey and my father said we're

going to go into new york to see a movie and i said, we're going to go into New York to see a movie. And I was like, why are we going to New York to see a movie? And he said, well, not all movies come to our town. And there's a movie that everyone's talking about. We're going to go see. So he took me to a little independent cinema in Manhattan. And we saw that movie, which I believe was a South African movie. Where the Coke bottle falls from the sky.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was one of the funniest most brilliant movies I'd ever seen and it's still a really good memory of my father introducing me to an early version of independent cinema did you ever see A Brother From Another Planet?

The Brother From Another Planet? if you ever get a chance go see that one we're giving our listeners quite a good list of movies this podcast. There are some good ones out there, guys. Listen, if you get a chance, go see Brother from Another Planet. It stars Joe Morton, okay? And he literally is a brother from another planet,

the brother from another planet. And I remember one scene when I was a kid. So before Harlem was gentrified, which is very much now, you know, every, all the white people used to get off at 96th street. If you were on the train, right?

No matter what line you were on, if there was a 96th street stop, all the white people would get off because after that you were in Harlem, right? So there's this dude on the train. Time to get off. Right. So there's this dude on the train doing like tricks or something like that,

doing magic. And the brother from another planet, he doesn't speak that much. You know, he doesn't speak English or anything like that. You know, when people ask him where he came from, he just points to the sky. And so the dude's trying to do all these tricks and the brother's just not feeling it. And then finally he goes, you know, you hear the conductor say, next stop, 96th Street. And the white guy says to the brother he goes you want to see me make all the white people disappear and everyone gets off at 90s all the white people get

off at 96th street and i remember as a kid i used to i remember getting on the train and getting i was very young when the movie came out and at 96th street if you were going downtown, all the white people got on at 96th Street. If you were going uptown, all the white people got off at 96th Street. I remember this very much as a youth, man. Wow. So crazy. That's funny. Great joke.

I got to see it. You've just sold it to me, Donald. I'm watching it. If you get a chance, Joe Morton, brother from another planet. I was laughing at 1350 in the fantasy where I'm teaching DJ Qualls to ride a bike because I was laughing going, I'm spoofing me at the age I am now. Right.

Right? That character I'm playing is probably like a 45-year-old dad. Like, you got this. Right. Pushing his kid along. It also goes back to now you're Dr. Cox. And it goes to the grainy shot of you teaching the kid how to ride a bike

where he's teaching you how to throw a baseball. Didn't we do that one? You know what I mean? Early on. It's full circle. I'm trying to be Cox. I summon my inner Dr. Cox in this episode so much so that we mirror the pilot where DJ's character finally has a moment of success.

And I go, I cheer him on. And then he leaves. And then Judy says, go ahead. And I put my arms up in celebration just like the pilot. Right. And then you're like, can you fix that for me while I'm gone? Yeah, that's funny. I gave him a pep talk and then he still fucked it up.

He never comes back back that's what's crazy he never came back after this episode well none of them do other than um other than um the love interest then kelly the love interest uh none of these characters came back yeah i think dj qualls at the at the time you know his career was on fire and he was just kind of coming by to do a quick guest star role yeah um then you convinced johnny c to show his ass right and um john c has a nice ass i'm not gonna lie but it just didn't fit the character so you like johnny c's ass though it's not that i like johnny c's ass it's just that you know when you work out that much right i mean you could bounce a you could that john c used to say that shit you could bounce a quarter just that, you know, when you work out that much, I mean, you could bounce a... John C used to say that shit. You could bounce a quarter

off his ass. You know that Johnny C's not the kind of guy who skips leg and ass day. Hell no, you know he doesn't. You know for a fact he doesn't. Look, man, when I started getting serious about working out, I remember getting a text or call from Johnny C.

I was doing the Santa Monica stairs. And I guess he drove by because Santa Monica and Malibu are very close to each other. And I remember getting the call, Donald, have you taken your workout to the next level? Did I just drive by the Santa Monica stairs and see you going up the Santa Monica stairs. I'm very proud of you, Donald. I'm very, very proud of you. You got to work the legs. You got to work the legs. Well, Johnny C told me that he listens to our podcast as he's working out Tuesday and Thursday morning. So Johnny, if you're listening to this, don't skip those squats, buddy. Keep that. No, he doesn't you know keep that ass firm johnny do a couple more reps you could bounce a quarter off of it yeah can you still bounce a quarter

johnny or is it now just a penny solely a penny will bounce um also clueless when i saw the pants drop i thought clueless right away now What is it with the pants load thing? Okay, so this is where it's a cultural thing. So in prison, they don't give you a belt. They don't give you shoelaces because they're afraid that people will hang themselves in their cells and stuff like that or use it as a weapon. Right? So you have a bunch of people in prison walking around with their pants sagging and their shoes not necessarily, you know, flipping, flip-flopping off their feet. Oh, okay. I never knew that.

So when we did Clueless, this had become a fashion statement in the inner city. So like a lot of youth in the inner city were wearing their pants sagging, just copying what they saw from the OGs. You know what I mean? Right, right, right. And so this became a thing. And Turd did it. Yeah, I think the fad's gone away, right? Or no?

Do you still see people doing it? Well, I'm an adult now. I still see it. I'm an adult now. I'm a grown man now. So I prefer if you were to pick, I don't want to see your underwear. But when I was a youth i was

like oh shit this you know this is i did it all the time so i know from an adult point of view though it's a pretty ridiculous style absolutely but you have to be an adult to be like i don't like that style of course as a kid you're like look at all the ogs did it you know what i mean then there was somebody came to me like you did it of course and i'm sure that i subscribe to some style that i would think is ridiculous now very low v-necks dude i've seen you with your pants sagging low too so you can't not like your character did in the show dude well no not like that but i've seen but i had some embarrassingly low v-necks did you really yeah i went through a low V-neck phase. You like a V-neck?

Well, now you can't because there's certain things that I used to do. Cargo shorts, I guess, are done. My girlfriend said, no way, can I wear those cargo shorts? You know when I wear cargo shorts? When I go to play golf. That's it. I think most women, and Joelle, if you wouldn't mind speaking on behalf of all women in the world, are pretty over cargo shorts.

They're not attractive on anybody. Giant, saggy leg face. This is when you knew cargo shorts was a wrap. When Adam Sandler stopped wearing cargo shorts, you knew, okay, I guess cargo shorts is over. Well, it's funny. For years, it was like, I don't know if the Grip and Electric guys are still wearing them, but that was the go-to uniform was cargo shorts. Right. Even in freezing weather.

Yeah. And I had a bunch of them. And I recently tried to pull out a bunch and showed Flo, and she said, you have to take those off immediately. Yeah, I agree. So they're done. But I can't throw them away. I feel...

Do you have stuff in your closet you cannot wear anymore? Well, obviously, we're looking at your closet. But you cannot wear anymore. You're like, I can't wear those anymore. But you just can't throw them away.

You have nostalgia for them. They might come back, too. Yeah, and I'll be fucking locked and loaded when cargo shorts come back. All right. Do we need to take a break, Joel, or what? We're going to take a break. And when we come back,

we're going to have a fan caller. Enjoy these beautiful words. Every weekday, we're bringing you conversations about culture, the latest trends, inspiration, and so much more.

And it would crack her up. And no one could hear it. Like the director or the producer or Randall, no one could hear that we were doing it. And she'd be like, stop doing that. And she'd be cracking up. She's like, what are you talking about? And we'd be like, Sarah, everyone's tired. They want to go home.

Oh, yeah. Next week, we got Sarah Chalk, the legendary Canadian. All right, BJ Mendelsohn. OK, before we get into BJ Mendelsohn, I'm just going to say this out loud. A lot of people are getting pissed off at my Oprah shit. Why? Because some people are mad that I'm saying, doing the Oprah stuff.

No, fuck that. You're reading too many comments, dude. I know. I told you in the beginning of the show, you got to stay away from the comments. You're doing too deep a dive. You're doing too deep a dive. I engage with a little, I engage a little, beginning of the show, you got to stay away from, you're doing too deep a dive. You're doing too deep a dive. I engage with a little love.

I engage a little, especially with the nice people. And then you just dismount. You're like, you're like getting in your head. Oh, your Oprah voice is one of the reasons I come to work every day. Well, in that case, give it up for BJ Mendelsohn. Hey, how you doing brother? Hi BJ, how are you? I didn't know this was going to be like a video thing. So I'm, brother? Hi, BJ. How are you? I didn't know this was going to be like a video thing, so I'm like wearing my trashy

shirt. You look great. Things are good. We're going to apologize to our listeners that BJ doesn't have the ideal setup because he has a microphone that's a little wacky, but we're going to fix it in post. Are you a gamer? I am. That's what that did.

What do you play? What do you play, BJ? COD. I'm embarrassed to say Fortnite. Don't be embarrassed. I can tell you it was my nieces and nephew that got me into it. Let me ask you a question. Do you default dance?

I do. Okay. Do you use Donald's dance? That's the default dance. Oh do. Okay. Do you use Donald's dance? That's the default dance, buddy. Okay, sorry. Now, why are you embarrassed, PJ? I don't really know much about gaming these days. Is Fortnite just meant for children? No!

Then why is he embarrassed about it? Because I've made a big stink about how much I do not like Fortnite because they stole my dance. But I don't give a shit, to be honest with you. I'm very, very, very happy that they stole my dance. I think you were misquoted when you caused a little controversy. You were sort of joking, and then there were people who were like,

if they take off that dance because of you, fuck you. No. Dude, I've never had more 12-year year old boys mad at me in my life yeah dude well you threatened to take away their dance i didn't threaten all i did was said all i did was say you know they jacked it and then out of nowhere like it was a bunch of kids like fuck you you has been it's because nobody watches your shit anymore you suck anyway it's because you what you didn't get any money It's because you didn't get any money making scrubs. You didn't get any money making scrubs.

Wow, they got all riled up because you made a joke about the Fortnite dance. And I'm fine with that. You know what I mean? And I'm fine with it being the default dance. What are the other dances that BJ could use? Well, there's the Backpack Kid's one where it's like- Oh yeah, Backpack Kid.

I need to pay more money for that? I don't know. I don't know if that's something you unlock or not. I'm still new to it. I am still brand new to this thing. As long as you do the Turk dance, it's all good. Yeah, I do. How can I not?

Do you find yourself, DJ, in Fortnite, do you talk to other people? No, I try not to. That was my big thing was I'm kind of just you know i'm an author so uh i don't socialize well with others so uh playing like these online games where people are talking shit to you is like a new experience for me especially when you're 37 and have never played these things in your life so do you and you choose to not engage with angry 12 year olds i try not to okay it's probably a good probably good i think i would get upset i think personally if i did it if somebody was like fuck your mother and i was like whoa whoa whoa i'm

just trying to fucking save the world here everybody calm down exactly worst thing in the world to hear a kid yelling at your trash pvp me pvp me pvp me what does that mean, PvP me? Like, play me versus just you and me one-on-one. Okay. Player versus player. BJ, do you play any other games besides Fortnite, or is this your... Right now, it's Final Fantasy VII. Oh, good. Oh, you're a role player.

Hold on. Did you play Dungeons & Dragons growing up? No, I was in Magic the Gathering, kid. Same shit. Same shit. Yeah, it is. It's true. That's cards, though, right? Yeah, that was in Magic the Gathering, kid. Same shit. Same shit. Yeah, it is. It's true.

That's cards, though, right? Yeah, that was the big difference. I got very addicted to the Star Wars role-playing game, Don. What was that one you played? Oh, I remember that. Yeah, it was the Star Wars game. I don't remember what it was called, but there were a bunch of different ones. I even DM'd it. Oh, my God.

Jedi Fallen Order, Donald? No, no, no. Jedi Fallen Order is a video game. We used to play it like it was Dungeons and Dragons. No, no, no. That's not what I mean. Okay, but I'm talking about in our adulthood, during the time of Scrubs, you were playing a Star Wars... Oh, Star Wars Galaxies.

Yeah. Star Wars Galaxies. When that came out, I remember that game. I wish they didn't cancel it because look it started off just as a role-playing game that you would play on different planets and then they introduced uh being able to fly in ships right and i remember at one point i got to talk to one of the head developers of the game and And I was like, you should make it so that you could jump in ships on the ground and fly in atmosphere, and then from atmosphere take it to space.

And then the game freaking failed eventually. How could a Star Wars game fail? It just doesn't seem like it's possible. You know, you change it enough times and then people lose interest. You know, what happens is that it starts off and it's pure and then you start adding things. And once you start adding things, you know, people lose interest after a while, you know.

Perfect example, George Lucas with the original series, with the original trilogy, it was, you know, it was shot a certain way and he wasn't happy with it. So he started adding things. And the more he added, it seemed like the more fans were like, I don't like that.

I don't like that. You don't need to add. Now for me, I like the adding. I like that he added things because it made it cleaner and it made it faster and it made it, you know, if you

watch the original a new hope it's not as uh the special effects in it aren't as uh glorious as they are now when you watch it on disney plus that being said there are a lot of people that don't like that do not like uh him going and retouching i i for one do like the retouch i see i i think i think there are certain movies that still like people got mad when they retouched et you know what i mean i for one wasn't that mad at it i'm gonna be honest all right well we should probably ask bj some of his thoughts yeah this is a rarity i usually everyone i encounter hates the touch-ups to the original trilogy. I don't mind them at all.

The only one I freak out about is the one everyone freaks out about with Greedo shooting first. Right, that's bullshit. Come on. The rest of it, I remember getting in line at the theater when they re-released it because for me, I wasn't old enough for the original Star Wars. You're pretty close to it though, right? You said you're 37 i just yeah i just turned 37 so nine years younger

than us or so yeah so my like my first star wars is the phantom menace which is okay i'm ashamed to say that out loud dude uh you shouldn't be because the phantom menace has new energy behind it thanks to dave filoni but okay true true and plus it had the great pod racing and 64 game right which was amazing but I liked all the touch-ups at the alley because to me it was like all right it looks like everything else because when I remember watching on VHS I kind of fell asleep right because it didn't look you know when I was little it didn't look as crisp as some of the other things that I was used to seeing at that age. Right. Where do you live, BJ? I'm up in Monroe, New York, which is, if anyone knows where Woodbury Commons is, it's a large tourist trap.

And you said you're a writer? Are you a novelist? Yeah. So I'm the author of a book called Social Media is Bullshit. I wrote it in 2012. So I was a little ahead of its time. I'm happy to give it away for free. If anyone wants a

free copy all they have to do is just hit me up on twitter it's like i said it's an older book ironically they're gonna have to hit you up on social media right so that was the thing that was the thing that i got a lot when it came out was it was like oh hey well you know you've got this big presence on twitter but you wrote social media is bullshit and what i said to people was it's not the tools it's how you use it yeah And that's the part where you run into all this bullshit. BJ, I feel like you'd be a guest that we could just talk to for hours about. Yeah, as long as you guys don't go down the Star Wars route every fucking five minutes. Because I see Joelle nodding again as though she's yelling, preach, when you guys start to talk.

She's got her hand up in the air like you preach. I got to tell you, I got to tell you funny. It's it's scrubs. Yes. Yes. Please BJ. I have never felt so old. And now,

you know, knowing that you guys are older than I am, I can only imagine how you're going to feel. I was pitching this TV show and I can't, you know, can't say too much about it, but what I can say is that. Is it about the $6 million man?

Because we just pitched it live on this show, so don't steal that. All right, go ahead. No, it totally should be. It totally should be. That is due for a remake. Although with inflation, I think you might have to adjust it slightly.

Yeah, we said that. We said you wouldn't get very far with rebuilding him for $6 million. Maybe his feet. Yeah, you would get the feet. Maybe the kneecaps would just fall over a lot. But this kid, the kid that would star in a show, is only like 20, 21. And so as I was going through with him

and explaining the look and the feel, I was like, it's a lot like Scrubs season one and Scrubs season eight, where it's a little goofy, but it's also got a little bit of darkness to it. And he was humoring me. He was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I remember Scrubs. And then I got off the phone, and the producer calls me right back, and he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I remember Scrubs. And then I got off the phone and the producer calls me right back and he's like,

he has no idea what the fuck Scrubs is. Like, when Scrubs was on, he was maybe two. Is this kid a successful actor? He is a successful TikTok star. Yeah, right.

By the way, Donald, if TikTok was out when when you were young you would have been a tiktok star because we all would have been tiktok no but i can't dance like you can do those moves dude no but you would have you would have figured out a way to freaking look man you did garden state you would have figured out a way to make a fucking movie on tiktok that everybody loved even if it was like you know know, only however long TikTok allows it, you would have figured out a way. You're a very bright boy.

Thank you. You're a very bright man. Did you ever see that video of the girl on TikTok? It just like went viral. She's sobbing, but she's still doing her TikTok dance. And some comedian, I forgot, I don't know who it was, but they wrote like,

maybe wait till you're done with your breakdown until you do the dance. But she's trying to make a point that like i'm still gonna dance through this sad moment and she's doing all the choreography but she's bawling i've never seen this i'm have you got a bj have you seen that i have i gotta tell you i tried like hell to avoid tiktok and snapchat but it's the nieces and nephews you know they're that age group where that's all they're on so i don't even't even look at that shit. My daughter, that's all she watches. My daughter, not my five-year-old, but my 21-year-old just walks through the house dead.

You got to check this out. And it's nothing but TikTok shit. I know. Like, it's so much. I would get my daughter up, my five-year-old up here right now, but my 21-year-old daughter has corrupted. Kaya has corrupted Wilder so much that Wilder is now doing the savage challenge.

I'm a savage. Classy, bougie, ratchet. Doing all of that shit. Can you get her up here? We got to hear it. Hold up. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side,

Zach, I have to tell you, just real quick, the Garden State soundtrack for my college radio station was all that they would play when it came out. So I feel obligated to share that with you. Oh, thank you. While we're waiting for Donald to come back. Thank you.

Yeah, it was – Donald jokes that I won a Grammy for a mixtape, but he's right. It was just the music me and my friends were listening to, and it felt really appropriate for the, uh, for the era that the film was about. And then, uh, with the help of my editor, Myron Kirstein, um, he, he really gets all the credit for putting them in the right spots. He, I made, I just made a giant playlist and then I'd let him go attack some scenes and then he'd come back and he'd go, dude, I've just put the Paul Simon song on this moment and you got to see it. And I would watch it and get goosebumps up and down my arms like, yeah, we're never going to be able to get that song, but that's a keeper.

Oh, here she is. Oh, there's Rocco. There's Rocco. Not Wilder. Hold on. Come on, guys. All right. Wilder. Wilder, perform. Back up, back up, back up, back up.

You don't need the music. You can just do it without the music. Ready? All right, go. Five, six, seven, eight. I'm savage. Classy, woozy, ratchet. Sassy, moody, nasty.

Hacking, stupid. What's happening? What's happening? I'm a savage. Thundrous applause, Dan. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? All right.

Okay, so now I got, look, I'm going to show you who's all in here now. I got the whole family in here just to see her. Oh, everybody's here. I'm a Barbie. Okay, Rocco. Okay. Get him out. Pull him out. Back to the bouncy.

You guys wet this whole room up, huh? Back to the bouncy castle. I don't know this song, but it doesn't seem that it's necessarily appropriate for a five-year-old to sing what are the what are the lyrics 21 year old who's who's watching tiktok like 24 7 and so because of that but can you talk me through the lyrics of this this song it's it's uh meg the stallion right and she she now has a remix with her and

Beyonce. Okay. Beyonce, as Hal would say. Rest in peace, my father. And the chorus is I'm a savage. What is it? I'm a savage. Classy. Classy,

bougie, ratchet. Now, what does ratchet mean? Ratchet is like when you're like, that's ratchet. Ratchet isn't necessarily- Joelle is typing out the lyrics for you, Donald. Sassy, muddy, nasty. Moody, nasty. Acting stupid was happening.

Was happening. I don't know how i feel about my little god daughter saying sassy moddy nasty moody moody moody oh sorry well it's joelle's typo not mine i thought moddy was a new word no moody sassy moody ratchet no acting stupid was happening. Savage, classy, bougie, that shit. BJ's like, what did I get into? Oh, sorry, BJ. I just wanted to ask a question. I just wanted to ask a question.

This is exactly what I'm going through right now. So we had this song, Low Life. Olivia, she's five, is really into it. And the lyrics are probably not terribly appropriate for a five-year-old. We had to amend it and say, no, no, the song is called Low Light.

I know this whole thing very well. BJ, are there any questions you want to ask? BJ, do you have any questions? Yeah. I don't know where to start. Just to give people contact. Yeah, I know. I've got the fan going so hopefully you guys can't hear it too much. I can't feel the fan, BJ. can you turn it a little towards me so just for just for context so

going through uh so i used to be married and going through we got married just as the recession started so we didn't have a lot of stuff but we did have scrubs dvds so that was pretty much all we would watch did you give him or her when in the. Did you give him or her when the, in the breakup, did you give him or her season nine? Uh, I actually like season nine. Oh really? Donald does too. You do.

Okay. I can't tell you my, I know this is a tangent. Uh, I think you do it all the time. Okay, great. So I know this has been said elsewhere by other people.

Like had it had a different title, um, it would have been successful, but I think because it was still called different title, it would have been successful. But I think because it was still called Scrubs. It should have been called Dave Franco. Yeah, it was a little too much Dave Franco. And Donald Faison as Screech.

Right. It's very solid. The show holds up really well. Season 9 holds up, I feel, pretty well. There was probably a little too much Dave Franco for me. He was to me the more annoying character. He was meant to be. Right.

So to me, the big question I feel like is how do you think the show has held up? Because today, the episode that we were going to talk about, there's a whole sequence with Dr. Cox and the young doctor. And I feel like today, I don't know if you'd be able to do that story.

Well, yeah, you know, there are a lot of things that don't necessarily hold up with what's going on today with the show. You know, Cox calling JD a girl's name all the time might be, you know... Offensive to some. Yeah, you could catch offense to that. Zach and I had a conversation about that. We were like, you know you offensive to some yeah you could catch offense to that uh zach and i had a conversation about that we were like you know what we know where the show has its moments where

we're like oh boy but maybe you know if we're if everybody's true fans of the show and was watching it back then and doesn't have a problem with, didn't have a problem with it back then. I don't necessarily think it behooves us to continue to talk about what, you know, the past, you know, it was made at a certain time. You know what I mean? I don't know how to, I don't know. But to your point, I don't know that, uh, again, who knows that someone might find a fence to Dr. Cox flirting with a coworker. I don't know.

I think it was done in a pretty clearly consensual way. She was flirting right back with him. Well, and Turk even says, you know, this is highly inappropriate and you shouldn't be doing this. And you know better than this, Dr. Cox. this and you know better than this, Dr. Cox. And to his intern, and if you're supposed to say anything to, you're supposed to be worshiping me and the knowledge I have and not being lovestruck with this senior resident in the hospital. For what it's worth, he then doesn't have the courage or whatever, and he's still obsessed

with Judy, I guess, and he walks off, and it's she that shows up at his door. Remember that? No, yeah. I think BJ totally gets it. No, I'm saying it to you. She becomes the aggressor, and then he gets up and says something

no man would ever say to a woman. He says, I'm using you to get past another person that was fucking nuts that any human being would say that to someone but then she's like i don't care let's hook up that's not why i'm here right yeah my whole deal is you know you have to look at things with the time that they were produced uh and that doesn't excuse like like it really egregious stuff we had a title uh come out of cereal boxes recently called box which deals with a lot of the hp lovecraft uh you know like the dark mysterious uh tentacles and enemies from other dimensions and so the way i describe it to people is you know it's hp lovecraft without any of the anti-semitism you know like it's taking the

it's taking like the best parts of it and so you know if you look at his stuff in that context you can't excuse like the blatant bigotry that's well you're bj you're you said you're an lgbtq yes activist so there's plenty of stuff that i imagine some would find offensive in nine years of this show the calling of jd this sort of um it was considered derogatory to be called a girl's name i mean how does how does something like that i thought that held up to me i thought that held up because it's within the character that it works that makes sense that he it's just the character is dead set on belittling jd in any way that he can and in his mind in in cox's mind that was belittling exactly and it wasn't it didn't come off as like malicious in in that he meant it as a anti-gay slur. He just meant it as, I'm just going to chip you down. I'm just going to keep chipping away at you. So I think it really comes from the character. And as long as the character isn't blatantly racist or something, which in the case of Dr. Cox isn't, it's fine. I know that there's certainly people that would be offended by it, and I understand that.

But to me, as long as it fits with the nature of the character, I think it's okay. All right. Do you have another question for the legendary Donald Faison? Or Zach Braff. Classy, sassy, bougie.

Ratchet, what's happening? Mardi. You sound like Rocco. So Rocco doesn't like the songcco so rocco doesn't like the song at all because he doesn't like the dance or anything like that right so he'll be like i'm a savage ratchet acid dookie rocco's at a stage where if you just want to sabotage something say poopy or caca right anything any he sometimes look man you've you've heard my

son i've taught him some words that i'm i should never have taught him man it's like a parrot you never want to teach a parrot a curse word i taught him some words and now i'm like i should have never done it and when he goes back to school i'm so worried yeah well for now it's your problem yes bj go ahead yeah um so you mentioned Divorce, did they get season nine? I was actually going to give them season seven for the writer's strike, which is always fascinated by

the whole thing with you guys having to stop mid-season and just trying to adjust. I don't remember. Maybe you guys can provide the context on that. The season shut down and then you had to go back and finish the episodes. Was that sort of the deal on that? I don't really remember.

I know that Hollywood was shut down for the writer's strike and we didn't work. Then we went back. Are you saying that you can notice a difference in the quality because of that crazy time? Yeah, I think that if those episodes were done in any other context, it would have been great, but there's something that feels off to them as you're watching them. I think that could just be going in with the context of, Oh,

this was done when the writers weren't there, or this was sort of just done under. Well, nothing would be done without the writers being there. You know, this is a, this is a really good bill. Oh,

great. We can do our ask bill. This is a really good bill question. So BJ,. We can do our Ask Bill. This is a really good Bill question. So, BJ, why don't you direct it directly to Bill Lawrence, the show's creator. You ask him. It's a good question. Yeah. So, Bill, season seven, if you had a do-over, would you feel that it would come out differently than the way it did being produced during the writer's strike?

Great question. That's a good way to. That is good. And then Bill will... He'll answer it. Knowing Bill, he'll answer the... He'll start with a joke. Let's all see if he does this.

He'll open with a joke. Then he'll give a very heartfelt, serious answer. And then he'll end by yelling 5, 6, 7, 8. We'll see. We'll see. I hope I live up to that. Do I think season seven would have been different without the writer?

Yeah. Because you got to remember, not only did the strike muck everything up so much so, NBC even rejiggered the order of the episodes. I think they aired that Princess Bride homage like it was the show's finale, just in case it was the show's finale when it wasn't supposed to be. I mean, we were heading,

the finale was always going to be that end of season eight episode that was already written in my head. And we just never got to do it that year. It was such a drag. Also, you got to remember, man, during that whole lead up to the strike, it was such a weird writer's room because we were all hustling

and worried about losing our jobs and worried about not working and all that stuff. So it was definitely screwed up. I wanted on record that I didn't do the number cue for the song because it'll get stale if I do it too often. But I'm coming back with a vengeance. See ya. I remember when the writer's strike happened,

and I remember the one thing that I remember the most about the writer's strike was thinking, holy cow, we're not going to work for a while. And does this mean this is the end of the show? Because, you know, at this point, you know, studios were, studios weren't necessarily behind writers striking and everything like that. And I worried at that point, does this mean that Scrubs isn't coming back or, you know, and I remember, I remember marching with Bill all the way to Universal Studios. Yeah, we all went and marched on the line with everybody.

And thinking, is this something that the studio is going to look back at and be like, well, we're not going to bring back Scrubs because they were a part of the writer's strike. We're not going to bring back Brooklyn Nine-Nine because they were a part of the, you know what I mean? Like now, by the way, shows are dropping because of this because of covid and and broadway shows are closing because of covid because they because they know they can't right frozen is done because of covid yeah and others and uh shows are getting canceled emergence a beat amazing show emergence starring well i don't know if emergence got canceled because of covid or if Emergence got ABC doesn't have to give a reason

for why they cancelled the show BJ have you watched Emergence? I have it didn't take for me BJ you're done bye BJ don't hate on BJ it didn't take for me

I love the cast. Great actors. Great actors. Yeah, I find a lot of TV shows that come out of broadcast networks that usually the cast is great. But for whatever reason, there's just something that doesn't click for me the way it does. Well, I think what happens is that just sort of stereotypically, there's a lot of chefs in the kitchen on broadcast. typically there, there's a lot of chefs in the kitchen on broadcast. And now more and more, um, the, the showrunner and directors are given long leashes in, on streaming platforms and there's a voice to be had. They want a voice. What was the voice behind the show? That's what they're interested in. Especially all these sort of comedies we all love on, on, on things like,

you know, I perfect example is Atlanta for me. It's like so clearly someone's taste and voice. That's hard to find on broadcast television. Of course, because there's 9,000 people weighing in and it just becomes a fucking muddy stew. I feel that way about Dave on FXX. Do you like it or you don't like it? I love it.

Oh, good, good. I did a whole ad for Dave on here. It's so good. I can't get Donald, who would love it more than any of us, to watch it because he's too busy fucking doing whatever he's doing. I'm raising kids, yo. No, I'm raising kids. You got your hands full. They go to sleep at what time? 7.30?

And then I want to go to bed, buddy. You don't go to bed at 7.30. You do go to bed early. What time you go to bed? What time is lights out? 8.30? No. Yeah, man. You turn out your lights at 8.30? You do go to bed early. What time do you go to bed? What time is lights out? 8.30? No. Yeah, man. You turn out your lights at 8.30? 8.30, 9 o'clock I'm most likely on my way upstairs to go to sleep. Wow.

It's crazy, dude. Listen, man. As much as I'm a... I'll tell you right now, I love my children. I love everything about being a dad and all of that stuff. but i said it before i miss waking up at noon and not having anything to do other than hang out with my wife you know what i mean i miss that shit um i don't every week donald makes um having children seem less

and less appealing now hold up now i don't want to go back to that. I don't want to, you know, the grass is always greener. I would prefer to wake my son walking in my room at 5.30 in the morning every day saying, can I have cinnamon toast crunch? I prefer that over freaking- Being at Orlando Jones' pool till 4.30 in the morning. Right, exactly, until 4 o'clock in the morning.

But, you know, I do miss that moment in time where it was just I didn't have to worry about a lot of things. You know what I mean? And I worry about everything now. Well, you're in a new chapter of your life now. This is 46. Yeah, you know, and when I was a young dad, it seemed a lot easier. It seems way more difficult

now, man. I don't know, BJ, you have kids, right? No, I'm child-free. He's got nephews. He was talking about his nephews. I love kids. I love my nieces and nephews more than anything in the world. I think kids are just the best. But for me, I decided, you know, I want to be environmentally friendly.

And I know as goofy as it sounds. So I took that, like, reduce your carbon footprint thing really seriously and just decided, you know, if I had kids, I don't know what kind of world they would get into. So I decided not to do it. It's a little too deep and serious. So let me ask you, like, a fun question. Yeah, go out with one. Go with a happy question, BJ, because we're going long

here and we've got to wrap it up. You've been a great guest, I've got to say, Donald. Hasn't BJ been a great guest? BJ, I'm going to be honest with you, so far, favorite call-in ever. I think I'm going to think for a second. I think BJ's definitely top two or three.

I'm going to give him the number one spot. Before you give it to him, let's see what the final question is. Yes. Thank you, guys. Like I said, I spent a crap ton of time with DX watching you. It was cool just being able to experience

a few minutes hanging out. My last question for you is, in a world where even the most microscopic show, if you remember, gets a movie, so my last question for you is in a world where even like the most microscopic show I can remember gets a movie you've probably gotten this a lot but do you envision a scenario where there might be more scrubs

and I know that it's such a fanboy question to ask but I had to ask it I think there's a world we did the view today and Whoopi Goldberg said you know Oscar nominee Whoopi Goldberg said Oscar nominee Whoopi Goldberg Well EGOT Oh

EGOT winner She has The four of them together I didn't know she was an EGOT That's the reason She's got the Tony, the Emmy The Grammy And the Oscar.

What does she have an Oscar for? Ghost. Color Purple. Oh, Ghost. No, it's Ghost. It's Ghost. Yeah, supporting in Ghost. Oh, wow.

Don't get us going on Color Purple. We did a whole episode on Color Purple. Listen, we love us some Whoopi Goldberg. Yeah, don't get Donald doing Oprah's monologue again. She was Gideon for me. I grew up with her on Next Generation. Yes, she was great on that too. Did you ever see her one woman

Broadway show that you can see? No. That's what she won the Tony for. I think it was 1985. It was Whoopi Goldberg's one woman Broadway show and she does all these characters and I'm telling you, find it. It is a fucking masterpiece.

It's one of the best. She is by far, like she is a treasure. I don't mean to diss The View because The View is The View and it's like the most popular daytime show, but I wish that Whoopi was still acting because she's so incredibly talented.

She's one of the, she's one, in my opinion, she's one of the best ever. Anyway. You made me want to go back and watch Star Trek The Next Generation now. Because I used to watch that show. Did you watch it, Donald?

I did. Great show. Do you remember the episode where Picard is being tortured and he's like, there are four lights. Yeah, by the Borg. Is he being tortured by the Borg? Yeah. Yeah. Fucking.

Anyway, she was like, Whoopi was like, look, I'm a huge fan. I was a huge fan of the show. I think y'all should make a Scrubs movie. Yeah. So, BJ. We talk about that, you know, because I point to Psych, who's now made two successful films. Right. And it would be fun.

I think it would be fun for us to all do something like that. We just have to get Disney to be into it and Bill Lawrence to be into it. And I think it'll happen. The fans seem to really want it to happen. The fans wanted a rewatch show, and they got that. Yes, we're giving the people what they want. BJ, you've been an outstanding guest. You're Donald's favorite guest of all time.

Favorite Colin guest. Favorite Colin. Favorite Colin. Colin guest. Favorite Colin. Favorite Colin, BJ. We got to qualify it. You have bigger and better, I have no doubt. No. I think you asked smart questions.

You seem like a very intelligent man. You gave thoughtful discourse. What else, Donald? And he knew about Star Wars. Yeah, you know about Star Wars. That's why Donald likes you. And you had Joelle waving her hands like she was saying preach in the background. Thanks for coming on, man. Have a great day. Stay safe. Appreciate you. Stay healthy, brother.

And Donald, I think I successfully cheered you up. You started a little bit sour today, but I think that we really brought you around. You know, I'm going to tell you something. Go ahead. It was a great distraction today, man. It was a great distraction to sit here and talk with you today. I needed it. Well, that's why we're here for the people, Donald. We, we didn't think that this would be a, a, a, a quarantine show, but since it is,

we hope that we're helping you stop thinking about nonsense in your life for an hour and a half or so. Yeah. But just on a personal level today, I was very, very, very, you know, and I'm going to go back into it after we wrap the episode, but I was very, very, I don't know. I wasn't having a great day. You're melancholic.

Yes, I was very melancholic. The melancholy was, if I could play a song, it would be a Josh Raiden song right now now that the episode's over and you've had so much fun I'm gonna go out and play with the kids

on the water bouncy house and your daughter's gonna do sassy, muddy, nasty she's gonna sing a little Meg the Stallion and I'm gonna sing this is how we do it. This has been Fake Doctors, Real Friends. We hope you had a great experience with us today.
