Oh, my God. Yes. Big Riri. Little Riri. It don't matter. I just love me some Riri. Oh, yeah. You liked Riri.

We both, I remember, had a DM moment when Riri got thick. What's the right way to say it? When she got thick got thicc where she went ahead and got thick with it yeah yeah and i was feeling it and donald was like now you know what i've been saying you know how i feel about thick women that's a nice color on you what do you call that, salmon? I like to think of it as red But just washed a little bit too much Joelle, don't you call that salmon? I do believe that is a salmon, Zach

Yeah, salmon's a nice color with your skin tone You know what's a really nice color with my skin tone? What? These nuts! Let's get into the show What just happened? You want to, um I texted you if you want to go to dinner tonight with me

That would be fun. I just got to ask my daughter if she's down to. You don't ever ask this daughter to do anything around the fucking house. She's 21 years old? Yeah. And she lives rent free and she fucking leaves dishes in the sink. And y'all never say anything like, hey, can you watch the kids while we go to dinner? And I'm tired of it.

It's not that we still feel like she has to be asked. No, she has to be told. That's her rent. That's her rent money. Damn. So much has happened. So much has happened this week.

Go on. Since we spoke, Joelle went ahead and hooked up the Oculusculus yes and was playing it and i got jealous yeah because i heard that there was a star wars game on oculus that i just had to play right so i went out and got me an oculus quest 2 yes and then i learned that the game that i wanted to play on the Oculus Quest 2 doesn't come with the Oculus Quest 2. You need a PC.

This is the most classic Donald story ever. Donald finds a hobby and then gets into it and then has to buy every single thing you could ever need for the hobby. You bought a flight chair, didn't you? I did buy a flight chair. Stop it! He's a little stupid. Oh, my God. hobby you bought a flight chair didn't you i did buy a flight chair stop it is it in the house not yet it's not here you should start doing the podcast from the flight chair pleo that might that might be the maneuver that might be the maneuver with the from the flight chair with the goggles on playing the game i really feel like we should get a four link going,

get on this game, pilot around a little bit, and do the podcast from the Oculus. But I'm saying, can't we, we should do an episode of the podcast where we're all with our goggles on in a virtual room together talking. I think that would be fun. We can do that. We can? Are there like hangout

rooms, Daniel? Yes. Big screen. It's great for this and my avatar can show up in this yep and i'll be able to touch him while i feel him no you won't feel me you know the haptics are okay they're not that's the next step when i can feel him we we could totally do virtual sex dude yeah that's not that's not i don't think it's i don't think it's um i know i think our women would be okay if we just grope each other in virtual space, right? I think it's not – I don't think it's cheating if I penetrate you in virtual space. Whoa, whoa.

Joelle, you're the expert on this. If Don – Dwan. If Donald – that must have been my dream last night. If Donald virtually penetrates me, is it cheating? Is it cheating? That depends on the boundaries you've set with your partner. Okay. You know, I feel like I could totally see some people being like,

no, even virtually, I don't want you having relationships. I feel other people would be like, thank God. No, no, no, no, no. We didn't say relationship. That's too far. If you penetrate someone you're in, you have some form of relationship. Maybe you guys are not boyfriend and girlfriend. We are having relationships.

We might be having relationships, but ain't no shit going on. In all seriousness, don't they have like virtual, not virtual, but things that connect to your computer that simulate the female anatomy oh i don't know i think they do with apps that allow you to i think there are things you guys that contract and and simulate the female anatomy and then you go in the app and in the virtual world and you're and and you virtual world and you feel it. It does not surprise me. If this does exist.

Is that inappropriate to give to you guys as a present? I was about to say, if this does exist, Christmas is coming. Oh, no. If it does exist. By the way, knowing Donald, because he's outfitting a whole room with virtual gear, this is probably already in the mail. But if it's not, I'm going to buy it for you today as your christmas present this would make my christmas it would make my wife's christmas too she'd be like yeah because she'd be like go yeah she yeah see casey would be like listen leave me the fuck alone go bang a virtual girl right

all of a sudden donald donald's sliding into my, yo, yo, you want to meet up in virtual world? Wow. Oh, my God. I'm like, chill, bro. Brokeback virtual. Brokeback virtual. Oh, my God. Do your avatars look like you in the virtual sex world?

Yeah, we get up in the virtual world. We're in a tent. We're in a tent. And we have cattle to deal with and shit. Right, right. And fire. We go virtual hunting together and then we virtual fuck and then i'm like why can't i quit you

yeah oh my god by the way if you're a game producer out there looking for content i think virtual program is a good fucking game especially if they have this fake um majiggy which i'm gonna look up somebody should be googling that joelle please um guys welcome to the program spare her welcome joelle's afraid to google it because she doesn't want that shit coming up on her do you ever google do you ever google something embarrassing and then you're on all those other pages and the ad starts coming up on other pages it's hard no but i was i've never done that but i was once on pornhub like the night before and i didn't you know cancel out on the pornhub thing and somebody was like yo uh such and such did such and such i was

like hell no man that didn't happen watch let me google it yeah and i opened up my phone and it was on pornhub and some dirty shit and some my phone and it was on Pornhub. And some dirty shit. And some dirty shit. And I was like, and I looked at the person and the person looked at me. And then there was like that understanding like, oh, you Pornhub too. Yeah, why somebody Pornhub? You want to see somebody. Listen, now this conversation might not make it.

If you ever want to see somebody, see if people watch porn. When the world opens back up and we are in a crowded space again all you have to do is this brazzers somebody looks up i guarantee you somebody will look up like what and then you guys will have a moment of laughing i'm guessing that's the brand of porn you like the most donald no but that's the's the easiest. Like, look, there was this whole, there were these whole challenges that were up on Instagram where, you know, young kids had

drum sets, and they would do this drum beat that comes with Pornhub. You know when Pornhub starts, and it does the beat, whatever the beat is? Kids were doing that in front of their dads, like, yo, dad, check out this beat I learned. And they did the beat, and then the dad's reaction would be like and then the dad and the son would have the moment like oh shit you

i never saw that by the way welcome everybody to the program um we're very excited to have you we have tara reed on today don't we guys guys? Yeah. Should we bring her in? Yes. Let's do it. When she gets here. Oh, she's not here yet. Oh, she's not here yet. Oh, she's fashionably late.

You know, a lot of star types can be fashionably late, Donald. Maybe Tara Reid is fashionably late. They like to be a little late. They like to make us wait. She looks great in this episode, by the way. She looks so beautiful. This episode has a lot of funny stuff in it, a lot of classics. A lot of classics in this episode, by the way. She looks so beautiful. And this episode has a lot of funny stuff in it. A lot of classics. A lot of classics

in this episode. While we wait for Tara, do you want to get into your recap? Yeah, but before we do that, let's get into the 5, 6, 7, 8. made about a bunch of doctors and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. I said, here's the stories that we all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.

All right, let's see. I'm going to put my timer on. You ready? Yep. On your marks to put my timer on. You ready? Yep. On your marks, get set, go. Dr. Cox is feeling his new position at work, and he knows if he gets J.D. and him on the same page, the rest of the team will fall in line.

J.D.'s still so in love with Elliot and can't recognize the hot new girl in the hospital, played by Tara Reid, who has a bit of a crush on him. Carla's brother Marco, played by Freddy Rodriguez, is in town. Carla's so happy, but her brother and Turk don't get along. Turk learns Marco has a secret and can't wait for Carla to find out. We're all caught off guard when something unexpected happens. Most people fear the unexpected because it can throw a monkey wrench in your shit and turn your world upside down. I feel like we're most powerful when we embrace the unexpected.

Although it can be scary, it's usually the beginning of a new adventure. Well said. The unexpected is scary, Donald. It's one of the most scariest things. We get into comfort zones and we like the way we feel in our comfort zone. And then no matter what it is, whether it's a new relationship or a new job or a baby or anything, it puts us in an uncomfortable place and we don't like it and we want to crawl back into our proverbial fetal position. Yeah, but you're more powerful when you can roll with the unexpected. A change happens and you have the ability to adapt.

And you run towards it. You manifest excitement about it. That makes you way more powerful than being afraid of the inevitable. Which is something new is going to happen. I think Elliot is so friggin insensitive in this episode.

She is teasing him left and right. She is teasing him left and right. She is not empathetic at all. I truly don't think she knows how he feels anymore. Come on, buddy. She knows. She's cuddling up to him.

I don't know. It just made me mad at her. I felt bad for JD because he so has feelings for her and she's so oblivious but i don't think she's i don't know i just what woman would be that oblivious she's she's just like cuddling up to him and licking his face and there's no other room in another bed let me spoon you oh it's sean oh can i cut you out of a picture for sean like i don't know i just thought she was she was insensitive.

Yeah, but she might have been insensitive, but that scene with Rob on the mat, on the top bunk. Oh, my God. It's one of the greatest scenes. Oh, God. I've often said that's one of my... Is she here, Daniel? Yes.

All right, let's invite the Tara Reid in. There she comes. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yay! Ladies and gentlemen, Tara Reid! oh my god yay hi hello tara how are you hi what's up yo hi donna hi girl how you doing a lot of you don't know this but tara reed and I went to high school together. And we were high school buddies. Oh, at the performing arts school.

No, it wasn't the performing arts school. It was the professional children's school. It's a big difference. There's a difference between the performing arts school, which is the fame school. Right. You guys didn't dance on cabs. No, we did not. We had.

But he used to sing and do hip-hop on the church stairs. Tara, we're so happy you're here. We're very excited because I didn't realize how many episodes you did. You did a whole bunch of episodes. I swear, Zach, we almost wore the same

outfit. I was going to wear my black-a-doodle-jump suit. Oh, really? That would have been even doper. But Tara, you did a bunch of episodes, I think it's because you were so fun. I mean, that's a good sign because when you do that many episodes, it means Bill obviously thought you were hilarious and kept having more and more for you to do. But this was your first one. And so I'm so glad you're here to come on and I'm so glad you said yes. Yeah, absolutely. I love you guys, and when I found out it was you, and Donald's nickname, by the way, is Shun.

I don't know if you guys know that. We talked about that. What was Donald like in high school? Because I didn't know that you guys went to school together, and I just can't imagine. I mean, I can imagine, but tell us. Donald was, we had so much fun in high school.

He actually was one of the only people that went to my house in New Jersey. I was one of the only people that went to your house in New Jersey. How did that come about? Wait, how did that come about? So I had already been at the school for like a year or two. I think it might've been my sophomore, my junior year. Tara was a freshman and she came in. And I remember the first day Tara came in and she dressed like she was from Jersey you know what I mean like she had how do you feel from

Jersey dress what the hell does that mean as a fellow Jersey girl I had curly permed hair her hair was high she had the biggest hair you've ever seen in your life yeah okay that kind of Jersey we're all in we're all from Manhattan I was just, who is that girl right there? And so Tara and I actually, we hung out. I think she stayed at the school. You stayed at the school for a year? Yeah, I think was it a year or two years? A year or two. But we hung out for the whole time that she was there.

And then she moved to Los Angeles. And I remember hanging out with like, I think Kev Jordan and my friend Brad Kane. These are guys that all were in the industry or are in the industry right now. We went and saw the big Lebowski, not knowing that Tara was in it. Oh, my God. She showed up on screen and I was like, yo, get the fuck out of here. Holy shit, Tara made it. You know what I mean?

She was the first person out of all of us like none of us were really working at the time like myself, Dash Myhock Tara sorry to pause Donald, Tara was Big Lebowski your big break, was that your first big part for sure I mean my first movie was based on a

Stephen King movie and I was 7 years old in that one but then I did some TV stuff. But the first real break was The Big Lebowski. And that's what broke me out to get everything else. But The Big Lebowski, the audition for that, I remember the final audition. And I'm sitting in the waiting room. And I see Charlize Theron come in.

And I see Liv Tyler come in. And I'm like, there's no way I'm getting this part not even a chance and then all of a sudden like three days later they're like you got the part and I was like are you kidding me it's such an iconic part I mean that is so many people

I know's favorite movie and like I mean it's just what a cool film to have been a part of and to have been such an important character in the movie yeah I mean, it's just what a cool film to have been a part of and to have been such like an important character in the movie. Yeah, I mean, definitely when we were shooting it, you knew, especially because all the actors that were in it. And, you know, it was just great. But no one knew it was going to be such a cult film. You know, it really became a cult film.

I know. You've been in a bunch of cult classics now. I know. Right. You know, your cult classic classic status is on another level. You've been in so many movies that people are like, yo, you've seen this? And people will be like, no, I haven't seen it.

They'll be like, yo, you've got to see this movie. Yeah, well, American Pie was, of course, one of them. Cult classic. Cult classic. Freaking Big Lebowski. Cult classic. Pussy and the Cat. Josie and the Pussycat.

Josie and the Pussycat. Cult classic. And you were in it. You were in it. I in it i am in that uh yeah deborah caplan and harry alfant directed can't hardly wait and they also directed josie and the pussy cats right i was in both of those yes small roles cameo roles but tara was in that cult classic and then she did another movie called sharknado which went on to be one of the biggest cult classics in the history of cult classics.

God, Tara, people love these movies. You guys have made so many of them, huh? Yeah, I mean, when we first got the movie, it was called Dark Skies. And we're like, okay, we can deal with that because we knew it was so cheesy. And I thought, okay, well, I'll just take the money and run on this one. No one's ever going to see it. That's what I thought. Then, like, the second day of shooting, all of a sudden they say,

oh, Tara, we're naming the movie to Sharknado. I'm like, no, you can't do that. It's going to ruin everything for me. It's the worst thing ever. I'm on the phone with my agent. I'm like, they can't change the name to Sharknado. It's going to be the worst. I was crying.

And then all of a sudden i'm in mexico on vacation and never i didn't even know we did no press for it i didn't even know it was coming out and my phone keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and they're calling me and they're going you won't believe what happened i'm like what happened i think something happened to my family right because everyone's calling and then they're like like, Sharknado is number one. It's trending completely. We're getting a million tweets per minute. I was like, you're joking me.

And then I get on the airplane to come home, and the stewardess comes up to me. She's like, I love your movie. So of course I think, you know, American Pie. And then he goes, Sharknado. And I was like, are you joking me? This is crazy. It's so funny. People

love it. I think people just love camp and horror. I mean, it has everything. It's like so many things that people love all combined into one thing. But this totally goes with our theme. We were talking about the unexpected today and how the unexpected can be very fearful. But I feel like you're a hero and you have more power when you embrace the unexpected and you charge towards it, as Zach said earlier.

And Sharknado is one of those moments where you're like, I'm just going to take the money and run. And then unexpectedly, you picked something that turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year of the decade. You know what I mean? And so. So do they just keep getting more and more outrageous, Tara? Because I've only seen Sharknado once. Dude, I saw one. I saw one.

He rides a fucking shark with a chainsaw in his hand. And he rides it like it's a bucking bronco. And he's slicing sharks as he's falling to the ground from like a giant skyscraper. He rides a shark down and then lands on the ground afterwards, eye-entering. God, you guys must be laughing so hard when you're making this. Oh, it was amazing because then I became, like, I was human in the beginning. But then I became, I was missing. And they couldn't find me because i lost my arms

and all this stuff and then i become like the bionic woman so all of me is like fake i'm like a robot you know i mean and so i could fly i could do all these crazy things that you would never imagine and i could run faster than speeding light i mean it's just it's outrageous and then i kill these sharks. And then when Ian asked me to marry him, I'm like, on the Eiffel Tower. We really shot this. June, you would love this.

There's one scene in the movie where we're in New York City, which was the coolest thing to shoot in New York City. And there's this fire truck. And so Ian gets on this fire truck with his saw. He's like, we're in New York City. Let's go. People, we love it. You know?

And then the regular people that were coming by, not extras or anything, they're like, yeah, New York, we stick together. Like, it was the craziest thing you've ever seen. I believe it. I believe. Yo, I remember three things in my life that are very important in my life. And you're part of two of them. Right. Before you go into this, because this is going to be juicy. That's a tease for the audience.

My first time ever falling asleep on set was on the Clueless set, right? I fell asleep and we were doing a party scene. The TV show or the movie?

The movie. And to fall asleep on a set, you got to be really brave. But baby, I wasn't in Clueless. I know you weren't in Clueless, but you showed up at the party scene. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Do you remember? Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, yes, yes. You remember? Yeah, at House of the Valley. Yeah. So I'm sleeping on a freaking, like, a chair, and we're shooting the movie, and somebody's like, Shana, wake up. And I open my eyes, and Tara's standing in front of me, standing over me. And I'm like, what the fuck are you doing here?

And she's like, hey. And I was like, the fuck are you doing here and she's like hey and I was like holy shit right and and it was a big moment for me because it takes it you gotta have trust to fall asleep on a set first of all because people will fuck with you one two it was a big moment because it was it was my big break and it was a huge movie and I knew at this point I I didn't know it was going to be huge but I knew that I was in Los Angeles and I made it. And my one friend that had made it in Los Angeles is waking me up on set. And I was like, holy shit, this is serendipitous. This has to be fate.

She's going to give me some of that big Lombowski juice. Right, some of that juice. Some of that spark. The big Lombowski juice. Right. Some of that juice. Some of that spark. Shoot.

Can I tell him the story about being in your apartment when the gun shooting happened? Oh, God. Yes. Go ahead. Yes. Go ahead. So I go over to meet Donald and we go to his house. And it's just me and him.

We're hanging out. No, it's more than just me and you. It's me, you, and some of the cast from the Mickey Mouse Club. Like, I don't know how it turned out to be this. We were hanging out with, like, and some of the cast from the Mickey Mouse Club. Like, I don't know how it turned out to be this. We were hanging out with, like, Chase Hampton and Damon from the Mickey Mouse Club. And it was like those two and a couple of other people. And we're at my house in Hollywood. I had just moved to Los Angeles. It was, like, all famous actors at the time.

Right. I had just moved to Los Angeles. Let her tell the story. Don't hijack it. All right, go ahead, Tara. So we go to his house and we're hanging out and we're all having fun

and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop in front of his house and Donna's like, duck! And we're all like, we're all laying on the ground.

Like, like, it was the scariest thing I've ever seen. And all of a sudden, he knew what to do. He's like, duck, lay on the ground. And then all of a sudden, after the shots,

he's crawling towards the window to peek through. Because we didn't know. It was right in front of his building. So we're peeking through if they're gone or not. And after that, we laid on the floor. And all of us laughed so hard because we couldn't believe what just happened. It was so crazy.

And then you were still alive. Yeah. All right. You left a couple of parts out, Tara. So we're hanging out and somebody goes, yo, this is a really dangerous neighborhood. I'm like, get the fuck out of here.

This is not a dangerous neighborhood. I'm from a dangerous neighborhood. This isn't a dangerous neighborhood. I'm from Hell's Kitchen. Right. I'm from Hell's Kitchen. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

Everybody get down. So we get on the ground and now I'm on the ground and I'm looking at Tara and Tara's bawling, crying and I'm like, oh God, oh God, oh ground. And now I'm on the ground. And I'm looking at Tara. And Tara's bawling, crying. And I'm like, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. I brought Tara Reid over to my house. I broke Tara Reid.

I brought Tara Reid over to my house. She's probably got shot or some shit like that. She's going to die. Everything calms down. We all get up. And we're looking around. And I'm like, yo, that was the funniest shit ever. I just said that this wasn't a scary neighborhood.

That this was Hell's Kitchen. And out of nowhere. And then right as I said out of yo, that was the funniest shit ever. I just said that this wasn't a scary neighborhood, that this was Hell's Kitchen. And out of nowhere, and then right as I said out of nowhere, once again, retaliation comes. Oh, really? There was more? Oh, it was crazy. So we jumped to the ground again, right? And now I'm laughing.

I'm laughing so hard. And we all are. Right. I'm stoned out of my mind. Oh, my God. And I'm freaking laughing at gunshots Outside my window, dude Yeah, laughing so hard This story doesn't have

A climactic ending Other than the fact that we survived It does, the climactic ending Is that you survived a drive-by And you didn't get Tara Reid killed Right, and I got it to get Tara Reid killed Wasn't there a story you told me once, Donald Where you went over Tara's house and had...

Moonshine for the first time in my life. Yes, moonshine. What's that story? So we were in high school, and it was Tara's, Tara was 16, it was her sweet 16, and I guess I was a senior. And she's like, yo, come to my house in Jersey. I'm throwing a party.

And all my friends from Jersey are going to be there. And like I said, Tara and I were close in high school. So there was like me, her. And your cousin? Well, it wasn't my cousin. Oh, okay. It was Jamal. It wasn't Terrence Howard.

It was Jamal. Yeah. And my buddy Jamal and one other person, we go over to Tara's house. And so we get there and Tara's like, dude, you're not going to believe this, but I got a keg. And I was like, you got a fucking keg? She was like, I got a keg.

I was like, all right, cool. It feels like it's just like the classic Jersey. I grew up in Jersey, too, obviously. It's like, remember in Teen Wolf when he goes through all the trouble to get the keg? To get the keg. And then he puts it in the room and there's all those kegs. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. Keg stands the whole time. So I get there. I get there. And I'm like, holy shit there's all those kegs. Yeah. Anyway, yeah.

Keg stands. I get there. I get there and I'm like, holy shit, she got a keg. Right. So she taps the keg and we're all drinking it. Right. We're all drinking. And she goes, yo, you want to try something different?

And I was like, in my mind, I'm like, oh, God, this is where it all goes bad. To go. You want to try to drink something different? I was like, yeah, sure. She goes, come with me. She takes me in the kitchen and in the kitchen, there's this big vat. And she's like, it's moonsh different? I was like, yeah, sure. She goes, come with me. She takes me in the kitchen. And in the kitchen, there's this big vat. And she's like, it's moonshine. I was like, what?

She's like, it's moonshine. My dad made this. And I was like, get the fuck out of here. And she was like, yeah. And so I look at him. It's like clear with celery. It looked like floating. I was like, OK, I'll try it.

And I try it. And I sip it. And I sip it. And I'm going to tell you something right now. After I sipped it, I don't remember much of what happened the rest of the time. I remember Tara showing us. I remember you doing your high school cheerleading stuff in front of all of us to show us that. I remember that. I remember falling asleep on the floor and waking up the next morning and taking the bus or the train, one of those things, back to

Manhattan. But it was my first time and my only time ever trying Moonshine. First and only time trying Moonshine? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It scared him too much. It got me. All I know is I don't remember much. I just remember falling asleep on the floor. It's like those things. It's like when you watch movies and it's like, much. I just remember falling asleep on the floor. It's like those things, it's like when you watch movies and it's like, you know, it

shows you moments in a person's life as they're watching it flash before their eyes and it blacks out and then it comes back and it's something different and then it blacks out and then it comes back and it's something different. I have two memories. One of them is Tara Reid doing going like, rah, rah, bish, boobah! And then the other one is passing out on the floor,

looking over and seeing everybody on the floor knocked out and then just passing out. Yeah, this is called a young teenage boy tries moonshine for the first time. Great night. It was a great night. One of my most memorable moments. Tara Reid has a few of them. Yeah, and we used to hang out with Tara.

When I started my career going and was going out with you, Don. We'd run into her out and about in Hollywood. Dude, we spent a week together in St. Bart's, dude. What are you talking about? That's right. That's right. We had adventures in St. Bart's.

Tara's been a part of this clique for a minute. Yeah. She's the first guest. By the way, Tara, you're the very first guest who's ever come on and called him Shun. Tara's been a part of this click for a minute. She's the first guest. By the way, Tara, you're the very first guest who's ever come on and called him Shun. So that's how far back you guys go. Wait, how about when I saw you, Zach, in Israel? And you happened to be sitting next to me. Remember in Tel Aviv?

Remind me of this story. No, remind me. So we're in Tel Aviv in Israel at this club. And I'm sitting at this table with a bunch of the soccer players there. And my boyfriend at the time was an infected mushroom, the singer. And so I'm there. And you sat at the table next to me. And all of a sudden, you look at me and you go, Tara?

And I go, is that? And we were like, he's like, what are you doing here? And then I say to him, I'm like like what are you doing here and then i say to him i'm like what are you doing here and it was the most random like anywhere to run into him i remember thinking like i remember i probably was thinking like tara's so connected i go to one club in tel aviv and here she is at the party right next to me dude that's how it wasn't same barts when we went to same barts we were like holy shit tara tara tara, I have a memory you told me this story. I don't know if it's true or not. It must be true. You told me that you were once

driving down the 10 freeway. You were driving in a Porsche. You get pulled over. The cops recognizes you. He's like, you know how fast you were going? You're like, oh, sorry if I was going a little fast.

And he goes, did you ever get this car like this going really, really fast? And you're like, no. And he's like, follow me. And he threw on the lights and told you to follow him. That is absolutely a true story. That is absolutely true. That would only happen to you. And we went so fast.

It was great. He was going in and out of lanes. I was just going right with him. And it wound up going, so I was picking someone up from the airport. So he took me all the way to the airport. Oh, my God. That never happens to us, Donald. No, no.

I don't get that treatment. You got to be Tariq to get that treatment. You got to be Tariq. All right. Should we get into the episode, guys? Let's talk about this episode, right let's get into it so this episode starts with a joke that so many people love from scrubs the silverware in the pancake drawer why is there pancakes in the silverware drawer why is there why is there silverware in the pancake drawer

and then you're like you're like i always always love when a cousin comes because she cleans the house all the time. Right, when her brother comes. Yeah. That was such a stupid joke about the pancake drawer, and then people loved it. Like, it's something people quote to us all the time. Yeah, and they quote it wrong, too. Some people are like, why is there pancake in the cutlery drawer? Well, that might be the translation on the subtitles or something.

That doesn't make the joke funny when it's the joke. Now, Freddy Rodriguez plays Carlos' brother. Carlos' brother, Marco. He did a bunch of episodes, too. This episode introduces two guest stars, Tara and Freddy, that ended up doing a whole bunch of episodes. Yeah, Danny and Marco, both. Yeah, a lot of episodes. I've noticed this trend, but I'm sure people who are watching with us and listening to the podcast, what's up with all of the boys' names for girls?

There's Danny. Right. There's Danny. There's Jordan. I'm Danny. There's Elliot. Right. You know what I mean?

Yeah. What was – Maybe Bill – Carla has the only girl name. I happen to like boy names on girls. I think it's cute. I like it too. Maybe Bill has that too.

Well, my daughter's name is Wilder. My daughter's name is Wilder. That's a boy's name. Is it a boy's name? Did she come after – do you name her after Van Wilder? I'm kidding. No, I didn't. No, tell them theer. That's a boy's name. Is it a boy's name? Did she come after, did you name her after Van Wilder? I'm kidding. No, I didn't. No, tell them the story.

That's another movie. Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid, Van Wilder. Right. Old classic. By the way, tell them how you named your daughter

out of a misunderstanding. For those of you who haven't seen Kick-Ass 2, now's your chance to go see it. Zach Braff and the rest of America and the rest of the world. I've never seen Kick-Ass 1 or 2.

If you get the chance, you should check them out. You might laugh a little. You might laugh a little. They're funny. They're gory superhero movies that you might like. Anyway, my point is... The guy who's the star... The star of the movie is Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson. He's married to Sammy... Sam Taylor-Johnson. And they have kids together. And one of their kids kids name is Wilder and I was like I love that name I'm getting married and if I ever have another kid I'm going to name that kid Boyer Wilder and I'm thinking they're saying Wilder because they both have British accents and stuff oh yeah, yeah, Wilder, Wilder.

The baby's born. We name her Wilder. I'm like, I've run into them out at like an Oscar party, and I'm like, yo, dude, we did it. I named my daughter Wilder after your daughter. You named her what now? I go, I named her Wilder. He goes, no, no, no, no.

My kid's name is Wilder. Wilder. Like how do you spell his kid's name? Like Y-L-D-A? I think it's something like W-Y-L-D-A. Something like that. W-Y-L-D-A. Y-L-D-A. Something like that.

But you thought it was W-I-L-D-A. Yeah. I love how you're like, I did it. Finally, I really did it. I named after your kid. But I ran up on him like, I told you I'd do it, man. I love that little girl. And he's like, no, you got the name wrong.

And I was like, you know what? And so I named my kid Wilder Francis Faison. And Wilder is short for wild animal, right? Francis means free. So we named our daughter Wild and Free pretty much. That's so cool. And she is wild and free. And she is wild and free.

She's the one that called me a stupid-ass motherfucker. Yeah, that's true. She's a little too free. Another one, I have said many times maybe a couple times this podcast one of the funniest times i ever laughed was rob machio high five todd saying sometimes when i'm banging this mattress i'm thinking about banging that one i always and you're cuddling down and you're like all excited. And she's like, I just need space to sleep. And you're like dying.

You're like, I just want to be with you. I know. And I was saying, Tara, before you got on, that she's so insensitive. Like the character is clearly not reading that I'm obsessed with her and still so in love. And she's like such a tease to me. She's like, oh, come on. Cuddle up with me. I need someone to sleep with.

Oh, wait. It's my boyfriend. Here. Do you want to say hi? Like she's so oblivious but one of the best one of the best scenes is she's like do you still have those pictures like from when we were together and you're in your head you're like from a to z i do she's like you know that one where um i looked really hot and you look whatever and you go, yeah.

And then all of a sudden she's like, can I cut you out? And you're like. That's so fucked up. Yes. Yep. So, Tariq, do you guys think that this is the question? I'm asking this and everyone, I'm sure. I agree with you.

Everyone listening. I agree with you already. I agree with you already. Everyone listening out there, you've probably been in a situation where you still had feelings for an ex and you're now you're trying to act normal trying to act cool trying to hold it together trying to act like you don't have feelings and don't you think in this situation you guys that elliot must know that jd is still harboring feelings and she's being fucking mean and insensitive and rude. Yo, there's nothing like, I'm going to say this and I, and I'm not a woman, so I can't,

I'm going to let Joelle and Tara answer the question after I say this. Yeah. But I will say, I will say there's nothing like knowing someone has feelings for you and you can hide behind the fact that you can act like you don't know. There's nothing like acting like you don't know someone has feelings for you when you know they do and watching them run, jump through hoops. I think some women get turned on or not turned on, but get excited by it. And I feel like Elliot's one of those people who's like, I know he likes me, but there's something really cool about torturing

this boy. I think that's really true because for a girl to do that, usually you hurt her somewhere along the line, you know? And so she's like, you know, it's, it's, it's game time. So she's now going to go to you and she's going to make you suffer because you's game time. So she's now going to go to you, and she's going to make you suffer because you made her suffer. So now she gets that confidence back, and she moves on feeling great, and she leaves you back in the dirt, and she's like, oh, I could do this again. And again, it's not that bad. You know, and another thing is they always say, like, you know,

the only way to move on from a person is to find another person first. And I think that's what Elliot did in this this case yeah you're right she did joelle what are your thoughts on this i think terrace ended up really well uh everybody you know at some point in their life has had the position of a power play and who doesn't love a power play but i don't know if that's what elliot's do i feel like elliot's character is really oblivious. Like, I don't know if she's actually out there to hurt. Oh, come on. During that montage. I don't think so.

Joelle, Joelle. During the montage, she licks chocolate off my lips. And I then take my fingers and touch where she licked and kiss my fingers. You did do that. You did. And her boobs were all in your face at one point, which I was like, that stretch seems very obvious. So maybe. What about when she's spanking me? I've got dirt. I get dirt on my butt. And her boobs were all in your face at one point, which I was like, that stretch seems very obvious. Oh my God.

What about when she's spanking me? I've got dirt. I get dirt on my butt. And she's trying to get the dirt off and then it cuts to my face and it looks like I'm about to have an orgasm. And then to end the montage, by the way, it's Todd pumping the mattress above you and you cuddling.

Todd. And you grabbing, and you grabbing Elliot in fear, holding her in fear. Like, Oh God. No, but also I think JD is like, I've got the love of my life in my arms and she's sleeping. Todd, you're having a bad dream. You're going to wake her up. Stop fucking, you know, wake up. So you don't wake Elliot up. And he's like, no, I'm awake. I'm just fucking this mattress.

And he's like, no, I'm awake. I'm just fucking his mattress. That's so funny. Oh, my God. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine.

Welcome to the program. Thank you.

Thank you so much for having me. Now, Joelle implied that you're somehow a special guest for Donald, which really titillated me. I want to know why. What don't I know? Do you want to tell them what you do? Sure. Yeah. So, I mean, a few weeks ago, I think one of you insinuated that

someone from Ubisoft listens to the podcast. Yeah, that is true. That is me. I work for Ubisoft. Donald's going to just ask you video game questions now. What's your favorite? No, no, no. You work for Ubisoft. Go on.

What do you do for Ubisoft yousef uh so i'm a um a news writer and on camera host for ubisoft nice cool so i i you know i stream on twitch um i you know i host our sort of big industry showcase um you know multiple times a year uh so yeah donald do you have a favorite ubisoft game i i i'm sure i do what games does ubisoft make uh ubisoft makes assassin's creed uh far cry i do like far cry and any tom clancy game that uh you've played noise i've i've played the far cry uh a couple of times. There's a few of those Far Cries, aren't there? Was there a Far Cry where it's like you're medieval?

Not medieval, where it's like it takes place in... There was a prehistoric Far Cry. Yes, that was my favorite one! Far Cry Primal. Primal, yes! I had that one. Far Cry 6 is coming out and Giancarimal, yes! I had that one. Yeah, and Far Cry 6 is coming out,

and John Carlos Esposito's in that one. Does he play Darth Gideon? Not to my knowledge, no. You, Seth, I'm going to cut to the question Donald really wants to ask you. Do you guys make any Star Wars-related games? Unfortunately, we don't. That is a partnership with EA, so EA makes all the Star Wars games.

If and when you ever get that contract, let Donald know. Oh, absolutely. Because it's the only thing Donald really cares about in life is his kids, his wife, and Star Wars. I'm just going to put it out there. You don't have to do that. But if you ever want me to come down and check out what y'all do over at Ubisoft, I'll come down.

I'll hang out. I might bring the microphone. We might do a little fake doctors, real friends in the headquarters of Ubisoft as long as I get me some games. Absolutely. Send him the mother load anyway.

You don't have to send me. Don't send me the mother load. Send me everything. I send the mother load and everything the same thing no everyone so wait can i ask a question about twitch for for myself and for all the people listening who who still fucking don't know what twitch is people play video games and they make commentary and then they somehow make money off of this can you explain it to me yeah i mean so it's it's not too dissimilar from the way i tend to describe it to people is that

um it is if youtube was live all the time and primarily focused on games there are tons of other things on twitch that are not game related people have talk shows on there people you know just hang out people carve you know wood and things like that on there but uh at the same time it is uh uh, focused almost entirely on live content. And how do they make money? People tip them like, like, like a cam girl. Yeah. So yeah, you can get tips. Um, people can subscribe to your channel. And if, if they subscribe, that's, that's like a $5 a month, uh, like subscription that they're signing up for and they can view your channel ad free. They can support you that way. Um, and then you,

you can always tip the person you're watching if you like them or uh you know you want to support them more time out zach what you know about cam girls i lost you just glossed over that really fast like you weren't no i don't i can honestly say i don't watch chemicals but i know what it is i know it's a thing i and i know that you like you like the way that these women make money women and men is that people throw money at them like like by going on the interwebs and hitting i have i have an idea and you tell me if you're all right with this what you and i should start an only fans yeah but we're gonna have to show our peeps and i don't want my peep next to your peep it's gonna look even smaller

we could just show crack oh my god oh do you think we can make money on only fans if we show I don't want my peep next to your peep. It's going to look even smaller. We could just show crack. Oh, my God. Oh, do you think we could make money on OnlyFans if we show coin slot, Joel? Could we make – I think we could play – I think we could play balls or shaft on OnlyFans. Because, you know, what's her name? What's the name of that girl that got – we were talking about her. She got in trouble for doing OnlyFans.

Bella Thorne. Bella Thorne. She got in trouble. She said she could do OnlyFans and didn't show anything negative. Joelle, how much can Donald and I make if we show crack? I don't know. What about just ball? What about just ball? One ball. One ball each.

Joelle, can you Google how much we can make for one ball? No! You could just play toe or thumb. There you go. Wholesome. that Daniel you stream on Twitch right? I do And do you make money doing it?

I make a little bit of money I stream once a week I'm not a full time streamer I get probably like 20-30 people In the chat And make 10-15 bucks I know Sasha Gray does it She's a very good streamer

and what game does she do you always play the same game you can play whatever i mean she she does variety stream she also cooks on stream yeah i've seen that yeah i've seen that and then you said you just do only ubisoft yeah just use off games so you know we streamed uh we streamed like for honor today watch there's a new watchdogs coming out next week. So we'll be watching. Oh, watchdogs Legion. Yeah. Stoked for that.

All right. You chef, you're a great guest so far. Do you have any scrubs related questions? I do. I do. So the, the,

the first question I have actually is, is, is related to for me, scrubs is a show that, that I think kind of makes me want to be a better person. I used to, in high school, I was a part of this. There was a Facebook group I was in called I Get All My Life Lessons

from the Last Two Minutes of Scrubs Episodes. And I think there are certain shows and movies out there that I think should almost be required viewing for people because they encourage kindness, you know, encourage kindness. They encourage compassion and scrubs is obviously one of those for me. And actually two of your other projects, Zach and Donald are also way up there for me in remember the Titans and Ted Lasso. And I was wondering, you know, what are your movies,

TV shows, whatever that you think should be required viewing and make you want to be a better person wow you know that's a great question this is how i became this is how i became an actor you know what i mean it was watching movies that moved me to want to do what i do now you know what i mean uh so when i was younger the princess bride was one of those movies that i was like if i can ever get on a level of comedy that these guys are doing right now i you know so i watched that a lot i watched a lot of rushmore i watched you know uh you know movies where the comedy was subtle and not necessarily i remember one night night, Zach and I went out for the,

Zach and I went out on our first like hangout thing. It was me, Zach's there and my manager at the time. And we're sitting at the table and Zach says, or maybe I said, well, what's your top five movies? And everybody said some like really dope shit. Like Zach said, citizen Kane and like shit that I'd never heard. I didn't say citizen Kane. That's so pretentious. But if I did, I was young. Yeah. You were young and you were a freaking, you know, you were, I was a film student. I hope I didn't say Citizen Kane. That's so pretentious. But if I did, I was young. Yeah, you were young and you were a freaking...

I was a film student. You were a film student. What a douchebag. Everyone's in their top five. Well, Citizen Kane, obviously. I'm sorry. And I remember naming my top five and everybody kind of looking at me like I was crazy. But these are the movies that made me

not necessarily have a positive attitude about life, but made me want to be an actor. So like, you know, Goodfellas and, you know, Rushmore, The Empire Strikes Back, The Princess Bride, you know, movies like that, for some reason, fueled me into this. I can't really, I mean, I guess La La Land. He's speaking a little bit, I mean, not to correct me if I'm wrong, Yusef, but like a movie or a TV show that made you aspire to be a better person.

Yeah. Oh, well, that's all of them. Do the right thing. Freaking, you know what I mean? You know what movie came to me? Boys in the Hood. Juice. You know, like all of the movies that were geared toward black youth and black people when I was a kid, that was what I was checking for. And in the

90s and in the 80s and the 90s and the early 2000s, every movie that was a black movie had a message in it. And so for sure, after I walked out of freaking Boys in the Hood, I was like, I know what I'm not doing in life. Good. That's great filmmaking. It made such a difference for you. But if a movie popped into my, I probably could sit, Yusuf, if I thought about it and ruminate on a lot. But one just popped into my head the second you finished your sentence, and it was American Beauty. Oh, wow. That was a movie that really moved me at a time when I needed it. And it kind of made me just really think about what kind of person I wanted to be.

And I don't know. It's always been a touchstone for me. It's a film that I really, really cherish a lot. How about you, Tara? Is there a movie that you saw that you were like, oh, that makes me want to be a better person or a TV show? I think it's going to sound so cliche, but I guess there's two. There's one called A Place in the Sun.

It's a really old movie. And it's with montgomery cliff and elizabeth taylor and when you see them in it you see like from murder to scandal to love to how far people will go from that and how you correct it on the way because it goes you can go from love to absolute craziness you know love is either one strong thing or it's another. And I think it taught me a lesson, like, you know, just like we had in the TV show, like, you can't be crazy. You can't be like a stalker.

You've got to be smooth. You've got to be better. You've got to be more secure. And I think, you know, and to be a kinder person to certain things because it's a domino effect. If you hurt someone and you're in a bad mood and you go home and you have a friend there or your wife there or whatever, your roommate there, and you're now snapping at them,

they don't know why, then they snap at someone else. And that kind of movie made me learn that. Yeah. That's great. And Yusuf, I'm so happy that we are associated with something that made you, that affected great. And Yusuf, I'm so happy that we are associated with something that affected you like that. And I wish I could take more credit for Ted Lasso. By the way, a funny Ted Lasso story. I only directed episode two of Ted Lasso, but I'm getting all these compliments for it, which I happily take. And I'm on Twitter and James Gunn says, hey, Zach Braff, loved your episode of Ted Lasso. And I'm like, oh, shit, thanks, man. That means so much to me coming from you. All of a sudden, and I'm getting all these likes, and everyone's being like, oh, Zach, you must feel,

all of a sudden, Bill Lawrence comes in, hijacks it, being like, what about me? It's my show. And I'm like, are you really fucking in here hijacking my James Gunn compliment right now, motherfucker? No. That's so funny. But yeah, I'm happy for bill uh ted lasso is just a

massive hit everybody loves it and i'm hopefully going to direct uh more in the second season but uh but that's great all right you say wait before you go before we move on zach i just wanted to piggyback on what you said american beauty yes that was one of those movies for me as well i that definitely uh when i finished that shit that shit had a lot of power behind it for me as well. I that definitely when I finished that shit, that shit had a lot of power behind it for me. And I don't know why it did. But I just remember being like we were I went to see it with a bunch of friends. I was making Remember the Titans when that movie came out as well.

Were you in them? Yeah, I was. And we were making that movie and I believe it was me, Brian, Wood, and Ethan. We all went to see that together. And I remember walking out of the movie and everybody being like, this is one of the dopest movies I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. Yeah, American Beauty is one of those movies that I can't explain to you why I like that movie so much. I just like it.

It made me just think. It's one of those films for me that makes you just zoom out. And it's not just like, oh, cool movie. What should we we get for dinner it's like you really start thinking about your own life in your own place in the world and there's so many little things in it that i remember um when uh they're getting into a fight and he's about to uh spill beer on the couch and she's like careful careful your beer and he's like it's a fucking couch right and i think of that i think of that little moment so many times in my life where i'm where i'm sweating something so insignificant and i and i and i'm all anxious about something that in the macro is so fucking ludicrous and i always think

of spacey yelling it's a fucking couch right anyway and of course and of course the the plastic the plastic bag thing was just the right. The plastic bag, right. Beautiful. Go ahead, Tara. I think another movie for me was, and it's a classic for everyone, was Shawshank Redemption. Yeah. I mean, that really showed you so many characters that struggled from the beginning and became so strong at the end and just so clever.

And that movie really touched me, especially at the end and just so clever. And I, you know, that movie really touched me, especially at the end when he finally gets through and on the beach and power of friendship too. It's friendship. Yeah. Very much. And when he played the music, when he played the music,

when he locked it up, you know, in the office and all the people, like it was like those, it was like angels coming out of the sky. I'll never forget that. That's one of those rare films that everybody loves universally. All right, Yousef, you know because you're here and you're a listener.

We have America's favorite segment everywhere, not just America. From Shtad to Djibouti, people love this segment called Fix Your Life. You have the benefit of having Tara Reid here. She's going to give you great advice yusef how can we fix your life today yes so my brother and i don't get along very well at all uh we are alike in every way we can't control and then we are dislike in every way we we can choose um to be and um to the point where we haven't spoken since about may um and he couldn't um in many ways i sort of just kind of decided to step away from a toxic situation with him um because it's just been better for for me and my mental health if I disassociate when he constantly sort of antagonizes me.

And lately he'll sort of go to my parents and sort of try and play the victim, even though he tends to be the instigator in these situations. And I find it very difficult at times to be the bigger person and to, to try to forgive him. And I was wondering if you had any advice on, you know, how to take the high ground. You're just going to have to take that high ground, dude. That's just how it is,

man. There's no, that's just going to hurt no matter what, you know, it's a sacrifice taking the high ground. Isn't necessarily one of those things where it's like, I'm going to feel good about this. I'm going to take the high ground,

taking the high ground. It also was one of those things where it's like this,'m going to feel good about this. I'm going to take the high ground. Taking the high ground also is one of those things where it's like, I don't want to take the high ground, but because I don't want to be in this, I don't want this to go any further than it is, I'll take the high ground. It's one of those things where you're going to have to bury your freaking pride. That's at the end of the day. Well, let me just ask you a question first. Yusuf, have you guys ever really just had a heart to heart where you weren't screaming at each other? Have you ever just kind of had like a let's have a really super honest conversation? I'm not nothing in depth, nothing super in depth. I mean, even even on the best circumstances, we, you know, in a pre-COVID era, we only see each other maybe a few times a year anyway. COVID era, we only see each other maybe a few times a year anyway. And at that point, it's usually, you know, around my mom, it's, you know, she just wants to not rock the boat and keep calm

and, you know, yeah, it's like that. It's big like that. I thought it was just like just you two are tipping. It's it's affecting your whole family. I'm Yeah, I my advice is that it really can help if you if you say like, Hey, hey, you mean so much to me. I love you. We obviously have some problems, but can we just have a super honest conversation with each other and just have it all out? And that's the trick with you

is you got to not blame the other person. The second you start blaming someone, they shut off and they get defensive. We all do that. So you have to come at it from a point, from a perspective of, I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm just telling you how I'm, how I'm feeling and, and how this is kind of landing with me. And I really, I love you. It's not that easy. I mean, I recently lost both my parents and, you know, they were kind of the rocks, you know, to us four kids. And when, you know,

that rock goes away, it's for brothers and sisters, the closeness that kept you together does part, you know, and then there's times where they do do something to you. And you say, you know what, I don't need them in my life. You know, they're only being toxic, you know? And it's not taking the high ground sometimes. It's the opposite. It's taking no ground and just letting time does heal things. But I think by mentally always letting it bother you, it's eating you up inside.

So instead of taking a high ground instead of taking a low ground, it's taking time for yourself to heal and be when you're ready to go and if you're not ready and you just and you try and it goes south again then you know that just tells you something i know a family is family and you want to never get them out of your life but sometimes you know you can't pick your family but you could pick your friends and i'm just saying i just saying, I'm just saying when you do try, when you do make a big attempt, I think that if you if you can really control any blaming and just say, look, I'm just I'm not blaming any of this on you. But I want to I want you to know that I aspire.

I love you. I aspire to have a better connection with you. I want to find a way for us to communicate better. Here's some of the things I'm feeling. And just like, be super, super vulnerable. It's going to require you to be super vulnerable. That's what I'm trying to say. But that's taking the high ground right there. That's him being like, all right, look, I'm going to put myself on the chopping block and I'm going to make myself so vulnerable that my nerves are going to show and you're going to be able to poke my nerves, but I'm doing this because I love you so much.

And I want us to fix this relationship. Now, when your nerves are poked, the thing you have to do is not freaking let that affect you. And that's hard to do. Like I said, that's really, really, really hard to do. I don't, I, I, I do not envy you, man. I, I, I've got power and being vulnerable, no doubt, but I've been, I've, me and my brothers have had fights that have lasted a year, you know, where my brother and I didn't talk for a year and I can never get that back. You know what I mean? And he can never get that back. And thank God neither one of us perished during that year. You know what I mean? Cause then I would feel like shit. And so you got to think of it also as that. You know what I mean? Tomorrow, nothing's promised. Nothing is promised. Tomorrow's not promised. You know what I mean? have this conversation. And yeah, taking the high road is the way to go. Cause it sounds like,

it sounds like you're not the instigator. He's the one that's instigating all of this stuff. Well, but he might have his own story, you know, Yusef, whatever is, whatever you believe to be true, he's probably got something. He's obviously got something else going in his head. And the idea, the goal is to kind of get on the same page. And, and my advice is just to make sure when you do have this conversation that you need to have that you're not accusatory. Accusatory? Accusatory. There's no extra C in there, Zach.

I like accusatory. I like accusatory. Accusatory. Accusatory. That'd be a good t-shirt along with deserving. Deserving, accusatory. But dude, the first thing is,

the most important thing is you got to communicate. If you're just off in your corners pouting and hating each other nothing's ever going to happen so yousef you're welcome yousef yousef i think if you follow all that advice and you're going to listen to this back you're welcome it's going to work thank you thank you no i really do appreciate that in all honesty and and i know fix your life's usually the end. And I, but I would be just so remiss Donald, if I didn't say that I absolutely adore remember the Titans. And you have my absolute favorite line in the entire film, which is,

so it's the scene right when, you know, y'all are on a winning streak, you're feeling good in your, you're going out for a night on the town and And Sunshine wants to take you and Blue into a restaurant. And you tell him, no, this is Virginia. They're not really going to want us here. And he tries anyway.

And then you get turned away at the door. And it's this moment that kind of creates a schism again between the black players and the white players. But you have a line there where you get really upset. And Blue says, relax, man. He didn't know. And you said, what do you mean he didn't know? I told him. the black players and the white players but you have a line there where you get really upset and you know blue says relax man he didn't know and you said what do you mean you know i told him he don't want to know right and like that to me is just so emblematic of so much of the inequality and apathy and insensitivity that is still so pervasive to this day of how many people just don't want to know that's absolutely right that that That's the truth. There are a lot of people out there that don't

want to know. And they know, they've been told over and over and over again what the deal is. And you're right about that. There's a group, not even a small group, there's a really big population in America. I'll just talk about America. In America that knows what's going on and knows what the experience brown people and other minorities are having in this country. And they see it and they act like they don't see it. And they play aloof or they play freaking stupid. And that's bullshit. And you're absolutely right. knew i told him you know uh pd told him but he didn't want to he didn't want to hear that shit he wanted

to hear what he wanted to hear you're absolutely right about that man that's a strong that is a powerful line brother yeah all right brother yusef brother yusef thank you for coming on the show we really appreciate it and please send donald the mother load of games oh absolutely thank you so much for having me i really my pleasure man thank you for coming on the show.

I guess it might have been the height of Dr. Phil. Turk is obsessed with cheese.

I love the only word you know is queso. You're like, did somebody say cheese? Yeah. I'm just saying, if somebody's going out to get some cheese, let a brother know. And then they cut to you later and you're eating a fucking solid brick of cheese. I'm eating some government cheese. Not only did they go to the store, they cut to you later and you're eating a fucking solid brick of cheese. I'm eating some government cheese. Not only did they go to the store, they went to the truck and got the government cheese. Somebody got online, got the government cheese and handed it to Turk.

And now Turk's walking around with government cheese chewing on it like it's freaking like it's a snack. It was so gross. Like who would ever eat cheese like that? Turk. like it's a snack. It was so gross. Like, who would ever eat cheese like that? Turk.

I like when you go, K my ass! K my ass! K my ass! K my ass! How does Carlin not know that her fucking brother's fluent in English? I mean, come on. They don't hang out much.

He hides it from her. He does. I guess, I mean, they always speak Spanish to each other. Is this the first time we hear the phrase in opposite world? Because I say that. And yo, dude, I've left that. I've taken that word for the rest of my life.

I'm going to use that word. We always say in opposite world. I've used it since. I remember watching the show and you saying that and being like, yo, that is my new shit. In opposite world is going to be my new shit. We use it with each other I don't know where I mean obviously some writer put it in but this is where we first started

this is where we first started using it Nana Hobbs is a bit racist what yeah that was funny Tara I like when I go I'm going to miss you and no sorry you go I'm going to miss you I'm going to miss you too and you go dude we just met I'm kidding that was funny

danny's a bit weird daddy's so weird i mean part of danny's shtick is that she always starts conversations in the middle of a conversation in the middle of a conversation yeah but also i like when danny says you know she's talking and we're in the elevator and she's like you know this it could you know fall right now on the stream and you're like looking at her like what she's like oh sorry i mean i just have it in her monologue in stream. And you're like looking at her like, what? She's like, oh, sorry. I mean, I just have it in her monologue in my head. And you're like, oh, weirdo. But yet that's your character.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It must have come from somebody in the writer's room knowing someone that just always started conversations right in the middle of a conversation. And I think it's a funny thing for Dani. She's always like three sentences into a conversation. And J.D.'s like, what? Yeah. funny thing for danny she's always like like three sentences into a conversation and jd's like what yeah have you ever said to somebody you know what i was thinking about and they actually answered what you were thinking about but they don't answer it correctly yeah it's one it's one of the funniest things ever like so usually when you say to somebody

you know what i was thinking about you're saying it so they'll be like what were you thinking about and then you can go into what you were thinking about, right? Yeah. I watched my wife one time go up to this young lady and she goes, oh, my God, do you know what I was just thinking about? And the girl goes, Rihanna dancing on the stage in last year's. And Casey's like, what? No, no, no, no. I was like, that was a funny. That's no, no. Honestly. That was a funny scenario.

That's funny, though. We should all have one of those locked and loaded for when someone says that to us. You know what I was thinking about? Right. And you just go into some- Rihanna when she got thick? Right. Yeah.

Anyway. How about the fact that we learned that Kelso's genitals were shaved when he passed out at the Christmas party? Yeah, and that Cox is the one that shaved him. Yeah, Kelso got so hammered and passed out at the Christmas party and Cox shaved his genitals. More than once, too.

That's something I didn't remember from Scrubs. Yeah, more than once, too. This is like a recurring tradition that happens. So funny. And then I laughed, too, when Sarah says she has to perform a thong extraction on herself. Right. How fucking funny is that punch in the face to you, dude? When Marco hits you in the face, I laughed out loud.

I laughed at that, too. You Marco hits you in the face, I laughed out loud. I laughed at that too. You go, I told you! Bam! That is the hardest hit. Yeah. By the way, Scrubs Wiki says that you have the black eye on the wrong eye. I do? Yeah, that's what Scrubs Wiki says.

We had a couple of racist jokes in this. Is it racist to say that Nana Hobbs is a racist and no that's not right he's saying she thought that she thought that i was robbing the house well she's racist the joke is not racist she was racist she's racist by the way it's not racist or correct me if i'm wrong you guys will tell me when i say so black people can get black eyes too who knew well i mean come on, man. You've seen all types of boxing matches, and a lot of boxers are black.

If you're trying to tell me, this is where the bullshit comes in. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Muhammad Ali, I've seen him get fucked up. I've seen Leon Spinks get fucked up. I've seen a bunch of black people get fucked up fighting back in the day before scrubs. Out of nowhere jd is like wait a second black people get black eyes i mean i thought it was funny but if you're telling me it's fucked up i i believe you no i don't i don't think it's fucked up i just think

i just think that jd is trying to be a bit of you know what i mean well yeah he's a doctor i'm sure he's seen a black person with a black eye he's trying to be his bit of, you know what I mean? Well, yeah, he's a doctor. I'm sure he's seen a black person with a black eye. He's trying to be funny with his black best friend. Exactly, exactly. But it doesn't work if JD is, you know, genuinely asking that question.

Then it becomes a racist joke. Right. I think that as a doctor, he's probably seen a black person with a black eye. But just so you know, the trivia that Scrubs Wiki said that your black eye's on the wrong eye.

Well, you know, we can't all be perfect. Yeah. Yeah. We can't all be perfect, makeup department. Yeah, there's a bunch of continuity errors in this one. Who directed this episode? This was Gail Mancuso. Gail Mancuso.

Who I think has since won an Emmy for Modern Family, I believe. Double checking. I believe. Joelle will double check. Gail Mancuso was one of our great directors, and she went on after Scrubs to become one of the top TV directors in Hollywood. A lot of Modern Families, I remember that. You guys, I had forgotten the reveal

that Danny is Jordan's sister. Me too. Wait, what? At the end, that's the best. What? When you're like, I finally found a girl with no issues, you know, and you're like, bam,

they walk out and you're like, oh no. Yeah, oh no, my nemesis, yeah. This is the beginning of a lot of crazinessiness like at some point don't you have a toilet paper thrown tara in this uh on scrubs at some point later on as we go on like don't we doesn't it get like just ridiculous oh i remember there's a fantasy coming up tara mentioned to me and we were texting back and forth about when she's dressed as a cigarette i remember i was so embarrassed like tara you're gonna dress as a cigarette. Do you remember that? Yeah, I was just going to say that. I remember, I was so embarrassed. Like, Tara, you're going to dress as a cigarette right now. I'm like, and I remember wearing the outfit going like, oh my God.

I love that we have like only Bill Lawrence would bring on this beautiful woman that everyone's like lusting after and be like, hey, we're going to dress you up as a cigarette. And then when she's in the bed, when she's in the bed with you, just smoking, smoking, smoking. Oh my God, Tara god i just remembered this story do you remember this i had to do a naked dance in front of you and when you're on set as a guy and you're supposed to be naked there's only a certain amount of stuff you can do so i put my

junk in a sock yeah and i tucked it all in as best as i could and then i had to do the dance and i'm dancing around the sock held on as long as it could but eventually it just gave up and I was like, sorry Tara, sorry. No, that was hilarious. That was hilarious.

We had so many fun scenes. I was like, I remember being like, sorry Tara, but it's like Seinfeld. Just so you know, it's very cold in here,

Tara. Air conditioning. Joelle just told me that, what? Hold on, let me read Joelle's note. Go ahead. Guillaume and Co did win the Emmy
