Oh, wait. I got to plug my headphones in like a responsible podcast. Yes, yes, yes. Everybody has all their everything plugged in. I'm recording. Hi, everybody. Hi. By the way, we got to state the obvious to our listeners before we even say a word. It is Friday at 1 p.m. on the West Coast when we're recording this.

So, Dan, you'll have to keep your TV on and let us know if anything gets declared because we are waiting. You're waiting for a declaration? Well, I don't know that the declaration is going to come in the next hour and a half, but I do want Dan to have something on that he can watch to go, you guys, you're not going to believe what just happened. I have NBC News on right here.

Can you fix your camera so I can see your beautiful face? I don't want you to look at me right now. Just kidding. I'm just kidding um this is far from over though let's just be honest with everyone who's listening by the time you hear this we'll still probably in my opinion oh no i don't think donald trump's gonna freaking concede first of all and so no he's already said he's not gonna absolutely not right so. So with that being said, I don't think this is going to be over until after all of the count is done, first of all, and then all of the suing and lawsuits get underway. And then after that, when we find out what's going to stick and what's going to recount and everything like that, then it's going to be a while until we find out who's president.

I'm hoping it's before freaking inauguration. Well, hold on. Dan looks like he's got something to say. Go ahead, Dan. I was just going to offer that in certain states, it definitely seems like there is some sort of legal precedent to actually do a recount like Georgia and Wisconsin. But in places like Pennsylvania and Nevada and Arizona, where the count is still happening and still active, the only ballots that have been counted so far are the ones that were received on or before election day.

So, so far, all the votes counted in these states that are super battleground, that people are really aggressive about, there's no legal ground to stand on for a recount or a lawsuit. So all of the lawsuits that he will try to push for those places, he already tried in Michigan and failed. All of these other states will also just be like, you want to do a lawsuit here? You can't. But isn't Wisconsin still growing, though? Isn't that one still? Or was it Michigan that's still growing? What do you mean? Growing in what way? Just in the number of votes? Yeah, and Biden distancing himself from Trump.

himself from and Biden distancing himself from Trump. Oh, sure. Yeah, it is. But it's Georgia. I mean, Georgia just has a lot of extra ballots that are hanging by the wayside, like military ballots that still haven't been counted yet. And not just that in Wisconsin, but not just that, but other like provisional ballots haven't been counted in Georgia yet. And so we got to get into that. You know what I mean? There's something like, I don't know the exact number, so please, U.S. of A, don't quote me on this, but there's something like 6,000 provisional ballots that have been accepted and will be counted. What's so frustrating to me is that a lot of these states said to their legislatures, this is going to be crazy. We can't count all this on the day. We need to start counting early. And Republican legislatures said no. They were trying to suppress the vote, dude. they just were never counted because uh because they weren't allowed to be counted and so now

that they're all being counted and people were like stop the count you see the people praying outside stop the count and it's like well the you guys you you're they should have been counted for a week ago but but because you vote your people said no way they've just been sitting there in boxes yeah and and and and that's what's going on right now. And we will have a winner, and it could be Joe Biden, and it could be Donald Trump. What about when this guy's more likely going to be Joe Biden? There's no way it's not Biden, dude. That's not true, Zach.

That's what they were saying on Election Day, that there's no way it was going to be Biden. That's what Trump was thinking. So let's just let democracy play its part in all of this. And let's sit back and watch, please let the soap opera play on. Everybody's getting so, everybody's getting so excited about it though, man. Let it play on. We all wanted this shit. This is what everybody wanted. Everybody hoped for this. Everybody hoped for this everybody hoped for this and now it's pulling this this election is pulling at your heartstrings and everyone's freaking freaking out calm the fuck down us of a well it'll be tuesday by the time they hear this so maybe they'll be

all of this will be antiquated news right but we have to vent how could the four of us not get together and vent because it's just fucking nuts Yo Biden's security better be beefy Oh it already is Beefy as fuck Clear airspace over his house More secret service Well actually the very first step they do

Which is kind of cool When they start to see the winner Is they fucking block the airspace over your house That's so baller So they fucking shut down the airspace over your house that's so baller so they fucking shut down the airspace over his house today because they were like okay biden i see you yo you think it's you you think trump's like yo where where the fucking where did it where's my airspace at well he's in the he's in the white house they always get the airspace but biden wherever he is is oh, those fucking planes are gone.

So pretty. The choppers are gone. I wish I could do that around my house. It's so quiet. Have you noticed during COVID how many fucking leaf blowers there are? I mean, come on, people. Enough with your fucking leaves. Just leave the leaves.

Leave the leaves. It's like a Seinfeld, but leave the leaves. Episode 10 of The Mandalorian came out this morning. I didn't see it yet. Have you watched episode 1? I did. I really liked it. Did you like Timothy Oliphant?

You know that I love Timothy Oliphant. You know that I made a movie with Timothy Oliphant. I know you did! I said to Joel on Twitter that I definitely felt my Kinsey scale shift. As did we all. I felt both my Kinsey scale and my penis shift

just gently. He is a handsome man. Not only is he a handsome man, he's getting hotter. Yeah, well, he's got that Pierce Brosnan freaking... No, but the gray. The gray is working for him. Where he gets more distinguished as he gets older.

But let me tell you something right now. He has graduated to a lot of Star Wars fans' most favorite character in Star Wars. Or one of them. Like, he's top ten all of a sudden. Really? That fast? Dude, the character was so dope, dude. I didn't know. Forgive me

because I'm not you and Jor-El. And it's a character that they made in a book. They wrote about the character in a book. That's all you know about him. I didn't know that it was Boba Fett's actual armor. Yeah, that's what made it fire, dude. Oh my god! I didn't know that until someone explained

it to me and that's why it was in the what are those people called? The Jaw me. And that's why it was in the, what's, what are those people called? They're big, big Jawa's in the Jawa ship. And that was Boba Fett at the end too, who turned around. I thought that was Django Fett. No,

Django Fett got his head sliced off. That was his clone Boba. I can't keep track of all this bullshit, but anyway, watch, watch, watch your mouth. It was really well done.

It's really well done. Watch your mouth. I mean, shout out to, you know, so Flo hates the sideshow collectibles Baby Yoda. She thinks it's really freaky. And he's going to have to move down to my office because I was keeping him in the living room. I think another reason that she wasn't liking it is that I was hiding him around dark corners. And every time she would come around, he'd be standing there on the ground. And after like three screams,

she was like, put this fucking thing away. Inappropriate. I just, I just, I just really wish you would watch your mouth when you talk about star Wars. I love that you curse so much, but when we're talking about your favorite, it's like you're like a religious

person. It's like we're talking about Bible characters so you're like, don't curse around the Bible. Well, it's just that I know what it's meant for and anytime I'm talking about this, if it's going to be listened to, I don't want people to, I want everybody to hear

my Star Wars message when I talk about it. I don't want it to be censored for anybody. That's how much I love Star Wars. And I would prefer it if that's how everybody else treated it too. The only way that any of the stuff that you say is going to really affect the people that Star Wars is made for is if you take some of the profanity out. I'm just putting it out there. Who is your least favorite character? Like, through all the movies, if you were like,

you know what, the motherfucker I hate the most is this guy. And don't say Jar Jar Binks because that's easy. No, I actually liked him. I think Jar Jar Binks is a character that needs to be revisited, to be honest with you. Okay, so then who? Who's your answer? Joel. I wish the audience could see Joel's's face it's so serious it's like it's a hard one well you know

uh that whole diner sequence in attack of the clones was a little weird even though they introduced a character with four arms which was really awesome uh that's a location but you could tell but you could tell that that dude had been in some type of battle and you know he had fought he wasn't just a cook he had skill so i can't even say i don't know dude i don't know who my i can't that's hard well that's very difficult audience i worry we're boring the audience we should move on to the show scrubs because that's why they're here. Oh, I know. I know. Oh. I already know. Out of all of it? Yeah.

The Knights of Ren. No! Okay. New topic for the show, because we are gonna have a whole conversation. Wow. Least favorite character? And this is why. And it's my least favorite character because they did nothing with it.

They really did nothing with it. Are we back on the same page? We're back on the same page. God damn it. Okay. Okay. They really did nothing with it. Now, for those of you who are titillated by this, if your nipples are perked up, one day

Donald and Joelle are going to have their own Star Wars podcast. By the way, do you know about this ESPN radio show slash TV show with Dan LeBattard and Stu Gatz? Yes. Stu Gatz. I don't even know who those people are. Some of those producers follow me on Twitter. It's a big –

Roy Bellamy. Bill, yeah. Shout out, Roy. Bill told me that this is a very big sports thing that you would know about. Oh, I know who Dan LeBattard is. Yeah. And apparently some of them are big Scrubs fans and even listen to this podcast.

Oh, yeah. Shout out Roy. Roy's the man. Who's Roy? I'm just kidding. I'm just fucking with you guys. Fuck. Put some respect on Roy Bellamy's name.

And also, they've been having Bill, because Bill now is like, you know, now he likes podcasts, because he's got his palate wet. So apparently Bill's been going on their podcast. he been going five six seven eight no but they literally he told me we were just as you saw we were just facetiming he goes they literally had him on a few days and they were like they were like we've been trying to get you on and he was like really and the producer goes yeah like five six seven eight times. That's adorable.

Well, apparently that's a big, I wouldn't know. It's a sports thing, but I thought you would know what that's about, Donald. Why don't you count us in to America's favorite theme song? I mean, speaking of five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made About a bunch of doctors and nurses And a janitor who loved to hate

I said,'s got stories That we all should know So gather round to hear our Gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch show with Zach and Donald Oh my goodness. Gabby doesn't listen on Friday. Oh, my God.

There she is, everybody. So ironic that we record on Friday. I wonder if Gabby's going to listen this Friday because all the other days she does. All right. Now we have to explain to everyone what the hell days she does. All right. Now we have to explain to everyone what the hell that's about. So you guys, as you know, Bill Lawrence shamed us for doing a podcast about scrubs and not having one of the writers on other than him. And we are so blessed to have our first non-Bill hilarious comic writer, Gabby Allen Greenberg. Hi there.

Thunderous applause, Dan. Turn your keys, Zach. Yes, thunderous applause. Now, Donald was just singing a song. Before we do anything, the writers' rooms, if you're not involved in TV writing at all, you wouldn't know, but TV writers' rooms are very silly, and there's lots of of inside jokes and 90% of the time is spent joking around. And then occasionally they write something for the show. And so there are lots of jokes and a song, I guess, Gabby, you'll have to tell us why

this song was written, but someone wrote a song called Gabby doesn't listen on Fridays. I mean, you know, a lot of these bits, the foundation's very thin. I'm not going to lie. You know, so, you know, you say something once and then it becomes lower. I think there was one Friday, you know, where I just didn't listen. I mean, it just might be as simple as that. Yeah. I might have been, I was pregnant a lot i feel like during scrubs so i

like maybe i was had a little bit of pregnancy brain and but yeah i think i did listen on fridays or one friday and then mike who would pretty much write a song about anything right mike schwartz mike schwartz uh which just took it and and and ran it. It's such a hooky song that here we are 20 years later I know the melody. And we're still singing and then there was also the other song the other thing that you non sequitur Mondays

what was that? I don't remember non sequitur Mondays I actually remember more words to the Gabby song Gabby doesn't listen on Fridays Gabby only listens the other four days. Oh, sorry. Six days. I didn't know if you were counting weekends or not.

It was a work week. No, we were counting, yeah. I didn't know if you were counting weekends. We counted weekends. I think it was, I mean, we'd have to ask Schwartz. Gabby only listens the other six days. And then there was some harmony. I mean, we really went for it it we spent a lot of time on

that we have there's a whole album i have to say that if i wasn't an actor i i think one of the most fun jobs in hollywood and you're going to correct us if i'm wrong but being in a writer's room being in a comedy writer's room with first of all you can be in one that's horrible where everyone's looking around going oh my god this sucks But when you're in a good one with a group of people that you find hilarious, it's the greatest job in the world, isn't it? It is the greatest job in the world. It really is. Yes, there are rooms that are no fun or tense, but the Scrubs room in particular was really fun. We loved each other. I mean, you are together a lot.

It does, every day does feel like a dysfunctional Thanksgiving dinner with your family because you're seated around that table and you get to know each other so well. Like you certainly get on each other's nerves after a while, but in a loving way, the way you are with family. But it is one of the most fun jobs. The first time I ever was in a room, I remember a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to sit in because I'd written a pilot and I was messing around

with looking into maybe doing it professionally. And he was running a pilot and he said, well, do you want to sit in on my pilot and just see what it's like sitting on the room? And back then there were not as many women in rooms back in the old days. And I was coming up. And so I walked in and it was a bunch of guys in sweatpants eating Chinese food and farting. And I was like, I'm home. And I said to my friend, this is a job. This is a job I could get paid for. Whenever we have people related to the show, and we always

talk about how they started and everything. And I know for a fact, there's a lot of people that listen to the show who aspire to be all sorts of entertainment writers, particularly a TV comedy writer, which, as I just said, is a pretty dope job. So tell people. And also, you're a woman, which, like you said, is still very hard, but much harder 20 years ago. So tell everyone about how it happened. How did you break in? Because you've had this amazing career. Well, I mean, it's just sexual favors.

Okay. That's how we did it. That's how we did it back then. That's how it was done back then. And I just want to be honest about what it took. I mean, because of what I had to sacrifice, I opened the door to women who don't have to do that now. But that's what I did.

Do you want to say you're welcome? Do you want to tell them you're welcome? Yeah. Okay, ladies. Is Bill Lawrence a gentle lover? that now but that's what I did do you want to say you're welcome? do you want to tell them you're welcome? okay ladies is Bill Lawrence a gentle lover? was Bill Lawrence a gentle lover? I didn't have to do it with Bill yeah which was kind of him yeah

no he just hired me based on my talent I think he did he loves you very much, as you know. I love him. And he was bragging about you. And I want to talk about all the fancy shows you've been writing on since.

Tell people, and keep in mind, most people who listen to the show aren't in the business at all. So how does one become a working, successful TV comment writer? How did you go? It's different for lots of people obviously what was your what was your process journey well before i answer that i

just want to say that it's really nice to see you guys it's good to see you too thank you for having me on oh no thank you for coming on thank you for being our first non-bill writer on the show i'm honored and flattered and it's really nice to see your faces. And that's Joelle. Hi, Joelle. Nice to meet you. And that's Dano right there. Hi there. Nice to meet you.

The dude dancing and the one that seems like he's not paying attention and he's freaking and doing a bunch of things. That's Dano. Yeah. If you're going to do random shit, can you at least turn off your camera? Dude, you're dancing in the fucking. I know. He's sitting there like this.

Don't drop the E during the show, bro. It's got to be. And you know it's got to be fucking house music because of the way he's dancing. No, I bet it's election related. Did something happen? It's like dropping. It's like he's waiting for that shit to drop. By the way, Gabby, just so you know, Dan will be watching while we're doing this.

Dan will be watching if there's anything he needs to tell us. Okay, so he's going to give us the breaking news? Yeah, exactly. Giving me a job and then accusing me of paying attention to something else.

I'm just saying, if you could refrain from, while we have a very fancy guest, doing what appears to be some sort of MDMA dance. Bass drop!

I'm keeping my cats activated. It's okay with me. Thank you. I appreciate that. Alright, Gabby, back to you. How did I break in? I always wrote as a hobby. I love to write. My grandfather was a writer.

That was something, even as a kid, I would write stories for fun. That was just even as a kid, I would write stories for fun. And so that was just always a hobby. And I was an actress for a bit and I would mostly do comedy. I was in a sketch comedy show. I would write my own material and did that for a while and and then um I started to move more into uh writing only and and moving away from auditioning so I wrote a pilot I gave it to a friend of mine to see if it was anything and um he thought it was something he didn't say it was good he said it was something. He didn't say it was good. He said it was something.

But he was encouraging. And that's when he asked me if I wanted to sit in to see if it was something I wanted to pursue. He thought that there was some potential. And I think, oh, well, I don't know if this would help anybody because it's probably unique to me, but I had gone to network for a pilot as an actor. I went and there was a lot of improv involved in the audition and I kept improv-ing. And they brought me back like six times and then they didn't give me the job. They kept bringing me back. Every time I would go back, there would be another shiksa goddess. I was like, I'm not going to just one after the other. Right.

So anyway, but I started punching up my own stuff and giving it to the writers and saying, can I try this joke if I go in this year? And so that friend who was doing that show said, well, do you want to just try this instead after I didn't get the job and, uh, like, yeah, you know, maybe it's time to just, uh, parlay into that. So, So what was the first show that you sat in on the writer's room for? That was, I think it was a pilot called youth and revolt. I don't think it went to series. Um,

but that was the pilot I sat in on and then the first job i had was um i was doing punch up just a couple days a week for the paulie shore sitcom that he had on fox he had a sitcom it was about uh him living with his dad and super hot stepmom. And he lost it after. I can see the problems might arise there, Gabby. There were a lot of complications. Yes, it sets up a lot of options. And the situations that happened that lent itself to comedy.

Yes. So I did that a couple days a week. You know, some of my favorite jokes on that show, I bet were written by you. Oh yes. I'm just kidding. I've never seen the show. On Pauly?

No. You just said you didn't see, you didn't even know there was a show. That was my first job. My second job was a show called Ask Harriet about a cross-dressing advice columnist. So like Tootsie kind of. It was a Tootsie, Tootsie.

Yeah, exactly. He had to dress up as a woman to get a job. Okay. I get it. Yeah, yeah. I did an after-school special once where I had to dress up as a woman in order to get a job. Wait, what was it?

It was called, the brilliant title was, and you can Google this if you think I'm lying. Um, just put my name and quote my summer as a girl. And really, what was the job that you had to dress up as a woman for? Um, they basically just robbed the plot of Tootsie,

um, except in not being entertainment. Um, it was, um, the last job on this little island. It was meant to be like a Cape Cod kind of thing, was as a chambermaid. And Barbara Barry, if you remember her, the actress, she was running the inn.

And there was a really hot girl that my character had a crush on. And there was only one job left, and it was to be a chambermaid, which I guess is like a housekeeper type maid. And so I had the idea and I went full Tootsie. And, you know, the after school specials are always trying to teach you a lesson, the kids. So the lesson in this one was that my character had to learn what it was like to how to respect women because he was going to be mistreated by men when he was

dressed as a woman or girl boy, because we were supposed to be teenagers, but it was, it's a masterpiece. If you ever get a chance, I can't wait to watch that. Yeah. The story had to be told.

I hope we can find it somewhere. I don't know. You'll find it. Well, there's probably YouTube clips, but you can find the picture. You can find that. I was kind of hot. Although some people said I look like Heather Matarazzo, who I love, but I thought that I, I don't know if I agree with that. When I dress up and put

lipstick and stuff like that on, I just look like my mom, dude. Really? I think you'd be really pretty. By the way, sorry to digress for a second and don't think any, I hope you don't find this disrespectful. But your wife, no, Donald, your wife posted a picture on Instagram that was like fire, dude. Oh. She broke the internet, dude. Yeah, listen, man. She didn't break the internet. What is going on over there, dude?

She broke the internet a little bit. Nah. And I love how she tried to make it about the baby because she's like in a bikini and she knows her body's obviously fire and she's holding her baby and she's like, it's still warm in LA. And everybody's like, holy shit, Casey. Wait, Donald, how many kids do you have now?

Eleven. Eleven. No, shut up. How many? I have six kids now. Oh my God. Four of my kids are adults. He's only got two littles. I have two kids now. Oh, my God. Four of my kids are adults. They're grown. Okay, okay. He's only got two littles. I have two little ones.

But anyway, do you have a comment on your wife's thirst trap? Because I fell for it. Well, now I have to look this up. I fell for it. I actually wrote, damn, Donald. Yes. It was a thirst trap, wasn't it? Yes, it was.

Thirst trap, wasn't it? Yes, yes. Well, you know, we talk about it. You talked about it a few times on the podcast. Peloton is a big thing in our house now. And where I slack, she 100% commits. Did you spin today, by the way? I did not spin today.

I did spin today. But guess who did? She did. Absolutely. And I did too. By the way, I'm using that guy you recommended. What's his name? Cody. I did spin today. But guess who did? She did. Absolutely. And I did too. By the way, I'm using that guy you recommended. What's his name? Cody.

He's fucking funny as shit. He's fucking hilarious, right? I love that guy. Cody makes me laugh so hard, dude. He's my new favorite. I was using the British gal for a while, and now I'm on to Cody because he makes me laugh. All right, sorry. We should probably get into the show, dude.

We got to talk about the show. Gabby, wait. Gabby. Sorry, Gabby. Sorry. If you've ever heard the show, we don't really follow any linear. I had heard the show, gotta talk about the show gabby wait gabby sorry gabby sorry we if you've ever heard the show we we don't really follow any linear ironically i've heard the show and we're talking to a writer and we don't follow anything linear here um so just talk to us uh

so how did what was the job was scrubs your first big break yes yes okay it was and then um and you did how many seasons of scrubs did you before you were stolen away i did many seasons of Scrubs did you do before you were stolen away? I did four seasons of Scrubs. Now, did you leave or were you stolen? Were you like, I'm out? No, what happens is they start throwing money. When you're on a hit show and you're a writer, they start going, you know what? They're paying you that bullshit. You know, we'll pay you.

Right. That's what happened. It was a combination of having a baby, the, you know, hours on sitcoms are long and yeah. So I did, I left to develop my own stuff. Um, but I ended up coming back to do, I think a couple episodes, um, after I'd had Ted, my son, my first born son. Um, so I, I would say all in all, then I did some part time. I was in and out.

I did like five seasons, five or six seasons. And then what shows were you on after? You said, did you say parks? No, I was on, I didn't write on a show for a long time after, not a long time, but for a few years because, because of the baby. So I was writing movies with, I partnered up with Jen Crittenden. We started writing movies um which i partnered up with jen crittenden we started writing movies and then the first tv job we came back to do was um we were we wrote on divorce the

um sarah jessica parker show for hbo and then we wrote on veep and and that's the last staff i've been on was veep which well that's a pretty darn good show to be on. That's one of my favorites. Wow. That was really fun. If you haven't watched Veep, you need to watch Veep because I think the humor overlaps with that of Scrubs and you, except it's like, it could be so much more

R-rated. Not in terms of sexuality but in terms of language because it's a curse. No, yeah, there was a lot of language. There was a curse every other word and it's fucking hilarious and the every single cast member is so talented and i highly recommend uh veep to you now more than ever because it really spoofs politics well you know i mean everything that that they did on the show before we were there and then while we were there um has happened i mean everything everything this whole nevada i mean i don't know yeah the counting thing they'd stop the count wait continue counting

thing i saw people were posting this was a shtick on veep they did that's one of the best veep episodes i wasn't there when they did that episode that i said but that was one of the best veep episodes ever that one killed me and that's very relevant. I mean, so many, I mean, we had an episode last season, our last season where Jonah, uh, had a, uh, went around getting everybody sick. He was horribly contagious while he was campaigning. I mean, he did like daylight. I mean, it's just on and on and on. Every, everything. But I really, really highly recommend that show and everybody. It's very, very funny. All right. We have to start talking about the episode of scrubs because that's what people come here for. All this other stuff, that's just for us.

Now people really want to hear, other than that Casey looks fire on Instagram, they want to hear us chat about the show. Dude, why? Why, man? I'm just saying you married well, bro. You married well. I did alright, man. She loves me.

I'm a lucky man. You can wash your clothes on them abs. I did all right, man. Okay? She loves me. I'm a lucky man. Okay? You got abs. You can wash your clothes on them abs. I'm going to start talking about your girlfriend's ass now. How about that? Would you like that? No.

Okay. I'm uncomfortable. But it's ridiculous. Oh, my God. Okay. Listen, man. My wife is doing a thing, and it's not me doing that shit. So you talking about it to me is irrelevant. Tell her.

Congratulate her. Not me. She's putting in the work. I'm just saying separately from our friendship, I'm also really good friends with Casey, and I'm impressed with how fire she looks. So shout out to Casey. Well, you need to tell Kate. Right, right. I do.

I do. This is a great way to do it is to talk, but you know, she doesn't listen to the podcast. So she's never, I know. I'll send her a text. Let's take a break.

Do you want to do the recap? Oh, sorry. I forgot. All right. So, Gabby, as you know from being our number one fan, Donald does a 37-second recap of the show. Donald, are you ready?

I'm starting the timer. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Go. JD and Danny are really starting to get to know each other. Turk and Carla are talking about children. Dr. Cox and Jordan aren't having sex because of just having children. Turk and JD both have big wins in the hospital. Elliot wants her big win and jumps at every opportunity to get

it. Dr. Cox hurts his back and Carla wants children. These events lead Dr. Cox and Carla to one inevitable conclusion. They're getting old. I couldn't really pinpoint just one overall theme in this episode, but I identified with so much. Cox getting old. I feel't really pinpoint just one overall theme in this episode, but I identified with so much. Cox getting old. I feel like him more nowadays than I do Turk. We all have dreams of hitting the proverbial big shot, not recognizing

that it often comes with consequences for someone else. But let's get past all of that. Let's say you finally get your chance at the big show. Can you bounce back when it doesn't go your way? That's great. You know what?

Even though that was like nine minutes long. I know because I kept. We're not editing that because I wanted to be a PSA for kids not to smoke weed. But listen. We're not talking about marijuana. I just was telling that to you. You're FYI. Listen, motherfucker.

Listen, Dick. We're not editing that out. But I like to use the word bounce because it all started with basketball. Now, I should mention. No, but I was going to say that also. It starts off with, it starts off, how do you bounce? You know, the show starts off with a basketball scene and he hurts himself. And throughout the show, he shows, I'm not going to let my back, Cox that is, I'm not going to let my back distract me from having to do all of these things that I want to do, right? And throughout the show,

Elliot's playing a game where she wants to win just like Turk and JD do. And when she gets her opportunity, when finally it's there, it looks like she's not going to get it. And then JD's like, no, you know what? Here's your shot at it. And she does everything right, and it still doesn't go her way. Like Cox in the beginning, can you stand up tall, even though you have all of this weight on your shoulders keeping you down and hurting you, can you stand up tall and continue to push forward? Well said. Well, Gabby, you wrote the damn thing.

What do you think? I did? Yeah. I don't. Your name's on the. None of that sounds familiar. Did you watch the episode? I messed up.

Gabby, did you watch the episode? I don't know. You didn't watch the episode. Oh, God. We try and give the guests homework here, Gabby. I didn't get my homework. It's all right. Well, we'll tell you all about it, and you can weigh in.

Yeah, the episode opens with – well, first of all, I think that's well said, Donald. I also wrote down that one of the themes of the episode is holding on to your youth, themes of the episode is holding on to your youth. And, or, or at least the passage of time in terms of Cox wanting and lamenting being old, Carla lamenting her age, whereas Sarah wanting to step up and be a grownup and be an adult and be a

real quote, a real quote unquote doctor. And it's about those new chapters of life as we as we age and grow um so i don't know yeah i mean it's it's about you know there are a lot of there are a lot of things that i identify with this you know cox cox's storyline and this is it's not just the back thing it's also the whole sex thing with the wife when it's not necessarily you know what i mean him just thinking about himself and not thinking about you know what his wife is going through and thinking that offering himself up as a solution to anything is is is is enough at that moment in time you know what i mean so like i i

i i very much identify with Cox in this episode. I try to hide when I'm injured now. I try, you know, I try. And you probably can't play. You've stopped playing basketball. I do. I have stopped playing basketball. Not just that.

Well, yeah, I have stopped just playing basketball. But not just that. You know, I'm working on this partnership of marriage, you know, as far as what's appropriate and, you know, how my wife likes to be treated. There was a time where we were young and things were accepted, and now it's like I say shit, and she looks at me like, you're like a school on Saturday. You know what I mean?

No class? No class. That's right. No class. No class. Just filling that in. The accident, the episode opens with a green screen in the car that is so bad it almost looks like a spoof. I thought it was great.

I look back at that like that was a great moment for me because I remember we was, I remember shooting that. Oh, I remember that. I do. I remember that. Yeah. I remember the accident. Yeah. And do you remember that the stock footage of the car accident is from Vanilla Sky, bizarrely, the Cameron Crowe movie with Tom Cruise? Does somebody fall out of – nobody falls out of the car.

No, the car – if you remember in Vanilla Sky, the car goes off a bridge and then hits a wall beneath the bridge, okay? I think it's Cameron Diaz, right? And I guess that footage is just available to license. And whoever edited this episode was like, oh, that car accident looks like a good thing for us to cut to. Not knowing that

everyone would be like, well, that's a very famous car accident that's from Vanilla Sky. Oh, I didn't know. I didn't know that. You might have to go a little deep and look on Scrubs Wiki, but I didn't know. I didn't know that. Well, you might have to go a little deep and look on Scrubs Wiki, but I didn't know that without looking at Scrubs Wiki. But I thought it was really interesting how the background in the car, because that was clear that we were shooting on the green screen. Right. When I jump out of the car and I'm rolling in the street, the cars in the background react.

Yeah. And this is like 20 years ago, dude. So you know that CG wasn't on point to where they could make cars look real so i wonder where they got that footage from well it was it was definitely a 2002 effort but um it wasn't horrible which means it was a great effort i thought it looked great me personally what about bearded elliot gabby you remember that elliot um elliot decides that she's she's not taking her birth control pill for a full – how long was it? I forgot how long it was.

It was like she forgot while she was on vacation. So when she got back, she – She took them all. She took them all. Yeah. And you asked her how it went. And then she said – and it cuts to her in the mirror looking like Boy George. Like Boy – with the hat. But she even has the hat on and everything, dude. She even has the hat on. looking like Boy George.

But she even has a hat on and everything, dude. She even has a hat on. The costume was amazing. It was very 80s, but she also has a full beard and it's homecoming. And they're knocking on the door going, honey, your homecoming date's here. She's like, tell him I'll be right down. No, she goes, stall him! Stall him! Stall him and she puts on

shaving cream. Hey, guys, I'm sorry. My computer is getting taken over. It's wild. I don't know what's happening. No! Interrupting Bill. He's interrupting. Interrupting Bill.

That's Strangers of the Night. It cost about a billion dollars for your podcast. Hey, Gabby. Hey, Zach. Hey, Donald. Hey, Daniel. Hey, Gabby. Hey, Zach. Hey, Donald. Hey, Daniel. Hey, Joelle. Hey, 5678. No, no, no, no, no, no. We have a guest. Got it out of the way.

Turn that stuff on. Look, I think my podcast is going great. I'm happy to have Gabby, Donald, and Zach on it as a guest. I'm happy that you guys are finally having a writer on the show. I got two questions for you. One is a guest. I'm happy that you guys are finally having a writer on the show. I got two questions for you. One is a question.

One, I want to force Gabby to tell the story of how she was put on maternity leave right now. Okay, yeah. Oh, you want me to tell that right now? Okay, why were you put on maternity leave? I mean, I know why you were put on maternity leave. What is he talking about? okay why were you put on maternity leave um i mean i know why you're put on the tour what's he talking about yeah the circumstances were the uh so i was incredibly pregnant uh towards you know i was in my eighth month and i would waddle into work every day and go right to that

disgusting couch do you remember that disgusting couch that we found a possum in yeah oh god i did not know about that. Yeah. There's nothing glamorous about a TV writer's room. It looks and smells like a frat house. In an abandoned hospital. Yeah. So I would,

every day I would waddle in and then go right to the couch and fall asleep. And, and the couch was sort of behind Bill's chair. And then I don't remember how many times I did that, but, um, it was, I finally tested Bill's patient. It was one too many times for Bill. And I walked in, I'd driven all the way there, walked in, I waddled in, I got on the couch and he turned around, he swiveled in his chair towards me. And he said, go home. You're officially on maternity leave. I do not want to see you again until you have a baby.

All right. So I just got my stuff and I waddled out and then I didn't come back for months. And that was that. That was my maternity leave. He couldn't take me anymore. He's like, you can't just come in here and go to sleep on the couch. I can't look at you anymore. And it was too uncomfortable for everybody.

That was my maternity leave. All right. Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Bill. Go ahead. I hope she used the word waddle because she would waddle in and then get on the couch behind me and immediately go to sleep. That's how it would work. Circle gets to square, Bill. And then two,

here's the question for you. Can you tell me why the storyline of having Neil Flynn's character be an actor that was in the movie The Fugitive made different people's head explode as far as the janitor's name goes yes because if neil flynn is the person credited as being the cop at the end of fugitive and he admits that he's the cop at the end of the fugitive then the janitor's name is neil flynn that is correct donald. So many people then started contacting me and saying that we had written ourselves into a corner because that meant that the janitor's actual name was Neil Flynn.

Because in the credits of The Fugitive, it says that that cop that gets shot, Kimbo, is played by Neil Flynn. But I maintain that if you watch this episode, the janitor lies constantly. And Neil Flynn was simply the janitor's fake actor name. And still is. Because the janitor's a real character. He's playing the long time. I miss you guys.

Keep having writers on there. I love you. Thank you for doing my show. Please send the checks directly to my house. I love you. Thank you for doing my show. Please send the checks directly to my house. Because you know what Bill needs, guys? Cash. More money.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel bad for them. I hope it's going to be okay. I hope they're going to be okay over there. They're going to make it? Yeah. When I watched it today, they cut the scene out where we're watching the fugitive at the end, and you look and see his name in the credits.

Was it in your version at all? No, I never saw that. Wasn't there a scene where we go to the credits and it says in the credits, janitor, as it's going up? No. We may have shot that. I don't think that's in the episode. Oh, okay. Well, let's ask bill that all right all right no problem it's a great question donald

i gotta be honest you carry this show you carry it donald um and i'm grateful for you guesting on my show the uh um we did not uh record a scene of you guys watching the credits and seeing Neil Flynn's name. But you and me and Zach and other people on set, we goofed and bandied about that idea because we were a little ahead of it. And I remember distinctly talking about the fact that people are going to think they know that the janitor's name is Neil Flynn now. And they did.

They reacted with an uproar. But they're wrong. They're wrong. His name glenn mafoof i feel terribly that i didn't watch the episode yeah you're supposed to watch the episode but it's okay i know but you know what i'm supposed to i didn't know that did you guys tell i didn't know i'm sorry well we just assume i do want to say even though i care about you a great deal that you're not the you're not really crushing the assignment as best first writer because you didn't watch an episode great deal, that you're not really crushing the assignment as best first writer because you didn't watch an episode of the show that you yourself wrote. Well, I didn't know I was supposed to. But you said you listened to the show, though. You know it's a rewatch show.

Gabby, I'm going to quote the lyrics to America's favorite song. Scrubs rewatch show with Zach and Danu. I'm sorry. I really failed. This is terrible. I feel like every other writer is going to know. Well, every other writer will be told what we will now call the Gabby.

I bet you Neil will be better prepared. I bet you Neil will be better prepared. Gary Bonifant will be very prepared. We will tell them, we will use

what will from here on be called the Gabby example about how you need to watch the episode. This is terrible. I'm not going to lie though, Gabby, I'm just happy the Gabby example about how you need to watch the episode. This is terrible. I'm not going to lie, though. Gabby, I'm just happy. I'm just so happy you're on the show. We're just happy to see you.

We're so happy. I'm happy to be here. I'm sorry I'm failing you guys. No, no, you're wonderful. No, you're not. You're doing such a great job. Listen, as a fellow member of the tribe, as a fellow member of the tribe, I don't want you to spiral all weekend about this. You are amazing. Oh, you're so kind. You understand what we go through. What we'll probably do is what we'll probably do is hire a sound alike and and that edits some some knowledgeable things from the episode in

okay that would be great and i don't have to throw myself off all right look we're gonna go to a break yeah we're gonna break and when we come back we have a fan gabby you don't listen to the show but we have a fan that has questions and uh I bet you the fan watched the fucking episode.

All right, let's – Oh, okay. I can do that. Yeah, so you're probably good at giving advice to your mom. Both guests. Oh, both guests. Joelle, what do you have cooked up here today? What's going on here, Joelle? Oh, it's a couple.

Oh, I thought you had two different... They have a sweet story and then... Oh my gosh. Hello, Lauren McCormick and Sam McCormick! Hi, Lauren. I was told they sucked that. Welcome to the show!

Oh my God, your fucking eyeballs are going to pop out of your head. Remember in Pee Wee's Big Adventure when Large Marge goes like that? That's what happened to Donald. You guys, welcome to the program. In addition to Daniel and Joelle and Donald and I, you have one of our all-star writers, Gabby Greenberg, right there. And Gabby Allen Greenberg. Sorry.

It's a married hyphenate. And tell us, we hear you guys have some special story involving your love. Yeah, pretty much. Let me guess. You guys are on two different coasts and are married. I'm just going off the top here. I'm thinking this is just me coming up with that idea. It's like a Sleepless in Seattle type situation, but only over Zoom. Am I correct?

No, that's me. Yeah, kind of. Well, not that dramatic, probably. Tell us what the story is, guys. Yeah, go ahead, Anne. Yeah, so we're both doctors. We met at university. So we did a degree before we did medicine.

So we met during that. And I had never seen Scrubs beforehand. Neither has Gabby. I'm very ashamed to say that. But Sam was absolutely obsessed from, like, Scouted. Scouted, yeah. So, yeah, we watched a lot of Scrubs in the early days of going out. And he bought me the DVD box set.

And Scrubs just became, like, our thing. So whenever we got into medicine, it was really good because we were able to answer some of the questions. So we watched Scrubs on all of our study breaks and basically got us through uni. Scrubs has been a really, really big part of our study and our relationship.

And now you guys are married? Yeah. Sam, you look like you're at work because you're in Scrubs. Yeah, I just finished like like you're at work because you're in the scrubs. Yeah. I just finished like half an hour ago. I just finished 12-hour shift. And where are you guys based?

So I'm the Ulster Hospital. So we're Northern Ireland. So my hospital is just outside Belfast. And Sam's is two hours away from there. Oh, no. So I'm not wrong So you're not... So I'm not wrong about you guys not being together, am I? It's not a big country, but we're on opposite sides, yes.

So usually when couples come on the show, they're sitting right next to each other and everything. So how often do you get to see one another? It sort of depends. So I live... We live quite close to where I work so i'm home pretty much every night um obviously it's not sustainable really for sam to drive up and down two hours yeah yours one way twice a day um so really just whenever we're off together which really doesn't

happen very often so oh my god next weekend i am on and sam's off and that just never really Wow. Well how long do you want to be doctors for? Yeah you need to retire Fuck this Hopefully the marriage will last longer than the marriage Oh the marriage I can tell already through your zoom

vibe that y'all gonna to be together for a while. He was already like, go ahead, baby. Whatever you want to say, go ahead, say it. If you guys stay apart, it'll last a long time. Yeah, that's true. You won't annoy each other. But I feel sad about it. It made me think of that song from American Tail.

Somewhere out there beneath the pale blue night. Sing it. Someone's thinking of me and wishing me good night. Sing it. Go ahead. And even though I know how very far apart we are. Very close, yes. It helps to think we might be wishing on a bright star. And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Oh, somewhere out there. This is for y'all. Donald still remembers the harmony. This is for Sam and Lauren. If love can see us through. Love can see us. Then we'll be together. All right, all right, enough, enough.

We're about to get sued. We're about to get sued by the Don Bluth movie American Tail. I always think of star-crossed lovers at least we're looking at the same moon. That's why I think of you guys. When you say star-crossed lovers, that reminds me

of another thing. I hate to do this to Lauren, but it also reminds me of Taylor Swift because that's what I thought she said. Got a long list of ex-lovers. I thought she said something like star-crossed lover. Is this too? I'm going. The weed's kicking in. Now, you guys don't

have probably legal weed in Northern Ireland, but Donald really partakes in Los Angeles. They're also doctors, dude. They're doctors, man. You can get an abortion now, right? So that's good. Oh.

I think so. We need to bring it down. All right, anyway. It's a great issue. I personally would rather get high, but whatever. We take our victories where we can. Okay. All right.

Do you guys have a question for any of us? Yeah. Do you want to a question for, uh, for any of us? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so we had our honeymoon in Disney world last summer, December 2nd. So we're big Disney fans, big theme park fans. Wait, Disney world where, uh, Orlando? Florida. Florida. Yeah. Um, so if there was any kind of theme park attraction or area that you could create, what would it be?

Oh, if you could create, you're speaking to the right guy, Don. What would you create? And you can't say Star Wars because please. It's got to be Star Wars. Why can't I say Star Wars? Okay, I guess you can. Sam's the guest. He says it can.

Sam, are you a big Star Wars fan as well? Yeah, huge. Okay, so what are you going to create? Are you getting The Mandalorian already? Yes. Have you been watching it already? Yeah, I watched the first episode. You haven't seen the second one yet?

Don't bore the fans, Donald. What world are you going to create of a theme park? First of all, fuck you. Second, if I had to build a world and it was a theme park, I would want to build a very, very immersive world in some type of future reality type thing it

doesn't necessarily have to be star wars but just something something different i think if we go future you can go heavy roller coaster you can go heavy simulator you can go heavy you know or i mean because west world the only way that works is if it's all like, you know, if you can get that deep into a universe, that would be great. But I would personally want to do something futuristic and something that's a little bit of a darker future for us where we're cybernetic. Like Ready Player One kind of thing thing sounds like what you're saying i like that idea but i also like the idea of like elysium or uh uh what was the one with uh district nine i like that type those are those are some uh really dope sci-fi movies to me and that seems like that could be our future with all this pollution that we're doing and all of these you know all of this uh looking into cloning and looking into cybernet

you know we can build legs now we're working on arms i feel like that would be more of our future so i would want to build something that i think would be close to it and see if i was right like back to the future was pretty close to the cubs winning the World Series. I would want to be close to something like... Alright, I'm going to go the opposite way and say I would build the Goonies amusement park. Oh, yes. That's pretty good, dude. All Goonies. That's pretty good, dude. Wow. And you would go on the

quest, everything. Chester Copperpot. It would be... You would be trying to find Chester Copperpot with your group. It would combine... Oh, you would actually do like a real... Like the real Goonies movie? Yeah, bro. You would go straight Goonies. It would combine. Oh, you would actually do like the real Goonies movie? Yeah, bro. You would just go scavenger hunt and make it sick. No.

It's the size of Disneyland, but it's Goonies. If that's the case, I would do Total Recall. Okay. If you're going to go movies. Okay. Next question, guys. Next question. Did playing doctors ever make you want to actually be a doctor or no have any thoughts about it no fair if anything playing a doctor made me realize i did

not want to be a doctor well for me you guys you guys have a very difficult job that requires saving people and there's a lot of pressure in that and sometimes you're going to fail and uh i don't know how well i could handle that and you have to have a lot of uh stamina and a lot of constitution to be able to do such things and i actually did cpr on someone and uh they did not survive yeah are you Are you serious? Yeah. I never told you that story. Are you serious, Zach? Yeah. I was a part of a rescue squad team in high school. I was the junior person. So don't get me wrong. They were paramedics. They were EMTs. And I was like the cadet. They had a cadet program to train. It was kind of this show, 17, 18-year-olds,

would you want to pursue medicine? That's how I saw it. And I went on about, I don't know, about a hundred calls and only maybe five of them were super serious. And then on one of them, I was one of the people participating in doing CPR, obviously with paramedics and EMTs next to me, but we all took turns with the compressions. And that person did not ever come back. And I think early on I was like, wow, I don't know that I could have this be a regular part of my life. And I've always, always had such admiration for people that could do that. That's some hero stuff right there, man. That's true hero stuff.

The other aspect of it is that I think Donald and i would both admit that we're not academics in and the amount of school and well you're more i could you you're you're at your academic level is way more than mine you graduated northwestern right i graduated professional children's school and a lot of that shit was on favors from my teachers all right well i i can say that neither one of us uh had the the uh commitment to studying that you guys needed to have. And so we applaud our medical heroes for that and for being able to do CPR and sometimes not bring someone back and go, okay, onward. Here we go. And I think we all applaud that.

All right. What kind of medicine are you guys in before we move forward? So over here, we do like, yeah, foundation training. And then you decide sort of what you want to do after that and specialize. So we're still within the like foundation training. So we haven't actually subspecialized yet, but yeah, there's a lot of choice for sure. Not too far off where these characters are in Scrubs at the moment.

Oh, you guys are very, you guys are like three years in. Internship if you know. Got it. Well, I think you guys need to have your lives fixed because we got to solve this separated thing. Gabby, we do a segment now called Fix Your Life and it's time. Donald,

ready? It is time to Fix Your Life! And I don't know if you're going to bring up this separated lovers thing, but how can we help? Okay. So my wife asks me pretty much every day when we can have kids. Yeah. When you can have kids?

Yeah. Wait, does your wife know about Lauren? Abby. Abby, there she is. Wait, does your wife know about Lauren? Gabby. Gabby, there she is. There's our girl. I have a very good idea. It's definitely in our future, but I also think with being on all sides of the country

and very difficult schedules, it's tough right now, but I guess I know Donald or Daz, both you guys. Wait, Daniel, you're a dad? No. No? Daniel's not a dad. Donald's our resident dad.

I'm the only dad on the podcast. You panicked. I love how Daniel's face was like, fuck my life. Oh, no. Hello? What's your question what how can we help is there ever a good time to have what to have kids yeah or do you just have to make the time uh wow uh gabby you could totally talk about this yeah let's give gabby a chance to talk because gabby gabby this is something gabby can speak to.

It's like the only thing I can speak to. No, you can speak on so many things. Look, when it happens, it happens. No matter when it happens. If you want it to happen and it happens, it's always a great thing, you know. And sometimes a surprise is a great thing, too. I'm someone who's had several surprises in his life and so uh and they all are the most amazing things that i've ever experienced uh over and over

again and so um if you guys are into it and you want to do it it's always a good time. If you're not into it and it just so happens, yeah, you have a decision to make, but that's a good time too, you know? And you're never ready. You're never prepared. And so it doesn't matter. Gabby, what about you? What are your thoughts on it? I think if you want to do it, you do it and you just make it work. It's one of those things, is it ever a good time? I mean, for me personally, I really felt, and I know it's different for everybody and everyone's situations are so different. But for me, I really felt like I was ready.

I really wanted to have children. I felt ready to have children. And life is always going to throw you curveballs and things are going to shift and I was ready. I really wanted to have children. I felt ready to have children. And, you know, life is always going to throw you curve balls and things are going to shift and change. And you just, I think you just have to have the attitude that you'll make it work no matter what you do, what you have to do, if that's what you want. And, you know, but nobody knows better than you guys if it's the right time. And I will say, you know, it's the most annoying, hardest job ever, ever. But, you know, it's it's one that you will you never regret. I mean, you were always you were always happy.

You can't imagine. It's like it's like you can't imagine your life without it and you don't want to but man is it it's hard so i'm not gonna sugarcoat it you know it's hard it's great and it's great donald i mean like it's great and it's and then when you're bitching and bitching and bitching and bitching about it all the time then you miss every phase terribly like my kids are now 13 and 16 and i'm desperately miss like having the littles and the pedal time. And I'm watching them, you know, uh, you know, have autonomy and they don't want to hang out with me anymore. And it's horribly heartbreaking, uh, after bitching for years about how I had no free time. So, you know, it's, it's just, um, uh, but it's,

it's the greatest thing if you want it's it's the greatest thing if you want it it's the greatest thing so i guess my advice would be just make sure you really want it and then you'll make it work no matter what i guess you know never again we never really get huge ringing endorsements for having children no because everybody who has children everybody who comes on is like it's all no but you know what because you what you get from people is the truth though man that shit is the hardest thing you're ever gonna do in your life man and and and gabby's right kids are so fucking annoying it's ridiculous man like so annoying like to the point where you want to strangle them like you want literally you want

to grab them and choke them but then you're like but then i won't have this anymore and i have to have this forever you know absolutely it's like it's like it's uh it's uh it's such a i'm salivating that's how much i love my children i think like everything in life you just have to go into it knowing that, and I think this is what people don't talk about. And that's why I like to talk about it. Honestly, is that there's, there's your, it's you gain so much and that's the part that, you know, is, is amazing and you'll never look back on regret, but you know,

you lose something too. And I think you always have to weigh those things with every big step in life. You know, you're going to, you're, you're going to gain while you lose and it's complicated and you just kind of, I think you would go in with your eyes open, then you, it'll, it's, it's, it's awesome. But, um, it, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. But you're right about that. You are going to, you are, you do lose something, but you're going to get it back. But when you get it back,

it's just like you said, you miss everything. That's why maybe, you know, having this podcast is like birth control. Gabby froze. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. Gabby froze. No! No, we lost Gabby. Get her backby get her back get her back can I say something

really quick yeah yeah I just want to thank you guys for making this podcast so like when when COVID started

the first time around the first lockdown the news was depressing to be honest I stopped listening to the news it was hard to go to work every day

knowing the cases that were coming in so I started to listen to the podcast every day on the way to work and I still do um it's it's the perfect length of an hour and a half to get me to from home to work uh yeah thank you so much for making this oh you're very sweet that's very nice of you you're a very nice man and thank you for dedicating your life to helping people uh we really really thank you and we love doing it. And the fact that people feel that way, especially, especially people in the medical field, it warms our hearts. So thank you very,

very much. All right. And I hope one day that I'm as soft-spoken as you are. I don't think it's going to happen. I'm a loud mouth. I can be obnoxious. But one day when I grow up, I want to be soft-spoken and maybe have an Irish accent. I really hope you guys get to spend some more time together. Yeah. Can't you get a job at the same hospital? Can Donald make a call?

I mean, how do we get you? I got clout in Ireland. I'm going to tell you right now. I got that clout. They love Donald in Ireland. It'm going to tell you right now. I got that clown movie. They love Donald in Ireland. It won't be like this forever. Yeah, one day. One day.

One day. All right, guys. We got to go. But thank you so much and good luck. Thank you so much. Send us pictures when you do decide to have a baby. We want to see. We will.

We will. Bye, guys. Bye, Tim and Lori. Bye. Very sweet people. My computer froze. Did you watch the episode real quick? In your time away were you able to watch the episode? Look you guys know I don't listen on Fridays

Oh Okay We have a new verse of the song Gabby doesn't watch episodes she's supposed to watch on Fridays You knew what you were getting into It's Friday I told you Gabby you know something that I remember You knew what you were getting into. It's Friday. I told you.

All right, look, let's get back. You know something that I remember just to go back into this. Yeah. You're a big Star Wars fan. I am a big Star Wars fan. I knew that. I remember. I did remember that because I remember being blown away and being like,

I remember we were outside and we were filming outside. It was one of your shows. And I was like, and you said something about Star Wars. And I was sitting at Video Village and I turned around and I kept trying to have conversations with you guys about it. But there was work to be done. But I was staying at Video Village. And I said a few things and you're like, oh, absolutely. And then you ran off with something else.

And I was like, holy shit, she's a real Star Wars fan. This isn't just, you know. I'm a real Star Wars fan. I'm not as big a fan as you because I haven't. It's definitely, it's way, you know, just, I don't watch The Mandalorian, but. You should. I heard it's great. As someone who's not into star Wars,

it's the thing I like most to be honest. Oh, really? Yeah. I find it very, very entertaining and it's incredibly executed. And, uh, as a film geek, they're, they're doing things the way they're shooting it. Technologically is like, so brand new and interesting and probably the future of of the way they're going to do visual effects oh wow and so it's uh it's john favreau is just you know uh killing it and um and i just think it's really well done it's just crazy when you talk like when you say that when you say john favreau doing this that's one of those who knew you know what i mean he's kind of like george lucas who knew that they're his tech and the things that he experienced while doing Lion King and

all of that stuff would be at the forefront. He's not just making cinema and television and movies and stuff like that. He's reinventing it. Yeah, but it's even more than the tech he learned on all that stuff they're doing with Lion King and Jungle Book. It's like, you know, there's no green screen. No, I know. If you want to geek out, watch behind the scenes of the Mandalorian videos. Oh, no, I have. No, I'm telling the audience. First of all, it's all, everything you see, like, as an example, the stormtroopers with

Jason Sudeikis in the middle of the desert, there's no desert. There's no, it's all on stage. There's no exteriors. I mean, if there's exteriors, it's contained in a very small area. It is all, and there's no desert. There's no, it's all on stage. There's no exteriors. I mean, if there's exteriors, it's contained in a very small area. It is all, and there's no green screen. It is unbelievable technology. And if you're a film geek,

it's something you should watch because it's definitely going to be how more and more things are made. We should probably talk about Scrubs for a second, probably, right? This episode? Yeah, let's get into it. Shaft! Donald Faison doing a big Shaft number.

Who is the doc that won't cop out when no attendants are about? Turk! Damn Skippy. I have never seen a Shaft film. Not even the ones with Sam Jackson? I don't know if that's controversial or not. No, I've never seen... Dude, the one with Sam Jackson,

the first Shaft movie with Sam Jackson is everybody's introduction to Jeffrey Wright. I suggest you go and check that shit out. The one with Sam Jackson in it. The first Shaft movie, Jeffrey Wright plays the bad guy. Kristen Bale's in it

too. Jeffrey Wright and and and uh what's the oh man, oh she's such a great actress. How could I forget her name? Is it Vanessa Williams? No. No, but I'm saying did you watch it as a

child? She might be in it too though. She's such a great actress. Did you as a child watch any of these? No, but I know who Richard Roundtree is., did you watch it as a child? She might be in it too, though. She's such a great actress. Did you as a child watch any of these? No, but I know who Richard Roundtree is. But did you watch Joelle or Danil? I'm assuming not you, Gabby. Did you guys watch these sort of- No, I wasn't allowed to. Oh, yes.

I wasn't allowed to watch some of them because of the content as a youth. But as I got older, yes, absolutely. Yeah, my dad did not bother with ratings or anything. We watched all of the action movies, like starting at six. We watched Stormtroopers when it came out. So we definitely watched a lot of Shaft.

Similarly, after the fact, when I was a little bit older, my dad was like, let me show you some other stuff. I was like, okay, cool. Let me show you the good shit. I had to convince my parents to let me watch the a-team dude like that shit was tough oh really yeah i had to tell him i'd be like yo they nobody dies in the a-team dad it's just a bunch of people getting thrown out of cars and stuff like that by the way it's funny in the a-team yeah they specifically made it um so no one everyone's firing machine guns, but no one gets hurt. No one ever gets shot.

It's like G.I. Joe, the cartoon. A plane blows up, and then you see everyone jump out. You see the parachute last second. Donald, are we talking about Toni Collette? Yes, Toni Collette. Great actress. I laughed about the janitor and his multiple characters that he plays around the hospital.

There's the German, there's the British guy. I wanted to talk about this also because that's one thing that we don't go into a lot. The janitor's storyline, we kind of gloss over it every day. This was one of those storylines, though, where it was like, this could have been an A storyline, and everybody would have been into it. It was one of those very funny, him talking to you, and then the guy coming up and saying, All right, Nigel, good night, and him going, good night. That shit fucking had me laugh so hard, dude. And I don't mean to laugh at people who stutter, but that shit was a great transition from him ragging with ragging on you he's like kaiser

sose he's kaiser sose dude yeah yeah so i thought that was funny yeah i don't know how much we explored that as the show went on but the fact that everyone no one in the hospital really sees this same person he's he plays he plays at least four people uh amongst the staff of sacred heart it's like nigel the stuttering guy, Klaus, the German. Yeah, and then there's a British guy. Right, something like that. How about when I – Oh, no, wait.

But I'm sure it's Nigel. Nigel is the British guy. Yeah, he was classic Nigel. Classic Nigel. Classic Nigel. Who says classic Nigel? Rob. That's funny.

Classic Nigel. Who says classic Nigel? Rob. Todd. Classic Nigel. I thought when I take this, a flashback when I'm bragging about saving an old man's life and I bring him to a party. And this actor must be 900 years old. But he goes, I thought you said there'd be some bitches here. And I go, we just got here, man. Look around. It's always funny when old people swear. Yes.

It never gets old. It's an easy laugh. It's an easy laugh and it always works. I remember thinking this guy should not be like out and about. Like this man, this man, this man needs to be at home in bed i mean he was so old how about doc from the love boat bud yeah doc from the love boat oh bernie coppell yes yeah he uh was yeah yeah it was that was cool and um and. And Sarah, I thought, was very good in this episode when she loses him, but she kind of has to go. I thought it was interesting contrast from the pilot, us running when there's a code and hiding in the closet, to now running to compete to who can get the glory for trying to save somebody's life.

It was, you know, this many episodes later. for trying to save somebody's life. It was, you know, this many episodes later. I noticed that they had to find a way to get Elliot back to one in a lot of ways. Because when we last left off, Elliot's on the come up, right? So she has a boyfriend. Her job is, she's doing great at her job.

Her confidence level is at its all-time high, right? And then we stopped talking about her for only a couple of episodes. We now focus on J.D.'s new love interest for two episodes. And when we come back to Elliot, now she's starting to unravel again. And she talks about it in the show, too. But she puts it off on JD. Like all of this is happening to me because of how you reacted to our breakup.

Well, she's saying you're not over it. You're just using Tara Reade's character, Danny, as trying to make me jealous. And you're clearly just being a dick because you still have feelings for me and you're mad at me and you're being passive aggressive. That's what she's saying. But this goes back to what we were talking about in the last episode

where she was teasing you, where she was doing all of these things like bending over in front of you and smacking your ass and yawning in front of you. And we asked the question whether that was on purpose or by accident if she knew she was doing it or was she playing with jd and now we come to this episode and it definitely feels like she was fucking with jd back then and she's not doing and now and now now all of those things that worked aren't working because his focus is on uh danny is on is on tara reed's character but i don't really think he likes danny that much i think that you know obviously i think

she's i think she's absolutely right but i think tara's apps i mean i'm sorry i think elliot's absolutely right about what's going on with jd this is what makes the show so fucking dope you know what i mean like you come back to it now and you can recognize all of this stuff in your life or you've seen it in your friend's life and everything like that. When we were going through this I couldn't see any like I watched the Dr. Cox

character and the Jordan character and that really entertains me. Not so much with us anymore. Like Turk, JD and Elliot it's fun to watch but really where I get my meat and the things that I can relate to now are with uh the Cox character and with the you know the mentor character and having to and and maybe it's because I'm getting older yeah it just shows how you're

going through that that stage of your life but it just shows how great this show is it's like all right everybody can find something in here whether you're a beginner or you're a veteran. You know what I mean? There's something in here for everyone. There's comedy and life lessons in here for everyone. It's easy to find, and that's what makes this show so dope. What about when Todd says, I'm not allowed to call you Vagina Face? Right.

That should have me rolling. Oh, wait. Hold up. So he can call you, right? He can call you. I wrote me rolling. Oh, wait. Hold up. So he can call you. Right. He can call you. I wrote this down. Smell it.

So wait. So he can call you smell it, but I'm not allowed to call you vagina face? And she's like, it's different, Todd. I love the Todd so much. He holds a special place in my heart. He really gets a lot of laughs. I got to tell you. It's always funny.

The high fives are always funny. Yeah. Another thing I was thinking about, and this is just food for thought for all of the fans out there. It would have been interesting to see, you know, we talk about JD's journey, and this is how JD, you know, and at the end he finds

Elliot, and they go off together and live happily ever after. Another version of this show is her side of the story. And I know we tried to do it with the spinoff and everything and Carrie Bichet's character on the show and trying to show somebody who was a lot like J.D. But Elliot, in so many ways,

you know that inner monologue would be crazy to listen to. And so within watching this show i'm really looking for because of this show i'm really looking forward to when it's her story yeah yeah and you're gonna get that coming up it's coming up people all right i think we did guys that's um gabby oh wait one last thing. Yeah. The naked rule. Did that skip over you guys? Did you guys not catch the naked rule? What was the naked rule? So Carla said something to Turk, and it was like, I'm going to help you.

I need you to help me move some stuff. But she was naked when she said it. And he was like, oh, yeah, absolutely. No problem. And he said, he's like, so from here on out, the naked rule's in effect. You can't ask me to do anything when you're naked. And she's like, all right, fine.

He goes, gotta love the naked rule. I'm gonna use it retroactively. And right, I'm gonna use it, so I can use it retroactively, right, yeah. Do you remember when you said, Donald, you uh this woman was the young carla espinoza and you called a nurse you said she was you were you were saying you said about car like she's the young carla espinoza about some other woman yeah trying to explain like but you had the hots for you thought she was attractive or something like she's the young you right that's the true that's a true story based on rob my husband telling me that um this girl

that he thought was attractive was the young gabby allen and thought that that sounded like a compliment he's like but she's the young gabby allen i know i was ripped from the headlines of my life. Does your husband play golf? No. He does not. He doesn't. Should he? Interesting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should really get him into it right now. Okay. You'll never see him again. Gabby, next time you have to watch the episode. Oh, yes, obviously. Again, it is Friday. It was fun to have you because you're a lovely person.

Well, we always record on Friday too. Yes. Okay, well, if you guys give me another chance. We will. I will watch everything and I will do... Well, we can let the fans vote.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll take notes and I'll be so prepared. I'm such a good student. I will be prepared. All right. This was really fun.

Thank you guys so much. It was great to see you. It was great to see you guys. So good to see you. And hey, fans, thanks for tuning in to the program. And we appreciate you for listening. And we love to hear that you're liking it especially like our guest who said
