This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people, like jazz bassist Christian McBride. Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a form to it. You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes. So it's kind of like giving someone a topic and say, OK, talk about this. Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

At the end, when he looks out, he plays a miserable curmudgeon and he goes, you know, I have this very odd feeling. I can't quite put my finger on it. I haven't felt it in some time, but I think it might be happiness.

Joelle, please turn

off Rebels during the show. I'm so sorry. That was freaking Ariana Grande. Yes, it was. The classic. I was trying to close some apps on my phone. She's so funny.

I was trying to close some apps on my phone. And she started playing. This will be forever. Best album. Am I right? Is that the song? Yes, it's classic. I got it just from that alone. If I had a Peloton, that's what I would be biking to.

I know. And Cody would be like, guess what you're riding? Cody would be the leader of the ride talking about, that's right. God is a woman. Everybody loves this Cody. I got to get in there. Joelle, when's your birthday? October 1st.

You a Libra? I am a Libra. Donald and I might have to give you a Peloton. It's all we want. We have a whole spot for it. Donald's like, my birthday is come and gone and all I got was a motherfucking record. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

All I got was a Garden State record. I want a Peloton. Don't put words in my mouth. First of all, I don't ever like seeing Joelle Monique at all melancholic. And she said that I wish I had a Peloton with such a little bit of melancholy in her voice that I was like, how can I rectify that? I'm going to get that hottie a bike. Yes. There it is.

Yeah. Did you spend the day, Donald? I did not spend today. I'd spent the day writing a freaking rap well we're gonna get to that rap and i'm very excited to hear it because well before we get to everyone the chatter about how good your rapping is i gotta say the real chatter is everybody flipping out over richard kind which makes me so happy what a great episode man he did such a you, you get lucky sometimes. We always try to bring in really good guests for you and stuff. Yeah.

But sometimes you get lucky. I would have never guessed that Richard would have had so much. I know he's a vet, but I would have never guessed that he would have given his knowledge so freely as he would say, i assume this this this knowledge is complimentary i i i mean but it was really it was amazing dude i listened to it back and i was just you know we always listen back as you know to see if we have notes or it's anything we want to cut or whatever and i was just driving in my car and i was cracking up and then and then all of a sudden he dropped some awesome fucking you know advice or knowledge and then oh my god I called Bill this morning I was

like have you listened yet he goes no my you know my ritual I get in bed with my beats headphones so I don't bother Krista and I listened that night I'm like all right but dude you're gonna love this and I go I can't I gotta tell you what he said and I told him how he goes uh how Richard was like now I heard there was a podcast and uh and I said and they said I should call you you what he said, and I told him how he goes – how Richard was like, now, I heard there was a podcast. And I said – they said I should call you guys. And I said, don't worry. They'll call. And I just – I've been laughing.

I've been smiling all day about Richard Kind going, they'll call. And we did. And we did. And we really did. And we really did. and we did and we did and we did really did you know i had a lot of people on my instagram comments uh saying uh you know you guys should keep doing those 0.5 uh episodes they're so um you know informative you know because we had done the one with johnny c when we had an episode mix up and i think that's a really cool thing to fold in um because people really love it when you go

agreed when you go you know every once in a while we're not going to do an episode we're going to take you know we could do it with so many other guest stars that would you know we could do it with you know the thing about richard though the thing i mean not to not to diss anybody else that we do it with you know he also just happens to be an amazing storyteller and uh you know not everyone is gonna come and bring bring the heat like that well yeah you know well i mean the the thing is he's one of those people that always gives you comedy with his with his storytelling and that's very important for fake doctors real friends yeah we are not a dramatic show we do not sit here and pretend to be a dramatic show right we want to make you smile so when we have guests like richard

kind i definitely agree with you we should do the 0.5 shows yeah i agree with you it's like a it's like a deep dive with one person yeah and both times at both times it's happened by accident where we were both like oh shit they didn't watch the episode. What do we do? I guess we did that with Gabby, too. Well, yeah, yeah, absolutely. We still talked about the episode, though. Oh, we did talk about the episode. Well, this one's good, and I'm excited to talk about it.

Should we get into it? Should you count us in, do America's favorite song? Well, let's start with the recap first. No, we always count in first, Donald. And this one, I need to do the recap first. Oh, there must be a secret thing that I'm not thinking of. All right.

Now, everybody loves your rapping. I got a DM from Dr. Dre. Bullshit. And he said... If he called you, it was because of DJ Dano, not because of... No, he DMed me and said, do you know how I can get in touch with Donald Faison? He wants me on that new Chronic.

I have a new album, and I'd like to do a track with Donald and DJ Danil. He wants me on Chronic 2021? Yes. Are they putting you on Chronic 2021? That'd be dope. That's a dope name, Chronic 2021.

I could teach you how to do the running man. Well, your daughter can dance a lot better than I can, but I would really love you, since you are, I think it's safe to say, one of the great running mans of all time. You know who else does an amazing running man? Do you remember the Kenan Thompson sketch? Woo-wee! What up with that? Jason Sudeikis comes in in a red Adidas suit and does the funniest, silliest, I think it's running man. It's amazing.

I was just, you know, I know I try and brag about being a part of that show. But in all seriousness, when I was directing it, I thought it was funny.

No, I don't, but it's the day after our live show. We tape it. Yes, so you have to, well, yeah. Everyone, we're going to tell you when we know, and we're going on the Drew Barrymore Show. Right. I'm so excited for you guys. We're blowing up.

We will have already been on the Drew Barrymore Show at this point. Really? When does it air? What? We record tomorrow. I don't know when it airs, actually. So I take that back. Can you find out from Danica when it airs?

Yeah, of course. Because maybe we can tell the fans to TiVo it. Remember TiVo? I do. Oh, my gosh. I do remember. Remember VHS? we can tell the fans to TiVo it. Remember TiVo? Oh my gosh, I do remember. Remember VHS? The sound effects of TiVo. I don't know what that I don't have TiVo. Oh, well TiVo, I don't know what that

artistry of designing merchandise is, but the really gratifying audible noises. Sound design. Sound design for products daniel what is that what is that yeah i mean it's just kind of like foley and sound design are all you know innately part of the design of a product i mean that much is just as important as like for example the headshot noise and something like call of duty or any kind of like video game or any sort

of product it's like it's a huge part of the defining the experience is that this many years later i'm still thinking about how i really enjoyed the sound effects on tivo and they're gone because you know the apple tv ones or or whatever aren't really gratifying at all in fact i finally figured out how to turn off the auto playing of of the the show on on netflix You know what I mean? Do you guys have that shit turned on or off? Where it automatically goes into the When you're flipping around Netflix No, no. When you're flipping around Netflix, if it just starts

playing the trailer of the show automatically. I like that feature. I know a lot of people don't. I love it. Oh, I hate it. I can't think. It's doubly satisfactory because either it's a horrible clip that tells you nothing about the show which i find to be entertainment in and of itself i'm like why did you show us a woman walking through this house for a full minute what was the point

i don't know anything about her or why because i assume because those trailers aren't specifically cut by anyone someone just pulls a minute clip out i mean no human would do this let me let me let me rephrase sometimes if it's designed for netflix or whatever someone has clearly curated it but other times yeah there's just some intern has decided oh here's a minute of the show and it's and it's always like the the the last minute of the opening credits that's all you get to see you see the opening credits and that's it for every preview of every episode. It's like, that's not a preview, that's the opening

credits. Well, I just thought that feature was really annoying and if you're curious, you can Google how to turn it off. I finally figured it out and it makes my browsing experience more pleasurable. But still not to the level of those beautiful, gratifying TiVo sound effects.

Dude. What, buddy? This is what I, I get it. She fine. She fine as can be, as a matter of fact. Julia Margulies? Oh my God. Holy cow, dude.

I mean, wow. Respect. Wow. Wow. Respect. I think at the time I wasn't even aware. I wasn't aware of it either, dude. Wow. Respect. Wow. Wow. Respect. Respect. I think at the time I wasn't even aware. I wasn't aware of it either, dude.

I mean, I was in front of her. She's a beautiful woman. But watching it back, she's a knockout. As a grown man now, as a man now. As a man. Finally, at 46, I'm a man. Looking back at that, when I watch this, I'm like, oh oh it totally makes sense why jd did what he did well no i mean in real life i would never do that to you it's talk about a heightened reality i would

never i would never have sex with a woman who's suing you on the table where she was where she was suing you uh where the deposition occurred oh my god how funny is it really you would okay let me let's let's rewind this a little bit now let's rewind this let's say that the lawyer was very much look very much like who's like cindy crawford back in the day yeah let's say it was that you're saying yes that you could be like never mind i would do it yeah okay thank you thank you very much there's no reality here there's no when i was at the height of uh when i was at the height of in high school puberty everything turning on i was like it was stephanie seymour you remember stephanie seymour of course yeah and uh i think i told you this story did i

mention the story about how I got the picture with her boobs out from GQ Magazine? Cindy Crawford? Joel, did I tell this story already? No. Back in the day, GQ Magazine would have the occasional tasteful

but topless shot. People may not remember that, but it wasn't like Playboy, but it would be like... How is it a tasteful shot? What is tasteful? It's like Vogue. It means it's art.

It's like a statue. I mean, it wasn't like Playboy-esque. It was like... You mean it wasn't like Penthouse? Penthouse was the one where... No, buddy, I'm telling you. Playboy is... Hold on.

Playboy, they tried to be artful. Penthouse was the spread evil all right but i'm talking about this playboy has like the filter on and she's in a santa outfit and whatever this was like you know a black and white by a really fancy photographer like on a beach stephanie seymour a wholly different thing a totally different thing anyway i found a loophole because obviously it was not a playboy but i was allowed GQ. Now, I didn't give a fuck about GQ. I just knew that occasionally if you got a good issue, you might see Stephanie Seymour's boobs.

And I had – so my parents had gotten divorced, and I had my dad – when the dad – when parents get divorced, the other parent will often like trick out your room or do things to make you want to go there. So my dad got me a waterbed because as a kid, I really, really wanted a waterbed. So he allowed me to hang. For some reason, he didn't have any objections.

I had my black and white topless picture of Stephanie Seymour, and I would just look at it and gently hump the waterbed. Did you get the waterbed strictly to hump it? No, I just, you know, I don't know how you were, but as a 15-year-old kid, I thought waterbeds were the coolest thing. I mean, this is, you know.

So my buddy got a waterbed. By the way, two days into having a waterbed, I was like seasick and like this sucks. My buddy got a waterbed for the reason of we thought he was we were like in our. We had graduated high school, but we weren't out of our parents house just yet. And his mom allowed him to get a waterbed. And then she went out of town. So we were throwing parties at his house and everything like that and while she was out of town and one time the girl i was dating came over and i was like yo can we use your waterbed

and he was like yeah absolutely sure use your I'm going to tell you something right now. Fuck a waterbed, dude. That shit is the worst thing to ever. It's like there's nothing fun about sex on a waterbed. There's nothing awesome about sex on a waterbed. It's uncomfortable. You can't ever get good grip. You never get a good grip.

I'll tell you. You ever know when the trampoline, you know when you get a bad bounce on the trampoline and it freaking jams you? That shit happens on a waterbed too, dude. You got a bad bounce and you're thrusting? Yeah, I got a bad bounce on the thrust. But yeah, I got to tell you, a waterbed was fun for like 48 hours. I thought I was the coolest kid in the world. And then I remember my stepmother coming in and she was like, why are you frowning?

And I was like, don't tell anyone, but I'm seasick. They had just bought this whole fucking thing and got it off. And all I could think about, even at like 15, was how are we going to drain this fucking thing and get it out of here? The frame is awesome. You could always put another. if you can figure out if you can figure out how to get the water out you can put a mattress in the frame which yeah which i eventually did uh because i felt bad telling my dad because he had you know he had treated me to it but i eventually was like this is not this is not water beds are letdown. They are a huge letdown. Zach, quote Zach Bra.

They are a huge letdown. And the waves are real too. Like all of that stuff is like. Does anyone sell waterbeds anymore? I mean, this was such a craze back in the day. But you never hear about anyone. It's like anytime you see a waterbed in a show, it's meant to be a joke. I wonder if there's like, I wonder how waterbed sales are doing in 2021. But they were sold as like a sex thing, right?

Like the motion of the ocean with the waterbed. I don't know that it was sold as a sex thing. It was sold as like, well, I don't know. I'm sure if you're an adult and you got one, you were thinking about banging on it. Do you guys want some crazy waterbed facts? Yes, please. I want to know how much the industry has declined since the 80s.

This is according to Purple.com, which is a mattress sales company. And apparently in the 80s, one in five Americans owned a waterbed. One in five? It was very popular. But by the 1990s, the waterbeds had fallen out of popularity because of the maintenance required. But they can still be found today mostly online. They don't have a specific number of how many people are online. You have to have a heater on it because the water even in a warm environment gets cold.

So it's also heated. You've got a heated bed. Maybe you're not convinced that it's a bad idea, but I'm here to tell you that you'll regret it after 24 hours. And Donald's here to tell you that it's hard to bang. Unless it's really hard to bang on. I'm telling you right now. All right. Drew Barrymore airs on the 5th.

So, yeah, Friday. Check us out. A day after this show. So tomorrow. Yeah, Friday. Check us out. A day after this show. So tomorrow. Listen, Drew and I are old friends, and this is going to be so fun because she's just –

Drew is as cool as you can imagine she is from all her movies. She's such a sweetheart. She's so just eccentric and fun and silly. She's like a kid. And I think we're going to have a lot of fun. And I'm just so happy we're getting all this. The podcast is getting all this good attention. Family Feud. Drew Barrymore.

I can't believe it, man. I would have never guessed that a podcast on iHeartRadio would be so popular that we would have made it all the way to Family Feud. Drew Barrymore comes on CBS. Yeah, CBS. So just if you're listening right now, pause the podcast and mark your calendar. CBS on the 5th, the Drew Barrymore Show with Don, Faison, and Zach Braff. I hope she wears our onesie. We've sent her a onesie because she was interested in our merch.

And I really hope that she, how great would it be if Drew came out in the onesie? It would make my day. It would make my day to have our faces all over the legendary Drew Barrymore. I mean, I got stories of Drew Barrymore. When I was a kid, man, that was like... That for sure is one of my first crushes. It was like Lisa Turtle from Saved by the Bell,

Drew Barrymore from... Remember Drew did that movie The Crush? Is that what she did? No, that was Alicia Silverstone. Oh, wait. What was the Drew one where she was like a seductress? Poison Ivy? No. Maybe that was – I don't know.

I don't know what it was. When Drew became like a woman, she started doing like these sort of – There was one where she was in a trailer park, like her and her dad moved to a trailer park. And in it, all she does in one scene is she jumps in a pool in an all black bathing suit. And it's like a freaking, it's not even a bikini. It's a bathing suit.

And I remember as a kid being like, I want to marry her. I want to marry her right now I love her not only is she beautiful but she's just god her personality you might think that sort of flower child silly hippie is like a character that's true

she's so naturally just like high on life and silly and I mean so yeah that combined with her beauty just and just and just well not just that also just like her she's so savvy when it comes to the industry she's been in it forever you know and so you know she's produced some really good movies she's produced some good television she has her own talk show now like she can do everything and so exciting and and she's made the wisest choice she's made in her career having us on her show i you know i'll bet i think her producer i think

her producer is going to be like drew you're not going to believe this i know we just had spielberg on i know we just had tom cruise on but the ratings spiked to our all-time high with donald and zach that's what i would that's what I'm manifesting on my whiteboard. Put it on the whiteboard. Put it on the whiteboard. All right, should we get into the show, my friend? Let's get into the show. First of all, let's shout out Joe Pulido.

He's on the show. Yeah, and I don't know why Joe Pulido isn't credited because I looked for him on Scrubs Wiki and he's not on there. But he's hilarious. What a funny, funny man. The late, great Joe Pulido, man. Oh, I didn't know he passed. When did he die?

Like 2015 or 16. Oh, I really, really liked him. I made a pilot for Fox that didn't go with my brother. And I asked him to come in and do a one scene really funny part. And he didn't pause for a second. And he was fucking hilarious and just a good, good, good guy. Yeah, he was. I did a movie with him called Venus in Vegas, and we hung out on set a lot because we had scenes together, and he expressed how he really liked Scrubs. And I remember saying to Randall, I think we should get Joe Pulido on the show.

And then like two weeks later, Joe Pulido was on the show. Oh, you're the one who made it happen. I don't know if I'm the one who made it happen, but I remember him expressing to me how much he loved Scrubs. And I was like, well, let's get you on the show. And I believe he knew Bill before this.

He had to have known Bill before this, Bill and Randall, because like that, he was on the show. yeah well he's you know we you know we use the term character actor i guess it usually means someone who's so distinctly a personality that they they often play that distinct personality i guess and and and i think he would be characterized as one of those and uh just a legendary journeyman actor that's that was in 9 000 things and just every time every time he did a part he just showed up and stole the scene yeah and he's great this whole shtick with sarah is so funny how she creates this fake

elliot reed and uh that's really and then the janitor eventually comes in as Dr. Elliot Reed, but we'll get there. We'll get there. Jumping ahead. So we open with pancake face that people love the pancake face. I didn't remember pancake face. Really?

I've seen like gifts of it and stuff. I'd never, I know. So when I, when I did, my only knowledge of my only knowledge of scrubs this many years later is the gifts that I see everywhere. Yeah, me too.

I'm waiting for the one where we're rubbing each other's feet. Oh, I love that one. Nestling in each other's faces. That used to be my go-to. That used to be my go-to. It's obvious that it's later because you have a full beard when we're doing it. Yeah, there's a season where I show up and I have a beard and everyone makes fun of it. I was like, let's shake it up. In this up and I have a beard and everyone makes fun of it. Because I was so, I was like, let's shake it up.

In this season, I have a beard. You know, after you do a show for nine years, you're like, what can we do differently? A beard? Yeah. I got a crazy idea. What if my character has a beard? But then you had to have the beard everywhere you went for like a full year you had a beard. I liked the beard, especially when it was brown back in the day.

Now it's like – It's gray. Your beard is still black. My beard looks so gray. I feel like 10 years older if I grow my beard gray. Dude, you are so much – you're in better shape than you were back then. I know. That's true.

You look like a silver fox with your beard now. Oh, come on. Let the gray come out. I'll tell you a funny story. I had this audition. I don't know if I told you this story, but I had this audition where I wanted to have the beard and look younger. And so I was like, you know, when you're on a set, the makeup artist, it's very hard to dye a beard. But the makeup artist will take like a mascara brush and a little bit of this paint and little by little they paint it out.

will take like a mascara brush and a little bit of this paint and little by little they paint it out but i had this audition and i didn't have a makeup artist or or the makeup that they that she or he would use so i went and got just for men um hair hair dye right this is so embarrassing and and i didn't really know how to do it just other than the obvious so i get it and my beard wasn't that long it wasn't as long as yours is now well i put it on and they say leave it on for this amount of time and then shower up so i come out of the shower and i'm like oh no my whole skin forget the hair all of all of the skin is dyed black it looked pretty thick, huh? Dude, it looked like, it looked horrible.

And it was, and then I frantically started Googling, how do you get hair dye off your skin? How do you do it? Hashtag home remedy. And it was this crazy concoction of like baking soda dish soap and something else i forgot and you scrub that and maybe hydrogen peroxide or something i forgot but you scrub that shit i eventually got it off and it looked horrible but uh i was worth it it did not get the part they probably were watching the audition going why the fuck does the character have a horribly dyed beard? I'm sorry, bud. I put it all in.

Guys, I got to close my door and pee, so I need 30 seconds. Okay, Donald, you want to get a break? We'll be right back.

This is like the third time getting get into the show, Donald? We were into the show. This is like the third time getting back into the show. All right, sorry. I'm excited about this show because I laughed a lot. Let's talk about Turt loving BBW.

That fantasy was so – sorry, it's not a fantasy. That's real talk. This is one of those things where like it crosses the line because yes it's funny that the she pushed you into the mattress but it's it's a fantasy in the sense that you're full-on like pushed down into the mattress it's like a cartoon yes cut out in the mattress and i'm stuck in it yes so this is one of those moments where bill is riding the line of what's fantasy and what's real. But I fucking laughed my ass off.

Yeah, yeah. And then what do you say when she gets off of you and you say something like – We're all God's children in the dark. We're all – no, you say that to us. But what do you say when she rolls off of you? You say something like – Yeah, baby. Yeah. Something like that.

Something like that. No, or something like – she was like, was it good for you? And you're like, I don't know. I forgot what you said. I don't remember what I said either. Oh, here it is. You go, yes, it was. But wait, you jumped a lot of stuff.

I did? Yeah. Oh, the marathon death race in the cold opened. I forgot about that. The marathon. Now, it's a callback to the pilot when Sarah and I are racing each other, and I have the water thing, and I splash it on my face. Oh, man, I missed a bunch of stuff.

I missed you getting spanked by Carla. Wait, wait, wait. Let's just talk about the stuntmen. These guys did such a good – first of all, Chris Koch directed this episode. Great job. And, you know, it just goes to show you that when you watch a sequence in a film or TV show and you yourself go, wow, that was awesome. It's a combination of a lot of people, cinematographer, editor, director, of course. But when I watched this sequence with everyone running to try and get to the patient first, I had to stop and go, who directed this episode? This is so well done. And it was Chris Koch, who's was, is a really,

really great director and was one of our favorites. Cause that was just excellently done. Yeah. You know, he's, has he directed movies at all? Does he direct movies? I think he has done a few features, but he's huge very respected very hard to get tv tv comedy director and he's did he's he didn't start with us but he kind of worked started you know cultivating his art form with us kind of yeah i mean he was working um he was well will you look up some of his biggest credits and and i he might i'm sure he's got nominations too he was working donald i remember and i think that like as we were kind of you know getting our stride and he was kind of having a moment i remember thinking like this isn't just one of a random director this is

like a hot tv director like you know like we felt with buckland or or spiller there were certain guys and gals gailman c Cuso, that were the cool kids of the moment. You know what I mean? He did a guy thing. He did a Snow Day. Directed a lot of the middle. A lot of us.

Did he direct that movie, Snow Days? Snow Day. He directed it. The 2000 version. The 2000 version The 2000 version Oh it made me think of a different movie Which one are you thinking of Wasn't there a movie with

Show me the money actor What's his name Oh that's Snow Dogs He's thinking Snow Dogs Also Good movie Really I never saw Snow Dogs so here's the thing man everybody thought

Snow Dogs was gonna suck and it turned out to be pretty dope dude well I'm sure if you have kids it's probably great to watch with kids how about when Juliana Markleys throws me out of the car and I go so that's a no one cuddling that was funny so were you guys banging in the car

and then she throws you out? Yeah, I'm assuming we were. It seems like we were fucking while driving. Right. And I don't know how that would work because she was driving. Right, and she tosses you out. And I have no, my pants are around my ankles. So I'm somehow having sex with her while she's driving.

Well, you can, I mean, it's possible. Well, I could have been doing other things, but it's funnier to think if it was actual sex. Yeah, I like the idea of it being. Also, if I was doing other things, why would my pants be around my ankles? So all I know is she skids out, throws me out of the car. I land in my boxers in front of my job.

I land in my boxers. I of my job. I land in my boxers. I don't think I have a shirt on. And I go, so that's a no on cuddling? Now, wait a second. What was JD using Vagisil for? Why does JD use Vagisil on his body? And by the way, why does Sarah say you smell like Vagisil? Yeah.

Which would imply that Elliot has a deep relationship with Vagisil. Oh my God. That's funny. I don't know. But JD, who's a doctor, by the way, a very skilled doctor we've learned after four years, decides to put Vagisil on his sore muscles. I don't understand the meaning. What is the point of doing it? It's the cheapest, stupidest joke, but you know what? I giggled. I laughed at it too. Wait, wait, wait. What about when we go... What about that whole thing, the sequence

where Judy says, I still have nightmares about you two getting married or something like that. Where do we go? Yeah, where do we go? And you go Aspen. And I go, ooh, I hope it's summer. I'm not that big a skier. That shit's hilarious.

I laughed really hard. Where do we go? Aspen. Ooh, I hope it's hilarious. I laughed really hard. Where do we go? Aspen. Oh, I hope it's summer. Oh, I hope it's summer. I'm not that good at skiing. I like I trail off like that. I'm not that good at skiing.

Oh, my God. I bet Aspen's lovely in the summer. I've never been. Oh, man. Well, listen, I went to Whistler in the summer where Sarah shot that movie, wherever Sarah was talking about. Whistler, it wasn't snowing. Let's put it that way. Yeah.

And it didn't get dark until like 10 o'clock at night, it seemed like. Have you never skied? No, I don't do snow sports. I think it would be fun to ski with you. You know why? No, no, no, no, no, no. Because we finally have a sport that I'm a smidgen better than you at. And then you take one lesson and then be slaloming.

Here's what I would like to do. I like things like sledding and stuff like that. Skiing, not so much i submit that you don't like it because you're so used to being the best athlete in the group if there's something you don't know how to do you're like i don't like that listen i am far from the best athlete in the group yes you are you're the fucking best athlete in the group and maybe not maybe you're in groups where you're not but but in every group I'm in. I'm in a lot of groups where I'm not the best athlete. Bro, I've never been in a circle of people where you weren't the best athlete.

Okay, fine. I'll accept that. Received and accepted. My point is, listen, I don't do well in cold weather at all. I remember I just don't to the fear of getting stranded and on a mountain scares the shit out of me. You're going to be on a bunny slope when you're learning to a resort and you'll get hot cocoa.

And then you ride up. It's like 15. It's not even that high. By the way, you'd be like, yeah, you'd be on the bunny slope and you wouldn't be getting lost in the woods. And anyway,

the, the one skiing is so fun fun but it's also the whole atmosphere of the fireplaces and the hot tubs and the ski movies you never see black people joelle when did you learn to ski you're from chicago i guess they ski in chicago is that what they all do well michigan is right there and they've got all the little slopes you know they're not big but they you can definitely ski down them and it's a lot of fun and my mother was skiing like from when she was in i think like high school grade school whole family you can definitely ski down them, and it's a lot of fun. And my mother was skiing from when she was in, I think, high school, grade school, whole family school. You can literally take – like, Donald, you're so athletic that you'd go out with a pro,

and after two hours, you'd be fine on the simple slopes and love it. I just worry about breaking something. Yeah, well, that's different. That's different. Pizza, french fries, these resort hills, I promise you. Yeah, and then it's so fun. That's different. That's different. Pizza, French fries, these resort hills, I promise you. Yeah. And then it's so fun. Then you get a drink and you get in the hot tub and it's awesome.

All right. Let's talk more about the television show Scrubs. Flop sweat. Ted banging his head on the table. I mean, that is just Sam Lloyd hitting that table. And he did it. Thunders applause, Dan. And he did it. And he did it. Thunderous applause, Dan. And he did it.

And he did it, too. This was the stunt that Bill was talking about where he made this happen over and over and over again. And they were like, do you want a pad? Like, this was – I want Bill to tell the story. Can we ask Bill to tell the story again? Yes, go ahead. Ask Bill. Bill, will you please tell the flop sweat story, the Sam Lloyd flop sweat story once again? Hitting the table. Tell us about this. It's one of the funniest physical comedy beats in four seasons. And I mean,

Sam executed it so flawlessly. What do you remember about that moment? And was that planned or did you guys come up with that on the or I guess I was in the room. Did we all come up with that on the day? I just know that Sam sold the shit out of that. It looks like he hits his head. It looks like he bangs his head very hard on that. Well I think he bangs it but he must

be, I'm guessing he must in order to fuck himself up, he must be bracing with one hand and hitting hard with the right. I don't know exactly how he does it, but it's amazing. Amazing. Because he had to do that over and over again. And if he was really hitting the table hard, he would have fucked up his face.

But I think he sells the shit out of it. That's all I'm going to say. Also, the cut of his hand sliding helps. But, I mean, the dude did the fucking stunt, and it's hilarious. Hey, guys. Welcome to my podcast within my other podcast. Richard Kine episode was funny, man. They'll call.

I am aware, yes. Sam Lloyd, ah, talking about him, man. It hurts my heart. I miss that guy. So funny and so talented. Now, here's the issue what we wanted sam to do uh you know was kind of have his hand slide and hit something there and there we weren't really prepped for any kind of big stunt and so there's nothing to no way to fake it you

know we're thinking about could we shoot it backwards it backwards? Because we didn't want to cut away. And Sam was like, I'm just going to go for it. And I think it is one of the best pratfalls of all time. Not just because of how hard he slams his head for real on the table, but because then when he comes back up, he kind of has dead eyes. You know what I mean? And you can see that his bell's rung before he just kind of slides off, and neither Donald nor Ken really reacts. It's just one of the all-time best pieces of physical comedy

I've ever been involved in. Sam, we miss you. We love you. Miss you guys. Love you guys. Bye. There was a commercial that had a similar gag, and I would laugh every time I saw it i don't know that commercial a guy a guy um hitting his head on on a table

it's just amazing how the right timing in a physical comedy joke is the difference between going huh and a full laugh out loud and the timing is so perfect at this that you fucking i wrote i you know i I wrote LOL. I laughed out loud. It was so funny. I have a question. So after this, when Turk says to Richard Kind's character, you know, you think I'm a bad surgeon. He's like, I don't think you're a bad surgeon. I think you're a great surgeon.

As a matter of fact, I have a circumcision coming up. Not for me, not for whatever it's for. I've been talking to my rabbi about getting circumcised, you know, for the ladies. Okay, I have to ask a question. Does he expect Turk to cut his penis for him? Yes. I think that for some reason, I think it's safe to assume that Harvey Korman, Richard Kind, is a Jewish man, and for some reason he has not been circumcised.

And so he's, yes, he's... How is that possible? How is that possible, first of all? Do you know any Jewish men that aren't circumcised? I don't, but, you know, circumcision with a lot of people is a giant conversation and falling out of societal norms in a lot of people is a giant conversation and falling out of uh societal norms in a lot of ways it's become quite controversial um so i'm sure there are some parents who are jewish and not religious who were like i'm not fucking doing that to my kid um so yeah i guess we assume that his parents decided not to circumcise him or for all i know he's maybe

the character isn't jewish he just seems so like cartoonishly jewish new yorker but you and you and juliana margulies you guys got kind of close making this show do you have that was this was this it were you single at the time was she single at the time? Like, you guys, I'm not saying you got, like, your heat seems very real in a comedy way, but I don't know. I don't know. I remember watching this and being like, damn, okay, Zach, I see you. Are you asking if we smashed, Donald? No, I'm not asking you if you smashed. That is not what I'm asking.

That would not be a gentlemanly question. No, it would not. But in the first episode, you guys tongue-kissed. In this episode, you guys are always, you know, you guys got a little heat going. My point is you guys got a little heat going on in here. We had good chemistry, yeah. No, I think we were both seeing other people at the time, so there was no after-hours hanky-panky. But I really enjoyed her, and I did think that we had good chemistry, and she's really cool.

enjoyed her and i did think that we had good chemistry and and she's really cool we had i had dinner with her and a couple other people um one time and she's she's a she's a really cool chick phenomenal actress i remember she turned down like the most at the time she turned down like the most insane paycheck ever on er because she was over it you know she but she went on to do the good wife and you know she's had an amazing career but i mean most actors wouldn't walk away have the strength to walk away from what she walked away from on er like they would have been no she would have been the most paid person on television they threw her like i don't know joelle can you look up what it was it was something something like 27 million a season something insane like 27 million for four years

or something no for one year 27 million for one year joelle's gonna look it up all i remember is that everyone in the industry was like holy shit she's actually i mean good for her she's turning it down to go do what she really wants to do she can't be bought everybody else was like i'm available right well and but that's when ER started changing its cast, really. You know what I mean? After that, everything started to change with the show. Well, that's what Bill, you know, I think what Bill aspired to do. We never even talked about this, but I think what he aspired to do with the ninth season of Scrubs was say, no, this isn't Scrubs anymore.

This is Scrubs Med School, quote unquote, or whatever. And then hopefully be able to keep it going like Grey's Anatomy and ER have done by rotating in new cast members. And it was a valiant effort that didn't really take off. But that's what he aspired to do. I thought that would have been a... I thought...

Listen, I have yet to watch season nine since we shot it, so I don't know... I'm very excited to get there and see what it's going to be like. But so far, I don't know if you could replace Turk, JD, Elliot.

So far, Turk, JD, Elliot, Carla, Cox. Yeah, it was just the magic. It's funny, though. It is interesting to note that a show like both ER and Grey's Anatomy, I mean, coincidentally, perhaps, they're both hospital shows. I don't know. But they've been able to do it.

Now, I don't know if a comedy has ever successfully done that. Can you think of one, like altering the cast? Joel, you're a pop culture expert. Just a completely new cast was – Well, there were overlaps obviously with you and Sarah. I would say Saved by the Bell is the closest thing where literally the kids graduated and a new class would come in. And they did that quite a few times actually okay and then what about what did facts of life have new girls facts of life did the exact same thing they had

new girls also yeah but and they not only did they have new not only did they have like mrs garrett left and there was a new caretaker mrs garrett got her own show oh sorry she did left different strokes to get her own show. Right, but then she left Facts of Life too. She wasn't on Facts of Life very long either. Somebody else came in on Facts of Life. Oh, really? I like the Mrs. Garrett years.

Well, those are the best years. By the way, I saw on the internet the other day there was an episode. I remember this, but there was an episode of Facts of Life where a young prostitute tries to lure Tootie to become a prostitute. Do you remember that? Gotta watch that episode. I've never seen it. How did that happen? Because, you know, Facts of Life was always trying.

Facts of Life was, and, you know, all those shows, you know, some more than others, obviously. But some were trying to take on big social issues of the time and and in a dramatic way and i just and i don't even remember this episode but i saw someone was like you know you see shit on the on the internet and they're like is it just me or was there really an episode where a young prostitute tried to lure tootie into prostitution and i assume it was an episode on like you know um you know you you know, young girls being forced into prostitution and trying to have a public service announcement, but it's pretty surreal

to think that they try to recruit R2D. There's a time you gotta grow and show you're growing now you know about the facts of life. When the boys used to hate your date, I guess you must investigate. 27 million a season is what she was offered. 20, told you.

Oh, thank you, Joelle. That was fast. That was fast. Season three, episode 18 of Facts of Life called The Runaway. If you think I'm lying, Joelle found it for you. Go find that episode. Tootie's not even in high school yet by this point. She's not even in high school yet.

I don't even know what happened. I just know that Tootie runs away. I know what happens. What happens? She goes on an unsupervised trip to New York to see a Broadway show. That'll turn you to prostitution every time. She probably got off at Port Authority. Yeah.

Think how many parents were like, see, that's what happens when you go to see Broadway. Oh, my God. Sorry. What's the plot line? No, it's okay. So her parents refuse to give her permission. So she sneaks out to travel to the city on her own, playing to meet her classmates at the theater. Unfortunately, the show they wanted to see is sold out. We got to do a rewatch of this episode.

When the world never seems to be living up to your dreams. to be living up to your dreams. Suddenly you find it out. Let's do a rewatch episode of just the episode where Tootie's lured into prostitution. I would love to watch that episode. Okay. You know, but we joke around, but you know, this is a serious subject in America right now.

Oh, come on. Of course it is. But we can laugh about Tootie. Joelle, aren't we allowed to laugh about Tootie? Listen, we can always laugh at a good 80s sitcom. Okay. Thank you. They're an incredibly laughable.

I have to check in with Joelle if we're allowed to laugh about an 80s sitcom episode. We are. All right. Is the caller here, my friend? Yeah, we'll go to break. We'll go to break. And when we come back, we'll have a caller. We'll be right back with the caller.

I got to give you guys one recommendation because I like to give you my weekly thing that Flo and I found on TV. And there's a show on HBO Max called The Bridge. on HBO Max called The Bridge. It's a reality competition where the

contestants have to build a bridge that's like 400 feet long in order to get the prize. And they're on an island and they have no skill sets for building

a bridge. And it's amazing. I'm telling you, it's a reality show, but it's better than a network reality show because it's HBO, so they did a great job with it. Go ahead. Dude, they build the bridge by the end of the... You probably said this and I wasn't paying any attention.

Is it one episode to build a bridge? No, it's the whole season, which I think is 10 or 12 episodes. Well, because there's all sorts of shit. Without spoilers, I'm going to tell you, they do shit like – these people all have to get along and they have – it's not like any of them are engineers. There's some books. They have a shack that they all live in collectively, one big bunkhouse. And there's some books on bridge building.

But that's it. And obviously no internet, no nothing. They have to cook their own food. They have to survive on the Island, but also to get the a hundred thousand dollar prize money, they have to figure out how to build a bridge. And then they do this shady shit where they're like, they'll pick people off and be like, you can leave now for $10,000. And then the person will get off and they'll be like, they'll get on the boat. Like,

fuck it. I'm out of here. And then they'll be like privately to that person. They'll be like, you can only have the $10,000. If you destroy 100 feet of the bridge's progress. And they have to sit there and go, am I going to fuck over all these people and take my 10 grand or.

Fuck that bridge, Joe. Fuck that bridge, Joe. Wow. I was so like. Jay, you go straight with James Fuck that bridge, yo. Fuck that bridge, yo. Wow. I was so like, okay, Jay won. Jay, you go straight with James on that bridge. You go straight Rick James on that bridge.

Fuck yo bridge. Fuck yo bridge. I'm telling you, it is so entertaining. I'm recommending it to all my family and friends and all of you, my friends. It's so entertaining. You know when it shows over and you're like, we've got more that's how we felt it was so good okay um and of course they do all that reality show heartwarming stuff where you just start crying that's how i'm gonna feel on friday why it's a finale wandavision yeah oh really yeah i didn't like i gotta say

don't hate me but i the second base this last episode where there was no more TV spoofing and just full on superhero shit, I was like, well, that's because you can't recognize the Easter eggs. Now the Easter eggs are all still there. You just got to see it. I know. But I found what was so fun about the show was the the incredibly out of the box TV spoofing. And now that that was gone, sorry, spoilers, I was a little like, oh, it's just a normal superhero thing. You didn't like the way they explained it?

You didn't like any of that? Well, no, because it's not what he came here for. But I think that's what the genius of the show is. You got exactly what was being delivered, right? No, I mean, in that, Disney has found a way to be like, they tapped into so many people who are like, I'll never watch a Marvel movie. I don't care about superheroes, but I really like this show.

But now you could just walk away from it and be like, wow, that was like a good, what, six episodes you got with like stuff. And then we can go. And now this next part will lead me into the next like superhero part that I love. Right. Right. I feel like it doesn't like. All the humor.

All the humor and cheeky wink wink cleverness was gone. Well, yeah. Now it was just superheroes fighting. No, no, no. It was a woman managing her group. There hasn't been a superhero fight yet. Oh, you're hating. There hasn't been a superhero fight yet. You guys missed it.

I was doing my visual throwing lightning bolts face. Sex witch hands are perfect, which is amazing. He's throwing magic at us. Yeah. If you guys fucking want to see my witch hands, I'll bring them to the live show. Great. Should we bring the guest in?

Oh, yeah. Sorry. Bring the guest in. They're wild. They had to Daniel Gordani. Oh, give it up for Daniel Gordani. Hi. Hi, Daniel. Daniel. Daniel Gordani. Hi! Hi, Daniel, Daniel,

Daniel Gordani, welcome to the program. Thanks very much, thanks for having me. He's got his whiteboard in the background. You got a big whiteboard there, you got tats, you know, usually we assess the background to see what your interests are. So far, we just know whiteboards and tattoos.

Those are my two hobbies yeah um where are you calling from i'm actually calling from sweden oh yeah talk talk hi see what other sweden i know i know um isn't cutie yeah actually it is yeah hey yeah And you guys repeat everything twice. There's a lot of like, hi, hi. Yeah, exactly. It's quite annoying.

I love it. I've been to Stockholm a few times, and it's such an amazing city. I love it there. Yeah, unfortunately, it's cold and dark every single hour of the day. Right, so this is the season when you guys are in like full darkness, right? Yeah, I've seen the sun twice this year. So wait, explain to people like me who don't explain to our listeners explain to our listeners how long does the period go where it's just always dark well it differs but nowadays it seems like it starts from early on in november to late on in fe, early March. Then there's some glimpse of the sun.

The summers are quite nice, actually. And then in the summers, the sun never goes away, right? Yeah, exactly. But since I live by the coast, it rains almost all the time. So the weather's not that great. I got to tell you, if the sun never came out, I would fucking go shining. I couldn't live there. I would be like, all work, no play.

Make Zach a dull boy. Exactly. When I was a was a kid i saw a movie it was a short and it was about this group of kids who lived in the future when the sun and the sun never came out it came out maybe once every year and it was time for the sun to come out, and they locked this girl in the closet. And the only way she could see the sun, the light creeps in from outside and under the closet door for the little bit of time. And she tries to touch the sun with her hands on the floor, the light with her hands on the floor. I imagine that's how it is for you, huh, Daniel? Yeah, exactly. Spawn. You are starving for some light right now.

How's the vitamin D in Sweden? It's like about this much. Daniel, you probably have to take a vitamin D supplement. We're diagnosing you with that from fake doctors, real friends. You're welcome. By the way, Daniel, you could get one of those

lights, you know, the seasonal affective disorder lights. Do you have one of those? You could probably order some. I'm telling you. I don't know if it's a placebo or not. Again, I'm a fake doctor. But I'm telling you, I got one of those when I was doing a play in London. And it was like raining nonstop and gray.

And I was just like, oh, no. And so I bought one of those lights. And I don't know if maybe this is a placebo. I think there's some science to back it up but I would just sit by it in my dressing room and it made me feel better so that's what I would that's what I recommend to you thanks uh do you have a question for us my friend yes I actually have prepared two questions good um so my first one that's about scrubs and and mainly the season the scrub is based on nine seasons um so my question is you to you is if you could change one thing about the series uh throughout

any season what would that be in terms of plot storytelling something about your uh your character what would i would change i would have made it so that Turk and Carla get together season 3 or 4 and for 1, 2, and 3 Turk dates every actress in Hollywood that comes on the show like J.D.

that's how I would change it Halle Berry Larg Boy Regina King like the list goes on that's how I would change it. Halle Berry, Lark Voorhees, this week, like the list goes on and on. Uh, you know,

it, it just goes on. Um, so what do I, what I would, what I'd want to change? Um, I think it would have been great.

I haven't thought of this question ever. So kudos to you for a good question. I think, I think I could, it would have been interesting to see JD.D. actually face more heartbreak. You know, he's sort of bizarrely this Casanova who's – you know, I know that he's silly and funny and he's a doctor. So, you know, he's a decent – and he's got a big heart. So he's a good catch.

But, you know, he did a lot of the dating and breaking up. And I think it would have been interesting to see him get his heart crushed. I mean, obviously there's a little bit with Elliot and the different men that she has, but he always seems kind of okay with it. And I think that heartbreak we've all been through, we've all been on the side of it, like, oh, you don't want to get out of bed. You're fucking in pain. And some people get super depressed until they pull out of it. And I don't think that's anything we ever really covered that would have been good to cover because I think it's super relatable. And I think Bill would have written it really, really well.

Like when you're really, really, really suffering from heartbreak. Nice. I agree. nice i agree i actually would like to see jd get struggle more than he did in a series throughout his professional life or personal life i agree i agree um and it could have been obviously we would have been bill's mastery of making it dramatic and then funny but you know i just think it's a it's it's just a you know it's such a human thing to go through that a breakup and a painful one and um and i just feel like jd was almost teflon in a way he never really you know he never really got too down ever about any of these women now clearly part of the story is that

none of them matter to him as much as elliot but even with elliot you know he's like fine with her you know i mean he makes jokes about it like nobody cares sean but he but you know he's like fine with her you know I mean he makes jokes about it like nobody cares Sean but he but you know he's relatively fine with her dating I don't know that's just what came to my mind I think I think that's all going to change when we when we get later on I think uh Keith and uh Sean definitely uh I know but there's never a moment dude where he's like you know like like like we've all been like truly like depressed and and bummed out and like i'm never gonna find anyone else you know well he's the narrator of the show would be really i think it would be tough for anybody to watch the show if the narrator of the show is there'd be humor mixed in bro

all right okay sorry sorry daniel someone disagrees with my suggestion daniel just wanted Well, of course there'd be humor mixed in, bro. All right. Sorry, Daniel. Someone disagrees with my suggestion. Daniel just wanted to see your ass suffer. He's like, I just wanted JD to suffer, dude. Daniel's like, why was there no S&M scene where JD's tortured? All right. Daniel, those Swedes, they're crazy. All right, Daniel, go ahead.

Another one. Another question. Yes. So unfortunately, money ahead. Another one. Another question. Yes, so unfortunately, money ruins around the world nowadays. My question is to you, what would you do with unlimited funds? Meaning, what would you do with unlimited resources?

Us as people or on the show? Yeah, us as people. What would Donald do with unlimited resources? He'd have like a fucking... First of all, he would have his own golf course. No of all he would have unlimited resources no with unlimited resources i try and get back to the earth first right try to get back to society first if you have unlimited resources what are you talking about oh he's back to the earth no i

think he doesn't want to hear about your fucking philanthropy he's playing a game with you like if you had endless amount of money what would you do with your life yes we know that you'd be charity oh okay so and then after yes after you've saved the world i would build a giant biodome oh and i would and i would like the movie yeah but it would be gigantic like huge like huge and i'd build anything and everything I wanted in it. And I would isolate myself from the rest of the world because in a few years, global warming is going to take over and we're all going to be underwater anyway. But my biodome. No, your biodome would be waterproof, I take it. Absolutely.

When the sea level rises. Right. My biodome would then waterproof, I take it. Absolutely. When the sea level rises. Right. My biodome would then become Atlantis. Amazing. Got it. I don't know if I can top a gargantuan biodome. That becomes Atlantis. Especially if I can't use all of this money for philanthropy.

Because I can solve all of that with one stroke of the pen. The game is not fun if you're like, I'd give it all to charity. No, the game is like, what would you fucking daydream in your brain if you were Elon Musk or Bill Gates? I would build a biodome slash ark. Okay. So the biodome is able to float when the sea levels rise. No, not just float. It also can submerge.

Oh, submerge. And not only can it submerge, but it can also fly. At some point, it can hover in the sky like the Avengers helipad. Similarly, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Larry Ellison, who founded Oracle has like the biggest Ultra mega yacht

In the world and it's got like Submarines And helicopter pads and like You know the most badass Yacht in the world like your own I would love to have that I'll take that Yeah if you could survive the wave You know what I mean

I'll come visit you in your in your underwater biodome yeah you could survive take my submarine down to your fucking biodome it's the way it's either going to be wave or a heat or heat one or the other or ice wave heat or ice what's another way the earth can end we're going through plague right now lava famine that's heat famine yeah um you know you know what else is happening nowadays is that the birth rate is going down yes i saw that you remember no one's fucking no one's fucking remember when we were too depressed when our parents were kids they were so worried about the earth in the future being apocalyptic because we would have so much so many people we'd be overpopulated that didn't happen well i mean i

think the population is still um yes daniel had to pull his mic close hold on we're not even let daniel school you because population is a problem hold on hold on we're not even we're not even doubling our so like if a family if a household is two people one person is being produced out of that house so where it's back in the 1950s five but that might just be north america i i don't think that's globally i think i'm talking about i'm talking about america yes i don don't know. Daniel, will you educate us? Why is the declining what I think is American birth rate a problem if overpopulation is such a concern globally? I think it's – I mean it's too – all right. To be honest with you, I don't have a spectacular answer here. If you don't know, don't answer.

But I just thought you might know because you're so knowledgeable. Okay, that's very kind of you. I mean, like, do I honor you, sir? You certainly do honor me. I mean, overall, I mean, overpopulation is already an issue. We're already taking more from the earth than we're putting back at all. Whether that's a climate thing that we try and fix or environmental Paris Climate Accord kind of issue that we can approach together, we are still overfishing our oceans. We're still like, you know, we are eliminating the bee population. We are ruining our opportunities to create more food for the amount of people we have on the earth already. I think the decline the rainforest, rainforest all gone. There's so many, there's a lot of problems right now. I think,

I think the over, I think the, you know, we don't want a children of men situation where we stop having babies so much that we don't have any – we don't have a next generation anymore. But that's not necessarily because of like a disease. It's a million things. It's like a money issue. It's a – No, but why – this is my dumb question that I'm sure someone listening knows the answer to and is screaming at their phone. And I'm sorry. I don't know the answer.

But why – if overpopulation is such a big deal, why is our birth rate in the US going down a bad thing? I got that. If we can look to Japan who has last generation saw a large decline in babies. You then have an older population without a younger population to support them. I see. And they're not paying into the system. Right, right.

But then you also have, well, there's less workers, right? So we've developed a system that requires X amount of workers to produce X amount of dollars to keep our economy going. And we have less workers and an aging population

that cannot be supported. That causes a lot of issues for the economy. Go ahead and put it. That's the best way to put it, Joelle. You saw the same news thing that I saw this morning. Well, Joelle, I need to honor you because your answer was so much more lucid than Daniel's.

I'm going to cut mine and I'll just put Joelle's. No, don't cut yours. I think the audience needs to see that you can be foiled. I certainly don't know everything. That's why I often say, throw to Joelle. It's bullshit. If you edit the show, you can be foiled. I certainly don't know everything. That's why I often say throw the show out. It's bullshit. If you edit the show, you can be like, I don't like the way I sounded there.

I'm taking it out. No, I'll keep it. Daniel, do you ever go back and re-record a more articulate answer? That would be fun. Hell yeah, he does. Hell yeah, you do. If I was in charge, I definitely would. I would.

If I was, I'd be like, wait, I don't like what I said. Let me read it. You know Daniel's up late one night, like pulling bong. It's being like, let me rewrite that answer. I got too many beats to make for Donald to worry about re-saying something I said on the show. All right, Ollie. Listen, it's time for Sweden's favorite segment, Daniel. It's time to fix your

life! Thank you. Alright, how can we help your life? We cannot bring the sun to you. I'm sorry. I did already fix your life. I did already fix your life by telling you to buy one of those seasonal affective disorder lamps on

Amazon. Go ahead. So this is more advice, my life. As Joel might know, I'm a medical student. So that means I'm about to become a doctor in two years. But growing up, being a doctor wasn't my main goal. I actually started thinking about a more universal idea of healthcare. I've been traveling a lot during my short period of lifetime and I've seen many poverty's around the world and unfortunately in Sweden we have

free universal healthcare so that's quite nice for us but mostly anywhere you go there isn't and just basic healthcare isn't provided to most of children, adults, and like many people around the world. And that's a huge problem. And mostly, unfortunately, people are capitalizing on this. And that's a huge bummer. So I came up with a plan or an idea to start my own organization, quite similar to Doctors Without doctors without borders but in a more modern nuanced way focusing on this basic primary care not like because doctors without borders are mostly specialized care in traumatized areas so my idea for my organization or the charity organization I want to develop is a more a health care center throughout

these youth developed countries which is more focused on developing or offering free health care in the most basic ways and being supported by mostly by medical students because throughout my education as I have observed that many med students are eager to go out to the world to help people and that's very hard to do nowadays of course because of the pandemic but before also because it's very strictly regulated you can't really go anywhere to help people in a way you can as a medical student as you're as you can because of this hard strict regulation and the short periods that you can go for example in the summers there's very few programs that let you go in the summer to like volunteer somewhere and i'm so you're saying you want to develop a charity he wants to

yeah he wants to get med students way more involved. When med students are off, for example, the summer, and they have a lot of knowledge and a lot of drive and a lot of motivation, and they want to go help people, but there's no system that allows them to do that, is what you're saying. Exactly, because it's a win-win situation, because medical students in the late years are very competent, actually.

Very competent, especially for this basic health yeah you're not talking about doing surgery you're talking about basic health care yeah because it's a trend nowadays to help people everyone wants to go to a poverty country and help people to volunteer it's it's more starting to act like a trend by the youth and that's like a win-win situation for people who wants to boost their resumes for the future and to go to volunteer like this is also a huge boost to getting jobs in the future so it's like a win-win situation but all this kind of structuring and organization that takes money and money doesn't come for free it's so do you have a plan in place i mean um it seems to me again this is an area I know nothing about, but that if you're very articulate,

if you can really refine the plan and then put up a website that will articulate the plan, you can start to build momentum and get your message out there. And once it seems legit and you can prove that it's legit that will attract potential um charitable donations yeah exactly the idea is like to develop health care centers that are placed throughout the world in place that are needed this basic care of help and then to start up with some kind of donation model that i've been thinking about and writing down of course to help the foundation going by getting voluntarily donations from the people so my my advice that I need from you is how do I get started because I'm just an oriental guy from a small country in Sweden so I don't have these

kind of resources that I can contact like a public figure to get help or to get clout or to get like my name dropped or the organization to help the first thing the first thing that comes to my mind if if you were if you were sitting next to me and you're my friend and you're like got any ideas kind of like you are i would say that you're very articulate and passionate about this i would make uh yeah i would first of all create a website and and and you can do that, you know, very inexpensively. And then I would make a really concise video, like maybe a two minute pitch max, where you explain this. And you can have a friend, if you have a friend who's good at video editing, or, you know, you can find someone who can help you cut it together and really just right to the

lens, like explain your pitch. And, you know, I'm starting from scratch, but I'm passionate about this. Please like, and share, you know, maybe make an Instagram account about it because that's where everybody is these days. And that will help to get, you know, you know, like anybody, everything, if something's intriguing enough, it will go, it can, it can catch momentum. Uh, Joelle, when you do this, if, and when you do this, Joelle will put us, uh, we'll get us the video and we'll blast it out on our social media. That that's the start. But I think that you are so sincere and I think that people will really respond to your message. You were saying like, this is the idea, especially if you were enrolling

people and saying, I'm just starting. I need your help. And this is what you can do. If you have no money, share this with your friends. If you've got five bucks, put it towards this. If you've got 100 grand, call me. But whatever, you do something charming and enrolling that will get people, especially your fellow med students who are going to be interested in this, they'll start sharing it and telling other people about it. Start with your community. So like if you've got

six great med school friends, like start with that. That's only going to grow from there. Because when you start, when you like make this legitimate by really thinking it out and making a website where everything is super lucid and super clear. Like it's impossible to misunderstand, you know, simple is better with the video shorter is better. If you can do your pitch in one minute, great. Like make it so clear that no one could misunderstand it and then give them an action. The action is if you can't afford to donate, if you get a call to action, if you can't afford to donate, I you get call to action, if you can't afford to donate, I, I plead with you to help spread the word, share this with all your friends.

If you can donate, you know, you'll have to set up a way for people to donate to the foundation, you know, all that stuff, which is way beyond my pay grade. But that's another thing I would do, get someone involved who knows how to build foundations. They might not even be a med school student. They might just be someone who's passionate about doing charitable work and team up with that person. So you can handle the doctor aspect of it and be the face of it and be the person who's enrolling people, but also someone with an expertise in building a charitable foundation could really help you. And get you a good lawyer also at the end of the day because you're dealing with something that is uh that is you know health care health care all types of services when it comes to health services eventually something will go wrong you need somebody to watch your back

well i'm not even i of course eventually you need that but i'm saying like you'll need a lawyer to navigate all the laws that you'll be having to navigate that too that too but you're also going to need a lawyer to i mean who knows how who knows what uh come what legal issues will come up ahead when you're starting something so uh when you're starting an initiative like this yeah the good news is you'll have some time because of the pandemic. I think you can use this year as a building year because I don't think, as far as I can tell, no one's going to be able to really be going to random countries this year.

No, exactly. But you could think of this as, oh my God, this is a sign from the universe. This is the building year. And then in 2022, we're going to fucking explode this thing. Yeah, I always thought it like that. And look, you got a whiteboard right behind you. You can write this all over it.

I was going to say, you got the board behind you. This is the mind map. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine.

And also what's really moving to me is that you live in a country where all your health care is taken care of right you don't you don't ever you don't would anyone in sweden would a citizen of sweden ever pay for you know i'm sure cosmetic shit aside for a not for a non-cosmetic anything medical, would they pay for anything? Basically, no. The healthcare is really easy, very easy, accessible, and also free. That made me open my eyes because I'm very, very fortunate to be here. It's real things I shouldn't be here at all.

But when I go three hours south, I see people that are living in the street and not able to die by basic infections that could be solved by a two-year medical student that could just give them something. It's so amazing because, you know, one of the things that's moving to me is that you're saying,

I'm so blessed to live in this country where healthcare is so figured out that you just, no matter who you are, you don't pay a dime. And I want to take my knowledge and go help people that aren't in the system. You're a really good human being. It just seems to me that basic health care should be a human right, not just a citizen right.

It seems so wrong that it should be like a political debate whether we should have health care or not. It should be a basic human right. I agree you know in this country if you really in this country even if you have great insurance um uh if something tragic happens to you you'll you'll go broke yeah so in that sense I'll just ask if I may if Joel could post my email address uh at your links so if anyone listening to this are interesting or are engaged in this as I am, I need all the help I can. I can't do this alone. So that's great.

Joel will put your email in the show comments, right? In the show notes, yeah. And make sure it's an email that's not your personal one because you might be getting dick pics and we don't want that for you. Don't want no dick pics. And just to be clear, it's not for financial gain. So it's just for charity. He's not trying to make a dime. You're too good. I want no dick pics. And just to be clear, it's not for financial gain. So it's just for charity. He's not trying to make a dime. You've heard his pitch.

He's just starting. If you're a med student and you like what he's saying, email him. If you're a philanthropist and you like what he's saying, get in touch with him. If you're super rich and you're like, I want to help this kid. He's the fucking future. Then email him. But, dude, really, really amazing work. And please keep us updated because when you do have some of this up and running, Donald and I will both blast it out on our Instagrams.

And that will at least help as well. It will be my year to work on it. So, of course, I will be challenged. All right. Well, we can't say you're welcome to you. We can say thank you to you. Right?

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Daniel Gordani! All right. Thanks, man. Thank you for coming on the show and good luck in your project.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. Take care, Daniel. Bye. What a guy. All right. Wow, for having me. Thank you, Daniel. Bye. What a guy. Wow, dude. Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

And ladies, Endgame, he's hot. So, there he is. Just, if I need to just fill in a little color commentary,

he's a very good looking man. So, guys, that still means no dick pics, guys. Okay? But ladies, if you're single you might want to hit up the hot swedish med student let's get back into the show because we are going long yeah we're going long today um elliot got the janitor to be dr reed that was so funny and

you know what's so funny is that neil and the the janitor is he's he has being a janitor so in his blood that he he gets distracted by a smudge on the window the janitor is actually into cleaning like he it's like you said it's so in his blood yes he cannot hold his performance as a doctor together because he sees a smudge on the window. He takes out the spray. He has a little spray in his pocket and he sprays it. Yeah, that's his pocket. That's his pocket washer.

That was really funny. He got the little airport container pocket spray thing. What about – I mean, Juliana Margulies and I are having sex on the table and then Ted pops up. Did we win? He's been knocked out the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What was the chest back and face hair? What was that? Oh, the tattoo. I, we, we cut to,

I've got, that's what it was. That's what it was. That looked really real, by the way. They did a good job. They did a great job. It was on your chest, and then it was her back, and then on her back, you had her hair.

Yeah. So on your chest, it was her face, and on the back, it was her hair. Yeah, that was so funny. Like, it wasn't enough that you had her on your front. She was like, no, they got to know that it's me from the back, too. Yeah, and by the way, that work would have taken like weeks and that would take months are you kidding me months because it has to line up with the front too the hair had to line up

because when you turn it was amazing i guess it was a decal because i i remember it i don't remember being uh um somebody painting you right i mean first of all that would have been really really hard and it looked great so it was a decal but it looked good it didn't look fake um what what's this hey there's no pie here was that the todd no i feel what is it i need to remember to write down who said that i i i i listen i i watched this one when we did the richard kind one so with the same here so it's the same here so it's been a second two i wrote down hey there's no pie here i don't remember what that is and then i wrote down i fear i've said too much i don't know what that oh it's richard kine richard kine

so richard kine is brought into the room to talk to turk by carla oh that's right that's right because she wants him to admit that turk is a good surgeon and that the reason why he sued was because he was an asshole right so so the line is hey wait a minute there's no pie here and so turk is in the room and he's like wait a second i see what this is you're trying to freaking intimidate me. You really think that's going to work? Seriously, is there no pie? He goes, you think that's going to work? Seriously, is there no pie? Yeah, because she lured him with pie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then he says something. He goes, I fear I've said too much. Yeah, well, that's after he said that. It's after he says that he was a, after he says that he was a you know because he was good at tennis people had to hang out with him thing is nobody likes him right because he's kind of a jerk he's a jerk but when they play tennis with him he has something that people admire and people want to see and so that that makes them, for however long it is that he's playing tennis with them, on the same level. Because he's got that rock and serve.

Right, and so Carla's like, so you did this? You tortured my husband because you wanted to, because you feel, I forget what her exact words are, but then he says at the end of what she says i feel like i've said too much because he divulges way too much information about why he why he put turk through all this right you know this episode is about women strong women saving the day yes you know carla um uh jordan and elliot all save the day. It's also about women being on the same side of each other. Yes.

Like, you know, and, you know, if you're going to stand for something, stand with someone, you know what I mean? Written by Deb Fordham, we should point out. Stand with somebody who stands for the same things that you stand for. And this episode's about, you know, woman power and how, you know, it's about so many things. How it's unequal in the workplace. How it's, you know, this episode, it really talks about a lot of the things that are going on right now. And how disrespected women are in the world period and you know we address it's crazy that we've been addressing this for so long and it seems like 10 years from now we'll have the

same conversation again you know it's the same conversation hopefully there's steps forward you know absolutely but it's like it it it gets frustrating you know what i mean you we it took us the whole episode to get there. And now that we're here, it's like, dang, man, this is still a conversation that we have to have. And we'll probably have it later on. Just like racial equality is the same.

Yeah, they do the Kill Bill fantasy thing. And I wonder what the importance of that was in this storyline when you're showing such badass women well they're showing because at the time kill bill was like uma thurman was like such a badass so it was like we're gonna have jordan be the ultimate badass woman and save jd from this abusive relationship right and then and then to pay her off he has to break in her jeans. Right. And then he smacks his ass over and over again. Those jeans were so tight. And then we end with the tiny versions of us,

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policymakers, and so many other fascinating people, like jazz bassist Christian McBride. Jazz is based on improvisation, but there's very much a form to it. You have a conversation based on that melody and those chord changes.
