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.

Hi, everybody. What's up? What's up? Hi, hi, hi. Hi, guys. Hi, Donald Faison. Hi, how are you, man? I can't complain, Donald. I can't complain. I know you can't complain, motherfucker. I love you so much.

I love you so much. I wish I could give you a tight hug. Breast to breast. I would receive said hug with open arms. Let me tell you. I would lift my breasts and then lower them onto yours. Wow. Yeah, I would see a little

pickup and then I would just drape them onto yours. You would lift up your non-existent boobs. Well, don't call them non-existent for long. My pectoralis majors are coming in. I didn't say you had I didn't say you didn't have pecs. I said you don't have boobs.

Dude, you are in shape. Right now, I'm not. Listen. Listen. I get it. No, you listen. No, you listen. Gab Union is in real shape right now. Yes, I'm looking at Gab Union's Instagram, and I'm getting back on that Peloton for longer amounts of time. I can't stand next to her looking like a melted candle. I think my nude stuff is coming up, or there's a scene coming up.

Right. My dude, I'm not going to lie. I work out, but I don't necessarily eat the best yeah he ain't ready well i would think if i had a sex scene coming up uh i would and i was you i would go all out with everything throw the kitchen sink here's the thing here's the thing i'll this is the poll that i want to uh because my wife still loves me regardless of what weight i am i don't think if i had a six-pack i don't think my wife would be like damn man come here and give me that really because i don't think

she would you said she's lusting all over the bridgerton guy yeah but that's come on man that's a dude on television who's playing a character. Right. Who's written specifically for that. You know what I mean? If that guy in real life, I don't know what he's like, but I imagine he's not as smooth as Bridgerton is. No, I'm just saying that he- And if he is, he has to put on the Bridgerton accent. That's all I'm saying.

My point is, and the dude is in shape, sure, whatever. But I imagine my wife would still love me regardless of whatever shape I'm in, right? So the poll I want out there is what do women prefer? You know what I mean? That's the question. If you really want to, if you really want to tell me at me, at Zach, at Joelle and at Daniel, what do women prefer for real? Or how about this? What do you prefer? I can tell, I know what Zach's going to say. about this what do you prefer i i can say i know what zach's gonna say i know what he prefers i'm asking what do you prefer listen i i don't i don't know i'm sure it's each their own women like different things um for me um for example my girlfriend's not super into abs and being ripped

me being ripped but for myself before i go shirtless in next to gabrielle union in a giant movie i want to i want to at least try to get as lean as possible i feel you on that one that's that's that's a listen man i totally get it man because look if it was me next to gab union right now it would be everybody be like how how did that? What did he do? All right. Listen, you know what I'm most excited about is this live show. Everyone's talking. Dude, it's going crazy right now.

We're starting to get some momentum. People are talking about it on the interwebs. And I'm the more people that are talking about it and saying they're so stoked, the more like excited and brainstorming I'm getting about ideas. I know because now it's getting to the point where we really goting I'm getting about ideas. I know. Cause now it's getting to the point where we really got to think about this dude. We can't just,

we can't just put out some bullshit. We got to give them what they want. You and I don't put out bullshit, but we have to, we have to give them something good. Right. And, um,

you know, so one idea I came up with is this is something I'd like to run by you. I started running it by you guys in the group chat. But I think, you know, I'm tired of trying. I've done all I can to recruit a dating app to come on and sponsor the date Joelle Monique segment. And we haven't had any responses, not even from farmers only. No one is interested in coming aboard for this. I thought that one of our listeners

might have a friend who works at, although I just, as I'm saying this out loud, met a woman who works at Bumble. Joelle, will you remind me to reach out to that woman at Bumble I just met? All right. But the point is, we're taking matters into our own hands. This is my idea, Donald. Now, you tell me if and when you hate it. We set up an email. It's called DateJoelleMonique at gmail.com. If you think that you are a good perspective suitor for Joelle, you should submit a few sentences of why you're perfect to go on a date, probably virtually at this point, with Joelle. Now, we don't want any dirty talk. If you try and get dirty with it, you're eliminated. Certainly, if you submit a dick pic, you're out. We don't want to see your dick. As Daniel said last week, no dick pics.

No dick pics and nothing inappropriate. But I'll give you an example if I was trying to get on this, right? I would say, Miss Monique, you are so beautiful. I am so charmed by your voice. And I can't think of anything more perfect on my Friday night than pulling bong hits, watching Rebels, and petting your puppy. It's a pretty sweet date right there. Will you please let me have a Zoom chat with you, all right? Now, that's the kind of thing that, you know, don't steal my shit,

but that's the kind of thing that would be appropriate. And then maybe some pictures of yourself or your Instagram. Probably if you have an Instagram handle, send it because let's be honest, you know, looks are a part of this. And then if you don't have an Instagram handle, send it, because let's be honest, looks are a part of this. And then if you don't have an Instagram handle, send some pictures. Now, my idea, Donald, is that we and by we I mean Joelle and Daniel, go through

all of the emails and we pick the two best candidates and bring them on the live show and do our own date Joelle Monique dating game. That would be so fucking awesome. I knew you'd love it. But the only way it's awesome is if Joelle wants to do it.

Oh, Joelle, do you want to do it? I didn't even ask you. We are so far into this. I'm definitely down. Okay. She's down.

Well, well, I have, I have doubts. I have, you know, dating is weird. So we'll see. We'll see. I have doubts. I have, you know, dating is weird. So we'll see. I encourage you guys to just bring your A game and let's see what happens. At the very least, we'll probably meet some interesting people and that'll be fun.

I don't know. And also, they can be men or women, right, Joelle? Yeah. Everybody is welcome to apply. Everybody is welcome. You can be a woman who's interested in women or a man who's interested in women. And I think that what we'll do – I haven't figured out all the logistics yet. Donald, should we hide the person so Joelle – Billy, should we hide the person so Joelle can't see them?

We're going to figure out how to make it the most fun. But then here's what I – but wait, wait, wait. My last thing is i know this is complicated guys and i'm sorry this is just you're hearing the live brainstorming for the live show because i'm so excited about the live show we found this website where you can take quick polls and then my thought is i'm going to let the crying dog out in one second billy i'm'm trying to set Joelle up. We can have the audience, everyone watching the live show, go to this website where you can do live polls, and they'll

pick, now Joelle, it'll ultimately be up to you, but just like the dating game, we'll be able to say the audience has selected Jimmy or Karen. I love it. Can I ask another question? Will there be a follow-up? Of course.

To said date? Of course. It's just, we're just stealing the, we're stealing the structure. We're going to do exactly the dating game. Well, not exactly. We're stealing some, I'm not going to say we'll be back in two and two.

No, of course not. But it's no, it's no longer, I'm sure it's no longer copywritten by them. So format wise, I'm sure anyone can do this by now. Right. But do you like the, again, audience and team here, we're going to hammer out the details, but this, this is the kind of shit I have insomnia anyway. I can't sleep, but this is the kind of shit I'm up thinking about.

I'm so excited about the live show that I'm like, okay, there needs to be a Joelle dating game section where the audience can go to that website that we found and take a quick poll. Which person do you prefer? Do we do the whole – Joelle, do you select who you chose or who the audience chose? Well, I'm going to choose the contestants, right? So I will let the audience select the person that i will spend some time with yeah um but you can but but can't but after this at the date and on the dating game you would choose also you'd be like this is who i want to go out with oh my god and then the audience and then the audience would be like well this is who we think you should go out with and sometimes it

would be you know they would they would. What happens if it's different people? What happens then? Then you would be asked, what do you want to do, Joelle? Do you want to go out with who you chose? I do not want to be in that position. So I'm just going to let the audience choose. No, wait. All right.

Well, okay. It's up to you. You're the queen of all things fake doctors, real friends. But I think what's going to happen is before joelle decides she we're going to tell her who the audience has preferred and we're going to do two people because i think they do i forgot if they do two or three it's three that's too many we're gonna do we can't have this be the whole show this is gonna be a segment well look oh okay it doesn't have to be the whole show we could do it and we could get the get rid of the first person within one minute and then the last two

you know what i mean you know what everybody pitches everybody like they gotta pitch you gotta bring your a game you gotta bring your a game and then she picks the two that she wants to stay right but they're not staying they're not staying for the whole show what's gonna happen is we're gonna say okay uh jimmy or karen Susie or Bill, thank you for – you won. If there's a Karen in there, oh, my gosh. No, it's just the first names. It could be whatever. So then –

Let me digress a little bit. Imagine Joelle picks like a classic Karen with that Karen cut. Oh, no. No. Yeah, I can No. Yeah. I can't foresee that. But listen. But listen.

So then, you guys, Joelle will go off and she'll have her date Zoom. That's what you'll win. You'll win a date Zoom with Joelle. Probably pulling bong hits and watching Rebels. And then...

Best night ever. I'm just described... Joelle, I just want you to know you're my cup of tea, mama. Best night ever. Donald, you can't participate. I know. I'm married, too. Yeah, I just want you to know you're my cup of tea, mama. Best night ever. Donald, you can't participate. I know. I'm married, too.

I know. Donald's going to be sending in an email for this. Oh, my God. It would be the best conversations ever. Listen, I know from our text and our Instagram exchanges, it would be magnificent. It would be. Thank you, Joelle.

You guys would just sit there being like, no, because he shot first. You know, all that shit. Well, we already know how that goes, man. Come on now. All right. So we're excited. Joelle, do I have your permission to pursue this plan? Turn that key.

All right. Yes! All right. Now let's let everyone know, double check, the email that we signed up for already, Joelle, is DateJoelleMonique at gmail.com. That is correct. J-O-E-L-L-E-M-O-N-I-Q-U-E. There you go.

That sounds right. Oh my God. I'm so excited. Joel, listen, I'm very excited for this. As long as this is something she wants to do. If this is something that you feel we are pressuring you into. No, no, she doesn't feel that. And plus, you know, we also did a little iMessaging to each other, too.

So I wasn't pulling this out of my ass. Joelle's the one who's helped set up the email. So she's just not surprised by this, you know? Yeah, no, so we're good. I think, although, do you guys think it would be cool if, cool if like you guys voted if the three of you had a vote and the audience voted yeah oh yeah absolutely i have a feeling there's gonna be a clear i mean my sense is there might be a clear front runner but i i i think if we if we pick them right and by the way you i don't know shit how does happen? We can't pick for her.

We can't pick for her. No, no, no. It's just like if you're on an app and you were swiping left or right. That's anonymous until it's not. I know, but listen, what's the worst that's going to happen? You're going to spend 15 minutes Zooming with someone. What if I hurt somebody's feelings? I feel bad.

Listen. Okay, okay, okay. So there it is. There is a disclaimer then. Here's the disclaimer. Be prepared to get dissed because this is dating and this is how it goes. We're not going to be rude to you, but we're going to say on this particular first date, Joelle has chosen Fuquan.

Oh, my God. I tried to go opposite of Karen. I know what you did because you went straight up typical names and then you got- Well, I knew no matter what name I said, you were going to criticize it, so I tried to go as far away from Bill and Karen as possible. I like Bill. Bill's a good name. I like it. I'm not going to lie. Until the whole Karen thing started happening,

Karen was a nice name. There were a lot of people who wouldn't. Really, it wasn't? By the way, Bill's so cute. He texted me this morning. He's like, hey man, I'm on the live show, right? Right on. We sent you an email yesterday, Bill. Aw.

Yes. No, Bill is really, I love it when he gets like needy. He's like, am I on the live show? Anyway, Bill is not only going to be on the live show, guys, but he's also going to be on our family feud, which is so thrilling. Although the only negative thing is we learned that it doesn't air until the summer. Which is fine. Oh, word? Yeah, but that's fine.

I know the summer's going to be here like that. That's fine. You know what? It'll be on YouTube. By the way, did you guys watch us on Drew Barrymore? I saw the clips. Oh, no, I did not. Did you see her in the onesie? I did see her in Drew Barrymore? I saw the clips from Drew. Oh, no, I did not. Oh, my gosh.

Did you see her in the onesie? I did see her in the onesie. I saw that, though. That was amazing. She looked fabulous. Oh, my God. It was so funny. I did not think she was going to come out wearing that onesie, Donald.

And she did. I was very happy she did. I was very happy she did. That actually, shout out Drew Barrymore, man. Thank you for representing me. She said she'd come on our podcast. Yeah. Should we have her on?

Yeah, I think so. I think it would be great to- What the fuck? Sorry. Drew Barrymore is going to come here? Drew Barrymore said, I said on her live show, would you come on the podcast? You cornered her on her live show. You cornered her on her show.

Well, I did corner her, but I know that she genuinely loved Scrubs. And I know that she genuinely loves me and Donald. So I don't know why she wouldn't take an hour and come on and plug her show. She doesn't even have to do an hour, but she could come on, plug her show. We could talk about whatever episode, or we could just do a conversation with Drew. I think we do a conversation with Drew Barrymore because, I mean, think how many great stories Drew Barrymore has. I'm not going to be a whole person. I can't be expected to truly produce that episode.

I'm going to try so hard. Drew freaking Barrymore. Oh, my God. Okay. It's fine. Florence told me that she could recite every single one of Drew's lines from Charlie's Angels. Because it's a mother effing classic. It's like a top tier movie.

I guess Jewel can too. Oh, my God. All right. Well, that's a lot of shit going on. There's so much to talk about. Shall we get into our theme song, Donald? Five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made.

About a bunch of docs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. I said here's a story that you all should know. So gather round to hear our. Gather round to hear our. So one of the reasons I have to pee all the time is I spoke to this nutritionist, right? Because I've never spoken to a nutritionist in my life. And, you know, she gave me a whole bunch of things to do. But, of course, the first thing they all tell you is you really have to drink a lot of water because we all know that, but we don't do it. So I bought this thing. It's this giant.

It's – what is this? How many liters? It's 2,000 milliliters, which is what? Two liters? How many liters? Yeah, it looks like two liters right there. All right. So it has all these inspirational quotes on it with times like, you got this keep going drink more and and i've been drinking it now of course you have to pee

like peeing becomes a part of your life in a whole new way because you're like you always have to pee yeah you even dread going on long car drive rides i know i'm like yeah this is my day two of this and i'm like having to strategize where the where the bathroom to be. You'll get ripped quick because of it, though. But, bro, apparently this is like one third of what I'm supposed to drink. Yeah, you're supposed to literally... Okay, so check this out. An ounce a pound, I heard. Check this out.

When I... So for Kick-Ass 2, I got into sick shape, right? Like sick shape. When I say sick shape, I was pretty ripped. Like more ripped than I'd ever been in my life. Yeah. I wanted to redo it. And so I went to a nutritionist like you did.

This man had me drinking damn near three gallons of water a day. Oh, Lord. Let me tell you something. It's like a side job. Jesus Christ. But let like a side job. Jesus Christ. But let me tell you something. You never feel better. You feel, first of all,

your system feels like it's at maximum drive, dude, because you are now fueling your body with what you are mostly made of, which is water. And so now you're flushing your system and putting new water in, and there's minerals, and you're taking your multivitamins,

and now that's streaming through. Your gut is all of a sudden, like everything, water is so essential, and we take it for granted. I take it for granted so much. I do too, man. It's like not putting oil in your car, I think. Yeah. And I've never done it.

I've always, and I'm really trying to turn over some new leaves because why not? I mean, we got all this time. And so I'm trying. And I put a little, I put an emergency packet in it, you know, so it has a little bit of flavor, you know, very mild flavor. Because otherwise, I'm way more apt to drink it if there's just even a smidgen of a flavor if it's just water I'm like ugh dreading it so I'm trying are you guys infusing your water

are you doing that super like pH balanced water well you can do that too there's that too well I have a filter on my tap but it's filtered tap and then I you know the packet has shit the packet has like electrolytes and shit. When I did remember the Titans,

what the trainer who trained us for that movie told us to do the day before we had our shirtless scenes was drink distilled water because then that flushes out all the salt and minerals in your body. And so then your skin shrinks. Did you notice it? Oh, fuck yeah, dude. Yeah, and then that morning you're supposed to eat oatmeal

so that the day of you eat oatmeal, so that soaks all of the water, the leftover water, into the oatmeal and you get ripped. Anyway, I'm trying to just, you know, why not take on a hobby of like how healthy can you eat? That's what I'm trying to do. I like that.

That's great. Should we talk about your recap? Do you have a recap? I don't have a recap today. Oh, I see. So there's sort of a new pattern. Like you fucking drop these ridiculous raps. And then on other days you take time off to refresh your brain. It can't be all the time. And I think DJ Dano, his beats are precious.

That last beat was fire, DJ Dano. That last beat was fire. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. What did you think of this episode? So we were talking about this Matthew Perry episode. It is 411, My Unicorn. Yes.

In some ways, it's a bit of a B-side. Well, the get was that we had Matthew Perry on the show. Yes. That was the huge, that was the great thing about it. The epi, after watching the episode today, it was a okay episode. It's like,

it's, it's, it's got, doesn't have that many funny. Yeah. It's a, but some B sides are dope and it's, you know,

this is like the, I don't know. It's a good episode. Casey was like, wow, that one wasn't that funny. That's what she said to me. She was like, it's good. She was like, it's a good, it was good. But it wasn't that funny.

Like the story in it is pretty cool. The connection between the dad, the grandfather, like if I'm not mistaken, isn't that Matt Perry's real dad? So in the episode, the actor playing Matt's father is his father. And is that his grandfather? No. By the way, I had to look at it. It's funny. Because it said his last name was Perry also.

So the guy playing old Murray, who's, you know, if you recall this episode, every time they say Murray, all these old men pop their heads out the doors because Matthew Perry's like, why did you name him Murray? It's an old person name. So just coincidentally, I read on Scrubs Wiki, the actor who I imagine might not even be with us anymore because he was playing an ancient man, was Anthony Perry, no relation to Matt Perry. But John Bennett Perry plays his father.

And he was great, by the way. He plays the guitar and he sings and he was very charming. And I thought he did a great job. He did a very good job. And I thought Matt did a great job too. I think- And Matt directed it. You ever noticed that people usually do a good job when they direct themselves? Well, I think Matt at the time, as I recall, was,

was interested in maybe getting to doing more directing. And, and Bill said, come do scrubs, come guest star, and we'll let you direct one. I think that's kind of what, they're pretty good friends,

aren't they? I don't know if they would say they're good friends. They're friendly. Obviously, Bill was super close with Courtney Cox because they did Cougar Town together. And everyone, you know, hangs out at Courtney's house. And I think – and Courtney has lots of barbecues and stuff. So I think Bill got to know Matt there. Okay.

But I don't think that he and Matt ever hang out. Oh, no. I don't think they ever really, like, hang out or do Matt there. Okay. I don't think that he and Matt ever hang out. Oh, no, I don't think they ever really, like, hang out or do shit together. Okay. But anyway, there's some... There are... That having been said, there are a handful of laugh-out-loud moments.

You're... First of all, the introduction of JD's journal. This is called My Unicorn because I'm given the journal by Matt Perry's dad, and I instantly draw what I claim is a horse with a sword on its head. Yes. Who's there to protect my hopes and dreams. Yes.

Which everybody else sees as a unicorn. Yes. And you correct them over and over again also. Now why? And then the unicorn comes to life in an animated sequence and says, you know I'm a unicorn. Yeah. So why is J.D. embarrassed to have a unicorn? So he's saying it's not a unicorn.

It's a horse with a sword on its head. Yes. Because what? Because a unicorn is just one step too effeminate for jd yes but in his mind a horse with a sword on his head fine fine no there's nothing wrong with there's nothing wrong with somehow gluing or or or fusing a sword to a horse's head. That's way more masculine than a unicorn. Yeah.

So JD's embarrassed to admit that he loves unicorns and has drawn one on his hopes and dreams journal. And the first time I laughed a lot, but I started watching this episode and I'm like, and I'm like, okay, meh, meh, meh. And then all of a sudden, I say to Cox, guess what I found on the internet? And he says, a set of adult male shoulders. And then I go, totally earnestly, they had to trim them to get me out of that well.

Did you have to rewind it? Yeah. Did you rewind it? That is far and away the funniest sentence in the episode. And it's totally, it's totally,

I don't know. It's totally, I don't know, man. I don't know. Sweets for my sweets had me laugh out loud. Yeah, that kind of funny. That had me laugh out loud.

That had me laugh so hard. I don't want to do, what do you mean just do the pose? And then Matt Perry does some crazy ass pose. I know. Sweets for the sweet. Sweets for the sweet. That was funny. So the theme of this episode is that the ladies are using their feminine flirtation powers

to manipulate people in the hospital. Yes. Carla pushes her boobs together and gets cake. Gets cake. And Jordan manipulates somebody in the beginning to the the security guard to park her car right and then the joke is that elliot doesn't like the ethics of it and also is horrible at it right and um but when she gets but when she finally does do it she becomes addicted addicted to the power, her newfound power.

But they go to help her, and in the end, the janitor does it. The janitor saves her. But also, this is the first time- Yeah, because he wants to marry her. Yeah. We really get a sense that the janitor's in love with Elliot and wants to marry her. Well, she uses the power on him, though. She gives him the wink and the tongue lick.

Right. Does she give him a wink and a tongue lick, or she just- Yes! Oh, okay. She gives him the wink and the tongue lick. Right. Does she give him a wink and a tongue lick, or she just kicks him? Oh, okay. She gives him a wink and has her tongue out. Now, he runs out of there real quick. Her Jedi powers, to keep your analogy going, are so fucking potent that the dude drops the carpet he's mopping. By the way, mopping the carpet.

Mopping the carpet, yes. And goes out in his van with the doors flapping open. I can only assume that happened by mistake and they kept it because it's funny. Because he drives off in his shitty van and the doors fly open. Right. The only way it would have been better is if boxes flew out in the back. Right. Or Randall.

Or Randall goes for a ride. Marty. But anyway, dude, I was sleeping. Whatever. So then he goes and buys a ring. And comes back and he gets on one knee and she walks right by him. Walks right by him. And he yells at the ring, I told you to sparkle. Well, it was $12.

What do you expect? That's all he had, right? Well, the guy was like, the jeweler was like, this is so expensive, whatever, this price, $10,000. He's like, I have $12. The janitor has no money, but he probably would have money if he didn't spend it on things like building a squirrel army and knife wrenches. Right.

Well, I imagine. The prince of fix is back. Yeah, right. Something must be coming up soon. Something must be coming up soon. Something must be coming up soon. Your religiosity disappeared for a few seasons, but now it's back. There must be a story coming soon. Oh, really?

You think they're laying the seeds for you needing to be religious? Maybe it's related to your diabetes. Maybe. We'll see. I don't know, but you literally say to the crucifix, you pull it out and you go, please get her. You're saying to Jesus to get Carla or something. Isn't that like blasphemy right there? Like, wouldn't that, like, and this is the end.

That's how Jonah Hill got possessed by the devil. What? What do you mean? Spoilers. Jonah Hill gets possessed by an evil demon. I don't think you have to do spoiler alert for a movie that's that old. Anyway, do you guys remember this? He goes,

please kill Jay. I don't know this movie. You've never seen this at the end? Oh, Rihanna punches the shit out of What's-His-Face and it's amazing. Yes. I mostly lived for that moment. It'd be a good movie for your first date with with the person you're gonna get in this live show you should start thinking of

things that you can do in during your zoom oh my god okay connect four you can play connect four you would two sets you need. No, she would just say, Fuquan, where would you like the red chip to go? Red chip, Fuquan. Pay attention. Red chip, Fuquan. Pretty sneaky, Fuquan. I will absolutely take suggestions for what to do on a date over a video call because. Well, it's only I think we're going to take the pressure off by by saying it's just a 15 minute

palette letter to see if there's any connection okay and everyone's going to want to know the follow-up i want to know if they want to go on a second date yeah okay oh you know and then we'll have the person on um even if the date went poorly we'll have them yeah we'll have them on to analyze what happened no i do not that's the dating game don't we're doing a dating game guys if it goes well we'll see we're doing a version of the dating game but if it goes bad it's so okay you're right though you're right your life is not up yes for now we dissed everwood in this show and i I got to say, I don't like ever dissing. What was Everwood? Everwood was a WB show.

And I believe it was- Classic. And I believe it was created by Greg Berlani, if I'm not mistaken, who gave me my big break in the film The Broken Hearts Club. So when you did that in this, didn't you say? I mean, when you saw- Now, I got to be honest. I don't like jokes that just diss other people's shit for no reason. Right.

I don't like that either anymore. And I, and you know, we did it back in the day because we didn't know better. But I, I, I always put some bad taste in my mouth. Like why? And it's a common thing now. Like people are always digging at other shows and other actors and other people. And I just, I would never do that now. And I don't like it now.

I've never seen an episode of Everwood. I imagine it was a hot CW show at the time. And we were trying to be like snarky. It was amazing. It was about his father, son, and there was a train station and medical drama. Oh man. Am I right? It was Greg Berlini, the creator. All right. So then I remember Greg got mad, not real mad, but like, oh, we'll get them back. And I don't know if it was Everwood or one of his other shows. They did some Scrubs or Zach Braff diss. I don't remember.

See, that's what I see, man. It's like a rap battle. That's fine. Not a rap battle. What do you call them? I'm all right with that. It's like a diss track. I'm all right with that. You got Heather a diss track. I'm all right with that.

You got hazard. That's all right. I don't want to be part of a diss track situation. Sure you do. As long as there are rules and it's not taken out of context, I think it's always good publicity to mention another show or another show mention you. It feels cheap to me, to be honest.

I think if there's an understanding, I think it's all right. Like, I think if there was a conversation between Bill and Greg, like nowadays, if you were to do that, I would hope that that's how it would go down. And it wouldn't just be, you know, it just sounds weird to have the showrunner of moms going at it with the showrunner of freaking, you know, the flash that just, you know, beef like that shouldn't happen. I don't know. I'm all I'm not saying anything major other than I don't like humor. That's like making fun of other people's creations anymore.

I think it's too hard to make shit. And it's just me. You better never, ever make fun of me for loving star Wars. You better never be like snore bore. Just wait till I get this pad going. Wait till Daniel gives my, my pad CPR. There's going to be so, so many snores.

Um, I should take a break. Yes. All right. We'll be right back after this break. Bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine. Hosted by me, Danielle Robay.

know it! Yeah, hell yeah. I know Joelle I know you did come on now oh she know it all dressed in black with silver buttons all down her back she asks her mother for 15 cents to see the elephant elephant elephant

yeah yeah yeah he jumps so high I'm teaching my daughter that shit I'm teaching my daughter that she loves it I bet your daughter would be so'm teaching my daughter that she loves it oh i bet i bet your daughter would be so good at this clapping that one's that one's a hard one because then it does all of this and well actually she probably could do that she's a way better dancer than i am by really already oh dude she's look she does i'm so excited for you i'm so excited for you guys because i just i can't imagine how fun it is when your kid gets to be

around her age and some sort of talent starts emerging whether it be athletic or dance or the arts or whatever it must be so thrilling to be like oh my god look she's definitely got some musical something going on with her uh i don't know if it's good yet you know it still has to be nurtured it's still you know of course but i have a feeling you guys are going to nurture it because it's exciting she needs yeah she needs to go to the fame school dance on a cab and have debbie allen yell at her well i'm trying i would love to put her in the debbie allen school the debbie allen school's out here man she has a dance school out here oh i was making a fame joke but yes good no debbie allen has a great school out here. Oh, I was making a fame joke, but yes, good to hear No, Debbie Allen has a great school out here.

She puts on the hot chocolate nutcracker and all that. Oh my gosh, she has a wonderful school. Oh, why don't we send her there? Because it's kind of far from where we are and that's a trek.

Like everything that we got going on right here is within, you know, five minutes away. What about one of these schools? I know Debbie Allen's more highfalutin, high art than what I'm about to say.

But, you know, you see these schools on Instagram where the kids are doing hip hop dance and like the cameras moving in and out and they're doing like choreography. And you're like, holy shit, those kids can dance. What about like one of those? I think you got to be a little bit older to go to those. No, I'm sure they have them for all ages. They don't. I don't see. Don't make me Google.

Don't make me Google. Get your Google on, man. I think it's more than a Google I do believe Casey did call And ask like you know Is there an age limit And I believe at the time And she might be over it now

While she's under it We should ask Amanda Because Amanda Klutz is dialed in with dancers And stuff maybe she knows Alright is the caller here Bring theed in with dancers and stuff. Maybe she knows. That's what's up. All right. Is the caller here? Bring the caller in, guys.

We're excited. Bring it in. They had a Jack Sherry. Give it up for Jack Sherry. Who's at the Cheers Bar. Jack Sherry. Jack Sherry, your background is the Cheers Bar. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. Oh, my God.

It's Jack. And they're always glad you came. Jack Cherry, you want to go where you can see. People are all the same. You want to go where everybody knows your name. I get Oprah voice and Cheers theme song. Now, for the listeners who can't see Jack Cherry, his head is right over Norm's chair.

His background is the Cheers bar, and his head is right where Norm used to sit. Yeah, no, so fun story for that. Me and my friends, we work in animation. What type of animation do you work in uh 2d i work at bento box a studio that does oh dope yeah you're you're in california no i'm at the atlanta studio but right now i'm in delaware so it's all over the place wait what do they do what does bento box do the main thing they do is uh bob's burgers but that's all la we

handle a lot of different stuff like the shows I've worked on were like Hoops, which was a very short-lived project over on Netflix. But yeah, no, so we work a lot of long nights. And one of the things we started doing like a year and a half ago was the lights would go down outside of the studio. The AC would kick off and we would just throw on two episodes of Cheers

and we would just end our day watching Cheers. It was great. It's been a while. So we've since blown through Cheers. We've blown through Frasier. We have not watched this show because half of the people listen to this podcast and they don't want to get ahead of where you guys are.

Oh, that's cool. I love hearing, Jack, I love hearing when people are actually choosing to listen as we go. Again, we have no idea, a way of determining that. Although that could be a poll question, Joelle, on the live show, just to take a sampling of, we should start assembling questions we want to ask people because I know that'll just be a sampling of people and maybe a skewed sample because there are people that are particularly interested in being a part of the show. But anyway, we could ask because I'm always curious if people are doing it like they're doing it as we're going. I really like that you guys at your job stick together kind of and watch television together.

That's really – it's cute it is cute it's like it's that's a tight-knit group you guys probably do great animation together too you know what i mean like you know that that's that's a great way to keep the morale up especially during these times good bonding when i was a kid um in my room i had a little portable tv that was the black and white screen about that big i don't know if you remember these kind they were like i don't know i'm holding up my hands maybe it was four five inches by five inches square did it have like the radio dial on it yes and then it had a long back to it and it was like you know it was like the size of a vcr almost

but but but the screen was tiny the screen was like five inches by five inches. And, um, that's all I was allowed to have in my bedroom at this age. And I, and I would go to WPX in on the East coast, Donald knows it. And they had cheers on every night. And when I was falling asleep, I would watch cheers on my tiny little screen. So that, that show has a, a very special, special place in my heart because it was, it was the show that I could get. I mean, first of all, it's a great classic, but it was the show I could get at like 11 on WPAX. When you stayed up late, when you stayed up till midnight, what came on though? Do you remember? On WPAX?

I don't know. I think I was a good kid and didn't stay up past midnight. The Honeymooners. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't think I ever made it to the Honeymooners. That's when you knew. Starring Ralph Cramden, The Honeymooners. You're right.

You're right. I probably did occasionally watch The Honeymooners. All right, sir. Welcome to the program. Jack, do you have a question for us? I do have a question. And I apologize if I get a little rambly. My stories tend to go all over the place. Look who you're talking to.

I know. I'm a fan of it. I don't mind it. I hope everybody's okay with it. But, um, yeah, so, as an animator, as someone who makes art, I often look back

at the stuff I made years ago, and I will, for example, there was, in high school, I made this sequential, like, a comic book, essentially, a graphic novel, and there's this one panel where every time I look at it, there's, like a comic book, essentially a graphic novel. And there's this one panel where every time I look at it, there's like a pan, like a cooking pan in the shot. And every time I look at it, I'll be taken back to sitting on my basement floor, drawing it, watching some,

some movie on Comedy Central, like way too late at night, just drawing. And I'm transported to that moment. And I'm curious if you guys, since you're watching all this footage that's decades old, or like, yeah, decades old at this point, if you see something and you just are snapped right back to like where you were in your life while filming that. I know you guys, and I wrote this in my email, but you briefly talked about this with Johnny C in one of the early episodes about filming right after 9-11. And it was, it was interesting to hear. So I was curious if anything like that has come up again, where it just really, really brought you back to some moment in your life. Yeah. I mean, for me, yeah. I think, you know, it was nine years. And over the course of a decade, we all have highs and lows.

You know, you fall into relationships, you fall out of relationships, you dial and went through a divorce. You, you know, people in your life get sick, some get better, some die. I mean, so much happens over the course of this time. And I definitely think there are episodes we see that I remember, oh, I can even see in my face, like, oh, I was in a good place then. Or oof, I look puffy. It looks like I was drinking too much.

Or I was depressed. Or, oh, I remember that episode. I was going through a breakup. And so, yeah, at certain times they trigger memories for me. How about you, Donald? Definitely. It's all kind of blurry, though. I'm not transported back to that moment ever.

I'm always questioning, what was I doing at that time? What was going on at that time? Because I do, like you said, Zach, I feel like I look a little chubby here or I look a little, what was I doing? What was going on? And then, you know, sometimes I look at the date and then I have to, you know, go through the mental Rolodex. What was I doing that year? What was I doing? Oh, that was the year I was getting divorced.

You know, that was the year I had that breakup or, you know, this was the year I met Casey. this was the year I met Casey I'm really I'm actually really excited to get to that moment in time where I meet Casey and how I am and how I felt at that moment I'm really excited for that

you know I simp so much on this damn show dude I simp so much I don't even know what simp means it's been around forever but I do it so much it don't even know what simp means It's been around forever But I do it so much It's pretty much like I freaking Worship my wife Is that what it means? I worship my wife

Or I worship the woman in my life It's like standing for women Yeah Isn't that the ideal situation? That you simp for your wife? The idea is that there's a bit of an obsessive quality to it Like the Marshall Mathers thing He does that that you simp for your wife? Yes. The idea is that there's a bit of an obsessive quality to it. Oh, yeah. Like the Marshall Mathers thing.

He does that. Standing for women. Yeah. You stand for your wife. Yeah. I totally, so much. Do you think that she's ever freaked out by how much you're obsessed with her?

No, she's like, I got that motherfucking good. She does, right? She knows she's got you good. Yeah. She knows what's got you good yeah she's got she knows what's up she knows what's up that's so great though i i'm happy that you simp her yeah so well is that how you say it yeah you said it right for her simp simp Synth. C-S-I-M-P. S-I-M-P. No H.

Just S-I-M-P. Synth. Synth. Oh, Synth, Donald. There's no P-H. But there is when you say I Synth. No S. Isn't it?

In the far side, I Synth. Damn, I wish I wasn't. I Synth, I guess he says. He says, damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp. Because then I would let you know that I love you so. And if I was your man, then I would be true. The only lying I would let you know that I love you so And if I was your man then I would be true The only lying I would do was in the bed with you Hell yes

She keeps on passing me by That was my jam She keeps on passing me by Passing me by You know nothing of this, do you, Zach? No, I don't You don't know Passing passing me by that's a classic it's far side okay so there was this rap group called far side from the west coast california i can't believe i gotta educate you on this and they had this amazing song probably one of the biggest songs of the year uh the album was them on a roller coaster coming out of a vagina, dude.

The shit was freaking flavor, dude. It's called Far Side? That's the name of the group, the Far Side. P-H-A-R-C-Y-D-E. And their biggest hit was the song Passing Me By, right? And the hook was, she keeps on passing me by, right? I'm confident you've heard it each each one of them kind of sing during their rap verse and one of the verses is like my dear my dear my dear you do not know me but i know you very well and let me tell you about this feelings i have for you and i try

to make some sort of attempt i simp damn i wish i wasn't such a wimp. And then it goes into that. But anyway, it was one of the dopest records ever in the history of hip-hop. Period, man. We could go on and on. But we won't. Let's get back to Jack. By the way, I gotta tell you something embarrassing that happened.

So you know how I'm obsessed with the song I told you, The Bad Bunny, with Rosalia's song, La Noche de Anoche? I love the song, I got to tell you something embarrassing that happened. So you know how I'm obsessed with this song? I told you the Bad Bunny with Rosalia song, La Noche de la Noche. Love the song, right? So good. Well, my housekeeper was over and the song's in Spanish. And I wanted to sort of show off for Rosa that I liked a Spanish song. She did not like the song. Donald's doing her voice because Rosa, she's my housekeeper.

She comes over once a week, and she's been with me for 20 years, and she's awesome, and Donald knows her, and she's a character. She has a very high voice. But I was like, I'm so into a Spanish song that I don't know what the lyrics are, but I want to crank it for Rosa so she thinks I'm cool because I like a Spanish song, right? So I'm cranking it in the kitchen. I'm kind of dancing around, dancing with the dog,

and Rosa's kind of looking over at me, and I'm like, whatever. And then I get around to Googling the lyrics, you guys. What are they talking about? The lyrics are crazy. What are they saying? It gets dirty. Just wait. I don't know.

I think he's coming after me. Wait. It's about fucking, obviously. But there's one part. I was just so embarrassed. I just thought it was a love song. Because she thinks you want that now. She's like, I'm sure of it.

This is the lyric. You got so wet that I got baptized yeah yeah yeah he got baptized by her vagina juice oh my god oh no dude i was already there you didn't have to take me you didn't have to take me further hey bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine, hosted by me, Danielle Robay.

Jack, Jack, Jack you remember when Zach talked when you were asking the question about moments that take you to those

Zach just took me to a moment that didn't never existed but Bad Bunny and Zach described it so well that I was able to get there he got baptized I think But Bad Bunny and Zach described it so well that I was able to get there. He got baptized. I think Joelle was there, too.

Joelle was like, Joelle felt the. I don't want to go there. I don't want to. Begging you to steer this ship. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. The point is, I got to come clean to Rosa and say, I'm sorry.

I didn't know that these lyrics were about being baptized. No, no, no, no. No, Zach. Really? I shouldn't bring it up? Maybe she didn't hear that lyric. I don't know. I just felt like I was embarrassed. I would say, listen, if that song offended you in any way, I apologize.

I didn't know what the lyrics were. But let me tell you another funny Rosa story that maybe means she wasn't offended. You'll love this, Joelle. Listen. Okay. All right. I'm listening. Every year, Rosa gives me – we exchange gifts.

Dalton, you know this story. Yes, I do. And I give her something, and she gives me something just like everybody exchanges gifts, whatever. And sometimes she gives me something that I don't necessarily love, but I always display it because she's going to be there once a week and I don't want to hurt her feelings. So if it's a candle, if it's a vase, it might not be what I would have chosen for the center of the table, but I love her and I don't want to hurt her feelings. So I make sure that the item is displayed. So cut to one- You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I love her. So cut to one year. I a good man, Charlie Brown. You're a good man, Charlie Brown. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I love her. So cut to one year. I'm unwrapping my present. Have you ever seen these things they sell like on the Tijuana border or like on eBay? And it's signs that are made of old license plates letters? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Okay. So Rosa has bought me one of those and it's giant. And the message is good weed, bad bitches. Yes. What? Yes. A motto for life.

Wow. Anyway, so above my sink, a kitchen sink, is a giant sign made of license plates that says, bad bitches, good weed. Because I don't want to hurt Rosa's feelings. That is amazing. Hell yeah. What did you do? that says, bad bitch is good weed because I don't want to hurt Rose's feelings. That is amazing. Hell yeah. What did you do? What did you get her?

You know, I usually get her a little something, something, and then some money. It's like a bonus, like, you know, like you do. You get her a nice gift, though. I get her a little nice gesture and then cash because everybody wants cash, right right all right sorry jack we totally forgot about you're sitting in the cheers bar listening all right yeah exactly enough about enough about um jack don't play that song for any senior uh i do have a similar story i was in a frame shop where i was the only person and i would i would get maybe like two people on a good day and so i was in the back i was just blasting music and i think the song that

came on was my neck my back and i heard the door like open up and i ran to the front and there was just this old woman standing there horrified i don't even have like the benefit of it being in a different language. That was just me. Well, did she, did she, did she buy a frame? She did. She was very polite. Nice. Did not scare her away. All right, Jack, time for your next question. Go.

Sure. This is not directly Scrubs related, but I when I went back to school for animation, I think that's when I found out, Donald, that you also did animation. Yeah, I I honestly like you. You've mentioned it here and there on the podcast. I would just like to listen to you geek out about it because watching the stuff you post is so nice and I love it and i i'm curious how you got into it because you are a successful man and stop motion is not your main career in any way so i'm curious how you have the energy or time to even do something like stop motion it's so so meticulous i'm so happy you asked me this question i am too because it's something a lot of people don't know about you not gonna lie to you

i do stop motion now uh because i love it obviously and it's an art form and it's a way for me to express things that i want to do things that i you know uh how I feel you know if you look at it there's always some type of meaning to the stuff I do even if it looks like it's just somebody walking across screen screen right that's what that's what animation is it's it's you expressing yourself through your movement through uh movement in some way, right? When I was a kid, there were a bunch of after-school programs at this private school that my mom put me in, and she couldn't afford it. But one of the after-school programs was this class with Super 8 cameras, right? And when I got there, this woman would try to teach all of these little kids who were really young how to do stop motion.

And she was having a hard time. So she brought this kid in who was maybe like 14 and he did it and he did it with Star Wars action figures. And I was like, and so we'd have to wait till the next week. And so we were all goofing around and everything. wait till the next week and so we were all goofing around and everything and she played what he did on a screen and he made the star wars action figures move around and i was like oh shit that's how they did it that's how they did it in the empire strikes back that's how they and i had taken like i had already been there for five weeks you know it was once every once every week i'd already been there for five weeks and i had wasted all was once every week. I'd already been there for five weeks, and I had wasted all of this time. And so now I was like, I got to catch up.

And so when I started acting and making money, I would buy things like Super 8 cameras to try and practice animation in my apartment growing up. in my apartment growing up and uh i you know without without without books and without lessons it's really hard to understand the formula it's like you know and then once you do understand the formula it's hard to put it into motion you know uh well and also to graduate to the level where you have because i've you know as your friend i've watched his skills go from you know simple lego stuff to the stuff you're posting now on instagram is really i mean it looks professional i still i well i still i still have a long way to go there but dude you got you i mean you can't see it because you're because you've been living it but you've definitely gotten really much better at it right anyway so i'm i leave the school i'm no longer there we i'm practicing at home i'm grow up a little bit more and animation is stop motion animation is way too much time but i'm

still a collector right so i'm collecting all of these things in my mind saying one day i'm going to animate all of these toys i meet meet Seth Green while doing Clueless. Breckenmeyer introduces me to Seth Green. And the three of us became really good friends. And throughout time, Seth created this thing called Sweet J, which didn't turn into Robot Chicken. But I did some of the voices on the original series for Sony. It was like a digital series for Sony. And I said to him one day, I used to do this as a kid.

I've always wanted to do this, pretty much saying, how do I get into it? And he was like, well, I'll bring you by the studio and you can meet some people. So I went by the studio and he introduced me to some people. And I was like, well, I'd really like to hang out here a bit. He's like, why don't you intern? I was like, I can do that? He was like, yeah, why don't you intern? I was like, all right, bet. He was like, I'll pick a department for you to go into and they'll let you work there.

And I was like, all right. And he picked puppets. And it was like, you know, how to build stop motion animation animation puppets which was great for an animator because now you're learning the bones of the thing and then he was like you know go meet some of the animators and i was like all right fine and i convinced some of these guys to come back to my house i had just broken up with a girl so i didn't need to impress anybody with how my house looked i put a freaking big table in my living room uh and he like his for there were times dude where like donald's whole dining room would be one set his whole living room would be a different set and they were like epic sets right donald i would do

yeah i was good i would i got crazy with it at point. And then I met my wife and my wife was like, yeah, this is cool. And then we had kids and then she was like, this shit got to go. Donald had the ultimate bachelor pad. There were like arcade games, there were poker tables, there was like a movie theater. It was like the dream bachelor house. And then Casey moved in and she's like, all right, did the movers pull away? All right, get this shit out of here. Out of here.

Now. Yeah. Now. But recently, so what's happened recently is my son has gone away to college to do art. He's heavily into it. I like to think some of the stuff that I did when he was younger influenced him, but he's always had a thing for drawing and now he's away at school and his room is empty. So my wife was like, if you want to, you can set up an animation room. And she let me do that. And so that's inspired me to get in there. I'm not going to waste the

time now because it could be something else. I got to put something up or she's going to be like, you know, what are you, what is this even for so i might as well you know it's great and i the patience you take with it man i i can't imagine how meticulous and slow you have to do to move everything and keep track of it all and then you've started incorporating camera moves which it's just next level shit everybody's always like you should do a tutorial and it's like i don't want to freaking yeah you should do a tutorial people would love that think about like if you were able to like do a simple thing that someone could do with their kid you know or you know if you if you were to do such a simple it's hard to do it with kids it's really hard kids have to show all right

well then forget they have to show you could so you could teach someone who's an aspiring i'm sure there's plenty of people listening going oh oh, that would be a cool hobby. How the hell do I begin? You could probably watch some videos on YouTube, right? There's a bunch of them. That's how I did it. Yeah, there you go. YouTube.

But now I've sought out people. So there's a bunch of people out there that I've made friends with. you know, made friends with like this one guy, Moussey, uh, Booker. He's, uh, Moussey Booker. He's, um, an animator. He's an African-American animator also. And he's the guy that taught me most of the stuff I know, which is really cool. There's a couple of people at that have helped me out. This, this dude, Brad shift, you know, like there's a bunch of people that have seen my stuff and have just given me a little bit of tips, a few tips here and a few tips there, you know, and, and I'm very grateful for it because this is, it's not just a hobby. It's a passion of mine. I do one day hope to turn this into, uh, you know, I feel like I have a lot to say in this world.

And this is a great way for me to say some of the things I want to say through stop motion animation. And maybe the Lucas company can steal more of your ideas like black storm trooper. I didn't say it. You do. You don't have to comment. You don't have to comment.

You just, you just lean back in your chair and look at those sundresses. They are lovely. Aren't they? All right, Jack, it's time for delaware's favorite segment it's time to fix your life it kind of goes hand in hand with what we've been talking about i as an animator i

am at this desk for 10 hours a day forever and i'm i'm uh I'm curious like I also want to do stuff for my own like I'm working on other people's shows obviously but I have hopes of running my own shows or or even making shorts or any sort of creative project and I'm curious especially now when when there's no real separation of work and home, at least for the people working from home currently, like how, how do you find energy to just be like, well, I just did this for 10 hours. I'm going to exist in this same space and keep doing it. But for me and you all like, uh, Daniel and Joelle joelle both included you all have a lot of creative endeavors and i'm curious what advice you have for just how do you how do you keep going and doing more

stuff for yourself when it's just more of the same actual work that you're doing if that makes sense do you have kids i do not have kids are you married i'm just me donald saliv a lot of a lot of my hustle yeah showed up i like i was doing it for fun before i got married and had kids and when i got married and had kids i wanted my kids to have fun also and it couldn't just be about me anymore and so i had to start figuring out new things um and it took a really long time for me to figure out how to put the time you know you know zach one of zach's greatest examples to me of how to make a movie was it's like a puzzle. He said to me, it's like a puzzle, Donald, and you got to put the pieces of the puzzle together. And when you figure out the puzzle, you've made a, you know, you've made your movie

and that's what it's like now in life. It's like a, you got to figure it out. It's a puzzle that, you know, I get it. You're in that same space, but if you really want to create your own things, the sacrifices have to happen and you have to figure out a way to, to, you know, even if it's taking a break for a little bit from it all and then charging up, you have to figure out a way to motivate yourself. Like I aspire to be a better version of myself because I know everybody else is out there doing it and they're not going to do it for me. Nobody's going to call me up and be like, Donald, this is your dreams are right here. I'm going to hand them to you. I have to go out and get it. And so, yeah, you have to sacrifice.

Yeah, I know you're saying you you hate being in that space for so long. Well, my advice is that's something you can, first of all, Donald's right. You don't have kids. You don't have a wife, which gives you the ability to spend more time on your pursuits and what you want to do. And by the way, you can change. My first thought while Donald was answering, I was thinking you can change up the variables. So even if you have to go to a friend's house, even if you have to go to, you know, obviously when the world opens back up, a coffee shop, whatever, so that you change up your venue.

So you're not turning into like Nicholson and the Shining and just feeling stir crazy. And then also make sure the art that you're animating is quite different. So from whatever you're doing at your job, it feels new. It feels like if I go work on someone else's project as an actor, yeah, I would feel really bored going and then doing that same thing

as a similar thing in my project. So I go write something that's totally different. You know, I'll write something that's in a totally different genre, totally different spirit. Sometimes when I'm writing, I write at this desk I'm at right now, but sometimes I go, oh my God, I got cabin fever and I'll just take my laptop and go write somewhere else. Try to find ways to, to shake up what you're doing. So it feels different. But you know, last thing I just want to say is like, it's now, now or never because you will probably get married and have kids and and then become way busier now is the time for you to be like going making making

sure you're going for your dreams not just being um someone who's executing someone else's dreams wait joelle did you want to say something um i can i can do it in two seconds the tony morrison method tony morrison was raising children as a single mother while also editing some of the greatest books of the 20th century and then wound up writing better books. It's crazy. She would wake up at four in the morning, work for two hours, then get her kids ready for school, then go do her job, then come home, then feed her kids and put them to bed and then do two more hours of work, which is exhausting. But it's just essentially what these guys are saying which is just small chunks of time like you just find you have to find pockets of time for yourself to make your projects or nothing i work 60 hours a week producing other shows and then i have to come in and do my own stuff daniel similarly does 60 hours of his work for iheart but then is also like doing his like

live streaming and stuff so it's just about carving out time and then making sure like, Nope, that's my dedicated time. If I want this to eventually be done, I have to stick to that like very intense, dedicated time. Right. I mean,

all your job comes first because that's, what's going to feed you. And it's going to put all, you know, you know, but you have to put forth the effort, even if you don't, we talk about the whiteboard,

put it up on a whiteboard so it reminds you shit i got two more i gotta do two more hours of this because at the end of the day it was just a little bit of time and you got it done and you're all of a sudden all of a sudden you're not on you're not plotting you know 10 years later like i wish i would have i had it you know i had all of this i could have done it when i was younger and now i got you know, 10 years later, like, I wish I would have, I had it, you know, I had all of this. I could have done it when I was younger. And now I got, you know, it's just, it's what it is, man. It's this, this is, I, you probably know this already. It's just, you got to get out and do it. You just, it's, it's what it is.

All right, Jack, we got to go, but it's been very nice meeting you. And, and Joel, do we have any kombucha to give the man? You want to give Jack some kombucha? Yeah, I like Jack. Give Jack some kombucha. I think we send Jack a pallet of GT's kombucha. Thank you, GT's. We'd love it.

And you can share it with your coworkers while you're watching famous sitcoms after work. Out there in Georgia, but in spirit. Well, you'll share it with uh whoever you're in delaware thank you jack all right bye we'll get you some cheese kabocha all right thank you see you all of you guys it's great great hanging out thank you for the pep talk good luck jack all right see you thank you let's take a break we'll be right back after these fine words bring a little optimism into your life with The Bright Side, a new kind of daily podcast from Hello Sunshine.

Truck stop brothels run by a web of ex-cons. A Commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power. Protection exchanged for cash and flesh. This is Hooker Game, criminals and libertines in the South. And I am your host, Dr. Lindsay Byron.

Three years ago, I came across a goldmine of news clippings detailing a scandal that rocked my small southern hometown. As I flipped through each page, this forgotten story came back to life. I was told that it was just supposed to be a massage parlor. The big shot in Dan was Barker. He beats me continuously. If you print anything that you hear in the grand jury, you will be put in jail. I never gave any massages.

Listen to Hooker Gay, Criminals and Libertines in the South on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You were wrong. I found his son. I found his son. I found his son. That's me. Yeah, the song we wrote together that we wrote on the back of the scooter. Yes.

And you rehearsed it a few times, too. Yeah. And then when Mr. Perry falls, he does the JD fall noise. Did you see the pratfall I had in this where I tripped? Yes. That was nice. Matthew Perry gave me that pratfall to do. He taught me it and was like, now run with it, my son.

Really? Yes. Why did Matthew Perry need to teach you how to do a pratfall? You know how to do a pratfall. Not like that. That was very involved. Well, you did a great job. It was funny.

How about when Sarah, sorry, how about when Elliot says to Franklin, if you analyze this urine sample, then maybe I'll have sex with you, but probably not. Doesn't work on Franklin. He doesn't give a fuck. Now, until Elliot rubs her nipples. Yeah. Okay. Now, Elliot.'t give a fuck. Now, until Elliot rubs her nipples. Yeah. Okay.

Now, Elliot. Oh, my God. That was quite sexual for network TV. That was very sexual. I was thinking, I was like, Sarah was game for a lot of freaking things. Sarah was game to be naughty, and she really, really gave her nipple quite a rub. And that worked. It worked. Not only did it work for Matthew Perry, but I think it worked for a lot of people watching at the time.

And it kind of worked for me just now. When I was watching it, too, I was like, wow, Sarah, go on with your sexy self. Yeah. And then I'm in the cafeteria and I rub my nipple to get another piece of cake. There's a lot of nipple rubbing going on in this episode. One for the road. And then he drops off the cake after I rub my nipple and I go, have a good weekend. What was his name?

Gerald or something? Yeah. Something like that. Glenn. One for the road, Glenn. Yeah, rubbing your nipple in this hospital is magical. It makes shit happen. This was a really good one.

I really liked, I love this moment so much, I want to have sex with it. Yeah. And then the callback. I love this moment so much that I'd cheat on that other moment with this one, get married to it, and raise tiny little moments. Yeah. That was a good one. That was good, dude. Yeah.

That was a good one, dude. That's funny. And then JD goes to seek out Murray at the airfield, and there's like a North by Northwest homage with the model airplane. And I remember this really being a pain in the ass to shoot because we were so psyched. The whole crew, everyone was excited because we were going to have a real model airplane. This is long before drones, obviously.

So seeing a model airplane flying was not something any of us saw regularly. And these guys came out and we were so stoked. And like, take one, they flew it right into a tree. And so the fact that this sequence looks so good, a lot of it was just stitched together. I remember eventually the grips rigged the plane so it was on like a zip line kind of thing. So it could fly accurately. Because the guys were not accurate with flying this thing, even when they got it out of the tree. And so the grips came up with all interesting ways to make it look real.

And it looks pretty decent for what it is. But then it's funny when it crashes and explodes. I go, what an odd sized explosion. Because it was like, I think it's meant to be, you know, this giant, it's this tiny plane, but there's this huge explosion. No, those planes are huge, dude. Those planes are huge in real life, man. Well, this one was probably, like, the wingspan was probably, like, four feet. Really?

There's a spot around where I play golf, and there's a spot across the street where, like, the 13th hole is. And you can literally see the model planes and sometimes they have jets yeah sometimes they have red baron like the red baron like you were fighting and stuff and these things are huge like when they put them in their trunk they gotta fold it like in the big trucks too man those things are the wingspans are it's amazing like you'd think a jet a model airplane jet would could kill somebody. I would think it could. I believe it could.

What about when you're covered in bees? What was that? I remember that day because the stuntman got stung. Well, of course, I would imagine. So what, they just digitally put your face on the stuntman? Yes, they did. It looked pretty bad. Well, hey, man, come on. No, I don't expect you to get real bees on you,

but it didn't look very It looked a little dated I mean Were you there? Did you watch him get the bees on him? I did, I watched the whole thing And I watched him get stung Did he have any experience with bees? No, none whatsoever

He was just a stuntman What a stuntman They were like, today's work, you'll be getting covered by bees and you have no training with this. Go. Yeah. And as a stuntman, you go, okay. This is like you said. So how are you going to hit the wall?

I'm just going to. I'm just going to hit the wall. Yeah, there's no trick to it. We're just going to put bees all over you. Right. All right. So you're covered in bees. Then there's a really weird moment when Matt Perry says some random story

about how he, now that he knows that his father's not his birth father, it wasn't weird that he was hooking up with his cousin. And I'm like, been there with my gram-gram. Which I really don't understand. I don't either. Did I have a non-biological grandmother that I accidentally hooked up with? Do you think you ad-libbed that or you think that was written in the script?

In there with my gram-gram? I don't know. Yeah. But it's bizarre. That's weird. You yell at Carlo. Is it Carlo? You go, woman, I was covered in bees!

Yeah, that's Carlo I yell at Carlo is it Carlo? you go woman I was covered in bees yeah that's Carlo I yell at it's a it has some funny moments man I know but it's not it's not the best one but

it's not the best one it's got a unicorn it's got the unicorn journal and and again and it has you know Dr. Cox

comes through at the end as always man for you. And we learned that J.D. was stuck in a well as a child, and they had to shave his shoulders smaller so that he could squeeze out of the well. That's the most important fact of J.D.'s life that we learned. And I had no idea that Murray was an old person's name. I played the character Murray in Clueless. I wish I would have known the joke. I wish I would have known the joke.

I wish I would have got the joke. Murray. Well, you wouldn't see a young Murray these days. It does feel like an old man's name. It does feel like. Yeah. If you're a Murray and you're a young Murray, where are you? Yeah.

Should we talk about the slow motion run on the outro? We can do. Go ahead. That didn't stick. What do you mean? The slow motion run didn't stick. I'm noticing that there were a lot of games that we played that didn't make it to another episode. And then there's games like Toe Finger.

Did that have more? Or Hide the Saltine? Hide the Saltine had quite a few that stuck around. All right. Well, yeah, running in slow motion a la Baywatch did not stick. Did not stick. But it's funny how they did it in real slow motion, and then when they cut back, we're yeah, running in slow motion a la Baywatch did not stick. Did not stick.

So I want to say to everybody out there, I know you have fatigue and I know that it seems like it's very safe and it probably is, but let's stick to the guidelines of your state and use better judgment out there, people, because it would suck to have another year.
