Starting point is 00:02:02 Hi, friend. How's it going? Oh, it's so good to see your face. It's so good to see you guys. Listen, okay, let's start this off right. Okay. Valerie Bertinelli is an angel. Oh, my God. Yeah, I knew that was going to happen. Tell everyone
Starting point is 00:02:18 what happened. Oh, my goodness gracious. So I didn't even have to write a letter. My agent reached out to her manager and was like, is there any way Valerie would do this for Donald? And she said yes. And she hooked it up. She hooked it up so much that when we played the message for my daughter, there was silence for a bit. And then all of a sudden my daughter started crying. No. a sudden my daughter started crying no yes she started crying and my my wife was like why are you crying she said it's just so hot in here right now that's funny she got for a clement good for valerie bertinelli i told you that would happen you just had to do it and you did it i can't believe it listen i gotta do something nice for valerie and from my and from what my daughter's told me she likes uh cats lemons and
Starting point is 00:03:12 puzzles so i gotta figure something out in that way my wife is looking at a bunch of like lemon trees right now to buy valerie i'm sure she has some already but we're trying to hook it up for you valerie i know you don't you probably don't listen to the podcast, but let me just put it out there. To all of you out there who was asking if Valerie came through, Valerie came through. Well, I just want to say, my father used to say, I have no idea. I don't know if I've told this story before, but my father used to tell this story. I have no idea if it's true or not, but it was inspirational to me. And he said, the Queen of England came to New York City to do, you know, things you do as a diplomat or whatever, a queen. And she only went to one store.
Starting point is 00:03:53 She went shopping at Bloomingdale's. And the media was going crazy. Like, how did you get the Queen of England of all places to come shopping at Bloomingdale's? Like, the best press ever. How did you guys do it? And they said, we asked her. Wow. And my father always told that story,
Starting point is 00:04:09 and it's always been an inspiration to me. And you simply did it, Donald. You asked her, and she said yes. And she is amazing for saying yes. You know, she was amazing before that, but just to do that for Wilder, they share the same birthday, but just to do that for wilder they share the same birthday but just to do that for
Starting point is 00:04:25 wilder is so special and i know wilder really really really loved it because she showed all of her friends and her her friends were like oh that's great but all the parents when they saw the video they were going crazy the parents were like oh my god you got valerie burton ellie to wish you a happy birthday? It's so sweet. It's so amazing. I love that she, like, did she fan her eyes? Did she do this thing?
Starting point is 00:04:54 She didn't do the fanning of the eyes, but she, you know, she looked at it and just, we were shocked because she didn't say anything. We were expecting, like, this scream of happiness, like this abundance of joy to just flow from her. And she was in complete shock. And then she started crying. And we were like, why are you crying? She was like, it's just so hot in here. Well, I have a present coming for her.
Starting point is 00:05:17 It's belated, but it's honest. It's all good. I figured it out. It's all good. Well, you know, I'm out of town right now. And when I get back, this show airs the day I get back. So when I get back, I am going to spoil the crap out of town right now, and when I get back, this show airs the day I get back. So when I get back, I am going to spoil the crap out of my daughter. When I was a kid, well, in my 20s, I would call it my birthday month.
Starting point is 00:05:38 She's going to have a birthday month. Even though the month is almost over, I'm going to do as much as I possibly can to make her even more happy than she was. I bet the kids are going to be so excited to see you and glad you're home. Oh, I can't wait to see those lovelies. I can't wait to see my wife, to be honest with you. I'll bet. I'll bet. Poor, poor gal. She better stretch. I'm going to be civilized and I will not pressure my wife into any type of fornication. Well, I'm sure she's probably excited for some fornication. She just probably should limber up because it's been a bit.
Starting point is 00:06:12 She might want to just do some basic Pilates. Or, you know, just do the Peloton, whatever it is that you want to do. Whatever it takes for you to get ready for this action. For relations. Well, it dovetails with this script. There's a lot of relations in this episode. What an episode. I got to tell you, I laughed my butt off.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Who directed this episode? Well, listen. Are you really asking that? Yeah, I am. It was me. I knew it. I knew it. I got to tell you something. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I don't mean to toot my own horn, you guys. I didn't know it. But get ready for a toot-toot. Because what I always do is when I'm watching an episode and I think it's well directed, I always grab this little sheet I have that Joelle made for us. And I'm like, who directed this one? It's well done.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And then I, because I didn't remember from. Yeah, I didn't remember this either, buddy. And I look down and I'm like, oh, it's me. And I'm not just saying this because I directed it. It's fucking, this is a really good episode. Bill Callahan wrote it. It's very, very, very funny. I mean,'s there's a lot it's a high joke ratio there's just joke joke joke joke joke it's really well photographed i must say and um i laughed a lot did you did you
Starting point is 00:07:17 like it i laughed a lot i knew i knew you directed it too and i and i i i was because i was out with uh my castmates before this we were having our final brunch together like our you know the final hangout before you know we all say adieu and um when i was watching the episode when it was over i was like i think zach directed that and i went to rewind it to look but it was already 501 and i was like i got to get on this call i got to get on this zoom or and but in my mind i was like zach had to have directed this this has zach's uh stamp all over it like it feels like something you would have you know this was the very different from the other one that we always joke my first one because it's it's
Starting point is 00:08:01 basically contained solely to the hospital and uh you know some there's some apartment sets and a restaurant set but it's it's very contained and i think that i was trying to to show like all right well what you know we've seen so many scrubs episodes at this point what can i do to add a bit of style to this one that's relatively contained and um i came up with some of these motifs there's this sort of window motif coming into different scenes in and out of windows and in fact the very last beat of the of the episode i closed the window yeah and um and that's that sort of hyperspeed imagination thing um i i think that was that was written but i mean how do you how do you go through like what could have
Starting point is 00:08:42 been very quickly and um i thought that was really really a cool thing to do i remember this episode because this is the episode that you that jd and kylie break up in and i remembered that there was this there's a huge argument at the end and i remember thinking wow the two characters really went in on each other at the end of this episode. And, uh, which is rare for a relationship that hasn't, that where there are no stakes involved, really like you, all you guys have done is kissed really.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And so for you to, she's, well, anyway, let's get into the show. Should we, should we count him? Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Five, six, seven, eight. About a show we made About a bunch of docs and nurses And a janitor who loved to hate I said here's the stories That we all should know So gather round to hear our
Starting point is 00:09:34 Gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald Hi Daniel, hi Joelle, how's it going? Hi buddy Hey guys, good, how are you doing? I'm well Having fun? Hi, Daniel. Hi, Joelle. How's it going? Hi, buddy. Hey, guys. Good. How are you doing? I'm well. Having fun? I am. You know, I had a streak buster today at this brunch.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I did partake in some booze. Some libations? Bloody Mary. I love it. No, I had a vodka martini. Whoa, at brunch. Ballsy. Yeah, very ballsy.
Starting point is 00:10:10 But I did, the streak is broken. I'm going to start a new streak. But I will say this. My plant-based situation is pretty cool, man. Like, I got to tell you something. Go ahead. I've never pooed so lovely in my life. Yeah, the poos get lovely.
Starting point is 00:10:28 In the words of, in the words, it felt good. Oh my God, poo feels good right now. Like really good. Like I'm so excited. I'm going to need that as a thing for the soundboard. I'm going to be honest with you. Poo feels good. It does.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It does. It's like, oh God, it feels good. Like that's how regular it is now. Whereas before without the water, you know, you're dehydrated and you're not, I'm sorry to gross everybody out. You don't have to go into details. I think my poo is good is enough for the audience. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:57 There we go. I don't need to know anything. Yeah. Anything J shaped or? What was the lyric we had to change? A coily or a letter J. A coily or a letter J. A coily or a letter J. As long as it's a deuce, yes.
Starting point is 00:11:09 We weren't allowed to say that. We were allowed to see so much stuff in Scrubbish, but we were not allowed to describe a poo as a coily or a letter J in the musical. It turned into, we'll figure out what's wrong with you as long as it's a deuce, yes. That's not as funny as a coily or a letter J.
Starting point is 00:11:29 It's so funny to know what the censors you know, we had a bestiality joke last week, but we weren't allowed to describe the coil shape of a poo. But anyway. I want to say two things. I watched this Anna Kendrick
Starting point is 00:11:44 movie on Netflix called Stowaway. It was really good. Never seen it. I recommend it. It just came out. What's it about, Zach? It is about, without spoilers, it is about three people who have been chosen to go to Mars.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Ooh. I think they're going from Mars for the first time. Colonize? Yeah, it's like, you know, it's the point in history
Starting point is 00:12:10 when the travel to Mars and back takes two years and these people are headed there for a mission and shit goes awry along the way.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I know that, I heard of this. Somebody stows away and they only have- No, don't ruin it for people. Don't ruin it for, I mean, it's called stowaway. I heard of this. Somebody stows away. No, no, don't ruin it for people. Don't ruin it. I mean, it's called Stowaway. You can imagine there's a stowaway. Yeah, but it's in the promo, though.
Starting point is 00:12:30 They only have enough food for two people. And how do they survive? Oxygen. And I tried not to spoil it for you guys, but Donald says it's in the trailer. But it's a really, really good script. And I like Anna Kendrick. I think she does a great job. Very great actress. And I don't know. It's really, really well script. And I like Anna Kendrick. I think she does a great job.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Very great actress. I don't know. It's really, really well done. So I recommend that to you. And the other thing I loved, which I've been procrastinating because the Oscars are tonight. We're recording on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And I was procrastinating watching The Father for some reason because it's the Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman film. And I thought, I think I know what that is. I'm not going to, I don't know if I'm in the mood for it.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It sounds really dour. My brother said, you got to watch it. And we have a similar taste. And I watched it and it is amazing. Have you guys seen it? No. I haven't seen any of the movies nominated this year to be honest. I highly recommend The Father.
Starting point is 00:13:19 It is, again, no spoilers. But all I can say is it's about an older man losing his memory. But the way the director and the script tell the story, you start to feel like you're losing your memory. I've never seen a film like this. It's very innovative. The storytelling is such that you can't help but start to feel the troubles of the protagonist in your own mind. I don't want to ruin anything for you. And apparently it's based on a play.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And the whole time I'm thinking, oh my God, this must have been so fascinating as a play. I think the playwright adapted his own play into a screenplay. But anyway, I don't just think it's a sad story about an old man losing his memory. It is that, but it is incredibly told and don't miss it.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Well, I got to say something really quick. Go ahead. I'm so upset at you, Zach. What did I do wrong? Because you freaking did the Morpheus to me, man.
Starting point is 00:14:23 You told me to take the red or the blue pill. And now my life is flipped upside down. Like, look, I'm not eating meat anymore. I'm not either, man. Dude, you freaking opened up the matrix to me. And now I am pissed off at you because I'm looking at- Why? You said you're feeling good and you're loving your booze. Yeah, no doubt. But listen, man, I'm looking at all my friends enjoy steak. I'm looking at all
Starting point is 00:14:51 my friends enjoy chicken. I'm looking at all my friends enjoy fish and everything like that. And all I can do is sit there and be judgmental. You guys have no idea what you're eating. Well, you don't want to be judgmental because- I'm trying my hardest not to. I can't help it, man. Eating. Well, you don't want to be judgmental because – I'm trying my hardest not to. I can't help it, man. Listen, I can only tell you that I feel great.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And, of course, I just don't – maybe we're different. You might – I'm not really craving it. No, I will say this. And I'm not saying – and I don't want – last thing I want to do is prostatize. And I'm not saying that I'm going to be able to do it forever. I am two months into it, no alcohol, no animal products. And I have to tell you that I feel better than I ever have. That's great.
Starting point is 00:15:32 And I understand because, you know, when I was sipping my vodka martini today, I was like, damn, there goes that streak. There goes that streak. streak there goes the streak but that doesn't mean you know you know another thing my my uh therapist has said with related to the streak was don't okay so you so you fell off the wagon or you you broke your streak that's that's just step one step two three four where you fuck up is then go ah fuck it i fell out of the streak fuck it let's just have fuck let's just do everything like no and get right back on the horse i mean that's that's the key don't don't go you know people that say oh i'm i'm not gonna i'm gonna go to the gym three times a week and they go they skip one then they skip two and then they go ah fuck it i fell off the wagon fuck the gym no that's where people really fall off it's like no no okay
Starting point is 00:16:19 that happens shit happens get back on the horse you know? Yeah, you know, that is the trick. And, you know, it's very interesting because this show's coming to an end and we're saying goodbye to each other and everything like that. I find that it's harder to drink water now because, you know, now I'm not buying water every day because I'm leaving in a couple of days. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:16:46 So it's like the water that I have now, I'm going to try and sustain until I bounce. Cause I don't want to continue to, I don't want to overbuy. Like I have stuff in my fridge. Like, okay. So when I first got here, I bought all of this fish because I was like, I'm going to eat fish. And then I watched Seaspiracy. And now this fish is rotting. Well, it's not rotting. It's not rotting, but it's sitting in my freezer. Well, you could have given it to someone who isn't trying to be a fish. Ain't nobody going to take my fish.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Ain't nobody going to take my fish. I'm sure there's a neighbor in your building. No, nobody wants that fish. I don't know none of these people like that. Yeah, actually, if I ever saw a bag that was like by the elevator, free fish, I'm not going to eat that. Okay, well, definitely don't do that. There's probably like a shelter or a co-op or something you could like. Be like, I have all this frozen fish.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I mean, frozen fish used to be a dream. I want to say to you all, you know, Donald and I really responded to this documentary, Seaspiracy, as many people have. It's been number one all around the world. documentary, Seaspiracy, as many people have. It's been number one all around the world. And I know there's a lot of people that say, yeah, like, you know, a lot of what he says is true, but he's exaggerating here, here, and here. Well, guess what? Just like Donald reached out to Valerie Bertinelli, I reached out to the creators of Seaspiracy, and they've agreed to come on our show. I love it. Wonderful. So, you know, this documentary was very impactful to me. And like everyone else, I want to ask them like, hey, if one third of what you said is true, I'm down. You got me. But let's discuss some of the critiques of it. We're going to be good interviewers. We're not just going to fawn. Be one-sided yeah we're not going to be we're not just going to fall and we're going to we're going to challenge him like good interviewers and say hey you know you've been critiqued for x y
Starting point is 00:18:29 and z what's your response to that but needless to say he and his uh his wife really opened my eyes to uh two things i didn't know about um um you know the fishing industry well not just that and also game changer man the, the game changer. I didn't, you know, some of the big, some of the best athletes in the world right now, record holders,
Starting point is 00:18:52 Tom Brady, who is old as fuck and should not be playing football right now. Like there's nobody his age doing it the way he's doing it. But because of his plant-based diet, inflammation isn't an issue for him anymore you know what i mean and so he's able to put that because as you get older that's the one thing that you deal with like my back oh my my legs and that's all inflammation and when you're on a plant-based diet you don't necessarily have to worry about those things as much and you recover faster. And so- Yeah. Donald's talking about another one that we watched called Game Changers,
Starting point is 00:19:30 which if you want to, it's a softer intro into this conversation if you don't want to go right to the pain that's being caused to animals. Game Changers is more focused on an MMA fighter who decided to go plant-based in what happened to his recovery. But anyway, we will stop talking about this for now, but it's a conversation that certainly intrigues Donald and I. And let's talk about Scrubs, the TV show. Okay, let's get into it. First of all, how fast did JD get undressed once he thought he was about to have sex with Kylie? There are so many laughs. When I take notes for the episode,
Starting point is 00:20:07 I write down things that made me laugh. I've got two, three full pages of, we're not even going to get to all the shit that made me laugh. Yeah. But the first was, yeah. So I've been on a four-week booty embargo because Kylie has decided that we're not going to,
Starting point is 00:20:23 I don't even, it doesn't even seem like we're doing anything besides kissing. Like she's not even down. That's all you're doing. You're not even touching. Yeah, I don't think we're groping or. There's no fellatio. What did I say people call it?
Starting point is 00:20:32 No, there's certainly no fellatio cunnilingus, but I don't know if they're, heavy petting. That's what our parents used to call it. Right. There's no heavy petting, which is a very funny. The furthest he's gotten is first base for all of those who are wondering what we're talking about. First base, that's it. It seems to me that they're solely kissing. But I get it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 She's a knockout beauty of a woman. She's smart. She's funny. He's very into her. He's saying whatever. Whatever you want. I'm being as patient as I can. But it's funny.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I laughed when I go, she goes, I got you something. And I, God, I hope it's sex or a pony. I'll bet it's sex because I when I go she goes I got you something and I God I hope it's sex or a pony I'll bet it's sex because I don't see a pony there's no way JD wanted sex
Starting point is 00:21:18 on the same level as a pony well I mean a pony comes once in a lifetime sex I believe you can get it again i know but the poor guy is is really riled up we learn we learn very soon after that he's going home and
Starting point is 00:21:31 uh pleasuring what do i say i go i go to visit you guys right wait hold on you tell us you tell us that you've done it already but then you're like i'm gonna stick i'm going now it's time for my nightly ritual my nightly ritual and now it's time for my nightly ritual. My nightly ritual. And now it's time for my nightly ritual. Pleasure myself, weep, and repeat. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:53 so back when I'm there and she turns around, I'm naked and then I'm trying to cover because that's not what, she got me a license plate for Sasha and I say,
Starting point is 00:22:03 oh no, no, I'm just doing laundry. I assume your facilities are in building. And then I go, I'm just really proud of my abs or abs. Abs. And now you and Carla are in a bad place. You're arguing about everything.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You claim that she's making mountains out of molehills. What she kind of is, you know, the toothpaste line is hilarious. You know, Turk, if you can't put the cap
Starting point is 00:22:32 on the toothpaste, how are we supposed to ever have children? Right. But I do, there are things that like couples, like little things.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I mean, the classic, you know, the classic tropey one is the toilet seat putting it up and down. But there are little things that drive couples crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I would not be down with a messy toothpaste tube. I like it. Very nice. I don't want all the gunk all over the top and rolls. You can't be married to Casey then. Why? What does she do? First of all, Casey squeezes the shit out of the toothpaste, right?
Starting point is 00:23:05 And it doesn't matter where it's from. Like, I'm the type of person that's like, all right, let's do it from the bottom. So we always have the toothpaste looking full. Oh, you're organized like that. Just with the toothpaste, I'm like that. Casey's like, she'll grab it from the middle and just squeeze. Sacrilege. And I'll be like, oh, my God, that's the ugliest toothpaste canister I've ever seen in my life now.
Starting point is 00:23:28 But I totally hear this. Like, my wife is – we make – we both do it, but we make mountains out of molehills easily. Yeah. I agree. Well, I think couples can get on each other's nerves with, like, little things. It's just little things that irk you and that make you go, you know, it's so tiny. Who cares? But it's just, you know, we all have our little quirks, things that just drive us crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Like the toilet paper not being replaced. Like, come on. Let's replace the toilet paper. My wife has a bunch of them when it comes to me. But she's hard on me. You know how it goes. Well, she's pretty great. She's amazing.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm not saying she's not amazing but she's hard on me yeah okay you might she she expects the best and she deserves the best so you know um the janitor i really didn't remember the level of the janitor's crush on elliot i i for some reason i didn't remember that i mean he's really pining for her yeah Yeah, so much so that he bets Dr. Cox that they'll be dating, that they are dating. And it's a big bet. It's for his Porsche. It's for the janitor's van.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Janitor puts his van up for Dr. Cox's Porsche. Right. And Elliot and Dr. Cox are you know they don't I you know Elliot doesn't like Cox very much or if she does like him she hates the fact that he's always interrupting her yeah he's always fucking with her we see in the ICU he's embarrassing her in front of her residence and and uh you know he's always fucking with her for no reason. And so she has a motivation to try and get back at him. The janitor comes to Ellie and says, look, I have a bet going.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Will you help me out? He's got to trick Cox to think that we're on a date and then I get his Porsche. And she's like, yeah, fuck that guy. Let's do it. Let's do it. Right. And so she-
Starting point is 00:25:21 The janitor says, I just want a house in the burbs, a Volvo in the driveway, dog fighting ring in my basement. Basement. That's not funny. It's not funny. It's not funny. Mike Vick went to jail for it.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Mike Vick went to jail- Dog fighting is not funny, but the janitor having it be one of his dreams is funny. I'm sorry. I understand. But there are a bunch of animal lovers out there that are like, fuck you, Zach, right now. I'm just going to put it out there. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I do not support having a dog fighting ring anywhere period but the janitor pitching it as a as one of his dreams had the grams back yeah and holy shit does she look beautiful she's always beautiful i know but you know we shot her uh with the backlight and the slow motion and the lingerie. And she looks fuego. Dude, there are moments in this show where I was like, oh, boy. Oh, boy, oh, boy. When you guys crash into the bedroom at the end of the show. Oh, she looks great. And you pull the pants, the dress down.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah, naughty. Oh. Yeah. What about when she's in the hallway? What, you got movement? Well, I wasn't going to say that, but I definitely felt some kind of way. Oh, I was feeling great that my directorial work may have given my best friend movement. I wasn't going to say that because I feel like- Did it just shift a little bit?
Starting point is 00:26:36 There was like a little- Yeah, like a centimeter. It just moved like, sorry to use the metric system, but your peep shifted like a centimeter. There was, right. There was, yeah. If was, it was, yeah. If it were, if it were, if it were a clock. Yeah. It went from, it went from six to six to six.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Oh five. 31. Yeah. Whatever it is. Like it wouldn't be pointing up what's down. So it'd be like. Oh, so it went to like six. If it was at 630, it went to 635.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yes, exactly. would be like oh so it went to like six if it was at 6 30 it went to 6 35 yes exactly mine was like you know when your dog is like lying and like asleep and then it hears a squirrel and does a little look up yeah that's what mine did my peep acted like it it heard a squirrel it's like squirrel anyway she was it was it's, dude, first of all, this is, this is everyone's, not just men, but women too. This is a issue that we all have. Can we be friends with our exes and still maintain a proper relationship with your current or your forever. Here's my thinking about this. And I want to hear everyone's opinion on this. But I think, sure, if it's an occasional, hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Saw the kids on Instagram. Glad things are going so well. Whatever. You know, people definitely cross the line. And that's where the trust is broken. It's one thing to be like, hey, small talk, small talk, small talk. But what Turk is doing in this episode is so fucking out of line. Way out of line.
Starting point is 00:28:14 He's cracking up. She doesn't know he's married. I can't wait to visit you. They're like giggling. Like that would fucking make anyone's feelings hurt. Right. I know for a fact if my wife was talking, well, I don't know for a fact, but if she was talking to her ex-, like if I see her, if we're out and an ex approaches us, I'm going to choke him out. You know what I mean? Like, that's just how I am with it all.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Joelle, you might feel a different kind of way. That's so fast. I don't give a fuck. Like dog, respect the situation, man. You had your chance. It's over. So you don't stay friends with any of your exes i'm not friends with any of my exes no wild what about you joelle and piano what are your thoughts on this controversial topic if we ended well and we're buddies you know it's fine if they're constantly coming around flirting and they don't understand like i definitely there's got to be like new boundaries and understandings of the relationship but you know people are people sometimes the relationship is like oh you know that just didn't work out but you're still a cool person there's a reason we got together in the
Starting point is 00:29:12 first place my none of my relationships have ever ended that way all right you're a burn the bridge when you leave guy i'm like i'm like fuck you no fuck no fuck me, no fuck you, no fuck you, no fuck me. You know in action movies when the action star is walking away and the building blows up behind them and they don't turn around because they're that badass. That's Donald. That shit goes...
Starting point is 00:29:36 Alright, what about you, Daniel? I mean, I feel the same way. I echo that sentiment. It's really about the attitude that you leave with i've definitely had um i similarly have not had a long-term relationship that has ended that way but i've had short-term relationships that have certainly ended with friendship and we're still talking and stuff like that well short-term relate but come on man short-term relationships don't necessarily count because all the short-term relationship was we hooked up once or twice and that was it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 You know what I mean? We're talking about where there was love and commitment. Where there was love and all of that and commitment and all of that stuff. You can't freaking – you can't be like, honey, this is my ex, honey. I want us all to get along. That just doesn't happen. You just have to be respectful and I think – and it shouldn't personally be like a regular thing. It's like, you know, I don't think anyone wants to hear that you're like regularly chatting with your ex.
Starting point is 00:30:33 But maybe that's an immature perspective. I don't know. But here's the other thing, though. Like, okay, I can honestly say I have been in love three, maybe four times in my life. So there are a lot of relationships that I was in where it seemed like it might've been more at the time, but at the end, it was really nothing. You know what I mean? And so, and so I feel like those relationships also fall in the same category as we hooked up a couple of times. It was nothing, though. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:31:08 It's when the relationship was something and it broke up for whatever, you know, for whatever reason it was. You can't look back at that. You know what I mean? I made that mistake before and it is the wrong it is, you know, regardless of what your life, where you are in life, that's the wrong thing. That's just me. Well, I think we can all agree that Turk, especially in the context of their relationships having some troubles, Turk flirting with his college girlfriend and not telling her that he's married and being like, we got to hang out, is pretty fucked up. Well, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:46 And we'll, we'll talk more about having your cake and eating it too. When we come back from this commercial message, we'll be right back. Hi, this is Shannon Doherty host of the new podcast. Let's be clear with Shannon Doherty. You may know me from let's see,

That's what my goal is to give you, to talk about why I feel that cancer to a certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities are as a person with cancer, because I think that there's something so much bigger than me. And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is. And maybe together, we'll find it. It's going to be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in. Listen to Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

Jordan, and you can listen to it right now. had a great conversation with Michael B. Jordan and you can listen to it right now. Michael is known for his performances in both film and television. His breakout role was in Fruitvale Station playing Oscar Grant which earned him widespread praise and numerous award nominations.

Starting point is 00:33:57 I'm Minnie Driver, and this was the idea I set out to explore in my podcast, Minnie Questions. set out to explore in my podcast, Mini Questions. This year, we bring a whole new group of guests to answer the same seven questions, including actress and star of the mega hit sitcom Friends, Courtney Cox. You can't go around it, so you just go through it. This is a roadblock. It's going to catch you down the road. Go through it. Deal with it. Comedian, writer, and star of the series Catastrophe, Rob Delaney. I shouldn't feel guilty about my son's death. He died of a brain tumor. It's part of what happens when your kid dies. Intellectually, you'll understand that it's not your fault,
Starting point is 00:34:32 but you'll still feel guilty. Alt-rock icon, Liz Phair. That personal disaster wrote Guyville. So everything comes out of a dead end. And many, many more. Join me on season three of Many Questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Seven questions, limitless answers. Professional dancer Cheryl Burke has been part of Dancing with the Stars since the very beginning. 26 seasons of the Samba, the Rumba and the Cha-Cha, 24 partners, six finals and two Mirrorball trophies. She knows all the secrets, the behind the scenes arguments and the affairs, the flings, the flirting and the fighting. It's time to tell it all on her new podcast, Sex, Lies and Spray Tans.
Starting point is 00:35:30 We'll take you all the way back to season one and up through today for the dance floor drama like you wouldn't believe. Former partners, co-stars, friends and frenemies will join Cheryl each week. Listen to Sex, Lies and Spray Tans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts gurgle gurgle we miss i missed the gurgle you can gurgle you can gurgle every now and then gurgle gurgle yeah yeah gurgle gurgle take Take it, take it, take it. Oh, gross. Joelle's face. Did you see what she did? She made the, yeah, it is nervous. She had a brace for it.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It just kept coming. It kept coming, all right. Oh, Daniel. Oh, Daniel. Daniel. What the fuck? Daniel. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Thunders applause. Nice. Speaking of thunders applause. Speaking of thunders applause and turning your key, I got to shout out Sean McBean from the graphic designer from Powerpuff. I hope I'm saying your name right. If not, I will find out before we. But this brother hooked it up for us motherfuckers. He fucking made a turn. We each get a key that we can turn and then a nuclear button to push.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I love it. I can't believe it. What does he do? He must be a set dresser. He's not a graphic designer. No, he's a graphic designer. So he did that, and he also did for the show. So he did that, and he also did for the show.
Starting point is 00:37:13 He also made me a lightsaber, and he also got me an Ewok cell from the original Ewok cartoon that I was telling you guys about. That is so sweet. Which is now, first of all, which is now on Disney+. So they have the vintage collection on Disney+, right now, and you can watch the cartoon from Celebration. You can watch the Ewok cartoon. You can't watch Droids. Droids is not on there. But you can watch the original Clone Wars cartoon, which was created by the guy who did Samurai Jack. Genji Tartakovsky.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Right. Who I think has some connection to Powerpuff Girls. Sure does. It was one of the shows he worked on. He was an animator on that show. And then he did Dexter's Lab. And then Samurai Jack. All I gotta say is, there's a rumor out there
Starting point is 00:37:48 that the professor, Professor Utonium, is Samurai Jack. Now, that's been dispelled and everything like that, but wouldn't it be awesome if somewhere... It's a good fan theory. Even though it's not true, it's a fun fan theory. Wouldn't it be awesome if somewhere down the line, if the Powerpuff
Starting point is 00:38:04 Girls gets picked up, I'm swinging a samurai sword. I'm just putting it out there. I'm ready. I'm all for it. I'm all for it. Anyway, should we talk about Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Yeah. How did you?
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah, let's do a quick bit on that. Let's do a quick. I loved it. I'm going to be honest with you. That speech that Mackie gives at the end is right on point. You know, it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:34 the best way to, I guess, nullify trolls is to shout them out right away. And he does it, you know, like he knew right. Like Marvel knows knows everybody knows a black captain in america america might not be ready for you know what i mean yeah they just went
Starting point is 00:38:52 straight at it i like that they just went straight at it it was like very meta he was like yo you know i could feel the stairs through the television right now people hating this and i thought that was i thought that's i think that's honest you know uh here's my opinion i feel like wandavision and captain america and the winter soldier needed a couple of more episodes to tie everything up i feel like all of it's rushed because however many episodes they they have. And so as much as I love both shows, I feel like there's no way you could wrap it all up with just one episode the way they both did. That's just me personally.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Well, it feels like they're building up for either a film or another season, right? I don't know. Joel, what do you think? They really did. By the way, I knew that it was a black and white bromance, but since you planted in my head that we were the last famous black and white bromance, that they really did jump on our bandwagon.
Starting point is 00:39:58 So I would like a cut of all the profits. I feel like they owe me 10%. I'm just going to put it out there. Joelle, how do you feel about it? Let's talk. I don't like it. knew you did i knew you did one was the best and then it just totally jumped to the tracks i'll keep it short because we have a lot of other things to talk about but a lot of the secondary characters were not fleshed out enough for me the uh the entire like people's army thing there and then gone and then they denarist the lead chick where they were here like why did she turn evil what happened
Starting point is 00:40:31 very confusing um i will say the bromance was great uh somebody on mackie's speech was like the juilliard jumped out and i was like it sure did because he performed the hell out of that speech yes he did there's a lot to like, but for me personally, it's not as a complete a vision as WandaVision was. Just from start to finish, WandaVision's like a very clear through line where this was muddled. And that's not, you can't blame Marvel.
Starting point is 00:40:56 It's not their fault, or maybe it is, but they were like, hey, originally there was a big pandemic in the show. And when COVID hit, they cut it all up. And you can definitely tell in some scenes. And so it just- Oh, there was a subplot of a pandemic? There was a subplot of a virus that was killing a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:41:17 And that's originally what Carly- Is that her name on the show, Carly? Yeah. That's what Carly and the Flag Smashers are doing. They're trying to save all of these people. Like in the first episode, when the Winter Soldier jumps on the truck and Carly's on the truck,
Starting point is 00:41:37 he's like, they have vaccine. They have vaccine. And that was for this virus that was supposedly. Did you like the fights? I have some thoughts on the fights. I love the fights. I love the fights. Yeah, I did. I just think sometimes fights are shot in such a way.
Starting point is 00:41:59 I'm not someone who's, as a director, photographed an elaborate fight scene. But I think sometimes you watch a fight and you know where you are, you know the context of the people in the battle. And then other times it's just like a collage of like fist, leg, bop, bop. And it's just like mayhem-y collage. And I don't know where everyone is in the room.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I've lost track of the geography of the fight. And I don't like that as much. I don't know. I don't think, I don't, well, I'll say this. That fight between
Starting point is 00:42:31 Captain America and George St. Pierre where freaking, he's doing all the flips and everywhere, the Falcon, where Captain America's doing all the flips. That shit was fly to death to me.
Starting point is 00:42:46 I thought that was so cool. And then when he catches the punch from Carly and he uses the wings to stop, you know, to, to brace himself and everything. I thought that was very like unique. And I, I would,
Starting point is 00:42:57 I did not see like my whole thing was like, how Sam going to beat these people when they're all super soldiers, was like, how's Sam going to beat these people when they're all super soldiers? But his costume or his armor, like Iron Man, helped him out completely. So he has no special powers. Zero power. The only power that he has is his ability to empathize with people. You know what I mean? And that's what makes him a great Captain America. He can, you know what I mean? He sees why Carly is doing what she's doing but he also understands why the government is doing what they're doing and he you know his super sam's superpower is his ability to talk to soldiers who need it you know and it's always been his
Starting point is 00:43:40 superpower all i'm saying about the fights is for me as, as someone who's watching it as a filmmaker, going, you know, I'm trying to learn, like, you know, in case I watch these things that I don't know anything about sometimes, but trying to learn, like, let me deconstruct how this fight was shot and see. And then sometimes I watch them and I go, wow, that was incredible. Holy shit, how'd they do that? And sometimes I watch,
Starting point is 00:44:00 and this isn't just Marvel, I'm saying in, you know, action sequences. Right, any action movie. And sometimes I watch them, like, I don't them like – the ultimate example of this is Transformers. Like two giant pieces of metal clashing against each other. I'm like, I don't know where we are. I don't even know what that is. You're showing me some piece of metal hitting another piece of metal. And then all of a sudden, how did we get in a warehouse?
Starting point is 00:44:19 Right, yeah. So it's just – I appreciate the direction of fight sequences where you, the viewer, are clear like where we are in the context of the room and it's not just like tight shots of visual mayhem. Yeah. Anyway, let's get back to Scrubs. What a great show it is. Okay. So the brain trust switches. So Crazy Eye Margot. Is this Crazy Eye Margot's first appearance?
Starting point is 00:44:51 No, she's been in the show before, but this is her first appearance maybe this season. Oh, my God. I laughed out loud when he switches. First of all, he goes, he's trying to get the brain trust going. And he goes, wait, what's this? I got it. How can I get blonde doctor to go out on a date with me? And one, what Troy says, Troy says something like, you should just burn her house down. And then no, no, not Troy.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Marty says, Marty says, Marty says, you should just burn her house down. And then Troy goes, I've got the perfect plan, but I need a tugboat. Yeah. And then the janitor says, that's all I ever get from you guys. Tugboats and arson. Yeah. And he goes, Randall, I saved you from that eagle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:38 That made me laugh so hard. That was so funny. And then he goes, Margo, I found your birth mother. She was a tree person. That was so funny. And then he goes, Margo, I found your birth mother. She was a tree person. There's no shame in that. Now, I don't even know what that means, but it was funny. And then he goes, you guys are out. And he turns around, and his new brain trust is Doug the Todd and Ted the lawyer.
Starting point is 00:46:02 And he goes, you guys are in. I need you to focus all your attention on me. And they all put down what they're doing and listen. Yeah, they're all excited to hang out with him. I think that in the chain of who's cool, the janitor's above the three of them. Yeah, he's above all of them. Well, when he said, I found your birth mother,
Starting point is 00:46:20 she was a tree person. It's one of those things where it just sounds funny. I don't really even know what it means, but I laughed. I guess she lives much like the Ewoks. She lives in a tree village. He says, Randall, I saved you from a fucking eagle. Yeah, an eagle tried to get Randall.
Starting point is 00:46:35 An eagle literally tried to grab Randall while he was walking down the street and fucking... That is a scene we really were deprived of a good scene the janitor saving randall from zach how would you have directed that scene oh man i i would have spent the whole budget i uh that would have been a crane that for sure would have been a crane definitely would have crane we probably would have had to done green screen with a with a cgi eagle
Starting point is 00:47:01 and then we would have hung Marty from some wires and had him scream. And then the janitor jumps up and grabs his legs. Yeah, and then the janitor would jump up, probably on the green screen, and just be pulling Marty's legs. Oh my god. If anyone wants to
Starting point is 00:47:22 fund that, I would love to create one. We'll get everybody together. Hi, this is Shannon Doherty, host of the new podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty.

Starting point is 00:51:54 And then he does his exit, like the Kermit the Frog exit, where the body goes first and the heads last. Oh, yeah. I'm sure I said to Bill I was directing. You know, I would always direct after a week off so I could, you know, prep because prepping an episode is a lot of work. And the extra bonus was that I would be around in the writer's room and pitching random jokes in a way that I couldn't be when we were making the show because I was on set. And I just, I'm sure I was like, Bill, we got to get Heather's patient back because that guy was in my first episode. Hilarious.

The janitor was so into janitor-like things as a child that he went to Furnace Camp. That he went to Furnace camp. The janitor was so into janitor-like things as a child that he went to furnace camp. That he went to furnace camp. Oh, we skipped something that was funny. The janitor's trying to bet Cox, and Cox goes, I have no need for a cracked thermos and two rings of keys.
Starting point is 00:55:20 They could. Oh, that was Johnny Pro- Okay, I'm skipping ahead. No no we're at the bar and i just spoke into my british penis and you get rid of the two girls which are carla and elliot yeah and johnny props is the bartender yeah our prop master is the bartender there now i thought this was really cool this um the way that the director me um did this sort of what would have happened if i pushed heather's hair out of her face thing i thought that was really cool because you know i you know the audience seeing it for the first time just assumes that is what happened
Starting point is 00:55:54 and we do this sort of i've never seen this movie sliding doors but people always reference the gwyneth paltrow movie sliding doors when you talk about this like what would have happened if this if if i'd gone this direction and then how my life would have been different okay but i didn't do that i did this instead and um i thought that was cool it was well done yeah you know it reminds me of my favorite movie what's that la la land yes there's a la la land moment to it it's like it's like uh well at least we get to see what would have happened. You know what I mean? But then we also see what really happened.
Starting point is 00:56:31 And, you know, JD, like Turk, puts his foot in his mouth at the end of this episode, which is, you know, my wife always tells me this. She's like, you can lie and lie and lie all you want but eventually the truth comes out you know and it's true you know JD blew off Kylie to go hang out with Molly and when he gets when he realizes oh I don't want to be with Molly I want to be with Kylie and he gets to the apartment, his honesty just comes out. And he tells Kylie the truth. I was out with this one girl, and I realized I didn't want to be with her.
Starting point is 00:57:12 I wanted to be with you. Yeah, he's trying to use it as a means of hitting on her. Like, hey, how great did I do? Meanwhile, I mean, we assume he's drunk because he is, you know. Obviously. Drunk. So he's not really being careful with his words or, you know. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:27 And that causes them to break up. Do you think that she overreacted a bit to that? You know, I don't think. I mean, he really did. They're not. I mean, I assume they're in a committed relationship. They're a month in. Well, she definitely thinks they're in a committed relationship.
Starting point is 00:57:49 But because of Turk and Turk's theory of having your cake and eating it too because he felt like I'm talking to my ex-girlfriend and it's harmless because I take all of that energy and I bring it back to Carla JD feels like yeah you know he falls for the okey-doke Turk's Turk's logic is obviously shit you know what I mean? Like, he's not the smartest dude on the planet. Oh, I want to talk about Neil's acting, because Neil never gets to play a sincere moment. The janitor's always the broad comic relief. And I thought it was really nice to see Neil play a very sincere moment with Sarah.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I thought that was a really, I was surprised by it and it was great. Well, not only was it great, the fact that he learns her name, he learns her name early on and when she walks away, what punctuates it. I got goosebumps. Yeah, it's him saying Elliot
Starting point is 00:58:37 under his breath as she leaves. Yeah, so sweet. To him, they had a moment. He really loves her. He's really, I mean, it's funny, they had a moment. And he really loves her. He's really, I mean, you know, it's funny. It's a testament to Neil's acting and just his skill as a performer that, you know, he's so broad. He's the broadest person on the show in a lot of ways. And then all of a sudden, and obviously a testament to the writing of the show, but all of a sudden, you know, he just drops in and he plays it straight.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And he's like, he has a grounded moment. straight. And he's like, look, I- He has a grounded moment. Yeah, and he's a grounded moment and you buy it. And it's so beautifully performed and it made me want more of it. I was like, you know, I don't want to mess with what Neil's doing because everyone loves it. But it was so heartfelt. And that's a very tricky thing to do also, to go from so broad and so crazy, crazy, crazy, then to have a moment where it's grounded and it doesn't take away from the character.
Starting point is 00:59:33 If anything, it enhances the character. Well, it showed us a new side to the character. And also, I thought it was just heartbreaking. I thought anyone who's ever been in a situation where there was unrequited love and they were pining for someone who had no interest in them could relate to those feelings. He said, you know, you treat me with respect. And I know that you don't feel the same way that I do about you. But, you know, I'm sorry. You know, I don't know the words.
Starting point is 01:00:00 It was great. But it was really, really beautifully done. And then calling her Elliot when she walked away was just like the chef's kiss. Well, and also, like we always talk about, the music is perfect at this moment. Josh Radin's closer. And let's end the show with that beautiful song. By the way, Kerry Brothers has a song in this too. His beautiful song, Waiting for Your Letter, is during one of the montage sequences.
Starting point is 01:00:22 I love that song. But we end with one of our, I think it's safe to say, one of our favorite Josh Radin songs, Closer. Right, Donald? Beautiful song. Yeah, well, that first record used to be my jam.
Starting point is 01:00:34 And then the video was amazing, too. I remember you shot the video. You directed the video. Yeah, at the Hollywood Bowl. At the Hollywood Bowl. And you had all of these great light cues. Yeah. And I remember the video concept is Josh pays the janitor of the Hollywood Bowl
Starting point is 01:00:51 or the custodian of the Hollywood Bowl. He pays him money so he can come in and perform one song. Like it's his dream to perform there so he can perform one song on the stage and the custodian lets all these lights go crazy for him and everything while he performs closer. To an empty house. To an empty house. And I thought that was, I remember that video.
Starting point is 01:01:16 And I remember thinking the concept was really dope also because if you could have that moment, it doesn't need to be necessarily a packed house. If you could have that moment, it doesn't need to be necessarily a packed house, but if your dream was to play the garden and nobody was in the garden, but you got all the effects and the lights were out and everything like that, and you could do one song, wouldn't you take that opportunity? Wouldn't you go for it? Well, it's so cool because, you know, for those of you who don't know about the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, it's just the most beautiful place to see music. It's an outdoor amphitheater and it seats like 18,000 people or something. And it's just a very, very, just Google image, Hollywood Bowl, and you'll see what it looks like. It's beautiful. And so the concept was that Josh is a, you know, young singer songwriter that's by no means selling out the Hollywood Bowl or probably even a small club, the character in the video. And he pays off the door guy.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Now, the way I shot it was I kept it contained for the first part within the dome of the bowl. So you don't really know where you are. You think you're in some really bizarre space. And then at a certain point when the song kicked in, we had this giant crane and we pulled back to reveal that he was playing to an empty house at night with the Hollywood bowl. And we programmed the light board to just go crazy with the lights.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And, and then he finishes the song and the little ghost lamp is just on, on the stage. And he just sort of packs up his guitar and walks off. It was really cool. Check it out. It's on, it's on the YouTubes.
Starting point is 01:02:39 It is on the YouTubes. And then at the end, Turk is dumb. Like always. He fucks up. Turk says the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. And then at the end, Turk is dumb, like always. Yeah, he fucks up. Turk says the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. He's like, well, you know, he's like, I did it.
Starting point is 01:02:55 I told her that we could no longer talk to each other anymore. I got rid of her. And Carla asks him, well, that was really fast. How did you do it? He's like, it was simple. I told her I was married. Yeah, that was fucking idiot and you're not you can't even blame it on being drunk jd's drunk from the from the bar turk is just dumb yeah turk is stupid in that moment in that moment what about when the um
Starting point is 01:03:17 when when uh cox puts the brick on the accelerator of the van what a dick like at the end all of the all of the guys in the show at the end of this, like the janitor's a dick for freaking making a bet with Dr. Cox. Right. Turk is a dummy for freaking saying what he said to Carla. Everyone has a bad look. Yeah, all the guys do. All the guys do.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Well, not the janitor. I guess the janitor lied. Yeah, man. He lied. But he's still, okay, but I'm going to give the janitor a pass because what he says to sarah is so sweet and i he still lied he still lied he still used her to you know who came off great in this episode is crazy eyes margo she's just having lunch she's not bothering anybody
Starting point is 01:03:56 and when the car blow when the van blows up and dr cox just starts cheering. I know. Like, oh, what a dick. He's such an asshole. But it was funny. I remember like, you know, it was like, Zach, the episode's pretty contained. Until the end, we're going to run a van into the hospital and explode it. Woo-hoo! By the way, I felt so bad that we blew that van up. It's like a beautiful antique.
Starting point is 01:04:22 But, you know, we wanted to make you laugh, listeners. Well, the A-Team van's coming next. Oh, you know, we wanted to make you laugh, listeners. Well, the A-Team van's coming next. Oh, yeah. And you should be happy because the reason is he's going to get an A-Team van next. Do we have a caller today or no? We do have a caller. Before we go to the caller, I know
Starting point is 01:04:40 we're going to end with Josh Radin's Closer, but Travis did send us a mother-approved version of the date song. Oh, let's hear it now. If you guys want to hear it. Let's go. Now, listen, for those of you who aren't caught up, by the way, I find myself humming this song to myself all day long. Which part?
Starting point is 01:04:58 Because I know it's part of. I was on Dua Lipa's Levitating, but now I've switched to the Joelle Monique is down to get down song. Which part of the Joelle Monique is down to get down? Usually it's no matter what's between your legs, tomorrow morning you could be making a regs. Joelle Monique is down to get down. My part is, put the bird out on a town. Joelle Monique is down to get down. Do you find yourself walking around set or your apartment humming?
Starting point is 01:05:26 Yes. Me too. Before I get to the shower, I sing it like. What's his name again? We got to give him a shout out. I wish he would write us more hooks for the show. Listen, we can definitely ask him to do that. His name is Travis Freschner.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Well, Travis, listen, if you're listening, I have so much shit I can sign for you. If you're a Scrubs fan, I've got an Alex Inc. hoodie I can sign for you for the genius show that only went 10 episodes. But listen, we need more of your genius hooky melodies because the Joelle Monique song is just fuego. Now, just to catch the listeners up. Sorry, go ahead, Donald. There's a remake. That's what we're about to hear. Yes, we're going to hear the remake because Joelle's mom complained that the lyrics to the song made her sound easy.
Starting point is 01:06:08 And now we're going to hear the non- What's crazy is it's your favorite part of the song. No matter what's between your legs, in the morning you could be making Joelle's legs. I said that wrong. No matter what's between your legs, in the morning you could be making her legs. Joelle Monique is down to get down all right so we're gonna put it right here let's do it yeah i can play it for you right now if you want to hear it yes spread the word down low and high up above joelle monique is looking for love
Starting point is 01:06:39 so play it cool don't be a creep because you're both the kind of girl that you wanna keep Joelle Monique is looking for love Oh yeah Joelle Monique is looking for love That's good too. I like it. I like that version. Yeah, just send that one to your mom. That's really sweet.
Starting point is 01:06:58 But I still think at the end it should be Joelle Monique is going to get down. No, her mom's not going to like that because she thinks it makes her sound promiscuous. No, the part that she thinks makes her sound promiscuous is when she talks about no matter what's between your legs in the morning, you could be making her eggs. No, the last thing you're talking about is like she's down to get down, like somebody to fill her woman needs. As long as you're not a creep and as long as you're looking for love. Well, that's not enough criteria
Starting point is 01:07:27 for Joelle's lover. I'm sure her mom is like, the song should be like, if you've got a PhD and maybe if you're going to med school, Joelle will go out with you on a platonic setting. Right.
Starting point is 01:07:43 If you've got a PhD and you're not a fucking creep, and you're making lots of money. And you'd like to have some herbal tea. And you make a lot of money, Joel. Joel Monique will hold your hand. Joel Monique will hold your hand. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Well, Joelle, I love the song. And please tell him that what other moments in the show need a – maybe the guest arriving needs a theme song? Oh, hell yes. Oh, that's a fucking great idea, Zeeby. Okay. We can work on it. So ask him. Ask him.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Because tell him – and I'm not sure if he listens every week. But please tell him that I'm walking around singing. He's so good at writing hooky melodies. Jingles, I believe they call them. We could use one for the guest, the arrival of the guest. Yeah, because I think me saying the guest's name in the Oprah voice, I've done it. How many episodes are we in now? Quite a few.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Do you know that people will riot in these streets if you don't give them their Oprah intro people like their Oprah one okay I'm just saying you know it makes me want to say this that's what I'm talking about I prefer you say Wu-Tang forever
Starting point is 01:08:58 how about this one do or do not there is no try I'm not going to lie, that's a good Yoda. That is a good Yoda. I can't believe we got Frank Oz to do that. I wish. Shout out to Travy Wavy on Instagram.

And to be honest, I'm still trying to find out what that is. And maybe together, we'll find it. It's going to be a wild ride. So I hope that you all tune in.

I absolutely, I had him laugh and laugh like heaps. So he must have felt sorry for me or something. No, he didn't feel sorry.
Starting point is 01:16:37 I don't think he felt sorry for you. I think he was jealous too. I think he wanted one. I'd be jealous of all this as well. Come on. That's right. That's right. That's right. Well, dude, you made it to the big time.

So I get people who ordinarily wouldn't have the light shone on them and give them a chance to tell their story on a on an audio medium and it's been great I've met some interesting people so far how do you find the people so there's a podcasting web it's kind of like LinkedIn it's called matchmaker.fm and I I thought, for starters, my friend put me onto it. I thought it was a dating scheme for sure. But it was cool. So she put me onto that.

Well, because it'd be cool if you want an expert on a topic. And we might find someone that we know or we can reach out to, but it seems like, oh, we want someone to come on who's an expert on this certain topic.
Starting point is 01:17:50 That could be really cool. Well, it's easy. If I can use it, surely anyone can. Mitch, you're really hard on yourself, man. I'm going to be honest with you. You're so self-deprecating. Come on. You're a badass.

Starting point is 01:20:25 Oof. Stop it, sir. So, yeah, first question is, if you could take a favorite character from any series or movie and put them in scrubs, this question to you all, who would it be and why? Any character from any TV show or movie and put them in scrubs. Don, do you want to go first?
Starting point is 01:20:48 Don't say Star Wars. Don't you fucking bring Boba Fett into our fucking show. I don't want any Ewoks running around our show. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to change it a little bit, though. All right. I don't know what a character from TV or movies, but I can tell you that a director that I wanted so bad to direct an episode of Scrubs was Spike Lee. Because Spike was such a big fan of the show, too.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Every time Zach and I would run into him, he's always very nice to us. He's very complimentive and everything like that. And I really wanted Spike Lee to direct an episode of Scrubs. nice to us and always very you know he's very complimentive and everything like that and i really wanted spike lee to direct an episode of scrubs i you know that was something that i really wanted so if i could have any director character for movie or television or director it would be spike i would like grogu um you're an asshole dude i personally would like grogu. You're an asshole, dude. I personally would like Grogu. You're an asshole, dude. And what's the name of that robot that Taika voices?

Starting point is 01:22:04 I know, brother right I know brother I didn't send you this video because I'm tired of you not replying to them but I believe if I'm not mistaken it's Warwick Davis saying goodbye to the cast members they're all in costume in the jungle on the planet

Starting point is 01:22:45 I either get a thumbs up. Bullshit. Listen, if you don't have the time to write, oh, that's cool. Bullshit. He either writes a thumbs up, the thing where you click on it, or he'll write, I've already seen that. All right. Mitch, do you have another question?
Starting point is 01:22:58 Yeah, well, keeping the theme of podcasts, apart from your own, of course, and when you're about to listen to mine, are there any other podcasts that you don't mind listening to i have an answer for this and i'm not an avid podcast listener because i think the best time to listen to a podcast is personally when you're driving um and i don't i haven't been driving that much but i i did drive far away yesterday and i started something that's amazing if you love movies it's's the Roger Deakins podcast. And Roger Deakins, if you don't know, is perhaps the most respected cinematographer alive. He's got like nine zillion Oscars. And he sits down with primarily other cinematographers and they talk
Starting point is 01:23:38 about how they got started and the craft. And if you're a movie geek and it's particularly a cinematography geek i highly recommend it the title of it is team deacons team deacon so uh i loved that i was fascinated it was so that's that's the one i've listened to i also like murder mystery ones like you know serials set the bar so high and then uh when my girlfriend and i sometimes go on road trips we'll try and find another good murder mystery one um to like you know to binge because i love i love those donalds i'm a huge fan of star wars the black side uh podcast uh that'll be coming out it was supposed to be coming out um may the 4th but we have to push it back a little bit why i'm a huge fan of contract issues but i'm a huge fan of star issues, but I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, the black side.
Starting point is 01:24:28 I'm just putting it out there. So let me get this straight. Your answer to his podcast question is your own podcast. I like that answer, Donald. That hasn't aired yet. Thank you, Joel. Thank you, Joel. Well, that's a good title.
Starting point is 01:24:41 What is it? The black side? The black side. Instead of the dark side, we're the black side of things. That's very clever. I will be tuning in. That's cool, man. I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:24:51 All right, it's time for Australia's favorite segment. It's time to fix your life. All right, Mitch, how can we help you today? Well, that was smoother than my bald head. Well done. So, okay. So I'm new at this whole podcasting thing. I've been doing it for three or four months.
Starting point is 01:25:14 And it all started like this year. I had a bit of a crossroad. So I went to see a clairvoyant for a bit of guidance and it sort of reminded me to do what I love. So it's to talk to people and hear stories and carry on like an absolute dickhead. So in a good way, in a good way.
Starting point is 01:25:29 So my question is seeing how, as I'm new at this whole entertainment thing and I'm trying to find like my stride, what's some advice you can give to me to sort of help? Cause I'm struggling to get like listeners as well. So how can I help get better at my craft and help promote it a bit better as well? I think you're already off to a great start, man. You've found, first of all, you've found a way to promote your podcast
Starting point is 01:25:57 without having to spend any type of money by going on the game show, by coming here coming here these are all great ways to jump off as they say to and i think you're going about it the right way now if you have trouble with listeners after this you know get back at us and we'll plug you again you know what i mean you got you got friends over here at this you know you're a legend for rocking that that onesie on australian television you know what i mean and i certainly think you're and because of sorry don't go ahead sorry and because of that you got love from the fake doctors real friends crew you know what i mean and so and so
Starting point is 01:26:40 uh the way you're going about it right now i I give you props, man, because not a lot of people can crack the code and you found a way to do it. Well, it shows you when you have the courage to go outside the box, how you can reap the rewards of that. I mean, you decided to sort of be silly and go on this quiz show. And in being silly and in putting yourself out there, it landed you not only on the quiz show talking about your podcast, but we saw you and you ended up on here. So it's a testament to you that you're willing to really put yourself out there. I would also say that I'm sure if you look on YouTube and the Internet, there's definitely people that have written about like how to get momentum. You can do targeted ads on Facebook, for example. So Facebook is, even though Facebook is the devil, it's still, if you're trying to get your
Starting point is 01:27:30 message out there, you can do like people in Australia who are listening to podcasts, who like scrubs, who like, you know, you can really narrow the hell out of it down between these ages and just send ads to them um you know so you can get clever with you know i don't really know much about it but i know that if you dig deep on the internet i'm sure there's youtube videos where people give tutorials for like clever ways if you spend a little bit of money um just on on really specifically targeting the people that you want to reach yeah for sure um yeah i i you know i've been a fan of this show for a long time and it's it's actually really really nice to hear some of your idols uh say that like you made a fan out
Starting point is 01:28:12 of me and is it okay if i give a shout out to the guy who put me onto this podcast absolutely so my good friend dave um he um he said to me he said like you know you love the scrubs as much as they're doing a podcast i'm like what and uh he showed me and after episode one i binged season two one and two in about three days so you know wow that's a wow that's a lot of hours i'll do i'm a shift worker in the mine so we get 12 hour shifts so you know you gotta you know while you're operating gear you have to um keep your mind occupied somehow. You said you work in a mine? Let's go back. What are you mining?
Starting point is 01:28:47 You buried the lead, as we say in the newspaper industry, that I'm not a part of. So just in that TV episode, it airs Tuesday this week. I'll send you the link. So I work in a coal mine. So I operate the big haul trucks. So in terms of feet, you're about 27 feet in the air. These are those giant trucks
Starting point is 01:29:05 with tires that are like 20 feet high definitely overcompensating um it's um it's um it's good fun but yeah it's 12 hour shifts and uh it's its own micro community so you have to find ways to to entertain yourself while you're operating and stuff. So you're driving that truck and hauling coal for 12-hour shifts. Yep. Hauling rock for 12-hour shifts. Day and nights, yep. Fucking hell. And you're allowed, thank God, you're allowed to listen to things, right?
Starting point is 01:29:34 Yeah, for sure. Otherwise, it's very limited AM radio stations, and you hear the weather about 1,000 times a shift. How do you pee or poo? I just pull up on the side of the dump and whip it over the deck you know what about what about when you what about when you have to poo oh there's crib huts you just call up uh the dispatch office and you roll in there and do your business and get going again i guess okay so you drive up you drive up and then you climb down and poo yeah so they
Starting point is 01:30:02 give you two breaks through the shift as well so So, you know, you have to have fatigue. I'm drinking so much water lately that I have to pee like all the time. Right, Dom? Yeah, oh my gosh. I was driving yesterday. I had to do a long drive. And I was like, I really wish I had one of those little driving urinals because I would have –
Starting point is 01:30:18 I wish I would have had it. I had this moment where I had my giant – this is what happened, right? I was late going to this appointment. And it was far away. I didn't know how far away. It was so fucking far, and I'm late. And you know when your bladder is like painful, but you're like, come on, bro. You can go 20 more minutes. And I had this – if I was shooting the scene, I had my giant water jug thing that's like two liters.
Starting point is 01:30:38 It's half full, and it's sitting on the passenger seat. And I did like this slow turn to it, and I was like, I could piss in my water jug. I really could. I was like, I was, and I'm like, but I drink out of that. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:30:52 urine is sterile. We're going to wash it. You're obviously not going to keep drinking it. Come on, Zach. And I was like, no, I don't want to insult.
Starting point is 01:30:58 It's like my friend. I'm with him all day. It's like my little R2D2. I'm not going to piss in his mouth. Oh my God. Oh my God. What what oh my gosh are you kidding me what how dare you pee in r2's mouth how dare you even talk about it was a simile it was a simile i said like are you fucking kidding me, dude? I'm sorry. That's blasphemer. Zach, I love you. I just had a bit
Starting point is 01:31:28 of a toilet fail as well a few days ago. If you want to hear that. No! Can you tell it in a non-disgusting way for people that don't? It's not disgusting. We don't want anyone tuning out because of your disgusting... No, it's not. It's ironic because I did my business and then I had to clean it up, so I'm using the toilet brush to do that.
Starting point is 01:31:45 It's already disgusting. It's already disgusting. It's already disgusting. Go ahead. As I'm doing that, I was sneezed. I was sneezed. It would have almost blown a hole through the wall. And as it did that, the toilet brush head snapped off and started to float down the bowl.
Starting point is 01:31:57 No. I had to go get a new toilet brush. That sneeze cost me $19. It was ridiculous. Wait, what did you do with the toilet brush? Oh oh i fished it out with a new toilet brush oh my god that's so fucking gross yo the name of the podcast is life's a mitch y'all yes well you are funny mitch. I got to tell you, you're very funny. You're making me laugh. And I know you work your ass off in the mine. And I know that you aspire, I imagine, to have this podcast be successful enough that you wouldn't have to do that anymore.
Starting point is 01:32:38 And I can tell you that I honestly, you've made the four of us laugh, you know, 10 times since you've been on. So I see good things in your future.
