Starting point is 00:02:13 Hey friends, this is DJ Danil. The following episode contains spoilers for the show Obi-Wan. If you would like to avoid these spoilers, they begin 5 minutes and 15 seconds after I am done speaking. The spoiler conversation ends at 15 minutes when the theme song kicks in. A special note, these timings do not include the ads placed at the beginning of the episodes. Those are placed by region, and therefore I do not know how long they may be. So to keep it simple, five minutes and 15 seconds after I am done speaking is when the spoilers begin, and 15 minutes after I am done speaking is when the theme song begins if you want to hear the conversation spoilers and all sit back relax and enjoy the show wait so how do we talk about this without any spoilers uh okay so you got to be in star wars
Starting point is 00:02:57 that's really exciting you did obi-wan okay i got to be in an episode of obi-wan um you get to talk about let's talk about seeing your name in the start with the star Wars background. It was very exciting. It was very exciting. And I'm not in person as myself. I can say I'm a creature. Okay. That's not really a spoiler.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And we can talk about how that was really cool because the way the creatures designed, it was a puppet with a person inside and then two uh puppeteers using um it had like 70 servos in its head and there's two different puppeteers using like rc remotes that are moving all the the features of the 70 servos in its face servos are gears that operate the puppet. Yeah. They're like little motors and, um, and, and this,
Starting point is 00:03:46 you know, the, the, the different tentacles, the tentacles and the eyebrows and, you know, um, and,
Starting point is 00:03:53 um, and then, and then the way it's rigged is that I wear this headpiece. I posted it on, in my Instagram, if you're curious what it looks like. And when I talk, um,
Starting point is 00:04:01 the jaw moves. And so that was what was so cool about getting to do it. I would have flipped out if it was just a voiceover assignment. But I got to be on set. The character had your mannerisms in your face
Starting point is 00:04:18 even though it looked nothing like you. You know what I mean? But it still felt like you. You know what I mean? And that's what makes that so cool. It was really cool.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Because it's like you're acting with somebody else's face, kind of, but your face still shines through through it. You know what I mean? Because your voice is different. Like there's so many things that were really spectacular about this for me. One, your voice is different, but you're still telling the story so well. You play a pro-Empire character. But that's a bit of a spoiler, isn't it, Joelle?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Not really. We're dancing on the line of it. Not really. We got a lot of a spoiler, isn't it, Joelle? Not really. We're dancing on the line of it. Not really. We got a lot of tweets asking how does Donald feel. People were really worried about the friendship. That's weird. Well, I know I saw that on my Instagram, too, because I don't read Twitter anymore. But Donald, all our fans, because they know this is your fantasy.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I saw the funniest version of it was someone wrote, did you and Donald accidentally mix up your whiteboards? I hope I'm directing something real good real soon. I do want to say that Donald, and he can make jokes about hating it, but he has been, and I was nervous to tell him that i got i got the part but uh of course but he as as every good best friend should be was nothing ever more than holy shit i'm so excited for you oh i cried for like a day don't get it twisted all right see i was wrong i cried cried for a day, but then my fucking, once my ego let it go, I was like, dude, Zach has an opportunity to do something that's so fucking cool. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I'm sorry. Let me finish, dude. Let me finish. And you know he's going to freaking kill it. Freaking kill it. And you know he's going to freaking kill it. And dude, you were amazing man it was really it was a it was um refreshing to see not only for that but you brought my kids back to star wars also my kids you know they adore you and they love you
Starting point is 00:06:38 tremendously and uh i shoved star wars down their throat so hard that they were turned off by it to the point where they won't watch Marvel. If you could be in a Marvel movie next, that would be great, first of all. Because they don't like. Thank you. They don't like Star Wars anymore, or they didn't like Star Wars anymore, and they won't watch Marvel because I obsess over it too much, right? And so when you – so Cheaper by the Dozen came out, and my kids went to the premiere, and you are now like an A-lister in our house. You're not – you are like freaking – you know how Denzel and Harrison Ford was to me?
Starting point is 00:07:21 You're that to my children right now. And so I've seen Cheaper by the Dozen quite a few times, and you are the king of sauce. You know what I mean? I get all of that, right? And so Star Wars comes out, and I haven't told anybody about this at all. Obi-Wan comes out. I haven't told anyone either because I'm so afraid of, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:42 obviously on the podcast, these guys knew forever. And we were being a little bit cheeky about saying, Obi-Wan looks really good. But we would have said that anyway because Donald didn't. You know, I'm a freak about it. And you know, Joel's a freak about it too. And so we had to keep it under wraps because, you know, it was supposed to be a surprise top secret thing.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But we've known about it since before you shot it. I was doing it actually simultaneously with Cheaper by the Dozen. We're going to talk about it a little bit more in depth. So if you don't want to know anything about Obi-Wan, if you haven't watched any of it, I guess skip ahead. Before you go on, spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!
Starting point is 00:08:20 Spoiler alert! Okay, so... spoiler alert spoiler alert okay so um so um that's so fucking cool i'm sorry dude that's the coolest shit ever when you're done with this let me finish my story too go ahead oh sorry i don't know your story but anyway um like the mandalorian a lot of this stuff is shot on this thing called the volume, which is the state-of-the-art stage where it's not green screen. It's live projected, you know, 4K resolution. And so when you're in this thing called the volume, it's all really there. All that stuff in that wacky market where Leia escapes and it's, you know, in the sort of futuristic marketplace where they have the chase scene in episode two, that's like a small, only a few set pieces.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Everything you're seeing is a volume screen. Wow. So it's just insane technology. Even her jumping on across the roof and all of that stuff. No, I'm saying anything like they're interacting with is a set piece, like a roof would be a set piece. Wow. But like anything beyond it, like where a green screen would be is projected live.
Starting point is 00:09:26 So when you're on, when you're in the volume, I've never been, but Debra said, you've got to come check it out. It's, it's the most insane thing you've ever seen because what's crazy is it's happening.
Starting point is 00:09:35 It's live. Like you're just standing there looking at it and she could be like, Oh, those two extras deep in the background, can you delete them? And the guy at the computer is like, do, do,
Starting point is 00:09:42 do, and then they're gone. And it was like, you know, we should probably add like a spaceship landing on that building. And like, at the computer is like, do-do-doot, and then they're gone. And it's like, you know, we should probably add, like, a spaceship landing on that building. And, like, do-do-do-doot, all of a sudden there's a spaceship landing on that building. And you're watching it. Fuck you, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:52 That's so cool. It's so cool. And I believe Mandalorian was the first big show to develop this. But now it's becoming a new, if you can afford it, the new way to do futuristic, well, any sort of- Anything, really. Anything with a budget. Anything with a budget that can afford it.
Starting point is 00:10:10 But anyway, so the point is that my scenes, though, were all- It helps with lighting and everything. My scenes were actually shot out in the desert on this ranch, ranch desert thing. You actually had the most practical part in the right and and it was so hot i felt so bad for the gentleman in the suit because it was really hot and they had like things going inside the suit to help him be cool like cool air uh being pumped in but um but it looked so everything you're seeing on the on on my scenes were shot on location. And I remember turning to Deborah, and there's just that expansive, incredible view.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And I go, you know people are going to think this is fake, right? People are going to think this is the volume. She's like, I know. We spend all this time and money and effort bringing this enormous crew out here, and they're going to think it's fake because it looks so beautiful. Wow. But it was just so cool, and I had to be so top secret about it. But they wouldn't even let me take my sides home.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Like sides are the things an actor gets on the day. They're like a small script of just what you're saying that day. And never in my life has a PA come up to me and been like, hey, we have to take those. I was like, I can't even have these as a souvenir. She was like, no. You know, that's the crazy thing, though. When would you ever take sides home as a souvenir?
Starting point is 00:11:29 No, no, of course not. You know what I mean? Of course not. That shit goes in the trash when you're done anyway after days of work. Yo, man, it's really interesting. Man, like I was saying, my kids now are back on Star Wars. Because Cheaper by the Dozen is such a huge success in my household. All I had to say was, Uncle Zach's in Star Wars this morning.
Starting point is 00:11:51 That is a good sentence, though, to say to my godchildren. Right? And they go, he is? And my son then goes, because I forced them to watch episode one. And they were like, oh, God. That's your nightmare. Yeah. At least you got him on basketball, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:09 At least you got that. No doubt. He's totally playing basketball. And so he goes to me, after he hears that, he goes, maybe I should watch episode two first. Oh, good. And I was like, a word? A word? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:23 And I was like, all right, let's put on episode two. Now, I could watch this shit all day. It's me. You know what I mean? I could watch the great. I could watch the bad. I could watch the so-so. It doesn't matter to me.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's Star Wars. I'm in, right? He sits down. He starts watching. Now he's laughing through the shit, too. You know what I mean? So now he's getting the jokes that uh uh i don't want to spoil anything we're still in the spoiler mode you can talk are we still in the spoiler mode yeah okay cool all
Starting point is 00:12:50 right so he's saying he's laughing at the shit that leia's saying so now i'm like wow this little girl's really making so now my the impact after watching it the second time that this little girl has on my son is like oh snap she's she works perfectly for this right you know what i mean and so uh and so and so now every speech she has i'm listening to what she's saying instead of listening to what you know uh obi-wan and and and what everybody else is saying and so that scene where he talks about how you you know, you remind me of someone. It hits home all of a sudden. Now it's like, oh, it's gut-wrenching.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You know what I mean? Right. Anyway, so. Anyway, I want to say that. Hold on, let me finish. Sorry, I didn't know you were still going. Okay, so let me finish. So we get through that episode and we watch the next episode, which has you in it.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And he's freaking over. Well, actually, he goes away. I put on the next episode. I say, this is the part Uncle Zach's in. He comes running in. They sit down and watch the rest of the episode from that moment on. Oh, cool. Right? And so then anyway, so this morning I'm sleeping.
Starting point is 00:14:02 He comes down. He wakes up early every morning. I walk into, we call it the cool room. It's the room where we have the video games, where we have the arcade. It's like the arcade, right? He, it started off as the kid's room and he named it the cool room as a kid. So I walk into the room and he's in there watching Obi-Wan Kenobi and it's your part. And he goes, this is one of my favorite shows, Dad.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And I'm like, yes! I brought them back. Fuck yes! I brought them back. That's amazing. ZB! You came through! All I want now, I'm just praying for an action figure.
Starting point is 00:14:39 That's all I want. Or a Lego set. Well, you have the opportunity to come back. You think Freck's going to get a figure? I'm not dead, so I could come back. Right, you could come back. And that was a freaking awesome scene, too. If you're listening to this, please write in,
Starting point is 00:14:54 you guys better bring back Freck. He was amazing. Anyway, I got to thank Deborah Chow. And Joelle is wearing a directed by Deborah Chow t-shirt, which is very cute. It's just incredible the amount of pressure that was on her shoulder. She directed every single one of these episodes. She should get a movie, man. She should get a movie.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Oh, I'm sure she'll get. They should do an, I mean, I don't know how this ends. So I don't want to, you know, if this is it, if this is a limited series, I don't want to. But this would be a dope movie also all i can say is uh you know most of these shows um as you know several directors do them and she did them all and she's just the amount of pressure on this woman's shoulders and she was always cool and always calm and uh you know she's just the number one stream show ever in disney plus history yeah ever yeah and she had all the pressure of the fans desires and the studio's desires and ewan's desires and everyone all that on her shoulders and every doing every single episode so she's a pretty incredible person and filmmaker,
Starting point is 00:16:06 and I want to give her a shout-out. All right, should we end the spoiler section? Before we end the spoiler section, there is one thing that we have to talk about. We can't talk about the positive without talking about the little bit of negative. First of all, all of these people out there that are bullying or talking shit about young Moses, or talking shit about young Moses,
Starting point is 00:16:29 you can eat a capital D-I-C-K for your racist comments, dude. It's one thing to not like a performance, but to go in on her because of the color of her skin is some bullshit, dude. Or whatever the fuck you identify as. You can eat and you can... That's so horrible. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Didn't this also happen to the Asian woman who was the star of... Yes. Kelly Marie Tran. Yeah, it's just a horrible aspect of the fan base, of some of the fan base, obviously, that happens. It's really disheartening.
Starting point is 00:17:03 But it makes it... I mean mean come on this is supposed to be somebody's big break and your idea of fandom is unnecessary and not wanted and not needed so please keep that to yourself if ever you feel like i the way i'm gonna express how i feel about somebody's performance is to go directly at their heart and feelings or at their race. You are not a fan. You are a fucking piece of shit. That's how I go at people like that.
Starting point is 00:17:36 There it is. Good. Hear, hear. Wu-Tang forever. I think we should. That's the end of the spoiler section, Daniel. You'll figure out the time there. And let's get into the show.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Donald, count us in. Five, six, seven, eight. Stories about a show we made. About a bunch of docs and nurses in a Canada who love me. I said here's the stories that we all should know. So gather round to hear our gather round to hear our Scrubs Rewatch Show with Zach and Donald.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Mm-hmm. Well, the first thing we have to say is Judy Reyes, Judy Reyes, Judy Reyes in this episode. Oh, cow, dude. Damn. Holy shit, she had me crying. I mean, I just think that Judy Reyes,
Starting point is 00:18:25 that she just, her reel of acting should just be this scene. Yes. She's just so talented, and I'm excited. It will have already happened when you hear this, but we are all going down to Austin, and we're all going to reunite. And I'm so excited, Donald, to have fun with you. Bill is coming.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Dal and I and Sarah were planning on going down a night early just to have some fun together. And Bill just texted me that he's going to join us a day early. I love it. And then the whole cast, all the leads except for Ken, understandably, are going down to do this panel, and we're all going to have dinner Saturday night together, which is, I mean, we haven't had dinner together probably, I mean, ever. No. Well, yeah, remember after we lost.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Well, we lost a few times. Every time we lost an awards show, we would go to dinner right after we lost. I remember that was the one thing that I was like, I appreciate Bill for this so much. We'd lose, and he'd be like, y'all ready to go? We'd be like, yep. He's like, we're not sitting here. Let's get out of here.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Well, I couldn't help but think that Judy should have been nominated for her performance in this episode. Oh, absolutely. She's just so heartbreaking at the end. But we'll get there. So Laverne, if you recall, this is a to-be-continued episode. This is, what's the name of it, Joelle,
Starting point is 00:19:52 this episode? My Long Goodbye. My Long Goodbye. And written by Dave Tennant and directed by Victor Nelly Jr. Laverne is in a coma from her car accident and everybody is dealing... Yeah, go ahead. Laverne is in a coma from her car accident and everybody is dealing
Starting point is 00:20:08 yeah go ahead everybody is dealing with the grief of it in their own different way right Elliot's fucking like crazy Elliot has decided to fuck like crazy yeah that's her go to and we know that she's doing it by the number of scratches on Keith's back.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Right. And she gets to the cross mark. Where it comes five. You know what I mean? It was like one, two, three, four. What do they call that when you're doing the- Hashtag? It's the cross mark, I thought, right?
Starting point is 00:20:41 No? What do they call that thing when you do one, two, three, four, and then you put a hash to the five? um yeah tally markers hash hash i i keep wanting to say hash but not hashtag comes up in google is accurate oh hashtag does tally marks tally marks okay there you go okay so we put the sound she's she's had sex with him five times so she's put she puts the fifth tally mark on but then wants to go again yeah then wants to go again remember the penis doctors dr penis he told us that that that's called a refractory period how i believe how quickly the man can go again keith has a very low refractory period yes it is it is it is one would say lightning quick. I would say it's seconds because she says, let's go again.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And he's ready. And he goes, yes! I do not have that. It's quick, but it's not that quick. Well, you're also 48. When I was young, it wasn't that quick either. Yeah, when I was young, my refractory period wasn't that quick either. I think only in the movies and TV, it's that quick.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Right. Especially on the- But I don't know. There's probably someone listening who's like, no, my refractory period is like five seconds, man. And that person has a lot of kids. Yeah. That person has a lot of kids. And that person has a lot of kids.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yeah. That person has a lot of kids. So JD and Turk have decided to do something they've always wanted to do, which is mailbox baseball at Kelso's house. Yes. And Kelso has reinforced his mailbox with titanium because Enid, what did she do? She hit it with the RV too many times. Too many times. But why is Enid driving? I don't think Enid, what did she do? She hit it with the RV too many times. Too many times. But why is Enid driving? I don't think Enid.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I thought she had dementia. She has dementia. Sorry, I'm not laughing at dementia. I'm laughing at the fact that Enid with dementia is driving the RV. I don't think she should be. No, I don't think that's a good idea. But anyway, you get kicked off. Now, your stuntman, I went back and froze frame. Doesn't look anything like you. I don't think that's a good idea. But anyway, you get kicked off.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Now, your stuntman, I went back and froze frame. Doesn't look anything like you. Oh, that's too bad. Now, of course, when you're watching something in normal speed, you would never notice this. Well, there's the most infamous one. By the way, the fellow, whoever he is, I'm sorry, I don't have your name. He did take a very nice fall off a scooter.
Starting point is 00:23:07 But I saw that it was clearly not you. you know there's the most infamous not the person stuntman from beverly hills cop when eddie murphy throws the guy over the table the stuntman looks like richard pryor and at least the dude had a bald head in this one yeah and he had a mustache i don't know if it was fake or not. Wait, in Beverly Hills Cop? No, in this one. Oh, no, they really did the Beverly Hills Cop maneuver. What, just put a mustache on a guy? No, did I have a mustache? I didn't have a mustache at this point.
Starting point is 00:23:35 In this episode, you have a mustache. Really? I only knew because I went back and looked at it, and I was like, the guy looks nothing like him, but I froze frame. And it was like, well, at least they put the mustache on them.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Wow. Do you remember me rocking a mustache all the time? I just remember that sometimes you would, and sometimes you wouldn't. And when we, when we needed to highlight the mole, we, we would take it off.
Starting point is 00:24:00 We'd shave the mustache. I thought that was Lonnie playing the guy who gets bad news. Didn't you? I did. But then I realized it was a Lonnie lookalike. Yes. Because Bill was pretty good about not repeating characters ever. I think there's like a handful of examples maybe.
Starting point is 00:24:18 But I was like, why is Lonnie getting the bad news from the bad news robot? Now, the bad news robot is pretty funny. It's made of a garbage can. I don't know what it's made of, but that's a freaking very funny soap opera fantasy with the robot. Yeah. The kid. Wait, wait. Don't get it.
Starting point is 00:24:40 First, it starts with the garbage. First of all, it's the bad news robot. It comes in, and it's a garbage can with a scooter handlebar. Johnny O must have made this thing. Well, OK, right. And it comes in. To give bad news. To give bad news.
Starting point is 00:24:57 And it gives the kid the news that he has cancer. And then it dies. No, wait. And then it says, press the button for a pep talk or press the button if you give up yeah and the kid presses the button for the pep talk and the robot goes you have pressed the button for a pep talk you are going you are strong you are and then he starts smoking because because it breaks him And then the robot dies. And then we cut to-
Starting point is 00:25:27 The robot's now in the bed. Right. And- And I have to give his robot kids two little smaller robots. The bad news. The bad news. And then one takes out a laser. And blasts you.
Starting point is 00:25:41 And shoots me. Blasts me. And you disintegrate. Yeah. And then the other one comes through and backs you and shoots me blast you disintegrate yeah and then the other one the other one comes through and back that was very funny that was yeah that was very very stoner very stonery yeah hilarious yeah uh jordan and cox are having the baby yes they don't want anyone to know about it she didn't even tell him.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I like that he puts on a Rutgers t-shirt to represent Jersey. I don't know if Johnny has a connection to Rutgers. I did. I got into Rutgers. I don't know. No, he went to NYU. I think he went to Syracuse too. I'm not sure. I don't know. I got into Rutgers. I remember, dude, I remember getting into Rutgers, and it's the only
Starting point is 00:26:23 college that I got into, and I only got in because my mom went to Rutgers. This is such a bad story, but my mom went to Rutgers. I remember, dude, I remember getting into Rutgers, and that's the only college that I got into. And I only got in because my mom went to Rutgers. This is such a bad story. But my mom went to Rutgers, and her college professor, her drama professor was Avery Brooks, right? And so anyway, I go out for Rutgers. My grades in high school are shit. I didn't go to high school.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I was a horrible, I mean. You were in fame. You were in the fame high school. I was a horrible, I mean- You were in fame. You were in the fame high school. I cut a lot. And I have a lot of teachers there that helped push me through and I appreciate you all. But in all honesty, I wasn't a good student. And so my mom's dream was for me to go to Rutgers. I went and I did the audition and I got in and I remember my guidance counselor's face Mr. Knapp when I told him I'm not gonna go to college My dream was to go to LA and make it as an actor and I remember his face when I said that shit
Starting point is 00:27:13 He was like, oh Donald. Don't you? Oh man like and I was like nah He was like I might my guidance counselor who was also my history teacher couldn't believe that I got into college Also, so when I saw Johnny see what that Rutgers shirt on I was like, holy shit who was also my history teacher, couldn't believe that I got into college also. So when I saw Johnny C. with that Rutgers shirt on, I was like, holy shit. This is full circle, man. I remember this moment. I remember the moment when I told him and my mom, no, that shit ain't happening. We got to ask Johnny when we see him why he decided to give Rutgers a shout out.

And he's been cited as an inspiration by multiple Latin stars, including J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Osuna, Antina Tasha. Explore the evolution of this dynamic genre and what makes it resonate globally.
Starting point is 00:31:22 How you consume reggaeton, how you share and distribute reggaeton, those are all an important part of the story. It's the way that the people are experiencing reyedong along with the musicians. Listen to El Flow as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. By the way, did you notice that it's a small little Easter egg, but when Kelso comes out of his house after you on the ground, he's holding a Plomox mug, which is the...
Starting point is 00:31:55 Plomox goes all the way back to Heather Locklear. Yeah. I like the little Easter egg that he's still rocking a Plomox mug. Right on. So Cox and Jordan don't want anyone to know about their that they're having the c-section and um they've asked jd for a favor but he's so worked up in his head about trying to be the godfather and and the fact that he's going to be the only one who knows the secret that he doesn't hear uh what cox's one
Starting point is 00:32:25 request is and um and so he misses it but he's like don't but he's like should i ask again no no and then he'll think he can't trust you so he has a plan to well he was he remembers he was still looking at cox while he's daydreaming. He just wasn't listening. So he goes, he has a plan to go to some doctor. An audiologist, I guess. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Who can read the lips. He recreates. Right. And he tries to recreate what Cox was doing. Yeah. I do a Cox impression and then I try and recreate which is bizarre that JD has such a memory that he can
Starting point is 00:33:09 remember what Cox's lips were doing. The audiologist says yes, he wants you to go buy some more film for his camera. That makes perfect sense because there's a baby on the way. JD believes that and goes to get.
Starting point is 00:33:25 And so you kids out there, you used to put film in a camera. Now a camera used to be separate from your iPhone. It used to be a whole nother apparatus actually. So Elliot's the first person to go say goodbye to Laverne. She, just in case something bad happens before the the uh cat scan comes back elliot's the first person to go in and she you know it's a wonderful job everybody who
Starting point is 00:33:56 went into the room to say goodbye to nurse roberts does such a wonderful job. Yeah, including you. You were very good in your scene. Thank you very much. But when Elliot goes... This is what Laverne taught her? Yeah. This is Laverne. I want to thank you for all the things that you taught me. Like when white people come out of the rain,
Starting point is 00:34:21 they smell like wet dog. come out of the rain. They smell like wet dog. And then Elliot gets caught up in that. Yeah, she's moved by it. Elliot's moved by that. And she goes, they do. They really do.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Or did she say we do? I forgot if she said they or we. And then there's another moment and she goes, we really do. It was great. It was a very funny moment. I laughed very hard. But also we learned that when Carl is being followed around by this ghost, that also Cox is followed around by a ghost as well.
Starting point is 00:35:07 He's followed around by the ghost of nicole sullivan's character yes and i read on scrubs wiki that it was originally supposed to be brennan frazier um but he was unavailable and so they asked nicole sullivan oh wow well scrubs wiki trivia there for you i think that's rumor i mean they don't know how did they know uh it may have been something. Sometimes Scrubs Wiki, I think, gets stuff off the DVD commentaries that we did. So that might have been something Bill said in the DVD commentary. Todd says, if doing you right now could help. Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:35:42 That's the best one when the trio is in there. When that trio is in there, that is the best one when the trio is in there. When that trio is in there, that is the best one. Todd's sweet words of pep talk. He goes, you were the woman I'd never do because you're a big girl. But if doing you right now would save your life. Is that what he said? I would. Doing you right now would save your life. Is that what he said? I would. Doing you right now could help.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Right. I would. Like so sincere. I would. I would. So we also learned the janitor was the lifeguard at Laverne's pool party. Pool party, yeah. Even though he's not even though he's not a strong swimmer right and then he made a button which he somehow made abundantly clear
Starting point is 00:36:30 yes and then he then he says something that that really is twisted if you see your dog up there please tell him i'm sorry sorry which means that laverne's dog was killed at one of her above ground pool parsies. No, in the pool when the janitor was supposed to be a lifeguard. Yes, but he couldn't save the dog. But he couldn't save the dog because he couldn't swim. I'm sorry. Oh, man. That's morbid.
Starting point is 00:37:02 So then the janitor reveals that he converted to the norse religion right because he thinks that laverne's going to valhalla yes i don't know okay we've got to go back also what carla also carla is in such denial but she also reveals that there was a mr wang in the uh hospital who went into a coma in 1984 and just woke up yeah but when he woke up he he's moonwalking in a michael jackson outfit with the rubik's cube in his hand and says where's the beef i love that he he had all that in his room for so many years. For that long. He's moonwalking in, was it the Michael Jackson? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:50 He's moonwalking in the red Michael Jackson outfit. From Thriller. From Thriller. Is he the Thriller or Beat? It was Thriller. It was Thriller, I think. Because Billie Jean is black. And then he's got the Rubik's Cube and then he says, where's the beef?
Starting point is 00:38:06 For those of you who are too young, that was a famous Wendy's commercial. Wendy's, yeah. Where this old woman would open up her burger bun. From various burger fast food places. And she became famous all around. It was like a very, very famous, very famous campaign. And the burger meat was too small. And she'd go, where's the beef?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Where's the beef? Yeah, I do remember that. That woman was like 900 years old. I had one of those t-shirts. You didn't have a where's the beef t-shirt? You had a where's the beef t-shirt? Absolutely. I had Simpson.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Dude, I had a collection of Simpsons t-shirts, and I had never watched the Simpsons. But Bart Simpson was so popular that fucking I had his face plastered. So you were a poser. Dude, I said this many a times in high school. Dude, I walked around dressed as Belle Bib DeVoe. I had hammer pants on. I was that kid in high school. But no, but you at least loved those things.
Starting point is 00:39:02 You're saying you wore a Bart Simpson t-shirt and didn't watch the Simpsons. Oh, no. I loved Bart Simpson, but I wore a bart simpson t-shirt and didn't watch the simpsons oh no i love bart simpson but i didn't watch the simpsons because i didn't watch them i love bart simpson because when you would go to the movies and they would have that those little shorts before the movies and it would be the simpson cartoon and that's how i knew who they were uh but as far as i remember it's starting on the tracy tracy allman show as well yeah but if you went to the movies like a couple of movies I went to, there was like one where the Simpsons go to a therapist and they're all sitting on a therapist chair. And by the end of it, uh, Homer's choking the shit out of Bart. But anyway, I had, my favorite shirt was one where Bart's a Rasta man and he's holding
Starting point is 00:39:44 a blunt. Oh, I see. That would make you look cool with your friends. Right. This is in high school, too. So I got a lot of yearbook pictures with me wearing that shirt. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Only in a Manhattan school could you take your yearbook picture. Only at the professional children's school was that possible. Only at the professional children's school in Manhattan can you take your class picture with bart as a rasta man with a joint well it wasn't a class picture it's like me on a freaking uh uh it was like a field day and where the whole school was on a field you know it was like in central park uh let's digress roman how did you feel about the miami heat celtics game i know how you felt you felt it was over after the first five minutes i was trying to i was trying to convince donald i was felt it was over after the first five minutes of the game. I was trying to convince Donald I was watching.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I watched the first five minutes where they were up by like 10 and I go, it's over. I go, I can't watch anymore. It's over. It's over. The lead's too big. Not in the first quarter. There's not enough.
Starting point is 00:40:41 It was like the first two minutes of the game. Stop it. Dude, that game was such a good game until the last. Listen, I'm going to say one thing, and I'll probably get heat for it. No pun intended. Right. But he is my favorite player in the NBA. But the decision he made at the end of the game to pull that three,
Starting point is 00:41:10 I'm sure he's tired. And I know Al Horford is a beast of a defender, but he had Al Horford backing up on his heels. And Jimmy Butler decided to pull almost from the logo a three. You disagree with the decision? I don't think that was the right decision. I thought he should have put it in Al Horford's chest and tried to get the M1 at least.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Daniel, did you watch the game? Do you agree with Donald's assessment? I mean, I definitely agree with Donald's assessment. I did not watch the game. I watched the highlights. I'm a big Jimmy Butts fan. Love Jimmy Buckets. But it's like the Michael Jordan quote.
Starting point is 00:41:50 You're past the ball to make that shot like 40 times. You'll miss it 30 times, but it's not going to stop you from trying. Right. He missed it on the biggest stage to go to the finals, though. That happens. Yeah. If he made it, they go to the finals. Yeah. And it's a wrap. And he's freaking, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And that's sports that are top ten for the year. For the year, it's freaking Kawhi Leonard when he did it to Joel Embiid and Jimmy Buckets. With the bounce? With the bounce. You know what I mean? Yeah, totally. All right, I'm going to pull this back. This went beyond what I wanted. Anyway, you asked.
Starting point is 00:42:22 No, I wanted, for those sports lovers out there who listen, I wanted to give you your little moment to talk about it. I tried. I want you to know I tried. I gave it a solid. Other than that, I'm happy for the Celtics, though, man. The Celtics had 17 points. I don't think it ever got that big.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Or 10 points up, whatever. I was't think it ever got that big. Or 10 points up, whatever. I was like, it's over, Donald. But I was having fun with all my friends being like, I need this. This is a big one. So stupid. All right, back. Let's take a break. We're going to take a quick break,
Starting point is 00:42:59 and we'll be right back with some more talk about the TV show Scrubs. When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.

I'm using this trip to get uh off the marijuana okay good but you're still i i imagine gonna have a mimosa or something on the plane yeah but i can't drink like i used to be able to drink like that i know that's why i'm telling you to pace because you don't need to tell me to pace i've already i'm a grown-ass man i know you're gonna get woozy that's not fun for me is my point i don't need to tell me the pace. I'm a grown-ass man. I know my limits. I just don't want to woozy. You're going to get woozy. That's not fun for me, is my point. I don't like the feeling of the room spinning.
Starting point is 00:47:31 I don't like the feeling of I'm about to throw up. So I'll have a drink, and if that shit's too sweet, I'm not going to finish it. You honor me. Listen, I want to make sure that you don't mimosa out too much on the plane yeah i hope they die and i hope they burn in hell what's that airplane no sam jackson oh oh the snakes no do you remember an airplane when they when they when they cut to the counterpoint segment and the guy's like, they bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say, let them crash.
Starting point is 00:48:14 All right. As long as you promise not to get woozy because I got a nice dinner reservation for us. Where are we eating? Is it me, you, Sarah, and Bill? It's me, you, Sarah, and Bill, and Ryan, our friend Ryan. Right, okay. I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:48:29 We're going to have fun. Just don't get too woozy. I can't believe Sarah's coming. She never does anything spontaneous. No disrespect to Sarah, but she's not Captain. I'm sure she's sick of being in Canada. Well, all I got to tell is, I guarantee you, we've told you on the podcast that there's always a story with Sarah. And I know that she's going to show up and be like, you guys are not going to believe what happened during my travel.
Starting point is 00:48:55 My Canadian citizenship is no longer. Yeah. I am now officially an American. I got to the airport. They had revoked my Canadian citizenship. My passport, I didn't know it was expired. There's going to be some, you will never not see Sarah with like, you're not going to believe what happened today.
Starting point is 00:49:11 It won't even be yesterday. It'll be like today. So the plane lands. Then they're about to accept my passport, and it falls through a grate in the floor. Sometimes it gets really action-yy too man like one time the car time yeah one time it was a car was barreling down a hill towards a picnic where sarah and the kids were eating it was her car she didn't put the brake on. She didn't put the brake on. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:45 She didn't put the brake on. And so, is it, was it her sister's husband or was it? I don't know. But another time Somebody jumps in the car
Starting point is 00:49:55 and, you know, the car's parked so the wheel is hard to turn now and rips the wheel and the car spins out and barely misses them.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Yeah. This is a, this is a, there's never, there was never, there's never a moment when we story at lunch on our next segment, on our next episode, we'll tell you what,
Starting point is 00:50:16 what Sarah's assuming we're allowed to, we'll tell you what Sarah's drama for the day was when we see her. And she's always out of breath for some reason when she tells it. No. And then listen. I'm so excited to see her. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I know. I can't wait. We're going to have fun. All right, back to the show. So we learn that Kelso and Laverne had sex. A bit. For a bit. He goes to kiss her, which feels inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:50:48 But then Laverne's ghost tells Carla, like, I don't mind. We once did it. Right. Before I was with Mr. Roberts. Let me tell you something. That man loves him some brown sugar. Yeah, but Laverne remembered it fondly it seemed like you know the audience is a little bit like creeped out at first like why is kelso kissing
Starting point is 00:51:11 her and then you cut to laverne's ghost revealing like it wasn't as if to imply like it was a it was oh no we had a good yeah we had a good couple of we had a good run yeah we had a good bang we had some good sessions yeah unfortunately I couldn't get past the racism. I couldn't get past that. And the misogyny. So then J.D. frantically realizes that when Cox says, did you do what I said, that the lip reading was very off, and it was, will you go pick up my son?
Starting point is 00:51:42 Yes. So he frantically texts Lloyd. Wow. The fact that Lloyd's his go-to. Why did he choose Lloyd of all people? The fact that Lloyd's his go-to. I mean, you know, ever since, Lloyd's reliable. Well, he- He's reliable with the job and he's reliable with the kid, it turns out, too.
Starting point is 00:52:02 I know, but he, well, he comes through. Yeah. And we cut to Lloyd cranking speed metal. Is that what it's called, Daniel? Speed metal? That is a form of metal, yeah. I think that's what it was. I have to go back and listen to it again.
Starting point is 00:52:15 When they go like, hurrah! Hurrah! Yeah, what's that called? Hurrah! Hurrah! I can't think of a kind of music I like less. What the fuck is that? I kind of...
Starting point is 00:52:27 What the fuck? No disrespect. No disrespect to all the wonderful artists who create it. It's just, you know, it's each their own. I'm sure you don't like slow, sad singer-songwriter music. But I just don't understand... Daniel, do you listen to any of that? Ha-ra-ha-ru-ra-da-da-ru-ra-ru-ra.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Ha-ra-ha-ru-ra-da-da-da-ru-ra-ru-ra. Hold on. At one point, there's somebody that always does this in that song. Ha-ra-ha-ru-ra-da-da-da-ru-ra-ru-ra that song get a good pig squeal going what the fuck is that what's that kind of music called it's metal no that's not metal it's some type of metal
Starting point is 00:53:14 like guar is that guar I'm trying to skip to the point in the episode so I can hear it again because I'm having trouble remembering exactly what the actual music part sounded like well just cut to Lloyd. The kid loves it. The kid is jamming out. What kid would not love that?
Starting point is 00:53:30 No, but really? I think some kids... Anyway, what's cute in the episode is that Cox's kid is jamming out to it. He loves it. Your kids love noise because they make so much of it. So, I'm like, look, I love this song.
Starting point is 00:53:48 My kids love this song even more than I do now. And we don't play the dirty version. But Kendrick Lamar's Be Humble. Oh, yeah. Great song. They want that song so loud because that bass kick in that shit is so hard. I'm telling you, kids love that. Whatever that is, they love that.
Starting point is 00:54:13 And speed metal has that hardcore. I just don't know, and I'm sure some of our listeners know, I feel like there's probably a more specific term than speed metal for with the drum behind it and then it goes into can you imagine coming home from work
Starting point is 00:54:39 and be like honey put on that speed metal track I love when you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.

Starting point is 00:57:54 Then we learn Laverne from the chart and the CT scan is officially brain dead. And when Cox says, bye, Laverne, I'm getting goosebumps on my thighs as I say it because it was a very powerful moment. And then I have the flashback to the pilot, which was a really beautiful thing that Bill did, cutting to the very first episode when she's like, will you just pronounce them so I can go home? That's the only scene she has in the pilot too, isn't it? Is that? No, I think she's got another one okay um maybe but you remember when we had a loma on she said she just thought she she didn't know she was gonna come back yeah um oh wait no no i know you're right you know what because didn't the loma say she had two lines and then when the episode airs she had one or something well you just pronounced

Starting point is 00:59:30 Right. Yeah. And by the way, I read on Scrubs Wiki that if you recall, Johnny C was bald-headed in the previous episode. Or was it the last one or one before? It was just random. It was before the last. Yeah. And it was never explained
Starting point is 00:59:45 because they changed the order. So this was the episode where he shaved his head. Well, this was the episode where Johnny showed up with a shaved head. No, in the very top of this episode, he shaves his head. He goes, yeah, there must have been a reason behind it. I feel like, why did, I wonder why,
Starting point is 01:00:02 I don't think Bill would have written that in. Johnny C. maybe had a... No, that's what I'm trying to say johnny came in with a shaved head oh and that's how that and that's where this all comes from oh was it from a role or did he just decide to shave his head i don't know that's a johnny question but yeah i remember they had to they had to figure out a way to write it in but anyway it's it's anyway, it's explained in this episode. So that was one of my favorite ones. Sorry, yes, go ahead. My other favorite one is when all you guys are in the room and you're doing the shadow
Starting point is 01:00:33 puppets. That was so funny. Holy shit. We recreate Pearl Harbor pretty impressively. Very impressively. With planes crashing
Starting point is 01:00:47 and fucking Ted can't help it. It brings in the alligator. It has to bring in the alligator. Yeah. And I go, Ted, there were no alligators
Starting point is 01:00:57 at Pearl Harbor. Aww. And then I go, we can also do the Gettysburg and the first act of Miss Saigon. I would have loved to see them do the first act of Miss Saigon, or at least a number. That would have been amazing.
Starting point is 01:01:13 And then finally, my last one was the one you said, but it's when Elliot's uterus starts glowing like E.T. That shit made me laugh so hard. It was like phoning home it was like the uterus phoned home did somebody just have a baby? Elliot can always sense and it's just like E.T.'s finger I've said that
Starting point is 01:01:36 before in life and forgot that it was a scrubs joke no but freaking E.T.'s chest lights up too his heart lights up I forgot about that. I always thought it was just his finger. No, no, no, his chest. That's what freaking turn on your heart light's about.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Neil Diamond. Turn on your heart light. Let it shine wherever you go. Don't you think Neil Diamond wrote that before E.T.? No, he wrote that for E.T. It's in E.T.? No, look it up. It's about E.T.? No, look it up. It's about E.T.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Turn on your heart light. Juel, this is mind-blowing, if true. Let it shine wherever you go. You're telling me that Neil Diamond's Heartlight song is about E.T.'s glowing chest? He was so inspired by E.T. that he wrote turn on your hot light. That's what he's talking about. A reported $25,000
Starting point is 01:02:31 in lawyers for MCA felt this song infringed upon the copyright of the film. What? Let it shine wherever you go. Wait a second, they sued him? Yeah, according to Rolling Stone they did. Wait a second. they sued him? Yeah, according to Rolling Stone, they did. Wait a second, this dude wrote the song inspired by E.T. and then they sued him?
Starting point is 01:02:56 What a dumb lawsuit. Turn on your heart light. Sorry, you can't talk about our alien that way. What a stupid lawsuit. All right. Shadow Puppet Theater. Elliot's uterus is glowing. My mom had a uterus.
Starting point is 01:03:11 I lived in it. And then JD finally gets to be Godfather. And he gets to name the baby's name is Jennifer Dillon. Jennifer Dillon. That was the best squeal ever in the history of squeals. And that was the best squeal ever in the history of squeals. He's so thrilled. He's so thrilled.
Starting point is 01:03:36 And then, of course, as we mentioned at the top, it's just beautiful. And I queued up 30 seconds of the song because it's a beautiful song by Keen, which is a band that's disappeared and I just used to love. I still love. I walk love. I walk alone This empty land Why
Starting point is 01:03:51 do I have to fly? Yo, you know what my song is. Oh, simple things. Where have you gone? This song is fire. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:04:06 You know why it's fire? It's fire because it was, dude, that band was so dope. They had so many dope songs, man. Yeah, if you don't know Keen, go back and listen to Keen. We need more from you, Keen. Keen, come back. Let's get back together. Keen, I don't know what happened.
Starting point is 01:04:23 I had a great time backstage with y'all. Keen, if your manager's listening, please get back together. Do you remember that time we hung out backstage with them? And they freaking, when they tore down the house with, and if we have a minute, why don't we go? Yeah, the lead singer had the sickest voice. Do you remember when they came and ate lunch at scrubs no yeah dude they came to the whole band came to visit and sat down and we ate lunch with them this british band dude and that's how and then me you raiden uh uh bill was bill with
Starting point is 01:05:02 us when we went i I think he was. But we went to the freaking, see them at that in New York. I told the story on here. Anyway, I love them. And if anyone listening knows them, please tell them to get back together. They're so talented. But anyway, I digress. That beautiful song that's titled A Bad Dream,
Starting point is 01:05:23 if you want to listen to it, I'm only allowed to play a little bit. It underscores Judy's beautiful goodbye to Laverne that I always see people mentioning. That's one of the most moving moments in Scr times, it's just really so elegantly done and so beautifully acted. And I just think Judy is such a gifted artist. Scrubs Wiki mentioned that you can see a tear falling out of Aloma's eye. I remember that which is remember which is just so beautiful because i mean the actress aloma right was so moved that she cried
Starting point is 01:06:19 from from judy's monologue dude i remember I remember watching it and seeing Aloma crying and being like, oh shit, because we're right there for when, for one of the shots, we're right there. It's a continuous shot when she turns around. The three of us are standing there and Judy comes out and I hug her and everything like that. But I remember in that take, you could see the tear coming down, uh,
Starting point is 01:06:47 Aloma's face. That was a very powerful moment. It was a really, really, not only was the scene acted, not only was the scene, uh, uh, acted well, she, she was very strategic on how she did it too. I don't know if Judy worked on, I don't know what it was instinct. I don't know what it was but to be able to start a scene and keep it on a joking side and trying to be funny the whole way through and then getting to a moment where you can't be funny anymore because it hurts so much and being able to convey that through camera is very very difficult it's a very very challenging exercise in any form of acting to do that to be happy happy i'm gonna project happiness but really i'm hurting and then the tears come through because at least for an actor at least
Starting point is 01:07:39 for me when i'm set on crying i'm gonna fucking try and get to crying you know what i mean she didn't do that. She started off. She had to start the scene being in denial and trying to make some jokes. And just really elegantly done and beautifully directed by Victor Nelly. Yeah, well done. What else do we want to say? I think that we did the show. We don't have a guest today.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Anything you want to add, Donald Faison, legendary member of the Screen Actors Guild? I like Obi-Wan. I'm glad you like Obi-Wan. And it's not because you're my friend. Check out Obi-Wan. Check out episode three. It's masterfully done. I can't wait for episode four.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I'm not going to lie either. I'm very interested to see what happens next. Because there's something. Wait, no, don't end on me, motherfucker. I'm talking about Star Wars what happens next because there's something wait no don't and um me motherfucker I'm talking about Star Wars man Wu-Tang forever I am so excited to see what happens next because there are things that
Starting point is 01:08:35 they need a redo are you gonna go see Top Gun? it made a zillion dollars my wife wants to see it so bad you know um you love the joel okay so let me ask you a question it was good for the very very good weekend here's the thing can i speak you were not letting you spoke the whole fucking show dude all right so look
Starting point is 01:08:56 um did you see top gun when you were a young person, Joel? Of course. Yes. Okay. Is it fan service? Like, Spider-Man's a very fan service, fan-heavy movie. Yeah, I feel like a few moments. It definitely makes many a callback. The camera loves to linger on the photo of Goose and Maverick, Clasping Hands. You get the whole opening montage on the ship deck where they're like.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Well, don't make Daniel delineate another spoiler. No spoilers here. But yes, there are lots of moments that reference the original movie. Well, Carrie Brothers. Okay, so with all of that. Carrie Brothers, who is a very big movie fan and sees everything. Donald, we hung out with him on Memorial day and he could not, he was like their publicist.
Starting point is 01:09:48 He could not stop talking about how amazing it was. He said, definitely go see it in IMAX. If you, if you have access to one and here in LA, he said, go to man's Chinese. It's like,
Starting point is 01:10:00 it's like a ride. He said, Oh my God. I want to see it so bad. Is it for kids? Can kids watch it? Oh yeah. Because kids couldn't watch that first one.
Starting point is 01:10:09 They was fucking in the first one. There is a very brief love scene. So brief. Yeah, I can't take my kids can't watch that shit. They can handle it. There's no even top. No, because then sex is out of the question in my house. Because if they hear any type of any sound, they're going to be like.
Starting point is 01:10:27 It's literally Jennifer Connelly falling onto a bed. She just falls backwards onto a bed. Gabrielle Union and I begin to make out and cheaper by the dozen. They couldn't handle that. All that is is tackle kissing. Okay. That's nothing. Tackle kissing.
Starting point is 01:10:41 They can handle tackle kissing? They can handle parents tackle kissing. Okay. And I can get away with. When you kiss on Casey and find them. I can get away with if they were to walk into the room and we were doing something being like, we're tackle kissing. We're tackle kissing. I could get away with that probably.
Starting point is 01:10:59 I'm so panicked. When you kiss Casey. Well, it would have to be. It ain't going to. Is it not going to be panicked, Joelle? Joelle, would it not be panicked. When you kiss Casey Well, it would have to be. Is it not going to be panicked, Joelle? Joelle, would it not be panicked? When you have children. It would be the ruining of their lives
Starting point is 01:11:12 at that moment. When you kiss Casey in front of them do they go, eww. Yeah, absolutely. Oh my god. They can't take it. They can't take it. If it happens on screen, I don't think they've seen you kiss Gabrielle Union in Cheaper by the Dozen. The minute you go in, they're like, oh, God, here we go.
Starting point is 01:11:29 They looked away. Yeah, they look away. Here goes that nasty shit again. All right, everybody. We love you. We appreciate you. Thank you so much for tuning in. We really love it that you listen.
