Starting point is 00:00:38 This is Neil Strauss, host of To Live and Die in LA. And I wanted to quickly tell you about an intense new series about a dangerous spy taught to seduce men for their secrets and sometimes their lives. From Tenderfoot TV, this is To Die For.

Starting point is 00:01:37 finger, that muscle, it just started spasming. Has that ever happened to you? Like a muscle spasm, just flickering like a light. Yeah. You know what he told me? He said, too much caffeine. He said, have you been Like a muscle spasm, just flickering like a light. Yeah. You know what he told me? He said, too much caffeine. He said, have you been drinking a lot of caffeine? I go, yeah, I've been drinking tons of caffeine.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And he said, that's why your muscle's twitching. Yep. That happen to you? Sometimes my eye, my eye'll just twitch. Yeah, I get that in the eye piece. He said, it's either stress, caffeine or both. I said, I've been doing both, Doc. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I've been doing both. Stress is the number one killer. Well, anyway, so he said, chill out with the caffeine and it'll go away. And he was right, man. Why don't you just chill out with the stress, bro? Chill out with the stress. Why didn't he say that?
Starting point is 00:02:20 It's harder to chill out with the stress. The caffeine is under my control. Just don't fucking pound tons of caffeine all day long. Right. True. But it's like my last juicy vice. I love it so much. I love it. It's so great. You cannot listen. Yeah, I have a bunch of vices. Caffeine is definitely one of them.
Starting point is 00:02:39 I love it. I fucking love caffeine. And now I'm into these matcha lattes. They're so good. Oh my gosh. I love a matcha latte because you get the caffeine high, but you don't get as jittery. But then I'm just drinking more caffeine because I'm like, give it to me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Especially when I'm directing. Like I want, I think there's so much coffee around and I'm just like, ah, and then I have a red, a sugar-free Red Bull and I'm like, ah. Come on. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And then I have a red, a sugar-free Red Bull and I'm like, ah, and so I went down a wormhole when I was directing where I was having so much
Starting point is 00:03:14 caffeine that I literally started twitching. Yeah. And I videotaped it to my sentence and my doctor, the muscle was like, you know, cause in my mind, I'm like, I'm clearly dying because this is not good. So I videotaped this muscle just freaking out. So he could tell me like, I'm clearly dying because this is not good. Right. So I videotaped this muscle just freaking out. So he could tell me like, hey, you've had a good 48 years, but you're dying. And he just wrote back, have you been drinking too much caffeine?
Starting point is 00:03:35 And I was like, you have no idea how much caffeine I've been drinking. So there you go, audience. Dun, dun, dun, dun. I love the more you knows. They're good. I really, you know, I'm going to have a vulnerable moment. I hope extended family goes another season so I can get my, the more you know.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Don't you think it's gonna, I mean, isn't, aren't all signs pointing towards good? I don't know. You know, you, you never know. This is the, this is what it is to be an actor in Hollywood and being a working actor. You know what I mean? It looks like from what everybody sees that, you know, I'm always working, but I'm not always working. You know what I mean? And because I'm not always working, I'm always thinking about what are other ways that I can work. Because you have little mouths to feed. Not always working. I'm always thinking about how what are other ways that I can work
Starting point is 00:04:28 Because you have little mouths to feed. Well, it's not just little mouths I kind of get off on it too. You know what I mean? Like let's be 100 about it. I like being on set I like you know, I like Joking around with the crew and pretending I'm somebody else that shit's fun You know, I mean, I just did a short recently and I had a great time doing it. All for the fact that it was like, you know, look, there's not a lot going on for actors right now. People are really fucking struggling right now. You know what I mean? And and holy cow, I got the opportunity to work on something else. It's a blessing. You know what I mean? So um
Starting point is 00:05:04 I don't know. I don't know where I was going with this, but I just- I think what you're going with is that you're really appreciating this job and not just because financially it's money for you to take care of your family, but you love performing and you're not always given a chance to perform and you want it to continue because you're having such a good time. Well said.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Thank you for jumping inside my head and saving my thought. No, no, I just think that you probably had a point to make and then you're high, so you lost the thread, but I helped you back. Hey, yo. Weed, not even once. No, weed all time. The more you know.
Starting point is 00:05:42 There goes my opportunity at that. They're like, Donald, you know you had us and then you did it. The more you know about how you love weed and. Yeah. I don't think that the more you know committee listens to the podcast. I think it'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:05:55 It's their favorite podcast, I'm sure of it. I think the people who decide if you can do a more you know, don't go, ah, he smokes weed. I don't know. Look, how about this? Look, check this out. How about this?
Starting point is 00:06:08 If you can imagine it, they're probably fans of the podcast. A lot of people are fans of this podcast. It's very popular. I can't believe it. I was at basketball. Go ahead. What happened?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Is that the one where you dribble? Yeah. And you shoot the ball. You shoot the ball. You shoot the ball. You dribble a lot of things. You gotta dribble if you're gonna walk or you get to travel. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And one of my son's teammates' mothers came up to me and started reciting the podcast and how she was getting a kick out of it. Really? She enjoyed it. Yes. Did she say anything like this? Zach and Darold are gay newlyweds in house arrest. No, she didn't, but she'll tell me about it
Starting point is 00:06:49 the next time she sees me, I hope. She says she doesn't listen to all of them, but she listens to some of them and she listened to the most recent one. Well, good. I'm glad. It's a very popular podcast. We thank everyone for tuning in and listening.
Starting point is 00:07:02 This is so much fun for us to do. We like to get together and giggle. Danel now lives in New York. Jewel Monique is down to get down. No, hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't put that out there like that. There's a song. We haven't heard the song.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Jewel, would you mind if we played the song? We don't necessarily know what, well, her mom doesn't like that song. Your mom doesn't like the song, Jewel? My mom felt it was a tad inappropriate, but I like that song. Your mom doesn't like the song, John? My mom felt it was a tad inappropriate, but I like the song. All right. Would you mind if we, Danil played it right here just to remind people? I would not mind at all.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Go ahead, Danil, play the song. Okay. Danil will then put the song right here. Get the word out all over the town. Joel Monique is down to get down. No matter what's between your legs, tomorrow morning you could be making an X. Joel Monique is down to get down. No matter what's between your legs, tomorrow morning you could be making a hex. Joel Monique is down to get down.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Oh yeah. Joel Monique is down to get down. What a tune. What a tune, Don. I love that song. I mean, I feel like if Rihanna recorded that, it would be a hit. Wow. Oh, hell yeah. That wouldanna recorded that, it would be a hit. Wow. Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I'm gonna record it definitely. It'd be a hit. That'd be amazing. That would be a bomb. Joel Monique is down there, get down, get down. Yeah. Gosh, you know, I just feel like whoever, I forgot the name of the gentleman who wrote that song.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Joel, do you remember? Because we need to give him a shout out and he should write for Beyonce. Yeah, shout out to Travis Freschner who the Joelle Monique's Down to Get Down song as well as a bunch of other stuff. We love Travis. Thanks Travis. Beyoncé's releasing a country album? It's gonna be good. Hell yes.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. I already ordered the vinyl. You already ordered the vinyl? Hell yeah. I got a text from Beyoncé that said new merch available right now. I ran to the vinyl. You already ordered the vinyl? Hell yeah. I got a text from Beyonce that said, new merch available right now. I ran to the website. I said, I don't need a fifth t-shirt in a year.
Starting point is 00:08:51 That's too many Beyonce, but I will order the blue vinyl. Ta-da. The vinyl is actually a cool fricking idea for a country record. If you're gonna listen to country, you gotta have the... The crackle? The gotta have the the crackle
Starting point is 00:09:07 crackle that crackle Albums on vinyl Wow My daughter has Beyonce Beyonce record on vinyl and when she gets upset and ups at us She goes into her room right when she gets into her room and she turns it up full blast. And all we hear is, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. That's hilarious. She gets mad at you guys and then cranks her Beyonce, ranks her Beyonce vinyl on us. Are you guys laughing? Hell yeah, we're laughing, man.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I would be cracking up so hard. Some of the things that they think they're doing to hurt us is funny as hell, man. Like some of it hurts, it scars. Like my daughter, when she was a kid, she would say, well, she's still a kid, but when she was really, really young, she would say, I never loved you.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And that shit hurt. Oh my God. It's like just a straight punch in the gut, right? Damn. But I think about it, and it makes me laugh too, cause clearly she loves me, but the fact that she was so vicious at such a young age. If I had kids and they were, when they're mean to me,
Starting point is 00:10:16 and I know all kids say mean shit, I would be so sad. That would mess me up. She said, I never loved you. Yeah, it messes me up, bro. John Cryer was on the talk right before me and he did a funny, funny video about, about wanting to break up our bromance. I saw, I saw that on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:10:35 That was funny. Well, say goodbye to TikTok, Daniel. Okay. And what do you think? TikTok is going to go away, Daniel? You're our resident tech expert, tech- tech expert. Oh, I don't know. To be honest with you, I would trust Joelle on this one more. But what I will say is that I think it would go away before TikTok decides to divest from
Starting point is 00:10:52 all that Chinese money. That's what I'll say. Yeah. So, Joelle, what do you think the odds are that TikTok actually gets banned because it's run by the Chinese government? Is that what's happening? That's pretty much what they're saying. The concern is that it puts American users at risk
Starting point is 00:11:10 for their information being stolen because of how China runs their information gathering. Is that what I want to say? When you say information, are you saying like their identity or are you saying their data? So anything you put onto TikTok, TikTok owns. You put your face on there, TikTok owns that saying that you put on to TikTok, TikTok owns, you put your face on there, TikTok owns that you put your voice on
Starting point is 00:11:28 there, TikTok owns that they can do AI duplications with it, they can use your face in ad images. Instagram has a similar policy in that if you put it on Instagram, it's theirs to use how they see fit. But I don't believe they then take any ownership over your image or voice. Like takes out the- One is also one of the other issues is that, that the Chinese government, if they have pernicious goals,
Starting point is 00:11:55 can spread dissent amongst the populace. That was also a concern. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. They had, cause they put out a, and I think some folks felt that China and TikTok sort of proved this point when they sent they blast out an image message to all of their users to be like, hey, call your congresspeople and let them know you don't want to lose TikTok. And of course, they saw a huge influx and people responding and they were like, wow, this could potentially be very powerful. could potentially be very powerful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It's all, it's all, but it's, potentially it's, I think TikTok now is a number one, the most powerful social media outlet. Everybody's gonna have, you know what I mean? That it just jumped to number one. It was probably there already, but now for sure, for sure. Cause it's so addicting. It's like the Uber crack rock of social media.
Starting point is 00:12:42 It's funny that you say Uber, because I feel like this is a very similar move we're seeing where like companies are just deciding to influence policy. I'm trying to remember exactly what it was. I think it was Prop 22 in Los Angeles. I think I could be wrong about that. I'm sorry about the number. I'll double check. But Uber spent Uber and Lyft spent hundreds and hundreds of million dollars advertising around the city being like, stop this proposition so that we can continue to not pay our ride shares a livable wage or give them health benefits. And you can continue to be a gig worker who like works on your own time. And
Starting point is 00:13:18 it's like, when you have that much money and that much influence, it's like, when do you stop being kind of like an independent company and start being this body that influences policy? And it's like, that's when you really start to have a conversation about like, that is bad. That is bad. Like tick tock. Turn Minneapolis up. Uber and Lyft just left Minneapolis because they passed a law that said you have to pay them what, $15 an hour? Yeah, it's ridiculous. So it's like it's it's it's bad. And to say that you don't have that influence is completely false.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Well, it'll be interesting to see how it ends up. I mean, to have something so popular right now, for better or worse, whether you love it or hate it, the idea of it being banned is pretty, pretty crazy. It would be super surprising, but possible. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I wonder where all those people would go. Where would they go? Instagram? Back to Instagram.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Back to Instagram. Also, it was about 2012, right? A Snapchat might see an inflation in users, particularly as- As soon as that shit disappears, whatever that algorithm, not the algorithm, but whatever the idea is, it'll immediately be Instagram.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Don't they have that shit already with the reels? Yeah, but it'll be interesting. It would suck for a lot of people that have, you know, gotten their fame and I assume their money from being TikTok fluencers because they would no longer have a fan base. That's kind of like what happened to Vine stars, right? They just all of a sudden lost all their fans.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah. Or maybe they moved them elsewhere, I don't know. They probably moved them to Reels. I mean, Vine just got eaten up and then Reels and Vox. But weren't there, they were like real big Vine stars and then they like just turned it off. Oh dude, there's stars from every platform. There's Instagram stars, there were Facebook stars,
Starting point is 00:15:04 YouTube stars, like just all of them. No, of course, I'm just saying if you're a TikTok star right now, you're like, fuck. Gotta diversify your content. I gotta diversify. We making TikToks about how I'm going to Instagram, guys. Look at my fit, check out my fit. I'll show you more of my fit.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I'll show you more of my fit on Instagram. On the wheels. On the wheels. I'll show you less of my fit on Instagram. On wheels. I'll show you less of my fit on OnlyFans. Yeah, you like my fit, you can see more of it on Instagram and less of it on OnlyFans. There we go. OnlyFans. Now, who owns OnlyFans?
Starting point is 00:15:40 That's connected to somebody else. We're all the people, Donald. Facebook and Instagram are the same shit, right? Facebook, Instagram, and whatever that other thing is. Oh, but meta. I've never seen an OnlyFans. Well, I haven't either, Zach. Zach, you're not so convincing, Donald.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I promise you, I haven't either. But I have definitely gone through the... The homepage? The cost page, the price rate. Yeah, the cost page, like, at the last second gone, no! Don't get me wrong. Nevermind. Don't get me wrong, my thumb has hovered over the button.
Starting point is 00:16:28 I catch my thumb hovering. But I don't want to be on like some OnlyFans list. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I have curiosity. Right. OnlyFans is owned by, let's call it, let's see here, Phoenix International, Phoenix International Limited. So some, you know, some limited holding company or something. There's somebody out there, there's somebody out there
Starting point is 00:16:59 or people out there who are making money every time someone subscribes to an OnlyFans account. That person's probably got a lot of dough. Oh my God, are you kidding me? Yeah, the guy who ever invented that or owns a piece of it, and every time some guy doesn't just hover but pushes the button. How do the OnlyFans people who aren't doing like the toes and the nudity and the sex work. How do those people do like the ones that are actually on there?
Starting point is 00:17:29 Like, I'm teaching you how to play the guitar today. You know, really do that, do they? Hell, yeah. I think those people are probably more on Patreon than they're on OnlyFans just because of the way that the market of the website has changed. But they're there and it works the same way. Really? There's people on OnlyFans that aren't showing. Listen, if I were a celebrity I would fucking go on only fans and be like you are so this is how we're gonna have
Starting point is 00:17:50 Animation class today guys and fucking then you whip your dick out That's what that's what all the comments would be probably. Dude, fucking whip your dick out. Dude, we didn't come here for stop motion. Take that fucking dick out. Whip your fucking dick out. Yikes. Oh, no. Jesus Christ. Do you guys know who the highest paid person on OnlyFans is as of 2024?
Starting point is 00:18:16 No. She's a white rapper. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, wait. I know. Is it Iggy Azalea? It is Iggy Azalea Do you know how much money she makes a month from her OnlyFans account? How much a month? How much a month?
Starting point is 00:18:31 I need you guys to guess because it's crazy. Just throw out a number. Well, what's the reason? 500 grand 9.2 million Shut the fuck up! A month? What does she do? I don't know, I've never seen her page before. Maybe we should join. Wait, you have OnlyFans, Joelle?
Starting point is 00:18:49 I've never seen her page before. Wait, Joelle, what if the show research? Joelle, do you have OnlyFans? Because if you do, we need you to share so we can see what's going on. Joelle, what if we got a Fake Doctors Real Friends account? OnlyFans account. That's only for research to see what Indian Zellie is up to.
Starting point is 00:19:04 That's all it's for is research. Donald and I will not have the login. OnlyFans account. That's only for research to see what Iggy Azalea is up to. That's all for his research. Donald and I will not have the login. Only you will have the login. But you must share information. Yeah. Oh my God. I would do it. I would do it.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Here's some stats. We might have to ask Will Pearson if we're allowed to use iHeart money for OnlyFans. OnlyFans! I'll check in with Big Daddy Roll. Didn't Mr. Beast do it? But it's his money. Mr. Beast sure.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Joelle, can you tell me, does Iggy Azalea show naughty pictures or just raps? I think she is getting, we might say salacious, but I don't know how much she is actually showing. I know whatever she's showing, the subscription price is 20.99, and she's estimated to generate around $307,000 a day. What is she putting up there?
Starting point is 00:19:51 What is she putting up there that this- It's probably like underwear pics and stuff like that. Get the fuck out of here, man. There's no way Iggy Azalea, just underwear pics is getting fucking- You could get that shit anywhere. I'm sure it's on the internet. That's on the internet. Joelle, we need you to join as a research project. Donald and I will not glance.
Starting point is 00:20:09 We have no interest. We need you to do the recon. You can charge it back to the show. Let us know what's happening on there. Wait, no, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Then we're paying for OnlyFans, bro. No, just for Iggy Azalea's for what, three days? Joelle, what's the minimum time we can do our research?
Starting point is 00:20:25 Do no, probably one month subscription, I think. Oh, Daniel, do you have only fans? Do I have an only fans page or have I ever used it? No, or do you have a subscription to only fans? I do not currently have a subscription to only fans. I definitely don't want Daniel's only fans. Why not, man? All you got to do is just pay the $20 if that's the case.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I'm not paying $20 for underwear pics. I don't think it's, I think it's more. By the way, the actress, is it Dreya DeMatteo? Is that how you say her name? Dreya DeMatteo, yeah. Yeah, she has one. Yeah, she does. I think she said that she,
Starting point is 00:21:00 or I read that she doesn't do nude. She does like, you know, like, you know, like, what's the magazine like? Maxim? Maxim kind of pictures. Yeah. And then she's got a- How much money is she making?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Joelle look it up. Enough to save her house or wherever she was staying, she was able to continue to afford it post. Cause in the, during the pandemic, she wasn't working obviously like a lot of folks. And she said this allowed her to maintain her current living situation Was it just pictures or was it videos?
Starting point is 00:21:29 I'm not sure but what if Donald and I put up like Maxim style pictures of ourselves That's what I want to say. Can I make money doing that? Yeah, go to run you and take out like get sweaty take off Yeah, do you want to go up to run you and take some sweaty? I would probably die. But yes, let's go to Runyon, take off our shirts. And we'll bring some like canola oil. Nobody's going to buy this. Nobody's going to fucking subscribe. We need to get our OnlyFans going, bro. Nobody's subscribing to our OnlyFans.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You don't have to show nudity. Okay, are we touching? Are we touching? No. No. Are we touching? Well, it depends. How much more money do you think we'll make if we touching? Are we touching? No, no. Yes. No. Are we touching? Well, it depends.
Starting point is 00:22:07 How much more money do you think we'll make if we touch? I think we'll make a lot more money if we touch. I think if we touch, there's money. What if I oil you up and just get on your shoulders and eagle? But you have to be like in your underwear. I'll wear like a, what do you call it? A tiny bathing suit, Speedo.
Starting point is 00:22:21 A Speedo. Yeah, I'm not gonna show my junk. Boiled. I'm not gonna show my junk. Boiled. I'm not gonna show my junk. Not nothing, not just a tip. Well, it depends. If I'm making that TV Azalea money. Tip?
Starting point is 00:22:33 What if it's Shaft? Shaft, nobody, you can disguise Shaft. You can disguise Shaft. We can have an OnlyFans account that, the theme is Shafter balls. And we show a little something and the the only fans visitors have to guess if it's a piece of the shaft or a piece of Or a piece of the balls. Yeah, I'm in Hi, should we get into the bucket show The fucking show. All right, count us in. Five, six, six, seven.
Starting point is 00:23:23 to hear our, gather round to hear our, scrubs rewind show with Zach and Dono. Season nine, episode three, everybody, directed by Gail Mancuso. Dono, I hope you liked it a smidgen more than you liked the last one. I actually liked this one a lot. Okay, wow, what a turnaround. But I'll tell you why I liked it a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Go ahead. Because everything that was going on was your problem, it was Cox's problem, and even Lucy's problem, because you're her mentor, made it so that it was your problem as well. You know what I mean? And so it made it feel like I was connecting back to the old characters.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I also liked the, once I settled into it, I kinda like the idea of these guys on television right now, you and I are probably, I don't wanna be controversial or too controversial, but the gayest couple on television right now, when you watch this. I think- Here I am on at this point. And so is Will and Grace. We're gayer than Will and Grace.
Starting point is 00:24:27 We're gayer than Will and Grace. And you have Elward and Queer as Folk on. OK, but there's no relation. Our relationship on television is my ideal relationship in real life. Oh, you know what I mean? That that's it's so fucking cute, dude. And there's like, you could, it's a shame that you're leaving in a couple of episodes.
Starting point is 00:24:52 You know what I mean? I know. I do think that JD is, and this is my controversial take, he's such a dick in this episode. I mean, outside of loving you and everything, he's so selfish. He's so self-obsessed. And he's going out of his way to spite Drew
Starting point is 00:25:10 because he's jealous of the attention he's getting from Dr. Cox. Now I know people behave this way in real life, of course, but I just hated seeing it from a character that we want the audience to root for. To me it seems- Can't tell you why I hated it. To me it seems so overtly childish and-
Starting point is 00:25:27 That's exactly it right there. And not in the tone of the character that I had thought I created. You're a grown ass man. What the fuck are you doing, bro? Right, what are you doing? You're acting like a child, a jealous child. And really, really, really being horrible to Drew,
Starting point is 00:25:42 who's clearly a troubled guy, who's trying to get his life back on track. I didn't like that at all. And it made me think like, if we ever do a reboot, like I don't wanna, you know, I'm 48 years old and the character I think is younger than me, but still like he's gotta be, he can be silly. Like I am a silly man, but he's gotta be a mature doctor
Starting point is 00:26:01 who's grown and he can still have a best friend Turk that's like our friendship, but he can't be like this infantile baby. It's just doesn't, I didn't even, I didn't like the way it felt. It doesn't track. He's still rude for him. I didn't like him.
Starting point is 00:26:17 At the end of the show also you have a beard and a beard is a sign of wisdom and everything like that. He sees it, you know what I mean? Like sincerely, and then all of a sudden, it's not that the beard's gone, but all of a sudden, when the beard is gone, you're a student at one point. At one point you're sitting in the audience of the class, I mean in the classroom, raising your hand, interrupting.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Also dressing, I mean, I get it, the JD doesn't understand sports. And there's some funny jokes about that in here, but like the dressing up like the mascot was like, what show is this? This is like, it just felt so silly. I know the show is silly. I thought they were so cute at that point though.
Starting point is 00:26:57 The two of them walking in and him like, dude, I can't believe you dressed up like this. And you're like, I like you didn't put the glitter on. You're right. Did you get upset that you can't put the glitter. That shit made me laugh. I was like, these fuckers are cute as balls. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 00:27:11 We're like Siskel and Ebert. All right, let's get to the top of the show. JD says, let's go to the sauna so we can sit-sercise. It's funny, all these years later, I actually do like a regular sauna. I never did before. But you do. I actually do like a regular sauna. I never did before But you do now Do you like a steam? I do but I prefer sauna because I like it to be really fucking hot and I want it to be so that you can barely stay in for 15 minutes and when 15 minutes comes you're like
Starting point is 00:27:37 Oh, let me out and then you jump into the ice cold water. Yeah, right I guess so that's for me that currently that's around like 184 degrees. So that's hot. When you start, do you start with the sauna and go ice? Yeah, you always start hot and you always end on cold. Got it. What do you think of Drew's tattoo coming alive in a weird computer graphic way?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Wild. I didn't understand the reason. I think that's his real tattoo. And they were trying to make a joke out of his weird real tattoo. Okay. Because I think that's, I mean, it was definitely, definitely a real tattoo that he had. I don't know what it, I don't really know what it is. It's a mask of some sort, but then it comes alive. They, but it's funny.
Starting point is 00:28:21 It's not really a scrubs-ish thing to do too many computer CGI jokes. Well, that was a green screen face, if you remember. It's computer animated. No, yes, but that was actually somebody with a green screen face. Remember, Rabidu's gone now. There was a new dude standing in for you. Do you remember the gentleman? I forget the gentleman's name. I forgot, but you're saying he had a green screen head on. Yeah, but that was a fully- Yeah, and I remember he did the whole thing where he did his head like this and-
Starting point is 00:28:50 Right, but I'm saying, if you look at season one through eight, there's very few computer graphic fantasy-esque jokes. And this was, I guess this was like season nine, we're gonna have computer graphic jokes. Yeah, we're gonna shoot HD video and put so much grain that it looks like we bought old film. And I don't know if you also, the flashes in and out
Starting point is 00:29:14 of the fantasies are different too. They're like more of like a white, I don't know, they're weird, they're different. Let's take a break.

Starting point is 00:29:55 This is Neil Strauss, host of the Tenderfoot TV True Crime podcast, To Live and Die in LA. I'm here to tell you about the new podcast I've been undercover investigating for the last year and a half. It's called To Die For. Here's a clip. All these girls were sent out into the world and they were told, try to meet important men, try to attach yourself to important men. The voice you're hearing is a Russian model agent, telling me about spies sent out to seduce men with political power. The war in Ukraine is also being fought
Starting point is 00:30:32 by all these girls that are all over important cities. For the first time, a military-trained seduction spy reveals how the Russian government turned sex and love into a deadly weapon. If you want to kill your target, it's easy. You just seduce him, take him somewhere, start having sex, and then he's very vulnerable, so you can kill him easily. To Die For is available now.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Listen for free on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. If you've been following the news, you know that from healthcare access to safe schools, LGBTQ plus rights are under attack. And it's about time queer and trans youth get the microphone and tell their stories in their own words. This nonsense, we can kiss every woman's face goodbye. I'm Raquel Willis. Join me on my new podcast, Queer Chronicles, a show where LGBTQ plus folks tell their own stories in their own words. This season, teens will share all about growing up in political battleground states. I wish I could feel more comfortable in my own body here,
Starting point is 00:31:48 but that's just not the case. And follow along as they discover what queer and trans liberation means to them. This isn't running away from yourself. It's running into who you want to grow into. Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows.
Starting point is 00:32:15 So JD's gets scared and the tattoo says, mock him and I'll eat your soul. And JD says his breath was cold. Yes. Lucy bangs cold again. For some reason. Well, she's clearly physically attractive to him. He's very handsome. Very, very handsome.
Starting point is 00:32:33 And now his freaking, and I guess some of his jokes are starting to become endearing to her. The only thing that I hate the most is that he talks about himself in the third. But wait, let me ask you something. Just, and Jewel, you can weigh in I think the most is that he talks about himself in the third. But wait, let me ask you something. Just, and Joelle, you can weigh in
Starting point is 00:32:47 as our official woman of the show. Okay. Why is she sleeping with Cole? He's a douchebag. Is it just because he's hot? I have so many thoughts about Lucy sleeping with Cole. So many. I mean, we could probably do an entire conversation
Starting point is 00:33:04 just on this relationship. Well, I think one, it's easy. He's around. He's there. That's comforting. Sex is a nice release. And she's just like, there he is. Also, low self-esteem. Why? She's gorgeous and smart enough to be a doctor. I don't know why she would have low self-esteem, but image has nothing to do with that. It's weird. Lots of pretty girls are like, I don't look good. You're like, it's confusing as to why you're here.
Starting point is 00:33:31 When I see this relationship happen in real life and I see it plenty of times, I'm just as confused as when I see it on TV. What's happening ladies? Why do we do it? I don't know. I think it's because she does mention that he's good in bed. She says something about his hands being strong.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And I think you infer that she's having a good time having sex with him. And also he looks like Dave Franco. Very pretty. But he certainly is a horrible person. Horrible, horrible person. Who also did something horrible to her. Right, early on.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Is he being horrible in this episode when you're watching? Has he been horrible in this episode at all? I know he's just an idiot. He's not. When is he horrible? Joe, he's not. When Mahoney walks in, he was like, and she's there for like advice and support from her girlfriend. He's like, ladies threesome. It's like, bro, calm down.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Like, he shot a shot there. He shot a shot. He shot a shot. Twenty five Like, he shot a shot. They're freaking 25 years old. He shot a shot. 25 years old. He shot a shot. Jarell, he had to shoot a shot. Come on now. Come on, Jarell.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I commended him for that. At that moment, I was like, are you? Good for you, boy. Good for you. Let's flip it around to a real situation. Casey's friend walks in. You're just chilling in bed and you're like, so ladies. I'm a grown ass man right now.
Starting point is 00:34:46 I'm a grown man right now. Ain't no way Casey's friend's walking into the room unless she's trying to get something going, first of all. And the only way Casey's not like, get the fuck out of here, is if Casey's trying to get something going. So when that shit happens, I'm like, let's make it happen. Donald would definitely shoot his shot. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:35:06 Let's say that shit. Now, if I'm not down, I mean, I'm grown. If that shit happens, I would, I think, I think I would be able to read the room in that moment. You know what I mean? Donald shoots his shot and she's like, Donald, she's here to measure the drapes. Oh, why are we naked in bed fucking and if she's here to measure the drapes. Oh, why are we naked in bed fucking
Starting point is 00:35:26 and if she's here to measure the drapes? Oh, you didn't add that you were in bed fucking. That's like that dude going to the animation room. Oh, I love that story so much. This is a great story. I love that story. For those of you who hadn't heard that episode, someone, Donald's, who was it?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Someone selling Donald's car. My vintage car. Donald invited him to the animation room and he tried to kiss him. I thought, listen, I was showing him my animation. I thought he would appreciate the fact that my art history. He thought that was gay code. I thought it was cool. And he was like, he shot his shot.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Yeah, he did. But like, you know, and he might, there might be like some sort of slang like that you don't know that's like, do you wanna go to my animation room means, do you wanna play hard to get? Man, that don't mean, listen, there's no way. There's no way. There's no way anybody-
Starting point is 00:36:22 You might wanna Google that just to make sure. There's no way that's code in any, it might be now, I might be saying, I mean, I might've started a trend. I bet you there's couples that are listeners. Listen, if you're a couple that listens, this might be a good way for you to secretly in front of your friends or kids
Starting point is 00:36:40 say that you wanna hook up. You can be like, do you wanna go to my animation room? And only your partner will know. I love it. When everybody's like, huh? You're like, I'm an animator. Yeah. I, you know.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And your kids are like, you don't animate. I'm getting into it, Junior. Shut up. Darling, would you like to go to our animation room? To our animation room? Would you like to go to our wink wink animation room? All right, the second grade gym class fantasy. That was the most Johnny C must have been so happy that day.
Starting point is 00:37:14 That was the most Johnny C-esque fantasy with him being a gym teacher. He got to fucking peg kids in the face with dodgeballs. Yeah. He looked very happy. He looked like he was in his element. Nicky Wheeler, not the face with dodgeballs. Yeah. He looked very happy. He looked like he was in his element. Nikki Whelan, not the face. Yeah. Poor Nikki Whelan.
Starting point is 00:37:30 She keeps getting, I hope she gets this plotline beyond her being dissed for her looks eventually. That's just like the cold train. It's ongoing. It was last, it was first episode, second episode, and this episode. Well, we're three episodes in, and she hasn't had anything to do other than be a hot girl who gets dissed. Yeah. It's getting
Starting point is 00:37:56 bullied the whole, the whole, the whole. All right. All right. So cold train says to cold. Cold wants to be number one. Yeah, cold says the cold train is coming for Drew. He's jealous. He wants to be a doctor. This hallway scene where they confront each other, where Cole runs up on Drew. Colonel Doctor is in it like four times. So, you know, normally, for those of you don't know, when the background are sort of choreographed, so that when you end up the thing together, they're in the same place at the same time. That's why that way it makes sense that the person travels across the room. And normally that works, but sometimes someone can get out of their choreography and they appear in the
Starting point is 00:38:35 scene, like three places they shouldn't be at once. Well, Colonel Doctor did that in the scene. If you are interested in all, he appears like four different times during this one scene. Colonel Doctor's everywhere, or at least he's got triplets. They're triplets of that or whoever was the AD. Yeah. Fucked up. The second AD, sorry, whoever was in charge of crossing. It wouldn't be, it would be like the, it would be like the, well, the second, it wouldn't be the PA.
Starting point is 00:39:03 No, it's usually like the second second or yeah. Or the first AD depending on what the show is. But somebody fucked up because Colonel Doctor exists in, it's like he's in a metaverse because he appears many, many times in the background of the scene. JD holds office hours in a tree. See, now this at least is consistent.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Also, this is why I started to like the show. I was like, all right, at least they're being consistent. All right. So everything is going to happen in this tree instead of that bench. That other conversation should have happened in the tree also. You know what I mean? But I'm glad that this started up there. And then the puns for the learning tree has you have to branch out. I'm going to leave really bad.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Dad jokes. Oh, great. Security guards are back. They're very, very that was lame. I'm sorry. They're bad. I hated it. No, it's bad. I hated it. It's bad every time they appear. Was it men on film? Hated it. Hated it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Yeah, I think, first of all, they're so clearly trying to be the new janitor and Neil was so uniquely bizarre and funny, and this is not a good replacement. No offense to the guys, they're very funny actors. It's not their fault. It's just that it's trying to replace Neil. It's just not working. Well, the just that it's trying to replace Neil is just not working.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Well, the way that they're trying to replace characters, you know, I like the horse stuff with Lucy, but it's very unicorny. It's very she's like a JD in a young woman's body. Or, or just JD. Yeah, just JD, or just JD. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Horses are very unicorn-y. Lucy needs a new mentor, so she's on the hunt. And then JD sees Turk and Cox hanging, and he's so fucking jealous, and he writes why in his breath on the glass,
Starting point is 00:41:01 and Turk reads it backwards. And what do you go, sigh? Sigh. JD hates Drew, we said that. So this reminds me of Sean. Nobody cares, Sean. Nobody cares, Sean. Except that Drew's a student and JD's being such a petty piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:41:19 JD's a teacher. I know, it's so bad. Do you think Cox bears any responsibility for egging JD on in such an extreme way? I think Cox wants this kid to, I don't think Cox wants the kid to crack, but I think Cox wants this kid to experience all the annoy- look, he's a grown- he knows, Drew, you're grown, you're a lot older than these kids. You're smarter than these kids also. You know what I mean? We could actually hang out. You're not, you're a lot older than these kids. You're smarter than these kids also. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:45 We could actually hang out. You're not a fucking kid. I can actually, you know, you've been here before. You cracked. I'm gonna get you as close to cracking as possible. I think he's being an actual great mentor to this dude by making him, by making it so that the kids envy him. I think he's taken on this challenge.
Starting point is 00:42:05 That's why I really liked this episode because it's not about Drew, it's about Cox. You know what I mean? But he's taking on this mentorship, whereas JD didn't see the way he was taking on the mentorship. He did JD the way he's doing all the other interns. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Through fear, if you make it through, that's great. But this one, he's like, I'm gonna do it different. Let's switch it up. I know, but it's so horrible how JD is getting in the way of that mentorship out of his own insecurity. It's like, you had a chance to be a student and we saw all that. Now you're a grown man.
Starting point is 00:42:43 You're a teacher yourself. And you're freaking, you're a grown man. You're a teacher yourself. And you're freaking, you guys are best friends. You guys are buddies. You know what I mean? People will say, well, don't forget that he saw Turk and Cox in the restaurant. I mean, in the bar drinking beer, watching sports. That's because they're watching sports. And JD says, I saw you canoodling in that sports themed tavern, pretending you like beer. Does that make me laugh? We actually do like beer, JD.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Canoodling in that sports-themed tavern. Who used the word tavern? All right, we're going to take a break. And when we come back, we will talk about one thing that did make me laugh out loud in the episode. And I will say it after this break. That's what I'm talking about.

Starting point is 00:45:58 This isn't running away from yourself. It's running into who you want to grow into. Listen to Queer Chronicles on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your most fabulous shows. We watch your Wizette and Donald. And we're back. I laughed when, this wasn't my LOL, but I laughed when you said, you're John damn Dorian. And then I said, okay, well, if we do a chest bump,
Starting point is 00:46:29 don't flex because it always knocks the wind out of me. And then I flex and you go, see? It made me think about when you chest bumped, Donald chest bumped Momoa in one of the outtakes in the T-Mobile commercial, and Donald literally not doing a bit. He literally fell back from chest bumping Momoa. I lost my balance.
Starting point is 00:46:44 My God! I lost my balance. My God. I lost my balance. They jumped up in the air during one of the takes and meant to chest bump, and literally Momoa just stayed there and Donald fell flat back. Here's the thing. One, I had to jump.
Starting point is 00:46:59 I haven't had to jump in a really long time, but I had to jump to do the chest bump. So when I landed from the bump in the air, when I landed, I didn't land on my toes. I kind of landed in the middle of the toe. Why are you trying to qualify it? It's just funny that Jason Momoa chest bumped you to the ground.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Because I could have caught my balance. But when I realized I was going over for the camera, in my mind I said, this is way funnier, take the fall. I didn't know that. I thought you really knocked it out. You're saying you leaned into the joke. Yes. I get it now.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Well, that's less satisfying. I'm sorry. All right, here's where I laughed out loud. When Lucy's walking backwards and she falls and onto a patient and she says, I'm on your tube and he goes, that's how I eat. Oh God. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. That shit was funny. Oh God. That was very funny. I think I'm on your tube, that's how I eat.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. He was actually eating at that moment. Yeah. Well, he's in the middle of his meal. Why is he so upset about it? She was on him for a split second. He's like, that's the vegetables. Get up.
Starting point is 00:48:21 All right. Lucy wants to shadow Joe. Joe wants no part of it. JD then crashes Turk's operation. This was so weird. Okay, wait, hold up. Let's go, let's, hold up. Let's go back. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:32 So Lucy wants to shadow Joe. Joe wants, says go shadow Turk. She's like, get out of here. I can't because he's so knee deep in this new intern. Tall. Is that a new intern or a doctor, that guy deep in this new intern. Is that a new intern or a doctor, that guy? He was an intern. His new intern turned out to be a man that's older than Turk,
Starting point is 00:48:53 but is now back in medical school, and he's shadowing him. And he's a yes man too. So he's like- I don't think that guy should be in charge of the anesthesia though. That's what I didn't understand. I don't think that, even though he's an older guy, he didn't seem qualified to be in charge of anesthesia.
Starting point is 00:49:11 No, I think you have to actually be a doctor to be an anesthesiologist. I'm just saying that I don't think that someone who wasn't up to the task would be in charge of putting someone down in a surgery. That shit turned into all of a sudden the three stooges in an OR. Yeah, and that guy was just shy of bringing up
Starting point is 00:49:32 a sub sandwich and being like, sorry boss, I'm in the middle of lunch. Right, right, right, right. So check this out. So if I'm correct, and I could be wrong, that guy and the guy who's the security guard were writing partners on the show. Oh, okay, interesting.
Starting point is 00:49:55 That could be true. Well, he was a funny actor. I just didn't understand the storyline of him in charge of anesthesia. That felt like, you're right, it felt like three stooges. It all of a sudden got very, very slap sticky. He's like, this thing. Yeah, he's like, I don't know how to use this thing.
Starting point is 00:50:12 It's crazy, this machine. I don't know, I'm in over my head. And the woman's like, and the woman keeps waking up. And you're like, Dr. Turk is right. You should be asleep. You should be asleep. I know. And then you do the, you shouldn't be asleep. And then you do the, what would JD, what would John damn Dorian do?
Starting point is 00:50:30 And then she's like, you put in too many Ds. Yeah. Why isn't she asleep? Why isn't she asleep? All right, so that happened. Now, Joe, there's a 12 year old, but Joe has a patient that is ill and Lucy's trying to shadow her. And the patient that's ill has a 12 year old, but Joe has a patient that is ill and Lucy's trying to shadow her.
Starting point is 00:50:46 And the patient that's ill has a 12 year old boy and Joe tries to get Drew to babysit him. He doesn't like children. So Joe has to look after this kid himself while Lucy takes the patient to go get an MRI. I did get goosebumps when she comes back and says, I didn't understand that Lucy wouldn't, I know it was probably just for the story,
Starting point is 00:51:10 but I would have thought Lucy would be able to read an MRI and know it was bad news at this point in her track, but maybe that's wrong, I don't know. But she asked Joe to read the MRI and Joe says she's dying. And I thought that was a good moment. I got goosebumps at that moment. Yeah, it was a, well, I liked the connection that Eliza Coop and the kid created in the scene also.
Starting point is 00:51:35 It was actually good. Right, that kid was good. Yeah, very, and so was she. I liked that a lot. And so I agree with you. This is when the show started really getting interesting also for me, because now, and it's just me, and I think this is a great thing for the writers,
Starting point is 00:51:56 everybody who had the problem in the show was old school scrubs. So even though Eliza's, you know, part of the intern cast or med school cast, she was an intern for two seasons before this, you know what I mean? And so I'm well invested in her problems because I've been watching her, you know what I mean? Like if that's another thing, maybe if they would have bought familiar interns, I know it's a different story. Maybe you feel more like, but like, you know, but like, Sonny or, you know, I'm sure, and Sonny does make an appearance later on, but if they would have
Starting point is 00:52:40 bought in those guys and we followed that, but they just want to say straight up med school And I just say that Mike is really a good actor. Oh Absolutely, they're all great actors. No, I know his story only works because it's connected to dr Cox, you know what I mean? You're invested because it's Cox when it's not them You don't get it's hard to be invested in the and it's not the actors fault It's the fault of the way that, we shouldn't be on the show, man, it should be somebody completely,
Starting point is 00:53:10 it should be completely, there should just be one of us. You know what I mean? I'm just saying, I'm not minimizing any of the wonderful actors when I compliment someone else, but I'm saying I noticed what a good actor Mike Moseley is in this episode. He's so good. Yeah, he's a very talented guy. Yeah. I thought every moment, but I'm saying I noticed what a good actor Mike Moseley is in this episode. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yeah, he's a very talented guy. Yeah. I thought every moment, he managed to ride that line, which is very tricky in Scrubs, which is, and I don't, to be honest, I don't think I'm riding the line very well in this episode. I think I'm so broad and silly, and I'm in a different,
Starting point is 00:53:43 I'm in a slapstick show, in my mind. But I watched Mike and I said, he's riding the line really well. He's playing all of it straight, like it's all real. Now granted, he's not tasked with wearing owl cat makeup and working out of a tree, but I thought that he was playing it really believably well.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Maybe that's another reason why I liked that storyline too, because it reminded, it wasn't as slapsticky as everything else was. Although it's hard to believe that Drew doesn't know how to run a code at this point in his medical career. They sure did take their time getting a crash cart to this patient. They're just like, okay, he's coding, what do we do?
Starting point is 00:54:21 And I know that this is part of teaching, but like anyone who's seen a TV show in their life knows the first part is to get a crash cart to the patient. They're just sitting there talking and he's like, I don't know what to do. It's like, bro, you know how to fucking ask for the crash cart. I mean, you've seen episodes of Scrubs before?
Starting point is 00:54:41 You've got to, you had to have seen ER by now, right? You've never seen ER or Scrubs or Grey's Anatomy? You could just fucking yell crash card. What's wrong with you? Ask for the crash card first. Yeah, even I can tell you to yell for the crash card. I'm not, I haven't been all this med school. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:54:54 He's coding. He's coding? Yeah. Crash card! Crash card! That's just, it's standard. It's standard. Then just let the nurses do their thing and slowly slink away.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Back off. Back the fuck away. No, but he really panics in that moment as I'm sure we're joking, but I'm sure many a doctor who's training panics because someone's life is truly literally in your hands. And he panics and then JD steps in. But again, I just had so much trouble. Like of course JD's gonna step in.
Starting point is 00:55:26 He's a fucking supposed to be a great doctor. But then like the smirk on, not smirk, but the look on his face, like, now I'm gonna get attention from Cox. I just thought it was so lame. No, I don't think that was the intent. So when I looked at it, that's what the voiceover said, but the look on his face to me,
Starting point is 00:55:42 looked like he was worried about Cox. And I think the me, the voiceover didn't match the look that he had. How do you mean he was worried about Cox? Because he knows how important this kid is to him. And even though he's joking, this would have been a better story. He knows how important the kid is to him and he knows how invested he is in how much of this kid's career is now in his hands and how he wants it to work.
Starting point is 00:56:08 It would have been better if, yeah, JD's complaining about it, but when the moment happens, it's, you know, I fucking wanted to gloat at this moment in time, but I couldn't help but think about my friend. You know what I mean? That's a better story. You know what I mean? That's a better story. You know what I mean? And instead it went to, it went to ha ha ha ha. I'm the fucking number two. I'm number one again.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Right, which I didn't like. I also don't feel there's any reason for, it would have been more interesting if Cox and JD had some sort of legit friendship. In this episode, JD feels like a fucking stalker. Like Stan, what's this thing? Stan from- But you're out, Stan.
Starting point is 00:56:46 He's done cold, I'm wondering why. Yeah, he feels like Stan. Got out of bed at all. Yeah, why would Cox wanna be friends with this guy who's fucking obsessed with him? It's like- Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling. It would have been cooler if like,
Starting point is 00:57:03 and maybe this will happen if there's a reboot or something. We're like, no, they're, they're friends now. Like, you know, they're, they're colleagues that he can still, he can still diss him and be like a big brother to him in a way that, that, that Bill in some ways is to me. He feels like a big brother who's still sometimes, you know, big brother ish, but they're friends. Yeah. I mean, that would be but they're friends. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:25 I mean, that would be more interesting to me. Definitely. I thought that was the way that this was going to go. Well, it's not. JD's like a fucking stalker wearing owl makeup. The other thing that's crazy is that, so at the end of it, he goes and talks for both kids at the end. He talks for Lucy and he talks for Drew. It could have gotten there at the same time,
Starting point is 00:57:46 and the argument should have been between JD and Cox. You know what I mean? I don't know, man. I feel like it just missed the mark. The end of the story is the right ending. It's just the in-between there. I would have liked it if the push and pull would have been between if the push and pull
Starting point is 00:58:05 would have been between JD and Cox for the rest of the episode at that point. And I would like to believe that there's any redeeming value in Cox wanting to have a friendship with JD. Right now it's like, why would I wanna be friends with this fucking goofball who's like trapped in a 12 year old's body? Sorry, Joelle, what were you gonna say?
Starting point is 00:58:23 I was gonna say, continuing on this idea of friendship, I thought in an older version of Scrubs, Turk would have gone way harder on JD. Oh yeah, like dude, what the fuck are you doing, bro? He just came to you for advice. We would have did that and got dissed, man. We had each other. This dude has nobody, bro, come on.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I like the moments where Turk would like suddenly be like the most mature person in the room. It like happened periodically. You'd be like, oh, wow. Like look, Turk's like an actual full adult. And you were giving these moments with these like little side eyes. We were like, why are you doing this, man?
Starting point is 00:58:56 I kept waiting. I'm like, Turk, go in, go in. He just never does. I was missing it a little bit. Those are rare moments. I think Carla was really the one that, that's the missing factor right now, is the grounding of this show. Carla. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:59:11 She's not even referenced. I read on Scrubs Wiki. No, she's referenced. She's referenced. I thought we were leaving our wives at home. I know, I'm telling you that on Scrubs Wiki, it says, this is the first season nine episodes in which Carla is mentioned.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Specific details are not given, but Turk mentions they are still together. Okay, so then we do, we're at the bar, JD talks about how much he loves sports grass and how lovely it is. He calls beer sticky. And the guys imagine that their dream would be to have candy hands that turns anything to candy.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And Drew has a vulnerable moment. He comes up to Dr. Cox and he says, you know, I fucked up. Do you think you could forgive me? Right. And Cox is like, I get the fuck outta here. Yeah, which is bad. And then this was so bad.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Like Denise, Denise won't give the child her number to call her. That just felt like a bridge too far for me. You don't know. I know it's a story point, but it's like when the little boys like this is going to be hard. We will I be able to call you? No, no. Denise is cold. I'm cold. My mom's dying. I feel like. Denise is cold. Cold. I'm cold. My mom's dying, I just found out.
Starting point is 01:00:28 It tracks though. My mom's dying, I just found out I'm 12. Can I have your number to ask questions? No. It tracks though. She was like that and she's been like, I don't want you, you know, she doesn't really do the heartfelt stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:42 To a child, it just felt so fucking rough. Yeah. Okay, like you said, Lucy's a horse girl. Denise comes in, she says that they were studying and fornicating. And then we get the song, The Weepies. The Weepies song, Can't Go Back Now, which is a really pretty song that ends this episode.
Starting point is 01:01:08 I recommend The Weepies if you don't know them, they're a beautiful band. Then this sports grass thing again, then JD confronts Cox in a good way, even though he's wearing the owl ears. You made it work though, Zach. You pulled it off. I saw the actor going, how do I play a scene straight while wearing owl makeup and ears?
Starting point is 01:01:33 Owlcat makeup. I did my best. What the fuck's an owlcat? I don't know. Like a D&D character. Right? No, that's an owlbear. Owlbear.
Starting point is 01:01:41 I know. Sounds like one. There's a tag at the end where the security guards say that they've got another case of turf freaks, meaning that this is a common problem with people who like rolling around. That shit made me laugh in the beginning when it was just us on the turf.
Starting point is 01:01:57 And then it got, then I didn't like it anymore when it cut to the security guards. It should have ended with us on the turf being fucking JD and Turk. That's how it should have ended. Yeah, but then it goes to their security cameras and they call us turf freaks, which just means they have a recurring problem
Starting point is 01:02:15 with people that get off by touching turf. And they're gonna go get the tranquilizer gun. They're gonna get the tranquilizer. One-oh, one-oh, one-oh. No, it's a Taser. This time it's a Taser. Oh, right, right. It's called the Conquistador. The Mexican one, right. Get's a taser. This time it's a taser. Right. It's called the conquistador.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I'm the Mexican one. Right. Get the Mexican one, boss. Yeah. Get conquistador. They're going to go horrible. They're going to like extra tasers, like not just a regular taser, like a super strong one called the conquistador.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Cause we're on the turf. All right. Cause we're on the turf. That's crazy. We're gonna take a break and, Joelle, do you have some opinions on season nine from us? We have two. Oh, so exciting, everyone. You're not gonna want to miss this. Wait, I have something crazy to tell you right after the break. That's what I'm talking about.

It's called To Die For.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Here's a clip. All these girls were sent out into the world and they were told, try to meet important men, try to attach yourself to important men. The voice you're hearing is a Russian model agent telling me about spies sent out to seduce men with political power. The war in Ukraine is also being fought by all these girls that are all over important cities. For the first time, a military-trained seduction spy reveals how the Russian government turned
Starting point is 01:04:20 sex and love into a deadly weapon. If you want to kill your target, it's easy. You just seduce him, take him somewhere, start having sex, and then he's very vulnerable, so you can kill him easily. To Die For is available now. Listen for free on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:04:45 I used to have so many men. How this beguiling woman in her 50s. She looked like a million bucks. With zero qualifications. She had a Harvard plaque. Tricks her way past a wall of lawyers and agents. She's got all of these Maserati and Bentley all in the driveway. Is it like a mansion?
Starting point is 01:05:05 Yes, it's a mansion. That this queen of the con uses to scam some of the biggest names in professional sports out of untold fortunes. About six million. Approximately 11 million dollars. Nearly 10 million dollars was all gone. Employing whatever means necessary to bleed her victims dry. She would probably have sex with one of her clients. Hide your money in your old Richmond because she is on the prowl.

I don't really have anything to tell you. I was what was called just giving a tease before the break to ensure that you'd come back. You I can think of something crazy to tell you. You got us. Yeah, that's how that's how it works in radio. All right, you all go ahead.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Which one here first, positive or negative? Let's start with the negative so we can end with the positive. Sorry. Yes, I agree. Yes, you well go ahead. Lead it. Hello, Joel, Daniel, Zach and JD. Greetings from Flagstaff, Arizona. My name is Pete Kostelnick. And I just wanted to say thank you so much for the podcast.
Starting point is 01:06:30 When I think back, you know, a lot of us think back on COVID, what got us through it is this podcast coming out. You know, the scrubs came out when I was just going into high school. And I think having scrubs really was just a cool outlet, you know, as someone who identifies with JD's character. I've you know it just through all through high school and college it was pretty
Starting point is 01:06:51 pretty amazing to be able to tune in each week. That being said I'm here to say why I hate episode three our role model and I think the thing in this episode is someone who identifies with JD's character is I was kind of hoping that, you know, JD and Dr. Cox is a relationship would kind of move on more from JD seeking his approval and friendship to more of a, you know, kind of like when Dr. Kelso retired, it was a little bit more fun loving. And now I obviously I get the humor of the number one t-shirt that Drew wears. But I think for me, it just felt really cheap that he was able to get Dr. Cox's approval and love so so quickly.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Oh, he's but I think just in general with the show, it just it's really kind of sad for me to see some of the you know supporting characters and and people in different positions other than the doctor kind of Go away in the show and I think for me, you know But the funniest moments and scrubs are with you know when Neil the janitor or with Ted The lawyer and I think you know not having some of those more ancillary positions in the hospital involved including the nurses Ted, the lawyer. And I think not having some of those more ancillary positions in the hospital involved,
Starting point is 01:08:15 including the nurses, and it being more focused on the doctors and then the students becoming doctors, I think it's lost a you know, it, it, the, the chemistry piece, um, you know, JD and Zach's chemistry in the show is, uh, obviously on point, but I think beyond that, uh, it's just lacking that in general. Anyway, thanks for listening to my comments and, uh, I love the podcast. Thank you guys. Thank you. Peter, you guys should know, Peter sent us an email apologizing.
Starting point is 01:08:44 He was like, I was so nervous. I said JD when I met Donald twice. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thanks Peter. You guys should know Peter sent us an email apologizing. He was like, I was so nervous. I said JD when I met Donald twice. So he caught it on his listen back and he apologized. Peter, I could tell he was nervous. So Donald, don't get upset with Peter. He did a great job. I'm not gonna get upset, but I'm gonna say one thing though.
Starting point is 01:08:57 He, I thought he was gonna say exactly what we were saying. He was. It switched really quick. He said two really smart things. First he said he thought that JD and Cox would be a little more like Cox and Kelso, which is what we're saying And then he said something I didn't even thought of was missing but he's right all of the ancillary characters are gone I love that part too But then he also said the reason why he didn't like it though was because it took Jade he was jeez jealous, too
Starting point is 01:09:22 It took JD so long took JD, he's jealous too, it took JD so long to get Cox's approval and this dude gets it right away. So part of there, if I heard correctly, he said, I didn't like the fact that he's the number one character. He's the number one guy and how Cox made him. So part of him has a little bit of that jealousy in him too though. I hear you. That was really well said. Oh, absolutely. And thank you for being a listener and all the kind things you said about the show. And you know, I was saying preach during your whole two minute segment.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Well said. All right, Joel, let's hear someone who really likes episode three of season nine. Take it away, Danil. Hey guys, it's been a lot of fun listening to the show over the last couple years, so of course I gotta start out with a quick thank you to Bill. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:10:13 My god. You're starting off bad already, bro. Anyway, so I really like season nine, episode three. I think for me personally, one of the biggest reasons why is because I don't know how it felt for you guys on set, filming it, performing it, but to me as a viewer, it doesn't really feel like anybody is phoning it in, from the new cast to the old cast.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Everybody still feels in character, nobody feels like they're just there to take a paycheck. Everyone is super earnest. At least that's how it feels as a viewer. When you have Johnny C in the classic high school, you know, outfit with like the short shorts on and everything, I mean, he's still killing it. I can't imagine Johnny C. half-assing a performance. And no, he never does.
Starting point is 01:10:52 I really also liked when Johnny C. asks the class to let him clock the moment that they realize they weren't gonna make it as doctors and Carrie Bichet, her character is so earnest that she leans forward to really let him watch her soul die. I thought that was very funny. The film comedy between Turk and JD is still there. I mean, that chest bump where Zach just completely
Starting point is 01:11:15 like caves his entire chest cavity, I thought was very funny. The surgery scene was another one where I laughed real hard. Donald just making me crack up when he just kept yelling, why are you awake? Candy Hands was a classic one for me. I don't know why that one just really hit me. But then I think also season nine, at least this episode,
Starting point is 01:11:36 kind of nails that heartfelt sort of get you in the feels vibe that the rest of Scrubs had. The relationship between Denise and the kid, I thought was a really good evolution of her character. And then, I mean, the audacity of this show to have Zach acting the hell out of that scene with Johnny C. While he's in full on ridiculous cat's makeup,
Starting point is 01:11:57 I thought was just perfect. The thing I liked most about that scene though, was when Zach calls him Perry, he just, he doesn't do it as like a bit it's not like a you know flexing the relationship sort of thing he just calls him Perry because in that moment they genuinely are equals and I think that that's fantastic I mean season 9 as an epilogue that just kind of lets you see a little bit into these characters lives I thought was really
Starting point is 01:12:21 great it just gives me a little more scrubs and maybe I'm just a simple man, but I just wanted more scrubs. And I got more scrubs with some of my favorite characters as well as a whole host of really good ones. Really, really good new ones. I will say that Cole should probably be in jail for sex crimes, but you know, that's neither here nor there.
Starting point is 01:12:41 I think he's got a pretty good arc later on, but you know, still. Anyway, love you guys. Keep it up. You're all putting in fantastic work and and not Unappreciated so thanks so much. That was awesome That was Tom. Yeah, that was I think you can combine both both together I Think that's Tom. Yeah, I think that's the general census. You know what I mean? The show has so many great moments and their actors are so good. Tom was so convincing that he made me like the episode more. Yeah, you know what you like because he made you... The things that he talked about, he actually
Starting point is 01:13:18 nailed the moments that we laughed at the hardest, man. And there were a lot of moments where we laughed. We said those same moments. And I also, I appreciate the compliment of trying to do an earnest, real, genuine scene with cocks in owl makeup. So I appreciate the compliment. It's like a double black diamond acting exercise. Be taken seriously while wearing that.
Starting point is 01:13:41 But it's definitely slapsticky. I'm really liking this exercise, guys. I think it's really cool to hear a Siskel and Ebert pro and a con of the episode. I like it. It's lovely. Do you like it, Donald, a day of Shun? I do like it.
Starting point is 01:13:58 You know what I like a lot though also is that Extended Family comes on. Oh my gosh. At 8.30. We were to segue to She's Day Nights on NBC, and then you can stream it on Peacock the very next day. So if it's Wednesday, guess what? Peacock.
Starting point is 01:14:16 OK, we were going to segue to plugs, but you just seamlessly went there. Went right on in. And because I know where we're going, you ask, you were asking for my final thought pretty much. And my final thought is Extended Family, Tuesdays. Listen, French girl, guys, it's my new movie with Vanessa Hudgens. It's really funny.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Please check it out. Donald, I really want you to watch it. I know you don't watch things, but please watch this. You'll laugh. I'm telling you, we're doing a campaign. It's out right now. All right. The campaign is get it to number one.
Starting point is 01:14:45 It's on Apple, it's on Amazon, wherever you buy video on demand movies, check out French Girl and you'll have a laugh. Do you speak French in it? I do speak a little French in it, Donald. Ooh. Do you French kiss in it? I do French kiss in it, Donald.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Are there French fries? There are French fries in it, Donald. Whoa. Yeah. That's a bad idea. On that note, audience, we love you. Are there french fries? There are french fries in Donald. Woah! On that note, audience, we love you. Thanks for tuning in. We'll see you next time. Donald. And a Canada who loved making ice And he's got stories that we all should know
